Inside the imperial study room.
Mu Zhurong, who was reviewing the memorial, suddenly smashed his pen, threw the memorial, and let out a low growl: "Ah!"
Eunuch Jiao rushed over upon hearing the sound, and asked softly, "Your Majesty?"
Mu Zhurong broke down even more when he heard his voice, but he couldn't lose his composure, resisting the urge to kill him.
Clenching his hands tightly, his nails were about to sink into the flesh, the pain made him calm down, and he asked in a low voice, "Where is Ning Guifei?"
Eunuch Jiao bowed his head and replied: "The imperial hospital came to report that the imperial concubine is sick."
Ever since the emperor came back from Prince Yi's mansion, his temper has become weird, especially when he heard the names of "King Yi", "Queen Dowager" and "Ning Guifei", his face became extremely ugly.
Concubine Ning also fell ill after returning. He vaguely guessed something, but couldn't guess anything deeper, let alone that at this moment, he was already the most hated person by the emperor.
Recently, he has been serving respectfully and carefully.
When Mu Shurong heard his reply, his eyes became unclear, "Sick?"
After returning, Concubine Ning Gui kept crying and wanted to see him, but let alone seeing her, just thinking about her made her feel sad and angry.
After a few days, she seemed to be a different person, no longer clamoring to see him, but now she was suddenly ill, which made people even more suspicious.
Eunuch Jiao was about to answer, when he heard the eunuch outside the door shouting sharply: "The Queen Mother is here!"
An old man with luxurious clothes, swaying steps, and a kind face walked in.
Mu Zhurong let go of his fingernails, and bowed respectfully: "Mother."
Empress Dowager An frowned slightly when she saw the pens and memorials on the ground. Eunuch Jiao noticed her eyes and quickly took away the things on the ground.
Empress Dowager An also acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and smiled lovingly at Mu Shurong, "I heard that the emperor has not taken medicine soup recently, and the Ai family is worried that the emperor is ill, so I came to see it."
Mu Shurong got up and smiled apologetically, avoiding her outstretched hand without a trace.
"My mother is worried about my son's unfilial piety. It's just that I have been too busy to take care of my affairs recently. Let the imperial hospital arrange my son's affairs."
Seeing that he didn't find an excuse to refuse, Empress Dowager An's doubts eased a little, "That's right, the emperor's body is not his own, but the world's."
Mu Shurong's eyes were calm, but his eyes were cold, and he replied softly, "Yes!"
Saying so, the maid next to Empress Dowager An offered a bowl of medicinal food, and Eunuch Jiao took it quickly upon seeing it.
The medicinal food was also delivered, and Empress Dowager An was relieved, "It's okay to see the emperor, and the Ai family is also relieved, let's go to see Concubine Ning Gui by the way."
Mu Shurong hurriedly stopped her, and said with a very concerned look: "Mother, the imperial hospital just reported that the imperial concubine has a cold. The mother is always weak, so I will go to pay you a visit after the imperial concubine recovers."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager An's eyes were full of doubts, but she still said with a smile on her face: "Alright, then Ai's family will go to the Queen's to have a look."
Mu Shurong nodded to the prime minister and said, "Respectfully send off the mother."
After the Queen Mother left, he stood still for a while, his eyes suddenly became unfathomable, and he looked at the bowl of medicinal food coldly.
Eunuch Jiao didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of offending the emperor by accident.
Mu Zhurong suddenly walked to the table by the window, picked up a pen and wrote vigorously on the white paper, frowning.
On the clean and white drawing paper, a beautiful man gradually appeared, dressed in black and blue silk, the most eye-catching is the pair of eyes, which cannot be described in words, and people can't forget it just by looking at it.
After finishing the painting, his hand was still, and the pen and ink dripped onto the drawing paper, rendering a mass of black, and he just stared at those indifferent eyes in a daze.
His paintings are not as good as his charm, but even if there is no real person to compare the paintings, he still remembers those indifferent eyes, the eyes that made him feel ashamed and resented.
After that day, whenever he saw desks, books, pens and inks, paper and inkstones, as long as they were things from that day, whenever he saw them, he would remember hiding behind the door when he was young, and seeing through the cracks in the door that the people from the Dongfang family died protecting him, And he personally ordered to cut off the blood of the Dongfang family, and these surging memories forced him to collapse and made him suspicious.
If he hadn't been surrounded by enemies since he was a child, and his mind had been honed to be strong, he might have gone crazy.
It turned out that he forced a person who was originally a beautiful person into that.
When Eunuch Jiao saw the man in the painting startled suddenly, he always felt familiar. He saw that the emperor was frozen, so he called him cautiously: "Your Majesty!"
"boom!"
Mu Zhurong suddenly smashed the pen, tore the painting into pieces, clenched his fists with both hands and slammed it on the table, his eyes were red.
When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
Eunuch Jiao trembled, knelt down and dared not make a sound, when he heard the emperor's gloomy voice: "King Xuan Yi enters the palace."
……
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the whole world has become quiet. Ren Ke actually doesn't like the night, because people like him only encounter many things at night.
Leng Yue knocked on the door. Seeing the sleeping person, he got up lightly and closed the door.
Leng Yue reported in a low voice: "My lord, Chen Ran sent a message that the emperor, King Xuan Yi, has entered the palace."
Ren Ke moved his numb arm, and said calmly, "It's been five days, and he can really hold his breath."
Leng Yue didn't make any comments, and continued to report: "Jinxing will arrive tomorrow."
"Well, with his character, he should have brought a lot of people on his own initiative."
"My lord, forgive me, Jin Xing is just planning for a rainy day." Leng Yue leaned over slightly, defending Jin Xing.
For Leng Yue who is always serious, Ren Ke sometimes has a headache. For example, in this case, she obviously just said it casually, but she took it seriously.
He waved his hand and said softly, "I don't blame him."
Leng Yue showed shame, got up slowly, and left.
At noon on the second day, Jin Xing arrived.
Leng Yue went to pick him up at the back door, saw his dusty appearance, wiped the sweat from his forehead perfunctorily, and asked her, "Has anything happened recently?"
"No."
The two went upstairs together, and as soon as Jin Xing pushed the door open, he saw the master and Mu Xuan arguing, and Mu Xuan committed the crime, even pulling the master's collar, and the master had a smile on his face.
Leng Yue pulled him out with one hand, and blamed him expressionlessly, "Can't you knock on the door?"
Jin Xing has an innocent face, the master is a martial artist, he can hear mosquitoes blowing his ears, and can always detect their movements in advance, so they don't have the habit of knocking on the door, he will forget it for a while, the master is still around now There is someone.
Over there, Mu Xuan quickly let go of the person, and turned his head away in embarrassment.
Ren Ke knocked on the table, and the two people who were staring at each other outside the door came in together. He may not have seen the two standing together for a long time, and some ripples appeared in his heart.
Jin Xing: "My lord."
He asked: "Have all the people brought here been arranged?"
Jin Xing: "It's all arranged outside the city, no one will notice."
Ren Ke nodded, "Maybe you haven't seen each other for a long time, go find Liu Xu to catch up." At the end, he added: "Bring Ah Yan."
The two retreated in response, and before leaving, Jin Xing glanced at Mu Xuan, his eyes were no longer as aggressive as before.
After a while, Liu Xu's crisp laughter was heard. Mu Xuan looked at Ren Ke with his head propped up, like a poor old man left behind.
"What are you doing?" Ren Ke saw that he suddenly looked at him with sympathy, as if he was a useless person, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Xuan: "Do you want to drink?"
Ren Ke was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that he had hallucinations in his ears, and Qi Jiu actually asked himself to drink.
Because of his illness, he couldn't drink alcohol, so Qijiu saw that he was very strict, and would get angry and throw a temper tantrum whenever he smelled of alcohol.
It's more unusual than the sun rising in the west to actually take the initiative to invite you to this meeting.
Mu Xuan stood up and patted the folds of his clothes. Seeing that he was still sitting there blankly, he asked, "Don't drink?"
Ren Ke immediately jumped up from his seat and couldn't wait to go out.
The two were drunk in the firewood room of Liuyue Tower, and when Liu Xu found them, they were arguing red-faced.
Mu Xuan jumped up and down angrily, pointing at him and yelling, "You are really sick! Why don't you listen to persuasion! You haven't wronged anyone, and that is everything you should have!"
Ren Ke threw the wine jar to the ground with a "bang", and the wine overflowed and the aroma of the wine wafted away. He covered his head and shouted, "It's not mine! I'm already like this, why do I want to harm others!"
He seldom saw the master lose his temper, so he might really be out of breath.
Mu Xuan jumped down from the shaky table, shook Ren Ke's shoulders, burst into tears, and almost begged, "Ren Ke, I beg you, don't embarrass yourself, okay?"
He had never done this before, and only when he was drunk could he speak out what he wanted so unscrupulously.
Ren Ke's eyes were red, his veins burst out, his heart was beating violently, and everything in the past was surging like a sea tide, torturing his sanity.
He left Mu Xuan's hand, wiped away his tears, suppressed the turbulent inner breath in his body, and choked up, "Ah Xuan, I can't turn back."
Mu Xuan pushed him away fiercely, smashed things angrily, and shouted in a broken voice, "Why can't you turn around? It's not your fault! Why let you bear this alone, they deserve to die even more."
Liu Xu has never seen them like this, brother Qijiu, who is always in a warm spring breeze, is like a raging lion at this moment, wishing to tear down the firewood house.
And the master supported the table, as if he was enduring some pain, quietly listening to his complaints, watching him get angry, shaking his body and almost falling down.
Liu Xu stepped forward to support him, a little at a loss.
"Take care of your Brother Axuan, he is drunk." Ren Ke pulled her hand away, pinched her face lightly, and staggered out of the firewood room after giving instructions softly.
Jin Xing, who was guarding the door, saw him walking out, and whispered, "My lord, Chen Ran is here, and someone is following him, but it has been resolved."
After speaking, I realized that the master was not in the right state, his eyes were red, his neck was also red, and the veins became more prominent, as if he had fallen ill again.
Ren Ke: "No see."
Jin Xing said quickly, "I'll send him away right now."
The cool wind blew away some of his drunkenness, Ren Ke grabbed him, picked up the stick on the ground, and stumbled out.
Some things should be interrupted, and they will be disrupted.
The Liuyue Tower in the early morning was very quiet, the guests had already fallen asleep, and the girls also slept soundly.
Only Chen Ran stood alone in the lobby, Ren Ke approached slowly, found the nearest chair and sat down, holding his painful forehead.
Chen Ran hurriedly called him: "Master."
Ren Ke frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Facing his cold eyes, Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind to ask him: "I want to ask, do you want to fight against His Majesty?"
Thinking that it was a big deal for him to take the risk to find him, but it was such an obvious problem, Ren Ke lowered his head helplessly and sneered.
Looking at him with his head propped up, although Chen Ran was the one he saved, his aspirations were different from Qi Shan's.
He replied in a low voice: "Have I already been wanted by the government? It's me who won't fight against them, it's because they won't let me go."
Hearing this, Chen Ran was speechless and lowered his head.
It took him a long time to ask him in a deep voice: "Are you plotting against His Majesty?"
"Yes."
Ren Ke smiled and admitted generously that the stick he picked up was rubbed with his left hand. It should be a fire stick, and one end was so black that the color could not be seen.
Now Chen Ran has no problem at all. Before that, he knew very well how powerful the Lord is, and he knew that what he wanted to do would definitely be done. This was also the reason why he left Qi Shan.
This time in the capital, apart from killing those people, he deliberately set up a stall to practice medicine to make his reputation bigger, and His Majesty has no heirs so far, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that His Majesty is ill.
The Lord also specially asked him to flatter him, so that the Emperor knew that there was such a genius doctor as him.
But after seeing him, the emperor became irritable, he who never scolded the people around him began to scold, even the most trusted Eunuch Jiao was almost replaced several times.
And the noble concubine was inexplicably ill, and even the queen mother could not see her behind closed doors.
If it is said that all these things have nothing to do with the Lord, he will not believe it.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Ren Ke must have had his own thoughts, and stared at him with wide eyes, his eyes became unfathomable, "Do you remember what I told you last time?"
Chen Ran suddenly remembered what he said before, and stammered: "I remember, it's just..."
Ren Ke didn't give him time to come up with a reason, and approached him with a stick, Chen Ran trembled slightly but didn't hide or scream, closing his eyes and waiting for the trial.
"what!"
The fire stick slammed down from his knees, and Chen Ran suddenly knelt down, gritted his teeth and did not dare to shout, only dared to groan.
If the King of Hades does not die, his life will be worse than death. Even if the people around him have broken legs, he will do what he says.
Seeing the grim-faced man in pain on the ground, Ren Ke turned around to look at the place where the candlelight could not reach the hall, and said coldly:
"You are not from my Qi Shan family, so you don't need to flatter me, let alone come to see me, and you are not allowed to have any relationship with my Qi Shan sect servants in the future, and Qi Shan will never inquire about news from other places in the future."
Jin Xing on the side wanted to step forward to help someone but didn't dare, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Yes."
Chen Ran's forehead was dripping with sweat, his teeth were trembling, and he replied weakly: "Yes."
"It won't be teaching next time." Ren Ke's voice was as cold as winter ice, making people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
The fight was over, and the words that should be said were all said. Ren Ke walked forward, looked at the stairs that were getting higher and higher under his feet, and said softly:
"This is the path you choose, and you have to climb to the end."
The sky was gray and it was almost dawn.
Ren Ke dropped the stick and staggered back to the firewood room. Mu Xuan leaned on Liu Xu's shoulder and fell asleep.
Ren Ke walked over, held Liu Xu who was about to move, sat next to Mu Xuan, and gently moved his head to his shoulder.
Ren Ke raised his wine and asked her, "Do you drink?"
Liu Xu was slightly stunned, nodded reluctantly, took the wine jar he handed over, carefully raised her head and took a sip, frowning hotly, and quickly returned the wine.
Ren Ke turned to look at her, and a smile slowly appeared on that indifferent face, an indescribably wry smile.
He was about to drink, when the wine jar was held down by the little girl's jade hand, she looked at him eagerly, and reminded, "Brother, you can't drink."
"But, my brother will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't drink."
When Liu Xu heard what he said, her voice hit her heart softly but heavily. After decades, she would often think of Ren Ke like this. It turned out that her brother had hidden such a heavy thing in his heart.
But now the little girl seemed to understand, and only asked softly: "Is brother sick again?"
Ren Ke looked at the little girl's porcelain-white face, and remembered how many times he fell ill after Mu Xuan left, she was always by his side, begging him to live over and over again.
Without her, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy.
----
Early in the morning in the capital, it was widely rumored that Concubine Ning Guifei died suddenly. The emperor ignored the government affairs for a few days and couldn't eat.
Ren Ke ignored these half-truths and half-false rumors, and calmly poured tea for Mu Xuan.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Jin Xing was a little anxious, "My lord, now the capital is full of your wanted warrants, this time it's true."
Previous arrest warrants related to him took some effort to change the portrait, but this time it was true, it must have been Mu Zhurong himself who acted, the majestic nine-five-year-old, and his air is a little too small.
Mu Xuan looked up at him, and continued to watch the people coming and going downstairs. The owner who sells pears and the owner who sells vegetables have been arguing for almost half an hour because of the land boundary issue. Endless, you come and I go.
Jin Xing continued: "The capital will strictly investigate."
Ren Ke sat upright and wiped his sword, without raising his head, he said, "It's all right."
Jin Xing: "Su Feng came in person to see you."
Ren Ke was slightly taken aback, and continued to wipe his sword: "Please."
Hearing this, Mu Xuan consciously went to the inner room, and continued to lean against the window to watch the two bosses quarrel, and still bet in his heart that the boss selling pears would win, because when he went to buy pears last time, the boss praised him for his talent, so Based on this, he is obliged to be the pear boss.
From the outside, Su Feng hurried in, seeing Ren Ke's appearance as a wild crane, he suppressed his anger in his heart, he didn't even sit down, and said bluntly: "I came to you in person to tell you that it is no small matter to settle down in Beijing tomorrow. It’s best not to act rashly.”
Since Su Feng is the prime minister, there are many eyeliners and secret guards in the capital. Even if he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he can know a thing or two by relying on eyeliner and guesswork.
He came here specially, guessing that he had found something.
But Ren Ke is not worried about what he finds at all, and what can be found is no secret to him.
He glanced at the prime minister blowing his beard and staring, and replied calmly: "What are you afraid of, I won't let them die easily."
He is really stubborn, Su Feng paced back and forth: "Sooner or later, the Criminal Division will find you."
Ren Ke withdrew his sword, raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Will Prime Minister Su allow them to find me?"
Su Feng remained silent, and hurriedly left after warning him to act on his own.
When Mu Xuan came out from the inside, the two bosses had turned off the fire. The vegetable seller jumped his feet angrily, while the pear seller continued to yell calmly, without feeling uncomfortable in his voice because of the long quarrel.
Seeing him smiling, Ren Ke followed his gaze and asked, "Do you want to eat pears?"
Mu Xuan: "No, we'll have dinner in a while.
Both of them didn't say a word about being drunk, as if nothing happened, they just looked at each other occasionally, and they would suddenly quiet down.
From the very beginning, their thoughts were separated by a natural moat, and their choices were completely different.
Liu Xu knocked on the door and asked softly, "Brother? Are you there?"
Mu Xuan: "Come in."
The little girl gently opened the door, wearing a pink dress, standing at the door with a smile.
Mu Xuan exclaimed, "What day is it today? It looks so beautiful."
Liu Xu lowered her head slightly, and lifted her skirt in embarrassment, "Liuyuelou is closed today, I invite everyone to dinner."
Mu Xuan looked up at Ren Ke, but Ren Ke said that he didn't know about it.
"That's so embarrassing." Although Mu Xuan said he was embarrassed, he couldn't wait to see any embarrassment. Seeing that Ren Ke was still indifferent, he stretched out his hand and pulled him up.
"I guess they're all there."
Mu Xuan pulled Ren Ke, stood in the corridor and looked down. There was a big round table in the lobby, which was filled with a variety of food.
Jin Xing was setting the bowls and chopsticks, Ah Yan was sitting at the table, and Jin Xing ruthlessly stopped him when he was about to make a move, while the iceberg beauty Leng Yue leaned on the pillar and looked over, nodding slightly in greeting.
Mu Xuan tilted his head to look at the beautifully dressed Liu Xu, and blinked, "Isn't it Xiao Xu's birthday today?"
"It's not." After Liu Xu denied it, she carried her skirt and went downstairs.
In the past, at sunset at this moment, it was the time when Liuyue Tower started to be lively, but today there was no girl, only a few of them were left inside and out, very quiet.
The colored cloth in the lobby swayed slightly, Mu Xuan dragged Ren Ke downstairs, saw everyone was there, and felt a sense of tranquility in his life.
Seeing Ah Yan's eagerness to eat, Liu Xu quickly poured water for him, fearing that he would choke, and smiled softly, "Eat slowly, today's food is enough."
He remembered that in Qishan before, he devoured a meal, and almost got into a fight over ordering vegetables.
Mu Xuan smiled and picked vegetables for Ren Ke, and did not forget to pick a piece of meat for Liu Xu, "What wish does Xiao Xu have?"
Liu Xu blushed and defended, "They say it's not my birthday."
"Okay, okay, no, no." Mu Xuan followed her, handed Ah Yan a spoon to scoop up tofu, and continued, "Even if it's not, my brother will fulfill one of your wishes today."
Ren Ke also nodded, "It's all right."
Liu Xu thought for a while, looking at the family at the table, she didn't seem to have any wishes, if it was really possible, she hoped that the second uncle and the others could be there.
It's just that it's a delusion.
The little girl thought for a long time, and her thoughts became more and more depressed. Jin Xing scooped up a bowl of soup for her, and said softly, "It's okay, if you can't think of it, you owe it first. Whenever you have a wish, the Lord will grant it."
Liu Xu stopped thinking about it and re-entered the joy of serving food for everyone.
Mu Xuan and A Yan's eyes were full of food, and they made eye contact from time to time when they sat together. Leng Yue and Jin Xing had a few drinks if they could, but only Ren Ke and Liu Xu were calmer.
"Ah Yan, don't just eat vegetables, you drink this soup, it's very fresh!"
Mu Xuan recommended it wholeheartedly, and Ah Yan freed his hand to scoop up a bowl of dumpling soup. He took a sip with a satisfied face, and nodded at him, recommending reciprocally, "Try this shrimp, it's very delicious."
The kid hasn't read any books, and when he describes something delicious, he just looks serious and delicious, without any adjectives.But he was very sincere, and he put it in a bowl for him. If he was not too busy eating, he should have peeled the shrimp shells for him.
Mu Xuan glanced at it, continued to eat the braised pork, and hummed, "I'll eat it later."
Hearing this, Ren Ke next to him shook his sleeves, took the prawns in his bowl, peeled them for him leisurely, and put them back into his bowl.
Liu Xu looked enviously, propped her head to look at them, and sighed softly, "Brother Ren is so kind to Brother Xuan."
Since Ren Ke called Mu Xuan "A Xuan" last time, Liu Xu also changed "Brother Qijiu" to "Brother Xuan".
The little girl was full of envy, so Ren Ke reluctantly peeled a few shrimps for him and gagged her.
The lobby was brightly lit, it was not as tense as Qi Shan's that time, this time it was all in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, and maybe Qi Shan was too nervous that time.
Leng Yue and Jin Xing were drinking, and suddenly they slapped the table and got up, pointed at Mu Xuan and shouted, "Aren't you dead?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, Jin Xing couldn't pull it back no matter what, she threw it away suddenly, and rushed in front of him with the wine glass.
Mu Xuan swallowed the meat in his mouth, and looked up at her with a greasy face.
I have never seen a Bingshan beauty so free and easy. Mu Xuan wiped his mouth, but before he wiped it clean, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar. The beauty approached him and asked, "Tell me, when will you comb my hair!"
"..."
This girl turned out to be a real reflection arc!
Ren Ke pulled her hand away and straightened Mu Xuan's collar, "Leng Yue, don't make trouble."
Hearing this, Leng Yue became aggrieved, dropped the wine glass at once, and said in mourning, "You liar, why did you disappear for so long! I always thought my month was the moon's month!"
Everyone: "..."
Mu Xuan really didn't expect that he was so harmful, let alone that the creditor was so narrow-minded.
Leng Yue got so angry that she even pulled out the whip, but instead of throwing it at Mu Xuan, she threw it at Ren Ke, who raised his hand to hold his whip.
Bingshan beauty said angrily: "You almost killed my savior!"
Ren Ke: "..."
Liu Xu quickly went to support the rickety man, a little at a loss, "Sister Leng Yue, you are drunk, let me help you to rest."
Thanks to Muxuan, they saw a completely different Leng Yue.
Ren Ke: "A Yan, take Leng Yue to rest."
Ah Yan: "Well, I don't have time." The child only has food in his eyes, and he doesn't care what happens to them. Even if there is a fight, he will still eat, unless he overturns his dining table.
Ren Ke is the master of Qishan Mountain, and all the subordinates are not obeying discipline at all, and feel a little embarrassed for a while.
Mu Xuan didn't have any eyesight at all, so he laughed so hard that his back hurt and he held his arm for support.
Usually, there are five people and six people, calling the wind and rain, but now no one can do it.
Jin Xing: "I'll go."
So Liu Xu and Jin Xing dragged away Leng Yue who was clamoring to kill Ren Ke.
"Let go of me, I'm going to kill him!"
Jin Xing couldn't bear to cover her mouth, already feeling embarrassed that she would wake up tomorrow.
There were three people left in the lobby, Ah Yan continued to eat his food, Mu Xuan couldn't straighten up laughing, Ren Ke stared at him with downcast eyes.
Suddenly picked him up, went straight to the room, and threw him on the bed, Mu Xuan couldn't laugh in an instant, and apologized sincerely.
Ren Ke: "Is it funny?"
Mu Xuan: "It's not funny at all."
Ren Ke leaned over slightly, inserted his fingers into his hair, kissed his brow, and told him softly, "Leng Yue followed me because of you."
Mu Xuan pushed him away, wondering, "Because I saved her then?"
"Yes." Ren Ke gradually went down, and was about to bite down, Mu Xuan raised his foot against him, not letting him approach, "Does she know that Qi Shan was me that time?"
"Maybe I guessed it."
His existence is a metaphysics, it's hard for Leng Yue to believe it.
Ren Ke lay sideways beside him, raising his hand to hug him.
Mu Xuan pushed him away unceremoniously, got off the bed and went straight to the door without giving him a chance.
There was a lot of noise about Anjia's move to Beijing, and the owners of the stalls on the street were all talking about it.
Mu Xuan held the jade pendant up to the sunlight to look at it. The jade pendant had a lot of impurities, but it was in a crescent shape and looked like a glowing moon in the sunlight.
The bustling grocery store owner who was chatting with the stall next door suddenly came to his senses and greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother, this jade pendant is very good, please bring one."
Mu Xuan put down his hands, behind him was the pear seller, he had a quarrel with the vegetable seller yesterday, but today he reconciled, and the two of them chatted with each other in full swing.
The boss asked, "Brother, do you want to buy it?"
Mu Xuan put down the jade pendant and turned to buy pears.
"Hey, little brother is here. I haven't seen you for a few days. It's still Yushu Linfeng, so romantic." Boss Li spoke very sweetly. Mu Xuan was in a happy mood and reached out to Ren Ke for money.
"Ten catties, send it to Liuyuelou."
Hearing this, the boss smiled happily.
Ren Ke honestly gave the money, and then wandered around with him.
An's family was received by Yi Wang, and many celebrities were hosted by Yi Wang's mansion to welcome An's family.
Mu Xuan led him straight to the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, seeing the endless stream of people, who had to show their invitation cards when entering the mansion, it was not easy to get in.
Mu Xuan swaggered and pulled him closer, but as expected, he was stopped by the servant. Under Ren Ke's gaze, he calmly took out an invitation from his bosom and handed it to the servant.
After reading it, the boy let it go without asking any more questions. Ren Ke looked at him in surprise.
"It's a painting." Mu Xuan told him secretly, with a proud face, "I asked Ah Yan to steal one and imitate it."
No wonder Ren Ke lowered his eyes slightly after being with Ah Yan for so long last night, and adjusted his mask.
Mu Xuan was going to the bathroom, Ren Ke was waiting for him in the aisle, and two servants walked up to him, and suddenly knocked off his mask as they passed by him.
Because there are portraits of him everywhere, Mu Xuan drew blue marks when he went out, and temporarily used the name of a genius doctor, which made things easier.
He guessed that Mu Zhurong would not be so stupid as to tell anyone that the one who treated him was the King of Hades.
The boy who played tricks on him didn't expect the face under the mask to be so ugly, so he was startled and cursed: "You monster doesn't have eyes when you walk, who are you trying to scare to death!"
There is no need for a sword to deal with this kind of ants, the throwing knife on his cuff is ready, and a girl appeared out of nowhere, aggressively pushing the two boys away.
Protecting him behind him very domineeringly, he yelled at the boy: "How can you bully others! It is clearly the person you met, please apologize to him!"
The two servants seemed to be very afraid of the little girl, and quickly apologized respectfully: "I'm sorry."
Seeing that he was forced to apologize helplessly, Ren Ke lowered his eyes slightly and ignored him.
The two boys were chased away, the little girl picked up the mask on the ground and returned it to him, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Ren Ke shook his head, and was stopped by her when he was about to leave. She took out a handkerchief and opened it with a smile on her face, "This is the jujube cake I secretly took, and I will share half with you."
There were a few pastries that were about to fall apart, Ren Ke looked at her with a slight frown.
"Are you dumb?"
The girl asked suspiciously, and Ren Ke said, "No."
Hearing him speak, the little girl seemed very happy, and then she showed doubts: "Then why don't you speak?"
Seeing her being happy for a while and puzzled for a while, the mood between her brows changed as if she had changed her face. It was the same as when Liu Xu guarded him for a long time and suddenly heard him speak, so she couldn't help but smile.
Seeing him smile, the little girl was even happier, "You look so pretty when you smile."
After speaking, without waiting for Ren Ke to react, he dragged him away on his own initiative, "It's too noisy inside, let's go for a walk."
He looked back, just in time to see Mu Xuan leaning against the wall, smiling and waving to himself, signaling for himself to rest assured, he frowned slightly, and didn't struggle anymore.
Ren Ke was really dragged all the way. Seeing the back of her head, he tried to knock her out countless times or failed, but every time she wanted to do it, she talked to him with a smile and dragged him on the street. Fleeing around, interrupted his chance to make a move.
And Mu Xuan followed him unhurriedly, coughing and stopping him whenever he made any abnormal movements.
The little girl looked at this and that for a while, and finally stopped for a while before a mask vendor.
She kept showing him the mask, Ren Ke looked at himself in the mirror before going out, the bruises on his face were very ferocious, and after walking all the way just now, everyone who saw him had a look of disgust and fear in their eyes, but However, this little girl kept pulling him.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The little girl raised her head and looked directly at the blue marks on his face, the red was faintly black, as if he was born with it or as if it was acquired.
She blinked her watery eyes, and replied without thinking: "It looks scary, but if you don't hurt me, I won't be afraid. As long as you're not a bad person, I won't be afraid."
Mu Xuan was behind them, listening to these words, burst out laughing, she is really an inexperienced little girl, and the word "bad guy" can't be written on the bad guy's face.
Ren Ke glanced at him sideways, snatched the mask from his hand, put it on casually and asked, "What's your name?"
The little girl smiled and said, "My name is Li Huan."
Ren Ke frowned slightly, but his surname was Li.
Li Huan stepped on his feet and looked into his eyes, feeling like there were stars in them, and asked, "Then what's your name?"
Ren Ke's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't want to answer, turned around and left, Li Huan jumped up and down behind him, "You look older than me, since you won't tell me your name, then I will call you brother from now on."
He suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her gloomyly, "I don't need my sister."
Only Xiao Xu is his sister.
He forcibly sent Li Huan back to Prince Yi's mansion and left, but was stopped by someone on the way, and it was the lingering Hengshan disciple Mo Wen.
Mo Wen's eyes were cold, and he said in a warning tone: "You can't hurt her!"
"She" must be referring to Li Huan, Ren Ke frowned slightly and sneered, "That depends on whether you have the ability to protect her!"
Their eyes were facing each other, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the swords in their hands were clenched tighter and tighter.
"You really linger! You don't have the eldest lady to protect you now. I will see where you go, and I will kill you."
The sudden bluff broke the silence. It was the boy who had been chased away by Li Huan before. He rushed towards Ren Ke angrily, as if he was determined not to give up until he was beaten to death.
Ren Ke didn't move his feet, he swung the knife in his left sleeve and stabbed the young servant's wrist, causing him to scream in pain.
Seeing this, Mo Wen's eyes became indifferent, and he suppressed his anger.
Ren Ke was expressionless, "Is everyone from Hengshan here?"
"what are you going to do!"
"Naturally... kill people! Set fire!"
He lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the murderous look in his eyes, and the cold air permeated the whole body of the decent disciple.
The air around the two of them was half frozen, no murderous intent was better than murderous intent.
Ren Ke moved first, but instead of drawing his sword, he tiptoed lightly and floated towards the roof like a bamboo leaf.
Mo Wen's eyes were piercing, and he shouted at him: "I won't let you succeed."
His tone was confident, and Ren Ke's eyes didn't change when he heard his words.
That being the case, let's face each other with swords and swords from that day on.
Mu Xuan was biting the candied haws, and when he saw him coming over the wall, he was slightly taken aback, "The appointment is over?"
"why?"
"The little girl saved your life, you can't be grateful."
Ren Ke snatched his candied haws angrily, and held it up high, even if he stood on tiptoe, he couldn't grab it.
The street was dimly lit, Mu Xuan couldn't get it back, so he simply gave it to him, and joked, "It seems that the little girl is not beautiful enough, you don't like it!"
Hearing this, Ren Ke hugged the person on the footsteps, hid the candied haws behind his back, and bit his ear viciously, "Stop messing around."
Mu Xuan covered his ears and stayed away from him, "You belong to a dog!"
Ren Ke looked at his flushed face, so angry
Mu Zhurong, who was reviewing the memorial, suddenly smashed his pen, threw the memorial, and let out a low growl: "Ah!"
Eunuch Jiao rushed over upon hearing the sound, and asked softly, "Your Majesty?"
Mu Zhurong broke down even more when he heard his voice, but he couldn't lose his composure, resisting the urge to kill him.
Clenching his hands tightly, his nails were about to sink into the flesh, the pain made him calm down, and he asked in a low voice, "Where is Ning Guifei?"
Eunuch Jiao bowed his head and replied: "The imperial hospital came to report that the imperial concubine is sick."
Ever since the emperor came back from Prince Yi's mansion, his temper has become weird, especially when he heard the names of "King Yi", "Queen Dowager" and "Ning Guifei", his face became extremely ugly.
Concubine Ning also fell ill after returning. He vaguely guessed something, but couldn't guess anything deeper, let alone that at this moment, he was already the most hated person by the emperor.
Recently, he has been serving respectfully and carefully.
When Mu Shurong heard his reply, his eyes became unclear, "Sick?"
After returning, Concubine Ning Gui kept crying and wanted to see him, but let alone seeing her, just thinking about her made her feel sad and angry.
After a few days, she seemed to be a different person, no longer clamoring to see him, but now she was suddenly ill, which made people even more suspicious.
Eunuch Jiao was about to answer, when he heard the eunuch outside the door shouting sharply: "The Queen Mother is here!"
An old man with luxurious clothes, swaying steps, and a kind face walked in.
Mu Zhurong let go of his fingernails, and bowed respectfully: "Mother."
Empress Dowager An frowned slightly when she saw the pens and memorials on the ground. Eunuch Jiao noticed her eyes and quickly took away the things on the ground.
Empress Dowager An also acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and smiled lovingly at Mu Shurong, "I heard that the emperor has not taken medicine soup recently, and the Ai family is worried that the emperor is ill, so I came to see it."
Mu Shurong got up and smiled apologetically, avoiding her outstretched hand without a trace.
"My mother is worried about my son's unfilial piety. It's just that I have been too busy to take care of my affairs recently. Let the imperial hospital arrange my son's affairs."
Seeing that he didn't find an excuse to refuse, Empress Dowager An's doubts eased a little, "That's right, the emperor's body is not his own, but the world's."
Mu Shurong's eyes were calm, but his eyes were cold, and he replied softly, "Yes!"
Saying so, the maid next to Empress Dowager An offered a bowl of medicinal food, and Eunuch Jiao took it quickly upon seeing it.
The medicinal food was also delivered, and Empress Dowager An was relieved, "It's okay to see the emperor, and the Ai family is also relieved, let's go to see Concubine Ning Gui by the way."
Mu Shurong hurriedly stopped her, and said with a very concerned look: "Mother, the imperial hospital just reported that the imperial concubine has a cold. The mother is always weak, so I will go to pay you a visit after the imperial concubine recovers."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager An's eyes were full of doubts, but she still said with a smile on her face: "Alright, then Ai's family will go to the Queen's to have a look."
Mu Shurong nodded to the prime minister and said, "Respectfully send off the mother."
After the Queen Mother left, he stood still for a while, his eyes suddenly became unfathomable, and he looked at the bowl of medicinal food coldly.
Eunuch Jiao didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of offending the emperor by accident.
Mu Zhurong suddenly walked to the table by the window, picked up a pen and wrote vigorously on the white paper, frowning.
On the clean and white drawing paper, a beautiful man gradually appeared, dressed in black and blue silk, the most eye-catching is the pair of eyes, which cannot be described in words, and people can't forget it just by looking at it.
After finishing the painting, his hand was still, and the pen and ink dripped onto the drawing paper, rendering a mass of black, and he just stared at those indifferent eyes in a daze.
His paintings are not as good as his charm, but even if there is no real person to compare the paintings, he still remembers those indifferent eyes, the eyes that made him feel ashamed and resented.
After that day, whenever he saw desks, books, pens and inks, paper and inkstones, as long as they were things from that day, whenever he saw them, he would remember hiding behind the door when he was young, and seeing through the cracks in the door that the people from the Dongfang family died protecting him, And he personally ordered to cut off the blood of the Dongfang family, and these surging memories forced him to collapse and made him suspicious.
If he hadn't been surrounded by enemies since he was a child, and his mind had been honed to be strong, he might have gone crazy.
It turned out that he forced a person who was originally a beautiful person into that.
When Eunuch Jiao saw the man in the painting startled suddenly, he always felt familiar. He saw that the emperor was frozen, so he called him cautiously: "Your Majesty!"
"boom!"
Mu Zhurong suddenly smashed the pen, tore the painting into pieces, clenched his fists with both hands and slammed it on the table, his eyes were red.
When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
Eunuch Jiao trembled, knelt down and dared not make a sound, when he heard the emperor's gloomy voice: "King Xuan Yi enters the palace."
……
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the whole world has become quiet. Ren Ke actually doesn't like the night, because people like him only encounter many things at night.
Leng Yue knocked on the door. Seeing the sleeping person, he got up lightly and closed the door.
Leng Yue reported in a low voice: "My lord, Chen Ran sent a message that the emperor, King Xuan Yi, has entered the palace."
Ren Ke moved his numb arm, and said calmly, "It's been five days, and he can really hold his breath."
Leng Yue didn't make any comments, and continued to report: "Jinxing will arrive tomorrow."
"Well, with his character, he should have brought a lot of people on his own initiative."
"My lord, forgive me, Jin Xing is just planning for a rainy day." Leng Yue leaned over slightly, defending Jin Xing.
For Leng Yue who is always serious, Ren Ke sometimes has a headache. For example, in this case, she obviously just said it casually, but she took it seriously.
He waved his hand and said softly, "I don't blame him."
Leng Yue showed shame, got up slowly, and left.
At noon on the second day, Jin Xing arrived.
Leng Yue went to pick him up at the back door, saw his dusty appearance, wiped the sweat from his forehead perfunctorily, and asked her, "Has anything happened recently?"
"No."
The two went upstairs together, and as soon as Jin Xing pushed the door open, he saw the master and Mu Xuan arguing, and Mu Xuan committed the crime, even pulling the master's collar, and the master had a smile on his face.
Leng Yue pulled him out with one hand, and blamed him expressionlessly, "Can't you knock on the door?"
Jin Xing has an innocent face, the master is a martial artist, he can hear mosquitoes blowing his ears, and can always detect their movements in advance, so they don't have the habit of knocking on the door, he will forget it for a while, the master is still around now There is someone.
Over there, Mu Xuan quickly let go of the person, and turned his head away in embarrassment.
Ren Ke knocked on the table, and the two people who were staring at each other outside the door came in together. He may not have seen the two standing together for a long time, and some ripples appeared in his heart.
Jin Xing: "My lord."
He asked: "Have all the people brought here been arranged?"
Jin Xing: "It's all arranged outside the city, no one will notice."
Ren Ke nodded, "Maybe you haven't seen each other for a long time, go find Liu Xu to catch up." At the end, he added: "Bring Ah Yan."
The two retreated in response, and before leaving, Jin Xing glanced at Mu Xuan, his eyes were no longer as aggressive as before.
After a while, Liu Xu's crisp laughter was heard. Mu Xuan looked at Ren Ke with his head propped up, like a poor old man left behind.
"What are you doing?" Ren Ke saw that he suddenly looked at him with sympathy, as if he was a useless person, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Xuan: "Do you want to drink?"
Ren Ke was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that he had hallucinations in his ears, and Qi Jiu actually asked himself to drink.
Because of his illness, he couldn't drink alcohol, so Qijiu saw that he was very strict, and would get angry and throw a temper tantrum whenever he smelled of alcohol.
It's more unusual than the sun rising in the west to actually take the initiative to invite you to this meeting.
Mu Xuan stood up and patted the folds of his clothes. Seeing that he was still sitting there blankly, he asked, "Don't drink?"
Ren Ke immediately jumped up from his seat and couldn't wait to go out.
The two were drunk in the firewood room of Liuyue Tower, and when Liu Xu found them, they were arguing red-faced.
Mu Xuan jumped up and down angrily, pointing at him and yelling, "You are really sick! Why don't you listen to persuasion! You haven't wronged anyone, and that is everything you should have!"
Ren Ke threw the wine jar to the ground with a "bang", and the wine overflowed and the aroma of the wine wafted away. He covered his head and shouted, "It's not mine! I'm already like this, why do I want to harm others!"
He seldom saw the master lose his temper, so he might really be out of breath.
Mu Xuan jumped down from the shaky table, shook Ren Ke's shoulders, burst into tears, and almost begged, "Ren Ke, I beg you, don't embarrass yourself, okay?"
He had never done this before, and only when he was drunk could he speak out what he wanted so unscrupulously.
Ren Ke's eyes were red, his veins burst out, his heart was beating violently, and everything in the past was surging like a sea tide, torturing his sanity.
He left Mu Xuan's hand, wiped away his tears, suppressed the turbulent inner breath in his body, and choked up, "Ah Xuan, I can't turn back."
Mu Xuan pushed him away fiercely, smashed things angrily, and shouted in a broken voice, "Why can't you turn around? It's not your fault! Why let you bear this alone, they deserve to die even more."
Liu Xu has never seen them like this, brother Qijiu, who is always in a warm spring breeze, is like a raging lion at this moment, wishing to tear down the firewood house.
And the master supported the table, as if he was enduring some pain, quietly listening to his complaints, watching him get angry, shaking his body and almost falling down.
Liu Xu stepped forward to support him, a little at a loss.
"Take care of your Brother Axuan, he is drunk." Ren Ke pulled her hand away, pinched her face lightly, and staggered out of the firewood room after giving instructions softly.
Jin Xing, who was guarding the door, saw him walking out, and whispered, "My lord, Chen Ran is here, and someone is following him, but it has been resolved."
After speaking, I realized that the master was not in the right state, his eyes were red, his neck was also red, and the veins became more prominent, as if he had fallen ill again.
Ren Ke: "No see."
Jin Xing said quickly, "I'll send him away right now."
The cool wind blew away some of his drunkenness, Ren Ke grabbed him, picked up the stick on the ground, and stumbled out.
Some things should be interrupted, and they will be disrupted.
The Liuyue Tower in the early morning was very quiet, the guests had already fallen asleep, and the girls also slept soundly.
Only Chen Ran stood alone in the lobby, Ren Ke approached slowly, found the nearest chair and sat down, holding his painful forehead.
Chen Ran hurriedly called him: "Master."
Ren Ke frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Facing his cold eyes, Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind to ask him: "I want to ask, do you want to fight against His Majesty?"
Thinking that it was a big deal for him to take the risk to find him, but it was such an obvious problem, Ren Ke lowered his head helplessly and sneered.
Looking at him with his head propped up, although Chen Ran was the one he saved, his aspirations were different from Qi Shan's.
He replied in a low voice: "Have I already been wanted by the government? It's me who won't fight against them, it's because they won't let me go."
Hearing this, Chen Ran was speechless and lowered his head.
It took him a long time to ask him in a deep voice: "Are you plotting against His Majesty?"
"Yes."
Ren Ke smiled and admitted generously that the stick he picked up was rubbed with his left hand. It should be a fire stick, and one end was so black that the color could not be seen.
Now Chen Ran has no problem at all. Before that, he knew very well how powerful the Lord is, and he knew that what he wanted to do would definitely be done. This was also the reason why he left Qi Shan.
This time in the capital, apart from killing those people, he deliberately set up a stall to practice medicine to make his reputation bigger, and His Majesty has no heirs so far, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that His Majesty is ill.
The Lord also specially asked him to flatter him, so that the Emperor knew that there was such a genius doctor as him.
But after seeing him, the emperor became irritable, he who never scolded the people around him began to scold, even the most trusted Eunuch Jiao was almost replaced several times.
And the noble concubine was inexplicably ill, and even the queen mother could not see her behind closed doors.
If it is said that all these things have nothing to do with the Lord, he will not believe it.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Ren Ke must have had his own thoughts, and stared at him with wide eyes, his eyes became unfathomable, "Do you remember what I told you last time?"
Chen Ran suddenly remembered what he said before, and stammered: "I remember, it's just..."
Ren Ke didn't give him time to come up with a reason, and approached him with a stick, Chen Ran trembled slightly but didn't hide or scream, closing his eyes and waiting for the trial.
"what!"
The fire stick slammed down from his knees, and Chen Ran suddenly knelt down, gritted his teeth and did not dare to shout, only dared to groan.
If the King of Hades does not die, his life will be worse than death. Even if the people around him have broken legs, he will do what he says.
Seeing the grim-faced man in pain on the ground, Ren Ke turned around to look at the place where the candlelight could not reach the hall, and said coldly:
"You are not from my Qi Shan family, so you don't need to flatter me, let alone come to see me, and you are not allowed to have any relationship with my Qi Shan sect servants in the future, and Qi Shan will never inquire about news from other places in the future."
Jin Xing on the side wanted to step forward to help someone but didn't dare, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Yes."
Chen Ran's forehead was dripping with sweat, his teeth were trembling, and he replied weakly: "Yes."
"It won't be teaching next time." Ren Ke's voice was as cold as winter ice, making people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
The fight was over, and the words that should be said were all said. Ren Ke walked forward, looked at the stairs that were getting higher and higher under his feet, and said softly:
"This is the path you choose, and you have to climb to the end."
The sky was gray and it was almost dawn.
Ren Ke dropped the stick and staggered back to the firewood room. Mu Xuan leaned on Liu Xu's shoulder and fell asleep.
Ren Ke walked over, held Liu Xu who was about to move, sat next to Mu Xuan, and gently moved his head to his shoulder.
Ren Ke raised his wine and asked her, "Do you drink?"
Liu Xu was slightly stunned, nodded reluctantly, took the wine jar he handed over, carefully raised her head and took a sip, frowning hotly, and quickly returned the wine.
Ren Ke turned to look at her, and a smile slowly appeared on that indifferent face, an indescribably wry smile.
He was about to drink, when the wine jar was held down by the little girl's jade hand, she looked at him eagerly, and reminded, "Brother, you can't drink."
"But, my brother will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't drink."
When Liu Xu heard what he said, her voice hit her heart softly but heavily. After decades, she would often think of Ren Ke like this. It turned out that her brother had hidden such a heavy thing in his heart.
But now the little girl seemed to understand, and only asked softly: "Is brother sick again?"
Ren Ke looked at the little girl's porcelain-white face, and remembered how many times he fell ill after Mu Xuan left, she was always by his side, begging him to live over and over again.
Without her, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy.
----
Early in the morning in the capital, it was widely rumored that Concubine Ning Guifei died suddenly. The emperor ignored the government affairs for a few days and couldn't eat.
Ren Ke ignored these half-truths and half-false rumors, and calmly poured tea for Mu Xuan.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Jin Xing was a little anxious, "My lord, now the capital is full of your wanted warrants, this time it's true."
Previous arrest warrants related to him took some effort to change the portrait, but this time it was true, it must have been Mu Zhurong himself who acted, the majestic nine-five-year-old, and his air is a little too small.
Mu Xuan looked up at him, and continued to watch the people coming and going downstairs. The owner who sells pears and the owner who sells vegetables have been arguing for almost half an hour because of the land boundary issue. Endless, you come and I go.
Jin Xing continued: "The capital will strictly investigate."
Ren Ke sat upright and wiped his sword, without raising his head, he said, "It's all right."
Jin Xing: "Su Feng came in person to see you."
Ren Ke was slightly taken aback, and continued to wipe his sword: "Please."
Hearing this, Mu Xuan consciously went to the inner room, and continued to lean against the window to watch the two bosses quarrel, and still bet in his heart that the boss selling pears would win, because when he went to buy pears last time, the boss praised him for his talent, so Based on this, he is obliged to be the pear boss.
From the outside, Su Feng hurried in, seeing Ren Ke's appearance as a wild crane, he suppressed his anger in his heart, he didn't even sit down, and said bluntly: "I came to you in person to tell you that it is no small matter to settle down in Beijing tomorrow. It’s best not to act rashly.”
Since Su Feng is the prime minister, there are many eyeliners and secret guards in the capital. Even if he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he can know a thing or two by relying on eyeliner and guesswork.
He came here specially, guessing that he had found something.
But Ren Ke is not worried about what he finds at all, and what can be found is no secret to him.
He glanced at the prime minister blowing his beard and staring, and replied calmly: "What are you afraid of, I won't let them die easily."
He is really stubborn, Su Feng paced back and forth: "Sooner or later, the Criminal Division will find you."
Ren Ke withdrew his sword, raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Will Prime Minister Su allow them to find me?"
Su Feng remained silent, and hurriedly left after warning him to act on his own.
When Mu Xuan came out from the inside, the two bosses had turned off the fire. The vegetable seller jumped his feet angrily, while the pear seller continued to yell calmly, without feeling uncomfortable in his voice because of the long quarrel.
Seeing him smiling, Ren Ke followed his gaze and asked, "Do you want to eat pears?"
Mu Xuan: "No, we'll have dinner in a while.
Both of them didn't say a word about being drunk, as if nothing happened, they just looked at each other occasionally, and they would suddenly quiet down.
From the very beginning, their thoughts were separated by a natural moat, and their choices were completely different.
Liu Xu knocked on the door and asked softly, "Brother? Are you there?"
Mu Xuan: "Come in."
The little girl gently opened the door, wearing a pink dress, standing at the door with a smile.
Mu Xuan exclaimed, "What day is it today? It looks so beautiful."
Liu Xu lowered her head slightly, and lifted her skirt in embarrassment, "Liuyuelou is closed today, I invite everyone to dinner."
Mu Xuan looked up at Ren Ke, but Ren Ke said that he didn't know about it.
"That's so embarrassing." Although Mu Xuan said he was embarrassed, he couldn't wait to see any embarrassment. Seeing that Ren Ke was still indifferent, he stretched out his hand and pulled him up.
"I guess they're all there."
Mu Xuan pulled Ren Ke, stood in the corridor and looked down. There was a big round table in the lobby, which was filled with a variety of food.
Jin Xing was setting the bowls and chopsticks, Ah Yan was sitting at the table, and Jin Xing ruthlessly stopped him when he was about to make a move, while the iceberg beauty Leng Yue leaned on the pillar and looked over, nodding slightly in greeting.
Mu Xuan tilted his head to look at the beautifully dressed Liu Xu, and blinked, "Isn't it Xiao Xu's birthday today?"
"It's not." After Liu Xu denied it, she carried her skirt and went downstairs.
In the past, at sunset at this moment, it was the time when Liuyue Tower started to be lively, but today there was no girl, only a few of them were left inside and out, very quiet.
The colored cloth in the lobby swayed slightly, Mu Xuan dragged Ren Ke downstairs, saw everyone was there, and felt a sense of tranquility in his life.
Seeing Ah Yan's eagerness to eat, Liu Xu quickly poured water for him, fearing that he would choke, and smiled softly, "Eat slowly, today's food is enough."
He remembered that in Qishan before, he devoured a meal, and almost got into a fight over ordering vegetables.
Mu Xuan smiled and picked vegetables for Ren Ke, and did not forget to pick a piece of meat for Liu Xu, "What wish does Xiao Xu have?"
Liu Xu blushed and defended, "They say it's not my birthday."
"Okay, okay, no, no." Mu Xuan followed her, handed Ah Yan a spoon to scoop up tofu, and continued, "Even if it's not, my brother will fulfill one of your wishes today."
Ren Ke also nodded, "It's all right."
Liu Xu thought for a while, looking at the family at the table, she didn't seem to have any wishes, if it was really possible, she hoped that the second uncle and the others could be there.
It's just that it's a delusion.
The little girl thought for a long time, and her thoughts became more and more depressed. Jin Xing scooped up a bowl of soup for her, and said softly, "It's okay, if you can't think of it, you owe it first. Whenever you have a wish, the Lord will grant it."
Liu Xu stopped thinking about it and re-entered the joy of serving food for everyone.
Mu Xuan and A Yan's eyes were full of food, and they made eye contact from time to time when they sat together. Leng Yue and Jin Xing had a few drinks if they could, but only Ren Ke and Liu Xu were calmer.
"Ah Yan, don't just eat vegetables, you drink this soup, it's very fresh!"
Mu Xuan recommended it wholeheartedly, and Ah Yan freed his hand to scoop up a bowl of dumpling soup. He took a sip with a satisfied face, and nodded at him, recommending reciprocally, "Try this shrimp, it's very delicious."
The kid hasn't read any books, and when he describes something delicious, he just looks serious and delicious, without any adjectives.But he was very sincere, and he put it in a bowl for him. If he was not too busy eating, he should have peeled the shrimp shells for him.
Mu Xuan glanced at it, continued to eat the braised pork, and hummed, "I'll eat it later."
Hearing this, Ren Ke next to him shook his sleeves, took the prawns in his bowl, peeled them for him leisurely, and put them back into his bowl.
Liu Xu looked enviously, propped her head to look at them, and sighed softly, "Brother Ren is so kind to Brother Xuan."
Since Ren Ke called Mu Xuan "A Xuan" last time, Liu Xu also changed "Brother Qijiu" to "Brother Xuan".
The little girl was full of envy, so Ren Ke reluctantly peeled a few shrimps for him and gagged her.
The lobby was brightly lit, it was not as tense as Qi Shan's that time, this time it was all in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, and maybe Qi Shan was too nervous that time.
Leng Yue and Jin Xing were drinking, and suddenly they slapped the table and got up, pointed at Mu Xuan and shouted, "Aren't you dead?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, Jin Xing couldn't pull it back no matter what, she threw it away suddenly, and rushed in front of him with the wine glass.
Mu Xuan swallowed the meat in his mouth, and looked up at her with a greasy face.
I have never seen a Bingshan beauty so free and easy. Mu Xuan wiped his mouth, but before he wiped it clean, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar. The beauty approached him and asked, "Tell me, when will you comb my hair!"
"..."
This girl turned out to be a real reflection arc!
Ren Ke pulled her hand away and straightened Mu Xuan's collar, "Leng Yue, don't make trouble."
Hearing this, Leng Yue became aggrieved, dropped the wine glass at once, and said in mourning, "You liar, why did you disappear for so long! I always thought my month was the moon's month!"
Everyone: "..."
Mu Xuan really didn't expect that he was so harmful, let alone that the creditor was so narrow-minded.
Leng Yue got so angry that she even pulled out the whip, but instead of throwing it at Mu Xuan, she threw it at Ren Ke, who raised his hand to hold his whip.
Bingshan beauty said angrily: "You almost killed my savior!"
Ren Ke: "..."
Liu Xu quickly went to support the rickety man, a little at a loss, "Sister Leng Yue, you are drunk, let me help you to rest."
Thanks to Muxuan, they saw a completely different Leng Yue.
Ren Ke: "A Yan, take Leng Yue to rest."
Ah Yan: "Well, I don't have time." The child only has food in his eyes, and he doesn't care what happens to them. Even if there is a fight, he will still eat, unless he overturns his dining table.
Ren Ke is the master of Qishan Mountain, and all the subordinates are not obeying discipline at all, and feel a little embarrassed for a while.
Mu Xuan didn't have any eyesight at all, so he laughed so hard that his back hurt and he held his arm for support.
Usually, there are five people and six people, calling the wind and rain, but now no one can do it.
Jin Xing: "I'll go."
So Liu Xu and Jin Xing dragged away Leng Yue who was clamoring to kill Ren Ke.
"Let go of me, I'm going to kill him!"
Jin Xing couldn't bear to cover her mouth, already feeling embarrassed that she would wake up tomorrow.
There were three people left in the lobby, Ah Yan continued to eat his food, Mu Xuan couldn't straighten up laughing, Ren Ke stared at him with downcast eyes.
Suddenly picked him up, went straight to the room, and threw him on the bed, Mu Xuan couldn't laugh in an instant, and apologized sincerely.
Ren Ke: "Is it funny?"
Mu Xuan: "It's not funny at all."
Ren Ke leaned over slightly, inserted his fingers into his hair, kissed his brow, and told him softly, "Leng Yue followed me because of you."
Mu Xuan pushed him away, wondering, "Because I saved her then?"
"Yes." Ren Ke gradually went down, and was about to bite down, Mu Xuan raised his foot against him, not letting him approach, "Does she know that Qi Shan was me that time?"
"Maybe I guessed it."
His existence is a metaphysics, it's hard for Leng Yue to believe it.
Ren Ke lay sideways beside him, raising his hand to hug him.
Mu Xuan pushed him away unceremoniously, got off the bed and went straight to the door without giving him a chance.
There was a lot of noise about Anjia's move to Beijing, and the owners of the stalls on the street were all talking about it.
Mu Xuan held the jade pendant up to the sunlight to look at it. The jade pendant had a lot of impurities, but it was in a crescent shape and looked like a glowing moon in the sunlight.
The bustling grocery store owner who was chatting with the stall next door suddenly came to his senses and greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother, this jade pendant is very good, please bring one."
Mu Xuan put down his hands, behind him was the pear seller, he had a quarrel with the vegetable seller yesterday, but today he reconciled, and the two of them chatted with each other in full swing.
The boss asked, "Brother, do you want to buy it?"
Mu Xuan put down the jade pendant and turned to buy pears.
"Hey, little brother is here. I haven't seen you for a few days. It's still Yushu Linfeng, so romantic." Boss Li spoke very sweetly. Mu Xuan was in a happy mood and reached out to Ren Ke for money.
"Ten catties, send it to Liuyuelou."
Hearing this, the boss smiled happily.
Ren Ke honestly gave the money, and then wandered around with him.
An's family was received by Yi Wang, and many celebrities were hosted by Yi Wang's mansion to welcome An's family.
Mu Xuan led him straight to the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, seeing the endless stream of people, who had to show their invitation cards when entering the mansion, it was not easy to get in.
Mu Xuan swaggered and pulled him closer, but as expected, he was stopped by the servant. Under Ren Ke's gaze, he calmly took out an invitation from his bosom and handed it to the servant.
After reading it, the boy let it go without asking any more questions. Ren Ke looked at him in surprise.
"It's a painting." Mu Xuan told him secretly, with a proud face, "I asked Ah Yan to steal one and imitate it."
No wonder Ren Ke lowered his eyes slightly after being with Ah Yan for so long last night, and adjusted his mask.
Mu Xuan was going to the bathroom, Ren Ke was waiting for him in the aisle, and two servants walked up to him, and suddenly knocked off his mask as they passed by him.
Because there are portraits of him everywhere, Mu Xuan drew blue marks when he went out, and temporarily used the name of a genius doctor, which made things easier.
He guessed that Mu Zhurong would not be so stupid as to tell anyone that the one who treated him was the King of Hades.
The boy who played tricks on him didn't expect the face under the mask to be so ugly, so he was startled and cursed: "You monster doesn't have eyes when you walk, who are you trying to scare to death!"
There is no need for a sword to deal with this kind of ants, the throwing knife on his cuff is ready, and a girl appeared out of nowhere, aggressively pushing the two boys away.
Protecting him behind him very domineeringly, he yelled at the boy: "How can you bully others! It is clearly the person you met, please apologize to him!"
The two servants seemed to be very afraid of the little girl, and quickly apologized respectfully: "I'm sorry."
Seeing that he was forced to apologize helplessly, Ren Ke lowered his eyes slightly and ignored him.
The two boys were chased away, the little girl picked up the mask on the ground and returned it to him, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Ren Ke shook his head, and was stopped by her when he was about to leave. She took out a handkerchief and opened it with a smile on her face, "This is the jujube cake I secretly took, and I will share half with you."
There were a few pastries that were about to fall apart, Ren Ke looked at her with a slight frown.
"Are you dumb?"
The girl asked suspiciously, and Ren Ke said, "No."
Hearing him speak, the little girl seemed very happy, and then she showed doubts: "Then why don't you speak?"
Seeing her being happy for a while and puzzled for a while, the mood between her brows changed as if she had changed her face. It was the same as when Liu Xu guarded him for a long time and suddenly heard him speak, so she couldn't help but smile.
Seeing him smile, the little girl was even happier, "You look so pretty when you smile."
After speaking, without waiting for Ren Ke to react, he dragged him away on his own initiative, "It's too noisy inside, let's go for a walk."
He looked back, just in time to see Mu Xuan leaning against the wall, smiling and waving to himself, signaling for himself to rest assured, he frowned slightly, and didn't struggle anymore.
Ren Ke was really dragged all the way. Seeing the back of her head, he tried to knock her out countless times or failed, but every time she wanted to do it, she talked to him with a smile and dragged him on the street. Fleeing around, interrupted his chance to make a move.
And Mu Xuan followed him unhurriedly, coughing and stopping him whenever he made any abnormal movements.
The little girl looked at this and that for a while, and finally stopped for a while before a mask vendor.
She kept showing him the mask, Ren Ke looked at himself in the mirror before going out, the bruises on his face were very ferocious, and after walking all the way just now, everyone who saw him had a look of disgust and fear in their eyes, but However, this little girl kept pulling him.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The little girl raised her head and looked directly at the blue marks on his face, the red was faintly black, as if he was born with it or as if it was acquired.
She blinked her watery eyes, and replied without thinking: "It looks scary, but if you don't hurt me, I won't be afraid. As long as you're not a bad person, I won't be afraid."
Mu Xuan was behind them, listening to these words, burst out laughing, she is really an inexperienced little girl, and the word "bad guy" can't be written on the bad guy's face.
Ren Ke glanced at him sideways, snatched the mask from his hand, put it on casually and asked, "What's your name?"
The little girl smiled and said, "My name is Li Huan."
Ren Ke frowned slightly, but his surname was Li.
Li Huan stepped on his feet and looked into his eyes, feeling like there were stars in them, and asked, "Then what's your name?"
Ren Ke's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't want to answer, turned around and left, Li Huan jumped up and down behind him, "You look older than me, since you won't tell me your name, then I will call you brother from now on."
He suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her gloomyly, "I don't need my sister."
Only Xiao Xu is his sister.
He forcibly sent Li Huan back to Prince Yi's mansion and left, but was stopped by someone on the way, and it was the lingering Hengshan disciple Mo Wen.
Mo Wen's eyes were cold, and he said in a warning tone: "You can't hurt her!"
"She" must be referring to Li Huan, Ren Ke frowned slightly and sneered, "That depends on whether you have the ability to protect her!"
Their eyes were facing each other, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the swords in their hands were clenched tighter and tighter.
"You really linger! You don't have the eldest lady to protect you now. I will see where you go, and I will kill you."
The sudden bluff broke the silence. It was the boy who had been chased away by Li Huan before. He rushed towards Ren Ke angrily, as if he was determined not to give up until he was beaten to death.
Ren Ke didn't move his feet, he swung the knife in his left sleeve and stabbed the young servant's wrist, causing him to scream in pain.
Seeing this, Mo Wen's eyes became indifferent, and he suppressed his anger.
Ren Ke was expressionless, "Is everyone from Hengshan here?"
"what are you going to do!"
"Naturally... kill people! Set fire!"
He lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the murderous look in his eyes, and the cold air permeated the whole body of the decent disciple.
The air around the two of them was half frozen, no murderous intent was better than murderous intent.
Ren Ke moved first, but instead of drawing his sword, he tiptoed lightly and floated towards the roof like a bamboo leaf.
Mo Wen's eyes were piercing, and he shouted at him: "I won't let you succeed."
His tone was confident, and Ren Ke's eyes didn't change when he heard his words.
That being the case, let's face each other with swords and swords from that day on.
Mu Xuan was biting the candied haws, and when he saw him coming over the wall, he was slightly taken aback, "The appointment is over?"
"why?"
"The little girl saved your life, you can't be grateful."
Ren Ke snatched his candied haws angrily, and held it up high, even if he stood on tiptoe, he couldn't grab it.
The street was dimly lit, Mu Xuan couldn't get it back, so he simply gave it to him, and joked, "It seems that the little girl is not beautiful enough, you don't like it!"
Hearing this, Ren Ke hugged the person on the footsteps, hid the candied haws behind his back, and bit his ear viciously, "Stop messing around."
Mu Xuan covered his ears and stayed away from him, "You belong to a dog!"
Ren Ke looked at his flushed face, so angry
