Young Master ......"

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the empty carriage, and it was the shadow maid who cut off Cui Huanchen's head with a sword on the battlefield and completely turned the tide.

It's just that at this time, the shadow maid didn't have the slightest joy, but buried her head deeply, not daring to look at Xu Rui's eyes.

"I'm tired all the way, I really can't help it, so I just let you rush back, and then go to the battlefield non-stop."

Xu Rui said as he reached out to help her.

But the shadow maid staggered and dodged Xu Rui's hand.

Xu Rui was stunned and looked at her puzzled.

The shadow maid gritted her teeth and said: "The slave maid has failed to live up to the expectations of the young master and failed to bring back the things of the young master, please punish the young master." ”

Hearing this, Xu Rui's face relaxed, and he laughed: "It turns out that you said this, I have already guessed it." ”

"You guessed?"

The shadow maid suddenly looked up, her eyes were red, and her face was covered with undried tears.

Xu Rui looked at her haggard appearance, his heart suddenly felt a little sour, and he stretched out his hand to help her wipe away the tears on her face.

Xu Rui smiled and said, "Although I was busy planning the big battle the night you came back, I didn't talk to you in detail, but we have been together for so long, just looking at your appearance, I know that things may not go well."

In fact, although those things are important to me, they just want to be less troublesome, even if it comes to the worst time, at most, take some thought, is there still a hurdle that can't be overcome? ”

The shadow maid shook her head: "The young master doesn't have to comfort the slave and maid, the slave and maid know how terrible those things are, even the young master will be very tricky to deal with, not to mention that there are so many things on the young master, but the slave and maid can't share the worries for the young master, just damn it!" ”

"Talking nonsense again!"

Xu Rui's face turned pale when he heard this, and he forcibly pulled the shadow maid up and sat up, and said with a straight face: "For me, all living beings are just meeting in Pingshui, what helps me is love, and it is also my duty not to help me."

Not only did you help me, but you also tied your head to the waistband of your pants and worked for me, even if something went wrong, it was a mistake on my part as a decision-maker, except for gratitude, how can I have the slightest right to accuse you? ”

"Young Master ......"

The shadow maid looked at Xu Rui, and tears kept flowing out.

"Young Master...... The slave knows how hard it is for a person to face the world, and how many people are overwhelmed by the cruel reality, but now you have to work not only for yourself, but also for the so many people behind you, which is a hundred times harder than facing the world alone.

At every critical moment, everyone is counting on you, but who cares about you?

The slave can't bear to watch you put everything on her shoulder, the slave wants to help you, but the slave doesn't do it, and the slave feels that she is very useless......"

This is the first time Xu Rui has seen this stubborn girl crying like this, and he can't help but be moved, not only because of what she said, but also because of the tears themselves.

People have seven emotions and six desires, those who seem to be strong have actually learned to disguise, and the fact that the shadow maid can cry in front of Xu Rui proves that she has removed all her disguises in front of Xu Rui.

This may not be a difficult thing for a normal person, but it is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for the shadow maid who has been a dead soldier since she was a child and has long been accustomed to hiding her words and deeds very deeply.

Seeing the shadow maid crying, Xu Rui felt distressed at the same time, but also felt a touch of relief from the bottom of his heart.

"With you here, I don't feel hard at all!

I'm telling the truth, and now that I think about it, this thing is so important, how can those people behind it not fight for it? I shouldn't have sent you in the first place, and it's best if you come back safely. ”

The shadow maid was shocked, and the silent tears suddenly surged again, and Xu Rui just looked at her quietly, watching this girl who had been suppressed for many years release the pent-up emotions for countless years.

I don't know how long it took, the shadow maid finally calmed down, and blushed slightly when she remembered Fang Cai's gaffe, but although this operation failed, it was not for nothing, at least she found some key information.

"Young master, when the slave and maid tracked down those who took the things, they found some suspicious details."

The shadow maid wiped away her tears and said in a deep voice, but she still didn't dare to look at Xu Rui's eyes.

"Oh, what details did you find?"

The shadow maid said: "This way the slave and the maid chased very quickly, and the other party seemed to be injured, although he fled for a long time, but he was still targeted by the slave maid, and finally in desperation he fled into the house of Chen Ting, the prefect of Luzhou." ”

"Chen Ting's Mansion ......"

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, this Luzhou prefect Chen Ting's official position is not big, but his identity is not ordinary, he is the proud protégé of Huang Tingzhi, the capital of the cabinet, and he is also the sworn friend of King Liao.

Could it be that the person who shot behind the back would be the King of Liao?

If the mastermind behind that huge network is really the King of Liao, then his methods to frame the prince through the tragedy of destroying the door and the child smuggling case are too appalling.

"And ......"

Just thinking about it, the shadow maid said again: "In fact, the slave and maid almost chased and lost several times along the way, but every time they were about to chase and lose, they could suddenly find the right direction, at first the slave and maid just thought that it was their luck, but in such a succession, the slave and maid felt that someone might be secretly helping the slave and maid." ”

"Someone is secretly helping you?"

Xu Rui's face changed slightly when he heard this.

Shadow Maiden nodded.

Xu Rui's face suddenly became solemn.

You must know that the shadow maid's mission this time is very hidden, and someone is secretly helping her, which means that the person also knows that Xu Rui was the inside story of the dark chess.

That's not the most important thing, if those people really plan to help the Shadow Maiden, they can do it before the things are taken, even if they are one step too late, why not just stop the person who took the things, but show the way for the Shadow Maiden?

The only explanation for all this is that there is another unknown force lurking under the dark tide, who deliberately wants to detect the clues behind the scenes.

But they may not have hidden their good intentions in doing so, usually on both sides of the broadcast, but at the critical moment on the sidelines, the people who stand by are holding a plan, that is, to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Who is it, who has such great magical powers and knows so much inside information, but wants to see himself and the mastermind behind the scenes fight to the death?

And what is their purpose?

Xu Rui silently took out a hard-shell notebook, is it Anna? The travel record left by Helen definitely hides a huge secret, but at the moment, Xu Rui is not in a hurry to open it.

Because of the current situation, Xu Rui does not have more energy to carefully study these secrets, and if he swallows dates, it is likely to produce some preconceived wrong inferences, which will affect the final judgment.

Xu Rui wanted to wait for the current battle situation to come to an end, and when he could take time out of his time, he would do it again and make sure that there were no mistakes to find the answer.

But now Xu Rui can't wait, the emergence of a third force makes things more and more complicated, and Xu Rui instinctively feels a sense of crisis that is being monitored.

Coupled with a strong curiosity, he couldn't help but want to open this notebook immediately and look for possible answers from it.

However, Xu Rui knows that thinking is a very strange thing, and once some mistakes or illusions appear, they will affect judgment from beginning to end, and it is extremely difficult to eliminate them.

He is probably faced with a situation beyond ordinary comprehension, just like a high-precision scientific experiment, where the slightest deviation can lead to a thousand errors.

What's more, after thinking about it, the emergence of the third snob is not necessarily all bad, although it brings more uncertainty, but at least it makes Xu Rui understand one thing, that is, there are enemies behind the scenes, and this may be a breakthrough for Xu Rui, of course, the premise is to pull these guys out of the darkness.

This matter may be difficult to say, but the opportunity is right in front of you, the Cui family in Xichuan must be implicated in those behind the scenes, and the place where you need to work hard is still in Xichuan!
