you got on my tail

The house bestowed by the emperor, even if it has been left unattended for many years, still looks magnificent, such as the unicorn and lion carved on the tile edge, all of which are angular.

Bai Xuehe took out the key, feeling that this is a good place to go, but found that the door was completely unlocked, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, carefully looked around, but did not see anything unusual.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew through the door, and Bai Xuehe shook, the door was quiet, indeed, there was no one there.

"This is the residence arranged by Xiao Hei. I think there will be no problem." Thinking this way, he walked in with his head held high.

At this moment, Cang Hua was half lying in the military tent, holding a sweet fruit in boredom.

Although they haven't been together for a few days, his subordinates have figured out the general's preferences. This tall and mighty general doesn't like wine and meat, but loves sweet fruits.

"Canghua!"

Xun Luo's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, Cang Hua sat up straight, put the whole red fruit into his mouth, but frowned sourly, even though he hated Bai Xuehe, he still missed those sweet fruits from Bai Mansion.

Xun Luo entered the tent and sat down after looking around for a week. He had just sent Fu Jiying out of the city. He had no car or horse, and he didn't even wear a soft armor. He walked all night before returning from the outskirts of the city. Sweat.

"I think you look like a prisoner when you send the defeated army out of the city." Cang Hua smiled, with a little sympathy and contempt in his eyes, "If I were you, I wouldn't really lay down my weapons, but would kill him on the outskirts of the city, wouldn't it? , don’t you hate the emperor for killing your father?”

"Why are you like this?" Xun Luo was surprised, and stood up "Teng", "If I don't really send the emperor out, what if he leaves behind to harm Bai Xuehe?"

Cang Hua frowned tightly, showing displeasure.

Xun Luo didn't know what was going on in Cang Hua's mind, and thought he was sour on himself for caring too much about Bai Xuehe, so he smiled softly: "You are young, and you don't understand his treachery, so you simply passed away. Where is Master Bai now? He is still alive." All right?"

"I told him to leave the city." Cang Hua nodded casually, avoiding his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, "The army is in chaos, and his body is weak, so it is very inappropriate to stay in the barracks."

"What? Why did you send him out of the city knowing that the war was in turmoil..." Xun Luo's surprise turned into anger, "I saw something wrong with you in front of the tower today. Could it be that someone provoked you?"

"He did so many things before, and harmed so many people." Cang Hua got up, tightly squeezed the red fruit in his hand, the juice dripped down his fingers like blood, and sneered: "General Xun, you are not very open and aboveboard, no matter what Can't get on him?"

"He has been taking Xitong ointment for many years, so he has been ruled by the emperor everywhere, and he has done many things that he himself does not want to do." Xun Luo's tone gradually became low, "Now he is weak, no matter what misunderstandings he had before ..."

"That's why you believe in him? Are you willing to let go of your enemy for him?" Cang Hua interrupted him, "How do you know if it's because of the painkiller ointment, or because of someone else?"

Xun Luo was completely stunned, and reached forward, ready to grab Cang Hua's collar, but before his fingertips touched, Cang Hua had already dodged silently.

Xun Luo stared at Cang Hua, "Where is he?"

"He endured the humiliation, but it was for his lord." Cang Hua stood up slowly, the whites of his eyes glowing red, "It has nothing to do with you or me!"

"I just want to ask you where he is?" Xun Luo got up and took off his sword at the door, "The emperor is paranoid, he may come back anytime, I have to find him, he is safe by my side."

Cang Hua didn't answer, got up and left the military tent, Xun Luo wanted to reach out to hold his arm, but found that in front of Cang Hua, his martial arts would always be in vain.

"I will definitely find it." Xun Luo gritted his teeth and rushed out with his sword in hand.

Cang Hua saw his back not far away, and kicked the gravel on the ground hard.

……

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it didn't look like someone was fanning the wind in the palace. At first, Bai Xuehe was still wearing neat clothes, shoes and socks, but later he simply took off his coat and trousers, and sat on the bed in his middle coat.

After a while, he took another basin of water to soak his feet.

He was leaning against the wall, rubbing his thin white palms on his stomach, he had been in the palace for a long time, he hadn't eaten for a long time, and he ate a lot of liquid food, so he was a little indigestible after eating steamed buns in the military camp.

Although he didn't know what Cang Hua had heard, Bai Xuehe understood that it must be King Yan's conspiracy.

Like many things before, there are no coincidences in this world at all, and all the goings and turns are traps and carefully arranged by others.

Being played and applauded by the savior who once sincerely admired it is indeed difficult to write it off, but Bai Xuehe is Bai Xuehe, and he will always work hard to adjust his mentality, and it is better to live than to die.

But he still felt very relieved, even a little satisfied. If it wasn't for King Yan, he would have been just a servant who was beaten and scolded all his life. Also feared by these people.

If it wasn't for King Yan, he wouldn't have picked up a little snake for no reason, and met the dazed little Hei.

Even though there were all sorts of misunderstandings, Xiao Hei still reserved this place for himself, and he can explain again when everything subsides.

Even if the explanation doesn't make sense, you can still ask. Anyway, I have always had no backbone, and I have never been afraid of asking for help.

There was a sudden noise outside the door, Bai Xuehe took his feet out of the water, rubbed his trouser legs casually twice, opened the door with his shoes on, splashed the footwashing water on the ground, held a lamp and walked towards the door.

A screen wall was built in front of the gate, and only the shaking of the lanterns was seen, and nothing else could be seen clearly.

"Ai Qing." A voice sounded from outside the door, but the visitor was not in a hurry to show his appearance.

Bai Xuehe froze in place, covered in cold sweat as if being splashed by well water.

"Why doesn't Aiqing welcome me?" Fu Jiying turned around the screen wall, put the lantern on the ground, and opened her arms towards Bai Xuehe.

Bai Xuehe didn't make a sound, his body was nailed in place, and the candle in his hand kept shaking.

Although Fu Jiying had a smile on his face, he was really embarrassed.Although he doesn't like luxury and luxury, he is not a simple person either. Now he only wears a coarse cloth, a strand of hair falls out of his bun and hangs weakly by his ear.

Seeing that Bai Xuehe didn't move, Fu Jiying walked up with a smile, and embraced him generously and naturally.

Bai Xuehe had no choice but to move forward under his embrace, but still looked around from the corner of his eye, and found that Fu Jiying was indeed alone, with only his sword still around his waist.

"Don't look at it." Fu Jiying knew his intentions, "They have already rested. It is I who changed clothes and left alone. I came here specially to look for you."

Bai Xuehe took a deep breath inwardly, and said in a low voice, "I remember that yesterday, before the gate of the city, the Holy Majesty had already accepted General Xun."

"I agreed to him, and I did let you go." Fu Jiying smiled gently, and his tone was as warm as three springs, "It's just that Cang Hua doesn't want to keep you either."

Bai Xuehe has always been eloquent, even if the situation is urgent, he can always find something to say, but at this moment he is suddenly dumb.

"I found him strange at the city gate, so I sent Xu Lin to follow him from afar. I saw you out of the camp, and I was able to find this place." At this moment, the two of them had entered the inner room, and Fu Jiying pulled him to sit opposite him. Interested: "I have some secrets about King Yan, do you want to hear them? For example, although Cang Hua has high martial arts skills, he is just a wild way. He is willing to sacrifice you just to alienate a general."

"I would like to bet and admit defeat." Bai Xuehe shook his head, "There is nothing to say."

"You said you have nothing to say, but I want to say it." Fu Jiying continued: "The unsolved case in the capital, coupled with Xu Yan's sudden rebellion, made me feel that something was wrong. The only royal family around me was King Yan is capable of plotting rebellion, but I really don't know why he, who is under house arrest in the mansion, has the right to plan?"

"So I asked Xu Lin to investigate secretly. Although the investigation was very slow and it was useless to find out, I was indeed shocked."

Seeing that Bai Xuehe's expression did not change, he deliberately paused for a moment, "The guard next to King Yan is called Li Yue, you should know this person, but he is not a human, but a fox demon. Since I sealed the mansion, King Yan has I haven't stayed in the mansion, there is only Liyue who has changed her appearance."

"Really?"

Although he knew that there were spirits and monsters in this world, Bai Xuehe still trembled a little when he heard the word "Li Yue".

If Li Yue was a fox demon, then he could change his form and stay in the capital. In this way, that stupid county magistrate Lan Ziqing was indeed King Yan all along in disguise.

That's really amazing.

Thinking of this, Bai Xuehe actually smiled.

"Aiqing, are you confused?" Seeing his inexplicable smile, Fu Jiying couldn't help asking, "Being forced to this point, why don't you want to ask him for clarification?"

"No, I just think I'm ridiculous." Bai Xuehe shook his head, "When I was poor, I was once moved by King Yan's words 'Mei Qing', thinking that even if I was humble, I could grow proud like a plum blossom. In the mine, I I was also moved by Lan Ziqing's words 'Mei Qing', thinking that I could change my past and become a good official, but now I realize how stupid I am, always being deceived by the same person, thinking that as long as I work hard, I can really be reborn Don't remember the past."

"It's rare for you to speak the truth." Seeing what Bai Xuehe said suddenly, Fu Jiying didn't want to listen any more, and continued: "But Aiqing, don't be so busy blaming yourself, I have something else to do here."

Bai Xuehe smiled, but said nothing.

"One slap can't make a sound, and everything is going on. King Yan is at fault, and you are not innocent." Fu Jiying laughed suddenly, and looked at Bai Xuehe with interest, "Just one thing, Ai Qing was really wronged." very."

"I really want to know when you won't be able to laugh!" Fu Jiying stretched out his hand suddenly, clamping Bai Xuehe's cheek with his right hand, forcing him to look in his direction, while taking out something from his sleeve with his left hand, and throwing it at him fiercely. on the table.

Bai Xuehe hated this thing extremely, but he was also extremely familiar with it.

Xitong ointment.
