Li Luo took a deep breath, suddenly closed the door, and put out the candle with a sweep of his palm.
Suddenly, it became dark in the woodshed, and Su Niang could be heard letting out a low moan, her breathing became rapid and trembling, and she gasped continuously.
It was late at night, and it seemed that the stars and moon all over the sky turned red with shame at the cries, and hid somewhere unknown.
The night was very quiet, but some ignorant insects that had just woken up from hibernation kept chirping, and I don't know who was disturbing someone's dream.
At Shen Shi, there was a soft creak from the door of the woodshed. Li Luo walked out, stood under the eaves and took a long breath. He looked up at the sky. It seemed to be brighter than before. He couldn't tell whether it was the fire or where it came from.
A bright color came, dark red, heavy on the side of the mountain.
Li Luo coughed lightly and said slowly: "The general is here." His eyes fell on the empty space in the backyard.
In the dark night, a figure stood quietly in the courtyard, silent for a long time.
Perhaps the shadow was blown away by the cold wind, making the tall figure sway a little hazy.
After a while, the figure in the courtyard said in a low voice: "You come with me." It was Mu Guise, the coach of Longxiang Camp.
Li Luo let open the door of the firewood shed, and Mu Guisai glanced at it. Su Niang was lying motionless on the hay on the ground, her clothes were disheveled, her feet were curled up slightly, and she was covered with Li Luo's coat, as if she was sleeping.
is in full swing.
Mu Guisai's hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and it seemed that he could hear the hilt squeaking under heavy pressure.
Mu Guise took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, turned around and went to the front room.
Li Luo smiled sadly, the cold wind blowing on his face, barely blowing away some sleepiness and fatigue. He moved his numb hands and followed Mu Gui to the front room.
In the room, Mo'er was sleeping soundly, with a hint of a dreamy smile hanging from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know what she was doing in her dream.
Mu Guise lovingly pulled the quilt for Mo'er, looked back at Li Luo who was standing at the door looking at each other quietly, and whispered: "Go out and talk."
Li Luo let the door open and Mu Guisai came over and gently closed the door, fearing to wake up Mo'er who was sleeping soundly.
Mu Guise lit an oil lamp. Under the light, Mu Guise's face was gloomy, as if it took all his strength to contain his anger.
"What did you and Su Niang do?" Mu Guise asked word for word, and the piercing murderous intent could be heard in his words.
"What did the general think Su Niang and I did?" Li Luo asked calmly.
Mu Guise suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Luo coldly, saying in a cold voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"If the general wanted to kill me, he would have done it just now. He would not have waited until now."
The surprise in Mu Guise's eyes flashed away, and was replaced by Senhan's coldness in an instant, and he asked slowly: "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm just a passerby."
"A passer-by?" Mu Guisei said with a sarcastic smile, "Don't you say you are a businessman anymore?"
Li Luo smiled faintly and said: "The general will never believe what I say. It doesn't matter whether it is true or false. What happened tonight, I..."
Mu Guise raised his hand to stop Li Luo from speaking, and said in a cold voice: "No need to say more, you can go before I change my mind."
Li Luo looked slightly stunned, smiled softly and said, "General, are you willing to let me live?"
Mu Guise stared at Li Luo coldly and said nothing.
Li Luo sighed sadly and said: "Since the general has never killed me, he should know that Su Niang is suffering from a hidden disease. If this disease is not cured, it will not help even if I leave."
Mu Guise took a deep breath and said slowly after a long time: "Of course I know about Su Niang, which is why I still haven't killed you."
"Although I am an ordinary person, I still want to be honest when I am in this world. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, good or evil, Su Niang's affairs are always inextricable. If the general wants me to leave, he should let me go clearly."
Mu Guisa looked at Li Luo. Although Li Luo was tired, his expression was clear. He was not like those cowardly people who are greedy for money and lust and hide away when trouble comes. If it hadn't been for what happened tonight, maybe Mu Guisa would have
There might also be some appreciation.
Mu Guise took out a breath and whispered: "Eight years ago, I first met her. She was carrying water by a stream, and the baby Mo'er was next to her.
I saw how pitiful she was, and wanted to help her, but she suddenly fell ill, and what happened next was probably the same as what happened to you tonight. I have seen it, so I know that no one in the world can be in that situation.
There will be no chaos in my heart, unless he is not a man."
Li Luo paused for a moment, touched the tip of his nose, and smiled faintly.
Seeing Li Luo's indifferent smile, Mu Guise felt even more angry, but he could still suppress it.
Mu Guise took off his weapon and put it aside. Li Luo glanced at it and remained silent.
"After that time, I thought she was a village woman from the mountains who could do nothing but set up a plan for me.
After that time, she lived in Xie Ma Dian for eight years. In these eight years, she never came to me once or begged me once. It was as if that day happened to another person.
Slowly I realized that this was not her true nature, maybe she had been infected by some deadly poison.
It's just that she has a very proud temperament. Even if I try to help, she never appreciates it.
I once found several doctors with excellent medical skills from other places, but I kicked her out without even entering. She is really a woman who wants to save face."
"I see."
"Why, do you think I am also the one who dares not take responsibility?"
"The general is serious."
"I have been open and honest in my life, and I am not afraid of others knowing about these things. If you tell others, that's up to you. But if you say something about Su Niang, don't blame me for being ruthless." Mu Guise shouted sternly.
"I thought that after the general said these words, he would not let me leave Xie Ma Inn." Li Luo said quietly.
"Haha, if I can't even afford a plain girl, how can I afford the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp?"
"General, do you want me to leave?"
"Yeah." Mu Guise didn't say much. He took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it on the table. He looked at Li Luo coldly, "One more thing, you take them with you."
"This is?"
"Yimachuan is in troubled times now. If there is a war, I may not be able to protect them. This money is the money I gave you. Su Niang won't want it. You can keep it for her and take her away from here to find a safe place."
It is my merciless request to let her and Mo'er settle down and live their lives in Dijie. I will send someone to inform the people who come with you."
Li Luo was startled, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He didn't expect to be in such a situation. How could he leave Xiemadian when the trade issue was not settled.
Seeing Li Luo's hesitation, Mu Guisai showed his anger and shouted: "Why, do you really just think this is an erotic dream? I don't want you to take care of her, I just want you to escort her for a while. If you don't want to
