Winter has not yet receded, and all kinds of medicinal flowers in Feihua Valley have been blooming one after another. Sometimes Yanjue would stand in a daze among the scent of flowers in a tree, while Mo Shuruo hid in the distance and watched him quietly, without the courage to step forward. That day

Now that I think about what I said about the underground river, I always regret it. Frankly speaking, I can't even find a reason to confront him head-on.

I feel uncomfortable staying here, but I can't bear to leave at the thought of not seeing each other again.

But her time couldn't stand such a delay. Soon, Yun Chuxiu washed Yan Jue's eyes with medicinal solution. That day, Mo Shuruo was extremely nervous outside the house, but there was no sound inside. For the next two or three days,

, Yanjue's eyes were covered with herbs and bound with white silk, so that they could not sweat and be stained by dust. He sat in the room all day listening to the little boy reading medical books. Mo Shuruo hid by the window and looked bored, so he simply took advantage of the little boy to doze off.

, slipped into the room on tiptoes, grabbed his wrist, and said softly: "Follow me."

Yanjue said nothing, but a smile suddenly overflowed from his lips. However, Mo Shuruo had already turned his head and did not see it.

The two of them walked slowly towards the depths of the garden, one behind the other.

He didn't ask where he was going, and she didn't say anything. She just grabbed his head and walked forward. After walking for a while, she heard the sound of gurgling water and the fragrance in the wind.

This place is very big, and Mo Shuruo discovered it when he was wandering around. It has a deep environment, and flowers are blooming all over the stream. Because no one walks there often, the ground is covered with green grass. Walking further in, you can only see a towering flower.

The big tree is covered with pink flower clusters, one next to the other, very prosperous.

She looked at the flying flowers in the sky, stopped, closed her eyes, and slowly opened her arms, "Can you feel it, the way the flowers are flying in the wind?"

Yanjue stood beside her quietly, "In a few days, I will be able to see it with my own eyes."

Mo Shuruo turned around to look at him, and couldn't help but reach out to touch his eyes that were bound by the white silk, but he put them down halfway, "When your eyes get better, I won't feel guilty anymore."

Yan Jue said: "I said I never blamed you."

Mo Shuruo also said: "I also said that I blame myself..." Just like feelings, emotions cannot be controlled by others.

The colorful falling flowers threw themselves on his shoulder. The sunlight penetrated the tree trunks, and in the mottled shadows of the trees, their figures looked a bit dreamy and false.

Mo Shuruo didn't want to talk about those topics anymore, so he asked instead: "Do you want the city lord to continue to investigate the matter of Yan Ya Prison?" After all, he went there with a purpose, but he walked around and didn't investigate anything.

Almost died.

Yanjue shook his head, "Fang Baimei lured me to Yanya Prison in order to take revenge on Baiyue. What I want is not there."

Mo Shuruo said: "What is the thing that the city lord is looking for? Can't the Mo family also find it?"

"I'm sorry that I can't explain this secret to you. Besides, you shouldn't be involved in this accident." It was obvious that he didn't want her to get involved again.

He made it clear enough that even if Mo Shuruo wanted to help, there was no reason to follow him shamelessly.

"The city lord is serious. He didn't help at all. It was Shu Ruo who dragged you down. I'm really sorry for causing you to get hurt." His eyes will be healed soon. Anyway, we will never see him again in this life.

There was no need for him to remember her face anymore. Before that, she had to leave.

"When it comes to injuries, it's me who should apologize."

"?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes fluttering, and he laughed at himself: "I pride myself on being able to protect everyone, but I never thought that you would always get hurt under my protection. I began to wonder if my ability has become weaker.

…”

When facing danger, if the strong protects the weak, the latter will naturally not show up again and will not be hurt. But Uncle Mo was different, even if Yan Jue stood in front of her, she still thought about it again.

It is enough for him to know how to protect him from danger. If he thinks of this and pursues him so deeply, it will be a big problem.

Uncle Mo coughed and said, "City Lord, you are really overthinking. If Uncle was injured, it was an accident. More importantly, he has no ability to protect himself. No matter how powerful the City Lord is, he will not always be by my side..."

As soon as the words were finished, Mo Shuruo bit his hands in embarrassment and looked at his back, complaining in his heart. - What am I saying? If you listen carefully, shouldn't I tell him not to leave me!!

"That day when I fell into the underground river, I was in a daze when I heard what you were talking about. I was not in a good state of mind at that time, so I really didn't understand it. Can you say it again?"

"..." Thinking of those words, Mo Shuruo quickly shook his head, "No, it's nothing. I'm just afraid that you would lie awake and tell you some embarrassing things about my childhood. It would be best if the city lord didn't hear clearly." She giggled awkwardly and held up her hands.

But she was trembling unconsciously. If she hadn't been accustomed to keeping silent since she was a child, she was afraid that she would be exposed long ago. She didn't expect that ten years of hard work would come to an end. At that time, she was so worried that she said everything. Every day, she also

I was so frightened that I didn't expect that he didn't hear clearly at all. I didn't know whether I was disappointed or grateful for a moment.

Yanjue's eyes were a little dazed, and his expression slightly revealed his disbelief, "Although I didn't hear clearly, I clearly knew they were very important words."

Mo Shuruo crossed him, turned his back, and firmly denied, "In that situation, I was scared and helpless. I just wanted nothing to happen to you. I cried for a while and was very confused. I really didn't say anything."

He sighed imperceptibly, "That's all, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. It's just that I always feel that I don't know it will be a regret, and I always worry about it. One day you will understand it and tell it, I think

Know."

Mo Shuruo picked his palms with his index finger and kept staring at his toes. He thought to himself: Of course I am willing to say it, but do you really want to hear it? These words are too heavy for you. I don't want you to take care of the Mo family.

You are so perfunctory with me, and I don’t want you to take into account that I am too gentle.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Mo Shuruo followed Fang Hongzhi to collect medicine outside the valley. When he came back, he was in a state of embarrassment and met Yun Chuxiu's old mother at the entrance of the valley.

Fang Hongzhao wiped a handful of dirt from her face and said in surprise: "Aunt Hong, why are you here!"

The old mother said with a smile on her face: "Little Ye Zi, the city lord can see with his eyes."

She jumped up and said, "Really!"

As the sun sets, the whole world seems to have paused.

She only heard her own voice trembling, "He...can see..." She put down the backpack in her hand and muttered in despair: "That's good, that's good..."

Fang Hongzhao said: "It's really great. Let's go and have a look!"

Mo Shuruo broke away from her hand and took a step back, "I'll put the things away before I go, so that I can be mentally prepared. You go first..."

"It's okay." She didn't think too much, and pulled Aunt Hong to run into the valley, not forgetting to urge, "Shu Ruo, please hurry up."

Mo Shuruo looked at the two people's retreating figures. His shoulders were shaking from crying. He wiped the tears from his face while cursing: "Why are you crying! Mo Shuruo, you are so useless..."

Fang Hongzhao thought Uncle Mo would go back, but he didn't expect her to leave without saying goodbye.

***

Mo Shuruo left Feihua Valley overnight and rode straight to Baiyue. More than a month passed, and I don't know what the specific situation was. Although she might not be able to help much, she could at least do her part.

After hurrying slowly, Mo Shuruo finally arrived at Yiguan, the border town of Fujian and Vietnam where the war started.

"Who is coming?"

Soldiers roared on the tall city wall. Mo Shuruo looked up and saw a row of Baiyue black dragon flags on the city wall being blown to pieces by the wind.

The wind in January is not too cold, but also very biting.

He tightened his collar and said in a loud voice: "Shuruo, Lingnan Mo family."

"Allow me to report, please wait first." The man on the tower replied, turned around and ran away. Mo Shuruo jumped off the horse and stroked the dust off his sleeves. After a while, the gate of the tower was blown by the cold wind.

Slowly open the slit with a squeaking sound.

The person who came was none other than Xiang Jingyi, whom he had not seen for more than a month. He was wearing the armor of a team leader. He was not as majestic as a general, but he had an iron-clad aura.

Since the last incident, he already knew that her heart was with Yan Jue. If Uncle Mo felt guilty, he didn't know how he missed her now. While he was in a daze, he strode up and hugged her directly.

"Senior brother...?"

"Just come back," he patted her back, seeming very happy, "I was so afraid that you would just leave and never come back."

Mo Shuruo's hand was hanging in the air. He couldn't push it away or hug him. He could only lower it secretly. Hearing what he said, she said with a smile: "I am Shuruo. Where else can I go if I am not in the Mo family in this life?"

Although her grandfather never put pressure on her, the Mo family was her responsibility after all.

Xiang Jingyi let go of her, grabbed the horse, and the two of them headed into the city together. "Let's go, I'll take you to see Mr. Mo first."

"Grandpa, do you blame me?" She really acted arbitrarily about Yanya Prison, and it was normal to worry that he would be angry.

"If you apologize so quickly, he won't blame you."

The two of them turned from the city tower through several streets and went directly to the temporary inn. They learned about the actual situation from him along the way.

Baiyue now has no king. Several countries, mainly Fujian and Yue, took advantage of the situation and tried to seize the royal seal in the hands of Mrs. Suho and establish themselves as the new king of Baiyue. The newly self-proclaimed king of Minyue, Baiyue Yi, but

He is the eldest grandson of Xijue who has been distantly related for several generations, and he really has no qualifications to sit on the throne. But now that the direct line of Baiyue has been severed, the princes are all lucky. I wonder who would give up such a good opportunity.

Baiyue Yi and several other countries organized more than 40,000 personal guards and wanted to go straight to Xinling City. Unexpectedly, the Mohist family and Nanyue King Jing Zhaoxian came to protect them and blocked Baiyue Yi's army at Yiguan.

outside.

The rebels had attacked several times before, but gradually there was no sound. After all, Baiyueyi's soldiers were not trained for a long time like the guards of the King of South Vietnam, so it was not feasible to join them temporarily.

When she came to her senses, Mo Shuruo had already entered the hall. When her knees landed on the ground, she had no words in mind. The old man above just sat quietly.

"grandfather……"

Duke Mo said quietly, "I'm back."

She knelt on the cold marble, feeling uneasy in her heart, "If my uncle is unfilial and abandons the Mo family, he deserves to die."

"Is that all you need to say "go to hell?" Mr. Mo snorted, "You will have to focus on..." Although there were only three of them in the room, they still changed their words here to express the unyielding hatred in their hearts.

Gang was angry, "If you move on to other things, I won't let you go out for even a step!"

"Grandpa, I really know that I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." She raised three fingers, "Shu Ruo swears to you that he will be filial and loyal to the Mo family in this life, and will never have second thoughts. If you violate this promise, you will not die a good death.

.”

He was just pretending to scare her. How could he make such a terrible oath casually? Mr. Mo turned his head and said, "That's nonsense. The ground is cold. Get up quickly."

Looking at each other, both of them couldn't help but chuckle.
