In the familiar courtyard, Mu Xiaojiu and Cai Jing sat opposite each other on both sides of the table in the pavilion, Cai Jing was still carrying a pot of hot water in his hand, and was slowly brewing tea.

"Lord Wang, even if you are in name, you are already under one person and above ten thousand."

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, and glanced at Cai Jing with some surprise, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Cai Jing sighed, "I am also a big member of the dynasty, and I can be regarded as standing at the peak of power, right?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded again.

"Then can you tell me, prince?" Cai Jing put down the kettle, "Why are the two of us drinking at the same table, and we are still drinking this old tea from last year?" Is it that you have no money or I have no money, are we so poor that we can't even afford to drink new tea? ”

"Uh......" Mu Xiaojiu smiled slightly embarrassed, "The right should be to drink water, the right to drink water." ”

"I didn't say it, Lord Wang." Cai Jing first poured a full cup of tea for Mu Xiaojiu, and then poured himself a full cup of tea, "Your old tea is not the Pu'er Tuo tea over there in Xiaguan, and it is not the unique Liubao in the Cangwu area, and you have the right to drink water, and the water is better than this." ”

As he spoke, Cai Jing took a small sip of tea into his mouth, and then showed a textbook-level "hard to swallow" expression on his face very cooperatively.

Mu Xiaojiu rolled his eyes, "Lord Cai, then you said that you have a problem with your brain, that this tea is unpalatable, and that the water is better than this, and that your mouth is full of sarcasm." You don't want to drink it, and no one forces you to ......" As he spoke, Mu Xiaojiu also picked up the cup of tea in front of him and drank it all quite boldly.

Then, he spit out all the cups of tea.

"I ...... Go, it's really hard to drink, pour it, and drink water is better than this. ”

"Isn't it, you see, I can still fool you?" Cai Jingzhi smiled proudly, "Go back and let someone help you take a look, this kind of old tea is thrown away as soon as possible, or it will be fed to the livestock, and I will get you two catties of good tea, let's drink the bar first, even if it is water, right?" ”

While the two were talking, they quickly poured all the tea in the cup and the tea leaves into the flower bed outside the pavilion, and Mu Xiaojiu also took off the wine gourd on his waist. Just after separating from Lei Juan, he had already gone to fill the wine gourd first, and the tea was also taken at that time.

"By the way, Lord Wang, who delivered the tea to you just now? I thought about sending him away. If you can take out this kind of aged tea, you must have no knowledge, and you don't even know how to distinguish between basic tea. If you change guests, people drink in front of you and don't have anything to say, turn around and go outside, and maybe they will laugh at you. Cai Jing watched Mu Xiaojiu pull the wine stopper, and a clear aroma of wine slowly spread, and nodded with a little reassurance.

"Uh......" Mu Xiaojiu smiled a little embarrassed again, first poured a glass of wine for Cai Jing, and then filled himself with "Okay, okay, drink and drink, don't talk about that." ”

Cai Jing, who had just raised half of the wine glass, jumped his eyelids after hearing this, and the following movements in his hands stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Mu Xiaojiu with a suspicious face, "Lord Wang, you took this tea?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, but in fact, he was using his sleeves to cover his slightly hot cheeks, "That's right...... This tea is indeed taken by me, this is not ...... I don't usually drink much tea, and I don't know how to ......."

Mu Xiaojiu thought that Cai Jing would take advantage of the situation to complain about himself again, but he didn't think about it, Cai Jing suddenly looked at the place where the two of them had poured the tea just now.

"Lord Cai?" Seeing Cai Jing's appearance, Mu Xiaojiu took the initiative to ask a little strangely.

"It's a loss, it's a big loss, I knew that this tea wouldn't be poured." Cai Jing clenched his fist with his right hand and gently hammered it into the palm of his left hand, and his old face was full of the four big words "heartache".

"What's the loss? Lord Cai, you shouldn't have suddenly lost your mind. Mu Xiaojiu frowned, not knowing what kind of wind Cai Jing was smoking here.

Who thought that Cai Jing waved his hand, "Lord Wang, you don't understand, this is a tea that the prince of the Central Plains took by himself, even if it is not delicious, it must be drunk." Wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing to be poured down casually like this? ”

Mu Xiaojiu rolled his eyes wildly, and by the way, he compared a middle finger to Cai Jing that he couldn't understand at all.

"Hahahaha." Cai Jing looked at Mu Xiaojiu, who had finally returned to nature completely and relaxed, and felt very relieved, and couldn't help laughing out loud for a while.

"Alright, alright." Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, "It's been a gag for a long time, it's time to get down to business." Lord Cai, I'm calling you over right now, mainly because I just discovered something strange. ”

"Oh?" Cai Jing straightened his color and looked at Mu Xiaojiu, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"When I just came out of the front hall, Lei Juan, the master of Xiaohanmen, stopped me, and then said to me privately that the extraterritorial forces are now in contact with the tearful Destruction Nuo City, hoping that the Destruction Nuo City can join the extraterritorial forces."

"Is that so?" As soon as Cai Jing heard it, he instantly understood what Mu Xiaojiu meant.

"Yes, I thought, it's no coincidence. The matter over there in Doll Mountain Villa is not listed for the time being, just the incident of Qi Shaoshang and the sword against the cold water that followed, plus the destruction of Nuo City, this timing is too coincidental. Moreover, I have emphasized many times that Pang Ban, no matter his mental strength, is not to be underestimated. I suspect that the incident of the Reverse Water and Cold Sword is just an introduction, and Pang Ban and the others are likely to have calculated that the old ghost of Aoi will not kill me, and I should return to the capital in the near future, so I will make trouble at this time. ”

"It's very likely." Cai Jing bowed slightly, and expressed his agreement with Mu Xiaojiu's suspicions, "According to the current situation, it is an indisputable fact that foreign forces have died down, and it is clear that they have stepped into our pace and begun to cultivate and recuperate. In this case, those nails and shadows belonging to extraterritorial forces should not stand out in this way. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. ”

Mu Xiaojiu's gaze also became more and more solemn, "That's right, but now if the matter of the Sword Against the Water and Cold is just an introduction, then the destruction of Nuo City is likely to be just a piece of bait thrown by the enemy, either to lure us deeper, or to take the opportunity to show our strength and bite off a piece of our flesh, therefore, we have to guard against it." ”

"That'...... Regarding the Doll's Villa, do you still want to go in person? Cai Jing asked with some hesitation.

"Go, why not." Mu Xiaojiu picked up the wine cup with one hand and drank all the wine in the cup, "I'm not going, how do I know what's going on over there?" ”
