Chapter 31: Night

Mu Cheng returned home to find out that the day before yesterday, Shen Bi asked someone to send him to take care of a golden puppy that was bullied by Mei Ziyan's raccoon cat, and after a cat and dog fight, the golden puppy was injured and ran away, nowhere to be found. A group of domestic servants searched for nothing in vain, and stood tremblingly in the flower hall and waited for the fall.

And the initiator who was about to be tried and sentenced was sitting in the arms of a woman who was smiling heartlessly and carelessly.

"Can't find it?" Mu Cheng looked at Zhuang Lian coldly, his eyes swept over the servants with a look of fear on his face, "A dog can't stand it, that's how you do things?!"

"Yu Shizi, it's true that I've searched all over the house and outside the house and can't be found, this ......" can't make the palace guards search all over the city with great fanfare. Zhuang Lian couldn't help but secretly cast his eyes on Mei Ziyan who was sitting on the side and the dumb slave standing behind her.

Mei Ziyan turned a deaf ear, stretched her waist and stood up and said to Mu Cheng: "Persimmon, I'm tired, so I won't get involved in your family affairs." Dumb slave, let's go. ”

"Mei Ziyan, take care of your tanuki!" Mu Cheng had nowhere to attack with a stomach ache.

"After persimmon finds your precious golden dog, you may wish to bring it to me to see, and no medical fees will be charged throughout the process, except for those with physical disabilities. As she walked, she touched the little fox's head, and said distressedly:

"Look at you, the hair on your face is gone, and you're stupid! If you fight quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, how can you almost be disfigured?"

The servants wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they had to hold back. Mu Cheng also calmed down at this time, and watched Mei Ziyan and the dumb slave walk out of the door of the flower hall, and had a headache.

The golden silk puppy is Shen Biyan's favorite thing and has been raised for many years. He knew that she had gone to see her twice after being named a former imperial official, but she avoided it, and everything he had been so eager to explain was finally buried in his heart. She probably had a light heart for herself, but the day before yesterday when she asked someone to send her golden puppy and left a message that she hoped that he would give birth to her well, his heart was full of joy of being lost and regained.

Who knew that in less than a day, the golden silk dog with a faint meaning actually fled because of the defeat in a cat and dog battle. How should he explain it to her?

No one saw the weird smile on the corner of Mei Ziyan's mouth, and she said to herself after she walked out of the East Garden:

"The camellia in Suiyuan should have bloomed a long time ago. ”

Mu Cheng closed his eyes and quietly thought about what had happened in the past few days, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said to Ming Shu, "Let Bai Xuan from Tingfeng Tower come here." ”

In the study, Mu Cheng said to Bai Xuan: "I heard that Dongfang Hengqing has been to the Pillow Bilou today?"

"Yu Shizi, Dongfang Hengqing and his escort Bao Huan have indeed been to the Pillow Bilou. ”

"What did they say?"

"They have been sending people to follow Su Wen and an old man from Xirong in the Moon Pavilion. Baek Hyun repeated the conversation between Dongfang Hengqing and Bao Huan word for word. Mu Cheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after Bai Xuan finished speaking, he asked:

"Shizi, do we need to secretly send someone to investigate the Moon Pavilion and the old man who is said to be a Broken Army Divine Soldier?"

Mu Cheng smiled, "Bai Xuan, why do you think Dongfang Hengqing knew that Pillow Bilou was our place and still didn't shy away from talking about his people's tracking and discovery there? He just wanted us to verify it for them, so that we could reap the fisherman's profits." Less than two years after he ascended to the throne of the kingdom, he was busy exterminating the remnants of the Flame Cult, and there was a shortage of military supplies and weapons, and our supplies were limited, so I am afraid that he had already handed out an olive branch to the Dongfang family. A month ago, weren't there two more Xirong beauties in Dongfang Hengqing's mansion? Dongfang Hengqing was eyeing Mei Ziyan, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink, but also to take a fancy to the two medicine mountains in her hands. ”

"What does that mean by thatβ€”"

"Bai Xuan, you have investigated and verified Mei Ziyan's identity, do you think there are any doubts?"

Bai Xuan shook his head, "There is indeed such a person in the Xuanyang Mansion in the Eastern Court, who has been checked many times, and there is no doubt; ”

"There is no doubt at all, that is the biggest doubt. That Xirong young man is not simple, although he has no internal strength, his sword skills are strong, and his momentum is just too good to hide and not show the dew, Bai Xuan, I want you to investigate all the information and even living habits of Helian Yue, the late lord of Xirong, as for the Moon Pavilion and the old man who sells knives, you just need to let people pay attention to their movements, and don't let them leave Tiandu easily. ”

"Also, if we cut off the arms trade with Xijon, we said that the mine had been exhausted. ”

"The subordinates know. And as for the doctorβ€”"

"There's no need to look any further," Mu Cheng waved his hand, "I want to see what she's trying to do when she comes to me." ”

Just to heal him of his heart disease?

In the early morning of the next day, a sedan chair quietly came to the Suide Palace, and Fang Dehai, an old eunuch with gray hair in his fifties, trembled and passed on the emperor's message, saying that he wanted to announce that the doctor Mei Ziyan would enter the palace to face the saint.

Mu Cheng asked people to serve refreshments to entertain Fang Dehai, but Fang Dehai waved his hand again and again and said that the emperor was waiting in the palace and could not delay, so he immediately stuffed Mei Ziyan, who had not yet faded from sleep, into the sedan chair.

Before leaving, Mei Ziyan said to the dumb slave that he should wait for her in the house, don't worry, she will come back in about two or three days. The mute slave nodded expressionlessly, telling her to be careful.

This night, Mei Ziyan really didn't come back, and the dumb slave lay on the bed with his eyes slightly closed as if he had fallen asleep. In fact, he couldn't sleep at all, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the sadness and regret on Sangri's face full of vicissitudes. Sangri must have recognized him, he had been by his side since he was eight years old, and no matter what he looked like, Sangri would never fail to recognize him.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed by the window, he jumped out of the window and chased the black shadow, the black shadow crossed the wall of the palace, obviously light and excellent, did not alarm the palace guards at all, the dumb slave climbed over the wall and chased towards the west.

He stopped in front of the man, grabbed his shoulder like lightning, and tore off the black cloth covering his face with one hand, and then couldn't help but be stunned, and his lips were silent: "It's you?"

"It's me. Su Wen simply took off the black cloth towel on his head, his long hair fell, and there was a beautiful woman like jade in the dark night. "If you don't come, I'm going to look for you. ”

"You asked Sangri to come to me?"

"Yes, it's just that I didn't expect that even breaking the army won't make you change your mind. ”

"In those three days, I told you that the Lord of Yuanwu is dead, and everything in Xirong has nothing to do with me. Xijon doesn't need a desolate lord, and I don't need that kind of top-notch power anymore. I'm a mute, not the one you're looking for. ”

"Then why do you still have the Jade Snow Wolf Tooth tied around your neck? Why do you still go to the Rejuvenation Valley to see the Wolf King? Although the Flame Sect's internal strength and mental method cannot completely restore your internal strength, it is completely possible to treat your internal injuries; not to mention that the elders in the sect are already trying their best to find the true copy of the Secret Record of Returning to the Yuan, why do you insist on going your own way to draw a line with the past?" Su Wen clenched his hands into fists, "Don't you want to kill the old thief of Heliansen to take revenge?"

"I say it one last time, I'm just a mute, eighteen years old, that's all. He sighed lightly before turning around, and his deep dark eyes looked directly at Su Wen's weeping eyes, "The covenant between me and you was made by my father, but fortunately, I was obsessed with martial arts in the first half of my life, and I didn't miss you for life...... Now, let's end that agreement......"

"Helian Yue!" Su Wen stared at his back, and the tears that he had been holding back finally fell, "I have been waiting for you for many years, looking for you for many years, ......and I have never given up; You've never been the kind of person who easily retreats and forgets hatred......"

"It has nothing to do with her. The mute slave with his back to her made a sign language in the air, a gesture she couldn't understand anyway, "I'm just, I have found a life that may be more suitable for me." ”

Stay by her side, watch her laugh naughtily, watch her sarcastic others, watch her lose her temper at herself, watch her go around in circles and painstakingly work on adult beauty, and he actually feels very happy.

And Xirong, his hometown is still haunted by his dreams, but he can never go back.

Because now he is just an eighteen-year-old mute, a useless and hopeless person for the country and the family.
