The worst is the next cousin

After entering the room, Mu Canshang didn't sleep at all. Sitting on the bed, he still looked weak, but he was much better than the previous few days.

"Your subordinate said you were going to take a nap." Mao Xiaofei teased.

Tong Yi's voice was so loud, it's impossible that Mu Canshang didn't hear him, maybe he just wanted to see his response.

"I originally planned that if you couldn't deal with it, I would be a hero to save the beauty." Mu Canshang came down to the table, and when he came over, Mao Xiaofei poured two cups of tea and pushed one of them in front of Mu Canshang.

"It seems that I deprived you of your chance to be a hero."

"That's not it, how do you compensate me?" Mu Canshang scrambled down and slid his hands along Mao Xiaofei's back to his waist.

Mao Xiaofei glanced at him, put down the teacup, and stared at Mu Canshang with focused eyes. It was the afternoon, and the bright sunlight shone on Mu Canshang's face, with less stubborn coldness and more tenderness.

Maybe feelings can really change people. It unconsciously changes the things people care about, the future they want, and even the temperament of the whole person.

Mao Xiaofei stretched out his arm unceremoniously, hooked Mu Canshang's neck, their faces were almost touching, he smiled, the smile was full of evil.

Mu Canshang's eyes widened slightly, and his heart was beating fast.

I've never seen Mao Xiaofei like this before.

"Make it up to you." Mao Xiaofei said with a smile, and put his lips together. It was not a shy kiss, not a lip-to-mouth child's game. He unceremoniously pried open Mu Canshang's lips, In his mouth, he tasted the inexhaustible taste of the medicine, bitter and astringent. The taste was not very good, and the tip of his tongue nimbly swept over the neat row of lower teeth.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Canshang turned from defense to offense, and grabbed the back of Mao Xiaofei's neck. Between lips and tongue, no one showed weakness.When the ebb and flow of passionate kisses separated, their lips were a little red and swollen.

Mao Xiaofei squinted his eyes and smiled: "That's right, you should eat a piece of candied fruit after drinking the medicine next time, Yanjin plums are good."

Mu Canshang stared at him deeply without speaking.

"What were you talking about just now? That, Tong Yi, seems very angry." Mao Xiaofei avoided Mu Canshang's eyes and drank another cup of tea, "Your tea here is good, why does it seem that you are treated better than us?" Mao Xiaofei whispered Mumbling, it is true that the things used by Mu Canshang here are better than those in other people's rooms, and they were not there when Mao Xiaofei lived in, at least the half-person-high enamel bottle with faint blue luster placed in the corner has never been used by Mao Xiaofei. seen.

"Si Kou Xiangbing knows my identity, so naturally he should show some respect." Mu Can said, "Brother Xiaofei, or you can move here and live with me."

"That won't work. My brothers live in a poorer place. What's the matter if I move here alone to live with you?" After Jin Su died, Ye Jintian fell ill. As Ye Jintian's nominal apprentice, Mao Xiaofei's burden became even heavier.

"They're not your brothers."

"For the time being, by the way, I just came to tell you about this." Mao Xiaofei said that he would leave in a few days and let Mu Canshang go with him.

"What? Do you have other plans?" Mao Xiaofei played with a teacup, plain white porcelain, pure and flawless, without any blemishes.

Mu Shenshang was a little embarrassed.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Mao Xiaofei stood up, with nothing to see in his expression.

But Mu Canshang grabbed him, "Brother Xiaofei, are you angry?"

"No, I still have a lot of things to arrange." Mao Xiaofei forced his lips into a smile, his lips were still red and conspicuous, and it looked like a silent invitation, which made Mu Canshang's throat tighten.

"We have to leave within five days. There are other things, and the antidote has not been obtained. If you don't go back with me, I will go to the Qinglong Gang first. When you come back, I will go to me again. I will write about the place. Here you are. You have an injury on your body, so it’s good to take care of it for a few more days, isn’t it all good?” Mao Xiaofei pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and deliberately patted Mu Canshang’s injury.

Mu Canshang didn't wrinkle his eyebrows, he just grabbed Mao Xiaofei's hand and didn't let go.

"Let go, there are really other things."

"Didn't you come to take a nap with me? I haven't slept yet." Mu Canshang said aggrievedly.

"I told you to refresh my mind after a conversation, and I'm not sleepy anymore. I have to buy some things in Jielin. I see that there are many interesting things on the street, as well as herbs. There are so many types of poisonous insects here that you can't imagine, Jin Chen I should like it, but he is too poor now, and all the money is with me."

"Why are you thinking about him?" Mu Canshang said dissatisfied.

"He's my younger brother, so of course I have to think about it. I still owe him a lot of wages."

"How much, I'm out!" Mu Canshang straightened his neck, raised his head, and was facing Mao Xiaofei's expression that seemed to be a half-smile.

"I can't let you out."

After Mao Xiaofei slowly pulled away Mu Canshang's hand, Mu Canshang realized that Mao Xiaofei's hands were so strong that he could easily escape from his grasp.Hearing the sound of closing the door, the corners of Mu Canshang's mouth twitched stiffly, and he vigorously swept all the tea trays and cups on the table to the ground and smashed them to pieces.

In the afternoon of the second day, Mao Xiaofei finally met Si Kou Xiangbing. In Si Kou Xiangbing's private courtyard, the maid asked Mao Xiaofei to wait outside and brought some refreshments.

The colorful pastries were different from what Shang Qi was used to, and they smelled delicious, but Mao Xiaofei just didn't have an appetite, so he sat on the chair for a while.

The bead curtains collided and made a slight sound.

Si Kou Xiangbing came out while wiping his hands with a wet handkerchief. The moment he saw Mao Xiaofei, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was carefully looking at this inconspicuous little person.

"You can leave, Mu Shenshang and the others, but you can't go with you." Si Kou Xiangbing said bluntly, his eyes flashed ambiguously, and his voice was lowered, "Or, you can wait a few more days, so that Then you can walk together, and you can also ride in a carriage together on the road. The king will order someone to prepare a car as large and comfortable as possible for you. The journey is long, and you must want to have more space for getting along in the car. This carriage It can meet all your needs, even if you make some noise, you can't hear it clearly from outside."

Surprised by Si Kou Xiangbing's ambiguous hint, it took Mao Xiaofei a while to realize what he was talking about.

Si Kou Xiangbing was very clear about everything that happened in this mansion, even everyone.Mao Xiaofei suddenly felt that he had underestimated the Jielin people.

Si Kou Xiangbing smiled kindly, and raised one of his hands as a sign of friendship.

"No other meaning, General Mu is my distinguished guest, and you are his best friend... good brother." Si Kou Xiangbing coughed dryly, the corners of his mouth still maintaining an elegant arc, "If you need anything, just ask. "

"Just mention it?" Mao Xiaofei tapped his fingers on the table twice.

"Yes." Si Kou Xiangbing was still smiling.

"Then our people will set off the day after tomorrow. I want to ask the prince to arrange someone to choose some good horses with me. After all, the journey is long." Mao Xiaofei slowed down his speech, almost keeping the same speed as Si Kou Xiangbing lowered his voice just now, " You are now restricting horse trading, and with the help of the prince, things will be much easier."

Si Kou Xiangbing choked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and agreed.

Back in the room, Mao Xiaofei called everyone to his room, not Ye Jintian, but Shu Tong.

"Si Kou Xiangbing has promised to let us set off back to Shangqi the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, officials from Jielin will come and take everyone to pick horses. Tang Miao."

Tang Miao moved her straight eyebrows dully, as if she was lost in thought.

"Are you going to join us, or go back to the Wulen tribe?"

Everyone was staring at Tang Miao, he had never been watched by so many people at the same time, his palms sweated, his neck shrunk, he swallowed, and he stared.

After a while, I heard the boy's extremely dry voice: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Mao Xiaofei said seriously: "Then think about it tonight, and tell me tomorrow." Then, when Mao Xiaofei's eyes naturally fell on Xun Chi who was not far from Tang Miao, Xun Chi shook his head and said, "I'm talking to Ye Jintian. ,the reason is simple……"

"What about you two brothers?" Mao Xiaofei asked Brother Bo Shanxi.

Xun Chi: "..." Cursing his lips, he returned to his unscrupulous appearance, and everyone here counted him as the most unscrupulous, his robes could never be fastened, revealing a large piece of bronze-colored chest muscles, very beautiful.

"I'll follow you." Bo Shanxi replied quickly, turning his head to look at his brother, "Brother, you decide where you want to go, don't let me hold you back this time."

Bo Shanjue did not hesitate for a moment, and directly said to Mao Xiaofei: "Then I will follow you."

"Brother." Bo Shanxi's eye circles were slightly red.

Bo Shanjue, on the other hand, smiled warmly and gracefully. He stretched out a hand and spread it in front of Bo Shanxi.

Bo Shanxi's eyes flickered, and finally he put his hand in his brother's palm, and the two brothers held each other's hands tightly.

"Yu Qing."

The young man who had been sitting sullenly, lowered his head.

Mao Xiaofei raised his volume and yelled again.

Yu Qing moved all over and raised her head in a daze.

After Jin Su's death, Yu Qing, a young man who was not very conspicuous, became more and more silent.Mao Xiaofei couldn't even remember that he hadn't seen him for a few days, it seemed that he hadn't seen him much since he came back from Taoquan Mountain.

"What are your plans? If you continue to work for the Qinglong Gang, after arriving in Shangqi territory, you can follow your young master, or you can follow me. My destination is Qingxi, or you can establish your own family. As you If you have the ability to survive until now, it is no problem to find a job in Shangqi or Qingxi." Mao Xiaofei said.

"I..." Yu Qing frowned for a moment. This question was too embarrassing for him. In the past, there was a tall and indifferent figure in front of him, but now that figure disappeared from the world together with people.Yu Qing's lips trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said sadly: "I will go back with the young master."

Mao Xiaofei nodded, and turned to Shu Tong, who had been listening quietly, with a trace of confusion on his white and round face.

"You guys go back first, pack up and get ready, and we will set off in the morning of the day after tomorrow. By the way, don't forget to choose horses tomorrow morning, stay in the mansion after breakfast and don't go out." After Mao Xiaofei ordered, he sent a few children out.Xun Chi was the last one. When he went out, he squinted his eyes like a fox.

Mao Xiaofei hated his look a little bit, as if he had seen through everything, and in front of Xun Chi, he slammed the door on his face before feeling relieved.

Shu Tong was sitting upright, the single stool was a bit too big for his current body, his dark eyes rolled as Mao Xiaofei walked over.

Finally turned his head, facing Mao Xiaofei, Mao Xiaofei also sat down, bent over, at eye level with Shu Tong.

"How is Ye Jintian these two days?"

Facing Mao Xiaofei's extremely serious gaze, Shu Tong understood what he meant: he wanted to know Ye Jintian's mental state, and it was true.

"Not very good." Shu Tong bit his lips and said, "He doesn't like to talk, sometimes he sleeps all day, and he also lies on the bed when he wakes up."

"You should lie down more to recuperate." Xu Qi said.

"As long as he was awake, no matter what the situation, he always bullied me."

"Now he doesn't bully you, aren't you used to it?" Jin Chen raised his eyebrows and joked.

Shu Tong blushed a little, glared at Jin Chen angrily, suppressed his embarrassment and continued: "Brother, you shouldn't have given him that letter."

Mao Xiaofei was stunned.

Shu Tong went on to say: "He read the letter, and he felt something was wrong. Maybe Ye Jintian and Jin Su are not just master-servant. They practice martial arts together under Ye Bajiang's hands. It should be from when Ye Jintian was young, Just stay by his side. Although you can't see anything on weekdays, Ye Jintian's collapse now can explain the problem."

There was a brief silence.

Mao Xiaofei looked at his fingers, his fingers looked much stronger and rougher now.He stared at his hand and didn't look at Shutong, and after a long while, he said slowly: "You know why, Jin Su deliberately wanted to kill Ye Jintian and took him up the mountain, but he even carried the jade pendant that Ye Jintian also had on his body, and he also brought the important letter. Confidential, a letter that absolutely should not be discovered by anyone."

"why?"

Mao Xiaofei took a deep breath, and then looked at him, "He knew he was likely to die. That jade pendant might be his life-saving talisman, but he didn't take it out. I don't understand why he didn't beg for mercy. Given the friendship between Ye Jintian and him , if he had taken out the jade pendant at that time, he would not have died. But he just carried it on his body, including the letter. Maybe he was betting that if no one buried him, the things he carried would not be buried Discover."

Shu Tong clenched his small fist.

"Maybe disturbing Ye Jintian's mind, but he will figure it out, it just takes a little time. You need to give this time." Mao Xiaofei lowered his head, "I made my own decision, please forgive me."

Shu Tong bit his lip, gritted his teeth and said, "It's impossible for Jin Su to like Ye Jintian, right?"

Mao Xiaofei shrugged his shoulders, "No one knows. I don't know either. Maybe Ye Jintian knows. But maybe it's because of the love for learning together. You don't have any love for learning arts with others?"

Shu Tong was silent for a while, jumped off the stool, and said angrily: "He's a pervert, whoever likes him, I won't like perverts!"

"..." Before Shu Tong slammed the door out, Mao Xiaofei called him to stop him and asked him to tell Ye Jintian that Yu Qing and Xun Chi would follow them.

Shu Tong sighed, his eyes softened again: "I'll find a suitable time to talk to him, I guess he won't bother, can't you follow us?"

"Only Ye Bajiang and Ye Jintian, father and son, are present, and things will be simpler."

"Then when will I bring you the antidote?" Shu Tong asked while holding the door frame, one foot had already stepped out of the door.

"Isn't there still half a year left? You can pass the letter to me at any time, and I will find you before the poison occurs."

Even though we will meet again tomorrow, and we have to go together on the way back to Shangqi from Jielin, Mao Xiaofei still speaks clearly to avoid getting involved in other things.

Xu Qi, who had been watching and listening quietly, patted Shu Tong on the shoulder after Mao Xiaofei sent him away, his eyes sparkled.

"Don't praise me." Mao Xiaofei interrupted him preparedly, and only showed his fatigue in front of Xu Qi and Jin Chen, two "people of his own".

His mind was actually very confused, and he kept thinking about what Mu Canshang was hiding. How did he make it clear that this young man started committing crimes again? No matter what was being concealed, this feeling was always uncomfortable.Mao Xiaofei sat down with a dejected expression, lay down on the table, and let out a long sigh of death.
