That night Xiao Chenyan seemed to be crazy.
Qing Wu seems to be "sick".
She allowed him to kiss her wantonly, letting the desire in her heart grow wildly. Even though she had refused to admit it in the past, at this moment, the reaction of her heart and body had become a fact.
She longed for him just as much.
But this answer, this conclusion, is so pathetic!
In the end, she actually lay on him pretending to be dead, and fell asleep listening to his heartbeat, and Xiao Chenyan did not do anything more inappropriate.
The night was long, and outside Prince Yan's mansion, there was a figure standing.
The man stood at the end of the alley, looking at the invisible barrier above Prince Yan's Mansion, and slowly took off the Nuo mask on his face.
The face under the mask had deep and handsome features, and there was a small brown mole on the tip of the nose.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. The man put the mask on his face again and his figure blended into the darkness.
After the carriage passed, the man's figure reappeared, looking in the direction the carriage had left.
In the carriage, Xie Shu lowered the curtain and asked the driver, "Why did we pass by Prince Yan's Mansion?"
The driver said, "My young master, the slabs on the road from the Imperial City to our palace are broken, and the government office has not been repaired yet. We have to take a detour these days."
After hearing this, Xie Shu said nothing more.
After the carriage had traveled a distance, it suddenly stopped. There was no sound outside. Xie Shu realized something was wrong and asked outside, "What happened?"
Still no one responded.
Xie Shu's eyes sank slightly, and he quickly took out a dagger from under the cushion in the car, held it in his hand and hid it in his sleeve, then turned sideways and opened the front curtain.
The moment the curtain was opened, the driver leaned back and fell in. Xie Shu blocked himself with a dagger and looked around, but saw no one.
He remained alert and without raising his head, he pressed his fingers on the driver's wrist to make sure he still had a pulse.
The road was dead silent, the night was as black as ink, and it seemed as if all sounds were stripped away.
A voice suddenly appeared at the side.
"You have a very clever mind..."
"Can you lend it to me?"
Xie Shu saw a strange Nuo mask out of the corner of his eye. The other party appeared beside him without him knowing when, and was as silent as a ghost.
Xie Shu's reaction was not slow, but the moment the man's voice sounded, his body could no longer move at all. He could only watch the other party reach out his hand towards him.
The hand came towards his chest, as if it wanted to pierce through his flesh and tear out his heart.
The moment the dull pain came, the masked man's hands suddenly froze.
Xie Shu felt something hot in his sleeves, and suddenly a ball of faint flame shot out and attacked the man.
The man retreated, and the green fire burned his hands.
Suddenly——
There was a sudden sound of breaking air, and several sharp arrows pierced through the night and flew towards the man.
The arrow shot into the air, and the man's figure and the green fire disappeared.
Xie Shu's shoulders and neck relaxed, and the force that was oppressing his whole body and making him unable to move disappeared. He covered his chest and coughed.
The dull pain in his chest reminded him that what had just happened was not an illusion.
He hurriedly opened his sleeves, but spilled a handful of cigarette ashes.
Xie Shu's eyes moved slightly. In his sleeve was a red talisman that Princess Yan had given him a long time ago.
That fire just now...was it this red talisman that saved him?
The sound of horse hooves accompanied by firelight came from far away. Xie Shu looked in the direction of the sound and saw familiar armor.
The man in the lead had a tall stature, a masculine and resolute face, and held a long spear in his hand.
"General Huo." Xie Shu nodded to Huo Yi: "Thank you very much for what you did just now."
Huo Yi glanced at the driver beside him and thanked him, "He's still alive."
"That's good." Huo Yi nodded, then frowned: "That person just now..."
Xie Shu shook his head: "The other party is wearing a mask, and his identity is unknown, but..." He paused and lowered his voice: "The other party's methods are extraordinary."
Huo Yi frowned. The distance between them was too far. He only had time to shoot a few arrows, most likely missing the target. However, he did not see clearly how the target left.
But after hearing what Xie Shu said, I thought it was the evil spirits causing trouble again.
"Xie Shaoqing, do you know why he came to you?"
Xie Shu groaned in silence and did not mention the matter of the 'Seven-Aperture Heart'.
Seeing this, Huo Yi stopped asking questions and just said, "It's getting dark, it's better for Master Xie to go home early. I'll have someone take you there."
Now the driver was unconscious and Xie Shu was alone, so he did not refuse at the moment.
Before leaving, he just asked: "Is General Huo's suppression of the bandits going smoothly?"
Huo Yi's expression hesitated for a moment, and he hummed in a muffled voice, saying in a complicated tone: "It went very smoothly."
Xie Shu nodded and said nothing more.
Sitting back in the carriage, he thought to himself that it was not the 'Seven Apertures and Wonderful Heart' but the man in the Nuo mask.
That person’s voice…
Very familiar.
…
Inside the palace.
The old emperor had just taken a tablet of Tai Sui and was sitting in the hall.
The figure of a man in Nuo mask suddenly appeared in the hall, one of his hands was bloody and only bones were left.
The strong smell of blood made the old emperor open his eyes. He stared at the man's arm and frowned, saying, "You are injured."
The Nuo masked man hummed, "The only way to prevent the wound from being burned is to peel off the skin and remove the flesh."
"Karma fire?" The old emperor suddenly thought: "Did you meet a ghost official from the underworld?"
The man in the Nuo mask did not answer.
The old emperor snorted, "Lord Wu Peng has arrived. Don't act on your own. If you interfere with important matters, I don't need to remind you of your fate."
The Nuo masked man still did not react, his eyes were indifferent, he was just a puppet without emotions, the only thing left was obsession.
The old emperor didn't want to say more to him.
"Have you settled your sister's affairs?"
"She has entered the Hu people's royal court."
The old emperor nodded, "Very good, the next step is to bring her to Dayong in a legitimate way."
As he spoke, he looked at the man in the Nuo mask with amusement.
"Prince Yan has gone to great lengths to clear the grievances of the Zhenguo Marquisate, but now you have taken advantage of it and are sitting back to enjoy the fruits of his labor. I hope your sister can be of use. Otherwise, I will suffer a great loss if I give in this time."
The man in the Nuo mask did not respond.
The old emperor chuckled, waved his hand, and signaled the other party to leave, his words were quite contemptuous.
"What can I say to a puppet like you?"
"Anyway, you've died a long time ago. You're just an empty shell. You won't care about the injustice done to the Marquis of Zhenguo. Apart from your sister, even if you were asked to kill your former relatives and close friends, I don't think you would feel anything."
"Right, Yun Zheng?"
The man in the Nuo mask stood motionless in the corner with his eyes lowered.
…
The next day, Qing Wu woke up at dawn.
She was distracted and lost in passion last night, her brain was a mess. After a night's sleep, she became more awake, with all the scenes of last night churning in her mind.
She and Xiao Chenyan were intimate with each other and their lips were entangled.
Her breath intertwined with his, entangled and panting.
His smell, his temperature, his forbearing yet forceful invasion...
The more Qing Wu thought about it, the hotter her face became. She suddenly let out a loud "Ahhhhh" and slammed her head down heavily.
Boom!
“Hmm—”
A muffled groaning sound was heard.
Xiao Chenyan was hit on the chest by a huge rock while he was sleeping. He opened his eyes with his blood boiling and met the innocent yet confused big eyes of a certain ghost.
The eyes blinked as if saying: Hey, why aren't you dead yet?
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
Revenge is late but never too late, right?
