At night, Mu Qing sat alone in the house reading a book, and suddenly there was a faint flute sound in his ears, the flute sound was soothing and soft, as if far away in the clouds and close to the ear, ethereal and ethereal.

Mu Qing lowered his eyes and smiled, slowly put down the book in his hand, and walked to the window. At night, the intricate arrangement of palaces and pavilions gives people a sense of oppression, and the red bricks and green tiles are all rendered into ink. Mu Qing looked out of the empty window, and seemed to mutter: "Since you're here, let's come in quickly, what are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, a head immediately poked out from the window lattice, it was the leader of the Lingshan Gang who had always been bohemian. Qiu Feng hung upside down on the eaves and said with a displeased face: "Tut-tut! You have really stayed in this vulgar palace for a long time, and you can't even appreciate my fresh and refined flute sound, hey....the world is really hard to find! ”

Mu Qing ignored Qiu Feng's crazy words, turned around and sat down at the table, and drank tea slowly. Qiu Feng saw that Mu Qing didn't care about himself, so he had to shut up boringly, and jumped into the house. He walked to Mu Qing in three steps and sat down beside Mu Qing, crossed his legs, supported his head with one hand, and did not have the slightest restraint as a guest.

Mu Qing politely poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qiu Feng, and asked softly, "Is the matter going smoothly outside?" ”

Qiu Feng shook his head proudly, "Don't worry." With my Qiu Daguan here, I will ensure that you can sit back and relax! Presumably Taowu has already told you that King Rui is not suspicious of us, and as for his request to review the matter of Yun Xiang's rebellion, we can also fool the past for the time being. ”

"Well, I'm in the palace, and I have a lot of inconveniences, and I still have to trouble you to come forward for many things."

Qiu Feng pursed his lips and said impatiently: "Worry about this and that all day long, are you tired?" How's your body lately? Are there any abnormalities? Reach out and I'll show you. ”

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, lowered his head to hide the weakness in his eyes, and had to reluctantly stretch out his wrist.

Qiu Feng's heart sank when he saw her, and his brows became tighter and tighter after he finished his pulse. He looked up at Mu Qing's slightly pale face and asked coldly, "You already know?" ”

Mu Qing shrugged absently, "The body is its own, and it can be perceived to some extent." ”

Qiu Feng's dark pupils seemed to be ink that couldn't be dissolved, and he asked, "Are there red spots on your body?" ”

The Lingshan Gang has always been known for its treachery, but what really frightens the people in the rivers and lakes is the trick of the Lingshan Gang to make good use of poisons. As long as it is a brother in the gang, even the lowest-ranking minions will use one or two poisons, and Qiu Feng, as the leader of the gang, is naturally familiar with the strange poisons and strange Gu in the world. Mu Qing knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to say calmly: "A few days ago, when Zhu Yu bathed me, I did find a piece, but it was only the size of a fingernail. ”

Qiu Feng's eyes darkened, and he asked, "Once the red spots appear, do you know what it means?" ”

Mu Qing smiled dismally, but there was a sudden surprise between his eyebrows. "I know, this means that the Gu poison in my body has reached the second stage."

Mu Qing's painless look instantly annoyed Qiu Feng, and he stood up with a 'hoof' and pointed at Mu Qing is scolding. "You know?! Do you know that you still work so hard? Don't let yourself stop for a moment? Looking at your pulse, you must have thought about it every day and didn't sleep until the middle of the night, right? I asked Zhu Yu to follow you into the palace, and I helped you arrange everything outside, just so that you could have some peace of mind. It's good for you to take my words as wind in your ears, you really think that your body is the same as a normal person?! ”

The other party's series of reprimands made Mu Qing feel a little funny, and she was not in a hurry to refute and explain, and obediently admitted her mistake: "You scolded right, it is indeed my fault." ”

"Scolding you?" Qiu Feng lit up his classic big eyes, and said negatively, "Is it useful to scold you?" I'm afraid of wasting my spit! ”

"I understand what you said, with my current condition, I should let go of my illness and recuperate with peace of mind. But you're my best friend, you know me better than anyone else, and you know what a sea of blood and hatred I have on my back. Now that the overall situation is undecided, and many things are going on at a critical moment, how can I give up at this time? ”

Qiu Feng sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "I didn't let you give up, but can you let yourself occasionally slow down, always so tight on a string, not to mention that you are wandering around the door of the ghost gate, even normal people have to get sick." ”

"Because I can't afford to lose!" Mu Qing looked directly at each other, his eyes shining with determination. "I have to think through every detail, calculate every deviation that can occur, and I can't let myself lose because I don't have the time and the possibility to start all over again, you know?" Mu Qing grabbed Qiu Feng's sleeve and said as if pleading, "I promise you, as long as I bring down Huo Pei'an, and then overthrow the forces around Liang Yinhao, then I will..."

Qiu Feng shook off Mu Qing fiercely, his face full of gloom. "You're worried about everything, and you still want to wait to see Huo Pei'an fall? I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it before the end of this year, and it's not certain who will watch who dies first! ”

Mu Qing looked at Qiu Feng's chest that was rising and falling due to anger, and his heart couldn't help but warm, he didn't expect that this seemingly heartless merry gang leader would be angry like this because of himself. She got up and walked to Qiu Feng's side, and said softly: "Isn't there still you!" As long as you're here, I won't be able to die for the time being. ”

Although Qiu Feng is the leader of the gang, his heart is still like a child, and he was coaxed by Mu Qing like this, and most of his anger was gone. However, he still refused to give in lightly, "You don't give me this set!" I don't know what evil my father fell for back then, he would save you such a white-eyed wolf, I knew that you didn't care about your life so much, and you should have died in that wilderness! ”

Mu Qing knew that Qiu Feng was angry, but he was not angry. In fact, she has always been very glad to have such a friend by her side, not only because the forces of the Lingshan Gang behind him can help her fulfill her long-cherished wish, but also because there is such a person in this world, so that she no longer has to pretend and calculate, she can be her truest self without reservation. Mu Qing whispered softly: "It's not that I don't cherish my life, people live for a lifetime, and everyone is afraid of death." Don't I want to live as freely as you do? ”

Qiu Feng asked eagerly: "As long as you want, what can't you?" ”

"I can't!" Mu Qing reversed his indifferent temperament, looked at the dim and desolate night outside the window, and let sadness and sorrow pour out of his chest, with an indescribable sadness, "My life does not belong to me alone, and I can't live freely and freely." The heroic spirit of the deceased is above, there are too many people's grievances waiting for me to redress, they are all looking at me from the sky at the moment, I can't let go! ”

Qiu Feng wanted to say something more, but suddenly a woman's voice came from outside the house

Mu Qing's heart sank, and he said to Qiu Feng: "It's not good, it's Sister Cheng who is here." Hurry up and hide! ”
