Chapter 80: Letter from the Ghost
That night, Mu Mo and Sikong Heng went back to the guest room to rest.
Mu Mo unwrapped the gauze wrapped around his shoulders and waist for Sikong Heng, changed the medicine, and re-bandaged it, and heard the melodious sound of the zither faintly; After a while, the crisp sound of the flute joined in, gracefully lingering.
After Mu Yu finished bandaging the wound, he couldn't help pursing his lips: "Du Ruo's best "Fishing Boat Singing Night". ”
"Yes, Zhang Guigui and Qiang's flute is in the song, but it has some fun."
When Sikong Heng heard the music, he also smiled indifferently, and looked at Mu Yu again, only feeling wonderful: I don't know when she began to have such a plan; is sensitive to emotion, and it has also reached such an extent. Even her favorite poetry book can deal with it easily. Compared with the meeting just two years ago, the little girl already looks like an adult.
Sikong Heng thought of the words of the Ming Ghost before leaving......
This girl...... You can't just look at her as a child anymore......
Mu Mo saw Sikong Heng looking at her in a trance, and couldn't help pouting: "Don't look at people like this, I can also count it as pushing the wicked person and Du Ruo into the fire pit." Speaking of which, I feel despicable for the sake of revenge. ”
"Mu Yu", Sikong Heng bandaged the wound, put on his clothes again, and persuaded him gently, "Du Ruo's matter, don't blame yourself too much." I had already talked to her about entering Liangzhou with Zhang Guigui before this trip, and Du Ruo agreed. Otherwise, yesterday you mentioned the idea of using the alcohol order to attract Zhang Guigui's attention, and she would not have been so attentive. ”
But after all, it is related to her happiness for the rest of her life...... I always feel ...... For their own benefit...... So he exchanged Du Ruo as an item...... Such cold-blooded and unscrupulous...... What's the point of revenge? ”
Mu Yu blamed himself for fiddling with his nepotism, thinking of Zhang Guigui's approving expression when Du Ruo said the words of "Female Virtue" today, what can Du Ruo expect from a man like that? The Mo family talks about "love", if the master knew that he used such a method to avenge the Mo family, what would he think? Over the years...... Did you do something wrong?
"Mu Yu", Sikong Heng was silent for a long time before he admitted calmly, "I am not a saint, and raising a maid in the Thousand Machines Courtyard is not entirely out of kindness. Green Valerian entered Beijing alone, Red Lily married Qi Guo, Mu Hibiscus curryed favor with Sikong Cong, and Du Ruo calculated Zhang Guigui, how could I not feel pain in my heart? However, there are many things between masters, servants, and soldiers, and it is not impossible to bear to do them. ”
Sikong Heng paused for a moment, thinking of the dozen sleepless nights before letting Hongli go to the Qi Kingdom, and heard that Sikong Cong's heart was like a knife when he treated Hibiscus, and he was out of his mind for a while, before he said, "Of course, I will try my best to take care of their wishes, and I will do my best to arrange everyone's back road, but sometimes even I am walking on the blade, and it is difficult to predict what the future will be." Courage and concern, loyalty and filial piety and benevolence, many things in this world often cannot be the best of both worlds, and between the trade-offs, they will be disappointed. ”
"Lord Wang", Mu Yu thought that when he talked about the grievances between the Wei family and the Tuoba Department before, Sikong Heng also said the same thing, and then thought of the hibiscus who was abused by Sikong Cong outside Chang'an City, the red knotweed who was so desperate that he wanted to commit suicide, and the alfalfa, Liulan and Du Ruo who were willing to be used, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The royal heart of the emperor, I'm only afraid of me, it's no different from you, right?" ”
"Mu ......" Sikong Heng thought of her bold move to drive Zhang Qian away that night, thought of her pear blossom crying when Qianji Valley was injured, and thought of the faint magnolia fragrance on her body, what she wanted to say, and finally swallowed it.
Mu Yu was silent, and laughed at himself because of Sikong Heng's silence.
That night, Du Ruo did not return for a night, and in the early morning of the second day, Zhang Guigui came to visit Sikong Heng.
Seeing this, Mu Yu had already known that he was interested in avoiding it, Zhang Guigui and Sikong Heng talked behind closed doors for more than two hours, and Sikong Heng decided to take Du Ruo and Zhang Guigui to Liangzhou together; In the afternoon of the same day, Chi Lu finally appeared in Prince Yi's mansion, nominally escorting Sikong Heng and everyone back to Liangzhou, but in fact, he quietly escorted Mu Yu back to Qianji Courtyard. Mu Mo took the blood gallop and left Prince Yi's mansion, and when he was out of Sikong Yi's sight and secretly separated from Sikong Heng and others, he faintly glimpsed the black shadow on the roof of Prince Yi's mansion.
In the past few days, Chi Lu has not relaxed for a moment outside the Yiwang Mansion.
Back at Qianji Courtyard, Mu Mo and Liulan briefly talked about what happened on this trip, and Liulan was shocked when she heard it, and sighed: "I can't see that Du Ruo is timid on weekdays, and he can still have this kind of courage at this time!" ”
"I'm afraid that after so many years, many times she is also pretending." Mu Yu said, thinking of seeing Poria's letter in the Yiwang Mansion, and gasped, "In Qianji Courtyard, no one knows what secrets are hidden in everyone's body. ”
"Hmm." Rulan nodded thoughtfully, "That's a good point!" ”
In order to frighten Mu Yu, that night, Liulan asked Qiao Po to steal a small stove and make a few new dishes; The two of them chatted around the fireplace, thinking of the scene when they were eating meat and chatting with alfalfa and being interrupted by Du Ruo, and sighed for a long time. Now, Alfalfa and Du Ruo are no longer there, and there are fewer and fewer people in Qianji Academy, and when they think of their future, both of them are stupid.
After a while, they dispersed, and Mu Yu returned to the room, feeling even more empty.
Throughout the winter, there was calm after the turmoil at the Self-Defense.
The Yiwang Mansion seemed to have hurt his vitality, and he didn't ask Sikong Heng for any trouble; Sikong Heng had good contacts with the leaders of various ethnic groups in the northwest, and his relationship with Zhang Guigui was much more harmonious than that with Lu Bu, and the internal and external troubles in Liangzhou came to an end for the time being.
In March, Qianjiyuan received a letter from Kyoto Green Valerian, it is said that Empress Lu's cousin Lu Mi for snatching people's fiancée, a life lawsuit, the family of the deceased sued the Yamen, Kyoto's gate lord Confucian scholars have written to impeach Lu Mi with the help of Empress Lu to spoil men and women in Kyoto, as a prestige, and an endless stream of people went to the successor Xiang Hong's Confucian mansion, asking him to give advice.
Xiang Hongru was jealous because of the Weimen tragedy, and did not dare to directly conflict with Queen Lu; Empress Lu observed the situation, so she asked Sikong Dong to supervise the trial of Lu Mi's case, and in the end, the big thing turned into a small one, and she paid a few hundred taels of silver to settle the matter.
Seeing this, the family of Kyoto gate valves became more and more complaining, and Queen Lu took resolute measures to deal with a few officials who had no family background to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys; Xiang Hongru mediated between him, so that he saved the life of the official and settled the dispute between his relatives and the gate valve.
When Mu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Guigui's clever teacher; Secretly discussing with Liulan, they all felt that the power of the Lu family, which Sikong Dong was backing, did not seem to be as stable as before, and there seemed to be new changes in Kyoto.
As soon as he said goodbye to Prince Yi's mansion, Mu Yu lost contact with He Baht and Ming Ghost; But in mid-July, Mu Mo received a letter from the pivotal mao, and the ruler was engraved with Sikong Heng's magnolia bird pattern, and when he opened it, it was the handwriting of the Ming ghost-
Ming Ghost said that Lü Liulute had rebelled in Liangzhou, and he was instigated by Shen Chang to defect, but he was exterminated by Sikong Cong's army last month. Lü Liulu fled into the mountains, and he and Shen Chang were captured by Sikong Cong; Thanks to Sikong Heng's mediation, Sikong Cong released him, and now he has returned to Liangzhou. Next month, he will go to the Valley of Thousand Machines with Sikong Heng, and he has something important to know.
Mu Yu took the letter and read it several times, still confused: Since he returned to the Yiwang Mansion without saying goodbye, what kind of thoughts did the Ming ghost have to go to Liangzhou? Where is Big Brother? How did the Ming ghost get involved with Sikong Heng?
Mu Mo thought about it, couldn't help frowning, replied to the Ming Ghost, asked him to be obedient and stop causing trouble, and made an appointment with the time and place of the meeting in Qianji Valley, wrote "Ming Ghost Personally Enlightened", and put in a blank ruler, intending to let the pivot turn back to Sikong Heng.
was about to seal it, but he hesitated, opened the ruler, and added another sentence to the letter:
During the period in Liangzhou, I discussed with Sikong Heng more and asked him to take care of him.
A few days after the ruler was sent, Mu Mo and Liulan Bairui had lunch together, and they heard the two of them making a noise, saying that Sikong Heng was going to come to Qianji Courtyard on August 15; Since Alfalfa Du Ruo left one after another last year, Sikong Heng came to Qianji Academy for the first time, and the two of them speculated about the purpose of his trip. Mu Yu thought about the letter of the green man and the Ming ghost, and faintly speculated.
