Mu Yueting sat in the exquisite small private room and watched the little girl opposite feasting.

In less than a moment, the plates in front of him were already three or four empty. The bitter cauliflower is still desperately stuffing the osmanthus lotus root powder bun and cherry crisp into her mouth, and her satisfied expression seems to have been all over the world, and her eyes are flowing with amber luster.

"Ah, it's delicious!"

"This one is delicious, too!"

"Won't you eat the fairy?"

Mu Yueting had only seen one side of the bitter cauliflower, which was in the Huairen Hall in Chuzhou. 【1】

At that time, the city was rioting, and thousands of Buddhas were lost, and life and death were unpredictable. The women, children, old and weak in Huairen Hall were all gathered in the main hall for refuge, and everyone was anxious, panicking in and out like a pot of boiling porridge.

Even at that time, the little girl was still neat and tidy, and she showed the style of a noble lady of the world.

Today's gobbling up has no manners at all. I guess I'm really hungry.

"How did you end up in the hands of human traffickers?" Mu Yueting asked softly, pouring a cup of tea for the bitter cauliflower.

In the window seat, Mu Zijian still sat upright, looking at the street scene downstairs with a side face, as if he was contemplating.

The sunlight from the rhombic window hits the bridge of his nose, etching into a beautiful white edge, zigzag downward, outlining a perfect side face. Meiyu looked lonely.

Mu Yueting didn't know if he was really depressed, or if he was pretending to be lax and paralyzed himself. The eldest brother treats her very well, but she has never understood him very well.

"Why are you alone, the little girl you're with?" She asked, seemingly casually, ruffling a strand of her sideburns to hide the tension in her heart.

After entering Chuzhou, she is no longer the lady who doesn't care about the world. She knew that this little girl named Bitter Cauliflower had a lot to do with the Ming Palace, and she was always with a person named Mei Longxue, and that little girl was a killer.

Mu Zijian also knew.

She lifted her eyes slightly, glanced at Mu Zijian, and saw that he didn't pay attention to the conversation here, and felt a little relieved.

"Hey, don't mention it." Bitter Cauliflower took the teacup from Mu Yueting's hand, swallowed a big mouthful, her cheeks were still bulging, and she said vaguely: "She said she came to me, but she hasn't come yet." But I don't blame her."

Bitter Cauliflower took another sip of water, and her speech became much clearer: "She let me go, and her master doesn't know how to punish her." The little girl sighed: "I don't know how Ah Xue is now." ”

Mu Yueting's eyebrows frowned, not only because of the loss in her heart, but also because Mu Zijian was turning her head to look this way.

He seemed to be thinking elsewhere, but in fact, he had not relaxed his vigilance for a moment, and it was difficult to escape from him and send a letter to Jin Yanchen.

"Ming Palace...... Why, catch you? ”

Mu Yueting tried her best not to let her tone reveal disappointment.

The appearance of the bitter cauliflower made her see hope, but because of what she just said, this little hope was dissipating little by little.

Bitter vegetables were included in the hostile category of the Ming Palace, and Mei Longxue, the little girl who was most likely to be close to the core of the Ming Palace and deliver the news to Jin Yanchen, listened to the tone of the bitter cauliflower, I am afraid it would be difficult to contact.

"It's a long story." Bitter cauliflower stuffed the last piece of cherry crisp into her mouth: "When I finish eating, I will tell you slowly." ”

Six plates and three lamps, only half a plate of puff pastry and salt beans remains.

The little girl probably couldn't eat anymore, stroked her belly, leaned back in the chair, burped loudly, and sighed contentedly: "I haven't eaten so many delicious things for a long time, and now they are pulling me to the execution ground to behead me, and I admit it." ”

There was an old-fashioned taste in his tone.

Mu Zijian chuckled.

Mu Yueting also smiled slightly, she knew that she shouldn't be too sad at this time.

So like the spring wind blowing through thousands of trees and plums, the morning glow and evening brocade paved the sky, even if there is a wisp of sadness between the eyebrows can not be erased, her face, smile is still enough to turn all beings upside down.

The bitter cauliflower on the opposite side was stunned and muttered: "Magnolia Baifang doesn't care about each other, and the people smile lightly...... It's true. ”

Mu Yueting heard a lot of praise, and only smiled lightly when she heard the words: "You little girl, have you read a lot of poetry books?" ”

"Of course." Bitter cauliflower raised her head and looked proud: "You don't know, the drifters in the capital are the most hypocritical." Obviously, I came to sleep with Gu Liang when I went to the basket, but I wanted to pretend to listen to the tune and chant two lines of poetry, so that the girls in Tianxiang Juli got up and started reading poems. My mother said, her knowledge is much better than that of the prince in the palace.3 ”

This time it was Mu Yueting's turn to be stunned.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the flush on Mu Yueting's cheeks burst open, dyeing her soft white skin, like a glow reflecting Chengtang.

Mu Zijian turned his head to relieve Mu Yueting's embarrassment: "You are the daughter of Orchid Beauty, bitter cauliflower?" ”

Bitter Cauliflower stopped talking, lowered her head, and judged the little girl with her eyebrows dancing just now. Tears fell like beads, hitting the red tabletop, one had not dispersed, and one drop was connected again, and a puddle of water stains melted on the table.

"My mother...... He's dead. The little girl buried her head, her shoulders from ear to ear, and choked up: "I was tricked to death by Tan Zhou." ”

Mu Zijian knew about this.

Since Tan Zhou entered Chuzhou, he has trapped the orchid by his side, looking for it every day. Even later hid in the dark room of the Ajizo Winery, and did not forget to bring the orchid with me.

It's just that when he came out, there was only one person.

A person like Tan Zhou, who is selfish and crazy to the extreme, since he has the determination to die, he will not allow the people around him to live alone.

Mu Yueting didn't know what was going on, but she kindly didn't ask.

"Elder Xu...... Let the girl keep me in order to use me as a hostage and let my mother do things for them. Ah Xue and Ah Xue were also sent by them to spy on me...... My mother is dead, and they are going to kill me......"

Bitter cauliflower lay on the table and cried: "I killed Ah Xue." She saved me, Elder Xu won't let her go! ”

Mu Yueting's eyes were red.

The sad people of the ancients are afraid to see others cry.

Mei Longxue may really be dead, but she may still be alive. And if Mu Cangping finds Jin Yanchen, there will really be no room for turning around. Father has to do something, and he never can't do it.

She dreamed of him for many years, thought about him for many years, and thought about him for many days and nights, but in the end she was powerless to save him.

Mu Zijian glanced at Mu Yueting.

On top of the jade face, a little tear slipped quietly, and she didn't know it.

Mu Zijian couldn't bear it in his heart. This sister of his, is not very strong, but when he captured her back, she even went to the point of death in order to resist.

She really loves Jin Yanchen. There is no aluminum, and Jin Yanchen is not loved.

But why didn't she understand, Jin Yanchen was no longer the Chang'an boy she was from. He is an unscrupulous wolf, with no affection, only hatred. If she sent herself to Jin Yanchen at this time, it would be tantamount to sending him a bargaining chip, a sharp weapon to hit Mu Cangping.

When Mu Cangping left, there was a strict order, he must set off at dawn today and take Mu Yueting back to Luoyang at full speed. was disturbed by Mu Lan and missed the trip, Mu Lan would certainly be severely punished, and he would not be able to escape joint responsibility

Mu Zijian thought lonely, if they really fell into the hands of Jin Yanchen, on the battlefield, would his father let the enemy go for him and his sister...... He wasn't sure, he wasn't sure.
