Chapter Twenty-Four: The Visit of Hades
The Hades King turned around, his eyes were like torches, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, and he said coldly: "This Styx Divine Monarch is very idle when he comes to the mortal world!"
Hades' sudden visit was another sneer, and Quimon knew that the Hades had not come well. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised politely, and he did not answer.
The Hades King said straight to the point: "King Kui! You should know that Xue'er is Mu Fan's fiancée, if you are really idle in the world, you can do something to eliminate harm for the people." There's Mu Fan! Xue'er still doesn't bother. You are a Styx Divine Monarch, are you going to rob your fiancée with a junior!"
"Taking advantage of people's danger like this is really not the work of an ancient god king. This marriage between Mu Fan and Xue'er is defined by the three heavens, spirits, and underworlds, and it is better for the Divine Monarch not to destroy his future!"
Quimon's face froze, but he still didn't respond.
Hades woke up Quemon's sneer, which was very sharp.
Even though he was angry, and Kuimon remained silent under all kinds of humiliation, he really felt bored and said coldly: "Hmph!"
Kuimeng stood in the courtyard and clenched his fists tightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled coldly for a long time, and in the secret Su Xin was even more angry and very unconvinced.
Quimon's heart was depressed, and what he cared about was not such a humiliation from Hades, but the words of Hades pierced his heart like a sharp sword. A thousand years ago, because of his identity as a god monarch, he was afraid of being criticized by the Three Realms and had been holding back his feelings for Hongxue. can only pretend to be a fairy child with a worrying identity, and approach Hongxue darkly and selfishly.
Hongxue wants to save Yao Ji, all he can do is deliberately relax and let Hongxue escape, she can't put everything aside like Mu Fan, and attack the heavenly realm with Hongxue. He has never been able to let go of the face and pride of the Divine Monarch. He was even envious and jealous of Mu Fanke's desperation. Until the red snow fell into the mortal world, he never showed his intentions. When he met Hongxue again, he was already deeply trapped, and even secretly and selfishly thought that Mu Fan, who had not shown up for thousands of years, had been wiped out. Today's words reminded him again that he was just thinking about it. He can't change Hongxue's identity, and he can't change the marriage under the three definitions.
Kuimeng was hurt and drunk, but he was just sad about drinking!
The drunken Quimon leaned on the table with one hand on his forehead, his eyes full of sadness and resentment.
At this time, Su Xin, who had been holding back for a day, came in from outside the door with tea, and when he saw the frustrated and lonely King Kui, he couldn't help but say:
"King Kui, how can you let the Hades humiliate you like this today, although the Styx belongs to the underworld, according to the rules, let him be a little polite, and respect him Hades!
Kuimeng's drunken eyes blurred and the corners of his mouth laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hmph... Humiliation! What he said is true, how can he be humiliated! It's just that I brought humiliation on myself!"
Su Xin was unconvinced and said: "Then the Hades King, can you know, if it weren't for King Kui, you found the three souls and seven spirits scattered by the six red snows, and went to ask Bixia Yuanjun, could she be reincarnated as a human being?
Kuimeng said lightly: "These are all things I am willing to do, and this is the only thing I can do for Xue'er!"
Su Xin said angrily: "King Kui, why are you so troubled! Don't say that the Red Snow Maiden doesn't know, even if she knows, what! How could she go against the arrangement of the three worlds of heaven, underworld, and spirit to choose King Kui, she has her childhood sweetheart Mu Fan in her heart! King Kui is just letting the Three Realms criticize and self-destruct her future!"
The slightly drunk Kuimeng instantly sobered up, and a trace of fierceness flashed at Su Xin in his cold eyes, and he said coldly: "I order you to disappear in front of me immediately!"
Su Xin was reluctant to speak, but Kuimeng interrupted: "Get out!"
Su Xin saw that Kuimeng was really angry, so he had to retreat helplessly.
There is a dragon pond in Yanzhou City, and according to legend, there is a giant catfish in the dragon pond, which is good in nature and has appeared many times to save children who have fallen into the water.
Later, when the giant catfish suffered a catastrophe, the ancestors of the Mu family helped to escape the catastrophe and turned into a dragon, and the giant catfish spit out the divine bead in the body to give it to the Mu family in order to repay the favor, and promised that if there is a request in the future, as long as it is summoned with this bead, it will definitely appear to rescue.
Since the dragon is here, this city has been peaceful for a hundred years. In order to thank the dragon for spontaneous offerings, the people renamed it Shenlong Pond for their real body, and the Mu family passed this bead as a token of the dragon from generation to generation, guarding the Shenlong Pond.
The old lord Cheng Mu Yuan has two sons, the eldest Mu Duan was born to the city lord's wife, and he is insidious and ruthless. The second child is called Mu Xiang was born to the concubine Lu Yao, because Lu Yao was considered an alien and threw into the Shenlong Pond to feed the dragon, causing Mu Xiang to be discriminated against and bullied since he was a child. Although it is rumored that Mu Xiang was born of an alien, the old city lord cherished Mu Xiang very much, and originally intended to pass on the position of city lord to Mu Xiang, but Mu Xiang was cold and arrogant, and he kept himself and everything in the city out of the matter.
Today, the old city lord is 70 years old, and the lights are lit up at the door, and the magnates of the city are really lively.
During the banquet, the old city lord sat on the main seat, and two seats were placed on both sides of the main seat, which was naturally reserved for the two sons.
The eldest prince sat on the left side, while the position on the right side was empty. The guests under the main seat also sit in two rows on the left and right.
After a while, a scholar who looked like fifteen or sixteen came in and whispered something in Mu Duan's ear. I saw Mu Duan's expression smile maliciously, and motioned for the scholar to step back.
During the banquet, a man of about fifty years old looked restrained and steady. The unfathomable color that occasionally crossed his eyes added a sense of depth. This man's name is Zhao Sheng, and he is Muduan's uncle, and he is a traitor with Muduan.
Mu Duan gave Zhao Sheng a meaningful look, after many years of embarrassment, Zhao Sheng immediately understood Mu Duan's deep meaning.
got up and said, "Old city lord, this second son, Mu Xiang, must not come as in previous years. This auspicious time can't be delayed! Why don't we have a banquet!"
Mu Yuan's face sank, and he turned to smile and said, "Why don't you wait, this Xiang'er has always been playful, maybe the road is delayed!"
Mu Duanben's smug face instantly became gloomy and said, "Father! ”
Mu Yuan looked ugly and embarrassed: "Okay! Okay...!Since Xiang'er has something, don't wait!"
Mu Duan saw that Mu Xiang was so disobedient and unfilial, and his father was still very resentful. He gave Zhao Sheng another look.
Zhao Sheng got up and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression: "This Mu Xiang is really a big rebel on weekdays, but today is the birthday of the old city lord." This kid is too disobedient and unfilial!"
As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, all his henchmen echoed it, and in an instant, public opinion rose and said: "Yes! ”
"This alien student just has no rules, he shouldn't have been born in the first place, and I don't know what this city lord thinks, so he has to keep him!"
"Hey, I've heard that these two sons are arrogant and rude, but I didn't expect to be so disloyal and unfilial. ”
That's it, you and I are making a fuss.
Mu Rui looked at the commotion in the audience and smiled very proudly.
Mu Yuan watched the audience rush up, and couldn't help but be angry, "Ahem, cough, cough..." Mu Yuan's face was suffocated.
The old servant of the city lord hurriedly helped Mu Yuan pat his back and said, "City lord, don't be angry, pay attention to your body!"
As soon as the people in the audience saw that the old city lord was sick, they immediately shut up and stood up and looked at Mu Yuan to show their concern.
Mu Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, panting and said, "I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting, Xiang'er was ordered by me to go to Jiangnan to chase a batch of goods, and there was a delay on the way." When Xiang'er comes back to make amends to you, I salute you with this glass of wine. Mu Yuan said, raised his wine glass and drank it all.
When everyone saw the old city lord say this, they were embarrassed to talk about anything, and they were afraid that if they said that the city lord had a good or bad thing, the sin would be great. They all picked up their glasses and drank them all.
At the beginning of the banquet, the drums in the city lord's mansion sounded in unison, singing and dancing, everyone was in high spirits, and the fragrance of wine was overflowing.
Mu Rui watched the old city lord defend Mu Xiang like this, and clenched his fists indignantly in his heart, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Hongxue walked down the street with the sound of drums, looking at a luxurious mansion with red vermilion lacquer doors lit up.
Hongxue couldn't help but sigh: "What a magnificent house, this house is full of lights, and the drums are singing in unison, it seems that there is a happy event!"
Ziying said: "This is the mansion of the city lord of Yanzhou City, which is naturally magnificent!"
At this time, a dashing and beautiful man was riding a brown BMW, the man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with sideburns like knives, eyes like autumn eyebrows, and white brocade gowns. Side by side beside Hongxue, he looked at the City Lord's Mansion with the surprised appearance of Hongxue.
Hongxue looked at the man, and the man was surprised by Hongxue's appearance, and was stunned for a moment and smiled at Hongxue.
Hongxue also smiled politely at the man.
The man spoke, "Seeing that the girl is very interested in this city lord's mansion?"
Jixiang said: "Who are you, how can you talk to my girl so casually!"
The man looked at Ji Xiang with a disdainful smile, looked at Hongxue and said, "It seems that the girl's entourage is very cautious, if I say more, I'm afraid that these three around you will break me into ten thousand pieces!"
Watching the man leave, Ziying stepped forward and said, "Don't be angry, the girl wants to be a disciple, seeing that the girl is beautiful, she intends to tease." ”
Hongxue said dumbfoundedly, "No, I don't think he's a bad person. As he spoke, he looked at Jixiang and said, "Jixiang! Can you stop being so fierce in the future! People are just saying a word, you see you are scaring people!"
Ji Xiang felt very aggrieved and said: "You have no conscience and blame me, I see that the eyes of the disciple are about to fall, I will teach him what is wrong!"
Hongxue said disapprerovingly: "Is there one? Why didn't I see it!"
Lingxin smiled: "Of course, it's not as exaggerated as Jixiang said, but Sister Xue'er is so beautiful, naturally it is a little coveted!"
Hongxue looked at Ji Xiang and said, "Why does this same thing feel different when it comes out of Lingxin's mouth?"
Ji Xiang was very uncomfortable listening to Hongxue's words, glanced at Lingxin and said: "My mouth is not as good as some people will say, but my heart for Xue'er is absolutely true, unlike some people who have ghosts!"
Lingxin listened to the auspicious words and just smiled slightly.
Hongxue felt that Ji Xiang had spoken a little too much, and said seriously: "Ji Xiang....!"
Ji Xiang Leng "Hmph!" turned his head and didn't speak.
While speaking, Hongxue and his entourage arrived at the Yanzhou Inn in Yanzhou City, which was quite luxurious, and the people who could stay here were all powerful people or past merchants in the city.
Ziying said, "Girl, let's stay here today!"
Hongxue said embarrassedly: "It's not okay!" As she spoke, she subconsciously touched a little silver in her pocket.
Ziying smiled slightly and said, "The girl has ordered someone to arrange this guest room in advance, so the girl can rest assured that she will live." ”
On this trip, they slept in the open for many days, and they have been eating wild fruits and dried food. As soon as he heard such a good thing, he must have looked at Hongxue willingly, although he was embarrassed, but it was difficult to be gracious. The two of them looked at each other and smiled and said, "Then since that's the case, I won't be polite to Kui Gongzi!"
As soon as I arrived at the door of the inn, the shopkeeper greeted me with a smile and said, "Your guest has arrived, Childe, the girl's room has been arranged, please follow me upstairs!"
