Chapter 16: The Mountain Rain is Coming
The two separated from the teahouse.
Mu Yu asked: "I don't know who the strong man's surname is?" ”
"Under the surname Yang, the single name is the word 'ruler', I don't know the girl's name?"
Mu Mo hugged his fists and told him the truth: "My name is 'Mu Wu', and I am the eighth-ranked disciple of the Mo family. ”
"Mu Yu girl, I hope things work out, we will meet later!"
Yang Qi said goodbye to Mu Mo, and Mu Mo returned the salute to him, and then hurriedly parted with him.
At this time, because he had already obtained evidence of Sikong Dong's collusion with Yu Wannian, Mu Mo felt that there was no need to wait for Yu Wannian's mansion to appear and monitor his whereabouts, but because he thought of the agreement with the Ming ghost, he still came to the gate of Xiliang City.
After waiting for about an hour, I wanted to meet with the Ming ghost, but I never saw him coming, Mu Mo searched for a while in the city, but there was still no trace of the Ming ghost, and he was a little worried, so he went out of the city gate and came to the bank of the Xiliang River.
Who knew that in the middle of the night, there were still no ghosts, and there was an ominous premonition in my heart.
For a while, I didn't know whether I should go back to Sikong Heng's camp to inform today's harvest first, or continue to find the ghosts to meet.
Secretly weighed it, thinking that the ghosts have always been clever, maybe they were stumped by something, and they didn't need to worry about themselves; On the contrary, Sikong Heng was there, whether he wanted to save Hou Fuluo, or to find out the cause of his master's death, or to overthrow Sikong Dong to avenge his master, he had to go back, so he left a unique mark of the Mo family on the bank of the Xiliang River for the Ming ghost, and then returned to Sikong Heng's camp tent.
Chi Lu waited at the gate of the barracks, looked at Mu Wu, and hurriedly quietly covered her back to Sikong Heng's camp tent, and asked with concern: "What difficulties does the girl encounter outside, why did she come back at this time?" ”
Mu Yu didn't want to mention the section of Ming ghosts, so he didn't want to mention the Ming ghost for a while, and then he found a reason to prevaricate at random.
Back in Sikong Heng's tent, the candlelight dimly illuminated only the outline of the sandalwood case, and the copper-colored lamp was filled with half a dish of burnt oil and wax; Sikong Heng was dressed in ordinary deep clothes, holding a pen in his hand to sketch the picture of the birds in the cold mountains. The candlelight danced and cast the shadow of the flower in the white jade net bottle between his ink lake-like eyebrows and eyes, covering his obscure expression.
Mu Mo moved to Sikong Heng's side, poked his head out and leaned over to his painting, curious about what made him so engrossed.
The other party acted as if he had never seen Mu Yu, and only cared about outlining the mountain birds on the paper with ink.
"Lord Wang, the girl is back." Chi Lu kindly reminded Sikong Heng.
"Hmm." Sikong Heng replied softly, did not look up, and continued to concentrate on painting.
Chi Lu was embarrassed, thought for a while, and retreated. Mu Yu was so bored, rubbing his feet and waiting aside.
After half a cup of tea, all the lamp oil in the copper-colored lamp was burned out, and Sikong Heng stopped his pen and added new oil to the lamp.
Mu Yu was originally worried that Sikong Heng would interrogate the details of today's trip, so he would find a reason to prevaricate about the ghost, but he didn't expect him to ask anything, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took out half of the bark from his arms, and said: "This is the defense map of Xiliang City that I observed and drew today, and I will use it for you to fight in two days." Also, guess who I ran into in town today! ”
Sikong Heng took the defense map and studied it carefully for a long time before he raised his eyes and asked, "Sikong Dong?" ”
Mu Mo raised his eyebrows, took out the contract signed by Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian from his arms, and said in detail what had happened between her and Yang Qi in the teahouse in the city today: "What? I'm amazing! directly got back the evidence of the collusion between Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian! This time, you don't have to worry about any 'no name'! ”
Sikong Heng frowned, and took the contract from Mu Yu's hand, but he didn't see half of the joy: "You are also willful!" If he goes back today, tell you the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save your life! The situation in Liangzhou is complicated, and the whole body is affected by one move, and one move may lose the whole game! ”
"No, it won't!" Mu Yu pouted unconvinced, "Yang Qi is not that kind of person!" Besides, even if Yang Qi tells us that the evidence of the collusion between Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian is in our hands, he can't do anything to us! ”
Sikong Heng sighed slightly, shook his head, opened the contract, and pondered while looking at it: "On the surface, Yu Wannian and Sikong Dong seem to have formed an alliance, but in fact, they have their own thoughts. Sikong Dong Mingli took Yu Wannian's only son Yu Qianyi as a hostage, and secretly sent someone to the secret pavilion to tear up the contract, Yu Wannian didn't want to secretly take Yu Qianyi back? But...... Where did Sikong Dong hide Yu Qianyi? ”
"Hey!" Mu Yu interrupted Sikong Heng, crossed his waist, stood on tiptoe, and asked angrily, "I brought you such important information and brought you such a key thing, you don't say a word of thanks?!" ”
"Thanks?" Sikong Heng shook his head, smiled helplessly, and still looked down at the contract and thought.
"Ungrateful!" Mu Mo muttered angrily, thinking that in the file of the Teahouse Secret Pavilion today, he saw the grievances and grievances between the Langya King and his wife and the Mo family, so he asked, "Your big bow was really brought when you were looking for me?" ”
Hearing this, Sikong Heng looked up at the giant bow hanging on the wall, and his thoughts were also taken to the place where the catastrophe occurred.
On the day of the fire in July, there was a vast expanse in the white shallot valley. The white grass reborn from the fire grew vigorously under the moisture of the blood stains that seeped into the ground, and the scorched arrows, blackened white bones, and the signs of the melee a few months ago could be vaguely seen, which was more reminiscent of the tragic situation of the parents before the death of the parents in Xiliang City, and the frightened look on the face of the mother concubine.
Midnight dreams, that scene often makes people wake up suddenly, and for a moment, they are covered in sweat.
Sikong Heng was stunned and asked, "Otherwise?" What are your thoughts? ”
"It's just a matter of asking, it's so fierce." Mu Mo pouted, and muttered dissatisfied.
Sikong Heng was noncommittal, and only said, "You take a shower, change into clean clothes, and go to bed early." These days, it is very likely that I will not be in the camp, and I will tell Chi Lu what I need. Just one thing, don't leave the tent. ”
"I'm the only one?" Mu was stunned, "Then where are you going?" ”
Sikong Heng glanced at her deeply: "You don't have to worry about these things, you just don't make trouble." ”
"Hey! Where am I going to make trouble? Mu Yu jumped to his feet unconvinced, and was about to ask Sikong Heng what he planned to do next, but he had already paced out quickly, leaving the camp, so he had to give up the interrogation stupidly, dissatisfied that he did not discuss revenge with him.
In the next few days, Mu Yu did not leave the camp again according to what Sikong Heng said.
Chi Lu regularly sent three meals a day and a change of clothes, and Sikong Heng almost never met her again.
I often fell asleep at night, only to hear the sound of him squirming back to camp, and woke up in the morning when he was no longer there. Occasionally, I woke up early, and I ran into him going out, listening to him and Chi Lu's words, and most of the things planned were related to Sikong Dong for more than 10,000 years.
Mu Yu knew that Xiliang City was already full of mountains and rains.
