Xue Mu opened the scroll in Liu Qinghuan's hand, and it turned out to be "Blue Lotus Summer" by Ding Maoxue.
After studying for a while, he looked at Liu Qinghuan and asked, "Where did he come from?"
Liu Qinghuan said proudly: "It's a gift from Ma County Magistrate."
Xue Mu nodded with a smile: "It seems that Magistrate Ma is very satisfied with your new daughter-in-law for such an expensive meeting gift."
…
"The County Magistrate Ma told me that he bought this painting from under the flyover for ten renminbi." Liu Qinghuan said with sincerity, "The important thing is that after I looked at the map, I found that the treasure is hidden here in Xiwei. On the mountain."
Xue Mu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "I will ask Peng Peng to take someone to look for it, and you will come back to Chang'an with me."
"No, actually I didn't..." Before the words could be said, Liu Qinghuan coughed again. This time, she held back the fishy sweetness in her throat and didn't let herself cough up blood, but Xue Mu's face turned dark in an instant.
"It's not negotiable." He picked Liu Qinghuan up and walked out of the cave. Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips, turned her head away and said, "Don't waste your efforts, I can't be cured of this illness."
Xue Mu's steps froze, and he squinted his eyes at her: "Liu Qinghuan, please explain clearly to me."
The corners of Liu Qinghuan's mouth became straighter, and it took a long time before she said as if she had made up her mind: "Because I'm not sick at all, but poisoned." She turned her head to look at Xue Mu, "Tang Zibo started feeding me secretly three years ago... □, I don’t have much time left to live.”
Xue Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he was absent-minded for a moment. He stared at Liu Qinghuan for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Qingqing, you are lying to me again, aren't you?"
Liu Qinghuan's eyes gradually turned red because of Xue Mu's words. She lied to him so many times, but this time, she told the truth.
She held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, sniffed her nose and said: "King Yong is suspicious by nature. Although I have been friends with Tang Zibo these years, he has never really trusted me. When the emperor demoted him to Lingnan, he let Tang Zibo stayed alone in Chang'an. In order to control me, he let him poison me. This poison is chronic, and he would give me an antidote every six months, but the antidote could not eradicate my poison. The poison is just to delay the onset of the poison." She paused, then continued, "In ten days, it will be half a year."
Xue Mu's breathing was a little short, he took a deep breath, then looked at Liu Qinghuan and said, "Since he poisoned you secretly, how did you find out?"
"One time Tang Zibo slipped his tongue by accident, so he didn't hide it from me anymore, but he promised to detoxify me completely when he kills you and finds the treasure." It's just that she couldn't kill Xue Mu just to get the antidote. And the King of Lingnan is her sworn enemy. She would rather perish with him than let him find Wen Wei's huge money of corruption.
From the time she decided to use Du Juan's identity as a golden cicada to get out of her shell, it was tantamount to choosing a dead end for herself.
Xue Mu's arms slowly tightened, and the murderous aura slowly overflowed from his body. Liu Qinghuan's heart seemed to be stung by his breath, and tears finally couldn't help falling down: "Probably because of my background, my father and mother have always loved me the most among the three sisters, and when I met you later, you are always in love with me." Protect me. Until I was ten years old, I was the ignorant and willful third lady of the Minister's Mansion. At that time, I was too naive and ignorant, thinking that I could avenge my parents with my own strength, and I ended up today What happened to me is also my own fault." She raised her right hand, looked at her wrist and curled her lips, "This is the five-color life extension thread you gave me, if it can really extend life, it would be great."
Xue Mu pursed his lips and raised his head, he was afraid that if he lowered his head a little, tears would fall from his eyes. Looking at his wet eyes, Liu Qinghuan felt even more uncomfortable. In her entire life, the only person she felt sorry for was Xue Mu.
"Actually, I lied to you again before. The reason why I married into the Hou's mansion as Du Juan was because I didn't want you to suffer the pain of losing my wife. I'd rather you think that I escaped marriage than let you watch me die... just not Thinking about it, I was discovered by you." She looked at Xue Mu with tears in her eyes, and sobbed slightly, "I could really run away from marriage, but I know that my life is not long, so I still want to spend my last time with you. Would you blame me for being too selfish?"
Xue Mu's breathing was a little unsteady, and he slowed down for a long time before he lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms: "Liu Qinghuan, I first saw you when I was six years old, and it has been fourteen years now. The first seven years , was my happiest and happiest time. In the next seven years, you let me know what it means to be heartbroken. But from now on, every seven years in the future, we will be together and live happily and sweetly , how are you?"
The future that Xue Mu described was wonderful, but she couldn't do it, and she didn't want to lie to him anymore. She buried her head in front of his chest and began to cry. Xue Mu felt as if all the strength in his body had been taken away, and hugged Liu Qinghuan and sat back in front of the thatched pile.
Liu Qinghuan wiped all the snot and tears on her face on Xue Mu's clothes, and picked up the "Blue Lotus" that they had forgotten on the thatch pile: "When the lotus in the Hou's mansion is in full bloom, it is more beautiful than the one in this painting. too much."
Xue Mu said to her as if promising something: "The lotus will bloom again next year, and it will bloom even better than this year."
But, she can't see it anymore.
Liu Qinghuan's heart was sour, and she said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that flowers will bloom again, but people will no longer be young?" She raised her head and looked at him: "Amu, I can still call you like I did when I was a child." Ammu?"
Xue Mu's eyes moved like sparkling waves, and a girl seemed to appear in front of her eyes. When she was crying, she said to him, Ah Mu, the second sister frightened me with ghost stories again! When she laughed, she said to him, Ah Mu, the cakes that Auntie made today are delicious! When she was proud, she said to him, Ah Mu, I hid the calligraphy practiced by the second sister, and she is still being taught by A Niang!
Amu, Amu...
Xue Mu's hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and some feelings had already been deeply rooted in his bones. What he once thought was heart-wrenching was far from being heart-wrenching.
Liu Qinghuan looked at Xue Mu, as if a gap had been opened in her heart, and she wanted to tell him all the words that had been accumulated in her heart for so many years: "Amu, when you first went to war, I was terribly afraid, I was so worried that you would Like Uncle Xue, you turned into a coffin and were carried back. On the day you returned triumphantly, I mixed in the crowd and secretly watched you. Your whole body seemed to be glowing, so bright that I almost couldn’t keep my eyes open. Later, once, I saw you with Princess Yongfu in West Market. I was so sad at that time. You clearly promised to take me to West Market, but you went with other girls. Another time... "
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Xue Mu's sudden kiss. Xue Mu had kissed her several times, but there was never such an intense kiss. She could not resist the storm-like kiss, as if she would drown in it.
Xue Mu couldn't control himself at all, he didn't want to hear her say these... like last words. How can this person who can outline her every frown and smile with his eyes closed... die
He let go of Liu Qinghuan and looked at her out of breath: "Qingqing, you won't die, trust me."
He won't let her die.
Seeing that his tears were about to fall again, Liu Qinghuan leaned down and kissed the corners of her moist eyes, and said softly, "You won't die, damn Lingnan King and Tang Zibo."
With a sharp murderous look in his eyes, Xue Mu pulled away, turned and walked out of the cave.
Just now when Liu Qinghuan was crying inside, everyone outside the cave could hear it clearly. Peng Peng's face was always rosy, their general was really extraordinary, directly in the cave, he became...beastly.
I don't know if Ulala is okay now. Hearing that she cried so badly just now, she must not be much better.
Alas, doesn't Master Hou know that the first time will be very painful? Why don't you take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade
Should he remind Master Hou
"Peng Peng."
"Master Hou, do you want to buy medicine?" Pengpeng asked subconsciously.
"Release the news that we found the other half of the treasure in Xiwei Mountain."
Pengpeng was stunned, why is the development a little weird
"Didn't understand?" Xue Mu's eyes suddenly became sharp, Peng Peng shook, and answered loudly.
Gao Cheng has been standing by and listened carefully to what they said. When he faintly heard the word "treasure", his expression changed.
Xue Mu glanced at him, and walked towards him: "You seem to have lived on Xiwei Mountain all the time, so you should be familiar with the terrain here."
Gao Cheng looked at him warily: "What do you want?"
"Help us lead the way."
Gao Cheng's brows slowly piled up: "Where do you want to go?"
Xue Mudao: "Do you know where on Xiwei Mountain is suitable for hiding treasures?"
Gao Cheng laughed mockingly: "Treasure? General, how old are you this year?"
With a "bang", Gao Cheng froze on the spot, looking at the long knife that was suddenly placed on his neck. This man draws his sword so fast, I'm afraid even his master is no match for him.
"In the case of Wen Wei's corruption seventeen years ago, all the properties involved have not yet been recovered. There are many people who are using these properties to conspire against others." Xue Mu finished speaking coldly, holding a knife.
Gao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, their Seven Star Sect is a martial arts sect whose mission is to act chivalrously and fight against injustice. When encountering such a thing, there is no reason to ignore it, but...
"you know."
The very determined tone made Gao Cheng swallow the sentence "I don't know anything". He pondered for a while, then looked at Xue Mu and said, "I do know a place, but it's very dangerous."
Xue Mu laughed: "How dangerous is it?"
"My master holds the hand there."
"Your master?" Xue Mu put down the long knife in his hand and asked, "Who is your master?"
Gao Chengdao: "Mountain ghost."
