Mu Li couldn't calm down, she glanced at Zhan Zhao, her voice could freeze, "Zhan Zhao, get out of the way."

Zhan Zhao stood motionless: "Zhan Zhao is here today, so you can't let yourself mess around."

Mu Li sneered a bit: "Killing for life, is it also a mess?"

"If Xiao Wuniang commits murder, she will be dealt with according to the king's law, so that those who died in vain can rest in peace. How is it different from those thugs who trade violence for violence like you?"

Mu Li gritted his teeth: "Zhan Zhao, you forced me." As he spoke, he was about to strike as soon as he raised his body.

Suddenly, there was a soft "click", and everyone's eyes blurred, there was already a man in white in the room, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a long body standing tall, it was Bai Yutang.

Mu Li was startled slightly, let out a sigh of relief while holding it, and froze there for a while.

Bai Yutang was expressionless, looked at Zhan Zhao first, and said calmly: "It's a step too late, he's gone."

Before Zhan Zhao could say anything, Mu Li suddenly shuddered, and his mind was more than half awake.They had agreed earlier that the troops would split into three groups. He and Zhan Zhao would trap Xiao Wuniang and try to extract the whereabouts of Dou Zi and her accomplices from her. I am looking for the girl named Qiao Ya in the tailor shop in the tailor shop. If I guess correctly, she should be Ruan Hongyu, Miao Guanyin, one of the Seven Wonderful People.

Even if Ruan Hongyu didn't collude with Xiao Wuniang, they would definitely communicate with each other. How could she leave alone?It is also possible that Ruan Hongyu smelled the danger first and fled with Dou Zi, or they had already discussed that Ruan Hongyu took Dou Zi to the front and went south to fight with the others...

Mu Li looked at Bai Yutang, still struggling with a faint hope in his heart: "He's gone? Isn't he still there during the day?" As he spoke, his eyes turned to Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang smiled coldly: "The master has long since left, leaving behind a substitute."

Muchen didn't give up: "What about the substitute?"

Bai Yutang lifted his chin outward: "In the courtyard."

Before he could finish his sentence, Muli had already flew out, and rushed back after a while. She looked extremely annoyed, and before she could say a word, she reached out and grabbed Bai Yutang's collar, gnashing her teeth, "Why did you die? Who asked you to kill him?" of?"

Bai Yutang dodged to avoid Mu Li, and said with a cold face, "Can't you kill him? Then what did you want to do just now?"

Mu Li looked at Bai Yutang angrily, moved his lips, but said nothing.Bai Yutang didn't bother to talk to her any more, and waved his hand to the arresters behind him who had been stupefied for a long time: "Take Xiao Wuniang out."

It wasn't until the footsteps of the policemen could no longer be heard that Mu Li found his voice again, and said in a hoarse voice, "You should keep someone alive. If you have one more survivor, we will know more."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Really? Isn't it wrong to kill people for their lives?"

"You..." Mu Li was angry and impatient, just said a word, and suddenly realized that what Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao was exactly what she said to Zhan Zhao before, and it was not right to refute it, or not to refute it. It turned red.

Bai Yutang had already turned his face away and ignored her, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Those were all poisoned to death. Let Mr. Gongsun take a look at dawn, maybe you can see something."

Zhan Zhao nodded, followed Bai Yutang out of the room, looked back at Muli standing there, blankly wondering what he was thinking, sighed in his heart, and said to Bai Yutang: "I'll go to the tailor shop again, Maybe we can find some clues." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Fifth Master is also going to have a look, but I was in a hurry and didn't look carefully."

Hearing that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were going far away, Mu Li moved out step by step in a stupid way, and when he reached the yard, he suddenly didn't know where to go.She is an outsider in Kaifeng Mansion, and she has nothing to do with Bai Yutang. Taibai Residence was burned to ashes by a fire, and now she has no place to stay.

Mu Li stood in the yard empty-heartedly for a while, and finally realized that her affairs in the capital were serious.Hu Qingtian is killed, Li Ziyan and Xiao Wuniang are arrested, Bao Zheng will give a fair trial, which is better than cutting her down with a knife to vent her anger; Ruan Hongyu escapes, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang will follow this line to trace, if luck is good If you do, you can save Douzi; the little uncle doesn't need her there, just like what the little uncle said, he serves in the court and has to guard the border, so he can't take care of himself all the time, she has to learn to protect himself; Her few relatives in this world, her cousin Jiang Wenfei committed suicide, and her uncle Bai Guang went away, no matter in the world, they probably don't want to see her again; even Taibaiju now has Bai Yutang to pay for the reconstruction... this place, she can leave with peace of mind.

Next step, where to go?I don't know, Muchen rubbed his sore throat, raised his feet and walked out slowly in a random direction.What she wants to do most now is to go to the kitchen to cook for Master. She will make Master's favorite soup dumplings and hibiscus eggs, add two shrimps, and boil a corner of wine, and then lean on Master's knees to cuddle He tells stories...

No wonder the feeling of losing a loved one is so tormenting and so long.That kind of feeling is like a piece of your life is forcibly taken away, stretched and bloody, as long as you don’t fill up this empty space, it will never stop reminding you of it The presence.

But what should I use to fill the void?Mu Li looked up at the sky, the moon in the sky was frighteningly round and dazzlingly bright, she just glanced at it, then quickly lowered her head, and suddenly said to herself: "The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, today is more than ten Come on?" After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of it, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, it seemed that his life was really hopeless.

In the past, towns and cities around the world often had gatherings on the [-]th or [-]th, and it was very lively. Sometimes the master would take her for a stroll, buy her a sugar figurine, or a kite or something like that to coax her. She was happy, she followed the master to travel north and south, but she always liked to take these things with her, and kept them in her hand when she had nothing to do. When the master left, she found a clean place to burn those things and looked at the drawing. When the little kite in the shape of a swallow was blowing black smoke and turning into ashes, she thought that no one would buy her these playthings again in the future.

After arriving in Kaifeng, she also rushed to the market, went out with a full purse, and wandered from street to street without anyone to accompany her, but she kept shopping until her purse was empty, and bought herself two bags full of goodies. She put everything that was fun to eat in the inn, and in the end probably burned it all up, not even ashes left.

No matter who bought it, it ended up being a mess in the end. I don't know if it was God's arrangement. Nothing can stay with her for a long time.

Mu Li was thinking about his own thoughts and walking while walking, gradually felt cold, and sneezed, only to realize that he had reached the outskirts of the city, it was dark all around, and the outline of a Town God's Temple in front looked very familiar in the dark night.

Going around in circles, it turned back to this Town God's Temple.

This is really the most dilapidated and smallest Town God's Temple that Muli has ever seen. Two wooden boards are used as the temple gate, and a whole room is used as the main hall.

However, there are finally a few tiles covering the head.

Mu Li pushed the door open and went in. The moment he pushed the door, he subconsciously leaned back, and suddenly remembered that he had stabbed Zhan Zhao once when he opened the door. I don't know what Zhan Zhao was thinking at the time, I haven't had a chance to talk to him after that day, I should find an opportunity to apologize, and thank you, if it wasn't for him, I would have confessed to the City God [-]% of the time Even if you are lucky enough to save your life, there is no guarantee that you will not be caught by Xiao Wuniang and the others, then you might as well die.

Due to the wind brought in by opening the door, the temple was full of dust and a musty smell. Muqian couldn't help sneezing, took out a fire pocket, shook it, and lit some kerosene left in the lamp.With the help of the dim light, Mu Li saw that although there was a lot of dust in the hall, there was no trace of blood. It should be that Zhan Zhao went back to deal with it that day, so as not to make people feel suspicious.

Mu Li sighed Zhan Zhao's carefulness in his heart, and went around the hall again, unable to stand the dust, so he went out again.After wandering around for a long time, I couldn't find a clean place. Finally, after thinking about it, I jumped to the top of the temple.The roof of the temple was so overhanging that it was difficult to get a foothold. Muchen moved for a long time, and finally found a clean place to lie down.The tiles under her body hurt her back, and the slanted angle of the eaves made it easy for her to roll over if she wanted to, but it was very strong anyway, so she shouldn't be lying down.

Muchen rested his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and let out a long breath, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.I was thinking vaguely, people say that the sky is the house and the ground is the bed, and I have tiles as the bed, I don’t know how much better than that, why don’t I just stay here all night, get up early tomorrow morning to find the way south, and Wouldn't it be cool to save yourself the trouble of investing in some kind of inn?It’s just that it’s a bit cold at night, Mu Li rubbed his hands, and said silently in his heart, it would be great if there was wine, Fen wine is the best, it’s warm enough to drink in the belly, I’m afraid even God envy her...

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a soft "click" on the tiles beside him, Mu Li suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up tensely, only to see Zhan Zhao standing on the other side of the cornice, with a smile that was not a smile Looking at her, what she was holding in her hand... seemed to be a wine jar?

Mu Li rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn't dazzled, then pinched himself again to make sure it wasn't a dream, and then he believed that Zhan Zhao really came, but why did Zhan Zhao come?Mu Li's eyes lingered on the wine jar for a while, and then lay down with her arms on her pillow again, only looking at Zhan Zhao with her face tilted: "Zhan Zhao, why are you here?"

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly: "I heard from Mai Peng that you went east, so I guessed you were here."

Mu Li muttered something, but Zhan Zhao didn't hear her, and asked her, "What did you say?"

Muchen curled her lips: "You came to find me? What are you doing? It's... Did you find any clues in the tailor's shop?"

Zhan Zhao lifted his robe and sat down on the tile, with a smile in his voice: "Why, I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" After a pause, he added: "It's true that nothing was found in the tailor shop, Ruan Hongyu They escaped cleanly and left nothing behind, including their victims."

Muchen sighed a long time: "I knew this woman was cruel and merciless. If the beans fell into her hands, I don't know how much I would suffer."

Zhan Zhao looked into Mu Li's eyes: "What about you? What are you doing running out in the middle of the night?"

Mu Li blinked her eyes: "Master Zhan, you don't want to arrest me according to the arrest document, do you?"

Zhan Zhao laughed, and shook the wine jar in his hand: "Am I holding this to catch you? Did you smell the wine and obediently go back with me?" As he said, he stretched out his hand and shattered the mud seal.

Muchen took a deep breath, smacked his lips and said, "20-year-old Zhuyeqing, good wine!"

Zhan Zhao laughed: "Your nose is really good. I got it from Brother Bai. I never had a chance to drink it, so I just brought it here."

Muchen's eyes were bright, but he still pretended to regret and said: "'Bamboo leaves are green, and grapes are red.' Green bamboo leaves and wine are a perfect match. Unfortunately, there is no grape wine here, only a glass of night light. "He said with a smile.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, and slowly chanted, "'The wind is full of bamboo leaves, and the moon is full of fragrance.' Coincidentally, there is an osmanthus forest in front of us. Why don't you and I drink in the forest and be arty again?"

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao would also laugh at himself with these polite words, Mu Li laughed and wanted to go, but shook his head and said: "No, I finally lay down and can't move."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Why are you drinking while lying down like this?"

Muchen blinked and pretended to be mysterious: "You don't know about this." After finishing speaking, he paused meaningfully for a long time, and then said, "Of course I drink it with my mouth, do you still use my ears?" After speaking, I couldn't help but laughed.

Zhan Zhao also laughed, and stretched out his hand to pour the wine into Mu Li's mouth: "Then I'll pour the wine, you can catch it."

Mu Li raised her eyebrows: "It's so difficult, you can pour it casually, and I'll drink a jar after pouring it." After speaking, she opened her mouth as expected.

With a tilt of Zhan Zhao's hand, a line of wine from the jar fell into Mu Li's mouth, Mu Li didn't take a breath, and swallowed it mouthful without blinking.

Zhan Zhao fell down for a while, after all, he was afraid that she would choke if he didn't have enough skill, so he couldn't stop falling.Mu Li let out a long breath, and said, "Happy." Looking at Zhan Zhao with a smile, "Why did you remember to buy me a drink?"

Zhan Zhao said in a gentle voice, "Come out without saying hello, are you leaving?"

The smile on Mu Li's lips froze, and he paused for a long time before he said slowly: "There is no banquet that never ends. Always staying in one place is too boring."

Zhan Zhao's eyes flickered: "Taibaiju is about to open again, is shopkeeper Mu going?"

Muchen stuck out her tongue: "If you don't go to the old one, you won't get the new one. Now it's the shopkeeper Bai."

"Brother Bai is a person who can hold his temper and be the shopkeeper."

Muchen chuckled twice: "Could it be that I can hold back my temper? Mr. Zhan, you think highly of me."

Zhan Zhao frowned: "Mu Li, you..." After saying a word, he closed his mouth again.

Mu Li was suddenly afraid that Zhan Zhao would continue talking, so he quickly reached out to take the wine jar from Zhan Zhao's hand, took a big gulp, tapped the jar lightly with his fingers, and said in a gentle voice, "Bamboo leaves leave the bottle full, peach blossoms are a long way away .”

Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart, when he knew about Muli, he made up his mind to leave, reached out and took out a small object from his pocket, handed it to Muli and said, "Look at this, is it yours?"

Muchen took it and squinted his eyes. It was a small black jade beast with long tail and small ears. It looked like a little kitten or a fat little fox. It smiled very wickedly. Playfully, Mu Li really looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it... Mu Li looked up and asked Zhan Zhao: "Where did this come from? The carving is so cute."

Zhan Zhao said: "That day there was a fire in Taibai Residence, I saw it in a room, and it looked like your room, so I just took it out. There are too many things in the past few days, I didn't remember to ask you .”

Muchen caressed the little beast in his hand, and slowly remembered that it was bought by himself in an antique shop when he went to the market the month before last. The carving was so cute, she bought it, and then put it next to the pillow, but forgot to put it away.

She always thought that the fire burned everything down. It turned out that after Ri Zhanzhao entered the fire scene, he took it out for her, and now he brought it back to her...

Muchen touched the little beast's ears with her fingers, and suddenly something warmed up in her heart. She couldn't help laughing: "Well, it's mine, and it didn't burn out." She also wanted to say a few words of thanks , but it was all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even say a word.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

The two of them were silent like this, one lying down and the other sitting, you took a sip and the other took a sip, and drank the bamboo leaf green in the jar to the bottom.Bamboo leaf green is sweet and slightly bitter in the mouth, and the fragrant and gentle breath seems to drink all the way to the heart of Muchen.

When the wine was exhausted and the sky was full of light, Mu Li raised his eyes, and the mountains in the distance were faintly tinged with light blue, and the lingering mist also rose.

The sun is about to rise.
