This person landed beside Qin Xiao impartially, lowered his body and helped Qin Xiao, who was half-lying on the ground, to pick him up, and then raised his eyes to look at Mu Xize with a cold face, the look in his eyes was complicated, and it seemed to contain a lot of indescribable feelings.

"Xi Ze, since you don't want to come to see me, I'll come to see you, the grievances of seven years ago will be resolved sooner or later. ”

"Master is really a good means, first send Miss Shuang, and then send Qin Xiao, and then show up in person when my heart is soft, I see that you are not asking me to forgive you, but forcing me to forgive you!"

Mu Xize walked past Qin Mingyue, but he didn't look at Qin Mingyue, and said to Ma Zhong in a cold voice: "Little Pony, go prepare some wine and food and send them to Taolan Pavilion." ”

This Mu Xize's master Ma Zhong is also the first time to see it, although he is dignified and magnificent, but he can make the always amiable prince make such a big fire, it must have been a great holiday with the prince, he took away the previous eccentric appearance, and replied solemnly: "No, the small one will do it." ”

The Taolan Pavilion is the highest place in the entire Ning Wangfu, and you can see all corners of the palace when you stand on the Taolan Pavilion. Mu Xize naturally had his intention to place the wine banquet in Taolan Pavilion, in such a place with a wide field of vision, who was going to eavesdrop and who was going to make any small moves, Mu Xize could be clear.

Although Ye Ningxiang was very curious about what kind of grievances this Qin Mingyue had with Mu Xize, it was not good to blatantly eavesdrop on their conversation, and after wandering around under the Taolan Pavilion for a long time, Ye Ningxiang decided to hold back her curiosity and find something else to do for herself.

So she deliberately changed into a new set of clothes and left King Ning's Mansion alone.

Sitting on the Taolan Pavilion, looking down, surrounded by the young grass that has just sprouted and the trees that have pulled out the branches and leaves, there is a trickle of water flowing along the rockery next to the rockery under the pavilion, a breeze blows, the air seems to be able to smell the fresh smell of flowers and grass mixed with the soil from the small garden, which really makes people feel a lot more comfortable in a dull mood.

There were two people sitting at the stone table, and the two of them sat facing each other, but they didn't seem to have the slightest emotion to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Mu Xize poured a glass of wine first, and then politely handed it to Qin Mingyue, who was sitting opposite, although his face was cold, his words revealed the respect of the younger generation for the elders.

"This is a specialty of Shuozhou, Luhua wine, which is specially entrusted by my fifth brother Jing Lian, you can taste it. ”

Qin Mingyue took the wine glass and drank it down, then closed her eyes as if she was brewing what she wanted to say next.

"In the Battle of Wuling back then, I shouldn't have stolen your royal seal under the pretext of visiting the sick, and finally caused such a big disaster. ”

"Everything has been done, don't you think it's too late to mention it or not?"

Mu Xize also poured wine into his cup, his movements were elegant, and his demeanor was calm.

"I thought that you always regarded Su Zhiwu as an enemy, and I thought that you had the intention of seizing power, so I stole the royal seal at the request of our mysterious patron. If I had known in advance that you had a deep affection for that Su girl, even if we broke our contract with the mysterious patron, I would not have done anything that would make you feel guilty for the rest of your life. ”

"Mysterious patron!" Mu Xize sneered, looking at Qin Mingyue's eyes were also shrouded in an eerie chill, "Master, are you still going to deceive me until now, do you really think that I will never be able to find anything after controlling the Shadow Guard for so many years?"

"Since you know everything, you should understand me and forgive me. ”

"You stole the king's seal and united with that patron to frame Su Zhiwu, the real purpose is not to fulfill the contract, but to take revenge. Su Zhiwu was ordered by the emperor to assassinate your relatives, and he was able to leap from a small guard to a general admired by tens of thousands of people. And your patron is your nephew, the owner of Yipinju, Xiao Qingyu, who has the reputation of the world's first son. ”

It turned out that this Qin Mingyue was born in the Wu clan and was ordered by the patriarch of the Wu clan to guard the peace of Dali, but unexpectedly fell in love with the concubine of the emperor who left the country, the turtle beard princess Helan Yan'er.

The first emperor Mu Zongmin was jealous of the power of his mysterious clan, and secondly, he was resentful of Qin Mingyue's capture of Concubine Li's true heart, so he secretly sent Su Zhiwu to gather thousands of dead soldiers to infiltrate the Wuling Valley, steal the scepter of the holy relics in the valley, and finally kill all the Wu people in the valley.

At that time, he was pressed under his biological mother, and only a seven-year-old child escaped by luck, and this child is now Xiao Qingyu.

Seven years ago, when the Mingyue Pavilion was growing rapidly, a person who was generous but could not find out his true identity suddenly made a contract with the Mingyue Pavilion, and the Mingyue Pavilion did something for him for half a year, and the patron provided the Mingyue Pavilion with inexhaustible wealth.

At that time, Mu Xize did not connect this matter with the Su family, and was bent on strengthening the Bright Moon Pavilion and the Shadow Guard that supported the development of the Bright Moon Pavilion, so he agreed to this contract without further investigation. didn't want this contract to become a talisman for their Su family in the end.

Qin Mingyue guessed that Mu Xize knew the secret of his origin in the Wu Clan, but he didn't expect that he even knew the true relationship between Xiao Qingyu and him Qin Mingyue, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.

"Actually, Master, you are also very embarrassed to be caught between me and Xiao Qingyu, they are also people with ambitions to win the world, one is a good apprentice you have cultivated and raised, and the other is your only blood relative in this world, if it is me, it is difficult to choose. ”

Mu Xize took a sip of wine, and his face became calm, like a sane outsider analyzing Qin Mingyue's reason for doing this.

"So you chose a method that can not only help Xiao Qingyu avenge the murder of his mother, but also remove the obstacles to seizing power for me, steal the royal seal, let Xiao Qingyu create a chapter of Su Zhiwu's rebellion and report it to the emperor, bribe the deputy general Jiang Wei, and confirm the crime of Su Zhiwu's rebellion. ”

"I'm sorry. Qin Mingyue let out a long sigh, a pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she was silent for a long time before continuing: "It's all my fault for weighing the pros and cons, causing your wife to expose her body to the wilderness, and causing you to go through seven years in prison, I owe you too much, if it is really only my life that can be repaid, then you can take this life!"

"You know I'm not going to kill you. ”

Mu Xize poured another glass of wine into Qin Mingyue's wine glass, and the indifference in his words gradually dissipated.

"After all, what I have done cannot be changed, I can't go against my heart, act as if nothing happened, but I will no longer stalemate with you. My Shadow Guard was originally for the Bright Moon Pavilion, and after being separated for so long, it was time to return to the Bright Moon Pavilion. I will instruct Gu Liancheng to obey your orders in the future. ”

After eating the dishes silently for a while, Mu Xize continued: "Master, now that I have no desire to fight for power, you don't have to feel guilty about me because you want to assist Xiao Qingyu. However, if he, Xiao Qingyu, regains power by framing Zhongliang, I will definitely make him pay the price of blood. ”

Mu Xize knew what Qin Mingyue was thinking, knew that he felt guilty about Su Zhiwu's rebellion, knew that he wanted to beg for his forgiveness and re-include Shadow Guard, and even knew that he was ready to join Xiao Qingyu's camp and help Xiao Qingyu win the world.

He always knows everything quietly like this, and he has already grasped the overall situation unconsciously, compared to Xiao Qingyu, who acts ruthlessly, he Mu Xize is more suitable to become the lord of the world. However, Qin Mingyue's body was flowing with the blood of the Wu Clan, and he had grown up in the Witch Spirit Valley since he was a child, how could he not know what kind of secret he Mu Xize hid in his body?

Even if he has an amazing talent, an inhuman monster will never be able to become the master of this world, thinking of this, Qin Mingyue's heart unconsciously feels sorry for Mu Xize.

Mu Xize didn't talk much with Qin Mingyue anymore, stood up, and prepared to leave. Just as he walked out of the Taolan Pavilion, Qin Mingyue seemed to hear Mu Xize say to him again: "I think Master should first explore Mu Jingyuan's true identity before considering whether to help Xiao Qingyu or Mu Jingyuan in the future." ”

Looking at Mu Xize's departing back, Qin Mingyue frowned, puzzled by Mu Xize's words before leaving.

Since Wei Xun took over as Dali Siqing, it seems that he has been very busy, and he has never shown his face even for such a major event as Ye Ningxiang's marriage. Since he Wei Xun is too busy to have time, it would be better to change Ye Ningxiang to take the initiative to come to him.

Probably afraid that Wei Xun would be dissatisfied because she had caused the head of her predecessor Dali Siqing to be in a different place, Ye Ningxiang deliberately dressed up and met Wei Xun in the best posture.

However, the moment she saw Wei Xun, Ye Ningxiang felt that she was worried about herself before, because Wei Xun was unkempt at the moment, as if she hadn't had a good rest after staying up for several nights. Still the same as before, the moment he saw Ye Ningxiang, the tiredness on Wei Xun's face was swept away, and his face was filled with joy.

"Ning Xiang, how did you get here?"

Wei Xun was so excited that he almost ran to Ye Ningxiang, with a deep smile on his pale face.

"I saw that you didn't come to the palace to visit me for a long time, so I took the initiative to come to Dali Temple to see you, I thought you were still angry with me, but I didn't expect you to be really busy!"

"Since you got married, the emperor has also handed over the position of inspector to me, but since the last case of selling the official mantle, the inspector has not been a big deal. It's just that in recent days, bizarre murders have always occurred around Jing'an, which has hurt my brain a lot. ”

For this clueless and very bizarre homicide case, Ye Ningxiang is always curious, and her big eyes seem to be shining, as if she has joined the camp to solve the case.

"Brother Wei, tell me quickly, what kind of homicide is it?"

Wei Xun also gave face, and directly pulled Ye Ningxiang to the morgue, where there were seven corpses, all of whom had been murdered and killed in the past five days.

Wei Xun removed the white cloth from each corpse, exposing the half-decomposed corpses.

Ye Ningxiang covered her mouth and nose tightly, eager to vomit out because of the pungent rancid smell.

Wei Xun reacted calmly, and while fiddling with the wounds of the deceased, he said rationally: "These wounds of the deceased are different, you look at this one, it seems that the heart was smashed by the claws of a fierce beast and died. Looking at this body again, it seems that someone has choked the neck and suffocated to death. There is also this one, without the slightest wound on his body, but his face is frightened, and it is clear that he was scared to death by something. ”

was secretly nauseating, and listening to Wei Xun's methodical analysis, Ye Ningxiang couldn't control herself anymore, and kept nagging while stroking the coffin board.

Seeing Ye Ningxiang become like this, Wei Xun no longer analyzed, and almost carried the semi-collapsed Ye Ningxiang out of the morgue. After that, he looked at Ye Ningxiang with a smile and said, "Look, not everyone can adapt to solving the case, you, you have to practice again!"

"I've seen Chunxue's corpse before, and it's natural to feel a little uncomfortable when so many people who die more tragic than Chunxue are displayed in front of me. Ye Ningxiang patted her chest as she spoke, took a few breaths of fresh air, and continued: "I'm fine, let's go back!"

"No need, I've asked the servants to examine those bodies many times, and if you want to know, I can tell you directly. ”

Wei Xun handed Ye Ningxiang a cup of sour jujube tea, and continued: "This tea stops vomiting, you drink it first." Although the causes of death of these corpses are different, they all have one thing in common, that is, the essence on their bodies has been sucked cleanly, and they have just been dead for five days, and they all look as terrifying as dried corpses. ”
