Chapter 409 – Second Entry into the Capital
The snow in the capital city came later than in Jianzhou, but after all, it was also drifting flakes in the sky, covering thousands of miles of green mountains and changing the color of the earth.
The water of the pond in the countryside has already formed thin ice, the moonlight reflects the snow and ice between the ponds, reflecting a strange light of a faint blue color, leisurely welcoming the silhouettes of people around the ponds.
A carriage parked on the mountain road, Xue Mu stood at the edge of the pool with his arms folded, watching the large pieces of white snow fall into the pool, looking at it for a long time without getting tired of it, as if it was some kind of earthly spectacle.
“Is this where dad fell to in the first place?” The little girl beside him asked him curiously, pulling on the corner of her coat.
“If I were to find a hometown for me, it would be here.” Xue Mu smiled, “It feels like I’m a piece of a snowflake that fell into the pool, melted into the water, and became a part of nothing special anymore.”
“You’re such a big guy standing here, where are you missing?”
Xue Mu laughed a little, stroking Curry Night’s little head, not answering the question.
“The name of the pool asks the question.” Zhuo Qingqing seemed to say with deep meaning, “How can you not say that there is nothing special about the fact that Gongzi uses this as his township.”
“Qingqing will also pat the horse’s ass ah ……,” Xue Mu teased, “You are only returning home this time, the capital is Zhuo helmsman’s territory, but also hope for more care.”
Zhuo Qingqing blankly glanced at him, “Serving with your body, is the care enough?”
“It seems like it’s still a little bit short, some parts haven’t been tried ……”
Zhuo Qingqing looked at him with a smile and not a laugh, her eyebrows were full of flavor: “In front of the child, also talking nonsense.”
“This child would be finished if this is all heard ……”
Curry Night would like to say that he actually really understands, but think about it or be pure and don’t say anything, lest dad think he’s a bad boy.
“Gongzi.” Behind them flew a number of personal guards: “Probed, the capital is under martial law, the city gate inventory is very strict, when the Patriarch sat in a carriage will be able to enter the city in a low-profile mode is no longer feasible.”
“Then forget it …… There’s no need to force a cover up.” Xue Mu sighed, “Originally, I still wanted to do some investigation in secret, but after all, I still had to step directly into the wind.”
Curry Night grunted, “Step on it, dad went out, never this time with the strength of the strong, still afraid of the capital city has any demons and monsters ah.”
The strength of the band this time was really strong. Curry night in the red river secret realm breakthrough once, and then participate in the tripod consolidation for a month, now the strength of who can not say. Zhuo Qingqing had already entered the Dao, and there was also a hidden behind him, Ye Guying, who was at least in the late stage of entering the Dao. Together with the original personal guards, this lineup is twice as strong as when they went south to Heron State. And the capital in the hole vain person, Eunuch Li is his own person, Xuan Zhe at least is a friend, Xia Wenxuan did not leave is also a help, even Shen Ji Sect is also the album and the silver bank’s partner.
Curry night is really feel that this time back to the capital division is simply like a walk in the park, don’t even know what dad is cautious.
“This is the capital division, there is no violation under the formation! With your senior sister’s strength, outside can pull all these names together A. In the first place, but still almost planted here? You little thing also dares to be gullible.” Xue Mu flicked her little head and turned around, “Let’s go, into the capital.”
When they arrived outside of Tiandu City, the sky was already bright. There were many more guards at the city gates, checking in and out pedestrians.
In fact, Xue Mu felt that there was really nothing to check, Xia Wenxuan wants to leave the city, can you stop him? Other people want to take advantage of Ji Qingyuan’s paralysis to enter the city to do something, you check useful? Moreover, this world doesn’t have any road guides or ultimatums, so Xue Mu doesn’t even know what the hell these people are blindly checking for.
“Stop!” A guard stopped the carriage, and without saying a word, uncovered the window curtains.
Inside, a young man was leaning on a beautiful woman with his eyes closed, and a little girl was cooing and clutching a kettle as she drank water. Seeing the curtain lifted, the beautiful woman raised her head to look at a glance, it was a thousand flavors, smoky intoxication.
The guard straightened his eyes for half a day, but his expression became more and more serious, whispering to himself, “Xue ……”
Said a surname and then got stuck, seems to not know what to use to address Xue Mu, is it a lord or a city lord or a constable, or is it the Star and Moon Chief? Lord of the Six Paths Alliance?
Xue Mu opened his eyes and also realized that he was really famous now, any random city gate guard recognized him, this fame was definitely not inferior to any of the strong sect lords.
“I can’t enter the city?”
“Of course you can ……,” the guard commander waved his hand to release him, but Xue Mu clearly saw a guard dashing into the city, seemingly to inform someone.
Dare I say that this inventory was mainly to ascertain who had entered the city, and it was clear that Xue Mu had received high profile vigilant treatment.
From this, we could see that Ji Qingyuan’s paralysis hadn’t been blocked for more than a few hours, and now I’m afraid that the whole city knows about it, which also means that the other sects will soon get the news, and it’s not yet known how many people will be entering the city.
It’s really a good storm.
Put down the curtains, the carriage slowly toward the Hundred Flowers Garden old site, there is already Star Moon Sect reporter station, just separated from the Department of Six Fan Publications Division.
The bamboo forest in the backyard remains the same, but the bamboo leaves have long since fallen, up and down a snow color. Xiao Ai brought the demonesses from the capital division to kneel down and greet them, not even daring to raise their heads.
Xue Mu has never let the Star Moon Sect kneel under him, never everyone is cheeky, being kneeled down is not comfortable. But this time Xiao Ai knelt, and he didn’t let anyone get up, the scene was silent and quite icy.
“The door is wrong …… to the chief manager to ask for sins ……” Xiao Ai trembled his voice: “Willing to be severely punished.”
The carriage was quiet, and there was no reply for half a day.
In fact, Xue Mu is quietly asking Zhuo Qingqing: “Xiao Ai this crime, according to the door rules how to punish?”
Zhuo Qingqing whispered, “If it’s according to destroying the sect’s grand plan and deceiving so far, this crime is very heavy. The punishment …… seems to be death by wooden donkey piercing the body and exposing the naked corpse to the city.”
Xue Mu drew the corners of his mouth, “It’s too much.”
Zhuo Qingqing sighed: “Your Excellency always forgets that we are a demonic sect, and the rules are naturally harsh and vicious, so as to have deterrent power.”
“Immediately let the door to change this set of garbage thing, people ask the sword clan to treason punishment is only ten thousand swords through the heart, kill people but the head point ground, this kind of broken door rules disgusting it?”
“Dad said yes, let’s turn around and let the sect renegotiate the door rules, disgusting.”
“Curry Night is good.” Xue Mu rubbed her head and finally raised his voice: “The sins of the Ai helmsman ……”
Before the words fell, there was a “thud” outside, and Ai fainted from scaring herself.
“……” Xue Mu got out of the car, did not have the good sense to say: “Lift her up, go in and talk.”
In fact, this time Xiao Ai’s sin is a bit complicated. From the behavior, this crime is really dead, but it is a mistake to solve the problem that Xue Mu’s heart has been entangled, no matter who the bottle actually came to the hands of, in short, he is no longer the mastermind of the poisoning of Ji Qingyuan, and can face Xiahou Di with a clear conscience. The most pleasurable thing to the heart is that the result is the same, Ji Qingyuan was still poisoned, achieving the result Xue Mu demanded.
In terms of the result, Ai in turn had merit and no faults. But it was just luck, it wasn’t her foresight, the culpability actually existed and was something that had to be punished. Xue Mu couldn’t always be Mr. Nice Guy in the sect either, it wouldn’t do much good to the sect’s laws.
“I realized that I’m completely clueless eh, Qingqing, I don’t seem to be able to do this kind of thing.” Sitting in the bamboo building, looking at Xiao Ai who was lying in front of him like a dead dog with a pale face, Xue Mu asked Zhuo Qingqing helplessly, “In your opinion, how to deal with it?”
Zhuo Qingqing laughed: “It turns out that Gongzi is also bad at internal affairs, could it be that he is having a pity attack?”
“It is a little …… own people, people little girl and not subjective bad heart …… and also did not fear the crime, obediently kneeling and waiting for death look is really … …”
“It sounds like you still want to reward her ……”
“It is a little …… She did also solve a difficult problem for me.”
“Then I have an idea.”
“Tell me.”
“You make that wooden donkey yourself not just ……”
