late night song

Chapter 238 A good show

After the ceremony, Gu Yuchu spent three days looking for Nuo Da, trying to find out more from him, but he couldn't spare any time because of the enthusiasm of the newly promoted flag commander, who was invited by the Yunjing officials.

On the night of the third day, Nuoda, who was a little dizzy after drinking and didn't know why, was sent back to the post office, but he refused to go back to his yard and clamored to see General Yuesheng.

Gu Yuchu went through the security inspection and rested in the atrium courtyard with nothing to do, practicing a few sets of boxing techniques.

"Yu Chu is really amazing. With you here, I can sleep peacefully." Nuoda clapped her hands with misty eyes.

"Captain Nuoda is now a famous figure in Yunjing, why should he feel uneasy?" Gu Yuchu said sarcastically, holding back his fists and cupping his hands.

"Yu Chu seems to be dissatisfied with me." He leaned against the pillar, barely supporting himself and smiling.

"How dare you?! Lord Noda has been framed many times and managed to turn danger into a disaster. He is patient and aware of current affairs. He led the small and weak Tulang tribe to join the prince to break through the mess. Now he is the leader of the eleven Blackwater tribes. , successful and successful at a young age, how dare I, a mere guard, say anything."

"You said you didn't?" Nuoda sighed and said softly, "I have my own reasons. In this situation, I have no other choice but to compromise."

"So you and Ji Huan worked together to plan the Duanyang massacre, put the blame on Xirong, solved the outstanding case at the post house, and expressed your loyalty to Prince Ling?"

"It's not to blame, the two murders in the post house were indeed committed by Xirong." Nuoda's sudden truth made Gu Yuchu frown.

"What do you mean? Since you knew it earlier, why didn't you tell me when you were imprisoned in Dali Temple?"

She paused, then reacted instantly: "What is the relationship between you and Xirong?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you for long." Nuoda smiled bitterly and began to confess, "After Master Ning Jue's death, Queen Kuosang secretly assembled a group of dead soldiers in order to sneak into Beiling from the rear and break the alliance in the east. At the same time, Kill you. And I am one of them."

"Aren't you from the Tulang tribe?"

"My mother-in-law is from Xirong."

Nuoda talked about her life experience through drunkenness: "My mother-in-law was born in Xirong. Not long after she was born, she was suddenly caught in a storm on the grassland. Her grandmother died tragically and she was separated from her tribe. Fortunately, she was picked up by wolves and raised. After she became an adult, she was looking for She accidentally broke into the territory of the Tulang tribe while she was in the mother clan. She was deceived by Muta's younger brother and had me. She endured the humiliation and survived for me. She thought she could have a safe place, but who knew that the three wives of the Tulang tribe leader They all died of dystocia. People who regard antelope as their totem believed that my mother, who was raised by wolves, had offended the gods. So when I was six years old, they drove us, mother and son, into the desert. For five days and five nights, there was no water or water. Food, but fortunately at the time of life and death, the Xirong nomads passed by and rescued us, so that we could save our lives."

"Since the Tulang tribe treated you mother and son like this, how did you get the position of successor?" Gu Yuchu felt that his words were contradictory and continued to ask. However, such a life experience is indeed rough.

"Three years ago, the Tulang tribe experienced a cholera, and the nobles withered away and had no successors. Only then did Muta find me, his nephew who had been exiled, and said that I was the pure and uncorrupted member of the tribe who had not been corrupted by the black devil. White soul. Ha!"

Nuoda sneered and continued: "Because most of the people who knew the past died of cholera, as the successor, the existing people did not question me."

"So you became a dead soldier after returning to Tulang, not only for Kou Sang's conspiracy, but also for your own personal hatred?"

"That's it."

"Mutta is dead and the Tulang tribe is in your hands. As long as the unsolved case remains unsolved and you take the opportunity to kill me, then the mission given to you by Kousang will be completed. You will benefit from both sides, so why did you betray Xirong halfway? Take refuge in Beiling?"

"Every dead soldier's family is in the hands of Kuosang, and my mother-in-law is no exception. She promised to treat them well, but I didn't know until I arrived in Beiling that my mother-in-law is still an outsider even if she returns to her mother's clan. ! There was no food on the front line. Because she married a foreigner, she was chosen to be killed alive in the end and was eaten by her fellow tribesmen. Not even her bones were left!"

Speaking of her mother, Nuoda looked ferocious and her eyes were wet.

"I can die for Xirong, but I will never allow anyone to hurt my mother-in-law!"

Gu Yuchu suddenly felt sick to her stomach. Such barbaric cannibalism had always been a strange rumor in the world, but she didn't expect it to be true!Her mother died tragically at the hands of her own clan, and she could relate to such sworn hatred.

"Did you do that fake Sunda Shadow Token on purpose?"

"The original plan of Kou Sang was to put the blame on you for the Xunying assassination. This way, you could not only kill people with a borrowed knife, but also provoke conflicts between Beiling and Dongqi. On the day Qi Wang was killed, I was arranged to ask you out just to create Rumor, I will give you the Xun Shadow Order and then expose it to you through the Tatchi clan, so that you can't defend yourself. I was originally going to be sacrificed, but my mother's revenge has not been avenged, so I must not die so easily. Fortunately, , I accidentally bought a fake Xun Shadow Token in the ghost market, so I dropped the bag and saved a glimmer of hope."

"Why do you think that I will accept your invitation?"

"My appearance." Noda smiled, "This is also the reason why Kousang chose me."

Gu Yuchu was a little embarrassed. Indeed, if it weren't for this face, how could she be so curious and insist on finding out.

"What if I can't get out of the prison in Dali Temple?"

"King Jingchuan will not sit idly by, right? Although it is difficult to tell the authenticity of the two Xun Shadow Orders, they will never be able to deceive him. So as long as my confession is consistent with yours, even if Dali Temple wants to make false accusations, There's nothing he can do, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Princess Yanfeng to prison to remind me."

Regarding the Dali Temple, according to what he said, she did feel too lucky, but she was still curious about Noda's status in this group of dead warriors, so she continued to ask: "Then after you come out, what will happen to Xirong?" Didn't the dead man doubt you?"

"Of course there is. Even if it wasn't, your deliberate approach to Yu Chu put me in danger."

Nuoda blinked and returned to the post house from Dali Temple. This woman's excessive closeness to him was just to test his true nature and provoke his colleagues. He was all too aware of this.

"However, it is precisely because of this that I found an excuse to convince them that they have successfully deceived you. When the time is right, I can invite you to enter the urn and capture you alive to Xirong."

"In the deserted temple, have you never calculated that you might miss?"

"Of course, but I am the last link in the assassination. If you cannot be subdued by them, then I will eventually take advantage of you to complete the final blow while you are not prepared."

Only then did Gu Yuchu understand the meaning of the eyes that the dead man looked at Nuo Da before he was taken away. Although there was doubt in it, there was more of expectation!
"Hmph, you are really cunning. On Dragon Boat Festival night, you used yourself as bait and designed such a good show to make your colleagues think that the big plan was about to come true. Who would have thought that you and Ji Huan had already arranged everything, and borrowed my hand Defeating the strength of Xirong's dead soldiers, and then killing them all, he not only cleared his own suspicions, but also eliminated the threats around him, and also solved the unresolved case for the prince and made great contributions. It really achieved multiple things with one stone."

Gu Yuchu broke through the last key point, folded his arms, and joked with a smile: "I'm just very curious, why do you want to tell me all this? Do you want me to be grateful for your kindness of not killing?"

"I can't kill you." Noda smiled bitterly.

"Besides, you have already begun to doubt me, haven't you? Even if I don't say anything today, you will know sooner or later. You and I are the same people. We can die for loyalty, but we also hate being deceived the most. I don't want to I'm a stranger to you."

"Don't pretend to know me well."

Nuoda hunched over her shoulders and didn't care about Gu Yuchu's cold but counter-intentional answer.

"Between the Crown Prince and King Jingchuan, it is more advantageous for me to choose the Crown Prince. Besides, I also have selfish motives."

"What selfishness?"

"To be honest, if King Jingchuan hadn't pretended to win over me in public, alienated the alliance between the Tulang clan and the other ten clans, and put me in an unjust situation, maybe I would have surrendered to him. However, because of you, I wouldn't Give in to him." Nuoda pointed out Ling Buhuo's scheming. "Don't use me as a cover." Gu Yuchu warned with his eyes crossed.

"On the night of Dragon Boat Festival, I speak to you sincerely. Although I cannot give you the world, I can promise you a pure land, a true heart, and one person for life. Although King Jingchuan likes you, it is because you can be used by him. That’s all. I don’t need to say anything about him and Ji He, you should understand it clearly. "

Gu Yuchu was silent. When it came to feelings, she was always the weakest and humblest in her heart. She never wanted to believe that there was such a person who could brave the wind and waves just to find her.

"He is not your lover, but I might be. Why not give yourself a chance?" Nuoda stepped forward and held her shoulders with both hands. The drunken Gu Yuchu was a little confused.

Just when Noda wanted to hold her in his arms, a force of gravity pulled her out of the close tenderness, and then she fell into another strong embrace.

"Ling Buhuo"

Gu Yuchu raised his head and caught a glimpse of the angry man behind him, and gently called out his name, but he didn't look at her and just held her shoulders a little harder.

"King Jingchuan was so excited that he didn't go back home in the middle of the night and came to this post to pick up someone." Facing Ling Buhuo, Nuoda was not timid at all.

"It's not your turn to tell me whether I am her husband." Ling Buhuo said coldly with a livid face, "Mind your own hands, otherwise I won't mind helping you take it off."

After that, he dragged Gu Yuchu away.

But in an instant, Nuoda grabbed her other wrist. Suddenly, she was like an open bow, being pulled by two men.

Ling Buhuo's eyes could ignite the entire Yunjing, and Nuoda didn't show any weakness.

"The throne ordered General Yuesheng to protect my safety. I'm afraid the prince can't force her to leave her post without permission."

Ling Buhuo didn't reply, but just gave Gu Yuchu a look, as if asking her to make a choice.Gu Yuchu swallowed all the helplessness and broke away from Nuoda's hand. Without saying a word or looking back, he ignored Nuoda's cold expression and left quickly with Ling Buhuo.

In the deserted courtyard of the Yuexia Inn, Gu Yuchu was pushed hard onto the pillars of the corridor.

The eaves blocked the moonlight, so she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could feel the anger rising and falling in his chest like a huge storm.

"you"

Before she could say the second word, her mouth was blocked. She tasted the mellow aroma of wine and the bitterness of night, and it became difficult to even breathe.

Finally she was able to take a full breath of air, but the moisture and pain in her ears and neck made her arch her shoulders unconsciously.

"How much did you drink?"

The man didn't pause at all. He even raised his hand to clasp her chin, sealed her lips with his thumb, and sucked hard on her collarbone again and again until the body of the woman in his arms began to tremble slightly. stop.

"What kind of husband do you want?" He asked hoarsely but clearly.

"Just now."

"I ask you what kind of husband you want!" the man asked again in an angry voice.

".I have no idea."

"What about me?"

Gu Yuchu remained silent.

"Why can't you even say what you want?" Ling Buhuo pressed his forehead against hers and sighed deeply, "If you don't say anything, it always makes me feel that no matter how much you do, it's not what you want." need."

Gu Yuchu patted his back gently, as if to comfort him, more like an answer.

She never wanted a man's promise, which was too ethereal and illusory. What she wanted was a man's real actions and attitude at a moment that she thought was crucial.As for what kind of crucial moment it was, she couldn't tell clearly, so she preferred not to say anything.

Only when that moment is extremely important to her, even if it is just a look back and a hug, can she feel certain in her heart, can she take off all the shackles, regardless of the outcome, and truly say that sentence: I want to spend my whole life. with you.

But the man in front of her didn't seem to understand what she meant. In desperation, she raised her head and licked his lips. Ling Buhuo then raised the corners of his mouth slightly in relief, opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Nuoda said that his mother was from Xirong. He sneaked into Beiling under the orders of Kou Sang, intending to frame Xunying for committing the crime, destroy the Eastern Territory Alliance, and kill me at the same time." Gu Yuchu curled up in Ling Buhuo's arms and held Nuo Da. Da Fang just told everything he said.

"He was very honest with you."

"Is it true?"

"It doesn't involve Dong Qi, you must hope it's true, right?"

Gu Yuchu was told something that was on his mind, and he twisted in the man's arms, as if he was acting coquettishly.Ling Buhuo was a little unhappy at first, but it disappeared because of this sudden intimacy.

"What he said is basically consistent with the verification. It's just that now he has defected to Beiling and exposed Kou Sang's conspiracy. This result is what Beiling wants to see the most, so it's not good to touch him again. After all, in name only He is still one of the clan leaders of the eleven tribes of Blackwater. Blackwater has just surrendered and everything is focused on stability. Although he is now promoted as the flag leader, there are the eyes of the Taochi clan and the hostility and suspicion of other big clans. How can you be at ease and contented, a pure land and a sincere heart are just words that sound nice?"

"How much have you eavesdropped on?" Gu Yuchu raised his head helplessly and asked. This man, who has always been a modest and gentlemanly man, can set his principles so low that he can even eavesdrop as a matter of course. It is really terrible.

"If he couldn't control his claws, I wouldn't mind hearing more about your answer." Ling Buhuo lowered his head and took a sip on her forehead.

"I'm going back on duty." Gu Yuchu tried to push his arms away, but the man refused to let go, but he persisted for a while and finally let her go.

"Shu Yuan and Gu Fan, I'll bear with you for the time being. If you let me see you letting another man take advantage of you next time, don't blame me for chopping off his arm!"

"That purse is very nice, why don't you bring it with you today?" Gu Yuchu turned around and said this as a response, Ling Buhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Looking at the woman's thin back under the moonlight, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually solidified.

Today, both of them tacitly did not mention the sudden appearance of Xunying to ambush the dead soldiers of Xirong. Whether Noda and Dongqi were involved, they all hoped that the answer was no, but no one could provide evidence now. They don't want to touch each other's bottom line again.

Noda was not afraid, but he really wasn't completely sure about it, and he didn't know what kind of crazy and decisive things this stubborn woman would do in the war between the two countries.
