Yujing is a very large city.

As the imperial capital of Dayu, it has a wealth and prosperity, wide and majestic that no other state capital can match.

In the north of the city, there are royal relatives, in the south of the city there are inns and teahouses, in the west of the city there are restaurants, gambling houses and exquisite houses, and in the east there are large residential groups.

In this way, the cold north in the winter moon is lit up with a large fire, which is worth the sideways gaze of all passers-by.

Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, he didn't react for a while, he looked back in a daze, saw the smile and scrutiny in Su Huaijing's eyes, his throat instinctively tightened, and his eyes unconsciously dodged.

Lu Jiaxi was still out of the situation, looking out of the building with his mouth wide open, and only found his voice from the noise for a while: "That's ...... The direction of Xuanwu Avenue? ”

Mu Jingxu's expression condensed, and he nodded slightly.

That is indeed the direction of Xuanwu Avenue, and further north, it should be the Imperial Palace.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Su Huaijing.

He didn't know who set this fire, anyone could possibly, and the most likely person was now sitting at this wine table, looking down at Rong Tang.

But how could this be?

Even Mu Jingxu didn't know which house the Ministry of Rites had chosen for Sheng Chengli, how did Su Huaijing know in advance and set such a big fire without knowing from the inspector Jin Wuwei?

Thinking of this, a face suddenly crossed Mu Jingxu's mind, he was stunned, and looked at Su Huaijing with a complicated expression.

Su Huaijing finally had time to divide his thoughts, looked at Mu Jingxu, and nodded silently, as if he should guess with him.

Except for Lu Jiaxi, almost no one moved a few chopsticks on the table full of dishes, Fengyue stopped singing and dancing upstairs, and the guests in the gilded building looked into the distance.

Thick smoke swept into the sky, and the century-old rich and prosperous house was now destroyed by a fire.

The sound of Jin Wuwei's iron hooves stepping into the air sounded on the long street, and the crowd began to disperse.

Something happened in the capital, and before the curfew was raised, before the dinner was finished, soldiers in uniform and armor came in to urge people to go home.

The crowd waited for a while longer, until the firefighters quickly ran away from the long street, and then they left their seats and went out.

Ke Hongxue asked Xiao Er to bring the food box, and packed all the unfinished dishes for Lu Jiaxi and brought them back, which made Xiao Lu look inexplicable, and subconsciously touched his stomach, suspecting that he was actually a rice bucket in the eyes of his senior brother.

Ke Hongxue stood by the tethered horse stake outside the gilded building, and said goodbye with a smile: "The weather is dry and dry, it is better for the prince to return to the house as soon as possible, so as not to have other complications." ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Huaijing meaningfully, then turned around and coaxed Mu Jingxu into his carriage.

Almost as soon as they left, the long street was quiet, the guests were scattered, the shops were closed, and even the Fengyue Building, which was the most prosperous at night, was half closed.

They may not know which house is on fire, but in that direction, such a big fire, no matter who it is, a slight stomp of the foot can make the powerless ordinary people lose their skin.

Rong Tang sat in the carriage, the carriage was burning with charcoal, the season came to the winter moon, Yu Jing was cold, Su Huaijing poured him a cup of tea, and said casually: "Tang Tang has nothing to ask me?" ”

Rong Tang paused slightly, looked at the swaying reflection in the teacup, and shook

Shaking his head: "No." ”

Su Huaijing burst out with a chuckle and poured him a cup of hot tea: "Is there really nothing?" ”

His tone is clear and gentle, without the coldness and mockery that he will have when he treats others, but Rong Tang just feels that Su Huaijing's mood is not too high.

He even seemed to be a little angry.

Rong Tang was inexplicably weak-hearted.

He really didn't want to ask, but it didn't seem like he could do it again.

Rong Tang took a sip of tea, and in the bumpy carriage, Su Huaijing also intimately put another cushion on him, Rong Tang put down the teacup and hugged the hand stove, as if he was looking for a sense of security for himself.

He slowed down and asked hesitantly, "How do you know that it is the Xianguo Mansion that is burned?" ”

Su Huaijing saw his panicked but pretending to be calm, sighed helplessly, and took the initiative to make up for his question: "Tang Tang wants to ask, did I set the fire?" ”

Rong Tang: "...... "What else do I need to ask?"

The system snorted twice: [He really coincides with your thoughts.] 】

As early as the days when he first returned to Beijing, Rong Tang thought about how to change this plot line, so that the Xianguo Mansion would not be given to Sheng Chengli by Emperor Renshou.

But no way is safe, Tiandao's favor for the male protagonist, Rong Tang has been a beneficiary for two lifetimes, he knows better than anyone that it should be Sheng Chengli's chance, no matter what, it will end up in his hands.

- The only exception is Su Huaijing.

If it is the opportunity that is snatched away by the villain, then they, the male protagonist's staff, can only think of remedying rather than regaining it.

Sometimes Rong Tang looks at Su Huaijing with modern thinking, and he will feel that he is a bug, an NPC with independent consciousness that is out of program control in the game.

In this way, the so-called male protagonist and tasker have become gamers, and they are played with by NPCs who are supposed to follow the plot line.

But they are not this kind of relationship, and Rong Tang does not know what kind of existence Su Huaijing is in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao of this world.

He is clearly more suitable to be a male protagonist than the male protagonist, but he is a villain who is not tolerated by heaven.

And back to the matter of Emperor Renshou giving Sheng Chengli a house, Rong Tang is not Su Huaijing, and now he has not cultivated power and power in the court, and there is hardly any overt way to stop it.

The rest is secretly, like ...... Burn down the house.

He had discussed the feasibility of this matter with the system, but even if he didn't mention a mansion of this size, even if it was ignited, it would need to start everywhere at the same time to ensure that the fire would quickly rise up and not be extinguished by the nearby Jin Wuwei, and there was another fatal problem

restrained Rong Tang's hands and feet.

[Are you willing?] The system asked him.

Rong Tang was reluctant, he was reluctant to burn down the mansion of the Duke of Xianguo; He has no right to make decisions for Su Huaijing.

His own home is now occupied, and in the huge imperial city, only the house opposite the eldest princess's mansion still retains a little of his childhood memories.

Although desolate, at least as before.

What right does Rong Tang have to destroy it?

But he didn't dare to implement the idea, someone did it for him.

Rong Tang was silent for a long time, and took the initiative to look at Su Huaijing's eyes: "So you put it?" ”

Su Huaijing curled his lips and asked, "What does Tang Tang think?" ’

“…… You're so annoying. "Rong Tangshi

I couldn't hold back and whispered a complaint.

The temperature outside the car was extremely low, he shrunk himself in a soft blanket, the candlelight was faint, and the rabbit looked at Su Huaijing with a pair of bright eyes.

Su Huaijing paused slightly, smiled slightly, and generously admitted: "I burned it." ”

Rong Tang was silent, waiting for the second half of his sentence, but Su Huaijing tilted his head, picked his eyes and asked him: "Tang Tang didn't ask me how to do it?" ”

Rong Tang: "......" You're really annoying!

He choked up, and could only continue with Su Huaijing's question: "Jin Wuwei, Chen Fei." ”

This time, Su Huaijing was stunned, paused for a few seconds, lowered his head and smiled softly: "I said you were very smart." ”

It was clearly a compliment, but Rong Tang was not happy at all.

Su Huaijing pushed him: "Tang Tang, go over there." ”

Rong Tang glanced at him, but obediently wrapped his small blanket and let it go to the other end of the carriage, Su Huaijing also sat down, re-spread a blanket, and put it on the two of them, while he pressed Rong Tang's quilt with his feet.

The warm yellow candlelight shines, and it is very warm.

Su Huaijing explained slowly: "I saw him outside the eldest princess's mansion on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he owed Tang Tang a favor, I found him to use this to threaten, a house that has been abandoned for many years, even if you accidentally walk in the water, it is not worth making a fuss." He only needs to make sure that there are no Jin Wuwei patrolling around the Xianguo Mansion when I am ready to make a move, and he has nothing to lose, and he can repay the life-saving favor. ”

After Su Huaijing finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Rong Tang and asked, "Is that so?" ”

When he asked, Rong Tang just wanted to fish in troubled waters and nodded for a moment, with two layers of blankets on his legs, and his whole body was warm, but he didn't know what Su Huaijing meant for a while.

The space in the carriage is compact, and the two of them are very close, and the slightest expression can't escape the eyes of the other person, Rong Tang pursed his lower lip, but he didn't answer.

He instinctively sensed danger.

Su Huaijing obviously asked him with a smile, leaning close to him like a child to keep warm, but Rongtang only felt dangerous.

He shouldn't have been for a long time, but Su Huaijing was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Tang Tang, I'll give you three opportunities to ask questions." One has just been used up, and you still have two. ”

Rong Tang fell into a long period of silence and confusion, emotionally he knew that Su Huaijing would not do anything bad to him, but intellectually, according to his understanding of Su Huaijing, this was clearly a sign before the villain became angry.

The milder it is, the more dangerous it is.

This danger fell on others and scared Rong Tang to fall seriously ill, but when it fell on himself, Rong Tang felt inexplicable......

Dangerous, but not fatal.

Su Huaijing was within his control, alone, sulking, like a little catfish.

- Rong Tang inexplicably thinks so.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Su Huaijing: "Because that's my cousin's house." ”

Rong Tang: "? ”

For a moment, he suddenly wanted to say, "Then what else do you want me to ask?"

Su Huaijing smiled and added, "This is the answer that Brother Tang Tang wants." ”

Just like about why 'Chen Fei' would listen to his orders, Rong Tang himself made up his answer, like an omniscient spectator.

The long street became more and more silent, and half of the city's Jinwuwei went to put out the monstrous fire, but the initiator sat in a carriage that was moving smoothly, bathed in the sandalwood in the car, and looked at his little bodhisattva quietly.

Su Huaijing reminded: "You have one last question. ”

He seemed to be hinting at something, but just like the two answers that Su Huaijing had just answered, each question had other answers that were more logical and cognitive, not the only one, and Rong Tang was a little unsure whether he wanted to expose it himself.

He was silent for a few seconds and spoke slowly: "How do you know that the mansion will be given to Sheng Chengli?" ”

I don't know which word this sentence hit Su Huaijing, but I saw that his eyes were dark for a moment, his palms were supporting the seat, his body leaned forward, and his forehead almost touched, showing a rather strong suppressive posture.

Su Huaijing said in a low voice: "Tangtang, you asked the wrong question. ”

Rong Tang suddenly panicked in his heart, and instinctively stepped back a little.

Su Huaijing stared at him hatefully for a long time, but he couldn't hold back, lowered his head and bit him the side of his neck.

Rong Tang was in pain, and gently "hissed", and then the strength of the bite suddenly decreased, like grinding between the beds.

Rong Tang couldn't hide, so he could only tilt his head and let him bully, and there were small droplets of water in his eyes.

After Su Huaijing vented his displeasure and jealousy, he let go of his lips, raised his body to look at Rong Tang, and saw the moist droplets in his eyes, and his heart suddenly softened.

It was obvious that he forced Rong Tang to ask himself questions, but in the end, he asked in turn:

"Tangtang, who am I?"!
