Xiao Mubai locked himself in his room after returning to Nongmei Ju. At first, Xu Jing didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until noon the next day when he didn't come out that he panicked.
Xiao Mubai used to get up at every hour to practice sword practice without interruption.
Today, it's sunrise and I still haven't seen him come out of the room. Could he be sick
Xu Jing walked forward with an uneasy heart. He wanted to knock on the door and ask for instructions, but Xiao Mubai's figure was vaguely revealed in the window, obviously in a sitting position.
The courage he had mustered up in his heart faltered in an instant. He turned to look at Raven, thinking that the young master was treating him well. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he encouraged him to knock on the door.
Raven raised her eyebrows and squinted at him. Seeing his sincerity and humility, he turned around and walked to Xiao Mubai's door. He kicked the door open with a bang, shocking Xu Jing's eyes...
After the raven kicked the door, he raised his chin to the dumbfounded Xu Jing and signaled that the door was opened for him and he could go in...
Xu Jing cursed in his heart, how dare he enter? If he were allowed to go in, he would die. He waved his hands repeatedly and bowed his hands, with a look of pleading on his face, inviting the raven to come in.
Raven turned to look inside the house and saw Xiao Mubai sitting on the edge of the cave without saying a word. It had only been one night, his face was covered with vicissitudes of life, and his whole body was in a dejected state.
He frowned and stepped in under Xu Jing's respectful and sympathetic eyes.
Seeing him enter, Xu Jing automatically moved out of the way, waiting for him to be thrown out.
Sure enough, a video of a person suddenly appeared.
It's just the figure flying through the air, the figure trying to land on the ground.
When I looked up, it was Xiao Mubai...
Xu Jing only had time to take a breath, and a gray figure from the room immediately chased him out.
The two fought in the air again. Xu Jing took a closer look and saw that Xiao Mubai was actually at a disadvantage.
Xiao Mubai only wore pure white dark clothes without any decorations. Even his hair hung down on his shoulders and had not been combed up.
At this time, his hair was wildly dancing, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and his fists were fast and had the sound of hunting wind.
However, the raven ran as fast as lightning and had an elegant movement, locking him firmly in place and always being one step ahead of his moves.
Xiao Mubai struck out as if to vent his anger, until he finally threw a powerful punch. Raven caught it hard with his palm. In Xu Jing's unbelievable eyes, Raven actually faced Xiao Mubai with doubts on his face. Said: "You are making rapid progress."
Although the two of them have never fought against each other, they know each other's strength clearly.
When Raven saw Xiao Mubai and the Lord of the Lingmen fighting outside the North City Gate before, he felt that his martial arts had improved a lot in recent days.
It was only after so long that there was another breakthrough.
Although he was using bare hands, there were only a handful of people who could fight with his bare hands.
Xu Jing covered her lips to cover her mouth that wanted to scream, and said in her heart: "Oh my god, what kind of person is this man in gray?"
Xiao Mubai exhausted himself and sat on the ground under a plum tree. As he breathed heavily, the snow rustled from the petals, and the delicate fragrance of snowy plums rippled.
The plum blossoms were trailing on the ground, and he suddenly thought of the plum trees in Yunqi Courtyard, and the face of a girl wearing a plum blossom hairpin appeared in front of his eyes.
As the face became clearer and clearer, an unpleasant voice suddenly came from my ears: "I'm going to be beaten again and again. Why are you pulling my clothes?"
Xu Jing felt his scalp numb more and more, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Mubai for a moment.
After Xiao Mubai shook his eyes to see clearly, he let go of the hand that had grabbed Raven's clothes in disgust and rolled his eyes at him.
"Hurry up and finish your work. I have to go back to find Xia Chu." Raven also rolled her eyes at him with a look of disgust.
Xu Jing was already taking steps backward, wanting to withdraw from Nongmeiju.
Xiao Mubai's expression froze after these words, and then his dejection swept away. He stood up and told Xu Jing, who had retreated to the door, "Wash up."
Xu Jing was startled when he suddenly opened his mouth, and her legs became weak. After hearing that he just ordered to wash up, she hurriedly responded and went down to prepare.
Xiao Mubai's pure white dark clothes were stained with many stains. When he walked in front of Raven, he paused and said, "What you said in the last sentence is quite right."
Xu Jing waited for Xiao Mubai to wash up with trembling fear, and found that after he was beaten, he neither blamed Raven nor got angry with others. Instead, he returned to his usual cold expression and calmly ordered himself to pass on meal.
Xu Jing once wondered if the scenes he had just seen with his own eyes were just the imagination of his own madness.
Therefore, when Xiao Mubai later took advantage of the meal, he asked him about the specific events that had occurred since the Qiao Mansion was under surveillance, and Xu Jing was a little distracted when reporting.
It wasn't until Xiao Mubai tapped him on the forehead with a chopstick that he came back to his senses and explained everything that happened during this period in detail.
Xiao Mubai first wrote two letters and sent them to Han Sa and General Qiao respectively, asking them to contact each other privately and carry out the double-win strategy that General Qiao had missed before.
Afterwards, Xiao Mubai disguised himself again and quietly left Qiao Mansion with Raven and headed towards the palace.
It wasn't until he left Qiao's mansion that Chen Yu reported the news of his departure to General Qiao.
"I thought he would be depressed for at least two days, but he picked himself up faster than I thought." General Qiao's expression remained calm, but when his lips tightened, there was an imperceptible upward movement, which revealed that he was very pleased.
"General Qiao, do you really want to tie the survival of the Liang Kingdom to the prince of another country?" Chen Yu looked very hesitant, but he still couldn't help but speak.
General Qiao's hand holding the cup paused for a moment, and as he looked through the haloed tea, his memories flooded back to many, many years ago.
At that time, he also asked King Liang like this.
The words were exactly the same, even the tone was exactly the same.
After General Qiao learned that King Liang and Emperor Xiao had made this agreement.
He was very angry at that time.
As a general, he naturally wants to rely on his own hands to bring peace to the world.
This kind of gentleman's agreement seemed to him absurd and senseless.
What's more, as far as Liang Guo was concerned, this agreement was very unfair.
He once thought that this was the generous words of King Liang who were young and ignorant, passionate and hot-headed.
It wasn't until King Liang asked him to prepare an identity for Xiao Mubai that he realized how serious King Liang was about this matter.
Later, they learned the truth that the queen had never had any heirs.
Even if he objects again, it will be of no avail.
At that moment, he understood that King Liang had made up his mind.
"He is not only the prince of the Xiao Kingdom, he also has the blood of the Qiao family in his body. He is from the Xiao Kingdom, but he is also from the Liang Kingdom. In the future, he will integrate the world into one country." Old General Qiao said that Take your time.
Just like many years ago, King Liang told him so firmly and unhurriedly...
