Cultivate with an African God

The capital fell into madness.

The poisonous smog infiltrated from the edge day by day, and finally reached the prosperous central city.

The curfew is useless, and all the troops are surrounding the palace gate, guarding the palace as if it is solid.The drunkards in the city screamed in the street, were caught and beaten by strangers, even if they were just dead souls, the bloodthirsty factor was stimulated under the pressure of death, and they used kitchen knives and sticks to treat weak and deceitful people Violence, crying, and wailing sounds are like sharp knives, which can almost pierce the heart.

People on the side of the road burn incense to pay homage to the dead, paper money is mixed with ashes flying around, and some rich people crazily throw silver on high-rise buildings, people on the ground are still engaged in unnecessary scrambles, people trample on each other in the crowd, and even shouts are swallowed by heavy footsteps .

Feiyun Gambling House has long been closed, and even the gambling equipment has disappeared. People who have nothing to do but plunder other people's lives and money flock to the Colosseum. But it was a few corpses, wild beasts rushing out in groups.

Hungry beasts make Jingzhong even more chaotic.

However, Mu Xinghe, who retreated first, was very quiet, and it could even be said to be silent.

When the sky was about to dawn, Mu Xinghe walked through the crazy and chaotic hustle and bustle of the city, and came to the bottom of the imperial city.The imperial city is still heavily guarded. Even in such a situation, the ruler still maintains absolute control over the imperial city.

Mu Xinghe looked at the city in the early morning mist, all the hustle and bustle was isolated by the mist, he remembered the little snake game he played in modern times.

As each snake dies, it breaks itself down into food, and the others eat the food and grow bigger.Huge snakes have stronger bodies, which can easily crush smaller snakes, and make themselves stronger by devouring the corpses of smaller snakes.

He and Zhong Zijin have turned from small snakes to big snakes after some operations. Several big snakes are entrenched in Beijing, and some small snakes that escaped the net are lurking in the dark. Now the small snakes have little impact on the situation, and the strength map is basically determined, unless there is one The sudden death of the big snake dropped countless food, which will change the distribution of strength.

Among the rest of the people, the master of the Chonglou Fengge escaped faster than him, the master of the Moonshine Remnant Tower was extra cautious, there were two people in the Palace of Bliss, with extraordinary strength, and even Mu Xinghe had to be very careful about the musician and the princess There should be no surprises among them.

Now that Mu Xinghe can confirm and have contact with all the targets that he is sure to defeat, there is no point in wandering outside as bait.What he has to do is to be one step ahead and enter the imperial city.

Zhong Zijin couldn't stand it anymore and took the map to show him the way, Mu Xinghe finally found the palace gate.

There were no courtiers going to court, and occasional carriages carrying supplies came in and out of the palace gate early in the morning, but they were also guarded by soldiers, without any gaps.

Zhong Zijin observed for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's hard to break through."

"Yes," Mu Xinghe replied, "There are guards everywhere. Once there is any movement, it will attract the attention of the people in the imperial city. That is not a good thing."

Immediately Mu Xinghe smiled again: "But your big brother Xinghe has always been able to do it, watch me perform."

In the early morning, the imperial guards stood all night, and it was the time when they were in a trance and felt exhausted.

And there was a mournful cry nearby.The voice was particularly sad, seeming to be far away, and even accompanied by the cry, it seemed that cold raindrops were falling from the sky.

At this time in Beijing, people died almost every moment, and the raindrops were bleak and cold, which made people feel creepy.

A woman came lightly with an umbrella, dressed in red and white, wearing wooden clogs, with tears in her eyes.

She fell to the ground crying, and the guards couldn't help but look at her in horror, but the moment their attention turned to her, a huge fireball fell from the sky, and they lost consciousness before they could react.

Someone walked leisurely through the city gate.

"Let me tell you, the idea of ​​this Yuhuo female thief is very useful. Last time, I went to Dikui Pavilion to get the Baifeng Pill. I didn't get the entry token, so I asked Yunu to cry outside. They Hearing the sound, the phoenix fire slammed—"

"...Stealing things doesn't have to be so loud."

Mu Xinghe was still taking advantage of no one reacting from the dizziness, dancing and showing off the glorious history, but in the still world, there was a woman slowly walking towards them.The woman was just an ordinary court lady's costume, but she walked calmly, her graceful appearance was like a March spring breeze blowing through the flowers.

Mu Xinghe wasn't in the mood to appreciate a beautiful woman - because he had seen that face not long ago in the Hongxiu Building, and he even made a pose with each other: "Miss Dove, what a coincidence, have you eaten yet?"

Dove Que lifted up her sleeves and smiled slightly: "The honored guest is here, and I'm not far away to welcome you, please come with me."

The moment her words fell, the palace guards had already resumed their movements, looking around in a hurry to see what happened just now.Dove was dressed in the clothes of a court lady, and came to receive them, looking very natural.

Mu Xinghe had no room to refuse, so he could only follow her.

But Jiuque led them to an old palace. She calmly burned incense and cooked tea, and said with a low smile, "A lot of people died in the uterus a while ago, and many places are vacant. This place is not bad. It should be there." Both."

Mu Xinghe supported his face, watching her movements: "Miss Hua, it's been a long time."

Dove made a move.

After a while, she stretched out, and habitually raised her sleeves and smiled: "It was guessed."

"It's easy to guess once you figure it out," Mu Xinghe said with a chuckle, "The identities of the people here are somewhat related to their identities in the original world, just like I used to be a second generation, or like He is a real swordsman, just like the devil king will not be a good person when he comes, so your identity here will also correspond to your real identity. You are the master of the Chonglou Fengge, and you are good at listening to the wind from all directions , and I happen to know that a certain place in the original world can know the news from all over the world, and that person happens to be a woman in a high position."

"That's right, it's me," Hua Xiangrong quickly regained his composure after being stunned, and sat down to look at him, "I never thought we'd only been separated from you for a few days, and you've already analyzed the rules here to such an extent."

Mu Xinghe recalled the incident when Hua Xiangrong asked his name face to face, and sighed: "Fortunately, I have never been honest."

Hua Xiangrong smiled, and her tone was a little raised, which was her usual look: "Then since this hero didn't reveal the name of the Nu family in person, can the Nu family dare to speculate that the two heroes plan to spare the Nu family's life?"

Mu Xinghe's eyes moved slightly: "It's just like you didn't call someone to deal with us in front of the palace gate."

So she giggled again: "I came to pick you up because it's profitable."

Mu Xinghe and Hua Xiangrong were playing chess under the tree, occasionally the sound of falling pieces could be heard, and the falling flowers landed on the chessboard and were gently picked away.

"Actually, I'm good at playing chess." Mu Xinghe's voice broke the silence of the time, "I didn't expect you... to play chess at a real level at that time."

But Hua Xiangrong was not annoyed, and said lightly, "I don't have time to study. I used to be a rough servant girl, or even a handyman. If I took a few sneak peeks, I was already talented if I could do a few tricks with others." It’s impressive. People don’t have much time in their lives, so of course we need to save our energy and work hard for useful things—for people like me, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, others will say it’s arty, and it’s not beneficial to learn it .”

Mu Xinghe looked at the woman in front of him. She was only wearing ordinary court ladies' attire, but she behaved calmly, and she didn't see the slightest difference when it came to the past.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she lowered her head and smiled.Before Mu Xinghe could answer, he changed the topic by himself: "You also know what happened in the imperial city recently. Those who died died and those who fled, but in fact the only person in power in the imperial city is the regent."

Mu Xinghe was surprised: "The little emperor doesn't have any opinions?"

"The little emperor is always slow to respond, and he listens to everything."

Mu Xinghe had indeed thought that the power of the imperial city had been concentrated on one person, but he had never imagined that the emperor would look like this—after all, the identity of the emperor was in the ancient background, or in this ancient world where there was no supernatural power. He is different from everyone else. If the little emperor is just an ordinary puppet emperor, it would be a waste of his status.

"The regent himself is a character. Before I came, he had cleaned the palace several times, and even pulled out the nails of the Phoenix Pavilion. I suspect that the change of the banquet was also manipulated by him, so that the capital of the imperial city is now All the power in the palace is gathered in his hands," Hua Xiangrong continued, "the only advantage is that this person lives in seclusion and is almost inseparable from the little emperor, and the area of ​​activity is from the Jinluan Hall to the Huangji Hall. If you don't notice something is wrong I want to clean it again, so that I can live safely without causing trouble.”

Mu Xinghe smiled lightly: "—You say that, I really want to find out."

"It's not that simple," Hua Xiangrong sighed, "You have to defeat the four major guards first, and then defeat the two masters, so that you can meet His Royal Highness the Regent. Someone took a few bottles of medicine and took a handful of medicines before." The weapon just wanted to make a surprise attack, but in the end, he didn't even pass the guard, and it was cheaper for the regent."

Mu Xinghe weighed the pros and cons, and made a move in silence. Hua Xiangrong let out an "oops" and said with a smile, "Did I lose again?"

She observed the chessboard, and finally sighed, but her tone didn't care much, and she was still talking about the previous thing: "But you don't need to worry, the rebels and the imperial guards are in a stalemate, and it will be the imperial guards who will show their flaws first. And what you said The arrival of that ghost cultivator will also bring a lot of pressure to the imperial city, and the rebel army will pour into the palace. At that moment, the defense system in the palace will completely collapse, and the regent will show up sooner or later."

"Hua girl," Mu Xinghe suddenly called out, "You told us so much, do you already know our true identities?"

"Hey." Hua Xiangrong raised her sleeves again, covering her face with a smile, "Little girl abides by women's morals, won't you rashly call out a man's name?"

Mu Xinghe trembled, this was indeed the familiar Hua Xiangrong.

He remembered a very important thing: "Did you take the initiative to intervene in this matter, or did you also receive a letter?"

Hua Xiangrong shook his head, with a rare expression of uncertainty: "It was someone from my school who received the letter, but he still couldn't think of any cause and effect to solve, so he found me. After all, I am from Bitao Academy. This kind of thing naturally needs to be explored one or two times, but I was unable to decipher the relationship in the letter, I had given up at first, but I was the one who appeared here that day."

Mu Xinghe was a little disappointed when he heard this remark, he underlined a certain inference in his mind twice.

He was thinking about the possibility and the impossibility, but he found that the eyes of the woman opposite had settled on his face. He raised his eyes slightly, and the girl's eyes seemed to contain autumn water and falling flowers, with a bit of thoughtfulness.She noticed the other person's movements, she just pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "You seem to have changed a lot these years."

"Is there?" Mu Xinghe leaned back a little and spread his hands, "I don't think I'm any different from before."

"In the past...under such circumstances, you would seek cooperation with me, but now you may be thinking about how to solve it alone. I once said that I did this to you because it was profitable. You didn't even ask, so it shows that you are not interested at all. , and don’t care if I’m going to hurt you or not,” Hua Xiangrong still looked at him, “I’ve heard a lot about you after the Dao Discussion Conference. Wrong, you were wandering around the hunting ground with a group of people back then."

Mu Xinghe lowered his head and smiled: "I had no choice but to. I have a bad temper, and originally I didn't like others to act with me."

Hua Xiangrong withdrew her gaze, and she raised her sleeves to cover her lips with a smile: "It's me who is being rude."

Hua Xiangrong stood up and looked at the dark sky in the distance: "But don't get me wrong, I didn't say this because I want you to cooperate with me and chat. You are either killing people or wanting to destroy the city, but I really like this place. Here I really have a high position and authority, and no one dares to say a word about my humble origins, which is pretty good when I think about it.”

Mu Xinghe was startled, Hua Xiangrong chuckled lightly: "I lied to you, actually because...if I have to, I will kill you anyway."

She looked back and smiled, then turned around gently, opened the door and walked out.

A veil fell from her hand, she felt the texture of the fabric, cold and dense, but her thoughts went far.

She came here originally to solve this matter, but the more she probed into it, the more she realized that this matter... might not be resolved.

It's good to be alive.
