"The little thief you talk about is sitting right in front of you."
Mu Cangxuan secretly sneered in his heart, silently noted it down, and looked for an opportunity to send Mu Yi into reincarnation, "It sounds like Marquis Yun has indeed done a good job. But as far as I know, the Secret Shadow Division is now staring at you.
I'm just afraid there's another hidden secret."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yi's face looked a little ugly.
As Mu Cangxuan said, after that incident, several key figures in their branch disappeared one after another, and it was the Secret Shadow Division who led these actions. As a result, their branch was panicked, not to mention the secret business.
Even going out is scary.
"A bunch of haunting lackeys."
Mu Yi cursed angrily, pondered for a moment, and said: "My nephew's guess is right, it's exactly what you said. We set a trap at that time, killed two and captured three alive. It was so happy at the time, who knew
Stirring a hornet's nest, thinking about it afterwards, it was really inappropriate."
"That's it."
Mu Cangxuan's eyes flashed, and he asked: "It's easy to kill him, because he will die, but you captured him alive. With the style of the Secret Shadow Division, how could you not save him? Since you want to save him, you naturally have to find the right person."
Lord, I will not cling to you."
Mu Cangxuan took a sip of tea and asked calmly: "Where is the arrested person?"
"Sold to the Fox Clan."
Mu Yi sighed with some annoyance and said: "The Fox Clan is very interested in the Secret Shadow Guard. I didn't think much about it back then. How could I have known there would be such trouble."
"I'm afraid it's just greed."
Mu Cangxuan sneered in his heart, having already expected this result.
If Ghost Face was still within the Three Prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, he would probably have been rescued by the Secret Shadow Division's methods. Now that there has been no movement after such a long time, he must be in an unusual place, and even the Secret Shadow Division's abilities would not be able to do so.
almost.
"That would be troublesome."
Mu Cangxuan shook his head and said: "Why didn't you kill it at that time and sell it to the Fox Clan afterwards? It was Marquis Yun's suggestion."
"He did mention it."
Mu Yi didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face was a little ugly, and he said: "Marquis Yun suggested that we capture a few alive and give them to the Fox and Wolf clan, and then leave clues to draw the Secret Shadow Division's attention to the two clans.
Clean up the relationship."
"Gao, it sounds reasonable and beneficial to both parties."
Mu Cangxuan smiled while stroking his palms and said: "It's a pity that you are hiding your ears and stealing the bell. The more difficult it is for the Secret Shadow Division to rescue you, the more they will hate you. In this way, you will inevitably be in trouble. At that time, you can only turn around and ask for Marquis Yun's head.
superior."
"The arrogance harms people."
Mu Yi thought for a moment, his face became gloomy, he cursed angrily, and then said: "My dear nephew, I woke up the dreamer with one sentence. Otherwise, I would have been sold by Marquis Yun, and I would have paid for him. Since he is not benevolent, I don't want to
It is my fault that my wise nephew has come to Daoyang Mountain to open his mansion, and we must follow him."
"Haha, Uncle Yi is wise."
Mu Cangxuan laughed loudly and then made a promise.
The meaning is nothing more than to follow him and never let them suffer. From now on, he will be popular and drink spicy food, which will be a hundred times more comfortable than staying in Yunhou Mansion.
Coming from Mu Yi's lineage, Mu Qingxie asked with a smile: "He really didn't realize that Marquis Yun was plotting against them."
"People who are greedy for profit."
Mu Cangxuan sneered and said: "Maybe I didn't see it at the time, but I must have figured it out now, but I just don't want to admit it. Even if I don't point it out and make a little promise, they will follow suit. What is the love of Marquis Yun?
I just want a good price."
"Haha, that's very clear."
Mu Qingxie laughed heartily and became even more satisfied when he saw Mu Cangxuan.
Human nature is treacherous, and as a leader, if you don't have the ability to discern people's hearts, how can you build a new branch of government?
The two of them said goodbye to each other in the house. Mu Cangxuan was thinking about how to rescue Ghost Face while walking towards the princess's palace. He has been busy wooing all parties these days, and he has not seen Qingyuan for several days. It's a bit unreasonable to say that,
After all, I invited someone to use it as a shield. After using it, I threw it away, which is a bit scumbag.
The small courtyard arranged by Yunhou Mansion for Qingyuan was of extremely high standard, with six entrances and six exits, rockery, gardens and lakes. It was rich in aura and even condensed into mist in some places. Compared to his own small courtyard, it was much better.
Mu Cangxuan walked unimpeded to the backyard. Passing by a garden, he saw Qingyuan and two palace ladies playing on the grass in the garden.
Qingyuan was wearing a moon-white palace dress, with bare feet and a smooth calf exposed.
When running, the hem of the skirt flips up, revealing the shapely, slender and tight calves, which are as white as jade, making people endlessly daydream.
The targets that the three were chasing were two rabbits. They had fiery red hair that looked like a ball of flame when they ran. They had icy blue eyes and were pure and cute. They jumped around the feet of the three of them like two puppies.
"Princess, princess, I can't do it. They are too mobile to catch up."
Laurel stopped, bent over and breathing heavily.
This gesture is indeed against the royal etiquette. If the nun in charge of etiquette in the palace saw it in Chang'an City, she would be scolded. However, far away in Yunzhou at this time, the complicated etiquette of the royal family could not control it here.
People are much more lively.
Mu Cangxuan stood in the distance and watched with a smile.
Qingyuan noticed something and looked over. His eyes full of smiles were filled with joy at first. Then the smile on his face faded. He turned his head and no longer looked at Mu Cangxuan. Mu Cangxuan stretched out his right hand halfway, originally intending to hit him.
He said hello and took it back in embarrassment.
This is indeed a bit unreasonable, so I have to admit it.
Mu Cangxuan gritted his teeth and walked over. The two palace ladies quickly saluted, then looked at each other and trotted away without a trace.
The two demon rabbits noticed the stranger approaching, turned into two red lights, and got into Qingyuan's arms.
After Qingyuan hugged her, she stroked her twice, and a few more elixirs appeared in her hands. She doted on the two rabbits and looked extremely happy.
"The rabbit is so beautiful."
Mu Cangxuan looked at the rabbit's head moving comfortably in front of Qingyuan's chest, making a slight wave, and felt a little tasteful in his heart. He thought whether braised in braised sauce or braised in braised sauce was better?
Qingyuan snorted and ignored Mu Cangxuan.
Mu Cangxuan came closer and asked, "What's your name? It's not very red. If it's white, you can call it Jade Rabbit."
"Jade Rabbit?"
Qingyuan suddenly became interested, and seemed to associate a cute rabbit with this name, so he quickly asked: "What kind of rabbit is this? Where can I find it?"
"It is said that there is a temple above the moon called Guanghan Palace. In the palace lives a fairy named Chang'e. Chang'e has a pet, a snow-white rabbit called Jade Rabbit."
"Folktale?"
Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and seemed to have never heard of it before saying, "I saw records in the Holy Religion that Zhenjun once landed on the moon. It was a deserted place, but there were no fairies."
"It's a folktale."
Mu Cangxuan nodded, seeing Qingyuan's interest, and then continued: "It is said that in ancient times, there were nine suns in the sky..."
Mu Cangxuan recounted the story of Chang'e flying to the moon that he had heard in his previous life. Of course, some of the plots had been altered and processed. He described Chang'e and Houyi as a couple of gods and Taoists. The evil side coveted the elixir, and Chang'e was killed in order to seek immortality.
Forced to fly to the moon.
Such a change would fit the background of this world.
But the theme of the story has not changed, it is still an original poignant love story.
"It's really hateful that monks will do whatever it takes to become a true immortal. Chang'e must be very lonely if she stays alone on the moon. What's the use of becoming a true immortal if her husband is not in her body."
After listening to the story, Qingyuan was silent for a long time and seemed not to be angry anymore. He turned his head and said with a smile: "Come with me for a walk. It's been a few days since I came here and I haven't gone to Jiaoya City yet."
"OK."
Mu Cangxuan happily agreed, reached out and grabbed a rabbit from Qingyuan's arms, and asked, "This Huo Fu is really naughty."
"Not called Fire Rabbit."
Qingyuan smiled and corrected: "It's called Lan Tong Huoyun."
"Blue-eyed Fire Cloud?"
Mu Cangxuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
I thought that after meeting the Holy King of Gold and Silver, this princess became obsessed with her. She couldn't keep the Holy King of Gold and Silver as a pet, so she simply found a substitute. If the Holy King of Gold and Silver found out about this, I'm afraid she would kill someone. A dignified generation.
Big monster, someone actually wants to capture it and keep it as a pet.
"Good name."
Regardless of whether it's good or not, let's flatter you first.
Qingyuan glanced at him sideways, and walked out with the blue-eyed fire cloud in her arms. The precious light on her feet flashed, and she had a pair of white leather boots. "Unfortunately, they are not as good as the golden eyes and silver frost."
"This is easy to handle."
Mu Cangxuan's head felt hot, and he felt proud. He patted his chest and promised: "When I succeed in my cultivation, we will go to Kunwu and capture that big monster and give it to you as a mount."
"I took note of what you said."
Qingyuan stared at Mu Cangxuan with a serious expression, "How dare you lie to me and let my father decree to recruit him into the palace to serve you."
Mu Cangxuan shivered, and there was wind in his crotch.
Those who can enter the palace to serve, besides the maids, are the eunuchs.
…………
Although Jiaoya City is not as prosperous as Chang'an City, it is smaller and more exquisite.
Because they were born in the mountains, the folk customs here are extremely tough. Along the way, the two of them encountered seven or eight fights. Fortunately, the city guards arrived in time and did not cause too much commotion. Qingyuan looked at the bustling streets.
I am not interested in exquisite jewelry, but I am obsessed with street stalls on remote streets.
Mu Cangxuan watched her squatting on the ground, chatting enthusiastically with an old man who had lost his arm.
This is a hunter who is extremely strong.
Although he has no practice, his Qi and blood are extremely strong, and even a monk on the second level of Qi training may not be able to defeat him. Speaking of the broken arm, the uncle's eyes were filled with gratitude, saying that he was hunting in the mountains and disturbed Mu.
He was the prey of a nobleman of the family, and made a big mistake. The nobleman was merciful and did not take his life, but only chopped off one of his arms.
After the marriage, there was silence for a while, I bought a good piece of fur, and I was in a bad mood when I left.
"The Emperor Gaozu came from a young age. Because he couldn't bear to see the sect treating ordinary people as cattle and sheep, he fought hard and ended the era of sect rule."
Qingyuan's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he said: "It has been a thousand years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I thought that the law should have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The world is like Chang'an, and life is equal. Only after walking all the way from Chang'an did I realize that the remaining poison of the sect has not been eliminated.
, the people have not yet awakened, and under the rule of the powerful, they are not weaker than the sect at all."
"The world is so big that some people find it difficult to live. They cannot see the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
This topic is too heavy. The era when Emperor Gaozu overthrew the sect was indeed an unparalleled achievement for the entire human race.
The first article of the Law of the Tang Dynasty states that all living beings are equal, which is the first of its kind for the human race.
It's just a pity that although Gaozu was very energetic, many of his understandings had no time to be implemented, so he was severely injured by two true immortals and had to retreat to heal. Otherwise, the three states of the Tang Dynasty might have been a different scene.
"I hope your fiefdom can be like Chang'an City."
Qingyuan turned her head and stared at Mu Cangxuan with cold eyes without blinking.
"Maybe it will be better."
"I'm a little tired, let's go back."
Qingyuan pursed her lips and smiled softly, nodded, and her mood seemed to have improved a lot.
It was already evening when we returned to the mansion.
Mu Cangxuan stopped in front of the palace. Qingyuan stopped, thought for a moment and said: "I heard that you got a spiritual sword. You haven't mastered the sword skill yet. I'll give this to you."
