I promise

Chapter 980

The journey from Shu County to Luoyang is thousands of miles away, it is not easy for Chang Suyi to go back to her mother's house, she must live enough before leaving.

Yuan Fei was not in power in the family, and she was busy even if she said she was busy, but she had to get away. Before leaving, she made proper arrangements for the affairs at hand, and brought a pair of children to stay with her wife at her mother's house, saying that she would stay as long as she liked.

Heshengtang suddenly became lively.

The Suyi couple carefully selected a large box of toys with Sichuan characteristics for their three nephews, which could not be bought in the Luoyang market.

Cheng Que and Ruo Chong, who had new friends and new toys, hadn't been arguing for half a month to go back to Wuyuan with Mu Dianke, which really made her relax a lot.

However, it is impossible for the mistress of Yibao to be completely idle.

On this day, Mu Dian was going to Guangji Hall to deal with some matters. It happened that Deng Gu's birthday was coming soon, and she was entrusted by Ju Yan to visit with a small gift.

In the distance, the trees in the courtyard are in sight, and the canopy is like clouds, covering the roof tiles.A plainly dressed woman came out, looking in the direction she was going, she should be going to the pharmacy to get medicine.

It was near noon in midsummer, and the sun was shining brightly. It was like a light barrier covering the people who splashed it, and the face and figure were not very clear.

But Mu Dian still recognized the man.

It was Mu Qingtong.

Mu Qingtong married to Guangling in the second year after she gave birth to Ju Yan. It is said that before that, Mu Cangping arranged for her to meet as many as seventeen or eighteen young talents.Mu Qingtong's heart is attached to her late husband Hang Yan, and she has never let go.

Finally, I met Nan Pengye's second son, Nan Jin.

They meet in March and get married in May, which has been widely spread as a happy story between two hearts.

But Mu Dian knew that this was Mu Qingtong's last resort to save his life.

Back then, she thought about it, and felt that it was very possible that Mu Qingtong was the "first lord" that Xu Younan said had never been seen before.After all, there are not many people who are so familiar with the personnel and affairs in Mu's house and Qingshan ancestral house and can use them as rafts at will.

Later, Mu Cangping's actions confirmed her guess.

Marrying away from Luoyang was Mu Cangping's last chance to survive for Mu Qingtong.He treats his niece much more tolerantly than his own daughter.

Chang Juyan's gift to Deng Gu is not expensive, it's what he wants.It is a small needle threading device made of bamboo and wood. I don't know where he got it. It is exquisitely designed and easy to use.

When Deng Gu was young, she was diligent and studious. She spent nights reading with lamps and lanterns at night, which caused her eyes to burn out, and it was very laborious to thread needles and threads.It's just what comes in handy.

"... Baba is living a life and has to go to school, otherwise he will have to wait until his birthday to deliver it in person." Mu Dian said jokingly, "I have to do a favor for you."

Deng Gu was so touched that she wiped her tears.

The old man valued his great-eldest grandson, so he specially invited her to take care of Mu Dianke during pregnancy, and then to help take care of the children's daily life.Counting it, the time she spent with Ju Yan was only two or three years, which made him think about it.

"Young master is nostalgic for the old days and values ​​friendship. The young lady is really lucky."

Mu Dianke smiled slightly, Ju Yan had benevolence and righteousness in his heart and would not abuse it. This was just like his father's, and she was very satisfied in her heart.

He said something else and took his leave.

Mu Qingtong was not mentioned at all.

The doctors in Changjiabao value medical ethics, even if she is the mistress, they can't ask the patient's privacy.

Besides, it's easy to guess.

Mu Qingtong's two marriages had nothing to do with it, and Deng Gu's specialty was women's pregnancy and children's illnesses. Mu Qingtong's visit to the doctor couldn't avoid the children's affairs.She doesn't care either.

Mu Cangping unexpectedly appeared in front of Guangji Hall.

People pass by on the street, and he stands by the side of the road holding an old sword with its scabbard peeled off. phantom.Such an eye-catching, yet so lonely existence!

Mu Dianke looked at Mu Cangping across the street, and felt sorry for him for a moment.

Poor and hateful.

"Let's go?" Mu Cangping said.

It is a question, but there is not much room for negotiation.

Mu Dian thought that even if she refused, she probably couldn't refuse, so he responded, turned around and walked forward on his own.

At some point, Mu Cangping took the lead.Go through the streets and alleys of the busy city, go all the way north, and go further, and you will be out of the city.

Mu Cangping finally stopped.

"I'm hurt," he said succinctly.

The place where the two stood side by side was a barren grassy beach. The fertile soil was uncultivated and there were waist-deep weeds growing.The south wind swayed wantonly, the grass waves heaved and moved towards the distance, and a large number of miscellaneous sounds—the sound of wind and grass leaves, the echo of the world and the wilderness, quickly drowned out every syllable Mu Cangping uttered.

"When did it happen?" Mu Dianke asked.

Mu Cangping turned his head to look at her, but he didn't see any surprise in her eyes.

He was silent, looking into the distance, the mountains were low and low, forming a line of gray color, like a distorted ink mark.

He was waiting for Mu Dianke to speak, and Mu Dianke continued, "Two and a half years ago, you sharpened my sword for the last time and told me not to look for you within three to five years. Was it after that?"

For a person like Mu Cangping who is so proud and conceited, if someone comes to her door but refuses to fight, or even pushes someone in front of her, no matter how grand the excuse is, it is not a decent thing after all.

It's not that she didn't imagine the possibility of Mu Cangping being injured, but she couldn't believe it. Now that it has been confirmed, many things make sense.

"... Your injury has something to do with Jin Yanchen? He challenged you in vain to test your injury, or to make your injury known to the public?"

Mu Cangping is the fixed star of the Central Plains martial arts.In the past few years, masters from surrounding countries have emerged one after another, and their intentions to provoke and attack are obvious, and they all taught him the sharpness of a sword to block the pass.

If the news of his injury spreads, it will be a great blow to the morale of the martial arts in the Southern Dynasty.

She couldn't say whether she also had this consideration when she challenged Bai Yiyi.

Mu Cangping narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed that expression of approval that Mu Dian hated.

"Before the battle with you, I received a secret order from Jiankang, asking me to go north to assassinate Tuobayan." He said quietly, "The north and the south are like fire and water, and future wars are inevitable, no matter who is in that seat. Kill Tuobayan is meaningless."

"So you went to the Northern Kingdom to assassinate Jin Yanchen?"

Killing a Jin Yanchen will not change the fate of the war between the two countries, but it will allow him to sleep more peacefully.

Mu Cangping didn't deny it, "This is Jin Yanchen's trap. I've never underestimated him, but I still underestimated his energy."

If Zhong Fu was expected, Jin Yanchen was able to mobilize the eight eminent monks in Tianlong Temple to guard the relics, which he never expected.

It was also unexpected for Mu Dian to realize the essence of the Mu Family Sword so early and to teach it all to Jin Yanchen.

Jin Yanchen didn't expect that it was probably under such circumstances that he was allowed to escape.

He clearly knew that the southern court was extremely rotten and Jin Yanchen's eyes and ears were everywhere, so this trip was probably not secret.If you dare to go, you don't intend to leave your life there.

"Tianlong Temple is the Beiguo Temple. There is such a big commotion, but there is no news about it?" Mu Dianke tilted his head and looked at Mu Cangping with confusion, as if he didn't believe it.

But the truth is, she believed it.

So she drew her sword out of its sheath, covered by the grass blades and the wind, so quickly that only a phantom could be seen, she stabbed fiercely at Mu Cangping's abdomen.
