The sun was setting in the west, and the stars in the night sky seemed infinitely lonely.
Leng Ruyan looked at the stars, and tears fell unconsciously from her eyes.
Although she had only met Shui Heng a few times, Shui Heng was really a good person, but Thinking about Leng Haowen's determination, Leng Ling's opposition, and the dark night, she felt particularly lonely.
"Do you regret it?"
A masked girl came out of the darkness, looked at the tears on Leng Ruyan's face, and asked.
"Regret, can I regret it?
Do I still have a chance to regret it?"
Leng Ruyan said with a bitter smile, but deep in her eyes, there was a trace of hatred.
She was a person who could drink, but that day Shui Heng took the wind for her father. , she fell into a drowsy state after only two drinks.
When she woke up the next day, everything had settled, and it was impossible for her to regret it.
In the past, even if she couldn't marry the person she loved, she could at least watch silently.
Now, even such an opportunity has been lost.
"You really have no chance to regret.
Otherwise, the entire Leng family will be talked about by the world because of you, so you have to marry.
However, you saved me and gave me a place to hide.
I will tell you a piece of news.
You Being drunk is not an accident."
The masked woman looked at Leng Ruyan and said, her eyes full of calculations.
"What did you say?"
Leng Ruyan said in surprise.
Although she suspected that someone had drugged her, she had no evidence at all.
She rejected Xiao Qing's marriage.
From the perspective of the marriage, it could not be Shui Heng's fault.
She had never been there.
In the North, she could never figure out who was plotting against her.
"It seems that you really don't have any doubts.
Think about it, who wants you to leave Yucheng the most, and who sent your father to the north.
According to the current situation, Beiming is eyeing the border city.
Is it possible that Ri Yao is your father against Border City?
Your familiarity with Ri Yao is far greater than that of the Northern Territory, so you should be more sober."
The masked woman looked at Leng Ruyan with her eyes full of pity.
"No, it's impossible."
Leng Ruyan thought carefully and took two steps back, his eyes full of surprise.
"Looking at the world, how many people can do it without anyone noticing, and who has the power to transfer your father to the north.
I'm just analyzing it for you.
As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."
"Xiao Pingting, don't talk nonsense.
She is not impossible.
You are talking nonsense.
You can never use my hand to avenge yourself."
Leng Ruyan looked at Xiao Pingting with anger and said, on the way to the north, she met Leng Ruyan.
After Ling broke up, she rescued Xiao Pingting.
Perhaps she had some resonance with Xiao Pingting, so she gave Xiao Pingting a hiding place.
"Is it impossible?
Do you really think it is impossible?

I have learned her methods.
If it weren't for her, how could I have fallen into the position of being despised by everyone?
I want revenge, but I don't need to rely on your hands.
As for you Believe it or not, it's up to you, and don't call me Xiao Pingting, Xiao Pingting is dead, and now I am Zhou Yinyin."
There was a hint of warning in Xiao Pingting's words, and a touch of arrogance.
In the past, she had completely ignored Leng Ruyan, the daughter of a second-grade general, but now she had to rely on her to survive, but this would not be her permanent way of survival.
Now Leng Ruyan was still a useful chess piece.
In the Yuelai Inn, Leng Haowen and Leng Ling were drinking in the backyard.
Mu Qianhua looked at Leng Haowen and Leng Ling through the window with very complicated emotions.
"Young master, I just arrived at the waiter's hall.
Leng Haowen lives downstairs.
If I had known, I would have booked the entire inn."
Chu Qing walked to Mu Qianhua and said.
"It's too eye-catching to book the entire inn.
Send someone to monitor Leng Ruyan.
Don't alert the enemy."
Mu Qianhua wanted to see what the man behind the scenes wanted to do, and also wanted to see how Xu Lin planned to deal with it.
"Master, why don't you just get rid of the person behind the scenes?
The situation in the North is complicated.
If this person disrupts the situation, it will only make things more complicated."
Chu Qing also has several candidates for the person behind the scenes.
This matter seems to be It is designed to be Leng Ruyan, but Leng Ruyan is just an insignificant chess piece in the corner of a chess game.
"It's good to be complicated, but I'm afraid it won't be complicated."
Mu Qianhua said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"What do you mean, Young Master?"
Chu Qing asked confusedly.
The more complicated the Northern Territory is, the more unstable it will be.
The war with Beiming is about to begin.
If the Northern Territory is still unstable, there will definitely be internal and external troubles by then.
"Isn't it boring to be idle all the time?
Go and get me a glass of water."
Mu Qianhua picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth, and frowned slightly.
"Sir, is there something wrong with the tea?"
Chu Qing asked slightly worriedly.
The tea Mu Qianhua drank was always Snow Mountain Silver Needle, and it was all taken care of by her.
In recent days, Mu Qianhua had been very disgusted with it. tea.
"No, maybe I've been drinking for a long time and want to change the taste."
Mu Qianhua shook his head slightly.
"Sir, I just bought some snacks at the night market.
Would you like to try them, sir?"
Lu Rui walked in with large and small bags and put them on the table.
Yuelai Inn is located on the main street.
There are many people coming and going, and it is very convenient to inquire about news.
The only disadvantage is that it does not have a separate courtyard and is not quiet enough.
"No, you can eat it yourself."

Mu Qianhua glanced at it, then picked up a book and started reading slowly.
The next morning, after Leng Haowen woke up, he rubbed his temples.
He hadn't drank so much wine for a long time.
Firstly, he felt depressed last night.
Secondly, he hadn't seen Leng Ling for a long time, so he drank a few more drinks.
Unexpectedly, It felt so uncomfortable when I got up.
"Sir, you've woken up.
Let's have a cup of sobering tea."
A boy immediately handed him a cup of sobering tea.
"Have you found out who lives upstairs?"
Yuelai Inn is the best inn in Yongcheng.
Each upper room on the third floor costs forty taels per day, but the person who came earlier than him booked the entire floor. , while drinking in the courtyard yesterday, he vaguely saw the figure in the room on the third floor facing the window.
He stood for a long time and couldn't help but become curious.
"I heard from the shopkeeper that there is a young master named Huang, and there are three masters and servants.
Mr.
Huang is wearing a silver mask, and the two book boys are very handsome.
Compared with other young masters, they don't give in."
The boy immediately replied .
"Master Huang" Leng Haowen was silent for a moment.
After washing, he took out a note , after washing, he took out a post, wrote it, handed it to the boy and said, "Send this post to Mr.
Huang upstairs."
"Yes."
The boy took the post, immediately left the room and walked upstairs.
Mu Qianhua looked at the post in her hand with a faint smile on her face.
Yesterday, she did not put out the candlelight.
She only stood by the window for a quarter of an hour and attracted the attention of the second young master of the Leng family.
As expected, she was not famous. vanity.
"Master, see you or not."
Chu Qing asked while choosing clothes for Mu Qianhua.
No matter how she looked at it, she thought women's clothes were better.
Although these men's clothes were made by He Lianshang himself, they were all made of the best fabrics. , but not as beautiful as women’s clothing.
"Wouldn't it be more suspicious if I don't see him?
He invited me politely, so why should I refuse?
Just the white one."
Seeing that Chu Qing had been choosing for a long time, Mu Qianhua directly specified that when it comes to women's clothing, Chu Qing They always match well and wear different colors every day.
Men's clothing is just black and white, so there is nothing to hesitate about.
"Sir, the weather in the north is a little colder.
Isn't it too thin?"
Chu Qing asked hesitantly when he saw that the sun had not come out.
"Then let's take the black one you have on hand."
Mu Qianhua shook his head slightly and said.
He was really afraid that if he thought about it again, Chu Qing would suffer from choice phobia.
After two-quarters of an hour, Chu Qing finally dressed Mu Qianhua and helped Lu Rui put on her Adam's apple.
The three of them left and went to Leng Haowen's promised place, Fengyu Tower.
Fengyu Tower is the largest in Yongcheng.

Teahouses were also gathering places for arty literati and dignitaries.
"Master Huang, please" Mu Qianhua and the others had just arrived at the door of Fengyu Tower.
A man who looked like a boy had been waiting at the door.
When he saw the three people arriving, he immediately stepped forward and said.
"Where is your young master?"
"Young Master is waiting for Young Master Huang in the private room upstairs.
Please come with me, Young Master Huang."
Mu Qianhua came to see Leng Haowen not only because he was a member of the Leng family, but also because he was one of Mu Changfeng's few confidants.
At the same time, she also admired Leng Haowen's character.
She was secretly observing what happened in Yongcheng.
However, since it was left to Xu Lin, she couldn't interfere too much, so as not to make Xu Lin feel resentful.
"Master Huang, please sit down."
As soon as Mu Qianhua walked into the private room, Leng Haowen immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Mr.
Leng."
Mu Qianhua greeted with cupped hands.
"You go down first."
Leng Haowen ordered the boy beside him, and Mu Qianhua immediately signaled Chu Qing and Lu Rui to leave.
Although they hesitated, they nodded and reluctantly left the room. .
"Leng Haowen has met the Crown Princess."
After everyone left, Leng Haowen immediately saluted.
"The second young master of the Leng family is indeed well-deserved.
Why must it be me."
Mu Qianhua took off his mask, and a stunning face appeared in front of Leng Haowen.
Although Leng Haowen had heard about Mu Qian's paintings of heavenly fragrance and national beauty for a long time, when he saw it today, he felt like a man in a lifetime. , charming with a hint of domineering, beautiful with a hint of desertedness, just like a celestial being.
"I learned that the Crown Princess was praying for the country.
Although I have never met the Crown Princess, according to Brother Mu, the Crown Princess is by no means a superstitious person.
The only possibility is to find an excuse to leave Yucheng.
Secondly, we can invite Xu Lin to come out.
There are probably not many people in the world.
It has been exactly eight days since the Crown Princess left Yucheng.
Calculating the time, it is most likely that the Crown Princess has come to the north," Leng Haowen said without any secret.
"It seems that you have also been to Cuizhuju."
Mu Qianhua motioned Leng Haowen to sit down, and then asked.
"I have indeed been to Cuizhu Residence several times, but I haven't even met him in person.
We didn't have a chance to meet him in the past.
Now Xu Lin is a bit weird, and he doesn't dare to break into Cuizhu Residence easily.
We have never had a chance to meet him."
Leng Haowen sat down.
Said later.
"Why did you invite me to meet today?"
Mu Qianhua looked at Leng Haowen and asked.
In terms of eyesight, Leng Haowen is second to none.
In terms of courage, although Leng Haowen has not fought on the battlefield, he is better than the rest of the Leng family.
Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Huang and Mr.
Xu Lin can guess her and dare to take a look at her.
I don't know whether to say that Leng Haowen is naturally smart or that he is a gambler who is both smart and courageous.
"The Leng family still owes the Crown Princess an apology for what happened to Ruyan."
Leng Haowen said slightly apologetically.
He originally wanted to stop Leng Ruyan's marriage, but now it seems that he is powerless.
As an elder brother, he can only If it can be accomplished, there is no other choice.
"Mr.
Leng, please call me Mr.
Huang.
As for Ruyan, Mr.
Leng already knows it very well and there is no need for me to say anything."
Mu Qianhua picked up the mask and put it on her face.
She did not change her appearance today.
Leng Haowen was able to guess her identity because he knew something about her from Mu Changfeng, but looking at the northern border, there were many smart people, so it was better to be cautious.
"There are a lot of Mr.
Huang, so I feel relieved.
It's just that there are many people in Yongcheng these days.
I have a village outside the city.
Can I ask Mr.
Huang to move over?"
Leng Haowen has been in the north for many years, although he has never cultivated Jianghu forces. , but he never lacked channels to inquire about information.
He was very concerned about Xiao Pingting's escape from marriage, and Yongcheng was not far from the Medical Valley.
Now that he knew Mu Qianhua's identity, Mu Qianhua was not only the crown prince, but also him The sister who is the only confidant is naturally more caring.
"The inn is very good.
After all, not everyone is as keen and willing to gamble as Mr.
Leng.
I have something to remind Mr.
Leng.
I wonder if Mr.
Leng is willing to hear it."
Leng Haowen chose to meet her at Fengyu Tower. , in order to deceive others, Leng Haowen's mind is indeed much more complicated and cautious than other people in the Leng family.
"Master Huang, please speak frankly."
Although he is well-informed, he is not perfect.
"Pay attention to the people around you.
Ruyan has settled down after marrying into the Beijing Palace.
Someone from the Beiding Palace will definitely come to watch the ceremony.
I have sent someone to Xiao Jing's side to provide some comfort, but what do the other Xiao family members want to do?
I’m sure Xiao Jing won’t stop it.”
The incident between Leng Ruyan and Shui Heng reminded her of the wine that Xiao Pingting wanted to use against her in the past.
"Thank you for reminding me, I will stay at Leng's house tonight, but Mr.
Huang doesn't intend to interfere in Yongcheng's affairs?"
Leng Haowen nodded and said, Mu Qianhua's words have already revealed two pieces of news, and comfort Mu Qianhua Regarding Xiao Jing's matter, Leng Haowen was grateful, because now he could appease Xiao Jingzhi The person who comforted Xiao Jing was probably the one in front of him who was kind to the Beiding Palace.
As for the people around him that Mu Qianhua said, he was even more concerned about it, and at the same time he had doubts about Mu Qianhua's decision.
Leng Haowen only thought that he had met many people, but he could not see through the thoughts of the person in front of him.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It seemed that all her decisions were made randomly.
He could not see through her purpose or the extent to which she wanted to go.
"Second Young Master of the Leng Family, don't you think I've interfered enough?"
Mu Qianhua tapped her fingers on the table slightly.
She had never had the idea of interfering in government affairs.
She would not get involved in trouble unless she had to.
Now that she is involved, in the end, Well, don't force her to make a decision that no one wants to see.
"It's enough."
Mu Qianhua said, Leng Haowen didn't know why he had a bad premonition, hope or destruction, he couldn't explain, but what he saw seemed to be neither black nor white.
"I've heard that the young masters of the Leng family love the only young lady of the Leng family, so please ask Young Master Leng to stay awake until then."
Mu Qianhua looked at Leng Haowen and said, Leng Haowen's words just now were actually testing her plans.
Her purpose in coming to the north was not to be with Bei Jinghou and Leng Ruyan, but because she didn't want to waste time.
"Thank you, Mr.
Huang, for reminding me."
Leng Haowen said with his hands raised, but he felt extremely weird in his heart, but he couldn't tell where this weirdness lay.
"With that, I'll take my leave."
Mu Qianhua stood up immediately and said.
"Farewell Mr.
Huang."
Leng Haowen immediately bowed his hands and saluted.
Chu Qing and Lu Rui breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mu Qian's drawing.
They had also heard of the second young master of the Leng family, but now it seemed that the second young master of the Leng family was more perceptive than the evidence showed.
Although "Master" Chu Qing was not sure whether Leng Haowen had seen through Mu Qianhua's identity, what happened in the house was anything but ordinary, so she couldn't help but ask with some worry.
"Nothing, go back to the inn."
Mu Qianhua stopped, but did not look back at the room behind her.
She felt a little more interested in Leng Haowen and couldn't help but think of what Mu Changfeng told her when she left: "Even if the northern border There is no one but one smart person that I know of," Mu Qianhua whispered to himself.
"Sir, what did you say?"
Lu Rui didn't hear clearly and asked immediately.
"Nothing, let's go."
Mu Qianhua shook his head and strode away.
Through the window, Leng Haowen looked at Mu Qianhua leaving Fengyu Tower, a look of contemplation flashed across his face.
It seems that he has been in the north for many years and is not as well-informed as Mu Qianhua.
The Leng family is now in a complicated situation.
They are probably just a pawn on a chessboard for countless people.
It seems that he needs to get the Leng family out of this situation as soon as possible.
OK.
"Sir, the young lady sent someone to deliver a letter to you."
The boy walked into the private room with a letter and handed it to Leng Haowen.
"Has the messenger left?"
Leng Haowen took the letter and asked.
"Not yet, sir, do you have any orders?"
"Tell him to tell Ruyan that I will go back to live today."
Leng Haowen adjusted his breathing and said, he must find out who is the mastermind behind the Leng family's game of chess as soon as possible
