Chapter 120: Keep it for yourself
Mu Chenghuang's carriage stopped at the mountain gate of Longhu Mountain, as soon as the carriage got out, you could see the steps like the sky straight into the sky, each step is made of a zhang long, a foot wide stone slab put together, it is said that there are 999 steps leading to the mountain dojo, even the emperor came, he had to walk in person one by one, expressing piety.

Mu Chenghuang glanced at the unreachable steps, going down this really cost half a life.
There was also a person in Guo Tianli's carriage in front of him, Guo Tianli put his hand behind him, looking at the high steps without a trace of fear or feeling tired, but there was a sense of peace of mind when he returned home, he took a deep breath, a little greedy for the appearance of the mountain air.
After Zhou Lingxi's escape in the post station, although Guo Tianli did not pursue it, the vigilance around Zhou Lingxi and Mu Chenghuang was obviously strengthened a lot, and Zhu An and Zhu Jing specially accompanied Mu Chenghuang and Zhou Lingxi, saying that they were escorts, but they were just looking at the two of them.
Seeing that Mu Chenghuang didn't move, Zhu An urged: "The fifth princess should hurry up, otherwise she won't be able to finish this step before dark." ā
"Isn't there any other place to go up?" Zhou Lingxi looked disgusted, Mu Chenghuang glanced at Zhou Lingxi, although Zhou Lingxi is pampered, but he has never been such a pretentious person, looking at her pretending to be displeased, Mu Chenghuang knows the careful thoughts in her heart, this guy deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, just to know if there is a path up and down the mountain in this Longhu Mountain, this guy, will not still think about escaping.
Zhu Jing, who was waiting beside her, replied coldly: "Just this way, if you can't fall in love, do you have to find someone to carry you up?" ā
Zhou Lingxi's eyes suddenly brightened: "Is it really possible?" ā
Zhu Jing snorted coldly, didn't answer, turned around and left.
Mu Chenghuang came to Zhou Lingxi, she knew that Zhou Lingxi's previous perverse actions were all temptations, Mu Chenghuang's eyes glanced away, either pretending to look at the mighty steps, or pretending to watch these Taoist disciples and the palace people who followed out of the palace pack their bags, ready to take out the things in these boxes and carry them on their backs with manpower, but his mouth was to this Zhou Lingxi: "Do you see their attitude?" ā
Zhou Lingxi also said without a trace: "I found it." ā
"That's right, Zhu'an Zhujing was polite to us before, but after coming to this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, all kinds of faces have been put out, which shows that there is indeed no path to the outside in this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, if it weren't for the trapped beast, how could they dare to be so arrogant." Mu Chenghuang and Zhou Lingxi are now on the same solid front.
Zhou Lingxi tilted his head and said, "Anyway, I don't want to be a saint, I still want to get married." ā
Mu Chenghuang looked at her with slanted eyes, and Zhou Lingxi hurriedly explained: "Naturally, it's not a marriage contract with the prince, I have no marriage contract with the prince, it's just that my father and the queen mother have this meaning, and now my father still has the intention of letting me marry someone, he sent me to be a saint, just to hope that the Zhou family would be the last." ā
Zhou Lingxi muttered, Mu Chenghuang hadn't reacted from the word "last", and when she understood what Zhou Lingxi meant, she couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "You are really a real man." ā
After packing up the things, he was naturally going to start climbing the same steps as this day, Guo Tian left in front, Zhou Lingxi and Mu Chenghuang walked behind, followed by their own maids and Zhu'an Zhujing, when they stepped on the last step, Mu Chenghuang's legs were almost no longer his own.
When he couldn't climb more than two hundred steps, Mu Chenghuang had to rely on Wenzhi and Suzaku to take turns to support, Xiao Xiazi carried Mu Chenghuang's close softness, and Mu Chenghuang couldn't put more pressure on him.
Mu Chenghuang's legs were trembling even if they didn't move, and although Zhou Lingxi was born in martial arts, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe.
Guo Tianli, who was walking in the forefront, breathed evenly and powerfully, glanced back at the two who were already sitting on the steps to rest, and instructed Zhu An and Zhu Jing: "First take the princess and the county lord to the east and west wings to rest." ā
Although the east and west wings are far apart, but fortunately, Mu Chenghuang and Zhou Lingxi are now interconnected, although Zhou Lingxi has two tricky maids by his side, but after all, the two of them are here to protect Zhou Lingxi, as long as Zhou Lingxi does not escape, they can do whatever they can for Zhou Lingxi.
Mu Chenghuang lives in the east wing, few people live in the wing, but it can be seen that in order to make Mu Chenghuang live comfortably, the layout and furnishings are carefully cared for, there is also a jujube tree in the yard, with green fruits on it, and a few of them have been hung red, Mu Chenghuang couldn't help but look at the red dates frequently when he came in, Wen Zhi knew her mind, and said: "After a while, the slave will use a bamboo pole to beat dates for the princess to eat." ā
"That's it," Mu Chenghuang waved his hand and said, "The dates on the mountain are ripe late, and when the dates are ripe, I have to wait until late autumn, I don't want to stay in this Dragon and Tiger Mountain for so long." ā
Suzaku made the bed and cleaned it inside, and Xiao Xiazi beckoned the palace people who carried things to put the soft things they brought in the place where they should be placed, and after cleaning up, Zhu'an brought the dinner sent by two Taoist disciples, although it was not as good as the food in the palace, but it was still light and exquisite.
According to the previous arrangement, Mu Chenghuang will start to learn to dance with her aunt tomorrow, it should have been a night of rest, but Mu Chenghuang's lights this night have not been extinguished, she has been flipping back and forth the pages of the book that she has read countless times, as if waiting for someone.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door outside, very light, like a rhythmic code, Wen Zhi, who was sitting at the table grinding ink for Mu Chenghuang, glanced at Mu Chenghuang, and then went to the door lightly, opened a small slit, and sure enough, he saw Suzaku stretching out half of his head, and said softly: "Princess, the person really went out, and he brought some paper money from nowhere." ā
Wen Zhi looked back at Mu Chenghuang, Mu Chenghuang pointed to the pages of the book, and suddenly got up: "Let's go, I'm going to see for myself, what the hell is he going to do." ā
The Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Dojo covers an extremely wide area, the scope is very large, and in order to facilitate Guo Tianli's Qing cultivation, there are not many people here, except for the daily attendants and disciples who study with Guo Tianli, there are only vegetable farmers who regularly send fresh fruits and vegetables to the mountain every day.
The Dragon and Tiger Mountain in the dark night is terrifyingly quiet, and the mountains and green peaks in the distance are like a group of elves in the night, quietly watching the Dragon and Tiger Mountain on this side.
Insects chirped in the grass and trees, and occasionally birds fluttered their wings at night, flying from one end of the tree to the other.
People who come to Longhu Mountain for the first time will definitely not choose to go out in the middle of the night, unless there is something important.
Suzaku opened the way in front, and Wen Zhi helped Mu Chenghuang to walk through the forest in the backyard of the east wing.
After a while, I saw a fire in the distance, as if someone was burning something, and from the firelight, there was the sound of human whispering.
Mu Chenghuang motioned for Wen Zhi and Suzaku to step forward left and right, and he walked directly behind the man.
At the sound of an order, Wen Zhi and Suzaku grabbed the man's left and right arms, the man panicked, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being forcibly brought to Mu Chenghuang by the two, Suzaku kicked his knee in relief, forcing him to kneel in front of Mu Chenghuang.
Mu Chenghuang glanced down at him, and his voice was cold: "Grandpa Xia doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, is he burning things here to play?" ā
Mu Chenghuang didn't call him Xiao Xiazi as usual, but called him Xia's father-in-law a little unfamiliarly, Xiao Xiazi trembled and kept kowtowing to Mu Chenghuang and said: "Slaves are guilty, slaves are guilty." ā
"Guilty? Where are you guilty? Mu Chenghuang motioned to Wen Zhi to pinch Xiao Xiazi's chin, so that Xiao Xiazi, who had been keeping her head down because of guilt, had to face her eyes.
Mu Chenghuang had actually guessed a few points in his heart, Mu Yuanan suddenly invited himself and Mu Qinyi to go to Qianli Pond to make trouble, it was nothing more than knowing that someone had entered and exited Jinglan Palace from Prince Su's mansion, just as Mu Chenghuang had guessed before, if he wanted to be seen on the way out of Prince Su's mansion, it would make sense, after all, it was impossible for Mu Qinyi to replace all the people along the road with his own people, and the road conditions were complicated and difficult to control.
But it doesn't make sense to be found in Jinglan Palace, firstly, there are red sleeves sitting in Jinglan Palace, and secondly, even if Red Sleeves is negligent, with Mu Qinyi's own light skills, he will not be discovered, unless, Jinglan Palace itself has an internal ghost, which is also the most painful guess for Mu Chenghuang.
Before she was sick last time, she had already cleaned up Jinglan Palace once, and drove all those dishonest people out of the palace, and those who stayed behind were all the old palace people she had trusted for many years, but she didn't expect that there would be people among these more than 20 people who would betray the lord for glory, and what she didn't expect was that this person was actually Xiao Xiazi, whom she had always trusted and was ready to connect with Baojuan.
Mu Chenghuang saw that Xiao Xiazi didn't dare to look directly at his problem, so he stepped forward, picked up the things that Xiao Xiazi burned one by one with a stick, and turned around and said, "Dark paper? You're actually burning dead paper here? ā
Wen Zhi also scolded hatefully: "Bad thing, who are you burning again?" If you don't say that you betrayed the princess, do you still want the princess's life? ā
"No, no, it's really not," Xiao Xiazi just opened his mouth to argue, but then, his god fell back quickly, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his shoulders shook violently, "Slave...... The minion is for Baojuan to burn. ā... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
