When Lin Fan learned that Meng Lan was about to leave soon, he was locked up in the city lord's mansion all day long to paint portraits of Meng Lan. He drew more than a dozen pictures of various forms and various decorations. Each time he drew one, a girl from Xingyue Sect copied them and expanded the number.

Xue Mu also took this time to contact Wen Hao, and he was racing against time. He planned to arrange for Wen Hao and a group of older masters from the Yanyang Sect to accompany him to the capital. The purpose was to protect Meng Lan, but also to exist as an "artist assistant team", responsible for composing, accompaniment and doing foreign affairs for Meng Lan.

This is intentionally standardizing and matured the performing arts. After all, almost all the Yanyang Sect play music, and they don’t use a lot of resources. It’s a waste of traveling all day long. Moreover, Wen Hao is still an old-fashioned master. Although his strength has declined now and he is fully qualified to protect Meng Lan, he is still an old man, so he can rest assured to use it.

This task is quite in line with Wen Hao and the others' wishes. It is also a favorite music work and a "public travel to Beijing", which is a joy.

Facts proved that Xue Mu's judgment was correct. All preparations had just been completed, and Xiahou Di came to say goodbye early the next morning.

"Let's go today?"

"Let's go today."

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

Neither of them talked about the exchange mission of going south and relating martial arts. The more they talked about this, the more embarrassing the two sides, it would be better to have a tacit understanding.

Because the nature of the matter is too subtle, since Xiahou Di is causing trouble for him and dragging him down on Xingyue Sect, but isn’t it also a woman’s resentment? That sentence still lingers in his ears: You will help Xingyue Sect consider it, why not help me?

But after all, this cannot be said on the table, just treat it as a transaction - Xue Mu completed the task, Xiahou Di supported Lingzhou's martial arts discussion, it was that simple, don't say much, just do it.

Other things, tacitly understood.

"I'll send you there."

"Um."

The conversation became easier and simpler. Xue Mu just walked side by side with Xiahou Di in silence, and the two of them didn't speak any further.

No one knew that Meng Lan was also responsible for a special task - she brought a piece of Anxiang Powder and prepared to hand it over to Xiao Ai, the branch of the capital, and handed it over to Concubine Liu and Eunuch Li to attack Ji Qingyuan.

In the absence of other more suitable drugs, Xue Mu can only choose Anxiang Powder, which has disadvantages. I hope Ji Qingyuan will not be frightened if he is fine.

Xue Mu's silence was not because of the sorrow of separation. It was only 800 miles from Lingzhou to the capital, and no matter how inconvenient the transportation was, it was only a few days, so he was not so kind. The real reason was that he suddenly realized that the guy he was planning to poison was Xiahou Di's biological father.

Whether they love each other, or fight each other, they are always a friend with very special feelings and relationships. The relationship itself is already very subtle. This time, they still go to poison her father, and push this subtle relationship to the limit.

But he would not stop planning pretentiously because Ji Qingyuan wanted to kill them first, and because Ji Qingyuan's unpredictable mental skills may cause great consequences in the future, and it must be eliminated to solve the problem. What's more, only by letting Ji Qingyuan be destroyed can the large inner layout of Xingyue Sect truly exert a terrifying effect.

No matter which angle, he should not stop planning. He must tell himself that Xiahou Di is Xiahou Di and Ji Qingyuan is Ji Qingyuan, so don’t confuse it.

But looking at Xiahou Di's slightly sad eyes, Xue Mu kept choking in his throat what he wanted to say. He didn't know how to say a complete sentence. Thousands of words finally turned into just two words: "Take care."

Xiahou Di really felt sad about parting. Seeing Xue Mu's abnormal behavior, she felt a little indescribable. Obviously, she thought Xue Mu was also saying goodbye. She also said thousands of words and didn't know what to say. She stood quietly in the wind, letting the mountain wind blow, and looked at each other silently for a long time before replying: "Take care."

Then he turned around, the cloak fluttered, bringing out a phantom in front of his eyes, and it seemed like a dream.

Meng Lan followed behind her. Xue Mu's thoughts were naturally understood with the faint fragrance. She also sighed in her heart. She put herself in her shoes and thought about it. She would be in a weird mood if she was a young master. Especially... after she really poisoned Ji Qingyuan, can she still face Xiahou Di so calmly when she sees Xiahou Di in the future? Perhaps it would be a big revenge when she meets again. Thinking about the scene at that time, it makes people shake their heads.

Xue Mu stood on the hill and watched everyone traveling silently until the convoy disappeared into the sky and was covered by yellow sand. He still said no longer.

Zhuo Qingqing and others stood behind him, and after a long time, they whispered: "Young Master, it's time to go back."

As personal guards, they knew more about secrets than anyone else, and they also knew very well what Xue Mu was depressed at this time.

Xue Mu sighed: "Qingqing, I want to drink a little."

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

Xue Mu looked into the distance and shook his head, "So sometimes I hate myself, because even if I want to drink, it's not about getting drunk, but also having other purposes."

"What the young master means... want to find someone to drink?"

"Um."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Zheng Haoran."

**********

At this time, Zheng Haoran was extremely resentful of Xinyi Sect and admired Xue Mu very much. He was always involved in the Xie Changsheng incident and knew very well that if Xue Mu had not discovered the problem in advance and triggered it in advance, it would be very likely that everyone would have fallen into this small bandit suppression this time. Xue Mu was equivalent to saving everyone's life in disguise, including Zheng Haoran.

This made his affection for Xue Mu reach the peak. When Xue Mu ran to him to drink, he felt very good and joked: "It's rare that Brother Xue looks like this full of worries."

He has always been pretending to be internally injured by Xue Mu, and it is not easy to have a chance to tease him.

In addition, the transition from "Zhuzhu Xue" to "Brother Xue" also highlights the close relationship at this time.

Xue Mu raised his head and drank it all, sighing: "It's not a big deal, but as a normal person, there will always be momentary emotions caused by certain things. We are not asking the sword sect to practice ourselves into a sword."

"Yes, Brother Xue is so alive." Zheng Haoran laughed and said, "I pretended to be very tired before, including deliberately attacking me."

"Ha, you actually saw it."

Seeing that he admitted it readily, Zheng Haoran didn't care and said with a smile: "I always make plans and always feel tired. You might as well let go of my arms and get drunk and drink!"

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

Zheng Haoran said: "Let me guess what can make Brother Xue feel bad today... maybe only the separation of General Xiahou?"

Xue Mu sighed softly: "You said that when people are separated, they always say take care of each other. Can you meet again if you take care of each other?"

Zheng Haoran shook his head: "I say take care of you, but I don't look forward to reunion. However, the storm in the world is dangerous. I say take care of you, but from now on, things that are separated from heaven and man can be seen everywhere, so how can I meet again?"

"So, if we really meet again, we will become enemies at that time?"

Zheng Haoran was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought you were hurting parting, but it turned out that what you were afraid of is reunion."
