idle mistress

She immediately realized that something was wrong, so she quickly groped in the dark, and just as her hand touched the wooden stick on the edge of the window sill, the door was kicked open roughly.

Shen Qing was startled, turned her head to look around, and saw a tall man standing at the door, holding a torch in his hand, the light of the torch was shaking under the cold wind.

Under the firelight, the man's strange face was gloomy, Shen Qing's throat tightened, this man appeared outside the door openly, does it mean that all the guards outside have been killed?
Was this person a robbery or...

Just as she was thinking about how to fight against him, the man stepped across the threshold, and she stepped back quickly, protecting the front with the wooden stick in her hand.

But the man yelled at her: "Shen Qing..."

That voice was very familiar, and Shen Qing couldn't help being taken aback: "You... Mu Xiu?"

Mu Xiu nodded: "Who else can it be if it's not me." He held a torch and approached her, Shen Qing thought of the guards outside the door, and quickly asked: "What did you do to the people outside? They all... killed ?”

Seeing her nervous face, Mu Xiu quickly shook his head: "No, I just drugged them."

Hearing this, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Xiu in front of her had shaved the iconic beard on his face, and he made her feel a little strange without the beard.

But that clean face has a bit of the shadow of He Yihang in the past, that is, there is a bit of hostility in the eyes.

Shen Qing sized him up and asked, "It's rare for you to escape from death, why did you follow here? Are you not afraid of being caught by Zhao Yan again?"

Mu Xiu stared fixedly at her face: "I knew that you were the one who rescued me from death row."

"I saved you because I want you to escape, not to throw yourself into a trap."

Mu Xiu looked at her with deep affection in his eyes: "Shen Qing, I won't run for my life alone. In this world, without you, what's the point of living alone."

He grabbed her arm with one hand, and said earnestly, "Come with me..."

Seeing that Shen Qing was silent, his tone seemed a little anxious:
"Don't you want to travel around the world? The two of us will go hand in hand, incognito, roaming around, practicing medicine and helping the poor, okay?"

Shen Qing was slightly taken aback, indeed, traveling around the world was once her dream.

That was one of the situations where there was nothing to worry about, but now...she...

Mu Xiu saw the hesitation in her eyes, and begged: "Come with me, Shen Qing..." His five fingers gradually tightened, Shen Qing felt the pressure from the other party, she gently pushed his hand away, rushed He shook his head:
"I do not go……"

"why?"

Under Mu Xiu's persecution, the woman opened her mouth and said leisurely, "I'm in love with him, Mu Xiu, and I won't leave."

The man with the sword outside the door had already planned to kill, but upon hearing this, his tense muscles relaxed.

Hearing this, Mu Xiu's face was full of disbelief. He worked hard for many years, but what he got was a light sentence that she fell in love with another man: "You, who do you say you fell in love with?"

Shen Qing didn't speak.

Mu Xiu said again: "It's Ling Wang Zhao Yan? Do you know what kind of person he is? He is a cruel tyrant, he kills people without blinking an eye, he..."

Shen Qing interrupted him: "That was on the battlefield, Mu Xiu. And what kind of person he is, I should know better than you."

"But, he also put you in prison, which made you almost lost..."

Mu Xiu was still trying to brainwash her, but before he finished speaking, a long sword flew behind him, the blade narrowly brushed against his temples, the blade made a bang, and finally plunged into a wooden cabinet against the wall .

The sharp sword energy left a bloody blade on Mu Xiu's face.

Sensing the killing intent, Mu Xiu reacted quickly, he dropped the torch in his hand, jumped, and fled through the window.

A man in a yellow armor entered the house and hurriedly chased after him. At the critical moment, Shen Qing stretched out his arms and hugged him from behind: "Let him live, please, my lord..."

Zhao Yan stopped in his tracks and looked back at her, the murderous look in his eyes gradually subsided.

He patted her hand.

The armor on the man's body hurt her a lot, and it was uncomfortable to hold him, Shen Qing slowly let go of her hand.

The man bent down and picked up the dying torch on the ground, and lit the candles in the house.

Under the light of the fire, Shen Qing saw the bloodstained armor on the man's body. She was slightly startled: Did this man come directly from the battlefield?

She stepped forward, stretched out her hand to take off the armor on his body, and the man stood motionless on the spot, allowing her to manipulate him, his eyes never left her face, they were deep and dark.

Until all the armor on his body was removed, he stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms.

The smell on the man's body was not pleasant, but Shen Qing didn't resist, and let him hold her until a man's voice came from above his head, and he told her: "Yicheng has been captured."

She said "um".

Seeing her indifferent reaction, the man couldn't help asking: "Aren't you congratulating me?"

She shook her head in his arms, and said softly: "War is inherently cruel. If you win, someone will lose. If you survive, someone will die. Why not?"

Hearing this, the man fell silent, and tightened his arms around her; after a while, he said again:

"You just said, who are you in love with?"

The conversation turned a little too fast, Shen Qing was stunned for a moment... If I had known that he was standing outside, I would never have said such a thing.

She, Shen Qing, really felt a little numb if she wanted to say something about whether she loved it or not in front of him. She moved her body and said with a look of disgust:

"How long has it been since you took a shower? Your body smells too bad. Let me fetch water to wash you!"

Seeing her change the subject, the man couldn't help laughing:
"I won't wash anymore. My king hasn't closed his eyes for several days. I'm too tired. I need to rest for a while." While speaking, he blew out the candles on the table, bent down and picked her up across the bed and walked to the bed, hugging her. She lay down on the couch together.

Then, there was no more movement.

Shen Qing reached out and pushed the man's chest: "My lord..."

There was no response, and the next moment, the man's gentle breathing sounded in his ears.A wry smile appeared on Shen Qing's face, the man was so tired that he fell asleep in seconds.

He was not afraid that Mu Xiu would not give up, so he would give him a carbine.

The movement of being hugged by a man was really not comfortable, Shen Qing twisted her body, trying to break free while he was asleep.

But just as she moved, the arms around her waist tightened, and the man she thought was already asleep spoke:

"Don't move, just sleep like this, okay?"

A person who has always been strong, when he said this, there was a hint of begging in his tone.Like a child, once Shen Qing's heart softened, she didn't dare to move anymore.

Mu Xiu, who thought she had fled, came to the door, and thought that the man who was fighting far away in Yicheng was by her side, so how could she sleep?
