After everyone left, Feng Bai put away the folding fan, used Qing Gong to instantly walk to Ning Yao's side, touched several of her acupuncture points, and injected an internal force into her body.

After a while of operation, Ning Yao suddenly felt a lot more energetic. After adjusting his breath, he looked at Feng Bai and said indifferently: "How do you know these techniques?"

"I just saved you, okay? Is this the way you treat your savior?"

"How are you doing?"

"No!" Feng Bai glanced at Ouyang Xun and smacked his lips in disdain, "Why, isn't this our number one champion?"

Feng Bai knew about Ouyang Xun. From the first day he entered Chang'an City, Feng Bai began to send people to check him. His life experience was miserable and his background was innocent. When such a person entered the capital, he would always be like a fragrance.

Feng Bai expected that everyone was fawning over him, but he rejected them one by one.

Originally, Feng Bai had given up his doubts about him, but after he rejected everyone's flattery, handed over a greeting card to Ning Yao, and visited Ning Yao in person, Feng Bai's doubts about him never stopped.

Feng Bai was convinced that Ouyang Xun entered Chang'an with a purpose. A person like him had no scheming intentions and could never hide things on his face. Therefore, after entering Chang'an, even if he resisted Ning Yao, he would still choose to show her love to her.

With the choice of getting closer, Jing Feng Bai had to believe that Ouyang Xun entered Chang'an for Ning Yao.

But why?

If he wanted to be a successful official, he could have a relationship with the right prime minister. If he wanted to be a good official, he could also have a relationship with a censor. However, he did not choose either of them. Instead, he chose Ning Yao, who had no achievements other than meritorious service.

This is enough to attract others' attention, so it's no wonder Feng Bai would doubt him.

Ning Yao also saw Feng Bai's hostility towards Ouyang Xun. Looking at Ouyang Xun who was frightened by the accident, he said coldly to bring him back from his thoughts: "Don't you want to come back to me for something? Let's go."

"Yes... let's go, let's go..."

Ouyang Xun's face was stained with blood at some point, and his clothes were also stained with blood. In his hand, he held tightly the black iron sword that Ning Yao threw to him. There were also blood stains on the sword, and the blood beads were still sticky.

It dripped sticky on the ground.

Judging from his appearance, he must have killed someone in panic and was frightened.

He was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have finally recovered from his trance. He looked at Ning Yao blankly. Suddenly he felt a chill on his face. He reached out to touch it, and the sticky touch made him frown. When he saw

After seeing the blood on his hand, he looked at the sword in his hand. His face suddenly turned pale. He was so shocked that Ouyang Xun dropped the bloody sword in his hand and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve.

The Black Iron Sword fell down and landed on the bluestone floor with a "zheng" sound. The sword trembled slightly, as if it was dissatisfied with being abandoned. Ning Yao didn't feel bad at all. He glanced at Ouyang Xun and bent down.

He picked up the Black Iron Sword, took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the sword body, then put it back into the scabbard and pinned it back to his waist.

"The first murder."

It was clearly a question, but Ning Yao spoke very indifferently. Ouyang Xun suddenly felt that Ning Yao's cold voice was biting and cold, sending chills down his spine.

It's not that he has never experienced death. He saw his mother die in front of him. At that moment, he experienced death once. But this time, he took a person's life with his own hands, even if that person wanted to kill him.

He suddenly felt that the already cold blood on his face was frighteningly hot, almost burning him.

But Ning Yao's words made his heart feel chilly.

He knew that if he didn't kill that person, he would be the one who died. He was not a saint, but he couldn't accept taking another person's life with his own hands. But looking at Ning Yao's indifferent expression, he suddenly felt a little...

Confused. So, without thinking, he asked the question in his mind.

"Don't you feel anything when you take someone's life with your own hands? Is it so indifferent?"

"People like you will only be deserters on the battlefield." Ning Yao suddenly had a murderous look in his eyes, "There is only one fate for deserters, and that is death."

There was dead silence all around, except for Feng Bai, waving a folding fan and watching the show.

"..."

After hearing Ning Yao's words, Ouyang Xun wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything to refute.

"Because you can't accept death, and you can't take other people's lives. On the battlefield, if you can't kill the enemy but want to live, you can only become a deserter." Ning Yao turned sideways and did not look at her, but the coldness in his eyes was so terrifying.

People, "and deserters often don't survive until the end."

The implication is that in this bloody turmoil in the Yue Kingdom, people like Ouyang Xun who are soft-hearted to the enemy will never live long. And people like him, even if they have amazing talents, are destined to only become the prey of others.

.

Ning Yao looked at the defeated Ouyang Xun coldly. For some reason, in a daze, she seemed to see a bit of He Yu in him. But compared to He Yu, he was still very early.

He Yu can look at life and death with a cold eye, but Ouyang Xun cannot. At least, not yet.

Ning Yao suddenly had a hunch that if Ouyang Xun could pass today's level, he might become the next He Yu, or even surpass him. Murdering an envoy of a country is a capital crime. He Yu knew this and the consequences of doing so.

But he still did it, and even guessed her identity in just a few words.

With such a talent, if he hadn't only wanted to stay with his beloved wife, and if someone hadn't planned to kill his pregnant wife, he wouldn't have wanted to die and motivated himself to kill him.

Although Ouyang Xun is talented, his talent was still cultivated by Xue Cheng. Ning Yao was suddenly worried. Although Xue Cheng was as talented as He Yu, their focus was different. If He Yu was talking about

If he is good at discerning the truth, then Xue Cheng is good at playing this chess game called the world, from small to large.

Ouyang Xun was stunned by Ning Yao's conversation and could not speak for a long time. Looking at Ning Yao's back, Ouyang Xun, who was still in a trance, suddenly came back to his senses.

"If there is no war, there will be no deserters!" Ouyang Xun almost shouted these words, "As long as there is no war, there is no need to kill people."

"..."

Ning Yao didn't answer or look back. Feng Bai was confused when he saw Ning Yao's curved lips. He didn't know if she was mocking or happy.

The street was surprisingly quiet. They walked for a while and walked two streets before gradually hearing the lively sounds. This contrast made Ning Yao find it very strange. It seemed that the residents here always avoided the streets near the dungeon.

From afar, it seems that a tacit understanding has been formed among them.

When Xue Cheng saw Ning Yao, his tense face finally relaxed, and he led Ning Yao towards Yan Chi's room, explaining the situation to her as he walked.

Originally, Yanchi was fine until he had breakfast, and then he fainted without any warning. Xue Cheng immediately ordered the yamen to be sealed and no one else was allowed in or out. Then he checked all the food in Yanchi, and finally found that,

He was poisoned.

Xue Cheng did an investigation on everyone, but no one here was suspected. So there was only one possibility - he poisoned himself. However, Xue Cheng did not tell Ning Yao about this.

After he heard that Ning Yao had put Lu Jian in jail, he was poisoned and fell into a coma. The purpose was to call Ning Yao back in time. Xue Cheng knew this. He couldn't think of a better reason.

, Yanchi took the initiative to send it, and he complied with his wishes.

But even if Xue Cheng didn't say anything, Ning Yao understood everything the moment he saw Yanchi. The poison in Yanchi is not deep, and the poison is not difficult to cure. Xue Cheng's medical skills are enough to deal with it, and there is no need to rush to treat it.

Call yourself back.

Ning Yao understood Xue Cheng's painstaking efforts and didn't say anything more, but Yanchi didn't receive such good treatment.

Ning Yao stood like that, with no emotion on his face as if he was wearing a mask, and then he spoke coldly: "I thought it was a tough poison, but it's nothing more than that. I'll die in a short while."

No, I'm not in the mood now, I'll watch it later when I'm in the mood."

After saying that, Ning Yao touched an acupuncture point on Yan Chi's body, and then left without looking back. Xue Cheng looked at Ning Yao's back as he walked away gracefully, and felt his eyebrows jump uncontrollably.

He jumped for a while and then smiled happily.

Originally, he could not see the slightest trace of the past in Ning Yao, and he had secretly doubted whether she was really Chen Xuan, but now it seems that those little habits and expressions are exactly the same as before, and there is no doubt that she is Chen Xuan.

Yes. She is the same as before, and she will retaliate.

Yes, hatred will be repaid.

In the past, Ning Yao seemed to have a cold nature, but Xue Cheng knew that she would silently keep everyone's likes and dislikes in her heart. Although she was not good at words or expressions, she would always care about her in her own way.

People who care will silently record a person's good, likes and dislikes, and will naturally also remember the bad of others.

For Ning Yao at that time, even though he was not bound to retaliate, he would never suffer a loss.

But looking at Ning Yao's attitude towards Yan Chi, Xue Cheng felt a strange emotion in his heart for no reason. For a cold-blooded person, it is difficult for others to influence his emotions. Perhaps Ning Yao himself did not realize that this Yan Chi always

It affected her emotions unconsciously.

This person cannot be kept.

This was a thought that subconsciously came to Xue Cheng's mind. As soon as this thought came out, it was like a cancer taking root in his heart and growing day by day.

Not to mention that Xue Cheng didn't trust Yanchi, not to mention that Yanchi himself was also an ambitious man. He once regarded Yanchi as the first choice to achieve his goals, but the more he investigated Yanchi's past, the more he investigated Yanchi's past.

The more he feels like a foggy person.

Good at disguise.

This is the evaluation given by Xue Cheng after an in-depth investigation of Yanchi. Being good at disguise means being untrustworthy, and if you are untrustworthy, there is no need to cooperate. Not knowing martial arts is like a dandy. The most important thing is that many things are obvious.

He didn't participate, but he was related to him either overtly or covertly.

Any one of these reasons is enough to convince Ning Yao to kill him.

With this in mind, Xue Cheng did so, but Ning Yao's answer surprised Xue Cheng.

"Brother, he said he likes me."

The bright moon was in the sky, and Xue Cheng and Ning Yao were enjoying the breeze and drinking on the roof as usual. Ning Yao held the wine jar in his hand and rubbed his fingers along the edge of the jar. He looked at the lights of thousands of houses and didn't know what to think about.

"I don't believe in him, nor do I believe in so-called love, but I just want to see what he can do."

This is probably an emotion that everyone has. They obviously don’t believe it and don’t care, but they always want to see the ending. It’s like looking at a drowning cat but being indifferent, knowing clearly that the cat will drown in the end, but wanting to witness it all with one’s own eyes.

.Just like Ning Yao knew that Yanchi would give up in the end, but wanted to see how he gave up.

Ning Yaozhi and Yanchi are like this.

"Love is something that can make people lose their minds. If what he said is true, then it would be more convenient to use it, wouldn't it?"
