"What's wrong with him?" Ci Jing said curiously.

"Do you remember the Shadows?"

Ci Jing's pupils shrank slightly when she heard this, the name "Shadow" seemed to come through distant time and space, and when it fell into her ears, she had to think about it for a while, before she remembered the organization that Yu Ying had mentioned to her many times, and the way she and Yu Ying returned to Luming Palace in the Western Regions, Mu Die and Lingju they met were all Shadow People.

And the unclothed is the protector of the shadows.

Cijing blinked, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say, "Could it be that the assassin is the killer of the Shadows?" ”

Sun Xian nodded silently, for some reason, Ci Jing was a little relieved, she sighed, and said, "Then why is it related to Situ Ke?" ”

"Situ Ke wants to help His Royal Highness King Shuo win the throne in the court, and he wants to help Song Linzhao, the leader of the Demon Sect, get the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance in the martial arts." Sun Xian said slowly, "And the martial arts conference that was destroyed by the Demon Sect three years ago also had people from the shadows take action, and I have been paying attention to it all these years, and the disaster that was almost a massacre back then has something to do with the imperial court." ”

Sun Xian's words were like a boulder, rolling down the cliff and smashing on Cijing's heart, which suddenly made her a little breathless, and Qi Fengqi's bloody face and the wet but still warm embrace involuntarily appeared in her mind.

It had been several years, but now that she suddenly mentioned it, she felt strange that she remembered it so clearly.

Seeing that her face was a little wrong, Sun Xian Lin reached out and patted her shoulder gently, Ci Jing raised his head, his face was a little pale, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth, "Then, you mean that the Demon Sect has always colluded with the imperial court?" ”

Sun Xian nodded slightly, "The 'White Bone Fan' has only risen in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and the Situ family has always been divided into two branches, one branch merchant and one branch officer, the merchant may be able to ensure that they are a rich party, but the branch is relatively mediocre, like Situ Ke, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, and has also achieved the position of Jing Zhaoyin in the imperial court, it is really unprecedented, maybe there will be no one in the future." ”

Ci Jing was stunned and asked, "Then why did he pester you before?" ”

"My father was forced to hand over the military power," Sun Xian was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to explain to Ci Jing, "Situ Ke probably thought that my father would be unwilling, so he thought about pulling my father to his side, although my father has no military power, but Lian Po is not old, as long as Situ Ke regains the military power for him, if the emperor refuses to give the throne to His Royal Highness King Shuo, my father will die for them." ”

Cijing frowned, Sun Xian was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at her, smiled lightly, and said: "But my father is not stupid, the king of Wanhai County, who started from scratch and made friends with people of insight in the world to fight against the Japanese invaders, did not let a fledgling boy lead the nose at will." ”

Cijing didn't speak, even if she was no longer what she used to be, she was no longer the little girl who would only shrink behind people and seek refuge from others, but when she really encountered such a big battle, she still didn't know how to parry.

Sun Xian Lin seemed to see her concerns, and said, "You don't have to worry, I will try not to let you get involved again." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ci Jing suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

Sun Xian touched her head and smiled like a spring breeze, "I didn't mean to do this, but since Situ Ke hit my father with his idea, how could I, as a son, let him go easily, no matter what purpose he wanted His Royal Highness King Shuo to sit on the throne." ”

Ci Jing pursed his lips and did not speak. She and Sun Xian have known each other for so long, and he has never cared much about the affairs of the court, but this time, he is obviously going to intervene.

"Brother Sun......"

Sun Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "When the situation is more stable in a few days, I will send someone to send you and Guiyue out of the capital, and you go back to Luming Palace, as for Princess Panruo, I will take good care of her, and send her back when Prince Banli is injured." ”

Cijing heard the words and was silent for a while, Sun Xian Lin got up to leave, she reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, Sun Xian Lin turned around again and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm not leaving." Ci Jing raised his head and looked at him, the light in his eyes was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Sun Xian's eyes, he was stunned, "Don't mess around-"

"I'm not messing around, Brother Sun, do you know how I've come over all these years?"

Sun Xian Lin heard her talk about these years for the first time, looked at her with heavy eyebrows, and said: "I regret it, after A-Ying is gone, I always think back to the past, at first it always starts with me knowing A-Ying, what I have experienced with him, how he treated me well, and how he was seriously injured because of me, he died shortly after he was thirteen years old, every time I think about this, I can't wait to go back to the past and end myself directly." Later, the memory went back to the time when I knew you, Sister Lingling and Brother Qi, the same troublemaker I caused you so much trouble and didn't know it, if the memory went back a little further, it was me who dragged my mother down, and my mother had the opportunity to redeem herself, but she rolled in the dust for half her life for me......"

Cijing couldn't say anything, her throat injury was not healed, she was so choked that she couldn't speak, she gritted her teeth, Sun Xian wanted her not to say it, but Cijing opened her mouth again, and said: "Brother Sun, think about it carefully, I have only lived for 20 years, but I don't know how many people have been affected, it's really sad and hateful!" ”

Sun Xian sighed when he heard this, held her shoulder, looked into her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Cijing, your mother gave birth to you, and it was her choice to rise and fall for you for half your life, Brother Qi was injured for you, and Yu Ying paid for your life, it was also their own choice, you have not done a bad thing, why should you bear all the sins, shouldn't it be those big devils with bloody hands that should introspect and blame themselves?" ”

The white in Cijing's eyes has been filled with red blood, and his gentle face is clearly reflected in the black pupils, Sun Xian continued: "I know that you usually seem to always seem to act recklessly and live a frank life, but you have a very heavy heart, you can't really be happy and happy, you are worried about this, worrying about that, trembling, for fear that you will accidentally cause the people around you to suffer, you are enthusiastic by nature, but you always force yourself not to care about other people's affairs, but you can't help it." ”

Ci Jing moved her lips, her heart beat wildly, and all her thoughts seemed to be seen through by Sun Xian Lian.

"I want you to live a truly happy life, you don't have to be vain and wronged, you don't have to pretend to be strong," Sun Xian Lin picked up a strand of her hair, her eyes were gentle and bright, "I can't replace Yu Ying's place in your heart, but at least I can protect you better than him." ”

Ci Jing stretched out his hand to cover his face, his lips were bitten tightly, and he didn't make a sound, Sun Xian sighed and took her into his arms.

Outside, Guiyue and Panruo sat on the steps, this small courtyard was split out by Sun Xian Lin alone, not allowing people to come in, and Cuiwei Cuinong was originally from the county king's mansion, but "I went out to do something for the prince some time ago", and now I am back, so that no one is suspicious.

Praruo held his cheeks and looked at the sky above the roof that had burned red, suddenly sighed, and turned his head to look at Rosemoon, Rosemoon hung her head and didn't know what she was thinking, the sunset dyed a layer of soft gold for his side face, the long eyelashes seemed to become transparent, the roots were crystal clear, the straight nose bridge, the thin lips were slightly pursed, and the jaw arc was as delicate as a knife, and she couldn't help but look stunned, she thought that this person was so good-looking, and the mirror said that he ate with his face, and it seemed that it was so.

Rosemoon was actually napping with her head down, but somehow she suddenly woke up, and she was startled, for fear that he would find out that he was peeking just now, and said nonsense: "You see the moon is so round today." ”

Guiyue looked up at the burning sky, and then moved her gaze to the right, and indeed saw a very faint full moon, so she nodded and said, "Well, yes." ”

Praruo didn't expect Guiyue to actually take it, and was speechless for a while, Guiyue stood up and said, "At this time, Cuiwei Cuinong should send food over." ”

As if no one was around him, he stood up and said, "Are you hungry?" ”

Rosetsuki touched her stomach, "Sort of." ”

There were three rooms in this courtyard, one for each of the three of them, with Prajna's room in the middle and Rosetsuki's on the side against the wall. He dragged his steps to that side, and Pranya followed, and Guiyue stopped, glanced at her, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I, I don't want to be left alone." Praruo's eyes rolled, and she suddenly raised her head and smiled, she stretched out her hand to grab the corner of Guiyue's clothes, "Cijing said that I shouldn't be able to kiss this time, so I can go back to the Western Regions in a few days, and then you can go back with me, okay?" ”

Guiyue looked at her little white porcelain face, sighed in her heart, and said, "Princess, I have already married a wife." ”

The smile on Pranya's face froze, and she opened her mouth to snort, and Guiyue continued, "I love my wife very much. ”

"But you always follow Cijing, could it be that Cijing is your wife? It's impossible, she and Mr. Sun are obviously a couple. ”

Rosemoon was silent, they were anxiously thinking about how to escape the pursuit of the pursuers, but she was here to observe their relationship between characters?

"My wife has passed away." Rosetsuki is good-natured and authentic.

"Have you considered remarrying?" I don't mind that you are already married, the latter sentence almost blurted out, and the little tongue stretched out and rolled the words back.

Rosetsuki shook her head slightly, "No. ”

The disappointment in Prajna's eyes was self-evident, and Rosetsuki ignored it, turning around and walking towards her room, Pranya followed two more steps, but froze in place, because she saw a person sitting on the opposite wall.

Rosemoon also saw it, and he squinted slightly at the man.

The man turned against the light and couldn't see his face clearly, but he could vaguely tell that he was laughing. Dressed in a calamus-colored gown, his long hair hung down to one side with a ribbon of the same color, and his hands propped up on the wall, he jumped down easily and fell into the courtyard.

Rosemoon retreated in front of Prajna almost without hesitation, and looked at the person who came faintly.
