Qing Mu shook his head and said lightly: "Let's go, let's go home first." ”

General's Mansion "Master, master! The Three County Lords are back! A maid ran into the living room and shouted loudly.

Qing Zhen shouted angrily: "What are you arguing about! Come back, come back! What a fuss! ”

Before the words fell, the four of them had already walked into the living room, Qing Mu heard his father's words from afar, his heart tightened, and he pondered, has his father not forgiven himself? I don't know what my father doesn't like about me? I always feel so far away from myself!

Qing Mu walked in and said, "Dad! ”

Qing Zhen glanced at her and said coldly: "What? I even know how to go home! ”

"Daddy, I'm sorry! Qing Mu had already told his brother in a hurry to let him tell you personally! Qing Mu replied.

"That's it! It's good to come back, and you'll be tired all the way on the saddle horse, so let's go and rest! Qing Zhen pondered for a moment, as if he also regretted his attitude, and looked at Qing Mu and said softly.

Qing Mu looked at his relieved father, smiled slightly, and said, "Daddy, let me introduce you!" ”

After speaking, he pointed at Wu Bin with his finger and said: "This is the young master of Phoenix Villa, because his family has just suffered a great change, and he is the son of the master's deceased, so Qingmu took charge of the master and brought him back to the capital!" ”

"This one is the righteous daughter of Master Mr. He, Xiao Rui! Take charge of the affairs of the Holy Moon Xuan! Qing Mu pointed to Xiao Rui again and introduced.

"Hmmm! Daddy, congratulations, now that you have entered the world's first sword gate, you are really young and promising! Qing Zhen said half-jokingly.

"Yes! Oh, yes! This is the tiger father without a dog girl! Before Qing Zhen finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the living room, and then he said.

After hearing this, Qing Mu smiled like a flower, turned to look at the person who walked in slowly, and said with a smile: "Brother! ”

"Hmmm! Qing Mu came back, and it was not a prior notice, my brother sent someone to guard the only way for you to come back, and I missed it with you! Qing Lun said a little angrily.

"Brother, don't you know, we didn't take the original official road on this trip, but went all the way to the west, turned north, and returned to the capital through the trade road." Qing Mu replied.

"Good! Good! Good! Qing Lun said three good things in a row, walked over, looked at her carefully for a long time, and then said, "Let's go, I'll send you back to rest." ”

Qing Mu smiled slightly, turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, you can arrange Wu Bin and Xiao Rui's residence." She then said to Wu Bin and Xiao Rui: "Wu Bin, Xiao Rui, you don't have to be polite, when you arrive at the General's Mansion, you will treat this place as your home." ”

As he spoke, several people had already walked out of the living room, and Wu Bin looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

muttered beside Qing Mu and asked, "I really can't imagine that Sister Qing Mu turned out to be the daughter of the General's Mansion!" has such a noble status, but now he worships the world's first sword crane as his teacher. ”

"That's it! Fuss! Follow Xiao Cui, go and rest! Qing Mu said with a smile.

Wu Bin nodded, and together with Xiao Rui, followed Xiao Cui to the courtyard next to him. Qing Mu was full of smiles, witty words, talking and laughing with Qing Lun all the way, saying goodbye to each other.

Qinglun was also puzzled by her admission to Mr. Crane so smoothly, but thinking that it was arranged by the eldest brother, he had already guessed the mystery of this, but he didn't explain it to her.

With so many things, it may be difficult for Qingmu to believe it with just a few words of her own, so let's wait for Brother Muqi to explain to her in person!

After Qing Lun sent Qing Mu back to Yayuan, he immediately sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to deliver a letter informing Qing Mu that he had returned to Beijing. Recently, the emperor's condition seems to have improved a lot, so Mu Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, I have sent people to inquire in many ways, but there has been no news of Qingmu. He was very worried in his heart, this was Qing Mu's journey of thousands of miles alone, for more than half a month.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion searched for merchants all over the country, but no one said that they had seen the news of Qing Mu and his party, Mu Qi was puzzled, according to what the master said in the letter, he should have come back a long time ago, but now that more than ten months have passed, there is no news at all.

At this moment, a guard came to report: "Lord, the general's mansion has sent someone to inform you that the county lord of Qingmu has returned to Beijing!" ”

"When?" Muzi asked, confused.

"Just now! This is General Qinglun's letter, please take a look at it! The guard continued.

Mu Qi bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, you go down first." As he spoke, he took the letter from the guard's hand.

"Yes! Rajah! With that, the guard turned and left the living room, and walked straight out.

Mu Qi was a little puzzled, and said in his heart: Why did she send out so many people, but there was no news of Qing Mu and her party, but now, she seemed to have come back from the sky.

Thinking of this, he opened the letter without much thought, looked at it carefully, his face changed color slightly, thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and seemed to have made some decision.

The next day, Qing Mu got up early and finished the daily compulsory courses, and his heart was like a mirror. Thinking about the past few days, it feels unbelievable today.

Even if he has been reborn, he has the memory of the previous life, even if he has a deep hatred for Mu Lianyuan, even if he was in the last life, he is in the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power.

The current experience has greatly increased Qing Mu's knowledge, and now his vision is more broad, and he already feels a little impatient with these small power struggles.

But I don't know why people in this world regard power so seriously, that dignity, that eminence, that desire, is it really so important?

"Qingmu, who do you think is coming?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded outside the courtyard door, and Qing Mu knew that it was his brother who had arrived before he turned around, but he didn't know who to bring to see him.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned to look at the figure and was greatly surprised. Standing outside the door was the man in the mask who had saved himself several times.

Qing Mu smiled faintly, walked out slowly, and said, "Are you here?" ”

The man in Qingyi nodded slowly, Qinglun glanced at the two of them, and said, "You talk, there is still something in the Qinglun barracks!" ”

Qing Mu raised his head and stared at him tightly, ignoring his brother's words, Qing Lun chuckled, turned around and left slowly.

"Qingmu, how have you been doing in the past six months?" The man in the shirt continued to ask.

"Not good! Today, Qing Mu has to confirm who is behind this mask? Qing Mu said, and stretched out his hand to take off the mask of the man in Qing Yi.

The man in Qingyi grabbed her little hand, smiled slightly, pulled her into the elegant garden, and said, "Didn't you already tell you?" Do you have to see it for yourself to believe it? ”

"Of course! There are so many secrets in you, you're going to confuse me now! Qing Mu was a little unhappy and said indignantly.

"Alright! All right! In that case, then I have granted your wish! The man in the dress continued, slowly taking off his mask as he spoke.

Qing Mu lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look up, but asked in his mouth, "Okay?" ”

"That's it!" The man in the shirt continued.

Qing Mu closed his eyes tightly, slowly raised his head, and didn't open his eyes for a long time, the man in Qing Yi asked with a smile, "What?" Qingmu, haven't you always wanted to confirm my true identity? I don't even dare to open my eyes until now! ”

Qing Mu shook his head slightly, and said, "No, I'm just worried in my heart, if I open my eyes and see that face is not that face, what will you do for me?" ”

"I promise, you won't be disappointed! Qing Mu, all right! The man in the shirt put his hands on her shoulders and persuaded softly.

Qing Mu seemed to have made a big decision, nodded heavily, and slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was still that handsome face. The familiar face, the man who had been thinking about it for a long time, the one who had puzzled her.

"Humph! Sure enough, it's you! Come and see me today, why are you dressed like this? Qing Mu said angrily.

"Oops! This is what we wore when we first met, and I chose this outfit on purpose! The man in the shirt replied.

Qing Mu still said unrelentingly: "Oh! Isn't there anything to say to me? If you don't say it, I'm leaving! After saying that, he deliberately made a gesture and left.

The man in Qingyi pulled her into his arms and said with a smile: "How can I be willing to let you go!" ”

Qing Mu turned around and glanced at him, and was surprised by his sudden movement.

was a little shy, his face flushed, and said: "You are very well-informed, the news of the first major faction in the rivers and lakes is known so clearly, and it is arranged so well." I wonder if you're one of them. ”

"Haha! Qingmu, you are really smart! Indeed, I am Mr. He's disciple, and I have been practicing martial arts with Master since I was a child! So, according to my seniority, I'm your senior brother! The man in the shirt continued.

"Ahh Muzi, is what you said true? Qing Mu was a little puzzled, but it seemed to be a matter of course, naturally.

It turned out that the man in Qingyi was the crown prince Muqi, but Qingmu was surprised and happy in his heart, and he was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Mu Qi chuckled softly: "Of course! When did I lie to you? ”

"But? It's just that I don't know how to worship the Holy Moon Xuan as a dignified prince? Qing Mu asked with some confusion.

Mu Qi shook his head and said, "Qingmu, you are wrong!" From the beginning to the end, I always felt that I was a man of the rivers and lakes, and I never considered myself a royal person. ”

Compared with the imperial power, I want to go away with the people I like, and laugh proudly! Look at the clouds of the world, and look at the vicissitudes of the three mountains and five mountains.

Qing Mu smiled faintly and said, "It turns out that Mu Qi is just like this!" ”

Mu Qi was a little confused and asked, "Qingmu, don't you like it?" ”

"No, it's just that I still have something to do, would you like to help me?" Qing Mu tried to ask.

"Qing Mu, you have an order, Mu Qi obeys everything, everything is done!" Muzi replied with a smile.

Qing Mu had a bright smile on his face and said, "Okay, thank you Mu Qi!" Now I can represent the General's Mansion and assist you in ascending to the throne. But if there is such a day, I want you to do it for me! ”

Mu Qi shook his head and said, "I know what you said, no need to say it explicitly!" You know what I know, God knows it, but no one else knows! But Qingmu, how can I use you to achieve my goal of ascending to the throne? ”

We should be sincere and honest with each other, and we should not be involved in any other entanglement of interests!

"Humph! Nonsense, don't you know these county lords, and you still need to teach them! Qing Mu said angrily.

Mu Qi looked at Qing Mu's instantaneous change in expression, and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and said, "What? Qingmu, are you angry again? ”

"Humph! In your eyes, am I so angry? ”

"It's not! No! Look at my mouth and say the wrong thing, Qingmu, I just want to marry you, and take care of you for the rest of your life! As for this throne, let's just let it be. Muzi shook his head and replied.

Qing Mu burst out laughing and said, "It turns out that you just want to marry me!" Hum! From now on, you must have a correct attitude, it's not that you want to fight, but that this throne can't fall into the hands of the villain of King Yun! Are you Mingqing? ”

"The Cloud King's methods have indeed been taught many times! If he ascends to the throne, I'm afraid he will kill you, me, and the general's mansion! Muzi said.

"So what?" Qing Mu asked.

"Qingmu, I promise you! Absolutely do not let King Yun ascend to the throne, even if this position is not for me to sit, but it is definitely not for him to sit, do you see this, are you satisfied? Muzi asked with a smile.

"That's pretty much it!" Qing said.

"How? How is your cultivation in Qixia Mountain, and is Master treating you well? Mu Qi looked at Qing Mu, who was still not very happy, and deliberately changed the topic and asked.

"Hmmm! Master has been very good to me! Muzi, what do you think this is? Qing Mu said, picking up the sword from the stone table next to him.

"Moon Slashing Sword?" Muzi exclaimed.

"Hmmm! It was the Moon Slashing Sword, which was given to Qing Mu by the master and his old man! Qing Mu smiled proudly.

Mu Qi deliberately lowered his head, seemed to be a little angry, and said, "Master is so partial!" I've been following me for so many years, and he hasn't given me any gifts! ”

Qing Mu was amused by his instantaneous expression, laughed, and said, "Mu Qi, you are actually jealous!" Hahaha! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Master is really better to Qing Mu than to me! ”

Qing Mu shook his head slowly, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "At that time, I was very strange in my heart, but I didn't know what the situation was at that time?" ”

"Qingmu, do you remember that the four princes were defeated in my hands in Pengcheng at that time, and promised me one thing?" Muzi asked.

"Of course I remember, it's just, why did all the other five people in my group quit except me in the first game?" Qing Mu asked suspiciously.

Mu Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "Qingmu, you guessed wrong this time. It's not that they quit, it's that they simply can't compare! ”

At that time, I secretly hit the acupuncture points on several of them with a small pebble, but this strength did not make them feel anything unusual, but they couldn't continue to run!

"Oh! It turns out that you've been making trouble! Qing Mu said with a smile.

"Qingmu, didn't I promise you at that time? Let you rest assured to compete! Muzi replied.

Qing Mu pulled Mu Qi to sit on the stone bench slowly, and continued to ask, "It's just, what happened to the four princes later?" ”

"Hmmm! On the 15th of August, Namu, I personally asked them to help me complete this matter, but it was only later that the sudden appearance of the Cloud King disrupted some of the plans. ”

Later, when I saw that you were in danger, I had no choice but to come forward to calm this matter! Muzi continued.

"It turns out that if King Yun doesn't come, you don't plan to show up!" Qing Mu said a little angrily.

Mu Qi replied in a low voice: "No, after all, since I was a child, I worshipped Mr. Crane as my teacher, and only Scar knew about it today, so I didn't want my identity to be known by King Yun and the world, so I didn't start the competition that day." ”

In the end, he was defeated by chaos!

"The move you used that day was Master's famous stunt 'Rainstorm Meteor', right? It was only later that the master passed on this style of swordsmanship to me, and I was suspicious at that time, and my heart was full of confusion, and I tried to ask the master, but he refused to say anything! ”

Qing Mu said.

"Hmmm! I told Master and Xiao Rui that I will personally explain this matter to you! Muzi said.

"Rui!" Qing Mu repeated Mu Qi's words just now, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Mu Qi, by the way, Xiao Rui has also come to the capital!" ”

"What is she here for? If you are not in Qixia Mountain, who will take care of Master Qing! Muzi asked, a little surprised.

"This is Master's approval, what's the matter, do you have any opinions about Master and his old man?" Qing Mu asked with a smile.

Mu Qi shook his head and said, "No! No! A few days ago, I received a letter from Master, saying that he had gone out, and I thought that Xiao Rui was still in Qixia Mountain! ”

"Actually, it's nothing. Like me, although I have lived in Qixia Mountain for half a year, I can count the number of times I have seen my master, and I can count it on my fingers! Qing Mu said with a smile.

"Master has always liked to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, that's why that's why it's like this. Qingmu, don't blame Master! Muzi laughed.

"Okay, Master is so kind to us, how can we blame him! Let's go, I'll take you to see Rui! ”

Qing Mu continued, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and then spoke: "Mu Qi, do you know that we borrowed Echeng this time, but there was an unexpected joy next to the Nanjiang River!" Just ......"

"What? What happened? Muzi asked in surprise.

"It can be said that it is quite tragic, but it is also extremely cruel. I really can't imagine that there are such vicious people in the world, even the old and weak, women and children refuse to let go! Qing Mu said angrily.

Thinking of the tragic scene of that day, Qing Mu remembers it vividly.

"What? Did you encounter any danger on the way? Muzi asked with concern.

"Wu Bin, you come out for me! How dare you take the things of this county lord! Xiao Rui shouted angrily outside the wing room of the east courtyard.

After a while, Wu Bin walked out of the room, looked at the little girl in surprise, and muttered, "Miss Xiaorui, what's wrong?" ”

"Wu Bin, tell me clearly, was the dim sum I picked when I entered the city yesterday stolen and ate it?" Xiao Rui asked angrily.

Wu Bin was a little confused, so he hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Miss Xiaorui, what do you think I, Wu Bin, used to be the young owner of Phoenix Villa, how could I do such a thing as stealing food!" ”

"Uh-huh! I think so! It's just that those snacks are indeed gone! Xiao Rui said with some confusion.

Qing Mu and Mu Qi, who had just walked into the East Courtyard, saw this scene. Qing Mu pondered for a while, then understood, smiled faintly, and said loudly: "Xiao Rui, come and see who this is?" ”

Xiao Rui was a little lost, and when he heard Qing Mu's voice, he answered, and without looking back, he said, "Who else can there be!" It's either Xiao Cui or Big Brother Qinglun! Sister, don't tease me! I'm looking for my snacks! ”

"If you turn around, I'll tell you who this thief is?" Qing Mu said with a smile.

Xiao Rui heard what Qing Mu said, his eyes moved away from Wu Bin, slowly turned his head to look at Qing Mu, and said, "Sister Qing Mu, you say-"

He was halfway through his sentence when he stopped. When she saw the two people standing opposite, Qing Mu was expected. But isn't this handsome man the big brother, and who is it!

Xiao Ruiden was stunned in place, looking at Mu Qi on the opposite side in surprise, and after a while, he reacted, strode over, and shouted: "Big brother! Why did you come to the capital too! ”

Mu Qi made a straight face and said coldly: "Hmph! Do you still know that there is a big brother like me? Who told you to leave Qixia Mountain without permission? ”

"Oops! Big brother, you've wronged Xiao Rui! This time I went out with the approval of the Xuan Lord! Xiao Rui hurriedly explained.

"Muzi...... Stop teasing her! Qing Mu opened his mouth to persuade.

Xiao Rui walked up to Mu Qi and said with a smile: "Yes! Yes! Sister Qingmu can testify! ”

"Humph! Less poor mouth! I'll settle accounts with you later! Xiao Rui, the bigger you are, the more unpleasant it is! Muzi continued with a grim and serious expression.

Xiao Rui looked at Mu Qi's gaze, and his heart beat a drum, it has only been a day since he arrived in the capital, he won't drive himself away!

She pondered for a moment, watched Qing Mu and Mu Qi come together, thought about it, walked to Qing Mu's side, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Qing Mu, you promised Xiao Rui!" Take me to the capital to have fun! ”

Qing Mu smiled slightly and said, "Yes! Master, the old man also agreed, but some people......"

As she spoke, she turned her face to look at Mu Qi, and continued with a smile: "I love to put on that stinky shelf, ruthless, and I don't know who it's for?" ”

Xiao Rui heard Qing Mu's words, covered his mouth with his hands, and tried not to let himself laugh out loud, but there was still a smile on his face, Mu Qi was slightly stunned, cleaned up his mood, and said with a smile: "Forget Xiao Rui, this time I won't be like you!" ”

It's already here, just stay honest and don't make trouble!
