Chapter 159: Déjà vu
As he passed by the front of Château, he suddenly stopped.
The Château has closed its doors, and there is no light on the three floors. Qin Yan walked around to the backstreet and jumped from the wall into the backyard.
A small two-story building is built in the backyard with a faint light on the second floor. He took the sound of footsteps and went up to the second floor step by step, and when he approached the lighted window to look, he saw a pink and bright little girl sitting at the table, holding a handful of jade chips in her hand and fiddling.
Qin Yan suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable softness in his heart, wanting to hold the little girl who looked like a ball on his lap to talk, wanting to carry her on his shoulders and playing, and wanting to find the best things in the world for her.
The little girl looked up at Qin Yan with a feeling, her big round eyes were full of frost.
Instead of feeling sad, Qin Yan felt closer and closer, and the chill in her eyes seemed familiar. Unconsciously, the hidden breath leaked out, and an extremely cold voice came from a nearby room.
"Who's there?" The sound is to the people.
Qin Yan reluctantly removed his four eyes, got up, and left Qingjing Winery.
He walked in a hurry, and he didn't see who it was, so much so that he missed something he shouldn't have missed.
"Uncle Feng, I have seen my father!" Zuo Ling's eyes were bright, and the child's voice was full of excitement that he had never felt before. "Did he come for me? Uncle Feng, why did you scare him away? ”
Zuo Ning didn't follow, threw down the jade chip in his hand, slid off the chair and ran out of the door.
"Young master, when you come back, he has already gone far away." Feng Shi hurriedly chased after her, afraid that she would run out. There is turmoil in the city tonight, and he has to take care of the young master for his master.
"Uncle Feng, did you say that Father would come again?" Zuo Ning looked at the end of the cloister on the second floor.
Feng Shi kept his face calm and did not speak.
All Qin Yan thought about in his heart was that little girl, and the inexplicable familiarity completely softened his heart, standing on the Ziyan Bridge, in a daze.
When Mu Qingyan returned to Lanyan Pavilion, it was already dark, and she knew that Qin Yan was chasing after her, and deliberately led him to the place where An Yuxuan stayed, so she simply wanted to make a big fuss. The people of the beggar gang scattered all over the city, but whenever there was any abnormal movement, it would be suppressed instantly, so that An Yuxuan was restrained everywhere. She doesn't want any big fish, anyway, Chu Li will throw herself into the net sooner or later, so it's better to see how An Xinlou's next move will be now.
Amber prepared the bath water, "Miss, wash and sleep quickly, the smell of blood all over your body." Pushing Mu Qingyan to the back of the screen, she widened her robe, loosened her hair, and tested the water temperature again, "Soak for a while, I'll go prepare some food, Miss, have you had dinner at night?" ”
Mu Qingyan ran outside all night, and when she thought of eating, her stomach grunted unhappily as soon as she said it.
"Hey, I haven't used it, Amber, you go and cook me a bowl of noodles, I can't wait." Mu Qingyan also took off his underwear, slid into the bathtub with his breath, and refused to come out for a long time.
Amber said distressedly, "Soak well, don't choke." ”
After nagging for a long time, Mu Qingyan only ignored it, she had to open the windows of the cubicle to let go of the air, and then took her changed clothes and went out.
After three or four days of commotion in the city, Xi Yanxing collected his troops and opened the gate of the Quartet.
Chu Jue was injured a little, although it was not fatal, he still had to recuperate for some time.
It was only night, and a figure fell into the Lanyan Pavilion.
"Come in!" Mu Qingyan bit her pen and stared at the letterhead on the case, she had already written a few lines crookedly on it, and she looked funny.
"Master!" Cang Xin entered the study from the window, looked at the words on Mu Qingyan's paper, and couldn't help frowning, "In the future, it is better to let Ning Yatou follow Qingjin, although he is not as good as sixty-nine in calligraphy and painting, he is stronger than this ......" He stretched out his hand and pointed to Mu Qingyan's words, "Many ......"
Mu Qingyan accurately threw the pen into the wash, and half a drop of water did not splash out. Squinted his eyes whitened him, "According to the time, you should still be in Natsume." ”
"Natsume doesn't need to go anymore, Chu Li has already come to the capital." Cang Xin returned to his normal color, "He still doesn't know about the affairs in Beijing, and all the correspondence has been detained by Youlong Xin Pavilion." ”
"Anxinlou is at your disposal? That An Yuqing is so incompetent? Mu Qingyan walked out from behind the case, reached out and poured tea and handed it to Cang Xin.
Cang Xin took it and drank it, naturally and casually.
The two sat down across from each other.
"An Yuqing is extremely conceited, which is far from An Yuxuan's cautious and alert nature. Although An Yuxuan is good at wine and lust, he has one benefit: know the current affairs! When Chu Li was recruited, he simply went under his banner. Obviously he is doing things for Chu Li, and secretly planning to curry favor with Chu Li for greater benefits. Cang Xin tapped on the table, "At that time, no one knew that he was Chu Li's person, until Chu Li fled, he declared that Anxin Lou was subject to Chu Li. ”
Mu Qingyan took a sip of tea, "In the past five years, You Long Xin Pavilion has exhausted all methods to find Chu Li's whereabouts, and it is obvious that An Xinlou has secretly cultivated a force to secretly transmit news. He said that he had seen me in Jinguan City, it was the sixth day after coming out of Phoenix City, and his sphere of influence should be in Jinguan City, and he should also be in Jinguan City. She let out a long sigh, "Jinguan City is four days away from Natsume's capital, and even if he can encourage the whole Natsume to help him, it won't help." ”
"Even if Chu Li gives him great benefits, the entire Natsume is just a soldier of a city." Cang Xin pondered, "Master, what do you mean ......?"
Mu Qingyan nodded, "Let Brother Feng Shen seal the city, only not in and out." It's rare to be serious, she continued: "Phoenix can't afford to miss the slightest. ”
"Yes, I'll give the order." Cang Xin got up to leave.
Mu Qingyan smiled, "What's the hurry, I'll leave after dinner." ”
Cang Xin shook his head, "Is the young master still in the city?" It's only been a few days since I saw her, so I'm a little worried about her. ”
"It should still be there, you haven't closed your eyes in a few days, go back and get a good night's sleep." Mu Qingyan thought of the little girl and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "She can't run again, and it's okay to see you two days later." ”
As soon as Cang Xin walked on the front foot, Sanjiu's back foot came.
"Master, I just got the news." Sanjiu spoke eagerly before he could stand firmly, "All the money herbs in all the pharmacies in Longmen County, Liangzhou and Jincheng have been bought, and all the pharmacies in our Baicaotang have grabbed a lot. ”
Mu Qingyan held the bowl and hadn't eaten a mouthful of food.
"Do you know who it is? Have you ever asked the shopkeeper what the desmodium is for? ”
Sanjiu replied, "I have asked, but it doesn't have much medicinal value." ”
Mu Qingyan pondered for a while, "Let the people of the beggar gang follow, and ask them carefully what other medicinal materials they bought in addition to the desmodium." In addition, inform all the rudders that if there are strangers who buy any herbs in large quantities, they will ask Baicaotang not to sell them. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Sanjiu came and went in a hurry.
Mu Qingyan held the bowl but didn't have the heart to eat, frowning and thinking about what Chu Li was going to do next.
Amber served a bowl of fish soup to the table, "Miss, this is just caught from the lake, and the glass is not there, and I don't know if it is cooked to your liking." She filled more than half a bowl of soup and put it in front of Mu Qingyan, and put the fish head in a small plate and placed it in her hand.
Mu Qingyan suddenly threw the bowl on the table and got up and ran downstairs.
"Miss, miss......" Amber muttered to herself, "What's the matter, I haven't eaten a bite of food!" ”
Coral came up from downstairs and almost collided with his own lady, "Little ......", a sentence was about to be spoken, and Mu was blown out like a light smoke. She didn't know what to do, but she still went upstairs, "Sister Amber, what's wrong with Miss?" ”
"I don't know." Amber gestured to the food on the table, "I didn't eat a bite." ”
Coral ran to the window and shouted into the courtyard, "Cinnabar, cinnabar!" ”
Cinnabar hurriedly ran over from the Jiuqu Bridge, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss is out, you go and see where she goes, she hasn't eaten!" Amber also walked to the window and hurriedly told Cinnabar without waiting for Coral to speak.
Cinnabar shook his hand casually and walked to the Jiuqu Bridge and said, "Miss has floated from the lake to Zhiwuyuan, and it won't be long before she comes back, so let's put dinner first!" ”
Amber and Coral glanced at each other, shook their heads, and went their separate ways.
Mu Qingyan passed by the water on Ningxing Lake, and landed in Zhiwuyuan without success, and crashed straight into Mu Qinghan's room.
"Brother Han, Brother Han......"
Yu Ranqing walked out of the inner room and looked at her with a smile, "What's the matter, why are you so anxious?" ”
"Qing'er, where is Brother Han?" Mu Qingyan stopped beside her and looked behind the screen.
Yu Ranqing took her hand and sat on the couch, "I left after dinner, and I was invited by the people of Yanwang's Mansion." She smiled, "What's wrong?" Let Mo Xuan find him? ”
Mu Qingyan stared at his eyebrows slightly, and shook his head for a while, "I'd better go by myself, it's an urgent matter." She got up and was about to leave.
Yu Ranqing hurriedly grabbed her and pointed to her face, "Just like this, with a face?" ”
Mu Qingyan touched his cheek, his eyebrows tightened, and when he was about to speak, Yu Ranqing had already walked to the door and politely called Mo Xuanlai to the corridor.
"Go and invite your prince back to his house, go back quickly!" Yu Ranqing looked at Mu Qingyan, and flattened her robe with some distress, "It's already summer, why are you still wearing so thick, isn't it hot?" ”
Mu Qingyan shook his head, "I didn't feel hot, the weather was late this year, and it hasn't been hot yet." She reached out and stroked Yu Ranqing's belly, "It's been six months, and he's coming soon." ”
Yu Ranqing's face was holy and radiant, that was the pride of being a mother, and it was also the power of happiness.
In a moment, Mu Qinghan drove the wind back.
"Yan'er, what's so urgent?" Mu Qinghan sat down behind Yu Ranqing, took her into his arms, and let her half-lean and half-lean.
Mu Qingyan didn't have the leisure to joke at this time, "Brother Han, what kind of poison can be detoxified by desmodium?" ”
"Desmodium?" Mu Qinghan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and it wasn't until Mu Qingyan nodded solemnly that he thought about it seriously, and said slowly for a while: "If you want to talk about medicine, it can't do anything alone, and it's not irreplaceable, why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”
Mu Qingyan bit her fingers and fell into deep thought.
"Smoke?" Mu Qinghan called lightly.
She put down her fingers and looked at Mu Qinghan, "Chu Li has been hiding for five years, he has just come out of Natsume on his front foot, and the money grass in Longmen County, Liangzhou and Jincheng on his back foot has been secretly purchased, and it is no longer available on the market." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Mu Qinghan was also alert, "Desmodium can't be used as medicine immediately when it is newly harvested, and it will only be effective in the autumn of the next year, so it can't be ......" He didn't dare to think about it, and asked Mu Qingyan with suspicious eyes: "Isn't he trying to save An Yuxuan?" ”
Mu Qingyan shook his head, "He only has the position of emperor in his heart, and An Xinlou was blind again, and he chose to follow such a master." He groaned for a moment and said: "He shouldn't have known that An Yuxuan took all the hidden piles in the capital to give him the opportunity to fight that night, Cangxin cut off all the news exchanges in An Xinlou, and the capture of An Yuxuan and Nangong Hao has not yet been known to the outside world." ”
"Yan'er, I'm worried about the safety of Longmen County, Liangzhou and Jincheng in the near future." Mu stood up lightly, "The banquet in Yanwangfu has not been dispersed, I still have to go back to discuss it, and I don't need to go to the three cities to find out." ”
"These three cities live in three different directions in the capital, it seems that he intends to take advantage of the chaos." Mu Qingyan frowned.
Mu Qinghan tightened his brows and sighed: "In five years, the old mountains and rivers have just been cleaned up and have a new atmosphere, I can't say it, these three cities are going to experience another beacon fire......
Mu Qingyan nodded, "Liangzhou is farther away, across the green mountains, just let me go!" ”
"Okay, then you can leave immediately." Mu Qinghan forgot that Mu Qingyan was his sister at this moment, and in his heart, he had always put the country before the family.
Mu Qingyan went out and floated back from the lake.
Mu Qinghan stretched out his arm and hugged Yu Ranqing tightly, "Qing'er, I may have to go to Longmen County in person, you must not go out alone when I am not at home, no matter what happens, you should focus on yourself and the child in your womb, can you understand?" ”
Yu Ranqing hugged him back, then let go, and arranged his robe and jade belt, "Don't worry, I will take care of my grandfather and aunt." "She is very well-behaved and sensible.
Mu Qinghan didn't have time to have a long relationship, so he hurriedly went to Yanwang's mansion.
Mu Qingyan returned to Lanyan Pavilion, and Amber hurriedly brought up the dishes that had been heated again.
"Sango, prepare two simple clothes." Mu Qingyan was pulled to the table by Amber and pressed on the chair, and added: "Let people prepare the horse quickly, I will go out of the city tonight." ”
took the bowl that Amber handed to her nose, drank a bowl of fresh fish soup in her anger, and ate half a bowl of rice, with only a few chopsticks slightly moved in various dishes.
She quickly went upstairs, and after a while, she changed into a plain light blue muslin dress, her hair was simply tied in a bun, a blue sky net yarn was pinned next to the bun, and her face was slightly powdered, which looked plumper than before. There was a sword hanging from his waist, and his skin was slightly dark, slightly windy and frosty.
"Miss, your package." Coral ran downstairs after him, put a dark blue muslin bag on Mu Qingyan's shoulder, and tugged at her clothes and said, "Miss, take care!" ”
Mu Qingyan nodded, and took advantage of the night to leave Shuiyue Villa. All the way to the north, over the city wall to the east, less than two miles away, Sanjiu led two horses and waited on the side of the road.
"Let's go!" The two of them flew on their horses and galloped towards Liangzhou City.
