Chapter 73: Back to Beidou Division(1/2)
As expected, there were quite a few houses on both sides, and the yards were all about the same size. Some were directly exposed to the outside without walls. I followed Mo Wen for a long distance and stopped at a relatively remote location. There were walls, and they were high.
.
Looking at this airtight layout, it was so familiar that she quickly thought of where it was. It was the place filled with raw materials where she had lived before.
Looking back, there are no houses behind. No wonder it feels so deserted. It turns out that it is to the side.
Mo Wen opened the door and said to Fengling: "You have been to this place before, so I won't introduce it to you. Have a good rest at night and get familiar with it tomorrow. Don't worry about anything else."
Fang Yi said: "I'll take you for a walk tomorrow, but you haven't told me how you got in."
Mo Wen glanced at him silently and quickly pulled him away, "Have a good rest and say goodbye."
Fengling nodded, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where does Mu Mingran live?"
He turned around and was about to answer, but Fang Yi said first: "Bingcube, she lives in the east, which is far away from you. If you want to find her, I can take you there."
He was eager to give it a try, but Fengling was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, so she refused: "Thank you, but forget it. It's inconvenient to disturb her so late. It's better to find her tomorrow."
"Okay." He was a little disappointed.
Mo Wen pulled him away directly.
After they left, Fengling closed the door and walked inside. When she came to the house where she lived, she touched the location of the candlestick. She took a look at her sleeve pockets and found that there were no candles on her body after she changed her clothes. Then she felt embarrassed. It was so dark that she didn't know where it was.
Is there any fire starter? Besides, she can only use a fire stick to light a fire.
Sighing, she gave up, reached for the bed, took off her shoes, pulled off her mask and coat, and got under the covers.
But not long after she lay down, someone came into the room without saying hello.
She was startled and touched the dagger she carried with her to prepare for battle. Then she saw the dark shadow lighting the candle for her, and then there was light in the room. Through the light, she saw Mu Mingran who had taken off his mask.
He put the knife back on the bedside and walked over to complain: "Mumu, couldn't you say hello in advance? Knock on the door and open a door or something, I'm scared to death."
I have been victimized frequently recently, and I have developed paranoia about being victimized.
Mu Mingran also carried a food box in his hand, took out a bowl of soup and put it on the table.
Fengling opened the lid, and the fragrance of old duck soup came. She was slightly stunned: "Why are you bringing a midnight snack?"
Mu Mingran said seriously: "I thought you didn't eat."
I almost said this sentence after eating it, but when I looked at her, Fengling changed my words.
"How do you know I haven't eaten? You are the baby in my belly, right?" she joked.
Mu Mingran's expression was stunned. Is there a baby in the woman's belly? She stared at Fengling in a strange way for a while.
Fengling had already picked up the spoon and started drinking: "It tastes so good. Is there any rice at this time? Did you cook it yourself?"
She nodded and sat down next to Fengling.
Fengling said: "By the way, do you have any Huozhezi? Give me one. It turns out that I lost it."
Mu Mingran put the one he had just used on the table to her, looked her over, and asked, "I heard you were poisoned, are you okay?"
Feng Ling replied easily without raising his head: "What can happen to me? I have never seen anyone who is more lucky than me. Every time I am in danger, I am saved by someone, either by you or by others. Look.
God is here to bless me."
Mu Mingran was silent for a moment and then said: "I have known about the spy for a long time, but I never thought that His Majesty would use you as bait."
"It doesn't matter, although it is dangerous this time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, but it also gave me an opportunity to gain His Majesty's trust, which is quite worth it." She drank the soup in one breath, stood up and went to take off Mu Mingran's clothes: "Your breath is not stable, let me see where you are injured.
look."
Mu Mingran avoided his eyes and said, "I'm not injured. You saw it wrong."
"Really?" Fengling stopped.
She hummed and didn't look at her.
Fengling shook her head and laughed: "You, you are not born to lie, you can see it right away. Don't lie. I have already heard about your punishment from Mr. Qi. You didn't let me because I was injured."
Looking at the situation, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep all night.”
"I'm fine, I've been given the medicine." Mu Mingran was still struggling.
However, she couldn't beat Fengling, and reminded: "If you don't take the initiative, I will use violence. By then, both of you and I will be injured and we will bleed like rivers."
After struggling for a while, Mu Mingran finally compromised, "I'll do it myself."
The belt was loosened, the top was pulled down to the waist, and the skin on the back was exposed. Under the warm light, the dense whip marks all over the body looked scary at first glance, but in fact there were no wounds. Those were made from cows.
The marks left by the whipping of soft tendons.
This kind of punishment will not affect subsequent free activities, but it will be very painful when being tortured.
His fingertips lightly touched her purple marks, and he noticed that her breathing stopped for a second, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Fengling silently pulled her clothes back into place and remained silent for a long time before speaking softly: "I'm sorry."
Mu Mingran adjusted his belt and replied without any emotion: "Such an injury is nothing to me. I don't feel anything anymore. You don't have to blame yourself. I decided to make this mistake myself."
This is nothing, so how painful was her previous life?
Fengling felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, which was heavy and weighed down by many things. Mu Mingran was a loyal subordinate of the male emperor. If she wanted to kill the male emperor then, the two of them would definitely be hostile. She did not want to see such a result.
She suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about quitting Beidou Division and living your own life?"
Mu Mingran looked back at her in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly said this, but she refused: "I have no relatives anymore. Even if I leave Beidou Division, I have nowhere to go. It's better to stay here, at least I can still
There is a goal.”
After she finished speaking, she took Fengling's hand and wrote the word "Ear" on her palm.
Ears, do walls have ears?
Seeing that she didn't understand, Mu Mingran wrote two more words, "Don't ask."
Fei Ling was shocked and suddenly connected. She meant that Mo Wen was listening. No wonder the conversation could be heard from such a distance. Mu Mingran said before that the people in Tianshu, except for the most senior managers, are some special talents.
And Mo Wen has a gilt mask, so Mo Wen is one of the special talents?
So his talent is excellent hearing?
After getting this information, she realized it and said: "No wonder you were punished. It turned out that you were reported to the police."
Mu Mingran smiled and explained for Mo Wen: "This is his responsibility."
Fengling nodded without delving into the matter and asked her: "I can enter and exit Beidou Division freely now, but I don't know if I can leave this mountain and return to the imperial city. I know that I can't show up with this face, but I
I have to go out for something very important."
Mu Mingran thought: "People here generally don't restrict their freedom. If there is no other order, you can go out. But now the wind is tight and your injury is not healed yet. It's best not to move around. I can help you if you want.
Running errands for you."
Fengling hesitated. Tang Shi and the others could ask Mu Mingran to help report the news, but Chen Juanjuan could not let outsiders come, unless Tang Shi was there.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After thinking for a while, she agreed, stood up and said, "Wait for me."
She walked to the desk, where she had the Four Treasures of the Study. She took out a piece of paper and wrote a few lines on it, then folded it into a special shape. The guarantee of doing this was that if someone opened the letter, the recipient would see it.
He gave the note to Mu Ming and said, "Don't give it to anyone except Tang poetry."
Mu Mingran responded: "Okay."
Looking at her, Fengling looked guilty and blamed herself: "I actually asked a wounded person to deliver a message for me. It's so cruel. How about you stay here tonight and I'll give you a warm bed as a reward."
Mu Mingran felt disgusted and ran away.
She couldn't help but laugh, mocking Mu Mingran and shouting: "By the way, I forgot my clothes, please lend me a set."
And it seems like she hasn’t showered in a few days...
The well was outside, but because there were wounds on my chest, I couldn't touch the water, so I had to crawl back under the quilt and sleep.
After Mu Mingran climbed over the high wall, he paused at the door, staring at the strangely folded piece of paper in his hand with deep eyes.
Ministry of Punishments Mortuary.
A man in black rummaged around among the corpses, finally stopping at one place and picking up the corpse's name tag, which had the word "Chen Ling" written on it.
Her breath suddenly froze, and she lifted the linen cloth tremblingly, revealing a face ulcerated by poison, the outline of which could be vaguely seen.
She almost lost her temper at the sight before her, but she still held back her emotions and checked everywhere. In the end, she found many clues. There were no arrow wounds on the left chest, and the leg bones of the corpse were intact and showed no signs of breakage.
And the height seemed wrong. She frowned, laid herself on the ground in a parallel line with the corpse's feet, and then compared the height difference between the two, she found that the difference was at least half a head.
After getting up, she cursed in a low voice: "You stinky girl, where did you go? Don't you even know how to report that you are safe? I will punish you the next time I see you!"
But compared to when she came, her steps were obviously much more relaxed when she left.
Fengling got up at dawn. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Fang Yi leaning against the wall as if he was boneless. He greeted her with a smile: "You're up. Are you going to have breakfast? I'll take you."
Fengling thought that she really didn't know where to eat, so she agreed: "Thank you."
