Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 82
"Would you like to?"

Out of his duties as a monarch and his ministers, Huo Qi always lowered his eyes habitually when talking to Shen Yuning, and most of his words were perfunctory remarks.But at this moment, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look directly at the young man in Xuanyi in front of her, and looked at him carefully.

Shen Yuning has a good appearance, but if he is willing to show off his smile, no matter how good he is at perceiving people's hearts, he will be confused by this appearance, making people unable to make any malicious assumptions about this face, just like the string of Bodhi beads on his wrist. Harmless and gentle.

But he just doesn't like to laugh, even if he smiles occasionally, it's mostly not from the heart, so that kind face shows a bit of unfathomable indifference and cruelty, which makes people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Although Shen Yuning was only 20 years old and was known as a "disgraced prince", Huo Qi knew that since he could make a promise, he would be sure to fulfill it.Everything he said was true.

Huo Qi was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses: "If my daughter remembers correctly, His Highness just said that he doesn't bother to join forces with anyone."

"You are different. I think you are a reliable person. This deal only involves you and me, and has nothing to do with Duke Ning's government. Isn't this exactly what you want?"

Shen Yuning returned to his usual indifference. He turned his back and followed the jackdaws in the distance with his eyes, which were bone-chillingly cold and frightened.

Over the years, outsiders said that he devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha and ignored worldly affairs, and he was a prince without threat.Cui Xin and the people attached to him got a glimpse of it, but they only thought that he was plotting for the throne and that he was aiming at the world.

In his eyes, everyone else is boring, they just have the same facial makeup, but Huo Qi makes him feel a little interesting.

He had only met Huo Qi a few times. At first, he thought that Huo Qi was reckless and acted erratically, but later on, he couldn't help but start to take Huo Qi seriously.

Although he is cold-hearted, he cherishes his talents.Huo Qi is thoughtful, intelligent and precocious, she shouldn't be confined to a corner of the back house, if she is given a wider world, she will have greater achievements.If you really want to pick someone to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish, Huo Qi is also the best candidate.

Seeing that Huo Qi remained silent, Shen Yuning turned her head and glanced at her again: "Duke Ning's mansion is currently troubled internally and abroad, you don't know. Huo Rushan is just a small role, not worth mentioning. But Duke Ning was the sword in the hands of the emperor back then. The Nie family is just one of the forces. Although Ning Guogong retreated bravely, it is already too late. Now only this king can promise you to save the Ningguo Palace , you have to think about it carefully."

He was not afraid that Huo Qi would reject the deal.

For women from aristocratic families, the survival of the family is more important than personal life.Others may not understand, but Huo Qi must understand this.What's more, after several contacts, he always had a vague feeling that Huo Qi was particularly concerned about Ning Guo Gongfu, as if he owed Ning Guo Gongfu.

Shen Yuning's words went straight to Huo Qi's heart. She couldn't help but twist her fingers in her sleeves. It was obvious that she was not at peace in her heart, but she still talked and laughed calmly on her face: "I have to say that the conditions offered by His Highness are indeed true." It's very tempting. But I also understand that those who seek skin from tigers will eventually be eaten by tigers."

"You don't have to rush to refuse. It's human nature to hesitate when something unexpected happens." Shen Yuning seemed to find Huo Qi's words interesting, and the corners of his lips curled up, although it seemed a bit cruel, "I don't want to force You, please think about it slowly, and when you have decided, come to Yixiangyuan to find me."

After speaking, Shen Yuning raised his lips and smiled, then slowly walked towards the southeast corner of the back garden.Huo Qi looked at it coldly, and saw the black figure walking among the trees at the corner, and then suddenly disappeared, as if it was just a heart-stopping dream.

Huo Qi was in a daze for a moment, then walked from the corner door in the back garden to the front hall.The gate of Qingyin Pavilion had already been closed tightly, and the lively scene of singing and dancing was no longer seen. The sound of white candles directed a group of servants to clean the courtyard and the stage in the front hall.

Huo Qi said calmly: "Team Leader Bai."

Bai Zhusheng seemed to have just noticed that there was one more person in the hall, and when he saw the person clearly, his face could not hide his surprise, he quickly reacted, and waved his hands at the group of servants: "Go down first, without me order not to come in."

After the screen faded away, the sound of white candles came to Huo Qi, invited her to sit down on the tea table on the first floor, and then slowly said: "Qingyin Pavilion is busy with internal affairs today, so I can't serve you a good pot of tea, please invite the girl No wonder."

"It's okay." Huo Qi said.

Bai Zhusheng stopped playing riddles and asked, "Shouldn't the girl go out with the person arranged by me? Why are you in Qingyin Pavilion?"

"Something went wrong on the way." Huo Qi smiled slightly, "I still have to thank Team Leader Bai for his help today. Without Team Leader Bai, Mrs. Zhang would not be able to leave the capital smoothly, and Liu Fang would not be so easily sued for his life."

Bai Zhusheng said with shame: "As long as the girl promises to keep the secret and save the lives of everyone in Baixiao class for the old man. What the old man did is all within his duty."

"This is natural." Huo Qi nodded, "When Mrs. Qin leaves from Jingzhao Mansion, please ask Team Leader Bai to arrange for his men to intercept Mrs. Qin halfway, pretend that she is dead, and send Mrs. Qin secretly. Meet with the Zhang family on the outskirts of the city and send these two people to Yanming Village in Qingzhou. After doing this, the matter between me and Team Leader Bai will be settled."

If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Xiaolian will be released tomorrow night at most, but the Liu family and the Nie family will definitely not let her go.Although the number of Prince Qing's old troops under Bai Zhusheng is not large, they are all elite.It was more than enough to intercept Qin Xiaolian halfway and escort the sisters away from the Nie and Liu families.

The two sisters have long since lost their other relatives, and Aunt Zhang disappeared in Qingyin Pavilion without anyone noticing. As long as the false appearance of Qin Xiaolian's death is made again, even if the Nie and Liu families want to seek revenge, it will be useless. Do you want to chase him to the underworld?
"I understand," Bai Zhusheng said, cupping his fists. "I have already led the carriage that the girl came with earlier to the back door. Now that it is getting late, I will arrange some escorts to take the girl back home."

"Thank you, Squad Master Bai." Huo Qi smiled lightly and got up immediately.

When the two arrived at the back door, a carriage engraved with the Huo family's emblem was already waiting on one side.Huo Qi looked at it for a moment, then lifted up his skirt and got on the carriage.

When she was about to leave, she seemed to have thought of something. Standing on the sedan chair, she turned her head and said to Bai Zhu behind her: "Master Bai, you are a loyal person, so I can't help but say a few words. Now His Royal Highness Prince Qing I have long slept, but the living still continue to seek life. Is it worth sacrificing such a living life to avenge King Qing? Leader Bai is a smart man, and he probably understands that the people and the country are more important than personal gains and losses."

After that, Huo Qi got into the carriage, which walked slowly on the sparsely populated path, and stood there in a daze with only the sound of white candles.

　The emotional line is mainly after Sister Huo enters the palace, and now I am going to start the plot~
