Li Muchan shook his head and could only smile bitterly. It was really difficult to explain anything. He was indeed wrong about this matter. He should not have stayed in Dugu Mansion and caused such a big trouble.
"Okay, Brother Li, it's rare for you to come over, let's go out for a drink!" Dugu Heng stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Li Muchan did not force his way into the house, as there was no Dugu Jinghua inside. He turned around and followed Dugu Heng out of Dugu Mansion and walked along the street.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the entire Tianjing Master was bathed in the glow. Facing such beautiful scenery, Li Muchan had no thoughts and a heavy heart.
Dugu Heng said: "Brother Li, it's actually nothing. My aunt said that she should have died a long time ago. In an ordinary family, she would have been reincarnated many years ago. She might have grown up now. She is satisfied with being able to live secretly for so long.
, nothing extravagant to ask for.”
The two of them were walking side by side on the street. There were people coming and going around and it was very lively. However, Li Muchan's heart was extremely lonely and empty. Dugu Jinghua's delicate jade face flashed in front of his eyes.
Li Muchan sighed: "Brother Dugu, what disease does Miss Jinghua have?"
"It's the original disease, but now it's recurred." Dugu Heng said.
Li Muchan frowned: "Normally, she shouldn't relapse. As long as she insists on practicing the mental method I taught her, not only will she not relapse, but she will progress quickly and become a master."
Dugu Heng shook his head: "I don't know."
Li Muchan frowned, puzzled. Dugu Heng glanced at him and said: "Brother Li, forget it, don't think about this either. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. This is what my aunt's fate is. No one can save her. Medicine doctor
Even if the disease is not fatal, there is nothing the Chinese miracle doctor can do about it."
Li Muchan just shook his head and frowned.
Dugu Heng said: "Brother Li, you are also an open-minded person. Why can't you think about it so hard? If my aunt wants to go, just go. In fact, I have been prepared for all these years."
"It shouldn't be..." Li Muchan shook his head, raised his head and said, "Brother Dugu, no matter what, I have to meet Miss Jinghua. I want to find out what's going on. Maybe I have a cure."
"Forget it, my aunt doesn't want to see you, so I can't disobey her order." Dugu Heng shook his head.
He suddenly stopped, pointed to the "Xiaoyao Tower" in front of him, and said, "Brother Li, let's have a drink here today!"
Li Muchan nodded: "As you wish."
Dugu Heng walked forward, and soon a boy ran out. When he saw Dugu Heng, he rushed out to welcome him with great enthusiasm: "Master Dugu, please come quickly!"
Dugu Heng nodded lightly: "Get a private room, a quieter place."
"Okay, okay, come with me!" The boy nodded hurriedly.
Li Muchan and Dugu Heng followed him up to the third floor and came to a quaint room with "Zhuo Ancient Room" written on the outside, which was quite ancient.
The two sat down across from each other. The table was next to the window. When they leaned forward a little, they could see the street outside. It was very lively. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the capital was indescribably prosperous.
At this time, the lanterns were starting to come on, and the lights of thousands of houses were ablaze, and Li Muchan felt more and more melancholy.
The waiter quickly brought the wine jar, followed by a chubby middle-aged man who came in with a smile as warm as the spring breeze. He laughed and said: "Master Dugu, it is a great honor for the shop to have you here. This is my treasure.
Thirty-year-old wine, let me taste it."
"Well, okay, you go out and serve the food as soon as possible!" Dugu Heng waved his hand, took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it over: "It's for you!"
"Thank you, sir, thank you so much, sir!" The chubby shopkeeper quickly took the bag, smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly bowed to express his thanks.
Dugu Heng waved his hands, and they respectfully withdrew.
Li Muchan looked at all this without smiling at all, and his eyes were still a little dazed. He was still thinking about why Dugu Jinghua had relapsed. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have happened. He had already gone through the process of cutting off his hair and cleansing his marrow, and he also added that he
The mentality is absolutely guaranteed.
Without saying much, Dugu Heng patted open the yellow sealing mud, and the mellow aroma suddenly filled the room. He poured two large bowls, picked up one bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Muchan was still in a daze, and Dugu Heng put down the bowl again: "Brother Li, please!"
Li Muchan picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, shook his head with a sigh of relief, and said, "That's all, in that case, I won't force it anymore, let's stay drunk today!"
Dugu Heng hummed: "In order to avenge my aunt, I will also get you drunk!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You don't understand what happened between me and Miss Jinghua. By the way, how is Tang Tang doing now?"
"Very good." Dugu Heng hummed, "I'm staying with my aunt."
"Is Miss Meng here too?" Li Muchan said.
Duguheng nodded: "Yeah."
As he spoke, he filled up the big bowl again, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. Li Muchan also picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The two of them said nothing more, one bowl for you and one bowl for me, and they drank up the whole jar of wine in the blink of an eye.
This jar of wine had a mellow aroma, but it had great staying power. After a while, Dugu Heng felt something. He chuckled, and the expression on his face became much more lively.
Li Muchan's face looked as usual. He had a special constitution. Even if he didn't exercise, it would be difficult to get drunk. Besides, he had been looking for an opportunity to find out where Dugu Jinghua was recuperating.
He drank harder, and Dugu Heng secretly competed with him. Not to be outdone, he also drank harder. After a while, he looked a little confused.
Li Muchan saw that the fire was almost done, so he slowed down his drinking speed. If he continued drinking so fast, he would be drunk after just a few bowls of Dugu Heng, and he would be speechless at that time.
Li Muchan put down the bowl and sighed, and Dugu Heng snorted: "Brother Li, you keep whining and sighing. This is not like you!"
Li Muchan smiled: "What am I like?"
"You are strong and open-minded. When you see this situation, you can only smile. It doesn't matter whether you live or die. You are a great master, you should be able to live at ease in the world, right?" Dugu Heng said.
He still spoke clearly, but his eyes were a little dazed. Li Muchan estimated that his mind was clear, but his eyesight was not good, and he might not be able to see clearly.
Li Muchan sighed: "This matter is different. Jing Hua has been treated by me. Logically speaking, it will never relapse. She doesn't have other injuries, right?"
Dugu Heng snorted: "Auntie has not been injured!"
Li Muchan said: "I heard that your relationship with the Zhu family has improved?"
"Well, my father has eased the relationship with them, saying that he doesn't want the four major aristocratic families to be too tense, so he can't push the Zhu family too hard, and don't really push them to the emperor's side." Dugu Heng said.
Li Muchan frowned and said: "Which side the Zhu family should lean towards will not change because of whether they are forced to do so. It is for profit. Concubine Zhu Guifei is so favored, how can the Zhu family not have delusions?"
"You don't know, right?" Dugu Heng said, "Concubine Zhu Guifei gave birth to a prince."
"Huh——?" Li Muchan's expression changed slightly.
Dugu Heng snorted: "That's true. Since you haven't been here, you naturally don't know the news here."
Li Muchan frowned: "Concubine Zhu gave birth to a prince... This matter is troublesome. Logically speaking, how can the royal family let her have a prince?"
Dugu Heng said: "This may be because the emperor is showing his determination, so the Zhu family is wavering."
"Then what did the head of the family do?" Li Muchan frowned and said, "It's just a talk, the Zhu family will never agree casually, right? There must be other reasons?"
Dugu Heng's eyes flickered and he avoided his gaze.
Li Muchan said "Hey" and hummed: "Brother Dugu, if you want to hide it from me, do you treat me as an outsider, so you can't tell?"
"This..." Dugu Heng shook his head and said, "Let's forget it."
"Tell me!" Li Muchan said angrily: "What is it about this shameful thing that makes you feel so guilty?"
"This... seems to have something to do with my aunt, I don't know for sure." Dugu Heng hesitated and said helplessly.
"Hmm -?" Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, his mind was racing, and he hummed: "The head of the family won't have an idea for Miss Jinghua, will he? He wants to marry Jinghua to the Zhu family?!"
When he said this, Dugu Heng felt that the air in the room suddenly became heavy. It was extremely difficult for him to take a breath, and he felt suffocated.
He sighed secretly, anyone would be angry, but he never dared to say it because he was afraid that Li Muchan would cause trouble.
Li Muchan suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Brother Dugu, didn't you find out more clearly?"
"I asked my father, but he didn't want to talk." Dugu Heng shook his head helplessly and said, "I asked my aunt, but my aunt didn't say much."
Li Muchan said: "Then the two of them are having a conflict?"
Dugu Heng shook his head: "I can't tell. My father has been practicing martial arts in seclusion and seldom visits his aunt. Now the same thing happens."
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "If the head of the family really does such a thing, then I will really be shocked!"
"I don't think father can." Dugu Heng said hurriedly.
Li Muchan smiled, looked at him and said, "You don't believe this yourself, do you?... It's really awesome. The head of the Dugu family is really awesome. For the benefit of the family, anyone can sacrifice, and you are the same!"
"Father won't do it." Dugu Heng said hurriedly.
Li Muchan said: "You and Tang Tang had your consent, right?"
"Father does not agree." Dugu Heng shook his head hurriedly and said: "But now that we are like this, we can't object anymore, we can only acquiesce."
Li Muchan laughed, shook his head and said, "You are so naive!...Forget it, I really don't want to mention him, take me to see Jinghua!"
"Auntie doesn't want to see you." Duguheng shook his head and said, "Since I took you there, auntie will also avoid seeing you, and you won't be able to see me."
Li Muchan hummed: "Why doesn't she want to see me?... Is it because of the Dugu family head that she relapsed? So she is disappointed and determined to die?"
"No." Dugu Heng shook his head hurriedly.
Li Muchan said angrily: "Do you believe your father, or do you believe me?"
"This..." Dugu Heng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I believe both of you, my aunt is indeed seriously ill."
Li Muchan said: "Okay, don't tell me this, I want to see her, take me there now!"
"But..." Dugu Heng shook his head.
Li Muchan waved his hand: "If you don't take me there, I will go find it myself and go directly to see your father. I want to ask him clearly!"
Dugu Heng's face turned into a ball of pain, he thought for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll just take you there, really!"
Li Muchan smiled: "That's it! Let's go!"
Dugu Heng shook his head helplessly, led Li Muchan out of Zhuogu's room, walked straight east, walked out of the east gate of the capital, and then walked east to a manor.
The manor covers an area of about a hundred acres and is nestled in the woods. It is difficult to see if outsiders are not close. The surrounding area is quiet and quiet, and it is adjacent to a large river. If something happens, you can leave directly by boat.
Li Muchan looked around and saw that there was no oppression here. He could use his great master skills to his heart's content. He opened his Eyes of the Void and found Dugu Jinghua at once.
His face changed slightly, and he snorted: "Brother Dugu, you walk slowly, I will go first!"
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, so that Dugu Heng wouldn't let him know and Dugu Jinghua would have a chance to avoid him.
He flashed into a room. It was a quiet room. The setting sun shone on the window. The light in the room was soft and a little dim. Dugu Jinghua was lying on the couch, sleeping quietly.
There was no one else in the room, and Li Muchan suddenly appeared. Dugu Jinghua was still sleeping, but his delicate body moved under the brocade quilt.
Li Muchan stood in front of the couch and looked down at her. Dugu Jinghua was lying on the couch with her back, her plump breasts rising and falling gently, and her hair spread to the side, like black satin.
Her hair was black and shiny, but her face was pale and without a trace of blood, as if she had applied a layer of powder. Her originally plump and red lips had become dry and without any blood.
She was as haggard as a withered flower. Li Muchan's heart tightened when he saw her, and he took a deep breath to suppress the throbbing heartache.
Dugu Jinghua's eyes suddenly trembled, and he slowly opened them. His confused eyes gradually condensed, staring straight at Li Muchan's face, and said with a smile: "Sir, we meet again."
Li Muchan smiled and stretched out his hand to gently caress her face: "Jinghua, why are you doing this!"
He understood at a glance that Dugu Jinghua probably hadn't practiced the mental techniques he taught for a long time, so the coldness overflowed from his body and almost swallowed his entire body.
"Sir, I'm leaving soon. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see you again." Dugu Jinghua showed a smile.
Li Muchan's hand fell on her face, still delicate and smooth, but with a hint of chill. He sighed softly: "Why do you say that?"
Dugu Jinghua smiled and said, "I'm going to another world, and I'm afraid I'll forget about you, sir."
Li Muchan hummed: "Which world are you thinking of!...I'm here, you can't go anywhere!"
Dugu Jinghua was suddenly startled and his bright eyes widened: "You... sir?"
Li Muchan said: "Jinghua, you are not dreaming!"
"This..." Dugu Jinghua turned around, looked around, and pinched herself again. The severe pain reminded her that this was indeed not a dream.
Li Muchan sighed: "Jinghua, why are you so miserable?"
Dugu Jinghua shut his mouth and suddenly turned around, facing away from him.
Li Muchan sat on the edge of the couch, shook his head and sighed: "Jinghua, is it because I haven't come to see you?"
Dugu Jinghua remained silent and lay motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
Li Muchan patted her shoulder and sighed: "Jinghua, it's my fault."
Dugu Jinghua just twisted his shoulders slightly and still ignored him.
The two were in a stalemate when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps and someone knocked on the door outside: "Aunt, aunt?"
Li Muchan recognized Tang Tang's voice, shook his head and smiled: "Jinghua, do you want Tang Tang to come in?"
Dugu Jinghua said: "Tang Tang, what's wrong?"
"I'm coming in." The door squeaked open. Tang Tang, dressed in purple, got in lightly like a civet cat. He closed the door and climbed in through the curtain. When he saw Li Muchan sitting next to the couch, he was immediately startled.
Call out.
Li Muchan stood up and smiled: "Tang Tang, why are you so frightened? You feel like you are seeing a ghost when you see me?"
"Li...Mr. Li?" Tang Tang quipped: "I didn't expect you to come, sir. Brother Heng told me, I thought he was joking!"
Li Muchan said: "You came to Jinghua to report something, right?"
"No... not at all." Tang Tang quipped.
Li Muchan smiled: "Okay, I'm not a savage beast. I won't bother Jinghua. You can go down and rest first."
Tang Tang looked at Dugu Jinghua who turned around. Dugu Jinghua took his arm out of the quilt and waved it slightly. Tang Tang nodded: "Okay, I'll go down and prepare some dishes."
"Well, thank you very much." Li Muchan smiled and nodded.
Tang Tang's bright eyes turned around on the faces of Li Muchan and Dugu Jinghua. In the end, he couldn't see anything, so he could only retreat out of the room in frustration and close the door.
The room became quiet again. Dugu Jinghua was already lying on her back. As soon as Li Muchan sat down, she turned her head away from him.
Li Muchan sighed: "I just heard that you were seriously ill, why didn't you inform me?"
"I'm not afraid of bothering you." Dugu Jinghua hummed, "You're very busy, so there's no need to disturb you."
Li Muchan frowned and sighed: "Even if you are angry with me, you shouldn't make fun of your body. How can you stop my mind!"
Dugu Jinghua shook his head: "I don't want to practice anymore!"
Li Muchan said angrily: "If you don't practice, you will die. You would rather die than owe me a favor, right?"
Dugu Jinghua nodded slowly: "Not bad."
Li Muchan sighed: "Jinghua, I don't want to see you. I really want to cut off our relationship, but I'm by no means ruthless. It's impossible for us."
"How is it impossible!?" Dugu Jinghua's bright eyes lit up.
Li Muchan shook his head: "Can your brother agree?"
Dugu Jinghua's eyes darkened again, and Li Muchan sighed: "Since he can agree, you yourself won't agree... To be honest, Jinghua, I'm not a good man. I not only like you, Jinghua, but also
You like several other women. You have always been a rich and arrogant young lady. How can you tolerate this kind of thing? Instead of suffering in the future, it is better to cut it off first."
Dugu Jinghua's bright eyes were shining. She finally heard Li Muchan say that he liked her, and she felt infinite joy. She hummed, "How do you know I can't tolerate it?"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "For a woman like you, it is already a great gift to get one of them. I am insatiable and greedy. I also feel that I have gone too far, so I simply gave up on my evil thoughts and have never dared to see you.
