09 | Knowing what to do, go deeper

On the note, eight words were written in blood: Up and down the Qin Mansion, not a single one is left.

"Do you see clearly, who sent the housekeeper back?" Qin Hanmu crumpled the note into a ball.

Cui Mu shook his head: "I heard from the guards at the door that a large black mist shrouded the front yard just now, and they had never seen such a scene, so they went to inform the last general." By the time the last general arrived, it was already ...... That's what it looks like. ”

Qin Hanmu frowned, pondering Cui Mu's words in his heart.

"Black mist......" Qin Hanmu muttered.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Shangguan Miao beside him, and she seemed to have expected him to look over, and was quietly waiting for his gaze, a pair of eyes as still as water, the ancient well did not wave.

"Don't be afraid." "Whatever happens, I'll be there," he said softly and firmly. ”

……

……

"Why am I afraid?" The demon's mouth was stuffed with sweet and soft osmanthus cake, and he asked vaguely.

"Because where we're going to go later, there may be some unexpected phenomena." Pu Jia is carefully worded.

"Unexpected?" The demon swallowed the osmanthus cake in his mouth, and unhurriedly took a sip of the secret osmanthus porridge made by the shop, "People like me who have experienced strong winds and waves, no, demons, what unexpected phenomena can scare me?" ”

The demon forced herself to turn her attention to the food, so that she could not think about the broken sleeves of Pujia and Mu Yu, so that she said it casually without thinking about what she said just now.

After finishing speaking, she came back to her senses, and she didn't seem to have spoken to Pu Jia in such a tone before.

As soon as he thought of this, the demon secretly glanced at Pu Jia's expression through the constant heat on the porridge bowl. Simply, Pu Jia didn't seem to notice the change in her tone, and raised her hand to get herself an osmanthus cake.

The demon breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and took another sip of porridge.

However, what happened in the next moment made the demon almost full of rice.

Pu Jia actually took the osmanthus cake to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu accepted it gladly and smiled at him.

Mu Yupi looked at Pu Jia with a smile, although he was extremely reluctant, but when he caught a glimpse of sitting at the opposite table, he was secretly looking at the two of them through the mist above the porridge bowl, and he silently thought in his heart: "Mu Yu, Mu Yu, isn't it just an osmanthus cake, you just pretend that the demon gave it to you, isn't it?" ”

Thinking about it like this, Mu Yu felt a lot more relieved in his heart, as long as it seemed to the demon that he and Pu Jia were getting along, he would sacrifice some of them, and he would not hesitate to do so.

As the saying goes, the play has to be done in a full set, so Mu Yu simply didn't do it, picked up another piece of osmanthus cake, and handed it to Pu Jia with a smile.

The demon silently stretched out his hand, pitifully grabbed the last remaining piece of osmanthus cake on the plate, and ate it himself without saying a word.

She took one bite after another, biting heavily on the osmanthus cake, as if this osmanthus cake had a deep hatred with her.

……

……

What kind of hatred breeds such an evil and resentful heart?

Shangguan Miao really couldn't understand that the master who once took her out of the pile of the dead, the master who raised her from childhood to adulthood and gave her all the skills, turned out to be such a ruthless man who didn't miss the old love.

In that year, there was a famine in Heze County in the north of Jiangzhou, and the barbarians suddenly went south, burning, killing and looting in the city, and did all kinds of evil, and the entire Heze County was instantly reduced to purgatory on earth.

Even those who escaped from the city did not run far, starving to death, being hacked to death by the pursuing soldiers, and being killed and eaten by hungry companions taking advantage of the night, and the entire northern border of Jiangzhou was full of corpses.

Shangguan Miao's parents died on the way to escape, and if it hadn't been for the master's adoption of her, she would probably have not starved to death or frozen to death, and would have been eaten alive by people passing by.

It was precisely because of this incident that the later Qin Han Mulian broke the twelve counties of barbarianism.

At that time, Qin Hanmu, who went out with his father, was only sixteen years old and was a young general.

He brought his father's sixteen-year-old coming-of-age gift to him - a battalion of 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, and gave a great gift to the barbarians.

When he wore heavy iron armor and led 3,000 cavalry to bypass the main force advancing along the entire line of the barbarians, and appeared in the county a hundred miles away from the enemy's rear, the other party's general was still immersed in the gentle countryside of the beauty.

After he broke the city, he retreated with one blow. Always by surprise, in the weakest part of the Barbarian defense. After successive battles, the barbarian khan had to send envoys, pay money and cede land, and made an agreement with Jiangzhou not to go south for a hundred years.

At this point, this young general, who was not yet in iron armor at that time, became a god in World War I and became a god of war in the hearts of the people of Jiangzhou.

It was also because of this incident that Shangguan Miao Miao regarded him as the biggest dream in his heart since he was a child. She practiced diligently every day, just so that one day, she could stand at the same height as him, and she could look him in the eye and tell him: Hero, I like you.

For his master, Shangguan Miaomiao has always obeyed his words, because his life was given by his master.

So even if the master asked her to join the Drunken Dream Hall and become a joker every day, she didn't complain at all.

Until one day, the master found her: "Apprentice, do you know why the master adopted you in the first place?" ”

She shook her head.

"Do you remember what Master once told you about what is the biggest problem for people who practice ghost qi?" He asked.

"Remember, the ghost qi is too cold and resentful, and the longer you practice the ghost qi, the stronger the backlash will be." Shangguan Miao said respectfully.

"Clever in vain." Her master laughed sadly, "If Master tells you that there is a way to solve this kind of backlash, are you willing to help Master?" ”

"In vain." Shangguan said misty.

"......Boom," he laughed a few more times, before continuing, "I knew the apprentice was willing. ”

"Please also tell the master how to do it." Shangguan Miao asked.

"No hurry, you'll find out someday."

Later, she saw the person she was thinking of from afar on the white causeway.

Later, she laughed with him, and he said goodbye in a hurry.

Since then, almost every day, she has found a secluded place nearby and waited quietly.

At that time, even she didn't know what she was waiting for. It wasn't until a few days later, when she saw Qin Hanmu passing by again, that she finally understood that what she was waiting for was just a hurried glance when she looked at him.

After that day, Qin Hanmu would pass by here every day, stopping where she had stopped.

Finally, one day, she could no longer restrain the emotions in her heart, so she walked up behind him and patted him lightly on the head.
