CHAPTER XII. 3

In the inky night, the majestic Qilutai stands majestically, and the moonlight is like practice, plating it with a layer of plush silver light.

Bai Jinyu looked from afar, thinking about the high platform feast that day, the guest of honor pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and Umu sat in the middle.

He may have left the table for a short time, and coincidentally met the Nine Emperor Princes who also came to the banquet somewhere, or maybe it was simply the Nine Emperor Princes that he deliberately introduced......

The details are inscrutable, but it is certain that Umu must have been in a bad situation at that time. He must have predicted that he was going to encounter a crisis, and this crisis must be so bad that Bai Jinyu would come to the Central Plains to find him.

But why did he finally pin the burden of the summons on a prince who was ignorant? When he left Duoyue, he obviously had more than a dozen warriors with him!

Also, Su Lihua, does she really have news of Umu?

If so, where did she find out?

What is Su Lihua's role in this crisis?

These unanswered doubts came one after another, oppressing Bai Jinyu's head. A gust of wind blew, she woke up, and when she woke up, she was shocked into a cold sweat!

She was already standing at the foot of Qilutai.

Qilutai is the architectural symbol of the yang to the rigid built for the prosperity of the country, and the immortals on the clear and void view of the Lan are lit, and there is a clear decree at the beginning of the construction, and it is strictly forbidden for women to step into its radius of 500 meters, and those who violate it will not be forgiven.

"Who's here?!"

She was really afraid of something, Bai Jinyu was frightened, and a team of torches shone in her direction.

She was shocked, because with her current skills, a group of Ouchi guards could catch her in an instant.

In a hurry, she hurriedly looked for a place to hide, and as soon as she turned around, a black shadow flashed, and instantly dragged her into the darkness.

Bai Jinyu's heart almost jumped out of his throat, thinking that he would definitely die and was caught.

However, if the person who came was a guard of Qilutai, how could he take her to hide? She calmed her mind and turned her head to look—

Sure enough, in the dark, what she saw was Xie Yao's young and quiet face!

A heart finally fell back into the stomach.

Xie Yao glanced at her, and the two of them immediately lowered down to hide. Xie Yao blocked Bai Jinyu behind him, holding his breath and concentrating, his eyes fiercely guarding the actions of the guards on the Qilu platform.

More than a dozen people walked down from the Qilu platform, searched all the way, and soon searched in front of them. Xie Yao pointed at Bai Jinyu to the wall of the deer platform and motioned for her to climb into the air along the wall of the platform.

Bai Jinyu looked up.

The greatest project of the 10-year period of the Great Levy Dynasty, the walls were not generally smooth, and the work was so meticulous that there was not even a single gap, and it would not even be able to hang without superior light work.

It's so hard!

Xie Yao thinks too highly of her!

Bai Jinyu shook his head with a sigh.

Xie Yao must have thought that she was still the same white brocade jade as before, as light as a swallow and flying eaves on the wall, he didn't know...... Seven years ago, the continuous attack for more than ten days made her body almost reorganized, and now she is just an ordinary weak woman!

Xie Yao was full of surprise and puzzlement when he received Bai Jinyu's reply, but he didn't act rashly, and continued to concentrate on staying where he was with her.

The guards searched for them, and if they took a few more steps, they should be exposed.

A layer of cold sweat oozed from Bai Jinyu's forehead, thinking that even if he died, he would also affect Xie Yao's child, which would be a bit of a loss.

Bai Jinyu looked at Xie Yao worriedly, Xie Yao was on one knee and ready to go, his expression was calm, he looked at the person carefully, lowered his eyes and pondered.

Suddenly, Bai Jinyu's eyes flickered, and it was Xie Yao who got up and stood up. Not only did he stand up, but he also greeted the comer and stepped out of the shadows.

"Lord Xie?!"

The people who came quickly recognized Xie Yao, and the pace of progress stopped in time.

"Why is Lord Xie here?" One of the leading generals stepped forward and asked, showing a little joy in surprise.

Xie Yao stood, although his appearance was much younger than that of a cadre, his demeanor was far more mature and stable.

Xie Yao bowed slightly, and said calmly: "General Li Hong, I'm here to find you." ”

Xie Yao is worthy of being Fengchen's attendant, he has been exposed to it for many years, and he really has a bit of Fengchen's true biography in his words and deeds, and the more tense he is, the more calm he is.

Li Hong, who was on the other side, was a little flattered when he heard this, and hurriedly returned the salute to Xie Yao.

When he stood up straight, Xie Yao said with a serious face: "I agree to compete with you, you can pick a day!" ”

When this headless sentence came out, Li Hong was stunned coldly, and he was stunned for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "What does Master Xie still remember?" That...... That was more than two years ago......"

"Hmm." Xie Yao nodded.

Li Hong was dumbfounded, his face was extremely unbearable, he opened his left and right, shrank back and waved his hand to Xie Yao: "No, no need to compare!" ”

"Why?" Xie Yao asked.

Li Hong's face was embarrassed, and he confided embarrassedly: "I can't hide it, two years ago, I would have some martial arts at the end of my own life, and I was unwilling to guard in the palace without a name, so I sent a war letter to the adults, in order to win the adults and make a reputation." ”

Speaking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but clasp his hands into fists and said ashamedly: "The last general was new to the palace guard at that time, and he was short-sighted, thinking that adults were young and weak and easy to defeat...... At the end of these years, I have witnessed the adult Shenwu many times, and I think that I was really overwhelmed back then, and I didn't dare to regenerate the heart of the second. ”

In the face of Li Hong's heartfelt convincing, Xie Yao's face was also always indifferent, and he only said four words lightly at the end: "You are too modest." ”

And then there was no then.

He didn't speak, Li Hong didn't know what to take, and more than a dozen people were clubbed for a while, without saying a word.

Xie Yao is famous for not saying much, and although Li Hong is embarrassed, he is unwilling to end this rare opportunity to meet him. After all, the person in front of him is a young man who became famous, and the king of Jin is servant, usually like a kaolin flower that can only be seen from a distance across the clouds.

What's more, he came here today, which made Li Hong feel happy and beautiful when he thought about it.

"It's a good view to see Qilutai like this." Xie Yao broke the silence.

Li Hong and his left and right hurriedly nodded in agreement, telling him about the beauty of Qiqi Lutai at various times.

"Can you give it to yourself?" Xie Yao's tone was flat, and he didn't understand the feelings at all.

The enthusiastic atmosphere was instantly cold to freezing point, and everyone looked at each other, as if they had instantly learned something very powerful.

"Yes, of course."

Li Hong nodded awkwardly. The Qilutai area is only a scenery in the palace, except for women, as long as Xie Yao does not go on stage, he does not need to control it.

"Thank you!" Xie Yao bowed, and the meaning of farewell could not be more obvious.

At this point, Li Hong was so bored that he had to give a few polite words, and then shirked that he still had official business, so he led his subordinates to leave reluctantly.

After Li Hong left, Xie Yao really stood and watched the scenery for a while, and after confirming that he was safe, he slowly walked back to the dark place and led Bai Jinyu out.

The two of them waited cautiously all the way until they reached the vicinity of Xianzhuo Palace, and then they really let go and ran. The crackling footsteps undoubtedly revealed too much of their inner happiness.

Enter the palace and lock the door.

"Xie Yao, thanks to you, you saved my life!" Bai Jinyu leaned against the door and collapsed.

Xie Yao glanced at her silently, and this glance looked similar to a white eye.

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Jinyu just wanted to discuss with him whether this look was appropriate, but when he saw Xie Yao's expression suddenly return to justice, he bowed his hand and bowed in.

"Your Highness."

Bai Jinyu followed the sound and immediately bounced off the ground.

The line of sight stretched straight forward, and at the end of the road, in front of the door of the inner hall, there was a slender figure standing against the backlight, with the sleeves of the robe hanging down, like a fairy pen.

The figure approached them, and the clear moonlight gradually illuminated his thin face, and the eyebrows like the spring mountains looked especially beautiful in the night, but this beautiful face was a little cold.

"Good, you've worked hard." Fengchen praised Xie Yao, probably because his body had not healed, and his voice was still a little tired.

Bai Jinyu immediately understood why Xie Yao appeared in such a timely manner just now.

Although he was grateful to Feng Chen in his heart, Feng Chen's proximity still made Bai Jinyu feel pressure. She involuntarily stepped back, but as soon as she took half a step back, her heel hit the threshold.

There is no way to avoid the back!

"Your Highness hasn't slept so late?" Bai Jinyu had no choice but to smile and talk awkwardly.

Fengchen: "......"

"Well, it's good to come out at night if you can't sleep!"

Fengchen: "......"

"I'm hungry, what about you, Your Highness? Have you had dinner, right? ”

Fengchen: "......"

Feng Chen's speechlessness again and again gradually formed a momentum, in the face of this silence, any joy and pretense of relaxation are more like avoidance than avoidance itself.

Bai Jinyu closed her mouth and gradually quieted down.

After a long time, Feng Chen glanced at Qilutai in the darkness and asked, "What are you doing in Qilutai?" ”

Feng Chen went straight into it with a single knife, and Bai Jinyu's attempt to cover it up suddenly came to naught in front of this question.

Bai Jinyu couldn't deny that she had been to Qilutai, because Xie Yao was on the side, even if she denied it, it was impossible for Xie Yao to lie to Fengchen.

"I ......" Bai Jinyu hesitated for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he rushed out: "I just want to get your attention!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Feng Chen and Xie Yao's eyes suddenly stopped.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Bai Jinyu immediately regretted it, but if he said it, he couldn't get it back like the water he spilled. What's more, she really couldn't find a better reason for it in a short period of time.

"Hey, I just want to know if you're still angry with me," she didn't look at Feng Chen, her eyes wandered and said, "I want to see if you still care if you live or die for me?" ”

I didn't think there was anything wrong with these words in my head, but as soon as I said it, I had a bit of a coquettish taste, and Bai Jinyu really wanted to slap herself to death. Obviously, Xie Yao also heard this smell, and he immediately silently saluted the two of them and retreated with interest.

"Xie ......" Bai Jinyu wanted to call Xie Yao to stop, but helplessly, the soles of Xie Yao's feet seemed to be smeared with oil, and he ran away in a blink of an eye.

The night was quiet, and the sycamores in the courtyard were silent, and even the wind did not speak.

Bai Jinyu couldn't wait for Feng Chen to speak for a long time, and secretly took a few deep breaths. She began to babble in order to fill the silence: "I'm a layman, so there's only this kind of vulgarity. But I really know that I was wrong now, I apologize to you, and I swear I will never go to Qilutai again. ”

"You look at me." Feng Chen cut off her chatter.

Bai Jinyu stopped, not knowing what Feng Chen meant, but she slowly looked at him, although she was very nervous.

"Say it again."

Bai Jinyu: "What do you say?" ”

Fengchen: "......"

Bai Jinyu: "Oh, uh...... I apologize to you, I swear I'll never go to Qilutai again. ”

Feng Chen: "That's not it. ”

Bai Jinyu: "Isn't it?" ”

"......" Fengchen: "The previous sentence." ”

Bai Jinyu whispered, "Oh...... Well, I said, 'I wonder if you're still mad at me, and if you care if you live or die with me?' ”

Feng Chen stepped forward step by step, and Bai Jinyu's back moved inch by inch against the door wall.

"What are you hiding, aren't you trying to get my attention?"
