"You agreed to him so easily?" The two of them entered the house, and Mu Sheng asked unwillingly.

"Naturally, my plan for half a year is for today, and now that the opportunity has come, of course I must seize it." Xiaoyi said calmly.

"Then you're really scheming." Mu Sheng pursed his lips, not knowing whether to praise or depreciate.

"The words are not accurate, this is obviously called taking precautions!" Xiaoyi corrected it seriously.

Recalling the past, looking forward to the present, Mu Sheng smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that after so much time, their battle has not stopped, and I didn't expect that my way of revenge would be to get involved in this battle of theirs again." ”

"Some things are involuntary, as long as you protect yourself in this fight and make them pay the price they deserve." Xiaoyi said with relief.

"Xiaoyi, thank you." Mu Sheng looked at Xiaoyi, his eyes flashed with a soft light, and his words were sincere.

In the face of Mu Sheng's thanks, Xiaoyi felt ashamed in her heart, if she knew that she was just using her from beginning to end, how ironic this thank you would be to her.

Xiaoyi smiled unnaturally for the first time and didn't answer, but Mu Sheng didn't notice it.

"Will you enter the palace with me tomorrow?"

"Yes, it's not too early, your body has just recovered, so rest early today." Xiaoyi saw that Mu Sheng seemed to be uneasy, and said comfortingly.

"Hmm." Mu Sheng nodded slightly.

After sending Xiaoyi away, Mu Sheng also rested early, after all, tomorrow is the day to really face the battle.

……

In the early morning, the fog spirit mountain is filled with a thin cloud mist, light around the mountainside, as if to tie a milky white belt for it, the misty is mysterious, hazy with delicate, to the fog spirit mountain to add a charming color, in this illusion of real intoxication, some people also put on layers of veils.

Mu Sheng walked out of the door and walked through the verandah, wearing a blue-green brocade skirt, with a white waist embroidered with cyan orchids around her waist, and her long hair pouring down, flowing water on the side, which was really elegant and vulgar.

"Miss Mu, it's early." Jiang Lingzhou didn't know when he came to meet him, and when he saw Mu Sheng, he stopped and greeted.

"Jiang Gongzi is early, I am about to go to find my master, does Jiang Gongzi want to be with me?" Mu Sheng said gently and politely.

"No need, I still have some things to deal with, Miss Jiang will take care of herself, and we will go back to the palace together at that time."

"It's okay, then I won't bother Gongzi Jiang."

Jiang Lingzhou looked at Mu Sheng's departing back, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Like, even this unworldly atmosphere is so similar." I don't know how Akan, if I saw you, how would I feel? ”

In front of Xiaoyi's door, Mu Sheng knocked lightly on the door and said casually: "Xiaoyi, it's me." ”

The door opened, and Xiao Yi was dressed in a snow-colored robe, and her black hair was tied up casually with the breeze, and Mu Sheng was pulled into the house.

"Why haven't you put it on yet? I met Jiang Lingzhou just now, but fortunately he didn't come with me, otherwise, it would be good-looking. Mu Sheng pointed at Xiaoyi in surprise and said with a forced smile.

"Jiang Lingzhou? Did he say anything to you? Xiaoyi asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Having said that, he said that he had finished handling things, and we would set off back to the palace together."

Xiao Yi was silent, and then reached out and took out a leather mask from his arms.

Mu Sheng was really puzzled by Xiaoyi's abnormality: "Leather mask? What do you take it for? ”

"Do you think I can still bring a fence with me when I enter the palace?" Xiaoyi's gaze swept to Mu Sheng and asked rhetorically.

Mu Sheng pretended to think, "I'm afraid not," and then asked, "But I'm curious why you keep refusing to show your true face?" ”

"I'm afraid that on the day when I show people with my true eyes, I don't know how many things will be wrong." Xiaoyi turned around and muttered.

"What?" Mu Sheng didn't hear anything clearly, turned to him, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing." Xiaoyi shook his head slightly.

Xiaoyi put on the leather mask, and the fresh and handsome face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a plain, plain-looking face.

Seeing that he had sorted it out, Mu Sheng handed him the fence that he had already held in his hand.

After bringing the power fence, as soon as the two of them left the room, they bumped into Gongsun Ying and Jiang Lingzhou, who happened to come.

"Gongsun Zhuang Master, Jiang Gongzi."

"Has the master of Xiaomen packed up? If there's nothing else to prepare, we'll be ready to go. ”

"It's all packed."

"Where's Miss Musheng?"

Mu Sheng nodded in response.

"Master, the carriage is ready." At the right time, the little guy came from not far away to report for duty.

"Master Xiaomen, Master Jiang, let's go this way." Gongsun Ying led the way, and several people walked outside the villa.

After saying goodbye to each other, the three of them set off for Wanchao.

"I don't know if the master of the Xiao Sect has ever heard of the destruction of the Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's Mansion who originally followed His Royal Highness the Prince's faction eight years ago?" Inside the carriage, Jiang Lingzhou suddenly asked.

Mu Sheng's eyes secretly swept towards Xiaoyi, and he didn't see anything unusual about him, and Xiaoyi's eyebrows trembled slightly at this time, and his eyes were full of coldness.

"Never." Xiaoyi said slowly.

"I remember that the son of Prime Minister Xiao is also named Xiao Yi, but it is different from the main character of Xiaomen."

"What does Jiang Gongzi mean by this?"

"Eh, don't misunderstand, Master Xiaomen, I just think it's a coincidence, just ask casually. I don't know what the name of the master of Xiaomen means? Jiang Lingzhou smiled lightly and asked.

"Xiao is deep and clear, Yi is open-minded and gentle, sensitive, Xiao Yi is elegant, open-minded and tolerant."

"It's a good name, it's a good name." Jiang Lingzhou praised.

"But I don't know what happened to Xiao Yi that Jiang Gongzi said in the end?" Xiaoyi under the fence observed every change in Jiang Lingzhou.

"At that time, I was still young, but I heard from the elders that none of the Xiao family had any living mouths. If he is lucky enough to live, I only hope that he can live in peace and not get involved in the struggle of the royal family again. Jiang Lingzhou's tone was calm and regretful, which made Xiaoyi a little unexpected.

"This innocent person is not spared, let alone a person who has been dead for eight years, Jiang Gongzi is really kind-hearted." Mu Sheng seemed to be dissatisfied and said on the side.

"Miss Mu, how can this be confused?"

"Why not? Jiang Gongzi didn't personally involve us innocent people. ”

What Mu Sheng said made Jiang Lingzhou speechless.

"Mu Sheng, Jiang Gongzi is thinking about the overall situation, you must not say this about him."

"Master Xiaomen doesn't have to excuse me, what Miss Mu said is extremely true, but now that the general trend is the same, a few people can be spared from this." Jiang Lingzhou said earnestly.

Mu Sheng looked at Jiang Lingzhou silently, the Jiang Lingzhou she knew and saw before was a cynical and unruly gentleman, although he was good friends with Yan Qinghan, but he never participated in these, but now it seems that I don't know if he was well disguised back then, or forced by the current situation.

I don't know how long I walked, but at dusk, the carriage arrived at the foot of Wan Chao.

The three men got out of the carriage and walked towards the city gates.

"I heard that the sect mansion of the master of Xiaomen is in the Wan Dynasty, so the two of you must be very familiar with Wan Chao City."

"Qingxiao is in the suburbs outside the city, in an obscure place, and we rarely come to Wanchao City on weekdays." Mu Sheng explained.

"I see, no wonder the two of you are not familiar with me, no one in Jiang Lingzhou in this Ten Thousand Dynasties City does not know, no one knows!" Jiang Lingzhou suddenly brightened, as if he had solved the doubts in his heart for a long time.

Mu Sheng couldn't help but secretly say to himself, where is the situation compelling, it's just pretending to be in front of outsiders, and sure enough, he still looks like a gentleman.

The three of them soon came to the palace gate, Jiang Lingzhou signaled the token, and easily entered the palace gate.

However, after half a year, Mu Sheng re-entered the palace gate, but it was like a world away, everything was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Mu Sheng walked through the long white stone steps in front of the Chengyuan Hall and kept looking back.

"Miss Mu, I see why you look thoughtful, but what impression do you have of this palace?" Jiang Lingzhou saw Mu Sheng's strange appearance and asked.

Mu Sheng came back to his senses and said lightly: "I haven't been here, how can I have any impression, it's just that I am curious to see the majestic palace." ”

Jiang Lingzhou was not reconciled to this, approached Mu Sheng, and said leisurely: "Miss Mu is so elegant and refined, will you be curious about this?" I think you are possessed by Du Ruosheng, so you will linger here. ”

Xiaoyi quickly pulled Mu Sheng over, and his tone was slightly stiff: "Please don't tease the apprentice, the emperor is still waiting in the palace." ”

"Forget it, you martial arts cultivators are so boring." Jiang Lingzhou waved his hand and strode forward.

When they arrived at the Chongzheng Palace, Jiang Lingzhou pushed the door straight in like entering his own study, and the two followed closely behind.

In the hall, the man was dressed in black, his face was expressionless, his wheat-colored healthy complexion, his shaved eyebrows, his high nose bridge, thin but tight lips, and a pair of dark eyes looked at Mu Sheng behind Xiaoyi from time to time.

"Qi Guang, where is your master?" Jiang Lingzhou looked around before asking.

Qi Guang seemed to be accustomed to it, and said solemnly: "It will be here in a while, and I invite Jiang Gongzi and the two to wait." ”

From the palace gate to the Chongzheng Palace, except for the soldiers guarding the door, there was not a single soldier again, and no one collected their swords, Mu Sheng couldn't help but wonder if it was arranged by Yan Qinghan in advance, or whether there was really no one in the palace who cared about Yan Qinghan's safety.

Jiang Lingzhou is like a roundworm in Mu Sheng's stomach, whatever she thinks, he will say.

"You have to thank me, I have always heard that you are weapons and must not leave your hands, so I sent a letter to the emperor in advance, otherwise your swords will be collected at the gate of the palace, but of course, if someone wants to mistreat the emperor, it is impossible to leave alive."

It's just that none of the two of them bought Jiang Lingzhou's account, and they didn't pay attention to him.

But when Jiang Lingzhou had a moment of leisure, he saw Qi Guang's doubts at a glance, came to his side, poked Qi Guang, signaled with his eyes, and whispered: "How is it, does it look exactly the same as Queen Du?" ”

"She's the winner of this year's Fighting Tournament?" Qi Guang looked at Mu Sheng again before asking.

Jiang Lingzhou nodded in affirmation.

"I don't know if the emperor will ...... when he sees her," Qi Guang couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, your master is measured." Jiang Lingzhou patted him on the shoulder and said with relief.
