Traitor

Chapter 218 Under the imperial decree

Zhao Wuyou didn't know what Mu Baili meant by this, she only knew that he was holding her hand tightly and walking straight forward.The long corridor was cold to the bone, but the warmth of his palm was enough to warm the heart, making her forget the fear in her heart.

He held her hand carefully, looking back at her from time to time.

She smiled lightly, and sometimes he looked back at her, and she thought it was a little funny.In the eyes of the world, this [-]-year-old Mu Baili is in control of life and death, and when he kills, he will blink his eyes.But in her eyes, he has already become the existence of March Nuanyang.

It warmed people's hearts and her past and present lives.

Just like that sentence: Even if you never say love, I say yes.

Finally, he stopped, and there was a stone gate in front of him.Zhao Wuyou didn't know what was behind the door, but she knew that as long as he held her hand, she would dare to walk down with him.

"An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her in-laws too. Even though you are so handsome, you are really inferior to me, so I will reluctantly accept you. Otherwise, if someone else picks you up in the future, it will be unlucky." He never forgets to tell her ugly.

She sighed softly, "It's really my fault for blocking the eyes of Lord Qiantose. If Lord Qiantose dislikes it, it's still too late to regret it. Just rest assured, Lord Qiantose. , spend the night with me."

He glanced at her, "It's really shameless."

She smiled, "Since it's unbearably ugly, then it's worth noting this face! It won't save the thousand-year-old Lord from worrying about it every day!"

He looked at her helplessly, and sure enough he couldn't talk to her, so he had to lower his posture, "If you don't care, why worry? Anyway, this life is in your hands alone, it's not a loss. It's just—" He leaned over and kissed her lips, "not days, but nights..."

She rolled her eyes, "Rogue."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Baili's eyes darkened, and he gently held her cool cheeks, "Hehuan, don't regret it."

She paused, and he pushed the stone door open with his backhand.

The stone room is empty, there is nothing, only two tombstones standing in front of it, it looks like a tomb here, but it is not like a tomb.It is really not easy to make the cemetery in such a secret place.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Wuyou froze on the spot.

Mu Baili smiled a little coldly, took her hand, and walked slowly forward, "This is the tomb of my father and queen mother. It's just a thought on the left side of the tomb. I don't even dare to wear it." put."

How many people were staring at Dongchang and Mu Baili, how could he be negligent.If this item from Tilan Kingdom appears here, in case someone finds out, as long as it is sent to the emperor, all Mu Baili's painstaking efforts will be wasted.

It is impossible for a cautious person like him to leave evidence for anyone.

Even these two tombstones have no inscriptions, at best they are just two steles without words!
But for Mu Baili, this is the only thing he can do for his parents.Keep two wordless steles as thoughts, and come to see them when you feel restless or have something to do, and talk with your parents.The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and the son wants to be filial but doesn't wait for his relatives. This is probably the greatest tragedy in the world.

Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "They know you have such a heart, so they won't blame you."

"There was a fire in the palace in the past, and the royal city was full of flames." Mu Baili smiled bitterly, "There is nothing, nothing. A storm, the whole Tilan disappeared in the northern border. Hehuan, I have no home and no roots. Only you from now on."

She was startled, and looked at him fixedly.

He said, only you in the future.

With fingers clasped tightly, Zhao Wuyou frowned slightly, "Mu Baili, my mother is dead, and I have no home. From now on, I will only have you."

Kneeling in front of the tombstone and kowtowing to the two elders, as he said, one person once is fair.He kowtowed to his mother-in-law, and now she also kowtows to her in-laws. It can be regarded as full of this friendship, and no one should break the vow made to the emperor and queen.

Mu Baili helped her up, "We Tilan people swear to the true God, we must do what we say."

She smiled, "Just like you and Xue Lan? Because of a joke when you were young, you must marry her?"

He frowned, why did this girl mention Xue Lan again, didn't she see his serious appearance?
"We people in Daye will also swear, but you and I should talk to the old man in detail, engrave the three life stones, the wind and rain will not invade, and will never change." She thought for a while, then took off the jade pendant on her body, stuffed it into the "This is the only thing my mother left me, and it is as important as my life. Now I entrust my life to you, and I hope Lang Junzhen will take it very seriously."

With a smile, he immediately kissed her lips, put his hands around her slender waist, and held her in his arms, "Okay!"

She shook the bone flute in her hand, "I take everything you give me with me!"

After saying that, she reached out to take out something from his arms, after some groping, she smiled with great satisfaction: her jade flute was also hidden in his arms.Very good, carry it with you, it is not in vain for her to treasure the bone flute he gave so carefully.

Everyone - it's even!

When she withdrew his hand, he took the opportunity to hold her wrist, and slowly pressed her palm to his heart, "Remember this heartbeat, no matter what happens, this place belongs to you. This is mine Prince Tilan, Crown Prince Ran Heng's promise. The yellow sand is scorching sun, and we will stick together to the death."

She stared at him blankly, "Why are you so sensational all of a sudden? Mu Baili, don't tell me, you have something to hide from me?"

Mu Baili smiled, put his hands on her waist, and supported her to sit on the stone platform beside her.This awkward posture made her face a little red, and then she looked at him with scrutiny.

Her eyes are sharp, and her eyes are usually very vicious, so it is really difficult for him to hide something from her.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward, he smiled at her without saying a word, she stared at him and thought.In this cold stone room, only the breathing of each other is blending and flowing, nothing else.

"Master Zhao will always maintain such vigilance?" Mu Baili smiled, "It's pretty good."

"Are you leaving the capital?" she asked.

He smiled, "I suddenly have a sense of accomplishment. Such an intelligent woman will finally sink under me and cannot extricate herself. It's really amazing." He circled her, bowed his head and gnawed on her fair neck.

She held up his face and stared at him, "Don't talk about him, what do I ask you? You are leaving the capital, aren't you? You were acting weird last night, and you asked Lu Guoan to remind Suxi, You must protect me well, and I thought you might be leaving. Are you going to Huanglan? To be an envoy?"

Mu Baili looked helpless, "You are a person who can see through everything, is it interesting?"

"I see it through, and I can minimize the harm that everyone can do to me. I don't want to be led by the nose, and I don't want to be stabbed unprepared." She looked at him firmly, "Mu Baili , I could live strong without you before, and I will live well no matter if I have you or not in the future. I promised my mother that I would not let her down. "

Mu Baili nodded, "Now, treat yourself as my Mu Baili's wife, and promise again." He smiled gently, and gently stroked her forehead hair with his fingertips, "The emperor will issue an order soon, After I receive the order, I will set off immediately and go to Huanglan. It will take a long time to go, if you have something to do, I may not be able to make it back. If you are in a hurry, you can go to Shen Yan, and I will still leave him in Dongdong factory."

She nodded, "I understand."

"Hehuan, my trip is imperative." He stopped what she wanted to say.

Everyone knows that it is not necessary for Mu Baili to go to Huanglan.He is the admiral of the East Factory and he is nine thousand years old, so he really doesn't want to take risks in Huanglan.But Mu Baili's reason is that his martial arts are strong enough to deal with the turmoil in Huanglan. If the two sides fight, he will have a better chance of winning than anyone else, and he will retreat unscathed.

All Zhao Wuyou's words were stuck in her throat, she knew that he was giving her time to prepare her mentally, and she also understood why Lu Guoan said, just waiting for the imperial edict.

Under the imperial decree, there is no room for maneuver.

He was afraid that the will would be too sudden and she would not be able to accept it for a while, so he has been doing homework for her since yesterday.

It's just that she doesn't understand, really doesn't understand, why go to Huanglan?Huanglan and Daye are now on the verge of war and peace, and it is extremely dangerous to go to Huanglan at this moment.Once Huang Lan turns his face, there will be no turning back.

What's more, in the main battle of the East Factory, if the main battler is asked to negotiate a peace, it will inevitably attract criticism.

Zhao Wuyou didn't know how Mu Baili persuaded the emperor, but she vaguely felt that this move was not like a dispute between Mu Baili's emotions, but rather something hidden.

"Since your trip is imperative, I won't stop you, I just hope you can come back safely." She paused, "You have to remember, I will wait for you in the capital. If you forget, then I will also Forget about you, and from now on, we will be happy with each other."

He sighed softly, "Is there anyone more ruthless than you in the world?"

She said, "Only if I am ruthless, you will think about it and return safely. Mu Baili, I will warn you for the last time, if you break your promise and become fat, then I will find a new love. I will not cry for you, nor will I You want to die or live, I am Zhao Wuyou."

Mu Baili chuckled twice, "Yes, you are Minister of Rites Zhao Wuyou, and you are also my only Acacia girl."

She pursed her lips, "You went to Huanglan, really just to negotiate a peace? Mu Baili, don't try to deceive me, I'm not the emperor, so I won't accept your tricks. What I want is the truth, if you refuse to tell me, I will You can ask the emperor yourself."

"Huanglan has something that the emperor wants." Mu Baili looked at her meaningfully, "That thing is extremely important to the emperor."

"What?" Zhao Wuyou was puzzled.

Mu Baili took a deep breath, looking at his parents' tombstone with dark eyes, "Among the Huanglan royal family, there is a treasure. Have you ever heard of the snow fox?"

Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "I've never heard of it, what's so important about this snow fox? The emperor also wants a snow fox?" If the emperor wanted it, then this thing would be a big deal. Great cause to hook up.

This is indeed the case.

Mu Baili continued, "This snow fox is the most precious treasure in the world. It was born in the snowy area, and it can be regarded as a spirit fox. The emperor heard that this spirit fox can help the way of cultivating immortals, so he asked me to go to Huanglan. So I hereby He pretended to negotiate a peace, but for the sake of Xuehu."

"That is to say, you have to go to the Huanglan Palace?" Zhao Wuyou can always get to the point and grasp the most important thing.

He knew that he couldn't hide it from her, and he couldn't get her in even if he went around in circles.This brain is really too clear-headed.With a soft sigh, Mu Baili could only nod his head, "This thing is bred in Huanglan's palace, and it is very rare, so if you want to get a snow fox, you have to go to Huanglan's palace. But don't worry, if you really want No, then I will go to the snowy area."

"Do you think you can get rid of me with just a few words?" Zhao Wuyou got off the stone platform, "Do you think I'm a fool? To go to the snowy region? If my eyes are blackened, it's no wonder I don't freeze to death. Such a rare thing, Lord Huanglan must have sent people to look for protection day and night, how could he let the snow fox run around in the snow. If there are a lot of them, it is not uncommon."

Mu Baili smiled apologetically, "Don't be angry, just go there and see the current situation."

"Go anyway, then you can go!" She walked out, "I have prepared enough for this, you can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me."

"Hehuan?" He was taken aback for a moment, and immediately tugged her, "Are you angry?"

Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "Let me ask you, what is the utility of Xuehu?"

Mu Baili smiled without saying a word.

"Don't tell me that you went to Huanglan because of me. You are not the kind of person who will volunteer, especially in this matter, you are the one who advocates war rather than peace, so I have every reason to believe that you Going to Huanglan is definitely self-recommended." Zhao Wuyou looked at him coldly, "I want the truth."

Mu Baili frowned and looked at her, "Can't you let me impress you?"

"If you never come back, will you leave me with emotion? It's guilt, and a regret that can't be made up for in this life. Mu Baili, my life is my own, and I don't want to be at the mercy of others. Whether it is You are still my father, one is using the other to save him, but have you all asked me?" Zhao Wuyou shook off his hand.

"Even if it's to save me, I hope you can be honest, and not wishful thinking to do those things for me." Zhao Wuyou's face paled, "Mu Baili, do you really like me?"

He stared at her, "What do you think?" You are willing to risk your life for her, and you still ask such a question?
"Then you should take my feelings into consideration." Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, "I know, you are all doing it for my own good, but you can't make decisions that will make me regret for life in the name of doing my best. If one day I work hard for you, will you accept it?"

He was startled, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others." She suddenly threw herself into his arms, "I know, saying so much can't change the ending at all. The emperor is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, so he will definitely order you to go. But I hope no matter what I do Whatever decision you make, you can support it."

He hugged her tightly, "Don't you regret it?"

"As you said, you have no family or relatives, only me." She whispered.

Mu Baili smiled, "When you say this, don't be so serious, I will be moved, and sometimes I will do something. You should understand that after a man makes up his mind, it will be terrible."

"So you have made up your mind to entangle with me for life and death?" she asked.

He sneered, "Shouldn't I be the one to ask this question? As a woman, you have robbed me of everything I should say, so let me say something?"

"You just answer, yes or no." She looked up at him.

He stared, "Yes!"

Fingers clasped tightly, life and death will never be lost.

When she walked out of the underground palace, the moonlight outside was charming, and the light moonlight shrouded her body lightly like a mist.He fixed his mind to look at her pale face, the most unforgettable thing was the time spent with her.

Standing in the yard, she glanced at the closed door behind her, "How long have you been preparing these?"

"It's been quiet all the time, and I didn't dare to disturb anyone, so it's been a long time." Mu Baili stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhao Wuyou who was standing in the yard.The white clothes are better than snow, the face is clear and shallow, and the corner of the lips is a faint smile.

She laughed, "I should be relieved to think that your parents and my mother are the spirits in heaven. You'd better not mess with me in the future, otherwise those three old spirits in heaven will not let you go."

He snorted lightly, leaned over and bowed, "Yes, ma'am."

She was taken aback for a moment, smiling shyly rarely, and turned her face away from seeing his rascal appearance.

However, he still had to send her back to Tingfeng Building in Shangshu Mansion in person to avoid more troubles.The love and hatred of two people are mixed with the government and the current situation, so it is not that simple.

His footsteps were fast, and she slept soundly in his arms, and when she opened her eyes, she had already returned to Tingfeng Tower.

On the soft couch, he supported his forehead with one hand, and walked freely on her body with the other.On her thick and colorful face, those clear and moist phoenix eyes fell on her quietly.It seemed as if he was just waiting for her to wake up, and then he tore her to pieces.

"I suddenly remembered something." She talked about him from left to right, and his hands were already restless.

He smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You told me to be careful of Jinyiwei, but Zeng Qian told me to be careful of Dongchang." Zhao Wuyou said meaningfully, "Do you know what this means?"

Mu Baili smiled, "That means that the Jiaofangsi case was probably done deliberately by my Dongchang. I accidentally flooded the Dragon King Temple, and I don't recognize my family."

"Earlier, I, I thought that someone wanted to shake the emperor's trust in me and the Ministry of Rites, so I started with the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites." She breathed slightly, "But tonight, the witness was almost killed, Zeng Qian secretly warned I'm careful about Dongchang. I suddenly, suddenly realized that this time the incident probably wasn't aimed at me, but——it was the ulterior motives."

She quickly pressed his restless hand, "Stop making trouble, I, I can't stand it."

His tone was strong, "Why don't you continue talking? Huh?"

A little blush appeared on Zhao Wuyou's plain face, "I, I'm telling you the truth, you guys, Dongchang, be careful about this, don't, when the time comes... um..."

He blocked her lips, swallowing the breath that belonged to each other wantonly, sweeping the beauty that belonged to her.He narrowed his eyes, eyes full of desire, "As long as it's not aimed at you, it doesn't matter. If you are considerate, you are really considerate."

Warm fingertips, climbing mountains and wading, stirring up the situation in the pond.

She struggled to push him away, but she was completely powerless, so she could only look at him with a confused expression, "Don't, don't go too far."

He climbed onto her body and looked at her helplessly, "You are the one who went too far, didn't you see that the second brother has already protested?"

She trembled slightly, "You - why, just..."

"Don't worry, I won't want you." He felt that he must be crazy, "As long as you don't let go, I will respect you and not have sex with you. Of course, if you beg me, it will be different."

She bit her lower lip tightly, her body tensed to a certain extent, "I tell you, Mu Baili, you will, sooner or later, get retribution for your behavior. I, I..."

But he couldn't speak anymore.

He is a veteran in serving people, and she is a novice who needs to learn.That's why, from the beginning to the present, he had the upper hand in the matter of the bed.She was helpless, but she was also happy in her heart.

A room is beautiful, there is no change of seasons in a place with you, it is always warm like spring.

Zhao Wuyou was exhausted in the end, even though he kept her promise of filial piety, it would be better to break the vow in the end.He felt comfortable by himself, but she was awake for a long time, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

This guy is a master, he can teach people to think but not to think, and he almost failed to stick to it in the end.

She thought, this is what he wanted!

He didn't feel well, and she didn't feel well either, so he waited for her to "die together".

The next day, Mu Baili left early in the morning, Zhao Wuyou still slept soundly.

Until Suxi came to knock on the door, saying that the imperial decree came from the palace.

Zhao Wuyou sat up in shock, although he had been mentally prepared, but at this moment, he was still terrified.Only then did I realize that my body was trembling slightly.

The palace issued an imperial decree to Mu Baili, which meant that he should go to Huanglan to negotiate and discuss the terms of the peace.

Everyone knows that Mu Baili is in charge of the battle, so the emperor's meaning is also obvious, and it is imperative to negotiate a peace.When the emperor did this, everyone was taken aback. If Jiu Qiansui went to Huanglan to discuss peace, would it be considered as pushing people into the fire pit?
But when they thought of Mu Baili's murderous appearance without blinking an eye, everyone felt chilling again.

No one could guess what the emperor was thinking.The king who ignored the government suddenly issued a strange imperial decree and made an unimaginable decision.

Even Zhao Song and Xiao Rong were also puzzled, not understanding what the emperor wanted to do for a while.

Zhao Song hurried into the palace, but Xiao Rong, who was neutral, naturally didn't say a word, and remained silent.But this time, Zhao Song failed to see the emperor.

The emperor said that it was for the peace of the people in the world, for the peace of the people in the world, and for the longevity of the country of Daye, so he wanted the heaven to see the sincerity of the king.So the emperor decided to burn incense and take a bath, and then fasted for three days.

For all, this is a wonderful king.

It has nothing to do with the foreign policy of the Huanglan country, or with the heavens. There is no need for the emperor to go to bigu to burn incense and bathe.Doing so will only make Huang Lan feel that we are afraid of them.

But the emperor is the emperor, he likes to be hungry, how can you force him?

For a while, there were various speculations in the palace regarding the news that Jiu Qiansui was ordered to go to Huanglan to discuss peace.The emperor's decree came suddenly, and the decision was also sudden. Although it is impossible to think about this strange immortal king with the mind of a normal person, but...it is too unreliable.

"My lord, this is..." Su Xi frowned, "Going to Dongchang? Or entering the palace?"

Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Su Xi was startled, "Master?"

"Something happened to the court, shouldn't I go to discuss it with my father?" Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, and walked slowly outside, "Let Wen Gu bring the order, I'll drink it and leave."

Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "The humble job will be gone immediately."

Last night, Wen Gu didn't dare to rest until he was sure that Zhao Wuyou had returned.Such a big event happened early this morning, and everyone in the capital already knew about it, so Wen Gu naturally knew about it too.

He thought that Zhao Wuyou would be sad, but he didn't expect to meet Suxi on the way, but asked him to prepare medicine.

"The medicine is three-point poisonous, so you can't take too much." Wen Gu frowned, "Haven't you suffered enough in the palace last time? If you pretend to be sick with medicine every day, you will be exposed sooner or later."

"Let you go, why are you so wordy?" Su Xi was displeased, "My lord is worried now, so you should say less."

Wen Gu sighed softly, "I'm worried about her body. I'm always worried about this and that. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Her background is not good in the first place, so she can't stand such a torment." He babbled Turning around, "It's really not worrying at all."

Holding the sword in her arms, Suxi raised her eyebrows to see Wen Guli's back, "This old man with a stubborn mouth."

Waiting for Wen Gu to come back with the medicine, Zhao Wuyou was already waiting under the pear tree.White clothes win snow, standing with hands behind their backs.Her eyes fell on those pear leaves, her lips were tightly lined, and her mind was heavy.

"Are you really going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Wen Gu asked in a low voice.

With a light sigh, Zhao Wuyou turned around to look at him.The warm smile of the past was gone, and there was a bit of unrelieved melancholy, "I have to go to the prime minister's mansion. If such a big event happened, if I can't stand beside my father, it will attract suspicion." .”

She stretched out her hand to take the decoction on Wen Gu's tray, calmed down and drank it all in one gulp.

Wen Gu opened his mouth, but in the end he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Don't worry about me, you won't lose a piece of meat when you go to Xiang's mansion." She coughed twice, "I will take the Princess with me, and try to make my father feel that I am on his side."

Wen Gu was taken aback, she was - explaining?

Zhao Wuyou didn't take another look at him, Mu Yao was already waiting at the door, this time she still had to cooperate with Zhao Wuyou.

"I just don't understand, what does Dongchang have to do with us after accepting the imperial edict?" Mu Yao didn't understand.

Zhao Wuyou walked slowly in the long corridor, "You must know that Dongchang's trip is to negotiate peace, but the content of the peace negotiation is the key. Huanglan is a country of barbarians, and some things must be very tricky. If only one person from Dongchang decides, then whether it is the Prime Minister's Mansion, King Qi You's Mansion, or even the entire imperial court, they will be very passive."

Mu Yao suddenly realized, "So that's the case. However, since you can think of these things, the Prime Minister must also be able to think of them."

"That's natural." Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "So I'm just going through the motions, so as to avoid suspicion between father and son, thinking that I have two hearts."

Mu Yao nodded and followed Zhao Wuyou into the carriage.

Wen Gu was sent to the door until Zhao Wuyou went to the prime minister's mansion, he could not accompany him, lest Zhao Wuyou would cause trouble.But the worry in my heart became more and more serious.In his eyes, the prime minister's mansion is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair, Zhao Wuyou can still break through it.

When she led the princess into the prime minister's mansion, Zhao Song frowned.

Chen Ping stepped forward, "Master Xiang, the young master probably came here for the imperial edict of the emperor?"

Zhao Song's eyes darkened slightly, "What does she want to do?" The girl's thoughts became more and more unclear.
