"…"

Shangguan Yi was caught off guard, and his body turned unnatural.

His hands trembled slightly.

"Aiya, don't be so sensitive! I've already said it, I won't discriminate against you."

As she said this, Hua Mujie's mind flashed with the image of a flower hibiscus, a tyrannical CEO man, and a soft yet masculine man. This scene was simply beautiful beyond compare.

If those rotten girls saw it, they would definitely spurt out a pool of blood from their noses.

"This matter, I ask the Empress to keep it in her heart!"

After a long silence, Shangguan Yi finally spoke up.

Hua Mujiao raised an eyebrow, got up from the bed, walked to Shangguan Yi's side, and sat down with both hands under her chin, looking at him steadily.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of woman. However, there must be a condition for me to keep this a secret. As long as you agree to two of my conditions, I guarantee that besides me, there will never be a second person who will know about this. "

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi's lips quivered and her brows furrowed deeply.

"What condition!"

With her success, Hua Mu Jin happily smiled.

"Awesome, it's no wonder you're this young miss' blood brother. As for the conditions, number one, you have to tell me who the senior monk is and where he is. Second, cough … "

As she said this, Hua Mujie lightly coughed, and her eyebrows shot up as her smile became strange.

"As for the second condition, it's very simple. I just want to know, why do you have such a different feeling for me? Is there any reason or opportunity? "

This time, the corners of Shangguan Yi's lips were no longer trembling, and her face darkened.

After Hua Mujiao had exposed the secret hidden deep within his heart, he had already planned to use any means at his disposal to make her rot everything she knew in her stomach.

However, he didn't expect that her conditions would be this unreasonable.

"This general can agree to the first condition. As for the second condition, I'm sorry, but I have no comment to make!"

"Sigh …"

Hua Mu Jin shook his head and sighed.

"Alright, since you're unwilling to say, then I won't force anyone. So, don't blame me for accidentally revealing it to you and bringing it up in front of Bai Zhan Ke."

"You …"

The deal had not been completed, but Hua Mu Jin changed into a threat.

Shangguan Yi was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it.

After enduring for a long time, he finally came to a compromise.

"Okay, this general will agree to your conditions. If a second person finds out about this in the future, this general will not consider the friendship between us siblings and will not be courteous to you! "

Seeing Shangguan Yi admitting defeat, Hua Mujiao was overjoyed.

Although she was not a real rotten girl, she had seen quite a lot of anime from men.

To be able to listen to a real, beautiful man tell his story to another beautiful man was definitely a pleasure for her.

"Ann, Ann, tell me, what did he do to make you fall in love with him?"

Shangguan Yi had thought that Hua Mu Jin would ask about the tall monk first, but she was more interested in her own story than in the monk's matter.

However, he still told her about him and Bai Zhan Ke's childhood.

"This general has been weak since young. In everyone's eyes, I'm not even qualified to be a general. "Because of his words, this general swears that he won't allow anyone to look down on him …"

As Shangguan Yi continued her lecture, Hua Mujiao listened attentively.

They seemed to have reached a tacit agreement, and when he spoke, she nodded.

After half an incense stick of time had passed.

"Handsome, the story of the two of you when you were young, it's enough to write a book. Believe me, it's definitely a best-seller around the world. When the books are combined, it can go one round around the world."

"…"

Shangguan Yi obviously didn't understand Hua Mujiao's words, but she was still confused.

Suddenly, Shangguan Yi seemed to remember something and her expression darkened.

Looking at Hua Mujiao, he said, "He was sincere towards you. I heard about the matter of the pavilion in the imperial garden from Master Hou. From your point of view, he did indeed kiss Imperial Concubine Yi, but the fact is, he didn't."

Shangguan Yi suddenly changed the subject. Before Hua Mujiao could respond, he had already finished.

Displeased, she glanced at him and turned her head away.

"How do you know that he didn't? It's not like you were there, but I was able to see it clearly. He leaned over and kissed Nangong Qianhua!"

After rolling her eyes at Hibiscus vulgaris, Shangguan Yi let out a deep sigh.

"Why can't you think straight out? Believe it or not, this general will not be your peacemaker. "

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute, you still haven't told me about that monk."

Seeing Shangguan Yi about to leave, Hua Mujiao also stood up, asking him about the High Monk.

With both hands on the door, he had no intention of turning around.

"It's getting late, let's talk tomorrow!"

"Creak …"

Seeing the door that was opened and then tightly closed, Hua Mujiao curled her lips, "Shame on you."

She lay on her bed, thinking over Shangguan Yi's words.

'Angle '?

In Hua Mu Jin's mind, the words' borrowing 'and' misplaced 'flashed across.

After the relay station, the formidable army continued on their journey for another four days. Finally, they had crossed the border and entered the Southern Kingdom's territory.

In the past few days, Bai Zhan Ke still hadn't taken the initiative to ask Hua Mujiao for an explanation, and Hua Mujiao also didn't take the initiative to speak to him. The two of them were still in a deadlock.

"Pass down the order to keep everyone on guard."

The terrain of the Southern Kingdom was quite complex, just as Nan Ge had said.

The mountains were the most common.

At the foot of the mountain, everyone was resting, replenishing their water and food.

"Jin'er, are you thirsty?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears.

Hua Mu Jin carefully observed his surroundings, and subconsciously nodded, "A little."

"Have some water."

"Mm, okay, thank you."

After receiving the water, Hua Mu Jin withdrew her gaze. Just as she placed the water bottle in her mouth, her hand suddenly stopped.

Ye Zichen turned around and was stunned when he saw the man beside him.

"You, why are you being so attentive?"

Because she was observing the terrain, she didn't notice that the person who was talking to her was actually Bai Zhan Ke.

For some inexplicable reason, it felt somewhat awkward.

"I'm not concerned about you, I'm concerned about you."

"…"

Because of Shangguan Yi's words, Hua Mujiao had thought that she had misjudged him and misunderstood her.

Although this matter that was stuck in her heart had passed, she was still angry in her heart.

"If this isn't obsequious, then what is? "If you have nothing to offer, then please don't …"

Before Hua Mujiao could finish her words, Bai Zhan suddenly reached out and pulled her to his side, protecting her from behind.

"Don't speak, stay by my side."

At this time, Hua Mu Jin saw that Shangguan Yi and Luo Chen had become alert, their hands all placed on the sword hilt at their waists.

In the next second, countless arrows were shot from the sky towards them.

Hua Mujiao looked at the green bamboo that had been scared stiff and shouted, "Green Bamboo, hurry back to the sedan chair!"

Bai Zhan Ke drew his sword from his waist and released all the arrows, but the two of them were completely unharmed.

After the sharp arrows, countless black-masked assassins flew out from the mountainside, holding bright swords in their hands, attacking towards them.

Because she expected such a thing to happen, Hua Mujiao had already prepared a defensive weapon.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and took out a dagger from her thigh, preparing to engage in battle.

Although the men in black were numerous, they couldn't match the number of the guards. Furthermore, the guards that escorted Shangguan Yi to the southern countries were his and Shangguan Yi's most trusted aides, so their kung fu naturally wouldn't be lacking.

After about half an hour, all of the men in black were taken care of.

"Why aren't these people fighting? This general hasn't had his fill yet, but they've all died."

Shangguan Yi kicked the corpse of the man in black lying on the ground, not forgetting to mutter.

Hua Mujiao looked at the corpses of the black clothed men on the ground, then looked at the guards. Although they were all still alive, some of them were heavily injured.

"No, that's not right. This is just the first wave of assassins sent by the empress dowager. There will definitely be more waves after this. These people were only sent by her to wear out our manpower."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi frowned slightly.

"What you said makes sense. The empress dowager has always wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of the emperor, so she can't just send these cat killers. She must have been completely prepared."

Beside him, Bai Zhan Ke looked at Hua Mu Jin. Seeing that she wasn't hurt, his expression relaxed a bit.

"Jin'er, go to my palanquin first."

She didn't know what Bai Zhan Ke wanted to do, but she was a bit unwilling. However, thinking back to the critical moment, she still walked towards the palanquin that Bai Zhan Ke was riding.

"Empress, are you alright?" "Let this servant see if you are injured."

The green bamboo came out of the sedan chair and went up to check on the hibiscus in fear that she might have hurt something.

"I'm fine. Later on, ride on my palanquin. Remember, if anything happens on the way, there is a mechanism on the right side of the palanquin, press on it. Also, if you didn't hear that I told you to get off the palanquin, you definitely can't come out, understand? "

Looking at the corpses and the blood flowing all over the ground, Green Bamboo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling extremely scared.

"Go to the palanquin and stay there. Put some water and food in there. Go quickly."

Listening to Hua Mu Jin's order, the green bamboo hastily nodded its head.

"Yes, this servant will go now."

Shangguan Yi and Bai Zhan Ke stood side by side, the two of them seemed to be discussing something, Hua Mujiao glanced at them and got on the carriage.

"There are seven injured guards, and five of them are seriously injured. What do you think we should do?"

Bai Zhan Ke raised his gaze, glancing at the imperial bodyguard as he bandaged his wound, a profound look in his eyes.

"Send two guards to escort them back to the stronghold."

"Alright."

Nodding his head, Shangguan Yi had expected Bai Zhan Zhuo to say this, after all, he was famous for caring for his subordinates.

"In addition, send people to quickly deliver the news that we have already entered the borders of the Southern Kingdom to the ears of the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. As expected, the Southern Kingdom will send people over in a few days."

"No problem. I already knew that you would give me this order, so before we set off, I chose a good mount. I can travel thousands of miles in a day."

Shangguan Yi shook his eyebrows proudly, looking very much like a kid who wanted to be praised.
