Ling Jiantong knocked lightly on the door twice, but there was no movement inside.

"Jinghong, I know you're inside, you open the door, let's talk, okay?" Ling Jiantong softened his tone.

Inside the house, Mu Jinghong sat on the bed, his eyes staring at the window for a moment, but he didn't speak, indifferent like a wooden man.

Mu Jinghong had never treated Ling Jiantong like this, and Ling Jiantong knew that he was probably really angry.

"Jinghong, things are not what you think, we have been together for so long, don't you know me?"

Ling Jiantong knocked on the door twice, but there was no footsteps inside, oh my God, what Ling Jiantong was most afraid of was the cold war, it would be good to say something to each other, but he closed the door and disappeared, what kind of thing was it.

"Mu Jinghong, you can't get out, if you don't open the door again, I'm going to kick the door!" Ling Jiantong couldn't hold her breath.

Mu Jinghong's eyes flickered, he slowly got up and walked to the door, but he didn't move the latch.

Ling Jiantong was already gearing up outside the door to break in, but just as she was about to raise her feet, Mu Jinghong's voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Eyes, I've been on a long journey today, I'm very tired, you can go back first." ”

Ling Jiantong froze in place, is this considered a closed door?

Ling Jiantong has been with Mu Jinghong for so long, what kind of person he is, Ling Jiantong is very clear, he can say this, it seems that he is really tired.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, leaned against the door and whispered, "Jinghong, you must believe me." ”

A simple sentence overshadows a thousand words.

One of the two of them is inside the house and the other is outside the house, obviously separated by a layer of doors, but now they feel like they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Mu Jinghong lowered his eyes, and his hand was unconsciously placed on the latch of the door, he knew in Nanzhi City that today was the Lantern Festival, so he put down all the affairs in his hand and quickly returned to the capital, just to be able to accompany her to see the lanterns, but he didn't expect that by chance, he would let him see that scene......

He believed in Ling Jiantong, even if everyone in the world betrayed him, he also knew that Ling Jiantong would be the last person to stand by his side.

He also knew what Situ Qianchen was thinking now.

The footsteps of Ling Jiantong gradually moved away, but Mu Jinghong was even more determined, he remembered that when Ye Zhengbai was still alive, he once told him that brothers can give anything to each other, but women can't let it.

Ling Jiantong walked slowly outside the Seven Kings' Mansion, but she didn't go far, she really couldn't let go of Mu Jinghong in her heart, even if he didn't want to see him, then he would just keep watch outside his house, anyway, he would always open the door and come out.

Just a glance, just be able to see him.

With this belief, Ling Jiantong returned to the door of Mu Jinghong's room with light steps, sitting on the railing of the verandah, looking at the room that had already darkened.

Xu Yes, Ling Jiantong overestimated herself too much, and in the middle of the night, her upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and finally she fell asleep with her head tilted on the pillar.

It was dawn when he slept this time, and the dazzling sunlight hit Ling Jiantong's face, Ling Jiantong frowned, only felt a sore neck, and woke up very reluctantly.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and as soon as her body moved, the blanket covered by her body slipped to the ground, Ling Jiantong lowered her head and picked it up, isn't this blanket Mu Jinghong's?

Ling Jiantong slapped his thigh, something bad!

She immediately got up and pushed Mu Jinghong's room open, only to find that the room was already empty.

Ling Jiantong grabbed his hair in annoyance, and when he saw the people passing by, he stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Jinghong, where are the people?" ”

The subordinate glanced at the anxious Ling Jiantong, and replied truthfully: "Miss Ling, our prince has already left before dawn, and now I'm afraid he is already on his way back to Nanzhi City." ”

Ling Jiantong's heart was empty, and she was suddenly angry and anxious, he obviously rushed back this time, but she missed the opportunity to meet him, so many days of missing, but it was ruined because of Situ Qianchen!

Ling Jiantong hugged the blanket, sat on the stool, and buried her head between her arms.

In the mountains and forests outside the capital, next to a new grave, a white figure stood in front of the tombstone, he looked at the three words "Ye Zhengbai" engraved on the tablet, his eyes gradually deepened, I don't know how long later, a man in black slowly walked behind him.

He didn't look back, but said coolly: "Last night, you did it on purpose to show me, didn't you?" ”

The man behind him stood with his hands in his hands, it was Situ Qianchen.

His eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and his chin lifted slightly: "So what? She was originally my person, and you snatched it from me regardless of your feelings. ”

Mu Jinghong turned around and looked back at Situ Qianchen, unable to see any waves in his eyes: "It should belong to you, no one can snatch it away, if it can be snatched away, then she doesn't belong to you in the first place." ”

Situ Qianchen's expression gradually became gloomy, and his deep eyes stared at Mu Jinghong like a secluded pool: "The cut pupils are just confused for a while, she will figure out who is her true destination." ”

"Really?" Mu Jinghong's eyes flashed with coldness: "Second brother, in the past, there was a big brother, and the brotherhood between us can still be maintained, but now that the eldest brother is gone, is our brother about to disperse?" ”

Situ Qianchen sneered: "Mu Jinghong, you should know that because of the cut pupils, it is impossible for us to go back to the past." ”

These words were like a knife plunged straight into Mu Jinghong's chest, Mu Jinghong frowned, looked at Situ Qianchen with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "Well, since we have such a tacit understanding, we are all in front of the grave of the eldest brother today, then we will worship the eldest brother together for the last time." ”

Situ Qianchen did not refuse.

The two knelt side by side in front of Ye Zhengbai's grave, their heads on the ground, and the wine was sprinkled in their cups......

"My eldest brother loved his Qinggan Sword the most when he was alive, but unfortunately in the end, I couldn't find the Qinggan Sword for him."

Situ Qianchen's eyes froze: "Qinggan Sword has long returned to the eldest brother's side, and it has long been integrated with the eldest brother." ”

Mu Jinghong chuckled twice: "That's right, no matter what happens in the future, you are my second brother, and this will never change, I think this is what the eldest brother wants to see." ”

"Mu Jinghong, I might as well tell you today, I won't give up, after today, when we meet again, we will not be brothers, but rivals in love, cut my eyes, I must take it back."

Mu Jinghong's eyes moistened for some reason, he pondered for a moment before he nodded, as if he had made a lot of determination before speaking: "Then I might as well tell you that I am going to stand on the opposite side of the prince, if you are still on the same front with Mu Luo, then we will not only be enemies in love, but complete enemies." ”

"You don't really want to be the second Muzhen, do you?"

Mu Jinghong lowered his eyes, did not reply to Situ Qianchen's words in a hurry, but filled the two glasses of wine in front of him, and then said: "I only learned when I arrived in Nanzhi City that Mu Luo did not control the plague well at all, he swallowed all the silver allocated by the imperial court, and he closed the city gate to make Nanzhi City a dead city, so how can a person who does not care about the life and death of the people of Li be the next king of Tianyuan Kingdom?" ”

Situ Qianchen looked sideways at Mu Jinghong and raised his head and drank the wine: "He is not worthy, so, are you ready to replace him?" ”

Mu Jinghong bumped into his scrutinizing gaze, and his eyes were open: "Second brother, I have never had the idea of being the emperor, never from beginning to end, I know that the position has been sitting on since ancient times, and how much innocent blood will be stained on my hands, I just want to live a peaceful life with my beloved." ”

"Since you want to be stable, then I might as well advise you, don't go against Mu Luo, you are not his opponent."

Mu Jinghong chuckled: "If I don't hit the south wall and don't know my head, then second brother, will you also help the prince to fix me together?" ”

Situ Qianchen looked at him and smiled chicly, as if he didn't care about anything and could accept it, in fact, Situ Qianchen understood him, what answer he wanted to hear the most.

"Don't worry, my brother's revenge has been avenged, I don't want to meddle in Mu Luo's affairs, if I help you, it will be purely for the sake of cutting the pupil's face."

Mu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, he patted Situ Qianchen on the shoulder, and then got up and said: "Don't worry, there won't be that day, it's not too early, it's time for me to go back to Nanzhi City, second brother, take care." ”

After that, Mu Jinghong went straight away.

Situ Qianchen knelt in front of Ye Zhengbai's tomb alone, raised his head and drank all the remaining wine in the wine jug.

In the next few days, Ling Jiantong was still able to receive carrier pigeons flying from Nanzhi City in Fengguo Mansion, but the words on the note became fewer and fewer, and in the end, there were only two words left, "Okay", even though Ling Jiantong wrote more words on the paper of the reply, but Mu Jinghong's reply was always only left with these two words.

Situ Qianchen has not given up since that night, even if Ling Jiantong is too late to avoid him and force him, Situ Qianchen can always find her.

Until the end, Ling Jiantong had two big heads, she was counting her days now, hoping that Mu Jinghong could come back from Nanzhi City soon, if he didn't come back, then she would simply go to Nanzhi City to find him.

It's just that Ling Jiantong's idea has not yet been put into action, and news about Mu Jinghong came from Nanzhi City.

Although Mu Jinghong has reported to the imperial court and asked to send some silver taels, but this far water can not save the near thirst, Mu Jinghong for the safety of the people suffering from the plague in the city, he went up the mountain to collect medicine, who knew that on the way back, he met bandits, Mu Jinghong was finally outnumbered and captured, and his life and death are unknown.

As soon as Ling Jiantong heard this, where could she still calm down, she immediately packed her baggage and was about to go out to Nanzhi City, who knows, Situ Qianchen was waiting for her at the gate of the mansion early.
