Text Chapter 118 Closing the Deal
The maidservant Hanxiang led them to the small courtyard with a blue tile brick wall on the side of the bamboo house, Xiao He and Xiao Shiyi came in, and saw Mu Yunjing also sitting in the house. The table in front of him was already full of delicacies and wines.
It's just that he sat there alone, looking stunned. He suddenly heard the sound, looked up and saw Xiao He and Xiao Shi coming, surprise flashed in his eyes, but then dimmed, "You have also been arrested." A sigh, a little helpless.
"Where's Nam-joo?" Xiao He saw that he was here alone, so he asked Du Nanzhu's whereabouts.
Mu Yunjing heard Du Nanzhu's name, and a trace of disgust appeared on his face, "She's very good now." He gritted his teeth and said with a bit of hatred, although Xiao He was surprised, he seemed to be able to guess a thing or two. I heard Mu Yunjing continue: "You must not believe it when you say it, she is not Dr. Du's daughter at all, we were all deceived by her." ”
Mu Yunjing told them that Du Nanzhu was this Murong's subordinate at all, and he didn't know what evil trick he used to shrink himself into the shape of a girl and hide it from everyone's eyes.
When she was in Lu'anzhai, she was a little suspicious of Du Nanzhu, but when she saw the orphan girl, she was moved by compassion and covered all her reason. She didn't expect that there would be such evil magic on the rivers and lakes, which could not only change people's shape, but also rejuvenate themselves.
Mu Yunjing frowned, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and then said to Xiao He: "They are coming for me, I will find a way to let them let you go." ”
Xiao He smiled disappreciatively, "This place is good, quiet and elegant. It doesn't hurt to stay a little longer. As he spoke, he sat down next to him and leaned over to sniff lightly, "The dishes are also commodities, they are full of color and aroma, I don't know how it tastes?" Let's try it together. ”
Mu Yunjing smiled bitterly, "I don't have an appetite, you can eat." ”
Hanxiang handed over three pairs of silver chopsticks with a smile from the side, put them in front of each of them, and silently withdrew without saying a word. Xiao Shi vigilantly checked it for a moment before saying to them: "This dish is not poisonous, and the wine is fine." ”
Xiao He patted the back of Mu Yunjing's hand, straightened his expression, and said, "My brother entrusted you to me that day, and I only cared about taking care of you and protecting you, but I never talked to you in detail, nor did I mention how you should protect yourself and how to deal with yourself. Even though the sky is high and the earth is far away, it is no more peaceful than when you were under house arrest. Then Murong said that it was your father's deceased, do you trust him? ”
Mu Yunjing thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.
Xiao He smiled and said, "Yes, you shouldn't believe him." Even if one day he really devotes himself wholeheartedly to you, you can't trust it. He said he wanted to help you regain the throne, would you like to? ”
Mu Yunjing was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said, "I don't know." ”
"It's okay, if you think about it slowly, you will understand. Parents must be revenged, other external objects, if you really want it, do your best to fight, no one in this world should stop you. If you don't want it, no one can force you. Recognize your heart and ask it what it wants. Xiao He said solemnly.
Mu Yunjing looked at her with a look of understanding, and nodded after a while.
"Whenever you want, remember, you live for yourself. Only by living well can there be hope. Xiao He's palm was slightly forced, holding his hand.
Mu Yunjing barely showed a smile.
"The food is going to be cool, so eat it while it's hot. It's rare to have someone to treat, don't spoil it. Xiao He picked up the chopsticks first, took a bite of the dish, and took another sip of wine, frank and undoubted.
Xiao Shi also picked up the chopsticks, and without saying much, he was accompanied to the end.
After the three of them had eaten and drunk, they continued to gossip. Xiao He even pinched the silver chopsticks and knocked on the empty dishes above the desk, so uncomfortable. Murong in the cubicle saw the situation here clearly through the dark window on the wall, looking at this Xiao He dressed in women's clothes, but his demeanor was more chic and uninhibited than that of a man, and he couldn't help laughing.
"It's interesting." He whispered, and turned away, looking no more.
While Xiao He and the three of them were talking, the maidservant Hanxiang appeared again.
This time she invited Xiao He alone, and when Xiao He got up, he glanced at Xiao Eleven. Xiao Shi smiled at her, "Don't worry about me, if you agree, I will naturally accompany you." If you don't agree, we'll have to think of another way. As soon as these words came out, Mu Yunjing on the side was a little distracted, and he seemed to be a little envious.
Xiao He followed Hanxiang and left.
Mu Yunjing told Xiao Shi the truth. Du Nanzhu told him that Xiao He was willing to use the Gu in his body to solve the Gu for him, but this Gu was not solved, but it was only temporarily suppressed with medicine to make him sleep. Now Murong needs to start an incident in his name, so he will use this to blackmail him.
If he doesn't agree, he has his own way to urge the Gu in Xiao He's body, and when the time comes, he will ensure that her life is worse than death.
He had hesitated and thought about committing suicide, so that he would not have to be held hostage, and if he died, Xiao He would not have the reason to be controlled, and he could also change her safety. But his thoughts seemed to be seen through by Xiao He, and she advised him to live well, no matter what.
He couldn't refuse her words, but he didn't have the courage to start a war and turn the world upside down, and it was very difficult.
Xiao Shi sneered, "You're just making some excuses for your cowardice." Don't you really want the supreme throne in the world? ”
Mu Yunjing was exposed by his truth, the color on his face became ugly, and he wanted to argue, so he opened his mouth, but he couldn't argue. When he was displaced and in danger, a fortune teller once looked at his face and said that he was destined to be a lone wolf star, and he was destined to be lonely and miserable in this life. Mama also denounced the man as a god stick at that time, and he didn't understand what it meant at a young age, but he quietly remembered it in his heart.
After so many years, maybe that man was really an iron-mouthed god and calculated his life.
He hated his fate, and he didn't want to be manipulated, what he longed for in his heart was not the throne, but the fearlessness that would come after the supreme loneliness. Besides, if it weren't for the early death of his father, it would have been his place.
He convinced himself that he was just getting his stuff back. What's more, if he ascends to the throne, then Xiao He has no reason to pretend to be an identity anymore, and she can stay by her side for a long time.
He couldn't say these words to Xiao He, and he didn't know who to say them.
But Xiao Shi can see through his mind at a glance, he is also a man, how can he not see the inseparable attachment in Mu Yunjing's eyes when he looks at Xiao, and he is a little reluctant. If there is desire, anyone will have a weakness, and they will no longer be ruthless.
He was the same.
About half a pillar of incense, Xiao He came back.
She walked in with the corner of her skirt in a hurry, forgetting for a moment that she was dressed as a woman, and saw Xiao Shi bow her head and hide her face with her palms and snicker. If one day she stops dressing up as a man, I'm afraid that there will be a period of time to become familiar with women's manners.
"Let's go! Tell Murong about it. He won't embarrass us anymore. Xiao He raised his hand and asked the two of them to leave with her.
Xiao Shi got up, but glanced back at Mu Yunjing, who was still sitting in the same place.
"In that case, I won't go back with you." After only a short while, Mu Yunjing's expression on his face was much calmer, which made Xiao He a little surprised. Xiao Shi was not surprised by his decision, he was just returning to the group.
Murong needs to take advantage of Mu Yunjing's distinguished status to give orders, and Mu Yunjing also needs Murong to plan a great cause for him. The two of them are the ones who really take advantage of each other. Xiao He was also calculated, and what Xiao Shi could do was to guard her.
After Xiao He listened to Mu Yunjing's decision, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and after making some measurements in his heart, he spoke: "Okay, you know where to find me, be careful." ”
Xiao He and the little twelve were covered with black cloth and sent to the carriage.
The carriage swayed for a long time before stopping not far outside the gate of the imperial capital. It was also a little dark, and the two of them simply went straight into the city and went home. didn't go far on Suzaku Street, Xiao He saw Duan Heng and Ji Changge coming side by side, chatting while walking, with a solemn expression.
Now Duan Heng is reviewing the case of the post house, probably to discuss with Ji Changge, she looked down at her women's clothes, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Shi to turn around and leave. They hadn't gone far when they saw Dado slowly returning from outside the city with his retinue, walking this way.
For a while, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, Xiao He really regretted that he was traveling in women's clothes, but instead of playing any cover, he was about to cause infinite trouble. Just as she was biting her lower lip and hesitating, Xiao Shi grabbed her with her backhand, pulled her behind the street vendor, took her into his arms, and pressed her head against his chest.
In the eyes of passers-by, this is just a pair of men and women with bold manners, and they have a tryst at night.
Xiao Shihuan hugged Xiao He, she shrank in his arms and didn't dare to move, for fear of revealing her stuffing. Xiao Shi's voice whispered from above her head: "Don't be afraid, they won't recognize you." Hearing his voice immediately calmed her down a lot.
It's just that she pressed against his chest, and at the same time heard the sound of his heart beating in his chest, as powerful as a drumbeat, but it seemed that the rhythm was gradually picking up. She couldn't help but laugh, looked up and whispered to him, "Let me not be afraid, what are you nervous about?" ”
When her words fell, Duan Heng and Ji Changge happened to pass by the main road far away from them. Duan Heng Yuguang saw a pair of men and women hugging and hugging next to him, and unconsciously raised his eyes to look over, and Xiao He happened to talk to Xiao Shi with his face up, if she didn't raise her head, she would definitely not be discovered. But he didn't hold back for a while, and only raised his head for a moment, but it attracted Duan Heng's attention.
He turned around and walked over, wanting to find out, whether he was dazzled or something else, the woman in the man's arms looked a little similar to Xiao Heshen, especially the pair of starry eyes, which was unforgettable. But why is it a woman?
Is there really a woman in the world who looks like Xiao He? With a bit of curiosity, he got closer and closer.
Xiao Shi was standing with his back to the street, but he had already heard the footsteps behind him, and knew that it was Xiao He who raised his head to talk to him just now, attracting the attention of the side. He let go of his hand, Xiao He was surprised, but saw him holding his face with both hands, leaning over and kissing it.
