The emperor also wanted to reward the two of them, but Mu Ning listened to it, insisted on not accepting it, and said: "Your Majesty, money is something outside the body, and it is even more useless for us cultivators. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In fact, Zhou Shaobai really wanted to receive some rewards as a coil, but Mu Ningzhi opened his mouth first, and he had to reluctantly nod yes.

Seeing this, the emperor didn't hesitate, he thought for a while, ordered the personal eunuch to take out two gold medals, handed them to the two of them, and said, "Since you don't want to reward them, then accept these two gold medals." If you want to enter the palace to see me, you can enter the palace with this gold medal. In addition, when the local officials see this gold medal, you can save a lot of trouble. ”

Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart, this thing is really good, if he runs out of money on the road in the future, he will take this gold medal and go to the nearby yamen to ask for a dozen taels of silver, and ask them to put the account on the emperor's head.

So Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ning thanked the emperor together, and at this time a eunuch came to report, and the emperor listened to his secret music, nodded incessantly, and then said, "I know." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Shaobai thought that during this period of time, the emperor must be very busy, and it is not appropriate to disturb him too much, so he glanced at Mu Ningzhi, she understood, so she immediately thanked him and went out of the Guangming Palace.

The two of them walked on the avenue in the palace, only to see three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which were Huwei battalion armor soldiers parading.

It turned out that the emperor was worried that there were still eunuch remnants hiding in the palace, so he asked Chen Xuance to still impose martial law inside and outside the palace in the capital to strictly investigate the eunuchs. In addition, there are many eunuchs who are not eunuchs, and under the supervision of the armor soldiers, the corpses left behind after the last night's battle are carried away in carts, wiped the bloodstains, and restored the palace and the palace to its original state.

Mu Ningzhi suddenly stopped, looked towards the imperial garden, Zhou Shaobai also stopped, and took a look, only to see the huge imperial garden, but it was desolate and bleak, full of black ash and embers, it turned out that those strange flowers and plants were all destroyed in a fire last night.

Mu Ning sighed in her heart, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, when I came to this palace, I haven't seen the appearance of the imperial garden, but it has become like this." ”

As soon as he heard that Mu Ningzhi finally spoke, Zhou Shaobai hurriedly said: "The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." Although those flowers and plants have turned to ashes, they have added a lot of fertility to the land, and in the spring of the next year, it will definitely be a vibrant flower landscape. ”

Mu Ning was stunned, but secretly said in her heart: The wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows...... I thought that after a fire was burned clean, I could finally return to the mountain to cultivate the Tao calmly, but why did he suddenly appear last night to save me, but his heart beat like a drum? Mu Ningzhi, you are really not angry......

Thinking of this section, Mu Ningzhi couldn't help but feel sad, she only said that her heart was still too weak, and her heart that had been firm with great difficulty was so easily shaken.

Seeing that Mu Ningzhi's complexion changed, Zhou Shaobai said: "You like flowers so much, after we return to the mountain after completing our master's order, I will go to Danxia Peak and plant many, many snow moon flowers that you like outside your room." Let them stay with you every day, okay?"

Mu Ningzhi's heart trembled suddenly, and Sakura's lips twitched a few times, but she didn't say anything.

Zhou Shaobai said again: "I know that you have been angry with me for Liu Ruyan. In fact, when I was in the Liang Mansion, the truth was not what you see, and I didn't think anything else about her......"

"Say no more. Mu Ningzhi suddenly pouted angrily, "What does what you said have to do with me?" I don't want to hear it. ”

She was so confused that she turned around and left, where was Zhou Shaobai willing to let her go away, and followed and said softly: "You are obviously still angry with me, how can you say that it doesn't matter?"

Mu Ningzhi glared at him and said, "Gongzi Zhou, I know that you like to provoke girls, and you will provoke whoever you like, but please don't provoke me again." When I find my biological parents, I will go back to the mountains to retreat and concentrate on purification, and I will not pay attention to other things. ”

Zhou Shaobai listened, and said in his heart, Okay, you said it yourself, so if I persuade you again, I won't be afraid that you will blame Liu Ruyan for leaking your mouth.

So he said, "Retreat, are you going to practice for a few months?"

Mu Ningzhi snorted lightly and said, "When I return to the mountain to retreat and cultivate this time, I will not go out of the realm of opening the heavens." ”

Zhou Shaobai was taken aback: "Then you have to repair for decades?"

Mu Ningzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but even if you cultivate for decades, what's the matter?"

Zhou Shaobai sighed and said, "Do you know, the Snow Moon Flower generally only has a ten-year lifespan in Middle-earth, and it will not bloom for the first three years after planting. If you really want to concentrate on retreat and practice, and wait until the Snow Moon Flower has died of old age for decades, you can see their stumps, and you won't see them for the seven flowering periods, then I feel sad and sad for this flower......

Mu Ning was stunned, looked back at the black and gray imperial garden, and somehow, there were many inexplicable sorrows in his heart.

"Miss Mu, although diligence and talent are very important in cultivating the Tao, if there is no chance, you just blindly ask for it, and you may not be able to get your wish. In the realm of opening the heavens, do you have to retreat to cultivate? Why let yourself live a good life with only a few stone walls as companions?" Zhou Shaobai sighed faintly.

Mu Ningzhi blinked when she heard this, and her heart didn't feel warm: "You said so much, could it be that you care about me?"

Zhou Shaobai immediately nodded and said, "If I didn't care about you, this huge palace, I wouldn't have been able to sense your aura on the periphery last night." ”

Mu Ningzhi's eyes twitched slightly, and he fell silent, Zhou Shaobai said in his heart: It seems that it has finally achieved some results.

"Well, I'll take your word for it. After a long time, Mu Ningzhi raised her head and said, in fact, since Zhou Shaobai suddenly appeared last night and saved her life, her heart is no longer so firm.

Zhou Shaobai smiled, looked into her eyes and said, "What I said is not nonsense." ”

"Less poor mouth. Mu Ningzhi avoided his gaze, and somehow, his heart was a little panicked. She suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, now you and I have nothing to do, you accompany me to a place." ”

Zhou Shaobai said: "Where to go?"

"Splendid Palace. ”

Mu Ningzhi bit his lip slightly.

It turned out that last night, she finally asked the exact location of the Splendid Palace, and now she found that it was not far from the Splendid Palace, although she had known that the Splendid Palace had been uninhabited for many years, but Mu Ningzhi still wanted to go and see it.

On the way to the Splendid Palace, they met several waves of parade armor, and after showing the royal gold medal, the armorers hurriedly knelt down and let them go.

Zhou Shaobai happily put away the gold medal and said, "This is really a good thing, but you have to put it away carefully, you must not lose it." (To be continued.) )
