From the few words Su Yan responded, Mu Yunduo couldn't determine his thoughts and reactions, but at this moment, his originally calm eyes suddenly rose and fell.

"Brother Su Yan, I can vouch for the well-being of my Mu clan's Jiangshan Guozuo and the people of the West Firmament, no matter what Mu Xiu's ending is, he will no longer have anything to do with my sister."

In fact, when Mu Xiu proposed to take the initiative to inform Su Yan of everything that day, Mu Yunduo was against it, he believed that Su Yan's feelings for his sister had always been the same, but once he knew that he was just a "substitute" for Mu Xiu after his death, could he accept it willingly? This is about a man's sincerity and a man's dignity, not to mention that Su Yan is a general and a small country.

But Mu Xiu was extremely determined, firmly believing that knowing the truth would not make Su Yan resist and give up, on the contrary, he would make up for all the loopholes in this covenant and be foolproof.

Although Mu Yunduo finally compromised with Mu Xiu, there was a doubt in his heart, after all, of all things in the world, the human heart is the most difficult thing to measure, and Mu Yunduo and Mu Xiu did calculate Su Yan and force him into the game. But as long as he has the slightest bit of resistance and distrust, then all plans will stagnate or break down, and even Mu Yunduo thought of the extremely dark side: if Su Yan hated because of love, he would tell Mu Yunyi about everything that happened to Mu Xiu, making everyone grief-stricken.

Therefore, before bringing Su Yan here, Mu Yunduo was also prepared to be on the side, he would never allow his sister to be harmed.

He looked at Su Yan and said secretly in his heart: Su Yan, don't force me to do it.

"Yun Duo, I will be your most credible ally, and I will work with you to protect this secret, so that your sister will have no worries in the future."

"Brother Su Yan......" Mu Yunduo's gaze was still loose, and his heart was also relaxed. It seems that when it comes to understanding Su Yan, only Mu Xiu is the most accurate, and he is the heart of a villain after all.

"When did Mu Xiushi 'die'?"

"Midnight the day before yesterday."

"So when can we start unraveling Gu and saving people?"

"There is still a shortage of poison grass, I have sent someone to get it, and it will be available tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"Can Mu Xiu hold it up like this?"

"There are twin Gu hanging in his body, this state of the living dead can last for seven days, and when everything is complete, it can begin." Mu Yunduo began to instinctively speculate, Su Yan asked the intention of these words, Su Yan was going to marry his sister in three days, did he hope that after his big wedding, Wuyong and Meng Li would save people again?

But he didn't expect what Su Yan said next: "If there are any herbs that can't be found, there may be them in the treasury of the Zhenguo Mansion, if you write to me now, I will go back to find it immediately, and then come back overnight, so that I can start saving people earlier." ”

Mu Yunduo was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's the matter, Yun Duo, is it a rare herb?"

"Nope." Mu Yunduo hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's not something priceless, it's just that you still need a few freshly picked poisonous weeds and poisonous snakes and utensils to solve the Gu, those things are not available in your Guogong Mansion, Meng Li's Ukiyo Zhai has ready-made ones, I have sent someone to get them urgently." ”

When Su Yan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, let's go back to the bamboo house, I want to go and see Mu Xiu." ”

Mu Yunduo looked at Su Yan's back, and fell into deep shame for a moment. Since he was determined to regain the country and ascend to the throne, he could feel that he had changed, and when he encountered anything or heard anything, he would instinctively speculate about the other party's motives first, and even many times, his suspicion had reached the point of darkness and paranoia, he once doubted himself and asked himself again and again, is this a good thing or a bad thing? In the face of people with dissent and evil intentions, such sensitivity and vigilance are of course good, but in the face of a sincere person in Akagi, this suspicion will turn into a sharp weapon, which will not only hurt others, but also lock himself in an ice prison.

However, this is simply an unsolvable problem, because he stands at the top of his power. The visible enemy, blatantly trying to pull him down the mountain; And the invisible man hides in the corner of the ravine where there is no light, waiting for an opportunity to push him down the abyss.

In such a daze, the soles of Mu Yunduo's feet suddenly slipped, and a small pebble fell down the edge of the cliff, Wankong Mountain, which was not very high, looked very steep at night, and the stone disappeared silently into the dark "abyss".

Mu Yunduo looked up at the sky, and found that the moon, which had been hidden by thick clouds, was gradually revealed, and he secretly clenched his hands, as if he had made up his mind.

Even if I become cold, calculating, narrow-minded, suspicious, and even become the person I once hated, I will not waver again, because I have people to protect, and I will not let my sister fall into the abyss.

"Yun Duo, what are you standing there for?" Su Yan, who had already walked a long way, turned around and found that Mu Yunduo was still stunned.

"Oh, I'm coming!"

That night, Su Yan returned to the Guogong Mansion overnight, and Zuo Chen's foreshadowing work was very good, so no one asked him about his whereabouts the day before yesterday on the second day, and he was ordered to go out of the city to the army to do business, and he returned late at night.

In the face of other people, Su Yan was very calm, until he walked through the front yard and saw Mu Yunyi who had just come to the house, Xu was a little sudden, Su Yan suddenly felt a little weak, so his first reaction at a loss was to pretend not to see it, and turned around to slip away.

"Su Yan!"

Although the back garden of the Zhenguo Mansion was full of flowers and trees, and there were small lake rockeries falling in it, Mu Yunyi's eyes were so good that he could easily see Su Yan behind the pavilion.

So Su Yan had no choice but to stop and turn around, and said casually: "Eh, Yunyi, you are here." As he spoke, he approached Mu Yunyi, trying his best to control his expression.

"Well, the little woman sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that she had something to ask me for an idea, and I had nothing to do, so I came early." Saying that, Mu Yunyi looked at the fine sweat on Su Yan's forehead and said curiously: "Where are you going in such a hurry, look at you sweating profusely."

"No, it's a little hot." Su Yan wiped his forehead indiscriminately.

"It's late autumn, how can it be hot?"

I don't know if she was "a thief" or if Mu Yunyi really saw some clues, Su Yan always felt that she was too inquisitive today, so she became more and more flustered, and just wanted to avoid it quickly.

"It turned out that I got up this morning and practiced leg exercises for half an hour, so I was sweating, uh, Yunyi, I want to enter the palace this morning to report to the emperor about the affairs of the army, so I won't accompany you in."

Mu Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Well, it's important to get down to business, you can enter the palace quickly." ”

As soon as they entered Su Wan's courtyard, a group of maidservants saw Mu Yunyi coming as if they were seeing a savior, and hurried to surround them, as if they were afraid that Mu Yunyi would run away.

"Princess, you're here!" Tan'er was the first to speak, and the maids next to her also looked miserable, nodding their heads like pounding garlic.

"What's going on?"
