"Something?" Shen Yi interrupted my train of thought and asked with a smile.

I shook my head, but in fact, it was not convincing at all, I could clearly feel that my reaction was slow, and I didn't even listen to what she said to Huo Yu just now.

"What's wrong? The case is already over, and I am worried," Huo Yu did not continue directly, "It's okay now, why do you still have this expression." This case can have a result so quickly, can it be said that the county lord of Zhaohua is deeply hidden? ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with me this time." I had to retract my thoughts and turn my attention back, but I was telling the truth, "This time it's almost all you, and it just so happens that we are lucky enough to string together the fragmented details to get the result, and I didn't do anything at all." ”

Huo Yu seemed to endure a lot of questions, he smiled and asked tentatively, "Perhaps, I think you are deliberately avoiding, deliberately not wanting to take the initiative to investigate, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, what is it that can make you willing to die, you seem to be deliberately suppressing, always throwing a question out for others to do, and then admitting that you are stupid." What exactly are you afraid of? ”

I was a little dazed, and I only realized this problem when I heard him say this, as if I was really deliberately suppressing an outburst of emotion, avoiding the question of whether I could or could not.

"Every forbearance, most of them hide a conspiracy. Ayin, what is your forbearance for? Even Shen Yi seemed to see something.

Forbear?

Am I forbearing? Perhaps, but I never realized it myself, I just knew, suppressed, repressed.

I responded with a smile and shook my head. "More is better than less, I just want to be stable."

"So what can make you completely explode and fully return to what you should be?" Shen Yi got up and poured wine, and joked with a smile. "You two, one look, I don't know and think you two are"

Halfway through the words, Shen Yi's face froze, she subconsciously looked at Huo Yu, Huo Yu happened to look at her too, and exchanged glances after a pair of glances, Huo Yu obviously understood what Shen Yi was going to say just now, but both of them buried the words in their hearts, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Thought the two of us were? What is it? She was trying to say, did she think the two of us were related? Husband and wife? **？ Shen Yi put Huo Yu so deeply in his heart, how could he make such a joke? However, looking at their pretending to be ordinary but all of them are stiff expressions now, I am really suspicious. "What's the matter, you two, but the two of you, is there something else to hide from me?"

Shen Yi smiled helplessly, Huo Yu drank all the wine in the cup, and Shen Yi said, "You drink less, wait until you go back drunk, the old lady should punish you again." ”

Old lady.

Regarding the old lady of the Huo family, it is really rare to hear people mention it, Huo Yu didn't seem to have any change when he heard the three words of the old lady, but his expression froze in the last moment, just maintaining the smile on the surface, and his eyes were empty and seemed to be deliberately suppressing his feelings.

"I'm fine." Huo Yu smiled with relief, as if he was comforting Shen Yi.

The moment their eyes met, I inadvertently noticed that their eyes were the same, and their smiles were the same. It seemed that it was a silent exchange, as if Huo Yu was telling Shen Yi, it didn't matter. Shen Yi responded with a smile, then he was relieved. There was no superfluous communication between them, maybe just for a moment, there was enough communication between them, I don't know, it was an eternity.

I have to admit that Shen Yi is probably the only person in this world who is worthy of Huo Yu.

In front of the two of them, I was a little ashamed of myself.

The moment they looked at each other, I felt as if I had been directly ignored.

"I'll go get it ready, and there's some side dishes." Shen Yi said calmly, her smile was always shallow on her face, and it was just like that delicate and beautiful face to become a beautiful picture with simple colors and exquisite painting.

"Okay." On Huo Yu's face, there was the same smile as her, I could only see the affection in that smile, and it was estimated that the words hidden in that smile were passwords that only the two of them could read.

After getting Huo Yu's response, Shen Yi exited the room.

I'm envious, at least for this moment. I envy the love that Shen Yi received, which I used to crave from another person. But I clearly know that there are problems between Huo Yu and Shen Yi, as well as my problems, and everyone is avoiding the final result.

"What is it that keeps you running away? What exactly are you afraid to face? After Shen Yi left the room, Huo Yu suddenly asked.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

"In the past, my father often talked about the affairs of the county lord of Zhaohua, led the troops to resist the invasion of Beishao, and did not let the eyebrows of the battle to the death, and the momentum of the desperate fight was like a rainbow, when he described you, he always praised your character, atmospheric, fearless, and public, he said that you were very domineering at that time." Huo Yu looked a little confused, he put away the smile just now, he seemed to be a little obsessed with the answer this time.

"Sometimes, there are no answers to many questions," I may have destroyed Huo Yu's imagination of the old general's description in the past, but I am powerless to explain those things that should be called grievances, "Perhaps, there were answers, but with the passage of time, people will also grow, and if there is an answer, there will be no answer, because people's experience will make the answer less important, even if it was once important, but when you grow up and mature, you will find that the once tangled qiē is just a childish farce." No matter how much you dwell on the experience in this farce, it will be treated as a joke. ”

Huo Yu paused for a moment, as if he had woken up and understood.

Huo Yu let out a long sigh, his fingers pointed at the tabletop, making a knocking sound, and the room was silent.

I don't remember how much we drank on this day, my answer, Huo Yu understands, and that is also clear to him. The glory of birth becomes our last resort, and we all know the misfortune that we will face in the end.

This qiē is something we can't change.

Rights have become the shackles of fate.

And we, all prisoners who can't do anything.

"Then I'll leave first, and send him back to Huo Mansion by the way." Huo Yu drank a lot, and I was a little dazed, so I got up and said goodbye, planning to take Huo Yu away together.

When Shen Yi heard this, he looked at Huo Yu sharply and got up to help him. "No need, let him take a nap here for a while, and it's not too late to go back when he wakes up, so that the old lady won't punish him again for his appearance."

I just stretched out my hand, and I couldn't help but withdraw it. "That's fine. Need my help? ”

"No need." Shen Yi almost didn't even think about it, and directly refused, and after saying it, she seemed to hesitate a little before explaining. "The county lord's daughter, how dare you bother, the county lord should go back and rest first, and I'll do the rest."

It seems reasonable, but I can't help but wonder. Shen Yi seems to be afraid that I will approach Huo Yu while he is drunk, and this is not like because of a woman's jealousy, although her explanation sounds reasonable, but we are now relatively familiar with each other, her rejection of my expression for thousands of miles makes me even more suspicious, what is she hiding for? Obviously, the problem she wants to cover up appears on Huo Yu, usually when Huo Yu is sober, she rarely has physical contact with Huo Yu, and Huo Yu is drunk, she seems to be afraid that I will find something when I get close to Huo Yu, protect Huo Yu, and don't let me have a chance to get close to Huo Yu.

What exactly is she trying to hide? What Huo Yu has is something I don't know.

But the matter has come to this, she has already made up her mind to protect Huo Yu, and I have to give up. "Okay, then I'll go back first, you have to take good care of him, if anything happens, go to King Ning's Mansion to find me."

What exactly does Shen Yi want to hide? Does Huo Yu have secrets that he can take with him, and can he be discovered at any time?

I walked out of the Bright Moon Tower with doubts. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he met Huangfu Xuan.

He stood there and watched me come out, looking down and smiling, and the meaning of that smile was much richer. Seeing that I saw him smiling and didn't know what to do, he raised his head and signaled, I followed his gaze, it was the signboard of Mingyue Tower, and suddenly I understood what he was laughing at.

"The lord of the county is also here for recreation? I have long heard that Mingyue Tower is famous, and even the county lord has attracted it. Huangfu Xuan turned to the side and whispered something to the people behind him, and the four or five people behind him bowed their heads and walked around us.

"Mingyue Tower, is a famous song and dance workshop in my East Fu Leyao City, and the monarch of Nancheng is my guest in Dongfu, since I am going to Mingyue Tower for recreation, don't delay my mood because of me." I have doubts in my stomach right now, I just want to avoid this evil star, the last time I lost my temper in front of him and cried wolf bèi, I still remember, it is indeed a little unbearable.

"It doesn't matter." When Huangfu Xuan saw that I was leaving, he stretched out his hand to block my way, and one arm was just across in front of me, and he seemed to be playing tricks on me, "I was bored, and the envoy who was waiting for guests came here with yì, it turned out to be a song and dance workshop." But there is new fun in front of me, and what Mingyue Tower is going to. ”

There was something provocative in his words, and I was just about to open my mouth to argue with him, but I was shocked that the wine in my mouth was still strong, so I immediately shut up and bowed my head to avoid him leaving.

He turned around and blocked my way again. Pointing to my mouth, he smiled evilly and nodded, as if he had found something. "You're drinking?"

For the sake of face, I felt like I was caught at the scene, so I had to stretch out my hand and half-cover my mouth, "So what." ”

So what. This is really unsubstantial.

In the middle of the night, the lord of Zhaohua County dressed up as a man and actually learned to go to the song and dance workshop, and drank a mouth full of wine. It's really appalling enough to say. My face couldn't help but be blue and red for a while, and I couldn't hold it anymore. "What do you want."

He shrugged.

Are you taking the shelf? Or Huang Fuxuan seems to be neutral and generous, but this is really uncertain, whether he wants to blackmail me, or is it really like his attitude at the moment, it doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter? I tested the change in his expression, but there was nothing unusual at all, and I walked straight forward.

"What if someone else knew?"

What if someone else knew?! I instantly felt like I had been tricked, and I turned around to see him standing there with a smile on his face, looking like he was waiting to see a good show. With his heart crossed and his eyes closed, a stride rushed up and grabbed him by the collar. "Say it again."

He spread out his hands, half raised them to his left and right, and he looked unaware, "This is, Dongfu's hospitality?" ”

I had to let go. With a sigh of relief, the temper just now was gone. "If you're here for what you said before, then all I can say now is that you did move me, and I'm still thinking about it, but I can't give you an answer right now."

"What's wrong?" Hearing me say this, Huangfu Xuan was not the kind of pride I expected, he did convince me, but I hesitated between the choice of fate, I couldn't let go, and I didn't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life, but he was curious why I wavered. "You're trying to compromise?"

I waved my hand, which was an answer. Bypass him and keep walking.

Compromise or not, I end up losing.

Huo Yu asked me what made me what I am now.

I know, but I can't change it.

I don't want to watch Dongfu get swallowed up without a struggle.

At least, Dongfu shouldn't have been destroyed in my hands.

"Why are you still here?" After walking all the way, I slowly felt tired, and I didn't even know where I was going, and I was looking around to find out where I was now, only to realize that Huangfu Xuan was standing not far from me, looking at me with his hands behind his back.

"I want to see when you find out, at first I thought it was funny, but then I realized that you hadn't noticed it all along, and I started to worry a little that if you met an assassin like this, wouldn't you have no reaction at all." Huangfu Xuan walked over, it was very dark, and he couldn't see his expression when he said this.

"Are you doing good kung fu? I heard that the Nancheng people are not good at fighting, and the Huangfu family are all literati, and you didn't bring anyone, so you really met an assassin, and you don't know who saved whom. "I've thought a lot about this journey, some things have been figured out, some things have not been figured out, but my heart has been much purer and calmer along the way.

"If you and I don't have a marriage contract between our fathers, will we become friends?" He was standing in front of me, but he turned his head to look to the side.

"Yes." I responded, I will, "However, Dongfu is about to die, borrowing troops from Nancheng, but you let me wait in your Nancheng Palace for three days without showing up, and the friendship will come to an end." ”

Huangfu Xuan suddenly laughed. He was afraid that he couldn't think of my answer even if he wanted to, "Sure enough, you are still angry with me because of this." ”

Really? I was angry because of this, "Maybe, it's false to say that you're not angry at all, intellectually I understand that what you did is right, but in fact, my anger may not be your business, Dongfu is opposite Beishao, after experiencing two palace changes, the difference in strength is too big, I was bent on revenge, I ran into walls everywhere, and I had to despair when I saw that Dongfu was losing strength in a battle. ”

But now? Now, Dongfu still doesn't have the strength to fight against Beishao, even if he fights again, who will help Dongfu, "You go back, today is the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Wei, and if the monarch of Nancheng is absent, I am afraid it will not look good." ”

After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, there are still too many things to deal with.

"After today, I'm about to leave Dongfu." Huangfu Xuan's words had a sense of farewell, and there seemed to be some reluctance, but I wasn't sure if it was true, or if I felt wrong.

"Hmm." I nodded. There are a lot of things that I have decided, and maybe after tomorrow, we will never see each other again in this life. When we meet again, it's impossible to tell whether it's friend or foe. But after I shook my head for a while, I found that Huangfu Xuan was standing still and did not move, I don't know how long I had been in deep thought, but when I looked up, I saw that he was still looking at me, as if he had not finished speaking. "How?"

He sneered, and reached out to pluck one of the hairpins from my bun, and the hair, which was tied up by a hairpin, fell out with a bang.

"What are you doing?" I reacted slowly, and when I reached out to grab it, he was already in my sleeve, and I looked like a wolf with my hair scattered, holding my hair in a bun with one hand and trying to get the hairpin back with the other. "What are you doing with my hairpin?"

"I'm going back." He turned and left, leaving me where I was, stamping my feet in anger. "Get a good night's sleep."
