Waiting is a must wait.

In Liangqing's view, Xu Younan has an incredible ability to make all strange and inexplicable things happen naturally, and also make the people in it unaware.

For example, he can talk to Mu Dianke about one paragraph to death, and then pick up another paragraph, and Mu Dianke is willing to take his words.

For example, he and Qu Ya have obviously stood on the opposite side of the enemy and us, and the two of them can actually sit together under the ancient locust tree without any guilt, waiting for the news from the mountains five miles away.

Huang Fengling couldn't get involved in this matter, and consciously avoided it.

Xu Younan took out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve and spread it on the grass. He also took out two delicate and round porcelain cups, one was stone blue, and the other was jade white with carmine.

Naturally, Xu Younan gave the dark one to Qu Ya, and kept the one with a bright color, the sleeves of his robe hung like flowing clouds, holding a lotus leaf and slowly pouring spring water into the cup.

"To be honest, have you ever thought about exchanging Xiaoliu's head for Yu'er?"

His demeanor is relaxed and casual, as if gossiping is commonplace. didn't expect Qu Ya to answer, put the lotus leaf sac of the straw rope hoop against the foot of the locust tree, picked a piece of grass stem, bent it flexibly on his fingers, and replied by himself, "Have you thought about it?" I was afraid that your daughter would hate you, so I had to give up again. ”

Qu Ya's non-confession is the answer.

Then he asked the same question: "Did you ask it, or did he ask you?" ”

Xu Younan made a sad gesture and prayed his heart: "My thoughts are so unimportant? ”

"It doesn't matter."

Qu Ya's attitude was cold: "The whole world is up to you to calculate, except for one person Jin Liu." I am not surprised that you have any speculation or suspicion about me. ”

Since he opened the skylight and said something bright, Qu Ya did not shy away from it, and said: "Since you guard against me, even if I don't stop because I don't care about Yu'er's feelings, I won't succeed." I just want to know, did he defend me? What is the step of my prevention? ”

"I didn't deliberately prevent it."

Xu Younan smiled and said, "You are different from me. I am just a dog of Kinmen, and you are his respected elder, and you have both the grace of knowledge and the grace of help, and your kindness is as deep as the sea. For people like you, if you can't rest assured, you have to be on guard everywhere, is there still a credible person in this world? ”

"It's just ......" Xu Younan threw the grass dragonfly at his feet, grabbed a cup and drank a saliva: "You know, he was once raised by a guard behind his back with a knife and almost lost his life, and at the last moment, he always had to keep one or two hands." ”

At this point, Liangqing is also an outsider who can't participate. He picked up his knife and walked away.

"Tell me about it." Qu Ya said.

"I only know one." Xu Younan slowly poured water into the cup and said, "'Gu Hongying' is by his side. ”

"Lone Hongying" is the head of the old "Four Killers on the Desert" in the past, and it was agitated in the northwest during the Changle Palace period.

Sasaki and other eloquent and strategic people, when they were in power, failed to bring the four major killers under their command.

It is because the "Gu Hongying" led by him is not only outstanding in martial arts and elusive, but also an extremely unruly and extremely difficult person to surrender.

Sasaki was addicted to wine, and after one or two times to no avail, he put the matter aside.

Later, Jin Yanchen succeeded as the holy lord and went to the meeting with a big sword. According to his own later account, he lost that battle. But I don't know why, but a month later, "Gu Hongying" brought the three killers under his command - "Hanjiangxue", "Tingzhonghe" and "Lantian Yu" to return to Shun.

Soon after the four of them returned to the Ming Palace, "Gu Hongying" was separated from the list of the four killers, and the vacated position was filled by "Mo Shanghua".

As for the new identity and whereabouts of "Lone Hongying", more than six of them tacitly acquiesced, almost tacitly assuming that he (she) is the first monarch who has never shown his face.

Qu Ya knew a little more than the others, and knew that the first one was sent to Luoyang.

But now, Xu Younan actually told him that "Gu Hongying" has never left, and has always been by Jin Yanchen's side.

- Now that I think about it, Jin Yanchen had made arrangements early in the morning.

At that time, "Lone Hongying" brought down to return to Shun, he and Banderu were tripped by the sudden foreign enemy for a moment, and when they went, they had dispersed, and they glanced at it from a distance under the dim light, and they didn't even see whether "Lone Hongying" was male or female.

Then he (she) may be anyone around Jin Yanchen, or someone he sees every day and is familiar with.

Maybe it's a ghost, maybe it's a ghost, or even a smoke tea, or maybe it's Qingxiu.

Xu Younan said with a smile: "'Lone Hongying' is good at disguise techniques, and has been famous for many years, but he still can't distinguish between male and female outside. This is not a cover. If you ask the other three, they may not be able to identify them accurately. ”

Qu Ya didn't plan to ask the other three Moshang killers.

In the past, Jin Yanchen didn't plan to let him know about it, and it was impossible for him to have a chance to find out after he had killed him.

He wasn't too disappointed about that.

If you want to be long-lasting, you can't be naïve. He didn't distrust several of his protectors, but he still had a hand in secret.

"That's why you only dare to drug the soup, but don't dare to do it openly?" Qu Ya asked.

"yes." Xu Younan smiled: "It's a pity, there will be no such opportunity in the future." ”

The letter came.

As soon as he rode in the dust, Ghost Ruofei jumped off the horse, holding the letter with both hands and handing it to Qu Ya.

Eight words: Weng does not live up to his son-in-law, and his son-in-law does not live up to Weng.

****

"Qu Ya is old." Mu Cangping said.

He has been waiting, waiting for Qu Ya to turn the Ming Palace upside down, waiting for him to come down with Jin Yanchen's head, and waiting for Mu Dian to take the initiative to return...... None of this happened.

The answer is hidden in Qu Yuer's letter.

The tiger father is full of liver and gall, but he can't beat his daughter's full of affection.

Mu Cangping didn't say anything anymore, he was pushing others and himself, and thought of something. Han Jujun didn't ask, nor did he plan to be silent with him, so he went away.

After the owl died, he guarded Qu Yu'er alone, and rarely left the courtyard. It's not that I'm worried that someone will rob Qu Yu'er in the heavy encirclement of the wind and iron, but I'm afraid that the same thing as last time will happen again - he just left for a while, and Qu Yu'er has no eyes.

Mu Cangping looked up at the half of the white wall in the sky, and walked slowly under the moonlight, people and shadows wandering together.

He turned his head and looked at the window behind him that was still lit.

A silhouette casts on the window screen.

The beauty sits quietly with her cheeks up, and her back is like a cloud of sideburns for the first time, so beautiful that it is distracting, and it is so beautiful that she can't add a feather.

It is well known to the world that the Lord of the Mu League loves his daughter, but this is not his favorite daughter.

The one he loved the most, I don't know why he was so ruthless back then—maybe he was already red-eyed by then, and maybe because he had taken too many steps and didn't want to fold on that last step—he turned her into someone who hated him.

"Dad-" Mu Yueting suddenly pushed open the window and stood up.

Mu Cang stood calmly, his deep eyebrows becoming more and more distant in the moonlight.

Mu Yueting looked at this father, who was not quite the same as usual, and felt timid, and plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, you let Qu Yu'er go." The person who the sixth cousin values most is not her, and it is useless for you to leave her here - you didn't teach us that before. ”

Mu Cang looked at Mu Yueting calmly.

In fact, the time of a breath is as long as an hour, a day, and a month for Mu Yueting.

She had never looked at her father so clearly, nor had she felt so frightened under his gaze.

She secretly straightened her shoulders, planning that no matter what Mu Cangping said for a while, even if she scolded her sharply, she would fight hard to rescue the poor woman.

However, Mu Cangping was not angry, he only asked her one sentence: "Do you think this from the bottom of your heart, or do you think you should do it?" ”

Mu Yueting's tears suddenly fell.

The emotions came so suddenly, even she didn't expect it.

She has been seeing Qu Yu'er for three days, and Jin Yanchen's wife for three days. It seems that the beautiful woman did not make any waves in her heart. She lived her days peacefully, ate three meals a day, slept well, and was neither sad nor jealous, until this moment, when Mu Cangping dismantled her disguise.

She actually didn't want Qu Yu'er to go back to Jin Yanchen's side. It was Mu Cangping who taught her since she was a child to be a good woman who is honest and kind. It was this teaching that suppressed the darkest and most filthy thoughts in her heart: she hoped that Qu Yu'er would disappear, and that Mu Dianke would disappear with her.

She couldn't bear to think like that.

Mu Yueting covered her mouth and cried.

In her crying, Mu Cangping's eyes were indifferent, as quiet as a pool of lake ice, quietly waiting for her crying to stop, and said, "Forget Jin Yanchen." ”

His voice was cold and clear, like a thin ice knife, mercilessly chopped: "You don't really love him, you just want to fight with Xiao Si'er." ”
