Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 47 The Uninvited Guest

Huo Qi turned around and looked, unexpectedly, it wasn't Zhang Mazi, Li Xixie, or Que Li who shot.

But -

Shen Yuning.

The willow leaf dart was obviously his handwriting.

How could it be him?
Shen Yuning was wearing a black cloak, his face was as deserted as ever, but his eyes were full of lazy smiles. He walked slowly step by step, and finally paused for a moment beside Huo Qi, leaned down and whispered: " It seems that Duke Ning’s mansion is also a mess.”

Even at such a tense moment, Huo Qi still did not forget the etiquette. She took a cautious step back and saluted Shen Yuningfu: "Your Highness Wan'an. At this moment, you are even more exposed. I wonder why your Highness came to Huailin?"

"I have nothing to do today, and I came to enjoy the autumn scenery of Bichen Peak, but I don't want to have unexpected gains."

"His Highness is in great spirits and always likes to hide behind his back and watch the show."

Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Your mouth is always unforgiving. I blame this king for not saving Huo Xian in Huailin just now, and you only know how to watch dramas?"

Huo Qi didn't intend to blame at all, but he immediately realized after hearing this, from the moment Huo Xian stepped into the Huailin, Shen Yuning might have already arrived.Based on her understanding of Shen Yuning, he is not an idler who would come here specially to enjoy the scenery. Since he came, there must be some ulterior purpose.

"The courtier's daughter and His Highness meet by chance, and it's reasonable for His Highness not to help, so how can you blame him?" Huo Qi suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, lowered his eyebrows on his face, but rolled his eyes countless times in his heart.In her eyes, Shen Yuning was lucky not to cause trouble for her, so how dare she ask for any extra help.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that you don't want me to help. Miss Huo has always had an idea. Rather than owing me a favor, maybe you would rather solve it yourself, right?"

The smile in Shen Yuning's eyes had reached his lips at this moment, and a pair of deep black eyes stared blankly at Huo Qi. Huo Qi's mouth had the upper hand at first, so he had to look away in embarrassment after seeing him like this.

"Do you plan to let Master Huo die or let him live?"

Shen Yuning withdrew his smile and glanced at Huo Chi who was rolling on the ground with disdain. He only had his legs crippled with a willow leaf dart, so how could he still scream pretentiously for so long?

After receiving a gentle glance from Shen Yuning, Huo Chi felt as if a dull knife was cutting into his heart, and even the pain that shot through the meridians of his legs was almost numb.He could still muster the courage to kill Huo Qi, but the moment he saw Shen Yuning, he only felt overwhelming fear.

He didn't know much about the seventh prince in the palace, but the martial arts and ruthlessness shown by hunting down the black lion alone was already daunting.

Huo Chi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life!"

Shen Yuning turned a deaf ear to it, and just thought it was a fly buzzing, her eyes fixed on Huo Qi and waited for her to speak.

"I wanted him to live. I sold him to a low-grade brothel to be a young lady, so I can be self-reliant for the rest of my life." Huo Qi said the most shocking words in the calmest tone, "But now I have changed my mind, he Since my eldest brother and I are going to die, why should I be the Guanyin on the lotus platform?"

"That's right, this king also thinks this move is very good."

Shen Yuning snapped his fingers, and a black shadow flashed out from the grass next to him. Huo Qi had an impression of this person. He was the guard who testified for her on the day of the sacrificial ceremony. He presumably was also Shen Yuning's personal bodyguard.

"Cheng Chang, take Master Huo Er down, and you know what to do next."

Cheng Chang bowed and bowed, nodded in agreement, and then walked to Huo Chi's side in three or two steps. Before Huo Chi could react, Cheng Chang took out a piece of coarse cloth from his sleeve and stuffed it into Huo Chi's mouth. He saw that Huo Chi even made a whimpering sound. , knocked him unconscious with a knife, put him in a sack and carried him away.His movements were completed in one go, and he was heading deeper into the Bifeng Peak in a blink of an eye.

Even though Huo Qi was always smart, she couldn't understand Shen Yuning's intentions. She vaguely felt that he had other plans, but she didn't know what he was going to do. It was as if he had caught the end of the thread, but could not see the thread behind it.

Huo Qi frowned slightly: "Where will Your Highness take Huo Chi?"

"You will know in two days. One stab to death and one slash to death. Such methods are too shameful. I am happy to be a good person, so I will let him die a worthy death." Shen Yuning said casually.

"Why did Your Highness take matters into his own hands?"

Huo Qi didn't believe that Shen Yuning came here on purpose to help her deal with the aftermath. Since he did it, there must be another way.This person has a bad stomach and a completely black heart, so he must have no good intentions.

"I didn't do it myself, wasn't it Cheng Chang's? Bullying such a frail scholar would hurt my face if I said it." Shen Yuning smiled, skillfully avoiding the question.

"His Royal Highness's thinking is different from ordinary people, but the realm of courtiers can't keep up."

Huo Qi was obedient, knowing that Shen Yuning didn't want to tell him, so he wisely stopped asking.As long as Huo Chi died, she would get the result she wanted. No matter how he died, she would be happy to let Shen Yuning handle it.

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew several dandelions. Shen Yuning raised his hand to grab one of them, spread his hand and blew it on Huo Qi's little face, and said casually: "Now, even the dandelions supported by Ning Guogong personally Nie Qin will bite you back. You are walking alone with Duke Ning's mansion on your back, I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult."

"His Highness is too busy to take care of himself, but he still cares about the situation of Duke Ning's mansion. Outsiders say that His Highness has a kind heart and a soft face. This is indeed the case."

After being pushed aside by Huo Qi, Shen Yuning straightened his expression: "We were in Huailin just now. Why did you hide everything and shoulder the responsibility that Huo Xian should have shouldered?"

Huo Qi heard the words, although his face was calm, his heart was shaken.

She and Shen Yuning didn't have a close relationship, but Shen Yuning saw things more clearly than anyone else.What he said was accurate.The reason why she hid everything in Huailin was because she didn't want the turmoil behind Duke Ning's mansion to become a burden to Huo Xian.

She understood Huo Xian's ambition and ambition, and only hoped that he would feel at ease and walk the path in his heart without any guilt.The glory of Ningguo Duke's Mansion and the people inside are guarded by her.This is also the last second of the last life, the oath she made to the sky.

Seeing that Huo Qi seemed to be moved, Shen Yuning said quietly: "Ning Guo Gong is brilliant, honest and upright, and has been a good official all his life. But he doesn't understand that in a dirty court, being too innocent is the biggest danger. If Huo Xian is so naive, I'm afraid Ningguo Duke's palace will be unsustainable."

"I would like to thank Your Highness for your reminder. As for the future of Duke Ning's mansion, it will be decided by God's will." Huo Qi lowered his eyes and said.

Shen Yuning looked at Huo Qi's stubborn face, but nodded thoughtfully: "It's not God's will, but you. I'm talking too much today."

When Huo Qi heard this, he took a deep look at Shen Yuning. There were too many indescribable emotions in that look.Shen Yuning is indeed a smart man. He knows the beginning and the end, and everything he says is what she thinks.But instead of being happy about it, she was frightened.

She didn't want to say too much: "Your Highness said every word, my servant has been taught today. Dare I ask Your Highness, where are my servants?"

Huo Qi glanced around, but there was no one there.She was going to call Zhang Mazi and Li Xixie to restrain Huo Chi together, and then deal with it, but since they didn't show up, they must have fallen into Shen Yuning's hands.

"Don't worry, they're fine, they were just knocked out by Cheng Chang, and now they're lying in the grass behind them. They'll wake up within half a stick of incense."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for letting me know. Today's business is over, and my servant will take a step first." Huo prayed and blessed his body, and turned to leave.

"Those three people haven't woken up yet, you can handle it alone?" Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows.

Huo Qi pursed his lips and said nothing.That's all for Queli, but she didn't know how to deal with Zhang Mazi and Li Xie. She couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, but she couldn't open her face to seek help from Shen Yuning.

"The king has prepared a carriage, and Gou Yue is guarding the back. Let her take you away. If something happens to you in this deep mountain and old forest, you will have to get involved with me." Shen Yuning added unambiguously. In one sentence, "Sending you back can be regarded as repayment for what happened today."

"Your Highness is worrying too much. But, won't Your Highness leave?" Huo Qi automatically ignored the second half of the sentence and only replied in a nonchalant manner.

"I still have some things to deal with, do you want me to go with you?" Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Your Highness is worrying too much."

The night is urging more, the dust is clear, and the sky is about to dawn. If the three of them wake up before leaving, I'm afraid it will be bad.Huo Qi weighed it in his mind, and finally returned to the mansion in Shen Yuning's carriage.

Zhang Mazi and Li Xixie woke up halfway, got up and said goodbye as soon as they entered the capital city.When they arrived at Duke Ning's mansion, after Huo Qi thanked Gouyue, he led Queli into the dog hole as usual, seeing Gouyue's complexion change slightly.

After returning to Qiju, Lingfeng and Tingyu did not go back to their own rooms to sleep. Instead, they stayed in the main room and were dozing off on the small table.As soon as the two heard the noise, they looked at each other and walked towards the door of the main house, only to see Huo Qi coming back.

"The girl is finally back, which makes me so worried!" Tingyu approached Huo Qi and looked at her carefully. When he saw that she was fine, the big stone in his heart was relieved.

"Didn't I come back fine? By the way, is there anyone coming today?" Huo Qi took off his cloak and took a sip of tea while leaning on the soft couch.

"I heard that the girl is sick. My wife came here today. She said she was worried and wanted to visit her."

"What did you say?"

"The slave said that the girl drank the medicine and has already fallen asleep. If the door is opened and the wind blows, it will be difficult for her to recover. Madam, please feel at ease and come back tomorrow." Yefeng said calmly.

"You did a good job." Huo Qi curled his lips and smiled.

Huo Xian would return home tomorrow, but Huo Chi ended up dying. She wanted to see what kind of wonderful reaction Huo Qinglan would have when he heard about this.
