Tonight is destined to have trouble sleeping.

Sima Jiaoyan's mind was full of the wolf dog in the box that was drenched in blood and crushed corpses.

Sima stared at the torn white paper in the room, stunned, and shivered all over.

And Zhao District, who was in the inn, lost her mind at the bright moon outside the window, and she was also thinking about a lot of things in her head, the past and the present life, which added up to a lot of things, which made her uneasy.

Yao Xun was about to be extremely tired, and he had already fallen asleep, and his snoring sounded in the room.

Xuanyiwei, who was guarding in the dark, remained silent, Zhao turned his head, stared blankly at the eyes in the dark, and asked, "Why did you grow thorns?" ”

Xuan Yiwei didn't speak, and Zhao was not discouraged, and continued, "Is that what you call the natural spirit?" ”

"Your world is really strange, I also saw someone with a beam of light in his hand, like the light of the old house......" Before she finished speaking, Xuan Yiwei suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, with a little excitement, and asked, "That person, what does it look like?" ”

Zhao smiled and didn't answer his question.

"Say, what does that man look like?" Xuan Yiwei seemed to be a little anxious, those eyes were shining under the moonlight, that was the eyes of care, Zhao was suddenly interested.

"You answer my question first, are the thorns on your hands so-called natural spirits?"

Xuan Yiwei was very honest this time, nodded, his eyes were blazing, staring at her, and asked again, "....... that person?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao raised his little hand and said briskly, "I haven't seen him." ”

Xuan Yiwei's face froze, and he was speechless by her decisive answer.

"But I can describe his figure to you, about as tall as you, a little stronger than you, dressed in sackcloth, wearing a mask, and riding a black horse."

Xuan Yiwei lowered his head and listened to these words silently, but Zhao saw that his left hand on the side of the bed trembled slightly.

"When did you see that?"

"Half a month ago." Zhao District said, and then felt that something was wrong, isn't this the face of the bandit leader in Qiyang Mountain, why is this little brother this reaction?

"You know?"

The thorny brother raised his head and looked at her quietly, "Tell me what happened that day word by word!" ”

This was almost a commanding tone, and Zhao was very upset, she turned her head, a little unwilling to deal with him.

"Please."

She turned her head and happened to see the tears in the eyes of the thorny brother, and her heart softened, so she briefly talked about the events of that day.

Of course, in this simple explanation, her and Zhao Kuo's identities changed to merchants who went to the Great Zhou to trade, and because of a chance encounter with horse bandits, they were burned to the bottom of the house, and they were chased and killed by horse bandits all the way...... Yao Xun is a loyal bodyguard... Luckily returned to Xiliang Taikang Yunyun.

In fact, the little brother didn't care about their story.

"Where was he when we last saw him? Still, alive? ”

Zhao District shook his head and said in a low voice, I don't know.

However, at this moment in my mind, I recalled the face that was aging rapidly in the light.

……………

The next day, dawn.

Zhao was woken up by Yao Xun, this guy woke up alive, the wounds on his body were actually healed, and he began to walk in the yard and practice marksmanship.

She got up and noticed that the whiplash on her arm had also faded into a white mark, which looked like an old wound.

"It's amazing." She muttered softly.

At that moment, there was a creak, and the door opened.

This time, it was not the thorny brother who was guarding them last night, but Hu Lu, who had not seen him for several days.

Zhao's eyes lit up, and he went down to the ground and closed the doors and windows. Pulling Hu Lu and sitting on the chair, "Uncle dear, you're here!" ”

Hu Lu was also shocked by her intimate sudden enthusiasm, and rolled up her sleeves and asked solemnly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhao District hung up a sad face.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say" She shook her head and told her about the unlucky experience of the past few days, especially focusing on being abused by Sima Jiaoyan, and showing him the scars on her arms as she spoke.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! Hu Lu stood up and shouted, "The dignified Sima Qianjin, her behavior is so bad!" ”

Zhao was stunned for a while by his indignant appearance, and then felt that something was wrong, this key point was a little wrong, why did Hu Lu only sigh that others were not good at morality, and didn't mention anything about her at all?

She squinted at Hu Lu, lengthened her voice, and shouted, "Uncle—"

Hu Lu shuddered, came back to his senses, looked a little guilty, sighed, and bowed to her with a good attitude, "It's that I can't live with you." ”

Zhao nodded with satisfaction, then pulled his sleeve and said, "The past, let's not mention it for the time being, let's talk about the future, when does your Highness plan to let us go?" ”

When Hu Lu heard this, his brows furrowed again.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a while, and I... I haven't made up my mind yet. ”

Zhao was shocked and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be like this! How can a man be so hesitant to do things? ”

Hu Lu frowned, "You don't understand. ”

"I don't understand?" Zhao asked rhetorically, "If we don't understand, we deserve to be imprisoned here by your indecision!?" ”

Hu Lu's body shook, his lips trembled, and he was speechless.

Zhao clearly saw his guilt, but he still didn't want to take back what he had just said. Even, she wanted to say, why are you so selfish?!

But in the end, I still haven't said it, how difficult the world is, everyone has their own pain in doing things, why be aggressive.

Hu Lu looked at her back for a long time, took a deep breath, and walked out of the door.

"Well, it's over."

These six words seemed to express endless sadness, and Zhao looked back at Hu Lu's back, his eyes astringent.

…………

In Sima's Mansion, the Fifth Morning Stream stood quietly in the morning light, with a handsome face and a slender posture, like a perfect sculpture.

Sima Jiaoyan looked at the sculpture obsessively, unable to take her eyes off it for a long time.

Sima Xiang knelt on the ground, trembling and trembling.

Luo Ran stood aside and reported the situation, "Yesterday, Xuan Yiwei secretly investigated and found that the Prime Minister of Sima Mansion was guilty of covering up, and his daughter was guilty of heinous crimes, arson dogs hurt people, and tortured prisoners in the cell to death without authorization, and the soldiers in the city could not avoid it, and the body of Yanlin in the northeast of the city was covered with whip marks.........

The fifth morning stream listened indifferently to these words and was silent for a long time.

The moisture in the air seemed to have condensed into ice, and Sima Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have stopped breathing, and Sima Jiaoyan also realized that something was wrong, so he quickly knelt down and didn't dare to raise his head again.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Hu Lu walked over, dressed in gray clothes.

"Your Highness, the law is based on the hair."

When this sentence was spoken, the fifth morning stream moved, he bowed his head slightly at Hu Lu, his eyes were still cold, "Very good, I will stay in Taikang for a while, and I will return to the land in the future." ”

When Hu Lu heard this, there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes, and he was immediately overjoyed, knelt down and bowed.

"Your Highness is wise!"

As soon as the sycophancy was spoken, it was followed by another sentence, "Your Highness spares your life!" ”

It was Sima Xiang, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and began to kneel on the ground and cry, "Your Highness spares your life, it's a young girl, please let Your Highness fall lightly!" ”

When the words fell, Luo Ran couldn't help laughing, "Last night, Miss Sima said in front of me that she was not too young."

Besides, how many things can a young man cover?
