Chapter 52 Snatching the Blood Mushroom
The night wind blows gently, and the bamboo shadows sway.
Mu Qingling sat at the table and filled the tea for the man in front of her. She was spotlessly clean and exquisite brocade box, which was spotless. It seemed that no one was interested, but everyone's eyes never left.
Jun Lingyi brushed his slender fingers across the teacup, his eyes fell on Mu Qingling's face, who was expressionless in front of him, and he smiled, "Qingling is annoying those people, it doesn't matter. After today, no one will disturb you again."
Mu Qingling rolled her eyes silently, but it was still someone who was told in the middle of the night that someone was going to rob her, and she probably couldn't get better. Although she had known that Xuezhi was in her hands for a long time, she would definitely cause some trouble. But when it came, Mu Qingling had to sigh, for the sake of Xuezhi, these people came to die one after another, and I don't know if it was too meaningless or too self-righteous.
From the first half of the night to now, I don’t know how many people have broken in. But before they get close to the main courtyard, they are strangled by all the people arranged by Jun Lingyi here. But in the same way, these people seem to have no concern for their lives. Even if there are many companions who die, they still rush forward as usual.
The sound of fighting outside came faintly, and Mu Qingling's eyes fell on the brocade box, sighing: "This bloody tangerine is really that important to them."
"For some people, getting it is more important than anything else." Jun Lingyi's lips curled up with a very shallow curve, and his eyes were weak. "For the people in the martial arts world, it is a elixir for themselves to be transformed into a peerless master. For the superiors, it is a magic medicine for prolonging their lives and a hundred years of life."
"A peerless master! Longevity! Not so magical!" Mu Qingling's lips twitched. If only a precious herb can make herself a peerless master, then what are the martial arts masters doing when they get up early and go to bed late? Although it is not nonsense to live a hundred years old, a person's lifespan cannot be changed by a single herb. Even in the era of advanced medical skills in the previous life, how many people can truly live to be a hundred years old? What's more, this era of backward medical skills. When the terminal illness comes, only death is waiting for him. Even if he has a blood zhi in his hand, he can only delay the death time and cannot save his life.
Besides, she has also carefully studied this blood zhi, which is indeed ten times more precious than ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, but it is absolutely impossible for a person to become a peerless master in the blink of an eye. It can only be said that this blood zhi is a top saint for detoxification.
Jun Lingyi laughed softly, "Of course it's not so magical. All of this is just recorded in a medical book. It is said that a traveler in the world accidentally obtained this medical book. After knowing the magical effect of Xuezhi, he searched for Xuezhi's whereabouts among several countries for ten years. Later, this incident somehow spread, alarming everyone. No one who knew about this was not looking for Xuezhi's whereabouts."
Mu Qingling asked curiously: "What about the man from the martial arts world later?"
Jun Lingyi shook his head and said, "I don't know! Some people say he is dead, some people say he has become a peerless master... he lives in seclusion."
Mu Qingling curled her lips and said, "I think I agree with the first point." Because Xuezhi does not have that effect, the so-called peerless master is nothing more than nonsense.
Jun Lingyi smiled faintly, "I think too! But most people still believe in the second one."
Mu Qingling nodded, "I know! The group of people outside did not explain this very well."
After the two of them talked for a while, the sound of fighting outside became clearer and clearer. Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows and looked at Jun Lingyi. If it weren't for his consent, would those people really have the ability to get close to here?
Jun Lingyi laughed softly, "Don't Qingling want to know who came to seize the blood zhi today?"
"If you can know that it is those people, it's better. If you can't, it's fine, it's just that this thing can only be done once." Mu Qingling shrugged indifferently. The people who robbed today were too large, so it was naturally impossible for them to be sent by one person. Perhaps because all kinds of small-scale robberies failed a few days ago, I don't know who had an idea to gather all the powers together. But they never thought about who should be when Xuezhi was really obtained.
The fighting sounds outside the door continued, but they did not take a step forward. They were obviously blocked outside very well. Jun Lingyi, Mu Qingling and the others stood at the window and looked faintly at the sword and sword outside the door. Even though they were in the bloody storm, the atmosphere between the two was surprisingly peaceful and warm.
Jun Lingyi looked at the woman next to him who was not afraid at all. Her eyes were soft, but she was also mixed with helplessness. Sometimes he hoped that the person standing by him could accept everything strongly. But sometimes he also hoped that she could properly reveal her weak side. It was obvious that the woman around him was only calm, but never showed weakness in front of anyone.
About a stick of incense has passed, and the fighting outside finally ended, leaving only a few men in black who were pressed and knelt on the ground by the secret guards of the Ning Prince's Mansion. Of course, those who could be left with Jun Lingyi were not some little ones who knew nothing.
Mu Qingling walked out with Jun Lingyi. Originally, Mu Qingling wanted to remind him to go out like this, but then she thought that everyone here was caught. Even if they knew each other, they would just silence them.
"Jun Lingyi, it's you!" The man who was pressed to kneel in front of him had red eyes. When he saw Jun Lingyi coming out of it, his eyes widened.
"Haha, I know this prince, it seems that he is an acquaintance." Jun Lingyi curled the corner of his lower lip sarcastically and gave an order to Zhufeng on the side. Zhufeng stepped forward and pulled off the man's face, revealing a face that was about thirty or forty years old.
"Oh, it turns out that he was the eldest son of General Zhenyuan's Mansion. But when did a thief actually appear in the dignified general's mansion?" Jun Lingyi raised his eyebrows casually.
Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows, General Zhenyuan! That was the Empress's family.
Looking at the middle-aged man with an angry face in front of him, Mu Qingling sighed faintly in her heart, remembering the result of taking the queen's pulse when she first entered the palace. According to the situation at that time, the queen was obviously given a chronic poison. If this continues, it is still a question whether the queen's life will be preserved. If she had not seen the person from General Zhenyuan's Mansion today, she would have almost forgotten about this matter. Besides the poisoned person, she probably knew the most.
"Since this is the eldest son of General Zhenyuan's Mansion, what about this one?" Jun Lingyi turned his gaze lightly to the other person beside him.
As Zhu Feng pulled off his face towel and revealed a plain face, the curve of Jun Lingyi's lips also increased. "It turns out that our Emperor is also interested in Xuezhi."
The man's eyes shrank, "I don't know what you are talking about?"
Jun Lingyi sneered, "You don't need to know, as long as your master knows it in his heart."
"Criminal, will this person be killed..." Zhu Feng said in a deep voice. Prince Ning's mansion has already laid a lot of eyeliners in the palace. They naturally know what this person's identity is. It has to be said that the emperor is really willing to spend a lot of money to get Xuezhi, and this person's identity is no lower than Yingshuang Yingrong.
"No!" Jun Lingyi pulled Mu Qingling away and said lightly: "Closed it first, and don't give him a chance to commit suicide. You must also treat our eldest son Yuan well."
"I understand!"
"Since one is from General Zhenyuan's Mansion, what about the other one?" Mu Qingling asked the man next to her. Compared to General Zhenyuan's Mansion, she felt that she was still more interested in the identity of another person. Who told him to be sent by that person?
"Do you remember I told you about the shadow guards around our Majesty!" Jun Lingyi said lightly.
Mu Qingling nodded. Of course she remembered that Yingshuang Yingrong was not a member of the Shadow Guard, but also an elite among the Shadow Guards.
Jun Lingyi said lightly: "He and Yingshuang Yingrong are not of the same level. Among the royal shadow guards, there are those who specialize in secret missions for the emperor, and some are those who are responsible for safety. And this one is one of the four shadow guards around our emperor and one of the emperor's life-saving talismans."
"Uh, our emperor's life-saving talisman is so weak." She wondered if he was the emperor's life-saving talisman. What she was curious about was that such a shadow guard who was easily subdued was really suitable to save her life in a critical moment.
"Well! I forgot to say that he is the weakest among these four people." Jun Lingyi raised his eyebrows.
"But this cannot change the fact that the people around us are not as good as our emperor." Mu Qingling curled her lips. Yingshuang Yingrong is the best example. Since the last time they were punished, although they were much more honest, they were still thinking of ways to obtain the secrets of the Ning Prince's Mansion. On several occasions, Jun Lingyi even posted a few half-true and half-false messages for them to pass them to the emperor. Unfortunately, these two people did not realize the truth or falsehood of the news at all. As a result, Mu Qingling was once again disappointed with the people around the great Emperor.
Mu Jun Ling Yi chuckled, "Actually, not everyone is a martial arts genius. It is good for the emperor to cultivate dozens of masters in a short time." Even the Ning Wang Mansion, the secret guards selected from the Ning Wang Mansion from childhood must be suitable for martial arts. Those with mediocre qualifications are generally sent to the army to cultivate soldiers. The Mu Mansion was not the Ning Wang Mansion, and the Mu Mansion had never led troops, and there was no experience in cultivating martial arts practitioners. The Ning Wang Mansion was different. Since the Ning Wang Mansion was granted military power, the Ning Wang Mansion focused more on various trainings and valued people with outstanding qualifications. Because there were various tasks that required people with outstanding abilities to complete, the emperor was really not as good as the Ning Wang Mansion in terms of cultivating masters.
"Talk about wizards. There is not one in front of us." Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows and smiled. Compared with everyone, Mu Qingling believes that no one is more suitable for the word wizards.
When he returned to the Ning Prince's Mansion, it was not far from dawn. When he sent Mu Qingling to the door of Mo Zhuxuan, Jun Lingyi said in a gentle voice: "You didn't have a rest all night last night, so don't go to the Deyi clinic today, and have a good rest at home."
Mu Qingling nodded and looked at Jun Lingyi and said, "What about you!"
"It doesn't matter, don't forget that I am a martial artist, not something you can compare to. Be good, go and rest. If you are tired, you will feel distressed for your husband." Jun Lingyi gently scrutinized the woman's forehead and laughed softly.
Mu Qingling's lips twitched, she glared at him in anger, turned around and walked towards the yard.
Looking at the woman's back as she was gradually moving away, Jun Lingyi laughed helplessly.
In the study, Jun Lingyi's slender fingers casually tapped the table, making a rhythmic and crisp sound. Mo Xun's expressionless face was on the side, looking faintly at the man pressed and kneeling in the middle.
"Since you are here, don't think about committing suicide, otherwise, I don't mind you being with that person." Jun Lingyi's eyes were cold and he curled the corners of his lower lip slightly.
After hearing Jun Lingyi's words, the man suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Jun Lingyi, "You caught him." Before that, they had a task, which was to investigate whether the person was dead. Yingshuang had also sent back the news before, saying that there was no whereabouts of that person, and the master naturally thought he was dead. Now it is obvious that the master's guess is wrong.
Jun Lingyi sneered, "Our Emperor wants to kill him with the hands of this prince, so I want him to live." Since the assassination of the Biezhuang, there have been many people who came to the Ning Prince's Mansion to inquire about the news, so he naturally knew what they came for.
The man lowered his eyes and said, "Criminal Ning, you are a smart person, why bother to oppose your master? What is the benefit of this for the Ning Prince's Mansion? Why don't Prince Ning let go of prejudice and live in harmony with your master?"
Jun Lingyi laughed loudly as if he had heard something funny, but his tone became a little colder, "Go in harmony! Haha, I am worthy of being a person trained by our Emperor." He was as self-righteous and brainless as he thought that everyone would be led by him like a fool.
The grudge between the Ning Prince's Mansion and the current emperor is hard to resolve, and it is not possible to reconcile in just a few words.
Perhaps he heard the mockery in Jun Lingyi's tone, and the man's face was like frost, "Criminal Ning, I respect you but it doesn't mean I'm afraid of you!" As one of the most outstanding shadow guards around the master, they would never allow any insults.
Jun Lingyi sarcastically pulled the corner of his lips, "Hmph, the prisoner must have the awareness of the prisoner."
Looking at the man who gritted his teeth and looked at the man who was about to spit out fire, Jun Lingyi sneered, "Because you are so ignorant, I think I'd better let you meet that person. I guess you are very interested. However, you don't want to know why your master insists on getting rid of him, even if you sacrificed you."
The man was stunned. They really knew the identity of that person. It was just because their identity told them that they must obey the master's orders. Not asking or saying more is one of the rules they need to observe.
