Chapter 22: The Hand Behind You
If Gu Shichong knew that she overheard his secret, he would definitely kill people, what should he do now? He Muwan thought in his heart.
Run? But where can she go? Run up to the man and tell him everything you heard? But will he believe it? Even if he believes, what happens after that? Will he be grateful for saving his life and saving himself?
No! He won't! got a negative answer in her heart, He Muwan even couldn't believe that at such a critical juncture, she would whimsically count on that cruel and ruthless man.
Hiding behind the tree trunk, He Muwan didn't dare to look in, listening to the hurried footsteps that became clearer and clearer, she knew that she was about to be exposed.
Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative to go out and pretend to pass by, even if you can't deceive Gu Shichong, but you won't be so embarrassed.
Taking a deep breath, He Muwan was about to lift her feet, but suddenly a big hand reached out from behind her, covering her mouth and nose, and at the same time, her body was also dragged backwards.
Because of fright, He Muwan's ink-like eyes widened at the boss, and she couldn't make a sound, so she could only struggle desperately, but unfortunately it had little effect, and after only a while, she was forcibly pulled behind the rocks.
Xu was afraid that covering her hand too tightly would make her breathless, He Muwan felt that the man's hand covering her mouth and nose was obviously loose, and seized the opportunity, she unceremoniously bit it.
Suddenly in pain, the man's eyebrows were tightly twisted, afraid that making a sound would alarm Gu Shichong, so he could only remain motionless and let her bite down.
The other party's quietness made He Muwan realize that something was wrong, and when she raised her eyes to meet the familiar and unfamiliar face, the panic in her eyes turned into shock, and the movements on her mouth slowly stopped.
At this time, Gu Shichong and Su Zixi happened to come to the tree where He Muwan was hiding just now, but they found it empty.
In the midst of their panic, the father and daughter suddenly heard the sound of "da-da-da" above their heads.
When I looked up, I saw a blue-gray eagle, standing on the branches, pecking at the branches and leaves.
"It turned out to be an eagle!" Seeing this, Su Zixi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Gu Shichong, who was suspicious by nature, did not relax his vigilance, and continued to take a few steps forward, his deep eyes looking around carefully.
Facing Gu Shichong's sharp and cold gaze, He Muwan, who was hiding behind the mountain rocks, raised his eyes nervously and glanced at Bei Yingchen.
In addition to his cold and arrogant face, He Muwan didn't see the slightest wave on the man's face, and he didn't know if Gu Shichong would find it here, He Muwan beat a drum in his heart.
The place where Bei Mingchen took He Muwan to hide was a small "cave" formed naturally by the collapse and stacking of rocks, or a notch, because its space was really small and pitiful, and it could stand two thinner people.
Hidden among the overgrown weeds all around, if you are not very familiar with the Ruiling Palace, you don't know that there is a small "cave" here that is not a cave.
After some consideration, Gu Shichong did not see a single figure in his line of sight, so he finally relieved himself a little.
Seeing that Gu Shichong was still worried, Su Zixi opened his mouth and said with relief: "There is no one around, the voice just now must have been made by that little eagle, father-in-law doesn't have to worry too much!" ”
"Let's hope it's just a false alarm! The original phase will go first, you should be more careful! With a light sigh, Gu Shichong turned around and left.
Seeing the father and daughter walk away, He Muwan's hanging heart finally had a place, and when she turned around, she suddenly found that Bei Mingchen was staring at her intently.
"Everyone is gone, can you let go?"
Hearing the man's voice, He Muwan came back to his senses and realized that just now because of nervousness, his right hand had been tightly grasping the shirt on the man's chest.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, He Muwan quickly let go of his hand, and changed the topic and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"He Muwan, this sentence should be asked by this king, right?"
"Huh?" Regarding the man's question, He Muwan was a little confused, and simply replied casually: "I'm passing by!" ”
"Passing by? Do you think eavesdropping on other people's conversations is what a passerby should do? The phoenix's eyebrows were half upside down, and Bei Yingchen asked in a deep voice.
"I'm excited because I heard them say......" He Muwan almost told everything she had heard, but fortunately, she regained consciousness before she could say anything.
The man in front of him, although he is that person's younger brother and has the same appearance as that person, but they are real two people after all, and He Muwan doesn't know and can't see through Bei Yingchen.
After that person gave her a holy decree to Bei Yingchen, He Muwan even felt that she might never really understand Bei Yingyan.
There is no trust between each other, He Muwan naturally can't rest assured that she will put her life in the hands of Bei Yingchen, and she can't tell him about what she overheard for the time being.
"Did you hear what they said? Say! Seeing that the woman wanted to speak and stopped, Bei Mingchen's eyes were cold, and he took the words and asked.
"I ......" is divided, He Muwan can only retreat step by step under the pressure of Bei Yingchen.
"Haven't you heard that the more people who know, the faster they die? Who is Gu Shichong, do you think you can provoke a little woman? ”
"Our He family and Gu Shichong are mortal enemies, even if I don't provoke him, he won't let me go, but you, Lord Wang, are so close to Gu Shichong, and you are in the company of wolves, aren't you afraid of being eaten and there are no bones left?"
Although it was an unceremonious reply, Bei Mingchen could hear the woman's words implying a reminder of himself, his eyes lit up, and Bei Mingchen paused slightly.
"North Dust! What is the relationship between you and Gu Shichong? With more and more doubts in his heart, He Muwan couldn't help but ask.
"It's not something you should know!" After coming back to his senses, Bei Shenchen recovered his cold voice just now, "What kind of person is Gu Shichong, this king knows very well, this king's affairs, you don't need to worry about it!" ”
"You are the prince of Xichu, the younger brother of the emperor's mother, powerful and wealthy, all of which are hot for you, why do you have to go with Gu Shichong and other corrupt officials and corrupt officials to destroy the ancestral foundation? You should cooperate
It's right to help the emperor to purge the Qing Dynasty and stabilize the Western Chu country! ”
Xiu Mei locked deeply, He Muwan really couldn't understand what Bei Yingchen did.
"Bitter mouth, in the final analysis, you persuaded this king just for the sake of the imperial brother, right? Even if he pushes you to someone else, you can't forget it, you can't let it go, can you? The man's voice was flat, but it was so cold that it could make people shudder.
