Wicked documents

Between the ministers who were left behind without even getting a word of explanation before the court meeting ended, and Xiaobai who was named by the emperor without knowing it, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow suit, it was hard to tell who was in the stronger mood. Uneasy and tangled.

There is no need to worry about the court meeting. The most important topic today is the award. Although the result is not so happy, it is considered to be over anyway. Later, someone will naturally convey the emperor's order to let everyone leave.

On the contrary, it was Xiaobai, whose heart was full of ignorance about the unknown. He even suspected that the emperor had already regretted his reward. Since it would be embarrassing to take it back, it would be better to kill him as a big trouble.But if you think about it along this line of thought, it is still a dead end. What is his identity, even if the emperor sees him as an eyesore, there is no need to personally take his life.

The way forward is not the path to leave the palace, but to go deeper and deeper, with flowers and willows scattered along the way, and wherever you look up, you will find beautiful scenery that can be drawn into the painting.It's a pity that Xiaobai didn't have the heart to appreciate it. He was full of uneasiness, and every step he took was extremely mechanical and stiff.

Xi Ran, who was leading the way, neither stopped nor looked back, but still expressed the full meaning of ridicule, "Haven't you always been very powerful before? Why are you afraid now?"

Xiaobai really wanted to declare that he was not afraid, but panicked.But on second thought, isn't it embarrassing to panic?It doesn't seem to be much better.

"Forget it, it's here."

Following the direction of Xiran's finger, there is an octagonal pavilion built on the mountainside.The pavilion has a small structure and looks extremely delicate.It's just that the slanted eaves corners bring a bit of freedom and ease.As for the cyan shadow gauze that hangs down and floats in the breeze at any time, it adds a bit of gentle and charming atmosphere.

Since Xiaobai was forcibly rescued from the altar by Xiran, he has been growing up in the palace, but it is a pity that his background is there, which prevents him from learning those extravagant enjoyments all his life.But looking at the octagonal pavilion in front of me, I still have to admit that its design is exquisite.

Did Xi Ran prepare these?If it was him, what would a dignified emperor prepare for these things?

Xiran's voice sounded quite unnatural, and even vaguely complained, "You won the first battle, which is a cleansing for you. I thought I would celebrate you in private before the official reward, but who knows you As soon as I came back, I got into a ghost place like the abandoned palace."

I went there to remind you and to warn you.Xiran, you must realize that I am no longer the Xiaobai I used to be.You let me out of the palace, but I am not a noble of monsters and beasts. A broad sea and sky will not make my mind broad, on the contrary, it will only make my heart narrower and narrower.I thought that after meeting last night, you would not allow me to live on.But I don't know why you didn't do anything, so Xiran, I will take it as you acquiescing to everything I do.

——These words kept circling in Xiaobai's heart, and he wanted to speak out out of anger several times, but in the end he was forced to hold back.

Xiaobai is not angry, but it does not mean that the other will not.Apparently, the tricks played by the newly promoted General Bai at the court meeting still angered the emperor. He kept his face before everyone, but now there are no outsiders, but he is too lazy to suppress himself.

Xi Ran didn't say hello anymore, and took the lead to go to the Bajiao Pavilion.

Although the pavilion was not built in a towering place, it was not too low, but there was no path or stone ladder to reach it.

This is certainly not a difficult task for Xiran, he doesn't even need to show his wings, he just mobilizes a little breeze, and the whole person is already climbing up like a fairy.But he didn't think about what Xiaobai, a human being, would do. No, maybe he thought about it, but he deliberately didn't help, and wanted to see him make a fool of himself as a punishment.

The stone table in the pavilion was filled with all kinds of snacks, exquisite dishes, and mellow wine. Just by looking at these things, one could tell what Xi Ran's intention was.

At this moment, the idea of ​​celebrating Xiaobai is true, but the resentment and unhappiness in my heart is also true.So after going up to the octagonal pavilion, Xiran sat down on his own, poured himself a glass of wine, and just put on a posture of drinking by himself. As for how Xiaobai would come up, he didn't seem to have the slightest idea Concerned, there is no meaning to look back.

However, it doesn't matter whether you see it with your own eyes or not, as long as you have a wisp of divine consciousness, even a single flower or leaf falling within a radius cannot exceed his perception.

Xiaobai didn't complain about the injustice, nor did he raise any opinions, he just climbed up silently.In many steep and steep places, he had to use both hands and feet. It was okay at the beginning, but as his physical strength was exhausted, it was difficult for him to maintain the rhythm of breathing. Then a gasp or two.Occasionally, due to excessive force, the trampling caused the stones to be brittle, and "click click" rolled all the way down.

Xiran heard all the movements, no matter big or small, but he still chose to turn a deaf ear.

Finally Xiaobai went to the octagonal pavilion, as if he was afraid of being rejected, he didn't go to the table immediately, but stood in a corner, lowered his head and carefully patted the dust on his body.

A glass of wine was handed to him.

Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, and raised his eyes to meet a pair of golden pupils that seemed to be carved out of spar.The other party's hand holding the wine glass was being passed in front of him, and his shadow was reflected in the clear wine, an extremely gorgeous face.Xiaobai's heart was beating like a drum, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.In the end, he could only hang his half-raised head down deeply, and his lower jaw was firmly attached to his collar.

His vision suddenly became narrow, and he could only see a small piece of land under his feet, cutting off the face that kept dangling in front of his eyes, Xiao Bai felt much more at ease.Only then did he reach out to take the wine glass, but he didn't know what kind of muscle the other party had cramped, it was obviously the wine poured for him, but Xi Ran took it back abruptly at the last moment.

"Are you addicted to playing bitter tricks? Have you tasted the sweetness from it? So you think this trick is very useful?"

Xiran's questioning suddenly caught his ears, causing Xiao Bai to tremble uncontrollably.The hand that was gesturing to hold the wine glass just froze in mid-air, neither moving forward nor retreating.

Xi Ran glanced at the other party's nails that had been split due to climbing, and her voice was even colder, "Such a hill can be climbed up with a lift of your legs, and you can make yourself so embarrassed. I don't believe your current skill It has regressed to this point.”

Xiaobai admitted that he did it on purpose. This person's bad mood seems so obvious, he can't rush to hit the knife's edge, can he?To dawdle for a moment counts as a moment.With a little insignificant injury, the other party's heart softens, and maybe he will give in like in the court meeting, then he can handle this test smoothly.

However, why did the bitter trick that worked before fail in the blink of an eye?

The more she looked at the bloodline on Xiaobai's fingertips, the more angry Xiran became, and she continued to scold him endlessly, "I don't need to eat with my dirty paws. When are you going to wash them off?" , when will you come back?"

I can still hear the meaning of making use of the topic to some extent, but this time, no matter how you look at it, it is Xiaobai's own fault. Since he has overdone it by himself, of course he can only make up for it by himself.He didn't say much, just replied, "Yes." He remembered that there was a stream at the foot of the mountain, so he just went there to wash his hands.

With his arms propped up on the railing, Xiaobai was about to jump down.

"Wait! Come back!"

Xi Ran is the one who instructs others to find a place to wash their hands, and it is also Xi Ran who obstructs them halfway. The speed of their changes is simply overwhelming.Xiaobai was taken aback for a moment, at least he wasn't stupid and hopeless, and immediately threw the stubble of washing his hands out of the blue, and moved towards the stone table step by step.In the middle of the journey, Xiaobai still didn't forget to put his hands behind his back, because he had nothing else to use, so he wiped the dirt on his hands with the back of his clothes.

Seeing the other party approaching, Xi Ran didn't bother to open her mouth, but just tapped the stone bench opposite with her chin.

Knowing that he offended the emperor overtly and secretly, Xiaobai didn't dare to have the slightest thought of rebelling, and sat down obediently, with his hands folded on his knees, as if he had returned to the time when he was taken from the altar by Xiran. The rescue scene.Xiao Bai, who was sitting upright, seemed to be the little boy who was at a loss when he found his life.

It's a pity that things that can't go back just can't go back.Even if the behavior can be disguised, the fire ignited by ambition embedded in the eyes cannot be easily extinguished.

In front of the courtiers at the court meeting, Xiao Bai could obviously suppress the flames of ambition to a minimum, ensuring that no one would find out.But why when only the two of them were left alone, it was as if a pot of unknown oil had been poured into the flames, and it couldn't be more prosperous.

Since he couldn't control it, he could only lower his head to cover it up.

"I'm really trying to hide my skills on purpose." After sitting for a while, Xi Ran still couldn't hear anything, so Xiao Bai could only find a topic with difficulty.

His ears were filled with the subtle sound of Xiran's continuous pouring and drinking, the wine flowing from the spout, swept a graceful arc and then poured into the wine glass.Even though Xiaobai lowered his head and couldn't see this scene, the fine wine was buzzing in the cup, and every slight sound would viciously touch the tip of his heart.

The fingers holding the cup, like knuckles carved out of jade, should be three points whiter and three points more delicate than porcelain cups;

The color of the lips stained with wine should be more moist than usual;

and also……

Xiran still didn't answer, just hummed a syllable from her nose.

Xiaobai bit the bullet and continued, "But I'm not targeting you by hiding my skills. I just don't want to attract too much attention. In fact, even if I use all my strength, I still can't compete with the monsters. Moment might save my life." According to the original intention, I just intend to explain clearly, as long as it can appease the other party's unhappiness, there is nothing wrong with even saying a few soft words, but the topic has turned into self-deprecating .

The clenched fist, the sharp pain caused by the nails piercing the palm at least made Xiaobai sober up, and the manuscript used to explain it had disappeared, so he could only say with a wry smile, "Xi Ran, I know everything. It was all taught to me by you, even if I conceal it intentionally, what can I lie to you about?"

As for the matter of him calling him by his name, just suppressing the four characters of the distinction between monarch and minister is enough to make Xiaobai pay the price with his life.It's just that Xiran didn't pay much attention to those red tapes, and Xiaobai would only call him by his name directly on very special occasions. At this moment, there was always an indescribable sense of solemnity.

Whether the other party's explanation just now is true or not, Xi Ran didn't bother to analyze each word one by one to distinguish, after all, there is still a seven or eight percent truth.He poured another glass of wine and pushed it in front of Xiao Bai, but he didn't take it back halfway. "I taught you those things, not just to save your life."

What is Xi Ran's purpose?Perhaps this question is long overdue.

"Xiran, I have never dared to ask you, why did you save me back then?"

Xi Ran is not surprised that she will face this sooner or later.It was obvious that he wanted to cleanse the other party, but he brought the spirit of self-entertainment to the extreme. He picked up a piece of fresh asparagus with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. This idle posture was really incompatible with the current topic. "If you ask me this, you might as well ask yourself, why did you ask me for help in the first place?"

Xiaobai was taken aback.help?The sacrifices placed on the altar were given anesthesia and dumb drugs in advance. The only thing he could move at that time should be a pair of eyes, right?Stained red with blood, he wished to curse the whole world and all the living beings buried with him.

Xiaobai couldn't imagine how Xiran could see the meaning of "help" from such terrifying eyes?

After Xiran tasted the asparagus, she was very satisfied, so she naturally picked up a chopstick and put it in the other party's bowl.Xiaobai still refused to look up, and only left a hairpin for him to admire.Xi Ran was also helpless, and said in her heart—this guy went out for a trip, his other skills may not have increased much, but this rebellion has almost doubled.

"Although you couldn't speak at the time, it was clear that you were unwilling to die. Isn't this reason enough for me to bring your life back?"

The other party clearly used joking words, probably hoping to turn over this old story as soon as possible.However, for the Monster Beast Emperor, this is nothing more than a little effort, and it is very rare to be able to occupy a small corner in memory; but for Xiaobai himself, this is the boundary between life and death, and he really has no way to achieve the same freedom.

Xiran picked up the wine glass again, squinted at the dark head opposite, and cursed secretly, "It's really troublesome" while inevitably worrying.He was wrong just now—this guy Xiaobai went out and led soldiers, not only became more rebellious, but he was obviously not easy to fool.Even though he sat there without saying a word, his nearly straight shoulders still vividly expressed the meaning of persistence.

First she sighed, then Xi Ran raised her neck and poured a full glass of wine into it.
