Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Qin Wuqi arrived two days later. He first visited Mu Liuyun and gave him some medicines to help his recovery. Seeing that Mu Liuyun was still in a state of depression, he expressed his condolences and prepared to leave. up.

Zhang Chi happened to come in with a basin of water, Qin Wuqi said: "Brother Zhang Chi, can I take a step to speak?"

Zhang Chi said apologetically, "Master Qin, please wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I clean Liu Yun's body."

Mu Liuyun usually loves cleanliness very much. Now that he is bedridden for a long time, he must feel uncomfortable. For things like bathing him, Zhang Chi is definitely not willing to do it to others. Qin Wuqi smiled understandingly, and got busy first. own to go.

When Zhang Chi cleaned up Mu Liuyun and went to look for Qin Wuqi, he happened to hear Xu Changge, Qin Wuqi's subordinate, angrily shouted: "Jiangling Salt Road is the territory that brothers have shed so much blood and sacrificed so much. Why do those officials write a few pieces of paper and take them away for nothing! This matter must not be left alone!"

"This matter must be discussed in a long-term manner. Don't rush to seek success. Instruct the branch masters to stay calm and restrain their subordinates so that they don't cause trouble." Qin Wuqi noticed Zhang Chi's footsteps, and signaled his subordinates to step back for the time being, and turned to face him. Zhang Chi said: "Brother Zhang Chi, you are here."

"Master Qin has been waiting for a long time." Zhang Chi smiled a little embarrassedly, smartly pretending that he hadn't heard anything just now.

"No problem." Qin Wuqi said, "I heard that Brother Zhang Chi has been taking care of Daoist Tianxuan for the past few days, and they have done everything by themselves. Small things might as well leave it to others.”

"Thank you, Master Qin, for your kindness, but Liuyun was injured because of me, and it's my job to take care of him, so why not talk about hard work or hard work?"

"I have already heard about the Taoist priest's injury from my father." Now that Zhang Chi already knew about it, Qin Wuqi no longer evaded his relationship with the two elders of Tingquan Villa, "It's a pity that Taoist Priest Tianxuan is like this Outstanding talent——but now that things have come to this point, even if you personally serve the soup and medicine here, and take care of it in your clothes, it will not change the result. If this is the case, Brother Zhang Chi might as well use your ability to do something useful for him. avenge him."

Speaking of revenge, Zhang Chi clenched his hands unconsciously: "I will definitely not let Yi Qiuhua go."

Qin Wuqi said indifferently: "If your target of revenge is only Yi Qiuhua, then there is nothing to worry about."

Zhang Chi was taken aback: "What happened to him?"

"Crazy." Qin Wuqi said, "According to the information my subordinates found, the current Yi Qiuhua has completely lost his mind and is always in fear. No matter who he sees, he will only shout. 'Don't kill me', letting him live like this is better than killing him with a knife."

"Hmph, God really has eyes." Zhang Chi said bitterly.

"Brother Zhang Chi doesn't look like the kind of person who will only rely on God to open his eyes to uphold justice for you." Qin Wuqi looked at Zhang Chi meaningfully and said, "Could it be that Yi Yi is the only one who has encountered such a thing? Is it Qiuhua's fault alone? He is just an ignorant dude after all, how can he have such great ability to force you all the way to such a situation."

Zhang Chi asked cautiously: "What does Master Qin mean by this?"

Qin Wuqi said bluntly: "The imperial court is now completely occupied by a gang of thieves. They are double-faced and rebellious. First, they planted money on you indiscriminately, and then pretended to withdraw the wanted arrest to lure you to appear. If it weren't for the bravery of Taoist Tianxuan, If you desperately protect you regardless of your own safety, the two of you may have been buried in this conspiracy in vain. Don't you feel unwilling to face such a situation?"

"...If you are unwilling, what should you do?"

"We Ming people don't speak dark words, and I know a thing or two about the official background of Brother Zhang Chi. In these years, you have been inquiring about information for the court. It can be said that you have endured humiliation and devoted yourself to it. Lost pawn, such an obvious unjust case, the court has not responded for a long time, allowing Princess Yaoping to pin the blame on you. Not to mention that this battle scared the only son of Princess Yaoping crazy, Although it is his own fault, Princess Yaoping must hate you to the core. You have no place to stand in the court, and the Daoist priest can no longer return to the Shangqing Palace. If Brother Zhang Chi can trust Qin, Jinghong Villa can become the second daughter in the future. A place to stay."

After Zhang Chi heard this, he just remained silent, Qin Wuqi looked at him straightly: "Now that things have happened, does Brother Zhang still have any worries?"

"Villa Master Qin is so kind, of course I'm disrespectful, but I will definitely live and die with Liu Yun in the future. For such a big matter, I have to discuss it with him before making a decision." Zhang Chi raised the reason Mu Liuyun, who was injured, weak and delirious, used this as an excuse and didn't immediately agree.

Qin Wuqi was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said: "Okay, the Taoist priest has not recovered from his serious injury, you will inevitably be worried, and there is no need to rush this matter, you two will live here in peace, take good care of your body, Qin will be waiting for news of you two at Jinghong Villa."

***

Qin Wuqi was always very busy. After seeing his father and uncle and finishing the necessary things, he quickly left and left. Zhang Chi also returned to Mu Liuyun's bed, resting his chin in thought.

Mu Liuyun was still awake at this time, seeing Zhang Chi's frowning expression, he asked, "What's wrong with you, what did Qin Wuqi tell you?"

Zhang Chi rubbed his nose and sighed: "Villa Master Qin said that Jinghong Villa can be our refuge. I have an excuse to discuss it with you, but I haven't agreed yet."

For a sensible person, some things don't need to be explained too clearly. Of course, Mu Liuyun also understands that the sky will not fall in vain. The prerequisite for Qin Wuqi to provide them with asylum is that the two of them will work for Jinghong Villa in the future.

Mu Liuyun said: "I'm already a useless person, and I can't do anything if I stay in Jinghong Villa. It seems that his goal is only you."

Zhang Chi was surprised: "He, he told you?"

Mu Liuyun shook his head: "I am a martial arts practitioner, so I know my physical condition best."

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Chi felt bitter, "I'm worried that you won't be able to accept it, and I don't know how to talk to you."

Mu Liuyun said lightly: "It's a blessing to be able to save your life with such an injury, what else can't be accepted."

Seeing him so calm and open-minded, Zhang Chi was relieved a lot, and felt that his previous cautiousness was actually a bit redundant-Mu Liuyun is undoubtedly a strong man, and his strength has never been only in martial arts, although now he He was still bedridden, but he not only calmly accepted the fact that he had lost all his martial arts, but also thought about asking Zhang Chi: "Since Qin Wuqi wants to win over, why did you refuse?"

"Actually, I was still very tempted, and I almost agreed." Zhang Chi also told him the truth, "Especially considering that after the battle at Nanmenguan, your enemies have increased a lot. If there is no such thing as Jinghong Villa Powerful forces provide protection, I am afraid that many people will vent their anger on you. There is also Princess Yaoping, although this time the army is lost, but there is no guarantee that they will not send people to hunt and kill us again. Three-legged cat's kung fu, no matter which side you encounter, it will be more dangerous than good. What's more, you still need to continue to receive treatment from Senior Qin, the poisonous doctor. If I reject Qin Wuqi's recruitment, who knows whether Senior Qin Wushang will treat me We swept the floor out of the house, although Master Ye has a good heart, he is the former owner of Jinghong Villa after all, the uncle who loves Qin Wuqi the most, and his elbows always turn inward."

"That's true, so what are you worried about?"

"You know, before Sister Hua died, she gave me a booklet, which recorded all possible clues related to the murder of Lord Hou. After I was caught, the booklet was confiscated, and its whereabouts are unknown. , but I remember the contents clearly - Qin Wuqi is also one of the suspects who killed Yongninghou."

"You doubt him?" Mu Liuyun frowned, "I don't think he is that kind of person."
