Chapter 43: Together
Three years later, in the newly built city lord's mansion, tomorrow morning the documents were being reviewed. At this time, Mu Xi tiptoed in. Ming Chen didn't raise his head when he felt it, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't make trouble, Mu Xi, do you have anything to do with me?"
Mu Xi knew that he had been discovered after hearing Ming Chen's words. She deliberately amplified the sound of her footsteps, and came to Mingchen with a very unhappy aura all over her body, only to see that she didn't say a word, she sat directly on Mingchen's lap and pouted and said with a very dissatisfied expression: "Mingchen, why is it that every time I come to your room quietly, you will be discovered?
Ming Chen heard Mu Xi's words and put the document on the table, kept touching Mu Xi's head with his hand and said, "Mu Xi, how dare I cast any spell on you!
"Then you say, why do you not even raise your head to know that I am here every time I come to you quietly?"
"We're husband and wife!" said Ming Chen, "so we have a good heart, no matter where you are, I can find you!"
"Cut!" Mu Xi said with a look of anger despite being happy when she heard it, "Okay! For the sake of your sweet mouth this time, I'll forgive you!"
"Thank you, wife!" Ming Chen said, "Mu Xi, should we go out for a walk!"
"Okay!" Mu Xi was very happy when she heard this, "Every day I stay in this city lord's mansion, I am almost suffocated to death!
"Okay!
After the two came to the back garden, they saw a hundred flowers blooming in the back garden. The fragrance of the flowers continued to invade the hearts of the two. The two of them were in a very good mood after smelling the fragrance of flowers. When they came to a lawn, they lay down.
At this time, I saw a flower blooming in the morning. Ming Chen took it off when he saw that it looked good. I want to put it on for Mu Xi. Mu Xi criticized after seeing it: "Ming Chen, you are really so beautiful with this flower, why do you want to pick it!
"Oh, do you wear it or not?"
"Don't wear it!" Mu Xi said that he would not wear it. But she still couldn't help but put the flowers on. After Mu Xi put the flower on, Ming Chen praised him: "Mu Xi, you are so beautiful!"
"Oh!" Mu Xi let out a death torture question, "Do you mean I wasn't pretty before?"
"No, no, no!" Ming Chen coaxed, "You will always be beautiful, but today you are the most beautiful!"
"Cut! You're poor again! I'll ignore you!"
"Oh!
"Stay away from me!"
After the two laughed for a while, the two gradually quieted down. At this time, Mu Xi said, "Tomorrow morning, now that the two races have been at peace, the academic exchanges between our human race and the demon race are becoming more and more frequent. Now everyone is living happily ever after. ”
"It is precisely because of this that Yu Shu and the others also left Xinyue City to go to see the outside world with Yuelu, Yuyun Fairy, and Frost Snow Girl!" Ming Chen said, "Mu Xi, when do you think we can live our own two-person world!"
"I think there will be a chance!" Mu Xi leaned on Ming Chen's shoulder and said, "After all, there are many talents from the two clans now. I think you'll find the right successor. And we've become gods, so you don't have to rush! I think that girl named Lulan is good. In addition to her good strength, she also has a very good character and excellent psychological quality. ”
"You're right!" Ming Chen looked at Mu Xi and said, "However, she is still too young. When she matures, I will give her the position of lord of the city. When the time comes, I'll take you to other worlds. Mu Xi, I feel that other worlds are also gods like me. ”
"Okay!" Mu Xi said, "I want to see other gods too!I wish I could be friends with them!"
"Yes, definitely!
"Hee-hee, you're so confident every time!"
"Aren't you the same!"
"That's right," Ming Chen replied, "after all, I've always been confident since we first met!"
"Really, it looks like you still remember the past!"
"Of course, until death!"
"Me too!". After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly. After a long time, Ming Chen returned to the room with Mu Xi in his arms.
Just as the two of them were about to rest, an attendant suddenly burst in. The attendant came in while coming in from the bed, and shouted in his mouth: "City Lord, City Lord, the Demon Clan's Moon Dew has a letter!"
When he came in, he saw that Ming Chen and Mu Xi were resting, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward. Seeing this, Ming Chen hurriedly said, "Ahem, what did you just say?"
"Oh! At this time, the attendant handed a letter to Ming Chen's hand and said, "The Moon Lu Tuo of the Demon Clan handed over this letter to the City Lord. The messenger said that there was something very important in the letter. ”
After receiving the letter, Ming Chen waved his hand to the attendant and said, "Got it!
"Yes!". After the attendant left, Ming Chen hurriedly opened the letter. Tomorrow morning, I read the contents of the letter. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Seeing this, Mu Xi hurriedly asked, "Ming Chen, what's wrong?" you look very happy!"
"Oh, Mu Xi!" Ming Chen said after handing the letter to Mu Xi, "You can take a look for yourself first!" Mu Xi took a general look at the content of the letter and said, "It turns out that Yuelu is with Yu Shu and them now. And they're in Heartmoon City now, and they want to meet us! That's great! Tomorrow morning, we haven't seen them in a long time. Just catch up with them!"
"Hmm!" Ming Chen also said very approvingly, "These guys are really good! Since they are here, they have to let others pass the message." I really don't understand! It's not like we don't have a place to live here, so why should they bother to find a place to live outside? And it doesn't let us know. ”
"Okay," Mu Xi replied with a smile, "Maybe they think that you are the city lord now, and you must be very busy with work." They also don't want to bother you. I think the person who can think of this, in addition to the moon dew, should be Yu Shu. ”
"Since they don't want you to know, then don't look for it. Mu Xi said, "And the letter also said that they will come to the City Lord's Mansion at night." Then we will set up the feast and wait for them. ”
"Alright then!" said Ming Chen, "I'll have the kitchen there prepare it now." ”
"No!" Mu Xi hurriedly persuaded, "This is a banquet between us and our friends of life and death. How can I let someone else do it for me! I'll do it myself! After all, my cooking skills are still very good!"
"Okay then!" Ming Chen nodded and said, "Why don't I help you do it!"
"No need!" Mu Xi declined Ming Chen's request, "I can still handle this kind of trivial matter." You'd better take care of your official duties!". After speaking, Mu Xi walked towards the kitchen. Mu Xi had just walked a few steps when he suddenly turned to Ming Chen and said, "Ming Chen, let's talk about it first! I don't care about others at this banquet, you can't drink anyway." You can't drink enough, and you get drunk when you drink. You must remember!" After speaking, Mu Xi glared at Ming Chen, and when Ming Chen saw it, he hurriedly smiled and coaxed: "Got it! Got it! You can rest assured!"
"Hmph! That's good!". After speaking, Mu Xi went to the kitchen and began to prepare for cooking. Seeing this situation tomorrow morning, I went back to continue to correct the documents.
Time passed in a hurry, the sun set in the west, and the bright moon hung high. Ming Chen and Mu Xi quietly waited for the arrival of Yuelu and his party in the City Lord's Mansion. But after a long time, Yuelu and the others still didn't come to the City Lord's Mansion. Mu Xi was a little worried when she saw this. She asked Ming Chen: "Ming Chen, do you think they will be delayed because of something?"
"Probably not!" Ming Chen advised, "or let's wait! ”
"Oh well!". As he spoke, Ming Chen suddenly got up and looked around with very vigilant eyes. When Mu Xi saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Ming Chen, what's wrong?"
"Mu Xi!" Ming Chen said, "I feel like there are other people around!"
"What!" Before Mu Xi could react, the doors of the room suddenly opened, and the lights in the room were all extinguished. Seeing this, Ming Chen hurriedly summoned the Withered Sky Sword. At this time, two men and five women appeared in front of Ming Chen and Mu Xi. Seeing this, Ming Chen asked, "Who are you!What is the matter with coming to the City Lord's Mansion late at night?"
"Yo!" said one of the women, "tomorrow morning, you haven't seen us for so long, you won't have forgotten about us!"
Ming Chen suddenly remembered something after hearing the voice, only to see him shouting: "Yuelu, it's you!"
"Not bad!" replied Moondew. "There are other people besides me!" As soon as he finished speaking, the lights appeared in the room again. Under the illumination of the lights, Ming Chen finally saw the faces of the others clearly. It turned out that the others were Yu Shu, the eldest grandson Zhongda, Bai Yu, Qin Yufei, Yuyun Fairy, and Frost Snow Girl. When Ming Chen saw them, he quickly took back his sword and said very excitedly: "Everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time!
"Yes, yes!". At this time, Yu Shu put his arm on Ming Chen's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that the Ming City Lord was in a period of peace. It's beyond our expectations that there is such a high level of vigilance!"
"Alright, alright!" said Ming Chen, "I am the city lord in front of outsiders. But in front of friends. I'm just an ordinary person! Okay, don't talk about it yet! Everyone sit down!"
After everyone sat down, Yuelu looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Tomorrow morning, the dishes on the table are so rich!
"No, no, no!" Ming Chen hurriedly said, "The dishes on this table are all made by Mu Xi himself!"
After hearing this, Yuelu looked at Mu Xi in surprise and said, "Oh! Since it was made by Mu Xi, then I must taste it well!" After speaking, Yuelu hurriedly grabbed a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. When she just put the meat in her mouth, Yuelu's face showed a very enjoyable expression: "Well! melt in your mouth! Okay! I didn't expect Mu Xi's craftsmanship to be so good!"
"It's okay!" Mu Xi hurriedly excused himself, "The main thing is that after becoming the city lord tomorrow morning, I don't have anything to do." So in private, I often study some recipes. As time went on, my cooking skills got better and better!"
"Oh!" At this time, Yuelu looked at Ming Chen and said with a smile, "Then Ming Chen is really blessed." When I get home from a busy day's work, I can eat delicious meals made by my wife. It's really enviable!" Mu Xi's face flushed when she heard it.
After hearing Yuelu's appreciation, everyone else hurriedly moved their chopsticks to eat. Sure enough, it was the same as Yuelu said. At this time, Bai Yu also said: "I didn't expect such a long time to pass. Sister Mu's craftsmanship is almost catching up with tomorrow morning. Alas, we don't have the same good luck as Sister Mu. ”
"What do you mean?" Mu Xi asked.
"This one!" Bai Yu explained, "We have been outside for so many years, and except for Sister Yuelu's cooking skills, our cooking skills have not improved at all!"
"Oh, is it?" Mu Xi comforted, "Bai Yu, don't worry! It's useless when you're in a hurry!"
"Hmm!" After hearing Mu Xi's comfort, Bai Yu nodded happily. At this time, Yu Shu looked at Yuelu and then at Mu Xi and said to Mingchen with a smile on his face: "Mingchen, if you met Yuelu in the snowfield. So what will it turn out of?"
"Uhhh......h Just as Ming Chen was about to speak, the others also echoed Yu Shu's words and asked, "Yes! Yes! Mingchen, what is the result!"
"This," just when Ming Chen felt embarrassed, Mu Xi said very calmly: "I think it's still me who is with Ming Chen now." ”
"Why?" At this time, Ming Chen, Yu Shu and the others hurriedly asked.
"Because," I saw Mu Xi smile mysteriously and said, "Love! ha!" As soon as Mu Xi said this, everyone else laughed. Seeing this, Yu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I still wanted to see if tomorrow morning would be embarrassed, but who knew that we actually saw a wave of dog food." Forget it!I'm not going to eat this meal!" After speaking, Yu Shu pretended to leave. When Ming Chen saw it, he hurriedly said, "Okay! Yu Shu, I didn't expect so many years to pass." Your penchant for mischief hasn't changed!hahaha!". As soon as these words came out tomorrow morning, they attracted a burst of laughter.
In this way, Tan Xiaotian and his entourage recalled the bits and pieces of their lives at the dinner table. In this way, in the process of reminiscing, time gradually passed.
The next day, Yuelu and the others said goodbye to Ming Chen and his wife. At this time, Ming Chen said, "Everyone, we have only seen each other for one night. Why don't you stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a few more days? In this case, we husband and wife can also fulfill the friendship of the landlords. ”
"No," said Fairy Yuyun at this time, "we also happened to be passing by Xinyue City here. I thought it had been a long time since I had seen you. That's why we're here to see you. Now that we have met. Then we're leaving, too. What's more, as the city lord, you have to deal with all kinds of affairs every day, and we will be a lot of disturbers when we stay in the city lord's mansion. Let's wait until next time!"
"Okay then!" Ming Chen no longer insisted on holding on after hearing Fairy Yuyun's words. He said, "Okay then, since you're leaving, I won't stop you! But can you let me take you to the gate of Xinyue City?"
The others all nodded. When the group arrived at the city gate tomorrow morning, the Frost Snow Maiden said, "Okay, tomorrow morning!
"Take care!" replied Ming Chen reluctantly. At this moment, suddenly three huge fireballs fell from the sky. When Ming Chen and his party saw it, they hurriedly dodged.
After dodging the fireball's attack, a figure appeared in the air. When Ming Chen saw it, he asked, "Your Excellency, who is it, and why did you attack us?"
The figure didn't answer when he heard this, and he continued to attack Ming Chen. Seeing this, Ming Chen hurriedly took out the Heavenly Shield to resist. After blocking the attack of the figure, Ming Chen took out the Dry Sky Sword and said, "Since Your Excellency doesn't say it, then don't blame me for doing it!" After speaking, Ming Chen took out the Dry Sky Sword.
Seeing this, the figure quickly flew away. Seeing this, Ming Chen said, "Everyone, the strength of this figure is extraordinary. I'll have to check it out first. Why don't you go back to Xinyue City first and wait for my news. ”
When the others heard this, they all said, "Well, then you go!", but Mu Xi said, "Tomorrow morning, be careful!"
"Don't worry!" After speaking, he went to chase the figure tomorrow morning. While the others returned to the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of Mu Xi.
