Chapter 225: Undercurrents are surging
"You're leaving?"
Sun Jiahao's eyes widened in disbelief, he thought that Mu Lingxi was like this, it must be because the emperor promised her something. What can an emperor promise a woman? He could figure it out on his knees, so he didn't expect her to go.
"Or do you think I need to ask you to protect him?"
"No, I can't figure it out......"
"You don't have to figure it out, you just have to remember what you promised me. If something happens to him, even if he chases him to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go. ”
Sun Jiahao twisted his eyebrows, because he really felt the killing intent on Mu Lingxi's body just now. It's just that such an incompetent person, what is there to deserve her like this?
"You stand down first, come back tonight, and remember to wear your night clothes."
Mu Lingxi lowered his head to get the medicine and commanded in a low voice. The tone was as normal as if you were saying that you were coming to dinner today.
"What do you want to do?"
Sun Jiahao's heart had a bad premonition.
"The second thing you promised."
It was difficult for this person to communicate, Mu Lingxi decided not to tell him first, and when he got there, he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
Seeing that Mu Lingxi didn't plan to talk to him anymore, Sun Jiahao had no choice but to leave on his own, but he kept guessing in his mind what she was going to do. He knew it wouldn't be a good thing, otherwise why would he have to act in the evening?
The Qingxin Hall was still quiet, at least those people didn't dare to make any moves even though they took turns to test it. But secretly, those civil and military officials have been having trouble sleeping recently, and they don't know how to stand in line next is the best choice for themselves.
Although An Yuxuan only killed an alchemist by force, those scheming old foxes already smelled a hint of a difference.
The left and right phases have always been mortal enemies, but today they sit together for the first time.
The two sat opposite each other, but neither of them was in a hurry to speak.
The left prime minister's right hand rubbed lightly on the teacup in front of him a few times, and his eyes drooped slightly, just avoiding the gaze of the other side.
"This tea tastes good!"
The right minister suddenly picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
This may seem like an inconsequential, or normal, action. But because these two people are the left and right phases, this insignificant action represents a signal. A signal to let go of all past grievances and join forces temporarily.
"Haha, it's really good tea!"
At this time, Zuo Xiang also picked up the teacup on the table and took a shallow sip.
The time for the two to meet from beginning to end did not exceed ten minutes in total, and the only thing they said was the evaluation of tea. But these simple, two sentences without a beginning and no end mean that the sky of the Red Flame Country is about to change.
Mu Lingxi refined all the pills for An Yuxuan that were enough for him to condition his body, and refined fifteen bottles of the Spirit Building Pill for him before stopping.
The Spirit Pill is almost no side effects to improve cultivation, but it is also effective for cultivation below the Xuan Domain, and it is ineffective beyond the Xuan Domain.
A feeling of dizziness hit, and Mu Lingxi realized that she had not rested for a day and a night. No, I'll have to lie down for a while. Once you realize that you are tired, the tiredness hits you like a mountain and you can't bear it anymore.
Sun Jiahao sat on the wall, watching the sunset on the horizon and slowly hiding in the fiery red clouds, and then slowly disappeared below the horizon.
What exactly does she want to do?
Sun Jiahao had a splitting headache, he had been thinking about it all afternoon, but he still didn't have a clue. He told himself not to think about it, but the more he did, the more he couldn't help it, because his instinct told him that what she was going to do tonight must be something big.
After a hard day, and finally waited until ten midnight, Sun Jiahao came to the Qingxin Hall as promised. But there wasn't even a ghost there.
What about people? Sun Jiahao's head is a bit big. She can also miss such an important matter??? What the hell is that woman up to? Hasn't she been staying in the Pure Heart Hall all along? Where can she go on the big night?
Sun Jiahao wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, he was afraid that Mu Lingxi might just be delayed, so he waited in the front hall of the Qingxin Palace. Maybe it was too boring, and I don't know when, Sun Jiahao also fell asleep.
Everything is in order, and you have a good night's sleep.
When Mu Lingxi opened his eyes, there was a blank in his mind for a moment...... Immediately after, all the memories came back in an instant.
I'll go like this, she shouted in her heart, she was going to die, and she slept again, Mu Lingxi beat her head, and then rushed out of the room as fast as she could.
However, when she rushed into the front hall of the Qingxin Palace, the picture in the hall made her cry and laugh a little.
Sun Jiahao sat on the ground with his buttocks on the table, leaning on the leg of the table, sleeping soundly, and showing no sign of waking up. Mu Lingxi circled around him. He was here last night waiting to fall asleep? Although this person's temper is not very good, his character is okay and he is still trustworthy.
"Hey, get up!"
Mu Lingxi shouted.
"What?"
Sun Jiahao reflexively got up from the top and looked around with a confused expression.
"Do you still know where you went last night, why did you miss the appointment?"
Sun Jiahao finally came back to his senses and stared at Mu Lingxi with a resentful expression.
Mu Lingxi coughed lightly twice, "I'm sorry, I was too tired yesterday, and I fell asleep when I went back to my room." ”
Sun Jiahao's face immediately darkened, so this woman asked him to wait here all night, and she ran back to the room to sleep? How could she do that? Who is she? Exasperating!!!
"That, it's really my fault, ...... tonight"
"There's no more tonight, I'm not going."
After Sun Jiahao finished speaking, he walked out of the Qingxin Hall without looking back. It took Mu Lingxi a while to come back to his senses, as for being so angry?
Forget it, anyway, I was going to act alone. Mu Lingxi told herself.
Sun Jiahao left angrily, and Mu Lingxi himself was left in the front hall of the Qingxin Palace. She sat down on a stool and pulled a bunch of food out of the space. It is not an exaggeration to say that her chest is pressed against her back when she is hungry at this time, and her appetite is greatly increased when she looks at the food on the table.
Although she was in An Yuxuan's palace, she would never dare to eat the food in the palace.
After filling his stomach, Mu Lingxi practiced a few more furnaces of pills, and then carefully reviewed the plan in his heart, and only after confirming that it was correct, he put his mind at ease.
When Mu Lingxi was arranging a series of plans, someone was also in full swing to lay out the overall situation. The national strength of the Red Flame Country is not very good, and some people still have a good set of power tricks. Although today's situation is a bit unexpected and a little tricky, if this accident can't be solved, they will be in vain.
With yesterday's lesson, Mu Lingxi didn't dare to do that kind of alchemy today, but read a medical book for a day. Seeing that it was about to enter midnight, she changed into her nightwalking clothes and prepared to do the first thing she had planned.
Just as she was about to sweep out of the Qingxin Palace, a black shadow flashed, and Sun Jiahao appeared in front of Mu Lingxi.
Mu Lingxi was a little surprised, "Aren't you angry?" ”
"I'm so stingy with a big man?"
Mu Lingxi: "......"
When she didn't ask anything.
"Let's go!"
Mu Lingxi swept out of the Qingxin Hall first.
Sun Jiahao followed.
Seeing Mu Ling directly out of the palace, Sun Jiahao chased after him, "Hey, where are we going?" ”
"General's Mansion!"
General's Mansion? What did she go to the General's Mansion for? A trace of doubt flashed in Sun Jiahao's heart, but then, his mouth suddenly widened, and his jaw almost didn't fall. This woman, is she crazy?
"Are you crazy?"
Sun Jiahao grabbed Mu Lingxi and roared.
"If you want to help me, I will help me, and if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Mu Lingxi threw down this sentence and flew out directly.
Sun Jiahao clenched his fists, and a look of struggle clearly flashed on his face.
I really owe it to you! After a moment of hesitation, Sun Jiahao followed. I must be crazy, I must have been infected by that damn woman.
Feeling the breath approaching from behind, the corners of Mu Lingxi's mouth hooked slightly. In terms of force, she is not afraid of those people, but if she is discovered, it will eventually disrupt her future plans.
"Do you know what happens if you miss?"
Sun Jiahao chased after him, with a sad face.
Mu Lingxi glanced at him, "You can steal the flutes in the palace, aren't you even more handy of the things in the General's Mansion?" ”
Sun Jiahao ran wild, "Don't you know that the General's Mansion is much more difficult to enter than the Imperial Palace?" ”
Belch......
This Mu Lingxi really doesn't know, but even if she knows, she still has to come, so there is no essential difference between knowing and not knowing.
Seeing those people bullying An Yuxuan like this, Mu Lingxi's heart became even more angry. The protection of a general's palace is even tighter than that of the palace, they are very good!
The General's Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace, so the two quickly arrived outside the General's Palace.
Mu Lingxi lowered her eyes and looked at the mansion surrounded by a high wall in the middle below, she swept her senses, and found that it was really as Sun Jiahao said, the guards of the General's Mansion were extremely strict, there was one every ten meters, and this density was indeed far greater than that of the palace.
"See, how do you think you're going to sneak in in this situation?"
Sun Jiahao's gaze also fell on the General's Mansion below.
This is indeed very troublesome, Mu Lingxi can hide her breath, but she can't hide her figure. As soon as they enter, they will be immediately discovered.
"Is there a way to lure the guards away?"
"Why don't I go and get them away, and you go get what you want?"
Although Sun Jiahao's method is not particularly ideal, it is also feasible.
"Is there any other way?"
"If it were normal times, a fire would have been set on fire. But ......"
Sun Jiahao glanced at Mu Lingxi, "The recent disturbance you have made in the palace has obviously touched the bottom line of some people, so there is no better way." ”
Mu Lingxi wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, "Then I'll attract their attention, you steal, you steal things better than me." ”
Sun Jiahao: "......"
This sister, eldest sister, I'm not a professional thief, and I was forced to be helpless when I entered the palace to steal things, okay? What's more, it's that thing she's stealing, and the hell knows where that cunning old thing will hide it.
"You'd better steal it yourself, I'll run fast."
Sun Jiahao felt that this responsibility was too great, and in case he missed, he couldn't afford that responsibility.
"Okay!"
Mu Lingxi no longer hesitated, it was better to have Sun Jiahao to help her attract attention than to come alone.
Sun Jiahao swooped down, and all the guards in the vicinity immediately chased after him.
"There are assassins! Catch the assassins! ”
The guards shouted and chased.
Mu Lingxi took the opportunity to fly and jump into the courtyard. But the unlucky one bumped into a guard who was rushing from the other side.
"Thorn ......"
The man was about to open his mouth to shout, but at this moment, Mu Lingxi's eyes were quick, and he stunned the other party with lightning speed.
Hurriedly glanced at the stunned guard, Mu Lingxi didn't have time to breathe, her body flashed, and she was about to leave, but a person suddenly rushed out from behind the big tree next to her, and the sword in her hand swayed towards her chest.
