Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 10 Walking in the Rain
At this time, it was already raining outside, and Xiao Qiao couldn't see who that person was, but he always smelled the smell of this person and was a little familiar.
The rain was pouring down on her face, and she wanted to pour all this bitter rain into her throat, maybe this kind of transparency could make her feel less uncomfortable, pouring it over her head, and then directly into the bottom of her heart.
From the Miyun that was pulled out of the assassination, to the actions of the first person close to him after returning to Beijing...... The hoarse "why" of Xian Xian always lingered in his ears.
Why?
Doesn't she want to ask why?
Mu Yi hugged her, saw that her face was flushed, and thought of the situation in the house just now, so he naturally knew why she was uncomfortable, so he put her on the roof of an empty courtyard and let her get drenched in the rain.
As early as last month, Mu Yi received this task: to find out the henchmen behind Qin Xiang, and slowly control it, and then close the net, at the end of the task, the confused clues surrounded a place, this place, is the Fragrance Soul Building.
Originally, on the day when Ye Sheh led the troops to sweep away the yellow, the Zhaocha Mansion should have acted, but Ye Sheath took the Tongcheng soldiers to stir up the situation, and the Zhaocha Mansion could only postpone the action.
The reason why Xiao Qiao was chased by Mu Yi when he escaped from the city that day was also because Mu Yi was investigating in the dark at the time and saw that she was sneaky, so he shot at her.
I thought that this case could be closed quickly, but Xu Yingying of Xianghun Lou made the first move, and now a clue on Qin Xiang's side has been broken, Mu Yi also decided to come to Xu Yingying's room to investigate after interrogating Xu Yingying today, but unexpectedly, he encountered such a scene.
Mu Yiyi thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but thinking of the file he got that day, he still stared at his eyebrows and rescued Xiao Qiao.
There is a woman painted on the file, which is the appearance of Xu Yingying, who can be named next to it, but it is called ......
Rong Ying.
The surname Rong was awarded by the emperor to Li Hua, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, which means eternal glory. But this Rong clan has become the biggest rebel in the chaos five years ago, and the Xiao family's generals except Xiao Qiao were buried under the Rong family's conspiracy. It was not until after the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty that the Rong clan was ordered by Gu Beixuan to be killed by the whole clan.
But now, there are still descendants of the Rong family alive......
Xiao Qiao...... Got the idea?
Mu turned his head sideways and used his afterglow to probe the emotions in Xiao Qiao's eyes, but Xiao Qiao just looked at the rain calmly, calm like a puddle of stagnant water.
But she clutched the whip and collar tightly in her hand, and although her head rested quietly on the wooden shoulder, she was clearly on guard, like a poisonous snake that could attack at will.
Mu Yi didn't know that Xiao Qiao was a woman, looking at her appearance, he felt a little strange, she was the one who spread the charm of the whole Kyoto Luoning City, and she was the one who was made by a woman like this today but tried her best to protect her chastity.
Mu Yi just glanced at her with his peripheral vision, the drizzle sprinkled her broken hair on her face, thinking that it was an ink-colored river, her fair face was still a little red, her face was a little thin, but her facial features were very delicate and attractive, and her eyes were red, as if she had cried.
But why is a big man crying about such a thing? Mu thought about it for a while, and then denied the idea.
After a while, Xiao Qiao slowly raised his head, and met Mu Yi's eyes that seemed to contain the sea of stars, and Mu Yi immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes.
It's him again.
Xiao Qiao's head was still leaning, and she had no intention of leaving, and after a long time, she asked, "Are you cold?" ”
Mu Yi was stunned, not "why are you there", "how are you...... It's "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold." Mu Yi shook his head gently.
"Then lend me for a while, if you catch a cold, I will give you free medical treatment."
This sentence was beyond Mu Yi's surprise, and he didn't know what to say.
"What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Qiao felt the corners of his mouth move, and continued to ask, "Are you laughing at me for being like a chicken in soup at this time, or are you laughing at the way I look?"
Before Mu Yi could reply, Xiao Qiao continued: "If you laugh at me, it's like a chicken in soup, but it's not necessary, because you are the same at this time." Wood ......"
"Hmm." Kiichi let out a faint syllable from his nose.
"Am I like a wicked person?" Xiao Qiao suddenly laughed, "Holding a whip, it's weird and scary." ”
"Not really."
"That's because you're a man, and you only move your heart and don't move your heart......"
Mu glanced at her, "You're not a man?" The look.
"But it's not like I haven't thought about redeeming her, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow...... I thought about taking her out of that place. Xiao Qiao's tone was faint, as if he was saying to Mu Yi, as if he was saying to himself, and as if he was saying to Xian Xian.
"But I never thought of it that way."
"If one day, I see a poor man on the street hungry and unable to eat, I am willing to do my best to give him as much as I feel he needs ......" Xiao Qiao paused, his eyes were as hazy as a curtain of rain.
"The strange thing is that when you start to treat a person sincerely, slowly many things will suddenly become taken for granted, I dare not say whether this is good or bad, but there is always a barrier in the human heart that cannot be crossed, if you really want to snoop, it is inevitable that a person will fall to the ground."
"Unfortunately, I'm not a farmer, and she's not as good as a poisonous snake." Saying that, Xiao Qiao moved his heavy head away from Mu Yi's body, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I'm not a good person, you should know this from the beginning of knowing me, Master Mu, isn't it?" ”
Xiao Qiao held a yellow cowhide dossier in his hand.
It was Rong Ying's dossier.
"You!" Only then did Mu Yi realize that Xiao Qiao had just made a move, and he could even steal everything he carried with him so easily.
"Say! What do you know about this? ”
At this time, a cold needle was already against Mu Yi's neck, which Xiao Qiao had just taken in Xu Yingying's room, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
"You think you can threaten me?" Mu Yi asked expressionlessly, but he didn't move.
Suddenly, there were sparse footsteps and shouts.
"It's out of the water!! Yongning Fang is out of the water! ”
Yongning Fang?
Xiao Qiao was shocked in his heart, is it the Fragrant Soul Building?
Xiao Qiaomu glanced at each other and ran along the eaves towards the Xianghun Building, but Xiao Qiao's body had not fully recovered, and when he stood up, his feet were broken, but fortunately he was pulled by Mu Yi in time.
"Thank you."
Mu Yi just nodded, as if what Xiao Qiao was trying to threaten him with a needle just now had not happened, Xiao Qiao looked at this person's back and had some other thoughts.
When the two arrived, the entire building of the Xianghun Building had been surrounded by fire, and a restaurant next to it was also implicated, and there were bursts of screams and cries in the building, but there was no woman running out of the building outside.
"Big brother, has anyone been rescued in this building?" Xiao Qiao casually grabbed a rescuer and asked.
"The fire is too big! All of a sudden, it was on fire! Now I can't get in at all, and I can't get out! ”
Suddenly on fire?
Xiao Qiao frowned, it was raining at this time, how could this Xiangsoul Building suddenly catch such a fire? This could never be an unintentional walk, someone must have deliberately set it on fire!
Is this to cover up something?
Xiao Qiao took off his hairband and tied it around his mouth and nose, and was about to rush in, but was pulled by Mu Yiyi.
"What do you do!" Mu looked a little angry, and Xiao Qiao struggled several times and didn't break away.
"This is to sell the stolen goods, I ......"
"In this case, it must have been doused with oil and ignited, and you are like this, and you will die before the evidence can find anyone."
Xiao Qiaomu was facing each other, Ye Sheath had already led his Tongcheng soldiers to surround the Fragrant Soul Tower and concentrate on the rescue, and the other people were stopped to the periphery.
Sure enough, Ye Shea's face sank after seeing Xiao Qiao, and he saluted: "General Xiao, I don't know why General Xiao is here at this time."
Xiao Qiao saw that his face was not good, so he naturally scolded him back: "We have met here three times, and now that we see me, General Ye will be surprised?"
Ye Sheh just glared at her angrily, and then looked at Mu Yi, but at this time, his face really didn't know how many times he was kind: "Lord Mu, you are here, but the inspector is handling the case?"
Mu Yi just raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Shea, and Ye Sheath came again: "The last general is rude, you shouldn't spy on the government affairs of Zhaocha Mansion, but it is dangerous here, I am afraid that this building will collapse in the rain after it burns, and please ask Lord Mu to move for the time being."
Mu nodded, returned the salute, pulled up Xiao Qiao and left.
"What are you pulling me for!"
Ye Sheath looked at these two people, and there was a trace of doubt, when did these two people who couldn't beat each other start to be so familiar?
Mu Yi pulled Xiao Qiao to a deserted vendor and let her go, this is a breakfast vendor, the market is not open at night, but the tables and chairs are still outside, and it happens that a shed can be built to shelter from the rain, Mu Yi sat down directly with his back to Xianghulou.
Xiao Qiao looked at the Xianghuo Tower for a while, and found that the Xianghun Building could also be seen here, to see if anyone came out and extinguished the fire, and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Qiao used his afterglow to use a large number of this wooden one, this person was always dressed in black, like a shadow living in the dark. His eyebrows are thick, his nose is high, especially those eyes, which are clear and deep, as if he is ignorant of the world, and he seems to be cold by nature.
When Xiao Qiao's gaze fell on his lips, he noticed that Mu Yi was already staring at her, so he withdrew his gaze very unnaturally.
Xiao Qiao thought back that Ye Sheath also called Mu Yi "Master Mu", but Ye Sheath was already a commander of the three-rank protection army, what kind of character is this Mu Yi? Such a big official? thought of Qin Zijiao praising him that day......
What is the origin of this man?
"Lord Mu, what kind of place is Zhaocha Mansion?" Xiao Qiao asked suddenly.
Mu Yi replied: "The color of the world, the heart of a hundred officials."
Xiao Qiao smiled, it turned out to be a concentration camp for executioners who helped the emperor dictatorship.
Xiao Qiao asked again: "Then do you know what General Ben is thinking in his heart?"
Kinoi glanced at her, a few flickering fires flashing in her pupils.
"Don't dare to speculate." Mu Yi replied.
"You already knew that Xiangsoul Building was not simple, you even knew about today's fire, I don't know what you are helping Gu Beiling investigate, but you know that this matter is related to me, right?"
"In his office, in his deeds."
"What if I want to stop you?" Xiao Qiao asked again.
"I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult for both of us." Mu Yi didn't back down.
"In that case...... Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Let's cooperate, right?" ”
