Chapter 417: Willingly
Pushing back the time a few days a little, on the day when the fire broke out in Wangjian Tower, Yongle and Shang Luo left the Sword Casting Villa first, and Qi Li, who had been secretly paying attention to this side, didn't know what kind of idea they had in mind, and they also followed.
The carriage was driving on the slightly dark green avenue, and Yongle was climbing by the window, talking and laughing with Shang Luo, who was riding a white horse on the side.
Since owning this white horse, Shang Luo no longer rides in the carriage, and the galloping horse seems to have more of a feeling of being in the rivers and lakes, which makes the little girl a little unstoppable.
The guards around were all experienced brocade guards, and the group walked, except for the silent footsteps, only the laughter of the two girls echoed on the road.
The last man on horseback frowned slightly, slowed down slightly, and glanced at the man next to him, who shook his head slightly.
The brocade guard was quite puzzled and said: "This person has been following us for most of the day, what is it for?" ”
The other shook his head and said, "Don't care, your lord has told us not to hurt his life, we just don't see him." ”
The escorts to the princess are all carefully selected elite brocade guards, and Qi Li's little Taoism has exposed himself from the beginning.
But the Jinyi guards didn't take him down, and he was the only one in the Sword Casting Villa who Lu Hanjiang had specifically explained that he could not be harmed.
A few sharp-eyed people had already recognized Qi Li's identity, thinking of his identity as a child of the Qi family, and everyone didn't dare to say more, and they all silently carried out Lu Hanjiang's order.
Finally, after half a day's time, a fast horse caught up with the convoy from behind, and everyone looked back at the horse, it was Lord Lu who had arrived, and they immediately stopped and greeted them respectfully.
Lu Hanjiang naturally noticed Qi Li's existence, he glanced at the sky, calculated the time, and then stopped the convoy and let everyone rest in place.
Shang Luo felt strange, so he rode back and asked, "Xiao Lu, why did you stop here?" ”
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said, "Your 'friend' has come to the door." ”
With that, he suddenly slapped the white horse's buttocks, and the frightened white horse immediately ran away with a neigh, and galloped away quickly in the direction behind everyone with Shang Luo, who was constantly screaming.
Thanks to Shang Luo's lack of stealing and slippery when she was learning to ride a horse, after running a distance, Shang Luo finally calmed the frightened white horse, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn back to Lu Hanjiang to settle accounts, but she saw an unexpected person here.
Huashan outer disciple, Qi Li.
"...... you" When she saw Qi Li, Shang Luo's expression changed significantly, she subconsciously put her hand on the sword at her waist, but soon realized something, and hurriedly let go.
"Miss Shang."
Qi Li looked at her, and his tone was a little dull: "Long time no see." ”
“...... Well, Qi Shaoxia, it's been a long time. ”
Shang Luo dismounted to meet him, and seemed to feel that this was meaningless, she was about to leave with the horse rope, with an extremely strange sense of alienation on her face, which was completely different from the usual liveliness.
"Wait, Miss Shang, have you really taken refuge in Jinyiwei?"
Qi Li couldn't help but stop her, after being stimulated by Ah Lan that day, he kept trying to inquire about Shang Luo these days, but he had almost no gains.
But as the daughter of Li Guishou, and at the same time a figure who was taken care of by Jinyiwei, she appeared on the rivers and lakes so easily, but did not attract any attention from the imperial court, obviously she did not escape by herself, so there seems to be only one possibility left.
Although Qi Li's words subjectively did not mean reproach, his tone seemed to condemn such a practice of "collusion".
That kind of accusation from the moral high ground made Shang Luo's already unstable state of mind change slightly, her expression became more and more indifferent, and her tone was a little rushed: "This has nothing to do with you, Qi Shaoxia, goodbye!" ”
"Miss Shangluo! I, I didn't mean that......"
Qi Li's expression was a little complicated, not only some indignation at Shang Luo's deviation from the righteous path, but also heartache at her behavior of defecting to Jinyiwei, and more deeply, from the tragic experience of his Qi family...... Angry.
Shang Luo didn't want to stop and say something to him at all, he walked quickly and decisively, Qi Li's mind was in chaos, and he said without thinking: "Miss Shang Luo, have you forgotten that it was Jinyiwei who forced Ghost Li to death......
As soon as these words came out, Shang Luo slowly stopped immediately, and cast a pair of eyes from the side, cold and cold, with a faint sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, the lively and lovely silhouette gradually began to melt, becoming ambiguous, and at a certain moment, she seemed to have become another person.
"The people who forced my father to death are the Huangfu family, and you." Here's what she said.
Qi Li was speechless for a while, and his voice was much lower: "Ghost Li is the master of the Demon Dao Ten Thousand Swords Gate, in the first battle of the year, many righteous knights died under his sword, and we are the people of the righteous path, and the demon defense path is ...... Duty. ”
Shang Luo smiled silently, and said in a sarcastic tone: "In this case, I, the daughter of the big devil, is also a little demon girl even if I round it off, why do you bother to persuade me here." ”
“...... You're still young, and I just don't want you to go astray. ”
Qi Li said something that he didn't know how credible he had, he took a deep breath, looked at Shang Luo and said seriously: "Jinyiwei is good at demagoguery, I'm only worried that you will be used by them." ”
"What do you think they want to use me?" Shang Luo stared at Qi Li and asked.
Qi Li's tone sank a little more, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know, but you are the daughter of Li Ghost Hand, since he has the face to let Jinyi Wei help him, there must be a lot of involvement behind him......
"That's what you're talking about."
Shang Luo stood upright, with a smile on his lips: "My father can use the Jinyi Guard, presumably the person behind him must be very powerful, in other words, the use value of my person is still quite large." ”
Qi Li was stunned, his mood was suddenly chaotic, Shang Luo's appearance was a little unfamiliar, his expression and demeanor, and even the tone of his speech seemed to be a completely different person, and the lively girl he had seen in Jiangnan were completely two extremes.
If you have to say it, it seems to be somewhat similar to Huangfu Xiaoyuan, but compared to the cold third lady, Shang Luo in front of her still kept smiling, but behind that smile, there was an endless chill.
Qi Li was slightly at a loss, but he still tried to follow the other party's words and persuaded him: "That's right, Miss Shangluo, you have to be careful, Jinyiwei is ...... because he likes you."
"Wouldn't that be nice?" Shang Luo lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze became a little obscure.
"What?" Qi Li was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear what the other party was saying.
"I said, isn't it good, since I have such a great use value, isn't it in line with everyone's idea to stay here and be willful."
Shang Luo's originally indifferent expression instantly became full of happiness, the corners of his eyes drooped, revealing a sweet and humble smile: "That's fine, I'll be a fool who doesn't know anything, just keep staying here......"
muttering to himself, or a little hope, behind the big tree not far away, Lu Hanjiang and Yongle watched all this quietly.
