Smelling the empty breath, I knew that I had left the city guard's mansion, and Yao closed the city gate was my only hope. It's not easy to think that the green lotus has brought me to break through late at night, and I just hope that Ah Ping can bring someone to arrive in time, otherwise it will be the sky and the earth will be wide when he rushes out of the city gate, and it will be difficult to find our traces.

But I was wrong, Green Lotus didn't go in the direction of the city gate at all, and for nearly a quarter of an hour she carried me on her back and ran away at a very fast speed. I, a person who had just given birth to a baby and had hundreds of pounds, was easily picked up by her.

After running like this for half an hour, I smelled the smell of grass, and the sense of space was very large, and it was not surprising that I arrived in a wild place. The green lotus put me off my back, only to feel a pain in the center of my eyebrows, my consciousness quickly condensed at that point, my eyes suddenly opened, and I woke up from my stupor.

His eyes focused and he saw the calm face of the green lotus. At this point, I didn't want to analyze whether she was judging the two of them, and my first instinct was to look away at my surroundings. But it could be the after-effects of my drowsiness, or it could be the darkness before dawn, and it was dark all around, and the faint shadows of the trees seemed to be in a wood.

When the night is dark and the wind is high, the shadows of those trees are like dark beasts with teeth and claws, opening their huge mouths and threatening to pounce on us at any moment.

"You must hate me." In silence, Green Lotus suddenly spoke.

I turned my eyes back to her and asked, "Why should I hate you?" Her eyes flashed, as if confused, and I chuckled, "It's just that each is his own master." "When I first realized that it was a green lotus, I would feel angry, annoyed, and even resentful, but when I calmed down, all these emotions dissipated.

Lu He is obviously not from the Ming Dynasty, she has the object and country of her allegiance, everything she does is to be loyal to her master, what reason do I have to hate her?

I'm just curious, "What nationality are you?" ”

The green lotus's eyes dimmed, and he replied to me with two words: "Beiyuan." I raised an eyebrow, and it seemed reasonable. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols occupied the land of our Han people, even if Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the world to drive them out, but there must be a lot of forces in the Central Plains, and even infiltrated the palace. But what I couldn't figure out was: "Since you are from the Northern Yuan, how could you still be so desperate to kill the Northern Yuan Army on the battlefield before?" ”

"Before today, I was a member of the Ming Dynasty, your maidservant, they were the enemy Northern Yuan Army, I should fight hard to kill the enemy, otherwise how could I live to this day?" The words that Green Lotus uttered were emotionless, like a cold machine.

I asked her, "You used to be a killer?" ”

saw her shake her head: "I'm not, it's unqualified to be a killer with my kung fu." So I spent as much time as I could on poison and anesthetic, and one thing, believe it or not, I still want to tell you that I didn't really want to kill you. The poison of the toad was extracted by accident after coming to Yaoguan, and although its toxicity was violent, it was not incurable. What I need is a time, a time that can allow the Northern Yuan army to cache, otherwise my 100,000 Northern Yuan army will be wiped out under the circumstances at that time. ”

What she said made me believe, because if she had more chances to kill me, even if she had only to follow my advice on the battlefield and go down to the carriage to help the Jinyi guards fight the enemy, maybe I would have been gone. So she said that she didn't want to really kill me, but she didn't understand one thing, that is, most people want to come openly, not to be stabbed in the back. And the premise of her not killing is not to care about our master and servant, but that my life is more valuable than death.

It's like at this moment, she robbed me out of the castle guard's mansion, which is far more valuable than killing me on the spot.

So I said softly with a sarcastic smile: "Then thank you for not killing." ”

Green Lotus turned her face awkwardly, and instead I looked at her and asked, "When you make a move on Yan Qi, will your heart hurt?" After a pause, she replied, "No." I snorted lightly, "Then I will definitely remind Yan Qi when I have the opportunity in the future, don't trust women again, especially the women you like." ”

One thing is certain, she really has no feelings for Yan Qi, not even the slightest affection.

"You must think I'm ruthless, but Yan Qi said that he liked me secretly, didn't he still trick me? In this world, people must be wary of each other, and no matter how close they are, they may become your enemies in the next moment. ”

"Aren't you tired of it?" If we are on guard against the people around us every moment, aren't we tired? I think it's going to be tiring. Just like Ah Ping, I still believe in him when he breaks the archetype in my perception again and again, because if even the closest person needs to be guarded, then this person will live too sadly. In the same way, trust is mutual, and when you give trust to others, they will trust you in turn.

A complicated glow flashed in Green Lotus's eyes, but he only said, "We have different ideas. ”

I sighed, yes, the philosophy is different. Just like I don't understand that treating people with sincerity is not hostile to the country and hatred, and she thinks that people should have distance and defensiveness between people.

After a moment of silence, Green Lotus suddenly asked me, "Do you remember your original maidservant?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't react, it turned out that the maidservant? Seeing this, Lu Lotus smiled and explained: "It's the palace maid named Qingling before I came, and you asked me where she went." ”

I remember this reminder that Qingling was my personal maid when I was in Ah Ping's original dormitory, and then I fainted under Concubine Lu's breath incense, and I never saw her again when I woke up, and then I changed into a green lotus to serve me.

I don't understand why Green Lotus mentioned her at this time, is there something else hidden in it?

I only heard Lu He say: "At that time, I answered that you didn't know, in fact, all the people in His Highness's dormitory knew that the palace maid named Qingling was ordered by the prince to be killed with a cane in public." I cried out in horror, "What did you say? ”

Lu He still looked at me calmly: "You heard me right, Qing Ling died, it was ordered by His Royal Highness to be killed in public." That miserable cry is believed to have been engraved into the hearts of everyone present at that time, and it also warned everyone in the dormitory not to treat you lightly. At the same time, it is also an example to let Concubine Lu see that if you are moved, then you will not want to be peaceful, even if Qingling is the big palace maid arranged by her. It was the first time I had seen His Highness, and he was standing at the door, his eyes cold and merciless, witnessing the whole process of a life from birth to death, without even blinking his eyelids. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" I shouted urgently, and the moment she said it, the picture was revealed in front of my eyes, I couldn't believe that my Ah Ping would have such a ruthless side, and it was because of me.

Even if that palace maid was guilty, she was just slacking off on me, and she was actually killed with a rod when I didn't know it.

"I just wanted to tell you that you can be murderous and ruthless in order to protect the people you want to protect. I also have someone I want to protect, so I can understand His Highness's cruelty at that time. And as Xiao Qi said, you are the life of His Royal Highness, I will cut off his lifeline if I take you, even if he brings someone to catch up today, he will be restrained, or, I can give him a fight and bring him back to Beiyuan! ”

"Don't you think about it!" I couldn't help but cry out coldly, and she was moved by this thought. I warned in a cold voice that I had never heard before: "Green Lotus, listen, if you touch Ah Ping, I will never let you go." ”

She stared at me deeply and told the truth: "You have become a prisoner, why don't you let me go?" ”

Even so, I don't want to show weakness: "There is a kind of person in this world who is not afraid of life and death, not because she is brave enough, but because she has already seen life and death, and when she lives another life, she will cherish life more than anyone else, and she will not be afraid of death more than anyone else." You say that Ah Ping will be subject to you because of me when he catches up, but what if I become a dead man? Would you think I was a spear or a shield? Or the Shura knife that lures you to hell? ”

Successfully seeing the fear in the eyes of the green lotus, all I want is this fear, I must make her understand one thing, holding me in her hand is not necessarily a good chess, she can be reborn, or send her to hell. And she must not touch Ah Ping's thoughts, otherwise I can do it by burning all the jade.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from the dark night: "What a Shura knife." ”

My heart shook, is there anyone in this place? And why does this voice sound familiar? Just as he was about to follow the sound, he saw that the green lotus's reaction was unexpectedly calm, and although his eyes also looked towards the source of the sound, there was no surprise in his eyes.

So, who came she knew? Or did she bring me here to wait for this person?

I turned my head when I heard footsteps, and saw a figure walking slowly in the darkness, rummaging through the voice just now, I must have heard it, and it was recently. When the black shadow came closer, I happened to successfully match the voice with the person in my head, staring at the expressionless face in the deep darkness, and something was completely understood.

I sighed lightly: "It turned out to be you, Mu Bing." ”

At this point, everything is coherent and explained, and it also confirms one thing: there are no coincidences in this world.
