Looking at the strange look in the middle of the night, I walked up to her and asked, "Why is this expression, I am very puzzled." Besides, didn't you say it would take a day and a half to get here, why did you arrive now?"

"First of all, the first question, I don't have anything to say, the expression is just personal, and it will not directly affect your next thing or development; Here, trusting others too much will only make your situation worse. ”

"Why lie to me?"

"If you tell the truth, you will definitely do some more time-wasting things on the road because of the fast process, which seems to be your usual style. I don't like to waste time, especially with you. After completing your task, I can move on to my other important tasks. ”

Listening to Midnight's words, I didn't lose any temper, she was right, there was no need to waste any time on me. I don't have any value to waste time when the entire Guan Yunyu suffers, and the midnight time should be to deal with important events.

"Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else. She was afraid that I would think something again, and added, "I'm not giving you the stairs, I just don't want to make any more trouble for myself." ”

After more than a day of contact with Midnight, I can already accept Midnight's tone.

I remembered that the domain leader would never say that about me before, he would gently solve the siege for me, and he would spend more time with me than anyone else. But for a moment, I thought of the Realm Lord, my father I had never met. It was he who abandoned me at the beginning, or because of some things that had to place me in Guan Yunyu, but after all, from the moment I knew him, I had all kinds of resistance in my heart. I can't imagine what to say and do next with this man who changed my whole life, I don't know what to say, what to do. Reality came so fast that I wasn't ready to accept too many changes in a single day. But what is about to develop has to be developed.

"Are we going to see the Realm Lord right away?"

"No," Midnight paused, "We're not fit to meet the Realm Lord right now. ”

She was right, I looked down at myself and thought to myself. The folds of my clothes should be folded, they should be dirty, they should not be what they should be. With such an embarrassed appearance, how can I meet the high-ranking realm lord, not to mention that I have never seen him before, such a meeting is really embarrassing.

Midnight looked into the distance, looked in one direction, and said, "Go to my house." ”

Later, Midnight instructed the soldiers around him, and they prepared a carriage to transport the two of us to Midnight's house. Midnight in the car didn't speak, just meditated quietly, but I don't know what I was thinking. When she arrived at a place, as if she knew everything, she suddenly opened her eyes and stopped the carriage.

I got out of the car in the middle of the night, and I followed. Midnight sent the coachman away, and walked straight forward. I followed Midnight, afraid that I would be separated from her. There were people everywhere, some entering the shops, some setting off, and some gathering in front of the vendors. The traffic is busy, a prosperous scene. And the more this happened, the stronger the fear in my heart became.

After a period of walking, we finally arrived at our home in the middle of the night. Her home was not as weird as I thought, I thought that a cold-blooded person like her should live in a place far away from the crowd and impersonal, but I didn't expect her to live in a small ordinary house.

The house is not big, at first glance it is no different from ordinary people, but the decoration is more luxurious, there are precious flowers planted in front of the door, and some wind chimes fluttering in the wind are hung on the eaves, like the boudoir of a noble lady. But the house as a whole gives people a solemn and stern quality. Such a style that does not cater to women and is not suitable for men is just right for people like Midnight.

As I walked in the middle of the night, I retracted my foot and said, "There seems to be something unreasonable about living in your house, but after all you are a woman and I am a man." ”

Midnight's head tilted to his right shoulder, and he said, "Okay, when the time comes, you will go to see the Realm Lord like this, so it seems to be in line with what you said." ”

I was speechless, so I followed. At the moment when Midnight just walked in, a maid-like person walked up, she took off her robe for Midnight, and said, "The general has been in the dust all the way, but it is hard? Mingxue prepared hot water, and I hope the general will clean it." ”

Midnight took off his black robe, as if he had just remembered me, pointed at me, and said, "Prepare some clothes and change them for that person." Also, give me everything to get ready to meet the Commander, and I'll have to change my clothes. ”

The maid agreed, and called the other low-ranking servants, and asked him to lead me to another room. As they were about to take off my clothes, I waved my hand to indicate that I was coming on my own, and they all withdrew. I looked at the clothes they brought, they were much more elaborate than the ones I wore, and the domain leader didn't usually wear such clothes. When I got dressed and went out, I asked one of the maids next to me, and I asked, "What is the origin of your general, so generous?" She didn't answer, just stood there.

I said to myself, "The master and the servant are all the same." ”

I saw a basin of water in the doorway, so I leaned my face over to see what I was like. The reflection in the water showed that my face had faded from childishness, and the sides of my face were clearly angular. My eyes are more mature than ever, and I have the feeling that I can kill people with my eyes. What's more, the black mark that I hated for 16 years had completely disappeared, as if it had never been there. Now, I'm finally the normal person I want to be.

At this time, Midnight also changed his clothes, but it was no longer black. It's white, all white, except for the black cloth band on the left wrist. Originally, when she was dressed in black in the middle of the night, it already reflected the whiteness of her skin, and now looking at her is even more intriguing. He came to me in the middle of the night and said, "This is just this men's dress, which was left over from the time when someone else lived in the past, so you can just take a break." ”

I didn't complain, after all, it was home in the middle of the night, and I had no reason to complain as a guest, and the dress was already fine for me.

"You're saying that men have lived in your house before, right?" I remembered Midnight's words.

"You can think whatever you like. Midnight is still so cold, "When you get to the Commander, you want to talk less, understand?"

Midnight is already like this, and I don't know what kind of scene there will be when I see the commander who raised her. The man who is in the limelight, it's better to have less contact.

I went out at midnight and headed towards the most central and prosperous area. On the way, some people dressed in a little brocade saluted to midnight, these people looked like civilians, and their salutes were also heartfelt. Midnight nodded in response.

There were a lot of people gathered on the road, not knowing what they were doing. When I got closer, it was nothing more than some small traders and peddlers, so I asked Midnight, "Midnight, why is there such harmony here? Isn't there no war or robbers here?"

"It's just as chaotic as other places, but it's more military-oriented, so nothing bad is going to happen here. The laws here are strict, but they are very open to ordinary people. So it's harmonious. Unlike the surrounding places, it is not managed in a disciplined manner. ”

Midnight seemed to be uneasy, and asked me again not to talk more. I looked around me, and before I knew it, I was at the Ruler's house. It was a courtyard several times larger than Midnight's house, and looking at the decoration, you knew that it was not an ordinary person living there. Midnight looked back at me and opened her mouth, I knew what she was going to say, so I nodded and said, "Definitely, definitely not talking." ”

Midnight knocked on the door, and then waited quietly.

The people inside heard a knock at the door and hurried to open it. As the "clicking" footsteps inside the door became faster and faster, Midnight became more and more uneasy, and it was more obvious than me. At this moment, the door opened, and the head of an old manservant poked out from inside, and when he saw that it was midnight, his expression became very relaxed, and said, "You are here, the commander is waiting." ”

Midnight naturally went in, which made me look clumsy and trembling.

I followed midnight into this courtyard, and it was even more courageous, and if I wasn't careful, I would be shocked. But I followed behind Midnight, I didn't dare to stay, Midnight also walked step by step, she walked very slowly, as if she didn't dare to go down, and waited for us to walk for a while before entering the inner room.

Walking to the hall, as soon as he turned around, he saw a very old man, but he did not have the kind of weakness that an old man should have, but made people feel that he was powerful. I think he's the ruler of Midnight's mouth. He was looking at some copywriting, and when he saw midnight coming in, he put down what he was doing. He asked someone to bring a chair for Midnight, and asked someone to pour a glass of water for Midnight, saying, "If you go on the night road, the road must be frozen." ”

He saw me again and said, "Is that him?" and he pointed his finger at me.

Midnight looked back at me and nodded. She went back and picked up the glass of water, put it to her lips, but didn't drink it. At this time, the commander seemed to remember something and asked, "Didn't Luo'er come with you?"

Midnight began to feel uneasy, put down the cup in her hand, and said, "No, because of him" She picked up the cup again, put it to her mouth, pretended to drink water, and did not say any more.

As if he knew something, the commander looked at the white clothes in midnight and said, "You have always liked to wear black, since we first found out that you are, and that's it. Back then, Luo'er was only one year older than you, but she was not as mature as you, but you, the younger sister, had been taking care of him. Watching you grow together to the present, day by day. You have become a general beyond everyone's expectations, and although you have made an indelible mistake, you have done what he should have done, and you must have washed away some sins in the underworld. ”

She suddenly cried in the middle of the night, she was not like others, she just shed tears, and no tears followed.

"Mu Luo Muluo I'm sorry, when I went, he was fighting with the people of the Que Demon Clan, he was no longer good at that time, and when I came back to my senses, he was already "Midnight's voice trembled a little, and the cup in his hand began to tremble.

The Commander closed his eyes and said, "Don't talk about it, I understand." He sighed and exhaled deeply.

He added, "It's all my fault." You're tired too, you take him to rest, and when it's later, you take him to see the domain leader. He pointed at me.

Midnight whispered, "Then let's go first." "She took me out the door. I looked at the sun high in the sky, it should be almost noon, but I didn't feel hungry. Maybe it's because the news of Mu Luo's death made the commander's heart pause, and seeing the commander so uncomfortable, my heart is not comfortable. After all, Mu Luo and I have lived together for a few years, even if he approaches me with a purpose, I still treat him as a friend. Now that he is dead, how can I recover in one night, and his father's pain must be greater than mine.

Maybe Midnight felt the same way, she didn't say anything to me, just watched the door close and left silently. I continued to follow her, looking at her. Midnight looked up at the sky, then at me, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Her words spoke to my heart, and I nodded and shook my head again. Midnight made a very incomprehensible expression, it seemed that she didn't understand why I nodded and shook my head again. I said, "I should be hungry at this time, but even if there is food in this atmosphere, I can't eat." So I'm not hungry. ”

"Then let's go eat a little, we have to go to see the Realm Lord in the afternoon. I'm going to clean up, I can't go to the task in my current white clothes. Why don't you go to my house, and I'll have someone cook some of your food. ”

I went back to the house in the middle of the night, and when Guan Yunyu's food was on the table, I picked up my chopsticks to pick up the dishes. These dishes are sandwiched in the mouth, and the taste is not at all the same as before, it is not Guan Yunyu, how can there be a taste there. It turns out that the old feeling will not come back.

It could be seen that Midnight was also not in a good mood, so I cautiously asked, "You don't eat?"

Midnight moved the chair next to me and sat down. She picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to pick up the dishes, but put them down again. She got up and went to the back room. I was there eating alone, waiting for midnight. I think that in the end, Midnight is still a human being, she will still feel distressed, and she still feels the heartache of Mu Luo's death and the leader. But I just don't understand, even if Midnight regrets it, he doesn't have to express such deep guilt for Mu Luo's death.

After eating, he wore another black dress at midnight, but the placket and cuffs of the outer robe were reddish-brown, and the black clothes inside were embroidered with a reddish-brown minimalist flower, which looked very domineering at first glance, like the temperament of a general.

Immediately, I was taken by midnight to a place that looked solemn. It's a tall building, and there are a lot of soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there is no sense of discipline that I had when I first met Qi Xiuyu, but a terrifying majesty. Along the road inside, you can hear the shouts of the fighters, the sound of training, the sound of fighting, and the sound is very scary. The people inside are all working, shuttling back and forth one by one with the materials they should hold.

"What is this place?" I was startled by the atmosphere inside.

"This is where we work, and we call it the empty building. ”

"Why do you call it an empty building, it's not very empty. ”

Midnight glanced at this place and said, "Because this place is more terrifying than an empty pavilion." You can't make any noises that aren't work-related here, and you can't do anything non-work-related here. The sound of midnight was very low, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere.

"Then why did you say something that had nothing to do with work?" I finally found the loophole in the midnight talk and clung to it.

"That's because I'm the master here, and I can do whatever I want?" Midnight said with a daunting expression, "This is my realm, this is my jurisdiction. If you go further, it will be Jun Xiaoyou's place, and I'm sure you've heard of him, so I won't introduce you to him. We are in the center of this place, and we are only responsible for administering our place, a place that only the Lords and Realm Lords can enter. Of course, I have the privilege of being a Realm Lord, but that doesn't mean I can come and go as I please. ”

Listening to their management, I was completely caught in a terrible mess. And because of the strict management of this place, I changed my curiosity about this place to my current fear, but I knew that I would definitely stay here for a while, because it was my instinct, and my instinct has always been accurate.

I was in this uneasiness, confused. Waiting for what should come, forgetting what should be forgotten, this is where I am now.

But I seem to be getting close to this situation, like I'm in water, and I can't get out. I have been entangled with it ever since, and I have formed a knot on the line of fate.
