Huaiyu is slightly cool

On the outskirts of the capital, two teams of cavalry were guarding the two carriages, but there were dozens of strong men in rough clothes lying on the ground who did not know their life or death. The bright red blood was mixed with the messy falling snow everywhere, red and white intersecting, mottled and bleak.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhou Huai let Fang Shuying help her bandage the wound from her shoulder to her collarbone, watched the eldest princess's men deal with the wounded and cleaned up the scene, and then glanced at the gray clothes standing respectfully outside the window. The man recognized the identity of the leader at a glance—Mo Ziqi, the prince of Zhao Kingdom, and immediately said to the eldest princess who was sitting next to her angrily, "Why are you saving him? , or the subjugated prince, it is not cost-effective to accept him as the head of the face."

Mo Ziqi next to the carriage heard the words, his handsome face turned blue and red. He looked up at Zhou Huai through the window, and then looked at the eldest princess in the carriage who didn't know if he heard it, but his expression was obviously absent-minded, and bit him. Gritting his teeth, he still bent down and bowed to the two of them, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, and Miss Zhou, for your rescue."

"No, I only acted because of her." Zhou Huai said truthfully.If she hadn't disliked that the other roads were too narrow and too muddy when the snow melted, she would have already ordered the driver to detour, let alone get closer to see which unlucky guy was being robbed, although she finally found the fight Many of the two parties were from different races, but the eldest princess who had acted bravely became the worst one. If Zhou Huai hadn't acted in time, the eldest princess who took the lead would have died at the hands of that foreign race today.

Mo Ziqi choked when he heard the words, touched his nose, a little embarrassed, but still forced a smile and said: "His Royal Highness saved me, and Miss Zhou blocked His Highness's knife just now, otherwise His Highness will die if something happens to me." Letting go of the blame is counted as a lifesaver.”

Zhou Huai glanced at him, turned to look at the eldest princess and said, "You are so awkward when you see me, and you don't even bother to say a word to me?"

Ever since Zhou Huai blocked the sneak attack from her back and was injured just now, the eldest princess has been in a silent trance, even being dragged into the carriage by Zhou Huai. Why block this knife for me?"

Zhou Huai's face was a little pale, and he glanced at the wound from his shoulder to collarbone cut by the machete, curled his lips and said, "How can you give someone else the opportunity to block the knife for your sweetheart?! But why did you take risks for him? "

Seeing Zhou Huai's calm and even calm expression after being injured, the eldest princess frowned a little, and turned her head to talk to Mo Ziqi who was standing under the carriage, but she seemed to be answering Zhou Huai: "It's just that the road is rough. The thugs are committing crimes in broad daylight in our country, and they are despising the national prestige of our country. Since this palace encounters it, how can I ignore it? Mr. Mo doesn’t need to take it to heart. I still have something to do, so let’s say goodbye, Mr. Mo, take care.”

"Then I still have to thank you two for your help. If there is a chance in the future, Mo Ziqi will definitely repay you." After Mo Ziqi finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "I don't know where you two are going. ? How about walking together?”

"We still have something to do, it's inconvenient to bring Mr. Mo with you, and His Majesty has ordered that no one from the royal family or nobles of the Zhao Kingdom stay in our country for a long time. It's better for Mr. Mo to leave as soon as possible." Paying attention to Mo Ziqi again, looking at Zhou Huai's wound, although it has been coated with medicine and wrapped in gauze, the glaring red still made the eldest princess a little soft-hearted, and even her tone became gentle: "Seeing that you are seriously injured, Why don't you go back first?"

"It's almost here. It's not easy to come here in the ice and snow. There are some things, it's better to be early. And the bleeding has stopped. As long as you don't get infected, you shouldn't die."

The eldest princess paused, turned her head slightly to avoid Zhou Huai's gaze, and then glanced at Fang Shuying who was silent in the car, then got up and lifted the thick car curtain to scan the surroundings, and saw that everyone had finished tidying up .Most of the guards around Zhou Huai were dead, and the rest were more or less injured. It seems that after this incident, the guards around Zhou Huai will have to change again.The eldest princess sighed softly, and asked again: "Didn't you leave the palace first? How did you get here?"

"Go to Ming Sheng first."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, and looked at Zhou Huai with a calm expression: "Let's go together. You can rest for a while, I'm going out." After speaking, before Zhou Huai could reply, he had already lifted the curtain and went out.

The group set off again and set off according to the original plan.

Mo Ziqi cheekily followed them. The eldest princess glanced at him with a blank expression on her face, but Mo Ziqi felt a little uncomfortable, and leaned over to find something to say: "The relationship between the eldest princess and Miss Zhou is really enviable. I'm afraid my sisters can't do this."

The eldest princess was riding a horse, looked at the vast sky in the distance and asked, "How can you tell that I have a good relationship with her?"

"Because nobody's going to be nice to another guy for no reason."

"But what if you are with her? After all, it's really a coincidence." The eldest princess smiled lightly, the smile not reaching her eyes.

Mo Ziqi smiled wryly: "A group? I hope that there are still people who are willing to be with me."

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end, she just speeded up and walked towards the manor whose outline could be seen in the distance.

"Where is Xiao Yu?"

In the hall of the manor, the eldest princess was holding boiling hot tea, and Fang Shuying couldn't get away because she wanted to keep Mo Ziqi out of the manor. There was no one else around, so she just sat cross-legged on the soft wolf fur mat directly to the old god Zhou Huai asked.

"He's fine. Let's meet someone first. I know you've probably guessed who it is."

The eldest princess had a cold face, but there was nothing she could do, she could only sternly reprimanded: "Zhou Huai, there is a limit to my tolerance! For the sake of your injury, as long as you hand over Xiao Yu, today's matter will be like this Forget it, I can let the past go."

Zhou Huai ignored it, and just said to himself, "I know you have always been brooding about the fact that you didn't kill Liao Qiwei in your previous life..."

When the eldest princess heard the name 'Liao Qiwei', she reacted violently, and interrupted her directly: "It's the same in this world."

"Well, you two may be born at odds." Zhou Huai looked at the eldest princess who was holding back her anger, and said helplessly: "I am just a mediator in the middle. Those past grievances are all in the past, how about Let it go and start over?"

"At this point, even if I am willing, she may not be willing, and I will never let the tiger go back to the mountain." The eldest princess knew that Liao Qiwei was not an incompetent person, so she had to kill the grass.

"Her surname is Liao, not Xiao. As long as you are willing to let her go, I will naturally make her dare not hurt you."

"You know who I really want to kill, why should I help her?" Her benevolent people don't include enemies.But Zhou Huai, the person she has been grieving about all this time, wants to go against her and protect her.She was really puzzled, so she could only continue to ask: "When you saved Mo Ziqi, weren't you still reluctant? Why are you so special to her?"

Zhou Huai's eyes flickered, but in the end he straightened his body and put his feet on the table as soon as he stretched out. His whole body was instantly exposed, and he said with a nonchalant expression: "Whoever saves and kills depends on the mood. Anyway, I You're not a good person, why do you care so much?"

The eldest princess gritted her teeth, and put down the cup in her hand heavily, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Then what if I kill her now? Did you just kill Xiao Yu?"

"I said no, do you believe it?"

"Good! Good! Zhou Huai!" The eldest princess laughed back angrily, but her eyes were a little red.She stood up in a huff, with a decisive expression: "I let her go, from now on, you and I will be clean, and if you dare to attack my Wu family, you will die forever."

The eldest princess wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but Zhou Huai retracted her feet and reached out, grabbing her.

The eldest princess was startled, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to press Zhou Huai's shoulder, but it happened to be the injured left shoulder.She was taken aback for a moment, but finally she clenched her hands tightly to prevent Zhou Huai from approaching, and then said word by word, "What else do you want?"

Zhou Huai's expression remained unchanged, he glanced lightly at the blood-soaked wound on his shoulder, then stared into the eldest princess's eyes and asked, "What are you afraid of? I can die for you, and I will obediently listen to you, but why are you Do you not believe me?"

The eldest princess frowned when she heard the words, retracted her slender hands that were pointing and dyed red, and said flatly: "Because you never believe what you say."

Zhou Huaiyang wiped a wry smile, got up and stood beside her, grabbed the jade hand retracted in the air, took out a white silk handkerchief and gently wiped off the bright red on her fingertips, then held it: "She wants to see you."

The eldest princess withdrew her hand and looked deeply at Zhou Huai.Having known each other for nearly half a year, she still couldn't see through the man in front of her, but she always wanted to kill Zhou Huai, which was more urgent than killing Liao Qiwei.She knew that Liao Qiwei was in this manor now, and it would be easy for her to kill him, but she didn't know what to do with Zhou Huai.The eldest princess stood upright, and said with a contemptuous air, "Want to take revenge? Let her come!"

"I'll be with you, and I won't let her hurt you."

"get out."

Looking at the stubborn eldest princess, Zhou Huai seemed to have expected it, and went out without saying anything.

At this time, standing under the steps outside the door was a young girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in elegant blue silk, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and an extraordinary temperament.It's just that her eyes are calm at this time, but there is a bit of coldness in her eyes.Seeing Zhou Huai nodding her head, she finally stepped forward. When they passed each other, they looked at each other inexplicably, with dark waves surging in her eyes.

Zhou Huai stopped at the place where Liao Qiwei stood just now, turned his head, and looked at the closed door with a calm expression.

As Mo Ziqi's footsteps approached slowly in the distance, Zhou Huai glanced at him impatiently with his head tilted and raised eyebrows, and said, "I'm also in trouble now, and I can't help you. You don't need to waste time, just leave here immediately."

When Mo Ziqi approached Zhou Huai, he wanted to contact Zhou's family through Zhou Huai, hoping that they could go to Yunzhou temporarily to settle down.After all, Zhao Kingdom is dead and they can't go back. Wu Mingtai ordered all the people of Zhao Kingdom to be expelled from the country, and the world is so big that there are not many who dare to take in the subjugated prince, but quite a few want to kill him.This time, he met the passionate and righteous eldest princess to save his life, but there are not many guards left around him, and the next time he is hunted down, he will definitely die.And Wu Liangyue, the eldest princess of Jingguo, had no intention of taking them in, so the helpless Mo Ziqi could only come to find Zhou Huai who was said to be very favored, but he didn't expect Zhou Huai to be so cold and heartless.

"I'm willing to pay the same price as that Miss Liao." Mo Ziqi said sincerely. He thought Zhou Huai was young, and he was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he spoke directly and clearly, but Zhou Huai didn't want to talk to this subjugated country at all. Prince.

Zhou Huai pursed his lips, and said with a cold expression: "But she didn't pay any price at all."

"In that case, why doesn't Ms. Zhou refuse to help me?" Mo Ziqi smiled wryly, his words sounded like a sigh, and his eyes showed sadness.

"Who made you not a woman?"

Mo Ziqi choked, Zhou Huai was already lazy to talk to him, but collapsed, pricked up his ears, and went to listen to the movement in the room, afraid that there would be some screams coming from inside in the next second, and she would run away before she came. Go in and stop the tragedy from happening.

But after listening for a long time, the room was quiet, but after a while, Liao Qiwei came out safely and soundly. Zhou Huai was taken aback, but he didn't rush into the room immediately to have a look.

"If I don't keep my promise and hurt her, will you regret it?" Liao Qiwei said lightly, but his tone was a bit teasing, and he looked at Zhou Huai with probing eyes.

Zhou Huai looked at her expressionlessly: "I don't know, why don't you try?"

Liao Qi smiled, turned his head to avoid the other party's too calm and indifferent gaze, glanced at Mo Ziqi, and said to Zhou Huai: "I need a helper when I go to Yunzhou, so why not let him stay. Anyway, I If you dare to take in this fugitive, why would you be afraid to take in another subjugated prince?"

Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows, looked between Liao Qiwei and Mo Ziqi, then looked at Fang Shuying who was standing quietly not far away, and finally nodded to Mo Ziqi: "Then stay, and you will do it for Miss Liao in the future." Helper. Shuying, take Mr. Mo to the guest room to rest first."

"Yes." Fang Shuying came over in response, glanced at Liao Qiwei, and silently made a gesture of invitation to Mo Ziqi.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Huai didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "Shuying said, Gongxi Millennium has a very important message, and asked you to tell me?"

"I thought you were going to ask me what I talked about with her in the house."

"That's your business, and you said beforehand that you won't do anything, just want to ask something."

"Is that why you trust me?" Liao Qiwei frowned, seeing that Zhou Huai seemed impatient, he immediately said, "Actually, the message was for the eldest princess, but there was indeed one thing left for me to give to you in person." After Liao Qiwei finished speaking, he took out a five-color bracelet from his bosom.

Zhou Huai took it and took a look. The bracelet was one and a half fingers wide, exquisite and delicate, cold and heavy in the hand, like stone and gold. The most surprising thing is that the five colors are evenly intertwined inside the bracelet, giving people a sense of smoothness. There are four seal characters engraved on each of them: "washing the dirt and washing the heart" and "binding the devil and returning to justice".

Zhou Huai's face darkened, and he asked, "Did he say anything else when he gave this thing?"

Liao Qiwei frowned slightly, with doubts on his face, he said slowly: "He said this bracelet is called a solid soul bracelet. As the name suggests, it has the effect of consolidating soul power. Wearing it by a living person may make the spirit altar clear, but the dead person will be killed. It will be fixed in the body forever and cannot be reincarnated."

Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he carefully discerned the other person's expression. If he didn't seem to be cheating, he sneered and said, "I don't understand, but the material is like colorful stones. He is a good jade carver. Going to be a magic stick?!"

Liao Qiwei pursed his lips and didn't answer, but asked, "You helped me because I'm a woman? After all, it's not worth your help just to help Gongxi pass things on for thousands of years."

Zhou Huai put the bracelet away, and said carelessly, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Liao Qiwei asked persistently: "Then why help the rest of the Xiao family?"

"Do you believe me when I say I want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds?"

"Then I can barely believe it."
