flapping wings

Wringing out a wet towel and applying it to Qi Ping's eyes, Mu Xiaoque warmed his hands in the water before picking up the cloth towel and scrubbing him.

"Queer," Qi Ping leaned comfortably on the side of the tub, and asked, "How are you doing? I almost died of fright when I heard that the assassin was going to be arrested in the middle of the night."

"At that time, Qian Mian and I were in the third son's study. To be honest, the little girl's cry startled both of us, and then we heard footsteps coming towards the study," Mu Xiaoque recalled: "Fortunately, Qianmian and I found a secret passage inside, and the moment they came in, we jumped down. This secret passage leads to a shop selling antiques not far from the third prince's mansion. of."

"This can be considered luck," Qi Ping sighed, "No one would have thought that there would be a little girl going there for a tryst in the middle of the night."

Mu Xiaoque wondered, "Why did you find the body there?"

Qi Ping took off the wet towel in an instant, his eyeballs shook restlessly in their sockets, "Didn't you kill them?"

"No, there was no one there when we went." Mu Xiaoque took the cold towel and soaked it in ice water for a while before wringing it out. "I thought there would be no clues in that study, if it wasn't blocked later. Inside, it is estimated that the secret passage will not be found."

"Who killed that?" Qi Ping took the wet towel and only covered one eye, while the other looked at Mu Xiaoque, with some seriousness inside, "Could that person be thinking about Yu Ruyi in the hands of the third prince?" Right? Can you think of who it is?"

"Totally unexpected," Mu Xiaoque shook her head, "I am afraid that Shi Qing is the only one who knows that the Wusurname Clan is related to the third prince, except us, but Shi Qing must know that the last piece of jade Ruyi has been destroyed."

"Won't there be another black hand behind the scenes?" Qi Ping frowned worriedly, and slid into the water, "In fact, there is indeed a low-key organization. Until now, we don't know what their purpose is. !"

Mu Xiaoque replied: "Beishan?"

"Yes," Qi Ping poured water on his shoulders, and the water flowed down his smooth skin. He repeated this action unconsciously, thinking: "I even suspect that their ambitions are greater than those of the No Name Sect."

"It's always showing off," Mu Xiaoque rubbed Qi Ping's hair, the saponins exuded a faint plant fragrance from his fingertips, he comforted, "As long as there is a movement, there will always be traces."

Qi Ping nodded clearly: "What shall we do next?"

"I'm afraid I have to show up. Although the secret letter said to set off on another day, I can't be too presumptuous." Mu Xiaoque scooped up a ladle full of water to wash the foam off Qi Ping's head, "You stay here How about it? Let's take turns to guard the shop, I'll be in the dark, and you will change shifts during the day."

"No, bah," Qi Ping took a sip of shampoo, he bah bah a few times, grabbed Mu Xiaoque's wrist with his hand back, and said angrily, "I want to be with you."

"Mine is very dangerous, it's full of eyeliner." Mu Xiaoque covered Qi Ping's mouth, poured water on his pocket again, and didn't give him a chance to refute, "So you just went to my place." , and I can’t sleep in the same room with me, let alone hold hands, kiss.”

Qi Ping opened his mouth to bite his hand, raised his head to avoid his hand, ignored the water splashed on his face, and said calmly: "I don't care, I will follow you."

Mu Xiaoque put down the ladle, patted Qi Ping's forehead, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

It was already evening when they woke up the next day, the four of them had finished their meal and exchanged information with each other, Mu Xiaoque explained the next actions clearly, and then led Qi Ping to her home.

Qi Ping said dissatisfied: "We both have a private life, and I can be regarded as the other owner of this wooden mansion. I didn't expect to be sneaky. This world is too unfriendly."

"Shut up, we're here," Mu Xiaoque reached out and touched his forehead, then grabbed the iron ring on the door and slammed on the door.

"Who is it?" A rough voice sounded from the door, cursing, "Do you know where this is? If you see the signboard, get out of here!"

Qi Ping looked at Mu Xiaoque contemptuously, "Why are you so arrogant and domineering, you are worse than the devil!"

"This is the emperor's man," Mu Xiaoque helplessly rubbed Qi Ping's head, and said solemnly with a little internal strength: "I!"

"Oh my god, master is back?" The door slammed open from the inside, and a short, muscular middle-aged man came out. Seeing Mu Xiaoque's serious expression under the lantern, he plopped down on his knees, "Master, am I not talking about you."

Mu Xiaoque asked coldly: "Then who are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's true that there are always things that don't have eyesight coming to the house to make troubles recently, which annoys us." The man looked at Mu Xiaoque's expression, and cried, "I beg the master to investigate clearly."

"Go away," Mu Xiaoque kicked him away, before Qi Ping stepped into the door, and ordered: "Clean a room for this young master next to my bedroom."

Qi Ping nodded towards the man, walked into the courtyard and looked around curiously, he saw that there were not many servants in Mu Xiaoque's mansion, and the decoration inside was quite simple, it didn't mean home at all.

"Mr. Qi, how are you?" Mu Xiaoque led the way, and turned his head slightly to look at Qi Ping who was very interested. "Whatever you want to eat, what you want, you can tell the servants, you don't have to be restrained."

Qi Ping ran to Mu Xiaoque, covered her mouth and smiled secretly, "Oh, then can I eat candied haws?"

Mu Xiaoque looked at him for a moment and nodded, then turned her head and said, "Go and arrange for Mr. Qi."

Waiting to see the servant's shadow again, Qi Ping asked in a low voice: "Where are we going?"

"Study," Mu Xiaoque rubbed her forehead with a headache, "I have to write a letter and bring it to court tomorrow."

Qi Ping hooked Mu Xiaoque's finger dishonestly, and laughed like a little fox licking honey, he looked left and right, and then bumped into Mu Xiaoque's shoulder, "How long will it take for them to know you're back? "

Mu Xiaoque calculated in her heart, and gave a conservative figure, "No more than half an hour."

The doorman who opened the study let Qi Ping in, with ashes splashing on his face, Qi Ping coughed from choking, he waved his hand and said angrily: "What's going on? Don't they clean it?"

"Maybe they sent the cleaning servants to do other things." Mu Xiaoque patted Qi Ping on the shoulder: "They didn't dare to do this when I was in the mansion. This time it might be because I came back suddenly and they didn't prepare in advance."

Qi Ping twisted his body and poked his head out, cursing: "Fucking people came over and wiped the study room, if you don't clean up a cup of tea, get out of here!"

Mu Xiaoque patted Qi Ping's ass back, walked to the bookshelf and searched for it, obviously he was used to this kind of situation in the mansion, after a long while, he threw the book he found to Qi Ping, proudly said: "You Ever seen something like this?"

Qi Ping turned to the first page in a daze, and saw a man and a woman fighting on the bed. He couldn't help feeling that his wife was really innocent, and said casually, "I've seen the movie!"

"What movie?" Mu Xiaoque's elation turned into disappointment, she thought it would shock Qi Ping, but she didn't expect that after hearing what the other party said, she had seen something of a higher level.

Qi Ping raised his eyebrows, and said a little wretchedly: "It's the live version of two people fighting, and you can see the action."

Mu Xiaoque's face twisted slightly, obviously a little shocked by such immoral behavior, which made the thousand-year-old cold face a lot more vivid, "Disgusting! Shameless!"

"You're disgusting, as if you haven't used this trick yourself." Qi Ping glanced at the servant cleaning beside him, stopped talking, and asked instead: "Then why are you looking at this? You don't Do it yourself, just rely on imagination?"

"Take it as learning," Mu Xiaoque covered her lips and coughed, then said in a low voice, "I've used it before, on you."

Qi Ping lowered his head and turned backwards, groaning, and saw that in the picture, a villain squeezed the other into the corner and beat him, he said in surprise: "This is not the one that was given to me two days ago. trick?"

Mu Xiaoque turned a few pages back, and on it was a villain kneeling on the bed, being beaten from behind by another villain, "This is the same."

Qi Ping flipped a page casually, and happened to see a villain laying on the bed of another villain, not knowing what he was doing, "Then why don't you learn this trick?"

"Disgusting!" Mu Xiaoque turned her head, her face completely wrinkled, and said via voice transmission: "That's where Da Gong came out."

Qi Ping couldn't help laughing, he could feel the shock of the other party through the sound transmission, he leaned against Mu Xiaoque and whispered: "Then the front is still where Xiao Gong came out!"

"Because you are unhappy, I want to coax you," Mu Xiaoque continued to transmit voice: "If it weren't for you, I would have castrated him."

Qi Ping cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Don't mention this, you've had a lot of fun!"

"You've already washed it," Mu Xiaoque scratched her head, sighed and compromised, "If you want to be licked, I can do it too."

"A few times you were in a hurry, and I didn't wash it." Qi Ping blushed, turned around and said embarrassedly: "I promise to wash it in the future."

"My lord," a disharmonious voice suddenly broke into this private space. Qi Ping looked back and saw that it was the man who opened the door. take you there?"

"No need..."

"Yes," Qi Ping interrupted Mu Xiaoque, nodded back to him, waved the book in his hand, blinked and said: "Commander Mu, I will go back and study the moves in it, and someday I will definitely fight with you." Ask for advice, and don't forget your promise."

Mu Xiaoque knew Qi Ping's intentions in an instant, he nodded, and said via voice transmission, "Be careful, don't be fooled."

Qi Ping nodded calmly, and when he walked to the door, he warned: "There is still half a cup of tea time, and the study can't be cleaned, so I'll pack up my fucking bag and get out, housekeeper, and get out with me." ! Spending money to support you bunch of trash!"

Seeing the speed of those people's instant increase, he glared, raised his chin at Mu Xiaoque, and followed the man out.

Just walked a few steps away, the man asked: "How did the young master and my master meet? The relationship looks really good. The master is finally no longer alone, and the villain is happy for him."

Looking at his figure leading the way, Qi Ping wanted to stretch out his feet and kick over. He didn't know what Mu Xiaoque's life was like, his home was not like a home, and he had only left for a few days, and he didn't even clean up his study.

Qi Ping didn't answer his question, but said in a bad tone: "This is the first time I've heard that a slave came to ask about the master."

The man glanced back slightly: "Young master, don't blame me, it's just that the master hasn't come back for a long time, and the villain was worried for a while, so he became anxious."

Qi Ping caught the loopholes in his words, and asked in a harsh tone: "From what you mean, do I look like a villain?"

"My lord wrongly blamed the villain," the man said with a sneer, "That's not what the villain meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Qi Ping held on to this question and asked, "Mu Xiaoque is not missing an arm or a leg, so the only thing you are worried about is me of unknown origin, right?"

The man stopped, turned around and glanced at Qi Ping, bowed and said, "Forgive me, my lord, I dare not think so."

"That's even more strange, it's so good, I just heard about the master," Qi Ping put on a puzzled expression, and after a while, he seemed to realize something, slammed down the book, and asked in a dangerous tone: "Could it be that someone lives in the "Mufu" and his heart is in the "Caoying"?"

The man raised his head in an instant, looked at him dangerously, and warned: "Master, do you think that the surname of "Mufu" is Mu? Just to remind you, don't be unscrupulous just because you have a commander behind you, this "Mufu" It’s not up to him to decide.”

"Whether Mu Xiaoque has the final say, I don't know, I just know it must not be you," Qi Ping stepped on the tail of his words in an instant, and slapped the book in his hand twice, Angrily said: "It doesn't matter who is behind the back, you slave has no reason to climb on the master's head to pee!"

Looking at the man's gloomy face, Qi Ping grinned, "I don't care how Mu Xiaoque treats you all, but I want to remind you that even if I draw my sword and kill you, no one will The life and death of the servant, come and punish me at the risk of offending Mu Xiaoque."

The man lowered his head, Qi Ping couldn't see his expression, but he expected it would definitely not look good.

He flicked his fingers against the blade of the sword deliberately, and the crisp metallic sound wafted through the empty path, which sounded very pleasant to the ear, but in the eyes of some people, they felt that it was a magical sound that could kill people.

Qi Ping saw the man's quivering sleeves, and he took another half step forward, full of coercion and power.

thump!

The man bent his knees and knelt down towards him, knocked his head on the floor tiles three times, and said tremblingly, "My lord, spare me."

It wasn't until the man was shaking that he couldn't hold it anymore that Qi Ping let him go and said loudly: "Lead the way!"
