Chapter 169: Face to Face
"But it went around in circles. Don't you know? Ximen Hao chuckled disapprerovingly. Then check the relationship between Ximen Yi and the Jiangnan side. You can't go wrong. ”
"Yes." Chen Mo said.
"It's really a lady." Su Ran muttered quietly.
Ximen Hao followed the sound and looked back at the Su Dye painting behind him. A light flashed in his eyes.
And Chen Mo heard Su Ranhua's words. He was slightly stunned. Although Ximen Hao asked him to continue to check Ximen Yi. But he didn't think about Concubine Shu at all. The woman who dwells in the deep palace. has the ability to cross Ximen Yi to control the people outside the palace.
But. It can be seen from Ximen Hao's expression. Su Ran is right.
"Let's go back to Mingyue Tower first." Ximen Hao said.
The crowd was hidden in the night. Quietly returned to the city. It's dawn. The sky was bright.
"Don't make any announcements that you've found us." Returned to Mingyue Tower. Ximen Hao confessed. "Don't touch those killers yet. Let them continue their search along the river below the cliff. Let Imperial Doctor Liu take advantage of this time to confess his guilt to the emperor. Before we show up. First solved the matter of Su Dye's painting. ”
Then. Ximen Hao explained his arrangements to Chen Mo one by one.
Su Ran returned to the room where she had stayed. After eating something. Lie down and rest. I wanted to squint a little longer. But as soon as you close your eyes. The figure of Ximen Hao appeared in his mind. Consistently cold and suddenly soft superimposed. Sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's blurry.
Ximen Hao's natural domineering spirit and evil handsome appearance can show his unique charm. It's not like Ximen Yi's peach blossom overflow. It's not as cunning as Su Luocheng. It's not as pure and weak as Simon Zhe.
He was ruthless and cruel. But the attitude towards her is incomprehensible.
He hated her. There are good reasons for that. Designed by someone. Marry a woman you don't love. It's someone else's child who is still pregnant. These are enough to make every man resentful.
But. He would even gamble with her. Exchange one percent of her life for her future. It's not a sentence that wants her to do things for him. If you want to subdue her, you can explain it.
This is not an equivalent transaction. He can train countless men who are diehard with him. There is no need to trade her for a slim life.
There is only one reason that can explain this unusual move. That is, Ximen Hao's feelings for her are special.
Su Ran was taken aback by his thoughts. She is not good at figuring out men's thoughts, and for the first time, she thinks about a man very seriously. One that had made her hate. Annoys her. and rescued her from the sword of death. Or the man who almost died with her.
Ximen Hao was completely different from the man she had met in her previous life. The man had nothing but love for her from beginning to end. But in the end, he ended her life with his own hands. But Ximen Hao saved her while hating her.
Su Ran felt that his head was so messy. He smashed his forehead with his fist. Obviously, I don't believe in any man's emotions anymore. But she really wanted to think about Ximen Hao thoroughly. Want to prove your guesses. Want to know him...... Is it in love with her.
What if you really fall in love?
Chen Mo was ordered to do something. Ximen Hao was left alone in the room. Glanced into the room where there was no second person. I sat down in a chair. Said coldly. "The king knows you're there. Come out. ”
A very small voice rang out. The man in black flashed out of the tent. Sitting opposite Ximen Hao with his arms crossed. With a very shallow smile in his eyes. "This is the first time we've sat and talked peacefully face to face."
Ximen Hao glanced at the man in black. When his people set their hearts on searching for him. Just gave the man in black the opportunity to sneak into the Mingyue Tower. It's not because Mingyue Tower's defense is lax. It's that this man in black has unfathomable abilities. Be more vigilant against him. If at the usual level. It has no effect on him.
Like last time. I sneaked into this room smoothly. I just used the guards downstairs to deal with it. didn't expose the people of Mingyue Tower. But it turned out that both of them were hit by the lore grass.
He used Su Dye painting to transfer the poison in time. And this man in black has detoxified the deep poison.
Ximen Hao stared intently at the man in black. Eyes opposite his eyes. In a trance. He had the illusion of facing his own shadow.
"Want to see me. Don't open your mouth yet. It's really the prince's shelf. The man in black said jokingly.
"You know I'm going to see you. So deliberately never appeared. Ximen Hao said coldly. This time he really expected it wrong. The man in black did not appear in time for the Bright Moon Tower. It's because he knows his own mind too.
There are such opponents. Not to be underestimated. What's even more of a headache is. I didn't even know anything about the man in black.
"Do you have another poison in your territory? I'm not sure I'll ever be so lucky. The man in black smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Give the antidote to the lore grass to this king. This king owes you a favor. Ximen Hao said his deal.
"Aren't you all right?" The man in black glanced at Ximen Hao. The way of nothingness.
"You don't have to ask." Ximen Hao said. "Exchange the antidote of the lore grass for the king's greatest favor. When necessary. Can be your one of the gold medals for avoiding death. ”
"Huh. You expected me to lose one day. The man in black laughed.
"Don't be too arrogant. It's always good to give yourself a path. Ximen Hao's cold voice carried a stern warning.
The man in black knew that Ximen Hao had a rare patience with him, all because of the antidote to the lore grass. looked at Ximen Hao's cold face. Lower your hands around your chest. Lean forward. Close to Ximen Hao. His eyes shone with an unknown meaning. Deep voice. "It's for Su Dye painting."
"This king wants to detoxify her." Ximen Hao did not deny it. He had a gut feeling. The person in front of him didn't want Su Ran to have any accidents.
"You gave her poison. Now I want to ask me for an antidote, be a good person. You're really cheap and good. The man in black retracted. Leisurely crossed legs. "Should I be the right person to be this good person?"
"Then you go and detoxify her now." Ximen Hao said without thinking. As long as the poison of Su Dye's painting is solved. It doesn't matter who does this good deed.
"Let me tell her by the way. Is her discomfort because you used her to remove the poison from your body? The man in black didn't seem to be satisfied with Ximenhao's compromise. Continue to add firewood to light the fire.
"The king doesn't want to talk about the past. The king does not mention her past. And she should not care about what the king had done to her in the past. Ximen Hao said. This was his decision after escaping death with Su Ranhua.
"Haha. You can really understand what I've said. The man in black laughed. This is to show that you don't care about her past. ”
said. The man in black paused slightly. Raised eyebrows. "You're just like me. Fell in love with that woman. ”
