Peach Blossom Button

Tao Mo hesitated for a moment. At this moment, he didn't dare to look directly into Bai Wangyan's eyes.

In just one day and night, too many things that are hard to explain have happened.Whether it was the adventure in Prince Chengxu's mansion, the woman he rescued unintentionally, or the fight against Shuangyue Pavilion again, if he really told the truth, he didn't know how to face Bai Wangyan. A child who did something wrong, he stared at the ground silently, not knowing how to start.

Bai Wangyan put the white porcelain cup in his hand on the table and sighed softly.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still guess something from King Chengjing." Bai Wangyan stood up from the chair, walked to Tao Mo, and put his hand on his shoulder. "Why is such a serious matter so serious?" Won't tell me?"

Tao Mo looked up at him, then turned his gaze back to the ground, clenched his hands into fists.

Seeing that Tao Mo still didn't speak, Bai Wangyan stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and turned Tao Mo's face upright. He stared at Tao Mo's face and said softly, "No matter how big the matter is, I will help you carry it." , what are you afraid of? Why do you have to ask that King Chengjing to protect me? He only met you a few times..."

Bai Wangyan's hands were as cold as ice, and Tao Mo wanted to turn his face away, but his hand strength was extremely strong. For a moment, Tao Mo felt as if his body was frozen, and he couldn't look away Bai Wangyan's eyes.

"You're in trouble, he sent someone to rescue you, right?" At this moment, Bai Wangyan's voice was as cold as the wind in the mountains, and the slight sound of wind came in through the window, blowing his temples Snow hair blows up.Seeing him like this for the first time, Tao Mo's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but take half a step back, but Bai Wangyan seemed to take another step forward in pursuit of him.

"You...you can't trust me so much?"

"No!" Tao Mo immediately blurted out these two words, but besides these two words, he really couldn't say anything else, so he had to look away.

Hearing this, Bai Wangyan slowly withdrew his hand. He took a step back, folded his hands, and laughed helplessly: "Yes, what virtue can I do? After all, I am not good at martial arts. It's not as powerful as the Ninth Prince at the time... In the end, it still becomes your burden, that's all."

Seeing that Bai Wangyan was getting more and more melancholy as he spoke, Tao Mo hurriedly grabbed his hand, and his eyes finally met his.Tao Mo stared at him closely: "You are right, I caused trouble."

Speaking of this, Tao Mo sighed: "That Ninth Prince... I heard that he treats people in the world very kindly. If something happens to me one day, you can still escape under his protection."

"What could happen to you?" The sadness on Bai Wangyan's face gradually subsided, and he stared at Tao Mo in great surprise, as if he felt that the other party was playing tricks on him.

Tao Mo frowned. After struggling for a moment, he insisted, "No, I can't drag you into this matter."

Having been with Tao Mo for many days, Bai Wangyan already knew that he was more stubborn than a cow, if he really didn't want to speak up, it would be useless for him to ask.Seeing him like this... Bai Wangyan stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and guessed a little bit in his heart.

Although Tao Mo was silent, he was definitely not stupid. He was able to turn to the Ninth Prince who he had "seen for the first time" for help. Presumably something happened during this time. The word "heard of" is also quite interesting.Could it be that he met someone along the way, and it was because of this person that he waded into the muddy water, or maybe it was because of this person that he "knowledged" the Ninth Prince?And because of this person's special status, he couldn't tell himself all this?

Bai Wangyan just looked at the silent black-clothed swordsman in front of him, his eyes became colder, and he said slowly: "Under the nest, there are still eggs? If something happens to you, how can I be safe and sound, don't think about it." It's that simple."

Regardless of Tao Mo's increasingly gloomy face, he continued: "No matter what, if this matter can't be resolved, I'm afraid it will be bad luck. In this world, there is no reason why everything will be fine if you escape!"

Having said that, Tao Mo's expression was a little shaken, Bai Wangyan frowned slightly, and continued to pursue: "Since you can ask the Ninth Prince for help, why can't you tell me the reason for this matter? You and I have an extraordinary relationship. , besides, I, Bai Jin, am not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death, even if the world falls, I will help you carry it together!"

At the end, Bai Wangyan slightly raised his eyes and looked straight at Tao Mo.

These words made Tao Mo tangled in his heart. He was afraid that Bai Wangyan would be implicated by him, but if he didn't say it now, it seemed that he deliberately pushed Bai Wangyan off the cliff.After thinking about it, Tao Mo raised his eyes, and happened to meet Shang Bai Wangyan's pair of cold pool-like eyes, the peach-blossom eyes that were usually smiling, but at this moment they were so deep that he was shocked.

"It's like this..." Tao Mo finally opened his mouth slowly, "When I went out this morning, I met a group of people chasing and killing a woman, so I helped her out. After that, we fled all the way to the ruined temple in the empty alley , was besieged by a group of people from Shuangyue Pavilion, just as the people of the Ninth Prince arrived and helped us."

Tao Mo only briefly described what happened, without explaining many details, and even skipped the night visit to Chengxu's palace, Bai Wangyan frowned upon hearing this.He knew that Tao Mo didn't talk much, and it's normal to make a long story short, but he skipped many details this time, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he deliberately concealed it.

But after Bai Wangyan listened, he just put the fan in his hand to his chin and smiled: "What is the identity of this woman, why is she being chased and killed?"

"She claimed to be Xie Sanniang, and she escaped from the mansion after being deceived by Prince Chenghui." Tao Mo replied, "She stole something from the mansion, which made King Chenghui furious."

"King Chenghui..." Rubbing his chin with his fingers, Bai Wangyan shook his head, "That's the third prince of the current dynasty, the imperial capital is in full swing, and this woman was able to escape from the palace by stealing something? I don't know if it's because of a different talent or luck. good?"

Tao Mo heard his doubts, thought for a moment, and said, "We also met 'Lan Yue'."

Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows: "Looking at the moon?"

"The two of us were avoiding pursuit in the imperial capital. We happened to arrive at the entrance of the black alley, and we met 'Lan Yue', but she...it was strange, she didn't do anything." Thinking of the weird girl sitting on the wall Young girl, Tao Mo still feels puzzled in her heart, did she show up just to say some sarcastic remarks?Or a provocation to yourself?

Hearing Tao Mo confide this matter so hesitantly, Bai Wangyan felt nothing in his heart.A line gradually emerged in his mind, connecting these people one by one.

Tao Mo's jade pendant stolen by "Lan Yue", "Zhai Xing" who came to return the jade pendant, and King Cheng Jing who likes to make friends with capable people and strangers...these people must know each other.

"What happened after that?" Bai Wangyan asked, "You took that woman and fled to the ruined temple?"

"Well, I originally planned to take the girl out of the city, but was besieged by the people from the Frost Moon Pavilion, including...the Fire Red Chain." Tao Mo continued, "Afterwards, the people of the Ninth Prince just arrived, and one of them took the girl from the Frost Moon Pavilion. Everyone was killed."

"Oh," Bai Wangyan responded meaningfully. He half-closed his eyes to look at the black-clothed swordsman in front of him, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "It's really timely."

This "coming in time" does not seem to be a good word.

"The killer skills in the Shuangyue Pavilion are not weak. The Ninth Prince has such a master, who can come here when you are being surrounded and beaten, and kill everyone in one fell swoop." Bai Wangyan smiled, and then It's shaking his head.

"His name is Wuyin." Tao Mo nodded slightly, "Very powerful."

Sure enough it was him.

Bai Wangyan said casually: "He's so good at kung fu, how do you know he 'just arrived'?"

"What does that mean?"

"You still have something to hide from me." Bai Wangyan glanced at him and said slowly.

Tao Mo looked at him in astonishment, and opened his mouth.And Bai Wangyan just held the folding fan gently in his hand, waiting for him to continue talking.

"I..." Tao Mo made a sound with great difficulty. Although he knew that he couldn't hide it, he still didn't know how to tell this surprising thing, "Actually... the men of King Chenghui who chased that woman at first, Killed by another."

The hand holding the folding fan stopped, Bai Wangyan looked at the black-clothed swordsman in front of him, and there was no wave in his eyes: "Another person?"

"Using stones as hidden weapons, hit each one between the eyebrows."

"The sky is full of flowers and rain." Slowly spit out these four words, Bai Wangyan slowly unfolded the folding fan, shook it lightly, and his eyes drifted to the window, "No wonder you don't want me to know about this. Someone deliberately did it in front of you Kill those King Chenghui's subordinates, let you rescue that woman smoothly..."

"Shuangyue Pavilion can't kill you, I'm afraid it will send other killers." At this point, Bai Wangyan's mouth curled up slightly, but it was hidden behind the fan, "In addition to the Divine Sword Valley, the envoy died... "

Tao Mo nodded sullenly and said, "Exactly, I don't want you to be implicated."

"But do you think the Ninth Prince is trustworthy?" Bai Wangyan shook his head and laughed, "Do you think he just wants to make friends with you and me?"

"In this imperial capital, no one can be trusted."
