"Is there really nothing you can do?"
In front of the window, Huai Cao Shi frowned at the man in front of her and asked anxiously.
Murong Xing retracted his gaze to the sky and turned to look at her: "You should go out of the city with them instead of looking for me. In the face of real strength, any words will only be useful when others are willing to listen."
Huai Caoshi's eyes moved slightly and looked out the window. Before she came to Murong Xing, she had guessed that there would probably be no results, but as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, she wanted to try her best.
Murong Xing looked at the silent Huai Cao Shi, sighed softly in his heart, and suddenly said: "It seems that the letter you sent back did not have any effect."
Huai Caoshi's ears twitched, and she knew that Murong Yun's words were not meant for her.
Sure enough, a slightly shrill voice sounded behind them: "The emperor should have made a breakthrough, and his view of some things may have changed."
Cao Jin appeared in the house, his face was not very good-looking, "These people in the Gu family are not easy to talk to at first glance."
Huai Cao Shi suddenly heard the news of the emperor's breakthrough. After being surprised, he immediately figured out many things. She turned around and looked at the two people in the room, suddenly laughing to herself.
These people from the Gu family arrived just in time...
She is just so stupid that she has lost the most basic ability to judge.
As soon as Murong Yun saw Huai Cao Shi's expression, he knew where she was thinking, but he did not immediately explain but looked at Cao Jin and said, "Do you know when they set off?"
Cao Jin's white eyebrows twitched and he asked coldly: "Are you doubting me? You don't know what I have done during this period? If I had known that I could not change the emperor's mind, would I have interacted with Mu Qing and the others again?"
Murong Yun nodded and looked sideways at Huai Cao Shi. Huai Cao Shi was frowning in thought at this time. Sensing his gaze, her slender eyebrows moved slightly and she asked in a serious voice: "What is the emperor's idea?"
Cao Jin was still thinking about the secret technique promised by Mu Qing. When Huai Cao Shi asked, he did not hide it: "You have stayed in the Imperial City for a long time before, and now you should be able to understand why the chaos in Suzaku City is dragging on. What’s the reason for taking so long?”
"With the power of Hidden Valley, we may be able to occupy Suzaku City for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to occupy Suzaku City for a lifetime. Before I came here, I never expected that the situation would develop to what it is today..."
Perhaps thinking of everything that had happened during this period, Cao Jin was silent for a moment before continuing: "When Tian Shou appeared in Tiannan, the emperor's purpose was already clear. Now it seems that except for Bai Hu's death, other things... The emperor has almost done it.”
Huai Cao Shi suddenly felt a mixture of hatred and fear towards Bai Di. She hated him because the man beside her was doing things for Bai Di, and was afraid because Bai Di seemed to have done nothing, but in the end, he did. A lot.
Murong Yun said: "I don't agree with what he did, but I also have things I want to accomplish. Since you came to me, don't leave for the time being."
Huai Caoshi looked at Murong Yun a little tiredly, and her heart felt a little numb. She didn't know whether he had always been like this or whether he had become like this, but she suddenly discovered that although she could still see him now, and even be with him He speaks, but the frequency with which his emotions are stirred has become less and less.
"Thank you anyway." Huai Caoshi said softly, turned and left the room.
Murong Yun watched Huai Cao Shi's back and left without speaking again, let alone forcing him to stay.
Cao Jin saw all this in his eyes and said with a half-smile: "In this world, Mu Qiang has never been a shameful act, but it is regrettable that the relationship between you and her has become increasingly weak. to the point.”
Murong Yun said calmly: "This is a good thing for her. I can't even handle my own affairs well now."
Cao Jin had no interest in things between men and women. After joking, he walked from the shadows to the window, looked at the movement in the sky in the distance, and fell silent.
Murong Yun looked sideways and saw Cao Jin's white eyebrows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, and asked: "What are you hesitating about? Do you want to bet big?"
Cao Jin still looked at the sky, his eyes gradually calmed down: "This is the young man who defeated the young master of the Gu family."
Murong Yun also fell silent after hearing this. Cao Jin said that Mu Qiang was never a shameful act. Could it be that the "strong" in his heart had become Mu Qing?
But what can they do now?
Compared with Huai Cao Shi, who can still represent Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, their two identities and positions are far from the time when they can go on stage to speak.
…
Almost at the same time that Huai Cao Shi asked about Murong Xing at the window, Qinglong met Murong Yin and Xuanwu on the streets near Nijiuzi Lane.
If you take into account the slightly solemn atmosphere at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qinglong blocked the two of them.
"What are you doing here?"
Qinglong's eyes fell on Xuanwu.
The eyes behind the Xuanwu mask narrowed slightly, "Where did you send Dugu Wei and the others?"
Qinglong didn't expect Xuanwu to ask this question. He glanced at Murong Yin and felt a chill in his heart for some unknown reason. Maybe the worse the result is now, the calmer Murong Yin will be?
After all, he originally opposed Hidden Valley's attack on Suzaku City.
While Qinglong was guessing Murong Yin's mood at this time, he replied calmly: "It's all entrusted to Mrs. Wang. They should all be outside the city now. With the women of Wanhua Valley taking care of them, they are far more comfortable than staying in the city. good."
Murong Yin nodded and suddenly asked directly: "Were you with Zhuque and the others just now?"
Qinglong was wary and kept his expression unchanged: "I came to see if I could help the Valley Master, and I wasn't with Suzaku and the others."
Murong Yin, who had always been a little depressed, seemed to have suddenly changed his face at this moment. He raised his eyelids and looked sharply into Qinglong's eyes.
Qinglong didn't dodge, and his eyes didn't even change at all.
"Hey~"
A long sigh sounded from Murong Yin's mouth.
Murong Yin's eyes returned to the deep and calm look of the past, "Some things may seem to you that I am wrong, but when it comes to discussing it, I should let her talk to me instead of you standing between me and her. Can you understand?"
Xuanwu also said at the right time: "We have been paying attention to her situation. How is her condition now?"
Now that the two of them have determined that he was with Murong Jing and the others just now, Qinglong no longer conceals it: "She was seriously injured, but she can move on her own."
A trace of surprise flashed in Xuanwu's eyes. From his point of view, Murong Jing had to fight against two late-stage mortals by one person. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he was still in the dying stage. How could he still be able to act on his own?
"Where is she? Take me to see her." Murong Yin's eyes flashed with anxiety.
His feelings for Murong Jing were very complicated. For a while, he tried to treat Murong Jing as a younger brother and sister. After Murong Jing broke through and transcended the world, he regarded Murong Jing as the daughter he had cultivated.
But one thing remained unchanged in Murong Yin's heart from beginning to end, and that was that Murong Jing should be the most loyal retainer of his Murong family.
Or to put it more simply, Murong Jing's life belongs to the Murong family.
Even if some things happened in the past and some misunderstandings accumulated, the Murong family has spent countless resources on cultivating her, so she should not do the stupid things that endanger her life now.
Murong Yin suppressed the emotions that suddenly surged in him, only to realize that Qinglong didn't answer.
The atmosphere on the street was a little tense, and Xuanwu took the initiative to persuade: "The four of us have been practicing for many years. Do you think I will harm her?"
Qinglong looked directly into Xuanwu's eyes, and then looked at Murong Yin, whose face was gloomy. He shook his head: "No, you won't harm her, but you will want to take her away."
"What's wrong with this?" Murong Yin narrowed his eyes, "I know Jiang Shangxiu must be with her, but with Jiang Shangxiu's attainments in point formation, I'm afraid it's not enough to cover up the auras of your group. You must know that you are facing Who is."
Xuanwu also advised from the side: "Since you know how to send Baihu and the others to safety outside the city, why did you stop us? When Suzaku and the others are really found, there will be no chance to change the situation."
The hesitation in Qinglong's eyes only lasted for a moment, and then he shook his head firmly. He looked at Murong Yin: "Even if Suzaku faces me now, we don't have the same relationship as before. If you go to her at this time, you will only force her." Choose to refuse in an extreme way.”
There was a hint of coldness in Murong Yin's eyes, and he asked in a stern voice: "Qinglong, are you still Qinglong?"
Qinglong's chest rose slightly: "I have never forgotten where my strength comes from. Zhang Lu does not need to doubt me. At this time, we in Hidden Valley should watch and help each other."
Murong Yin took a deep look at Qinglong. What Qinglong said was "our Hidden Valley" but not "our Murong". This actually meant something. The depression in Murong Yin's heart suddenly reached its peak.
Murong Yun's release from seclusion was supposed to be the most critical step for the Murong family to revive their glory. At this time, they were developing quietly. He really couldn't understand how they could suddenly fall into such chaos after they had been developing peacefully for so many years. situation.
At this moment, Murong Yin remembered the so-called half-day plan. His original intention was just to frustrate the enthusiasm of the young sect of Qinglong Hidden Valley. How could it get to this point?
Murong Yin thought of Bai Hu again. With the strength shown by Bai Hu's secret training, Qinglong and the others did not actually have the strength to overthrow the city lord's palace.
In the end, Murong Yin naturally thought of Mu Qing. He was the one who had a deep grudge against Bai Hao, he was the one who killed Bai Hao, and he was the one who abducted Suzaku...
At this moment, Murong Yin finally felt an emotion called regret. If he had known today, that night in Huangsong Valley, he would have killed this thief no matter what.
Although some things seemed unfounded at the time, with Mu Qing's demonic talent, he should have thought that the peace he had worked so hard to maintain for many years would completely collapse due to Mu Qing's appearance.
Murong Yin suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xuanwu.
Xuanwu was stunned for a moment and lowered his jaw slightly.
Qinglong's eyes were slightly cold, and lightning suddenly appeared on his body, "If you continue like this, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between Suzaku and you."
Xuanwu turned his hand, and a broken tortoise shell appeared in his palm. Qinglong sighed in his heart and retreated.
When he appeared nearby, his original intention was to block some danger for Murong Jing and the others, but he never expected that the danger would come from his side.
"bundle!"
Xuanwu shouted softly, and a dark spiritual snake roared out from his mask.
After this spiritual snake caught up with the green dragon, it immediately surrounded the green dragon with its head and tail in its arms.
Qinglong didn't expect Xuanwu to use the mask on his face as soon as he came up. After seeing the spiritual snake connected into a ring, it continued to shrink and surround, as if he wanted to isolate an independent space. He stopped flying blindly, his waist sank, and he stepped on it with both feet. When the ground shook, he twisted his waist and punched out.
"Boom——"
His punch was like thunder on the ground. Purple thunder surrounded his entire arm and directly broke the spirit snake.
The spirit snake screamed, and the huge spirit body collapsed into a ball of black mist.
Qinglong's sight was blocked by the churning black mist, and he couldn't see Xuanwu throwing his hand into the broken tortoise shell into the black mist, and he kept making seals one after another with his hand movements. When the purple light flashed under his feet, he wanted to When I rushed out of the black fog, I found that the black fog seemed to have completely spread and became boundless.
On the street, looking at the black clouds that kept moving across the sky, Murong Yin showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "I didn't expect that your formation skills have improved a lot."
The movement of Xuanwu's hand has stopped, and there is a hint of bitterness in his eyes. He actually wants to do something else with the improvement gained from the collapse of his Taoist heart.
"This trap can trap at most half an incense stick of Qinglong. We have to take action immediately." Xuanwu glanced in the direction of Mudleg Alley.
He had noticed this place as early as when the Guards Cavalry appeared in Mudleg Alley, thinking that this was a secret stronghold that Mu Qing and the others had prepared long ago.
Murong Yin's figure quickly moved forward: "Every formation must have traces. Look for Jiang Shangxiu's aura. We have no time to waste anymore."
Xuanwu's eyes darkened when he heard this. After listening to Murong Yin's arrangement and taking advantage of the chaos to attack Zhang Shaoyao, he no longer had any room for change.
The more talented Mu Qing is now, the more complicated his mood becomes. If Murong Yin wants to take away Murong Jing while Murong Jing is injured, then the reason why he works so hard is because of the things he has never completed before. .
Xiangbi Nahuai Fenghua and Jiang Shangxiu were also by Murong Jing's side, but I wonder if Jiang Shangxiu had told Murong Yun about him?
Thinking about this possibility, Xuanwu's eyes intertwined endlessly. After arriving at Nijiuzi Lane, he searched for the aura of Jiang Shangxiu's formation more and more diligently.
In Suzaku City, apart from the ordinary people who left the city in panic, there were only a handful of people left who were still concerned about the rotten situation.
Xing Fei rode on horseback and visually measured the charging distance from Mudleg Lane. He raised his arms and the noisy team behind him immediately returned to silence.
He asked Yan Qing to lead some brothers to escort their families outside the city. If the journey went smoothly, maybe Yan Qing would have met Que Chun and brought his concern.
This is enough.
And he, leading the remaining two thousand cavalry troops behind him, stayed here quietly, always preparing for the last charge of the day.
The whistle of swords in the sky was still continuous. Xing Fei's eyes turned and immediately fell on the three figures who looked a little small.
He easily recognized Mu Qing and judged that Mu Qing's situation was not good at this time.
He didn't know why a good man like Mr. Mu Qing faced dangerous situations again and again.
But none of that matters anymore.
He even vaguely knew that these people who suddenly appeared were from the imperial dynasty, but he had no intention of changing his mind.
Mu Qing was already the city lord of Suzaku City.
