"The moonlight is bright, and the shadows of the trees are swaying. Ay? Yu Tzu-hyuk? What do you think of my two sentences? As he spoke, Shang Ling leaned his face over.

Yu Tzu Hyuk reached out and pushed his face back: "It's you who daydreamed, right?" ”

"What daydreaming? The rational use of these two sentences is also a beautiful poem, Yu Tzu Hyuk, you have to know how to experience life. ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk turned his head and said, "It's not yet the time when the moonlight is shining, why don't you wait until you stand outside and feel life?" ”

Shang Ling smiled: "That's not necessary, I suddenly feel that lying down and sleeping is also a feeling of life." ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk shook his head and sighed, "Didn't you say that there will be many people wearing veils?" But now I've only seen the two of us wearing veils. There are a lot of people you said, there are a lot of them? Where is it? ”

"Huh? I'm also wondering, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of people wearing masks, and there should be veils without masks. ”

"Masks? What mask? Masks at the Lantern Festival? ”

"No, what's that name? Aren't there many people wearing masks? ”

"Dance?" Yu Tzu Hyuk rolled his eyes at Shang Ling, "Have you ever seen the Nu Dance?" ”

"I think I've seen it once, what's wrong?"

"I really believe in you, although you have a good brain, and you are only able to recognize people and things, but you behave like a child with incomplete IQ development for ordinary things."

Shang Ling was said to be a little weak-hearted: "You said that such a lot is... What do you mean? ”

The Wu dance is widely spread in various places to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, and the folk dance of sacrificing and chasing away the epidemic, which was formed in the court of the Zhou Dynasty "Da Da" ceremony, which is clearly recorded in the "Zhou Rite". Nu dance performances generally wear the mask of a certain character, including legendary characters, secular people and famous people in the past dynasties, to construct a huge lineage of Nu gods, so there is a saying that "taking off the mask is a person, wearing a mask is a god". But the Nu dance is generally performed during the period from Yuanchen to the sixteenth day of Huayue, and now it is Guiyue, I don't know where Shang Gongzi wants to go to watch the Nu dance? Yu Tzu Hyuk turned his head to look at Shang Ling. Shang Ling knew that although there was a veil covering half of his face, he could see just by looking at his eyes that Yu Cihe must be talking to himself with a smile at this time, not to mention that her tone had already explained everything, and this smile must also be a mockery.

"Alright, okay, I got it." Shang Ling excused himself and said, "Maybe I've been a little tired lately, so my brain is not very clear, which is understandable." ”

Yu Cihe didn't want to argue with him about this, so she returned to her usual tone and said, "You can't go in until you get to the palace, and you won't go in until it's dark." And we can't go through the front door, go around the back door and climb over the wall to get in. ”

"Over the wall?" Shang Ling frowned, "We're not going to steal things, how can we be sneaky?" If you are caught as a lawbreaker and taken to the government, won't it be all exposed? ”

"Now there must be Xiao Yuhuan's eyeliner everywhere outside the Nanyang Palace, wouldn't it be open to Xiao Yuhuan to tell Xiao Yuhuan that we are here when you enter through the main gate? So you can't walk through the main entrance. ”

"So you want to wait until the night to get around, for fear that those eyeliners will find out about our plans?"

"Hmm."

"Okay." Shang Ling stretched, "It's all for the sake of the overall situation, then I'll accompany you to be a thief." It's still some time before dark, what are you going to do? ”

"Find out where the eyeliner arranged by Xiao Yuhuan is near the palace, and find an opportunity to get rid of it."

"Get rid of it?!" Shang Ling was taken aback, "There are still a lot of things you want to do?" Aren't you just telling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he's been exposed? Then he will definitely step up his efforts to deal with King Nanyang, and maybe he will deal with Princess Su'an first. Are you trying to kill your master? ”

"It doesn't have to be recently, it may be a few days. Wait, when Xiao Yuhuan can't sit still, I'll help him. ”

———— ———— ————

"Dangdangdang" A knock appeared in Mo Cheng's room, Mo Cheng was sitting on his bed meditating, when he heard the knock, he quickly put away his imagination, straightened his clothes, stood up, and walked over to open the door. When I opened the door, I found that it was Xuan Zhuyi standing outside the door, and said with a smile: "Master Xuan? Come in and sit. Xuan Zhuyi returned the salute and walked in, and Mo Cheng closed the door and walked back.

"Is there something wrong with Master Xuan coming to me recently?" Xuan Zhuyi hesitated and refused to speak.

Mo Cheng let him sit down in a chair and asked, "I can see that Master Xuan has something to say, but he wants to stop talking, is there anything inconvenient?" ”

"Mo Cheng." Xuan Zhuyi seemed to have broken through the psychological defense, "We decided to leave Lujiang County. ”

As Xuan Zhuyi expected, Mo Cheng was really shocked when he heard Xuan Zhuyi's words: "Leave Lujiang County?!" Xuan Gongzi means to leave? ”

Xuan Zhuyi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Mo Cheng didn't quite understand: "But, why do you want to leave suddenly?" Did Master Xuan suddenly decide like this? ”

"Actually, I discussed it with Zhixi and Jing Gong not long ago."

Mo Cheng understood: "It's because of the killer, please?" Before Xuan Gongzi, you were injured, and as soon as Miss Yu came back, please inform us about the killer. The killer is from Yulongtai, that is, sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill you. Indeed, now that they know where you are hiding, if you continue to stay in Lujiang County, it will be tantamount to catching turtles in an urn. It's better for you to leave early, sooner or later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know that you are not dead, and this is indeed not a long-term place for you. ”

"Mo Cheng, since you all know, there is one more thing, I hope you can promise me."

"Master Xuan, please speak, if you can do it, Mo Cheng will definitely try his best to do it."

"Mo Cheng, I hope you can come with us."

Mo Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Let's go?" Xuan Gongzi means to take me with you? Leaving Lujiang County? ”

"Yes."

Mo Cheng smiled: "Master Xuan, your kindness is appreciated by Mo Cheng, but this is Mo Cheng's home, and I can't leave." ”

"That's what worries me the most." Xuan Zhuyi finally said everything he wanted to say, "I hesitate not because I am afraid that Mo Cheng will not let us go, but because I hesitate what to say Mo Cheng before you are willing to go with us." I know that this is your home, but since we have already incurred the disaster of killing, there is no reason for us to leave you here alone, and we will flee for our lives. As you said, the killers don't know when they will return, but since we've been living with you for a long time, they'll know your relationship with us. If you don't leave, they'll kill you next time. I know you're taking care of the people in this mountain and the hard work of the old mountain master, but if you die, everything the old mountain master has done will be meaningless, you know? ”

"Master Xuan" Mo Cheng smiled very politely, "You said everything I wanted to say at once, I don't even know what to say." ”

"What I said is for your personal consideration, if you don't worry about the people in the mountains, you can give each of them a sum of money, let them go out and live whatever it is, in short, don't stay here, especially if you don't stay here."

"Master Xuan, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not."

"You say."

"I think Master Xuan, you've changed."

Xuan Zhuyi was stunned and said, "I've changed? I... Where has changed? ”

"Although I have only been with Xuan Gongzi for a short time, when I first met Xuan Gongzi, I thought that you were a very kind and enthusiastic person who could take care of the overall situation. But recently, Mr. Xuan gave me a different feeling. ”

"What... What does it feel like? ”

Mo Cheng smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I can't say anything if I have to, in short, I feel that this thing is just not clear." Maybe I know more about and are more familiar with Xuan Gongzi, so I feel this way. Just like when I first saw Shang Ling, I thought he was very childish, but now he looks much more stable, the reason is the same. Master Xuan, don't take what I just said to heart. ”

"No... It's nothing. Xuan Zhuyi felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Master Xuan, I can't go with you. There are many reasons for this, not just because of my father and the mountain people. Many of them have followed their father for half their lives, and now that he is gone, they are willing to support me as a young master because they trust me, and I cannot live up to their trust. There are still many old people in the mountains, many of whom have not married wives and are only for the sake of their fathers. Xuan Gongzi rest assured, Mo Cheng will not die, and Mo Cheng will wait for the day when you come back. Mo Cheng also has a request here, hoping that Master Xuan can protect Miss Zhixi. When Mo Cheng's mourning period expires, Mo Cheng wants to ask Miss Zhixi for marriage. ”

"What...... What the?! Xuan Zhuyi couldn't react a little, "You want to marry Zhixi?" ”

"Yes." This time, there was not the slightest hesitation in Mo Cheng's eyes, let alone the slightest flinching.

With a "bang", the door opened, and Mu Zhixi walked in from the outside.

"Zhi... Miss Zhixi? Mo Cheng saw Mu Zhixi walk in directly, and began to stutter a little again.

"Zhixi?" Xuan Zhuyi saw Mu Zhixi walk in and hurriedly asked, "How are you..."

"Senior brother, I have a few words I want to ask Mo Cheng."

Xuan Zhuyi stood aside: "Okay, you ask." ”

"Mo Cheng, did you just say you wanted to marry me?"

"It's... Be. ”

"You know, my Mu Zhixi used to be married, and my husband's name is Nangong Zishu?"

“... Yes, I... I know"

"My Mu family is destitute now, and I also have a younger sister named Mu Jinggong, I can't give you anything."

"I... I know... Girl Mu, I don't want anything from your house. ”

"Why do you want to marry me? My identity can't be disclosed at all now, I can't live in the sun like a normal person, and there are people chasing after me to kill me, and if you marry me, you will only provoke these unwarranted disasters. ”

"I'm not coveting anything from you, I know you're tired right now, so I want to protect you. I know that you only have one sister left now, so I want to be another important relative of yours. Maybe I don't have anything now, and I'm still a little stammering, but I know what my own heart thinks. That time, the time I rescued you from the water, I swore that I would find a way to protect you. You are a young lady from a big family, and you should live a pampered life, but now you can do a lot of things by yourself, and you don't have the temper and temperament of other rich ladies at all. To be able to make such a change, I know that you must have experienced a lot, so I don't want you to work so hard, I want you to have a support, and you won't be so tired. I... My words... That's it. Mo Cheng lowered his head silently, but his eyes still wanted to sneak a look at Mu Zhixi.

"You're saying I don't look like a lady, do you?"

didn't expect Mu Zhixi to suddenly say such a thing, for fear of being misunderstood by Mu Zhixi, Mo Cheng hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't mean that." I... I just want to protect Miss Mu, maybe I'm not very good at talking, Miss Mu, don't be angry, I ......"

"Hahahaha!" Mu Zhixi suddenly laughed, and Mo Cheng was a little overwhelmed, "Mu... Wood girl, you... What to laugh at? Be... Did I say something wrong? ”

"Mo Cheng?" Mu Zhixi smiled, "Wait for me to come back safely, and when this matter is over, I will come back to marry you." With that, Mu Zhixi turned around and left.

Xuan Zhuyi sighed and said, "Since you don't want to go, then you must take care of yourself here, and when we come back, I will do my best to protect Zhixi." After speaking, Xuan Zhuyi also walked out.

Mo Cheng stood in place and muttered, "Marry... Marry me? ”
