Chapter 64: A Clue
The night, boundless, swallowed up a qiē.
In the dark space, a black shadow with the domineering spirit of a king sat on a high place and looked down on several dark guards below, and a majesty rose up.
"What's going on, are those people really distant relatives of the housekeeper of King Ling's Mansion?" For the few strangers who suddenly appeared in Ling Wang's Mansion, it was natural to pay attention to it.
"The housekeeper of King Ling's Mansion does have a distant nephew, who was missing as early as more than ten years ago due to a sudden change in his family, so it is indeed possible that he came to look for relatives."
"In other words, you don't have any definite news?"
Hearing this, the dark guard knelt on the ground, "My subordinates are not doing things well. ”
"Continue to monitor their every move, and if there is anything abnormal, there will be no mercy." At this time, he couldn't let go of anyone who might be related to Murong Lingche who came out.
"Also, continue to pay attention to any movements of the prime minister, and report to me at any time."
"Yes." After receiving the order, several people left quickly, and only Murong Jinglan was left in the air.
In the dark night sky, his black eyes were circulating, and no one could see his true expression at the moment.
These secret guards are all dead soldiers he has secretly cultivated, and they are the only ones who can make him truly believe.
For the prime minister, his own uncle, he was wary, and some of the evidence in his hand showed that Yan Su was also coveting his throne. And usually he has to have great respect for Yan Su, and he has to rely on him to come up with ideas, just to make him think that he is a useless straw bale emperor, first use his hand to get rid of Murong Lingche and his forces, and then eradicate him.
No matter what, he will not let go of anyone who threatens his country, and the royal family has no family affection.
Under the noses of those people who Murong Jinglan planted in King Ling's Mansion, Mu Zhiyu and the Xuan brothers and sisters had already slipped away, and the three people who were now in King Ling's Mansion were just stand-ins after disguise.
The carriage was driving unhurriedly to Luo Xiguo, Xuan Ruojian was driving outside, and Mu Zhiyu and Xuan Ruojue were chatting hotly in the carriage.
"Sister Yu, I haven't been able to have a good chat with you these days, and now I finally have a chance." Xuan Ruojue said while eating the snacks he brought from the Seven Fragrance Pavilion.
Looking at her holding the pastry in her left hand and the juice in her right hand, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Jue'er, looking at your appearance, I don't know that I thought you had been hungry for several days." ”
kept stuffing it into his mouth, and squeezed out a little space to speak, "I've never eaten such a delicious thing, and I've never drunk such a delicious drink, hehe, Sister Yu, don't make fun of me." ”
Mu Zhiyu shook her head and smiled, took out Sijuan and wiped the corners of her mouth for her, "Jue'er, I heard you say before, you seem to be very tired of the people of the Mu family?" ”
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the thing also paused, raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled embarrassedly, "Sister Yu, I didn't know that you were also from the Mu family, so..."
"I didn't mean that, I actually hate that family too, I just want to know how much you know about my eldest brother."
Wan Er smiled and tapped the tip of her nose with her finger, "Silly girl, do you think I will blame you?" ”
His brows soothed, put aside what he was eating, leaned against the window, and said slowly, "Sister Yu, I understand what you mean, I have been in contact with Mu Yaru's brothers and sisters, as for Brother Mu, I just heard my eldest brother mention it..."
Mu Zhiyu didn't say anything, just quietly listened to Xuan Ruojue talk there.
"Sister Yu, do you know? When I hadn't seen you before, I was very curious about you, because I didn't believe that you would be what was rumored, because the eldest brother told me that Mu Zefeng, the son of the Mu family, was a righteous gentleman, and his favorite sister would never be bad.
And Mu Yaru is just a concubine, when the official ladies of the imperial capital meet, she always calls herself a concubine, pretending to be a lady, and always slanders you intentionally or unintentionally, and this kind of person I hate the most.
and her brother Mu Qinglin, who is close to the prince, always has no one in his eyes, and now that the prince is on the throne, he is a gentleman who does not need to pass the official assessment to directly enter the court as an official, Mu Yaru is now the imperial concubine, and she must not take others seriously. I can't understand why good people are not rewarded, and the scourge will be left for thousands of years. ”
Xuan Ruojue said a lot in one breath, and suddenly felt dry mouth, picked up the juice next to him and drank it all, "Such a delicious thing, I would have brought more if I knew it." ”
"If you like to drink, why don't you move to our Purple Feather Country in the future?" With one hand on his chin, he tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, but there was no joke.
"But I'm from Luoxi."
"I'm also from Luoxi."
His eyes widened, and he looked at her and exclaimed, "Sister Yu, you don't want to introduce me to relatives, I haven't thought about this kind of thing yet!" ”
This little girl, who is quite active in her mind, has thought about this.
Half-squinted, he said with a smile, "You think like this, can I think that you are spring-hearted?" ”
"Sister Yu, you've been teasing me for a long time." He pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"Uh... Actually, I didn't mean to do this, but you misunderstood. With a smile, she took the juice in her hand, poured it into the cup, and took a sip, "Jue'er, you will understand what I mean in the future." ”
As he spoke, through the corner of the curtain, he could see the slender voice outside paused, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, took another sip, and then gently put it aside.
"Jue'er, you just said a lot, how much do you know about my eldest brother five years ago?"
Although Mu Zefeng dotes on her very much, and goes to Yuxiangyuan to visit her every day, but the deity of this body is indeed timid and cowardly, almost not out of the door, and the second door is not stepping, except for the eldest brother to talk when he comes to see her, usually she really doesn't know what happened outside, and naturally she doesn't know why the eldest brother disappeared, and who she saw before the disappearance, and these, no one sued her, they sued her that she took the eldest brother away.
Of course Mu Zhiyu didn't believe these statements, since there was no news of her death, she just said that she was missing, there must be an inside story behind it, and her so-called father, who kept saying that he loved her mother, also loved her eldest son very much, and how many times have you looked for her eldest brother for so many years?
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, a sarcastic smile, family affection, what is it in the face of power, he has long lost hope, hasn't he? In addition to the eldest brother, the Mu family is no different from a stranger for her, no, there is hatred.
"Actually, I just heard the eldest brother mention that five years ago, before Brother Mu disappeared, the eldest brother had seen him, because my father and Prime Minister Mu Cheng had always been at odds in the court, and the relationship between the two families was not very good, although their friendship at that time was not very deep, but it was not as hostile as Mu Qinglin.
When the eldest brother was twelve years old, he worshiped the palace master of Jingyang Palace in Jingge Country as a teacher, five years ago he went down the mountain to visit relatives, and had seen Brother Mu outside the capital of Luoxi Emperor, according to the eldest brother, Brother Mu seemed to have something urgent at that time, so he just chatted a few words in a hurry, but he didn't expect the news of Brother Mu's disappearance came out later.
As for the relationship between the two of us, even if he told Prime Minister Mu about this matter, he might not believe it, maybe he would say that it was the eldest brother who harmed him, and the eldest brother had gone to the woods outside the city to investigate, but he didn't find any clues, but the eldest brother always felt that things were not so simple, and something must have happened in that forest. ”
Mu Zhiyu couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and fell into a state of thinking for a long time.
Why did the eldest brother hurry to the woods outside the city, and who would have told him to go?
If that's where Big Brother disappeared, what happened before that?
She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her chest, if she firmly believed that her eldest brother was still alive before, then now, why was she a little scared?
There was a moment of blankness in her head, and then she pursed her lips tightly, no matter what, she didn't believe that something would happen to her eldest brother, but why hadn't there been any news for so many years, if something really happened to her eldest brother, then why hadn't any clues been found there, even a corpse?
Before she knew it, she straightened up, her face was a little pale, and she was silent and silent.
Xuan Ruojue could see from her face that she was cold, frightened and sluggish, which frightened her a little, and just when she didn't know how to comfort her, the carriage stopped, the curtain was opened, and Xuan Ruojian's head came in from the outside.
"Miss Mu, no news is the best news, and if the body is not found, it means that he is still alive, doesn't it?"
Hearing this, there were waves in his eyes, he was right, no news is the best news, maybe the eldest brother went out to investigate some things, so thinking about it, it will not be as uncomfortable as just now.
Raising his eyes to look at Xuan Ruojian, he squeezed out a slight smile, "Brother Xuan, thank you." ”
"I think you and I have the same idea, maybe this matter has something to do with your second mother or second brother, this time when you go back, you can live in the house with peace of mind, and we will help you."
"Thank you, it's just that this time, I want to go back to Mu's house openly and find out the truth of the year in person." There was a glint in his eyes, even fierce.
"Do you want to be Mu Zhiyu? They couldn't tolerate you before, and now they won't change because of your identity as Princess Ling. ”
When Mu Zhiyu heard this, he bent his fingers and tapped his knee, "If the eldest brother goes back, what kind of expression will each of them have?" ”
Xuan Ruochen was stunned for a moment, and then showed an appreciative smile, "In this way, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, some people will be unable to hold their breath and show their feet." ”
Outside, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, Xuan Ruoji's figure flashed to the side, and he looked up from afar, one white and one purple, two figures, coming from the direction of the Luoxi Imperial Capital.
