The three of them left the inn and did not ride forward on horseback.
Instead, they walked all the way through the streets to the north of the city and came to the outside of the bamboo forest.
Mu Qianhua looked at a large bamboo forest in front of him.
Deep in the bamboo forest, there was a small bamboo house.
The surrounding environment was quiet and light.
The fragrance of bamboo is more elegant, but it is similar to the red plum in Silent Valley.
"Young master, we used bamboo as the foundation to build the illusion array.
It seems that Xu Banxian is quite talented."
Walking into the bamboo forest and approaching the illusion array, Lu Rui said.
In the Silent Valley, within a radius of twenty miles, there are many Formation, if this were not the case, people seeking medical treatment in the world would probably step into the Silent Valley.
Although Lu Rui was not proficient in formations, she began to understand some general formations.
"I'm afraid it took several years of hard work."
Mu Qianhua walked at the front, followed by Lu Rui and Chu Qing.
After entering the formation, Mu Qianhua observed the layout of the formation while walking, and did not forget to teach.
The two said: "This formation is constantly changing according to the growth of the bamboo.
There are many traces of removing excess bamboo shoots.
Judging from the color of the bamboo, the skill of the person setting up the formation is also constantly growing."
"Thank you for the compliment, young master.
I wonder what the young master has in mind when he breaks into the Cuizhu Residence without permission."
A handsome young master sat in a wheelchair, with a slightly scholarly air, and his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.
Ever since a man picking bamboo shoots appeared in the bamboo forest early this morning, he knew that something was going on.
Unexpectedly, the visitor could actually recognize the illusory array he had set up as if it were nothing.
The bright and grown man walked in.
When did such a place appear in the mausoleum city?
The number one.
"I've heard about Mr.
Xu's name for a long time, so I'm here to pay you a visit."
Mu Qianhua held the folding fan in his right hand and said.
"The girl is covering her face with a mask.
She seems to have no sincerity in visiting."
Xu Banxian looked at Mu Qianhua and said.
The person in front of him has a fairy-like temperament.
His neck is covered by a high-collar black shirt, but his hands are white and his fingers are slender.
His voice is like a distant flute.
Beautiful and distant, with cold and deep eyes, his eyes are lively, definitely not that of a man.
"Mr.
Xu deserves to be called Xu Banxian.
If I take off my mask, may I be invited in?"
Mu Qianhua put his hand on the mask and looked at Xu Banxian.
"Girl, you'd better put it on.
I don't dare to see the girl's beauty."
Xu Banxian immediately refused.
His temperament is extraordinary and rare in the world.
Although he is not qualified for Kung Fu, it can be seen that the three of them approached the bamboo forest.
Although it is almost noon, the bamboo forest can The dew was very heavy, and the masked woman in front of him had even a trace of dew on her body.

The two women dressed as men beside her had a little dew on their bodies, but their coats were not wet at all.
They were definitely not ordinary people, so he still wanted to be invisible.
"Master Xu retreated to the mountains, why did he lose his courage?"
As he spoke, Mu Qianhua had already walked to the edge of the bamboo stairs and looked at Xu Banxiandao above.
"It's better to be cautious.
After losing both legs, Xu still wants to survive for a few years."
Xu Banxian answered without hesitation.
Under the mask, a smile appeared on Mu Qianhua's lips.
This was the first time since her rebirth that she saw a person who admitted that he was timid and cherished his life.
She didn't feel that Xu Banxian was really timid.
He was afraid of death because of his own experience.
The world has lost that thought.
"When you are alive, you must cherish your life.
After all, when anyone is about to die, he will have the instinct to survive.
There is no one in the world who is not afraid of death."
"Girl, you have a good idea.
Since you have come all the way to live in the mountains and wild bamboos, girl, if you don't mind, please come in."
Xu Banxian looked at Mu Qianhua and said, this kind of thoroughness is rare in the world.
Regarding life and death, he also went through a lot of suffering before he could do it.
Today’s insights.
However, the person in front of him must be coming towards him.
He can only enter and exit the illusory formation he has set up.
If he cannot drive him away, Xu Banxian can only invite him.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
When Mu Qianhua said this, Xu Banxian rolled his eyes in his heart.
Why did it sound like the woman in front of him was helpless?
It was obvious that he had no way to drive her away, so his attitude suddenly changed.
"Tea, please."
As soon as Mu Qianhua sat down, the boy next to Xu Banxian immediately brought several cups of hot tea.
"Xiao Zhu, you are quite clever today.
Why don't I see you so clever on weekdays?"
Xu Banxian glanced at Xiao Zhu and glared.
"Young Master, you are a guest, so you have to treat yourself well."
Xiaozhu said matter-of-factly.
Is it easy for him?
After following Xu Banxian, he read a lot of books, but since Xu Banxian's legs were broken, he became more and more interested.
Silent, there is no one in Cuizhu Residence all year round, he can hardly speak, so when someone finally comes, he naturally has to entertain them.
"Why don't we go down and prepare lunch."
Xu Banxian said with a little helplessness.
Xiaozhu was a dying little beggar he saved on his way back from Yongcheng after his legs were crippled.
In order to repay his kindness, Xiaozhu stayed here.
By his side, if it hadn't been for Xiaozhu in the past six years, he would have died long ago.
"Yes, Young Master."
Xiaozhu said happily immediately.
Since he followed Xu Banxian, in the first year, Xu Banxian rarely said a word today.

Now, sometimes he is silent for a whole day.
It is rare for him to see Xu Banxian say so many words. , naturally entertained several visitors well.
"If you don't mind, I can help too."
Chu Qing immediately suggested.
After all, the most important purpose of her trip was to take care of Mu Qianhua's food and daily life.
"Okay."
Xiaozhu immediately agreed happily.
"Why don't we make bamboo tube rice?
I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Lu Rui immediately suggested as she looked at the green bamboos on the mountain.
"You are here to help too."
Chu Qing immediately looked at Lu Rui and said.
They all knew that Mu Qianhua must have something important to do when he came here, so naturally they would not disturb Mu Qianhua's conversation.
The three of them left happily.
Xu Banxian was slightly surprised.
Looking at the three masters and servants, they were getting along with each other in a way he had never seen before.
The masked woman in front of him made him even more curious.
"I haven't played chess for a long time.
Can you play a game with me, girl?"
On the table made of bamboo, the squares are the chessboard.
Xu Banxian has always loved playing chess.
Since living in Cuizhu Residence, when he was bored, he only played chess with himself.
The world is like a chess game, and he wants to analyze the purpose of the woman in front of him through the chess game.
"According to Mr.
Xu's words, the young master invites you first."
Mu Qianhua took the Young Master please come first.
"Mu Qianhua took the chess box containing the black stones and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Banxian did not give in, he directly picked up the white piece and then dropped it.
"Why didn't Mr.
Xu ask me my last name?"
Mu Qianhua asked after placing down the chess pieces one after another.
"The girl has an extraordinary background.
If she knows too much, trouble will naturally follow."
Xu Banxian answered directly without hesitation.
He is also a person who has seen the world, how could he not guess that Mu Qianhua's identity is either rich or noble?
Woolen cloth "My surname is Mu."
Since she wanted Xu Banxian for her own use, how could she let him continue to avoid her?
How could she let him go if she found an opportunity to drag him into trouble.
Hearing Mu Qianhua say the word "mu", Xu Banxian's hand hesitated a little, then put down the chess piece.
Looking at the position of the chess piece, he still found that he had lost his composure.
The word "mu" could only remind him of one person.
If the person in front of him As he thought, he might have to get into trouble.
"I have lived in the mountains for a long time and don't know the news outside."
Mu Qianhua said after calming down for a moment.
"The name of half-immortal is not unearned.

Looking at the overall situation, the ability to deduce worldly affairs cannot be forgotten.
Sometimes it is just the opposite, Mr.
Xu."
Mu Qianhua dropped the white piece, and the entire chess game changed drastically.
If Xu Banxian hadn't lost his mind just now and made the wrong move, the outcome would not have been decided so quickly.
"Girl is good at chess.
Since she wants something from me, why don't you want to give it to me so that you can sell it to a favor?"
Xu Banxian threw the black pieces in his hand into the chess box, his expression did not change at all and he said very calmly.
"If I do that, I'm afraid I'll leave Cuizhu Residence hungry."
Mu Qianhua glanced at the chess game and said.
Although Xu Banxian was at a disadvantage in the chess game on the table, he was just watching the chess game, and he also left himself a backup plan.
"As long as the girl is used to eating mountain side dishes, it will be fine."
After a game of chess, Xiaozhu and others had prepared a table of side dishes, bamboo shoots and wild vegetables, which gave it a rustic atmosphere.
Mu Qianhua took off her mask without hesitation.
Under the mask, Mu Qianhua had already changed her appearance.
If you stand out too much, even if you wear a mask, something might happen.
"Girl, please."
Xu Banxian glanced at Mu Qian's beautiful and handsome face, and then said, although he is not a member of the martial arts world, he also knows the art of disguise in the martial arts world.
It is said that the princess is praying for the country, but it is not appropriate to reveal her true face at this moment. .
"Can country side dishes suit the girl's taste?"
Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask when he saw that Mu Qianhua didn't dislike the simple meal on the table at all.
"It's delicious.
Thank you for your hard work."
Mu Qianhua nodded to Xiaozhu and said.
Xu Banxian was shocked by this move.
He was in a high position and it was rare for him to have the feelings of an ordinary person.
This really surprised him.
However, he no longer wanted to pursue worldly affairs and serve the country and the people.
Now he just wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains.
After lunch, the sun shone into the house, the dewdrops formed, and the fresh smell in the bamboo forest became stronger.
Mu Qianhua closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the natural smell.
"Girl, it's getting late.
It's time for me to say goodbye.
Although Lingcheng is very close to Yongcheng, it's not safe to leave too late."
Time passed little by little.
After lunch, he wanted to ask Mu Qian to paint several times.
After leaving, I didn't know how to speak.
Seeing that it was Yin Shi, Xu Banxian immediately spoke.
Mu Qianhua closed her eyes slightly.
There were some scars, but she didn't feel like exposing them.
But in the northern border today, she really didn't have a more suitable candidate than Xu Lin.
Even though there were many people around her who were very capable, she didn't A talent for governing the world.
Although Yun Jin and Jun Moyan both had talents, their special status meant that they could not appear in the eyes of the world for the time being.
She read through all the information in the North and screened them layer by layer, and Xu Lin was the best choice.
"Xu Lin, more than fifty years ago, your great-grandfather was a bachelor of Tiansheng.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Your grandfather also entered the court as an official.
However, due to frailty and illness, he had to resign and return to his ancestral home to cultivate.
However, he inevitably died young.
During her pregnancy, your mother...
It was the triennial college entrance examination.
In order to become a useful talent, Fu Yucheng took part in the college entrance examination.
On the way to the exam, he saved a young man from smallpox and died of the disease.
Before his death, he named you Xu Lin, I hope you have the talent of Qilin and place all my hopes on you.
You have been familiar with poetry and books since you were a child, but you suffered a lot due to the rough circumstances in your family.
Until six years ago, Shuirong, who had no ability to recognize people, resulted in Are you right now?
"Uncovering the past of the Xu family is not what Mu Qianhua wants, but Xu Lin must be used by her.
Now that she has come to Cuizhuju, she is bound to win over Xu Lin. .
"Although the girl said it roughly, I'm afraid she found more than that."
Xu Lin took a deep breath and said, before the general examination, he took part in the general examination in Yongcheng.
Because he couldn't stand Shuirong's behavior, he couldn't bear it, so he He offended Shui Rong.
If Shui Rong hadn't been afraid of making things worse, he would have died a long time ago.
In the process, he got used to the darkness of the officialdom and even broke one of his legs.
Therefore, he became disheartened and decided to live in seclusion and hide from the world. out.
"Do you still have a heart for the country and the people?"
Mu Qianhua took a deep breath and looked at Xu Lin and asked.
"When I was wronged, no one came to my aid.
In the past, the people I wanted to benefit for all laughed at my ignorance and incompetence and challenged authority behind my back.
Today, the girl asked me to get involved in worldly affairs to help those who hurt me and bullied me in the past.
Isn’t it a joke that people seek stability?
Life now is what I want, freedom.
Why do I need to get involved in those people who are fighting for fame and fortune and are full of calculations?
If they go into the officialdom, their life and death, and the situation in the world, have nothing to do with me."
Xu Lin's eyes were full of coldness, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
His legs were interrupted by Shui Rong.
It would be better to die than to look at eternity.
No one in the city came to help him.
In exchange for half of the Xu family's property, he was sent back to Lingcheng.
He had already seen through the world and human nature and did not want to get involved.
"You are right.
The situation in the world has nothing to do with you.
I have said this before.
In my heart, the life and death of others had nothing to do with me.
It still does today."
Mu Qianhua replied lightly.
"Then why are you involved again?
If so, you shouldn't be here."
The corners of Xu Lin's mouth raised slightly, and Mu Qianhua's words were contradictory.
"Because I once said that once you decide to seize the world, you must be responsible for the world.
Being responsible for the world, no matter what the original cause or reason, must have a beginning and an end.
What I do now is not for the world, but for one person, nothing more.

"Mu Qianhua said without hesitation.
Xu Lin was shocked by Mu Qianhua's words.
He couldn't imagine that Mu Qianhua had given everything he had to come to the North just for one person.
He was a little curious about Helian Shang.
On the rooftop, Helian Shang declared that he would only choose one person in his life.
At this moment, he felt that Helian Shang was a lucky person, but he was somehow involved in the overall situation of the world.
"Do you know how many people have been involved because of you?"
"Of course I know, so no matter what my intentions are, I will protect the people around me, even if I have to sacrifice everything in the world."
After Mu Qianhua said this, his aura suddenly changed.
Xu Lin actually felt that the woman in front of him was as domineering as the emperor.
"Girl, I have a very good wish in this situation.
It's a pity that in any fight, there must be sacrifices.
Now I really want to keep myself safe, that's all."
Xu Lin took a breath secretly, closed his eyes slightly, and thought about the past.
He was about to make a move again, fearing that a distracted Mu Qianhua would agree to Mu Qianhua's request and get involved in the dispute.
"Since we can't talk about serving the country and the people, how about we talk about a deal?"
Mu Qianhua understood that after hope was destroyed, it would be difficult to rekindle the old hope, at least not with a few words.
"Oh, I wonder what kind of deal the lady wants to negotiate with me."
Xu Lin said slightly curiously.
This princess is really a person who doesn't play by common sense.
She doesn't use power to bully him.
Her words just now did not require or ask for anything.
It was a persuasion, not a threat, but more like an ordinary conversation.
He was also surprised by the speed at which the topic was changed in a timely manner.
"How about I heal your legs in exchange for you being of use to me for five years?"
With Xu Lin's talent, and Xu Lin's experience in life and death, if he is involved, he will not let others manipulate him.
He will definitely act according to his own ideas and stabilize the northern territory.
With Xu Lin's talent, five years is enough to increase the number of people involved.
The battle between heaven and earth, according to the major forces today, does not intend to fight for a long time.
Whether it is destruction or destruction, it will only take about five years at most.
“How about three years?”
Five years was too long for him.
These six years, the first two years, were like living in hell.
In the past six years, he tried to revive his legs countless times.
At first, he consulted famous doctors.
After depleting the Xu family's wealth, he was completely disappointed in the end.
He had heard about Mu Qianhua's medical skills, but for him, five years was too long.
He had already lost the stability of the country and the stability of the country.
The people are interested in pursuing welfare.
"For five years, how about I give you a guarantee?
If you have no intention of serving the country or the people after five years, how about I guarantee that you will retire safely and successfully?"
Even if the situation in the northern border can be determined in three years, if it takes three years, She couldn't deal with Beiming, and the northern territory was not completely stable.
Since she wanted to plan, she had to plan it into a sure-win situation.
"How can I trust you and retreat safely?
It's easier said than done."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Even though he knew that Mu Qianhua was a promise-keeper, he couldn't even trust himself, so how could he trust others.
"On this basis, if you agree with me, this is yours."
Mu Qianhua took out a blank imperial edict covered with a jade seal from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Lin.
"Okay, deal."
A smile appeared on Xu Lin's lips, he took the imperial edict and said, although Mu Qianhua is the princess, if he guessed correctly, the blank imperial edict must have been given by Helian Jingteng himself.
I have heard about Helian Jingteng for a long time.
He loves Mu Qianhua far more than the prince, and now it is proved that what he said is true
