Chapter 422 Because of You
Chapter 422 Because of you
"Sure enough, it was you who did it." Xia Houdi stepped forward and glared at him: "You really dare to tell me!"
The two were less than a foot apart. Xue Mu looked at her quietly, his expression unchanged: "Why don't I dare to tell you? Is the tripod yours?"
"you……"
"The cauldron belongs to Pan Kou. With the destruction of the mind, all heroes competed for the cauldron. I got it. It's that simple. It's better to have it in my hand than in Leng Zhu's. If the Natural Sect has two cauldrons, I'm afraid you will think Can't even sleep."
Xia Houdi said angrily: "Who cares whether you take the tripod or not! But why did you pour the sewage on the court!"
"I won't talk about Ji Qingyuan's old grudge before planning to kill Qingqiu. A few days ago, he took advantage of Qingqiu's injury and asked someone to join forces to attack the Xingyue Sect. Later, he sent someone to assassinate me while I was on a mission to Jianzhou. You see, he wanted to I won't ask him why he wants to destroy my sect or even take my life." Xue Mu said calmly: "We are enemies, so what's so strange about opposing each other... Why can't you stand it when I pour dirty water on you? "
Xia Houdi fell silent for a long time before sighing tiredly: "Xue Mu, must you remind me that you and I should be enemies?"
"You and I are not enemies. In fact...even Ji Qingyuan and I are not enemies. His route is to lift up the Demon Sect to check and balance the right path. This is beneficial to me. We should be natural allies who each get what they need. If It’s not that he always wants to cause trouble for Xingyue Sect and kill me and Qingqiu, then how can we have such a relationship?" Xue Mu said seriously: "To be honest, I have never wanted to go against the imperial court, not even So...I tend to favor the imperial court."
Xia Houdi was stunned for a moment, looking like he didn't believe it.
"I specifically mentioned trouble, but I don't know how to say it. Just think it's because..." Xue Mu paused and whispered: "Because the imperial court has you."
Xia Houdi took another step back, pursed his lips and said, "You... you just know how to tease me."
Xue Mu shook his head and said, "This is the truth."
These words are true and not meant to be teasing.
Modern people only like a stable and prosperous world. From this perspective, although their positions are different from those of the imperial rulers, their goals are the same. Based on Xue Mu's experience in this world, he knows that if the imperial court was not doing things, the world would have been in chaos. .
But modern people also don’t have a good impression of feudal dynasties. If the rulers are perverted like Ji Qingyuan or mediocre like Ji Wuyong, then Xue Mu may plan to make him rebel against himself. Anyway, the Xingyue Sect is already I feel a bit burdened with this feeling...
But the problem is that many people in the court have a good impression of Xue Mu...
The three sects of the imperial court were aloof. Xue Mu was a good person when he came into contact with them. He was always promoting the development of society in all aspects of medicine and blacksmithing science. He was much more decent than someone who only knew how to practice martial arts or deceive people. Even the imperial officials who have been opposing each other, Zhang Bailing, Ye Tingsheng, and Xue Mu must admit that the prosperity of Lingzhou Jianzhou's people cannot be separated from their contributions.
The most important thing is Xiahoudi. She is not a saint, and she also has selfish motives. For example, her starling will be partial to her, and she will also act emotionally. But in most matters, she is the most competent chief arrester of the Six Doors. She is honest, dedicated, righteous, and truly wants to achieve peace in the world. Not to mention the friendship and ambiguity between the two, it was hard for Xue Mu to feel disgusted with the court just because there was such a person among the mainstays of the court.
So he intervened in the fight for position just to fight for his own interests. It is best to maintain the status quo and use Concubine Liu's hand. The medium level is to support a prince who has common interests with the Demon Sect to come to power. At the very least, a person who is hostile to the Xingyue Sect should not be allowed to come to power. For example, Ji Wuxing is indeed a bit unsuitable. This Tang king is quite thoughtful. Maybe he can cooperate happily in the early stage. It will be difficult to say after many years, but at least it is not a bad choice and can be considered for cooperation.
Anyway, no matter where he thought about it, Xue Mu had never considered planning a change of scenery. He had never even thought about it.
Because the court has you.
"We are not enemies." Xue Mu repeated, took out another gold medal, shook it, and said with a smile: "I am your subordinate, the chief catcher. Regarding the Natural Sect, I am willing to share the worries of the chief catcher."
"Are you going to expose to the outside world that the Virtual Reality Cauldron is in the Xingyue Sect?"
"Yes, in this way, no actions of the Natural Sect can stand, and the Kuangsha Sect no longer has the prerequisite to think about separatism. They can only attack me when they are angry. The imperial court has stood its ground, and it has become a battle between good and evil again. The six sects Taking the initiative again.”
"This is not good for you."
"Qingqiu has taken control of the cauldron, and there is nothing they can do about it. Besides, the cauldron cannot be hidden for a lifetime. It is better to expose it at this time than to be discovered by others in the future." I've caused quite a bit of trouble, so let's try to fix it before it's too late. Don't worry about it and make you angry with me all the time."
"Don't you know, you may be in danger outside?"
"At least the capital has you to protect me."
Xia Houdi stopped talking and stared at him quietly. There seemed to be a little mist in his usually heroic and firm eyes, covering his thoughts in a blur. After a while, he said: "Aren't you greedy for rewards?"
Xue Mu's eyes fell on her red lips, and his heart moved slightly.
She seemed to have said last time, okay...
Instead, Xia Houdi looked away and said calmly: "I'm not one of your Xingyue witches. Don't expect me to use this kind of thing to trick people into doing things. If Xue Captou wants to be promoted, he can consider it."
Xue Mu protested: "Hey, do you really think I'm a court eagle dog?"
"Aren't eagles and dogs suitable for you?" Xia Houdi tilted his head and thought: "Look... the eagle is a bird, and the dog is a beast. What are you if you are not a beast?"
Xue Mu's eyes widened.
I didn't do anything, why am I acting like a beast?
He took a step forward.
Xiahoudi took a step back.
Pushing one more step, Xia Houdi retreated to the wall, held the knife on his waist and said: "If you look squinty again, believe it or not, I will chop..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Mu put his index finger on her lips and sighed: "Okay, I'm nervous. It's not like I haven't been kissed before, so the taste is just like that... I said, you should go back and rest, be conservative. You haven't slept for three days and three nights. The world won't change without you. Don't put too much drama on yourself. It makes me feel bad. Are you responsible?"
Xia Houdi's tense body slowly softened, and she leaned against the wall tiredly without speaking. Xue Mu's slightly rough fingers did not move away from her lips, as if he was feeling the softness of her lips. She didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
The snowflakes continued to fall, hovering around the two of them, like dancing flakes, while the movement of the fingers on the lips seemed to be still. The two looked at each other in silence, and in this silent night, they solidified into a romantic and beautiful picture.
After an unknown amount of time, it seemed that the snow under their feet had reached the edges of their shoes. Xia Houdi suddenly said, "Xue Mu, do you want to hear my story?"
