Liang Qi came in a hurry not long after, with the satisfaction of having eaten and drunk a full face on his face. When purchasing supplies, Liang Qi didn't forget to buy a dozen jars of spirits to reward himself and a group of drunkard brothers in the mountains. Just now, he secretly opened a jar and drank with more than a dozen brothers. Hearing Gao Muqing call him to speak, Liang Qicai suddenly remembered that he still had important things to do, so he hurried over.

Gao Muqing walked around the room slowly, reaching out for the silent soft brocade quilt, the exquisite cotton robe, touching the smooth copper mirror, breathing the fragrance of incense tablets, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a warm current in his heart. Everything is of the best texture, the finest. The person who delivered the things was also very thoughtful, and he also bought the things he used in his daily life, which shows his intentions.

Liang Qi arrived and arched his hand outside the door: "Lord Dazhai, I'm here." ”

Gao Muqing hurriedly put down the long sleeves of a brocade robe that he was looking at in his hand, coughed and turned around: "Come in and talk." ”

Liang Qi said yes and walked in. Gao Muqing was already sitting on a stool, pointed to another stool and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Liang Qiyi sat down and said to Gao Muqing with a smile: "Master of the village, there is no place for these things to be broken." I was cautious along the way, and when I moved to the mountain, I personally brought someone to move it up, so I was afraid that I would mess it up, and I couldn't explain it back. ”

Gao Muqing glared at him, sighed and said, "He...... Are you alright? ”

Liang Qi was stunned, then understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay." Lin Gongzi ......"

"Shhhh Gao Muqing waved his hand and shouted.

Liang Qi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Lin ...... This one...... That boy is very good. There was a big incident in his Lin family some time ago, and it was chaotic for a while. However, Childe came forward to calm down, and he was the chief steward for two months. Isn't it the autumn exam recently? This is the Wen book that is concentrated. Count the days, the big exam is over, and now I don't know if the list has been released, and I don't know if there is a high school. ”

Gao Muqing sighed and said softly: "Yes, he is going to take the autumn exam this year, but I almost forgot." He...... How are you doing? ”

"Well, it seems to be a lot stronger. Childe told me that he has been practicing martial arts. said that even if it is too late, at least it can strengthen the body and not be powerless. He said that in such a situation on the island, he would not have asked us to protect everything. Liang Qi said with a smile.

Gao Muqing smiled and nodded, and suddenly frowned: "You said that something big happened in his family, what is that?" How did he become a steward again? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard from Gongzi that the eldest son of his family's room suddenly drowned, and the Lin family became a mess. The head of the family has changed, and the second master of their family came back from the capital, and somehow became the head of the family. He also served as a steward for a few months. However, he was not interested in this, so he resigned not long ago. ”

Gao Muqing's eyebrows were raised, and he muttered for a long time, with a sudden look on his face. Gao Muqing naturally understood that the sudden drowning of Lin Ke, the eldest son of the Lin family, was not an accident. On the island that day, when Hai Dongqing's military advisor Xu Xing told the secret of Lin Ke's bandits, Gao Muqing was present. Later, there was an accident on Guishan Island, and Gao Muqing never had the opportunity to pay attention to the matter. Now it seems that Lin Jue must have solved this matter. Lin Ke died, and the head of the Lin family changed hands, and I don't know how he did it. Gao Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in his hands, everything seemed to be as light as a weight, and there would always be a way to deal with it. It would be nice if he was by his side at the moment. I'm really tired and clueless.

"Dazhai master, I went to see Gongzi privately and asked Gongzi for help, Dazhai Master won't blame me." Liang Qi saw that the lord of Dazhai looked uncertain, and asked with some worry.

"What do you say? You were asked to go to Hongze Lake to contact the old ministry and the people, but not to ask you to go to Hangzhou. You're disobedient, you know? Gao Muqing said in a deep voice.

"I understand, Dazhai will punish me, but I think it's worth it after this trip, don't you know, after talking to my son all night, my original frustration was swept away. Childe is really a master, he is like seeing it with his own eyes, and the analysis of our situation here is not bad at all. Hey, it's a pity that Gongzi has to take the imperial examination, and he wants to be an official for the emperor, otherwise he will come to the cottage, what are we afraid of? Liang Qi shook his head and said.

Gao Muqing glared at him and said, "Don't say this again, if we are not cornered, who wants to be a bandit?" ”

Liang Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my subordinates just said that." ”

Gao Muqing pondered for a long time, and said softly: "I naturally can't blame you, I admit that you went to see him this time, and he gave you silver to buy so many things up the mountain, which saved the lives of all of us." Otherwise, I don't know how I survived this winter. But...... In this way, he is a gangster. If this was known, he and his whole family would be beheaded. The reason I won't let you go to him is because I don't want to pull him into this whirlpool. I know that he will never ignore our situation after knowing our situation, and I know his temper very well. ”

Liang Qidao: "That's nature, the son values love and righteousness, how can he not care?" I also said this, but Childe laughed at me. Childe said, 'I and the owner of your big village are husband and wife, if you want to talk about bandits, you have already passed, and you have slept on a quilt, can this still be cleared?' Tell you the master of the village, don't think about it. If I don't help her, am I still a man? ’”

Gao Muqing's face turned crimson, and he glared at Liang Qi angrily, Liang Qi was shocked and speechless, how could he say such vulgar words as 'sleeping on a quilt', wouldn't this be a big offense.

Liang Qi raised his slap and slapped his mouth, and scolded: "Bastard, call you nonsense, call you nonsense." ”

Gao Muqing waved his hand and said, "That's it, no need to fight." It's also his nonsense first, another day...... Another day, I'll settle accounts with him first. ”

Liang Qi nodded silently, and said in his heart: Find him to settle accounts, will you scold him when you see him? I'm afraid it's too late to rejoice.

Gao Muqing thought for a while and asked, "He has told you so much, but what advice do you have?" Didn't he ask you to bring me anything? ”

Liang Qiyi slapped his forehead and shouted, "Look at my stupidity, I almost forgot about the big thing." In addition to asking me to bring so many things, Gongzi also wrote a letter asking me to hand it over to the master of Dazhai himself. Almost missed. ”

Liang Qi stretched out his hand and groped in his arms, and after a while, he took out a thick cowhide envelope and handed it to Gao Muqing with both hands. Gao Muqing took it in surprise and looked at the handwriting on the cover. It reads: Mu Qing personally opened. is upright and delicate, just like Lin Jue's appearance. For a moment, Gao Muqing's eyes were slightly red, and she almost burst into tears.

……

In the dead of night, a flickering candle flame illuminated Gao Muqing's beautiful face, which was slightly emaciated and tired. Gao Muqing, who was sitting in front of the dresser, was holding a piece of paper full of dense letters in his hand, and was quietly reading the contents of the letter.

"Mu Qing's wife, seeing words is like faces. It's been a few months since the last goodbye. Although it has only been a few months, I have a sense of three autumns, I miss you very much, I don't know if Mu Qing misses me? ”

Just reading these few words, Gao Muqing's tears flowed down.

"Of course I miss you too, every day, every night, not a day without you. You wrongdoer, you still come to ask such things. Gao Muqing whispered with tears in her eyes. After a while, Gao Muqing wiped away her tears and continued to read the letter.

"As soon as I said goodbye that day, you said that you took your cottage brothers to settle down in Funiu Mountain, I thought you had arranged it. Who would have thought that when Liang Qi came, when he told me in the mountains, he would know the hardships and dangers you have experienced. When I heard about it, I was very upset. In this case, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Now that you are in danger, I can't help you, and I feel even more self-reproachful, which is really hard to describe in words. After Liang Qiyu reported, I had the idea of rushing to the mountains immediately, but after thinking about it carefully, I still felt that it should not be like this. It's not that I don't have the same heart for suffering, but I think that for the sake of the future, what you need is not a helper who is not strong in force, and that will not help. What you need most now is material support to help you survive the harsh winter. I hope Muqing can understand my thoughts, don't think that you don't care about your husband, you are a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Gao Muqing sighed and said softly: "How can you be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, although you are a scholar, but I have seen your bravery on Peach Blossom Island that day." You're the most fearless person I've ever met. If you don't come, you naturally have a reason. ”

"Mu Qing, I approve of your decision after entering Funiu Mountain, but I am only in a hurry. Since Zuo Zongdao has a bad plan, you should plan and make a mistake, wait for the opportunity to control this person and seize the right to his cottage, which is the best strategy. You should not turn your face on it without gaining a firm foothold, as this will immediately put you in passivity. Of course, I understand your feelings, in order to protect the people of Guishan Island Cottage, it is impossible not to take them in, so you are unwilling to sacrifice those people, so you can only take this step, I think even if I am by your side, I can't stop you. What I want to tell you, things have come to this point, so you don't need to think too much, since you are already enemies with the bandits in Funiu Mountain, then you will be enemies, if you want to gain a foothold in the mountains, you always have to rely on strength. It's just that the timing is hasty, and it will be more dangerous. ”

Gao Muqing thought: Do you also know that I was forced to be helpless? How can I turn a blind eye to the starvation of my people.

"Mu Qing, the current situation is that your fight has bought time for yourself. Bao Meng must not be willing to consume a lot of strength, so he hopes that he will kill in the harsh winter, so that you will freeze to death and starve to death in the mountains. That's why I gave Liang Qiyin taels and asked him to immediately purchase food and things to keep out the cold and smuggle them into the mountains. This is a-for-tat strategy. But if he can survive the winter safely, Bao Meng's plan will fail. But this is only expediency, and next spring the bandits of the Funiu Mountains will come to an agreement to destroy you together, because for to them you are outsiders, and they will attack them in groups, and then the most critical moment will be. But don't worry, I'm not going to sit idly by and find a way to help you. At the same time, I want you to use this winter time to do a few great things, and I have already written suggestions in another letter, and you should take a closer look at them, and if you think they are useful, they will be implemented immediately. This matter is a matter of life and death, and it must not be neglected. ”
