The shopkeeper's face turned pale with shock. He secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and said in horror: "Queen, please calm down. The old father of the grassroots died of arsenic on the night when the arsenic was sold. The grassroots suspected that
The man who bought arsenic poisoned my old father, but he had no evidence and no sight of the man, so the common people did not go to the government to report the crime and asked the Queen to forgive him."
Mu Tianxue frowned lightly, and directed her cold eyes at Wang Chao, "Take him down."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chao responded respectfully and raised his hand to make a gesture. The imperial guards who first escorted the shopkeeper into the palace took the shopkeeper out again. Wang Chao looked at Long Chen and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you want to order a blockade?
The whole city is working hard to hunt down the traitors and foreign merchants lurking in Beijing."
"No need." Long Chen also raised his hand casually, and then he tapped his hands regularly on the rosewood desk, making a low and subtle sound, and said: "Send someone secretly to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion."
As soon as these words came out, the intention was on the surface. Although Wang Chao was not a wise man, he was not a martial artist. He said immediately: "Yes, Your Majesty, I humbly obey my orders."
After Wang Chao withdrew, Mu Tianxue supported his lower jaw with one hand and played with the black hair hanging on his chest with one hand. He looked at Long Chenyi, who had a frosty face, with interest, raised the corners of his lips and smiled, saying: "
The fish this time are not as big as usual.”
"After sacrificing so much bait, there must be something gained." Feng Qingyun's tone was as calm as a blue pool with no ripples, but it was also like a precursor before a violent storm. He knocked on the table hard,
He stood up and extended his right hand to Mu Tianxue, "They should be here. Do you want to come with them?"
"Of course." Mu Tianxue raised her eyebrows casually, and put her hand on the slender white jade palm in front of her. A feeling of warmth slowly spread from her palm to her heart, and she instantly felt a lot warmer all over.
.
"It's cold, please keep warm." Pulling Mu Tianxue in front of him, Long Chen also waved his hand, and a cloak fell on his palm. With a slight gesture, the cloak slid through a graceful arc in the air, and fell on Mu Tianxue.
On Tianxue's shoulders, slender green-white fingers tied the satin ribbons of the cloak with slow and elegant movements, "Okay."
Lowering his eyes and looking at the satin ribbons tied in a concentric knot, Mu Tianxue raised the corners of his lips and burst into a gorgeous and dazzling smile. Such a gentle and beautiful scene, what would it be like if it could stand still and let the years pass?
The big hands held the little ones, as if strolling in the garden, strolling leisurely and elegantly on the way to the imperial study, stepping on the snow under their feet, admiring the silver world dyed by layers of white snow.
Suddenly, the snow scene from six years ago appeared in both their minds. He held her in his arms among the white snowflakes flying in the sky. She made a promise to him and he made a promise to her. In the blink of an eye, time flies by and time flies by.
for six years.
"Xue'er, after this, no one will be able to separate you and me again." Looking up at the still gray sky, Long Chen also clasped Mu Tianxue's hand tightly on his chest, "
Hold your hand and grow old together with me. I promise you that we will be together forever, and I will never break my promise in this life."
A smile rippled at the corner of his lips, as if he had fallen into a honey pot. Mu Tianxue's heart was like flowers blooming, and joy came from his heart. "The bond between life and death is broad, and I said it to my son. I will hold my hand and grow old with him for the rest of my life."
I don’t even break my promise.”
Such a quiet and beautiful time will always be broken, because...
"Here you are." Murong Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time, just came out of the imperial study and saw Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue coming. He did not want to break the harmonious scene, but he had to break it.
, "The occurrence of the massacre is really shocking. Our people are always keeping an eye on the other party's people. If that group of people takes action, our people will definitely notice it."
"Well, it's not what they did." Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue walked into the royal study and sat down on the dragon chair, "Don't act rashly first, so as not to alert the enemy. We must have enough patience."
With the current situation, it all depends on who can afford to be patient. The more impatient you are, the more opportunities the other party will take advantage of. Moreover, the other party has always thought that with Tianxue as a hostage, they can restrain him. In a few days, he will take the initiative.
Attack.
Of course, he will also provide the other party with an opportunity, "Haiqi, when is the banquet scheduled?"
Haiqi served the tea in front of Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue, and said respectfully: "To return to the emperor, Qin Tianjian has chosen a good day. In five days, it will be an auspicious day. It is the most suitable day to hold a feast to celebrate the emperor's harvest of mountains and rivers.
The territory returns in triumph.”
"Well," Long Chen also picked up the tea cup, used the lid of the tea cup to gently stir the tea leaves floating on the water, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, and said slowly: "Send the order, let the whole world celebrate."
"Slave, I obey." Haiqi bowed and retreated, Murong Xuan sat back on the chair again, frowning his beautiful eyebrows, "Doing this doesn't tell them that this is a trap they have dug, and they will
How could you jump into the trap?"
"Wouldn't that be better?" Long Chen also raised the corners of his mouth, his smile was dazzling and cold, with a deep meaning, "I just want them to know that this is a trap, so that they are willing to jump into the trap."
"Good idea." Mu Tianxue nonchalantly played with the tea cup lid in his hand, smiling slyly, "When it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, it is easy to confuse people's ability to judge, but in the process of verifying the true and false, it is
Opportunities for us to exploit gaps.”
Murong Xuan understood what Long Chenyi wanted to do, and attacking in the east was indeed a way. However, based on the investigation and tracking during this period, he knew very little about Hexuan, but he had an intuition that made him feel that Hexuan was very good.
Danger is not a simple character. I am afraid that this plan will not deceive the other party.
"He Xuan's whereabouts are strange, and his martial arts are even more unpredictable." Murong Xuan expressed his doubts, "I have monitored and followed him several times, but he can easily disappear mysteriously from under my eyes, and I can't see what he is using."
What kind of martial arts method is this? This person is not simple."
"Weird..." The tone was flat, with a long and graceful ending, a hint of ridicule, and a hint of contempt in Mu Tianxue's black eyes like splashing ink, "It's just that he knows a few of my Loulan's forbidden arts. Who knows?"
, using forbidden techniques will shorten one’s lifespan.”
"Forbidden Technique?" Murong Xuan's face became a little more solemn, "I have read in the books in my family's collection that Loulan's forbidden technique has long been banned and has not been seen in the world for a hundred years. How could Hexuan learn Loulan's forbidden technique?
?”
"This is something I'm also puzzled about. Unfortunately, He Yilan's words are too harsh and he can't get out any information at all." Mu Tianxue spread his hands and expressed his helplessness, but his expression was calm and indifferent.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell from her appearance that she didn't take He Xuan seriously at all.
