Chapter 64
Although he knew that Qingshu was looking forward to his passing, Wuji didn't go to see him until he had dealt with the affairs of the court.
"Are you in a hurry?" Wuji asked him with a smile as he stood far away under the blossoming trees in the courtyard.
Qing Shu looked at him and nodded.
"Let's go then."
Qing Shu stood there without moving: "Where are you going?"
"Naturally, I will go to Uncle Seven. Today, he is leaving the capital to go back to Wudang. At least there will be a farewell banquet to send him off. Besides, Uncle Seven probably also wants to see how you are doing."
Wuji was silent for a while, and took two steps forward: "Brother, don't forget what you promised me. Since I can let him go, I can naturally keep him."
"En." Qing Shu agreed sullenly, why do you bother to remind me again and again, even if you don't say it, I won't forget it.
Qingshu stepped out, just about to go to Yiyue Tower with Wuji, but Wuji stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I was negligent. Brother, why don't you go to see Uncle Seven with your hair disheveled, let me tie your hair up for you."
These days, Wuji either tied his hair up or loosened it every day, Qing Shu was used to it.After listening to his reminder, I also felt disrespected.He turned back to the room, picked up the comb in front of the dressing table, wanted to comb his hair, but Wuji who followed him into the room slipped the comb out of his hand.
"Only this, I can't give it to you. Brother's hair, only I can touch, sit down and don't move around."
If there is anything that Qingshu can't understand, it is Wuji's stubbornness, which is especially obvious in such meaningless things.Sitting in front of the mirror, Wuji took a comb and combed Qing Shu's hair from top to bottom, then combed it strand by strand, tied it into a bun and tied it with the green dragon jade hairpin.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. He is dressed in a Confucian shirt and looks neat. Qing Shu is the same as he was in the past.It was a risky move for Wuji to let their uncle and nephew meet, but he still decided to take a gamble.
In the Yiyue Tower, the palace servants have prepared the first-class seafood banquet according to Wuji's order.Since the morning, Mo Shenggu has been looking forward to it in this building.
He rushed forward in two steps: "The grass people kowtowed to the emperor."
Wuji waved his hands to make the maids and eunuchs retreat, then helped Mo Shenggu up and said, "Uncle Qi, now this place is our own family, you don't need to be so polite."
Mo Shenggu waved his hand: "The rules still have to be followed, you are the emperor now, how can you still be as casual as before. Nephew Qingshu, you are here too, it is really not easy to see you."
Seeing Mo Shenggu's happy smile, Qing Shu's eyes turned red: "Uncle Qi, I—"
Wuji blocked his words, raised his hand and said: "Today, my senior brother and I came to see off Seventh Martial Uncle. The banquet is ready, let's take our seats now."
Mo Shenggu nodded and said: "Yes, yes, we just stood and talked, the three of us went to eat and chat."
Sitting at the table, Mo Shenggu looked at Song Qingshu whose appearance and temperament had changed slightly, and asked with concern: "Qingshu, have you been living in the palace?"
Qing Shu glanced at Wuji, and replied guiltily: "Yes."
Wuji didn't interrupt, drinking wine silently.
Mo Shenggu frowned: "The inner garden of the imperial palace, men are not allowed to come and go at will. No matter how good your brother's relationship is, Qing Shu should not live here for a long time. Uncle Wuji knows that Wuji wants you to stay and be with each other. Then you should choose a house outside the palace as soon as possible, so as not to cause gossip. Don’t worry about the money, Wudang still has the money to buy the land, and I’ll ask someone to bring it to you in a few days.”
Wuji poured a glass of wine for Mo Shenggu, looked at Qingshu whose ears had started to turn red, and said, "Uncle Master misunderstood, I forbid him to move out. There are many empty houses in this palace, and Senior Brother I only live in the Qihuang Palace, and I don't go out to walk around at ordinary times, so I can't make any gossip."
Mo Shenggu drank the wine, thought for a while and asked again: "Qing Shu, what have you been doing since you have been in the capital for so long? Why didn't you send a letter to your family?"
Qing Shu can't tell lies, but let him tell all the things, but let him how to say it.After hesitating for a long time, he didn't say a word, and he was so nervous that sweat dripped from his head.
Wuji poured another glass of wine to Mo Shenggu: "Well, brother, he is busy helping me with some things every day, maybe he is too busy, so he can't spare time. Uncle, don't be too polite. Drink some wine, this is the fruit wine offered by Fanwai, which is not usually available."
Qing Shu is now full of embarrassment, Wuji thinks of a way to pour wine to Mo Shenggu, so as to save him from asking questions again and again.Qing Shu was also afraid of this, he led Mo Shenggu to say: "Master, don't keep asking me, how is everyone on the mountain? I haven't been back for a long time, Tai Shifu is still in good health?"
"Master, he is in good health. He just misses you two juniors from time to time. We brothers and sisters often say when we are joking together, with his spirit like an old man, it is not a problem to live another hundred years."
Although Wuji didn't care about the affairs of everyone in Wudang, seeing Qing Shu's rarely talkative appearance, he was happy to chat with him, and it would be good to make him happy for a while.
The feast is full, and the cups and plates are messed up.The three of them were full of wine and food, and the remnant banquet was withdrawn.The palace servants offered fragrant tea, Mo Shenggu drank a couple of sips, then Shang Ding came in and said, "Your Majesty, the man and horses are all ready to go back to Wudang."
About to leave, Mo Shenggu patted Qing Shu on the shoulder: "Since everything is fine with you, then I will go back. Or you can go back with me, even if you want to stay for Wuji to help, wait until you get back It’s the same for staying home for a while and then coming back.”
As soon as Mo Qixia finished speaking, the cup in Wuji's hand was crushed by him, and he stood there blankly staring at Qingshu, waiting for his answer.
Qing Shu didn't expect Uncle Qi to say such a sentence, and was so frightened that he sobered up.Putong knelt in front of Mo Shenggu and said: "Master Uncle, I want to stay willingly. Don't come here again, and don't let other people come looking for me. Although I won't go back, I will ask someone to pick me up regularly. letter to go."
Mo Shenggu helped him up: "What is Qing Shuxing doing with such a big gift, the uncle is just asking you what you mean. A man has ambitions everywhere, and it is right that you want to make achievements in the court, and the uncle understands. If you don't go home Don't go back, you brothers support each other, and we elders can rest assured."
He walked in front of Wuji: "Your senior brother has had a temper since he was a child, if there is anything that touches Long Yan, please see it for the sake of brotherhood, and don't blame him very much."
"Yes, Wuji will keep it in mind."
The palace gate opened again, and Qing Shu watched Uncle Seven get into the carriage.Wuji wanted to hold his hand, thought for a while, but rubbed Qingshu's little finger slightly.Qing Shu cast his eyes on him, a layer of tear film fainted in his eyes.
"Brother, I have sent eight martial arts masters to escort Seventh Martial Uncle. He will return to Wudang safe and sound. The gate of the palace has been closed, let's go back."
"it is good."
There was no resentment or hatred, no begging or negation, Qing Shu just dropped the word 'good' calmly and left.
Wuji followed behind him, walking neither far nor near.Last night I was awakened by crying, who cried so hoarsely to penetrate the indifferent rejection?When he woke up, it was himself who wet his cheeks with tears.
I thought I didn't care whether Qing Shu had himself in his heart, so I tore up that little bit of expectation and discarded it.But hidden in the depths, what I look forward to is his long-lost smile, not a lonely back for me.Even if they hugged him in their arms and diverged from each other's hearts, in the end they still got nothing.
Wuji's raised hand stopped in the air, unable to grasp the empty trace.
At least this time I have kept you, defended you, whether it is stagnant water or living water, slowly conquer, now your heart is as safe as a mirror, this time I will wait.I don't force you, I don't force you, just wait until the day you are willing to make waves for me.
The two people in the palace walked slowly, but outside the palace, the group escorting Mo Shenggu walked in a hurry.
"Driver" the person in charge of driving the cart kept beating the horses pulling the cart.The horses selected in the palace, even if they were used to pull carts, were good horses that could travel thousands of miles a day. Even so, the drivers seemed to think that the carts were too busy.
Hearing the neighing of the horse, Mo Shenggu said pitifully: "Don't be so anxious, the journey is long, and the emperor won't blame you in the future."
The man who drove the car didn't answer his words, but continued to drive and yell.After running quickly for a while, Mo Shenggu reckoned that he probably left the gate of the capital.But the coachman did not speed up, but stopped for a while, it seems that another person was driving the carriage, although sitting in the carriage, he could not see the outside, but Mo Shenggu could feel the carriage going around in a big circle towards Huijing City .
"Didn't you go to Wudang, why did you turn around and go back to the capital?"
The two coachmen outside looked at each other, and one of them replied: "This is an order from the emperor, probably for your safety. The route is pre-determined, and Mo Qixia, please stay calm. If you ask a lot, those of us below don’t know.”
Sitting in the rickety carriage, Mo Shenggu felt a little uneasy.The nature of martial arts practitioners is clear, instead of riding in a carriage, he still likes to ride a horse directly.Being able to observe the situation around you anytime, anywhere makes you feel more at ease.
After walking for about half a day, Mo Shenggu sat in the carriage and remembered the changing route at first, but after turning back and forth, he couldn't remember clearly.But he was clear about one thing, he never left the capital.
"Woo!" The coachman finally stopped the carriage, and Mo Shenggu also wanted to get out of the carriage to stretch his legs and get some air.
He took his saber and jumped out of the carriage, put his feet on the ground and took two steps steadily, and walked around the carriage, only then did he see where he had come.In the high gate courtyard, there is a plaque from the emperor hanging on it, looking closely at the inscription on it, Mo Shenggu almost loses his breath.
