Chapter 65: Qizhou Blood Beads (6)
Seeing that he seemed to calm down, Mu Hongjia patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know why my father chose you?" ”
This incident actually made Mu Chengye have doubts, in all fairness, if he was the fox king, he would definitely choose Mu Mingyuan without hesitation. Whether it is age, knowledge, or spells, he is much stronger than himself.
Mu Hongjia saw his doubts, and said earnestly: "Actually, my father also wanted to set the second brother, but the second brother recommended you and promised to assist you well. ”
Originally, the Fox King didn't care, until something happened later that made him decide to start cultivating Mu Chengye.
Ten years ago, he had just cultivated to human form, and was criticized by the master of the fox clan because his archery skills were not up to par. He didn't give up, but secretly made up his mind to shoot arrows over and over again on the school field.
He didn't eat that day, practicing from dusk until the crescent moon hung in the air. The entire school field was darkened, and it was almost impossible to see where the bullseye was.
He used the talisman to conjure up a few puppets next to the target, remembering what he had learned during the day, and continuing to repeat.
He didn't know that the fox king was standing on the other side of the school field, looking at everything in his eyes. He felt sorry for his youngest son for working so hard, and thought about it to ask Huarong to persuade him.
This archery can't be practiced in a day, and it's never too late to practice it tomorrow.
Hua Rong came with the order and pressed Mu Chengye's arm, who was about to take the bow again. I never thought that because of the long hours of archery, his arm was sore, and he could barely control it. was pressed like this, his arm trembled, and the arrow in his hand actually shot out in the direction of Huarong like this.
The distance between the two people was very close, Mu Chengye couldn't think about it, and directly grabbed the arrow with his hand, but his hand was scratched and kept bleeding!
Hurting the son can be described as a big crime, Hua Rong immediately knelt on the ground, and said anxiously: "The subordinates should die, please punish the fifth son!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Mu Chengye said this, casually tore off a wrapped palm from his clothes, and said slowly, "I just said that I accidentally injured myself while practicing, you don't have to worry so much." ”
Hua Rong raised his head in a daze, just in time to meet Mu Chengye's smiling face. He seemed a little helpless, patted Hua Rong's shoulder and said, "Gongzi is also a fox, everyone is a family, where is there anything that should be damned and not to be killed." ”
All this was remembered by the fox king not far away, and the next day he announced that Mu Chengye would become his heir.
Speaking of this, Mu Hongjia approvingly: "As an emperor, you must not only be ruthless, but also kind." Otherwise, when he becomes emperor, it will be when his other brothers will suffer. And this approach of yours happens to be appreciated by the father, so he will choose you. ”
Mu Chengye almost forgot about these, and he used to be generous and kind, but he became suspicious and ruthless under the tempering of royal life.
Thinking of the past, it is easy to be sentimental, Mu Hongjia sighed, gently pressed Mu Chengye's shoulder and said: "Now that only the four of us know about these things, you go out and act as if nothing happened, okay?" ”
"My brother doesn't understand, why did my brother come out with him?" Mu Chengye still has doubts about this.
Mu Hongjia said honestly: "Big brother has always been weak by nature, if you find out that it is your own brother who did it to you, you will enter a dilemma, which will easily put everyone in danger." The second brother is not at ease, so he will look at me and let me protect you. ”
The truth was revealed, and it turned out that he had been going in the wrong direction.
Mu Chengye looked ashamed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "My brother is wrong, please forgive my brother!" ”
"Cheng Ye, it's okay if you know how good your brother is." Mu Hongjia said this and helped him up from the ground. The two looked at each other and smiled, finally releasing their suspicions.
Xie Qian was happy to see their two brothers reconciled.
The two of them seemed to think of something, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Xie Qian.
She was startled, then raised her hand in understanding, and said very seriously: "I will definitely not tell anyone about today's incident!" I swear! ”
"Why don't you erase your memory?" Mu Chengye looked at Hua Rong, his face full of sorrow.
Xie Qian's face was pale, he hugged himself with both hands, and said in horror: "I can forget myself, don't do this!" ”
Probably thinking that she was very funny like this, Mu Chengye tilted his head and continued to watch her perform. She leaned against the wall and said nonsense: "Actually, we butterflies have a very short memory, and we can't remember what you said at all." Sometimes, I can't even remember people's names correctly. ”
"Then the ...... you saw in the room tonight" Mu Chengye deliberately dragged out his voice.
Xie Qian immediately raised his hands and swore an oath: "I absolutely forget, I can't remember at all!" ”
Satisfied with her performance, Mu Chengye hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Okay, then you can go back." ”
Xie Qian was pardoned, and quickly retreated to the gate as if her butt was on fire. At this time, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and said seriously: "I forgot to tell you that I actually support you and Huarong very much, so don't be angry." I don't have any feelings for Hua Rong, and I won't rob him with you. After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, he ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
Hearing that Xie Qian personally said that he didn't like him, Hua Rong seemed to be relieved. But Mu Chengye's face beside him was extremely ugly, and he always felt that something was wrong with what she said.
Mu Hongjia smiled helplessly: "Cheng Ye, what's the matter with you, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be interested in Miss Xie, why is it involved in Huarong again?" ”
"I think Miss Xie must have misunderstood my relationship with the fifth son." Hua Rong explained expressionlessly, "Fang Cai's sentence also explains this. ”
Mu Chengye finally pondered it, and his face became even more ugly.
Although I told myself not to be like her, I couldn't calm down after taking a few deep breaths. He clenched his fists, and rushed to Xie Qian's room with a brisk stride.
There was only one thought in his mind now, and that was to tie up Xie Qian and throw him downstairs.
Hua Rong and Mu Hongjia hurriedly went to intercept it, and accidentally knocked open the door of Xie Qian's room between pulling. Several people looked over in embarrassment, but found that the room was empty and there was no trace of Xie Qian.
Mu Chengye immediately ran into the house, checked every corner of the room, and finally found only the blood beads she had obtained from the Taoist priest on the bed.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart, and he immediately rushed to the window to look down, and there was no figure in the silent street.
Hua Rong said with a cold face: "Fifth son, I'll go outside to check it out, you and the fourth prince can wait here." ”
Now only in this way, Mu Chengye could only wave his hand and continue to bow his head to look for clues in the house.
Mu Hongjia held his chin and thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly focused on the blood beads in his hand. He took it over and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "Cheng Ye, you see that the evil spirit in here has actually turned into a butterfly. ”
Hearing him say this, Mu Chengye looked at the blood beads carefully, and sure enough, he saw a small pink butterfly dancing in it.
