"This is the first time I've seen him care so much about a person." Mu Yangtian sighed quietly, looked at Yun Yan, and said in a low voice, "If I had known that it was you, I might not have said that to you that day." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan's eyelids jumped, her expression was grim, who was he referring to? Looking at the middle-aged man standing above, what did he mean by that? Did you guess her identity? How can it be?! But looking at the man above, the original lonely expression on his face was replaced by something similar to relief, he was smiling at her, the smile was extraordinarily soft, even with pampering, and the long-term twisted lines on his forehead seemed to be smoothed out, but although his gaze fell on her, she didn't feel that he was looking at her, this kind of gaze made her feel suffocated, she only felt that her throat seemed to be choked, was this her delusion?

Yun Yan furrowed his eyebrows, it was impossible, he couldn't know who she was, her identity had always been mysterious, and it was impossible for someone to tell him, and she had only been in contact with him a few times. She groaned a little in her heart, but still said: "The emperor doesn't understand what he said, but please ask the emperor to say it clearly." ”

Mu Yangtian's expression changed, his eyes gradually became clearer, he looked at the people below, and said lightly: "What I told you that night, it seems that you really forgot. That's fine, let's just assume I didn't say it. ”

Looking at the man standing above suspiciously, Yun Yan's eyes flickered a trace of contemplation, he seemed to have been saying that he had told her something that night, but she couldn't help but stroke her forehead, her thoughts were flying, but she really couldn't remember what it was. She seemed to remember what he said that night, and she was a little puzzled at the time, but she was disdainful of it in her heart, so she was not very impressed, and she could not remember it for a while.

"In this case, I will take my leave first." Yun Yan retracted her gaze, forcing herself to think about it, there was no way to think of it, anyway, tonight's goal was achieved, she glanced at Mu Yangtian, and turned around directly.

Seeing the door in front of him open and close, the entire Zhengqian Palace instantly quieted down, silent as water, he stood there without moving, his face was unknown, I don't know how long it took to say that the corners of Mu Yangtian's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked up at the top, his face became more and more soft, as if he remembered some good things, for a long time, his face gradually sank, and his deep eyes fell in the direction of the door, he muttered to himself: "Those eyes are really too similar, and the most important thing is that I never imagined that her daughter would one day become a legend to be recited by the world, and that one day she would be able to stand in front of me, negotiate terms and make deals with me. And he seemed to really care about her, which was a little strange. Speaking of this, he slowly closed his eyes, "This mood is really complicated, I want to stop it, but I want to watch the situation continue to develop." Heh-"

Yun Yan walked out of the gate of the Zhengqian Palace, she looked at the palace gate behind her, a trace of depression flashed in her eyes, Mu Yangtian seemed to have something to say, this person seemed to have a lot of secrets, and about him, it was only a few words from Mu Jingnan's mouth. I always feel that such a sad and vigorous figure makes people want to explore.

The situation in the entire court was changing, but she was already faintly aware that Mu Yangtian seemed to be the god hidden behind all the dark clouds, and he could easily know all the things in the Dao, as if everyone was a clown jumping in front of him. The most terrible thing about each dynasty is not the invasion of other countries on the border, but the dispute between the crown princes, but now this cool capital seems to be developing towards the back.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Yan looked ahead, this is not the time to think about things, and after this time, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to deal with him again. Thinking of this, she walked straight ahead, but after taking a few steps, suddenly the same sound came from several directions, and many people were running towards this side, and the footsteps were heard in an orderly manner.

"Catch the assassins! Quick, catch the assassin ......"

The footsteps of a large group of people came, and the weapons were extremely piercing in this night.

Yun Yan's expression tightened, she turned her head to look at the origin of the voice, on the left, on the right, in front, and behind there were people coming to the side, heh, she was made dumplings. So, has she been discovered? Or maybe Mu Yangtian specially sent someone to arrest her?

No, Mu Yangtian shouldn't have done such a thing, although she couldn't say why, but it was her intuition.

Looking around, the wall is still some distance from this side, her body has not yet recovered, because of the internal injuries caused by her light skills can not be fully exerted, if she passes now, it is very likely that someone will be discovered halfway, at that time, if she accidentally falls from the sky, she will only fall into a more passive state.

Then, Yun Yan clenched her hands, so she could only forcibly rush out of the body here, thinking of this, the sword she hid in her sleeve slowly stretched out, and her right hand gently stroked her chest, first temporarily suppressing the condition in her body, her eyes looked awe-inspiring, those people were slowly approaching.

Just when Yun Yan was about to pull out the sword, she suddenly had a smart heart in her heart, there was someone behind her, this breath was low and depressed, and she only felt a little cold on her back. She whispered, "Who? ”

"Don't be afraid—" A low, hoarse voice came, and with that voice, she felt like she was relieved.

However, before she could turn around, her whole body was dragged up and flew towards the wall in front of her not far away. This voice, this sentence, felt that the gloomy aura filled the surroundings, and she only felt a trace of strangeness in her heart, how could he be here? She clenched her teeth, her eyes flickered, her head down, and looked down, as if she was running away from something.

On the ground, the Praetorian Guards from four directions gathered in one place, and the four leading Praetorian Guards gathered together to discuss.

"What about people? Haven't found it yet? One of them said loudly.

"Probably not in this place, keep looking." Another voice came.

"Let's go, keep looking, he won't be able to go far......"

……

On the eaves, looking at the Praetorian Guards on the ground who had already divided their troops and left, Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, so she saved a lot of trouble, but she unconsciously closed her eyes, her right hand was on her waist, and his strength in her waist had long since disappeared, he left, and after saving her, he left, and never said anything.

No, he said one sentence, "Don't be afraid", is she so useless in his heart? How could she be afraid, she didn't need him to save her! Heh, did he think she'd be grateful to him that way? Why did he do such superfluous things, was it because of guilt? Yun Yan only felt that her head was messy inside, she stroked her head gently, looking at the Zhengqian Palace not far in front of her, her eyes sank, now is not the time to think about this, where is there any omission in her, it actually makes people know that she has come to the palace, it seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

As soon as she returned to Suxuan Pavilion, Yun Yan directly untied the veil on her face, and before she could change her clothes, a sudden sound came. Someone was walking towards this side, listening to the sound of that step, her heart sank, this person's martial arts are extremely high.

Is that him? Yun Yan's eyes tightened, and a figure flickered directly in her mind, she clenched the veil in her hand, did he come to explain to her now? Thinking of this, she pursed her lips, but some things can't change anything even if they are explained.

The door creaked open, and a dark figure walked in, looking around, his eyes staring intently inside, and the breath of someone came over there.

Feeling the footsteps approaching, Yun Yan's heart sank, what should be faced must always be faced, since he is here tonight, should some things be made clear, if she continues like this, her heart will be even more chaotic, and she will not be able to do anything.

However, just after opening the bead curtain, with the faint light of the lights outside, Yun Yan looked at the person in front of her, she was stunned, and said in surprise: "Why are you." ”

Capturing the slight disappointment that flashed in the eyes of the person in front of him, the eyes of the person who came were tightened, but his expression did not change at all, and he said lightly: "It's me, who do you think it is?" ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan frowned, turned his head to look away, and said indifferently: "No, I thought it was blue water." ”

Looking at the person in front of her, the corners of Ji Lengxue's mouth were slightly deformed, in the past, she would never hide herself like this, but this time she returned to Liangdu, it seemed that she had changed a lot. Recently, he noticed that the coldness in her eyes seemed to be gradually melting.

There was no interface, Ji Lengxue walked towards the table on the side, he sat directly at the table, his body was sideways, so that people could not see the expression on his face clearly, for a long time, he sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I hid that from you." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan immediately came back to her senses and looked at the man at the table, in the dark night, although she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but in this voice, there was a low and guilty tone. Did he come to apologize to her? Will the man in front of him also apologize? Thinking of this, she smiled unconsciously, which was rare. I guess I was gradually infected by the blue water, so it's good.

Yun Yan retracted his gaze, looked at Ji Lengxue, and sighed lightly: "If it weren't for knowing those things from his mouth, I wouldn't have known that Lu Dao Leng Xue had such a life experience, I know that I shouldn't have asked more about this matter, but if you have been by my side for all these years, I think we can be regarded as friends." If you wanted revenge, why didn't you tell me earlier? Then maybe I can still ......."

"These are things I never want to remember." Ji Lengxue suddenly interrupted Yun Yan and said, he looked ahead, he couldn't see anything clearly, as if there was no end, just like that hatred, going deep, would only make people lose themselves. After a moment of silence, Ji Lengxue seemed to be recalling something, and said in a low voice: "Actually, my memory of being in the Dugu family is not very deep, maybe it was because of my young age at that time, at first, I only knew that the people in the Lu Dao family were dead, and I was carried by the housekeeper and escaped." But when I was older, the housekeeper who took me away could not fight for my life anymore, and before he died, he told me about my life experience, and he wanted me to avenge everyone in the Dugu family. Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, looking at Yun Yan, his eyes were full ......of sarcasm, and he sneered and said, "Revenge? What am I going to avenge for the sake of Lu? I have never known the way of those so-called grudges, and I don't want to know the way of the road, why do they want me to avenge me, I want to take revenge? Was I born to take revenge? How can you be willing?! How could I be willing to be someone else's tool! He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, although it was all unwilling, Yun Yan only felt that it was full of desolation and helplessness, so it turned out that this was Ji Lengxue? It was the first time I had seen him show such emotion in front of her. And she didn't expect that one day he would be willing to say these words.

"Then why did you become a killer?" After thinking about it, Yun Yan said in a low voice, the first time I saw him at that time, he was covered in blood, as if he had returned from purgatory, terrifying and gloomy, or like a corpse dressed in human skin, without any life in sight.

Ji Lengxue didn't look at Yun Yan, his eyes looked ahead without focus, and said with a sneer: "Since the death of the housekeeper, I have lived a life of exile, and finally one day, I was caught by human traffickers and sold to a killer organization, and since then they have begun to train me to become a killer." And I've been looking for an answer, whether the hearts of people in this world are black or red, so if I don't kill anyone, I will dig out their hearts, but the heart is red on the outside, but it is black on the inside. Speaking of the latter, it was as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Yun Yan's eyebrows tightened, looking at the man in front of him, this was really like the scene when he first saw him at that time, unruly, and there was disdain for everything in this world in those eyes.

"But I didn't expect that I would be defeated by one person, I am proud of my martial arts, but in the end I lost to you, the people in the organization are cruel to the killer, once the mission fails once, then that person's fate is death. When I lost to you, I knew that my life would end, and the people in the organization would not let me go. However, I have never been able to understand why you wanted to save me for what you were doing at that time! Ji Lengxue looked at Yun Yan and said in a deep voice. At that time, a girl who was so young, her cold eyes were clearly full of murderous intent, but it was like he stretched out his hand.

Hearing this, the corners of Yun Yan's mouth hooked slightly, what did he do to save him? She looked up at the bright night outside, and she suddenly laughed at herself, and said, "It always feels like seeing a lost lamb, just like me, living like a walking dead in this world." I probably felt like I saw myself, and for a moment I wanted to kill you, but I always felt that if I killed you, it would be like erasing the traces of my existence in this world. ”

Looking at Yun Yan in surprise, Ji Lengxue was silent for a long time, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Remember your agreement, if one day I can kill you, then I can be free, for you, I am a dangerous existence." For what? ”

"Is it dangerous? I've never felt that way, you won't kill me, you're not like that. Yun Yan suddenly turned around and looked at Ji Lengxue and said steadily.

Not such a person?! Ji Lengxue only felt as if something was stuck in her throat, did she believe him like that? Suddenly, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and an emotion similar to a smile flashed across his knife-like face, but only for a moment.

"Leng Xue, thank you all these years, I think I'm going to break our agreement. I will give you freedom, from now on, Tingxue Lou no longer belongs to me, and you Ji Lengxue is just yourself. Yun Yan suddenly looked at Ji Lengxue and said, the corners of her mouth crossed a slight arc, this is good for everyone.

Hearing this, Ji Lengxue's eyes instantly turned cold, he glanced at Yun Yan, and said in a cold voice: "I, Ji Lengxue, have always been talkative, and I have been here for so many years, how can I care about the last year." With that, he stood up directly, took a few steps towards the door, and then stopped. Tilting his head to look at Yun Yan, he said indifferently, "The person you asked me to check already has eyebrows." I believe that tomorrow it will be certain, and tomorrow I will send someone to tell you. ”

"Leng Xue......" Yun Yan frowned, and shouted in a low voice, she sighed slightly in her heart, why did he do this, the original agreement was not good for him, and he has helped her a lot over the years, it is really enough.

Ji Lengxue turned her head, looked out of the door, and said lightly: "Don't feel guilty about anything, I will definitely fulfill my promise." There are other things I have to tell you, although I don't want to take revenge, but if Mu Jingnan can help the Dugu family avenge, I don't think it's impossible. I met him a few years ago, he is an even more ruthless person than me, you have also heard rumors about him, the night ghost, that ghostly killer, once killed hundreds of people in a manor overnight, without even raising an eyebrow. His fate is the most miserable, which is why he resents and even disdains all living beings. But for the first time, I saw hesitation in his eyes, even if he didn't want to admit it. I've never seen him think so much about anyone, but you, it seems, never understood. As he spoke, he looked at Yun Yan and said, "Actually, you should know him better than I do." With that, he walked straight out of the room.

Does she know Mu Jingnan better than him? Yun Yan opened her mouth, what did Leng Xue mean by this? Mu Jingnan, does she know him? No, don't understand, how could she understand him! She only felt that her head was getting more and more messy.

Inside the courtyard, looking at the door behind him, a trace of complexity flashed on Ji Lengxue's face, and looked at the sky, this night is still as heavy as before, but, will there be light this time?

The night passed, and when she woke up in the morning, Yun Yan only felt a headache, she had been thinking about the question that Ji Lengxue left her yesterday all night, should she know Mu Jingnan very well? But when she thought of this question, she unconsciously clenched her hands, since when did she lose her cool?

I don't know how long it took to talk, the door was pushed open, and Bishui came in with a snack, but his little face was preoccupied.

In the room, Bi Shui was arranging the snacks on the table, and looked at Yun Yan worriedly and said, "Miss, I don't know how the eldest princess of Lu Dao is doing now, and it doesn't matter if her body is okay." ”

Yun Yan sat at the table, her hand holding the chopsticks shook unconsciously, she raised her head and looked at Bi Shui, and said suspiciously: "Eldest princess? What happened to Aunt Xue Ning? She's not in good health? ”

"Miss, you don't know that there was an assassin in the palace last night. The eldest princess was assassinated, and I heard that the injury was very serious, but I don't know what the situation is now, and it makes people worry when they think about it. Bi Shui sighed as she spoke, although she was not too familiar with Mu Xuening, but after all, she was the person that Miss cared about, and she had also helped Miss, and her impression of her was not bad, although she was talking, but the work in her hands did not stop.

Hearing this, Yun Yan directly put the chopsticks on the table, and she unconsciously remembered what happened last night in her mind, when those Praetorian Guards said that they wanted to catch the assassins, but at that time they didn't say what kind of arrest they were going to catch at this moment. And since she was making a deal with Mu Yangtian, he naturally wouldn't cross the river and tear down the bridge, which can only show that it was not her who those Praetorian Guards were going to arrest at the moment, but someone else, and it was very likely that it was the one who assassinated Mu Xuening.

Good and dignified, why would Mu Xue Ning be assassinated? Thinking of this, Yun Yan's face became more and more heavy, Aunt Xue Ning is a good friend of her mother, and she is also very good to her, how can she let her have something, this matter must be investigated.

Looking at Yun Yan's slightly worried expression, Bi Shui sat aside, took her hand, and comforted: "Miss, don't worry, the eldest princess must be auspicious, and she will be fine, you see, there is no news of the eldest princess's serious injury in this palace, and it is not too serious." ”

Yun Yan lowered her eyelids, she nodded, indeed, no news is good news, who is this who wants to kill Aunt Xue Ning? I can probably only ask her about this. Suddenly, she raised her eyes, looked at Bishui, and said with a smile: "Your girl's ability to comfort people is getting better, weren't you worried just now?" Don't worry, I'm fine, but I'm going to go to the palace today. Speaking of this, she sighed slightly in her heart, she had said that she would enter the palace to ask her aunt for peace, but she had never been there until now, and this time she went because she was injured.

After breakfast, Yun Yan made a little preparation and was ready to go out, but as soon as he walked out of Dongyuan, he heard the sound of several people talking.

"That man was so handsome." A few maidservants walked past them, as if to say something.

"Yes, I see, he doesn't let it go much more than the sixth prince, he speaks softly." The other maid said.

"Don't say it again, we secretly saw it just now, if we let the master know that we are talking about guests behind our backs, our lives will be guaranteed!"

"yes, shhhh

……

Hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart, who was the person who surprised the maid in the house so much, and she was also Yun Mocheng's guest, she glanced at Bishui on the side, and said, "Bishui, let's go and see first." "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and I have an ominous premonition in my heart.
