Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Blade of Shura

Mu Xiu never thought that someone would use the blade to such a supernatural realm, and the speed of the knife that he had been proud of for so many years was like child's play in front of this person.

Mu Xiu closed his eyes, thinking that the knife would quickly cut off his head, he had no intention of speculating on the identity of this person, after all, over the years, there have been countless people who have come to seek revenge, but the difference is that those people have not succeeded in the past.

I didn't want Mu Xiu to wait for the man to make a move, but he heard him speak: "I'm Mu Ting." ”

Mu Xiu opened his eyes in surprise, this is the current Prince Shun and the crown prince Mu Ting of the year?

"I don't want your life."

"What do you need me to do?" Mu Xiu thought that if the person who found him was not to ask for his life, he would have to do something dangerous by himself like other employers.

"I want your loyalty, and I will only serve Mu Ting in the future."

It seems that this Mu Ting's appetite is much greater than he imagined.

Mu Ting didn't wait for Mu Xiu to respond, he withdrew the fist blade in his hand, and picked up the fist blade he had knocked out from the ground.

"This 'Shura' was originally a pair, a hundred years ago it was owned by the world's first assassin Si Ming, and after Si Ming died, he was buried with him, and no one has ever seen this Shura again. Decades later, it was rumored that Si Ming's tomb had been stolen and Shura reappeared, and this coveted treasure immediately set off a bloody storm of competition for Shura. Under the competition of various forces, Shura is scattered in the world separately, I got this "Luo" more than ten years ago, but there is never the whereabouts of "Xiu", and I don't want it to fall into your hands now. As he spoke, Mu Ting handed the pair of "Shura" to him, "Since 'Xiu' is related to you, this 'Luo' should also belong to you." ”

Mu Xiu didn't say anything, but he stretched out his hands and held it, not because Mu Ting didn't give him a chance to refuse, but because he was willing to follow the person in front of him who was stronger than himself.

In the evening of that day, he followed Mu Ting into Prince Mu's mansion and saw his sons and daughters.

The eldest daughter, Mu Yunyi, was very indifferent on her face, and when she saw him, she just nodded slightly and walked past him.

On the contrary, Mu Yunduo, who has no brothers since he was a child, was very enthusiastic when he saw Mu Xiu coming.

"Hello, I'm Mu Yunduo, the son of Prince Shun, and I've heard your stories and legends!"

For Mu Yunduo, whose eyes were shining, Mu Xiu only replied in a low voice: "Shizi." After that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Mu Yunduo scratching his head and standing in the courtyard for some reason.

Mu Xiu had long been accustomed to being ruthless, sinister and cold, and now that someone was suddenly friendly to him, he didn't know how to respond.

During a Chongyang night banquet in the West Dome Palace, Mu Ting couldn't come back in time in the army, so only Mu Yunyi and Mu Yunduo entered the palace. When Mu Yunduo left the house, he saw Mu Xiu passing under the corridor, so he insisted on taking him to the palace with him, saying that he would introduce a few interesting friends to him.

However, after entering the palace, Mu Yunduo was quickly pulled away by several sons, and he couldn't take care of Mu Xiu, who had just arrived.

Mu Xiu was happy and relaxed, and sat in the corner by himself. He looked at the luxurious and majestic palace in front of him, the decent conversations of the aristocratic families, the self-sufficiency and skillful demeanor, and the graceful and elegant dresses of those sons and daughters, and he felt more and more that everything here was so incompatible with himself.

As the banquet gradually ended, when the emperor and the queen left the banquet, Mu Xiu also wanted to find Prince Shun and others out of the palace, but when he got up, he almost bumped into a man wearing a light gold brocade robe and about the same age as Mu Xiu, and he was followed by several young men who were also well-dressed but obviously respectful to the man.

"Who doesn't have long eyes that dares to stand in the way of Young Master Ben?"

Mu Xiu didn't say anything, wanting to turn around and leave.

Several people behind the man stepped forward to stop Mu Xiu, and one of them stepped forward and said to the man courteously: "He is the new kid from Prince Shun's Mansion." ”

When the man heard this, he looked at Mu Xiu with a playful face, "You are the kid that Prince Shun brought back in Qisha?" ”

Mu Xiu remained silent.

The man then said in a shrill voice, "Didn't you hear Young Master Ben speak?" How do you want to leave? Oh, and it's no wonder that a poor sour guy like you, who doesn't even have palace clothes, really doesn't deserve to be here. Don't think that if you enter Prince Mu's mansion, you will become half a master, you will always be a miscellaneous person from Qisha. ”

The man deliberately raised his voice, causing the people around him to turn their eyes on Mu Xiu and start whispering.

Mu Xiu clenched his fists, but he didn't have a seizure. Yes, what he said was not wrong, he didn't belong here.

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded in everyone's ears: "I don't wear palace clothes either, so you're going to kick me out, aren't you?" ”

Mu Xiu looked back at the source of the voice, it was Mu Yunyi.

When the troublemaker saw Mu Yunyi coming, he immediately smiled flatteringly: "It turns out that you are the county lord, how can you naturally be the same as those lowly subordinates?" By the way, I have a few new jars of century-old wine in my house, I don't know when the county lord is free, how about coming to my house to taste it? ”

Mu Yunyi recognized that this was Tao Wei, the son of Tao Jiang, the son of Hubu Shangshu, and glanced at him in disgust: "I'm not interested." After that, he walked straight past him and took Mu Xiu's hand, "Let's go." He left the hall where the banquet was held in amazement as everyone looked at him.

After leaving the main hall, the two walked on the road leading to the palace gate, away from the sound of silk and bamboo, and finally became much quieter.

Mu Xiu reacted as if he had reacted to something, and immediately took off Mu Yunyi's hand holding him, and said slightly stiffly: "Thank you." ”

Mu Yunyi saw Mu Xiu's embarrassment, and pretended to be relaxed: "I don't like this kind of palace banquet either. Looking at those fake flattering faces, it's really ridiculous and boring. ”

Seeing that Mu Xiu was still silent, just following behind her, she turned to Mu Xiu and said, "I used to hear people call you 'Xiu Wuye', and the word 'Xiu' comes from your fist blade, so what about your own name?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiu frowned slightly in embarrassment, and lowered his head a little crampedly.

Mu Yunyi realized something, and suddenly raised his head and said to him: "The word 'Xiu' is very good, so I will call you Mu Xiu in the future." ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiu slowly raised his head, and what met him was Mu Yunyi's firm and clear gaze.

"Okay?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Mu Yunyi asked tentatively, for fear that he would have some resistance in his heart.

"Okay." Mu Xiu nodded, and even read it in his heart: Mu Xiu.

At this moment, Mu Xiu was the first time to take a closer look at this Mufu county lord. The waist-length long hair that is as black as ink is loosely tied behind his back, without any accessories in his hair, fair skin, red and smart eyes, small and heroic nose and thin red lips, I don't know if it is because of the moonlight, or Mu Xiu's illusion, Mu Yunyi at this time is not as angular as he usually sees, but there is a trace of tenderness.
