When the sun spreads over the ancient city walls, Suzaku City has woken up with the hustle and bustle it deserves.
The frost and dew on the roof ridges are still wet, and under the influence of the morning light, streaks of water spread out along the ravines of the tiles, like strands of golden ribbons drawn on them.
A figure sat on the corner of the eaves, looking further south.
"What are you thinking about?" A slender figure flew up and asked softly.
Mu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the street not far away. The streets were crowded. It was obviously not a festival, but the people on the streets were all filled with joy.
"I was woken up, so I wanted to come up and take a look." Mu Qing said.
Huaifenghua sat next to him with her skirt rolled up, and said softly: "This kind of excitement is actually the normal state of this city. Sister Wang said that if you want to return to its former glory, it will take at least a long period of peace to achieve it. .”
Mu Qing was silent.
Huaifenghua turned her head to look at his serious side face and asked, "Are you very stressed now?"
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully, he shook his head slightly and replied: "I just don't understand why someone like Xing Fei who wants to do a good thing will encounter great resistance? Although I am trying to persuade him Everyone’s thoughts are different, but I still feel a little depressed.”
As the negotiation time got closer and closer, Mu Qing uncontrollably remembered something Xing Fei had said. There were many people around him helping him, but if some choices were really put in front of him, he could really make everyone happy. satisfied?
Huaifenghua vaguely sensed Mu Qing's mood at the moment and replied seriously: "It may not be difficult to accomplish something, but it is almost impossible to accomplish something that satisfies everyone. There are only two things you need to be sure of before you do anything.”
Mu Qing turned sideways and his eyes fell on Huaifenghua's face.
Under the golden sunshine, Huaifenghua's face was full of holiness, and she said slowly: "You must be worthy of your true heart, and you must understand who you are for."
Huai Fenghua seemed to be recalling some past events, and she was silent for a moment before saying: "If you want to be a qualified leader, you need to understand which things are based on your personal wishes, and which things are based on the consideration of everyone behind you. .”
"In the past few months, Ten Thousand Flowers Valley has experienced a lot, but there is no hatred or guilt in my heart for Hidden Valley. Many things in this world are like this, and people are not always the same. A murderous revenge, but the entanglement of desire and current circumstances will lead people to an irreversible result under the control of emotions."
"So when people look back on the past, they will always find a lot of regrets. But after calming down, they will find that maybe they would choose that way again."
"After talking so much, I just want to tell you one thing. As long as you have a clear conscience before making any choice, you don't have to worry about the consequences of the choice. Be brave and make each choice. Only then can you become an upright man."
Mu Qing responded with a face full of emotion: "What I want to do most right now is to have a place where you, aunt, can live together safely and easily."
Huaifenghua pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, and said: "Then you should work hard, my aunt will work hard too."
…
The location of the negotiation was placed in Anlefang on the left side of the south gate of the inner city. This was the result of Chen Zhuo's discussion with all parties.
Just after Chen hour, there were guards standing guard on the street of Anlefang. Sensing the solemn atmosphere here, the crowd gradually started to avoid it, so when Mu Qing and the two women behind him arrived at Yongning Building in the middle of the street At that time, it was difficult to see people shopping.
Xing Fei, who was wearing light armor, was standing at the door of the building. After seeing the three people arriving, he took the initiative to walk up and asked: "I asked you to go back very late last night. Have you rested?"
Seeing Xing Fei's dark circles under his eyes, Mu Qing chuckled and said, "I'm okay, but you, you didn't get any rest last night?"
Xing Fei shook his head and replied: "I don't care, but it's you. Even if you have Mrs. Wang's help today, you will never escape fighting with those people."
Xing Fei brought a few people to an elegant and quiet room on the second floor and said, "Those guys always like to look for a good omen in their names, so they found this restaurant. We will be negotiating in the main hall downstairs in a while, you guys You can rest and prepare first.”
When Wang Yeqing entered the door, he looked at the room not far away and asked, "Who came earlier than us? Chen Zhuo?"
Xing Fei nodded and said, "It's indeed shopkeeper Chen and some of the clan leaders."
Wang Yeqing thought for a while, looked at Mu Qing and said: "It has only been three days, and some families have begun to annex other families. We can't stop this kind of thing, but we must know how big their appetite is. I will go see them now." .”
Mu Qing nodded seriously towards Wang Yeqing. After Wang Yeqing left, Xing Fei also left.
Mu Qing saw that he looked exhausted and was still busy, so he pulled him and asked, "You are the commander-in-chief of the Guards. Are you going to wait at the door for everyone today?"
Xing Fei laughed and said: "How could it be possible? I just knew in advance that you had been coming for a long time."
Mu Qing asked: "Did something happen to you again?"
Xing Fei hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's not a big deal. I just discovered this morning that one less child was rescued."
The situation last night was a bit complicated. The two of them had been guarding against the imaginary enemy. The others were tired and hungry, and no one paid attention to how many children there were.
Mu Qing frowned and said, "How many people did Geshan deliver the news?"
"Exactly three hundred." Xing Fei couldn't hide his tiredness and said: "I forgot to tell them to go down last night, and the brothers were exhausted, so some children had just returned to the ground not long ago. When their families came to pick them up, they were asked to go straight to the ground. I took it back, and it wasn’t until I inspected the roster that Que Chun gave me today that I discovered that one person was missing.”
"You can send people to search several times along the route last night, or you can go to the homes of those who have taken their children home to search." Huaifenghua suggested.
Xing Fei nodded and said: "Well, I didn't want to go to those people's homes to have a look, but the most likely thing is that I was negligent last night and forgot about the child."
Xing Fei left quickly with some self-reproach.
Mu Qing and Huaifenghua sat by the window that could see the street. Huaifenghua poured Mu Qing a cup of tea and sighed: "Both Xing Fei and Geshan left a deep impression on me, but I still like to talk to Xing Fei." Make friends with people like Big Brother.”
Huaifenghua nodded, looked at him quietly and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me?"
Mu Qing was stunned, and then he consciously told Huaifenghua what happened in the tunnel last night. At the end, he said: "Nearly six hundred people disappeared completely, so Brother Xing found the exposed magma pool. Before, I had always suspected that Bai Hao was still alive, but fortunately the results have been found out."
Huaifenghua glared at Mu Qing and understood that Mu Qing didn't want to worry them by not saying anything. She was silent for a moment and said, "The only strange thing now is that Geshan is the only one. Don't you have any news about him yet?"
Mu Qing replied: "No, Brother Xing is sure that Geshan is still alive, but he has refused to come out to meet him, so Brother Xing has never given up monitoring the underground."
Huaifenghua's expression softened slightly and she said, "With Xing Fei's recognition and support, Suzaku City may be able to calm down soon."
