The taste is fresh, the smell of wine has dissipated, and the dishes have cooled down.
Chen Zhuo looked at Mu Qing, who was deep in thought, and said, "The sky is high and the road is far away. I'm afraid only he knows what Bai Di is thinking about writing, but can't you guess a little bit of the meaning of Zhang Lu?"
Mu Qing was silent.
If Emperor Bai really calls for a strong man from the Gu family, Murong Jing will be in great danger if he stays in Suzaku City and bears the brunt. But Mu Qing already knew from Murong Jing's silence until now that Murong Jing planned to stay.
Mu Qing asked: "What do you think? If it comes time to make a choice, I will probably choose to let go and keep everyone safe."
"This is probably the best result, but have you ever thought that Bai Emperor must have paid a lot of money to invite people from the Gu family, but he would let everyone go so easily?"
Chen Zhuo didn't say "Hidden Valley" at this time, but "everyone". He somewhat hoped that Mu Qing could stand up and withstand the pressure. Mu Qing naturally heard it and said calmly: "I just realized it now. You prefer the current situation to us, but neither this city nor this restaurant is as important as anyone."
The troubled look on Chen Zhuo's face appeared and disappeared. The lobby was surprisingly quiet. Even the sound from the room on the second floor could be heard. Mu Qing didn't bother him. Looking out the window at the night, he felt want for the first time. To accomplish something larger, he would face countless challenges and difficulties. In other words, this matter was already another matter. Even he himself could not figure out why he would accept it. The confidence and hesitation brought by Bai Hao were not eliminated.
"I heard that the eunuch hasn't left yet?"
Mu Qing's thoughts were brought back to reality. He looked at Chen Zhuo who looked serious and asked, "What do you want to say? I don't like to beat around the bush with you."
Chen Zhuo drank one glass of wine and then two more in succession. When he raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Qing, he said without any hint of drunkenness: "You never sit back and wait for a change. I don't mind if you can be with Bai Qing." Can you get in touch with the eunuch if you have a relationship with the emperor? I just don’t know what he needs before he can recognize your identity."
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed. He had indeed had a conversation with Cao Jin, but the meaning of Chen Zhuo's words was even deeper.
When Chen Zhuo saw that Mu Qing was silent, he chuckled and said, "Have you ever thought that Zhang Lu's moves may seem passive, but he is actually willing to do so, as long as he can avoid the next move?" In a crisis, what qualifications do Qinglong White Tiger have to say that things will change?"
Mu Qing nodded and replied: "There will probably be some people who will be treated as abandoned children and stay in Suzaku City, but things will never go as smoothly as Murong Yin hopes."
Chen Zhuo smiled knowingly and said: "It depends on the weight of the abandoned son. Do you still have some misunderstandings about your own strength? I think your weight is even heavier than Suzaku, so there is a high probability that you will be unable to do anything. That discarded piece of time."
Mu Qing said: "I am an abandoned son, what about you? I didn't expect you to tell me this."
Chen Zhuo replied helplessly: "I have said a long time ago that I am a businessman, and I am also a businessman who has a little vision and pursues a little excitement. Let's put it this way, I won't give up on you until you die."
Mu Qing smiled indifferently and said: "Then I will probably disappoint you, because I have always been a person who pursues freedom. You can follow Murong Jing back to Hidden Valley tomorrow."
Chen Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said in surprise: "You actually want Suzaku to leave, knowing that she is the only one who is extraordinary and strong among us, or are you planning to give up now?"
Mu Qing frowned and said, "I can give up at any time. Why do you think a city is more important than them? But before that, since I have agreed, I will try my best to do it."
Chen Zhuo said without hesitation: "Then I will definitely stay, but I just forgot to mention that when Suzaku returns to Hidden Valley, Xuanwu will come, and maybe Zhang Lu will start to appreciate you as a person. After all... you He is a guy whose ideas are easily seen through but always surprises.”
The solemnity in Mu Qing's heart lost a little, and he smiled: "It would be great if there was a happy situation for everyone, but I did contact Cao Jin. As for the effect... maybe it depends on what Murong Yin does, and what Bai Di does. Do."
Chen Zhuo said appreciatively: "It seems that you are not a passive person. By the way, there is a small matter here. I might ask you to tell Commander Xing in advance."
After Chen Zhuo left, he appeared on the stairs wearing a red skirt. Mu Qing stood up, walked to the bottom of the steps, wiped off the wine stains on his fingertips, and then stretched out his hand towards Murong Jing.
Murong Jing smiled at him. Neither of them said anything at this time. They just felt the warmth of their palms quietly and walked out of the restaurant.
The street was so deserted that one could even hear each other's steady and long breathing. Murong Jing turned her head several times to look at Mu Qing, and finally couldn't help it anymore, kicked him and said, "Don't you have anything to say? ?”
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Didn't you hear it upstairs? I don't know what kind of person Bai Emperor is, so I can't guess how brutal his counterattack will be, but I also think that you are still here Suzaku City will be in danger.”
Murong Jing asked with a cold face: "Have you forgotten what you promised me in front of that stone monument? Why do you want to show off alone again? How about we go to have a fight outside the city now? My Nine Heavens Nether Flame I learned the art very quickly, so I just want to give it a try."
Mu Qing made a rare joke and said: "No need to fight, you must be better than me outside."
Murong Jing's train of thought was immediately diverted, and she asked curiously: "Is there something inside?"
Mu Qing suddenly let go of her hand and said seriously: "Of course, the house."
Murong Jing was stunned for a moment, her fair and beautiful face was stained with a layer of red at a speed visible to the naked eye. When she was about to hit someone in shame and anger, Mu Qing beside her had already disappeared.
She chased after Mu Qing and shouted: "Wait for me, see if I don't beat you to death!"
At the corner of the quiet alley, Murong Jing wiped the saliva on her cheeks and slapped Mu Qing hard, "I told you to run, I told you to run!"
Mu Qing quickly begged for mercy: "Sister Jing, I was wrong. I just kissed you one more time. Didn't you stop enjoying it just now?"
"You still say that!!!" Murong Jing's face is more beautiful than the most beautiful sunset in autumn, and her angry look is like the wind blowing the sunset.
Mu Qing laughed, hugged Murong Jing directly into his arms, narrowed his eyes and greedily smelled the fragrance between her black hair, and said seriously: "I said, you are more important than a city, so when it comes to danger, I am sure I will bring everyone to join you, don’t you still believe me?”
"Then..." Murong Jing struggled slightly, then leaned quietly on Mu Qing's shoulder.
Mu Qing said: "I want to accompany you to find the hut in your memory. How could something happen to you here? If you leave, I will run to you very quickly."
