Shuang Yue wanted to say more, but the high priest stopped him: "Yue'er, that's enough."
"But, father, I am telling the truth. I am doing it all for..." Shuangyue's eyes were red. She had always been strong, but she also showed a bit of grievance at this moment.
"You are doing it all for your own selfish reasons." The high priest sighed, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as ravines. His daughter made him worry-free in other aspects, but she was obsessed with the word love.
"Hang Shiqi is His Highness the Wolf King's sweetheart. Whether he is good or bad, His Highness the Wolf King has his own judgment in his heart. Do you really think His Highness the Wolf King doesn't know what so-called inside information you have obtained? You will only destroy His Highness by talking like this.
Arrangement. Right, His Highness the Wolf King."
Ao Wu heard that the high priest was obviously talking about Shuangyue, but actually he was beating himself up. He nodded slightly: "I do know the organization Shuangyue mentioned. They are playing a big game, and they want far more than just me.
This matter is complicated. The fewer people who know about it, the better. I also ask the priesthood not to get involved. I have my own arrangements."
"In that case, I won't bother you, old man." Seeing that Ao Wu knew what he was thinking, the high priest stopped asking. He looked at Hang Shiqi again and said with a pleasant expression: "This kid has a good talent, but it's a pity to be in the security team.
, if you like, you can come to the priest's court. I have nothing else to do recently, so I can teach him how to meditate and enhance his inspiration."
"No, no, no, no." Hang Shiqi refused without thinking. He was still meditating. It made him uncomfortable to sit there quietly for ten minutes: "I think the security team is fun, and I don't want to be a priest."
Ao Wu: "Since Shi Qi doesn't like it, I don't want to force him. I can only live up to the good intentions of the high priest."
"Let's go." Ao Wu took Hang Shiqi's hand naturally, as if he had done this thousands of times.
"Ah, oh." Hang Shiqi's slender fingers were wrapped in Ao Wu's palm, and he held him forcefully as he walked out the door, feeling inexplicably timid.
He pulled it out uncomfortably, but Ao Wu's palm was broad and strong, so he didn't take it out. Hang Shiqi dug his nails into Ao Wu's palm to express his protest.
"Don't make trouble." Ao Wu passed his fingers through the gaps between Hang Shiqi's fingers, changing from grasping to interlocking his fingers.
Hang Shiqi couldn't move, so he had to let Ao Wu lead him back. The setting sun shone on the side of his face, and his cheeks burned red.
There was a special path from the palace to the priest's court. There was no one else around at this time, so Ao Wu led Hang Shiqi and stepped on the stone slabs of the path.
Hang Shiqi's image is a bit embarrassing. His uniform of the security team was stained with a lot of dust and blood during the fight, and his long silver hair looked a bit messy when tied up.
Ao Wu was dressed neatly, with no wrinkles in his black uniform, as if he had just escaped from a meeting. He held Hang Shiqi's hand and did not let go after leaving the priest's court, striding towards the palace.
Hang Shiqi couldn't walk as fast as him, half a body behind, lazily letting him drag him forward.
"Slow down, slow down, I'm exhausted." Hang Shiqi put half of his weight on Ao Wu, and he thought he was walking too fast.
Ao Wu looked back at him, but this time he let go of his hand and slowed down his pace a lot.
Hang Shiqi withdrew his hand that had been held for a long time, rubbed it and sweated, tilted his head and asked: "Ao Wu, why did you come here by such a coincidence? Are you really here to pick me up?"
Ao Wu: "Ao Tong sent a messenger saying that you were taken away by the priests. I'm not worried, so I went to have a look."
Seeing that he was far away from the white tower of the priest's court, Hang Shiqi raised his tail again: "Why don't you worry? Anyway, I can't really be a killer. The high priest will just chat with me casually and won't really do anything to me.
"
Ao Wu turned around and looked Hang Shiqi up and down, and a chuckle escaped from his throat: "That's right."
The laughter made Hang Shiqi's tail turn into a feather duster. For a moment, Hang Shiqi felt that he had been seen through by Ao Wu. But he quickly succeeded in comforting himself. It was absolutely impossible for Ao Wu to know that he was a killer, otherwise
He would not go to the priesthood to defend himself categorically.
Speaking of which, it felt really good to have someone's trust maintained. Thinking that he was actually a killer and had deceived Ao Wu, Hang Shiqi's conscience ached a little.
However, he soon succeeded in comforting himself. Although he was a killer, he did not kill Ao Wu! Thinking about it this way, the guilt in Hang Shiqi's heart successfully disappeared. But at the same time, another kind of hope arose in him.
.
Hang Shiqi tugged at the corner of Ao Wu's clothes: "Ao Wu, I have a question for you."
"Say." Ao Wu slowed down and looked at Hang Shiqi with lowered eyes.
The warm orange light of the setting sun neutralized the coldness of Ao Wu's eyes, and it was as if a layer of smoky gray mist had condensed in his deep eyes, covering the thick emotions boiling inside.
Hang Shiqi was not nervous at first, but when he saw him like this, he suddenly became a little nervous. He raised his eyes and looked around at his fingers and asked: "What, if... I mean, if I have a friend, he is out of some way."
The involuntary reason became the killer in the organization you mentioned. He was ordered to sneak into your place, but then he voluntarily gave up the mission before killing people. Are you willing to give such a person another chance and continue to let him stay?
?”
"That depends on why he gave up the mission on his own initiative." Ao Wu stopped and leaned closer to Hang Shiqi. He was much taller than Hang Shiqi. Pressing him like this made him look intimidating.
Hang Shiqi shrank back, looking even smaller: "Just, maybe he didn't want to kill anyone, or he thought the target of his mission was a good person and treated him well. He liked it here and wanted to stay.
, I decided to give up the mission.”
"Hang Qi." Ao Wu suddenly called his name.
Hang Shiqi was so frightened that he trembled all over: "What are you doing?"
Ao Wu curled his lips: "If you want to stay, you can stay. This is your home and no one can drive you away."
The faint fragrance of epiphyllum wafted out from Ao Wu's body, as cold as the moonlight but with a hint of lingering lingering.
Hang Shiqi's lips trembled, and his eyes were full of waves. It was like a dog that had been wandering for a long time and finally met a kind rescuer. He was eager but couldn't believe it.
Ao Wu remembered that when he said he would take him home just now, the other party had a similar look.
It makes people feel sad for nothing.
Ao Wu stretched out his hand, trying to push the person into his arms, but in the end it only landed on the other person's head, pinching the person's pointed ears.
After his ears were pinched, Hang Shiqi finally jumped up as if waking up from a dream, shook his head and shouted: "Why are you talking about me? Of course I want to stay, so I stayed. You gave me all the wolf teeth,
From now on, I will just eat and drink in the north, and of course I won’t leave. Weren’t you just talking about my friends? No, they’re not my friends either. It’s just a hypothesis and doesn’t exist. Yes, it doesn’t exist.”
Seeing that Hang Shiqi didn't want to admit it, Ao Wu didn't force him. It was still too early and the other party was keeping a close eye on Hang Shiqi. If he talked to Hang Shiqi, the other party might also notice something. How about that?
Just pretend to be stupid.
Ao Wu took Hang Shiqi back to the palace. A bunch of people were waiting in the meeting hall.
Only then did Hang Shiqi realize that Ao Wuzhen ran out of the meeting in the middle of the meeting. Not only Ao Jing, Ao Tong and several senior hunting team leaders were here, but also several elders and ministers responsible for participating in government affairs, chamber of commerce stewards and auxiliary priests, as well as Yun Wuzhen
They were present while they discussed the business of what happened at the market today.
The five stone wolves now turned back to their human appearance, with their hands and feet tied tightly, looking haggard and miserable.
"You go back and rest first. Dinner may be a little late today. If I can't wait for you, I'll eat first." Ao Wu said to Hang Shiqi.
"I'm actually not that tired. Can I listen too?" Hang Shiqi asked proactively. He could ignore other things, but this time, Hang Shiqi felt that it might have something to do with him and that organization.
.Otherwise, why would someone inexplicably use a blade to attack him in the end?
There are many strange poisons and methods in that organization to control others. These stone wolves may have been controlled, and they want to control themselves again!
Although Ao Wu was a little surprised, he didn't refuse: "It's okay to listen, but don't make trouble."
Hang Shiqi wagged his tail: "Yeah! I'm so good."
It's impossible to be good, but you can barely run around if you eat. Ao Wu knows Hang Shiqi's virtues best. He specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a plate of snacks and fruits for Hang Shiqi and put it in front of him.
Hang Shiqi held a plate of snacks and ate them like a hamster. He listened to the discussions of others with his ears raised.
Others were extremely curious about Hang Shiqi, the legendary "quasi-queen", but whoever looked twice would immediately receive a low-pressure death stare from the Wolf King, so everyone "naturally" ignored her
The Hangzhou Seventeen exists.
"Boss, I just interrogated the five of them separately, and the confessions match up. They shouldn't be lies." Ao Jing and Hang Shiqi are the most familiar, but they are not affected at the moment. They report the results of the interrogation as usual:
"The five of them are brothers, tall and strong, and they often do manual labor here and there. The caravans have been coming these past few days, and they have been helping the caravans carry things at the dock. They went to the market today because someone sent them to the market.
Send something."
Ao Wu: "Have their employers been found? What are they sending? Why are they so crazy?"
Ao Jing: "The boxes I delivered were full of stones. Maybe they went crazy because they were poisoned. Today on their way to the market, they met a beautiful woman who gave them each a glass of fruit wine. She said it was a specialty of her hometown and she planned to take it to the market.
It is sold in the market, let them help you taste it and see how it tastes. It is said that after drinking the fruit wine, they completely lost consciousness before walking far. When they regained consciousness, it was already after we brought them back here.
"
Ao Jing said here, a priest in charge of refining medicine stood up: "I also have a little experience in making poisons. I just checked them and there are indeed signs of poisoning. In addition, there are remains of mosers eggs in their vomit, and the mossers themselves are also
It has a refreshing and calming effect, but its fish eggs are completely opposite, which can make people lose their temper and release strong aggression."
Ao Jing: "It's a pity that both their employer and the girl who delivered the wine disappeared without a trace afterwards. They probably used some disguise method."
Ao Wu nodded and asked again: "I heard that a young man from the Yaotu tribe failed to attack Hang Shiqi, and then committed suicide by swallowing medicine?"
"Kacha kacha." Hang Shiqi held a piece of crispy sweet melon and gnawed: "Yes, brother Ao Jing, where did that medicine rabbit come from? Why did you scratch me with a razor blade when you have no grudge against me?"
"Xiao Qi, that's not a Medicine Rabbit." Yun Wuzhen shook his hand: "Although he disguises himself very much and there is no difference in appearance, he probably doesn't know that the Medicine Rabbit clan has a secret. Their blood
It contains medicinal properties, so he is naturally immune to some poisons. Unfortunately, the one he took today is on the list of immune poisons, so he is not a drug rabbit."
"Medicine rabbits are immune to poison, how come I don't know? There is no record in the book? Are you sure, young prince?" Ao Jing looked at Yun Wuzhen in surprise.
Yun Wuzhen threw away a paper fan and shook it in front of his chest: "I dare to say it, and of course I am sure. It is said to be the secret of the Yao Rabbit Clan. Of course they will not let outsiders know. The Yao Rabbit Clan originally
The population is not prosperous. If it is known that blood can be used as medicine and detoxify, it may be put in a sack and sold as medicine."
Ao Jing was skeptical: "Since it is so secretive, how did the young prince know about it?"
Yun Wuzhen: "Unfortunately, I had a romantic relationship with the youngest daughter of the patriarch of the Yaotu clan the year before last. If there is a Yaotu who loves you so much that he can't wait to dedicate himself to you, you will naturally know it.
Already."
"..." Ao Jing thought, it was the first time I saw someone say something so righteously about someone else's scumbag: "Then according to the young prince's opinion, this assassination of Hang Shiqi is not a medicine rabbit, so what is it?"
"It's just a guy who looks exactly like a medicine rabbit." Yun Wuzhen said irresponsibly.
Ao Jing: "You mean, hybrid orc?"
Yun Wuzhen put away his fan and knocked on the edge of the table: "It's not mixed blood. They have another name. What's it called...oh, by the way, cocoon orcs."
"Crack." Hang Shiqi almost bit his hand while biting his teeth.:,,,
