In the middle of the night, a few unknown birdsong sounds can occasionally be heard in the distance in the quiet forest, and the moon hangs high in the sky, but the silver light cannot penetrate the leaves.

Zhu Yuenuan sat in the room, and the oil lamp in front of her only shone dimly.

The house was very simple, except for a simple small wooden table, there was not even a bed, only a thick futon in the corner of the wooden house.

There are a lot of arrows and rattan and various kinds of bamboo of different lengths by the door.

At this time, Zhu Yuenuan was laying a piece of rice paper in front of her, and half of the drawings were drawn on it, all of which were the terrain obtained from field investigations after living here.

"Stunned~~" Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of birds fluttering outside.

Zhu Yuenuan paused, and raised her eyes to look out of the window.

Outside, there was no movement.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuenuan put down the pen, folded the rice paper and stuffed it under the futon, blew out the oil lamp, grabbed a bamboo bow and a quiver and flashed out, and hid among the trees on the side.

But I saw that a black shadow quickly approached, stopped three feet away, and looked around.

It was too dark in the forest, and I could only vaguely see human figures, but I couldn't see who it was.

Zhu Yuenuan squinted her eyes and quietly put the arrow in her hand on the string.

The person who came stayed in that place and looked left and right, as if he was looking for something, but as if he was observing something, he didn't take a step inside.

Zhu Yuenuan's arrow pressed down again, aiming in the direction of the man.

It was a long time before the man took a step out of his legs, tread the crooked route, and cautiously approached the treehouse where she was.

Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips, and the strings in her hands were pulled more round.

"Zhu Huwei, Natuo came to visit, can you come out to see it?" Unexpectedly, when the man got under the treehouse, he did not enter anymore, but raised his head and threw his hand at the treehouse, and said in a loud voice.

Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment and put down the arrow in his hand.

"Zhu Guard. Nata has something to discuss, can you come out and see it? Natha said again.

"In the middle of the night, what are you looking for me?" Zhu Yuenuan thought about it and fell lightly from the tree. He looked at Nata with a cold face.

Hearing this, Natuo adjusted his direction, looked at Zhu Yuenuan, and said with a light smile: "I just learned that Zhu Hufu is living in seclusion here, and I came to pay a visit." ”

"Lonely men and widows. Under the melon field and plums, what can't you come during the day? Zhu Yuenuan replied lightly, but put away the arrow in her hand.

"Recently, there have been a lot of people in the Dragon Scale Mountain, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to come during the day." Na Tuo said with a smile, "What's more, Zhu Huwei is also a person of temperament, is it better to account for these?" ”

"There's nothing straight to say, you don't have to bend around like this." Zhu Yuenuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she went to the tree house. Standing there, he looked at Na Tuo condescendingly, and asked lightly, "Do you need my help?" ”

"Not necessarily." Natuo chuckled, but he didn't lean up like Zhu Yuenuan, but put his hands on the trunk of the tree and climbed up in three or two clicks.

Zhu Yuenuan looked at him, pursed her lips and pushed the door in.

A smile appeared on Nata's face and followed.

"Can you talk about things now?" Zhu Yuenuan sat cross-legged at the small wooden table, re-lit the small oil lamp, and raised her hand to pour a glass of warm water for Natuo. He didn't look up and asked calmly.

Nata was surveying the room, frowning slightly, as she heard her question. Only then did he retract his gaze and sat opposite Zhu Yuenuan, in the dim light, his expression was clearly extinguished, but his eyes were bright and shining, staring at Zhu Yuenuan.

Zhu Yuenuan brought the tea over. Raising his eyes and looking at him calmly: "You should know that I don't have a good temper." ”

When Nata heard this, the corners of his lips curled: "I have been taught." ”

"Well, what's the matter with me?" Zhu Yuenuan didn't even bother to bother with polite words, and asked directly again.

"Cooperation." Nata said softly.

"You've found the wrong person, and I don't care about the door now." Zhu Yuenuan didn't drink tea either, her hands were naturally on her knees, and she looked directly at Natuo and said.

"You don't care about the door, why do you want to stay here?" Na Tuo smiled and said, "You just don't care about Lord Chu, right?" But you can't let go of the people in the gate, that's why you're here, with a mechanism outside, and hiding in such a humble place alone, if you say that you have no purpose, you can't say it. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Zhu Yuenuan answered lightly, "I live here because I don't know how to face my parents when I go back." ”

"Ming people don't say dark words, Zhu Huwei, we are not fools, so why do we say this?" Natuo shook his head, took a big sip of tea, and said, "I will contact Lord Chu about the matter, I came to look for you, but it was for private matters. ”

"What?" Zhu Yuenuan heard him mention Chu Yitong, her eyes flashed slightly, and she avoided asking.

"Do you remember that Lord Chu sent a few Als to hunt for wolves before?" When Nata said this, his face straightened.

"Naturally, I remember." Zhu Yuenuan was stunned, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"They haven't come back yet." Nata said, "I'm afraid they might be in trouble, and this is because of you, but now only you can solve it." ”

"You want me to go to them?" Zhu Yuenuan softened her tone.

"Yes, I can't let them have an accident, and you're in need of the wolves there." Natuo nodded calmly and said clearly, "I hope you can go for me, and I will keep an eye on the safety of the gate for you." ”

"Is that all?" Zhu Yuenuan narrowed her eyes and looked at Natuo suspiciously.

"I'll tell you the truth, I have reached a consensus with Lord Chu, and when the time comes, I will lead people to attack the gate in a false way, force back the people of Gaoqi Mansion, and destroy the family affairs of the third lady of the prefect's mansion, and he will arrange for my brothers to leave."

"Your idea?" Zhu Yuenuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Natuo without commenting.

"It's not." Na Tuo shook his head slowly, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Lord Chu is not the pedantic scholar I thought, he actually dared to come up with such an idea, you know, I am the Huyou Clan, if half of this plan is leaked and used by someone with a heart, he may be doomed." ”

"In that case, why do you sue me? How can I work with you if I am so untrustworthy? Zhu Yuenuan's tone was cold and questioned.

"It is precisely because I attach importance to the cooperation with Lord Chu that I will come here." Nata laughed and said, "If I want to harm him, will I come to sue you?" Or do you want to attack him because of love and hate? ”

Zhu Yuenuan was suddenly dumbfounded, lowered her eyes slightly, her fingers curled slightly on her knees, and she groaned for a moment before asking in a low voice: "How do you want me to cooperate?" ”

Na Tuo looked at her, immediately smiled, and praised: "I know that Zhu Huwei values love and righteousness, and will never abandon him." (To be continued.) )
