Chapter 32

Jiangling Dragon City is also called the Dragon Palace by the Jianghu people, so the city is built on the Dragon Lake, and the Dragon Lake is connected by nine lakes that occupy a large area and look like a coiling dragon.There are large and small pavilions and pavilions scattered on the wide lake. Because of the different depths of the lake, some courtyards and towers are built on the protruding land, and some are built directly on the rippling lake. The most magnificent one is It belongs to the Nine Dragon Hall in the deepest part of Dragon Lake.

At this time, an empty and far-reaching gaze was looking at the palace in the distance. The owner of the gaze was dressed in black and had an unparalleled appearance. His knee-length hair was gently lifted by the cold wind blowing in from the window.

"Master."

A young, tall and handsome young man walked towards him, holding a hideous mask in his hand.

The man in black heard the call but remained motionless, like a living statue.

The young man didn't care, he just gently covered him with the mask on his hand, and then took his cold body into his arms.

"Master, does that man named Long Zhan live there?"

The expected silence, the young man didn't take it seriously, and continued on his own.

"Master, it's already the third day, and there is still no news about Long Zhan. I want to find him, can you come with me?"

The man in black remained silent. It felt like he had returned to the Sleepless Mountain. Since he came to this dragon city, he had never spoken again.

"Bang bang—" there was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and the visitor was a little surprised.

"Brother Xi."

"Brother Mo?" Xi Cang was taken aback for a moment, "Why are you here?"

The visitor was dressed in commoner clothes, with a handsome face and a green beard. There was a sense of vicissitudes in his expression, a bit like a wild prodigal son, and his words were very generous.

"I heard you were looking for me, and I heard you were here."

"good."

While Xi Cang answered, he glanced casually into the room.

Mo Ruchu saw it in his eyes.

"I also heard that there is a senior brother accompanying you?"

"……good."

"Can I introduce you?"

Xi Cang hesitated, and the master asked himself to find Mo Ruchu, which meant that there must be entanglements between them, but he didn't know what the grievances were. If they were allowed to meet rashly, if they were enemies and not friends, wouldn't the master's safety be in danger? Threatened?

Mo Ruchu saw his embarrassment and smiled boldly.

"If it's inconvenient, that's fine."

"Sorry, my senior brother has never liked to make friends with people, he is used to being cold and cold, and he is afraid that he will offend big brother due to lack of etiquette."

"It's okay, you don't have to stick to these details in Jianghu."

It was only then that Xi Cang realized that he had blocked the person from the door, so he turned to invite him into the house.

"How did Brother Mo know that I'm here?"

"It was Long Er Fei Ge who passed the letter to me, and I found out that you have arrived in Jiangling."

"Second Brother Long?" Xi Cang frowned. The relationship between the two was like an enemy or a friend, and it was really unclear for a while. "He hasn't arrived in Jiangling yet?"

"He got stuck on something, so he asked me to take you away."

"Go?" Xi Cang looked at him suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

"He has a Zhuangzi on the mountain south of Jiangling, let me take you there."

Xi Cang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What is the relationship between Brother Long and Long Zhan?"

"They are brothers."

"Then what is the relationship between Brother Mo and Long Zhan?"

Mo Ruchu frowned imperceptibly, "He is my senior brother."

Sure enough, after confirming the answer in his heart, Xi Cang did not feel relaxed, but became dignified.All these people are related to Long Zhan, but so far that person has not shown up. What happened ten years ago?

When Mo Ru saw him pondering for the first time, he said, "Why don't you clean up first, so that you can follow me to Xiaoyaozhuang."

Xiaoyaozhuang?Xi Cang was conflicted for a while, he still had many questions he wanted to ask Long Zhan face to face, but Long Zhan never showed up, should he go with Mo Ruchu first?Their purpose of this trip was to find the person in front of them, but now that they took the initiative to come to them, it seemed that they could only complete the tasks assigned by their master first.And Mo Ruchu is Long Zhan's younger brother, maybe he can find out what happened ten years ago from him.

Having made up his mind, Xi Cang stood up, "Brother Mo, sit down for a while, I'll go and ask my senior brother what he means."

In the back room, Xi Qing was still standing in front of the window, lost in thought.

Xi Cang walked over, pulled his cold hands together in his palms, and let out a soft breath of warm air.

"Master, Mo Ruchu is here, and he asked us to follow him to Xiaoyaozhuang."

Xi Qing finally looked away slowly, her voice was a little hoarse after she hadn't spoken for a few days.

"Let's go then."

Their luggage was lost in that night raid, only some silver taels were left in their arms, so there was nothing to pack.

Mo Ruchu watched Xi Cang pull a man in black with his face out, took a look at him, and nodded slightly.

Xi Qing's eyes didn't fall on him at all, so naturally she wouldn't give him half a response.

Xi Cang had no choice but to cover it up for him, "Senior brother has such a temperament, he treats everyone like this, brother Mo, don't be surprised."

"No problem, please."

Mo Ruchu didn't care, and took the lead out of the room after speaking.

Xi Cang pulled Xi Qing to follow behind him.

When they reached the courtyard gate, they were stopped by guards.

"Step aside."

Mo Ruchu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was very peaceful, but his majestic aura made the guards bow their heads.

"Master Mo, without the order of the city lord, I dare not let these two young masters leave without permission."

"They are my friends, not your city lord's prisoners, why should he make the decision."

"Sorry, I'm just following orders."

Mo Ruchu didn't talk nonsense with them any more, he dealt with them all in twos and twos, but just knocked him out.

Xi Cang didn't say anything, but thought in his heart that Long Zhan's behavior was really domineering, he didn't come to see each other, and he wanted to detain him, if Mo Ruchu hadn't come here this time, he didn't know that they were actually regarded as prisoners by Long Zhan was detained.

Before leaving the village, Dong Yu had already heard the news and rushed over, standing in front of them, with a particularly serious face.

"Hero Mo, what is the meaning of this?"

Mo Ruchu only looked at him indifferently.

"I'm just here to take my friends."

"I only know that they are friends of the second master."

"Long Er just brought them to me."

Dong Yu glanced at master and apprentice Xi Cang.

"The city lord still wants to see them."

"Then let him come to Xiaoyaozhuang."

Dong Yu frowned, still standing in front of the road.

"Hero Mo really insists on taking someone away?"

Mo Ruchu looked at him and Bei Qisu behind him, and smiled faintly.

"You are not my opponent. Even if you have 28 stars, you and I will at most be a tie. I don't want to hurt you. I have to take him away today. If you want to see Long Zhan, let him come to Xiaoyaozhuang by himself."

Dong Yu frowned even more when he heard this, thought about it, and finally let them go.What Mo Ruchu said was right, he was not his opponent, and the city lord actually didn't give any orders to these two people, nor did he say anything about what he saw or didn't see, he only left them here to investigate because he felt that these two people were suspicious .

Kowloon Hall.

A young man with a feather fan towel and the appearance of a scholar is slowly walking into the study. His steps are light, his body is thin, and he looks like a fairy.

In the study room, there is a painting painted on an exquisite red sandalwood screen. The person in the painting is white-clothed and black-haired, with a beautiful face. On the upper left corner of the painting, there are four words "Love Xi He Xi".

In front of the screen was a large agarwood table, behind which sat a man, a man, a man exuding domineering aura.

"City Lord, Dong Yu said that Mo Ruchu took those two suspicious people away."

The scholar is as tall as a fairy, and in front of this man, he only keeps his heart and mind, and respects him very much.

The man put down the file in his hand, and slowly raised his head. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's. A face about 40 years old was as domineering as a knife or a sword. Unquestionable majesty.

"Oh? Let Mo Ruchu come to the door in person? It seems that these two people are not just waiting for nothing."

"City Lord, do you want to bring them back?"

"Where did they go?"

"Xiaoyaozhuang."

"It's not urgent." The man stood up slowly, "Pry open Ge Ming's mouth first, and pull out the master behind him."

"Yes."

The scholar was about to retire when he remembered something again.

"City Lord, Young Master, he...was seriously injured, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Whoever hurts, let him pay back double."

The indifferent attitude made the scholar retreat wisely.

The man turned around slowly again, facing the screen, slowly raised his left hand, his knuckle fingers lightly brushed against the figure in the painting, his originally cold and sharp eyes gradually softened.

"Qing Xi, He Xi?"

Xiaoyaozhuang.

The manor here is Long Er's private residence. Although he and Long Zhan are brothers, they seldom return to Long City, so people in the Jianghu also rumor that the two brothers are at odds, but no one knows why they are at odds.

Long Er was not there, but the manager of the village had already received the news. Seeing that Mo Ruchu and Xi Cang's master and apprentice had arrived, he hurriedly ordered his servants to cleanse them up.Mo Ruchu was a frequent visitor to Xiaoyaozhuang, and Long Er even named the courtyard where he often lived as Huichu Pavilion, and the steward arranged Xi Cang's master and apprentice in the courtyard next to Huichu Pavilion.

After a short rest, the steward came to invite them to the main hall for dinner.

Xi Qing obviously didn't want to go out, and Xi Cang was full of questions to ask Mo Ruchu, but he didn't want to leave him for half a step. In the end, he had to ask the steward to move the lunch to their room, and then invited Mo Ruchu over .

"Sorry, brother is not feeling well, I'm a little worried, so I can only ask Brother Mo to accommodate me."

Mo Ruchu said while pouring wine, "In front of me, Brother Xi doesn't have to stick to these small things. I'm used to being free and easy. Today I finally have the opportunity to drink freely. You and I just have to enjoy ourselves."

"Please." Xi Cang raised his glass.

The two have nothing to do with each other.

Mo Ruchu put down his wine glass, and finally asked, "Long Er said you were looking for me, why?"

Xi Cang thought for a moment, "What's the relationship between Brother Mo and Hua Ruomeng?"

Mo Ruchu picked up the jug and poured himself another glass, "She and I... can only be regarded as half friends."

"Half? Why?"

"Are you here for her?"

"No, it's just that there are some questions I want to clarify."

Mo Ruchu smiled lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

"She used to be Long Zhan's woman, so I met her a few times. Later, she left Long Zhan. I will visit her occasionally when I pass by Suzhou."
