"What is now is not yesterday!"
In the private room on the second floor of Xianweiju with a window facing the street, Murong Xiuming sighed and looked away.
It's late now, and the early autumn sunshine is warm but not arrogant. It's a good weather to go out and meet friends. But not only are they the only guests in the box at Xianwei Restaurant, but even the streets where people can be seen coming and going in the past are deserted. a bit.
Who among you is unaware of the reason?
"Under the pressure of Hidden Valley, the city lord's palace started killing people rashly, and the people were panicked. This can exactly illustrate the wantonness of a figure like the young master now."
Seeing that there was no sound at the table, Zhang Shanshan, who was pressing Bai Jiwen's thigh tightly, responded with a squawk, which attracted everyone at the table to look over.
Murong Xiu Ming chuckled softly: "Is Miss Shanshan questioning me on Jianwen's behalf?"
Zhang Shanshan quickly lowered her head and said, "Young Master misunderstood."
Murong Xiuming's eyes swept across Zhang Shanshan's charming face and landed on Bai Jianwen. He sighed softly: "Jianwen has been keeping his head down and silent since he sat down. Isn't there anything you want to ask?"
Heng Yu and Zheng Shi, who were moving chopsticks on the other side, also stopped at the same time. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Zhang Shanshan's face gradually changed. She was about to excuse Bai Jianwen, but Bai Jianwen suddenly stood up and reached out to overturn the cup in front of him. Pan, glared at Murong Xiu Ming and said: "Is it you?"
Zhang Shanshan looked pale and looked aside for help. Zheng Shi and Heng Yu seemed to have seen nothing and remained silent.
While feeling sad in her heart, she stepped forward and pulled Bai Jianwen to apologize to Murong Xiu Ming.
"Get away!" When Bai Jianwen saw it was her, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he waved her away with all his strength.
Murong Xiu Ming's eyes were grim, and he reached out to wipe the drink from his face. At this moment, the calmness he had shown since he sat down was completely replaced by gloomy anger.
What Zhang Shanshan said was absolutely right. His status was here, and he was a dandy who acted arbitrarily. When he was given the steps and Bai Jianwen refused to step down, the first thought that came to his mind was to kill him with one palm. This useless thing in front of him dared to lose his temper with him.
You know, there is only one Mu Qing in this world.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The sound of drinks and vegetable juices dripping from the edge of the table to the floor was clearly audible at this moment. Bai Jianwen's chest felt suffocated after making this move, but he also felt frustrated. He gritted his teeth and continued to hiss: "My sister almost died. Yes! There were three people who attacked me that night!"
Hengyu frowned slightly and said in a solemn voice: "Jianwen, you have to pay attention to evidence when it comes to rebellion. Just because there are three people, it would be too arbitrary and even ignorant to blame us."
Zheng Shi also nodded slightly. Just when they both thought that today's topic would be based on this, Murong Xiuming, who had discussed it well in advance, suddenly sneered: "You are right, it's us."
Bai Jianwen's face turned pale, but because the breath he had been holding in his chest surged to the top of his head, his face turned red in an instant. He leaned on the table regardless of the water, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I knew it, I knew it, because of that day, because of that day You also asked my sister about their movements."
Zheng Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Bai Jianwen with murderous intent for the first time. Zhang Shanshan beside him had already fallen helplessly into his seat, hoping that she would not be affected.
Murong Xiuming regained his composure and leaned back on the chair meaningfully. When Bai Jianwen's angry voice gradually subsided, he sneered and said with a sneer: "I can even let you go directly, and you can put you and us together." Tell them openly about your contact.”
"You think I don't dare?" Bai Jianwen's chest was filled with guilt for his sister and regret for being involved with them, and he was about to leave the box after hearing this.
Zhang Shanshan, who was closest to him, quickly grabbed him and said urgently: "Jianwen, don't be stupid. If your sister really finds out, what will she think of you? I'm afraid even the master will be very disappointed in you."
Bai Jianwen's neck stiffened. Zhang Shanshan's words hit home. For Bai Jianwen, the best people in the world for him were Huai Cao Shi and Bai Jiahe. But when he thought about meeting Huai Cao Shi's disappointed eyes in the future, his whole body... The energy and energy that he had finally raised quickly fell to the bottom. He was pulled by Zhang Shanshan to sit down again, but he was also confused and unknown.
"That's right." Murong Xiuming witnessed a person's depression with his own eyes. He felt that he had learned some of Murong Yin's essence from the way he manipulated people just now, and his whole person became much calmer. He even asked Zhang Shanshan to change Bai Jianwen's new one. He filled his glass with wine himself.
"Try it, this drink is the signature of this store."
Bai Jianwen felt mixed emotions in his heart. He numbly picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. He said, "What do you want me to do? If you want to hurt my sister, then kill her first."
Murong Xiu Ming raised his head and sighed softly, and put on a sincere expression that had been misunderstood: "Jianwen, you are still too impatient. I also had a problem just now. If I wasn't angry, I wouldn't have said that on purpose. Don't you believe me? , Don’t you still believe that Hengyu, your sister’s serious injury in a sneak attack has absolutely nothing to do with the three of us!”
At this time, even Zhang Shanshan, who had been unable to sit still, quietly glanced at Murong Xiu Ming, full of doubts. To be honest, she didn't believe that these three people were not involved in what happened that night.
But based on her ability to observe words and emotions, it seemed that Murong Xiu Ming was not faking it, and the misunderstood emotion in his tone was definitely on point.
Bai Jianwen slowly turned his head to look at Heng Yu.
Hengyu felt helpless and just pursed his lips and smiled and nodded: "Jianwen, it is true that your sister's injury was not our fault. Haven't you asked about what happened that night these days?"
Even if Heng Yu didn't mind Murong Xiu Ming's cleverness, he could only cover for him now. Just as they were about to discuss it, the three of them injured Ning Chu, while Bai Jiahe was probably injured by the expert from Baidi City. s attack.
Bai Jianwen's eyes moved slightly and he straightened up a little. Although he still doubted the three people sitting in his heart, he reluctantly said seriously: "Then why did you call me today?"
Murong Xiuming carefully took out a small cold jade box from his sleeves and placed it on the clean table in front of Bai Jianwen. He raised his chin, looked at it and said leisurely: "I heard that your sister has injured her foundation. This stone is based on the earth." The golden elixir refined from the spiritual root as the main medicine will definitely make her get better immediately."
"This..." Bai Jianwen's hand was faster than the doubts in his heart, but when he was about to touch the cold jade box, he retracted, shook his head and refused: "My sister has the master of the valley, her uncle, and the others to treat her, so I don't need to spend money on it. .”
Murong Xiu Ming smiled lightly as if he was confident: "Since the three of us promised you to be the Lord of Suzaku City that day, we will never do anything to embarrass you. This elixir is a third-turn golden elixir, huh? ...You probably don’t know these things. If you are worried, you can take this pill and ask someone who knows.”
Bai Jianwen subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Shanshan beside him. Seeing Zhang Shanshan staring directly at the cold jade box, he hesitated for a while, and finally put away the elixir, nodded to Murong Xiuming and said: "If my sister's injury is completely When things get better, I will hold a banquet here to apologize to the young master."
Bai Jianwen glanced at the messy table in front of him and immediately left the box without saying a word.
When he saw Bai Jianwen's figure appearing on the street downstairs, Murong Xiuming retracted his gaze from the window and drank to himself triumphantly: "This plan has been completed by 30%."
Hengyu was silent for a moment, then looked directly at him and asked, "What kind of elixir is that? Why do you think it will eventually reach Lord Suzaku's hands."
"And she will take the initiative to take it." Zheng Shi on the side also asked.
Murong Xiuming looked at the two people who seemed to be asking for the truth, tried to change the subject and said with a smile: "You just need to know that I just want to deal with Mu Qing. Bai Jianwen can even suspect the three of us. Mu Qing Maybe it’s been confirmed that it’s us.”
"It has come to this point because you are fighting a battle of wills..." Hengyu cursed in his heart. According to his opinion, among the three of them, Zheng Shi's hostility towards Mu Qing because of past grudges can even be said to be murderous intent. The strongest, so he deliberately provoked Murong Xiu Ming to compete with Mu Qing in normal times.
If he were Murong Xiu Ming, he would only take the initiative to create opportunities and try to repair the relationship with Mu Qing...
The more Hengyu thought about it, a beautiful image popped up in the depths of his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a little more guilty and apologetic towards Mu Qing.
Zheng Shi glanced at Heng Yu strangely, and had to take the initiative to return to the topic: "This is something that has been determined for a long time. Mu Qing will always be a threat to us if he is not dead, but why do you think that Bai Jianwen has This elixir will eventually cause Commander Dugu and Mu Qing to fight to the death."
Murong Xiuming chuckled and said: "That old boy Dugu Wei has always secretly liked that old lady Zhuque. Oh, this is not even secret. Maybe only that old boy has hidden it well for himself."
Heng Yu, who had come back to his senses, became more lively when he heard this, and said in deep thought: "If you provoke it out of jealousy, it is not impossible, but the key point is that Commander Dugu actually has a lot of rules in doing things. Even if he is extremely annoying, Mu Qing will never target Mu Qing before the city lord's mansion is peaceful."
When Hengyu said this, his heart moved, and his brows furrowed further and further, "It would not be impossible if the relationship between Mu Qing and Lord Suzaku had made rapid progress from rumors to reality before this. Could it be that the medicine was an aphrodisiac?"
When Hengyu said this, he smiled to himself, shook his head and rejected the idea, raised his face to look at Hengyu, and asked the most crucial question: "Why is this elixir so important to Master Suzaku?"
Murong Xiuming was already a little more cautious about Hengyu's wisdom. After hearing this, he still did not answer the question directly. He nodded and said: "If Hengyu really wants to know, everything will be understood when you break through the spiritual realm."
Hengyu frowned suddenly and had a vague guess.
…
On the other side, in a house in Changlefang in the inner city.
Bai Hao stood at the study window, watching the afternoon sun shining on the ground. It was rare to feel the slightest breath of nature besides the bloody atmosphere, and his expression became much calmer and more natural. However, when he spoke, the listeners only felt endless. Bloody face.
"Since Xiong San is related to this Xiong family, let him pick five people."
Geshan lowered his head and remained silent, without asking what to do with the remaining people. He was about to exit with his sword mottled with new and old blood stains, but was stopped by Bai Hao again.
When Bai Hao turned around, his left sleeve was empty, and his whole complexion seemed to be much stronger than before, "Then is the whereabouts of Murong Xiuming?"
Ge Shan immediately replied: "Feng Xiye found this person twice near Xianwei Residence in the east of the city. Does the city lord want to capture this person?"
Ge Shan raised his head, his gaze fell on Bai Hao's face and did not move away.
When the eyes of Bai Hao and his met, it seemed that both parties knew what was in their hearts, but they instantly returned from temptation to a business-like atmosphere, "Do you think if you catch this person and kill him in front of the people in Hidden Valley, Murong Is that old guy going crazy?"
Ge Shan pondered: "Why doesn't the city lord use this person to force him to retreat to the Hermit Valley?"
"What you actually want to ask is why you killed him, right?" Bai Hao turned around and continued to look at the sunshine outside the courtyard. He said in a leisurely manner: "I don't care what price you pay, just bring this man to me." .”
