Chapter 49: What to do with me
The candle flame in the room was very bright, shining on the indifferent little face of the twilight, making her look more like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
As she said, in fact, Lu Xue had already woken up, but because Mo Zhiqiu was there, she kept pretending to be unconscious.
She watched Twilight quietly, wondering why she would help her. Aren't she and Mo Zhiqiu old friends? How could he "betray" his friend for such a stranger?
"Drink the medicine." Looking back at the twilight, a pair of eyes are cold and unemotional.
Lu Xue propped up the bed with her right hand and sat up slowly, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Sunset looked at her quietly for two seconds before lowering her eyes, "This time, maybe the city lord did something wrong, but she is still good to you after all." I don't deny that your injuries are caused by her, but I hope that in the future you will spare her if you can. ”
Lu Xue laughed at herself, her mouth opened slightly, and she wanted to speak, but she didn't want to be blocked by a voice.
"Since you are awake, let's prepare for the canonization ceremony of the city lord according to the original day!"
"Yes!"
The two people in the room looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and saw Mo Zhiqiu walking in with the housekeeper's mother-in-law with an indifferent face, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
She glanced at Sunset, "Sunset, you're lying to me!" ”
Twilight was silent, but she didn't deny it, and despite being discovered, she still maintained a pampered appearance.
"She didn't, don't wronged her." Lu Xue looked at the master and servant indignantly, "What kind of inheritance of the city lordship, Miss Ben is not rare!" ”
"Lu Xue, you have no choice!" Mo Zhiqiu looked at her coldly, but an imperceptible trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
She couldn't help it, and at the same time she was disgusted with herself, and she transferred her "no choice" to hers.
"Young City Lord, you better prepare well! The canonization ceremony will be two days later, and I hope that the young city lord will cooperate at that time. The housekeeper's mother-in-law said word by word in a calm tone, but the words made Lu Xue shudder.
"...... in two days"
Mo Zhiqiu looked at the woman on the bed muttering to herself, looking dumbfounded, Xu was a little unbearable, and quickly turned his back to her.
"Sunset, take care of her for the past two days and make sure she is in good health on the day of the canonization."
After saying that, she directly led the housekeeper's mother-in-law out.
Luo Qi watched the whole process from above, watched the master and servant leave, and completely disappeared from view before flying down and hiding in the dark.
"Two days later, ah......" she muttered, the corners of her mouth gradually rising.
Two days, that's enough.
A gentle breeze stirs the leaves on the trees, making a "rustling" sound.
Then Lu Feng, dressed in black, appeared next to the woman.
"Master, is she here?"
"Well, don't startle the snake, she's fine."
The water waves in Luo Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he stared at Lu Feng for a while.
"Change clothes with me."
"Huh?" Lu Feng, who is usually unfazed, was instantly stunned when he heard his master's words at this time.
Changing into women's clothes?
Seeing that she had been looking at herself, Lu Feng reflexively replied, "Okay."
In fact, he changed his coat, Lu Feng was wearing red clothes, pulling his clothes from time to time, and he kept making small movements.
"You go back to the inn first, go to my room for a while, and then go back to your room."
Although Lu Feng was puzzled, his master instructed him to just do it.
"Yes!"
Watching Lu Feng leave, Luo Qi went in the other direction of the mansion.
……
The master bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion was pitch black, and only the moonlight outside was projected through the louvered hollow windows, bringing a faint light to the room.
The woman stood at the window, staring blankly out of the window, and the old butler stood behind her, silent.
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, with a little confusion, "Mother-in-law, Tonghua City, is it really that important?" ”
"Zhiqiu, Tonghua City can't be destroyed in the hands of you and me, have you forgotten what the old city lord said? Your task and my task is to defend this city. ”
The housekeeper's mother-in-law gently patted the woman's back a few times with her calloused hand, and her voice was soothing.
Over the years, the city of Tonghua City has been targeted, and the old city lord carefully guarded it, and when he was dying, he handed it over to her righteous daughter, the current city lord.
But the forces in the dark have not given up, some time ago, they actually took advantage of the city lord to go out, and the raid seriously injured her, but fortunately, the young city lord passed by and was able to be rescued.
"Mother-in-law, but now, if we push Lu Xue into such a situation, can we escape?" The woman turned her head to look at the old butler.
The old butler looked back at the past and said very seriously: "Zhiqiu, no matter what the method, we have to give it a try, we have no choice!" ”
The woman stopped making a sound, and looked out the window again, the moonlight shining on her face, her expression numb like a puppet.
The old butler behind her had retreated at some point, and she was the only one in the room at this time, and a sense of loneliness arose.
"Do you want to get out of this situation and be free?" A very seductive word suddenly sounded in the room.
Mo Zhiqiu turned his head and looked at the woman in black who suddenly appeared in the room, a pair of watery eyes shining in the dark, making people involuntarily trust her.
She looked at the woman for a moment before replying firmly, "I think!" ”
……
In a small inn, a figure with a scarf on his face, wearing a red coat, was still pulling from time to time while walking, and went up to the third floor awkwardly and directly into a certain room.
"Huh? Isn't that General Locke? On this big night, why do you look a little frivolous in your footsteps! ”
He Wen had already learned from Mo Shen that General Luo was coming, and he lived on the third floor.
With a "bang", the fan opened, He Wen shook the fan in his hand, and nodded secretly, "This Tonghua City is really a city that never sleeps at night!" ”
At this time, Mo Shen happened to come out of the room next to him, and felt that a gaze fell on him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw He Wen looking at him playfully.
"Shizi?" Mo Shen raised his eyebrows and looked straight back.
"Brother Mo! This Tonghua City is really a good place. He Wen approached him step by step, not forgetting to shake the fan in his hand.
"Tell me, this big night, General Luo only came back at this time, and his steps are frivolous...... Ah, this ......."
Mo Shen glanced at him, "What does it have to do with me?" ”
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, forgetting that he was about to go out to find water to drink.
After He Wen saw him turn around and go back to the room, he immediately repeated the sentence "What does it have to do with me" just now.
He snorted twice, "If it really had nothing to do with you, you wouldn't have decided to stay here." ”
