Cao Jin chuckled and shook his head, and said: "The latest news from Baidi City is that His Majesty has asked the great minister to contact the Gu family."
Murong Xing's expression changed slightly and he said, "People from the Gu family will also interfere in this matter? What conditions did your Majesty agree to?"
Cao Jin gave him a strange look and said, "Our family also knows that there is a Taishi Covenant in the spiritual world, but if we really want to talk about it, wasn't it the Murong family who broke the rules first in the Suzaku City incident? As for what conditions..."
Cao Jin sighed softly and said with a somewhat ugly face: "If the time has come for Suzaku City to change hands, even if the Gu family takes action to conquer it for Your Majesty, they must be coveting the newly discovered spiritual vein."
The Mugung Dynasty discovered large-scale spiritual veins hundreds of years ago. Over the past hundred years, those spiritual veins have been mined to the point where only a few are left. Where are the new spiritual veins?
Murong Xing looked confused and looked at Cao Jin: "My father-in-law has been in Zhuque City for more than a month. Where did you hear the news?"
Cao Jin was worried about the situation in Suzaku City and responded casually: "Before our family left Baidi City, this spiritual vein had already determined its location. It runs along the bed of Qingchuan River and is in Qingchuan Prefecture."
This is a water attribute spiritual vein.
Murong Xing's face showed surprise, and he thought to himself: "The ancient family's dual cultivation of human body and law is particularly close to the wood-attribute avenue. This water-attribute spiritual vein is an excellent choice for polishing the meridians."
With this thought in his mind, his face regained some dignity and said: "Father-in-law, you should understand that if my eldest brother hadn't been concerned about the Taishi Covenant, Zhuque City would not be like this now, but... the reason for this is also because I attacked the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, but I don’t know if my father-in-law came to me specifically because he thought there was something I could do?”
Cao Jin said sternly: "There is one thing our family knows clearly. Your coming here is His Majesty's wish, and your identity is incomparable to others. Our family's representative, His Majesty, cannot talk to Hidden Valley. But you can."
Murong Xing was silent, his eyes fell on the cold jade box on the table, and he said softly: "If I advise them to hold still and not take action, I'm afraid my suggestions will only have the opposite effect if they are conveyed to him."
"My father-in-law doesn't know. My eldest brother has a sharper vision than anyone else. Some things are better to be advised than not to be advised."
Cao Jin looked at Murong Xing thoughtfully and asked: "Then if things continue like this, Hidden Valley is bound to lose a few generals, and they might even confront the Gu family. Is this what you want to see? result?"
Murong Xing frowned, looked at the southern night sky outside the window of the wooden house, and said: "Father-in-law, don't forget, although I haven't changed my surname, I have already left there. If it was just this matter, maybe... my elder brother would give me tacit approval. Attitude."
Cao Jin was really puzzled this time. He temporarily put aside Bai Hao's affairs and asked: "Hidden Valley is regarded as the private property of your Murong family. Why would Murong Yin acquiesce in the loss of soldiers and generals?"
Murong Xing withdrew his gaze, fell on Cao Jin's face and said softly: "Because he only wants to restore the Murong family's former glory, and he doesn't agree with these things, but if he sends this severed hand back, he has no choice. Gu is bound to arrange experts to deal with Bai Hao, but there is one detail. When my father-in-law goes back, he can go and see if none of the five hidden kills are available."
Cao Jin came to his senses: "You're saying that killing the five people in hiding is what that old guy Murong Yin really cares about. As for the other people in Hidden Valley, it's not that they can't be sacrificed? This is..."
Murong Xing chuckled and shook his head: "What's the point? In my eldest brother's heart, Hidden Valley is just a private property of the Murong family, so when some people don't think so, he doesn't mind using our hands to clean it up. Wave."
Murong Xing said: "Speaking of which, since Bai Hao has made so many preparations, apart from asking me to persuade them not to take action, my father-in-law may have other ideas, right?"
Cao Jin's white eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze fell directly on Murong Xing's face. His face was hesitant, but he was also considering whether to reveal all his plans. Murong Xing seemed not to notice his hesitation, and always remained calm. A posture of patient listening.
"Hey, to be honest, our family is in deep quagmire this time." Cao Jin looked dejected and glanced at his empty sleeves, "The power of luck in my body has only returned to the four cities, but the most serious thing is , the Zhenguo Sword is no longer in my hands."
"Guo Zhen Sword?" Murong Xing had heard about Cao Jin's way of cultivation, and asked doubtfully: "Not everyone dares to touch the power of luck, not to mention absorbing and controlling it. Could it be that my father-in-law took action against Suzaku or Dugu Wei? "
In Murong Xing's conjecture, there is only one reasonable possibility left, that is, Cao Jin attacked Suzaku and the others, causing the Zhenguo Sword to be accidentally temporarily sealed.
Cao Jin's white eyebrows couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if he was recalling the scene of the battle. After a few breaths, he said with a spiteful face: "Suzaku destroyed one of our arms, but her anger in our family In the face of a lucky attack, he almost died, but what really makes our family feel troublesome is Mu Qing!"
"Mu Qing?" Murong Xing sat up straighter and said with a wry smile, "What? My father-in-law was also defeated by him?"
Murong Xing suddenly understood the key to Cao Jin's words, took a breath of cold air, and hissed: "He can control the power of luck?"
A trace of envy flashed in Cao Jin's eyes, and he said fiercely: "This boy probably has a great opportunity. I don't know where he learned the method of breathing, and he can absorb the power of luck. Our family will end up like this." , I am worried that Bai Hao will take action against our family if he loses control, and most of the reasons are because of this kid!"
Murong Xing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "I heard that Mu Qing is the son of Lin Xiao, the former lord of Suzaku City, and has a sworn feud with Bai Hao?"
Cao Jin restrained his resentment towards someone in time and said softly: "Speaking of which, his mother is your Majesty's cousin. With his status, he is indeed a bit special in this situation, but he still wants to succeed. A bit tender."
Murong Xing nodded and said: "He has an identity, but there is no power to support him."
Murong Xing changed the subject and suddenly asked: "Then why does father-in-law need to find me? Wouldn't it be better to find him as the city lord?"
Seeing Cao Jin's indifferent face, Murong Xing suddenly realized that regardless of whether Cao Jin and Mu Qing had a feud, the key point was that Mu Qing's appearance would definitely affect Cao Jin's practice. It was no wonder that Cao Jin would go far away to find him.
Cao Jin said: "Our family did not expect that the big stalls would be so broad-minded that they could give up the position of city lord with a population of one million. But you are so smart, you should understand that if our family does not choose Mu Qing, there are too many It’s a last resort, after all, our family also needs to practice cultivation.”
Murong Xing's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, but he felt that what Cao Jin said today was at least a lot more true.
Dao practice sometimes means "struggle".
Just like the ancient family of the Wilderness, one of the ten great families in the spiritual world, they can be said to be powerful forces who stand on the top of the mountain in the spiritual world to enjoy the scenery, but they will also be moved by a newly discovered spiritual vein.
After all, today's cultivation world has reached the Age of Ending Dharma, and the richness of spiritual energy has dropped significantly compared with a hundred years ago. When resources are limited, the word "struggle" will only stand out in the cultivation of the avenue.
Even for some resources that are rare in the world, if others get one more point, the remaining people will not get one less point, but there will be no problem at all.
Murong Xing's emotions were over, but he began to yearn for the world after the End of Dharma Era.
Cao Jin was sitting across from him. Seeing that he was slightly lost in thought, he was also a little puzzled. After seeing his eyes move slightly, he coughed lightly and continued: "The situation has been changing. If the stall owner is obsessed with conquering this land, Land, we have a suggestion here.”
Murong Xing looked at Cao Jin quietly.
Cao Jin lowered his voice and said: "As long as the big stall breaks the gap in the blood sacrifice formation at the critical moment, so that Bai Hao can't succeed, and you can also win the favor of those trapped in the formation, what do you think about this?" How are things?"
Murong Xing was silent for a longer time this time, holding half a stick of incense. Cao Jin's proposal hit the mark. As long as the blood sacrifice formation was destroyed and Bai Hao's plan to achieve the Shura body through this formation failed, even he would be extraordinary now. In the later stage, when facing the wrath of Hidden Valley, there was still only one end: death.
But Murong Xing still felt that something was wrong, and looked at Cao Jin quietly. Seeing Cao Jin's slightly happy expression, as if he was sure that he would agree, he suddenly asked: "What benefits can Eunuch Cao get from doing this?"
Cao Jin's eyes suddenly narrowed, then he felt lost his composure, and quickly regained his composure.
But he understood that this change could not escape Murong Xing's eyes, so he simply laughed and admitted: "I will be satisfied if I can get back what I lost. I guess the stall owner also knows a little bit about my cultivation method."
He looked back in the direction he came from and said, "If the people of this city unite and the power of luck between heaven and earth gathers as before, I can probably return to full strength."
Murong Xing looked calm and noncommittal.
Cao Jin came with an order to quell the rebellion in Suzaku City. Even if Bai Hao dies now, things have just experienced a climax. There is also Hidden Valley who is slightly less angry, and the Gu family who has a huge appetite... …, the chaos is far from over.
He didn't think Cao Jin had considered these before making this suggestion.
Seeing that Murong Xing still didn't express his position, Cao Jin secretly swore in his heart that he would never deal with anyone who is too smart in the future. Murong Xing finally said: "I stay in this deep mountain and old forest, and I don't know much about the situation in Suzaku City, but I do I understand that if Bai Hao dies, the current seemingly tense confrontation will no longer exist, and it will only become more chaotic. Could it be that Eunuch Cao has pinned all his hopes on people from the Gu family?"
When Cao Jin was told what he was thinking, he looked slightly embarrassed. He pointed at his yellow face with brown spots and said in a bleak tone: "It's better to be alive than dead, right? After this incident, our family will return to After the palace, he will no longer come out, and your majesty will only rely more on people like the stall owner."
When Cao Jin said this, he just wanted to protect himself. Murong Xing looked down on this person in his heart, but when he thought of the shocking number of people in that city, he did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
He looked serious and solemn as he said: "I also ask Eunuch Cao to tell you honestly one by one about the method of breaking the formation and the most suitable time to break the formation."
Cao Jin nodded and said: "This is natural, but..."
Murong Xing followed Cao Jin's line of sight and saw that it was the cold jade box containing Murong Xiuming's palm. He nodded and said, "Hidden Valley is still an enemy of the imperial dynasty. Since it was sent here, it will naturally appear where it should appear. I actually want to see if people like Jiang Shangxiu have the courage to break away after they understand my elder brother’s thoughts.”
Cao Jin had a smile on his face, looked at Murong Xing meaningfully, and sighed: "The idea of the big stall is indeed unique."
