Chapter 14: Debate
It was already evening when Mu Chen returned to the Evergreen Palace, and when he returned to the room, there was a violent snoring sound, looking for the snoring sound, and found that the Wenren Witty Words had fallen asleep on the table, and on the side of the Hearing the Sayings, there was a big man wearing a silver robe with a dark face and walked in.
When he saw the man, he slowly stood up from the ground, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Second Master Mu." ”
The person who came was Mu Zheng, the younger brother of King Wu, that is, Mu Chen's second uncle.
When Mu Zheng heard this, his black face was slightly stunned, and finally said slowly: "This is a family, why do you have to be so angry?"
"It's just a title, and there is not much difference between the second uncle and the second master. ”
Mu Chen shrugged his shoulders and looked at Mu Zheng indifferently.
"In my image, you have always been a gentleman, but these two meetings, you have brought me a different feeling. Mu Zheng looked at Mu Chen with a smile, but Mu Chen didn't seem to buy the account of the person in front of him at all, and said indifferently: "The second master has a lot of opportunities, presumably not to greet me!"
Mu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded secretly: "You are really smart, it seems that your mother's death has a great impact on you, so that you have completely changed your previous atmosphere, if Concubine Shu sees it, she will be very happy, and Jiuquan will also die blindly--you are right, I did come here for something this time, I Mu Zheng has always paid attention to fairness and reason, let you compete with Starlight, it is obviously unfair, contrary to my creed, but I have to do it, I hope you understand." ”
"Because Mu Xingguang's talent is good, if someone really wants to sacrifice, my qualification waste will inevitably bear the brunt as the first sacrifice object, I see that the Wen people come to propose relatives is not simply to propose, after all, they choose to Wen people's witty words and I Mu Wangfu said that it is not appropriate to be inappropriate, as far as I know, the relationship between the Wen family and the Mu family is not harmonious, and the person behind the Wen family is the royal family, so the real initiator should be the royal family, it is precisely because of this that the second brother Mu who is like thunder will feel that this matter is tricky, rightMu Chen asked rhetorically.
Mu Zheng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that Mu Chen standing in front of him was so strange.
The vision and mind definitely belong to the master, could it be that Concubine Shu's matter really made Mu Chen completely change from beginning to end?
"You're reasoning right. Mu Zheng nodded.
"You came to me, just to talk about yesterday's events, to rub away the guilt in your heart, and to let your martial arts heart not be blinded by the shadows, if that's the case, then you don't have to, because even if you don't say it, I will take the initiative to challenge Mu Xingguang. ”
"Even if you know you're going to lose?" Mu Zheng frowned.
"I will never fight a battle that I am not sure of, and if I dare to challenge, there must be a reason to challenge and a determination to win. Mu Chen stood with his hands in his hands, and he said in a cold voice, "What is seeing is believing, hearing is false, knowing what is not seeing is not necessarily believing, and hearing is not necessarily false? Why do you think that I will definitely lose the battle with Mu Xingguang? instead of winning? In the same way, when Ji Shaoguan was in the first incident, everyone thought that I was the thief and spurned me, who had ever thought about the reason behind it? This must be the case?"
Mu Zheng frowned slightly, obviously the question Mu Chen said was not the one he wanted to talk about.
"On that day in the Great River Palace, I think I have already made it very clear that everyone has stolen money, and no matter how much they say, it is just quibble. ”
Mu Chen nodded, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "I know that you think that I have always been stubborn, not doing my job, and spending all my time drinking, so it is reasonable for such a thing to happen, it is precisely because of your thoughts that all my explanations have become justifications, but it is also right, in the martial arts world, only hard fists are qualified to speak, and hard fists can be unreasonable, now I will reason with you, maybe a year, maybe two years, when I can be unreasonable, say this again, I don't know if you still think that you can quibble?"
"Arrogance!" Mu Zheng's expression was solemn.
He felt that his sixth nephew was very strange now, as if he had changed completely.
"Arrogance and justification are the same thing, and when I have a hard fist, I can be accepted. Mu Chen stared straight at Mu Zheng and said loudly, "Actually, you said from the moment you came in that you put fairness and reason very seriously, but in my opinion, you haven't really done these two things." ”
"Good boy, you are the first person to dare to speak to me like that. ”
Mu Zheng's dark face didn't have much expression, but his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Mu Chen like that.
Mu Chen waved his hand when he heard this, and retorted: "It is the Martial King who is standing in front of me today, and I will say the same thing." ”
Mu Zheng showed a smile on his face when he heard this, and he nodded: "Very good, as a prince of the palace, he should have such blood." ”
"Wangfu boy?" Mu Chen shook his head self-deprecatingly when he heard this, his eyes gradually turned cold, and a cold-to-cold chill erupted from him, "Wangfu boy, I'm sorry, when my mother died that day, I had nothing to do with Mu Wangfu - my mother desperately interceded for me, but the people in the palace turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, my mother died in Ji Shaoguan, but no one stopped him, not that he couldn't stop it, but chose to ignore it, Mu Wangfu gave up on me, gave up my mother, then I also gave up Mu Wangfu." ”
Mu Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard this, his tone was full of coldness, and he frowned: "Just say this to you, I can convict you of a crime, originally I thought that you would change, but I never thought that it would be so stupid? You remember! It was you who killed your mother, and the palace has the dignity of the palace, what kind of thing happens, the best way, the palace can only choose to be silent, otherwise the palace will become the target of public criticism, and only the death of your mother can save your life!"
"Yes, the palace has the dignity of the palace, but the dignity is defended by itself, not given by people, if the palace advocates finding out the truth and giving the people an explanation to the court? I think the court cannot refuse, the people cannot refuse, but the fundamental reason why you choose to remain silent is nothing more than believing that everything is done by me -- if you believe that seeing is believing, then I will definitely let you know that seeing is not believing, and hearing is not necessarily false. Mu Chen was not afraid of Mu Zheng's coercion at all, and continued to refute.
"Based on these words of yours, even if I kill you, there is a good reason, you must understand that if you are not the son of the Martial King, you are already dead at this moment. ”
Mu Zheng waved his sleeves and left angrily.
Looking at Mu Zheng's departing back, the corners of Mu Chen's mouth raised a cold arc, wanting to kill him? It's hard to say in other places, but in his Evergreen Palace, even the martial artists in the early stage of the Xingyuan Realm must have come and gone, because he had already arranged a three-level trapping and killing array in this Evergreen Palace, and although he was not proficient in the formation in his previous life, he had seen a lot, and it was easy to set up a three-level trapping and killing array.
Of course, he believed that Mu Zheng would not kill him.
Muwangfu Luanque Palace, at this moment the queen is leaning on the bed to close her eyes and recuperate, and the two maids on the side are beating their legs and pinching their backs, and outside the gauze curtain of the bed, a cold wind blows, the queen's eyes open slightly, signaling the two maids to retreat, at the moment they retreat, a black figure quickly appeared outside the curtain.
The black figure took off its heavy veil, revealing an extremely bewitching cheek, this was a woman, and a very beautiful woman.
"Quicksand greets the Queen. The woman slowly knelt down.
Seeing this, the queen motioned for the quicksand to rise, and she said aloud, "Where is the cold wind?"
As the queen's words fell, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside Quicksand, this person was dressed in black robes, even the mask on his face was jet black, and when he saw the queen, he immediately knelt down to greet him.
"Get up!" the queen nodded.
"Queen, what are you calling me and Quicksand for?"
"King Wu suddenly came with news, saying that he had returned from training, so he had to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause of Mu Chen's waste and the shadow behind it to kill me. The queen's voice was cold, without the slightest emotion, he set up Ji Shaoguan's bureau at that time, that is, he understood that Concubine Shu's character and excessive doting on Mu Chen would inevitably protect Mu Chen desperately - but his bureau was very good, and Concubine Shu was indeed dead, but who would have thought that Mu Chen would survive.
Even as an opponent, she can't help but have a sense of respect for Concubine Shu, the other party is indeed a qualified mother.
Leng Feng's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his voice trembled and said, "Wang ...... Queen, kill the prince, this matter is so high, that you have already got rid of her mother, and you have solved your stumbling block, so what can you do if you leave that waste alive?"
"You know what?"
Hearing this, the queen said angrily, "King Wu is extremely fond of Concubine Shu, although he is indifferent to that Mu Chen, but Concubine Shu's death will inevitably make King Wu furious, and Mu Chen is Concubine Shu's only child, what if he transfers his love for Concubine Shu to Mu Chen? ”
"But the queen, if Mu Chen dies, the competition between the third prince and Mu Chen will be meaningless, and who should marry the daughter of the Wen family at that time?" Leng Feng asked rhetorically.
The queen said indifferently, "I have already agreed with the mother family of the imperial city, the marriage of the third prince and the Qin family's two thousand gold Qin Qiling has been decided, and even the royal family of the Wen family will not be able to say anything at that time, even if these don't work, it's a big deal to let the heir of Concubine Duan marry the little daughter of the Wen family." ”
"Leng Feng, what are you afraid of, in fact, the sixth prince is not a waste, that day the fourth prince went to look for trouble with Mu Chen, that kid was able to cast a spell? According to the spell he cast, it can be seen that the level is not low, such a person will definitely not be able to stay." Quicksand said compassionately, as her words fell, the queen was even more murderous towards Mu Chen, proficient in talismans? If this matter is known by the Martial King, it will inevitably make Mu Chen pay attention to the Martial King, which is something she will never allow to appear.
"Even more so I want to kill him. The light in the queen's eyes grew colder.
When Leng Feng heard this, he had already acquiesced to the queen's approach, if this was the case, then Mu Chen really couldn't stay.
"But the shadow behind the sixth prince is really a bit troublesome? Last time, in order to cooperate with the queen's strategy to frame the sixth prince, I lured that guy out and was almost killed by him, but fortunately the cold wind appeared, and the two of us were able to deal with him, and then he may have realized that he had fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he quickly got rid of us. Quicksand spoke slowly, and there was still a palpitating expression on his face.
"The strength of that shadow is so strong?" the queen was amazed.
"Not to mention being strong, I can conclude that the shadow of the six princes among the seven shadows is definitely the first. The shrill voice of the cold wind sounded again.
The expression on the queen's face became more and more embarrassed when she heard this.
Could it be that King Wu's lack of attention to Mu Chen is just a surface, in order to deceive the world?
She waved her sleeves and said coldly: "If this is the case, you will summon the extension, and the three of you should deal with the shadow behind the six princes and the six princes." ”
Quicksand nodded when he heard this.
Leng Feng stood in place and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and the queen said coldly when she saw this: "If you have something to say, when did it become so unfavorable?"
Leng Feng nodded when he heard this, and said: "Actually, it's just a subordinate guess, some time ago, when I was dealing with the shadow behind the sixth prince with Quicksand, I once felt a very strong aura, and I felt this aura outside Concubine Shu's bedroom, Queen, do you think there is also a shadow hidden behind Concubine Shu?"
The queen froze in place when she heard this, and the expression on her face kept changing, as if she was thinking about the reliability of Leng Feng's words.
After a long while, she let out a long breath and said coldly: "Regardless of whether there is really a shadow behind Concubine Shu, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, you will also call the Blood Demon, with the strength of the four of you, it is enough to kill the martial artists in the early stage of the Star Yuan Realm, even if there is a shadow behind Concubine Shu, then what?"
"Yes, my subordinates understand. Leng Feng nodded.
"Don't reveal your identity. The queen commanded.
"Yes, the disguise technique of quicksand, even the martial artists of the Xingyuan Realm can't see the clues, please rest assured. After the two left, the queen's eyes showed a touch of coldness, and she muttered to herself in a low voice: "Qianqiu! Qianqiu, at the beginning, you treated me like nothing for the sake of the wind and smoke, and then you snubbed me for Concubine Shu, and I gave birth to four sons for you, and accompanied all my youth? ”
The queen clenched her fists, and a tear quietly ran down her face.
