Chapter II
When she woke up, the lights were dim, she blinked repeatedly, trying to see her surroundings clearly, her wound had been treated and bandaged, she moved slightly, the piercing pain made her give up struggling. She looked around quietly, the patterns on the walls were intricate, like runes, there were only two lamps in the huge room, and there was a smell of medicine.
"Are you awake? It just so happened that I had just finished boiling the medicine, but it was a little hot, and I could only drink it when it was cold" The person who came was a woman, with a crisp voice, a round face, round eyes, and a white and red skin, which was very cute. She couldn't help but wonder that she shouldn't look like a person in the martial arts, but more like a maid in the mansion of a dignitary.
She nodded to the woman, and shrank back in anticipation. The light here is dim, like an underground cage that never sees the light of day. She's better to be careful.
"Where is this? Who are you? She asked.
"Girl, come, drink the medicine first, the Lord has commanded me to cure you" The woman ignored her question, still with the same face as before, and smiled.
"At least let me know who you are, right? Otherwise, how can I drink it" She pushed the medicine away and looked at the woman.
"I'm the moonset, I'm the doctor here, don't worry, it's not poisonous, I finally saved you I don't want you to have any mistakes" She smiled, this woman was really worried. I still remember half a month ago, when I saw her for the first time, the dense wounds on her body were deep and shallow, and there was a lot of blood on her body, I don't know if it was hers or someone else's. She stepped forward to help her up, and as soon as she touched her, she pushed her away defensively as if it were a natural reaction, and she could see that it was instinct, a will to survive. But this was surprising to her, obviously she was already struggling to the death, but she didn't forget to take precautions.
She took the medicine and drank it without saying a word, and although the medicine was extremely bitter, she didn't even frown.
"So, your master is the one who brought me back?" She thought that the person who brought her back was not simple, who would be a person who was about to die and had an unknown origin.
"That's right, the Lord knows, you will definitely ask when you wake up, so I want you to take you to the East Courtyard to find him after you recover from your injuries" What the Lord said is not wrong at all, this woman is really thoughtful, although there is nothing on the surface, it is estimated that she has changed several thoughts in her heart.
"Don't wait, now, I never owe anyone else" She is too herself, everything she owes to others has to be repaid, and she lives freely without delay.
"Okay, I'll take you there" The doctor was not reluctant, she knew that even if she said it, she still couldn't change it.
They walked through a long corridor to the garden, the outside was very different from the inside, at least not dim, even very flowery, the strange thing is that the scenery here is very beautiful, it stands to reason that someone should take care of it, but there is no one here, and the silence makes people panic. She frowned, and couldn't help but be wary.
"When you arrive, the Lord is inside, girl, please come in"
The setting moon led her to the most remote room in the courtyard, and she pushed open the door, and the interior was very simple, all made of sandalwood. She didn't see anyone, she looked around, and there was incense in the house, like osmanthus, which smelled very good.
"You're here, sit down," a man dressed in light gold came out from behind the beaded curtain, looking swaggering. The facial features are very three-dimensional and profound, and the proportion is not more than a point, not a little less, as if it is carved, quite stylish. He walked over, picked up the tea, poured her a cup of tea, and sat down. He didn't even look at him, but glanced out of the corner of his eye.
She didn't mind, it wasn't his kind anyway. She sat down opposite each other and drank his tea. The difference was that she hadn't taken her eyes off him since he appeared. She didn't know in her image that this person could be in the most prosperous area of the capital, but it was the most difficult place for people to build a house. Not even the list of people she regularly contacts to intercept and kill.
"Who are you, and what saved me?" She didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I know who you are and I saved you." He tasted the tea he had concocted, and raised his eyebrows slightly, today's tea was actually brewed very well.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Her instincts had always been accurate, and it didn't matter to her who he was, what mattered what his purpose was.
He smiled lightly, this is neat, heh, it's really interesting. He finished his tea, put down his teacup, and then looked at her. Half Moon didn't see a lot better, and he couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her that day.
On that day, he received the news that she was entangled with several men in black in the Cliff Valley, and he was interested in going to take a look, thinking that she would be useful to him, and that if she died, she would have to be replaced, troublesome. Second, he also wanted to know if her strength and explosiveness could meet his requirements, if not, it would be of little use to him. And she didn't let herself down.
He observed in the dark for most of the hour that day, and saw that she was injured but did not fall down anyway, but became more and more fierce, like a sharp blade that had just been opened. He was surprised what made a woman so persistent, he saw that the blades of those people kept leaving marks on her body, and the red clothes became more and more colorful, and for some reason he was a little moved, wanting to protect her. It's a fleeting feeling, but it's real.
When she got rid of the last person, she couldn't hold it anymore, he thought she had fainted, he just wanted to look forward at her, her body moved, she tried to stand up, but she had no choice but to turn over. She looked at the sky with empty eyes, and for some reason, the rain was still falling, not just tears or rain, sliding from the corners of her eyes, and her expression was very sad. After a while, she finally collapsed, curled up, and cried in a low voice. Slowly she regained her composure, her face became more and more pale, and her expression was so serene that she fainted from exhaustion.
He came to her side and reached out to caress her face, pitying her and admiring her. The inexplicable feeling of confusion came over him, he panicked, and realized that his actions were a little out of shape, and he took his hand away from her face in a helpless way, suppressing the feeling in his heart. He got up and ordered her to be brought back to his house, that she might be brought back to life.
Now that he is angry when he sees her again, the haze that has been stuck in his heart for the past few days has actually dissipated, which makes him feel inexplicably in a good mood. He smiled lightly, poured himself another cup of tea, and refilled it for her.
"Don't worry, your injuries haven't healed, and when you recover, it's not too late to talk about it" He doesn't want a half-dead person, he wants a one-hit hit, and there can be no mistakes at all.
"Since you know who I am, you must know who I am for, no matter what you want me to do, after the deed is done, you and I will be clear." She opened her lips lightly and said unhurriedly
"Heh, Mu Yanxi, you are too mean to your life-saving benefactor." He looked down and smiled.
"Mean? I guess you may be used to being treated with respect to you, and I am not your subordinate, let alone your slave. She chuckled, the person across from her was thinking too much of herself. Even if she is the emperor Lao Tzu, she is just a puppet driven by people. And she owes him the favor, and she pays it back.
"Oh, is it? Perhaps, habit is a bad thing. He was stunned and shook his head, as if he were talking to her and as if he were talking to himself. Somehow, I was a little disappointed to hear her say this.
"My injuries are fine, since you don't say it now, then I'll go, if you think the time is right, come back to me." She ignored him anymore, and turned around and walked away with peace of mind, even if it was a deal, so what's the matter?
"Three days later, take this to Baili City" He grimaced and took out a token.
"Okay" She turned to look at him, thinking for a while, that's it, even if she let her die, she confessed, and besides, her life was stolen in the first place.
——
"Lord, this woman is really unreasonable. If it weren't for the fact that the Lord still needed her to do something, it is estimated that she would be my sword now. "Out of the shadows appeared a woman, with a stunning appearance and an air of arrogance that was easy to see. She was a little angry, the Lord had never been on an equal footing with other women, and even he had been with him for decades. She was jealous of the woman, and since that day the Lord touched her face with his own hand, she longed for her to die there.
"Unreasonable? Qingshuang, you're about to forget who you are. She was right, she was neither my slave nor my subordinate, and there was no need to obey me. There was a chill in his eyes, and his voice was not warm.
"The subordinates don't dare! Please punish the Lord," she knelt down in fear, not daring to raise her head.
"Stand down, don't step into the East Courtyard in the future." He didn't like that there were people coming and going in his yard at will, so no one would come to this yard except during the time of daily maintenance, he was used to being alone.
"Yes!" She was unwilling, he had been alone since she had followed him, and sometimes she thought that it would be nice if someone could be by his side. But this person can never be Mu Yanxi or anyone else, she just hopes that the person next to him is her, as long as there is a place by his side, it is enough.
After Mu Yanxi left the East Courtyard, she came to Hongyan Winery, which was a local area of the Rakshasa Pavilion based on the news and was now her only shelter.
"Miss Mu, why are you so badly injured?" The one who went out to receive was a thin girl named Huanyu.
Huanyu was a little frightened when she saw Mu Yanxi, who was still bleeding from the bandage cut wound all over her body, and hurriedly stepped forward, helped her to rest in the room, and gave her a basin of water and gold sore medicine to change it.
Mu Yanxi didn't reply, her wound collapsed, and the wound was bloody and blurry, but she didn't feel a trace of pain, she was numb.
"Miss Mu, this is a letter from the Zuo Protector" After Huan Yu helped her clean up the wound, he took out the letter from his arms and handed it to her, and walked out of the room with water.
Mu Yanxi opened the letter, her face became more and more cold, she lit the letter, and the fire reflected on her face, which became more and more exciting.
