C571 Baijingshan (2/2)
She kept feeling that this Lady Lian-er was a bit strange, but if she were to speak in detail, she would not be able to explain herself.
Perhaps, it was like drinking water, cold and self-aware. Mu Ru Yue thought coldly.
”Princess, if you go any further you will enter the mountain. The road in the mountain forbids carriages and will be said to be disrespectful to the temple.” The carriage driver's respectful voice sounded from outside, breaking the awkward silence within the carriage.
At the side, Ling Xi, who had acted as though she didn't exist, heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that if the discussion continued, her wangfei would definitely quarrel with this Young Master Sang Qing.
However, she was overthinking things. It didn't matter if Mu Ru Yue was calm or collected; both of them were the type that didn't care. Even if they talked a bit more, they wouldn't be so quarrelsome.
This was one of the reasons why the two of them were able to work together.
Mu Ru Yue was the first to alight from the carriage. When she alighted from the carriage, what entered Mu Ru Yue's sight was a decorated building. There was an ancient character written on the building, which gave it a sense of charm.
On both sides of the stone pillars of the archway, there were carvings of dragons and phoenixes, and even stone lions. Within fifty meters or so of the memorial archway was the foot of the mountain.
Mu Ru Yue instructed the carriage driver to wait here before entering the inn together with Chen Qingling.
At the foot of the mountain, Murong Yue looked at Ling Xi and asked, ”Did those people say where they were at White Deer Mountain?” Mu Ru Yue asked. Ling Xi shook her head and took out fireworks, ”Those people still requested for fireworks before they would give us the exact address.”
”You're quite careful.” Murong Yue raised her brows, indicating that Ling Xi should start lighting up the fireworks.
Naturally, Ling Xi would not hesitate. After all, this was her grandfather who wanted to save her. After quickly lighting up the fireworks, they were different from before. They were purple in color. Under the somewhat dark sky, it was exceptionally beautiful.
Chen Qing looked at the fireworks and was almost certain who it was. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any conflict between them. Thinking this way, Chen Qing said to Mu Ru Yue, ”Royal Concubine, the fireworks have already been ignited. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the other party arrives. If I continue to stay here, it will affect the trade between you two.
After that, I will stand in the shadows and watch, and I will also conveniently protect the hostages that you have to protect. ”
”Sorry for the trouble.” Mu Ru Yue asked.
Chen Qing couldn't help but smile. ”This is a transaction between you and me, where is the trouble coming from?” After he finished speaking, he leapt up and entered the mountain before Mu Rong Yue, gradually disappearing from her sight.
On the side, Ling Xi looked at Mu Ru Yue and waited for her to give the order.
After spending so much time with her, Ling Xi had long since trusted Murong Yue. Other than certain things that she didn't want to talk about, she didn't hold anything back against Mu Ru Yue. At times of danger, she naturally trusted Mu Ru Yue even more.
”Chen Qing is here, he'll be fine, so relax a bit. I told you what I said in the carriage. When people are in a state of confusion, they don't even have brains.
”If you come to a place like this without a brain, what's the difference between that and courting death?”
Mu Ru Yue looked at Ling Xi as she lectured.
Ling Xi felt her heart thump. Gradually, the intersection in her eyes disappeared, and was replaced with a clear and bright expression. She bowed towards Murong Yue and said, ”Thank you for your teachings, Ling Xi understands.”
”Do you and I still need to be like this? Furthermore, I am not teaching you, I am merely reminding you. ” Mu Ru Yue said helplessly.
Even so, Ling Xi was still very grateful towards Murong Yue in her heart. As the saying goes, care makes mess. These days, because of Uncle Zhang's matter, she hadn't been able to sleep well even if she couldn't eat well.
His heart was filled with endless chaos. Once he laid down, his dreams were filled with memories of what would happen if he failed. If not for this, she would not have played chess with Qingzhu gongzi and would not have slept for the rest of the night.
The young master also didn't refuse, as if he knew that her heart was in chaos. Regarding this, Ling Xi was extremely grateful in her heart. Of course, if she didn't completely lose, then that would be even better.
Mu Ru Yue and Ling Xi were waiting for the person at the bottom to give them the address so they could head to the trading area. However, this time around, it was much slower than before.
The two of them waited for an hour, but there was no one around. Mu Rong Yue felt that she was about to run out of patience.
To one side, Ling Xi also furrowed her brows, ”Esteemed wangfei, don't tell me those people went back on their word? ”If I go back on my word …”
