The queen must start from the head

Chapter 174
After the meeting ended, it was already very late.

Mu Lian asked everyone to go back and rest, and she also got up and stretched her body.

Then, she came out of the study, and saw the old locust tree whose leaves were gradually withering and yellowing.

When the cool breeze picked up at night, Mu Lian looked up at the stars all over the sky, and murmured in a low voice, "It's almost autumn!"

Spring has passed and autumn has come, there are no monster clans invading, and the monarch has ordered light levies and low taxes. Farmers in the entire Northern Qi Kingdom are doing their best to prepare for the autumn harvest.

They can almost foresee that this year will be a good year.

But at this time, the life of Qijiaolou, the largest gold seller in the imperial city, is not easy.

On the same day, they bought a little girl who ran away in the building from an old seller.

The little girl's elder sister used to be the oiran in the building, and the little girl herself is also naturally beautiful, her appearance is not inferior to her sister's.

The old seller also reminded them that the goods came not clean and asked them to dispose of them as soon as possible.

Therefore, the owner of Qijiaolou invited a group of regular customers that night, and planned to auction them off directly.

Unexpectedly, a male disciple from the Wushuang Sect suddenly arrived, took him away, and even disabled the eyes of everyone present.

The landlord of Qijiaolou also self-destructed his eyes.

But he knew that the matter was far from over.Because he hasn't given an explanation to the other sect yet.

When the news came out from the Tianxia Wushuang sect that the leader was no longer in the sect, he was really relieved.He even hoped that the head of Mu could just die outside and never come back again.

However, even God is not on his side. That woman, who slaughtered [-] demon queens in one day, came back.

Two full days passed, and the owner of Qijiaolou was in deep panic. He knew that the woman would come to his door at any time.

Once the other party comes to his door, it will be his catastrophe for Qijiaolou!
That night, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Fear and worry were like wildfire, constantly burning in his heart, burning his heart.

Just as he was about to get up to get some air, a young man waving a folding fan was standing not far from the room and looking at him with a smile.

The landlord was shocked, but he suddenly remembered that he was blind now, and he should not be able to see anything.

Before he pretended not to see anything, he lay back on the bed, and the man waving the folding fan had already stopped him.

"Lord Xiao, you don't need to pretend in front of me. When the disciples of the Wushuang faction came to you that day, although you pretended to destroy your eyes, in fact, you have already cultivated a thaumaturgy. You can already see without eyes. to things around you."

Hearing the other party tell his details in a few words, Xiao Zhu lowered his face and said, "Your Excellency, you came late at night uninvited, just to expose this little trick?"

"Of course not. I came here tonight to kindly save your life, Lord Xiao!"

"What's the meaning of this?"

Xiao Zhu is still pretending to be stupid.

The man chuckled and said, "Tomorrow night at the latest, the leader Mu from the Wushuang Sect will come here to take your life and destroy your Qijiao Tower. Do you believe it or not?"

Does he even know this?

Louzhu Xiao was shocked in his heart, and the expression on his face also wavered.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If Sect Master Mu really wants to come, how can you save me?"

"Shanren has his own clever plan. Of course, it depends on whether you, Mr. Xiao, cooperate with my plan."

Master Xiao thought about it carefully, and the matter of the Wushuang faction was like a mountain, pressing on his head.Instead of waiting for the other party to destroy, it is better to find a way out.

In the end, he looked at the man who was still shaking the folding fan and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do."

-

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

In the Wushuang faction, on the training ground, the newly appointed Elder Xing is supervising the cultivation of the disciples.

As the news of Mu Lian's intention to move to the sect spread among the sect, some disciples whose parents and relatives were in Northern Qi were indeed reluctant to follow.

However, if you stay in the sect, you don't have to worry about food and drink, and there are various martial arts classics to practice.

When they go out and walk outside, they feel that they can be superior to others, so these people are somewhat reluctant to leave.

The first and second generation of disciples in the school all followed Mu Lian when they were in Luohuang Mountain, and almost none of these people wanted to leave.

The disciples of the third generation have only been in the sect for a short time, and when they first heard that the sect will be relocated again, and they still don't know where they are going, they were a little moved.

Chief Manager Wu Mei gave these people ten days to make a decision in ten days.

After finishing today's practice, Shi Tai thought for a while, left the sect and went to the blacksmith shop.

When he came back, his expression obviously relaxed a lot, as if he had let go of something.

Lu Qiu, the bastard of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, started to improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds after being single-handedly pointed out by the head of the house once.

When he learned that the sect was about to relocate, after consulting his mother, he finally decided to break away from the Zhenbeihou Mansion and brought his mother to the sect.

Now it's autumn, and a lot of wasteland within the sect's enclosure has been turned into fertile farmland by the parents who came with their children, and various fruits and vegetables are planted on it.

Relatives of the disciples have a separate accommodation area.

The conditions here are not as comfortable as the residences of the disciples, but the houses are spacious and fully furnished.

After Lu Qiu reported to Yuanxiu, the steward who managed the dormitory area, he brought his mother to live here.

He had just brought his mother into this dormitory compound, and the uncles, aunts, old men and old ladies from the left and right neighbors all surrounded him to greet him very warmly.

"Big girl, where did you come from?"

An old lady wrapped in a red scarf cheerfully came to help Lu Qiu's mother carry things, and asked.

Lu Qiu's mother was over forty years old and well maintained. She looked only in her early thirties, and she was a little shy when she was called out by her aunt.

The two women chatted, and Lu Qiu rolled up his sleeves, put things away for his mother, and tidied and cleaned the room.

Seeing his diligent appearance, the aunt couldn't help boasting, "Big sister, your kid is really good, unlike my kid, who eats and sleeps all day long, and never bothers to work."

Lu Qiu's mother asked curiously, "What's your child's name? Maybe my Qiu'er knows her too."

Lu Qiu thought to himself, there are hundreds of disciples in the sect, how could he recognize them all?
"My little chubby guy is called Sun Zi."

Lu Qiu was startled. Wasn't that the one he played with by throwing locust flowers on the old locust tree last time?

It stands to reason that Sun Zi entered the door earlier than him, so he is considered a senior brother.

But the other party was too young, so he didn't have the nerve to call him senior brother.

I didn't expect that the aunt my mother met was Sun Zi's mother, what a coincidence.

"Qiu'er, do you know this aunt's child? Is it your classmate?"

"Yes, yes..." Lu Qiu answered bravely.

It just so happened that at this time, the little fat boy Sun Zi was leading a group of brothers to find his old mother. He hadn't eaten the big pot of roast meat made by his mother for a long time, and his mouth was so greedy.

I heard from my father that my mother came to see the new neighbors, so he came over to have a look, and called my mother to go back to cook, and my father had already cooked the rice.

As a result, as soon as Sun Zi entered the door, he bumped into Lu Qiu who was about to go out.

Now that their eyes met, Sun Zi grinned and called out, "Junior Brother Lu."

Lu Qiu looked at the little fat man who was a head shorter than himself, and with a bitter face, he called out "Senior Brother Sun."

At this time, the mothers of the two senior brothers also came out.

When the aunt saw her little chubby, she knew that he had brought someone back to her home for dinner, so she immediately invited Lu Qiu's mother and Lu Qiu to her home for dinner.

Mother Lu nodded with a smile. This was the first time she had encountered such a lively event.

The old lady nodded, and Lu Qiu could only follow behind.

When the table was filled with food and wine, several elders and a group of senior brothers were seated, Lu Qiu's face had become bitterer than a bitter melon.

"Junior Brother Lu, don't be too polite, treat this as your own home, we are all our own people, eat vegetables and eat vegetables!"

Sun Zi greeted warmly.

And the group of friends he brought were all around his age, seeing Sun Zi treat Lu Qiu warmly now, all of them warmed up to the latter.

"Come on, Junior Brother Lu, let's have a toast!"

"Junior Brother Lu, let's punch!"

"Junior Brother Lu, you are too thin, come here, I'll get you a piece of meat, you should eat more meat, you know?"

Looking at the little radish heads around him who are obviously much shorter than him, he kept putting meat and vegetables in his bowl, and even opened his mouth to call "Junior Lu" and "Junior Lu", Lu Qiu really felt that he My heart is too bitter.

Master, when will you recruit another group of people, I want to be a disciple too!
After a group of people are full of wine and food, according to the rules of the door, they should return to their respective residences.

Sun Zi, who was satisfied with the meal, walked towards his residence while humming a little tune.

At this time, a skinny boy who was a little shorter than him came out from the grass beside him. He looked at Sun Zi with his big black eyes and said, "Brother Sun, did I pass the examination today?"

Sun Zi took a closer look, "Hey, it's Iron Head! Have you had dinner yet?"

"have eaten."

Tietou nodded, and asked what he had just said again.

Sun Zi smiled and said, "If you want to be Brother Sun's brother, and have the treatment of going home to eat meat with Brother Sun, I have to investigate you for a while! You see, there is no scum on your little arm. In the future, if you What should I do if I encounter a fight? Listen to Brother Sun, go back and eat more meat, work hard and practice, you know?"

Tietou nodded again and again, "Understood Brother Sun, I will continue to practice hard!"

"That's right."

Sun Zi patted Tietou's head again, and told him to go back to rest.

This kid has been dangling behind him like a follower since he was in the village.Now that I'm so old, I still haven't learned to be independent!
Alas, it's all because of my grandson's charm!
The little fat man imitated the master's gesture, clasped his hands behind his back, and murmured, "The cool breeze is trustworthy, and the autumn moon is boundless. I feel like a child, and my days are like years. Although I am not a graceful and elegant man in the wind, I have a broad mind." A strong mind and strong arms..."

The evening glow receded, and night fell quietly.

When the disciples in the sect all entered their respective residences, reading, practicing, and playing, their leader put on a black robe and left the sect.

-

It was a dark and windy night, and it was time to kill people.

As night fell and the lights came on, it was a good time for brothels and taverns to open their doors for business.

However, the gate of Qijiao Tower, one of the golden caves in the imperial city, is closed.

Inside and outside the door, not a single candle was lit.

On the pitch-black gatehouse, there was a pure gold signboard with three large characters of "Qijiaolou", which also revealed a bit of mystery in this dark night.

In the night, Mu Lian wore a black robe and came outside Qijiao Tower.

Seeing the scene in front of her where no one seemed to be inside the door, she thought for a while, then raised her legs and walked in.

As soon as she reached the door, the door opened automatically.

In the old hall where there were singing, singing, swallows dancing and dancing, there was not a single person in the hall.

When Mu Lian walked into the hall, her heart skipped a beat and she looked above her head.

She saw a black shadow rushing toward her at a high speed. Mu Lian raised her right hand and turned the zhenqi in her palm into a long knife, slashing and killing. When the knife Qi penetrated, the black shadow split directly into two halves.

Mu Lian didn't even look at the shadow, and continued to step on the wooden stairs to the second floor.

At the stairway, there was already a person waiting here. This person was still covered with a black cloth and held a long sword in his hand.

With a wave of her right hand, Mu Lian fell directly to the ground from the side of the stairs.

After going up to the second floor, this floor was still empty.

On the next floor, another person was waiting for her at the stairs.

These people are very weak, often unable to block Mu Lian's blow, and are easily cut off.

While walking, Mu Lian suddenly noticed something was wrong.

If the person riding Jiaolou really wanted to deal with her, he would have already invited a master to do it.

If you don't want to fight head-on with her, then why should you leave these warriors who are not in the first class for her to kill?

Just as her thoughts fluctuated, Mu Lian realized that this Qijiaolou was a scam!

She immediately turned over and jumped over the railing, jumping down from a height of more than ten meters in the air.

At this time, there was already a pile of corpses on the ground.

As soon as Mu Lian landed on the ground, the lights in the whole building suddenly turned on, and then a large group of officers and soldiers and countless people who came to watch the excitement appeared outside the door.

As soon as the leading official entered, he saw a man in a black robe standing among a group of fallen corpses with his back to the crowd.

He took a closer look at those who fell to the ground, and suddenly his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.

He pointed at the other party with a trembling hand and said, "Here, these are all envoys from the Great Qin Kingdom! You, who are you? Why did you kill these Great Qin envoys! Do you know that you broke through What a disaster!"

Hearing the official's accusation, the man in black slowly turned around.

As soon as he saw the other party's face, the official's words were immediately stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter a word.

At this moment, he only felt that the sky was falling, the sky was going to fall!

Why is Mu Sheng here tonight? !

The person who reported to him that someone here was killing the envoy of the Great Qin Kingdom was the owner of Qijiaolou himself!

Could it be that someone wants to plot against Mu Sheng again?

The officials who couldn't figure it out for the moment were trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, he had a premonition that he was going to be in big trouble!

Mu Lian, who turned around, glanced at the frightened official with a pale face, and with a wave of her sleeve, sent him out of the Qijiao Tower.

She looked at the seemingly empty corridor in front of her, "You are the one who used the exact same method of framing people and repeatedly plotted against me behind my back, right?"

No one answered her words.

Mu Lian raised her right hand, and a group of intense and fiery holy power began to condense in her palm.

"Before I destroy this place, you have one last chance to come out."

Still no one answered.

It seems that the other party has made up his mind.

Mu Lian strode out of the Qijiao Tower, and all the civilians and officers and soldiers surrounding the door retreated three feet away.

She jumped, stepped on the signboard of Qijiaolou, and climbed all the way until she reached the top floor.

In the next second, she suddenly released the holy power in her hand, and the powerful holy power directly caused the Qijiaolou to collapse with a force of destruction, and the golden holy light was extremely bright in the night sky.

The building collapsed quickly. A large number of flammable silk curtains were wrapped around the wood. When they encountered the fire that had been ignited in the building, the entire collapsed Qijiao Building quickly burst into flames.

The Gold Selling Cave, which used to be second to none in the Imperial City, is now engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Amidst the flames soaring into the sky, Mu Lian clearly heard a strange and pitiful scream.

However, with her eyesight, she couldn't see anything other than the dead bodies in the flames.

But Slime saw it, and it told Mu Lian that it was a kind of spirit that specially grew in human houses, and it needed someone to be inspired by a secret method and fed with heart blood before it could become its master.

Except for its owner, no one else can see it no matter how powerful it is.

Only your master can see it?
Mu Lian thought to herself, isn't this talking about the one lying on her head?

-

At this time, Ji Wuming, who was hiding in a certain place in the distance, touched his heart that was in severe pain at this time, and looked at the smiling man who was still shaking the paper fan with a distorted face.

"You didn't tell me before that the eucalyptus I raised will die!"

Eucalyptus was the baby he raised with his essence and blood when he was in Mingyue Tower.

Originally, the person in front of him made a good deal with him, but he just entered the Qijiao Tower under the pretext of helping to arrange the suspicious formation, and lured Mu Lian to the hook.

Who would have thought that after Mu Lian was caught committing a murder, she would directly destroy Qijiao Tower!

Now that the fire has started, he can't show up in front of others, and his body may not be kept...

"Young Master Ji, don't get angry, you can only gain if you give up everything! Now the net has been cast, and I'm just waiting to catch the fish!"

The folding fan man looked at the blazing fire, and a fiery light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

-

Not far away, looking at the Qijiao Tower in flames, Liu Xixi was laughing loudly as if there was no one else around, tears streaming down her face as she laughed.

Sister, did you see it?

I have destroyed Qijiaolou, a devil's den full of sin and filth!

Soon, those beasts who killed you will also be sent to hell!
Believe me, it will all be over soon, good and evil will come to an end!

Sister, you are in the sky, you must be able to see this scene, right?

Behind Liu Xixi, He Ping was looking at her body that was shaking from crying.

After thinking about it, he walked up to her and handed her a white handkerchief.

Liu Xixi raised her head with red and swollen eyes, glanced at He Ping, and took the handkerchief from his hand.

The fire burned all night and burned the entire Qijiao Tower to ashes.

And that golden signboard was also shattered into irregular golden beans by Mu Lian's holy power, attracting the people to rush in and loot it before the fire was extinguished.

After Mu Lian destroyed Qijiao Tower, she turned around and drifted away.

The rest of the officials who heard the news looked at me one by one, and I looked at you one by one, so they had to bite the bullet and agreed that everyone would go back together and write a joint memorial to the monarch.

The envoy sent by the Great Qin Kingdom died at Mu Sheng's hands. This matter was beyond their ability to bear.

How long did Liu Xixi wait for the fire in Qijiaolou?

She didn't move until the fire was completely extinguished and the sky began to turn pale.

Because she had stood for too long, her body was limp and weak when she moved, and she was about to fall down when she saw the situation. Seeing this, He Ping hurried forward and hugged her.

Liu Xixi leaned into He Ping's arms, and slowly reached out to hug him, but the latter didn't push her away.

In this way, the two embraced each other and stood for a while.

Feeling the warmth brought by the tall man in front of her, Liu Xixi's heart that had been indifferent for a long time, like the surface of water being stirred, had quite a few ripples.

At this time, she suddenly summoned up her courage, looked up at He Ping and asked, "Brother, if I say that I hope you can leave the sect with me, and we go wandering around the world together and be a couple of gods and immortals, would you like it?"

He Ping was stunned when he heard this. In fact, he was interested in Liu Xixi.

After the head's relocation order came down, he also knew that many third-generation disciples planned to leave.Therefore, he was not surprised that Liu Xixi would say that he wanted to leave.

But he once swore at the head's feet that he would devote his life's loyalty to the head and the sect, so he would not leave.

So he thought for a while and said, "Why don't we continue to live in the door?"

Liu Xixi was taken aback, she lowered her head, as if she had something hard to say.

After a while, she finally said, "She is a good person in charge."

He Ping was a little puzzled by the nonsensical words he said.

However, He Ping didn't care about this, but asked another thing he cared about, "Actually, the night before yesterday, you lied to the head of the sect, right? The landlord of Qijiaolou didn't even know that you were a disciple of the Wushuang faction." right?"

Liu Xixi nodded silently.

She knew that He Ping knew about her past and what happened in Qijiaolou that night.

So after saying that sentence, He Ping didn't come out to refute, she knew that this man was interested in her.

At the same time, she also knew that Qijiaolou would definitely be destroyed by the head of the house.

She raised her head and begged He Pingdao, "Brother, you won't tell the head of this matter, right?"

He Ping looked at her fair and pretty little face with melon seeds, and there were still tears on her face that I felt pity for, so he reached out and wiped her face for her and said, "I will help you keep this matter a secret. But this will not happen again. I will never do it in the future. Don't do this kind of thing again. She actually knows everything in charge of the sect."

Liu Xixi, who had already expected He Ping's answer, listened indifferently at first, until He Ping uttered the last sentence, her body shook slightly, and she immediately lowered her head.

Seeing her lowering her head meekly, he thought she was He Ping who realized her mistake, so he patted her head with a smile and said, "Things are in the past, let the past things go. Let's go, we should gone back."

"En." Liu Xixi responded.

With their backs to the rising morning glow, the two walked towards the direction of their sect.

And the two black shadows cast on the ground seemed to have turned into a sharp blade, and the tip of the blade was facing the direction of Wushuang faction.
