Chapter 178: The Real Reason
The winter nights are getting longer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was already early in the morning, but the sky outside was still dark, and the morning light seemed to be frozen by the cold winter.
On the ivy vines of the main courtyard, the mist accumulates little by little into crystal dewdrops, slowly sliding down the tips of the drooping leaves.
Although the hour was early, Xu Baizhi had already gotten up.
He withdrew his gaze from the window and approached the bookcase.
The letter had been opened, and it was the news that he had sent back from the spies he had planted at the border.
As for the contents of the letter......
As Si Jichen said, Tanglin also began to participate in this war.
From the very beginning, the dust has been laid out, the death in the dungeon, the assassination of Huyandun in the Northern Desert, the conflict with the Northern Desert on the border, Sun Qi's departure from the capital, until now......
Northern Desert, Western Qi, Tanglin......
She played a dead end for Sun Qibu, and now it's time to really close the net.
"Shaoqing."
Hearing Xu Baizhi call himself, Shao Qing, who had been standing quietly behind him, bowed his head slightly.
Xu Baizhi picked up the letter on the case: "Send this letter to Miss Si ......"
After recuperating for so long, her body should have begun to improve, and this time should be said to be just right.
Or is it ......
She had already calculated the time of her illness, and it was indeed possible.
When Shao Qing was about to step out of the room, Xu Baizhi paused and stopped him again:
"Wait."
He walked to his bookshelf and handed Shao Qing the letter that recorded Sun Qi's actions some time ago:
"Send these to her too."

On the chessboard.
The square chessboard is separated by criss-crossing lines, and the black and white pieces are scattered like a huge and fine net.
A white letter settled.
Si Jichen looked up at Jun Mowen, who was sitting opposite.
This time, Jun Mowen just shook his head lightly, and did not fall again: "It seems that I can't compare to the chess skills of the dust." ”
He is holding a sunspot, and now the situation on the chessboard seems to have a glimmer of life, but in fact it is a dead end.
Rather than struggling, let's stop there.
At this moment, Shao Qing walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a stack of letters in his hands.
On weekdays, Xu Baizhi always sends letters from the border to her.
When there is less, I don't see a letter in January, but there are more...... It's only two a day.
How can there be so many today?
"Miss Si, the master asked me to send these over."
Si Jichen lowered his eyes and took the letters: "So many? ”
Shao Qing just shook his head very honestly: "The subordinates don't know, and the master didn't say much." With that, he bowed respectfully and turned away.
……
The messengers are gone.
That's up to her.
Open the one placed on the top, and look at the content inside, it is the news that Sun Qi is at the border recently, and Tanglin is really involved.
It's time to close the net, the time is just right, and her old illness has passed.
Thinking like this, she looked at the other letters in her hand, but found that these were not new news at all, but she had read them before, and a few more letters were flipped down, almost all of them were about Sun Qi's recent whereabouts.
Looking at Jun Mowen who was meditating on the other side, this was not the first time he had seen these letters.
But each time he didn't ask much.
Even if she comes to read books on weekdays, he will chat with her intentionally or unintentionally, just like playing chess with her today, just because he is afraid that she will be bored in the yard all the time.
Only when Shao Qing sent the letter, Jun Mowen didn't say a word.
He didn't want to force her, she knew.
Keep saying that it's not time, it's not time, in fact...... It's just that she wasn't prepared, she didn't trust him completely, she didn't believe that he would fully trust herself.
Now...... It's time too.
It's time to close the net, and it's time to tell him.
Raising her head, her clear and cold eyes looked at him, but there was a hint of warmth in them.
Jun Mowen naturally noticed her gaze, and he smiled faintly and asked, "What's wrong." ”
The contents of these letters ...... Are you curious? She asked.
"Naturally curious." Jun Mowen smiled and replied simply. In front of her, he would not tell lies, and since she asked, he told her honestly.
For his straightforward answer, Si Jichen only smiled back, and handed over the letters in his hand: "Then take it back and take a look." ”
Jun Mo was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't refuse.
Why let him take it back and look at it, he didn't ask.
Since she wanted him to take it back and see it......
Looking at the plain woman in white on the opposite side, he smiled warmly, and his tone was as gentle as usual: "Okay." ”
**********************************************************************************************************
Watch Jun Mowen leave.
Si Jichen looked at the top of the wall, and at some point, Si Jizhi was still sitting there, smiling and staring at Si Jichen below.
"Sit on it...... Isn't it cold? ”
Si Jizhi, who came down, patted his robe: "It's not cold, it's worth it to see this scene." ”
Si Jichen glanced at him: "It's not a good habit to always sit on top of someone else's courtyard wall. ”
"I don't hesitate to sit on the courtyard wall of other people, little junior sister, you should be honored." Si Jizhi said with a smile.
Looking at his smile, Si Jichen asked calmly, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Sijizhi took two steps forward and looked at her seriously: "You don't need to read that letter, just look at your performance, I know that I'm going to close the net, right?" ”
The tone of questioning is the tone of statement.
Si Jichen didn't speak, waiting for his next words.
Si Jizhi looked at her: "Do you have to do it yourself in the future?" ”
Now that the little junior sister has Jun Mowen by her side, she insists on going to the border by herself.
He didn't understand......
"Why?" Si Jizhi's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was a little puzzled.
"Because one of me is enough, as soon as Sun Qi falls, I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty will be in chaos for a while, and the court still needs Jun Mowen to preside."
"That's not really the reason." Si Jizhi blurted out.
Si Jichen was stunned and looked at Si Jizhi, his eyes were fixed on him at this time, as if he could see through her thoughts. Sure enough, the senior brother knows herself better than she imagined.
Lowering her eyes, she smiled softly, and her voice was shallow:
"What does it matter? The results are all the same. (To be continued.) )
