Chapter 220

Hearing this, Sui Shan's half drooping eyes trembled imperceptibly.

This subtle air reaction never escaped Wu Tsung's eyes.

His lips straightened slightly.

It seems that his guess is indeed in the right direction.

It was not the work of mountain bandits, nor had it anything to do with the imperial court, nor was it a dispute of interests with outsiders - the mastermind came from the Wu clan.

Even, it is likely to be one of those familiar families around him.

At present, it is confirmed from Sui Shan's reaction that he is a step closer to the truth, but he doesn't feel relieved at all. Instead, he feels that the string at the bottom of his heart is tighter——

He knew from an early age that he could not be credulous to others, and he could not only look at things superficially, but in his eyes, the close families around him were trustworthy.

But the fact... Is not necessarily so.

Seeing that Sui Shan still refused to speak, Wu Tsui took another step closer to him.

"What I'm more curious about now is, why didn't you do it to me at that time? Was it because Xu Jiajun came so timely that you missed the opportunity to do it, or did you really regret and waver at the last step?

Or do you have other calculations and trade-offs, want to leave a way for yourself, just want to get out as soon as possible, and don't want to be really involved in this vortex? "

If the other party doesn't tell the truth again, he can only consider letting Xu girl in.

Listening to these words, Sui Shan summoned up the courage to raise his eyes and looked at the boy for a moment. At that time, his eyes seemed to be redder.

He moved the corners of his mouth and smiled a little bleak.

Well

Anyway, for now, no matter how he chooses, the result is the same.

As a dying man, why should he stick to the so-called oath.

What's more, childe is always different from others.

Considering this, most of the people who have been tortured for many days suddenly disintegrated - he didn't want the childe to believe that he was such a vicious, shameless and shameless traitor.

Even if he did betray the childe.

But

"My subordinates did act under orders... But from beginning to end, my subordinates never wanted to kill the childe." Sui Shan said in a dumb voice.

He is a cold-blooded dark guard who kills people without blinking an eye, but in recent years, the childe has never regarded him and Suijiang as a killing tool.

He knew from an early age that he was going to be sent to his dead sun. Day and night, the most edification he received was to protect Shisun - fulfilling this sentence has long become his instinct.

Later, it became the bottom line he wanted to keep from his heart - the childe's life was his bottom line!

If the original plan was to kill the childe, he would be dead and would never listen!

In his sentence, there are too many things worth pondering. At first glance, Wu Tsui's expression has a brief stagnation.

However, when he spoke, his voice became more and more calm: "what are all the plans?" "my subordinates don't know..." Sui Shan said: "at the beginning, my subordinates only knew that they should cooperate to create the illusion that the bandits intended to kill the childe's life. As for other subordinates, they didn't know..." such an important thing, it was impossible to disclose all the plans to him.

In this plan, he is just a trivial chess piece in the link of Childe's entry to Beijing. "But if Xu Jiajun didn't arrive, what was your plan and how would it end?" Wu Tsui asked again.

Sui Shan shook his head slowly.

"My subordinates don't know this, but I think there must be other arrangements..."

Wu Chiu looked at him and asked, "who arranged all this?"

Sui Shan said in a low voice: "the childe has guessed, hasn't he..."

Childe is careful and sharp. How can you not guess when you have said this.

Wu Tsui slightly clenched his fingers.

The answer has indeed been explained by Sui Shan - hidden in his sentence "follow orders".

In such a large Dingnan palace, there is only one master who Sui Shan really needs to obey.

But why on earth?

Sui Shan claimed that he didn't know all the plans and how he would have been arranged... From the beginning to the end, he was the one who was kept in the dark.

If there is any crucial plan, if the intention is not to sacrifice his life, why can't we speak to him?

Of course, all this is based on the premise that what Sui Shan said is the truth——

And he never believed anyone or anything.

"In the final analysis, this is just one side of your story." the dark four times set off the young man's originally cold eyebrows and eyes more coldly, and his voice seemed to be cold: "if you are instructed by others, your words at the moment may not be deliberately provoking discord."

"My subordinates know they can't provoke or deceive the childe..." Sui Shan said with difficulty: "people who are about to die, why do you play with such meaningless means."

While talking, he raised his head with difficulty and said, "if you don't believe it, your subordinates have overheard a clue... You may try to check it..."

"What's the clue?" Wu Tsun looked calm.

"On that day, my subordinates heard a half sentence when they left... From that half sentence, it seems that the plan has something to do with Qizhen courtyard. Maybe there is some secret in Qizhen courtyard..."

Qizhen hospital?

Wu Tsung frowned thoughtfully.

I don't know how many courtyards there are in Dingnan palace. He thought for a moment before he remembered where Qizhen courtyard was.

If he remembers correctly, this Qizhen courtyard is the courtyard where his late great aunt and former Princess Yan lived before she left the cabinet.

From his memory, it seemed that no one was allowed to go in and out of the yard easily. Only one servant in charge of cleaning would go in and out occasionally, and he was locked the rest of the time.

He had seen his grandmother go in, but she only told him to wait outside and didn't allow him to follow in.

When his grandmother came out, he saw that the corners of her eyes were red. It must be because he missed his long dead eldest daughter.

But -- what's the secret in this yard?

Wu Tsun had doubts. He still needed to think about whether to go and see if there would be another trap.

He looked at Sui Shan again and asked, "since you have escaped, why don't you just hide away?"

This was also one of the doubts he had not figured out.

At the beginning, Mr. Fang found the trace of suspected suishan three hundred miles outside Ningyang city. It was not nearly three hundred miles, but according to the degree of caution of suishan, it was still too careless.

Of course, even so, if Mr. Fang is absent, he may not be able to find people.

"My subordinates have been as careful as possible, but they are still too self righteous... I didn't think it was discovered by the childe..."

Wu Tsui did not believe it.

Not exactly.

"Is that all?"

"..." Sui Shan pulled the corners of his mouth feebly.

It's more than that.
