resentful, but uneasy

It was only one hour away, but Chu Xuan walked so fast that he had already left Qiqi and the others far behind in just one hour.

When Qiqi arrived at Lingdukou, the brothers here heard news that King Xuan had already left half a day ago.

Why can they go so fast?

Qiqi was anxious, but he could do nothing.

I changed to a merchant ship and entered Chihai from Lingdukou, and went southeast along Chihai. I first spent the night city and then the sea city, and finally entered Sangcheng.

When I entered Sangcheng, I got in touch with Qingyou and Yunqiao, and finally met Mu Xinru at the port of Sangcheng.

Mu Xinru's face looked a little better. Since she was rescued by Nianyi, she has been not very good since she woke up. However, after returning to the Dream Clan, after these days of recuperation, her skills have now recovered by at least 70%.

Seeing Mu Xinru, I couldn't help but reminisce again, but because Qiqi was anxious to find Chu Xuanchi, everyone didn't stay at the port for long.

After Qiqi got ashore, he also observed the nearby situation. This is the legendary Sangcheng Port, which is larger than any port she has ever seen. Looking at it, even if she stands on the mast, she cannot see the edge of the port. It is magnificent in size.

Sangcheng is worthy of being a city that shoulders the heavy responsibility of connecting the two continents. The Liusang wooden warships and merchant ships from Sangcheng are all top ships. They are not only processed firmly, but also have extremely strong durability.

Although Qiqi was anxious, he had a lot of thoughts when he arrived in Sangcheng. Since some things came, he should do it.

After a brief walk at the port and briefly understanding the situation nearby, Qiqi and Mu Chu and his group immediately rushed into the city.

Qingyouyunqiao accompanied Mu Xinru, who had been here for a day, but Mu Chu had sent a letter to them before asking them to wait here for a while, so Mu Xinru waited until Qiqi and Mu Chu arrived before setting off.

The prosperity of this city is even better than their imagination. Compared with the dark city, Sangcheng is simply a paradise for people to live. It is full of flowers everywhere and everyone is happy. No matter what, the city lord of this Sangcheng is now well-managed and is indeed a rare talent.

But Qiqi discovered it again. When he talked about the city lord's power, Mu Xinru's eyes always had a faint look of darkness.

She knew very well that her adoptive mother was definitely not the kind of person who was narrow-minded and would be jealous of others.

She seemed to have a different idea about Sangcheng's current city lord, and her own sister Mu Nianqin.

Qiqi couldn't see through what this darkness represented, but at least she believed in Mu Xinru's character, and she would never hate others for no reason.

Seeing Mu Xinru occasionally coughing, Mu Chu hurriedly said, "Mom, how are you doing in the past few days?"

"It's okay. I've been sick for many years, and even Master Nian can't cure Wei's mother completely, so I can only do this."

Mu Chu didn't say anything. His mother was poisoned for many years and she had tried every means to detoxify her, but she could never remove the remaining toxins in her body.

Although her master has given her treatment, the toxins that have accumulated over the years are still not as easy as explaining.

Pour her a cup of tea, and he said, "This time I go back, my mother should not be angry with others. No matter what I encounter, what I hear, it is best to be calm."

"For my mother understand." Why is Mu Xinru not clear about her body?

Although my health has been getting better and better recently, the old problems are still there and I can't be too indulgent. It will take some time to completely remove the toxins in my body.

"Why is it so lively?" Qiqi looked out of the window, wondering why the people were all gathered together, as if they were waiting for someone.

They are now on the second floor of a teahouse with a window and are having lunch.

Mu Xinru also looked down and saw the people below, and she always felt a little warm. No matter what Mu Nianqin is, at least her method of governing Sangcheng is not bad.

Seeing that the people gathered more and more, Qiqi couldn't help but look back at Yun Qiao at the next table.

Yun Qiao took the order and hurried downstairs. Not long after, she came back and reported: "Miss, today the Mu family in Sangcheng gave rice and grain. I heard that it was praying for the old city lord."

After hearing the three words "Old City Lord", Mu Xinru's face inevitably changed slightly. After all, she was her own mother. She hadn't seen her for so many years. Now that she heard the news that she was seriously ill, she was already anxious to rush back.

I just don’t know if I haven’t returned for so many years and I am guilty, did the Mu family allow them to enter?

Mu Xinru's guilty body must start with the previous two queens. The previous one was naturally the mother of Qiqi Meng Cangyun. As for Mu Xinru's grandmother when he was driven out of the Meng clan, he was Qiqi's grandmother, and Meng Cangyun's mother.

At that time, Meng Cangyun was still His Highness and had not yet ruled. If Meng Cangyun had not pleaded with her, the late emperor would not have been as simple as driving them out of the Meng clan.

The late emperor suspected that there were traitors among the five generals who colluded with the three major clans, and in anger he wanted to kill the five generals.

That incident was quite a stir at that time, but now it has become a page in history and has long been turned over.

If Meng Cangyun had not tried his best to appease the previous emperor, their lives would have not been left now. Even the eldest prince and the second prince were implicated in the rebellion of the three major clans and were expelled from the Meng clan together.

As for the five generals, there were almost all the family members who suffered heavy casualties in that incident. The Mu family is the luckiest clan among them.

Because the Mu family had already mastered the entire Sang City at that time, and the old emperor and the old city lord had a good relationship and believed in the old city lord's character, the Mu family survived that catastrophe.

But the other generals' families were not so lucky. The most unfortunate family was killed, and even the luckiest ones were left with few remaining lines.

After being confiscated, several wealthy families who were originally well-known in the Dream Clan fell into something worse than those of ordinary people in an instant.

Mu Xinru just heard about what happened after this, after all, she had never returned to the Dream Clan.

Later, His Majesty Meng Cangyun was in power and rehabilitated the five generals. It was also found that all this was done by Meng Shiyue. It was Meng Shiyue who interfered with the people of her mother's clan that made the last emperor blind.

When Kymph Cangyun was in power, Meng Shiyue had already secretly cultivated his own power. In the end, Meng was lost and Meng Cangyun disappeared, and Meng Shiyue replaced her.

But the three major clans did not expect that after Meng Shiyue took over, they would point the gun head at them. The Shui tribe, Wind tribe and Fire tribe have been removed one after another for more than 20 years since Meng Shiyue was in power.

The water tribe is the last destroyed tribe, but it is still hard to escape the misfortune. The patriarchs of the three major clans believed in the wrong person and believed in Meng Shiyue, a villain who was kind to repay the grudges and hatred, but it was too late to regret it now.

Now the whole Meng is in the hands of Meng Shiyue. Although Qicheng has broken away from Mengdu, except for the Dark City, there is no city lord, the other six city lords are in one place, so it can basically be said to be the king here.

But everyone was calmly maintaining the balance of this side as the city lord, just because some old city lords were actually thinking about the kindness His Majesty Meng Cangyun gave them back then.

Unfortunately, the new generation of city lords may not have such an idea. This is also something that several generals are worried about, so even if His Majesty Cang Yun’s daughter comes back, it may not be so easy to unite the power of the seven cities.

Seeing the people gathering more and more, Qiqi was just watching, and always felt an inexplicable sense of existence in her heart. She always felt that someone nearby was paying attention to the movements of her head.

But no matter how she searched, she couldn't find the figure she was thinking about.

Is Xuan Chi nearby? Where is he hiding? Why can't she see him?

"Yun Qiao, did you know who was coming out to send food today?" Qiqi asked.

"I heard it was the fourth lady of the Mu family." Yun Qiao replied calmly.

The fourth lady of the Mu family? This Mu Rushuang and Qiqi had never seen her before. She just didn't expect that the one she came out was not Mu Ruyun.

It is said that there are two young men and three young ladies in the Mu family. It is not because Mu Nian and Qin Zhen are so able to give birth, but because the two young men and the fourth ladies are adopted. Only the third ladies Mu Ruyun and the fifth ladies Mu Ruhua are her biological children.

I don’t know what the fourth lady Mu Rushuang’s status is in the Mu family.

"Mom, it's still early, let's have a meal first." Seeing that everyone looked depressed and thoughtful, Qiqi suddenly smiled slightly, added vegetables to Mu Xinru's bowl, and added some to Mu Chu and Wuming beside him.

He turned around and smiled at Qingyou Yunqiao and Tiesheng, "Eat quickly, and you will have the strength to think about what to do next when you are full."

There are people from Sangcheng everywhere here, so they are naturally inconvenient to speak, so no one says much, just lowers his head and eats.

Not long after, the streets below finally surged. From a distance, more than a dozen carriages slowly came from the other end of the street.

They walked very slowly because the people on the carriage not only distributed rice and grain along the way, but also gave the people bedding and cotton jackets for the winter.

He walked so slowly along the way that when he reached not far from his head, Qiqi finally saw the person sitting on the back of the first horse.

It’s not the fourth lady Mu Rushuang, but the third lady Mu Ruyun!

Looking back at Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao hurriedly said, "I'll go and find out what's going on."

Qiqi nodded, Yun Qiao immediately committed the chopsticks and rushed down from the second floor.

Qiqi looked back at Mu Chu. Mu Chu's face was as calm as water, and there was no turbulence in his eyes, but the cold air all over his body became deeper and deeper.

How could Qiqi not understand him?

He patted the back of his hand gently, and she whispered: "You and my mother went back this time as the Mu family. Even if Mu Ruyun had any thoughts about you secretly, she would not dare to do anything to you on the surface. She still had to worry about the relationship between your mother and the old city lord."

With his eyes to comfort, even if it was just a look, it had already made Mu Chu feel a little softer.
