As the thirteenth master who leads the Yu family's business house, King Ying Ning has a shrewd and keen mind, and his ability to figure out people's hearts is also superior.

King Ying Ning raised the corners of his lips, "Since Fenghua's entourage stopped the car and begged you to save Fenghua, this king knew that you would have plans to leave the mansion. I just didn't expect you to want to return the rosary beads to this king. ”

Ruoxin shook her head and said with a smile: "Although Ah Li has no heart and lungs, he is deeply favored by the prince, how can he be embarrassed to owe the prince again." It must have taken a lot of effort to find the rosary, but Ah Li really had no face and didn't work hard. ”

King Ying Ning looked at Ruoxin and said meaningfully: "The world is as short as a spring dream, and human affection is as thin as autumn clouds. This king has always thought that this is the same thing between people. The royal struggle for power, deceit, and seeing too much mutual use and deception, to be honest, I was still a little moved when I saw that you were really your guard. You can still be like this with a mere woman, and this king, as a man, will not ignore your life and death for a few things outside his body. ”

King Ying Ning removed the wrench of his left hand, pulled Ruoxin's hand, and put it into Ruoxin's thumb. The similar movements made King Ying Ning pause, and he looked up at Ruoxin's face, thoughtful.

"Lord Wang?"

King Ying Ning returned to his senses, "What's the matter?" ”

Ruoxin glanced down at the wrench in her hand and hesitated, "Why did the prince ...... this wrench?"

King Ying Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you always want the Soul Suppression Stone in the hands of this king?" That's it. Now that you have these, you should be able to live a longer life, but don't let this king down. As for the remaining rosary, the king will continue to send people to find it. ”

I didn't know King Yingning and got along with him for a long time, but now, Ruoxin was still deeply moved in her heart. Although he is a royal man, he is frivolous on the surface, but he is indeed a person with affection.

Rubbing the cold temperature between her fingers, Ruoxin said seriously: "Inheriting the prince's virtue, if he needs it in the future, Ah Li will definitely help." ”

"Well, don't say any more of these polite words. It's late at night, so if you start tomorrow, you might as well rest early. The king was also a little tired, so he went to sleep first. After speaking, King Ying Ning stopped looking at her, hid a faint trace of regret in his heart, turned around, stretched his arms lazily, and walked towards the back room.

......

Walking out of the door, Ruoxin gently closed the door. Turning around, she looked up at the sky, and there was no starlight in the gray night, as if she had an uncertain future.

She'll never give up, though.

Taking a deep breath, Ruoxin suddenly heard the sound of Sisuo coming from the side of the room, Ruoxin was suspicious, and walked over with light steps. Bypassing the corner outside the house, Ruoxin leaned out to take a look, and saw Guan Dashao sneakily bending over and hiding under the windowsill of King Yingning's bedroom, with his ears pressed against the wall.

Probably not hearing the sound, he quietly shifted again, and put his ear to the wooden window.

Frowning and muttering quietly, Guan Dashao raised his head inadvertently, and his eyes were facing Ruoxin.

"Ah-" was caught and startled again, Guan Dashao screamed, and jumped up a little embarrassed.

"Young Master Guan, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, this ......" he raised his hand and pretended to cough, and said, "Young Master Ben couldn't sleep, so he walked around and accidentally came here." ”

Without exposing Guan Da Shao's lies, Ruoxin nodded, "Young Master Guan should go back earlier." It's getting late, and if Young Master Guan is still wandering around, it won't be good to be considered a flower thief. ”

"Young Master Ben is not a flower thief." Guan Dashao blushed, "Besides, the women in the palace are all women of Brother Ying, and it will not be their turn for Young Master to pick them." ”

Ruoxin was amused, turned around and took a step, and said as she walked: "Since that's the case, then let's go, but do you want me to take you back to your yard?" ”

"Wait, Master Ben hasn't finished his words yet." Seeing that Ruoxin was leaving, Guan Jingtian rushed to Ruoxin to stop him with an arrow, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Hey, are you leaving the palace?" ”

"Did you hear it all?"

Guan Dashao snorted very dissatisfied, "Young Master Ben thinks that you are very weird at night, and you are currying favor with Young Master Ben for no reason, and your attitude is so strange, so I followed." Do you think Young Master Ben is stupid? I don't want to think about who Young Master Ben is, how can he be so easily deceived by you. Don't you want to leave Master Ben behind. ”

Ruoxin sighed, knowing that if he knew that she was leaving, he would definitely follow her again.

"I'm not going to play, the place I'm going to is dangerous."

The bright eyes narrowed slightly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Guan Dashao gritted his teeth and said, "Dead woman, don't look down on Young Master Ben." You can go to dangerous places, but can't Young Master Ben go? If you don't let me go, Young Master Ben will go by himself, Ke Lan, right? Young Master Ben has money, and he is afraid that he will not be able to go if he hires someone. ”

"Young Master Guan, don't be kidding."

"Young Master Ben is not joking, I said that I must prove to you that I am not a coward and not a wreck. Young Master Ben said that if he wants to help you, he must help you. ”

After Guan Jingtian finished speaking, he pursed his lips, and his face was very serious and stubborn, just looking at her fixedly.

I really don't know where Young Master Guan got his perseverance and perseverance.

But after a period of getting along, Ruoxin knew that although Guan Jingtian was simple, he would definitely do what he said, if she refused to walk with him, she really believed that he would find a way to follow her.

If something happens because of it, she will be to blame.

Ruoxin looked at Guan Jingtian helplessly and said, "Whatever you want, if something really happens at that time, I can't protect you." ”

Guan Dashao's eyes lit up suddenly, he raised his chin, patted his chest, and said, "Manly man, how can you ask a woman to protect you, naturally it is Young Master Ben who protects you." ”

With his imposing words, his stomach also "growled-" and screamed.

Young Master Guan was in good spirits, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he took Ruoxin's hand and ran out.

"Where are you taking me?"

Young Master Guan hurried all the way, "Find the old man in the kitchen to cook and eat." I sat with you all day, but I starved to death. ”

"So late, they went to bed early."

Guan Jingtian turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth very proudly, "Don't you look at who Young Master Ben is?" Seeing that you were in a bad mood in the afternoon, Young Master Ben stayed outside and didn't let people come in to disturb you. He ordered the old guys in the kitchen not to sleep at night, and to be on standby, so that when you were hungry, you would have a hot meal to eat. What do you think? Young Master Ben is amazing, don't you admire it very much. As soon as the words fell, he let out an "oops", and the whole person staggered a few steps.

It turned out that Guan Dashao got carried away, just showing off with Ruoxin and didn't look at the road, and knocked the stones on the ground. If Ruoxin pulls it, I'm afraid that I will fall into the mud.

Ruoxin finally couldn't help laughing, "Young Master Guan, you are too arrogant, you don't respect the old and respect the virtuous, and God can't look at it." ”

"Humph!" Young Master Guan, who finally stood firmly, snorted out of anger, kicked the stone that embarrassed him angrily, and looked back at Ruoxin who couldn't help laughing, but Guan Dashao's eyes were also very happy, with a little sweetness.

......

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Ruoxin and Pingqing Qiu greeted each other privately, and then left the palace with Guan Jingtian and Mo Mo.

It's a pity that King Ying Ning has already gone out and has no chance to say goodbye to him.

When they came to the house in the outer city, Tsing Yi and Chenlian were waiting anxiously, and they were relieved to see Ruoxin. Without delay, several people got into the carriage prepared by King Yingning, and set off on the road in a hurry.

Dongheng Capital is about a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from the ghost town of Kelan. The group traveled day and night, and five days later, in the evening, they arrived at the nearest town to the ghost town of Kelan.

Rushing to an inn, Tsing Yi found a mark carved in stone in a corner of the outer wall of the inn, and Tsing Yi pointed to the mark and said happily: "This is it, the son has not left yet." ”

Ruoxin's heart that had been mentioned along the way also relaxed a little after hearing this, she nodded and said, "That's good, it's still too late." ”

After entering the inn and asking the shopkeeper, Ruoxin and her party came to a guest room on the second floor.

Ruoxin stood in front of the door, raised her hand and quietly placed it on the door, silent for a long time.

"Ruoxin girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ruoxin hadn't moved for a long time, Tsing Yi asked softly.

Ruoxin came back from her contemplation, she smiled and shook her head, took a deep breath, and was about to knock on the door, when the door "babbled" and was opened from the inside.

Ruoxin's heart shook, and her eyes stared at the man in front of her without blinking.

Fenghua's eyes were half-closed, he covered his mouth with one hand, and coughed suppressedly. He hadn't expected so many people standing at the door, and he hadn't expected to see the woman he thought he would never see again.

The moment she raised her eyes to Ruoxin, Fenghua's movements froze, her dark pupils shrank suddenly, and her deep eyes instantly revealed all kinds of emotions.

The Adam's apple floated up and down, and the pale lips opened and closed, but there was no sound.

He looked thinner than he had been a little over a month ago, and his clean white robe looked a little empty. In the past, the eyebrows that were light and breezy are now full of exhaustion; The back of the hand was also scratched by spikes.

Marks of scratches from spikes......

Thorns?

It is rumored that the vicinity of the ghost town is covered with thorns for miles, and the thorns cover the road and block people who want to enter the ghost town.

On the back of the bare hand, the scars spread all the way into the cuffs.

I'm afraid there are more on him.

Was he looking for a way into the ghost town?

The heart wall that had been built long ago collapsed at this moment, and looking at the grace that had reduced a lot of haggard in front of her, Ruoxin's heart twitched unconsciously. Holding back her complicated feelings, Ruoxin tried to float a smile and said softly: "Fenghua, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
