Chapter 569: The Past Transcends a Thousand Years
The next morning Xue Mu woke up in Mu Jian Li’s arms.
He actually fell asleep listening to the music, the sisters looked at me with your eyes and only quietly retreated, Mu Jian Li quietly sat in the hall and held him for the whole night.
When he opened his eyes, he directly met Mu Jian Li’s pulsating eyes looking at him, bright and clear. Xue Mu was also a little embarrassed and rolled over, “You just sat like this all night?”
Mu Jian Li smiled faintly, “It’s nothing more than meditating. Seeing you sleeping soundly makes me happy too.”
After a moment’s pause, her face blushed slightly, “Originally I thought I was going to accompany you last night to be ridiculous, I had quietly said goodbye to Qianxue …… but I think that the way you quietly fall asleep is much better to look at.”
These words revealed where she was meditating all night, she was clearly looking at his face all night.
Xue Mu held her hand and whispered, “Things are complicated, I didn’t accompany you more ……”
Mu Jian Li smiled and shook her head, “I’m a swordsman, I don’t have to be accompanied, as long as I can see you often, I’m happy. Now that the clan is stable, I don’t have to be tied up in the clan, as long as I don’t go out for too long, and go back regularly to take care of business, I can still see you often in the future.”
The meaning of these words made Xue Mu quite happy.
When Lin Wuya would choose to pass on the throne to Mu Jianli, it was really out of his expectation. Originally in his heart he did not want Mu Jianli to be limited to death in the clan, in the jianghu a sword light cold is Mu Jianli …… but when her face, he can only go to encourage to help, can not sing the opposite. Now listen to her can be relieved, the heart is really happy.
To put it also is, ask the sword clan thousands of years of famous door, self-contained rules and regulations. As long as it is not like Lin Wu Ya as a matter of shit regardless of lead to up and down the mess, then, the normal over management, and do not need to stay there every day can not leave, or else the patriarch also cultivate what ah …… Mu Jian Li stable management of half a year, the clan back on track, now can free up their hands to the real is a matter of course.
Mu Jian Li also asked: “Qingqing sister said, you in the cloud state siege Shentu sin?”
“Well, on the surface is the shape of the soul, but curry night said she felt something is not right ……”
“At Shen Tu Sin’s cultivation, there will always be some underhanded means, I’m afraid that he really didn’t die through.” Mu Jianli murmured, “Xue Mu, you have to be more careful, before there wasn’t a strong person of this level who was willing to jade with you, but now there is.”
Xue Mu nodded. In the past, no matter if they offended the Emperor or the Cave Voider, they all had a lot of scruples and didn’t want to incur unbearable consequences, so they all acted within a minimum bottom line rule. And people like Shen Tu Sin would not care about your consequences, once he had the strength to strike again, it would inevitably be a terrorist attack without any rules.
Mu Jianli stood up, straightened his collar for him, and softly said, “Do you still remember the Tianji Ice Plains?”
Xue Mu froze, “Uh?”
“The Heavenly Extreme Ice Plain is a thousand miles of glaciers, and it’s not just the longitudinal side, the layers below are unknown to be deep, there are many relics, and the inner part is extremely vast. Haitian Pavilion vertical and horizontal road sword casting valley three parties jointly explored this half a year, always only explored the tip of the iceberg, want to peek at all perhaps need more than ten years of work.”
“This I naturally know. Suddenly talking about this, is it that your Questioning Sword Sect also wants to get involved?”
“It’s not like they own that place. Originally, the ten thousand years of Xuan ice was broken by you and I. Now that the situation has stabilized, the elders of the sect have already proposed many times that, even if it is not for the resources, just for the sake of exercising the disciples’ martial cultivation will be of great benefit. Moreover, there are ancient beasts infesting underneath the glacier, and they have already injured many people, this is also considered to be related to us, and we can’t just sit back and do nothing.”
Xue Mu sighed, “After all is said and done, it turns out that you are resigning from me.”
Mu Jian Li shook his hand, “Just reporting to you, if you don’t let me go, I won’t go, I’ll just stay with you and let them go.”
Xue Mu helplessly rubbed her head, “Forget it, I never want to be bound to you. Remember what I said? A woman like Mu Jian Li should be in the middle of the river and lake, blossoming in the most beautiful light, and this Thousand Mile Glacier Stage, isn’t it the place for you to blossom? What’s more, I have a premonition, maybe in the future I also have to go to the ice plain again, always feel that there is still something hidden inside ……”
Mu Jian Li curiously said, “Your premonition?”
“Well ……” Xue Mu whispered, “This matter I have not mentioned to anyone else …… Ask the Sword Sect if you go, pay more attention to the depths, whether there are traces of evil spirits …… I have always suspected that if this thing exists, it is either beyond the distant sea, at the bottom of the desert, or …… in the depths of the ice plain.”
Mu Jianli’s body lightly shook and tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.
Zhuo Qingqing was buckling the door at this moment, “Duke, someone from the palace invited you to enter the palace.”
Xue Mu said, “Empress Dowager?”
“No, it’s the Emperor.”
Xue Mu froze for a moment, and Mu Jianli immediately said, “I’ll accompany you!”
In the past, even Ji Qingyuan had not summoned Xue Mu, and he would not go to see him under normal circumstances, or else who would be the one to cry when the swordsmen emerged from the back of the tent? Mu Jianli’s first reaction was to accompany him, which is only natural.
On the way to the palace, Xue Mu is still pondering. Ji Wuyou suddenly summoned, this thing is a little strange, both sides tore their faces to this extent, what else is visible? But to say to rely on this to kill him, and really not too reliable, Ji Wuyou do things when so openly?
But this makes Xue Mu very curious, he also wants to meet Ji Wuyou, to see what medicine he sells in his gourd.
No matter how to prepare is to do, late at night Zhuo Qingqing directly from the inner palace side door and enter, first sneak to the Ci Ning Palace to go, ready to receive. Together with Eunuch Li within, counted up foolproof, Xue Mu only with Mu Jian Li hand in hand into the palace.
Ji Wuyou’s summons was in the imperial study. When Xue Mu arrived outside the palace with big strides, there was an inner guard stopping him, “Patriarch Mu, please stop.”
Mu Jianli sheathed his flying light without saying a word, his icy cold sword qi on the inner guard’s neck, his eyes like frost.
The inner guard was sweating profusely, this is the Imperial Palace! Do you all know what you are doing?
Xue Mu faintly said, “If you want to meet, be a little sincere, otherwise turn around and leave, everyone will send a letter by wild goose.”
Ji Wuyou’s voice that seemed a bit amused came from within the imperial study, “Let Marquis Changxin and Marquis Qiang Jian enter the hall.”
Mu Jianli put his sword back into its sheath and without a word, followed Xue Mu in stride.
Ji Wuyou was sitting on the imperial throne reading the zhangzi, there were many internal guards on his left and right, and countless shadow guards in the dark, so it could be imagined that he was equally afraid that Xue Mu would not follow the rules and allow Mu Jianli to carry out an assassination.
Xue Mu stood still in front of him, Ji Wuyou dropped the scrolls, the two stared at each other for a while, Ji Wuyou suddenly smiled: “Please sit down.”
Xue Mu then led Mu Jian Li to sit down on the side and leisurely said, “I thought your majesty was going to ask why you didn’t kneel.”
Ji Wuyou casually said, “The eight sects of the righteous path do not kneel when they see the emperor, and this is the rule for thousands of years. Marquis Changxin is the same example.”
“Tsk ……,” Xue Mu sighed, “Your family’s old ancestors left some very headaches for your descendants.”
Ji Wuyou smiled, “It’s good that Marquis Changxin understands. However, this matter is not the fault of the ancestor, in order to settle the world early and live in peace, he made some concessions to the strongest of the eight sects, and it was also what the times forced him to do.”
Xue Mu said, “As far as I know, the Great Ancestor can be described as suppressing a world of strength, and why not take advantage of the momentum to sweep away the Qiankun, prefer to make concessions, leaving behind a thousand years of hidden dangers?”
“Because of the injuries sustained in the battle with your ancestor, not to mention suppressing the world, and then did not live for several years.” Ji Wuyou explained calmly, “The thing that troubles a hero the most is the existence of a rival between a peer and a peer in the world, resulting in hindrance everywhere. But on the contrary, if there isn’t such a person, it’s too lonely.”
Xue Mu suddenly laughed: “Your Majesty is somewhat like talking about yourself?”
Ji Wuyou also laughed: “You can think so, but I haven’t reached the point where I feel lonely, I’m only at the stage where I think my enemy is too much of a hindrance.”
Xue Mu leisurely said, “Actually, this kind of conflict can go both ways.”
“Oh? How can we make both ends meet?”
“A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless a male and a female.”
Ji Wuyou looked at Mu Jianli and suddenly let out a loud laugh, “It’s a pity that even though it was a male and a female back then, it’s a pity that the ancestor didn’t have Marquis Changxin’s ability to deal with women.”
