An inn somewhere on the border of East Qin.

"Childe, my subordinates have received news from the capital, saying that the eldest prince Gu Chenjing has received the news of your secret return and has sent killers to pursue you. Now that the killer has left the capital, please give me instructions on what to do next. Shuo Feng said in a deep voice.

Gu Li's slender fingers tapped on the table one after another, falling into deep thought.

Shuo Feng stood aside, not daring to disturb him. Whenever Childe makes this move, he knows that Childe is planning, which also means that someone is going to be unlucky.

As the minutes ticked by, there was an eerie silence in the room, and only faint breathing could be heard.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Li's indifferent voice sounded, "Let our people not have to resist too much, and then kill them all after leading them to one place." Then, during this period, let our people fully understand the contact information between them, and take this opportunity to let them mingle with Gu Chenjing's side. You can arrange the specific method. ”

"Yes. The subordinates understood. ”

"Childe, there is one more thing my subordinates want to ask you." Shuo Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

"Say." Gu Li took a sip of tea and said.

"Childe, do you like it, eldest princess?" The words that pressed in his heart were finally spoken, and Shuo Feng suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Like?" Gu Li frowned slightly. Growing up, he never knew what liking was, and he had never felt this way, so when Shuofeng asked him, he was also confused. Before, when Mu Qianxia asked him, he could say "never" without hesitation, but now, for some reason, he couldn't tell this feeling for a while.

"Childe, you seem to be different from others to the eldest princess, so good, you even brought her back to Dongqin. Moreover, the emperor has also looked for a lot of candidates for you before, either everyone is beautiful or a small jasper, but you have refused, this time, why did you bring the eldest princess back and be your princess? The marriage between the eldest prince and the eldest princess is basically known to everyone, but you intervened to prevent their marriage, where do you put the face of the eldest prince? Your actions will undoubtedly exacerbate the contradictions between you, for the sake of the eldest princess, is it really worth it?" Shuo Feng is puzzled.

"Even if I didn't interfere in the affairs between the two of them, Gu Chenjing and I wouldn't write off all the previous things because of this. If the marriage between Gu Chenjing and the eldest princess is really successful, with the attitude of the four princes towards the eldest princess, if the two of us fight for the throne at that time, Xichu will definitely stand on Gu Chenjing's side, which will be very unfavorable to our situation. After Gu Li paused for a moment, he said softly: "Also, I don't like the eldest princess, it's just that I feel guilty." If it weren't for me, she would still be the most favored eldest princess in Xichu, and she would not be in danger again and again when she was loved by her relatives, and her only relative would have ended up missing because of me. Therefore, my kindness to her is out of guilt, and it is to make up for her, that's all, it has nothing to do with Fengyue. While he was telling Shuo Feng, he was also telling himself that his kindness to Mu Qianxia was just to make up for everything he had done to her, not because he liked it.

"Childe, you have changed, and you will never feel guilty about using someone before, and you will not make amends for it." It is the appearance of the eldest princess that has changed you, so that you have human emotions, no longer the god-like existence that is high, seemingly gentle and affectionate, but indifferent and ruthless, but I don't know whether this change is good or bad.

Changed? Has he changed? Or, just different for her? Could it be that he really likes Mu Qianxia as Shuofeng said? Gu Li closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, even when Shuo Feng left, he didn't have any reaction.

Outside the window, the sky was as black as ink, a round of crescent moon emitting a faint silver light hung in the air, and the soft moonlight passed through the window, softly and warmly sprinkled on Gu Li's body, making him look more like a fairy, handsome and extraordinary, noble and elegant, as if he would step on the moon and leave at any time.

…………

An inn in Xichu.

A man in a bronze mask silently appeared in the cold room.

At this time, the cold smoke had fallen asleep, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering a pair of phoenix eyes. The long hair was like ink, and a few strands fell down to the forehead, and the whole person looked quiet and peaceful. However, the moment the bronze masked man appeared, he still woke up from his sleep, perhaps because of his childhood experience, he would maintain a high degree of vigilance even when he was sleeping, and he could wake up immediately if there was any disturbance. However, he did not make any move, and still lay there motionless, he wanted to see what the purpose of the man had come.

"Master Han, since you have woken up, you don't have to lie down anymore, why don't you get up and talk to the contemptible people?" The man in the bronze mask said loudly.

Since it had been torn apart, Hanyan was embarrassed to continue pretending, so he turned over and got up, and walked around in his clothes.

"I don't know what Your Excellency is doing here late at night?" Maybe it was because he knew that the visitor was not hostile to him, and Han Yan also behaved generously.

"Naturally, I'm here to help." The comer chuckled.

"What do you mean? Han didn't understand very well. ”

"I heard that the eldest princess is about to marry the three princes of Eastern Qin, and now she has arrived in the territory of Eastern Qin......"

"How do you know about this?" Before he could finish speaking, Han Yan interrupted in a deep voice. Mu Qianxia left Beijing secretly this time, and there were very few people who knew about it, if it wasn't for Mu Qianxia to leave a message for him, he wouldn't have known. It's just that how did the person in front of me know and know it in such detail? Who the hell is he?

"Young Master Han doesn't need to be excited, as for how the contemptible people know about this matter, you don't need to know, you just need to know that the contemptible people will not be unfavorable to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." The comer said softly. There was a hint of nonchalance in his tone.

"What are you doing with me? If there is nothing to do, Han will continue to sleep, it is late at night, and your Excellency should rest early. Han Yan mercilessly began to issue an eviction order.

"Haha." The comer laughed instead of being angry: "Han Gongzi is really joking, it is something that the contemptible people don't want to come thousands of miles ago, and this matter is beneficial to you, are you sure you don't want to listen to it?"

"Say." Cold smoke said coldly.

"The contemptible can help you save Her Royal Highness the eldest princess from leaving. As for where Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess plans to go in the future or where you plan to arrange for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to go, no one will interfere. The visitor chuckled, "Doesn't that sound tempting?"

Hanyan snorted coldly and said calmly, "What are your conditions?"

"There are no conditions, just a gesture. It's just that if the contemptible people need Han Gongzi's help in the future, I hope Han Gongzi can remember today's events. ”

Hanyan frowned, "Is it really that simple?" ”

"It's that simple. After all, it is something that many people can't ask for to make the world's No. 1 businessman owe him a favor. ”

"Why are you helping me?"

"Why? Let me think. The visitor pretended to be thinking hard, "Ah, by the way, I think about it, I don't think the three princes of Eastern Qin are pleasing to the eye, I just don't want him to get his wish." ”

Han Yan, "......" but he intuitively felt that the grievances between the people in front of him and the three princes of Eastern Qin were not as simple as he said.

Hanyan thought for a long time before he said softly: "Okay, deal."

"Then I still need to bother that Young Master Han can write a handwritten letter and your token to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so that she can trust the contemptible people."

"No problem, Han will write now." The cold smoke polished the ink, picked up the pen, thought for a moment, sprinkled with joy, and a letter was quickly written. He handed the jade pendant he was wearing to the person in front of him and said, "You give this jade pendant and this letter to the eldest princess when the time comes, and she will leave with you after reading it."

"Okay."

"Your Excellency has done Han such a big favor, but Han still doesn't know who Your Excellency is, where to find Your Excellency when the time comes, please explain."

"The name is just a pronoun, why should Han Gongzi be obsessed with this, if it is done, the contemptible person will inform Han Gongzi. During this period, Han Gongzi only needs to wait with peace of mind, there is no need to send someone to look for him, and I will appear when it is time to appear. After that, he didn't stop long, took what the cold smoke gave him, and jumped down from the window.

By the time the cold smoke looked out of the window, the figure of the man had disappeared into the vast night, and only a few sounds of insects and birds broke the silence of the night.

Everything was back to normal, and if it weren't for the fact that the ink on the table hadn't dried yet, reminding him of what had just happened, he would probably think that everything that had just happened was just his own dream.

Hanyan closed the window and slowly walked towards the bed, but he did not lie down and continue to sleep, but sat there until the sky was slightly white, and he lay down again.

…………

Three days later, somewhere in Eastern Qin.

A motorized carriage drove slowly.

Since entering the territory of Eastern Qin, their speed has slowed down, but Mu Qianxia did not ask out loud,

She believed that all of this had its own decision. Although Gu Li took advantage of her, she still believed in Gu Li's ability.

"Princess, I'm leaving now, we'll see you near the capital, if you have any requirements during this period, you can mention it to Shuofeng, you have to take care of yourself during my absence, pay attention to safety, remember, don't run around." Gu Li's voice broke the calm they had had been during this time. In the past few days, more and more people have been sent by the great prince to assassinate him, although they have all been dealt with secretly by his secret guards, but as they get closer to the capital, the stronger the assassination will be, although he is not afraid of these assassins, but Mu Qianxia does not know martial arts, he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will hurt her, so he decided to leave first and lure those assassins away.

Although Mu Qianxia didn't know what was happening, she could vaguely sense that something was going on secretly since they stepped into the territory of Eastern Qin. The increasingly nervous expressions of the guards, the serious expressions of Shuo Feng, and the increasing amount of time Gu Li had been out to deal with affairs were all signs that things were not as calm as they seemed.

"I, got it." Mu Qianxia said coldly.

Gu Li seemed to want to say something, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't speak.

Just when Gu Li was about to beat the horse and leave, Mu Qianxia suddenly opened the curtain and said, "Gu Li, you, be careful all the way."

Gu Li turned his head and glanced at Mu Qianxia deeply, his eyes were deep and complex, and he said slowly: "Okay."
