"Living in the palace is different from living in the mountains, but there are some places that are the same, that is, in order to survive, you always have to avoid some people who are stronger and more fierce than yourself." Yuan Jue explained, his eyes were like bottomless nights, as if he was afraid that I wouldn't understand, he was silent for a while, and then said, "It's just that you live more easily in the mountains and wilderness, and people's minds are deeper than beasts." ”

"Oh......" Sure enough, I didn't understand.

Yuan Jue seemed to realize what I was thinking, and slowly moved his gaze to me, for some reason he looked at me for a long time this time, he looked at my eyes, like looking at a person he especially didn't want to be hurt, like looking at a person he hoped would never be affected by this qiē, "The women in the royal city, they regard whether they can get the king's favor more important than their lives, and in order to obtain the king's favor, they can do whatever it takes to get rid of dissidents by any means." It's like what you see when you see Mrs. Ruyi, what you see is that she was assassinated, but in fact, was she really hurt? If not, then take this opportunity to regain the king's favor, what is the loss? ”

"You mean......" At this time, I vaguely understood what he meant, but I didn't understand even more, "Was Mrs. Ruyi's assassination arranged by herself in order to regain the king's favor?" ”

Yuan Jue lowered his head slightly, looked at the hand holding me, and his smile was slightly bitter, "Since you have doubts, and ask me about the clothes of Master Nan and Mrs. Ruyi's palace manager, I'm afraid that before you see the chief manager, you will suspect that the assassin is him." And what you doubt. Wasn't it Mrs. Ruyi who arranged for the manager to pretend to be an assassin and assassinate her? If that's the case, you don't think it's too hard to be embarrassed, your instincts aren't right, it's just too simple to believe it's true. If you tell him about it, he will understand the conspiracy. ”

It turned out that this qiē was just a conspiracy. I silently lowered my head, feeling a little sad in my heart.

"Neon." Yuan Jue called my name, "Don't be sad. The women of the royal palace. It was meant to be. ”

A woman in the palace? I looked up at him again, and the complex relationship between human beings, I really didn't understand, "Why?" Two people together. It's not because they like each other. It's because they can use each other? ”

Yuan Jue was stunned.

"I don't understand. If Wang likes Mrs. Ruyi, why did he marry Mrs. Qimo? If you really think about Mrs. Qimo, why is it because of Mrs. Ruyi...... and spoiled her again. Even if it is Mrs. Ruyi's conspiracy, whether it is that she is competing for favor with Mrs. Qimo, what is the king's intention? Who does he really like? Why make both women so pitiful...... "Who is he in love with?" Why is the king's heart so hard to guess? but harmed the lives of two women.

"Niyin, the king will not have sincerity, he can sit in such a position, how can he have sincerity?" Yuan Jue is a little different from the first time I saw him, I can't tell clearly, but I only feel that he seems to have something, and he is changing.

"Then you, why do you still ......" Yuan Jue wanted to sit in that position, will one day make him become like this and lose his original sincerity? Is it worth exchanging ambition for sincerity and surviving in harm for a lifetime?

Yuan Jue understood what I was talking about, but was silent.

He just looked at me, but he couldn't give me an answer.

It turned out that he already knew that it would be like this, but he still wanted to do it, and ambition and ** were more important to him than sincerity.

I get it......

I see, I really get it...... It's very sad, even before this moment, I already knew very well that his future has nothing to do with me, but it was not until this moment that he acquiesced, and I really knew that the reason why we could be separated was not just the limited lifespan I cared about, but also that he was willing to give up his sincerity to exchange for the kingship of the world.

Originally......

"Neon." Yuan Jue sighed, he called me, but he didn't say anything.

"If I stay with you, one day, will you also make me such a poor woman?" Some disappointed, some sad.

"It's not early, let's go back." Yuan Jue didn't answer me, or he didn't know how to answer me at all.

Sure enough, there is no way to stay in the world. It's better to leave early, and when I don't like it so much, when Phoenix comes back, I'll go back to Shaoshan. Just like the original, live quietly, practice, and then maybe after forty years, you can try again if you can enter the heavenly feast.

I smiled, relieved, and relieved. It wasn't my life that I should have bothered in the first place, I just made the decision that it should have been.

Yuan Jue looked at me, but his expression was even deeper, I couldn't help refusing, he led me and walked out of the village.

He seemed to be angry, and I don't understand why he was angry again, because he had just seen me laugh. Or maybe he thinks I don't care about his answer, but his mind is too deep to guess, and I really don't understand.

"Help...... Help......"

I stopped and listened, there was really someone calling for help, the voice seemed to be wheezing unevenly, and it should be running and calling for help. Yuan Jue also heard this voice, but after a while, he didn't react, and pulled me to continue walking.

"Someone is shouting for help!" I grabbed him and stopped again.

"I know, but it's probably not our business." Yuan Jue said without changing his face.

"How can this be, where is it necessary to save people? If everyone thinks like this, won't anyone want to save people? "If everyone dies and does not save them, then there is no hope for those who shout for help.

Yuan Jue didn't seem to be able to resist me, so he finally compromised, "Okay, don't make trouble, let's go and see." ”

"Help! Help me...... Someone help me......" The voice grew closer, like a woman's voice.

"She's coming." I listened carefully, trying to sense the surrounding qiē, trying to know what made her scream so screaming for her life, I heard the footsteps of another person behind her footsteps, yes, it was a person! It seems that it is a person who is chasing her this way!

"Help me!" Just thinking about it. She had already run in front of us, and before she could run to us, suddenly there was a stirring under her feet, and a heel fell in front of my eyes, she looked too weak and too weak, I couldn't stop Yuan Jue, I stepped forward to help her, she hugged my leg and shouted in shock, "Girl, girl, help me......"

I didn't see it clearly. At this moment she raised her head and asked me for help. I could see her face clearly.

"It's you?!" I was shocked, I didn't expect to meet her again at this time, in this situation.

"You're ......" she obviously recognized me, but before she could say anything. The man chasing her behind her had arrived.

He was a very strong young man. Thirty or forty looks. Between his eyebrows and eyes, he looked fierce and mighty, and he was dressed in an earthy yellow loose robe, which was relatively untidy. But as if it was so casual, holding a scimitar in his hand.

When he caught up in front of him, he stopped, looked at me who was supporting her, and then looked at Yuan Jue behind me.

"This brother." Yuan Jue took two steps forward and blocked between us. "I don't know why Brother Tai is chasing a weak woman?"

"Weak woman?!" The man listened to Yuan Jue's words, and suddenly laughed, "You kid, don't let the monster blindfold, where is this weak woman?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, I immediately lowered my head to look at her in a cold sweat, she bit her lip and didn't say a word, and she looked overly frightened. In this case, there is no mistake, this person who is chasing her must know her identity and come to hunt her down.

There is only one kind of person in the world who can hunt down goblins, but I have heard the phoenix say that it seems to be a family heirloom hunter, hunting monsters. I heard that they only need to look at it to know whether it is a human or a demon in front of them.

Before Shaoshan was burned and forced to leave Shaoshan, I had never seen such a person. I also once wondered if what the phoenix said was scaring me, but yesterday I saw a person who could see that we were different at a glance, that is, in Master Nan's dream, when Mrs. Ruyi was suddenly seen through by her, I was as shocked as now.

Even though I have more than 200 years of practice, I am not as good as a person who has lived only a few decades.

By the way, I suddenly thought that Mrs. Ruyi said, "My family's surname is Gong, our family has practiced for generations, my mother passed away early, my father thought I was a girl, so he passed me on to my aunt who was doing small business in the city, and my father took my brother to wander around." Although I am not as advanced as them, the bloodline of the Gong family is destined, and it is not difficult to see it. ”

Palace? By the way, maybe ......, "May I ask if this uncle is surnamed Gong?" ”

"You monster, what the hell are you doing!" He seemed a little upset at my sudden question, and it seemed that I might have guessed correctly, but his rebuke was too fierce.

Startled by the man's voice, she hurried behind me, clutching at my shirt and shivering.

"Brother Tai, bullying a weak woman is not the husband's doing." Yuan Jue spoke silently, looking at the person in front of him with a fierce and vicious look, and he didn't mean to retreat half a step, just now he was still full of reluctance to cause this wrong, but now in front of us, there is no malice in this person.

"Weak woman? They weren't weak women. The man laughed again, his tone was half sarcastic and half helpless, as if he was laughing at Yuan Jue's ignorance.

Speaking of which, his hint was already too obvious, even if Yuan Jue didn't react just now because he didn't know the inside story, but when he heard this, he should be more or less alert. However, Yuan Jue just looked sideways, as if he was looking over, I only saw his side face, but he turned his head away from us with a slight smile.

I heard Yuan Jue say, "Brother Tai's words are a little too much. Even though my wife is a little naughty, she is not as she says, to me she is just a weak woman. Don't hurt people anymore. ”

Madam?! What is Yuan Jue talking about!

"You young man is really impatient, aren't you, you married a monster as a wife, how many lives do you have!" When the man heard this, he suddenly lost his patience and scolded! His gaze crossed Yuan Jue and looked at me, very fierce, as if he had made up his mind at this moment to kill me.

"If your surname is Gong, have you ever had a sister?!" I was afraid that he would hurt Yuan Jue, and before their conflict became more intense, I suddenly shouted this out.

Sure enough, when he heard my words, he was stunned. He asked, "Why do you know?" ”

"I've seen her!" I say.

I couldn't see Yuan Jue's expression, but I could feel that he was also a little confused. I didn't care about anything else, and continued, "I have met your sister, and I know that you were forced to separate when you were young, and she grew up with your aunt......"

"Stop deceiving!" I didn't expect him to react more violently at the moment, and he shouted violently.

Although I was a little frightened, I swallowed and foamed at the mouth and continued, "It's because your family has been practicing for generations, and your father disliked her for being a woman, so he handed her over to someone who was doing business in the city, your aunt, right? Later, she entered the palace and became the king's favored Mrs. Ruyi! ”

Yuan Jue turned his head, his eyes as if he was asking me.

"He is Mrs. Ruyi's brother." I said to Yuan Jue, "Mrs. Ruyi is Yuan He's mother, so he should be Yuan He's uncle." ”

Yuan Jue seemed to understand.

"You ......" The man seemed to want to ask something, and just as he wanted to step forward, he was blocked by Yuan Jue.

But the person who followed us, who was taking care of Master Nan's affairs just now, also rushed over at this time. The great movement behind him alarmed the people who were present immediately, and the person obviously felt it, and he understood that it was inconvenient to ask at this time, he glanced at Yuan Jue, and then looked at us, his eyes changed a little, but he was still full of murderous aura, "It seems that there is no way to do it today, in a few days, I will naturally come to you." ”

With that, he turned and ran into the woods.

Yuan Jue watched him leave, turned around, and walked to us.

When I saw his reaction, I knew what he wanted to ask me, "Don't chase him, although I know his identity, I don't know what he is capable of, and it may not be someone we can deal with." ”

Yuan Jue nodded.

"Thank you." The person who was hiding behind me just now came out from behind me when he saw that the person had left.

After thanking her, she had no intention of leaving directly, perhaps because she was worried that the person was still nearby. Yuan Jue's guards followed, and when they saw us talking, they waited aside, she looked around, and made sure that those people didn't mean to come, and they couldn't hear us, so they said with confidence, "Why are you here, Feng ...... What about your good sisters? ”

That's right, it was her. "Don't ask so much, how did you end up in such a situation now? You ......"

"My name is Jialan." She said, "For many years, the people in my family have long since died and scattered. ”

She said that her current name is Jialan, and that when humans went into the mountains to kill, they left Shaoshan with a large wave of animals. At that time, she was just a lark not long after she was born, and left Shaoshan with her parents and siblings. I haven't seen her for many years, and when I saw her just now, although I saw it at a glance, I didn't dare to recognize her, but I didn't expect that she also had some Taoism that could transform into a human appearance.

"My name is Niyin." Now, we all have names.

"Can you do me another favor?" She pleaded with some embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
