This night, Xiao Cheng chose to stay here.
Qin Mu had no objection, this was originally Xiao Cheng's house. It stands to reason that the task was successfully completed, and the system should have a prompt to guess correctly. He tried to summon the system, but got nothing.
Maybe there's something wrong with the system again.
Qin Mu wanted to wait and see, anyway, he was not in a hurry, and planned to make a pleasing trick.
Maybe the moonlight was too beautiful tonight, or the wine that Xiao Cheng brought him was too mellow, Qin Mu put on a cloak, and sat alone in the gazebo in the yard, with a few dishes on the stone table, looking at Yue Xiao discretionary.
As long as he completes the last world, he can return to real life and continue his chic and brilliant life.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, Qin Mu's brows were soft, and the moonlight streamed down like water, casting a hazy halo on his stunning and beautiful face.
"What makes you so happy?"
Xiao Cheng's clear and tender voice came from one side, Qin Mu looked sideways slightly, and the exquisite cup fell firmly on his palm, making his fingers whiter and slender, he raised his glass to Xiao Cheng, and said loudly: "From From today onwards, I am free, of course I should be happy."
Xiao Cheng lowered his eyes to cover the fleeting darkness in his eyes, Shi Shiran sat down opposite Qin Mu, took an empty cup, poured one for himself, and said: "It's time to celebrate, Do you mind if I have a few drinks with you?"
Qin Mu smiled: "I don't mind."
The wine glass is a normal size, but Xiao Cheng's hands are too small, and he needs to hold the wine glass with two hands to drink. He didn't feel embarrassed, and drank a glass calmly. When he put down the wine glass, his baby's fat cheeks were already Stained a layer of blush.
Xiao Cheng opened his lips and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." The key is that there is no money.
Money is a good thing whether you are picking up girls or guys. Of course, with Qin Mu's good looks, some people want to keep him, it depends on whether Qin Mu is willing or not.
Xiao Cheng was quiet for a while, and said: "If you don't dislike it, you can live here forever, and it's not too late to leave after you make up your mind."
Lifting his eyelids, he took a look at Xiao Cheng, seeing that Xiao Cheng's eyes were full of water, and he was faintly drunk, Qin Mu smiled with his lips curled up: "You let me eat and live here for nothing, do you really want nothing from me?"
Xiao Cheng lowered his head, drank another cup, then held his hot cheeks and looked at Qin Mu with drunken eyes: "No."
After saying this, he saw that the man on the opposite side frowned first, as if he was thinking about something, this man was really good-looking, he discovered it when he was in Lingxiao Mountain, even the frowning movement was so charming, People can't help but want to reach out and smooth the wrinkles between his brows.
The fingers resting on his cheeks tightened quietly, Xiao Cheng licked his lips, still staring at Qin Mu with those watery eyes, after a while, Qin Mu finally had a reaction, his brows relaxed, his lips The horns were raised lightly, and a hoarse and charming low magnetic voice slowly spit out from his mouth: "How can a person ask nothing for another person?"
Xiao Cheng didn't speak, he knew Qin Mu had more to say.
Then he heard the man ask in a declarative tone: "Hey, do you like me?"
"..."
Xiao Cheng's lips parted slightly, and his face, which has always been so sophisticated, was rarely taken aback. He didn't expect Qin Mu to be so straightforward, and he wasn't worried at all that if he got a negative answer, the man's face would be labeled as "passionate". Label.
"Did I hit it?" Qin Mu leaned on the beam behind him with a lazy and casual posture.
Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes, "Yes."
He did not deny that his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat when he saw Qin Mu for the first time. Later, Qin Mu made that joke unintentionally, saying that he wanted to make a promise with his body. For a moment, his heart was almost moved. Because of his special body, no one has ever made such a joke with him.
Really almost.
If he wasn't carrying hatred, if his body wasn't like this...
Seeing Xiao Cheng with his head down, holding an empty wine glass in both hands in a daze, Qin Mu stretched out his arms, raised his chin, and met Xiao Cheng's water-colored eyes that were out of focus. Qin Mu couldn't help laughing, and muttered: " It turned out to be drunk."
The man's fingertips felt slightly cool, but Xiao Cheng shrank as if his heart was scalded.
His lips moved slightly, he wanted to say that he was not drunk, but he didn't say it after all.
"You can't drink so much, you even said you want to drink with me."
On the other side, the man withdrew his hand and laughed with a "chi".
Simply pretending to be drunk to the end, Xiao Cheng looked at Qin Mu with a grin, and said with his tongue out, "You... really won't... go back to Gu Qin?"
Back to Gu Qin
Qin Mu shook his head, and said in a calm tone, "It's better to be alone." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank another glass of wine.
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng closed his eyes, and a silly smile appeared on his face at the right time.
The next day, Xiao Cheng stayed here for a rest on the grounds of a hangover.
On the third day, Xiao Cheng received a secret report from the palace that the emperor was critically ill and time was running out, so he rushed back to the palace without stopping.
At that time, the old emperor Xiao Yang's palace, several princes and several important ministers were there, but the prince Xiao Ce rushed to deal with the flood in Jiangbei last month, and he couldn't make it back for a while.
Of course Xiao Cheng would not let Xiao Ce come back. If there is no accident, Xiao Ce will never come back.
At the same time, Gu Qin also quietly waited among the ministers.
Since the old emperor was assassinated last time, the wound has not healed. It was later discovered that he had been poisoned by a very rare poison. By the time he found out, it was too late, and the poison had already entered the internal organs.
At this moment, Emperor Xiao Yang's complexion was vain, and his eye sockets were sunken, as if he had aged ten years. He was at the end of his strength, his lips opened and closed, and it took a lot of effort to say a word: "You... all step back, Gu Qin stays."
His voice was very low, as long as Eunuch Xu, who leaned close to his mouth to listen carefully, heard him, Eunuch Xu wiped away his tears secretly, and repeated what the emperor said, "The emperor said, and the rest of the people stepped back. General Gu stayed behind." Down."
A shrill and feminine voice echoed in the room, and there was a moment of silence in the air.
Everyone subconsciously turned their gazes to Gu Qin, who lowered his eyes to look at his feet, and said with thin lips, "Here."
Before following the crowd to leave, Xiao Cheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Gu Qin, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. When Xiao Yang was dying, the last person he wanted to see was Gu Qin.
Oh, father, you are suspicious by nature, you don't trust anyone, you have been trying to hold the imperial power firmly in the palm of your hand, but in the end, there is no one trustworthy around you.
Xiao Cheng bowed his head, laughed at himself, and walked away from here.
When Gu Qin was the only one left in the huge bedroom, Xiao Yang opened his eyes with difficulty, and an old and hoarse voice slowly spit out from his mouth: "If Ce'er is not here, in this palace, the only person I can trust right now... It was you." When he was assassinated while hunting, if Gu Qin hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would have been dead long ago.
Gu Qin said: "If the emperor has something to say, you can speak it directly, the final general will definitely live up to the emperor's great trust."
"Ce'er... Cough cough... I will arrive in the capital in three days. I have written the edict. By then... you take out the edict..." Xiao Yang said these words intermittently, but Gu Qin could hear them clearly.
When Xiao Yang entrusted him with the imperial edict, he also handed over the soldier talisman that he had been holding firmly in his hand to Gu Qin.
His eyes darkened for a while, and Xiao Yang's tone became more urgent, fearing that it would be too late, "Qin'er, it's... Father, I'm sorry for you." He always knew that Gu Qin was his son, and he was the one who quietly sent someone to send Gu Qin out. He wanted Gu Qin to stay away from court disputes, but he did not expect that many years later, at the age of thirteen, Gu Qin would win the imperial examination in one fell swoop and become the youngest martial arts champion.
In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, coupled with the fact that Gu Qin is indeed extremely talented, Xiao Yang took great care of Gu Qin, even disregarding the objections of the court ministers, and named Gu Qin the youngest general.
The expression on Gu Qin's face was blank for a moment, he thought that he had an auditory hallucination.
"The queen killed your biological mother, and at the same time... killed the woman I love the most." Xiao Yang panted helplessly, thinking of the prince's biological mother, a faint sweetness appeared on his old ghost-like face. Smiling, he said slowly: "You have hatred in your heart, I know, as long as you...help the prince ascend the throne, the prince will help you...cough cough cough...revenge."
With his lips moving mechanically, Gu Qin lowered his eyes with a dull expression: "Don't worry, your majesty, the general will swear allegiance to the crown prince in the end."
Receiving Gu Qin's promise, Xiao Yang put his eyes down and closed his eyes: "Qin'er, thank you..." After finishing the last sentence, he fell into an eternal sleep.
Looking at the serene expression on that thin and startling face, Gu Qin looked indifferent, put away the military amulet and edict, walked slowly to the door, and pushed open the door that isolated everyone.
Light leaked in from a room, Gu Qin faced the sun, his fair skin seemed transparent.
Facing everyone's eyes of bewilderment and uncertainty, Gu Qin's lips moved slightly, and he said with great pain: "Your Majesty, you have passed away."
