I saw Liu Chunqing bowing his head slightly and asking, "How old is Brother Mu this year?" ”

"Seventeen." Mu Qinghan thought that there was nothing that could not be said, so he said. When Liu Chunqing heard this, he only said: "Sure enough, the hero is a teenager." But he bit the word really hard, and he didn't know what to throw in his eyes.

In the banquet that followed, he didn't have any words to persuade people to join the group, just quietly drank and ate quietly, and the plate on the table turned into the pepper and garlic peeled by the general, but he didn't move a single chopstick.

Mu Qinghan ate very comfortably, after all, this was a good meal that he had eaten in a month. Liu Chunqing said that the Mu brothers killed Chun Yu Xianzhong, and at this moment, they are afraid that the other cities in the southern tour will be rewarded. I also ask the shepherd brothers to stay in the city and not shirk. After finishing speaking, he didn't have a word of alcohol left and retreated, and before leaving, he left a sentence and asked his subordinate generals to accompany him, and he didn't give the shepherd brothers a happy drink, but he ate the military order.

The general's words are all in the army, and the generals and generals below, who dare not take it seriously, all come to toast, saying that it is a toast, but it is actually pouring wine. Anyway, he followed the general's wishes, and if he didn't get up today, he wouldn't be able to complete the task.

This Mu Qinghan is a drinker, but he can't stand up to such people. He saw what this meant, so he pretended to be drunk by being slightly drunk. fell on Meng Zhichu's thigh, to be honest, he was a little bit of a drinker.

But his heart of a tiger and wolf pretended to be like a little sheep, and he said vigorously: "My wife is not me who wants to drink." Cheap words like that. Poor Meng Zhichu knew that he was not drunk when he heard it, and he had to cooperate with him, and put up with him talking nonsense on his own, thinking in his heart that this was almost the same as the man on the island in the middle of the lake that day.

In order to get rid of this prodigal son who pretended to be drunk and played hooligans, she had to beg Mu Qinghan for mercy like all the generals, and slapped his body with gentle force, creating an illusion that he had really drunk too much.

This time it made Mu Qinghan a little lingering. After all, the boys in this village are always saying that the most beautiful scenery in the world is a good-looking girl, and his tasting position at this time is too good, up and down, looking at the beautiful scenery and pillowing the beautiful scenery. It's a pity that this is a girl who mixes the rivers and lakes in the wax moon, otherwise it would be even better if it was a Luo skirt on the pillow, not this night dress.

Of course, he didn't sink for long, after all, past experience told him that if he was obsessed with making this Qi Gathering Rank martial artist angry, then his fate might not be much better.

In short, he dragged a body that looked more drunk than the wine jar, and finally left the wine bureau by pretending to be difficult with Meng Zhichu. Of course, when Meng Zhichu tried to pinch his ears to make Mu Qinghan pay the price for his lightness. Mu Qinghan was very witty and returned to normal in time, but he still did not escape that fate.

They walked south of the street, but they didn't want to be watched from the walls of the palace.

It's not on the side, it's Liu Chunqing, who is not strong enough to drink, and he has been following him for fifteen years of guards, of course, at this moment, he is also a general.

"General, will you just let them go?" The general asked.

Liu Chunqing said: "Since he has no intention of joining my Hengzhou army, I can be regarded as worthy of him to ensure that he will not be sought revenge by Uncle Chunyu for a while, so what else." ”

"But the general, he may ....."

"Could be what? He killed Chun Yu Xianzhong, is there still a way to survive in the southern tour? ”

The general then asked, "Then do you really want to keep him safe?" ”

"Of course, many things have long passed, to put it bluntly, this is the housework of the Liu family, even if we are trusted by the king again, but people are the flesh and blood connected to the bloodline, aren't they?" It's just that he said lightly that it was none of his business, but his eyes were extremely serious. "What's more, he is a hero, how can someone make a meritorious service, and he doesn't care about his safety?"

But the next moment, he put on an expression that seemed to be smiling, slowly approached the general, and said in his ear: "But what if he does not listen to persuasion and insists on going to a place without our protection?" After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder: "Guard well, don't let them run around." ”

After hearing this, the general clasped his hands into fists, said yes, and retreated on an errand.

Looking at the back of this confidant for more than ten years, Liu Chunqing had a lot of thoughts, and then looked at the pair of lovers who walked away. "Mu Qinghan, I don't know how you should deal with it next?"

At this moment, listening to Mu Qinghan's various voices of forgiveness, Meng Zhichu was a little happier in his heart, and his hand was a little lighter. Mu Qinghan saw that she didn't care anymore, so he said with a face: "It's okay left and right, accompany me to a place." ”

Meng Zhi thought about it at first, but he didn't know what he was going to do. However, at the Qi Gathering Level, she sensed that someone seemed to be deliberately approaching, but when she looked back, there was no movement. I thought that I was too careful, but for the sake of safety, it was better not to go back to the school alone, otherwise the scene at the banquet would be in vain.

It was past noon, and it was raining lightly, and it should have been a torrential rain when it looked like the fog was so heavy in the morning. However, it was a light rain, so small that you didn't even need an umbrella. However, they couldn't help the fool of the umbrella seller, they still bought one, this is the famous paper umbrella of the Southern Tour, not that someone will really take the painting paper, which can be penetrated by touching the water, to paste the umbrella shelf. Rather, there were always some skilled craftsmen who painted the paintings on the oil paper as well as those painted by the painters in the palace, and over time, they became the signboard of the place.

However, they only bought one handful, and it was still known that they had paid for the first time. After all, before this, Mu Qinghan was either hunted down or arrested, and the little money on his body was gone when he was caught by Chun Yu Xianzhong a month ago. Two people, walking like this, unhurried.

She took it to the river, and the river beach was full of stones, but no boater stopped here. After all, I don't know when the rain will be heavy, and the boat walkers don't want to go to the river in case they get there, and it will be difficult to clean up when it rains.

"What is this?" Meng Zhichu didn't know why he brought himself to this river beach.

He pointed to the plank on the water in front of him, and said that this was originally a civilian ferry port in the southeast of the city, and the owner's surname was Yu, and he often came here to play in the water when he was a child. Then he said, "That's where I was caught by Chunyu Xianzhong." With that, he kicked a stone or two under his feet, and raised a few small ripples on the water, which were covered by the flowing river.

Meng Zhichu heard him say this, connected with the past in his mouth before, and knew the place where Gu Xiaowei was hit by the arrow at this time, and suddenly realized, it seemed that he understood his intention to come here, maybe in his thoughts, he should have come a long time ago.

She took the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, held his arm, and said softly, "Do you miss your sister?" ”

"I know that there must not be anything left of this beach in the past month, but I still want to come and see, in case, no one cleans up, in case, the beasts are still hibernating. In case ......" he thought of countless possible reasons to keep the tragic appearance of the river beach that day from being washed away by time. Even if the washing is complete, if he can leave what he wants to find there, he has no complaints.

Mu Qinghan, sometimes without regrets, actually found a corpse.

"I think I've accepted the result, so I can engrave a stele for her." Mu Qinghan muttered, "But, sure enough. ”

He smiled bitterly, walked to the side under the wooded tree, sat down on the stone that had been soaked by the rain, felt a small stone, and rubbed it on his fingertips. I was about to throw the stone into the river, but when I raised my hand, I took it back and kept my head down.

Meng Zhichu continued to hold the oil-paper umbrella, walked up to him and said, "Xiaowei knows that you have avenged her, and she will be happy if she knows that you are alive." ”

Mu Qinghan didn't reply, his hair was scattered, covering his expression. The rain was falling in small puddles at your feet, sometimes making small splashes. This voice makes people feel at ease when they hear it, and they want to listen to it quietly.

Meng Zhichu asked, "Then what are your plans next?" ”

Mu Qinghan put his hair behind his ears and put it back: "I don't know, I may leave Xiyue City, and I may still open a tavern on the official road." What about you? ”

The rain slowly stopped, and Meng Zhichu put away the oil-paper umbrella, saying that she had discussed with Su Mingxi this morning, and the matter here was over, and the specimens that Dr. Su was looking for new drugs for the new book had also been collected. With the help of Chen Huance, he hired a big boat that was often driven by Liao Daguan. "Leave tomorrow morning and go back to the Holy Doctor's Workshop."

"Okay, I'll see you off then." Mu Qinghan said.

Meng Zhichu said, "You can come with us, haven't you always wanted to see what it's like outside?" ”

"Just like General Liu said, I killed Chun Yu Xianzhong, the new Southern Tour King is estimated to be wanted in various cities, and it is a trivial matter to be caught, and it will not be good for you to be affected." He finally smiled, and threw out the stone that had been rubbing his hand for a long time.

Meng Zhichu didn't care, he was used to walking the rivers and lakes, but as long as the friends she identified didn't care about what was involved. But what Mu Qinghan said was reasonable, so he thought of a playful thing and asked: "Bring a mask and pretend that you are not Mu Qinghan, isn't it?" After speaking, he showed a smiling face that only a little daughter's family has.

"Didn't I give you a mask, you won't lose it, will you?"

"How so?" Mu Qinghan got the mask and hid him in his arms, and in the days when he was sent to Wangyun Tower, Chun Yu Xianzhong did not send anyone to search his body, although there were so many things along the way, this mask was safely placed in his arms, even if he took a good bath in the morning, he did not forget to put it back on his body.

He took the mask from his bosom and placed it on his face: "Like this? Meng Zhichu was attracted to another thing, that is, the eagle-shaped blue crystal he brought out when he took the mask from his arms.

"What is this?" Meng Zhichu pointed to the aquamarine, which she remembered as a color. During the battle of Wangyun Tower, it was this color that shone on Mu Qinghan's chest, she didn't know what it was at first, but now she thinks that it should be this object.

Mu Qinghan said that this was a red envelope given to him by Helian for the New Year. Meng Zhichu nodded, touched it again, nodded and said, "It's so beautiful." ”

Mu Qinghan said: "This is not a pattern of flowers and butterflies, why do you like this kind of thing that men wear?" ”

Meng Zhichu said: "I don't know why, I think the color of this pendant is so healing." However, he saw Mu Qinghan's expression when he looked at her, and realized that this guy was really mocking her in his last sentence, so he twisted his arm mercilessly.

But he didn't cry out in pain, after all, the Golden Pill Warrior, the little girl's family lightly touched his hand, and he only felt comfortable. He followed Meng Zhichu's words and said, "Then if you like it, how about giving it to you?" ”

"Isn't this good, Helian's predecessor gave you a meeting gift, and you gave it to me?"

"What a greeting gift, it was exchanged for kowtowing three heads. I remember what the scholar who taught me to read and write said before, oh, come and don't be rude, yes, just come and don't be rude. "He said he was interested, and he took it off." It just so happens that you gave me your mask, anyway, the old man Helian gave me this thing, it's my thing, I can give it to whoever I want. Come, I'll put it on you. ”

Meng Zhichu was surprised that he didn't give her a chance to excuse herself, so she wore it directly. He said, "No, I'll wear it myself." ”

Then Mu Qinghan took out the drunkard's persuasion and said that you don't give me face, do you look down on me. came and went, and Meng Zhichu laughed, so he had to say, "Okay, good, let you wear it." ”

Mu Qinghan was considered to have a good will, so he held the colorful brocade thread in both hands, bypassed Meng Zhichu, and put it behind Meng Zhichu's neck. Gently crossing, I felt that Meng Zhichu was like a little rabbit in his hand at the moment, and he didn't dare to be half surprised. But the more careful you are, the harder it is to tie the knot. The breath of exhalation and inhalation, not at all bad one by one, all fell on Meng Zhichu's neck, Meng Zhichu felt the warmth behind his neck, and suddenly there was a sense of charm, and his expression was a little helpless for a while, and he subconsciously shrunk his neck.

This action was obviously captured by Mu Qinghan, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"No..... Nothing, you hurry up. ”

"Oh." Saying this, he was reluctant to hurry up, only to say that his breath touched the back of the girl's neck, but who knew that the faint fragrance stirred the young man's heart.

He tied an extremely tight knot, and then leaned into Meng Zhichu's ear and said, "Okay." It's tied up now, and I can't run away. ”

"Oh..... Oh. Meng Zhichu wondered what was going on with this weird atmosphere, but fortunately it was finally over, but why was this face so hot.

When I looked back, I suddenly saw a boy with a mask, "wow", which scared her, she was really startled, but after finding out that it was Mu Qinghan, she hit his arm with her hand, and scolded with a smile.

The rain stopped, and after a while, the water in the river was not so urgent. The two were on the riverbank and chatted about the past. The last time Mu Qinghan chatted with someone like this seemed to be more than a month ago, when he and Tang Mingyin first met.

However, the time of chatting is very fast, but it is not the dusk and sunset that stop. It's a cold arrow.

That's right, it's a cold arrow, the Yujia ferry seems to be at odds with Mu Qinghan, and you can always encounter an ambush here. It's the jungle again.

Meng Zhichu was a martial artist of the Qi Gathering Order after all, and the moment the arrow was wound, she noticed it. Mu Qinghan was talking with relish, and pushed him away. When Mu Qinghan got up from the ground, he saw a feather arrow nailed to the ground one foot in front of him.

He quickly stood up and watched around, and Meng Zhichu had already drawn his sword.

"What's wrong with this place, why are you always ambushed here?" Meng Zhichu was vigilant, but he did not forget to count the numbers.

Mu Qinghan didn't panic, after all, he was not a person who had never seen any scenes, so he replied: "Maybe I hunted too much in this mountain forest." ”

At this time, a group of soldiers with swords in Ming armor and swords came out of the woods, and the military uniforms of Hengzhou. Mu Qinghan recognized the leader at a glance, and said bluntly: "General Zhang, why are you here?" ”

General Zhang raised the spear in his hand and said, "General Liu has an order, it is not safe outside the city, please General Mu and his wife go home." ”

"Please, do you need such soldiers?" Meng Zhichu said on the side, obviously everyone knew that this was a disguise.

"After all, I heard that the advance guard of the Southern Patrol Willow Battalion has arrived, and it is not safe to bring troops, let alone .....," he paused, and then said, "I can't rescue you from them!" After speaking, it was a shot that stabbed, Mu Qinghan dodged sideways, but said, "General Zhang should take care of himself, don't catch it and can't pay the difference!" ”

All the soldiers started to kill, more than the last time Chun Yu Xianzhong led the people and horses, if they fight, it will inevitably be disadvantageous, and the power of the golden pill does not know when it will be triggered, and last night's battle was actually a lot of consumption. The two of them can only occupy and retreat, without the blessing of the golden pill, Mu Qinghan, martial arts are average, and it is okay to play a dozen of Chun Xianzhong's miscellaneous city defense battalions. If you encounter this battle-hardened Hengzhou infantry army, it will be planted. Fortunately, there is also a Qi gathering level Meng Zhichu with a sword to protect, this story of saving the hero is still being staged after leaving Wangyun Tower.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some leeway, Meng Zhichu dragged Mu Qinghan and quickly retreated to the river with light skills, looking at the chasing soldiers in front and the big river behind him, Mu Qinghan suddenly remembered the experience of getting out of Wangyun Tower for the first time. Then he said to Meng Zhichu: "Do you dare to jump?" ”

"What?" Meng Zhichu's question, with her rejection and stubbornness, after all, she is very good at light work, but she doesn't know water. The last time he was really helpless, this time he even wanted to throw her into the water.

But Mu Qinghan dodged a few bows and arrows and said, "We can't help it if we don't jump, I know why this group of warlords always rushed to this place to ambush." ”

Meng Zhichu looked at the chasing soldiers in front of him, thinking that what Mu Qinghan said made sense. Thinking of escaping from Lixiu Lake before, it was fine. So he was bold, grabbed Mu Qinghan's arm, and said, "Okay! ”

When Mu Qinghan heard this, he quickly grabbed her hand, and without saying a word, he jumped over.

After a big splash, the pursuers caught up, and they were at a loss for a while.

General Zhang immediately ordered: "Search along the river, be sure to catch the two of them!" ”

The sergeants searched along the coast, but by chance, the rain had just stopped, and it was raining again, and it was a heavy storm. The water was gradually turbulent, and the pouring rain also greatly increased the difficulty of the soldiers' search, so they had to temporarily withdraw their troops and send a small number of soldiers to investigate.
