Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 156: The Prelude

Previous Chapter

The rabbit meat next to the fire is "squeaking" with oil, after Mu Qing sprinkled some powder on it, the special aroma of the fat mixed with the seasoning spread, hooking a few gluttonous insects, Mu Qing clapped his hands and smiled: "This is the exclusive secret recipe I figured out by myself, and I can eat it after half a cup of tea." ”

In order to rush back to Vermilion Bird City as soon as possible, most of the time they spent the second half of the journey sleeping in the open like tonight, Mu Qing gave up the position to Wuling and Wu Qing, let the brothers and sisters look at the fire, and said to the two sisters who were sitting quietly on the side: "After working hard two sisters, we will be able to go to Vermilion Bird City tomorrow." ”

Wang Xiu smiled and said: "I didn't feel it in Jinguancheng before, but now I have come all the way, watching the rising sun on the flat ground, waiting for the mountains and rivers to hide the sunset, and my mood is much calmer and more comfortable." ”

Liu Yueshan said: "We're okay, it's not cold at night, and there is a carriage to rest." ”

Both girls said good things, but the scattered hair and the tiredness between the eyebrows could not be hidden. Wang Xiuwei pointed to a figure in the distance and said, "My mother asked you to go to her, there should be something to discuss with you." ”

Mu Qing came behind Wang Yeqing and said apologetically: "Because I am alone, let Mrs. Wang, you also sleep with the wind and food, I'm sorry." ”

Wang Yeqing said softly: "As soon as the Tiannan Marsh Forest arrives in summer, it is extremely hot, the swamp and poisonous insects kill the most, and in winter, there are poisonous miasma, and there are crises everywhere. ”

She turned around and said, "Although I am a woman, you seem to have forgotten that I have not been waiting for the Tiannan Swamp Forest, and now what can I count as just a hurry?"

Mu Qing nodded, "I almost forgot who we were. ”

"Why deliberately forget the past, that's what makes you and me now. When Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing, there was pity in his eyes.

In order to cultivate obedient assassins, Hidden Valley plundered most of the orphans, and most of the things they experienced in Tiannan were the same, training, elimination, training, elimination, and so on.

For them, elimination is directly equal to death, you die or I live, friendship and betrayal, all kinds of past dare not be counted, for those who survived, after the wind blew, the sadness at that time has already become an eternal scar in the heart.

Mu Qing squinted his eyes and looked ahead, sketched the outline of this Vermilion Bird City in his heart, and said, "What is Mrs. Wang looking for me?"

Wang Yeqing's expression became more cautious, and said, "It's almost time to arrive at Vermilion Bird City, and I haven't found anyone who is hidden yet." ”

"Hidden Eye-Seeker?" Mu Qing's eyes moved, "When did it start?"

"Hmm. Wang Yeqing nodded and said: "You may not know, assassins like me and Butcher Hu on the heavenly list, our movements are bound to attract hidden eyes, and every time we cross a state, there will be new hidden people one after another, which is also Murong Yin's most powerful source of information." ”

Mu Qing's mind came to the people on the Three Immortals Island, and he guessed, "Could someone secretly do it for us?"

Wang Yeqing should have considered this possibility a long time ago, and shook his head categorically: "You have to understand that the two people of the Lantai family can't make a move easily, and it has something to do with their own status and identity. ”

"In addition, those people who are hidden are all masters who are good at tracking and probing, with a smart personality, and they know how to protect themselves when they encounter unknown dangers, even if they are in Qingchuan Pass, most of them are cautious and do not monitor, but when they arrive in Youyan Prefecture, there is no obstacle at all, and it shouldn't be like this. ”

"That's because you didn't know there was a black-robed man behind it. Mu Qing had this possibility in his heart, but after thinking about it, he looked at those people as if he were like himself, I was afraid that they were all ants in front of Ye Yun and her father, and the other party probably didn't care, let alone be so kind to solve these people for him.

"What speculation does Madam Wang have?" asked Mu Qing honestly.

Wang Yeqing frowned and muttered: "I have broken through the first product now, my spiritual sense is slowly transforming, and the range of perception is much larger, and I still haven't found those people who are hidden in the hidden vision, and there is a higher realm than me in the hidden vision, I don't know, but I feel that those people are not monitoring me." ”

Mu Qing's heart moved, "It only started from Youyan Prefecture, and the hidden vision is the eyes of the palm law, what happened?"

When Mu Qing raised his eyes, he happened to meet Wang Yeqing's penetrating gaze, Wang Yeqing nodded and said: "I guess, there should be something very important happening, the location may be in Youyan Prefecture, or even Tiannan Swamp Forest, Murong Yin took back his eyeliner in Youyan Prefecture." ”

Mu Qing's heart was touched, and his eyes gradually brightened, behind every independent state of affairs, there was a seemingly random cause and effect relationship.

"Those conspiracies and calculations before involved the Quanfu and the Assassins, and the Palm Law Pulse has been withdrawing from the matter, but now this is finally going to intervene?

"From Lin Pan, it can be inferred that Tianjia went to Tiannan, it should be for Bai Jiahe and them. ”

"If Tianjia wants to use this to move the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, what do the two veins of Quanfu and the Assassins think? Is this just to eliminate the remnants, or is it to take the opportunity to take the first step to occupy Tiannan?"

Mu Qing felt that he was getting closer and closer to a certain answer, his eyes were slightly bright, and he sighed: "I have a feeling that Tiannan is going to be in chaos. ”

Tiannan has always been very chaotic, but Wang Yeqing heard the meaning of Mu Qing's words, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Murong Yin sometimes gives people the feeling that he is old and careless, and he is a sick tiger who dozes off all day long, but some people may not understand that a sick tiger is also a tiger. ”

Wang Yeqing looked straight at Mu Qing and warned: "If the chaos really spreads a lot, don't get involved." ”

She had a hunch that Mu Qing was in such a hurry to return to her senses, which was related to this.

Mu Qing shook his head and smiled: "This may be our random speculation, Mrs. Wang, don't worry, my strength is not enough in front of those people, what can I do?"

"If the center of the storm is Wanhua Valley, what is the situation, what can I do then?" Mu Qing's heart was still fermenting, but he didn't announce it, although Wang Yeqing had been promoted to the early stage of transcendence, but if something really happened to Wanhua Valley, he didn't want to involve the other party.

Mu Qing looked at the woman on the side and said, "Mrs. Wang, this should be a good opportunity for us. ”

He turned to look behind him, beside the bonfire not far away, the rabbit meat had been roasted to golden oil, Wang Xiu rolled up his sleeves slightly, and was handing the rabbit leg to Liu Yueshan, seeing Mu Qing's eyes, he hurriedly gave a thumbs up, Mu Qing smiled, "Without the annoying surveillance, Madame should be able to hide them." ”

Wang Yeqing also saw this scene, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and there was a relaxed smile on his face, and said: "Even if there is eyeliner, I want to hide a few people, it's no problem, and now I can naturally do better." ”

This is the only good thing I've heard in the past few days, Mu Qing let out a breath of turbidity, "When we enter the city tomorrow, we will act separately, Madame has no opinion." ”

"You are more cautious than I thought, it seems that the old guy of the butcher has a good eye" Wang Yeqing glanced at Mu Qing, and said while walking towards the bonfire: "Liu Yueshan, they will be handed over to me, if you want to act alone, don't go to them during this time, I will arrange it and completely dilute their relationship with you and me, and when the time comes, if you want to contact me, go to the old courtyard in the city, and find Mei Xiaozhu's Tan'er." ”

Mu Qingjian raised his eyebrows lightly, and at this time, he realized the comfort of having a good helper, and hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, wait a minute, I'll catch a few more rabbits." ”

......

......

Suzaku City, on the south bank of the Cheonggye River.

At the beginning, the willow drew a lot, the willow leaves stretched, the branches drooped, the Qingxi River had nine curves, the meandering did not see the end, and the willow on the bank was like a beautiful man's vine branches.

Near noon, Mu Qing had just crossed the Yiqi Bridge and walked to Qingyun Street.

At this time, the scholar of the visitor has been scarce, he looks back and sweeps away at will, on the sparkling water, the clear sky hangs upside down, occasionally a few willows are eager for the sky, caress the water surface, then get the azure color as a companion, the water light and the sky light will fall to the near place, a piece of green.

Although the scenery is beautiful, the heart is not quiet. Mu Qing secretly said that it was a pity, and walked straight to the Liuye Bookstore at the end of the street.

The narrow wooden door that only allowed one person to pass through was not closed tightly, there was no one inside, Mu Qing did not push the door directly in, after three long and four short knocks, the footsteps were close, the door was opened, and a cold breath came to the face.

"Rare guest. Li Cheng was holding a bowl of rice in his hand, his eyelids shrunk, and after glancing Mu Qing up and down, he didn't take the willow leaves that Mu Qing put in front of them, and said calmly and coldly: "Come in." ”

Mu Qing was not directly led into the small black house this time, and walked through the patio to the left to the place where he ate.

There was only one person in the house, Chen Xun, the archdeacon of the Quanfu lineage, his entire fat body was packed in a small Huanghuali circle chair, he had just shaved a big mouthful of rice with a piece of braised pork, and when he saw Mu Qing behind Li Cheng, he said vaguely: "Li Cheng, add chopsticks to him, this braised pork tastes very good today." ”

"No need. Mu Qing shook his head, and Li Cheng nodded at him, with a little kindness on his face, it seemed that he didn't want to move.

Chen Xun had the appearance of a storm when he ate, and it seemed that he didn't plan to take any more useless steps this time to wear down Mu Qing's patience.

Taking a sip of hot tea, he said straight to the point: "You have done a good job in your first task and proved your worth." The information on Lu Fei's side has been summarized. ”

Mu Qing nodded and muttered, "I came to find Deacon Chen for two things. ”

"One, this new task I have taken, I need more information about the mission objectives. ”

"Second, I want to go back to Tiannan to lie down first. ”

Chen Xun habitually tapped his fingers on the table, and said lightly: "The task has changed, you can change it again." ”

"What do you mean?" Mu Qing was vigilant in his heart.

Chen Xun said straight to the point: "Your kid has good ability, you can be promoted to the third rank on the way, and you also killed Yue Jiu, who is the third on the ground list, you deacon of the assassin lineage are more optimistic about you, and I don't want you to waste your energy on those low-level tasks in vain, you have other uses now." ”

"Deacon, who is it?" Mu Qing didn't think he had such a good popularity.

"The assassin lineage is different from my Quanfu, there is only one deacon, his name is Jiang Shangxiu, you shouldn't know, right?" Chen Xun had a teasing smile on his face.

Jiang Shangxiu is Jiang Xingyuan's righteous son, how can the other party have any good intentions, Mu Qingjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his mind was racing, "Since it is waiting, can I go back to the Hidden Valley?"
