Chapter 564: Mandarin ducks also peck each other

Chu Xiaomu was very surprised and said, "So... Huang Tianxiang had already calculated it."

"Master said that my helping the general that time was like saving Bicheng, and saving you is likely to be saving the future Cangmu Kingdom. That's why I went to save you first and then to help the general."

Chu Xiaomu was even more frightened, and stammered, "Saving me means...saving...the future Cangmu Kingdom. How...how...is this possible?"

Jinglan smiled and said, "This is what the master said, but he said that his ability is not high enough and he can't see that far, but he guessed that you may be a big figure who saves Cangmu Country in the future. Brother Xiaomu, I think so too."

Chu Xiaomu thought to himself that Huang Jieshi had said this to him, and with the prophecy of "the divine horse appears, and the extraordinary person is born", he often fantasized about becoming a big shot with a hundred people's support. But now he only had a little over a thousand troops from Bicheng Nanding Army, and the battalion commander was still very dissatisfied with him. If he wanted to become a big shot who could save Cangmu Country, he was still a long way from it.

He shook his head and said, "I just hope that after this Seven Cities Conference, the seven major cities of Cangmu Country can unite to fight against the Red Soldiers. There is no need for anyone to save them."

Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. But who can tell what's going on in this world? Just like my father, he was so kind to Uncle Xiao, but who would have thought that this man was deliberately trying to kill him behind his back..."

Chu Xiaomu didn't want to make Jinglan sad again. Seeing that it was getting dark, he hurriedly ate his noodles and paid the bill, and the two returned to the guesthouse together.

When he opened the door of his room, he saw Xiaoying sitting in the room angrily, saying, "You stinky wood, where have you been these days?"

Chu Xiaomu said: "I didn't go anywhere. I have been working with your sister Jinglan in Jinyang City."

Xiaoying said: "Why didn't you call me when you were doing this?!"

Chu Xiaomu said unhappily: "I can't see you all day long, how can I call you?"

Xiaoying thought about it and it seemed to be true. She was no longer angry and changed into a happy look. She came over and hugged Chu Xiaomu's arm and said, "Brother Xiaomu, I have something very good to tell you."

Chu Xiaomu asked: "What good news?"

Xiaoying said mischievously: "Guess first, I want to see how good you are at guessing words."

Chu Xiaomu said: "If you want me to guess, you have to remind me, otherwise how can I guess?"

Xiaoying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a heads up. This matter has something to do with Brother Huangwu."

Chu Xiaomu became jealous and said, "Brother Huangwu, Brother Huangwu...you...you only have eyes for him now!"

Xiaoying looked incredulous, staring and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xiaomu said: "You...why do you always go to his house now? What's so good about his Tianhui Garden?!"

Xiaoying said: "Brother Huangwu's Tianhui Garden is of course better, with so many butterflies. And I don't go to his house on purpose. Whenever he has time, he will take me around Jinyang City, buy me a lot of fun things, and eat a lot of delicious food..."

"Okay, he even took you around Jinyang City and bought you this and that! Then you...then why did you come back to the guesthouse?!" Chu Xiaomu finally got angry and spoke very loudly.

Xiaoying didn't understand why Chu Xiaomu was angry, and angrily said, "You stinky wood, why are you so mean to me?!"

Chu Xiaomu said loudly: "Since Brother Huangwu is so kind to you, then you can move to his Tianhui Garden and live without me and Jinglan!"

Xiaoying was not to be outdone and shouted, "If I want to go, I'll go. If I don't want to go, I won't go. What's it to you?"

Chu Xiaomu was furious and wanted to slap Xiaoying twice, but seeing her pretty face flushed with anger, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He panted heavily, sat down on a chair, turned his head and ignored her.

Jinglan heard the noise and went into the room, carefully closing the door. She asked, "What's wrong? Why are you two making such a fuss?"

Chu Xiaomu still turned his head away and said nothing.

Xiaoying threw herself into Jinglan’s arms and started crying, sobbing, “Sister Jinglan, that bastard… he… he bullied me…”

Jinglan hurriedly asked what had happened, and Xiaoying told her what had happened.

Jinglan found out that Chu Xiaomu was jealous and lost his temper. She felt very upset and could only sigh and say, "Your brother Xiaomu has been in a bad mood recently because of something. You should ignore him."

Xiaoying cried, "Does he have the right to be mean to me just because he's in a bad mood? Even on the top of Baihua Peak, my sister has never been as mean to me as he is..."

Jinglan didn't know how to persuade him, so she could only remain silent.

Chu Xiaomu thought about how he had lost his composure a little bit just now, and he felt a little regretful. But when he thought about Xiaoying being with Huang Wu Baoguan every day, his anger rose again, and he said angrily: "Miss Jinglan, we will go back to Bicheng tomorrow morning!"

Jinglan thought that she had been in Jinyang City for so long, and she had almost finished what she needed to do. She thought that her master was also worried about her safety, so it was time for her to go back. So she nodded and said, "That's fine, let's pack up and leave early tomorrow morning."

Xiaoying said, "There is no rush to go back to Bicheng in one or two days. I promised Brother Huangwu that I would wait for him here tomorrow morning, and you two will wait for him here too. Besides, what's so good about the shabby military camp in Bicheng? Do we have to go back?"

Chu Xiaomu was so angry that he simply stopped talking.

Jinglan thought that Xiaoying was young and simple-minded, and seemed to have no idea about the relationship between men and women, so she didn't understand why Chu Xiaomu was angry. She had to coax her a few words and take her back to her room to rest. Before leaving, she also advised Chu Xiaomu not to think too much, and being angry would not solve any problems.

Chu Xiaomu was in a very bad mood. He locked the door and lay on the bed with his clothes on. He didn't know how long it took him to fall asleep.
