Chapter 10: Confession and Expedition

"Little girl, come, go in and sit!" Situ Qi pulled her to the main house and sat down, it looked very clean inside, someone should have cleaned it. Biluo has already set up lunch.

"When was this built?"

"It was already built the year before last. It's just that this peach blossom is only blooming this year, so I'm going to enjoy the peach blossoms with you today. ”

The year before last, wasn't that when she first came to the palace? Could it be that he was already building this yard when he came back that year? And his memory is really good, exactly the same as her previous yard.

"Why?" Mu Yuqing couldn't help but feel sad, in fact, he really didn't have to do this at all.

"Want to know?" Situ Qi looked a little slumped. Mu Yuqing nodded.

Situ Qi touched her head, "I'll tell you when I see the peach blossoms." ”

After eating lunch and resting for a while, the two got up again. Situ Qi took Mu Yuqing to the courtyard, "Little girl, let's see if you have seen any good kung fu recently." Before Situ Qi finished speaking, he had already made a move, slapping Mu Yuqing with one palm. Mu Yuqing was startled, her body quickly retreated, and she flew onto the roof with a spin.

Situ Qi followed closely, not giving her the slightest chance to hide, a flying leg went straight to her abdomen, Mu Yuqing hurriedly blocked his leg with both hands, and concentrated all his strength on his hands, pushing out, allowing himself to keep a certain distance from Situ Qi.

"Okay, I think the winner has been decided." Mu Yuqing flew back to the courtyard.

Situ Qizheng was holding the vine of the swing with one hand to stabilize his body, and a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, this little girl, I didn't expect her to use poison, and she didn't even notice it, and now she is powerless, so she can only climb this vine to stabilize her body and prevent herself from falling.

Mu Yuqing slowly walked to his side, "Okay, now you can try your luck." Situ Qi sat on the spot, his hands in front of his abdomen, and was recovering from pranayama.

Mu Yuqing was sitting on the swing next to him at the moment, looking at the house in front of him.

A quarter of an hour later, Situ Qi slowly stood up. "Let's go, little girl, I'll take you to see the peach blossom forest behind."

The two of them walked in the peach blossom forest, and the petals fell with the wind, some on their heads and some on their bodies. Mu Yuqing stretched out her hand to take the peach blossoms that fell in mid-air, it was so beautiful, it was like a fairyland on earth.

"Little girl, do you know why I brought you here?" Situ Qi looked at her quiet and beautiful appearance.

"You're guilty of me because of that incident in Maple Village?" Mu Yuqing turned to meet his eyes.

"Little girl, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Is it love at first sight, Mu Yuqing herself doesn't know if there is such a thing in the world. Seeing that Mu Yuqing didn't answer. Situ Qi said, "Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but when I was seriously injured and fainted on the mountain, and when I opened my eyes and saw you for the first time, I didn't think you were beautiful, but then I saw you bandaging my wounds, the worried eyes of the wolves when they came, and supporting me down the mountain with my thin body, my heart began to burst like a flood." ”

Mu Yuqing listened to him quietly, her face slightly hot.

"Speaking of which, even I don't believe that I would like an ordinary little girl." Situ Qi said self-deprecatingly.

"But I just liked it, and the time I spent healing in Maple Village was the happiest I had in years, because you were there. But in the end I had to hurry back to Hanjing overnight, because I received news that the emperor's men had caught up again, and I was afraid that it would cause you trouble, so I left that night while you were asleep. ”

Mu Yuqing remembered, no wonder we didn't see him when the man in black came in, it turned out that at that time, he had already left, but why did he come back later.

"Are you surprised why I went back again, I deliberately left a clue that I left that night, but then I thought about it and was afraid that they would be angry with you, so I hurried back, but when I returned to Maple Village, it was too late after all, there were already corpses all over the ground, and the fire had already spread."

Mu Yuqing thought of the scene that night, and tears fell unconsciously. Situ Qi wiped the tears from her face with his hands and hugged her.

"Girl, I'm sorry, it's all because of me, it's me who ruined your home, so I hope to build another home for you."

Mu Yuqing was stunned, was he confessing to himself? Or is it because of guilt?

Situ Qi let go of her, and instead of forcing her to respond to herself, he pulled her to the house with a hot spring, "Look at your crying dirty appearance, go ahead, wash yourself, I will ask Biluo to bring you a change of clothes to go in." We'll be back later. ”

Ever since Situ Qi broke the story between the two of them, Mu Yuqing would feel a little embarrassed by his side. Situ Qi also felt that Mu Yuqing was avoiding him, but he didn't think it was anything, because he was going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and his life and death were uncertain.

As soon as Situ Qi went back, he went to the study, and even ate dinner in the study. After dinner, he summoned all the seven kills, and the shopkeeper of Liuxiangyuan, Biluo, Bihan, Ziqian, and Yixue were all called to the study to discuss matters.

In the study, Situ Qi sat on the desk, and the faint light hit the person's body, but it couldn't hide the serious atmosphere. They don't have a bottom in their hearts, and the master rarely lets everyone get together to discuss things, and now this situation is probably very serious. The expressions on everyone's faces were very serious.

"Master, is there anything you have to do to get you together today?" Chen Kai, the shopkeeper of Liuxiangyuan, asked the question in everyone's mind.

"This king is indeed looking for you to announce something, this king will go to the west tomorrow, life and death are uncertain, when this king is not there, the Seven Killing Pavilion, Liuxiang Garden, are all under the orders of Mu girl."

"Master, this ......, my subordinates are willing to follow my master to the west." I don't know who said it first, and everyone else followed.

"The subordinates are willing to follow their masters to the west"

"The subordinates are willing to follow their masters to the west"

……

Situ Qi waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, "This king naturally knows that you are willing to go with me, but you are all gone, who will handle the affairs here, and Miss Mu is the person I want to protect, I hope you treat her like this king." ”

"No, my lord, it is dangerous to go to the west here, not to mention going to war, what if the emperor sends someone to ambush him?" Chen Kai looked at Situ Qi worriedly.

"Yes, Lord Wang, you have to think twice." Yixue and Kill Er, they also agreed.

"This king has thought it through, kill one, kill six, kill seven, you go with me on the expedition, and the rest of the people stay in Hanjing and obey Miss Mu."

They still wanted to refute after killing Chen Kai, but Situ Qi added another sentence to make them calm down instantly. "If you don't listen to my orders, then quit!"

"You stay in Hanjing, take care of Miss Mu for this king, and send me any news at any time. Well, this king will go on a campaign tomorrow, so you all go back! ”

This group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally left helplessly.

"Biluo, kill two, Chen Kai, you stay." Biluo, kill two, Chen Kai was called back by Situ Qi as soon as he wanted to step out of the door.

"Kill two, after killing one with me tomorrow, I will hand over the Seven Killing Pavilion to Miss Mu to manage, and you will assist her well. There is also Chen Kai, Liuxiangyuan is also handed over to Miss Mu to take care of, you help this king to assist her. ”

"As for Biluo, here is a letter and the token of the Seven Killing Pavilion and the Lingering Fragrance Garden, and you will hand it over to the little girl tomorrow after I leave."

"Yes, master."

By the time Situ Qi finished arranging, it was already late at night. He glanced at the full moon in the sky and walked outside Mu Yuqing's door. At this moment, Mu Yuqing was already asleep. He watched her sleeping side face through the crack in the window and didn't go back until dawn.

Early the next morning, Situ Qiyi's silver armor, the red tassel on the helmet danced in the wind, and a sword pinned to his waist, although there were faint dark circles under his eyes, but he couldn't stop his heroic and mighty temperament.

When Mu Yuqing came to the main hall for breakfast, she didn't see Situ Qi and thought that he had gone to the morning court, and as soon as she finished eating, Biluo handed her a letter and some tokens, "Miss, this is a letter from the prince to the slave maid." ”

"Letter?" Mu Yuqing didn't believe it, obviously everyone was under the same roof, why did he write to himself?

"Yes, the prince said that you will understand if you read it."

Mu Yuqing opened the letter in her hand, and the letter wrote, "Little girl, I'm leaving." I'm going to the west to go on an expedition, I don't know when I'll be able to return, those tokens are the tokens of the Seven Killing Pavilion and Liuxiang Yuan, and you are going to take over the Seven Killing Pavilion and Liuxiang Yuan today, if I can't come back, those powers can help you take revenge. Also, you have to take good care of yourself. ”

"When did the prince go on the expedition, why didn't I know?" Mu Yuqing got up a little anxiously and looked at Biluo.

"On the day of the emperor's birthday banquet, the master was suddenly called to the Jinluan Palace to discuss the war in the west, the prince had already set off early this morning, and specially instructed the slave to let him leave and then give the letter to the young lady."

"On the day of the birthday banquet......" Mu Yuqing muttered to herself. It turned out that he knew that he was going to go on the expedition that day, no wonder the emperor would let him rest yesterday, it turned out that he was letting him rest for a while to go to war. Then what he said to himself yesterday ...... is that he feels that he has no life to come back, so he ....... Mu Yuqing didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Miss, also, the prince wants you to start taking over the Seven Killing Pavilion and the Lingering Fragrance Garden today, and the prince also asked the slave to tell you: Now your identity is the prince's favorite, and there may be people who want to harm you openly and secretly, so you should be more careful!"
