Chapter 17: Goodbye Fox

I still plan to go to Wen Mansion first, push open the door of the side room, and I will go to Lin Xilin's room to look for Mu Qing.On the one hand, I want to tell him that I also plan to go to Wuxiang Academy, and on the other hand, I want to find out from him where Wuchang's residence is.Not wanting to go to Lin Xilin's room, he saw the maid who took Mu Qing from Lin Xilin's arms on the North-South Street closed the door and retreated.

"That...girl, is Mu Qing here?" I took a step forward and asked softly.

When she saw it was me, she smiled lightly, bowed and bowed to me, "Young master has gone out, doesn't Miss Ning know?"

I frowned. Although there was nothing wrong with his body, his consciousness was a little stimulated. If he went out at this time, where would he go?

"Did I tell you where I was going?

"This, the young master didn't show it." She smiled apologetically.

"Okay, I understand, thank you." She didn't seem to be lying, and I couldn't ask her any more, so I nodded with her, turned around and walked a few steps, and then asked her again, "Darkness Do you know where Chief Wei Wen Wuchang Wenfu is located in Yecheng?"

I flipped the veil that the maid gave me with my fingers, and the dragon soul armor on my body in the water mirror faded away from its short armor shape, just like the usual women's long shirt with long sleeves, it was softly attached to the skin, feeling very comfortable .Turning sideways, he looked at himself in the water mirror and walked a few steps. His clothes fluttered, his silver hair fell down, and the ends almost fell to the floor.

Except for this hair color, this fox mask... I look like a mortal girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, with green fingers and a slender waist... It's just a resemblance...

Ingeniously, he pulled back his long hair, and the dark black color quickly covered up the silvery white color.So, with a satisfied smile, I put on my hood, and the veil dropped to cover my fox mask.

When I walked out of the crimson red pavilion, watching the people coming and going on the street, there was a vague person wearing a fox mask passing by, and I felt a little nervous in my heart.When I came out of Wanqing Mountain, I faced the city and looked at these people from a distance, and I felt panic in my heart.

Right now, I'm here too.

In this vast sea of ​​people.

No one will recognize me.

No one will recognize me, so why am I nervous?

I raised my eyebrows and glanced at the veil of the blindfold hat, and slightly curled my lips. Wenfu is seven streets away from Nanbei Street, where will I meet through this hustle and bustle?

The outside world is different from the endless dark Lengjiyuan, it is lively and full of people.

High-rise buildings, low roofs and low households, steaming street stalls, peace and joy can be seen everywhere, and there are laments and sorrows in the corners.

There are people in fresh clothes and angry horses, as well as ragged clothes.

I walked through it, wearing a white shirt and a hood with flowing gauze, covering my eyes from wanton observation of them.

I am like a newborn baby, with my eyes open, as if I saw the master for the first time, accepting everything I encountered cleanly and clearly.You don't need to think about the thoughts behind each face, just look at it.

After watching and watching, I passed this section of the road, and according to what the maid said, I arrived in front of the Wenfu, stepped on the stone steps, and handed the greeting card she gave me to the little brother at the door.

Lin Xilin's name is quite useful.

Thinking so, I heard the little brother say, "Master Mu came here before, and he also came from the Jianghong Pavilion. Why didn't the girl come with him?"

I heard what he said, I think it should be Mu Qing, and I thought, what is Mu Qing doing here?Suppressing the doubts, he smiled and said, "I was going to be with Mu Qing, but something was delayed, so I came a little late."

"Oh... that young master is really called Mu Qing. If that's the case, then girl, you can come with me. Young master Mu has just arrived, and he is probably talking with adults in the study at this moment. It's too late for you to go. Not a little bit." The little brother was dubious, but on the surface he did enough, led me through the corridor into the courtyard, passed through a garden, and finally arrived at a middle courtyard inside, bent over and stood in front of the door, He was going to knock on the door, but he turned his head and asked me politely, "How do I call you, Miss?"

"Ah Ning." I also smiled lightly.

He nodded with a smile, then lowered his body respectfully, and knocked on the door, "My lord, there is a lady Ning visiting, and she said she was with Mr. Mu."

While he was knocking on the door, I already felt that there were three people in the room.One is Mu Qing, one is Wen Wuchang, and the other is... Ji Mingye.

Recalling what Ji Mingche said in Qingzhimen, Mu Qingyuan and Ji Mingye knew each other, and their friendship seems to be quite deep.

Then, Mu Qing came here suddenly, probably because he wanted to meet Ji Mingye who couldn't show up in Mingli.

It seems that I came here by chance and coincidence.

The room was silent for a while before Wen Wuchang coughed lightly, "Please."

"Please, girl." The little brother smiled and pushed open the door, making a gesture of please.

"Thank you." I nodded, and stepped in.

As soon as I entered the room, I was greeted by a faint smell of medicine.

Wen Wuchang When I first saw him, I felt weak. This smell of medicine can be regarded as evidence that he has been taking medicine all year round.

Before he looked at the scene here, three pairs of eyes shot straight at him.

I breathed a sigh of relief, took off my hood, and saw the young man sitting upright behind the Zhengbei desk.Dressed in a red and purple dress, black hair and a jade crown, a childish face with a pointed chin, and a pair of star-like eyes between the unopened eyebrows, looking at me burningly.At the age of fifteen or sixteen, young and mature, it was Ji Mingye.

Mu Qing was still sitting on the right, dressed in blue, staring at me with deep eyes.On the other hand, Wen Wuchang took care of Li Moyi's normal clothes, gave me a sideways glance, and then sat in the left-hand seat with a straight mouth and nose, sitting upright without moving...

"I don't know if the Classic of Antiquities in Mr. Wen's hand is still safe?" I asked directly to understand the purpose of my visit.

"Shang Ke Shang Ke, the little fox is too noisy, Wen's subordinates don't know how serious it is, and don't know if it thinks it's okay." Wen Wuchang is old-fashioned, but he used the little fox to threaten me.

I sneered softly, the inspiration moved, and the clothes fluttered and then fell to calm down, intending to force it with a powerful inspiration, "Why don't you let my lord tell me personally?"

"The girl has been very good at hiding all the way in Qingzhimen, why don't you just keep hiding, why do you cause more trouble?"

Wen Wuchang touched the armrest of the seat with his fingertips while speaking, and I immediately felt the aura of mystics suddenly rising around me, and the inspiration was quite strong.

I raised my eyebrows, my eyes swept past the hiding place of the occultist, and said with a disdainful smile, "Qingzhimen can't do anything to me, what do you think of Wenfu?"

"The girl is so courageous!" It was not Wen Wuchang who spoke, but Ji Mingye who was sitting by the north.

My eyes fell on Ji Mingye's serious face, and I looked at him lightly, with a cold tone, "Oh? After being treated by Master Wen, Ah Ning is not talented, so he will definitely pay back the money."

"You are really lucky to have Miss Ning as your friend." Ji Mingye changed the subject, glanced at Mu Qing lightly, and smiled erratically.

"Miss Ning saved Mu, and Qing promised to repay her. Master Wen, can you see Mu Qing's face and return Miss Ning's friend to her?" Mu Qing stood up and bowed to Wen Wuchang. .

"Since you are Mu Qing's benefactor, Impermanence, you should follow it." Ji Mingye also came out to speak, "Ancient scriptures are common scriptures that can be found everywhere, even if it is given to Miss Ning, it will be fine."

After Ji Mingye spoke, Wen Wuchang's face flashed light and dark, and he said, "Come here, please ask Miss Ning to bring her friends out of the house."

"In that case, thank you Mu Qing, Mr. Wen, thank you too..." I turned around and bowed to look at Ji Mingye in a salute. He didn't know that I followed them all the way to the Ji family's tomb , Therefore, I also have to pretend not to know him.

"Ji Mingye." He pursed his lips and smiled, "Mu Qing's friend is Ming Ye's friend. I wonder if Ming Ye will be lucky?"

"Ji's surname? It's a good surname." I replied indifferently, seeing him nod his head slightly, obviously satisfied that I didn't reveal his identity to the public.

"Thank you." After I said that, I turned around and took a few steps, turned my head to Mu Qing and said, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, so it's not good to walk around carelessly. If there is no matter about going to the academy, I will go too." After finishing speaking , I walk away.

"Wait!"

My heart was relieved, and I went to the academy to test it out, and sure enough, I found out that they were discussing this matter, otherwise Ji Mingye would not have stopped me.

"You also know the Wuxiang Academy?"

When I turned around, I saw Ji Mingye's angry face, and I pretended to be surprised, "Didn't Mu Qing say to go? I want to protect him well, so I will go with him."

"Who wants you to protect me!" Mu Qing twitched her brows and growled in a low voice.

"It's my business to protect you, it has nothing to do with you." I said coldly.

Ji Mingye glanced back and forth between Mu Qing and me, his evil spirit dissipated, and he said with a gloomy face, "Do you know what happened at Qingzhimen?"

"Huh?" I looked at him puzzled.

"Forget it, Qingzhi Gate is now destroyed, and the head of Wuxiang Academy has asked Shi to build a new academy on the former site of Qingzhi Gate. After half a month, the entrance examination will be held. If you want to go, go. Mu Qing will be in Wenfu Stay here until the exam period."

"Qingzhimen was destroyed?" I looked at Mu Qing in surprise, and saw his face turned livid, and his teeth were biting secretly, apparently in extreme patience.

What's going on here?

"It's already happened three days ago. Something happened in Wanqing Mountain. The mountain spirits and even spirit beasts were affected, and they ran around violently. Qingzhimen was the first to bear the brunt, and it also affected other places around the capital. The eldest brother is gone, and the master of Wuxiang Academy happened to stop the accident together with the national teacher, so the father and king agreed to his request, firstly, to use his power to restore the affected and destroyed land. In the name of the academy, I will deter the juniors who coveted the Ji family and left because the God of War awakened." Ji Mingye rubbed the center of his brows, looking very troubled by this matter.

Mu Qing only met Qin Shihuan once, although it was in a daze, but I can't guarantee whether he has an impression of Qin Shihuan.If so, if he knew that the head of the hospital was Qin Shihuan, how would he think about it?

"The accident at Qing Zhimen is definitely not a coincidence. It may affect others, or it may be to cover up the real purpose. You are very dangerous now." I took a step forward and stared at Mu Qing nervously, "If you want to stay here, then I'll stay too."

"I said that I don't want you to protect me, don't you understand?" Mu Qing finally couldn't restrain himself, and yelled at me loudly with a wave of his sleeves.

I bit my lip and twisted my voice, "I know you're uncomfortable, but this doesn't solve the problem. If something happens to you again, what will she do?"

Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment, his expression was slumped, he sat down in the chair, and closed his eyes in pain.

"In that case, Miss Ning, you can stay." Ji Mingye glanced at Mu Qing, and then said to Wen Wuchang, "Impermanence, you arrange it."

Wen Wuchang got up, bowed to Ji Mingye, covered his sleeves and coughed lightly, "Yes." After saying that, he took three steps back, turned around and said to me, "Follow me."

Looking at Mu Qing's appearance, I knew it would be useless to say anything at this time, so I followed Wen Wuchang out of the study.

As soon as I went out, Wen Wuchang called the servant and said that he would lead me to the side room in the backyard to meet Gungun.I'm really worried about Mu Qing's safety about what happened in Qingzhimen, but here, with Ji Mingye after all, Mu Qing still has someone to take care of him.Feeling a little comforted in my heart, I followed the boy.

"Okay, you guys are good to eat and drink, but I lost my face and begged someone to let you go."

Walking all the way to the door of a side room in the backyard, I nodded to the boy who led the way as a thank you.As soon as he opened the door, he saw the little fox with a slap-sized body jumping around among the piles of delicious wine and dishes on the table, enjoying himself.Walking quickly, holding its ear and leaning close to it, staring at it in a bad mood.

"Uh, that guy... isn't waiting for you to come...you put me down first and are talking."

The little fox kicked its limbs indiscriminately, and I didn't take it lightly. It was very funny to see it grinning, so I threw it out with a flick of my wrist.I glanced over and saw it tumbled a few times in the air. I folded my arms and stood up, pretending to be annoyed, "My mouth is bent, remember to apply oil and water. I see you, it's all right." If it’s done, it’s a lot of fat.”

"No, I have a poor waist!" The fox lowered his head and looked around in horror, and found that I was lying to him. Gulu smiled and said, "Then Wen Wuchang is very capable. , I haven’t even seen it... I have suffered a lot of grievances in order to save my life and wait for you..." As he spoke, he came over wagging his tail.

With a flick of my fingertips, I flicked it out again, and looked at it with distaste, "I can't use any excuses, but Wen Wuchang's sick and consumptive body, you don't have to worry about lying."

"He's not that good, some people are good, those mystics, and that little boy, but he's good at secret archery." The little fox had a bitter face, as if he felt very sorry for the boy. Troubled look.

"Ji Mingye?" With a thought in my mind, I stopped joking and looked at it seriously.

"Have you seen him?" The little fox jumped onto my shoulder, rubbed its tail lightly against my neck, I have always used the usual tricks to please it, so let it go for the time being.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to be angry anymore." I held it in front of my eyes with both hands, and smiled reassuringly, "If Ji Mingye is as powerful as you said, I think you're fine now, and I'm fine. It turned out that I was not good enough to put you in danger rashly, can you blame me?"

"Is it all right?" The little fox wagged its tail and made a sound of comfort.

"Little fox, will you lie to me?"

Since sorting out everything before me, I always feel that these people I met seem to be telling a big lie, which makes me feel uneasy.The existence outside the only circle in front of me suddenly became my last little hope.

"If you lie to me, I will lie to you!" The little fox snorted coldly, and stared at me with widened eyes.

I looked at it lightly, and finally felt a sense of warmth in my heart. I held up its heels and spun it around lightly, and said with a relieved smile, "I know you are the best."

"Come on, didn't you just scold me just now?" The little fox contrasted me angrily, and glanced at me proudly.

"Well, it's my fault. I'll pay you for it. Is it good?"

"Yeah, I can't bear it... You put me down, I haven't had enough. Don't say it, although Wen Wuchang is an annoying person, his attitude is not bad when he is a prisoner. I reckon He found you at Qingzhi Gate, otherwise he wouldn't have treated me so kindly." The little fox smacked his lips and looked at the food on the table.

I put it on the table, "I can't hold you to death."

The little fox gave me a sideways look, as if he was too lazy to talk to me, and continued to stuff food into his mouth.I looked at the exquisite food, and I felt good. I took a few chopsticks and tasted it. It tasted good. No wonder the little fox couldn't stop eating like this.I put down my chopsticks and watched the little fox eat quietly, feeling at peace in my heart.

"Little Fox."

"I have a name."

"How long have you been in the mortal world?"

"Huh? Why are you asking about this? It's been more than 100 years..." The little fox gave me a suspicious look.

"Like in the mortal world... what is it like? How about you, have you ever liked anyone?" I propped my jaw, and when I asked these words, the laziness and softness filled the bottom of my heart, giving birth to some drunkenness feeling.

The little fox stopped, his surprised eyes turned strangely, and he murmured, "Are you... all right?"

"Why do you think there is something wrong with me?" I tapped the table with my fingertips, squinted at it, and was a little puzzled by its fuss.

"How do I feel that you are a different person when you come back?" There was another grunt, jumping to the corner of my forehead, and sticking greasy paws to my forehead, "But has your brain been photographed?"

I slapped it, and said in distaste, "Dirty, your forehead was slapped, isn't that right?"

"Tch! Tell me, what happened to you? You've got a lot of clues like a white paper."

"Blank paper?" I said lightly, the picture of Ji's tomb flashed in my heart, "I met... some... people..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and someone said, "Miss Ning, my lord sent me the Antiquities Book."

"Come on." I got up, rubbed the little fox's head, went to the door and opened it, and saw the young servant who led the way holding a tray with a brocade document on it, It was the Book of Antiquities under Ji Mingche's hand that day.

I took it with both hands, and was about to thank you when I heard the young man laughing, "Young Master has prepared a banquet, please go ahead and continue. Young Master Mu is also here."

I don't know what Ji Mingye's plan is.Moved by my heart, I placed the tray in my hand, "Wait a while, I'll come after I put it down."

I turned around and walked to the table, and put the tray in front of the little fox, "Fox, are you going?"

"It's you who invited me, not me."

"Forget it, you just stay here, don't run around, I'll go back when I go." While speaking, I adjusted my clothes a little, and took off my hood in the study, but I didn't get the idea, it was still black ink flow Drag, fall to the waist.

"I'll just say why it's different... It turns out that it's your body... But, it's pretty." The little fox gagged again, and still allowed me to hear the words behind it, "If the mask is taken off Well, it’s probably more pleasing to the eye.”

I chuckled.In the bottom of my heart, I think so too.Like this, maybe the master saw me and recognized me first.

Suppressing the bitterness that was about to move, I moved my steps lightly, my clothes moved slightly, and followed the boy to the banquet.
