I never thought that there would be emotional entanglements with Liu Ye.

Everyone has different choices in their lives, and each choice leads to a different path.

And I, in the future, have a deep understanding of this truth.

Liu Ye stood up, his eyes were blazing, like a night pearl in the dark night, and he whispered something that I couldn't calm down for a long time: "Mu'er, I know the people behind the destruction of the General's Mansion back then. ”

I was shaking all over my body, my anger made my blood flow backwards, my whole body was cold, and I asked, "Who is it?" ”

But he did not answer, and said, "When you return to the Northern Underworld, I will inform you of the people behind you, and at that time, I will help you take revenge." ”

"Liu Ye, I can't see through you, three years ago you said that my general's mansion was worthy of you, why do you want to help me take revenge three years later?"

"Because, I have a crush on you."

I laughed, laughed sarcastically, and said: "I don't believe you, it's you, it's you who killed Biqiao, it's also you, tell me that something happened to the General's Mansion, and if I want me to believe that the General's Mansion was destroyed without your participation, I will never believe it." ”

"Whether you believe it or not, you just have to tell me your choice. Oh, what I didn't say is that in just three years since you left, I have been in the North Underworld, and I have become an official and a master. ”

I made a choice.

I said: "I will go back and inform them about the alliance with Yueqiu, and the decision is up to them, not me." As for your help in my revenge, I believe that your starting point is not simple, but whatever your purpose is, the 'person behind you' is very tempting to me, two years, two years from now I will return to the North Underworld, and when the time comes, I hope you will remember what you said today. ”

He smiled, satisfied, and said, "Of course." ”

"Also, please give me back the jade pendant."

He reached into his arms and took out a jade pendant, but it was not mine, he said: "This jade pendant is something I carry with me, I will store it for you first, and after two years, when you come to the North Hell, you will exchange it with me for your one." ”

"Why won't you give me back my jade pendant?"

"Because I don't want to."

He took my hand and put the jade pendant in my hand.

I looked down at the jade pendant in my hand, which was faintly shining in the moonlight, and I could vaguely see the word 'Changqing' on the jade pendant.

How do I feel that such an act is like an exchange of love tokens?

I put the jade pendant on the stone table and said, "I don't want this jade pendant, if you want me to cooperate with you, I hope you will return my jade pendant to me." ”

He shook his head, stuffed the jade pendant on the stone table back into my hand, and said, "If you don't take this jade pendant, you may not be able to see your jade pendant in two years." ”

We clenched the jade pendant in our hands, and felt the urge to crush it.

I said, "Okay." ”

He smiled heartily, his eyes crooked, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to touch the top of my head, and said with a slight reluctance in his tone: "That's it for today, your friend seems to be here, remember the bet you made with me, and there is still a two-year appointment." ”

In my panic, his figure disappeared before my eyes.

Along with his departure was the arrival of An Lu.

An Lu walked briskly towards me, vigilantly inspected the surroundings of the pavilion, and said, "Why do I think someone was dangling in front of my eyes just now?" ”

"You're mistaken."

"Perhaps, by the way, let me tell you something, do you know why I stayed at the banquet just now?"

"Why?"

"Jieyan's young goose always made me feel wrong, so when she left the table, I followed. Guess what I saw? ”

"She saw Emperor Wen?"

An Lu was surprised and said, "How do you know?" ”

An Lu's reaction confirmed my guess, and also confirmed what Liu Ye said about the alliance between Jieyan and Linzhao.

I shrugged my shoulders, not planning to say anything about meeting Liu Ye, and said, "Guess." ”

An Lu said: "Yes, even this matter has been guessed by you, so can you guess why they met?" ”

"Why?"

"Emperor Wen has secret guards around him, I don't dare to get too close, I only vaguely hear them saying words such as 'alliance' and 'riot', I guess, maybe Jieyan has reached an alliance agreement with Linzhao."

I nodded and said, "If the two countries are aligned, it will not be a good thing for Yueqiu. But this matter is only our speculation, this time we should make two preparations, one is to inform Shi Mo of what you have seen and heard, and the other hand, Emperor Wen likes beauty, maybe we can send Lian'an to the palace to find out the truth. ”

"Well, what you said is feasible, Qi Mo's original intention was to place Lian'an in Linzhao Palace, but we have to find a reason, otherwise it will be a little abrupt."

I thought about it for a while and said, "I heard that there is a famous concubine around Emperor Wen, who was born in Yueqiu?" ”

"You're talking about Concubine Ling, she is indeed from Yueqiu, but she has no family in Yueqiu, and Emperor Wen takes a fancy to her, so he is fortunate to be pampered by her, but I'm afraid she won't help us casually."

"My thoughts are just the opposite of yours, it is the fact that she has no backstage that makes it possible for her to help us."

An Lu looked at me and wondered, "What are you going to do?" ”

"If a woman wants to survive in the harem, she basically can't do it without a background, and after many years, Emperor Wen will go, and what awaits her is a funeral. She can bet her treasure on Emperor Wen's sons, but she has a son under her knees, even if her son-in-law succeeds to the throne, she will not let go of her son. Therefore, Yueqiu's backing is extremely tempting to her, and I guess she will most likely agree. ”

An Lu said 'ouch' and said, "I didn't see that you know so much about the affairs of the harem, is it possible that you think..."

I wondered, "What do you want?" ”

"Could it be that you want to wait for Qi Mo to enter his harem after succeeding to the throne?"

What's going on here?

Talking to An Lu, I always have the urge to roll my eyes. But I have to say that after talking to him these few words, my previous panic and anxiety gradually calmed down.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be involved in you and Shi Mo." ”

An Lu was stunned and didn't react for a while.

I look to the night sky, starry, but not as beautiful as the night sky of the country. But the defense of the country is gone forever.

I said: "It's not too early, let's leave the palace quickly, in another hour, the palace gate will be closed, and we can't get out if we want to." ”

An Lu nodded.

I put the jade pendant in my hand into my arms, and held the jade pendant for a while, with a touch of warmth.

Then he and An Lu left quickly and left the palace.

When we arrived at the inn, the time had passed, and we wanted to go back to the room to rest, but we saw Lian'an pacing in front of the inn with an anxious look.

Seeing me and An Lu returning, Lian An hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, An Gongzi, you are back." ”

I said, "What's going on, you're so alarmed." ”

According to Lian'an's temperament, if it wasn't for something important, she wouldn't be like this.

Lian An said: "Yuan Gongzi sent someone to pick up Mu Die today. ”

What else should I do, Yuan Gang said before that he would pick people up in two days, and there was nothing surprising to pick them up in advance.

I said, "He already said that he would pick up Mu Die, so why panic." ”

Lian'an shook his head and said, "The slave went to ask, Yuan Gongzi did not send someone to pick up Mu Die, Childe, please see, this is a note received by the slave an hour ago." ”

"If you want to save Mu Die, see you at Lin'an Lake tomorrow night."
