Chapter 23 A Woman's Secret
Mu Yue, who has always been afraid of death, doesn't want to live anymore, wants to die.
He was tired of living and felt that it was meaningless to live like this.
16 years ago, Mu Yue escaped from Chang'an City and was driven out of Yumen Pass by Li Bai. After he returned the Qinghong Sword to Li Bai, he then took Niu Xiaoqing into the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty in his singing.
After escaping day and night for two months, Mu Yue and Niu Xiaoqing were so tired that their noses and mouths were tilted. When they arrived at Yiwu City, they stopped quickly. They also became husband and wife here.
But many years later, Yiwu City, known as Hami, was still too close. So close that it did not belong to the Western Regions administratively, and it still belonged to Longyou Road of the Tang Dynasty. In less than a year, killers from aristocratic families followed him here.
Continue to flee westward, the two of them crossed the Flame Mountain to Gaochang. This place is really the Western Regions, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
But Gaochang was still close. A year later, the two of them fled to Shule again. This time they were definitely far enough to reach the Pamir Mountains. However, perhaps because they were addicted to escaping, they still felt uneasy to live in Shule.
So, in the fourth year after leaving Chang'an, Mu Yue and Niu Xiaoqing crossed the Pamir Mountains, arrived at the westernmost end of the Tang Dynasty, and arrived at the bank of the Thunder Leaf River.
There are Tang people, Tocharis, Sogdians, and two families in the village are Xiaobolu. Anyway, they are all kinds of people and are very friendly. The villagers helped them build a small house and opened several acres of river beach land.
Then Mu Yue lived here for twelve years. In the twelve years, he and Niu Xiaoqing were no different from other village couples.
Sometimes when the villages that rely on the weather are really tired, Mu Yue would say to Niu Xiaoqing: "I'll go out for a walk." She understood and waited at home.
At most two days, Mu Yue would ride someone's horse, carrying a big bag on his back. The villagers were very happy for him when they saw this. Everyone smiled and Mu Yue would share some of it.
Harvest to neighbors.
They are very friendly to each other, but once they leave the village, the men and even women here are as brave as the atmosphere here. Many times, there is no difference between villagers and thieves.
The land is vast and the people are close to the business roads. As long as you have courage and good luck, you will never lose any gains.
As long as you don’t think badly about your neighbors, you will be good people. The villagers here are very gentle and very gentle in the village.
However, Mu Yue is really not a thief, it seems to be his bottom line. He just dressed up as a traveling businessman to lure the thief into the bait and then snatched the thief. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the bottom line, because thieves are often richer than pedestrians.
Yue just grasped the most important point.
Thieves are often better than traveling merchants. Mu Yue will naturally encounter resistance when he robs them. It doesn’t matter, just kill them, but you can’t beat them if you really can’t kill them, just run away.
Regarding the ability to escape and physical strength when escaping, I have been practicing hard in the mountains for 79 years and being chased by the sword immortal Li Bai for two months. I dare not say that all the Tang Dynasty is definitely the best in the west of the Pamir Mountains.
one.
Days pass day by day in such a peaceful and soothing rhythm, with sunrise and sunrise, and sunset and sunset. Occasionally, two people will talk about Chang'an, but more often they will talk about what they want to eat tomorrow.
After talking about the tenth year, in order not to reveal the secret of his old age, he interrupted the move back to Shule, east of the Pamir Mountains, but Niu Xiaoqing didn't want to move, and she said it would be okay to live for another two years. Mu Yue didn't know what she said
What does 'nothing' mean, because he didn't tell her his own secret.
Mu Yue was also lazy and did not move. So the sunrise and sunset continued, and the chat continued. He felt that the villagers here did not have the ability to threaten him, and it would not be too late to move again in two years.
After twelve years of chatting, my family has not moved away and I can't continue chatting anymore. It's not because I'm annoyed, but because Niu Xiaoqing is dead.
The border areas of the Tang Dynasty naturally cannot be compared with the wealthy Chang'an City. The lack of medical treatment and medicine is the most obvious point. Living here, no matter what disease you get, it basically depends on your own luck.
Niu Xiaoqing said that her stomach hurts. After two months of thinness, she became thinner and lost her weight and then died.
After one month of attack, Niu Xiaoqing knew that he was going to die because several of them had diarrhea in the village had already died of diarrhea, and the family of five who came to Xiao Bolu had lost their families.
Niu Xiaoqing said that she was very sorry to Mu Yue. She had been a couple for 16 years and was unable to leave a man and half a woman for the old Mu family. Mu Yue wanted to tell her that her surname was not Mu, but she didn't know what she should say, and what was her surname?
He didn't say anything, just held her in his arms and listened quietly.
After one and a half months of pulling, Niu Xiaoqing was exhausted and unable to get out of bed. So she knew that it was time and told everything.
Niu Xiaoqing said that her original surname was Wu and her name was Wu Huiqing, and she was the female spy department of Yinyun Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Longji ascended the throne and became emperor after the "Tanglong Coup". In order to prevent a repeat, he secretly established Yinyun Pavilion, which was loyal to him alone, which was the intelligence operation yamen affiliated to the emperor.
Yinyun Pavilion is specifically controlled by Gao Lishi, who is trusted by Li Longji, and the Tang Dynasty Sword Sect is also the intelligence leader of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Huiqing also has a younger brother named Wu Zhizhong. His sister is only two hours older than his younger brother. His younger brother Wu Zhizhong is also in Yinyun Pavilion. The two brothers were adopted by Gao Lishi when they were very young.
Everything comes from the unusualness of the sword saint Pei Min.
Pei Min suddenly rose, and the rise was very abrupt, and it was not normal for Wenxi Pei's family to regain vitality. Yinyun Pavilion, which monitored everything, investigated Pei Min for many years, but the spy department sent out, died more than 20 times.
Most of them died under Pei Min's sword.
Xiaoqing couldn't explain the specific situation clearly. It seemed that Pei Min was related to a certain demon sect. Wenxi Pei received military and financial support from there.
Wu Huiqing didn't know what Pei Min wanted to do. She only knew that Li Longji and Gao Lishi had murderous intentions against Pei Min. They could not tolerate any potential threat, especially from the aristocratic families.
However, there was no obvious rebellion and no sufficient evidence of rebellion. Killing Pei Min, the head of the Pei family, would cause a strong backlash from other aristocratic families, so he could only die unexpectedly, in a way that had nothing to do with the emperor and Yinyun Pavilion.
Mu Yue appeared in Chang'an City, allowing Gao Lishi to find a solution.
Gao Lishi felt that Mu Yue had a secret, but Yinyun Pavilion monitored Mu Yue for a year but was nothing unusual.
After hearing this, Mu Yue was glad that he had not returned to the Zhongnan cabin in his last year in Chang'an. But if he thought about it carefully, there was no secret in the cabin, and all the secrets were only on his face.
Gao Lishi's intuition was getting more and more suspicious, and he must find out what secrets were in Mu Yue.
So, a series of plans are out.
1: Li Longji summoned Pei Min, the governor of Peking, to Beijing to report his duties;
2: Calculate the time and time. The spy department of Yinyun Pavilion is responsible for pulling Pei Zhong to Zuiyun Tower to see Hu Xuanwu, because Mu Yue and Li Bai agreed to go the day before yesterday.
The female spy Wu Huiqing put on makeup and became a poor farmer girl selling dyes. She seized the opportunity to anger Pei Zhong and lured Mu Yue to feel sympathy. After the hero saved the beauty, the spy driver lurking among Pei Zhong's friends took the opportunity to fan the flames and let Mu Yue
Conflict with Pei Zhong.
3: Gao Lishi took action himself, stole the Longquan sword and dressed up as Mu Yue, killed Pei Zhong, and blamed Mu Yue;
4: Disclose the news of Mu Yue's escape from the south of the city to Pei Min who was rushing back, and ask him to intercept people;
5: Gao Lishi was ambushed and found the right time to kill Pei Min. Save Mu Yue, making the aristocratic family think that Mu Yue killed Pei Min for personal revenge;
Six: Instruct Mu Yue to escape from Chen Cangdao to Shuzhong. Wu Huiqing "meeted" him by chance on the way, and then went to Shuzhong together;
7: Wu Huiqing became Mu Yue's wife, lived with him, and investigated his secrets.
Wu Huiqing sacrificed herself to feed the "wolf". Gao Lishi will protect Wu Zhizhong's honor and wealth throughout his life, otherwise both the siblings will die.
Everything went well before, but Li Bai's uncertainty, which was against the sky, disrupted the ending. He drove Mu Yue and Wu Huiqing out of Yumen Pass, and then they ran to the west of the Pamir Mountains, causing Wu Huiqing and Yinyun Pavilion to completely cut off contact.
So, it really became a couple, a real couple.
Xiaoqing said that this was the happiest 16 years of her life. She said: Mulang, Xiaoqing can't bear to leave you, Mulang, Xiaoqing is ashamed of you, and I hope to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay my Mulang.
Wu Huiqing may have discovered Mu Yue's secret, because 16 years later, she is already a half-old woman, but Mu Yue is still Mu Yue from Chang'an City. Others may not notice it every day, but she has been trained.
Female spy department.
But she didn't point it out, just told Mu Yue not to go back to Chang'an, and Gao Lishi would kill him.
Xiaoqing told Mu Yue that she must wait until the people who knew him in Chang'an City died of old age before going back. At that time, she hoped that Mu Yue could bring her ashes back to Chang'an and find her descendants of her younger brother Wu Zhi to see them.
Is your life good? If you have a good life, remember to tell her, and it will be fine if it is not good.
Wu Huiqing took off the small silver medal that she had been wearing on her chest, which was in the shape of a hibiscus flower, and the word "green" was engraved on the stamens.
She said that her younger brother Wu Zhi had a silver medal with the same word "中".
The silver medal is the only relic left by the mother to their siblings.
Wu Huiqing is not Niu Xiaoqing, and of course her parents will not be village households outside Kaiyuanmen.
Wu Huiqing said that her father's name is Wu Sansi, her mother's name is Shangguan Wan'er, and she and her younger brother are illegitimate children.
After saying this, whether it is Niu Xiaoqing or Wu Huiqing, she will die.
