Hua Qingmo has always been very curious about this matter. It's just me, there aren't many people who care about themselves, even if they disappear for a year, not many people will care. But Bai Zixiao is very different from himself, because he helped Situ Xuan eradicate dissidents, he had already made too many enemies in the court, and his words and deeds were monitored and calculated. Suddenly disappeared for so long, how could those who hated him not care about it? Once they dig deeper, they will inevitably know Bai Zixiao's identity in Linyue. If those people use Bai Zixiao's identity to make a fuss, then it will inevitably be a big trouble.

At the time of Linyue, Hua Qingmo wanted to ask Bai Zixiao, but she was in Linyue at the time, and it was boring to ask about it. Now that I have come back, I should know what happened.

"This Doge has only been in the month of Linyue for more than five months, and has not been away for as long as you have been for a year. During this time, the governor left on the pretext of helping the emperor arrest Jian Yuheng. Bai Zixiao spoke meaningfully, and the smile in the corners of his lips seemed to be covered with a layer of extremely hazy mist, bewitching but empty. He stretched out his hand and twisted the chess pieces in front of him, and the ruby inlaid on the red gold chess pieces reflected his white transparent fingers, the jade was brilliant, soft and white.

"The map of the Four Princes' Mansion, the Lord of the Governor gave it to Jian Yuheng, he probably also wanted to make a desperate bet, so he took his dead soldiers to find the Ghost Valley, and wanted to turn over with the Death Army, but it's a pity, ......" Bai Zixiao's voice was cold and mixed with a gorgeous brilliance, as if he saw a colorful rainbow light in a piece of snow. His gaze turned to Hua Qingmo, and his dark eyes enveloped her like a dark night, and there was a deep and subtle softness in the darkness. "The slight difference between the four maps pointed the location of the Ghost Valley from the Xiaoyao Kingdom to the Linyue Kingdom, and it took Jian Yuheng nearly a year, but it was just a futile effort."

"Zi Xiao, you have been playing with Jian Yuheng as a chess piece, but he is too clumsy when he enters the game without knowing it." When Hua Qingmo heard Bai Zixiao's words, she just spoke softly, and her tone was slightly cold.

Map of Ghost Valley, this thing really looks like it's been cursed. For thousands of years, countless people have been played. Let them exhaust their efforts to find it, and in the end, they will never be able to get it. So many people have been played with by the map of Guigu for the rest of their lives, but the descendants are still one after another.

When I was in Xiaoyao Country, I heard Baili Chenyuan and others say that Xiaoyao Country did not interact with outsiders, and it was indeed because of the Ghost Valley. But the main reason is not because he is afraid that others will get the secret medicine of the Ghost Valley and create the Death Army, but the main reason is the secret art in the Ghost Valley.

What kind of secret technique it is, Bai Lichen doesn't know it, so he didn't talk to Hua Qingmo carefully. It's just that he heard the ancestors say that the secret techniques in the Ghost Valley can change life against the sky and turn the impossible into a possibility, and it is said that the founding emperor of the Xiaoyao Kingdom was also equipped with dozens of secret techniques in the Ghost Valley, and one person can defeat an army of 100,000 without the slightest harm. If the rumors are true, then whoever obtains this secret art will surely be able to rule the nations.

Indeed, for the sake of their own rights and status, the four royal families of the Xiaoyao Kingdom would rather sacrifice so many children than be obtained by outsiders to obtain the secret art of the Ghost Valley. It's just that in a certain sense, their selfishness has also been exchanged for a period of peace in the world. However, time will explode the contradiction of a qiē, and the practice of the four royal families to close off the country will finally come to an end.

Even if he doesn't have himself this time, Xiaoyao Country is as indifferent to the outside world as it used to be. But after that, someone will break the situation. It's not me, it's someone else.

When she was in the library pavilion, Hua Qingmo also saw a lot of ghost valley secret techniques. However, Hua Qingmo didn't think about using those secret techniques against her enemies in the past. She would rather use a conspiracy to calculate those people, or kill those people outright, and she would never use them. Because those secret techniques are the same as the secret medicine of the Ghost Valley, they are all harmful things, and they are all used at will with the lives of ordinary people.

She herself has harmed a lot of people, when she was in the Falling Soul Cliff, because of the fall of Bai Zixiao from the cliff, she ordered Youyun Sixteen to kill hundreds of soldiers. Even if she has too many blood debts on her body to count, she will not feel the slightest guilt for killing more people. But she wanted to live a peaceful life after all, and it was enough to experience such bloody killings. Moreover, ordinary people have no grudges against her, and she has killed those people because of her selfish desires.

However, the use of the secret art of the Ghost Valley is also considered to be self-defeating, and such an ending is clearly written on the last page of those books that record the secret art of the Ghost Valley.

No good death.

Of course, when she saw those four words for the first time, Hua Qingmo didn't think so, but when these four words appeared after every book, Hua Qingmo really paid attention to these four words. Maybe that's the price, she thought!

"That's a mistake, Mo'er." The corners of Bai Zixiao's lips are slightly raised, and her smile is like a red lotus blooming with all her strength, which is absolutely beautiful on the blue waves, and it is very prosperous. He put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, his eyes fell on the chess pieces at will, and said in a cool voice: "For this governor, those that have use value are chess pieces, and those that have no use value are just playthings to pass the time and amuse. However, this Jian Yuheng, using him to pass the time, the governor dislikes it. ”

Bai Zixiao's words made Hua Qingmo immediately raise her head and stare at him intently. At this time, Bai Zixiao's face hung slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a layer of black silhouette on his eyes. The black crown meets his almost pure white skin, which is shockingly vivid and gorgeous.

"Is he in the Dongchang prison now, or is he in the dungeon of the house?" Hua Qingmo looked at Bai Zixiao for a moment and then asked out loud. Although she has a deep prejudice against Jian Yuheng, she still wants to meet that person before he dies. After all, the bloodshed and death in the East Factory were still sued by this person, and he also gained a lot of insight because of this.

"In the dungeon of the house." After Bai Zixiao finished speaking, he looked at Hua Qingmo and said, "What?" Want to go to the end? ”

Hua Qingmo was made to laugh a little by Bai Zixiao's words, and there was even a shallow smile in her eyes. She reached out and picked up the chess piece that Bai Zixiao had put down just now, and her thumb stroked a soldier character inlaid with rubies on it. Then, she put the word soldier in her own chessboard, and said softly: "Once the soldier crosses the river boundary, it is an extremely good chess piece, Jian Yuheng is on your chessboard, I'm afraid it's not as good as a pawn, isn't it?" ”

"What do you say?" Bai Zixiao opened his mouth meaninglessly, with a slight smile in his voice.

"And who's your car?" Hua Qingmo was not curious about Jian Yuheng, but she wanted to know about it.

"It's still being taught, not in the chess game." After Bai Zixiao finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle, his smile was as light as a jade collision, quiet and cold. He stood up, walked in front of Hua Qingmo, sat down, leaned close to her ear and said, "Mo'er, you are the handsome man in my chessboard, stay in your place and listen to me obediently, you know?" ”

"Isn't Mo'er obedient enough?" When Hua Qingmo heard this, she just gently hooked the corners of her lips and replied to him gently.

"That's who left my daughter alone with me and went out to play alone." Bai Zixiao stared at her sideways, and her dark eyes darkened a bright and prosperous star.

"I'm doing business, not kidding." Hua Qingmo hurriedly retorted, she looked at Bai Zixiao's close eyes, and for a moment she seemed to see a little bit of silent and deep light blurring in his eyes. The light faded and dimmed, and at last it was a touch of eternal blackness. has been by Bai Zixiao's side for so long, she can naturally know some of his temper, and she also knows that he is a little angry at this time.

But this matter is also her fault, if she doesn't go back, she will just throw Mo Mo to Bai Zixiao, and anyone who is afraid of this matter will be angry. Hua Qingmo smiled at Bai Zixiao, quickly changed the topic, and said, "After so many days of traveling, Mo'er wants to go and rest for a while." ”

As soon as she had finished speaking, she got ready to get up and go to rest on the couch. But as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Bai Zixiao's outstretched hand.

"Although I don't blame you for this, but now that I think about it, I still have to punish you again and let you remember it for a long time." Bai Zixiao raised her eyebrows, and a gorgeous smile crossed the corner of her lips.

"Okay, what's the punishment?" Hua Qingmo did not evade the mistakes she had made.

"This Governor remembers that when you were pregnant with Yunshu, it was very painful, and this Governor thinks that kind of lesson is very good. And you won't run around that way. ”

"What......" Before Hua Qingmo could react, Bai Zixiao's lips had been unceremoniously attached, and the tip of her tongue licked her lips lightly. The breaths of the two of them fused together in an instant, as if the ice and snow were melting. The faint fragrance of agarwood and flowers overflowed around the two of them, and the gentle sunlight seemed to shine through a qiē barrier, falling on the softest place in her heart, bright and joyful flowing with shining brilliance.

Fragrant flowers flutter in spring, fluorescent night skies in summer, golden earth in autumn, and catkins in winter. The time of the year rushes by like a glimpse, so fast that people can't even grasp the tail end of time. Although the two have been separated for many days and nights, Hua Qingmo knows that she and Bai Zixiao still have many springs, summers, autumns and winters.

――――――――

Night.

When Hua Qingmo woke up, Bai Zixiao was no longer on the couch. She reached out and touched the place where Bai Zixiao had been lying, and the slightly cool temperature there made Hua Qingmo sigh lightly. She had already guessed that after coming back, Bai Zixiao would definitely be very busy, but Hua Qingmo didn't expect that he would already be busy before the dust of the rush had fallen.

Sitting up from the couch, Hua Qingmo picked up the clean middle coat that was placed on the side and put it on. Then, Hua Qingmo called, and Hua Xu and April walked in and waited for her to dress and make up.

"Madame, you are back at last. This year, a lot has happened. ”
