After Ge Shan left, Bai Hao stood alone at the window for a long time before going to a small courtyard deep in the house.
The small courtyard was hidden deep in the pavilions and pavilions, and the air was filled with special power. Bai Hao held his breath, but after taking a few steps, he turned around, looked at the old man with a sad face, and smiled: "It seems like it's me. You worry too much, how is your recovery after Eunuch Cao came in?"
Cao Jin said with an indifferent expression: "Have you found Mu Qing?"
Bai Hao didn't answer immediately. Youyou walked into the house, looked around at the furnishings, and said calmly: "So what if I find him? Should you or I go fight with him?"
"The Zhenguo Sword fell into his hands!"
Cao Jin rarely lost his composure, and rushed in with his feet pounding, and said sharply: "He knows the real method of breathing. If he is allowed to control the Zhenguo Sword, then we will die together."
Bai Hao turned around and narrowed his eyes and said: "I want to get rid of him more than you do, but at this time, we can't be in a hurry. I don't know about others, but let's talk about one person we all know, His Majesty's desire for practice. How strong it is, but due to my luck, I have been suppressed by the innate power. If I were Mu Qing, I would never abandon my talents and study the method of breathing."
Bai Hao undoubtedly had a conflict with Cao Jin at this time. He turned his palm over and a cold jade box appeared in his palm and said: "This is a golden elixir that replenishes Qi and blood. Although it cannot help my father-in-law speed up his recovery, I think it can help." Some minor effects.”
Cao Jin calmly put away the elixir, knowing the reason why Bai Hao had been so courteous to him these days, he said without hesitation: "Even if Wuzong is still alive, if he wants to rely on the blood sacrifice formation to achieve the Shura body in one fell swoop, he only has a 60-70% chance of winning. , if you want to make a desperate move, there is nothing I can do.”
"There is no better choice." Bai Hao looked calm and looked towards the direction of the city lord's palace and said leisurely: "I am also in the late extraordinary stage now. In terms of means, I use karma fire as a means of attack. I should go rampant in the southern border, but... "
Bai Hao paused for a moment, not wanting to talk about the person he regarded as the winner. He shook his head and said: "Breaking through from the blood demon body to the Shura body will not only make my body immortal, but I will even have the opportunity to advance to the Tuoren, when the time comes, I will be able to use my strength to overwhelm the southern border. Therefore, if Eunuch Cao can help me increase my chances of winning by one or two points, I swear by my great achievements, if I can wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop, I will form an alliance with you to help each other. .”
Cao Jin sneered and said: "Watching and helping each other? How ambitious are you? Are you really successful? Do you still want to be the emperor of the Mujin Dynasty?"
There were still many unspoken meanings in Bai Hao's words, and many things would not be considered big words until he succeeded, so he fell silent in the face of Cao Jin's scrutinizing gaze.
Cao Jin's eyes moved slightly. When he fell into the quagmire of Suzaku City, he and Bai Hao became people in the same boat. Bai Hao also took this into account, so he became more and more confident recently.
"Does father-in-law think that you will become dangerous after I empty out all the valuable information, so he is reluctant to be completely honest?"
Bai Hao suddenly spoke in silence, and without waiting for Cao Jin to argue, he continued: "Do you think that when I succeed, I will push you, who is useless, to the edge of Hidden Valley?"
Cao Jin's mind settled down, his face became more and more indifferent, and his tone even contained the slightest hint of anger: "Are you not threatening me?"
Bai Hao shook his head and laughed for a while, and finally said with a stern look on his face: "I have asked Geshan to arrest people. By then, the people in Hidden Valley and Mu Qing will all die in the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion. Do you think we can still How much time is left?”
Cao Jin took a breath and said calmly: "If you want to increase the probability of a successful breakthrough, you do have a backup plan..."
…
In the east of the city, in the small courtyard where Mu Qing lives, an uninvited guest is waiting.
Dugu Wei walked on the corridor leading to the garden and could still see the interesting scenery outside Fulan, but he just glanced at it and thought that Murong Jing had lived here with someone for several days, and he turned cold. He walked into the garden with great momentum.
Under the afternoon light, purple and crystal-clear grapes were hanging on the grape trellis. Just looking at them made people feel happy. Dugu Wei looked at the woman with a pair of bright wrists, who was picking the fruits with her head slightly raised. She looked like the stinky face of an iceberg. In an instant, it turned into a vivid clear spring melted by the sun.
"Ajing..."
Dugu Wei hurriedly walked to the pergola, stopped three or four steps away from Murong Jing, opened his mouth, and looked at her without a mask, a little lost.
"Here." Murong Jing deliberately didn't look at him, picked a bunch of grapes and threw them to him, clapped her hands and returned to the pavilion. Dugu Wei held the grapes extremely carefully and followed him to the pavilion. He glanced at the table and saw that there was only one person using it. He was wearing tea sets, frowning slightly, and for a moment he forgot the purpose of his trip.
"Are you here to cause trouble for him?"
"Um?"
Dugu Wei stood in the pavilion, frowning in confusion, and had to react. When he looked up at Murong Jing, Murong Jing had already put on the mask that he was very familiar with again.
Murong Jing sneered: "Before you came to Suzaku City, you must have heard something, right?"
"I know, those are all rumors." Duguwei glanced at the seat facing her, simply walked to the edge of the pavilion with his back to her, looked at the scenery in the courtyard and said leisurely: "If it weren't for your matter, I would have The odds are against coming here because I believe you can do a good job.”
"It's good to know." Murong Jing raised her chin and said in a calmer voice: "Then why did you come to me?"
Dugu Wei was stunned for a while. Murong Jing thought it would be difficult for him to speak in person, so she sat up slightly and said seriously: "If you are causing trouble for Mu Qing, then forget it."
Duguwei felt a little tight in his chest for a moment. He did not think about the person who made him extremely unhappy for the time being. His eyes wandered and he said: "I heard from Yinyi and the others that this person from Baidi City can mobilize the power of luck. Your injury..."
"My injury is nothing serious." Murong Jing replied immediately.
Dugu Wei resisted the urge to talk about someone in front of Murong Jing and nodded: "That's good... but the City Lord's Mansion has been making frequent moves recently, what do you think?"
Finally getting down to business, Murong Jing, who had always thought that Dugu Wei was here to trouble Mu Qing, looked much calmer, stood up, walked to him and said: "I went to Xinwu and asked him about some formations. The sky has passed, you should know it by now, right?"
"What?" Dugu Wei turned his head and asked in confusion.
Seeing his confused look, Murong Jing felt a little bit appreciative of Xuanwu for not telling him about it. She sighed softly and recounted to Dugu Wei some of the information she had just talked to Mu Qing about. .
"If this is really a big formation, I'm thinking that if Bai Hao is so brazen and even emboldened, he might even take the initiative to provoke us. What do you think?"
It was rare for Murong Jing to say so many words. Dugu Wei, who was originally full of depression, felt calm inside after smelling her faint breath. It took him a long time to react under Murong Jing's strange eyes and said repeatedly: "I think you Yes."
Murong Jing was thoughtful, walked back to the stone table, sat down, and said softly: "Those five places are full of death. If you don't understand the key and try to destroy them, you will definitely be entangled in karma. What can you do? ?"
Duguwei muttered: "A quarter of the personal guards are here. I can let each of them guard a place. If anything goes wrong, we must stop Bai Hao from succeeding no matter what the cost."
Murong Jing was slightly surprised and said: "I thought you would let it go. After all, as long as we stay away from the core, Bai Hao will only destroy his own foundation."
Being treated like this by the woman he secretly admired, Dugu Wei felt a little aggrieved, but he still said bluntly: "It is indeed better to wait and see what happens than to act rashly, but if he misses the opportunity to take action and lets Bai Hao succeed, even if he loses a lot of people's hearts, he will still succeed. ”
Murong Jing was silent for a while and then sighed softly: "You are right. If he really achieves a certain goal by relying on this formation, everything he did in the early stage may be in vain. This is something I did not consider before. of."
On the contrary, Dugu Wei comforted her slowly and said: "You are different from Qinglong Baihu and the others. These power struggles will make people tired."
Murong Jing looked at him appreciatively and smiled: "I thought you were going to cause trouble for him everywhere after you came here. If I were to be sandwiched between you, I would only get a headache. I didn't expect you to know the general situation so well."
"Bullshit knowledge." Dugu Wei sighed in his heart, but his face was still more sincere and said: "So you haven't seen me these past few days because you think that I thought of a quick victory from the beginning, which would drag everyone down. Dangerous place?"
"That's right." Murong Jing didn't know whether it was OK or not.
Dugu Wei felt sour when he heard her, and finally couldn't help asking the question he wanted to know the most: "How long will you stay here? You have to make decisions about some things."
Since Dugu Wei has put on a halo of "knowing the general situation", she can no longer use this reason to stay with Mu Qing. Murong Jing's mind was spinning rapidly, and her face regained its seriousness and said: "I'm here , Firstly, it is convenient to suppress the karma, and in addition, Bai Jiahe was seriously injured, so I have to rescue people at any time."
There was a glint in Dugu Wei's eyes. Although he only wanted to care about Murong Jing's affairs, he still knew that Bai Jiahe did not live here. However, by now, he had already tested Murong Jing's attitude.
He looked at Murong Jing, thought for a while and said sincerely: "Some things are simply impossible to hide from others."
Murong Jing's heart tightened slightly, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "What do you mean?"
Dugu Wei lowered his head and glanced at the grapes he had been holding in his hand, and said softly: "Then Xie Henhe is not dead, but since your actions are involved, then I will treat her as dead."
"But from this incident, you should also understand that people like Mu Qing want to leave Hidden Valley. If you stay with them, I will never think that you have any special relationship with him, but what does the head of the family think? "
Dugu Wei raised his head and warned secretly: "The fact that you can take off the mask at will proves that you have mastered the forbidden technique, but the more you do this, the deeper the Taoist bond on your body will be..."
"I understand." There was no emotion in Murong Jing's voice, "Don't worry, Murong has cultivated me, and I will never betray this surname, but I also want to tell some people through your mouth. In this case, Just don’t blame me.”
Dugu Wei raised his head and sighed: "Exchanging sincerity for sincerity is what should be done. If you are really tired, please don't talk about this kind of thing to others."
Murong Jing's eyes were too scrutinizing. After looking at Dugu Wei's sincere expression for a while, she finally said softly: "Thank you."
If it were Murong Yin here, Murong Jing would answer like this. This attitude actually showed that she really wanted to break away now.
Those traitors in the spiritual realm will still face the danger of life and death from thunder and destruction, but what about Murong Jing?
Duguwei turned around and walked towards the outside of the pavilion and said, "I will assume that you have given me full authority to handle matters. Just rest here."
