Chapter 160: Nightmare
Calm returned to the hall, and Yue Qingqian called softly, "Moon Shadow." β
A gust of wind flashed, and the moon shadow appeared in front of Yue Qingqian, "What do you command?" β
Yue Qingqian smiled, this Moon Shadow really deserves to be Qin Moxuan's right-hand man, and even this indifferent temperament is very similar to Qin Moxuan. What kind of master there is, what kind of subordinates there are.
Moon Shadow has always been indifferent, and when she met Yue Qing's light smile, she didn't know how to react for a while.
"...... What to laugh at? She asked a little stiffly.
Yue Qing smiled lightly, and suddenly asked, "Moon Shadow, how old are you this year?" β
Moon Shadow was stunned and replied, "Hui Niangniang, my subordinate is sixteen this year." β
Yue Qingqian was a little surprised, she didn't expect that this Moon Shadow's age was much younger than herself. Let someone younger than herself protect her own safety, Yue Qingqian has an indescribable awkwardness.
She looked at the eyes reflected under the silver mask of Moon Shadow, and only felt that they were very clear, but this gaze was a little colder.
The sixteen-year-old girl was supposed to be the hand of embroidering and playing the piano, but she used it to hold a cold sword to kill.
She somewhat learned from Qin Moxuan that the shadow guard he had cultivated.
They were all orphans, and they were picked up by Qin Moxuan when they were young.
Yue Qingqian didn't know why, she always felt that Moon Shadow's eyes were very similar to Huanhuan, obviously two completely different people, but she felt like it.
Moon Shadow appeared in front of her some time after Qin Moxuan left, saying that she was ordered by Qin Moxuan to protect her.
At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, until she looked directly into her clear eyes. It's too similar, so I pay a little more attention.
"Do you like plum blossoms?" Yue Qingqian unconsciously said this sentence.
Moon Shadow was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Yue Qingqian to suddenly ask this.
Yue Qingqian smiled and said, "Bengong just asked casually, it's okay if you don't answer." Hongu just thinks that you look a little like an old man in Hongu. β
Moon Shadow didn't reply, just listened quietly.
Yue Qingqian retracted her strange emotions and said with a smile: "The conversation between Bengong and Qiuyue just now, I think you also heard it, and it will be more troublesome for you to catch the medicine in the future." β
Moon Shadow said respectfully: "Your Majesty sent his subordinates down, not only to protect Niangniang, but also to facilitate Niangniang to do some things. If the mother has something, just instruct her subordinates, and don't have to be too polite to her subordinates. β
Yue Qing smiled lightly, looked at Moon Ying thoughtfully, and said, "I heard Mu Jin say that you are arrogant and will not easily agree to other people's requests. β
Moon Shadow choked and said truthfully: "Back to the queen mother, in fact, Your Majesty said a few words when he ordered his subordinates to protect you. β
Yue Qingqian didn't speak, just waited quietly for the following.
Moon Shadow continued: "Your Majesty said that your subordinates can only be responsible for the safety of the queen's mother, and as for whether to recognize the queen's mother as the master, it is up to the subordinates to choose. β
"Looks like you've already made your choice."
Moon Shadow nodded, "Your Majesty also said that if it is the queen's mother, the subordinates will still choose the queen's mother as the master of the subordinates in the end." Originally, the subordinates didn't understand His Majesty's words, but in these days when he was secretly protecting his mother, his subordinates had already understood the meaning of His Majesty's words. β
"In this world, in addition to Your Majesty, only the queen can be the master of her subordinates."
It was the first time that Yue Qingqian had seen such an arrogant method of recognizing the lord, so she smiled helplessly and asked, "Why do you think so?" β
"This question was also asked by his subordinates. His Majesty said that those who can tame a thousand miles of horses may not only be tamed by horse trainers, but also those who are voluntarily tamed. The same is true for his subordinates, as if Jiang Taigong is fishing. β
Yue Qingqian laughed out loud and said, "I thought you were indifferent, but I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting side." β
Moon Shadow said seriously: "Niangniang, my subordinates are not joking and amusing Niangniang. β
The smile on Yue Qingqian's face stopped for a long time, picked up the cup on the side, and said with a smile: "Since you regard this palace as the master, can you take off this mask on your face in front of this palace?" β
Moon Shadow was stunned, a little hesitant.
Yue Qingqian waved her hand and said, "Okay, since you don't want to be in this palace, I won't force you." β
Moon Shadow said: "This mask has been worn since his subordinates became His Majesty's shadow guards, and I have never taken off this mask in front of people. Therefore, Niangniang wanted to see it, and her subordinates were a little surprised for a while, but it was not that she didn't want to show Niangniang. β
"Come to think of it, you're still a little unaccustomed to it, so let's take it off when you volunteer."
"Yes." Lunaris was indeed not mentally prepared to take off her mask in front of people.
β¦β¦
That night, a group of black-clothed people quietly entered a small building in the water.
However, before they could get close to the main house, they were stopped by the guards, and the two sides were entangled.
It had rained for several days, and although the rain had stopped tonight, the air was still very humid, and there were still some droplets of water on the eaves.
Qin Moxuan knelt in the room, dealing with things with peace of mind, as if he was not affected by the fight from the outside world in the slightest, as if it had never happened.
The fight outside the house seemed to be getting more and more intense, and the tied door was still bumped into from time to time, making a relatively loud noise.
It was difficult for Qin Moxuan to be unaffected at all, and he tasted tea with great interest.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the fight outside gradually became much quieter, which showed that the fight was nearing its end.
There was a slight sound on the roof, and Qin Moxuan's star-like eyes burst out with two cold rays.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and a man in black burst out of the roof.
He held a long sword in his hand and stabbed straight like Qin Moxuan.
Qin Moxuan's body did not move, and he was still drinking tea calmly.
Just as the sword was about to stab him, a shadow guard dressed in black and wearing a silver mask appeared in the room, and he quickly blocked the sword for Qin Moxuan. The two black figures quickly became entangled, and the Shadow Guard's martial arts were higher than that of the assassin, and it was naturally effortless to deal with the assassin.
Soon, the shadow guard had subdued the assassin to the ground.
Qin Moxuan looked at the shadow guard indifferently and said, "Your master is really unable to hold his breath, it hasn't been long since he came to Huacheng this month, and this assassin has already sent several batches. β
The assassin was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant, and said stiffly: "If you want to kill, you have to kill, listen to it!" β
Qin Moxuan sneered and said, "If you were really tough, you would have committed suicide the moment you were subdued, but who are you doing like this now?" β
The assassin frowned, and said angrily: "Qin Moxuan, if you are a man, kill me, less nonsense!" I'm not going to tell you anything. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shadow Guard had already punched him, and the punch was not clear, and the assassin's face was already bruised.
Qin Moxuan was not annoyed, he just stared at this person quietly, "If you don't say it, Gu also knows who sent you." β
The assassin said dismissively, "Huh! If you had known, you would not have spared my life. It's just a clichΓ©. But there was still a fleeting sense of panic on his face.
"What that man is doing behind his back, do you really think that Lone doesn't know anything about it? Didn't your master take the opportunity to get rid of Taibao Chen Rui just to disrupt the current situation so that he could do other things? Qin Moxuan sneered.
When the assassin heard this, surprise flashed on his face, and Qin Moxuan said again: "However, your master has arranged other things very well, but it's a pity that he is too confident. Sending you to kill Lone, but not hiring the assassins in the rivers and lakes, so you are so confident that Lone will not find any clues? β
The assassin's face was shocked again, Qin Moxuan retracted his gaze and said to the shadow guard: "Take him down and interrogate him properly." β
"Yes."
The shadow guard took the assassin down, but at this critical moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot into Qin Moxuan's chest, dripping with blood.
Qin Moxuan's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he fell......
"Qin Moxuan!" Yue Qingqian shouted in panic and suddenly woke up from her dream.
She sat up from her bed, her forehead drenched with sweat and her face a little pale in the dim light.
Her messy hair was stuck to her face with the sweat, and she looked very panicked.
"Mother, but it's a nightmare?" Qiu Yue heard the movement and hurriedly came over with a lamp.
The candlelight was faintly bright, and Yue Qingqian suddenly realized that what he had just seen was just a dream.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was just a nightmare.
"This palace is fine, it's just a dream, you go down and rest."
Qiu Yue took a glass of water and handed it to Yue Qingqian, and said, "Okay, if the mother is in need, just call the slave maid." β
Yue Qingqian took a sip and nodded.
After Qiu Yue left, Yue Qingqian lay down again.
She seemed to have become more dreamy, but she didn't know whether this dream was a prophecy or a dream.
Although Yue Qingqian was glad that this was just a dream, there was a faint uneasiness in her heart. Since Qin Moxuan left, her heart has never been steady, and now she has such a dream.
In fact, she had already judged that this was a dream, and the prophecy would generally be clear, but the dream would be a little vague.
She was always a little uneasy in her heart, for fear that what happened in this dream would finally come true.
She could only try to convince herself that it was just a dream. At this moment, when I recall those scenes, some details are no longer remembered.
Yue Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't sleep at all, so she opened her eyes until dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, Yue Qingqian summoned Mu Jin.
There are some things that she still has to figure out herself.
"Wechen see the queen's mother."
"Get up."
"I don't know what the queen called Weichen to come?" Mu Jin didn't expect Yue Qingqian to summon her.
Yue Qingping retreated left and right, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty and you, what are you planning in secret?" β
Mu Jin was slightly stunned, then smiled slightly, and said, "What does Niang Niang think?" β
Yue Qingqian looked directly at Mu Jin, her expression was slightly solemn, and said, "Your real purpose is not to get rid of Chen Rui. In other words, Chen Rui is just an introduction, the person you really want to deal with is someone else! β
