Views:

Mrs. Gu was originally upset because of Mu Yunxiao's beating. When she heard Mu Xiaoxiao's concern, she felt warm in her heart and said, "I don't know what's going on, and Xiao'er didn't tell me either. It's bruised and purple, and it looks scary. You said why Xiao'er is so careless, it really pisses me off."

"Auntie, Yun Xiao is a boy. It's normal to be playful. Don't get too angry. I just asked Chunhong to go to the doctor in a carriage. He should be there soon. Let's go see Yun Xiao." Xiaoxiao said softly.

Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, while patting Mu Xiaoxiao, she said: "Good boy, such a good boy. Auntie really wishes you were my daughter. You are much more worry-free than that little bastard Yun Xiao."

Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and lowered her head. She wished she could, wished she could. In fact, to put it bluntly, Mrs. Gu did not regard her as her daughter.

What she was thinking about all the time was the missing Mu Yue. She could even imagine where Mrs. Gu would put herself if Ning Jiuwei really came back. Such a selfish person would never allow the Mu family to have a third child. The two women were fighting over Mu Yue.

Mrs. Gu looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, but she felt extremely lost in her heart. Where is her daughter? Is she beautiful? Is she suffering? Is she still alive? It has been nine years...

Mu Xiaoxiao entered the room and saw Mu Yunxiao lying on the bed, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, looking at his face carefully.

"Yun Xiao, my aunt and I came to see you. How are you? How come you're so good at fighting?" Mu Xiaoxiao sat on a chair and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." When Mu Yunxiao saw the two of them, he threw the bronze mirror aside in a very bad mood and rushed towards the bed.

When Mu Xiaoxiao saw Mu Yunxiao like this, she looked back at Mrs. Gu and said nothing. Since Mu Yunxiao didn't want Mrs. Gu to know that it was Ning Jiuwei who hit her, she didn't say anything. Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly. smiled.

… … .

After Ning Jiuwei put on her night clothes, she picked up the poisonous powder prepared by Qi Lexuan and went straight to the palace. This time Qi Lexuan didn't follow. It wasn't that she didn't want to come, but that her martial arts skills were too low and she escaped from the palace. , it is easy to be discovered, so I can only stay in the inn.

Just after Ning Jiuwei left the restaurant, the man behind him whispered to his companions, and then followed behind him cautiously. This time, he could not lose track of anything.

Ning Jiuwei, who was walking in front, quickly glanced behind him, then quickened his pace. After twists and turns, he climbed through the wall of the palace near Yuanheng Gate.

With very light steps, she jumped up to the roof, shuttled quickly on the eaves, and turned into an afterimage. She was familiar with the roads and soon arrived at Fengqing Hall.

Ning Jiuwei glanced around, and after seeing the patrolling guard walking past, he lightly jumped from the eaves to the tree, then tapped his toes, and his body slowly landed on the ground like a bird.

“Exactly on time.”

Before Ning Jiuwei could find anyone, a cool voice came from inside the Fengqing Hall behind the door, making Ning Jiuwei's heart shrink.

How high was this man's martial arts? She was obviously very careful. Why was she discovered as soon as she came in? This man was really terrifying.

After Ning Jiuwei walked in, he slowly opened the door and walked in. The man in black robe did not wear a cloak this time, but he put on a golden mask on his face, looking cold and domineering.

On the table in front of him, there was the Jiaotong Phoenix Tail Qin that he had snatched from her hand, and sandalwood was burning on the side, making it look somewhat fairy-like.

"Tell me, what's your purpose in coming to me?" Ning Jiuwei looked at the man and asked with a frown.

"Return the piano." The man in black said as he raised his hand to stroke the piano with gentle movements, as if he was stroking his lover.

Ning Jiuwei seemed a little unbelievable. Thinking of that day when he tyrannically took away her piano, she didn't expect to return it to him so quickly, but why did he choose this place.

The man in black's slender fingers stopped on the strings, and with a slight hook of his jade-like knuckles, a crisp piano sound came out from the Jiaotong Phoenix Tail.

"After all these years, the voice is still so clear and clear. People say things change and people change. It's true." The man in black didn't know whether he was feeling emotional or regretful.

After a while, he seemed to realize that Ning Jiuwei was standing there, not moving. He raised his head and looked at Ning Jiuwei, tapped the position opposite him with his finger, and said, "Girl, come and sit."

Ning Jiuwei was not polite, walked directly in front of him, sat opposite him, looked at him with delicate phoenix eyes and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill Chu Tianyi?"

"It's not that I want to kill him, it's that he's stopping me. Girl, you can play the piano." The man in black said nonchalantly.

Seeing the man in black pushing Jiao Tong Fengwei in front of her, Ning Jiuwei held her down and looked at the man in black with defensiveness and probing eyes.

"Girl, play me a song. If I'm satisfied, I'll give it to you." The man in black stared at Ning Jiuwei with his sharp eyes and said.

Ning Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "What if I don't agree?"

"From now on, this Jiaotong Phoenix Tail will never belong to you again." When the man in black said this, he was leaning on the low chair, looking a little evil.

Ning Jiuwei looked at the man in black, knowing in her heart that he meant what he said, so she said, "You can play it if you want me to, but I want to know your name."

"Name?" The man in black's voice was as calm as ever.

But in the blink of an eye, the masked face of the man in black suddenly appeared in front of Ning Jiuwei, with endless darkness in his cold eyes.

"Girl, you are very brave. Not everyone knows my name." After the man in black finished speaking, he returned to his previous sitting position.

"I am not an ordinary person, I am..." Ning Jiuwei's phoenix eyes stared at the man in black without flinching.

Then, thinking about what the man in black had done just now, he got close to his face, stared at him closely, and said, "The person who wants to kill you."

The man in black obviously didn't expect Ning Jiuwei's actions, let alone that she would say these words. After a while, he laughed, his voice was very happy.

"Okay, okay, you girl is quite frivolous." The man in black stopped his smile and nodded.

"Are you afraid that I will seek revenge on you?" Ning Jiuwei asked, looking at the man in black.

"I promise you." The man in black nodded and said.

Ning Jiu nodded slightly. As long as she knew the name of the man in black, she would have a direction. She would never be like a headless fly like now. As for how to take revenge, there would always be a way.

Thinking of this, Ning Jiuwei lowered his head, lightly hooked his fingers on the strings twice, and tried the sound. Then his ten fingers flexibly played on the Jiaotong Phoenix Tail, and a clear sound like spring water came from Ning Jiuwei's fingers. It flows out and the music is soft and lively.

The wind blew over the water, causing ripples. The bamboo forest made a rustling sound, exuding the fragrance of bamboo. Tick-tock, tick-tock, it was raining. The raindrops fell on the water, making a tinkling sound, and fell on the bamboo leaves. Makes a crisp sound.

At this time, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, the sun shone all over the ground, and a rainbow of seven colors appeared in the sky. The bluestone road washed by the rain was very clean.

The sound of footsteps came from not far away. A woman in white clothes came out of the dust like a fairy. She walked over slowly. The smile on the corner of her lips was as charming as the sky. But in an instant, the woman took out a dagger and broke it. Comes empty.

The man in black suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ning Jiuwei, exuding an extremely sharp light. He stretched out his hand and pressed the piano body, and the piano body stopped suddenly.

"You don't look well." Ning Jiuwei didn't look displeased at being interrupted. Instead, she looked at the man in black and said.

"Who taught you this?" the man in black asked excitedly.

Ning Jiuwei looked at the man in black and then said, "You haven't told me your name yet."
