After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

When Xie Nanxing and Han Zhou looked at each other, the watery light in their eyes looked like small moons.

"Xie Nanxing, I..."

Han Zhou lowered his head to avoid Xie Nanxing's gaze: "I just want an answer, I just want to know the truth."

"I…I didn't want his life."

Han Zhou lied.

At least the moment he left the Marquis Zhongqin's Mansion, he wanted Shen Jinmo to pay with his life.

But Xie Nanxing didn't want to dwell on whether this statement was true or false.

He expressed his resentment in a restrained, complaining voice:

"You all know that you won't get an answer, but you still insist on asking Shen Jinmo why he killed the Master."

"You guys, aren't you relying on the fact that you are on the side of justice, that you dare to hold the omnipotent sword of morality and slaughter Shen Jinmo repeatedly?"

"Isn't it that you guys are relying on the fact that Shen Jinmo doesn't fight back when you hit him or scold him?"

Pursing her lips, she lowered her head and said in a lighter voice: "All of you can do nothing but bully Shen Jinmo."

Xie Nanxing is blaming Han Zhou, but Xie Nanxing, you are blaming more than just Han Zhou.

Xie Nanxing, how can I not feel guilty?

Han Zhou raised his head and forced all the blood and tears in his eyes back into his eyes: "Xie Nanxing, you still blame me."

"But even if you blame me, I still want to tell you."

"It is a fact that Shen Jinmo killed Master with his own hands. As Master's disciple, I should seek justice for him."

He chuckled softly: "I personally overturned Shen Jinmo's case, and I personally convicted the Grand Tutor of treason. Are you going to kill me too?"

Without saying a word, Han Zhou glanced sideways at Xie Nanxing, then leaned against the tree trunk again.

"Han Zhou, if my husband had a second way to go, would he take this one?"

In this world, Xie Nanxing felt that the person who was least likely to misunderstand Shen Jinmo was Han Zhou.

How can we work together if we have different ideas?

This is how Xie Nanxing feels about the country. How could the husband she chose be a treacherous minister who wants to bring unrest to the country?

Xie Nanxing was the only one who would protect Shen Jinmo without any reservation, and Xie Nanxing was the only one who wanted Shen Jinmo to live.

Anyone else would choose to sacrifice Shen Jinmo at a certain moment.

So is the Grand Tutor, and so is Princess Pingnan.

It cannot be said that they don't love Shen Jinmo, it can only be said that the burden they carry on their shoulders is heavier than the love for one person.

Shen Jinmo himself is also such a person.

"Xie Nanxing, no matter how helpless he is, he can't kill anyone."

Han Zhou gave in.

But the person he unconditionally protected and forgave was Xie Nanxing.

Even when Han Zhou heard that Wu Cixiu's crime was determined by Xie Nanxing himself, his heart trembled.

He subconsciously felt that Xie Nanxing just wanted to keep the love of his heart for him.

Xie Nanxing is right.

Just as in Xie Nanxing's heart, Shen Jinmo was not wrong.

Xie Nanxing smiled lazily and leaned against the tree trunk.

"Han Zhou, this is the Divine Capital, not the Eastern Territory."

"The enemy and us in the East Territory are clear. They are enemies. You kill them with your silver spear. Once you kill them all, you win."

"The capital of the gods is a place where anyone who is in a higher position will die."

"The capital of the gods is also the only place where you may not win if you are alive, but you may not lose if you die."

After not seeing each other for over a year, Han Zhou realized once again that even if he became a young general with a great reputation, even if he could command thousands of troops, he still seemed unable to protect Xie Nanxing in the capital.

What exactly can he do to protect Xie Nanxing's peace?

"Han Zhou, do you know why the emperor wants to summon you back to the capital now?"

Since Xie Nanxing asked, the answer must not be what Han Zhou had in mind.

"I don't know."

"The notice has been issued, and the people have calmed down. What we need to do now is to make the people of this world go from disbelief to trust."

“Han Zhou, you are also a chess piece on this chessboard, and the value of this chess piece is that you are the starting point, destroying the Taifu in the hearts of the people.”

Han Zhou suddenly exerted force on his hands that were supporting himself on the ground, and his fingertips penetrated into the soil that had been soaked by the spring rain not long ago.

Wu Cixiu only accepted two disciples in his life. One of them wanted to kill him, and the other one wanted to destroy his reputation.

Xia Hong is too cruel.

"Do you know why Shen Jinmo suddenly wanted to kill someone even though he clearly didn't want to?"

Han Zhou smiled bitterly. How could Han Zhou, who kept Xie Nanxing in his heart, not see the hidden meaning?

Shen Jinmo didn't want Xie Nanxing to see his best friend turning his weapon against her husband.

Shen Jinmo didn't want Xie Nanxing to hear such questions coming from Han Zhou's mouth.

"Han Zhou, I don't blame you. I just feel sorry for Shen Jinmo."

Xie Nanxing admitted his blame and complaints.

Every time someone questioned Shen Jinmo about Wu Cixiu's death, Xie Nanxing felt more heartbroken.

"Xie Nanxing, I'm sorry."

Han Zhou was very sorry for making Xie Nanxing uncomfortable.

But Shen Jinmo killed the Grand Tutor, and this is a hurdle that Han Zhou can never overcome.

Today he is not as skilled as others and cannot kill Shen Jinmo. One day, he will definitely make Shen Jinmo pay back this debt.

But Han Zhou no longer wants Shen Jinmo's life.

How could Xie Nanxing not understand what Han Zhou was thinking?

There is no such thing as empathy in this world. Han Zhou cannot sympathize with Shen Jinmo's suffering.

"You broke into Xie's house today and pointed directly at Shen Jinmo. The people of Shendu saw it, and that means that the Grand Tutor was indeed framed."

"You have disrupted the chess game now. You should think about how to escape, not how to make Shen Jinmo pay with his life."

Han Zhou thought of what Xia Hong had said to him in the palace today, and alarm bells began to ring in his heart.

This chess piece of his did not bring disgrace upon Wu Cixiu, but instead made the king dissatisfied. His situation after the battle in the East Territory was actually a clear move.

Xia Hong doesn't want him to live.

He couldn't even save his own life, how could he protect Xie Nanxing?

Pretending to be relaxed, he said, "The war in the East Territory is still unresolved. The Emperor will definitely not touch me now."

"When I win the Eastern Territory, I will be a meritorious official when I return to the Divine Capital. Don't worry about me."

Xie Nanxing supported himself on the tree trunk and stood up from the ground: "Han Zhou, you have your own answer to whether what you said is true or not, but I still say the same thing, I hope you return safely."

Shen Jinmo walked towards Xie Nanxing, took Xie Nanxing into his arms, and walked towards the main courtyard.

About half a cup of tea later, Han Zhou was carried by the servants of the Xie Mansion and thrown directly to the door of the Xie Mansion.

It was so quiet all around that the sound of the door closing was louder than usual.

Han Zhou lay on the cold blue bricks, looking up at the full moon in the sky as it climbed across the zenith and then moved towards the direction of the sunrise.

The king is beyond salvation, the mountains and rivers cannot accommodate him, so Han Zhou must save himself.
