"Aren't you... afraid when you see those corpses?"

Xiao Jinan looked at her and asked.

Yu Miao didn't expect that he would take the initiative to find topics to talk about with her.

"Of course I am."

"Then why do you insist? From what I know, Qin Shuxiang is not very kind to you. Although you call her mom, she is not your mother."

Yu Miao smiled and said, "I have been without a mother since I was a child. In fact, in my opinion, it is very good that she can do this. Besides, it is just a little scary. As long as you endure it, you can save a life. This deal is a good deal no matter how you calculate it."

Xiao Jinan was silent for a while and said, "You are different from what I imagined."

"Oh? I wonder what kind of person I am in Mr. Xiao's eyes?"

Yu Miao held his chin.

"Looking at your appearance, I would think you are a scheming and cruel person, but in fact, that's not the case."

You are warm, kind, sincere and brave, and have qualities that are much better than your appearance.

"is it?"

Yu Miao touched her cheek. How could it be possible? How could such a beautiful person be so cruel?

But there is one...

"So what do you think of Yu Xin?"

Yu Miao asked tentatively.

"That's why I say you sisters are really weird. The beautiful one is gentle and kind, while the innocent one is thoughtful and thoughtful. If you had half the intelligence of your sister, you wouldn't have gotten yourself into such a mess."

This answer surprised Yu Miao very much.

Logically speaking, they are in a master-disciple relationship, and Yu Xin's piano skills are indeed one in a million. Even if Xiao Jinan doesn't like him, he wouldn't give such a low evaluation.

What's more, he is her male partner...

"So, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Mr. Xiao can get to know him slowly."

The moon was high in the sky, and Yu Miao saw that a long time must have passed.

Why hasn’t Mother Qin come yet?

"I want to go find Mother Qin."

"I go with you."

Xiao Jinan picked up Yu Miao by the waist because he thought she was too slow.

"Since we are already fiancées, this will be faster."

Of course Yu Miao had no objection. He didn’t have to leave by himself and could still stick around.

She leaned her head on Xiao Jinan's arms.

Xiao Jinan's body stiffened slightly, and then he took Yu Miao over.

From Yu Miao's perspective, he could just see Xiao Jinan's clear jawline, which was tense under the soft moonlight, and his eyes were firm and powerful.

What surprised her, though, was that he seemed to know where to go.

There is no need to look for it, it's like having a radar in your head.

When Xiao Jinan saw Qin Shuxiang's body, he subconsciously blocked Yu Miao's view with his hand.

"what happened?"

Yu Miao thought he was caught being lazy.

I thought to myself, he can’t be so stingy. Didn’t he say they were an engaged couple just a second ago?

"Qin Shuxiang is dead, do you want to see it?"

"..."

Yu Miao was confused for a moment. Qin Shuxiang was dead?

"Didn't she say she was coming here to look for something?"

How could he die?

She saw with her own eyes Yu Xin taking Hong Ling away from the mass grave. Could there be someone else here?

Xiao Jinan put her in a relatively clean place and went forward to check.

What comes to mind after taking a few steps.

He met Yu Miao's bright eyes, walked to her side and covered her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Not suitable for you to watch."

Xiao Jinan's calm voice sounded, and Yu Miao came back to his senses.

Just now, when Xiao Jinan placed his cold fingertips on her forehead, she was startled at first, but then she felt cool and comfortable.

He didn't react until he had covered his eyes.

"...Oh." Yu Miao responded.

Xiao Jinan didn't know what was wrong with him today. He always meddled in other people's business.

He walked quickly forward and checked Qin Shuxiang's body.

There was no serious injury, the sword killed him.

It seems that the other party has found what they want.

Xiao Jinan pushed Qin Shuxiang's fingers apart, and there were some remnants of the pendant buckle on his palm.

Snow-white fox fur.

I came here at the wrong time. That group of people probably heard my footsteps and left in a hurry.

His eyes fell on the wound on Qin Shuxiang's abdomen.

It was obviously not caused by the previous wave of people. There was medicine powder mixed on the wound, which looked like a thin layer of frost under the moonlight.

Ignoring the mixed blood, Xiao Jinan stretched out his fingers, twisted them, and put them under his nose.

It is a top-grade medicine.

He looked at Yu Miao with an inquiring gaze.

He didn't think that a barefoot doctor could produce such good powder.

As if sensing something, Yu Miao asked, "What's wrong? How is the situation?"

Xiao Jinan used another handkerchief to cover the bloody wound on Qin Shuxiang's neck.

"Nothing special."

"Oh."

Yu Miao smelled the faint fragrance on him and her nostrils twitched slightly like a little rabbit.

The first thing he did when he opened the handkerchief was: "Are you hurt? I smell a hint of blood."

"The nose is quite sharp."

Yu Miao did not deny it either.

I saw Qin Shuxiang’s face.

It didn't look very real in the night, just like an ordinary person who was sleeping due to overwork.

She really couldn't connect the person in front of her with the person who had just stood in front of her alive.

My heart was filled with a wave of pain.

"Some things are destined. Qin Shuxiang is destined to not escape this disaster. You can't force it."

Xiao Jinan said lightly on the side.

Is he... comforting her?

"I forgot that Master Xiao is not only an excellent zither player, but also an excellent Taoist priest."

Xiao Jinan pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

"What were you looking for just now? Is it something that Mother Qin was willing to take the risk to find?"

"I'm trying to confirm whether that thing has fallen into the hands of others."

No denial.

Yu Miao opened her lips, unsure whether her question was crossing the line.

"Ask whatever you want to ask."

After getting his permission, Yu Miao spoke: "Can you tell me what this thing is?"

Xiao Jinan didn't want to hide it from her.

"Qin Shuxiang holds a military token that can mobilize 50 million soldiers and horses."

Fifty million military horses?

Yu Miao was shocked when he heard the number.

No matter what, Qin Shuxiang is just the female manager of a red building. How could she have something like a military talisman on her?

Fifty million soldiers and horses are a military force that cannot be underestimated whether it is for foreign expeditions or overthrowing the imperial power. How could the emperor allow this thing to be stranded outside?

Thinking of this, Yu Miao suddenly remembered what Xiao Jinan said to her, "Do you know who she is? Is it worth it for you to come here?"

"Do you know...Qin Shuxiang's identity?"

Xiao Jinan took her back. This place had been exposed and was not a good place to talk.

Seeing that he did not answer and did not urge him, Yu Miao felt inexplicably at ease following him.
