Chapter 21: No Matter the Cost

"The master searched for the dark spot on the drawing, and the drawing was fake. The Seven Evils came quickly, and their tone couldn't help but darken when they said the back. The dark spot on the drawing didn't exist.

"It's been a day. Dugu Liancheng whispered silently, as if the smoky phoenix eyes were bottomless, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Master, what should I do next?madam, she ......" The Seven Evils said with a worried face, and looked at Dugu Liancheng with an unknown look, and the words behind him were like thorns stuck in the throat, and they couldn't go up and down.

"How many secret passages does Dugu Lianyu have in Chang'an?" Dugu Liancheng's eyes darkened slightly, and a chill shone between his eyebrows, a day had passed, and he couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise he really didn't dare to think about it.

"But the master ......" Hearing this, the seven evils knew what their master meant, and had heard the people of Qianji Pavilion say that the last time the master borrowed the stronghold in Chang'an to help Mrs. play a golden cicada shell, but because of this, Dugu Lianyu discovered a few strongholds, although it was dealt with in time, but it also lost a lot, thinking of this, his pupils shrank slightly, but before the words of persuasion could be spoken, he was interrupted by Dugu Liancheng's words.

"Seven evils, when will it be your turn to put your beak in the words of this prince. The slightly cool tone contained an undoubted taste, and his face was a little gloomy.

"Lord ......" The seven evil eyebrows narrowed, and his mouth swooped slightly, but he couldn't say a word, he had followed the master for many years, and he knew his temperament to some extent, so he didn't dare to speak, but his heart was burning in a hurry, the stronghold of Qianji Pavilion and Chang'an was the master's hard work for many years, if it was ruined in a flash.

And the Seven Evils didn't know that in Dugu Liancheng's heart, compared to the so-called years of hard work, Ruan Wushuang was very important. Whether he insists on going his own way, or not thinking about the overall situation, he only knows that he can't lose her, no matter what the cost.

At this moment, the little guy who was guarding outside the door hurriedly ran in.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. ”

Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng's complexion did not change, but the dark and gloomy phoenix eyes darkened a little, what can Dugu Lianyu do at this moment?

"How is the fourth brother lately?" Dugu Lianyu said with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but revealed a faint coldness, and his eyes seemed to fall on Dugu Liancheng's somewhat tired face, and he couldn't help sneering secretly in his heart.

Hearing this, the Seven Evils couldn't help but curse in his heart, he just couldn't get used to seeing Dugu Lianyu's face, it really made people feel disgusting.

"When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learn to be so polite?" Dugu Liancheng raised the lamp and took a sip, a little mockery and a little cold and alienation, indifferent, so that people couldn't see any other color at all.

This made Dugu Lianyu, who tried to spy on other things from him, inevitably disappointed, but it was okay, this was the one for Dugu Liancheng.

"The fourth brother is refreshing, and then the palace will be blunt. Dugu Lianyu chuckled twice, and the end of the note suddenly fell full of coldness that hit people to the bone.

Dugu Liancheng raised his eyes and glanced at Dugu Lianyu, then took a sip of his own lamp, and looked like he was listening.

Seeing this, Dugu Lianyu's eyes darkened, and he said, "This palace can release Su Ruan, but as a price, you have to hand over the military power in your hand." ”

Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng hadn't reacted yet, but the Seven Evils were anxious, so they couldn't help blurting out.

"Think twice, master!" It is self-evident what it means to surrender military power.

I saw Dugu Liancheng's face unchanged and raised his hand to signal the Seven Evils not to speak, and the Seven Evils moved when they saw this, but they really didn't say a word. The corners of Dugu Liancheng's mouth hooked slightly, full of mockery and full chill, Dugu Lianyu's wishful thinking is a good one, but if you don't see the object of the calculation clearly, it is really blind.

"Where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come from, and where did he get the confidence that this prince would agree?" Dugu Liancheng sneered.

"Aren't you afraid that this palace will kill Su Ruan?" Dugu Lianyu's face was ruthless, and he said gloomily.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but if you dare to touch her at all, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be the best choice for the funeral. Dugu Liancheng's arrogant and domineering way, and his confident tone, make people dare not have any doubts about this sentence, because Dugu Liancheng has always been a person who does what he says.

He was naturally afraid that Dugu Lianyu would kill Ruan Wushuang, which Dugu Lianyu could naturally spy on, so he simply admitted it bluntly, and he was also serious about the funeral in the latter sentence.

"What a big breath, Bengong will kill her now, Bengong wants to see how you let Bengong bury her for her. Dugu Lianyu's eyes widened angrily, accompanied by the sound of the table shattering when the words fell, it was obvious that he was angered by Dugu Liancheng.

He stood up and made a gesture to leave, and his anger made him forget the purpose of his visit.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to sacrifice the Nine Turns of Exquisite Dragon on the birthday banquet of the Father, you said that if the Father Emperor knows that the Nine Turns of Exquisite Dragon is fake, how long can you sit on the throne of the Prince?"

Hearing this, Dugu Lianyu paused, the anger in his eyes became more and more burning, he turned around stiffly, the green tendons between his foreheads jumped, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched together and fell into the palms.

"Dugu Liancheng!" he gritted his teeth word by word, as if he wanted to break his body into pieces.

Seeing this, the corners of Dugu Liancheng's mouth hooked slightly, his eyes were traceless, and he felt cold.

Ruan Wushuang woke up in a strange room, the air was full of faint sandalwood incense, she lifted the futon, and found that her original clothes had been changed, and the wounds on her body had been treated, she supported herself with both hands, and accidentally pulled the wound, which made her gasp, glanced around, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

As soon as I wanted to get up and stay, I heard a familiar voice coming.

"Wake up. ”

Dugu Liancheng, Ruan Wushuang silently recited in his heart, the corners of his mouth involuntarily grinned, looking for prestige, only to see Dugu Liancheng, who was dressed in white like ink and bamboo, walking in with a meal, and his eyebrows were full of warmth.

"Lonely City. She smiled lightly, but she was aggrieved in her heart, the corners of her mouth collapsed uncontrollably, and the crystal in her eyes overflowed uncontrollably. As if the injured kitten had finally waited for its owner, she knew that her appearance must be hypocritical, but who called the other party Dugu Liancheng?

"I'm here. He smiled suddenly, as if the moon was blooming, and the light was faintly visible.

Hearing this, she only felt that her heart was filled all of a sudden, and it swelled until it reached the tip of her heart, which was both comfortable and warm.

"It smells so good. She closed her eyes and sniffed, she didn't know that she had been imprisoned by Dugu Lianyu for a few days, and the five viscera had already been revolting against the pole, and sure enough, the stomach screamed twice in response to the situation.

"Huh. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile suddenly, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Anyway, acquaintances are familiar, Ruan Wushuang doesn't feel embarrassed, Dugu Liancheng sat down, she consciously carried the meal in the tray, I thought it was some delicious big fish and meat, but it was just a bowl of porridge, but this stomach was hungry, so she didn't pick it.

"Slow down. Seeing her gobbling up as if she hadn't eaten anything in her life, he couldn't help but smile softly, and his hand involuntarily pinned the broken hair covering her forehead behind her ears.

She smacked her lips and licked the corners of her mouth unsatisfied, why did she think this porridge was so delicious? Could it be that she had been hungry for too long?

"Anything else?" she asked.

"Seven evils. Dugu Liancheng smiled, and the seven evils came in response.

"Master. ”

"Bring all the porridge from the kitchen. ”

"Yes. ”

After the Seven Evils left, Ruan Wushuang exhaled, but she only felt a sudden pain in her heart, she couldn't help frowning and gritting her teeth, and her hand involuntarily covered the place where her heart was mouthful, as if she had been bitten by something.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Liancheng frowned, and his gloomy color was between his eyebrows.

"It's fine. Ruan Wushuang pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a light smile, the feeling of being bitten by an insect just now was just a moment, even so, her mind couldn't help but think of what Ruan Yunrou said that day, and the Gu worm that stuffed it into her mouth, could it be that the Gu worm was doing it just now?

"Ruan Wushuang. Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking, he couldn't help but call out loud, but it was not difficult to hear the worry in his words.

"Huh?" She looked back at him.

"What do you want?" he asked nonchalantly, a pair of penetrating phoenix eyes falling on her as if to see her through. It was just from his words that she heard the taste of temptation, and her heart turned.

"I'm thinking that I have been imprisoned by Dugu Lianyu for a few days, and this early dynasty has not been up, where should the old emperor explain. Ruan Wushuang smiled quietly, his eyes did not dodge, but looked at him with a glimmer of light, so that people could not see a flaw.

Listening to Ruan Yunrou say that this Gu is newly made, it means that there is no antidote, and now is a critical moment, she naturally doesn't want him to be distracted by her affairs, especially this is still an "unsolvable" Gu poison, telling him is just adding to his troubles, it is better not to say it.

"It's approaching my father's birthday banquet, and I haven't been in court for a long time. Dugu Liancheng smiled warmly, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the top of her hair. However, he wrote down this account for Dugu Lianyu for the time being, and he dared to hurt her like this.

"I see. Ruan Wushuang nodded clearly, no wonder Dugu Lianyu dared to imprison her, after all, she is now an official of the imperial court, and she is a celebrity next to the old emperor, Dugu Lianyu is how, she will never be imprisoned.

"By the way, where is this!" she asked, glancing at him.

"An annex to the east of the city. ”

"Oh!" she replied clearly, no wonder it was so strange, and it was another place for him to stay.

"Master, Madame's porridge is here. The voice of the Seven Evils came from outside the door.

Hearing the sound, he looked at her and suddenly came to her senses, her eyes seemed to be shining, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth couldn't help but develop a little more.
