In the evening, the fourth prince took Shen Mo to drink together, and Shen Mo didn't shirk this time.The Fourth Prince would become gloomy and sad when he had no one to confront.

Seeing that he didn't intend to speak, Shen Mo asked himself first: "Who put your poison on?"

The fourth prince smiled darkly, "I was not sensible when I was young, and I ate arsenic as candy."

Shen Mo frowned, the fourth prince looked at his expression, and smiled even more exaggeratedly, "Aren't you particularly incomprehensible? Living under the light since childhood, how can you understand the thoughts of people like me?"

Shen Mo looked at him and asked, "What's your plan with the Rong people?"

The fourth prince looked at him like a fool, "Why did I tell you?"

Shen Mo said seriously: "I want to remind you not to be used by the Rong people."

The fourth prince sneered, "Actually, I don't care who the world belongs to in the end. Believe it or not, I just want to stir up the muddy water and make the mess bigger. Don't you think it's more fun?"

Shen Mo suddenly asked: "Are you trying to cheat?"

The fourth prince was surprised: "Yo, the high priest can say such words? It's really incredible, Da Qi is really a big dyeing vat, no matter how holy a person enters this dyeing vat, his color will change."

Shen Mo sighed, "You will die."

The fourth prince's frantic expression completely subsided, and he changed into a face of despair and pride, "I am the least afraid of death. It is the most painful thing if you want to die. Idle is idle, let me tell you a story."

The fourth prince came slowly and dejectedly: "There is a child who enjoys the supreme glory as soon as he is born. His matrilineal power is powerful and brilliant. The mother is more expensive than the child, and the grace is unprecedented. But the emperor is not kind. Father, he was playing with imperial power and people's hearts. He began to be afraid of the child's matriarchal background, humiliating and tortured, all of which were imposed on the poor mother. A woman, was driven crazy. The child has not grown up yet, the With the name of killing brothers and brothers, he has done bad things and is notorious. The child explained, but no one believed it. They all thought that the child was very bad, and he was a monster. The child thought of dying to show his will, but he was rescued. , he suddenly realized that since everyone felt that way, he might as well be a monster. So, it was logical that all the dirty water was poured on the children, and the children were responsible for the most filthy and inhuman transactions. Everyone was afraid of him, spurned him, and tried to harm him with countless tricks behind his back. But he was still intact, and he was even more and more favored by the emperor. No one knew the reason, they only thought that the child was vicious and resolute , has the demeanor of the emperor when he was young, but no one thought that it was the emperor who was so bad from the root. The child grew up, did not want to accept his fate, and was unwilling to be bullied by those. He began to fight against the emperor, but outsiders saw Come on, it's all about that kid seeking power and seizing the throne. Who would have thought that that kid is just taking back his own dignity. Hmph, a bunch of idiots who can't understand the situation at all, and are always whimsical to save the common people. Hastened demise."

Shen Mo asked, "Why did you tell me?"

The fourth prince sighed sadly: "If I die in this battle, I don't want no one who can understand me. No matter how crazy a person is, he needs a little recognition. I am a devil, and I am harming the world. Maybe the only person in this world who is willing to listen to me Only God can tell the truth, what do you say, High Priest."

Shen Mo clinked a glass of wine with him, and after a long silence, he said, "This time, how much gunpowder have you mastered?"

The fourth prince gave a sinister smile, touched his chin and said, "It's enough to burn jade and stone together."

Shen Mo asked again: "The gunpowder in the three cities of Yinghu District..."

Before the question was finished, the fourth prince replied clearly: "The batch of gunpowder is not mine, but I am the one who lit the fire, so I just plan. If the second brother is obedient, it can be regarded as saving his life."

Shen Mo looked at the fourth prince who was grinning strangely, and knew that explaining the equality of all peoples to him was just playing the piano against a cow, and it didn't take much time.He drank a lot of wine in silence until early in the morning, when the sky was about to dawn, Shen Mo got up to leave, and said in a concerned tone: "By the way, thank you for letting the little prince go in Zibo City back then. If it weren't for you , he may not live to be rescued to the capital. I hope you are careful so that you can take care of yourself."

The fourth prince looked at Shen Mo's back, took a sip of wine, and smiled maniacally, but two lines of tears flowed from his eyes. He gritted his teeth and sobbed softly, like a trapped animal, suppressing his deep loneliness and despair.

Shen Mo walked back to the sixth prince's mansion, the door servant knew him and let him in.But as soon as he entered the courtyard of the guest room, he saw Su Yunshu coming out of the room wearing a fur coat, and asked with concern: "I just heard that you came back. How are you doing? What are you talking about?"

Shen Mo waved to him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come here."

Su Yunshu frowned slightly, not knowing what was wrong with Shen Mo, she thought he was uncomfortable, so she walked forward.

Before he got close, Shen Mo pulled Su Yunshu into his arms, arched his back, and rested his head on his shoulder, as if he was extremely tired.Su Yunshu smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and said slightly reproachfully: "Why do you drink so much? Didn't you say that you are not strong enough to drink?"

Shen Mo whispered, "I lied to you."

Su Yunshu had never seen Shen Mo so tired, and couldn't bear to blame him, "I'll help you back to your room. You should take a good rest."

Shen Mo hugged him firmly, "Don't move, let me lean on for a while."

Su Yunshu stood motionless, and patted Shen Mo's back distressedly.

Su Yunshu just felt as if his whole life had passed. His legs were numb when he stood, but he didn't dare to move. He was worried that Shen Mo had fallen asleep on his shoulder. The numb force came up all of a sudden, he leaned forward, Shen Mo caught him firmly, and laughed softly.

Su Yunshu gritted his teeth and endured the numbness, while glaring at Shen Mo, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Mo looked at Su Yunshu deeply, as if he wanted to engrave him in his eyes, "Thank you."

Su Yunshu didn't know why, so she asked a little embarrassedly: "Thank me for what?"

Shen Mo helped Su Yunshu walk into the room, and said as he walked, "Thank you for letting me meet you."

Tsk, there was a "buzz" in Su Yunshu's head as if it exploded.

Shen Mo tilted his head and looked at Su Yunshu's already red ears. With an affectionate smile in his eyes, he silently added the second half of the sentence in his heart: Thank you for letting me meet you. If it wasn't for you, I don't know I could still be here How long will you last in solitude.

That afternoon, Qin Qi arrived, and they hid gunpowder and food in a cave outside the city. Hua Lixuan brought many people from Jianghu to support, and they also assigned them near the cave for protection.

Shen Mo was busy with his own affairs, so Su Yunshu accompanied Qin Qi and Hua Lixuan to wander around the capital to learn about the terrain for future deployment.They sat down in a restaurant, and Hua Lixuan quarreled with the vendor at a stall outside the restaurant because of a lantern.

Su Yunshu rolled his eyes, only thinking that Hua Lixuan is really an ancestor, who can get angry with people everywhere.He turned his head and was about to complain, but he saw Qin Qi looking at Hua Lixuan with a gentle face, he couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "How can you be so happy to watch a quarrel?"

Qin Qi asked with a smile on his face, "Don't you think Ah Xuan is cute?"

Su Yunshu's mind was full of question marks, and he couldn't understand it very much. He asked in disgust, "Cute? He looks cute like that? Where did you see it?"

Qin Qi just smiled and said nothing.

Just as he was wondering, Hua Lixuan came back with the fruits of his victory. He was holding a lantern in his hand, with a proud expression on his face, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and I don't know if this year Can you go back?"

Su Yunshu recalled the agreement between him and Shen Mo in his mind, sighed, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he felt that he had figured out Qin Qi's thinking, isn't this the so-called "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"?

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Qin Qi, then moved his eyes again, and glanced at Hua Lixuan twice, Qin Qi smiled and made a "shh" gesture to him.

Hua Lixuan looked at Su Yunshu in disgust, and said unforgivingly: "Your eyes are broken? What are you doing? Why do you wink at people when you see them?"

Su Yunshu supported his forehead, thinking with some sympathy, Brother Qin's road is a long way to go.
