The man's face is like a green bamboo in the dusk, handsome and elegant, clean and fresh. Dressed in a green robe, Xiao Xiao is handsome, as if he is not burdened by fame and fortune, clean as snow, like a river spring.

The slightly messy hair on his forehead covered his eyebrows, revealing handsome eyebrows, dark pupils, thin and cool lips, a lazy and casual smile, gentle but not alienated, as if he didn't care about everything.

He looked at Hua Qingmo, whose eyes were covered by a black cloth, and his eyebrows seemed to be a little softer in an instant.

"Cousin, don't come unharmed."

She has thought about many people behind these men in black. Situ Yuanyou, Situ Heng, and even Situ Xuan, but she forgot Chu Yanqian. After all, the news came that he and Situ Yuanche led a large army to Jizhou City to fight the enemy, and it was common for him to miss him.

"Chu Shizi?" Hua Qingmo pretended to be puzzled in response, but her eyes did not leave Chu Yanqian at all. Although she didn't know why Chu Yanqian was here, this person was more difficult than Situ Heng and Situ Yuanyou in terms of a certain number of years.

"Stand down, all of you." Chu Yanqian waved his hand, and the black-clothed man behind Hua Qingmo escorted the green fox and the cat out of the main hall, and finally left the two of them and closed the door quietly.

Suddenly, the main hall seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shadows, and it was dark and a little weird.

"Cousin is still so calm, even if you are held hostage, it is difficult to see a trace of panic on your face." Chu Yanqian looked at Hua Qingmo, smiling casually and lazily. The dark eyes are like a deep whirlpool, and it seems that if you look at it for a moment, you will be absorbed into it. "But cousin, I'm really curious, I don't know how my cousin's face will be different from ordinary moments when she looks panicked? I really want to see it! ”

Hua Qingmo did not have any reaction to Chu Yanqian's seemingly meaningful words. She reached out and took the black cloth that covered her eyes, closed them for a moment, and then slowly opened them.

Chu Yanqian in front of him leaned on the rosewood carved rose chair behind him, and his posture was lazy. The cyan brocade robe on his body showed many wrinkles because of his movements, and he looked very lazy and casual.

On the wide sleeved robe, the red plum pattern of folded branches is embroidered with black and red fine threads, and on the white collar, the red plum is dotted, and the ice is elegant and clean. It seems to be very different from him in ordinary moments.

"Cousin has this time to be interested, it's better to think about how to solve the current predicament of the imperial court, the emperor seems to believe in you, and you should also be worthy of the emperor's trust!" Hua Qingmo looked at Chu Yanqian, her voice was flat and gentle. Immediately, she looked down at Mo Mo, and her gaze suddenly softened. "Mo Mo, this is your cousin, Chu Yanqian."

"Cousin?" When Mo Mo heard this title, there was a slight doubt in her voice. She looked sideways at Chu Yanqian, as if she was looking him up and down.

As for Chu Yanqian, his gaze also shifted to Mo Mo because of Hua Qingmo's words.

The familiar facial features made Chu Yanqian slightly surprised, and a little suspicion appeared on his handsome face. Immediately, his gaze returned to Hua Qingmo's face, and his voice was still casual: "Nine thousand-year-old child? ”

"Hmm!" Hua Qingmo nodded, and did not hide anything from Chu Yanqian. Anyway, at this time, there is no point in concealing it.

"No wonder Nine Thousand Years Old loves her so much, of course her own children love her more." Chu Yan opened his mouth with a meaning, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more profound. He stood up, walked behind Hua Qing, put his hands on her shoulders, pushed her to the rose chair in the house next to her, and then pressed her shoulders to make her sit down. "We're enemies now, but that's just on the battlefield. At this moment, this son is still your cousin, and the blood relationship between us will not change in any way because of this kind of thing. ”

Hearing Chu Yanqian's words, Hua Qingmo just smiled faintly, her voice was calm, but her tone was as far-reaching as the eternal starlight: "Cousin, this word sounds like a joke to Mo'er. You and I both know very well in our hearts that blood relationship is not as good as a loyal word. Since ancient times, there have been too many people who have abandoned their wives and children for a loyal word, and even killed their wives and children. ”

"Heh......" Hua Qingmo's words made Chu Yanqian chuckle, and he walked to the rose chair placed opposite Hua Qingmo and sat down. Immediately, he lay on the long table on the side, looking at Hua Qingmo casually, extremely leisurely. "Cousin, what are you doing here? It is impossible for you not to know the future situation of the Eastern Customs, and with your temperament, I am afraid that you will not get involved in these troublesome things. Why are you here? ”

"Mo'er is just here to meet a friend." Hua Qingmo replied lightly, then she looked at Chu Yanqian and said, "It is said that my cousin went to play Jizhou City with Prince De, how could he appear in the East Customs?" The distance between these two places is very far, my cousin shouldn't suddenly be interested, and he is going to go around Jizhou City from Donghaiguan, right? ”

"My cousin really understands this world, I did suddenly have an interest, and I am going to go around Jizhou City in Donghaiguan." When Chu Yanqian heard Hua Qingmo's words, he took it directly and followed what she had just said. He knew very well that Hua Qingmo was making fun of himself, but since he couldn't tell her the truth, joking seemed to be the best.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Chu Yanqian didn't know why the scene of seeing Hua Qingmo for the first time in Xihua Palace appeared in his heart. At that time, she was like a jasmine that had just bloomed its buds, not outstanding, not special, but gentle and quiet, calm and tranquil, and now she is still so calm, but it blooms for half a summer, and the beauty is intoxicating, and the beauty is crazy. Situ Yuanche and Situ Heng are like this.

In fact, if it were her, maybe she could consider it.

It's just that there is never an what ifs in this world.

"Mo'er, did you say that the most beautiful scenery in the world was the beginning of the road? In the beginning, everyone around them was there, whether it was a good person, a bad person, a stranger, or a familiar person, they were all there. Chu Yanqian's voice softened, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, becoming ethereal and illusory. He raised his hand and reached upwards, as if trying to grasp the sky high above. But the roof of the house was in his way, and he couldn't touch the sky, let alone see it.

Through the gap between his fingers, Chu Yanqian saw not the beautiful blue, but the dark tiles, the thick black beams and pillars, and the trapped square inch.

"On the way, the scenery is constantly changing, and the people around you are constantly passing, leaving, and meeting, and one day you will find that it doesn't matter if those who have left are good or bad. What was important at the time may not be important now, what you hated at the time may not be hated now, and what you loved at that time may not be loved now. When Chu Yanqian said this, the corners of his lips gently outlined a shallow arc, like a white mist floating in the mountains and forests.

Looking at Chu Yanqian, who was a little different from the usual, Hua Qingmo was silent for a moment and nodded: "The most beautiful is the beginning, but ......"

Hua Qingmo looked down at Mo Mo who was playing alone in her arms, and her eyes were extremely gentle: "We always have to endure separation, cross sadness, and keep meeting some people and separating from others." It is impossible for people to stand still, it is impossible to look at only one scenery forever, the more you move forward, the longer the road will be, and the longer the road you walk, the more you will change. The most beautiful may be the beginning, but what is even more beautiful is the future. ”

"What's more beautiful is the future." Chu Yanqian repeated Hua Qingmo's words, and the smile on the corner of his lips gradually deepened. He stood up, walked over to Hua Qingmo, and leaned over to look at her. The faces of the two were only a stone's throw away, and they seemed to be able to feel their breath when they were so close.

"Mo'er, it's really easy to talk to you, and it makes people feel very comfortable. But in the future, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity. You leave here as soon as you see that friend, and don't stay at the East Customs, you know? Chu Yanqian stood up, turned around and walked to the inner hall, and when he reached the door, he stopped, his voice was casual but very gentle: "Mo'er, have you got the secret medicine of the Ghost Valley?" ”

Chu Yanqian's words made Hua Qingmo's body stunned, and the smile on the corner of her lips froze for a moment. She turned her head and looked at Chu Yanqian's slender back, her voice was still calm: "That's something that harms people's lives, I won't use it, it's not because I've become kind, it's just that after having Momo, I suddenly feel that people's lives have become heavier in my eyes." However, I know very well that it is impossible for me not to kill people in the future, but I don't want to take the lives of those innocent people lightly. ”

"In that case, get out of here, it's going to change soon." After Chu Yanqian said this, he entered the inner hall and did not say anything else.

And Hua Qingmo sat in the main hall for a moment before getting up and going out.

On the way back, Hua Qingmo had been pondering Chu Yanqian's last words, and suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in her heart. She hoped that it was her own delusion, but from Chu Yanqian's strange appearance today and those strange words, Hua Qingmo knew that there would be earth-shaking changes in Donghaiguan soon.

Sighing slightly, Hua Qingmo looked sideways at the cat, and said profoundly: "Cat, inform Yun Xie to go to an open place, I don't want to dirty our yard." ”

"Yes, young master, the cat understands." The cat replied coldly, and looked at a few places casually. Those people's tracking skills are indeed superb, but it is harder to hide from her than to ascend to the sky.

The cat quickly signaled Yun Xie and the others to a deserted courtyard about two miles away from their yard. After sending the signal, the cat looked at Hua Qingmo and said respectfully: "Young master, when we go, the eldest brother should have already arrived." ”

"Hmm!" Hua Qingmo replied and didn't say anything else. Then, as if walking, the three of them led their followers to the desolate courtyard.

In the courtyard, Hua Qingmo looked at the surrounding weeds, broken walls and stones on the ground, and smiled softly, with a gentle voice: "It is indeed a good place to kill people and hide, you have been following me for so long, how do you feel about ending me in this place?" ”
