Chapter 239
Su Bai's answer made Cheng Yubai feel bad in his heart, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, Su Bai's trust in himself, he didn't know if he could reply.
It didn't take long for the two to be on deck. Su Bai looked at the ocean in the distance, the sea at night was dark blue, and if there were no lights, it would look like black.
On the sea at night, the temperature was very cold, Su Bai was dressed relatively thinly, and she unconsciously clenched her hands.
Cheng Yubai saw that she was so cold, so he took off his coat and put it on her.
"Thank you, Cheng Yubai." Su Bai said casually.
Cheng Yubai didn't answer her, just quietly looked into the distance.
"Cheng Yubai, you say, is the Empress of Haidu a difficult person to get along with?" Su Bai felt that since she was going to see the Empress of Haidu soon, it would be better for her to find out the temperament of the Empress Haidu first. Although she entered the palace under the name of Empress Haidu's own daughter, she hadn't seen her for so many years, and her feelings must have been rusty, so maybe Empress Haidu was so angry that she could even start with her own daughter.
Su Bai felt that it was not impossible to do so.
Besides, Su Bai felt that his temper was so bad and his behavior was relatively casual, it was difficult to provoke Empress Haidu not to be angry.
Cheng Yubai recalled carefully, in fact, he had only seen the Empress of Haidu a few times, and he didn't know much about the Empress of Haidu.
"This question should be more appropriate to ask Yang Shuo. However, in my impression, Empress Haidu has always been a very mysterious existence, she used the strength of one person to pull out all the people who opposed her in the court, and her methods were more ruthless and terrifying. Cheng Yubai said, "But that's what I heard from others, she is your biological mother after all, presumably she will be better to you." β
"Uh, this, are you sure, why do I feel a little stricter?" Su Bai was a little speechless, Empress Haidu is such a strong woman, she really can't handle it.
Could it be that the Empress Haidu really lost her lover, so her temperament changed greatly, from a simple and naΓ―ve teenage girl, to a scheming and ruthless woman?
"The Empress of Haidu and Qin Yanfeng have some origins, and I don't know the specifics, but it is because of this origin that Qin Yanfeng is bent on taking Haidu, the last time we met Qin Yanfeng in Jiangcheng Town, presumably since that time, he has been planning how to deal with Haidu." Cheng Yubai was a little worried about Su Bai's safety, if Su Bai was just an ordinary person, or a noble lady, it would be fine, at least when the war broke out, she could still hide far away, but Su Bai was not, Su Bai was the future heir of Haidu, so this war meant that Su Bai would also join it.
If it fails, the entire sea will become Qin Yanfeng's spoils, and Su Bai will end up quite miserable. Cheng Yubai didn't want to tell Su Baiming about these things now, because he didn't want Su Bai to be afraid, he only hoped that Su Bai could be a simple and happy person, and that would be enough.
If in the past, he was only responsible for protecting Su Bai's personal safety, but now, he is greedy and wants to protect her more, including the safety of her inner pure land.
"This Qin Yanfeng, his ambition is really big." Su Bai felt that she shouldn't go to Haidu, the situation was so tense at the moment, if she went to Haidu again, if the war broke out, how would she escape at that time? No, it's too dangerous!
"Well, he is the Seventh Lord with heavy troops, so it is more difficult to deal with." Cheng Yubai sighed, it's too early to think about this now, he still thinks about how to escort Su Bai back safely, and he also has to think about it, beware of the black hands inside Haidu.
"But Cheng Yubai, is that Yang Shuo's words really credible? You also know that among the waves of black-clothed killers we met before, there were people from Haidu, and there was also a person from Haidu who was as windy as snow and was also from Haidu, if I went to Haidu, wouldn't I be plotted by them again? Su Bai felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although, we took the Fire Lotus, if the plan did not change, we should take the Fire Lotus to ask for the forgiveness of the Empress Haidu, then we should be fine. But now, the situation has changed, and the Empress Haidu has suddenly become my mother, so who is the person chasing and killing me, it can't be the Empress Haidu. β
"It definitely won't be the Empress of Haidu, the person who is chasing and killing us must be someone else!" Cheng Yubai would never let Su Bai be in danger, he clenched his hands and fists.
"Who the hell is that, it's because I'm the daughter of the Empress of Haidu that they're chasing me." Su Bai finally figured out why she and the people of Haidu had no grudges before, but they were always hunted down, it turned out that it was because of her, the daughter of the Empress of Haidu, they had to kill themselves in order to override the power of the Empress of Haidu.
"Well, I think that's the case." Cheng Yubai nodded.
"Well, then I'm really wronged, I didn't know anything before, but I was chased by my ass all the time. Cheng Yubai, did you already know that I was the daughter of the Empress of Haidu, so you came from Haidu to protect me? This doubt has been buried in Su Bai's heart for a long time, and she has never had a chance to ask, today, she wants to know Cheng Yubai's explanation. Now all kinds of signs show that Cheng Yubai did protect her for some purpose. You must know that Su Bai is at best the boss of a Nanfeng Building, why is Cheng Yubai, a man with strong martial arts and excellent people, willing to accompany him? And that's not because there's a mission.
Cheng Yubai was slightly stunned, he was a little resistant to this question in his heart, but the answer was obvious, even if he wanted to quibble, it was impossible.
Cheng Yubai had no choice but to nod, "I did go to the Central Plains to protect you, but before that, I didn't know your true identity, I only knew that you were the daughter of a Haidu gardener." β
"Okay, I'll trust you for the time being, Cheng Yubai, if I find out that you lied to me in the future, I will definitely not spare you." Su Bai doesn't like to be deceived, especially like Cheng Yubai, the most personal person around, if Cheng Yubai really deceived her, then Su Bai would be very sad, after all, she trusts him so much, in this world, the only thing she trusts is Cheng Yubai.
"Well, I'm not going to lie to you." Cheng Yubai secretly decided in his heart.
"Okay, let's pull the hook." Su Bai stretched out his little finger, which looked very delicate and small in the moonlight.
