Chapter 786: Great General
One person's journey became two people, and the speed was obviously much slower, and Qiushui drove the carriage as smoothly as possible, so as not to make the injured Mo Ling in the carriage aggravated by the bumps.
Mo Ling was a man of few words, and there were only a handful of words to say to her along the way.
The two passed by a tea house, Qiu Shuiman decided to stop the carriage to rest and then continue to hurry, although their speed was much slower, but it should not be delayed to get to Sunset Fort before the county lord of Qiyang and Xiao Jue got married.
"Get out of the car and rest before you go." Qiu Shui Man lifted the curtain, and Mo Ling in the carriage was closing his eyes to recuperate, and he slowly opened his eyes when he heard Qiu Shuiman's voice.
There were not many guests eating tea in Chaliao, so Qiushui diǎn a pot of tea and sat down with Mo Ling.
Qiu Shui was eating tea, his eyes swept over the jade pendant tied around Mo Ling's waist, he hesitated for a moment, and asked casually, "Anyway, I can be regarded as saving you, but you can be regarded as my friend?" ”
Hearing this, Mo Ling's action of eating tea slowed down, pursed his wet lips, lowered his eyes and put down the tea bowl, his voice was indifferent and detached, "So what do you want from me?" ”
He never believed that there would be no return for what he wanted.
Xu has the effect of moistening his throat, and his voice at the moment sounds as clear as jade, very pleasant, but the deep vigilance in his tone is a little unexpected.
However, because of this, Qiu Shuiman became more and more convinced that his identity must be unusual, how could an ordinary person be seriously injured, and his guard against people was much higher than that of ordinary people.
After taking a sip of tea, Qiu Shui looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Since you are so direct, I won't beat around the bush with you, but at the moment you don't have anything for me to do, I just want to know who I am saving?" ”
Mo Ling's face was still expressionless, and the tone of her answer was even more indifferent without a trace of affection, "No comment." ”
Qiu Shuiman raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had expected him to say this, "It's not a secret, I'm going to Sunset Fort this time, and I heard that the county lord of Qiyang and the concubine will get married in a few days, and I will also join in the fun." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Mo Ling's expression.
In front of the pawnshop, although Mo Ling was seriously injured, he knew that he was not an ordinary person by looking at the clothes on his body and the accessories he carried, and in recent days, in addition to the Qiyang County Lord ↘dǐng↘diǎn↘ Xiaoshu ↘, .▲.⊕os_(); There was no major event other than the wedding, so Qiu Shuiman boldly guessed that maybe Mo Ling's trip might be related to the wedding of the county lord of Qiyang.
Sure enough, Qiu Shuiman really caught a trace of different color in Mo Ling's eyes.
"Who are you? Isn't Mo a guest she invited? Mo Ling raised his eyes and looked at the son in front of him, he was handsome, although he lacked a man's masculinity, but he had a sense of nobility in his gestures, and he wanted to have a good status.
Qiu Shui raised his lips and smiled, "You don't want to reveal your identity, why should I tell you this?" ”
Mo Ling tugged at the corners of his lips, but didn't speak again after all.
Seeing his attitude, Qiu Shui Man was not reluctant, but said, "After drinking this bowl of tea, we will continue to hurry, and strive to find a place to stay before dark, and we will be able to reach Sunset Fort early the day after tomorrow." ”
"You're going to take me with you to Sunset Fort?" Mo Ling suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight at the autumn water.
"You won't tell me who you are, and I don't know where you're going, so I have to take you to Sunset Castle, but when the time comes, whatever you want, I won't stop you."
Mo Ling was silent and said no more.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected this unfamiliar road, and Qiu Shuiman gradually accelerated her speed, she thought that she could get some news from him if she saved Mo Ling.
But it seems unlikely at the moment, and if she can't gain Mo Ling's trust, I'm afraid that her delay will be meaningless, and the day of marriage is imminent, and she doesn't have much time to test each other with him.
As soon as you arrive at Sunset Fort, you will naturally have an answer.
Two days later.
On the bustling streets of Sunset Fort, the autumn water drove a horse-drawn carriage slowly on the street.
After several days of traveling, she inevitably felt tired, but the moment she stepped into Sunset Castle, it seemed that all her tiredness had been left behind, and she finally got closer to him.
Even Mo Ling, who was silent along the way, lifted the curtain and looked around at the lively street market, and his dark eyes seemed to hide feelings that were difficult for ordinary people to see.
"We've been on the road for a long time, so let's find a place to fill our stomachs before we go." Qiu Shuiman looked back at Mo Ling in the carriage and said.
Mo Ling looked at Qiu Shui Man and responded silently.
After a few steps, the two stopped in front of a restaurant, Qiu Shui Man jumped out of the carriage, and then got Mo Lingfu out of the carriage.
The moment Mo Ling looked up and saw the inn, his face changed suddenly, although it was only for a moment, it did not escape Qiu Shuiman's eyes.
"What's wrong? Have you been here? ”
"Nothing." Mo Ling still replied indifferently, he shook off Qiu Shuiman's hand and wanted to go by himself, but unexpectedly, a center of gravity was unstable and almost fell, and he could hold on to the door frame.
"The injuries on your body won't heal for a while, there's no need to be reckless." Although his injuries were not fatal, they would have to be recuperated for at least a while.
Mo Ling was silent, and walked slowly towards an empty table.
As soon as the two sat down, Qiu Shuiman was attracted by a noisy voice at the door of the restaurant.
At the head was a tall man, about thirty years old, with a beard, a rough appearance, a steady gait, an extraordinary dress, and a breathtaking spirit both inside and out.
Qiu Shui Man was unfamiliar with the place, and he didn't pay attention to it, but he caught a glimpse of Mo Ling's gaze also on the pedestrian.
Could it be that Mo Ling knows them?
Qiu Shui Man was puzzled, frowned suddenly, and after the man led by him settled his subordinates, he was already walking towards them.
"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"
The man's deep voice carried the courage that could not be refused, and Qiu Shui smiled slightly, "Please." ”
The man was polite and sat down opposite Mo Ling. His eyes seemed to sweep over Mo Ling unintentionally, and his eyes were gloomy, and when he saw this, he was silent.
"Seeing that Childe has an extraordinary temperament, he must be a big man, but I am from a small place, and I don't know Childe's surname?"
The man glanced at Qiu Shui Man meaningfully, and spit out a few words lightly, "Mu Xiaonan." ”
"General Mu Xiaonan." Mo Ling, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
Qiu Shuiman's eyes flashed slightly, along the way, she had heard that the lord of Qiyang County had a big wedding, and invited many big people from her country, and the man in front of her was the rumored general Mu Xiaonan.
Take a closer look, and then look at the subordinates he carried, all of them are practitioners, and they really have a bit of the momentum of a general.
"It turned out to be a general, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"What about you? Don't know the girl's name? Mu Xiaonan suddenly approached the autumn water, and the smile in his eyes was deep.
As soon as he said this, Qiushui suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a cold aura suddenly appeared around him.
And Mo Ling was immediately stunned, and looked at Qiu Shuiman with a slight surprise. He stayed with her for two days, but he didn't realize that she was a woman, and when he thought of this, Mo Ling only felt a chill.
Qiu Shuiman thought that he was in good disguise, at least he didn't even notice Mo Ling beside him when he came all the way, but this Mu Xiaonan saw her as soon as he saw her, and he saw her woman's identity, this person, I'm afraid it's not simple.
Collecting the doubts in his heart, Qiu Shui responded calmly, "Qiu Shui Man, just a nobody, the general has a good look." ”
Hearing Qiu Shuiman's own admission, Mo Ling's gaze became more and more complicated, he was really careless, and he didn't even notice whether the people around him were men or women.
Mu Xiaonan laughed, and even praised Qiushuiman's courage. He is a cheerful person, diǎn a table of good wine and good food, and chatted with Qiushui very happily.
"So the general is here this time to attend the wedding ceremony of the county lord of Qiyang?" Qiu Shuiman asked with a smile as he played with the teacup in his hand.
"The girl guessed right, I wonder why the girl is here like this?"
Qiu Shui listened to it, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled a little, "Coincidentally, after hearing about the deeds of the county lord of Qiyang, I was very admired and curious in my heart, so I came to Sunset Castle, hoping to have the demeanor of the county lord, but my status is low, but I am afraid that I am not qualified enough." ”
When Mu Xiaonan heard this, he was not in a hurry to answer, but instead set his eyes on Mo Ling, "This son should be able to lead you there." ”
Qiu Shuiman shook his head, glanced at Mo Ling, who was expressionless, and said with a wry smile, "The general has misunderstood. ”
Mu Xiaonan glanced at Mo Ling, with an expression that I understood.
"But having said that, I have a reluctant request......" Qiu Shui looked at Mu Xiaonan and stopped talking.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Can the general take me to the wedding ceremony of the county lord of Qiyang?"
Mu Xiaonan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qiu Shuiman, there was a slight surprise in his eyes, a little appreciation, and at the end, he laughed loudly, "Since the girl has spoken, I don't think there is any reason to refuse the girl." ”
After a few people were full of wine and food, Mu Xiaonan got up and left to arrange for his men to prepare for the road. And Mo Ling, who had never said a word in the restaurant, suddenly spoke, "I should keep in mind the girl's life-saving grace, and I can't repay it, so I will give this thing to the girl." ”
As he spoke, Mo Ling took out a drop-shaped jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Shuiman.
"You don't have to worry about it, I won't ask you where you want to go." Qiu Shui faintly declined Mo Ling's kindness.
On the way here, she said that she wouldn't care where he wanted to go.
"I don't like to owe anyone, it's better for the girl to accept this thing than to never let it go." Knowing that she was a woman, Mo Ling unconsciously relaxed her vigilance.
With that, he stood up, and because of his injury, his face showed a little pain, and he was able to hold on to the table before he stabilized himself.
"Okay, I'll take it." Qiu Shui responded, took Mo Ling's jade pendant and put it away carefully, took out some silver taels and handed them to Mo Ling, and continued, "But use these silver taels to exchange with you, your body is inconvenient, so you can use them." ”
Mo Ling didn't insist this time, and left after receiving the cashier.
