Chapter 22 (4)
Three days after this incident, Lu Zihuan led Youqing back. Because Mu Dinghua confessed, even if she was afraid, she could only tremble and walk away with the leper dog that was attached to her.
Xin Ziling thought that the matter would pass like this, but on the tenth day, there was a news that Lu Kun came to the door to hold him accountable. Of course, the accountability is not asking Mu Dinghua, but her Xin Ziling. The leper dog was also miserable, and it is said that he was killed by Lu Kun with one palm.
Xin Ziling stood in the hall without saying a word, listening to Lu Kun roaring to kill her. She originally wanted to argue, but now it seems that there is a father and a daughter, and they are all so unreasonable, she really has no need to argue.
Lu Kun came prepared for this, and if he didn't put Xin Ziling to death, the matter would not be over. Mu Dinghua sat high above without saying a word, and took advantage of Lu Kun's breath to bring a chair over.
Lu Kun snorted coldly and sat down heavily, with a hint of threat in his voice: "Your Excellency actually allowed a wild girl from nowhere to commit murder against Zi Phantom! I have been guarding the border for the Mu family for many years, but I have obtained such a result of conniving at outsiders to bully my retainers!"
Mu Dinghua looked at Xin Ziling who was standing aside, his eyes swept to Lu Kun again, and the words in his mouth were said to Mu Zixian: "Since I want an explanation for this matter, I will give an explanation, first escort people to the dungeon and lock them up, and then make a conclusion when I ask things clearly." ”
Lu Kun didn't follow: "Didn't I say it clearly enough?"
Mu Dinghua's calm voice sounded: "Old Lu, if you want an explanation, I will give you an explanation, but there must be a process in things, don't you say?"
Lu Kun looked at Mu Dinghua without fear, and after a moment, he smiled abruptly: "That's good! I have always treated you as a nephew, and I think you will not let Zi Xuan be wronged." I'll stay in the house and wait for you to reply. ”
Mu Zixian's eyebrows were furrowed, but he acted steadily, and walked to the hall with the two guards: "...... Miss Xin, let's go. Xin Ziling didn't say much, she had already heard of the relationship between Lu Kun and Mu Dinghua, and she believed that Mu Dinghua's move must have something unspeakable. Therefore, walk especially obediently. No matter what, she believed that Mu Dinghua would definitely give her a good explanation.
Lu Kunyin lowered his head slightly, his afterglow aimed at Xin Ziling, and when he raised his head again, a smile appeared on his face again, and the stubble on his lips was moved, he said: "The gentleman has always been kind to the little girl, the last time I sent someone to mention the matter of the two of you, the gentleman said that he would come to my house in person, I expected that the gentleman was here to propose marriage, but recently there was such an incident, I have come to the perched wood, so I don't have to wait for the gentleman to go to my place, and the matter can be settled here." ”
The voice was not loud or small, just enough for Xin Ziling, who walked out of the hall, to hear it. She paused, and felt that Mu Dinghua must not be ruined by Lu Zixuan, such words seemed to be a foregone conclusion, too strong but difficult to refute.
She turned around and came back and said righteously: "When did Your Excellency say that you want to marry Miss Lu, my lord, this is difficult for a strong man." ”
Mu Dinghua's eyes moved, and he heard Lu Kun snort and laughed: "If I don't marry Zi Xuan, do I want to marry you?"
Xin Ziling said: "No matter who you marry, you won't marry Lu Zihuan, if you want to talk about me, just talk about my business, what do you do!"
Lu Kun stood up and looked at Xin Ziling's eyes flashing with murderous intent: "What are you?" As he spoke, the sword in his hand was unsheathed and flew straight towards Xin Ziling. Mu Dinghua in the hall waved his hand, and a cloud of silver light restrained the sword and slowly pulled it back to Lu Kun's position.
Seeing that Lu Kun turned around, he said softly with the murderous look in his eyes: "Why should Lu Lao be angry, let's do it today." After speaking, he looked at Zixian, Mu Zixian understood, and pulled Xin Ziling away.
Although she was still very worried, she thought that after such a stir, it is estimated that no one is in a good mood to mention any family affairs, and this marriage matter can be delayed for a day.
Lu Kun was really unhappy when he was stirred up by Xin Ziling like this, and Mu Dinghua's stop was even more angry, and he no longer had a good color to stay in the hall, and he didn't even cover up the initial little in his words, and directly revealed his dissatisfaction: "Regarding the matter of the little girl, how did the king decide?"
Mu Dinghua gently rubbed his forehead with one hand, and only looked up at Lu Kun after half a sound: "Old Lu, I'm done with today's words, my head hurts a little just now, and I'll talk about it next time." It's rare for you to come to the woods, recuperate for a few days, and we'll come back to discuss. ”
Speaking of which, Lu Kun didn't want to exert too much pressure, so he casually saluted and turned around and left. Xiao Yuhou was about to lead the way when he pushed him violently and almost fell, Wen Lu, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, and led a large group of people and horses that landed Lu Kun in the direction of Liuli Pavilion.
Lu Kun has always controlled the main forces and is very arrogant. The purpose of this visit is obvious, that is, to force marriage, and by the way, to remove all the obstacles in front of his father and daughter. Xin Ziling saw this clearly, but she was very unconvinced.
But whether she is convinced or not, there is no way now, she is trapped in prison is like being isolated from the world, and it is impossible to do anything again. For some reason, the three floors inside and the outside three floors of this cell are very tightly guarded.
She was happy to be idle, trapped in the prison eating all kinds of fruits brought to her by Mu Zixian, and called a soldier guarding her to help her make a plate of roast meat, preferably a pot of good wine. The person who guarded her was very talkative, and not long after the words spread, Mu Zixian brought the same pot of wine as the roast meat she asked for with a calm face.
She was idle alone, and she beckoned to Mu Zixian cheekily: "Brother Mu, if it's okay, do you want to have a drink together." Mu Zixian ignored her cold eyes, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Mu Zixian didn't care if she left or not, she just asked casually to apologize for her non-stop support. She drank glass after glass, and after eating the meat and drinking the wine, Xin Ziling poured on the futon that Mu Zixian brought her, and fell asleep in a daze.
This sleep is exactly what she wants, as soon as she falls asleep, she forgets everything, she is extra at ease, and the place she goes to is also extra peaceful. A canopy of the sky, full of stars, although it is a pseudo-star, but can speak and understand her thoughts, it is not much better than the real but cold star.
In her sleep, her star began to tell her a story, a story that she seemed to have heard somewhere, and she thought that both the heroine and the hero were a little stupid, and complained: "What a fool he is, why don't you tell her that he saved her at the hands of the monsters?" ”
She added: "She has been with him for so long, don't you know that she already likes this person? ”
After listening for a while, she sighed, "...... I have to say, this is a complete fool, and this man is probably a fool to like her. ”
The story was very long, and she listened to it with more and more regret, and said in a deep voice: "Who is the person in her heart......? She's so bad, isn't she?"
Xin Ziling slept comfortably in a long dream, but she didn't know that the world outside the dream should have no less troubles.
In the courtyard of the side hall, under a huge dream-like tree, Mu Dinghua held on to a chess piece and was undecided, and finally decided to land the chess piece in an unexpected place. The white thunder-patterned tiger yawned, shook his head, shook the falling flowers off his nose, closed his eyes and fell asleep at the feet of Mu Dinghua.
Mu Zixian looked at the fallen chess, and wondered: "Isn't the king going to block all the roads?"
Mu Dinghua's eyes were open, and his voice was flat: "How can I win if I don't block it." Raising his head, there was a smile in his eyes: "Will there be a way for you to live?"
The wind blows the trees, like a dream flower exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance, Mu Zixian put the chess pieces into the chess box, looked at Mu Dinghua and said: "The person who contacted us last time has already started to do things, and it will only be ten days at most. ”
Mu Dinghua said: "This sneak attack in the Void Realm is a good opportunity, and the antidote I asked you to bring over has somewhat of a role. You'll have to worry about things over there. ”
Mu Zixian soaked: "Yes." After thinking about it, he said, "The dungeon's manpower has been increased, and it is already a seamless needle." ”
Mu Dinghua nodded: "Very good." He picked up a green jade teacup, gently blew away the small white flowers floating on the water, and watched the needle-like tea leaves rise and fall in the tea.
At night, Xin Ziling's wine finally woke up, rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking at the cell that had been cleaned up. After a long sleep, she no longer felt sleepy, she leaned against a low wooden table with her cheeks propped up, poured a cup of tea that had already been cold, and drank it slowly.
Isn't the story in the dream about her, she thought about it for a long time, is this her own inner demon. But she has never had one person in her heart, and she has only truly loved one person, and the so-called her in her dream is not the real her.
To this day, she still feels heartache when she thinks of Chi Qianxi, but she can finally recall this person calmly. Xin Ziling sighed deeply, and it can be regarded as a self-created thing, turning a good thing into a bad thing.
Just imagine, if her mother hates this person, then she will definitely be in a dilemma, whether she can hurt a relative who loves her deeply for this person, she is really difficult to make a choice now when she thinks about it.
It's just that he accepted new feelings and new girls so quickly, which made her sad. If it was her, even if he couldn't choose it for the sake of his family, he wouldn't be willing to marry another person. This is where he is really sorry for this relationship.
But her inner demon borrowed the fragments of the dream to tell her that she loved someone else in her heart, and she naturally knew who that person was, but she knew very well that it was just a dream from her youth.
The past things have passed, but she has never said these things to Chi Qianxi in the past, and these things should not hurt him. Perhaps, it's just that she feels guilty in her heart, so many regrets, she is also wrong after all.
However, these entanglements that only she and Mu Dinghua know really seem to be a half-hearted person, but that is not for Chi Qianxi, that is for Mu Dinghua. But Mu Dinghua said that everything let it pass, and everyone returned to the beginning.
That's what he said, and she believed. But in any case, she caused him harm, and although the injury may be insignificant to him, but after hurting him, she still accepted so much kindness from him, and it was really too much to repay so many days of kindness.
In addition to not seeing the light of day in this prison, she was offered delicious food and drink, and no matter how stupid she was, she could see that he was protecting her. I knew that Lu Zihuan was going to go back to sue her for this evil situation, so I let her go directly, there was really no need to do that verbal dispute, and I also scratched her neck.
Zixian had already told her not to make trouble for Mu Dinghua, but the trouble still came, because she didn't calm her breath. I don't know if Lu Kun has made trouble again, and asked Mu Dinghua to marry Lu Zihuan for this reason, if that's really the case, wouldn't it hurt Mu Dinghua miserably?
The more Xin Ziling thought about it, the tighter her brows became, did she get into trouble again now? Lu Kun supported the army and respected himself, and he has always been Mu Dinghua's confidant, and now he is forced to marry, if Mu Dinghua compliments, he will become a sinner at that time.
Thinking about it painfully, after thinking for a long time, she decided that she should be more righteous, asked for paper and ink, and wrote some words of advice, and instructed the guards guarding her to send them to Mu Dinghua as soon as possible.
The guard looked up and said, "Girl, it's midnight, let's send it tomorrow." ”
Xin Ziling said solemnly: "Go quickly, it may be late tomorrow." ”
The letter was quickly delivered to Mu Dinghua in the night. Mu Dinghua opened the neatly folded white silk silk with a dim oil lamp, and the words on the silk were small but powerful.
The letter read: Your Excellency, I should be responsible for this incident. If you have no intention of Lu Zifan, don't marry her because of my fault. If she has to give an explanation, please hand me over, believe me, I will have a way to get out.
With a hint of a smile on the corner of Mu Dinghua's mouth, he put the silk silk into a wooden box, dragged a coat from Mu Shi and put it on his body and went all the way to the dungeon. There was a shadow in the darkness behind him, far away, extremely stealthy that followed all the way.
