The two of them drank wine until the sun went down.
The general's appearance in Yuxiang Garden spread wildly to every corner of the capital. Moreover, more and more people knew that the general had become a beggar.
All the dignitaries in the capital have put away their tempers and turned into living Bodhisattvas, giving porridge and clothes to the refugees and beggars who come and go. If the general receives a gift from any family, it means that he has invisibly formed a good relationship with the general.
Fate, the money and materials paid are all worth it.
The next day, Uncle Ning from the small wine shop also heard about the Yuxiang Garden incident. He thought of the beggar Xu Changge brought back yesterday and walked to the backyard.
Xu Changge was chopping firewood in the backyard. When he saw Uncle Ning coming, he put down his work.
"Xiao Xu, I want to ask you something." Uncle Ning looked a little scared and hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Xu Changge.
"Who is the beggar you brought back yesterday?"
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Uncle Ning doesn't want to be regarded as a confused person.
"Just a friend, a beggar."
Xu Changge understood Uncle Ning's intention, which was to find out information.
"Really?"
Uncle Ning asked.
"Of course, do you still think that the beggar is the legendary general?" Xu Changge said with a smile: "How can a down-and-out person like me know the general? Uncle Ning, please stop thinking nonsense."
"That's right." Uncle Ning thought about it for a moment. Two months ago, Xu Changge was in such a state of desolation that he didn't look like a person. It was impossible for him to know a famous general.
"Then go to work!"
Uncle Ning felt slightly relieved, but also a little disappointed. He felt relieved because Xu Changge had no background or background. He usually let Xu Changge do this and that for fear of offending him. He was disappointed. Without a general, how could the world be stable?
Xu Changge continued to work.
In more than two months, Xu Changge's injuries have improved a lot. With the protection of Linglong Tower, although Xu Changge has no cultivation level now, he will definitely have no problem dealing with thirty or fifty ordinary people.
Xu Changge took a few casual glances and realized that he was being stared at.
I guessed that they were people sent from the palace to find out the relationship between Xu Changge and General Mu Qing. That day, Mu Qing and Xu Changge were drinking and were seen by many dignitaries.
The visitor had no ill intentions, Xu Changge pretended to be nonchalant.
In the dead of night, Xu Changge left the small wine shop without being discovered.
Beijing, Yuxiang Garden.
Xu Changge turned into a black shadow and easily rolled into Yuxiang Garden. With Xu Changge's ability, he immediately discovered Mu Qing's traces.
In the backyard of Yuxiang Garden, there is an old locust tree.
There is a tombstone under the tree, and a pipa instrument is placed in front of the tomb.
Mu Qing leaned under the tree and kept looking at the tombstone, forgetting time and himself.
Xu Changge stood in the darkness, looking at Mu Qing who looked lonely.
Mu Qing didn't notice Xu Changge and thought he was the only one in Yuxiang Garden.
"I...what should I do?"
Mu Qing asked the tombstone of Miss Pipa. The road ahead was confused and she was struggling in her heart.
"That year, I separated from you and rushed to the border, protecting thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but I could not protect you. This time, the national crisis was at the forefront, and countless people were displaced and allowed to be humiliated by the enemy. I...I
Is there something that should be done?”
On the surface, Mu Qing didn't care about Feng Laiguo, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
It's not that Mu Qing is heartless, but that he is scared.
If Mu Qing wears armor again this time, and after the war is settled, he returns but cannot see the grave of Pipa Girl, his heart will definitely collapse. Even if the risk is only one in a billion, Mu Qing will not want to try it.
Because Mu Qing has already made the wrong choice once and doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
"If the court of Feng Lai Kingdom had been clean and free of corruption, I would have been the number one scholar in the world, and I would not have gone to the frontier, and nothing would have happened."
As he spoke, Mu Qing suddenly let out a laugh: "However, if I hadn't failed the exam, I wouldn't have met you. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. For me, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are among the princes.
I am not as good as a strand of your hair. If I could choose again, I would give up my ambition and find a place with you near mountains and rivers to spend my life peacefully."
Mu Qing walked to the tomb, reached out to touch the pipa, and stroked the cold tombstone.
Tick-tock——
Unknowingly, a drop of clear tears fell from Mu Qing's eyes.
Who would have thought that a general who once intimidated millions of enemy troops would have such a tender side?
This old locust tree carries the best memories of Mu Qing and Pipa girl. At that time, Mu Qing was hiding at the back door of Yuxiang Garden reading a book, while Pipa girl was strumming the strings under the old locust tree.
Sometimes when Pipa girl has a chance to go out, the two of them will go to a place with beautiful mountain scenery to drink tea and chat. That period of time is Mu Qing's hope to survive, and it is also the last pure land in his heart.
Snap!
Suddenly, there was a sound of slight footsteps.
Mu Qing immediately tensed up and turned to look in the direction of the dark corner. His eyes were as sharp as knives and his voice was cold: "Who!"
Mu Qing seemed to have changed into a different person, with murderous intent appearing in his eyes, and the invisible pressure made the old locust tree tremble.
"Don't get excited, it's me." Xu Changge walked over with a calm look.
"It's you." After seeing Xu Changge's face clearly, Mu Qing relaxed his vigilance: "When did you come? How did you get in?"
Mu Qing's perception is very strong. If someone enters Yuxiang Garden, he will find it immediately. However, Xu Changge suddenly walked out of the darkness, which really shocked Mu Qing.
"I've been here for a while." Xu Changsinger said with two bottles of wine in his hand, "I plan to come over and have a drink with you."
"You are indeed not an ordinary person." When Mu Qing saw Xu Changge for the first time, she felt that Xu Changge had a detached temperament and did not look like a homeless beggar.
"I've already said it, if it had been in the past, I could suppress people like you with just one breath."
Xu Changge chuckled lightly.
"Tch! Bragging." Mu Qing still didn't believe it and curled the corner of his mouth slightly.
Xu Changge walked to Mu Qing's side and handed him a bottle of wine.
"Did you hear what I just said?"
Mu Qing took a sip of wine and turned to look at Xu Changge with a somewhat threatening look in his eyes.
"I heard it, clearly."
Xu Changge ignored Mu Qing's threatening gaze and said honestly.
"You're such a boring person, you don't even give me any face."
Hearing this, Mu Qing gave Xu Changge a roll of his eyes, feeling very unhappy.
Xu Changge sat on the ground and looked up at the stars: "After a while, the mountains and rivers will change color, but we won't be able to see such beautiful scenery."
Mu Qing heard the implication of Xu Changge's words, her heart sank, and her eyes were complicated: "Now I just want to stay here and not care about worldly affairs."
