Chapter 89: Her information is confidential at this time, and is classified as top secret in Zui Weng Lou...
The next day.
Mu Xingchen returned to Kyoto in disguise. At this moment, the streets were extremely lively and people were talking about it.
"Oh, have you heard? The Mu family was wiped out yesterday. It was so tragic. Only the second daughter, Mu Lin, survived. According to Mu Lin, it was the eldest daughter, Mu Qing, who wiped out the Mu family."
"How is this possible? Isn't Mu Qing a loser? Among the dead in the Mu family was an elder of the Mu family, the elder who controlled the Soul Burning Mirror."
"You don't know this. According to Mu Lin, Mu Qing is also in the Soul Burning Mirror and has colluded with the Yuegan Clan!"
"What? The Yuegan tribe? That's simply too hateful! We must catch her!"
"So, was the fire at the Prince's Mansion yesterday, which severely injured the Prince, also the work of her and the Yuegan Clan? Is their goal to destroy the country? Perhaps all of this is a conspiracy by the Yuegan Clan, and Mu Qing betrayed the clan from the beginning, not even sparing her own family."
"How despicable! Fortunately, Mu Lin is now under the protection of the royal family. The royal family said they will hunt down the murderer and the Yuegan clan lurking in Kyoto at all costs. We will just wait for good news."
…
Mu Xingchen slowly joined the crowd and saw a government wanted poster and a portrait in front of her. If the person in the portrait wasn't her, who else could it be?
She sighed in her heart: "Tsk, it is indeed necessary to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely."
Xiao Qi was speechless. "I thought that woman would be able to leave the Mu Mansion after surviving. Who knew she would harbor the intention of revenge for the Mu family? It would have been better to kill her yesterday and put an end to it all."
Mu Xingchen narrowed her eyes, her chin resting on her chest as she pondered, "Something feels off. It looks like there must be someone else behind this. Otherwise, given her mental state, she wouldn't have recovered so quickly. You said the Mu family's extermination was intended to instigate the Yuegan clan, exacerbating the hatred between the two clans. Who benefits most from this?"
Xiao Qi said in a deep voice: "Could it be..."
At this moment, Mu Xingchen suddenly turned around sharply. In the crowd, she saw a girl in a pink dress and a white veil hat nodding at her deliberately.
Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes and followed the girl.
After an incense stick of time, the two arrived at a secluded house.
Li Yu lifted her veil at the door, bowed her head and said respectfully: "Miss Mu, my young lady is waiting for you inside."
Mu Xingchen turned around and saw that the door of the house was wide open. At a glance, he could see a woman in a black dress.
She walked in with a smile.
The courtyard is very large, but it is empty. It is obvious that no one has lived there for a long time.
Mu Xingchen sat across from Mo Fei and greeted him like a good friend, "It's been a long time since we last met, General."
Mo Fei paused while pouring tea, she looked up and smiled, "Long time no see." After that, she handed the tea she had just poured to Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen took the tea, and her smile gradually faded. She looked at the tea leaves in the cup and said in a complicated way, "This is the first time in my life that I've been used as a pawn. General Mo is very brave." After saying that, she raised her head and looked at her straight, with a hint of oppressive coldness in her eyes.
Mo Fei smiled nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, but one of my original intentions was to save you."
Mu Xingchen put down the teacup in his hand heavily and laughed sarcastically, "You betrayed my information, then used me to intensify the conflict between the two tribes, and finally said you would save me? Interesting."
Mo Fei paused, then stood up and poured another cup of tea for Mu Xingchen. She sighed, "Once this news gets out, the court will immediately impose martial law, and Li Jing will definitely not leave you in Kyoto. This is the best time for you, Miss Mu, to escape from him. However, I didn't predict that Qiansha Pavilion would take action in the end."
After saying that, she sat back.
Mu Xingchen raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. She stroked the new teacup and said meaningfully, "Then I have to thank you?"
Mo Fei shook his head and said apologetically, "I took advantage of Miss Mu, but I definitely don't want to be her enemy. So from now on, if Miss Mu needs anything, Zui Weng Lou will definitely help her. And from now on, Zui Weng Lou will not sell any information about Miss Mu. Whether it's Mu Qing or Mu Xingchen, it will become a taboo."
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of his lips and said, "The whole of Kyoto, no, the whole of Xiyao is looking for me. Even if Zui Wenglou doesn't sell the information, how can you be sure that I won't be found by others?"
Mo Fei smiled and said, "Then I'll tell Miss Mu another piece of information to pass on my skills, okay?"
Mu Xingchen took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Tell me about it?"
Mo Fei smiled and said, "For example, there is news about Wenhe Luoshang."
The smile on Mu Xingchen's lips faded, "Do you think I care about her?"
Mo Fei shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether I care or not, but I just feel that being wanted is not a big deal to Miss Mu. In comparison, Wen He's news seems more important. After all, the court is currently preoccupied with the Mu family's extermination, and the Yuegan clan is the first to bear the brunt of the suspicion. Miss Mu is at best just a bystander, and not many people will pay attention to you. So with Miss Mu's ability, why would she worry about being wanted by anyone?"
She paused after saying this, "As for the news about the river, it's just because I want to curry favor with Miss Mu."
Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
Mo Fei continued, "Zuiwenglou paid a huge price to reveal her information. This secret is considered Zuiwenglou's top secret."
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of his lips and asked calmly, "Okay, then... it's a deal."
Mo Fei: "Miss Mu is straightforward."
Mu Xingchen: "Where is she?"
Mo Fei smiled and said: "Kyoto."
Mu Xingchen's eyes narrowed.
Mo Fei continued, "Neither she nor Wenhe Batian has left the capital yet." She took out a piece of paper, then stood up and leaned close to Mu Xingchen's ear, saying, "I didn't let Mu Lin leak the news about Wenhe because I wanted to give you the right to deal with her. But if you want her to pay the price, the royal family's 100,000-strong army will descend on us, just like they did twenty years ago."
After she finished speaking, she straightened up. "By the way, Xiao Su has now been secretly ordered to lead 100,000 soldiers from the south into the capital. His first purpose is to completely eradicate all the hidden Yuegan people in Kyoto. So, regarding Li Jing, it depends on what you think. This is the second piece of news I have from Miss Mu."
A war between the two tribes will break out soon.
The smile on Mo Fei's lips became more and more intense, and a hint of pleasure flashed across her eyes.
"Goodbye!"
Mu Xingchen looked at Mo Fei's back with a heavy brow.
The two tribes fought a great battle, resulting in either death or injury.
But Li Jing is now poisoned and the antidote will take seven days.
The army would not enter the capital for another month. Would he have enough time to make plans?
Xiao Qi asked, "Xingchen, do you want to intervene in this matter?"
Mu Xingchen looked at the note on the table with serious eyes, and she picked up the note.
There are three words written on it.
Wangyue Tower.
Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes: "Wangyue Tower, Wuyou Ferry, the best wine in the world is in there."
The next second, the note in her hand spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes.
After an incense stick of time, Mu Xingchen arrived at Wangyue Tower.
Wangyue Tower was unusually lively today. The lobby was filled with voices, all of whom were discussing the extermination of the Mu family.
When the waiter saw Mu Xingchen standing at the door, his eyes lit up and he came over immediately.
"Hey, sir, would you like to come in and taste the new "Two Forgets" from Wangyue Tower?"
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "Forget each other? What a good name!"
The waiter smiled and said, "You are right, guest. This is the wine our host has developed. If you drink it, no matter how many sorrows you have experienced in the past, you will be able to forget them completely, even your loved ones."
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "Then let's have two pots of wine and forget each other in the superior room."
Waiter: "Okay, sir, please go up to the third floor."
Mu Xingchen smiled and said in a slightly cold voice, "I want the one with Yanluozui and the Gate of Rebirth."
The waiter's smile froze. "Sir, that room is occupied today. It's really unfortunate. How about I change it for you?"
Mu Xingchen strode forward and sighed, "As for me, I happen to have an appointment with that person today."
"Hey!" The waiter looked at Mu Xingchen's back and opened his mouth, "Sir!" He hurriedly chased after him but was pushed back by Mu Xingchen with a palm.
"Hey! Sir, there really is someone here!!!" the waiter shouted from behind.
Mu Xingchen came to the third floor.
The upper room she was talking about was at the very back of the third floor.
The sign hanging at the door reads "Yama Drunk" during the day and "Gate of Rebirth" at night, so the wine served is naturally different.
Mu Xingchen pushed the door open straight away.
"Hey, uncle?"
She looked at the people in the room with a smile. There were two people in the room, Wenhe Luoshang who was sitting and Wenhe Batian who was standing beside him.
"Why are you here?" Wen He Batian frowned.
Mu Xingchen did not answer him, but looked at Wen He Luoshang, the so-called biological mother of Mu Qing.
Wen He Luoshang was wearing a dark purple dress. She was only in her forties, but her hair was already completely white. You know, for cultivators, people in their forties are still very young, but her hair was already gray.
Wen He Luoshang took a big sip of the wine in his hand, then turned around and said drunkenly: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Wen He Batian frowned and said, "Sister!"
Wenhe Luoshang waved his hand and said drunkenly to Wenhe Batian, "Get out. I have something to say to her."
Wen He Batian pursed his lips, turned his head to glance at Mu Xingchen, and then disappeared into the room.
Wen He Luoshang knocked on the table, then turned to look at Mu Xingchen and said with a smile, "Come, try my newly brewed oblivion."
Mu Xingchen walked over silently and sat beside her.
Wen He Luoshang poured her a glass and said, "Try it and see if this wine tastes good."
Mu Xingchen glanced at the wine glass on the table and picked it up expressionlessly. As soon as she brought it close to her nose, she was hit by a whiff of alcohol that hit her head. She finally understood why they said "the two forget each other." With that level of alcohol, it was hard not to forget.
She put down her wine glass and said directly, "Senior, do you know why I'm here?"
