Chapter 717: Seemingly ruthless but affectionate

As soon as Zhuang Yuan's words came out, Han Mo thought of someone in the flower hall almost instantly.

The last time Li Gu was arrested by the underground black market, the conflict between the West Flower Hall and the Snake King made Han Mo suspect that there must be an inner ghost in the Flower Hall, otherwise Li Gu would not have been able to be known by the people in the underground black market after inquiring about the news for so long.

Li Gu's whereabouts are hidden, but he fell into the hands of the underground black market, which means that Li Gu's whereabouts are mastered by the people in the underground black market.

The officials of the West Flower Hall acted secretly, unless they were betrayed by the inner ghosts, with Li Gu's ability, it would be impossible for the underground black market to find Li Gu, let alone catch Li Gu.

When that incident happened, many dark officials who were originally lurking outside actually gathered at the Misty Water Lake, which made Han Mo very surprised and angry at that time.

Li Gu was arrested, and the less people knew about it, the better, but someone summoned the officials over, nominally to rescue Li Gu and start a war with the underground black market, but in fact, it was to let the officials in the hall know about the matter and see how Han Mo would deal with the matter.

Han Mo knew very well in his heart that fortunately he finally brought back Li Gu, if he went to the underground black market, but he returned without being able to bring Li Gu back, then his prestige in the West Flower Hall would inevitably collapse.

At that time, there were a large number of dark officials waiting in the West Flower Hall of Wushui Lake, just waiting for the outcome of the matter, once he failed, then he would no longer have prestige in the West Flower Hall.

The prestige is degenerate, and if you want to control the West Flower Hall and make the people of the West Flower Hall obey their own control convincingly, it can only be an unattainable luxury.

At this moment, Han Mo finally figured out why the Snake King was assassinated that night.

At that time, only he and the Snake King were in the house, once the Snake King was stabbed, then the people in the underground black market would definitely put the responsibility on themselves, in the face of the person who assassinated the Snake King, even if Han Mo was the director of the West Flower Hall, the people in the underground black market would never hand over Li Gu.

Li Gu couldn't bring it back, so he failed to save people and couldn't explain to the officials in the hall.

Han Mo clenched his fists, his eyes showed a cold look, it turned out that the ultimate goal of the conspiracy was to make himself lose his prestige in the hall and lose the hearts of his subordinates.

Step by step, slowly set together.

Fortunately, Han Mo did not fail.

At that time, Han Mo only took two subordinates and went deep into the territory of the underground black market, saved extravagant hope, and even brought back Li Gu.

Someone gathered officials in the flower hall, originally to let these people see Han Mo's failure, maybe in someone's heart, Han Mo could not succeed, but it backfired, this group of dark officials witnessed Han Mo who was almost alone in the underground black market to bring back Li Gu, which not only failed to achieve the goal of making Han Mo's prestige lost, but made Han Mo more prestigious in the West Flower Hall, and Li Gu, who was rescued by Han Mo, watched Han Mo enter the underground black market alone in order to save himself, and deep down his heart naturally gave birth to some gratitude.

Overhead power!

Zhuang Yuan was right, maybe that person really wanted to do this.

And Han Mo knew about the existence of the inner ghost at that time, but he kept moving, the purpose was very simple, he wanted to find out who the master behind the inner ghost was.

Today, a word wakes up the dreamer!

Han Mo finally knew that the master behind the inner ghost was actually Prince Yan!

……

"You are a child of a family, and if your prince dares to take risks to win you over, what he is planning must be extraordinary." Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "In other words, in his scheme, the two forces in your hands must become his pawns...... At least not to be an obstacle to him. He's sure to think about what you'd do if you said no. The best way is to plant people in these two places and empty your power ......! ”

Han Mo already had great admiration for Zhuang Yuan, and it was not easy to tell him about the ghosts that had appeared in the West Flower Hall, so he just said sincerely: "Teacher, don't worry, students know how to do it!" ”

He took the initiative to get up, picked up the wine jar, and was about to feed Zhuang Yuan to drink, but at this moment, he heard the wooden plank of the window "dong dong" make three sounds, Han Mo immediately put down the wine jar, and his hand was already pressed on the dagger on his waist.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, Shi Lianyun moved quickly, quickly arrived at the window, raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the window panel three times.

Han Mo frowned.

It's so secretive, who else knows?

Zhuang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It's your junior sister who is here!" ”

Han Mo was stunned, but immediately realized that his junior sister was Xiao Lingzhi.

He withdrew his hand from his waist and sat down, looking a little strange, since Yichun County came back, it had been months since he had seen that cold and arrogant beautiful military advisor.

The manor lives in seclusion here, and the only person who knows this place is Xiao Lingzhi except herself.

Shi Lianyun gave a secret signal outside, opened the door, and Xiao Lingzhi, who was wearing a black long dress, came in from outside the door, and was still wearing a black coat, now it is late autumn, and the night is cold, so she wears a natural thickness, but no matter how thick the clothes are, she can't hide her slender and graceful figure.

Xiao Lingzhi was carrying a large package that looked quite heavy, and behind her, the personal maid Xiaojun also came in, and the little girl was carrying two large packages.

Entering the room, Xiao Lingzhi looked up and saw Han Mo sitting at the table.

Han Mo's eyes as black as stars were also looking at Xiao Lingzhi at this time.

I haven't seen her for a few months, Xiao Lingzhi is still so cold and beautiful, with ice skin and snow skin, natural beauty, and a luxurious big coat draped on her body, she looks noble, but she is delicate, but her beautiful face seems to have lost a lot of weight.

The four looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Xiao Jun was surprised when he saw Han Mo on the side, but when he saw that Xiao Lingzhi didn't speak, it was not easy to go up to say hello.

Just looking at each other for a moment, Xiao Lingzhi looked cold and lowered her head slightly.

The atmosphere in the room was very eerie, and it was as silent as death.

Zhuang Yuan looked at Xiao Lingzhi, then at Han Mo, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Lingzhi, it's too cold this day, you don't need to be so diligent in the future." There are 100 miles of road from the capital, don't work too hard. ”

Han Mo finally reacted, walked over quickly, and was about to take Xiao Lingzhi's package, but Xiao Lingzhi was very cold and dodged, took the package to the bedside, put it on the bed, and turned to Shi Lianyun who followed up and said: "Brother Shi, there are several sets of winter clothes here, it's cold down, you can change them." Pointing to the two large packages that Xiaojun put on the bed, he said, "Here are some food and pastries, it is cold, it is not easy to spoil, you can eat it for a few more days." There are also two jars of good wine, one for you and the teacher...... The two of us can't bring too much, so I'll bring some more when we come over in ten days...... There are also supplements brought last time, when Brother Shi boils them, the amount should not be too much, the master's body can only be replenished slowly, not in a hurry! ”

Shi Lianyun was obviously very familiar with Xiao Lingzhi, and arched his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Xiao, I have memorized the girl's words." ”

Xiao Lingzhi's expression was indifferent, but her voice was slightly softer, and she said, "You take care of the teacher, it should be your hard work." She took off the black big box, took a wooden box from Xiaojun's hand, walked to the table, still didn't look at Han Mo, but just said to Zhuang Yuan: "Teacher, it's time to comb your beard and bun!" ”

Zhuang Yuan looked at Xiao Lingzhi gently, and said gently: "Go back and let Lian Yun do it......!" ”

"Brother Shi is a man after all, and his heart is thicker." Xiao Lingzhi picked up a wooden comb, walked behind Zhuang Yuan, looked calm, and began to untie Zhuang Yuan's bun, "Since I'm here, naturally I'll do it!" ”

Zhuang Yuan's messy bun went down, Xiao Lingzhi carefully straightened it, then picked up the wooden comb, and gently and carefully combed Zhuang Yuan's hair, just like a daughter's father after that, it was extremely natural.

Han Mo sat next to him, and Xiao Lingzhi didn't pay attention to it at all, which made General Han feel embarrassed.

After being silent for a while, Han Mo showed a smile that looked as good as possible, and asked softly, "Military advisor...... Is this always good? ”

Xiao Lingzhi didn't look at Han Mo either, but just said a faint "um", which was regarded as a promise.

Zhuang Yuan sighed and said, "Lingzhi, if you have anything in your heart, don't hold it back, your senior brother is here now, you can scold if you want, he doesn't dare to fight back." If he bullies you, I will still be the master for you, even though I am crippled. ”

Xiao Lingzhi bit her lip and didn't speak immediately, just gently combed his hair in a bun, and after a while, she said lightly: "Don't be too careful, teacher." He is a senior brother, and Lingzhi will respect him, as for speaking...... Lingzhi has nothing to say to him! ”

As soon as he said this, Han Mo became more and more embarrassed.

Han Mo was originally a smart person, but in the face of this scene, he didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't have anything to say for a while: "Military advisor...... The military adviser combs his hair, and his skills are really good......! ”

Xiao Lingzhi smiled coldly and said, "I'm not a real nobleman, and I've never regarded myself as a noble lady...... For people like me, these subordinates will naturally do the same thing. ”

When Han Mo heard this, his heart was pounding, this Nizi's words were full of gunpowder.

"Strategist...... No, junior sister, what do you say...... Hey, you know I didn't mean that. Han Mo smiled bitterly.

Xiao Lingzhi said lightly: "I don't care what you mean...... As long as you don't get involved with me, what do you do and what do you say to me? She put down the wooden comb and began to pull up Zhuang Yuan's bun and coil it up for him.

Zhuang Yuan wanted to speak, but although he had the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, he had no means to do anything about this kind of little daughter, so he deliberately closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

Xiao Jun was even more waiting on the side, looking at Han Mo's embarrassed and helpless appearance, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only lower his head and hold back desperately.

As for Shi Lianyun, seeing that the situation was not right, he had already left the room and went outside to hide.

Han Mo's hands were frustrated, this strange atmosphere made him feel really uncomfortable, he wanted to stand up, but he never moved, and only after a while did he smile dryly: "That...... Teacher's side, thanks to you for taking care of you. I have a lot to do, but I don't come much...... Senior sister has worked hard......! ”

Xiao Lingzhi didn't pay attention to it, coiled her hair in a bun, then tied it up with a silk scarf, and stabilized it with a hairpin, then she went to Zhuang Yuan's side, combed Zhuang Yuan's beard with a wooden comb, and then said softly: "Teacher, in that package, in addition to winter clothes, there is also a change of underwear, go back and ask Brother Shi to change it for you." I'm going to rush back before dawn, and I'll come back to see you in ten days, take care of yourself!" ”

Zhuang Yuan opened his eyes and said gently, "Be careful on your way...... The night is dark and the wind is high, so take care. ”

"I know." Xiao Lingzhi put away the dresser and handed it to Xiao Jun, and didn't look at Han Mo at this time, but just ordered: "Xiao Jun, let's go!" Without further ado, he pushed open the door and went out.
