Chapter 260: I Can't Stop It (12)

Mu Qingge, on the other hand, flickered for a while, and vaguely met Qin Jinhao in the crowd, and the two of them tacitly walked away.

Just as they were rushing to the study, another group of people came out of the inner courtyard, also aiming at the study that was on fire.

On this side, there was the female family of Mu Mansion led by Mu Lianrong, including Bai Xiyue's master and servant.

As a rule, women are not allowed to attend the crowning ceremony, and they can only hold a separate seat in the inner courtyard to allow the female relatives to participate in the celebration.

The two teams rushed over in a hurry and finally met outside the courtyard gate before entering the study.

"Father, what happened?" Mu Lianrong immediately asked as soon as they met.

Mu Xiong shook his head slowly: "I just arrived too."

While the two were talking, many domestic servants and guards carried water-filled objects, entered and discharged from the hospital, and actively put out the fire.

The fire had already passed through the courtyard wall, and the choking smoke was even more suffocating.

Some civil servants have already retreated in their hearts, and do not want to get close to the danger.

Of course, it's all coming. If you back down at this moment, you're worried about losing face in front of your colleagues. Suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Mu Xiong turned around in time and said to everyone: "Everyone, the fire is fierce ahead. For everyone's safety, let's stop here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few more people rushed out of the courtyard gate.

They were holding some paper objects and some porcelain ornaments in their arms.

There were burn marks all over his body, 'Zizi' was smoking white smoke, and he was in a state of embarrassment. It seemed that he took a risk and rescued something from the fiercely burning study.

As soon as they rushed out, they threw the things in their arms on the ground.

After hurriedly salute Mu Xiong, he returned again and rushed into the fire.

The fire exceeded Mu Xiong's imagination. Just relying on ordinary manpower, I am afraid it is difficult to put out in a short period of time. In order not to let it continue to spread and endanger the courtyards on the left and right, Mu Xiong strode into it, raised his hand and rolled his sleeves to see that a large burst of spiritual power erupted, instantly covering the flame, suppressing and controlling it.

After a short while, the monstrous fire gradually became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was finally extinguished by the power of Mu Xiong's palm.

The strong purple realm came to put out the fire, but it was just mere.

Fortunately, Mu Xiong still remembered to conceal his strength and did not release the coercion of Zijing.

"My old man is amazing! You can put out such a fire with just one palm. Who else in Qin Dynasty can do this?"

"Not bad, not bad! The reputation of my husband, Qin Guo's God of War, is not a false name. I will see you today, I will have no regrets in this life!"

"With my grandfather protecting me from Qin, how could anyone dare to provoke me so easily?"

"My grandfather is the protector of my Qin country! One day with my grandfather, our Qin country can be peaceful!"

"..."

Compliments keep coming.

Mu Qingge frowned slightly. The front is fine, but the more you hear the back, the more absolutely wrong. How can there be a smell of killing?

She squinted, her clear and slightly cold eyes swept over those who spoke.

Anyone who was swept by her suddenly felt like they fell into the ice cave and were frozen and unable to move. One by one, they all closed their voices and silenced them. When facing Mu Qingge, there was a panic in his eyes.

"My colleagues are wrong. Eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries. What Mu Xiong does is based on His Majesty's will. His Majesty is the heaven of our Qin state, protecting our Qin state for thousands of miles and thousands of people. ." Mu Xiong said calmly. There is no joy in being praised, and everything is left clean.

Mu Qingge could hear the malice in those people's words, how could he not be able to understand it because he had been immersed in officialdom for decades?

Everyone was embarrassed by what he said.

In the end, it was Qin Jinhao who stood up to smooth things out and ended this embarrassing topic by saying two irrelevant words.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, they suddenly heard a surprised voice: "Huh? What is this?"

Almost subconsciously, everyone looked at the woman who spoke.

Bai Xiyue, who suddenly became the focus of the crowd, was flustered and bit her lip shyly.

"Xiyue, what's going on?" Mu Lianrong asked as she approached her.

Bai Xiyue hurriedly took a few steps to the side, her skirt swaying as if she was blocking something behind her. Then, he explained softly: "No...nothing."

It's just, how can she hide from the people present when she looks like there are no three hundred taels here?

Mu Lianrong looked at her sharply, while she avoided these two interrogating gazes.

"Hey, this girl seems to be hiding something behind her. She also asked the girl to move and let me wait and see." In the crowd, an old fox spoke up.

Bai Xiyue's identity is not made public.

Those who have close ties with the Mu Mansion will naturally know her origin and identity. Those who intersect widely, naturally do not know who she is.

However, to be treated with courtesy by the Mu family, naturally, his status is not low. They also don't open their mouths to offend.

"It's really nothing, you guys believe me." Bai Xiyue didn't leave, but that lame explanation only added to the doubts in everyone's heart.

"Since there is nothing, why did the girl make a noise just now? Now she doesn't want me to wait to find out?" Another old fox came out of the hole.

Bai Xiyue's face was flustered, as if she was a girl who didn't understand the accident, and was at a loss when faced with questions from the crowd. She twisted her handkerchief and explained hesitantly: "Just now, I... I just had a blind eye..." After that, she raised her eyes pitifully to Mu Xiong.

The begging in his eyes was very obvious, as if he wanted Mu Xiong to help her.

However, people who are familiar with Mu Xiong's temperament will not know that under such circumstances, how could he, who is upright in his suit, prevaricate it so unclearly?

So, Mu Xiong said: "Xiyue, you step aside, there is nothing to dodge in Mu Mansion."

A trace of panic flashed in Bai Xiyue's eyes, as if she wanted to stop Mu Xiong's words.

But Mu Qingge, who had been watching her silently, saw a sneer hidden in her eyes under the panic.

Bai Xiyue showed a helpless look, and under Mu Xiong's gaze, she slowly moved to one side, revealing what was hidden behind her. She seemed to be sure that Mu Xiong would say so, and she seemed to think that everything would go according to her arrangement.

Behind her, the obscured things gradually revealed their true colors.

It's just a pile of books, files, snatched from the burning study.

Of course, those with sharp eyes noticed some differences.

One person walked out, pointed to several letters in the book and asked suspiciously, "Huh? What is this? Why is there Tuguo characters on it?"
