When Mu Qing walked into the room, Murong Jing and Liu Weirui quickly turned their backs to the door. Mu Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, my aunt and the others have already left."
Murong Jing turned around slowly and asked expressionlessly: "They shouldn't have any misunderstanding, right?"
Murong Jing had her long hair tied up. Mu Qing felt that her hairstyle looked familiar, and suddenly realized that this was the bun style that Liu Weirui often wore. Liu Weirui also changed her hair from the bun she wore before, with her hair hanging down. Only a wooden hairpin was used to tie a knot.
Seeing the two women expressing something in their own way, Mu Qing was actually very happy.
He intended to tease them, but seeing their uncomfortable expressions, he finally gave up the plan and said with a casual smile: "Of course not. There was no misunderstanding between us. They didn't say anything else just now. Even less so."
Murong Jing breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes fell on Mu Qing's face, and her tone was more solemn: "Since you are now the city lord, you should do what you should do as long as you are in Suzaku City for one day, and you can't blame everything on the king. Madam, they should have their own lives."
Being preached like this by Murong Jing was a very novel and enjoyable thing for Mu Qing. He nodded while listening, and after Murong Jing finished speaking, he said: "I will definitely try my best. After all, I said that in the future This will be our home."
Murong Jing's eyebrows jumped. After being stunned for a moment, she changed the topic: "Many things have just begun. You don't need to stay here specifically. We all have our own things to do."
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing doubtfully and asked, "What do you have to do? Your body has just recovered, so just stay here to recuperate for a while."
Murong Jing's face turned pale and she glanced sideways at him: "I only need two or three days to regain my full strength, but now that I'm out on the street, how many people in the entire Suzaku City can threaten me?"
Seeing that Mu Qing's face was a little embarrassed, Murong Jing's tone also softened a little, and she said seriously: "Besides, Murong Yun's establishment of the clan is too unexpected. Since he wants to have a good chat with me, I also want to know what he wants to do. Which step."
"Huh? How do you know about his establishment of a clan? I remember no one told you during this time." Mu Qing said with a surprised look on his face.
Murong Jing looked up and was speechless. Liu Weirui, who was standing next to her, looked at Mu Qing with strange eyes, "You hugged Sister Murong and said a lot last night, but you don't remember it at all?"
"..."
"!"
Mu Qing's face was already stiff. He vaguely remembered that he repeatedly promised Murong Jing last night that they would go together to find the place where she lived when she was a child. He had forgotten the rest.
"Those are probably my dreams."
It took Mu Qing a long time to hold back these words.
"Is what happened about Murong Yun true?" Murong Jing was very calm. She didn't seem to think of those embarrassing moments last night. She just subconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes with her fingers hanging down by her side.
Mu Qing nodded slightly and asked hesitantly: "Then what are your thoughts? Do you really want to agree to him?"
Murong Jing lowered her eyes and thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head and said: "The reconstruction of the inner city is no longer something ordinary people can complete. If Murong Yun can help in this regard, I can share the inheritance we got underground with As for him, as for the position of sect leader, this matter is too ridiculous, and I will not consider it for the time being."
Mu Qing suddenly remembered what Murong Yun said yesterday.
Both Liu Weirui and Ye Yun are younger than Murong Jing, and there is a powerful family behind them. They will always catch up with or even surpass Murong Jing.
Maybe having the support of Murong Yun and the others is a good thing for Murong Jing?
But precisely because of the existence of a powerful family like the Lin family in Xishan, it became a huge obstacle for him and Liu Weirui and the others to be together.
Every time Mu Qing thinks like this, he will truly see his selfish heart.
He was an orphan without a family before. When he could have a family now, he extremely hoped that this moment would come as soon as possible.
Murong Jing didn't know what kind of torture Mu Qing had gone through in her heart. Seeing that Mu Qing suddenly became silent, she finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Do you hate those people in Hidden Valley?"
Mu Qing shook his head, looked at Murong Jing and said, "I just discovered something suddenly."
"Um?"
"I always feel that what I do is good for you, but I haven't actually thought about it from your perspective. Well... I mean, if you have any ideas, just do it, but I hope you Let me know if you have any ideas."
There was a ripple in Murong Jing's eyes, and she was silent for a moment before saying, "It seems that you have thought about a lot of things just now. I am surprised that you just said such words."
Mu Qing asked curiously: "Did I understand it wrong again?"
Murong Jing pursed her red lips and smiled, shook her head and said: "No, it's not that you misunderstood. It's that you should understand our intentions. We all have a common goal, and everything we do is towards this goal. effort."
Mu Qing looked at the deep meaning in Murong Jing's eyes, then turned away to look at Liu Weirui.
Liu Weirui smiled back.
Mu Qing intuitively felt that after he fell asleep last night, even when he was not around the two girls, they had already made some agreements, so they seemed calmer than him.
Mu Qing shook his head gently to dispel these conjectures. Thinking of the goal mentioned by Murong Jing, he suddenly felt full of motivation. Since there is already a mountain of 100,000 in the West Mountain standing in front of him, what is the point of considering whether it is more or less difficult?
"My aunt and uncle have already gone over there. Wei Rui and I may want to go over there," Mu Qing said.
Murong Jing blinked, looked at Liu Weirui and said, "Uncle Liu must be wondering where you have been these past two days. I came to see you after I met Murong Yun."
Liu Weirui glanced at Mu Qing and agreed with a smile: "Okay, my dad is actually a person who likes fun."
"you……"
Mu Qing looked surprised and wondered if you had some misunderstanding about the excitement. Liu Weirui stopped teasing him and said, "Sister Murong came here because of me. What are you thinking?"
Mu Qing felt helpless. There was no problem for Murong Jing to appear as Sister Liu Weirui, but this kind of thing was extremely awkward no matter how she thought about it.
Murong Jing said: "I heard Wei Rui say that since Uncle Liu already knows my name, it is a very appropriate thing for me to go see him. If I can meet Senior Lin, I can also thank him for his help to me."
After Mu Qingjing was reminded by Murong Jing, she realized that Liu Chaoge had been in Zhuque City for two days. Although Huai Fenghua and the others had begun to treat his condition, they had not even seen their daughter. Normal things.
It was obvious that Murong Jing and Liu Weirui considered these matters much more carefully than he did.
…
Before leaving here, Mu Qing and the others were left behind by Liu Yueshan, and they drank a large bowl full of fragrant medicinal food. When they went out and walked on the street, the sun just passed over the city, and there were more and more people around. It is a time full of vigor and vitality.
"If we go there slowly like this, my dad will definitely scold me when he sees me."
One hand of Liu Weirui was held by Mu Qing, and the other hand was carrying a pack of steamed buns. While talking, she looked at the stalls that had been set up on both sides of the street.
Mu Qing looked at Liu Weirui like a little girl looking here and there, not wanting to ruin the beauty of this moment, until a huge steamed bun suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
"Well, what are you doing?"
Mu Qing looked at Liu Weirui funnyly.
Liu Weirui shook the steamed bun in his hand and refused to move it away. Mu Qing had no choice but to take a bite, and Liu Weirui suddenly showed a beautiful smile.
When the taste of the steamed buns spread in his mouth, there was a unique fragrance and a sour feeling at the base of his tongue. Mu Qing felt that people all over the street were looking at him, and he quickly pulled Liu Weirui away from here.
"Why did you suddenly want to buy so many steamed buns? Do you want to take them back to make amends to your uncle?"
"Ah, I saw that the aunt who bought the steamed buns had two children behind her."
Mu Qing was stunned, nodded and said, "I saw it too."
Liu Weirui frowned and said, "Then did you see what they were eating? They were so young, but they were eating whole-grain steamed buns. When they looked at me buying steamed buns, their eyes were straight."
Mu Qing was a little curious: "Then why don't you give the steamed buns to them?"
"You're stupid!" Liu Weirui turned around and glared at Mu Qing, "Can they eat it if I give it to them?"
"and you……"
"I know this won't change anything at all, but I think their family will be happier today. Moreover, if you really want people like this to live a better life, isn't it something that you, a big city lord, should consider?"
Mu Qing was speechless for a moment, and then became a little silent.
Seeing him like this, Liu Weirui quickly came to his side and asked in a low voice: "Don't put any pressure on you. At least their family still has food to eat, and all the things I just said are just excuses."
Mu Qing lowered his gaze, and Liu Weirui looked up at him. The Liu Weirui at this time was the Liu Weirui Mu Qing had never seen before.
There was no shyness due to the hazy love when she was in Jinguan City, nor was there the dull pain a few days ago. She seemed to have no worries and was as clean as the sunshine falling on her body this morning.
"Then what is the real reason?" Mu Qing asked.
"The real reason?" Liu Weirui looked down at the bitten steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile: "The real reason is because I heard Shaoyao say that someone once said after swallowing a big steamed bun that in the morning Being able to eat a steamed bun is the happiest thing in the world."
Mu Qing felt a pang in his heart, then burst into laughter. He grabbed Liu Weirui's wrist and ate the steamed bun in a few mouthfuls. Then he showed an extremely satisfied expression and said leisurely: "It's really great to be able to eat a steamed bun so early in the morning. The happiest thing in the world."
Liu Weirui had never seen Mu Qing laugh like this, laugh so loudly, and not care so much about the eyes of other people on the street, so she laughed too, but she cried while smiling.
A line of crystal tears quickly ran down her cheeks, and then fell.
Mu Qing panicked and quickly held her in his arms and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Weirui buried her face in his chest and said in a low voice: "It's nothing. I see you happy, and I am happy too."
Mu Qing opened his mouth, but said nothing. He just hugged Liu Weirui tighter.
After a long time, Liu Weirui finally seemed to realize that the two of them were still standing on the side of the busy street. They quickly broke away from Mu Qing's embrace and pulled him away from here.
The east side of the city was the area least affected by the disaster, and it was also the area where the most wealthy businessmen were concentrated.
Along the way, Mu Qing saw countless convoys filled with goods, standing neatly in front of the high-gate compounds. Sometimes people he knew from Mu Qing would appear in those convoys. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. , specifically to let Mu Qing see their feelings.
Mu Qing saw that the businessmen were willing to take the initiative to talk, so he pulled Liu Weirui to a secluded path.
"Those people were the ones who participated in the negotiations yesterday? They acted very quickly." Liu Weirui sighed.
Mu Qing shook his head slightly: "I only know one or two of them, but it really surprises me that these businessmen can prepare so many fleets so early."
"Haha, this is called not starting early without benefit. As long as one person does it, others will feel a loss if they don't."
Liu Weirui analyzed for Mu Qing: "And your appearance not only means an unexpected surprise to them, but also makes them feel that they can earn money by doing so."
Mu Qing said amusedly: "Just because you can have a good impression here?"
"Why not?" Liu Weirui asked back. She walked up to Mu Qing, stepped back facing him, and deliberately exclaimed in surprise: "You are a big city lord now! You must know the economic competition of Zhuque City. The official city is still developed."
Mu Qing caught up with Liu Weirui and hugged her, "I don't know if I am a big city lord now, but I am sure that Suzaku City is economically developed."
"Oh?" Liu Weirui struggled slightly, then changed to a comfortable position, holding Mu Qing's neck with both hands, and let Mu Qing hug her sideways.
Mu Qing enjoyed this moment very much. He thought about the location in his memory and replied as he walked: "If Suzaku City's economy was not developed, how could I have met you on my first mission? ?”
Liu Weirui blinked and was stunned for a moment. Finally, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then asked expectantly, "What was your first impression of me at that time?"
Mu Qing gave her a strange look, "My first thought at the time was that this girl's skill at disguising herself as a man is terrible."
"What?" Liu Weirui was not satisfied with Mu Qing's answer.
Mu Qing then said slowly: "Because you are so beautiful, you are a beautiful girl."
Liu Weirui's heart beat faster. She struggled as if she had jumped down and walked on her own, but Mu Qing held her knees firmly and refused to let her down.
"You said that my disguise skills are poor, but someone's disguise skills are good, and they deceived me and Xiaochan. Were you very proud at that time and thought I was stupid?"
Liu Weirui gently leaned her forehead against Mu Qing's neck and asked curiously.
Mu Qing pretended to be serious and said: "At first, I only thought about successfully completing the task, and I didn't think about it that much at all. But sometimes when I talk to you, I will think to myself, what a beautiful and silly girl... "
"I'm not stupid!" Liu Weirui raised her fist in front of Mu Qing.
Mu Qing lowered his head and kissed her fist quickly, "You are just stupid, otherwise why would you like someone like me?"
Liu Weirui thought Mu Qing was going to say something to ruin the atmosphere, but Mu Qing put her down and said, "We're almost there, let's walk over."
"So fast? No, no, where is this?" Liu Weirui looked around blankly. All her attention was on Mu Qing just now, and she didn't realize that this was not the way back.
Mu Qing held Liu Weirui's hand and said to her with a smile: "Do you still remember what I promised you back in Jinguan City?"
"What's the matter..." Before Liu Weirui could finish her words, she stopped and stared blankly at the shop in front of her.
Wang Xiuwei stood in front of the stone steps of the shop and walked up to the two of them with a smile on her face. Her eyes fell on Mu Qing and asked: "Sir, this is a newly opened rouge shop. I need to buy some for this lady." What?"
Mu Qing nodded and replied: "Thank you, is there a rouge called 'Yuanshan'?"
