In a blink of an eye, autumn passed and winter came, and the palace was covered with a layer of silver.

Although beautiful, Mu Yong tried his best to run out now, not wanting to stay in the palace.Now he is wearing a brand new dark silk padded coat, sitting in the VIP room of Lingcao Pavilion, tapping the table with his fingertips, asking the price of the pill.Demon planting is more widely used in the folk, but the varieties that can be bought on the market are still mainly for daily life, just like face powder for women, simple ointment for pain relief and anti-inflammation, and even magic products for strengthening yang can be easily found.But hearing that Mu Yong was interested in real pills like Huiyuan Pill, the clerk immediately invited him to the cubicle on the second floor.

"My lord, this is the Gathering Pill, which can increase the output of spiritual power for a short time. However, the more powerful one is this, the Golden Sudden Pill. It can also be used by adults to increase the output of spiritual power, but it is mainly for children who cannot measure spiritual power. Eat it, it may improve your talent." The store enthusiastically recommended various elixirs, and when it came to children, he even took a pleasing glance at Xu Tian who was beside Mu Yong.

Mu Yong was unmoved, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you have any poisonous elixir?"

The shopkeeper shook his head in embarrassment, "This small shop doesn't exist."

"It's okay, a pill of gathering spirit."

"Okay, okay..." The shopkeeper packed Mu Yong's bag with a smile, invited Mu Yong to drink tea slowly, and went to greet others.

Xu Tian's heart itch by Mu Yong's side was unbearable, not to mention the new products she likes downstairs, and these pills were something she had never seen before.Mu Yong's shots became more and more generous, but Xu Tian felt more and more that he didn't spend money on her. What the shopkeeper said made her wish she was Mu Yong's wife now, so that she could have a good time.She tried her best to suppress her thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "What does Brother Mu Yong want poison for?"

Mu Yong raised his hand, and on his arm was the human device he bought in the dark market.Although he felt a little nervous at the beginning, he bought everything, and Mu Yong finally studied it carefully.This bone vessel is of the earth attribute, probably because humans do not only have fixed innate skills like monsters. Human artifacts are not only closer to human spiritual power, but also more flexible in terms of moves and usage methods, which is equivalent to a little more out of thin air. Earth talent.The person who was made into a bone tool is probably only moderately talented, but it is enough for Mu Yong. Because his output of spiritual power is not strong, even if he is given the best bone tool, he can't use it much. the power of.But you can't use brute force, but you can use tricks. The best way Mu Yong can think of to use this bone tool is to use it as a hidden weapon, and shoot it to a fatal place when people are not prepared.Of course, it would be more reliable if it was coated with poison.

Naturally, Mu Yong didn't explain all this to Xu Tian, ​​he just lifted the bone vessel, "It's just in case."

Xu Tian couldn't calm down when she saw this bone vessel. "Brother Mu Yong, this, this will cost a lot of money."

Mu Yong looked at Xu Tian with a funny face, he didn't want to stay in the palace during this time, he always ran out, but he raised the girl's appetite, and he couldn't pretend to be a little bird.He deliberately leaned over and said in Xu Tian's ear, "Forty bone coins."

Xu Tian's eyes widened, and her breathing became short of breath, "Brother Mu Yong, why are you spending so much money on a bone vessel. You should rent a house in the city first, so that you can take over the elders in your family to honor them." This is our duty as sons and daughters."

Naturally, Xu Tian didn't know that Mu Yong had already lost his parents. Seeing that Mu Yong just smiled and said nothing, Xu Tian frowned and said, "To tell the truth, Brother Mu Yong, Ge Fei is still pestering me, and he knows where I live now. , often blocked me, insisted on giving me things, and said that he would propose marriage to my family. I was afraid that Brother Mu Yong would be worried, so I didn't tell you, but the sisters who lived with me said I was stupid. They didn't believe that Brother Mu Yong treated me Yes, I still think I should marry Ge Fei. I was supposed to keep and return the things Ge Fei gave to him, but they took them for use. Brother Mu Yong, you have sweetness in your heart, yes No, Tian'er feels a lot of pressure, she's crying for Mu Yong where Mu Yong can't see."

Mu Yong watched Tian'er lower her head as if she was going to wipe her tears, but she didn't see any tears.He knew that the trick Xu Tian had been playing was to hang on to one and not to give up on that, so he didn't feel guilty about finding her to accompany him for entertainment.Unexpectedly, she blamed herself for being dishonest.Mu Yong stood up, "It was my fault to make Tian'er sad. Come on, let's go downstairs and have a look, and I will apologize to Tian'er."

Tian'er was a little embarrassed for a while, such a blundering apology made her feel that Mu Yong didn't take notice of her at all, but after all, the desire for new products overcame the slight awkwardness, Xu Tian nodded obediently, revealing A smile.Downstairs, Mu Yong stood there, followed Xu Tian to look left and pick, waited for a long time, and finally acted as a purse, bought a lot of things for Xu Tian, ​​and when Xu Tian was finally satisfied, Mu Yong asked casually, " I'm going to meet a friend next, do you want to go with Tian'er?"

"Of course Tian'er doesn't want to be separated from Brother Mu Yong." Xu Tian enthusiastically took Mu Yong's wrist.

Mu Yong nodded indifferently, and went to call a carriage.The two of them soon arrived at a beautifully decorated restaurant.Xu Tian has never been here before, but she knew that the decoration is expensive. She was very happy when she walked in, but after sitting down in an accordion, she realized that something was wrong. There was a woman playing the piano and dancing on the table. Although the diners below were basic They are all men, but there are many women in the Accord toasting and laughing with the men.Xu Tian realized that this might not be a high-end brothel, and her face immediately turned ugly.Before she had an attack, Mu Yong had already stood up and greeted Pei Hou who arrived later, "Brother Pei..."

"Brother Mu!" Pei Hou walked in enthusiastically, glanced at Xu Tian, ​​a little surprised, "Brother Mu also brought a female companion."

"Eating wine, you only need warm, fragrant and soft jade to be happy. Brother Pei, don't be restrained." Mu Yong said nonchalantly.

Pei Hou seemed to understand what Mu Yong meant.He also sat down, ordered some wine, and invited a familiar girl to accompany him by name.Not long after, two beautiful girls in light gauze came with drinks and snacks.When one of them saw Mu Yong, his eyes lit up and he took the initiative to walk towards him, and wanted to sit between Xu Tian and Mu Yong.

"Brother Mu Yong! What do you mean by that?" Xu Tian couldn't bear it any longer, pointing at the dancer who forced her way over, she almost cursed. "Are you comparing Sweetie to these sluts?"

Mu Yong glanced at her. "I'm here to have a drink with Brother Pei. Tian'er can stay if she wants, and leave if she wants."

That dancing girl is still young, but she has a serious temper.Mu Yong is good-looking, and he is generous in his shots. He would be a fool if he didn't grab him.She saw that Mu Yong didn't care about this woman, and she had no scruples, "Hmph, where did you come from! Don't fight brother Yong with me."

"Who are you calling ugly!" Xu Tian was very angry.But her proud appearance in the Culinary Academy is really nothing in this high-end restaurant.Coupled with the attractive outfits of these dancers, she seemed to be underestimated.

"Isn't it you? Last time, brother Yong praised me for holding my waist so thin, and my skin is fat! Is it brother Yong?"

"Yes, and today I would like to praise you for being outspoken, lively and cute." Mu Yong smiled, and pulled the girl into his arms, "Come, drink with me. I am happy after drinking, and I am still the same as last time Reward you."

The girl cheered unabashedly, and leaned on Mu Yong.

Xu Tian still doesn't understand, Mu Yong is accusing Sang and scolding Huai, saying that she is artificial!Co-authoring her hard work for so many months has been treated as a drama!Xu Tian couldn't sit still anymore, got up and ran out, but she didn't forget to bring the things Mu Yong bought for her before.

"I have dealt with some personal matters, brother Pei laughed at me." Mu Yong poured wine for Pei Hou.

"It's okay..." Pei Hou was also holding a beautiful woman in his arms, listening to the music played on the stage comfortably, chatting nonchalantly, "How did that woman offend Brother Mu?"

"That's not worth mentioning." Mu Yong hugged the dancing girl beside him, and thought of his mother again, his expression was a little pale, "It's just spending money for fun, isn't it just a way to come and go when you call it? It's just a plaything... ..."

"Brother Mu is right. But when it comes to making fun, there are still young ladies who can recite poems and paint pictures in this building. Brother Pei thinks it's quite interesting. Is Brother Mu interested?" Pei Hou said.

The little waiter is the man who accompanies the wine.

Mu Yong raised his eyes to look at Pei Hou, and he also had his own thoughts in his heart.The last time Mu Yong tentatively revealed his interest in women, Pei Hou changed the meeting place from the fighting arena to here.It's unreasonable to get along well.But even though he suspected that Pei Hou was sent by someone else, he didn't avoid him. Instead, he took precautions and got a lot of benefits from him.

Knowing that Pei Hou was actually testing his attitude, Mu Yong frowned deliberately, "The man is so hard, what's the point?"

"Haha. Brother Mu doesn't know something. This man is fine too." Pei Hou whispered a few profane words into Mu Yong's ear while secretly observing Mu Yong's face.However, there was neither disgust nor anger on Mu Yong's face, but he said it calmly. "I didn't expect Brother Pei to have such an interest. I really didn't see it."

Pei Hou could only laugh a few times in embarrassment. "Brother Mu is not interested and it's fine, and you can't force it."

After drinking for a while, Pei Hou said again, "Brother Mu, do you plan to enter the Bone Tool Academy in the spring?"

"Exactly..."

"I heard that many places are not peaceful this winter, and there are many monsters hurting people, far more than usual. There may be animal disasters next spring."

Hearing what he said, Mu Yong looked serious. "It's not that animal disasters haven't happened for many years."

"Yes, but you don't have to worry too much, Brother Mu. It shouldn't affect the imperial capital. After all, the royal family is in charge."

"The royal family is really not worried, they are still holding the Silver Moon Banquet."

The Silver Moon Banquet is a social banquet routinely organized by the younger generation in the Winter Palace. It is not too formal, and the common people have no way of knowing about it.Sure enough, Pei Hou asked a few questions with interest, praised Mu Yong for being well-informed, and did not show any surprise or disbelief at his remarks.Mu Yong was even more sure that Pei Hou knew his details a long time ago, so he didn't change his face.

When Mu Yong returned to the palace, it was getting late again.Because the snow was difficult to walk on, Mu Yong stuffed some wine money for the imperial soldier at the door, and let the carriage he called at will drive in. It seemed that the driver had received such a job for the first time, and he couldn't help but look left and then Look, it's not good to be respectful to Mu Yong.

It was supposed to stop at the side door for servants, but Mu Yong saw Xue Qi in the snow with sharp eyes.The silly prince stood alone in front of the gate, his body covered with snowflakes.Mu Yong frowned, and had no choice but to tell the coachman to drive forward, until the coachman trembled and said it was not good.

Fortunately, Xue Qi had already seen Mu Yong. The man who was like a sculpture suddenly became angry, with a slight smile on his face, he ran to the carriage in a few steps, and jumped onto the carriage door before the horse stopped, holding his hand Holding the upper edge of the carriage, stepping on the lower edge of the carriage, looking at Mu Yong happily, the coachman was shocked, and hurriedly stopped the horse.

Xue Qi took out something from his bosom and wanted to show it to Mu Yong with a smile on his face.At this time, the car door was opened by Mu Yong, and it hit Xue Qi's hand directly, knocking out the things he was holding.Mu Yong didn't even look at him, he walked out by himself and paid the driver who didn't dare to show his air.

The smile on Xue Qi's face disappeared instantly.The thing in his hand fell into the snow. It was a wooden sculpture.The sculpture is exactly what Mu Yong looks like, looking at him and smiling.

It's a pity that the real Mu Yong was standing beside him, but he never looked at him.The smile on the wood carving became ironic.Xue Qi raised his foot, jumped off the edge of the car, buried the wooden sculpture in the snow, and didn't want to look at it any more.At this time, he realized belatedly that Mu Yong asked him to play with these woods not to do some activities with him, but to send him away.

The last light of the sun also disappeared into the sky, and the shadow of the carriage stretched, covering Xue Qi's face.

"Remember to go back the same way." Mu Yong told the obedient coachman, and then glanced at Xue Qi, not seeing the wood carving at all, and said impatiently. "I told you not to come out and wait."

Xue Qi stood there without speaking. Mu Yong didn't see his expression clearly for a while, but he didn't want to look closely, so he looked away on his own.

Whether it's friends or women, Mu Yong doesn't care about other people's hypocrisy, nor is he afraid of their smiles. He can face other people's malice and selfishness with ease, but he is afraid of Xue Qi's sincerity.He had never seen this thing since he was a child, and even though he knew it was good, he could only feel at a loss.Moreover, he can give away swords and guns in full, and gold, silver and jewelry are also belongings outside the body, but if he takes a heart, he can only be ashamed of himself, and Mu Yong is afraid that he will not be able to return something of equivalent value. .Mu Yong tried hard not to think about when was the last time it snowed today, and how long the idiot had been waiting for him. He suppressed all his thoughts and only said to Xue Qi. "Let's go, go back to Nuan Nuan."

Xue Qi still didn't move. When Mu Yong turned his head this time, although he couldn't see Xue Qi's face clearly, he could clearly feel that Xue Qi was staring at him. His gaze was vaguely like a starving wolf, looking greedily. Hungry again.

Mu Yong knew that he had been hiding from Xue Qi. Since he didn't want to have too much affection for this silly prince, he was naturally afraid that this silly prince would have too much affection for him. Unfortunately, after hiding for a few months, this fool's obsession with him was not enough. The increase instead of decrease made Mu Yong more uneasy that was beyond his control.

"Are you going back..." Mu Yong's guilt turned into annoyance, and he said impatiently that he wanted to say no to going back, but he saw Wei An in the distance out of the corner of his eyes in time.Mu Yong had no choice but to change his attitude immediately, grabbed Xue Qi's hand, and coaxed guiltily, "Your Highness is freezing, come back with me to warm up." The fool's hand is indeed very cold, and it seems that he was angry when Mu Yong grabbed it. He drew back, but with Xue Qi's usual strength, it was really not worth mentioning that he refused this time.

"You see your hands are so cold..." Mu Yong warmed Xue Qi's hands, flicked the snow off his shoulders, and pulled him back.But Xue Qi hugged him tightly, because Mu Yong was already wearing a lot of clothes in winter, so Mu Yong had difficulty breathing.Afraid that Wei An would watch, Mu Yong coaxed helplessly for a while, and then led Xue Qi to the gate of the palace. At this time, Wei An came out to welcome him, and Mu Yong bowed to him, "Your Excellency Wei An..."

"Your Highness insisted on standing here for a long time, please give Your Highness a hot bath." Wei An looked at Mu Yong coldly, his dissatisfaction was obvious.

Mu Yong understood that Wei An might not be able to persuade Xue Qi to go back even if he tried to find a way, so he watched the prince wait for him to be his servant for a long time.Mu Yong was naturally guilty, and hurriedly responded. Just as he was about to explain a few more words, Wei An continued. "Don't go out these few days."

"Yes……"

"You and His Highness Qi will attend the Silver Moon Banquet in a few days."

Mu Yong raised his head in surprise when he heard this.He understood that what Wei An wanted him to go actually meant Xue Qi to go.Mu Yong learned about this silver moon banquet by listening to the gossip of other servants. He guessed that it was a social banquet held by the royal family for the younger generation because they were bored in winter.Aristocrats like to enjoy, and there are actually quite a few such banquets. Xue Qi has never participated in them before, but he did not expect to be nominated to go this time.

"This is what the princess means." Wei Anduo said something, and then urged Mu Yong to bring His Royal Highness Qi back to the room.

Mu Yong complied, pulling Xue Qi back, feeling the strength of the hands holding him back, Mu Yong raised his eyes to look at Xue Qi, secretly worried, this fool will ignore everyone at that time, and he will never blame him. Come on him.
