This broken mirror is big and round

"Why did you save me just now?"

Nie Xuan hugged Qin Banditfeng for a long time, and when his beating heart finally calmed down, he heard Yan Ning's voice from the door.

He looked up and saw that Yan Ning was already wearing a cloak, leaning in front of the stone wall, and said to He Jiangyin, "You can kill me with her hand, no one will know. After all, I saw you When I was there, I never brought anyone who was an eyesore."

"..."

He Jiangyin was only wearing dark clothes, and because his back was facing Nie Zhen, Nie Zhen couldn't see his expression, only his palm, which he always liked to hold behind his back, moved slightly and curled up again.

but did not speak.

Yan Ning straightened up, and continued to ask him: "I have done so many excessive things to you, but you still choose to spare my life when your life is hanging by a thread, why?"

As he said that, he chuckled again as if mocking himself, pulled the corner of his mouth to bruise, and frowned in pain: "Because I really resemble your precious brother, are you going to do it or not?"

"Or, you actually have a heart for me—"

"I saved you, not for anything else."

He Jiangyin suddenly interrupted him at this time, Yan Ning narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and was about to say something more, but saw He Jiangyin's next actions and suddenly stopped.

"Your Highness Ninth."

Only hearing He Jiangyin's tone was flat, without any emotion, he called him again, and then, with a straight body, he knelt down on his knees.

Not only Yan Ning, but even Nie Xuan was stunned in place.

He Jiangyin cupped his hands in front of his knees and kowtowed slowly, pausing for a moment before straightening up.

"Your Highness Ninth, He has been in charge of the rivers and lakes for fifteen years thanks to His Majesty's great love, but now he puts His Highness in a dangerous position, causing His Highness to be almost wrongly harmed by the factions, and because of... a trivial matter, it is really a crime." Doom."

"I just hope that His Highness will remember that He and his brother-in-law have done a good job in escorting them just now, and let me have a way out, and allow me to stay away from the rivers and lakes and go back to the forest. He can make a solemn oath, and from now on, there will be no He Family Fort in the world. "

"And this rivers and lakes are already in a state of disunity, not even one ten-thousandth of what His Highness can do. His Highness has far-reaching plans, so there is really no need to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, He Jiangyin solemnly knocked his head on the ground slowly, waiting for Yan Ning's reply.

"..."

Yan Ning's face turned pale the moment He Jiangyin knelt down.

But the atmosphere was stagnant, and after a while, he smiled out of his wits.

"What if I don't agree? Are you going to kill me?"

"...Of course I don't dare."

Yan Ning laughed even louder.

While staring at He Jiangyin's alienated and pretendingly humble figure with red eyes, he laughed more and more ugly than crying.

When He Jiangyin met him for the first time, he rescued him from the pool in the palace when he was young. At first, he thought he was a little eunuch when he saw his clothes, so he took advantage of his occasional entry into the palace to change into the eunuch's clothes and clothes in advance. He met by chance, and as time goes by, they have a huge difference in age and status, yet they get along inexplicably harmonious.It wasn't until later that He Jiangyin realized his true identity, knowing that he was just being plotted by others, and was deliberately changed into eunuch clothes and thrown into the pool. Although his attitude was unfamiliar, it was true, and he had never kneeled before him.

This kneeling was even more decisive than his previous fist fights.

So after laughing, Yan Ning stood up from the ground staggeringly, and it was the first time in his life that he watched He Jiangyin so condescendingly.

Seeing that his face was calm and determined beyond his age, he silently glanced at He Jiangyin again, and said calmly.

"You really know how to compromise."

After finishing speaking, he didn't speak any more, and let the stalemate remain like this.

"..." He Jiangyin also remained silent.

But seeing He Jiangyin kneeling on the ground like that, Nie Xuan couldn't stand it any longer.

He got up abruptly, rushed to He Jiangyin's side, stood up straight, stared at Yan Ning with his nostrils up to the sky, and began to take off the clothes he had snatched one by one, and put one on Yan Ning. , and finally put on the cloak with three holes exposed on his head again, and did not forget to stretch out his hand to smooth it out for him.

"You are a majestic prince, talking to my elder brother in such a disheveled manner, are you playing a hooligan?"

After quickly pressing, Nie Zhen pulled Qin Pifeng and He Jiangyin up and ran away.

It was a rare compromise for this bastard, and he clearly intended to let them go, but his elder brother had to wait for him to say it himself.

As for Feng Fugui, since the blood gu that is its master is dead, once the high-level living Qingzi loses its target, it loses its attack power, and it may hang around in her inconspicuous grave for a long time. , the body dies.

It's her own fault.

And Nie Xuan rushed forward for a while without looking back, pulling one of them with one hand, but couldn't control it after all, and threw one of them out with a shake of his hand.

"worn out!"

The three of them landed on a path in the forest. Nie Zhen still held onto He Jiangyin with one hand, and pointed at Bandit Qin who was thrown on the ground by him: "Why are you so heavy!"

"..."

Qin Pifeng sat up by himself, his eyes were still blindfolded, and he couldn't see Nie Zhen's situation at the moment, so he curled his lips innocently.

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Nie Xuan thought to himself, what the hell, he can't throw my elder brother away if he can't fly!

Then he turned his gaze, and Nie Zhen looked at He Jiangyin again.

He didn't know what happened to He Jiangyin and Yan Ning. He originally thought that Yan Ning could at most be considered a brat in He Jiangyin's eyes, but since Yan Ning's layer of skin was torn off, seeing He Jiangyin's reaction, he always felt that Maybe it's not as simple as he thought.

Some things have to be seen more clearly by those who stay out of it, so Nie Xuan hesitated for a while, and took out something from his body.

It was the half of the unicorn pendant he picked up before he found He Jiangyin.

Sure enough, when he handed it to He Jiangyin, even though He Jiangyin tried his best to hide his emotions, he could still see——

This was not left by He Jiangyin.

Nie Zhen subconsciously glanced at He Jiangyin's waist, where there was only a single lanyard left, and the other half was also missing.

He guessed just now that with He Jiangyin's temperament, even if he was not sure of reversing the situation, he would not be able to destroy this imperial gift with his own hands in order to protect himself.

So who took it from him and kept it for himself on purpose, Nie Zhen already had a vague guess in his heart.

What's more, Qin Guifeng suddenly found the entrance of the secret passage accurately at that time. In fact, when he thought about it carefully, there was only one possibility - he saw Yan Ning who deliberately appeared, and regarded Yan Ning as himself.

Thinking about how they escaped from the secret room, all the way was unimpeded, all of this shows that Yan Ning planned to let them go from the very beginning.

why?

For the first time, Nie Xuan couldn't see through this volatile bastard.

He just watched He Jiangyin put away the half of the unicorn pendant expressionlessly, and looked in the direction they were leaving without saying a word, but finally turned around.

"You, won't you go back and ask for clarification?" Nie Xuan said cautiously.

He Jiangyin raised his eyes, met Nie Zhen's concerned gaze, then paused and said, "It's nothing, I don't need it."

For some reason, Nie Xuan felt an inexplicable helplessness in his heart when He Jiangyin said these two sentences in a flat manner.

He just stared at He Jiangyin's face that never showed any flaws, and opened his arms to give him a bear hug.

"Brother, I—"

I'm wrong.

I used to be ignorant, please forgive me.

Nie Xuan wanted to tell him this, but he was only momentarily embarrassed, and when he was about to speak again, a sound came from his stomach——Gululululu!

It was especially loud in this silent forest.

So the words turned into: "Brother, I'm hungry."

Cracks appeared on He Jiangyin's face for the first time, and You Qi didn't wait for him to think up an excuse, and another stupid sentence came from the ground next to him.

"Brother-in-law, I, I'm hungry too."
