Tonight's Mu Jinghong is a starving ghost, and the table is full of dishes, and he is stunned that there is nothing left to eat.

Ling Jiantong looked at the empty plates on the table, and blinked in surprise: "Jinghong, even if you want to praise my field, you don't need to eat so much, right?" ”

Mu Jinghong put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, motioned to his subordinates to clean up the table, and then said: "I don't want to praise your field, the dishes you cook are really delicious." ”

Ling Jiantong was not stupid, she knew how much water was in these words, and she didn't want to puncture it, so she could only hold her cheeks and watch the plates in front of her be removed one after another, and then said, "Jinghong, what are you busy with entering the palace today?" I've never seen you in the palace for that long before. ”

Mu Jinghong looked away and snorted: "It's nothing, my father just wants me to learn more about the affairs of the court." ”

"Really?" Ling Jiantong glanced at him, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "But I heard that Brother Ye came to you today, it seems that it is because of ...... Because of Situ Qianchen's matter. ”

Mu Jinghong was stunned, which mouthy subordinate leaked this news to her?

Mu Jinghong was thinking about how to prevaricate the past, but he didn't expect Ling Jiantong to speak again: "I also heard that the emperor wants to destroy the nine clans of the Situ family, is this all true?" ”

Ling Jiantong's eyes were clear, Mu Jinghong really didn't lie to her, so he could only nod and sigh lightly: "I also just found out this morning." ”

"So......" Ling Jiantong hesitated, but she continued: "So, did you enter the palace today to plead with the emperor?" ”

She didn't ask him if he was willing to save Situ Qianchen, nor did she ask him why he wanted to save Situ Qianchen, but asked him more directly.

Ling Jiantong asked like this, and Mu Jinghong only nodded silently.

"Has the emperor agreed?"

"No, however, I made an exchange with my father, as long as I find Dendrobium and save the lives of Concubine Qi and the child in my womb within seven days, then my father will spare Situ Qianchen's life."

It seems to be expected.

Ling Jiantong lowered her eyes, when she knew the news, and when she sat on the steps and waited for him to come back, she was still full of apprehension, thinking about whether Mu Jinghong, a tendon, would anger the emperor because of Situ Qianchen's matter, and now it seems that he really has some way.

"Dendrobium officinalis, it sounds like a very precious medicinal material, Jinghong, do you know where this medicinal material is sold?"

。

Ling Jiantong's eyes narrowed half-squinted: "Then you still confidently agree?" Seven days, only seven days. ”

Mu Jinghong smiled indifferently, then reached out and touched Ling Jiantong's little head and said: "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, although in Suicheng, I had a falling out with Situ Qianchen, but no matter how I say it, he is also my second brother, and I will not push him into the fire pit." ”

As soon as Suicheng was mentioned, Ling Jiantong's shining eyes slowly dimmed, time can indeed heal the wound and scar, but that feeling of heartache, until today, Ling Jiantong still remembers it unforgettablely.

Mu Jinghong noticed that something was wrong with Ling Jiantong, but he didn't want to mention it more, in the past month, when he talked to her, he tried to avoid Situ Qianchen, today she deliberately mentioned it, he thought it was fine, but now it seems that she still cares about Situ Qianchen in her heart.

That's fine, when he rescues Situ Qianchen, the pimple in Ling Jiantong's heart will be clear, after all, the bell must be tied to the bell.

Mu Jinghong told Ye Zhengbai about Dendrobium, and it took Ye Zhengbai less than a day to find out where this medicinal material was.

Dendrobium is not available in the Tianyuan Kingdom of Nuoda, but there seems to be such a plant in the Tang family of the Dixuan Kingdom.

Just when Mu Jinghong was about to buy it back with silver, Ye Zhengbai poured a basin of cold water on him on the spot: "Dendrobium is a family heirloom of the Tang family, no matter how much silver you spend, you can't buy it." ”

"Since you can't buy it, you can just grab it or steal it." Mu Jinghong's mind lit up and he came out casually.

"No, the Tang family is as master as a cloud, and the dendrobium must be hidden in a place where ordinary people can't find it, it may take a long time to steal and rob, but we only have six days."

"What then? Don't steal, don't rob, don't sell ......"

Ye Zhengbai took a sip of tea, glanced at Mu Jinghong, who was about to go crazy, and said leisurely: "But I heard that the Tang family seems to be holding some kind of martial arts competition to recruit relatives recently, and they want to use dendrobium as a dowry to marry the eldest lady of the Tang family to the Ruyi Langjun who won the competition." ”

Mu Jinghong's eyes were half-narrowed, and he looked at Ye Zhengbai: "What do you mean...... Are you going to participate in a martial arts competition? ”

Burst!

Ye Zhengbai spit out the sip of tea in his mouth, and he glanced at Mu Jinghong: "Why am I participating?" I'm asking you to participate! ”

"Me?!" Mu Jinghong pointed at himself, and then his eyes inadvertently turned to Ling Jiantong, who was sitting on the side, and his eyes seemed to be asking for help.

Ye Zhengbai knew Mu Jinghong's thoughts, and he turned his conversation to Ling Jiantong's body: "Miss Ling, I think about this, you also understand, the face of the third brother is fascinated by how many big ladies in the capital, he is much better than me going, you say, isn't it?" ”

Ling Jiantong looked at Mu Jinghong, who was full of pity, blinked, and replied without hesitation: "Yes, what Brother Ye said is that in this matter, Jinghong is indeed more advantageous. ”

Unexpectedly, Ling Jiantong didn't even hesitate, and directly agreed, and Mu Jinghong was petrified in an instant.

Ye Zhengbai laughed: "Okay, this matter is settled, but before we go to Tang's house, we need to get an invitation." ”

"Invitations? Do I still need an invitation card to recruit relatives in martial arts? ”

"After all, the Tang family is a big family in the Dixuan Kingdom, even if it is a competition to recruit relatives, it must be selected from the candidate family, as far as I know, in the Tianyuan Kingdom, the Tang family only invited the capital Xu family."

Mu Jinghong propped up his head with one hand: "So we have to steal the invitation card from the Xu family first, and then we can go to the Tang family in the Dixuan Kingdom to participate in the recruitment conference?" ”

"That's right."

"Leave the job of stealing things to me." Ling Jiantong raised his hand and volunteered.

This month has suffocated her, so she just took this opportunity to go out and move her hands and feet, otherwise her skills would really degrade.

"No" Mu Jinghong immediately vetoed: "Eyes, how can such a thing as stealing invitations be handed over to you to do?" I'll just go. ”

Ling Jiantong pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and argued: "Stealing things is just a convenient thing, and it's not too dangerous, Jinghong, you just let me contribute, otherwise I feel like a useless waste." ”

"That's not okay" Mu Jinghong would not let Ling Jiantong take another step into danger, but looking at her resentful little eyes, he could only take a step back and say: "If you really feel bored, then when I steal back the invitation, I will take you to Dixuan Kingdom together, how about it?" ”

Ling Jian's eyes were bright, this condition was so tempting, she pretended to be very reluctant and nodded: "Okay, then I will promise you." ”

Ye Zhengbai looked at their noisy appearance, shook his head helplessly, at this time, a woman walked into the hall, glanced at Mu Jinghong and Ling Jiantong, and then said to Ye Zhengbai: "Ye Jiaotou, my young lady has something urgent to find you, please hurry back to the house." ”

Ye Zhengbai nodded in response, and then said to them with side eyes: "If there is something in Fengguofu, I will leave first." ”

Looking at Ye Zhengbai's back as he left in a hurry, Mu Jinghong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed softly: "My eldest brother, it seems that he was completely caught by that Gong Chuyue." ”

Night falls.

Mu Jinghong's night clothes have long been hidden on the eaves of the Xu family unconsciously, although the financial status of the Xu family in the capital is not as good as the Ling family, but it is also one of the largest households, this house is naturally more magnificent than ordinary people's construction, a little more atmospheric.

Tonight is the New Moon, which is perfect for thieves.

Mu Jinghong had already inquired about the invitation and hid it in the Xu family's study, he only needed to sneak into the study secretly when the subordinates were inspecting and changing shifts, and then find the invitation to be done.

He lay on the eaves and watched a group of roving men walk by with lanterns, and he counted the time, so he took the opportunity to tumble down the eaves, tiptoed close to the study, opened the door, and slipped in.

The study was simply arranged, Mu Jinghong went directly to the table and bookshelves, but after looking around, he didn't find any trace of the invitation, he frowned slightly, and was a little anxious, this is less than half a pillar of incense before the next inspection, if he can't find it before this, then it will be dangerous for him to go out.

But where did Xu Yuanwai hide the invitation?

Mu Jinghong was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and looked for a few pictures on the wall, and finally when he touched the last landscape painting, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he searched carefully, and sure enough, there was a dark grid behind the painting, and he found a small box when he opened it.

Mu Jinghong's eyes were bright, and he hurriedly moved the box to the table, and when he opened it, he saw a red invitation card in front of him.

Haha, finally found it.

But Mu Jinghong's hand hadn't touched the invitation yet, and suddenly, the invitation seemed to have wings, and it flew out of the box alive and floated to the beams of the house.

Mu Jinghong was stunned, looked up, and saw another black shadow sitting blatantly on the beam, holding an invitation card in his hand.

Mu Jinghong frowned, where did this kill Cheng Yanjin, and more importantly, he stayed in the study for so long, but he didn't realize that there was actually another person hidden in the room, which shows that the origin of this man in black is not small.

But this invitation is the only thing that can save Situ Qianchen's life, and he can't let anything he say!

Mu Jinghong jumped and handed over the man in the house!
