Chapter 9 Decisions

In Prince Mu's Mansion——

On the table in front of Zhan Tianmu is still the portrait of the little girl, still smiling so brightly, and it has not changed a bit due to the passage of time, but this time, there is another thing next to the portrait—— A jade pendant.

This jade pendant looks plain and unpretentious, without any patterns, let alone a good jade product, but on the back of the jade pendant, there is a word, a seal character Mu, which is very small and can only be seen when you look closely.

This jade pendant was sent by his best brother, who said that someone came to the pawnshop to pawn the jade pendant. He saw the word Mu and sent it over. He also asked by the way, are there any thieves in the mansion recently?

Zhan Tianmu looked deeply at the jade pendant, sighed softly, and turned to the door.

Concubine Fu just came in, she moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked to Zhan Tianmu's side, when she saw the portrait, she frowned slightly: "My lord, I am a living person here, you always look at a portrait , I would be jealous."

"My own vinegar, what is there to eat?" Zhan Tianmu smiled slightly.

"My lord, whose jade pendant is this?" Concubine Fu looked away from the portrait and landed on the jade pendant next to the portrait, "It doesn't seem to be a good jade, does this jade pendant have any special origin?"

"You... don't know?" Zhan Tianmu asked softly, his tone a little slow.

"Let me take a look." Concubine Fu calmly picked up the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, recognized the character Mu, and then smiled, "So it belongs to the prince, look at my memory, the prince's things are all I forgot."

Concubine Fu played with the jade pendant by herself, not noticing the stern look in Zhan Tianmu's eyes.

"Fu'er, you said, in late autumn that year, you jumped into the river to save me, did someone else see it?" Zhan Tianmu asked seemingly unintentionally.

"How could it be?" Concubine Fu's expression was a little unnatural, "Isn't it just you and me by the river, there is no one else."

"I remember that there is a forest by the river. Do you think someone will hide in it and peek at our afternoon's joy?" Zhan Tianmu said slowly, carefully watching the expression on Fufei's face. every expression.

"My lord, what does this mean?" Concubine Fu's smile had become very stiff, and she tried her best to maintain a gentle tone, "Even if someone looks at it, it can't be done."

"I'm just afraid that someone will pretend to be." Zhan Tianmu said slowly.

"My lord, you doubt me." Concubine Fu finally couldn't hold back her expression, she took a step back, her body stiffened, "Do you mean that I am the one who peeped? And then come to impersonate?"

"How could it be?" Zhan Tianmu stood up, hugged Concubine Fu lightly, and said in a gentle tone, "I was just mentioning it casually, Fuer's reaction is so strong, I might really think Fuer is a fake."

Concubine Fu's body trembled suddenly, and Zhan Tianmu gently pressed her head on his shoulder, but his eyes were ruthless.

That unattractive jade pendant was given by him to the girl who saved him. The woman he was holding in his arms didn't even know him. When she found him, she said that after she rescued him when she was eight years old, I never forgot him again. If it was true, how could she not even recognize the jade pendant he gave her with such affection.

Suddenly, Zhan Tianmu remembered what another woman said——

"You are really ignorant, you are being played around by the vicious woman in your arms, and you don't feel the slightest?... Either you are ignorant, or you are a cheap person. You are willing to be tricked even though you know that you are infatuated, but you are actually an idiot."

Su Momo's eloquent self-proclaimed words echoed in his ears.

——————————————————————————————————

In the dark of night, in a deep alley, a sneaky figure stood at a corner and looked around carefully. He thought he was good at lightness kung fu, and he had never failed to follow others, but today he seemed to have met his nemesis. The woman looked He looked fat and clumsy, but he acted slickly and skillfully. He followed him three times and caught up three times with his lightness.

This time, it was the fourth time I lost it. It seems that I passed the corner of this alley, right?The man thought about it, then made a decision, and walked towards the dark corner.

With a crisp "bang", the man slowly fell to the ground, and Xia Xiaoyu's strong body appeared, with a stick on his shoulder and a smile on his face.

"Hmph, Sister Stalking, you're still a little tender." Xia Xiaoyu grinned grimly, threw away the helper, picked up the things she put aside, and then set foot on the way back.

An hour later, Xia Xiaoyu took her last breath and finally made her way back to Prince Mu's Mansion.Glancing at the main gate of the prince with the golden plaque from a distance, Xia Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, then turned and walked towards the deep alley between Mu Wang's Mansion and the neighboring mansion.

"I'm exhausted." Xia Xiaoyu gasped for breath, leaning on the wall, walking and stopping, it was really the limit of her body, I'm afraid she won't even have the strength to climb the wall later, " I also need to increase the intensity of my usual training, it’s too weak, this body!”

After a quarter of an hour, Xia Xiaoyu finally stumbled and found the rattan hanging from the wall, still wrapped in rags, this is it!

Immediately, Xia Xiaoyu threw herself at the cane as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, her mind had already begun to show that the bath water that Xing'er had prepared was not soft, but it was the hard bed she liked.Even if she goes bankrupt next time, my sister will rent a carriage to travel, and walking will kill her.

"call……"

In the moonlight, Xia Xiaoyu only had rattan in her eyes, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and stepped on a soft thing.This low "huh" made her realize that there was actually a person leaning against the wall, unkempt, and his black clothes were full of rips, and under the rips were shocking scars.

She reached out and touched his black clothes, which were hard, and a strong fishy smell came to her nostrils.Xia Xiaoyu is very familiar with this smell, it is the smell of blood, this person must have gone through a lot of fighting, but why did he escape to this place?

Xia Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at the unconscious man, and made a decision - leave him alone.She is not a sympathetic person, nor is she a person who likes to meddle, and this kind of bloody scene, as well as the life and death of people, is too common for her to arouse her desire to save him.

We don't know each other before, and she is still in a bad situation.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I won't save you." Xia Xiaoyu held the cane, and said kindly to the man, "I'm not in a good condition right now, I can't save you, why don't I let you stay here and wait until I'm strong enough to be able to save you?" Someone saved you, okay?"

After speaking, Xia Xiaoyu grabbed the cane and began to think about which angle is better to climb.

"...Heh..." Xia Xiaoyu lowered her head with a faint smile, only to see that the person who hadn't moved just now opened his eyes and was looking at her.

Although his face was dirty, his clothes were torn, and he was about to die, those eyes deeply reflected in Xia Xiaoyu's eyes, bright and clear, with an indescribable feeling.The most important thing is that these eyes are not normal black, but clear ice blue.

blue?foreigners?

Xia Xiaoyu stared at him for a second, then changed her decision in an instant: "So I can still open my eyes, so I might be able to save you. It's getting late now, if I don't save you, probably no one will leave this small town." It’s alley, remember to thank me.”

Besides, she still has a mission to save 99 people. Since this person has aroused her interest, then... count it as an opening.

After hearing this sentence, the man remained expressionless and closed his eyes again.

Cut, the temper is not small.Xia Xiaoyu thought, and then tied the cane in his hand around his waist, and ordered: "I will climb up first, and then pull you up, and you have to work hard yourself, I am a weak woman. And , don't make a sound, I'm imprisoned now, and the situation is not very good."
