Mu Xi trotted all the way over and stopped in front of Shao Xuechen. The wind he brought with him blew towards Shao Xueji, and there was a faint fragrance of gardenias. It looked like he had just taken a shower, and his hair was still slightly damp, casually draped on the back of his head, and his clothes were wet.

"I'm not late, am I?" Mu Xi still had a wheezing sound when he spoke.

A few minutes ago he had been quietly soaking in warm water, his head resting on a piece of cork. The windows were open, and the wind blowing from outside blew the candlelight in the bathroom flickering, and his shadow was cast diagonally on the wall.

There were no stars in the sky, the moon was obscured by clouds, and the low-pressure clouds looked like it was about to rain. The insects don't chirp, the birds don't cry, the roommates are already asleep, and the sound of their gentle breathing can be heard from outside, so a quiet night can always make people think a lot for no reason.

He began to think about something, and suddenly it dawned on him that he didn't seem to have many friends. Since he was a child, he followed the footsteps of his brothers, followed in and out of his fart, his face was covered with yellow and blue snot, at that time his brothers were very good to him, often played with him, would wipe his nose, would feed him, would teach him to read, and even his mother did not have him and that group of brothers. But when he grew up, his brothers seemed to be different people, no one smiled at him anymore, and he was even extremely cold. Only then did he realize that he was born in the emperor's family. But why did the emperor's family become like relatives and enemies? He never wanted to fight for power with his brothers, he just wanted to go back to the way he was when he was a child. If that's the way he grows up, he'd rather be a snotty kid himself.

It seems that the emperor's family is very good, with fine clothes and fine food every day, and enjoys glory and wealth. But no one will understand the suffering of the emperor's family, and intrigue is staged every day, fighting openly and secretly. Maybe one day he will die inexplicably, and the person who killed him is one of his brothers, and the reason for killing him is extremely simple, he may block his way to the top of the chair.

He couldn't stand this kind of life, he chose to escape, and watched the glazed tiles of the palace disappear little by little from the carriage. He still vaguely remembered his father's hatred of iron and steel, but he didn't understand why he connived at his own children who were killing in private? Only the winning prince was the best, and only he was qualified to ascend to the throne? Did he kill alone? There were no brothers and sisters, and no one to be trusted. He couldn't do it, he couldn't imagine himself stepping on the blood of his brothers to put the crown on his head, yes, he coaxed!

The wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and there was already falling rain in the air, and the rain fell on his face with the wind, icy and cold. He experienced the feeling of loneliness, the same loneliness as Shao Xuejian, so lonely that he felt that the whole world was indifferent to him, as cold as ice, braving the cold.

Thinking of Shao Xuechen, that guy is also a good person, although he looks cold, and his tone of voice looks like he is about to draw a sword and cut people at every turn, but he is also a warm-hearted person who saved his life. Thinking of Shao Xuejian, Mu Xi suddenly seemed to realize something, and sat up from the water suddenly, will that guy with a brain that can't turn a corner find a partner to break out? If you think about it carefully, it's really possible, because that guy's brain can't turn around.

Well, for the sake of that guy who saved his life, I'll go with him. Mu Xi gritted his teeth, put on his clothes indiscriminately and pushed open the door and rushed out, the sound of the door hitting the wall woke up the roommates, and his temper almost roared directly, "What kind of nerves do you have in the middle of the night?

Mu Xi strode forward, the wind whistling in his ears. It was a long time before he understood why he was so excited, because he was lonely, Shao Xuechen was also lonely, both of them were lonely children, and both of them had the same sadness in their hearts.

"Nope. Shao Xuechen said, "It's just right." ”

Mu Xi scratched his head, and said in his heart, "That's just right?" Breaking into the school gate and injuring your classmates, seeing that you are holding your sword tightly, you are about to the director, right? Is this just right? Is it that if you are not allowed to leave the school gate today, can you tear down the school palace? His grandmother, brother Ren, don't you know what it means to judge the situation? Xiao Yan, that demon slaughter is something you can do? Although you are awesome, that demon slaughter is even more awesome than you.

"Director Xiao, this ......" Mu Xi rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly, patting his sycophants was a handy for him. After the brothers began to compete for the throne, they looked like enemies, and they couldn't wait to fight to the death on the spot, and blood was splashed, and he could only rely on all kinds of low-profile and various sycophants to survive, hoping that the other party would let him go because of his weakness.

"Look at you, mighty and domineering, your momentum is integrated with the mountains, like the mountains are boundless, vast and magnificent, as if you want to go straight to the sky. You are the mountain that supports the empire and the backbone that stretches for thousands of miles...... "Mu Xi patted his ass quite well, Xiao Yan was almost praised by him, and he almost didn't say that he was the reincarnation of Ziwei Xing, who had the breath of a true dragon, and the next emperor of the Longhua Empire was you.

Who is uncomfortable with being slapped on the back? If there is, then that person must be abnormal. Of course, the people who can be slapped on the back are people with ability or status, these people are all human spirits, and of course they understand that these words are all so-called nonsense, but they can't stand up to the good words, who doesn't like to listen to good words? When others pat you on the ass, can you still say that you can't? This is the same as reaching out and not hitting people with smiling faces.

"Okay, okay, if you shoot too much, it won't sound good. Xiao Yan didn't have anything on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart, and even planned to wait for the task to be completed, and pull this kid out of the office to pat himself every day, there are not too many good words. "This is not to blame. Go ahead. ”

Shao Xuechen turned around and walked out of the school gate, the light of the school palace could only illuminate a few steps in front of him, and it was as dark as ink outside.

Mu Xi was still polite, bowed, and then caught up with Shao Xuejian.

The surroundings were unusually dark and quiet, except for the sound of dead leaves being trampled and the cries of owls preying in the deep forest, which was oppressive. There seem to be ghosts hiding in the deep forest, and at this time, the companions who are traveling with them should speak loudly to scare the ghosts away, and it is best to scare them out. I heard that these ghosts are afraid of loud voices. But Shao Xuechen obviously didn't mean to speak, and kept his mouth shut and just hurried.

This depressing atmosphere makes Mu Xi feel very uncomfortable, he is afraid of the dark, he always feels that there is something terrible in the dark, he doesn't dare to walk alone at night, even if he walks alone, he looks forward and backward, or he will run wildly, and even when he is alone, he has to light a lamp when he sleeps, so that he can feel at ease.

The road that has been carved out spirals down from the halfway up the mountain, and in the darkness the road seems to be far away, and you can still see the lights of the school palace when you look back at the mountainside.

Mu Xi walked cautiously, and he began to regret it, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow. If he had proposed to Shao Xuechen that he wanted to go back now, Shao Xuechen would definitely not have stopped him, but wouldn't this make him look very cowardly? Although he admitted that he was very cowardly, otherwise he would not have run out of the palace alone, like a lost dog, he was kicked and ran away wailing, but he was also stubborn, and he just promised something, so he had to do it. But he couldn't let his hands get the blood of his brothers, and kill each other like animals that drink blood. He felt that he had no chance of the throne in his life, and that was so cruel.

"Maybe that's all for this life, stay here honestly, like me, I can't do anything big in my life. Mu Xi said in his heart.

"Hey, where are we going now?" Mu Xi finally broke the silence, his chatty nature didn't allow him to go silent for so long.

"Go to the city, the burned place must have been cordoned off. While it's hard to leave any clues to the fire-burned area, it's worth a visit. Shao Xuechen said that he seemed to know what Mu Xi was thinking, "It's about to rain, and after being washed away by the heavy rain, everything will disappear, and you can only rush overnight." ”

"Oh. Mu Xi said, "Then did you bring an umbrella? I didn't bring it, if you didn't bring it, then we will become a soup chicken." ”

"Brought it. Shao Xuechen said. He's always been like this, thinking about what needs to be prepared before doing anything, and then putting them in the storage ring, and what to do if the unexpected happens, he's like a machine with the ultimate precision, analyzing everything.

So far, he still has salt, water, and all kinds of condiments in his storage ring, and that was when he was in the back mountain, but he never took them out. Saying that it must be fake, who would have feelings for daily condiments? It's just that he thinks that those things still have room to come in handy. The umbrella is also inside, and there are torches, which are prepared for Mu Xi, Shao Xuechen has seen Mu Xi's fear of the dark, and ran across the playground in a panic.

"Then did you bring torches?" Mu Xi then asked, this was the question he wanted to ask the most, he was a little embarrassed when he said it, a dignified man, an eight-foot man is afraid of the dark, this should be a very shameful thing. He sneered, "I...... Afraid of the dark. ”

"I know you're afraid of the dark, so you brought torches. Shao Xuechen said.

"Aha?" Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, and his voice suddenly rose a little, "Then why didn't you say it earlier? Even if you know that I'm afraid of the dark, it's embarrassing for me to say it myself, right?"

"Why are you embarrassed?" said Shao Xuejian, "everyone has something to be afraid of, just like it is natural for girls to be afraid of bugs and mice, and they don't feel embarrassed." ”

In the dark, Mu Xi could imagine Shao Xuechen coldly saying these questions. Of course, people can have things to be afraid of, you said that you are afraid of demons and spirit animals, but how can you say that you are a man who is afraid of the dark? You are masculine in appearance, but you have a sensitive and delicate heart in your chest? Gender is wrong, right? He really wants to ask Shao Xuechen whether he really doesn't understand or fake, how can there be such a wooden person in the world? Do you have something you are afraid of, will you still say it unscrupulously, so that everyone knows, and it is a very encouraging or honorable thing to behave? Also, those girls in the school palace can each torture the tiger with one hand, and they will be afraid of insects? They just deliberately act like a delicate appearance, who doesn't like a bird? Do you like a person with a hot body and a good face, but turns his head and says to you, "Brother, where are we going to kill the tiger today?" It was an indescribably strange scene.

"Okay, okay...... Bring me the torch first. Mu Xi was a little anxious, "I'm a big man who is afraid of the dark, do you think I'm embarrassed?"

The fire lit up in an instant, and the whole world seemed to be much better. Mu Xi jumped up and down with a torch and followed Shao Xuechen, like a child who had been entangled with adults for a long time and finally got what he wanted, and couldn't put it down. He completely lost the cautious look he had before, he was always so heartless, as long as the slightest good thing happened, he would flood like a flood. Now there is a demon standing in front of him, and he has the courage to throw a torch in his face.

"I thought you weren't afraid of the dark. Shao Xuechen said.

"How can a person overcome the fear of the heart so easily. Mu Xi shrugged, "Unprovoked fear is born from my heart." ”

The people in the school palace are all the elites of the human race, and geniuses are all over the place. There will be some complaints about these genius elites who are locked in the school palace and can only watch the outside world, and the school palace can only strengthen the management of rectification, so as not to make them like wolves rushing out of the cage when they go out on a mission, doing everything unscrupulously and causing a lot of trouble. The people who can be qualified for the management of the school palace are also the characters who came out of the school palace back then, and they are all people who are very good and have black bellies, and they are definitely not good at stubble. They turned out to be students, so they naturally knew what the students were thinking, so all kinds of gentle regulations were issued, mainly for the mission, after all, no one supervised when the mission was issued, and these geniuses were people who didn't want the consequences and did not want to do anything. One of the most stringent is the "mission report", when the students go out of the task, they need to write out the completion of the task in detail, and hand it over to the action department for inspection after returning to the school palace, and the school palace will check with the management department set up by the local empire, which is very useful, at least the school palace does not need to come forward frequently to deal with the aftermath, and the violent elements who advocate simple and rough principles also consider the severity of the consequences, and no longer only consider the efficiency of doing things. After all, there are some lessons to be learned in this regard...... Several students broke out a battle with the spirit beast that ran out of the back mountain in the downtown area, fighting all the way from the south of the city to the north of the city, causing dozens of houses to be devastated along the way, and the last student released the most powerful means, and several flames erupted from the ground, roasting the spirit beast into charcoal, at this time they almost demolished the city lord's mansion.

Of course, these students were also severely punished, in fact, this is the consistent style of all students, unscrupulous means. They are just simple and rough and rough, not lifeless rushing up, they are not stupid, if it is a more dangerous task, such as against demons or spirit beasts, then they will generally be accompanied by a few people and then unscrupulous, to fight more and less. As for the spirit beast, they only blame it for not cooperating, their original intention was not to hurt it, they just wanted to capture it back to the back mountain, maybe it was just that the means of arresting it were a little rougher, making it mistakenly think that it had been attacked.

He Quan couldn't pull his face to smile everywhere to come up with this countermeasure, and he also said this during the meeting in the playground, as long as you don't make a big move in a crowded place and supervised by the local management department, you can do whatever you want.

A group of violent people shouted and screamed in the playground, at least in a sparsely populated place, they could use all kinds of means against their targets, and the blood flowing in their bodies boiled again. For these students, you can't always suppress them too much, but if one of these students has poor psychological endurance, goes crazy and breaks through the defenses of the school palace, and runs to any place to go crazy, it is a disaster, ordinary people can't suppress them, and will only become a tool for them to vent.

"Then what should we do if we follow the clues to find the sorcerer who committed the crime?" Mu Xi held the torch and strode in front of Shao Xuechen, the torch gave him a lot of courage, before that he followed Shao Xuechen's ass behind, "Secretly arrested? Sneak and stalk him suddenly? Or lure him to a place where there are few people, and use all kinds of means to beat him half to death first?"

Mu Xi's methods all avoided the densely populated area according to He Quan's words, but he forgot that the young man in front of him who looked like he was a murderous embryo who didn't blink an eye, and he was imprisoned in the back mountain for eight years, I am afraid that everyone will go crazy, although it looks harmless to humans and animals now, but who knows if he will suddenly pull out his sword and slash indiscriminately? No one in Wending City can stop him, so he can only transfer people from the Xue Palace. Besides, he still doesn't understand the transformation of the school palace, right? Mu Xi felt the need to remind Shao Xuejian, lest this guy rush up without saying a word after finding someone, and fight with others under the shocking gaze of all ordinary people in the downtown area.

"Hey, let me tell you first, the system of the Academy Palace does not allow any civilian losses, nor does it allow any panic. Mu Xi turned his head with a serious expression, "That is to say, if we want to do it, we must also be in a sparsely populated place." At the same time, to write a mission report, the school palace will check with the local management department. ”

He has also had some tasks similar to arresting in the city before, the objects are all spirit beasts with low intelligence, and the capture plan is either to lure, use its favorite food to lure it to a place that has been ambushed in advance, or it is to drive it out of the city from several directions at the same time, as for some disobedient people, then they can only be killed on the spot, after all, the two sides can't stare at each other with big eyes, right?

But for humans, this is the first time he has a heart, and he has no bottom in his heart. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if the mission fails, the most important thing is not to make any noise, and not to have ordinary casualties, this is the bottom line of the Academy.

Mu Xi was afraid that Shao Xuechen would make trouble, and Shao Xuechen felt that these systems were completely restricted, just like the corsetions worn by women in the Sith Empire in pursuit of beauty, which was very uncomfortable. But looking at Mu Xi's serious gaze, he still nodded, "Hmm." ”

Shao Xuechen was a little confused, just doing a task, can't you just clean it up neatly? As for the whole of so many moths? As long as you ensure that the personnel are not harmed, can't you afford to pay compensation or something? The empire's annual appropriation is greedy by a few of you, right? Aren't you going to go out on a mission before, simple and rude? After becoming a teacher, you will take revenge on the students, so as to get the pleasure of being trampled under the feet of the teacher back then.

"But if things go out of our hands, or out of our control. Shao Xuechen said lightly, his eyes were as sharp and cold as a sword, "I don't mind using more radical means to kill directly." ”

Mu Xi didn't think he was joking, just listening to him like this, he could hear a ruthlessness, like a sword that had been buried in the ground for many years, and gradually appeared on the surface after being beaten by wind and rain.

It was already raining in the sky, and the rain slapped on the window edge and then gathered into streams, the first storm before the beginning of winter, as if to announce the arrival of ice and snow to the world, and the deafening thunder seemed to deafen people's ears before they stopped.

Through the frosted glass, a warm light can be faintly seen, and there are several figures. Sideways is a polished and lacquered birch table, on which the spout of a white bone china teapot is steaming. The room was surprisingly quiet, usually these old men were noisy when they got together, tearing each other apart, never so quiet. If it weren't for the fact that their chests were still rising and falling and they were still breathing gently, it is estimated that some people would think that they had gone to the west together.

This is the principal's office, since the new system was issued, the school palace has rarely come forward to lose money, and the empire's appropriation was used by He Quan to repair the buildings of the school palace and improve the food.

He Quan said that only a comfortable atmosphere can enable students to study well. Ang Weizhi disagrees with this and strongly opposes it, he believes that such a luxurious environment will only make the students gradually lost. But his opposition was useless, He Quan was the principal.

He Quan picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea for the two sworn friends who had been arguing together for decades, and also poured himself a cup. It is his favorite flower tea.

"You should be prepared to lose money this time. He Quan's tone was a little sad, he was reluctant to let those gold coins shine in the light, "That little guy is a straight sword, and he will cut people when he touches it." ”

"You guy with a head full of money, wipe your eyes and you're about to shed tears. Ang Weizhi glanced at He Quan, "Let Mu Xi go with him?" ”

"But he's more reliable than the vast majority. At least he wouldn't abandon his companions, and I could see clearly on the battlefield that his legs were shaking, but he never took a step back. Xiao Yan said that in fact, he had a good impression of Mu Xi, and he liked the kind of eyes on him that he was obviously afraid of death but refused to take a step back.

But that doesn't overturn the fact that he's a piece of waste. Let him go with Shao Xuechen, it is estimated that it will only become a burden to him. This is an indisputable fact. Ang Weizhi said loudly, not so much that he is old-fashioned, it is better to say that he is realistic, useless is useless, waste wood is waste wood, he has always spoken so directly, even if the person concerned is on the scene, he will still say, "He has so many failed in the final assessment every time." ”

"Does Shao Xuechen need a companion for the mission?" He Quan was looking down at the calm tea in the cup, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Hasn't he always done things according to his own ideas?" Mu Xi couldn't stop him, believe me, this mission Mu Xi is just a passerby, and Shao Xuechen is still in charge. ”

In fact, in the final analysis, the two of them have the same opinion of Mu Xi, a proper piece of waste wood, even if he is the prince of a neighboring country, and his father is a high-ranking emperor of a neighboring country, but if you have no ability, others just look down on you, you are still a waste wood, and waste wood can't be said?

"Listen to what you mean, Mu Xi is a proper waste wood?" Xiao Yan knocked on the table and said.

He Quan and Ang Weizhi's faces were full of expressions of "Isn't it".

"Alright, don't knock. He Quan's face was full of distress, this was the table he bought for hundreds of gold coins, hand-carved by the master carpenter, "This table is very expensive, what should you do if you break it?"

"When will you be able to change your money-loving problem? Xiao Yan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the rain outside, this frosted glass looked clearly from the inside and outside, "It's too early to say that he is waste wood now." People always need to grow up slowly, maybe he is a late bloomer. ”

Xiao Yan saw it very clearly, Mu Xi's eyes still had a wolf-like fierce light under panic, although it was very weak, but if he couldn't keep it, he would change? Just like a wolf cub with weak minions drank blood, the wolf blood flowing in his body began to boil, and the wolf's ferocity flowed out and condensed on the bare white teeth. What's more, the tiger father has no dog son......

The rain was falling outside, the wind was blowing, and the trees that obscured the sky were blown to the side, revealing a black and oppressive sky, and at this moment a flash of lightning flashed.
