Chapter Eighty-Four: Footsteps in the Night
The sky was dark, and Xia Yifeng was flipping through the folds, while scanning Mu Yan and Mu Moheng beside her without a trace. Seeing that Mu Yan had been sitting on the bed with a gloomy expression, without the slightest happy appearance, the corners of Xia Yifeng's mouth rose slightly, and then picked up a stack of unfinished songs, got up and walked outside.
"Your Majesty, are you going to ......" Zhu Jinzhong, who had been guarding the door, couldn't help but ask suspiciously after seeing Xia Yifeng's actions: "It's so late, are you still going to go to the imperial study?" ”
"Hmm." Nodding, Xia Yifeng did not hide his tiredness, and casually handed the heavy fold in his hand to Zhu Jinzhong. said: "There is no way, what should be dealt with must be dealt with after all." ”
Without further words, Xia Yifeng slowly walked towards the imperial study. And the moment he left the dormitory, the smile on Xia Yifeng's face disappeared, and he couldn't find the childish and calm expression he had when he was messing with Mu Yan just now.
With a worried look, Xia Yifeng walked slowly to the study. Pushing open the door and looking at the empty room, Xia Yifeng waited for Zhu Jinzhong to light the candle, then sat alone behind the table, bowing his head and falling into deep thought.
Ice Red Snow Lotus ......
Repeating these four words silently in his heart, Xia Yifeng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light from time to time.
It's really not easy to get this Ice Red Snow Lotus. Even if he swore to Mu Yan, Xia Yifeng still knew in his heart that it was really difficult to do this......
As a last resort, Xia Yifeng was not prepared to exchange this Ice Red Snow Lotus with Yin Bingchen under any conditions. Because Xia Yifeng knew that if Yin Bingchen agreed and was willing to hand over the Ice Red Snow Lotus to himself, then Yin Bingchen would definitely open his mouth and make a bad decision about the land of Yixuan Kingdom.
Thinking of Tang Wei and Qi Heichu, who were now in the Cangming Kingdom, Xia Yifeng's brows moved slightly. It seems that it is time for Tang Wei to take action......
"Your Majesty." Just as Xia Yifeng lowered his head and pondered, Zhu Jinzhong's voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Ziluo ask to see me."
Listening to Zhu Jinzhong's words, Xia Yifeng's expression was stunned. Because he didn't expect that Xiao Ziluo and Liu Yiyi would come back so soon. According to their speed, they should have set off immediately after they left Yun'an City, right?
Thinking of Liu Yiyi's decision to be given by Murong Zixuan, Xia Yifeng pursed his lips helplessly. As the so-called day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves. That Murong Zixuan's trick was really good, and it actually used the people around him Xia Yifeng!
"Let them in." After giving the command, Xia Yifeng found a comfortable position in the chair and sat lazily on it.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Xia Yifeng looked at the two people who walked in, nodded at them with a smile, and then glanced at Liu Yiyi, who was a little pale, and asked, "Why did you come back so soon, looking at Yiyi's face, it seems that her body has not recovered yet." ”
"The emperor's ......" looked at Xia Yifeng without saying anything, Xiao Ziluo fell to his knees and said in a low voice after being silent for a moment, "This matter is caused by the negligence of his subordinates, please condemn the emperor!" ”
"Yifeng." Different from Xiao Ziluo's reflection, after regaining her original sanity, Liu Yiyi has always been angry about the fact that she was put on the spot by Murong Zixuan. "I'm going to Cangming Country."
"What are you doing in Cangming Country?" Looking at Liu Yiyi with twinkling eyes, Xia Yifeng clasped his hands on his chest and sat there lazily.
Noticing the anger in Liu Yiyi's eyes, Xia Yifeng suddenly sneered and continued: "Do you think that with your own strength, you can do anything to go to Cangming Country?" Or do you think that you are really Yin Bingchen's opponent? ”
Xia Yifeng rarely has a cold face to the people around him, especially henchmen like Liu Yiyi and Xiao Ziluo. So when Xia Yifeng sneered and said that obvious sarcasm, Liu Yiyi and Xiao Ziluo couldn't help but be stunned.
After following Xia Yifeng for so many years, they had never seen Xia Yifeng say such things to them in such a tone. Even if the mission failed that year, Liu Yiyi and the others had never seen Xia Yifeng show such a mocking and bantering expression.
Lowering her head without saying a word, Liu Yiyi knew in her heart that even if Xia Yifeng didn't say it, in her heart, she must be complaining about her mistakes this time.
Closing her eyes in annoyance, Liu Yiyi didn't say anything more. And Xia Yifeng, who had been observing the two of them, was not ready to talk to them anymore.
"You guys go back first, Yiyi's body needs to be recuperated. I'll find time to look for you in the next few days. The expulsion order was issued softly, Xia Yifeng watched the two leave with an indifferent expression, and then closed the book in front of him that had just been opened.
Murong Zixuan......
The figure of Murong Zixuan appeared in his mind, and Xia Yifeng recalled this man who gave him a sense of crisis for the first time, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Murong Zixuan, is he really dead?
That day in Yun'an City, Xia Yifeng really set a trap and wanted to put Murong Zixuan to death. However, because of the fact that the ** team rushed over later, until now, Xia Yifeng has not seen Murong Zixuan's corpse with his own eyes.
Is the blood flowing out of the carriage really Murong Zixuan's? Was it really Murong Zixuan himself who fell in that carriage?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Xia Yifeng became, and slowly clenched his fists. To live to see people, to die to see corpses. If Murong Zixuan really didn't die, then now all these things can be explained?
Mu Yan guessed correctly, the plague that broke out around the capital must have something to do with Murong Zixuan. Murong Zixuan took advantage of the way to Yun'an City and made moves in several villages along the way.
From time to time, it came to mind that after Mu Moxi woke up that day, she cried and said that she had taken her away. Xia Yifeng licked the corners of his mouth, trying to guess Murong Zixuan's trick little by little.
The internal force true qi in Xi'er's body should have been injected by Murong Zixuan. Xi'er would have that reaction to herself, and it should also be the result of Murong Zixuan's Zhu Youshu.
If Murong Zixuan hadn't died, then he should be in Cangming Country now. If Murong Zixuan's purpose has always been Mu Yan, then it can be explained that Murong Zixuan wants to take advantage of Xi'er's illness, and then force Mu Yan to go to Cangming Country in person to meet him......
Standing up suddenly, Xia Yifeng looked straight ahead with sharp eyes.
From the time Mu Yan brought Heng'er back that day, Xia Yifeng felt that something was wrong. If Murong Zixuan wanted to use the child as a hostage to blackmail himself, wouldn't it be more advantageous to leave both Heng'er and Xi'er behind? But Murong Zixuan only left one.
Why?
It's because one is already enough......!
The haze in his eyes gradually disappeared, and Xia Yifeng stood in place, a wicked smile raised at the corner of his mouth.
Ignoring the folds on the table, Xia Yifeng strode out of the study. Under Zhu Jinzhong's suspicious gaze, Xia Yifeng asked him to go back to rest first, and then walked back to the dormitory slowly.
Under the dim candlelight, Murong Zheng looked at the two little ghosts on the bed with a soft expression. Xia Yifeng walked into the room with light steps, waved his hand, and cleared out all the people in the room.
"You're back." Without looking back, Murong greeted Xia Yifeng behind him in a cold voice. "Looking for me?"
"Yes, there is something." Staring at Mu Yan with deep eyes, Xia Yifeng had no intention of provoking Mu Yan's emotions in the middle of the night. To make a long story short, He Mu Yan expressed his attitude, Xia Yifeng sat on the chair next to him, and said: "Tomorrow, you clean up first, and I will take you and Ruowu to the disaster area in the afternoon." I want to get rid of the plague as soon as possible. ”
"And then?" Listening to Xia Yifeng's words, Mu Yan was silent for a while, then turned around, looked at Xia Yifeng, who was already tired and closed his eyes, and asked, "What are you going to do after solving the problem?" ”
"Go to Cangming Country." The voice became smaller and smaller, and Xia Yifeng was almost reflexively answering Mu Yan's question. "I'll personally go and get the Ice Red Snow Lotus back."
Xia Yifeng's ambiguous answer made Mu Yan frown. How to take the Ice Red Snow Lotus back?
Standing up, Mu Yan walked in front of Xia Yifeng. Looking condescendingly at Xia Yifeng, whose breathing gradually stabilized, Mu Yan asked tentatively, "Do you want to exchange things?" Or are you going to sneak over and steal? ”
"I'm going to rob. Grab it openly. Unexpectedly, he raised his hand and dragged Mu Yan into his arms. Xia Yifeng greedily smelled the unique fragrance on Mu Yan's body, and his sleepiness couldn't help but become stronger.
Rob?!
Xia Yifeng's words made Mu Yan's eyes widen instantly, looking at Xia Yifeng in surprise, Mu Yan just wanted to ask again, is he crazy? But he was stopped by Xia Yifeng's face as if he had fallen asleep.
Biting his lower lip slightly, Mu Yan was alone in his heart thinking about Xia Yifeng's plan. Breaking free from Xia Yifeng's arms, Mu Yan was completely immersed in his thoughts.
Xia Yifeng curled up on the chair, and soon fell asleep. And Mu Yan, who saw him so tired, didn't plan to call him up again.
Walking out of the door, Mu Yan stood alone in front of the door, looking at the stars in the sky. The quiet night made Mu Yan's mind a little clearer, and the cool breeze that slowly blew swept away the heat on Mu Yan's body. Tightening the silk coat on his body, Mu Yan began to explore the meaning of Xia Yifeng's words just now.
A light and thin footstep slowly entered Mu Yan's sensitive ears. Looking up vigilantly, Mu Yan knew that in the middle of the night, ordinary people would never dare to come to this kind of place. After all, the position she is in now is the palace of the emperor of the dignified Yixuan Kingdom!
[I was so tired today, I had a meeting in the afternoon for 3 hours...... One more 3000 words, so be it today. I will work overtime tomorrow and rest the day after tomorrow, and there will be additional changes. 】
