Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 706 Drowning
Hearing this, Mo Shuyuan, who had put his hands on the window sill, couldn't help but become stiff for a moment.

He turned his head in response, and saw Mo Shuyun standing by the door holding a plain gauze candle lamp, and there seemed to be some unconcealable surprise on his face.

Seeing this, Mo Shuyuan couldn't help feeling a little pain in his head. He collected himself, then took a long breath, pulled off his kerchief, and turned around with a smile all over his face.

"Third brother has good eyesight," the dark-colored young man pretended to laugh, then half-covered his brows, stepped forward two steps, the smile hanging on his face remained unchanged, "Little brother, I have been dressed up like this, and I was still caught by you." Recognized at a glance."

"By the way, third brother, it's almost three o'clock at night, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"Isn't it because I've been suffocated by my father's foot restraint order for a long time these two days, and I'm so upset that I can't sleep." Mo Shuyun smiled, and took advantage of the opportunity to put the lamp stand in his hand on the small wooden table by the door, "I thought Come to the study room to take a breath, and find two Chinese scripts to relieve boredom."

"As for why I can recognize you at a glance... Haha, fifth brother, you and I are brothers who grew up together since we were young, so we are naturally very familiar with your height and figure."

"Don't say that tonight you just changed into this black body, even if tomorrow you change your appearance and pretend to be that street vendor, my brother will recognize you immediately."

"Speaking of which, fifth brother, haven't the father's foot ban still been confiscated? Why did you come to my place?" The young man lowered his eyes and closed the wooden door of the study with his hands.

In fact, he lied to Mo Shuyuan, he didn't rush up to get some air.

He had been feeling irritable and flustered for no reason since nightfall, so he never went back to the house to go to bed, instead he ran to a remote place in the mansion, found a piece of grass with thicker withered grass under a tree, and lay on the ground for half an hour in a daze.

As soon as he was lying down, he caught sight of his fifth younger brother who climbed over the wall and walked straight towards his study.

The person who turned into the mansion was probably too eager in his heart, and for a moment he didn't see him who was covered by the evergreen old pine and lay slumped on the ground.

——The starlight tonight is too bright, so bright that with just one glance, he can clearly see Mo Shuyuan's figure, and the outline of the brocade box in his arms, with three or two edges and corners faintly showing.

He and Mo Shuyuan are brothers who grew up together since childhood, and his figure and posture have long been deeply engraved in his mind.

Therefore, even though he was wearing that night clothes, even if he dressed himself like the snitch on the beam, he still recognized him at a glance.

So at that moment, his heart seemed to have fallen into the deep sea for no reason, and the suffocating pressure almost made him drown on the spot.

He wanted to open his mouth to call his younger brother who was galloping away with big strides, but unexpectedly his voice became so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound.

He lay on his back on the spot for a while, finally got up in silence, and quietly walked on the road leading to the study——

He knew that this was his destiny.

Mo Shuyun raised his eyes and glanced at the bookshelf behind the table without any trace, the lacquered wooden blocks glowed with soft and scattered light under the stars and moon.

He looked at the bookshelf, and seemed to be able to see through it the hidden compartment behind it.

He knew that countless letters must have been stuffed in that grid, and there might be a golden jade seal imitated by craftsmen, and a small Xiuyu pendant from northern Xinjiang.

The young man's half-drooped eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and there was a faint and almost imperceptible hope hidden in his full of despair. He tried his best to pull the corners of his lips that were about to droop, and walked slowly, finally Stand in the center of the study.

"Fifth brother, did you... sneak out?" Mo Shuyun pretended to be relaxed and rolled his eyes, while Mo Shuyuan nodded embarrassingly when he heard the words: "Yes, you ran out secretly."

"Third brother, after the ban on beating the emperor, we brothers have not seen each other for seven or eight days."

"Little brother really thinks about you very hard, and I really couldn't hold it back tonight, so I sneaked out while the imperial guards outside the house were on shift." The young man raised his eyebrows, and a series of rhetoric was abruptly said by him. "Sincerely".

"I originally wanted to come here to chat with you, but when I got to your house, I found that all the lights in the house were turned off, only the two lanterns hanging downstairs in the study room were still on, so I thought it was yours. you are here."

"I don't think there's anyone downstairs, and I couldn't find anyone upstairs—I saw that the sky seemed to be in the middle of the night. I guessed that you were probably asleep at this time, so I tidied up and prepared to go to bed." Go home as soon as possible."

"In the end, before I got out of the window, I was bumped into by you, third brother." Mo Shuyuan grinned as he spoke, and the smile on his face seemed to become more and more sincere, "I think about it, this It's probably just fate—"

"Even God can't bear to let me go for nothing."

"Yes, this is really fate." Mo Shuyun nodded with a smile, and made a gesture to pull Mo Shu away to the other side of the desk, "So, fifth brother, sit down quickly, and while it's still early, I will accompany you well for my brother." Let's talk about the family."

"—By the way, should I call for some tea and snacks?"

"I remember that there are unopened cans of sweet-scented osmanthus in the kitchen, as well as chestnut paste stuffing made during the day, just enough to make your favorite chestnut osmanthus cake."

"No, no, third brother, don't forget," Mo Shuyuan waved his hands again and again, lest Mo Shuyun would be impulsive and really call his servants to come over and ruin his business, "The emperor's ban hasn't been lifted yet. , little brother, I ran out secretly."

"You called the servants in the mansion at this time, and I ran out to meet you quietly, wouldn't you reveal the truth?"

"If this matter is one more careless, and it is passed on to the ears of the emperor by that ignorant mouth... then I will really go away without food, little brother."

Mo Shuyuan laughed and begged for forgiveness: "Besides, it's not easy to make such a big commotion in the middle of the night—I want to sneak back to the house with Zi Mo Chou Chu in my hands, third brother, we can't It surprised the imperial guards guarding outside the mansion."

"Well, that's right, then I won't call anyone." Mo Shuyun followed suit, "It's just fifth brother, so I have to wrong you—"

"Looking back, don't dislike him as a brother who doesn't know how to entertain guests."

"Don't worry, third brother, I don't dislike it," Mo Shuyuan pursed his lips, patted his brother's shoulder comfortingly with one hand, and quietly touched the short-handled dagger hidden in his waist with the other. Dislike you for such a little thing?"

The gemstone embedded in the dagger was cold and hard, and the handle holding the gold thread hurt his fingertips. A gloomy and mysterious color suddenly flashed in the young man's eyes. He blinked slowly, and his voice followed. His eyes slowly darkened.

"Third brother, if I remember correctly, when we were young, did we often find such a deserted place to chat at night?" Mo Shuyuan said, the four-inch Xuefeng , was pulled out of the sheath inch by inch.

"Yes, when we were young, we often carried our mother and concubine behind our backs, and ran out to gossip in the middle of the night." Mo Shuyun slightly closed his jaw when he heard the sound, and his eyes couldn't help showing two points of nostalgia.

"At that time... we also said that we would share weal and woe for the rest of our lives and be each other's closest good brothers."

The young man suddenly raised his head, with a smile that was infinitely uglier than crying.

"Are you right...fifth brother?"

　The tail is done.

　　Tomorrow is bad, my heart can't take it anymore, so I will ask for leave to sleep.

　　Mo Shuyun is really about to send
