In the east of the city, on the street where the sun was bright and the wind was clear, but there were few pedestrians, several members of the White Tiger team caught up with the tall man in front of them with helpless expressions.
"Commander Dugu, this matter..." Yin Yi said the words, but he didn't know how to persuade him. Yin Er, who was on the side, said calmly: "Mu Qing has not acted without permission once or twice without us."
Dugu Wei looked at the street scenes on both sides with an indifferent expression, nodded and said: "I came to see her today not to discuss this kind of thing. Didn't you tell her that I would come to see her?"
Yin Yi also regained his composure and said: "Mu Qing was seriously injured. Lord Suzaku said he will stay there for the next few days."
Dugu Wei frowned and snorted coldly: "Suzaku has always protected him...but this is all a trivial matter. Nowadays, the City Lord's Mansion is making frequent moves, and I have only seen her once!"
As Bai Hao's methods of genocide become more and more violent and frequent, the ordinary people of Suzaku City, who are all feeling the change of weather, although they probably know that the butcher's knife will not fall on their necks, have become a little more cautious about saving their lives, unless necessary. Minimize going out as much as possible.
As one of the people who contributed to this situation and one of Hidden Valley's current talkers in Suzaku City, Dugu Wei has been in Suzaku City for half a decade, but as time goes by, he still has no idea about the impending storm. Feeling depressed.
His mood had already reached the extreme level of depression because of another thing - except for the night when he came to Suzaku City, in the following days, his contact with Suzaku had to rely on the White Tiger Team next to him.
Duguwei asked himself, why did he and Ah Jing become so estranged?
After failing to see Murong Jing again, Dugu Wei no longer complained about the empty street. After stopping, he said directly: "You must know where Mu Qing is now, take me there!"
…
After autumn comes, the grape trellis leading to the pavilion is already full of fruits, and the rest of the place is also a wild scene of green and yellow.
In the pavilion, a crimson mask lay quietly beside the stone table. A white and slender jade hand stretched out to twist a grape next to it. Murong Jing sighed happily and looked at the quiet afternoon outside the pavilion. Jin Jin said: "It's better for you to be comfortable here."
Opposite the stone table, Mu Qing, who was cross-legged and closed, opened his eyes. A wisp of purple energy penetrated his mouth and nose. He looked at Murong Jing who was becoming more and more casual in front of him, and said helplessly: "You are avoiding me like this. It will make them misunderstand even more.”
"What?" Murong Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "So what if there is a misunderstanding? I just want to see what they will say in the end, and then we can settle the score together!"
When she spoke, her fingers moved quickly, and she peeled off a piece of crystal fruit flesh and handed it to Mu Qing's mouth. Mu Qing's upper body slightly retreated, and he looked down with his eyebrows. He pinched a piece of green flesh with his pink fingertips stained with juice. Shengjin, Mu Qing pretended to be upset and said: "You are Suzaku, one of the five people who secretly killed Suzaku."
Murong Jing withdrew her hand with a normal expression and sneered: "You also know who I am. If I hadn't done it for the sake of the breath-taking method, would you have been able to enjoy this?"
"I don't think it's enjoyment..." Mu Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, but said seriously: "There is new news from Mrs. Wang. Bai Hao has been suppressing it for so long. What he needs to do next may be critical. This Have you told them about this matter?"
Murong Jing nodded and said: "Isn't it the possible grand formation? I went to see it two days ago. If these five places in the outer city are connected, this grand formation can be regarded as the largest formation I have seen so far. The law completely contains the inner city.”
Murong Jing threw the fruit pulp in her hand to the outside of the pavilion and said casually: "I even wrote to Xuanwu specifically to ask, this kind of formation is not the core area of the ten major families. If you want to activate the big formation, you can't gather it at all. There is enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
Mu Qing did not look relaxed, but continued to ask: "The energy required to activate this formation will indeed be very large, but what if this formation can rely on other things to make up for the lack of spiritual energy?"
Mu Qing did not forget that the Blood Demon Array played an absolute role in Bai Hao's rapid advance. This evil array relied on the power of the underground flame veins to smelt people's blood essence.
Murong Jing was silent for a moment this time, and then she composed her words and said, "I know you want to talk about the Blood Demon Array, but if the formation this time is similar to the Blood Demon Array, let alone this heaven and earth formation, where can you borrow it from? The power is the amount of blood that needs to be consumed, and I'm afraid it won't be just that little."
So a little?
Mu Qing felt the pause in Murong Jing's words, and looked at her with a calm expression and a sharp eyebrow.
Murong Jing couldn't stand the expression on his questioning face. She turned her head to admire the golden color of early autumn outside the pavilion. She gritted her teeth slightly and said, "At least one hundred thousand. If this is the case, Xuanwu said that at least one hundred thousand people are required to supply blood. Then do you think he is Bai Hao?" Can you do it even if you kill crazy people?"
"I just wrote to Xuanwu about this matter and didn't tell Yinyi and the others."
Mu Qing frowned slightly, and quickly figured out the key. If Bai Hao was really crazy and drove his army to massacre the people, I'm afraid Hidden Valley wouldn't have to do anything at all. The city lord's mansion would collapse, and Hidden Valley would just sit back and enjoy the results. Could it be that Will they stop Bai Hao's actions?
Thinking like this, the pavilion suddenly fell silent.
Murong Jing frowned slightly and said, "The probability of this happening is too low, but I'm thinking of another possibility."
Murong Jing looked directly at Mu Qing's eyes, and did not avoid them this time. She said seriously: "Because I believe in you, so although I think it's impossible, I don't think it will happen if someone like Bai Hao endures his anger for so long. Waiting for death."
"So I'm wondering if Bai Hao is waiting for us in Hidden Valley to join forces to attack the city lord's palace?"
Mu Qing's sword eyebrows suddenly raised, his eyes bright.
Murong Jing noticed the change in his expression, raised her white chin and said, "You must know that there is a big difference between us cultivators and ordinary people. People with full Qi and blood, such as pure martial artists like Yin Yi, cannot compare with thousands of ordinary people. Question. When the time comes when we kill through the army and get in front of Bai Hao, we might have fallen into some kind of trap by Bai Hao."
Speaking of this, Murong Jing picked up another grape, peeled it and said with a sigh: "So don't think that I am hiding here from you. It's actually because after Dugu came, Hidden Valley started to seek pleasure, and I want to see it again."
"There must be some hiding place..." Mu Qing looked at her increasingly skilful skinning movements and couldn't help but complain, but he had to agree with her statement, "What you said makes sense, but I was thinking about how to Can’t Bai Hao’s arrangement be destroyed in advance? This is feasible after all, right?”
Mu Qing just said that, but Murong Jing's face became serious, "These five places in the outer city have become death places. The higher the realm, the stronger karma will be felt wherever you go. In this case, the formation cannot be moved Taking rash actions will only backfire on you. The reason why Bai Hao is acting more and more unscrupulously now may be because he is waiting for someone to be the first person."
Mu Qing's face looked a little ugly, and Murong smiled quietly and said: "Aren't you accustomed to responding to all changes by staying the same? Why did you change your behavior after encountering a setback once?"
There was even a hint of schadenfreude in Murong Jing's words. Mu Qingjue would have thought coldly at the beginning, but now she understood that Murong Jing was still blaming him for not asking her to act together. Facing the boring meeting alone.
Mu Qing sighed softly, and then said seriously: "Since you mentioned this matter today, you should also understand that there are other people here who are trying to force us to retreat. Tell me consciously that they are the three Murong Xiuming!"
Murong Jing knew how badly Bai Jiahe was hurt, and after seeing the appearance of Huaifenghua and her two fellow seniors, Murong Jing felt a little pity, but what she was thinking about now was Mu Qing's current difficult situation, and she had to He said seriously: "Since there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense."
Mu Qing snorted: "Then they have no evidence and they still claim that we are together."
Murong Jing blinked her eyes and said playfully: "Isn't this the truth?"
Mu Qing was originally preparing to argue with her, but suddenly his brain was short-circuited, but he also understood that Murong Jing's innocent words meant that he was thinking wrong again.
But in this way, Murong Jing's goal was achieved. Mu Qing said softly: "Things should be prioritized. Getting rid of Bai Hao is still the top priority, but I will not let go of the three people who attacked him that night."
Mu Qing looked at her and asked: "When Dugu Wei came here, Hidden Valley had already made his choice. Regardless of whether other people would see it this way, I am sure that the three people who escaped that night were Murong Xiu Ming and the others."
Murong Jing knew Mu Qing's stubbornness, so she sighed in her heart and asked a little boredly: "Then what do you want to say?"
Mu Qing nodded and said: "I will be seriously ill for a day or two. Please don't reveal it. If Murong Xiu Ming is still evil, then he deserves what he deserves."
Mu Qing looked directly at Murong Jing's pretty face and said calmly: "I regard you as a friend."
Murong Jing sneered: "Are you asking me to accompany you to continue acting? Or do you think I will warn a fool like Murong Xiu Ming?"
Mu Qing sighed softly, took the initiative to peel off a piece of fruit pulp, handed it to her and said: "I was afraid that you would think it was good for me and go to warn the other party, but these days, since I have not taken the initiative as my aunt and others thought, Keep a distance from you, and you should also understand that I will leave Hidden Valley sooner or later, but now everything is ahead of schedule."
Murong Jing imitated Mu Qing's move of dodging just now, looked at the fruit pulp Mu Qing handed over, and hummed: "What is this?"
Mu Qing said with rare embarrassment: "I can't be disturbed these days, thank you."
"That's it? You just want to thank me?" Murong Jing stood up from the stone bench with a look of disdain on her face. Mu Qing's arms were slightly stiff and she also stood up a little at a loss.
Murong Jing chuckled, raised her chin and said, "Then go back and continue lying down. I'll take care of it for you."
Mu Qing frowned slightly, but he understood that someone was disturbing him, and nodded gratefully to Murong Jing.
Just when the relationship between a certain man and a certain woman is slowly warming up as the days pass and the quiet atmosphere of early autumn slowly heats up, the Xianweiju Restaurant in the east of the city once again gathers a table of guests who are not all in the same mind.
