The sky gradually became dark, and sporadic lights lit up along the road.

Zhao Chen held the fox cage and swayed at the entrance of the alley, pacing unconsciously while looking inward from time to time.

Until a hazy dim yellow, reflecting the thin figure who came with a lamp.

In the light, Meng Yongwu wore his hair, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and his complexion was the same as usual, like tranquility and loneliness.

Zhao Chen couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Without waiting to look away, Meng Yong looked back and bent the corners of his lips lightly, neither rude nor close.

"In the future, just go back to your own house in the future, it's not good for you to pick it up in person." He approached and said politely.

"How's that going to work?" Zhao Chen took the lantern in his hand with a smile, and said as he walked: "This night is dark and windy, and that Miss Su is not here, what if you meet a bad person?" Don't worry if you don't pick me up in person! ”

Meng Yong glanced at her small body, only smiled silently, and did not shirk it again.

It wasn't until Zhao Chen made a gesture to help him get into the carriage that he said softly: "I've been sitting since the afternoon, this body is tired and lazy, you get in the car, it's better to walk with you." ”

Zhao Chen remembered what happened in the car before, looked at the fingerprints on his face that had not disappeared, and said with a smile: "Then don't take the car, I'll walk with Brother Meng." ”

"Han Feng, you follow behind."

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the other party for a while, Meng Yong had no choice but to walk to the other end of the long street first.

Zhao Chen smiled even brighter, dragging his feet and chasing a few steps.

The road area is mostly snow-white, and at this time, it is blown by the cold wind in the night, and suddenly forms a thin and shiny ice, and even the snowflakes will be quickly blown away by the wind.

Meng Yong looked at Zhao Chen, who was limping and struggling to follow, thought about it, and stopped.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhao Chen, who was full of thoughts, raised his head and asked.

Meng Yong shook his head silently, handed her wide sleeves to her, and then continued to walk without saying a word.

Zhao Chen clutched the soft suede and couldn't help blinking his eyes.

When did this man become so kind?

"Brother Meng?" She called out, and when she saw that the other party was not, she pulled the sleeve on her hand.

"You just say, listen down." Only then did he say lightly.

"You should know who's going to kill you."

Meng Yong chuckled and asked, "Didn't Xie Si tell you?" Without waiting for her to answer, he continued: "I found out someone's secret in Xia, so they bought a murderer to kill them, and I had to take the opportunity to hide in your house." ”

Zhao Chen pouted secretly: "What did you find?" ”

"I guess you also know what you found below, Cui'er's life experience, Xiao's token..."He looked back at Zhao Chen with a smile, and his crimson thin lips picked lightly: "And, who killed him." ”

The person who bought the murderer of him is also the murderer of Cui'er!

Zhao Chen said with a dry smile: "Mr. suddenly confessed like this, but it made this king a little scared." ”

He didn't care about the squeeze in his words, he just smiled and said: "You have the same purpose as Zaixia, that is, you are a fellow traveler, since you are a fellow traveler, you must be honest with each other, otherwise you will not be suspicious of each other?" ”

"Then I don't know what else Mr. has to confess?"

"The play in the palace is not a trick for you." His eyelashes twitched slightly, and his eyes curved slightly, "From beginning to end, I am sincerely trying to help you." ”

Zhao Chen didn't answer, just walked silently.

Since she learned from Xie Si about the killer's behind-the-scenes instructions, she also understood the other party's intentions.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have changed my attitude abruptly before, and I wouldn't have made any pros with each other.

"If you want to promote first, you must suppress it first, only if people despise you more and more, you will not arouse the jealousy of those who have a heart." His smile was shallow and cold, "The clouds in the shadows seem to be lenient to you, or is it because you have no ambition or threat." ”

Zhao Chen responded in a low voice as if he was taught.

Over the years, she has been working hard to do it, but everyone looks down on her.

It's just that now there is one more person in the target-

"Sometimes, I really feel like I can't live this life anymore." She sniffed: "Since the border pass back to Beijing, I just wanted to get through this life safely, who wants to kill me in three days, I don't say it, and I crippled my leg." ”

She blinked her moist eyes, and there was more sparkle in the light: "With such a big capital, I don't have anyone to count on, so I can only live in fear every day, for fear that one day I will die if I don't know it..."

She poured bitter water on her face.

Even though she seemed to be trying hard to stabilize her voice, there were still wisps of crying that kept swirling in Meng Yong's ears.

Meng Yong couldn't help but look sideways at her.

Zhao Chen, who had no leisure all day, was still wearing the pretty python robe at this time, and she was loosely tied with a white fur that hung down to the length of her ankles, making her figure more and more petite.

On a small face carved like jade, his eyes flashed red, like a rabbit in a cage.

He suddenly remembered the fierce appearance of the other party in the carriage before, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

was about to say a few words to comfort her, but saw that she was carrying his sleeve and wiping it on her face, and all those warm crystals were wiped on.

His face froze, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump a few times, and it took a while to stabilize the expression on his face.

Zhao Chen didn't seem to notice the annoyance of the people around him at all, and still took care of himself while wiping his tears with the other party's sleeve, while hanging his head and muttering.

“… I know that the person who killed my father wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and I also want to find that person, not to mention avenge my father, at least I can have a direction to guard, so that I will not always be like a frightened bird day and night. ”

She sighed as if dejected: "There are too many people who want to harm my father, the countries he has attacked, the enemies he has killed, and the emperors who can't sleep well because they are afraid of him..."

"These, these people all want my father to die, and they are all probably the ones who want to kill me-" She paused, consciously brewing almost.

The next moment, she cried directly: "Brother Meng, or I just won't check it, and just wait for death." ”

Meng Yong frowned imperceptibly.

He has always felt that Zhao Chen is quite tenacious, not only can he survive until now under the embattlement, but he also knows how to take the initiative to track down the events of the year.

This also made him feel good about Zhao Chen, and felt that this person was still a little clever after all.

But the other party is now cowardly, which makes him wonder if he is looking at the wrong person.

But smart people are more difficult to control, it's better to be like this-

Thinking about it like this, he was in a much better mood, and his expression and tone softened: "Ants are still greedy for life, let alone human, if you are bent on waiting for death, then it is really not far from death." ”

He pulled back the sleeves of his coat, which were already dirty, held Zhao Chen's arm with one hand, and took out the Jinpa with the other hand and handed it to her.

"No matter how meticulously the killing game was done back then, as long as it was man-made, there will be traces to follow after all." His hands tightened, and his voice was extremely soft with a hint of strange bewitchment: "Didn't we just grab one of the threads now?" ”

"As long as we check it little by little, there will always be a day when things will fall into the daylight, and you will always have a chance to live a stable life, but if you give up now and just wait for death, you are afraid that you can only be a lonely ghost without knowing it."

Zhao Chen secretly sneered.

It's a pity that this person doesn't go to build an evil ~~ sect!

"Then what should Brother Yimeng do with me now?" Her eyes were red and her face was confused.

"Tomorrow, let's go and take out the things left by Xiao Qingshan first, and then wait for Yue Huo to be rescued, let's take revenge on your leg first..." ”

Zhao Chen smiled at him with tears in his eyes: "It's really thanks to Brother Meng—"

After walking all the way back to the Wuwang Mansion, the two people who were pregnant with ghosts separated and went back to their rooms.

As soon as the door closed, the two of them smiled disdainfully.

This man is really a deception!
