Even in the same city, the heavy rain in the east of the city became much lighter when it reached the west of the city.
The sky was green, and the light rain fell on the Qingxi River, not even causing ripples. Just when everything was quiet, the sound of a sculling broke the tranquility first, and then waves of clear ripples appeared on the water. , a building boat sailed out from the hazy mist and rain, revealing a corner of the second-story flower pavilion.
There was a small Wumeng boat on the shore that seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After seeing the large boat, a white paper lantern was hung on the bow and moved closer to the large boat sailing in the middle of the river.
The moment the lights were illuminated, a figure flew directly onto the second-floor guardrail of the building and shouted softly to Wumeng's boat: "Go back."
"Hey, why does this guy look familiar to me?"
The window opened, and the orange-red light and warm fragrance came out. Hengyu turned around and looked at the feminine man leaning against the window. He saw that his eyes were fixed on the awning boat, and he moved away generously. He had already seen the ridiculous scene inside, and after nodding slightly with Zheng Shi who was looking over, he shook his head and said with a smile, "How much wine have you drunk? Aren't you afraid of them telling you?"
"Humph, are you afraid?" Murong Xiuming looked away with a look of waning interest. He roughly shook off a slender jade arm that was wrapped around him, pretending to be hazy, his eyes fell on Heng Yu's face and asked: "What have you been doing these days? Disappeared, where have they gone?”
Hengyu glanced at him and did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at the scene in the flower pavilion.
"You all get down!"
When there was only the aroma of wine and no smell of fat in the flower pavilion, Hengyu sat down generously, faced the scrutinizing gazes of the two people in front of him, drank a few glasses of warm wine, and then said: "I have been running around with shopkeeper Chen these days. We have traveled to many places, and I originally thought that these local clans would be just helpless people, looking at us like snakes and scorpions, but I didn’t expect that there would be some gains.”
He wrote a few surnames on the table with the remaining wine at the bottom of the glass, and said softly: "It turns out that Bai Hao ate meat and wouldn't even let these people take a bite of the soup. This time there seems to be some hope."
Murong Xiuming felt agitated, with a slightly complicated expression in his slightly narrowed eyes. He took the initiative to fill up Hengyu's drink and asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"
He had completely withdrawn from other things these days, looking for flowers and flowers, and only regarded this trip as a recreational trip. When he knew that things were developing for the better, he felt a bit surprised.
After all, he had already been warned by Murong Yin before coming here. Even if Hidden Valley could barely occupy Suzaku City, it would not be able to hold it! What's more, he already knew from the White Tiger Group that Baidi City had sent experts...
Hengyu shook his head and laughed: "They have not seen the actual benefits, nor have they seen the real defeat of the City Lord's Mansion. They would not have leaned on us so quickly, but by chance, Shopkeeper Chen and I went to visit this place. When we were together, the house next door to him was being ransacked, and I heard that the reason was because he was in cahoots with us in Hidden Valley."
The two people at the wine table looked at each other in confusion, and Zheng Shi said with confusion on his face: "I heard that Bai Hao has quite a lot of tricks in the city. How could it be like this?"
Heng Yu lowered his eyes slightly, as if recalling the bloody lights he had encountered by chance before, and sighed softly: "It is better for two parties to be enemies, and it is better to be an enemy on the sidelines than to become enemies. I thought he must be suppressing one party and win over the other, but in the end Judging from the information collected in the past few days, he only wants to rely on iron and blood tactics to intimidate, and there are almost no gentle methods."
boom--
Murong Xiuming slapped his palm on the table and laughed loudly: "It seems that he has a false reputation. He was said to be a tycoon before, but he never met our Hidden Valley."
Hengyu nodded: "It can indeed be explained this way. After all, how could the enemies he encountered before exist in the mortal stage? People always make mistakes under pressure. He put heavy pressure on those families like this, On the contrary, it saved me and Shopkeeper Chen a lot of talking in the past two days."
When Heng Yu was talking, he noticed that Murong Xiuming and Zheng Shi had looked at each other. After thinking about it, he said straight to the point: "The head of the Xie family we went to last night was very polite to us. Later, shopkeeper Chen found out through insinuations. The two consecutive chaos in the inner city are all related to our Hidden Valley."
Murong Xiu Ming suddenly raised his head and drank a glass of wine. Zheng Shi, who was beside him, seemed very calm at this time. He rubbed the rim of the glass and said, "Both times it was Mu Qing and the others."
Hengyu nodded. In fact, he had already made a guess in his mind. However, in addition to following Chen Zhuo these days, he also had other arrangements for the rest of his time. He did not have the energy to verify anything. At this time, he seized the opportunity and asked: " What do they gain?”
Murong Xiuming smiled coldly and said: "It's just a mess of things, what else can you gain."
Heng Yu's lips curled up slightly and he looked at Zheng Shi.
Zheng Shi said: "For the first time, they didn't tell anyone that they were ambushed by a master, but they didn't see the master's true face."
Murong Xiuming answered: "This is true. This second time, Suzaku went with them, but was injured by this master. He is still recovering from his injuries at Mu Qing's side."
At the end of the sentence, Murong Xiu Ming's tone became a bit sinister.
Hengyu raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of master? So powerful? I heard that there is a large formation underground under the city lord's palace. Could it be that he was injured by the large formation?"
Zheng Shi shook his head and smiled: "These days, people from the White Tiger Group have come to see them countless times, but they have all been rejected on the pretext of retreat for healing. It can be said that apart from their clients, we know very little about them."
Murong Xiu Ming's sinister and handsome face was full of malicious speculations, and he whispered: "I learned from my father that old lady Zhuque has been secretly in love with my brother-in-law all these years, but in recent times, she The group of people who obviously protect the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley may have fallen in love with each other and have fallen in love with each other.”
"Isn't she just a pretty girl? She's been recovering from her injuries for so many days? I think she must have had an affair with that kid Mu Qing. Maybe she practices together every day, and when she's tired, she just thinks about how to get out of the Hidden Valley."
Hengyu and Zheng Shi looked at each other. When their eyes met, they could see some disdain in each other's eyes, but neither of them showed it.
Seeing that Murong Xiuming had vented his emotions, Hengyu took out a letter wrapped in brown paper from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Murong Xiuming, and said calmly: "Xie Xiu, the eldest son of the Xie family, is now Fenxi. The second in command, this letter was given to me by him.”
"Burn your breath?" Murong Xiu Ming muttered once before reaching out and taking out the letter and unfolding it.
Less than half a stick of incense, Murong Xiuming slapped the letter on the table with a loud bang, causing some wine to spill on it. He quickly picked up the letter and said with a cold face: "I see, that's it! No wonder this kid I am so concerned about Suzaku City, so it turns out there is such a thing."
There was a twinkle in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Send this letter back to Hidden Valley later. I think this kid can still run around for a few days."
After Zheng Shi took the letter from Murong Xiuming and read it, his face became very excited: "They have collected more information than us. From the looks of it, are they planning to attack Mu Qing?"
Heng Yu had different opinions, shook his head and said: "Xie Xiu also tried to test my relationship with Mu Qing? He did not give this letter to Shopkeeper Chen. I don't know if he knew anything. He handed it to me in private. Gave it to me."
"Hmph~ So what if I use it?" Murong Xiu Ming didn't care. He took back the letter from Zheng Shi and put it away seriously: "As long as these people in Hidden Valley know about Mu Qing's life experience, they will never let him stay here again. Here, we only have Bai Jianwen, can he be controlled? "
Zheng Shi glanced slightly at Murong Xiuming, swept his eyes, and saw that Hengyu's face was slightly complicated, and said, "I think Xiuming is right. Do you have any other discoveries?"
Hengyu put away the inappropriate emotions in his heart and pondered: "The content of the letter is very clear. Bai Hao wants to spread Mu Qing's life experience to make Hidden Valley change his generals. In a sense, Mu Qing... … It put a lot of pressure on him.”
"Furthermore, I suspect that Xie Xiu didn't hand it over to Shopkeeper Chen because he guessed that Shopkeeper Chen might have concealed the matter first."
"So what do you want to say?" Murong Xiu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone was cold.
Hengyu did not worry about his emotions, raised his eyes and said bluntly: "So, I am wondering whether Mu Qing's life experience should be revealed at this time. If we really want to take Suzaku City, should we..."
Murong Xiu Ming interrupted him directly: "You think of him too well! Don't forget that not only are the people from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley around him now, but even that girl Suzaku also has a good impression of him."
Zheng Shi answered coldly: "If that time comes, those women will probably push him up, so it's best to stop him at this time."
Murong Xiu Ming deeply agreed: "So our top priority is to get this kid out of Suzaku City. Then let that kid Bai Jianwen be the city lord. Doesn't he have to listen to us in everything?"
"Okay." Heng Yu looked calm and glanced at the two of them lightly.
Murong Xiu Ming was deeply influenced by Murong Yin's words and deeds on weekdays. It was not bad to see what he saw. However, after he lost one battle in front of Mu Qing, his thinking has been completely affected by paranoia and jealousy, and he has not learned anything. Murong Yin's ability to control countless powerful people but still be able to deal with them with ease.
You know, in the final analysis, Hidden Valley is still the Hidden Valley of his Murong family. When competing with Mu Qing, it is easy to win, but if he loses again, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to defeat Mu Qing in a confrontation with Mu Qing in his lifetime.
And Zheng Shi... He kept silent, but often he really wanted to put Mu Qing into quagmire or even death.
When Hengyu thought of this, his heart moved and he asked, "What about me? He saved Wu Xia and Uncle Li. If I do this, wouldn't I be repaying kindness with enmity?"
However, Murong Xiuming did not give him a chance to silently reflect on himself. He saw Murong Xiuming sitting upright, adding glasses of wine to the two of them, and said with a chuckle: "Hengyu is actually right, Mu Qing, this pretty boy, is in the eyes of Baihu and the others. , can be regarded as the best choice to play the vanguard, so just relying on his life experience, I’m afraid I can’t let him leave here. I came up with a good idea, which will definitely make this kid walk around without food.”
