Bai Xiao didn't understand that the reason why the wolf girl put so much effort into it was because of the music he just played?
He was just playing as he pleased, so why did the wolf girl care so much? Even he himself had no way of explaining the origin of the music, so he could only reply:
"Teach yourself without a teacher."
After hearing the answer given by Bai Xiao, the wolf girl's blurred eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of emotion, as if she was wronged and unwilling.
"truth?"
Bai Xiao nodded.
"truth!"
The expression on the wolf girl's face when she looked at the white owl didn't seem to be fake, but how could this be possible? How could a piece of music composed by one's heart be exactly the same as an existing piece of music in the world?
But she didn't dwell too much on this issue.
"Okay, then answer my second question, what is your real name? Are you from the Northern Barbarian country?"
As soon as she said this, Yin Wei and An San looked at Bai Xiao in shock.
Could it be that Bai Xiao, the personal bodyguard of the Emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom, is from an enemy country?
The Wolf Girl's questions were obviously two questions, but they were still the same question. They were asking Bai Xiao about his original identity. I didn't know what his answer would be.
In Bai Xiao's heart, there seemed to be a string that had been left unused for a long time. Suddenly it was plucked, causing the whole heart to tremble.
He didn't have time to delve into it, or even think about it. He didn't directly answer the wolf girl's question, but said:
"Ever since I can remember, I have been our master's man. I only recognize one name in my life, and that is Bai Xiao!"
The originally hopeful look in the wolf girl's eyes was instantly lost, and this loss was also conveyed to her pleasant voice.
"We agreed that if I win, you have to answer my questions truthfully and you can't lie to me."
"I didn't lie to you. What I said was all the truth."
Bai Xiao still had a cold expression on his face.
He also didn't understand that the wolf girl had a drinking contest with him not to win back the bone flute that she cherished so much, but just to ask him these two seemingly insignificant questions. What was the purpose?
"Since I lost, I will give you a cup of tea to escape. If you are caught, don't blame me."
An San looked at Bai Xiao eagerly. Those two were both very good at lightness skills. Needless to say, a cup of tea would take as long as a few blinks of an eye, and it would be difficult to catch up.
The hidden guard of the wolf girl stretched out her hand, palm facing up.
"Since you lost, can our little master's bone flute be returned?"
The white owl did not move.
"That's not part of the bet."
The hidden guard raised his eyebrows and listened to the movements around him. We were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered. The young master was still a little drunk, so it was really not appropriate to entangle him. He had to withdraw his hand angrily.
"Little Master, let's go."
The hidden guards protected the wolf girl and walked out. If they cooperated with the little master in a sneak attack, they might have a chance of winning. But the little master just exposed himself for a song. He had to retreat first and then make plans.
The wolf girl was unwilling to give in and looked back at Bai Xiao:
"Is he still alive? The person who taught you this song, is he still alive?"
It turns out that the wolf girl is looking for someone. Who is so important to her that she is willing to risk her life?
Could the person she was looking for be herself? Could it be that they had known each other before?
Before Bai Xiao could figure it out, he heard that the hidden guards who were lying in ambush were about to move.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, reminding the two of them that it was time to leave.
The hidden guard saw Bai Xiao's movements and had no choice but to hold the wolf girl's shoulders and forcefully take her away.
Bai Xiao looked up and happened to see the wolf girl, turning back with a tear.
She cried? Why was she crying? She is a wolf girl, shouldn't she be cold-blooded and ruthless?
Bai Xiao's mind was in chaos, but An San was almost dying of anxiety.
"Brother Bai Xiao! What are you thinking about? Do you know what the consequences will be if you let them go? Master has always made clear rewards and punishments, how can you get away with it?"
Bai Xiao's thoughts were recalled, but he did not explain what he had done.
Because even he himself has not figured it out yet, he is just acting based on his heart.
Bai Xiao just picked up the tea cup again, took a few sips, and then drank all the tea in the cup.
An San disappeared in an instant. Now, he didn't have the time to investigate Bai Xiao carefully. If he could capture those two people, he might be able to make up for his mistakes.
There are many auras all around, following An San as they rush away.
Bai Xiao did not move, but clenched his fists, fighting in his heart. He poured himself another cup of tea and drank it slowly, trying to clear his head.
When I raised my eyes, I saw snowflakes falling outside. It was actually the first snow since the beginning of winter.
The first snow this winter came a bit late. It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and snow is a good thing for the people.
Bai Xiao put down the money for tea and wine, stood up and walked out of the wine shop, looking up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, quiet and light.
When it fell on his face, the ice was cool and refreshing, but it failed to refresh his heart.
Why would he feel soft-hearted for the loss of the wolf girl, and feel a little pain in his heart for the wolf girl's drop of tears? He even did not hesitate to change his position.
Bai Xiao stood in the snow that was falling harder and harder for an unknown amount of time before An San and others returned to this place.
An San sighed.
"Brother Bai Xiao, if you have any difficulties, you can tell your brothers. If it were you and you fell in love with that wolf girl, your brothers could help you kidnap her back. Why let her go?"
The other secret guards were dumbfounded when they heard An San's words. Maybe Bai Xiao has fallen in love with the wolf girl from the enemy country? How is this possible?
"It's nothing, don't make blind guesses."
Bai Xiao denied it and turned around to go to the palace.
"Why else? We have been through life and death together, don't we even deserve to know the reason?"
An San was a little angry. The wolf girl repeatedly made trouble for her master. If there was no justifiable reason, she would let the enemy go.
At a small level, this is a dereliction of duty and he failed to complete the task assigned by his master. At a serious level, what is the difference between Bai Xiao and betraying his master?
Bai Xiao stopped and said seriously:
"I will tell you when I figure it out."
After he finished speaking, he raised his energy and performed Qing Kung, leaving the others behind.
"Brother Bai Xiao, what does this mean? Do you understand?"
An San scratched his head irritably, while the others shook their heads.
Bai Xiao always acts cleanly and neatly. This is the first time that I see him speaking so unclearly.
Bai Xiao entered the palace and came to the outside of the emperor's palace. The palace door was closed tightly, and the emperor and queen had obviously rested.
He lifted up his robe and knelt down in the snow, surprising the little eunuch who was keeping watch at night.
Bai Xiao is the famous person next to the emperor, and can be said to be the emperor's most trusted subordinate.
What big event happened that could cause Bai Xiao to come outside the emperor's chamber in the middle of the night and kneel down to apologize?
The little eunuch quietly came to Bai Xiao and whispered:
"Guard Bai, the Emperor has rested. If there is anything you need, you can come and report it tomorrow morning. It's not too late."
Bai Xiao knelt straight and had no intention of leaving.
"Thank you for your concern, father-in-law. I will be here waiting for the emperor to get up."
The young eunuch didn't know whether he should report it to the emperor, and he didn't dare to make his own decision, so he had to go to Eunuch Fu quietly.
