How could Pang Xiao allow Mu Jinghu to bow to him? He was already very kind when he agreed to help. Pang Xiao knew that what he was asking for was not a simple matter. When had Mu Jinghu ever helped him without risking his life?
Besides, he could not blame Mu Jinghu for what happened this time. He was grateful to Mu Jinghu, how could he blame him?
Mu Jinghu's arm was held tightly by Pang Xiao's large hands. He had no choice but to stop. Looking at Pang Xiao's sincere eyes, Mu Jinghu felt even more guilty and his face turned red.
Pang Xiao was afraid that Mu Jinghu would feel uncomfortable, so he asked about the incident at the Qiu Family's residence in Bo 'an Town.
Mu Jinghu's stiffness and awkwardness eased a little. Thinking about what happened that day, he said with righteous indignation, "The Qiu Family is too despicable, they actually took advantage of others! That day, my Martial Uncle predicted that there would be a death sentence in our lives. You know how I entered the sect, so I had no choice but to stay behind to protect Martial Uncle. That delayed the time when we left the city with the Qin Clan. Later, I decided to take Martial Uncle with me and chase after them overnight. In the end, we saw a ground full of corpses. Just as we were about to check, the Qiu Family suddenly appeared and captured both Martial Uncle and me.
"I originally had the ability to escape with Martial Uncle, but Martial Uncle fell into their trap. I could not leave her behind and escape by myself, so I had no choice but to surrender. During that time in the Qiu Family, they were humiliating us.
They're really trying their best to humiliate me, but I can't do anything before I can guarantee Martial Uncle's safety.
"Fortunately, I rescued Martial Uncle later. Martial Uncle was resourceful and thought of an excellent way to deal with the Qiu Family."
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "I heard that the Qiu Family's residence caught fire and the entire residence was burned down? What happened to the people inside? "
"They were all burned to death. My Martial Uncle concocted a bewitching drug. Later, I set fire to their residence and most likely everyone died. "
When Mu Jinghu said this, he did not seem to have any psychological burden. He had always been like this. Although he was loyal and trustworthy, that was only for the people he cared about. The environment he grew up in had taught him to have a transcendent temperament. It could be said that the important people he was not familiar with were similar to ants in his eyes.
Although Mu Jinghu was not a murderous demon and would not kill people for fun, he was still capable of killing an entire family just because they were kidnapped. Perhaps, Mu Jinghu would even think that it was a matter of course and that it was an eye for an eye.
Thinking of this, Pang Xiao did not instill his ideas into Mu Jinghu's head. Everyone was different, and he could not use his own standards to measure Mu Jinghu.
Pang Xiao changed the topic and asked, "So, under the command of your Martial Uncle, you destroyed the Qiu family's courtyard and escaped with her?"
"That's right." Mu Jinghu seemed to have just remembered something and pointed at the horse carriage behind them. "My Martial Uncle is in the carriage."
Pang Xiao looked at the horse carriage, and the murderous intent in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
In the past, when he worked with Tian Jizi, Pang Xiao did not have any feelings towards her, but was annoyed by her judgements. Even when he was annoyed, he did not have to kill her to stop. That was why he could maintain an attitude of indifference.
However, Tian Jizi was against Qin Yining and even wanted to kill Qin Yining because of her judgements.
From the corner of his eye, Pang Xiao saw the tense Mu Jinghu beside him and loosened his clenched fists.
Even if it was for Mu Jinghu's sake, he could not make a move now.
Ever since the horse carriage stopped, Tian Jizi did not dare to show her face. When she heard Mu Jinghu say that she was retreating, Tian Jizi wanted to poke him in the head a few times.
However, after waiting for a while and seeing that Pang Xiao did not come up to strangle her, Tian Jizi wiped the sweat on her forehead and straightened her expression. She lifted the curtains and leaned out of the horse carriage while maintaining an immortal posture. Her round body nimbly jumped off the horse carriage, patted her clothes, and clasped her hands.
"Blessed Immeasurable Celestial Venerable, how has Wang Ye been doing?"
Pang Xiao smiled. "This King is doing very well, thank you for your concern, Celestial Venerable. Celestial Venerable, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so energetic. I think Celestial Venerable is the only one in this world who can learn Buddhism and cultivate Daoism at the same time. You are truly skilled in both Daoism and Buddhism, transcending the mortal world and surpassing immortals. "
"You flatter me, Wang Ye, I am flattered. My talent is average, and it is all thanks to my peers." Tian Jizi said modestly.
Mu Jinghu was speechless.
He silently looked away, not wanting to admit that this person was his Martial Uncle.
Pang Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Since it is safe, let's take a short rest and return to the old capital."
"Alright."
"There is no need!"
Mu Jinghu's and Tian Jizi's voices sounded at the same time. Mu Jinghu agreed naturally, while Tian Jizi objected vehemently.
Mu Jinghu looked at Tian Jizi in surprise. "Martial Uncle, where do you want to go if you don't return to the old capital?"
Tian Jizi said meaningfully, "We have our own places to go, we will not go to the old capital for the time being."
"No, I still have to go back to see Shanshan. Shanshan is pregnant, and she must have been scared out of her wits this time. I have to go back and accompany her. Martial Uncle has not seen Shanshan for a long time, why don't we go back together? "
Tian Jizi observed Pang Xiao's expression from the corner of her eye, and cursed Mu Jinghu in her heart for being so stubborn.
She wanted to go back to the old capital with Pang Xiao, what if he suddenly decided to assassinate her on the way back? Even if Pang Xiao cared about Mu Jinghu's feelings, he would not go so far as to ban her because of his friend's feelings, right?
"No, of course it is not good." Tian Jizi pinched her fingers together and said, "I have not passed that calamity, and the location is not auspicious, I cannot go to the old capital."
"But didn't you say that as long as I am by your side, the calamity will be resolved?" Mu Jinghu asked suspiciously.
Tian Jizi thought of the words she had said to him that day, and the corners of her lips twitched.
"That was then, and this is now. How can that be the same as now?"
Mu Jinghu could tell that Tian Jizi was looking for all kinds of reasons not to go to the old capital, or rather, she did not want to go with Pang Xiao.
Mu Jinghu felt a little uncomfortable.
Tian Jizi wanted to kill off the Qin Clan, but Pang Xiao did not kill Tian Jizi even though he valued the Qin Clan. Mu Jinghu knew that he had a part to play in this, and he was already very touched. Tian Jizi was not calculative, but she was being petty.
"No, I just want to go back and accompany Shanshan, if Martial Uncle wants to go alone.
Wouldn't you be deliberately letting your son face danger alone? Anyway, you said that as long as I follow and protect you, everything will be fine. Isn't it the same where you go? "
Tian Jizi was speechless for a moment, and she regretted fooling him with the words that Mu Jinghu would be able to resolve the crisis if he stayed by her side.
Pang Xiao watched the commotion for a while and said, "Fairy, you haven't been to the old capital for a long time, right? The customs and customs of the old capital have not changed, and you and my wife are old acquaintances, so this is a good time to meet and chat. "
Tian Jizi's expression changed a few times. She felt a toothache at the mention of Qin Yining. How many people had she plotted against, and how many things had she planned? In the past, she had been invincible and had never tasted defeat, but every time she encountered Qin Yining, things would develop in an unpredictable direction, and Tian Jizi could not grasp the direction no matter how hard she tried.
Qin Yining was really a huge variable, and it was the same for all of them. She wanted to kill Qin Yining and get everything back on track, but she never had the chance. Tian Jizi was also very self-aware that she might not have the chance in the future.
Tian Jizi looked around hesitantly.
Pang Xiao's eyes were burning, Mu Jinghu's expression was stubborn, and behind them were the cavalrymen who were standing straight and holding their horses.
She silently estimated the feasibility of escaping, and finally nodded in resignation, and said in a reserved and upright manner, "Alright."
Pang Xiao smiled. Although his smile was very kind, Tian Jizi felt that it was full of sarcasm.
Mu Jinghu nodded, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, his expression suddenly turned cold.
Pang Xiao frowned at the same time, and walked towards a slope behind them.
Mu Jinghu was like a white crane flying across the lake, and after a few leaps, he arrived at the back of the slope at lightning speed, and forced a person out of the bushes.
That person was dressed in short brown clothes, and his hair was messy. His face was covered with a piece of cloth, and only his eyebrows and eyes were exposed.
Pang Xiao and Mu Jinghu could see that this person's eyes were sharp, his footsteps were light, and his Qi and blood were protruding. He should be a strong expert.
"Who are you!"
That person turned and fled.
Mu Jinghu's expression was stern, and he chased after him.
Pang Xiao turned back and asked Huzi to keep an eye on Tian Jizi, and led the cavalrymen to gallop up. The horses' hooves kicked up dust, and everyone shouted, and surrounded Mu Jinghu and the stalker in a circle.
In this way, the stalker could not escape even if he had wings.
Mu Jinghu was afraid that the stalker was sent by the Qiu family, and he did not show any mercy. The other party's martial arts skills were also beyond Mu Jinghu's expectations.
The two exchanged blows, and their bodies were as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged a few moves. Pang Xiao sat upright on the horse, watching intently. If Mu Jinghu was not around, he would not be able to catch the Spies.
However, Mu Jinghu was powerful, and the stalker was no match for Mu Jinghu. He was kicked in the chest by Mu Jinghu, and flew out.
Pang Xiao's subordinates, the South Pacifying Army, had long been itching to fight. They rushed forward like a tide, and with Mu Jinghu's help, they tied up the man effortlessly.
When the man's mask was removed, what came into view was an ordinary face, and his complexion was slightly sallow.
Mu Jinghu turned back to look at Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao walked in front of the man and sized him up. "Watch him carefully, we will go back and interrogate him."
"Yes!" The surrounding people responded like a tide.
The man who was tied up kept twisting, his eyes full of stubbornness. When he looked at Mu Jinghu, he seemed to be at a loss for words.
If he did not remove his disguise, Mu Jinghu and Pang Xiao would be able to recognize him. He was Shopkeeper Liu, who was arranged by Qiu Feishan to follow Pang Xiao and size up the situation.
Unfortunately, he was afraid that he would be exposed and cause trouble for Qiu Feishan, so he removed his disguise.
If he did not disguise himself, Mu Jinghu might not catch him, and he could find another reason to stay alive. He could say that Madam was worried about Master, and Mu Jinghu would definitely be soft-hearted.
But now, Shopkeeper Liu could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
Pang Xiao turned back and patted Mu Jinghu's shoulder with a smile.
"Luckily you are here, otherwise this man would have escaped."
