Chapter 81: Red Makeup
On August 15, the morning exercise ended, and Ye Ji stayed alone in the bamboo forest to train.
Mu Yu was blindfolded, waved his sword and confronted Ye Ji, dozens of rounds, and he was not up or down.
In the last move, Mu Yu smelled a faint fragrance of Magnolia, and a voice said gently: "At the beginning, under Ye Ji's hands, she couldn't win three moves if she tied her hands and feet; Now she is in the dark and you are in the light, but she is equal for dozens of rounds, and she is really talented. β
"Lord Wang." Mu Mo heard Ye Ji's voice, took off his mask dissatisfiedly, and pursed his lips.
"Peeking at other people's whereabouts is not a gentleman's doing!" Mu Mo muttered, and finally understood why Ye Ji left her to train alone.
Sikong Heng smiled indifferently: "Watching 'chess' and being silent, it is the true gentleman's doing." β
"Cut!" Mu Mo put away his sword and asked, "Didn't you come in the evening?" How did you come so early? β
"Come and see you." Sikong Heng said, turned to Ye Ji to signal, Ye Ji nodded, and left with interest.
Seeing this, Sikong Heng took out a pair of white jade earrings, gestured twice to Mu Wu's ear, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "I heard from Shu Mao a few days ago that you and Liulan had their ears pierced, thinking that I would give you a decent gift, which is also commensurate." β
"Every time I come back, I don't come empty-handed, I'm so poor that I have nothing to repay!"
Mu Yu said, took off the earrings, but he was also happy in his heart.
Sikong Heng smiled: "I know." After that, he put on earrings for Mu Yu.
"That's right", Mu Mo put on the earrings, and asked directly, "Ming Ghost is in Liangzhou, and he has suffered a lot of crimes, right?" β
"It's nothing, since that day we said goodbye in the Yiwang Mansion, I have been sending someone to take close care of him, Lu Telu was defeated, there were early signs of things, until the Ming ghost was arrested, I also arranged in advance, and I didn't let him suffer from prison, so I returned to Liangzhou."
Sikong Heng said, paused for a moment, and then said a little apologetically, "It's just that I didn't tell you in advance, and I deliberately didn't let people stop Sikong Cong from arresting people, which made him a little frightened; Otherwise...... I'm afraid that he won't go back to Liangzhou now. β
"My junior brother, I know best, and I also have good intentions for you, and I take care of you more."
Mu Yu said, thinking of the purpose of the Ming Ghost going to Liangzhou, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and then thought of the speculation a few days ago, paused for a moment, and asked, "You came back here, shouldn't it be so simple just to see me?" Letter from Green Valerian...... You're here for this, right? β
"Heh", Sikong Heng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You can't hide anything from you now." β
"The contradiction between Empress Lu and the Kyoto Gate Valve is deepening day by day, I heard that the Gate Valve nobles are preparing to support Emperor Hui's eldest son Sikong Ji as the crown prince of the current dynasty, Sikong Ji is ambitious, and he is very discordant with Lu Mi, and he is making a lot of trouble?"
"Mu ......" Sikong Heng was hesitating, thinking about how to divert the topic, but faintly saw Chi Lu.
Sikong Heng found an excuse in time and left with Chi Lu, so as not to continue to ask Mu Yu.
Seeing this, Mu Mo laughed helplessly, thinking to himself, he was also hesitating.
That night, the school held a banquet, and Sikong Heng spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with everyone; At the end of midnight, Mu Yu was thinking about noon, and still wanted to ask Sikong Heng for clarification; secretly chased Sikong Heng to the bamboo forest, but saw Chi Lu waiting there.
Mu Mo hesitated, ducked to the side, and secretly listened to the conversation between the two.
"Lord Wang", Chi Lu made a message to Sikong Heng, "A letter from Hongli said that Sikong Huang's contacts with various clans are getting closer and closer, and Sikong Huang's letter from the prince has also been received, and everything has been arranged in Qingzhou. β
"Hmm." Sikong Heng slowly raised his head, looked at the night sky and the bright moon, and thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Langya in the old days, and the situation of appreciating chrysanthemum crabs with his father and mother and concubine. After three years of painstaking work and patience, I finally waited for this moment.
"Lord Wang", Chi Lu looked at Sikong Heng, hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively, "Now...... Who are you going to take to Luoyang? Lu Valerian often wrote letters, saying that although Yuan Ranchong was rich in Kyoto and had frequent contacts with princes and nobles, after all, the merchants were in the opposition, and many situations in the court could not be fully grasped; The situation in the palace is even more difficult to start. Our plan is to succeed...... I'm afraid that there needs to be a reliable person to pass on the news in the palace, and the inside and outside should be combined in order to wash away the grievances of the Langya Palace. β
"Since Du Ruo left, there are few people left in the Thousand Machine Courtyard who are now reassuring. Bairui City Mansion is too shallow, there are too many hyacinths, Xiangche is too innocent, Liulan's qualifications are mediocre, and Poria doesn't need to talk about it. β
Sikong Heng sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Let me think again." β
"Lord Wang......" Chi Lu spied on Sikong Heng's face, and asked cautiously for a while, "If you say that you are exquisite, not surprised, and have martial arts skills that can deal with the treacherous people in Kyoto...... I'm afraid it's not Mu ......"
"Say no more!" Sikong Heng interrupted Chi Lu, his face was gloomy, and he paused word by word, "I won't let Mu Yu get involved in the dispute in Luoyang." Don't mention this to anyone again. β
"My subordinates understood." Chi Lu confessed to Sikong Heng.
"Mu Yu?" Qianqi looked at the figure in the bamboo forest in a daze, and Mu Yu listened attentively.
Mu Yu was startled, turned his head and saw the thousand orifices behind him, his brain "buzzed", and he immediately fled.
Back in the room, my brain was still blank; Thinking about the conversation between Chi Lu and Sikong Heng, he was distracted for a long time, and after a while, he bit his lip fiercely, wrote a letter to Sikong Heng, and asked him to come to meet him at three o'clock the next day.
On the second day, Mu Mo asked Shu Mao for a few pots of good wine in the morning, and in the afternoon borrowed her treasured Tongmu Yaoqin from Danpa, and in the evening, she fried two meats, two vegetables and four side dishes with Liulan, and returned to the room at the end of the day.
I took a bath with magnolia petals, changed into a newly cut cistanche embroidered gold and red brocade skirt of the Kaichun Qiao Po, inserted two magnolia hairpins on the bun, painted my eyebrows, dotted my lips, appliquΓ©d yellow, and brought the jade bracelet and earrings given by Sikong Heng, and looked carefully at myself in the bronze mirror.
Mu Yu opened the sheathed white marble sword that had been sealed for a long time, carefully rubbed it for a long time, and took out a pair of tasseled sword spikes wrapped together, and wore the ink silk knot on a piece of green jade with dried raspberry fruit, which was October last year...... After Mu Mo received the birthday gift of Sikong Heng's Mulan hosta, he began to make objects.
Mu Mo hesitated, put the tassel into his arms, and was still distracted.
The candle flame flickered, the fine sand trickled, and finally, the hourglass scale pointed to three quarters in the hour.
There was a knock on the door outside the door, Mu Yu took a deep breath, opened the door, and saw that under the bright moonlight, the long figure with the familiar magnolia fragrance dragged out a long shadow, and on the silver brocade belt around his waist, there was the sheathed white broken jade sword. Mu Yu thought of the pair of tasseled sword spikes, and couldn't help pinching his palm, and fine sweat oozed from his palm.
"Mu ......" Sikong Heng looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment.
The hesitation and uneasiness that began to detect her eavesdropping yesterday were replaced by the surprise of the abnormal outfit in front of her:
The red brocade skirt with a gold-embroidered cistanche pattern is a bright color and gorgeous fabric that she rarely uses; The complicated bun under Mulan's hairpin and delicate makeup are not at all what she is used to wearing.
This girl...... Haven't you listened to yesterday...... Could it be wrong?
"Come in." Mu Mo opened the door and let Sikong Heng enter the house.
Sikong Heng walked into the house, saw the Yaoqin on the table, and a table of wine and food, he was more and more surprised, and was stunned for a long time before pointing to the steamed stone chicken and stewed bamboo shoots among them, and asked in astonishment: "...... Done? β
"Hmm", Mu Mo pulled out the wooden chair next to the table, poured a glass of wine for Sikong Heng, sandwiched the Langya-flavored side dishes in the small plate in front of him, and said, "Lord Wang, you sit, I have something to ask you." β
"Mu ......" Sikong Heng sat down in a daze, looking at the girl in front of him in astonishment. The day before yesterday, she asked the letter of the green valer, the conversation she heard in the bamboo forest yesterday, with her intelligence, I am afraid that I would have understood the stakes earlier, right? It's just that I took her to the Thousand Machine Academy...... I really never thought about what to make her do, but now, how can I explain it to make people believe it?
"Lord Wang", Mu Yu sat opposite Sikong Heng, and also poured himself a full glass of wine, drank it all, and then spoke with the strength of the wine, "At the beginning, you asked me to go to the Thousand Machine Academy, I was very dissatisfied, not only did I not accept Ye Jiguan, those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also felt very bored; Later, Danpa taught me, 'Mortal sound, its love is also believed, and then its heart is also thick', I know that the sound of the piano is born from the heart, and I gradually like it, but after so many years, you don't seem to know how well I play the piano, right? β
"Mu ......" Sikong Heng looked at her cheeks slightly red, and gently snatched the wine glass from her hand, "Don't drink anymore." The wine of the pivot, according to the ancient method of the 'wine saint' Du Kang, there is a popular rumor that 'Liu Ling has been drunk for three years'. β
"Lord Wang......" Mu Yu was slightly drunk, looking at Sikong Heng, and the words had already reached his lips.
