Sui Xue narrowed her eyes, hid behind the wide stone platform, and stared at Xuan Li's back.
Xuan Li looked around.
After a while, after confirming that there was no one around, Xuan Li pushed aside the bamboo leaves in front of him and rushed into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Sui Xue narrowed her eyes, followed the edge of the bamboo forest, carefully stuck close to the bamboo trunk, and followed quietly.
After walking for dozens of steps, Xuan Li paused and stopped under a Xiangfei bamboo.
This Xiangfei bamboo is older in color. Although it looks ordinary among the other bamboos, if you look closely, you will find that the leaves of this bamboo are older and darker in color than those of the other bamboos.
Such a feature is neither too conspicuous to prevent outsiders from speculating, nor is it too obvious to be easily identified by insiders.
It’s really well-intentioned.
Sui Xue's eyes grew colder and colder, she held her breath and hid herself deeper.
She wanted to see it.
What kind of things was the person she had saved with so much effort doing behind her back?
"Commander."
An old and deep voice sounded.
Sui Xue frowned, subconsciously feeling that the voice was very familiar.
A surge of emotion surged in my heart
Looking in the direction of the sound, the scene before her almost made her heart stop.
The person in front of me has a kind and warm face, gentle and kind.
She was very familiar with that face.
From flood control and disaster relief to snake-fox peace talks.
This person plays an important supporting role as the backbone.
Sui Xue never thought that the person who would meet Xuan Li privately would be him.
Zhu Chou.
Zhu Chou, who has always supported him.
A snake leader.
A fox commoner.
Sui Xue couldn't imagine how they would interact.
unless--
She took a deep breath, unwilling to speculate, and instead fixed her gaze on the two of them with a serious look.
"Now that the leader has come to the Fox Tribe, do we want to continue with the original plan?"
Xuan Li pondered for a moment and paused slightly.
"The Fox Tribe's leader is no longer Sui Xue. Assassinating her now would not only fail to create chaos, but would actually help the current Fox Tribe leader, Ming Zhao, quell the rebellion."
"It's really a very bad idea."
Zhu Chou nodded and clasped his fists.
"What the chief said is quite true."
"So what should we do next?"
Xuan Li chuckled and answered.
"First gain Sui Xue's trust."
He stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face, appearing inexplicably gloomy in the dark night.
"It's not a bad idea to use her to help me regain the position of leader of the snake tribe."
Zhu Chou half-knelt and raised his fist.
"yes."
After a moment, two sets of footsteps faded away and gradually disappeared in the bamboo forest.
Sui Xue said nothing and looked up at the sky.
"system."
After calling out the system, Sui Xue's throat rolled and he said a reasoning that he still couldn't let go of until now.
"The two traitors mentioned in the hidden mission."
"One is Mingheng, and the other is Zhuchou."
"Is that right?"
The voice paused, the system was silent for a moment, and the sound of data calculation lingered in Sui Xue's mind.
After a long while, the system replied.
"Congratulations to the host, you answered correctly and successfully completed the hidden mission."
"The gold coin reward will arrive later, please check it."
Sui Xue nodded without saying anything, just quietly looking at the bright night sky.
After three breaths, she looked away.
His eyes, which had just been distracted, gradually focused and returned to their previous stern and determined look.
This has always been her code of conduct: since the other party is unkind, don't blame yourself for being unjust.
There is nothing to worry about or be sad about for those who have gone away.
From the moment you choose something that goes against your own will, it should not occupy an important position in your life.
She and Zhu Chou are no longer allies.
As for Xuanli.
Since he wants to play tricks, then just play along with him.
She curled her lips, turned and walked away.
That night, in Xuanli's room.
It was already three o'clock in the morning after I finished discussing business with Zhu Chou.
As usual, Xuanli prepared to read books to learn military tactics.
When he pulled out the usual book, a scroll of portraits flew out along with it.
He was stunned.
The person in the painting is extremely beautiful, with a hint of heroism in her eyes and eyebrows.
The perfect blend of charm and heroism.
Apart from Liu Se, how many people in the world have such a unique temperament?
Unfortunately, the painting was not completed, only the willow-colored outline and the iconic fox eyes were drawn.
He hasn't continued this painting for a long time.
In the past, it was his habit to read and paint before going to bed.
But ever since the unhappy wedding, he has never picked up a pen again.
Especially after following Sui Xue.
After following Sui Xue to do things, the number of times he opened the willow scroll only decreased, not increased.
It was so long that even he almost forgot that there was an unfinished painting.
He bent down and was about to roll up the scroll and put it away when there was a knock on the door.
With a squeak.
Sui Xue raised an eyebrow and leaned lazily against the door frame.
"Commander Sui Xue, aren't you going to rest yet?"
Not sure if it was because of the night meeting with Zhu Chou or because of playing with Liu Se's scroll, Xuan Li felt inexplicably guilty and lowered his head to avoid the sight of the person in front of him.
Sui Xue noticed his awkwardness, but she was not annoyed. Instead, she walked around him and went straight into the room.
As soon as I walked near the desk, I caught a glimpse of a scroll placed neatly on the table.
Although the painting is not complete, the features are obvious and you can still tell who it is at a glance.
Sui Xue pondered for a moment without saying anything, but her heart felt a little cold.
"That painting—"
