Text Chapter 140 Origin and Extinction
When Huanhuan came out of the box that night, Xiao He pretended not to know, and asked Murong, "This woman is unforgettable, but Brother Murong's confidante?" ”
Murong didn't intend to hide it from her, so he said truthfully: "She is the jade-faced rakshasa of Qinglong Hall, I wonder if Lord Xiao has ever heard of such a name?" Xiao He was slightly stunned, and finally matched the name of the jade-faced Rakshasa with the real person, and then smiled: "I'm not from the rivers and lakes, how do I know this?" ”
"Oh? The Ten Palaces Yama threw his life out of Qinglong Hall, and followed you, I Dao Xiao also has some means, how can I not know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes? Don't be humble. Murong said, with a cold smile in his voice.
He even laughed to make people feel cold, but he was clearly hinting to Xiao He that he knew everything, and it was best not to play that trick on him. Xiao Hegan laughed twice, "I really didn't understand, just because in the early years, in order to devote myself to officialdom, I didn't hear anything outside the window, and now I am an official in the court, and I am only in the palace, for me, the disputes on the rivers and lakes are too far." ”
Murong's eyes seemed to be scrutinizing, and he glanced at Xiao He before he spoke, "Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea, and chat while sipping tea." I'm sure you'd like to know about the situation of the prince as well. ”
Hearing him mention the prince, it took Xiao He a moment to realize that he was talking about Mu Yunjing.
Mu Yunjing, to this day, in Xiao He's heart, like a righteous brother, she still can't connect him with the former prince in time.
"How is he now?" Xiao He's expression was a little nervous, although she had secretly calmed down, she still couldn't escape Murong's poisonous eyes. Any slight change in expression was clearly observed by him. If he wants to control Mu Yunjing, he only needs to let him know that he has held Xiao He in the palm of his hand, so that he can be obedient, and to deal with Xiao He, he also only needs to control Mu Yunjing well.
It seems that she, a person who waits for people to be sincere and still has good thoughts in her heart, naturally has a weakness. is not like himself, and now he is a heartless person.
Murong took his teapot with his own hand, poured a cup of tea for Xiao He, and then said slowly: "You can rest assured, he is a person who wants to achieve great things, I will train him, and even hone him, but I will never harm him." ”
Xiao He saw that he was already in the wine shop, but he only ordered a pot of tea, and he must have been a very self-disciplined person in Su Ri.
"Why didn't you bring him to me?" Xiao He still wanted to ask what was going on.
"He has his own things to do now, and he is gradually full-fledged, and one day, he will be able to fly to the clouds." Murong muttered, his eyes looking into the distance, as if looking forward to the tomorrow he was looking forward to.
Xiao He felt more and more that this person was unfathomable, and when she was still pondering Murong's intention to come this time, she heard him say: "Mu Churan is cruel and suspicious by nature, and he will never show mercy to dissidents, you will eventually find that you are on our side, and you are really for the benefit of the common people." ”
Mu Churan is brutal? Suspicious? Even she, who often accompanies the king, is not so decided, why is this Murong so arbitrary.
Mu Churan did have a group of Wuyi guards with strong martial arts who were searching for news for him, and he had also heard that when he was rectifying the palace, he was ruthless, and his decision to kill was like an iron-blooded tyrant, which once made people panic. But that's just a means for him to get rid of the hidden eyeliner around him, he is just protecting himself.
Xiao He suddenly found that he was defending it in his heart and excusing him, and he couldn't help but introspect himself, what kind of ecstasy soup he drank, so that he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Seeing that Xiao He didn't say anything for a long time, Murong thought that she acquiesced to her words, and continued: "Back then, the treasure of the dragon vein of the dynasty, the key is now in Mu Churan's hand, and this matter has to be troubled by Lord Xiao to explore more. ”
Xiao He glanced at him angrily, "It's just a key, it's so big in Zijin City, he can hide wherever he wants, I'm just a mortal, and I don't have three heads and six arms, this has to be explored, how long and what month do I have to investigate?" ”
Murong smiled dumbly, reached out and took out a thumb-high small white jade bottle from his waist, "There is a Wanlingsan here, if you find an opportunity and use it for him, he can answer any question you ask, he will not fake, the medicinal power has an hour's effect." Everything is waiting for Lord Xiao's good news. ”
Xiao He took the bottle, "There is such a good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”
"The configuration of this medicine is painstaking, it is not available overnight, you need to be cautious, there is only one chance, and it will be too late to miss it." Murong explained.
Xiao He put the bottle in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, he felt that the smell was unique, and he couldn't help frowning, "This smell is too special, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take medicine." ”
Murong kept a smile on his face, "It's not difficult, and I won't be looking for Master Xiao." ”
Xiao He now understands that Murong is just treating himself as a pawn, forcing himself to do the most dangerous and difficult task, and the benefits after doing it are immeasurable. He used this trick very well with empty gloves for the white wolf.
Now that the box is at Mu Yunjing's place, it must not be difficult for Murong to get it, but Xiao He remembered that Mu Yunjing once said that the key was just to open the copper box and get the treasure map, and if you want to open the treasure, you also need the prince's seal first. As for where the crown prince is, even Mu Yunjing doesn't know.
Murong never mentioned this, one is that he has already obtained the crown prince's seal, otherwise he doesn't know this layer of secrets.
If it is the latter, then Xiao He still has a chance to be passive and active.
But if it is the former, then what she is doing now is no different from a puppet.
It doesn't feel good to be taken advantage of, but this Murong has the ability to let you know that you are being used by him, but you still have to obey him obediently.
After Murong finished explaining his business, he didn't linger long, got up, picked up the cloak that was put aside, wrapped himself, and left quietly like a ghost walking in the day. Xiao He had no reason to stay longer, and then he also left the box.
When she walked out, she heard Murong calling in a loud voice when she passed by a box in front of her, "Let's go." ”
The person inside answered, and then the door opened, and that night came out happily, or called her the jade-faced rakshasa. Her deferential appearance in front of Murong is like a well-raised golden silk cat, full of charm, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
When she came out, she gently tidied up her clothes as she walked, and Xiao He inadvertently noticed that her cheeks were flushed, and she was looking back from time to time between her eyebrows.
There were still people in that room, Xiao He was slightly suspicious, and then saw Xiao Shi walking out of it.
She immediately understood that just now in the box, what Murong said to the jade-faced Rakshasa that she was so good-looking, she pointed to Xiao Shi, Ten Hall Yama. Xiao He tightened his brows, his face was solemn, Xiao Shi raised his eyes and saw Xiao He first, but there was a dodging look in his eyes, as if he didn't dare to look at her head-on.
Xiao He couldn't help but feel a heat in his head, and walked up to him in a few steps, but the words were on his lips, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't say a word. Her eyes fell to his collar, which was tinged with a hint of crimson, rouge or something else, and she didn't want to guess.
She should have known who he was and what kind of life he was living, but she had a hint of luck in her heart, and she framed him in her fantasy. Once the truth is revealed, the first person she can't stand is herself.
Xiao Shi looked at Xiao He in a daze, and there was also a little expression of wanting to say something, and suddenly he saw a beating luster in her eyes, faintly tearful, which made him a little unbearable.
Xiao He has never believed in anyone like this, she once believed in it, and the people she loved had already left her.
She thought that he would always be by her side, which would bring her a new glimmer of hope, but now it seemed to be nothing more than an illusion. Her heart was already cold, and wrapped in a thick hard shell, which had been gently opened for him at one moment, vacating a small space, and now it was resolutely closed.
Xiao Shi saw that her eyes flickered, and in the end everything fell into nothingness, and she knew in her heart that she was disappointed in herself.
At that moment, he could empathize, hurt her, and mourn her. Everything is only in an instant, the cause arises, and the fate also dies.
"Let's go back." Xiao Shi spoke, his voice low.
Xiao He turned his head and walked past him, her footsteps did not stop, although she knew that he was following her, but she kept her distance from him, unwilling to get any closer.
Back in the Xiao Mansion, Hongzhu had learned the news from the palace that Xue Liangan was in prison, and she was quite worried.
Xiao He was relieved: "I will find out about this matter, there must be some misunderstanding, you don't have to worry too much about your brother, he has always been cautious." It's just that now the prison is very tightly guarded, and no ...... are allowed to visit."
"I'll go in the evening." Xiao Shi said behind him.
Xiao He had little expression on his face, "I'll go with me too." ”
At this time, Hongzhu was too nervous about Xue Liangan's affairs, so she didn't notice the subtle changes between Xiao He and Xiao Shi.
It was night, and it was past the second watch, Xiao He changed into his night clothes and sneaked into the dungeon of Jingzhao Mansion with Xiao Shi.
She used incense, and Xiao Shi directly lit the guard's sleeping hole. The journey is like entering a no-man's land, and it is very smooth. After they entered the dungeon, they did not find Xue Liangan. Xiao He was slightly suspicious, there was only one dungeon in Jingzhao Mansion, could there be other places?
Xiao Shi's face was calm, and he said secretly: "There is another place." ”
"Where?" Xiao He asked.
"Interrogation room." The interrogation room he was talking about was in an iron room on the upper floor of the dungeon, and was generally only used for interrogating key prisoners, and was not used to hold prisoners. When they entered the dungeon, Xiao Shi glanced at the interrogation room and seemed to have a light in it.
Such a late and overnight interrogation, such a big battle to deal with, if it is really Xue Liangan, I am afraid that he will only have half a life left.
Xiao He looked at him suspiciously, but he reached out and pulled her out of the dungeon and walked in the direction of the interrogation room.
Although the four walls of this interrogation room are made of dark iron, the roof is as usual, and the two of them flew up to the roof, and Xiao Shilu helped Xiao He and taught her how to settle silently, so as not to step on the tiles with heavy feet.
There is no shortage of masters in this Jingzhao Mansion, not all of them are wine bags and rice bags, which alarms them, but it is also troublesome.
