This night, when the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the spring heart building, the old place.

"The third watch doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, Mu Chuyu, are you too idle?" Pei Yao suddenly pushed open the door, and as soon as she entered the door, she scolded Mu Chuyu.

Mu Chuyu was so frightened by her that she swallowed softly: "Did you just eat gunpowder?" So angry? ”

Pei Yao didn't bother to pay attention to him, sat beside him angrily, picked up the wine jug and poured wine directly into the glass, and then took a sip.

How can just one drink relieve the depression in the chest? As soon as a glass of wine was poured into my stomach, I immediately lifted the flask and prepared to pour a second glass......

Mu Chuyu was puzzled and pressed her raised arm with a little surprise: "What is there that you can't think of?" Drinking and not ending up? ”

Pei Yao glanced at him with a faint expression, and retorted, "Where am I endless?" This is the second cup! ”

"Could it be that it's only three things, and I'll have to wait until you've got your third cup down before I can stop it? With the amount of alcohol you have, I'm afraid you'll be here unconscious by then! Mu Chuyu deliberately ridiculed her.

"It's best to drink to death!" Pei Yao replied angrily, although she was still stiff-mouthed, the wine glass in her hand had been firmly rested on the round table in the direction of Mu Chuyu's force.

"You're going to drink to death, then I don't know who to tell the new news about the Soul Guard!" Mu Chuyu withdrew his hand and sighed to himself, but his eyes were always observing the changes in Pei Yao's expression.

Pei Yao's brain was stimulated by his words and sobered up for the most part: Mu Chuyu is also my task! If I can handle him well, will I be able to save my life even if the mission of Penglai Mountain fails? Forget it, a dead horse is a live horse doctor! The broken jar is broken!

"What's new?" Pei Yao stared at Mu Chuyu as if her eyes were glowing.

"Let me talk to you while I drink!" Mu Chuyu replied while pouring wine for himself.

“……”

Finally waiting for him to finish a cup slowly, Pei Yao couldn't wait to shake his arm and asked politely, "What's the new news?" Tell me! ”

"If I tell you, what good do you give me?" Mu Chuyu had already planned her purpose in her heart, turned her head and spoke directly, her eyes were similar to when Pei Yao saw the gold.

It's really a dog that can't change eating...... Pei Yao rolled her eyes in disgust in her heart.

"And what benefits do you want?" Of course, on the surface, she still asked him very crisply, just like the two of them had traded in the past.

"Tell me the truth about the killing of Qi Fengsu in Bishui Villa!"

Pei Yao was carefully making up lies in her heart about her not going to the martial arts conference, but she didn't expect Mu Chuyu to ask this! Her elm head was "creaking" to recall the "old thing", and she was not used to it.

Maybe Mu Chuyu's expression was too serious, Pei Yao didn't hold back and laughed all of a sudden: "Okay, okay!" I promise you! ”

"What do you mean by laughing?" Mu Chuyu showed a child-like innocent question.

"Nothing! Eh, say it! Pei Yao tried her best to hold back her laughter, and calmly pressed the air flow in her chest that was disordered by laughter with her hand.

Mu Chu Yuquan thought she was a "crazy woman" and did not pursue it further.

He adjusted his mood and said solemnly: "Do you remember when I was in Bishui Villa, I told you about the 'Soul Guard has installed his own fine work in some sects'? ”

"Of course!" Pei Yao replied immediately without thinking about it, because she still remembered the shocked expression on Lady Begonia when she relayed the matter to Mrs. Begonia.

"My people have recently passed on a new message to me," Mu Chuyu paused intentionally and looked at Pei Yao's eyes mysteriously, "There are also fine works of the Soul Guard in the Begonia Pavilion!" ”

When he said these lines, Mu Chuyu's words were quite clear, and the importance of this matter was emphasized on the side.

Pei Yao was so shocked that her whole head trembled a little: "Really? ”

"It's more real than pearls!" Mu Chuyu's eyes were very determined.

Oh, my God! If there are also people in the court in the Begonia Pavilion, maybe one day I will fall asleep and never wake up again! Who the hell is that man? Will it be in the Begonia Pavilion? Pei Yao's head began to think crankily again, feeling that there were hanging rocks in front of him and chasing soldiers behind him, and the situation he was in was not much different from licking blood on a sword.

"Our Haitang Pavilion didn't go against the imperial court? Why does the emperor have trouble with us? Do you give food to people? Don't give people a way to live? ”

A killer can say these words "shamelessly", and Mu Chuyu thinks more and more that the three words "shameless" are tailor-made for Pei Yao, although there are very few small parts of his heart who agree with her!

"Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry violates the ban with martial arts!" Mu Chuyu calmly poured two glasses of wine for Pei Yao and herself, gently pushed one of them to Pei Yao, and explained solemnly, "Don't say that Haitang Pavilion is not against the imperial court, doesn't the entire Jianghu also boast that it is not against the imperial court?" However, the emperor does not think so! ”

He lightly moistened his lower lips with wine, "Under the whole world, it is not the imperial land!" The whole world is his, let alone the small rivers and lakes? In his eyes, whether it is a decent family in the rivers and lakes or a crooked demon, they are all on a par with the ruffians and hooligans occupying the mountains! He will never allow the 'bandits' in his eyes to occupy his territory and set up the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes to go their own way! These sects are like thorns in his heart, don't say anything nonsense that the rivers and lakes and the well water of the imperial court do not violate the river water, and don't forget that all rivers return to the sea! Today's emperor is the sea! Unless these people submit to the court and obey the arrangement, he will want to get rid of them as soon as possible! ”

Mu Chuyu's unhurried words made Pei Yao's heart pull out the cold, and she was stunned for a long time.

"What? Scared? Mu Chuyu touched her with her elbow, and Pei Yao's eyes regained their brightness.

She asked suspiciously, "Why are you telling me this news?" Is it just because you want to know the truth about Qi Fengsu's killing? It's not a good deal, is it? ”

Could it be that she didn't speak just now because she was calculating in her heart that this is the difference between buying and selling? Mu Chuyu didn't expect her to ask like this, but fortunately, he was prepared.

"Suddenly, you've become smarter!"

Pei Yao couldn't understand whether Mu Chuyu was praising her or sarcastically her, so she just stared at him stunned and didn't respond.

"You're right!" Mu Chuyu lowered his eyes and breathed a few breaths, and his gaze after reverie was slightly deep, "Of course I-not just told you this news because I wanted to know the truth about Qi Fengsu's killing!" ”

"What more do you want to know?" Pei Yao unconsciously clenched the wine glass in her hand, her voice trembled slightly, and Mu Chuyu tonight didn't seem to be the same as what she knew before......

"I still want to- work with you!"

"Work with me? I don't really understand! Aren't you also a member of the court? It stands to reason that we should be opposed...... Why should you work with me? Pei Yao was puzzled by this, her eyes were clear and ignorant, and her right hand had already naturally released the wine glass and smoothly held the soft sword at her waist sideways.

Mu Chuyu only instinctively noticed her harmless eyes: "Although I am a person in the court, the people in the court are also divided into factions!" Of course, I belong to my father's faction, although my father is now in the limelight in front of the emperor, and the emperor also values him! But the companion is like a tiger, and there is a mysterious killer organization like the Soul Guard by the emperor's side, how can we sit back and relax? I want to work with you because we all have the same purpose – to stay alive! Finding the fine works lurking in the Begonia Pavilion and even the people of other sects in the rivers and lakes of the Soul Guard can not only avoid the fate of you being killed, but also prevent the destruction of the Begonia Pavilion and even the entire martial arts...... I can also grab the handle of the Soul Guards from Zhongshun Teng and design to hang out their supreme commander! Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”

Mu Chuyu's words made Pei Yao very moved! Because he was right, all the bad things that Pei Yao did to kill people and set fires were for the sake of "surviving"! The hand she held at her waist was lifted back to the table, carefully arranging and combining the words, thinking about the big picture!

"But how do I know you're telling the truth? What evidence do you have? Pei Yao frowned slightly and asked seriously.

Mu Chuyu confidently raised three fingers: "I dare to swear to the colorful ant stones on Penglai Mountain, everything I say at the moment is true!" ”

According to legend, there is a sacred stone on Penglai Mountain, called the colorful ant stone. It is extremely irregular in shape and is as large as a single bed. It is made up of five colors: red, orange, green, blue, and yellow, and has the ability to distinguish between truth and lies! As long as someone stands in front of the Divine Stone and speaks to it, after speaking, hundreds or even thousands of ants under the Divine Stone will automatically climb up the Divine Stone in an orderly manner. If what the visitor said is true, the ant swarm will write a "yes" on the stone, and if what the person said is false, the ant swarm will write a "no" on the stone!

"Then in a few days, you will go to Penglai Mountain with me, I want to see if what you say is true or false!" Pei Yao casually took a small sip of the wine in the glass.

Mu Chuyu: "......"

In fact, no matter whether Mu Chuyu was telling the truth or not, whether the Begonia Pavilion had the fine work of the Soul Guard, Pei Yao thought that none of this mattered! The important thing is that the emperor can't tolerate them in his eyes, if she wants to survive, she can only cooperate with Mu Chuyu, if she leans against the big tree of Mu Yeshan, maybe she can save a small life in the future!
