After leaving the small courtyard where Zhang Shaoyao lived, Mu Qing found Huaifenghua. He originally wanted to escort everyone to Nijiuzi Lane with Huaifenghua, but Huaifenghua said: "Someone is looking for you outside. Go see him." ?"
Huaifenghua rarely expresses this way. It seems that the relationship between the visitor and Wanhua Valley is unusual. Huaifenghua also understood that she had not made it clear and added: "It's Murong Xing. He knows about this place from somewhere. It seems that the east side of the city is indeed unsafe."
Mu Qing looked slightly cold and said: "Murong Xing? Why did he come to me? Is he looking for death?"
The expression on Huaifenghua's face improved slightly and she said: "Your uncle was deeply hurt by this stinky man, but I can see that at least your uncle's so-called despair is just self-deception, so you can beat him , but you can’t kill him, understand?”
Mu Qing nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I'll beat him up right now."
"Hey~ come back!" Huaifenghua pulled Mu Qing and slapped him angrily. Her expression returned to seriousness and said: "He must have contact with Cao Jin. You should have a good talk with him. Sometimes I also think, what if It’s good that everyone can have a good outcome, at least your uncle will be happier.”
Mu Qing heard the sentiments in Huaifenghua's words, subconsciously grabbed Huaifenghua's hand and asked, "What about you, aunt? I heard..."
"What did you hear?" Huaifenghua narrowed her beautiful eyes into a narrow slit, as if she would go crazy the next moment.
Mu Qing snorted and said, "Then I'll leave first. By the way, Shaoyao... Auntie, you need to enlighten me more."
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing's retreating back. She didn't know what she was remembering, and she was a little lost in thought. After a while, she cursed softly: "You brat, you are more carefree than your father..."
…
As soon as Mu Qing walked out of the door, he saw Murong Xing sitting under the morning market across the street.
After he sat down opposite Murong Xing, he asked directly: "What do you want from me?"
Murong Xing nodded towards him and said, "The latest news is that His Majesty hosted a banquet at the Mugung Palace last night. Do you know what this means?"
"You all look like you are guessing riddles. Do I know you very well? We have something to say." Mu Qing replied coldly.
Murong Xing was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Mugina Palace is an extremely important place in the palace. His Majesty the Emperor holds a banquet here. It is already clear who the guests are."
Mu Qing's heart moved, and he asked seriously: "How many of them are there in total, and what realm are the strongest?"
Murong Jing replied: "As for the strength of the three of them, I'm afraid only Your Majesty knows."
Mu Qing's eyes stopped on Murong Xing's face, but he couldn't see much emotion. He asked: "This is indeed a very timely news. I have to thank you, but what exactly do you want to do? I hope you can tell me clearly. There seems to be not enough time.”
"Your time is indeed a bit tight." Murong Xing said meaningfully, his sleeves and robes shook slightly, a sound barrier spread, and the noisy sounds around him quickly disappeared.
Mu Qing was a little surprised. When he was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Murong Xing was suppressed by the formation, and his performance was not lower than the early stage of extraordinary. Now, when he was face to face, it seemed that he was not lower than the middle stage of extraordinary.
Murong Xing laughed at himself: "You don't have to be surprised. After all, even Cao Jinbaihao was defeated by you. I'm quite lucky. I'm glad you didn't attack me as soon as you came out."
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing and frowned.
Murong Xing also discovered his own strangeness. He was not a person who liked to chat, but after knowing what Mu Qing had done, he wanted to chat more. Feeling Mu Qing's faint impatience, he He quickly put away his thoughts and reminded seriously: "What kind of thoughts did Murong Yin have in recalling Zhuque? People around you should have reminded you. I want to invite you to join us now."
"you?"
"Yes, you are qualified to join us instead of taking refuge."
Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "Can you understand me, leave Hidden Valley, and join the dynasty?"
Murong Xing thought about it seriously and replied: "His Majesty is a person with great ambitions. He and I share the same goals. We invite you to join us because we hope that we can all move forward in the same direction. The dynasty... the dynasty is just an identity."
Mu Qing frowned and took a deep look at Murong Xing. Because of the poem about Huai Cao, Mu Qing immediately regarded Murong Xing as an enemy, not the one who ranked first, so he didn't take the time to understand him at all. Pass this person.
Mu Qing asked: "What is your ambition? To unify southern Xinjiang?"
Murong Xing shook his head and smiled, and replied: "I thought of some things too simply before. There are some things where power alone is not enough, and there are some things where strength alone is not enough. Although you have not considered these things, I can You see a power to unite people, which may be what I lack, and my ambition is to hope that everyone can live a good life."
Mu Qing tilted his head and looked at Murong Xing with a puzzled look on his face. He thought carefully about the meaning of his words, and then said seriously as if he were separated from the clouds: "There is probably something wrong with you, I won't consider joining you."
Murong Xing smiled bitterly and said: "It's true that I didn't express it clearly, but time will record everything. However, you can completely pretend that what you just said didn't exist. As long as you don't regard me as an enemy, Cao Jin and I will try our best to help you keep Suzaku City. "
Mu Qing looked at Murong Xing and asked, "Cao Jin wants something from me, but what about you? Doesn't he treat you as an enemy?"
Murong Xing asked, "Isn't this enough? If we can still be friends one day, you will realize how prescient my decision today is."
Mu Qing stood up and said: "When you do something that hurts my uncle and Wanhua Valley, it is impossible for us to be friends. This is my bottom line."
Mu Qing left straight away. Murong Xing looked at his leaving figure thoughtfully, and said in his mouth: "When you get a lot of help, when you are unjust, you get little help. Is this the cause or effect of people's kindness?"
Considering Murong Xing's strength, Mu Qing, who originally planned to find Xing Fei, returned to Huaifenghua and secretly escorted everyone to Mudleg Alley.
On the way, a carriage stopped when passing Mu Qing. The curtain was opened, revealing a slightly frail face.
Mu Qing greeted the other party: "Junior Sister Bai, is your injury better?"
Bai Jiahe glanced at Mu Qing quietly, coughed slightly and smiled: "Thank you, senior brother Mu Qing. If it weren't for you that night, I would have died."
Mu Qing was slightly stunned, and then he remembered what happened on that rainy night. He didn't expect that he would feel as if he had been there for a long time. It seems that the sequelae of the battle with Bai Hao are not over yet. Mu Qing He shook his head, forgot about those battles, and said softly: "That damn eunuch is extracting the dragon energy from you. This will probably have a big impact on junior sister's luck. Please stretch out your hand and show me."
"Uh." Bai Jiahe was stunned for a moment, then retreated into the carriage and said something.
Mu Qing did not open his arms to listen. He only saw the coachman parking the carriage at the side. When the carriage behind saw the front stopped, one person jumped out first. When Mu Qing looked over, he said hello with a smile. : "Sister, how are you recovering from your injury?"
Ning Chu, who was as cold as ever, glanced at Mu Qing and replied: "You don't have to worry, why did you stop Junior Sister Bai's carriage? Master and the others have gone ahead."
"It's okay, it's okay, I can protect you now."
After Mu Qing finished speaking, Ning Chu's face became even colder. Mu Qing then realized that he had said the wrong thing, but for some reason the cold eyes he had not seen for a long time did not come. Mu Qing wanted to explain a few more words, but Bai Jiahe also Got off the carriage.
Only then did Mu Qing see someone following her with her head lowered.
