Chapter 292: Rotten in the Stomach
Within a few days, a group of four people rushed to the territory of Xuanyuan, and there were no accidents along the way, Murong Qianran was afraid of being targeted, so he deliberately let himself and others dress more modestly, and she also changed her appearance, the four of them rode by, like a chivalrous man, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
It's just that in the cities they passed, it was found that each city gate was very strictly checked, and Murong Qianran and the others were knights of the rivers and lakes at a glance, this kind of person ran around all day long, and all countries had it, so they passed smoothly.
However, Xuanyuan Capital City was not so easy, and the four of them almost emptied all the silver taels on their bodies before they bought a city gate guard and infiltrated the city.
The scene in the city is a bit depressed, not as lively and prosperous as Beiming, there are only scattered hawkers on the streets, and they don't dare to sell loudly, and there are even fewer pedestrians on the road, probably because of Xuanyuan Che.
Since he exposed his strength, he has changed the blood inside and outside Xuanyuan City, although the people dare not speak, but they can still hear a few words of gossip more or less, which is nothing more than to say, the current emperor is too ruthless, where is he still thinking about the people, searching the streets and alleys all day long, making the people miserable.
After many officials were replaced, they were either disabled or innocently dead, and the three fires of the new officials made the people dare not go out, for fear that they would violate the taboo of others and be locked up.
The sun is shining, the spring breeze is blowing, and it is obviously a scene full of vitality, but when I get here, it is like coming to another world, and the people dare not speak out, and the people are panicked.
Mu Lejin went to find an inn, and the four of them stayed in the inn, and after arriving in the room, he ordered two subordinates to hide their bodies and go to Xuanyuan Zijin's prince's mansion to explain the matter and see if Xuanyuan Zijin had any intention of cooperating.
It wasn't until the evening that the two returned, and one of them explained the situation to Murong Qianran.
"Back to the master, that Xuanyuan Zijin didn't want to see each other at first, and then I don't know what he thought, I saw the two of us, I explained the master's meaning to him, but did not reveal the identity of the master, he first thought about it for a while, and then agreed, tonight and the master in the Yuquan Mountain Lianghua Pavilion to meet."
Yuquan Mountain Lianghua Pavilion? After thinking about it, Murong Qianran asked again: "Is there a villa over there?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Back to the master, yes, the villa has been vacant for a long time, no one has ever lived in it, and the owner of the villa has long since returned to heaven."
Hearing his subordinates say this, Murong Qianran breathed a sigh of relief, Xuanyuan Zijin is no longer the weak scholar and indecisive person he was at the beginning, he has been low-key for many years, but he has not been able to make Xuanyuan Che doubt him, it can be seen that this person's acting skills are not ordinary, moreover, Xuanyuan Che is a royal scandal, Xuanyuan Zijin is definitely unwilling to let superfluous people know, now, fortunately, the villa is not his, but he can also see it, maybe he can still talk to her if he meets, but I don't know if people still remember.
At midnight, the cool breeze was blowing, extremely comfortable, the moon was in the sky, swaying the ground, like silver sand paving the ground, Murong Ranran only took Mu Lejin to go alone, and let the two subordinates wait at the inn to answer.
Yuquan Mountain, is a very famous mountain in Xuanyuan, there are many naturally formed hot springs in the mountains, many rich people, are willing to come here to take a bath, the top of the mountain is the villa, however, the Lianghua Pavilion is not over there, but on the other side of the mountain, but it is also very close to the villa, through a small road.
The mountain is full of shrubs, new branches and buds, wild flowers, and a faint fragrance in the breeze, making it a great place for an outing during the day.
In a blink of an eye, Murong Qianran and Mu Lejin came to the mountain pavilion with light skills, and walked a few steps to the Lianghua Pavilion, the pavilion was very large, standing far away on the side of the mountain, there were several peach trees around, and as Murong Qianran continued to approach, they could also smell a light peach blossom fragrance.
There was a candlelight in the pavilion, and a back was faintly visible, and Murong Tianran was startled at the moment, wasn't that Xuanyuan Zijin?
She quickened her pace and came to the outside of the Lianghua Pavilion, and before she could speak, she heard Xuanyuan Zijin's voice first.
"It seems that you are very insincere, I am alone, and you are still afraid that I will hurt you"?
Murong Qianran was slightly stunned, and then understood that he meant to say Mu Lejin, and then, she waved her hand at Mu Lejin, "You go down the mountain and wait for me."
Mu Lejin glanced around, a little hesitant, although he didn't notice any abnormalities around him, but it was inevitable that others were higher than him? Leaving his master here alone, he was also a little uneasy.
Seeing that Mu Lejin didn't move, Murong tilted his phoenix eyes and reprimanded: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Mu Lejin saw that his master was a little annoyed, so he had to walk down the mountain, but he still observed the surroundings from time to time.
"Now that you're here, let's come in and have some supper."
Murong Qianran was no longer polite, a silver moon-colored man's shirt wrapped around his petite body, his appearance was stunning, and a pair of blood-red eyes first attracted Xuanyuan Zijin's attention.
"Is that you"? Xuanyuan Zijin looked incredulous, he frowned, stared at Murong Qianran's face and said.
Murong Qianran didn't think so, smiled indifferently, and bowed his hand: "Brother Zijin, don't come unharmed"?
"It turns out that the female devil rumored in the rivers and lakes is you"? Xuanyuan Zijin was still shocked.
Murong Qianran didn't deceive, nodded, shook his robe, sat on the stone bench, and said slowly: "I won't hide it from you, I came to you today, you know the purpose, I don't want to say more, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
She went straight to the point, Xuanyuan Zijin came back to her senses, picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Murong Qianran, and held one by herself, "I can see you again today, it's also fate, what you said, put it aside for a while, let's have a drink first."
Xuanyuan Zijin's move made Murong Qianran obviously suspicious, but he didn't show it, took the wine glass, sniffed it in his nose before drinking, and then dared to drink it.
"Come, drink again", Xuanyuan Zijin poured another cup for Murong Ran, raised it himself, and drank it with his neck up.
After seven or eight cups of this, looking at Xuanyuan Zijin's face again, it was also a little red, and if you looked carefully, there was also a little sadness between her eyebrows, and Murong Qianran's cheeks were also pink, looking at Xuanyuan Zijin's expression, she also understood what he was thinking.
This kind of thing happened to the royal family, he swallowed his anger for so many years, he couldn't show his talents, and he couldn't show his ambitions, which is the most taboo and saddest thing for talented people.
"Actually, I didn't know that the person I wanted to cooperate with was you", before Murong could persuade him, he spoke first, "You and I have some friendship, I believe in your personality, after all, you and I are considered to have known each other, and that matter is rotten in the stomach."
