Chapter 21: I'm a Ghost
"Grandpa Mu! Qi Xuanyu said with a smile: "You still think so at this time, this king has nothing to say!" I chose you! Ever since you were chosen, your eyes haven't taken your eyes off me. If anyone can pretend to be me, it's only a ghost! β
"Yes!" Gonggong Mu sat opposite Qi Xuanyu with a gloomy face: "Qian Yue did seek death, but unfortunately he shouted for help when he was half dead." At that time, my father-in-law was also curious, the person who hanged himself, the last person couldn't shout, how did you shout? β
"Father-in-law mean, I'm a ghost?" Qi Xuanyu chuckled and pushed the teacup in front of Gonggong Mu: "If I'm really a ghost, wouldn't it be as I want!" β
"Don't say it now!" Gonggong Mu picked up the teacup pushed by Qi Xuanyu: "If it is as you wish, if you are lucky enough to arrive at Linzhou Mansion, can you tell me the truth?" β
"This king remembers that Father-in-law Mu said that if you can fully reach Linzhou Mansion, your life will be the king's. In this case, this king naturally tells the truth. β
"Good!" Father-in-law Mu nodded solemnly before continuing: "According to your instructions, the only son in the family, those with wives and children, have all been included in the list of returning to Qi." Tonight or tomorrow morning? β
"Tomorrow morning!" Qi Xuanyu said lightly: "Farewell tomorrow morning!" β
"You think clearly!" Mu Gonggong reminded again: "Sooner or later, we will have a battle with the Chu army, and with one more man, the better the chance of victory." β
"Soldiers are expensive, but not much!" Qi Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Besides, our odds of winning are not 100%. The rest of the people have almost no chance of surviving, so one less person can die. β
"My father-in-law is just curious, you can't protect yourself and still think about others." Father-in-law Mu smiled: "You are a little compassionate. β
"It's all people who have died once." Qi Xuanyu smiled faintly: "I know more and more that life is precious. There is nothing important in this world except life and death. β
"Then you're so afraid of death!" Father-in-law Mu said and squinted at Qi Xuanyu with a pair of somewhat chaotic eyes and said, "If my father-in-law remembers correctly, you told my father-in-law that you can't die." Can you talk about it? Why can't you die? β
"Father-in-law, some people die when they die, but some people will die without turning a blind eye, God is kind and gives me a second life, I naturally spare my life!"
"Okay!" Father-in-law Mu smiled: "There is one more thing I think I should tell you." Han Qilin has been sent out. But his hands and feet were broken, and it is difficult to say whether he would survive if he was thrown into the wilderness. β
"That can only depend on his creation!" Qi Xuanyu sighed: "It's better to be alive than dead!" Even if it lasts for a long time, it is better than death. β
"Actually, we could have sent someone to follow and save him." Father-in-law Mu stood up and said.
"In the final analysis, it is the father-in-law who is kind-hearted." Qi Xuanyu smiled: "Presumably my father-in-law has already arranged it." β
"He's your fiancΓ©!" Father-in-law Mu squinted his eyes and said, "Based on your reaction to him, Father-in-law this is definitely not Qian Yue!" β
"Yes!" Qi Xuanyu looked at Mu Gonggong and said, "This body is indeed Qian Yue's, but I am really not Qian Yue." If my father-in-law doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, I'll just talk nonsense. β
"I believe it!" Father-in-law Mu hurriedly said: "What you did along the way made my father-in-law have to believe it." When people are old, they can't refuse to accept old age. Your Highness, rest early. β
Father-in-law Mu did send two people to quietly follow the carriage that sent Han Qilin away.
In the darkness of the night, they followed the carriage from afar.
The carriage walked for a long time before it came to a stop in a dense forest.
The two watched from afar, and one of them was put under a big tree in the carriage, and then returned the same way.
Seeing that the carriage was far away, the two hurriedly ran over.
It's just that someone is moving faster than them, and then I saw a black shadow squatting down and looking at it and asking in a low voice, "Are you still alive?" β
"Please, let me die!" Han Qilin's pleading voice sounded quite poignant in the night wind.
"Some people go to great lengths to survive, but it's good that you beg for death! Tell me what you're struggling with, and maybe I can help you. The voice of the black shadow was not audible, as if it was deliberately pinching his throat to speak.
"You?" Han Qilin couldn't help laughing and said, "Who are you?" And how can you help me? β
"I'm ......," the man said in a long voice, "I'm an immortal!" Save the suffering, you meet me, and your good luck is coming. β
"Immortals?" Han Qilin couldn't help laughing: "Then may I ask if my tendons are broken, you may pick it up for me?" β
"Oh......" The man said and reached out and touched Han Qilin's hand: "Is this what you want to die for?" β
"Isn't that enough?" Han Qilin smiled bitterly: A dignified seven-foot man can only lie on his stomach like a dog, what's the point of living? β
"If you can take care of your hands and feet, you don't want to die?" The man asked.
"If only it could be good! Naturally, I want to live! Han Qilin's voice seemed to have some strength, and he quickly said, "I'm afraid you don't have this ability." β
"If there is any, you will find out if you try it!" As he spoke, the man carried Han Qilin on his shoulders and ran away quickly.
When the two people sent by Gonggong Mu returned to the medical hall, it was already dawn. The two of them told Grandpa Mu the truth, and Grandpa Mu listened to it and exhaled slightly: "Do you see clearly who took him away?" β
"I can't see it from a distance."
"Got it!" Mu Gonggong said: "This father-in-law will ask you one last time, whether you will return to Qi or continue to travel west." Back to Qi Kesheng, westward travel is likely to die. β
The two hurriedly knelt down: "The little one also replied to the father-in-law for the last time, whether it is life or death, where the father-in-law is, the little one is!" β
"Good!" Father-in-law Mu nodded: "Go back to the meeting, the meeting will leave later." β
As soon as the coldest part of the day passes before dawn, the sky turns from dark to bright.
Looks like it's another good day.
Ma Huanting squinted her eyes, watching the red sun leap out of the east little by little, and jumped off the light tower of the medical hall as soon as she turned over. The sunrise is truly beautiful!
She hadn't slept all night, and it was the first time she had insomnia when she was so big. Since she came back from Qi Xuanyu last night, she couldn't sleep at all. After tossing and turning for half a night, I remembered that Qi Xuanyu told her yesterday that I could accompany her to watch the sunrise in the spring and summer seasons, so I got up and came out to watch the sunrise.
Maybe it's because a person is too beautiful that God is jealous, like Qi Xuanyu. Most people are cheesy, the sun rises every day, and who cares when it rises and when it sets. Only those who have a heart will understand the beauty of the sun, moon and stars.
Either way, the night has passed, and the red sun has risen. Everything she wants will be there!
