Chapter 40: Untie the knot
After Xiao Lian returned to the palace, Long Mo and Long Ziyi were silent on the street at this time, I don't know who spoke first, and it was Long Ziyi who broke the deadlock first.
Long Ziyi thanked and said, "Long Mo, thank you for helping me out of the siege today." ”
Today's situation embarrassed Long Ziyi, if it weren't for Long Mo, she really didn't know how she would end up in such an embarrassing scene.
Long Mo smiled, "Second sister, you also helped me a lot when I was a child, I should do this." ”
"Hmm," Long Ziyi nodded silently and said, "Then I'll go back to the palace first?"
Long Ziyi slowly raised her steps, but this time she walked slowly, or she was a little hesitant, and her eyes trembled as if she was hesitating about something.
"Second sister?" Long Mo suddenly shouted.
Long Ziyi's body trembled, turned to look at Long Mo, and said with a smile: "Long Mo, are you okay?"
Long Mo apologized and said, "I'm sorry for what happened back then!" After all, his methods back then were too extreme, which made Long Ziyi bear an infamy.
Unexpectedly, Long Ziyi suddenly burst into tears at the corners of her eyes, she didn't know how many years she had waited for this sentence, Long Ziyi smiled and said, "The person who should say I'm sorry is me, ninth brother." ”
Back then, Long Mo did not resent Long Ziyi, but told Long Xiang to punish Long Ziyi for grounding, but he was afraid that Long Ziyi would be assassinated by the prince, and it was Long Ziyi who asked him to intercede with his father.
If the prince knew that Long Ziyi had humiliated him like this, he wouldn't dare to hurt Long Ziyi openly because of his identity, but who could guarantee that he wouldn't hurt Long Ziyi secretly.
As a result, Long Mo declared to the public that he couldn't get used to that prince and didn't want his sister to marry him, anyway, he was used to being willful, and he didn't care what outsiders thought.
After Long Mo attacked the prince at night, he made people publicize that Long Ziyi was jealous of his father's favor, and provoked himself to let himself kill the prince, but fortunately he was saved by his father, and he finally woke up, and finally gave Long Xiang a copy of Long Ziyi, so that he could ground Long Ziyi, which gave him the hatred in his heart, and after Long Ziyi came out, he deliberately kept his distance from her, and didn't want to have anything to do with her.
The prince knew about this and suppressed the anger in his heart, and learned that it was the Nine Emperors of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty who couldn't get used to his behavior and wanted to assassinate himself, and he also grounded the wife he was about to marry, and the prince was also angry and walked away on the spot.
After Long Ziyi came out, she was ridiculed by many people, slandered behind her back, jealous of Long Mo, and hurt Long Mo by taking the hands of others, these rumors were flying all over the sky, she didn't care about those people's opinions, she felt very relaxed instead, canceled the marriage contract, she is now a free body, and she doesn't owe him anything Long Mo.
At the beginning, Long Ziyi admitted that she was a little resentful of why Long Mo slandered herself, but as time went by, she seemed to understand Long Mo's intentions.
Over the years, she didn't know Long Mo's good intentions, her attitude towards Long Mo was also for the good of this younger brother, if the prince knew the truth, it was Long Mo who was looking for herself, I am afraid she would not give up, and the princes, princesses, and ministers of the court in the Tianfeng royal family would like Long Mo to suffer losses and make mistakes.
Long Ziyi also complained to Long Mo from that time, complaining that he had nothing to do by himself, why didn't he tell him? Why did he deliberately alienate himself?
She had no choice but to keep her distance from Long Mo, who was originally regarded as a thorn in the eye and a nail in the flesh by the prince and princess for some reasons, and the competition for the throne had already separated their brothers and sisters.
If they were intimate with Long Mo, they would think that they were on Long Mo's side, and I am afraid that they would be even more jealous of the eldest prince and squeeze out Long Mo, and they might even have some crazy moves.
From that time on, Long Ziyi was also slowly recognized by some princesses, and slowly accepted Long Ziyi, hoping to pull into his camp, although he was also a little despised, but compared to the previous snub and harshness, this is already a world of difference, because they have a common enemy.
Long Mo and Long Ziyi glanced at each other, both smiled at each other, the two of them didn't say anything at the moment, they had already read each other's words through their eyes, and there were some words that didn't need to be spoken.
When grievances are a thing of the past, maybe we can read each other.
Long Ziyi was already full of tears on her face and smiled, "Ninth brother, after tonight, you will still be the younger brother who pesters me to play?"
"You will always be my second sister who loves me. Long Mo also smiled.
After Long Mo and Long Ziyi waved goodbye, they breathed a sigh of relief, the knot in their hearts for many years was finally let go, and they could finally sleep well tonight.
Su Yurou came all the way to the side gate of the palace, and suddenly someone came out and quietly took Su Yurou to Yunlang Palace alone.
As soon as Su Yurou stepped into Yunlang Palace, she saw Long Wuming and Long Tian lying comfortably in the arms of the two maids, enjoying this gentle country with their eyes closed.
Su Yurou was angry in her heart when she saw this, and directly grabbed a glass of wine and poured it on Long Wuming's face, waking Long Wuming up at once.
After Long Wuming opened his eyes, Long Tian also felt that something was wrong after seeing Long Wuming being splashed with wine.
Long Tian was furious and asked, "Is there something wrong with you, you ran to my Yunlang Palace to spill it?" ”
The surrounding palace guards were all Long Tian's cronies, and they all drew their swords in an instant, surrounding Su Yurou, their eyes were murderous.
Su Yurou didn't reply, nor did she pay attention to these murderous guards, but looked at Long Wuming quietly.
Long Wuming wiped the wine stains off his face, waved his hand and motioned for all these people to retreat, and in an instant, there were only three of them left in the entire Yunlang Palace.
Long Tian couldn't understand why Long Wuming had a connection with the county lord of the Xingyao Empire, which was Long Mo's maternal uncle's family, but it was their enemy.
Long Wuming motioned to Long Tian not to speak, he would tell him everything about the matter in a while, seeing Long Wuming like this, Long Tiancai suppressed the doubts in his heart, and he decided to interrogate the fifth brother for a while.
Long Wuming was still like a humble gentleman, he opened the fan and motioned to Su Yujudao, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Long Wuming, are you fooling me?" Su Yurou said angrily when she heard Long Wuming's faint tone.
"I'm fooling you?, this starts with harmony?" Long Wuming said with innocent eyes.
It turned out that Su Yurou sent someone to tell Long Wuming that he was in the box at the auction of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce in the morning, and she meant to make a little trouble for Long Mo when he auctioned, but in fact, she wanted to intensify the conflict between Long Mo and Long Wuming.
But who knows that Long Wuming will force Long Mo to a dead end, if it weren't for what method Long Mo used in the end to produce 10,000 spirit stones? If Long Mo had any accidents, I'm afraid that she would suffer at that time?
"Oh, you said this, you are too careful, I don't mean to play with you, it seems that you don't know my ninth brother too well, and you can't imagine his status in my father's heart. When Long Wuming said this, there was a hatred in his tone, and a thick jealousy.
Su Yurou instantly approached Long Wuming and said, "I hope what you said is true?" ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the shocked Long Tian, then looked at Long Wuming, raised a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I hope it won't affect our cooperation." ”
"Of course. Long Wuming picked up his wine glass and smiled.
Su Yurou turned around and left after drinking, and the moment she stepped out of the Yunlang Palace, her eyes were full of sneers and mockery, but they were just pawns of our Xingyao Empire, and then left the palace with a happy heart.
After Long Tian saw Su Yurou leaving, he couldn't wait to ask Long Wuming, "Fifth brother, what the hell is going on?"
"Since you have seen it, then I will tell you that we have been in contact with Yunlang Palace for a long time half a year. Long Wuming said.
"Then why don't you tell me, why?" Long Tian roared angrily, hearing this, Long Tian thought that Long Wuming and the Xingyao Empire had some ulterior secrets.
"Sixth brother, it was the second brother who asked me not to tell you, he said that he was reckless and easy to do bad things, so he will hide it from you first. Long Wuming explained.
"My brother?" Long Tian instantly quieted down, he still respected his brother very much, admired his brother very much, and obeyed his words.
Long Wuming said that it turned out that an agreement was reached between Long Linfeng and the Xingyao Empire more than half a year ago, and no one knew what the specific price would be.
Long Wuming said that he only knew that the price paid by the Xingyao Empire was to fully support the second brother to become the emperor, and the specific actions and plans were all arranged by Long Wuming, and Long Linfeng had no time to care about these things in the Ziyang Sect.
Although Long Linfeng and Long Lang are both disciples of the sect, they all know that whoever is the Lord of the Heavenly Wind has countless resources, and they can reduce a lot of trouble in cultivation, so the two of them are bound to win the throne.
Long Tian suddenly realized, but he was worried, "Fifth brother, the Xingyao Empire is Long Mo's maternal uncle's family, will they really help us?
"Family affection is the cheapest thing at this time, when you have enough chips, hehe, betrayal what, everything is not a problem, not to mention the praying mantis fluttering cicada, the yellow finch is behind, who is the hunter, who is the prey, it's too early to say. ”
Long Tian sneered, "How can there be any family affection in the emperor's family, the ruthless emperor's family since ancient times, maybe today's brothers may be tomorrow's enemies, everyone is actually disguising themselves, who can really win in this game?"
After Long Wuming finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed and went out, leaving only a stunned Long Tian looking at Long Wuming's back.
When Long Wuming turned his back and left the back door, his face was full of undisguised disgust for Long Tian, he was simply insulting himself every day to be with this waste who only knew the color of wine.
Sixth brother, don't blame the fifth brother for being ruthless, your birth and your character are destined to be only a victim in this political struggle.
