On the eighth day of the lunar month, the Majia compound in Jinling.

At this time, it is late at night, the hazy moonlight is like a roller curtain soaked in the spacious courtyard, and a vigorous plum tree is planted in the center of the courtyard, and a cool breeze blows through the courtyard is full of the fragrance of plum blossoms.

This is the most secret forbidden place of the Ma family, without the permission of the big boss Ma Chenggui, anyone who dares to take a step will definitely die.

In the dead of night, a woman's graceful figure quietly emerged under the plum tree, the woman walked very fast, but the steps were extraordinarily light, if it were not for the moonlight reflected on her graceful body, you would not have noticed her existence at all.

She walked straight through the courtyard, came to a room with a golden lock locked the door, stretched out a jade finger and lightly touched the lock, only to hear a slight "snap", this special gold lock was unlocked, the woman did not hesitate to open the door, and looked into the house in the hazy moonlight, it was empty.

It's really strange, why is the empty room listed as a forbidden place by the Ma family? And lock it with a special gold lock?

The woman walked into the house, looked left and right, her eyes flashed a trace of confusion, as if she did not expect that there would be nothing here, she suddenly turned around, I don't know when there was a figure in the courtyard slowly walking, when this person approached the door, the woman saw this person's face clearly, and recognized this person as Ma Chengkong, the only son of the big boss Ma Chenggui.

The woman took two steps closer, and the moonlight appeared on her face with a charming and enchanting face, this is a face that any man will be tempted to see it, Ma Chengkong will naturally not be an exception, a trace of obsession flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting, leaving only dullness and helplessness.

The woman stroked the long hair in her ear, without the slightest panic, and smiled a little mischievously: "You seem to know that I will come now?" ”

Ma Chengkong nodded slightly, with a silver knife hanging from his waist, his two fingers were pinching the handle of the knife, and said calmly: "From the moment you stepped into Ma's house, I already recognized who you were." ”

The woman smiled even more and asked, "Why did you let me in when you already know me?" ”

"Because I'm wondering if you're really in it for that."

"So now that you know, what should you do?"

Ma Chengkong didn't answer, the two fingers of his left hand exerted force, the silver knife was slowly pulled out of the scabbard, he pinched the blade with his other hand, and the bright silver blade reflected the woman's face in the moonlight, which was the Kyaukyue knife used by his father Ma Chenggui.

It was also the first time the woman had seen this knife with her own eyes, and she unconsciously held her breath and stared at it tightly, blurting out: "This is the bright moon used by your father?" ”

Ma Chengkong let go of his right hand and flicked his index finger on the blade of the knife slightly, and the crisp sound of "ding" echoed in the courtyard, which was amazing.

Whoever trespasses on the forbidden land of the horse family will die here, and he promised his father that he would keep this promise with his life.

The woman sighed and said, "Since you already know who I am, you should know that if I want to leave, no one can leave me." ”

Ma Chengkong nodded in agreement, and said lightly: "If you want to leave, I naturally can't keep you, so I don't plan to waste my efforts." ”

The woman looked at the knife in his hand and smiled, "You said so, but you pulled out the knife again." ”

Ma Chengkong said: "I can't keep my promise to my father, and I have no face to live in the world, so I have to use my father's knife to cut myself." ”

The woman's smile stopped suddenly, and she said with some doubts: "If you can't keep me, I'm going to kill myself?" But what I want to take is not yet available, and you can still stop me. ”

Ma Chengkong sighed deeply and asked rhetorically: "When did you miss what Mu Qinghong wanted?" ”

The woman was silent, Ma Chengkong looked at her carefully, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world says that Mu Qinghong is not only extremely light and skillful, but also a person who is extremely proficient in the art of disguise, I don't know if your current face is your original appearance or disguise?" ”

The woman also sighed lightly, stretched out her hand and brushed it slightly on her face, and the charming woman's face turned into a beautiful man, he winked at Ma Chengkong mischievously, his voice also turned neutral, and asked with a smile: "Do you guess what I look like now, is it my true appearance?" ”

Ma Chengkong looked at it stupidly, and asked rhetorically: "If this is your true appearance, then are you a man or a woman?" ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "Of course I am a man, and I don't mind that others compare me to a woman." ”

Ma Chengkong said: "But your current appearance is much more beautiful than any woman I have ever seen." ”

Mu Qinghong held his forehead a little helplessly: "So I rarely use my face, there are not many people who have seen my appearance, only a few." ”

A cold wind blew in the courtyard, Ma Chengkong came back to his senses, took out a wooden box from his arms, and said, "The things you want are here, and I have always carried them with me." ”

Mu Qinghong nodded, not surprised: "I know, I also know that you will follow, the only thing I didn't expect is that this place was actually emptied by you." ”

Ma Chengkong actually threw the wooden box to Mu Qinghong, and then said: "Now that you have got what you want to take, you can leave immediately, and no one will stop you." ”

Mu Qinghong caught the wooden box and did not open it, but asked Ma Chengkong: "Is it that as soon as I leave, you will immediately cut yourself?" ”

Ma Chengkong said: "Not bad." ”

Mu Qinghong said: "If I return this thing to you, do you still want to die?" ”

Ma Chengkong hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "Since you have broken into the forbidden land, whether the things are taken away by you or not, I am a capital crime." ”

Mu Qinghong frowned, pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and asked, "What if I return the things to you, and I will also be at your disposal?" ”

Ma Chengkong stared at Mu Qinghong without opening his mouth, of course he wouldn't believe that Mu Qinghong would easily give up what he wanted, but he was just curious why Mu Qinghong said these words.

Mu Qinghong saw that he didn't answer, but sat directly on the ground, threw the wooden box in his hand back to Ma Chengkong, and said with a smile: "I suddenly don't want this thing, and people are also in your hands, if you want to kill or chop it, it's up to you." ”

Ma Chengkong hurriedly took the wooden box, his eyes showed deep surprise, and he asked very puzzled: "What are you going to do here?" ”

Mu Qinghong said: "It's very simple, I'm going to steal this thing, and you gave this thing to me for nothing, this trip has been a failure for me." ”

Ma Chengkong said: "But you can still leave, no one can catch up with your light skills." ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "Like you, I also made a promise to someone that if someone is caught stealing something, he must be disposed of." ”

Ma Chengkong was stunned, then burst out laughing, and said after laughing: "I'm not a fool, you just don't want me to make up this reason to fool me, I don't believe that you will obediently let me deal with it." ”

Mu Qinghong didn't speak, still with a smile on his face, lying on the ground with his arm quietly looking at the bright full moon outside the house, Ma Chengkong silently put away the knife, slowly walked into the house, sat next to Mu Qinghong and whispered: "Mu Qinghong, why don't you want me to die?" ”

Mu Qinghong said: "Because you don't deserve to die, you and your father Ma Chenggui are both kind people, and you shouldn't give up your life easily." ”

Ma Chengkong was very surprised, and said casually: "It's hard for me to imagine that this sentence will come out of Mu Qinghong's mouth, you are very different from the rumored Mu Qinghong in the rivers and lakes." ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "What do you say about me in the rivers and lakes? Do you mean I'm a cold-blooded and ruthless person? ”

Ma Chengkong rubbed his mouth, but still didn't say anything, Mu Qinghong didn't ask, but said with a smile: "I only believe what I saw with my own eyes, I have hidden in the Ma family these days and seen you do a lot of good deeds, so I don't want you to die." ”

Ma Chengkong's hand holding the wooden box squeezed tightly, his tone was slightly desolate, and he sighed: "What's the use of you not wanting me to die?" Whether you take this thing with you today or not, I'm going to die. ”

Mu Qinghong frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Ma Chengkong suddenly picked up the wooden box and opened it in front of Mu Qinghong, but the wooden box was empty, and there was nothing.

Mu Qinghong froze, sat up violently and snatched the wooden box to look through it carefully, and asked, "What about the contents inside?" ”

Ma Chengkong said: "Before you came, the contents of the box had been lost. ”

Mu Qinghong said: "When did you find out?" What was originally in this wooden box? ”

Ma Chengkong said: "You came to steal this thing, but you don't know what this thing is?" ”

Mu Qinghong nodded, Ma Chengkong shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Not only do I know that you are coming, but I also know that the old man asked you to come and get this thing, and if he can't get what he wants, he will definitely want me to die." ”

Old man......

Hearing Ma Chengkong say this name, Mu Qinghong glanced at Ma Chengkong with deep meaning and said, "You seem to know everything." ”

Ma Chengkong chuckled, closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of plum blossoms in the courtyard, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you want to know, what should be in the box?" ”

Mu Qinghong's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, he turned his head to stare at Ma Chengkong, and his tone unconsciously became a little heavier: "I don't want to know, you must not say it now, otherwise I can only kill you immediately." ”

Ma Chengkong said: "Do you want to know, or don't dare?" ”

Mu Qinghong said: "I don't want to, I don't dare, you'd better not say anything more." ”

Mu Qinghong's tone was very serious, even the fragrance of flowers blowing from outside the house was filled with a murderous aura, as long as Ma Chengkong dared to reveal a word, there was no doubt that he would take action immediately, although he didn't want to make a move on Ma Chengkong.

Ma Chengkong kept his mouth shut, he was not afraid that Mu Qinghong would make a move on him, and he was worried that Mu Qinghong would be implicated, he knew very well what was supposed to be in the wooden box, it was enough to shake the entire rivers and lakes, and knowing that it was a bad thing.

Seeing that Ma Chengkong didn't say anything more, Mu Qinghong gave Ma Chengkong a grateful look, the relationship between men is so simple and simple, they can become enemies in a short time, or they can easily become friends with tacit understanding, Mu Qinghong and Ma Chengkong are such examples.

Mu Qinghong slowly got up, took a few steps forward, his whole body was bathed in the dim moonlight, and whispered to Ma Chengkong behind him: "I hope that after I leave, you can live for some time." ”

Ma Chengkong looked at his back and said, "I have no reason to continue living. ”

"What if I could find out your father's whereabouts?"
