Although Lin Wanwan's words were said plainly, the meaning behind them was undoubtedly to defend Su Jingqian.
After hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but "tsk" twice, poured herself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "When I heard you mention Su Jin in the past, you either ridiculed him for his deep scheming or his vicious methods. It’s even worse than what I just said. Why do you change your attitude now that I’m talking about it?”
Lin Wanwan ignored Xu Jiaojiao's teasing and just took the tea cup from her hand and put it to her lips.
Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, stared at Lin Wanwan with interest for a moment, and smiled ambiguously: "Looking at you like this, have you figured it out?"
Lin Wanwan glanced at Xu Jiaojiao, slowly put down the tea cup, and just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing her attitude, Xu Jiaojiao obviously acquiesced. She took another cup and poured tea while sighing: "I was particularly worried when I saw you and Su Jin together before. I was worried that you would not be able to let go of the past and would not let go of yourself. I was even more worried that you would be raped. Su Jin took advantage and calculated, and ended up heartbroken and heartbroken. Now that I see you willing to take this step towards Su Jin, I somehow feel that this is how things should be between you two."
When Lin Wanwan heard this, her eyes glanced at Xu Jiaojiao with a hint of inquiry. Apparently she heard another meaning in Xu Jiaojiao's words.
Xu Jiaojiao took a sip of tea, put away her playful look, and said quietly: "To be honest, I didn't want to have any more entanglements between you and Su Jin. Firstly, because he once pierced your heart. Although you have never said it, as your sister, how can you not understand, so naturally you have no good impression of him. The second reason is because Su Jin is too unpredictable, not to mention him Those strategies and methods, just the smile on his face, makes it difficult to tell whether there is murderous intention hidden under the smile. It always gives people an unwarranted feeling, which really makes me unhappy. In the past, I I feel that if you continue to be entangled with him, I am afraid that he will eventually chew you up to the point where no bones are left, but now I can understand a little bit."
At this point, a slight smile appeared on Xu Jiaojiao's lips, and she said with some relief: "Su Jin, although she has a serious mind, harsh methods, and is extremely harsh on people and things, she still treats But you really have nothing to say. At first, he knew that I was a spy sent by you, but he still kept me here. After you came to Nanling, you plotted against him several times and wanted to destroy his chessboard. , but he has never argued with you. This time you were called into the palace by the Queen Mother, and he actually mobilized all the Tianshu Pavilion killers hidden in Nanling City and prepared them. Although he did not explain the purpose, I You know, if you were really wronged in the palace, he would probably rush directly into the palace to rescue you."
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan's eyes moved slightly, like a gentle breeze blowing over water, creating waves. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she seemed to think of something, and a flash of doubt flashed across her eyes.
Su Jin seemed to attach great importance to the killers from Tianshu Pavilion, and he almost always used these killers in Nanling. But the killer is quite good at ambush and sneak attack in the dark, but if he fights the well-trained soldiers head-on with open guns and arrows, wouldn't he be asking for death? No matter how good Su Jin is at controlling people's hearts, Tianshu Pavilion has always been mainly about business, and he came here to be a killer just for profit. It is completely different from those dead soldiers raised by high-ranking officials and powerful people who can work for him without any scruples. Could it be that Su Jin Isn't Jin afraid that these killers will be incited to rebel or escape from the battle?
Tracing back to its origins, Tianshu Pavilion emerged decades ago, making a living by buying and selling human heads. The martial arts of the assassins in the Pavilion are considered to be at the top in the industry. Therefore, Tianshu Pavilion has always had a good reputation and has gradually become the leading assassination pavilion in the world. If she hadn't accidentally heard some clues about Tianshu Pavilion from her uncle, she would never have imagined that Tianshu Pavilion would be inextricably linked to the Dongchen royal family.
Furthermore, the killers in Tianshu Pavilion should not know Su Jin's true identity. For example, Nie Ya, Yiyi and Le Yao all know nothing about Su Jin's identity. But if this is the case, then how could Su Jin leave some more obscure things to them? Could it be...
A white light flashed in Lin Wanwan's mind, and the spiritual platform suddenly became clear. She couldn't help but recall what Su Jin said to Lu Renjia that day -
"Why do you, Tianshu Pavilion, pretend to be Dongchen's people? What do you really want?"
"Pretend? I didn't expect that the secret agent commander of Xi Jing would be so naive. Do you think that Tianshu Pavilion, which has been standing for decades in the world, is really just an assassination pavilion?"
It turned out that Su Jin had hinted at him at that time... It was a pity that he failed to understand his intentions. He only thought that he had no soldiers to mobilize in the game of Nanling, and actually threatened him with Wanyue Tower...
Now that I think about it, Tianshu Pavilion is just a chess piece placed on the bright side, just like the Xuanji Tower has been protecting Tianshu Pavilion. In fact, in addition to killers, there are also...
Son within son, game within game. It turns out that the late Emperor Dongchen has been planning for the other three countries since the beginning. It turns out that Dongchen's ambition has been revealed as early as the appearance of Tianshu Pavilion...
So, is Su Jin doing this to fulfill the last wishes of his fathers, or is he trying to establish a peaceful and prosperous age as they wished when they were young? Or, as he said, he wants to break fate and establish a new world?
Seeing Lin Wanwan's ethereal eyes, as if they were wandering in the sky, Xu Jiaojiao frowned and asked with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I said, are you listening?"
"I'm listening." Lin Wanwan retracted her thoughts, looked at Xu Jiaojiao's resentful eyebrows, and repeated with a smile: "You said, you wanted to ask Su Jin why I didn't return after being summoned to the palace, but... I overheard the conversation between Su Jin and Ziyu, but they quickly discovered you and stopped talking."
Xu Jiaojiao saw that she had repeated what she had just said exactly, and could no longer hold back, so she glared at her angrily and continued: "Su Jin has been dormant in Nanling for so many years. In the chess game of Nanling, It can almost be said that he is at ease and has never shown any flaws. But as soon as you appeared, he became confused and almost lost his balance for you several times. If this is not love, what is it? Childhood friendship? "
Saying that, Xu Jiaojiao chuckled and shook her head, and said with some regret: "Since he has you in his heart, you are also willing to take this step. From now on, you should look forward to everything and no longer need to worry about the past. No matter what the final result is, whether you will regret it or not, at least there will be no more regrets.”
Xu Jiaojiao's words were like a string that plucked a few times deep in Lin Wanwan's heart, making her heart tremble unconsciously.
There seems to be the rhyme of shengxiao and flute in my ears, just like a fairy pipe descending from the clouds. The spring breeze blows, the sun is warm and the snow melts into a pool of river snow.
After a long while, Lin Wanwan murmured back: "Yes, there will be no more regrets..."
