I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"So how did you do it just now, to convince Che Huai to switch sides?" Wei Cang asked.

"This is a long story." Luo Qianhuai glanced at the strong men holding swords behind him: "The most urgent thing is to leave here as soon as possible. As for how my subordinates escaped, I will report it to the Young Master later. bright."

Mr. Mo watched Luo Qianhuai's cherry mouth opening and closing, and his heart was filled with a faint joy, and he didn't care about the excitement in her words at all.

"Let's all disperse." He ordered calmly.

The Yaoxing Tower in Xijing is more magnificent than the Mingyue Tower. The five floors are all exquisite and gorgeous, and countless money was spent on decoration and decoration. A lot of thought was spent on a lamp, a table, and a set of dishes.

The chef is a well-known chef hired with a lot of money. It is said that some of the dishes may not be available even in the Weiyang Palace, so naturally it has become the first-class place to sell money in this prosperous place in Xijing.

In an elegant room on the top floor of the Zhaixing Building, the table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, snacks and fruits, served in extremely thin sweet white porcelain cups, which shine like jade under the light.

Luo Qianhuai and Mr. Mo sat opposite each other. She hadn't eaten much in the past two days, so naturally she wouldn't pretend to be a lady at this moment and just ate a lot on her own. On the other hand, Mr. Mo has suffered no less than her, but his posture while dining is still extremely elegant, which is pleasing to the eye just to look at.

Luo Qianhuai took advantage of the beauty while eating and accidentally ate an extra bowl. While eating, she took what she had said to deceive Che Huai before as a joke and repeated it to Mr. Mo. Unexpectedly, instead of laughing, the other man's face became more and more serious.

Luo Qianhuai was shocked. Wouldn't the other party still doubt her identity?

"Young Master." She decided to explain: "I really had no other choice at that time. That letter happened to give me a new idea. I didn't expect that by accident, I happened to catch him just in time. Don’t you think this is too coincidental? Haha, hahaha.”

"It's not a coincidence." Mr. Mo looked into her eyes and shook his head: "I'm just afraid they left too late and couldn't protect you."

The amount of information in these words is too great. Luo Qianhuai's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time while pointing at Mr. Mo.

What do you mean, those people were arranged by him? Is it possible that the majestic embroidered clothes envoy is also Mr. Mo's person?

When Luo Qianhuai looked at Master Mo's brows and eyes with a faint smile, he felt a little unpredictable.

"So the reason why the young master brought people back to Yushan Garden is because he was afraid that Tang Shiling would not arrive in time?" Luo Qianhuai asked tentatively, his voice a little hoarse.

Mr. Mo did not answer directly. "I'm worried about you." He looked directly into Luo Qianhuai's eyes, his eyes dark and deep: "Madam Luo, Mo has a question."

Luo Qianhuai didn't know why, but he just felt that the earth dragon in the Yage was burning a little too vigorously. She lowered her eyes and did not look at him.

"You can obviously refuse them, and you should also know that I have a way to protect myself. Why do you come here alone?"

Luo Qianhuai sighed secretly. Can she just say that it's because there is a system that forces her to play tricks if nothing happens, just to keep the world in chaos? Obviously not.

"My Lord, there is no need to ask these words." She said righteously, "If you were looking at anyone from the Guards Camp or the Lushuang Camp right now, they would give you the same answer. If you ask me like this alone, Is it because you don’t trust your subordinates enough?”

Mr. Mo looked at her quietly for a long time, then he picked up the sapphire pot in front of him, poured two glasses of clear and translucent wine, and handed one to her: "What you said is not entirely correct."

He drank it all in one gulp and showed the bottom of the cup to her: "From the bottom of my heart, I don't want you to be like them."

Luo Qianhuai also drank all the wine in his glass. The wine is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is slightly sweet. It is indeed a rare good wine. She smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "I am today because of the gift of the young master. I don't understand what the young master said about "no hope."

Mr. Mo looked at her deeply, and did not say anything else. He changed the subject and said, "We have known each other for such a long time, but I have never asked Madam Luo about Mrs. Luo's name. Can I tell you?"

Logically speaking, in ancient times, a woman's maiden name was never allowed to be revealed to her male partner. Luo Qianhuai was not a native woman, so she had no intention of being coy, but she still had the idea of ​​​​being peaceful in the future, and did not want to reveal too much personal information.

"A name is just a title. The master has given his subordinates the name Wei Lian, so why should we care about anything else?"

Mr. Mo looked at her indifferent eyebrows and felt a sense of depression in his heart, which was stuffy and astringent and difficult to let go.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door of Accord.

A man whose face was half covered with a bamboo hat strode in, sat directly in front of the desk, and said unceremoniously: "Sir, why did you suddenly change your mind? Do you know that this move is not worth the gain?"

As he spoke, he took off the hat on his head, revealing a familiar face.

"Mr. Wen?" Luo Qianhuai was a little surprised: "Why are you also in Xijing?"

Mr. Wen glanced at her coldly, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame, leaving Luo Qianhuai completely confused.

"Sir, stop talking." Mr. Mo said calmly: "Mo's decision was made after careful consideration. I will never regret it."

"Don't regret it?" Mr. Wen sneered: "Sir, have you forgotten that Han Min'er was deeply favored by His Majesty back then? She is not stupid. She has been diligent in business both inside and outside the palace for many years. Originally, all these forces can It’s for your use, but you don’t want it. It’s simply unreasonable to destroy the Great Wall just to save a woman!”

After saying that, he glared hard at Luo Qianhuai again, took a bowl and poured the wine. He drank three bowls in a row, still angry.

When Luo Qianhuai heard this, he vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

Mr. Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he even added a smile: "What Mr. Mo did today is justified. Sir, please be patient."

"How can I feel at ease?" Mr. Wen shook his head: "It's just that you ruined Han Min'er, but you didn't hesitate to use the ground to do it yourself. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will regret it after he gets angry?"

Although he didn't say it directly, the word "stunned" was already on his lips, and anyone could see it clearly.

Luo Qianhuai just thought that this matter had nothing to do with her and continued to eat the food silently, but she didn't expect that Mr. Mo's eyes moved and landed on her:

"It doesn't matter. Haven't you heard that Han Min'er drew a defense map of the capital? Wei Lian found this map personally. With this map, His Majesty will only be angry and frightened, and will never face the enemy for the rest of his life. suspect."

Could it be that the one they were talking about was Tang Zhan? She didn't want to know why this man still worked for Mr. Mo when he clearly held an important position.
  Luo Qianhuai knew he couldn't listen anymore. She just wanted to get out of this mysterious gang as soon as possible.

"Young Master, Mr. Wen." She stood up and said, "You guys can chat slowly, and I will go back to Changling first."
