Don't ask for perfection

The time we were tired of being together passed quickly, half a year passed before we knew it.When Mu Xuanying woke up in the morning, she felt that the morning breeze was a bit chilly, and it was only a blink of an eye when winter went to spring.

There was an envelope on the table, and the window was open.

These days are too comfortable for people to take advantage of the opportunity.Otherwise, if there is even a little trouble outside, you can wake up, so how could you let others come in and out.

Even so, Mu Xuanying opened the envelope. This handwriting was something he had seen since he was a child, and he was so familiar with it that he couldn't be more familiar with it.

What was written in the letter at the beginning was just some ordinary greetings, and Mu Xuanying forgot when she needed to be polite with Xie Yuan.

The war in the Eastern Capital has been going badly, and I hope the Haoqi League can help if it is a last resort.Mu Xuanying's understanding of the war is only limited to what he has heard and cherished.After all, the Haoqi League is far away, no matter how hard they fight, they won't hit them.But now he is asking someone who has never experienced war to help him... Mu Xuanying thought about it, as if she was the only one in the Haoqi League who had never experienced war.

On September [-], they will meet outside Luoyang City.After reading the last sentence of the letter, Mu Xuanying silently recorded the time, lit the half-burned candle on the table, and slowly reduced the letter to ashes.

Intuition told him that the letter was sent by Ying, and the person must be nearby.As for Mo Yu... It's been so long since they met again, and it's really hard to let go of parting like this.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

A pair of hands wrapped around his waist without warning, "What are you burning?"

"The Haoqi League has something to deal with, and you know that even though it's a national matter, the Haoqi League can't just sit on the sidelines." The more she said, the softer her voice became, Mu Xuanying lowered her head and dared not Go look each other in the eye.

After a long silence, Mo Yu said, "If you have something to do, then go. People from the Haoqi League are probably already nearby and ready to respond."

"Where did you go after that?"

"Where did you come from and where do you go back? Although it is against the rules to leave the valley rashly this time, who can do anything to me?" Mo Yu thought for a while and felt that it was inappropriate, "Don't worry, I will take the medicine that the valley owner gave you before leaving. eat it."

Mu Xuanying didn't want to talk about this, he wanted to invite Mo Yu to go with him, Master could try to hide it...but he didn't dare, what if he couldn't hide it...I'm afraid it would hurt Mo Yu bigger.

"I will try my best to take time to see you, and I will be free anyway in the Valley of the Evil." Mo Yu realized that what he had said was a bit too much, and immediately changed his words to comfort him, "There will be a lot of time to meet in the future, why bother to stick to it for a while .”

"I..." I want to be with you day and night... After all, the nostalgia deep in my heart is still unspoken. Mu Xuanying keeps telling herself that these feelings are just caused by being too leisurely these days, maybe after a while Enough. "Mo Yu, take care of each other..."

"Xuanying."

As expected, Ying was waiting for Mu Xuanying to appear nearby. There were so many people in the market that Mu Xuanying didn't recognize her at first glance.

"Uncle Ying, why are you here?" Even though she had expected it a long time ago, Mu Xuanying still put on a surprised expression.

"Leader and the others are already on the front line. They haven't been able to contact you these days. They originally asked you to travel, but because of these things, they have to tell you to go back. Now you and I will rush to Luoyang to meet the leader and the others," Ying said. He led Mu Xuanying to the stables, "These fierce horses are no more docile than the ones I've seen before, but they run fast, let's make do with them."

Mu Xuanying didn't say any more, got on her horse and followed closely behind Ying.

Things are like a dream these days.Looking at the city gate that was gradually moving away, Mu Xuanying still felt unreal.From Daoxiang Village to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and then to Chang'an City, together with Mo Yu...

He would rather these were just a dream.

According to Miao Yan, it was Xie Yuan's intention to let him enter the underworld.Now he is also eager to ask Xie Yuan to prove what it is, whoever is tormenting him is not good, he must come to harm him.

The medicine Mu Xuanying gave by the owner of the valley was left on the table after all.But thinking about what Ye Guzhu said that night, Mu Xuanying couldn't help being a little afraid, and she couldn't be emotional. Even though it was just this one condition, now...Mu Xuanying decided not to think about it, the more she thought about it, the more chaotic it became.

"Uncle Ying, master, how has he been recently?" Mu Xuanying decided to find some topics to ease her thoughts.

"The leader is still the same. After all, he was in the army before, so there are always some injuries that cannot be healed. Why did Xuanying remember and ran to Chang'an this time?"

"I've always wanted to see it before, so I came here this time. As expected of the capital, although the towers and palaces are not as graceful as those in the south of the Yangtze River, nor as sharp as those in the north, they are really beautiful."

"This war is over, if you want to come to Chang'an to stay for a while, that's fine."

The war is over?How many generals in history were looking forward to their triumphant return and ended up dying on the battlefield... and Mu Xuanying knew better than anyone else whether they could survive until the end of the war.

"Well, then I will come to Chang'an to live for a while longer."

Mo Yu sat on the top of the gate of Xishi, holding a half pot of unfinished wine in his hand.People always have to go, and these days are just the time stolen by God's gift.

Let's go back to the Valley of the Wicked, there's enough time out this time.Presumably those servants brought by the Mo family have gone crazy with him, and they will beat and scold him when they go back, anyway, this trip is worth it.

It's a pity that I don't know when it will be.Anyway, the first time he came out was the second time. Mo Yu hadn't been afraid of anything since he was a child. As long as he found out about Mu Xuanying's whereabouts, it would not be a problem for him to sneak in.As long as she can stay by his side, she will not hesitate to ask for perfection.Mo Yu took out the small medicine bottle in his arms, and there was a small black pill in it.He shook his head helplessly, drank the remaining wine in the jug, then jumped off the tower and landed firmly on the ground.

Things like feelings are so humble, from ancient times to the present.

The south has not been affected by the war, and I didn't feel anything when I went all the way to Chang'an, but now the more I go north, the more bleak the scene I see.Famine pervades the entire town, and refugees are everywhere. Mu Xuanying never thought that the outside world would be so ruined.Some refugees rushed up and pulled Mu Xuanying's body, their empty eyes revealed infinite despair, and they tried their best to hold him back.In fact, Mu Xuanying could shake the refugees away with a little movement, but he didn't.

Compared to them...the wandering back then was nothing.

"Please, please give us something to eat..." Another pair of dry hands grabbed Mu Xuanying's clothes.

"This..." Mu Xuanying hesitated.

"Xuanying, hurry up, these refugees are very difficult, don't have too much contact with them." Ying gently reminded the person with dull eyes, "These people are also pitiful, but they cannot be saved."

"The food we brought is still enough, why not give some to them?" Mu Xuanying asked suspiciously.

"It looks like you don't look like a poor person because of your pretty features. If you give them one time, they will pester you for a second time. It will be a problem if you want to leave at that time. If you have people in your heart, you can't cherish this kind of love." place, let’s go.” Seeing that Mu Xuanying had no intention of leaving, Ying persuaded him a few more words.

Mu Xuanying couldn't bear to listen to the wailing of those refugees, yes, these things can't be controlled.

After passing that village, Mu Xuanying felt that her ears were quieter.

"Uncle Ying, are there still many places like this in this world?" After walking a long way, Mu Xuanying asked in a low voice.

"It's too much. Years of wars have caused untold numbers of people starved to death. Xuanying, many things in this world are out of your control. Just get used to it." Ying's tone was very calm.

"Well, I see."

Mu Xuanying also fell silent on whether she could still see people who collapsed from hunger on the side of the street during the next journey, speechless all the way.Ying also sensed Mu Xuanying's mood, and said nothing but a sigh.

At the same time, Mo Yu also received a letter from the Valley of the Wicked.

Fortunately, Wang Yifeng was a scholar, and he had taught Mo Yu calligraphy before, so he could barely understand the contents of this letter.The general idea is just to scold him why he left suddenly, when he returned and so on.Mo Yu thought that he didn't have pen and ink at hand, so he bit his finger cruelly, and wrote in blood: Don't read, return quickly.

Naturally, there is a reason for doing this. If Wang Yifeng saw the blood book, he must have been bullied outside and had to write it down. He would be more tolerant, and Mo Yu would say that he was caught by the Haoqi League. After these days, I am afraid that everyone has no reason to refute.Although no one seemed to bully him, and these days he was indeed getting mixed up with people from the Haoqi League.

Satisfied, Mo Yu released the carrier pigeon. Maomao should have arrived in Luoyang soon.Hope he doesn't suffer along the way.I don't know when the next time we will see each other again, which is really hard.

When I came back to my senses, my mind was full of that person.

Feisha Pass has been very uneven recently, and horse thieves are rampant, so many caravans from the Western Regions have to detour in fear.Mo Yu sat in a corner of the Longmen Inn and silently listened to the businessmen talking about the situation outside.

According to Mo Yu's experience, as long as you listen carefully in this inn, you can always hear something you want.

At this time, it was not time for dinner, and relatively fewer people came to the inn to rest. Although there were fewer things to hear, it sounded much more convenient.Mo Yu listened for a while, but it was only about the price of silk or the sales of fur this year. He couldn't help but smiled wryly, if he left the Valley of the Wicked in the future, selling these things would probably be enough to support his family.

"Xiaoer, have another jug ​​of wine."

Mo Yu turned his attention to the source of the voice. In the past, the people who came to this inn were basically businessmen, either speaking Mandarin, or with an accent from the Western Regions, or at worst simply speaking their own language.

This person's accent sounded familiar at first, but Mo Yu thought about it for a long time before he remembered that Mu Xuanying sometimes inadvertently spoke a little slurred, unable to tell the difference, just like this person.

Mo Yu got an idea, got up and walked towards the man, smiling harmlessly. "Brother, listen to the accent, may I ask you to come from the south."

The man froze for a moment and didn't speak.

"Some time ago, when my younger brother went south with his relatives, he got lost in that area. Excuse me, did you see a child about ten years old, who was about this tall." I couldn't figure it out, "Forget it, I must not be able to find it."

"Although I haven't met your younger brother, if you got lost in the south, why did you come to this desert and barren land to look for it?" The man asked back with his head down.

Mo Yuxin said that this person was quite vigilant, so he smiled and said: "The family has been doing business on both sides, this time I went out to find my younger brother."

"That's it, I wish you good luck." The man raised his head to look at Mo Yu, just in time to meet Mo Yu's apologetic smile, then lowered his head again.

"Thank you, goodbye." After Mo Yu finished speaking, he paid for the drink and walked outside.

Moyu got on the horse and ran all the way. After running for an unknown amount of time, he slowly took out the brocade bag in his arms. The four characters were neatly embroidered on the sky blue brocade, and his grandeur lasted forever.There is also a metal token inside, Chang Kong Ling.

I have done a lot of things like smashing and robbing since I was a thief, and now I finally have a place to use them again.

Mo Yu put the token away and put it back in his arms, and continued galloping towards the Valley of the Evil.
