"I don't know what to call the eldest brother?"

Tayun is not something that ordinary people can afford, once in Xiqi, even the royal family did not have two horses, so Luo Qibian will never forget it.

Relatively speaking, Dongli actually has fewer sycophants, and such a precious breed is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

"Meng Qing, if you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Meng." The man smiled politely.

"Brother Meng," Duanmu Qing immediately called, "My name is Mo Qing, this is the sister Mo Forget, Brother Xie Meng took it in." ”

"Miss Mo is polite."

There are no east and west wings in the house, only the main room, but there are two rooms.

In such a small courtyard, only Meng Qing lived alone.

"Miss, this Meng Qing is not simple." When the door closes, don't forget to speak immediately.

Regarding this, Duanmu Qing does not deny it.

It is frugal everywhere, it looks like an ordinary farm yard, and even those farm tools still have some soil on them, which can be seen to be often used.

However, in such a courtyard, Duanmu Qing found that the teacup on the table in the main room was the most exquisite bone china.

Crystal clear, you can almost see the flickering lights through the walls of the cup.

And the horse, which treads the clouds.

Hearing Duanmu Qing say this, Mo Forget was shocked: "He hid it so well?!" ”

Shaking his head, Duanmu Qing said: "No, he didn't hide it, because he didn't say that he was an ordinary farmer." ”

"That'...... Miss, we ......."

"Sleep! I'm going to have to go tomorrow morning. Duanmu Qing didn't have any worries to forget.

It's just because she saw the calmness in Meng Qing's eyes, even if she saw Tayun, he was still so calm.

There is no explanation in the slightest.

Such a person, I don't know why, gives her an inexplicable sense of security.

The next morning, Duanmuqing was woken up by the sound of chopping wood.

Don't forget that they naturally got up early and were packing up their things.

When I walked out of the room, I saw Meng Qing sitting in the corner of the courtyard chopping firewood, and the sweet fragrance of rice porridge came from the kitchen not far away.

"Miss Mo, you're awake." Seeing her get up, Meng Qing put away the firewood knife and stood up, "There is nothing to entertain in the small place, let's eat something together!" ”

So gracious, but irreverent.

It's just very simple food, a few side dishes, and a pot of white rice porridge.

But when you eat it, there is a strange sweetness.

Meng Qing didn't ask anything, not even where they came from or where they were going.

After eating, don't forget to leave a broken piece of silver on the table as usual, and the two of them took their leave.

When Meng Qing saw the silver, she was not annoyed, but just glanced at it lightly, helped them lead the horse out, and said goodbye with a smile.

"This Meng Qing is quite special, I thought he wouldn't ask for our silver!"

After rushing for a while, it was almost noon, and the footsteps of the two slowed down, so Mo Forgetcai said with a smile.

Duanmu Qing just smiled and didn't answer, but cast his eyes on the short city wall not far away: "In the past, it was Dongli!" ”

Mo Shi nodded and smiled: "Yes! After more than a month of rushing to the east, they never thought that we would pass through here. ”

This place is the intersection of Xiqi, Zhu Xuan, and Dongli, where the fish and dragons are mixed, and the three religions and nine streams all converge here, and there are many dark transactions carried out here.

As soon as she came out of Tianjing, she found that unknown people were following her.

No matter who these people were, she didn't want to be followed, so she was divided into two ways.

On this side, she and Mo Forget disguised themselves as ordinary people visiting relatives, and entered Dongli from this place that was known as Muddy Water Town.

In fact, there is another purpose for taking this road, Duanmuqing did not say.

That is, a few months ago, Han Lingxi took this path.

The entrance to the uninhabited waters is in Muddy Waters.

"Let's go!"

Thinking of Han Lingxi, Duanmu Qing was not interested, nodded lightly, and drove the horse forward by himself.

This Muddy Waters Town is also a unique place, with three countries on three sides, and the place behind it is the famous No Man's Land.

Moreover, this town did not exist originally, but was only a subordinate of a king of the opposite sex in the east from a long time ago.

Later, the power of the prince of the opposite sex gradually withered, and the younger generations did not work hard, so they slowly retreated here, away from the east, and at the same time kept a distance from the other two countries.

And the descendants of the prince of the opposite sex called himself the lord of a town, sat here, and did not have much contact with the court of the Three Kingdoms.

This land is not a rich place in the first place, as long as he can pay the due tribute, the Dongli Emperor is too lazy to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, it gradually became a place for merchants and tourists to come and go between the three countries.

For such a place, Duanmu Qing and Mo Forget walked over and couldn't attract any attention.

I found an inn at random, asked for two very ordinary rooms, and ordered food.

This place is still some distance from the towns in the east and the territory, and if you don't rest here, you are afraid that you will be in the wilderness at night.

It was getting dark, and after an afternoon of rest, he jumped onto the roof.

After a while, I saw Duanmu Qing open the door and walk out.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Duanmu Qing was not frightened at all by her sudden appearance, and only said lightly: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

Out of the inn, but all the way to the north.

From the street, to the alley, then to the Qianmo farmhouse, and then to the wasteland.

Looking up at the not very bright moon, he sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just carefully followed behind her.

Although Duanmu Qing didn't say anything, she didn't forget to know that she was still worried about Han Lingxian in her heart.

She didn't know much about the things between the two of them, but she also knew a thing or two from Mo Lost's mouth.

Moreover, these days, Duanmu Qing often has nightmares, but he shouts Han Lingxi's name, and after waking up, he can no longer sleep.

She saw all of this, although she didn't understand feelings, she also knew that her young lady was deeply trapped.

After walking for two hours, Duanmu Qing finally stopped, and there was a forest in front of him.

But it's a strange appearance, even Duanmu Qing, who has never seen this kind of tree.

It's dark and looks a little weird.

Along the way, she could stop at the teahouse restaurant, but there was no news of Han Lingxi.

The only thing he knew was that he had entered this place.

But Duanmu Qing always didn't believe it, whether it was in a dream or in a waking heart.

There is always a hint of luck, maybe someone else made a mistake, maybe he deliberately set up a trick to make people think he went in, maybe he has a way to get out of there.

But when I got here, I still couldn't help it, I couldn't help but take a look, even if I found a trace of him.

"Miss!"

Before he raised his feet, Mo Yu's voice sounded from behind: "You can't go any further." ”

Duanmu Qing turned his head and looked at her expressionlessly.

With a sigh in his heart, he said, "I have been to this place before.

The name of this forest is the Checkmate Forest, and the trees here were originally silver cedars, but for thousands of years, because of the lack of people, they gradually became like this.

No one has ever come out alive after entering from here, because not only is the poisonous gas that killed people, but the trees in the dead forest have also been severely poisoned because of the nutrients absorbed from the ground for so many years.

You see, the grass underground, from the dying forest outward, is getting fatter and fatter, and near the forest, almost no grass grows. ”

Hearing Mo Forget's words, Duanmu Qingzi looked at the ground again, and in the faint moonlight, as she said.

So, what about Han Lingxi? Did he really get in from here?

"Who?!" Duanmu Qing was groaning, and suddenly heard Mo Forget's scolding.

At the same time, suddenly three figures came quickly.

With Mo Forget's voice, a girl in a red shirt hurriedly ran over, but stopped not far from Duanmu Qing.

At this time, Duanmu Qing could barely see her appearance clearly, but she was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a high ponytail and an anxious expression on her face.

"Don't chase me anymore, chase ...... again If you chase me again, run into the woods!" ”

As she spoke, the woman glanced at the checkmate forest not far away, and the threat was obvious.

Mo Forget quietly moved in front of Duanmu Qing and protected her behind him.

Obviously, the girl's words were not said to them, but Don't forget to see at a glance that this girl is not weak, and she is afraid of harming the pond fish.

Immediately afterwards, two men in black followed closely: "Miss, don't embarrass us!" ”

"Whew!" When the woman heard this, her willow eyebrows rose, "If I don't embarrass you, then who will let me go?" Let me go to the draft girl? Why don't you kill me! I heard it all, and the one surnamed Ji said, I will definitely be able to choose if I go. ”

Imperial concubine? This is the surname of the king of the opposite sex in Muddy Waters.

What did this girl say about the draft girl just now, is she the daughter of the prince?

"Miss, it is a blessing for Miss to be a concubine, and it is also a blessing for all of us."

A man in black took two steps forward and said urgently.

"you, I don't know you yet, send me to that Changjing, marry a forty-year-old man, and then you will be happy and happy, you want to be beautiful, I just don't go, and I won't die."

As he spoke, he took a few more steps closer to the dead forest.

Obviously, the two men in black also had some scruples, and when they saw the movements of the girl's feet, they hurriedly said: "Then please ask the young lady to talk to the prince well, don't embarrass us so much." ”

"Humph! Embarrassing you? The girl's face was stubborn, "The surname Ji doesn't care about me at all, just catch me back and tie me up to Changjing, I don't know yet." ”

"How can Miss say that? The prince also cares about Miss very much, if Miss wins the favor of His Majesty, the concubine and concubine are just around the corner, and she will immediately be the finger phoenix, isn't it Miss's happiness? ”

"Come on, those few words are okay to deceive ghosts, do you see whose prince will let his daughter go to the draft, isn't it all about finding a woman instead?"

The girl was obviously iron-hearted, and when she heard this, she was very angry.

"Miss, you also know our situation here, not to mention this town, even if you can't find a suitable girl within a radius of thirty miles here!"

When the other man in black heard this, he hurriedly continued: "That is, all the girls in our area are called to us, and they can't match the temperament of the young lady!" ”

"Moreover, Miss should also know our current situation, only when Miss enters the palace and becomes a mother, can we make the life of the people here better."

Listening to the two singing and harmonizing, the girl waved her sleeves: "Don't make ghosts in front of me, no one?" Isn't that one? ”

Duanmu Qing had been looking at them coldly, and had no intention of leaving, but he was suddenly pointed out by the girl, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change.
