Fengdai Building.
This building is very well ventilated, and even in this kind of weather it doesn't feel stuffy. There are ice and incense in the room, and there are several maidservants serving in Mu Huaxiao's capacity.
Mu Huaxiao was leaning on the couch, a maid was kneeling at his feet, and there was a plate of iced grapes beside him. The maid peeled off the skin of the grapes with her slender fingers, and brought them to Mu Huaxiao's mouth on the tips of her thumb and index finger.
His hair was loose, and he should have been taking a nap not long ago. Another maidservant stood behind him, massaging his head, and another maidservant beside him gently played a fan. No one spoke except for the chirping of cicadas and birdsong.
"Father." Xu Pei entered the door and saluted.
"You're here, sit down." Mu Huaxiao said, and Xu Pei sat down upon hearing this.
Mu Huaxiao raised his hand, and the maid who fed the grapes put away the grapes. He opened his eyes and sat up, and the maid who massaged him also stood up and tied his hair up.
"You go back."
"Yes, Master."
The maidservants cleaned up neatly, bowed their heads and retreated lightly.
Mu Huaxiao smiled lightly: "I thought Jiaojiao would hang around you for a little longer, but I didn't expect you to come here so soon."
"The eldest lady went back first when she heard that her adoptive father was looking for me."
"She didn't blame me behind her back, did she?"
Xu Pei said: "How could it be, the eldest miss has always respected the adoptive father, so when the child comes back, he should first report to the adoptive father, so that the adoptive father should not take offense when the child comes late."
Mu Huaxiao's tone changed and he asked with concern: "Seeing that you still look a little unhappy, you have worked hard along the way."
"For the care of the adoptive father, fortunately, it is not disgraceful, and it is right to be injured if you are not as skilled as others. It's just that on the nineteenth floor...will it be difficult to explain?"
He has always known that Xu Pei has Mu Huaxiao's eyeliner by his side. Mu Huaxiao already knew that he was coming back before he came back, but these eyeliners never appear on the surface, they only exist in the dark, not at all. Will have contact with him - if there is, he won't know it.
This time, he used Shen Xuan as a bait, and in the name of ambush Shen Xuan, sent all the guards around him to the underworld by other people's hands.
And when those guards died, the news that Mu Huaxiao was by his side was also cut off for a moment, but when they entered Shuzhou City, he felt that feeling came back.
He is very good at this kind of spying on others, and the feeling of being watched by others is also very familiar.
So according to his guess, Mu Huaxiao only knew that he ambush Shen Xuan, which led to his being killed instead.
Because it only needs to be investigated.
But about the rest, he didn't know so well.
For example, Kui Ke.
Mu Huaxiao paid a lot of money to hire killers from the [-]th floor to 'escort' him, but all of them died on the way. I don't know how the [-]th floor will settle the bill.
Mu Huaxiao smiled, and said indifferently: "As you said, it's normal to be injured if your skills are not as good as others, so don't worry about these small things."
"Yes." Xu Pei saw that he said this because he didn't want to tell himself.
"Do you know who hit you? Except Shen Xuan."
"The child is stupid, and it was raining and dark that day, so I couldn't see it."
Who was Mu Huaxiao's first assassination encounter on the way to Xu Pei?Ambushing Shen Xuan and even mobilized a group of medicine men to fold there, as the saying goes that two fists are no match for four hands, do they have other reinforcements?Are these the same people?
He asked again: "You decided to ambush Shen Xuan?"
Xu Pei directly knelt down, leaned over and said, "It was Xu Pei who felt that the opportunity was rare to make his own claims, so he asked his adoptive father to punish him."
Mu Huaxiao sat on the couch in silence, and the atmosphere in the room froze every second. Mu Huaxiao asked, "Are your juniors injured?"
"The juniors were also injured, but Shen Xuan didn't kill them, instead he took them along. When I woke up, the juniors and them were on good terms."
"How many people are around Shen Xuan?"
"Shen Xuan, Cheng Suisui, Lanzhao, and Fu Cheng, I just didn't expect Shen Xuan's cultivation to be so advanced."
When he talked about Shen Xuan's matter, his tone was a bit cold, and when he hid Kui Ke and Mi You, Mu Huaxiao really didn't suspect anything, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Hmm..." Mu Huaxiao tapped the cup with his fingertips, and did not continue the topic: "Which thing you said is done?"
"Hail has reached an agreement with several sects over there, and our people have also been sent to help them. We just need to wait for the opportunity to launch together."
"it is good."
"One more thing..." Xu Pei lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to say this.
"What's the matter?"
"I brought back the saint."
"!!!" Mu Huaxiao was startled at first, he stood up and walked around the room twice, his face was mixed with various subtle emotions of joy, surprise and unbelievable, and his mood rarely fluctuated.
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"
He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and said hello three times in a row. It can be seen that he was very excited. Mu Huaxiao patted Xu Pei's shoulder and said, "Why are you kneeling? Why don't you get up! You are really my good boy, tell me what you are How did you do it?"
Xu Pei picked and picked the truth out of a bunch of lies, his tone was calm and unwavering, just like usual.
"The boy knew that Shen Xuan's target was the saint, so he set up an ambush, but he didn't expect Shen Xuan to be so tyrannical, which caused me to be injured. Fortunately, I had already let Banmeng take the saint to transfer, so they didn't succeed. "
"After I woke up, they pressed me again and again, and what the child said when he was seriously injured at the time had certain credibility. I told them that the saint had been sent back to Lingxiao Villa in advance, and they gave up."
"But I don't think they will let it go like this, and they may come again."
"Yes, right and wrong, it's Shen Xuan's character and what he can do. The disciples of Wanhua Valley are also there, and the ancestral precept of Wanhua Valley is not to leave life alone." Mu Huaxiao nodded and took a look. Xu Pei didn't know whether to say he was lucky or not, although he was seriously injured, he just escaped unharmed.
"how is she?"
"Because the boy drugged her to prevent her from escaping, so that day she forced herself to exercise her internal strength and fell into a coma, and she has not woken up to this day."
"Find a few more reliable people to watch her."
"Yes."
There was a smile on the corner of Mu Huaxiao's mouth, obviously in a good mood, he said to Xu Pei: "You go back and rest, I will ask Doctor Huang to show you later."
"Thank you, righteous father."
"In the evening, I'll ask you to come and have dinner with me. Jiaojiao has been looking forward to it for a long time, so I can't disappoint her."
"Yes, thank you foster father."
Before walking to the door, Mu Huaxiao suddenly asked again: "You won't regret it, will you? After all, you two met when you were young..."
Xu Pei turned around and stood up again Wen Ran said: "The adoptive father is worrying too much, if the adoptive father hadn't saved me, Xu Pei wouldn't be where I am today."
Mu Huaxiao nodded with a smile and said nothing, Xu Pei saluted and left again.
When Xu Pei walked out of Fengdai Tower, the gate of Fengdai Tower was closed, which meant that Mu Huaxiao hadn't seen anyone.
He knew that Mu Huaxiao was going to that place to meet that person again, and the passage was inside the Fengdai Tower, so he looked back at the closed door, and when he slowed down a bit, his eyes focused on him.
He smiled mockingly, the foster father's side is really solid.
......
The news of Banmeng's return also spread among their group of sisters and sisters. She had stayed in the Western Regions for two years, and the rankings of the girls in the yard varied from high to low, and some came and went.
Banmeng entered the yard, and there were people looking at her in the open and in the dark. At first, she thought that she was sent to such a far place because of the owner's will, but the first few places were always empty and no one took it. Thinking of her coming back at this time.
As soon as she came back, the rumor that she was vacant in the ranking was self-defeating. Banmeng's ranking was still the highest, and no one dared to challenge her for the time being.
When she returned to the house, there was a stale smell in the house that had not been lived in for two years. She opened the doors and windows to let the air in. When the sun shone in, she could see the dust floating in the house.
She fetched a basin of water and sprinkled it on the ground first, then took a cloth and cleaned the house skillfully, as if no servants came to help clean up their house, they were servants in the first place.
She thought she could stay clean, but she didn't expect someone to greet her right after she came back. It's not embarrassing for a woman to come uninvited under the eyes of everyone.
Eleven hugged the changed sheets and quilt cover in his hand and said, "I don't think you went to collect these things when you came back. I happened to have some clothes to help you."
Banmeng glanced at her as if she hadn't heard, Eleven raised her chin and asked, "You won't let me stand at the door on such a hot day, right? Where do you put your things?"
Banmeng had just wiped the bed, she wiped the sweat off her cheeks, the moisture on the bed was evaporating, Banmeng turned her head and said, "Put it there."
Eleven came in and intentionally closed half of the door. She placed the bedding and covered half of the window, thus blocking half of the outside view.
"What's the matter?" Banmeng asked without raising his head, it's impossible that he really came to deliver something.
"This position has been vacant for two years, and everyone thought you were dead." Eleven chuckled lightly, with a gentle voice.
Banmeng frowned. Although she was not here, it didn't mean her news was blocked. She didn't like Eleven for no other reason—the owner of the villa was too close to her.
And Eleven was ranked No. [-] two years ago. Banmeng stopped what he was doing and looked at Eleven's face. He was indeed very similar to Ruan Xianbei, and his courage was extraordinary. No wonder he was promoted to No. [-] in just two years. .
But strangely, she was not angry, she almost lost her temper in the second half of the journey, she was still thinking about that rainy night, and when she returned to Xu Pei's side, Ruan Xianbei was already unconscious.
She looked at Eleven's face and shook her head. The leather watch was similar, but the eyes were too different.
"Have you seen her?" Eleven saw that she was unmoved, and felt that something was wrong. Banmeng's temper has always been bad. After her sister + partner half-awake and died, she became more irritable and often disagreed with each other. Just fighting, everyone guessed that this was one of the reasons why she was sent to the Western Regions.
But she deliberately provoked Banmeng, but just stared at her face for a long time, didn't speak, and didn't do anything. Eleven subconsciously came up with this idea and asked it out of her mouth.
"You have seen it before." Banmeng said, she threw the rag into the bucket and splashed the water, and opened the window and door again by the way, she stood in the yard and swept the yard without hesitation A circle of people up and down.
"I'm back, you can do whatever you want, there is only one thing - don't disturb me." She said this arrogantly, but she did have such arrogance.
She has been in this position since Shi Shi was still unknown, and she is still in this position now. Although her body looks like she is only in her teens, who can really see her as a teenage child.
After Banmeng finished speaking, she returned to her room, she unceremoniously asked Eleven to go out, Eleven tickled the corners of her lips and left first.
Only then did she close the door. This familiar courtyard and unfamiliar people are really annoying.
This building is very well ventilated, and even in this kind of weather it doesn't feel stuffy. There are ice and incense in the room, and there are several maidservants serving in Mu Huaxiao's capacity.
Mu Huaxiao was leaning on the couch, a maid was kneeling at his feet, and there was a plate of iced grapes beside him. The maid peeled off the skin of the grapes with her slender fingers, and brought them to Mu Huaxiao's mouth on the tips of her thumb and index finger.
His hair was loose, and he should have been taking a nap not long ago. Another maidservant stood behind him, massaging his head, and another maidservant beside him gently played a fan. No one spoke except for the chirping of cicadas and birdsong.
