Although it is the back kitchen, but in this place that belongs to Mufu, there are no loopholes at all, and the defense is still very tight, and the three of Gu Chen have seen no less than ten sentry posts alone.

Mu Lingling walked in the front and took the lead in opening the door of the back kitchen.

It was already night, and there were no guests to entertain in the house, so the room was empty.

Mu Lingling took two steps and came directly to a beautifully carved wooden box, the wooden box was opened, and the fragrance of osmanthus was emanated, and it was a box of osmanthus powder.

Mu Ling Lingdao: "That's where I got the osmanthus pollen. ”

Gu Chen stepped forward, he picked up some powder and looked at Mu Zhengtian, "That's right, this is it, I'll look at other places." ”

As he spoke, Gu Chen checked them in turn, and finally, after checking all the ingredients in the kitchen, he said, "There is nothing wrong with everything else, only this osmanthus powder." ”

Mu Zhengtian couldn't help but stroke his beard and said, "It seems that this is poisoned by the people around him." ”

Gu Chen understood what Mu Zhengtian meant, all the ingredients were fine, but the osmanthus powder had an accident, obviously, the person who poisoned knew that Mu Lingling wanted to make osmanthus cake, but Mu Lingling wanted to make osmanthus cake, it was a temporary idea, and he knew that he was coming, so he had to do it.

Gu Chen glanced at Mu Lingling and said, "Lingling, if you want to do the matter of osmanthus cake, there must not be many people who know about it, right?"

Mu Lingling hesitated for a while, "I only told Granny Su, and even my sister didn't tell me, but Granny Su ......." ”

Gu Chen soothed, "Don't worry, maybe Granny Su told someone else, we just went to ask her." ”

Hearing this, Mu Lingling nodded, and finally took Gu Chen and Mu Zhengtian to find Granny Su.

Granny Su, her status in the Mu family is obviously not low, she has her own independent courtyard, Mu Lingling knocked on the door a few times outside the courtyard, but after no response, Gu Chen stopped her.

"I smell blood. ”

Mu Lingling was startled, she was about to forcibly break open the door, but was pulled by Gu Chen again; ”

Gu Chen stepped forward, slapped the door with a palm, forcibly broke the door open, and then broke in with Mu Zhengtian.

In the room, when Gu Chen and Mu Zhengtian saw Granny Su who fell to the ground, they couldn't help but sink their faces.

Dead, suicide, the sword wound on her neck is the same as the sword in her hand.

At this time, Mu Zhengtian spoke, "I didn't expect it to appear." ”

In fact, from just now, Gu Chen noticed that Mu Zhengtian seemed to know something, and he didn't speak, but now when he heard him say this, he was even more sure of the thoughts in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Master Mu, what did you say, what did you mean by that?"

Mu Zhengtian shook his head, "I'll tell you later, let's dispose of Granny Su's body first." ”

After saying this, Mu Zhengtian turned around and left the room, and after a while, two dragon and tiger guards came to deal with Granny Su's body, and after Gu Chen checked and found nothing else, he left.

......

It is still the stone pavilion of the island in the middle of the lake, and there are still only two people, Gu Chen and Mu Zhengtian, at this time, Mu Zhengtian said, "Gu Chen, do you know the main purpose of my calling you here?"

Gu Chen only thought it was related to Mu Lingling at first, but after this incident, he understood that Mu Zhengtian called him here, and maybe it had nothing to do with Mu Lingling at all.

Mu Zhengtian continued, "You must remember the wedding between Chun'er and Wu Ci back then, right?"

Gu Chen thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but squint his eyes; "My lord, do you mean that the person back then has appeared again?"

Wu Ci and Mu Chun'er's wedding, Gu Chen naturally remembered, but what he remembered most was not the lively scene of the wedding of the two, but the mysterious Xuanyin Sect guy, who could turn a good person into a puppet for his own drive.

Mu Zhengtian nodded, "Granny Su grew up watching Lingling, and she treats her like her own daughter, no matter what, it is impossible to poison her, there is only one possibility, she is the same as those people back then, she is controlled." ”

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said busily, "My lord, has such a thing happened before?" ”

Mu Zhengtian didn't shy away from it, and nodded; "That's right, it's because of such a thing that I came back from the barracks." ”

"What do you mean by calling me?"

"I know you have a grudge against the Xuanyin Sect. Mu Zhengtian said directly, "After the events of the year, the Xuanyin Sect rarely showed up again, and now they are openly provocative, I think, I can't bear it, although you are entangled with the Fang family, but I hope that you can abandon the Fang family's affairs first, and help me deal with the Xuanyin Sect first, after all, my subordinates really can't get a man like you now, and I, I may not be able to leave Zhige City for a while now." ”

It's exactly what Gu Chen's plan is!

Gu Chen was planning to persecute the Fang family from the Xuanyin Sect, but unexpectedly, Mu Zhengtian took the initiative to find him, without thinking about it, Gu Chen said, "There is no problem with this, it's just that since I want to deal with the Xuanyin Sect, I definitely need clues, but ......." ”

Gu Chen still remembered that the clues of the Xuanyin Sect were the secrets of the Tiger Head Battalion, and only the commander could check them, and now that Mu Zhengtian was going to stay in Zhige City, he was worried that Fang Qitian was in the military camp and would not give him a chance to check it at all.

Mu Zhengtian waved his hand, "I know what you're worried about, but the cunning rabbit still has three holes, how can I not prepare?"

As he spoke, Mu Zhengtian took out a Qiankun ring and said, "This contains all the clues about the Xuanyin Sect, the latest clues, I am also asking Wu Ci to collect them in secret, I hope your movement this time can be a little bigger, so big that the people of the Xuanyin Sect can't take care of Zhige City!"

Looking at the murderous intent that faintly appeared in Mu Zhengtian's eyes when he said this, Gu Chen knew that he really had a murderous intent this time, and immediately said, "Master Mu, don't worry, if you make a little movement, I Gu Chen thinks it's a little difficult, if you make things bigger, hey." A touch of coldness appeared at the corner of Gu Chen's mouth.

Mu Zhengtian nodded, "Remember, you have to pay attention to your own safety, I don't want her to end up breaking up with me as a father and daughter." ”

Gu Chen smiled dryly, "Don't worry, my lord, I won't have an accident, since that's the case, then I'll ......." ”

Gu Chen was just about to say goodbye, but Mu Zhengtian interrupted, "Slow down." Don't leave tonight, let's accompany Lingling, I guess she will be very sad tonight. ”

After saying this, Mu Zhengtian drifted away, and Gu Chen shook his shoulders very innocently, and he was really relieved to let his daughter be with a big man at night.

However, thinking about Ling Ling, who had just lost a mother-like relative today, Gu Chen finally left the stone pavilion.

......

Picking the star tower, the silver moonlight poured on the pavilion, and Mu Lingling lay quietly on the railing alone, silently looking at the full moon in the sky.

Gu Chen crawled beside Mu Lingling, looked at the full moon in the sky and said, "I must be very uncomfortable in my heart, right?"

Mu Lingling shook his head, "Not really, but it just feels a little empty all of a sudden." ”

Gu Chen patted Mu Lingling on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find the person who killed Granny Su." ”

"What if you find it? Granny Su will never wake up again. ”

"At least it can comfort her soul in heaven. ”

"In the spirit of heaven. Mu Lingling muttered, and suddenly said, "Gu Chen, do you say that after a person dies, will he really go to heaven?"

"This ....... Looking at Mu Lingling's expectant eyes, Gu Chen nodded, "Good people will." ”

"Really?" Mu Lingling pouted, "However, my father said that my mother is not a good woman, but my mother is also in heaven. ”

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Mu Lingling meant.

Mu Lingling continued, "When I was a child, I asked my mother where she was, and my father always told me that my mother was watching me from the sky, but then he got drunk and said that my mother was not a good woman, she didn't care about our family, she didn't care about me and my sister, she was a bad woman. ”

Gu Chen suddenly remembered that he had never seen Mu Lingling's mother.

He asked, "Lingling, have you never seen your mother?"

Mu Lingling shook his head, "Dad has a lot of theories, saying that she is dead, that she was killed by the Xuanyin Sect, but I feel that he is actually lying to me. ”

"Lie to you?"

"Yes. Mu Lingling suddenly laughed, "He didn't know, he was drunk that time, and said that his mother left us, didn't they all say that he spit the truth after drinking, so I guessed that in fact, my mother didn't die, but just left here ......." ”

"Aren't you sad about this?"

Mu Lingling shook his head, "I was sad when I was young, but now it doesn't matter, after all, I have seen a lot of life and death, and I have become accustomed to it, people will always die, but sooner or later, maybe, she has died outside, so I have always treated her as dead." ”

Gu Chen pursed his lips speechlessly.

Mu Lingling continued, "Gu Chen, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want in the future?"

Want to live?

Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, because he had never thought about what would happen to him in the future, his life was full of uncertainty, he didn't know when he would die, just like he didn't know when Huo Feng would wake up.

"Didn't you ever think about it?"

Never thought about it?

Gu Chen shook his head, "Not really, but, it was a long time ago, I was still the eldest young master of the Gu family, at that time I once thought about becoming a successful businessman like my father, and then marrying a virtuous woman like my mother, forming a family, and being happy, but ...... Scold. ”

Looking at Gu Chen's wry smile, Mu Lingling patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, it's not impossible, at least I know a very virtuous girl." ”

Gu Chen glanced at Mu Lingling, "What's the matter?"

"you!I'm already virtuous!!"

"It's really fake, virtuous and spicy don't mean the same thing. ”

"Ahh

"Haha....... ”
