Chapter 644 Questioning
Under the protective canopy, the sunlight is no longer dazzling.
In a small courtyard in a bamboo forest, two handsome young men were sitting opposite each other and playing chess, with black and white chess pieces already covering the chess board.
Si Zijing's face was feminine, with a teasing smile:
“Xiao Qingzi, it looks like you lost again.”
Mu Qing raised her eyes in silence, her tone somewhat helpless:
“You have enough time in Gyeonggi to delve into these heresy.”
Si Zijing raised the corners of his lips and said proudly after reading:
"Ah? How do you know that I can often play chess with Mr. Xiangguo?"
Mu Qing felt silent for a while, but on the surface she rolled her eyes without any sign of anything unusual:
"Hey, who asked you?"
Si Zijing shrugged, with a smile in his eyes:
“When we were in Honglinyuan, every time you met the Prime Minister, you could show off to the rest of us for half a month, but you forgot about it so quickly?”
Honglin Academy is as famous as the Hanlin Academy for cultivating talents, and it belongs exclusively to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mu Qing was silent for a while after hearing this, then smiled and shook her head:
“It's been so many years and I'm still mentioning it.”
“There's no way, I'm a nostalgic person.”
“Almost done.”
"You can't come to me just to catch up on old times, right? What's the business?"
"Why can't we reminisce about the past? We were the only two who could talk about it as equals at the same time back then. It's not too late to talk about personal matters first, and then talk about business."
“Then say it.”
Si Zijing could only sigh softly when he saw this, and then his expression became solemn:
“Master Xiangguo and Master Lou Ji trust you very much, and you should not betray their trust.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qing's mind went blank. Fortunately, his long-term habits allowed him to develop the habit of keeping his emotions and anger indistinct, and he replied slowly:
“Is this a private matter or a public matter?”
Si Zijing snorted and said with a smile:
"Of course it's a private matter. If it were official business, it wouldn't be me. I don't think anything about the file for the New Year's Eve feast. Only after I came to your place will I know what kind of bad character it has become."
Mu Qing was silent for a while and hummed:
“This small place is not as good as your capital, and all supplies are scarce. How can we do this?”
Si Zijing did not respond to these words, but stared at the other party and said word by word:
“Mu Qing, if you continue like this, Director Lou and Xiang Guo may really give up on you.”
“It doesn't matter whether you give up or not, it's just fine for Mu to stay in this small place in the border area.”
“You don't have to be weird.”
Si Zijing said in a slow and thoughtful voice: "What happened back then was indeed not your fault. But with your status, you should know that when you sit in the position of Prime Minister, you often cannot judge right from wrong based on facts."
“So you, Mr. Jing, came here to give me a lecture?”
“I just don't want to see the former chief of Honglinyuan reduced to this.”
. Let's get down to business first.”
"good."
Si Zijing stared at the former close friend in front of him, nodded, and said solemnly:
"You also know that I don't like nonsense when it comes to business, so I'll make a long story short. I'm here for one thing only. The sect is planning to overthrow the Zhenxi Mansion. Now a certain adult has come here in person. I need you to mobilize the Black Scale Guards in the west. All the source crystals and war supplies in Zezhou.”
Mu Qing was silent for a while after hearing this, and then threw a token from the Sumeru Ring:
“Red Sandalwood Road, Shop No. 7, A, Code: Houerjiu.”
"good."
Si Zijing stood up without saluting, waved his hands casually, turned around and said:
"Now the city defense formation has been set up, and a war may break out at any time. I'll go get my things first, and you should also prepare. I'll see you at the government office in an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Zijing disappeared from the spot, leaving Mu Qing alone in the bamboo forest.
After staring at the intertwined chess game in front of her for a few breaths, Mu Qing slowly stood up and walked slowly out of the courtyard.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced back at the chessboard again, with a sigh in his dark eyes.
After his figure disappeared in the corner of the courtyard, a breeze blew, and the chessboard in the pavilion was broken into powder and scattered with the wind.
Looking at this scene from a hundred feet away, Si Zijing sighed softly, glanced down at the mark that was quietly left on Mu Qingzhong in the palm of his hand during the conversation, and murmured in a low voice:
"Sure enough, there are other things hidden. The Prime Minister's transfer of your boy to Xizezhou is not a test. You have chosen the wrong path. Don't blame me on the road to Huangquan."
When Li Junwu arrived at Xuanting Military Camp, to her surprise, Lu Baizou had been waiting here for a long time, as if he had anticipated her arrival.
What was even more beyond her expectation was that beside Lu Baizou stood a group of senior generals whom she had just seen in the government office, including even the veteran general named Jin who had been appointed as a loyal minister.
Turning over and dismounting, Li Junwu clenched his fists hidden under his brown armor slightly and glanced at the generals at the entrance of the military camp:
"I remember, my princess, that we have just arranged the city defense affairs. Why are you gathered here?"
The cold voice spread and reached the ears of everyone present, but no one spoke.
In silence,
Lu Baizou took a step forward, bowed his hands to Li Junwu, and said in a deep voice:
“Your Majesty, there are many people on the street, so please go into the camp first.”
Seeing this scene, Li Junwu didn't understand what was going on. She didn't understand why the generals who had just gathered together were on Lu Baizou's side as if they had been drunk.
With his mind spinning rapidly, Li Junwu frowned, glanced at the people present, and then walked into the barracks door first. After he entered, a group of generals also filed in.
Surrounded by the generals, or under surveillance, the group walked through several courtyards, turned a corner, and stepped into the military camp. Li Junwu suddenly stopped subconsciously.
She saw thousands of armored soldiers standing in the school grounds, wearing heavy armor, holding sharp blades, and showing murderous intent.
Lu Baizou took a step forward and signaled Li Junwu to step onto the Suwu platform. As more than ten people came onto the stage, more than ten thousand soldiers followed him.
After a moment of silence, Li Junwu said coldly:
“Commander Lu, can you tell me why you brought me to this school?”
Lu Baizou looked around at the tens of thousands of Zhenxi elites below and said loudly:
“Your Majesty, Lu has three questions.
“Before you disappeared, you reported to the Marquis that you captured the Desert Goddess alive. Today you have returned to the city. May I ask where the Desert Goddess is now?”
He said,
He did not wait for Li Junwu to reply, and spoke again:
"When we opened the city today, some soldiers saw a woman entering the city with a wolf-shaped monster. It was suspected to be a desert wolf. May I ask where the monster wolf is now?"
“Your Majesty, the Princess, is telling you that the Saint is attacking the city. May I ask where your news comes from? Is it what the desert witch said?”
“For the above three questions, I sincerely ask the princess to help clarify the doubts of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhenxi Army!
“I beg the princess to form a formation with thousands of soldiers to search the city!”
