The morning light slowly opened the curtain, and in this gorgeous and colorful morning, it came to the world with freshness.

By the lakeside, under the willow tree, a tall young girl in a light-colored long skirt was sitting on a blue and white stone block in a daze, she seemed to be worried about something.

"Chili, what do you think will happen if we run away from home and be found out by our grandfather?"

The girl suddenly raised her head, opened a pair of big smart eyes, and seemed to say to the calm lake in front of her.

And standing not far behind her was a little girl dressed as a maid and about her age.

Obviously, this is the girl's personal maid Chili. Chili held a plate of colorful snacks in her hand, and looked at the girl without blinking.

Hearing the girl talking to herself, Chili didn't answer immediately, but turned her head slightly to the side, then rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before responding.

"Miss, I heard that in the early hours of this morning, a letter came from the Western Realm Demon City, it seems that something serious has happened, and now the mansion is discussing emergency countermeasures. So I think you should stay in the house honestly, and if you make the old lady unhappy at this time, don't even think about going out in the future. ”

Although there was a slight immaturity in her voice, Chili's unhurried reply was so natural, as if she was talking to her sister.

A maid usually stands with her head bowed in front of her master, and speaks in a trembling voice. Judging from Chili's words and deeds, this Chili is by no means an ordinary maid.

"Oh, you don't know that I've been sick all the time since I stayed in the house!"

"But you can't run away from home at this time, isn't this causing trouble for the old lady?"

"yes, if you don't leave now, when will you stay, it's a godsend, hahaha. ”

Listening to Chili's words, the girl did not feel depressed, but looked happy.

"Chili, you hurry back and pack your luggage briefly, I'll wait for you at the gate of Beicheng, Miss Ben will take you to the rivers and lakes, haha... ”

The girl got up suddenly, crossed her waist with one hand, patted her chest with the other, and said confidently.

With that, the girl got up and was about to go in the direction of the fence at the edge of the garden.

"Hey, Miss, wait. ”

Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Chili hurriedly stopped her.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

The girl stopped, turned around and asked with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the girl stopped, Chili hurriedly stepped forward, then raised her eyes and carefully swept around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she whispered, "Miss ran away from home at this time, if she was discovered by the old lady, it would be miserable." ”

"You're stupid, since everyone is doing urgent discussions at this time, who cares about us. ”

While speaking, the girl did not forget to gently pat the top of the pepper's head to wake up the pepper.

"Oh..."

Chili held the plate in one hand, and stood in place with the other hand caressing the head that had just been patted by the young lady, watching the girl jump away with a pair of big watery eyes.

......

Muwang's Mansion is the largest and most luxurious mansion in the entire Central Plains Continent. Covers an area of about one-third of the whole Muwang City, the whole mansion is surrounded by two zhang high walls, divided into four gates of east and west, north and south, the four gates are all vermilion lacquer gates, and there is a person high stone lion on both sides of several steps in front of each door.

The buildings in the house are built from north to south, the east is the garden, the west is the training ground, the rockery, woods, lakes and paths in the garden are like a fairyland on earth, the training ground viewing platform is the training platform and the group training area, and the surrounding display is orderly all kinds of weapons.

Enter the house from the south main gate, it is the flat stone avenue that is about two zhang wide, the end of the avenue is hundreds of steps, on the stairs, it is the reception hall with the three characters of "Jihe Palace" written on the lintel, it is said that this hall can accommodate hundreds of people.

Soldiers patrolling the palace wearing guard uniforms printed with the word "Mu", as well as maids and maids can be seen everywhere.

The soldiers were doing their duty, and it seemed to them that it was just the same day as usual.

However, as far as the news came last night, it was like a bolt from the blue for some people in this Mu Wangfu.

"Father, is this news true?"

In the living room, a burly middle-aged man dressed in an ink-colored robe and his hair tied up with a white hosta said to the two old men sitting on the top seats.

These two old men are the city lord and deputy city lord of Mu Wang City, Mu Chenghuang and Mu Chenghui.

Dressed in a white robe with gold silk edges, his hair was so white that it seemed to be glowing naturally, and although his white beard covered most of his wrinkled face, his bright eyes made people feel that he was still old and strong. This person is the city lord Mu Chenghuang.

According to legend, the martial arts cultivation of this Mu Chenghuang has reached the Great Sage Heaven, and in the entire Central Plains Continent, there are no more than five people who can reach this realm.

And the old man with a goatee sitting next to the city lord Mu Chenghuang, wearing a black cloth shirt, a scarf and a hat, and holding a black gloomy wooden staff, is the deputy city lord Mu Chenghui.

Legend has it that although this Mu Chenghui's martial arts cultivation is far inferior to that of his brother Mu Chenghuang, this person is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, knows astronomy, knows geography, can judge the affairs of the house, and can predict the chaos in the world. In general, at the moment of major events in the world, although the city lord Mu Chenghuang is the leader, in fact, Mu Chenghui is the real decision-maker.

The battle with the Demon Sect in Tianma Mountain back then was the strategy offered by Mu Chenghui, and finally succeeded in repelling the evil cultists, and after the war, in order to resist the demon cult's invasion again, he built the demon city wall and established the demon group, all of which were Mu Chenghui's ideas. Therefore, for Mu Wang City and even the entire Central Plains Continent, this person has made a great contribution.

"This letter is printed with the seal of the Great Elder of the Demon Regiment, presumably this letter is also from the hand of Elder Kunde, so the matter of the Yellow Mansion is indeed true. ”

City Lord Mu Chenghuang stroked his beard with one hand, played with the goose egg-sized steel ball in his hand with the other, looked at the middle-aged man and said.

This middle-aged man is Mu Jiaxiong, the son of the city lord Mu Chenghuang, this person is upright, and his eyebrows reveal a breath of righteousness and awe. Not to mention anything else, even from his sturdy body, this person must be a good martial artist.

And sitting next to him is the deputy city lord Mu Chenghui's only son Mu Jiaqiong, this person is tall, although he is in his early forties, but his eyebrows are clear, his face is white, according to legend, this person has lost some characteristics because of the cultivation of a miraculous skill, so it always gives people the feeling of yin and yin.

"In my opinion, it's not that simple. Being able to slaughter the Huang Mansion that was full of masters of the Tiger Hunting Hall overnight was not something one or two people could do. ”

"Besides, this Demon City is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for the Demon Sect to easily infiltrate the city, let alone the number of people who can destroy the entire Tiger Hunting Hall. ”

Mu Jiaqiong gently shook the folding fan with one hand, with a slight feminine air in her voice, and analyzed it clearly.

Qiong'er was right, and Elder Kongde only said in the letter that these people's methods were similar to those of the Demon Sect, and it was not necessarily the Demon Sect's actions. ”

Mu Chenghui, who had been closing his eyes and not saying a word before, sounded his voice at this time

"I think that these people have only one purpose, and that is "Phantom Life Decision", which is said to be a peculiar internal strength cultivation method, which was created by Huang Hongjin's mentor Hong Nanyang, and was taught to Huang Hongjin more than 20 years ago. ”

"However, this "Illusory Life Decision" is not for everyone to cultivate, it has extremely harsh requirements for cultivators, in addition to having a special genius physique, cultivators must achieve retrograde blood in the whole body in the process of cultivation before they can cultivate. ”

"This exercise is divided into ten layers, and every time a cultivator cultivates one layer, it is a qualitative leap, if he can cultivate the ten layers of this "Illusory Life Decision", then this person's cultivation realm can reach the peak of the Little Sage Heaven and even the Great Sage Heaven, that is, as people say, those who become phantom beings will be able to dominate the Central Plains. ”

"But whether this "Phantom Life Decision" is really as magical as the legend, we have no way of knowing, because so far, there are only two people who have practiced this exercise, that is, Huang Hongjin and Hongmen Ancestor Hong Nanyang. But this Huang Hongjin is dead, and Hong Nanyang also disappeared after the battle of Tianma Mountain twenty years ago, so this "Phantom Life Decision" is still a mystery. ”

After speaking, Mu Chenghui set his eyes on Mu Chenghuang, as if waiting for him to make additions.

"But then again, the Huangfu was tragically destroyed, whether it was done by this demon sect or not, it should attract the attention of all sects, send people to find out the truth as soon as possible, find out the murderer, return the deceased to justice, and give the world an explanation. ”

The vicissitudes of life and the powerful voice of the city lord Mu Chenghuang resounded in the entire hall, and between the tone of his speech and his gestures, he showed the demeanor of a king.

"Qiong'er, you have excellent tracking skills, so this matter of finding the murderer will be left to you. ”

After listening to the instructions of the city lord Mu Chenghuang, Mu Jiaqiong hurriedly got up and bowed in response, "The sons and daughters will receive the order, and the sons and daughters will go all out to live up to the emperor's hopes." ”

"There is another matter, send a message to several other major sects, inform them about the slaughter of the Yellow Mansion in the Demon City, and see how they reply. This matter will be handed over to Jiaxiong. ”

"The retainers are commanded. Just as Mu Jiaxiong got up to salute and receive his orders, an old man hurriedly came from outside the hall to the hall.

Seeing that the person who came was Steward He, before he could speak, Mu Chenghuang opened his mouth and asked, "Steward He, what happened to make you anxious to become like this?"

"Tell the city lord, something happened, something happened!"

Steward He hadn't walked to Mu Chenghuang yet, but when he heard the city lord ask, he hurriedly replied.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Bang Jun...... Miss Bang Jun ran away from home!"

"What?

"It is true that in the entire mansion, there is no figure of Miss Bang Jun. ”

Shoot~"Nonsense, this girl is just nonsense. Mu Jiaxiong shot the case and said angrily.

"The father forgave the sins, and blamed the child for teaching his daughter, and spoiled this girl, so the child got up and personally caught the girl back to ask the teacher. ”

"Hey, Jiaxiong doesn't have to make a fuss, this girl has been thinking about going out for a long time, but I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to protect herself after she went out, so I, a grandfather, have never promised her, since she went out this time, it's not bad to let her go to see the outside world. ”

"Brother is right, this kid Bang Jun surrounds our group of old guys all day long, and I guess I'm tired of it, so it's good to let her go out for a walk and relax. And Jiaxiong, you can rest assured, we can send another person to secretly protect Wangjun. ”

As soon as Mu Chenghuang finished speaking, Mu Chenghui on the side also opened his mouth at this time.

However, this is not surprising, this Mu Bangjun is regarded as the pearl of the palm in the entire Mu King City, and the two city lords love him even more and take care of him in every way.

So when Mu Jiaxiong was angry and wanted to arrest Mu Wanjun and come back to Xingshi to ask for the crime, the two old men spoke out to stop it.

After all, they had seen how they were punished by their father Mu Jiaxiong when they made a mistake last time, and they didn't want to see their beloved granddaughter suffer that sin again.

"Where is Yuan Tong, the general of the city protector?"

"The minister is here. ”

Wearing a black armor robe and holding a crescent moon knife, the burly man returned with his hands.

"This king orders you to get up quickly, find out the whereabouts of the eldest lady, and secretly protect her, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"The minister commanded. ”

Out of worry, the city lord Mu Chenghuang gave orders to Yuan Tong almost in one go.

The behavior of the city lord Mu Chenghuang was watched by the dozens of retainers or tenants sitting in the entire hall, but they didn't make a fuss, because they all knew what the reason was.

However, what they never expected was that in order to secretly protect Mu Bangjun, they dispatched the great god Yuan Tong, the general of the city guard.

What kind of existence Yuan Tong is, they are not unclear, in the entire Mu King City, see the city protector Yuan Tong, such as seeing the city lord Mu Chenghuang. Even in the entire Central Plains Continent, Yuan Tong's words are frightening, but they are also palpitating.

"Remember, unless you have to, you can't come forward, I want to see what kind of fame this girl can make. ”

"Understood. ”

After Mu Chenghuang gave the order, Mu Chenghui instructed a little anxiously.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Mu Bangjun was favored by this Mu Chenghuang and Mu Chenghui.

"Perhaps, it's a good choice to let this girl leave for a while. Mu Chenghui stretched his face, thinking to himself in his heart.
