Even Lu Shenglian was puzzled, at this moment he almost thought that the chosen one was him, but when he looked carefully at Yuedi's gaze, he found that Yuedi was not looking at himself at all, but at his side.

He followed Yuedi's gaze and turned his head to look, and saw that the person standing beside him was Xinghu who was talking to him with a smile on his face.His complexion suddenly became ugly, especially under the gaze of everyone, he just felt like a joke.

Lu Shenglian's face was dark, and he walked away, but he didn't see Fox Xinghe snapping his fingers behind him, and a red fox fur quietly stuck to his clothes.

Only then did Hu Xingmeng turn her head, and obediently stood there, looking at Xin Qingmeng with some surprise in her eyes.Under Hu Xinghe's gaze, Xin Qingmeng tried hard to control herself, not to turn her head away, but she still couldn't hold back, and the tips of her ears felt hot from Hu Xinghe's gaze.

Xin Qingmeng walked in front of Hu Xinghe, wearing a white jade crown on his head, and the white jade beads were falling on Xin Qingmeng's white forehead, and they were constantly colliding with Xin Qingmeng's walking, making crisp sounds.

His eyes were as soft as spring water, and when he looked at Hu Xinghe, the soft eye waves were like moonlight, with shimmering waves.

Xin Qingmeng's white and clean hand stretched out from the sleeve robe, the nails were clean and slightly red, and the palm spread out to the left front of Hu Xinghe, quietly waiting for Hu Xinghe's response.

This move was originally a signal to Hu Xinghe to lead the way, but unexpectedly, Hu Xinghe raised his head and smiled at Xin Qingmeng, and unexpectedly grabbed Xin Qingmeng's hand without hesitation.

When Hu Xinghe's soft hand touched Xin Qingmeng's hand with the warmth of his body, Xin Qingmeng's hand trembled and instinctively wanted to withdraw it, but Hu Xinghe held it tightly, unable to pull it away at all.

In an instant, the heat seemed to spread from the palm to the cheeks, making Xin Qingmeng's cheeks turn red and hot.

His lips moved slightly, and he said to Hu Xinghe silently with a bit of panic: "Don't make trouble, let go."

Hu Xinghe also answered Xin Qingmeng with his lips: "No."

Xin Qingmeng: "..."

The ears were so red that they were about to bleed.

Seeing this scene, the ministers who had been guarding under the high platform felt a little strange for a moment, as if the two were too close, right?

Hu Xinghe refused to let go, Xin Qingmeng had no choice but to follow Hu Xinghe.He lowered his eyes, stopped looking at Hu Xinghe, bravely faced everyone's weird gazes, held hands with Hu Xinghe, and walked towards the stairs of the high platform together.

step……

two steps...

Three steps...

Xin Qingmeng had never experienced such torment before, he just felt that everyone's eyes fell on his back like needles, making his back even more straight and stiff.The nervousness of being exposed to everyone and the panic when holding Hu Xinghe's hand were intertwined, making Xin Qingmeng's heart beat like a drum, and it was hard to tell which emotion was more.

When he walked up to the high platform, Xin Qingmeng's palms were soaked in sweat unconsciously, and when he heard Hu Xinghe's snorting laughter, he withdrew his hand and pursed his lips.

The etiquette officer looked at the two people, and felt that there was an indistinct atmosphere between them, making it impossible for others to intervene.He suppressed the weirdness in his heart, and announced the news in a normal voice as much as possible.

"By the king's order, accept Xinghu as the king's close servant!"

After this day, it won't be long before the strange behavior of the Moon Emperor will be spread to the other three countries, and even the name of the servant Xinghu will be spread to other countries, becoming another interesting talk among the people.

After the selection of servants was over, Hu Xinghe followed Xin Qingmeng to the main hall in the north of the palace, and completed the rest of the ceremony.

After completing the ceremony, Xin Qingmeng did not return to the palace under the persuasion of the minister, but changed into ordinary clothes, put on a bamboo hat, and stubbornly left the palace.

Even the ministers were helpless against Xin Qingmeng's stubbornness.

The Yue Kingdom is different from the other three kingdoms. The Yue Kingdom has always advocated governance by doing nothing. The monarch rarely interferes with the country, and the management of the country relies more on the country's own system.

The former Moon Emperor who abdicated, and now the master father, often went to the Taoist temple to stay for three months, and the Yue Kingdom could still operate as usual without falling into chaos.

The ministers were also accustomed to this, so they did not obstruct Xin Qingmeng too much, allowing Xin Qingmeng and Hu Xinghe to leave the palace together.

As soon as the two left the palace, they went to fetch the carriage first.

Hu Xinghe got into the carriage, and saw Zhang Maoer curled up in a ball with his legs hugged on the seat.Zhang Maoer's thin limbs curled up together, looked skinny and bony, but her head was big and square, which seemed extremely uncoordinated with her limbs, making her look pitiful and weird.

When Zhang Maoer heard the movement in the carriage, he raised his head and locked his eyes on Hu Xinghe, his dark eyes lit up instantly.Zhang Maoer immediately saw Xin Qingmeng following behind Hu Xinghe, his eyes were brighter than the stars at night.

As soon as Hu Xinghe saw Zhang Maoer's expression, he knew that Zhang Maoer had stayed in the carriage for too long and felt uneasy. He was afraid that he and Xin Qingmeng would abandon him.

This child has been suppressing and not speaking, it doesn't mean that Hu Xinghe can't see it.For this overly well-behaved child, Hu Xinghe always held a trace of pity in his heart.

Zhang Maoer said: "I have been in the carriage."

He added: "There was no running around."

Hu Xinghe smiled, eyes curved, stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhang Maoer's head: "I know, have you waited a long time? Are you hungry?"

Zhang Maoer shook his head: "Soon, I'm not hungry yet."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Maoer's belly made a rumbling sound, making Zhang Maoer blushed suddenly, covering her face with her hands, revealing only a pair of black eyes.

Hu Xinghe didn't tease Zhang Maoer, and directly took out a wooden box from behind.This wooden box is extremely exquisite in workmanship. It is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. With a slight push, the three layers of the box will be spread out in front of Zhang Maoer.

On the top layer are snacks, on the middle layer are some side dishes, and on the bottom layer are some fragrant pancakes.

The aroma permeated the carriage in an instant, making Zhang Maoer swallowed.

Hu Xinghe smiled and said, "Eat quickly."

Zhang Maoer still shook his head lightly: "You guys eat first."

This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, the first thing that comes to mind is Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng.Hu Xinghe's heart warmed up, and he tapped Zhang Maoer's head with his fingertips: "Eat by yourself, Mengqing and I have already eaten."

He turned to look at Xin Qingmeng: "Do you think so?"

Xin Qingmeng's eyes moved slightly, as if a smile flashed across her face, and she said softly, "I've eaten."

Only then did Zhang Maoer pick up the chopsticks and began to eat gracefully. He took two bites, secretly glanced at Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng, and finally couldn't help but wolf down.Eye sockets became moist while eating.

After Zhang Maoer finished eating, Hu Xinghe looked for the smell of his own fox fur, and directly asked the driver to chase him in the direction he designated.

Judging from the breath of the fox fur, Lu Shenglian did not leave Jingui City, but was still in Jingui City.

Under the guidance of Hu Xinghe, the carriage entered the gate of Jingui City all the way, and finally stopped in an inn.This inn looks simple and plain from the outside, it seems that it has been opened for many years, and even the signboard has become dilapidated.

This inn is in Jingui City, because it is dilapidated, it seems a bit out of place with the bustling Jingui City.

Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng got out of the carriage, Hu Xinghe turned his head and glanced at Zhang Maoer, Zhang Maoer immediately said: "I'll wait for you in the carriage."

Just after saying this, Zhang Maoer lowered his head and looked at his frail legs, looking a little disappointed.He knew that following Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng now was a burden that needed to be taken care of.

Hu Xinghe flicked Zhang Maoer's forehead with his fingers, and with a sound of "Boer", Zhang Maoer raised his head and covered his forehead, looking a little dazed.

Hu Xinghe's nose frowned: "Little baby, don't be so sad all day long, after I heal your leg, I'll take you to play around."

Zhang Maoer opened his mouth, his face turned red, and then nodded heavily: "En!"

Only then did Hu Xinghe put down the curtain of the carriage, and said to the man driving the carriage, "Just stop by this inn, we will be coming down soon."

Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng entered the inn together.The inside of the inn is as dilapidated and simple as the outside. The inn is run by an old couple. When the old couple saw someone coming in, the old man immediately came up to welcome them.

As soon as the old man saw Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng, he knew that the origins of Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng must be very unusual.Because the two of them are far superior to ordinary people in terms of temperament and demeanor.

"Are the two guests going to stay at the hotel?" the old man asked cautiously.

No matter how you look at these two people, they don't seem like people who would stay in this kind of inn.

Xin Qingmeng stood silently by the side, when the two were together, Hu Xinghe was always the one who spoke.Hu Xinghe smiled and said, "I'm not staying in the shop, I'm here to find someone."

He gave the old man a piece of silver, followed Xin Qingmeng to the second floor of the inn, followed the scent of the fox fur, and stopped outside a room.

The room was very quiet, even depressingly quiet.Hu Xinghe frowned slightly, turned his head and said to Xin Qingmeng with his lips: "I'll go in and have a look first, you wait outside."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xin Qingmeng to respond, Hu Xinghe knocked on the door directly, and heard the voice of "who is it" from the door.

Hu Xinghe said loudly: "Brother Lu is me, Xinghu."

The voices in the room suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Lu Shenglian's voice sounded: "Come in."

Hu Xinghe opened the door and walked into the room, and cast an illusion on Xin Qingmeng, because Lu Shenglian didn't notice Xin Qingmeng outside the door.

Lu Shenglian sat on the bed, his eyes were red, and his expression looked a little frightening.

Hu Xinghe said: "Brother Lu, please stay safe."

The corner of Lu Shenglian's mouth twitched: "How did you find this place?"

Hu Xinghe said: "Why don't you ask me why I'm looking for you?"

Lu Shenglian snorted, with a hint of sarcasm on his calm and stern face: "Tell me, you've worked so hard to find me, it's impossible to just catch up with me, right?"

Hu Xinghe shrugged and said, "It's definitely not. Can't you guess why I'm looking for you?"

Lu Shenglian's expression changed, and he said in a cold voice: "I don't have time to catch up with you, so please speak up if you have something to say, and then I can leave here."

Hu Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "Brother Lu, why are you in such a hurry to leave here? Could it be that he committed a crime and wanted to run away?"

As soon as Hu Xinghe said these words, Lu Shenglian's body immediately stiffened, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and his voice was deep and cold: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Hu Xinghe suddenly laughed: "I would like to ask Brother Lu a question, how did you explain that person who died in the Moon Inn? And what about the person who died three days ago?"

Lu Shenglian suddenly stood up from the bed, his expression excited: "How would I know? You can ask others about this!"

His chest heaved violently, his mood was extremely restless, and he looked like a wild beast that had been cornered, with a ferocious expression.

Hu Xinghe still stood where he was, without any sign of dodging or fearing. He looked directly into Lu Shenglian's eyes, his face darkened, and he snorted, "Brother Lu, why don't you tell me what methods you used to kill those people."

Lu Shenglian's face was twitching: "You forced me to do this."

He suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, slashed a few times in the air, and rushed towards Hu Xinghe, the dagger in his hand pierced Hu Xinghe's neck.

At this moment, the door was slammed open, and Xin Qingmeng saw Lu Shenglian rushing towards Hu Xinghe with a murderous look on his face. Xin Qingmeng immediately grabbed Hu Xinghe's wrist, and pushed Hu Xinghe to the area behind him. He directly clasped Lu Shenglian's wrist holding the dagger, and twisted it accordingly.

There was a "click" sound, and the short knife in Lu Shenglian's hand fell to the ground. He screamed and fell to the ground immediately.

Fortunately, Hu Xinghe had already soundproofed the room, so that Lu Shenglian's voice would not disturb everyone.

Hu Xinghe stepped forward and stepped on Lu Shenglian's shoulder, directly crushing the bones of Lu Shenglian's other shoulder.He bent down and said to Lu Shenglian, "Are you willing to tell the truth now?"

Lu Shenglian didn't see Xin Qingmeng's figure at first, until Hu Xinghe removed the invisibility technique on Xin Qingmeng, Lu Shenglian suddenly saw another living person appearing in the room.

He was shocked at first, then a trace of doubt flashed across his face, he suddenly noticed something, and said in a voiceless voice: "Are you the Moon Emperor?"

Xin Qingmeng took off the bamboo hat, and that handsome face with clear eyebrows appeared in front of Lu Shenglian, causing Lu Shenglian's expression to suddenly turn pale.

Lu Shenglian said: "You also know thaumaturgy?"

Hu Xinghe snorted softly and said, "What you learn is called sorcery, what we use is fairy art, how can we confuse it?"

Lu Shenglian was silent, and finally heaved a heavy sigh.

"Yes, those two people were indeed killed by me."

Seeing that Hu Xinghe was an extraordinary person, Lu Shenglian gave up struggling and directly explained everything.

He came to Jingui City a month ago with hesitant ambitions, hoping to be appreciated by the Moon Emperor and realize his ambitions.However, there were too many people coming from Jingui City, so many that even he became unconfident.

He was worried that he would not be able to win the selection, and he was so worried that he thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep at night.However, at this moment, he heard someone keep chanting a place name in his ear, as if there was a mysterious force in his heart bewitching him, telling him to find this place.

After some trekking, Lu Shenglian finally found this mysterious place.It was a cold, dilapidated place with no grass growing. There were countless animal corpses inside, and even the air was filled with a rotten smell.

When he found that place, he was only slightly surprised in his heart, but not afraid.Perhaps in his mind, he had already imagined this place as a scary and weird place, so when this scary and weird place really appeared, he was not surprised.

According to the voice in his ear, he shouted out his goal, he wanted to be the No.1 in the selection, he wanted to realize his ambition, at all costs!

Just after he shouted his wish, the fog suddenly appeared in front of him, and he fainted.When he woke up, a way to realize his wish would naturally appear in his mind.

The method is to find those people with strong luck and put a curse on those people. As long as those people die, their luck will be transferred to him.

It was in this way that Lu Shenglian killed those two young people who had a good life without anyone noticing.

He could feel the luck of those people falling on him, it was a wonderful feeling, it made him full of confidence, as if everything would go well.

He was full of confidence, thinking that he could easily get the position of valet, but he never thought that it would be an empty talk in the end.

Lu Shenglian originally planned to leave the Moon Country and go to other countries to take revenge, but he didn't expect that Hu Xinghe came so quickly and easily found his inn.

After Lu Shenglian finished speaking, he suddenly bowed to Xin Qingmeng, his eyes were firm and fanatical: "Your Majesty, although I killed two people, my talent can save tens of millions of people. Now the Ming Kingdom is eyeing it, and Ming Emperor Wu Yilie has With the ambition of unifying the world, Jingguo is also fighting hard. Troubled times are approaching, and wars may break out at any time. Yueguo has always lived in a corner, and its strength is inferior to these two countries. The current strategy can only survive in the midst of changes..."

Xin Qingmeng quietly listened to Lu Shenglian's words, and then said softly in a voice as indifferent as a thawed stream: "It is impossible for the Yue Kingdom to reuse you."

Lu Shenglian was stunned: "Why?"

Xin Qingmeng said: "First, if you really have real talents and learning, you can recommend yourself by the prime minister's office. With the sageness of today's prime minister, you will definitely be recommended to me, so why bother to compete with everyone for the position of close servant? It's just because The position of close servant is more convenient for you to gain the favor of the king."

"Secondly, even if you use all means to compete for the position of close servant, An Zhi, you won't act like this after you enter the court?"

"Third, do you think that luck can control everything, if people say that luck is not in the Moon Country, Anzhi, you wouldn't abandon the Moon Country and choose another country?"

What Xin Qingmeng said left Lu Shenglian speechless.

He claims to be a literati, but he has no literati style at all. He is superstitious about the theory of luck, and he does not hesitate to use such vicious methods to achieve his goals.If he was upright, Lu Shenglian might not have a bright future with his talent, but because of his unrighteous mind, he took a wrong path.

Seeing that Lu Shenglian was silent, Hu Xinghe said directly: "Now you still have a way to get rid of the crime, and that is to take us to the place where you made a wish. When we copy that lair, you will also have a share of the credit."

Lu Shenglian had no other choice, if he didn't agree to Hu Xinghe at this time, the only thing waiting for him was to be arrested by the government and ruin his reputation.Lu Shenglian nodded, and finally agreed to Hu Xinghe's request.

Lu Shenglian followed Hu Xinghe and Xin Qingmeng downstairs. When the old couple saw Lu Shenglian's appearance, they were shocked and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking so ugly?"

As soon as Lu Shenglian saw this old couple, he seemed to see his elderly parents in his hometown. His gloomy face suddenly softened a little, and he said to the old couple enduring the pain: "It's okay, I'm leaving Jingui City and returning to my hometown. went."

He smiled wryly, looked at Hu Xinghe and said, "Brother Xinghu, can you take out the purse at my waist and give all the fifty gold I received to this old couple."

He glanced at his hands.One of his hands was twisted and dislocated by Xin Qingmeng, and the shoulder of his other hand was crushed by Hu Xinghe. He couldn't move at all, and he could only count on Hu Xinghe to help him.

When the old couple heard the words, they were not happy with the money. Instead, they looked at Lu Shenglian in surprise and nervousness, and waved their hands repeatedly: "This money is too much, we can't take it."

Big beads of sweat flowed from Lu Shenglian's forehead due to the pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt and Aunt, you can keep this money. Thank you for your care this month."

The old couple refused to take it no matter what, until Lu Shenglian lied that he was going to be an official, so he gave them more money, and the old couple accepted the money apprehensively.

However, when Hu Xinghe reached out to Lu Shenglian's waist, his wrist was held by Xin Qingmeng. Hu Xinghe looked at Xin Qingmeng in surprise, and saw Xin Qingmeng lowered his eyes, holding Lu Shenglian's waist for him. His purse was taken out.

Hu Xinghe couldn't figure it out, and suddenly realized that a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

He poked the flesh on Xin Qingmeng's waist with his hand, and when Xin Qingmeng's eyes swept over, Hu Xinghe cast a glance at Xin Qingmeng, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Aren't you Don't want me to run into him?"
