Xiao Muqing and Huang Mingxiang were already sitting face to face at the dining table, they chose to enjoy dinner together inside the room. After receiving a report from Su Mama that the kitchen maids would soon enter to deliver food, Huang Mingxiang hurriedly got up and came out in person.
Outside, Huang Mingxiang ordered the kitchen maids to put the food inside, next walking towards Yui who had already stiffened the tray containing the sleeping powder medicine cup.
"Yinwei." Yui slightly lowered her head while giving the tray a drink, then returned straight and looked at Huang Mingxiang full of confidence, as if saying, 'definitely succeed!'.
Huang Mingxiang smilingly nodded, after which turned around and walked into the room.
"Wangye, before meeting you I had time to make green tea sent directly by neighboring countries. The taste of the tea is so unique and delicious, your majesty should try it." Huang Mingxiang placed the drink before Xiao Muqing, then sat down opposite the man again.
Huang Mingxiang placed the side dishes into Xiao Muqing's rice bowl, serving the man personally.
Xiao Muqing clasped the cup, paying attention to the contents. Huang Mingxiang's heart was pounding, worried that Xiao Muqing could realize that there was another ingredient in the tea. But ... his worries went away when the man took a sip of the green tea.
"It doesn't feel bad" Xiao Muqing said, then put down the cup and began to eat the food that Huang Mingxiang had prepared.
Huang Mingxiang nodded, smiling. "Really, right?" He then put the meat in his mouth.
"Unfortunately there is something strange about the tea," said Xiao Muqing, making the movement of putting meat into Huang Mingxiang's mouth come to a halt. Huang Mingxiang was stiff, his eyes staring at Xiao Muqing in bewilderment.
"Any? Strange as what?" huang Mingxiang asked, trying to cover up her nervousness.
"It feels like grass," Xiao Muqing replied, making Huang Mingxiang sigh in relief. It is the natural taste of green tea.
Huang Mingxiang smiled again. "It is precisely that taste that makes it interesting, Wangye. Mingxiang really liked the taste."
Xiao Muqing nodded briefly, not answering anything anymore. The two of them were busy finishing the meal, Huang Mingxiang occasionally put the meat and other side dishes into Xiao Muqing's bowl as he saw the side dishes in the man's bowl begin to run out.
Finished eating, Huang Mingxiang stood up and sat down in front of the lute that he had deliberately asked the servant to prepare. His eyes looked at Xiao Muqing softly, then said, "Wangye, do you want to hear the music again?"
Xiao Muqing nodded. "certain."
Huang Mingxiang gave a simple nod back, he immediately took a breath to relax his body, then carefully plucked the lute strings.
"The flower blooms ten miles for you. Playing that old song is like you're still standing behind me. It rained everywhere, and I waited for you quietly."
"With this lifetime of meeting ... instead of the scene around you, even if there is only one moment. With one word, one heart and one mind. All I did was listen to the rain with you under the roof."
"Rain falls everywhere, and I wait for you quietly. With distance, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow, sometimes close and sometimes far. To add a touch of poetry because of regret and attachment. The origin of bitter, sweet, dream and illusion to enjoy a drink with you under the knife and sword."
"With this lifelong encounter .. flowers bloom ten miles for you. Playing that old song is like you're still standing behind me. It's raining everywhere, and I'm waiting for you quietly, baby ...."
The last quote, Huang Mingxiang looked back at Xiao Muqing. The man smiled, Huang Mingxiang smiled as well. Xiao Muqing's facial complexion seemed to hold back the drowsiness, the man occasionally blinked his eyes to resuscitate. Right after Huang Mingxiang's last quote earlier, the man again gulped down the 'said' green tea made by Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang stood up, walking slowly to approach towards Xiao Muqing. The man sat before the man, they looked at each other, smiling.
Increasingly, Xiao Muqing's smile disappeared. The gentle and warm gaze of the man disappeared, becoming cold and sharp. The aura killed the man out.
Huang Mingxiang shook his head slowly, still smiling. His hand moved to stroke Xiao Muqing's cheek, yet the man brushed it roughly and strangled Huang Mingxiang's neck.
"That's right! You're playing benwang!" Xiao Muqing looked at Huang Mingxiang like his enemy, a feeling of anger and disappointment mixed in his heart. The two men's eyes were slightly reddened, holding back a tearful, great disappointment. Is ... If this Xiao Muqing must accept betrayal and the feeling of being abandoned again?
Huang Mingxiang gripped Xiao Muqing's arm which was strangling her neck very strongly, trying to break away. Slowly, the sleeping powder medicine worked a hundred percent. Xiao Muqing's two eyes could not be held back anymore, the man's grip on Huang Mingxiang's neck gradually loosened.
Huang Mingxiang tried to move his hand again to touch both cheeks of Xiao Muqing. As the man slowly closed his eyes tightly and fell towards him, Huang Mingxiang said, "Wangye. Mingxiang loves you very much." After that Xiao Muqing fell completely asleep in Huang Mingxiang's arms.
Huang Mingxiang tightly hugged Xiao Muqing, seeing the angry and disappointed look on the man's face made Huang Mingxiang's heart ache. Huang closed his eyes, tears gradually falling down slowly.
Huang Mingxiang took a deep breath, beating himself out of the mind. The woman's right hand moved to remove the rough trace of her tears, then glanced coldly towards the door.
"Master Gu."
The door of Xiao Muqing's room immediately opened, Gu Sinjie walked in. The man immediately helped Huang Mingxiang to move Xiao Muqing onto the mattress. After she finished, Huang Mingxiang stared at the figure of her husband who was fast asleep for the last time before completely leaving Xiao Wangfu.
"We have one day before Wangye wakes up. We can't just let Wangye come to his senses, because Wangye will definitely be able to easily pull me back if I haven't really arrived at Lang Tao Mountain yet" Huang Mingxiang said, then turned towards Gu Sinjie. "After Wangye wakes up you might also get in trouble, Wangye will definitely not be silent if she finds out I went to Mount Lang Tao."
Gu Sinjie nodded, then bowed towards Huang Mingxiang. "That's no big deal, Niangniang. I'll hold on."
Huang Mingxiang smiled, nodding. For the last time again before leaving, Huang Mingxiang approached towards Xiao Muqing and dyed the man's forehead. Then, Huang Mingxiang removed the rare pomegranate red stone pendant necklace Xiao Muqing gave as another proof of identity that he was a 'Xiao Wangfei' and placed it beside the man.
Huang Mingxiang turned around, walking out. Gu Sinjie followed from behind. Outside, Yui and Baili Ruyi had been waiting.
"Wangfei, I'll help you change clothes." Yui advanced, after getting a nod from Huang Mingxiang the woman immediately followed Huang Mingxiang towards the other residence. The items of their equipment were placed there to keep Xiao Muqing from knowing.
Baili Ruyi and Gu Sinjie also followed, both of them waiting and standing guard at the door. Before long, Huang Mingxiang's room door opened again. Huang Mingxiang was ready in all-black clothes with one elegant red stripe on his arm. The woman's hair was locked by a horse, with a white jade hair pin to hold the hair together. He also did not forget to wear a thick black coat to protect her from the cold snow.
On the waist of Huang Mingxiang already perched on one large sword, the woman also carried a small backpack. It contained only white water, some bread, a map of Mount Lang Tao, signalling firecrackers, and a small torch just in case. Huang Mingxiang also kept one small dagger in his shirt pocket, this was for emergency situations.
"Yinwei."
Gu Sinjie handed over a black face-covering cloth, Baili Ruyi had worn it first. After Huang Mingxiang received it, Gu Sinjie turned to give Yui the face-covering cloth.
"Just tell Wangye the truth if when the man goes berserk and forces you to talk, Sinjie. Wangye is also unlikely to be able to catch up with me with his condition still like that" Huang Mingxiang said as he tied the face-covering cloth.
Gu Sinjie nodded, then bowed towards Huang Mingxiang. "Well, Wangfei." After that, he knelt down. "Wangfey! Please, be careful. Mount Lang Tao is very dangerous, I hope you can return safely and successfully."
Huang Mingxiang smiled, turned his head briefly towards Gu Sinjie and nodded, after which he looked straight ahead again. "Thank you very much, Mr. Gu for all your prayers and help."
Huang Mingxiang stepped out of his residence, Baili Ruyi and Yui followed. They tried to avoid the eyes of the other guards from Xiao Wangfu, after finding a suitable place, Huang Mingxiang assisted with Baili Ruyi and Yui, darted away just like that.
Huang Mingxiang's martial ability was already excellent, yet he was still lacking fluency in using Qinggong's skill to levitate and jump as far as the roof to the roof was. But at least Huang Mingxiang could already fight against real enemies, not just dodge and fend off like he used to.
Yui and Baili Ruyi brought Huang Mingxiang out of the Capital gate, one kilo meter from there were already three horses waiting for them. Each of them immediately climbed onto the horse and began the journey towards Mount Lang Tao.
