Chapter 148 The country and the city
Mu Qingyan said goodbye and got into the car to go home, and as soon as the carriage turned onto Suzaku Street, the coachman suddenly stopped the horse, so frightened that he couldn't say anything.
Linglong provoked the curtain of the car and was angry, "Miss's body has always been weak, you can't even catch a car, which scares Miss to take care of your flesh!" ”
After scolding, I saw a very tall black horse in front of the carriage, and immediately sat a man wearing a dark blue moire silk brocade robe, his face was full of midwinter frost and snow, and he was looking at the car with a cold expression and raised eyebrows.
Linglong was not afraid of him, raised his eyes and looked at him, looked at it very familiarly, but couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he crossed his waist and said fiercely: "Dare to stop our young lady's carriage, and don't ask who our young lady is?" ”
Mu Qingyan rolled her eyes in the car, what kind of naughty young lady is naturally what kind of unfashionable maid, she hates it so much that she scolds Linglong idiot in her heart.
Qin Yan didn't seem to hear what Linglong said at all, so he passed by the side of the carriage with the reins, took Mu Qingyan out of the carriage with one arm and sat down in front of him, urging the horse to leave.
Mu Qingyan's face turned white with fright, and he shouted, "You, you let me down, I, I'm scared ......" The slender body couldn't stop shaking, and he grabbed the robe on Qin Yan's chest with both hands, and didn't dare to open it with his eyes closed.
"This king wants to see if you are really scared, drive ......" Qin Yan shouted, and the meteor let go of his four hooves and ran away.
Mu Qingyan rolled his eyes and fell softly towards Qin Yan's arm.
As soon as she entered her arms, Qin Yan's qi and blood were a little boiling, the cold fragrance on her body was very special and very familiar, her squinting movements and her seemingly boneless softness confirmed his guess again.
Suppress the agitation in her heart and take her pulse. Sighing in her heart, she really fainted. But the aura on her body is too similar to Weiyang, and if he closes his eyes, he will definitely admit his mistake.
Hit the horse into the Tiger King's Mansion and ran straight out of his yard before stopping. He picked up Mu Qingyan, who was still dizzy, jumped off the horse, kicked the door into the courtyard, and instructed the steward who followed behind him, "No one will come!" If someone comes to make trouble again, they will be locked up and sent to the criminal department, and there is no need to report it! ”
The steward agreed to lead the horse and leave, and he didn't dare to take a closer look at who the woman in Chinese clothes that Qin Yan brought with him was.
Qin Yan carried Mu Qingyan into the hall, gently put her on the chair and sat down, frowning and looking at her, with displeasure and hesitation in his eyes. Something I wanted to do a long time ago, today is the right time.
He bent down to soak a cloth towel in the basin of water, wrung out the dripping water, turned around and walked to the chair where Mu Qingyan was crooked.
Mu Qingyan's martial arts are a little strange, and the disciples of this sect know their methods and close their breath, and they can't detect the traces of her internal strength just by their pulse. Listening to the sound of the water, and listening to him walk back to his side, I knew that something was wrong.
When the cloth towel with water wiped all the way from her forehead to the corners of her eyes and then to her nose and lips, she sneered in her heart: What if you know, the left and right are no longer the same person, there is no trace of it, what can you do to me?
Qin Yan wiped the fat powder off her face carefully, and looked at her in disbelief with a pair of cold eyes: it turned out that she was like this, and it was not enough to describe the country and the city; is the only way to say it, Mu Qinghan is the best among men, and she is now like a blood relative.
Mu Qingyan woke up in his stunnedness, let out a long breath, jumped up and stumbled behind the chair, and asked him timidly, "You, why did you kidnap me back?" ”
Qin Yan came back to his senses, washed the cloth towel in the water and walked back, stretched out his arm and handed the cloth towel over, "Wipe it clean, I've seen everything that should be seen, and I don't need to hide it anymore." ”
He didn't know that his voice was several times softer than before, and he secretly coaxed.
Mu Qingyan didn't take the cloth towel, and glanced at him disdainfully, and his disgust had already deepened in his heart: he was just a womanizer, and all the coldness was pretended, and he was so uncertain when he met a beauty.
"It's better for you to send me back to the house, don't wait for my brother to come to you!" Mu Qingyan pursed his lips stubbornly, "I'm not afraid of you!" ”
Qin Yan smiled, the corners of his lips rose, and his narrow eyes curved into two rainbows, "Oh? Why did Miss Mu draw herself...... People are not ghosts, ghosts are not ghosts? The king is interested to know why! ”
Mu Qingyan confronted him across the chair, "Miss Ben is willing, can you manage it?" Besides, when will it be the Tiger King's turn to worry about Miss Ben's affairs? "It's quite a bit of a tooth and claw, and it really responds to the words of the past.
"Miss Mu still has something that is unseeable, this king might as well guess it today, how about it?" Qin Yan took two steps to the chair and sat down calmly on the chair, "Do you say it yourself, or wait for this king to do it himself?" ”
Mu Qingyan took two steps back, glared at him hatefully, and was silent.
After a while, Qin Yan saw her looking out the window worriedly, and her heart moved slightly, "It's okay, how about this king leave Miss Mu to rest in the mansion for one night?" ”
Mu Qingyan was just about to speak, but he raised his hand to stop him, "I will ask someone to go to the Yiwang Mansion to deliver a letter, and I will say that this king and you are familiar with it at first sight." ”
Looking at her helpless delicate appearance of biting her lip and frowning, the familiar cold fragrance hit her face, Qin Yan suddenly felt that the blood in her body was flowing everywhere, a little uncontrollable.
He suddenly got up and walked out the door, a little hurried and a little embarrassed.
It had been five years, and in five years he had never been so impulsive as he was today, with only the familiar aura of her.
Ignoring her roar in the hall, he didn't dare to turn back and smash what she had broken, he just wanted to escape the fragrance from afar, he was afraid that he would indulge himself for a while, and he was afraid that he would be tempted by the fragrance of her......
After Qin Yan went out, Mu Qingyan listened carefully for a while before confirming that he was really leaving.
As soon as his legs were weak and he fell into the chair, he secretly scolded himself for being useless, how could he not help but want to get close to him as soon as he saw him and approached him. The feeling of being held in his arms just now on the horse made her want to shed tears, and there was nowhere to confide in her unspeakable grievances.
"Miss Mu, the prince asked the little one to send you home!"
A humble voice outside the door interrupted her thoughts, she suddenly came back to her senses, stretched out her hands to cover her feverish face, and replied in a slightly deep voice, "There is labor! After the sound fell, he stood up and walked slowly to the open door, and followed the man into the carriage outside the courtyard.
Qin Yan looked at her graceful figure from a distance, and the flame in his eyes ignited again. He hid in the dark and carefully watched her every move, although it was not the slightest resemblance, but he couldn't control his greedy eyes.
It wasn't until the carriage left the Tiger King's Mansion that he returned to the room lonely.
The room where he had lived for a few days was filled with the scent of her. For some reason, the cold fragrance that seemed to be absent was extremely prosperous today, causing his deep thoughts to gush like a mountain and a sea.
Reason repeatedly reminded him that the spell could be broken by leaving this room, but he refused to move at all, and the familiar fragrance mixed with the acacia that penetrated into the bones completely ignited the longing in his heart.
He didn't fall asleep until dawn, and as soon as he fell asleep, the blood-colored butterfly on the back of her neck slammed into his eyes; The color as red as blood, the agility that wants to come out of the skin, made him suddenly return to five years ago, the night and half of the day when he was poisoned and unconscious, it seems that the woman who saved her innocence also has such a touch of blood red on the back of her neck......
Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up.
Although there were many doubts in my heart, I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I hurriedly put on my shoes and went to the palace.
Mu Qingyan returned to Shuiyue Villa as if nothing happened, and Amber and the others were looking anxiously at the door of Lanyan Pavilion.
Seeing his own young lady stepping on small steps and happily entering the door, a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Suddenly remembered that there were still people waiting in the hall, and hurriedly spoke, "Miss, the prince is waiting for you in the painting hall!" ”
Mu Qingyan rolled her eyes, muttered something that Amber didn't understand, shook the handkerchief in her hand and went up to the hall.
"Miss Qingyan, who is uneducated by the Mu family, has no power to restrain the chicken, shouldn't she have been frightened by the majestic and cold Tiger King a long time ago?" Mu Qinghan tasted the freshly brewed lotus heart, and teased her with half of his eyebrows.
Mu Qingyan sat down on the seat next to him with a big grin, took the tea handed by Amber, and swallowed half of it, and there was really no boudoir etiquette.
There was a flattering smile between her eyebrows, "Doesn't Miss Ben have a more noble Wing King brother to support her, and you are still afraid of him as a Tiger King!" ”
Mu Qinghan smiled slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I thought you would go to Qilin Villa, grandpa is afraid that it has already passed by this time." Mu Qingyan took the kettle brought by Liuli, refilled the water for Mu Qinghan and herself, and asked him casually, "What about Qing'er?" ”
Mu Qinghan took his tea cup and sniffed the aroma of the lotus heart, and said slowly: "Just before and after you left the Qilin Villa, King Wuji and Grandpa arrived. ”
"Also, the older King Wuji gets, the more naughty he becomes, so he likes to join in the fun." Mu Qingyan removed the jewelry on his wrist and head one by one and threw it on the table, rubbing his wrist and breathing a long sigh of relief.
Mu Qinghan picked up a mutton fat white jade bracelet and took a closer look: "This is a good thing, there is no blemish at all, it looks familiar, where did you get it?" ”
"Forget, you know I don't love these things, and I don't know where she got it from when I put it on Pearl this morning." Mu Qingyan didn't look at it, just looked at the lotus heart dancing in the teacup, with a shallow smile on her lips.
"Yan'er, is Qin Yan different today from five years ago?" Mu Qing asked her coldly.
Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then eased the look on his face.
"Wei Wanwan has been with her for five years, her family background is good, her teacher is famous, and she is extremely beautiful, just right for Qin Yan's ruffian." Mu Qingyan only felt that the taste of the tea was much more astringent, not as fragrant as before, and he couldn't help frowning.
Mu Qinghan took two sips of tea and put down the teacup before saying, "The Holy Lord deliberately let him divorce the Seventh Princess and marry another." Stealing a glance at Mu Qingyan, her frowning movement just caught her eyes. If Wei Wanwan had his blue eyes, he wouldn't even be able to enter the Tiger King's Mansion. Yan'er, what do you mean by him? ”
"It's none of my business!" Mu Qingyan grunted.
Mu Qinghan twisted his eyebrows in frustration, "Escaping is not a way after all, with Qin Yan's shrewdness, you won't be able to pass a few tricks under his nose before he will be recognized by him." Besides, I was worried about you during the Nanzhao period, and I don't know how many flaws I left, and you said that he really couldn't guess who you were? Over the years, he has just misunderstood that you and Shen Gongzi are in love, and he can't bear to entangle. ”
A remark provoked Mu Qingyan to jump like thunder: "It's okay if he's blind, is his heart also blind?" ”
"Trapped in love! That's probably what I'm talking about. Once a person is caught in a relationship, not only is his eyes blind, but his heart is also blind. Mu Qinghan sighed and comforted her, "Just calm down and think about it for a few days, you can't just be entangled like this for the rest of your life, sooner or later there will be a result, and it will save the suspense in the palace." ”
Mu Qingyan puffed out his mouth and didn't know who was angry, and he didn't say a word.
Mu Qinghan drank all the tea in the cup, picked up his robe and got up, "Qing'er is still waiting for me, she can't sleep well without pillowing my arm." ”
"Hmm!" Mu Qingyan didn't hear what he said at all, he agreed casually, and knelt on the table to watch his Angzang figure out of the painting hall, but what appeared in his heart was the shadow of another person, who was also long and jade, but even more unruly.
A light night's sleep, like waking up from a dream.
At the end of the third watch, a vigorous figure entered Shuiyue Villa and went straight to Lanyan Pavilion.
Mu Qingyan suddenly came to his senses, squinted his eyes and stared at the familiar shadow as he rolled into the window and bowed to the bed.
"Get up, why do you have to come here in the middle of the night?" Mu Qingyan sat up and leaned half on the bed frame.
The person who came was the afterimage, and he replied after a salute: "Master, there is news of An Yuxuan." ”
"Oh?" Mu Qingyan instantly fell asleep, and lifted the quilt to the ground, "Tell me quickly, where are you now?" ”
"Mochou Lake."
Mu Qingyan's legs hung on the side of the bed unconsciously and swayed lightly, and he asked for a while, "How did you find out?" ”
"Three days ago, he was disguised into Wu County, and the dragon envoy didn't dare to confirm that he had been secretly watching, and he didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by him. It wasn't until yesterday that he came to the capital by water and reported to Youlongxin Pavilion. The afterimage sat down at the table along Mu Qingyan's fingers, and continued, "During the day, Feng Priest personally went to visit, and after coming back, he dared to confirm that it was An Yuxuan, who was right, in combination with some of his previous habits. ”
Mu Qingyan tapped on the table, "Taking advantage of the chaos of Duanyang Dragon Boat to enter the city, his mind is also cautious, but why he returned to Beijing this time remains to be discussed." ”
"Master, someone has been sent to check where he came from, and there will be news in two days at the earliest." Years of tacit understanding have already been cultivated, and the afterimage knows what the master wants to ask next, so he said it first.
"Excellent! There is no need to follow him, the four gates in the city are guarded, and some people are scattered in the city, so he is not afraid of losing his place. Mu Qingyan picked a smile on his lips, "It's time for me to show my face, they are so cautious and cautious, how can they not let him down!" ”
The afterimage shook his head disagreeingly, "Master, Miss Qingyan of the Mu family is weak and powerless, and there is no useful manpower around her, so it is too dangerous for you to face him." ”
"I can't help the wolf if the child can't trap the child, you should always understand such a simple truth. Besides, today's Dongchu is not as good as in the past, doesn't he think it's too late to make waves? Mu Qingyan looked at the afterimage with a smile, "I haven't been able to hide for five years, that's because I have no chance of winning." It seems that the move of swaggering through the market is the right one, and he is probably coming to Beijing for me this time. ”
