In the attic, Ao Wu listened to Hang Shiqi's incessant "Ouch" sound, and specifically told his men to ignore it.
He stood by the window for a while, then closed the window to block out the sound.
"Lord Wolf King is so heartless. With such a beauty here, I don't know how to pity her." Yun Wuzhen held the wine glass and joked: "You are not afraid, the beauty will be hurt by you and leave you."
"The door is unlocked, and he is free to stay or go," Ao Wu said.
Ao Wu had originally planned to let Hang Qi open, and the guards had also been mobilized, but who knew that Hang Qi decided to dig a hole from the back and escape, and ended up getting his neck stuck, unable to get out or in.
Ao Wu remembered that he had just seen Hang Shiqi's head peeking out of the carriage. He couldn't hold it back, and several nasty chuckles escaped from his throat.
You're so stupid. You don't know how many days you can survive if you let him go. The world is going to be in chaos, so it's better to keep him close to you.
Yun Wuzhen took a sip of wine: "You really won't let him go?"
"Don't let me go." Ao Wu suppressed his smile: "I gave him a chance to run away. He can't run away because he is stupid."
"Do you like Hang Shiqi?" Yun Wuzhen was a little surprised. He and Ao Wu were similar in age and had known each other for many years. He didn't expect that the ten thousand-year-old iron tree would bloom one day. He thought Ao Wu really planned to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
.
He could clearly see that when Ao Wu talked about Hang Shiqi, his tone was cold, but the corners of his brows and eyes could not help but add a bit of tenderness. He was tempted but didn't realize that he was like this.
"Maybe." Ao Wu didn't deny it. He didn't know whether his feelings for Hang Shiqi were considered to be likes. Hang Shiqi was sometimes so stupid that people worried that one day he would trick him to death. His methods of causing trouble were also endless, and his attitude towards life and
Frostwolves are completely different, casual and indulgent.
But he is cute. His wild ideas are cute, his stupidity is cute, and his unscrupulous attitude is cute. Occasionally, when Ao Wu is overwhelmed by responsibilities, he can feel a sense of relaxation that he has not seen for a long time.
.
The feeling is like: Look, even like this, Hang Shiqi is still living a good life with his teeth and claws open. You can also relax a little and don't tighten yourself so much.
Ao Wu touched the You Tan Bing Po hanging on his waist: "If I can have a partner in this life, it will probably be him. Provided that he is willing."
"Then I think you're in trouble. You can't catch a beauty like this." Yun Wuzhen shook his head.
"This is my business, just don't provoke him." Ao Wu warned unceremoniously.
Yun Wuzhen twirled his wine glass, not afraid at all: "It seems that I am free whether to provoke him or not. Your Highness, the Wolf King, since you are not Xiao Qi's husband yet, you seem to have no right to interfere in our communication."
Ao Wu: "Yun Wuzhen, how many lovers have you had over the years? Do you need me to help you recall them? You enjoy the process of chasing people, and if you don't want to maintain a stable relationship, I have no right to interfere. But Hang Shiqi can't, he and you are not the same
A class of people."
Yun Wuzhen laughed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, listen. The jealousy in these words is a bit strong. If you really care about Hang Shiqi so much, what you want to do now is not to warn me to stay away, but to be nice to him.
Chase people down. For people like him, no matter how heartless they are, if they put someone at ease, they will be there for the rest of their lives."
Ao Wu frowned: "I know you still provoke me?"
Yun Wuzhen: "But it's interesting to chase people like this. Let the pure white paper be dyed with color. Make people who don't understand feelings move. Aren't you curious? What does a person like Hang Shiqi look like when he is moved?"
Ao Wu recalled for no reason the scene of Hang Shiqi discussing chicken drumsticks with him in bed in a serious manner: "I'll probably think of you as his drumstick."
Yun Wuzhen choked on his wine and coughed for a long time before he recovered: "Your sense of humor is really unique."
"That's the end of the relationship issue." Ao Wu saw that Yun Wuzhen couldn't be persuaded and refused to continue to argue with him: "You come to me tonight, you should have something serious to do."
"I think feelings are the most serious thing in the world, and you can be more casual about it." Yun Wuzhen said this, and finally turned the topic back to the topic: "But since the Wolf King wants to talk, let's talk openly and honestly."
"In the past six months, according to the clues I have found, there have been seven assassinations targeting high-ranking members of the royal family. Just last month, an uncle of mine who was in charge of city defense died in the home of his new lover. The lover disappeared without a trace the next day.
There is no trace, and all the evidence proves that she is a shepherd dog from the northern royal city. Of course, Yunhu will never doubt his allies. Combined with Yun Qing's appearance today, I think someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between the seven royal families."
"There were eleven assassinations, seven successful and four failed. This is the information I received. In addition to today's ambush, I also experienced a more covert assassination not long ago. The opponent used Nanxia Menghun
Butterfly toxin.”
"It's great that you are safe and sound. Have you caught the assassin?" Yun Wuzhen asked.
"Assassin..." Ao Wu paused: "The assassin has his head stuck on the back wall of the carriage downstairs."
"The assassin is Xiao Qi?!" Yun Wuzhen's voice suddenly raised due to surprise: "How is this possible?"
But he knew in his heart that Ao Wu would not make fun of serious matters. Even if the truth sounds incredible, it is still the truth.
Ao Wu looked out the window in the direction: "I also thought it was impossible, so I relaxed my vigilance and almost succeeded."
"What happened next?" Yun Wuzhen was still immersed in kissing the beauty Xiao Qi and was shocked that he was actually a killer. He even began to wonder whether Hang Qi's silly behavior these days is just an act. If so, then it would be a shame.
It's a bit too scary.
"Do you think Hang Shiqi's usual behavior is disguised?" Ao Wu stared at Yun Wuzhen's eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Isn't it?" Yun Wuzhen asked. How could a serious killer be like Hang Shiqi?
"No. There is a big gap in his memory, and he doesn't even know many common sense things." Ao Wu spent time with Hang Qi Qi day and night, and naturally knew that Hang Qi Qi's behavior was based on instinct, and it was impossible to fake it perfectly.
"A normal killer really shouldn't have such a personality, so I suspect that Hang Shiqi was not a killer from the beginning, but was controlled by someone through some special means."
Yun Wuzhen followed Ao Wu's train of thought: "Hang Shiqi looks similar to Frost Wolf, which is his biggest advantage. If someone picks him, it won't be too difficult for him to sneak into the Frost Wolf team and get close to you.
"
Ao Wu thought about the process of Hang Qiru's hunting team. Not only was it not difficult, it was almost too smooth. He even found out his identity on the day of the full moon and had a chance to assassinate him.
Ao Wu thought about the Dream Soul Butterfly poison at the foot of the bed that day and sighed with emotion: "But when he had the chance to do it, he gave up."
"He actively refused the controller's order? Why?" Yun Wuzhen was puzzled.
Ao Wu asked back: "Does Hang Shiqi seem to be obedient and allowed to be controlled by others?"
Ao Wu: "But they also discovered my weakness. They will probably assassinate me again soon."
Yun Wuzhen did not ask what the weakness was, and simply said: "Aren't you going to interrogate Hang Shiqi here? He might know a lot about the behind-the-scenes information."
Ao Wu didn't think so. When Hang Shiqi first came to the north, he couldn't even recognize that he was the Wolf King. Even if he had met the people behind the scenes, he might not know their identities. But he didn't know.
It should be clear: “Only by keeping calm and taking a long-term view can you catch big fish.”
Yun Wu really understands that the killer he sent out has lost control. The people behind the scenes will definitely take action again, and at the same time, they will find a way to catch Hang Shiqi, who has lost control. Ao Wudiao is one of these people, and Hang Shiqi is just a bait thrown outside.
If Hang Shiqi stays in the team unharmed, the other party will think that although Hang Shiqi gave up the assassination, Ao Wu did not discover their plan, so they can boldly carry out the next action.
But there is more than just this kind of fishing method. Ao Wu actually still wants to protect Hang Shiqi.
Yun Wuzhen raised his wine glass and saluted Ao Wu: "It seems that you are fully prepared. I wish you success in fishing."
Ao Wu: "This is just the beginning."
Yun Wuzhen: "I wonder what the Wolf King has to say about the motives behind these assassins?"
"It's too early to draw conclusions now." Ao Wu said: "The few assassins who have been caught so far are either just like the Hyena Clan and Yun Qing today, they only have a partial understanding of their employer's situation. They are just participating driven by profit. Or they are just like the Hyena Clan and Yun Qing today.
Just keep it tight-lipped, and even if you kill it, you will never reveal a word. All we have clues are only a few limited assassination data. We cannot rule out whether the seven royal families were involved in directing and acting in it, and how many people took advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters."
"Seven royal families are involved?" Yun Wuzhen was frightened by this bold speculation: "No way, the seven royal families have always advanced and retreated together. Even if there have been many small frictions, they have always had the same interests in major aspects."
Yun Wuzhen originally thought it was just some small beast tribes messing around. If someone from the Seven Royal Clan really got involved, it would be a major event that could overturn the order of the continent.
Ao Wu: "Until there is evidence, everything is just speculation. We cannot take it lightly, and there is no need to get into trouble."
Yun Wuzhen took a sip of wine to calm down his shock: "It's enough for me to know that the Frostwolves will not abandon their allies."
Ao Wu sarcastically said: "You don't look so innocent."
Yun Wuzhen lowered his head and smiled, and took out a leather scroll from the space: "So I brought the sincerity of the Yunhu clan. This covenant was written by the clan's contract priest, in duplicate, and it said the assassination.
Relevant information is shared between our two tribes, and we advance and retreat together. If anyone breaks the promise and breaks the promise, the covenant will spontaneously combust. The other party will also know immediately."
Under the contract, Fox King Yun Wuhuan had already signed his name in blood. Ao Wu bit his finger and wrote his name on the other side. A pale golden light lit up from the text, and the contract came into effect. Ao Wu and Yun Wuzhen each left their own names.
Collect the next one.
Hang Shiqi screamed for half the night, but no one came to save him. The stable was sheltered from the wind and rain, and it was not too cold. Hang Shiqi finally maintained his animal form and fell asleep with his head outside.
When Ao Wu saw Hang Shiqi the next day, he was sleeping soundly. His tongue fell out of his mouth and hung long on one side. When the car was pulled out, he didn't even wake up. His chin swayed with the carriage, and he was behind the car.
Knock on the crossbar.
Do I like...him? Ao Wu fell into deep doubts when he saw Hang Shiqi sleeping carelessly.
It wasn't until the whole team set off that Hang Shiqi was awakened by Ao Jingxia's commanding voice.
"Huh?" Hang Shiqi moved and found that his head was still stuck outside the carriage. In front of him was a pair of slender and powerful legs wrapped in hunting trousers, which looked familiar.
Hang Shiqi moved and his neck was sore that it was stuck, and he shouted: "Brother, save me, save me quickly, I can't pull my head out!"
"Hang Qi." Ao Wu stood outside with his arms folded: "Should you explain first what is going on with this hole?"
"Ao Wu?" Hang Shiqi heard Ao Wu's voice, and his ears fell back in fear. Then he rolled his eyes, raked the pot upside down and said: "This is an accident. The quality of your carriage is too bad. I don't know.
Carefully hit it in the back, and the head came out and got stuck here. I yelled for a long time but no one came to care about me. My neck is sore. Please help me get the head out first."
The quality is so bad. I just carelessly dug out the wood for six or seven hours. In other words, after two or three hours of chewing, the silk fabric on the side of the car was almost torn. Well, the quality
It's not good at all! My teeth and claws don't hurt particularly. Hang Shiqi muttered in his heart, trying to make his words sound true.
Ao Wu's carriage has a very high security level, so it is naturally unlikely to be damaged by a collision. Ao Wu knew in his heart that Hang Shiqi was trying to escape from prison, so he deliberately asked him: "You were really careless. Didn't you want to take the opportunity to slip away again?"
"Of course not!" Hang Shiqi shook his head like a rattle on the spot: "I have deeply reflected on my mistakes yesterday. Running around is really inappropriate. I know I was wrong. So please help me and put this
Can you please open the annoying railing? Please?"
"Yeah." Ao Wu reached out and grabbed the railings on both sides of Hang Shi's neck. He tightened his fingers and pushed up and down. After a few breaths, the gap between the railings was widened a lot. Hang Shiqi tried to move and finally successfully retracted his head.
Get back in the carriage.
Ao Wu stepped onto the carriage and saw that it was in a mess. Not to mention the hole in the back, there was also a big hole in the ground, revealing the reinforcement stone slab underneath. Ao Wu was fine if he put the scrolls and documents in the cabinet, but the table was already there.
Everything fell off, the cushions were stuffed in the corner, there were sawdust scattered on the floor, and sharp scratches were all over the walls. I wonder if there had been some fierce fight here.
"Are these of poor quality?" Ao Wu asked with his eyes lowered.
Hang Shiqi: "Yes, yes, that's too bad. I have nothing to do, so I checked it all for you. You don't need to thank me. It's free."
Ao Wu: "What are the test results?"
"It's time for you to change the carriage." Hang Shiqi returned to his human form and said, rubbing his sore neck.
"Thank you very much." Ao Wu tidied up the carriage casually. He liked to be tidy and he packed things quickly and neatly. There were holes that could not be repaired, but after he tidied up the messy carriage, he finally made it fit for people.
Ao Wu sat down cross-legged and waved to Hang Shiqi: "Come here."
"Ah? What for?" Hang Shiqi knew that his words could not scare Ao Wu, and he was afraid that Ao Wu would be angry and beat him up, so he did not dare to go there.
Ao Wu's tone did not sound angry, but instead sounded rare and gentle: "Isn't your neck sore? Let me rub it for you."
"Oh, it's sore! I need to rub it." Hang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down next to Ao Wu.
Ao Wu pinched the back of Hang Shiqi's neck with his slender and powerful fingertips, and slowly kneaded Hang Shiqi's fair and fragile neck with his thumb.
Ao Wu: "You are right, I have too much control. You can live your life in your own way from now on, as long as you can afford the consequences."
Hang Shiqi didn't expect that Ao Wu would take the initiative to admit his mistakes. This made Hang Shiqi feel embarrassed and said hurriedly: "I know that you are angry because of my safety, but sometimes I just have poor self-control and can't control it.
, how about you find a rope to tie me up, and just pull me when I run around?"
"What kind of rope are you tying up? You are a human being, not an animal." Ao Wu smiled lightly and shook his head. He took out a wolf fang from the space and said, "The punishment has been passed. I give this to you as the blood of the ghost you killed yesterday.
Vine rewards.”
"Do you know it was me who killed you?" Hang Shiqi pricked up his ears. He was happy that he no longer had to hide his merits and fame, but he was also worried that Ao Wu would ask him how he killed the ghost blood vine. Fortunately, he had already thrown away the dagger, so he shouldn't be able to kill it.
being doubted.
"It's rooted under the flower bud. You crawled out from there. You must have broken its root." Ao Wu pretended not to know about the poisonous matter of the Dream Soul Butterfly.
"Yes, it's me!" Hang Shiqi raised his chest and raised his head, wagging his tail, took the wolf fang from Ao Wu, and touched it in his hand.
The wolf tooth was polished smooth and round, like a fine jade stone, with dense golden runes engraved on it. A round hole was cut out at the end, and a black rope was worn on it: "What is this?"
"It's my baby tooth." Ao Wu said, "If you wear it, all the forces in the north will know that you are under my protection. When I am away, if you need anything, you can take it and find someone to help."
It sounded very powerful. Hang Shiqi thought for a while and asked: "Then, will I get a discount on buying chicken legs while wearing it?"
Ao Wu laughed: "It's free. You can eat whatever you want. In the royal city, no one will ask you for money."
"Then this is really the best reward I have ever received!" Hang Shiqi hung the wolf fang around his neck with great pleasure.
Looking at the wolf teeth on Hang Shiqi's chest, Ao Wu curled up his lips. He didn't say yes. You Tan is a flower that expresses love, and the wolf teeth are equivalent to a declaration of relationship. Hang Shiqi wears his baby teeth, so he can
He can eat and drink at will in the royal city, but those merchants will not ask him for money, they will only send the bill to the palace.:,,,
