Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

After Mu Xishan went out, he found that the sky was slightly brighter than before, and it was not easy to notice. He asked Zhu'er casually, and Zhu'er said: "This is the residents who heard that you came back and lit candles on the street to celebrate." ! This night, the candles in the whole city will be emptied, and the residents have lost all their money!"

Mu Xishan paused on his way to the bedroom, then turned around and walked outside the mansion, "Let's take a look outside first."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Mu Xishan was completely stunned. There were lit candles on both sides of the street, which were arranged in various fonts by the residents, illuminating the street like a dream.Mu Xishan looked at the simple words "peace", "a thousand blessings", "health" and "longevity". Many of them were even just "welcome the return of the city lord". The residents were expressing their blessings in words they didn't know much about.

The candlelight illuminated Mu Xishan's face, his blue eyes slowly curved up, he waved and greeted the excited residents, Pearl was still whispering in his ear, "Actually, I learned today that When you were safe and sound, you also cried a lot in bed, when you returned home today, I was shocked when I saw the brand of the city lord on your hand, I didn’t expect you to be the city lord, it’s a blessing!"

Then Zhu'er inadvertently raised her head, saw the corner of Mu Xishan's eyes sparkle, and said in surprise, "City Lord, are you... crying?"

Cried?

Mu Xishan was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to touch his face, but no tears flowed down his face, and his face was still dry.He looked at Zhu'er suspiciously, and Zhu'er showed a gratified smile, "Have you been moved by the residents?"

Moving?

"...I don't know." Mu Xishan looked at the long street wrapped in candlelight, and walked two steps, but the sound of Zhu'er's footsteps behind him suddenly disappeared. He turned around, and there was an empty space behind him. It's also empty now.

This made him a little confused.

All the residents stood on both sides of the street, watching him with smiles on their faces. The whole night became quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing interspersed. Pearl beside the road suddenly said loudly:

"You keep going!"

Mu Xishan took another step forward and moved forward. At this time, melodious singing sounded from both sides of the street. The unfamiliar tune seemed to be a northern folk song. There were male and female voices, childish and lovely voices, and old voices, mixed together, floating in the air. Over the entire base, distant voices continued to join in, as if they were being transmitted.

Mu Xishan continued to walk, in the middle, wrapped in candlelight, his eyes gradually moistened, he blinked innocently, his eyes gradually blurred... Mu Xishan had never cried since he was a child, he always thought that tears came from weakness, so he like his mother.

Mu Xishan walked around this small base and returned to the street in front of the city lord's mansion again, but instead of feeling tired and tired, his heart was soft, as if filled with warm water.Seeing Mu Xishan's tense face, controlling the appearance of not letting tears flow, Zhu'er stepped forward and handed out a handkerchief, and said amusedly:

"City Lord, it is not a shameful act to cry because you are moved."

Mu Xishan lowered his eyes slowly, and said softly, "...Thank you." The residents next to him with sharp ears immediately burst into thunderous applause. The smile made the young man and woman howl unbearably, Mu Xishan's smile stopped abruptly, and his lips were pressed together.

Muxi Mountain felt like the dust had settled.

This is his base, not only his responsibility, but also his "home".Although he is not good at laughing, at least he can make them laugh... He will let them live a life of abundance and laughter, Mu Xishan silently made up his mind.

At the same time, on the other side, two or three hours had passed since Jiang Qi left Base S.

He didn't call the guard to pick him up, but drove the car himself. At this time, Jiang Qi was tightly wrapped from head to toe, no matter his hands, neck, hair, or face were exposed.The long-brimmed hat, mask, turned-up collar, and gloves made Jiang Qi look a little weird, and his reason in the past was "cold body".

The moon outside the window is gradually becoming full. Usually, during the time around the full moon, he rarely shows up except for important meetings.

When the congestion subsided yesterday, he remembered this secret. At this time, he should return to the Panlong Base immediately, but when he thought of Muxi Mountain, the hostility in his heart began to grow, and it took him a day. Jiang Qi subconsciously saw the , piled together by the falling shadow of clothes.

The moment he was distracted, the tires of the car rolled over the rough ground and suddenly slipped slightly. He quickly retracted his gaze and regained control of the steering wheel.But this familiar scene reminded him of Mu Xishan... Recalling his attitude towards Mu Xishan for several days in a row, Jiang Qi couldn't help covering his face, which made him frown together.

From the bottom of his heart, he admired Mu Xishan's character. If it wasn't for the short-term amnesia that allowed "that" to gain the upper hand, his emotions were all misinterpreted, and his emotions of wanting to get acquainted and understood further were expressed sharply, relying on belittling and irony to arouse Childish behavior of concern.

Jiang Qi sighed, knowing that he should leave this morning, but thinking of Mu Xishan's misunderstanding of him, he couldn't help but drive back——

And back to the s base.

Mu Xishan bid farewell to the residents and returned to the mansion. The more he walked towards the main courtyard, the more strange he asked: "Where did the guards go?"

Zhu'er explained: "Today, most of the guards in your main courtyard are Captain Pan's people, and there are others like Suyun courtyard and some people from the logistics. They captured Captain Pan at noon and cleaned the city lord's mansion by the way. Because the guards There are a lot of shortages, Jiang Jun always assigns the rest of the people to important places such as your office study, the treasury in the mansion, the front and back doors, so no matter whether it is your bedroom or Mrs. Su Yun's, there are no soldiers to handle. But In view of your comfort, Mr. Jiang Jun has already personally screened for new guards, and he has not returned yet, but according to his wishes, he will personally guard the door for you tonight."

Mu Xishan sighed, "Because there are no guards and it's not important, can others come in and out at will?"

Zhu'er immediately lowered her head, "When Captain Pan was being arrested, Mrs. Su Yun heard the movement and wanted to come over to the front yard to see. I told Mrs. that there were spies infiltrating the front yard. I was afraid of causing accidental injury and persuaded her. But you have lunch in the afternoon. After the meal, Mrs. Su Yun seemed to have noticed something, and she wanted to leave the house. After being stopped, her emotions began to break down. I was anxious to comfort her. Although I was a little puzzled when I saw City Lord Jiang walking towards your bedroom, I thought about it with his character. Status does not casually break into other people's bedrooms, thinking that I have an appointment with you... I'm sorry, I must be more cautious next time."

Zhu'er realized her mistake and knelt down, Mu Xishan raised her hand to get her up, "Go to the accounting room and deduct [-]% of your monthly salary as a fine, no exception."

Zhu'er nodded and retreated, Mu Xishan turned and went into the bedroom.

After pushing open the door, Mu Xishan stopped in his tracks for an instant—there was someone in the room!

The person with his back to him was wearing Jiang Qi's morning clothes and was sitting by the bed. Mu Xishan frowned and asked, "Didn't you leave?" Then he saw the person beside the bed slowly turning his head back, looking just like Jiang Qi. In terms of body shape, there is another face, the face wrapped in bandages.

Mu Xishan immediately took a few steps back and opened his mouth to call someone in.The man's feet moved like a flashing black shadow, and he came behind Mu Xishan in an instant, closed the door with a bang, covered Mu Xishan's mouth with his hand, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Be quiet, silly boy."

Mu Xishan's body began to tremble slightly. Although it was much weaker than last time, the instinct left by the original body still revealed the identity of the person in front of him——

It's Xi Shan!

Seeing that Mu Xishan fell silent, Xi Shan let go of his hand, and patted the side of Mu Xishan's face to comfort him, "You are so good!"

"Why are you here?!" Mu Xishan asked coldly, "I don't think you and I are close enough to chat late at night in the dormitory."

"I just came to see you." Xi Shan sat down beside Mu Xishan's bed, clapped his hands and beckoned Mu Xishan to come over.Unmoved, Mu Xishan went to sit on a chair far away from Xi Shan, and said coldly, "It's your courtesy to sit on someone else's bed without their permission?"

Xi Shan laughed lightly, showing a slightly "sad" expression, and said in a hoarse voice the "sentimental" words that made Mu Xishan's hair stand on end:

"You have forgotten the past, but I have to bear your cruelty. It's really unfair...Xishan, have you forgotten how you used to beg for my love desperately?"

Mu Xishan's heart trembled slightly, but his face remained silent, without answering.

"Amnesia can make people lose their feelings together? This is really cunning." Xi Shan sighed in an ugly voice, and began to recall the past of the two, "I still remember when we were still in the slave market on the border, every time you Night will run into my arms in fear to keep warm. You have amazing beauty at a young age, and you are afraid that you will be sold in your dreams one day...until a big fire."

Mu Xishan had an impression of the fire, and even of the life of a slave, but he had no impression of the person in front of him, "If it's just reminiscing about the past... I just want to know the purpose of your coming here. "

"You're really in a hurry." Xi Shan came over, came to Mu Xishan, put his hands on the back of the chair, wrapped Mu Xishan between his arms, bowed his head and said:

"Long time no see, I found that you did a lot of surprising things... I suddenly thought of a strange book I got a long time ago, it was dusty, it couldn't be opened, it was as hard as a brick, for If it can be sold for a good price, I will keep it. Until the fire broke out, your ridiculous kindness insisted on saving other slaves, we split up, and because I was worried about you, I lent you the book that is invulnerable to fire protection, Later we got separated in the fire, until we met again a few months ago, I accidentally mentioned the book, you insisted on returning it to me, but I didn’t care about the book, but after a while you told me that you accidentally took the book back to me. I lost it, and when I left, I suddenly married the city owner of the S base. Your behavior made me very strange, because after we met, you told me that you missed me for many years and wanted to be with me , but was rejected by me, I still thought it was because love turned into hate."

Xi Shan raised his hand and stroked Mu Xishan's neck, "Your abnormalities until now make me guess... Did you open that book and discover any secrets?"

The feeling of being grabbed by the neck reminded Mu Xishan of Jiang Qi for a moment, but the current situation did not allow him to think about it, because he discovered another thing that shocked him: the holy book was not brought by him, but The original body hid it in his body, and the original body's admiration for Xi Shan and fear at the same time made him puzzled.

"What did you think of?" Xi Shan asked, Mu Xishan temporarily put away his doubts, and said with a cold face: "I don't know what book you are talking about, because I have never seen it, and I don't even believe what you said... because I have no memory of being 'friends' with you."

Xi Shan laughed again, "But I know everything about you, and I even helped you train your abilities."

Xi Shan raised his hand and touched Mu Xishan's head, Mu Xishan's scalp tightened, Xi Shan raised his hand innocently, "You told me the fate core yourself, but I didn't hurt you, did I?" Xi Shan Put your hands on Mu Xishan's head again, wrap your palms around your life nucleus, and say in a persuasive manner: "Come on, close your eyes, when you put your consciousness into the life nucleus, think about your doubts, and gradually fall into a deep sleep, you will Can dream what you want to see."

Mu Xishan tried to do it. When his consciousness gradually fell asleep and his surroundings were blurred, he continued walking. Suddenly, a room appeared in front of him, and then a man with scars on his face was using this dream ability just like him. , is the original body.I don't know what I dreamed about, but the expression on Yuanzheng's face changes, sometimes heavy, sometimes painful.Mu Xishan was thinking about what did the original body dream about?As soon as the scene under his feet changed, it became pale again, and a mirror was placed in the white place.

Mu Xishan approached, and suddenly found a picture in the mirror, and the protagonist in the picture was Jiang Qi!

Jiang Qi was surrounded by black air and golden air at the same time, the black air fell to the ground and became Jiang Qi's shadow, then broke free from Jiang Qi's body, turned into a black person and left.

Then the picture disappeared, Jiang Qi's body was full of golden light, covering the whole mirror, this kind of light even drowned Jiang Qi, this kind of light made the mirror like a sun, the original body walked to the mirror and asked the mirror who is this?Said the mirror, this is the future monarch.The original body asked again: What happened to the black back?That's the dark side of human nature, says the mirror.The original body is puzzled, what I want to read is the strangeness of the book, why did you let me see the future monarch?The mirror said, that black shadow is by your side, if you hand over the holy book to him, the monarch will no longer be a monarch, and the future will also be in vain.If the original body didn't believe the mirror, he asked who the mirror was?said the mirror, I am the maker of the holy book.

Then Yuanshen woke up, opened his eyes and saw Xi Shan sitting beside his bed, and asked him why he practiced his powers at night, Yuanshen smiled reluctantly, and said, "I forgot where I put the holy book, I want to You need to find it through the ability." Xi Shan asked him, "Have you found it?" Yuan Shen lowered his eyes and said, "It seems to be lost."

After Xi Shan left, Mu Xishan watched Yuanshen sitting on the bed in a daze, and finally sewed the holy book into his body.

The dream ends here. Thinking of Yuanzheng's original identity as the mother of the country, Mu Xishan feels that Yuanzheng is not as weak as others think. At least, he may still be a very generous person, a person who will give up love for the sake of the overall situation.

Mu Xishan opened his eyes and returned to reality. When he looked up, he saw Xi Shan asking him, "Do you remember?"

Mu Xishan shook his head, seeing the ticking watch, several hours had passed.Xi Shan raised his face, "You really don't remember?"

Mu Xishan was thinking about how to prevaricate, when there was a sudden knock on the door, Pearl's voice came, "City Master, are you asleep?"

Xi Shan looked at Mu Xishan, and whispered in Mu Xishan's ear, "Let the people outside the door go away."

Mu Xishan opened his mouth, but said, "Come in!" At the same time, he raised his foot to kick Xi Shan's leg, trying to sweep him to the ground, Xi Shan's face sank, and he hid Kai Xishan's foot, a black mass emerged from his hand.

And Zhu'er, who pushed the door, was saying, "City Lord Jiang is back again, and I want to see you—" Looking up and seeing the scene in the room, she immediately screamed, and Mu Xishan shouted, "Call the guards!"

Following Zhu'er's voice, Xi Shan threw the black air at Zhu'er with his backhand. Jiang Qi pushed away the stunned Zhu'er and went to block the black air. The black air entered Jiang Qi's body like a mud cow into the sea, but did not cause any harm. , Zhu'er immediately felt relieved, ran away and shouted to attract the guards in the distance, while looking for Jiang Feng who hadn't come back yet.

Xi Shan heard footsteps approaching, turned around and saw Jiang Qi was also shocked!Cursed in a hoarse and ugly voice: "Damn!"

Jiang Qi took advantage of Xi Shan's stupefaction, grabbed Mu Xishan from under his hand, dragged him behind him, and got entangled with Xi Shan.Xi Shan's black energy has no effect on Jiang Qi, and even the black smoke-like speed has gradually weakened, but his skills are not weak, and he is on par with Jiang Qi. Mu Xishan carefully identified the two, and found that not only the body shape is exactly the same , and even the way of attacking was the same, which made it impossible for the two of them to gain the upper hand. At a stalemate, Xi Shan began to think about running away.

Mu Xishan's eyes kept chasing the two of them, but he didn't have a chance to intervene in the battle. At this moment, Jiang Qi's hat was knocked off to the ground.

There were guards coming from the yard, Mu Xishan grabbed Jiang Qi in an instant, stepped forward to pick up the hat and put it on his head again. At this moment of delay, Xi Shan had already run far away, and the guards he saw immediately chased him out.

Jiang Qi did not follow, but turned his head slowly, looked directly at Mu Xishan, and said word by word in a serious voice:

"You saw it all."

Even if Mu Xishan didn't see it, just based on the scene in the dream, and Jiang Qi's good and bad temper, sooner or later he would guess what it was.But the moment Jiang Qi's hat fell off just now, Mu Xishan saw that the shadow falling on the ground had no head.

During Mu Xishan's silence, Jiang Qi understood, and Mu Xishan said: "I said I didn't see anything, are you willing to believe me?"

"I don't believe it." After Jiang Qi finished speaking, she also fell silent, with a struggling expression on her face, and then suddenly became aware, without giving Mu Xishan any reaction, reached out and grabbed Mu Xishan's neck, and said, "...I Don't want to hurt you."

Mu Xishan wanted to break away from Jiang Qi's hand, but found that his strength was astonishing. When Jiang Qi really wanted to attack him, he couldn't escape at all. Jiang Qi grabbed his hand with one hand and even his legs were crushed. Hold down.Mu Xishan temporarily gave up resistance, and said calmly, "Your hands are not as gentle as your tone...I promise you that I will not tell anyone your secret."

Regret flashed in Jiang Qi's eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "I only believe that two kinds of people will not betray, dead people, or marriage partners who are restricted by the 'contract' and cannot betray." Jiang Qi pursed his mouth, "I don't want to do this, But you have to make a choice now, and you have three seconds to... tell me your answer."

"One." Mu Xishan turned his head to look at the empty yard, and all the guards ran to chase him.

Jiang Qi lifted up the stools on the left and right sides, and the stools hit the two half-open doors with force. The doors were forced outwards, and finally closed tightly, blocking Mu Xishan's view of the outside.

"Two." Mu Xishan suddenly heard the footsteps of two people running into the yard, and one of them was Zhu Eryin who kept making a sound.

Mu Xishan's heart relaxed, but Jiang Qi frowned. Hearing the footsteps gradually approaching, "It seems that you chose the former." Jiang Qi whispered in Mu Xishan's ear, "...I'm sorry."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, there were still more than ten seconds away from the house, but it only took one second for Jiang Qi to break his neck. Mu Xishan wanted to delay the time, but Jiang Qi was no longer willing to waste time. He tightened his hands, and the real pain made Mu Xishan Xishan changed his mind in an instant, and said hoarsely: "...meaning."

Jiang Qi let go of his hand slightly, "What did you say?"

Mu Xishan gritted his teeth hoarsely and said, "I am willing to marry you!"

At this time, the sound of footsteps stopped outside the door, as if startled by the words inside, Jiang Qi let go of his hands completely, Mu Xishan coughed while covering his neck, Jiang Qi called the people outside the door to come in, Zhu'er only then realized that his hands were slow Walking in scrambling, still shocked by the "auditory hallucinations" just now, she raised her eyes and saw the golden bachelor at the Panlong Base saying to her, "Starting tomorrow, you will prepare the documents for marriage."

Mu Xishan's face froze, and he raised his head to stare at Jiang Qi who didn't give him a chance to repent. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Jiang Feng standing at the door with a pale face.
