Musu felt a little cold.

Not only because Lang Yue was too cold at night, but also because the chill in her heart was too cold.He unconsciously hid his stiff fingers in his sleeves.

"No room for negotiation?"

He Lou Cheng Ye was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Su, and asked, "What kind of conditions can you offer?"

Mu Su looked at He Lou Cheng Ye, for some reason, he was not as afraid of this person as he imagined: "What does Your Highness want to trade me for?"

He Lou Chengye was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Do you think I spared your life to negotiate terms with Emperor Xia?"

Mu Su was silent for a moment and said: "It's not for it, it's possible." He looked directly into He Lou Chengye's eyes and said, "I'm alive, so you always have a bargaining chip in your hand that can be used in multiple places. The same can be pushed to Yue Changfeng and other historians, you will kill Lu Wei, but you will not kill us. Killing Lu Wei is to punish rebellion, and leaving us is the peace of the country."

He Lou Cheng Ye stared at Mu Su's clear and bright eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and sighed, then sat down slowly and said, "It's very important for you to think of yourself in Xie Yan's heart." As soon as these words came out, Mu Su felt There was a thud in my heart, as if I had been told something, and I was a little out of breath.

He Lou Chengye said slowly: "But my Lord Mu, I put you in prison not because you are Lu Wei's immediate superior. Yue Changfeng and others are not suffering in this cold stone prison now, they just It's just under house arrest. The reason you are here is because of those two children."

Mu Su was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly a bad feeling came out of his heart: "My child..."

He Lou Chengye smiled warmly but coldly: "They are Yelu Guanghan's sons and daughters."

There was a sudden bang in his heart, and Musu froze in place as if struck by lightning.He always thought that he would be implicated because of Lu Wei, but he never thought that he was also one of the key direct suspects.The children of Yelu Guanghan were able to rest in their own residence in the middle of the night. Even if he said that they ran in by himself, no one could prove it at this juncture.

"Your maid Dahl wants to explain for you, but she can only tell when the child came, but not how the child came. The two children said that they came in by playing hide-and-seek, I believe, but the nobles and officials present I don't believe it." He Lou said at night, "It is because of uncertainty that Gu Fang sent you to prison. Can Master Mu Su explain this?"

Musu closed his eyes in despair, he couldn't explain.He was too unsuspecting, he didn't think clearly about Huyangul's reminder to him, Urolan's reminder to him, and even his father's reminder to him.

"Since Mr. Musu can't explain it, there is no conclusive evidence for the matter. Gu can give Mr. Musu a few choices." He Lou Chengye said suddenly.

Mu Su slightly opened his eyes and said, "It seems that His Highness came prepared."

He Loucheng looked at him condescendingly at night, and said: "First, submit to Langyue, glory, wealth, as long as I can afford it, I will give it to you." Fingers trembled slightly, Mu Su did not speak.

"Secondly, plead guilty and be punished."

He Lou Cheng Ye's voice slowly fell, he looked at Mu Su sitting in the moonlight, his figure was so thin, but his back was straight, his hands trembling slightly in his sleeves.His eyes deepened a little, and he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The third is that he was placed under house arrest in Lang Yue. Just like Huyangul and others."

Musu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a long time he suddenly laughed and said, "Your Highness, it was Musu who lost."

He Lou looked at him all night, but didn't answer.

"I've been wondering why His Highness would waste so much time on a person who only met once. Now Musu has figured it out. His Highness is really like a black tiger, so it's easy to play a big game of chess." Mu Su raised his head. , with a trace of determination on his slightly pale face.

"You recognized me in Xiangcheng, and you deliberately made me notice you. The people of the Great Wilderness Sect were hired by you, because you wanted to kill me halfway, and the rest of the people can be your palms Plaything. And you let me go again, the reason for this is only clear to you, Your Highness."

"Under the lantern that day, you were probing my reality and I had the right to have fun. Huyangul may not know your appearance, but Wu Luolan does, so you parted from us, but you never left Tianyue City. You know Yelu For all the plans of Guanghan, you know that he will use me, so you use him. In this way, you can use me to quell the rebellion, and you can also use him to lure me into a trap, and you will appear like a god at a critical moment, and predict things like a god... You have taken over people's hearts, power, and opponents." Mu Su raised the corners of his mouth and looked at He Lou Chengye: "Father once said that elder brother is stupid, and Mu Rong is a dude, but I am the only one who is wise. Lou Shanyu fought wits and bravery, never thought that I was your son from the very beginning. I am completely defeated."

He Lou stood quietly in the darkness at night, without making a sound from the beginning to the end, only a pair of eyes, shining brightly, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Mu Su rubbed his knees, and said: "The three paths His Highness gave, in fact, only the first one allows Mu Su to choose, and the last two are for His Highness to choose. Now that Mu Su doesn't choose, it's His Highness's turn to choose. "

The air was silent for a long, long time, and it was as if one could hear the gurgling sound of blood flowing in Musu's blood vessels.

"You're only half right." He Lou Cheng Ye slowly sat back in front of Mu Su, and said, "It's better to say, you're only partly right."

"If I only want people's support, royal power, and constraints on Daxia, I should let the people of the Great Wilderness Sect kill you, and then plant it on Yelu Guanghan's head, completely cutting off the possibility of Daxia supporting Yeluguang Khan. Then Let half of your bones be sent back to Daxia as a sign of friendship; the other part is persuaded to surrender or detained in exchange. You are just a servant of the Ministry of Rites. Even if Emperor Xia values ​​you, you alone will not be more important than ten people .”

Mu Su froze for a moment, and met He Lou Chengye's clear amber eyes.

"The reason why I regret it is because I am very interested in you." He Lou Chengye said, "I also know that you will never choose the first path. Both reasons are related to it, right?"

He took out something from his bosom, and by the moonlight, Mu Su recognized it at a glance, it was Bi Jinsui's kit!His pupils contracted suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to snatch it, but He Lou Chengye dodged it, and the latter grabbed his wrist instead, and the distance between the two suddenly became very close.

"Do you know that every time you look at it, it's like looking at a lover."

Musu's face turned pale in an instant, he struggled to get his hand out of He Lou Chengye's hand, but He Lou Chengye held it tightly, and he was so weak that he couldn't break free.

"You're not loyal to Daxia, you just love to thank you." He Lou Chengye said word by word.

"Enough!!!" Musu's other hand clenched into a fist and slammed He Lou Chengye's face hard. Although the strength was not strong, he still knocked his face away. He wanted to grab the jade marrow, but He Lou Chengye suddenly pushed him down to the ground, and He Lou Chengye's broad hand pinched his slender neck directly.

He Lou Chengye felt that the neck of the man under him was very soft and slender, like a seabird or a crane, the soft and smooth touch spread under his fingertips, and he could break it with just a little force.

He stared at He Lou Chengye's amber eyes, anger, shame and unwillingness were clearly displayed on his face.

He Loucheng looked at him at night and said: "Since Mr. Mu doesn't want to choose, I will choose for you. If you want to return this Bi Jinsui, you must stay in Langyue and sever all contact with Daxia. Gu I won't use you to make a political exchange with Emperor Xia, but you don't want to have any false ideas... If Lang Yue is destroyed one day, you can go back to Great Xia."

Musu looked directly at him and said angrily, "Are you trying to capture me?"

He Lou Chengye said calmly: "It's under house arrest."

"What good does this do for Lang Yue?!"

"I don't know yet." He Lou Chengye said calmly, "Maybe I just don't want you to die."

Musu bit his lower lip, looking at He Lou Chengye's amber eyes so close at hand, he felt a little dizzy.The faces of He Lou Chengye and Xie Yan in front of him suddenly and slowly overlapped. The overlap of these two completely different faces actually made Mu Su almost cry for a moment.It was the red eye sockets at this moment that made He Lou Chengye stunned for a moment, and the hand on Musu's neck loosened by seven points.

Mu Su violently pushed He Lou Chengye away, turned his back to him and said calmly: "Your Highness, please go back."

He Lou Chengye's eyes flickered for a moment, walked in front of Shimen, took a deep breath and said, "I will announce your death in the court tomorrow, and then let Yue Changfeng and the others go back to Daxia. As for you, from tomorrow From the beginning, I will live in Tianyue City."

Musu's hands trembled slightly, he knew that He Lou Chengye was finally giving him the method of tenderness.Since it was the utmost benevolence for him to let Yue Changfeng go back, then he should know what to do, cut off contact with Da Xia, and become a dead person.

There was a sudden warmth coming from behind him, he was startled, looked back, and found that He Lou Chengye had taken off his cloak and put it on himself, with a touch of sandalwood from this man.

"Someone will pick you up tomorrow morning, so you can rest."

Musu heard the stone door behind him slowly closing, secretly grasped the corner of his clothes, and rubbed his hands on the unfamiliar lines. Suddenly, he felt that the moonlight in his peripheral vision was very similar to the one his mother always loved to wear in his memories. A plain magnolia green cicada soft robe.

Musu didn't sleep until the next morning.He sat upright on one side of the cell until it was daylight, and several servants and guards were ordered to come and take him out of prison.Mu Su looked at the heavy stone gate that was only opened three times a day and one night, and knew very well that if he stepped out of this threshold, there would be no turning back.

He took a deep breath, and finally stepped over.Even in late autumn, the strong light made him a little uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand slightly to block his eyes.

It's just that after seeing her for a day, the entire Langyue palace seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.He passed by the palace where he once lived, but found that it was scorched black. The original stone was already pitch black, and there was still a faint smell of burnt.

He suddenly felt cold, if it wasn't for He Lou Cheng Ye, he would have become this scorched black.Yelu Guanghan's move was not arranged by He Lou Chengye, he didn't blame He Lou Chengye, but he wanted to thank her.It's just that he still didn't understand why He Lou didn't kill him at night.To He Lou Chengye, is his life a move in this game?

It was still early in the morning, and he thought that He Lou would send him to another side hall by night, but he didn't want a group of people to lead him to the main hall of Lang Yue's royal family.He Lou met Lang Yue's princes and ministers here at night to discuss important matters of the state.He instantly understood that what He Lou did by Cheng Ye was to announce to the world: Mu Su has no way out.He has to make his own choice in front of everyone, whether to die together or live together.

He Lou Chengye gives you three roads, you have to choose.

The main hall of Langyue Palace looks grand and rough from the outside, but the carved railings and painted buildings, the cold moon beasts in the details seem to be moving in the dark.He raised his head and looked up from dozens of bluestone steps, looking at the heavy and thin wooden door and the dark hole like the bloody mouth of a beast.He knew that He Lou Chengye was there, or in other words, that was He Lou Chengye's mouth.

Starting from the third-to-last step, there were guards standing with swords and bows glaring. They looked at Musu who was walking up the steps slowly, and the light in their eyes was like a man-eating jackal.In the middle of the main hall, blankets of some kind of beast were spread, and Mu Su was not in the mood to take a closer look.He was thinking, thinking about the turning point, and how he should spend the night with He Lou in his dying struggle.

He Lou sits at night on a big chair on the innermost high platform. The chair is covered with thick leopard fur and elk skin, but the chair handle is carved with delicate snow plum.He Lou Cheng Ye leaned on the back of the chair, the jade ring and plum blossoms on his fingers were slowly scrubbing.His amber eyes were bottomless, deeply reflecting Musu's pale and bloodless cheeks, and a gleam of light flashed with interest.

Musu walked into the main hall, and the guard stood beside him, and said sharply in non-standard Xia language: "See you, kneel down."

Musu didn't move.

Only now did he realize that there was a short, trembling figure kneeling not far from him.After carefully identifying it for a long time, he was surprised to find that it was Lu Wei.

He Lou Chengye hadn't killed Lu Wei yet.

He was waiting for himself, he was going to kill Lu Wei in front of him.
