Chapter 8: The First Sight of the Deceased
When Mu Sheng woke up again, the faint scent of sandalwood filled his side, and when he looked around, the interior of the house was elegantly decorated but gorgeous.
After a large case of huanghuali carved with exquisite wood carvings, Xiaoyi was sitting upright with his eyes closed.
Mu Sheng got up and sat up, adjusted her luck, and found that the poison in her body had almost dissipated, she got out of bed and walked slowly in the direction of Xiaoyi.
"You haven't recovered yet, why don't you lie down for a while?" Xiaoyi raised his eyes and looked, Mu Sheng stopped and stood here.
"The battle conference is over?"
"After you fainted, Gongsun Ying was over. Rest assured, you've won. Seeing Mu Sheng's worries, Xiaoyi relieved her.
"Are you okay then?" With a certain number in his heart, Mu Sheng asked with concern.
"Ahem...... cough..."Before Xiaoyi could answer, he felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground.
Mu Sheng came to Xiaoyi's side with an arrow step, looking nervous, constantly patting his back, and said worriedly: "Why have you held on until now?" ”
"As things stand, that's all there is to it. Anyway. Xiaoyi calmed down a little, and then improved his luck to calm down the injury.
"Why did you bother to do this kind of thing when you knew that I wouldn't be their opponent in half a year?" Mu Sheng never understood what he was doing it for.
"Every move we make now is paving the way for the future, and besides, their ability can't hurt me." Xiaoyi got up slowly, straightened his robe, and didn't forget to wipe the blood on the ground with a handkerchief.
"And what are you wiping? The dead duck has a hard mouth, and at the beginning, you used the method you said to communicate the qi veins of the two of us, and you gave me half of the internal strength, but you don't forget that the qi and veins are connected, which means that the other party will be counterattacked, is it worth it? ”
"What's not worth it? I said to help you, so now tie your life together, so that no one can abandon anyone, isn't that good? Or are you afraid that if you see Yan Qinghan again, you will be ruthless? ”
"I won't." Mu Sheng blurted out.
"I hate him, and I haven't forgotten for a single day in the past six months that he has given me. I'm just ...... Alas, what's the use of talking about it now. Mu Sheng wanted to speak and stopped, and didn't plan to say any more.
Seeing her like this, Xiaoyi stared at her with a smile that seemed to be not smiling, and Mu Sheng was even more annoyed, "Did you listen to me?" ”
"Yes, yes, my good apprentice was worried about being a teacher, okay, you can put a hundred hearts, your master and I are powerful, it's not so easy to fall." Xiaoyi stroked Musheng's head, and said comfortingly with a smile in his eyes.
However, a knock on the door broke the moment when the two were in love with each other.
"Who?" Xiaoyi asked coldly.
"Master Xiaomen, it's me. I wonder if my lover is getting better? Gongsun Ying's voice came from outside the door.
Mu Sheng hurriedly took the power fence and handed it to Xiaoyi.
Xiaoyi opened the door after putting it on, and said politely: "There is the owner of Lao Gongsun who is concerned, and Mu Sheng is no longer in trouble." ”
Gongsun Ying entered the house and saw Mu Sheng standing in the house, so he was relieved.
"How is Gongsun Gongzi's injury?" Mu Sheng saluted and asked.
"Miss Musheng doesn't need to worry, the child's injury is fine." Gongsun Ying waved his hand and said calmly.
"The owner of Gongsun Zhuang is here, but what's the matter?" Xiaoyi asked on the side.
"I'm so busy worrying about it that I almost forgot to get down to business, and a son heard that Miss Musheng is very skilled, so he wanted me to introduce him, but I couldn't excuse myself, so I came to bother the two." Gongsun Ying patted the door of his head and explained his intention.
Mu Sheng looked at Xiaoyi, a smile flashed in Xiaoyi's eyes, and Mu Sheng suddenly understood what Xiaoyi meant before.
"Since this is the case, then the owner of Lao Gongsun Zhuang will lead the way." Xiaoyi responded happily.
Mu Sheng knew that the person they wanted to see must be an old man, but whether this person was Yan Qinghan or not, she didn't know in her heart, and she didn't know, time passed, what Yan Qinghan's reaction would be when she saw her, but it was certain that every time she thought of what happened at the beginning, her heart was still turbulent.
Gongsun Ying led the way, and Xiaoyi and the two followed behind.
Mu Sheng asked in a low voice, "Who is he going to take us to?" Could it be Yan..."Before Yan Qinghan could say the three words, Xiaoyi motioned for her to shut up.
"Don't you know when you arrive, if you come, you will be safe, or think about how to meet your old man." Xiaoyi said in a low voice.
After a while, the three of them came to a dense garden, only to see that entering the garden was a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps were spread into a road. Passing through the verandah, a private room comes into view.
Entering the house, there are white marble pillars standing in the four corners of the room, the walls around are all carved of jade stone bricks, the orchids carved from gold bloom enchantingly among the jade, and the cyan gauze curtains ripple with the wind, showing luxury, which is completely different from the decoration of other houses in Wuling Villa.
A man dressed in a crescent-colored brocade robe, embroidered with gorgeous patterns in green silk, looked very noble, he stood with his back to him, and his face could not be seen.
"Gongzi Jiang, someone brought it to you." I saw Gongsun Ying say respectfully, Mu Sheng knew that this person was by no means an idle person.
"Okay, you go down first." The man's voice sounded very hearty, but this person's voice was not Yan Qinghan's.
The man turned around, about twenty-three or four years old, and looked sober and cheerful.
When Mu Sheng saw this person, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon, it was fleeting, and no one noticed it.
It was him, Yan Qinghan's best friend, the son of the greatest businessman of the Wan Dynasty - Jiang Lingzhou, no wonder even Gongsun Ying would be so respectful and polite to him.
When Mu Sheng was still the queen, he knew that Yan Qinghan had been eyed by his brothers who were also of royal blood since he was a child, and the concubine Lu Lan at that time sent him to his distant relative, Jiang's family, in order to avoid him being murdered.
"The son of the Jiang clan of the Wan Dynasty, Jiang Lingzhou." Jiang Lingzhou introduced himself.
"Jiang Gongzi is so famous, I have heard of it a long time ago." Mu Sheng said lightly.
When Jiang Lingzhou saw Mu Sheng, he was very surprised, "Du Ruosheng! You're not dead!? ”
"Jiang Gongzi said cautiously, the little woman's name is Mu Sheng, her disciple is Xiaoxiao, and she is not the Du girl in the mouth of the child." Mu Sheng explained calmly.
"Mu Sheng? Why have you never heard of Xiao Xiaoyi's disciple before? Jiang Lingzhou's face was full of doubts, and he was half-convinced.
"Jiang Gongzi, the apprentice has been practicing behind closed doors before, and he has never shown himself, and he has only just emerged at this year's fighting conference, and Jiang Gongzi has never heard of it." Xiaoyi stepped forward and explained, protecting Mu Sheng behind him.
"In this way, it seems that this is the master of Xiaomen, who has admired the name for a long time. There are a lot of rudenesses, but this girl looks too much like an old friend of mine, so I will be confused for a while. Jiang Lingzhou apologized, but his eyes never left Musheng.
"I don't know why Gongzi Jiang invited the two of us to come?" Xiaoyi moved his steps, completely blocking Mu Sheng, and Jiang Lingzhou pulled his gaze back.
Jiang Lingzhou straightened his body and said: "It's not a secret, I will take the final winner of the battle conference every year to meet the emperor, and now the royal power is divided into two, and the emperor has to secretly recuperate and wait for the opportunity in order to compete with the power of the queen mother's family." ”
"Shu Xiao is stupid, what does Jiang Gongzi mean?" Xiaoyi pretended to be confused.
"Now that the emperor has no military power, once there is a crisis, there will be no chance to resist, so I am helping him gather secret soldiers in case of emergency. At present, many sects such as Yu Xuan, Wu Zhen, Huaqing, and Bai Jun have secretly served the emperor, and if they can have the help of Xiao Xiao, they must be even more like tiger wings. ”
"The Jianghu Sect has never participated in royal battles, why is it that the Holy Lord still takes the initiative to deal with us Jianghu knights?" Mu Sheng walked out from behind Xiaoyi and wondered.
"If it weren't a last resort, I wouldn't have resorted to this strategy." Jiang Lingzhou's face was embarrassed, showing helplessness.
"Gongzi Jiang, we have never even participated in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, but now we are involved in the royal battle, which is really inappropriate." Mu Sheng approached step by step, and the words were sharp.
"Mu Sheng......" Xiaoyi called in a deep voice.
"If Xiao Xiao is willing to help, Jiang Mou has thanked me here." Jiang Lingzhou's tone was sincere, and he bowed.
This reversal of the situation made Mu Sheng very satisfied, and the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared, and her real revenge would begin from this.
