Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

Jiang Qi's actions only took a few seconds, and the contrast between the front and the back stunned the castellan.Mu Xishan flicked his wrist, but couldn't break away from Jiang Qi's hand.The city owners of the medium-sized base quickly ran over to remove the heavy objects that fell on Jiang Qi's legs.Xia Zhizhuo took a look at Jiang Qi's injury, and immediately sent someone to call Dean Lu, turned around to look around the messy reception room, and directed the remaining supernatural beings to repair the room.

Mu Xishan was helped by Lu Bao to sit up halfway, looked around, and found that the Lord of City B and the chief guard were not there, asked, Xia Zhizhu stepped forward and explained: "Someone took the opportunity to make trouble just now, but the scene was too chaotic and there is nothing wrong with it." Seeing clearly who made the move, City Lord B fled away, and the Chief of Guard led people to chase him out." After Xia Zhizhu finished speaking, his gaze passed over the Fu family members, his eyes revealing deep thought.

After a while, Dean Lu came over, checked Jiang Qi's leg, and said regretfully, "The city lord's life core is on his foot, and it was smashed to pieces."

The earth-type supernatural guard immediately looked flustered, and Mu Xishan looked away from Jiang Qi's lap, motioned for Lu Bao to go over to comfort him, and turned to the crowd, saying:

"The ability of City Lord Jiang was awakened by accident, and he did not intend to deceive. He originally planned to abolish the ability. Now that the accident happened, the worries of the city lords about the 'ratio of high-level people with abilities' will naturally be resolved. Please Secretary Xia take the city lords back to the Conference hall, do the finishing touches and end today's meeting."

The city owners looked at each other and followed Xia Zhizhu to leave.

Dean Lu led the nurses to carry Jiang Qi back to the hospital, but when he saw Mu Xishan's grasped wrist, he felt a little troubled.That hand pulled Mu Xishan out of the wind net at that time, his arm was injured by the wind blade, and the back was smashed bloody by scattered gravel.Dean Lu waved his hand to ask the male nurse to break the two of them apart. Several big men worked hard for a long time. The harder they broke apart, the tighter Jiang Qi's grip was. Not only did the bruises on Mu Xishan's wrist deepen, but the wound on Jiang Qi's arm Also bleed from tearing.

Dean Lu looked at Mu Xishan in embarrassment, "Look, how about..."

Mu Xishan nodded and followed Jiang Qi to Panlong Hospital.

When Jiang Qi cleaned up the fragments of the life nucleus in his feet, Mu Xishan accompanied him in and out of the operating room. When the operation was over, Jiang Qi lay on the hospital bed to sleep, and Mu Xishan sat by the hospital bed and listened to Lu Bao's report on the current situation of the S base.

"City Master, Zuo Banner called just now and reserved mutant silkworm cocoons for making masks, and the others have been woven into fabrics. Although the size of mutant silkworm cocoons is more than 20 times that of ordinary silkworm cocoons, the quantity is limited. If you make clothes, it may cost a hundred None of them arrived."

Mu Xishan asked about the fabric area, thought for a while and said to Lu Bao: "Then don't make clothes, let them make masks. The product output should be at least thousands, which can supply most of the population of S base. This can filter the toxic particles in the air , try to make a copy for each person." Then, Mu Xishan instructed Lu Bao to arrange for people to assist the dwarves in breeding a large number of mutant silkworms, and at the same time sent soldiers with supernatural powers to the isolation area to find supplementary materials for the mutant silkworms in the silk.

Lu Bao asked about the sales plan again, and Mu Xishan said: "Set different purchase prices according to the level of morality. For those poor residents, you can allow the corresponding morality points to be mortgaged. You can ask Qian Sheng to calculate the residents' income and set a reasonable period, which can save money. The credits will be repaid for repayment, and the credits will be completely deducted for long-term credit exceeding the deadline.”

Next, he reported the progress of the construction of the dwarf's residence. Lu Bao mentioned that Pan Yi had traveled all over the isolation areas in the past few days and found all the flowers needed for Muxi Mountain.

Mu Xishan nodded to show that he knew, and planned to start making Surong Dan when he returned to the base.After looking for flower materials, Pan Yi went to the tunnel of the stone cave to catch mutated fireflies, and asked the dwarves to study the method of artificial breeding.It takes a year for fireflies to grow from eggs to adults, but they can only survive for a week. After the mutation, the growth cycle is not shortened, but the brightness is only increased.The natural growth time is too long, which is not conducive to the promotion of fluorescent lamps... But no matter whether it is a mutant silkworm or a mutant firefly, it is not a long-term solution for the dwarf to breed.

Gnomes are proficient in mechanical production and create inventions.Those who are familiar with animals and plants are the children of the forest, the elves.They love life and are good at brewing flower wine and fruit wine, breeding animals in captivity, and composing poems and singing.As a half-breed elf living in human society, Mu Xishan did not cultivate the above hobbies except for the gifted skill of archery.

Mu Xishan pulled back his thoughts, finished the conversation with Lu Bao after asking about other matters, and asked him to go back to the annex to prepare and return to the base tomorrow.

There were two people left in the VIP ward again. Seeing that Jiang Qi hadn't woken up yet, Mu Xishan frowned slightly annoyed at the thought of what happened today, and finally closed his eyes and leaned against the wall for a nap.

The sunset glow outside the window dyed half the sky red, Jiang Qi woke up in pain, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Xishan, who was leaning against the wall and sleeping with his eyes closed.

Looking up from the bottom up——

The first thing I saw was Mu Xishan's neck, the strangle marks had faded a bit, but Jiang Qi still felt glaring visually.Further up is a smooth chin, which has no stubble due to the fusion of the blood of the elves. It is not like the inconspicuous moustache that women of this era have on their mouths, but Jiang Qi's eyes glanced directly, stopping at Fengrun on the lips.The lips were slightly parted, and there was no bruising that worried him.Further up is the straight nose, which has not twitched due to difficulty in breathing, and is breathing steadily.

Jiang Qi closed his eyes fiercely. Now when he sees Mu Xishan's face, the image of his suffering will appear in Jiang Qi's mind... Jiang Qi wants to shake those images away, but whether it is Mu Xishan's frowning or The twitching fingers are clearly imprinted in Jiang Qi's memory.Jiang Qi had no choice but to open his eyes again, his eyes locked on Mu Xishan.

The feeling of getting lost and found is a bit like the rest of your life after a catastrophe. Jiang Qi found that if you can't use your eyes to determine the safety of Muxi Mountain at all times, the fear that arises spontaneously will strangle your heart like a shadow.

"It's really terrible..." Jiang Qi raised his hand to cover his face, only to realize that he was still holding Mu Xishan's wrist.

Jiang Qi moved his hand away, saw the bruise on Mu Xishan's wrist, and whispered, "What the hell did I do..." His fingers couldn't help but want to touch Mu Xishan's wrist. At this time, Mu Xishan's eyelashes fluttered a few times and opened With both eyes, looking down at Jiang Qi who woke up, the light in his eyes was like the sun shining on an ice sculpture, beautiful but cold to the bone, making it hard to approach.

Jiang Qi withdrew his fingers calmly, got up and called Xia Zhizhu to ask about the follow-up situation.Mu Xishan moved his wrist to see that Jiang Qi was awake and was dealing with business, and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he felt a thorn on his back——

Looking back, I saw Jiang Qi's eyes closely chasing him, as if afraid that he would run away, although there was no change on that handsome face.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xishan asked coldly.

Jiang Qi said in a stiff tone: "...Your injury hasn't been treated yet." Before Mu Xishan could answer, he turned his head and told Xia Zhizhu to call the doctor.

Mu Xishan looked down at the scratches and bruises on his hands, and felt that Jiang Qi was making a fuss over a molehill.Xia Zhizhu led the doctor in, and Mu Xishan sat back on the stool, allowing the doctor to deal with minor injuries with the same prudence as if facing a serious illness.

Jiang Qi continued the topic just now, and said to Xia Zhishu: "The city owner of base b has a bad temper and is prone to impulsive bad things. Although he likes Liu Shuhua and has resentment towards Mu Xishan and me, he is afraid of death and heavy power, so he doesn't Don’t offend me and Mu Xishan even by throwing down the status of the city lord. It is very likely that someone has incited him, and his trump card must be not small. When you send someone to hand over the b base, pay attention to the movement in the b base—— "Jiang Qi paused again, looking to the other side.

After Mu Xishan treated the minor injury, the doctor left. He followed behind and walked to the door again. He noticed that Jiang Qi's voice also stopped abruptly, and the feeling of thorns on his back reappeared——

Mu Xishan turned his head and saw that Jiang Qi's gaze was firmly fixed on him. Even Xia Zhizhu realized that something was wrong with his city lord... Although Xia Zhizhu was puzzled, as a qualified subordinate, he must learn to share his boss's worries, Seeing the silent face of his city lord from the corner of his eye, he sighed in his heart and said:

"City Master Mu, the City Master has just had surgery on his feet, so he is inconvenient to move around. Why don't you wait a while and go back with the City Master, and you can take care of him on the way."

Mu Xishan's eyes signaled to the guards outside the door that he did not intend to accept it.

Xia Zhizhuo looked at Jiang Qi helplessly, and Jiang Qi said to Mu Xishan, "Wait a minute", then turned around and told Xia Zhizhuo quickly, "City Lord B will definitely find a way to help Liu Shuhua out of trouble if someone breaks into the prison , let them go if you pretend to resist, and send someone to follow them secretly. If the owner of City B doesn't act, give him a chance to act."

Xia Zhizhu took the order to leave, and closed the door tightly, providing the two with a space to talk with peace of mind.Jiang Qi looked at Mu Xishan again, there was a little impatience on the other side's face, Jiang Qi tightened his fingers as he wanted to leave immediately, and blurted out a topic:

"I've seen Simon... used his ability to capture the shadow's past."

Mu Xishan didn't recover for a moment when he heard the words, and after digesting the information, he really walked back to Jiang Qi's bed, sat down on the chair, and looked at Jiang Qi seriously.Jiang Qi was slightly relieved when he came back, but he was also suffocated by Mu Xishan's attention to Simon, and continued: "I had a conversation with him..."

"No." Mu Xishan frowned... The spoken language of later generations is different from the present, and it is impossible for Simon and Jiang Qi to communicate normally.But looking at Jiang Qi's contemplative brow, the content of the conversation seemed to be unusual.Mu Xishan thought of something, and asked incredulously:

"... Are you in a reincarnation relationship?"

Language cannot communicate, but the resonance of the soul is interlinked.

Jiang Qi nodded, recounted the conversation between the two, and confessed his doubts about Mu Xishan's origin. Where...to me, you are just Mu Xishan now." Mu Xishan listened to Jiang Qi's continuation in doubt.

In the retelling, the only thing Jiang Qi concealed was Simon's ambiguous words... This kind of despicable behavior made Jiang Qi look very serious, and Mu Xishan also thought in a serious direction——

"If you are really in a reincarnation relationship, your situation will become quite dangerous."

Jiang Qi turned his attention back to the business, "How do you say?"

"Since you already know my background, you can tell me many things... Maybe you don't fully understand Simon's explanation." Mu Xishan warned Jiang Qi cautiously:

"The reincarnation relationship exists in any aspect. As big as the general trend of history, the negative energy in society is a dark year, and the prosperity of an era is a bright year. The prosperity turns to decline, and the darkness and light alternate. As small as flowers and plants, spring blooms and autumn fades. Some kind of flower year Year after year of blooming and failure, we have seen the resurgence of spring colors, but the blooming flowers have changed several rounds, and they have the same root... This is a romantic and dangerous relationship. Another name for reincarnation relationship, It's called a 'replacement' relationship."

The meaning between the lines made Jiang Qi pay attention, and Mu Xishan continued:

"If a foreign body invades, people's self-protection will be exclusive. If it is a reincarnation relationship, the invasion of the soul is as natural as a stream flowing into the sea. And the reincarnation relationship cannot coexist. This is why Simon can touch other objects but cannot touch you. The reason. As long as the reincarnation finds the right opportunity, one party can infiltrate the other party unknowingly until it replaces it."

Mu Xishan looked directly at Jiang Qi, and those dark green eyes could make some kind of commotion in Jiang Qi's heart when they were handing over... and also many thoughts.

Jiang Qi's fingers moved slightly, and then they clasped together to calm down.

Jiang Qi understood that Mu Xishan was the introduction to provoking his obsession.He hasn't figured out the limit of this obsession, how long it will appear, and how long... Among these many unknowns, his involuntary emotions drawn by Mu Xishan will kill him.Rationally, Jiang Qi does not allow himself to do actions that have no chance of winning, and being involuntarily controlled by obsession is also an experience that Jiang Qi absolutely does not want to experience again.

Rationality, rationality, rationality... Jiang Qi thought carefully about the word. Mu Xishan suddenly stood up from his seat, and Jiang Qi subconsciously raised his head immediately, with a hint of nervousness in his tone, "Where are you going?"

Mu Xishan gave Jiang Qi a strange look, "Go to the bathroom."

"Ah." Jiang Qi tore off his collar in frustration, "...you go."

Mu Xishan looked at him again inexplicably, then turned and went out.Jiang Qi was waiting alone in the ward, it was already dark, and there were few people passing by in the quiet corridor of the hospital. The second hand on the watch moved, and all the subtle sounds became clear and audible, including the rustling of body movements rubbing against the cloth.Anxiety slowly surfaced in his heart, Jiang Qi clasped his hands together, rubbing his fingers constantly, feeling his throat was dry and tight as if he had been dehydrated for several days.

Jiang Qi, who was restless, finally stood up suddenly and left the ward in a hurry.

Mu Xishan walked out of the toilet cubicle and came to the sink. Clean and transparent drinking water flowed out of the water pipe. Mu Xishan lamented the strength of the Panlong Base in his heart. He lowered his head to clean the dust on his face, raised his wet face, and wiped off the water while looking in the mirror. While combing the wet hair with his hands, he inadvertently saw something in the mirror.

Mu Xishan looked back and saw Jiang Qi standing by the door with a serious expression, looking straight at him, and immediately looked away when he was discovered.Mu Xishan said, "...you go to the bathroom too?"

Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "It's time for dinner." He turned around and hopped away on one foot.

Mu Xishan followed behind and didn't take a few steps. Jiang Qi in front slowly slowed down and finally walked behind him. Mu Xishan thought it was because of Jiang Qi's foot injury and didn't care.The passing nurses wanted to help, but Jiang Qi refused. Mu Xishan found that Jiang Qi looked at him from time to time, misunderstood what Jiang Qi meant, and said:

"Don't expect me to help someone who puts me in danger."

Jiang Qi shook his head, remained silent, and didn't speak anymore... He had no intention of being helped by someone, otherwise he wouldn't have waved back the guards.This is not from the man's self-esteem, but that he needs to use pain to make him remember: the bad experience he imposed on Mu Xishan without authorization.

This day is the last day of the Northern Conference. The city owners of the nearby bases have left one after another. Remote bases like Muxi Mountain will be delayed for another day. Before leaving, the city owners of the medium-sized bases have discussed with Gui Chengmei about product cooperation. Even Dean Lu went to talk about buying raw materials for facial masks.

In the dim light of dawn.

Jiang Qi personally sent off Mu Xishan's convoy. The convoy at base s gradually drove away, became smaller, and disappeared.Xia Zhizhu looked at Jiang Qi's motionless back while looking at the road, but couldn't see the expression on Jiang Qi's face. Seeing that the morning meeting was approaching, he couldn't help calling out a reminder.

On the way back, Xia Zhizhu obviously found that Jiang Qi's mood became more and more restless, which could be seen from his increasingly tense jaw.

During the morning meeting in the morning, Jiang Qi kept frowning, which made the subordinates who reported the affairs a little trembling.Every once in a while, Jiang Qi would check the time, his serious expression would become more rigid, and then he would pull his collar, revealing half of his chest, many young female secretaries were out of their minds.

After the meeting, Jiang Qi suddenly asked Xia Zhizhu: "Did Mu Xishan reach the base safely?"

Xia Zhizhu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the watch that pointed to ten o'clock. According to the distance between the two places, Jiang Qi shouldn't have asked such a question, but Xia Zhizhu still seriously replied: "City Master Mu returned to Base S Around three or four in the afternoon."

Jiang Qi frowned lightly, "I see."

Xia Zhizhu was about to leave to deal with other official duties, but was stopped by Jiang Qi again, and said behind him:

"Bring me the crime data on the northern robbery road, the earthquake area data, today's weather data, the records of the whereabouts of unknown persons entering and leaving the north, and the geographical route data from the Panlong base to the S base, as well as the surrounding base data. "

Xia Zhizhuo listened to the big call in a daze, completely confused about what the city lord was going to do? !

After finishing his official duties that day, Jiang Qi called the communication station of Base S as soon as he arrived at three o'clock.The station master respectfully informed Mu Xishan that he hadn't come back yet.After Jiang Qi hung up the phone, the station master patted his head and was still lamenting the true love between Jiang and their city masters. However, within 10 minutes, he received a call again asking if Mu Xishan had returned. The station master felt a little strange, but patiently explained Their city lord was still on the way, and then ended the call again.

The staff joked: "Tsk tsk! I didn't expect City Lord Jiang to be so nervous in private, our city lord?!"

The side chattered and said: "The station master is very lucky to be able to talk to City Lord Jiang in person. Let us answer it next time!"

The few people didn't talk for a long time, the phone rang again, the station master saw that the area code was Panlong Base, and gave the opportunity to the staff next to him.At this time, the few people were still excited about communicating with the important person... But as the number of calls Jiang Qi made increased and the time between calls decreased, after an hour, both the station master and the staff began to feel headaches.

"What's going on, City Lord Jiang?"

The staff had just finished complaining when the phone rang again. The stationmaster's eyelids twitched and saw that the area code was Panlong Base again. He looked up at the time and saw that it had only been a minute since he hung up the phone.The station master picked up the phone with a pale face, and Jiang Qi's deep and increasingly intimidating voice came from the receiver, "It's already four o'clock, why hasn't your city lord come back yet, don't you have any soldiers to check the situation?!"

Jiang Qi paced back and forth in the meeting room. The secretaries were startled like quail by his actions, nestling in the corner peacefully, not daring to make any noise.

The station master's old face was wrinkled into an orange peel. At this time, a staff member shouted: "The city master is back! The city master is back!" The station master finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked someone to notify Mu Xishan.

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Qi finally heard Mu Xishan Qingyue's voice through the phone, which made Jiang Qi stop pacing and sat back on the chair.

Mu Xishan asked at the other end: 【What do you want from me? 】

Jiang Qi was silent for a long time before choking out a pale sentence: "...are you safe all the way?"

The other side of Muxi Mountain became quiet, Jiang Qi was about to say something to resolve the embarrassment, when another voice came out: 【I'm safe, you keep calling just to ask this? 】

Jiang Qi "hmm" for a moment, and immediately said: [If you have nothing to do, don't take up the public resources of our base. There are not as many phones in the s base as your base, and they are so idle. ] After speaking, the phone hung up.

Jiang Qi listened to Didi's busy tone, and became silent... The secretaries didn't dare to speak loudly.

On the second day, Jiang Qi was different from the restlessness of the first day. He looked very tired, and the number of times he rubbed his brows continued to soar. Before falling asleep, he still couldn't help calling the S base.

Mu Xishan, who was woken up from the bed, said with a headache: [... If you have nothing to say, then I just want to say one word to you: good night. ] Then hang up the phone again.

On the third day, when Jiang Qi woke up from the nightmare of Mu Xishan being injured.Xia Zhizhu, who came to pick him up, looked at the blue shadow in front of Jiang Qi's eyes, and persuaded worriedly: "City Lord, you should see a doctor."

After Jiang Qi finished his day's work, accompanied by Dean Lu, he sat in front of a psychiatrist.

Listening to Jiang Qi's description of his increasingly anxious state these days, the doctor frowned with a headache, "Actually, I heard about your behavior in the conference room that day, and I had a premonition that you would come to me."

"How to say?" Jiang Qi clasped his hands, and soothing music played in the room, but his emotions still could not be relieved.

"You dreamed that the Mucheng Lord was hurt and woke up. You felt anxious because you were separated from him, and you worried about his safety. You have to confirm it yourself through your eyes and ears to be at ease for a short time. Constantly condemning yourself, unable to forgive yourself. And the experience of the Mucheng Lord has become a shadow in your heart. You can't bear it, and even fear that he will be hurt again... and the root cause of all this is just because—"

The doctor paused, and slowly said: "You are in love with him."

Jiang Qi froze all over, and said seriously and hesitantly, "...what did you say?" Then Jiang Qi tore off his collar, feeling that what he heard was too absurd.

The doctor persuaded in a gentle tone: "You haven't experienced feelings so far, so you are so out of order. You can try to accept him. Love is a good medicine, which can make life better."

"No no! You are wrong." Jiang Qi shook his head and said: "I don't think I will fall in love with him... You don't even know whether he is a good medicine for me, but a deadly poison. I just want to know how Let me stop doing such stupid things! Let my hands not keep dialing his number and my ears not sleep restlessly because I don't hear his voice."

The doctor sighed, "Although I don't know what barriers still exist between you and him, I hope you understand that love can make people stupid because emotion overcomes reason. No matter how you deny it, your body has already taken the lead. Make a decision. If you're not sure, you just have to think about whether it's your life you're trying to save, or his, when you and his are in danger at the same time...the answer will be clear."

A long silence followed.

"...I see." Jiang Qi spit out such a sentence, thanked the doctor for his guidance, bid farewell to Dean Lu, and left the room.

sunset.

When Jiang Qi walked out of the hospital, the street was stained by the rays of the sun, and his blond hair was reflected reddish, like thin blood.Jiang Qi returned to the city lord's mansion by car, saw the blurred shadow of his own blue eyes from the window glass, and then thought of Mu Xishan's slightly blue eyes, he closed his eyes and lay on the back of the chair... Now that he was walking On the cliff, the facts cannot be changed, and he does not intend to escape.

When the car arrived, Jiang Qi got out of the car, and the shadow followed closely while walking.He suddenly stopped, squatted down slowly to touch the shadow, and whispered in a barely audible voice:

"Since we all want him... why don't we fight for it with our lives." Jiang Qi grew up fighting for power and profit. He would avoid trouble and kill danger, but he was never afraid of competition.

The maid didn't show any surprise to Jiang Qi's behavior, and when Jiang Qi stood up again, she asked, "Would you like to eat first, or change first?"

Jiang Qi turned around and walked towards the telephone room, "Call S base first." All the maids who heard it showed expressions that were normal.
