Among the ruins of Baita Temple, as Xing Fei shouted to rest on the spot, the soldiers were so exhausted that they could no longer care about their image and slumped on the ground.
Lao Qi found Xing Fei, whose face was getting more solemn. He hesitated for a moment before asking: "Brother, what do you want to do? You said you were looking for your second brother, but why did you just walk back and forth without saying a word along the way?"
Xing Fei's gaze has been falling on the base of the white tower. The dark entrance of the cave exudes a biting coldness under the orange-red sunlight from the west. He said: "Such a big movement back and forth can always attract people." He, you should think about why Geshan didn’t come to see us.”
Lao Qi said seriously: "Brother, are you too sensitive? The second brother may be breaking the formation now, and we haven't spread out at all. We follow the prescribed route back and forth."
Xing Fei shook his head and said: "Before I meet Ge Shan, it is not a bad thing to be cautious. Do you feel it?"
Lao Qi was silent. He suddenly felt that Xing Fei must be too tired to be like this now, speaking and doing things mysteriously and only relying on his feelings.
Xing Fei looked to the south. The setting sun was still red on the watchtower in the corner of the city wall. There was a sense of urgency in his tone: "It has been a day. What if the people return to the inner city and something goes wrong again? Geshan refuses. Seeing me actually indicates that there is something wrong underground."
"Uh..." Lao Qi followed Xing Fei's train of thought and guessed: "Could it be that someone is watching the second brother, which makes the second brother so cautious, huh? No, then he refused to tell me anything before, could it be? Are you doubting me?"
"Brother, there's something wrong with your guess. It must be that you haven't rested and your nerves are too tight."
Seeing Xing Fei sinking deeper and deeper, Lao Qi unconsciously sighed feebly and walked aside.
Xing Fei said to himself in his heart: "Who is that sight? Is it him who makes you not even willing to take any risks?"
Xing Fei walked towards Lao Qi, patted him on the shoulder, and said apologetically: "This matter cannot be known to other brothers for the time being, so I have to trouble you."
"Let's talk, at times like this, it's always more interesting to do something." Lao Qi said with a smile.
Xing Fei said: "When I return to the camp, I will give you a map, which will indicate the general situation of the underground space, but I don't need you to take people down. You only need to assign a few trustworthy brothers to work day and night. Guard at some key positions. No matter who comes out from below, they will come to me immediately. Remember, you must keep an eye on the other party, but you must not let the other party discover it."
Lao Qi nodded, and sighed softly: "Brother, you really don't want to rest? I think you should have a good rest first, and I will just arrest the person to see you."
Xing Fei shook his head and said: "Some things, taking action hastily will only make things difficult to control. Just do as I say."
…
To the east of the city, there is a restaurant called Xianweiju.
Mu Qing was drinking alone on the first floor. A mountain-like figure came uninvited and made the bench creak when he sat down.
Mu Qing frowned and asked, "How is Bai Hu?"
Chen Zhuo glanced at the top of his head, shook his head and said: "His condition is very bad. It's terrible. If it weren't for the mask that was connected to his life, he would have gone crazy even if he died. The problem now is that he can stay awake except for a trace of his true spirit. , every part of his body is corroded by that disgusting force. If there is no way to get rid of this force, he will be in danger."
After Chen Zhuo finished speaking, he seemed to remember the battle with Bai Hao mentioned by Mu Qing, and asked: "Is this the power of Shura?"
Mu Qing replied: "Well, if the will is not strong, it is very likely that the desire to kill will dominate the body and become a monster that only knows killing. But don't worry, Bai Hu was seriously injured, and even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the strength. "
"Uh." Chen Zhuo was choked and simply put down his wine glass and said sincerely: "Since you chose to stand up, you should understand that Baihu and the others can be regarded as your allies in a sense, right?"
Mu Qing responded calmly: "Isn't she still down? I taught her the method of breath-taking. White Tiger will not have any problems in this regard."
There was a glimmer of light in Chen Zhuo's eyes. The Qi-eating method mentioned by Mu Qing was by no means an ordinary method. Unfortunately, he was self-aware and did not discuss it in depth. He nodded and said, "That's good."
"But something is wrong with me." Mu Qing said suddenly.
Chen Zhuo was a little surprised. He seemed to have guessed something and reached out to hold the wine glass.
Mu Qing looked at Chen Zhuo and asked coldly: "What did you say to Murong Jing in the afternoon? I can still tell her mood."
Chen Zhuo glanced at Mu Qing, then lowered his head to look at the table, picked up the small wine glass, rubbed the delicate porcelain surface back and forth with his rough fingers, and chuckled: "The food in this Xianweiju is delicious and the wine is mellow. The only pity is that It’s just that there are fewer diners who can taste the real good taste, so it’s okay not to drink it.”
Mu Qing's face was calm. Chen Zhuo's words might have hidden meanings, but Mu Qing didn't like to go round and round to guess what people he didn't like. He just kept silent and continued to wait.
Chen Zhuo sighed softly and whispered: "Zhang Lu said something strange happened in the forbidden area, and Suzaku needs to go back to help guard it. He must leave tomorrow morning at the latest."
Mu Qing's eyes flashed with sternness, and he asked, "Why is this time?"
"That's a good question, but it's a pity that I can't answer it. You should ask the manager." Chen Zhuo turned to look at the empty lobby with no diners except for their table, and said something unrelated to the current matter. Said: "You don't know, this delicious food became my property yesterday."
Chen Zhuo said "I" instead of Hidden Valley. Of course Mu Qing knew what this meant. He frowned and said, "Isn't this what you want? If you can fulfill the agreement when you took over this restaurant, maybe it will be good for you." It was also a good thing that everyone was happy with for the previous owner.”
Chen Zhuo's drooped eyelids suddenly opened, revealing a pair of bright eyes. He looked at Mu Qing, then looked at the restaurant, and sighed: "So you don't reject it. If you had known, I wouldn't be so restrained. What a pity. It’s a pity, I’m afraid I won’t have this opportunity again.”
Mu Qing said calmly: "Even if I become the city lord, you will still go to Mrs. Wang for these matters. Whatever Mrs. Wang's opinion is, I will give it to you."
"This is a good thing, so you understand the importance of practice." Chen Zhuo rarely showed a hint of appreciation. He didn't know whether it was because of Mu Qing's obedience to good deeds or the eyes of the women behind Mu Qing.
Mu Qing looked at Chen Zhuo who deliberately dropped the subject, and continued: "After Bai Hao's death, Baidi City's reaction will be coming soon, right?"
Chen Zhuo picked up the glass of wine and drank it all, took a sip and said, "No, if the person who comes here is really a master of the Gu family, he might become an extraordinary and powerful person once he takes action."
Mu Qing narrowed his starry eyes and picked up the wine glass, feeling a little lost in thought.
Chen Zhuo asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Qing said: "I'm wondering what Murong Yin is thinking and what Bai Di is thinking..."
