We started walking up the mountain. Without the guidance of Huang Tianba, I was more tired than before. I was out of breath before I got halfway, and cold sweat dripped from my forehead one by one, getting wet.

The hair is stuck to the cheeks, making it a bit embarrassing.

Mu Hua gave me a cold look and said nothing, but his steps still slowed down unconsciously.

At this time, someone had already arrived above and passed the news down.

"They haven't arrived yet."

When Mu Hua heard this, he smiled at first, but immediately the expression on his face became serious.

Everyone knows that when it comes to a showdown, whoever comes first gets the upper hand. Only those who are a step ahead can stand in the most advantageous position, choose the most favorable terrain, and even arrange an ambush, so what Mu Hua brought today

There weren't many people because she had already arranged for people to go to Xishan.

But now, no one from the state capital has arrived.

This is really not the style of people in the government, let alone Pei Yuanhao's style.

I was listening on the sidelines, feeling a little confused. Mu Hua frowned at me, said nothing, and waved to the person behind him: "Let's go."

This time, they no longer had to worry about me, and everyone went up the mountain in one go.

When we walked to Hongye Temple, we were still surrounded by mist and mist, making everything look as if it were in a painting. The only thing moving in this painting was the Buddhist hall. Through the mist, we could see the flickering candlelight inside, and we could faintly see the still life.

There is a pilgrim worshiping Buddha, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds are heard, making this painting appear even more peaceful.

Mu Hua walked over, and a few more people ran up on the rugged mountain roads nearby. They all said something to her. With every word she said, the solemn look in Mu Hua's eyes became deeper. I was closest to her and could hear it.

The clearest——

There was no movement from people in the state capital.

Not only did they not reach Hongye Temple, there was no ambush from them even on the west mountain.

"What's going on?" Mu Hua murmured, with a trace of doubt and uneasiness on his face, and looked at Wei Zhengbang: "Do they have any other conspiracy?"

"It's hard to say, people in the government have always been cunning."

"Let everyone be alert."

"Yes."

Wei Zhengbang was ordered to go down and made a few gestures. The surrounding area immediately became quiet, even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared, and the entire Hongye Temple fell into a strange silence.

The wind and dew in the mountains were heavy, and this silence made people feel even more uncomfortable. After a while, my fingertips became cold. I looked at the mist steaming, but there was no one on the path that extended down the mountain. It took a while.

One o'clock passed, and it was almost midnight. The morning light shone through the clouds and mist, and everything was clear before my eyes.

The people around him became even more nervous.

Some people have even begun to wonder - "Are the people from the state capital not coming?"

Not coming?

I remembered that night, when he stood coldly in the crowd and allowed the assassin to take me away. But this time, it was clearly his offer of exchange. Could it be that he had already discovered something at Hongye Temple that day, so——<

/p>

Did he really give up?

My fingertips are as cold as ice, but there is no orchid button for me to hold, because it is no longer there.

Although I have resentments in my heart and don’t want to see anyone bleed, I...

Really, I still want to see you again...
