Chapter 6: Cousin

The group entered Yuecheng and began to get busy, Nangong Jin chose a good inn in the city, according to his arrangement, Liu Yingxue continued to live in a room with him, she obediently laid out the futon on the ground, and was extra active in doing things.

The man she met at the gate of the city was her cousin, a relative of her mother, when her mother was still alive, the two families had many contacts, and she also played with Gao Mingxuan, in the impression that this cousin was a gentle person, taught her to paint, and took her to fly a kite, and now only he can save her.

She stood at the window, watching the guys carry boxes of medicinal herbs to the carriage, with another plan in her heart, she took the initiative to say to Nangong Jin; "It's better for the slave to help the son send the medicinal herbs."

Nangong Jin waved his hand, took out a few ingots of silver and handed them to Mu Qing, and said with a chuckle: "I will handle the business matters, you are still a little girl, you don't understand anything, let Mu Qing take you out to eat something delicious, don't stay in the inn in the afternoon." ”

Mu Qing took the silver, snorted at her, and snorted coldly; "You have to take this girl with you for everything, it's really not free."

Nangong Jin patted Mu Qing on the shoulder and continued to say with a smile: "Just remember one thing, don't lose her." ”

"Yes, Childe." Mu Qing clenched his hands into fists, but his tone was careless.

Liu Yingxue seems to see a glimmer of hope, being trapped in the house is like a prison, as long as she can get out of the inn, there is always hope, but Nangong Jin's approach is a bit mysterious, as if she is deliberately separating her and Mu Qing, is there any secret in it?

She couldn't care about anything other than leaving.

She walked out of the inn with Mu Qing, and they walked through several streets to the most lively and prosperous place in Yuecheng, surrounded by bustling crowds and the shouts of the vendors, even though there were many dazzling things on the streets, Mu Qing still stared at her intently.

Liu Yingxue's little nose twitched, and she deliberately made an aggrieved appearance: "Mu Qing, I'm hungry." ”

Mu Qing swept the silver taels in his hand, and only squeezed out a sentence after half a sound; "As long as you don't mess with me, I'll take you to something good."

"Now that the war is in chaos, how can I escape, I have food and shelter with my son, I am already content." When Liu Yingxue said this, she tried to avoid Mu Qing's eyes, for fear that he would see that he was lying.

Raising her eyes, Liu Yingxue saw Gao Mingxuan's figure again, he was wearing a brown coat, slowly walking towards a restaurant, her heart was pounding, she wanted to rush to him all at once and let him take her away, but she stopped her impulse, she knew that Mu Qing had kung fu, and her kung fu was not bad, maybe she was knocked out by Mu Qing before she walked in front of Gao Mingxuan.

She rubbed her hands, licked her lips, and said in a glutinous voice; "Why don't we go to the restaurant in front of us to eat, there is a lot of food in the restaurant, there are all kinds of bun fillings, sweet and salty."

Mu Qing likes to eat steamed buns, and after listening to her words, her face has always been tense and gradually eased, and her eyes showed a desire for food.

When the two came to the restaurant, Liu Yingxue pulled Mu Qing's sleeve and deliberately sat at the table closest to Gao Mingxuan, she deliberately raised her voice a few points, and said to the shopkeeper: "Take your restaurant's signature steamed buns in a cage, and bring another bowl of soup cakes." ”

Sure enough, as she expected, Gao Mingxuan heard a familiar voice and turned his head to look over, Liu Yingxue was extremely excited in her heart, from his stunned eyes, she knew that he recognized herself, and her goal was finally achieved.

Even if Gao Mingxuan was in front of her, she didn't dare to recognize each other with a big grin, lest there be a clue, in order to express the meaning of asking for help, her index finger dipped in tea, and drew a small bird on the brown tabletop, the bird was locked in a cage, she drew seven or eight points similar, and the bird was also what he once taught her to draw.

She only dared to look at him, her dark eyes were full of endless anticipation, and she looked more and more pitiful, and her petite body was like a little grass fluttering in the wind, which made people feel pity.

Between the lightning and flint, Gao Mingxuan met her eyes, he understood what she meant, his right fist was clenched tightly, his brows frowned slightly, and his clear face looked patient.

"You've got a pretty cute bird." Mu Qing ate the bun deliciously, biting into the thin skin, not noticing her abnormality at all.

She ate the soup cake and replied lightly: "I will have some simple danqing." ”

Mu Qing was full of food and drink, and took her out of the restaurant, and before leaving, she glanced at Gao Mingxuan with a heavy heart, hoping that he could save her.
