In the evening, Mu Qingyun estimated that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to Su Peiqing and left.

He didn't go far after going out, he found three disciples of the Cangluan Sect, and after a few words, he returned to Tingzhuju with them.

In the small courtyard, Liu Xiyue and a few others seemed to have just arrived, and after a while, other disciples also arrived one after another.

The disciples gathered together and asked each other what they had gained.

As Mu Qingyun expected, they all made no progress, and Elder Yunxi didn't care about it, but they didn't talk about the food and novelties in the city after a while.

At dinner, he only ate a few bites casually, chatted with Su Peiqing for an afternoon, and filled his stomach with refreshments alone.

After the meal, Elder Yun Xi called everyone to her side, her expression became more serious, and she began to explain tonight's events.

At the end, she instructed again: "Elder Yunxiang and I will always keep an eye on the movements of each location, and if that Bai Wuchang appears again, it is best to signal us without alarming him." His cultivation is extremely high and he is a person with a status in the Hall of Life and Death, and it will be a scourge to keep it after all, if it is possible, Elder Yunxiang and I will take this opportunity to kill him. You must not be impulsive, try to restrain your breath, and obey the command of the leader I have picked, understand? ”

"Yes, the disciple obeys the elder's instructions. ”

All the disciples replied in unison.

Seeing that the two elders didn't have anything to explain, Liu Xiyue said, "Then the disciples will go and prepare." ”

"Well, you go down and set off when the time comes. ”

Back in his room, Mu Qingyun sighed helplessly, Elder Yunxi really didn't treat him as an outsider, he picked him out and led a team first, and now he could only hope that Bai Wuchang would not appear on his side.

Sitting on the bed, his eyes fell on the cloth bag next to him, he thought about it and opened it.

"Bought quite a lot on a whim, huh...... In the Cangluan faction, they have also received a lot of care from Liu Xiyue and Wu Xuanyu, so it is better to take two things for them. ”

After deciding, he took out a bamboo kite and a string of bracelets from it and went out.

Arriving on the second floor, he walked to the room at the end, looked around, and knocked lightly.

The door opened, and Liu Xiyue was a little surprised when she saw that it was Mu Qingyun, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Mu, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just that I passed by a stall earlier and saw some gadgets, so I bought some and planned to give them to you. Mu Qingyun said with a smile.

"Ah...... Why should Senior Brother Mu be so polite, it's really a shame to let Senior Brother Mu break the bank, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?" Liu Xiyue smiled embarrassedly.

"Nope. As he spoke, he handed her the bamboo kite and said, "I won't pick anything, but I will buy it when I see a good one, which can be regarded as a thank you for Senior Sister Liu's care over time." ”

Liu Xiyue took the bamboo kite, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, looking like it.

"This little bird is finely made, and its eyes are made of small black beans, hehe, thank you Senior Brother Mu. ”

"Then I won't bother Senior Sister Liu. ”

As he spoke, Mu Qingyun turned around to leave, and at this moment he seemed to see a corner of white clothes dangling at the entrance of the building.

Just as he was about to leave, Liu Xiyue stopped him.

"Senior Brother Mu must have prepared a gift for Senior Sister Xuanyu as well, right?"

Mu Qingyun nodded and said, "Naturally, only a few of you can be called friends in the Cangluan Sect. ”

"Indeed, Senior Sister Xuanyu and you are ...... on weekdays."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, and in Mu Qingyun's puzzled eyes, she laughed softly as if she suddenly realized.

"Looks like my mind hasn't turned for a while. ”

Mu Qingyun was puzzled, and didn't know why she was here, so she said, "Senior Sister Liu, what are you...... What's wrong?"

"For a moment, Senior Brother Mu, please forgive me, I won't delay you to find Senior Sister Xuanyu, she likes these small and cute things the most. ”

"Ah......h

Wu Xuanyu's room was on the third floor, and Mu Qingyun knocked on the door for a while but there was no movement.

Maybe she's out, so I'll find another chance to send her later.

After thinking about it, he went back to his room.

......

The time soon came.

Mu Qingyun came to the courtyard of the two elders, and saw that Wu Xuanyu was already waiting in the courtyard.

"Sister dancer, you're here so early. Mu Qingyun smiled and walked towards her.

When Wu Xuanyu saw him, she smiled and said, "I'm just walking outside if I have nothing to do, but I've just arrived for a while." ”

"By the way, sister dancer, I ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a 'creaking' sound.

The two elders came over, Mu Qingyun had to give up, it was not appropriate to send it out in front of her elders after all, anyway, it was not about to say goodbye immediately, so wait a little longer.

After the disciples arrived, Elder Yunxi said a few more words, and then everyone divided into five teams to go to their respective hiding places according to the prior arrangement.

Not far from a house in the east of the city, as Lin Zhutou said, there were gun-wielding soldiers around the courtyard, perhaps because of Master Bao, the case was highly valued by the imperial court, and they did not dare to slack off.

Mu Qingyun said to the two disciples: "I'll go up and keep an eye on it, there are two senior sisters around me, try to hide in a place where I can notice, if I find it, I will make arrangements." ”

"Well, good. ”

"Senior Brother Namu will bother a lot. ”

After that, the three of them went into hiding.

Mu Qingyun waited quietly on a relatively secluded and gloomy rooftop, all he could pay attention to was the rooftop, the courtyard, and the soldiers.

......

The early spring night was bitterly cold.

The soldiers below, even though they were physically strong, could not withstand the cold that penetrated into their armor, and they moved their bodies in place, occasionally whispering a few words, and the previously heavily guarded atmosphere was relaxed for a moment.

By this time, it was already late at night, and the streets and alleys that were still crowded with people during the day were empty. In addition to the red lanterns hanging on the high walls on all sides, there were only two iron basins supported by wooden frames at the gate of the city that burned with fire, and the dark night was like a heavy cloth, enveloping the huge Shangliang City.

Cold and silence are intertwined.

He looked at the two female disciples below, only to see one person in the dark looking at the sky in a daze, and the other simply meditated on the spot, obviously they couldn't be idle.

I'm afraid that the time is about to pass, why hasn't there been any movement, could it be that they have noticed it? But it seems to be possible...... He looked down at his dazzling white clothes.

But if that's the case, it's fine, it's better to sit all night without danger than to fight to the death with the devil, anyway, tomorrow will continue to go to the top of the five Buddhas.

The cold wind blew gently, and a faint but teasing fragrance entered his nose.

The petals of the flower that came from nowhere and caught it on his face.

Before he could erase it, a snow-white slender hand had been gently removed for him.

"Why are you here?" he exclaimed.

Fortunately, he was not loud and did not alarm the people below.

Su Peiqing sat beside her for some time, her red lips with a slightly soft smile, and her watery eyes seemed to have a slight taste of pride and cunning.

"Scared?"

"It's natural!" Mu Qingyun said with a frown. Who wouldn't be frightened by the sudden arrival of this big night, and for a while, the beating heart of 'Dong Dong' was slowed down.

He looked at her next to his body and asked, "I don't know when you came, Senior Sister Su." ”

"It's been about half an hour. ”

She painted crimson eyeshadow, and the corners of her eyes were slightly outlined, highlighting her cold beauty, but at the moment, she tilted her head and counted her fingers, which added a little innocent charm.

Mu Qingyun couldn't help but think of Wu Xuanyu, and then, he asked in surprise: "Half an hour, I didn't even notice in the slightest, is Senior Sister lying to me?" ”

She lazily stretched out her legs that had been curled up, and the calves and ankles slightly exposed in the long black hem were as white as jade lotus.

"You've been staring over there, so you haven't noticed me. Her tone seemed to be a little complaining, and then she asked with a serious expression: "The officers and soldiers below are guarding, you have been sitting here and waiting for half the day, could it be that you are the flower thief who has spread all over the city recently?"

"I didn't expect to be discovered by you so easily. Mu Qingyun looked at her coldly.

"Ah, I am in such a dangerous situation, then I should flee immediately...... Or do you want to leave it to your fate and let the king punish you?"

"There is a third option, if you will distract the next guard for me, I will take an extra handsome man and give you as a thank you. ”

Seeing him cooperate so seriously, she couldn't help but laugh again.

"It turns out that the junior brother is an interesting person. ”

"Why is Senior Sister Su here? It's a dead night, if you go out for a walk, you won't climb so high. ”

Su Peiqing's beautiful eyes lit up and said, "Do I look like a bad guy in the eyes of my junior brother?"

Mu Qingyun smiled and said, "It's just curious." ”

"That sister is not lying to you, I have heard that babies are stolen every night in this city, especially in the last two days, and I always feel that something is wrong, since I can't sleep for a while, I just come out and walk around. What about the junior brother, the night is dark and the wind is high, I don't know why you are sitting here?"

"In this way, it seems that Senior Sister Su's purpose is the same as mine. I remember telling my senior sister in the afternoon that I was going to the top of the Five Buddhas with the disciples of the Cangluan faction. Mu Qingyun looked at her with a smile, and continued: "After hearing this morning, the elder suspected that it was the people of the Hall of Life and Death who did it, so he ordered me to be guarded in five places tonight. ”

Su Peiqing asked puzzledly, "I know the Hall of Life and Death, why do you doubt them?"

Mu Qingyun saw that she didn't seem to know the details, so he told her a few clues.

"I see. She nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, the afterglow of Mu Qingyun's eyes suddenly felt a little light, and he subconsciously looked at it.

In the distance, the flames soared into the sky.

"A fire?" he said in surprise.

Before the words fell, I saw that there were three places in the city in succession, and raging fires rose in succession.

"What's going on. He sensed something was wrong and immediately stood up.

The next soldiers also saw the fire, and they began to agitate.

Su Peiqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "It's really a clumsy technique, but I'm afraid it will be unexpectedly useful." ”
