The villain has been playing badly for ten years
Chapter 102 Threats vs. Cooperation
The Mr. Mo she was talking about must be that Yanren...
After a while, Ning Xiusu raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and there was a jade-like luster in his cold eyes.
"It seems you really aren't Hu Xiaoxiao, but You Lai, who has recovered all his memories. Perhaps you also know something about the Three Flower Palace?"
"I once used the alias Meng Ke to sneak into the Three Flowers Temple in order to retrieve the stolen Yanjia blueprints, but that place was completely out of the ordinary and beyond common sense."
Hu Xiaoxiao continued talking, and suddenly paused as if she was recalling something terrible.
"I failed, so I was doused with red water every day. They tampered with my memory."
"I see," Ning Xiusu said slowly, "So you've been helping that Yanren all along? That's why he went to the Forbidden Palace to save you."
"I'm not acting for anyone, Mr. Mo, but I have the same goal as you."
"What purpose?"
"For the welfare of tens of millions of people."
A solitary lamp swayed faintly, casting mottled light and shadows, illuminating Hu Xiaoxiao's extremely beautiful profile, but without a trace of vanity.
Ning Xiusu understood what he meant and thought of Meng Qilian's question.
On the day of the fire, he mentioned the outskirts of the city and said that there were traces of evil people, but on that day, Hu Xiaoxiao happened to appear.
As if he suddenly understood something, his eyes passed over Hu Xiaoxiao and naturally fell on the swaying candlelight.
"There must be someone else distributing rice and porridge under the guise of a snake fairy. Maybe it was someone else that day."
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright and her pearly teeth were slightly parted.
"Why do you infer this, Your Majesty?"
He gathered up his frosty sleeves, stood up, and analyzed:
"The Yangluo fruit has a strong scent, which can just cover up the mineral scent of the Yan people. Plus, the refugees are almost all mermaids. If they blend in with them, the people from the Privy Council will definitely have a hard time finding them."
Hu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelashes slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes, but the dangerous look was quickly replaced by gentleness.
Seeing her silence, Ning Xiusu frowned slightly, "You're silent, so I guessed right. Maybe I should ask you directly about the fire in the government office."
"Is it important?"
Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly said something without any logic.
"Could it be that you have already been involved in the mine incident?"
"We did provide the pill formula to Tongshan Dojo."
Ning Xiusu seemed a little tired and asked, "What do you and that Yanren want to do? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"I said, we are doing this for our people."
She looked at him, her gentle eyes full of determination, as if everything was natural.
Ning Xiusu said calmly, "My clan? The mermaids now live in peace and tranquility in Dayan. There's no need for war again."
"Your Highness, mermaids live in both the north and the south. There are only one or two groups living in Dayan City. You have seen how many people have been displaced in Nanzhao alone."
Ning Xiusu said, "There are so many refugees in this world. What can we change by cooperating with evil forces?"
Hu Xiaoxiao took a step forward and said coldly:
"The Human Emperor has always been tyrannical and unjust. No matter who holds that position, they will only leave the bones of their people piled up... What if we hold the power?"
A dark light flickered in Ning Xiusu's dark eyes, which were filled with fatigue and coldness.
"I can't control what you want to do...but don't think about attacking Hanami."
His tone didn't sound like one of persuasion at all, which made people feel terrified.
Hu Xiaoxiao's soft, crescent-shaped eyes looked at him, merging into a thick black, which was indeed threatening.
"It seems that the Flower Guard is very important to the prince."
He didn't know Hu Xiaoxiao, but he often heard Hua Jianbai talking about her. But this person... was obviously a different person from the best friend Hua Jianbai was talking about.
She then asked, "Your Highness, since you are helping the Privy Council, you should know about the bloodbath at Bailuofu..."
Ning Xiusu said: "Dayan uses the blood of executed prisoners to wash the ore in order to expand the Yanjia machine. It is indeed inhumane."
"Does Your Majesty really think that this is just for machine expansion?"
She looked past Ning Xiusu and looked behind him, and seemed to see those merman compatriots who died tragically and were exiled.
"Whether it was the mountain of corpses three hundred years ago or the Qianluo Mountain today, the so-called landscape and scenery were all earned through massacres."
The emphasis in her tone was on the word "massacre", which passed by my ears like lightning.
It was like an afterthought, and it struck a chord with me.
"The purification of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood was nothing more than a blood sacrifice of our own people! The Bai Luofu who was slaughtered by tens of thousands of people was not a prisoner on death row, but Bei Jiao..."
Hu Xiaoxiao's voice was soft and gentle, but at this moment it blended with the thunder, turning into a force that could not be ignored.
It was a sudden storm that blew violently outside the pavilion, making a thrilling sound.
Ning Xiusu's eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly, and he looked at her with a little disbelief.
"What did you say?"
There was a smoky light in Hu Xiaoxiao's moon-like eyes, rippling like waves.
"Has the prince been living in luxury for too long, or is Dayan truly impenetrable?"
Ning Xiusu seemed to be struck by thunder when he heard this, and his face turned pale for a moment.
More than ten years ago, when Fang Jinchuan and Ji Qingyu were purifying the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, he was already in Lingnan.
Was it really like this back then?
"Tens of thousands of our people shed their blood, and since then, not a single Beijiao lineage has remained. Your Highness, don't you feel bad?"
Thunder rumbled faintly outside the window, and the rustling sound of rain seemed louder in the moment of silence.
Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Ning Xiusu didn't know if he was really feeling uncomfortable, but his heart did tighten.
Before the Qianluo Mountain mine was discovered, it was announced that the Qing Sect's formation had been used to cleanse the filth of the sea of blood and corpses.
Now that the Bai Luofu case is involved, both the case files and the oral accounts of the people say that it was a bloodbath by a death row prisoner. How could it be Bei Jiao?
"These...where do you know this?"
"Your Highness, don't you believe it? Only the blood of the Northern Shark can wash out Bai Luofu. Nothing else will work."
He thought of the moment when his blood dripped onto the bloodstone among the mountains of corpses.
But now, there is no bloodstone to prove this.
……
The sound of rain grew louder and louder. In the pitch-black night, the sky and the earth were almost the same color. The rain curtain turned into countless shadowy white beads, like a bead curtain hanging on the eaves, rolling over the banana leaves and into the puddles.
When countless water droplets explode, they create ink-colored fireworks.
Ning Xiusu's heart suddenly surged, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to the beginning of the war.
The spiritual vein was destroyed because I agreed to a deal with Fang Jinchuan.
He could act as ridiculous as he did in his youth, live in the borderland forever, and not participate in political affairs, but he had to make sure that the mermaids had a place to stay.
Did he just agree and then send tens of thousands of people to massacre Bailuofu?
But the late emperor was still alive at that time, and he even acquiesced to this matter...
This must be a trick, and after the turbulent emotions are mixed together, it gradually calms down.
Ning Xiusu took a breath, closed his eyes slightly, and asked after a while, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Your Majesty, the mermaid clan is in decline, both in the north and south. Only you can help us..."
Ning Xiusu didn't want to be involved in the vortex of competition, and he didn't like the flash of swords and blood. He was indeed surviving, but he was not without bottom line.
He lowered his eyes very tiredly and spoke after a while.
"So you saved me, it was premeditated."
"My Lord, are you unwilling to help us?"
Ning Xiusu frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking about the pros and cons.
Finally, he said coldly: "How can I... help?"
"We still have power in the Sea Ruins. We just need the prince to go back with us and retrieve the token from the treasury."
"Token?"
Ning Xiusu recalled something: the mermaid lineage had left behind a treasure trove in the ruins of the sea that only the royal family could open. However... this was just a rumor.
Hu Xiaoxiao's tone was as gentle as a cloud or the rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
"As long as the prince still has his people in his heart, we can also promise you that we will not harm Hua Jianbai in the slightest, and we will even protect him."
"Is this a threat?"
Ning Xiusu asked coldly.
“No, it’s cooperation.”
"These words must have been sent by that Yanren, asking you to be the lobbyist."
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but gently reminded: "Perhaps Your Highness still needs to consider... But don't forget, you are now just a fish on the chopping board."
Ning Xiusu then realized that this place was unusual. There was a trace of extremely bitter and cold air that penetrated his bones. In the house, talismans and magic arrays were faintly visible.
"you……"
Before he could finish his words, his vision almost went black, as if he had been hit by a club and he almost fell down.
"Your Highness, this is also what Mr. Mo meant. For your safety during this period, why don't you rest here for a while."
As she spoke, she suddenly stepped out of the house. Ning Xiusu then discovered that there was a faint golden luster on the ground, which was clearly the trace of a formation.
This place is actually blocked by a barrier. What does that mean? Is this considered house arrest?
