Chapter 74

After returning to Haiyue Villa, not long after, the servant from Zuiyue Tower brought over the food and wine.Su Hailing didn't want to disturb the cleanliness of Mu Qingchen Courtyard, so he ordered them to be placed in the Flower Hall.

After a few people used the water glass, Su Hailing asked someone to remove it, and replaced it with fruit tea.

"Miss Su's tea is really good." Lan Qinshuang said with a smile.

"There is nothing good, but you have been in the border for a long time, so everything is good." Su Hailing said, while peeling apples for Mu Qingchen beside him, not letting Mu Xin do anything.

Having been robbed of her job, Mu Xin pouted, so she had to carry Xuexue to the side, brought a bunch of green jasper grapes, and fed the little guy one by one.

Seeing them chatting and laughing happily, Shui Li didn't seem anxious at all, but she sat like a needle pricking more and more, wanted to speak a few times, but made up her mind.

I chatted with Lan Qinshuang for a while about the interesting things about the border and the local customs. Seeing that I had done enough, Su Hailing finally brought back the topic: "Forget it, there are still important things to do. Tell me, how did you offend His Highness Wang An?" She even sent out her most powerful chief executive."

"I, I came to Dayong with my sister's envoy." Shui Li bit her lip and said.

"Shuiran's messenger?" Su Hailing's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly.

"Didn't it mean that Her Majesty the Queen is seriously ill? Why would the Night Illusion Clan send an envoy at this time." Lan Qinshuang wondered.

"The envoy is not going to see Empress Dayong." Shui Li shook his head.

"Could it be His Highness King An?" Lan Qinshuang's heart skipped a beat.

"No, it's King Jin." Su Hailing said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Shui Li looked at her in shock.

"That's right!" Lan Qinshuang clapped her hands and said with a smile, "If it were King An, you wouldn't be here now. I've always heard that Suiran is capable, but in 20 years he managed all the grasslands clearly. If you think about it, you can see the situation of Dayong clearly. How can the icing on the cake compare to giving charcoal in the snow?"

"That's the reason." Su Hailing turned his head, looked Shui Li up and down with harsh eyes, nodded and said, "It seems that you are a gift from Shuiran to King Jin?"

"I'm a human being, not a gift!" Shui Li gritted her teeth and slapped the table, causing the teacup and fruit saucer to dance.

Mu Qingchen was poking a piece of apple with a bamboo stick, when he was shocked, the apple fell on the table, stained with a trace of tea stains.He snorted coldly, and when he raised his hand, the bamboo stick shot out like a steel needle. Although it couldn't hurt people without infusion of internal force, the sharp thorn on the skin still made Shui Li scream.

Su Hailing smiled lightly, took another apple and peeled it.

"How did you escape, and how did you offend King An?" Seeing this, Lan Qinshuang glanced at her enviously, then turned to Shui Lifa and asked.

"I..." Shui Li lowered her head, as if she was thinking about how to express herself.

"Put away your little thoughts as soon as possible." Su Hailing's attention was on the apple in his hand, but he suddenly interjected, "I said, you are still too tender."

"My attendant pretended to be me, so I slipped out quietly." Shui Li stared at her fiercely, but was discouraged to find that her eyes did not fall on him at all, so she could only say, "As for what King An , I have never seen it!"

"Then you don't know the woman who arrested you just now?" Lan Qinshuang said.

"If you don't know, you don't know, I didn't lie to you!" Shui Li said.

"She wants to arrest you, there must be some reason?" Lan Qinshuang said.

"I wanted to go the hard way and avoid the person my sister sent to chase me. Unexpectedly, I met this bad guy just after entering Xijing today." Shui Li said, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, "I heard she said If you want to arrest me and return to the capital, there is nothing else."

"Yang Wan!" Su Hailing raised his voice.

"What is the owner's order?" Yang Wan immediately appeared at the entrance of the flower hall.

"Arrange a place for him to stay temporarily, so that he can entertain him." Su Hailing pointed to Shui Li and said.

"Yes, young master, this way." Yang Wan nodded.

Shui Li looked at Su Hailing, jumped off the chair, tensed her face, and followed Yang Wan without saying a word.

"It seems that King An's eyes and ears are really good." Lan Qinshuang said thoughtfully.

Su Hailing smiled, smashed the sliced ​​apples into a crystal plate, inserted a few bamboo sticks, and put them in Mu Qingchen's hands.

"It's getting late, I should go home too." Lan Qinshuang put away her folding fan and stood up.

"The gate is over there, so I'm sorry to see you off." Su Hailing said "Oh", and pointed her in the direction, but he didn't even move his body.

"Focus on sex and despise friends!" Lan Qinshuang looked at Mu Qingchen with a calm and indifferent face, sighed exaggeratedly on purpose, and staggered out.

Su Hailing thought it was the wind in his ears, and with a smile picked up a small piece of apple and fed it into Mu Qingchen's mouth.

The white head is as new as before, and the cover is as old as before.

For some people, heart-to-heart communication is only for a moment.

Perhaps Lan Qinshuang would not give her loyalty so easily, but at the very least, she has already regarded her as a friend and a confidant.

Keep talking about loyalty and loyalty, feelings... Naturally, it won't be useless at all.

"It's rare to see you so happy." Mu Qingchen said suddenly.

"Yes." There was warmth in Su Hailing's eyes.

It has been three and a half years since she came to this world, and Lan Qinshuang is still her first real friend.

"What are you going to do with that water glass?" Mu Qingchen asked while enjoying her service generously.

"Let's take care of it first." Su Hailing shrugged, and said indifferently, "If that Shuiran was really so talented, he wouldn't think about the life or death of a younger brother, let alone...it was just a gift."

"I think he's a little leopard, don't get bitten." Mu Qingchen said.

"Hehe..." Su Hailing chuckled, "Even if it's really a leopard, I still have a way to tame him into a well-behaved cat!"

Mu Qingchen gave her a blank look, got up and stretched: "I'm sleepy."

"What time is this?" Su Hailing was taken aback, "You've been getting more and more lethargic recently, have you taken care of your body?"

"Didn't you drink the daily medicine?" Mu Qingchen said angrily.

"Young master is not in good health? What's the matter?" Mu Xin walked over with Xuexue in his arms.

Su Hailing opened his mouth and finally let out a sigh.

"I'm going back to sleep first, don't make trouble with me, I'm tired." Mu Qingchen warned.

"Well, Mu Xin is by your side. It's cold, so be careful." Su Hailing nodded.

I met Lan Qinshuang by accident tonight, many plans have to be changed accordingly, I am afraid that I will not be able to rest until very late, naturally it is not good to wake up Mu Qingchen, so I can only rest in another courtyard.

Watching Mu Xin leave with Mu Qingchen, Su Hailing rubbed his temples, and walked to the study resignedly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Yang Wan hurrying over.

"What's wrong?" Su Hailing stepped forward and asked.

"Master, a masked man in black came outside, claiming to be your old friend." Yang Wan frowned.

"Have you tried his martial arts?" Su Hailing said knowingly.

"My subordinates are ashamed." Yang Wan said with some embarrassment.

"Forget it, you are not his opponent at all." Su Hailing smiled and walked towards the gate.

As soon as she heard Yang Wan's description, she knew who was here. This person was really punctual...

"It's just a man." Yang Wan said unconvinced.

"He is the current Palace Master of Xuanming Palace." Su Hailing said, "Go and sort out Zixiang Pavilion, let Palace Master Mei live in it."

"Yes……"

No longer caring about the stunned Yang Wan, Su Hailing stepped briskly to welcome the door, and saw a man in black standing in the shadow of the lights under the steps, with a veil on his face, which made her startled: " Junhan, why are you wearing this Laoshizi thing?"

Mei Junhan blinked, raised her hand and took off her veil, revealing a handsome face.

"Come in and talk." With a warm light in Su Hailing's eyes, he turned his head and ordered his servants to lead the horse to the back and send the simple luggage to Zixiang Pavilion.

"Master, what is this?" Just after walking a few steps, the servant behind him exclaimed.

Su Hailing was startled, turned around to look, and saw a long black cloth bag draped across the horse's back, but he didn't know what was in it, and it was still moving.

"This is a gift from me to your owner, carry it in carefully so as not to damage it." Mei Junhan said with a smile on his lips.

Su Hailing could see clearly, knowing that there was a big living person in the cloth bag, but he couldn't help being even more strange.

"It's winter, can't you be the host and greet the guests at the gate?" Mei Junhan said.

"Stop talking, come in!" Su Hailing gave him a blank look, and led the way ahead, while asking curiously, "The gates of the city are closed at this time, how did you get in?"

"Use this to call." Mei Junhan said, throwing a token over casually.

"Prince An's Mansion?" Su Hailing was stunned, and then came to his senses, and said with a smile, "You met Yang Jue, and you arrested her?"

"I was galloping on the official road in the middle of the night and almost knocked me into the air. How could I let her go like this?" Mei Junhan said.

"Are you okay?" Su Hailing was slightly startled, and turned around.

"What can I do?" Mei Junhan curled her lips and said disdainfully, "How dare you be so arrogant with such three-legged kung fu, you want to die."

Su Hailing shook his head and rolled his eyes secretly.

With Yang Jue's martial arts, she naturally has the capital to be arrogant, but unfortunately she met a more perverted opponent.

"But thanks to her, I was not asked to sleep outside the city for one night." Mei Junhan said again.

While talking, the two had already arrived at Zixiang Pavilion.

Yang Wan's movements were very quick. In just a short while, the brand-new bedding and bed curtains were all laid out, and the charcoal fire in the room was burning vigorously, and the room was full of spring.

"Sit down." Su Hailing said, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "After all, it's cold, it's good to drive away the cold."

"En." Mei Junhan took the teacup, but couldn't help but fell silent.

As soon as the door was closed, under the glowing candle shadows, there were only two people left alone, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's the matter? Is it possible that the dignified Palace Master Mei is still shy?" Su Hailing joked with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Mei Junhan almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and glared at her angrily.

Su Hailing couldn't help being stunned when he saw his reaction. Mei Junhan, who never paid attention to etiquette, seemed to have changed a lot this time.

"Where's Mu Qingchen?" Mei Junhan broke the strange atmosphere in the room.

"He's sleepy, go back to sleep first." Su Hailing said.

"Sleeping?" Mei Junhan was taken aback, and asked inexplicably, "What time is it?"

"He has been lethargic these days." Su Hailing said with some concern, "Jun Han, you are also a martial arts practitioner. His body...is it really impossible to return to its original state? I would rather give him back all his strength." .”

"You think you can pay it back if you want?" Mei Junhan frowned, "His unlucky Jade Heart Meridian, the meridians all over his body are misplaced, it is impossible to withstand a little bit of internal force impact. If you want to rebuild martial arts, you must first To restore his meridian to its original state, but even his own and Situ Ye's medical skills can't do it, what can I do?"

"What if there is an exquisite golden tripod?" Su Hailing said.

"We'll talk about it when you can really find it." Mei Junhan said, taking out another envelope from his pocket and putting it on the table, "This is a few eyeliners of my Xuanming Palace in Dayong, burn them after you memorize them." gone."

"Okay." Su Hailing took out the letter paper, saw only a few places and people's names written on it, secretly remembered it in his heart, then put the letter paper on the candle and burned it to ashes.

"Even if Yang Jue is captured, I'm afraid Su Yuling will still find Xijing. What are you going to do?" Mei Junhan said.

"I dare to openly show up in Haiyue Villa, so I'm not afraid of her looking for me." Su Hailing smiled, "She dare not reveal my identity to the world, because once my identity is confirmed, and the Queen dies, no matter what Whether she is willing or not, I am the most qualified person to inherit the throne. Therefore, she can only be Princess Ruiqing and is dead."

"Your identity cannot be announced. If you want to deal with you, you will naturally need a crime that can be explained to the world." Mei Junhan thought deeply.

"That's right, as long as Wei Wei can get the military power of the Lan family, Su Yuling will go to most of the support." Su Hailing said.

"Didn't you do a good job?" Jun Han raised his eyebrows, "When I came here, I saw Lan Qinshuang going out from here from a distance. With your ability, as long as you do what you like, you still have to worry about not letting her be used by you. ?”

"As she likes?" Su Hailing sneered, "She likes Qingchen!"

"What?" Mei Junhan froze for a moment.

"I have become friends with her, but it's far from enough to win over the entire Lan family." Su Hailing sighed, and said helplessly, "But what she likes is something I can't afford."

Seeing her gnashing her teeth, as if she had knocked over the jar of vinegar, Mei Junhan couldn't help laughing, and said after a while, "Then what are your plans now?"

"Jun Han, after the Lantern Festival, accompany me to the Wu Nian Sword Sect." Su Hailing said suddenly

"Okay." Mei Junhan nodded and agreed, "I was also thinking about seeing that Murong Zi again."

"I have a feeling that she will give us a big surprise." Su Hailing said.

"I hope it's a surprise, not a fright." Mei Junhan let out a long sigh of relief.

"You..." Su Hailing looked at him for a while, wanting to ask himself what happened after he fell into a coma that day, but for some reason, he couldn't open his mouth.

Asked Mu Qingchen, he only knew that he passed out after taking the poison, and when he woke up, he was already in the farmhouse at the foot of the Qingnian Mountains. As for how they got out of the mountain, he was also at a loss.

There was a faint feeling in her heart, among which... she seemed to have missed something.

"You want to say..." Mei Junhan said impatiently. Halfway through the sentence, his face suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, and shouted coldly, "Who is outside!"

Su Hailing was startled, and quickly rushed out of the window.

"Crash" only heard the sound of tiles breaking, but it was the people outside the house who saw that Xingzang had been leaked and wanted to escape through the roof, but they stepped on the tiles in a panic.

"Bold thief, dare to come to Haiyue Mountain Villa to act wild!" Yang Wan's cold voice sounded, and immediately there was the sound of fighting on the opposite roof.

Su Hailing and Mei Junhan walked out of the door and looked up, only to see Yang Wan wrestling with a black-clothed masked man, but the opponent seemed eager to get away, fighting and walking, there was no head-on collision at all.Although Yang Wan's martial arts were superior to him, he was really unable to win for a while.

"I'll go." Mei Junhan sneered.

"Catch them alive." Su Hailing said hastily.

"Nonsense!" Mei Junhan tipped her toes and went up to the roof without a sound, and slapped the back of the man's neck regardless of beating or sneak attack.

"Despicable!" The man in black scolded angrily, but after all, he was a little slower to dodge, and a black scarf fluttered down.

Under the moonlight, Su Hailing saw the man's face clearly, and couldn't help being stunned: "Why is it you!"

Mei Junhan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and unconsciously slowed down the killer move in his hand.

When the man in black saw this, how could he miss such a good opportunity, and the few ups and downs had disappeared without a trace.

Yang Wan was about to chase after him, but Su Hailing stopped him: "Forget it, let him go!"

"You know him?" Mei Junhan jumped off the ground, quite dissatisfied.

Su Hailing just stared blankly at the direction the person was leaving without speaking.

She would never admit that face by mistake, but...how could it be him...
