flapping wings

Duzhou City

The one-armed old man looked at the road marked on the map and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure they will take this road?"

"Sure!" Zhao Li said to the one-armed old man according to the emperor's explanation: "The arrest warrant has been posted in the town, and they will be strictly investigated when entering and leaving the city, so they will never enter the town to rest along the way. More importantly, The family of the boy surnamed Qi is in Mission Hills City."

"This road is obviously dangerous. It is impossible for Mu Yunyu not to have expected that we would send heavy soldiers to ambush," the one-armed old man asked, "If he is not a fool, he will definitely not return to Guanlan City, but hide elsewhere , wait for him for a year and a half."

"He will come back after sending people off, Zhao Aiqing, after following him for so long, you don't understand his nature at all, he is really dull," Zhao Li thought of the emperor's satisfied smile when he said "stupid", and didn't respond. The one-armed old man explained more.

"Also, there is only Mu Yunyu on the arrest warrant, and there is no need to mention the other person."

The one-armed old man frowned immediately: "You are bending the law for personal gain!"

Zhao Li said seriously to the one-armed old man: "This is the emperor's order, you have to disobey it!"

Hearing the word "Emperor", the one-armed old man followed suit, walked out of the study door and quickly ordered the action.

Zhao Li sat alone behind the desk, picked up a pen and began to write the memorial, he suddenly felt something was wrong when he wrote it, and when he looked back, he realized that he had written the sentence "crazy child" unknowingly.

"Fool," Zhao Li put down his pen and pinched the center of his brows, and casually threw the memorial into the brazier, "How many lives will be lost in sending this journey! In the end, the ending is the same, why don't you just get caught without a fight, that Qi His surname is a boy, and no one will care about him."

........................

In the dim night, Mu Xiaoque looked at the sleeping person in his arms, and stroked Qi Ping's face with trembling fingertips. He exhaled slightly, opened his mouth and said silently, "I'm sorry."

After running around for a whole day and night, it was only now that he finally had time to feel the earth-shaking changes, from a hunter to someone else's prey.

No, Mu Xiaoque shook his head. In this game, he has always been a prey, but from a beast that can be used to a lamb that needs to be slaughtered.

He let out a long breath of the stale air that was lingering in his heart, lowered his head and kissed the top of his relative Ping's head with reluctance.

Qi Ping suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him. He stretched out his arms and stroked the stubble on his chin. He curled his mouth and said with a smile, "Do you know? I love you the most."

Mu Xiaoque stared at him blankly for a moment, then laughed, "I know."

"It's good to know," Qi Ping arched slightly, retracted his arms, and continued to close his eyes, covering the ferocity inside that was eager to erupt like a wild beast. He said in his heart: "No one can snatch you away." Walk!"

Just when the two fell into silence again, an arrow shining with black light, against the background of white snow, quickly drilled through the hole in the door and attacked and killed the two people inside.

Mu Xiaoque hugged Qi Pingyuan and rolled around, and at the same time threw out the two copper coins that she had been holding in her fingertips, quickly got up and hugged Qi Ping and rushed out through the back window.

After two muffled grunts, an orange spark exploded in mid-air, almost lighting up a small piece of sky. Mu Xiaoque's footsteps suddenly paused, and he looked up at the still-unextinguished light in the sky, his eyes full of unbearable.

Qi Ping glanced at him, didn't say a word, just threw the broken silver in his hand towards the back window of the temple, he took Mu Xiaoque's hand, "Let's go!"

Mu Xiaoque glanced at Qi Ping, followed him and ran towards the distance. Behind them, there was a sudden boom in the temple, and the roof covered by weeds was blown away, and was quickly burned by flames. swallowed.

This is a trap that Qi Ping and the other two used up the last bit of supplies. They wanted to surprise the pursuers, but they were detonated by Qi Ping ahead of time.

Qi Ping took Mu Xiaoque's hands and feet and stepped on cloud steps to run towards the forest. He turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoque with his head down, and said with a smile, "Is it the man from the wild sparrow?"

"Well," Mu Xiaoque looked up at him, then at the fire behind him, "I didn't expect them to be the first wave."

Qi Ping's face was a little gloomy. He turned his head and took a deep breath of air-conditioning, resisting the desire to cough, then turned his head to Mu Xiaoque and sighed gently: "It seems that no matter which world the emperor is, he is so ruthless." !"

Mu Xiaoque raised her head and looked forward, "This is going to clean the wild sparrow too. I really didn't expect him to stop me so far."

"You stupid," Qi Ping couldn't help complaining, his legs suddenly became extremely heavy, and every step seemed to use up all his strength, he roared in his heart: "What should I do? What should I do? ? How can I keep Mu Xiaoque?"

Knock him out, disable his martial arts, and make him unable to run anywhere!Qi Ping glanced at Mu Xiaoque who was always by his side from the corner of his eye, and slowly gathered his palms together.

The fluttering hair band suddenly swept across his side face, making him stunned.

Qi Ping slowly put down his hands, he turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoque, and said with a smile: "I haven't tied your hair properly today."

Mu Xiaoque looked at him strangely, and after a while, she seemed to finally understand what Qi Ping meant.

He quickly raised his fingers and combed the slightly messy hair. Halfway through the arrangement, his fingertips suddenly paused, then he put down his hand and shook his head indifferently, "Just mess it up."

"That's good," Qi Ping smiled with his throat stuck in his throat. He paused for a moment, looked at Mu Xiaoque again, and then laughed sincerely. The shackles on his body disappeared instantly with his smile.

He thought, what his Que'er longs for most is freedom, what he can do is not to imprison him or possess him, but to accompany him to a distant place with joy, so how to choose is up to him. Queer decides for himself!

Thinking of this, he raised his head slightly, "As long as you like it, I will support you even if you shave your head bald!"

When Mu Xiaoque heard what he said, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile. This was also his first sincere smile this day.

Mu Xiaoque raised her hand and patted Qi Ping's head, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Qi Ping rubbed his face in embarrassment. When passing by a certain old bare tree, he casually grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth.

The cold feeling was so refreshing that it seemed to wash away the gloom in his heart. He turned his head to look at the pursuers who hadn't followed up, and felt a bit of satisfaction.

The depression in Mu Xiaoque's heart also subsided a lot. He pulled down the flagon at his waist, and took a big gulp with the north wind. Everyone feels better.

He handed the jug to Qi Ping, and the two of you took a sip. If you don't consider the current situation, you really feel a sense of self-satisfaction.

........................

When he came out of the woods and walked on the main road, the sun had just emerged from the horizon, Qi Ping rubbed his face against the snow, and regained his energy a little.

He stopped and looked towards the east, then turned his head and smiled at Mu Xiaoque, "It's so beautiful."

Mu Xiaoque was also looking at Qi Ping, he raised his hand to part Qi Ping's bangs, and leaned over to kiss Qi Ping on the forehead, "You look better."

Qi Ping chased after him and bit Mu Xiaoque's upper lip, then turned his head to look somewhere, and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, come out, why? How long do you want to watch our passionate scene?" ah?"

The snow on the branch of the tree fell to the ground, and one person jumped down from it, and cupped his hands towards them: "Brother Qi, Brother Mu, long time no see."

"Brother Murong, you are safe and sound," Qi Ping took two steps forward, looked around at the pursuers with sparrows embroidered on the cuff of his left wrist that came out from everywhere, and looked at Murong Jin with a smile and said, "Last time Farewell, I miss you very much, Shanshui will meet again, I never thought that when we meet again, brother Murong will be promoted."

"Gao Sheng doesn't dare to take it," Murong Jin said with a wry smile on his face, "Brother Qi doesn't need to be sarcastic about me, I think Brother Mu understands this kind of feeling best."

Qi Ping shook Mu Xiaoque's hand, "We know it's a deep pit, but we still want to jump into it, we don't understand."

Murong Jin glanced at Qi Ping, then at Mu Xiaoque, thought for a moment and finally said: "You are the Qi family, and you must have a deep understanding of the current situation of the four major families, just like your father, who obviously has the talent for business, In this situation, everyone has a different way of resisting. In my grandfather's generation, Li Enming, the former head of the Li family, wanted to practice magical skills and protect the Li family. In the end, he went crazy and fell into a rage overnight. More than 40 members of our Li family were slaughtered, and my grandfather also died in that tragedy."

After listening to Murong Jin's account of the reasons for the suspected massacre of the Li family, Qi Ping thought of the family tree that was torn out alone in the dilapidated mansion of the Li family, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Suddenly, he asked suspiciously: "Is the person shutting down the abandoned well in Beishan Inn the former head of your Li family and the later sinner Li Enming?"

Murong Jin frowned inadvertently, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes covered by the shadow of eyelashes. After a few seconds, he raised his head and said calmly: "You really entered that abandoned well, and even escaped from it!" come out."

"So I couldn't figure out why the Li family cooperated with Beishan." Qi Ping shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect you to communicate so early. Li Enming was dealt with by Beishan for you?"

When Murong Jin heard this, he glanced at Mu Xiaoque first from the corner of his eye, and nodded after not seeing any changes: "Otherwise, the Li family may be destroyed by me at that time."

Mu Xiaoque moved the copper coin he was playing with with his fingertips quickly. He glanced at Murong Jin, nodded as if approving, and then before Qi Ping could speak, he took the initiative to say: "Later, the Li family became a family with no surname, and they wanted to unify it." Jianghu, resisting the imperial court, unexpectedly went the wrong way again?"

"Well," Murong Jin recalled the experience told by his clansmen, "At that time, everyone was a little bit demented by the huge blow, so they underestimated the power of the Son of Heaven."

Mu Xiaoque nodded in understanding, and he took a step forward to Qi Ping's side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and nodded slightly to the wild sparrows that gradually surrounded him.

Qi Ping glanced at Mu Xiaoque, smiled at Murong Jin, and said, "After talking so much, do you think you're going to eat us today?"

Murong Jin followed suit with a smile, shook her head and said, "Just as a friend, I'm just doing my duty to inform you."

Looking at Murong Jin like this, Qi Ping couldn't help but sighed, "I never imagined that your reckless character was faked back then, aren't you tired?"

"There's nothing you can do about being tired." Murong Jin smiled leisurely with his hands behind his back, "If you don't pretend to be stupid, how can you let others let down their vigilance so easily?"

"Are you just pretending when you're with Fang Jianzhi?" Qi Ping couldn't help but stabbed. He had gotten along with the disciples of the Xuanxiu Sect, saw their simplicity and kindness, and because of this, he was very fond of the Xuanxiu Sect. The goodwill is great.

From this, it is estimated that Murong Jin's feelings towards the Xuanxiu School and the other party's knowledge should be quite complicated, so he asked such a question on purpose.

Sure enough, Murong Jin's face became a little ugly, he clenched his hands behind his back tightly, and there was a real murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Qi Ping, "No one told you that you know too much, so it's easy to be silenced? "

Qi Ping gave him a strange look, shrugged and asked, "So you will let us go if I don't ask? Then I won't ask."

Murong Jin looked slightly embarrassed, looked at Qi Ping for a while, then shook his head: "No!"
