Chapter 177: The Bottom Line
Qin Sheng clutched his shoulders in pain, and the hesitation in Mu Hongxuan's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally became firm.
He walked towards Qin Sheng step by step, and stopped standing two steps away from him.
Qin Sheng, who was in severe pain, instinctively sensed the danger, covered his shoulders and stepped back with a pale face, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.
"No, no, Mu Hongxuan, you can't kill me! I am the master, I am the master of Qilan Mountain! ”
Mu Hongxuan looked at him fixedly, and then looked at the young man on the side.
Mulberry looked at them from a short distance, with a shallow smile on her lips.
He just stood there leisurely, neither urging nor impatient, his black and white eyes were clear and innocent, and those who did not know might even think that killing someone in front of him was a blasphemy.
However, it was this fair-skinned and clean boy who had driven them into such a situation, forcing them to kill each other and fight each other with swords.
Mu Hongxuan took a deep breath, raised his arm without hesitation, and shot out another sleeve arrow in his sleeve with a whoosh.
The Sleeve Arrow pierced fiercely from Qin Sheng's eyebrows, and it didn't stop until it was almost inside.
Qin Sheng's eyes widened, his eyes were full of horror, the hand covering his shoulder hung down suddenly, his body tilted to the side, and he collapsed to the ground motionless.
Mu Hongxuan lowered his arm dejectedly and turned his head to look at the mulberry on the side.
"Now I can go, right?"
Sangzi smiled: "I can naturally let you go, but ......"
The beasts roared and surrounded them, and Mu Hongxuan took two steps back nervously. Looking in the direction of the mulberry, his eyes were red.
"What do you want to do? Are you going to go back on your word? ”
"No, I mean what I say."
Mulberry said.
"Then what does that mean!"
He looked at the herd of beasts that were around him and wouldn't let him go.
"You said last time you wouldn't let them kill again!"
"That's nature."
Sang Zi said and patted Xiaoha's head gently.
"They and I can let you go, but ......"
He said, looking at a hillside not far away that was covered with wild grass, "I don't know if he will let you go." ”
He?
Mu Hongxuan raised his eyes and looked at the hillside, and saw a man wearing a navy blue shirt walking out from behind the barren grass.
"Second Senior Brother?"
His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the man who was slowly coming.
"You, why are you here? Didn't the master hand over the affairs of Qilan Mountain to you? You...... How do you ......"
An identical Hidden Arrow shot out of the sleeve of the second senior brother in his mouth and struck straight at his chest.
Mu Hongxuan subconsciously dodged, but the next sleeve arrow followed, as if he had killed Qin Sheng just now, and it was nailed straight into his eyebrows.
He didn't understand until he died, how this honest and upright second senior brother could suddenly appear here. How could he be such a killer for him.
But even if you want to ask. He couldn't ask a word anymore, and the qiē in front of him gradually turned into thick darkness, and there was no light again.
Qin Qi looked at the fallen Mu Hongxuan, a flash of grief and anger and a flash of helplessness in his eyes. Finally, it turned into a deep sigh.
He turned his head to look at the boy standing nearby. The gaze is complex.
"Ahsan......"
"My name is Mulberry now."
The boy interrupted.
“…… Mulberry. Why should today's things be so ruthless, although Qin Sheng is at fault, he is the only heir of the master after all. You ......"
"He violated my bottom line."
Mulberry replied in a deep voice.
The bottom line?
Qin Qi was a little puzzled.
This young man has always had an excellent temper, and he didn't even take it to heart when Qin Sheng robbed him of his merits and assassinated him, compared with today's events and those of the past, how can you look at it and not so strict, right?
So what exactly is his bottom line? What the hell made him so angry.
Sang Zi glanced at Qin Sheng and Mu Hongxuan's corpses lightly, and turned his head to look at Qin Qi.
"Master once told me before his death that if one day Qin Sheng and I had to turn against each other, he only begged me not to be angry with Qilan Mountain because of this, so that Qilan Mountain could continue to be passed on."
"I have given Qin Sheng more than one chance, but he himself doesn't know what to do, since this is the case, then he and Qilan Mountain, I naturally can only choose one of the two."
"Qin Qi, from today onwards, you are the master of Qilan Mountain. In the future, if there is any difficulty in Qilan Mountain, you can send someone to me. But remember, don't bother Miss, let alone embarrass her, otherwise, whoever comes, I will let whoever dies. ”
The young man's voice was quiet and gentle, but Qin Qi subconsciously shuddered.
He suddenly understood a little, why Sang Zi would be so ruthless today, and wiped out Mu Hongxuan and Qin Sheng in this way.
Qin Yu pointed at the little woman on Suzaku Street today and shouted and scolded the shrew. People, although he was the one who scolded people, it was Qin Sheng and Mu Hongxuan who were standing behind him who asked him to do it.
If it weren't for these two sentences, maybe Qin Sheng would have at least saved his life to go back today, but as soon as these words came out, they were already doomed to have no return.
Qin Qi sighed deeply again and nodded, "Okay, I know." ”
"Well, that's good."
Mulberry turned around and whistled, and a black horse galloped in the distance.
He flipped over on his horse, grabbed his belly lightly between his legs, and walked away.
…………………………
When Mengbao and Shen Nanzhu had lunch together, Sang Zi rushed back and took them to a secluded courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a wolf slightly smaller than Mulberry guarding the door, looking at Shen Nanzhu beside her and Mo An Mochou who was following Shen Nanzhu with vigilant eyes.
This wolf was the one who had found them in the alley with the mulberry that day, and she would no longer mistake it for a dog.
"Ah Qi."
Meng Bao called out with a smile.
Ah Qi walked to her feet, raised his head and rubbed it on the hem of her clothes. Then he walked over to Xiao Ha, who came with them.
Xiao Ha stayed in Mengbao's small courtyard to recuperate after being injured that day, stayed in the yard during the day, occasionally went to the mountains and forests to forage for food in the dead of night at night, and came back before dawn in the morning.
Today, in order to make it easier for it to come with him, Shen Nanzhu also specially equipped it with a carriage to prevent it from appearing on the street and scaring passers-by.
Of course, the most important thing is that he really doesn't want to sit in the car with Mengbao when there is a third person in the car, even if it is a wolf.
Ah Qi and Xiao Ha didn't know what to communicate with each other, and Xiao Ha always looked indifferent about nothing, until Sangzi called it. Then he raised his feet and walked inward with them.
"This room is mostly fowl."
Sangko opened the door of a room and said.
As the door was opened. The interior of the room amazed everyone present.
I saw that it was not full of cages as everyone imagined, but was divided into several small rooms by some partitions, each of which had some different furnishings, and some planted a small tree in a huge pot. Some have many perches hanging from either high or low.
Several windows were opened in the back wall of the room. Bright daylight shines here. It was as if it was not in the room, but in the courtyard.
Birds of all colors play or rest in the compartments. A few birds saw the mulberry come in and fluttered happily to get closer.
"Here are some of the birds I bought from the bird market, they are either injured or have some minor flaws, unlike other birds that can be sold for a good price, and most of them are sold directly to the Colosseum in the south of the city as scrap by the vendors, and are used by the people there as prey for training wild beasts to bite."
"I trained them a little bit, and although not every one of them can speak, they don't have to be a little bad in other aspects, and they will be liked in the future."
Xiaobai is the parrot they hung in front of the cute pet pavilion, and the name is still taken by Mulan.
Mengbao naturally knows that it is impossible for every bird to speak, after all, there are different species of birds here, not all of them are talking birds like parrots or wrens, and some are just beautiful in appearance so they are often raised by rich and noble families to enjoy them.
"Those are troughs and ...... Drinking fountains? ”
Monmbo asked, pointing to an identical object in each compartment.
Drinking fountains?
Mulberry tilted his head: "It should be...... yes, I call it a drip. ”
In short, it is something that is used to eat and drink.
Mengbao's jaw was a little closed again, and he was once again impressed by the versatility of the mulberry.
No wonder he didn't worry about the animals starving to death even when he wasn't in the yard every day, he was completely prepared, and these preparations were really ...... High!
The troughs and drips were securely housed in the compartments, each with two small tanks, with which the birds would not starve to death even if the mulberries did not come for a few days.
Several people looked at this exquisite arrangement and design, and all sighed at the ingenuity of the mulberry.
Mengbao had already admired his good craftsmanship, and naturally praised him even more at this moment.
When Mulberry led them out of the birdhouse, his face was flushed, and he tripped over the threshold under his feet, describing him as a wolf.
Shen Nanzhu followed behind him with a calm face, holding Mengbao's hand and wrapping her around her waist instead, holding her tightly by his side.
Mengbao glanced up at him a little inexplicably, not understanding why he could suddenly make such a move.
Although he is often tired of her on weekdays, it is all in private.
In front of outsiders, he usually pulls her hand under the cover of his sleeves, and rarely makes such intimate movements.
The two walked a few more steps, he still didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, Meng Bao thought about it and let him go, anyway, they were surrounded by people they knew very well, and they wouldn't say anything when they were seen.
Mo An Mochou followed behind the two, silently exchanged a helpless look, and then continued to lower his head, looking at his nose and nose, looking like he didn't see anything.
Mengbao and Shen Nanzhu followed Mulberry to see a few rooms, some of which were specially used to raise fish or turtles, and some were dedicated to raising cats and dogs, which were more common animals.
There are not many animals raised by mulberries, except for birds, the most are fish, and the others only raise two or three of each at most.
First, there is no place to raise too much, and secondly, he really doesn't have so much time to take care of it.
There are not many of these animals individually, but together they are a lot, and they are all fed by him alone, and they are all raised so well, which can already be said to be a miracle.
Mengbao almost looked at the small courtyard, followed him to feed some animals, and tossed it into the evening while talking and laughing.
Before leaving, Sangzi suddenly remembered something, went to a large wooden box in a room and took out something, and carefully held it with both hands and walked to Mengbao.
"Miss, this is the little one I just found a few days ago, it hurt a leg, I tried to heal it, and I supported it with wood, and now it can barely walk."
He said with some smug spread out his hand, revealing a black spider in his palm.
I only heard a scream, the whole yard suddenly chickens and dogs jumped, the birds fluttered their wings in the compartment in a panic, the cats and dogs made uneasy barks, and even Xiaoha stood up suddenly from the lying position, bared his teeth and let out a whine, carefully probing the surrounding movements.
Mulberry was frightened by this exclamation, and stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.
Meng Bao had already slammed into Shen Nanzhu's arms while screaming, hugging him tightly.
Shen Nanzhu gently patted her while frowning and scolding the panicked teenager.
"The young lady is afraid of spiders, so don't take it away quickly!"
Only then did Mulberry come back to his senses, hurriedly covered the spider in his hand, and hurriedly put it back into the wooden box.
"Miss, I, I'm ......"
He walked back to Mengbao and didn't know how to speak, his eyes full of deep apologies.
Meng Bao came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It's not your fault, it's not your fault, I'm just ...... I didn't expect ...... You're going to keep this again. ”
Mulberry's head bowed deeply, her hands nervously wrung behind her back, as she had done when she had first met her months ago.
"Don't take it to heart," Mengbao hurriedly said: "This is your own preference, you can raise whatever you like, it doesn't matter." I'm just a little ...... I'm just afraid of spiders. ”
"She's scared of all the bugs that have too many legs and none at all."
Shen Nanzhu added on the side, and there was a little smug in his voice, as if he knew more than others.
Mo An Mochou exchanged glances behind him again: what is there to show off to know what his daughter-in-law is afraid of? I really don't understand......
However, according to their previous style, if he didn't care, maybe he might not know each other's preferences for the rest of his life......
That said, it's something to brag about.
Forget it, anyway, the prince can show off as much as he likes, no matter how strange the point of showing off is, it is his own business.
Hearing this, Sangzi hurriedly sighed: "I know, I will never take out such a thing to show Miss in the future, don't be angry." ”
Meng Bao smiled: "I have nothing to be angry about, you can raise what you like, don't worry about me, I won't come as often as you anyway." ”
It's a big deal, when I come over in the future, I asked in advance where this spider is, and then avoided it......
She thought to herself. (To be continued......)
