Chapter 198: Dreams Are Lost Fragments of Memories
"It's just stupid." Mu Baili let out a long breath, "Even if the Tilan Kingdom is broken, do you think those rebels from Daye and Desolation can rush into the national capital in such a short period of time?" To regress from this, if a guard has such ability, how can he save you and not save his own emperor and queen? β
These Xue Lan really haven't thought about it, and they haven't thought about it yet.
"You mean, Master, he-" Xue Lan gasped, "Who the hell is he?" β
"Isn't that what I should ask you? Since you can do such kung fu, you must have been by his side for a long time. Mu Baili narrowed his dangerous eyes and stared at Xue Lan coldly.
"I-" Xue Lan pursed her lips, "I lived in the valley at the time, living in isolation, the first half a year Master often came, and then Master didn't come often. I was bent on getting to find you as soon as possible, so I didn't think much about anything, and I devoted myself to studying hard. β
"Haven't you thought that while you are studying hard, you are also desperately learning how to play chess with others?" Mu Baili has realized that he has lost, why did he lose? Because of Xue Lan's appearance, because of her own containment, she didn't expect that there were others behind Xue Lan, so she ......
But it had come to this, and it was useless for him to regret it.
The other party must have doubted his true identity through Xue Lan, but the delay in making a move means that the other party is not extremely sure of Xue Lan's choice. After all, Xue Lan has been going around in the big house for many years, and it is reasonable that one day a good bird chooses a tree to perch.
Xue Lan naturally also heard the meaning of Mu Baili's words, "This means that my appearance has actually exposed your identity?" She paused, "If my master, who is a traitor, are you also in danger?" Taking a step back, the traitor is around, and it is likely that he is lurking in the capital? Who the hell is this traitor? β
Mu Baili snorted coldly, "I only think about it now, isn't it too late?" From now on, you are not allowed to mention the word Ran Heng again, you will be Mrs. Chitose in the future, and this seat is a fact that will not change until you die. β
"I see." Xue Lan bowed, "Don't worry, I will never be reckless in the future, I will ask you about anything first." She let out a long breath, "You've told me so much today, but you still haven't finished speaking, right?" Outsiders are all admirals of Dongchang, and they are ruthless when they are thousands of years old. I don't think you're going to joke with my life because I'm ......."
Xue Lan frowned slightly, "What do you want me to do, just speak!" Anything I can do for you, I will do, even if it's this life. As long as you don't drive me away again, as long as you can keep me by your side any longer, I will do whatever it takes. You should know my attachment, and you should give me a chance to do something for my father-in-law. β
"If the traitor is really your so-called master, do you still dare to say that? When we meet in the future, can you kill you? Mu Baili asked.
Xue Lan sneered twice, "Why not?" The kindness of my father-in-law and mother-in-law is in front of me, although the master taught me martial arts, but the purpose is not pure, why should I respect the teacher? Even the grace of nurturing has been deprived of the right to repay, what is the master talking about? The so-called master is just a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's just trying to use me to find you and deal with you! β
"I won't let anyone have a chance to hurt you! Keeping you is the last thing I did to my father-in-law. β
I don't know that this will eventually become a prophecy at a certain time in a certain year and month. It is all the promises of this world, and it must not be lightly promised.
For Xuelan, Mu Baili has his own plans.
"When was the last time you saw your master?" Mu Baili asked.
Xue Lan thought about it carefully, "I met it three years ago. β
"What?" Mu Baili frowned.
Xue Lan thought about it carefully, "Three years ago, I was staying in the Qinglou in Yunyouzhou, and I don't know why the master actually found me and said that he asked me to go towards the capital of Daye. I don't know what it means, but what Master probably means is that there are many people in the capital, and the news is better. But because I resisted the imperial city of Daye in my heart, I refused to enter Beijing for a long time. β
Three years ago?
Mu Baili thought that three years ago, he had just sat in the position of the head of the boss and supervisor, and then he was about to seize the power of the East Factory. There are some things that I really haven't paid much attention to, after all, the scale of the East Factory at that time was not as it is now, and the eyeliner was all over the world.
But listening to Xue Lan say this, someone must have doubted her identity earlier, so she deliberately went to Xue Lan to determine her identity. Did you deliberately go to find Xue Lan, or did you meet by chance?
Who was the prefect of Yunyouzhou three years ago - Yunyouzhou?
He stiffened suddenly, three years ago, there was a locust plague in Yunyouzhou, when the imperial court sent important ministers to Yunyouzhou, in order to appease the people. Who went with you at that time?
Presumably a lookup will give you a clue!
Thinking of this, Mu Baili turned to leave, his steps hurried.
Xue Lan was stunned for a moment and hurried to follow.
It's easy to find out what happened three years ago, after all, the locust plague in Yunyouzhou was really bad back then, and everyone knows about it. The person who can break the country of Tiran is by no means an ordinary person, and must have a deeper purpose, so what is this purpose? Whether this traitor is related to an official of the court, or is he a member of the court?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to know about the Butterfly Gu, and it would be impossible for them to have such a great ability to provoke wars between countries.
So Mu Baili made a bold assumption that this traitor was in the court. After all, there is a certain reason why a traitor can hide for so many years without being heard from, and there is no trace of even Dongchang.
However, I didn't know if I didn't check, I was shocked when I checked, Mu Baili didn't expect that when there was a locust plague in Yunyouzhou, it was Zhao Song, who was the prime minister, who personally led the relief grain.
For a moment, Mu Baili felt his mind go blank.
When he came back to his senses, his face was already ugly.
It's Zhao Song again!
Rubbing his eyebrows helplessly, Mu Baili felt a headache, and his brain was really hot. It seems that I have to say hello to Zhao Wuwu about this, lest this girl be too active, and in the future, he will be blamed for not saying hello in advance.
Being single has the advantage of being single, you can be decisive and decisive, and you can have no scruples. But now? Why do you always feel like you're being pinned down? And this illusion is still accompanied by a little joy, and I feel warm in my heart inexplicably.
However, Mu Baili still admitted in his heart that in terms of the handling of the government, Mu Baili's thoughts were indeed not as appropriate as Zhao Wuwu.
After all, she has been in contact since she was a child, and she is accustomed to it, and she is very clear about Zhao Song's sphere of influence. Unlike Mu Baili, he knew what position Dongchang had in everyone's hearts, but he didn't know 100% who were the henchmen of Zhao Song and King Qi Yu in the court.
Thinking about this, he thought that he needed to make a trip.
Before going there, he had to finish the approval of the East Factory first, after all, it was also a big deal.
The cabinet and the East Factory are now on par, because of Zhao Wuwu's plan to capture the old at that time, after Zhao Song took over, it did not follow Zhao Wuwu's established plan, so the East Factory gained a glimmer of life.
Mu Baili even thought that if Zhao Wuwu didn't fall in love with him at that time, but blindly went against himself, when Zhao Song came back and believed in his daughter, and continued according to his daughter's established plan, it was estimated that Dongchang would have to be poked out of a big basket by Zhao Wuwu.
Therefore, Mu Baili is very happy, and he is glad that he slept first.
At night, Mu Baili began to climb the wall again.
Zhao Wuwu stayed up once during the day, slept for a long time, and couldn't sleep at night. It seemed that it was impossible to go to bed early, so she simply sat up and looked for a book to read, holding the "Historical Records" casually, but accidentally turned to the book of Qin Shi Huang, and her fingertips paused slightly.
In the candlelight, Zhao Wuwu let out a long breath and looked thoughtfully at the words on the paper. Something went through clearly in her mind, but it made her whole heart start to ache.
If all the beads are found, should she go back? Can I go back?
If it's gone, what about the people here? What about here? What will be the result of my own departure? With so many people, can she really let it go?
She has lived here for eighteen years, and although some of the memories are really hard to remember, this is the whole of her life.
As if he was a little afraid, Zhao Wuwu casually put the scroll on the desk, pushed open the back window, and stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the pear orchard outside. In spring, the pear blossoms bloom, and Yin Yin is better than the snow. Plum has a dark fragrance, and pear fragrance is elegant.
With a long exhale, she lowered her eyes, and with some annoyance, she gently put her fingertips on the window lattice, and knocked on the window lattice irritably, making a faint sound.
But she didn't know that someone behind her picked up the historical book, and looked at the page she opened with slightly gloomy eyes.
Stunned, Zhao Wuwu turned around quickly, she opened her mouth and almost wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Mu Baili was staring at the page she had turned with interest, and glanced at her thoughtfully.
In Mu Baili's opinion, Zhao Wuwu's expression was a little weird, and he didn't seem to want him to see this.
The so-called coincidence coincides with your panic, but it catches you off guard.
"It's good, why do you just look at this?" Mu Baili sat down and continued to check.
Zhao Wuwu was still standing at the window, since it was too late, there was no need to stop it. Otherwise, the more nervous you are, the more Mu Baili will feel that there is something wrong with it. Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuwu said, "It's just a casual flip!" β
"Feeling bad?" He asked, and didn't look at her.
"Who said that?" She rubbed her eyebrows, "It's just a little headache!" β
"Is it because Jian Yan is getting married?" Mu Baili asked casually.
Zhao Wuwu rolled his eyes and turned his back to him.
Only then did he turn his head to look at her back, his eyes darkened slightly, "Why don't you speak?" β
"Interesting?" She asked, "If you are really distressed, should you go to Jane's house and cry?" Then begging Jian Yan to marry me? Or did I leave everything behind, walk away with him, and promise him the mountains and rivers that he promised, and become a beautiful conversation of talents and beauties in the world? Maybe when the time comes, Chitose Ye will still be able to learn from the mouth of the storyteller under the overpass that I only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. β
Mu Baili sneered, "I can really think about it, I can run out of the capital." β
"Why, if I really want to leave, can you keep me with a single Dongchang?" She replied indifferently.
It was just a joke, but he suddenly recognized it. He immediately put down the scroll in his hand, walked behind her, pulled her body strongly, and pinched her delicate jaw.
Looking at each other, Zhao Wuwu frowned, "What are you doing?" β
"I wonder, is that true?" He asked.
"Which one?" She thought about it, and then she understood, but it didn't matter. Some things are predestined and no one can change them.
There was silence all around, and Mu Baili bowed her head to her soft lips, melting all the syllables between her words. Zhao Wuwu was suffocated, and subconsciously grabbed his waist, and he was holding the back of his head tightly and couldn't move.
All the air was plundered by someone, and she desperately fought for the right to breathe, but accidentally fell into someone's trap, and was entangled by her tongue.
After a long time, realizing that her face was suffocating, his slightly punitive gnawing was over.
Zhao Wuwu touched his slightly sore lips, "If you bite it again, I won't have to go out to meet people tomorrow!" β
"That's better, so you don't have to run to Jian's house, and whoever you are, only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals." He was a little angry, and picked her up, "I'm not afraid of getting tired after standing for so long, and my body is all right?" β
Hugged by him, Zhao Wuwu sneered twice, "What do you have to do with it?" β
"Because I want to do something bad with Lord Zhao, I have to talk to Lord Zhao and make Lord Zhao happy now." He said extremely unorthodox words in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu's heart was pounding, and a soft fist fell on him, "Why are you such a scoundrel?" This unmatched, fornicating disciple, is not afraid that I will accidentally give you a cub in the coming day, so that you can't eat and walk around? β
He paused, but looked at her with a smile.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that Zhao Wuwu's body was already extremely cold, and it was unlikely that such a thing would happen. Even, it is likely that she will never have the opportunity to become a mother in her life.
"If you dare, I'll raise it." He smiled gently, and the glimmer of the scorching stars between his eyebrows was so charming. Gently holding her and sitting on the soft couch, Mu Baili greedily sniffed the elegant fragrance on her body, "I have something to discuss with you today." β
She was stunned and stared at him in disbelief.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He frowned.
"You are nine thousand years old, Admiral of Dongchang, everything is finalized with a rod, why are you so polite today?" She smiled and teased, "Looking at the Chitose Lord, I think the lady in the house is not gentle and considerate enough, and I want to take a few more concubines to warm up the cold air of the edict?" Well? β
Her tail note is long, and her words are sneering, but her timbre is soft and soft, which makes people's hearts itch.
Mu Baili narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "How do you listen, a smell of vinegar?" β
"No way, the house has been closed for too long, and it will inevitably be a little moldy and smelly. Ferment the vinegar to kill and sterilize by yourself, and it is always better to be poured by others on the same day! "Zhao Wuwu is not easy to mess with.
Mu Baili smiled, his eyes were full of glimmers, and she was the only one in the inky pupils, "I'm telling you the truth, there is something about your father." β
With slightly heavy eyebrows, Zhao Wuwu stared at him, "My fatherβwhat's wrong with him?" β
"The locust plague in Yunyouzhou three years ago, you know, right?" Mu Baili asked.
Zhao Wuwu nodded, "I know, I originally wanted to go with my father that time, but I couldn't bear it, so I went home not long after leaving the city." Since then, I have never been out of the capital, and I dare not go out of the capital. It was also from that time that the doctor gave her a fate.
With a long exhale, Zhao Wuwu frowned slightly, "It's so dignified, why did you suddenly mention the locust plague in Yunyouzhou, do you want to eat locusts?" β
Mu Baili knew her poisonous tongue, so he immediately said, "I'm tracking down the traitor of Tiran. β
"Don't you want to suspect the past?" She smiled, "Because of my relationship? β
"It's self-inflicted." He sneered, "With Lord Zhao's body and bones, does this seat need to be taken into account so much?" β
She rolled her eyes, "That's right, my body is not enough for the Chitose Lord to toss, so the Chitose Lord has to be merciful today, otherwise he won't have to play." β
He looked at her helplessly, why did she always have the ability to take it when something came to her?
"I suspect that this traitor may be in the court of Daye." Mu Baili voiced his doubts.
Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Explain in advance, my father is not a barbarian, and it is impossible for him to go to your northern Xinjiang to be a traitor to the Wu clan." β
"Nonsense!" Mu Baili sneered, "I naturally know, Zuo can't - the possibilities in this world are too great, there is nothing that can't be done, only what can't be imagined." If the traitor is not in the imperial court, how did Daye know about the butterfly Gu? To wage war between nations is not something that ordinary people can do. β
Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, if he wanted to start a war, it was not enough to instigate the courtiers, he had to bewitch the monarch and make the king fall in love with him, so that he could be desperate. Thinking about it this way, Mu Baili's speculation is also reasonable, if this traitor is really in Daye's court, then this official rank must not be low.
Thinking like this, Zhao Wuwu only felt a chill down his spine.
has been in the court for so many years, and she really hasn't noticed that there is anyone in this court who is living with a face. People's hearts are separated from the belly, who knows that this face must also be separated by a layer of skin.
Who could it be?
Or maybe it was some official's mansion that raised a traitor from Tiran.
Before Zhao Wuwu could figure it out, her body suddenly sank, and someone had begun to become restless, and a pair of hands roamed around her arbitrarily. Fingertips are skillful, like an old horse knowing the way. Men can really understand some things without a teacher, or even to the point that they can't understand it anymore. In this regard, women are indeed weak, both in terms of physical strength and reaction speed, they are not as agile as men.
So in this physical strength contest, Zhao Wuwu only lost to him alone.
She looked at him helplessly, like a beast that didn't know what to eat, looking for a place that belonged to him. Carry out the warmth of this negative distance to the end, and she can't refuse.
He naturally has his ability, and he always has the ability to make her evolve from the initial rejection to the desire to refuse and welcome, and finally with him, he can not be himself. Heaven and hell are just a thought.
You are in love with heaven, and I will ask you to let the Buddha cross the light of the sky to you safely.
If you want to go to hell, I will protect you from the path of a hundred ghosts.
Never give up, never die.
Happy-happy with each other's pleasure, happy with each other's pleasure, the love, hatred, and hatred in this world are vividly exerted at this moment. You have me, I have you, may this moment last for eternity.
But there will always be an end to things in this world.
Zhao Wuwu felt that he had been tossed to death once, and the ghost door was closed and walked around, but he was still dragged back.
The blurry eyes are met by his rebelliousness and domineering. He led thousands of troops and conquered her fortress, became her king, and occupied all her cities.
Bend the bow and put the arrow on the string.
Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired, and thousands of iron cavalry attacked the city gate, and the arrogant soldiers drove straight into the Yellow Dragon. This battle between the two armies was exchanged for the death of all the soldiers defending the city, and the victory cheers of the enemy army, scattering this essence and blood on every inch of the city.
One day, this city will bring new life, a painful and happy transformation process that every woman will experience.
Gently holding Zhao Wuwu in his arms, Mu Baili kissed her eyebrows lightly, and looked down at her long eyelashes hanging down on the porcelain muscles, with a very good-looking silhouette. The silhouette was gently blown as he breathed.
She was so tired that she couldn't sleep tossing and turning earlier, but this time she didn't even have the strength to lift her eyelids.
He leaned into her ear and licked her cool earlobe softly, "Sleep well!" β
She tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled peacefully.
The candlelight is swaying, and the arms are warm.
This scene is quiet, but it reminds people of a sentence: If you have to become a star, why die, and be willing to be a mandarin duck and not an immortal.
Zhao Wuwu slept peacefully, and he never told Mu Baili what kind of pain she had endured during the day. But there are some things, even if she doesn't say it, he knows it. Spreading out her palms and looking at the nail marks on her palms, he understood how deep her forbearance was.
The warm fingertips gently caressed every trace of her palm, and the light in her eyes swept through the pain. He couldn't replace her with these things, and he couldn't hurt for her, only if she got through it herself, it would be feasible.
She is not a hypocritical person, so she doesn't want to say anything.
He understood, but he couldn't say much.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Baili carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her. He always remembered that she was afraid of the cold.
Zhao Wuwu slept very well, and in a trance, she seemed to hear Murong talking again, and then crying. There was a messy cry, mixed with chaotic footsteps, and the sound of cold arrows whistling past me.
But in the dark, she couldn't see anything clearly.
She didn't know what was going on.
Only in that piece of fire rushed to the sky, there was a little light.
Zhao Wuwu wanted to shout, but her voice couldn't make a sound, and in desperation, she had to go straight to the fire. In the firelight, she saw many people running, screaming, and struggling in the fire.
Wailing was everywhere, and corpses were everywhere.
Finally, she saw the back of a man. The man stood in the firelight, and coldly gave an order, "No chickens and dogs will be left!" β
The moment the knife fell, a head suddenly rolled to Zhao Wuwu's feet, startling her to scream in shock. opened his eyes in an instant, sat up from Mu Baili's arms, and the cold sweat on his body came out layer after layer.
Mu Baili looked at her with his eyebrows, only to see that her body was trembling a little, he wanted to wake her up. But before he could speak, she woke up.
Zhao Wuwu, who was awakened by the nightmare, was wooden, and the whole person sat there in a circle, gasping for breath. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his face was as white as paper.
He gently took her into his arms and pressed her to the warmest position on his chest, "Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare." β
Zhao Wuwu hadn't recovered from the nightmare yet, and the shadowy nightmare made her very helpless, "Do you know that my nightmare has been with me for many years, and this time has become clearer and clearer. β
She paused, her eyes glowing with a little mistle, "I don't know why, I used to dream of that scene and I always felt scared and frightened, but now I just want to cry." β
She is not the kind of person who will cry easily, but she really feels very sad and wants to cry inexplicably.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, the only thing I'm afraid of is that one day a nightmare will come to me, and I can't bear it." She choked up, and suddenly reached out to hug his neck tightly, hugging him tightly, "Mu Baili, do you understand that feeling?" It's just that there are some things that actually exist in the depths of your memory, but you have forgotten them for a while. β
"One day, memories flood and you suddenly realize that the so-called nightmare is actually a part of your forgetfulness, and that fear will be worse than death."
Mu Baili frowned, "You forgot something, what did you dream about?" β
"Sea of fire." She whispered, extremely reluctant to recall that scene again, "Someone shouted at me in a dream, and the chickens and dogs were not left." β
He was stunned, "Who is it?" β
She shook her head, "Except for Murong who appeared in my dream, all the people are blurry, and I can't see who they are, so I feel scared." If you can see it clearly, maybe you won't be so scared. β
"There is also fire in my dreams, a memory of the time when the palace was burned," he said. β
Zhao Wuwu still hugged him tightly, "We all have to be good." β
He reached out and gently stroked her smooth back, and responded gently, "Okay." β
Zhao Wuwu didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he didn't sleep at all, hugging each other and talking. But there is nothing to talk about between them, except for the government and the government. Speaking of the wilderness, he talked about his Tiran.
He said, "One day I will take you back to Tiran, and I haven't been back for many years."
She nodded, squeezed his hand tightly, and took it as a promise he had made. I don't remember who said it, but a man's greatest trust in a woman is to meet her parents, and a woman's greatest trust in a man is in the house.
So their trust has been built up and tends to be solid.
They talked about the incident in Yunyouzhou three years ago, and Zhao Wuwu was relatively clear about this, after all, she had done a lot of homework for Yunyouzhou and her party. It's just that she didn't make the trip later, so she has been a pity for a long time.
"The prefect of Yunyou Prefecture has returned to his hometown last year, and now he is a new appointee, and he doesn't have much background. After all, Yunyouzhou is a bitter cold place, and there is really no oil and water, so not so many people are willing to go there. Zhao Wuwu said, "My father went to Yunyouzhou for disaster relief back then, and there was only his henchman Chen Ping by his side, and he didn't bring many officials. β
"Since he is Xue Lan's master, he should at least be a military general. Among the people who accompanied him back then, there were not many generals. I remember General Wang Huan, General Li Chenβ"
Suddenly, Zhao Wuwu suddenly paused, glanced at Mu Baili, and said again, "Li Chen? β
That's right, Li Chen!
The right-hand man by King Qiyou's side!
