Chapter 135: Who to See in the Middle of the Night
Qu Youying was startled, and instinctively resisted, the power transmitted by that hand was not very heavy, but it also made her unable to open it for a while, and she was hugged with a full embrace.
It wasn't until the familiar aura from the other party's body spread over with the wind that Qu Youying knew who the person who caught her was.
The atmosphere became silent in an instant, Qu Youying didn't move again, but she couldn't speak, so she could only use her fingers to gently scratch the back of the person's hand a few times.
A chuckle of "hey" sounded in my ears, like a feather brushing my face, itchy, but very comfortable.
Mu Jingzhu hugged her and let go of the hand covering her mouth.
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
The two spoke in unison and glanced at each other, and Qu Youying quickly looked away.
"I'm not worried about you!"
"Are you worried about me?"
In unison again, this time Qu Youying's cheeks slowly heated up, and a faint blush floated on the cover of the night.
She broke free from Mu Jingzhu's confinement and stood a few steps forward, keeping her distance from him.
"I just want to see how Shui Linze is doing."
She said in a very high voice, but she lacked confidence, and Mu Jingzhu didn't poke her, and said, "Since we met, let's go and see it together, it just so happens that I am also a little concerned about his behavior tonight." ”
Without waiting for Qu Youying to answer, he clasped her five fingers tightly, pulled her out of the darkness, and chased her in the direction where Shui Linze's carriage left.
"You let go of me, I can go by myself."
Qu Youying didn't want to be touched by him, but Mu Jingzhu just refused to let go, and the reason was very sufficient.
"Your alertness is too low, if it wasn't me you just met, you're afraid you've been caught by the bad guys. So I can only protect you by pulling you away like this. Otherwise, when I return to Xiangling Town, your father asks me for someone, how should I explain? ”
"Even if you lose it, it has nothing to do with you."
"But your father won't think so, he will only think that I, as a man, didn't protect you well, and it was my negligence."
Mu Jingzhu also became more and more energetic, and the hand holding Qu Youying became tighter and tighter.
"It doesn't matter, I'll write to him and the explanation will be clear." Qu Youying said forcibly while struggling, "What's more, you and I are lonely men and widows, walking on the road in the middle of the night, it's really not polite, you better let me go, so as not to misunderstand." ”
The last sentence was half-aggrieved, and she somehow remembered the way Mu Jingzhu and that woman were together, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour.
Mu Jingzhu didn't stop, but he looked down at her, saw all the displeasure on her face, and then the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he paused before saying, "This is also true, it is not good if you misunderstand, it will affect your reputation and mine." ”
With that, he let go of his hand and really kept his distance from her.
This move made Qu Youying slightly shocked, she looked at Mu Jingzhu walking in front of her slightly sluggishly, and looked at his tall and majestic figure, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
He used to care about such a thing as "reputation"?
Even if she resists hard, he wants to eat her tofu, regardless of the occasion and time.
And now they say it will affect their reputation?
Could it be that he really has something to do with that woman in his heart? For the sake of that woman, does he want her?
The sourness in my heart is like hot water, bubbling up.
Qu Youying bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched into fists, and stood in place, not knowing whether to go or turn around.
She just lowered her head like that, looking at her toes, and on the uppers, the exquisitely embroidered red plum blossoms looked shining in the moonlight.
But there was some fog and confusion, until a drop of water fell on the upper of the shoe, making a slight "click" sound, and she realized that it was not fog, nor was it a drop of water.
Rather, it was her tears.
"Wood—"
The surroundings were quiet, and she suddenly raised her head, but the place where there should have been people in front of her was already empty at the moment, and Mu Jingzhu didn't know where to go, leaving her alone to stand in place, wandering alone in the dark night wind.
"Wood Candle, Wood Candle?"
She exchanged a few words, and found that no one paid attention to her at all, so she naturally thought that Mu Jingzhu had left.
"Are you really gone, are you really leaving me?"
She couldn't accept it for a while, because once upon a time, no matter how angry he was, no matter how much they quarreled, he would not leave her alone.
He once said, "Quarrels are quarrels, and if you are left behind, it is still me who is in trouble, so if you want me to leave you, it is impossible." ”
But in the dark night, she stood for a cup of tea, and she didn't see him reappear.
The heart, also a little bit, slowly cooled away with the evening breeze of the summer night.
Until, a hand fell on her shoulder from behind, and the sound of a fan opening rang in her ears.
"What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Qu Youying didn't need to turn her head, she knew who the person who appeared next to her at this moment.
She said angrily, "Follow people, and then lose them, no!" ”
She pouted angrily, but Jiang Tong smiled happily.
He held a fan and fanned it beside her, and pretended to be elegant in the middle of the night, but he sneered mercilessly, "It's a shame to be thrown home." ”
"You have to take care of it!"
Qu Youying opened her mouth at him and took a bite, then took a step forward and walked forward.
Jiang Tong was not angry, and followed her calmly, the two walked through an intersection in front, Qu Youying stopped, and when she was thinking about going that way, she heard a woman's exclamation from the left front.
It seems to be mixed with hidden pain.
"Is there a situation, go and see?"
Jiang Tong also heard it, but he asked her opinion.
Qu Youying nodded, and the two of them walked in the direction of the source of the sound one after the other.
Then Qu Youying saw the missing Mu Jing Candle, and at this moment, she was holding a beautiful woman in her arms.
That woman was the same beautiful woman she had seen twice.
It's just that she seems to be injured now, there is a large blood stain on her shoulder, and the woman is pale, nestled in Mu Jingzhu's arms, very weak.
"Yo, hugging a beauty in the middle of the night, Master Jing Zhu, it's really a good enjoyment."
Jiang Tong covered his mouth with a fan, and smiled deliberately.
Mu Jingzhu found out that on his body, there was still Qu Youying.
He looked stunned, he didn't expect her to see it.
Originally, he deliberately let go of Qu Youying's hand, just hiding to the side, wanting to see her make a fuss, and then go to comfort her, as usual, to explain the unhappiness that happened between the two before.
But the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't expect that when Qing Barley visited King Yi's camp at night, he would be targeted by the master and injured.
He just helped the barley up, and Qu Youying and Jiang Tong appeared.
And it appeared in a very timely manner.
He looked at Qu Youying and didn't speak for a while, until a gust of wind blew through his hair, and he seemed to come back to his senses, then freed up a hand and said, "Come here." ”
Qu Youying stared at that hand, which was still stained with the blood on the woman's body, which looked so dazzling and stinged her eyes.
Then she shook her head, took the initiative to take Jiang Tong's arm, and said with a smile, "No need, you better hurry up and take that girl to the hospital!" The two of us still have something to do, so we won't accompany us. ”
As she spoke, she was about to drag Jiang Tong away.
"Stop."
Although Mu Jingzhu didn't know everything, it was no accident that Jiang Tong appeared at this time, he called Qu Youying, no matter whether she would be angry with him or not, he had to leave people behind this time, because with Jiang Tong, there would definitely be no good thing.
But before he could say anything, Qing Barley gasped, her face became more and more bad, and she spit out a mouthful of blood, the blood turned black, Mu Jingzhu was shocked, and then she realized that she had been poisoned.
"Childe, don't care about me, I'm fine."
The barley pushed him, but the strength in his hand, how powerless, Mu Jingzhu was clear.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Qing Barley in front of Qu Youying, but because of Qing Barley's identity, he had to give priority to her in this state.
With a grit of teeth, he glared at Qing Barley angrily, then bent down and picked her up with both hands.
"Xiaoying, you go back to the Supreme House first, and when you go back, I will explain to you."
After saying that, he hugged the person and disappeared into the night.
And the person who was called was already in tears at this moment.
Did he choose her in the end?
The heart, a little bit of pain that was pumped in the dark night, hurt as if immersed in a thousand-year-old iceberg, frozen to numbness.
This feeling only appeared when his mother died, but the second attempt was on him.
Only deep love will hurt a lot.
She still remembered that Qianxi had said such things to her.
How much a person's heart hurts, you will know how deep the love is.
She had always refused to admit that she was in love with Mu Jingzhu, but now she understands that love is love, but the pain has also been tasted.
So what about after that?
She looked up at the bright moonlight, and her heart was confused.
Until a fan struck her on the head, like a stick, it pulled her back to reality.
Jiang Tong put a silk handkerchief on the ground, and when he saw that she didn't take it, he personally wiped her tears.
"Isn't she just a woman! Why bother? What man in this world is not three wives and four concubines? It's so ugly to cry like this. ”
"So, you men aren't good things!"
Qu Youying slapped his hand away, wiped the tears on his face with his hands, and then strode into the darkness.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"You don't care. You are not allowed to follow me, I can go back by myself!" ”
She ran away all the way, Jiang Tong really didn't chase her, but looked at her back, and gradually disappeared into the night.
After a while, from the darkness, a person walked out, came to Jiang Tong lightly, bowed down and said, "Childe, the plan is very successful." The barley thought that it was King Yi's people who hurt her. ”
"How is Yiwang's side?"
"It's also arranged."
Mu Yu said this, hesitated for a while, Jiang Tong was keenly aware, "Something else?" ”
"That's right." Mu Yu continued to bow and said, "On the way back, my subordinates met a person. ”
"Who?"
"The eldest prince of Shuifu, Shui Tongze."
"Him?" Jiang Tong "snapped", unfolded the fan in his hand, shook it on his chest, stared at the street in the dark night, ghostly and deep, and after a while, he asked, "Where did you meet?" ”
"It's near the place where Shui Linze and King Yi met tonight. He bought a bowl of wontons on the side of the street, and left without getting close to it, looking nothing strange. But after all, it was an extraordinary time, so the subordinates felt the need to report to Childe. ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Tong shook his fan, his eyebrows were low, he didn't know what he was thinking, and Mu Yu was also waiting on the side, silently.
It wasn't until there was a sound of beating in front of him that he burst out laughing, "Mu Yu, you go and help me do something." ”
