Chapter 370: With Your Handle
When the sun went down, Li Qingqing followed Liuyue out of the city in such a daze.
She sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look outside, and found that the more she walked, the more deserted it became, and there was not even a pedestrian on the road, let alone any village.
It wasn't long before she saw a mansion in her sight, which looked like a small castle surrounded by walls like walls.
The carriage was parked under a high wall, and here a gate led to it, and on either side stood a dozen or so expressionless wooden men.
Li Qingqing tiptoed out of the carriage, and she was no longer wearing the clothes of her daughter's family, but wearing the same clothes as those wooden people.
She was very uncomfortable with her dress at this time, not only did she look like a man, but her clothes were still found by most of the governors at random, and they were big for her.
Liuyue got off the horse, and when she turned around, she saw that someone got out of the car and was still looking around, and couldn't help reproaching: "What are you rubbing about?" ”
"I ...... I'm not used to dressing like this......"
Liuyue glanced at her, walked inside first, and said, "Your brother Mei has been pretending to be for five years, and I haven't seen it or not." ”
"She is no longer Brother Mei, she is Sister Mei." Li Qingqing carried a very ill-fitting clothes and trotted to catch up.
They walked among the "wooden men", and the wooden people arched their hands as if they had suddenly come to life: "See the Grand Duke." ”
Li Qingqing looked around as he walked. She knew that the people here were the Xuanyi guards of the Hidden Moon Terrace, the personal guards of the Prime Minister, and the place where she came was the camp of the Hidden Moon Platform.
When her father mentioned the Hidden Moon Platform to her in the past, he refused to say more to her because of fear, only saying that these people have very high martial arts skills, and they also hold more powerful power of life and death than the government, and can take people's lives indiscriminately......
No wonder Sister Mei said that this is the safest place, because not only does no one dare to come here, but even snakes and rats have to take a detour if they want to cross.
She thought that her father should be killed, and she would not believe it, not only did she come to the camp of the Hidden Moon Platform, but she would also live here with the Governor.
It didn't matter where she lived, the most important thing was that she had escaped and regained her freedom.
Li Qingqing couldn't help but smile.
Her laughter drew a sideways glance at Liuyue. Liuyue looked at Li Qingqing inexplicably, and later even if he didn't understand why the stupid girl was smiling, he was relieved, as if he had paid off a debt, which made him feel easier than finishing any errand.
Night.
Li Qingqing lived alone in a small room in the corner of the high wall, she sat on the steps outside the door, holding her chin and looking at the night sky, the sky was full of stars, very beautiful.
She turned her head again and looked around, and saw a man sitting on a high wall, lonely and somewhat lonely.
He has a master and subordinates, but he doesn't seem to have relatives and friends, can he not be lonely?
The Governor was willing to take her in, and she owed him a thank you, so she stood up, patted her clothes, and climbed up the stone staircase up the high wall.
Li Qingqing walked to Liuyue's side only to find that there was a small wine jar beside him. It turned out that he was staying here alone, drinking, and I don't know whether he wanted to kill his sorrow or pass his loneliness.
She couldn't climb the battlement, so she could barely sit on the battlement beside him, and she had a fear of heights since she last fell off a cliff, and had to turn her back to the outside.
Liuyue didn't look at her, and asked lightly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Thank you, thank you for taking me in as a burden."
"Who says you're a burden? If your sister Mei treats you as a burden, she will not be willing to bear the crime of bullying the king to save your life. Liuyue picked up the wine jar and took a sip, and said, "Seriously, you should really thank her, everything that came so hard, just give it up." ”
"Actually, when Sister Mei helped me block Edgeworth, I knew that I would never be able to repay her kindness in my life." Li Qingqing frowned, curious, "But why do you think Sister Mei is not easy?" ”
"She was studying in the academy and was almost executed by Wen Shangshu; was sentenced in Xuanzhou, and was almost tortured to death by mountain bandits; I won't say how many hardships I have experienced in the capital. Liuyue put down the wine jar and said, "She is a good official, worthy of the people and worthy of the master, but it's a pity that the paper didn't cover the fire." ”
"I can see that my sister is also very happy to be with the Prime Minister, which shows that she cares not only about fame, but also about relatives, friends and sweethearts." Li Qingqing sighed, "Governor, don't you have any relatives to care about, why are you sad all day long?" ”
"Sad face?" Liuyue glanced at her, "You are still not convinced by saying that you are an embroidered pillow, and you can't even tell whether others are happy or sad." ”
"Are you drinking here because you're happy?"
Liuyue drank silently and didn't answer her question.
Li Qingqing asked: "You really have no relatives and no friends?" ”
"I was picked up by the old prime minister from the pile of dead people, where to find any relatives, and it is troublesome to have more friends."
"Trouble? How can friends be a nuisance? ”
Liuyue looked at Li Qingqing, shook her head and sighed secretly, if you have friends, you will have a weakness, once the other party has a good one, if he doesn't save it, he will be at ease; If you save it, it will inevitably go beyond the rules. It's like he once begged his master for a person, and almost made the master and his wife have a disagreement.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Qingqing asked again: "Then why are you in the pile of dead people?" ”
Liuyue replied casually: "Natural disaster? War? Anyway, a lot of people died, I can't remember exactly, my family should have died a long time ago. ”
"No wonder you are loyal to the Prime Minister, it turns out that you are an orphan who was raised by the Prime Minister's father." Li Qingqing's gaze fell on the saber he placed beside him, and he took it and looked at it, "Is Xingyun next to the Prime Minister the same?" ”
"I don't know if Xingyun is an orphan, he also grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since he was a child, but he is different from me, he is the master's entourage and is responsible for taking care of the master, and I am the guard."
"No wonder you're so good at martial arts."
Li Qingqing held the hilt of the sword, pulled out the sword and looked at it. The face of the sword glowed with cold light in the reflection of the moon, and it shone like a mirror. She touched it gently, her fingertips cold.
"Be careful to cut your hands."
Li Qingqing closed the sword and returned the object to its original owner. She found that he didn't drink so much wine only when she talked to Liuyue, and then asked, "Does Xingyun know martial arts?" ”
Liuyue nodded.
"Then who is better between you and his martial arts?"
Liuyue didn't think twice, "Nonsense! ”
Li Qingqing pursed his lips, and then asked, "Will the Prime Minister know?" ”
"The old lady does not allow the master to touch the sword, and does not allow the master to practice martial arts, the master secretly learned when he was young, and was found by the old lady, and knelt under the sun for three hours."
"Ah...... Why? ”
Liuyue glanced at her contemptuously, "What why, why are you talking so much tonight!" ”
"No matter how fierce you are, no matter how fierce you are, I will tell the Prime Minister, saying that you told me the anecdote that he was punished for kneeling, and the Prime Minister will definitely punish you." Li Qing was also straightforward, and he covered his mouth and snickered, "I now have the handle of the Metropolitan Governor." ”
Liuyue casually rewarded her with a burst of chestnuts, "ungrateful!" ”
"It hurts!"
Li Qingqing covered his head and subconsciously leaned back, forgetting that there was a high wall several feet high behind him. Fortunately, a force grabbed her back in time and didn't let her fall.
She is used to it, and often when she is saved by him, she has to listen to him complain: "What stupid!" ”
