Chapter 33: The Sword Hides in the Night

Nighthawk sighed in his heart, turned around and told Mo Huaining this, and when he said it, he looked aggrieved and almost cried.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates really don't understand, it's just a girl who has only seen one face, even if it is the princess of King Qi, what does it have to do with us, why do we have to spend so much effort to help her?"

Still thankless, Nighthawk added in his heart, not daring to say it.

Mo Huaining's whole body was soaked in the steamy hot spring, the water floated, shattering the moonlight, a few strands of long hair hung wet on his chest, and the strong chest muscles behind him were half covered and half hidden.

Hearing Nighthawk's complaint, Mo Huaining's originally tightly knit brows loosened a little, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"She's a smart girl."

"Lord Wang, what is your intention in doing this, forgive your subordinates for being stupid, even if we help that girl escape, with the two weak women, they will definitely not be able to live, but we are involved in the affairs of King Qi, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

"There were a lot of troublesome things before, and I didn't see you complain."

Mo Huaining's body sank, leaving only his shoulders exposed, but the expression on his face was not as relaxed as just now, as if he was enduring something.

"However, now that we have all returned, didn't you also say that this is the Water Moon Country."

Nighthawk asked with some puzzlement, weren't all the efforts they made when they were in the Great Liang Kingdom just to be able to seek freedom and no longer be calculated by others, and now that they are fortunate to come back, why did the prince take the initiative to find trouble?

"What about the Water Moon Country?"

Mo Huaining asked rhetorically, and Nighthawk was even more puzzled, "The Water Moon Country is our mother country, and the emperor is the elder brother of the prince. ”

"Nighthawk, don't forget." Mo Huaining opened his eyes and glanced at Nighthawk, his eyes were deep, "It was this brother who sent us away from our homeland and made this king a proton and suffered. ”

Nighthawk was silent, indeed the prince only said that they had returned to their home country, and they didn't have to go around as before, but he didn't say that he would get back together with the emperor, after all, they didn't have much intersection before, it was only because of the matter of the proton that the emperor's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, and how much of it was out of brotherhood, everyone must be able to guess.

"So, Lord Wang, you are just doing this to make some trouble for the emperor?"

Nighthawk made a bold guess, and after speaking, he received Mo Huaining's cold swishing gaze.

"Does this king seem to be such a boring person?"

Nighthawk closed his mouth, but he was more sure in his heart, absolutely yes, the prince would only look at people with this kind of eyes when he was told by others.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slander, even if he was looking for trouble, tell him directly, wouldn't it work, such a roundabout, he knew that he wouldn't take that girl to the mountains to eat roast chicken, he thought that the prince was going to make friends.

"You can dispose of these things as you like."

Mo Huaining didn't glance at the burden from beginning to end, and at this moment, he told Nighthawk in an extremely casual tone.

Where does Nighthawk dare to dispose of it at will, although with the prince's current financial resources, these things are nothing, but after all, this is the girl's intention for the prince.

"Lord Wang, that girl has said this, do we also have to say that if the prince still hides his identity like this, the girl is vigilant, maybe it will destroy the prince's plan at that time."

Nighthawk said and spoke, suddenly, suddenly there was a feeling of coldness in his back, and when he looked up, sure enough, Mo Huaining was looking at him with a meaningful face, "What is the plan of this king?" ”

"Uh......" The Emperor's plan to make trouble, Nighthawk reacted to something wrong, cleared his throat, and seriously broke the topic back, "Help that girl's plan." ”

"Since the prince has the intention to help her, but now Miss Ding is on guard against us, if something happens halfway, won't we fall short?"

Mo Huaining didn't care much, and asked, "How is her situation now?" ”

"Last time, the subordinates just mentioned it casually, and the girl went back and really found King Qi's weakness, but she was a little ...... Uh, I don't know how to be flexible, I'm a little injured, and now I'm weaker than before, and I'm dragging a newly acquired little guy, the two of them are in the side courtyard, the only difference is that there are many guards from the Qi Palace. ”

"Where's the guard?"

"This, my subordinates don't know either, but looking at their appearance, it doesn't look like surveillance, but it looks like they are going to protect Miss Ding, although this group of people has mediocre martial arts, but they can be regarded as conscientious."

Nighthawk remembered that he had almost been discovered, and reluctantly added.

"I was able to get shelter." A hint of interest appeared on Mo Huaining's face, "If this girl did it herself, it would be a bit interesting." ”

Nighthawk felt that this expression was a little familiar, in the past, the prince was in the Great Liang Kingdom, in order to develop and expand his power, he was eager to seek talents, and whenever he encountered something that could be made, he would show such an expression.

However, the other party is a weak woman, not the same as those women who lick blood with knives on the rivers and lakes.

Not to mention...... Nighthawk remembered the picture of Miss Ding and Qingying hugging each other, and suddenly felt even more panicked in her heart, and there was a faint pain.

"It's smart, but it's weak. You don't have to explain anything to her, just do it as usual. ”

"My subordinates understand."

Mo Huaining stopped talking, only leaning intently, squinting his eyes as if in a dream.

Nighthawk stood by with great skill, and occasionally heard the sound of a rustle in the woods.

The night breeze is light, the starry river is flowing overhead, and the clear light is shining, falling on the peerless face, reflecting the faint sorrow at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows.

Nighthawk sighed in his heart, the prince was once killed by a traitor when he was in the Great Liang Kingdom, his body was highly poisonous, and he picked up a life in nine deaths, but his body had fallen to the root of the disease, and he needed regular medicine to recuperate, fortunately, the mountains and rivers of the Water Moon Country were beautiful, and they quickly found such a good natural medicine spring after they came back.

I have to say, God has mercy.

Just as he was sighing, there was a sudden noise in front of him, and Nighthawk's eyes lit up, and the sword was unsheathed in an instant.

"Who?"

"Duan Lan."

Nighthawk frowned, his sword-wielding hand down, but still in an alert posture.

The visitor pushed through the grass and approached and saluted respectfully to the people in the hot spring.

"Lord Wang."

"But there's news about the Moon Lady?"

Duan Lan bent her body even lower when she heard this, "Lord Wang, forgive my subordinates for their incompetence, and I haven't been able to find Yue Niangzi yet, but, judging from the news of the inquiry, Yue Niangzi went south from the extreme north and came to the vicinity of the imperial city, and there was no news, and the subordinates in the Quartet City all sent people to investigate, but they found nothing, so the subordinates boldly guessed that the Yue Niangzi was very likely to be in this imperial city." ”

Mo Huaining opened his eyes, his long eyelashes were tired from being dyed with moisture, and even his gaze was not as sharp as usual.

"In the Imperial City?"

He sighed in his words, I don't know whether he is disappointed or helpless about this news, in short, it doesn't seem to be as happy as he imagined, it stands to reason that the moon lady is a genius, and now the scope of the news has been narrowed, why is the prince a little unhappy?

The two people present couldn't understand Mo Huaining's thoughts, so Duan Lan had to continue to ask, "Lord Wang, do you withdraw the search manpower in the Quartet City and focus on searching the Imperial City?" ”

"No, just send a secret guard to search, remember, keep a low profile."

Duan Lan was stunned for a moment, "The subordinates understand, the subordinates retreat." ”

Mo Huaining looked at the fleeting back and let out a long breath.

"Lord Wang, are you unhappy?"

Nighthawk has been by Mo Huaining's side since he was a child, and he is very sensitive to Mo Huaining's subtle emotional changes.

"This water is too entangled, and my hands and feet are already soft after only soaking for a while, this king is a little tired."

"So, do you want to go back now?"

Mo Huaining shook his head, "I am sick, how can I come and go as I wish?" ”

Nighthawk was stunned, then knelt on one knee on the ground, raised his hand and hugged his fist, "Lord Wang, your subordinates are narrow-minded, and please teach the prince." ”

Mo Huaining curled the corners of his lips with satisfaction, in the end, it was a tacit understanding of many years of living and dying together, so although Nighthawk was not very smart, it was very much in line with his heart.

"Nighthawk, do you remember Dugu Yan, the tenth prince of the Great Liang Kingdom?"

"My subordinates remember that when we first arrived in Daliang Kingdom, Dugu Yan was still a child under the age of ten, very intelligent, and deeply loved by the monarch of Daliang Kingdom, but, later, for some reason, he gradually became the most inconspicuous of the princes, and the monarch of Daliang Kingdom rarely mentioned this prince again."

"Do you know why?"

"Subordinates are stupid." Nighthawk bowed his head.

"Everyone knows that Dugu Yan is talented and intelligent, and some people even speculate that he will inherit the throne of the monarch in the future, Dugu Yan has a keen mind and must have noticed this."

"What does the prince mean is that Dugu Yan deliberately reins in his edge to prevent the tree from making a big move?"

"Not only that, the sword is hidden in the night, killing people invisibly, he has the same ambition as the monarch of the Great Liang Kingdom. Although in the eyes of others, Dugu Yan is now just a prince who is not very outstanding, but the power behind him should not be underestimated. ”

"Therefore, even if we return to our mother country, we still have to continue to grow and develop our own power and seek self-protection, but no one in the Water Moon Country wants to be unfavorable to the prince......" Nighthawk said as he spoke, suddenly reacted to something, and suddenly widened his eyes, "Lord, is it possible that you want to ......"

Mo Huaining's throat moved, the struggling emotions in his eyes flashed, and finally nodded.

A gust of night wind blew, and the sky fell silent for a moment, and it seemed that only two people were looking at each other, one shocked, the other calm.

"Lord Wang, is this true?"

"Nighthawk, this king knows that you don't like to fight since you were a child, for this king, you have been stained with blood, and now you have returned to your homeland, but this king can't let go of the nightmares of those years, you and me, no more than others, today this king confessed to you, whether to go or stay, you decide for yourself."

Nighthawk's lips moved, his sword-wielding hand trembled slightly, and his knees on the ground seemed to have roots.

I don't know how much it struggled, Nighthawk finally buried his head and leaned over.

"Subordinate, swear to follow the prince to the death!"

Qi Wangfu.

It was noon, and the atmosphere in the house had almost condensed to the freezing point, and today the prince came back from the palace with a reluctant face, and he didn't know if he was wronged or what, anyway, he locked himself in the study and didn't speak, and even Guo Heng, the housekeeper who usually likes to pat his ass, didn't dare to go up to touch his head at this time.

Therefore, with Mo Lingfeng's room as the center, a circle of low air pressure automatically formed around it, and no one dared to approach it.

Until a figure broke into the courtyard in a panic.

"Oh no, no! Lord Wang, it's on fire! ”

Mo Lingfeng opened the door suddenly, so the man couldn't close the momentum, and fell to the ground with an "oops".

Mo Lingfeng's face was cold: "I don't know how to put out the fire when it's on fire, what are you shouting when you come here?"

"The minions also wanted to save them, but they stopped the minions from entering, and the black smoke inside was already rising, and the minions had no choice, so they came back to find the prince."
