After leaving Lin Langtian, Mu Qing returned to Huaifenghua.
He planned to find someone as soon as there was news about Murong Jing. But for some unknown reason, not only did Murong Yun not send back any news, but Qinglong Jiang Shangxiu, who had stayed here before, also did not come back after he left.
There were still people coming and going in the front yard, but the backyard seemed a little deserted and quiet.
Mu Qing stood in the corridor, eyes closed and silent.
Huaifenghua intentionally blocked those people outside for him, originally to give him time to deal with his personal matters seriously, but after he left Lin Langtian, his whole mind did not calm down, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state with him. Land, even worse.
"Are you waiting for someone here?"
A voice sounded behind Mu Qing.
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Mu Qing turned around blankly and said in surprise: "Mrs. Wang? Aren't you outside the city?"
Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing, his eyes fell on Mu Qing's face, and said: "You look like the sloppiest I have ever seen."
After that, he replied: "There are too many people coming to see you. Your aunt can't handle it all by herself. I came alone, and the others are still outside the city."
Mu Qing thought of Shaoyao and the others who were still outside the city, but she wasted time here, and blamed herself: "I'm sorry, I..."
"Hey~ You don't need to say this."
Wang Yeqing sighed softly, walked to Mu Qing, looked at the autumn scenery in the courtyard, and said, "I have heard about Murong Jing, and Jiang Shangxiu and the others have also gone looking for her."
"Your aunt is too busy. She asked me to ask you, why are you more depressed than before after you went out?"
Mu Qing's heart warmed slightly, and he understood that every time he was depressed here, Huaifenghua and the others would have to deal with more faces outside.
He had already regarded Wang Yeqing as an elder in the family. Since Wang Yeqing asked, he told Wang Yeqing what happened after meeting Lin Langtian.
It wasn't until a long time passed after Mu Qing finished speaking that Wang Yeqing said, "I didn't expect that she would help you and Miss Liu like this, but the more this happens, the less you can let her down. Do you understand?"
Mu Qing nodded solemnly, stretched out his hand to grasp the railing in front of him, his eyes were heavy.
He wanted to know where Murong Jing was more than anyone else, but because of this, he was more afraid than anyone else of hearing bad news about her.
This kind of torture from deep inside his heart made him subconsciously choose to hide here in Huaifenghua.
Wang Yeqing saw his performance at the side and said after a moment of silence: "I want to know, what exactly do you think? Or, do you really understand what you think?"
Mu Qing knew what Wang Yeqing was asking and said seriously: "They are all good girls. As long as they don't take the initiative to leave me, I will never give up on any of them."
After Mu Qing said this, he paused, turned around and asked, "Does Mrs. Wang think I'm too hypocritical?"
Wang Yeqing shook his head and said, "If you can say this, it's not hypocritical, but it's true that it's shameless. And if you think like this when facing Murong Jing and Miss Liu, then you and they probably won't have a happy relationship." the result of."
Mu Qing's face froze.
Wang Yeqing looked at him and said: "I can probably guess that your aunt supports you, and she won't speak so seriously like me. Do you know what your biggest problem is? It's also you who have trapped yourself now. The biggest reason?”
Mu Qing looked at Wang Yeqing longingly.
Wang Yeqing raised his chin slightly and said, "You are shameless enough when dealing with your feelings for them, but you are so timid and have never been able to show the courage to match this shameless attitude."
"This is not a matter of you never giving up on them unless they take the initiative to leave you, but that you have to actively embrace them and let them feel your determination to stick to the relationship."
Mu Qing pursed his lips and said solemnly, "I'm a little slow in this regard."
"A bit slow?" Wang Yeqing sneered: "I look down on you now."
Wang Yeqing said with sarcastic eyes: "In the relationship between men and women, you can find various reasons to prove that they are not suitable for each other. But if this is the case, then why do you have to shout that you want to be with them all. "
"Because they love you, they can sacrifice everything for you?"
Mu Qing was said to be ashamed.
Wang Yeqing expressed his withdrawal without concealment, which also allowed Mu Qing to see his deeper heart. I don't know when it started, but Lin Langtian had become a haze that hung over him and Liu Weirui.
Now this haze has expanded and spread, eroding his relationship with Murong Jing.
This was entirely Mu Qing's inner thoughts, but Lin Langtian's unabashed disgust and obstruction, as well as Murong Jing's initiative to help, made Mu Qing, who was facing this situation for the first time, really caught off guard.
In many things, we often make up our minds at the first moment that we want to be together all the time, but at the next moment, because we can't find a way to be together, we stay put in frustration.
Wang Yeqing looked at the changing expression on Mu Qing's face and said, "Did the Lin family head put pressure on you? Or do you yourself not believe that you can do it?"
Mu Qing said bitterly: "I can't find a way now."
Wang Yeqing's eyes moved slightly: "Isn't it normal to not be able to find a solution now? Didn't you prepare for this when you first met the head of the Lin family?"
Mu Qing looked up at the thin and distant sky above his head, and the congestion in his chest eased a little, and he said slowly: "Her leaving without saying goodbye woke me up. I may lose them at any time, and I have no ability to protect them."
Wang Yeqing shook his head and laughed: "If I hadn't seen you like this, I would have almost forgotten that you are actually a young man younger than Xiu Wei."
"You know what? You gave people such a strong impression before that even I subconsciously ignored your age."
Mu Qing's eyes flashed and he looked at Wang Yeqing.
Wang Yeqing said: "Haven't you seen it yet? Compared with people like the Lin family leader, the most important thing you lack is time. In the same ten or twenty years, he may still be in the same state as he is now, and you may have already The ability to barely face the opponent head-on."
After hearing this, Mu Qing's depression suddenly disappeared.
Yes, I still have time, so why must I pursue an impossible and satisfactory result at this time?
Mu Qing's eyes were much less confused. Wang Yeqing on the side clearly saw this scene, raised the corner of his mouth, and said seriously: "Your aunt and I both wish you well, but she and I are different. She probably hopes that you can be safe." The land is fine, but I feel that if you want to do this, it’s impossible not to face some threats.”
"Those people in Hidden Valley haven't been able to find Murong Jing after searching for so long. I have an intuition that if there is one person in the world who can find Murong Jing, it must be you."
Hearing Murong Jing, Mu Qing's heart felt like a needle pricking his heart. Now he was really looking forward to but also afraid of waiting for bad news.
Wang Yeqing, who only listened to the side, continued: "It was Bai Hao, monsters, and the Gu family before. These dangers have come through. Now this matter is very important to me, but don't regard it as a hardship." , and should be regarded as a journey that will eventually reach a happy ending.”
"The most important thing you need to do now is to find Murong Jing, and the last thing you need to do in the future is to improve your strength and work hard to improve your strength."
Wang Yeqing's voice seemed to have a powerful magic power. Mu Qing listened to her talking beside him. Not only did his mood calm down, but his mind also started to follow what she said. He only felt the haze that had shrouded his head before. It doesn't matter, the road ahead has always been at his own feet.
"Mrs. Wang."
"Um."
Mu Qing called Wang Yeqing, and Wang Yeqing turned to look at him.
Mu Qing opened his mouth and held back the "thank you" that was already in his mouth. Wang Yeqing seemed to know what he just wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, we don't want you to lose her."
Before Mu Qing left, he went to the lobby in the front yard.
In the lobby, Huaifenghua sat at the top, and beside her was Xing Fei. When Mu Qing came in, Xing Fei was the first to stand up and shout: "City Lord."
Mu Qing paused slightly, her eyes fell on his tired and haggard face, and she nodded to him with an apologetic look: "Commander Xing."
Mu Qing looked at Huaifenghua.
Huaifenghua was still sitting on the chair, supporting her chin with one arm. When she saw Mu Qing looking at her, she asked calmly: "Have you finally thought about it?"
Perhaps it was because of the ending of Lin Xiao and her sister Bai Xueyue. Even though Mu Qing was now the city lord and it was the right time and the right place, Huaifenghua was still not very supportive of Mu Qing's decision to become the city lord.
Of course, knowing how much others have paid, she would not object directly.
She gave all the rights of choice to Mu Qing. No matter what choice Mu Qing made, she would support it unconditionally.
Hearing Mu Qing's name to Xing Fei and thinking of Wang Yeqing who met Mu Qing, Huai Fenghua also had the answer in her heart.
Mu Qing nodded heavily and turned to look at the other people in the lobby.
Seeing Xing Fei standing there, these people stood up in a wise manner.
"Lord City Lord, are your injuries better? I have sent some medicinal materials. I hope they can be helpful to you."
Mu Qing looked at the speaker. He had some impression that when Chen Zhuo and Xing Fei contacted Hidden Valley and various families in the city to sit at the negotiation table, Xie Ming, who represented the Xie family, had a clear attitude to please him.
Mu Qing nodded towards Xie Ming: "Thank you more for your family master's kindness. I'm fine now."
As soon as Mu Qing said this, everyone in the lobby looked at Xie Ming, and Xie Ming also looked ecstatic after a brief moment of astonishment.
Mu Qing was a little confused when he saw this scene.
He still didn't know that the Xie family had not decided on the head of the family since Xie Xiu was killed by Chen Zhuo. It could be said that Mu Qing's words at this time had already decided the head of the Xie family, the "Xie on the Wall" in Suzaku City. select.
Of course, even if someone reminds Mu Qing of this, Mu Qing will not care.
Seeing Mu Qing's serious face, the others also fell silent after the initial discussion.
Huai Fenghua and Xing Zuo, who were at the top, saw this scene, looked at each other, and nodded.
Mu Qing was much calmer than before, and he seemed to have the aura that a city lord should have.
Mu Qing did not let these people have random suspicions. He said in a deep voice: "The vast majority of people present are people who have made an agreement with me that day. Now that the experts sent by Baidi City have also retreated, I believe that in the next There will be no more fighting in Suzaku City for a while.”
Although the people present had their own sources of information and had asked Xing Fei and Huaifenghua many times, after hearing Mu Qing's assurance with their own ears, these people's expressions subconsciously became more relaxed.
Someone was about to ask about other things, but Mu Qing shook his head and said: "The chaos just ended yesterday. You can restrain your own people during this time and don't cause trouble. This is your greatest support to me."
That person didn't expect that Mu Qing would directly answer everyone's questions with one sentence. Someone hesitated and said, "Excuse me, City Lord, how long will this rest period be?"
The speaker looked worried and added: "The city lord may not know yet. After the city defense army was broken up, the order in Suzaku City has collapsed and the people's livelihood has become unsustainable."
Mu Qing frowned. He was still inexperienced. In fact, he should have expected that these people would not be so easy to deal with.
Mu Qing looked at Xing Fei and said: "The inner city has become a real ruin. Now all the troops in the outer city are under the jurisdiction of Commander Xing. You can ask him about the specific matters. As for people's livelihood issues."
A tall and fat figure appeared in Mu Qing's mind, and he didn't know if Chen Zhuo was in better condition now.
"Leave it to us."
Wang Yeqing came to the lobby at some unknown time. She walked to Huaifenghua, looked at everyone and said: "Suzaku City has lost a lot of people in the past few days. Although it will affect people's livelihood, it will not cause people to starve to death. This kind of This is a time when we really need your generosity and help.”
Mu Qing silently discovered that now that he was the city lord, he could really let nature take its course and leave matters to those close to him.
However, Mu Qing looked at the crowd and said, feeling apologetic that he had been hiding away before, "You should go back now and try your best to cooperate with the army in improving order and various issues related to people's livelihood. After the regulations are clearly summarized and sorted out, in three days, the unified Discuss. When the time comes, it will be time to fulfill some of the things I promised you before."
Every change of power will be accompanied by a wave of new people replacing old ones.
Although Mu Qing doesn't like this kind of power-related transaction, he also understands that this is currently the best way to quickly stabilize the situation in Suzaku City.
Sure enough, when those people heard that Mu Qing was going to fulfill something, they all slapped their chests to ensure the lives of the people within their sphere of influence.
"City Lord, I'll leave first."
Xing Fei walked up to Mu Qing holding his helmet and said.
Mu Qing said: "We have to trouble Brother Xing during this period."
Xing Fei shook his head. He looked deeply at Mu Qing. As he walked out of the lobby, he said with a smile: "Do you know? This is already a good result. If anyone dares to destroy it, the Guards will run over them. of."
At this time, Wang Yeqing had already told Huaifenghua about the meeting between Mu Qing and Lin Langtian.
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing and said, "This is the Murong Jing I know. I will try to refine the elixir, and you will be responsible for bringing her back."
Mu Qing thought that there were always people like Huai Fenghua and Wang Yeqing around him to help him. He was moved and at the same time strengthened his determination.
"Yeah." He nodded heavily and strode away.
