Chapter 447: Calm Waves
The night is getting darker, and the quiet city after the curfew is falling asleep.
On the streets of Wolf City, the sound of the sergeant walking and the sound of the iron armor rubbing against each other are like softly whispering ballads, which make people feel at ease for no reason.
Ah Heng infiltrated the Governor's Palace, which was also quiet, the servants were putting the finishing touches on tomorrow's wedding, and the guards of the Ice Legion were patrolling unhurriedly.
Could it be that the orcs passed on false news, or the northern army in the city reacted too quickly, causing the raiders to abandon their original plan, all in all, whether it was Wolf City or the Governor's Palace, it was a normal night!
Ah Heng went straight to the back garden, which was different from the quiet, except for the colorful lanterns decorating the trees swaying in the wind, there was no half figure in sight. This is also a good thing, otherwise if there is a fight, it will inevitably hurt the innocent.
Ah Heng looked at the only room with the lights on, hesitated slightly, and walked over resolutely.
However, before he could get closer, he felt a familiar aura, and at the same time, two green rays of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Ah Heng found that he had been locked by several cold qi machines, and his heart was relieved, and he actually smiled.
Ah Heng stretched out his hand and wiped off the mask, and the two green rays of light immediately softened a lot, and a huge figure walked out of the darkness, it was actually a golden ice wolf!
The ice wolf was affectionately next to Ah Heng, rubbing his hand, indescribably well-behaved.
At the same time, the strange and cold aura around him also calmed down, and Ah Heng knew in his heart that these people must be the masters of the secret spy academy who protected Xiao Jin.
Ah Heng patted the ice wolf's head approvingly: With Daheng here, no one can launch a surprise attack, after the bloodline transformation of the ancient temple, Daheng, who has the ability to transform madness and immortality, has become one of the most powerful existences in the continent!
However, Ah Heng immediately became puzzled, Da Heng had always been regarded by Ye Shuang as more important than her own life, how could she suddenly appear here?
Ah Heng groaned, but saw that the door of the wing room had been opened, and a shadow appeared, it was Hu Lanjin.
"Ah Heng, is that you?" her voice was visibly surprised.
Ah Heng stepped forward with the ice wolf: "It's me!"
Hu Lanjin suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, letting go of her body, Ah Heng immediately saw the figure of a silver-haired girl, it was Nalan Xiaoxue, her face was a little pale, and her eyes were shy and complicated.
Seeing the silver hair in the shawl, Ah Heng's eyes stinged suddenly, he owed this girl too much! The girl in front of him exchanged her most precious life force for his rebirth, this situation, no matter how much he paid, it would be difficult to repay.
However, he can't give her happiness, and the fake phoenix Xuluan of tomorrow's wedding will only become a shackle to Nalan Xue's life and ruin the happiness of her life.
This should never be the fate of this beautiful and strong girl in front of her!
However, Ah Heng also knew that if he stopped the wedding, he would also hurt the last self-esteem of this beautiful girl......
Ah Heng suddenly couldn't tell which one was merciful and which one was cruel!
At this moment, the idea that had been firm and unwavering was shaken.
Nalan Xue looked at Ah Heng's silent appearance, her expression gradually became lonely, and she smiled reluctantly: "Ah Heng, Sister Jin, I'll go back to the room to rest first!"
Hu Lanjin glanced at Ah Heng dissatisfiedly, and was about to open his mouth to stop him.
Ah Heng nodded: "Okay, Xiaoxue, you rest early!" He turned sideways and stood beside Hu Lanjin, leaning so close.
Nalan Xue lowered her eyes, bowed lightly to the two, and left without saying a word.
Hulan Jin watched Nalan Xue's back disappear into another room, and sighed: "Ah Heng, do you really want to be a single husband? Do you know that this is too cruel to Xiaoxue!"
Ah Heng didn't answer, patted Daheng's head, left it outside the door, and walked straight into the room.
Hu Lanjin sighed, followed in, thought about it, and turned around and closed the door.
She knew that there must be something very important to talk about next, otherwise Ah Heng would not deliberately send Nalan Xue away, and this important matter had a lot to do with tomorrow's wedding, thinking of this, her heart suddenly suddenly, and she vaguely guessed Ah Heng's intention.
Hu Lanjin saw that Ah Heng seemed to be looking at the room, and said with a smile: "This is all Lord Mengton's intention, he not only lent us the Governor's Mansion that had just been completed, but also thoughtfully sent people to purchase all kinds of supplies, which saved a lot of trouble!"
Ah Heng snorted, but didn't say anything more.
Hu Lanjin took another set of clean tea cups, poured the tea himself, blew it lightly a few times, and brought it to Ah Heng: "It's cold and dewy, let's talk about drinking hot water if there is anything!"
Ah Heng didn't take it, and asked, "Why did Princess Ye Shuang's ice wolf appear here?"
Seeing that Ah Heng didn't answer, Hulan Jin snorted angrily, stared at the warm tea in his hand and said: "I can feel that you have been avoiding me recently, it seems that except for your Royal Highness the princess, even I can't trust me, do you think I will do things in the tea?"
She sneered and raised her glass to take a sip, her dissatisfaction overflowing.
Ah Heng's face was embarrassed, and the woman really didn't have any reason to say. However, Hu Lanjin did say what he was thinking. He knows very well that although the girl in front of him is a childhood sweetheart, but after ten years of separation, although she is as eccentric as a child, full of wisdom, but more than ordinary people can reach the city, in this world, very few people can guess the real purpose of her every move.
Whether it is in the imperial capital city or in the northwest, or in the iron-blooded means to control the secret spy institute, she is not the strongest one, but she can always be the final winner.
For Xiao Jin, Ah Heng can be described as deep love, deep shame, and deep fear.
If he wanted to say that the woman in front of him would harm him, Ah Heng would never believe it, but if the other party wanted to play a petty trick on him, it was very likely, and the resentment that was suppressed was obviously on the verge of exploding.
Ah Heng subconsciously said: "I'm not thirsty......"
Before the words fell, Xiao Jin's clear eyes were full of tears, and Ah Heng's heart trembled, knowing that if he didn't drink this cup of tea, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to say the next words.
Ah Heng had to take the cup and was about to drink it, but when he saw Xiao Jin stop his movements again, he sneered: "Fool, I've already drunk this cup, I'd better go and pour you a new cup!"
Ah Heng hurriedly shook his head: "No need, no need!" He raised his hand and drank it all, it was sweet in his mouth, it was indeed a good tea. It seems that he has the heart of a villain!
Xiao Jin took the empty cup with satisfaction, put it on the table and said, "Ah Heng, what about your question, it's actually not difficult to answer, you didn't expect it to be just because the authorities are confused."
Ye Shuang knew that it was not difficult for Chiba to make a move, and it was even more reasonable to come to the Governor's Mansion to deliver the news.
First of all, Ye Shuang is the head of the Imperial Inspectorate of the Bright Dynasty, and he controls the largest intelligence agency of the Human Empire. Although Chiba is a princess, she is not the canary of the deep palace, she walks the world and has great power, how can she not have the eyes and ears of the Metropolitan Procuratorate around her?
The people who spy on her may not be too close, but there are traces of such things as the use of force. Therefore, as long as Ye Shuang has a heart, he can always guess one or two.
Secondly, Ye Shuang didn't know that you in the Governor's Mansion were pretending to be me, and your princess was worried about her safety, so she would naturally come over to inform her as soon as possible.
However, if she came in person, the target was too obvious, and it would definitely alarm Chiba. If she were her precious son, the better-than-human icewolf, it would be fine.
You know, I'm pretty well guarded here, but it wasn't until the wolf was within three feet that anyone noticed its existence......"
Hu Lanjin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, indescribably jealous and jealous.
Ah Heng frowned and said, "So, when the ice wolf sent the news, it was even earlier than the orcs?"
Hu Lanjin nodded: "The orcs are just selling favors, and the real purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity." When I received the news, I also deduced that the biggest benefit of this matter for the orcs is not how much loss there is in the northern frontier, but whether they can get a person, and this person is the new governor of the northern frontier who is in the whirlpool of crisis - Monton!"
When Hu Lanjin said this, seeing Ah Heng's face suddenly darkened, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Ah Heng, is something wrong?"
Ah Heng said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Lord Mengton had committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine!"
Hu Lanjin was taken aback: "Didn't you give Meng Dun the poison to fake his death to get out, did he accept it?
Ah Heng said lonely: "This time I was wrong! Now it seems that I gave him the medicine of fake death to help him, but in fact humiliated him." Perhaps he had been determined to die a long time ago, he had never actually intended to accept the position of governor, and even without Chiba's persecution, he would not have allowed himself to wait too long-"
Hearing this, Hulan Jin was silent, and sighed for a long time, and then comforted: "Ah Heng, you don't have to blame yourself, although Mengton has made outstanding achievements in his life, the destruction of the wolf ride is a stain that he can't get rid of. We have always underestimated his pride and even less his loyalty to the northern frontier, such a person will never allow himself to live in the world, and do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, that's allββ!"
When she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and stared at Ah Heng again: "Since Mengton has committed suicide, but the wolf city is so quiet, it means that the news has not yet spread, who is in charge of the overall situation in the wolf city now, and who will take care of the aftermath in the general's mansion?"
Ah Heng said: "The aftermath, I have already agreed with Lord Mengton. Now that he is dead, his original strategy does not require much change. As for the General's Mansion, it is now the ...... who is in charge of the aftermath Ye Shuang, this is what she asked for-"
When Hu Lanjin heard this, she sneered: "Is it her?
Ah Heng nodded.
Hulan Jin said: "Ah Heng, don't you think it's weird? She obviously wants to separate you from the General's Mansion and replace you with me, the lover is right in front of you, why bother letting you come to the Governor's Mansion to take risks again?"
Ah Heng said: "Perhaps, she is just worried about you-"
Hu Lanjin sneered: "What a kind princess! Could it be that the current Emperor of Light, Ye Chong, is a fool who puts a simple and kind woman in the darkest position of the empire, and also allows her to spy on the darkest hearts of the people in this country? Ah Heng, believe me, no matter what she used to be, she can never be a good kind now. β
Ah Heng listened to Hulan Jin's eloquent conversation, and suddenly showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Hu Lanjin's face turned red, she understood what the other party was thinking, and kicked Ah Heng angrily: "You're right, I'm not a good person, I'm satisfied, hum!"
Ah Heng's heart warmed, as if he had seen the quiet mountain tribe ten years ago, the beautiful girl who occasionally played a small temper, and couldn't help but smile.
