"I'm telling you, stop dreaming. Even if you reveal your heart, Yun Xuchen will just frown and look disgusted."
The man's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing Shuiniang's heart, which was hurt by Yun Xuchen.
She did more for Yun Xuchen than just this...
His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and his whole body was shaking slightly with anger.
The man was afraid that Shui Niang would suddenly change her mind and become soft-hearted because of Yun Xuchen, and that she would be indecisive at the critical moment and miss out on important things, so he deliberately angered her.
Looking at Shuiniang's current state, it was obvious that he had achieved his goal.
Turning around, Shuiniang looked at the man hatefully with her bloodshot eyes due to suppressed anger, chewing every word he said, as if she was chewing the man bit by bit between her teeth.
"Now that I'm here, only Liang Meng and I can get out of this dream. If you continue to test me with nonsense, I promise that I will kill you before that."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the man smiled nonchalantly, and his already high cheekbones became even more prominent, and his cheeks became very sunken.
"Come and have some tea."
As he spoke, he stood up from his chair, bent over, and filled the teacup opposite him with water.
Looking at that extremely disgusted face, the word "get out" rolled in his throat a hundred times before he finally swallowed it.
Never mind. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. He's still useful to me, so there's no need to make things too awkward.
With her eyes slightly lowered and a deep breath taken out, Shui Niang walked to sit opposite the man, but she didn't even look at the water he poured.
"How's the situation in the Tomb City going?"
"It's done."
"What do you mean it's done?" Shuiniang raised her eyebrow slightly, glanced at the man with disdain, snorted coldly and continued.
"Are there any conflicts between Tomb City and Cliff City?"
The man chuckled, his harsh voice full of confidence.
"The sister of the Lord of Yacheng City suffered such a serious incident in Tomb City. Even if the two cities had been close before, if Tomb City can't give Yacheng an explanation this time, it will definitely cause them to harbor resentment. Moreover, before this, the guards of Yacheng had already murdered the generals of Tomb City."
After saying that, the man laughed confidently a few times.
Last time, the general of Tomb City was killed, he was holding the Yacheng guard's badge tightly in his hand. This time, the sister of the Yacheng lord had caused such a big incident in Tomb City again.
All of this was done by the left protector.
The reason, of course, is to arouse mutual suspicion and resentment between the two cities, thus cutting off contacts and, ideally, making them irreconcilable.
In the end, he can reap the benefits.
This calculation is very clever!
"Nothing went wrong, did it?"
No matter how confident the man sounded, Shui Niang still doubted his intelligence. The corners of her eyes raised slightly, revealing a hint of disdain and suspicion.
The man straightened his back unconsciously, and the dull pain in his waist and abdomen reminded him of the embarrassment of how he was almost caught.
But this matter must not be let the woman in front of me know.
The slight hesitation in his expression disappeared in an instant, and conceited words came out of his dark purple lips.
"I used the bone-shrinking technique. Even if they saw my appearance, they would never be able to tell who I am."
"I hope so."
Shui Niang snorted coldly, showing no interest in his bragging.
He stood up and ordered the man to leave again.
"Okay, now you can go away."
The man made a hoarse sound in his throat, stood up, looked at the dark night outside, picked up the hat on the table and put it on.
After stepping out of the door, he seemed to have just remembered something and turned around, a hint of curiosity on his face. His gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.
"I'm curious about what you'll do with Liang Meng. Will you let her be buried under the sand along with the Tomb City, or..."
"Is there something you haven't heard?"
Shuiniang looked at the man with a cold gaze.
"What?"
"The more you know, the faster you die!"
.......
Because Yue'er's body was not suitable for moving back and forth, she stayed in Yacheng. Zhuolin could only stay in Tomb City.
These past few days, Zhuomu came once. Seeing Yue'er lying on the bed without a sound, he jumped up in anxiety for a moment.
Tears of worry and heartache suddenly welled up in her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs and stuttered.
He kept asking, "What should I do?" and "When will the moon be back?"
Since Yacheng couldn't be left unguarded, Zhuomu's presence here was useless except for his anxiety. Not only Zhuomu, but everyone else was now helpless against Yue'er.
So the next day Zhuomu was sent back by Zhuolin.
He also solemnly told him that he would definitely find a way to cure Yue'er and asked him not to leave Yacheng and come here again.
Although Zhuo Mu was worried, he didn't dare to disobey his eldest brother's order. With tears in his eyes, he walked away, looking back every few steps.
On the way back, I met Liang Meng.
Zhuomu was not clear about the whole story of Yue'er's injury, so he did not have the same hostility towards Liang Meng as his elder brother.
"What are you doing here?"
At that time, Liang Meng was sitting under a tree on the roadside between Yacheng and Mucheng to enjoy the cool air.
He was fanning himself vigorously with his hat in one hand, and most of his gray clothes were soaked with sweat.
Seeing that Zhuomu looked wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant, and that he was coming from the direction of the tomb city, I knew what was wrong with him.
Without getting up, she glanced up at him and then quickly lowered her head again. The sun above was simply too glaring.
She had been walking for most of the day and was tired, thirsty and hot. She didn't want to say a word, but Zhuomu kept asking her questions.
"Are you deaf or dumb? I'm asking you a question."
Don't be fooled by Zhuomu's appearance of a handsome and elegant young man, he behaves like a child.
Seeing that Liang Meng just lowered his head and fanned himself with his hat, ignoring him, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He looked down at Liang Meng and kicked him with his toes.
The tone was just like that of a child who was making a fuss because he didn't get the candy he asked for.
Yue'er was injured and her life or death was uncertain. He wanted to stay there with her, but not only was he scolded by his eldest brother, he was also not allowed to visit Yue'er again.
I met an acquaintance under this tree and talked to her, but she ignored me.
Liang Meng moved aside, too lazy to argue with him. Through her dry throat, she uttered a word to dismiss him.
"Play."
"Play? Play what?"
This elder brother actually thought that Liang Meng was studying something on the yellow soil with his head down, so he also squatted down, his eyes turning around curiously.
He found nothing except dry yellow earth.
"You want to know again?"
Liang Meng raised her head and suddenly smiled warmly. Zhuo Mu nodded excitedly.
For a moment, Liang Meng felt like she was bullying a child.
"Come."
Just like that day, Liang Meng hooked his finger at Zhuomu, but Zhuomu didn't learn his lesson and leaned his head over obediently.
"I'll take out the heart of anyone passing by whose complexion is rosy. You know, a rosy-cheeked person has a healthy heart, and it tastes good when eaten."
“You…you…”
Zhuomu suddenly stood up, his cheeks twitching slightly, and he pointed at Liang Meng with trembling fingers, "You've been talking for a long time but you still can't figure out what's going on."
"I...I...I what I."
Liang Meng raised her head and imitated his speech. Suddenly, she pointed at him with a look of surprise.
