Chapter 22 Unpredictable People(1/2)
The moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk.
Ming Chongyan didn't feel any joy in meeting the beauty at this moment.
Following the previous smell, he walked through Lufang and finally found the source of the smell under the willow tree.
It was a red bird.
The moonlight was pale, and the red bird was curled up on a person's shoulder, like a ball of red hair.
The man turned his back to Ming Chongyan, and he couldn't see clearly for a while.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, but such silence made Ming Chongyan feel a sense of creepy.
He hasn't felt this way for many years.
The dull atmosphere was like a pair of invisible hands, choking his throat bit by bit.
Ming Chongyan finally asked, "Did you put the fire? What's your purpose?"
The man under the willow tree had a tall back. Hearing Ming Chongyan's words, he slowly turned around and at the same time he broke a willow branch.
It is winter, and the willow trees are already bare, with only simple willow branches hanging down.
The man broke down Liuzhi and said, "Why set fire? Don't you know why Mr. Ming?"
"It's you."
Although I had already guessed something in my heart, when I really saw the other party, Ming Chongyan was still shocked.
The person opposite was covered with a ghost mask like oil. In his hands, he had two fingers holding a dry willow branch and gently flicked his fingers.
A "swish" sound came from the air.
The willow branches were like arrows breaking through the air, shooting towards Ming Chongyan's face.
Ming Chongyan took his busy schedule and turned his head away.
The willow branches pass through the gaps and break a few long black hairs.
The bitter wind almost cut her cheeks.
Ming Chongyan walked with him, like a gust of white light, and instantly retreated several feet.
But when he looked up, the other party was in front of him.
They still maintained the same distance as before, as if the two of them had never moved.
Ming Chongyan's eyes flashed, and he slowly stood up and said in an extremely calm voice: "I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect that Su Langjun's strength would increase faster in the army."
Su Dawei smiled slightly, reached out and tilted the little red bird on his shoulder.
The colorful ghost face, like a mandrill, faded slowly, revealing its true appearance.
The ghost-faced jellyfish quietly swam back to his hands from his face.
"Mr. Su Langjun, what do you mean by attracting me?"
Although Ming Chongyan seemed relaxed, his vigilance in his eyes betrayed his heart.
"Does Su Langjun want to kill me?"
"I don't want to do it at the moment."
Su Dawei smiled and said, "I just have a few questions, I want to ask you."
I don't want to do it now, it's possible at any time in the future.
Ming Chongyan can still distinguish the taste of this.
Su Dawei set fire, leaving a smell to attract Ming Chongyan.
Everything he had revealed before revealed a signal that he was very strong.
He has the ability to crush everything.
At least in the current situation of the two, Su Dawei has the strength to kill Ming Chongyan.
What's more, Ming Chongyan couldn't see the bird on his shoulder.
But in my heart, I felt a terrible feeling of being targeted by natural enemies.
"What do you want to ask about Su Langjun?"
"Just talk about fire."
Su Dawei's eyes were bright and he looked directly at Ming Chongyan, who was implicitly alert: "Did Helan order people to release the fire in the dentist's shop?"
Ming Chongyan had a cold face and said nothing.
"I have caught the man, and after preliminary interrogation, he has been summoned."
"Since you already know, what are you asking me?"
Ming Chongyan's handsome and uncast cheeks, his masseurs jumped slightly, as if he felt a sense of humiliation.
It is a feeling that the enemy has everything in control, but he has to deliberately test and play with his prey.
And he Ming Chongyan was the rat that Su Dawei played with at this time.
"Although I know the result, I still want to know why Helan Minzhi did this? He is the nephew of the Martial Empress, and I am also regarded as a brother by the Martial Empress. Why do we all belong to the Martial Empress, treat me like this?"
Su Dawei slowly asked out the doubts in his heart.
This problem has actually troubled him for a long time.
But I haven't had a chance, and now I just want to propose it together.
Why is Helan Minzhi so hostile to him?
When he was a child, he received Su Dawei's help. How could a person repay his kindness with grudges?
"Su Langjun, you really don't know?"
A strange look suddenly appeared on Ming Chongyan's face.
It was a look of sarcasm and suspicion.
Su Dawei shook his head: "If I knew, I wouldn't ask."
"Minzhi told me that when he was young, he saw you visit the Yue Palace. At that time, his grandmother Wu Shun kindly wanted to sell some old furniture to you. But you actually started to attack Wu Shun and knocked her out. Later, she didn't know where she went, and it was not until a long time before she came back."
These words made Su Dawei a little confused for a moment.
After thinking about it carefully, I remember that in order to investigate the case, there was indeed one time when I pretended to contact Wu Shun for an old table.
As a result, Wu Shun led him into the Yue Palace and suddenly attacked in a remote courtyard.
Later, he took Wu Shun to Wang Jingzhi and realized that Wu Shun had been used by some kind of trick to confuse his heart.
I still remember that at that time, the person who opened the back door in the Yue Palace was the young Helan Minzhi.
Ming Chongyan looked at Su Dawei and continued, "Minzhi has always regarded this as a lifelong shame. He thinks you humiliated Wu Shun."
I'm not, I don't!
Su Dawei opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but at first glance, he saw Ming Chongyan's calm and confirmation expression, and he immediately understood that nothing he said was useless.
Some prejudices cannot be changed by just a few words.
This may have been a misunderstanding at first, a very boring and funny misunderstanding.
But this knot in his heart has been unable to be untied for so many years.
Any explanation is redundant.
People will always believe only what they are willing to believe.
"I can understand that Helan Minzhi wants to get rid of me, but why should he use such clumsy means? Do you underestimate me too much? Just a mere escapee wants to assassinate? Do you look down on me or look down on himself?"
"This matter..."
Ming Chongyan showed a hesitation look on his face: "Actually it was a misunderstanding. Minzhi really wanted to be unfavorable to you at first, but when I persuaded him, he gave up this idea, but he didn't expect that someone would do his own thing among the people he recruited."
"Are you just excusing him?"
"No, actually Minzhi also knows how powerful you are. He will not do anything without being sure of it. You can look down on us, but don't doubt our wisdom."
“That’s right.”
Su Dawei nodded: "You told me all this, aren't you afraid that I will report it to Your Majesty?"
"You won't."
Helan Minzhi's eyes flashed and he said confidently: "From my understanding of you, you seem easy-going on the outside, but you are extremely conceited in your heart and have your own opinions.
You won't say all this lightly because it won't do you."
"Why is it no good?"
Su Dawei smiled and said, "Your Majesty urges this case to be very urgent. I will report the results tomorrow."
"If this case is not successful, Your Majesty will only scold you at most, but if you tell Minzhi's story, he is the nephew of Empress Wu. Can Your Majesty really kill him?
What's more, this matter was originally the one below, who was bold and reckless, and did not have the consent of Minzhi and I, so I took action.
