phoenix jiuxiao

Chapter 60

Su Hailing carefully looked at the Empress of Nanchu who was known as Dayong's strongest opponent.

I saw that her figure was very tall, probably 1.8 meters tall, and the wide phoenix robe concealed her figure, but just by looking at her silent footwork on the ground, this empress is definitely not simple!
Her appearance is not very beautiful, even a bit rough and cold, but maybe this is more in line with the aesthetic standards of the female world.A cold light flickered in those deep eyes from time to time, but when it fell on Situ Ye, it turned into infinite gentleness.

Could it be... She likes Situ Ye?Su Hailing's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at Situ Ye again.

Indeed, without the pretense of youthfulness and weakness, Situ Ye is very dazzling now, and there are probably very few women who are not attracted to him.

"This son said just now that there is a way to cure Lan Yan drunk?" The empress stared at Mu Qingchen, although her expression was as calm as usual, there was still a hint of eagerness.

"Yes." Mu Qingchen answered one word calmly, but did not look at him.

"Who are you, a strange poison that the evil doctor can't do anything about?" The queen said, took two steps forward, and grabbed it.

Mu Qingchen frowned, put his fingers together like a knife, and wanted to cut it.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Su Hailing stretched out his robe sleeves to block between the two, his face was covered with a layer of frost.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry." The queen was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that her actions were extremely inappropriate for a man.

"Your Majesty." Situ Ye smiled and said, "Although evil doctors and ghost doctors are also known as the best in medicine, the Qinglian lineage of Dayong and Xiaohanshan has become a family of its own through martial arts. In some respects, there is no one in the world." can."

Su Hailing was stunned when she heard the words, remembering that the ghost doctor Wu Jiu had instructed her to go to Xiaohan Mountain, so there was such a purpose in it, and Mu Qingchen's internal skills in recent years can indeed suppress the lingering poison.

Seeing the empress' earnest eyes, Mu Qingchen said indifferently: "I can cure the poison of Lanyan's drunkenness, but what price can your Majesty pay for it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and at the same time, they once again experienced his directness.

"Oh, I don't know what reward the young master wants?" The empress stared at him closely.

"Your Majesty." Situ Ye walked a few steps closer and said worriedly.

Mu Qingchen picked up a pair of rosewood chopsticks on the table and rubbed them casually, and the chopsticks turned into a pile of powder without sound.

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed, except for Situ Ye who didn't know martial arts.

The empress stared at Mu Qingchen's fair hand. She is an expert, so she could tell that the seemingly weak man in front of her had reached the realm of returning to nature. All the guys are inferior to him!
Mu Qingchen crushed it with his fingertips, causing the red sandalwood powder to scatter with the wind, and said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Qingchen's martial arts?"

"..." The empress was silent for a while, and said solemnly, "I have not seen many masters, but I also understand that although my son's martial arts cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world, he is definitely a master."

"To get rid of Lan Yanzui, I have to cut the tendons and wash the marrow for His Majesty, which consumes an astonishing amount of internal energy." Mu Qingchen said quietly, "I will not be able to use force for three months. Don't Your Majesty think that I should be guaranteed safe?"

The Queen's face gradually calmed down. Originally, she thought that the other party was trying to make things difficult, but when she heard this, she also began to ponder.Indeed, if a peerless master is not allowed to use force for three months, if the enemy comes to him, his life may be in danger.

"You don't want His Majesty to send experts or troops to protect you, do you?" Situ Ye said.

"First, I need Mr. Situ, the successor of the evil doctor, to go with me to a place to collect herbs. Second, we will live in the Southern Chu Palace for three months after we have pulled out the poison for His Majesty, and His Majesty must be responsible for our safety. Three, I want something from Nanchu's treasure house." Mu Qingchen said straightforwardly.

"Yes." The queen nodded immediately, "These requests are reasonable, but I wonder what the young master wants?"

"Sword of Punishing Evil." Mu Qingchen said without thinking.

"That's it?" The queen was stunned, "Although the Xie Xie Sword is a magic weapon, it is not a treasure."

"The unparalleled famous sword, those who practice it love it." Mu Qingchen said.

"Okay!" The queen immediately said, "I will send someone to bring the Xie Xie Sword immediately. Before you leave, I will be told that it is!"

"Respectfully, Your Majesty." Situ Ye exhaled, but there was no hint of "respectfully" in his tone.

When the queen could no longer be seen, Su Hailing said inexplicably: "Does she trust us too much?"

"Your Majesty can be regarded as my senior sister of the same school, and I have heard about the deeds of Qinglian's lineage." Situ Ye said.

"Senior Sister?" Su Hailing looked at him strangely.

"Don't mention her! It's your sweetheart..." Situ Ye looked at Mu Qingchen with great interest, "Isn't it as pure as it looks?"

Su Hailing smiled and did not defend himself.

Mu Qingchen just doesn't understand love, but in terms of knowledge and talent, he is amazing!Judging by what he said just now, not only did he solve the problem of taking Situ Ye out of the palace and back to the medicine house, he also found the safest place to heal the poison, but he forced the empress to owe him a favor!

"Master Mu, you said that you will not be able to use force for three months after treating the queen, is that true?" Haoyue asked.

Mu Qingchen didn't answer, picked up another chopstick and slashed towards his neck like lightning.

Haoyue was taken aback, and her figure flashed backwards, unexpectedly, Mu Qingchen seemed to have calculated all his escape routes, no matter how he dodged, the sharp chopsticks were always close to his neck like a shadow.

"Without internal strength, it doesn't mean I can't kill people." Mu Qingchen gently put down his chopsticks.

Haoyue wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, he knew that Mu Qingchen was serious just now, even if he didn't use internal force, just relying on his exquisite tricks, ordinary people can't help him.

"You said you're going to collect herbs, is that an excuse?" Situ Ye laughed.

"Who said it was an excuse?" Mu Qingchen looked at him as if, and slowly said, "To eradicate Lan Yanzui, you need the Qingxin Vine. The legendary Qingxin Vine is extremely tough, and only the Exorcism Sword can break it."

"Fortunately, the old master is gone, otherwise it would be strange if I knew that I was going to pull out her lifeblood and didn't turn me into medicine!" Situ Ye stuck out his tongue.

"What kind of vine was planted by the evil doctor?" Su Hailing asked.

"No." Situ Ye shrugged, "It grows not far from the medicine hut. Master said it is called Qingxin Vine. It is an excellent material for making soft whip weapons, but he didn't say that it can detoxify."

"That's just right, let's do it together." Su Hailing smiled, and sat down again to pick up the chopsticks, "Eat and eat, the food is cold!"

However, after such a fuss, the atmosphere at the beginning had already been completely destroyed, and Situ Ye ordered people to remove the food and drinks after filling his stomach casually.

Su Hailing thought about it, and simply let Haoyue go back to the inn, and moved all the luggage into the palace.Anyway, now the queen of a country has something to ask for, and she can't help but be in vain!
Situ Ye was very agile in his work, and quickly vacated a courtyard.

Thinking that he would have to come back and live for a few months after getting back the medical code, Su Hailing was not afraid of trouble, so he directed the attendants sent by Situ Ye around, and by the way, he also made trouble for the fox master, until dark. Had a hasty dinner.

"Have you played enough?" Mu Qingchen looked helpless.

"Staying in the palace is uncomfortable." Su Hailing hugged him from behind with a smile, leaned into his ear and said, "Accompany me tonight?"

Mu Qingchen's face suddenly became hot. Since that sleepless night, because of Haoyue's relationship, Su Hailing never touched him even if they shared the same bed.He didn't really understand what that meant, but the Shou Gongsha that the master had ordered not to be seen by women disappeared, which made him very uneasy all the time.

Now that Su Hailing's words came to my ears with a touch of warmth, suddenly, there seemed to be a crisp and itchy feeling from the bottom of my heart, not to say I hated it, but there was actually a little... secretly delighted.

"it is good."

Su Hailing was about to tease again, but Mu Qingchen's clear word made him stunned for a long time before he smiled.

That's right, this man is very loyal in matters of love, and he has never known what reserve is.But... she likes him just like that!

"Don't make me read." Mu Qingchen pushed her away uncomfortably, while turning over a page of the book on the table.

"Qingchen, tell me the truth." Su Hailing went around and pressed his book, with a sly smile in his eyes, "Will it really make you lose all your skills if you get rid of Lan Yanzui?"

"What do you think?" Mu Qingchen raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"I don't believe it." Su Hailing held his shoulders, tapped his upturned nose with one hand, and said with a smile, "I know that Qingchen is not a living Bodhisattva who is willing to do good. If you are really willing to pay such a high price to get rid of that Nanchu Empress, I'm really going to be jealous."

"Master said that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay, and to suffer a loss is to take advantage of it." Mu Qingchen said.

"What?" Su Hailing couldn't help being stunned, that Qinglian Sword Immortal who was as elegant as a fairy in her mind would say such a thing?What kind of man is he...

"Hailing, you need strength, don't you?" Mu Qingchen looked up at her without any surprise in his eyes.

"You know?" Su Hailing was shocked.

"Although you have never mentioned your identity, but..." Mu Qingchen smiled and said softly, "Qinglian's school of astrology is also extraordinary, although I only know a little bit about it, but... It can still be seen that you are definitely not an ordinary woman."

"Oh?" Su Hailing became interested when he heard the words, and asked with a smile, "Then from Qingchen's point of view, what is my fate?"

Mu Qingchen turned his head, looked at the dancing candles on the table, and remained silent for a long time.

"Can't you tell me?" Su Hailing said.

"One day..." After a long time, Mu Qingchen said slowly, "Above the heavens..."

Su Hailing swallowed the unspoken words later with a deep kiss.

"Dong dong dong..." At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Mu Qingchen pushed Su Hailing away, but his voice was not as cold as usual, and seemed a little flustered.

"Master Mu, it's me, Haoyue." Haoyue paused before saying.

"Come in." Mu Qingchen hurriedly stood up and tidied up the somewhat messy clothes.

Haoyue pushed the door open and entered, holding a long wooden box in her arms.

"Yue, what good stuff?" Su Hailing took it curiously.

"Her Majesty the Empress of Nanchu ordered someone to send it to Mr. Mu." Haoyue replied.

"Evil Killing Sword?" Su Hailing blurted out.

With a wave of Mu Qingchen's hand, the wooden box was blown away by his strong wind, revealing the precious sword inside.

"This is the Punishing Evil Sword, which is known as the best sword in the world?" Su Hailing looked at it, feeling greatly disappointed.

Originally, I thought that the so-called famous sword would cut iron like mud and be decisive, even if it was locked in the sheath, it would not be able to hide the fierce aura.However... the long sword lying on the velvet cushion in the box is extremely inconspicuous. The dark scabbard is not made of gold or wood. It cannot be seen what material it is made of, but it looks very old. The hilt is also made of the same material, and There is no protruding handguard. Looking at it, the hilt and scabbard look like a piece of dead wood connected together. The only thing that is strange is that this evil sword is four feet long, which is longer than the ordinary three-foot Qingfeng. A lot out!

"Back to the basics and true nature is the true color of a famous sword." Mu Qingchen said, picking up the evil sword and shaking it.

Hearing a clear sound of "嗡——", the sword was unsheathed, revealing a section of the blade, but it was still black and dull.

Su Hailing held the hilt and pulled out the whole sword, and looked it over carefully, only to see that although the body of the sword was dull and dull, there was no trace of rust, and it didn't look like metal at all. The humming is endless, very pleasant to the ear.

With a flip of his wrist, two ancient seal characters appeared on the other side of the sword near the hilt - Zhu Xie.

Mu Qingchen took out a silk scarf casually, and threw it lightly without any effort.

Su Hailing opened his eyes wide, watching the silk scarf dangling down on the sword, and then without stopping or making the slightest sound, it was neatly divided into two halves, each falling down.

"Good sword!" Haoyue said in shock.

"This is the best sword in the world, killing evil?" Su Hailing raised the evil killing sword, but if he hadn't witnessed the scene just now, he wouldn't think there was anything strange about this carbon rod-like sword.

Haoyue leaned over to pick up the two pieces of silk scarves that fell on the ground, but saw that the cuts of the silk scarves were smooth and flat, without a trace of being cut, as if they were originally two pieces.

Su Hailing was speechless secretly, carefully inserted the sword back into its sheath, and handed it to Mu Qingchen.

"Take it, I don't need magic weapons anymore." Mu Qingchen shook his head.

Su Hailing was startled, and then realized that Mu Qingchen wanted this sword for her!

The blessings of several lifetimes of cultivation allowed her to get such an infatuated man from such a strange man. Even though Mu Qingchen himself did not understand the word love, unconsciously, that ray of love had already slowly penetrated into each other's hearts.

"Miss, I'm going out first." The sound of Haoyue's footsteps and the door closing slightly louder than usual woke her up from her contemplation.

"Qingchen, wait for me." Su Hailing frowned, put down the evil sword, and chased him out.

Outside the door, the night sky is full of stars, and the coolness hits the face, but Haoyue has long since disappeared.

Su Hailing sighed softly, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

She always knew that Haoyue was hiding something from her, but she didn't want to force him, she always wanted to wait for him to speak out on his own initiative.However... for three years, she seemed to feel that the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

As soon as she turned around, she was about to go back to her room, when she glanced over, she found the lonely figure on the roof.

Su Hailing only felt a slight pain in his heart, lifted his breath, and climbed onto the roof.

"Miss, it's windy and cold here at night..." Haoyue said in surprise.

"This is a good place to enjoy the moon." Su Hailing didn't care about him, and chose a place on the glazed tile to sit down, patted the seat next to him and said, "Come here, sit with me for a while."

"Miss..." Haoyue smiled bitterly, hesitated for a while, and finally walked over to sit down, but said, "Today is the new moon, how can there be a moon to reward?"

"Yue, isn't it right here?" Su Hailing lifted his chin with two fingers with a smile.

"Miss is joking." Haoyue turned her head abruptly.

"Forget it." Su Hailing gave away his hand, and didn't care if the white clothes on his body would be dirty, so he lay back in a chic way, pillowed his hands, and said leisurely, "Miss, it's okay to enjoy the stars, the clouds, and the wind, right?" !"

Haoyue didn't answer, but quietly took off her cloak and covered her body.

"Yue, do you still think I'm the weak Miss Jiao?" Su Hailing smiled, but in the end he didn't refuse his kindness.

"Miss is poisonous, if I catch a cold, how can I explain to Mr. Mu?" Haoyue's eyes were lowered, but her tone was full of tenderness.

"Why do you have to explain to Qingchen?" Su Hailing asked inexplicably.

"Miss is my master, since Mr. Mu is already..." Haoyue blushed, as if he couldn't say anything, and vaguely passed over, "Naturally, he is also my master."

"Yue." Su Hailing frowned, grabbed his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I've said it many times, you are not a servant!"

"Miss..." Haoyue changed the topic, "The power of Haiyue Villa has already taken root in Dayong. I wonder when Miss will use it?"

"It's mine, and no one can take it away." Su Hailing was stunned, and then followed his words and turned his thoughts, "Whatever I want, Su Hailing, will definitely be obtained with my own hands, whether it is a country or a...beauty. "

When she said the last two words, her hand tightened, and she pressed that cold hand to her heart.

Haoyue's figure shook slightly. In the past three years, although he had already seen from various signs that Su Hailing would definitely not be willing to be free and easy, but it was the first time he heard her say it so clearly.For a moment, he was not only distraught.

This woman is his favorite... But, even though Su Xueling is bad in every way, she is always kind to him.What should he do?
In the afternoon, Mu Qingchen had a conversation with the Empress of Nanchu, clearly seeking Nanchu's support for Su Hailing. If... Su Hailing really returned to the palace one day, how would he face His Majesty...

"Yue, some things have to be chosen after all." Su Hailing's faint voice echoed in his ears, "I've made you think about it for three years, isn't that enough?"

"Miss, I..." Haoyue moved her lips, opened her mouth several times, but couldn't speak.

"How long do you want to escape?" Su Hailing's tone showed a hint of helplessness, and a hint of disappointment that she might not even be aware of.

She really likes Haoyue, but she doesn't like Haoyue to the extent that she can give up everything for him. She, Su Hailing, has fought all her life, and she is proud. How can she succumb to villains like Su Xueling and Su Yuling?
Love is finally not everything, and it is impossible to become her everything.

"Miss?" Haoyue looked at her worriedly, with little stars reflected in her dark eyes, twinkling in the night sky, making it hard to see clearly.

"If you're tired, go back to your room early to rest." When Su Hailing opened his closed eyes again, he had regained his former composure.

He got up neatly and jumped to the ground, raised his hand, and the cloak fell accurately on Haoyue's shoulders.

"Miss... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Haoyue tightly clutched the cloak that was still warm, her long eyelashes flicked, and a few crystal pearls rolled down.

A long sigh gradually melted into the wind and disappeared without a trace.

In the promenade not far away, the corner of the fiery red clothes flashed.

"It looks good?" Su Hailing reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"You, you don't make a sound when you walk!" Situ Ye turned around abruptly, and when he saw it was her, he didn't spill the poisonous powder in his hand.

"Obviously you are too engrossed in watching it." Su Hailing said angrily.

"You really want that chair?" Situ Ye asked curiously.

"What is that chair? It's only Su Xueling, and Wang An and King Jin who think it's so important." Su Hailing sneered.

"Oh, then what do you want?" Situ Ye asked in surprise.

"What do I want?" Su Hailing turned around, looked up at the distant starry sky, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "I want...the land under the starry sky will be branded with my Su Hailing's imprint!"

"You want to unify the mainland?" Situ Ye was stunned and lost his voice.

"Mainland?" Su Hailing smiled contemptuously, his voice was silent, but his words were resounding, "I want, heaven-down."

Situ Ye first looked at her as if he was looking at a monster, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing wildly.

Su Hailing didn't speak, nor did he get angry, but just waited quietly.

After a long time, Situ Ye finally fell silent, and leaned his whole body against the pillar: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty that I will directly chop you up in the palace?"

"Take me to pieces with knives, do you want to be a widow?" Su Hailing put one hand on the pillar, controlling his body in the narrow space of his arms, and even the breathing of the two could be heard from each other.

"Don't you want to divorce me?" Situ Ye curled his lips and cast a wink over him.

"I said three years ago that your tricks don't work for me." Su Hailing smiled softly. She has received anti-punishment training, and her mind has long been as hard as iron. She is not the love in her heart. Can touch her heart lake?

"Boring." Situ Ye sighed in frustration.

"We'll set off early tomorrow morning." Su Hailing left without saying a word, and turned away without hesitation.

Situ Ye looked at her tall and straight back, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Three years ago, this woman also saw through his true face at a glance, but she reached out her hand indifferently and gave him the freedom he dreamed of.Unexpectedly, three years later, we will meet again in this way...

He always cherished the marriage letter bestowed by Empress Dayong back then, but... when they met again, there was no place for him by her side.

Mu Qingchen... Situ Ye could clearly see that the indelible tenderness in Su Hailing's eyes was given to this man who was as cold as a banished fairy.

What's more, as early as three years ago, she already had a Haoyue, and she...why did she keep that marriage certificate...
