Lin Mao thought that everything would be fine if he could be an inseparable wooden fish between those two young men, but it was obvious that Qiao Muyun and Chang Xiaoqing didn't think so.
Since Qiao Muyun asked to order someone to decoct medicine for Lin Mao, Chang Xiaoqing also spoke coldly without mercy.
"Master was sick and weak in his early years, and ordinary soups and medicines are not only useless to him, but also harm his health. Mr. Qiao, you should not make any claims." While he was speaking, his body seemed to be unconsciously blocking Lin Mao's body. In front of him, the angle was just enough to block Qiao Muyun's gaze towards Lin Mao, "Of course I will take care of Master's affairs."
Chang Xiaoqing said.
"Oh, really?"
Qiao Muyun raised her eyebrows slightly.He is also a very handsome young man, who has always been sincere and harmless, but at this moment, there is a subtle killing intent in those star-like eyes.
He slowly looked at Chang Xiaoqing with an obviously mocking gaze. The clothes on the latter were very worn out due to the past few days of running around, and Chang Xiaoqing himself was even more bruised and haggard.
"So that's how you took care of Senior Lin?"
Qiao Muyun spoke slowly word by word.It's just that when he said Lin Mao's title, his eyes dimmed.
Chang Xiaoqing's movements froze when he heard the words, and his face turned pale when he thought of the suffering Lin Mao had suffered along the way.
There was a suffocating silence in the room.
call……
The candlelight beside Lin Mao suddenly trembled in a sudden air current, shaking the dim light and figures in the room.
At this time, Lin Mao turned his back to the two people behind him, facing the bronze mirror, and happened to see Qiao Muyun and Chang Xiaoqing confronting each other through the reflection of the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his forehead.
Even if he didn't want to provoke his upper body anymore, he had to open his mouth to smooth things over at this time.
"It's just that I accidentally shuddered, so it's not worth thinking about you so much."
"But……"
"My master and my apprentice are hiding here now, and I owe too much to Mr. Qiao. I really can't bother you to worry about this old man. What's more, there are so many eyeliners in the city. If you rush to send medicine, you are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. Trouble."
Lin Mao spoke slowly, with a very polite tone, but Qiao Muyun felt stuck in his throat, speechless.
The more polite Lin Mao was, the more Qiao Muyun knew that he was indeed just a junior in the eyes of the other party, and he had a completely different position from his apprentice who was neither human nor ghost.
Qiao Muyun's blood was pressed down to her heart, like a boulder.
And in a corner that Lin Mao couldn't see, Chang Xiaoqing raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Muyun quickly - at this time, silence was louder than sound, and Qiao Muyun never missed half of the smugness in the white-haired man's eyes.
An extremely violent evil fire immediately burned the veins on Qiao Muyun's forehead.
Fortunately, Lin Mao immediately changed the topic to the serious business, which somehow allowed the eldest son of the Qiao family to maintain his basic sanity.
Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing are now hiding in Tianxian Pavilion, in order to hang out with Dou Huakui in a few days, and get out of the city when there are many people in the city and noisy.It's just that the two of them have to pretend to be other people in the few days before the day of fighting oirans.
"Recently, there are eyeliners from various sects in the city and in the building, and I mistakenly killed people from the Palace of Bliss before..." Speaking of this, Qiao Muyun couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Although the Palace of Bliss is notorious in the martial arts world, it has secretly done a lot of business with the Qiao family.Even though Qiao Muyun is the heir of the Qiao family, just now he pretended to be crazy by drinking and did such a thing against the Palace of Bliss, which happened to cause him a lot of trouble.If it was a few days ago, Qiao Muyun would not have taken those troubles seriously when his heart was ashamed, but now that he wants to protect Lin Mao, he has to restrain his hands and act cautiously.
Thinking of what Qiao's mother might do next, Qiao Muyun's chest sank even more. Of course, in front of Lin Mao, Qiao Muyun naturally didn't show any clues.
"I'm afraid I have to trouble Senior Lin to disguise himself as a Pilulan in the building for a few days."
After careful consideration, Qiao Muyun finally revealed his plan.
That Pilulan was none other than the so-called princess of a small country in the Western Regions that Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing fainted when they climbed into the building from outside the building.This woman from the Western Regions was humble and noble, and she was sent to the Tianxian Pavilion by the businessman after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. After that, she has been recuperating in her room. Therefore, even in the Tianxian Pavilion, few people have seen her face. She is so beautiful, it was Qiao's aunt who specially ordered someone to stay as Qiao Muyun's concubine...
As for Pilulan himself, Qiao Muyun used gold needles to seal his body's big acupoints and passed out, and then he was stuffed into the secret room where those obscene and evil toys were stored by the ruthless young master of the Qiao family. Within a few days, feeding some rice milk soup every day will allow him to sleep peacefully and without any movement for several days.
As for Chang Xiaoqing...
"Chang Shaoxia is now a well-known villain on the list, and the bounty has already piled up to a thousand taels of gold. Moreover, his figure is very conspicuous and it is difficult to disguise," Qiao Muyun said while looking at Chang Xiaoqing's gray and white With long hair, he said, "It's better to hide on the beams of the house with the technique of turtle's breath these days."
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Muyun saw Lin Mao frowning slightly.
He hurriedly said again: "In this way, Chang Shaoxia will indeed have to work harder—but no matter how hard it is, safety is still more important. After all, he is no more than you, senior, in the eyes of the world. The elixir of life As soon as the news came out, both the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are now staring at Chang Shaoxia, especially in this rivers and lakes, there are also Chang Shaoxia's old friends..."
Qiao Muyun spoke with utmost sincerity, but the latter sentence was deliberately cryptic.
After hearing the word "old friend", Lin Mao's thin shoulders trembled slightly, and his whole body was like a crabapple flower that had been hit by autumn rain, adding a bit of haggard look out of thin air.
Chang Xiaoqing and Qiao Muyun only saw Lin Mao's snow-white face, and the slight redness on the eyelids caused by forcibly suppressing their emotions.
Lin Mao didn't pay attention to the momentary stiffness between his apprentice and his old friend.
His thoughts had all fallen on Qiao Muyun's words, of course he knew who the "old man" Qiao Muyun was talking about.
It was none other than his apprentice Jin Lingzi who was brought up by himself!
Before Qiao Muyun confronted Jin Lingzi's puppet Peng Zhenran outside the door, Lin Mao could hear it clearly when he was hiding behind the door.
And that Jin Lingzi suddenly joined the Palace of Bliss and became a majestic young palace master, and then used the power of the Palace of Bliss to hunt down Chang Xiaoqing...
No matter how unwilling Lin Mao was, he could more or less sense that the matter was not simple.
Thinking of this, the blood on Lin Mao's face faded. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Young Master Qiao is right."
In fact, Chang Xiaoqing's white hair is not impossible to dye it into an ordinary color, and a humble servant in Tianxian Pavilion may not attract the attention of others.However, other people in the rivers and lakes may not be able to find Chang Xiaoqing hiding among the crowd. That Jin Lingzi lived and grew up with Chang Xiaoqing, and he knows the appearance and behavior of this junior brother very well, so it is Chang Xiaoqing. No matter how careful you are, it's hard not to show your feet.
In this way, the three of them made a rough plan.
At this time, it was the time when the moon reached the mid-heaven, and even the sound of singing, drinking and having fun in Tianxian Pavilion faded away a lot.Qiao Muyun was still waiting to discuss some details with Lin Mao, when his face suddenly changed and he fell silent.
It was too late to say it, but Lin Maoshang was still in a daze when he saw the two people beside him standing up suddenly.As soon as Chang Xiaoqing stretched out his long arms, he hugged Lin Mao tightly into his arms. With his toes pointing to the wall, he led Lin Maojing to climb up the beam quietly.
As for Qiao Muyun's cuffs, a gust of true energy gushed out from his palm, and he took a rosewood screen inlaid with Hunan embroidery by the wall and moved it behind him, completely covering where Lin Mao was now.
The strange thing was that the screen weighed several hundred catties, and Qiao Muyun moved it over like this without making any sound.
【What a handsome effort! 】
Lin Mao couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Qiao Muyun didn't know if she had heard Lin Mao's silent praise, and after she stopped her hands, she looked up at Lin Maochang Xiaoqing seemingly inadvertently. The candlelight was imprinted in the pupils of the young man's eyes, as bright as stars.
Lin Mao nodded towards Qiao Muyun, but he didn't know that Chang Xiaoqing and Qiao Muyun fought against each other out of thin air behind him.
After a short while, there was a messy knock on the door - both Chang Xiaoqing and Qiao Muyun had heard that movement before, so they did what they did just now.
"Who?"
Qiao Muyun coughed lightly, pretending to mutter in a sleepy voice.
"Report to the young master, it's me."
The person who answered outside the door was the eldest mother who was a little bit unlucky.
"What's the matter? You're bothering me so late?!" Qiao Muyun said again.
The plus-sized mother had seen a person who had been in trouble for many years, but at this time her tone of voice changed slightly.
"I also ask the young master to forgive me... There is a big incident in the pavilion, and the servants really dare not take care of it without authorization. Now I can only ask the young master to take care of it."
When the eldest mother got the order and came in, the three people in the room saw that the woman was sweating profusely and her face was pale.
"Young master, young master, the capital oiran girl Peony who has just arrived in Tianxian Pavilion... Miss Peony... she was killed in her room!"
Before Qiao Muyun could ask, the eldest mother fell to the ground as soon as she entered the room, kneeling on the ground and whispering.
Someone was killed? !
Chang Xiaoqing, Qiao Muyun and Lin Mao were startled at the same time.
"Take me to see."
Qiao Mu said.
Then he pushed the door straight out under the leadership of the eldest mother.
But before going out, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at the beam.
It was empty.
The place where Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing were hiding before was already empty.
Since Qiao Muyun asked to order someone to decoct medicine for Lin Mao, Chang Xiaoqing also spoke coldly without mercy.
"Master was sick and weak in his early years, and ordinary soups and medicines are not only useless to him, but also harm his health. Mr. Qiao, you should not make any claims."
