As long as he tilted his head slightly, Li Xiao could see Qin Mo's face very clearly, and even his every subtle expression.

Especially his eyes, focused and serious, but for some reason, his brow wrinkled slightly.

The movements of his hands were so light that if it weren't for the temperature of hot water, Li Xiao wouldn't have noticed that something was touching his wound.

"It's going to be a little painful to draw the knife, you bear with it." Inexplicably, Qin Mo's tone was much softer, not as peaceful and gentle as he usually was, nor as sharp and indifferent as just now.

"Hmm!" Li Xiao nodded, and closed her eyes again.

She thought that if she didn't see it with her own eyes, it wouldn't hurt so much. But the truth is that the pain is still so painful.

A sharp pain hit, Li Xiao couldn't bear it and fainted.

When I woke up again, it was already a little dark.

As soon as she moved, the person next to her reacted.

"Awake? What do you think? Li Xiao, who heard the voice, looked over, it was Qin Mo.

"It hurts!" Li Xiao said tiredly.

"When you put yourself in danger, why didn't you expect it to hurt?" When Li Xiao was asleep, Qin Mo learned everything about the matter from Dong Lian's mouth.

Li Xiao originally came to look for him, but when she left the capital, she found that someone was following, so she made a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

Who was the person who hurt her, Dong Lian didn't know. As for the grievances between them, he didn't know anything about them.

Who that person is, Dong Lian doesn't know, but Qin Mo knows. It's just that he doesn't know why.

"Shall we go back to the city, or shall we stay here for the night?" Qin Mo asked Li Xiao's opinion, "If you go back, you have to leave now, otherwise the city gate is closed, and you won't be able to enter." Of course, the premise is that you have to hold on. ”

This is the decision Li Xiao made after thinking about it: "Go back!" ”

It is also inconvenient to stay in the temple. And if you don't go back, you won't be able to explain to your father and mother!

"Well, I also think it's better to go back!"

………………………………

The night was dark, especially in sparsely populated places, and it seemed even more silent. Just like, the Guogong Mansion at this moment.

After Yin Zhan completed the master's explanation, he wanted to go back to rest. But when he passed by the master's courtyard, he couldn't help but pause.

In the shadow of the dim courtyard wall, there seemed to be someone standing there!

"Who's there?" He shouted, and one of the hands that hung down at his side had already grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

He cautiously took two steps forward, just about to ask again. I saw the figure hidden in the shadows and walked out by itself.

"It's me!"

How is he? Yin Zhan was a little surprised.

"Didn't you go back with Grandpa Guo?"

Yin Zhan's question was not answered, but was asked again: "What about your master?" ”

"I'm staying in the Prince's Mansion with the county lord!"

The dim light hazy the interrogator's face, so when he heard the words "Prince's Mansion", the drastic change in the expression on his face was not noticed by Yin Zhan at all.

What was not noticed was the paleness on his face.

He didn't stay any longer, nor did he pay any more attention to Yin Zhan, but turned around and left, and after a while, he hid in the dark night again.

Yin Zhan looked back at the pitch-black courtyard, and then looked at the place where the person was standing, and left with a full stomach full of doubts.
