Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Under the canopy that protects the city, the sun is no longer dazzling.

In a small courtyard in a bamboo forest, two handsome young men sat facing each other and played chess, with black and white chess pieces already covering the chess board.

Si Zijing's face was soft, with a teasing smile:

"Xiao Qingzi, it looks like you lost again."

Mu Qing raised her eyes in silence, her tone a little helpless:

"You have enough time in Gyeonggi to delve into these heresy."

Si Zijing raised the corners of his lips and said proudly after reading the chaotic reply:

"Ah? How do you know that I can often play chess with Mr. Xiangguo?"

"."

Mu Qing was silent for a while, but on the surface she rolled her eyes as if nothing was wrong:

"Hey, who asked you?"

Si Zijing shrugged, with a smile in his eyes:

"When we were in Honglinyuan, every time you met Xiangguo, you could show off to the rest of us for half a month, but you forgot about it so quickly?"

Honglin Academy is as famous as the Hanlin Academy for cultivating talents, and it belongs exclusively to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mu Qing was silent for a while after hearing this, then smiled and shook her head:

"It's been so many years and I'm still mentioning it."

"I can't help it, I'm a nostalgic person."

"That's almost it."

"You can't come to me just to reminisce about old times, right? What's the business?"

"Why can't we reminisce about the past? At the same time, we were the only two who could talk about it as equals. It's not too late to talk about personal matters first, and then talk about business."

"What do you say."

"."

Si Zijing could only sigh softly when he saw this, and then his expression became solemn:

"Master Xiangguo and Master Lou Ji trust you very much, and you should not betray their trust."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qing's mind went blank, but fortunately, his long-term habits made him develop the ability to keep his emotions and anger indistinct, and he replied slowly:

"Is this a private matter or a business matter?"

Si Zijing snorted and said with a smile:

"Of course it's a private matter. If it's official business, it won't be me. The New Year's Eve banquet, I don't think anything about the file. Only after this trip comes to your place will I know what kind of bad behavior it has become."

Mu Qing was silent for a while and hummed:

"A small place is not as good as your capital city, and all supplies are scarce. What can we do?"

Si Zijing did not respond to these words, but stared at the other party and said word by word:

"Mu Qing, if you continue like this, Director Lou and Xiang Guo may really give up on you."

"It doesn't matter whether you give up or not, it's fine for Mu to stay in this small place in the border area."

"You don't have to be weird."

Si Zijing said in a slow and thoughtful voice: "What happened back then was indeed not your fault. But as you are, you should know that when you sit in the position of Prime Minister, you often cannot judge right from wrong based on facts."

"So you, Mr. Jing, came here to lecture me?"

"I just don't want to see the former chief of Honglinyuan reduced to this."

"."

"."

". Let's get down to business first."

"good."

Si Zijing stared at the former close friend in front of him, nodded, and said solemnly:

"You also know that I don't like nonsense when it comes to business, so I'll make a long story short. I'm here for one thing only. The sect is planning to overthrow the Zhenxi Mansion. Now a certain adult has come here in person. I need you to mobilize the Black Scale Guards in the west. All of Zezhou’s source crystals and war material reserves.”

Mu Qing was silent for a while after hearing this, then threw a token from the Sumeru Ring:

"Purple Sandalwood Road, shop No. 7, code A, code: Houerjiu."

"good."

Si Zijing stood up without saluting, waved his hands casually, turned around and said:

"Now that the city defense formation has been set up, a war may break out at any time. I'll go get my things first, and you should also prepare. I'll see you at the government office in an hour."

As soon as the words fell, Si Zijing's figure disappeared instantly, leaving Mu Qing alone in the bamboo forest.

After staring at the intertwined chess game in front of her for a few breaths, Mu Qing slowly stood up and walked slowly out of the courtyard.

But after taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced back at the chessboard again, with a sigh in his dark eyes.

After his figure disappeared in the corner of the courtyard, a breeze blew, and the chessboard in the pavilion shattered into powder and scattered with the wind.

"."

"."

Watching this scene from a distance of a hundred feet away, Si Zijing sighed softly, glanced down at the imprint on Mu Qing's palm that he had secretly left during the conversation, and murmured in a low voice:

"Sure enough, there are other things hidden. The Prime Minister's transfer of your boy to Xizezhou is not a test. You have chosen the wrong path. Don't blame me, brother, on your way to hell."

When Li Junwu arrived at Xuanting Military Camp, to her surprise, Lu Baizou had been waiting here for a long time, as if he had anticipated her arrival.

What was even more beyond her expectation was that beside Lu Baizou stood a group of senior generals whom she had just seen in the government office, including even the veteran general named Jin who had been appointed as a loyal minister.

Turning over and dismounting, Li Junwu clenched his fists hidden under his brown armor slightly and glanced at the generals at the entrance of the military camp:

"I remember that the princess has just arranged the city defense affairs. Why are you gathered here?"

The cold voice spread and reached the ears of everyone present, but no one spoke.

in silence,

Lu Baizou took a step forward, bowed his hands to Li Junwu, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, there are many people on the street, so please go into the camp first."

"."

Seeing this scene, Li Junwu didn't understand what happened. She didn't understand why the generals who had just gathered stood on Lu Bozou's side as if they were drugged.

His mind was working rapidly. Li Junwu frowned, glanced at the people present, and took the lead in entering the barracks gate. After he entered, the generals followed him in.

Surrounded by the generals, or under their surveillance, the group walked through several courtyards, turned a corner, and stepped into the military camp. Li Junwu suddenly stopped subconsciously.

She saw thousands of armored soldiers standing in this parade ground, wearing heavy armor, holding sharp blades, and murderous.

Lu Bozou took a step forward and motioned Li Junwu to go to the Suwu platform. As more than ten people came on stage, more than ten thousand soldiers followed.

After a moment of silence, Li Junwu said coldly:

"Commander Lu, can you tell me why you brought me here to practice?"

Lu Bozou looked around at the more than 10,000 Zhenxi elite soldiers below and said loudly:

"My Lady Princess, I have three questions.

"Before you disappeared, you reported to the Marquis that you had captured the Desert Goddess alive. Today you have returned to the city. May I ask where the Desert Goddess is now?"

As he said,

he did not wait for Li Junwu to reply, and spoke again:

"When the city was opened today, a soldier saw a woman bringing a wolf-shaped monster into the city. It was suspected to be the Desert Wolf. May I ask where the monster wolf is now?"

"My Lady Princess said that the saint would attack the city. May I ask where your news came from? Is it what the Desert Demon Girl said!"

"For the above three questions, I sincerely ask my Lady Princess to answer the thousands of soldiers of the Zhenxi Army!

"I beg you, my lord, to mobilize thousands of soldiers to search the city!"
