Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 165 Precious

Knowing that Meng Lan was about to leave soon, Lin Fan was locked in the City Lord's Mansion all day to paint Meng Lan's portraits, drawing more than a dozen of them in various shapes and costumes. Every time a picture is drawn, there are sisters from the Xingyue Sect to copy it and expand the number.

And Xue Mu also took advantage of this time to contact Wen Hao, racing against time. He planned to arrange for Wen Hao and a group of older generation masters from the Yanyang Sect to accompany him to the capital. The purpose was not only to protect Menglan, but also to exist as an "artist assistant team", responsible for composing, accompaniment, and doing some foreign negotiations for Menglan. various matters.

This is an intentional standardization and maturity of performing arts. After all, almost everyone in the Yanyang sect plays music, so a lot of resources are not used, and it is a waste to travel around the mountains and rivers all day long. Moreover, Wen Hao is still a veteran and strong man, although his strength has declined now, he is fully competent to protect Meng Lan, and he happens to be an old man, so he can use it with confidence.

And this task is quite in line with Wen Hao and his group's wishes. It is also their favorite music work, and it is also a "public-funded trip to Beijing". Everyone is happy.

Facts proved that Xue Mu's judgment was not wrong. All the preparations had just been completed, and Xia Houdi came to bid farewell early the next morning.

"Leave today?"

"Leave today."

During the short conversation, both sides stopped talking at the same time.

The two of them didn't talk any more about the task of exchanging Nanxia and Lunwu. The more they talked about it, the more embarrassing it would be for both sides. It's better to have a tacit understanding.

Because the nature of the matter is too delicate, since Xia Houdi is causing trouble for him and holding back Xingyuezong, but it also contains some women's grievances to vent? That sentence still lingers in my ears: You will help Xingyuezong think about it, why not help me think about it?

But after all, this can’t be talked about on the table, just treat it as a deal-Xue Mu completes the task, Xia Houdi supports Lingzhou to discuss martial arts, it’s as simple as that, don’t talk too much, just do it.

Anything else, let's be tacit.

"I'll see you off."

"Um."

The conversation became more and more simple, Xue Mu just walked side by side with Xia Houdi in silence, the two of them did not speak all the way.

No one knew that Meng Lan had also taken on a special task - she brought a copy of Anxiang San, and was going to hand it over to Xiao Ai, the sub-ruler of the capital, and hand it over to Concubine Liu Gui and Eunuch Li to attack Ji Qingyuan.

In the absence of other more suitable medicines, Xue Mu could only choose the dark fragrance powder which has disadvantages. I hope Ji Qingyuan is fine and don't be surprised.

Xue Mu's silence was not because of parting sorrow. Lingzhou is only more than 800 miles away from the capital, and no matter how inconvenient the transportation is, it will only take a few days. He is not so sentimental. The real reason was that he suddenly realized that the guy he was planning to poison was Xia Houdi's biological father.

No matter whether it is love and killing, or enemy or friend, it is a friend with very special feelings and associations. The relationship itself is already very delicate. This time, he is going to instigate the poisoning of her father. Delicate relationships pushed to the limit.

But he will not stop the plan hypocritically, because it was Ji Qingyuan who wanted to kill them first, and because of Ji Qingyuan's unfathomable intentions, it may cause great trouble in the future, and the correct solution is to cut them off. What's more, only when Ji Qingyuan is abolished can Xingyuezong's internal layout truly exert its terrifying effect.

No matter from which angle, he should not stop planning, he must tell himself that Xiahoudi is Xiahoudi, and Ji Qingyuan is Ji Qingyuan, don't confuse them.

But looking at Xia Houdi's slightly bewildered eyes, Xue Mu wanted to say something but was stuck in his throat all the time. He didn't know how to say a complete sentence, and thousands of words were finally reduced to two words: "Treasure."

Xia Houdi was really sad about parting. Seeing Xue Mu's abnormal behavior, she had some indescribable feelings in her heart. She obviously thought that Xue Mu was also saying goodbye. She also had a thousand words and didn't know how to say them. She stood quietly in the wind, let the mountain wind blow, stared at each other silently for a long time, and then replied: "Treasure."

Then he turned around, his cloak fluttering, and a phantom appeared in front of his eyes, like a dream.

Meng Lan bowed her head and followed behind. Xue Mu's thoughts, she can naturally understand with the dark fragrance powder in her bosom. She also secretly sighed in her heart, thinking about it in her own shoes, if she were a young master, she would really feel weird. Especially... after really poisoning Ji Qingyuan, will he be able to face Xia Houdi as calmly as he is now when he sees Xia Houdi in the future? Maybe when we meet again, it will be a great hatred. Thinking about the scene at that time makes people shake their heads.

Xue Mu stood on the hill, silently watching the people traveling far away, until the convoy sank into the sky and was covered by yellow sand, he still remained silent for a long time.

Zhuo Qingqing and the others stood behind him, and it took a long time to remind him in a low voice: "My lord, it's time to go back."

As personal guards, they knew more secrets than anyone else, and they knew exactly what Xue Mu was feeling depressed at this time.

Xue Mu sighed: "Qingqing, I kind of want to drink."

Zhuo Qingqing smiled slightly: "Then Qingqing is drinking with the young master."

Xue Mu looked into the distance, shook his head and said, "So sometimes I hate myself, because even if I want to drink, I don't want to get drunk, but have other purposes."

"Young Master, what do you mean...you want to find someone else to drink?"

"Um."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Zheng Haoran."

...

At this time, Zheng Haoran was extremely resentful towards Xinyizong, and he admired Xue Mu very much. He has always participated in the Xie Changsheng incident, and he knew very well that if Xue Mu hadn't discovered the problem in advance and caused it in advance, it is very likely that everyone will be killed this time. In this small bandit suppression, Xue Mu also saved everyone's life in disguise, including Zheng Haoran.

This made his affection for Xue Mu reach the peak. Seeing Xue Mu came to drink with him, he was in a good mood, and joked: "It's rare that Brother Xue actually looks so full of thoughts."

Xue Mu has always pretended to be internally injured, and it is not easy to have a rare opportunity to tease him.

In addition, the change from "City Lord Xue" to "Brother Xue" also highlights the close relationship at this time.

Xue Mu raised his head and gulped it down, sighed: "It's not a big concern, but as a normal person, there will always be a momentary emotion caused by certain things. We are not Wenjianzong who practiced himself into a sword. Broken look."

"That's right, brother Xue like this is much more alive." Zheng Haoran laughed and said, "You must have pretended to be tired before, including hitting me on purpose."

"Ha, you actually saw it."

Seeing him readily admitting it, Zheng Haoran didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Being a human being always calculates, and you are always tired. You might as well let go of your arms and get drunk for a while, and drink!"

The two drank a big bowl happily, Xue Mu wiped the corner of his mouth and laughed: "It's a pleasure. To be honest, I really haven't drank like this for a long time."

Zheng Haoran said: "Let me guess, the only thing that can make brother Xue feel bad today... is probably only the parting of Mr. Xiahou's arrest?"

Xue Mu sighed lightly: "You said, when people leave, they always say "cherishing", is it possible to meet again after cherishing it?"

Zheng Haoran shook his head: "I say I cherish it, but I look forward to reunion. However, the situation in the world is dangerous, and I say I cherish it, but the separation between heaven and man can be seen everywhere, so how can they be reunited?"

"So, if we really meet again, then we will become enemies?"

Zheng Haoran was stunned for a while before saying: "I thought what hurt you was the parting, but it turned out that what you were afraid of was the reunion."

Xue Mu was also taken aback, and then raised his glass in respect: "That's a good summary! Please make this statement clear!"
