Traitor

Chapter 235 Convinced of His Suspiciousness

Mu Baili naturally knew what he was doing now and what he should do next.Everyone is the most calm and rational person, and after a moment of brain fever, they gradually return to calm.Staring at the dying beloved on the bed, even though she was very reluctant to let go, she had to put on a teasing smile and pretend to be indifferent.

This kind of torture is the greatest torture in this life.

Obviously want to care, but have to alienate the opposition.

Straightened up, looking indifferently at Zhao Wuyou, who was bloodless, Mu Baili hooked his lips evilly, and said the most touching love words in cold words, "Hey, the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, if you can be considerate, I will Luckily for this life."

After saying that, he left without looking back, as if the tender person just now had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Wuyou smiled, "This is the Mu Baili I know."

I am used to not showing my emotions and anger, life and death are in my hands, and I am not bound by any fetters.Only by being ruthless and resolute can you not be controlled by others and be passive in this foreign country.

"My lord?" Su Xi stepped forward, "Do you feel better?"

"You strike, I'm naturally relieved. The position and strength are extremely precise. If there is warmth, of course nothing will happen." Zhao Wuyou smiled weakly, his eyelids were so heavy, and his body felt hot and cold.

"The injury is too serious, and I have a fever." Wen Gu scolded lightly, "In the future, if you do these suicide things, don't come to me, and don't count me in it. Do all of you think I'm the Daluo Immortal? The power to bring the dead back to life? Let me tell you, with this sword strike, your arm is almost useless."

"Suxi won't let me fail." Zhao Wuyou didn't care, "I trust her."

"But I don't believe you." Wen Gu's eyes turned red anxiously, "You have to know that your body has just improved a little bit, and you finally got rid of the restraint of Wuxiang. Now as long as you restrain the cold poison in your body, you can slowly catalyze it over time. Butterfly Gu. As long as the Butterfly Gu is developed, everything will be fine, but once you are weak, the cold poison will rise up wantonly."

Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "I know all about it."

"You still dare to do this if you know it?" Wen Gu was furious.

"If I want to return to Daye quickly, and get rid of the current stalemate, I can only use bitter tricks to help a bunch of empresses who are desolate. As long as they can take power, the matter of peace negotiations will have a clue .Then I will be the main force in the negotiation, and if I attract everyone's attention, then Mu Baili can use it to steal the snow fox. I can kill two birds with one stone, so what's wrong?" Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly.

The body trembled slightly due to coughing, so that the blood on the bandage immediately fainted a little.Her slightest move can touch the wound.In addition to the pain, it may also cause the wound to crack, Suxi's sword is not light.

But if it is too light, it is too fake. If not, how can we avoid everyone's suspicion?

Thinking about it, no one would think that Zhao Wuyou made up his mind to kill himself.Such a weak civil servant didn't dare to stab himself even if he wanted to give her ten courages.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuyou tried his best to calm down, with thin sweat on his forehead.

"I'm fine!" Seeing Suxi and Wen Gu's anxious eyes, Zhao Wuyou smiled palely, "Really!"

Wen Gu turned around and walked towards the desk, without letting anyone see his expression clearly, "I'll go and prescribe medicine for you, it's best to relieve your pain. The boss is not young, so it's not worrying at all. If you go on like this, I will be the first to be tortured to death by you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu remembered that it was really unlucky to say the word "death", so he paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Zhao Wuyou with red eyes, and found that the two were staring at him, so he hurriedly I went out in a panic.

Su Xi glanced at Zhao Wuyou, "Master?"

"I'll rest for a while, don't let anyone disturb me." Zhao Wuyou felt uncomfortable all over, groggy, and just wanted to sleep.But the pain in the arm was numb, and the pain made people toss and turn.Feeling sleepy but unable to fall asleep, this feeling is not to mention uncomfortable.

Suxi hurried out the door and told the shadow guard at the door not to allow anyone to come closer.

Wen Gu went to decoct the medicine, Suxi stepped forward and sighed softly, "Did you reach some kind of agreement with the young master? Or does it really have something to do with it?"

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Gu took care of the medicine himself. Fortunately, he got a lot of medicine when he was in Jinling City, so now it is quite complete.

"Master, I don't want you to worry. She was poured wine all over by General Barry at the welcome banquet. She deliberately waited for the wine to dry up in the palace before leaving the palace. This is not your usual style. You only treat people you care about. That's why you are so careful, just like how you treated your wife in the past." Su Xi's eyes darkened, "Even when you asked her if she had been drinking, she didn't argue."

Wen Gu was stunned, "What did you say? She didn't drink?"

"Not only did she not drink, but because she didn't drink, someone poured it all over her body. When you brought me hangover soup, she drank it without hesitation. It is conceivable that she has a special affection for you." Su Xi lightly Sighing, "Of course, I know that the young master will definitely not be tempted by you, a bad old man, so the only explanation is that you have reached some kind of agreement."

Wen Gu clenched the nickname in his hand, "No."

"Why is that?" Suxi asked, "Young Master never does things for no reason. It must be something you did, or something she felt. Young Master said, let me rot my curiosity in my stomach." .I have followed her for so many years, and she has never said such a thing.”

Wen Gu stared at her in disbelief, "Master, did you really say that?"

"Then you think I made it up?" Su Xi snorted, "I don't even bother to use the young master as a cover to trick you into telling the truth."

"I didn't mean that." Wen Gu didn't seem to expect it to be like this, and was a little at a loss for a while, "I just, I just don't know what to say. There is absolutely no agreement between me and the young master, and I don't know the young master. Why did you suddenly change your mind about me?"

"Since Madam died, your son's attitude towards you has changed." Suxi took a deep breath, "It's so strange."

Recalling the past without saying a word, the secret in my heart is fermenting, subconsciously telling myself not to tell anyone about this.After all, the matter is of great importance, as long as a few words are spread, it will be a disaster for Zhao Wuyou.

He couldn't destroy her, couldn't put her in danger.

Not all forbearance is for...

"You think too much, maybe the young master feels that there are no relatives around him, and I am old, so please be extra merciful!" Wen Gu continued to move his hands.

Su Xi chuckled twice, "Pity? Young Master's compassion is pitiful, do you think I followed her on the first day? Wen Gu, don't fool me. I know Young Master better than you."

Wen Yu said nothing.

"Could it be that the young master is your and Murong's daughter?" Su Xi asked.

As soon as these words came out, Wen Gu's hands trembled instantly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Xi turned and left, "It's just nonsense, but you also take it seriously."

Wen Gu only felt a heart beating wildly in his chest, almost jumping out of his throat.When I lowered my head, I realized that my hands were shaking violently. Was it because I was acting too obviously?Or Zhao Wuyou...

He didn't know how this matter would end, he only knew that he seemed to be in a helpless situation.If this continues, the secret will surely be revealed, right?On the other side of Zhao Wuyou - did he really notice something?Otherwise, why would she treat him so kindly?

Could it be that it was discovered?

Wen Gu thought he was cautious, but he didn't realize that there were some things that couldn't be pretended.

When Su Xi returned to the tent, Zhao Wuyou was still asleep, her forehead felt a little hot, she changed into a wet towel and went out with the washbasin in her hand.When she walked out of the tent, Suxi thought for a while and asked the shadow guard who guarded the gate, "Didn't anyone come to visit just now?"

"No!" The shadow guards shook their heads.

Su Xi felt a little strange, "Did Master Jane not come?"

"No!" The shadow guards were decisive.

If it is Jin Yiwei, maybe they will tell lies, but these shadow guards brought by the Shangshufu, it is impossible to lie.So - it's true that Jian Yan didn't come?Could it be that this guy went to Mu Baili's tent to guard it?

Suxi handed the washbasin to the people around her, and walked towards Mu Baili's tent.

Looking for Lu Guoan in private, Lu Guoan shook his head, "I've never seen this kid before."

Su Xi stared, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, "That would be weird, could it be that Wen Gu really scolded him and ran away? Isn't this kid very stubborn? Now that the young master has such a big incident, he is nowhere to be seen, but Don't cause trouble."

Lu Guoan was stunned, "He has no strength to restrain a chicken, what else is he thinking? He went to find General Barry to fight for his life with a kitchen knife? As long as he has a bit of backbone, he won't be shy at the welcome banquet during the day It’s a tortoise. This guy is a coward, he only needs to open his mouth, and the rest is useless. Do you really think he can do something shocking? Save yourself!”

"You man, why are you so angry when you talk about Jian Yan?" Su Xi was puzzled.

Lu Guoan sighed softly, "As for Jian Yan, Lord Qiantui has been angry several times. If this continues, Lord Qiantui will probably chop him up and feed him to the dogs sooner or later. If he offends Mr. Zhao, we low-level people will be angry instead. .”

Su Xi chuckled, "Tell Lord Qiantose back, that our young master has no place for Jian Yan in his heart, isn't it just to make Lord Qiantose avoid the edge after being hit by this sword now? Your Lord Qiantui still doesn't know about this thought." ?”

"The brain is clear, but the heart is hurting, what's the use?" Lu Guoan said helplessly, "After such a toss, Lord Qiantui must go crazy. Tell your son to be careful, don't use too much force, this sword When he came down, Lord Chitose was also stabbed in the heart."

"It's not that you don't know what my son is thinking. His brain is so good, so..." Suxi couldn't help it, "Go back. If you notice Jian Yan later, remember to have someone come and tell me. Jian Yan and my family The young master has been a childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, and usually looks extremely gentle, but the young master said that Jian Yan is actually not simple."

Lu Guoan frowned, "You mean this Jian Yan, where is he hiding and what bad things do he want to do?"

"Who knows?" Suxi looked around vigilantly, "There is nothing wrong with being careful. He must have doubts about being able to stare at your Lord Qiantose's tent. Young Master is now starting to make arrangements. One sword strike is nothing."

Lu Guoan raised his eyebrows coldly, "This brat, if I knew this earlier, I should have killed him with a knife when I was in Pinglin City, and I wouldn't be so defensive now."

"It's easy to hide from an open spear, but hard to defend from a hidden arrow. You can't move him now, otherwise your Lord Qiantui won't be so forbearing, and my son won't be so careful." Suxi let out a long breath, "I'm going Well, if I meet Jian Yan, I will definitely tell you too."

"Okay!" Lu Guoan turned around and left.

After the two met, Suxi knew that Jian Yan was not near Mu Baili's camp, so where would this person go?This Jian Yan's mind is actually very deep in the city, so Su Xi guards Jian Yan like a thief.

After all, counting bit by bit, some things between Zhao Wuyou and Mu Baili really originated from Jian Yan.

After thinking about it, Su Xi decided to go to Jian Yan's camp to have a look.Of course, Su Xi would not be so stupid as to go over there to see it herself, but just send someone over there to have a look.But the strange thing is that Jian Yan is not in his own camp.

Su Xi rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, this damn brat must have done nothing good.

But she couldn't go to Jian Yan with great fanfare, otherwise things would get into trouble, and Huanglan's people would probably push something on Jian Yan's head. Whoever had an accident at this time might cause a big problem.

Thinking of this, Suxi can only go back to find Zhao Wuyou.

Zhao Wuyou was still running a fever, fluctuating from hot to cold, but fortunately, after squinting for a while, his mind was still clear.Hearing what Su Xi said, she immediately shivered, "You mean, Jian Yan is missing?"

"For the time being, you can say that." Suxi carefully helped her sit up, and put a soft cushion behind her so that she could lean more comfortably.

Zhao Wuyou coughed softly, "Jian Yan is good at everything, but he is too sensitive, so many things are destined to be mediocre. To outsiders, being too careful is deliberate."

"My lord, what should we do?" Su Xi asked.

"You don't have to do anything. What happened before is still the same now. Just stare at what you should stare at, and act as if you don't know anything else!" Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened, "Amidst the wilderness, Jian Yan has no relatives. Without a reason, it is logically impossible to disappear. Unless there is someone old, otherwise..."

Su Xi frowned and looked at Zhao Wuyou, "My lord means..."

"There is no news from the other side of the capital, so it's just speculation for the time being." Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened, "It's just that everything is possible, and not seeing it happen doesn't mean it won't happen."

Su Xi remained silent, if this was the case, then this matter would not be so simple.

It's really not easy. Hearing that Zhao Wuyou was assassinated and seriously injured, Jian Yan immediately rushed to Zhao Wuyou's camp, but——on the way, someone stuffed a note in his hand, and he didn't mess it up either. I was taken aback for a while.

In the woods outside the camp, Jian Yan found a secluded place to wait, "Come out."

After a while, a black shadow flashed not far away.The man didn't come over either, but stood in the shadows, looked at Jian Yan with a sneer, "Master is finally here, let me wait."

"Why are you here?" Jian Yan frowned.

"Of course the master asked me to come." The man chuckled, "Why, the master doesn't want to see me?"

"Say something quickly, and stop talking nonsense." Jian Yan looked impatient, and he wanted to rush back to check on Zhao Wuyou's injuries.It is said that it is a serious injury, but it is not sure what the injury will look like!

The man laughed again, "My lord is so anxious, is it because Zhao Wuyou was seriously injured?"

The moment the sound fell, Jian Yan frowned suddenly, "Is that you?"

"Me?" The man sighed softly, "My lord, is this going to kill me unjustly? I don't have the ability to go in and out of Zhao Wuyou's side. Who is Zhao Wuyou? Can it hurt him? Besides, I came here on orders, not because of Zhao Wuyou."

"Hmph, sweet talk, if you have something to say, hurry up and get out of here. This is not Daye, this is Huanglan! Once someone finds out, you will die without a place to die, and you will have to implicate me when the time comes." Jian Yan turned her back, unwilling to pay any attention to him.

The man said with a smile, "Young master's whole heart is on Zhao Wuyou, if the master knows, I'm afraid..."

"If you don't say anything, get out!" Jian Yan walked away.

Suddenly, the man jumped up and blocked Jian Yan's way, "But I'm just kidding, why is the young master so concerned? Well, this time I came to Huanglan to negotiate with the master on the order of the master. Things are absolutely impossible, you must obstruct it, and you must not let the peace talks between the two countries succeed."

Jian Yan was stunned, "Why? If the peace negotiation fails, then Zhao Wuyou and the others probably won't be able to go back."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this young master is still stubborn, isn't that just caring about Zhao Wuyou? Don't worry, the master can only make a decision, and Zhao Wuyou will still be yours when the time comes, but it depends on whether you can do it well, young master." One thing." The man sighed softly, "Since ancient times, sons and daughters love each other and heroes have shortness of breath, son, don't make big mistakes because of small things. It doesn't matter if you want Zhao Wuyou, first of all, you have to do the master's account well. You can't even save your own life. , What are you talking about love and long-term love?"

"Get out!" Jian Yan walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Behind him, the man smiled lowly, like a night bird in the middle of the night, which made people feel horrified and horrified.

Jian Yan stood outside the camp, fixedly looking in the direction of Zhao Wuyou's camp, with thousands of shackles in his heart, and he didn't know how to untie them.She never cared about what he had said to her, but he could obsess over his whole life.

This is probably the difference between love and not love. If you don't love, whatever you do is wrong.Love, even if wrong is right.

Jian Yan doesn't know whether Zhao Wuyou already has someone he loves in his heart, but he always persistently feels that this childhood obsession will eventually end well.He thought that with his intelligence, he would eventually move her.

One day, he will take her away, leave the capital she doesn't like, stay away from the imperial court she is tired of, and become a woman again, put on daughter's clothes again.At that time, you will be a gifted scholar and beautiful woman, as beautiful as a flower.

This is the most perfect track.

It's a pity that he has calculated thousands of times, and he can't count the insertion of Mu Baili, a dead eunuch.This delusion, after all, is just a delusion and cannot become a reality.

While Wen Gu was serving Zhao Wuyou to take his medicine, Su Xi hurried in, "Master, Jian Yan is back."

"Come back when you come back, don't make a fuss if you're not dead." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly.

Wen Gu put the empty bowl on the table, "That careless brat is really annoying. The last time I scolded him, I guess it wasn't enough. This kid probably has to get into trouble."

Sure enough, there was a noise from outside, saying that Jian Yan was asking to see him.

"If you don't let him see him, I guess you won't be able to scold him this time." Zhao Wuyou knew Jian Yan too well, and he was like a brother and sister for so many years. How could she not know his temper?Just knowing a person's temper doesn't mean you can understand everything he does.

People, there are always times when you look away.

When Jian Yan came in, Wen Gu couldn't see it, and walked out angrily.Su Xi was waiting by the side, she knew about Zhao Wuyou and Jian Yan, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.

After all, Jian Yan is not Mu Baili... There is nothing to hide between him and the young master.

Jian Yan frowned and looked at the bloody bandage on Zhao Wuyou's arm, "You are..."

"Didn't you all see it? It's just a sword strike, I can't die." Zhao Wuyou said lightly, his face was bloodless, even his lips were pale.She spoke very softly, extremely weak and powerless.

Jian Yan pursed her lips, "Does it hurt?"

"Would you like to try it, don't you want to share weal and woe with me?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "How about a sword?"

Jian Yan smiled awkwardly, "Worriless?" He no longer dared to call her Hehuan, and had lost the qualification to hug her, so he could only gradually become unfamiliar with her.

"Just kidding, Lord Jane, don't take it to heart." Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, "I have nothing to do, so don't need to make a fuss. Huang Lan will give us an explanation for the assassination, so you don't have to worry about it."

"This assassin really deserves to die." Jian Yan really wanted to get close to her, but with You Suxi in front, he definitely couldn't get close to Zhao Wuyou, so he could only sit on the side of the table patiently and stare at her. Zhao Wuyou was in a trance.

The current Zhao Wuyou was extremely weak, reminding him of the fun of drinking under the pear tree before falling out with her.But in the future, I'm afraid there will never be such a beauty.

"Whether you should die or not is up to you." Zhao Wuyou said with intention, "The current situation is chaotic, so don't run around. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

"Are you concerned about me?" Jian Yan stiffened.

Zhao Wuyou curled his lips into a cold smile, "Perhaps, it's a warning."

Jian Yan narrowed her eyes, "Wuyou, I..."

"Master Jian has seen it and asked about it, please go back!" Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes weakly, "I'm tired."

"Then you have a good rest!" Jian Yan was rarely able to talk to Zhao Wuyou, and was really reluctant to leave.But she was really tired, and he couldn't bear to look at her. While excited, he felt a pity that such a good opportunity was lost.

He really wanted to be able to hug her, tuck in the quilt for her, and look at her sleeping face like before.But now it's impossible, the distance is getting worse, even if he stretches out his hand, he can't touch her face.

But Hehuan, you will understand me in the future, we will definitely go back to the past, you wait for me!

Su Xi personally sent Jian Yan out, in other words, drove Jian Yan out.

Facing Jian Yan, Su Xi smiled but did not smile, "Master Jian is kind, our young master appreciates it, and I hope that Mr. Jian can remember the young master's instructions, don't run around, so as not to be covered by such a big scapegoat. You, Mrs. Jian, are so weak that you can't carry it."

Jian Yan stared at her with fixed eyebrows, looked back at the closed gate of the tent, and left unwillingly.

Suxi returned to Zhao Wuyou's bed, but Zhao Wuyou narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Go outside and see where the ground near the camp is wet. It rained this morning, and then came out again The sun, wherever the sun reaches, the water stains have already dried up, so..."

"What are you talking about?" Su Xi was puzzled.

"Jian Yan's feet are covered with wet mud, which still looks fresh. If it was stained in the morning, it must have dried up. Since it is wet mud, it must have been stained with it before. He likes to be clean. He came out of the palace. He went out before he could change his shoes when he came back here, which shows that things are in a hurry." Zhao Wuyou thought, "Go and find out, if you're lucky, you might be able to find something."

"Yes!" Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "The humble office will be quiet, trying not to disturb anyone."

It was already dark outside, and after Wen Gu came back, Su Xi left.There must be someone guarding Zhao Wuyou's side, otherwise no one will be at ease.

Huang Lan pursued this matter very closely, and there were rumors about General Barry setting up a plot to assassinate Daye's envoys in order to start a war between the two countries, and the rumors spread rapidly in Huang Lan's country.His words are formidable, and Barry is a military general with high self-esteem. He thinks he deserves great credit and doesn't bother to explain it to others. Therefore, everyone thinks that this matter is probably done by General Barry.

The news that Zhao Wuyou was assassinated in Huanglan and is now seriously injured quickly spread back to Daye territory.

When the news flew into the palace, the entire court was in an uproar, and even the emperor was furious.My envoy of Daye was assassinated near the royal city of Huanglan, and almost died in a foreign country. No matter how you say it, it is a great shame for a country.

It is an international practice for two countries to fight each other without beheading each other. Now Huang Lan has broken this rule. Isn't he against the people of the world and all countries?If a country does not even have the most basic credit, how can it gain a foothold in the world?

The situation in Daye was turbulent, and the three armies gathered on the border of Daye, seeing that the war between the two countries had reached the point of day.No matter if it was the people of Daye or Huanglan, they were all in constant panic, fearing that a tipping point would bring about endless war between the two countries.

So the people in this world who are least willing to go to war are the innocent people.

Once the war breaks out, they will be displaced and have nothing to depend on.

Lu Guoan handed over a small bamboo stick to Suxi, "This is a letter from Shangshufu. If Mr. Zhao has anything to reply, please do so as soon as possible."

Su Xi took it, and quickly returned to Zhao Wuyou's tent, "My lord, there is a letter from Shangshufu."

"The thousand-mile falcon in Dongchang is really excellent." Wen Gu couldn't help feeling emotional, but seeing Zhao Wuyou's wound, he frowned again, the wound was really too deep.

Also because of the deep wound, even Huang Lan's doctor panicked at the sight, and believed that this was not Zhao Wuyou's trick.So now, Huang Lan started to investigate the related affairs of General Barry and rectified the military affairs, pretending that there were spies from other countries mixed in.

Zhao Wuyou knew the truth better than anyone else.

This is just a way for Empress Huanglan to take advantage of this incident to take back the military power!
There are two things that people in the army can't tolerate the most: one is colluding with the enemy and treason, and the other is fleeing in battle.

"Is there any change in the capital?" Suxi asked.

Zhao Wuyou stared at the secret letter in his hand with a gloomy expression, his eyes were clear.
