Chapter 191: Whoever Wins and Who Loses
Ye Ningxiang quietly approached the gate of the main hall of Longhua Palace, trying to find out what secret things the two of them were talking about. As she approached the palace gate, she suddenly heard a violent noise inside the palace, the sound of porcelain breaking, the sound of furniture falling to the ground, and even the sound of weapons sliding quickly through the air.
Judging from all these voices, it is clear that there is a fierce fight taking place in this main hall, and the two sides of the fight can only be Mu Bai and Xiao Qingyu.
Ye Ningxiang had a very bad premonition in her heart, and while knocking violently on the locked palace door, she shouted into the palace: "Your Majesty, open the door quickly, open the door quickly!"
"Ning Xiang, I have some personal matters to deal with, you don't have to worry about me. ”
After Xiao Qingyu shouted these words, he struck at Mu Bai with a peach wood dagger, although this blow was also like a shadow and as fast as lightning, it still didn't hurt Mu Bai at all.
After Xiao Qingyu's several failed attacks, the entire palace was already in shambles, and he was already short of breath after fighting for a while because he was restrained by the ecstasy gem, and his body could hardly move a bit.
Xiao Qingyu knelt on one knee to rest for a while, and then attacked Mu Bai again, but this time Mu Bai did not dodge, allowing Xiao Qingyu to stab the peach wood dagger in his hand into Mu Bai's heart.
Xiao Qingyu didn't expect Mu Bai to suddenly stand there stunned and wait for him to stab the dagger into his heart, he was suddenly shocked, and he retreated again and again, and the dagger was also thrown to the ground by him. Obviously he wanted to kill him, Xiao Qingyu stabbed Mu Bai several times with a peach wood dagger in his hand, just wanting Mu Bai to disappear from this world again and disappear from this world forever.
But when the dagger really passed through Mu Bai's heart, Xiao Qingyu did not feel any joy, no pleasure of being self-serving, but was very disappointed and even very sad. He didn't understand why he, who had always wanted to put Mu Bai to death, was so depressed and uncomfortable when he succeeded. He was stunned, he was shocked, he didn't even know what to do.
"Isn't it very uncomfortable here, as if the whole person is not you?"
Mu Bai, who was stabbed by the peach wood dagger, seemed to have nothing, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, pointing at Xiao Qingyu's heart, and walking towards Xiao Qingyu.
"You can live to this day all thanks to half of my heart, if a person who has received the blessing of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan kills his benefactor with his backhand, he will be counterattacked. If you kill me today with a real peachwood dagger, you will endure the pain of slashing all over your body day and night until you die. ”
Xiao Qingyu looked coldly at the peachwood dagger that was still on the ground by him, revealing a miserable, self-deprecating smile.
"I've been so comfortable for so long that I didn't even notice that the peachwood dagger was dropped by you!"
Mu Bai raised his eyebrows, nodded again, and said, "It seems that although Yu Gongzi is incapacitated, his brain is very bright!"
As soon as the words fell, a strong wind suddenly blew in front of Xiao Qingyu, and then his whole body hit the beam not far behind him, his neck was tightly pinched by Mu Bai's hand, and his originally pale face was flushed with blood stagnation.
"You didn't kill me, now it's time for me to kill you. ”
Such hoarse words seem to come from hell, cold and creepy.
At first, Xiao Qingyu seemed to be unwilling, and his eyes, which had become slightly red because of the struggle, were full of hatred, and his whole body was constantly exerting force, trying to break free from Mu Bai's shackles. But soon, his strength was exhausted, and he could no longer resist under Mu Bai's palm.
The hatred in those reddish eyes faded, and his rapid breathing gradually stabilized, he completely gave up resistance, his whole body relaxed, waiting for Mu Bai to twist his neck and understand his life.
Contrary to what he expected, Mu Bai actually let go of the hand that was clasped around his neck after seeing him react like this, and the person also took a few steps back.
"I was going to kill you just now, you can ask for help outside the palace, and then expose me in public as an inhuman anomaly, and completely make me disappear from your world, why would you rather die than ask others for help?"
In Mu Bai's impression, Xiao Qingyu has always been a person who does not stop until he reaches his goal, ruthless and ruthless, so he framed the Su family, so there was the plague in Linzhou, and there was Tucun in Yishui Village. However, Xiao Qingyu's actions today made it more and more difficult for him to understand what Xiao Qingyu was thinking.
Xiao Qingyu straightened up with difficulty, straightened his clothes again, and then said while sorting out the scattered objects: "I want to kill you, you want to kill me, these are just private matters between you and me, why involve inconsequential people." ”
Seeing that Xiao Qingyu had already begun to tidy up the messy house that had been destroyed by the two of them, Mu Bai expected that Xiao Qingyu's killing intent had disappeared, and he himself had never thought of giving Xiao Qingyu a good time, so he squatted beside Xiao Qingyu very recklessly and helped him sort out the objects on the ground.
"Yu Gongzi, shall we make a deal?"
Xiao Qingyu did not answer Mu Bai's question, but reopened a new topic.
"Mu Xize, I really didn't expect your life to be so hard, and you can still return to the world after your soul is scattered. I think that during this period, Rumo must have helped you a lot. It's just that he's still in this world?"
"I want you to forgive Mu Jinglian's guilt and give him a lofty position above ten thousand people under one person. ”
"But your rebirth has paid a great price, and it doesn't feel good to suddenly become an old man!"
"Xiao Qingyu!"
Xiao Qingyu's two answers to the questions that were not answered were all about Mu Bai's heart, even if he was calm and calm, he really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. So, Mu Bai roared at Xiao Qingyu and motioned Xiao Qingyu to stop saying something that he didn't have anymore.
"Mu Xize!"
Xiao Qingyu's voice was magnetic, and when he spoke loudly, his voice was high-pitched and translucent, completely crushing Mu Bai's hoarse twilight voice. Listening to himself overwhelming the other party in his voice, Xiao Qingyu showed a light smile that was not obvious, and his expression was also a lot more relaxed.
"Why, I said it hurt me, didn't I?"
Xiao Qingyu raised his head and looked at Mu Bai, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You are here to ask for me, how can you shout at me, have you forgotten this royal etiquette, His Royal Highness King Ning?"
Hearing Xiao Qingyu's threatening words, Mu Bai's momentum did not weaken, and his attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant.
"Xiao Qingyu, who do you think will win and who will lose the struggle between us?"
Without waiting for Xiao Qingyu to answer, Mu Bai continued: "I gave up fighting for the country for the sake of women, you won the country but lost your beloved woman forever; ”
"You have lost your youthful face, and I have been poisoned by you for a short time. ”
It was only then that Xiao Qingyu said something he had already guessed but had never mentioned to anyone. Mu Bai thought that what he had done was not leaking, and thought that Xiao Qingyu never knew that his accelerated body failure was caused by him and Ye Ningxiang.
"You know?"
"Originally, I wasn't sure, but since I confirmed that you are Mu Xize, I have already made up my mind that you and Ye Ningxiang secretly poisoned me. ”
Xiao Qingyu's words were calm and calm, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him, and as if his life and death had nothing to do with himself.
"So, I don't think there is a winner between us, and no one loses. If I insist that I am inferior to you, it is only that my identity is not as good as yours, I do not have the noble status of my biological mother, I do not have innate wealth, and I do not have the spiritual power that transcends the mortal. ”
Somehow, hearing Xiao Qingyu's seemingly sad words, Mu Xize's heart trembled slightly, as if he had a trace of pity for his mortal enemy, and even regretted that Ye Ningxiang had associated the Ecstasy Gem with Xiao Qingyu in order to consume Xiao Qingyu's life.
"You killed so many people in Rinzhou, and manipulated Rumo to slaughter the people of Yishui Village. On the way north, you have harmed countless people, and you don't know how many people's blood has been stained on your golden dragon robe. Therefore, it is your retribution and punishment for letting you endure physical exhaustion every day. ”
Even if he Xiao Qingyu guessed that Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize conspired to make him fall for the trick and make him fail day by day, he still couldn't do anything, he couldn't cure Ye Ningxiang for the crime of plotting against the king, and he couldn't kill Mu Xize who could no longer be killed except for the dagger made of 10,000-year-old peach wood in the illusionary realm.
In the final analysis, he was condemned for this loss, and he was also condemned for this sin.
"Even if you don't have the Ecstasy Gem to absorb your essence, you won't live for five years. ”
Mu Xize knew most in his heart the side effects of this nine-tailed fox heart after being reborn, looking at the young emperor in front of him who had the same outstanding talent and ability to govern the country as he did, he would soon be unable to move, his limbs were stiff, and he was paralyzed, he actually felt a little heartache and couldn't bear it.
Perhaps, like Xiao Qingyu, he never really wanted each other's lives, just because he fell in love with the same woman, just because he was in a different country and had different positions, he was always in an opposing position.
"If I don't agree, if I don't forgive Mu Jinglian with all my heart, His Royal Highness King Ning should have nothing to deal with!"
After all, he Xiao Qingyu is the emperor of this world, and the life and death of this world are all in his hands Xiao Qingyu, whether he wants Mu Jinglian to live, whether he wants him to die, whether he wants to be poor all his life or rich and noble all his life, all based on his Xiao Qingyu's words.
However, Mu Xize, who got Ye Ningxiang's true love, was just a warlock with a ruined face and a bit of status in the rivers and lakes.
"My power Yu Gongzi should also know very well, if I turn against it, not to mention that those people who have just been destroyed will fully support the country, even the officials who have been favored by my Shadow Guard over the years will probably turn to my side. At that time, there will be an even bloodier and more brutal war between us. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Qingyu's face sank, and he seemed to be in deep thought, and he didn't say anything for a long time. The name of the Shadow Guard has been resounding in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, although it has now been renamed the Great Bright Moon Palace, but its former majesty is still there, and its influence is still there. If Mu Xize really made up his mind to resist him to the end, I am afraid that he would no longer be able to see the unification of the world and the thriving situation when he breathed.
People are greedy and lazy, when he first won the world, Xiao Qingyu was full of thoughts about how to quickly and steadily pocket the world. But the world was really taken away by himself, but he was no longer willing to give the world to others, and it was difficult to give up peace again, and he re-engaged in the battle that he didn't know whether to win or lose.
Ye Ningxiang, who had been pricking up her ears to listen to the movements in the hall, looked uneasy, for fear that something bad would happen in the hall. Just when she was anxious, Xiao Qingyu suddenly opened the palace door, but his hair was messy, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Little Lizi, prepare some food and wine for me, I have something to talk to Mr. Mu about. ”
At this time, Xiao Qingyu's first sentence after appearing was calm, as if nothing important had happened to him and Mu Bai at all.
The chief eunuch did not dare to ask more, and after kowtowing to receive the order, he went to order the imperial dining room to make a table of exquisite dishes and prepare a pot or two of fine wine.
