The conversation between Mu Qing and Murong Xing ended. Perhaps he had anticipated Mu Qing's reaction, and when he left, Murong Xing did not show much regret.
At the door, Murong Xing walked down the steps and turned to look at Mu Qing and said, "I hope today's meeting did not make you hate us more. If you agree to what I said at the beginning, you can contact me at any time."
Mu Qing stood on the steps without saying anything. He raised his head and looked at the quiet street, knowing that the scene at the gate had fallen into the eyes of many people. "If that letter starts to work, those people will scold you." Is he a traitor?"
Murong Xing thought seriously for a moment and chuckled: "Probably not, those people might get closer to me, and you won't expose me, right?"
Mu Qing's eyes darkened, and he looked at Murong Xing and said, "You give me a very complicated feeling. Maybe one day you can just talk to me on your own behalf, and the atmosphere will be better."
The upturned corners of Murong Xing's mouth returned to their original state and he nodded: "If you sincerely want to be the Lord of Suzaku City, then we will definitely have more opportunities to communicate."
Murong Xing deflected his gaze, and Huai Cao Shi stood next to Mu Qing, looking at him indifferently. Murong It can stay in the same direction.”
Huai Caoshi snorted coldly, and said directly in front of Mu Qing: "The reason why I came to Mu Qing with you is because you told me before that you would help us quickly stabilize Suzaku City, but what you just said Some things went beyond that and were more of a provocation.”
"Just provoke it." Murong Xing smiled helplessly, "But isn't it the fact before you?"
Mu Qing looked at Murong Xing expressionlessly, "You can go."
"Okay." Murong Xing and Cao Jin left simply.
Mu Qing turned around and walked towards the door. Huai Cao Shi followed Mu Qing and hesitated several times. Mu Qing actually noticed it, but after returning to the backyard and sitting down, he took the initiative to say: "Uncle, are you Are you worried about anything?"
Liu Yueshan had already gone to prepare lunch, while Bai Zhi left the room wisely. Now only Mu Qing and Huai Cao Shi were left here.
Huai Cao Shi looked at Mu Qing, who was sitting down and had a calm expression from beginning to end, and found that he began to gradually not understand this young man.
She hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I am indeed worried about something, but in this situation, I want to know what you think of me."
Mu Qing raised his head and looked at Huaicao Shi, who had a calm face. Mu Qing chuckled and said, "Master, do you think I will doubt you? I will face Murong Xing with a cold face, and I will face Hidden Valley with caution. Those people, but in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, we are family."
Huai Caoshi's expression was a little touched, are you family...
She turned slightly sideways and looked out the window in a certain direction, "I know junior sister doesn't like to see me and Murong Xing together. She thinks...she thinks I can't forget the past."
"That uncle..." There was a trace of curiosity in Mu Qing's eyes, but Huai Cao Shi was an elder and it was difficult for him to ask.
Huai Caoshi turned around and looked at Mu Qing, sighing softly: "Everything I experienced before has become a memory, and some of the memories are just sad, but they will not affect my current judgment. I just hope that we The Valley of Flowers can have a safe and peaceful place.”
"As early as when Murong Jing and I left the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was with me and my junior sister. From now on, wherever Ning Chu and the others are, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers will be there."
Mu Qing's face became serious and he said: "Master, please don't worry, there will be such a place."
Huai Caoshi pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Mu Qing asked: "Uncle, can you tell me your worries?"
After a brief silence, Huai Cao Shi said: "The impact of Xuanwu's death has never been released."
Mu Qing nodded, "I know this. There has actually been a real split in Hidden Valley, but this may be good news for Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
Huai Cao Shi frowned slightly, looked at Mu Qing and said, "Some of the news was told to me by Murong Xing. Speaking it out from me is more like provocation, but I think you have your own judgment. Before you concentrate on dealing with Bai Haoliu Xuanwu once secretly followed Shaoyao when he caused trouble
They later even set up a trap formation. "
Mu Qing's eyes were slightly cold. When he was dealing with that monster, Zhang Shaoyao and the others were indeed still in Suzaku City. Could Xuanwu or Murong Yin behind Xuanwu be so impatient to wait?
Seeing Mu Qing's cold expression, Huai Cao Shi paused for a moment before continuing: "When I heard Murong Xing tell the news, my first reaction was actually to question it, but he said that we can go and verify it, because the formation that was later destroyed It’s not them who are punished, but Jiang Shangxiu.”
Jiang Shangxiu...
The thoughts in Mu Qing's mind suddenly became clear. Perhaps just when he was risking his life to fight the monsters, Murong Yin and Murong Yun had already started a fight over the safety of the people in Wanhua Valley. If those people from the Gu family hadn't appeared, Maybe the problem has already broken out.
Mu Qing was silent for a while and asked quietly: "What if we go to Jiang Shangxiu for confirmation and he says that this is not the case?"
Huai Caoshi half-squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "Xuanwu is dead. His betrayal was sudden. If you think carefully about why he chose to betray at that juncture, it can actually prove the authenticity of some things."
Mu Qing quickly understood the meaning of Huai Cao's poem: "The reason why Xuanwu did that was because he found that Murong Yin couldn't protect him. Maybe when the time is right, Murong Yun will take action against him?"
Huai Caoshi was slightly moved, "That's indeed what I guessed, but no one knows what the fight between the two brothers Murong Yun and Murong Yin will turn into."
Mu Qing felt a little heavy. He recalled the scene where Murong Yun fought forcefully to hold Gu Yan back, and also recalled the scene where Xuanwu tried to catch Huaifenghua but was killed with a sword.
He had a very good impression of Murong Yun.
It seems that no matter what aspect you look at, Murong Yun will be the staunchest ally of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, but what if Murong Yun represents Hidden Valley and the Murong family?
A person can have many identities. Which identity will Murong Yun choose after the situation stabilizes?
Seeing Mu Qing frowning and saying nothing, Huai Cao Shi blamed himself and said: "In my heart, Baidi City represented by Murong Xing cannot be our ally, and if Murong Yun can't really represent Yin Valley will probably also become a limitation of our Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
Mu Qing heard some hidden meanings, frowned slightly, looked at Huai Cao Shi and asked: "Uncle, do you want to find a balance between the two parties?"
Huai Caoshi nodded seriously: "Yes. This is what I think. Although you have never been on the inheritance genealogy of Wanhua Valley, because of the relationship between junior sister and you, the outside world has regarded Wanhua Valley and you as a whole. In the eyes of the families in Suzaku City, we are the City Lord’s Mansion, and in the eyes of Hidden Valley, we are the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.”
"Of course, because of you, some people in the Hidden Valley may no longer only see us as the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers."
Seeing Mu Qing's thoughtful expression, Huai Cao Shi sighed softly: "But one thing is very confirmed, we are a whole with you as the head."
"Me?" Mu Qing's expression changed and he seemed to have no reaction.
Huai Caoshi chuckled and said: "Is there anything difficult to understand about this? By your side, the biggest helper so far is Mrs. Wang. I guess she didn't plan to show her face when she returned to Suzaku City from Jinguan City, right?"
"All these changes can be said to be because of you."
Facing Huai Cao Shi's words that were almost certain, Mu Qing felt a little heavy for no reason. He raised his head and looked at Huai Cao Shi: "Then what do you want?"
"What do you want?"
Huai Cao Shi's eyes flashed, he tilted his head and murmured.
Mu Qing sighed softly: "Yes, even in this situation that seems pretty good now, I still can't relax because I don't think I can give back to..."
"You are wrong." Huai Cao Shi interrupted Mu Qing's words directly. She said with a very serious expression: "Everyone gathers around you and works hard for a common goal, and if you always think about giving back to everyone, , then it only proves that you and everyone else’s goals are not the same, and your heart does not belong here.”
"You are thinking that you can do more for us so that at least you won't feel so guilty, right?"
Mu Qing opened his mouth, but after a while he was still speechless.
Even though I don’t know his fight yet
After all, Huai Cao Shi could only see his complicated heart at this moment with some verbal details.
"Hey~"
A soft sigh sounded in the room.
Huai Caoshi said: "I don't know why you wanted to be the city lord in the first place. When you received the news from Junior Sister and the others, it was already a very clear and precise message. Maybe Junior Sister and the others were anxious."
Mu Qing said: "No, I don't regret the decision I made. If I have enough time, I will seriously be the city lord."
Huai Cao Shi half-squinted his eyes and looked directly at Mu Qing: "But what?"
"But..." Mu Qing looked at Huai Cao Shi, paused for a moment, and told Huai Cao Shi his future plans.
After half a cup of tea, Huai Cao Shi was already sitting next to Mu Qing. She frowned and did not let go, "Does junior sister know about this?"
Mu Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I know. I haven't told Mrs. Wang and the others yet because I'm really sorry for her."
Huai Caoshi looked around the elegantly furnished room and agreed: "My junior sister and I didn't actually help much. She had to work hard whether she was dealing with Hidden Valley or the families in the city."
"But the more this happens, the more I suggest you find Mrs. Wang and have an open heart-to-heart talk with her."
"I understand. I will find a time to talk to Mrs. Wang alone."
Huai Caoshi breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to have realized something. She asked curiously: "So your cold attitude towards Murong Xing and the others is actually because you know that you will not be the city lord?"
Mu Qing opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Maybe, actually, even I haven't thought about it clearly."
Mu Qing noticed that Huai Cao Shi's face was a little heavy. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "If possible, I would like Mrs. Wang to be the lord of Suzaku City. With her ability, she will be able to manage this place well."
Huai Caoshi shook his head and said, "She probably won't agree."
"And have you considered this issue?" Huai Cao Shi frowned and said unhurriedly: "Even if she becomes the city lord and there is no opposition, it will be extremely detrimental to the stability of Suzaku City."
"Why?" Mu Qing said, "We all know Mrs. Wang's ability."
Huai Cao Shi continued what Mu Qing said: "Yes, that's it. We all know her ability, but what about the others? For others except me, it would be a real injustice for her to be the city lord. The words don’t come right.”
Mu Qing retorted: "We actually don't need orthodox approval."
"That's not necessary for you." Huai Cao Shi smiled bitterly, "When you first met with the representatives in the city, you were the son of the former city lord Lin Xiao, and your father was wrongly accused by Bai Hao on unfounded charges. Yes, you have sufficient motivation."
"And now, you are the biggest savior of those people who escaped from the inner city and are still alive. When these people who escaped from death finally calm down, there will always be voices to stand up and support you."
"But it is a pity that Wang Yeqing does not have the conditions you have except for internal recognition."
Mu Qing lowered his head and thought, and then asked after a moment: "Are these really important?"
Mu Qing wanted to continue talking, Huai Cao Shi raised his palm in front of Mu Qing, "Stop, I know you want to say the importance of force. Force is indeed very important, but just like you beat a Baihao, Baidi City's I will invite people from the Gu family to understand the truth. Violence will only breed violence. If there is an opportunity for peace and stability, then simply seize it. That is what we need to do most at the moment."
Mu Qing smiled helplessly.
He knew that this opportunity for peace and stability was not actually created by him. It was Lin Langtian who appeared at the last moment. It was the Lin family of Xishan who, like the Gu family, was among the top ten great families in the spiritual world, who allowed the people from Baidi City to Attitudes become blurry.
Seeing Mu Qing's expression, Huai Cao Shi understood that Mu Qing had figured out the connection, and sighed quietly: "Actually, I also admire Mrs. Wang's ability, but not to mention the threat from Baidi City, there are those in front of me. The family, which is still peaceful for the time being, will have different thoughts after a while if they know that she will be the city lord in the end."
Mu Qing frowned and gradually felt the answer in his heart.
"They will feel
Yes, Mrs. Wang can do it, so can they? "
"right!"
Huai Caoshi nodded seriously, "Some of what Murong Xing just said actually makes sense. Force can destroy the old order, but to establish a new order, it is absolutely not advisable to rely on force. To establish a new order, we need It’s a visible stability.”
"In fact, whether it is in the secular world or the spiritual world, stability represents some old and powerful rules, conventions, and justice."
Huai Caoshi stood up and walked to the window, looking at the clear sky at noon, listening to the sounds of the city in the distance that were vaguely restored to liveliness, and took a breath: "We can't make a bad start, otherwise this city will continue to be... It’s going to get worse.”
Mu Qing found that he could not find any reason to refute Huai Cao Shi. He also walked to the window, turned his head to look at Huai Cao Shi and asked, "Are there no other candidates? If Jianwen..."
"No." Huai Caoshi looked firm, "You should know that Jianwen has been a puppet from the beginning. If you really let him be the city lord, it will be a situation that is even more uncontrollable than Mrs. Wang's."
Huai Cao Shi turned slightly sideways and said, "Before the identity of the city lord is officially revealed to the public, Murong Xing and Yin Gu, who represent the White Emperor, will be staring at each other. Only you can reach a balance between the two parties."
"No one else can."
