Xi Honglei was forcefully pulled forward by Mu Yunmeng, frowning, Xi Honglei looked back at Ran Yunpo, who was standing alone behind, suddenly his head became hot, and he shook off Mu Yunmeng's hand.
.
Xi Honglei's actions made Mu Yunmeng turn around in confusion, slow down his pace, and silently asked Xi Honglei.
"I can leave on my own." Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng with a gloomy look and said coldly.
Stepping in front of Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei knew that her move would inevitably anger Ran Yunpo. But as of today, she has no chance to look back.
He and Mu Yunmeng walked to the place where the carriage was placed. Xi Honglei silently sat in the carriage. After seeing Mu Yunmeng also entered the carriage, Xi Honglei said worriedly: "I am leaving with you today, Chu."
The prince still doesn’t know what he will do. Mu Yunmeng, I’m not going to ask you what your plans are now. I just want to ask you, can you guarantee my mother’s safety?”
"Don't worry." Mu Yunmeng lay lazily in the carriage, squinting his eyes and looking at Xi Honglei. "Since I can take you out of the palace, I naturally think of your mother. You are the emperor.
Ran Yunpo, who personally promised to leave the palace with me, will not do anything to Xifu openly even if he is angry again. Besides, your mother has Zheng Siqi by her side now. Don't forget that she is Leng Xiao's person after all. If
If something happens to your mother, Leng Xiao will not sit idly by and do nothing."
After Mu Yunmeng said such words to Xi Honglei, Xi Honglei could not continue to ask him any more questions.
Within a moment of getting into the carriage, the two of them were swaying toward the outside. After breathing for a long time, they felt a little uncomfortable from the swaying, so they wanted to open the window and breathe in the fresh air outside. But they couldn't.
As soon as he reached the car window, Mu Yunmeng stopped him.
"Wait a minute, there are people from Ran Yunpo who are following you outside." Mu Yunmeng said in a low voice with his eyes closed.
Xi Honglei frowned and glanced at Mu Yunmeng. After much deliberation, she couldn't help but couldn't help the curiosity in her heart. She moved her body and leaned closer to Mu Yunmeng, closing the distance between the two.
"Hey." Xi Honglei tugged on Mu Yunmeng's sleeve, "What's going on with that crazy guy? Is it really him who said the rumors about Yun Shang?"
"Of course not." Mu Yunmeng slowly opened his eyes, sighed softly, sat up, and looked at Xi Honglei with a helpless expression. "Yunshang is not dead, and he can't possibly say that.
Come with some words."
"Then what are you..." Xi Honglei opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then he understood what was going on in an instant.
The crazy people have spread the rumors, saying that Yun Shang is dead and wants to steal the dragon marrow jade. They are all false! Even if these news are circulating in the world, it must be Mu Yunmeng and the others who sent someone to release them.
!The goal of coming out of the palace this time is basically aimed at that crazy man!
Licking his lower lip, Xi Honglei pulled Mu Yunmeng's shirt. Looking closely into Mu Yunmeng's eyes, Xi Honglei asked quietly: "What are you planning? What is Shukuang?"
Man, why do you want to arrest him?"
"I knew you would guess it sooner or later." Mu Yunmeng felt that Xi Honglei's question was almost natural. If Xi Honglei never asked him about it, he would have felt something was wrong.
Looking at Xi Honglei with a calm expression, Mu Yunmeng estimated the time to leave the city. After confirming that Ran Yunpo's pursuers had been dealt with by his own people, Mu Yunmeng spoke in a low voice and told Xi Honglei what happened.
the truth.
"I didn't lie to you about Shu Kuang's identity. He is indeed a good person that everyone calls him, and he is also a famous Thousand-Handed Thief in the world. The purpose of leaving the palace to find him this time is to use the name of the government to catch him. In other words,
That means we want to win him over to our side."
"Then why did you bring me out? I can't help you with this kind of thing, right?" Xi Honglei vaguely felt that Mu Yunmeng had other plans.
"I brought you out because I don't want you to go back again." Mu Yunmeng looked directly at Xi Honglei and said something that Xi Honglei couldn't accept. "You leave the palace this time, and you can't go back to that place again."
So there is no need for you to worry about what Ran Yunpo will do to Xi Mansion, all this has nothing to do with you."
"Mu Yunmeng!" Xihong looked at Mu Yunmeng with tears in her eyes. She really didn't expect that he would drag her into trouble in this way! Xihong shouted Mu Yunmeng's name loudly,
Lei quickly stood up and pushed open the carriage door, shouting to the groom: "Stop the car! I want to get out!"
Mu Yunmeng stretched out his hand to pull Xi Honglei back to his original position, with cold stars twinkling in his eyes, Mu Yunmeng spoke in a clear voice, asking: "Isn't it what you always wanted to escape from that place? Is there anything else you can't let go of? I'm about to
Who is the identity of the Princess of Chu whom you have obtained? Or is it Ran Yunpo?"
Mu Yunmeng's aggressiveness made it impossible for Xi Honglei to calm down. Taking a deep breath, Xi Honglei counterattacked without any sign of weakness: "What I can't let go of is not my identity or my status, nor Ran Yunpo. What I can't let go of is tranquility."
My life and my mother! Mu Yunmeng, I beg you, can you spare me? I know what you and Leng Xiao are planning, but I really don’t want to be involved by you! What I want to do is to live in the future.
A life of going out to work and resting at sunset is a life without fighting, killing, or seizing power..."
"A life that begins when the sun rises and rests when the sun sets?" Mu Yunmeng interrupted Xi Honglei's words with a cold voice and shook his head gently. Mu Yunmeng whispered and shattered all Xi Honglei's illusions. "Stop dreaming.
.You are a smart woman. Since you have guessed our plan, you should also know that even if you go back safely now, when the real war starts, will the emperor and Ran Yunpo let Zeng and I go?
Are you in contact? Xi Honglei, I took you out of the city today for your own good, and we will also arrange your mother's affairs. But that's all I can promise you. If you are still greedy and want other things
, there is nothing I can do.”
Mu Yunmeng's words were heard word for word by Xi Honglei. Sitting there dejectedly, Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng with stiff eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.
Mu Yunmeng's words were correct. Even if she went back now, she would have to face a choice one day. If Lin Wanru could escape safely and stay away from here, then she would have settled her worries. But what exactly are they going to escape from?
Where to go? When did the war that Mu Yunmeng said start?
In just one day, Xi Honglei could see that Mu Yunmeng was different from before, and the feeling in Xi Honglei's heart that Mu Yunmeng was the real mastermind became even stronger. Because Leng Xiao had no reason and no position.
Going against the imperial court, there is no chance of taking advantage of the dragon marrow jade. Lin Wanru said that the dragon marrow jade was a treasure of the royal family, but Xi Honglei felt that it was more than just a treasure.
Looking at Mu Yunmeng's calm expression, Xi Honglei lowered his head with complicated emotions. He didn't say another word to Mu Yunmeng until he arrived at the next place.
The carriage stopped, and Mu Yunmeng jumped out of the carriage first. Turning back and reaching out to Xi Honglei, Mu Yunmeng smiled and said, "Eat something before we leave."
Xi Honglei curled her lips, knocked off Mu Yunmeng's hand, and got off the carriage. Looking at the restaurant in front of her, Xi Honglei strode in.
He and Mu Yunmeng found a seat and sat down, but Xi Honglei found that the coachman had not followed. Looking for the coachman in confusion, Xi Honglei asked in confusion: "Don't the coachman need to eat?"
"He will solve it himself." Mu Yunmeng replied to Xi Honglei nonchalantly, and then after ordering two dishes, he and Xi Honglei ate and drank, and rested for a while before the two of them walked out slowly.
Restaurant.
As soon as Mu Yunmeng walked out, he noticed something was wrong with the coachman's expression. He signaled Xi Honglei to get into the car first. Mu Yunmeng stood in front of the coachman, asked the reason for the matter in a low voice, and thought for a moment. Then it seemed as if
As if nothing happened, he turned around and went back to the car.
"What's wrong?" Xi Honglei asked curiously when she saw Mu Yunmeng coming back.
"It's nothing serious." Mu Yunmeng adjusted his position comfortably and sat there, and said calmly: "It's just that many Beggar Clan disciples were killed, and according to the survivors, the murderer happened to be Leng Xiao
That’s all.”
When Xi Honglei heard what Mu Yunmeng said, she immediately burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Mu Yunmeng couldn't help but ask when she saw the corners of Xi Honglei's mouth rising and the smile in her eyes.
"I just think it's funny. Rumors are everywhere these days." Xi Honglei tilted her head and looked at Mu Yunmeng and said.
"How do you know that this matter was not done by Leng Xiao?"
"It's just a feeling." Xi Honglei shrugged and expressed his opinion. "Beggar Gang disciples are all over the world. There is no need for Leng Xiao to anger such a big gang and make himself the enemy of so many people. And even if
It was the Beggar Gang who accidentally provoked him. Even Leng Xiao would definitely kill them without anyone noticing, just like he did with Zhang Heng's family. The situation is so critical now, he would not be so stupid.
You did this kind of thing. Mu Yunmeng, who did you offend?"
Mu Yunmeng quietly listened to Xi Honglei's views and smiled without trace. Closing his eyes, Mu Yunmeng said slowly: "The news came from the capital, so who do you think is responsible for this matter?"
for?"
"Prince Chu...?" Xi Honglei thought for a while and opened her mouth in surprise. But soon, she was relieved. Ran Yunpo had wanted to deal with Leng Xiao for a long time, even if he did such a thing,
There is nothing surprising. But it is a pity for those innocent Beggar Clan disciples. You must know that Xi Honglei has always had a good impression of the Beggar Clan, a sect that he has only heard about but has never had personal contact with.
