Chapter 54 Planning before the banquet

Time: the eve of the birthday banquet

Location: Sunset Garden

The night fell slightly, but Xi Xinmiao's boudoir was empty, but in Xi Xinmiao's practice room, it was much more active than usual...

"I have explored the terrain of the palace, and the antidote is placed on the top floor of the Xixin Tower." Xi Xinmiao pointed to a place in the map and explained to the people around him, "This tower has seven floors, which is taken from the meaning of 'seven-level pagoda'. The tower is dedicated to the spiritual position of the emperors of the State of Qi, which is the royal forbidden place of the State of Qi over the years. There are heavy soldiers outside the tower, and we change soldiers every other cup of tea, so we have to reach the top floor to take out the antidote and get out of the tower in time. The most important thing is: don't disturb anyone!"

"Miss, the Xixin Tower is not far from the imperial garden at the location of this birthday banquet, and the movement at the top of the tower can be seen from the imperial garden. If we fight at the top of the tower, it will definitely alarm the Royal Forest Army and Emperor Qi at the bottom of the tower."

Looking at the orientation on the picture, Ying Ningmei analyzed.

"You're right, so Han," Xi Xinmiao turned her head and said to Shui Yihan, who had not spoken from the beginning, "I'm sorry to bother you this time." With a trace of caution and a trace of imperceptible begging.

She knew that it was so powerful that he didn't like the court, but she wanted him to appear at the birthday banquet of Emperor Qi, called Emperor Qi's birthday, which actually diverted everyone's attention and won an opportunity for her absence. This time, she really used him completely!

For the slightly apologetic black eyes of Shang Xi's heart, the constant tolerance and tenderness in the lake blue water eyes seemed to melt her, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, sincere and spoiled, "Heart, those two words have never existed between you and me."

The slender and clean palms softly covered Xi Xinmiao's face, brushed her scattered hair behind her ears, leaned close to the woman's ear, and said with only the voice that the two of them could hear: "Xin'er, you always known what I was thinking, didn't you? I just hope that every time you encounter difficulties, you can think of me first, and I will do my best to achieve your wishes. As long as you want, I will always give it to you."

He didn't avoid his touch. On his cheeks was the silky heat from the man's palm. His hands were a little cold and had always been like that, but now, she really felt the hot heat.

The man's wet hot air permeated his ear, and his cool lips rubbed his auricle from time to time, which was a little itchy, but she did not move at that time. He was close to low or even humblely begging that she could not bear to avoid it. He is so cold!

In the end, she owes him, and she is doomed to lose him...

"Han, thank you." All she can give him is a "thank you".

Shaking his head slightly, the curvature of the corners of his mouth does not decrease, but a little astringent, but the eyes are a little obscure, just...

"Miss, you mean let Mr. Shui..." Ying looked at his master in disbelief. After getting the affirmation of the master's eyes, he could not hide the shock in his eyes for a long time. Even the faint eyes that had been cooled for many years were also a huge storm when he heard the conversation between the young lady and him.

On that day, I learned from the young lady that he was the owner of the Blood Valley. I didn't know how surprised and unbelievable I was at that time. From the first sight of him, the shadow knew that he was unusual: his whereabouts were erratic, hidden, magnificent, noble, and difficult to figure out. He was a very wise man.

He should have been such a proud person, but he did something for the young lady. How could he not be admired?

"Heart, this time is unusual. You can defend against the heavy soldiers outside the tower. Do you know that the inside of the tower is dangerous?" Just now, he had been listening to her talk about the situation outside the tower, but he didn't notice whether there was any other mystery in the tower. She could not have an accident in this operation.

One sentence attracted everyone to look at Xi Xinmiao. Yes, this is the top priority.

"I really don't know everything about the tower." So you can't hide anything from him! He thought for himself where the danger was and where it was not enough.

"So that's why I decided to do it myself." Resolute and irrefutable.

"Miss!" Bing Ning exclaimed, how can such a dangerous and unknown situation be risked alone!

"I would like to enter the tower for you. Please allow me." He knelt down with a sword on one knee, and the shadow also looked resolute.

"I've made up my mind. There's no need to say more." He interrupted Bing Ning's dissuasion, and then said, "Shadow, remember, you are only allowed to stay outside the tower. The wind and grass outside are the key to whether I can get the antidote. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" She is the master and he is a subordinate, so he will never disobey her.

"Miss went to take risks. Is there anything that can help Miss Bingning?" Bing Ning said urgently. She didn't want to be left alone. She really wanted to help the young lady do her part, even if it was insignificant.

Looking back at Bing Ning with an anxious face, her eyes were soft, "Of course, Bing Ning, you have to help me block those who ask me or look for me after I leave to avoid them being suspicious."

"Remember, this plan is only a success and not a failure!"

"Yes!"

............

After Ying and Bing Ning withdrew, there were only two people left in the room, Shui Yi Han and Xi Xin, as if the air suddenly became quiet.

Xi Xinmiao looked at the man standing with his back to himself in front of the window. He never said anything after hearing his decision just now. He did not say anything against himself, but Xi Xinmiao knew that he was unhappy because of her.

......

"You're angry." The tone is still weak. In Xi Xinmiao's opinion, she is stating the facts.

......

He didn't turn around and didn't even move.

Xi Xinmiao sighed secretly that she just wanted to give up and continue talking.

"No."

Just when Xi Xinmiao thought he would not answer himself, Shui Yihan suddenly burst out these two words. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked pale.

"?"

"I'm not angry." I was afraid that Xi Xinmiao didn't understand it and reiterated it again, but the tone had become a little awkward. Maybe he also noticed it himself. He coughed gently, as if he was covering up something.

......

Looking at the man who is kind and funny and still refuses to look at himself. When have you seen such a childish side as the Blood Valley Lord? Even Xi Xinmiao was a little surprised that this anecdote for the first time was actually bumped into by her!

Obviously, he is angry and pretends to be hard-mouthed! That tone, that expression... Isn't it showing the owner's anger at this moment? In this scene, Xi Xinmiao suddenly remembered some awkward children in the past. They obviously wanted to eat candy, but they insisted that they didn't want to eat, but their eyes had already betrayed them.

A guy with a mouth!

......

"Why do you have to go by yourself?" Probably unable to stand Xi Xinmiao's spotlight-like visit, Shui Yihan finally turned around and looked at Xi Xinmiao's joking eyes, which was a little unnatural and changed the topic.

"It's convenient for me to go." The attitude of restraining jokes changed to a trace of solemnity.

"Don't you know that there are many crises on this trip?"

"I know, but I don't want to give up."

"No one knows what's in it, you..."

"I'll be careful."

"Actually, if I go---"

"No, I'll just go," quickly interrupted what he was about to say. "I don't want to owe you anything anymore."

I already owe you a lot. She said to herself in her heart.

The jade-like eyes were dark, as if there was a wry smile.

"You owe? Have you always thought so?

I couldn't bear to look into his eyes and turned my face aside, "This favor, I owe you more, and I will pay you back in the future."

What should he look like now? Disappointed, lost or helpless?

It turns out that she has always been worried about it? Does she know how much he wants her to accept his help willingly? Unconditional and proper acceptance?

Unfortunate, she won't! Her line is so clear. When he helps her, she thinks she owes him. Does she know that the best way to "repawn" him is to take these aids for granted?

Thinking of her vague resistance and rejection of herself these days, she squeezed her thin lips coldly. It seemed that she still didn't pay attention to her words.

"What are you doing?" Looking at the cold water that suddenly flashed in front of him and grabbed his wrist, Xi Xinyao frowned.

His eyes seemed to be shining with a strange spark, with his elegant and cold face. At that moment, she felt a little charming and seductive? Unexpectedly, it was abrupt at all! But his intuition told Xi Xinmiao that he was very dangerous at this moment.

"Heart, have you forgotten what I said when I left that day?" His tone was a little unclear, but Xi Xinmiao heard his displeasure from it.

"Time and freedom, you promised." Xi Xinmiao frowned. What did he mean?

"Do you only remember the previous sentence?" He gently reminded and instructed step by step.

He was slightly distracted, and when he came to his senses, he was already indifferent. "Han, why are you still so persistent?" Instead, I'm not in a hurry to break free.

"Do you think I haven't tried it?" The cold eyes of the water have returned to the usual clarity, as clear and deep as the lake. "Heart, I promise your time and freedom. I don't believe you won't know that it's just limited to my sight.

I admit that I am selfish. I just want to selfishly guard you in my visible sight. Within that range, I promise you time and freedom. Because I know that's what you yearn for. You have a pair of wings that belong to you. If you don't pay attention, you will spread your wings and fly high without any stay, no matter how the people on the ground call. Do you know? In fact, I'm afraid that you will leave, and I'm even more afraid that you will not respond.

It's not that she doesn't know his persistence, or that she doesn't know his efforts. Her heart is slightly dark. In fact, she has long known that the so-called freedom is just freedom within his control. Once he deviates, he will not hesitate to break his wings, and he can do it in such a way that they hurt each other.

In his opinion, the clear pain is much better than the distant and hazy thought.

......

When she met his domineering oath on the eve of the plan, how did she choose?
