Zongwu: Our Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 19

Long Peng had guessed just now, but he didn't expect Mu Wanqing to be so direct, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Why didn't you speak?"

Mu Wanqing's palms were covered with sweat, as if she was nervous, "Just answer, is it difficult?"

"Ugh……"

Long Peng sighed and asked, "Why do you want me to marry you?"

"I once swore that the first man who sees my face will either kill him or marry him."

"So hasty?"

Mu Wanqing was startled for a moment, mist rose in her eyes, "You...you don't want to?"

"Don't worry, Miss Mu."

Long Peng rarely had a headache, "Let me ask you, do you like me, or do you feel happy seeing me?"

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, didn't speak, just shook her head.

Long Peng nodded slightly, not surprised.

"As soon as the two of us met, it was a life-and-death scene. If you can still fall in love with Longmou like this, then you are either a ghost, or you are sick."

choke--

Seeing the short sword drawn by Mu Wanqing, Long Peng said, "Don't be in a hurry to draw the sword, listen to me."

"What are you talking about? Since you don't want to marry me, you can only..."

Before Mu Wanqing could finish her sentence, Long Peng made a sudden move, grabbed her short sword, and touched her acupoints.

Long Peng shook his head and put the dagger back into the scabbard, "Look, you don't like me, and even want to kill me, even if you marry me, you won't be happy."

"Life is long, isn't it painful to be with someone you don't love?"

Mu Wanqing bit her lower lip for blood, and said angrily, "Unlock the acupuncture points for me."

"Of course you can, but you don't need to do anything, let's talk calmly, otherwise you can only stand like this."

"Okay, I agree, you untie it quickly."

Poof, poof——

Long Peng readily agreed, and opened her acupuncture points with several fingers, "Let's continue."

"Miss Mu, to be honest, if a man like Yue Laosan saw your face, would you still marry him?"

"I thought, shouldn't it be?"

Mu Wanqing clenched the weapon in her hand, trembling, "Then... tell me, what should I do?"

"Oaths, whether you are willing to keep them or not, is entirely up to you. I can't decide for you, but..."

Long Peng raised his head and said calmly, "However, seeing your face, God knows it, you know it, I know it, no one else knows it, if I don't tell it, you don't tell it, who will know?"

"Of course, if you are determined to marry Long, then I can only say sorry."

Mu Wanqing was silent for a while, then tore off the black veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face.

"Am I ugly? Are you so unwilling to marry me?"

"The girl was joking."

Long Peng chuckled twice, "The girl's appearance is outstanding, although she is not as good as my elder sister, she is by no means comparable to her rouge and vulgar fans. It's just... Long will not marry a woman he doesn't like, please forgive me."

"By the way, if Miss Mu still wants to kill Longmou, then she has to hurry up. She won't stay in Dali for too long. The rivers and lakes are very big and dangerous. Maybe I will see you again someday, in front of Longmou's tombstone. gone."

Long Peng turned and left without stopping.

Mu Wanqing froze in place alone, and didn't look back for a long time.

"What he said makes sense. If I don't say it, and if he doesn't say it, others won't know, so Master won't know either."

"But why do I feel a little reconciled, and... who is the elder sister he is talking about, is she prettier than me? I don't believe it..."

……

When Long Peng returned to the ruined temple, Duan Yu and the two had already woken up.

Zhong Ling walked over with the doll in her arms, yawned and said, "It's too tiring to take care of the baby, you should take her away quickly, I can't do it."

Long Peng smiled, took the doll, took out a piece of cloth belt from the cuff, and tied her to his chest.

"Hey... Where's Miss Mu? Why didn't you see her?" Duan Yu asked curiously.

"It should be outside."

Long Peng pointed to the outside of the temple, and continued, "I'm going to Tianlong Temple, how about you?"

Duan Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly replied, "Tianlong Temple, let's take a ride, I and Lingmei are going back to the palace."

"Okay, let's go on the road, don't delay."

"Wait a minute, I'll call Sister Mu to go with me. Yesterday afternoon that Yun Zhonghe set his sights on Sister Mu. Fortunately, he ran into Brother Duan and me before escaping. If she is left alone, I'm afraid she will be in danger."

"Okay then, don't delay."

Long Peng said as he walked outside, lightly jumping on the horse, "Mr. Duan, get on the horse."

"Okay, I'm here."

Duan Yu hurriedly followed, sat down behind Long Peng, and then whispered, "That... that Lin Shaoxia, do you want me to ride with Lingmei?"

"You kid..."

Long Peng turned his head to look at Duan Yu, and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, look at you like this, do you want to take Zhong Ling back to see his parents?"

Duan Yu nodded embarrassedly.

"Zhong Wanchou has a grudge against your father, will he agree?"

Duan Yu was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hand helplessly, and finally said, "I want to marry Lingmei, not Zhongguzhu, I don't care that much."

"Ha ha……"

"Why is Lin Shaoxia laughing?"

"I'm not laughing at anything."

Long Peng shook his head and whipped his horse, "Drive! Let's go, buddy!"

Duan Yu was startled, and quickly grabbed Long Peng, "Lin Shaoxia, don't rush away, Lingmei and the others haven't caught up yet."

"Girl Mu's horse runs fast, and she will catch up with her in a while. Don't worry, don't worry."

"Is that so..."

really.

Not long after, Duan Yu saw a black horse chasing after him, it was Mu Wanqing.

"Brother Duan, why didn't you wait for us?"

Duan Yu just opened his mouth to explain, but saw that the speed of the black rose increased by [-]%, so that they could only watch and eat ashes.

"What does Miss Mu mean? She ran so fast, and I haven't said a word to Lingmei yet..." Duan Yu was speechless.

"Lin Shaoxia, is there a way to run faster?"

"Have."

Duan Yu was pleasantly surprised, and quickly said, "What method, Lin Shaoxia, tell me quickly."

"Cough cough..."

Long Peng coughed twice, "You go down now, I will be short of people, and I will come up soon."

"This... this method... is wonderful, but forget it, I can accept it if it is slower."

"You boy, you are not stupid."

Duan Yu also knew that Long Peng was teasing himself, so he pretended to be cool and said, "Lin Shaoxia is underestimated. He was given the title of 'child prodigy' when he was young."

"By the way, Lin Shaoxia is so outstanding now, you think he has been the pride of heaven since he was a child?"

"This...not at all."

Duan Yu was puzzled, so he asked, "No? Why not?"

"Don't ask."

Long Peng didn't want to continue this topic anymore, he swung his horsewhip high, and the speed suddenly increased by a few chips, and the folding fan in Duan Yu's hand was almost thrown off.

Duan Yu gradually got used to it, and said faintly, "Ahem... It doesn't have to be so fast, it's so sudden that Xiaosheng is not prepared at all."

"Master Duan, sometimes I really think you talk a lot."

"Well, Xiaosheng feels that he doesn't talk much, it's just that what he said doesn't suit Lin Shaoxia's wishes, so Lin Shaoxia feels long-winded, but not everything in this world..."

"If you say it again, I'll throw it off for you."

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, shut up immediately, and chose to be a modest gentleman who cherishes words like gold.
