CHAPTER XXXIV. 3

Mu Cheng saw that she was stunned and the expression on her face changed rapidly, thinking that she was uncomfortable, so he put his hand on her forehead and said strangely:

"The temperature is normal, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Mei Ziyan waved his hand away angrily and walked away in silence. When she wanted to find Mu Cheng but found that Mu Cheng was nowhere to be found, she searched room by room, and when she found the last one and didn't find it, she was a little panicked, ran to the corridor and shouted Mu Cheng's name loudly, and when she was hoarse, she heard a chuckle from the roof, and looked up to see that the master who couldn't find it was sitting on the roof and looking at her with a smile.

He pointed to the ladder that had been set aside, "Come up." ”

"Why should I come up?" she thought angrily, it was funny to see her anxious!

"It's closer to the sky. He looked up at the dark blue sky that was almost black, and a fluttering word repelled her anger.

She sat beside him, the inky blue sky was dotted with unreachable but seemingly reachable stars, she was fascinated for a moment, and he threw the cotton robe in his hand into her arms, and said:

"Take it for this son. ”

She couldn't help laughing, because she was afraid that she would be cold, and there was his body temperature on the robe.

"The poison in my body is gone, is it?" he asked.

"In three months, you will live to eighty. ”

"Can I drink later?"

"Soak in the barrel and be fine. ”

"Can you tell me?"

She was silent for a long time, "You want me to waste all my work?"

"You don't value my own life more than I do, do you?" he said with a self-deprecating smile, "Tell me." I just want to know if I'm still heartbroken now. ”

"She was named Concubine Bi by Emperor Xuancheng and lived in Bishui Palace. She looked at Mu Cheng, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

"What else? For example, what role did you play in this matter? Why did she change her attitude towards me so resolutely, and why was the Emperor so understanding and wanted to help me dissolve the marriage that would be of great benefit to Ichira? In fact, when I thought about it later, it was just that I personally accepted the expected result in front of the Emperor. ”

"To put it mildly, aren't you irritated to the point of getting sick?" she criticized.

"Hopeless feelings are like rotten branches and leaves, and if you cut them off ruthlessly, you can be reborn. He laughed, his face was light, "I'm not a sentimental woman, let alone an amorous king, what's more, you gave me so many years for no reason, how can I live up to it?"

"You can lie, and if you deceive, I may not be very clever. She muttered, "It's so easy to get rid of, it's not love." ”

"I grew up with Bi Li since I was a child, she was supple and always liked to stick to me, at that time my mother had discussed with her father whether to set a baby kiss, but unfortunately before the matter came to fruition, my mother died of illness. I taught her to play the piano and calligraphy and painting, and I also felt that the peaceful life of Qin Se and Ming was what I wanted, and if I didn't suffer from heart disease, I thought that she and I would be a couple who respected each other. ”

Mei Ziyan held her chin and looked at him, and said secretly in her heart: Yes, if it weren't for me, maybe you would be a respectful couple by now.

"Having said that, in the two days you came to the palace, what did you do to make the emperor treat you with blue eyes?"

Mei Ziyan was so shocked that she almost didn't fall off the roof, "I didn't do anything, I just played chess." She immediately diverted the topic, "I heard that you are going to marry a concubine in the spring next year? Maybe you and the county lord of Xuanyang can also be a couple who respect each other." ”

He smiled bitterly, "Who is different for me now?"

Mei Ziyan was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Persimmon, I'll make a bet with you." I bet you won't be able to marry the lord of Xuanyang. ”

He studied the expression on her face with a deep look in his eyes, and she looked too serious to be joking. "What? do you think she's going to look down on me?"

The man she was going to marry would allow her to be careful, cook all kinds of food she liked, shake her fan when it was hot, listen to her whine when she couldn't sleep, force her to play the piano, not ask her to embroider, do what she was willing to do, and laugh at what she didn't want to do. ”

"What about her?"

"She, she's going to stay by that person's side, single-mindedly, and not go away. ”

"That's it?"

"That's all. She met his smiling gaze with a bright gaze.

"How do you know I can't?" he laughed, "but the lord is really lazy, like someone. ”

Someone? Mean her. She smiled bitterly, don't look away, the night wind was cold, she hugged the cotton robe in her hand tightly, and was unexpectedly pulled out by him and draped over her.

"Your heart is gone, you don't deserve her, and naturally you can't do what she asks. She said.

He raised his head, looked at the high and distant sky, and said calmly: "My heart has never been lost, didn't you just cut it there?" So, I will marry the county lord, and I have more important things to complete." ”

Mei Ziyan was just about to say something, when she suddenly heard a faint bell in the wind, she frowned, and said to Mu Cheng:

"Someone is coming. I tied a golden bell in several places in the village, and Suzaku said that there is a secret passage under the largest plane tree, so you can come with me. ”

But they were still half a step late, and before they reached the bottom of the tree, seven or eight torches had already surrounded them in the middle, which showed that these men in black were extremely skillful, obviously trained, and moved extremely quickly. The leader was armed with a Sirijon scimitar, and a pair of wolf-like eyes were revealed under the masked black cloth in the firelight.

"Are you afraid?" Mu Cheng asked her with a smile.

In such an environment, you can still laugh, could it be that you are not afraid of dying after dying once? Mei Ziyan sighed lightly and said, "Naturally, I am afraid." And when I think that the person who is going to die together is a persimmon, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. ”

"Are you unwilling? It can be seen that you say that you like me, which is a big lie. He pulled Mei Ziyan behind him, "Be improvised, just follow me." ”

The black-clothed man led by him waved his hand, and four killers attacked together, and in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow were dangerous, Mu Cheng's body was like a ghost, and he avoided the blade sideways, hit one person in the left rib with a backhand, and then took advantage of the situation to enter the white blade empty-handed and grabbed the scimitar in the hands of the other three, the palm wind was fierce, and the three people immediately retreated to avoid. And the man who was in the palm was knocked out a foot away, snorted and spat blood, and fell to the ground.

Mu Cheng stood upright, stood still, and said coldly: "Just because you also want to come and teach me the Mu Shura palm, it's too self-conscious!"

He pulled Mei Ziyan and ran towards the manger, "Once you get on the horse, you will go down the mountain by yourself, remember, don't look back." ”

"No, let's go together. I didn't save you so that you could save the beauty at this time and send you to death heroically!" Mei Ziyan pulled Mu Cheng's sleeve hard, her phoenix eyes looked at Mu Cheng resolutely, and a dagger inlaid with white jade slipped from her sleeve, "If you don't leave, it's better for me to kill you now, it's better than you falling into the hands of others." ”

Mu Cheng's black eyes swelled in the dark, he held her on the horse with one hand, and slapped the white horse with one palm, and the white horse neighed in pain and drove away. The man in black pounced like a shadow, and the hidden weapon came through the air with the sound of the wind, Mu Cheng pressed Mei Ziyan hard in his arms, and slapped the horse again, and the distance between him and the killer finally gradually widened.

The horse kept galloping down the hill, and if they looked back at this time, they would see the grass pavilion bathed in a sea of fire. I don't know what direction it is, I don't know how long I ran for a long time, until I didn't feel the danger of being tracked behind me, Mei Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Mu Cheng, who had been hugging herself tightly behind her:

"Persimmon, are we safe?"

Mu Cheng let go of her hands, but her head fell heavily on her shoulders, and she finally felt a wet and warm stickiness on her back, and immediately understood that it must be blood. She secretly cursed damn it, and Mu Cheng's body shook at this time, and he fell off the horse's back with a bang.
