After leaving Bai Hao, Xing Fei almost didn't stop for a moment. After sorting out the list of people to visit for condolences the next day, he even took the time to visit Luo Kai, who was seriously poisoned.
"Hey, brother, do you think Luo Kai did this on purpose?"
Yan Qing took off his helmet and held it in his arms. Thinking of the news he heard tonight, he sneered: "Whether it's Andingfang or the City Lord's Mansion, this guy is always pretending to be a coward."
Xing Fei glared at Yan Qing and reminded: "Luo Kai's ability is recognized by the city lord. As a deputy commander of the same level as him, you should not say these words again."
Yan Qing's face was full of sarcasm: "I understand what the city lord means. Isn't it just that the upper echelons of the Guards are controlled by our brothers? This Luo Kai has good strength, but he is not the material to lead the army. Because he escaped from the battle, over there in Andingfang Too many brothers have been sacrificed.”
"Not bad..." Xing Fei stood still, his eyes narrowed, and his tone was really weird.
Luo Kai smiled and said: "Of course, as they are both second-grade, you and him are definitely incomparable."
Xing Fei felt mixed emotions in his heart and smiled bitterly: "Do you know how old that kid is? The city lord told me personally that that kid is only eighteen years old..."
"hiss--"
"No way? You have such strength at the age of eighteen, isn't that incredible?" Everyone gasped, Yan Qing shook his head, his face full of disbelief.
It was already midnight, the last moment before dawn, and the streets in Changlefang were much deserted. Xing Fei breathed in the cool air, frowned, turned around and looked at the brothers behind him, and said with a smile: "The age of the enemy It has never been something we as soldiers should consider, but they are very strong, are you afraid?"
There was silence in the air for a moment, no one expected Xing Fei to suddenly ask this question.
Although everyone knows that this is a major crisis in Suzaku City, everyone has been busy these days and is too tired to subconsciously avoid thinking about this problem.
Yan Qing looked around and curled his lips and said: "You must be afraid. We all know that this is a big crisis for our Suzaku City, but we are so busy these days that we have no time to think about these issues. Brother, yes What did the city lord say to you? Who is the master who appeared at Andingfang tonight?"
At this point, the stagnant expressions among everyone also became vivid, and someone laughed and said: "If our brothers do not need to sacrifice their lives to fill the gap in strength, and there are experts to restrain them, we have the advantage of favorable geographical location and people. Don’t worry too much.”
Xing Fei sighed secretly. As the lord of a city, Bai Hao actually didn't care how many sacrifices there would be on some fundamental issues. With such a superior mentality, he couldn't distinguish between right and wrong for the time being. He shook his head and said, "I just hope If we can save a few people, I have a hunch that next time, the next time it will probably not end as hastily as these few times."
"Brother said that there will be results next time?" Yan Qing widened his eyes and didn't believe it.
Xing Feiyuan said not far away, looking at a gap in the sky to the south, his shoulders relaxed: "It's almost dawn, where are you going to rest?"
Yan Qing looked around and suggested: "The second brother's current residence is here. I have been there once."
Reminded by Yan Qing, Xing Fei frowned and looked around: "Have you encountered Geshan tonight?"
"Second brother is now the boss of Fenxi. They are gathering intelligence. He didn't participate in tonight's operation."
Things are so big tonight. Xing Fei has never seen Geshan from the beginning to now. He doesn't believe that Geshan will miss such lively activities when he arrives at Fenxi. He said in a deep voice: "Yan Qing will lead the way and go to Geshan to have a look." .”
…
…
In a house in the east of the city, there was only a faint light left in a secret room.
Holding a basin of water, Huaifenghua gently walked into the secret room. When she looked at the futon, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Half an hour has passed, and the two people on the futon haven't spoken a word.
At this time, Wang Yeqing's top had been taken off, and the tight corset could not hide her proud figure. Huai Fenghua, with a heavy heart, just swept it past and landed on her smooth and white shoulders.
Mu Qing sat cross-legged behind Wang Yeqing, and a pair of palms fell firmly on her back. Golden ripples visible to the naked eye continued to enter Mu Qing's arms through the contact between the two.
When Huaifenghua saw Mu Qing's eyes were tightly closed and her eyebrows were beating more and more frequently, she opened her mouth but still didn't dare to ask. After putting down the basin, she stood quietly in the room with her eyes firmly fixed. fell on the two of them.
"Well--"
Time will become extremely long while waiting. Huaifenghua heard Wang Yeqing groan in pain in a trance, and quickly looked at Mu Qing's arms, only to find that the golden ripples from before were already hidden in the bodies of the two of them.
Worried, she turned on her pupil technique and looked over, but she groaned softly due to the sting. She felt that she was looking directly at the rising sun.
At this moment, there was a ball of golden light the size of a fist in Mu Qing's Dantian Qi Palace, rising little by little toward the top of his head along his meridians.
Huaifenghua held her breath and gently approached Mu Qing, staring at the movement of the golden light in Mu Qing's body with bright eyes. When the golden light rose to the Shenting acupoint, it suddenly quickly collapsed and turned into a light spot the size of a grain of grain. , and suddenly disappeared.
Mu Qing's brows relaxed slightly and he opened his eyes at this time.
Huaifenghua breathed a long sigh of relief and asked quickly: "How are you and Sister Wang doing?"
When Mu Qing retracted the arm that was placed on Wang Yeqing's back, Wang Yeqing fell backwards. Mu Qing quickly hugged Wang Yeqing gently in his arms and said tiredly: "The attack of luck will cause very little damage to the physical body, but it will do little damage to the body. The harm done to Ji is really hard to estimate, and I’m afraid we won’t know until Mrs. Wang wakes up.”
Mu Qing said that he was about to pick up Wang Yeqing, but as soon as he stood up, his eyes darkened, he staggered and fell forward. Fortunately, Huai Fenghua kept paying attention to him and saw that something was wrong, so she immediately took it from his hand. Wang Yeqing pressed her fragrant shoulder against his chest.
"What's wrong with you? Is it due to karma or luck?" Wang Yeqing looked anxious, looking at Mu Qing's face close at hand, and spit out bursts of orchid breath on Mu Qing's face.
"Well...it's okay. There is something wrong with the suppressed Karma Fire. Auntie, please take Mrs. Wang down to rest. I can solve it myself."
Mu Qing bit the tip of his tongue. The stimulation of the smell of blood made him sober up in his chaotic thoughts. He simply sat back and crossed his legs.
He shouted in the sea of consciousness: "What's going on? I just did you a favor and you just walked away?"
During this period, the karmic fire in the sea of consciousness was suppressed by Meng Zhang, and as a condition, he followed the method provided by Meng Zhang to extract the luck from Wang Yeqing that did not belong to her.
"You can refine this karmic fire using the method of Nirvana. It will have unexpected benefits for your spiritual consciousness."
Meng Zhang left a sentence in a hurry, and then there was no movement. For the first time, Mu Qing heard some other emotions in his voice. At this time, he didn't think about it in a hurry and raised his eyes to look at Huaifenghua, and saw that she had a serious look on her face. He stared straight at himself, feeling a little warm in his heart. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, it's okay if I say it's okay. It's almost dawn, so auntie, please go get some rest soon."
"Yes." Huaifenghua hugged Wang Yeqing and walked toward the door. She paused and turned around and said, "What happened tonight will definitely continue to ferment. You can't hide it. Here in Hidden Valley, do you want to tell Suzaku."
Only the four of them knew about tonight's actions. Although Huaifenghua always appeared as a gentle relative in front of Mu Qing, she saw the situation clearly and was well aware of the relationship between the parties.
Zhuque had an unreasonable affection for Mu Qing. This was confirmed by Huaifenghua after Xie Henhe took the passage pill. At this time, when she mentioned Zhuque, she was actually tactfully reminding Mu Qing that she could ask him Suzaku asks for help.
Mu Qing muttered: "When Mrs. Wang wakes up, invite her to come with us. We will still gain a lot tonight."
Huaifenghua nodded and smiled: "That's very good."
After Huaifenghua left, she walked straight to the room next to her. After putting Wang Yeqing on the bed, she quietly stood in front of the door of Mu Qing's house. Her eyes were as pure as intoxicating after using the pupil surgery. Liuli's eyes kept falling on Mu Qing, and they didn't move until the sky changed from fish-belly white to bright.
She has been looking at him silently like this for many years since she discovered Mu Qing's life experience.
…
…
Under the same clear sky at dawn, Geshan returned to his residence in the inner city full of thoughts.
He lowered his head and walked through the open door, with a tense expression on his face as he passed several rooms where people were snoring loudly. It wasn't until he reached his own room that he realized there was someone at home.
"Why did you come so late? No, no, it should have been this early."
The door to the room was ajar. When Geshan heard the sound, his tight waist muscles slowly relaxed. He removed his hand from the hilt of the sword, pushed open the door, and looked at the room sitting at the table. The man who had taken off his armor couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I didn't expect you to come to my place to practice, why didn't you say hello in advance."
Xing Fei opened his eyes and looked at Ge Shan who walked into the room calmly. He picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "We were also busy until the end of the day. Yan Qing said that your new house is over here."
"Yes." There was still Xing Fei's armor that he took off on the table. The sword marks on it were very deep. Geshan's eyes quickly swept across the table and he poured himself a cup of cold tea. After drinking it in one gulp, he felt comfortable. He sighed and said, "It seems you didn't keep the green bamboo leaves?"
Xing Fei narrowed his eyes at him, shook his head and said: "Wang Yeqing will definitely die. There are three people tonight, and the other two should be familiar to you."
"Am I not a stranger?" Ge Shan has been exploring the Tianlao tonight. Regarding what happened on the ground, he first got the news from Luo Kai. He noticed the scrutiny in Xing Fei's eyes and remained calm. Changing the subject: "How is Luo Kai?"
"Luo Kai was poisoned in front of the study. There is no fear for his life, but he should not be able to do anything for a while."
"Then he chose this time well. He was watching the wind direction."
Ge Shan looked at Xing Fei who couldn't hide his fatigue. Thinking of what he saw tonight, he felt very sorry for him and advised: "Now that I have left the Guards, I shouldn't be able to point fingers, but since you will appear in front of me, At home, I also want to ask you a few questions."
Xing Fei looked at him quietly.
Geshan picked up the teapot on the table and took a sip without caring about the image. Then he calmed down and said, "Do you have a new answer to the question we have always had?"
Xing Fei's eyes moved when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at the gradually brightening sky outside the door. He looked across the long street and through the city wall, and seemed to see the outer city. He said softly: "I think you are right. As a soldier, you should really protect it." The people of the land below our feet.”
Ge Shan was about to speak, but Xing Fei thought to himself and said: "In the case of Chu Chun, I not only asked my brothers to take risks with me, but I even felt a debt to some of them."
"But seeing the people standing with them destroying everything unscrupulously, I also have the answer. If I really have to choose, a tyrannical city lord can maintain order in this city with a population of millions."
"Wait a minute." Ge Shan had to interrupt Xing Fei to continue speaking. He looked at Xing Fei with a strange expression and said with a wry smile: "What kind of ecstasy soup did the city lord pour into you tonight? To make you stop hating him?"
Xing Fei lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "How could I not hate him? It's just that in the face of a powerful enemy, some of his cruel methods are very effective in maintaining order in this city."
Geshan nodded: "It's true that extraordinary things happen in extraordinary times, but what I want to say is, don't we need a bottom line?"
Xing Fei raised his eyes, looked straight at him and said, "What do you mean?"
Ge Shan shook the empty teapot, muttered a few curses, threw it on the ground, looked at Xing Fei calmly and said, "I went to the Tianlao..."
