Chapter 200: The Underground Ring (7)

Back at the hotel, Mu Chen had a good night's sleep, and then routinely practiced boxing to recharge his energy and prepare for the battle at night.

In addition, after careful consideration, Mu Chen adjusted the spirit shadows in the two spirit frames in his mind to madness and clone. Although Mu Chen consumed a lot of mental power last night to switch phantoms and use the clone ability, it was too much to worry about it, but it was better to be prepared for a rainy day. Yesterday he rejected the prince's solicitation, and today he has to bet against the second prince, so it is better to be careful. The madness guarantees combat effectiveness, and the clone can ensure the strain in case of a situation.

In addition, Mu Chen asked Li Yang about the current princes. The one he met last night was determined, and the title was Prince Ding, who was the brother of Li Yang's father, and his imperial uncle.

"By the way, Brother Mu, do you remember the underground ring I told you last time?" At lunchtime, Mu Chen, Li Yang, Bole and Jing were eating a meal. Li Yang suddenly spoke.

Mu Chen's heart jumped, raised his head, and looked at Li Yang: "Remember, what's wrong?"

Li Yang smiled slightly and said, "Tonight, there is a wonderful game in the underground ring, and it is said that my second brother is going to bet against a new champion. We decided to go and see it in the evening, would you like to come with us?"

After listening to this, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and only then began to listen to Li Yang talk about the underground ring, he only said that the matter of his own private fight was known to them. Now it seems that he is overthinking.

Smiling, Mu Chen said, "I won't go, I have something to do at night." ”

After thinking about it, Mu Chen took out a silver ticket of 50,000 taels from his arms and put it on the table, "This is 50,000 taels, although I can't go at night, but you don't want to go." Then put these 50,000 taels on the opponent of the second prince instead of me. ”

The three of them were stunned, and Bole had already exclaimed, "Brother Mu, are you crazy? You haven't even seen the two people fighting tonight, so you want to press 50,000 taels? Also, where did you get these 50,000 taels?"

Li Yang was a little cautious and didn't speak, but he also cast an inquiring gaze.

Mu Chen smiled slightly, scratched his head, and then made up a white lie: "This money was borrowed from Liu Fei." ”

Li Yang opened his mouth and said: "Then you can't just press it without looking at it." That's 50,000 taels of silver tickets!"

Mu Chen didn't know how to answer. Clam up. Li Yang sighed. "Well, since you insist, I'll help you press it down that night. ”

Mu Chen said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Li!"

"By the way, I saw that Brother Liu seemed to be back yesterday, do you want to call him tonight?"

Mu Chen hurriedly stopped, "Forget it, I think he's very tired, you can just go directly at night, don't call him." ”

Mu Chen had just lied that the money was borrowed from Liu Fei, if he followed him at night, wouldn't it be debunked all at once? Moreover, after borrowing money last time, Liu Fei still looked lukewarm when he saw him. It gave Mu Chen a headache.

Fortunately, Li Yang didn't think much about it, and gave up after mentioning it. After lunch, they dispersed. Mu Chen returned to the room and continued to cultivate. In the evening, there was an inexplicable restlessness. wanted to talk to Liu Fei, but after remembering the latter's cold attitude, he gave up, gritted his teeth, and got up to go out. It's going to go straight to the fragrance boat.

In the lobby of the hotel, Li Yang and the others happened to be drinking tea, and after seeing Mu Chen, they asked, "Brother Mu, where are you going so late?"

Mu Chen was slightly stunned when he saw Li Yang and the others, and then said, "I'll go to Qingxiangfang to listen to music." ”

Li Yang looked abrupt, and Bole laughed even more, "I said that you don't go to the underground ring with us at night, it turns out that you have an appointment with a beautiful woman." ”

Mu Chen smiled wryly, and simply acquiesced. Under the different eyes of Li Yang and others, they left in a hurry.

Upstairs, Liu Fei, who had just walked out of the door and walked towards Mu Chen's room, snorted coldly when she saw this scene, returned to her room, and slammed the door fiercely.

"Dead wood, heart wood, go to death! This girl originally wanted to give you a chance, but now, I hate you for the rest of my life!"

"Ahh

Mu Chen didn't know that he was cursed again unintentionally. He sneezed, and then went straight to the fragrance boat.

The fragrance boat is still lively, although there is no white shoulder to shoulder on the day of the pavilion, but it is not bad. After all, as the premier fireworks venue in the imperial city, there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

After Mu Chen came to Qingxiangfang, he was already seated with ** hospitality.

At this time, Bai Pianpian was playing in the field, and the refreshing song echoed in the boat, but the sadness hidden in the song was still there.

After a song, Bai Pianpian left the table and retreated. Many high-rollers from other places begged for a lot of money, but they were rejected by the bustard one by one. Sigh and leave.

Mu Chen stepped forward and came to the old bustard, "I want to see Miss Pianpin." ”

"Childe is really embarrassed, she doesn't see guests. ”

After Yunyan finished speaking subconsciously, he saw Mu Chen's face clearly, and was slightly stunned, "It's you?"

"It's me. ”

Mu Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took out a silver ticket with a denomination of 1,000 taels, "I want to meet Miss Pianpian, Yunyan, you won't let me see it, right?"

Yunyan quietly accepted the silver ticket, and said with a low smile, "How can it, Pian Pian is not your son sooner or later, see what can't be done." However, it's getting late, and Pian Pian is still a yellow flower girl after all, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to stay too long. ”

Mu Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, just for a while." ”

Yun Yan smiled, "Childe is really a reasonable person, I'll take you to see Pianpin." ”

The two of them walked forward, and before they reached Pianpian's boudoir, Yunyan had already shouted, "Pianpian, Mu Gongzi has come to see you again! ”

The curtain was lifted, and what came out was the maid named Xiaoqing who was Bai Pianpian, and after seeing Mu Chen, there was some scrutiny in his eyes, and after looking Mu Chen up and down, he smiled with satisfaction, "Mu Gongzi, you are here." The young lady is inside. ”

Mu Chen nodded at her, then lifted the curtain and walked into the boat. I saw that Bai Pianpian was still dressed as that day, sitting at the table, gently making tea.

Outside, there was the sound of clouds and smoke leaving. In the boat, only Mu Chen and Bai Pianpian were silent, a charming atmosphere was brewing, Mu Chen coughed dryly, broke the deadlock and said, "Miss Pianpian, meet again." ”

Bai Pian's head fluttered, still silent.

Mu Chen touched his nose, although he didn't have anything to say, but after seeing Bai Pianpian, his restless heart suddenly settled down inexplicably. Probably because the two of them had a common experience, the orphan who was also the disaster of the Eight Gates, Mu Chen had an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he saw Bai Pianpian. But speaking of which, compared to Bai Pianpian, he is much better. At least now he has the strength to protect himself, and he can control his own destiny. And keep moving forward on the path of revenge. And Bai Pianpian fell into the fragrance boat, precarious, and even fate was not in his control, he was used as a tool for the brothel to make money, and he would be thrown out of the brothel at some point and used as a plaything for strange men.

Thinking like this, Mu Chen looked at Bai Pianpian even softer, and felt more pity in his heart. Subconsciously clenched his fists and said firmly, "I said last time, I will redeem myself for you." This promise is about to be fulfilled. ”

After listening to Mu Chen's words, Bai Pianpian was not as excited as he expected, but smiled sadly, "Thank you for your kindness, Pianpian stayed in Qingxiangfang very well, and she didn't want to leave." ”

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked eagerly, "What are you doing here?" If you stay here, you can't help yourself, sooner or later you will be willing to fall by yourself?"

Bai Pianpian lowered her head, "In Qingxiangfang, it is also fallen, and it is also reduced when you go with Gongzi, what's the difference." ”

As he spoke, Pian Pian raised her head, and above her stunning face, there were already tears flowing down, pear blossoms and rain, and I felt pity.

Mu Chen's heart shook, he didn't expect that he would be like this in Bai Pianpian's heart. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case: Mu Chen's pity is just his subjective feeling after knowing Bai Pianpian's identity, but Bai Pianpian doesn't think so.

"Come to think of it, how does my behavior make it different from that of others who covet her beauty—at least in her opinion. Mu Chen was helpless.

"Miss Pian, you're mistaken. I'm not. ”

Mu Chen sighed, thought about it, and said solemnly in a low voice, "Pianpian girl, I didn't expect my behavior to make you misunderstand. In that case, I'll be honest with you. ”

Bai Pianpian looked at Mu Chen quietly with a pair of beautiful eyes, not knowing what the latter was going to say.

Mu Chen coughed lightly, and then said, "Miss Pianpian, you are the descendant of the Bai family back then." ”

Bai Pianpian nodded, and there was some pride on her face. Although the Eight Great Families were exterminated by the emperor on the grounds of the "Eight Gate Disaster", it is obvious that Bai Pianpian is still proud of being a member of the Bai family.

Mu Chen paused for a few seconds, then stood up and said solemnly, "Reacquaint yourself, my name is Mu Chen, a descendant of the Mu family." ”

Bai Pianpian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, showing surprise in her eyes, "The Mu family?, is that the Mu family?!"

Mu Chen smiled slightly, "Ji, Bai, Ban, Fan, Mu, Xiahou, Helian, Huangpu." Back then, the Eight Great Families, my Mu family, was also the protagonist of the Eight Gates. However, because of the current situation, I had no choice but to go incognito, assuming the pseudonym Mu Renjiu, and studying at the Jianming Martial Arts Academy. Miss Pian Pian is the third person in the world to know my identity, and I hope you can keep it a secret. ”
