After thinking quietly for a moment, Lu Zhu continued to ask: "Why is he deaf, and he still serves as a servant under your door, looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like an ordinary person." ”

"But you care about him very much," Yao Jinmo sneered, muttering strangely, seeing that she had no intention of refuting, she was also bored, pretending to hang her appetite for a long time, before continuing to speak indifferently, "His father was a first-class official in Yao Guo back then, he was beheaded for embezzlement, his family wealth was confiscated, and his children were sold together with slaves. ”

"His father was framed, wasn't he? Otherwise, you would have gotten rid of this trouble, and you wouldn't have included him in the house. "Yao Jinmo has never been a person who is unsure or even trading at a loss, so it is not unreasonable for Luzhu to have this speculation.

Yao Jinmo glanced at Qing Yu, who was still pouring the fire straight down, and didn't realize what was happening, and looked around him towards the dark distance, his eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, faintly shining under the halo of the firelight, as if he was recalling: "His father was the one who stood on my side back then, and Ji Shuxuan's faction was very rampant and sharp at that time, and it took a year to plan a frame-up. Although he made something out of nothing, he didn't care much about it in the past, and led some ambiguous people to perjury, and this framing implicated a wide range of people, so he had to find a scapegoat to take this trumped-up charge, and his father was the first choice. ”

"His dad volunteered? What conditions did you promise him? "Naturally, no one would be so stupid as to sacrifice their lives and the future of their whole family to be fearless just to save someone who is not directly related to their family, and this kind of selfless dedication is very rare, at least she has not heard of it, and she really does not believe it.

Yao Jinmo glanced back at her, then turned his head and continued to look into the distance, noncommittal: "Yes, I promise to keep his only son safe for the rest of his life." ”

Since he was chosen by the crown prince, he naturally has no right to refuse, and the prince can find out with his conscience and mercifully grant him a wish, which is already a blessing, after all, it is a death, why not want to be able to keep the person he cares about the most? Officialdom has always been so cruel, Lu Zhu didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, and continued to ask which question she was most concerned about and which he didn't answer for a long time: "Then how did he lose his ears?" ”

Yao Jinmo didn't look at her, he was silent for a long time, and then he said with guilt: "That year, I went out to inspect the flood, and was trapped in a room by the dead soldiers sent by Ji Shuxuan, and he set off rockets with the intention of burning me alive, and I was seriously injured at that time, and the hidden guard did not follow him, so I couldn't get out of the trap. ”

He had always been so proud, even if he really felt guilty, he would not show it in his mouth. And from his eyes, she clearly saw the guilt, although it was as light as water, but she knew that if he could be like this on his face, he must be extremely uncomfortable in his heart. So she tried to ease the heavy atmosphere, and deliberately said in a tone of disbelief: "You will also be hurt? ”

Yao Jinmo also understood that she said this just to make him feel better, but she didn't break through this layer of window paper, both of which were well known, and followed her words and said: "But mortal flesh and earth, and it is not the body of an iron wall and a copper wall, and someone is worried about putting you to death all day long, if you are clumsy and don't know the slightest martial arts, you don't know how many times you have been delayed, but you should be admired for being injured, oh, no, according to your words, you should worship me." ”

There was a lot of irony in these words, and he still remembered her words! Originally, with the spirit of selfless dedication, I wanted to comfort him, but now I was beaten upside down by him, and Luzhu's heart was really unbalanced!

However, I thought that he was going to brag a few times about how strong his martial arts were to defeat a hundred, and an accident happened only after an oversight occurred, and he should really praise him when he was so honest: "It can also be regarded as self-aware." ”

Looking at Yao Jinmo's proud nodding appearance, Lu Zhu pulled the corners of his mouth and kindly reminded: "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the first half of the sentence." ”

Yao Jinmo: "......"

The atmosphere eased, and the problem could continue, after all, if the conversation gate was opened, it would really make it difficult for the casserole to break the casserole and ask in the end, and the governor did not doubt the faith, of course, this is just an excuse that she did not find out of her own curiosity, after all, most of the mysteries about her body are still unsolved, but she can't sleep at night!

"Why does he follow you?" She stared straight at her as she spoke, trying to see if there was information in his eyes that she wanted to know, after all, eyes are the windows to the soul, and they are often more real than words.

As long as Qingyu is a smart person, he has no reason to hate Yao Jinmo, after all, if anyone is in Yao Jinmo's position, it will be like this, and it is only because his father is in the wrong position, in a position that is easy to be regarded as the first bird. If it is said that the person who is to blame will only be the initiator - Ji Shuxuan!

In the end, there are some people who are often blinded by reality, and what they hate in their hearts is only to understand the person who hurt them, but they never delve into the culprit of the result, and never know that if there is no person who exists, he will still suffer this calamity. But Qingyu is the best among all living beings!

However, even so, there is no need for him to follow Yao Jinmo, although he has no reason to hate him, but there is no reason to protect him. The relationship between the world and the world above the officialdom is already cold, and he can go away to the end of the world, live the life he wants, or want to re-enter the officialdom, but it is not impossible to re-engage in this struggle with a different identity for a while. At least Yao Jinmo will turn a blind eye, and he is ninety percent sure that he will be on the same side as his father like him, after all, the enemy of his enemy is his friend.

And succumbing to Yao Jinmo's work is undoubtedly the most unwise choice.

"For I can guarantee him what he will do for the rest of his life."

It's not unreasonable to think about it this way, after all, Yao Jinmo is the closest person to Ji Shuxuan and the most direct person to fight with him, let him be an official of the court, although he will not encounter obstacles, but Ji Shuxuan is not a fool, so why doesn't he know that he is coming for his life and even the whole clan, in this way, targeting him everywhere, avoiding him, under the oppression of his rising power for many years, it is difficult for him to show his strength.

But joining Yao Jinmo's disciples is not ordinary, he is not only hidden in the shadows, but also can grasp Ji Shuxuan's latest moves in real time, and Yao Jinmo's ultimate goal coincides with him, so that compared to the power of one person, the odds of winning have really increased several times. When the time is ripe, he can eradicate his deep roots in one fell swoop.

After being silent for a long time, the two of them had their own thoughts.

Lu Zhu, who had cleared his mind, suddenly raised his eyebrows at him, and said with great disdain: "To be honest, don't be too stupid for your arrogant appearance just now, I almost question your IQ, oh, by the way, you seem to have been like this all along, and you forgot about it." Oh, and besides, with your IQ, I'm afraid you don't know what tsundere means, right? ”

Yao Jinmo: "......"

Qing Yu, who was sitting on the side, had already noticed that the two of them were looking at him from time to time, knowing that they were talking about themselves, but they didn't care much, so they just made the fire and thought about what he cared about. Just because he is alone now, there is nothing to think about......

The night was like ink, the night wind was cold, and the two of them finally fell asleep again after making a fuss. The forest suddenly regained its lonely color, and the occasional chirping sound came, which was even more poignant. But it was no different for him, his world had been silent and dark since that day, and it would be so for the rest of his life, and there was only one thing he cared about......
