God knows how this debauched and cunning Dugu Hao could appear in the Qin Mansion? The Dugu family is responsible for collecting information from various countries for the city lord Qi Ao, but the person in charge of this generation of the family is not the merry son in front of him, but the eldest prince Dugu Qian, he doesn't seem to have a reason to come to the Qin Mansion, if it is to meet the city lord, as far as I know, Qi Ao does not live in the Qin Mansion during this time.

Seeing Dugu Hao's expression, which was no longer the first time he had returned to Qin Mansion, I suddenly thought that I had arrived at Dugu Mansion, and I ignored the delicious food and wine on the table, and as soon as I turned around, I wanted to return along the same road.

Don't blame me for having this kind of thought, the Qin Mansion lives with me and the cold-faced man on weekdays, and the others are all servants and maids, and a master and a guest don't need so many people to wait, so there are only twenty or thirty people in this mansion, which is very clean, and it is so strange that such a person as Dugu Hao suddenly appeared.

Before I took two steps, I heard a soft resentment coming from behind me, and I was coquettish: "Miss Qin, you and I don't know each other anyway, why do you have to put on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and hurt my heart in vain?" ”

It sounds like a merry man who has spent thousands of sails in love, such a person is pompous and profligate, how can he be sincere? I turned around and replied coldly: "You and I don't know each other, I don't have amnesia, you are clearly pressing step by step, and you have murderous intentions towards me." ”

He smiled, picked up the wine glass and shook it lightly: "You little girl is a grudge, if I really want to kill you, do you think you can still stand here in a good manner?" ”

The threat between the words is very strong, it seems that there is nothing in the world that he Dugu Hao can't do, I heard that a face was long, and there was no good face, but he praised me: "The light skill is good, it is actually above me, the most lossful thing is that I let you learn a few tricks, that is the swordsmanship that I have worked hard to learn, and I will never pass it on." ”

What a complete weirdo, one second he is full of murderous intent towards you, and the next moment he can talk and laugh calmly. said that I hold a grudge, doesn't he also remember those few moves that I imitated?

Dugu Hao is still dressed in elegant white clothes, but it is not the one worn in Wenxiang Pavilion, in such a short time, he still has the time to change his clothes and then come to Qin Mansion, the efficiency is really high.

"He didn't come back with you?"

No matter how bad I am, I know that Dugu Hao has a lot of relationship with the cold-faced man, and it is difficult for the cold-faced man to do it because of me and Dugu Hao.

"Do you care about him?"

I gradually got used to Dugu Hao's whimsical way of thinking, sat down calmly, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the food in Qinfu is more delicious than the food in Dugu Mansion?" The implication is that it is inexplicable for him to go to Qin's mansion to eat.

His cheeks are so thick-skinned: "I can't get a bargain in his hands, so I naturally have to ask for it back in my mouth." ”

It was the trick in the Wenxiang Pavilion, and I was half mocking and half curious: "You boast of being lonely, there are still opponents in this Qinzhou City that you can't win?" ”

He has a down-to-earth attitude, like a gentleman: "It's okay, there are people outside the world, and I am convinced if I lose to him." ”

After you come and go with me for a few words, the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little weird, Dugu Hao drinks by himself, the bewitching style attracts the maid Snow Goose on the side can't take her eyes off, and looks at him stupidly, this girl must have never seen a few men, she was fascinated by Dugu Hao's flattering eyes, I was wondering, Snow Goose faced the handsome and extraordinary face of the cold-faced man every day, why was she never so out of shape?

I scolded a few words, shook my head secretly, and another pure and innocent girl was confused by the appearance of this demon, this person is Jin Yuqi is ruined on the outside, and the smile hides the sword with a sweet belly.

From beginning to end, Dugu Hao's explicit gaze fell on me unabashedly, and he seemed to be very interested in my woman's dress, I knew that I was beautiful, but no one dared to stare at me so presumptuously, and said with a displeased face: "Dugu Hao, have you seen enough?" ”

The stiff tone seemed to be infected with a strange disease if he looked at me more, he was not annoyed, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, his eyes were confused: "How can I see enough of such a stunning appearance?" ”

My whole face is red, burned to the root of my ears, shameless scum, how can a cold-faced man be with this kind of person? I stood up suddenly, pulled my legs and left, was it unbearable, I clearly heard the chuckle of Dugu Hao behind me, and my heart was even more manic and unbearable, and I wanted to rush out of the door.

I stepped out of the door with an angry face, not paying attention to who was coming, and hit the other party's chest with a head, I secretly snorted, rubbed my aching head and shouted coldly: "What person, don't you have eyes?!" ”

The cold-faced man looked down at me lightly, kindly concerned: "Did it hurt?" ”

I was angry, pushed him away, and walked away without looking back, indignant.

The cold-faced man walked into the dining room calmly, Xue Yan obediently stepped forward and put a bowl of soup in front of him, he picked up the spoon and drank the soup one by one, his demeanor was not lost to the elegance of the nobles, Dugu Hao pretended to be innocent: "I just teased her a few words, and she was annoyed." ”

Only women and villains are difficult to raise, how many women in Qinzhou City admire him, I wish he had a good night with Fangze, and when I met me so incomprehensible, he lost his wife and broke his soldiers.

"It's just that she looks awkward when she's angry, but she's a little immature and cute."

The cold-faced man drank the soup for a moment, and a sharp look skimmed away, as if even the air was frozen: "She is different from those women you play on the spot, I don't mind telling you again, don't provoke her." ”

This is the second time after Wenxiang Pavilion that he showed a murderous expression to warn Dugu Hao, but Dugu Hao didn't take it to heart, he hated his friends who had been friends for many years posing with this unfathomable look, and sneered: "Not deeply involved in the world, without a city, arrogant and reckless, this is the person you chose?" ”

"It seems that you didn't listen to a word of Lord Dugu's teachings."

"Don't mention that stubborn old man to me, the Dugu family wants to be loyal to the city lord who can make Qinzhou dominate one side, not an incompetent person, and I will never let you hand over the fate of Qinzhou to her."

Dugu Qian is a mediocre person, who can guarantee that he, the nominal ruler of the Dugu family, can sit in a high position, and the person in charge will plan for the rise and fall of the whole clan, in other words, the two great families support the city lord of Qinzhou, who can make Qinzhou grow stronger and more prosperous, who is the person to follow the two great families. As for bloodline orthodoxy, that is something that the old man of the Dugu family has to consider.

"I've made up my mind."

"It was not easy for you to sit on the position of the city lord, and it is not easy to hand over the authority."

I left angrily, and instead of returning to the garden where I lived, I went up to the stargazing pavilion alone. Listening to the loud sound of the waterfall flowing and the rocks at the bottom of the pool, my depressed mood gradually calmed down, I am temporarily living in Qinfu, and as soon as this war is over, Li Xuan will come to pick me up and return to Daqi, why should I be angry with someone like Dugu Hao?

It is already depressing under the fence, and he has to endure the humiliation of Dugu Hao's half-truths, and Bihe's crying face appears in his mind, overlapping and separating from Xiao Ye's delicate apple face, there is helplessness in being in a different place with Li Xuan, and there is a little memory of Long Xiao in the palace, these emotions are mixed together, turning into lingering sadness, somehow two lines of tears flowed in his eyes, and when the cold wind blew, only tears remained.

The almost inaudible footsteps came from far and near, the yellowish light illuminated the scenery in front of me, I wiped my tears with my sleeve, wiped my face indiscriminately, I could not show weakness in front of the enemy, the cold-faced man did not pierce the fact that I was crying, he was the same as last time, standing side by side with me, his eyes were far away, there was no moon tonight, thick clouds were scattered in the night sky, and even the outline of the moon could not be seen.

He was the first to break the silence: "Dugu is chic and romantic, acting only according to likes and dislikes, he is a man of temperament, and you don't need to take his words to heart." ”

"If you don't want to see him, I won't let him come to Qin Mansion again."

My words were especially muffled and nasal: "Isn't he your friend?" ”

"I have some official dealings with him, but we don't have to see each other often. I want you to stay in peace and not let an irrelevant person affect your appetite. The cold-faced man's tone was steady, as if it was more important for me to sit down and eat a good meal than Dugu Hao's friendship.

A strange feeling in my chest was about to erupt, some strange images flashed in my mind, I shook my head hard, my head still hurt like a pinprick, and the next moment the cold-faced man put his index fingers on my temples and slowly kneaded them in a circle, trying to relieve my discomfort.

I closed my eyes comfortably, frowned and relaxed, and after a while, an old voice sounded in my ears: "My lord, can you take a step to speak-"

This voice is somewhat familiar, I opened my eyes to see, it was the old man I met on the day I came to Qinfu, the elder is respected, I nodded slightly, signaled to the old man, the old man smiled kindly, but looked at the cold-faced man's eyes with a trace of solemnity.

Their master and servant had something to say, and it was not convenient for me to stay here, so they said, "I am tired, go back and rest first." ”

He handed me the lantern he was carrying: "Deeper and heavier, be careful all the way." ”

My ears are more sensitive than ordinary people, the old man is not wary of me, I haven't gone far before I vaguely hear his words: "The palace came to report, Your Majesty lingered on the sick bed for a few days, last night the poison died, the second prince was in the palace, suppressed the news, controlled the Imperial Guard, the old slave seems to be in the south of the country will change the sky in a few days, I hope the lord will make a plan early." ”

I was shocked, it is rumored that the Southern Emperor was cruel and tyrannical, and the slightest displeasure to him was killed, he reigned for more than 30 years, first abolished the eldest son who was the crown prince, gave the queen to death, and then sent the most beloved son to Daqi as a hostage, tortured and killed the courtiers, occupied the courtiers' wives, and levied taxes. His death is also a great consolation to Li Xuan.

At the time when the two countries were at war, this news was greatly beneficial to Daqi, whether Qi Ao or Chu Hong ascended the throne, they had to make a truce to deal with the mess left by the death of the Southern Emperor.

If I guess and the two countries cease fighting early, I will be able to see Li Xuan earlier and return to Daqi.

I deliberately slowed down my pace, I didn't hear the cold-faced man react to this, and when I thought that tonight would be spent so peacefully, a gust of wind swept behind me, and he suddenly lost his inherent calm, and his footsteps hurriedly passed me sideways, his steps were vain and swaying, stumbling all the way away, his tall figure actually seemed lonely and lonely, his performance was very unexpected to me, the death of the Southern Emperor hit him so hard?

The old man hurriedly followed, only glanced at me with deep meaning, I stood where I was, and muttered: "What does Nandi's death have to do with him?" ”
