Northern Liao Dynasty Chapter 13 Between Flowers

In front of Luofengyuan, Qin Mu prepared two brown horses, and they got on the horses together with Hua Qianying.

"Brother Qin Mu, where are we going?"

Qin Mu looked back and smiled faintly: "Follow me and you'll know."

Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile, although it is describing the attitude of a woman, but in Hua Qianying's eyes, it couldn't be more appropriate.

On a daily basis, Qin Mu could see some emotional fluctuations when facing Yunying, but mostly looked indifferent when facing himself.The smile just now made Hua Qianying feel as if she was out of the world, her mind was lost and her heart was pounding wildly.

The two rode their horses and galloped eastward for half a day, and stopped at a mountain top.

This place is called Mucang Mountain. The mountain road is steep and overgrown with weeds. Few people come here on weekdays.The two dismounted and walked around to the mountainside. There was a broken tree in front of it, surrounded by lush branches and leaves.Ordinary people see it and think they have nowhere to go.

"Here?!..." Hua Qianying's eyes flickered, and there was an indescribable joy in her expression.

He let go of the rein and walked forward, rummaging among the branches and leaves near the tree trunk, looking back and smiling after a while: "I found it."

Among the branches and leaves, there is a small path, which is quiet and far-reaching.Qin Mu led the horse and followed Hua Qianying slowly into the room.

At the end of the path, the scenery is wonderful and beautiful, with beautiful trees verdant, strange flowers shining, and a unique cave.

Surrounded by green grass, all kinds of exotic flowers are everywhere, Qin Mu walked forward slowly, looking sideways at Hua Qianying and said: "This is the place we first met, did I remember wrong?"

"Brother Qin Mu, you...you still remember?" Hua Qianying raised her eyes to look at Qin Mu, with tears in her eyes, and she seemed to have an indescribable touch in her heart.

"I remember, of course I remember... That year, Yunying was 16 years old, and you were 15 years old..." Qin Mu smiled slightly, looked at the surrounding scenery, and his eyes fell on a place far away...

Seven years ago

An elegant and handsome young man in a jade robe walks in the mountains full of spring with a beautiful young girl.The girl was dressed in a white dress with long placket and wide sleeves. The skirt swayed in the breeze, and her long hair like a waterfall was hanging down her side.

The girl showed her face and said, "Brother Qin, this place is so beautiful, how did you find such a good place?"

Qin Mu smiled slightly: "As long as you like it."

"I like it, of course I like it."

Yunying looked around, and turned her eyes to the colorful place, where the colorful butterflies fluttered around and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.

"Brother Qin, wait for me..."

I saw Yunying smiled sweetly, and brushed away the willows.Qin Mu stared at Yunying's figure, his eyes never moving away.She leaned over to pick the flowers, and played with them with a smile on her face. After a while, she folded them back with a wreath in her hand.

"Brother Qin, I see that the flowers here are blooming very well. I'll weave a wreath for you. Do you like it?"

"I like it, of course I like it." Qin Mu took the wreath and held it in his hand.

Yunying turned her head and pointed to a little distance and said, "There are some different flowers there. I'll weave a garland and bring it back to Yinling. She will definitely like it too."

As soon as the words fell, Yunying ran away like a light cloud. Qin Mu looked at the graceful figure who had run away, shook his head, looked at the wreath in his hand, and what appeared in front of his eyes was the appearance of her carrying it. His eyes were full of tenderness.

"Ah..." Suddenly, Yunying's scream came from a little distance away, Qin Mu's expression changed, and he flew towards the sound.

In the dense grass, Yunying covered the back of her hand and trembled slightly. There were two tooth marks on the back of her hand. There was faint blood oozing from the tooth marks. The blood was dark purple, obviously poisoned.

In front of Yunying stood a girl who was about her age, with a rebellious look on her brows. The girl was wearing a dark green dress, with a sachet of the same color around her waist, and a nimble little sachet hovering around her wrist. The snake is spitting a snake-shaped son against Yunying.

The girl showed anger, and her tone was arrogant: "Hmph, who wants you to meddle in other people's business, scare away my spirit snake, and spoil my good deeds."

Before he could say a word, with a "swoosh", the nimble little snake flew away from the girl's wrist and hit Yunying's neck, waiting to drink the blood from her neck.

With a sound of "Hang", the sound of the sword wind piercing the air came suddenly, and I saw that the neck of the nimble little snake had been broken in two at seven inches, the girl looked startled, and looked behind Yunying.

Under the glow of the sky, a man was walking briskly, with a tall and straight figure, a pair of handsome eyes shining brightly, and a jade-colored brocade robe fluttering in the wind.

She stared at him in a daze, the pale golden light covered the front of his clothes, the white clothes were gorgeous, the jade tree was facing the wind, she completely forgot everything around her, only this figure was left in the world.

This figure was deeply reflected in the girl's eyes, and she will never forget it in this life.

At a glance, it is ten thousand years.

Sitting next to Qin Mu, Hua Qianying smiled awkwardly: "How did brother Qin Mu mention this? I...well... I didn't mean to hurt her. I also gave her the antidote later. ah."

"Then do you still remember how you were willing to hand over the antidote?"

"Ah? That... such an embarrassing thing is better not to mention..." Hua Qianying lowered her head, her face flushed red.

Qin Mulang laughed and said: "You were very arrogant back then, a few spankings on your butt would be considered light."

Seeing Qin Mu laugh loudly, Hua Qianying was ashamed and annoyed: "My parents are so old, the master is not willing to beat me...you really can do it..."

Qin Mu didn't answer, but seemed to be thinking about something silently, and the two sat quietly like this.

The sun is approaching the rosy clouds, and the evening clouds are long in the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun is warm.

Qin Mu got up and said, "Let's go, go eat something."

After going down the mountain and walking for a few miles, the two came to the Yunlai Restaurant in the town.Yunlai Restaurant is well-known far and wide for its unique dishes and novel styles, and is also very popular among girls.Hua Qianying comes here every year for her birthday.

The child put on the last plate of dishes, said "Guest officer, please take your time" and exited the box.

Hua Qianying looked at the brocade fish, Linglong dumplings, Ningxiangyan, Baiwei shrimp, and lotus soup on the table, and looked at Qin Mu in surprise.

Qin Mu poured a glass of wine for Hua Qianying, smiled lightly and said, "These are all your favorite food, do I remember correctly?"

"Brother Qin Mu, you even remember my favorite food... I... I really didn't expect..." Hua Qianying said with tears in her eyes, "You...you treat me so well."

"Eat more if you like it." Qin Mu said lightly, and put some of each dish into Hua Qianying's bowl.

"Well, you should eat more too." Seeing Qin Mu's empty bowl, Hua Qianying picked up a lot of dishes for him.

During this meal, Hua Qianying ate very happily. She told a lot of interesting stories from all over the world. She learned art from her master when she was a child, and she was punished by her master for being naughty.

When talking about meeting Qin Mu and Yunying, Hua Qianying's eyes dimmed, and she shook the empty jug on the table.

"Brother Qin Mu, do you know that I have always envied her, you have always put her affairs first in your heart, you always help her and protect her, no matter what she does...no matter what she does right or wrong, you never Don't blame her..."

"You said you've loved her for a long time... But do you know that I've loved you for a long time too..."

"Brother Qin Mu, have you ever seen me in your eyes..."

With Hua Qianying's drinking capacity, although it is not possible to say that she will not be drunk after a thousand cups, she will not be drunk after drinking this pot. Now that she is talking about the words that have been buried in her heart, her face is flushed and her eyes are blurred. It really came true. : Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk.

Qin Mu stood by the window, listening to Hua Qianying's drunken words, seemed to sigh softly, stretched out his hand and gently opened the window.The night wind blows in from the window, it is cold and clear, and it takes away a little alcohol smell, which makes people feel refreshed.

Qin Mu quietly looked into the distance, thoughtful, for a long time, turned his head and said to Hua Qianying: "Qianying, I will take you to a place."

The bright moon hangs high, the valley is quiet, and the sound of horseshoes is slow and orderly. The two hold the reins and walk slowly at the bottom of a valley.After walking more than a hundred steps, we bypassed a mountain depression, and saw the gurgling water not far away, converging into a lake at a low place.Under the cold and clear light, it looks like a bright mirror on the platform. The lake waves are clear and free of dust.

"Qianying, do you still remember this place?" Qin Mu led the horse all the way to the edge of the lake, then let go of the rein, allowing the horse to drink water with its head bowed by the lake.

"I remember, of course I remember. Four years ago, on my birthday, you brought Yunying here with me..." Hua Qianying walked to his side, let go of the horse rope, and sat on the ground beside him.

"Yeah, it's been four years. Compared with when we first met, you are no longer so arrogant, and your temper has also restrained a lot."

"Then...do you like me like this?" Hua Qianying frowned softly and smiled softly, showing the shy posture of a little woman.

Qin Mu stared at Hua Qianying, seven years ago she was just a spoiled child, but now she has grown into a graceful figure.She has been following and helping him all these years. It's not that he doesn't know or doesn't understand, it's just... This love, this heart, has been completely entrusted to another person long before he met her.

What I can bring her is always only harm...

Hua Qianying was stared at by Qin Mu for a moment, her heart was pounding, and she lowered her head in embarrassment: "Brother Qin Mu, why... why are you looking at me like this?"

Qin Mu asked lightly: "Qianying, you never lie to me, do you?"

Hua Qianying looked up at him, startled, although she didn't understand the meaning of Qin Mu's unreasonable question, she nodded quickly and said with a smile, "That's natural."

Qin Mu then asked: "Qianying, tell me the truth, is there any way to save Yunying?"

Hua Qianying's heart turned cold, her face turned cold, she turned sideways, and said, "No."

This answer was expected by Qin Mu. He just smiled lightly and asked again: "Qianying, how long have we known each other?"

Hua Qianying still turned sideways, and replied, "Seven years."

"Yeah, it's been seven years. I remember where we met, what you like to eat, and things you probably didn't even notice yourself."

"What... what is it?" Hua Qianying turned around curiously.

"You are innocent, not good at hiding, and your emotions are full of emotions. And every time you tell a lie, you will subconsciously turn your body sideways, lower your head, and play with your shoulder-hanging hair with your hands." Qin Mu looked at it leisurely. Zhu Hua Qianying said calmly, "And you are now... this is what you look like."

Hua Qianying was stunned, and looked at her hands. Sure enough, there were a few strands of hair wrapped around Xian Xiansu's hands, and she blushed immediately, and put her hands down.

Qin Mu continued: "When Zhan Zhao asked you if there was any other way, you already looked like this. I guessed something at that time, but now I just confirmed it."

Tears welled up in Hua Qianying's eyes, choked up her voice, and said, "Why are you treating me so well today? It turns out...it turns out that you are plotting against me..."

Wiping away tears, calming down, looking at Qin Mu with a dignified look, he said: "That's right, I lied to you, I lied to you, now you have proved it, what, plan to strike me dead with one palm? "

Qin Mu didn't get angry, sighed faintly, and said softly: "Qianying, although you have a bit of arrogance, you are definitely not a bad-hearted woman. You have done your best for her this year. Thank you very much. Tell me, is it because this method is very dangerous that you are hiding it from me? Is it... something to do with me?"

Hua Qianying was originally annoyed that Qin Mu set up a scheme against her, but instead of blaming herself, she interceded for herself. In fact, he guessed right. She kept it from him, and it was true that this method would harm him. No matter how you do it, you will not do anything to hurt him.

Qin Mu saw that Hua Qianying was still reluctant to speak, so he slowed down his voice, and there was a trace of pleading: "Qianying, tell me, I beg you."

Hua Qianying's eyes widened suddenly, she looked at him in disbelief, and raised her voice, "You begged me? You begged me for her? You are so proud, you begged me?"

"Brother Qin Mu, wake up, she doesn't have you in her heart!"

Hua Qianying grabbed Qin Mu's arm and stared at him with tears streaming from her eyes.

"Brother Qin Mu, look at me, the person next to you is me, it's me..."

"I've always loved you too, Brother Qin Mu..."

Qin Mu stretched out his hand and lightly pressed Hua Qianying's hand, smiled lightly, and said, "Qianying, I understand, I have understood all these years, but I can't respond to you, it's not that you are bad, but my heart The heart has already been given to her."

"Why? For someone who doesn't love you, is it worth it?"

"Qianying, is it worth it for you to follow me like this for seven years?"

Hua Qianying was unable to answer this question.Because what they both did was just the same thing, giving for the one they love without complaint or regret.

"Qianying, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but I have to let you understand that no matter how long Yunying can live, even if she is gone, I can't accept you."

"Why? Why can't you accept me?"

"Qianying, I promised her that after she dies, I will avenge her. After that, I will take her all over the country, wherever she wants to go, wherever she wants to see... ...Until, I found a paradise, buried her there, and stayed with her..."

He stared into the distance, with a smile on his lips, and a ray of deep-seated tenderness flowed slowly in the smile.At this moment, Hua Qianying deeply felt his thoughts, felt the scene he was talking about.

"Don't say it! Don't say it!"

Hua Qianying tightly covered her ears with her hands, and screamed heartbreakingly.

"You treat me like this...Qin Mu, I hate you! I hate you to death!"

Looking at Hua Qianying's disappearing figure, Qin Mu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yunying, I hope that my desperate plan can really save you..."

He sat by the lake, closed his eyes, the ripples of light and water floated brightly and darkly on his handsome face, and his extremely low voice was scattered in the wind and gradually disappeared.

Yin time is approaching, it is a good time for people to fall asleep soundly, but at this moment, there is a person sitting quietly in front of the table.

Several red candles on the table had been replaced, Qin Mu still didn't intend to fall asleep, but just looked at the door calmly, wondering if he was thinking about something or waiting for someone.

Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The red candle was half burned, and the door was pushed open very lightly.

Qin Mu looked up at the person who came, and said quietly: "You are here."

With red eyes, Hua Qianying stepped into Qin Mu's room, turned around and closed the door, and asked angrily, "How do you know that I will definitely come?"

Qin Mu smiled lightly and said, "I've known you for so long, I'm more or less sure of your temperament."

Seeing Qin Mu eating himself to death, Hua Qianying felt unwilling, but he was not wrong.

Qin Mu asked: "Have you figured it out? Are you willing to say it?"

Hua Qianying had already calmed down, and said, "There is indeed another way to save her, but this way is not foolproof."

"Go on."

"The master said that it is necessary to use the Ice Cicada Gu to absorb the cold poison in her body, transfer it to another person, and then transfer the true energy of the other person to her. The Ice Cicada Gu can only absorb half of the excess cold poison at most, so she can It can maintain life for eight months, but at the same time, another person will also suffer from the same cold poison, and can only live for eight months."

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that why you didn't tell me?"

Hua Qianying nodded: "The master said, this is the last solution. I know that you will try any method, but if the master can't refine the antidote within eight months, then you will die too. "

Qin Mu shook his head and smiled, "If there is a glimmer of hope to save her, what's the fear of death?"

Hua Qianying's eyes drooped, and she said coldly: "But don't forget, the master promised to save her, but he didn't promise to save you. Even if the master concocts the antidote, the master's rules, the master will never make an exception to save you. "

"Since you're here, you've already figured out a way, haven't you?"

"Yes, I'd like to tell you that it's not for her, but for myself." Hua Qianying walked in front of Qin Mu, stopped, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "I want you to marry me."

"Marry you?" Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he met Shanghua Qianying's calm gaze.

Hua Qianying said quietly: "Master loves me the most and treats me as his own. If you marry me, you will no longer be an outsider to Master. Master will definitely save you."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Hua Qianying turned around, turned her back to him, pouted, and said, "Even if you die, you will still be my Hua Qianying's husband, and I will never give you up to her."

Qin Mu chuckled, got up slowly, put his arms around her waist behind him, buried his head on her neck, and whispered: "Qianying, will you let me die?"

The soft voice and his breath brushed towards her ears, and the gentle breath instantly wrapped her whole body. Hua Qianying was startled, turned around and hugged him, tears fell uncontrollably: "No, brother Qin Mu, I will never will kill you."

The moonlight is hazy, the shadow of the candle is gently flickering, the fragrance is faint and intoxicating, pulling the heartstrings, moving the spirit, lingering in the heart, tender and lingering.
