The night is deep, the breeze blows the willows, and the moon is as cool as water.

Qin Mubai held a pot of Qin Immortal liquor in his hand and walked in his yard drunkenly.

Princess Gaoyang knew that Qin Mubai had been in turmoil recently, so she deliberately left him alone to think quietly, so she obediently returned to the palace by herself. Shuang'er returned to the old Qin Mansion to accompany her mother, leaving Qin Mubai alone, in the red horse mansion where the plaque was not removed.

He has never done anything like today. I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I drink and hang out alone.

When he returned to the capital from Xiangyang, Qin Mubai felt that he had not fallen behind for half a moment of idleness and tranquility. was just busy preparing for the marriage before, followed by the conspiracy between the King of Han and the East Palace, followed by the assassination of Fang Yiai and the death of the demon, and the dispute between Lanzhou and Lanzhou was immediately unsettled......

This brown piece by piece made Qin Mubai's nerves tense and tight, and the pressure in his heart was increasing day by day.

At this moment, he really wanted to fight and kill the enemy group with a fierce horse and spear, or have a gentle and lovely confidant, who has been smiling and quietly listening to his complaints.

"If the demon is still there, how good it should be......" Qin Mubai looked up at the moon, and the cold moonlight poured down like mercury, covering the entire land of Kyushu, but it couldn't shine into his heart.

"Hey! ……”

This sigh, if the demon above the nine heavens hears it, will it burst into tears? 、

Unconsciously, Qin Mubai, whose footsteps were already a little staggering, paced to the small courtyard where the demon had lived before his death. After the death of the demon, in order to take care of those little orphan girls, Shuang'er took them to live in the old Qin mansion. At this point, it was an empty house. Although there are servants to clean up every day, keeping it as it was before, it is spotless, but it is full of cold and desolate every day.

"Crunch", Qin Mubai pushed open the door, and the silver moonlight was still reflected in the hall. In the haze, Qin Mubai saw the piano covered with a large brocade cloth, and there was still a favorite pipa of the demon in his life.

He walked over, picked up the pipa and stroked it in his arms a few times, as if he could feel the unique taste of the demon. Quiet, elegant, she will never apply fat powder, and she will never lose the most natural and pure girl's fragrance.

Walking to the courtyard with the pipa in his arms, Qin Mubai's wine strength had already risen a little, so he sat on the stone steps casually, held the pipa and said to the moon: "Demon, don't count a few days, are you okay?" ”

"Third brother, I miss you."

"At this moment, if you were here, I would not be so depressed and depressed. No matter how troubled I am, as long as I hear your laughter and piano sound without a trace of impurities, and see the unreserved care and thoughtfulness revealed in your gray eyes without a look, I feel that I am the happiest man in the world. ”

"Demon, am I being selfish? I have always been greedy to enjoy the peace and tranquility you have given me, and the purest and most simple feelings in the world, but I have never given you a trace of what you want. Now, how I wish you were still by my side, even if you sit quietly, silently, without speaking, doing nothing, and listening to me......"

As he spoke, Qin Mubai's eyes were actually moist, and there was a little choking in his voice.

Burdened with heavy pressure and worries, Qin Mubai, who had nowhere to vent, finally felt an unprecedented ...... Lonely!

Men, especially men like Qin Mubai, do not allow for vulnerability and retreat in the dictionary. But men are also human beings, and people are made of flesh, Qin Mubai thinks that he is just an ordinary man with seven emotions and six desires. He couldn't emasculate all his feelings. Emotions such as vulnerability, sadness, confusion, and fear, even if they are buried and well hidden, they still exist.

Now Qin Mubai is more eager than anyone else to have a pink confidant by his side. He didn't need anyone to give him ideas, encouragement, or any respite and recuperation, he just needed her to listen.

It's better to be a demon.

Because she is the best listener in the world.

"It turns out that only when you lose it will you realize the preciousness...... Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, smiling bitterly, two tears, gently falling from his silver-plated jaw to the green grass leaves that had just grown in the New Year near his toes.

"You'er, today, I'll give you a new tune. Sure, you haven't heard of it. Qin Mubai looked up at the moon, smiled, hugged the pipa, and said, "Because, this piece was composed by people more than a thousand years later." The word was written by a Song Dynasty man named Su Shi hundreds of years later, and the name of the word brand was "Water Tune Song Head". By the way, there is a woman known as the 'Queen of Heaven' who sang this song, but it is definitely not the Queen of Heaven named Wu Cao in history. She is now just Wu Meiniang, my fiancée...... Well, you listened well......"

Plucked the strings, Qin Mubai sang Faye Wong's song "I Wish People Were Long" according to the tune in his memory.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky;

I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace.

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is unbearable......"

Singing this, Qin Mubai felt that his throat was a little hard, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, and whispered, "You'er, are you okay?" Heavenly Court Palace, is it cold or not? The third brother wants to put on a fox fur for you......"

"Dance to figure out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world!

Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly.

There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye?

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny;

This matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles......"

At the end of the song, Qin Mubai's voice was already inaudible.

He didn't understand why he was so sentimental and lonely. He has never been so sensual as he is today, and he has never missed someone as much as he does today. Even when he just traveled to the Tang Dynasty, when he left his home and relatives and even the entire era that belonged to him, he didn't!

The wine was surging, the voice was choked, the tune was out of tune, Qin Mubai was already drunk, and his body was so soft that he was about to fall sideways and sleep on the stone steps.

At this moment, he fell into a soft and warm embrace, and two drops of cold water happened to fall on his face.

Qin Mubai was already drunk and dazed, and he didn't know if it was reality or a dream, so he muttered in his mouth: "Is it a demon?" Did you come down from the Moon Palace and accompany the third brother? ”

"Well, it's me......" The man responded.

"Okay, good ......" Qin Mubai wanted to turn over and hug the demon tightly, but he was so drunk that he muttered like this and fell asleep.

Not long after, perhaps out of the professional instinct of his long-term martial arts career, Qin Mubai felt something strange around him in his sleep, and woke up inexplicably. He found that he was actually lying in the arms of a person, covered with a luxurious and warm sable coat.

There seems to be a hazy woman's face in front of her, although she can see it a little blurry, but she can clearly feel her alluring face!

"Demon? It's really you! Qin Mubai exclaimed almost instinctively, and sat up.

In the next second, he was even more surprised - "Mei Niang!! ”

"It's me."

What appeared in front of Qin Mubai's eyes was Wu Meiniang.

She sat on the stone steps and looked up at Qin Mubai, smiling, smiling as gently as she had never been.

"Winkling, you...... How did it end up here? Could it be that I'm still dreaming? Qin Mubai was in a trance for a while.

"Fool, why don't you pull me up? My legs have been numb by you! Wu Meiniang smiled and stretched out one of her hands.

"Huh? Good! Qin Mubai came back to his senses at this time, this is not in a dream, but real!

So he hurriedly stepped forward to pull Wu Meiniang up, took her into his arms, draped the mink fur on her back and wrapped it, and said with some gaffe and annoyance: "When did you come, and you didn't notify me?" If you saw me, why didn't you call me? Let me press you to sleep for half the night, you didn't catch a cold and didn't hurt anything, right? ”

"Look at your urgency, I'm fine." Wu Meiniang smiled, her eyes were crooked like the moon in the sky, and she said softly, "When I came, you were playing the pipa and singing, so you didn't bother, standing outside the garden gate and listening quietly." It's really a good song, especially the words, which can be described as well-known. Even though I only listened to it once, I wrote it down word for word. 'I want to go back by the wind, and I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, the height is unbearable', Mu Bai, you have a lot on your mind! ”

"Alas!" Qin Mubai sighed, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and said, "You still understand me, Mei Niang." ”

Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, turned around and took Qin Mubai's arm and walked forward, and said, "It's cold and the night is dew, let's make a pot of tea and eat some snacks, how about sitting in the pavilion and talking?" ”

"Very good." Qin Mubai agreed, called two servants who guarded the household to prepare some simple refreshments, and sat with Wu Meiniang in the courtyard pavilion of the small courtyard.

"Mei Niang, why did you come back suddenly?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Such a big event happened in Qinxian Pavilion in Chang'an, can I not come back?" Wu Meiniang shook her head sadly, but she didn't mention the word demon yet, and immediately diverted the topic, saying, "What's more, I heard a lot of things about you in Xiangyang, which one of these brown ones can also make my heart beat and I can't sleep at night." How can I not come back at such a time? ”

Qin Mubai smiled while holding Wu Meiniang's soft pancreas, and said, "I'm sorry Meiniang, I'm worried about you." ”

"You shouldn't have said anything like 'sorry' to me." Wu Meiniang stared into Qin Mubai's eyes and smiled, "I am yours, and you are also mine." We are each other's other half of life, and who would say sorry to themselves? ”

"Hehe......" Qin Mubai smiled.

Wu Meiniang rarely says this kind of sensual lover's sweet words, and occasionally a sentence or two can make people intoxicated from the heart. Although Qin Mubai was still very lonely and sad, from the moment Wu Meiniang appeared in front of his eyes, his whole world was like a bonfire rising in the cold winter night, and it was no longer desolate and lonely.

"Mu Bai, although I am far away in Xiangyang, I basically know everything that happened in Chang'an. I've always been well-informed, you know that. So, I won't ask you what your current situation is. I just want to hear about your intentions. Wu Meiniang asked straightforwardly.

Qin Mubai twisted his brows lightly and said, "What do you want to hear?" ”

"Of course it's related to Lanzhou!" Wu Meiniang said, "If my guess is correct, the war and peace in Lanzhou is not only about the overall situation of the court, but also about the life and death of you and the Qin family. Of course, my little woman is not as generous as those scholars and doctors for the country and the people, and I care more about the latter. Mu Bai, tell me about it, just like telling yourself about it. No matter what kind of worries and depressions you have, if you can't solve them, you can feel more comfortable. At times like these, you should travel light, shouldn't you? ”

"Well, that's a good point." Qin Mubai nodded, patted Wu Meiniang's hand gratefully, and said, "Meiniang, it seems that you have almost inquired about this matter, and I believe that with your wisdom, you must have thought about it almost thoroughly, so I won't repeat it." All in all, in a nutshell, I am ready to join forces with Li Tai to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji. In any case, no matter what the price is, we must let the battle of Lanzhou start! ”

"Huh......" Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Qin Mubai asked in some surprise.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Mu Bai, if you can make such a decision, I am relieved." Right now, this may be your only way out. Although Li Tai is a shady and vicious person, at this time, you should stand on the same position and work together to resist the strong. As for the past festivals and Li Tai's behavior, all you have to consider is secondary, and you can watch out for it with multiple eyes. ”

"Oh?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little surprised and surprised, and asked, "Could it be that Mei Niang thinks the same way?" ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. The reason why I came from Xiangyang day and night non-stop is to tell you this. Wu Meiniang said, "Unite with the King of Wei and work together to fight against the eldest grandson Wuji." Now it seems that I was overthinking. My Mu Bai, of course, will always be smarter and decisive than me, otherwise, how can I Wu Meiniang be obedient......"

"Obedient what?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

"I won't tell you." Wu Meiniang picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Qin Mubai's mouth, and said with a smile, "Block your mouth full of wine and smoke people to death!" ”

"What are you smoking, I haven't kissed you yet......!"

"No nonsense! - Hugh has to mess around, or I'll be angry...... I'm so angry! Wow, let go, woo......"

……

Women, what amazing creatures.

It is far easier for her to change a man's mood than it is for God to change the weather.

Wu Meiniang's sudden return made Qin Mubai feel an unexpected surprise. Wu Meiniang didn't say some things, and Qin Mubai didn't ask, there will always be such a tacit understanding between the two.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly came back, of course, not to say that sentence to Qin Mubai, which was very likely to become nonsense.

At this time, Wu Meiniang must let herself appear by Qin Mubai's side, whether she lives or dies, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang must stand together. In addition, Wu Meiniang knew Qin Mubai very well, and she knew what the martyrdom of the demon meant to Qin Mubai.

Regardless of life and death, wealth and fortune, what Qin Mubai needs most at this time is a person closest to his heart, giving him the most peaceful comfort and listening to his heart.

So Wu Meiniang came back.

When he married Princess Gaoyang and the scenery was unstoppable, Wu Meiniang stayed quietly in Xiangyang and ran her wine shop; When he was the most lonely and lonely, Wu Meiniang silently appeared by Qin Mubai's side, supported his drunken collapsed body, covered him with a collar of mink fur for him who was asleep, and quietly hugged him, waiting for him to wake up.

This is Wu Meiniang, with a raise of her hand and a throw, she reveals her intellect and maturity that does not match her age.

Princess Gaoyang loves passionately and wildly without reservation, and she can do anything for Qin Mubai, just like a white lotus blooming in a pool of blood, which is so amazing that she can't be beaten; In contrast, Wu Meiniang is a pot of orchids placed at the window, blooming silently, and the fragrance of flowers explains.

……

The two of them sat and talked like this until dawn. When he saw a servant walking around not far away, Qin Mubai slapped his thigh with remorse and shouted, "Oh no! ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Meiniang was surprised.

"I actually sat here with you and talked for half the night?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Wu Meiniang was even more surprised.

"Isn't that bad, even damn!" Qin Mubai shouted, "I actually missed the best opportunity to have a cave room with you!" ”

"Die! Shut up! Wu Meiniang's face turned red when she couldn't cry and laugh, and she shook her head again and again, "You are a disciple, you really don't have a moment of seriousness." Fang was still going to die or live, and in the blink of an eye, he was smiling. Hey, I knew that I would stay in Xiangyang obediently and not come back. It's not clear, are you okay? ”

"If Mei Niang doesn't come back, I'm sure something will happen." Qin Mubai smiled and said softly, "Mei Niang, thank you." ”

"Words like sorry don't need to be said in the future." Wu Meiniang smiled, stood up and yawned, and said, "It's time for me to go back to the house, I'm afraid my mother waited for me all night with the lamp!" Mu Bai, hello, take a hot bath and sleep well. When I woke up, I was full of confidence. No matter what kind of war he is, you will definitely win - I believe in you! ”

"Hmm." Qin Mubai didn't laugh anymore, got up and looked at Wu Meiniang, nodded intently, and said, "Don't worry, I will win." ”

"What if I lose?" Wu Meiniang was a little playful, half a day joking and half serious.

"What if I lose...... Qin Mubai touched his nose and said with a smile, "I won't be this bird official, give up my official position, obediently be my concubine, marry you again, and let you and Gao Yang give me children." and begat him one hundred and eighty. I don't believe it, with me, Mei Niang and Gao Yang's excellent bloodline, there is no one in a litter of children! There will always be one who will overcome me, and that will do, and they will do what I have not done when the time comes. ”

"......" Wu Meiniang was speechless for a while, covering her forehead and shaking her head painfully, "I'll go back." I need to get back! ”

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed heartlessly.

"Let's go!" Wu Meiniang was dressed in her sable, Yongrong walked forward, and did not forget to raise her hand and said to Qin Mubai behind her without looking back, "No need to send it, you can take a shower and rest early!" You've been busy these days! ”

"yes, okay." Qin Mubai smiled and let out a long breath.

The nameless resentment in his chest disappeared nine times out of ten in this night. Wu Meiniang, great contribution!

Wu Meiniang hummed softly as she walked. Qin Mubai was about to walk towards the bathroom, when he inadvertently heard the tune she hummed, and couldn't help but stop his steps.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky;

I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace.

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable.

Dance to figure out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world!

Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly.

There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye?

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny;

This matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles......"

……

"Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world...... What a charm to sing! If Faye Wong hears Wu Meiniang's song, will she take a piece of frozen tofu to hit her head? Qin Mubai, who didn't come back to his senses for a long time, muttered, "Wu Meiniang can never forget it, and in the blink of an eye, she can learn it vividly, she is really a genius that is rare in a thousand years!" …… If not, how could she be an empress?! ”
