Chapter 9 All the Way South

Shang Jin shook his head in annoyance, thinking: Damn, Shang Jin, Shang Jin, this is a child, not Mu Ningjiu, what are you afraid of being nervous about? And even if it's Mu Ningjiu, it's not so terrifying, right? But his intuition told him that a woman who could kill a big man in the blink of an eye was absolutely terrifying!

Luckily, the person in front of him wasn'tβ€”he thought so anyway. He took her hand: soft to the touch, with distinct joints...... Why is it not the hand of an eight-year-old child!!

Just as he was engaged in this strange psychological battle, Xiao Mu shook his hand and said, "Brother, what's wrong?" Don't you go? He suddenly woke up, and his heart was weak, and he took her hand in a panic and walked to the stable.

-------------------------------------

On the Bian Cheng Stargazing Platform.

"Wow! It's so beautifulβ€”" Xiao Mu stood by the railing, his bright eyes reflecting a little starlight. Shang Jin frowned slightly, leaned against the railing with his chest crossed, thinking about something.

"Xiao Mu, tell my brother, how can you and your sister ......"

"How can it be in a body? Well...... I don't want my sister to get hurt, so it's a secret. ”

"And you, when will you show up again?"

"I'll be out tomorrow night."

"What about your parents?"

"I don't know."

Shang Jin accompanied Xiao Mu back to the room, helped her tuck the quilt corners, and said with a smile: "Xiao Mu, sleep well, and my brother will come to play with you again tomorrow night." ”

"Well, thank you, brother, good night." Xiao Mu obediently got into the quilt, revealing only one head.

"Little Mu is good." Shang Jin touched her head.

It turns out that she also has secrets that no one knows...... Hmph, I've grabbed the handle now, look at how arrogant she is! The gentle smile on Shang Jin's face disappeared, a trace of cunning flashed in his bright eyes, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. waved his robe and quietly disappeared into the night.

Luo Cheng, inside Yangyun Pavilion.

"Brother Yun, what are the best treasures at the auction in Jade Pavilion tomorrow?"

"My father had instructed me not to leak the news to anyone. Well, of course you're different. I heard that among the items in this auction, the rarest is the black black wood from the extremely cold land. God knows this, you know and I know, don't tell anyone, huh? ”

"Well, don't worry, don't you know who my brother is. You mean...... Black Genki? What's that? What's the use? ”

"Alas, it's lonely. According to ancient records: 'Black Xuanmu is cold, and neutralizing with blood can relax the muscles and rejuvenate the veins, prolong life, and increase martial arts cultivation. The main thing is that it is born with an aura that allows the wearer to be invisible when needed. However, it is only the time of a stick of incense. ”

"I said, Brother Yun, you can be content. A stick of incense is completely enough to steal a big mansion for those thieves. Such a good baby, how good it is to keep it for yourself, isn't it stupid that your father still wants to take it out and sell it? ”

"Well, you don't know. Isn't this kind of thing a hot potato in your own hands? At any time, if you are afraid that the treasure will be stolen, it is better to be open and honest and let the forces on the rivers and lakes rob it by themselves. Not only can you add a sense of purity to yourself, but you can also earn a lot of money. ”

"That makes sense......"

In the private room next door, there was a man in white with a silver mask. Behind him, a tall, burly man stood.

"Childe, the news you asked me to check has been settled."

"Say."

"According to reliable sources, no one has ever entered the ice city. In addition to collecting the corresponding keys, two conditions must be met to enter. But the subordinates have not been able to find out which two ......"

"Well, it's okay, it's important to find the key first. By the way, how's Che's condition? ”

"Che Gongzi he...... is still in a coma, and I always have nightmares these days, and I have lost a lot of weight. Gu Ying saw that his master pursed his lips and was silent, and hurriedly persuaded: "Childe, don't worry too much. When he entered the ice city and took the cold silk grass, his poison could be cured. ”

"yes, I know."

-------------------------------------

Inside the Shang Jin Courtyard.

"Childe, Miss Mu asks to see you." In a daze, Shang Jin seemed to hear someone calling him, and his eyes tried his best to open a slit: a delicate-looking girl. But...... How come you've never seen it? He lazily stood up, and finally heard what Bai Ling was saying. Miss Mu...... Well? Mu Ningjiu! Hmph, how dare she come? A few days ago, because she was not doing well, she was tossed by her last night and didn't sleep all night, and finally fell asleep at dawn, why didn't it take long for her to appear again? Oh no, it's not "again", the one from last night was Xiao Mu.

After a stick of incense, in the study.

Mu Ningjiu was wearing a purple cloud butterfly tassel long skirt, outlining a concave and convex curve. The unadorned black hair is casually draped down, lining the skin translucent and snow-white. The brown eyes were clear and focused, and the occasional flash of banter, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth made Shang Jin have to admit: Really, this look is too different from Xiao Mu.

"Mr. Shang, forgive me for coming to visit early, I really have something important to discuss. Don't disturb your old man's beauty sleep. ”

Her voice has a hint of natural laziness.

"How can I be? Miss Mu came here this time, what are you doing? Shang Jin was disturbed to sleep, and the yin and yang were weird.

"Don't talk nonsense. I plan to go to Ice City with you to find Mrs. Mu with Master Shang, I don't know what you think? ”

"What do you want to do when you find my mother?" Shang Jin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm also entrusted by someone, so it's inconvenient to disclose. But I dare to swear that there is no ill will towards Mrs. Mu. "The words are righteous, and people can't refuse. Who is Ke Shang Jin? likes to stumble on people the most, especially people like Mu Ningjiu who have made him suffer.

He pretended to think for a moment and said, "Oh, that's it. Then I'...... Refuse. Mu Ningjiu had long expected that Shang Jin was not so easy to speak, and he was not angry, so he immediately put an incomparably bright smile on his face and approached him.

Shang Jin grew wise, knowing that she must be playing some bad idea again, forcing him to comply. So he jumped two feet away from her with a "whoosh", and replied with an evil smile, saying, "Little fox, you are still too naΓ―ve, do you think I will be fooled a second time?" Use any tricks, this son is not afraid of you. ”

A flash of annoyance flashed in Mu Ningjiu's eyes, but he pretended to blink innocently and said, "Where do you want to go, Master Shang." I'm just trying to give you a map of the exact location of Ice City. Alas, since this is the case, the little woman will not bother you, and the little woman will retire first. He turned around in a dashing manner, and stepped out of the threshold with one foot.

A treacherous smile on the corner of her mouth was like a pot of oil, igniting the anger in Shang Jin's heart: Damn! She definitely did it on purpose, what a treacherous little fox! But he could only grit his teeth and shout: "Wait a minute! Mu Ningjiu, you come back. Hand over the map and set off tomorrow. ”
