The sky breaks and dawn comes quietly.
In a room filled with the fragrance of orchids and porridge, a large bowl of porridge was placed in front of Mu Qing in front of a candlelit table.
Mu Qing looked at the small bowls in front of his aunt and others and the extra-large bowl in front of him, with a helpless smile on his pursed lips.
"What's wrong?" The woman on the side had an apron tied around her waist. She stretched out the back of her hand to feel the temperature on the wall of the bowl and advised, "This medicinal porridge is specially designed to replenish qi and blood. Brother, you should eat more."
She vaguely heard someone say that practitioners can eat clouds and drink dew in their breathing. It seems that eating is no longer necessary. Thinking of this, a pair of slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes were a little anxious.
Mu Qing gently held her wrist that was about to retract, and said softly: "Sister Yueshan, it's okay if I miss one or two meals. Your body hasn't recovered yet, so why bother."
Liu Yueshan shook her head and smiled without saying a word, her eyes filled with joy.
Huaifenghua glared at the ignorant Mu Qing and said, "Yue Shan also specifically asked me for the medicinal formula. We are all in your hands, so don't be too pushy."
Mu Qing was helpless. What he wanted to express was not that the porridge tasted bad, so he took a sip of the medicinal porridge helplessly. The temperature of this medicinal porridge is just right. When you eat it, it is slightly bitter at first and then full of sweet and pleasant aftertaste. Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and quickly finished a large bowl of medicinal porridge with the expectant look of the woman in front of him.
"Madam came to us before you did, and prescribed medicine for Xiu Xiaotan and the others. As for me, I was just a little frightened, so you don't have to worry about me."
"By the way, have you given that letter to Mrs. Wang?"
Ever since she knew that Huai Fenghua was Mu Qing's aunt, Liu Yueshan had always addressed her as his wife. Now that she thought about Mu Qing, her expression became much more serious.
Mu Qing sighed in his heart. The letter had gone away with the carriage, and the feeling of nostalgia had also faded a lot. At this moment, he felt full of affection for the woman in front of him who put her heart into him.
Mu Qing didn't feel that she had pulled Liu Yueshan out of the quagmire, so she should focus all her energy on herself.
At this time, he stood up and pulled Liu Yueshan to sit on his seat, and said seriously: "Sister Yueshan, the first thing you should think of is to take care of yourself. Don't be too tired. You know, I am in this state. It’s not really an injury.”
Liu Yueshan nodded slightly, but the depths of his eyes were a little dim.
Huaifenghua glanced sideways at Mu Qing, unable to complain about his behavior of not understanding women's hearts.
Friendship has no distinction between high and low, but it should come and go.
When Mu Qing faces everyone, he always wants to shoulder all the responsibilities, which is a very manly expression.
But in the eyes of Huaifenghua, such blind giving is not advisable. It will make selfish people worse, and it will also make a traditional and kind-hearted woman like Liu Yueshan indecisive, and she will feel that she has become a burden.
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing and said solemnly: "If you ask me, the one sitting in this room is your kid who takes things for granted and is reckless and impulsive, and the least considerate."
Mu Qing was speechless, his mouth opened but he didn't dare to speak back.
Liu Yueshan's eyes were a little uneasy, and just when she was about to speak, she heard Huaifenghua say: "Whether it's with me or with Yueshan, you always think that you are treating them in the best way. That's really Big mistake."
"Where did I go wrong..." Mu Qing's lips curled up and she protested softly.
"Humph - what's wrong? Don't you know it yourself?" Huaifenghua threw the question back.
Mu Qing could only look at Wang Yeqing.
Wang Yeqing smiled gently and said: "I'm afraid Yue Shan's feelings are similar to those of Instructor Xie just now. It's amazing that you have been able to develop such a good character after spending twelve years in Hidden Valley."
"I think your aunt wants to remind you that being needed and being needed by you may also be a happy experience for everyone who has been helped by you."
Mu Qing glanced at the faces of everyone in the room, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw everyone nodded slightly, with expressions of deep understanding on their faces.
To Liu Yueshan, she was like a passenger on the boat, and Mu Qing was the one holding the boat while wading through the water, without holding Mu Qing's hand with her backhand.
Mu Qing felt the gentle touch on his hand and lowered his gaze. Liu Yueshan raised her head and said sincerely: "Don't make yourself too tired."
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing who was a little panicked, and finally said: "Since this is the person you want to protect, you should trust everyone and remember not to act impulsively. I'm not here, so you can discuss it with everyone."
"Did Auntie guess something?" Mu Qing looked at Huaifenghua's warning eyes, and her heart moved slightly.
That night, he and Zhang Zhiyuan chatted for a long time.
In the second half of the conversation, he finally started to ask about his father Lin Xiao.
What kind of person is he? Mu Qing will also be thinking about it after knowing his life experience.
"The city lord is a very loyal person."
This was Zhang Zhiyuan's first sentence after leaving his long memories, but it was this sentence that made Mu Qing suddenly understand that Lin Xiao in Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes was the boss in the eyes of his subordinates, the eldest brother among the brothers, but no one else's. Husband, who's father.
Because of being pregnant with Fenghua, Mu Qing thought more about his mother Bai Xueyue, but about his father Lin Xiao, even if he tried hard to outline the image in his mind, it felt a little less real.
Everything is like a cloud, they are other people's memories, other people's past.
But these do not hinder the trembling that comes from the depths of the blood after knowing that his father, mother, aunt's master, and Lin clan members all died in Bai Hao's hands.
Kill him, you want to be alone but kill Bai Hao.
Mu Qing thought that he hid this idea very well and thought that his aunt would not know about it.
"After you left, Zhang Zhiyuan took the initiative to find me. He said that you later asked a lot about the distribution of the inner city and the layout of the city lord's palace."
Huaifenghua suddenly spoke. She looked at Mu Qing with a stern warning in her eyes: "I just suddenly woke up. You have been trained by Hidden Valley for twelve years and are an assassin."
Mu Qing sighed helplessly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Idiot!" Huaifenghua lost her composure in front of outsiders for the first time. She touched Mu Qing with her slender hand and scolded: "How much of the information that Zhang Zhiyuan knows is true and how false? Can you defeat the opponent by yourself? Or? Say you want to try the feeling of an army formation with thousands of people again?"
Huaifenghua's volley of words made Mu Qing narrow her eyes and not even have the chance to speak back. At this time, the others spoke for Mu Qing and comforted Huaifenghua.
Wang Yeqing knew that the Zhang Zhiyuan mentioned by Huai Fenghua was the scholar and swordsman Mu Qing mentioned last time. She looked thoughtful in her eyes and finally couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if Zhang Zhiyuan has anything to do with my sister, your disciple Shaoyao."
Huaifenghua didn't have much real anger towards Mu Qing, she just wanted to give him a stern warning. When Wang Yeqing asked about it, Wang Yeqing's help to Mu Qing flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but restrain herself and lowered her eyes. He sighed: "It's hard to look back on the past. This is also related to the life experience of this brat."
As Huaifenghua continued to speak, the girls frequently glanced at Mu Qing. Long after Huaifenghua finished speaking, Wang Yeqing still looked surprised and said with a wry smile of sudden realization: "The massacre of the family in the first year of Tianshou I know that I even heard about your royal status, sister, but I never expected that Mu Qing would be the son of the former city lord Lin Xiao."
When Huai Fenghua heard this, she felt sour in her heart. She looked at Mu Qing who was standing silently in front of the table, nodded and said: "Shaoyao's parents saved him, so the brother-sister relationship between him and Shaoyao cannot be faked." , If I hadn’t seen that this kid was already in the game, I probably wouldn’t have told him his life story so early, and I even regret it now.”
Hearing this, Mu Qing said firmly again: "I inquired about the situation in the inner city because I am preparing for revenge, but I also want to know if Uncle Zhang and the others are still alive?"
What's going on? Wang Yeqing raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Wang Yeqing's expression, Mu Qing took the initiative to bring up matters related to Zhang Zhijing. After hearing this, Wang Yeqing muttered: "I used to set up intelligence channels for Hidden Valley and stayed in Suzaku City for a long time. Bai Hao is a deep-seated man. It is important to think carefully before taking action. If he really catches Zhang Zhijing, there is a high chance that he will not kill him. After all... this person is a vicious person who can even threaten innocent people to show up to me. "
"I also think Uncle Zhang must still be alive, and maybe Aunt Xiaoya is too." Mu Qing originally wanted to get Wang Yeqing's judgment, but now his words were a little more excited and expectant.
Huaifenghua silently gave Wang Yeqing an anxious look. Wang Yeqing understood and said with an extremely serious expression: "Do you still remember the brief conversation we had when you left Suzaku City and returned to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley? Since Bai Hao had already been there before It connects you with Zhang Zhijing, which shows that he suspected you even before you even knew your own background."
Huaifenghua frowned and added: "That's what I mean too. The brat has exposed his doubts at some point. His appearance on Qingyun Street this time has exposed him to the public. I'm afraid Bai Hao has also determined your identity." identity."
"So what if we're sure? He wants to kill me, and I also want to get rid of him quickly!" Mu Qing said with cold eyes.
"That's not right!" Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing, who had been emotionally unstable recently, and said in a deep voice: "The key point is the process. If you rush to the inner city recklessly at this time, Bai Hao, who is unable to retreat, will definitely not mind killing you first. . If he still wanted to alert the snake and follow my side and find you, then after Tianshou's plot against Wanhua Valley failed, this has already become a situation that affects the whole body, and he has to put his sights first. Looking at the overall situation, focus on Hidden Valley."
"If you, kid, act like a standout at this time, not only Hidden Valley will think you are cutting an uncontrollable thorn in the head, but Bai Hao will even wake up laughing in his sleep."
Mu Qing's heart sank. He listened carefully to Wang Yeqing's words, but he also felt that they made sense. He asked a little at a loss: "What if I have extraordinary late-stage strength? Can I kill him?"
Wang Yeqing thought for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "It's difficult. His own strength should be in the middle stage of extraordinary, not to mention the military formation in the inner city and the formation underground in the city lord's palace..."
"So you'd better not mess around! Don't show off your bravery where you should be planning slowly. No one here wants you to be a hero who is in danger of death."
