Yuhong frowned and was embarrassed, "Thank you very much for your favor, but ......"

"It's okay, there's no urgency, you don't have to feel the pressure, anyway, I have an open door here, and I can reserve a seat for you at any time, even if you can't be teammates, you can be friends. ”

"Sister Hong. The boy turned to look at the woman.

Yuhong sighed helplessly, "Xiao Rui, the head of the regiment is kind to me, unless he expells me, otherwise I will not be able to leave the group easily." ”

The boy opened his mouth and stopped talking, but he was obviously sulking, and the atmosphere became a little stiff for a moment.

Mu Ran watched the two interact, and basically guessed a little bit from the words, and suddenly the corners of his mouth hooked.

The two of them are like this, it seems that the situation in the group should not be ideal, and this matter probably can't be good, if the scorpion leader is really a good person who knows everything and sees everything, then it's okay, but if not, then it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to stay forever.

She really admires the two of them, Yuhong knows at a glance that she is a person who understands the overall situation and attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is extremely rational, and her own ability is also good, she should have been in the mercenary group for a long time, needless to say, experience.

And this young man named Xiao Rui has reached the level of a great martial artist at a young age, if there is no special opportunity, then this talent can already be counted as a genius.

If these two people are cultivated, they will definitely be a great help.

And she had also considered it before, to form a mercenary group and train a few mercenaries, not only to help find materials, but also to plan to break into the mercenary association, and at this time it is essential to find experienced people.

Early the next morning, the three of them put out the bonfire and continued on their way.

It was almost after noon that they were out of the forest.

"Okay, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, just separate here, I hope to see you again in the future. "Out of the forest and over the small mountain range, Mu Ran wants to go to the left, and they want to go back to the town on the right, so they can only part ways.

"Well, thank you this time, be careful along the way. Yuhong bowed slightly.

"Goodbye, Sister Lingmu, if you have a chance in the future, you will come to see us in the scorpion group. The boy was also very reluctant.

Although they had only been together for less than two days, and the conversation had only been last night and today, it did not prevent him from having a good impression of this very easy-going and friendly woman.

is also an alchemist, and he is still a dual cultivator of medicine and martial arts, compared to Lin Yan'er, it couldn't be better, with a good temperament, frank and kind, not pretentious, the pride and arrogance of the alchemist have not been seen in her, in the eyes of the young man, she is simply perfect.

After walking for almost a while, Mu Ran released the horse from the space after making sure that there was no one around.

She didn't plan to stay, so she decided to take a shortcut through the mountains.

While on the road, he explored and collected materials, and by the way, he honed his skills, and by the time he arrived in the royal capital, it had been another month.

Looking at the plaque on the city tower, I don't know what emotions have risen in my heart, probably because of my hometown's timidity.

After hesitating for a while, he dismounted and led the horses into the city.

The royal capital is still unchanged, and it is still as lively as ever.

Dressed in dust, she didn't plan to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly like this, but went to the new courtyard, she was eager to know everything that happened in the past year.

She had always been outside with a veil, so the guards of the new courtyard also recognized her, and when they saw that she was back to say hello, they let her go.

"Is Qin Xue here, and who is there in the courtyard now?" Mu Ran asked the guards casually.

"Miss Qin is not here, she usually comes over at night, and Siniang and Miss Li are not there, but do you want to call Miss Qin over?"

"No need. Mu Ran shook his head and refused, and walked towards the warehouse.

Closed the door, put out all the things obtained from this trip, and it took a long time just to tidy up, and put the ones you want to use into the space, and put the ones that you don't need for the time being in the warehouse for others to use, and then make out some high-grade spirit grass that has been stored in the space.

The original spirit grass in the space, which needs to be graded by year, needs to be planted by year, and most of the unwanted grass has been put away and put in the warehouse of the space, and the seeds have been replanted in the ground.

Before you know it, it's evening.

If it weren't for the knock on the door, she wouldn't have noticed.

"Master, you can come back. Seeing that it was really Mu Ran, Qin Xue had a rare look of excitement on her face.

"Heh, haven't seen you for a year, miss me?" Mu Ran clapped his hands and teased with a smile.

"Yes, we all think about the master, and we have been looking forward to the master's return, and Miss Lin often comes to ask. Qin Xue said with a smile, in fact, she wanted to talk about that one more.

They didn't know why the master was obviously looking for the prince, but he didn't come back with him, and the prince didn't mention it except that he only sent someone to look for him secretly, but the cold air and oppression around him became more and more terrifying day by day, and in the end, even King Xuan didn't dare to approach him.

However, after she sent a letter back half a year ago, the prince's situation was better.

Mu Ran smiled and didn't continue to tease, and the two returned to the study and began to let Qin Xue tell her what happened this year.

Regarding Feng Linglang's situation, it is basically the same as what she said.

But to be more precise, Feng Linglang was removed from power for three years, and he was also allocated a third of his troops, in addition to that, his reputation and prestige were somewhat damaged.

As for the others, it's all good.

Siniang has successfully become a fifth-level cultivator in this year, and the planting situation in Yuzhou is also very good.

Li Shufen went to Liuzhou, which was the fiefdom of Feng Linglang.

Generally, the princes who are crowned princes and marquis for merit will get a fief, just like Jingkang City in Jingkanghou.

Liuzhou is Feng Linglang's fiefdom, but this fief was chosen by Feng Linglang himself back then, in order to facilitate the garrison, so it is relatively close to the border.

Qin Xue was originally Feng Linglang's person, and Mu Ran never said that she couldn't let him know, so the situation on her side basically knew everything about Feng Linglang, so it was understandable to give the fief to Li Shufen to make trouble.

And I have to say that it is indeed the safest and most confidential place, which she hadn't thought about before.

Li Shufen's situation is not easy to say, it seems that it is still in the experimental cultivation, vegetables and fruits are different spiritual grasses that can be spawned with spiritual energy, and they still have to be in accordance with their own growth period, with spiritual water, so the time is longer.

And then there is the family, a while ago, Lu Kaiyan helped Mu Ran a lot because Feng Linglang helped him with a lot of things, so he helped him defend Feng Linglang when he was criticized, but he was suppressed by the right minister's faction, and accidentally angered the emperor and was fined for half a year, but there was nothing else.

"By the way, master, there is one more thing. ”

"What?"

"Lord Hou wants you to go back to the Hou Mansion, saying that you have reached the age of saying that you are married, and it is not good to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you have come to the door with the third lady several times, and the Lord Xiang finally refused on the grounds that you went to the Valley of the Divine Doctor, so the master should be careful when he goes back on this trip. Qin Xue couldn't help frowning when she said this.

"Third lady?" Mu Ran frowned, and after thinking for a while, he remembered this concubine with a very low sense of existence, and he almost forgot her existence without mentioning her.

She actually came to the royal capital, and accompanied Ling Hao to the door, it seems that there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to be overlords.

She didn't know much about this third lady, most of what she knew in her previous life was what Xue Niang said, and she had only met this third lady and her fifth brother Ling Zirui twice at most, it seemed that these two people did not end very well later, anyway, she didn't find any clues about these two people in Ling Mansion later.

"What do you mean by kissing, what do they have planned?"

"Since the relationship between the master and the predecessor of the Medicine Saint spread, people from the Ling Mansion and the Xiang Mansion have often come to the door, and most of the words of the Xiang Mansion have been blocked back by the Xiang Ye and Mrs., as for the Ling Mansion, it is not clear. ”

Mu Ran was a little puzzled, she felt that no matter how bad Ling Hao was, he should not be a person who sold women for glory.

"Okay, I see. By the way, that ...... cough, he, is the prince still in the royal capital?" she wanted to ask this question when she saw Qin Xue, but she was embarrassed to open her mouth.

Qin Xue's gaze immediately took on the teas, "Which prince, King Xuan?"

Mu Ran glanced at her, narrowed her eyes again, and said with a slight warning, "You understand." ”

"Ahem, the two princes are usually in the mansion and rarely go out. Qin Xue pursed her lips and said, still with a smile in her eyes.

They rarely got along with each other in the past without dignity, but for some reason, she felt that there seemed to be something different when the master came back this time, on the whole, it seemed to be much easier and lighter, and the whole person became smart, as if a certain shackle that had been binding her body to restrain her disappeared, so that she couldn't help but relax.

"Got it, get me some hot water. She waved her hand in disguised embarrassment and chased the showman away.

"Yes. Qin Xue withdrew with a smile.

When the room was empty, the silence made her sigh again.

I took a comfortable hot bath, put on a simple dress, and dragged my long wet hair to the garden to bask in the moon.

Looking up at the night sky, there is a crescent moon in the starry spots, how long has it been since there has been such a quiet moon viewing.

When I was busy, I always wanted to take time to rest for a few days, but now I suddenly feel uncomfortable when I am free.

"Who!" The sudden power fluctuation in the air made her look at her, and she subconsciously turned to look, and saw a slender figure slowly walking in the corridor.

Even though the "......" was just an outline, it was so familiar that she couldn't breathe, and the hand on her chest unconsciously tightened her clothes.

Looking at each other, the touch of this eye seems to have passed for many years.

Mu Ran only felt that his eyes were hot, and the figure in front of him was also blurred, as if he was just looking at flowers in the fog.

A cold wind blew in his face, and the black shadow was already in front of him.

"Don't cry. ”

Familiar voices, familiar looks, familiar feelings, familiar sights, tears lingering in the eye sockets rolled down instead.

Mu Ran pushed his hand away, sniffed and took a step back, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "What are you still doing, haven't you given up." ”

Feng Linglang was stunned, and then understood what she said about giving up, and couldn't help but look complicated, looking at her deeply, but did not step forward again, with a little pain and a little persistence in his eyes, "I won't give up on you, no matter what the reason, Ran'er, you are the first woman I fell in love with, and you will be the last and only one." ”

Mu Ran looked stunned, couldn't stop his tears, and bit his lip lightly, yes, you won't give up on me, I've always been giving up on you.

Taking a deep sniff, she said, "Then why don't you come to me?"
