Traitor

Chapter 242
During that meal, he was restless after eating warmly, stealing glances at Zhao Wuyou's face from time to time.But Zhao Wuyou couldn't see any expression on his face, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with being so indifferent.

Wen Gu thought, maybe he was overthinking, Su Xi probably didn't say anything to Zhao Wuyou.

How could Zhao Wuyou not know this kind of thoughtfulness, silently thinking about the next thing while eating.

So Wen Gu could only find fault with him, "I went with Li Yi, and that Hefeng was unconscious, which shows that the poisoning was not shallow. I gave a heavy dose of medicine at the beginning, so now, I can't solve it. open."

"Then don't untie it!" Zhao Wuyou smiled, "If you go crazy and kill people, even if you recover, you can't lead the army to fight again, so such a person can't be a general of Huanglan, and he can't control the three armies anymore. The final beneficiary is also useless."

Wen Gu nodded, "Suxi did a great job this time."

Zhao Wuyou chuckled, "She was born in Jianghu, not everyone can learn that set of ventriloquism, no one can do this better than her. Of course, it is also thanks to your leather face that you can do so well There are really not many false ones."

"Thank you, Young Master, for your compliment." Wen Gu bowed his head.

Zhao Wuyou put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Eat slowly, I'll go out to digest."

Wen Gu was taken aback, "I'll follow you."

"There are no outsiders in this camp, so you don't have to be so careful." Zhao Wuyou walked out slowly, probably she also knew Wen Gu's cramped situation, so she decided to go out by herself!
The camp at night was very quiet, the fire was burning in the brazier, the patrolling guards were wandering around holding torches, Zhao Wuyou stood with his hands behind his back, and stood outside the camp looking at the wonderful moonlight.

Where is Mangshan located?Would it be dangerous for Mu Baili to go to Mount Mang?If it is so dangerous, should he be allowed to go?

The cold poison in his body has been controlled, even if there is no snow fox, it should be fine, right?At most, he would carry a ticking time bomb for the rest of his life. Anyway, his life was not in danger for the time being.Although I don't know how long it can last, but compared to Mangshan, it should be much safer!
With a light sigh, Zhao Wuyou frowned and closed his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Jian Yan.

Jian Yan was still standing in the shadows, which shocked Zhao Wuyou again. How could this person be so secretive now, standing in the shadows at every turn, it's really frightening.

"I - did I scare you?" Jian Yan stepped forward slowly.

Zhao Wuyou flicked his sleeves, and the shadow guards around him retreated a little.There are some things that cannot be explained to outsiders, and outsiders cannot be taught to think that something really happened between her and Jian Yan, so she still has to give Jian Yan face outside.

Fortunately, in the eyes of everyone, she is a person who does not show emotions or anger.This is also beneficial, those who want to curry favor, really can't figure out her mind, so they dare not move forward in vain.

Breathing out a sigh of relief, Zhao Wuyou said, "If Master Jian has nothing to do, you don't have to stay here, go back to your tent! After Huang Lan finishes handling these internal matters, he can negotiate peace with us again. As long as the peace negotiations are completed, the day to return to Daye will not be too far away."

Jian Yan narrowed his eyes, "I know you are doubting me, and I also understand that I taught you the clue that day in the battle. It's not that I don't want to save you, but I just want to stay with you for a while, I want to be with you Together."

"Is there any point in saying this now?" Zhao Wuyou's face was pale, "Jian Yan, how long have we known each other?"

"I know that the friendship of more than ten years should not give birth to other ideas, it should only be brotherhood, not love between men and women." Jian Yan smiled a little sadly, "But there are some things that are unavoidable in Hehuan. I am happy with you, from the beginning to the present. Do you know that I have made a wish, that I wish to be with you in this life, and I just want to take you out of the court."

"Even if it's going to the end of the world, it's just the two of us. I'll be with you life and death, never leave. Hehuan, do you know how sad it is for me to see you drifting away from me?"

Zhao Wuyou looked at him coolly, still unmoved, "Gone further away? Who is drifting away? Don't you know? I'm always standing here, and it's you who is getting farther and farther away. It's not me. Jian Yan, to this day, you still don't understand where you are wrong, but you are still talking here, saying something with deep affection. "

"If it's really serious, who took my life in the past? Who forced me that day? You only think that you are happy, but have you asked me if I am willing? One person's joy is wishful thinking, and two people's Mutual liking is forever. You don't understand at all, but you are still talking nonsense here."

After saying that, Zhao Wuyou looked bored, as if he didn't want to mess with Jian Yan any more, turned his back and didn't want to take another look at him.

"Hehuan..." Jian Yan paused, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"If you don't do anything, you are the greatest kindness to me." Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "Jian Yan, if you often walk by the river, you will never get your shoes wet, and if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts. "

Jian Yan frowned, staring at Zhao Wuyou's back in horror, but saw Zhao Wuyou walking away slowly, walking towards the bright moonlight, without turning back.

He will always belong to the darkness, but she will soon go to the light, this is probably the biggest difference between them!
Sitting on the open space, Zhao Wuyou took out the bone flute in his sleeve, the bone flute was as white as jade, if he didn't say it was a bone flute, no one would be able to tell.It is rare for her to be as elegant as she is today, the low and hoarse flute sound reveals a little quietness and peace, which is enough to reassure people's hearts and calm the minds of soldiers.

In a foreign country, after going through turmoil, I only feel that the sound of the flute in my hometown is the best.

Jian Yan stood far away, looking at the woman in white clothes under the moonlight, her eyes were as clear as the moon, how could it make people give up?But between her and him, it seems that they really can't go together.

What should I do?

In the pitch-black tent, Mu Baili also heard the sound of her flute. He rarely heard her play the flute. This time it seemed a little different.Is she worried about him?Worried about his going to Mount Mang?

The Mangshan matter had to be dealt with properly before Huang Lan could solve the internal military and political problems, and before Huang Lan could detect it, he had to leave Huang Lan safely after the peace talks.

It's a daunting task, and if you're not careful, you can lose everything.

And the crux of the problem is that if this matter is brought to light, the emperor of Daye will never admit that he covets Huanglan's treasure, so all the crimes will only fall on Mu Baili.The name of starting the war between the two countries will be infamous for thousands of years, and the fine writing of history books in Japan will be condemned by future generations.

Putting down the bone flute, Zhao Wuyou sighed lightly, but he didn't dare to turn his head to look in the direction of his tent.

In the tent, he was also thinking of her, how moved he was when he heard the accent.But he can't go out, and he can't make love in front of others.After all, what lies between them is not only the Chu River and Han Realm.

Wen Gu took the shawl and put it on Zhao Wuyou's body, "It's very cold at night, don't be greedy for the cold. You are not in good health, and you still have injuries, so don't be careless!"

"My father never felt that my body was so important." Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "The reason why I have to live is because I have what he wants in my body, but because I still have the ability to use it. Value. Wen Gu, are all fathers so cruel? Is it because you have never been pregnant in October that you can be so ruthless?"

"No." Wen Gu was categorical, "Fathers in the world are not the same. Your father is just an example. His cruelty does not mean that all fathers are like this. A mother's love is boundless, and a father's love is like a mountain."

Zhao Wuyou looked back at him, "You should be a good father."

After speaking, she turned and went back to the tent.

Wen Gu froze in place, unable to recover.

OK—Father?
He bowed his head and smiled, he wanted to be a good father, he must be a good father.

Because several generals were killed in Huanglan Kingdom in the past few days, the peace talks were delayed, and Mu Baili simply stayed behind closed doors, ignoring the ups and downs outside.His Dongchang was originally so arrogant and willful, so he wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Zhao Wuyou seemed to be much more busy, he just came back yesterday, and today he has to enter the palace again, it seems that it was because of the fire in Yizhuang last night.There are many corpses in the Yizhuang, including the slaves of the Yanxin family who were kicked to death by Hu Lei, and the family members of the Hu Lei family who were killed by He Feng.

Now these people have become coke, that is to say, the matter should come to an end here.The damned are all dead, the so-called death has no proof, and now there are no bones left, so what can I use to investigate, what can I use to retract the confession?

Ada Khan went to the army with Chiduo, and now he is going to take over all the military and political power, so now there are only Queen Ye Jiner and Li Yi in the palace.Zhao Wuyou still had a gentle face, and followed Ye Jin'er silently, walking side by side with Li Yi.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhao's great help this time, I was able to gradually restore peace to the barren land. Mr. Zhao has contributed a lot." Ye Jin'er smiled lightly, "I thought it was going to change hands, but it turns out that killing is the way to stop killing." It can also work well.”

"Congratulations to the empress, in a few days, you will be able to sleep peacefully." Zhao Wuyou leaned over and bowed.

Ye Jin'er looked back at her, then walked into the hall.

Inside and outside the place are all the confidantes of Empress Huanglan, Zhao Wuyou took a look around and knew the general situation.Empress Huanglan has gradually taken control of all the initiative, and is only waiting for the final action to close the net.

Sighing in my heart, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of dust, one emperor and one courtier.

The emperor did not change, but the courtiers.

Ada Khan can finally take full control of the government, which means that it won't be long before the imperial power can finally be supreme.Zhao Wuyou didn't know what would happen in the future, he had to deal with the matter before him.It is impossible to put all the future things in front of you and think about it. After all, everything in the world is a plan that cannot keep up with changes.

Sitting upright at the table, Zhao Wuyou still had that calm and breezy appearance, such calm and indifferent, giving people a feeling of alienation, which made Ye Jin'er hesitate, not knowing what to say.

It was Li Yi who said, "I heard that Mr. Zhao is already married?"

"It seems that Mr. Li has checked me." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "There is nothing to hide, Zhao has a wife at home, and his wife is well educated, very good."

"Master Zhao is so blissful, it can be seen that Mrs. Zhao is a beauty." Li Yi smiled.

Zhao Wuyou thought for a while, "I have been in the court for many years, what kind of beauties have I never seen? The so-called beauty is just a skin! After a hundred years, it will be just a pink skeleton."

Li Yi nodded, "What Mr. Zhao said is very true."

"Master Zhao is so smart, he can do everything in an orderly manner, it's really admirable." Ye Jin'er laughed, "I was thinking how to thank Master Zhao, can I help Master Zhao get a few concubines... ..."

Ye Jin'er didn't finish her sentence, this meaningful pause was naturally to explore Zhao Wuyou's meaning.

Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "Wuyou's health is not good, I'm afraid I won't be blessed to accept the beauty's grace. This family has a good wife, one is enough. Besides, the Zhao family has a family rule not to take concubines, which refuted the kindness of the queen and empress. , I also hope that the empress will forgive me."

Ye Jin'er nodded, "It's rare that Mr. Zhao is an upright person. Naturally, I won't force others. It's just that I don't know how to thank Mr. Zhao for a while, which makes me a little embarrassed."

"If the empress really wants to thank me, please return that ring to me, Mrs. Li." Zhao Wuyou smiled gently, "The slave has been burnt to wipe out all traces, this ring that has been quenched with poison, you keep it It's useless, so return it to Dr. Wen!"

Li Yi's complexion tightened slightly, then he stared at Zhao Wuyou with frowning eyes, and smiled a little forcedly, "This ring is indeed a good thing."

"It's a good thing, that's why I'm reluctant to give it to people." Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "Lord Li won't take a liking to my stuff, will he? The wasteland is rich in land and resources, so I don't think he will be greedy for Doctor Wen's stuff, is it?" Bar?"

Li Yi looked at Ye Jin'er, and Ye Jin'er smiled and said, "Then it will be returned to the original owner, and it will be returned to Zhao."

After the sound fell, Li Yi took out the extremely simple ring from his sleeve. The ring had a hidden buckle, and a poisonous needle was hidden in it.

That day that Su Lei kicked, although the strength was great, it was not enough to kill the slave on the spot.It was Li Yi who stepped forward quickly, seemingly sniffing, but actually gave the final fatal blow.

Playing with the ring in his hand, Zhao Wuyou smiled gently, "I will hand it over to Doctor Wen, this thing must not be lost, otherwise it will be a trouble if it falls into the hands of others."

Ye Jin'er didn't say a word, but just looked at Zhao Wuyou, who seemed calm but actually cautious.After a long time, Ye Jin'er said, "Lord Zhao is really careful."

"Yes, I have a small heart, so I don't have much courage and can't do big things. As for me, I like to care about trivial things." Zhao Wuyou smiled self-deprecatingly, "I made the empress and Master Li laugh. "

She took the ring, some things will become a kind of criminal evidence in the future, so it's better to take it back.Now that they are still in a cooperative relationship, they can take it back blatantly. If these Huanglan people play tricks in the future, it will be impossible for her to get it back.

"Master Zhao was just joking, if you don't have the courage to do big things, then we're all about trivial matters." Li Yi smiled bluntly, this Zhao Wuyou is too cunning, really can't understand her, Can't hold her.

Zhao Wuyou nodded, raised his hands in a bow, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your ridiculous praise."

"Now that the matter is almost settled, I don't know what Master Zhao's plan is?" Ye Jin'er asked tentatively.

Zhao Wuyou frowned, "plan? Since the matter has been dealt with almost, let's wait for Lord Qiantui to come to discuss peace with you!" She coughed lightly, "I've been extremely tired these days, so I won't do it again Take care of the peace talks. Let’s wait and see when the king has dealt with the rebels and when he will hold a peace meeting!"

Ye Jin'er narrowed her eyes, "Master Zhao really does not participate in the peace negotiation?"

"As I said, I only care about the agreement signed by the king and queen, and I don't care about other contents." Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "Of course, this thing is not actually on me. I asked someone to send it back. It's probably in my father's hands right now."

Ye Jin'er raised her eyes in amazement, "What?"

"The empress wanted to take back the things, so when I came in, I replaced everyone around me with my own personal guards, do you think I don't know?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, "Is the empress I feel that I, Zhao Wuyou, am a very defensive person, so I will definitely carry such important things with me, and I will not give them to anyone easily, so do you want to keep me for a body search?"

Ye Jin'er was silent.

"That agreement bears the golden seal of the queen and the king. If you tear up the agreement unilaterally, the neighboring countries in the four directions will no longer trust you, and they may be attacked by groups." Zhao Wuyou stood up slowly, his eyes still warm Ruyu smiled lightly, "I have done a lot of things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, so I don't blame you for being too slow in this matter, but I blame myself for being too experienced."

"If you let the people around you give away things without compromising, it's too late for the empress to tear down the bridge. I'm really guilty of letting the empress down by accident. Empress, please forgive me!"

She leaned over and bowed with the utmost respect, so that no one could find fault or blame her.

Ye Jin'er and Li Yi looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling embarrassed after being seen through by others, and they really couldn't get off the stage.

Zhao Wuyou didn't save face this time, you are all planning to do something to her, she can still save face for you, it's really too good to think.She didn't skin and tear you apart, that's because you are in Huanglan, if you were left in Daye, you would have been overwhelmed and walked away.

With a few chuckles, Zhao Wuyou straightened up, "Is there any other business between the empress and the prime minister? If not, then Zhao Wuyou will leave here!" She said, leaning over to salute.

"Lord Zhao!" Ye Jin'er stood up, "I hope that I, Huang Lan, and you, Daye, will never fight each other."

Zhao Wuyou raised his eyelids, and smiled as before, "I also said that, I only wish the world is peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing. I have the same thoughts as your empress. No one wants to fight. This thing that hurts others and does not benefit oneself, or It is better to be cautious. But I have another sentence, if people offend me, cut the grass and root out."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wuyou turned around and left unhurriedly.

Ye Jin'er and Li Yi stood at the gate of the hall, looking at Zhao Wuyou who was slowly walking out of the gate, feeling an inexplicable sense of helplessness and frustration.

"Mother, let him go like this?" Li Yi frowned, "What about the agreement?"

"At Zhao Wuyou's place, what you say is just water that is thrown out, and you can't take it back." Ye Jin'er sighed softly, "He's doing everything right, you and I together are no match for him, what else can I do? What? Could it be that he was going to be arrested, threatened with death, and asked Zhao Wuyou to hand over the things? But you didn't hear, he said that the things had already arrived in Daye."

Li Yi said, "During this period of domestic turmoil in Huanglan, it is not so easy to send things out. Then Hulei and others, I think they have made preparations, and this agreement should still be in Zhao Wuyou's hands."

Ye Jin'er shook his head, "You think things are too simple. Although you can't believe what Zhao Wuyou said, you can't believe it. Didn't you find that there is one person missing by Zhao Wuyou's side? He said to send things to If he went out, it means that he has already thought that we will cross the river and tear down the bridge. Since he has thought of this level, do you think he will be unprepared? So we have lost a long time ago. From the moment we put the golden seal, we will It is under Zhao Wuyou's control."

"We went to the doctor in a hurry, and had to follow her arrangement to stop killing by killing, which hurt my own foundation, and also hurt the vitality of Huang Lan's army. Now we unilaterally tear up the agreement, and it will only make things go smoothly. Worse. Let Huanglan fall into a situation that is more terrifying than turmoil, and it will not be so simple to be subdued at that time."

With a light sigh, Zhao Wuyou said it all himself, and his mind is very small, so every penny is counted.

This is a warning!

Li Yi frowned, and then remembered the woman beside Zhao Wuyou, who had indeed not seen him for a long time.Feeling suffocated, this woman has disappeared for a long time, could it be that from the very beginning, while dealing with Hu Lei and the others, Zhao Wuyou was already on guard against himself and the queen?
How could he have forgotten that Zhao Wuyou has a cold personality and no one would believe him?

He sighed helplessly, as if everything was a step too late.

When Zhao Wuyou walked out of the palace, Wen Gu breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay? These people don't allow me to go in. I really have a different heart and have to guard against it."

"It's okay." Zhao Wuyou frowned, looking at the scorching sun above his head.

"These people are totally unreliable." Wen Gu snickered.

Zhao Wuyou smiled, "We are the enemy in the first place, how could we be lucky? The so-called reliability is only revealed to you when they need us. Once they no longer need us, the only thing left is to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Some people say that I am an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, but I didn't expect that there are many white-eyed wolves in Huanglan Country, which is really rare."

Wen Gu said, "There is news from the medical center."

Zhao Wuyou was taken aback, "You mean..."

Wen Gu nodded, but didn't dare to say it clearly. After all, the walls have ears, and they must always guard against these Huanglan people.Although Yan Xin and others were killed by Zhao Wuyou's design, Barry was not Zhao Wuyou's hands, so the murderer who planned to put the blame on Zhao Wuyou was still there.

The reason why he didn't make a shot was probably because he was injured too badly.

Su Xi's sword was ruthless, and it hasn't been a year or so since she couldn't hold the sword at all.

The carriage drove slowly, Zhao Wuyou opened the curtains and watched the crowds in Huanglan King City.After the accidents of the four great generals, the atmosphere in the royal city seemed a little weird, and the faces of the common people showed an unconcealable look of fear.

Although He Feng has been caught now, but this case is not closed for a day, people's hearts will hang high, and they dare not let it go.

On the way, Zhao Wuyou got out of the car and disappeared into the corner of Wangcheng together with Wen Gu. Those Huanglan soldiers who were in charge of watching Zhao Wuyou were no match for Wen Gu.Wen Gu's kicking skills were excellent, and he led Zhao Wuyou to get rid of these disgusting tails in two or three strokes.

Wearing a light gauze hat and white clothes like snow, who knows if this is from Huanglan or Daye, at least Wen Gu is wearing a leather mask and looks like an authentic Huanglan.

Sitting in the restaurant, Zhao Wuyou lifted off the veiled bamboo hat, and opened a gap in the window facing the street. Not far away was a Zhuangzi, the door was closed all the time, and no one came in or out.

"Is that right there?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Wen Gu nodded, "That's right, he was very careful. He didn't live in a restaurant or inn, but found a Zhuangzi to board him. Even the medicine for wound healing was divided into several pharmacies for him to catch separately. That's why Huang Lan's people couldn't get it." Found his existence. But those prescriptions are a bit strange, I guessed that there must be fraud in them after a second glance, this is not... I finally caught it. "

Zhao Wuyou narrowed his dangerous eyes, "I didn't expect to stay under our noses, and let us look for it for so long. By the way, didn't you find anyone contacting him?"

"Not yet." Wen Gu said, "He probably was seriously injured, so he stayed here after killing Barry. The specific situation in this village is still unclear and needs to be verified."

Zhao Wuyou glanced at him, "I want to see if they will contact again. As long as there is one time, I..." She paused, as if she had made up her mind, "I will never let you go lightly."

"If you don't want to do it, I'll do it." Wen Gu knew what she was hesitating about.

She smiled, "Why do you think I'm such a soft-hearted person? Before I met you, I had no life left." But there was no smile in her eyes, only cold death, "At that time, I was The most terrifying existence."

Wen Gu was stunned, "It's all over."

"People from Huanglan will definitely come to look for me when they find out that I haven't returned to the camp." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "I'm just sitting here, you go around outside and lure people here! It's time to startle the snake and provoke people. Pay attention."

Wen Gu frowned, "Are you not afraid that he will run away?"

"He hasn't finished his work, how can he run away?" Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, "Killing Barry was to destroy the peace. Now that the chaos is gradually subsiding and the peace is about to continue, how dare he run back now?" Going to Daye? Going back now, how do you return to life? It’s not a joke to come to Huanglan with such an important task, or you will lose your head.”

Wen Gu nodded, "I'll go right away, take care of yourself, I'll be right next to you."

"Okay!" Zhao Wuyou nodded, "I want to eat sand dates."

He was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses on the spot.

"When I came up, I saw dried dates at the bottom. Bring me some." She smiled slightly, not as if she was joking, "I know there are no fresh ones now, but the dried ones are fine."

"Okay!" Wen Gu replied after a while, then turned and walked outside.

Zhao Wuyou was sitting by the window. The reason why she wanted to disappear in front of Huang Lan's people was to lure Huang Lan's soldiers over to make things worse.But she didn't want people from Zhuangzi to appear in front of Huang Lan's people, otherwise the peace talks would end without a problem, and Huang Lan would catch Daye's handle.

What she has to deal with is Daye's superior man.
