Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 977
The night wind whizzed by.

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji were relatively silent.

"You are here."

"Ah."

Still cherish words like gold as always.

Ying Baoyue went out during the time when the patrolmen and watchmen left. The street was empty at this time except Li Ji.

He wanted to hide his aura so that the soldiers and watchmen couldn't detect it, and they didn't know how long he had been standing here.

Maybe it didn't go at all in the first place.

Glancing at his empty side, Ying Baoyue asked, "Where's Zhao Guang?"

"I told him to go back first," Li Ji said, "he will go to court tomorrow to listen to the government."

As a prince, Zhao Guang only stood aside as a decoration, and I don't know how he restrained his curiosity and didn't follow.

"I told him that if he wanted to stay, he might have the name of a rebel tomorrow, so he left."

He must have escaped, right?

Ying Baoyue looked at the man who casually said the word rebellion, and knew that he had guessed her purpose tonight.

"Then what are you doing here?"

You don't want to visit the palace at night with her, do you?

"Before the words," Ying Baoyue smiled, "Don't stop me."

She really didn't want to fight Li Ji if she could.

That would be a death sentence.

"Yes," Li Ji nodded.

Nodding?So what the hell is he here for?

Ying Baoyue smiled and said, "Then what are you doing here? Don't you want to go with me?"

She was just joking to adjust the atmosphere, she never thought that Li Ji would hear the words...

Nod again.

The street was quiet for a moment, and Ying Baoyue hadn't felt so speechless for a long time.

"Do you know what you're doing?" She looked at the person standing quietly on the street, "If I'm not mistaken, a large part of the security work of Jianzhang Palace will be handed over to you, right?"

Defending the king is the primary job of the national teacher. Dongfang Yi is already old, and this matter must be passed on to Li Ji in the future.

"Well," Li Ji said, "so if I'm here, it will be easier to infiltrate."

Looking at the man in front of him who hadn't taken off his sacrificial attire, Ying Baoyue said in his heart, does this count as self-stealing?

Of course it is easy to infiltrate with him, even if he has not taken over and fully grasped the defense network in the palace, he will know much more than normal people.

"You know...does this count as treason?" Ying Baoyue's expression was a bit complicated.

"It's better to go with you instead of waiting for you not knowing what you will do," Li Ji said lightly, "I judge that this is better for Jianzhang Palace."

"Really?" Ying Baoyue smiled and said, "You have a better way to stop this."

That is here and now, killing her.

"Are you thinking that the wisest thing for me to do is to kill you?" Li Ji asked, looking into her eyes.

Ying Baoyue nodded, it seems that everyone has been in court.

Involving the life and death of the king, he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Practitioners who kill for the king are loyal and not criminal.

Of course, as Ying Baoyue who has gone through it once, I feel that this tacit tradition is very nonsense.

"You haven't threatened His Majesty's safety yet, so why do you want to disregard human life," Li Ji said quietly, "If you really want to do this, it will not be too late for me to be loyal."

Ying Baoyue fixedly looked at him.

It would be great if there were more practitioners like this in her previous life.

"I'm not interested in your Majesty's life, I just want to borrow something from him," she said with a smile, "If you want to go with me, go together."

He and Zhao Guangguang visited Efang Palace once and she didn't report it, and he accompanied her to visit Jianzhang Palace once and she got back her money.

Tonight's trip to the palace is destined to be a two-person trip.

Li Ji nodded, but the next moment he raised his head and looked behind Ying Baoyue, his eyes narrowed slightly.

……

……

In the Shi'an Courtyard, just after Ying Baoyue stepped out of the threshold, Ji Qingyuan turned around and was about to go back to the room, but found someone standing quietly behind him.

"Who!?"

Tonight was so startled that Ji Qingyuan almost exclaimed.

But seeing this person's face clearly, he swallowed back his cry.

The moonlight shone on the handsome face of the young man behind him.

A complicated look appeared in Ji Qingyuan's eyes, "When did you come?"

Standing silently behind him was his younger brother Ji Jiashu.

Thinking of the conversation he had with Ying Baoyue just now, Ji Qingyuan's heart was in a mess, wondering if Ji Jiashu had heard anything he shouldn't have heard.

Sure enough, his realm was too low, and this person didn't even notice it standing behind him.

"Not long," Ji Jiashu said after taking a deep breath, "I stayed in the room until she went out."

After she left, he came out.

"Don't worry, big brother, I didn't stand behind you all the time," Ji Jiashu raised his head and smiled wryly, "She would have noticed otherwise."

Sure enough, it wasn't because he was worried about being noticed by him... Ji Qingyuan also wanted to smile wryly.

"She set up a barrier to what you said, but I didn't hear a few words." Ji Jiashu said lightly.

But he knew she was out.

I'm afraid I still want to go to the Soochow Palace that I mentioned to Zhao Guang before.

Ji Qingyuan looked at his calm younger brother with a complicated expression, "Then you..."

Since you know everything, why don't you stop her?
Seeing the question in Ji Qingyuan's eyes, Ji Jiashu lowered his head slightly.

Because he is not qualified to stop.

"Brother," Ji Jiashu looked up quietly, "What is she going to get from the Soochow Palace?"

Ji Qingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Avoid water drops."

Ji Jiashu was silent for a moment, "Although it's shameless to say that, is she doing it for me?"

Ji Qingyuan's eyes widened, and then he sighed, "You know."

As expected of Mr. Chunhua, he guessed the ins and outs with just a few words.

"She suddenly asked me today if I know water," Ji Jiashu smiled wryly, "I didn't care at first."

But she didn't expect her to take it to heart.

Everything made sense when connected, but he didn't know how she was sure that he might encounter an accident in the water battle.

Everything that happened tonight was too weird, and there seemed to be a terrifying conspiracy brewing behind it.

"Since you know everything, why didn't you come out just now?" Ji Qingyuan looked at him quietly, "Aren't you going after him?"

"She wanted me not to know, so I pretended not to know," Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, "This is one of the few things I can do for her."

She didn't want him to feel guilty, so he would cooperate.

Not everything is good for others by ignoring the wishes of others under the banner of being good for others.

"Many people have great goals. She has made up her mind. I'm afraid she doesn't want to be accompanied by others. Then I..." Ji Jiashu was talking when he suddenly felt a familiar aura rising from the street in the distance.

The breath of a Soochow cultivator he was familiar with.

"Jiashu?" Ji Qingyuan looked at Ji Jiashu who fell silent in front of him.

"Brother, I'm going out for a while."

The veins on Ji Jiashu's forehead twitched, and the next moment his figure suddenly disappeared in front of Ji Qingyuan.

Ji Qingyuan stared at the dust rising from the ground, dumbfounded.

Why don't you go?

　Ji Jiashu: It's you, Li Ji, who don't put Wude first!
