Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 114: Before Leaving
Ling Qingzhu slowly walked away, and Mu Qing looked in the opposite direction with a little confusion.
The sky seemed to have a preference, and it fell to the corner of the road, and the corners of the skirt with jade patterns slowly appeared.
Mu Qing's whole mind just now was on Ling Qingzhu's words, and he didn't know when the beautiful woman had left the front.
He walked over quickly, naturally took her hand, and asked softly, "Are you better?"
Liu Weirui lowered her head and said "um", "I'll send you." ”
She is extremely familiar with every road in her home, so it is not difficult to be able to catch up with Mu Qing. At this time, she didn't look at Mu Qing, and after saying this, she just lowered her head.
She walked slowly, and between the swaying of her thin figure, the jade-colored skirt bloomed slightly, and the small pink flowers on it seemed to have drunk the morning dew, making Tianguang mistake it for truth and follow all the way.
Every time her footsteps fell, the hem of her skirt would be slightly larger, and between the swaying and shading, the watery sky light would be stepped on and splashed again.
Obviously, the girl's steps were slow, but they were also heavy.
It seems that she has responded to what she said to her father in the study, what should be said, and what should be done has been made, so that although she has gone halfway, she has nothing to say.
Mu Qing has obviously opened up a lot recently, feeling the lingering sadness in the beauty, and said to say, "I forgot one thing." ”
"Huh?" Liu Weirui paused, raised her head, and looked at him with wide eyes, her red and swollen eyes made people look particularly distressed.
Mu Qing pinched the other party's cold knuckles, and hurriedly said, "I'm an orphan, so Mu Qing is not my real name, it can only be regarded as a code name I took in the Hidden Valley." ”
"And your name?" Liu Weirui's gaze fell to the corner of the wall, which was a pink-white morning glory that competed for sunlight and moisture from the cracks in the mossy wall, but it was much stronger than her.
Mu Qing's gaze followed her gaze and replied softly, "Ah Liang, kind Liang." ”
"I haven't seen my parents since I can remember, and I don't know what their surnames are or what they look like, but it was Peony's father who raised me until I was six years old, and this nickname was given to me by Uncle Zhang. ”
Liu Weirui's question was very strange, she looked at him and asked, "How many people know?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Only the people closest to me can know." ”
He sighed: "Probably Uncle Zhang hopes that I can be a kind person when I grow up." But who knows how fate will play tricks on the world? When I was six years old, Uncle Zhang died, and Peony and I were captured and taken to the Hidden Valley while we escaped. ”
Mu Qing laughed at himself a little: "I think I am a person who does not do bad things that hurt heaven and reason, but Hidden Valley cultivated me only to kill people, how ironic is this?"
"But. Mu Qing's tone changed abruptly, like the sunlight that suddenly warmed up at a certain moment in this early summer morning, "My first assassin mission was also so bizarre, and now it seems that I have gained a lot. The greatest joy is to meet you. ”
"Do you remember that morning, when you walked out of the bookstore dressed as a man and almost bumped into me?"
Liu Weirui leaned on Mu Qing's body and whispered "um".
Mu Qing said with a smile: "I was still wondering who was ahead of me, you know, because this is my first mission as a fledgling, and I got up early in the morning, but I didn't expect it, heh." ”
Liu Weirui's heavy heart was also pulled up a lot, she blinked and recalled: "That was suggested by Uncle Li Niu, I didn't think about it at the time." ”
Mu Qing nodded and said: "I was in a hurry to prove myself, and I chose a task with high contribution by mistake, and I had a later." ”
Liu Weirui nodded and said, "So let's count it as fate." ”
"Hmm. Mu Qing looked at her eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you better now?"
Liu Weirui was a little moved, her footsteps moved slowly, and she said seriously: "I don't know what's wrong with me, as long as I think of my father's illness and your departure, I'm a little scared......"
Mu Qing sighed silently in his heart, pointed to the morning glory and said: "Just like this morning glory that survives in the cracks, even in the corner of the wall where it is difficult for the sun to shine, it is trying to chase the sun. ”
"It's hard for people to win the day, but after all, it's man-made, so you have to cheer up, when did the girl I like become so depressed and helpless?"
Liu Weirui got into Mu Qing's arms and said "um" in a nasal voice, Mu Qing hugged her in his arms and comforted: "If Uncle Liu's condition is irreparable, then do your best, just have no shame." ”
Liu Weirui's steps were a little firmer, she led Mu Qing to the back door, and said, "I originally hoped that time could pass more slowly, so that you could stay a little longer, but now I feel that it doesn't hurt to be faster, if now becomes the next reunion." ”
"Don't worry, I can adjust it, and you should pay attention to safety when you go out by yourself. ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Weirui said as she lowered her head, and sensitively noticed that the footsteps on her side had stopped.
Mu Qing looked at her gently, and said, "This situation is like a wife sending her husband on a long journey." ”
Liu Weirui raised her water-red eyes that were getting deeper and deeper, stepped forward to tidy up Mu Qing's collar, and said with a serious "um": "Then you remember to come back earlier, husband." ”
The faces of the two were very close to each other, her breath could be smelled, her snort had a faint floral fragrance, her eyebrows were like charming green mountains, Mu Qing could hear her own "bang" heartbeat, and naturally leaned out her arms, hugged the other party's soft waist, lowered her head and kissed the center of her eyebrows, "Let's go, you have to take care." ”
Liu Weirui's tears still fell uncontrollably, she stood on tiptoe slightly, found his warm lips with a slightly cool red lips, and choked up: "You must remember to come to me." ”
"Definitely. ”
"Just stop there. ”
Mu Qing let go of his arm, put the burden behind his back, didn't look back, his steps quickened, and he walked alone towards the slightly hidden door not far away.
A woman's tears are really the most powerful weapon in the world, and it is difficult to find a piece of his heart again, and he does not want to find it.
I am afraid that many years later, when Mu Qing recalls the parting of this early summer morning, thinking of the temperature of this woman's tears, he will only miss this warm and timeless picture very much.
......
......
The south gate of Jinguan City is in sight, and not far ahead, a group of people gather and talk wantonly in the aisle.
Mu Qing frowned slightly, and recognized that those people were the Iron Bone Village bandits who wanted to go all the way back with him.
There are only eighteen people in the Iron Bone Village, and their leader is folded in Ning Chu's hands, and he has also experienced the ambush of Yuejiu in the back, although fortunately it was not their turn to be cannon fodder, but he really lived in fear for a while.
After returning to Jinguan City, although the aftermath of the civil strife in the City Lord's Mansion had not subsided, they relied on the identity of the dart guards hired by the Liu family's caravan, and the life they spent in the past two days was a hundred times more comfortable than in the village before, so that they all looked alive at this time.
If it weren't for the fact that they were now a mess, the new leader would be a good old man who had not offended and did not want to be offended by anyone in the group.
But these bandits are like this, although the big reason can't be explained, but how to elect a new leader and make yourself comfortable is still a little careful in it.
At this time, the leader named Sun Ren now only wanted to complete this errand and return to the village as soon as possible, but he used more attention than the others, and kept paying attention to the streets that were sparsely crowded in the early morning.
When he saw Mu Qing standing a few feet away, he actually used a few percent of his internal force and trotted all the way to Mu Qing, for fear that because of his negligence, he would annoy this master who had finally begged for it.
"Master Mu Qing, oh, no, Lord Mu Qing, are you here too?"
Mu Qingcai eased up a little from parting with the beauty, saw the flattering look on the other party's face, and didn't want to waste his tongue and said: "You can follow me if you want to, after all, your Iron Bone Village sent you to escort the caravan without merit and hard work, but you have to remember for me, you must restrain your subordinates, if it is chaotic, I don't mind killing you and then finding your village master." ”
"I don't think you village owners will be embarrassed by me because of a few of you. ”
Mu Qing frowned and looked at the little leader in front of him who was only a seventh-grade cultivator, and said softly: "I believe you also know that you were selected to escort the caravan, and your own strength is not enough. ”
Sun Ren's face turned red, and he waited until Mu Qing didn't say anything more before he hurriedly shouted: "Lord Mu Qing, this is really wronged, we have come all the way, and we are afraid that He has caused trouble." ”
Mu Qing looked at the group of people who didn't know where they were not far away, and said coldly: "That's because your strength is not enough, it doesn't mean that you don't want to, go and let them be quiet, or you will take them away and go out of the city directly." ”
Sun Ren didn't dare to slack off when he heard Mu Qing's command, and hurriedly went over to restrain those people with Mu Qing's might, and then he trotted all the way over, watching Mu Qing's prophecy stop.
Mu Qing's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and said coldly: "If you have something to say, you can leave the city if you have nothing to do." ”
Sun Ren was a little farther away this time, and said in a slurred manner: "Yesterday we were drinking in the post house restaurant, and somehow a beautiful girl came to the door, and I heard that we were the dart guards who had just escorted the Liu family's caravan back to the city, so they paid a high price for us to escort their mother and daughter. ”
Sun Ren saw that Mu Qing's face had darkened, and hurriedly remedied: "Big, my lord, this is a really high price, there is fifty gold, our brothers in the Iron Bone Village died so many people in the dense forest of the back mountain last time, it sounds good, fifty gold for a person's head, but it will only be pitiful if you have the life to take it and share it." ”
"But this time it's different, escorting two women can get so much. ”
Mu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "So you agreed?"
Sun Ren carefully observed Mu Qing's attitude, and found that Mu Qing did not directly refuse, and was secretly happy in his heart, "I want to come and escort two women to get so much, and the brothers agreed quickly." ”
"But please rest assured, my lord, naturally you take the big head, we take the small head, you six and we four?"
Sun Ren saw that Mu Yue's eyes were slightly twinked, and there was a faint qi emanation on his body, so he hurriedly bowed down and changed his words: "My lord, can you do seven or three of us?"
Sun Ren didn't realize that he had completely misunderstood Mu Qing's attitude, and he was still thinking in his heart about how the eighteen people should divide the fifteen gold.
"Could this be the beginning of the Hidden Valley's conspiracy and calculations? Mu Qing's brows furrowed, while secretly guessing all kinds of possibilities in his heart, he emitted the qi and locked Sun Ren, Sun Ren was pale and sweaty, and then he realized that something was wrong, and he couldn't move.
Mu Qing looked at the people in the Iron Bone Village who were looking at the movement not far away, and asked coldly with squinted eyes: "What is the identity of the so-called mother and daughter, where is the destination, is there any agreement between you, it is better to say it all, I can spare you from dying." ”
"Hey, Brother Sun, why are you waiting for us here?" a slightly familiar voice sounded half a foot behind him.
Mu Qingjian's brows furrowed, and he reined in his qi that was only aimed at Sun Ren.
