"Of course I want both." Jiang Tong didn't hide anything about this, "You know that I and the fifth brother are the two most capable of becoming the crown prince, he is good at martial arts, and I am good at literature." ”

"No, you're good at stratagem." Qu Youying interrupted him with a smile, folded her hands on her chin, looked at him and said, "It is not a coincidence that you first appeared in Xiangling Town, but to get the red bead of the Seven Sufferings of the Buddhist Family. You know my father, you know my mother, and naturally you know my life experience. So in Wang's case, you deliberately appeared there, so ruthlessly and naturally integrated into my side. You help me to gain my trust. ”

"But so far, you haven't really believed me, and that's my mistake."

Since the words have been broken, Jiang Tong also told a rare truth.

Qu Youying smiled, "That's because of your identity, I don't believe that the Nine Emperor Princes of the current dynasty would be so bored to fall in love with a little girl like me." ”

"Then you believe that the third prince of Huaguo will really marry you?"

Jiang Tong interrupted her words in the tone she had just said, and the smile on her face had not increased or decreased, not even her tone had changed a bit.

Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, and her smile was slightly sluggish.

Jiang Tong's eyes looked in the direction of the door, and continued, "Actually, I know that you said that you want him to marry you, even if he really lets go of everything to marry you, you won't leave with him!" Unless he will stay in Xiangling Town for the rest of his life as Mu Jingzhu. ”

This time, the smile on Qu Youying's face could no longer be maintained.

She remembered what she said to Mu Jingzhu, although she said it very firmly at the time, she actually didn't believe it in her heart.

This is not only because Hua Guo and Great Xia have been fighting each other for so many years, but also because she knows his identity, such a luxurious identity, has been hidden in Great Xia for so long, and has been planning for so long, it is impossible to say that he can let it go.

Even if he was really willing to give up everything, his family would not agree.

But with his temper, even if others oppose it, he will insist, then their only way is to leave completely.

Leave these two lands and go to other places, and stay incognito for the rest of your life.

It was the best thing to do, but she couldn't.

Because her family is still in the Great Xia Kingdom, she can't let go of her father and the family that has raised her all her life.

So even if she had the chance, she couldn't leave with him.

She seems to be stoic and can give up everything, but she doesn't want to be separated from her father again because she lost her true mother since she was a child.

She doesn't want her father to spend the past in his later life, she wants her father to be happy for the rest of his life.

"Definitely. I lied to him, and I lied to myself, and I lied to myself that I could drop everything and be with him, but since I returned to my mother's hometown, I can't go with him. My mother left my dad for me, and I know my dad doesn't like me very much because of it. But he still indulges me, lets me mess around, in the face of righteousness, he will still worry about me, blood is thicker than water, I can't leave my father. But I still love Jing Candle very much. ”

Jiang Tong stared quietly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "But sometimes family affection and love must be given to get it." You love your father, you love Mu Jingzhu, and you love your mother even more, for everything your mother left behind, you must make a choice to completely calm all this. And this choice has already been decided in your heart. ”

Jiang Tong said this very surely, but Qu Youying showed a miserable smile, she stroked her forehead, shook her head gently, and did not speak.

Jiang Tong's eyes looked at the door again, put down the teacup in his hand, and said word by word for her.

"When you handed the red bead to Mu Jing Candle, you made a decision. Because you know that once he takes the things back, he has completed his mission, and the Empress of Huaguo, his mother, will never let him come back again, therefore, you choose the former between your father and him. You gave up Mu Jing Candle and gave up the love you always thought you had. You say, "Do you really love him like this?" After all, you hated him very much before, and after saying a lifetime of disgust, it turned into love in a blink of an eye. said that they loved each other for a lifetime, but between your father and him, they abandoned him. This is what you call love, but in my eyes, it is worthless. If you really love him, you should tell him that the red bead is only the key, and to find the real place, except for the ancient scrolls, the only map is on your body! ”

Jiang Tong's words, every word was blocked so that Qu Youying couldn't speak.

She even looked at Jiang Tong in surprise at the end, not understanding how he knew that the only map was on her.

She knew that this was also not long ago, after going to the Esoteric Sect Tianxuan, she met a grandmother who had served Xin Niang.

That grandmother is already very old, and now she has been nursing out there, and when she appeared, she remembered the former Xin Niang.

While the two were chatting, Qu Youying asked about the curse that the Xin family had been having, and at that time, Mama wiped her tears and told Qu Youying.

"Actually, the sect has always sent people to look for that treasure, but they can't find the map, so they can only give up. Until your mother gave birth to you, on your back, there was a map brought out of your mother's womb, at that time, Xin Niang and your master, that is, Mr. Xi, researched, and found that it was the only map leading to the treasure place. She doesn't know why the map is on you, but for the curse of the Xin family not to continue, she can only keep you, because your mother firmly believes that this curse will eventually end by you. ”

At that time, Qu Youying felt very strange, and she asked rhetorically, "I haven't found out that there is a map behind me since I was a child?" ”

Mama said, "Because your master used a special potion on your back, but he later discovered that this potion loses its effect once a year, and that is on the night of your birthday." ”

"So, the map only appears on my birthday?"

Mama was nodding with tears in her eyes.

At that time, Qu Youying's heart was shocked. But she clearly remembered that she looked around at that time, and she was sure that there was no one.

But for now, someone should have been following her all along, and then overheard the secret.

Raising her eyes again, Qu Youying looked at Jiang Tong's expression, she had lost the kindness she had just now, her eyes were approaching, with a touch of vigilance.

"You've been sending Mu Yu to follow me."

"Nope." Jiang Tong still looked like Fang Cai, "It should be said that there are my people in the Esoteric Sect Tianxuan, so your every move is within my monitoring range." ”

"So you're inviting me to dinner today to get the map on me?"

Because since the beginning of summer this year, her mind has been full of red beads, and with so many things happening, she didn't even think that tonight was her birthday.

"Yes!" Jiang Tong took out a delicate dagger from his wide sleeve, put it in his hand and shook it, his eyes were sharp, and his words were ruthless, "Such a good opportunity, how can you give it up so easily!" Anyway, even if I don't take it, someone will. ”

Qu Youying saw that the situation was wrong, and she stood up and was about to run.

But before she got up, she felt a wave of dizziness and weakness.

"Y-You drugged me?"

"Of course, because I missed today, I have to wait another year, I can wait, but the throne does not allow me to wait, so I can only be sorry for you."

He stood up and approached Qu Youying.

Suddenly, a sharp hidden weapon approached Jiang Tong, Jiang Tong already knew that there was someone at the door, so when the secret weapon attacked, he easily dodged it.

Qu Youying only saw a black shadow flashing, and she was hugged in her arms.

She looked up and saw that it was a wooden candle.

"Y- why did you come back?"

She was surprised, even if she had thought that Mu Jingzhu would go and return, she never thought that he would come back less than a day before and after.

At that moment, there were a lot of ripples in my heart.

"Let's go."

Mu Jingzhu put her arm around her, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.

Jiang Tong leisurely poked his head out of the window, looked down, and couldn't find a figure at all.

"Young master, do you want to keep up?"

In the dark, someone suddenly asked out loud, Jiang Tong's expression narrowed, and he said, "Follow." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Tong opened the fan he was carrying, shook it in the night breeze, and suddenly said with a smile, "Mu Jing Candle, Mu Jing Candle, this king has created such a good opportunity for you, you must not live up to this king's heart!" ”

Mu Jingzhu did not leave the town with Qu Youying, but found an inn to live in, and he gave the shopkeeper some silver, telling him that no one was allowed to disturb him.

Then he carried Qu Youying into the guest room and placed her on the bed, wanting to use internal force to force the medicine in her body out of her body.

But as Yun Gong explored, he soon discovered that Jiang Tong had given her far more than one kind of medicine, and there was also a poison mixed in it.

When the poison is forced out of his body by internal force, it will invade his palm and enter his body with the tendons.

But if he stopped halfway, the poison would spread in Qu Youying's body.

She has no internal strength to protect herself, only certain death.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die."

With all his strength, he forced the medicine out of his body, and when he finished the exercise, a black cord appeared in the center of the palm of his left hand, where the tendons and veins were extended.

He clicked on a few big holes on his body, and then hugged Qu Youying, who had passed out.

During these days, she has lost a lot of weight, and in her hands, she is no longer as mellow as before.

His nose was slightly sour, and he hugged her tighter.

Until there was a sound at the door, "Young master, it's me." The master is in this inn, and she has a few words to say to you. ”

Thinking of this morning's conversation, Mu Jingzhu took off the jade bracelet from Qu Youying's hand, and then placed her before opening the door and going out.

There was still a nasty face outside the door, and he glanced at it and said, "If you have anything to say, say it right here." ”

"Young master, don't worry, it's so late, no one will hurt her, the master is next door, if you are worried about her, you can open the door and talk."

Mu Jingzhu frowned, not knowing what her mother was going to go and come back for, but in short, it would not be a good thing.

He didn't worry about Qu Youying, but he also knew that if he offended his mother, he wouldn't do anything, but she would never let Qu Youying go.

So I opened the door next door and walked in.

In a blur, Qu Youying woke up slightly, she struggled to get up, but suddenly saw a black shadow sneaking into the room.

The man approached the bedside lightly, revealing a very familiar face.

Candles?

She saw Mu Jingzhu sitting down on the edge of her bed, then reached out and pointed at her, including the dumb, and then began to untie her clothes, revealing her back.

Then there was a flash of cold light, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand.

He stared into her eyes and said word for word, "I'm sorry, I had to get the map." ”

When the blade sliced through the flesh of his back, the pain was instantaneous.

When a piece of skin was completely peeled off, Qu Youying was close to falling into a coma.

She kept shouting his name in her heart, but he didn't look at her, took the bloody map, and turned away. I want to talk about "Bone Physiognomy" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
