Chapter 87: A Parting Message
There are no trivial things in the world, ordinary things, there is a cause and effect relationship behind any thing, and even the hidden truth that is not known to outsiders, never think that everything you see is what you see, maybe what you see is just a shadow, a shadow that others want you to see.
Unintentionally looking at Murong Xue, who was laughing and playing, like a child, there was a trace of envy in his heart, because that kind of love between relatives and relatives he had not had for a long time, or it had never been in his memory. He didn't know what it was like, he hadn't felt anything before, but the more he was in it, the more he longed to have it.
This feeling made Wuxin very uncomfortable, no longer disturbing the reunion of other people's brothers and sisters, walked out of the inn alone, walked slowly in the crowd, looked at the unfamiliar faces coming and going, and finally calmed down a lot, he was still used to such loneliness, not to like it, but to have no choice, destined.
Just as he was wandering aimlessly on the street, a man with a déjà vu walked up to him, stuffed him with a note casually, didn't speak, and then passed by Wuxin directly and disappeared into the crowd. Wuxin tried to recall it in his mind, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person, but he probably guessed where this person came from.
Sure enough, he guessed right. When he opened the note, there were a few lines written on it, signed by Xia Haitang, the leader of the Snake Gang. I saw that the note read: The treasure has been recovered, presumably His Majesty is about to leave, in order to show the refreshment of His Majesty's commitment, I hereby present a clue, the Dragon City Twin Monsters were hired by someone in Xuanzhou City, the way is unknown, I hope it will help Your Majesty, and there will be a period later. This is Xia Haitang's parting message to Wuxin, which is very important to Wuxin.
Seeing these lines, Wuxin frowned. He really didn't expect that a simple treasure theft would be instigated by someone behind the scenes, which he didn't expect.
Xia Haitang didn't say who hired the two monsters of Dragon City, only said that this person was in Xuanzhou City, and he couldn't guess the identity of the other party without intention, but when it came to what happened in the Desert Inn, he expected that it should be inseparable from Red Feather, but if it was Red Feather, then why did they want to take away the Golden Silk Armor from Murong Xue several times, maybe not just because the Golden Silk Armor was priceless and invulnerable. Perhaps, Red Feather's real goal is himself, but the specific purpose is unknown.
Walking and walking, Wuxin suddenly found that he had walked to the inn where he stayed when he came to Dragon City last time, but now it has gradually withered, and there are no guests, probably because there have been dead people here before, although Nangong Chu disposed of the corpse for the first time at that time, but the death of people here is finally known to everyone.
I couldn't help but think of the situation at that time, in order to deal with him, the enemy actually kidnapped Lin Xuan, and wanted to use Lin Xuan to threaten himself to submit, which almost made a big mistake.
Red Feather tried to attack himself many times but was unsuccessful, and slowly began to deal with the people around him, which was the most worrying and unwanted, and it was also the last thing he wanted to happen, which was why he chose to leave the Phantom City alone, he didn't want to put the people around him in danger because of himself.
But I don't want to understand, I can't hide from it, who I care about the most, Hongyu will find out slowly, and maybe even know it now, but it hasn't reached that point yet, but if you can't kill yourself, the enemy will target your side sooner or later, and that is unintentionally not allowed to happen.
The only thing that can prevent this from happening is to settle this grudge with Red Feather in the shortest possible time. Thinking of this, he unintentionally stopped, and began to turn around and walk back, how strong Red Feather's power is still unknown, and there are still too many things to do, so there is no time to waste here.
After returning to the inn, Murong Xue and Murong Baili had already packed their luggage and waited at the door of the inn. After Long Chengshuang's trouble, Murong Xue was no longer in the mood to play, and planned to leave for Jiangcheng, but Murong Baili seemed to be in a hurry, and did not plan to stay longer.
This was exactly what Wuxin wanted, and he originally planned to say goodbye, but Murong Xue strongly asked Wuxin to go to Jiangcheng with him, claiming that she wanted her father to thank Wuxin in person for escorting him all the way from the desert to Dragon City. Murong Baili also said that before leaving, Murong Qianhe specially told him to be sure to invite Wuxin to Dragon City for a while. Unintentionally, I had no choice but to agree.
This time, Wuxin did not ride a horse, but sat in the carriage with the Murong brothers and sisters. Along the way, Murong Xue has been talking about interesting things that happened to her and her brother when she was a child, laughing, tears, and almost telling everything she has done since she was a child, listening quietly without intention, nodding her head constantly, trying to make herself look less boring.
During this period, when it came to the rise, the three of them looked at each other from time to time, and they had no intention of being happy that Murong Xue had such an older brother, and they also admired Murong Baili for loving his unrelated sister like this.
However, there were a few moments when he unintentionally found that Murong Baili did not seem to be as happy as he seemed on the surface, and there was always a slight trace of dissatisfaction and even resentment in his eyes. From time to time, they would divert the topic and talk about something else, but after chatting, Murong Xue returned to her own affairs, and Murong Baili's dissatisfaction and resentment seemed to be even stronger.
The long road is long, I don't know how long they walked, at night, they finally returned to Jiangcheng, Murong Qianhe had already led people to wait outside the door of Murong Mansion, and they were very relieved to see the three of them returning, with a smile on their faces.
The first moment Murong Qianhe saw Wuxin, he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you Wuxin Shaoxia for taking the trouble to personally escort the little girl for many days, this girl must have caused you a lot of trouble." "The gratitude is palpable, and the attitude is sincere.
Wuxin shook his head and said slowly: "The seniors laughed, the trust of friends should be like this, since the seniors have spoken, how can they refuse." ”
Murong Qianhe was stunned for a moment when he heard Wuxin's words, and said suspiciously: "The old man didn't understand the words of the young man for a while, what is the trust of your friend you are talking about?"
Seeing Murong Qianhe's doubts, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and said slowly: "Didn't you ask Ling Yan to go to Gusu City to find me and ask me to escort Ling Yan to the desert?"
Murong Qianhe looked dazed, and said suspiciously: "No, I originally wanted her to wait for her eldest brother to come back and go together, but this girl sneaked away by herself..."
But Murong Xue had already run into the mansion and disappeared. Murong Qianhe sighed, looked at Wuxin with a little apology, and expressed helplessness.
"It's fine. Wuxin shook his head and said with a chuckle. Now it is certain that Murong Xue secretly ran out and asked to go to the desert unintentionally in the name of Murong Qianhe without permission, maybe knowing that this matter would be revealed as soon as he returned to Jiangcheng, so he just said hello to Murong Qianhe and slipped directly into the courtyard.
After a short rest, Murong Qianhe ordered someone to prepare a banquet, one was to celebrate the reunion of the family, and the other was to express gratitude to Wuxin, and also to apologize to Murong Xue for deceiving Wuxin. A sumptuous meal, watching it makes the mouth water, and I don't want to have a decent meal for a long time.
During the banquet, he glanced at Murong Qianhe unintentionally, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "I heard that Ling Gongzi said that you asked him to go to answer Ling Yan?"
Murong Qianhe nodded, and said slowly: "That's right, at first, I didn't know that this girl actually went to look for you, thinking that she went to the desert alone, so I ordered someone to fly the pigeon to pass the book to Baili, and asked him to rush to the desert to respond. ”
"Dad!" Murong Xuejiao snorted, as if she was a little unhappy with her father saying this, she kept a straight face, glanced at Wuxin, and her face was slightly red, causing Murong Qianhe to shake her head and smile bitterly.
"But it was too late when I arrived, thanks to Brother Wuxin's help, my little sister was spared, and Murong Baili thanked me here. At this time, Murong Baili also spoke, and raised his wine glass to signal that he wanted to drink with Wuxin.
Wuxin shook his head and said slowly: "It's serious, but I never drink alcohol, so I have to replace wine with tea." As he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea, signaled to Murong Baili, and drank it all.
According to what Murong Qianhe said, Murong Baili did not return to Jiangcheng, but went directly to pick him up, so why didn't he appear in the desert for a long time, but how could he appear in Dragon City so coincidentally afterwards, he happened to miss the melee in the desert and the twin monsters in Dragon City, and it was too late and too coincidental.
"Then how can I do it, Brother Wuxin has helped so much, I must be thankful, how can I replace wine with tea, besides, today is the first time you and I have sat at the same table, why do you have to drink something, unless you don't look down on me Murong Baili." Murong Baili said with a smile on his face, as if he had to drink a glass of wine with Wuxin to express his gratitude.
"I don't really drink. Wuxin still refused lightly, not because he was hypocritical, but because Wuxin had made up his mind not to drink again since that time in Crescent Town, and he hadn't drunk it since, and he had only drunk it once.
But Murong Baili still didn't give up, although his attitude was sincere and smiling, he had to have a drink without intention to give up.
"Baili, okay, since people never drink, then you don't have to force people to make it difficult, and it's the same with tea. Murong Qianhe spoke at this time, signaling Murong Baili not to be difficult, he seemed to have never seen his righteous son so stubborn as today.
"That's it, if people can't drink it, don't force others, if you really want to drink, I'll drink it with you. Murong Xue also stood up at this time to speak for Wuxin, and picked up a glass of wine and signaled to Murong Baili.
Murong Baili smiled and waved his hand, raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup that he had served for a long time, but his smile was slightly embarrassed and reluctant. Immediately after that, he drank several glasses in a row, and his face seemed to be a little unhappy.
Murong Qianhe and Murong Xue didn't say anything more, they kept greeting Wuxin to eat, during which Murong Xue was talking about interesting things that happened to her in Wuxin's ear, and kept covering her mouth and chuckling, just like in the carriage, she sat next to Wuxin again, chattering as if she had forgotten her father and brother beside her.
But he unintentionally noticed Murong Baili's reaction, and saw that his face was getting worse and worse, and he had been drinking the wine silently, and the food did not move a few times.
Murong Qianhe looked at his daughter and Wuxin talking and laughing, as if he realized something, and then looked at Murong Baili, who was drinking alone, unconsciously, and sighed softly.
In fact, he had seen a long time ago that Murong Baili's feelings for his sister were not ordinary, so he had hinted at Murong Baili in private, but judging from the current situation, his hints didn't seem to have the slightest effect, and he couldn't help but start worrying and fell into deep thought.
A dinner party that did not go well finally ended, everyone went back to their respective rooms, and after running around for several days, everyone was tired, only Murong Qianhe stayed alone in the study, and the lights were still on in the middle of the night.
After returning to the guest room, he didn't rest, but sat at the table and thought about what had happened in the past few days, as well as the doubts that appeared everywhere, as well as Murong Baili's incomprehensible reaction, and he fell into deep thought.
Unconsciously, he felt that staying here did not seem easy, but there were more and more mysteries, thinking that he should go, leave here, and do what he should do, after all, this is not a place for him to stay for a long time, there are still many things waiting to be done by himself, as for those mysteries, he believes that there will always be a day when they will be revealed.
The night was getting deeper, and Murong Mansion fell into a quiet, and the light in Murong Qianhe's study had already been extinguished, and he had probably fallen asleep.
At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out of a room, swept over the wall, and disappeared into the night, which was the guest room where he had no intention of staying......
