night snow full of clear branches

Unknowingly, it has been more than two months since I left the capital. Wei Xue probably missed me, so she specially dragged someone to send me a message, asking me to go back earlier.

"I thought you were going to live for a year or so before leaving." I always felt that there was something in my mother's words, but I didn't understand what it was.

"I'd like to stay for a year or so, but the emperor's order is hard to break." I said with a smile, but I didn't think it was so hard to break the emperor's order.

Before leaving, I suddenly remembered the matter of senior brother Min Tao, so I asked my mother casually.

The mother sighed helplessly and said, "He has already gone."

"Go?" I expressed doubts about this euphemistic statement, and always felt that I had heard it wrong.

Fortunately, I asked. If I didn't ask, I might never know that Senior Brother Min Tao died in front of his wife's tomb within a few months after leaving the palace.I heard that there were no wounds on his body when he died, and it didn't look like he was poisoned. He seemed to be asleep, and there was nothing scary about it.

"Perhaps it is predestined that he will leave with the one he loves."

"Really?" I didn't believe it from the bottom of my heart. If it was someone else, I might still believe that this was a sudden sudden death by fate, or that there was a sudden onset of some kind of illness, or even excessive sadness.

But the person who died happened to be Senior Brother Min Tao, and it happened to be Senior Brother Min Tao who had entered the palace to seek revenge for Wei Xue.

There are some things that I know in my heart without asking.

Some people, I know without asking.

I left Fuyu Mountain Villa with a heavy heart. I just passed a small town. Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, I suddenly felt a sense of relief, and a thought came to me spontaneously.

Sunshine can make the morning dew disappear, and it can also make the haze disperse, and the years can make the memory fade away. There are some things, no matter how much you want to let go, you have to let go.

I did not return to the palace, but chose to remain anonymous and disappeared.

As for the consequences after leaving, I have occasionally thought about it, no matter how bad it is, it is nothing more than Weixue finding Fuyu Villa, but no one knows my whereabouts, even if I find Fuyu Villa, so what.

Because I don't know where I'm going next.

I thought that according to Weixue's temperament, an arrest warrant must be issued, but in the past few months, I have been walking around and haven't seen any arrest warrants, and everything in Xuanguo is as usual.

When I came out, I still had a lot of silver on me, but with my level of squandering, it would not be long before I bottomed out, and suddenly I remembered what Wei Xue once said: Once you get rich, you will not be able to shake the sky.

After thinking about it, I can't go back to Fuyu Mountain Villa, Hang Xiu and Su Yan have no news, and many former friends from the rivers and lakes can't go back, what should I do...

I lay on the grass by the river and closed my eyes to meditate. I counted the people who could go to ask for help in my mind. When I traveled the rivers and lakes, it was Su Yan who was by my side and paid for everything. Now I really miss it.

It would be great if I could meet Su Yan again...

God may have pity on me, but not long after, I really met Su Yan.

However, the way we met made both of us dumbfounded.At that time, I came to a place called Yancheng. Yancheng was farther than Fenzhou. I thought it would take a long time to fly to get here even if I had wings.

Around noon, I went to a tea stall by the side of the road to sharpen, and fell asleep somehow, and when I woke up, I found myself bound hands and feet, my mouth was gagged, and I was packed in a burlap bag.

"This time the boat capsized in the gutter, it's too bad." There must be something wrong with the tea stand, so it seems that it is probably in collusion with human traffickers.

In the past, relying on his high martial arts skills, he seldom paid attention to these gangsters, but they are the most cunning, which caught people off guard.

I struggled several times, but failed to break free from the rope. It seemed that this was not an ordinary rope, and the baggage I was carrying was gone, let alone the green jade staff.

When he was in a state of desperation, there was a sound of pushing the door, presumably it was a trafficker.

Then I heard a man's voice saying, "There are quite a few people in this batch."

Another somewhat hoarse voice said again: "Just pick me a better quality one, and I have to send it to the buyer quickly."

"Better quality, okay! Let me think about it."

Then the sack that bound me was opened, and the sudden light made me blink, only to see a bearded man standing in front of me.

"how about this?"

"Okay, that's it, bring it to me tonight."

Not long after, the two closed the door and went out again, presumably to discuss the price.

I just stared blankly at myself being treated like a commodity and let them discuss it. Although I was very upset, I was helpless, but I was not in a hurry to run. Little boy, I really didn't pay attention.

Looking around, I found several other sacks, all of which seemed to be girls as unlucky as me.

Hey, you are lucky this time, you met me, I will definitely let you all go.

I didn't know how long I waited, and no one came in again. When I was getting impatient, the door opened again, but the sound was very soft, as if I came in secretly.

After this man came in, he opened one of the sacks next to me, and the relieved girl was very grateful to her benefactor.

"Don't talk about it now, go back quickly, your brother is still waiting for you to go home."

Who should I be? Such a familiar voice, isn't it the boy Su Yan!

Immediately afterwards I began to struggle, probably attracted by the movement from my side, Su Yan then came over and untied my bag, when he saw me, his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Ah Zhi, how did you get down to this point." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to click his tongue twice.

"What nonsense, quickly untie my rope."

"Does this seem like an attitude towards my benefactor? It's so bad." Su Yan quickly untied the rope on my body, and I patted my whole body, saying: "Even without you, I can still find a chance to leave."

"I said you, why are you still so arrogant after such a long time?"

"Where are the two traffickers? Are you done?"

Su Yan tossed his hair and said, "There are not just two of them, there are four or five of them, but luckily I am so wise and powerful, I knocked them all out."

I gave him a blank look, walked to other sacks, and let the other girls go. Some of them hadn't woken up yet, but Su Yan didn't feel sorry for them at all. He poured a ladle of water and woke them up directly. You must know that the weather has been terrible recently. It was chilly and the water was icy cold.

After releasing the people, Su Yan and I tied up several traffickers with ropes, put them in sacks and stuffed them with cloth.

"It's done!" Looking at the sacks under my feet, I am very proud, it can be regarded as my masterpiece.

I haven't seen Su Yan for a long time. He is dressed in plain cotton clothes, and the aura of a nobleman on his body has also faded a lot.

"You said why did you fall into the trap of a human trafficker? This is not like the Mu Qingzhi I know."

"That's a long story, who hasn't had bad luck yet." I patted Su Yan's shoulder, feeling a long-lost intimacy in my heart, "Don't call me Qingzhi from now on, the name Mu Qingzhi has disappeared from now on. "

"You won't do anything wrong, you just ran out when you were wanted."

"Can you think of something better?" I slapped Su Yan's head with my palm and gave him a contemptuous look.

"Then what's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly want to start another life." I suddenly want to live a little more freely, without having to follow the rules.

"You won't go back again?"

"No." I shook my head, seemingly firm, but actually not very firm in my heart.

"Then you come and live with me, Ah Hang and his wife are also here."

It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, when I was worried about having nowhere to turn to, I met Su Yan.According to Su Yan, he was originally looking for the daughter of an old man. After searching around, he finally found this trafficker's den. He didn't expect to meet me.

It turned out that the war between Xuanguo and Anguo was imminent, and Hang Xiu, who was originally in Anguo, came to Xuanguo to avoid the chaos. Hangxiu's wife brought the family's business with him, and now he has some foundations.

Su Yan asked me to hide outside the door before going back, saying that he wanted to surprise Hang Xiu.

I thought this idea was quite fun, so I agreed, and according to the agreed signal, I suddenly descended from the "sky" and landed in front of Hang Xiu.

Hang Xiu, who has always been calm and composed, was a little dumbfounded this time, and overjoyed, the three of them served good wine and talked about the past until midnight.

Hang Xiu introduced his wife to me, she is a shrewd and capable woman at first glance, it is very suitable for Hang Xiu who is not very in charge.

In order not to eat and drink for free, I strongly asked Hang Xiu to send me an errand, so Su Yan and I started our life of "handyman".

Su Yan and I hang out together all day long, and after a long time, it is inevitable that some people will make irresponsible remarks, such as the old housekeeper at home, so I discussed with my wife that Su Yan and I should be matched together.

Su Yan gave me a wink after hearing this, and I immediately took Su Yan's hand and said, "That's a good relationship. I have fallen in love with Brother Su for a long time."

Probably because he didn't expect me to say such a thing, Su Yan trembled all over, perhaps because of goosebumps.

After I got down, Su Yan stopped me and asked, "Why do you say that? If we really jumped into the Yellow River, we wouldn't be able to clean up."

I said sternly: "I actually have an idea, why don't we just get married, anyway, you like men and I like women, it's impossible for anything to happen, and our marriage can save a lot of other people's tongues."

I didn't feel it in the palace before, but once I got to the people, I realized that Su Yan and I are a kind of freak if we are not married, or we will be speculated about whether there is some hidden disease.

The corners of Su Yan's eyes twitched, and he said slowly: "It's a good idea, but you won't take this opportunity to treat me..."

It's a pity, before Su Yan could finish his sentence, I was hit on the head with a blow, making my eyes stare.Ever since the green jade stick was lost by the traffickers, I have no weapons, and now I am using a stick I picked up to beat Su Yan, which is not too thin...

For this stick, Su Yan ignored me for ten days.
