As soon as my footsteps faltered, I saw Liu Qinghan changing into a light robe and walking out of the room.

The moon shines like water.

His emaciated face looked much warmer under the moonlight, and even those unfathomable eyes became clear, and when he looked at the sky in black and white, it seemed that there was moonlight flowing slowly in his eyes.

What is he doing when he goes out so late? Do you appreciate the moonlight?

I was still thinking about it, but I saw him walk away with a very light step without looking back.

My heart hung in the air.

Here, it is Longnan City.

What is he going to do when he goes out so late? And looking at his actions just now, it doesn't seem to be "above board". Could it be that he had some other purpose?

I came here with him, saying that it sounds good is a guest, and if it is unpleasant, it is to go deep into the tiger's den, but going deep into the tiger's den ultimately refers to me, not to mention that there is a "rebel" Pei Yuanxiu waiting outside the city, no matter what kind of past I have with Liu Qinghan, it has been forgotten by him, from his cold-eyed attitude during the day, I understand that he treats me as an outsider after all, and now, he and Tu Shuhan are both officials of the imperial court, once-

Thinking of this, I immediately followed.

The moonlight is clear, has been faintly shining on the person in front of him, I followed him all the way from afar, he really did not come out to do something "openly", on the way to meet a maid passing by, he tried to hide in a dark place to avoid encountering people. As soon as I saw him do this, I realized that something was wrong, and I watched him go faster and faster, and follow his footsteps more and more tightly.

As I walked through a long corridor in front of me, I had just ascended the stairs when I saw him stop and stand in the middle of the corridor.

I hurriedly retracted my steps and cautiously poked my head out.

In the empty, dark corridor, only a few windows were open, and the moonlight was shining in from outside, and he stood in front of one of them, looking outward, his eyes distant but focused.

What is he looking at?

Just as I was holding my breath to peep at this moment, he suddenly looked at me, and I was startled and hurriedly shrank back.

The corridor was so quiet that even my heartbeat was so palpable, and a gust of wind blew, bringing with it the smell of sand and a deeper silence, but not a trace of his life.

Did he see me?

What should I say if he sees me following him?

Just as I was thinking about it with anxiety, his footsteps sounded again in the corridor, but they slowly faded away.

He was gone again.

I poked my head out cautiously, only to see the corner of his light robe fluttering slightly, disappearing at the end of the deep and dark corridor.

I hurriedly followed again.

The wooden floor creaked slightly as soon as I walked up, and although I tried my best to slow down, the sound seemed to get louder and louder in such silence, and I walked in horror, but stopped when I came to a window.

It was the window that Liu Qinghan stopped to look out just now.

And I realized that it was the same window I had seen during the day when I was taken to bathe.

At this time, the sky was already very dark, almost out of sight, the already gray half of the city was even quieter, not even a little light and a trace of sound, the moonlight shining on those cold and quiet houses, giving people more like a picture of clay sculpture, although lifelike, but silent.

What was he looking at just now?

With such a dark night scene, what is there worth seeing for him?

He came out so late and his whereabouts were secretive, what the hell was he doing?

Is there really something hidden?

One by one, these doubts came to my mind, and I felt more and more that something was wrong, and I turned my head to look at the dark depths that had swallowed his back, and hurriedly followed.

Just as I had just reached the end of the corridor and was about to turn the corner to follow, suddenly a hand reached out in the darkness and grabbed me violently!

I almost screamed at the sudden attack, but the other hand covered my mouth faster, and I was pulled in a circle, my back slamming against the cold, hard wall.

At that moment, I just felt like I had gold stars in my eyes.

And in the darkness, a hot and sturdy body pressed my body hard, pressing me against the wall and unable to move, and the heavy breath also sounded in my ears: "Why are you following me?!" ”

I settled down, and finally saw the person in front of me clearly, and he finally saw me clearly through the moonlight, and both of them froze.

"Is that you?"

"You?"

Liu Qinghan obviously didn't expect to "meet" me, and his face was full of surprise and consternation: "You-how-"

His heart was beating violently, hitting my chest, bang, bang, as if it was going to break through my body, and he seemed to feel it close to my body, in the dim light, his dark cheeks turned red all at once, and the panicked expression that could not be concealed covered his dark face, he blushed all at once, and hurriedly stood up and left my body.

The chill of the night in the border city hit me suddenly, and I couldn't help but shiver.

The breathing of the two people was particularly clear in such a quiet night.

He was silent for a long time, and finally calmed down his heartbeat and disordered breathing, and a cold light seeped in his eyes: "What are you doing with me?" ”

I finally breathed a sigh of relief in the palm of his hand, only to feel my heart beating hard: "What about you?" ”

"What?"

"What are you doing when you come out so late?"

His brow tightened: "You're following me? ”

"......" He only left my body, but he forgot to let go of the hand that was covering my mouth, and my lips were still rubbing against his rough palm, and my breath was messy.

"Why are you stalking me?"

I took a deep breath and slowly raised my hand, he saw the small medicine bottle in my hand at a glance, took it suspiciously, opened the cork and smelled it, and was stunned.

I leaned my back against the cold, hard wall and looked at him indifferently.

……

This time, it was still quiet, but it was quiet without words.

His breath was messy, but he was also embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Madam, I—"

"Lord Liu," I interrupted, "with all due respect. My lord and I are now in the same boat, and I came to this Longnan City with my lord, and it was me who took the risk, not my lord. If anything, I think that out of mutual sincerity, you should at least ward me first. Isn't it? ”

I don't know if it's because the wine rash is stricter or what, after listening to my words, his face turned a little redder, and he pinched the small bottle in a sneering manner, and said, "Madame's words are reasonable, but they are negligent." ”

"Then adults can sue me, why the hell did you come out so late alone?"

“……”

He didn't speak, but the furrow between his eyebrows deepened noticeably.

"Lord Liu, is there anything else that is difficult to say? Or is there really something that is not going to work against me? ”

He glanced up at me, his eyes were very complicated, and after thinking for a long time, he finally lowered his voice and said, "This is not the place to talk, madam, let's go back first." ”

After saying this, he almost subconsciously reached over to grab my wrist, but before he could touch me, a cold voice came from the side-

"It's so late, what else do you two have to say?"

The sudden sound startled both of us, and I almost bounced off the wall, and when I turned my head to look, in the dim light in the middle, Tu Shuhan's deep silhouette slowly emerged in the moonlight.

As soon as Liu Qinghan and I saw him, our hearts immediately lifted.

"General."

“……”

Tu Shuhan didn't speak this time, but walked slowly in front of us with his hands behind his back, looked us up and down for a long time, and then said slowly: "Didn't you have a good time at the wine banquet before?" It's so late at night, and you still have to secretly come out for a private meeting? ”

Liu Qinghan and I glanced at each other, in fact, they were all old fritters in officialdom and vanity fair, but they were all dumb, and his face was even more red because of the wine rash.

"Lord Liu," Tu Shuhan turned to him again: "During the day, Lord Liu still looked affectionate when he talked about the eldest princess, why did he blink an eye-" His eyes looked at me, and he was a little more frivolous: "If this word is transmitted back to the capital, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will be unhappy, right?" ”

Liu Qinghan coughed and said, "General, you misunderstood. ”

"There are many kinds of misunderstandings, but what kind of misunderstanding is what you have seen with your own eyes?"

“……”

"Is it possible-" As soon as his words stopped, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "The two of you came out in the middle of the night, what do you want to explore in my Longnan City?" ”

Originally, I just thought it was a joke, but Liu Qinghan's eyes flashed suddenly.

……！

I realized something immediately.

He came out so late, not to find Tu Shuhan, and it had nothing to do with the things discussed during the day, so what did he want to do?

Could it be that as Tu Shuhan said, what are you going to explore in Longnan City?

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at him, but saw that he was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "General." ”

"Huh?"

He slowly raised his head and looked at Tu Shuhan with bright eyes: "The general should know that there is no need to dig into the root of many things, and it is good to get it clear." Sometimes, figuring it out isn't necessarily a good thing. ”

"Oh?"

"Besides—" The corners of his mouth slowly provoked a touch of arc: "The relationship between the DPRK and China is already complicated, and sometimes one is prosperous and the other is lost. ”

“……”

"What am I doing outside, it is naturally an outside matter, if any news reaches the capital and let His Majesty the Emperor know, the matter between me and the eldest princess will certainly not be successful, but can this bring any benefits to the general?"

When I heard his words, my heart sank.

What does he mean?!
