If it weren't for the current Mu Baili, he wouldn't have come forward in person, so as not to alarm everyone, and he would definitely not give up. That's why this time it was also Zao Wouji's fate, and he actually knew that he would run first.

On this trip, Zhao Wuwu never said a word to Jian Yan again.

Jian Yan just looked at her from a distance, and after all, she didn't come forward to talk about herself. He can pretend that he doesn't know anything, nothing has happened, and pretend that Jian Yan in that array is not himself, but Zhao Wuwu can't act as if nothing has happened.

Her own personal experience cannot be erased.

"How did Childe recognize Jian Yan in that formation, who was himself?" Su Xi was puzzled.

Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, "I was unwell at the time, and his first reaction was to betray him." He's going to get me medicine, and if it's Zao Wou-ki's people, there's no way he's going to do that. So I had mixed feelings at the time, and I can't tell you what it was like. ”

Su Xi sighed lightly, "Jian Yan is worried about Gongzi's thoughtfulness, but he has selfish intentions, and he only moved himself." What Childe wants, he can't give. ”

"That's it, don't mention it!" Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "No one has any evidence to prove that he colluded with Zao Wou-ki, so I don't want to empty my teeth and push him into a hurry in the end, which is not conducive to my trip." ”

After all, he is the princess's husband and the son-in-law of the emperor Laozi, if he pushes too hard, it will inevitably cause chaos.

If there is anything to do with Jian Yan, the princess is not easy to explain, and the emperor has no way to find an excuse. After all, this Jian Yan is the governor of the army appointed by the emperor, although his position is not high, but the meaning behind it is not small.

For this reason, Zhao Wuwu felt a headache, Jian Yan was like a thorn, you can't pull it out and you can't see it, it will hurt and be uncomfortable when you touch it.

Fortunately, there were no more twists and turns along the way, except for the danger of almost sinking that time, until Jinling City was in front of him, and a heart could not be counted. Although the road was bumpy and tortuous, fortunately, I had him in my heart, so I didn't feel like I was worried about anything.

When he sleeps at night, he will sneak in, coax her to sleep and quietly instill internal strength in her, so that she can rest well and have enough strength to withstand the hardships of the journey.

She actually knows it, but everyone doesn't have to say it, it's better to tacitly say it. Those words of gratitude and gratitude are not suitable for them.

It is already very close to Jinling City, but it is inconvenient to enter the city at night, so the soldiers began to set up camp and let people go to Jinling City to inform them, so as not to have many twists and turns tomorrow.

During the night, Mu Baili did not come back, and she knew that he must have left. Being able to send her to the vicinity of Jinling City is already the limit of what he can protect. The three armies at the border pass are still waiting for his decision, even if they submit a barren document, they have to guard the border pass.

Otherwise, if the three armies are leaderless, something big will happen.

In the quiet night, Zhao Wuwu gathered his clothes and stood outside the tent looking at the stars. There is no moon tonight, but the stars are very bright, just like fireflies, flickering and flickering, like his phoenix eyes.

It's nice to have someone put you to heart.

Looking back at the direction of Jinling City, Zhao Wuwu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that I was back again." ”

"I really didn't expect it, but I still came back here." ”

Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Su with a complicated expression, "Actually, I have been wanting to tell you something in the past few days, but I have been in poor health for the past few days, and I have been repeating it over and over again, so I didn't have time to tell you." ”

Since she came out of the mist array, her body has not been very good, if it weren't for Mu Baili who has been losing her internal strength, I'm afraid she would have been lying down a long time ago.

Coughing lightly twice, Zhao Wuwu's complexion turned slightly pale.

Hui frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"I suspect your brother is not dead." Zhao Wuwu looked at him.

"What?" "What do you mean by that?" ”

"It's literal." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, Su Xi came over with a cup of hot water, and sat on a stone in the open space with her. After drinking a few sips of hot water, the dry itch in my throat was slightly soothed, "The more I think about it now, the more I feel that this speculation has a certain degree of truth." In retrospect, you may have been deceived! ”

Wen Gu stiffened and stared at Zhao Wuwu hesitantly.

"You can see that you have doubted it too." Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "Since that time when Zao Wou-Ki was rescued, you have actually had doubts in your heart, haven't you?" ”

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Su Xi said, "Although he is a senior brother, but when it comes to his closest relatives, he must be able to leave this bit of affection behind, right?" If it is me, if anyone dares to hurt my husband and hurt my relatives, even if it is a master, he should deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and he will never hesitate. ”

Zhao Wuwu looked up at the silent Wen Shu, "I know you don't want to believe it in your heart, but the facts are the facts." How did your military map go missing? It must be someone who knows you well, and that person must be by your side. ”

"Second, the last time Zao Wou-Ki was rescued, didn't you doubt it? The third is that this mist array is from the hands of your senior brother. Refreshment, do you know what that means? ”

This means that one of them must be a traitor. Otherwise, it is impossible for this ghost palace disciple to easily cause trouble, unless someone disobeys the master's orders and causes trouble to the common people without authorization.

"Senior brother has never asked about the world, so he won't ......" he couldn't say anything about it.

"How else do you want to explain?" Su Xi asked, "Don't you feel tired of arguing for others?" His innocence has not yet been cleared, and he still wants to take care of others. Reminiscence, do you think this will make you feel at ease, or will you be able to forgive the deceased? ”

I smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

"I know that your senior brother can't set up a formation to harm me, but your senior brother has lost a book, and the formation recorded in it is the mist array that almost swallowed us a few days ago. I guess it can't be a coincidence, right? Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly, holding the cup in his hand, he still felt that his body was very cold.

Reverence nodded, it takes a certain amount of courage and perseverance to face his pain. He looked at Zhao Wuwu with a complicated expression, as if he was looking for a certain support point, which could give him enough courage to believe that he had no eyes and blind hearts.

Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Being able to steal something from your senior brother must not be something that ordinary people can do." You know what I mean. ”

"Maybe—it's really me, it'......s me," he said, unable to continue, his face turning terribly pale.

"Have you seen your brother's body?" Su Xi asked.

Wen Gu shook his head, "I was in a hurry to leave, I was in a hurry to take Murong out of Tilan, and I didn't care. I never went back after that, I just thought that the farther away from the land of right and wrong was the better. That was my sad place, I didn't dare to go back, so I really didn't know about him......"

"Do you remember the exact location?" Zhao Wuwu asked, "If you still remember, then you need to go back and confirm the traces." Even if you can't find it, you should give yourself a reason to feel at ease. ”

"Back to Tiran?" Shocked and shocked.

"Yes." Zhao Wuwu got up, "That desert buried the first half of your life, and Daye's deserted mansion will trap you for the rest of your life." But you don't even dare to face the first half of your life, how can you continue the second half of your life? ”

His eyes hesitated, and he could see that he was a little nervous. When I went back to face my homeland, I remembered the past battles and slaughters, and remembered the past of grievances and hatreds, and it hurt like Ling Chi.

"Let's go back and see!" Zhao Wuwu said meaningfully, "If you still know the way, I will also go to Tiran in the future." I wonder if the Tyran you speak of is the same as the situation in my dreams. It's like looking at the vast sand dunes, looking at your oases, and your date forests. ”

Wen frowned and looked at her, as if there was something else mixed in her words, which made people a little flustered.

"Maya's matter, I'll re-investigate." "After entering Jinling City, I will make arrangements as appropriate." ”

"That old owner of the Seven Star Villa is also a friend of your Wu clan, right?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

"You—How did you know?" ”

"Before I went to Jinling City, my mother deliberately gave me the jade pendant, saying that it was a peace charm. She insisted that I take it, saying that it would keep me safe. I didn't understand it earlier, but when I met you and knew that the jade pendant was something for you and Murong, I remembered my mother's instructions. Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "It must have been Murong who told her something before she died, so she gave me the jade pendant." ”

His heart trembled, and he stared at her intently, "What else did your mother say?" ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled, "What do you think she will say?" ”

Naturally, he didn't dare to guess, and he couldn't figure out Zhao Wuwu's thoughts. I just subconsciously hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"What my mother would say, it must be what is carved in that stone!" Zhao Wuwu smiled meaningfully, "Didn't you tell me that Murong carved something on the stone before he died?" ”

"Doctor Wen wants to steal it?" Su Xi joked.

Wen Gu smiled a little reluctantly, "No, this place with butterfly Gu engraved on it is of little use to you." But for me, it's the most precious thing. ”

Su Xi smiled, "Then take it out!" ”

"I—I've put it in the tent, and if you want to see it, I'll go and get it back." He made a gesture to leave.

"That's it!" Zhao Wuwu said, "You don't have to look at it, you can keep it!" ”

Wen frowned at her, slightly puzzled.

Zhao Wuwu let out a long breath, "There are some things, you don't need to see too much, just know it in your heart." She glanced meaningfully at Wen Gu, turned around, handed the cup to Su Xi, and walked towards her tent.

After taking a few steps, Su Xi stepped forward, "Childe, what's wrong?" Since this stone was left by Murong, it must be more important than his life to Wen Gu, how could he leave it? This must be hidden on the body, but it won't let you and me see it! ”

"Since you don't want to show it, then why bother to see more!" Zhao Wuwu's face was slightly gloomy, "If you see too much, you will be sad!" ”

Relieved, he didn't expect Zhao Wuwu to let him go easily. That stone was hidden in his sleeve, what Murong left behind was his lifeline, how could he leave?

Engraved on this stone is the eight characters of someone's time, and the name given by Murong.

Holding the stone with trembling hands, his eyes were full of tears, looking up at the starry sky, he refused to shed tears easily. After more than ten years of searching, the hard work finally paid off.

I thought that I would not see each other in this life, I thought that life and death were separated, but who knew that the day when we could meet would already be merciful. He was grateful to God for giving him a chance to make amends for his mistakes.

"I'll keep watch over her, don't worry!" He choked up, forcing back his tears.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Su clenched the stone chip in his palm, and it seemed that it was indeed time to face the first half of his life. The grievances and honors and disgraces in the first half of life, the love, hatred and sorrow in the first half of life, and the repayment of debts are all calculated clearly.

Fortunately, in this Jinling City, there are many old friends, and if you really want to start some things, it is more convenient. Staring at the direction of Zhao Wuwu's tent, she was not in good health, and she had to be given a good rest when she returned to the city, and then he went to the pharmacy to dispense some medicine.

Without Mu Baili by his side, Zhao Wuwu slept exceptionally unsteadily this night. There are always people buzzing in their ears, and their bodies are hot and cold. This Jinling City seems to be a nightmare, and the last time I came, I was so restless and weak.

I didn't expect this time, it's still the same.

Su Xi worriedly put a wet towel on Zhao Wuwu's forehead, and turned his head to look at Wen Gu, "Why do you have a fever again?" After taking so many medicines, I never got better. ”

"It's probably not very suitable for the water and soil climate of Jinling." "The last time she came to Jinling, I saw that her expression was wrong, she was too weak. ”

Su Xi sneered, "I naturally know that Childe's body is too weak, but aren't you a doctor?" ”

"I'm a doctor, but I'm not a Buddha?" Wen Gu glared at Su Xi, she was anxious, he was even more anxious, "Didn't you see that I was thinking of a way?" This Jinling City was hot and cold, making the cold poison in her body extremely unstable, so it affected the butterfly Gu. ”

"So what to do?" Su Xi asked hurriedly.

"It's not far from the barren border pass here, you send someone to inform you first, and say that we have to delay in Jinling City for a day or two, so that Gongzi can rest for a while. The rest of the things, presumably Mu Baili will look at it. He sighed lightly and glanced at Zhao Wuwu, who was asleep on the bed.

Su Xi nodded, "Enter the city as soon as dawn and let Gongzi have a good rest." ”

"Temporarily block the news, let's just say that it is to enter the city for rectification, so as not to shake the morale of the army and cause unnecessary trouble." Reminiscence.

"That's all there is to it!" Su Xi took a deep breath and slowly stood up, "You look at Childe, I'll arrange it." ”

"Good!" "I'll be careful." ”

glanced at Zhao Wuwu worriedly, and Su Xi hurried out the door.

Zhao Wuwu on the bed slept in a daze, in fact, she didn't fall asleep, she just couldn't open her eyes. The body is cold and hot for a while, which makes people feel weak. She thought to herself, it's good that Mu Baili is not here, otherwise he would not be at ease to go back.

Fortunately, he didn't let him see his weak appearance, which relieved him of worry.

In fact, she can hear the conversation between Shu and Su Xi, but she can't hear it very clearly! In a trance, she felt someone hold her hand and make a slight choking sound.

She thought, this is probably a refresher! There was no one else around her, and it was impossible for Su Xi to hold her hand while crying.

"If it weren't for my fault, you wouldn't be like this." Wen Gu took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, and didn't dare to touch her easily, "Even if I fight for my life, I will protect you." ”

The fingertips trembled slightly, Zhao Wuwu breathed slightly, she wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids sank terribly.

That's it!

But his heart was much more stable, and he really fell asleep.

The next day, Zhao Wuwu's mind was a little clearer, wrapped in a shawl to face the wind, and got into the carriage tremblingly. She coughed badly, and the closer she got to this Jinling City, the more uneasy she became, and her body was unwell.

She didn't know if it was a reaction to the soil, but she always felt that something was wrong.

The climate of Jinling City is always changeable, and it stands to reason that it should be a good weather because of the stars in the sky last night. However, the fact is that it is a little cloudy today, and it is going to rain.

It is not the first time Zhao Wuwu has come to Jinling City, so he is not a stranger to Jinling City. It's just that the last time I came secretly, this time I came by order, and I can swagger through the market openly.

It is very strange that among the officials who came to greet him, he did not see the city lord Liu Hongyi. It stands to reason that he should show up to greet such a scene.

Xu is aware that the atmosphere was wrong, and the leading official hurriedly said, "The city lord has been unwell recently, and now he is bedridden, so he can't greet him, and I hope Lord Zhao will be forgiving." ”

Zhao Wuwu coughed through the car door, his face was terribly pale. Taking a deep breath, she lifted the curtains and glanced outside, "It's okay, since you're not feeling well, it's good to rest." ”

When he left, Du Yurao's death was ...... It was probably a big blow to Liu Hongyi, and it is normal for him to avoid it now.

When the people outside heard Zhao Wuwu say this, they were naturally relieved, it was really not easy for this rude crime to be forgiven by Zhao Wuwu. After all, everyone knows that this Beijing official can't be offended, otherwise I don't know when to say a word in front of the emperor, and this Jinling City will have to change the sky.

However, Zhao Wuwu knew in his heart that Du Yurao's death was inseparable from herself, and she and Liu Hongyi's Liangzi were also married. The reason why he did not replace Liu Hongyi as the city lord after returning to the capital was actually a last resort.

This Jinling City is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. If you want to find someone who can replace Liu Hongyi and can control the border pass, there are indeed not many. What's more, the Liu family is deeply rooted in Jinling City, and it is not so simple if you want to eradicate Liu Hongyi.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Jinling City, although Zhao Wuwu is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, waiting in front of the emperor, after all, the emperor is far away, and the whip is beyond the reach.

Therefore, Liu Hongyi's matter can only be dealt with slowly, and it is impossible to remove Liu Hongyi from the position of city lord all at once.

It's unrealistic and too risky.

Zhao Wuwu was unwell, so he had to stay in Jinling City for a day. Because Zhao Wuwu ordered that the people should not be disturbed, there was no need for the city officials to come to greet him, so he settled in the Seven Star Villa.

It is also a fate in this Seven Star Villa, and when you enter the gate of Zhuangzi, no one dares to disturb easily, and it is indeed a good place to avoid chaos.

"Lord Zhao!" The owner of Seven Star Villa greeted him personally.

Zhao Wuwu's face was pale, he was still dressed in white, and he didn't change his old appearance, "Now I have to respect you as the master of Song Zhuang." ”

Zhong Haotian is no longer Zhong Haotian, his surname is Song, he should be Song Haotian's genius.

Hearing this, Song Haotian smiled, "A name is just a title." He clenched his fists, his eyebrows blurred into a shallow smile, "Lord Zhao, let's meet again!" ”

Zhao Wuwu bowed, "The matter of fate is really wonderful." ”

Walking slowly, everything in the Seven Star Villa didn't seem to have changed as it did when she left. She looked at this familiar scene, standing in the courtyard where she lived that day, with a little helplessness and slight coolness between her eyebrows.

"Is Lord Zhao uncomfortable?" Song Haotian frowned, "Your face looks ......"

"It's not a big deal." She laughed, "I'm just a little tired." ”

Song Haotian nodded and looked at her worriedly, "Then Lord Zhao should hurry up and rest, tomorrow I will personally send you out of the city and escort you to the border pass to join the three armies." ”

Zhao Wuwu half-lowered his eyebrows, and just said, "Thank you." ”

Then, there is relative silence.

When he came back, Zhao Wuwu began to have a fever again, which should be said to have not happened for a long time. Ever since she was close to Jinling City, her body had been a little abnormal.

Is it because of the cowardice of the hometown, which made the butterfly Gu in the body abnormal, so that the cold poison had a chance to expand wantonly? Or is there something else? It stands to reason that Zhao Wuwu is not the first time to come to Jinling City, even if the last time he was unaccustomed to the water and soil, then this time he should be fine.

"Why is this happening?" Su Xi was puzzled.

Wen Su shook his head, "I don't know, this cold poison is surging in her body. I always felt that it should be the butterfly Gu that had entered a deep sleep and given up the resistance to the cold poison. ”

"Is there any explanation for this?" Su Xi frowned.

Wen got up, "It's probably Murong's residual consciousness that has an impact on the butterfly Gu, but I don't know what it means here." The butterfly Gu belonged to the Wu clan, but after it was inherited by Murong, it changed in nature with Murong's temperament. I don't really understand the specifics. ”

Su Xi felt anxious, "That boy can't be sick like this all the time, right?" When I was in the capital, I didn't see such weakness all the way, and when I came to this damn Jinling City, it became like this? ”

Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuwu took off the wet towel on his forehead, "It's okay, I'm used to it, it's just uncomfortable!" Don't make a fuss, and don't speculate. No matter what thoughts Murong put into the butterfly Gu, now this butterfly Gu is on me. When the butterfly Gu is civilized and merges with me, it will become something exclusive to me. ”

"You two don't have to worry about going here, what should happen will happen, what's the use of you even if you have gray hair? This life and death are never in your hands or mine. ”

Neither of them was speechless when they heard this.

"Refreshed, does this Song Haotian have any relationship with you?" Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly.

"How do you know?" ”

"You can not be found by Dongchang in Jinling City, if it weren't for Liu Hongyi protecting you, it should be the Seven Star Villa protecting you." Zhao Wuwu's eyes narrowed, and his face was extremely pale.

Wen Su smiled reluctantly, "Since you asked, then I naturally have to tell you." Song Haotian is my apprentice, I noticed you when you came to Jinling City in the early years, but I didn't dare to approach you rashly at that time. Childe is really smart, and he can think of everything. ”

"If it weren't for the old owner Song seeing the jade pendant, he probably wouldn't trust me and leave such an important matter to me." Zhao Wuwu's eyes were slightly sick, and there was never much emotional fluctuation on his indifferent face.

But Wen Shu's heart was surging, and he was a little worried, worried that Zhao Wuwu was too smart, so that he thought of that layer.

"So I have reason to believe that you have some incomprehensible relationship with this Song family." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, only feeling a little brain pain, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyebrows, "You also said that your Wu clan and Daye have also moved, and this is how Murong was brought back by you." ”

Wen Gu nodded, "Seven Star Villa has some relationship with our Wu Clan, and it was often in contact in the early years, but it is not too close between the two countries, so they are all quietly exchanged. At that time, I was focused on Murong, so I didn't want to interfere in many things, lest I do too much and be noticed by others, and then I will be killed. ”

"In the past, Haotian and his mother were exiled, and I also met unexpectedly, so I properly settled their mother and son. It was also because of this that with the protection of their mother and son, I hid more secretly, so that when Dongchang fell into the hands of Mu Baili, he couldn't find me. ”

Zhao Wuwu looked at Wen Gu calmly, "Since this is the case, then you must still have some old friends in Jinling City." ”

"I know what you mean." Looking back, "I'll definitely ask someone to check on Maya's matter." If it really has something to do with Maya, I think I need to go to the elder brother. The door of the ghost palace is not allowed to be a traitor, and if it is a disaster, the door should be cleared. ”

"Good!" Zhao Wuwu didn't even ask much, such a concise and concise statement made Wen Su very surprised. With her acumen and wisdom, there should be no doubt.

Since he came into contact with Zhao Wuwu, he has been well versed in Zhao Wuwu's suspicious nature, but recently, he has ...... When did it start? Zhao Wuwu's suspicion seems to be getting less and less, what is the source of this gradually growing trust?

He thought that he had guarded the secrets in his heart very well, and it was impossible for Zhao Wuwu to know.

So, why exactly?

He couldn't find the answer, and he couldn't see through this girl's heart.

"That—I'll go find Haotian." A tentative opening.

Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "It's your own business, you don't have to tell me." ”

Wen suddenly felt a little lucky, if she hadn't met Mu Baili, no one would dare to ask her, right? This woman has been dressed as a man for too long, so she is good at calculating the little Jiujiu in men's hearts, and over time she has become a woman that men are afraid of.

With a sigh in his heart, he turned to leave.

Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, a little helpless, "Suxi, you go and find out what's going on with this Liu Hongyi?" ”

Su Xi was stunned, "Does Childe think that this Liu Hongyi may be unfavorable to Childe?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Zhao Wuwu's eyes were slightly gloomy, "I have a brocade guard and an escort army, if he dares to attack me, isn't it against the imperial court?" I just think this Jinling City is a little weird. Let's go to the border this time, we should always attack, retreat, and defend, and be foolproof. ”

"Ignorance, understood!" Su Xi bowed his head.

If this desolate land starts a war with Daye, this Jinling City will become the first line of defense to stop the desolate land. Therefore, Zhao Wuwu must prepare for the worst, if the peace negotiation fails, or Mu Baili's action fails, he must be fully prepared to retreat to Jinling City.

She has to find a way out for Mu Baili and herself in advance, so as not to get this Liu Hongyi's personal vendetta at the time, then she will suffer a big loss, and if she doesn't make a good scene, she will have to pay for everyone's lives here.
