Chapter 212 Murderous Intent Surges
Chapter 212 Murderous Intent Surges
Beisha City in November can almost be described as a world of ice and snow.
The cold wind cut across people's faces like a knife. Even though the stinging pain swept through everyone's body, it still couldn't stop them from following closely the black carriage that was slowly leaving the street.
The streets were crowded with people, all watching and following the carriage as it left.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at this popularity, top stars are just like this, right?"
Shu He sighed, lowered the car curtain, turned around and met someone's eyes as bright and clear as the moon.
A sly look flashed across her eyes, as if in retaliation for what he had said to her that morning, and she also asked, "Have you seen enough?"
He didn't care about it at all, but just locked his eyes with hers, with a bit of inquiry and confusion.
Even though Shu He thought she was thick-skinned enough, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and guilty when he kept staring at her so unscrupulously.
Good-looking men are too lethal! Good-looking men with soft eyes are even more lethal!
She couldn't stand it anymore, and a trace of unnaturalness appeared on her face. "If you look at me again, I'll charge you!"
TOLL?
Baili Moqing was stunned for a moment, then a hint of helplessness appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"By doing this, you've completely established a grudge with the Princess. Aren't you afraid?"
After all, she was the eldest princess, a member of the royal family. In this world, he had never seen a commoner dare to plot against the eldest princess like this!
After hearing this question, she laughed and said in a very natural tone, "With you here, what should I be afraid of?"
"Do you think I would turn against my own aunt for you?"
Baili Moqing chuckled, not knowing where her confidence came from.
Shu He quickly shook her head. She still had some self-awareness. "I've never thought of it that way!"
"So what do you mean?"
Shu He raised his eyebrows, with a hint of smartness in his brows.
"I said that not because you will protect me, but because I think that even if the princess wants to settle accounts, she won't hold it against me!"
It's not her fault? This is...
He seemed to understand something.
"You mean, this debt will be counted on me?"
Her expression paused, a little surprised, obviously not expecting him to react so quickly.
"This is inevitable, right?" She moved closer to him and asked quietly, "Who do you think is the biggest beneficiary of today's free clinic?"
Seeing that his eyes had revealed some understanding, she smiled and said, "Yes, it's you!"
"From today onwards, the fame of Dongli King Baili Moqing will reach unprecedented heights! In the hearts of the people of Beisha City, even the emperor cannot compare to your status in their hearts!"
"Therefore, the princess will definitely think you have some ulterior motive!"
"Besides, I'm just a humble doctor. How could I have the guts to plot against the princess without the prince's permission?"
"Taking all factors into consideration, the one who can lead today's events can only be you, Baili Moqing."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She was very confident in her guess and couldn't help showing a little pride on her face.
"So, you've included me in your plan?" He looked at her with a calm expression and spoke lightly.
At this moment, a cold wind came in from the window and hit Shu He's face, making her feel a chill on her back. Just like his seemingly calm eyes, which were actually full of danger.
Oh no, he's going to be angry, right?
"Hey, I'm just venting my anger for you, okay? I'm responsible for charging into battle, so shouldn't you be the commander of the combat forces?"
After hearing this, Baili Moqing had a strange emotion surging in his calm eyes.
Vent for him?
Was it for him that she was so ruthless as to humiliate the eldest princess?
"Why are you venting your anger for me?"
"Ah?" Shu He was stunned, and was caught off guard by a pair of clear eyes like rolling streams.
why?
She never thought about it and just did it naturally.
Perhaps he couldn't stand the eldest princess's domineering attitude towards him?
Perhaps, it was because in order to find her, he resolutely jumped into the bottomless underground crack and successfully brought her back from that otherworldly place?
Or maybe, it’s because he is Xiao Yier’s father, and she doesn’t allow others to treat him like this!
Seeing her distracted, he had a glimmer of hope in his eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you answer?"
Shu He came back to his senses, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and raised a not very natural smile on his face, "Because, we are friends!"
……
"friend?"
Is it that simple?
This answer made him feel disappointed.
Seeing that he didn't seem to give up, she felt a little guilty for some reason and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, have you made any progress on the thing I asked you to do?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her steadily. What was she nervous about?
Shu He felt a chill down his spine. Why was this man's gaze always so sharp? Like an advanced laser scanner, it seemed as if nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
"I'm asking you! If you keep looking, I'll really charge you!"
That's it!
He withdrew his gaze and stopped probing. He was afraid that if he asked too much, he would have no way out.
He hummed softly and picked up a cup of hot tea from the table. "Yang You was going to bury someone alive. Luckily, we got there in time."
"Buried alive? Is Daya okay?" Shu He straightened his back immediately after hearing this, his face showing worry and anger. "He dared to do such a heinous thing?"
He had just been beaten up, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself and even dared to bury someone alive! He didn't take Baili Moqing and her seriously at all!
Baili Moqing was not surprised. What would a person like him not do to protect himself?
"He sensed the crisis, so he started to deal with his own issues one after another."
Shu He frowned. Is this fat guy so slippery?
"You didn't let him succeed?"
Baili Moqing glanced at her and asked, "Are you doubting my ability?"
Sensing the danger in his eyes, she smiled and said, "How could that be the case? I'm just worried about him escaping this disaster."
"This damn fat guy has killed so many people. We can't let him off so easily!"
There are still many people waiting to take his life!
"You've made him lose everything, what else do you want?" He looked at her sideways.
Shu He frowned, somewhat displeased. "How can you say such a thing? All that money he plundered from the people! Since it was taken from the people, isn't it only natural that he should return it to them?"
"He has so many innocent lives on his hands! Of course, we have to settle this!"
At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said nothing more.
Shu He was puzzled. What did he mean? Why did he look so satisfied?
Could it be that he was testing her just now?
"Well, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you for?"
He turned his gaze away, and that slightly flattering face looked very hypocritical.
She would only try to please him like this when she needed his help!
"doing what?"
Shu He smiled and moved closer to him. "The three-day collapse of the people in the north of the city is very strange. Someone must be interfering..."
He stepped back and interrupted her, "Do you want to ask some people about the situation?"
Shu He was stunned for a moment. He guessed it before she even finished speaking?
Is this man really that smart?
"The person has been taken to Biluoyuan."
Shu He: ...
Is he the worm in her stomach? How does he know everything?
At this moment, a strange strong wind suddenly blew in the northern suburbs woods where the carriage was traveling, and murderous aura surged in the cold air.
It seemed that even the horse sensed the danger and stopped uncontrollably, neighing restlessly.
Beiji pulled the reins, his already ugly face looked even more like the black sky after a sudden rainstorm, filled with gloomy pressure.
