"If you think so, you'll feel better." Huo Xiyun said as he took out something from his sleeve and put it on the round table, "Since you are tired, then rest early, I hope to wake up tomorrow and everything can get back on track." ”

After Huo Xiyun finished speaking, he pushed open the door and left. Only Mo Chaoyun was left in the room. She stared at the object on the round table for a long time, and finally reached out and took it.

It was a small embroidered sachet with a familiar appearance and a familiar knot. Before Chiba took it off, she wore it like a treasure around her neck for many years.

She cherishes this little sachet, but she cherishes Chiba even more. For his sake, she had no choice but to give up this little sachet.

She slowly stroked the delicate embroidered surface of the small sachet and slowly untied the sachet strap. She poured the crescent beans inside into the palm of her hand, and there was a note that fell along with it.

Mo Chaoyun stared at the note for a long time before unfolding it. There are not many words on it, and the meaning of the words is also very obvious-

has been with her for nineteen years, if she is in the middle of the banquet, I think the king of the county will recognize it. Whether you can take her away depends on how sincere the king of the county is. Good luck.

The note slipped from Mo Chaoyun's fingers, and finally fell to the ground. She clutched the small sachet in one hand and propped her forehead on the table with the other.

For a long time, the room was quiet, and she felt suffocated. It turned out that her sincerity had been with her for months, but in the end, she only got him a few words. He really treated her differently from others, at least he still let her live, compared to Luo Yusheng's death, isn't her this kind of encounter too much stronger?

What else is she not satisfied with? She doesn't have to die, she should be happy, but why is she so sad, she wants to cry so much, no matter how she can't bear it. She tried to laugh, but when the empty echo came back, she realized that this laughter was worse than crying.

After a long time, her cries began to rise, from the initial sobbing to the louder and louder until her heart rended.

Huo Xiyun stood outside the door and listened, a little stiff. For the first time, he felt that some kind of stoic emotion was about to overthrow his reason, so he clenched his fists desperately, and restrainedly admonished himself to be calm and not to be impulsive.

But his brows were furrowed, his face was tense to the point of ugliness, and the feelings in his heart were even more complicated, whether it was pain or anger, annoyance or hatred, maybe both, maybe more than these, in short, it was difficult to describe.

He never thought that just a few months of separation would make Mo Chaoyun have such a big change. Who was the man who made her change?

Huo Xiyun stepped down the steps with his hands in his hands, and walked forward with a depression, and was about to walk out of the courtyard where Mo Chaoyun was now, but saw Yan Bei coming towards him, "King of the county." ”

"Did you hear the news?"

"Lord Xue Jian Xue didn't show up at Mrs. Yuhua's banquet tonight, it seems that she is sick."

Huo Xiyun groaned: "Such a coincidence? He paused and said, "What about the Seventh Highness?" ”

"After the king of the county has left for a long time, His Royal Highness the Seventh has not left yet, and it seems that he is waiting for the king."

Huo Xiyun frowned, "What will he and the king say?" By the way, what is the origin of the woman dancing during the banquet, can you find it? ”

Yan Bei shook his head, "The corpse was taken away by the Seventh Highness, it seems that what the Seventh Highness wants to say to the king is also related to this woman." ”

"Find a painter in the house to draw a portrait of this woman as soon as possible...... Also," Huo Xiyun frowned deeply, "Gather all the kung fu masters, as many as you want, and at the same time, the heaven and earth net in the mansion will be opened immediately!" This matter is very important, it is in front of everything, and if anyone dares to slack off, this king will never be lenient! ”

"Don't worry, the king of the county." After Yan Bei finished, he hesitated for a moment before he said, "I heard that Xiaoyun is back, should I go to see her?" ”

Huo Xiyun shook his head, "A lot of things, I haven't had time to tell her, you better don't see her, lest she rebound even more, you also avoid this courtyard these days, don't show up." ”

Yan Bei sighed, "King Jun, she is a sensible girl, she will understand." ”

"I suddenly regretted it......"

"The king of the county?"

Huo Xiyun didn't speak again, just sighed, "You go." ”

*****

Xue Jian subconsciously closed his eyes, he had been covered for too long, and when he first touched the light, he almost felt a stinging pain in his eyes. It took a long time before he blinked, and then he was stunned.

There was a lamp in the room, although he had been covered with a black hood before, but darkness and light were opposites, even if black blocked everything outside, but such a sensitive light source still could not be ignored.

He was tied to a chair, and in front of him was a rectangular table, and the candlestick was in the corner of the square table, and across the square table sat a man peacefully. Xue Jian had always thought that he was the only one in the room, if it weren't for the person who took off his hood and exited the room at the signal of the person sitting across from him, he would have thought that he was the only one in the room all along, except for the person who had just taken off his hood.

The candle flame flickered, and the face of the person opposite was half bright and half extinguished, but even so, Xue Jian had to say that the person opposite had an excellent appearance, even if he was just a teenager in front of him, but the outline of his eyebrows and eyes was already amazing, if he grew up one day, he would definitely be a figure that made everyone fall in love.

"Lord Xue, don't you want to say something?" The stunning young man in white on the other side spoke, but he had a calmness and determination that did not match his age.

Xue Jian frowned, "Who are you?" ”

The young man in white smiled, "The one who invited you to be a guest." ”

"Guest?" Xue Jian snorted coldly, "Knock people out, put on a hood, hijack them all the way, and then tie them to a chair...... Could it be that I am lonely and unheard, and now it is so simple and rude to invite people as guests? ”

The young man in white said solemnly: "Maybe it's a little rough, but it saves time." Because it's a little later, Lord Xue's head is estimated to be out of order, and I won't be so particular about it, if it makes Lord Xue feel rude, then I'm sorry. ”

Xue Jian was stunned when he heard this, "The head is not guaranteed?" What do you mean? ”

"Lord Xue didn't go to the birthday banquet in Mrs. Yuhua's mansion tonight because of his illness, but he missed a good show." The young man in white lowered his voice and said, "At the banquet, someone carried a murder weapon with the intention of murdering the king, and the matter was revealed to commit suicide during the banquet. The king was furious, and found that the woman who intended to assassinate him had a close relationship with Lord Xue, so he sent the Praetorian Guards to besiege the mansion overnight to arrest him. ”

When Xue Jian heard this, Huo Ran stood up, rushed to the door and looked, and saw that the smoke of a beacon fire seemed to be lit in the distance, and the smoke became more and more intense in the dark night, slowly rising into the air, drawing a cloud map in the air.

"Jing Niang is dead." Seeing that Xue Jian turned his head to look at him when he heard this, the young man in white said slowly; "I'm here to talk to Lord Xue about a deal."

How Jing Niang died, there is no need to ask anymore. Xue Jian looked ugly, and returned to sit opposite the young man in white, "I don't even know what your surname is, why should I believe what you said to me." ”

"The name doesn't really matter, but since Lord Xue asked, of course I will answer you." The young man in white hooked his lips and smiled, "My name is Chiba, as for whether you want to believe me or not, you will naturally know after seeing the meeting gift I gave you." ”

As she spoke, Chiba picked up a box at her feet and placed it on the rectangular table. Under Xue Jian's gaze, he twisted the box of the mechanism, and with a "click" the box finally separated.

Chiba pushed the box forward, "The box has been untied, but it's better for you to open the lid yourself." ”

Xue Jian stared at the box for a long time and didn't move, he looked at Qianye coldly, "Why should I open it?" Who knows if you have other mechanisms hidden inside? If it's a □□ or something, wouldn't my life be in danger? ”

"If I want to kill you, why bother to get you out?" Chiba raised an eyebrow, "I'm a person who never wastes time on meaningless things, don't worry, the contents of the box won't hurt you, but it will definitely surprise you." ”

Xue Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to the box. When he was about to open the lid, Chiba said, "You'd better be mentally prepared. ”

Xue Jian sneered: "It's you who let me drive, and it's you who hinders me from driving, are you ......" The word sick was stuck in his throat.

When the lid was opened, there was a human head inside. The human head should not have been newly chopped, because there was only a faint faint fragrance in the box, but there was no trace of blood, and it was obvious that someone had cleaned up the blood stains and placed some kind of antiseptic spice.

"Sick!" Xue Jian finally said these two words, "Hijacked me in the middle of the night, just to get someone's head hidden in the box to scare me?" ”

Chiba didn't speak immediately, but listened to Xue Jian continue to say angrily: "Although I am a literati, I am not so frightened that I will scream when I see a human head, and let you down." ”

Chiba snorted, shrugged his shoulders, and then pushed the candlestick on the table towards Xue Jian's side, "Don't you take a closer look at who she is?" I said I wouldn't waste my time doing things that didn't make sense, so do you think I'm just scaring you with a human head in the middle of the night? ”

Xue Jian frowned, but still pulled the candlestick and came to the box. The soft and warm light slowly shone on the human head's face, enveloping the originally stiff skin with a layer of fresh vitality. Xue Jian's eyes slowly froze, and the hand holding the candlestick tightened more and more.

Half of his face facing the candle flame was branded with a deep mark of sin. The dazzling and hideous word "rebellion" almost ran through half of the face. Xue Jian shook his hand and slowly touched the potholed word, and with the other hand, he turned the other half of the face of the human head and looked carefully in the direction of the lamp and candle.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who killed her?" ”

"Jing Niang."

"I don't believe it!" Xue Jian, who was pretending to be calm, finally broke out, and he roared angrily: "Who the hell are you! Why do you have a nine-micro human head! ”
