Chapter 224: Let Go and Forgive the Hat King (34)
Lin Du pretended to be arrogant: "You first dissolve the soft tendons for me, and then get me a table of good wine and food, maybe I will be interested in talking to you about this matter." β
The man looked at Lin Du with interest in the mask, and sighed, "He actually likes a girl like you?" Incredible. β
Lin Du couldn't figure out who he was referring to by "he", whether it was Chu Mo or Chu Xi, but she knew that it was definitely not a good thing, "What's wrong with a girl like me?" I'm beautiful and have a good personality. I couldn't find it with a lantern. β
The masked man was noncommittal, and sat casually on the sidelines.
He instructed the guards: "Go and get this girl some food, and bring me the antidote to the soft tendons." β
The guards stepped back and did so.
Lin Du didn't expect this masked man to be quite easy to talk to.
The Shadow Gate was very efficient, and after a while, food and antidotes were brought in.
She took the antidote first, and gradually, she felt her body consciousness return.
She sat upright and began to eat, the food here was not comparable to the Xiangwang Mansion and the Imperial Palace, but after being hungry for a long time, she ate it all.
The masked man was dumbfounded, "You...... Would you like to eat more? β
Let's eat the next meal, just eat eight minutes full, it's good for the body. Lin Du deliberately pretended to be easy and winning, but in fact, she didn't have any chips in her hand.
Eight points full? The masked man was amused by the success.
Lin Du picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Didn't you kidnap me just to threaten Chu Mo?" Just don't bother, the two of us make a deal, don't make a middleman to make the difference, and solve this matter. β
You? The masked man didn't understand Lin Dui's sentence "Don't make the difference between middlemen", but he didn't care.
Obviously, he didn't take Lin Du in his eyes, "If he doesn't like you, you're nothing." You can just make a meat ticket now, and I will serve you delicious food and drink, waiting for him to save you. β
Lin Du didn't actually want to do anything with the masked man at all, she didn't want to make a deal with the middleman to make the difference, she was just tempting.
From the beginning of the man's opening sentence "He actually likes a girl like you", she was suspicious that the masked man knew the "he" in his words, and there was a hint of imperceptible familiarity in his tone.
But she wasn't sure who that "he" was, so she asked.
If "he" was Chu Xi, the masked man would not go on to call Chu Mo "him".
Therefore, the masked man knew Chu Mo.
Since you're so dismissive of my trades? Why did you come to see me in person? Lin Du wanted to make sure if this person was taking Qiao.
The masked man stroked his forehead, "I just want to see what the world-famous No. 1 beauty in Beijing looks like." β
Lin Du didn't expect it to be such a reason, "You've seen it now." β
But that's it. The masked man shook his head, as if it were a pity.
But so? Lin Du couldn't bear it, Lu Tingyi's approach and even her character could be questioned, but with this look, it was definitely crushing, "Could it be that you have seen a girl more beautiful than me?" β
Nature. The masked man smiled softly behind the mask, "You're far worse than her." She is the best-looking girl in the world. β
Looks like there's a story.
Lin Du wanted to investigate, so he guided him: "How beautiful is she?" β
At that time, she was also a famous beauty in Beijing. When she smiled at me, I felt that the whole of Shangjing was blooming. The masked man's tone softened unconsciously.
Lin Du also lowered his tone and disturbed him sparingly, "Then can I still see her?" β
No way. "The masked man was dejected," she died, in the fall of the eighth year after we parted. At that time, all the flowers had fallen, and she had withered. β
It seems that this is a sad story, there are lovers who do not end up married, but instead go on separate sides, and finally the woman dies of depression, and the man shows himself in a mask all day long.
Will the death of the masked male lover be related to the imperial court? That's why he joined the Shadow Gate?
Lin Du hurriedly asked, "Is your joining the Shadow Gate related to the death of that girl?" β
The masked man leaned back in his chair and clasped his arms in his hands, "Want to hear my story?" β
Don't talk about it. Lin Du knew that this kind of person must have a lot of secrets on him, and he was not enough for outsiders.
She changed the question she was interested in: "Then do you know King Qi?" β
King Qi? The masked man reacted, "Yes." β
Lin Du pursed his lips, "Can I ask you something." β
The masked man felt like he had heard a joke and reminded Lin Twilight of her identity, "Please ask me something?" Don't you think it's ridiculous? Miss Prisoner. β
Lin Dui was unaware of the masked man's ridicule, and said bluntly, "Can you not tell Chu Mo that King Qi really had contact with the Shadow Gate in the past and conspired against him." β
Ah. It is rumored in the world that His Royal Highness King An and Princess Xiang had an affair before marriage. Princess Xiang is infatuated with His Royal Highness King An, regardless of her own safety to block the sword for His Royal Highness King An, but she doesn't even have a straight eye on her husband, King Xiang. "The masked man is speechless," It seems that what the world has said is not necessarily true. Do you have feelings for him? β
Lin Du was even more sure of his thoughts, the masked man and Chu Mo had a personal relationship, he called Chu Mo a mouthful of "he", and called Chu Xi a polite and alienated "His Royal Highness King An".
She rubbed her hair and said deliberately: "Chu Mo is so pitiful, I just sympathize with him." He trusted Zhao Mu so much, but Zhao Mu was a member of the Shadow Gate, and the only light in his life was King Qi and his mother, and I didn't want him to be sad anymore. He was miserable. β
She stared into the masked man's eyes, it didn't matter if she couldn't see the expression clearly, the eyes were the windows to the soul, and she didn't believe that the masked man's eyes would reveal anything.
Sympathy? The masked man lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he smiled in a low voice, "You'd better not tell him this for the rest of your life, otherwise he will be even sadder." β
This person was too good at disguise, and Lin Du didn't observe any useful emotions at all.
She couldn't deduce the relationship between Chu Mo and the masked man.
The age of Chu Mo and the masked man, like father and son, is already different.
And among the elders who Chu Mo is familiar with, there is no such number one person.
Is there anything else he hasn't told himself about?
Don't guess. The masked man interrupted Lin Dui's thoughts, "You've been inquiring about my relationship with him, why don't you just ask me?" β
Lin Du asked back, "Will you tell me?" β
I'll tell you, of course. The masked man sighed, "That's a long story." When I was young, I was often in Shangjing, and I was a good friend of King Qi, and he took the initiative to make friends with me. On the surface, the prince of Qi is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, but in fact, the heart of seizing the throne has never died. β
The masked man talked about the old things, and the cloud was light: "He is an unscrupulous person." He helped Chu Mo, and he did risk being attacked by Emperor Chen. But the reason is not so simple, not because he is obsessed with Buddhism and cultivates a bodhisattva heart, but because he wants to use Chu Mo's hatred to help him seize the throne. β
