Chapter 106: Indulgence
The stars and the moon were silent, only a few cicadas chirped in the night sky, which were extremely clear.
Since Feng Xiran left, Mu Qingchen has not come to the Star Picking Tower for a long time, and today he got the news of Ning Chen, and picked the opportunity to come over, but the moment he walked into the underground stone room, he heard an extremely discordant voice:
"HeyβI said, who are you, what are you doing here?"
"Be honest, you don't know that you are wanted outside, right? If you don't obey, we will send you directly to the official yamen. Ning Chen snorted coldly.
"I said, brother, you don't tell me what you brought me to this hellish place, maybe the yamen is not as scary as yours, I can tell you, I am cowardly, if you frighten me, you will not get the bounty even if you hand me over......," the man was still chattering.
"Shut up!" Ning Chen spat out two words from his mouth, his eyes showed a chill, and he swept towards the other party.
He really didn't know what the landlord thought, why did he spend so much effort to save such a chatter, from the moment he brought Sikong Mu to the Star Picking Tower, Sikong Mu kept chattering, and the words in his mouth never stopped.
"Sure enough, it's the strange thief Sikong Mu, when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. Even if he was chased by the court and people from all walks of life, he was still immovable, which was admirable. Qingchen said as he walked in.
"See the landlord. Ning Chen saw that Mu Qingchen was coming, so he bowed his hand.
"Woman, it's you, Woman, I finally saw your true face, so coincidentally, are they your subordinates?" Sikong Mu said with a smile as soon as he saw Mu Qingchen.
"What do you call me?" Mu Qingchen's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked in some surprise.
"I call you a woman! Have you forgotten that when you rescued me from the prison of the palace a few months ago, and said that you needed me to repay the favor, you would naturally look for me. Sikong Mu said with a determined face, ignoring that Ning Chen was still standing by his side, so he got up from the ground and said, "Woman, for the sake of our acquaintance, you can let your subordinates untie me." β
"Untie him. Mu Qingchen commanded Ning Chen, and then spoke, "How can you be so sure that I was the one who rescued you last time?"
Mu Qingchen said as she spoke, looking at herself, she was dressed as a man at this time, and she did not take drugs that changed her voice, which was very different from the black-clothed mask when she rescued Sikong Mu by chance last time, and last time, she deliberately changed her voice.
"As the heir of the thief family, the most important thing is to develop a pair of powerful eyes, and I think that as the leader of the younger generation of the thief family, it is no problem for me to recognize someone. Sikong Mu said proudly, "By the way, Woman, what are you looking for me to do?"
"Can you steal anything?" Mu Qingchen asked.
"That's natural, except for the Emperor's Longchen Palace, which failed once last time. Sikong Mu said.
"What about Ci'an Palace?"
"Ci'an Palace, that's the Empress Dowager's palace, right? Woman, you let me steal the Empress Dowager's things?" Sikong Mu said, "Although you saved me, but such a difficult matter, you ...... to find me."
Sikong Mu's words were not finished, he just looked at Mu Qingchen with a look of "everything is in a word".
"I know your rules, if you can get what I want, I'll give you ten thousand taels. Mu Qingchen immediately understood what he meant, so he smiled and spoke.
"It's only 10,000 taels, I can get 10,000 taels if I go to the court to surrender, this is too little, right?" Sikong Mu was obviously a little disgusted.
"Gold. Qingchen lightly spit out these two words.
"Deal! Woman, you just have to command, what do you want from the Queen Mother? I promise to steal it for you!" Sikong Mu's eyes lit up when he heard the word gold, and he immediately spoke.
Mu Qingchen nodded and said something in Sikong Mu's ear, but saw Sikong Mu's mouth grow in amazement, and he looked at Mu Qingchen in disbelief, looking surprised.
"You heard it right, my subordinates will meet you outside the Auxiliary General's Mansion when the time comes, and after you do this, 10,000 taels of gold is yours, and this can also be a place for you to stay temporarily, hiding from the search of the imperial court and the pursuit of people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, how about it?" Mu Qingchen looked at Sikong Mu for a long time and asked.
I have to say that Mu Qingchen knows how to grasp people's weaknesses, Sikong Mu's love for money is one thing, and the most important thing is that now except for picking up the star building, Sikong Mu has nowhere to stay, for fear of affecting his family, he can't even go back to the Sikong family.
"Death is death, going to Ci'an Palace to be caught, and now going out and being caught is the same end, I might as well gamble!" Sikong Mu said, "When will you do it?"
"Now. Qingchen said, turned his head to look at Ning Chen, and said, "Remember what I said, you go with him." β
Ning Chen nodded, and together with Sikong Mu, he left the Star Picking Tower in the night and headed towards the imperial city. Huai Jin and Zhan Yu, who had been standing behind Mu Qingchen and did not speak, walked in front of Qingchen with a worried face.
"Princess, is this Sikong Mu credible?" Huai Jin was delicate and looked a little worried.
"Xiao Ling and Shen Yuan have become suspicious of me, if I can't do something to divert their attention, they will hold me back, then with Xiao Ling's power, my identity will be exposed sooner or later. Choosing Sikong Mu is just a risky move for me, I believe that people are life-sparing, Xiao Ling uses Sikong Mu as a scapegoat, Sikong Mu will definitely not be caught, otherwise it will not be so easy for me to use. Qingchen said.
"Don't worry, isn't there still the deputy landlord here? With him, he will definitely succeed, let's just wait to see a good show." Compared with Huai Jin's worries, Zhan Yu was full of confidence.
"That woman from the Auxiliary General's Mansion, can you take care of it?" Qingchen seemed to remember something, so he asked.
"That Xueya girl who looks three points similar to the Queen Mother, princess, don't worry, the night hall master has already arranged it, and in the morning of tomorrow, everyone in the entire Auxiliary General's Mansion knows about it, and no one knows about it. Zhanyu nodded and said.
"It doesn't matter if the people in the Auxiliary General's Mansion know it or not, the most important thing is that Xiao Ling and those ministers who care for their lives know. Qingchen said this, his face silent.
It is not easy to find a woman with a similar appearance to Shen Yuan when she was young, and she is obedient and easy to control, and even ambitious, but with the favor of God, she actually let Xingxinglou find this woman called Xueya.
In the past, there was civil strife in Mobei, and the leaders of the thirteen tribes in Mobei competed for supremacy, and a small tribe was involved. The prince of Mobei back then, that is, the current king of Mobei, asked Ning Yue for help, and Duan Hong was ordered by the first emperor to help the prince of Mobei quell the rebellion, and more than 300 people of this small tribe, including the leader, were strangled.
And Xue Ya is the daughter of the leader of this small tribe, who studied medicine with her master and lived in seclusion in the mountains, so she escaped this catastrophe, and now Xue Ya has grown up and learned of her blood debt, so she tried her best to get close to Duan Hong, in order to avenge the murder of her father.
She originally thought that it would be very difficult to get close to Duan Hong, when she pretended to be an orphan girl and begged Duan Hong to take her in, she had already thought that if she didn't succeed, she would become a benevolent, but she didn't expect that Duan Hong not only blamed her for being disturbed, but took good care of her, giving her a chance.
Xue Ya didn't understand why all this was going on, until she followed Duan Hong back to Ningyue Kyoto and saw the portrait in the hand of a man in black, that she knew why Duan Hong looked at her differently, because she looked like Duan Hong's sweetheart, that is, the current Empress Dowager Ningyue, Shen Yuan.
Today's Xue Ya is a special existence in the Auxiliary General's Mansion, because everyone in the mansion knows that General Duan loves Xue Ya very much, but he did not give Xue Ya a name, not a husband and wife or a father and daughter, because everyone didn't know how to call Xue Ya, but respectfully called her "Xue Ya girl".
"Snow Bud, this is the wine you wanted. The maid came in with a flask in her hand and said to Xue Ya.
Xue Ya nodded, let the maid go down, and poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Duan Hong, and then spoke: "General, Xue Ya's parents are dead, lonely and helpless, fortunately the general does not give up, take in Xue Ya, great kindness, Xue Ya has nothing to repay, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, with a glass of thin wine, and a glass of toast to the general." β
"Xue Ya, you asked me to come tonight, just for this matter? You have said these things many times, the hour is not early, it is better to rest early. In Xue Ya's room, Duan Hong said this, and was about to turn around and leave.
"The general doesn't even want to drink Xue Ya's toast?" or do you think Xue Ya is not worthy of toasting the general?" Xue Ya said with retreat.
Duan Hong looked at Xue Ya, helpless for a while, then drank all the wine in his hand, and spoke again: "I've finished drinking the wine, let's rest early." β
"General-" Xue Ya looked at Duan Hong's back as he turned around and wanted to walk out of the door, gritted her teeth, reached out and took off all the clothes on her body, walked behind Duan Hong, wrapped her arms around Duan Hong's waist, and spoke again, "General, you want me......"
When Duan Hong heard this, his heart was shocked, and the soft touch behind him came, which made him a little overwhelmed. In an instant, Duan Hong only felt a burning heat in his body, and turned to look at the unwielding woman standing in front of him, his eyes gradually dyed with a misty look.
"Yuanyuan ......"
muttered in his mouth, finally sighed, picked up the woman in front of him, walked towards the inner room, and then put the woman in his arms on the bed, and suddenly another face appeared in front of him, which was the deepest desire in his heart.
Don't hesitate anymore, bully yourself, linger around your neck, and let the woman in front of you be under you, soft as a pool of spring water.
Xue Ya endured the pain, bearing Duan Hong's sometimes gentle and sometimes rude, her eyes fell on the red candle beside the bed, but she saw that the candle flame was clearly extinguished, swaying.
I don't know how long it took, Duan Hong had fallen asleep because of the medicinal properties of the wine, and Xue Ya struggled to get up, got dressed, and said to the dark part of the room: "Come out-"
