Hongling's words touched Mu Chen's heartstrings.

Emotional matters, I can't say for sure, when she wrote a letter to Ren Shaotian, she wrote that she "won't fall in love with anyone again", but after so long, she heard the same words from Hongling's mouth.

Or, Hongling has also had pain, and the relationship between her and Gao Yuan is not something that outsiders can understand, and she may not want to reveal this scar to others.

Just as everything between her and Su Wuxian had been sealed in the dust, like a seal, if it was revealed, the pain would definitely spread throughout the body and penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, and didn't want to dig into Hongling's past, so as not to arouse her sadness, if she wanted to say it, just say it, just say it if she didn't want to.

She just needs to be sure that Hongling doesn't hurt her.

Although when he met Gao Yuan in the tent, Hongling's reaction was indeed very suspicious, but when he heard it, since the relationship has ended, it is normal if nothing happens, whether it is pretending or revealing his true feelings, at least it will not let Gao Yuan have hope again.

Since Hongling dared to confess the relationship between him and Gao Yuan, and also admitted that it had ended, he should not use this relationship to do anything.

The previous worries were too much.

Hongling's should be believed.

Mu Chen turned the topic to the Cangshen Divine Sect: "Since you and Bai Yan are both protectors second only to the sect leader, there must be many people under your command, this time you appear in the ghost city, are there only the two of you?" ”

Hongling replied: "No, the people on both sides of us have been circling since the day you left the capital. The day you saved me, in fact, the two of us fought on the outskirts of the ghost town, Bai Yan set a trap, wanting to trap us there, and then took advantage of the chaos to rush to the barracks to kill you, but we also took precautions, and did not go as he wished, he was chased by me, and chased to the woods, I didn't expect such a coincidence, you didn't stay in the barracks, but also appeared in the woods, and saved me, it's really providence. ”

"And what about your people now?"

"They are all protecting you in the dark, because the sect leader has ordered that you must not be alarmed, so they will not appear openly."

No wonder Mu Chen occasionally felt along the way, in addition to the soldiers, there was also an extraordinary aura, now it seems that those feelings are not illusions, those auras should belong to the people of the Cangying God Sect hiding in the shadows.

The martial arts they have practiced are much higher and stronger than ordinary soldiers, so the aura they exude will naturally be stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, although they will definitely suppress their own aura when they hide in the dark, but Mu Chen's sensitivity is stronger than that of ordinary people, and even among people at the same level of martial arts, her sensitivity is relatively stronger, so even if the other party intends to hide it, he can't hide it from her.

Just like when the escort was leaving, Su Wuxian and Ren Shaotian didn't feel that someone was following, but she did.

Perhaps this is the innate ability, to be precise, the ability of the goddess, even if it crosses, it still has some reservations.

It's just that she is really curious, why the leader of the Cang Shen Sect is so good to her, in fact, her death has no effect on the Cang Ying Sect.

The more Mu Chen thought about it, the more curious he became about the sect leader: "It's a pity that your sect leader is very mysterious, otherwise I really want to thank him in person." ”

Mu Chen had already eaten all the food, and Hongling picked up the dishes and chopsticks while answering: "Actually, I also doubted that the sect leader was so nervous because he knew the prince, but when I heard you say this, I should have thought too much, maybe it was just that the sect leader couldn't tolerate Bai Yan's betrayal of the canon, so he tried his best to stop it, and cleaned up the portal by the way." ”

Hongling thought for a while, and then continued to say in pieces: "However, his martial arts are not what they used to be, and he has improved rapidly in recent times, and if he wants to get rid of him, it is estimated that he will have to wait for the sect leader's dear action." ”

Mu Chen seemed to hear something: "Your church will also come to the ghost town?" ”

"Yes, the sect leader knows that Bai Yan is not easy to deal with, with my ability, I can only delay Bai Yan at most, and try to protect your integrity, but this is only temporary, if you want to do it once and for all, you must eradicate Bai Yan. The sect leader said that he would deal with Bai Yan as soon as possible after taking care of some things. ”

"Oh." Mu Chen nodded suddenly.

That is to say, as long as Bai Yan is not dead, and he is staring at himself, he will have a chance to meet the Sect Master.

In other words, this sect leader is really on the way, and he actually went out in person, whether the purpose is to protect her or get rid of Bai Yan, it is a good thing for her, and it is necessary to get to know her.

"It's strange to say." Hongling suddenly stopped the movements in her hand and thought thoughtfully, "Listening to the reports of my subordinates in the past two days, Bai Yan's people suddenly stopped moving, which is really a bit abnormal. ”

Mu Chen disagreed: "I may know that you are by my side, so I don't dare to act blindly." ”

"Prince, you don't know how cunning he is, and he won't give up until he achieves his goal. I guess he must have come up with some kind of trick again, so he didn't seem aggressive, but anyway, we should be careful. After speaking, Hongling walked out of the camp tent with all the dishes that had been eaten.

Although he didn't think so on the surface, in fact, Hongling's words made Mu Chen not sleep very well this night.

She had a dream, in which she saw Su Wuxian and Bai Yan.

It was a big, empty place, an endless stretch of land, with a few big trees.

Seeing that Su Wuxian was already seriously injured and leaning against a tree, bleeding from many places on his body, Bai Yan raised the poisonous eagle claw that he was good at and attacked Su Wuxie's chest.

And she, who was right next to her, wanted to step forward to stop her, but her hands and feet seemed to be hand-chained with a thousand-pound lead ball, unable to move.

She shouted loudly, hysterically, screaming for heaven and earth, and even the mountains and rivers were in turmoil.

Bai Yan should have heard it, and he turned his head to show a sly smile at her while attacking Su Wuxie.

But why, Su Wuxian was indifferent?

He can't hear, he can't hear.

She cried and watched as Bai Yan's vicious palm fell to the position of Su Wuxie's heart.

I saw that blood spurted out instantly everywhere that palm went.

Looking at Su Wuxie's pale face again, the blood overflowing from his mouth was particularly distinct, as if a bright red suddenly gushed out on a white paper.

His eyes drooped until his phoenix eyes closed completely.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yan disappeared like a gust of wind, and in that bleak and desolate space, only Su Wuxian was left lying there quietly, his whole body covered in blood, and the blood continued to spread on the earthy yellow mountain.

Mu Chen kept calling Su Wuxie's name, her voice was hoarse, she screamed, she screamed, her hands and feet kept struggling, but she just couldn't move.

She couldn't do anything, she couldn't stop anything, she couldn't save anything.

She could only watch powerlessly as the blood slowly dyed the whole picture red, and Su Wuxian was gradually buried in this bright red, and everything in front of her became more and more tragic.

There was nothing left to be nostalgic about, as if she had used all her strength, even her life, and shouted Su Wuxie's name.

Awakened.

Instinctively, she sat up, gasping for air and covered in cold sweat.

Shocked, she reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and looked at the sky outside, which was faintly bright.

It's a dream, but luckily it's just a dream.

But she rarely dreams.

She has always had a good quality of sleep, and even when she is in light sleep, she does not dream, let alone have nightmares.

Does this dream portend something?

If this is the case, wouldn't there be something wrong with Su Wuxie?

No, Su Wuxian is in the capital, Bai Yan is in the ghost town, this kind of thing will not happen.

After saying that, Su Wuxian will not come to the ghost town to find her, no, no...... Don't come.

It must be that he thinks about Su Wuxian every day, thinking about Su Wuxie, and worrying about Su Wuxie, so he has nightmares at night.

It must be so.

She can only keep convincing herself like this, but even she spits on this statement, which is too unconvincing.

The more Mu Chen thought about it, the more apprehensive she became, and the more conflicted her thoughts became, she had too many uncertainties, not sure about the meaning of this dream, and even more unsure whether Su Wuxian would still stay in the capital.

Although she always thought that he should stay in the capital after the break off that night, these were all wishful thinking and inferences on her part, and there was no 100% guarantee that this was true.

That heart, hanging higher and higher, can't be put down.

At this moment, she was especially eager for Su Wuxian not to come.

She couldn't give up all day, and when Gao Yuan and Gao Yi came to talk to her, she couldn't concentrate.

It's really a reversal of roles.

That day, she also scolded Gao Yuan, she had no intention of talking about military affairs for personal matters, and now it was her turn to talk about military affairs for a dream.

However, Gao Yuan and Gao Yi saw it in their eyes at most, and they didn't dare to say anything anyway.

“…… After occupying the mountains of the ghost city, the Qinglong Army did not move to this side for a long time, at most it only occasionally provoked, and every time our Central Plains army tried to regain the territory, it failed. Gao Yuan pointed to the location on the map and explained, "In the last battle, the Qinglong Army defeated our 20,000 troops with only 5,000 elite soldiers......

Gao Yuan analyzed it very carefully, but Mu Chen's eyes never fell on the place he was pointing.

Gao Yuan had already said a lot, but Mu Chen still didn't say a word.

As you can imagine, her ears must not be listening.

Gao Yuan still patiently explained, but Gao Yi was really a little overwhelmed.

"Prince, are you tired? If you're too tired, let's talk about it another day. "Actually, I didn't do anything, how could I be tired, but Mu Chen is the prince, Gao Yi always has to give her a beautiful step to get down.

He didn't know if Mu Chen was really tired, but her tiredness was heart-tired, not physical.

Her face today has not been very good, and her blood is not too full: "If you can, let's do it first, but are you sure that the matter of sending troops is not in a hurry?" ”

Although she really felt that she couldn't concentrate on thinking about sending troops now, after all, the overall situation was important, and if the time really came, she had to try to force herself not to think too cranky.
