Chapter 48: Where is Fengxue? What is she doing? ...
The more they talked, the lower the air pressure in the entire cold pool became.
The water around Li Jing slowly froze, a thick layer of fog appeared on the ice surface, and the temperature in the cave dropped sharply.
Qi Feng shivered in fear. No, snakes aren't afraid of the cold, he is.
"Lord...Lord..."
Li Jing's purple pupils perked up slightly, and his white hair gradually froze over. An inexplicable malevolent aura, mixed with a strong demonic energy, washed over the entire cold pool, freezing the two people above them almost stiff.
He is angry.
Fengxue half-knelt on the ground, motionless.
"Qi Feng." Li Jing said in a low voice, "Let me regain my identity as soon as possible."
Qi Feng closed his eyes and almost couldn't breathe. He wanted to speak, but his teeth were chattering from the cold.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, please think twice!"
The demon pill was almost shattered and was seriously injured. Even the white hair could not cover it up. When he regained his identity, he was in crisis.
Fengxue raised her head with bloodshot eyes and said, "Master, I will take care of this matter." After that, she left Hanchi.
No matter what, we cannot allow the Lord to appear in the world while seriously injured because of this incident.
No matter what the cost.
"Have someone keep an eye on her," Li Jing said calmly. "Send Xu Cen back."
Qi Feng's eyes lit up: "Yes."
"Give orders to find Mo Fei before reaching Qiansha Pavilion, and he must be found alive. Also, since he's so idle, try to trip him up."
This "he" obviously refers to Xiao Su.
"yes."
A cold light flashed in Li Jing's eyes.
Xiao Su.
…
General's Mansion.
Li Yun played with white pieces. After thinking for a moment, he placed a piece on the board.
He said calmly, "The general really wants to marry Mu Qing."
Xiao Su blocked his retreat with his black spot and asked curiously, "Why not marry her? I'm actually quite interested in her."
"Oh? A loser can arouse the general's interest?"
"Waste? Not necessarily." A dark light flashed in Xiao Su's eyes.
Li Yun placed another white piece, retreating to advance, "What do you mean?"
"Intuition. I have a feeling that woman is hiding some secret." Li Su thought of the woman he met that day and narrowed his eyes. "If they know each other, who could she be?"
Li Yun raised an eyebrow. "General, are you talking about the girl who scolded you the other day?" He lowered his head, sighed, and smiled knowingly. "It seems like the drunkard's intention is not to drink. He is just curious about others and wants to lure them out of their hole."
After Li Su placed his last piece, he stared at the chessboard in a daze.
All is lost.
Li Yun looked at the chessboard and chuckled, "All the spirits in this game have disappeared. I'm afraid the general has fallen in love with that girl at first sight. It's like the Iron Bodhisattva blooms only once in a thousand years."
love at first sight?
Li Su narrowed his eyes. Those four words were not in his dictionary.
However, the feeling of the woman's voice that day was too familiar to him.
She was wearing a veil, so nothing could be seen except her eyes and the way she spoke... so familiar.
Li Su curled the corners of his lips and said, "We'll meet again eventually, and we'll know any secrets eventually."
…
Drunk in the building.
Mo Fei is currently sitting in front of a bronze mirror, carefully drawing his eyebrows.
After a moment, she put down the indigo in her hand and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
The person in the mirror had a face full of powder, rosy lipstick, and slightly frivolous eyeliner at the end of her eyes. This makeup blended all the cold colors on her face. Her eyebrows and eyes were no longer the same as before, and her temperament was like two different people from the cold and frosty her before.
Mo Fei looked down along the bronze mirror and saw that the indigo on the table was particularly eye-catching among the rouge.
She stared at the indigo in a daze, and in a flash she seemed to see him still behind her.
He was still dressed in white. He picked up the indigo from the table and walked over to her to lightly draw her eyebrows. He whispered softly in her ear, "A Fei, if I'm not around anymore, you have to learn how to disguise yourself and protect yourself."
She almost immediately denied it with a smile, "That won't do, Ah Yue. I will take you with me wherever I go, unless I die in battle, or you die in battle. But there will never be such a possibility. I will protect myself, and I will protect you even more."
She was young and confident that year and she never imagined that these words would come true many years later.
But the person who died was not her.
"Bang--" the indigo flower was knocked to the ground.
Mo Fei came to his senses.
The door outside creaked open, and Li Yu walked in with a serious expression. She whispered beside Mo Fei, "Miss, Mu Qing and Xiao Su are engaged."
Is it possible that his eyes flashed and his pupils turned into frost?
Li Yu frowned and pursed his lips and said, "If the Mu family and Xiao Su marry, Xiao Su will most likely be won over by Li Yan."
Mo Fei said coldly, "Mu Qing won't survive if she marries him."
Li Yu was puzzled and asked, "Even if he is bloodthirsty, Mu Qing is still the legitimate daughter of the Emperor's teacher. Would he dare to kill her?"
Mo Fei lowered his eyes and said, "Xiao Li, there are many ways to kill someone, such as making them die of illness without anyone noticing. Xiao Su will definitely not really marry Mu Qing."
Li Yu was even more confused. "What's the Mu family's intention in doing this? If they can't win them over, isn't it a waste of time?"
Mo Fei chuckled sarcastically and said, "Mu Qing wasn't valued by the Mu family, so her death at the hands of Xiao Su wouldn't have been a major concern for either family. However, this has actually exposed the two families as being entangled. Xiao Su is both the son-in-law and a disciple of the Mu family. Even if he wasn't truly wooed by Li Yan, to outsiders, it would appear that Xiao Su was in cahoots with the Mu family. That's enough."
Li Yu understood, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. "But Xiao Su is not someone who can be manipulated. He will definitely be dissatisfied with the Mu family's calculations to force Mu Qing to marry him. Although Mu Qing's death is not a big deal, it will definitely make him feel more or less resentful. So this is a good opportunity to drive a wedge between the two families, right, Miss?"
Maybe he agreed.
If you want to kill Li Yan, you must first kill the people around him.
"Then we can just let it go."
Mo Fei was silent for a moment.
"No." She whispered, "We have to help her break off the engagement."
"Why, Miss?" Li Yu asked excitedly, "She had done that for Li Yan..."
"Xiao Li, she's not doing this for Li Yan." Mo Fei curled his lips and said, "I have a feeling that in overthrowing the Li Yao royal family, the waves that Mu Qing will stir up will be unexpected. She will definitely become an important chess piece in my quest to destroy the Li Yao royal family."
Could it be that his aura has changed significantly at this moment?
Li Yu was a little frightened. Although she didn't understand why that person was Mu Qing, she believed her young lady.
…….
In the evening, a new person came to deliver dinner.
Mu Xingchen stared at the man in black in front of him and asked in confusion: "Where is Sister Fengxue?"
The man in black paused as he put down the plate, and looked at Mu Xingchen hesitantly.
Mu Xingchen frowned slightly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Sister Fengxue?"
The man in black remained silent and continued to arrange the dishes.
Mu Xingchen narrowed her eyes and said coquettishly, "If you don't tell me, I will complain to Brother Jing and ask him to replace you!"
The man in black almost dropped the plate in his hand because of a trembling hand.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Fengxue, she..." He found it difficult to speak.
"Speak!" Why are you so anxious?
The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "In... in Zuiqinglou."
Mu Xingchen looked confused. Zui Qing Lou? What did he do?
Xiao Qi answered the question, "The largest brothel in Kyoto."
Mu Xingchen almost spit out a mouthful of tea. She asked the man in black, "What is she doing in Zui Qing Lou???"
The man in black was sweating coldly, "She...she tried to find a way to get you and Xiao Su to break off the engagement."
Mu Xingchen stood up suddenly.
What are you doing??? Are you trying to seduce me like her???
Xiao Qi also fell silent. She sighed, "If you don't learn good things, you will learn bad things. It's a pity that the beautiful iceberg girl has to clean up your mess. Tsk, what a sin."
Mu Xingchen couldn't breathe out. She gritted her teeth and said in her heart: "No, that man is a waste? Does Fengxue need to do this kind of thing???"
Li Jing, who was far away in Hanchi, yawned inexplicably.
He frowned and asked, "Where is Xu Cen?"
Qi Feng: "He's on the way, almost there. When he arrives in Kyoto, he will go straight to Zuiqinglou." As he said this, he laughed sinisterly a few times. Isn't this going to be a good show to watch?
The master thinks the excitement is not big enough and must teach the two of them a lesson.
Mu Xingchen looked at the man in black who was blocking the dog hole and said speechlessly, "Please move aside. Your young master doesn't seem to be restricting my freedom."
The man in black was covered in cold sweat. There were no restrictions, but she was going to a brothel.
Mu Xingchen curled her lips and said threateningly, "If you don't get out of the way, I will tell Brother Jing that you molested me!" After that, she suddenly slipped out through the dog hole, leaving the man in black disheveled in the wind.
The smile on Mu Xingchen's face disappeared instantly as she crawled out. She turned her head back and threatened, "If you leave now to complain, what if I get into danger late at night?"
The man in black suddenly stopped in his place in a funny posture.
Mu Xingchen said seriously, "Xiao Qi, show me the way."
"Turn right, it's on the busiest street in Kyoto."
Half a cup of tea later, Mu Xingchen arrived at the door of Zuiqing Tower.
Standing at the door, you can see that the building is as high as the seventh floor and as wide as you can see.
The plaque, made of powdered night-shining pearls, shone silvery in the night sky, drawing the eye with its striking silver hue. To either side were pillars woven from countless gold threads, illuminated by the light from gilded lanterns overhead, creating a shimmering effect. From within, the melodious sound of stringed instruments echoed intermittently, while red silk wafted down from the second, third, and fourth floors, fluttering in the wind, captivating the viewer.
Mu Xingchen sighed, "This is truly extravagant." She walked forward, but unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, she was stopped by a woman in green. She smiled and said calmly, "Young lady, please pay ten taels of gold before you enter."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow. So expensive? It was indeed the most extravagant place in Kyoto.
She smiled, then took off the purse from her waist and handed it to the woman.
The woman weighed the purse and nodded, then asked, "Miss, would you like a wing room or the hall?"
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "Let's walk around the hall first."
The woman made a gesture of invitation, "Please come in, young lady."
