Chapter 120 The Coward

Golden Eagle Division.

The company is quiet and solemn, and everything is orderly.

The two had already been frequent visitors of the Golden Eagle Division, and with Lin Heng's reputation becoming very popular recently, the gatekeeper's ground eagle envoys just made a formality and put the two into the Golden Eagle Division.

The Golden Eagle Division seems to be extremely busy recently, and the two were arranged to wait in the outer hall.

A local eagle envoy came forward and served tea to the two of them.

The two sat in the hall, the room was quiet and silent, only the sound of orderly footsteps outside the door.

Cheng Muqing slowly picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea.

"Ah Qing." Lin Heng suppressed his voice, "That Xun Er... did you intentionally let him follow us?"

"After all, it is his child who suffers." Cheng Muqing said, "He has the right to see the murderer."

Lin Heng silently nodded.

"This tea is rather bland." Cheng Muqing put down the tea bowl and looked out the door.

Outside the door, a group of Golden Eagle Guards walked back and forth, looking very busy.

"Has anything happened in the capital recently?" Cheng Muqing looked at the local eagle envoy who was serving tea and water.

The ground eagle just smiled, "I don't know, our ground eagle is only responsible for internal affairs."

"Oh." Cheng Muqing smiled, she still knew that this sentence was doubtful.But she is an outsider, so it is not easy to ask more questions.

The two sat for a long time before waiting for Su Yayi.

Knowing that he was busy, Cheng Muqing cut straight to the point and handed the portrait of the feminine man to Su Yayi, asking him to help find him.

"It's best to help me go to the palace to see, maybe he is hiding in some eunuch pile." Cheng Muqing said with a smile, looking like a joke.

Su Ya also looked at it carefully before putting away the scroll and handing it over to her subordinates.

"You guys are too busy recently." Cheng Muqing stood up, "I helped the prince with work a while ago, but now I'm still helping him?"

"En." Su Ya also nodded expressionlessly.

Cheng Muqing didn't continue to ask, but said goodbye to him, and left with Lin Heng.

Tall trees stand in the courtyard, the canopy is green and lush.

"What happened to Bashu this year? Bad things happen one after another. If the dam is not repaired, won't the people suffer?"

"The people there are suffering, but you are not the one suffering. Why are you nervous?"

"Doesn't that feel sorry for those people?"

"..."

Cheng Muqing has good ears, and when he passed those Golden Eagle Guards, he happened to hear these two lines of conversation.

She walked on like she didn't hear her.

The carriage rolled and rolled all the way to Luji Trading Company.

Seeing Cheng Muqing get off the car here, Lin Heng felt a little puzzled, but he had already followed her pace, "Ah Qing, what are you doing here?"

"There's something I want to know about." Cheng Muqing walked towards the store while talking.

The two stepped into the business together.

Cheng Muqing directly showed the token given by Lu Xiu.

The token was really useful, so the shopkeeper respectfully led the two of them to the small box on the second floor.

The small box is not big, with brown veils hanging down, and nice-smelling incense burning.The space obviously does not look big, but it is more than enough for two people.

"Ma'am, what news do you want to buy?" the shopkeeper asked her.

"I want to know what's going on in Bashu now." Cheng Muqing sat down.

"In the past few days, I have listened to the discussion among the officials in the capital. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who went to the disaster relief was greedy for ink, which caused the dam built by Bashu to loosen recently. When it comes, if floods are added, the Bashu area will be doomed."

The shopkeeper said it in an easy-to-understand manner, "So recently, the court has been talking about this matter again and again. Oh, yes, I heard that this time I am going to prepare for the spring hunting, and it is also for the purpose of offering sacrifices and praying for God's blessing."

"Then, has the court explained everything about this matter?" Cheng Muqing was more concerned about this issue.

"I haven't heard it yet." The shopkeeper shook his head, "Oh, it seems that the flood season is coming... I don't know how the people in the Bashu area live."

Cheng Muqing pursed her lips, with a little sympathy in her eyes.

"Oh..." The shopkeeper sighed again.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Cheng Muqing thanked, turned and left with Lin Heng.

When the two walked out of the firm, Cheng Muqing looked a little absent-minded.

She boarded the carriage silently, looking as if hurrying back home.

"Ah Ching."

Lin Heng stood under the carriage, raised his hand and grabbed her sleeve.

"Huh?" Cheng Muqing turned to look at him.

"Shall we... go shopping?"

"Oh...Okay." Cheng Muqing did not refuse.

"Cough..." Lin Heng glanced lightly at Jinxi and Mingchen, and the two of them stepped back tactfully, leaving space for them.

There are people coming and going on the street, which is very lively.

"Ah Qing, do you care about the Bashu area?" Lin Heng asked.

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded, "The earth dragon turned over, and the whole Bashu trembled. The people there are very pitiful. If the dam is not repaired well, and the flood season comes, how will they survive?"

She couldn't bear it, as if she was one of those poor people.

Lin Heng's eyes were a little confused, "Why can't you live?"

He stayed in the Qiguo Palace since he was a child, and he was still at a loss about all kinds of disasters in the world.

"If the dam is not good, it will not be able to hold back the tide. When the flood season comes, it will easily cause floods." Cheng Muqing said, "Natural disasters cannot be resisted. The floods will flood the fields of the people and hurt the lives of the people."

Can't that leave?Lin Heng thought so, but didn't say it.

"Don't think about it." Lin Heng still didn't quite understand. In order to make himself less obtrusive, he changed the subject, "It will be fine, Da Jin will be blessed."

"Heh~" Cheng Muqing looked at him, and pulled his lips helplessly.

The two walked on the street and came to a stall where they bought candy.

"Ah Qing." Lin Heng pointed at the sugar figure in the shape of a rabbit, "Do you like it?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Muqing licked his lips, "I like to eat."

"..."

Why is it different from the picture book?
I like it, shouldn't it be because the rabbit is cute?

Lin Heng's fingers were slightly stiff, but he quickly realized that he turned to look at the boss, "Can you pinch me...and my wife?"

"Haha~ Of course!" The boss of the sugar buyer nodded with a smile, "Are you two newlyweds? Are you still shy? Sigh~ It's good to get along more, don't be shy... especially you, man Be more active." As he spoke, he winked at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng was calm on the face, but there was a little panic in his heart.

He hasn't broken the window paper with Cheng Muqing yet.It's not that he doesn't want to make a fuss, but that he hasn't been sure what she thinks of him.

I always feel that she treats me well because of the bond of fate.

Lin Heng was still struggling on this side, but Cheng Muqing stared at Lin Heng's profile with sparkling eyes.

Why is he so focused on sugar man?Cheng Muqing complained silently in his heart, and coughed twice again, hoping to attract Lin Heng's attention.

But Lin Heng bit his lips tightly, and his expression became more complicated.

He won't see what he thinks of him, will he?Cheng Muqing couldn't help straightening his back, and thought of the drawing book he gave him a few days ago.

He doesn't feel that he is greedy for his body, does he?
Cheng Muqing's brain turned quickly.

The boss there also noticed that there was some problem with the air pressure between the two of them. In order to avoid getting into trouble, he lowered his head and began to pinch the sugar man seriously.

He has been in this business for many years, and soon made two sugar figurines.

"Son."

The boss handed the two sugar figurines to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng took it, and handed the male sugar figurine to Cheng Muqing.

The whole body of the sugar man is caramel-colored, although it is not like the two, it is somewhat similar.

Cheng Muqing held the wooden stick with both hands, smiled, "It looks like you."

"En." Lin Heng tilted his wrist, and the sugar figurine in his hand also touched the sugar figurine in her hand.

I don't know if it was Cheng Muqing's illusion, but she felt that the two sugar figures seemed to be hugging each other.

Like a ghost, Cheng Muqing raised his finger, deepening the hug between the two sugar figures.

Lin Heng looked up at her without blinking.

"Boss! Come on a rabbit!"

Someone came and pushed Cheng Muqing aside, muttering, "I want to make love, go home and make love, don't get in the way..."

Cheng Muqing threw himself into Lin Heng's arms, and even touched Lin Heng with the sugar figurine in his hand.

"Are you okay?" Lin Heng supported her with one hand and led her to the side of the road.

"It's okay!" Cheng Muqing smiled, and shook the sugar figure in his hand, "It's a pity for this sugar figure."

The Sugar Man was in pieces, missing eyes and noses.

"Eat mine." Lin Heng put the sugar figure in her hand to her mouth.

Cheng Muqing licked his lips, "Then I'm being rude?"

"Yeah." Lin Heng's lips curved slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

The gentle sunlight passed through the treetops and hit his face, making his smile extra gentle.

Cheng Muqing took a bite and chewed carefully.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Heng's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"It's not bad, but it's too sweet." Cheng Muqing waved his hand, "Throw it away." She said throw it away, but her eyes seemed to be glued to the sugar figurine, and she couldn't move for a long time.

"No..." Lin Heng paused, "It cost money."

As he spoke, he bit down on the sugar figurine, "Fortunately...it's not very sweet..."

Is what he just bit off the place where he just bit off?

Cheng Muqing blinked.

"What's wrong?" Lin Heng felt a little uncomfortable when he found Cheng Muqing staring at him, and felt an illusion of being caught.

"It's okay~" Cheng Muqing grabbed his sleeve, "Let's go~ the stinky tofu in the east of the city is also a must! Try it?"

"Stinky tofu?" Lin Heng staggered and followed her step by step.

Stinky tofu, as the name suggests, is stinky tofu...

Lin Heng followed Cheng Muqing to the east of the city, his footsteps changed from easy at the beginning to heavy now.He looked solemnly at the stall not far away...

A strong, disgusting smell rushed straight to his heavenly spirit cap.

"That's the smell~" Cheng Muqing took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication.

Lin Heng swallowed subconsciously, and almost passed out.

"Ah Qing... your taste is really as good as ever." Lin Heng smiled wryly.

In the past, he thought that fat intestines were the bottom line.Didn't expect such a thing to exist...

"Heng."

"Yeah." Lin Heng looked down at her.

"Would you like to eat with me?"

"Yes." Lin Heng nodded, "I am willing to eat whatever you want me to eat with you."

"Do insects dare to eat?"

"..."

Lin Heng choked.

insect?Can bugs still eat?how to eat?cook?Steam?still is……

He didn't dare to think about it.

"Yes." The big deal is to close your eyes and eat.Lin Heng returned her.

"Lin Heng." Cheng Muqing leaned forward.

"Huh?" Lin Heng leaned back and blinked his eyes twice.

"Why do you want to?"

"Cough..." Lin Heng looked unnatural, "Because I... also like to eat."

"..."

Cheng Muqing snorted and stamped his foot, "Coward! Are you!"

"Princess Qi~"

Cheng Muqing wanted to say something, but heard a careless voice.She was turning around, holding her posture, and looking at the person coming.

"Oh~ Your Majesty disturbed His Royal Highness Qi Wang and Qi Wangfei." Feng Yao looked stunned, "But I didn't expect that after many years, Qi Wangfei still likes to have a tryst here."

"My lord is joking, my husband and I are here, how can it be called a tryst?" Cheng Muqing asked with a sneer.

"That's right." Feng Yao cast a glance at Lin Heng, "Of course it doesn't count with your husband, I just remembered that you were with other men in the past."

"Feng Yao, what is the purpose of you slandering me?" Cheng Muqing frowned slightly, "You and I should have no enmity, right?"

"Of course you don't have any relationship with me." Feng Yao shrugged, "I'm just fighting for Xu Jin, how can you kill the Liang family? Xu Jin originally planned to get married in two years. How can you kill his fiancée? "

"I gave Liang Xianrong a chance, but she didn't cherish it." Cheng Muqing said, "My lord, I don't mind if you are dissatisfied with me, but I hope you can investigate clearly before you trouble me..."

Feng Yao looked contemptuous.

"Don't be like a mad dog, biting people." Cheng Muqing left this sentence, then turned and left.

Lin Heng followed Cheng Muqing without saying a word.

Cheng Muqing and Xu Jin, what on earth happened...?
While dazed, he heard Cheng Muqing calling him.

"Heng."

"Ah."

"I said, I have nothing to do with Xu Jin, will you believe me?" Cheng Muqing walked forward, his voice a little tense.

"meeting."

Lin Heng's tone was firm.

……

Feng Yao, who watched Cheng Muqing leave, looked resentful.

"Ayao."

Xu Jin didn't know when he appeared behind Feng Yao, "Did you just talk to Princess Qi?"

"Yes! I'm sorry for you!" Feng Yao said, "Your wife was killed by her!"

"It's not her fault." Xu Jin's voice was calm, "Miss Liang deserves to be blamed."

"Hey hey hey! How can you talk to her?" Feng Yao was puzzled, "Did you forget that she pestered you back then and caused you to be gossiped by others? Also, because she asked you to go to that bridge back then, you were Yan Yinian, have you forgotten this too?"

"She didn't bother me much." Xu Jin said slowly, "Don't talk about it... Back then, I was young and energetic, and I did something to hurt her. She didn't owe me anything at all."

"you……"

"Ayao." Xu Jin frowned and shook his head slightly.

"Okay, okay, you are a good old man, I am the only one who is bad, right?" Feng Yao muttered.

……

Because of Feng Yao's words, Cheng Muqing who returned to Qi Palace was a little absent-minded.

She was not affected by his words, but felt a little embarrassed to be heard by her sweetheart.

As Chunshou was approaching, Cheng Muqing knew that Chunshou was going to stay on the hunting ground for a few days, so he went straight to the warehouse and packed up his things with his servants.

As she packed her things, she recalled the past.

When I confirmed that I didn't even say a word of admiration, I was relieved.

It may also be because of the bad relationship experience last time, that now, when she is not sure about Lin Heng's thoughts, she dare not express her feelings at all.

"It's really... the bigger you are, the less courageous you are."

Cheng Muqing curled his lips as if mocking himself.

In the past, she would definitely stick to Lin Heng in the name of "husband and wife", right?

"Princess, everything has been packed."

I don't know how long it has been, but Jinxi came up to report.

Cheng Muqing nodded, and asked her to inform Lin Heng of the spring hunting schedule in a few days.

The relationship between the two is not so rigid, but there is still some distance.
