Chapter 657 Xuan Ying meets Mu Longguang
Deputy General Zhu didn't dare to speak and just led the way obediently in front.
The General's Mansion was not far from the noisy street, and they arrived there in a short while. Mo Haodong's four servants did not dare to go in, and stopped far away.
After receiving the notification, Mu Longguang came out to greet him personally. He bowed to Xuan Ying and said, "I am very honored to see General Xuan again." However, he did not even look at Mo Haodong who was standing behind him.
Xuan Ying said coldly: "General Mu, you don't have to be polite. I came to you this time to fulfill the agreement, which is not a good thing for you."
Mu Long was choked by Xuan Ying before he could say anything. He could only laugh dryly and invited Xuan Ying in. He turned around and glared at Mo Haodong, saying, "Wait outside!"
Mo Haodong had no choice but to stand outside the door and wait obediently. He became even more confused about the identity of the boy in black. He thought to himself, my godfather is usually not so polite to City Lord Yong, so why is he so respectful to this boy in black who is a few years younger than me?
After sitting down, Mu Longguang asked the attendant to serve tea, then asked the deputy general and the guards to leave, leaving only him and Xuanying in the hall.
Xuan Ying asked straight to the point: "General Mu, where is my Xuanzong's old house in Baijun City?"
Mu Longguang said: "It has been nearly five hundred years since General Xuan's ancestor Xuan Nanwu left Baijun City. It is indeed not easy to find the specific location again after so many changes."
Xuanying frowned and said, "That's not what you said in Jinyang City!"
"I do know the approximate location of your old house, but it's quite large and it's very difficult to find the entrance."
"What entrance?"
"General Xuan, you don't know that the things your ancestor Xuan Nanwu left behind are placed in a dark room under your old house. If you want to enter the dark room, you must first find its entrance."
"As long as we can find the location of the old house, we will definitely find the entrance!"
Mu Longguang showed a very embarrassed look on his face and said, "We all thought so, but unfortunately..."
Xuan Ying suddenly came to his senses and said in a stern voice, "So you guys have been planning to take my Xuanzong's relics for a long time!"
Mu Longguang said hurriedly: "General Xuan, don't be angry. When your Xuanzong left, no one would have thought that you would come back. Knowing that the treasure is hidden and not looking for it is tantamount to deliberately destroying it, which is too disrespectful to the treasure."
Xuanying didn't say anything. He felt that what Mu Longguang said made some sense.
Mu Longguang continued, "It's a pity that we have been looking for more than ten years and still have nothing to show for it. Xuan Nanwu was the number one person in Cangmu Country back then, and he was really amazing!"
"You guys? Who else is there besides you?"
"That's my sworn brother, Mo Haodong's father, Mo Shiyuan."
“Since you have known about my Xuanzong’s relics for a long time, why have you only been looking for them for a dozen years?” Xuanying implied that the ancestors’ treasures had been hidden for nearly five hundred years. Logically, they should have been coveted for nearly five hundred years. It is impossible that they have only been looked for in the last ten years or so.
"That's another great skill of your Xuanzong. When Xuan Nanwu left Baijun City, he burned a large part of your old house to ashes, leaving almost nothing on the ground except for some ruins. But he left a letter in my city, saying that Xuanzong had left Baijun City and would no longer have anything to do with the various cities, tribes, and sects, and would no longer participate in the various struggles of Cangmu Country..."
Xuanying didn't wait for him to finish his words and asked, "Where is the letter?"
Mu Longguang showed a trace of embarrassment and said, "It has been destroyed."
Xuanying asked again: "Who destroyed it?" His tone was slightly unhappy.
Mu Longguang said, "This was an unintentional mistake on the part of my son. Please do not blame me, General Xuan. However, the letter was not written to a specific person, but to the entire Baijun City. Moreover, the words in the letter are plain and there is nothing special about them..." He paused and continued, "If General Xuan wants to read it, I can write out another copy of the letter from memory."
Xuanying said coldly: "Since it is written to the entire Baijun City, then there is no need."
Mu Longguang added, "But later we discovered that the letter contained a secret, which turned out to be a map of a secret passage! After months of hard thinking, we finally figured out the secret, which is that the magic weapon, the Evil-Shooting Spear, is still buried somewhere underground in Baijun City... We found the approximate location of your old house, but unfortunately we couldn't find the entrance to the underground secret room. It has been almost 30 years since then."
"You just said you've been looking for more than ten years."
"That's because this incident happened thirty years ago. We searched for it for more than ten years but couldn't find it, so we gave up."
"It's just a gun that can be used to shoot evil spirits. Is it necessary for you to spend more than ten years looking for it?" Xuan Ying didn't quite believe what Mu Longguang said.
Mu Longguang's eyes rolled a few times, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to. Xuanying knew that he must have something extremely secret to tell him.
But Mu Longguang asked, "General Xuan, what do you think of Chu Xiaomu who caused a big disturbance in Qingyang Palace?"
Xuanying said coldly: "Why are you asking this?"
Mu Longguang was not afraid of him at all this time, and said, "General Xuan, please answer truthfully."
Xuanying said: "Xiaomu has a kind nature and is very responsible. I admire him very much."
"It is said that you once worked as slaves and mined together in Jiaoshan, Jinyang City."
"Yes, Xiaomu, Aqi and I are the best friends."
"No wonder you held back on him in the Qingyang Palace. Otherwise, with your Tianguan ability, even if his force was much stronger than yours, he would not have been able to defeat the Sword Master's sword fight."
Xuan Ying frowned slightly. In the battle in Qingyang Hall, he did not use his full strength. He was fully confident that he could stab Chu Xiaomu with a few of his knives. He suddenly felt a cold chill in his heart - since Mu Longguang could see it, then the master must be able to see it too. He... why didn't he say it?
Mu Longguang nodded and said, "Brother Chu Xiaomu and I had a long talk here all night. I am very confident in his character. He is definitely not a traitor who colluded with the Chisha Kingdom."
After a pause, he continued, "Since General Xuan and Brother Chu are very good friends, it doesn't hurt to tell you what I know..."
Xuanying held his breath gently. It turned out that Mu Longguang knew some important secret that was unknown to others!
Mu Longguang said: "Yes, we are looking for the secret room in your Xuanzong's old house not to shoot the evil spear. It is said that the original force is not enough to control the spear. We are looking for something more important..."
Xuan Ying stared at Mu Longguang without saying a word.
Mu Longguang's lips trembled slightly, and he said slowly: "That is the treasure map of Shenwu Immortal!"
