Chapter 538: A Nightmare of the Heart

The drizzle has not stopped, the sky is dark, the rain through the gaps in the branches and leaves, like a crystal line of water sprinkled in the dense forest, the verdant and tender branches and leaves, exuding a burst of fragrant smell permeated every corner of the dense forest.

This place is dozens of miles away from Shenshan City, it is a relatively remote forest in the wind country, there are many snakes, insects, tigers and leopards, in the wind and rain, you can even hear the sound of tigers and leopards from the depths of the forest.

In the middle of the woods, five or six horses were weaving through the crevices of the dense woods.

At this time, Zhu Xiaoyan had already changed into the costume of a Wind Countryman, and he was walking hand in hand with Han Mo's horse, and not far behind them, there were indifferent red sleeves and two knights dressed in Wind Country clothes.

"Actually...... There is no need to be so troublesome," Zhu Xiaoyan, who had been silent, finally spoke...

Han Mo shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the people of the Wind Country...... They are beasts of the mountains and forests, with a natural sense of smell...... Once the beasts in the mountains go crazy, they are not easy to deal with. He looked back at the two knights who were not far away, and then said calmly: "With their escort, you can avoid a lot of trouble and leave here smoothly." He smiled slightly, "After coming out for a few months, Shen Fei's gang is just afraid that they have been worried about you, and going back earlier will also make them feel at ease."

Shen Fei, Han Bitu, and Liang Juan are the three captains of the three cavalry captains of the wind cavalry, not only Han Mo's henchmen, but also Zhu Xiaoyan's subordinates, and the relationship with Zhu Xiaoyan is also very deep.

Zhu Xiaoyan's face was expressionless, he glanced at Han Mo, and finally asked, "You...... When to leave? ”

"When it's time to leave, you will leave"

"Stay, there will be trouble" Zhu Xiaoyan thought for a while and said slowly: "Why don't you leave together?" ”

Han Mo shook his head, "The mess must be dealt with, otherwise even if you go, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future." Staring at Zhu Xiaoyan, he smiled slightly, and said, "This time...... Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Xiaoyan and Han Mo's eyes met, and after a while, he said calmly: "Take care" Without saying any more, he shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse to leave, and the two knights beside the red sleeves immediately hit their horses to catch up, and followed Zhu Xiaoyan away.

Between men, sometimes it is not necessary to express their feelings in words.

Because of Han Mo's words, Zhu Xiaoyan traveled thousands of miles to the Wind Country, went through hardships and dangers, and died nine times in order to complete Han Mo's orders. And Han Mo disregarded his noble status, hid his identity and entered the Wind Country, took a huge risk to sneak into Shenshan City, and used clever tricks to rescue Zhu Xiaoyan.

Every step of the way after the two of them entered the country of wind was difficult and dangerous, but when they met, a look and a word were enough

Bidding farewell to Zhu Xiaoyan, Han Mo led the red sleeves to the Guan Trade House to return.

He also knew very well in his heart that if he left with Zhu Xiaoyan at this time, then the Guan trading line would definitely fall into an unprecedented crisis.

In fact, Han Mo knew very well in his heart that leaving at this time was actually the best choice, because once he and Zhu Xiaoyan walked out of the border of the Wind Country, even if the people of the Wind Country found out their identity in hindsight, but without any evidence, the people of the Wind Country had no way to deal with themselves, at least the people of the Wind Country no longer had any evidence to negotiate with the Yan Kingdom on the surface, even if they were resentful in their hearts, they could only secretly send people to take revenge on the Han family, but in the realm of the Yan Kingdom, the Han family naturally would not be afraid of the enemy's secret attack...

In the environment of the Yan family's hegemony, the important members of the family have all encountered the shadow of assassination to a greater or lesser extent, and everyone has their own set of methods to deal with this method.

Han Mo stayed, and it wasn't really that he couldn't bear to throw the mess to Guan Mu to deal with.

It's just that he has always felt that Guan Mu is helping himself so wholeheartedly, of course, not just because of Guan Shaohe, there seem to be some other doorways in between...

The affectionate energy shown by Guan Muding's help made Han Mo only feel that this old guy still had a lot to say.

Han Mo naturally had difficulty guessing the real reason behind Guan Muding's help.

In Han Mo's eyes, the Guan family at this time must be a first-class prosperous family in Qingguo, and it was naturally difficult for him to think that such a family that was in the middle of the day in Qingguo had already begun to consider the way back when it fell into the trough from this moment.

He could feel that Guan Mu had the intention of wooing him, and deep down in his own heart, why was he unwilling to establish a good relationship with the Guan Trading Company...

The extremely sound intelligence system of the Guan Trading House is extremely attractive to Han Mo, and if he can make use of such an intelligence system, it would be a wonderful thing.

Therefore, he knew very well that once he left, then in the eyes of Guan's trading house, he would definitely be an extremely ruthless person, and even more a person without morality.

As a result, it will be impossible to establish a good relationship with the Guan trading house in the future, and there will even be a rift in the relationship with the Guan Shaohe on the other side of the East China Sea.

Of course, this is what Han Mo does not want to see.

What's more, although Zhu Xiaoyan was rescued, there was still one person who had not been inquired about, and the nervous hero Bai Yelang was nowhere to be found...

After all, it was someone sent by Han Mo, if he didn't care about it, it wouldn't be Han Mo's character.

A man always has to have some responsibility

The two of them did not gallop on their horses, but walked slowly through the thick forest, which was extremely dark, and the gaps between the trunks were extremely tight, and if they were desperate to urge the horses forward, they would have injured the horses.

In the depths of the forest, there were bursts of tiger and wolf roars, but the two of them had no fear.

The "red sleeves" horse walked slowly, Han Mo finally broke the silence with his mouth, turned to look at Xue Hongsleeves, and there was a smile in his eyes: "The medicine you prepared is really useful, this time the operation was successful, and you have a lot of credit."

Red Sleeves said lightly: "The poison I matched." It will be more useful to see the blood seal the throat...... You can also come to me when you want."

Han Mo smiled, "With you by your side, it's like a hundred medicine boxes, any medicine can be prepared, and any poison can be cured...... It's a good thing you're my person, otherwise it's really troublesome to have an opponent like you."

Red Sleeves frowned, glanced at Han Mo, and looked cold...

"I said something wrong?" Seeing that there was something wrong with the red sleeves' expression, Han Mo couldn't help asking.

Red Sleeves said lightly: "I can't prepare everything, and I can't cure any poison...... There's nothing wrong with adults being my boss, but ...... Adults speak very clearly, I ...... I don't like you to say that."

Han Mo was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this girl really likes to pick thorns in her words, praise her, and she also has to refute it with words, but what makes her dissatisfied is probably the sentence "You are my person", when Han Mo said this, he didn't mean anything else, but it was always a little weird to say this kind of thing to a girl's family, and it was always a little inappropriate...

Han Mo smiled slightly, knowing that Red Sleeves had always been taciturn and difficult to communicate, even if he said a few words occasionally, it was also cold and hard.

"When did you start learning to make medicines?" Han Mo changed the subject and asked.

Red Sleeves was still expressionless, silent for a while, and finally said: "Five years old"

Han Mo was stunned for a moment, and then narrowed his eyes: "Five-year-old ......" felt a trace of sadness for this woman in his heart, and more sympathy.

Five-year-old girl, this is leaning on the arms of her parents to be spoiled, innocent, not understanding affairs, most girls at this age, a piece of innocence, in their eyes, the sky is blue, the grass is green, the flowers are red...

It was a time for them to enjoy a happy childhood.

The precocious girls only embroidered and sewed with their mothers and learned handicrafts.

But the frost-like girl in front of her is so sad that at that age, she is in the company of poison all day long

"I was adopted by my father-in-law when I was two years old" Red Sleeves looked calm and said lightly: "She treats me like a mountain...... Everything I know is what he taught me bit by bit."

"Teach you to kill, teach you to develop poison?" Han Mo sighed, at this moment, he didn't know how to evaluate the old ancestor of the West Flower Hall.

An innocent girl, in his hands, became a mechanical killing tool

Red Sleeves turned his head and looked cold, "You...... What does this mean? She didn't seem to regard Han Mo as her boss at this time, and there was a chill in those watery eyes.

Han Mo shook his head with a wry smile and asked, "What about ...... At what age did you start killing people? ”

Red Sleeves retracted his cold gaze, took the reins of the horse, and walked slowly with Han Mo in the dark forest, the drizzle did not stop, but the two of them were already wet by the rain.

"Nine-year-old," Red Sleeves said slowly.

"Who did you kill?" Han Mo turned his head to look at Red Sleeves and asked softly, "Is it a spy from an enemy country?" ”

Red Sleeves groaned for a moment, a strange look appeared on his face, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and then he lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and after a long time, he asked, "In the file...... You should be able to see it."

Han Mo sighed: "The archives in the archives are thick, and it will be difficult to read them without spending a year and a half."

"It's a woman," Red Sleeves said calmly, "I'm pretending to be a beggar...... The woman was nice and led me to her house...... Her husband was a spy for the enemy, and I was just ordered to kill her. Speaking of this, she was silent, and after a while, she said lightly: "When I made a move, she blocked that blow for her husband...... So, she died...... The first person to die at my hands ......"

Han Mo frowned.

Although Red Sleeves' voice was calm, Han Mo could feel that deep in her heart, she might have been haunted by this shadow, and that dead woman might have become a nightmare in Red Sleeves' heart, accompanying her every day.
