Traitor

Chapter 163

"It doesn't matter whether she has a different heart or not, what I want is her telling the truth." Zhao Song snorted coldly and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and said no more.

In fact, Zhao Wuyou still knew what Zhao Song meant.After going out and getting into the carriage, although Mu Baili didn't follow, Lu Guoan followed.

The emperor readily agreed to Mu Baili's request for instructions.Given that Zhao Wuyou had been assassinated by people from Wuji Palace before, it was absolutely foolproof to let Lu Guoan, a martial arts expert, accompany him.

Zhao Wuyou had no objection, presumably her father suspected that she had colluded with Dongchang, and it must be because Mu Baili suddenly brought Lu Guoan over!
After counting the number of people, the large troops began to leave the city.

Zhao Wuyou was going to pick up someone, so there was no need for the emperor to lead all the civil and military officials to see him off.In front is the Royal Forest Army clearing the way, on the left and right are Dongchang Jinyi accompanying them, and behind them are the guards sent by the Wucheng soldiers Ma Sidian.

Only Zhao Wuyou can enjoy this kind of battle in peace.

After leaving the city, Zhao Wuyou didn't see any trace of Mu Baili, so he probably won't come.But it would be best if he didn't come, lest the people in the prime minister's mansion see him, and then he would have to be reprimanded by his father again.

Suxi got into the carriage when he was far away from the city, "Master."

"Have you heard everything?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Su Xi pursed her lips, "Yes. It's just that the Prime Minister is beginning to suspect that the young master has personal interests with the thousand-year-old. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster. Young master, should we make preparations early, so as not to be caught off guard."

Zhao Wuyou didn't take it seriously, "Do you really think my father is suspicious of me?"

Hearing this, Suxi was stunned, "Isn't it? The tone of Xiangye, isn't it that he suspects that there is something wrong between Young Master and Qiantui Lord? Earlier, Xiang Ye was not in Beijing, and Young Master went to Dongchang again and again. And Lord Chitose also visited the Shangshu Mansion, so—"

Zhao Wuyou waved his hand, "My father's thoughts, if you follow along, then you have been hit." She frowned, reached out and picked up the window curtain to look out, just in time to see Lu Guoan who was riding a horse and following him .Keeping his eyes away, Zhao Wuyou looked at the wonderful sky outside, the blue sky and white clouds were really beautiful.

"Young Master, Xiangye has other thoughts?" Su Xi was puzzled.

Zhao Wuyou looked outside, and his tone was slightly low, "He actually doesn't care whether I have contact with Dongchang at all, what he cares about is whether I am honest enough. What he wants is loyalty, if I have a few words of lies, then that's all." It's a big taboo against my father."

So she had reminded Mu Baili a long time ago that she would not cover up for him when she was in front of her father.

Su Xi's face tightened slightly, "That means, Master Xiang is testing the young master?"

"He's testing my loyalty." Zhao Wuyou put down the curtains of the car, and looked at Suxi with dark eyes, "My father has no other hobbies in this life, except for the power in his hands, which he has been pursuing all his life. He left the capital During this period of time, the power of the court and government is in my hands, which means that I may also suffer from the same problem as him, and I am addicted to power."

Su Xi frowned, "Master Xiang is worried that the young master has tasted the taste of power and won't return it to him?"

"In front of the emperor, my father is respectful and cautious. But the emperor doesn't care about things, so he, the head of a hundred officials, naturally has the posture of the head of a hundred officials. It is such an honor to be the prime minister. Life and death are in control, that is What kind of arbitrariness. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. My father is used to this kind of life, so naturally he will not allow anyone to share food with him. Not even his own daughter!"

Suxi sighed softly, "In this world, fame and wealth are all tempting, and it is easy to mislead people. Even the flesh and blood of one's own flesh and blood cannot escape this net of greed. Even if it is one's own father and daughter, it is inevitable that one's heart will be hurt by the struggle for power. rift."

Zhao Wuyou leaned against the wall of the car, and smiled lightly, "So what? After all, people have to live, and where there are people, there will be competition. It's commonplace to live and die. My father is also guarding against me. It makes sense, after all, if I am alone, he, the prime minister, will no longer be able to enjoy the pleasure brought by power."

"Be careful in front of my father from now on, don't say anything. My father is too shrewd. Even if you make a mistake in your eyes, he can see the clues, understand?"

Su Xi bowed her head, "I understand the humble job!"

After coughing twice, Zhao Wuyou turned pale.Wen Gu's medicine is really good. After drinking it last night, he no longer has a stomachache, and he wakes up today as if nothing happened.But Zhao Wuyou still had to be careful, if he accidentally missed a clue and taught others to see it, it would be a bad thing.

Because Zhao Wuyou's health is not good, so at noon, she couldn't stand it anymore.This area is all forest land, so Su Xi found an open space, covered it with curtains, and built a temporary shed.

Zhao Wuyou got off the carriage, walked into the shed with a pale complexion, and sent people to guard him strictly.She was panting badly, trying to rest on the chair leaning against the tree trunk.

"Even if you didn't take any medicine during this period, you didn't seem to be sick, why did you get sick after leaving the capital?" Su Xi was a little surprised, and hurriedly fetched water.

Zhao Wuyou looked at the pill in his palm, frowning slightly, as if hesitant.

"What's wrong, son?" Su Xi asked.

Zhao Wuyou shook his head, swallowed the pills and water in his hand, "It's nothing, don't say this in the future, if people hear it, something will happen."

Su Xi was taken aback, although she didn't understand what Zhao Wuyou meant, she still nodded.Whatever Zhao Wuyou said, she would do.Seeing Zhao Wuyou leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, Su Xi said, "My lord, it's good to rest, let's continue walking later!"

Zhao Wuyou didn't respond, and leaned against the trunk to rest with his eyes closed.

In fact, she couldn't fall asleep, and she was very vigilant, so she just closed her eyes to let herself breathe fresh air.But why did Suxi go and come back?Hearing the footsteps, it seemed——no!
Eyebrows suddenly raised, and the next moment, Lu Guoan's face came into view.

Zhao Wuyou was so frightened that he almost cried out.

But after thinking about it, no, Suxi was outside, if Lu Guoan wanted to do something wrong to him, Suxi would not let him in.That's why Zhao Wuyou immediately restrained himself and looked at Lu Guoan in front of him coldly.

The skin didn't change much, except for the eyes.

Some things can be changed, but there is no way to change the inner things.Just like the one in front of you, if you talk about this leather face - it's really flawless, almost to the point of being invulnerable.

But these eyes - Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, and then looked at him with a little contempt, "It seems that Lord Qiantose is deeply dissatisfied with his own skin, so he wants to borrow someone else's skin for a try. Or Lord Qiantose Want to try my skin and see if I can satisfy Lord Chitose?"

After saying that, he suddenly leaned forward and picked her up by the waist, and then put her on his lap.

This familiar behavior is the behavior he should have.

Zhao Wuyou peeled off the leather on his face in displeasure, "I still like this face."

Mu Baili didn't care too much, "It seems that Mr. Zhao is also a lustful person."

"Could it be that Lord Qiantose just discovered today that only this face can make me fall in love?" She smiled complacently, "But you are also bold enough to leave Beijing privately."

"I'm just here to see you off!" His warm palm wrapped around her icy cold catkin, "in case my white-eyed wolf keeps thinking about me and thinks I'm a cold-blooded and heartless person."

"Master Chitose is so rare and affectionate, I'm really flattered." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Aren't you afraid of being found out when you come out like this?"

He sighed softly, "Be careful!"

Zhao Wuyou stared at him, "Shall we go back now?"

Mu Baili reached out to caress her frowning brows, "Reluctance?"

She gave him a blank look, "You're talking nonsense."

"Then what is this?" He seemed to be juggling, with a bone flute in his palm.

"You!" She stretched out her hand to take it back, "You are really shameless."

"You still don't admit it?" He looked at her reddish cheeks with gentle eyes, "Forget it, I really have to leave this time. It will be safer to go to Liyang City with Lu Guoan following you."

After all, Lu Guoan has been with him for so many years, and he is the person he trusts most.

Holding the shiny bone flute in his hand, Zhao Wuyou watched intently as he put on a leather cover.Not long after, he appeared in front of her in another form.For a moment, her self-proclaimed clever brain was not enough. She didn't know how many faces he had, and which face was his real face?

"Wouldn't it be suspicious if you go back like this?" she asked.

His eyes shone with warmth, "Are you worried about me?"

Zhao Wuyou didn't speak, but just looked at him impatiently, then turned his head away from him.There was a sudden silence in the curtain, and when she came back to her senses, there was no trace of Mu Baili in the surroundings.

This person is always like this, coming and going without a trace, isn't it because of his own martial arts skills?But he was also a little regretful, after all, he couldn't say a few more words. Fortunately, he personally sent him out of the city, and now he has to think of a way to go back.

Not long after, Suxi came in and told Dongchang that he had sent someone back to deliver the news.

No need to think about it, he must have gone back.With a light sigh, Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.If you have a headache along the way, what should you do?

The large army had to continue to move forward. Suxi always felt that someone was following her along the way, and she always felt that something was wrong.But their goal was Liyang City, so they didn't dare to stop. If they missed the emperor's holy will, the crime would be no small one.

So Suxi exchanged opinions with Lu Guoan, no matter what happened, first guard Zhao Wuyou's carriage, and the rest can only be discussed separately.Along the way, rushing non-stop to Liyang City, he was really anxious.

Enduring the discomfort in his body, Zhao Wuyou hurriedly took King Qi You back, and hurried back to the capital.This time, she didn't want to stay outside for a moment.

In another carriage, Hanyin sat in it with a pale complexion.This trip to Fuzhou can be regarded as returning to the homeland.I didn't expect to go around and go back again.I still remember that day when the Fuzhou branch was raided by the East Factory. The sisters were basically dead, and I don’t know what is going on now?
But as soon as she stroked her lower abdomen, she remembered that her child was conceived here, but was stripped away by the people of Wuji Palace. The pain of losing her child made her grit her teeth with hatred.

But this time, she didn't seek revenge from Wuji Palace, she wanted to save Zhao Wuyou's life.Thinking of this, Hanyin subconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves.
