Chapter 35 Old acquaintances in the capital

Mu Xie remembered that the princess had said that this courtyard used to be inhabited as a concubine, and later it was rumored that she was given to die.

The one in front of you is most likely the concubine.

Presumably, the person in the barrel in front of him must be worse than death, who is so vicious to her, Mu Xie didn't dare to think about it, but his mind passed over the figure of the kind-hearted queen mother on the day of the princess's birthday banquet.

After a while, the wood evil jumped out of the dry well.

What could he do in the face of such things?

Seeing Mu Xie come out, the princess hurriedly ran over and hugged Mu Xie.

"Why did you come out now, leaving me here alone, I'm scared. Princess Changle said coquettishly.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid you'll be scared, so I'll come out quickly!" Mu Xie smiled.

"What's in this dry well?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary dry well. Mu Xie said lightly, but he was suddenly bored in his heart, and he never looked at the dry well again.

At that time, the two fathers-in-law walked into the courtyard, and the princess Mu Xie was forced to hide in the old house, because the princess was a little scared, so she did not see the two eunuchs outside the house at that time, and she had no way of knowing what Mu Xie was worried about.

In the curtain, the princess and the wood evil came out of the dilapidated courtyard, and the princess pretended to call the wood evil, and the two walked towards the harem gate one after the other.

There is a lively place at the east gate of Tenkyo Castle called the Genryu Gate. There is a huge statue here, and the small Dongmen Street next to the statue is overcrowded, which is a famous commercial area in the city of Tenkyo.

In this lively street, there is a plain-clothed woman who walks alone on the street like a fairy, and the young men who pass by her all look back.

Wanyue was dressed in white, and she went out on the street alone and deliberately changed her hairstyle.

"Catch the thief, the man in yellow has stolen my money bag. A man dressed as a merchant shouted anxiously, and ran in the direction of the thief, with a thin beard and a somewhat amusing look.

The thief heard the merchant shouting, a little panicked, desperate to run desperately, there are many people in the street, the thief all the way to avoid the flow of people, and not push the crowd, suddenly an old woman was pushed to the ground by her, and then another girl was pushed to the ground by her.

The thief ran wildly in front, and the merchant, although he was very slow, did not give up at all, and shouted while chasing: "The man in yellow in front stole my money bag, he is a thief, stop him, stop him!"

"Catch the thief, don't let him run away!" someone in the crowd shouted.

The thief looked around anxiously, and when the thief accidentally bumped into the sign outside the liquor store, he staggered and fell.

At this time, two young men came up bravely, and one of them was about to catch the thief at the moment, when the thief suddenly took out a short-handled knife and drew it twice at the age of the man.

In the stalemate, the thief was surrounded in the middle of the crowd, and the thief who could escape looked around nervously, then hugged a girl near him and took a hostage, and the thief shouted loudly: "Give Lao Tzu to step back, let me go, otherwise Lao Tzu will die and wipe the neck of this little sister with a knife." ”

The thief's roar really worked, and the people around him began to slowly retreat. This is the merchant who stole the money bag and chased after him, and when he saw that everyone was making way for the thief, he shouted anxiously: "What's wrong with you, don't go back, catch the thief, who will help catch the thief, I... I will reward ten taels of silver. ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the crowd began to whisper, the income of ordinary people is only a few copper plates a day, which is ten taels of silver!

The girl who was held hostage was already frightened, her face was full of pain, and tears were shining in the corners of her eyes, which everyone saw that her neck had been cut by a sharp blade, and a stream of blood flowed from the mouth to her collar.

Two more jumped out, one of them with a single eyelid that did not look like a good person, and they were in a posture ready to capture the thief, without regard for the girl's safety.

The thief took a step back, he was also in a hurry, the knife in his hand trembled a little, but in order to frighten the two who were about to capture him, he wanted to kill the girl who was being held hostage, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Suddenly, a figure flashed from the restaurant not far away, a man dressed in white, floating like a swallow.

The man in white stretched out two fingers in the air to point at the thief, and a true qi hit the thief's wrist, and the short knife in his hand fell to the ground with his cry of pain.

Immediately afterwards, the man in white spun around in the air, and his right hand turned into a palm and shot again.

The thief was knocked away by a palm and hit the wall, and the single eyelid quickly stepped forward and grabbed the thief, who had already fainted.

The man in white floated down and landed in the center of the crowd.

The girl who had just been held hostage walked to the man in white, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, endured the pain and reluctantly smiled and thanked the man in white: "Thank you for saving Childe, dare to ask Childe's name." ”

"Below, Liu Qingsong. Girl, are you alright?"

"Liu Gongzi's life-saving grace, please accept my worship. The girl who was being held hostage knelt down as she spoke.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hands to help the girl up.

"Why should the girl be like this, when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, it is as it should be. What's more, this thief is threatening the life of a woman with you!"

"Liu Gongzi is really a kind person, and there is no way to repay the grace of saving his life, so he can only thank the benefactor again. The girl had just been helped up by Liu Qingsong, but she knelt down again.

"Where, where, girl, please hurry up, I really don't dare to be it!"

At this time, the girl's mother hurriedly arrived, and she also thanked Liu Qingsong in every way.

The crowd around began to disperse, Wanyue walked over from the crowd, she didn't have any specific goals, just stayed in the hotel room for a few days in a row, very bored, and came out today to take a break and pass the boring day.

After saying goodbye to the girl's mother and daughter, Liu Qingsong was about to turn around and leave.

The moment he turned around, he saw a familiar figure, a scene that he had been thinking about for a long time.

On that afternoon with a light rain, on the shore of the Qinyu Lake, the girl holding Bujuan.

Liu Qingsong was stunned, he only felt that his heart was beating extremely fast.

Could that dream-like woman really be the one he saw standing beside him when he turned around just now? Liu Qingsong had doubts in his heart, and he was even a little scared, if it really was? How should he greet her, and how should he introduce himself? Did she see the scene of saving people just now?

Just as he hesitated, Wanyue had already passed by him and walked in front of him.

Liu Qingsong's eyes widened, his expression was excited, his lips trembled and he shouted: "Girl, please stay..."

"That voice seems to be calling me, isn't it?" Wanyue thought to herself, and turned around.

She saw Liu Qingsong behind her, and asked suspiciously, "Is Childe calling me?"

Liu Qingsong looked at Wanyue, who turned around, and was a little stunned.

"Sure enough, it's her, a scene that stayed in my heart when I was a teenager, I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be able to meet again, this is a great fate!" Liu Qingsong's heart was surging.

"Yes..."

"The girl looks so familiar, dare to ask the girl's name, and where did it come from?"

Wanyue was asked, and she took a closer look at Liu Qingsong.

At this time, Liu Qingsong has changed a lot from when she was a teenager, and Wanyue is really a little unrecognizable.

"Childe, is this important? we don't know each other, right?" Wanyue replied softly.

Liu Qingsong took a step forward and said excitedly: "No, it's very important to me. Dare to ask the girl if she knows about the famous ancient city?"

Liu Qingsong firmly believes that the person in front of him is the girl he met when he was a teenager, and he will not admit his mistake.

"Oh, Childe knows that we are famous in the ancient city? I grew up in the ancient city. Wanyue smiled softly.

Liu Qingsong looked very excited: "I wonder if the girl still remembers that about nine years ago, on the shore of Qinyu Lake, a young man gave you an umbrella?"

Wanyue seemed to remember something, and her eyes looked at Liu Qingsong more gently.

"It's Liu Gongzi! It's been a long time. I didn't expect to be able to see you here after so much time. ”

"Girl, do you remember the name below?" asked Liu Qingsong, staring at Wanyue affectionately.

"Remember, isn't it Liu Qingsong and Liu Gongzi?" Wan Yue smiled softly after speaking.

"Yes, I can remember the girl's name in the next! ”

As the two said each other's names, Liu Qingsong and Wan Yue began to talk like acquaintances. At the invitation of Liu Qingsong, the two walked side by side to the nearby teahouse.

As the sun sets, the moon creeps up the treetops.

Mu Xie was holding a bouquet of fragrant flowers and carrying some snacks and snacks that he had just bought when he passed by the night market. Mu Xie knew that he didn't accompany Wanyue today, Wanyue must have been bored for another day today, and what he prepared could be regarded as an apology to Wanyue.

"It's strange, why didn't this girl Wanyue sleep so early?" Mu Xie walked outside the door of Wanyue's room, but saw that there was no candlelight in the room.

He knocked lightly on the door a few times, but got no response, so he whispered Wanyue's name a few times, but there was still no response, and then Mu Xie was sure that Wanyue was really not in the room.

"It's so late, where can this girl Wanyue go? Something can't happen?"

"I haven't heard that Wanyue has acquaintances in this capital!"

Mu Xie felt worried about Wanyue, and was afraid that something would happen to her, but after thinking about it, Wanyue was very good, and she felt that Wanyue was in trouble, because she was too worried.

Mu Xie put the snacks he bought in his room, and immediately left the restaurant.

He decided to look around for Xia Wanyue, after all, it was already night, she was a girl at home, even though she was strong in martial arts, Mu Xie was still very worried about her.

His judgment was that Wanyue should be near the restaurant, this Wanyue was not a person who liked to join in the fun, she must have felt bored and walked near the hotel.

For a long time, Mu Xie has searched all the places he frequents near the restaurant, but Wanyue is still nowhere to be seen.

He decided to wait at the place where he had to go back to the restaurant, which was a fork in the road, one leading to the palace and the other to the restaurant where they were staying.

The fork in the road is a good location, there is a lot of traffic here, and it is a bustling place, and the first shop next to the fork is a pawnshop. There were two red lanterns at the door of the pawnshop, and Mu Xie stood under the lanterns and waited for Wanyue to return.
