Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 569: Thousands of years of past events

Xue Mu woke up in Mu Jianli's arms early the next morning.

He actually fell asleep listening to the music. Girls, you looked at me and had to retreat quietly. Mu Jianli sat quietly in the hall, holding him in his arms all night.

When he opened his eyes, he directly met Mu Jianli's eyes looking at him, bright and clear. Xue Mu also felt a little embarrassed and stood up: "Are you going to sit like this all night?"

Mu Jianli smiled slightly: "It's just meditating. I'm happy to see you sleeping soundly."

After a pause, his face turned slightly red: "Originally, I thought it was ridiculous to accompany you last night. I had quietly agreed with Qianxue... But I think you look better when you are sleeping peacefully."

These words revealed that she had been meditating all night, and she had clearly been looking at his face all night.

Xue Mu held her hand and whispered: "Things are complicated and I can't spend more time with you..."

Mu Jianli smiled and shook his head: "I am a swordsman. I don't have to be accompanied by anyone. As long as I can see you often, I will be happy. Now that the sect is stable, I don't have to be tied to death in the sect. Yes, as long as I don’t go out for too long, I just need to go back regularly to handle things, and I can see you often in the future.”

The meaning of these words made Xue Mu very happy.

It was beyond his expectation that Lin Wuya would choose to pass on Mu Jianli. Originally, in his heart, he did not want Mu Jianli to be confined to die in the sect. It was Mu Jianli who was the one to show off his sword in the world... But in front of her, he could only encourage and help, but he could not sing the opposite tune. . Now that I heard that she could be relieved, I felt really happy.

It's true to say that the Wenjian Sect has been a famous family for thousands of years and has its own rules. As long as you are not like Lin Wuya who ignores everything and causes chaos, normal management does not require you to stay there every day and cannot leave. Otherwise, what else would the sect master be practicing... Mu Jianli managed the sect smoothly for half a year, and the sect returned. On the right track, it's natural to be free now.

Mu Jianli asked again: "Sister Qingqing said that you besieged Shentu in Yunzhou?"

"Well, on the surface it looks like both body and soul are dead, but Weiye said she felt something was wrong..."

"When it comes to the practice of Shentu Sin, there will always be some tricks to suppress the situation. I'm afraid it is really not dead." Mu Jianli said thoughtfully: "Xue Mu, you have to be more careful. There has never been a strong man of this level who is willing to die with you." , and now there is.”

Xue Mu nodded. In the past, whether they offended the emperor or the cavers, they had many fears and did not want to incur unbearable consequences, so they all acted within the minimum bottom line rules. A person like Shen Tu Zui will not care about the consequences. Once he has the strength to strike again, it will definitely be a terrorist attack without any rules.

Mu Jianli stood up, straightened his collar, and said softly: "Do you remember Tianji Icefield?"

Xue Mu was stunned: "Huh?"

"The thousand-mile glaciers in the Tianji Icefield are not just vertical. They are layered below with unknown depth, and there are many ruins. The interior is extremely vast. The three parties of the Haitian Pavilion Zonghengdao Sword Casting Valley have jointly explored for half a year, but they have only been able to explore the tip of the iceberg. They want to explore all the icebergs. It may take more than ten years to get a glimpse."

"Of course I know this. When it comes to this suddenly, are you asking the Sword Sect to have a hand in it?"

"That place does not belong to them. Originally, Wanzai Xuanbing was broken by you and me. Now that the situation is stable, the elders of the sect have proposed many times, not for resources, but just to train the disciples' martial arts practice. It’s good. Besides, there are ancient beasts under the glacier, which have injured many people. This is also related to us, so we can’t just sit back and ignore it.”

Xue Mu sighed: "After all, it turns out you were saying goodbye to me."

Mu Jianli shook his hand: "I'm just reporting to you. If you don't let me go, I won't leave. I'll just accompany you and let them go."

Xue Mu helplessly rubbed her head: "Forget it, I never want to be bound by you. Do you remember what I said? A woman like Mu Jianli should be in the rivers and lakes and bloom the most beautiful brilliance. , this grand stage of thousands of miles of glaciers, isn’t it the place where you will flourish? Besides, I have a hunch that maybe I will have to go to the ice field again in the future. I always feel that there is something hidden in it..."

Mu Jianli asked curiously: "Do you have a premonition?"

"Hmm..." Xue Mu whispered: "I haven't mentioned this to anyone else... I asked Jianzong if he goes, pay more attention to the depths, whether there are any traces of evil spirits... I have always suspected that if this thing exists, either in Beyond the far sea, it's either at the bottom of the desert or... deep in the ice sheet."

Mu Jianli's body shook slightly and she held the sword hilt tightly.

At this moment, Zhuo Qingqing knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, someone from the palace invites you to come into the palace."

Xue Mu said: "Queen Mother?"

"No, it's the emperor."

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, and Mu Jianli immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

Even Ji Qingyuan had never summoned Xue Mu before. Under normal circumstances, he would not go to see him if he was summoned. Otherwise, who would cry out to someone when swordsmen and axemen poured out from behind the tent? Mu Jianli's first reaction was to accompany him, which was natural.

On the way into the palace, Xue Mu was still pondering. Ji Wuyou suddenly summoned him. This was a bit strange. The two sides were at odds with each other to this extent. What else could be seen? But it's not very reliable to rely on this to kill him. When has Ji Wuyou ever done something so obvious?

But this made Xue Mu very curious. He also wanted to meet Ji Wuyou and see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

No matter what, preparations had to be made. Zhuo Qingqing entered directly from the side door of the inner palace and sneaked into Cining Palace first, ready to respond at any time. With Eunuch Li included, everything was safe, and Xue Mucai entered the palace hand in hand with Mu Jianli.

Ji Wuyou's summons was in the imperial study room. Xue Mu strode outside the palace, and an internal guard blocked the way: "Master Mu, please stop."

Without saying a word, Mu Jianli unsheathed his sword, the cold sword energy resting on the inner guard's neck, his eyes like frost.

The inner guard was sweating profusely, this is the royal study room of the palace! Do you Jianghu sects know this?

Xue Mu said calmly: "If you want to meet, you must be sincere, otherwise you will turn around and leave, and everyone will pass on the message."

Ji Wuyou's seemingly funny voice came from the royal study: "Let Marquis Changxin and Marquis Wenjian enter the palace."

Mu Jianli sheathed her sword and followed Xue Mu in without saying a word.

Ji Wuyou sat on the throne and watched the memorial. There were many internal guards on the left and right, and there were countless shadow guards in the dark. It is conceivable that he was also afraid that Xue Mu would let Mu Jianli do the assassination without following the rules.

Xue Mu stood still in front of him, and Ji Wuyou dropped the memorial. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Ji Wuyou suddenly smiled: "Please sit down."

Xue Mu took Mu Jianli and sat down on the side, and said leisurely: "I thought Your Majesty was going to ask why you didn't kneel."

Ji Wuyou said casually: "It has been a rule for thousands of years that the eight righteous sects do not kneel before the emperor. This is the example of Marquis Changxin."

"Tsk..." Xue Mu sighed: "Your ancestors left some troublesome things for your descendants."

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "It's good that Marquis Chang Xin understands. However, this matter cannot be blamed on our ancestors. In order to settle down the world, he made some concessions to the eight powerful men, which is what the current situation has to do."

Xue Mu said: "As far as I know, Taizu can be said to be a powerful suppressor for a lifetime, so why did he not take advantage of the situation to wipe out the world, but had to make concessions and leave hidden dangers for thousands of years?"

"Because he was injured in the battle with the ancestor of your sect, let alone suppressing the world, he didn't live for a few years afterwards." Ji Wuyou explained calmly: "The most troublesome thing for a hero is that there are conflicts between brothers in this world. Rivals cause trouble everywhere. But if there is no such person, I feel lonely. "

Xue Mu suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, does it sound like you are talking about yourself?"

Ji Wuyou also smiled: "You can think so, but I haven't felt lonely yet. I'm still at the stage where I think my opponent is too much of a hindrance."

Xue Mu leisurely said: "Actually, this kind of contradiction can have both sides."

"Oh? Why have both?"

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, except one male and one female."

Ji Wuyou looked at Mu Jianli and suddenly laughed loudly: "It's a pity that although there was a male and a female back then, it's a pity that our ancestors didn't have the ability of Chang Xinhou to deal with women."
