The black-robed man sighed, "You're still so stubborn, just be careful with yourself." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, he sighed lightly again, turned around and returned to the secret passage before.

After a while, the stone wall slowly closed, and the figure that had been shrouded in black robes all the time also completely disappeared into the secret passage behind the stone wall.

After the man left, Mu Yirong, who had been gloomy, slowly turned his head, under the dim candlelight, his face was resolute but a little dark, and his eyes were full of pain: "Wait until the matter is completely over...... You always say that, but can it really be over? ……”

There was silence in the chamber, no one could answer his question, and the man who knew the answer was long gone.

The night was like water, and the white moonlight swayed down, making the entire Taishou Mansion look extremely cold.

Soon after Mu Yirong withdrew from the secret room, someone came to report it, and someone outside the mansion was looking for him.

"It's so late, who's coming for me?" Mu Yirong frowned.

The subordinate hurriedly replied: "Back to my lord, there is a man and a woman outside the door, they said that they have two superb ink demons in their hands, and they want to come to ask Lord Taishou for personal favors." ”

"Favors?"

Mu Yirong's expression was slightly gloomy, and he thought for a while before he spoke: "Let them in." ”

"Yes, sir."

The man hurriedly walked out, but after a short while, he led a man and a woman in. Mu Yirong sat on the chair with a teacup, and looked at the two people who came in, and suddenly squinted slightly, it was really that the young man was a little handsome, and the woman next to him was also very good-looking.

After the two of them came in, they arched their hands towards him and said, "I have seen Master Mu in Xia Xue Qing." ”

Surname Xue?

Mu Yirong's expression paused slightly, frowning and looking at the young man from Zhilan Yushu who spoke, his eyes paused on his face for a moment, then he put down the teacup without a trace, looked at the two and said lightly: "Xue Gongzi came to visit late at night, I don't know what is important?" ”

Xue Rou raised her head and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, Xue came to visit late at night, but he actually wanted to ask Lord Taishou for help." ”

Mu Yirong raised his eyebrows, and heard Xue Rou say with a smile: "When Xue first came to Yuncheng, I heard that there would be a chrysanthemum feast here five days later, and after some inquiry, I learned that last year's king of chrysanthemums, 'Tricolor', was in the Taishou Mansion. I was originally a person who loved chrysanthemums, so I sighed a few words casually, but I didn't want my subordinates to venture into the Taishou Mansion at night to get the trisorasse back, who knew that he was injured before he saw what he wanted. Xue knew that he was rude, so he came to make amends, and asked Lord Taishou to raise his noble hand and spare his entourage. ”

Mu Yirong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Xue Rou with a little interest: "You are bold, your entourage broke into the official's Taishou Mansion, and you still dare to come and plead?" ”

Xue Rou smiled indifferently: "I have heard that Lord Mu is a person who loves chrysanthemums, and when I understand the feeling of having the best tricolor chrysanthemums but not being able to touch them, although my entourage is reckless, it is also forgivable, so I also ask Lord Mu to forgive him this time." ”

After speaking, she smiled and continued: "Of course, as a gift, I will give two long-cherished superb ink demons to adults. ”

When Mu Yirong heard the "ink demon", his eyes were a little hot. The so-called ink demon is a treasure in the chrysanthemum, the whole body is as black as ink, the stamens are purple and red, and the shape is like a peony when it is in full bloom, and it is luxurious. Ink chrysanthemums are not rare, but it is difficult to find one ink demon among the ten thousand ink chrysanthemums, but the person in front of him opened his mouth to say two, and even Mu Yirong couldn't help but be moved.

He remembered the surname of the young man in front of him, and remembered the conversation in the secret room just now, he remembered that the real name of Ning Ziqing in Beijing was also surnamed Xue? And that Xue Rou's appearance is also said to be extremely outstanding, will there be anything to do between this Xue Qing and that Ning Ziqing in front of him? Or is he Ning Ziqing?

Thinking of the rumors that there had been in Da Zhou before, it was said that when Ning Ziqing disguised herself as a man, it was almost chaotic, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and looked at Xue Rou with some suspicion and said: "Ink demons are extremely rare, Xue Gongzi is actually willing to do it?" ”

Xue Rou smiled faintly: "Why are you reluctant? If it is given to ordinary people, it is naturally a waste, but if it is given to people who like chrysanthemums so much, it is also their blessing. ”

"Oh? What does Xue Gongzi mean by this? ”

Xue Rou smiled and said: "Lord Mu doesn't know, I am from Yuanliang Jinyang, my mother was the Yuanliang royal family, those two ink demons are still the emperor's cousin after learning that I love chrysanthemums, specially rewarded me, but unfortunately I will only watch and will not raise, those two ink demons to my hands, **** pampered, but every time it is time to bloom, the flowers are all withered before they bloom." I'm afraid that I won't be able to raise it for another two years, and the ink demon will really fold in my hands, and I just want to find a master for them, and I am also fated to Lord Mu, and it is also their fate to give it to Lord Mu. ”

Mu Yirong couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Xue Rou's words, "Then according to what you say, if I refuse, won't I still become a murderer?" ”

Although he still had doubts in his heart at this time, he really thought about the two ink demons in Xue Rou's mouth, that person liked chrysanthemums the most, if he could really get his hands on these two ink demons, he would be happy to see them at that time. What's more, he didn't believe that the young man in front of him was Ning Ziqing, after all, he knew very well the movements in Beijing in the past few days, so many people's eyes were on Ning Ziqing, if she really left Beijing, how could there be no news in Beijing? And even if Ning Ziqing sensed that something was wrong and followed the clues to find Yuncheng, it must have been suspicious of him, how could she come to the door with such fanfare and report the surname Xue, wouldn't that be the same as looking for death?

At present, the situation in Beijing is tense, and if Ning Ziqing really has the heart to help King Ling seize the throne, he will never choose to leave at this time. Just like him, he came and went all night, and he refused to stay even for a moment......

Thinking of this, Mu Yirong felt a pain in his heart, and when he raised his head again, he said directly to Xue Rou: "Since you are sincere, then good, you sent those two ink demons, and I forgave your servant this time, if there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"Thank you, Lord Mu, for your understanding."

Mu Yirong suddenly said when he heard this: "Since you are a person who loves flowers, and I have a fate, it is better to live in my house these days, and it just so happens that there are all kinds of famous chrysanthemums in my house, which can be enjoyed by you." ”

Su Yu's fingers in his sleeves clenched violently when he heard this, and his heart was tightly raised.

Xue Rou was delighted and said without hesitation: "Really? That's just great, I just want to see the king of chrysanthemums, don't be stingy. ”

The undisguised joy on her face, and the eagerness in her eyes made Mu Yirong's doubts dissipate a little, Mu Yirong's expression was a lot kinder, and he smiled at her and said, "Of course, come here, prepare a guest room for Xue Gongzi." ”
