After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"You should know better than me that Chu Ran has a secret room in his northwest mansion. And in this secret room, there is a box, a box containing a map of the mine's secret passage."

"You know everything about Chu Ran, and you will surely tell Emperor Shun everything. But why did Emperor Shun hide this secret from Huo Yan and not reveal even a single word? And why did he let him find the secret passage on his own and catch everyone in the mine?"

"Why on earth did he do that?"

The Black-Faced God stared at her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "How did you know all this? I didn't expect you to be so smart and able to see through such a confidential matter. It was me... who underestimated you."

Before he finished speaking, the Black-Faced God suddenly flashed and turned over quickly like a ghost. Then, he snatched the dagger from Su Ruanruan's hand with lightning speed.

The Black-Faced God took the dagger in his hand, examined it carefully, and then scanned Su Ruanruan several times with a cold gaze. Finally, he waved his arm and mercilessly threw the sharp dagger into the abyss.

Seeing the dagger disappear from sight, Su Ruanruan's expression changed instantly, "How could you..."

His face, which was originally as cold as an iceberg, unexpectedly showed a hint of smile, but this smile made people shudder. "I never thought that I would be moved by a woman. But now you know my true identity, so no matter what, I must get rid of you before Chu Ran arrives."

Faced with such a tense situation and the threat of death, Su Ruanruan was extremely calm and composed, without any panic. She just said calmly, "Just die, it's just a body. But before you die, can you answer my questions?"

After a moment of silence, the Black-Faced God slowly spoke, "In fact, your majesty has long noticed that the Prince of Zhennan has ulterior motives. The reason why he still keeps him is that he wants to use him to balance the forces in the court. Even though he is far away in Jiangnan, the power he controls behind him cannot be underestimated."

"In fact, His Majesty has always wanted Prince Yi to be the crown prince. However, the Huo family behind Prince Yi has made outstanding contributions. The Huo family has been a military general for hundreds of years and has made great military achievements for Emperor Shun. As a result, some remote places only know about the Huo family but not the king."

"The emperor has long been wary of this, and is even more worried that the emperor's relatives will become more powerful after Prince Yi ascends the throne."

At this point, the Black-Faced God paused for a moment, and then continued, "The account books of the mines are delivered to the Zhennan Palace on time every year. But these account books have all been tampered with and forged by me without exception."

"The Prince of Zhennan would burn the account books after reading them, and never keep any copies. The real account books have long been sent to Your Majesty. Your Majesty originally wanted to settle accounts with Huo Yan after dealing with the Prince of Zhennan and take away his military power."

"But it just so happened that there was a fire in the Summer Palace and a lot of things were burned, including those account books."

Su Runruan knew about the fire in the Summer Palace. It was said that Emperor Shun was very angry at that time and killed many palace maids and eunuchs in the fire.

It turned out that his anger was caused by this.

But what does the mine’s account book have to do with Huo Yan?

Su Ruanruan's eyelids twitched, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, "How much silver should be in the account book?"

The Black-Faced God couldn't help but admire Su Ruanruan's wit. She could see the crux of the problem so easily.

"Five million taels of silver." He replied softly.

Hearing this number, Su Ruanruan pursed her lips. As far as she knew, the silver that the Huo family army escorted back to Beijing was only 4.5 million taels.

So, where did the missing 500,000 taels of silver go?

Could it be that Huo Yan embezzled the money secretly?

Emperor Shun attached so much importance to this account book because he wanted to make a fuss about the 500,000 taels of silver. No matter where Huo Yan used the money, as long as he concealed it, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

But Emperor Shun knew everything, but still set this trap and let Huo Yan fall into it step by step.

But why was he so sure that Huo Yan would use that money?

The black-faced god drew out a sharp sword from his waist with a gloomy face. The sword body flashed with cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Su Ruanruan's delicate body.

There was a hint of pity in his deep eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He was a cold-blooded killing tool who followed orders. He should never have feelings for anyone, especially not indulge in Su Ruanruan's beauty fragrance.

As Chu Ran's personal bodyguard, he had naturally fought against Huo Yan. Although he was able to draw with the powerful Niu Mang and the agile Jin Yu, he could not beat Huo Yan.

That night in the hot spring pool, he was about to leave, but Su Ruanruan whispered a few words in his ear, which were like a fire, igniting the long-dormant desire to win in his heart. So, not long after leaving, he unexpectedly turned back the way he came.

It was this look back that made him fall deeply in love with this land of gentleness and unable to extricate himself, and also left a flaw that allowed Su Runrun to recognize his true identity.

At this moment of facing the life and death decision, Su Runrun did not show the fear and panic that a dying person should have. She just stared quietly at the black-faced god holding a sharp blade in front of her.

"In the next life, I hope you can be born into an ordinary family." As soon as the words fell, the black-faced god suddenly raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at Su Ruanruan.

Instantly, a crisp sound was heard, followed by a sharp pain. The Black-Faced God looked down at his chest in astonishment. He didn't know when something had pierced through his chest! His black robe was quickly stained red with blood...

He stretched out his trembling fingers, trying to touch the shocking red color in front of him, but wherever his fingertips reached was only scarlet.

Su Ruanruan silently put away the gun in her hand and stared at the shocked man in front of her. He fell backward uncontrollably and lost all support.

A small object rolled out of him.

Su Ruanruan slowly approached, squatted down, and picked up the exquisite little box that slipped out of his sleeve. When she opened it, she saw a box of scented rouge inside.

"For me?" Su Ruanruan asked.

The black-faced god's eyes were unfocused and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

He bought this box of rouge a long time ago. He carried it with him every day but never took it out.

He didn't want to admit that he was attracted to Su Ruanruan physically first and then emotionally. He was trained to be a cold killing tool since he was a child, and he shouldn't have any feelings.

Every night of passionate love and affection with her, the narrow bed curtain gave him the warmth he had never experienced in many years.

Holding her tightly in his arms, he felt that he was not a cold and heartless tool, but a real living person.

Thinking back to the time in the northwest, her eyes were covered with black cloth, her hands were gently placed on his wrists, and she let him lead her forward. The night wind brought a hint of coolness, but the temperature of her palms was as warm and pleasant as the sun.

The emotions deep in his heart surged like the tide, making him involuntarily want to get closer to this special woman.

He raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to touch Su Ruanruan's delicate face for the last time. He told her in a weak voice, "My name is Xu...Nanfeng."

"Don't...don't try to find out the truth about the night you lost your memory, otherwise...you...you will regret it."

"I like……"

Before he could finish this sentence, his breath gradually became weaker.

When he was a child, his hometown suffered from severe famine. In desperation, he could only follow his mother and brother to leave his hometown and beg along the way.

However, fate was cruel. His mother unfortunately fell ill and passed away, and his brother was separated from him without a trace.

In order to survive, he had to fight with children who were taller than him, and even desperately snatch food from the mouths of vicious dogs.

Until one day, fate seemed to have a chance to change. A stranger on horseback suddenly stopped in front of him and handed him a soft steamed bun. He had just taken a bite from the vicious dog. The steamed bun was simply the best delicacy for him, the most delicious thing he had tasted since he started wandering.

The man asked him if he was willing to follow him and leave, and he nodded without hesitation. However, he did not expect that this decision would lead him into another terrible nightmare.

There were a hundred children gathered there, and every day they had to fight for their lives. As time went by, the number of companions who had slept with him on the same bed became fewer and fewer.

This place seems like a hell on earth, filled with endless fighting, pain and blood...

If you want to survive in this world, you must give up your emotions. After many thrilling life-and-death struggles, only two people survived and transformed into new dragon guards.

At this moment, the blue sky in front of me gradually became hazy, and the beautiful figure also gradually became blurred.

The corners of Xu Nanfeng's mouth slightly raised with a relieved smile.

He left the world with regrets, but he finally found relief at the end of his life.

However, fate played a trick on him, and he never expected that he would die at the hands of the woman who made his heart beat so fast.

Perhaps, this is his destined ending.

Su Ruanruan stood quietly there, the corners of her clothes lifted by the howling wind from the cliff.

She looked into the distance and saw the sunset like a colorful golden painting slowly spreading across the vast sky.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the steep and rugged cliffs, covering them with a layer of dazzling golden gauze, and the scene is spectacular.

Su Ruanruan gently turned the acacia bean bracelet in her hand, and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. She turned around calmly...

……

When Huo Yan, Su Tinghan and others hurried over, what they saw was the pitiful appearance of Su Ruanruan curled up beside the carriage.

There were a few drops of bright red blood on her body, and her body was trembling slightly, obviously frightened.

The scene around her was horrific. There were several corpses lying on the ground and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Su Tinghan quickly got off the horse and hurried to Su Ruanruan to check her condition carefully. When he saw that she only had some scratches on her forehead and the blood on her body was not from her, he felt relieved.

At the same time, Huo Yan rode on the fierce wind. His deep and sharp eyes scanned the corpses like a hawk, as if trying to find some clues from them.

Finally, his gaze rested on Su Ruanruan, as if he was thinking about something.

Zi Wu's face was as pale as paper, tears streaming down her face. She rushed straight to Su Ruanruan and hugged her tightly.

"Master, are you okay? I was scared to death!" Ziwu asked in a crying voice.

Su Ruanruan heard Zi Wu's call and came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. When she saw Zi Wu standing in front of her unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay..."

Zi Wu sobbed softly as she told Su Ruanruan what had happened. "My servant and the driver were unfortunately knocked unconscious and abducted. After we woke up, we desperately cried for help. Fortunately, Prince Su and General Huo found us."

Su Ruanruan said softly, "Thank you, Master Su, for your help." As she spoke, she nodded slightly.

Then, she slowly raised her head and cast her gaze towards Huo Yan, who was riding a tall horse with an upright posture not far away.

She took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, General Huo..."

Huo Yan raised his lips slightly, staring at her with a half-smile, as if he could see through everything. He asked softly, "I wonder what happened here?"
