Chapter 264 263, Shura field!
Chapter 264 263, Shura field!
next morning.
Gu Hongye had breakfast with Shen Lang and Bai Shishi, rode Bai Shishi's little donkey, and came to the yamen of Shenzhutang with ease, and was about to go find Chief Yan to lead today's task, when suddenly Met an unexpected person.
"Master Mu?"
Looking at Mu Qingxue who was standing under the rainy eaves in front of Yan Tianying's office building, talking with Yan Butou, Gu Hongye's eyes were both pleasantly surprised and a little guilty.
But soon she hid her cautiousness, walked over quickly, and bowed to Mu Qingxue and Yan Bubu:
"Greetings to Mr. Mu and Yan Butou. Mr. Mu, when did you return to Beijing?"
Mu Qingxue paused the conversation with Yan Tutou, and smiled at Gu Hongye:
"Long time no see. I just returned to the capital this morning."
Gu Hongye asked:
"Then why don't you go home? You and Shen Butou separated when you first got married, and you haven't seen each other for more than two months. Shen Butou misses you these days."
A look of shame flashed in Mu Qingxue's eyes—they had been separated for more than two months after they got married, and they hadn't even met face to face. She was really a bit incompetent as a wife.
But she is also helpless in her responsibilities, and can only sigh softly:
"I was planning to go home, but I received a new task."
Gu Hongye asked: "What mission?"
Yan Butou said beside him:
"Prince Carlos, the leader of the envoys of the Kingdom of Ryan, disappeared last night. The Ryan missions searched all night to no avail. They contacted the Ministry of Rites remotely to ask for help. The Ministry of Rites then sent a message to the Shenhuntang, asking them to send elite arresters to assist in the investigation. The Western Mission yesterday Staying at Qingjiang Mansion late at night, it is a little far away from the capital, and the only one who can rush there as soon as possible is Mu Tutou. So, I can only trouble her to make a trip."
"Ah?" Gu Hongye was slightly stunned, with a happy expression on his face, "The person surnamed Ka disappeared?"
cough!
Yan Butou coughed dryly and winked, reminding her not to gloat too clearly.
Gu Hongye quickly restrained her joy, and said solemnly:
"The disappearance of the leader of the foreign mission is indeed a major case!"
Seeing that Gu Hongye and Yan Butou looked a little wrong, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but wonder:
"What do you mean? Then why is Hongye so happy that Prince Carlos is missing?"
The head catcher was only explaining the case to her, and hadn't mentioned Carlos' investigation of Shen Lang's intelligence, so she really didn't know that Carlos might have evil plans for Shen Lang.
Gu Hongye laughed dryly and said:
"Then what, it's the head catcher who received the news that Carlos is collecting information about the head catcher Shen..."
Mu Qingxue frowned, and looked at Yan Butou.
Yan Butou looked serious and nodded slightly:
"This is true."
Mu Qingxue was puzzled and said:
"That Carlos, why did you inquire about Shen Lang's information?"
Yan Butou said in a deep voice:
"After the battle of the Star Death Gate, Shen Butou became famous in Dongtu, and he was hailed as the peerless genius of Dongtu's younger generation, who is on par with Mu Butou. That Carlos is the same age as Shen Butou, and it is said that he is extremely arrogant and excellent. The temperament of fame. Therefore, I guess Carlos may want to challenge Shen Butou in public during the tribute ceremony, and step on Shen Butou to make his name."
Mu Qingxue pondered for a while, and asked:
"Shen Lang also knows about this?"
Yan catches his head and nods:
"That's right, I informed Catcher Shen about this and gave him a piece of information about Carlos."
Mu Qingxue's eyes suddenly became a little subtle.
Last year, Shen Lang had a conflict with Lian Yunxiao, he was threatened by Lian Yunxiao during the day, and was ambushed by Lian Yunxiao's killers in the evening, so without saying a word, Shen Lang sneaked into the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital in the middle of the night and killed Lian Yunxiao directly.
With Shen Lang's lawless nature, knowing that someone has malicious intentions towards him, it's hard to say how he will react - so what if Carlos is a prince?
Shen Lang even dared to kill the illegitimate son of the Eastern Emperor, or shot him in the head in front of so many people, let alone a mere prince from the Western Kingdom?
The Son of God was nothing special, and the Son of God in the East would not be more noble than the direct disciple of Master Bailong.
Shen Lang had shot the prince and beheaded the Daren Daren's direct disciple, and it seemed that it would not be a big deal to kill another Western blood prince.
After pondering for a while, Mu Qingxue calmly said to Yan Butou:
"I'll leave immediately and go to Qingjiang Mansion to assist in the investigation. Hongye, come and assist me."
"Ah?" Gu Hongye was slightly taken aback, surprised and apprehensive at the same time, he stumbled and said, "Can I do it?"
Of course, Gu Hongye was happy to be able to investigate the case with the beloved Mr. Mu.
But Master Mu is so strong, even stronger than Shen Lang, Gu Hongye was a little worried, whether he would hold her back.
Mu Qingxue smiled slightly:
"Of course you can. It's just to assist in the investigation of a disappearance case, and there may not be a chance to do it. Besides, didn't you accompany Shen Lang to go undercover to investigate the case at the Star Death Gate? I heard that Shen Lang was very satisfied with your assistance. Comments high?"
Speaking of this matter, Gu Hongye couldn't help but feel guilty—during the investigation of the Star Death Sect, apart from washing and cooking, she only focused on developing tongue skills and leg and foot skills. Of course Shen Lang was satisfied, but Master Mu didn't know Will you be angry...
Just when her eyes were flickering and wandering, Mu Qingxue had already walked out of the eaves, and she raised her hand to hold Gu Hongye's arm. A pale golden aura instantly spread across Gu Hongye's body, enveloping her.
Afterwards, Mu Qingxue said to Yan Butou:
"Yan Butou, I will take Hongye to Qingjiang Mansion to investigate the case."
Yan Catcher nodded with a smile:
"Bon Voyage!"
Mu Qingxue's back spread out a pair of golden wings that seemed to be made of pure gold, but also like condensed brilliance. With a light slap, she took Gu Hongye on her arms and soared into the sky, rising to a height of thousands of feet, and then turned to fly towards Qingjiang Mansion .
After flying high into the sky.
Even with Mu Qingxue holding her arm and Mu Qingxue's stellar energy covering her body, Gu Hongye was still a little nervous. She tensed up for a while before she gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the novel excitement of flying high in the sky.
While overlooking the mountains and rivers below, Mu Qingxue's voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Is Shen Lang at home last night?"
Gu Hongye focused all her attention on experiencing the thrill of flying and overlooking the ground, and she was a little distracted. At this time, Mu Qingxue asked such a question so abruptly, she immediately replied without thinking:
"Of course I'm at home..."
After answering this sentence, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurried to remedy:
"Master Mu, you know that I live next door to Shen Butou, and we had dinner together last night."
Mu Qingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and heard that Gu Hongye's tone was wrong, so she asked calmly:
"Are you sure he's been there all night?"
"This one……"
Gu Hongye thought for a while, then said cautiously:
"What is certain is that it took a long time after dinner... at least until the beginning of Haishi."
Mu Qingxue said: "After Haichu, you don't know Shen Lang's movements?"
Gu Hongye said with a guilty conscience: "Then, then I shouldn't know! I won't sleep with Shen Butou..."
Mu Qingxue glanced at Gu Hongye subtly. Gu Hongye's cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes flickered to avoid her sight.
Mu Qingxue, as the head of the four famous arresters in the God Catch Hall, didn't gain her fame solely by beating and killing. She is also very good at investigating cases, and she has extremely keen intuition and insight.
Ever since she met Gu Hongye in the yamen, she felt that when Gu Hongye faced her, he always felt a little guilty for no reason, his eyes flickered at every turn, and he couldn't control the naturalness when facing her.
After pondering for a while, she suddenly asked:
"You and Shen Butou... well, did something happen to you?"
Gu Hongye's heart skipped a beat, she had to continue to cover up, but thinking about it, this is her beloved Master Mu, how could she deceive her?
Although Shen Lang said that he would personally ask and report to Master Mu, but Gu Hongye felt that he was the dowry maid of Master Mu, and he belonged to Master Mu, so he had to report to Master Mu himself if there was anything wrong. Only in line with their own identity.
Now he gritted his teeth and made a desperate decision:
"Master Mu, let me confess frankly, I and Shen Butou...we..."
She talked about the things between herself, Bai Shishi and Shen Lang, and emphasized:
"However, we have not crossed the bottom line. I am still a perfect body. If you don't believe me, you can test it yourself."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while after listening, and sighed:
"There is no need to test, I believe you. So, it is Shen Lang who insists that he must ask me for instructions and ask for my consent before he can really accept you?"
Gu Hongye said: "Yes, Shen Tutou is loyal to you, no matter how tempted me and Bai Shishi are, he will not cross the bottom line..."
Mu Qingxue smiled:
"You still speak for him up to now, but you are loyal to him."
Gu Hongye solemnly said:
"Lord Mu, I'm your dowry maid. I accompanied you to pay homage to Shen Butou and married into Shen's family. I'm actually yours."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while, then sighed:
"Only two days after the wedding, my husband was sent out to handle the case. After that, I also left Beijing on business. I couldn't see him for more than two months. I finally returned to Beijing, but I didn't even go back home. When I turned around, I went back to Beijing. Going out of Beijing to investigate the case... Do you think my wife is incompetent?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"My lord, please don't say that. You are also responsible for this, and you have to do it. Shen Butou often said that he is in the public house, and he can't help himself. Since he chose to marry you, he must have expected this in his heart. .”
After a pause, he looked at Mu Qingxue cautiously:
"Master Mu, are you not angry?"
Mu Qingxue chuckled lightly:
"My wife has made me like this, what right does she have to be angry? Shen Lang is at the age of exuberant energy and blood, and he is not satisfied. You and Shishi also accompanied me to pay homage to him in front of Lord Yan and Master Chang. He could have justified and accepted you, but he has been letting you two beauties not really do something, and has endured until now... So restrained himself, and respecting my thoughts so much, I can only be happy..."
Hearing this, Gu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to praise Mrs. Mu for being a mistress, when Mu Qingxue's hand that was holding her arm suddenly withdrew, and the aura that enveloped her dissipated.
Gu Hongye was stunned, and his body flew forward for a while according to the inertia, and then fell towards the ground.
wow ah ah ah...
Gu Hongye yelled and danced.
Mu Qingxue followed Gu Hongye unhurriedly, watching her fall several hundred feet, until she was about to hit a mountain, and then she sped up and swooped down, throwing out a whip of qi, the front end turned into a net shape, wrapping Gu Hongye body.
Gu Hongye flew past a mountain top, her toes touched the leaves on the top of the mountain, her face turned pale with shock, her legs curled up, her hands tightly grasped the qi net that was no different from a solid substance, and she raised her head and shouted:
"Master Mu, I know I was wrong, quickly pull me up!"
The corners of Mu Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, she slowly pulled Gu Hongye up, and took her arm again.
With a sullen face, Gu Hongye looked at Mu Qingxue miserably:
"Master Mu, you scared me to death..."
"I'm actually not that broad-minded, and occasionally I'll have a taste, and even come up with some bad thoughts."
Mu Qingxue said leisurely:
"Although my wife is very incompetent, and I am ashamed to blame my husband, but I still have to punish some vixens who seduce my men while I am away."
Gu Hongye lowered her brows and looked pleasing to the eye, like a copy girl:
"I am Miss's dowry maid. If I do something wrong, I will be beaten and punished at will..."
Mu Qingxue sighed:
"One crime is not punished twice. Since you have been punished just now, even if this matter is exposed, you cannot be punished again. But in the future, when I am at home, how to serve the master, you all have to follow my arrangement."
Gu Hongye nodded repeatedly:
"It should be. It's only natural for the lady to arrange a maid..."
Mu Qingxue said lightly:
"During my absence, besides you and Shishi, has Shen Lang been in contact with other women?"
Gu Hongye said:
"That's not true. When he was at the Starfall Gate, he was busy investigating cases. After he came back, he didn't go out of the gate every day, and he continued to make alchemy and practice. Oh, by the way, we went to the West Market yesterday. At the beginning, he went to the Storm Guild Hall alone to inquire, saying that he had met Princess Azalia of the Storm Kingdom, and Azalia offered him a very generous offer to recruit him."
Mu Qingxue asked:
"What conditions? Did he agree?"
Gu Hongye talked about the conditions offered by Aishaliya, and laughed again:
"Shen Butou is firm-willed. In the face of magnificence, power, and wealth, he was unmoved and refused the princess's solicitation. Of course, Shen Butou also invited the princess to his house out of politeness."
Mu Qingxue nodded in satisfaction, and asked again:
"That Xiyi princess, is she beautiful?"
"Uh, I haven't seen that princess with my own eyes. But it is said that she is only sixteen years old, and she is already the number one beauty in the Storm Kingdom, and she is also the number one beauty in the entire Western Continent."
"The race in the Western Continent is different from ours. Do you think the beauties from the Western Continent can catch the eyes of our Eastern natives?"
"This...Although ordinary women in the Western Continent look awkward to me, there are some exquisite beauties, and I find them very moving when I see them."
Mu Qingxue chuckled lightly:
"Then I'll wait and see how beautiful that princess is."
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"It's definitely not as good as Mrs. Mu. But Princess Aishaliya is in the capital, we go to Qingjiang Mansion, I'm afraid we won't see her."
Mu Qingxue said leisurely:
"That's not necessarily..."
When the envoys of Qingjiang Mansion were stationed, Gu Hongye had to admire Mu Qingxue's mastery of things—Princess Aishaliya, who was still in the capital yesterday, was actually in Qingjiang Mansion today, staying with the envoys of the Storm Kingdom !
Station of the Storm Mission.
in the living room.
Mu Qingxue, dressed in black and wearing a black cloak, was holding a teacup, sitting on top of the guest seat, and the one in the main seat was wearing a white battle skirt, a silver-gray breastplate, a golden crown on his head, and a long sword in both hands. The princess looked at each other silently.
Even though they were of different races, Mu Qingxue had to admit that the number one beauty in the Storm Kingdom was indeed a rare beauty.
Her facial features are exquisite, as if carved by heavenly hands.The skin is white and delicate, supple and smooth, and can be broken by blowing bombs.
Although he is petite, his back is straight, and his appearance of sitting with a sword on his shoulders is quite majestic.
Especially that pretty short hair that looked like a pure gold thread made Mu Qingxue, who had a romantic relationship with gold, very pleasing to the eyes.
When Mu Qingxue was looking at Aishaliya, Her Royal Highness was also looking at Mu Qingxue carefully.
The names of each other have been passed, and Her Royal Highness knows that the goddess catcher in front of her is Shen Lang's wife, a "ruthless steel judge" who is more famous than Shen Lang and has a more dazzling record than Shen Lang.
But Aishaliya, who saw Mu Qingxue for the first time, didn't see any traits related to "ruthlessness and steel" from Mu Qingxue.
I just feel that this goddess has a pure and sweet appearance, and people can't help but feel good about it at first sight.
At the same time, Her Royal Highness also felt the pressure in her heart:
Mu Qingxue is too beautiful.
It's fine if it's only about being beautiful, Her Highness the Princess thought to herself that she would not lose to Mu Qingxue in terms of beauty alone, but the problem is that Mu Qingxue is tall and tall, almost a head taller than her.Those slender and straight long legs even made Her Royal Highness secretly jealous.
Azalia thought to herself that although she was petite, her body proportions were excellent.With her height, her legs can also be regarded as a pair of long legs.
But her "long legs" are only in terms of body proportions, compared with Mu Qingxue's long legs in the absolute sense...
Her Royal Highness suddenly felt that she had been reduced to scum, and was very depressed for a while.
She can only comfort herself:
I'm still only 16 years old, and I still have the possibility to continue to grow.And Mu Qingxue, who is 22 years old, has already established her height. In the future, I might grow up to be as tall as her, or even taller than her!
Although a girl's height growth will suddenly slow down after the age of 16, and she will not grow much taller until she is completely finalized, but what if there is a miracle?
After some self-consolation, Her Royal Highness pulled herself together again, straightened her back, and looked at Mu Qingxue without hesitation.
Gu Hongye, who was standing by Mu Qingxue's side, faintly felt that something was wrong with Azalia's aura——
How can this princess of Xiyi, who can be called a stunning beauty, whose beauty is comparable to Mu Qingxue's, and each has her own merits, feel a little hostile towards Mu Qingxue... Well, hostility is not quite appropriate, maybe it should be "competitive awareness" to describe?
However, one is a princess from the west, and the other is a famous prisoner from the east. The two have nothing to do with each other. Today is even the first time they meet.Why does this Red Dragon Princess regard Mu Qingxue as an opponent inexplicably, and show such a sense of competition in terms of aura while looking at each other?
Could it be that because Shen Lang was rejected, he felt dissatisfied and felt angry, thinking that Mr. Mu tied Shen Butou to Dongtu?
Gu Hongye, a bystander, could see it, and of course it was impossible for Mu Qingxue not to feel it.
But before she came, she already had some guesses in her heart. She was not too surprised by Azalia's strong sense of competition. She just lowered her eyelashes calmly, avoiding the princess's sight—it's not that she couldn't bear it. The aura of the princess really made Mu Qingxue feel that as an adult, she didn't need to be as knowledgeable as a little girl who was six years younger than her.
After that, she took a sip of tea and said lightly:
"Your Highness, I think you already understand the reason for my visit."
Azalia said crisply:
"Of course. I know you're here to investigate Carlos' disappearance, and I know why you're visiting me. Yes, I was the last person to see Carlos last night, but I don't know anything about his disappearance." I know. Instead of asking me, Ms. Mu might as well ask Carlos' clerk. She was the first person who arrived at the scene of the suspected Carlos battle."
When she was speaking, she was also secretly happy in her heart, saying that you are Shen Lang's wife, but you still don't know about Shen Lang's murder of Carlos.
It can be seen that Shen Lang regards this matter as a common secret between him and me, not even sharing it with his own wife——this is a misunderstanding, Your Royal Highness, the reason why Mu Qingxue didn't know about this matter is purely because she hasn't had time to come back At home, he was ordered to come to Qingjiang Mansion.
If Mu Qingxue returns home, Shen Lang will definitely not hide it from her.
"I've already asked the clerk, Miss Irene Jie."
Mu Qingxue remained calm, and looked at Aishaliya again, observing her eyes and expression:
"According to Miss Erinjie, you had a verbal conflict with Carlos last night. Carlos threatened to kill your attendant, so you rode a dragon to send away the attendant you recruited in the East?"
"That's right!" Azalia nodded, "Carlos chased after him, but before he caught up, I took advantage of the opportunity to get out of his sight, put my attendant in the forest, and then continued to ride the dragon to attract Carlos' attention caused him to chase me for more than 100 miles in vain."
Mu Qingxue stared into her eyes, "After Carlos got close, he found that you were the only one on the dragon's back. Out of anger, he searched for that attendant everywhere?"
Aishaliya looked at Mu Qingxue without guilt:
"That's right. I rode a dragon back to the manor, and I met Miss Erinjie on the way. I wanted to invite her to come back with me on a dragon ride, but she was worried about Carlos, so she declined my invitation and continued to chase after Kalos. Rose."
Mu Qingxue asked again: "Afterwards, Your Royal Highness, you went back to the manor without further delay?"
Azalia nodded: "Of course. Everyone, including the members of the Ryan mission, saw the situation when I came back riding a dragon."
Mu Qingxue asked: "Where's your attendant? He didn't come back?"
Azalia sneered: "What are you doing when you come back? Carlos is cruel and vicious. He has already threatened my servant's life. I can only let him go. I dare not take him with me again to avoid being killed by Carlos."
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:
"Excuse me, Your Highness, what is the name of your attendant?"
Aishaliya without thinking:
"Shen Wu. His name is Shen Wu."
"Shen Wu?"
Mu Qingxue's eyes became subtle - she recognized Shen Wu, the master brother of the Chasing Wind School.
More than two months ago, she successfully cleared the customs and was promoted to the second rank. After a little consolidation, she left the customs and rushed to support Shen Lang who was investigating the cannibal case of the four-winged demon owl. Shen Wu.
Shen Wu is an upright person, caring for fellow students, not weak in martial arts, and handsome in appearance, but with Shen Wu's cultivation, it is impossible to be favored by this high-strength, superior bloodline, and noble-born princess.
Eileen Jie said that the reason why Her Royal Highness made Carlos so angry that she must kill that attendant soon after that was because Her Royal Highness kissed her attendant deeply for a long time in front of Carlos and Irene Jie.
It's hard for Mu Qingxue to imagine that this arrogant princess, who never loses momentum when facing her, and even wants to overwhelm her, would take the initiative to kiss Shen Wu, the big brother of the Chasing Wind Sect, even if it was to fight back Carlos threatened.
It's almost the same as Shen Lang.
But Mu Qingxue didn't expose the princess, she just calmly said:
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your cooperation. I have already asked all the questions I want to ask, so I will take my leave."
Said, put down the teacup, and was about to get up.
"Wait a minute!" Her Royal Highness said in Dongtu official dialect: "Miss Mu, do you know why I had a verbal conflict with Carlos, and finally made Carlos angry?"
Mu Qingxue said:
"According to Ms. Irene Jie, Carlos disrespected the princess and tried to force her to marry him?"
Azalia smiled slightly:
"The forced marriage happened after the verbal conflict gradually intensified. It seems that Aileen Jie did not inform Ms. Mu of the initial source of the conflict. I can understand Aileen Jie's concealment. After all, the source of the verbal conflict between me and Carlos The source, speaking of it, is also related to Miss Mu."
"Oh?" Mu Qingxue was slightly surprised, and sat down again: "Why do you involve me in the conflict between the princess and Carlos?"
Aishaliya stared at Mu Qingxue, and said leisurely:
"Carlos is investigating your husband Shen Lang. I happen to be very interested in Shen Lang and want to recruit him. I heard about Carlos' investigation, so I invited him to a small banquet to find out his purpose. See if it conflicts with my purpose. But guess what he told me?"
"Princess, please tell me, Mu Mou is all ears."
Aishaliya looked serious, and said in a deep voice:
"Carlos said that he inquired about Shen Lang's information just to challenge him and kill him."
Having said that, the corners of Her Royal Highness's lips curled up, revealing a strange smile:
"But killing Shen Lang is not his ultimate goal. Carlos' real goal is to kill Shen Lang, and then try to conquer you, Miss Mu! Killing your husband and taking your wife, Carlos has done this many times in the Western Continent If Ms. Mu doesn't believe it, she can ask the other kingdom envoys, everyone knows what Carlos did. You can also ask Ms. Irene Jie again to confirm whether what I said is true."
"Arrogance!" Before Mu Qingxue could speak, Gu Hongye spoke first. She pressed the hilt of her sword tightly with her palm, her cheeks flushed with anger, "Where does the surname Ka think this is? This is the Eastern Land, not the Western Continent, not the A place where barbarians from the western barbarians can run amok! He still wants to kill Shen Butou and win over your lord, it's just wishful thinking!"
The term "Western Barbarian" undoubtedly scolded Aishaliya.
However, Her Highness the Princess was in a good mood, so she didn't take her seat, she just looked at Mu Qingxue and observed her expression.
It's a pity to disappoint Her Royal Highness.
Mu Qingxue still remained calm, her eyes didn't change at all, as if she was indifferent to Carlos' wild words—well, of course Mu Qingxue wasn't really indifferent, it was just...
Carlos is already dead, so why should she get angry at a dead man's nonsense?
That's right, Mu Qingxue can now confirm how Carlos disappeared.
There is no doubt that Carlos was slaughtered by Shen Lang.
Mu Qingxue even calculated Shen Lang's trajectory——
Shen Lang accompanied Gu Hongye to the Yamen of Shenzhutang yesterday morning, and heard that the arresting head said that Carlos was investigating him.Afterwards, I went to the Storm Hall, met Azalia, and asked about Carlos's personality.
Through Princess Azalia who knew Carlos better, Shen Lang had a clearer and more detailed understanding of Carlos's personality, and guessed that Carlos had evil intentions towards him.
But Shen Lang has a rigorous temperament, and will not arbitrarily determine that Carlos is his life and death enemy based on such a little information.
So at night, after Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi served him, while the two girls were extremely tired and fell asleep, Shen Lang used his best stealth technique to infiltrate the Storm Hall, meet Azalia at night, and ask Azalia for help Inquire about Carlos' true intentions.
Azalia already hated Carlos, but she also wanted to attract Shen Lang—even judging from the princess's "competitive awareness" of herself, this Western princess didn't just want to attract Shen Lang?
In short, based on the princess's completely opposite perception of Carlos and Shen Lang, as long as Shen Lang shows a little hostility towards Carlos, Her Royal Highness is likely to help him.
Aishaliya has another flying dragon, and it takes less than an hour to travel from the capital to Qingjiang Mansion.
So at the end of Haishi [11:[-] p.m.], Aishaliya rode a dragon back to the Qingjiang Mansion Mission's residence, and invited Carlos to a small banquet.
It is undoubtedly too late to invite people to the banquet at this time.
But Carlos is different from ordinary people. This time is when he is having a carnival, and Carlos has been coveting the Red Dragon Princess for a long time.
And Shen Lang, under the pseudonym "Shen Wu", pretended to be the servant of Dongtu recruited by the princess, and stood beside the princess, observing Carlos closely to confirm his hostility.
The princess also cooperated with Shen Lang, prompting Carlos to reveal his intention to inquire about Shen Lang's information.
Mu Qingxue understood her man's temper too well.
Although Shen Lang was four years younger than her, his murderous aura was more than four times stronger than hers.
"Cold-blooded human slaughter" is really not in vain, not only killing the illegitimate son of the emperor is like killing a chicken, but also killing the disciple of the Dazheng Dazheng for a night, and constantly urging Yan Tianying to kill the faint king and take the bird's position...
Mu Qingxue believed that as long as Shen Lang was given a chance, Shen Lang would never be relentless in killing the emperor.
As for Shen Lang's outburst of temper, after Carlos said in front of the princess and Shen Lang that he wanted to kill Shen Lang and take away his wife, Shen Lang absolutely couldn't wait half the night, he had to kill Carlos and then hurry up .
Her Royal Highness also cooperated with Shen Lang and completely angered Carlos with a kiss.Afterwards, he pretended to be worried about Carlos' threat, and when Carlos's master and servant had just left, he led Shen Lang away on a dragon in front of them.
With Carlos' arrogant temperament, he must catch up.
After this chase, Carlos disappeared—maybe even the ashes have been picked up by Shen Lang?
But Carlos is powerful, not only has the cheating "immortality", various unreasonable talents, and a powerful "artifact".
Although Shen Lang has a group of goblin thugs, he also has the strength to kill ordinary third-rank warriors, but he doesn't have such a good weapon. If he wants to kill Carlos, he must ask Azalia to borrow his sword!
Mu Qingxue's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she glanced at the golden sheathed holy sword that Azalia held in both hands. With her current insight, she could naturally see how powerful this holy sword was.
This sword could threaten even her—of course, a weapon is just a weapon after all, and no matter how powerful a weapon is, it's useless if it can't hit someone.
But with Shen Lang's fighting talent, Mu Qingxue believed that if he held this sword, he would definitely be able to create a chance to kill Carlos.
Mu Qingxue's conjectures are of course just conjectures without any evidence.
But she felt that, based on her understanding of Shen Lang and Azalia, who was supposed to be in the capital, she suddenly rushed back to Qingjiang Mansion overnight, and hosted a banquet in the middle of the night for Carlos, whom she hated so much, and his attendant named "Shen Wu." "These few clues, her reasoning, should be close to each other, and there are no mistakes or omissions.
At this time, observing Mu Qingxue for a while, seeing that she remained calm and not showing any anger, Aishaliya felt very bored, and couldn't help asking in a strange tone:
"Miss Mu, you don't seem to be angry with Carlos' wild words? He threatened to kill your husband, but you are not angry... Don't tell me you don't love your husband?"
Listening to this slightly provocative question, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but look at the red lips of Her Highness the Princess, and said to herself that you kissed Shen Lang with this beautiful little mouth last night, right?
It was still a deep kiss for a long time.
Shen Lang may be acting, but you little princess, I'm afraid you took the opportunity to fake the show, right?
Thinking of this, the corners of Mu Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she even had a faint sense of superiority in her heart:
What about a princess?So what about extraordinary blood?Even if you promise with your country and body, Shen Lang will not abandon me and leave Dongtu to follow you...
Well, although Mu Qingxue is kind-hearted by nature, just as she once said to Shen Lang, deep down in her heart, there are occasional dark moments.
At this very moment, she enjoyed this little darkness in her heart very much.
At the same time, he said leisurely:
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry about the family affairs between me and Shen Lang. He knows my feelings for him, and I also understand his feelings for me..."
She stood up, with a smile on her lips, staring at the princess, voice transmission:
"Your Highness, if you want to be with Shen Lang, you must get my consent. I won't allow it. Even if you try your best to seduce him, he won't really have anything to do with you."
Her Royal Highness was startled, looking at Mu Qingxue's half-smile, tasting her words, her little face gradually flushed, and in the emerald green pupils, a shyness first appeared, and then it turned into anger. Yin said:
"Miss Mu, what nonsense are you talking about? Me and Shen Butou...we..."
Mu Qingxue chuckled:
"I heard from Hongye that Shen Lang invited the princess to our house as a guest? I will be at home for the next few days and welcome the princess at any time. Well, next, I will go to the scene where Carlos fought with people and do some on-the-spot investigation. Don't bother His Highness anymore. Farewell!"
He stood up, clasped his fists at the princess, twirled his cloak, turned around and left.
Gu Hongye could also see that the princess was competing with Mu Qingxue, so she spread her arms at the princess with regret, and quickly followed Mu Qingxue.
Aishaliya's pretty face was flushed, her eyes were blazing, and the shadows under her feet turned into dragon shadows, and the "Longwei" could not help but escape, making the maids in the hall tremble and kneel on the ground, almost peeing in fear up.
Seeing that the innocent were unintentionally affected, Aishaliya suppressed her emotions, restrained Longwei, got up and walked out of the hall.
Looking up into the distance, Mu Qingxue saw a pair of golden wings spreading out from her back, and she was leading her female attendant to fly at high speed in the direction where Carlos and Shen Lang fought last night. Summoned the "Red Queen" Chrisfilna, leaped onto the dragon's back, and chased after her on the dragon.
"Lord Mu, that little princess is chasing after me!"
In the sky, Gu Hongye looked back at Aishaliya who was flying over on a dragon, and exclaimed:
"Is that a Western flying dragon? It's so big! It also looks very imposing."
Mu Qingxue glanced back, nodded and praised:
"It's really huge and majestic. The aura is not weak. It is estimated that only a martial artist who has reached the third rank will be able to subdue it."
Gu Hongye said with a smile:
"Lord Mu, the little princess is chasing after her on a dragon, she seems a bit unconvinced."
Mu Qingxue smiled:
"After all, she is young, only 16 years old, with extraordinary blood, strong strength, and a good background. It is impossible for her to be easily convinced."
Gu Hongye asked:
"She doesn't really have thoughts about Butcher Shen, does she?"
Mu Qingxue said lightly:
"My man is so good, isn't it normal to be liked?"
He glanced at Gu Hongye again:
"Don't you like him too?"
Gu Hongye smiled awkwardly and said:
"Then I, I have a different relationship with Shen Butou. We once experienced life and death together in the Black Lotus Devil's Nest, and then lived next to Shen Butou. We often went to his house to have dinner and learn martial arts. It was a long-term relationship... That little girl How many times has the princess met Shen Chuu for the first time?"
Mu Qingxue smiled softly:
"Are you really in love with each other? Didn't you immediately fall in love with him after seeing his true face?"
"Uh……"
Mu Qingxue sighed:
"Shen Lang looks so easy to attract bees and butterflies. It's not an embroidered pillow, but a young hero who is famous in the East... Back then on Shark King Island, he was not as strong as he is now, and he was tanned all over again. Pi, unexpectedly, was still favored by Mrs. Yu in the street, so she directly snatched him back and became the villager.
"Now he wants to be famous and powerful, his body is taller and tougher than a year ago, his face has grown a bit, his skin has turned white, and he looks even more beautiful... being caught by the little princess with a glance, and then It's normal. With the openness of Westerners in matters of men and women, I'm not surprised that the little princess confessed to him on the spot."
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"The little princess kissed Carlos in front of him, which is already a confession."
Mu Qingxue looked at Gu Hongye in surprise:
"You can also guess that the so-called attendant of the little princess is Shen Lang?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"I am now a senior headhunter anyway, and I heard the headhunter Shen talk about investigating the Hu family's mine, so I know the name 'Shenwu'.
"Contact the little princess who rushed back from the capital overnight to the envoy for no reason, and used that kind of far-fetched excuse to have a night banquet with Carlos, and even turned a private banquet into a provocative banquet... How can you not guess that attendant?" Shen Who is Wu'?"
Mu Qingxue nodded happily:
"That's right, Hongye, you are indeed a qualified head catcher in the God of Catchers now."
While speaking, Azalia's voice came from behind:
"Miss Mu, wait for me, I want to challenge you and compete with you!"
[The last three days, there is no double monthly pass this month, it will be too late if you don’t vote, ask for a monthly pass~! 】
(End of this chapter)
next morning.
Gu Hongye had breakfast with Shen Lang and Bai Shishi, rode Bai Shishi's little donkey, and came to the yamen of Shenzhutang with ease, and was about to go find Chief Yan to lead today's task, when suddenly Met an unexpected person.
"Master Mu?"
Looking at Mu Qingxue who was standing under the rainy eaves in front of Yan Tianying's office building, talking with Yan Butou, Gu Hongye's eyes were both pleasantly surprised and a little guilty.
But soon she hid her cautiousness, walked over quickly, and bowed to Mu Qingxue and Yan Bubu:
"Greetings to Mr. Mu and Yan Butou. Mr. Mu, when did you return to Beijing?"
Mu Qingxue paused the conversation with Yan Tutou, and smiled at Gu Hongye:
"Long time no see. I just returned to the capital this morning."
Gu Hongye asked:
"Then why don't you go home? You and Shen Butou separated when you first got married, and you haven't seen each other for more than two months. Shen Butou misses you these days."
A look of shame flashed in Mu Qingxue's eyes—they had been separated for more than two months after they got married, and they hadn't even met face to face. She was really a bit incompetent as a wife.
But she is also helpless in her responsibilities, and can only sigh softly:
"I was planning to go home, but I received a new task."
Gu Hongye asked: "What mission?"
Yan Butou said beside him:
"Prince Carlos, the leader of the envoys of the Kingdom of Ryan, disappeared last night. The Ryan missions searched all night to no avail. They contacted the Ministry of Rites remotely to ask for help. The Ministry of Rites then sent a message to the Shenhuntang, asking them to send elite arresters to assist in the investigation. The Western Mission yesterday Staying at Qingjiang Mansion late at night, it is a little far away from the capital, and the only one who can rush there as soon as possible is Mu Tutou. So, I can only trouble her to make a trip."
"Ah?" Gu Hongye was slightly stunned, with a happy expression on his face, "The person surnamed Ka disappeared?"
cough!
Yan Butou coughed dryly and winked, reminding her not to gloat too clearly.
Gu Hongye quickly restrained her joy, and said solemnly:
"The disappearance of the leader of the foreign mission is indeed a major case!"
Seeing that Gu Hongye and Yan Butou looked a little wrong, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but wonder:
"What do you mean? Then why is Hongye so happy that Prince Carlos is missing?"
The head catcher was only explaining the case to her, and hadn't mentioned Carlos' investigation of Shen Lang's intelligence, so she really didn't know that Carlos might have evil plans for Shen Lang.
Gu Hongye laughed dryly and said:
"Then what, it's the head catcher who received the news that Carlos is collecting information about the head catcher Shen..."
Mu Qingxue frowned, and looked at Yan Butou.
Yan Butou looked serious and nodded slightly:
"This is true."
Mu Qingxue was puzzled and said:
"That Carlos, why did you inquire about Shen Lang's information?"
Yan Butou said in a deep voice:
"After the battle of the Star Death Gate, Shen Butou became famous in Dongtu, and he was hailed as the peerless genius of Dongtu's younger generation, who is on par with Mu Butou. That Carlos is the same age as Shen Butou, and it is said that he is extremely arrogant and excellent. The temperament of fame. Therefore, I guess Carlos may want to challenge Shen Butou in public during the tribute ceremony, and step on Shen Butou to make his name."
Mu Qingxue pondered for a while, and asked:
"Shen Lang also knows about this?"
Yan catches his head and nods:
"That's right, I informed Catcher Shen about this and gave him a piece of information about Carlos."
Mu Qingxue's eyes suddenly became a little subtle.
Last year, Shen Lang had a conflict with Lian Yunxiao, he was threatened by Lian Yunxiao during the day, and was ambushed by Lian Yunxiao's killers in the evening, so without saying a word, Shen Lang sneaked into the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital in the middle of the night and killed Lian Yunxiao directly.
With Shen Lang's lawless nature, knowing that someone has malicious intentions towards him, it's hard to say how he will react - so what if Carlos is a prince?
Shen Lang even dared to kill the illegitimate son of the Eastern Emperor, or shot him in the head in front of so many people, let alone a mere prince from the Western Kingdom?
The Son of God was nothing special, and the Son of God in the East would not be more noble than the direct disciple of Master Bailong.
Shen Lang had shot the prince and beheaded the Daren Daren's direct disciple, and it seemed that it would not be a big deal to kill another Western blood prince.
After pondering for a while, Mu Qingxue calmly said to Yan Butou:
"I'll leave immediately and go to Qingjiang Mansion to assist in the investigation. Hongye, come and assist me."
"Ah?" Gu Hongye was slightly taken aback, surprised and apprehensive at the same time, he stumbled and said, "Can I do it?"
Of course, Gu Hongye was happy to be able to investigate the case with the beloved Mr. Mu.
But Master Mu is so strong, even stronger than Shen Lang, Gu Hongye was a little worried, whether he would hold her back.
Mu Qingxue smiled slightly:
"Of course you can. It's just to assist in the investigation of a disappearance case, and there may not be a chance to do it. Besides, didn't you accompany Shen Lang to go undercover to investigate the case at the Star Death Gate? I heard that Shen Lang was very satisfied with your assistance. Comments high?"
Speaking of this matter, Gu Hongye couldn't help but feel guilty—during the investigation of the Star Death Sect, apart from washing and cooking, she only focused on developing tongue skills and leg and foot skills. Of course Shen Lang was satisfied, but Master Mu didn't know Will you be angry...
Just when her eyes were flickering and wandering, Mu Qingxue had already walked out of the eaves, and she raised her hand to hold Gu Hongye's arm. A pale golden aura instantly spread across Gu Hongye's body, enveloping her.
Afterwards, Mu Qingxue said to Yan Butou:
"Yan Butou, I will take Hongye to Qingjiang Mansion to investigate the case."
Yan Catcher nodded with a smile:
"Bon Voyage!"
Mu Qingxue's back spread out a pair of golden wings that seemed to be made of pure gold, but also like condensed brilliance. With a light slap, she took Gu Hongye on her arms and soared into the sky, rising to a height of thousands of feet, and then turned to fly towards Qingjiang Mansion .
After flying high into the sky.
Even with Mu Qingxue holding her arm and Mu Qingxue's stellar energy covering her body, Gu Hongye was still a little nervous. She tensed up for a while before she gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the novel excitement of flying high in the sky.
While overlooking the mountains and rivers below, Mu Qingxue's voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Is Shen Lang at home last night?"
Gu Hongye focused all her attention on experiencing the thrill of flying and overlooking the ground, and she was a little distracted. At this time, Mu Qingxue asked such a question so abruptly, she immediately replied without thinking:
"Of course I'm at home..."
After answering this sentence, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurried to remedy:
"Master Mu, you know that I live next door to Shen Butou, and we had dinner together last night."
Mu Qingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and heard that Gu Hongye's tone was wrong, so she asked calmly:
"Are you sure he's been there all night?"
"This one……"
Gu Hongye thought for a while, then said cautiously:
"What is certain is that it took a long time after dinner... at least until the beginning of Haishi."
Mu Qingxue said: "After Haichu, you don't know Shen Lang's movements?"
Gu Hongye said with a guilty conscience: "Then, then I shouldn't know! I won't sleep with Shen Butou..."
Mu Qingxue glanced at Gu Hongye subtly. Gu Hongye's cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes flickered to avoid her sight.
Mu Qingxue, as the head of the four famous arresters in the God Catch Hall, didn't gain her fame solely by beating and killing. She is also very good at investigating cases, and she has extremely keen intuition and insight.
Ever since she met Gu Hongye in the yamen, she felt that when Gu Hongye faced her, he always felt a little guilty for no reason, his eyes flickered at every turn, and he couldn't control the naturalness when facing her.
After pondering for a while, she suddenly asked:
"You and Shen Butou... well, did something happen to you?"
Gu Hongye's heart skipped a beat, she had to continue to cover up, but thinking about it, this is her beloved Master Mu, how could she deceive her?
Although Shen Lang said that he would personally ask and report to Master Mu, but Gu Hongye felt that he was the dowry maid of Master Mu, and he belonged to Master Mu, so he had to report to Master Mu himself if there was anything wrong. Only in line with their own identity.
Now he gritted his teeth and made a desperate decision:
"Master Mu, let me confess frankly, I and Shen Butou...we..."
She talked about the things between herself, Bai Shishi and Shen Lang, and emphasized:
"However, we have not crossed the bottom line. I am still a perfect body. If you don't believe me, you can test it yourself."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while after listening, and sighed:
"There is no need to test, I believe you. So, it is Shen Lang who insists that he must ask me for instructions and ask for my consent before he can really accept you?"
Gu Hongye said: "Yes, Shen Tutou is loyal to you, no matter how tempted me and Bai Shishi are, he will not cross the bottom line..."
Mu Qingxue smiled:
"You still speak for him up to now, but you are loyal to him."
Gu Hongye solemnly said:
"Lord Mu, I'm your dowry maid. I accompanied you to pay homage to Shen Butou and married into Shen's family. I'm actually yours."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while, then sighed:
"Only two days after the wedding, my husband was sent out to handle the case. After that, I also left Beijing on business. I couldn't see him for more than two months. I finally returned to Beijing, but I didn't even go back home. When I turned around, I went back to Beijing. Going out of Beijing to investigate the case... Do you think my wife is incompetent?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"My lord, please don't say that. You are also responsible for this, and you have to do it. Shen Butou often said that he is in the public house, and he can't help himself. Since he chose to marry you, he must have expected this in his heart. .”
After a pause, he looked at Mu Qingxue cautiously:
"Master Mu, are you not angry?"
Mu Qingxue chuckled lightly:
"My wife has made me like this, what right does she have to be angry? Shen Lang is at the age of exuberant energy and blood, and he is not satisfied. You and Shishi also accompanied me to pay homage to him in front of Lord Yan and Master Chang. He could have justified and accepted you, but he has been letting you two beauties not really do something, and has endured until now... So restrained himself, and respecting my thoughts so much, I can only be happy..."
Hearing this, Gu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to praise Mrs. Mu for being a mistress, when Mu Qingxue's hand that was holding her arm suddenly withdrew, and the aura that enveloped her dissipated.
Gu Hongye was stunned, and his body flew forward for a while according to the inertia, and then fell towards the ground.
wow ah ah ah...
Gu Hongye yelled and danced.
Mu Qingxue followed Gu Hongye unhurriedly, watching her fall several hundred feet, until she was about to hit a mountain, and then she sped up and swooped down, throwing out a whip of qi, the front end turned into a net shape, wrapping Gu Hongye body.
Gu Hongye flew past a mountain top, her toes touched the leaves on the top of the mountain, her face turned pale with shock, her legs curled up, her hands tightly grasped the qi net that was no different from a solid substance, and she raised her head and shouted:
"Master Mu, I know I was wrong, quickly pull me up!"
The corners of Mu Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, she slowly pulled Gu Hongye up, and took her arm again.
With a sullen face, Gu Hongye looked at Mu Qingxue miserably:
"Master Mu, you scared me to death..."
"I'm actually not that broad-minded, and occasionally I'll have a taste, and even come up with some bad thoughts."
Mu Qingxue said leisurely:
"Although my wife is very incompetent, and I am ashamed to blame my husband, but I still have to punish some vixens who seduce my men while I am away."
Gu Hongye lowered her brows and looked pleasing to the eye, like a copy girl:
"I am Miss's dowry maid. If I do something wrong, I will be beaten and punished at will..."
Mu Qingxue sighed:
"One crime is not punished twice. Since you have been punished just now, even if this matter is exposed, you cannot be punished again. But in the future, when I am at home, how to serve the master, you all have to follow my arrangement."
Gu Hongye nodded repeatedly:
"It should be. It's only natural for the lady to arrange a maid..."
Mu Qingxue said lightly:
"During my absence, besides you and Shishi, has Shen Lang been in contact with other women?"
Gu Hongye said:
"That's not true. When he was at the Starfall Gate, he was busy investigating cases. After he came back, he didn't go out of the gate every day, and he continued to make alchemy and practice. Oh, by the way, we went to the West Market yesterday. At the beginning, he went to the Storm Guild Hall alone to inquire, saying that he had met Princess Azalia of the Storm Kingdom, and Azalia offered him a very generous offer to recruit him."
Mu Qingxue asked:
"What conditions? Did he agree?"
Gu Hongye talked about the conditions offered by Aishaliya, and laughed again:
"Shen Butou is firm-willed. In the face of magnificence, power, and wealth, he was unmoved and refused the princess's solicitation. Of course, Shen Butou also invited the princess to his house out of politeness."
Mu Qingxue nodded in satisfaction, and asked again:
"That Xiyi princess, is she beautiful?"
"Uh, I haven't seen that princess with my own eyes. But it is said that she is only sixteen years old, and she is already the number one beauty in the Storm Kingdom, and she is also the number one beauty in the entire Western Continent."
"The race in the Western Continent is different from ours. Do you think the beauties from the Western Continent can catch the eyes of our Eastern natives?"
"This...Although ordinary women in the Western Continent look awkward to me, there are some exquisite beauties, and I find them very moving when I see them."
Mu Qingxue chuckled lightly:
"Then I'll wait and see how beautiful that princess is."
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"It's definitely not as good as Mrs. Mu. But Princess Aishaliya is in the capital, we go to Qingjiang Mansion, I'm afraid we won't see her."
Mu Qingxue said leisurely:
"That's not necessarily..."
When the envoys of Qingjiang Mansion were stationed, Gu Hongye had to admire Mu Qingxue's mastery of things—Princess Aishaliya, who was still in the capital yesterday, was actually in Qingjiang Mansion today, staying with the envoys of the Storm Kingdom !
Station of the Storm Mission.
in the living room.
Mu Qingxue, dressed in black and wearing a black cloak, was holding a teacup, sitting on top of the guest seat, and the one in the main seat was wearing a white battle skirt, a silver-gray breastplate, a golden crown on his head, and a long sword in both hands. The princess looked at each other silently.
Even though they were of different races, Mu Qingxue had to admit that the number one beauty in the Storm Kingdom was indeed a rare beauty.
Her facial features are exquisite, as if carved by heavenly hands.The skin is white and delicate, supple and smooth, and can be broken by blowing bombs.
Although he is petite, his back is straight, and his appearance of sitting with a sword on his shoulders is quite majestic.
Especially that pretty short hair that looked like a pure gold thread made Mu Qingxue, who had a romantic relationship with gold, very pleasing to the eyes.
When Mu Qingxue was looking at Aishaliya, Her Royal Highness was also looking at Mu Qingxue carefully.
The names of each other have been passed, and Her Royal Highness knows that the goddess catcher in front of her is Shen Lang's wife, a "ruthless steel judge" who is more famous than Shen Lang and has a more dazzling record than Shen Lang.
But Aishaliya, who saw Mu Qingxue for the first time, didn't see any traits related to "ruthlessness and steel" from Mu Qingxue.
I just feel that this goddess has a pure and sweet appearance, and people can't help but feel good about it at first sight.
At the same time, Her Royal Highness also felt the pressure in her heart:
Mu Qingxue is too beautiful.
It's fine if it's only about being beautiful, Her Highness the Princess thought to herself that she would not lose to Mu Qingxue in terms of beauty alone, but the problem is that Mu Qingxue is tall and tall, almost a head taller than her.Those slender and straight long legs even made Her Royal Highness secretly jealous.
Azalia thought to herself that although she was petite, her body proportions were excellent.With her height, her legs can also be regarded as a pair of long legs.
But her "long legs" are only in terms of body proportions, compared with Mu Qingxue's long legs in the absolute sense...
Her Royal Highness suddenly felt that she had been reduced to scum, and was very depressed for a while.
She can only comfort herself:
I'm still only 16 years old, and I still have the possibility to continue to grow.And Mu Qingxue, who is 22 years old, has already established her height. In the future, I might grow up to be as tall as her, or even taller than her!
Although a girl's height growth will suddenly slow down after the age of 16, and she will not grow much taller until she is completely finalized, but what if there is a miracle?
After some self-consolation, Her Royal Highness pulled herself together again, straightened her back, and looked at Mu Qingxue without hesitation.
Gu Hongye, who was standing by Mu Qingxue's side, faintly felt that something was wrong with Azalia's aura——
How can this princess of Xiyi, who can be called a stunning beauty, whose beauty is comparable to Mu Qingxue's, and each has her own merits, feel a little hostile towards Mu Qingxue... Well, hostility is not quite appropriate, maybe it should be "competitive awareness" to describe?
However, one is a princess from the west, and the other is a famous prisoner from the east. The two have nothing to do with each other. Today is even the first time they meet.Why does this Red Dragon Princess regard Mu Qingxue as an opponent inexplicably, and show such a sense of competition in terms of aura while looking at each other?
Could it be that because Shen Lang was rejected, he felt dissatisfied and felt angry, thinking that Mr. Mu tied Shen Butou to Dongtu?
Gu Hongye, a bystander, could see it, and of course it was impossible for Mu Qingxue not to feel it.
But before she came, she already had some guesses in her heart. She was not too surprised by Azalia's strong sense of competition. She just lowered her eyelashes calmly, avoiding the princess's sight—it's not that she couldn't bear it. The aura of the princess really made Mu Qingxue feel that as an adult, she didn't need to be as knowledgeable as a little girl who was six years younger than her.
After that, she took a sip of tea and said lightly:
"Your Highness, I think you already understand the reason for my visit."
Azalia said crisply:
"Of course. I know you're here to investigate Carlos' disappearance, and I know why you're visiting me. Yes, I was the last person to see Carlos last night, but I don't know anything about his disappearance." I know. Instead of asking me, Ms. Mu might as well ask Carlos' clerk. She was the first person who arrived at the scene of the suspected Carlos battle."
When she was speaking, she was also secretly happy in her heart, saying that you are Shen Lang's wife, but you still don't know about Shen Lang's murder of Carlos.
It can be seen that Shen Lang regards this matter as a common secret between him and me, not even sharing it with his own wife——this is a misunderstanding, Your Royal Highness, the reason why Mu Qingxue didn't know about this matter is purely because she hasn't had time to come back At home, he was ordered to come to Qingjiang Mansion.
If Mu Qingxue returns home, Shen Lang will definitely not hide it from her.
"I've already asked the clerk, Miss Irene Jie."
Mu Qingxue remained calm, and looked at Aishaliya again, observing her eyes and expression:
"According to Miss Erinjie, you had a verbal conflict with Carlos last night. Carlos threatened to kill your attendant, so you rode a dragon to send away the attendant you recruited in the East?"
"That's right!" Azalia nodded, "Carlos chased after him, but before he caught up, I took advantage of the opportunity to get out of his sight, put my attendant in the forest, and then continued to ride the dragon to attract Carlos' attention caused him to chase me for more than 100 miles in vain."
Mu Qingxue stared into her eyes, "After Carlos got close, he found that you were the only one on the dragon's back. Out of anger, he searched for that attendant everywhere?"
Aishaliya looked at Mu Qingxue without guilt:
"That's right. I rode a dragon back to the manor, and I met Miss Erinjie on the way. I wanted to invite her to come back with me on a dragon ride, but she was worried about Carlos, so she declined my invitation and continued to chase after Kalos. Rose."
Mu Qingxue asked again: "Afterwards, Your Royal Highness, you went back to the manor without further delay?"
Azalia nodded: "Of course. Everyone, including the members of the Ryan mission, saw the situation when I came back riding a dragon."
Mu Qingxue asked: "Where's your attendant? He didn't come back?"
Azalia sneered: "What are you doing when you come back? Carlos is cruel and vicious. He has already threatened my servant's life. I can only let him go. I dare not take him with me again to avoid being killed by Carlos."
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:
"Excuse me, Your Highness, what is the name of your attendant?"
Aishaliya without thinking:
"Shen Wu. His name is Shen Wu."
"Shen Wu?"
Mu Qingxue's eyes became subtle - she recognized Shen Wu, the master brother of the Chasing Wind School.
More than two months ago, she successfully cleared the customs and was promoted to the second rank. After a little consolidation, she left the customs and rushed to support Shen Lang who was investigating the cannibal case of the four-winged demon owl. Shen Wu.
Shen Wu is an upright person, caring for fellow students, not weak in martial arts, and handsome in appearance, but with Shen Wu's cultivation, it is impossible to be favored by this high-strength, superior bloodline, and noble-born princess.
Eileen Jie said that the reason why Her Royal Highness made Carlos so angry that she must kill that attendant soon after that was because Her Royal Highness kissed her attendant deeply for a long time in front of Carlos and Irene Jie.
It's hard for Mu Qingxue to imagine that this arrogant princess, who never loses momentum when facing her, and even wants to overwhelm her, would take the initiative to kiss Shen Wu, the big brother of the Chasing Wind Sect, even if it was to fight back Carlos threatened.
It's almost the same as Shen Lang.
But Mu Qingxue didn't expose the princess, she just calmly said:
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your cooperation. I have already asked all the questions I want to ask, so I will take my leave."
Said, put down the teacup, and was about to get up.
"Wait a minute!" Her Royal Highness said in Dongtu official dialect: "Miss Mu, do you know why I had a verbal conflict with Carlos, and finally made Carlos angry?"
Mu Qingxue said:
"According to Ms. Irene Jie, Carlos disrespected the princess and tried to force her to marry him?"
Azalia smiled slightly:
"The forced marriage happened after the verbal conflict gradually intensified. It seems that Aileen Jie did not inform Ms. Mu of the initial source of the conflict. I can understand Aileen Jie's concealment. After all, the source of the verbal conflict between me and Carlos The source, speaking of it, is also related to Miss Mu."
"Oh?" Mu Qingxue was slightly surprised, and sat down again: "Why do you involve me in the conflict between the princess and Carlos?"
Aishaliya stared at Mu Qingxue, and said leisurely:
"Carlos is investigating your husband Shen Lang. I happen to be very interested in Shen Lang and want to recruit him. I heard about Carlos' investigation, so I invited him to a small banquet to find out his purpose. See if it conflicts with my purpose. But guess what he told me?"
"Princess, please tell me, Mu Mou is all ears."
Aishaliya looked serious, and said in a deep voice:
"Carlos said that he inquired about Shen Lang's information just to challenge him and kill him."
Having said that, the corners of Her Royal Highness's lips curled up, revealing a strange smile:
"But killing Shen Lang is not his ultimate goal. Carlos' real goal is to kill Shen Lang, and then try to conquer you, Miss Mu! Killing your husband and taking your wife, Carlos has done this many times in the Western Continent If Ms. Mu doesn't believe it, she can ask the other kingdom envoys, everyone knows what Carlos did. You can also ask Ms. Irene Jie again to confirm whether what I said is true."
"Arrogance!" Before Mu Qingxue could speak, Gu Hongye spoke first. She pressed the hilt of her sword tightly with her palm, her cheeks flushed with anger, "Where does the surname Ka think this is? This is the Eastern Land, not the Western Continent, not the A place where barbarians from the western barbarians can run amok! He still wants to kill Shen Butou and win over your lord, it's just wishful thinking!"
The term "Western Barbarian" undoubtedly scolded Aishaliya.
However, Her Highness the Princess was in a good mood, so she didn't take her seat, she just looked at Mu Qingxue and observed her expression.
It's a pity to disappoint Her Royal Highness.
Mu Qingxue still remained calm, her eyes didn't change at all, as if she was indifferent to Carlos' wild words—well, of course Mu Qingxue wasn't really indifferent, it was just...
Carlos is already dead, so why should she get angry at a dead man's nonsense?
That's right, Mu Qingxue can now confirm how Carlos disappeared.
There is no doubt that Carlos was slaughtered by Shen Lang.
Mu Qingxue even calculated Shen Lang's trajectory——
Shen Lang accompanied Gu Hongye to the Yamen of Shenzhutang yesterday morning, and heard that the arresting head said that Carlos was investigating him.Afterwards, I went to the Storm Hall, met Azalia, and asked about Carlos's personality.
Through Princess Azalia who knew Carlos better, Shen Lang had a clearer and more detailed understanding of Carlos's personality, and guessed that Carlos had evil intentions towards him.
But Shen Lang has a rigorous temperament, and will not arbitrarily determine that Carlos is his life and death enemy based on such a little information.
So at night, after Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi served him, while the two girls were extremely tired and fell asleep, Shen Lang used his best stealth technique to infiltrate the Storm Hall, meet Azalia at night, and ask Azalia for help Inquire about Carlos' true intentions.
Azalia already hated Carlos, but she also wanted to attract Shen Lang—even judging from the princess's "competitive awareness" of herself, this Western princess didn't just want to attract Shen Lang?
In short, based on the princess's completely opposite perception of Carlos and Shen Lang, as long as Shen Lang shows a little hostility towards Carlos, Her Royal Highness is likely to help him.
Aishaliya has another flying dragon, and it takes less than an hour to travel from the capital to Qingjiang Mansion.
So at the end of Haishi [11:[-] p.m.], Aishaliya rode a dragon back to the Qingjiang Mansion Mission's residence, and invited Carlos to a small banquet.
It is undoubtedly too late to invite people to the banquet at this time.
But Carlos is different from ordinary people. This time is when he is having a carnival, and Carlos has been coveting the Red Dragon Princess for a long time.
And Shen Lang, under the pseudonym "Shen Wu", pretended to be the servant of Dongtu recruited by the princess, and stood beside the princess, observing Carlos closely to confirm his hostility.
The princess also cooperated with Shen Lang, prompting Carlos to reveal his intention to inquire about Shen Lang's information.
Mu Qingxue understood her man's temper too well.
Although Shen Lang was four years younger than her, his murderous aura was more than four times stronger than hers.
"Cold-blooded human slaughter" is really not in vain, not only killing the illegitimate son of the emperor is like killing a chicken, but also killing the disciple of the Dazheng Dazheng for a night, and constantly urging Yan Tianying to kill the faint king and take the bird's position...
Mu Qingxue believed that as long as Shen Lang was given a chance, Shen Lang would never be relentless in killing the emperor.
As for Shen Lang's outburst of temper, after Carlos said in front of the princess and Shen Lang that he wanted to kill Shen Lang and take away his wife, Shen Lang absolutely couldn't wait half the night, he had to kill Carlos and then hurry up .
Her Royal Highness also cooperated with Shen Lang and completely angered Carlos with a kiss.Afterwards, he pretended to be worried about Carlos' threat, and when Carlos's master and servant had just left, he led Shen Lang away on a dragon in front of them.
With Carlos' arrogant temperament, he must catch up.
After this chase, Carlos disappeared—maybe even the ashes have been picked up by Shen Lang?
But Carlos is powerful, not only has the cheating "immortality", various unreasonable talents, and a powerful "artifact".
Although Shen Lang has a group of goblin thugs, he also has the strength to kill ordinary third-rank warriors, but he doesn't have such a good weapon. If he wants to kill Carlos, he must ask Azalia to borrow his sword!
Mu Qingxue's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she glanced at the golden sheathed holy sword that Azalia held in both hands. With her current insight, she could naturally see how powerful this holy sword was.
This sword could threaten even her—of course, a weapon is just a weapon after all, and no matter how powerful a weapon is, it's useless if it can't hit someone.
But with Shen Lang's fighting talent, Mu Qingxue believed that if he held this sword, he would definitely be able to create a chance to kill Carlos.
Mu Qingxue's conjectures are of course just conjectures without any evidence.
But she felt that, based on her understanding of Shen Lang and Azalia, who was supposed to be in the capital, she suddenly rushed back to Qingjiang Mansion overnight, and hosted a banquet in the middle of the night for Carlos, whom she hated so much, and his attendant named "Shen Wu." "These few clues, her reasoning, should be close to each other, and there are no mistakes or omissions.
At this time, observing Mu Qingxue for a while, seeing that she remained calm and not showing any anger, Aishaliya felt very bored, and couldn't help asking in a strange tone:
"Miss Mu, you don't seem to be angry with Carlos' wild words? He threatened to kill your husband, but you are not angry... Don't tell me you don't love your husband?"
Listening to this slightly provocative question, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but look at the red lips of Her Highness the Princess, and said to herself that you kissed Shen Lang with this beautiful little mouth last night, right?
It was still a deep kiss for a long time.
Shen Lang may be acting, but you little princess, I'm afraid you took the opportunity to fake the show, right?
Thinking of this, the corners of Mu Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she even had a faint sense of superiority in her heart:
What about a princess?So what about extraordinary blood?Even if you promise with your country and body, Shen Lang will not abandon me and leave Dongtu to follow you...
Well, although Mu Qingxue is kind-hearted by nature, just as she once said to Shen Lang, deep down in her heart, there are occasional dark moments.
At this very moment, she enjoyed this little darkness in her heart very much.
At the same time, he said leisurely:
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry about the family affairs between me and Shen Lang. He knows my feelings for him, and I also understand his feelings for me..."
She stood up, with a smile on her lips, staring at the princess, voice transmission:
"Your Highness, if you want to be with Shen Lang, you must get my consent. I won't allow it. Even if you try your best to seduce him, he won't really have anything to do with you."
Her Royal Highness was startled, looking at Mu Qingxue's half-smile, tasting her words, her little face gradually flushed, and in the emerald green pupils, a shyness first appeared, and then it turned into anger. Yin said:
"Miss Mu, what nonsense are you talking about? Me and Shen Butou...we..."
Mu Qingxue chuckled:
"I heard from Hongye that Shen Lang invited the princess to our house as a guest? I will be at home for the next few days and welcome the princess at any time. Well, next, I will go to the scene where Carlos fought with people and do some on-the-spot investigation. Don't bother His Highness anymore. Farewell!"
He stood up, clasped his fists at the princess, twirled his cloak, turned around and left.
Gu Hongye could also see that the princess was competing with Mu Qingxue, so she spread her arms at the princess with regret, and quickly followed Mu Qingxue.
Aishaliya's pretty face was flushed, her eyes were blazing, and the shadows under her feet turned into dragon shadows, and the "Longwei" could not help but escape, making the maids in the hall tremble and kneel on the ground, almost peeing in fear up.
Seeing that the innocent were unintentionally affected, Aishaliya suppressed her emotions, restrained Longwei, got up and walked out of the hall.
Looking up into the distance, Mu Qingxue saw a pair of golden wings spreading out from her back, and she was leading her female attendant to fly at high speed in the direction where Carlos and Shen Lang fought last night. Summoned the "Red Queen" Chrisfilna, leaped onto the dragon's back, and chased after her on the dragon.
"Lord Mu, that little princess is chasing after me!"
In the sky, Gu Hongye looked back at Aishaliya who was flying over on a dragon, and exclaimed:
"Is that a Western flying dragon? It's so big! It also looks very imposing."
Mu Qingxue glanced back, nodded and praised:
"It's really huge and majestic. The aura is not weak. It is estimated that only a martial artist who has reached the third rank will be able to subdue it."
Gu Hongye said with a smile:
"Lord Mu, the little princess is chasing after her on a dragon, she seems a bit unconvinced."
Mu Qingxue smiled:
"After all, she is young, only 16 years old, with extraordinary blood, strong strength, and a good background. It is impossible for her to be easily convinced."
Gu Hongye asked:
"She doesn't really have thoughts about Butcher Shen, does she?"
Mu Qingxue said lightly:
"My man is so good, isn't it normal to be liked?"
He glanced at Gu Hongye again:
"Don't you like him too?"
Gu Hongye smiled awkwardly and said:
"Then I, I have a different relationship with Shen Butou. We once experienced life and death together in the Black Lotus Devil's Nest, and then lived next to Shen Butou. We often went to his house to have dinner and learn martial arts. It was a long-term relationship... That little girl How many times has the princess met Shen Chuu for the first time?"
Mu Qingxue smiled softly:
"Are you really in love with each other? Didn't you immediately fall in love with him after seeing his true face?"
"Uh……"
Mu Qingxue sighed:
"Shen Lang looks so easy to attract bees and butterflies. It's not an embroidered pillow, but a young hero who is famous in the East... Back then on Shark King Island, he was not as strong as he is now, and he was tanned all over again. Pi, unexpectedly, was still favored by Mrs. Yu in the street, so she directly snatched him back and became the villager.
"Now he wants to be famous and powerful, his body is taller and tougher than a year ago, his face has grown a bit, his skin has turned white, and he looks even more beautiful... being caught by the little princess with a glance, and then It's normal. With the openness of Westerners in matters of men and women, I'm not surprised that the little princess confessed to him on the spot."
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"The little princess kissed Carlos in front of him, which is already a confession."
Mu Qingxue looked at Gu Hongye in surprise:
"You can also guess that the so-called attendant of the little princess is Shen Lang?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"I am now a senior headhunter anyway, and I heard the headhunter Shen talk about investigating the Hu family's mine, so I know the name 'Shenwu'.
"Contact the little princess who rushed back from the capital overnight to the envoy for no reason, and used that kind of far-fetched excuse to have a night banquet with Carlos, and even turned a private banquet into a provocative banquet... How can you not guess that attendant?" Shen Who is Wu'?"
Mu Qingxue nodded happily:
"That's right, Hongye, you are indeed a qualified head catcher in the God of Catchers now."
While speaking, Azalia's voice came from behind:
"Miss Mu, wait for me, I want to challenge you and compete with you!"
