Chapter 22 (2)
On the night when she put on the pendant that Mu Dinghua gave her, she began to have that strange dream, Xin Ziling touched her stomach, thinking that the hot feeling in her stomach that day was even more sure that it was because of the pendant that Mu Dinghua gave her. She knew he cared about her, and this time it must be for her good. And that unknown friend, whether it is true or not, is always Mu Dinghua's arrangement to make her comfortable.
She felt very happy and relaxed in that dream, and all the unhappiness was completely forgotten, and some were just relieved. She accepted his kindness, and was very moved in her heart, and after changing her clothes, she specially brought a bag of new tea that was made by Lian Yi.
Mu Zixian was obviously a little bored waiting for her, and had plucked the well-growing ivy leaves in her yard, and Xin Ziling silently grieved for the ivy in her heart for a while.
She thought about Mu Zixian's lack of a good face for her and Lian Yi for a long time, and it came down to the two people who were directly related to him. Either this Mu Zixian is interesting to Ruan Yu, or it is interesting to Mu Dinghua.
But he has been with Ruan Yu for so long, and he has never said anything, and every time he meets, he never squints at the corner of his eyes, let alone talks to Ruan Yu, so only Mu Dinghua remains. Xin Ziling exclaimed in her heart, could it be that this Mu Zixian is interested in Mu Dinghua?
But Mu Dinghua didn't mean anything else to her, and those past misunderstandings had already been explained. But he is really good to her, maybe he gets along too long and takes this mode of getting along as a habit, for example, if a person reads every night, then falling asleep is associated with reading, and if he doesn't read it one night, it will be difficult to sleep that night.
Mu Dinghua had some entanglements with her because of the misunderstanding she created with him, and later saved her too many times, and it became a habit to take care of her too much. She felt that there was nothing to Mu Dinghua with or without her, but losing his habit would make him very uncomfortable.
She felt that she had to say something to Mu Zixian in order to dispel the misunderstanding. She said, "Brother Mu, do you have any misunderstanding about me?" she thought, and if he didn't answer, she would continue on with the topic.
But Mu Zixian replied, he said, "No." "It's strange, if there is no misunderstanding of her, why should he treat her like this? Thinking about it again, maybe he is embarrassed to admit that he is a big man and a little woman.
After thinking about it, I was relieved, and said magnificently: "In fact, sometimes a person's misunderstanding of another person is unconscious, it is a manifestation of his own honesty, and in this performance, the language is not real." Mu Zixian looked back at her, which encouraged her, and continued: "So, you are an honest person. You see, I'm also an honest person, and we're going to talk openly and honestly. ”
Mu Zixian simply stopped and listened to what she had to say. She also stopped, and stood face to face with him to show her sincerity, with two smiles on her face: "You misunderstood that Your Excellency likes me, but in fact, I misunderstood that I liked him, and in the end this misunderstanding made it a little complicated." But it turned out that he didn't like me, and I didn't like him. Do you understand?"
Seeing him look at her like an idiot, he took a deep breath and consolidated the smile that was about to be unbearable, and said, "He is very good to me now, and I am very grateful." I will repay you for your kindness to me. You think too much about the rest of Brother Mu. ”
Mu Zixian's eyes looked at her no longer like an idiot, but at an idiot: "I think you think too much." ”
She thought for a moment and admitted that she did think too much. For example, at this time she should focus on the war itself, not on the relationship between men and women or between men. Although she didn't know what Mu Dinghua was looking for her for, she wanted to take this opportunity to show her determination.
The perched forest is still like that, huge ancient trees, blooming rare flowers. The path leading to the inner courtyard is shaded by trees, and in the middle of the road there are bright spots of light that move from side to side as the leaves are blown by the wind. She walked very attentively all the way, so attentive that she didn't hear the inappropriate sound of someone beside the side hall in front of her for no reason.
The voice grew louder and louder, as if someone was shouting at whom. She came back to her senses and was about to take a look, but she hit Mu Zixian's back headfirst.
"Hey...... Brother Mu, I'm sorry. She rubbed her forehead and stood behind Mu Zixian as she spoke, but heard his polite voice sound: "Miss Lu, may I ask if you have done something wrong?"
"Get out of the way, I'm talking to the goblin behind you!" the voice of the visitor was sharp and absolutely aggressive.
Xin Ziling turned around and looked behind her, only to realize that the 'goblin' was her, smiled bitterly and walked out from behind Mu Zixian, but before she could speak, she received a hot slap on her face.
Mu Zixian was stunned for a moment and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Miss Lu, if you come up, you will beat people, if you see it, you will blame me for not doing things well." ”
Lu Zihuan snorted coldly: "No wonder you have anything to do with me, I just want to beat her! You dare to stop me!" The words were accompanied by a second slap and slapped down fiercely, but was intercepted by Xin Ziling.
"You let go!" Mu Zixian pulled her away for me!" Lu Zihuan twitched vigorously, did not withdraw his hand, and stretched out his other hand to grab it, but when he was cut off by the pain coming from his right wrist.
When a few servant girls who followed her were about to step forward, Xin Ziling shook off Lu Zihuan's hand and asked angrily, "Are you sick?"
Lu Zihuan was thrown off a few times, and was barely able to stabilize her momentum when she was supported by her maidservant. The anger in his eyes when he looked up went straight to Xin Ziling: "I thought he knew and was willing to fulfill me, and I had more or less in my heart, but I didn't expect him to treat me like this." I've never been able to figure out what to do today!"
As soon as the words landed, Lu Zihuan had already drawn out a long sword, and the sharp sword wind cut off Xin Ziling, and a strand of long hair passed against her cheek. Xin Ziling turned around and also sacrificed his long sword, stabbing at Lu Zihuan accurately and fiercely one move after another.
With a sound of "dang", Xin Ziling's sword was blocked by Mu Zixian, Lu Zihuan smiled proudly and was about to make another ruthless move when she was stopped by Mu Zixian, she said angrily: "Mu Zixian!
He glanced at Xin Ziling, who was standing on the side, holding his sword tightly, with a five-finger mark on his face, and replied to Lu Zihuan loudly: "Miss Lu! Please respect yourself! You must know that this is not the Lu family! You also have to know who has the final say in this perched wood, this west!"
Lu Zihuan was dumbfounded for a while, and glared at Xin Ziling unwillingly. Mu Zixian turned back to Ziling and said, "Let's go, the king is still waiting." ”
Xin Ziling exhaled a long breath, glanced at Lu Zihuan lightly, and followed Mu Zixian away. She knew that Lu Zihuan must be eager to kill her behind her at this time, but she was very happy to give her such a contemptuous look. If she can kill this Miss Lu angrily, it can be regarded as a merit of her cultivation.
Mu Zixian asked, "How can you explain to your lord with this face?"
She looked at him inexplicably: "Answer what is going on!"
He was a little unhappy: "Do you want to let the king give you a head? You must know that Lu Kun has a heavy army in his hands, and if you want the king to give you a head, it will put the king in trouble." ”
"That'...... I'll make up a story. She replied.
Mu Zixian stared at her with unexpected eyes and didn't speak, and led her into the side hall, through the small courtyard of the residents, and then walked through a large garden and entered a chic small courtyard. Xin Ziling looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard left and right, smelling the unique fragrance coming one after another. She had been to this yard before, and the scents had been planted in her mind before, and now she remembered them when she smelled them again.
Mu Zixian gently knocked on the door of a room on the left, and listened to Mu Dinghua's voice coming from inside the door: "Come in." Zixian turned around and glanced at Xin Ziling: "You go in." ”
made it so formal, which made her a little nervous, and she was full of curiosity about what Mu Dinghua was going to say next. She pushed the door open and saw him sitting behind a low wooden table, with a few wolf hairs and a few books hanging on the pen stand on the table, with a cabinet full of books in the background. This was his private study, next door to his bedroom.
"Ziling, sit. Mu Dinghua choked with an unexpected smile at the corner of his mouth, but when he looked up, his eyes tightened: "What's wrong with your face?"
She brushed her skirt and sat down, touching the hot left side of her face with her hand: "Oh...... You said this......" she said calmly, "The insects in the small yard bite me." ”
"It's like a bug bite?" he thought her answer was an insult to his intelligence.
She cleared her throat: "Listen to me, the insects bite me, and I hit it harder...... Fortunately, the bugs were also killed. ”
He laughed and said, "Do you know that you like to clear your throat when you tell lies. ”
"Really?" she felt that lying had reached the level of ease, and was a little uncertain by his statement, "But this time I cleared my throat because my throat was uncomfortable. ”
He turned around and took out a piece of jasper, which was green and crystal clear: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, take it and apply it to your face." ”
She reached out and took it and gently put it on her face, and the slightest coolness soaked into her skin to relieve a lot of burning: "Your Excellency, you have something to tell me." She straightened her posture and said, "I have something to tell you too." ”
His eyes swept a layer of blue water blown away by the spring breeze, and he said softly: "Oh...... You speak first. ”
She said, "If you're going to fight against the Void this time, take me with you." ”
Mu Dinghua sighed: "I just want to tell you about this, this time the incident is too strange, the last small-scale attack may have been their style, but this time the entire Nine Heavens was violated by them, this kind of action is too unwise." ”
Seeing that she was contemplating and pondering, he continued, "I'm afraid that you will do something irrational because you hear some unclear news on the spur of the moment, so it is better to tell you first." When I am not there, you can ask Ruan Yu to accompany you for a walk, and when everything is ready, I will tell you the specific situation, if you must go, you will go with me after we are all deployed, promise me. ”
She thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the truth, and he was relieved that he could let her participate, and this was the result she wanted. But if, as Mu Dinghua said, everything is not so simple, does that mean that there are more terrible things waiting for them?
Mu Dinghua was still waiting for her answer, and she nodded: "I promise you that I will never listen to the rumors outside until everything is clear." But if you are useful to my landlord, please be sure to speak. ”
"How long have we known each other?" asked Mu Dinghua abruptly. She was a little stunned for a while, but she calculated seriously: "Yes...... More than 2,000 years. ”
"yes, I thought it was more than 20,000 years. He smiled faintly, and his gentle appearance was very good-looking.
"Ah...... Is this the algorithm? That's more than 20,000 years old. She blushed with a hint of embarrassment.
He said softly, "Then do you still call me that?
She didn't feel that she was outside, she had already regarded him as her own family, and when he asked him, she replied casually: "Then what should I call you, won't other names seem disrespectful?"
"I call you Seed Ling, what do you call me?" he thought.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, she thought to herself: "I call you Amu, or call you Brother Hua?"
"Well, yes, then just call me Amu. He replied with a natural smile.
"Okay, then...... Amu. She smiled, a little unaccustomed to calling Mu Dinghua like this: "This is the tea you drank last time, I know that Lian Yi will not be willing to give it to you." Look, I brought it to you. She pulled a small bag of tea out of her sleeve and gave it to him with a smile.
He took it and smiled, "Last time, long, long time." ”
