Di Xin did not open his mouth to expose Zhao Yue'er's little thoughts, nor did he answer her questions. Instead, he turned to look at the hourglass on the table and pointedly said: "It's half past midnight."
"What...ah!"
Zhao Yue'er suddenly shouted.
She also came here secretly tonight after Zhao Quanyou left, and her father returned around Chou hour.
In other words, she had to rush back within half an hour, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
What the secret was, I could only find an opportunity to ask later. Zhao Yuer did not dare to waste any time and left the study in a hurry.
Di Xin chuckled lightly and calmed down his expression when he sat back behind the desk again.
Zhao Quanyou is going back soon, which means tonight's operation is about to begin.
Tonight, many people are destined to have no sleep.
…
Hurrying slowly, Zhao Yue'er finally rushed back to the inn before Chou Shi.
However, she was still a step too late.
Zhao Quanyou knew that King Yu would launch activities tonight, so he ended his communication with intelligence personnel early tonight.
This kind of thing has not happened before, so it has not aroused other people's suspicion.
However, after returning to the inn, he found that his daughter's room was empty.
In Zhao Quanyou's memory, his daughter had never run out without saying a word in the middle of the night, and then thinking about the chaos that was about to happen tonight...
He panicked at the time. If something happened to his daughter, his world would collapse.
Just as he was about to go out to look for his daughter at all costs, he suddenly saw a flash of green appear on the roof in the distance from the corner of his eye.
The congenital grandmaster has clear senses and naturally excellent eyesight. Although the green color only flashed away, he had already recognized that it was his daughter's clothes.
The clothes she wore today were custom-made in the capital, and there was no suitable style available at the border.
The figure that jumped onto the roof again made Zhao Quanyou confirm that it was his daughter.
When he found that his daughter was fine and would be back soon, his anxiety disappeared, and he turned around and walked into his daughter's room.
So the scene just now occurred.
As soon as Zhao Yue'er opened the door, she was startled by Zhao Quanyou sitting at the table. The long-standing little secret was revealed by her father. She could neither advance nor retreat at this moment.
It's still too late to come back.
Zhao Yue'er was very upset, but she didn't dare to look at her father. She only occasionally raised her head secretly to look at Zhao Quanyou's expression, and then quickly lowered her head.
In the end, it was Zhao Quanyou who broke the silence first.
After sighing, he said: "What's wrong with standing at the door in the middle of the night? Come in and close the door."
"I know, Dad."
Zhao Yue'er shouted sarcastically, entered the room and closed the door, then walked to Zhao Quanyou, not daring to sit down.
"sit."
"oh."
Zhao Yue'er sat down obediently.
There was another long silence.
Zhao Quanyou's voice suddenly sounded again: "How many times?"
"First...first..."
Zhao Yue'er subconsciously wanted to lie and hide it, but after accidentally meeting her father's eyes, she was quickly defeated. She couldn't say the word "second" out of her mouth.
Sure enough, it has happened more than once.
Zhao Quan was not surprised. He sighed and asked again: "Where are you going?"
It would be too much for a woman to go out without permission at night. If her father knew that she went to see Yu Wang every time, she really wouldn't know how to explain it.
Zhao Yue'er lowered her head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "No... I didn't go anywhere. I'm just too bored. I went out for a walk."
Zhao Quanyou narrowed his eyes: "Really?"
Zhao Yue'er answered cautiously: "Really."
Even the dullest person can smell the smell of guilty conscience, let alone hide it from Zhao Quan.
A girl can’t help her father!
Zhao Quanyou had a strange feeling in his heart, but seeing his daughter's cautious look, he couldn't say the question he had originally planned.
Forget it, who doesn't have a little secret of their own at such a young age? As long as nothing happens to them, it's fine.
Did Zhao Quan delve deeper into why his daughter's behavior tonight was different from her usual personality? After restraining those unnecessary thoughts, he said: "It is not safe for a girl to go out in the middle of the night. If you want to go for a walk in the future, find two people to accompany you."
you."
"I know, Dad."
Zhao Yue'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but naturally she said that it was whatever her father said.
"Get some rest quickly."
Zhao Quanyou was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Yue'er.
"Dad, my daughter has something to say."
Zhao Quanyou turned around: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yue'er bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Dad, how about we not go to the West?"
Through the moonlight, you can see the little expectation in her eyes.
Zhao Quanyou paused for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal: "Okay, Yue'er won't go if he doesn't want to go."
"It's late at night, let's take a rest."
"Yeah, so are you, Dad."
…
Zhao Quanyou frowned as soon as he walked out of his daughter's room, but he did not stop and walked back to his room as usual.
Then close the door gently.
After sitting down, he sighed deeply.
Before going to the meeting tonight, my daughter was still packing the things she needed to prepare for going to the West. However, after just over an hour, she changed her mind. Anyone can tell that this must be related to the real reason why she went out just now.
Zhao Yue'er was new to the world, so she thought she couldn't guess anything without telling Zhao Quanyou, but she forgot that Zhao Quanyou had just told her during the day that he was not only a wealthy businessman, but also an extremely outstanding killer.
Whether it is business or assassination, keen observation and judgment are essential skills.
During the day, he had already analyzed the power with his daughter, so her daughter should know that they only have two choices now. One is to seek refuge with His Highness Prince Yu, at the cost of her staying in the General's Mansion as a bargaining chip; and the second choice is to give up everything here and travel far away.
Western.
Since Zhao Yue'er has changed her mind and not gone to the West, she has acquiesced in the first choice.
She was willing to stay alone in the general's mansion in exchange for his freedom.
After thinking about this clearly, he naturally knew what Zhao Yuer was doing when he went out in the middle of the night.
She went to find King Yu.
He sneaked into the general's mansion in the middle of the night and came back safe and sound. After he came back, he changed his mind, and it could be seen that he was not forced...
In other words, the daughter stayed in the general's mansion voluntarily.
Since she is a hostage and a bargaining chip, staying in the general's mansion means that she is not responsible for life or death. Even if King Yu has evil intentions towards her, she will not even be able to resist.
A small martial arts master in the middle stage can't even make a splash in the General's Mansion.
But my daughter obviously has no worries about this.
Zhao Quanyou taught Zhao Yue'er very comprehensively. It is impossible for her to have no idea about the defense between men and women, but she did not have any precautions for Prince Yu when facing a strange man.
This is the reaction that people have towards people they know well and whom they trust quite a bit.
In addition, this time, in Zhao Quanyou's memory, Zhao Yue'er had only been to the General's Mansion twice, and had not had much communication with Prince Yu each time.
So, where did the trust and familiarity between them come from?
