lord and beauty

It's night, Jiang Mansion, Banqiu Pavilion.

There were candles in the house, Jiang Beimu stood in front of the wooden cabinet, bent down and took two underwear, threw them on the bed, and said in a low voice: "This is new and hasn't been worn yet, let's spend the night first." .”

Tan Qiu held the baby in his arms and coaxed him softly, walking back and forth in the room with his arms lightly shaking. Hearing this, he nodded to Jiang Beimu and said with his mouth: "I know."

Jiang Beimu nodded and said, "Then I'll go wash up first."

Tan Qiu hugged the baby who was finally put to sleep in his arms and nodded to Jiang Beimu, then pointed to the baby's head, indicating "the baby is asleep."

Jiang Beimu didn't know whether to laugh or not when he saw Tan Qiu's airy appearance and didn't dare to breathe, so he shook his head helplessly, turned around, opened the door and left.

The moment the bedroom door opened and closed, the night wind rushed in, and Tan Qiuyi shivered as if ice had been poured into his neck. The baby in his arms kicked his legs as if he felt something. Put it gently on a wooden frame bed.

By the time the two of them finished washing, the red candle had already burned more than half.

Tan Qiu lay in the inner bed, feeling anxious for a moment, Jiang Beimu lay sideways beside him, each of them covered with a quilt, Jiang Beimu was sleeping with his back to him, breathing steadily, almost audible in the darkness .

Tan Qiu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Although Jiang Beimu agreed to sleep in the same room with him, his attitude towards him seemed to be the same as before.But now Tan Qiu lost that patience like ants on a hot pot.

After all, he was the one who opened the mouth and asked Jiang Beimu to give him three days.Now that day is approaching, although he can pretend to start counting from tomorrow, if Jiang Beimu is determined to send him away, Tan Qiu can't hold on to the pillars at the gate of Jiang's residence.

Tan Qiu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, but Jiang Beimu beside him was as steady as Mount Tai.

Just when Tan Qiu was hesitating whether to rush up and hug Jiang Beimu to confess his feelings, a distant and clear flute sound came, blowing into the room with the night wind.

The sound of the flute was soothing and melodious. Tan Qiu felt vaguely familiar when he heard the minor tune, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.While Tan Qiu was listening intently, Jiang Beimu who was beside him suddenly moved slightly.

Tan Qiudeng was startled, and when his head got hot, he stepped forward and gently wrapped his arms around Jiang Beimu's shoulders.

The moment the skins of the two touched, the two bodies involuntarily tensed up at the same time, like two pieces of wood sticking together.

"This... who is playing the flute?" Tan Qiu asked softly in order to ease the embarrassment. After speaking, his heart beat wildly, wondering what Jiang Beimu would say.

"It's Zhou Zhang." Jiang Beimu replied in a low voice.

The two were worried about the baby and dared not talk loudly, so Tan Qiu took advantage of the situation and asked, "How can the master be sure it's him?"

Jiang Beimu was silent for a moment this time, and just when Tan Qiu regretted that he had asked the wrong question, Jiang Beimu replied: "He is good at instrumental music, and the piece he played was also the very famous "Watching the Moon" in the capital. 'A song."

Tan Qiu said "oh", and the sound of the flute outside the house was quiet. It seemed that there was a strange magic power that made him feel drowsy, but Tan Qiu didn't want to miss this great opportunity, so he leaned on Jiang Beimu's back and softened his voice Said: "Does the master still want to drive me away?"

"It's not rushing." Jiang Beimu seemed a little helpless when he heard the words, sighed softly, and said, "The target of the Di clan's revenge this time is me. If you leave now, they will not trouble you, not to mention Zhou Zhang's martial arts You can rest assured that he will protect you from harm."

Tan Qiu knew that he couldn't change Jiang Beimu's thoughts now, so he had to make a detour and change the subject and asked, "Where is Zhou Zhang from? Is he also a former colleague of the master? The way he looks at me today is so strange." .”

"You don't have to be afraid of Zhou Zhang. Although he looks cold, he is actually kind. Besides, my grievances with him will not embarrass you." Jiang Beimu said a few words of relief in a soft voice.

Tan Qiu couldn't say anything when he heard the words, so he let out a muffled "Oh", and gently stroked his clothes with his hands around Jiang Beimu's shoulders, feeling a little distracted for a while.

However, Jiang Beimu's heart itch was aroused by the seemingly invisible touch on his shoulder. He quickly turned around, put down Tan Qiu's hand calmly, and lay on his back on the bed.

Tan Qiu didn't notice Jiang Beimu's movements. He wrapped his fingertips around a strand of his hair and twirled it. The words came to his mouth several times but then swallowed. His star-like eyes looked at Jiang Beimu in the darkness. side profile in a daze.

For a long time, until the sound of the flute in the outer room paused, Jiang Beimu turned over again as if falling asleep, Tan Qiu finally couldn't help it, clutching the quilt tightly with one hand, and asked slowly: "Master's original wife... people."

Tan Qiu originally thought that Jiang Beimu would be silent for a while before answering him, but Jiang Beimu replied shortly after he finished speaking: "I don't remember."

Tan Qiudeng was a little dumbfounded.

Can not remember? !What is this answer.

"Is the master angry?" Tan Qiu was cautious.

Jiang Beimu sighed, but he didn't answer Tan Qiu's words directly. Instead, he asked, "Tan Qiu, you don't know anything about me."

Tan Qiu didn't expect Jiang Beimu to make a sudden attack, and opened his mouth to argue, but suddenly realized that what Jiang Beimu said was true. He really didn't understand Jiang Beimu, even if he knew Fu He, all he knew was Jiang Beimu was a general of the Yuan Dynasty before.

But that doesn't count as understanding either.

Tan Qiu didn't know what Jiang Beimu meant by saying that, but felt all sorts of grievances welling up in his heart.

"What does the master mean by this? Are you angry? I just casually asked about my wife..."

Jiang Beimu laughed helplessly, "I didn't mean to blame you."

"Look, you don't know me, you don't know what life I lived in the past, and how many enemies I have."

"The Di clan is just one of them. I have tens of thousands of lives in my hands. My life is completely different from yours before. The Di clan is just the beginning. I can't predict how many people will come after hearing the news. I can't guarantee that I will I can always keep you safe."

Jiang Beimu's voice was like an ancient clock in the dark night, shaking Tan Qiu's heart ache.

"I don't know you, but master, you never thought of telling me. Look, master, can you tell me where my hometown is and the names of my family."

Tan Qiu gasped for breath, watching Jiang Beimu who was standing next to him, gasping for breath.

"I like the master, I am willing to face these people, even if I have to die by their sword one day, I will never regret it."

"And..." Tan Qiu said up to this point, his voice suddenly quieted down, his tongue brushed his dry lips, and his tone slowed down: "I know who the master is, the master is the general of the Yuan Dynasty, isn't it? what?"

The two insisted on each other's arguments, and Tan Qiu stretched out his hand, supported the bed with his forearm, raised his upper body, and looked at Jiang Beimu like a torch.

Jiang Beimu didn't seem to be surprised, he was always calm, and just smiled and shook his head when he heard the words, "The general is just a name, and I have left the capital long ago, but since you know that I used to be such a person, then you also You can guess how many people I have killed."

"Furthermore, the general is Jiang Ji. And I am Jiang Beimu. The two have nothing to do with each other." Jiang Beimu said softly, "I have become a useless person since the battle of Naluoduo Mountain. I can't even use a knife. It doesn't necessarily mention the earthquake, so I can't guarantee that I can keep you safe."

"Master's right hand was injured." Tan Qiu recalled the discomfort in Jiang Beimu's wrist after the two sparred at Xiao Ye, and said with almost certainty, "Does it have something to do with that assassin?"

"It has something to do with the Di clan, not her." Jiang Beimu said lightly, "My right hand was once broken. Fortunately, Master Fu He rescued me, so I was able to save this hand, but I couldn't get it back again. In the old days, my right hand was deprived, and I was almost no different from a crippled person. I originally wanted to find a place to spend the rest of my life, and after much deliberation, I came to Sifang City. I just have nothing to do and do business."

"I'm not afraid." Seeing that Jiang Beimu's attitude had eased, Tan Qiu quickly softened his tone, leaned over again, rested his head on Jiang Beimu's left shoulder, and whispered, "As long as the master doesn't drive me away , let me do anything."

Jiang Beimu stopped arguing with Tan Qiu, only reached out and patted Tan Qiu's back, coaxing: "It's getting late, go to bed first."

Tan Qiu seemed to have punched the cotton with a fist, so he sighed secretly and fell asleep with his pillow on Jiang Beimu's shoulder.

The next morning.

When Tan Qiu woke up, there was no one beside her. Tan Qiu suddenly got up cleverly, and reached out to touch the bed sheet on one side. The touch was cold, obviously she had been away for a long time.

Tan Qiu hurriedly got off the bed with her clothes in her arms, ran to the side of the crib to look, and found that the baby on the crib had disappeared, Tan Qiu was horrified, once bitten by a snake for ten years, she was afraid of well ropes, and always felt like she was beside her. Someone is watching in the dark.

"Zheng'er! Master!" Tan Qiu quickly put on his shirt, and without looking back, he pulled it away to rush out, but stopped the moment he took a step.

The sun was just right outside, and the baby and the nanny in the yard were squatting in the corner of a flower garden, digging soil with a small shovel, looking very happy.

Hearing Tan Qiu's voice, the baby immediately dropped the shovel and turned to Tan Qiu with a silly smile, and ran towards the house with short legs.

Tan Qiu's gripped heart immediately relaxed, he knelt down and hugged the baby into his arms, and reached out to stroke his soft hair.

"Mother."

The baby pursed his red mouth and gave a sweet cry. Tan Qiu smiled and patted the baby's head, and kissed him on the forehead.Then he handed him over to the nanny who followed.

"Do you know where the master has gone?"

The nurse took the baby skillfully, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Tan Qiu nodded slightly when he heard the words, and didn't say much. He just ordered to play with the baby, and then tightened his clothes to find Jiang Beimu.

As soon as Clinker took a few steps, before reaching the gate of the courtyard, a hard object was hit on the head suddenly, and a slight tingling sensation was felt. Tan Qiudeng was furious and turned his head angrily.

But Zhou Zhang was dressed in black, sitting on the eaves, with two long legs straddling his sides, holding a few small stones in his hands, looking at Tan Qiu with a little playfulness in his eyes.
