The glazed starry sky reveals a bit of blue sky.

Inside and outside the jade guard city, under this quiet and quiet skylight, the glowing green wall skin was actually stained with some strange light.

"My past?"

Mu Bai had suspicion in his eyes, and a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Didn't my past be explained clearly in prison a long time ago, what else does Lu Gongzi want to know? Aren't you planning to use it in the future? ”

Lu Jue chuckled, but he didn't take Mu Bai's joke to heart, and he knew that he was definitely not her opponent.

"After the Lu family was destroyed, I was lucky to survive, fortunately, I was already in my teens at that time, and I barely made ends meet by doing some work that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were unwilling to touch."

Lu Jue looked up at the blue starry sky, and his voice sighed softly from his chest, with a slight low tone in the clearness.

The smile on Mu Bai's face gradually faded, and he leaned forward slowly against the wall, wrapped his arms around his bent legs, and rested his chin on his knees and listened quietly.

"At that time, I felt that my life was very dark, or rather, I couldn't even see the darkness clearly, because you couldn't see hope, and when there was no hope, how could you understand how dark you were at that time?"

Mu Bai understood in his heart what Lu Jue said, no matter how strong the sun shone on him, he would not feel warm, and all around his life were like sharp knives.

In everyone's default, cut through every piece of skin on your body that is still intact.

It's the imprint that your identity brings with it that you have to live as they take for granted.

"I remember one time, the first emperor set up a banquet for his ministers, and in the second half of the night, the imperial dining room in the palace poured the food left over during the day into the swill bucket, and I stood next to the swill bucket for a full night, I don't know what the meaning of dignity is, I only know that I want to be full."

Lu Jue's clear eyes were a little gray, but after finishing speaking, he didn't feel how pretentious he was, at that time you had to eat, if you didn't eat, you would starve to death.

When Mu Bai heard Lu Jue speak, he finally couldn't help laughing, but this smile did not mean sarcasm, but seemed to be laughing at himself, after all, he had experienced a lot in that kind of life.

"It's funny, if I hadn't had the ability to change, maybe the Tidi wouldn't have trained me, and maybe I wouldn't have waited for the world to be what it really is, and I might still be in the Tidi cellars, eating animal feces and fighting and biting with those wild hybrids."

Lu Jue took a deep breath and sighed lightly: "If I had been a little younger, entered the palace, didn't know martial arts, had already become a eunuch, or something else, I wouldn't be sitting here today to talk to you." ”

When Lu Jue entered the palace, he had already passed the best age of palace punishment, and the first emperor somewhat cared about Lu Youxu's early achievements, so he pardoned Lu Jue's palace punishment suffering, if it wasn't for the change a few years later, Lu Jue would be sent to Yuanjiang when he became an adult.

"Mu Bai, when you pronounce this name, you look like a man after all."

Lu Jue eased the atmosphere a little and talked about the name Mu Bai had given him.

Mu Bai put down the scarf on his head, and his long hair, like a waterfall, slid down, and under Mu Bai's clear eyes, it was even more dusty.

"Men and women, just like racial blood, are just secular views, isn't the current Ye Dynasty Your Majesty also from a woman?"

When Lu Jue heard what Mu Bai mentioned, his eyes couldn't help flashing slightly, and he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, agreeing with what Mu Bai said.

Seeing the flickering look in Lu Jue's eyes, Mu Bai naturally guessed the relationship between Lu Jue and Feng Yewu, and at least affirmed that the two of them were really a bit of a romantic affair as rumored.

The night was windy, the day and the night were hazy and blurred, and the people in Northern Xinjiang who woke up again have now become a little numb to the strangeness of the sky.

People are back to their former hustle and bustle, the city is regained, business, and life still have to go on.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Northern Expedition army has not been launched, there are more people in the rivers and lakes, and those who have returned to their former peace have begun to continue to be busy doing business.

Lu Jue woke up from the bed, his mind was a little dizzy, heavy, it seemed that the liquor given by Mu Bai yesterday had not been eliminated.

"The general is awake."

Only then did Lu Jue see that Mu Bai on his side had been waiting for a long time with a smile on his side, and he was still holding a bowl of tea in his hand.

"It's normal for the general to have such a reaction when he drinks the wine of Northern Xinjiang for the first time, this bowl is a warm tea for decanting, and the general will be better if he drinks it."

Lu Jue took it and drank it all, and after a while, as the warm tea fragrance spread from his body to the back of his head, his head was suddenly much refreshed.

"Is the general feeling better?"

Mu Bai asked softly, Lu Jue nodded, and then asked with doubts in his eyes: "You came here at this time, is there something wrong?" ”

"Didn't the general want to know the reason for the withdrawal of the Natidi? Naturally, I came to lead the general to find out the truth. ”

Lu Jue's eyes lit up, and his depressed complexion suddenly faded, and then he hurriedly changed his clothes and followed Mu Bai out of the house.

Along the way, the scene of prosperity is noisy and lively.

"I didn't expect that in just a few days, it has already returned to such prosperity."

Lu Jue looked at the caravan from Ye Chao Kyoto on the side, which was also coming and going in the city at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Bai didn't care, but replied indifferently.

"As soon as the sword and gun go off, there is ten thousand taels of money and food, no matter which country, as long as it starts a war, money is indispensable, and these businessmen are naturally the most injured."

"Yes, under the fires of war, the most difficult thing is the people."

Lu Jue sighed softly helplessly, but Lu Jue, as a general, couldn't do anything.

Mu Bai smiled faintly, after all, she already knew what kind of character Lu Jue was, opened the folding fan in her hand, and replied softly: "The general is not a person to kill, and he is not good at war, so he is really helpless for the general." ”

Lu Jue didn't get angry when he heard Mu Bai so direct, but said in a somewhat indifferent voice: "Killing, war exploits, who in the world deserves to die, and who can truly unify?" The emergence of every race has its significance, for the sake of so-called unity, to force killing like this, Lu really can't do it. ”

After a while, the two arrived at a gambling house, and Mu Bai walked in first, and Lu Jue followed in.

In the gambling house, there were many people from the rivers and lakes, as well as soldiers from the Northern Expedition, and the shouting was accompanied by smoke.

"The general doesn't seem to have been in such a place very much."

Mu Bai turned his head and saw Lu Jue following behind him, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was some disgust in his expression, so he asked jokingly.
