Chapter 322 Unfathomable
Seeing this, Di Beizun's cold and handsome face softened slightly, and his tone became gentler, "I am just reminding you not to get involved in unnecessary trouble. They are not good people worth getting close to."
Upon hearing this, Lady Sikong raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but stroke her chin. Her beautiful, star-like eyes looked at him with a flickering light. "You talk as if you're the only good person in the whole world! At worst, I'll just stop showing my charming feminine side to them in the future!"
"Humph!"
Di Beizun snorted coldly, too lazy to respond to her.
If he can't handle her, surely he can handle Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie's gang!
"Change your clothes, and I'll take you for a walk."
He looked at her intently, as if trying to imprint her image in his eyes, then suddenly stood up, uttered these words, and walked towards the side hall outside.
It was only then that Lord Sikong noticed a black robe and a black cloak lying on the spot where he had just been sitting...
As I changed into a black robe and put on a cloak, I walked down the steps of the Dragon Palace and saw him standing at the bottom of the steps with his hands behind his back, also dressed in a black cloak.
"Your Majesty, the horse you requested is ready!"
Just as Sikong Jin arrived beside him, Eunuch Xu suddenly came to report, giving Sikong Jin a strange look.
"Go back!"
After saying this, Di Beizun glanced at Sikong Jin to the side, and then strode forward. Sikong Jin was stunned for a moment before following him.
After walking through a long corridor and down the steps, you will see a tall, magnificent horse parked on the bluestone avenue ahead.
Di Beizun stepped forward and mounted his horse with ease, but Sikong Jin stopped in an instant, raising her eyes to look at him with some confusion—shouldn't there be another horse?
"come over!"
Seeing that she did not move, His Majesty the Northern Emperor spoke in a low voice while reaching out to her.
Sikong Jin was startled and frowned, somewhat unable to react. However, before she could think too much, Di Beizun had already taken control of the reins, spurred his horse, and galloped past. As he passed by her, he bent down and quickly and accurately grabbed her waist. With a forceful pull, Sikong Jin felt her body lighten, and in the next instant, she was already on the horse's back!
She was held tightly in his arms, her back pressed against his warm chest, and his cool, aloof aura was clearly felt. She was momentarily dazed.
However, Di Beizun had already firmly controlled the horse beneath him. With a neigh, the clear sound of hooves followed, and the horse galloped towards the palace gate ahead.
……
They headed straight for the outskirts of the capital, heading towards the west gate. The two sped through the bustling city, their black cloaks completely obscuring their figures, making it impossible for others to see them clearly. Moreover, Di Beizun's horsemanship was exceptional; before anyone could react, the two had already vanished like lightning. When people turned to look, they could only vaguely see their black robes fluttering in the wind...
On the wide and clean official road leading to the outskirts of the northern gate of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the evening, chasing after the setting sun that was gradually sinking into the distance.
He held her tightly with one hand and steadily controlled the reins with the other, galloping straight ahead.
Sikong Jin was still somewhat dazed. When she turned her head and looked up at him, she saw that his expression was unusually reserved and deep. His calm and unfathomable eyes did not look at her, but stared in front of him. His large hand, which was lightly on her waist, was getting closer and closer. The force was so strong that it was as if he wanted to knead her whole body into his chest.
Seemingly sensing his unusual thoughts, Sikong Jin felt a strange melancholy creep into her heart. Thinking of their impending separation, she didn't know how to express herself, and a deep sense of sorrow welled up in her chest. Feeling the faint warmth emanating from his chest, she didn't hesitate or ponder anything further. Her cool, delicate hands suddenly and gently covered his large hands that were wrapped around her waist…
I could faintly feel his large hand tremble slightly, and then his arm tightened even more.
She didn't ask him where he was going. As he sped forward, the evening breeze constantly brushed against their faces, causing their robes to sway. For a moment, Sikong Jin suddenly felt that she was very, very close to him, so close that she could hear the beating of his heart.
Although they were chasing the setting sun, Sikong Jin felt that they were chasing more than just the sunset; they were chasing their hopes for the future. For a long time to come, this moment would be a beautiful memory to cherish. No matter how difficult the road ahead or how treacherous the storms of the future, having such a moment was naturally wonderful.
The future is far away, eternity is too distant, so let's seize the day and enjoy every moment.
Every time he helped her, she would remember it in her heart. As those memories accumulated, she suddenly realized that his image was often appearing in her mind, and then she began to have some thoughts about him.
For someone like her, some things are a luxury, so the empty corner in her heart is also forcibly left unattended.
But now that I think about it, there's nothing wrong with this situation.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Those black-cloaked assassins at the Jiangxi Fortress that night, were they all your men?"
"Otherwise, who do you think would bother with these things?"
He didn't deny it; he readily admitted it.
Sikong Jin suddenly turned around, raised her starry eyes and looked at him intently. After a while, she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her nose. Her starry eyes flickered, and a dark glint flashed in them. "How did you know that Tuoba Kang was going to make a move against me? No, to be precise, how did you know that Tuoba Kang was going to make a move against me and Tuoba Yu?"
Upon hearing this, his usually calm eyes narrowed slightly. He looked down at her in his arms for a long while before saying in a low voice, "This is obvious. Can't you use your stupid brain to think about it? After this battle with Tuoba Yu, the position of Crown Prince of Tiansheng is already firmly in his grasp. Taking risks is a common tactic of Tuoba Kang. The fact that he trained a group of assassins on the southeastern border of Da Zhou is no secret to me."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin couldn't help but tremble—
Even Tuoba Yu didn't know, but he actually...
Just how unfathomable is this man!
