Chapter 172 The Perverse Saint
It was the colorful summer, and the original Lijing City should be colorful and lively, but now the doors of every house are closed, and every household is white.
But even so, a large number of people in the city are still infected, dying, cheating, and disappearing every day.
Fortunately, the dead bodies that disappeared into the cave have not come out to cause the trouble, which is everyone's last comfort.
Everyone knows that this is only temporary.
Qin Mufeng's people and the people of the Shadow Pavilion were all stepping up to collect Luo Xuantie, and even Beichenyu did not hesitate to face the danger of being exposed, and contacted his subordinates to help find it.
In order to be able to develop the antidote as soon as possible, Yun Xi has not closed his eyes for several days.
The darkness under her eyes was terrifying, and Qin Mufeng's heart was dripping blood, but she couldn't say anything to let her rest.
Because he knew that the world was grim, and even if he said it, she wouldn't listen, and he couldn't do anything to force her to rest.
Xuantie is a rare item, not to mention that there are not many that cannot be found in a short period of time, and even if it can be found, there is no way to fight against large-scale dead corpses, and the key to relying on it in the end has to be Yunxi's antidote.
Yun Xi was so busy that she felt a feeling of dizziness in her mind, and she shook her body and almost fell headlong.
Bai Chen's arm that caught her body trembled with anger.
"That's enough, Xiaoxi, take a rest first."
Qin Mufeng, who was a step slower, looked at the two of them and silently withdrew his arm hanging in the air.
Bai Chen suppressed the surging anger in his heart and helped Yunxi sit down.
"Come out with me."
Qin Mufeng met his cold eyes, listening to his forbearant anger, and a trace of emptiness appeared inexplicably in his heart.
He poured Yun Xi a cup of tea, and then got up and followed.
As soon as the door closed, Bai Chen's fist full of anger smashed over with the sound of breaking wind.
Qin Mufeng stood still and didn't move, forcing his fist to follow.
However, his reaction could not offset the anger in Bai Chen's heart at the moment.
He stepped forward and grabbed the clothes on Qin Mufeng's chest.
"Qin Mufeng! That's how you love her? That's how you take care of her? ”
Qin Mufeng knew that he was at a loss, and he did not refute it.
"Sorry...... It's that I didn't take good care of Xi'er, my brother hit right, and he hit lightly. ”
His words made Bai Chen feel a feeling of suffocation when he punched the cotton.
It's not that he doesn't know the current situation, it's not that he doesn't understand, he just ...... I feel sorry for Yunxi, and I am also angry at my own incompetence, and I have nowhere to vent the depression in my heart.
But looking at Qin Mufeng's appearance of being beaten and punished, he suddenly felt that the suffocation in his chest was even heavier.
He let go of his hand angrily and closed his eyes in pain.
"I'm sorry."
A sincere apology sounded in his ears, and Qin Mufeng's heart was even more uncomfortable.
"You're not wrong, you don't have to apologize." It's a good fight, I want to beat myself.
Bai Chen waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with me, with this kind of work, it's better to think about what to do next." ”
With that, he flicked his arms irritably and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Qin Mufeng seemed to let out a helpless sigh, and also walked over and sat down opposite him.
Bai Chen saw that he was just sitting and didn't speak, and the qi in his chest that had just dissipated a little bit instantly had a tendency to converge again.
"Speak."
...... "He didn't want to speak, he really didn't know what to say."
In the face of his eldest brother's murderous gaze, he could only bite the bullet and speak: "Is there anything new about Chu Linghao?" ”
Qin Mufeng looked at the other party's suddenly darkened face, and said in his heart: Sure enough.
"Do you think I'd be so irritable if I made progress?"
“…… Heh, hehe......"
Qin Mufeng laughed twice without embarrassment, in exchange for Bai Chen's even more dissatisfied glare, and finally could only shut up stupidly.
Alas! It's not easy to be a brother-in-law.
"How is Chu Lingtian? I don't know if it's because I'm too careful, or because I don't know him well enough, I always feel like he's a little ...... Blame? ”
"Eh......" Bai Chen threw down his arm irritably: "That's it, I don't know what's going on?" Every time he saw me alone, I felt my back swish. ”
Qin Mufeng's heart jumped, and the strange feeling in his heart resurfaced again.
He looked at Bai Chen with solemn eyes, and he had felt the feelings that the other party had just said on Chu Lingtian's body more than once.
Before, he deliberately deceived himself because he was too careful, but now that he heard Bai Chen say the same, this had to make him think more.
"Brother, just say this to me, I can't call the saint by his name again in the future."
"Hmm." Bai Chen knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he happily agreed.
Only then did Qin Mufeng continue to speak: "What I can be sure of is that he wasn't like this before. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been planning for him for so long, and I would be so embarrassed by the third prince.
Although he didn't say the latter words, Bai Chen could guess just by looking at his expression.
"Again, if you want to know if there are any misunderstandings and hidden secrets, you have to start with the Seventh Prince."
"After all, the Holy Lord can solve the Gu thanks to his help."
Qin Mufeng felt that he couldn't see through the Seventh Prince, since Xi'er was poisoned last time, when the Seventh Prince intended to sell it well, he could no longer see through this man who circled around the Three Princes' women all day long.
He originally thought that the seventh prince would take revenge on the concubine and the third prince for killing his mother, but now it seems that ...... This revenge was too different from what he imagined.
So much so that he couldn't tell what the other party wanted to do.
One thing is for sure, the Seventh Prince should have reached some kind of agreement with Fu Renjiu.
While the two cooperate with each other, they also restrain each other, otherwise they would never have caused the situation they have today.
Bai Chen couldn't agree with Qin Mufeng's words, the problem was that until now, he didn't know why Chu Qin died suddenly.
On the day Chu Qin died, he also entered the palace to see it, and that state really didn't look like a person who would suddenly die of illness.
He had never said it to anyone, but now, he wanted to say it.
Qin Mufeng seemed to see that he wanted to say something, and just waited quietly on the side, without asking.
"On the day of his death, I saw him."
Qin Mufeng's heart was shocked, and his breathing became cautious.
"He ......"
A lot of things that I don't know how to talk about are like that, but once you get started, everything becomes easier.
Bai Chen now felt this way in his heart.
"Although the saint was in poor health during that period and his spirit was not as good as before, it was definitely not a sign of the approaching limit." He affirmed.
Qin Mufeng felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and the sound of beating again and again made his eardrums hurt.
For a moment, the brain loses the ability to think.
"It's strange to say, the secret of the saint who invited me into the palace that day said that he had something important to tell me."
"What's the matter?" Qin Mufeng asked with some eagerness.
Bai Chen frowned slightly: "It's strange here, it's strange, he just chatted with me for a while, and he didn't say anything special at all, so he let me come back." ”
