Chapter 222： August night cinnamon

Chapter 222 August Night Osmanthus

"The evening clouds gather to overflow the cold, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently. This life and this night will not grow well, where will the bright moon look next year."

Unknowingly, Ruan Youqing thought of this poem.

This life and this night are not good, where will the bright moon look next year.

I only hope... next year, there will be such a bright moon and... Gu Changan.

At this time, Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan have already arrived at the good place to enjoy the moon that Gu Changan said.

On a small hill outside the capital.

The small hill is not too high, and it didn’t take long for the two of them to climb to the top and overlook the capital city under the moonlight.

The imperial palace is located far away in the light of bits and pieces, shining like stars in the dark night.

"It's late at night, but there are still so many people who haven't fallen asleep?" Ruan Youqing looked at the magnificent scene in front of him, and after a flash of amazement flashed across his face, he asked softly in surprise.

Gu Changan was standing beside her, and his brows and eyes were as dark as the night.

"Life is full of suffering. So, in order to dispel these pains, people subconsciously like to be lively. When it is lively, you can temporarily forget your troubles. Mid-Autumn Festival is also a day for family reunion, just like New Year's Eve. The curfew will be lifted at such a time in the capital, and it will last all night. It's just for... the rare excitement."

Ruan Youqing should have fallen into her own bitter memories because of his words, but she didn't at this time.

In her eyes, Gu Changan's figure could not be driven away no matter how hard she tried.

After Gu Changan finished speaking, he found that the people around him were still. When he turned his head to look at her, he felt that the soft and delicate hand of the other party suddenly held his own.

"Is there something on your mind?" Ruan Youqing asked subconsciously.

Straightforward, without any twists and turns.

Even Gu Changan, who is good at manipulating people's hearts, was caught by her sudden question.

Is there anything on your mind?

mind... may or may not have...

After all, he deserves to be happier than everyone in this world.

With the love of the elders and the trust of the king.

One side of the world let him break free.

Only…

Only he is not accompanied by his parents.

He doesn't remember the memories before he was two years old, so he doesn't remember what his parents looked like either.

In the past few decades of his life, he has only this regret.

And those things that he encountered growing up...he learned early on not to take it to heart.

In other words, some have already received the punishment they deserved.

Just…

It's just that although his grandfather and grandmother treated him well, there are some differences after all.

Behind the glamor and brilliance, there will always be sadness that others cannot see.

Ruan Youqing asked him if he was worried...

Gu Changan's originally silent heart dispelled the darkness like a breeze.

"I don't have anything on my mind. If I have to say it, then my mind is probably all about you. I'm wondering if I can marry you home in advance."

"Master Gu is always glib!" Ruan Youqing turned his back, and the tenderness just now dissipated instantly.

The moonlight streams down, and the night wind blows the scent of unknown flowers on the mountain.

"Don't move." Gu Changan suddenly approached Ruan Youqing, his voice was very low.

After feeling Gu Changan's temperature, Ruan Youqing froze instantly.

Gu Changan gently leaned into her ear and murmured something in a low voice.

At this moment, Ruan Youqing's body finally relaxed.

The two people hugged each other, very charming.

At the same time, the bushes on the top of the mountain rustled with the night wind.

Someone leaned down and quickly attacked Ruan Youqing and the other two.

The two who were still embracing each other just now greeted each other in two directions with a tacit understanding.

Someone who wants to sneak attack, naturally cannot escape the keen insight of Gu Changan and Ruan Youqing.

Because when Gu Changan found someone dormant in the dark, he moved to Ruan Youqing's side and told her in a romantic way.

Ruan Youqing, who woke up from the love between children in time, also immediately realized that something was wrong, and took advantage of the situation to hug Gu Changan.

The two reacted like this, so they naturally deceived the killer in the dark.

It's just... The killer who suddenly appeared this time was not something they had encountered before.

The killer is agile and extremely ruthless when attacking.

Helpless, they faced Gu Changan and Ruan Youqing.

The two fought against the enemy together, without any communication, but they understood each other's eyes.

At this moment, a dark cloud covered the bright moon, and the night sky became dark and mysterious.

The killers suddenly became faster and their movements became more deadly.

Ruan Youqing and Gu Chang'an originally wanted to stay alive to investigate each other's origins, but the opponent's desperate fight forced them to attack and defend with all their hearts.

More than a dozen figures rose and fell in the darkness, some fell down, and some were still desperately trying.

At the end, when there was only one killer left, Ruan Youqing turned to look at Gu Changan.

Gu Changan immediately understood what she meant, and the two launched an attack together. After the remaining killer escaped a few tricks by chance, he was forced to the edge of the cliff before he knew it. At this moment, he also gradually realized that the strength in his body seemed to be taken away bit by bit.

"You...have been poisoned?" The killer finally spoke, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan stood side by side, Ruan Youqing looked over coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me who instigated it, and we can walk around you without dying."

The killer gave a weird laugh, and when he lowered his head, he saw a deep bone-deep wound on his left hand.

He instantly understood where the poison came from.

At the next moment, the killer chopped off his injured left hand with a knife, and the blood flowed like a fountain, staining the grass red.

Then he moved and wanted to escape.

Seeing this, Ruan Youqing rushed over immediately.

As a result... a scene that shocked her happened.

When the killer saw Ruan Youqing rushing over, he suddenly changed the direction of his escape and rushed towards the cliff.

Although this mountain is not high, you will still die if you jump off it.

The killer laughed wildly, and jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.

By the time Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan arrived at the edge of the cliff, it was already too late.

"He really jumped..." Ruan Youqing frowned, leaned forward and looked down.

Helplessly, the night is too dark, and only endless black shadows can be seen.

"He will definitely die. Under this cliff, there is a rocky beach." Gu Changan's voice at this time was still cold.

After all, it was hard to bring Ruan Youqing out to enjoy the quiet time that only belonged to two people.

Happened to be disturbed.

Gu Changan, who was on the verge of rage, was still surrounded by hostility.

"Can you tell where these people are from?" Ruan Youqing asked again.

Gu Changan took a deep breath, and after calming down, he first sent out a signal belonging to him into the night sky, and then he said: "Looking at their martial arts just now, they don't look like people from Ningguo."

"You mean...it was sent by those messengers? But...it would be too reckless to act at this time."

"It doesn't have to be reckless, it could be... arrogance."

Ruan Youqing's complexion gradually became gloomy, and countless guesses arose in her mind, but in the end she denied them one by one.

"Go and see what's on these corpses." Ruan Youqing frowned, turned and walked towards the corpses lying on the grass.

However, after taking two steps, she was held back by Gu Chang'an.
