131. Are you going to die or live?(2/3)
Mingteng couldn't imagine what Ming Xinyao would have been bullied if he hadn't come to see him off in person? Maybe he wouldn't have lived to Tianli Country at all...
Originally, Mingteng wanted to go to the Ying family again before dawn, but now because of Ming Xinyao's affairs, he didn't care about it, so he sent one of his close subordinates to talk to the Ying family. Mingteng originally planned to move the Ying family to another place, but now he has changed his mind because everyone in the world is staring at the Ying family and can't hide it at all. Mingteng sent his people to the Ying family, which is nominally for protection and more for surveillance.
In Mingteng's view, since the Ying family has been hidden in the city for so many years, its strength is absolutely extraordinary and not something that anyone can move as soon as they want. For Mingteng, the most important thing is to avoid the Ying family having a different intention towards Mingyue Kingdom and to use it for the other three royal families. Therefore, he sent someone to stare at the Ying family. As long as the Ying family is still in Mingyue Kingdom, it must be used by the Ming royal family next!
Mingteng was in a bad mood and did not ride a horse today, but chose to ride a carriage. When the long bride-seeking team left Wushuang City, Ming Xinyao was always unconscious in the carriage. Mingteng did not choose to let Ming Xinyao wake up early, and asked clearly what happened last night, in order to avoid what happened after Ming Xinyao woke up, which would be even more impossible to end. Now, what Ming Xinyao needs to do the most is to be quiet and not say anything.
But it is said that Wushuang City is Yingjia.
Murong Shu didn't see Ying Qin for three days, but he knew that Ying Qin was in the room next door and should be recuperating. Murong Shu was very at ease and did not leave the house. He looked at some books he asked for from Ying Qin every day and sat in the yard.
Yingqin has two maids, a pair of twin sisters, one named Xueying and the other named Shuangluo. Murong Shu felt that the name Yingqin gave to the maid was very similar to the name Mu Yan gave to her.
Xueying and Shuangluo seemed to be curious about Murong Shu, who suddenly lived in Yingqin's yard, but just gave Murong Shu food and tea on time. They never refused what Murong Shu told them to do. Apart from these two maids, Murong Shu never saw other people in Yingqin's yard again, including the head of the family Ying Hao.
Yingqin finally went out that day. It seemed that her internal injuries had healed. She went out and came back to find Murong Shu and handed Murong Shu a knife with a very special shape. The blade was not long, with a sharp blade on one side and a zigzag on the other side.
Murong Shu took the knife, looked carefully, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."
"Is it just good?" Ying Qin asked with a faint expression as she looked at Murong Shu.
Murong Shu's lips curled slightly: "The appearance of the knife meets my requirements, but the blade is too heavy and is not made of the best ore. Although the handle of the knife is not that important, I am a person who demands perfection and cannot bear any flaws. I thought that the Divine Soldier Sect would be perfect for every detail of the weapon, but obviously it did not do it."
Ying Qin glanced at the hilt that Murong Shu mentioned. The shape of the hilt was made based on the rough design sketches drawn by Murong Shu. There were patterns on it, but the patterns were not exquisite and slightly rough.
Especially compared with Murong Shu’s two perfect full moon scimitars, the knife Ying Qin took was really weak.
"Mr. Murong, good ore is hard to come by. The Ying family has taken out the best ore at present to build this knife for Mr. Murong. On the eve of the auction last year, I heard that Mr. Murong has collected a large number of rare ores. I wanted to buy them, but I didn't know that there was a single stone on the final auction. Why is this?"
Ying Qin's tone was very calm and seemed to mention it casually, but Murong Shu knew that this question was not simple. Since Ying Qin knew that he had collected a large number of ores last year, it means that this matter was very important to her.
Murong Shu smiled slightly: "That's right, I bought a batch of ore and planned to sell it at the auction. I believe Miss Ying could also think about why it was not sold in the end, because my brother said he wanted it, so I gave it to him all."
"Does Mr. Murong really don't know the origin of that Mr. Yan Qing?" Ying Qin looked at Murong Shuwen.
Murong Shu shook his head as usual: "I don't know, I asked, and my brother said he couldn't tell me, so I didn't ask, because we felt the same way at first sight, and it has nothing to do with our origin and status."
"I thought Mr. Murong has always been a businessman." Ying Qin's lips curled slightly.
Murong Shu smiled: "Businessmen can only talk about interests, can't they have real friends? Miss Ying is narrow-minded. If I really only have interests in my heart, I wouldn't have been harmed by Murong Jing before, what about Miss Ying?"
Ying Qin nodded slightly: "Young Master Murong's words are reasonable."
"Actually, I'm nitpicking. This knife can be called a treasure knife." Murong Shu glanced at the knife Ying Qin took over and said.
No matter how Ying Qin heard, she felt that Murong Shu’s words were a bit perfunctory. Murong Shu was obviously not satisfied with the weapons made by the Ying family. The only thing he was satisfied with was the design of the knife, and the designer was not the Ying family.
"I wonder what Mr. Murong has plans for the next time?" Ying Qin looked at Murong Shuwen.
Murong Shu shook his head: "Actually, I have no plans. I have nothing now. I have thought about making a comeback. But after staying here for a few days, I thought it would be too late to start revitalizing my family business. I can travel around the world while I am so busy now. At my age, it's time to get married. Maybe I will meet a beautiful girl somewhere and I will stay."
Ying Qin was slightly stunned for a moment. She thought Murong Shu would talk to her about joining the Divine Sect or her subsequent cooperation, but she didn't expect Murong Shu to say she wanted to leave.
"Mr. Murong, where is my man?" Ying Qin looked at Murong Shuwen.
Murong Shu slapped his forehead: "I actually forgot about this. Miss Ying doesn't have to worry. Before I leave, I will hand over Dugu Ao and Qin Zheng to Miss Ying."
"Although it's a bit presumptuous, I hope you don't leave." Ying Qin said seriously as she looked at Murong Shu.
Murong Shu was a little puzzled: "Why?"
Ying Qin sighed slightly: "Mr. Murong should know that the news that the Ying family is a descendant of the Divine Sect is now known to everyone in the world. The Ying family will definitely not have peace next. The Ying family's current strength is actually not enough to protect themselves. The royal family of Mingyue Kingdom is not very reliable, so I must find some help for myself."
"Ms. Ying wants me to stay and help you protect the Ying family? Guardian Sage Sect?" Murong Shu asked gently with a smile.
Ying Qin nodded: "Yes, Mr. Murong is one of the best among the younger generation in terms of martial arts and mentality. Such talents are urgently needed by my Ying family. Just now, Mr. Murong is free to worry. Why not join the Ying family, join the Divine Sect, and work with me to develop and expand the Divine Sect and pass on it? Besides, Mr. Murong has a unique talent in weapon design, and it is perfect to stay in the Divine Sect."
Murong Shu smiled slightly: "Miss Ying said it is not unreasonable, but I am actually a little tired of this. I once worked hard alone, guarding the Murong family's business, and growing the Murong family. In the end, everything was ruined. I have been thinking that money, status, power, and after all, are all things outside of my body. I have experienced the taste, and those are nothing to me. Maybe I will start from scratch and make a comeback one day, but it all depends on my mood. Because I have thought about it, I will live for myself and move with my heart."
"Mr. Murong is now in a broad mind, which is very different from before, and it is also a blessing in disguise." Ying Qin looked at Murong Shu and said, "But I still hope that Mr. Murong can consider staying in the Ying family. The Ying family will not restrain you, but will only provide you with a better starting point."
Murong Shu looked at Ying Qin, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "It's not that I can't think about it..."
"Mr. Murong has any conditions to raise." Ying Qin looked at Murong Shu and said.
Murong Shu's lips curled slightly: "I have always wanted to see Miss Ying's true face under Qianying's mask. I wonder if Miss Ying might satisfy my little wish?"
Ying Qin lowered her eyes slightly: "If Mr. Murong doesn't want to stay, you don't have to have fun with me."
"No." Murong Shu shook his head, "Ms. Ying, everyone has a love for beauty. Miss Ying's eyes are so beautiful, and this false appearance is not worthy of your eyes."
Murong Shu's praise was full of sincerity. Ying Qin hesitated for a moment, reached behind her ears, and slowly took off the Qianying mask on her face.
I saw Ying Qin's face was like white jade, which was shattered with bright and charming features. She was indeed a stunning beauty.
For Murong Shu, Ying Qin's appearance and temperament are a little worse than Mu Yan, but she is much better looking than Ming Xinyao, the number one beauty in Mingyue Kingdom.
"It's better to cover it up with such a beautiful appearance." Murong Shu said with a smile.
"Will Mr. Murong stay and guard the Sword Sect with me?" Ying Qin did not immediately bring Qianying's mask back, her beautiful eyes were full of expectations, and she looked at Murong Shuwen.
Murong Shu nodded: "I can't ask for it."
Ying Qin left, the smile on Murong Shu's face faded a lot, and a sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was just testing what kind of person Ying Qin was, and Ying Qin's behavior in the end was clearly seducing him.
Murongshu's heart is as calm as water from beginning to end, and Ying Qin's beauty is not worth mentioning to him, because objectively speaking, Muyan is more beautiful, and Murongshu's favorite is Su Qi's appearance.
Murong Shu didn't think Ying Qin really wanted him to join the Divine Sect, and it was even more nonsense to guard the Divine Sect with her. Murong Shu knew very well that Ying Qin must keep him, for Yan Qing and the Cang clan behind Yan Qing.
Murong Shu admitted that as a woman, Ying Qin is very outstanding in terms of appearance and talent, and she is very smart and capable, and knows how to win people's hearts. Otherwise, Dugu Ao would not be devoted to her and would be willing to go through fire and water for her.
But Yingqin had one thing that Murong Shu despised, and Murong Shu felt that Yingqin would never be as good as Mu Yan.
Mu Yan is more beautiful than Yingqin, but Mu Yan is sincere and open-minded in dating people. Mu Rongshu will never forget the little brother "Yan Qing" he first met. Mu Yan knew Mu Rongshu's identity at that time, and even knew that Mu Rongshu could easily sell her weapons with Mu Rongshu. She even knew that Mu Rongshu would not betray her, but she did not take any advantage of Mu Rongshu.
Murong Shu just gave Mu Yan's senior brother Cen Mo a pill to relieve seasickness, and Mu Yan gave Murong Shu the sword that Murong Shu needed the most. The value of the two was not comparable at all. That was because Mu Yan didn't want to owe Murong Shu, because she recognized Murong Shu's friend.
Murong Shu's life was saved by Mu Yan. Even after he woke up, Mu Yan half-jokingly said that Murong Shu's life would be hers in the future, but Murong Shu knew very well that as long as he said that he was leaving and he wanted to live his life, Mu Yan would never force him to stay, let alone use kindness to rob him.
Even though Mu Yan is now Princess Xiao and is a disaster in the eyes of all people in the world, Murong Shu knows best that it is just an appearance. In fact, Mu Yan never regards herself as an affiliate of Xiao Xinghan, and never lets Xiao Xinghan rush forward to protect her. She has been working hard to improve her strength.
Mo Qingchen was arranged by Xiao Xinghan to go to Mu Yan's side at first, but now he must be beaten to death and he is unwilling to leave because he is very happy to stay by Mu Yan's side. Mu Yan will consider his safety whenever Mu Yan asks him to do.
As for Lian Jin, he even regarded Mu Yan as his only relative. He was afraid that he would be willing to let him die for Mu Yan, but Mu Yan would never use him to do anything.
Yingqin is different.
Ying Qin obviously knew the advantages that beauty brought to her. Dugu Ao Ying Qin was devoted to her, which is probably one of the reasons. Ying Qin now wants to keep Murong Shu. Even though she still acts elegantly without a trace of frivolity, Murong Shu still saw the plot in her eyes. A beautiful woman faces a normal man, seduction is undoubtedly the most direct and effective method, and Ying Qin is obviously well aware of this.
But to put it bluntly, she has different positions. Murong Shu was not here to be friends with Ying Qin. Ying Qin decided to use Murong Shu from the beginning. In order to keep Murong Shu, she did not even ask Dugu Ao and Qin Zheng when they would come back.
In the next two days, Murong Shu, who agreed to join the Ying family, was taken by Ying Qin to see the very secret casting workshop in the back mountain of the Ying family. Ying Qin was deliberately showing her sincerity, and her sincerity was more to start to have dinner with Murong Shu, have tea, play chess, and even go for a walk in the small garden together.
Murong Shu left all the people, and then after Murong Shu was taken by Ying Qin and read all the Ying family, late that night, Murong Shu left a letter and left silently, not taking away a cloud, but only taking away a knife that he was not satisfied with...
The next morning, Ying Qin realized that Murong Shu was missing. She frowned slightly and opened the letter left by Murong Shu.
In the letter, Murong Shu said that he dreamed of a girl the day before yesterday and believed that the girl was his marriage in his past and present life, so he decided to go to find the girl in his dream and leave her alone, and she would never have a chance to go...
"Murrong Shu!" Ying Qin tore the letter in her hand into pieces, and her face could no longer remain calm. She thought that Murong Shu was staying because of her. Now it seems that from the beginning to now, she has been fooled by Murong Shu!
And all this is only one explanation. Murong Shu and his righteous brother have not broken off contact at all. Murong Shu has long known what his righteous brother is! Yan Qing, the mysterious young man who is likely from the Cang clan, sent Murong Shu to the Ying family to investigate the situation! They are also them, which has exposed the Ying family to the world!
Murong Shu did not do anything unfavorable to Ying Qin and the Ying family, and the more he did this, the more he was slapped the Ying family in the face! Murong Shu and the Cang clan behind him used such behavior to tell Ying Qin that they were not willing to take action at all. They would secretly appreciate that Ying family was fought over by major forces in the world, or even destroyed...
But Yingqin had no other choice. She knew from the beginning that the Cang clan was the orthodox inheritor of the Divine Sect, and the Ying clan, whose original surname was Yin, was a traitor of the Divine Sect back then. But she could not tell others about this, because she had already made a vow that she would destroy the Cang clan and get the Divine Sect order, so that the Divine Sect would be carried forward in her hands, and that the Divine Sect would be surnamed Yin for generations to come!
No matter what Ying Qin felt, Murong Shu, who had escaped from the Ying family, happily chased Su Qi...
At the same time, Ming Xinyao, who had not yet left Mingyue Kingdom, finally woke up.
Ming Xinyao slowly opened her eyes, and many scenes flashed in her mind. In the end, she only remembered that Xiao Xinghan came to find her that night, with a silver face ink, unparalleled. She didn't know how the mysterious man did it, but although Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything, she did appear in front of her.
Ming Xinyao remembered that she carefully poured Xiao Xinghan a cup of tea, Xiao Xinghan drank it, and then her mind was filled with beautiful and lingering pictures...
Thinking of this, Ming Xinyao's face turned slightly red and her eyes were as charming as if water could drip from it. She was thinking that she finally got what she wanted. She is still alive now. Does it mean that she has a chance to be with Xiao Xinghan?
"Yao'er."
Hearing Ming Teng's voice, Ming Xinyao turned her head and realized that Ming Teng had been sitting by the bed, looking at her coldly.
"Uncle Emperor, I..." Ming Xinyao looked a little nervous, "I know I did something wrong. I just like Xiao Xinghan too much. I want to be with him. Uncle Emperor, you have always known..."
"What wrong did you do?" Mingteng asked coldly at Ming Xinyao.
Ming Xinyao lowered her eyes and whispered: "I gave Xiao Xinghan aphrodisiac, and then we..."
Mingteng's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly clenched his fist and hit the bed post, then reached out and pinched Ming Xinyao's shoulder, making Ming Xinyao frown tightly: "Uncle, please let me go, it hurts so much..."
"Yao'er, who gave you the medicine? How do you make sure it was Xiao Xinghan?" Mingteng looked at Ming Xinyao and seemed to tear her down! Since he knew that Ming Xinyao had deliberately sent off all his servants, Mingteng knew that Ming Xinyao was not completely innocent in this matter, but he did not expect that Ming Xinyao was so stupid!
Ming Xinyao's expression changed slightly, she directly ignored Mingteng's first problem, looked at Mingteng and said, "That's Xiao Xinghan!"
"That's not Xiao Xinghan!" Mingteng was almost angry to death. "Xiao Xinghan followed me to the Ying family and came back with me. It's impossible for him to have been to your place!"
Ming Xinyao's face turned pale, her body began to tremble violently, she kept shaking her head and said, "Impossible! This is impossible! He is wearing a mask and doesn't like to talk, it's Xiao Xinghan!"
"Stupid!" Ming Teng raised his hand and wanted to slap Ming Xinyao. Seeing Ming Xinyao's pitiful appearance, he was reluctant to let it go, so he had to clench his fist and slam the bed post with anger.
"Uncle Emperor, please tell me, is it Xiao Xinghan right? Is it him right?" Ming Xinyao burst into tears in an instant, looking at Mingteng begging, hoping that Mingteng could tell the answer she wanted in her heart.
Mingteng shook his head coldly: "It's not him! I'll ask you again, where did your aphrodisiac come from?"
Ming Xinyao's expression froze: "That person... he was lying to me! He was framed by me!"
To be continued...
