Chapter 218: Under the Divine Decree
Zhao Wuwu didn't know what Mu Baili meant, she only knew that he was holding her hand tightly and kept walking forward. The long corridor was cold to the bone, but the warmth of his palm was enough to warm people's hearts and make her forget the fear in her heart.
He carefully took her hand and looked back at her from time to time.
She smiled faintly, and sometimes he looked back at her, and she thought it was a little funny. In the eyes of the world, this nine-thousand-year-old Mu Baili is in the hands of life and death, and when will he blink his eyes when he kills. But in her eyes, he has become the existence of the warm sun of March.
warmed people's hearts and warmed her past and present lives.
It's like that sentence: Even though you have never said love, I am willing.
Finally, he stopped, and in front of him was a stone door. Zhao Wuwu didn't know what was behind the door, but she knew that as long as he held her hand, she would dare to go down with him.
"The ugly daughter-in-law also has to see her in-laws, even if you are so colorful, you are really inferior to me by three points, and I can barely accept you. Otherwise, if someone else puts you on the table in the future, you will be unlucky. "He always doesn't forget to say that she is ugly.
She sighed lightly, "It's really mine to get in the way of Chitose Ye's eyes, if Chitose Ye dislikes it, it's too late to regret it now." Chitose Ye just rest assured, I will definitely carry forward my ugly appearance, find a few people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and spend the night with me. β
He glanced at her, "What a shame. β
She smiled, "If it's ugly, then don't want this face!" Save the thousand-year-old from worrying every day! β
He looked at her helplessly, and sure enough, he couldn't say her, so he had to lower his posture, "If you don't care about it, how can you worry about it?" If you fold it in your hands alone in this life, you won't lose it. It's justβ" He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, "not day and night, but night ......"
She rolled her eyes, "Scoundrel." β
Taking a deep breath, Mu Baili's eyes were slightly dark, and he gently held her slightly cool cheeks, "Hehuan, don't regret it." β
She was stunned, and he had pushed open the stone door with his backhand.
The stone chamber was empty, there was nothing, except for two tombstones standing in front of it, which looked like a tomb, but not like a tomb. It is not easy to make a cemetery in such a secret place.
"What's going on?" Zhao Wuwu was stunned on the spot.
Mu Baili smiled a little coldly, took her hand, and walked slowly forward, "This is the mound of my father and queen mother, saying that it is just a thought, I don't even dare to put my clothes." β
How many people are staring at Dongchang staring at him Mu Baili, how dare he be negligent. If this thing from the Tilan Kingdom appeared here, if it was noticed, as long as it was sent to the emperor, all Mu Baili's hard work would be in vain.
It is impossible for a cautious person like him to leave evidence for anyone.
Even these two tombstones are not engraved, at best they are just two wordless tablets!
But for Mubary, this is the only thing he can do for his parents. Leave two wordless tablets as thoughts, and when you are upset or have something, come and see them, and talk to your parents. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be filial and does not wait, which is probably the greatest sorrow in this world.
Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "They know that you have this heart, and they won't blame you." β
"In the past, there was a fire in the palace, and the royal city was on fire." Mu Baili smiled bitterly, "Nothing, nothing." A storm caused all of Tiran to disappear across the northern borders. Hehuan, I have no home and no roots, and I will only have you in the future. β
She was stunned and looked at him fixedly.
He said, there will only be you in the future.
Ten fingers clasped tightly, Zhao Wuwu frowned slightly, "Mu Baili, my mother is dead, and I have no home." From now on, I will only have you. β
Kneeling in front of the tombstone and kowtowing to the two elders, as he said, one person at a time is considered fair. He kowtowed to his mother-in-law, and now she also kowtows to her in-laws, which is considered to be a complete part of this affection, and no one can violate the oath made to the emperor and queen.
Mu Baili hugged her to her feet, "We Tirans swear to the true gods, and we must do what we say. β
She smiled, "Just like you and Xue Lan?" Because of the jokes when you were young, you have to marry her? β
He frowned, why did this girl mention Xue Lan again, didn't she see his serious appearance?
"We people in Daye will also swear, but you and I should talk about it in detail with the old man, and engrave the Sansheng Stone, which will not invade by wind and rain, and will remain unchanged for eternity." She thought about it, then took off the jade pendant on her body and stuffed it into his hand, "This is the only thing my mother left me, and it is as important as my life." Now I give my life to you, and I hope that Lang Junzhen will be very important. β
He smiled, immediately kissed her lips, reached out to wrap his arms around her slender waist, and clasped her in his arms, "Okay! β
She shook the bone flute in her hand, "I take everything you give, I take it with me!" β
After that, she reached out and went to his arms to take out something, and after some fumbling, she smiled with great satisfaction: his arms also hid her jade flute. It's good, carry it with her, and it's not in vain that she treasures the bone flute he gave so carefully.
Everybody - it's even!
As she withdrew her hand, he took the opportunity to hold her wrist and slowly pressed her palm to his heart, "Remember this heartbeat, no matter what happens, this place belongs to you." This is the promise of my Grand Prince Tiran, the Prince Ran Heng. The yellow sand is scorching, and we swear to the death. β
She looked at him stunned, "Why are you suddenly so sensational?" Mu Baili, don't tell me, you have something to hide from me? β
Mu Baili smiled, put his hands on her waist, and lifted her to sit on the stone platform beside her. This embarrassing posture made her face redder slightly, and then looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.
Her eyes were sharp, and she was used to having very vicious eyes, so it was really difficult for him to hide from her if something happened.
The atmosphere seemed to become a little awkward, and he looked at her with a smile and did not speak, and she stared at him in thought. In this cold stone room, only each other's breath blends and flows, and nothing else.
"Lord Zhao will always be vigilant, right?" Mu Baili smiled, "It's good." β
"Are you leaving the capital?" She asked.
He smiled, "This seat suddenly has a sense of accomplishment, such a smart woman will eventually sink under this seat and can't extricate herself, it's really amazing." He wrapped his arms around her and leaned down to gnaw at her white neck.
She cupped his face and stared at him, "Don't worry about him, what do I ask you?" You're leaving the capital, aren't you? You were weird last night, and you asked Lu Guoan to remind Su Xi that you must protect me well, and I thought that you might be leaving. You're going to the wilderness? To be an envoy? β
Mu Baili looked helpless, "You are a person who can see everything thoroughly, is it interesting?" β
"Seeing through it can minimize everyone's damage to themselves. I don't want to be led by the nose, and I don't want to be stabbed without being prepared. She looked at him fixedly, "Mu Baili, I was able to live strong without you before, and I will live well with or without you in the future." I promised my mother that I would not disappoint her. β
Mu Baili nodded, "Then now, treat yourself as my Mu Baili's wife, and promise again." He smiled softly, his fingertips gently stroking her forehead, "The emperor will give an order soon, and I will leave for the wilderness as soon as I accept it." It's been a long time, and if anything happens to you, I may not be able to come back. If you are in a hurry, you can go to Shen Yan, and I will still leave him in Dongchang. β
She nodded, "I understand." β
"Hehuan, my trip is imperative." He stopped what she wanted to say.
Everyone knows that it doesn't have to be Mu Baili to go to the wilderness. He is the admiral of Dongchang and is 9,000 years old, so he really can't afford to go to the wilderness to take risks. But Mu Baili's reason is that his martial arts are strong enough to deal with the turmoil of the wilderness, and if the two sides make a move, he will have a better chance of winning than anyone else, and he will retreat.
All of Zhao Wuwu's words were stuck in her throat, she knew that he was giving her time to prepare mentally, and she also understood why Lu Guoan said that he was just waiting for the meaning of the holy decree.
Under the Divine Decree, there is no room for manoeuvre.
He was afraid that the will would be too sudden, and she would not be able to accept it for a while, so he had been doing her homework since yesterday.
It's just that she doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand, why should she go to the wilderness? Huanglan and Daye are now on the verge of war and peace, and it is extremely dangerous to go to Huanglan at this moment. Once the wilderness turns its face, there is no return.
What's more, the main battle of the East Factory, let the people of the main battle negotiate peace, which will inevitably cause criticism.
Zhao Wuwu didn't know how Mu Baili persuaded the emperor, but she vaguely felt that this move was not like Mu Baili's battle of will, but like there was something hidden.
"Since your trip is imperative, I will not stop you, I just hope that you can return safely." She paused, "You have to remember, I was waiting for you in the capital." But if you forget, then I will forget you, and from now on we will rejoice. β
He sighed, "Is there anyone in the world who is more ruthless than you?" β
She said, "Only if I am ruthless, will you think in your heart and return safely." Mubary, I warn you one last time, if you break your word and get fat, then I will find a new love. I won't cry for you, and I won't die or live for you, I'm Zhao Wuwu. β
Mu Baili chuckled twice, "Yes, you are Zhao Wuwu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I am also my own Hehuan girl." β
She pursed her lips, "You went to the wilderness, are you really just here to negotiate peace?" Mu Baili, don't try to fool me, I'm not the emperor, I don't eat your set. I want the truth, if you don't want to tell me, I can ask the emperor myself. β
"Huanglan has what the emperor wants." Mu Baili looked at her meaningfully, "That thing is extremely important to the emperor. β
"What's that?" Zhao Wuwu was puzzled.
Mu Baili took a deep breath and looked at his parents' tombstone with gloomy eyes, "In the desolate royal family, there is a treasure. Have you ever heard of a snow fox? β
Zhao Wuwu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, is there anything important about this snow fox?" The emperor also wants to get the snow fox? "If the emperor wants it, then this thing is amazing, and it is estimated that it is linked to the emperor's great cause of cultivating immortals.
This is indeed the case.
Mu Baili continued, "This snow fox is the treasure of the world, born in the snowy region, it can be regarded as a spirit fox. The emperor heard that this spirit fox can help cultivate the way of immortals, so he asked me to go to the wilderness. So I pretended to make peace on this trip, but it was for Snow Fox. β
"In other words, you have to go to the Wasteland Palace?" Zhao Wuwu can always grasp the most critical thing in one sentence.
He knew that he couldn't hide from her, and he couldn't get her in a circle. This brain is really too sober. Sighing lightly, Mu Baili had no choice but to nod, "This thing is very rare in the Barren Palace, so if you want to get the Snow Fox, you have to go to the Barren Palace." But don't worry, if it really doesn't work, then I'll go to the snowy region. β
"You think a few words will send me away?" Zhao Wuwu got off the stone platform, "Are you a fool for me?" Going to the snowy region? It's no wonder that your eyes are black, and you don't freeze to death. Such a rare thing, the monarch of the desolate land must send people to look for protection day and night, how could he let the snow fox run around in the snow. If there are a large number, it is not uncommon. β
Mu Baili smiled, "Don't be angry, go sideways and vertically, and take a look at the current situation." β
"Go sideways, then you can go!" She walked out, "I've done enough of this preparation, you can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me." β
"Acacia?" He was stunned for a moment, and immediately dragged her, "Angry? β
Zhao Wuwu let out a long breath, "Let me ask you, what is the effect of the snow fox?" β
Mu Baili smiled and said nothing.
"Don't tell me you're here for me. You're not the kind of person who would volunteer, especially in this matter, you're fighting instead of peace, so I definitely have reason to believe that you're definitely recommending yourself to go to the wilderness. Zhao Wuwu looked at him coldly, "I want to tell the truth." β
Mu Baili frowned at her, "Can't you let me leave a touch for you?" β
"If you don't come back, will you leave me with emotion? That's guilt, and there's regret that I can't make up for in this life. Mu Baili, my life is my own, I don't want to be at the mercy of others. Whether it's you or my father, one is using the other to save, but have you all asked me? Zhao Wuwu shook off his hand.
"Even if it's to save, I want you to be honest and not wishful thinking to do those things for me." Zhao Wuwu's face turned slightly pale, "Mu Baili, do you really like me?" β
He stared at her, "What do you say?" "This life is willing to give up for her, and still ask such a question?
"Then you should take my feelings into account." Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "I know, you are all for my good, but you can't make decisions that make me regret it for the rest of my life in the name of being good for me." If one day I work hard for you, are you willing to accept it? β
He was stunned, and his eyes were slightly dark.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." She suddenly threw herself into his arms, "I know, saying so much can't change the ending at all." The emperor is obsessed with cultivation, and he will definitely order you to do it. But I hope that no matter what I decide, you will also support me. β
He hugged her tightly, "Don't you regret it?" β
"As you said, you have no home and no relatives, only me." She whispered.
Mu Baili smiled, "When you say this, don't take it so seriously, I will be moved, and I may not know what to do when the time comes." You should understand that when a man makes up his mind, it can be terrible. β
"So you've made up your mind to be entangled with me for life and death?" She asked.
He scoffed, "Isn't that what I should ask?" As a woman, you robbed me of everything I had to say, so what should I say? β
"You just have to answer, yes or no." She looked up at him.
He stared, "Yes!" β
Ten fingers are tightly clasped, life and death are not negative.
When she walked out of the dungeon, the moonlight outside was charming, and the light moonlight was like mist, shallow on her. He set his mind to look at her pale face, the most unforgettable, the time spent with her.
She stood in the courtyard and glanced at the closed door behind her, "How long did it take you to get this?" β
"It's been quiet, and I didn't dare to alarm anyone, so it's been a long time." Mu Baili stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Zhao Wuwu who was standing in the courtyard. The white clothes are better than the snow, the face is shallow, and the corners of the lips are faint smiles.
She smiled, "I think that your father and mother are in the spirit of heaven, I should also feel gratified." You'd better not mess with me in the future, otherwise those three old spirits in the sky won't let you go. β
He scoffed, leaning over, "Yes, ma'am." β
She was stunned for a moment, rarely smiled shyly, and turned her face away from looking at his scoundrel appearance.
However, he still had to send her back to Shangshu Mansion to listen to the wind building in person, so as to avoid more trouble. The love and hate of two people are mixed with government and the current situation, and it is not so simple.
His feet were fast, and she slept peacefully in his arms, and when she opened her eyes, she had returned to the Wind Listening Tower.
On the soft couch, he supported his forehead with one hand, and roamed freely on her body with the other hand. On her dark face, the pair of moist phoenix eyes fell on her faintly. As if waiting for her to wake up, he dismantled her into the abdomen.
"I suddenly remembered something." She looked at him from side to side, his hands beginning to restless.
He smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"You asked me to be careful of Jinyiwei, but Zeng Qian asked me to be careful of Dongchang." Zhao Wuwu was meaningful, "Do you know what this means?" β
Mu Baili smiled, "That means that the case of the Jiaofang Division is likely to be deliberately done by my East Factory." Accidentally washed the Dragon King Temple, and I didn't recognize my family. β
"Earlier, I thought that someone wanted to shake the emperor's trust in me in the Ministry of Rites, so I started from the Department of Teaching." She was short of breath, "But tonight, the witness was almost killed, and Zeng Qian secretly warned me to be careful of Dongchang." Suddenly, it dawned on me that this time it was not for me, butβbut for the drunkard's intention not to drink. β
She quickly squeezed his restless hand, "Don't make a fuss, IβI can't stand it." β
His tone was heavy, "Why don't you continue?" Well? β
Zhao Wuwu's pale face flushed slightly, "I, I'll tell you the truth, you Dongchang be careful about this matter, don't be at that time, when the time comes...... Hmmm......"
He blocked her lips, swallowing each other's breath freely, sweeping away the beauty that belonged to her. His eyes were full of desire, "As long as it's not for you, it doesn't matter." If you are thoughtful, you are truly thoughtful. β
Warm fingertips, climbing mountains and wading through water, stirring the pond full of wind and clouds.
She struggled to push him away, but she was weak, so she had to look at him with a confused expression, "Don't ask for it, don't go too far." β
He climbed on her body and looked at her helplessly, "It's you who is too much, didn't you see that the second brother has protested?" β
She trembled slightly, "You're a manβwhatever, just ......"
"Don't worry, I won't want you." He thought he must be crazy, "As long as you don't let go, I will definitely respect you and won't have sex with you." Of course, if you beg me, it's different. β
She bit her lower lip tightly, and her body was already tense to a certain extent, "I told you Mu Baili, you are like this, you are like this, sooner or later, you will have retribution." I, I ......"
But he could no longer speak.
He is a veteran, and she is a novice to learn. Therefore, from the beginning to the present, he has the upper hand in the matter of the bed. She was helpless, but she was also happy in her heart.
A beautiful room, there are no seasons in the place where you are, and it is always warm as spring.
Zhao Wuwu was tossed so much that he had no strength in the end, even though he adhered to her covenant of filial piety, but in the end it was better to break the vows. He was comfortable, but she was awake for a long, long time, and did not fall asleep until dawn.
This guy is a master, he can teach people to think, but he almost failed to stick to it in the end.
That's what he wants, she thought!
He didn't feel good, and she didn't feel good, so he waited for her to "die together".
The next day, Mu Baili left early in the morning, and Zhao Wuwu still slept deeply.
Until Su Xi came to knock on the door, saying that there was a holy decree from the palace.
Zhao Wuwu sat up in shock, although he had been mentally prepared, but at this moment, his heart was still beating terribly. Only then did I realize that my body was trembling slightly.
The head of the palace gave Mu Baili a holy decree, which meant that he should go to Huanglan to negotiate and talk about the conditions for peace.
Everyone knows that Mu Baili is the main battle, and the meaning of the emperor is also obvious, and it is imperative to negotiate peace. The emperor did this, but everyone was surprised, let the nine thousand years old go to the wilderness to negotiate peace, is it considered to push people into the fire pit?
But when I thought of Mu Baili's murderous appearance without blinking, I felt cold again.
No one can guess what the emperor thinks in his heart. The king, who ignored the government, suddenly made a strange decree and made an unbelievable decision.
Even Zhao Song and Xiao Rong also wondered, and they didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do for a while.
Zhao Song hurriedly entered the palace, and Xiao Rong, who was neutral, naturally did not say a word, and remained silent. However, this time, Zhao Song failed to meet the emperor.
The emperor said that it was for the peace of the people in the world, for the sake of the country's glory for thousands of years, so that the heavens would see the king's sincerity. So the emperor decided to burn incense and bathe, and then Bigu for three days.
For everyone, this is a strange king.
What does the foreign policy of the Huanglan Kingdom have to do with the heavens, there is no need for the emperor to go to Bigu to burn incense and bathe. Doing so will only make Arashi think that we are afraid of them.
But the emperor is the emperor, he likes to be hungry, can you still force it?
For a while, there were many speculations in the palace about the news that the nine thousand years old was ordered to go to the wilderness to negotiate peace. The emperor's will came abruptly, and this decision was also abrupt, although it was impossible to think about this strange immortal cultivator king with the mind of a normal person, but ...... It's just too unreliable.
"Childe, this is ......" Su Xi frowned, "Go to the East Factory?" Or into the palace? β
Zhao Wuwu shook his head, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" β
Su Xi was stunned, "Childe? β
"There's a big incident in the court, shouldn't I go to my father to discuss?" Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath and walked slowly outside, "Let Wen Gu bring it, I'll drink it and leave." β
Su Xi narrowed his eyes, "Go right away." β
Last night, until it was confirmed that Zhao Wuwu was back, he didn't dare to rest. Such a big thing happened early this morning, and the entire capital is already well known, and the review is naturally known.
He thought that Zhao Wuwu would be sad, but he didn't expect to meet Su Xi halfway, but he asked him to prepare medicine.
"It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and you can't eat more after all." Wen frowned, "The last time I was in the palace, didn't you suffer enough?" If you rely on medicine to pretend to be sick every day, sooner or later you will be exposed. β
"Let you go, why are you so verbose?" Su Xi was displeased, "Childe is now carrying his heart, so you don't have to say a few words." β
Wen sighed lightly, "I'm worried about her body, I'm always worried about this and that, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." Her foundation is not good, how can she withstand such a toss. He turned around with a chattering voice, "I really don't have to worry at all." β
Su Xi held the sword in his arms, raised his eyebrows to look at the back of Wen Gu's departure, "This old man with a hard duck's mouth." β
Waiting for Wen to come back with the medicine, Zhao Wuwu was already waiting under the pear tree. The white clothes are better than the snow, and they stand with their hands in hand. Her gaze fell on the pear leaves, her lips pursed, and her heart was heavy.
"Are you really going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Asked in a low voice.
With a light sigh, Zhao Wuwu turned to look at him. There was no warm smile on his face, and there was a little more unrelieved sorrow, "I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is such a big thing in the court, if I can't stand by my father's side, it will arouse suspicion." β
She reached out and took the decoction from the tray, and drank it all after she settled down.
Wen opened his mouth, and finally looked like he wanted to say something.
"Don't worry about me, you won't lose a piece of meat if you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." She coughed lightly, "I'll take the county lord with me, and try to make my father feel that I'm on his side." β
Stunned, she's - explaining?
Zhao Wuwu didn't look at him more, Mu Yao was already waiting at the door, this time she still had to cooperate with Zhao Wuwu.
"I just don't understand, Dongchang received the holy decree, what does it have to do with us?" Mu Yao didn't understand.
Zhao Wuwu walked slowly in the long corridor, "You must know that Dongchang's trip is to negotiate peace, but the content of the peace negotiation is the key. The barren land is a barbarian state, and some things must be very tricky. If Dongchang is simply in charge of one person, whether it is the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Qi Yu Palace, or even the entire imperial court, it will be very passive. β
Mu Yao suddenly realized, "That's the case." However, since you can think of this, I think the prime minister can think of it too. β
"That's nature." Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, "So I'm just going through the motions, so as not to have more suspicion between father and son, thinking that I have two hearts." β
Mu Yao bowed her head and followed Zhao Wuwu into the carriage.
The review has been sent to the door, Zhao Wuwu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't go with him, so as not to cause trouble for Zhao Wuwu. But the worry in my heart is getting deeper and deeper. In his eyes, the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Longtan Tiger's Den.
Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Zhao Wuwu is also correct.
When she led the county lord into the prime minister's mansion, Zhao Song frowned.
Chen Ping stepped forward, "Xiangye, the prince is probably here for the emperor's holy decree, right?" β
Zhao Song's eyes were slightly dark, "What does she want to do?" "This girl's mind is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
