Chapter eight hundred and seventy-six: temptation

In the second half of the night, Yun Xiao changed into clean clothes and gently pushed open the window and looked out. At this angle, you can clearly see the panoramic view of the dance venue before. After the wall yard rose again, the three restaurants were also separated. The person arrested tonight had been taken away. In just half a day, the originally noisy backyard became deserted, and the hazy light and shadows filled with the air disappeared. The clear moonlight poured on the bricks and tiles of the imperial capital, presenting an extraordinary solemn and dignified.

She stared at the moon blankly, feeling an indescribable melancholy in her heart. At the top of Kunlun, her mother had looked at the sky countless times, chatting with her like a murmur. No matter what topic she was talking about, she would sigh in emotion at the end, telling her that people's hearts are complicated and should not be underestimated.

What will happen when the sun rises tomorrow? Why do those high-ranking officials and nobles who hold heavy power live in the comfortable and rich Tianyu City, greedily earn ill-gotten wealth and let thousands of innocent people fall into the abyss of poison? It is because the shattering disaster did not happen to them, and the pain of losing relatives and the sorrow of losing their homes cannot be empathized with. Therefore, after the suffering is over, they still do not want to make money and seize power without any progress, just to make their already comfortable life, just to add icing on the cake?

Qianye risked his life to save... these people? He has carried so many infamous, lost so many things, and was reborn in desperate situations, but was squandered by these people without any cherishment!?

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao felt that the icing on the cake made her throat disgusted, so she simply closed the window with a crackling sound. When she turned around, Di Zhong came in. Looking at her angry cheeks, she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Who made you angry?"

"You dare to come!" When she saw Di Zhong's brain, she became even more angry and smoked. She grabbed the teapot at her hand and smashed it hard. Di Zhong smiled and tilted his head to avoid it. He grabbed the teapot and put it back in the distance. He pulled the chair and sat down leisurely, and said slowly: "Where did you learn bad habits? You would smash things when you get angry? You are not the emperor. If he smashes things, you can afford to pay. If you smash things... Anyway, I don't have money, you have to find Qianye to go."

"Why did you take me to the dance venue?" Yun Xiao stared at him with a dark face. He remembered the wet and embarrassed look just now. He really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. Di Zhong frowned and asked strangely, "Is there anything wrong? Who gave him the courage to throw you into the well? I won't take you over and ask for a crime. Do you have to swallow your anger and think that nothing has happened? That's not possible. They all respect you at all. I have to give them some color and let them have a good memory. I won't dare to treat you like this next time."

Yun Xiao blushed and found that what she said to Di Zhong was not the same thing at all. She twisted for a long time before whispering with her eyes slanted, "Then, you have to let me change into clean clothes first, make up, and take me to a dance with so many people."

"Huh?" Di Zhong was slightly stunned. Yun Xiao turned his head angrily, looked at the bronze mirror on the table again and again, and said with a sad face, "The makeup is all over, the hair is messy, not only is the clothes wet, but the moss and mud are also hanging, which is so shameless! There are so many people, Zhuo Fan is there, Gongsun Yan is there, and his colleagues, Kunhong and Zhao Song are there. Now they all know that I was thrown into the well. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"This..." Di Zhong paused awkwardly. He didn't think so much at the time. Now Yun Xiao has brought it up. When he recalled her embarrassed look just now, he couldn't help but smile and comfort him, "You are born beautiful and look better than others, so it's not embarrassing."

"Stop talking about this sweet word!" Yun Xiao became more and more angry as he heard it. He grabbed the bronze mirror and then smashed it over. Di Zhong held it helplessly. Yu Guang swept into the mirror without any bias. He suddenly felt a sudden loss. He calmly put the bronze mirror next to him, with a bitter smile. Obviously, he didn't want to argue with a woman with a childish temper at this time. He kept saying everything while she cursing and finished speaking all the words. Di Zhong kept smiling and said, "This time I can catch all the incident in the Pure Land Pearl, thanks to the Empress who was alone and narrowly trapped the Pinnacle, which is the Dragon Princess of the Ruins. Otherwise, that special stealth technique could indeed hide the truth from the sea and escape from the Heavenly Heaven with the mastermind. I had asked her about her situation just now, saying that she had suffered a little cold and would be fine after silence for a few days."

As expected, she stopped quarreling immediately and sat upright and asked, "What will happen to King Yongle and Poinsettia?"

Di Zhong shook his head and didn't care at all, and said lightly: "This is not what you should care about. Now that Xinmo has left, the Pearl of Jue can be properly resolved. If you have two days off, I will send you to the Wuyan Valley."

"Go to the Wuyan Valley?" Yun Xiao looked at him strangely, thinking of King Chi's smiling face, and was a little unhappy, "Why do you want to go to his place?"

"He's safe." Di Zhong spoke without hesitation, his tone was unquestionable, "Feng Ming has the strongest gap technique in the heaven world, and even if I was locked up by him, I can't escape. In addition, the inner valley has a strong residual power of the Queen Mother of the West. In addition, the Wuyan Valley is the most solid mirror of the moon. You live there. On the one hand, I don't have to worry about Huang Yan going crazy and causing trouble for you. On the other hand, Zi Su can also help you stabilize your injuries. And Miss Qing, you have always been able to chat, and just happened to go and accompany her."

Yun Xiao listened to his striking words, blinked his eyes and thought about it again and again, and then asked, "What about you?"

"Of course I'll go together."

"Then, that..." Yun Xiao rolled his eyes hesitantly and said in a low voice, "But you are like Qianye now. They have just captured so many people. The military cabinet must be very busy, right? You are leaving at this time, right?"

Di Zhong paused, and his eyes couldn't help but dim a little at this moment. Yun Xiao didn't notice the sudden displeasure on his face. He continued to say with concern: "The situation was urgent at that time, I could only tell Marshal Si Tian the truth, but the others probably didn't know yet. The spring election was over. Do the newly enlisted soldiers still have training arrangements? He hasn't come back for so long, and now there are so many people in various departments in the four major realms. Is it not appropriate to leave the Pavilion Master..."

"I'm not him." Di Zhong interrupted her coldly, and couldn't help but clench his fists and was angry, but he still said in the calmest tone, "Xiao'er, have you ever thought that maybe... he might never wake up again?"

This sentence was like a huge rock smashed into the water, making Yun Xiao stand up blankly. I don’t know if he didn’t hear his words or could not understand the deep meaning hidden behind it. Yun Xiao opened his mouth stiffly, as if there were many words that wanted to jump out of his throat. When he reached his mouth, he turned into a messy character and couldn’t piece it together. Di Zhong’s eyes passed by her, his face showed a few fatigues. He sighed and found a high-sounding excuse to talk: “In fact, you should be very clear about how many injuries he has had since North Bank City. Every time, the old wounds have not healed, and new injuries have been added. This has been repeated for many years, and even I have been affected several times. The continuous accumulation of these burdens will eventually explode.

He paused for a moment, and glanced at Yun Xiao's dazed face, then immediately lowered his head and continued, "Xiao'er, he has my blood on his body, and he woke up again after being burned by your flames. Have you ever thought that the boy you first met at the top of Kunlun was an ordinary person who would grow up and grow old, and would be born, old, sick and die like everyone else? It was me, you who gave him a brand new life, which was not his thing originally."

"No, it's not like this..." Yun Xiaoyu retorted incoherently, trying to make his mind clearer, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he bit his lips tightly, still slipping down his cheeks. Di Zhong looked at Yun Xiao expressionlessly. He just wanted to find some reasons to test it, hoping that she could put down the person bit by bit, but unexpectedly, he could see tears so easily on her face. Suddenly, those more cruel and ruthless words could no longer be said. He leaned back irritably, sighed helplessly at the ceiling, comforted him: "I'm just saying it. Although his condition is not very good now, he may not be able to wake up. Don't cry."

When the atmosphere was slightly frozen, the door was pushed open with a creaking sound. Di Zhong looked over in a restless manner. He saw the hibiscus flower spirit, which was a perilla, poked his head into the head. The flower spirit, who looked like a girl, had a round and cute face, giggled at Yun Xiao, jumped on tiptoe and threw herself into her arms, and said seriously in a stiff and childish tone: "Jiu Suihe, Jiu Suihe take it...you must have a good rest!"

Yun Xiao quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled at her. She picked up Hua Ling, looked at Di Zhong with a little embarrassed, and scratched her head and explained: "When Qianye brought her to Qinlou that day, many people saw her. They seemed to mistake this Hua Ling for our child. Some people have always teased her with ulterior motives these days and wanted to get close to her. I was worried that her identity would cause trouble. I would come to play with her when I was fine. Now she is sticking to me. When Lord Lie wants to go back, I may still be reluctant to leave!"

Hua Ling was like a naughty child pulling her hair and laughing non-stop, and Yun Xiao also laughed with her and played with her. Such a scene made Di Zhong feel slightly moved, and he thought of a scene at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in a trance. If the child could have been born safely, he would have been six years old now, right?

He closed his eyes heavily, why did he feel so heart-wrenching, as if those tragic pasts had actually happened to him?

Di Zhong shook his head, threw away the more and more entangled memories in his mind, rubbed his eyebrows and stood up, and said indifferently: "It's getting late, so you can rest here tonight."

"Yeah." Yun Xiao nodded, paused for a while before asking worriedly, "Where are you going?"

"Hehe..." He had a smile in his eyes, but his face was still faint, and he replied, "The newly enlisted soldiers still have training arrangements, and the matter of the Pearl of Jujube still needs to be handled by the military cabinet. Of course, I... want to go back and continue acting."
