"What?" Both women looked at Mu Qing nervously.
Mu Qing fumbled with his brand new clothes and asked anxiously: "Who changed my clothes in the first place?"
Zhang Shaoyao lowered his head and looked at his toes, and said calmly: "It's...it's me, what's wrong?"
The girl's fair ears were red, and Ning Chu noticed it. Unfortunately, Mu Qing completely ignored the girl's shyness and asked directly: "I remember there was a letter, have you seen it?"
"Ah, oh, you are talking about the letter to senior sister. I saw on the envelope that it said Ning Chu Qingqi, and gave it to senior sister at that time."
Zhang Shaoyao looked extremely cute and cute at this time. He raised his head and looked at Ning Chu with a smile, "Senior sister, right?"
"Yes." Ning Chu's voice was thin and weak. She turned around uncomfortably and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
Mu Qing smiled dumbly and said, "Senior sister, have you read it?"
Zhang Shaoyao replied: "Sister, I haven't read it yet."
Mu Qing nodded: "Sister, you can watch it then."
Zhang Shaoyao covered his mouth and snickered: "Sister, after reading this, remember to tell me what Yue Jiu wrote."
"That's enough for you!" Ning Chu grabbed his sleeve and took the letter inside it with him. She had always had a quiet temperament, but now she felt a little embarrassed and angry for the first time.
There was a smile in Mu Qing's eyes. He turned around and caught Zhang Shaoyao's gaze quietly looking at him. Seeing the little expectation dancing in the girl's eyes, Mu Qing was stunned for a moment and then said apologetically: "Shaoyao, I'm sorry. , I came back in a hurry this time... I brought that letter with me because I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding."
Ning Chu rushed Mu Qing and Zhang Shaoyao out of the secret room. When he heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "You started to learn how to live and drink when you went out by yourself, and you don't care about Shaoyao. Why did you get involved with me again?"
Mu Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Senior sister, can we talk properly? Why am I so drunk and drunk?"
"Yes, I believe brother A Liang is not this kind of person." Zhang Shaoyao forced a smile.
Mu Qing lowered his head and smiled at Zhang Shaoyao. He stretched out his hand to touch his head, but the girl wrinkled her nose and avoided her. "I am an adult now, and you still treat me like a little sister."
"I know, I know. But... I also prepared a gift for you when I went to Jinguan City this time, but I didn't have time to bring it back."
Mu Qing suddenly remembered the rouge he bought from Wang Xiuwei. When he suddenly said this, Zhang Shaoyao's eyes sparkled, and he took Mu Qing's hand and ran out of the secret room.
Back on the ground, the two brothers and sisters sat on the eaves as before. Zhang Shaoyao leaned against Mu Qing, holding his chin with his little hand, looking at the moon in the sky, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, naturally showing the uniqueness of the girl. of sadness.
"Brother, why do you think this is happening?" Zhang Shaoyao blinked, and the silver light from the moon fell on the girl's flickering eyelashes, illuminating the confusion in her bright eyes.
Mu Qing was silent for a while, then said uncertainly: "Maybe it's because we didn't grow up before..."
Zhang Shaoyao tilted his head and pressed his fair and delicate forehead against Mu Qing's chin. He felt a little uncomfortable and said with great certainty: "Brother, you grow faster than me, but you must wait for me."
The girl's coquettishness and inability to make trouble always made Mu Qing unable to resist. He stretched out his hand to push the girl's head away, looked at the dilapidated wall of the house not far away, and sighed softly: "I also went out for a trip, and then I realized that I had It seems that things are too simple.”
Zhang Shaoyao held his chin with one hand and reached out to Mu Qing's face with the other, trying to smooth Mu Qing's frown.
Mu Qing seemed to recall the sadness in his long memory and said: "This world seems to have never changed. It has become nothing more than people and the expression of desires."
"Peony..."
"Um?"
"I seem to have found some useful clues about your father..."
…
…
Under the same moonlight, when Mu Qing of Wanhua Valley told the girl Zhang Shaoyao about his discovery on the roof, Zheng Shi stood in the shadow of Huangsong Valley where the moonlight could not reach, while Hengyu was exposed under the moonlight. Half the face.
"Then what do you think of Mu Qing?" Seeing Hengyu's silence, Zheng Shi asked again.
Hengyu stretched out his hand to catch the silver moonlight and said with a smile: "I may die in the hands of people like Mu Qing in the future."
Zheng Shi frowned.
Heng Yu said with a smile: "He is a person who values love and justice, but unfortunately he has a radical personality and cannot be a fellow traveler with us."
Zheng Shi's expression relaxed slightly, and then he asked something he still couldn't believe: "Is his strength really comparable to that of White Tiger?"
Heng Yu shook his head and said, "When I saw him, he and Bai Hu and the others were in a confrontation, but they were far from fighting."
When Heng Yu saw Zheng Shi wanting to speak, he guessed what he was going to say and asked first, "Do you know the details of that night?"
"Master just told me the general situation of the whole thing." Zheng Shi's heart moved, "What did you know from Zhang Lu?"
In any case, Zheng Shi didn't believe that Mu Qing could grow so fast. He always felt that there was a lack of information that really touched the core. "Could he be a pawn thrown by Jiang Shangxiu?"
"You asked two questions." Heng Yu lost his composure when he saw Zheng Shi. He re-evaluated the hostile relationship between him and Mu Qing, then laughed at himself and said: "It was Mr. Qinglong who found me, my adoptive father... …He didn’t even tell me about it.”
"Maybe it's not that I still have the status of an adopted son, so it's not my turn to save Murong Xiu Ming."
"As for the chess pieces, huh... in their eyes, I am just a chess piece. I can move wherever the chess player wants me to. Mu Qing? I don't look like a chess piece."
Zheng Shi had some impatience on his face. Ever since he met the guy in front of him, Zheng Shi couldn't stand his look.
If you, Hengyu, were really willing to be Murong Xiuming's whetstone and stepping stone, why did you take the initiative to befriend me in the first place?
"Then when we see him this time, can we see his level of cultivation?" Zheng Shi asked without any hope.
Heng Yu said: "This person once leaked a trace of his aura in the end, and he was only at the second or third level. However, the true strength is not completely linked to the realm, not to mention that there is no life or death. That is what he just wants people to see. .”
Zheng Shi nodded and said, "In the news Master gave me, it was Mu Qing who was saved by Jiang Shangxiu. Could it be that Jiang Shangxiu deliberately weakened his existence?"
Heng Yu said: "You want to say that it might actually be a fight between Jiang Shangxiu and Bai Hu?"
Zheng Shi nodded: "Is it impossible?"
Hengyu was silent for a moment, remembering the scene when everyone surrounded Mu Qing in the courtyard, and Mu Qing was the enemy of everyone, "Mu Qing treats everyone in Hidden Valley as enemies, and real masters like Qinglong Baihu also I’m not looking down on him at all, which should explain some of your doubts.”
Zheng Shi said in disbelief: "Jiang Shangxiu was standing with him at that time? Can he alone have the ability to become their enemy?"
"Why not courage?" Hengyu has always had an excellent memory and keen vision. At this time, he recalled Jiang Shangxiu's position at that time and affirmed: "Several people surrounded Mu Qing and forced him to swallow the Jie Dao Pill. Jiang Shangxiu also He occupies a corner, but Jiang Shangxiu’s stance is loose, presumably leaving a way out for Mu Qing.”
Zheng Shi remained silent, secretly digesting the news brought by Hengyu. Hengyu sighed and said regretfully: "On the way to see him, I sincerely thought about making friends with this person, and even supported him as my leader for a long time in the future. .”
Zheng Shi raised his head and looked at Heng Yu, and suddenly smiled sarcastically and said, "Indeed, not everyone can be treated favorably by my senior brother."
Heng Yu seemed not to see the coldness and suspicion in Zheng Shi's eyes, and continued: "But Mu Qing is too dazzling. No matter what he relies on, whether his strength can be compared with Bai Hu's, but I If I walk with him, I will definitely die first."
"How do you say it?" Zheng Shi said with some expectation. Heng Yu talked too much, and his eyesight was always among the best among the people he knew.
"He has no sense of belonging to Hidden Valley."
"This is a very... normal thing."
"But he made no secret of the idea?"
"At least Jiang Shangxiu and Baihu don't seem to care about this."
Hengyu nodded and said: "Mu Qing is not a calm person who can make plans, and in the overall situation of Hidden Valley, if he does not die, he will definitely be used by Jiang Shangxiu and his group to deal with his adoptive father and the others. arms."
Zheng Shi was silent for a long time, "If Bai Hu and Qing Long view Mu Qing in the same way as Jiang Shangxiu, then Mu Qing will actually have a hard time dying."
Heng Yu looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation and asked, "You must have known about the plan if you caught Bai Jianwen and the others."
Zheng Shi nodded, Heng Yu frowned and smiled, and said more and more wantonly: "The plan is to directly name it 'Biantian'. Before changing the sky of the Hibiscus Dynasty, shouldn't we first change the sky of our Hidden Valley?"
Zheng Shi suddenly glared at Hengyu, and Hengyu sighed, "But we are not strong enough, and we don't have the conditions like Murong Xiuming."
After Heng Yu woke up for a moment, Zheng Shi had a clearer understanding of a certain rumor that had been raging in Hidden Valley recently.
The young and strong factions such as Jiang Shangxiu and Bai Hu, and the conservative older generation such as Murong Yin and Jiang Xingyuan. No matter what calculations or personal grudges they had before, under the general trend, they are either voluntary and active or silent and passive. Because of their different natural attributes, they are divided into Between the two camps, this plan to "change the sky" could reach the ears of Zheng Shi and others, which proved that the older generation's control over Hidden Valley was no longer as good as before.
In order for the plan to change the sky to be carried out smoothly, the young and strong factions are bound to compete for more say. How will the two camps compete?
Heng Yu said: "No matter what Mu Qing thinks, he has become the vanguard of the Youth and Strong Sect. This is an opportunity for us."
Zheng Shi thought for a long time, but still did not speak easily.
"Your master may still hesitate, but I'm afraid my adoptive father has already thought about it."
"What do you mean?"
"Kill Mu Qing."
Zheng Shi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated by half a beat. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Heng Yu said would become possible. "Zhang Lu did this to warn them of the Young Strong Sect? But who will be the vanguard?"
"Of course it's not you and me." Heng Yu smiled gently and said with bright eyes: "Even my adoptive father and the others never thought about who would be the vanguard. Mu Qing would fall into such a situation. That was because he himself was in the game. There is no self-knowledge.”
Zheng Shi said: "Then where is our opportunity? And..."
"Are you more optimistic about Jiang Shangxiu and the others?" Hengyu smiled knowingly, and naturally guessed the unfinished meaning of Zheng Shi's words.
Having said that, Zheng Shi answered naturally: "The top strength of Hidden Valley represented by the five hidden kills. If the Green Dragon and White Tiger all made their attitude clear later, wouldn't they have an advantage?"
Hengyu smiled, but did not say who he was more optimistic about, and said, "We can connect the two parties and get rid of Mu Qing first."
"Fool on the wall?" Zheng Shi frowned. He had already thought of joining Jiang Shangxiu and the others after getting rid of Mu Qing.
Heng Yu laughed and looked at the black-robed law enforcers who were patrolling here. His voice gradually lowered: "They are our real opportunities. Opportunities are always in our own hands."
Zheng Shi walked out of the shadows. Someone from the law enforcement team saw him, hesitated, and quickly ran over.
Through the moonlight, Zheng Shi could even see the respect on their faces. Looking at these people, who were the last to hear even the wind, Zheng Shi gradually understood what Heng Yu was talking about, and for a while, he felt a sense of pride in his heart. .
