Ling Qingzhu slowly walked away, and Mu Qing looked in the opposite direction with confusion.
The skylight seems to have a preference, as it goes to the corner of the road, and the corners of a skirt with jade patterns are slowly revealed.
Mu Qing's entire mind just now was focused on Ling Qingzhu's words, and he didn't know when the beauty walked in front.
He walked over quickly, held her hand naturally, and asked softly: "Are you feeling better?"
Liu Weirui lowered her head and said "hmm", "I'll give it to you."
She is extremely familiar with every road in her home, so it is not difficult to stay ahead of Mu Qing. At this time, she didn't look at Mu Qing. After saying this, she just lowered her head and walked.
She walked slowly, and as her thin figure swayed, the emerald-colored skirt bloomed slightly, and the pink flowers on it seemed to have drunk the morning dew, making the sky mistakenly follow her all the way.
Every time her footsteps fell, the hem of her skirt would become slightly wider, and as it swayed and blocked, the watery skylight would splash out again.
It was obvious that although the girl's steps were slow, they were also heavy.
It seemed that in response to what she said to her father in the study, what should be said was said, and what agreements should be made were made, so that even though they were halfway through, they were speechless.
Mu Qing has obviously become more enlightened recently. Feeling the lingering sadness in the beauty, he found something to say and said, "I forgot one thing."
"Huh?" Liu Weirui paused, raised her head, and looked at him with wide eyes. The red and swollen eyes made people feel particularly distressed.
Mu Qing pinched the other person's cold knuckles and said quickly, "I am an orphan, so Mu Qing is not my real name. It can only be regarded as the code name I took in Hidden Valley."
"What's your name?" Liu Weirui's eyes fell on the corner of the wall. It was a pink and white morning glory competing for sunlight and moisture from the moss-covered cracks in the wall. It was much stronger than her.
Mu Qing followed her gaze and replied softly: "Ah Liang, kind-hearted Liang."
"I have never seen my parents since I can remember, let alone their last names and what they look like. It was Shaoyao's father who raised me until I was six years old. Uncle Zhang gave me this nickname."
Liu Weirui's question was very strange. She looked at him and asked, "How many people know about it?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Only the people closest to me can know."
He sighed: "Maybe Uncle Zhang hopes that I can be a kind person when I grow up. But who knows how fate will play with the world? When I was six years old, Uncle Zhang died, and Shaoyao and I were together. He was captured while escaping and taken to Hidden Valley.”
Mu Qing laughed at himself: "I consider myself a person who doesn't do bad things that are harmful to nature, but Hidden Valley only trained me to kill people. How ironic is this?"
"But." Mu Qing's tone suddenly changed, just like the sunlight that suddenly became warm 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 biggest My greatest joy is meeting you."
"Do you still remember that morning? You walked out of the bookstore disguised as a man and almost bumped into me?"
Liu Weirui leaned against Mu Qing's body and whispered "Hmm".
Mu Qing said with a smile: "I was still wondering who was ahead of me. You know, because this can be regarded as my first task as a fledgling, and I got up so early, I didn't expect it, haha."
Liu Weirui's heavy mood was also lifted a lot. She blinked and recalled, "That was what Uncle Li Niu suggested. I didn't take it seriously at the time."
Mu Qing nodded and said: "I was eager to prove myself, and by mistake, I chose a task with high contribution, and that's how I became."
Liu Weirui nodded and said, "So let's call it fate."
"Yes." Mu Qing saw her eyes clearing a little, and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better now?"
Liu Weirui was a little moved, and started to move slowly again, and said seriously: "I don't know what's wrong with me. Whenever I think of my father's illness and your departure, I feel 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 where there is little sunlight, it still tries its best to chase after it. Sunlight."
"It's difficult for man to conquer nature, but in the end it all depends on man-made things, so you have to cheer up. When did the girl I like become so melancholy and helpless?"
Liu Weirui got into Mu Qing's arms and said "Hmm" with a nasal voice. Mu Qing hugged her and comforted her: "If Uncle Liu's condition is irreversible, then do your best and do it without any guilt."
Liu Weirui's footsteps became firmer. She led Mu Qing to the back door and said, "I originally hoped that time would pass slower so that you could stay longer, but now I feel that it doesn't matter if it goes faster. It’s become a great time to get together next time.”
"Don't worry, I can adjust it. You should also pay attention to safety when you go out."
"What's wrong?" Liu Weirui lowered her head and said, sensitively noticing that the footsteps beside her stopped.
Mu Qing tilted her handsome face slightly, looked at her tenderly and said, "This situation is like a wife sending her husband off for a long journey."
Liu Weirui raised her misty red eyes, stepped forward to straighten Mu Qing's collar, and said with a serious "hmm": "Then please remember to come back early, husband."
Their faces were so close that they could smell their breath. Her breath had a faint scent of flowers, and her eyebrows were like charming green hills. Mu Qing could hear her own "bang bang" heartbeat, and it was so natural. He stretched out his arms, hugged the other person's soft waist, lowered his head and kissed the center of his eyebrows, "Let's go, take care of yourself."
Liu Weirui's tears still fell uncontrollably. She stood on her tiptoes slightly, touched his warm lips with her cool red lips, and choked out: "You must remember to come to me."
"must."
"Let's stop there."
Mu Qing loosened his arms and slung the bundle behind his back. Without looking back, he quickened his pace and walked alone towards the slightly ajar door not far away.
A woman's tears are really the most powerful weapon in the world. If a piece of his heart is chopped off, it will be hard to get it back, and he doesn't want to get it back.
I'm afraid that many years later, when Mu Qing recalls this early summer morning parting, and the warmth of this woman's tears, she will only miss this warm and meaningful scene.
…
…
Looking at the south gate of Jinguan City, not far ahead, a group of people gathered on the walkway chatting.
Mu Qing frowned slightly and recognized that those people were the bandits from Iron Bone Village who wanted to go back with him.
There are only eighteen people in Tieguguzhai now. Their leader was killed by Ning Chu, and they also experienced Yue Jiu's ambush later. Although luckily it was not their turn to be cannon fodder, they lived in fear for a while. day.
After returning to Jinguan City, although the aftermath of the civil strife in the city lord's palace has not subsided, as the escorts hired by the Liu family's caravan, they lived a hundred times more comfortable in the past two days than in the stockade, so much so that they were all here. He always seemed lively and energetic.
If they hadn't been in disarray now, the new leader would have been a good old man who had not offended anyone in the group and did not want to offend anyone. If someone stronger came along, he might not be happy to go home. .
But these bandits are like this. Although they can't explain the rationale, they still have some thoughts on how to elect a new leader to make themselves comfortable.
At this time, the leader named Sun Ren only wanted to complete this errand and return to the village as soon as possible. However, he paid more attention than the others and kept paying attention to the streets with less traffic in the early morning.
When he saw Mu Qing standing a few feet away, he actually used up a few percent of his inner strength to trot all the way to Mu Qing, fearing that he would offend this fellow expert who had finally found him through his indifference.
"Master Mu Qing, oh, no, Master Mu Qing, are you here too?"
Mu Qing just recovered from the feeling of parting with his beautiful lady. Seeing the flattering look on her face, he didn't want to waste his words and said: "You can follow me if you want. After all, your Iron Bone Village sent you to escort the caravan without any merit." It’s hard work, but remember, you must restrain your subordinates. If you act recklessly, I don’t mind killing you and then looking for your village leader.”
"I don't think your village master will embarrass me just because of you."
Mu Qing frowned and looked at the little leader in front of him who was only at the seventh level of cultivation, and said softly: "I believe you also know that you were selected to escort the caravan, and you are not strong enough. To put it bluntly, you can't be cannon fodder. Since you are cannon fodder, you must be cannon fodder." Be a cannon fodder and don’t go around causing trouble just because I’m here.”
Sun Ren's face turned red. He waited until Mu Qing said nothing more, and then he quickly shouted: "Master Mu Qing, this is really unjust. We have never caused any trouble along the way."
Mu Qing looked at the group of people not far away who were acting wildly and had no idea where they were, and said in a cold voice: "That's just because you are not strong enough. It doesn't mean you don't want to. Go and make them quiet. You should take them away and leave the city directly." .”
Sun Ren did not dare to neglect after hearing Mu Qing's instructions. He quickly went over and used Mu Qing's power to restrain those people. Then he trotted over and stopped watching Mu Qing's prophecy.
Mu Qing raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said in a cold voice: "If you have something to say, you can leave the city if you have nothing to do."
Sun Ren stayed a little further away this time and said hesitantly: "Yesterday we were drinking in the Inn Restaurant, and for some reason a beautiful woman came to our door. They heard that we were escorts who had just escorted the Liu family's caravan back to the city. The escort paid a high price and allowed us to escort the mother and daughter as well."
Sun Ren saw that Mu Qing's face had darkened, and he quickly said, "Sir, this is a really high price, a full fifty gold. Our brother from Tiegugu Village died in the dense forest of the back mountain last time. There are many people, to put it nicely, each person has fifty gold, but if he has the destiny to take it and divide it, it will only be a pitiful amount."
"But this time it's different. You can get so much by escorting two women."
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 refuse directly. He was secretly happy in his heart, "I thought I could get so much by escorting two women, so the brothers agreed immediately."
"But please don't worry, sir. Of course you will take the big head and we will take the small head. You are six and we are four?"
Sun Ren saw Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint air of energy emanating from his body. He quickly bowed and changed his words: "Sir, can you and us together?"
Sun Ren didn't realize that he had completely misunderstood Mu Qing's attitude, and was still thinking about how to divide the fifteen gold among eighteen people.
"Could this be the beginning of Hidden Valley's conspiracy and calculations again?" Mu Qing frowned, secretly speculating on various possibilities in his heart, while emitting Qi and locking Sun Ren, who looked pale and confused. Khan, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and he could no longer move.
Mu Qing looked at the people in Iron Bone Village not far away who were observing the movement here, narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "What are the identities of the so-called mother and daughter, where are their destinations, and do you have any agreement between you? It’s best to tell them all and I can spare your life.”
"Hey, Brother Sun, why are you waiting for us here?" A slightly familiar voice sounded half a foot away from behind.
Mu Qingjian frowned and restrained his anger directed only at Sun Ren.
