On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

"Does senior think I shouldn't kill them?"

"Ahem, that's not what I mean. I just think you can wait until we are together before double-teaming. You don't have to be so cruel." Su Shu concealedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"At that time, I thought I couldn't wait for you."

Shen Lingyuan lowered his eyes and spoke calmly, showing no signs of lying.

But who is Lu Xiao sitting opposite him? He is Shen Lingyuan's guardian for 14 years. He is more like Shen Lingyuan's father than Shen Chi. How could he not know the heart of his child.

It's just that Lu Xiao also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, he always says what he has, and doesn't know how to beat around the bush.

He stared at Shen Lingyuan without blinking: "What are you hiding from me?"

As soon as this affirmative sentence came out, Su Shu, who advocated euphemistic teaching, immediately covered his face. He didn't know why, but he felt ashamed on his face when he was clearly talking about Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was naturally kind, he was eager to know what happened to Shen Lingyuan, but Shen Lingyuan didn't want to discuss this matter with him from the bottom of his heart.

The two stared at each other, but in the end Shen Lingyuan couldn't be more stubborn than Lu Xiao. He took a deep breath and propped himself up on the soft pillow so that he could look at Lu Xiao at the same level. Then he looked at the actually gentle eyes under the mask. Said, "Could it be that brother Xiao has nothing to hide from me?"

As calm as Lu Xiao was also slightly taken aback.

In the past, he would have answered without hesitation, no.

But today is different from the past, he does have something to hide from Shen Lingyuan, and the first thing in the list is Hualou's last request.

The news of her death cannot be revealed to Shen Lingyuan.

At that time, even the stone man Lu Xiao had to agree to Hualou, but after agreeing, Lu Xiao regretted it.

It is his duty to tell Shen Lingyuan everything without reservation, but it is also reasonable to conceal it for Hualou, there is no right or wrong between the two.

But when the two conflicted, how to choose, Lu Xiao panicked for a moment.

He used to be a killer who only obeyed the orders of Marquis Changxing, he didn't understand feelings and didn't care about the world, but now the world forces him to understand what feelings are.

Lu Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally said seriously, "If you must know, then order me."

The moment these words reached his ears, Shen Lingyuan's eyes suddenly widened.

Order?

Shen Lingyuan seemed to be enlightened for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that Taohu once said a word to him: "There are not many people in this world who can live for themselves." '

Bandit Hu often looks cynical on the surface, but in fact he is very transparent inside. He knows what he wants to cherish, and he has no choice but to be used by Prince Rui. Shen Lingyuan can understand, so let him go while he still has reason. Walk.

But Shen Lingyuan really didn't expect that even Brother Xiao, who only obeys orders, would have such entangled emotions.

Shen Lingyuan was speechless for a moment.

Su Shu, who had been silent all this time, peeked through his fingers to see that something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two. He hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to intervene between the two to smooth things over, "That Commander Lu, this son just now You need to rest when you are awake, let’s talk about tomorrow if there is anything else. Cough cough.”

After Su Shu finished speaking, it seemed that the wind and cold had worsened, and he coughed twice incessantly.

However, Lu Xiao did not give up because of Su Shu's words, his eyes were still fixed on Shen Lingyuan without fear.

Shen Lingyuan opened his mouth under such persistent and hot eyes, and almost asked, but in the end he chose to look away.

The result is already like this, no matter what you do, it will not change the fact that Hualou is dead, it is better to let Brother Xiao go, at least so that he does not have to be tortured by hatred like himself.

It's just that Lu Xiao is so upright, he had to confirm again that Shen Lingyuan would not ask questions before he stood up straight.

"Then you rest. I will find the messenger for you."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiao took the sword beside him, and was about to leave.

?

"Wait a moment!"

Shen Lingyuan also didn't expect Lu Xiao to be so decisive. He was struggling to get up and completely forgot that he was covered with scars. Fortunately, Su Shu had a good eye and stepped forward to help him up.

Shen Lingyuan endured the pain and reluctantly persuaded, "Brother Xiao, since this matter is my responsibility to Emperor Xing, I must do it myself. Besides, I am the only one who has seen the real Beili Mission with my own eyes. If you go How is it different from finding a needle in a haystack?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiao stood there for a few seconds, finally dropped his sword, and leaned against the door again.

Shen Lingyuan stopped Lu Xiao and Su Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while he frowned again, "My lord, it will take you ten days and a half months to lie down, and it will take at least another ten days to go to and from Jialing Pass. Something unexpected happened..."

Before Su Shu finished speaking, he was silenced by Shen Lingyuan's gaze. For some reason, this fleeting gaze reminded him of the scene of severed limbs.

At this time, Shen Lingyuan smiled indistinctly, "Senior Su, don't worry, I have my own opinion."

"Ahem... yes." Su Shu coughed again in a disguised manner.

Shen Lingyuan turned his head and said to Lu Xiao, "Brother Xiao, I still need to trouble you to go back to Xinxia to find Shen Yanqing and let him find a way to meet Emperor Xing, and try to buy time for me. Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to ask you .”

Lu Xiao's eyes moved slightly, he was keenly aware of the change in Shen Lingyuan's address to Shen Yanqing, he still remembered that when Shen Lingyuan first came back, he called Shen Yanqing his righteous brother.

Shen Lingyuan didn't know about Lu Xiao's mental activities. As he spoke, he handed over the handkerchief and hard objects given to him by the maid, "This was secretly handed over by a maid in the palace at the birthday banquet that day. It was given to me, I took a closer look, and the sword tassels wrapped in this veil are exactly the same as the tassels my father used to wear on the sword, I think everything will be much easier if there are people in the palace who can take care of us.”

Lu Xiao nodded, took the handkerchief and Jiansui away, and replied, "I will investigate."

Lu Xiao is a man of action. He had just finished his answer before leaving Su Shu's private school.

Shen Lingyuan watched Lu Xiao leave, and then said to Su Shu who turned his head gently, "Senior Su, I will continue to trouble you during this time."

Su Shu helped Shen Lingyuan lie back on the soft pillow, "Your Majesty, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own."

Shen Lingyuan smiled and didn't answer. If Su Shu had said such things in the past, Shen Lingyuan would only feel warm in his heart, but now, in his opinion, these words are just a joke.

Because everything he has now is left by his father, it's better to say that everything is going according to his father's plan before his death than so much that the old department obeyed his orders.

He seems to have fallen into a strange circle, where the authorities are obsessed.

"My son, my son? Did you hear what I just said?" Su Shu stretched out his hand and shook Shen Lingyuan's eyes to recall his thoughts.

Shen Lingyuan calmed down, "Uh, senior, what's the matter?"

Su Shu's eyes moved slightly, "Oh. I just want to ask, if you don't know when you will return from Jialing Pass, should we postpone our previous plan to lure snakes out of the cave?"

Shen Lingyuan pondered for a moment: "Everything is prepared as usual, but we will act together after I come back."

Su Shu nodded, "Yes. Then I will inform my two old buddies now."

Lu Xiao hurried back to the Hou Mansion, and went straight to Qing'an Hall as soon as he entered the door.

Shen Yanqing in the pavilion was wrapped in a quilt, holding a Tang Pozi, nestled on the footboard, casually flipping through a book.

The exposed wide sleeves slid down his smooth arms, and it could be seen that the scars on Shen Yanqing's white arms where bloodletting rescued Xue Huan had been completely eliminated.

At this moment, Lu Xiao walked into the pavilion frowning, intending to get straight to the point, but changed the subject because of Shen Yanqing's pale face.

"You, not well?"

"I'm sick, it's fine." Shen Yanqing felt weak, "The outside has been taken care of."

"It is." Lu Xiao replied.

As soon as these words were heard, there were overtones, Shen Yanqing continued to look at Lu Xiao lightly, waiting for his next words.

Lu Xiao slightly turned his head away: "Yuan'er..."

As soon as the name came out, Shen Yanqing knew it already, but he responded as if nothing had happened, "He did know about Hualou's death."

I didn't expect this to be the case.

Lu Xiao was slightly surprised: "Then, you didn't tell him the truth?"

Shen Yanqing shook his head, not mentioning that he didn't want to say it at all, even if he wanted to, he couldn't move at that time.

Lu Xiao frowned: "Before you could lie to him and make him hate you, but you can't do it now, besides, you have already..."

Just as Su Shu couldn't speak bloody words, Lu Xiao couldn't say some super-classical things either.

Shen Yanqing interrupted Lu Xiao at the right time, but avoided talking about the relationship between the two, "Yes, even if I don't tell him, he can guess it. He is no longer the simple-minded child he used to be."

"We can't go back to our childhood." Shen Yanqing looked into the distance, and although his tone was not mixed with any emotion, no matter how he heard it, there was a sense of sadness in it.

There was no words between the two of them for a while.

In the end, it was Shen Yanqing who broke the silence: "I still want to thank you, I didn't expect you to keep hiding it for me."

"...It's not for you, it's Hualou's dying entrustment." Lu Xiao refused Shen Yanqing's thanks, and regained his usual calmness, "I also saw the letter and said, 'Hou Ye's military orders are like mountains, and the master's iron discipline is on top' Only then did she want to understand why Hualou was so hard to force her when she was about to die, she didn't want Yuan'er to fall into the dilemma of injustice and infidelity, and she didn't want him to fight against Sheng Shagu, so she had to make such a bad plan."

Shen Yanqing raised his eyebrows, exhaled slowly, put down the book and rubbed his hands together, raised his eyes and said, "So you can also talk normally."

Lu Xiao didn't care about Shen Yanqing's teasing, and was very serious, "What are your plans after Yuan'er leaves Xinxia?"

Shen Yanqing straightened his back slightly, and the sickness on his face also dissipated a little, only to see him smile slightly: "I know what you are waiting for, don't worry, my aunt should make a move soon."
