When they first came to the imperial capital a few days ago, Liulang took He Mai to play around the city a few times, and after eating a nearby donkey meat baked cake, He Mai has been thinking about it.

He Mai suddenly wrote a letter asking the man to leave it to Liulang, and asked him to mention this donkey meat baked cake shop, if she wrote these four words for no reason, Liulang would never believe it.

Placing the letter on the candle and burning it, Rokuro turned and walked out of the room.

After walking two streets west of the post house, and arriving at the shop of donkey meat and baked cakes, Rokuro swept around and first saw the flower cloth hanging in front of a tavern.

The flower cloth was the swaddling clothes on Mu He's body, and it was torn and hung under the cloth at this time, which was bright and very eye-catching.

Rokuro quickly went up and put the cloth in his pocket, but instead of rushing in, he walked around the two nearby streets, checking for anyone behind him.

After a round around the four, Rokuro went to the tavern.

The shopkeeper of the tavern was a man in his thirties, with two goatees, and when he saw someone coming in, he came over with a smile and greeted, "What kind of wine do you order?" ”

Rokuro glanced at him lightly, looked at the decoration on the four walls of the tavern, and asked lightly: "I don't like to drink wine, but the donkey meat baked cake next to me often comes to eat." ”

The shopkeeper's mung bean-like eyes blinked, "Then I know what you said, follow me to the back, there is this wine you want in the back." ”

"I'm tired." Rokuro bowed slightly.

The small tavern had a hole in the sky, and after the shopkeeper took Rokuro around and around, he came to an extremely hidden house, raised his hand and knocked twice on the broken door, "Brother, the donkey meat baked cake man is here." ”

There was a low echo from inside, and the door opened.

"Rokuro!" It was He Mai who opened the door, holding Mu He in his arms, with a worried look on his face.

The shopkeeper nodded slightly to them, took two steps back, and left the front of the house.

Rokuro flashed into the house and quickly closed the door.

"Is anyone following?" He Mai asked.

"Nope." Rokuro breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the people in the room.

Yan Cheng seemed to be injured, sitting on the bed with his left arm crossed, Xiao Wu looked at him worriedly from the side, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore when they met in the palace yesterday.

"What's going on?" Rokuro walked over with a frown.

He Mai explained in a low voice: "Yesterday, the emperor entered Xiao Wu's bedroom, moved with his senior brother, and was injured. ”

Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and he muttered, "I hurt Brother Yan...... Brother Liulang, you came from outside, did you see the person following you? ”

Rokuro shook his head and said, "I didn't see anyone following me." I went to the palace before, and now the palace gate has been sealed. The emperor knew about your departure and made a fire in the imperial study for a day. But...... The emperor also kept the agreement with you, and did not send troops out to find your whereabouts. ”

"It's me who has failed His Majesty's love," Xiao Wu shook his head sadly, "But the situation was urgent at that time, if I didn't leave with Brother Yan, Brother Yan wouldn't be able to escape the palace!" ”

Yan Cheng's face was bloodless, his head was lowered, and he said with a wry smile: "I originally wanted to save you from the palace, but I insisted on going my own way and didn't ask your wishes. ”

Liulang looked at them in amazement, "I'm afraid you misunderstood the emperor, and the emperor didn't give you a hunt and kill order." ”

He paused, saw a look of disbelief on Yan Cheng and Xiao Wu's faces, and said solemnly: "What I said is true." I went to the palace today, but I didn't see the emperor, so the commander of the forbidden army stopped me. The scenes in the palace were all told to me by him. Yan Cheng, how are your injuries? ”

"The injury is fine," Yan Cheng turned pale, "Liulang, what ...... I wonder if Xiao Wu can go back? ”

"Back to the palace!?" Xiao Wu himself was frightened by Yan Cheng's thoughts, "How can I go back?" Brother Yan, don't talk nonsense! ”

Leave the palace with the Assassins in front of the Emperor, and if you go back......

What awaits Xiao Wu is self-evident.

Xiao Wu himself was already full of guilt, feeling that he was extremely sorry for Zhu Jiulong, but he didn't have the courage to go back to the palace to challenge Zhu Jiulong's might.

"Little Wu, it's okay," Yan Cheng looked at her encouragingly, "The emperor has always looked at you differently, not to mention that you still had a relationship ten years ago, as long as you go back and repent sincerely, the emperor will definitely be able to forgive you." And ......"

He paused, barely pulled out a smile and said, "I'll go back with you." ”

In Xiao Wu's astonishment, he said: "It's all because of me that you are so depressed." I will go back to the palace with you, ask the emperor for the guilt, and take all the blame on me, and your majesty will surely believe that you left the palace with me because you were coerced by me, and because you were afraid that I would attack the emperor, so you had to leave with me as a last resort. ”

"How's that going to work? Brother Yan, don't say it, I don't agree-" Xiao Wu resolutely interrupted Yan Cheng's words.

But Yan Cheng took care of himself and made a decision, "Xiao Wu, in my life, there are only three people who are the most sorry. ”

"Master, sister, and you." He took a deep look at He Mai, and finally fell on Xiao Wu's body, "Senior sister, I'm sorry for you, and even more sorry for the master." Because I listened to Lin Hemiao's slander, I almost made a big mistake and imposed a trumped-up charge on the master, and you had to be displaced outside and suffer so much. I'm sorry for the importance that my master once valued me, and I'm even more sorry for the care and favor you and my wife took care of me. ”

"Senior brother, don't say those words." He Mai saw some resolute attitude in Yan Cheng's eyes, and panicked, "Don't do stupid things!" ”

Yan Cheng didn't look at her, but instead looked at Liulang, "Liulang, if I hadn't taken this wrong step at the beginning, perhaps, you and I wouldn't have such a relationship today." ”

His eyes revealed some memories and yearning for the past, and Liulang saw it sincerely, knowing that Yan Cheng used to like Hemai.

If he hadn't made a mistake in becoming Donglin's puppet under Lin Hemiao's slander, I'm afraid that the relationship between the two men today would be rivals.

"Take good care of my sister, she is the best woman in the world, and she deserves to be treated with sincerity." Yan Cheng's words are like a promise and an entrustment.

Xiao Wu's expression was a little flustered, she could see that Yan Cheng seemed to be explaining something, such an attitude could only prove that what he was going to do next would surprise everyone.

Yan Cheng turned around slowly, looked at Xiao Wu, and smiled apologetically, "Xiao Wu, at the beginning of our acquaintance, I had a very unfriendly attitude towards you, seeing Xu Zhuofu torture you, and I didn't make a move until the end, now that I think about it, watching you suffer, but I watched coldly, I really hate myself to death." ”
