I promise

Chapter 145

When Jin Yanchen came back, Mu Dianke was sitting at the door, drinking porridge with a plate of shallots and shredded chicken. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jin Yanchen entering the door with a dark face, so he didn't go to greet him.

Jin Yanchen pulled a chair and sat opposite Mu Dianke, his expression was still not very good, but he didn't lift the table with his hands like before.He stared at Mu Dianke patiently for a while, and asked: "The assassin who assassinated Rong Yi, was you let go?"

Mu Dianke made a guilty "huh".

She saved Tangning on her own initiative, and almost caused a big mess.She was overly frightened yesterday, Jin Yanchen didn't care about her.Come back today, this account must be settled.

Jin Yanchen asked again: "Who is it?"

"Tangning."

"reason?"

"Just... want to save."

Jin Yanchen got angry and slapped the table with his slap, causing the plate of shredded chicken to be turned upside down: "If you want to save it, you can save it. You are very capable. That's the left side, it's not a cat or a dog, you grow up!" No brains?"

Mu Dian could lower his eyes and remain silent.

Jin Yanchen became angry when he saw it: "Mute? If you have the ability to save people, don't cause trouble if you have the ability. You still have the guts to set fire..." Thinking of how she threw herself into the fire last night, her tone was extremely hateful: " Why not burn you to death!"

As soon as the word "burn to death" came out, Mu Dian couldn't help turning pale.

Jin Yanchen was eloquent and reckless, and he regretted it after he finished speaking.Seeing her pale face, I couldn't bear it, restrained my anger, and said in a slow tone: "Don't follow Chang Qianfo to make trouble. He dares to go crazy because he has Chang Jiabao as his backing. What do you have? Who do you count on to protect you?"

Mu Dian knew he was in the wrong, so his attitude was extraordinarily obedient, and he said, "I know."

She pissed so much.Usually he has a bit of a stubborn temper, but when he is being unreasonable, his aura fades away, his eloquence is put away, and he is as obedient as a cat.

Jin Yanchen looked at her lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and couldn't lose his temper anymore, so he turned around and asked Tan Qianqiu to bring the food.

Although Rong Yi gave Minggong a day to interrogate Tuoba Changrou, but considering the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it was clearly stipulated that torture is not allowed.

Tuoba Changrou had no fear, so he picked up some nonsense and crazy talk, which tormented him for most of the day.

After a while, he was already hungry, and when the food came to the table, he didn't care about his appearance, and started to gobble it up.

Mu Dianke held the porridge bowl, sipped it slowly for a while, looked at Jin Yanchen from the rim of the bowl as if his anger had subsided, thought it over, and asked casually, "Go and question Tuoba Changrou, Did she say anything?"

While eating, Jin Yanchen said without raising his head: "He was very stubborn, and he insisted that he was threatened by Mu Cangping and forced to poison me. I lied to her a few words, and felt that the matter was not that simple. Not good, I have something to do with the dignitaries in Jiankang."

This is exactly what Mu Dianke is worried about.

Today is a chaotic world.Although it is much more stable than the turbulent situation in which local forces were separatist in the first three to forty years, raising flags and claiming kings everywhere, after all, the accumulated evils have not been cleared up, and it is difficult for the political power to be highly centralized.

The imperial court has limited energy. It needs to strengthen its control over the local area and guard against the neighboring countries that look at it like a tiger. However, the gentry clans are not in agreement with each other, and they are busy all day long with internal strife.

Back then when the Jin family was wiped out, the whole world knew about it, and the Southern Dynasty only sent people to express their condolences symbolically, commending the Jin family for their achievements in expelling the Demon Sect, and nothing else to say.

However, now, the struggle between Ming Palace and Mu Cangping has just begun to show signs, and the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Kingdoms have come to disrupt the situation.

Behind this kind of action, there is really a deep meaning.

"You mean, Jiankang colluded with Mu Cangping and cooperated with this assassination?"

Jin Yanchen nodded: "So we must first find out what kind of plot these people have. Is it an unresolvable hatred between us?"

There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.Before solving Mu Cangping, he didn't want to make too many enemies.

Mu Dianke pondered for a moment, and said, "No matter what their plans are, why must they use Tuoba Changrou to poison you?"

If you want to be secretive, Tuoba Changrou is definitely not a good candidate.

Jin Yanchen said: "This is what I didn't understand. Or, someone wants us to fight with Tuoba Qi? But Tuoba Changrou is not a fool, why is she willing to be manipulated by others?"

It's a mystery everywhere.

Mu Dianke was also lost in thought.

Jin Yanchen thought of something again, and said, "Have Xu Younan told you about the matter of cutting wind and iron? Now that everything is unclear, it cannot be said that it must have something to do with Fang Rong's family. Don't go to Rong Yi yet." Trouble."

Mu Dianke nodded.

Jin Yanchen said again: "In the future, beware of Tuoba's softness."

Mu Dianke was thinking about something, and responded casually, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Jin Yanchen was a little annoyed, and said, "Did you hear that?"

Mu Dian didn't know why Jin Yanchen got angry again, but anyway, he was doing it for his own good, and patiently said: "I heard, be careful to stretch the long soft."

This attitude is obviously perfunctory.

Jin Yanchen stretched his face, and his face became darker. After a while, he said: "Tuoba Changrou hated you for some reason, and threatened to get rid of you at all costs. This woman is a lunatic, so don't be too careless."

Mu Dian could see that Jin Yanchen's attitude was cautious, so he didn't dare to perfunctory him, and said seriously: "I know."

No more words.

Mu Dian really didn't have much appetite, and he didn't drink a small bowl of porridge for a long time, so he put down the bowl and went outside to bask in the sun under the grape shelf.

It is already April, and new leaves are sprouting from the vines, a large piece of fresh green.The leaves are still too small to block the light, and the sunlight leaks through the gaps, forming straight beams of light, floating light and dust, shadows moving like chasing, hazy and dizzy.

It looks very warm.

It just doesn't warm my heart.

Jin Yanchen saw Mu Dianke sitting under the shelf wearily, his eyes were slack, and finally realized that something was wrong with her today, and turned to Tan Qianqiu, "What's wrong with her?"

Tan Qianqiu didn't know what happened, and said: "After the girl woke up, she didn't get up immediately, but sang a song."

"What song is it?"

Mu Dianke's voice was vague, and Tan Qianqiu didn't listen carefully, and said unsurely: "It seems to be the moon, it's dark or something."

Jin Yanchen understood.

It was a nursery rhyme that their grandmother Zeng Rou taught them to sing:
It's dark, don't be afraid, there is a big moon in the sky;

It's dark, don't be afraid, there is a mother in the dream;
It's dark, don't be afraid, Yuner and Yuer are here to accompany you;
It's dark, don't be afraid, it will be dawn as you walk.

Grandma said: "In this life, there will always be unsatisfactory times, sadness and loneliness. Grandma hopes that my children will not have such a day. If they do, you must remember what grandma said today. No matter how dark it is, There will always be light; no matter how hard people are, there must be hope."

During those days in the desert, he thought of the words his grandmother had said to him more than once.I don’t know how many times I watched Mu Dianke sit on the Gobi with his legs crossed and listened to her sing this song.

He stood right behind her, in the shadow of the moon.But he didn't go out once to comfort her.
