Chapter 189 Why Not

For two consecutive days, Cui Hengyue could only catch one move from Mu Feng.

She was a little frustrated and did not practice the formation. She stood on the edge of the cliff alone and wanted to blow in the wind to calm down, but found that there was no wind at all.

"well......"

Cui Hengyue couldn't help but sigh.

"Little girl, why are you sighing?"

A deep male voice sounded from behind. Cui Hengyue turned around and saw that it was Mu Huo. She couldn't help but be surprised: "General, why are you here?"

"I'm out of seclusion."

Mu Huo replied lightly, stood beside Cui Hengyue, and looked down the cliff: "Little girl, do you want to jump off the cliff again?"

Who wants to jump off a cliff?

She's just here to blow some air.

Cui Hengyue glared at him: "I don't want to die."

Hearing this, Mu Huo smiled lightly and said: "That's right, it's just that I lost a few battles. There is no need to seek death."

Cui Hengyue withdrew her gaze and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, not wanting to pay attention to him.

The last thing she wants to see now is the people in the North Hall.

Mu Huo also looked at the mountain peak ahead and admired it quietly for a while. Then he suddenly said, "Do you want Mu Shui to prepare a palace feast for you?"

Hearing the words "palace feast", Cui Hengyue was very yearning for it, and also very irritable at the same time.

With her current martial arts skills, let alone a palace banquet, she might not even be able to eat thirty meals, let alone go down the mountain.

"So what? Are you here to laugh at me?" Cui Hengyue was in a irritable mood and her tone of voice was not very good.

Mu Huo didn't care much and smiled slightly: "No, I want to eat it too."

Cui Hengyue was stunned.

He wants to eat too, what does he mean?

Could it be...

As soon as the thought came up, Mu Huo said: "How about I help you?"

Indeed it is.

Cui Hengyue didn't believe that such a good thing could happen. People in Beidian would never help her without any reason. They all had their own selfish motives.

"What conditions do you have?" Cui Hengyue asked bluntly.

The smile on Mu Huo's face grew stronger, and his tone was gentle: "I will help you win the palace banquet. All you need to do is invite me to eat with you."

"That's it?" Cui Hengyue didn't quite believe it. Although she thought Mu Shui's hundred-course meal was enough to tempt people, this person did not include Mu Huo.

"Yes, that's it." Mu Huo smiled and nodded.

Cui Hengyue suddenly thought of a question: "Commander Mu Feng said that only the winner of the competition can enjoy the prize, and no one else can enjoy it."

She originally wanted to bring Qionghua and Lin Jiang to eat, but once this rule came out, she didn't even have to think about it, and even thinking about it was in vain.

Mu Huo's expression did not change, and his tone was still so gentle: "I will tell the master when the time comes, and the master will agree."

At the end, he added: "Call Lin Jiang and Qionghua over when the time comes, and we will eat together."

Cui Hengyue's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to ask "Is it okay?", he saw Mu Huo turn around and walk towards Bodhi Pavilion.

After taking two steps, he waved his hand behind him: "Little girl, it's time to practice."

Cui Hengyue was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

Therefore, Cui Hengyue spent the next days learning martial arts, practicing formations, and competing in martial arts.

With the guidance of Mu Huo, Mu Yun, and Xie Yu, Cui Hengyue's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and he was able to take on more and more of Mu Feng's moves.

Five moves, ten moves, fifteen moves, twenty moves...

There are more and more meals, but after more than five meals, the plates become smaller and smaller, and the portions become smaller and smaller. The only good thing is that the meals are still different every time.

Cui Hengyue had a great feast and worked even harder in the competitions in the South Hall, winning two or three times in ten days.

----------

In the blink of an eye, it has entered early autumn.

On this day, Cui Hengyue went to Bodhi Pavilion to learn martial arts from Mu Huo as usual, while Song Zhuoxing, Su Biwen and others gathered in the side hall of Wenshu Pavilion to practice formations.

After practicing for half an hour, Song Zhuoxing left the side hall of Wenshu Pavilion on the excuse of changing his clothes.

He quietly avoided the guards and came to Lin Jiang's room. When he was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of things falling from inside the room, and then Qionghua's voice came.

His hands suddenly froze in mid-air.

Just when he was hesitating whether to come back later, the person inside suddenly mentioned Cui Hengyue, and he immediately pricked up his ears and listened to the voice inside.

"...This thing is too big. Yueyue can't take it away, so it's better to destroy it." This was Lin Jiang's voice.

Qionghua reluctantly looked at the things in Lin Jiang's hands and finally nodded.

So, Lin Jiang threw the things in his hands into the stove.

The stove made a "beep, beep, beep" sound, and the fire became more and more intense.

Qionghua withdrew her gaze, her expression full of reluctance: "Burn it, it's better than leaving it here to be ruined by others.

"Yueyue is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jingguo. When she returns to the Duke of Jingguo, she will have a lot of good things.

"If I remarry His Majesty and become the Queen, I will have whatever I want..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the room: "No, Yueyue cannot marry the current His Majesty."

Qionghua was so frightened by Lin Jiang's roar that her body bounced, and she asked calmly: "Why not?

"Your Majesty is only one day younger than Yue Yue, and he is the grandson of Duke Jingguo. If Yue Yue marries her, with the two big trees of the royal family and Duke Jingguo's palace behind him, no one will dare to look down on Yue Yue in the future.

."

The cousin who is one day older will marry his cousin, and the marriage will strengthen the Cui family's status as the number one family. Duke Jingguo will definitely not object.

This matter will be beneficial to the Duke of Jingguo, Yueyue, and even the emperor.

Lin Jiang understood this, but there was a voice in his heart shouting: "No, Yueyue cannot marry the current emperor, cannot marry..."

But, why not?

When Lin Jiang was thinking about this problem, his head hurt like needles. The pain made him fall to the ground holding his head, wailing.

"Lin Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lin Jiang's painful look, Qionghua came to him in a panic and tried to help him up, but was pushed away.

"Ah - it hurts -"

Lin Jiang was rolling on the ground in pain, while Qionghua was kneeling aside, but she could do nothing.

Song Zhuoxing wanted to open the door and go in to save people, but he heard Qionghua shout: "Lin Jiang, don't think about it anymore, I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore..."

He paused again.

Runzhu once told him that Lin Jiang was injured five years ago. He couldn't remember some things in the past, and his head hurt when he thought about it, just like now.

But if he doesn't think about the forgotten things, his head won't hurt.

Sure enough, the wailing sound disappeared, and only Qionghua's constant comforting voice was heard.

"Okay, I don't want to anymore." Qionghua held Lin Jiang's right hand and whispered softly: "I know you must be worried that the Duke of Jingguo has abandoned Yue Yue for fifteen years and will not let Yue Yue marry the current His Majesty.

"That's right, there are so many young ladies in Duke Jingguo's palace, how could such a good thing happen to Yueyue? I am delusional..."

Lin Jiang didn't think about the problem just now. His headache was relieved a lot. Hearing Qionghua's gentle voice again, the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.

But when he heard the next words, he couldn't help but interrupt Qionghua: "This is not a good thing."

"Yes, yes, it's not a good thing." Qionghua agreed warmly, hoping that he would no longer have a headache.
