"Okay, I'll just accompany you." Yula hugged him in her arms and said softly like coaxing a child.

"Stay overnight?"

"Well, stay overnight."

After receiving an affirmative answer, he stopped talking. It seemed that it was the first time he was held in Yula's arms. It didn't feel bad, and he wasn't embarrassed by it. On the contrary, it made people feel at ease, and at the same time, his breathing was somewhat blocked;

If he can’t figure it out, he simply doesn’t want to, but the only thing he can be sure of is that this is the time that only the two of them spent together, the glow of the moon flowing through the curtain of the night, such a picture came to mind, he let out a long breath, satisfied And greedily enjoy the tranquility of the night.

……

"Didn't you tell me to stay with you? Why did you fall asleep first?"

After an unknown amount of time, Yura poked his face amusedly.

Gu Bai reacted for a while, he was the only one who poked her, but today it was the other way around.

"Then I won't sleep." He turned his face and bit Yula's finger, saying this, but he didn't intend to open his eyes.

And the other hand moved to his face and poked it, which was obviously a situation where one mouth was not enough.

"You sincerely don't want me to sleep, do you..." Gu Bai muttered.

"You said you would accompany me."

"It's you who accompany me."

"Isn't that considered companionship?"

"Forget it, it's too much." Speaking of this, Gu Bai felt his nose was pinched again.

"Don't move."

"This is said as if it has nothing to do with me."

"I just want to bully you."

Before he could speak, Yura added in a dignified manner, "Don't ask, that's the secret to being happy."

Gu Bai smiled when he heard this, but in fact he was just complaining, but he was thinking about what to say to her, "Forget it, don't sleep anymore." He put on a helpless tone, and grabbed Yula's arms. He didn't let her move, "I'm really afraid of you."

"Bite me." Yura's fingers brushed his lips.

"I won't bite anymore." He shook his head, pulling himself together, "Actually, when I asked you just now, I almost couldn't fall asleep."

"what happened?"

"It should be said that I was a little surprised? I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I said a few words in a daze. I almost couldn't remember what I said, and then you agreed."

He thought for a while, "Still, this is also one of the things you figured out. To be honest, I'm getting more and more curious about what you figured out."

"Even if you don't bring it up, I will stay with you." Yura just said softly.

"This is even more surprising. I didn't expect it to come out of your mouth." Gu Bai smiled, "Then why did you tell me that you were leaving just now, when you were about to fall asleep...Are you scaring people?"

The smile on his face slowly faded as he spoke.

"It's still just trying to show off, but to be honest, it was very successful, and I was taken aback." Gu Bai said to himself, "I'm just kidding, right, what do you mean you are leaving..." He asked softly In one sentence, he turned to look at Yula, with a somewhat complicated tone.

What awaited him, however, was a shake of the head, albeit a small one.

"It's not contradictory." Yula grabbed his hand and pressed it against her face, "I won't go anywhere tonight, but... I'm leaving too, I want to go home."

--go home.

This word sounds a little strange, especially to her, so that Gu Bai was stunned when he heard it, and then slowly asked, "Go home, is that what I understand?"

"Ah."

Yura lowered her gaze.

"I..." She hesitated to speak, and finally fell silent, but the meaning was self-evident.

Lawrence, the family that exists in her surname, was prominent thousands of years ago, but it has become increasingly depraved because of this, and committed unforgettable crimes in this city.

All kinds of words to describe it will not be associated with any good: descendants of sinners, filthy blood, fallen nobles... Similarly, it is also her home.

"why?"

After a brief silence, Gu Bai suddenly asked.

"Because Lawrence..." She organized her words.

"I didn't ask you this." Gu Bai interrupted, "I mean, isn't it just a trip home, if there is any trouble, I will go with you, why are you talking so scary."

Having said that, he breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured with some resentment:

"Really, I was almost scared to death by your panting. It's not something shameful. I'm leaving... So it meant that I was leaving. I thought something happened..."

"Then what do you think..." Yula whispered, an inexplicable warm current rose in her heart, and she buried her face to hide it.

"Let's separate, I'm terminally ill, and I have something to do, so I'm going to be away for a while, but I won't tell you the reason... Your sentence is usually used in the opening remarks of these three situations."

"It's not so exaggerated." She laughed when she heard the words, the anxiety in her heart eased a lot, and she solemnly assured, "I won't tell you this, never will."

"I don't care if it's possible or not, think about it, at least you have notified me in advance, instead of waking up and finding that you are gone... Seriously, how can there be such a stupid person." The more he spoke, the more angry he tore Yura's face into various shapes.

"I'm not that stupid..." Miss Sinner protested.

"You are almost there." Gu Bai let go of his hand, and said seriously, "What you said just now is a joke, but I have to emphasize one thing again. I am not from Mond. I can't count it on me, so I really don't care much about your family's past, not to mention that even if the bad pus has nothing to do with you, the family doesn't have many bad relatives, right?"

After Yura nodded, he continued:

"I also understand what you think. Maybe I don't want to mention the three words Lawrence, and I don't know how to speak about them, but in the end, this kind of thinking is applicable to others, but you and I, If it wasn't for my self-indulgent sentimentality, it should be quite special."

"It's not a comparison, it's the most..." she corrected.

"That should be even more so, just like you asked me just now, will you squeeze your shoulders in the future, since the days ahead are still very long, then what is this trivial matter, in Liyue's words, the big deal is that I will tell you... Forget it, don't talk about it."

He forgot whether this was called returning to his in-laws’ house or his mother’s house, and neither seemed suitable, so he pretended not to say:

"Now tell me frankly what's wrong?"

When the Songs Sound: Chapter 236 Trouble with the Lawrence Family

Hearing this, Yura first sighed.

"Is it troublesome? Let's talk slowly."

This time, he really didn't feel sleepy at all. Seeing this, Gu Bai got off the bed and turned on the headlights in the room. After a while, the two sat on the sofa facing each other with a glass of water in their hands.

I wanted to hold her and lie down for a while...

Hard-won time together.

He also sighed inwardly.

What I said to comfort Yula just now is not a lie, but that I really don’t feel bad for the Lawrence family. Firstly, compared to the crimes that have been mentioned repeatedly, they don’t appear in too much space;

Secondly, if I remember correctly, the only clan member who has ever appeared in the field and secretly colluded with the Fools, that is, a certain uncle of Yula, is not clever in terms of planning or means of doing things:

First, he was scouted by the Knights, and then he was infiltrated by Ying, who had learned a few words of aristocratic language. Finally, he was arrested and brought to justice by Yula who arrived in time.

So much so that he treated each other with a non-aggressive attitude——

No matter how much you are hated by the Mond people, and what conspiracy you are planning behind your back, he doesn't care and doesn't bother to care, as long as you don't disturb his and Yula's life.

Although he didn't discuss it seriously, but according to his observation, Yura's attitude is probably the same.After all, this is also her relatives, even if they have suffered a lot of grievances and tortures, do they really want to go back and take revenge one by one?

That's not necessarily the case, because it's nothing more than tearing apart a wound that's almost healed.

And she didn't express her position clearly, so it was even more difficult for him to make a statement.Otherwise, it will be untenable from the starting point, and in the end it is not known who will be hurt the most.

Therefore, a series of things about the Lawrence family is an incalculable mess. Perhaps the best way for those injuries that have been suffered in the past is to gradually submerge them in the long river of time.

That's why both he and Yura tacitly kept silent about it.

And like now, it is the first time to sit down in a relatively formal form and chat about this ancient noble who has declined.

As a result, his inner view changed, from indifference to an existence that disturbed people's dreams.

The logic could be simpler. For him, whoever made Yura unhappy, the other party should also be prepared to be unhappy.

Thinking of the possibility of going to the family land of the Lawrence family in the near future, Gu Bai felt inexplicably lifted up.

And Yura put down the water glass helplessly, the crisp sound of the bottom of the glass touching the table brought him back to his senses:

"I'm not so excited, can you listen to me first?"

He nodded to show that he listened carefully. Although there is very little useful information, it is not difficult to make a rough judgment based on the current situation:

"Is it related to this dragon disaster?" Gu Bai thought for a while and asked.

"Well. Do you still remember when you first came to Mond, it happened to be at the time when the first dragon disaster occurred." Yula looked out of the window as she said, where the Goethe Hotel used to be located as far as she could see .

The reason why I say once is because it has been razed to the ground now, and the disappearance of the hotel is obviously inseparable from one thing.

"I was still on a mission at the time, so I didn't know much about the things in the city, but I also knew that the situation at that time was so bad that the two biggest factors, apart from the intrusion of the wind dragon, were the fools working in secret."

"And what they are plotting is not an attempt to meddle in Mond's internal affairs as the outside world speculates."

"Whether it's protection or support, it's not just a cover on the surface, what these fools really covet is actually the power of the Fengshen's family."

Gu Bai nodded first, and then asked curiously, "There is nothing in the front, but the last part is about the real purpose of the fools. I thought you didn't know."

Although in his eyes, the information already known from the plot is nothing, but for Yula who has been away all year round, it is not very unusual to be able to understand this.

"Qin and I have been exchanging letters." Just a simple explanation, Yura didn't dwell on this topic, "And it seems that you know it too, so let's continue."

I mentioned it again to draw out the following words. Since the two of them already knew about it, there is no need to repeat the details. She sorted out her thoughts and got to the point:

"And this purpose, when implemented in specific means, is to conduct an experiment by killing the wind dragon. Of course, this is just speculation, and there is no definite evidence yet."

"When I was in the wild, I found many of their experimental bases. What's more, during the Dragon Disaster, the Fools suggested many times that they should replace the Knights and take over the affairs of the city defense."

Gu Bai took the words, "But not everyone has the means to confuse the mind like the Church of the Abyss. Combining all the circumstances, since the living ones cannot be controlled, the only way left is to kill them."

"That's right." Yula agreed, "So I think their final solution is to use the power of the Knights to kill the wind dragon, and then study something from its corpse, although I don't know what it is for, But that is suspicious enough in itself."

She added:

"As I said just now, to urge the Knights to conquer Fenglong, on the one hand, it is to exert diplomatic pressure, and on the other hand, it is to arouse the panic and anger of the citizens, and force the Knights to submit through public opinion. "

"So during that period of time, it can be said that rumors abounded and people panicked. Many gossips that people talked about, or the inside story that the Knights would not make public, were actually fake information released by fools in secret. Inflame people's emotions and spread anxiety and suspicion throughout the city."

"And that happened to be the period when the Grand Leader led the expedition and the manpower was the most scarce. Starting from these two aspects, it was indeed difficult for the Knights to deal with it. Fortunately, the difficult situation did not last long, and you know what happened next. , with the accidental explosion at the Goethe Hotel, the turmoil caused by the first dragon disaster has come to an end."

Looking back at Yula's words, Gu Bai's expression gradually sank. At first he heard that he had nothing to do with the Lawrence family, but after thinking about it carefully, he combined with what the descendants of this group of nobles have been plotting all along...

He thought for a moment, and then looked at Yula with a surprised look:

"How dare they?"

Seeing that she didn't need to explain herself, Yula sneered: "Yes, I also want to ask, how dare they!"

"But that's not even the most exaggerated."

She tried hard to control her emotions, and took a deep breath:

"Do you think that they took the opportunity to cause chaos because the second dragon disaster aroused their thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they wanted to learn from the fools and obtain the power to restore their rule from the wind dragon?"

When he nodded, Yula couldn't hold back anymore, raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "If this is the case, I'd give them a higher look, but in reality?"

She put the water glass heavily on the table:

"In fact, only the first half of the sentence is true. A group of people saw that the city was severely damaged this time, and thought they had an opportunity to drive the Knights out of Mond. However, the so-called plan ends there."

"Ambitious, incompetent, and unable to recognize the situation, to regain the glory of the past? To restore the rule of the nobles? How dare they!"

Gu Bai sat beside her, patted her hand, Yula closed her eyes, took a few breaths, and continued:

"In the afternoon, Amber and I helped carry supplies. We saw a cousin distributing food. He took the lead, and a group of people were arguing around him."

"I leaned over and listened to a few words. I was probably reprimanding the knights for their lack of ability, and the acting leader was even more unreliable. That's why there were so many casualties. It can be called the biggest injury in hundreds of years. Even the last crisis It was all resolved by someone other than the Knights."

"If these contents are still open to question, then the remaining words can be said to be ridiculous. Do you know what he is promoting?"

"It has been discussed for a long time since the disappearance of Fengshen to the coming of the dragon disaster. The conclusion is that the power of Fengshen no longer favors this city. Mond's fate is about to come to an end, and the end is coming."

Having said that, Yura laughed back angrily:

"If it were another person, I might think that he was a victim of this disaster. It's okay to say these words because of dissatisfaction, or he is too pessimistic about the future life. But who are they? The entire Lawrence family The land is outside the city, but there is no loss at all!"

"I don't know what they are thinking. I have heard those words countless times since I was young, and it didn't take long for him to reveal his identity. If Amber hadn't rushed over, he would be afraid when there were more people. I can’t go even if I want to.”

Gu Bai listened silently at the side, his expression became a little weird.
