Xiao He stood in the crowd, listening to people's gossip, and inadvertently glanced at a pair of men and women coming out of the shop across the street, and the man was Ji Changge. Her tall figure was familiar to her, and the woman actually looked a little familiar, but she had never seen it before, so she really didn't know where this familiarity came from.

When the two came out together, Ji Changge reached out to help her carry the things in her hand, and bowed her head to say something to her, and her demeanor was very intimate.

Xiao He thought about it, some time ago, Ji Changge's mother arrived in the imperial capital, and he himself mentioned that his mother urged him to go on a blind date, afraid that this matter would already be seen. Looking at the backs of the two, she felt that the happy event was near, and she was happy for Ji Changge, so she didn't think much about it.

At the moment, she was most concerned about how to save Xiao Shi's life, even if she suspected that the mastermind was Murong, she had to wait to meet him.

In Duan Heng's other garden, in order to appease people's hearts, Duan Heng deliberately went back to the house to report his safety, and then immediately rushed over. Mainly because of the things that are spreading in the imperial capital right now, I am worried that Liu Yingge's little girl's family, alone in this garden, will be afraid.

He promised Xiao He that if he wanted to properly settle Liu Yingge, he would inevitably do it properly.

Liu Yingge read a book and teased the birds in the room, never went out, and never paid attention to the gossip of the people, so she didn't know what was happening dozens of miles away. Duan Heng tested it for a while, and when he saw that she didn't know, he simply didn't say anything.

"It's been a long time since you've been with me. This time, you want to talk to me more. Liu Yingge took one of Duan Heng's hands and shook it gently, with a girl's unique innocent expression, which reminded Duan Heng of Duan Sheng's memories.

Her sister also loved to be coquettish with herself in the early years, but now most of her thoughts are spent on how to please the one in Zijin City.

"Okay, we'll have dinner later in the evening, and I do have something to discuss with you." Duan Heng responded, but he didn't notice that the joy in Liu Yingge's eyes seemed to be flashing with brilliance.

In addition to knowing some news about the eldest sister from Duan Heng, Liu Yingge could also hear a lot of new things that she had never heard of before. Duan Heng was originally a person who was good at having fun, so of course he had something to tell her that he could amuse.

Liu Yingge pulled Duan Heng to look at his newly embroidered flowers, and then asked him to evaluate his newly practiced words. Whenever she talked to him, her eyes were always looking at him with spring water, and Duan Heng answered them one by one, but she just couldn't see her thoughts.

Xu is because when he gets along with his sister, he is used to this kind of intimate mode between brother and sister, and he thinks that Liu Yingge is just a brother when he is a sister.

Although Duan Heng can be regarded as a swinger who has experienced the pile of women, he has only learned one form, he has never walked through the heart, and he does not understand the heart of a woman. For this love word alone, he is a little slower than ordinary people.

At dinner, he vigorously served Liu Yingge with vegetables, and asked her, "Are you used to living here with Brother Heng?" ”

Liu Yingge stuffed something in her mouth, nodded while eating, and heard him continue to ask: "In a while, I may have to go far away, and I can't come to visit you as often as I do now......

Liu Yingge hurriedly swallowed the contents of her mouth, her eyes widened a little anxiously, "Brother Heng, where are you going?" How long is it going to go? ”

Duan Heng didn't know how to explain to her, so he smiled bitterly: "This matter has not yet been decided, and I can't answer you for the time being." Liu Yingge pursed her lips, as if she had made a decision in her heart, and said firmly: "No matter where you go, Yingge will also be with you, okay?" ”

She was so eager to follow her, Duan Heng didn't expect it, but when she thought that now she also has a home and can't go back, relatives and friends can't see her, and a little girl's family is helpless, it's pitiful. If one day her little sister also falls into a situation like her, in case she can't come back for a while, someone can protect her Ichigo, then it will be karma.

"Good!" Duan Heng readily agreed, all for good causes, and he was only full of pity for Liu Yingge.

And Liu Yingge raised her eyes to look at him, the girl's thoughts were all written on her face, and she only hoped that she would be with you in the best years.

Xiao He waited for nearly two hours before finally seeing a carriage come back, although this carriage system was rare, she had an impression. Although the coachman and the horse have changed, this horse is a West Pole horse, and if Duan Heng hadn't taught her to identify it, she wouldn't have been able to recognize it.

No matter how gorgeous the carriage of ordinary large families is, it is rarely used to pull the carriage from the West Pole Malay. If ordinary people get such BMWs, at most they are kept in captivity, and they are used to show off in front of people, how can they be willing to let BMW do this coolie.

Sure enough, Xiao He saw that the person who got off the carriage was Murong.

Before he could enter, she pushed through the crowd and almost rushed over. Because she was menacing, the guards around Murong mistakenly thought that someone was attacking, and they almost showed their weapons. Murong sensed her aura from afar, and stretched out his hand and waved it gently, "It's okay, my own people." ”

He didn't stop at the door, but went in with her, went straight to the second floor, and when he returned to the room, he unbuttoned his cloak and stretched out his hand to the maidservant next to him. Murong turned his head to look at Xiao He, the mask on his face reflected a cold luster, "You want me to help you save people?" Or something else? ”

"The matter of the basalt monolith, but your idea?" Xiao He didn't answer him, but asked first.

Murong seemed to be slightly surprised, paused slightly, and then replied, "If I say no, are you credible?" But I do know about it. ”

Xiao He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the first half of his sentence, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but prick up his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "You already know in advance?" What kind of wolf-hearted guys do you work with? Do you know how many people died on that mountain, and how many people were injured, and those people were innocent! ”

Murong looked at her quietly, and waited for her to finish with righteous indignation before slowly answering, "Yes, I did know it a long time ago." Those who have achieved great things sometimes can't take care of so many small sections. This is war, and sacrifice is inevitable. There are only hundreds of casualties on Jiufeng Mountain, and you have come to question me so righteously, when he officially starts the war with Mu Churan in the future, there will be more and thousands of people caught in the war, displaced, and even paid the price of their lives for their king, and you, as the initiator, will still feel a trace of remorse? ”

Xiao He was stunned and speechless.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't refute it, even if the matter of Jiufeng Mountain had nothing to do with her, if she didn't quench her heart of revenge against Mu Churan, there would be countless lives that she couldn't see buried in her hands one day, which was much more blood than Mu Churan's hands.

If it is decided today, if Mu Churan dies, there will be chaos, the scene on Jiufeng Mountain is what she does not want to see, so is she willing to give up revenge for the sake of innocent people? She couldn't convince herself.

The reason why he agreed to cooperate with Murong at the beginning was that if Mu Yunjing could become a benevolent lord, he would immediately succeed to the throne after Mu Churan's death, which would prevent the people of the world from falling into a catastrophe. Her sins could have been lightened. The Great Dao is willing to kill himself, but he never thought that this was killing someone else's life.

It turned out that she had never been able to pass her own level, so she had never been able to be ruthless.

She closed her eyes, and what came to her mind was the picture of continuous war and mourning, and Murong's sentence of the initiator echoed in her ears, almost wanting to make her lose her original intention.

"When people walk in the world, how can they be afraid of the road ahead because they step on dead ants?" Murong's voice was slightly deep, like the voice of the Heavenly Demon Spirit.

But Xiao He woke up in an instant, she opened her eyes again and looked at Murong, "It turns out that you only regard those who stand in your way as ants?" Wang Siyi, the secretary of the ministry, is he an ant? ”

Murong seemed to be slightly stunned before he spoke, "The assassination of Wang Siyi has nothing to do with me. ”

Hearing this, it was Xiao He's turn to be surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Really?" ”

"Do I have to lie to you now?" There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Xiao He stretched out his hand and took out the mask on his face, he didn't dodge, he didn't stop it, and the expression on his face was as calm as usual.

"It really has nothing to do with you?" Xiao He repeated the question.

"It really doesn't matter." He repeated the answer.

She had been carefully observing the expression on his face, refusing to let go of any slight changes, and Murong also looked back at her quietly. The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and Xiao He handed the mask back to him.

"The last person who took off the mask from my face like this, the grave grass is probably three feet high." Murong said indifferently as he put the mask back on his face.

Xiao Hegan laughed, "Just kidding, right? ”

"What do you think?" All his expressions were hidden behind the mask again, and his voice did not distinguish between joy and anger, which made Xiao He suddenly feel cold again.

She originally thought that after Murong got acquainted with each other, he would be easy to get along, but he was actually impermanent, and the distance between near and far was unpredictable, and it seemed that keeping a distance from him was the right way.

"Although the killing of Wang Siyi did disrupt my plan, but in the long run, it is a good thing for me, and the officials are about to reshuffle, and this is an opportunity." Murong said, his eyes shining with a fierce cold light.

Murong's plan is indeed intended to win over or control a group of courtiers, and for those who are more threatening, eradicating them is also a way to eliminate future troubles forever. Now, without spending a single soldier, he will cut down the enemy general and give him the opportunity to install his own people, although the timing is not right, it is not his plan, but he does not need to stop it, just sit back and enjoy the success.

It's just that someone is messing with his chessboard, which really makes him a little unhappy, and he also wants to find out who is making waves behind the scenes.

He looked at Xiao Shi and said a little teasingly: "It seems that you are also kept in the dark, so disobedient subordinates dare to stay by your side, so big-hearted, only you." If it were me, even if I had a dog, I wouldn't be ......."

Xiao He glared at Murong with a straight face, "Don't blame me for turning my face if I keep talking!" ”
