In the room, everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Qing.
Murong Xing looked at Mu Qing and said sincerely: "We had a conflict in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. Even if this matter is not brought up, it will become an obstacle to communication between the two of us."
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly, but still did not express his opinion.
Murong Xing sighed inwardly and said: "It is indeed difficult to change the first impression, but fortunately, the conflict in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers did not cause any irreversible conflict, right?"
"Also, it must be noted that the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers at that time was still part of the Hidden Valley, and I did not deliberately target it at that time."
Mu Qing said expressionlessly: "You don't need to explain so much, and you don't need to try to change my opinion of you."
Murong Xing's eyes darkened, but Mu Qing's words made his expression much more vivid.
"You are now representing the White Emperor, and my current identity is the city lord of Suzaku City. This is also the basis for my willingness to talk to you."
"Okay." Murong Xing sighed softly, glanced at Liu Yueshan, and asked Mu Qing: "So what Manager Liu means, is this what you mean?"
Mu Qing nodded lightly: "Lifting the blockade of Suzaku City is indeed a good condition, but I don't need anything else."
After a brief silence, Murong Xing chuckled and said, "You are very confident."
Mu Qing frowned and said: "This has nothing to do with self-confidence. In the military, I have the support of Xing Fei. In civil and government affairs, in addition to the old system, I have more people around me. This is a fact."
Murong Xing suppressed the smile on his face and looked more solemn, "That's true. But you should understand that if you can get the support of orthodoxy, it will be of great help to the recovery of this city. Various contacts and exchanges will also reduce a lot of unnecessary chaos internally, and those outside will be more cooperative with you."
Cao Jin nodded at the side and said seriously: "There are many ways to destroy order, and violence is probably the simplest one. But if you want to establish order, you can no longer rely on violence. Predictable stability is the key to the current city." Most needed.”
"Of course..." Seeing that Mu Qing still didn't show any inclination, Cao Jin paused and frowned: "If you don't care about how this city will develop in the future, then you really don't need us. But you Is he such a person?"
Mu Qing's gaze turned slightly and landed on Cao Jin's face.
Cao Jin's words reminded him of some unpleasant memories. Mu Qing half-squinted his eyes and said: "I don't think I will owe them anything. In order to save them, I was injured, and even almost lost the people around me." Life."
Mu Qing did not question Cao Jin fiercely, but simply stated the facts in a calm tone. However, Cao Jin, who had been meeting his gaze with a calm face, tilted his head uncomfortably.
"Hey~" Murong Xing relieved Cao Jin from the siege, and he said leisurely: "The inner city is now in ruins, and those who escaped really owe you a life-saving grace."
"But I can feel that even in the future, you will not use this as a way to show off your achievements."
Mu Qing glanced at Murong Xing lightly. Murong Xing did know a lot about him, but it was still not necessary for him to accept the so-called orthodox recognition.
Seeing that Mu Qing had been refusing to express his position, Cao Jin became anxious: "Don't forget that you actually promised us before. We worked well together at the beginning."
Mu Qing smiled and said: "It was indeed you who told me about the Gu family, and I also believe that you should have helped persuade the emperor in Baidi City. But what happened? Didn't anyone from the Gu family come?"
"If it weren't for our previous contact, then you would definitely be my enemies."
"You!" Cao Jin was furious, but found that he couldn't refute what Mu Qing said.
Because after those people from the Gu family really appeared in Suzaku City, he immediately gave up on Mu Qing.
For a moment, the only thing left in the room was Cao Jin's rapid breathing. Murong Xing picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He nodded to Liu Yueshan and said, "This is the unique scented tea of Wanhua Valley. I haven't had it for many years."
He looked at Mu Qing and said: "Negotiations rarely satisfy both parties in one go. If you are unwilling to accept the orthodox recognition from Baidi City, then put it on hold for now."
"I plan to take out
If you are more sincere, I wonder if you are willing to reduce your hostility towards me a little bit. "
Murong Xing took out a sealed envelope from his sleeve and placed it on the tea table next to him, "In it is a list of people who have contacted us during this period, the top few people on the list, and the city defense We have close relations with the army, and I think if I gave this list to Chen Zhuo or the Guards, they would be very happy."
Mu Qing's eyes fell on the envelope, and after a moment he raised his head and asked, "You directly betrayed those people like this?"
Murong Xing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he chuckled: "If you want to say that if I betrayed them, they might betray you, then you can rest assured, because I didn't promise these people anything at all. It was these people who found me themselves."
"And, in my eyes, if it can reduce your hostility towards me, it is much more valuable than the refuge of those people."
Mu Qing wanted to let Yan Qing and the others, who were extremely angry and depressed but had not found any clues, be placed quietly on the table in front of them. He couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, but he controlled his emotions and asked: "What do you want? What do you want to exchange this letter for?"
"I said that if this letter can reduce your hostility towards me... Well, it seems that I am too anxious, so I will use this letter in exchange for you answering my question."
Seeing Mu Qing's face turn serious, Murong Xing shook his head and said helplessly.
Mu Qing nodded: "Okay."
Murong Xing's eyes didn't shine, and with a wave of his hand, the envelope in front of him stopped in front of Mu Qing, "I want to know the true relationship between that lady and you."
After Gu Yan and the others left Zhuque City, they stopped at Baidi City and briefly explained some situations to Baidi. However, perhaps because of the presence of Lin Langtian, or perhaps because they felt that their mission had failed, they did not explain to Baidi. The relationship between Mu Qing and the Lin family was only summed up by the word "complicated".
This made the emperor in Baidi City angry but unable to express his anger. He could only let Murong Xing and Cao Jin, who were still in Suzaku City, have more accurate information.
However, when this relationship involves the Xishan Lin family and the other party is Mu Qing, it is not so easy to get the exact answer.
When Murong Xing asked this question, he thought of the information he had obtained from other channels in the past two days. Some said that the relationship between Mu Qing and the Lin family was excellent, and some said that the relationship was bad.
Now that the person involved was right in front of him, even Murong Xing didn't notice that his eyes were full of curiosity after asking him directly.
Mu Qing frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "She is my fiancée."
"hiss--"
Cao Jin took a breath of air, his expression of shock mixed with a few traces of indescribable happiness, "So the news is true."
Mu Qing glanced at him, "It seems you already know."
Cao Jin nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "It was just our speculation based on various information. It is completely different from your own admission."
Cao Jin looked at Mu Qing up and down, as if seeing Mu Qing for the first time, with a bit of surprise in his voice: "I also asked how could someone with your talent exist in Hidden Valley? It turns out that you were born early." It has something to do with the Xishan Lin family, so it’s no wonder that you don’t lack those rare and secret skills.”
"Oh, by the way, isn't the method of breathing food..."
"How far you can practice is up to you. Since I gave it to you, no one will trouble you."
Just now, Cao Jin felt that Mu Qing's appearance of not caring about anything was very unpleasant, but now he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
Murong Xing gave Cao Jin a cold look, and Cao Jin calmed down a little, but everyone in the room could clearly feel that after Mu Qing revealed her relationship with Liu Weirui, Cao Jin's attitude towards Mu Qing was simply... U-turn.
Murong Xing looked at Mu Qing with half-squinted eyes, and asked seemingly casually: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Lin family is the Liu family of Jinguan City. This news should not be wrong."
Mu Qing frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"
Murong Xing chuckled and said: "I forgot, I have finished asking my questions. But this time I am sending a message for His Majesty. If the senior is still in Suzaku City, I hope he can come to Baidi City to meet him. Well, of course, if He is willing to wait here, and Your Majesty is also happy to come directly to Suzaku City."
Mu Qing looked at Murong Xing calmly.
He felt some kind of temptation from Murong Xing.
Maybe in the eyes of people like Murong Xing, the people standing behind him are the Lin family of Xishan, so that's why Murong Xing was so polite from beginning to end, right?
Mu Qing was silent for a short time, shook his head and said: "I have only seen Senior Lin twice, once in the ruins of the inner city, and once in my home. As for where this senior is now, I don't know, because I didn’t see him again.”
Murong Xing's eyes moved slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he cast an apologetic look at Mu Qing: "I'm sorry, the whereabouts of that kind of senior are really beyond our ability to understand. Maybe he is watching here right now. "
Murong Xing looked around the room, his sitting figure relaxed slightly: "In short, His Majesty's intention is to bring you here."
Mu Qing looked down at the envelope in front of him, then raised his head and asked Murong Xing: "Besides, is there anything else you want to say?"
Murong Xing understood what Mu Qing meant and said helplessly: "By handing this letter to you, I have exposed all the potential dangers for you. There is only so much I can do in the city. Of course, if If you're willing to accept acceptance from orthodoxy, some of the risks outside the city will quickly disappear."
Mu Qing did not refuse directly this time, but asked after careful consideration: "Do you think that with the current strength of Suzaku City, it can occupy the entire Youyan State?"
Murong Xing narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Qing for a long time before sighing: "Hey, it seems that my vision is shallow. It is true that offense is sometimes the best defense."
"But are you really willing to do this? Maybe when you really do it, you can establish a more complete resource cycle in one state, but how long will it take?"
Murong Xing seemed to be inspired when he said this. His eyes flickered as if he was recalling the past: "It is said that neither can we break or establish, but if we really embark on the path of neither breaking nor establishing, if we don't have enough strength, it will be nothing more than jumping out of a small quagmire. Go to a bigger swamp."
"Perhaps you can get support from the Western Mountain Realm and go to the step of breaking everything and re-establishing order, but it will only expand Suzaku City to a state. Are you really ready?"
Mu Qing waited for Murong Xing to finish speaking, then slowly said: "I think you have misunderstood something. I am still just stating a fact. With the strength on my side, it is completely a situation where I can advance, attack, retreat and defend. , why should we get recognition from somewhere else?”
Murong Xing came back to his senses, thought carefully about Mu Qing's words, and asked meaningfully after a moment: "When you say retreat, do you mean retreat to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers?"
Mu Qing frowned slightly and looked at Murong Xing coldly: "Is there anything you can't do?"
Murong Xing shook his head and said, "It's not impossible. The Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is indeed a good place, but the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley still belongs to the Hidden Valley. Are you still planning to get entangled with the Hidden Valley?"
Huai Cao Shi, who had been sitting silently by the side, couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at Murong Xing and said coldly: "Even if Wanhua Valley wants to leave Hidden Valley, they will not become enemies with Hidden Valley. You don't need to sow discord here."
Murong Xing nodded lightly: "I understand this. Although I did not enter the inner city that day, I also know that even my stubborn elder brother took action. At this time, the relationship between Ten Thousand Flower Valley and Hidden Valley is the most harmonious. when."
"But..." Murong Xing looked at Mu Qing and asked seriously: "Because of Murong Jing, can you still accept my eldest brother?"
"This is our business, you don't need to worry about it."
Mu Qing said word for word.
Murong Xing seemed not to have heard Mu Qing's words and continued: "I haven't heard any news related to Murong Jing in the past few days, so I can only judge some things based on the actions of those in Hidden Valley."
"She...was seriously injured, right?"
Mu Qing's eyes suddenly condensed. Although there was still no aura exposed, the hostility that wanted to take action could not be concealed.
Murong Xing sighed helplessly, probably because he no longer expected to establish a good relationship with Mu Qing. His whole temperament was colder than before, "If you need anything, you can ask. I'm here with you today." It comes with full sincerity.”
Cao Jin looked at Mu Qing, who had a cold face.
After a quick glance, he reminded me at the right time: "Although Suzaku City is a gathering place for all kinds of elixirs, if there are some particularly rare things, there will still be more in Baidi City."
Mu Qing relaxed his shoulders and leaned back on the chair, "Thank you for your concern. Her condition has been stabilized."
Murong Xing's eyes moved slightly and nodded: "This is good news."
Mu Qing glanced at Murong Xing and stood up from his seat, "I think you learned a lot of information today, which is worth the value of this list."
Murong Xing also stood up and said rather helplessly: "It seems that it is difficult for you to change your opinion of me in a short time, but it doesn't matter. There will be time in the future. It depends on how a person is. Don't listen to me or say it is short-term. The encounters are not enough to form a complete impression.”
Mu Qing took a deep look at Murong Xing and nodded: "Then let me see what you will do next."
