040 Jianghu without a trace (2)

The misty night shrouded the entire land in darkness. Under the dim moonlight, a figure could be seen standing in front of the gate of the Inspector's Mansion. The whole body was wrapped in black clothes. From the figure, it could be seen that she was a woman, but her face was also covered by the black robe hanging from the bamboo hat.

Covered by the gauze, only a pair of clear eyes can be vaguely seen, but even through the black gauze, you can still feel the faint sadness in those eyes.

In the inspector's house, Yan Sang walked quickly to Mu Ziling's study and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Yue wants to see you."

Mu Ziling put down the document and raised her eyes: "Miss Yue? The Yue Qingqing who reported to Yan Ning?"

"Exactly."

"Let her in."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the woman in black appeared in front of Mu Ziling. She slowly took off her bamboo hat, revealing a clear and beautiful face, but she was too pale to look like a living person.

Mu Ziling looked at her for a moment and said, "Are you Yue Qingqing?"

"That's right, the daughter of the people has met the Seventh Prince." Yue Qingqing curtsied.

Mu Ziling said: "No need to be polite, I would also like to thank you for helping Yan Ning find the Shadowless Gate."

Yue Qingqing said: "The women of the people did not help much, and even caused Mr. Yan to be poisoned. It was the women of the people who did not think carefully."

"I wonder why the girl came here this time?"

Yue Qingqing slowly raised her eyes, looked at Mu Ziling with her clear eyes and said, "Zhong Xiaozi has come to Pingjiang and is staying at the Laifu Inn in the west of the city."

Mu Ziling was startled and looked at her. There seemed to be too much hatred, struggle and sorrow in his cool eyes, which made Mu Ziling lose his mind for a moment. Then after a moment, he said: "Why are you here, girl?"

Tips? How can I trust someone I met for the first time?"

Yue Qingqing said calmly: "A trip to the inn, even if it fails, will not do any harm to the prince. The girl is just a prostitute. The prince will not suspect that the girl has set a trap there, right?"

Mu Ziling leaned back on the seat, tapping the desk with her fingers and said: "The girl must tell me why you are helping me? If there is a blood feud with the Wuying Sect, then the girl may be disappointed, and I will not

It’s not about exterminating them.”

"The people's daughter knows," Yue Qingqing said calmly, still expressionlessly, "The prince wants to take over the Shadowless Sect for his own use, and the people's daughter helps the prince because she only wants to ask for the prince, and the people's daughter is sure that this matter will not affect the prince.

It is also beneficial to the prince."

"What's the matter?"

"Kill the King of Korea and support the former crown prince Gu Menglin." A low voice slowly came out of her mouth with hatred.

The corners of Mu Ziling's lips gradually raised, "Who are you?"

"Goryeo, Yue Qing."

When Yue Qingqing walked out of the inspector's house, the night was already deep, the clouds had covered the moonlight, and the street corners in Pingjiang were already dark. It was clearly a cool summer night, but it seemed to be filled with a cold chill. Yue Qingqing slowly

Slowly looking up at the sky, the dark sky is just like the dark road in front of me.

At this moment, a slightly older figure came from behind her, "Oh, it's really you who is communicating with Mu Ziling."

Yue Qingqing's pale face suddenly trembled. She turned around suddenly and looked at Zhong Xiaozi standing in front of her. After a moment, her shocked expression returned to calm, and she softly said: "I'm sorry..."

Zhong Xiaozi sighed: "It's not me you should say sorry to."

Yue Qingqing slowly lowered her eyes, "He? I don't think so."

Zhong Xiaozi shook his head, "Xi'er is still at Mu Ziling's place, where do you put her?"

Yue Qingqing was silent for a moment and said, "If it's Xi'er, I'm afraid Mu Ziling already knows about it."

Zhong Xiaozi looked up to the sky and sighed: "None of these disciples can make me worry." He slowly left, saying as he walked: "It's better to go back to the inn to prepare for the guests."

Yue Qingqing was silent for a moment, and finally followed slowly.

The next day, Mu Ziling came to Laifu Inn alone with a pot of peach blossom wine. He knocked on the door and heard an old voice in the room: "Come in."

Mu Ziling pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that Zhong Xiaozi had already prepared wine and food, he smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you are a master of calculation."

Zhong Xiaozi snorted coldly, "No matter how good you are, you can't compare to you kidnapping my disciple and asking the people around me to work for you."

Mu Ziling said: "Senior, don't blame Miss Yue. I think she also has something to hide. As for Xi'er, I am sincere."

"Just lie to that simple girl with these words of yours, don't tell me."

Mu Ziling smiled helplessly, handed over the peach blossom wine, and said: "I heard that the seniors were having a wedding, and the junior brought the peach blossom wine. Although it is not an old wine, it is also the junior's heartfelt wish."

Zhong Xiaozi snorted again, "It seems that girl has exposed me."

Mu Ziling sat down opposite Zhong Xiaozi, poured wine for him, poured another glass for himself, and said: "Senior, I am sincere. If I have offended you before, I hope you will forgive me."

"Okay, stop these polite words and just get straight to the point. What do you want to do?"

Mu Ziling suddenly stood up, bowed to Zhong Xiaozi, and said, "I sincerely hope that senior can help me."

Zhong Xiaozi raised his glass and drank it all, "What a huge ambition. Do you know who I am?"

Mu Ziling said: "I probably guessed it."

"In this case, you should know that I have retired from the world and am tired of government affairs."

After Mu Ziling was silent for a long time, he said: "But your disciples don't seem to be like this."

Zhong Xiaozi suddenly raised his eyes, like a ray of light shining at him, "Are you trying to use Xi'er to blackmail me?"

Mu Ziling's face did not change and she said calmly: "Junior doesn't dare. It's just that Miss Yue asked junior to help her last night."

"She has nothing to do with Wuyingmen." Zhong Xiaozi said angrily.

Mu Ziling said: "I wonder how Miss Yue escaped from Goryeo? Also, the Prime Minister's Mansion seems to have been looking for Mr. Gu and Miss Lin."

Zhong Xiaozi stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed softly, "Come on, these disciples! I will go with you when you return to Beijing."

Mu Ziling smiled, with uncontrollable joy. He bowed again and said, "Thank you, senior!"

Zhong Xiaozi said coldly: "Don't be too happy too early. I tell you, if you make Xi'er suffer even the slightest injustice, I won't be able to forgive you!"
