Chapter 155: A Late Encounter (2)
"You'll know when you go. Wang Shi said, and then motioned with his eyes to Su Mu to follow.
Su Mu followed Master Wang back and forth in the backstage of the inn, and the place he first passed through was as spacious and bright as the lobby, and there were many people from the Chamber of Commerce walking around talking. Wang Shi came to a corner, closed the screen and curtain, and then tapped lightly on the wall three times, and in a short time a narrow secret door opened in the wall.
Inside the secret door is a long and tortuous dark passage, there is no light in the passage, it is extremely narrow at the beginning, it is only through people, and it is more and more narrow to walk dozens of steps, and it is more and more narrow, and you need to curl up your body to continue to move. At first, Su Mushang was able to maintain a sense of direction, but slowly he gradually lost his direction in the dark, and only knew how to follow Wang Shi's footsteps mechanically.
After walking for a while, Wang Shi's footsteps finally stopped. Su Mu didn't know where he was now, and it felt like he was no longer within the scope of the Four Seas Inn.
"Knock knock" Wang Shi knocked on the wall in the darkness three more times, and after a slow sound of opening the door, a strong light shot in through the crack in the door, and Su Mu, who had adapted to the darkness, was suddenly flashed and couldn't open his eyes.
"Here, come here. Master Wang said, and walked into the door first.
After walking out of the secret passage, Su Mu found that he had come to a garden at this time, and the door of the secret passage was behind a rockery. Walking past the pool in the middle of the garden, the high-walled courtyard not far away looks magnificent.
"Master Wang, this is here?" asked Su Mu curiously.
"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the backyard of the Situ family's mansion. Wang Shi did not hide it, but said generously.
"This entrance is so hidden, doesn't the Situ family have a main entrance?"
"Of course, there is also the main entrance, but it is inconvenient for us to walk. Wang Shi said, "It's almost there, it's in that pavilion." ”
Su Mu's eyes were sharp, and he looked in the direction pointed by Wang Shi, and in the pavilion not far away, there were two women sitting upright at this time. It was still a little far away to see the woman's face, but Su Mu already knew it in his heart.
Every time he took a step forward, a step closer to the pavilion, Su Mu became more and more unable to control his excitement, he didn't need to ask Master Wang, just based on his own strong feeling for no reason, he could conclude that one of the two women in front of him was his Aunt Lingxi.
Finally, the two of them walked the long stone road from the rockery to the pavilion, but in about a few dozen breaths, it seemed that Su Mu had gone through the entire spring, summer, autumn and winter.
"It's coming. Wang Shi said to the two women, and the two women also turned their faces.
Although these two women had delicate and beautiful faces and excellent temperaments, Su Mu still subconsciously judged that the one on the left was Lingxi.
"Auntie?" asked Su Mu cautiously.
"Mu'er. The woman on the left replied, although her voice couldn't hear any waves, but Wang Shi, who was familiar with Lingxi, could feel different emotions from it.
"Is it really you?" Su Mu wanted to confirm whether he was actually dreaming or not.
"It's me," Lingxi replied with a smile, "It's the first time you've seen me, but I'm not, I've long heard from Master Wang that you're taller and more handsome than when you were in Butterfly Valley, and that's true today." ”
"Auntie" Su Mu suddenly had a sour nose, but he still controlled himself and did not lose his temper, although he had an urge to rush into Lingxi's arms at the moment, but he was already an adult, and he had to restrain himself.
The warm atmosphere of the first meeting did not last long, and Lingxi suddenly sighed and said in a low tone.
"Mu'er, you finally came to this capital, although my aunt actually didn't want you to get involved at this time. ”
"Auntie, I heard what Master Wang said, do you have anything to do, is there anything I can do to help?" asked Su Mu eagerly.
"No, Mu'er, you have to promise your aunt, you only need to care about yourself, don't ask anything, don't mix anything, and never mention my existence to anyone again. Lingxi's expression was serious.
"Why is this?" Su Mu was very puzzled, "Could it be that my strength is not enough?" I have worked hard to cultivate all these years, and I have not relaxed for a moment, I will definitely be able to help my aunt!"
"Mu'er, you don't understand, this matter is too dangerous, and it's not something you can get involved in. I haven't been able to save your mother, I must not let you fall into danger again, on the one hand, I can't help but miss you today, on the other hand, I also want to tell you face to face, don't worry about my aunt's affairs anymore, I don't care what Wang Shi told you, I want you to leave it all behind, just care about your game, and leave here immediately after participating in the clan conference. ”
Hearing this, Su Mu glanced at Master Wang suspiciously, but found that Master Wang was just looking at him with a smile and not saying a word.
"Do you hear that, Mu'er, you must promise me!" Lingxi repeated again in a strong tone.
"I know Auntie. ”
"Okay, when you were in Luojing, you lived in the Four Seas Inn, this is Situ Jing, the current head of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, you can call her Aunt Jing, you can come to her for help if there is anything. ”
The woman standing next to Lingxi smiled at Su Muwaner at the right time.
"Okay, my aunt has other things, you also have to carefully prepare for the clan meeting, go back and rest early. Lingxi said, Su Mu saluted to Lingxi, and left with Wang Shi.
"After thinking about meeting for so long, do you have this attitude?" After seeing the figures of Su Mu and Wang Shi disappear, Situ Jing asked, "Originally, didn't you also regard that kid as one of the combat forces that could be trusted?"
"Originally, I thought I had a chance to win, but naturally I had a different mentality. Lingxi looked into the distance and replied, "Now that the situation has changed abruptly, the uncertain factors have suddenly increased, and I am less than fifty percent sure of myself, how can I drag that child into the water?"
"Have you ever thought that maybe that child would want to help you more than to be excluded from protection? ”
"No, I can't. That's the bottom line, absolutely not. ”
"Even if the Blue Ci Lord of the Shadows is on your side, are you so unsure?"
"This matter is really too involved, if it weren't for Lan Ci's intelligence, I wouldn't have known that there were such wolf ambitions hidden in this Tunan country. Lingxi's tone suddenly became intense.
"The spies scattered in various places of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce have also sent news, and it is basically certain that what Lord Lan Ci said is true. Situ Jing said, "If this person's trick really succeeds, I'm afraid that what awaits Tu Nanguo will be a bloody storm." ”
"At that point, even if my plan can succeed, I'm afraid that what I will get will not be what I want. ”
"Don't worry, no matter what, our Situ family will always stand behind you, Your Highness the Eldest Princess. ”
