Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

The severe pain and fear of dying caused Kuihu to break through the acupuncture point and let out a hoarse scream.

After all, Cheng Xiayue is a lady who has never committed suicide by herself. In the end, she was a little soft in the end. Although Youlongjian was very sharp, this sword still failed to separate Kuihu's body and head. Amid Kuihu's screams, Cheng Xiayue Xiayue slashed several more times before beheading Kuihu's head.

Bright red blood splashed on her snow-white skirt, and the surroundings were silent for a while, and everyone looked at this helpless woman in awe.

Cheng Xiayue knelt down in front of the tomb, this woman who had always been expressionless, even when she killed someone with her own hands, finally let go of all her strength and forbearance, and cried out with sobs: "...Dad, Mother, husband, Xiayue has finally avenged you, so you can leave with peace of mind."

Qin Wuqi didn't do futile consolation, just silently accompanied him.

Not long after, Cheng Xiayue regained her composure. She held the Youlong Sword in both hands and returned it to Qin Wuqi, nodding her head and thanking in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Villa Master Qin."

"Miss Cheng has a strong heart and is decisive in killing, and Qin admires it very much." Qin Wuqi asked gently, "I wonder what Miss Cheng's plan is next?"

"I will return to Beijing with General Lu, and I will also send the family's remains to the capital for burial."

"Since I'm traveling with General Lu, I can rest assured." Qin Wuqi thought for a while and said, "I'm going to the capital in a few days. I don't know if I can visit Miss Cheng again."

Cheng Xiayue nodded.

Holding a can of stewed venison with wild mushrooms, Zhang Chi pushed open the door of Mu Liuyun's room with his shoulder.

The jar was very hot, but he relied on the thick calluses on his hands and didn't even have a cloth to cushion him. He rubbed his fingers and blew twice until he put the jar down: "Liuyun, it's time to eat."

Mu Liuyun, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes. Although this junior brother of the Seventh Master of the Shangqing defeated the demon Wei Wuji by himself, he also suffered a lot of internal and external injuries. What did he do these days? I don't care about anything, I just sit in the room to recuperate my body, exercise my skills to heal my injuries, Zhang Chi can't do anything else, so I cook delicious food for him in different ways every day, and then watch him eat with satisfaction.

When Mu Liuyun finished eating, Zhang Chi said while tidying up: "Liuyun, now many sects and heroes from all walks of life have dispersed one after another, and the imperial army will also return to Beijing in the next two days. The next itinerary for the Shangqing Palace is How is it arranged, do you know?"

"Many of the disciples in the sect were injured. In order to prevent their injuries from worsening due to the journey, we need to spend a few more days preparing the carriages and horses, and then go back to the mountain together. After that, I will recuperate on the mountain for a period of time. Make plans after injury." Mu Liuyun looked up at him, "Do you have something to say?"

Zhang Chi scratched his head, and said in a bit of embarrassment: "It's like this, General Lu wants me to do some things, and I have to set off with the army tomorrow, and I have to inquire about some things that need to be dealt with now that there is no leader. Be separated for a while."

Mu Liuyun was taken aback for a moment.

Since the two met, they had never really been separated, and the recent period was so good that he never considered this issue-they were not in the same way.

Zhang Chi is an inquisitor, and maybe his real identity is more than that. In short, he has his own affairs to be busy, and he must walk around the rivers and lakes, while Mu Liuyun will probably stay in Shangqing Palace most of the time and never go anywhere.During this period of time, the two have the same goal, and being able to act together all the time is just a matter of luck. In the future, it may be normal to gather less and leave more.

Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun frowned, and Zhang Chi felt his heart tugging when he looked at it. For a while, he wished to pick off all the stars in the sky, just to make him happy, but the reality was that he couldn't even accompany him. Seeing that Mu Liuyun couldn't do such trivial things, he could only say with great guilt: "Liuyun, don't be unhappy, I don't want to be separated from you either, you go back to the mountain to recover from your injuries, and wait for me to deal with the matter at hand. Things come to you, okay?"

"……how long?"

"If it's half a month, it won't be more than a month at the slowest. I'll come to you as soon as the matter is over." Zhang Chi said earnestly, "I wish I could see you as soon as possible."

Mu Liuyun hangs his head, his personality has always been withdrawn and indifferent, he likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, even when Zhang Chi is around, he often likes to be alone, and doesn't want to be stuck with each other all the time, but thinking of the next day Without Zhang Chi by his side, Mu Liuyun felt empty in his heart.

In the past few days, due to Mu Liuyun's injury, they have not slept together. That night, the two had been intimate for a long time. Thinking of the upcoming separation, they both felt reluctant to say goodbye.

Feeling Mu Liuyun's undisguised reluctance and attachment to him, Zhang Chi felt both joy and sadness in his heart. The joy is that Liuyun's feelings for him are becoming more and more stable, and it is no longer the past "try it together" The attitude is that the worry is that the two will be separated just after getting better. With Mu Liuyun's personality, Zhang Chi is not worried at all that someone will take advantage of him. thereby rejecting his approach.

The next day, Mu Liuyun didn't go to see him off until the army set off. Zhang Chi looked back frequently in the team, but he still didn't see the person he wanted to see, so he had to sigh helplessly -- forced to separate The two places were not what he wanted, but Liu Yun was obviously angry with him.

Even if it was an obvious way to vent his anger, Zhang Chi had no place to reason. He could only sigh and wonder how he could coax Mu Liuyun to smile at him after the matter was over. Li is calm and restrained. Once he is really angry, it is not so easy to coax.

The red lotus sect's clearing operation that lasted for several months finally came to a successful conclusion. The various sects involved divided up the property and secret treasures seized from the Yinyue Palace, and the unaffiliated Jianghu scattered people also received the imperial court's reward and returned with satisfaction. , Jinghong Villa even got rid of the biggest enemy.

Not long after Qin Wuqi returned to Jinghong Villa, he sent someone to prepare a gift for Cheng Xiayue. He put a lot of thought into this, carefully inquiring into the other party's preferences and needs, and spared no expense to win a smile from the girl.

When he ordered his men to buy gifts, Jiang Shi couldn't help asking: "The owner has spent so much trouble, but does he intend to marry that Miss Cheng as his wife?"

Qin Wuqi didn't deny it: "I have exactly that intention."

Several confidants and subordinates were a little surprised. Qin Wuqi has been single all these years. Although he has had some confidantes with ambiguous relationships, he has never shown any intention of starting a family. Concerned about Qin Wuqi's marriage, people in Jianghu who have unmarried women of the right age are overwhelmed and want to marry Jinghong Villa.

However, Qin Wuqi has been keeping everyone's appetites high and low, and everyone said that such a proud son of heaven, his vision may be too high, but now he wants to marry a widow who is not even from the world , I'm afraid I'm going to cry and break the hearts and minds of countless young girls in Huaichun.

"The owner should think twice." Xu Changge persuaded, "Although Miss Cheng's appearance and family background are considered good, she is a married woman after all."

"So what?" Qin Wuqi said disapprovingly, "I'm not a great Confucian who sticks to the rules, so why should I care about such trivial matters?"

Jiang Shi tactfully persuaded: "Miss Cheng is indeed an admirable woman. She endured humiliation and devoted herself to serve the thief, causing Wei Fantian and his son to turn against each other and everyone to betray their relatives. The behind-the-scenes news said that Wei Fantian was not allowed to approach women because of poisoning during that time, but no one in the Jianghu knew that she was Wei Fantian's concubine, if the owner of the villa married her, I'm afraid... the words would not sound good."

Song Ci was more straightforward: "At that time, everyone will laugh behind his back that the owner of the villa picked up the woman Wei Fantian used."

Qin Wuqi chuckled lightly: "When have there been fewer gossips about me? I'm not married yet, and I've been saying behind my back that I have everything. Now that I'm in this position, I've long been used to treating those gossiping words as Nothing."

Xu Changge said: "The owner really doesn't need to care too much about other people's gossip, but has the owner considered that Ms. Cheng has been married for more than three years and has never had anything. Could it be that she is... barren?"

"Maybe it's her husband who can't do it. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing." Qin Wuqi said, "Even if she really can't have children, it doesn't matter. Uncle doesn't have any children of his own. He raised me, so it's still the same. Carry forward Jinghong Villa."

The subordinates were short of words for a while, Xu Changge elbowed the captain of the iron guard who was silent at the side: "Old Fu, you should also persuade the owner."

Fu Jinglei didn't know why, but he looked a bit disappointed: "...As long as it is the owner's decision, the subordinates will support it."

Qin Wuqi said: "Okay, I know that you are also thinking of me, but I am not a brat who will be desperate for women. Since I have made such a decision, I naturally have my reasons, so there is no need to say more."

Now that the owner of the villa has said so, as subordinates, it is not easy to obstruct them, so the few people had no choice but to retreat and go to work separately.

Qin Wuqi did have his own considerations. On the one hand, he really admired this woman. She was beautiful, elegant, strong and forbearing, which was admirable. On the other hand, Cheng Xiayue came from an official family. Although her father was dead, she was still in the court. There are many old friends and old acquaintances, even Li Guifei who is beside the emperor is her close friend, and her intelligence and wisdom will definitely bring unexpected help to Jinghong Villa.

If they are able to have children in the future, they will definitely be the most outstanding offspring. Even if she is really barren, being able to marry such a woman as his wife is also very helpful to him. Compared with it, what Being a virgin and gossip are completely insignificant.
