Outside the window, the clouds were thick, the cool breeze caressed Xu Qing's face, blowing the long hair draped over his shoulders, Xu Qingku sat in front of the mirror, holding an old silver hairpin in his hand.

The candles on the bronze platform had burned to the end, and the flickering light of the fire revealed a sense of disgrace. The new candles hadn't had time to be replaced, and there was some darkness in the boudoir.

There was only a sandalwood comb and a headband on the mirror platform, and Xu Qing changed into a white dress. You must know that you can't dress white casually in Beile, unless a relative or friend dies.

"Lord, are you going out?" A deep uneasiness rose in Wu Qi's heart, and he walked behind Xu Qing to comb his hair.

Xu Qing's phoenix eyes did not show any waves, he was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Prepare some incense, candles, and paper money." ”

Naturally, this was not said to Wu Yu, but to the man in black in the dark.

Suddenly, Xu Qing sighed and said helplessly: "Prepare more paper money......

Not long after, under the plaque with a blurred font, Wu Yu helped Xu Qing to get into the carriage at the door, and the housekeeper handed Wu Yu a bamboo basket covered with a white cloth and two oil-paper umbrellas.

Wu Yu took it with a light smile and got into the carriage. The butler took a few steps back and exchanged glances with the coachman, and the two nodded in understanding.

There were twice as many people secretly following as usual, and they all clearly sensed that something was wrong with the Lord.

The wheels moved slowly, round and round, and the carriage drove slowly through the cold streets. Xu Qing sat in the carriage and rubbed his cold ten fingers. Wu Yu leaned against the corner, protecting the basket with one hand and resting the other on his knees.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, sparse rain fell in the sky.

Xu Qing carried a basket and an umbrella and walked into the depths of the grass and trees. The back is tall, but it is also lonely. The corners of the white skirt disappeared into a lush depth.

"I'm coming."

Xu Qing stopped in front of a tombstone, exhaled heavily through his nose, put the umbrella aside, and squatted down. Xu Qing lifted the white cloth, took out the incense candles, lit them, and inserted them separately in front of the stele.

When he got up, he grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it into the air.

"I'm sorry I didn't want to come to see you so late. Tang Yiyi is dead, it stands to reason that I should call you a mother. After speaking, Xu Qing sneered, and his eyes moved to a small earthen bag next to the tombstone, with a solemn expression.

"I don't know if she's dead or not, if she doesn't die, your old man has a spirit in the sky, and you should bless her to live well in the corner of the four dynasties."

"I don't want my identity to be revealed, you know the tricks. I'm sure you don't want to use it on her, do you? ”

The originally intact tombstone cracked in half with a click, smashing to the ground and shattering into countless pieces.

Xu Qing sneered, "I don't care if you're really angry, or if someone is playing tricks." What should be said, what I said, this is the last time I will see you.

Farewell. ”

Xu Qing's head was covered with dense small raindrops, like fine white sugar. She picked up the umbrella and left, and a drop of rain fell from the surface of the umbrella to the tender grass tip, stayed for a while, and slid into the dirt.

A figure appeared next to the shattered tombstone and stood for a long time.

Xu Qing, who returned to the side courtyard, continued to sit in front of the mirror platform, the candles had been replaced with new ones, and she had just eaten a bowl of millet porridge and was a little sleepy.

Raising his hand and touching his face, Xu Qing's eyes darkened, and he lay on the mirror platform. Hearing the movement, Wu Yu tiptoed open the door and came to Xu Qing's side, picked him up and put him on the bed. helped take off his shoes again, pulled the quilt over and covered Xu Qing, and then carefully retreated.

……

"In a few days, we'll be back in the door." Qiu Bai sat next to Xu Qing and said softly, "What are the plans of the young master?" ”

The young Xu Qing turned his head to look at Qiubai, who was dressed as a woman, and said lightly: "I want to go out for a walk." ”

Qiu Bai was not surprised, and bowed slightly: "The young master should go out and have a look, and keep this Xiaozhou firmly in mind." You can buy whatever you like, but don't reveal your identity. ”

"Hmm."

The picture turned and came to a certain alley in Xiaozhou City, where Xu Qing's eyes lit up and approached a teenager who was older than her.

The boy's face was very dirty, and he obviously smeared it on his face on purpose. But the upright facial features and slightly thick bones made Xu Qing inexplicably pleasing to the eyes.

Xu Qing reached out and poked the young man's hand.

"Will you come with me?"

The young man raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot and he couldn't see it really, and he wondered: "You're not afraid of me?" ”

Xu Qing nodded, "Don't be afraid." ”

"That'...... You want me to do something for you, right? The young man knew Xu Qing's purpose in his heart.

Xu Qing thought for a while: "I want you to help me protect someone." ”

The young man glanced around, he could feel that there were many people, and after thinking about it seriously, the young man said, "What if I run now?" What would you do? ”

Xu Qing was silent and did not answer.

The answer is simple, stun and take away.

The boy's head was covered with sweat, oh no!

"I need to train to be a killer, so, will you come with me?"

The boy pursed his lips, did he still have a choice?

"Yes."

There was no sound around, but the boy knew that the person in front of him must be laughing at this time, and he was smiling very happily, and he tried to keep his eyes open, but he only saw a black corner of his clothes.

The picture turned again, in a beautiful valley, a young man blindfolded by a black cloth knelt in the main hall, Xu Qing sat on the main seat and listened to the muffled voice of the man in black beside him: "...... His eye disease has not yet been cured, and there is no way to learn weapons, and he doesn't know anything about the exercises except internal force and light skills.

Subordinates suggested ......"

"You stand down." Xu Qing directly interrupted the man in black, because she saw the young man's hands clenched into fists.

"Yes."

Xu Qing walked towards the young man step by step, but the young man tilted his head and suddenly said, "Is the master going to kill me?" ”

After a pause, Xu Qing sighed: "Why do you think so?" ”

"Because I can't protect the people that Master wants to protect, I'm useless." The boy gave birth to a wave of resentment out of thin air, what is the difference between him and waste now?

"There is no shortage of you who protects her." Xu Qing's eyes sank slightly, "Take care of your injuries, practice light skills first, and then dare to break your legs for the teacher!" ”

"Master......" The young man couldn't say anything in his heart, and he stopped talking.

"Manly man, what kind of body do you become like a girl, talk well!"

The young man blushed: "Yes!" ”

……

Xu Qing, who woke up, opened his eyes and stared blankly at the air.

Before? Is she dreaming again?

The sky outside the window was still gloomy, the wind was cool, holding the warm quilt in his arms, Xu Qing turned over, closed his eyes and muttered: "Why are the recent dreams all his ......?"

Meanwhile, far away in the Togami Imperial Palace, a burly, bronzed-skinned man was taking time out to sit down and rest. Suddenly, his heart jumped, and he stared sideways at the northwest sky, not moving for a long time.

The two ears burned like fire in an instant, and they couldn't be hot.

The man was helpless, and rubbed his ears with his hands, who wanted to rub it more and more hot. Between the fire and lightstone, the man seemed to think of something, his movements froze, and he looked down at his hand in disbelief.
