Qin Mulan tossed and turned on the bed for most of the night, and did not fall asleep until dawn. When I woke up again and opened my eyes, it was already daylight.
Qin Mulan rubbed her dry eyes, put on her clothes in a drowsy manner, and got out of bed. She went behind the screen and poured cold water to wash her face. When the cool water was applied to her face, the drowsiness subsided.
Qin Mulan called the waiter over like last night. After ordering and eating, she propped her chin and looked at the direction Murong Lin was leaving in a daze.
I thought about it all night last night, but I didn't come up with any good solution, so I just thought it would be a shame. Anyway, when Murong Lin pretended to be a bandit and went on the road together, she always played a fool.
Thinking of this, she yawned and squinted her eyes while lying on the window.
Qin Mulan was awakened by a sudden knock on the door. She frowned and looked at the mahogany door, and walked over slowly. As soon as she opened the door, she saw someone coming. It was the shop waiter.
The shop clerk had a flustered look on his face at the moment, and his voice trembled, he said: "This guest officer is not good, our town is about to come to the enemy, I have a sister who is a concubine in the city lord's mansion , she rushed over overnight to tell me the news, pack your bags and leave quickly."
Qin Mulan looked at him, without moving a step, but said coldly: "Why did you tell me this news to an outsider instead of the shopkeeper?"
The waiter's expression immediately froze, and he said with a sullen face: "I only said this because you are a single woman. You gave me a sum of money yesterday, which saved the life of my seriously ill mother. I'm so grateful to you for that."
Qin Mulan paused for a moment, and immediately showed a grateful expression on her face. She said, "Sorry, I'm a woman walking outside, so I have to be vigilant. Thank you for telling me this news, but..." She said, with a strong tone in her tone. With a weeping sound, she said: "The enemy army is coming, and I can't escape too far alone." As she spoke, a line of tears rolled down her half-masked face.
The waiter hurriedly said: "My sister is about to leave. If you really have no one to go with you, you can go with my sister. She is the most beloved concubine of the city lord. When the time comes, the city lord will definitely take her with her." .”
When Qin Mulan heard this, she had already fully understood his purpose. She squinted her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said in a happy tone: "I'll thank you then, I'll go and pack my luggage."
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, the waiter in the shop smiled and said, "Okay, the little one is waiting for you at the side door behind the inn."
Qin Mulan nodded, and the waiter saw this, turned around and left satisfied.
Seeing him go away, Qin Mulan closed the door and wandered around in the room. The waiter in the shop was probably a human trafficker, maybe because she saw her generous reward yesterday, she had the intention of harming others, but she hated that she still regarded this man as a human being. a good one.
Qin Mulan regretted that she was reckless. She did what she did yesterday because she knew that she had something to rely on. She was not afraid of others seeking money and killing her, because the martial arts in this world were very strong, and the number one god of war, Jade Faced General Murong Lin, was by her side.
But now, Murong Lin is nowhere to be seen, and the shop Xiaoer's words just now are like a reminder, which makes Qin Mulan feel a little more anxious.
And at this moment, Qin Mulan saw a white shadow flash by the window of the room. Just when she suspected that she was dazzled, the white shadow flashed again, and jumped into her room from the window in an instant. turned around.
It was Murong Lin, with a stiff expression on her face. Seeing Qin Mulan staring at her dumbfounded, she moved her lips hurriedly, and explained: "I heard what the waiter said, you..."
Before the words were finished, a beautiful woman who threw herself into her arms was ushered in.
Murong Lin blinked, looked down at the person in her arms, and said in a daze that she had prepared the lines for the whole night, and she said: "I didn't leave yesterday, I just stayed on your roof. Also, I am really Murong Rin, my biggest secret, is..."
Qin Mulan interrupted her and said, "Stop talking, I recognized you, you idiot, why did you change your clothes and take off your mask, and then fool around and pretend to take me when I was looking for Murong Lin? Go, you lied to me first, then I will tease you too. But now is not the time to talk about this, I will settle accounts with you later." As he spoke, he gave her a fierce look.
Then he frowned and asked, "Is this town going to be in chaos? Do we need to flee immediately?"
Even if Qin Mulan knows the plot, the plot of the novel is to set off the relationship between the hero and heroine, and to describe the country's broken mountains and rivers. It does not describe every place, especially such a remote town.
Murong Lin shook his head and said: "I don't know for now, I also came here with you, and I don't know the situation here. However, wars may also happen. After all, this is a chaotic world. Maybe it's not the enemy army that the shop Xiaoer said, but Not necessarily bandits. This inn is not safe, I will take you back to my mansion first, and then go to the city lord's mansion to find out the news."
Qin Mulan nodded. She was used to trusting Murong Lin. During the journey together, Murong Lin was the one who arranged everything. She only needed to stay by Murong Lin's side without worrying about anything.
Qin Mulan cast aside in her heart that she was spoiled by Murong Lin, and she has degenerated into what she is now. She must correct her flaws.
Seeing her head down, Murong Lin guessed that she might be in a bad mood, so he turned around and took her out, and said, "You don't need to stay here, I'll take you downstairs to check out. If you want to seek money and kill your life, then this person can't stay longer, I will take the time to deal with him, you..." Murong Lin paused when she said this, and she realized that she was showing cold-blooded and ruthless, and she would rather kill by mistake Let go of the cruel heart.
Murong Lin hurriedly turned around to see Qin Mulan's expression, she was afraid that Qin Mulan would be afraid of her because of this.
However, to her surprise, Qin Mulan, who was sitting on the bed and quickly packed her luggage, smiled and nodded in agreement when she heard what she said.
Murong Lin heaved a sigh of relief, she felt ashamed for her thoughts, she quickly turned her head and listened to the movement behind her.
When Qin Mulan packed her luggage and came over, Murong Lin took her downstairs with no expression on her face, checked out the room with the shopkeeper under the surprised eyes of the waiter, and left together.
Murong Lin took Qin Mulan to his mansion, and Qi Sou was curious about the woman brought back by his lord, but at the same time he was also a little happy and emotional.
He was still worried yesterday that there was no one to take care of the adults, and he looked lonely, so pitiful.
But today, his lord brought back a woman, seeing how considerate and caring he was for this woman, Qi Sou felt relieved, grinned and even smiled happily.
Murong Lin didn't know what Qi Sou was thinking. She ignored the dozen or so guest rooms in the mansion, and took Qin Mulan directly to her own room. After she settled Qin Mulan, she watched Qin Mulan look around the room and took off her mask On his immature face, there was a curiosity and a somewhat inexplicable eagerness to try.
Her heart softened strangely. This person is what she has been looking for for so many years, and after getting along with her for many years, she has long been attached to such a person and the strangeness she brought to herself. mood.
Murong Lin sat on the stool, watching Qin Mulan in a silent trance.
After Qin Mulan finished shopping around the spacious room, she walked up to Murong Lin, waved her hand, and said worriedly: "You were on the roof last night, so you must not have a rest. Are you sleepy? How about you Just lie down and sleep for a while, there is no rush for other things."
Only then did Murong Lin come back to her senses, her cheeks burned, she stood up and walked out, and said in embarrassment: "I... I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the news, and you will stay... in my room..." Her voice lowered, and the last two words were inaudible, but Qin Mulan heard her say, "Wait for me to come back."
Qin Mulan followed her for a few steps until she watched her go away, and shouted to her back: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Murong Lin's heart felt hot, and she even used lightness kung fu under her feet. Her body jumped up lightly, and flew across the house like a feather. The cool wind dissipated the heat from her face.
In the blink of an eye, she arrived outside the city lord's mansion.
It was time to get down to business, Murong Lin had a solemn expression on her face, she nimbly avoided the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and came to the most remote hall.
There are relatively few guards here. She passed the crowd silently and came to the room in the main hall. The place is filled with the smell of medicinal herbs. There is a cabinet full of letters in front of the wall on the left side, while the traditional herbal cabinet.
This is the room of a close friend of hers. She came here unintentionally back then and saved a family. The family came to this town to join their eldest son. Bandits were rampant on that road at that time, and she had nothing to do at that time. After doing this, I sent these all the way to this town, and then met the so-called eldest son of the family, a doctor named He Qing who disguised himself as a man.
He Qing was not in the room, she turned around and sat on a stool beside her, waiting patiently.
After waiting for about half an hour, a handsome man in a long T-shirt came in. When she saw Murong Lin, she did not show any surprise, but took off the pannier on her own. It was placed on the straw-covered ground next to the medicine cabinet.
After putting away the basket, she went to the small courtyard behind the room, washed her hands with well water, and then walked out slowly, with a leisurely smile on her face, and said, "Why, did you find what you were looking for?"
She was just teasing Murong Lin habitually, but she didn't expect Murong Lin to nod her head in response, and said, "Yeah."
He Qing's leisurely expression immediately froze on her face, and she congratulated perfunctorily: "Then congratulations, heaven pays off. Well, I'm curious about what exactly you're looking for?"
Murong Lin lowered his eyes, whispered with thin lips, "A woman."
He Qing immediately looked at her with wide-eyed eyes, and even picked out his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but when Murong Lin repeated the word "woman" again, she showed an exaggerated surprised expression and clicked her tongue He said: "I see that you are becoming more and more like a man now, and you actually found a woman. Well, I'm not interested in this matter. What's the matter with you coming to me this time?"
Murong Lin said seriously: "It is said that an enemy army is about to attack this town?"
He Qing was startled, then lowered his head and said sullenly: "Yes, the news I got the day before yesterday is not only the enemy army, but also some troops from our own country. Besides, even the bandits in the mountains have heard about it." It is said that they are looking for a treasure map of the pre-Zhou Dynasty. It is no longer safe here. It is estimated that those people will attack the door in a few days. The city lord wants the people in the city to announce this news today. You too Take your woman and go."
Murong Lin frowned upon hearing this, and muttered to himself, "Treasure...picture?!"
