Qingcheng sat in the house of his sister-in-law, thinking of this loving mother who died because of her, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, falling into endless melancholy memories. At this moment, another person quietly came to Wang's sister-in-law's house, stood at the door of the house frowning and pondering, and did not go in, nor did he greet Qingcheng.

After a long time, Qingcheng slowly opened his eyes, sighed lightly, and said, "Are you also here to miss my stepmother?" ”

As a first-class martial artist, Qingcheng's spiritual sense is extremely keen, and he has already felt the breath of the comer. It's just that he knew that the man had no ill intentions, so he didn't rush to talk to her, so he was silent for a long time. And after the man heard Qingcheng's question, he still didn't say anything, just stood there fixedly, not knowing what to do.

The person who came was Mu Huang. She had also met with Sister-in-law Wang before, and she also knew something about what happened to her. Sister-in-law Wang also saw Mu Huang's daughter at a glance, and wanted to be a matchmaker for Qingcheng and let Mu Huang be her daughter-in-law. Therefore, Mu Huang and Sister-in-law Wang can also be regarded as acquaintances.

This time, Qingcheng led the troops to the expedition, which was extremely dangerous, so he didn't bring Mu Huang with him, but left her a task to find out the matter in Linhai City. Today, when she heard that the army was triumphant and Qingcheng had made great achievements, Mu Huang was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, so after the army returned to the city, she was in a hurry to find Qingcheng to say goodbye.

However, after arriving at the barracks, he didn't see the figure of Qingcheng, not to mention, not even the thunder shadow and the wind, Mu Huang asked a few recruits to inquire, and then learned that Qingcheng's mother died in the battle, and he went home.

It stands to reason that Mu Huang knew the origin of Qingcheng's life, and he should be surprised or unbelieving after hearing this, because Qingcheng's mother could not be in the array. But for some reason, Mu Huang seemed to know something, and was shocked after hearing about it, and ran all the way to Wang's sister-in-law's house, and sure enough, he saw Qingcheng.

She guessed correctly, it was indeed the sister-in-law who died, but how could she have expected that the sister-in-law would be in the array? Perhaps the answer is self-evident. After she came to Wang's sister-in-law's house, she saw Qingcheng who was sad alone, and for some reason she was a little scared, and even more guilty, like a child who had made a mistake, she didn't dare to go in to face him, but stood at the door of the house, and also fell into a burst of sadness.

Looking at Mu Huang's appearance, Qingcheng frowned slightly, and the atmosphere was obviously a little nervous. After a while, he sighed lightly, stood up and walked to the door of the house, looked at Mu Huang and said coldly: "Everyone is dead, why do you want to do this?" I think, with my mother-in-law's heart, I don't blame you, but I will thank you. ”

"You know everything?"

Hearing what Qingcheng said to herself, Mu Huang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, but she didn't know what she was saying that Qingcheng knew. Hearing her ask, Qingcheng nodded lightly and explained: "My stepmother doesn't know many big people in the city, so only you and Zhenhai Hou have the ability to hide a woman quietly on the warship of the bandit army." And Zhenhai Hou will never agree to her, so it is not difficult to guess that it is only you. Am I right? ”

In the end, Qingcheng looked at Mu Huang with a serious expression and a little anger. After listening to his explanation, Mu Huang looked at him with a frown, and the eyes of the two were just on the same page. Mu Huang was obviously frightened by Qingcheng's appearance, and subconsciously took a step back and stood on the spot.

Seeing her like this, Qingcheng did not see pity, but took a step forward, and asked in a slightly questioning tone: "Do you think this is fun?" Do you think you're amazing? How can you silently send a woman onto the warship of the commander of the bandit army? Do you think I'll be happy to see my stepmother on the battlefield? Do you think we should all be thankful for you? ”

Qingcheng threw out five questions in a row, questioning one by one, with a hint of resentment in his tone, not at all like the usual Qingcheng, it should be the death of Sister-in-law Wang, which really made him feel guilty and angry.

And Mu Huang was first frightened by Qingcheng's eyes, and then heard his series of questions, a girl's family, even if she was very arrogant on weekdays, couldn't stand such treatment, and retreated again and again, until she was supported by a person, it was her domestic servant, Lin Yang.

"Master, we don't owe him, so why should you do this?"

Seeing that his master was bullied by Qingcheng and couldn't speak, Lin Yang was very angry, and said to Qingcheng on her behalf: "What qualifications do you have to reprimand my master like this?" What do you know, it was the old woman who begged for it, and my master agreed to send her on the boat, also for her sake, and told you many times to hide in the shadows and watch you, and never show your face. She died, because of you, what does it have to do with my master, you are so unreasonable. What's more, it's just a passer-by who met in Pingshui, do you Duan Qingcheng really regard her as a mother? I didn't hesitate to ...... with my master for her."

"Shut up! Lin Yang, you step aside! ”

Before Lin Yang finished speaking, Qingcheng's eyes became cold, and his murderous aura rose, Mu Huang saw it in his eyes and hurriedly stopped him. But he had fire in his heart, and he felt sorry for Mu Huang, and he didn't want her to face Qingcheng under the anger alone, so he didn't obey the order, but said: "Master, is what I said wrong?" You shouldn't be blamed for this, ......"

"I said, stand down!"

Mu Huang insisted, and Lin Yang, as a domestic servant, did not dare to disobey his master's order, so he had to reluctantly go away. However, before he left, he warned Qingcheng and said: "Listen, I don't care what your reason is, no matter what happens, if you dare to do something to my master, I will never let you go." I know it's not your opponent, but for the sake of the master, even if I fight for this life, I will definitely not let you have a good time! ”

Although Qingcheng was angry at Lin Yang's words just now, he admired his loyalty, so he didn't bother with him. And after he walked away, Mu Huang looked at Qingcheng's appearance, thinking of his sudden change in attitude towards himself, his eyes gradually moistened. After a moment of silence, she spoke: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect things to evolve to this point, I just felt sorry for Sister-in-law Wang's concern for her son, so I sent her on your warship, but I really didn't expect that she would die." I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

In the end, Mu Huang burst into tears, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and gradually began to cry. Looking at her appearance, Qingcheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he felt compassion, and reached out to pat her shoulder to comfort her.

But his hand was just about to touch Mu Huang, and he didn't know what he thought, so he took it back with a hard heart, and sneered, and said: "Hmph, yes, you have a good intention, not only do I not appreciate it, but I also blame you, but it's not mine." ”

Hearing Qingcheng say this, Mu Huang shook his head again and again, explaining: "No, I didn't ......"

"You know", Qingcheng interrupted Mu Huang's words and said, "Why did Lin Yang's words just now make me angry? He didn't say anything wrong, and I don't blame him for saying the wrong thing, but he said it right, but with the wrong attitude. It is precisely because of my stepmother that she and we were originally just a friendship that met in Pingshui, but she died because of me, how can I not be angry, how can I not blame you? A woman who has no husband and no son, and now loses her life in vain because of two strangers, you and me, who is in a position to mention this? Should we take it for granted that a stranger is good because we are dead? ”

Qingcheng's tone became heavier and heavier, and Mu Huang couldn't bear it even more after hearing this, and he almost fell down after retreating a few steps, and happened to lean against the wall, which could barely hold her up.

"I remember telling you from the beginning that the barracks are not a child's play, that war is cruel and serious, and that you are not here to play around. If you insist on treating the army as fun, you will only mislead others and yourself. Now that I think about it, I should have driven you away in the first place, and maybe there wouldn't have been so many things. ”

After Qingcheng finished speaking, Mu Huang fell down against the wall sadly and sat on the ground. She clenched her fists, wrapped her arms around her bent legs, and at the same time clenched the corners of her mouth with her upper teeth, lowered her head sadly, and didn't dare to look at Qingcheng again.

Qingcheng saw that the corners of her mouth were bitten, and he couldn't bear to scold anymore, and after a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly, turned around and walked into the house.

"People are dead, what's the use of scolding you? That's it, let's go, my stepmother just went, I really don't want to see you. As a friend, I would like to advise you one last time, leave the barracks, this is not a place for you to have fun. If you still refuse to listen, things like this will happen again, and then it will be too late for you to regret it. ”

After saying that, Qingcheng didn't look at her anymore and walked straight back to the house. Listening to Qingcheng's words, Mu Huang was sad, and his emotions couldn't be calmed down for a long time. Until now, she could not forget how grateful and happy that loving mother was when she agreed to the request of the princess.

"You are such a good person, you have a bodhisattva heart. When my son comes back, I will ask him to find someone to talk to and go to your house to propose marriage. ”

When Mu Huang heard this sentence at that time, he didn't know why, his pretty face was slightly red, and although he was blaming his sister-in-law for talking nonsense, there was a trace of indescribable joy in his heart. At that time, she was still thinking about what Qingcheng would be like if she really let Sister-in-law Wang and Qingcheng talk about it.

However, it was only a few days before and after, and it turned out to be this situation, and Qingcheng almost wanted to break with her. Thinking of this, the tears flowed down even more uncontrollably, Mu Huang shook his head vigorously, and muttered to himself: "I have no malice, I really have no malice......"

Lin Yang was really distressed when he looked at Mu Huang, and he couldn't care about her orders, so he walked up to her and helped her up, and comforted: "Master, I don't blame you, I really shouldn't blame you." ”

Listening to Lin Yang's words, Mu Huang didn't feel better because of this, but just shook his head incessantly. Qingcheng has already issued an order to expel customers, Mu Huang is not the person who is not interested, so he naturally wants to leave. And when she walked to the door of the house, she glanced at Qingcheng in the house, stopped and pondered for a moment, and gradually put away her crying.

She thought about the things that Qingcheng entrusted to her before the expedition, let out a sigh of relief, stabilized her mind slightly, and then said: "I have found out what you asked me to investigate, and it is indeed the same as you expected." Shortly before the Marquis of Zhenhai set out on the expedition, there were indeed fortifications near Linhai City, and there was a shortage of manpower at that time, so someone in the garrison army transferred soldiers to help. Although the man was cautious, and he was rarely seen, I found out who he was, and I wrote down the details, for I suppose you should not listen to me anymore......

Mu Huang's voice gradually became hoarse, and he almost couldn't control his emotions. In the end, she put a letter at the door of the house, glanced at Qingcheng again, and left with Lin Yang.

After Mu Huang left, Lei Ying and Blizzard entered the courtyard through the back door, and then looked at each other, both helpless. The two of them walked into the house, and the wind picked up the letter on the ground and handed it to Qingcheng, and after hesitating for a moment, he said hesitantly: "Young master, you ...... just now"

"Do you two also think that I am a little vexatious and bullying?"

Listening to Qingcheng's words, Hurricane hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. As for Lei Ying, he sighed lightly, but said: "I know that young master, you are not such a person, you were deliberately angry just now, just to force Mu Zhongzhen away, right?" ”

"Hey, you still know me, Thunder Shadow."

Qingcheng said this, stood up and explained: "War is always cruel and ruthless, and I really don't want to go through something like my stepmother again." As a daughter, Mu Huang is even more dangerous on the battlefield, and she has never experienced a cruel battle situation, so she naturally can't imagine it. If she continues to stay in the army, I will not be able to protect her one day. Instead of regretting it at that time, it is better to harden your heart and scold her. Although she will hate me in this way, it is better than letting her die on the battlefield. ”

It turned out that Qingcheng didn't mean to scold Mu Huang, it was all due to concern, and he acted in a play. Although the wind didn't see it, the thunder shadow understood it. It's just that he listened to Qingcheng's words, and sighed after a while: "Hey, I just hope that Mu Zhongzhen will one day be able to understand the young master's hard work." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, it's time to lift the man's veil."

After that, Qingcheng opened the letter left by Mu Huang......
