After Yan Xu left, the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Seeing that the two masters remained motionless in the same posture as when Yan Xu left, Dongshuang swallowed in fear and said cautiously: "I will leave first."
After saying that, she tiptoed back out of the door, and thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and finally Shi Qingxue sighed first and took the medicine bowl from Mo Junyang, "Drink the medicine first. Xiaoxiao said that the medicine will not be as effective when it is cold."
So Qingxue usually treats Mo Junyang's drinking of medicine as a national matter. Even though the two of them have some differences at this time, she still thinks about it.
After the two of them finished feeding a bowl of medicine as before, they fell silent again.
Shi Qingxue fiddled with the medicine bowl in her hand, and asked in a calm tone: "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Mo Junyang paused and said, "Yan Xu has no good intentions, so don't go tonight."
Even if he really cares, Mo Junyang is still capable of making people angry to death with just one mouthful.
Shi Qingxue had already experienced Mo Junyang's "run first when something goes wrong" temperament, and thought he could handle it well, but at first glance he was still angry to death.
Her eyes widened, and countless curse words flashed through her mind. If she really opened her mouth, she would be able to say it non-stop for half an hour, and she would stop talking until the other person was speechless.
But Qingxue knew that there was no point in arguing with Mo Junyang at this time, so she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
After a long while, he still couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I won't go if there is danger, but what about you? Do you really think that you are a god and nothing will ever happen to you?"
Even gods are unable to catch him one day, not to mention that Mo Junyang is still a mortal
Just thinking about Mo Junyang attending the Hongmen Banquet alone in the evening, Shi Qingxue felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
But Mo Junyang still looked like he was the second in command, and he said in a calm tone: "I'll be fine."
Sure enough, there was no way to make Mo Junyang compromise through ordinary methods.
Shi Qingxue finally understood how terrifying and unreasonable this person's stubbornness was.
She took a deep look at Mo Junyang and asked in a low voice: "You will be fine... What about me? Have you ever thought about me?"
"That's why I told you not to go, it's not safe..." Mo Junyang took over and explained.
Shi Qingxue: "I know you are in danger but you want me to stay out of it. Mo Junyang, do you think my heart is really that cruel, or do you think I have no heart!"
Her voice almost became a scream at the end, and the pain unconsciously spread from her words.
She had just experienced the scene where Mo Junyang almost died. Even if Mo Junyang is fine now, can the pain and fear left in her heart really be gone like dust by blowing on it
no!
That scene was like a nail that pierced Shi Qingxue's heart so hard that it couldn't be pulled out. Even if it didn't aggravate the damage, it still couldn't be pulled out. It hurt even if it was touched.
She couldn't imagine the scene at that time. She only had one thought in her mind: from now on, no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would be with Mo Junyang.
We must die together.
But Mo Junyang obviously couldn't understand her mood. Instead, he would push her out at the slightest danger, as if she were some kind of fragile crystal doll that would shed a layer of expensive crystal powder if touched.
Is she really that incompetent and untrustworthy
Mo Junyang was a little anxious by Shi Qingxue's painful questions one after another. The emotions that were deliberately hidden by his indifference could no longer be hidden.
He held Shi Qingxue's hand with his backhand, lost his composure, and said anxiously: "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that something will happen to you. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I believe in you. I believe in you more than I believe in myself."
"real!"
“…”
This was probably the most urgent and detailed time Shi Qingxue had ever heard Mo Junyang speak in his two lifetimes.
Shi Qingxue listened carefully to Mo Junyang's words. She didn't believe that Mo Junyang would lie to her about this kind of thing, so she believed that Mo Junyang really didn't want to put herself in danger because he was worried about her, but this didn't It doesn't mean that she can accept such an arrangement.
She looked at Mo Junyang steadily and said word by word: "Okay, then let me follow you tonight."
Mo Junyang still wanted to refuse, but when he touched Shi Qingxue's firm gaze, he couldn't say any more words of refusal.
Ask yourself, does he really want to say no
But he insisted on making this decision because he couldn't bear the incident of Shi Qingxue's accident again.
In the end, Mo Junyang couldn't defeat Qingxue, and sighed lowly, saying, "Okay, but today's dinner will not be peaceful. You are not allowed to leave me even half a step."
Shi Qingxue immediately smiled sweetly, looking so cute, "Don't worry, it's not too late for me to guard you, so why would you want to leave?"
She rolled her round eyes, took Mo Junyang's arm, and sprinkled sweets for free, "Follow you, and I will be fine. Don't you still believe in your own abilities?"
Although Shi Qingxue had been complaining that Mo Junyang was too messy, she had to admit that the other party was very experienced in conspiracy and scheming, and no one could catch up with him.
The first time Mo Junyang was infected with corpse poison by Yan Xu, it was to save Mo Junzhan, but this time Mo Junyang knew that Yan Xu had no good intentions, and Mo Junyang sent him there, so he must have had a complete understanding of it. Countermeasures.
Even though Shi Qingxue didn't know anything yet, she was so inexplicably determined.
Who would have thought that Mo Junyang showed an imperceptible wry smile at this time, which was very different from his previous confident and calm appearance.
Shi Qingxue's first reaction was to rub her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong.
When she opened her eyes to look at Mo Junyang again, the other person had regained his calm and calm expression.
I really can't see anything.
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Is she really dazzled
Shi Qingxue shook her head to get rid of those random thoughts, and then pestered Mo Junyang to ask what happened tonight.
"Jun Yang, look, I'm going with you tonight. You have to tell me what you plan to do, right? Otherwise, if I don't know anything, wouldn't it be holding you back?"
Reasonable and well-founded.
Mo Junyang glanced at Shi Qingxue indifferently, pretending not to see the gossip soul burning in the other person's eyes.
He said slowly: "Although Yan Xu doesn't know why I was able to 'escape death,' he must have guessed that we already know the truth about the Jiangzhou plague. Do you think he can still sit still?"
This will definitely make you unable to sit still!
When Shi Qingxue thought that Yan Xu was probably frightened to the point of losing his soul, he felt happy and said with schadenfreude: "No wonder he came to invite you to dinner in such a hurry!"
Thinking back to when Mo Junyang first came to Jiangzhou City, Yan Xu wanted to kill Mo Junyang at first, not to mention his bad deeds. Later, his attitude towards the imperial envoy was always lukewarm, as if he did not treat the imperial envoy at all. Take it seriously.
It's just that the word "negligence" is not written on his face.
Of course, this was also the reason why Yan Xu was so confident that Mo Junyang and the others could not catch him.
Now that I was slapped in the face, I was naturally scared.
But is it too late to curry favor
No one with any brain would be merciful to those who have harmed them, right
Mo Junyang knew that Shi Qingxue had gone astray and pointed out seriously, "Since he dares to kill me, he will definitely not consider reconciling with me again. This dinner is not that simple."
Mo Junyang could already guess what Yan Xu planned to do.
After all, Shi Qingxue was not deeply involved in the world and did not understand the circles in the officialdom. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "You mean he will use this dinner to kill you? No, no? Does he not want his life? ?”
The last time something happened to Mo Junyang on his way to Shangcun, if he really died, Yan Xu might not be able to escape the blame. If something happened to Mo Junyang in the Prefecture, would Yan Xu still want his little one? Dead
Shi Qingxue couldn't understand what Yan Xu was thinking
Mo Junyang touched Qingxue's little head, pulled her into his arms, and explained in a good mood: "If he doesn't attack me, I will find out his crime sooner or later, and no one can protect him by then; On the contrary, if something happens to the imperial envoy and his entourage, Long Yan may be furious, but the situation is turbulent at this time, and the Northland is the main conflict. How can the emperor argue with his ministers over a 'dead man', and not worry the others? heart of."
Yes, if Mo Junyang really died accidentally, Yan Xu would be derelict in his duty.
But this dereliction of duty can be either big or small.
In the grand scheme of things, it would not be an exaggeration to behead people and exterminate the entire clan; but when it becomes a trivial matter, nothing will happen.
After all, if an adult dies in an accident, who can be blamed
Shi Qingxue finally figured out what Yan Xu was thinking, and immediately pouted in anger, and said unhappily: "Isn't this person too bold? We must not let him go!"
She secretly held her pink fist and looked angry. Her mind was filled with Yan Xu's things, and she didn't even notice that she was being held in someone's arms in such a possessive manner.
As if she belonged to him.
Qingxue not only didn't notice it, but subconsciously moved her body to find a more comfortable position for herself, and then continued to ask: "Speaking of which, I still haven't figured out how those people were infected with corpse poison? Do you understand?"
Although Shen Xiao said that one can only contract corpse poison by eating dead human flesh or by contaminating wounds with corpse poison, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that things are far from as simple as Shen Xiao said.
Corpse poison is no better than the plague. Although it can spread, it is not exaggerated enough to kill villages and towns.
Even if there are disaster victims who are so hungry that they eat dead human flesh, they are definitely a minority group.
Shi Qingxue thought about it for a while, and always felt that she would rather starve to death than eat dead human flesh to satisfy her hunger.
It wasn't a high-sounding reason, it was just so disgusting that she really couldn't put it down.
She also believes that most people have the most basic conscience and would rather die than kill each other.
Under such circumstances, why do so many people still die from the corpse virus
