Chapter 176: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright

"Why are you here?" Coming out of Xiong Lie's big tent, he saw Yuan Jue who had been waiting outside, he looked a little lonely, in such a slightly chilly night, Yuan Jue's body seemed to be soaked in ice water, which made people pity because of that thinness. I gathered my mood and tried to smile, "Why don't you say it." ”

Yuan Jue's eyes have always fallen on me, he is wearing a slightly thin coarse cloth white regular clothes, one hand behind his back, slightly open neckline, revealing a long scar on his shoulder blade, which is the scar left by him when he led his troops to fight the enemy in the cold city before.

"You're done talking to Xiong Lie?" He asked me.

I nodded, "We're done." ”

"Come on." Yuan Jue raised his other hand, which hung down at his side, and came to me.

I took two quick steps forward and took his hand. There was a warm smile between the coldness on Yuan Jue's face, he pulled me and walked towards the way back, his palms were slightly cold, and the coldness of the night made him helpless.

"You know what?" As I walked, I turned my head sideways and said to him, "Actually, just now, when I went to talk to Xiong Lie about Lady Aster's death, I saw Xiong Lie secretly drop Mrs. Aster's ashes, and the white jade jar was placed in his big tent......"

"Really?" Yuan Jue seemed to respond casually, he looked directly at the road ahead, "Perhaps, he is not willing to send Mrs. Aster back." ”

Yes, when I first saw the white jade jar, I was surprised. When I saw the sadness in Xiong Lie's eyes, I was shocked, and the sadness was so thick that it almost made him completely collapse.

I turned my head sideways to look at Yuan Jue and said, "But I still sued him, I sued him, Mrs. Ziyun is the fact that Ziyuan is Ziyuan, and I also sue him, Ziyuan has a person who can't let go of it in his heart until death." ”

"Maybe he didn't want to know this, but he had to know." Yuan Jue was surprisingly bland, as if anything I told him about Xiong Lie could not affect his feelings.

"Will you continue to investigate?" Regarding the secret that Ziyuan must keep even if he dies, I want to know if the truth will be revealed one day.

"That person is a hidden danger in the army, I hope that Mrs. Aster's death will make him wake up a little, stop it in time, and don't live up to Mrs. Aster's wishes." Yuan Jue sighed lightly.

Perhaps, but would he really do that? "However, Ziyuan told me before his death that that person was doing things for Xiong Lie and relayed the news between Xiong Lie and Gao Yong. She had seen it before, that mysterious person went to see Gao Yong, since Ziyuan is no longer here, what chance do you think Gao Yong will tell his identity? ”

"Gao Yong would never have done that." Yuan Jue said with certainty, "If that mysterious person and Gao Yong are both doing things for Xiong Lie." Xiong Lie must also know who this person is, and the reason why he tracked down with us before, I suspect that he may have thought that the real Ziyuan had gone with that person, and wanted to find Ziyuan in the name of finding out the inner ghost. But he probably never thought that it was his rash behavior that killed Ziyuan. ”

Indeed, Xiong Lie didn't know that Mrs. Aster was Ziyuan, and he still remembered that **** persuaded me in this camp and asked me to understand Yuan Jue's feelings, I am afraid that at that time, he was already ready to abandon the pawn and protect the car.

Xiong Lie should have planned to cooperate with Yuan Jue sincerely, and the pawn he gave up was the inner ghost under Yuan Jue, who wanted to prove his determination. But he couldn't let go of that mysterious person, maybe that person was very important to him, but how much of this so-called vital matter was because of Ziyuan, I don't know. But since there is no Xiong Lie's inner ghost among Yuan Jue's people at the moment, Xiong Lie is truly allied, but there is still a chance of cooperation.

"There's one thing I've never figured out, though." I voiced my doubts.

"You mean Xiong Lie's attitude towards Lady Aster." Yuan Jue said what I doubted.

"Do you know something?" I saw that he looked at it and guessed what he knew. "Did Xiong Lie tell you something? At that time, he asked me to see Ziyuan, what did you talk about? ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jue listened to my words, and finally turned his head, and after looking at me for a moment, his lips pulled up and smiled dotingly, "Naturally, he won't tell me this, it's just my guess." Ziyun is Ziyuan's sister, according to common sense, Xiong Lie will never be so mean to her, and the real Ziyun suddenly fell ill before the wedding, which is indeed a little incomprehensible. ”

"You shouldn't be suspecting that there is something wrong with Ziyun's death?" I was woken up by Yuan Jue's words.

Yuan Jue just glanced at me, raised his hand and touched my head, smiled without saying a word, and did not continue to talk about this topic.

Sure enough, since he was suspicious, the matter should not be simple.

If Zi Yun's death was really arranged by Xiong Lie, then Xiong Lie should know what he had done, on the day of the wedding, he didn't expect "Zi Yun" to still get married, which made Xiong Lie start to doubt, knowing that his heart was empty, but he felt that it was not impossible, so Xiong Lie had such an attitude towards Mrs. Zi Yuan, "It turns out that Xiong Lie has been suspecting for a long time, Mrs. Zi Yu is Zi Yuan." ”

Wouldn't what I told him tonight confirm what he had been guessing for so many years? What kind of mentality does Xiong Lie have towards the Ziyuan sisters, does he really love Ziyuan? Or is it just looking for Ziyuan after always wanting to verify it?

But no matter what, this "farce" ended in tragedy after all.

"Second son." Vice General Qiao caught up and bowed, as if he had something to say, but he looked at me and didn't continue, intending to imply that Yuan Jue was inconvenient to know me.

"Say it." Yuan Jue didn't intend to let me go first, and his hand didn't let go of me for a moment.

Vice General Qiao was embarrassed, but he still lowered his head and replied, "Gao Yong committed suicide." ”

Gao Yong committed suicide.

After learning that Ziyuan died, Gao Yong would have such a move, which was not very surprising. I'm just curious about how humbly he once fell in love with Azusa, and if Azusa really didn't have a moment when she wasn't impressed by him? It's just that now that they're all dead, there's no need to pursue the matter. It's a pity that Gao Yong, whether he became Xiong Lie's inner ghost because of Ziyun is unknown, but what we already know is that he was willing to die for Ziyun's sister Ziyuan. Now after learning that Ziyuan is dead, he probably embarks on the road to Huangquan as if he has completed his mission.

"Send Gao Yong's body back to Gao's family and inform them that Gao Yong died in battle on the battlefield and should be buried." Yuan Jue's eyebrows frowned slightly, he just gave such an answer after a pause, and Vice General Qiao lowered his head and didn't move as if he guessed that he hadn't finished speaking. Yuan Jue sighed and said, "You can do it yourself." ”

"Yes." Vice Admiral Qiao responded, and then bowed and retreated.

Yuan Jue stood silently in place, his eyes cloudy.

I guess he remembered the battle in Cold City, he used to live and die together, but he didn't expect to end up with people.

"Things here are over for the time being, I'm afraid I'm going to leave for a while in the next few days." I interrupted him to continue thinking about it, and said what I had planned the previous two days.

Yuan Jue looked at me puzzled.

"I have something to do. What's more, now that you have formed an alliance and the matter of the inner demons is over, isn't the next thing to attack in a big way, you have more important things to do. If I am in the army, I am afraid that it will affect you. Seeing that he was a little lost, I smiled and said, "Why don't you wait for your army to triumph, and I will wait for you in the city?" ”

Yuan Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer intended to try to persuade me to change my mind. "Do you want to leave tomorrow?"

"Yes." If it weren't for the delay in Ziyuan's affairs, I'm afraid I would have left early in the morning. At the moment, Yun Chu's matter is even more important, I must stop Yuan He from harming Yun Chu before Yuan Jue gets the news, but in the past few days, I have never been able to figure out what Yun Chu has to explain to me.

"Then be careful on your way." Yuan Jue was not very relieved, and instructed, "It's fine no matter where you are, but don't let me lose your news, and bring me at least one message wherever you go." ”

"Okay." I said yes, shaking the bell on my ankle. It can be seen that he still has a sad face, and I took out two leaves from behind me and handed them to him.

Although Yuan Jue took a piece, he didn't understand what I meant. I pinched one and put it to my lips and sipped it lightly, the breath made a pleasant sound with the fluttering of the leaves, Yuan Jue pinched the leaves and frowned with a smile, after I hinted at him a few times, he reluctantly put the leaves to his lips and blew, but there was no sound.

I laughed at him, I didn't expect Yuan Jue to try again, tried a few times, and he finally learned, but he blew the leaves to make a few sounds.

It was still dark in the camp, Jialan stood outside my tent, I packed up and walked out of the tent, I didn't expect her to look me up and down, and opened her mouth first, "You are talking, I didn't expect you to be able to finish everything before today's dawn." ”

"Not yet." I thought she was talking a lot of nonsense, and that day Jialan broke in recklessly and told me that everything I had arranged for her was here, which meant today's events. I asked her to prepare her horses outside the camp so that we could leave before everyone woke up.

We walked like this towards the place where we left the camp.

Jialan suddenly asked, "Why don't you say goodbye to him?" ”

The person she said was undoubtedly Yuan Jue, and it was indeed inappropriate for us to leave without saying goodbye to Yuan Jue at the moment. But I stopped unconsciously, thinking that I had already said it last night, and if he came into my tent today and saw that I was not there, he should have understood.

But why do I feel empty now?

"I'm not going." I said, I don't know how to sue him to his face, I'm going to leave now. If he asks, I don't guarantee that I won't tell Yun Chu about it, since I have to go, and I can't say goodbye to him, I'm afraid it's best now. "If you deal with it earlier, you can come back sooner, and you don't need to say goodbye."

Jialan snorted coldly, as if she was laughing.

But every step I took towards the camp became heavier and heavier, and the guards guarding the gate of the camp were quite strange to see that I was strange.

It's okay, I'll just come back early when I'm done. I thought so, and before I could stretch out my feet, I heard a voice from inside the camp...... When the guards heard this, they looked around strangely.

I listened quietly.

"What is this?" Jialan thought it was strange.

I know, he knows I'm leaving. I taught him last night, I didn't expect him to learn so quickly, and he also understood my intention not to say goodbye to him, and I was afraid that I would be worried about blowing the leaves, but I still looked back, even if I couldn't see him. When he turned around, he was much more relaxed, "Let's go." ”

Jialan and I galloped on horseback, and after noon, we ate something and went on.

After running wildly for two days, I finally arrived at Mucheng. I was so tired that I had to stop and lead the horse slowly.

"You're too weak now, aren't you?" Jialan still didn't forget to mock me.

I ignored her, but while she was still holding my grudge, there was a tea stall not far in front of me, I walked over, handed the horse to the little man on the stall, and then sat down at the table, and Jia Lan pouted, and sat down with me.

At the two tables in front of us, there were several men, a square table, one of whom was sitting facing the path outside the tea stall, one at each of the four tables, and the others did not sit opposite him, but stood around the man.

Someone asked, "Master Liu, is the cold city really so miserable?" ”

The man sitting there shook his head, stroked his long beard and pretended, and after hearing this for a while, he replied unhurriedly, "No, there are corpses everywhere, and there are white bones everywhere." The old man has lived for so long, and he has never seen such a tragic scene, it is really purgatory on earth. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately set off a discussion, and the man continued to sit proudly.

Someone else approached him, "Didn't you say that the second son's soldiers were sent there?" Has Liu Ye seen the second son? ”

Unexpectedly, he raised his eyebrows, and quickly made a look of regret, "Hey...... Not to mention, the Yibu soldiers surrounded the cold city, attacked on a large scale, and slaughtered on a large scale, which is a miserable one...... Presumably the second son...... Hey......"

The more I listened to it, the more uncomfortable it became, he was talking so nonsense, and there were people around who echoed it, it was really unbearable.

But if I get up at this time, I'm afraid I will leak Yuan Jue's whereabouts again, and I will endure it again and again.

Jialan sat on the sidelines, quietly watching my reaction, and then heard the other side continue to pretend, and she suddenly slapped the table and stood up. He walked towards the men. "That's true, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"This ......" the man was speechless when he was asked. In front of the people who were still listening to his praise and strange talk just now, they couldn't get off the stage for a while, so they could only hold on and shout, "The old man dares to say this, naturally he has seen it with his own eyes." ”

"Oh? Since you have seen the Yibu soldiers surround Hancheng with your own eyes, and what happened to the second son, not only did they not kill you, but they also released you, right? Jialan's words were powerful, and he really couldn't hold on.

The man rose up, furious, and walked away in full view of everyone. "Unreasonable." (To be continued.) )
