Qin Mu chose a remote route, and when he reached a quiet corner, he quickly opened the small note by the dim light of the lantern. The note stated that Xu Jinyan had successfully reunited with Chen Xingbang, and After learning that he was imprisoned, Chen Xingbang offered to save people.
However, in order to prevent Daxuan people from mixing into the capital of the Li Kingdom, everyone needs a pass to enter and exit the capital, which adds a lot of difficulty to this operation. Earlier, Qin Mu had the foresight to plant his eyeliner in Li country. Those people lived in Li country for a long time and had Li country's entry and exit permits, so the news successfully spread to him.
And Xu Jinyan was able to escape because there was a person in charge of collecting the corpses who wanted to deal with the corpses in a unified way, and he was directly transported out of the city with the corpses in the mass grave.
After memorizing the contact points of Xuanguo's eyeliner distribution marked on the note, Qin Mu stuffed the note into the lantern and burned it, thinking about the next action with his head down.
He still can't fully trust Chen Xingbang.
The treasure map of the national treasury was kept in his mind, as long as he had this incomparably rich treasure, he could recruit soldiers and buy horses, and he would have the capital to fight against the Li country. But in case he revealed where the treasure was hidden, and Chen Xingbang kicked him away, or killed him, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his army
Furthermore, even if he found a contact person according to the address on the note, he would not be able to get out of the Li capital, and sooner or later he would be found by Li Su, which also exposed Daxuan's eyeliner, and the gain outweighed the loss.
Maybe that's why Li Su took him out with confidence.
After going through these thoughts in his mind, Qin Mu didn't dare to take risks, and slowly walked back the same way. He doesn't believe in anyone now, and it is better to save himself than to rely on others. There is no permanent enemy, only permanent interests. Xun Yeyu's current embarrassing situation is an object he can use.
—
People in the royal family of the Li country have a group of mysterious shadow guards who are responsible for secretly protecting them. Those shadow guards are only responsible for protecting their master Zhou Quan, and the rest are not within their protection scope.
Therefore, they did not notice Qin Mu's escape.
After searching around but failing to find Qin Mu, Li Su gave up searching. He never thought that Qin Mu, who is as smart as Qin Mu, would make such a stupid move. Although he knew that Qin Mu could not escape from the capital, and digging three feet would always find him out, but Li Su was still not happy in his heart.
Seeing that his master was unhappy, Yuan Bao cautiously smiled alongside, "Don't worry, Your Highness, maybe Young Master Qin will be back soon."
"He won't come back." Li Su said expressionlessly.
"No, Young Master Qin is penniless. Where can he go if he's a fool?" Yuan Bao held five or six lanterns in his hand, and handed over the biggest and most beautiful one he bought just now. "Your Highness, I bought the treasure of the town store that I ordered just now. Young Master Qin will definitely like it."
Li Su reached out to take it, and looked down. The lantern was indeed beautiful, but the dazzling light burned his eyes. Thinking of the man who ran away, Li Su's complexion became more and more gloomy, the cold air around him made Yuan Bao shrink his shoulders, and unconsciously took a few steps back.
It's terrible for His Highness to be angry.
Yuan Bao took his eyes away from Li Su, glanced around, and inadvertently glanced at a familiar figure, he was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look, and when he saw something, he smiled happily, and danced and said: "Look, Your Highness, Young Master Qin didn't leave, you can see that he is right there."
Hearing this, Li Su turned his head abruptly, and the familiar figure was facing away from him, standing at the place where they had guessed lantern riddles, with hands behind their backs, watching something with relish.
Li Su heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, and immediately walked towards the man.
"Where did you go just now?"
A slightly cold voice came from behind, Qin Mu turned his head and saw Li Su and Yuan Bao behind him, he smiled and said, "I've been here just now."
Li Su said, "I didn't see you."
Qin Mu responded freely, and the expression on his face was flawless, "There were too many people watching just now, I was pushed behind by accident, and in the blink of an eye, you two disappeared." Having said that, Qin Mu Mu blinked, and deliberately smiled and joked: "You two will not do bad things with your back to me, right?"
Yuan Bao quickly explained for his master: "Master Qin, don't get me wrong, the palace and I..." He changed his words: "Master and I thought you were gone, so we went to find you."
Li Su didn't speak, but just stared at Qin Mu with those quiet and deep eyes, with no superfluous expression on his face.
Regardless of whether Li Su doubted him or not, Qin Mu kept smiling, glanced at the lantern in Li Su's hand and said, "This lantern is so beautiful."
When the boss found them, he looked proud and interjected, "Of course it is beautiful. This lantern took me seven to forty-nine days to make. It is the only one in the world. .”
Qin Mu looked at it for a while, and said to Li Su: "I really like this lantern, can you give it to me?"
"Um."
Li Su finally spoke, and while handing the lantern to Qin Mu, the other hand grabbed Qin Mukong's hand. He grasped it tightly, his palms were wet, Qin Mu felt pain from being scratched, and there was a look of inquiry in his eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Li Su replied.
After going out like this just now, Li Su Wuxin continued to visit the lanterns, and only said: "Let's go back to the inn."
"good."
Qin Mu lowered his head and fiddled with the lantern in his hand, and said casually.
The next day, Li Su directly canceled the trip and went home without Qin Mu's consent.
Qin Mu had no objection.
Back at the palace, Li Su left Qin Mu and left, and didn't come back all night, Qin Mu didn't think much about it, and slept here for the last good night.
The next day, Li Su, who hadn't returned all night, returned to the mansion, dressed and washed Qin Mu as usual, Qin Mu glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Did you go to drink flower wine yesterday? "He smelled the faint scent of powder on Li Su's body.
Li Su paused, neither admitting nor refuting, just said: "Xun Yeyu will come to pick you up later."
"knew."
Qin Mu didn't bother with this issue, he didn't care where Li Su went last night,
Xun Yeyu came very early, as soon as he received Li Su's notice, he rushed over.
When he arrived at Li Su's mansion, Qin Mu had just finished his breakfast and drank a bowl of soup that was too bitter to swallow as usual. Li Su stuffed a piece of sugar cake into Qin Mu's mouth.
Unfortunately, this scene just fell into Xun Yeyu's eyes.
He asked with a fake smile: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, didn't I bother you?"
—
Hearing Xun Yeyu's voice, Li Su's expression was normal, and he replied lightly: "No."
Xun Yeyu twitched the corners of his mouth, there was no smile in his eyes, and he focused his gaze on Qin Mu. Compared to half a month ago, this man undoubtedly looked much better. He was wearing a moon-white robe, his hair was tied up high, and he was sitting upright. Beside the table, he looked like a dignified and elegant aristocrat.
"I won't see you in half a month, don't come here to be safe."
Ignoring Xun Yeyu's shady greeting, Qin Mu stood up from his chair, "Are you going back to the dungeon?"
"That's right." Xun Yeyu looked at him, "Why, after spending some time in the pampered place of the palace, are you reluctant to go back to the dungeon?"
Qin Mu laughed at himself, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten who I am now." He is just a captured king of subjugation. He got up and said to Li Su: "Thank you, Your Highness the Third Prince, for taking care of me these days, and it's time for me to go back to where I was supposed to be."
"Well, I still have something important to do, so I won't send it off."
After saying something to Qin Mu, Li Su nodded to Xun Yeyu who was beside him, "Please, General Xun."
"No trouble, this is my duty."
After saying politely to Li Su, Xun Yeyu looked at Qin Mu and said, "Please."
Qin Mu didn't look at Li Su again, and walked ahead. After Xun Yeyu said "Farewell" to Li Su, he caught up with Qin Mu in three steps at a time, and grabbed his arm. hand, almost pulling him into the carriage.
I thought it would be a prison car waiting for him.
Qin Mu was sitting on the carriage, thinking casually, noticing that Xun Yeyu had been staring at him coldly since he got in the carriage, he turned his eyes slightly sideways, and glanced at Xun Yeyu, "What is the general looking at?"
"It seems that Li Su took good care of you." Xun Yeyu said with authenticity.
Qin Mu smiled: "Do you want to know how he takes care of me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Yeyu grabbed his wrist in the palm of his hand. Qin Mu frowned slightly with the force like iron tongs. Seeing the sparks flickering in Xun Yeyu's dark eyes, Qin Mu suddenly laughed again. Bewitching and enchanting like a flower, "The general is angry?"
Xun Yeyu stared at Qin Mu intently, wishing he could break his neck. In the past half a month, there was not a day when he did not think about this damned man. When he thought about the scene where this man got along with Li Su, he almost went crazy. After finally getting notification from Li Su that he could bring this man back, he ran into the scene where Qin Mu was flirting with Li Su and feeding them.
God knows that at that time, he wished he could rush forward with a knife and separate the two of them!
In order to suppress the raging anger in his heart, he took a deep breath and asked word by word: "Say, where did he touch you?"
Qin Mu blinked, pretending not to understand, "What is the general talking about?"
"Don't do this with me."
Xun Yeyu suddenly approached, and squeezed Qin Mu's chin, "Didn't you always like Li Su before? He destroyed your country, and you volunteered yourself, how cheap."
Hearing the last two words, Qin Mu's expression turned completely cold. Although his jaw was about to be pinched, there was no pain on his face, and he didn't even frown. He just looked at Xun Mu with dead eyes. Ye Yu, "I'm cheap, aren't you cheap? I destroyed your country and almost took your life. You can kill me directly to avenge you and your dead soldiers. Why don't you kill me?" I?"
Speaking of this, Qin Mu suddenly softened his tone, his voice was hoarse and confusing: "Why did you give me the aphrodisiac? Don't you have any selfish intentions, just to revenge and humiliate me?"
Looking at the man in front of him with low eyebrows and a slight smile, Xun Yeyu was lost for a moment, realizing that he was so easily influenced by Qin Mu, he pushed Qin Mu away with a pale face, and said coldly: "I will kill you, but not now."
