Chapter 210: Birthday Storm Waves Pushing Waves II
(Because of the mobile reading base, the updated chapters can't be modified, sorry, I'll try to avoid typos in the future.) ())
There is no doubt that some people are destined to be the protagonists of the stage of life from birth to growth, not only conspicuous but also highly respected, in addition to attracting the attention of others in every move, they will also get countless flowers and applause, in the eyes of many people, Mo Xiao is undoubtedly such an existence, aside from Mo Xiao is the envy of many people, the battle between Mangguo and Yanguo half a year ago made this man's name remembered by more people, plus it is rumored that Mangguo Khan has been sick in bed for a long time- Mo Xiao has become one of the most competitive personnel competing for the position of Khan, so in the eyes of those rich or noble people in the Lu Mansion at this moment, the arrival of the hot Mo Xiao is far more attractive than the rare birthday gifts he brought, after all, priceless treasures are easy to obtain, and it is rare to be human.
The world is like this, whether it is a man or a woman, because the things that are valued in the heart are different, what they want is not the same, some people want to be rich and rich, some people want to be safe in a lifetime, some people want to grow old with their love, some people only want to leave a name for eternity, and so on, no matter what the result is, just like the happiness that most people seek is nothing more than the word happy, and how to measure happiness? Aside from the connection with the heart, there are those things outside the body.
When the Demon Sect spread this sentence throughout the continent, some people scolded them for saying that the Demon Cultists were too selfish and should be attacked in groups, but in fact, those who wanted to kill the Demon Sect quickly in their mouths disappeared in the rolling river of history because of interests, so there are too many stories in this world about people dying for money and birds dying for food.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Mo Xiao, those who were called the upper class in Yanguo wanted to take this opportunity to make love with Mo Xiao, so when Mo Xiao came to the courtyard, Mo Xiao was surrounded by many people, the businessman was very profitable, and the merchant wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Mo Xiao, after all, after the Yan Kingdom ceded the city to Mangguo, although the two countries were adjacent, but Lu Tianxing had been prohibiting trade in those cities in the north out of some concerns, except for the necessary daily necessities, Yan and Mangguo could be said to have not had much trade, and it was only temporary for the rich merchants to open, how much income could the millions of people in Mangguo bring to the economy of YanguoIf one day the Yan Kingdom and the Mangguo Kingdom can communicate with each other economically, they will have too much profit to gain.
Different from business, those officials in the Lu Mansion at this moment are just greeting Mo Xiao, although they used to be mortal enemies with Mangguo and Yanguo, but now the two countries have already made friends?
Compared with Mo Xiao, who attracted most of the attention in the courtyard at the moment and was surrounded by people, Su Qin was much more lonely and lonely.
Seeing Mo Xiao coming here, Su Qin, who wanted to leave, was stopped by a person.
It's a little warm to the hand, and there's a little shiver.
Feeling the warmth coming from his hand, Su Qin's body suddenly stiffened.
It's an amazing feeling.
Su Qin, who lowered his head, didn't need to look back to know who was holding his hand.
"Don't talk, come with me. Listening to the voice coming from the side, Su Qin forcibly broke free from some irrepressible emotion, and then restrained himself from turning his head to look at the ** of the person around him, and with a slight nod, he followed the person to the place where there were few people in front.
No one noticed that the two figures, one on the left and one on the right, disappeared from the courtyard.
Just after Su Qin left, the people who had originally surrounded Mo Xiao disappeared because of the shouting and singing outside the door.
Among them, most of the officials left Mo Xiao's side.
It's like drawing some kind of line.
All this fell in Mo Xiao's eyes, and it felt like a tree was falling and the macaque was scattered, but Mo Xiao didn't care, and the corners of his mouth were still with a faint smile and the people around him.
Until someone comes in through the gate.
"Phoenix City Lord Guo Shihao has a courtesy to congratulate. "This is a sentence that those officials heard just now, and it is also the reason why they left Mo Xiao, Guo Qili's death is now in an uproar in the entire Yan country, especially among the lower class poor, there are many rumors among the lower class of the poor, what killed Guo Qili is a master in the world, and even more rumored that this is the Phoenix Army offended the people in the palace, otherwise why is Guo Qili's death not investigated?
Although there are many theories and they are all false, there is only one truth, although no one knows the truth except for a very small number of people.
Just because no one knows doesn't mean that no one guesses, just like when the Phoenix Army was heading north, why did Mangguo go south? And Lu Tianxing didn't care about it?
So the seemingly vague truth is very clear, that is, the murderer who killed Guo Qili may be inextricably linked to Mangguo, and this is no longer a mystery in the upper class society of Yanguo, but no one has broken it, after all, there is such a big movement from the Jinxiu of Fire City, if Lu Tianxing does not give Guo Shihao an explanation, I am afraid that the hot-tempered Guo Shihao will not be reconciled, and the city lord of the entire Yan Country will probably be cold.
It's just that when their speculation became true no matter what source it came from, many people chose to remain silent.
They watched in silence as Guo Shihao waved his troops north, and watched in silence as Mo Xiao took the ...... with an iron horse looked at Guo Shihao, who came to the courtyard at this moment, silently.
As for the reason why the silence is very simple, since they know that it was the people of Mangguo who killed Guo Qili, although they don't know who it is, but the person who can drive Mo Xiao out should not be simple, Mangguo and Yanguo have just ended the war, and now if they don't handle it well, I'm afraid that the war will start again, and no one wants to be infamy, so whether it's a good friend with Guo Shihao or someone who wants to get acquainted with Mo Xiao, they all wisely chose to wait and see. Before, they were polite with Mo Xiao because Mo Xiao could bring them benefits in the future, and Guo Shihao's appearance made them worried, although they were not afraid of Guo Shihao, but Guo Shihao was Guo Qili's son, if Guo Shihao saw himself talking and laughing with Mo Xiao, he wouldn't hold a grudge against himself? Even if Guo Shihao and them didn't have any intersection, who could guarantee that something would happen in the future?
After all, the Phoenix Army led by Guo Shihao is now the strongest local army in the Yan Kingdom.
To a certain extent, if you control the army, you also have a certain right to speak, and at the same time, you also control your own destiny.
Civilian rulers govern the country, military attaches fight the world, although Yanguo has emphasized literature and light military force over the years, but in the eyes of these scholars who grew up studying, even if they don't value Guo Shihao and these martial artists or even despise them a little, that is under the premise of the country's prosperity and long-term stability, in the current situation, they are still a little afraid of Guo Shihao from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at Guo Shihao, who suddenly arrived, there was a brief silence in the courtyard.
Guo Shihao's gaze swept and fell on Mo Xiao's face.
Mo Xiao did not deliberately avoid Guo Shihao's gaze, but looked at him.
Looking at the two people who looked at each other, many people chose to avoid it, so there was no one between Guo Shihao and Mo Xiao, leaving a two-zhang long open space, I don't know if it was an illusion, they always felt that the originally warm weather had become slightly cold at this time.
"I didn't expect you to come. Looking at Mo Xiao, Guo Shihao took a step forward when he said this, and with every step he took, the pressure in the air around him became heavier, and when he stopped in front of Mo Xiao, those who had originally left took seven or eight steps back as if they had been pushed away.
And Mo Xiao was still standing in place, as if he didn't feel the pressure brought by Guo Shihao at all, he still had a smile on the corner of his mouth and listened to Guo Shihao's words, just smiled lightly, and then looked at the imposing Guo Shihao and said, "Can't I come to celebrate my birthday?"
"You know that's not what I'm talking about. Looking at Mo Xiao, who pretended to be confused, Guo Shihao frowned, raised his head and took another step forward.
"Please also ask City Lord Guo to say ......" Speaking of this, Mo Xiao paused, looked at Guo Shihao and asked rhetorically, "Isn't City Lord Guo here to celebrate his birthday?"
"Good, good. Hearing Mo Xiao's words, he seemed to have heard an extremely ridiculous answer, Guo Shihao raised his head and said loudly, "Okay, very good", and suddenly took another step forward. "I have heard for a long time, His Royal Highness Mo's tongue is extremely sharp, and when I see it today, it is really better to hear it, so it is better to see each other. ”
City Lord Guo laughed. Looking at Guo Shihao, who was only three steps away from him, Mo Xiao, who had been smiling on his face, frowned at this time, and when he spoke, his eyes glanced at the place where Mo Xiao's footsteps had just fallen - the bluestone under Guo Shihao's feet was cracked.
As soon as Mo Xiao's words fell, the brocade clothes worn by Guo Shihao automatically rose up without wind, and just when Mo Xiao raised his eyes to look at Guo Shihao again, Guo Shihao took another step forward!
This step is still light in the eyes of outsiders, but Mo Xiao knows that this is Guo Shihao's secret challenge to himself.
"I have long heard that the Phoenix Army is a brave army. Mo Xiao took a half step forward lightly as he spoke, first clenched his fist, and then raised his hand and waved it in front of him, as if waving the dust that appeared in front of him, "City Lord Guo, we will have time to discuss in the future, and I am afraid that we will not have a chance today." ”
Seeing Mo Xiao wave his hand to avoid his attack, Guo Shihao frowned, and just as he was thinking about whether to continue to attack, a shout came from outside the hall at this moment.
"The Dragon and Tiger Sect has a courtesy to congratulate!"
Hearing the shouts outside the gate, Guo Shihao knew what Mo Xiao's words were referring to just now, and in desperation, he chose to take a step back at this time.
At the moment when Guo Shihao retreated, the pressure that enveloped everyone's body suddenly realized that those who were originally onlookers realized that they didn't know when they had been soaked with sweat.
And Mo Xiao lowered his head at this time, and a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
