Chapter 20: Reminiscence; Are there really assassins?

Autumn nights, no stars. There was only a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the spilled light was draped on Xiao Ruoruo's body, as if she was afraid that she would catch a cold.

Xiao Ruoruo stood alone in the courtyard for half an hour. It was useless to persuade Shuang and Shengxue, so they also stood under the porch to accompany her.

After a while, Xiao Ruoruo patted her somewhat cold face, stomped her numb feet a few times, and then stepped into the house.

Seeing this, Frost hurriedly followed, walked to the table, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. And Shengxue also hurriedly entered the inner room, took out a blanket from the cabinet and draped it over her body.

After a few cups of tea, Xiao Ruoruo felt that the temperature around her body was gradually warming up, she looked at the two of them and said, "I'll go to the master's place, if my father asks, you will say that I went to find Tiange."

Bully and Shengxue nodded again and again, watching her leave.

Running all the way to a hidden valley in the suburbs, Xiao Ruoruo stopped. She turned her head to look around, then calmed down and flew towards the top of the mountain.

What she didn't know was that not long after she left, there was a long figure in the place where she had just stood.

Li Ting is now thinking about a question, if he goes up with Ruoruo, then will Ruoruo kill him? After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. Anyway, if you can't beat him, you can still protect her by going with her, and nothing like last time will happen again.

Having made up his mind, he luckily followed, leaving only an afterimage in place.

When Xiao Ruoruo opened the door of Qiongyu Villa, he saw Cheng Buqi sitting under the huge ginkgo tree in the courtyard making tea.

Cheng Buqi saw Xiao Ruoruo coming, and did not put down the tea set in his hand, scalding the pot, placing tea, warming the cup, etc., like flowing water, which was pleasing to the eye. After a while, he picked up a cup of soaked Longjing and tasted it.

"Don't call me if you have good things, old man, you're too unrighteous!" Xiao Ruoruo pouted, walked to the stool next to him and sat down, raised his hand to pour himself a glass, then picked it up and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed.

Cheng Buqi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This was originally sent by you to honor me, can you still leave some for yourself?" He glanced at her, and then said, "Why do you come to me when you don't sleep at night?" ”

Xiao Ruoruo ignored his question, took a sip of tea, and when the tea was finished, she put down the teacup and replied indifferently: "The emperor is sick." ”

Cheng Buqi raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Hehe, I don't think he's a short-lived ghost?" ”

Xiao Ruoruo was interested: "What, listening to your tone, have you seen him?" But shouldn't he have ordered you to be arrested immediately when he saw you? ”

Cheng Buqi glared at her fiercely and said angrily: "I saw him twenty years ago!" Twenty years ago! Twenty years ago, Sang Wuji, Xiao Zijin, your father, he still had ...... My father, they are all here. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed, with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Back then, Sang Wuji and Xiao Zijin both planned to plot to usurp the throne. It's just that Sang Wuji has another purpose, and that is the life relics on your body. ”

"He somehow learned about the existence of the relics, so he started the idea of it, otherwise he would have rebelled a long time ago."

"After many years, I still remember that that day, Sang Wuji and Xiao Zijin each led an army of 100,000 to surround the Heavenly Saint Emperor City, and they were also suspicious of each other, and neither of them would make the first move, lest the other party take advantage of the fire to rob. And I hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to rescue my father. ”

"Who knows that my father will not go with me, he will live and die with the Heavenly Holy Dynasty! Before leaving, he gave me the relics and ordered me to leave the imperial capital forever with the relics, and not let Sang Wuji get them. He handed over the Feng Wei to me to protect me. ”

"But on the way out, I got poisoned for the first time! When I saw the blue spots on my wrists, I realized that I had been poisoned by Sang Wou-Ki! It was also on that occasion that I lost my relics. It's been so many years, not only Sang Wuji is looking for relics, I'm also looking for them, but who knows......"

"But who knew that the relics were on me, and you took me as an apprentice by mistake! Right? Xiao Ruoruo continued his words and said.

Cheng Buqi did not give up the rare lack of poisonous tongue, but nodded approvingly: "Not bad!" Over the years, in order to suppress the toxicity of the galan poison, I have swallowed a lot of strong poisons, and my body has long been deteriorating. Three years ago, I thought I was hopeless, but at a critical time, you used the relics to save me! Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiao Ruoruo with an extremely complicated expression, and a trace of gratitude and endless guilt flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Ruoruo knew that he thought that he had collapsed and turned white because he saved him, so he shook his head, looking indifferent.

After a short silence, Xiao Ruoruo held her breath and said, "Yesterday, the guards went to Weiyang Palace to arrest the assassin, but they didn't find it. ”

Cheng Buqi twisted his eyebrows: "Do you think the assassin is the queen or someone from the queen's faction?" ”

Xiao Ruoruo shook her head: "No! No one in the palace saw any suspicious people entering the palace. So I suspect there were no assassins at all! ”

Cheng Buqi's eyes widened: "Do you suspect that the emperor is ill for another reason?" If there were no Assassins, why did he say that he had encountered an Assassin? Did he want to hide the real reason for his illness? ”

"Nope! Or maybe he directed and acted in a play to make others think that the assassin was sent by his father, so that he could use it as an excuse to attack his father! Xiao Ruoruo said in a deep voice, her tone full of disgust.

Cheng Buqi: "......" He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and closed it in the blink of an eye.

The two of them sat there, thinking differently, and did not speak for a long time. They were awakened by a knock on the door.

Li Ting, who pushed the door in, felt a little numb in his scalp, and he was being stared at by two X-rays at this time. He has always been self-contained and calm, and he is a little nervous at this moment.

He looked at Xiao Ruoruo and said cautiously, "That...... Don't be angry! I'm going to get drunk and dream to find you, but you're not there. When I left, I saw that you looked in a hurry, and I thought that something had happened to you, so I followed you, thinking that I could help you. ”

Xiao Ruoruo's eyes were a little cold: "When did you come?" How long has it been here? ”

After Li Ting heard it, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still had a light smile on his face: "I followed you to the bottom of the mountain, and the speed was a little slower, and I couldn't find your person." So I walked around here by myself, and just saw a door here, and knocked a few times and no one answered, so I pushed the door in, and I saw you......"

Xiao Ruoruo was a little uneasy when she heard this, and her face turned red.

Cheng Bu gave up a blank look at Xiao Ruoruo, a girl with no prospects! Immediately, with a scrutinizing gaze in his eyes, he looked Li Ting up and down. Well, the length is not bad, and the martial arts are also okay, no wonder it can attract little girls!

I thought so in my heart, but there was displeasure on my face: "Who are you?" Who let you in without the owner's consent? Get out! ”

Li Ting looked like "you listen to everything you say" in front of Xiao Ruoruo, but in the face of others, he is much colder. Regarding Cheng Buqi's criticism, he only said "Forgive the owner", and nodded at Cheng Buqi, and there were no words or actions.

Cheng Buqi was angry with his double standard, and the good impression of him in his heart was gone.

"It's okay, don't always know some people who don't know each other! Running to someone else's house at night, what does it look like! When you're done with something, leave early and stay away from the bad guys! Cheng Buqi glared at Li Ting and said to Xiao Ruoruo. With that, he blew his beard and glared and left.

Hey, boy! If you want to soak my apprentice, you are still dragging it like this, hum! With me, don't you think! Catch up with the girl and tell her not to find such an impatient and impolite husband! Hum!
