Not only because he has a marriage contract and Jiuyu, but more importantly, Jiuyu inadvertently grabbed his handle and his secret. He and Jiuyu have been in checks and balances for many years, and once Mo Chaoyun breaks this checks and balances, it is difficult to predict the consequences.

He is no longer the impulsive child he was ten years old with, he is Huo Xiyun, the king of Yanping County. He has too many responsibilities on his shoulders, and he can't go his own way like that.

Even if he could see Mo Chaoyun's unspoken mind in his eyes, he could only pretend not to know. No one knew the truest feelings in his heart, even Mo Chaoyun, she didn't know.

She had never known the kind of affection and mood he had always had for her...... These can only be buried in his heart along with the secrets of the past.

Chiba stared at Huo Xiyun's indescribable expression, but sneered slightly, "The first time I saw the dangerous halberd scar on Mo Chaoyun's side waist, I was thinking about something. ”

Huo Xiyun pursed his lips and didn't speak, just stared at Chiba and listened to him: "At such a close distance, and an unsuspecting person, coupled with the long and absolutely lethal weapon four-cornered whirlwind halberd, why is Mo Chaoyun still not dead, why is she still alive?" ”

Chiba continued to ask with some amusement: "The king of the county wants to tell me that Mo Chaoyun is born with good luck, and even then he will not die, right?" ”

Huo Xiyun stared at Chiba coldly, "You ask that, I think you already know the answer, don't you?" ”

Chiba raised an eyebrow and said his conclusion, "You didn't want to kill her at all!" Since you don't want to kill, who are you trying to deceive if you want to give her such serious scars? Lie to me? The owner of the Cave of Deception? Or the monarch of the Northern Zhao Kingdom? ”

Why? Huo Xiyun stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. Really, really never regretted it so much.

"Cao Jinlun's matter, the lonely king can not be investigated. The matter between Jiuyu and you, the Lone King can not intervene, and even what the Lone King said to the Lone King about the girl in your house, the Lone King can be regarded as not knowing, but," Beizhao King Chensi slowly turned the wine glass, "Everything has a price, Xiyun, do you understand what the Lone King means?" ”

Huo Xiyun knelt under the steps of the main hall and opened the scroll that Chenji threw in front of him, and the words on it caught his eye, which shocked him.

The Demon Cave, the two words that run throughout, are so clear that they are dazzling. Huo Xiyun was secretly surprised, how could Chenji know about this place? How much does Tatsuji know there? Why is he so persistent? What the hell is he trying to do?

"And this, you can also take a look, Gu Wang thought, you must also feel interested."

It was a picture scroll, and the paper was a little yellowed, and at a glance you could tell that some time had passed. Huo Xiyun slowly opened the picture scroll, and what caught his eye was a fire-like color, burning enthusiastically and eye-catching.

The woman in the painting is in high spirits, wearing a tunic dress with a fire-like color, which sets off the coldness of her eyebrows. Such a contradiction between cold and heat, but it is particularly striking.

Huo Xiyun looked from the woman's familiar eyebrows and eyes to the dazzling waist under the constraints of the battle skirt. He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"This is a portrait painted by Cao Jinlun, the lone king inquired, the person on this painting is the only one who assassinated Cao Jinlun, but he was able to escape with his whole body, so Cao Jinlun painted her portrait and vowed to kill her."

Tatsuji asked, "Nigumo, do you recognize who the person in this portrait is?" ”

Who is the person in the portrait...... Huo Xiyun's fingers were hidden behind the portrait, trembling slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

"Wouldn't it? The lonely king remembers that when he was young, he felt that the girl in this portrait and Xiyun were very close to you, if there was no accident, maybe she could finally become the princess of the county," Chen Si stared at Huo Xiyun, "Don't you even remember her?" Jiuyu's girl has a better memory than you, the lonely king only showed her once, and she recognized who she was. ”

Huo Xiyun's palms gradually became cold, but he heard Chen Si say slowly: "Mo Yunzheng...... If the Lone King remembers correctly, that's her name, right? ”

Mo Yunzheng ...... Huo Xiyun's heart was cold. It turns out that she is not dead, Yunzheng she is still alive......

"The girl who burned to death in the prison back then, she is not dead...... This matter is now big or small. Chenji's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Do you want to call Lao Qi too?" He should know something about this, right? ”

"The king......" Huo Xiyun finally spoke, "I don't know what the king wants to tell me to do?" ”

Chen Si smiled slightly, "It's not difficult, even King Gu thinks that since you know that Mo Yunzheng is still alive, you will definitely be equally interested in doing this." ”

He stopped, stared at Huo Xiyun, and said slowly: "In that place in the Demon Cave, the Lone King wants to know where it is hiding and how to get there, so the Lone King wants a pair of eyes and a pair of ears to help the Lone King achieve this wish, the candidate for the Lone King already has it, you just need to arrange it." ”

Huo Xiyun was almost suffocated, and he said cautiously: "Who is the candidate that the king said?" ”

Chenji laughed, "Xigumo, have you ever fished?" If you want to catch a big fish, you must put the bait right, as long as the bait is tempting enough, what fish will not obediently bite the hook? If you look at the portrait and still don't understand what the Lone King means, it's disappointing, isn't it? ”

He paused, and then said earnestly: "That girl in your house is the most perfect bait at present, and I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, Xiyun, you are the one who leads the soldiers, you should understand this truth, don't you?" ”

Use a traitor abandoned by the county king's mansion to fish for the big fish of the Demon Cave...... The king of Beizhao was not discussing with him, but informing him. If he didn't agree, Chen Si would have a justifiable reason to make Mo Chaoyun disappear from now on.

Chiba is right, maybe Jiuyu is a fuse, but in the end, it is not Jiuyu who contributed to this, but the greed and desire of the human heart.

"If she is intact, she will not be like a lost dog who can escape from the county king's mansion, so let the fish bite the hook and cut the bait, because the stronger the smell of blood, the more the fish will be too excited to do it themselves." Chenji patted Huo Xiyun on the shoulder, "The acting should be realistic, and doing so is also good for the bait, because only by deceiving the people in the demon cave can she be safe, right?" Don't worry, the lonely king doesn't want her to die, after all, it took so much trouble and the thing was not done, and she died, which would be a pity. ”

*****

Huo Xiyun raised his forehead and said, "I really regret it......"

"Regret what?" Chiba asked coldly, "Regret using Mo Chaoyun?" Regret lying to her...... Or do you regret letting her meet me? ”

Chiba's last words stimulated Huo Xiyun, and he raised his head and glared at Chiba coldly.

Chiba raised her eyebrows, "King Huojun, Mo Chaoyun doesn't know about this yet, she is a simple girl, if she knew your plan in advance, she would definitely involuntarily show her feet, I think you also know her temperament well, so you will hide it from her, right?" This scene is really good, even she was deceived, that stupid girl really thought that she escaped under the four-cornered whirlwind halberd, and even fell off the cliff There was a living spring at the bottom, and it just so happened that there was a mother-in-law in a raccoon clothes who just saved her......"

Huo Xiyun gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?" ”

"Because she can't penetrate people's hearts and sinister people's hearts, because she believes in you wholeheartedly, and because she will definitely forgive you in the end, that's why you are so fearless King Huojun?" Chiba asked coldly, "I've seen her old injuries, and she didn't hurt her lightly with that halberd, even so, she still went back to Yanping to see you with all her heart, because she believed that you must have a hard time, even if she was desperate in her heart, she still firmly believed that you wouldn't treat her like this!" It's just that your so-called bitterness dares to let her know? Firecloud Ride......"

"I didn't!" Chiba only said three words about Huoyun Ride, and Huo Xiyun immediately retorted.

"Oh-" Chiba sighed, "So it's the Qinghe County Lord who stole the military talisman and mobilized the Huoyun Cavalry, and you don't know anything about the King of Huojun?" ”

Huo Xiyun took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "No matter what, Chaoyun is back with me, and I will definitely not let her leave me again." ”

Chiba leaned back in the chair, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a cold arc, "Now it's not up to King Huojun to have the final say in this matter, don't forget, I sent her back, not you got her back." ”

Huo Xiyun also looked back at Chiba coldly, "After talking for a long time, it's just that I hope I agree to your plan." You say that I use Chaoyun, why don't you see her as a bargaining chip with me? Do you think I don't understand why you sent her back to me?

Chiba snorted coldly, "Then guess why?" ”

"I don't care what happened to Chaoyun and you in the past few months." Huo Xiyun said seriously: "You just told me that Chaoyun told you all about her past, including how she was expelled from the county palace by me, how desperate, how sad, in other words, you are showing off to me that she trusts and relies on you now, right?" That's right, it's easy for the people who are with you when you're at your lowest point to take advantage of it, no matter what tricks and means you use, now that Chaoyun likes you, all you rely on is that she cares about you now, and you want to use this to negotiate terms with me, right? I'm telling you, it's impossible! ”

Seeing Chiba squinting coldly, Huo Xiyun sneered, "Why did she say that her halberd was seriously injured, but it was just to remind me that you had seen her body......"

In the next moment, there was a loud bang on the table in front of him. Almost in the blink of an eye, the table case cracked open the cracks that kept crumbling, getting bigger and looser, and with the palm that exerted force along the center of Chiba, the desk in front of Huo Xiyun almost collapsed in a moment.

"I promise if I hear you insult her again, it won't be this table that I'll smash next time."

Chiba moved as fast as the wind, but in the blink of an eye, he was still sitting on the chair opposite, but the table in front of him was gone. Pen and ink, paper, inkstones, and books are all buried in the ruins of the table. The sound in the night was extremely clear, and soon Yanbei's voice was heard, "County King, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have to come in."

The study was quiet again, and Chiba and Huo Xiyun looked at each other coldly, and there was a tense dead silence.
