Mu Qing had a big question in his heart, and he hoped that the master could help him solve his doubts.

Master Nine nodded, "Yes, that was four years ago. At that time, not long after Miss Wen arrived at Shen's Mansion, Mrs. Shen knew that the teacher was entrusted by the apprentice to see Miss Wen, so she didn't dare to delay, so she immediately invited her out to see her. This matter, for the teacher, I replied to you in the letter afterwards. ”

"What the apprentice remembers, I just want to ask the master again, when you saw Xue Rong, her complexion and other looks okay?" Mu Qing considered his words.

"It's not good, although the person came out, but he wore a mink cloak, and only showed a small face, and his face was pale, which was really pitiful." Master Nine didn't understand what Mu Qing's words meant? Didn't directly say the answer that the former wanted.

After speaking, he was afraid that Mu Qing would be worried, so he hurriedly continued: "However, Feng'er don't worry! Perhaps, in the past few years, Miss Wen's illness has been getting better and better! Think about it, what did her maternal grandfather's house do? The whole family is Langzhong, not to mention, and he is still the largest medicinal herb merchant in Shuzhou, are you still worried about her not being able to heal her? ”

What Master Nine said, Mu Qing recognized it very much, and it was for this reason that the Wen family sent Xue Rong to her grandfather's house to recuperate.

"Master, in fact, the apprentice wants to know, when Xue Rong grows up, she, is she still the same as when she was a child?" After pondering for a while, Mu Qingyi gritted his teeth and directly asked the doubts in his heart!

"Silly boy, how can this girl be like when she was a child? Although she is sick and her complexion is not good, her appearance is still very beautiful, especially the pair of apricot eyes, which are smart and elegant, but beautiful. Master Nine finally got to the point, and when he said that it was beautiful, he squinted at Mu Qing's reaction.

The reaction of the latter, how to say? There are all kinds of flavors, first happy and then worried, and then full of confused expressions.

After hearing Master Jiu say the most important sentence: his appearance is very beautiful, and his apricot eyes are smart and elegant, the doubts in Mu Qing's heart have been confirmed, so he is happy first.

Later, he was worried again, because in addition to the doubt in his heart, it confirmed something he had been worried about, and this worry made him confused at the same time.

Therefore, in just a moment, the expression on Mu Qing's face was subtle and complicated, and Master Nine was distressed.

Master Nine knew that his apprentice had been concerned since he was a child, and he pressed everything in his heart, and he digested it silently, and developed a steady and forbearant character.

Just now, in and out of his words, he was inquiring about the news of Miss Wen, which shows that there must be something strange in it.

However, Mu Qing was reluctant to say that Master Nine would not ask him. He knew that the apprentice would take care of everything.

And what about Mu Qing? After being silent for a long time, the confusion in his heart was not solved at all, but he was not panicked at all, but in an instant, he made a decision again.

The confusion in my heart, let it go for the time being! There is no need to delve into the reasons for this. Best of all, she's doing well now! That's enough.

Thinking of this, although he was mixed and confused, he still breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Master Jiu, and said in a low voice; "Master, this time the apprentice is under the pseudonym Mu Qing for convenience, and there are many official duties, I have to go back first, and I will come to see you next time!"

"Go, go, go! Knowing that you have a special identity, you are busy! The master is also tired, and he has to lie down when he is full of food and drink! After the ninth master finished speaking, he sat down on the chaise longue, lay down casually, yawned twice, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Mu Qing got up, saluted his master respectfully, and then reluctantly turned around and walked out.

Behind him, there was the muttering voice of the ninth master, "Alas, Feng'er is older, and she thinks about her daughter-in-law in her heart, it's very good, is it possible to think about me all day long, a bad old man?" ”

Mu Qing pursed his lips and couldn't hold back a smile, this is Master Jiu complaining about himself aggrievedly, he finally came to see him once, and he tried his best to inquire about his daughter-in-law.

Although I heard it, my footsteps did not stop, and I knew in my heart that Master Nine would not really complain? His old man feels sorry for himself, and he wishes he would get married soon?

Quicken your pace and return to the inn.

Xiao Yan was sleeping, and Mu Qing sat quietly in the room, not thinking about anything, just sitting quietly.

The sunset swept away the last trace of light, and the night slowly fell, Mu Qing stood up, lit the candle on the table, took out the Xuan paper and brush, and drew on the paper by candlelight.

After a long time, Xiao Yan came behind him lightly, stretched his neck, and secretly looked at the paper.

Mu Qing didn't stop writing, what he continued to draw was the slender back of a young girl, Xiao Yan only glanced at it, and then blurted out, "This figure is so familiar, where have you seen it?" ”

Mu Qing didn't look back, just elbowed back lightly with his right elbow, Xiao Yan immediately stroked the position hit by the elbow, his face was in pain, and it seemed to be getting more and more painful, he actually lay on the ground and curled up, moaning loudly.

Although the play is sufficient, it is a one-man show after all, and it is still difficult to continue singing.

Therefore, after snorting a few times, seeing that no one cared about him at all, he had to stand up stupidly and said to Mu Qing: "It's so boring, why don't you give me a reaction, even if you don't comfort me, it's better to come up and kick me with a foot and a half than to get up by myself helplessly and funny!" ”

"If you don't have a good rest, you know it's noisy, don't you have to go out in the middle of the night?" Ignoring Xiao Yan's protest, Mu Qing went straight to the point.

What Mu Qing was referring to was that Xiao Yan said during the day that he would go to explore the mysterious mansion in the suburbs again, and this time, he would not go until midnight.

Therefore, most of this time, Xiao Yan is resting, nourishing his spirit, planning and then acting.

"I can't calm down, Shi Zhutou is not here, I'm here to talk to you." One turned around, Xiao Yan made a dashing leap, and in a blink of an eye, he half-squatted on the chair, looking at Mu Qing pitifully.

"I can't figure it out, why didn't Yun Yanlan disappear? Why did that man hide him and sing in his name, right? Putting down the paintbrush, Mu Qing also sat down on another chair.

"That's right, the handsome face of the little brother wants to be distorted, but I still can't think of a reason."

Bei Xiaoyan is a legend in his own right, and even more bizarre and bizarre things have happened to him.

However, he couldn't figure out what happened to Yun Yanlan, which made him feel uneasy, what a strange thing it should be.

"It's very weird, it doesn't ask for money, it doesn't hurt people, it's just a trick on people, right? Why do you want to sing on stage? Mu Qing's tone was calm, as if he had seen through the doubts in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Is it possible, you say, that he just wants to show off his abilities? In other words, he is just for showing his hand, purely for showing his hand! ”

"Show your hand, who will show it?" Mu Qing glared at Xiao Yan.

"Show us! I boldly assume that if he is the one who kidnapped Qin Huaiyu, and moreover, he also knows that we are investigating him, so he showed us his hand so deliberately, plannedly, and purposefully, he wanted to express ......" As he spoke, Xiao Yan remembered the red letter behind Yun Yanlan again.

"Come and go freely, what can I do!" Mu Qing also remembered these eight words, and in order to inherit Xiao Yan's speculation, he changed "I" to "he".

Seeing that Mu Qing also recognized his reasoning, Xiao Yan immediately jumped up, "Yes, yes, that's it." He knew that we were investigating him, and he was very disdainful, so he showed it right under our noses, whether it was shock or contempt, in short, just to show us. ”

"He knows we're looking for him, how is that possible?" Mu Qing was also very disdainful.

Here's the key question, how did he know that? Think about it, in the past few days, who are the strangers who have been in contact with us, and who know the identity of Shi Zhutou? Xiao Yan squeezed his eyes.

"Yue Er Shao!" Without thinking about it, Mu Qing blurted out.

"Exactly, that night, our stone catcher's waist card can be shining? People can see it very clearly! With a clapped high-five, Xiao Yan continued excitedly: "At that time, Miss Xiang started to follow him from the teahouse, and Ishikawa appeared behind. ”

"But at that time, we didn't know that Huaiyu was missing?" Mu Qing asked rhetorically.

"Yes, we didn't know it at the time, we just followed Miss Xiang to see the excitement. However, Yue Ershao mistakenly thought that we knew about it early on, so he told someone about our investigation of Huaiyu, and only then did Yun Yanlan come out. ”

"So, it's time to take a closer look at that big mansion! Go along. After Mu Qing finished speaking, he was about to prepare to change his clothes.

"No, I'll go alone! Either I have to be distracted to take care of you later, which is very troublesome. ”

If it weren't necessary, Xiao Yan would definitely not let Mu Qing take the risk, but he had to pretend to have a disgusted expression on his face and wouldn't let him go along.

For some reason, Mu Qing did not insist on following, but just told in a muffled voice: "Be careful in everything, there is danger, and it is the best policy to go!" ”

Listening to Mu Qing's instructions, Xiao Yan suddenly laughed dumbly, because he remembered what Miss Xiang said to Ishikawa.

"If you can't beat it, just run!" Because of this sentence, Ishikawa was stunned, and his identity was revealed under carelessness.

Now, Mu Qing also called himself, "If you can't beat it, just run", but when this sentence reached Mu Qing's mouth, it became "Go is the best policy!" ”

Xiao Yan squeezed his eyes at Mu Qing, as if he was smiling, "Brother Mu rest assured, little brother remember, "If you can't beat, just run"! This five-word mantra, and you have to run as soon as possible! ”

Mu Qing pursed his lips slightly, forced down a knowing smile, turned around and concentrated on painting again.

"Alas, Sifu Jun is too restful, and he is very tired!"

Looking at Mu Qing's attentive appearance, Xiao Yan sighed, chanted leisurely, turned around and floated away.

Although Mu Qing did not turn around, the hand holding the paintbrush tightened.

Indeed, just as Xiao Yan sighed in a long voice, he was thinking about someone, worried and uneasy.

After a slight pause, he concentrated on painting again, only to express the complex emotions in his heart under the brush......
