Chapter 194: Mucheng (1)
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. In the crowd, that one back suddenly disappeared, only for a moment, and it felt so familiar to him. γFor more exciting, please visitγ
"Is it Lin Ning?" He couldn't believe it, but the familiarity was extremely strong, "Maybe, it's just an illusion." When he looked again, his back had long since disappeared into the hustle and bustle, turning into dust!
"Childe, what's wrong with you? The tea is overflowing. As Xuan'er reminded her, Lin Qian suddenly came back to her senses.
I saw that a cup of tea had already been filled, but fortunately I stopped it in time, otherwise it would really overflow.
Xuan'er pouted, looked at the full and overflowing tea in front of her, and asked instead, "Childe, what's wrong with you, you have been absent-minded since just now, could it be that something is uncomfortable?" β
"No, nothing." He panicked to cover up, hurriedly poured himself a cup, and made a gesture of tasting tea, "The tea here is very fragrant, I didn't expect that the capital could drink such a good tea." β
"It's just an ordinary Tieguanyin, don't you taste it at home every day? It's like drinking boiled water, and I don't see how my son feels. When Xuan'er saw him behaving more and more, she felt more and more strange.
Lin Qian smiled awkwardly and pretended to look at the sky, "It's not too early, let's go back as soon as possible, otherwise my father will find out, and it will be terrible." β
"That'...... All right. Xuan'er nodded helplessly.
The two paid and left the teahouse.
On the way back, Lin Qian was silent, and a scene in the crowd kept coming to his mind and lingering.
"Is he really back?" He looked at Xuan'er beside him, and his heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what it tasted like.
Until he got out of the street, he looked back at the end of the long street, the sea of people was vast, and he couldn't see any trace of it, and he only sighed lightly and left.
β¦β¦
Shortly after the two left, on the other side of the street.
Lin Ning, who was walking, suddenly stopped and turned around, frowned, and shook his head again, looking undecided.
Seeing this, Ruyan on the side asked strangely, "What's wrong?" β
"It's okay, maybe it's just my delusion." Lin Ning smiled lightly, fighting thousands of miles away, escaping death several times, those thrilling scenes seemed to be still yesterday.
When I return to the place where I grew up and feel the environment around me that is still unchanged, I feel a lot of feelings! He was now looking forward to the moment when he would see everyone again.
"Where are you going next?" Ruyan came to the capital for the first time, and I was very excited to see the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street.
Lin Ning identified the direction a little, and said: "Before I go back, I have to meet someone, I am very worried about whether he has passed away, according to the travel plan, he should have come back many days ago, but the plan always can't catch up with the change." β
When he mentioned this person, his tone was obviously quick, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of worry.
The two of them hurried all the way from Cangzhou, in order to be able to rush back as soon as possible, Lin Ning knew the current situation of Mucheng very well, after his master was taken away, he had been supported by his life.
This time I came back, it was a lot later than expected, but I was afraid that if it dragged on for a few days, I would never see Mucheng.
In order not to alarm outsiders, since the two entered the city, they have also concealed their identities as immortal cultivators, and they are afraid of regenerating others.
And this is the capital, most of them are mortals, if you watch the two of them fly, it will be strange if it does not cause a big commotion.
There was wind under Lin Ning's feet, but fortunately, not long after he left, everything was still the same, and he only walked for an hour, and he came to the gate of the Eight Princes' Mansion.
There was a house slave sweeping the floor with a broom in front of the gate, Lin Ning stepped forward and said, "This brother, can you go and report, I want to see someone in your house." β
The slave raised his eyes and looked at him, as if he felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, I was afraid that it was really the person who came to the palace to find the prince, and he couldn't afford to be so offended.
Then he said: "My lord, the eighth prince is not in the house today, he went out early in the morning, it seems that he is preparing for the festival ceremony, if the adult has any urgent matter, it is better to move to the mansion and wait in the lobby first." β
Lin Ning frowned, where did he have time to wait? And what he was looking for was not the Eighth Prince, "Then let me ask you, do you know that there is a person named Mucheng in your house?" β
"Mu Cheng?" The other party lowered his head and thought for a few breaths, and said, "Could it be that Lord Fei is talking about the Mu Cheng who manages the warehouse in the backyard?" β
"Exactly." When Lin Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
But the house slave was extremely surprised, "My lord is here to find him?" He is a dying man, he is unlucky, even a child will cry when he sees it, I heard that he stays in the dark attic all day, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive now. β
Lin Ning was in a hurry, it turned out that Mucheng's situation was even worse than he imagined, so he didn't talk to this servant anymore, and he was about to break in when he raised his steps.
That slave is just a mortal, where can he stop Lin Ning and Ruyan.
The heavy door was shaken open by one of his palms, and the door slammed in, frightening the guards up and down the palace to be on guard, spears and halberds, and suddenly pointed at the two of them.
"Where did the arrogant people come from to dare to break into the palace?" During the siege, the two of them suddenly heard a loud roar inside, the voice was extremely thick, and under the anger, they did not lose a bit of domineering.
Ruyan heard it and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Lin Ning with a raised hand.
He smiled at Ruyan, "Don't be nervous, it's an old acquaintance of mine." β
The angry stride came, the sword on his waist slammed into the sound properly, and when he appeared in front of the gate, Lin Ning saw a burly young man with a black crown.
The young man was arrogant, his eyebrows were cold, and when he was about to order the arrest of these two bold maniacs, he was stunned on the spot.
"Why, you haven't seen me for a long time, and you don't recognize me? Tu Wanxiong! Lin Ning smiled slightly, and said a flat word, but the other party was shocked on the spot.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, but the next moment he was grinning, "Oh yes, this, this, isn't this Immortal Master Lin, Lord Lin?" My old slaughter has lost the welcome, and the welcome has been lost! β
Tu Wanxiong reacted, and laughed so hard that his mouth was about to reach the back of his head, "Hurry up, Immortal Master Lin, please inside, please inside...... Who is this? β
As he strode forward to greet him, his gaze fell on Ruyan.
"A friend of mine." Lin Ning introduced a sentence casually, and responded with a smile: "The little woman is like smoke, I have seen Your Excellency." β
"Friends?" Tu Wanxiong was stunned, thinking that Lin Ning was an immortal cultivator, and his friend was also an immortal, so he was immediately startled.
I don't dare to slack off.
Ruyan was born beautiful, and he was three points into the immortals, but he was surprised at first glance, and he was determined. This is the second real immortal cultivator he has ever seen in his life.
Moreover, he is also a fairy who is rare to see in the world.
My old Tu family is really a blessing in the last life. Tu Wanxiong hurriedly ushered the two into the lobby and waited for the guests.
"Hurry up and serve tea, good tea, the best imperial tea given by the emperor." As soon as he took his seat, Tu Wanxiong kept commanding his subordinates with a loud voice.
Lin Ning waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be like this, because I'm in a hurry, so I'm in a hurry or something, let's wait for later, I want to see someone here, Mu Cheng." β
"Mu Cheng? The person in charge of the warehouse in the backyard? Tu Wanxiong was stunned, but then his face sank, and he shook his head and said, "If Immortal Master Lin wants to see him, I'm afraid it's just a step too late." β
"What did you say?" Lin Ning's heart suddenly tightened......
