"Ah sneeze-" The weather suddenly turned cold, and a cold wind suddenly poured into the neckline, and Xie Lingxu sneezed coldly.

The road has already arrived outside the North City, and he moved on Bai Qiu's back a little uncomfortably, Xie Lingxu raised his eyes, and saw a lively scene in front of him, and many people gathered around, talking about something.

Presumably it was Chu Xiu who came back.

Walking past the crowd who knelt down to worship the emperor's carriage with sincere fear, Xie Lingxu sighed that he had returned to this familiar place, and he would continue to do familiar things and meet familiar people in the future......

The experience in Yaoshan seems to be still yesterday, and the unsolved mystery - and Mu Yun's ...... suddenly became a small episode in the boring life, but Xie Lingxu had a faint premonition that such an episode would follow one after another in the future, and then fill his entire life......

It was not early, Xie Lingxu had dinner, and in the late autumn season, the flowers and trees withered, and he was bored and walked in the garden, which seemed a little decadent.

The atmosphere was quite relaxed, but Xie Lingxu's attention was attracted by the several palace maids who passed by......

"Eh, did you know that the secret room of the palace was broken into by unknown people?"

Groove ...... Xie Lingxu was stunned, thinking that the unknown person was himself......

"I heard that the top-secret scroll in the secret room was stolen."

"Really? Isn't it heavily guarded outside the secret room? Didn't you even prevent it? ”

"Yes, the thief must be an outsider."

Several palace maids looked at the excitement with expressions that were not a big deal, and they didn't pay attention to Xie Lingxu on the side......

Groove ...... Hopefully this matter hasn't gotten too big yet.

"When I heard that this matter had reached the ears of the king of You, the king of You was furious, and said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and break the thief's body into ten thousand pieces—"

The corners of Xie Lingxu's mouth twitched, it seemed that he had to avoid King You recently, if he found the scroll in his hand, I am afraid that he would have to be in a different place......

But...... The Underworld Army has returned, and now he is a part of them - the subordinates of King You, and they have to go to the Yuan Hall tomorrow morning to practice their swords, and it is indispensable to meet with King You. Xie Lingxu felt that his situation at the moment was extremely disadvantaged, just happened when the Underworld Army went on the expedition, only Fang Xun and Xie Lingxu were left in the Yuanyuan Palace, and the king of You was already full of vigilance against himself, and he had to doubt himself when he got out of this file, and the only thing that could avoid a little suspicion was that with his three-legged cat's kung fu, he was not the opponent of those soldiers outside the secret room at all, but what would King You think, it was still difficult to say...... What the hell is going to do about this? Xie Lingxu was confused at the moment.

"Eh, do you see King Yu on the balcony today?"

"See, King You is simply personable, and the instrument is extraordinary......"

Hearing that they suddenly changed the topic, Xie Lingxu turned around and walked forward.

So fast...... When the matter reached the ears of King You, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble...... What can be done now?

Just thinking about it, Xie Lingxu met a familiar figure around the corner - Yang Ling, seeing his bright eyes when he saw him, Xie Lingxu's heart trembled, it seems that this product came to find him.

Yang Ling: "Miss Xie, I've finally found you." ”

Seeing that the former didn't answer, Yang Ling continued: "Uh......, Gonggong Shen asked the little one to pass the word to the girl, please take a trip to the Floating Dream Pavilion and tell the ...... of the king."

Yang Ling looked at the former's frowning eyebrows, expressionless, but his eyes were full of expressions that wanted to slash himself, and he couldn't help lowering his voice:

"Tomorrow's celebration of the feast."

Groove ...... There's no missing arms or legs, why don't you go yourself, you have to let me go.

Xie Lingxu felt that what he had encountered was very tricky...... Very fucked up...... It's like the cogs of fate that hang themselves......

Yang Ling brought the news to the back, and when he saw that the former's face was not good, he slipped away without stopping. Xie Lingxu sighed secretly, thinking that forget it, the sin that should be suffered cannot be avoided, and the person who should be met cannot be avoided. Life and death are destined for wealth in the sky, so go and go......

The Hall of the Trench –

Although this place is no longer as empty as it was a few days ago, it has not regained much vitality, and Xie Lingxu faintly feels that there is a lingering atmosphere of depression and depression around him, which is left by the dead and deeply remembered by the living.

The lights went out early in the training ground of Nuoda, and only the Fumeng Pavilion, which looked a little lonely in front of the gate, was still bright at the moment......

Xie Lingxu grabbed the messy broken hair on his forehead and walked over.

Standing in front of the door of the Floating Dream Pavilion for a long time, Xie Lingxu helplessly picked up the broken hair on his temples with his hands in a frenzied posture, revealing his smooth forehead, thinking about how he wanted to organize his language, but the door of the pavilion opened consciously......

Groove ...... Forget that this door still has this function.

Xie Lingxu quickly retracted his somewhat strange posture, raised his eyes and saw that the king of You in front of the desk was sitting, as if he was looking at himself, and then buried his head indifferently and looked at something.

He shouldn't have seen it,...... Right?

Just as he was about to take a step, Xie Lingxu suddenly reacted and seemed to be unable to do what he wanted in front of King You, so he lowered his head and retracted his steps and stood up slightly straight:

"King You, I'm ......"

"Come in."

Xie Lingxu raised his eyes, only to see that the person in front of him had not raised his head, and was looking intently at the fold in front of him under the bright candlelight.

Walking a few steps forward, maintaining a relatively comfortable and safe distance from strangers with King You, Xie Lingxu looked around, and there was actually ...... There is only one king.

The person in front of him lowered his head slightly, and his already thin face seemed to be sunken even more, revealing an unkind taste, Xie Lingxu stared at King You for a long time before he spoke:

"King You, Gonggong Shen asked me to pass the word, I hope King You must come to tomorrow's celebration banquet."

Groove ...... Feeling that his invitation was not tactful enough, Xie Lingxu swallowed a little uncomfortably.

After being silent for a long time, he heard King You's voice say indifferently:

"Got it, is there anything else?"

Xie Lingxu was relieved: "No." ”

I thought it was time to find a chance to slip away, but unexpectedly, King You suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were a little burning:

"None? You're here so late to tell me this? ”

Xie Lingxu was surprised: It's not too late...... Is this the routine of the elderly?

"Yes, it's Gonggong Shen, ask me to pass the word." Xie Lingxu was afraid that King You didn't understand clearly, so he repeated it again.

Feeling that King You's eyes were a little stinging, Xie Lingxu coughed dryly. Should it be...... Say something flattering?

Xie Lingxu: "King You's expedition this time is quite smooth, right?" ”

Groove ...... If it doesn't go well, everyone else is triumphant, will it not go well?

The king lowered his head and looked at the fold in his hand, avoiding the former's gaze from him:

"What do you say—the battle is treacherous, and I almost won't be able to come back."

Listening to the former's inexplicably aggravated tone, Xie Lingxu felt that King You's emotions seemed to be a little excited.

"Fortunately, King You's fine."

"I was hit by an arrow in the abdomen and a broken rib, and if you think it's okay, it's not bad for you to say that."

Damn it...... Xie Lingxu didn't understand what the inexplicable smell of gunpowder in King You's words was, listening to his tone, was he complaining about himself? Fuck you're injured and you didn't cut it down by labor, why are you angry at me......

"King You is seriously injured, rest early, and his subordinates will retire."

Xie Lingxu tried his best to be kind, knocked his hand and turned around to leave, but the king suddenly stopped himself:

"Wait."

Xie Lingxu turned his back to him and closed his eyes in distress:

"Do you have any other commands?"

Staring at the fold on the table that had never seen a word from beginning to end, King You clenched his fists, and felt inexplicably confused...... What else can I say to her......

Xie Lingxu moved his steps helplessly, but listened to a suffocating question from the person behind him:

"Have you heard about the theft of the secret room?"

Xie Lingxu was stunned suddenly, his originally slackened heart hung in the air, and a strong uneasiness instantly surged into his heart.

Why...... Ask me this?

Xie Lingxu didn't look back, and pretended to be calm: "I heard about it." ”

Youwang: "When I was away, what unknown people broke into?" ”

Not knowing if he was really asking himself or just a temptation, Xie Lingxu adjusted his slightly panicked facial expression, and turned to look directly into King You's eyes......

He can't be made to doubt himself, but he is indeed a person who has the ability to break into the secret room...... Only Mu Yun.

Xie Lingxu took a breath and said lightly:

"Nope."

The suspicious expression on King You's face came as promised, Xie Lingxu didn't expect him to believe in himself, and he didn't say anything clarifying.

I couldn't guess what the former was thinking, but I felt that King You's expression seemed to be a little strange, and his gaze was a little unusual.

Damn it...... He couldn't have found out, right?

Youwang Ruju's gaze seemed to penetrate his eyes and tear through his disguise, and Xie Lingxu lowered his head a little unnaturally......

Groove ...... This look—it's over......

The former's cramped expression was nowhere to be found in front of him, and the king bowed his head and did not speak again for a long time.

The dead silence was like a sharp blade, piercing the remaining softness at the bottom of the heart, forcing the only warmth to flee in all directions......

King You raised his head a little lonely: "I know, you can go." ”

The former is clearly relieved to get his wish......

Plain emotional ...... Sometimes, it's really hurtful......

Seeing that the former was finally no longer difficult for himself, Xie Lingxu was relieved.

"The subordinates retired."

Regardless of whether the King of Yous already knew that the scroll was in his hands, with his eyesight, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to find out the truth, and he thought of a way out of suspicion before the matter was revealed, but ...... How can you make the person in front of you, who is already prejudiced against you, trust you?

No way...... Xie Lingxu rejected this idea in his heart. It is estimated that it is impossible to make the king trust him, and one day he will find a flaw, and then his insignificant life will not matter at all, and he will kill himself with no effort at all. Since I can't share a room with him...... Then find a way to get out of the way......

Walking out of the Floating Dream Pavilion, Xie Lingxu looked at the empty and silent Trench Hall in front of him......

That's right...... Retreated, leaving the ...... of the Underworld Army and leaving the palace......

After drinking all the cold wine on the table, King You looked at the pavilion door closed by the former in silence, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but show a bitter smile-

For the first time in my life, I ...... feel like a knife, but I was not on the battlefield......
