Those years when I climbed the wall

The night is dead.

Rubbing the forehead that jumped suddenly, Mu Yunqi looked back to the opposite side: "So, it is very likely that Xun Miao was taken away by the assassin?"

Shao Jingheng frowned lightly: "I ordered people to search inside and outside the White Lake Restaurant, and the lake was also salvaged. He was not among the dead and injured, and the search within a radius of five li was fruitless, so there is no shortage of possibilities." Turning his eyes: " Yao Dan said that he saw Xun Miao stabbing Li Tong with a sword before he fainted due to injury. From this point of view, Xun Miao may believe that the assassin was ordered by Li Tong and wanted to hold him hostage to kill the man in black. Why did Tong want to spare his life?"

Mu Yun prayed for a while: "There are many indications at the moment that although Li Tong has nothing to do with the man in black, he can't help himself. He learned of Xun Miao's identity and took him away as a last resort. Dao life-saving talisman."

Thinking it made sense, Shao Jingheng pondered for a while, but his expression was serious: "However, if the man in black came to save Li Tong, why did he chase you so hard?"

Knowing his worries, Mu Yunqi had his own opinion: "If this person is targeting me, he should have shot him long ago! I think it was because he was worried that Li Tong would be captured by me, and he had already revealed the inside story, in order to prevent outsiders from knowing too much. He conspired to kill us all."

"If that's the case, wouldn't Li Tong's life hang by a thread?" The man's eyebrows were still unfurled.

"Not necessarily." Mu Yunqi shook his head, "Since he has been waiting for Li Tong for a long time, it must be very important to the overall situation. Besides, the matter has come to an end, and killing one more person will not help the matter. It is better to keep this pawn and continue. for use."

After thinking for a while, Shao Jingheng temporarily agreed with this statement, and turned the subject: "I ordered Wu Zuo to examine the corpses of the two assassins, and found nothing unusual—they were all ordinary people! So I immediately speculated that they suddenly developed supernatural powers, and their physical strength doubled. , flying over eaves and walls, being invulnerable to swords and guns, or with the help of external forces." His eyes lightly focused, "In other words, the theory of elixir may have something to do with it."

"Drugs?" A sarcasm flickered in Mu Yunqi's eyes, "Do you also believe in such supernatural powers?"

The other said seriously: "The fact is now, and this is the only theory that can convince people. Moreover, the sudden death of the two assassins seemed to be caused by exhaustion, a symptom of the combination of drugs. It may be that those alchemists are not yet proficient in refining medicine, so this paragraph The so-called ghosts that appear over time are all drug testers."

"If that's the case," Mu Yunqi added a new meaning to his face, "What do you think is the purpose of this master messenger?"

Jianzhi shook his head: "I only saw a corner, so I dare not speak nonsense."

After being silent for a while, Mu Yunqi raised his eyebrows lightly: "From what I've heard, the timing of Li Tong coming to Xingzhou after you can be called a coincidence, and it was also a coincidence that the Ganyao man appeared in northern Xinjiang to commit crimes at that time! So now the rumors are spreading, and you are responsible for the matter of the medicine man, so you really don't want to argue about it?"

Seeing his calmness: "Right and wrong, we should take the truth as a guide. It is useless to talk too much at this moment." After a pause, "But when it comes to Li Tong, I have to mention Qin Liuzhi! He is still sluggish to the bottom, and he is not willing. It seems that he was frightened when he uttered a word, if it was not forced, then maybe the person did not know about the Yaoren, and he was not even clear about what Li Tonglai did afterwards."

Mu Yunqi nodded: "I think so too. If Qin Liu knew about the medicine man, he wouldn't show up to rob the prisoner; moreover, the two of them are like snakes and rats, and Li Tong will definitely not." The reason for leaving Qin Liuzhi alone. It would be wrong to say that Qin Liuzhi was completely ignorant of Li Tong's actions: when he was in Beijing, Qin Liuzhi was obviously instructed by someone to sneak into Guo's house and get close to Guo Kai, and this Li Tong Tong, not the main messenger, but also an accomplice!"

Shao Jingheng stood up and paced back and forth: "Now it seems that if you want to know the inside story, the only way is to get Qin Liu to confess as soon as possible!"

Mu Yunqi picked up the teacup and lowered his tone: "This matter is not something that can be seen for a while, so there is no need to be too anxious to avoid chaos in the rush. It is better to take it step by step." Sipping tea, he groaned for a while, as if waiting It's time to start another topic, but at this time, I listened to the voice of an outsider: "Sir, the medicine is here."

Shao Jingheng opened the door, took in a food box and put it on the table, took out a small cup, opened the lid, and a light smell of medicine diffused in the room.

Glancing at the object in front of him, Mu Yunqi's eyes were full of resistance: "I'm not injured, so I don't need any medicine!"

"This medicine is not for healing, but for detoxification." The man smiled kindly.

After staring at him for a while, Mu Yun prayed that he understood what he said, did not argue any more, and drank the medicine in one gulp.After a short rest, when the man came back with the medicine cup, he seized the opportunity: "I'm coming back to the north now, you should know my purpose?"

"If it's about conquering the north," the man's voice was flat, "I've explained the inside story, and it's not appropriate to send troops at this moment."

"Is it inappropriate to send troops, or do you not want to send troops?" Mu Yunqi looked straight at him, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Jing Heng, I'm already here, what worries do you have?"

"There are a lot of concerns." After stopping a few steps away, Shao Jingheng's voice did not change: "What's more, why does His Majesty trust Huo Lanxian so much, and always give him whatever he wants? From my point of view, there are many unpredictable things in this plan. Even without saying whether Huo Lankun has other plans for this request, but if he fails to seize the throne and Huo Lankun ascends to the throne of Youguo, our move will be an open-flame provocation, which will inevitably lead to war, and the northern border will be re-emerged. Qi, the loss of life, is it what His Majesty wants to see?"

With a sigh, Mu Yunqi frowned: "Jing Heng, at this moment, do you really still want to argue with me on this issue? No matter how cunning Huo Lanxian is, he is worse than Huo Lankun's stubbornness and violence. Surely there are countless things in his heart? He didn't say anything, but now Huo Lankun is advocating the use of troops against me on the grounds that the medicine man attacked his grain army, but you still expect him to treat me with courtesy if I don't interfere in the affairs of the north?"

Shao Jingheng turned his back, and said in a dull voice, "I know that Huo Lankun is not a kind person, and I don't expect that I will not interfere in the affairs of the north, so that I can calm things down, but instead of taking this risk, why not sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? Even if Huo Lankun shows up However, there are many people in Youguo who are dissatisfied with Huo Lankun, I am afraid that he has not provoked me to fight against me, but the internal strife started first, so, how can I say that I can't take advantage of it?"

Such an understatement, but it’s all wishful thinking—an excuse to justify myself!

Mu Yun prayed urgently: "Huo Lankun has a hundred thousand troops in hand, looking at the entire You country, except for Huo Lanxian, how many people can stand up to him? What you think is..." A sense of dizziness hit, and the words cut off.He hurriedly sat back with the table, but fortunately this time he didn't have the palpitations and sweats like the previous attack, he was just dizzy and weak, just feeling quite sleepy.

Concentrated, with a heavy weight on his shoulders, a soft voice rang in his ears: "Don't panic, this is because of the effect of the medicine. This medicine is harmless. It will only make you feel sleepy after taking it. Just rest for a while and it will be fine."

Hearing this voice, Mu Yunqi inexplicably felt at ease, his eyelids were heavy at the moment, but he didn't intend to force it, he just let his consciousness float, and felt his body lighten in a trance, and after a while, his back was pressed against the soft bed.

Feeling that the man was about to pull away, Mu Yunqi's heart tightened because of the obsession in his heart, and he opened his eyes and grabbed the man's wrist.With great difficulty, he focused his eyes and met those dark eyes that were full of warmth.

"What's the matter?" Reaching out to caress his temples with one hand, the voice of the person on the other side was extremely pleasant: "I'm right here, you can rest at ease."

Heart relaxed a few more inches, Mu Yunqi closed his eyes, and paused every word: "Send—soldiers!"

There was a sigh that seemed to be something but nothing: "Let me think about it."

The hand that was holding the other was slowly loosened, and it was wrapped in the palm of the other hand that was stretched out, and it was put back under the quilt to caress carefully.

Unable to overcome the tiredness, Mu Yunqi gradually withdrew from the few traces of consciousness that remained, and fell into a deep sleep.

No dream all night, wake up already dawn.The room was quiet and there was no one there, but the messy quilt on the bed clearly told him that he was indeed here to accompany him last night.

In the next few days, Mu Yunqi spent a lot of time in a coma—two doses of medicine in the morning and evening, comatose in the morning until the afternoon, and during the whole day, he was actually awake for only a few hours.Usually, not long after getting up, it was already dusk!So for three to five days, even though he was shackled in this small courtyard, it was not boring. After all, the two hours of waking up had no shortage of entertainment: Goose fighting game, that person should try to accompany him as much as possible, otherwise, Lu Chongning's injuries would not be serious. If you don't get in the way, I have to come here to accompany you for entertainment.However, after several days of medication, Mu Yunqi's symptoms of palpitations and sweating did not reappear. It can be seen that this medicine is really effective in eliminating the residual poison of Tang Daiyun's medicinal tea that day.

As the saying goes, people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries. There is no perfect thing in the world!The residual poison on Mu Yunqi's body is gradually clearing away, but worry-no matter how far or near, it is still inevitable.Needless to say, it is far away: Shao Jingheng has avoided mentioning the issue of sending troops, and there has been no progress in the case of the medicine man; speaking of recent times, Li Tong and Li Qiaoer have disappeared, and Xun Miao's life and death are unknown!In addition to this, there are also a lot of minor annoyances, taking medicine every day counts as one, and the other...

"Why did you stop me? It was said yesterday that you can't carry a sword, so I'm carrying a sword now? Or a knife?" Lu Chongning's voice broke into the door.

The hand that was touching the strings paused, and Mu Yunqi smiled wryly: Here we go again!

"The Lord is not awake, so don't disturb him." The other person's voice was calm and unquestionable.

"Usually, your lord wakes up before the beginning of the day, and now it's almost the end of the day. You haven't even checked inside, and you don't know whether your lord needs someone to serve you, so you assert yourself, isn't it a dereliction of duty?" Lu Chongning argued vigorously.

"My husband just left a quarter of an hour ago, and he didn't say he was awake, so just wait." The voice of the person was still indifferent.

"You just wait, why?" Lu Chongning was annoyed.

"Don't make any noise here, if you commit another crime knowingly, I will invite you out!" Even though he was threatening, the man's voice did not fluctuate.

"Zeng Wuhua!" Lu Chongning called his name directly, but his voice dropped a few inches.

If things go on like this, perhaps there is no military incident in the distance, and within the courtyard walls, a battle has already been triggered!Sighing secretly, Mu Yunqi stood up and opened the door.

"My lord!" Lu Chongning blushed.

Those who confronted him turned around and bowed their heads: "Wu Hua neglected his duty and disturbed the idler, please punish him!"

"You..." Lu Chongning gritted his teeth.

"Okay." Mu Yunqi stopped the angry and unwilling person with his eyes, and turned to the calm person: "I don't blame you, it's Chongning's recklessness."

He gave a deep bow and did not say another word.

Mu Yunqi turned around, and Lu Chongning followed him into the door knowingly.

Hearing that the door of the room was closed behind him, Mu Yunqi expressed his displeasure: "A gentleman convinces others with virtue, followed by reason. No matter how bad it is, he should behave according to etiquette. Why is it proper to make such a noise like a reckless man?"

"I..." Lu Chongning felt aggrieved: "I'm at fault! However, this Zeng Wuhua is obviously bullying others. I am the guard of the Lord, and it was not the first day that he came here. Conspiracy."

Mu Yunqi glanced at him: "Even so, so what?"

"This..." Lu Chongning was dumbfounded.After a long while, I drooped my eyes silently: "I made a note of it, but it's just that it's not malicious. The original intention is good. From now on, I will give him three points."

"Why is he so malicious?" Mu Yunqi couldn't laugh or cry.Caressing the forehead: "Forget it, you just remember, come every day, don't start provocations for no reason, this Zeng Wuhua looks rigid at first glance like a piece of heavy wood, but in fact it is very transparent, it is not easy to provoke, otherwise it will not be won. The Lord trusts you. If you fight with him, you won’t gain the upper hand. It’s better to do what you can, and don’t take it upon yourself.”

"Yes." The person opposite resented.

Mu Yunqi walked forward and sat down, then turned serious: "I asked you to pay attention to the internal and external movements in the past two days, can you gain anything?"

His eyes lit up, he took two steps forward, and his voice was very soft but clear: "Chen, I found Li Qiao'er!" He took out a ball of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and presented it carefully.

A few words crooked on the torn yellow paper: Dusk, in front of Qingfeng Hotel.The handwriting is blurred, as if written in a hurry.

"I have already inquired about it," Lu Chongning said with a bit of complacency in his voice, "Qingfeng Hotel is a small shop located in a remote place."

"You promised to meet her?" Mu Yunqi frowned, "Why didn't you bring her back then?"

Lu Chongning expressed difficulty: "I wanted to bring her back, but she didn't seem to want to." Scratching his head: "At that time, I was wandering near the Dengxian Tower, and there were other people beside me. She pretended to be a beggar and followed me for a long time. Lu, pretending to beg for money and holding me to stuff this ball of paper." Looking up: "But it's no wonder, after the previous changes, she is now a frightened bird."

Sighing lightly, Mu Yunqi turned the subject: "Apart from this today, have you heard anything else?"

The waiter shook his head, a little helpless: "The spies have been lurking around Dengxian Tower and Li Tong's house in disguise for many days, but unfortunately they found nothing. It seems that Li Tong and those people will not be lucky, there should be another safe place to settle down. "

"Where's Xun Miao?" Knowing that there was no hope, Mu Yunqi still asked this question without hesitation.

"No news." The speaker was frustrated.

Mu Yunqi frowned lightly.

a while.

Lu Chongning was careful: "Your Majesty, let me see if tonight I..."

Mu Yunqi nodded: "Of course you are going, but you must bring someone with you!"

Lu Chongning was puzzled: "But Li Qiaoer is not willing to..." Touching his chin: "Besides, wouldn't Shao Jinglue know about this?"

Mu Yunqi smiled wryly: "Do you think there are still things that can be kept from him for a long time?" Standing up: "Besides, the outside world is full of dangers. No matter how smart Li Qiaoer is, she is still a lonely and weak woman. She may be found by gangsters at any time and be in danger. And you Bringing her back will make Jing Heng know her identity is fine, no matter what, he won't make things difficult for a woman and torture her to extract a confession?"

"That's true!" Lu Chongning's eyes lit up: Don't talk about women, it's that Qin Liuzhi who hasn't said a word yet, isn't he staying in the prison intact?His eyes turned: "So, Shao Jinglue is not as ruthless as the rumors!"

"Since you know it's a rumor, why do you take it seriously?" Mu Yunqi let out a light snort, and walked inside with a flick of his sleeves.
