Chapter 177
In the suburbs of early spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the trees sprout green branches and buds, but there is a slight haze, and it seems that the sky is about to change. The two of them walked out of the city gate one after the other, and according to Li Qianyu's thoughts, they would not go too far, so they chose a pavilion nearby.
It is said that it is a pavilion, but there are a lot of things inside, because often some scholars and literati come here to compose poems in pairs, so it is very intimate to add some charcoal stoves for heating in the pavilion, and there is a red satin tent rolled on the edge of the pavilion, and there is a black brocade rope next to it, and the satin tent can be put down to block the cold wind by pulling.
However, such a delicate and extravagant pavilion costs a lot, once it encounters rain and snow, these accounts will have to be replaced, but it is also a lot of expenses, fortunately, the Great Zhou has always been not bad for money, and is willing to spend some money to complete the reputation of elegance.
Mu Qing came back for the first time, but he saw it freshly, while Li Qianyu looked left and right with a faint expression and walked in. Mu Qing followed him up the steps, took a handkerchief and patted the stone bench, brushed off the dust on it, and let Li Qianyu sit down, and he also sat opposite him.
Li Qianyu raised his eyes with a light face and looked at the black brocade ropes, raised his hand slightly, and those ropes were pulled down one by one, and the big red satin tent was scattered, leaving only one side still rolled on it, so that he could get some light.
Mu Qing smiled when he saw him like this: "Congratulations Brother Li, your kung fu has improved a lot." ”
Li Qianyu didn't refuse this compliment, maybe he was happy to hear this person's praise in his heart after all.
At this time, a wind blew from outside, carrying the early spring material, quite cold. Today, neither of them wore a cloak when they went out, and it was fashionable and inconspicuous in the city, but when they arrived outside the city, it seemed cold in an open field.
Unhurriedly, he tapped his palm with the jade jade fan, and saw that Mu Qing had already taken out a dagger from his arms. Li Qianyu raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, this king's martial arts have improved, so you want to come and compare with this king?" ”
Mu Qing hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, he just made some progress in light skills and gained more strength, if he stroked with Li Qianyu, at best, it was self-inflicted, and at worst, he didn't know what the consequences would be. Mu Qing stood up, walked outside and walked in after cutting a branch with a dagger, sat back on the stone bench, he broke the branch in half with force, sharpened one of the halfs, put down the dagger, poked the pointed end on the other branch with both hands, and then rubbed it hard.
Li Qianyu looked at him silently at first, but gradually, after a long time, Mu Qing was still gritting his teeth and fiddling with the small stick with a hideous face, but Li Qianyu was impatient. He looked at Mu Qing and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Mu Qing's arm was painful, and he gritted his teeth a little hard when he spoke at this time: "I forgot to bring a fire fold, thinking that if you can use the method of drilling wood to make fire, it will be good." ”
Li Qianyu's eyes were a little helpless for a moment, he looked at Mu Qing and said, "Do you know, what is drilling wood to make fire?" Without waiting for Mu Qing to answer, Li Qianyu gave the answer, "Use willow wood in spring, apricot wood in summer, and dry grass leaves." You're so ...... There will be no fire even when it gets dark. ”
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then his face was embarrassed.
I only know how to drill wood to make fire, where do I know that there are so many twists and turns, and willow wood is used in spring...... Mu Qing looked at what was in his hand, and he couldn't even tell what kind of wood it was.
Li Qianyu looked at him in a daze as if he was entertained, he put his hand into his sleeve, took out a pale yellow bamboo tube, and handed it over. Mu Qing took it, pulled the plug, and saw a faint spark inside.
Isn't this just a fire break?
Mu Qing suddenly felt that what he had just done was really a bit ...... Foolish.
Secretly glanced at Li Qianyu's expression, the man was actually laughing. Mu Qing lowered his head lonely, as if the whole person was covered with dark clouds, I am afraid that the person in front of him was already laughing at him for being stupid.
Silently lit the charcoal stove under the stone table with a fire fold, and slowly, the cold in the pavilion gradually dissipated a lot, Li Qianyu's expression relaxed, it seemed that as long as he saw that Mu Qing was unhappy, Zhuang Wang Ye would be happier.
Maybe this is also a tacit understanding.
===============================================================================
After staying in the pavilion for a while, watching the sky overcast and the sun was just right, the two left the pavilion.
There are few people in the suburbs, and now it is not a New Year's Festival, and it is naturally even more deserted, and from a distance, there are only the two of them. Mu Qing looked brisk, if there were a lot of troubles and schemes in the high walls of the capital, but after coming out, he felt that his head was much clearer, at least a lot happier.
Mu Qing turned his head to look at Li Qianyu, and unexpectedly, that person was also looking at him, the two of them looked at each other, and suddenly there were a lot of ambiguities that were difficult to explain.
But silence followed.
"Ahem." Mu Qing interrupted the slightly embarrassing silence, and he said to Li Qianyu with a smile, "Counting it, it's been some time since I came to the suburbs to look for Brother Li last time. ”
Li Qianyu walked leisurely, looking up at the warm sun slightly, it seemed that the sun was too strong, Li Qianyu raised the fan in his hand slightly to block it. When Mu Qing looked at him, he saw the sunlight shining through the hollow place of the jade bone fan, reflecting on the person's face, there was a bright and dark light. The wide sleeves slid slightly because of the movement of raising the hand, revealing the wrist that was as smooth as snow.
Mu Qing looked at it, and looked, and only felt that this was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Li Qianyu didn't seem to notice Mu Qing's eyes, and said lightly: "Now this king wants to invite Chengming to run the horse, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
Mu Qing lowered his eyes, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is also a good thing, if you get along like that from time to time, you will inevitably tire your head." ”
The implication of this sentence is that it is better for the two of them to see each other less, and when they meet, they also use words to test or ridicule each other, if there is a slight fork, I don't know how many incidents will arise, but now I am so cold and indifferent.
Li Qianyu naturally understood what Mu Qing meant, but he gently looked at the light through the fan, and his voice seemed to be a little warm by the afternoon sun: "This king did not grow up beside his mother when he was a child, but grew up beside Liu Guifei, and the relationship with the imperial brother was good at that time. Saying that, Li Qianyu laughed, "The age difference between this king and Chengming is a few years old, and the imperial brother often takes me and Chengming to find Mr. Liu." ”
Mu Qing lowered his head, he naturally knew who the imperial brother in his mouth was. is the eldest prince, Li Chengming's father, and that Mr. Liu is probably Liu Shiren.
Mu Qing's silence did not sweep away Li Qianyu's interest, he still walked slowly and leisurely, and his voice was also very calm: "Mr. Liu likes me and Chengming very much, and we can only worship him as a teacher under the recommendation of the imperial brother." At that time, the royal brother taught the king to ride and shoot, and the king's first bow and arrow was given by him, which was very exquisite, and I used him to hunt a deer. ”
"Brother Li is a young hero." Mu Qing praised it lightly, maybe there was something in his heart, but he lost his usual enthusiasm.
Li Qianyu laughed, it was the kind of peaceful and shallow smile, he didn't seem to notice the difference between Mu Qing, but his eyes were still cold and scary: "It's just that when this king strangled a fox with the bowstring of that bow, the fox came out with black blood, and this king broke the bow." ”
Mu Qing frowned when he heard this, and looked at Li Qianyu: "Poisoned? ”
"Yes, this king's good royal brother, he has always only hoped that this king will die." Li Qianyu walked to a shaded place with a slight slope of grass at his feet. He put away the fan and sat down, his voice was not salty or light, as if he was not talking about his own affairs, "Even if he later knew that this king was just born of a concubine and his status was not noble, he did not have the intention of killing this king." ”
But in Mu Qing's ears, he was horrified, the child who had just learned to ride and shoot was afraid that he was only five years old, and such a small child would be poisoned, it was simply mad!
Li Qianyu sat on the grass, one leg straightened and the other leg curled up, his eyes looked into the distance, and said lightly: "Do you think the imperial brother is too cruel?" ”
Mu Qing stood, did not sit, and nodded when he heard the words: "Yes." ”
Li Qianyu sneered: "But this king only thinks he is stupid." As he spoke, his hand gently pinched a piece of grass, and pressed slightly, "If it is this king, he will definitely not use poisoning, but will drown directly and cleanly." ”
Mu Qing pursed his lips, obviously he was vicious and cruel, but Mu Qing heard something else. In this sentence, there is clearly some incomprehensible feelings, which makes Mu Qing feel a little awkward.
With such emotion, I am afraid that I heard from Song Qianyi that Li Muyan was poisoned. It's just that in addition to this, Mu Qing also heard some others.
He remembers the matter of the eldest prince very clearly.
He simply lowered his body, but instead of sitting, he lay directly beside Li Qianyu and looked up at Li Qianyu's face.
Looking at this person from below, the face is still good-looking.
"Brother Li, have you heard about me?" Mu Qing smiled, and said to himself without waiting for Li Qianyu to answer, "I was born in the Mu family, I don't know my father, my mother died early, I have lived in a dilapidated house since I was a child, and I was kicked out by my aunt when I was dying. Counting it up, the Mu family sent me like a dog, simple and ordinary. ”
Hearing this, Li Qianyu lowered his head and looked at Mu Qing's eyes.
Mu Qing looked at him and smiled, and his tone was brisk: "But now I have an official body and a dependence, and they have fallen into prison and become prisoners under the ranks." Brother Li, I should taunt them at this time, and then make them envious, jealous and hateful, so that I can relieve my anger. ”
Li Qianyu glanced at him: "You won't." ”
Mu Qing put his arms behind his head and sighed, "Yes, I won't." ”
The matter between him and the Mu family is like a bad book, and it can't be calculated. I can't tell who owes whom, and I can't tell who has failed whom, after all, it has become a ball of hemp rope, and I can't untie it.
But in the end, Mu Qing couldn't do what he said.
To step on someone else when they fall into the dirt? That's a bit stingy.
"Blood relatives are the connection of blood, and they are constantly parted. Cannibalism is afraid that even if you go to hell, you will not be at peace. Mu Qing moved his eyes from Li Qianyu's face to the clear blue sky, looked at the thin clouds like smoke floating above, and said in a faint voice, "Just ask for a clear conscience, and the two don't owe each other." ”
"You mean, let this king forgive the royal brother for what he did?" Li Qianyu sneered when he heard this, he turned over slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed Mu Qing's chest, so that this person couldn't move, and then looked at each other, his face became cold, "The Heavenly Family is a ruthless and loveless place, don't use your messy feelings to convince this king, this king is not rare." To hell? This king is not afraid. ”
Mu Qing felt the coldness of the man's palm, sighed in his heart, but directly reached out and covered the back of the man's hand. Li Qianyu frowned and wanted to get rid of him, but unexpectedly, Mu Qing directly grabbed his wrist and refused to let go.
"Bold." Li Qianyu frowned.
Mu Qing calmly continued to be "bold", then raised his upper body slightly, approached the man's face, and when his breath was audible, he whispered: "I didn't forgive anyone for you, I just told you, don't say those cruel words," his eyes were as dark as night, and his words were low like ghosts, "He owes you like that, how you treat him, it's just that he does it to himself, he uses all his heart to calculate you, but you still remember the one by one, it's too painful." ”
Li Qianyu was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that his arm was being pulled, and the next moment, Li Qianyu felt that his body was unstable and went straight forward, and his forehead was just on Mu Qing's shoulder.
Then, he heard Mu Qing's indifferent and low voice ringing in his ears: "He wants your life, why do you have to think about him a lot in your heart?" It is impossible for everything to go well in life, rather than waiting here to be harmed, I would rather you harm others, at least protect yourself. ”
Li Qianyu's face changed when he heard this, and he forgot to get up from him for a while, and just lay on Mu Qing's shoulder: "If this king is not mistaken, you are the most soft-hearted." ”
"If I can protect you, I'd rather subvert the world." Mu Qing's words were flat and slow, like an oath.
Li Qianyu pursed the corners of his lips imperceptibly: "...... cannibalism, even if you go to hell, you won't be at peace. ”
Mu Qing laughed, and at this time, what he just said, it was hard for this person to remember.
Stretching out his hand, Mu Qing put his warm palm on the person's back, his calm eyes were still looking at the blue sky, and he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.
The wind is high and the clouds are light.
Mu Qing's silence made Li Qianyu frown, he wanted to raise his head to look at the person's face, but this was, he heard Mu Qing's voice slowly ringing in his ears.
"As long as you can accompany you, why go to hell?"
