After leaving Xianweiju, Murong Xiuming and Zheng Shi walked on the street.
For the first time, Murong Xiu Ming looked at the passers-by with admiration and said, "Mu Qing's ability to recognize people is indeed not bad. Wang Yeqing must be the main contributor to the recovery of Suzaku City to its current level. Wait until everything is over." , you can consider leaving this woman’s life for my use.”
Murong Xiu Ming thought about the happy days after getting rid of Mu Qing, smiling so hard that he could hardly close his mouth. When he turned his eyes to his side, he couldn't help but said in shock: "Now that everything is going well, why are you still so sullen? As long as Mu Qing Once he dies, this city will be ours."
Zheng Shi paused slightly, moved a little further away from Murong Xiu Ming, and said in a solemn voice: "It's not over yet, don't be too happy too early."
"Exactly." Murong Xiu Ming held a piece of silk in his hand and said with a smile: "The emperor's secret is in my hands. Now we just need to wait for the good news from Ling Shuzi. When the time comes, I will become the city lord and let you take charge. Isn’t it true that the Guards did not treat you badly?”
A trace of sarcasm flashed in Zheng Shi's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "We still have things to do now. The swordsman needs the position of Mu Qing's family."
"Oh... this is a small matter, go ahead and take care of it. I'll wait for you at Ancestor Murong Jian's place." Murong Xiu Ming said.
Zheng Shi nodded, and after leaving Murong Xiu Ming, he quickly came to the door of an ordinary house and said softly: "Master."
"Come in." A low voice responded.
Zheng Shi opened the door and walked in.
In the courtyard, Jiang Xingyuan, who was dressed in black robe, was sitting on the steps under the eaves, with a black long sword flat on his knees. Zheng Shi walked quickly to Jiang Xingyuan and told him about the Xianweiju box.
Jiang Xingyuan frowned and tapped the scabbard with his fingertips.
After a brief silence, Zheng Shi called out again: "Master?"
Jiang Xingyuan said: "Murong Yin has just left my place. He guessed that the swordsman is Xiao Gaofeng who switched to the Gu family. His current strength should be in the early stage of becoming a mortal."
A trace of gloom flashed in Zheng Shi's eyes, and he said, "Ling Shuzi warned Xiao Gaofeng not to act recklessly. With such caution, it seems that Mu Qing's strength is already above the early stage of mortal transformation."
"Murong Yin and I have studied this formation countless times. Even if Mu Qing is at the peak of his mortal transformation, there is no way to avoid it in Suzaku City. There is only a dead end. But they are still so cautious. Why do you think it is?"
Zheng Shi frowned slightly: "They may be just in case, to prevent Mu Qing from noticing. If Mu Qing wants to escape early, they will attack his family members and drag him to Suzaku City."
"It's possible." Jiang Xingyuan said, "Murong Yin also thinks so."
A flash of light flashed in Zheng Shi's eyes, and he said in a serious voice: "Master, do you have any other guesses?"
"..."
Jiang Xingyuan said: "You have finished setting up the formation. Ling Shuzi can activate the formation at any time, but they are still so careful, even afraid. If it is not a problem with the formation, then they have to focus on Mu Qing. , it’s Mu Qing who makes them too afraid.”
Zheng Shi smiled bitterly and said: "To use the energy of the entire dynasty to move the formation, in exchange for one person's life, Mu Qing is really scary."
Jiang Xingyuan said: "Lingshu came from the Western Mountain Realm. These people must know some of Mu Qing's trump cards, so they are so careful. Even if this kill is successful, I am afraid it will not be smooth sailing. So, I want you to leave Suzaku City now , go all the way north to Baidi City."
Zheng Shi was shocked, looking at Jiang Xingyuan's indifferent face, he was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that Jiang Xingyuan would see the situation so badly.
Jiang Xingyuan frowned slightly, took a short breath, and seemed to have aged a lot, and said: "I have been fighting with Murong Yin for most of my life, but his Hidden Valley is gone, and my desire for the independence of the assassin lineage has also faded a lot. Practice The entry level is even worse than that of you young people, but my horizons are still higher than yours."
"Shi'er, let's go. Baidi City will be the first to know what will happen to Suzaku City. If everything goes well, Tiannan will definitely be your world from now on."
Zheng Shi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then slowly knelt in front of Jiang Xingyuan and shouted for the first time: "Father
Dear, what about eldest brother? If it really fails, eldest brother..."
Jiang Xingyuan shook his head and said: "Murong Yun didn't go to Murong Yin during this time, and your elder brother won't come to me, so go ahead."
Zheng Shi said: "Father, take care."
Zheng Shi got up and left the courtyard without saying anything.
Soon after, at the city gate.
At the gate of the city, Murong Xiu Ming, who was wearing a hood, noticed someone walking towards him. His heart tightened and he was about to draw his sword, but the person quickly grabbed his wrist.
"you!"
"it's me……"
The person under the hood raised his head, revealing a familiar face of Murong Xiu Ming.
The two looked at each other in silence, and then followed the flow of people and left Suzaku City.
…
The winter night came very early, and the night was shrouded in darkness. The lanterns under the eaves of Jiuyou Tower were quickly lit one after another.
At this time, the officials of the City Lord's Mansion received a notice that surprised them: the new year is coming to an end, and all the notified staff of the City Lord's Mansion can receive a holiday gift and have a ten-day holiday.
These people who were notified were all ordinary people. Thinking that they didn’t have to stay in Jiuyou Tower to blow the cold wind, they left in just half an hour. Even the white jade square outside Jiuyou Tower became empty, faintly blending with the night. As one body.
The top floor of Jiuyou Building.
Inside the barrier opened by Xichuan Shi, Zhong Ling'er sat on the railing, her calves swaying in the air, and said: "Until now, Murong Yun has not gone to find Murong Yin, but Murong Yin and Jiang Xingyuan have both gone to stay with Murong Jian. Together."
Mu Qing hummed and said, "Maybe they think Murong Jian can bring them a sense of security."
Zhong Ling'er pursed her lips and asked, "Two people ran away this afternoon. Although they are trash, it's not good to run away. Why don't you care at all?"
Mu Qing smiled and said: "We knew what they would do in advance, how could there be such a low-level mistake? Mrs. Wang will handle it for me."
Wang Yeqing and Huaifenghua were also staying on the top floor. After hearing this, they said: "Henhe and Mr. Hu have already gone to Tieguzhai, but Zheng Shi is in the early stage of transcendence. Just in case, I also asked Gan Shu and Yu You also followed."
When Mu Qing heard these two unfamiliar names, he thought for a while and then remembered that they were the two people in the assassin lineage who were ranked first or second among the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking. He smiled and said, "The one Yu You cultivated is In the way of Shura, she will also obey the instructions of the city lord's palace honestly, Mrs. Wang is really powerful."
Wang Yeqing gave Mu Qing a sideways glance, "This man heard that you came back from Beihuang, so he approached me and wanted to see you, but I refused."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "He handles things beautifully, so it's not a bad idea to teach him some cultivation methods."
When Huaifenghua saw Wang Yeqing finished speaking, she walked to Mu Qing, looked in the direction of Murong Jian, frowned and said: "Murong Jing said she wanted to clean up the house in person, so you really can rest assured and let her go alone. With her pride, Maybe they won’t ask Murong Jian to help.”
Mu Qing said helplessly: "Auntie, Xiaojing is very strong. Even among the three of them, Lingshuzi, I'm afraid no one can be his opponent."
Huaifenghua was a little surprised. She turned around and glanced at the people behind her. Many people were on the top floor at this time, and Mu Qing left the protection of everyone to Xichuan. There was no problem with everyone's safety, but Mu Qing wanted to If one person guides the formation, will everyone else be left to Murong Jing to deal with?
Mu Qing seemed to see Huaifenghua's worry, and said patiently: "Lingshuzi can't escape from the formation, Xiaoyun will deal with Xiao Gaofeng and Gu Ci."
Everyone on the top floor looked a little strange when they heard Mu Qing's arrangement.
By the end of this game of scheming, it had become extremely simple.
Mu Qing, the city lord, was also surprised to let his two women face the enemy with such confidence.
Huaifenghua frowned and wanted to say a few more words. Xichuan suddenly appeared next to Mu Qing, nodded to Mu Qing and said: "The power of luck outside Youyan State has changed. The formation It should have been opened by Ling Shuzi."
Mu Qing's face became serious, and he turned to look at Bai Qingyi and Zhang Shao in the crowd.
Yao nodded to the two women, then looked at Xichuan, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Xichuan, I'm leaving this to you."
Xichuan smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Mu Qing settled everyone down and left the top floor in a flash.
Zhong Ling'er wanted to follow, but Mu Qing stopped her and was standing on the railing angrily. She turned around and saw everyone running to the railing. She pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Xichuan, I'm watching over here." , even if Gu Yun comes, it won’t be broken for a while, so go help Mu Qing.”
"I promised Mu Qing, so I have to keep my promise." Xichuan shook his head, looked at Huaifenghua and the other girls, and said with a smile, "Actually, it is safe everywhere. Do you want to visit the inner city?"
Huaifenghua was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Is it okay?"
Xichuan said: "Of course."
Xichuan waved his sleeves, and everyone in the attic disappeared with Xichuan, heading to the inner city.
Jiuyou Tower quickly became quiet, leaving only the lanterns still emitting light and a small angry figure.
"Why don't you take me with you!"
Zhong Ling'er stood on the railing, shaking her fists towards the empty night sky, and shouted angrily.
Xichuan's voice rang in Zhong Ling'er's ears, "Ling'er, the barrier of Jiuyou Tower was actually set up specially for you by Mu Qing."
Zhong Ling'er's face was stunned, "Why? What they want to deal with is Mu Qing, not me."
Xichuan replied: "You have used the Suzaku Seal to look down at the whole city these days, and you have been contaminated by a lot of cause and effect, which is harmful to your practice but not beneficial at all. But when the luck of the dynasty pours into Suzaku City, your real The spiritual body will also be affected."
After Xichuan finished speaking, the lanterns originally hanging under the eaves of each floor suddenly shattered and turned into balls of warm light floating around Jiuyou Tower. The halo spread out and turned into a Suzaku with wings spread, covering the entire building. The Jiuyou Tower was shrouded under Suzaku's wings.
Zhong Linger remembered something at this moment. When she touched her waist, she found that the Suzaku Seal had been taken away by Mu Qing. She immediately shouted to Suzaku: "Without this thing, how can I watch the fun? Give it back to me!"
The Suzaku formed by the power of the formation had a hint of helplessness in its eyes. When it opened its mouth, it turned into a mirror. The picture in the mirror was exactly the inner city.
Zhong Ling'er was now satisfied. She turned around and took some fruits from the table and watched them with interest.
