The closer you get to the capital, the higher the temperature gets, but fortunately it's just spring, so it's not too hot. In the distance, the sand dunes were undulating, and camel bells jingled.

Mu Jun and Mu Li stood on the seats in the camel cart, two pairs of delicate little hands lying on the window edge and looking out, unable to speak clearly but always babbling. Qing Xue helped them while pointing to the sand dunes in the distance, and explained all the new scenes to them softly, her face overflowing with laughter.

And Mu Chun decided to look at the appearance of the three of them at the moment, and his mood was also extremely comfortable. Such immature two figures and delicate her always make people want to take care of them in their arms.

He couldn't do it at the moment, but he also knew that day was not far off!

------

Along the way, because Mu Chun's injuries were not yet healed, they did not rush forward, and either rested at the post station at night or stayed in the camp tent on the spot.

Ding Qi followed all the way, because he was not at ease, so he never mentioned the matter of going back, now that the dust has settled, Qingxue will no longer be in any danger, so he chose an opportunity to go to the camp tent to find her to send him back.

Qing Xue saw his expression and knew that something must be wrong, and sent the two children to the queen mother's tent before coming back, while Mu Chun was still outside to explain to the black halberd about the defense of the border city.

"I think it's time for me to go back!" Ding Qi's face was as calm as water, but his heart was full of waves. If you go, you may not see you again.

"Where will you go when you go back? There should be someone watching there, and it would be dangerous to continue to live in it. Or, you can stay! Qing Xue was full of gratitude to him, and there were many indescribable feelings.

Ding Qi smiled indifferently and only said: "I am a modern person, and I should not exist in this world." And ......" Ding Qi paused and didn't say any more.

"All right, but you're going to tell me where you're going? So I can go to you, we're friends, aren't we? ”

Qing Xue wanted to keep him, but she thought that she could still find him when she slept at night anyway, and if he wanted to come, she could bring him again, so she didn't keep him.

"Hmmm! Friend, I'll find a way to tell you when I'm settled. It's just that the thorns may have to stay and you take care of it for me, and it fits here. ”

Ding Qi really couldn't tell her that she had decided to turn herself in, and she wouldn't be able to see him when she went there in the future.

"Good! I'll take care of it for you, but you can come to see it often in the future, or I'll take it to you. ”

"Hmm!" Ding Qi nodded, but his eyes were a little unnaturally evasive. He gave up his life and thorns, but the only thing he felt was the woman in front of him.

------

Qing Xue took a sleeping pill and held it in her hand and lay down on the bed with Ding Qi, holding her other hand with him. This hand is very warm, just like Mu Chun's decision before, it can wrap all her slender little hands, which makes people feel at ease and warm.

Qing Xue put the medicine in her mouth, closed her eyes, and put her hand on the notebook and gun beside her. Just when she touched the barrel of the gun, her heart palpitated inexplicably, she didn't think too much, but the sudden feeling made her a little uneasy, and the medicine in her mouth was not swallowed.

And Ding Qi watched her close her eyes, and his left hand unconsciously stroked towards her face, I don't know if she will be in a hurry to come back later, so every second at this moment is precious.

He looked at her face, affectionate but helpless.

But Mu Chun walked in from outside the account impartially at this moment, and took in the actions of the two people lying on the bed and Ding Qi in his eyes.

Qing Xue had told him about the past, so he could guess that they were going back at this moment. It's just that seeing his little wife lying with another man lying together, the taste in his heart is always a little indescribably sour.

And this man and his little wife came from the same place he didn't know, and had the same body and appearance as he used to be. He could clearly detect Qing Xue's dependence on Ding Qi, and he could also see that Ding Qi was looking at Qing Xue with affection in his eyes at the moment.

And Ding Qi also found Mu Chundu's figure at this time, the hand was still hanging in the air and did not continue, and it was too late to take it back. It's just that there was a little more panic in his heart inexplicably, he opened his mouth to explain, but Mu Chun had already turned around and walked out of the camp.

And Qing Xue closed her eyes and didn't know what was going on, she just tried to suppress the inexplicable panic in her heart, swallowed the medicine, and took him back to that world the moment Ding Qi wanted to wake her up.

------

It's still that street, the night is close, and the occasional car is speeding by, and the sound of the engine is accompanied by the whistling wind.

Qing Xue opened her eyes and saw Ding Qizheng standing on the road looking around, the gun had been put into his pocket, and only the notebook was still in his hand.

Qing Xue knew that he was looking for her, so she reached out and touched his notebook and told him where she was.

Ding Qi is still wearing ancient clothes at the moment, standing in this reinforced concrete city looks particularly eye-catching, fortunately, it is night, no one sees it.

He wanted to tell her about Fang Cai, but swallowed it back the moment he opened his mouth. If she knew, she would definitely go back in a hurry to explain to Mu Chun, then, after this parting, it would be eternal life.

So he still chooses selfish silence.

"Let's go! Go home first, you hold the other end of the notebook and let me know you're still there. Ding Qi held one corner of the notebook, smiled relievedly when he felt the other corner being gently lifted, and walked forward.

These days, Qingxue will go to the hut to clean for him every time she falls asleep, so everything there is tidy again at the moment, but she can't do anything about the broken doors, tables and chairs, so she can only let it go.

Ding Qi entered the door and turned on the light, looked at everything in front of him, and whispered: "Thank you".

This house was specially chosen by him in the past to hide his identity, dilapidated and remote, completely inconspicuous. But at the moment, he felt that this was the most home-like place he had ever lived in his life.

He may not live again in the future, but this is also a place for Qing Xue to live! So he decided to go out tomorrow first and prepare all the things that Qing Xue might need in the future, and then turn himself in.

'What are you thinking?' ’

When he lost his mind, Qing Xue had already written five big characters and held the paper in front of him.

"Nothing! Let me tell you a story! ”

'Hmmm! You say'

"Once upon a time there was a killer who killed a lot of people and had blood on his hands......"

Ding Qi sat on the bed and told Qing Xue about the events of the past few years, and Qing Xue put the pen and paper back on the desk, sat on the chair and listened carefully.

"This killer hasn't slept a single night since he killed the first person, he's killed too many people, and there are many people who want to kill him, do you know the feeling of having to sleep with one eye open? Later, he meets a female ghost ......"

Ding Qi recalled the past sentence by sentence, Qing Xue listened quietly, and took all the sorrow in his heart into his eyes. She understood his helplessness, and never felt that he was a heinous person. In her heart, he is kind, resolute, and responsible, just like her Mu Chun.

After a long time, after Ding Qi stopped, he no longer knew when Qingxue disappeared, he called her a few times melancholy, but only the empty night remained.

When Qingxue woke up, Mu Chunzhu was already lying beside her, and before dawn, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Qing Xue told Mu Chun that Ding Qi had gone back, and Mu Chun only nodded and did not intend to mention last night's incident.

------

The soldiers who were responsible for escorting along the way were all arranged by Geng Qiushan, and the soldiers who were responsible for receiving Chiyun were also on their way.

Zhou Ying died, most of his former subordinates ran away, and the rest were under the orders of his henchman Xu Xunyi, who was not as deep in martial arts as Zhou Ying, but he was still loyal.

During the Chiyun Turmoil, it was he who led the soldiers to guard the safety of the people in the capital, and because of him, the originally scattered military spirit was able to condense.

In addition to him, Prime Minister Zhuge Ming, Shangshu Lord Yang Ye, and Chu Yin's father Chu Taifu also remained in the capital. There are only four other officials below the third rank and above the sixth grade. As for the officials below the sixth rank and those who did not have the qualifications to go to the court, and the prefects and officials in various places were scattered, there was not much left.

However, after this incident, the loyal people are very clearly divided, and those who remain, Mu Chun will definitely entrust them with important tasks, and the remaining vacancies will be filled by others.
