Chapter Twenty-Three: Ask the Moon

When I left the auspicious class, it was already a willow on the moon.

On the street, lanterns have been hung at the entrances of the shops on both sides, some of them are bright red and some are bright, and they are very festive and conspicuous in the dark night.

Mu Qing promised to drink Li Qianyu's farewell wine, and he was afraid that Annu would leak his mouth about some things, so he wanted to let Annu go back first. I thought that Annu was unwilling, but Annu nodded, just said, "The master should be careful" and left.

followed Li Qianyu to the inn, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lan Ruo guarding at the door. The tiger-eyed guards who followed Li Qianyu along the way saluted lightly when they saw Lan Ruohou, and then bowed down and took the door by the way.

Lan Ruo saw Li Qianyu and Mu Qing, first paused, and then arched his hand: "Master, Mu Gongzi." ”

Mu Qing turned sideways and did not accept the full salute, while Li Qianyu glanced at him and did not say much.

Since he called the son of the person next to him, instead of directly pulling out a knife and beheading him on the spot, it shows that this person has nothing to do with the eldest emperor's brother. The expression on Li Qianyu's face relaxed a little without a trace, and he walked inside, Mu Qing, who was beside him, didn't know that he unconsciously turned around in front of the ghost gate, but he felt that Lan Ruo didn't talk to him anymore and was relieved.

=============================================================================

The first floor of the inn is a place to eat, perhaps because of the instructions in advance, the field has been emptied. After the two of them sat down, someone served dishes one after another, not much, but there was fish and meat, and Mu Qing was very satisfied.

Before eating, Mu Qing still poured himself a cup of tea. Naturally, he couldn't drink alcohol because of his injuries, so he used tea instead. Raising the teacup, Mu Qing stood up and said, "Thank you for Brother Li's care these days." ”

Li Qianyu picked up the wine glass, the glass was not small, and it was the taste of mellow wine: "Count it out, you saved my life, and this cup should be honored by me." "Bring it to your mouth and drink it all.

Mu Qing looked at him, and his jade-like face was already faintly red just a glass of wine. Mu Qing waved his hand: "I have thanked you for this, and I have paid tribute to it, so let's stop it, I think it's more important to eat." ”

Li Qianyu naturally noticed that this person's eyes had been staring at the dishes on the table, and he smiled faintly, after there was no suspicion, Mu Qing's calmness made Li Qianyu like it a little more. He didn't drink well and wouldn't be strong, so he moved his chopsticks. Mu Qing was not polite to him, rolled up his sleeves and started eating, but a few pieces of osmanthus cake obviously couldn't fill the stomach that had been empty since noon.

Hungry people always eat quickly, and when Mu Qing felt that he was full, he saw Li Qianyu looking at him with his chin in his hands, because he had drunk a little blood, his face was light and faint, but because of the candlelight, he was a little warmer.

"I'm hungry." Mu Qing was a little embarrassed.

Li Qianyu smiled and didn't care much.

His eyes turned to the rabbit lantern that Mu Qing had lifted all the way and was now putting aside, stretched out his hand, picked it up, and put it in front of him to see: "There are still lanterns for sale." ”

"Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, there is a full moon every month." Mu Qing answered, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little. The person in front of him is a departure from his hometown this time, and I'm afraid he won't like this Mid-Autumn Festival. And he is separated from his family for an unknown number of years, and it seems that he will never see him again.

Who knows, Li Qianyu did not have any loneliness and sadness on his face, he still had a shallow smile, and his eyes were like a deep pool.

"Mu Qing has ever thought about it, why is it a scholar?" Li Qianyu put the lantern on the windowsill on the side, then turned his head and asked.

This question is too general and grandiose, and if he says that he has done his best for the country and the people, he himself does not believe it. He thinks about power, money, and things that are so vulgar that they can't be more vulgar, but when he is promoted to the aspect of pursuit, he must embody the art of speaking.

Money and beauty, wealth and love, the same thing, but apparently the latter seems much more noble.

Li Qianyu glanced at him, seeing that Mu Qing didn't react, the smile on his face faded: "It's just idle talk, but it's okay to say it." ”

"Then I'll leave it at that." Mu Qing looked at him, a pair of peach-blossom-like eyes with a clear look, "I want to settle down, I want to make a life, I want my name to be engraved in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty." I don't want to live a mediocre life, I don't want to be rich and glorious, I just want to reach the world! ”

What was in Li Qianyu's eyes flashed in an instant.

This sentence can be called rebellious, even crazy, but Li Qianyu feels comfortable to listen to.

Competing for the crown prince, snatching the throne, and obtaining the supremacy, what you seek is not a high bed and soft pillow delicacies, but power, prestige, a hundred calls, and tens of thousands of people.

Li Qianyu's thoughts and desires are nothing more than that.

But he's done too much for it.

Those blood, lives, countless escapes from death and planning and calculations, in exchange for derogatory fiefdoms and never return to Beijing.

Sad, ridiculous!

"You're a rebel." Li Qianyu said this, his heart seemed to be burning, but his hand poured himself a glass of wine steadily.

Li Qianyu bent the corners of his lips: "It's just a momentary laugh." ”

"But it's true, right?"

"If you say it's true, it's true."

Li Qianyu didn't ask anymore, raised his head and drank another glass of wine, and his face became more and more flushed: "Cool!" ”

Mu Qing didn't answer him, but poured him another glass.

Li Qianyu took it and drank it all in one gulp, and there was a mist rising in his eyes. He looked at Mu Qing and raised it slightly: "Is there a poem?" ”

Mu Qing was also unambiguous, and sang with a bang.

When does the moon come in the blue sky, I will stop the cup today and ask: people can't climb the bright moon, but the moon walks with people? Bright as a flying mirror, the green smoke is extinguished? But seeing that the night came from the sea, would you rather know that Xiang Yunjian did? The white rabbit pounds medicine in autumn and spring, who is Chang'e's neighbor in solitude? Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients. If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together. I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle.

Li Qianyu smiled, holding a wine glass and pointing at him: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is early, how can you make poems about the Mid-Autumn Festival?" When punished, when punished. But after that, he shook his head again, "But it is a good poem and a good sentence, people today do not see the ancient times and months, and this month used to be like the ancients...... Hehe. ”

Mu Qing looked at him, reached out and pressed his hand holding the wine jug, feeling that this person's hand was a little cold, his heart only moved slightly, and the expression on his face couldn't be softer: "You are drunk." ”

"It's good to be drunk, I'm not drunk yet." Li Qianyu brushed his hand away and drank it directly at the wine jug.

People who are drunk say they are not drunk.

Mu Qing had the intention to stop him, but looking at Lan Ruo behind him, his face was expressionless, and he didn't have anything to do. Although Li Qianyu seems to have a slender body, he is seven years older than Mu Qing after all, so naturally Mu Qing can't control it.

A jug of wine was poured into the man's mouth, and then he sat up straight against the wall, but his eyes were closed and unconscious.

Even if he was drunk and fell asleep, Li Qianyu still had a straight back, he couldn't talk nonsense or babble, he was square and obedient, even his hands were tightly curled up in the wide sleeves without missing the slightest trace.

"Brother Li, you're drunk." Mu Qing didn't know if this person could hear it, so he leaned forward slightly and took down the wine jug that this person was still holding in his hand and put it aside.

Turning his head and looking at him, Li Qianyu, who was asleep, was much more calm and peaceful than when he woke up, but his eyebrows were still tightly frowned together, and they never separated. Ruyu's face was a little red, faint, in this flickering candle flame, breathtaking.

Mu Qing quieted down, his hand touching the person's fingertips. Almost subconsciously, he wrapped his palms around the man's slightly cold fingertips, waiting for him to be slowly warmed up.

Leaning against the wall with him, Mu Qing stared at the snow-white rabbit lantern by the window in a daze.

From the very beginning of the encounter, it was deliberate and calculating, and then Mu Qing was always energetic, thinking, planning, even the slightest expression had to be carefully planned.

I didn't have half of my sincerity, but in the end, I got the true temperament of this person for a moment.

Is it worth it?

It's worth it.

As for whether it is to have a future or to keep this person in mind, Mu Qing himself can't say clearly.

It was already late at night when Mu Qing left, and he left alone, his thin figure quickly hiding in the night.

Lan Ruomu saw him leave, and then walked to Li Qianyu's side to help him up, but saw that the unconscious man who had just been drunk slowly opened his eyes. Although there is still this bright red on his face, his eyes are clear.

Brushing away Lan Ruo's hand, Li Qianyu stood up by himself holding on to the wall.

Walking slowly to the window, the autumn night wind blows on your face, and it makes people clear up almost instantly. Li Qianyu looked at the dark night outside, his narrow eyes turned to the lantern at hand, and his warm fingertips slowly stretched out, touched the head of the rabbit lantern, the lantern shook, and the candlelight inside also flickered.

Li Qianyu exhaled lightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was as clear as water: "Lan Ruo, this king must know this person's every move in the future." ”

"No."
