Phantom Star Morning came back, and as soon as he finished washing, someone came to report it.
After bathing, the room is still misty, with a unique fragrance of women, but it has the inherent smell of men.
"See the High Priest", the person who came was not the dead soldier of Phantom Xingchen, but the eunuch beside the lord of the Wolf Cangguo.
"What's the matter with the lord of the country, is it not raining, or which minister is embarrassing him", Phantom Xingchen sorted out the clothes he had just put on, and turned his back to the door.
"It's... It's the lord of the country", the eunuch didn't dare to speak out, one was a resolute high priest, and even the lord of the country had to give a few polite points, and the other was the lord of the country who was still standing beside him.
"Stand down, I'm alone with the High Priest," the lord of the kingdom behind him suddenly spoke.
The eunuch hurriedly retreated, always feeling that when these two men got together, there would definitely be a storm.
"See the lord of the country", Phantom Xingchen buttoned his button unhurriedly before turning around and saluting.
"The high priest will be spared this bow," the lord of the kingdom found a place to sit down, and did not expect him to pour himself tea, so he poured himself a glass of white water.
"I don't know what is important for the lord of the country to come to the cold house in person", the words he said were respectful, but the actions he made were diametrically opposite, Phantom Xingchen unceremoniously picked up the white water poured by the lord from the table and took a big sip.
The emperor poured water for the minister, but something unprecedented happened at this moment.
However, the lord of the country was not disgusted by Phantom Xingchen's behavior, "The priest will really enjoy it", and his tone was a little angry.
Phantom Star Chen moved his eyelids, and glanced at the country lord with his eyes, and he didn't intend to say anything.
"Haha, but I just like this about the high priest", the lord of the country stood up, approached Phantom Xingchen, stretched his head and sniffed with his nose, and said, "You are so fragrant after taking a bath."
Phantom Xingchen took a step back, and there was a look of disgust in his eyes, "If the lord of the country has anything, just say it, don't beat around the bush."
The lord of the country closed his eyes, still savoring the fragrance of someone in Fangcai, and before he opened his eyes, he replied in a reluctant voice: "It's not an important thing, I just want to confirm that the high priest is not secretly helping the demon girl in the ghost domain of Shacheng, and also secretly withdrawing the army of the wolf cangguo stationed in the ghost domain of Shacheng."
"Oh", Phantom Xingchen replied disapprovingly, "What the minister has taken back is only the minister's dead soldiers, the army of the lord, and the minister has not moved a single cent."
"In this way, I misunderstood the High Priest", the Lord of the Kingdom opened his eyes and took a deep breath of the breath left by Phantom Star Chen in the air again, "Without the indirect help of the High Priest, it will probably take several years for the Shacheng Ghost Domain to break away from our country."
"The lord of the country has been promoted, but the minister has only retreated a few dead soldiers, and he has not made a big effort, only to blame my wolf Cangguo for its poor military strength and underestimating the enemy in recent years, so it has been defeated again and again", Phantom Xingchen leaned on the edge of the table, his hands propped up behind his back, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
The lord of the kingdom also propped his hand on the table, "Since this is the case, what can the priest do to govern our country well?"
The heat spread to the back of Phantom Xingchen's cold hand, Phantom Xingchen lowered his eyes and glanced at the salty pig hand covering his hand, and the lilac demon was dyed with a layer of cold light.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in governing the country," Phantom Star withdrew his hand.
Regarding Phantom Xingchen's actions, the country lord smiled sinisterly and asked meaningfully, "What is the priest interested in?" Cultivating the Dead? Can I order more people to be arrested and brought into the palace for you to be sampled, or do I want the entire martial arts? Both".
The lord of the country has long known that Phantom Xingchen is secretly provoking the relationship between the various factions of the martial arts, and also instigating the relationship between the martial arts sect and the Fengsheng Kingdom, and the purpose of coming to Phantom Xingchen is already very clear.
"Neither! And I can't give it to the lord of the country I want."
"Let me think about it," the lord of the kingdom thought, "If I am not mistaken, the priest wants a woman."
The lord of the kingdom then said, "Sometimes I really can't believe how such a noble and arrogant priest can fall in love with such a plain and boring woman, with no figure, no talent, and mediocre appearance."
"It's a pity that this sacrifice just likes this kind of vulgar woman, a woman who won't throw herself into her arms, and the tune that the lord of the country likes, this sacrifice will never be able to keep up with it and can't bear it", Phantom Xingchen admitted directly without hesitation.
"Good!" , The face of the country lord, which had been calm from beginning to end, finally had a trace of displeasure, "The sect leader of the Shacheng Ghost Domain, I want to see what she is better than me!" ”。
Phantom Star Chen shrugged his shoulders, "Feel free."
This cunning old fox wants to threaten him, huh! If it was before, he would definitely be worried, but now he is not worried at all, I am afraid that the hundreds of martial arts masters are not his opponents, and he has deeply understood this.
Phantom Star! You're ruthless! , the lord of the country didn't say a word, and left the room in anger.
"Lord, you are out", the eunuch who had been waiting outside for a long time greeted him.
When the lord of the kingdom came out, he was still the same as before, and every time he came out, his face turned blue with anger, but every time he was angry, it was only three days, and after three days, he would call the servants to prepare some food and send it to the high priest's mansion, and he would ask him to bring a message to ask the high priest what he lacked.
As soon as the lord had gone, a dead man came in.
"Back to the priests, they have already settled them, and they have been asking when they can go to Jiangdu to take the life of Nan Wufeng's dog."
"Let them not worry, they can't eat meat tofu in a hurry, and they can't go until all the martial arts factions go to Jiangdu."
"No, my subordinates will convey the sect leader's original words to them."
"Hmm", Phantom Xingchen hummed with satisfaction, he was really anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, he had to wait for them and the martial arts factions to fight each other, and then he would go.
But before that, his son had already gone to make a fuss in advance, hoping that his son would not let him down.
"Also, the priest has spread the news that another artifact, the jade-faced iron fan, is in Jiangdu, and soon those martial arts factions will gather in Jiangdu again, but the subordinates are afraid that they will not find the artifact, and they will find out that the news was released by the sect leader, and the mastermind behind the previous news is the sect leader, find out."
"It doesn't matter if you find out or not, because this sacrifice doesn't plan to let them come out of Jiangdu alive, you go and prepare, wait for the opportunity, and listen to my order."
"No, the subordinates went down first", and the dead man exited the room.
The night sky was clear, with a few stars hanging lonely in the sky, and a hairy moon.
The sand and gravel floor was no longer the residual heat left by the sun during the day, and it was cold and cold.
Mu Xi couldn't find an inn in this hundred miles away, so he had to take Chi Er to rest in this desolate place for a night, Chi Er fell asleep on Mu Xi's lap peacefully, Mu Xi put on a coat for her, and she sat up.
It's been half a month since I sucked human blood, and every time it's cold at night, I have a headache, and Mu Xi will use internal force to regulate my breath.
Chi'er, who had been asleep for a long time, rubbed his eyes and raised his little head.
"Little mother, do you have another headache? Chi'er will help you rub it", since she was sensible, she heard her mother say that the little mother was sick, and she must not make the little mother angry, so she was obedient all the way.
Mu Xi restrained his breath, changed his position, clamped Chi'er's armpit, picked her up, and sat on his lap.
"Mu Xi is fine, Chi'er will continue to sleep in Mu Xi's arms", Mu Xi gently patted the child's little belly.
Chi Er stretched out her little fleshy hand and touched Mu Xi's forehead, "It's not right to deceive people, the little lady is frowning, and she is sweating so much, it must be very painful."
Mu Xi barely stretched his eyebrows, his heart was filled with sunshine, for this child who is not his own, watching her grow up since she was a child is already better than her own child.
"Chi'er sleeps obediently, Mu Xi will be fine."
"Really? Then I'll go to bed obediently", the little thing immediately closed his eyes after speaking.
Mu Xi used his sleeve to drive away mosquitoes for Chi'er, and the colic in his head made Mu Xi not have the slightest sleepiness, and he couldn't see half a woman in such a deserted place, and it was difficult to be a woman who had not been out of the cabinet! Sometimes there will be one or two post stations on the way, there are very few young people in the post station, all of them are old people in their seventies and eighties, and the young people have gone to the city to work, and it seems that it is necessary to speed up the road to Jiangdu during the day.
In the quiet night, all of them fell asleep, and only Yun Muxi was tormented alone, and this headache lasted for a month.
Finally, on a sunny day, the distance to Jiangdu was getting closer and closer, and there were more people along the way.
Mu Xi's mood rose suddenly, she could finally start eating, Chi'er was also very excited, the food was not good, and she had lost a lot of weight along the way.
The moment you step into the city gate, you will be greeted by a prosperous scene that you have not seen for a long time.
It's been three years, three whole years, and in the dark, fate still guides her to this place.
"Little lady, I'm hungry", Chi Er pointed to the hot meat buns sold in the distance.
Mu Xi lowered her head, ruffled her hair, and said distressedly: "Okay, Chi'er is hungry, eat meat buns."
After filling his stomach, Mu Xi led Chi'er through the streets and alleys, where beggars could often be seen in the quiet streets, but now they are all set up on the stalls and started business.
It must be said that Jiangdu's economy is indeed much better than before, and the people are also rich.
"Little lady...", Chi Er looked up at Mu Xi, about to say something.
False! Mu Xi made a forbidden gesture, then squatted down, looked around, and only spoke when no one was passing by.
"From now on, Chi'er can't call Mu Xi's little mother, you see that her mother is wearing a man's clothes, if Chi'er is calling her mother, Mu Xi will be regarded as a monster by others."
"That little lady quickly changes out of the woman's clothes, Chi'er can be called", Chi'er's innocent and cute appearance looked at Mu Xi, and said what she thought in her heart.
"Do you want to go out to play", Mu Xi pinched his little face, "It's convenient to put on men's clothes, and you can take Chi'er to a fun place."
"Okay, yes, Chi'er likes to go out to play the most", Chi'er clapped her hands excitedly.
