Chapter 112: One Step Late
Chapter 112 is one step late
Mu Qingyan looked away, stared at Mu Qianxun's eyes for a moment, put on a straight face, took out a bit of his brother's style, and said in a deep voice: "Xun'er?
"Otherwise, I almost died at the time, and you haven't seen it, second brother. If it weren't for Su Ran, I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, but he is my benefactor. This time, I have traveled thousands of miles to deliver the message, and I should thank them even more!"
Mu Qianxun replied seriously, and looked at Mu lightly without concealment, and his eyes were clear.
Mu Qingyan was no longer more serious, but he had some doubts in his heart, shouldn't the pavilion master of Xingya Pavilion be very powerful? Why did he easily fall for the Gu of Jin Qianxin's mother and daughter? Xu was defenseless and simple-minded.
The stuffiness in the carriage was at night again, and it was really a little depressing, and it couldn't breathe.
Mu Qianxun was fiddling with her clothes, bored and tight, when she heard Mu Youchen calling her outside: "Xun'er, come out! It's not windy tonight, come out and breathe." ”
Mu Qianxun's eyes flashed brightly, and he jumped out with a swish, and the speed was astonishing.
Mu Qingyan took Xiao Luo in his arms, sniffed her soft hair, and sighed leisurely: "Alas! ”
Xiao Luo struggled slightly, stopped moving, and said angrily: "I'm also a woman, next time I'll stay away and say this!"
"Well, you are the same, didn't you just kidnap me?" Mu Qingyan leaned over to Xiao Luo and smiled and teased.
"Get out, be careful I hang you up and beat!"
"Luo Luo can't save me some face, there are still people watching this!" said this, but he didn't bother to glance at Su Ran, and only Xiao Luo was reflected in his eyes.
Su Ran smiled embarrassedly, and her heart was about to burst into tears, it turned out that they still knew their existence!
You can't be a little more restrained, what's wrong with the people now, Mu Youchen and Mu Qianxun are like this, and now they are like this.
Don't they all say, Xia Min's style is conservative, if there is no one talking about love here, how can you explain it!
Outside the car, the sky was full of stars shining with intoxicating brilliance, a quarter moon hung above the sky, the silvery white light shrouded the earth, and the empty surroundings were silent, only the sound of chariots and horses galloping.
Mu Qianxun leaned on Mu Youchen's arms, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and his thoughts drifted far away.
"Xun'er, at this rate, in three days, we will be able to rush back to the imperial city. Reaching out and pulling her cloak, her voice was as gentle as ever.
Mu Qianxun raised his head, his cheeks pouted to his chin, and said in surprise: "Three days? It's fast enough, how can I usually get seven days." I've worked hard for you, I've been tired these days, aren't you?"
Looking at the blue complexion around his eyes, he couldn't stop feeling distressed.
"Isn't there Xun'er to help me?" Mu Youchen smiled indifferently and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"I've only been in a hurry for a long time, and the rest of the time, it's not all you. The muffled voice was mixed with a hint of guilt.
The faces of the two changed suddenly, Mu Youchen pulled the reins, and the horse slowly stopped, irritably spinning in place.
Xiao Luo opened the curtain, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he looked ahead vigilantly, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright in the night.
Like the black-clothed people who chased and killed Su Ran before, they came up densely and swept roughly, about thirty people.
Mu Qianxun stroked his forehead and scolded lightly: "Is it a leek, how to cut off one stubble after another!"
Xiao Luo frowned and asked puzzledly, "Does the pavilion master know?"
"Sort of, I know their accomplices, I only killed them all last night, and here again tonight!" Mu Qianxun shrugged, his eyes full of solemnity.
She wasn't worried that these people in front of her could hurt them, but she kept pestering like this, and the matter of returning to the imperial city would be delayed again, and Old Lady Mu's body couldn't afford to wait for them.
Mu Youchen sighed, took out a snow-white pill the size of a pigeon's egg from his arms, wrapped it in a piece of soil, and threw it forward with all his might, flying far away, disappearing from sight.
Mu Qianxun stared at Mu Youchen painfully, and her nose wrinkled: "It's a pity, that's a teacher... It's something that was hard to get, something to save their lives, and it's used on them, alas!"
Mu Youchen pinched her nose and said funny and angry: "Xun'er is really a money fan, time is of the essence!"
In the direction where the man in black came, thick smoke suddenly billowed and fog rushed into the sky. It took a while for the smoke to clear, but I didn't see the man in black approaching again.
Mu Youchen patted the horse's head, sprinkled a layer of golden powder on its nostrils, jumped into the carriage, and shouted, "Cover your nose!"
As soon as he pulled the reins, the horses galloped wildly, and soon left the men in black behind.
Xiao Luo was also shocked, but it was just a small pill, and the man in black actually overwhelmed it in black.
Swallowing his saliva, he asked weakly, "They won't be... They're all dead, aren't they?"
"How can it be so exaggerated, it's just fainting! If there is such an elixir in the world that can cause death, then it must not be messed with. ”
Mu Qianxun rolled her eyes, secretly despised Xiao Luo in her heart, her idea was too interesting.
The trouble in front of me is solved, but there is only one **, and there is no more after using it.
In the days that followed, they were hunted down and killed every night, and those people seemed to grow out of the ground, and they could not be killed, and they could not be killed!
Mu Qianxun finally realized what it was like to kill people and kill softly, she really didn't want to lift a sword again in her life.
Now that I see the people in black, I don't treat them as human beings at all, just like cutting vegetables, I will subconsciously swing my sword to go to the hurdle.
Originally, it was expected to reach the imperial city in three days, but now it was dragged on the fourth day to reach the city gate.
Mu Mansion, in the Warm Heart Pavilion.
Mrs. Mu, who had been in a coma for several days, suddenly woke up, grabbed Mu Ruoyun's hand, and her eyes were full of love:
"Xun'er, Xun'er! You're finally back, you're back to see grandma? Grandma is content to see you when she is dying. ”
Mu Ruoyun's crying pear blossoms brought rain, the chill in her eyes was blocked by the mist, she held Mrs. Mu's hand tightly, and whimpered:
"Grandma, grandma, hold on! My sister has come back from the message, and she is already halfway there, and she will be home soon!
At the gates of the city, at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the gates of the city were closed.
Mu Youchen frowned, and shouted towards the city tower: "Open the door!"
The city tower is too high, smooth and there is no place to borrow strength, and the imperial city is the lifeblood of the entire Xia Kingdom, and the guards are extremely strict, not a top master like Mo Xue, and he can't climb into it at all.
I shouted several times, but I didn't see anyone to take care of it, and my throat was about to burst.
Mu Mansion, Mrs. Mu's condition is getting worse and worse, her pulse is weak, her breath is not smooth, her body is getting colder and colder, and even if the quilt on her body is piled up into a hill, she will not get any better.
Outside the city gate, a guard guarding the city swaggered close to the city wall and arrogantly reprimanded: "Who is under the city!
"Open the door quickly, I am King Ling!"
"King Ling, His Royal Highness King Ling is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is not in the imperial city at all, so he is less than me!"
Mu Youchen was almost angry with the guard with the elm head, and patiently explained: "Can't you come back if you don't have in the imperial city?
Mu Youchen's attitude was too strong, and the guard couldn't help but believe it, hesitated for a moment, and still went down the city wall.
Across the city gate, the guard spoke, and his tone was a little more respectful: "Please also ask Your Highness to hand the token in through the door opening, and the subordinates will confirm it before opening the door!"
Mu Youchen impatiently stuffed the token in, but in a moment, the city gate was half opened.
Before the guard could see the true face of this Royal Highness King Ling, the token in his hand was taken away, and the carriage rushed straight in, running away in a few moments.
Mu Mansion, Grandma Mu looked painful, her shriveled hands clenched the corners of her back tightly, and she murmured indistinctly: "Xun'er... Looking for children..."
Mu Xi's face was pale, his hands were behind his back, his bones were about to be crushed, and he glared at Lang Zhong who was full of rooms: "Is there really no way?"
Everyone looked left and right to ask their peers around them, but they all shook their heads and said nothing.
An elderly man took a step forward and sighed faintly:
"Alas, Mrs. Mu's illness is too peculiar, and our medical skills are shallow, so I really can't see why. Even... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight, so Master Mu should prepare for the aftermath earlier!"
Mu Xi's face turned pale for a while, and he sat at the head of the bed, frowning.
The carriage sped by, flashing shadows on the bustling streets.
At the gate of Mu Mansion, Mu Qianxun ran back desperately, the gate of Mu Mansion, which had always been closed, was now open, and he entered the Warm Heart Pavilion all the way unimpeded, and his heart was beating fast as if he was about to jump out.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard of the Warm Heart Pavilion, I heard a heart-rending cry: "Mother!"
"Grandma, woo~"
Mu Qianxun's face was pale and pale, all kinds of tastes came to his heart, his eyes were dull, and his tears couldn't stop falling. Holding back the turmoil in his heart, holding on to the last vestiges of illusion, he pushed open the door.
I saw Mu Xi and Mu Ruoyun standing by the bed, and Mrs. Mu was lying there quietly, so quiet that she couldn't even feel her breathing.
As if his throat was blocked by something, he finally made a sound: "Grandma!"
Mu Xi turned his head and looked at Mu Qianxun's eyes were complicated, and it was not difficult to see the deep disappointment.
Mu Qingyan followed them in, standing in front of the door, and the room was silent.
Mu Xi's grief-stricken voice sounded: "You two come here, kneel!"
Mu Qianxun obediently knelt in front of Mrs. Mu's bed, grabbed Mrs. Mu's already cold and stiff hand, put it on her face, and held it hard, crying heartbreakingly, and her intermittent voice spread:
"Grandma... Grandmother... You open your eyes... Look at Xun'er, Xun'er is back... It's back... Looking for a child is not filial! Grandmother... You can't leave your child behind... Grandma!"
Mu Youchen knelt beside her and hugged her shoulders, really not knowing how to comfort her.
