Traitor

Chapter 233 The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, so it is famous

"Why are you born like a dog's skin plaster, you can't even shake it off?" Wen Gu said with resentment on his face, "This is in the wild, what do you really want? As the governor of the army, instead of doing your thing, you should be I'm a follower. We didn't follow the young master for a day or two, are you afraid that we will eat her, or swallow her alive?"

Jian Yan just glanced at Wen Gu lightly and didn't answer.

"Hurry up and go back to your tent, don't wander around here." After all, Wen Gu also saved Jian Yan's life, so when facing Jian Yan, Wen Gu was not polite at all.

"I was just thinking, Wuyou saw the queen today, I'm afraid there will be danger in the future, so I just want to guard her!" Jian Yan let out a deep breath.The elegant scholar, standing in the dark, is a bit sinister, making people panic when looking at him.

Wen Gu sneered twice, "That's also my son's own business. When will it be your turn to be the governor and worry about the matter of supervising the army? Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian, let's do it for ourselves! If you do everything too much, your fate will end early, and you will only do it like this." It makes people feel disgusted, and it won't make people think how good you are. Your little bit of grinding has polished off the last guilt and love the young master has for you. "

Jian Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, staring intently at Wen Gu in front of him, without saying a word.

"Hurry up and go!" Wen Gu said, "Didn't you see that no one welcomes you here? Even if you go to the wasteland for the son, what's the use? You want to be by her side, but have you asked her if she is willing? It's like You don't like carrots, but someone told you that carrots are good for your body, so if you have to give them to you, do you think it makes sense? Will people like it?"

Jian Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled wryly.

Wen Gu took a deep breath, "Stop doing useless work, no one will accept your love. Even if the young master dies alone, he will not be with you. After all, you are just brothers."

Letting out a long breath, Jian Yan turned and left.

Su Xi stepped forward, glanced at Jian Yan's back, then turned to look at Wen Gu, "Why is he here again?"

"It's not that it's coming again, it's that it's not going away." Wen Gu sighed softly, "Young people, after all, are obsessed and always feel that they are right, but they don't know that the desire in people's hearts is often at work, and they can't get it. The best is always the best. He may not have true love for the young master, it's just that he can't get it!"

Su Xi sneered, "I can't get much. Is it possible that all the world is true love? He was considered elegant and gentle earlier, but now he looks a little cunning. I always feel that this person is a bit weird, but I can't tell the truth." Something is not quite right."

"Probably because I hate such dog-skin plasters!" Wen Gu sneered.

Su Xi shrugged, "About that!"

All the movements outside fell into Mu Baili's ears without exception.Those who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, and they have to see all directions and listen to all directions, so that they can be comprehensive.

Looking down at the charming lady in his arms, Mu Baili smiled half a smile, "What should I do with this peach blossom debt?"

Zhao Wuyou raised her eyebrows lightly, "Love debts must be paid with flesh. If Lord Qiansui is willing, I don't have any objections. As for women, who do you want to live with? If you can change your taste, it might not be a bad thing."

"How dare you!" He shouted, turned over and pushed her down, "You're so unscrupulous, but relying on me to please you?"

She smiled slightly, with a faint light between her brows, "You can come in and out here freely, isn't it because I like you? In the case of gangsters, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Double fights are like a war, and double fights are the same." It's boring. It's—"

The slender jade-like fingertips ran down his chest slowly along the excellent line.Yingying grasped it, and murmured softly, "If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals!"

He froze for a moment, and immediately tightened his body.This unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is completely a female hooligan.

"Do you want to continue it for your husband?" He leaned forward to meet her, imitating her appearance, and also headed south all the way, "The water is not deep-there is a dragon." Let her go, but this girl doesn't know what's wrong, probably because she is worried in her heart, so she doesn't want him to go.

But she has a stubborn temper and always refuses to admit defeat, so she can only express her thoughts in this way.

Indeed, on the surface, she has everything in mind, but in reality she still has worries.After all, it would be fine if you really came here for the peace talks, but the peace negotiations are just a fog bomb, and the real purpose is for Huanglan's treasure, the Snow Fox, which makes people feel nervous and timid.

After all, a woman is a woman, and many things are too delicate to think about, and it is inevitable that she will be unable to let go.

When Mu Baili left, Zhao Wuyou was still sound asleep. He heated up the brazier in the tent, and then touched her forehead. After confirming that everything was safe, he left with peace of mind.

His appearance and disappearance cannot be seen by others.

In fact, he did a good job. He was indifferent and ruthless in front of others, which was really Dongchang's style.

Helplessly chuckled, how long will this sneaky day last?He thought, waiting to get the snow fox as medicine, then her body will recover!
When her health improves, the possibility of her being with him will be greater.

Mu Baili quietly returned to his tent, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears.This was probably the luckiest thing for him, because not long after he went back, Jian Yan stood far away in the shadows, looking at Lu Guoan who was guarding the door, his eyes darkened.

When Lu Guoan came out of the tent, he was almost taken aback, but Jian Yan was not a fool, he had to leave naturally when Lu Guoan saw him, otherwise it would be of no benefit to confront Dongchang.

Therefore, Lu Guoan only saw the back of Jian Yan leaving, and didn't pay attention to how long he lingered here.Since when did Jian Yan focus on his own Lord Chitose?

This situation is really weird enough.

After recruiting his followers, Lu Guoan asked, "Since when did Master Jian stand there?"

"It's been a long time, about a few hours." The follower replied, "Because I haven't done anything, the subordinates didn't chase him away sharply, so as not to startle and offend Lord Qiantose."

Lu Guoan nodded, "Order, if you find Jian Yan approaching us later, don't alarm Lord Qiantui, just report to me."

"Yes!" The retinue saluted.

After thinking about it, Lu Guoan turned around and returned to the tent. Mu Baili had already taken off his coat and was about to sleep again. Who knew that Lu Guoan had gone and returned, and immediately understood what was urgent.

"Master, I found a strange thing in my humble position." Lu Guoan and Mu Baili had a deadly friendship, so there was nothing to say or not to say.

Mu Baili sat up, "Say."

Lu Guoan said, "I just found out that Jian Yan was wandering around us. It's probably not a coincidence. After asking, I found out that he has been guarding us for several hours. There must be some purpose."

"How long has it been?" Mu Baili rubbed his brows, "I guess he came back from Zhao Wuyou, so he is guarding this tent."

Lu Guoan suddenly realized: So he was waiting to be caught-rape-ing?
But after thinking about it, it's not right. My grandfather and Mr. Zhao have been acting all day long. It stands to reason that no one can see what Lord Qiantose is thinking about Mr. Zhao. Could it be that Jian Yan has developed a third eye?Otherwise, how could he have set his mind on our Lord Chitose?

Do you want to keep an eye on Lord Chitose for Zhao Wuyou, or...

This is the problem, if it is for Zhao Wuyou to stare at Lord Qiansui, it is understandable, after all, Jian Yan is also an infatuated species.But if you suspect that Lord Qiantui has something to do with Mr. Zhao, and stare at this place, the consequences will be disastrous.

Mu Baili's eyes darkened slightly, "Have you sent the letter I asked you to send?"

"Yes!" Lu Guoan nodded, "Eagle has sent a letter back to the capital, and Shen Yan will take care of it. It is estimated that he will go there in person for such a big matter, and dare not pretend to others."

"These little ghosts jumped out of the underworld, and they jumped up and down very happily!" Mu Baili had a lot of meaning.

Lu Guoan chuckled, "A grasshopper after autumn won't be able to jump around for long."

"Go down!" At this moment, Mu Baili was completely sleepless.

Thinking of Zhao Wuyou's situation and using herself as a bait, he felt uneasy.He didn't think much of it before, and it was extremely handy to use her as the bait of Wuji Palace, but now—he would rather be her bait himself, at least in this way, the safety factor would be higher.

He has the ability to protect himself, but she doesn't.

Lu Guoan withdrew from the tent, after thinking about it, he should go and find Suxi, it's better to get some ventilation in this situation.But his identity is also embarrassing, so he can't go directly to Zhao Wuyou's camp.

Every day before dawn, Wen Gu would decoct the medicine, and then Suxi would serve the medicine.

Lu Guoan pinpointed the time, and Suxi happened to come over to fetch the medicine. When he saw Lu Guoan, he was taken aback, and quickly followed him into the tent.Putting down the soup in her hand, Su Xi was puzzled, "Why did you come here? If you let others see it, you will be caught in a big basket."

"I know I shouldn't come here, but there are some things I need to say hello to you." Lu Guoan is used to being careful in handling things, "Yesterday, Jian Yan stayed in the tent of Lord Qiantose, but fortunately, Lord Qiantose's tent is not used to lighting , unless it was when discussing important matters, so I didn't teach him to discover the fact that Lord Chitose was not in the tent. But this matter is still a bit weird. Master said that Jian Yan should have started guarding Lord Chitose when he came back from Mr. Zhao. tent."

"I don't know what this means, but I always feel that in order to put safety first, I should communicate with you, so that you can also be mentally prepared, so as not to be caught off guard and cause trouble."

Wen Gu poured out the dregs of the medicine and came back. Hearing these words, he almost exploded.Dawn is approaching, so I don't want to startle other people, so Wen Gu can only lower his voice, "That brat is really a thief, he looks warm and moist, but he is also a man of the city."

Su Xi sneered, "Children of officials and eunuchs, which one is a simple role? They are scheming and cunning. But I didn't expect that Jian Yan's thoughts are so careful. When did she pay attention to your East Factory? "

After saying a word, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and began to recall the little things along the way.It seems that from the very beginning, Jian Yan's eyes were on Zhao Wuyou, and he never suspected Mu Baili, nor had any contact with Dongchang. It is logically impossible to detect the relationship between Mu Baili and Zhao Wuyou.

"Could it be the last time Lord Qiantui moved his hand?" Lu Guoan asked hurriedly, "Where was Jian Yan last time?"

Wen Gu spread his hands, "I didn't pay attention. At that time, I only cared about the son's thoughtfulness, so I didn't care if he was simple or not."

Su Xi carefully recalled that she was behind and didn't see clearly, "It must be under the car!"

Lu Guoan frowned, "No one looked carefully, so it is very likely that there was a mistake at that time. When a person is in danger, the first reaction is the most real. The heart of the Thousand Years is Master Zhao, so all arrows were ready at that time. Fa, Lord Chitose's first reaction was to check Master Zhao's Zhouquan. I was beside Lord Qiantose at the time, so Lord Qiantose turned his head, and I saw it."

"Did Jian Yan see it too?" Su Xi was startled.

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, this might not be possible.

Jian Yan was beside Zhou at the time of Bao Buqi, and he could see the expression of Lord Qiantose inadvertently.If this is the case, then there will be big troubles, I hope Jian Yan didn't see it clearly, or didn't want to understand it, otherwise - this Huanglan and his party, I'm afraid they will fall short.

"Just wait and see what happens!" Lu Guoan sighed softly.

Suxi nodded, "Pay close attention to Lord Qiantui, and I'll keep an eye on the young master. If Jian Yan really notices something, we have to be prepared, and we can't let him ruin the big thing."

Lu Guoan nodded, acquiescing to the verbal agreement.

After each went back, Suxi told Zhao Wuyou exactly what Lu Guoan had said.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou didn't seem surprised, just coughed twice, and said with a low sneer, "I grew up with Jian Yan, and his thoughts have always been deep, but in front of me, he has always They are all restrained very well. If not—I guess I wouldn’t even find him suspicious, so such a person is actually very dangerous.”

"My lord, why didn't you just kill him?" Su Xi pursed her lips, "You can do it for me with a humble job."

"He saved me, and I saved him, and I paid back everything that should be paid. It's just that he is the emperor's son-in-law. Do you think the emperor just randomly sent someone to join the army? Suxi, you are thinking too simply." Zhao Wuyou shook his head and got up.

Suxi quickly took the clothes and changed Zhao Wuyou's clothes, "Believe it or not, as soon as something happens to Jian Yan and the princess walks in front of the emperor, the trust that my Zhao family has worked so hard to build up in front of the emperor will collapse."

Su Xi was shocked, "Why? It's just an unfavorable princess, and Jian Yan had no achievements and no reputation earlier."

"Because he has no achievements and no reputation, no one will take him seriously. Then let me ask you, why did such a person who no one pays attention to die?" Zhao Wuyou asked back.

Su Xi was dumbfounded, and really didn't know how to answer for a while.

"A person who didn't trust anyone, but died in a foreign country, do you think the emperor will believe it? The emperor is suspicious. He didn't trust foreign ministers enough. If something happens to Jian Yan, I'm afraid it will implicate myself. I can't do it here. It's time to take any risks." Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, "So Jian Yan can't be busy for the time being, he should be thinking of this level for being so unscrupulous."

"Once the Zhao family collapses, do you know how many people will want my head? I'm afraid I will die without a place to die!"

Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "This is also the reason why the young master knows that Xiang Ye has treated you so well, but he dare not fight back easily?"

"Suxi, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. All counterattacks can only be carried out on the basis of you having enough ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, you will be hitting a stone with an egg, and you will be stupid." Zhao Wuyou's face turned pale. Bai, "You should understand that I'm not the kind of reckless person whose blood rushes to my head."

Those who know current affairs are heroes, and she doesn't want to become anyone's victim.

She, Zhao Wuyou, would not allow anyone to bully her, but she would not be so stupid that she could not control herself.

Su Xi nodded, "Young Master understands what you mean, and won't touch Jian Yan at all. But you can think about it, if you let Jian Yan go on like this, if something happens, it will probably be a major event."

"I also know that Jian Yan can't stay longer, but even if something happens, he has to go back to the capital whole and stand in front of the emperor before it's over. Otherwise, if Jian Yan makes a mistake, it's not my fault or Mu Baili's fault. For the fault of the two of us, there must be one of us to take responsibility for Jian Yan's death. If it were the same as before, I will do everything to make Mu Baili unable to recover." Zhao Wuyou paused, and did not continue.

At this point, she could only sigh softly.

Now that she is asked to deal with Dongchang, she is already unable to do so, so she can only settle for the next best thing, first to protect each other's security, and then think about how to deal with Jian Yan.As for Jian Yan, Zhao Wuyou actually had a clue in her heart, she guessed a little from the beginning, and after what happened in the battle, her guess was confirmed more and more.

This matter must be carefully considered, and if you are a little careless, you may cause a catastrophe.

Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Why does it sound like it's raining?"

Su Xi was taken aback, "I haven't had it just now." As she spoke, she stepped out and saw some drizzle outside, falling on the tent and making a rustling sound.Involuntarily smiling, Su Xi looked back at Zhao Wuyou, "Master's ears are much better than those of us who practice martial arts."

"It's not that your ears are sensitive, it's just that you're distracted, so even the slightest sound is harsh." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Today's peace negotiation is not easy."

"If the palace changed its attitude towards the young master, what should the young master do?" Suxi asked.

Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "Of course I have to jump into the hole I dug myself."

Su Xi frowned, "What if there is danger down there?"

"What I have done and the years I have lived, where is there no danger?" She sneered weakly, "Forget it, just wait!"

Fortunately, it doesn't rain often in this desert. Here, rain represents auspiciousness, so even the two people in the palace felt that the Daye envoy might be a symbol of auspiciousness.

Yesterday, because of the content of the peace talks, the two sides broke up because of the quarrel. Today, the desolate monarch found a way to talk about it, saying that the talks will be discussed another day.Everyone knows what this means.

The emperor was dissatisfied with Daye's conditions, and planned to delay Daye's envoys and delay the peace negotiation.The longer the time, the more unfavorable and dangerous it would be for the envoys of Daye.After all, this is Huanglan, if you stay in a foreign land for too long, something will happen.

However, although the emperor was unwell, he held a reception banquet in the afternoon.

I don't have so many scruples in Huanglan, so I don't care too much about the auspicious day of the banquet, as long as the emperor is happy, it can be any time.Zhao Wuyou glanced at the official uniform on his body, and then glanced at Jian Yan who was not far away. Jian Yan who was wearing the official uniform was indeed handsome, at first glance he was really a gentle and handsome young man.

Dongchang's chariots were already waiting outside the camp. Since they were going to a banquet, they should not go alone. The Daye Mission should go with them.

Zhao Wuyou came out slowly, Mu Baili smiled coldly, "I thought Mr. Zhao couldn't come out."

Hearing this, she smiled back, "I'm sorry, I disappointed Lord Qiantose again. I can let Lord Qiantose know some other day, and then Zhao Wuyou must have fulfilled what Lord Qiantose wanted, and he will definitely be bedridden, so that Lord Qiantose will also let me know." Can be happy."

He gouged her out coldly, this girl's mouth is really poisonous, this is turning a corner and saying that he is useless!Others can't understand, but he knows it well.If it wasn't for the fear that she would be too tired and he deliberately showed mercy, would she still be standing here and making sarcastic remarks?

What an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!
Mu Baili coughed dryly, "Master Zhao is so polite, but it makes me stingy."

"When will Lord Thousand Years have a big time?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly.

He was taken aback. She had already got into the carriage and lowered the curtains.

Mu Baili glanced at Lu Guoan helplessly, and said in his heart: Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Lu Guoan was happy in his heart: It really is tofu with brine, and one thing is one thing.

After getting into the car, the team entered the city and entered the palace.The place where the banquet was held was in the garden, and the palace was full of busy people coming and going, very lively and noisy.

Zhao Wuyou didn't like too lively scenes, so he found a secluded pavilion early on to sit.There is no scenery of mountains and rivers in Huanglan's palace, but it is so empty that it makes people feel at ease, which can be regarded as a rare freedom.

"Young master?" Suxi stepped forward, breaking Zhao Wuyou's thoughts.

Looking back, it turned out to be the maid in front of the queen earlier, Zhao Wuyou recognized it.She already has a bottom line in her heart, and it is estimated that this smart queen is going to make a move on her.

As for what the queen wants to do, it remains to be considered.

The maid saluted Zhao Wuyou and said respectfully, "The Queen invites Master Zhao to come over."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Wuyou said condescendingly.

"Go and break the chess game." The waitress said with deep meaning.

Hearing this, Suxi stared at Zhao Wuyou with fixed eyebrows, Zhao Wuyou lowered his head and smiled, as if he had understood what the queen meant.

Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuyou glanced at the maid in front of him, "Didn't the queen know that I, Mr. Zhao, is not good at chess? I'm going to break the chess game here, don't you want to embarrass me? Please tell me, girl, Let’s just say that Zhao Wuyou has little talent and learning, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to help the empress, thank you for your kindness.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wuyou started to walk away.

The maid was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that the envoy of Daye would reject the queen's invitation, thinking that even his own emperor had never rejected the queen, why something strange happened today.

"Master Zhao?" The waitress became anxious, and her unfluent Daye words became even more blunt, "Master Zhao, please stop."

Zhao Wuyou looked at her coldly, "Why, can't we finish this welcome banquet?"

The maid hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, the servant is just—the queen, the queen..."

Suxi snickered aside, the maid's speech was not fluent, but now she stuttered after being forced by the young master.It seemed that the people around the queen were not that capable.It is conceivable how eager this queen is to get assistance from outside forces.

In fact, Zhao Wuyou also knew in his heart that the King and Queen of Huanglan had a lot of internal and external troubles, and Su Xi got the news after being probed, saying that the old officials in Huanglan were all from military generals, because this The matter of peace negotiation has threatened the palace more than once.

But the king is a king after all, and the minister is a minister after all.

Not long ago, Lord Huanglan dealt with a group of courtiers who had committed rebellion, suppressing a lot of them.Otherwise, the situation in this wild country would be even more turbulent.

Zhao Wuyou raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Dare to ask girl, what exactly does the Queen want to do?"

The waitress hesitated, as if holding her breath, but refused to speak.

"Since you can't treat each other with sincerity, please tell the queen, if you want others to treat you wholeheartedly, you must first put your heart into it." Zhao Wuyou left in a huff, and Su Xi quickly followed.

The maid was stunned for a while, naturally she didn't understand what Zhao Wuyou's garrulous words meant, so she had no choice but to go back to find the queen.

Su Xi was puzzled, "My lord, haven't you been waiting for the queen's movement? Why did you refuse this? Such a good opportunity, the queen came to invite me in person, presumably after deliberation, she wanted to join forces with the lord." Bar!"

"What is easy to get is easy to lose, and what is hard to get is hard to lose." Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "Suxi, this person's heart is always dissatisfied, and what is too easy to get will be unreliable and doubtful. If you want to refuse to welcome you, you have to pay attention to the time limit when inviting you into the urn. Before the time comes, you can't promise too early, otherwise you will be trapped in your own cocoon."

Suxi nodded, "I understand, the empress, the empress..."

"The more bones you can't chew, the more flavor you have." Zhao Wuyou said meaningfully.

Things in this barren billow country are getting more and more lively.It's just that Zhao Wuyou didn't expect that the more lively events were yet to come!
Emperor Huanglan personally decreed that a reception banquet was held, which was originally considered a major event for the country, and all civil and military officials were present.However, when there are too many people, accidents are easy to happen, such as this "hard-working" old minister of the first emperor.

These old ministers followed the late emperor to conquer east and west, and they were regarded as courtiers in front of the first emperor, but they are a little proud of themselves in front of the current emperor.That's why they are extremely opposed to peace negotiations, and they always feel that with their own fighting power, they shouldn't be subdued by ruling the country with words like Daye.

Therefore, after drinking for three rounds, some generals began to drink, and then continued to drink, and began to act recklessly.

When the general walked up to Zhao Wuyou with the cup in his hand, and looked at Zhao Wuyou with that kind of cold mocking eyes, Zhao Wuyou knew that this farce had finally begun.

"I don't drink." Zhao Wuyou picked up the cup beside him, "How about replacing wine with tea?"

The moment the sound fell, that splash of strong wine spilled on her face, and then continued to slide down her neck.

Almost instantly, there was a dead silence all around, so quiet that a needle could be heard.
