Chapter 294: Hostage Exchange
The most hurtful thing in the world is the relationship between men and women, some people love and will give everything they have, even if they are broken, they will never regret it. But this is the pathos of the giver.
And some obviously don't love it, but they live up to it. Unswerving expressions, what they are best at is playing with feelings and people's hearts, they can come and go freely in the middle, and they can also let go of the chic and unrestrained. Just because they are the most heartless makers in love.
And Xue'er is not like the above two, but she can't escape the fate of being let down. Li Chijun is not her lover after all. And her sincerity is destined to not be reciprocated.
Xue'er, this girl is destined to be a stupid and distressing girl in love, and she blames herself, if she had taken Xue'er over earlier a few days ago, she wouldn't have given birth to so many things. Xue'er was controlled by Chu Ze...... And Li Chijun seems to be more auspicious.
No wonder Chu Chen personally asked for his help today, it seems that Chu Xiaochen must have been hidden by Chu Ze.
It's just that she is a little puzzled, according to Chu Ze's current power, if he wants to save Chu Yin Qingling from her, he has that ability, why didn't he come directly to the Lotus Palace to find her and ask for someone? Instead, he wanted to let himself personally press Yin Qingling to go to the palace to see him? Is this a bit of a fuss?
After careful consideration, she really didn't understand, what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Ze's gourd, and she didn't know what his purpose was. But no matter what, Cher is actually in his hands, so she can't escape the fate of going to the palace.
She didn't know what she was about to face, but even if she had to face a sea of swords and fire, she was bound to take a trip.
Shangguan still finally sorted out the source of the matter clearly, she clutched the letter in her hand tightly, and walked to the bed and sat down. The mood of the five-flavor cereals is very unpleasant...... After a few moments, she stood up and strode straight to the gate......
A month later, outside the gate of the imperial city, Shangguan still arrived as promised, and arrived in the capital all the way, but in the imperial city, there was a strange atmosphere all the way. In the past, on the wide street, half a figure was never seen.
"Palace Master, the capital is particularly weird today, you see that there is no one on the street, isn't it too strange?" The clouds on the horse, unconsciously vigilant, this seemingly calm everything is too weird.
"Be careful, everybody, just in case. Shangguan was still riding on a tall horse, and everything quiet in the city instantly made her vigilant, afraid of being ambushed, after all, she was in the open and the enemy was in the dark.
Immediately arrived at the gate of the imperial city, and suddenly the gate was opened. In the past, there were no guards guarding the gates, nor did they meet the guards who patrolled.
It's not like a palace at all, it's like a dead city. The stall owners who set up stalls outside the door to make a living are also like guards, and there is no increase in the number of people who meet.
"Whewβ" The woman tightened her horse's leash, as if intent on stopping the horse. She jumped off the horse skillfully, and her black hair danced with her, which was a little more feminine.
Shangguan still looked around, and also jumped off the horse. After that, several women in yellow skirts came over with a down-and-out woman and stood behind Shangguan Yi.
"Palace Master, there has always been a crowd of people here, and it is very lively. It's so quiet today, I'm afraid that there is another mystery......" The clouds swept away the empty and uninhabited surroundings, and he instructed uneasily.
The gate of the palace has always been crowded with people, and today it is so quiet, how can she not doubt it?
"Hmm...... It's a little weird indeed. β
What does this man Chu Ze want to do?
With such a large gate, there was not even a single guard guarding the guard? What was he trying to do? Or what was he calculating? Shangguan still couldn't help but be curious.
At that time, a man in brocade clothes walked out of the gate, followed by several young men who looked like soldiers.
"Master Xia, my master has a !! for you" He bowed his head and stood aside, making way for Shangguan to still make way.
"We've already brought the hostages, and I hope you will honor the agreement!
The man who came, Shangguan still remembers. He was Chu Ze's personal bodyguard, remembering that he was chased and killed by Yin Qingling three years ago, and it was Chu Ze who came to help, and this guard she had seen at that time, and he seemed to be a little hostile at that time. Because the guard's eyes were very hostile at that time, it made her a little more impressed. It seems that her previous suspicions were not wrong, Yin Qingling is really Chu Ze's person?
"My master said that if Master Xia wants to save people. We need to go in, Miss Cher is very good, we don't dare to slack off!"
"Palace master be careful, in case there is fraud!" As soon as Yun Cai heard that he was going in, he couldn't help but become vigilant.
"Jianghu uploads that the head of Xia's "outstanding martial arts" and "talented" are not only courageous, but also have the courage that others don't have, and when I see it today, he ...... glance at Shangguan and said with a little disappointment: "It's just that?"
"Don't you want to use the agitation method on our palace master? The person you want is here? If you have some ability, you will ask your master to come out? Don't do something shameful? I can't stand a woman. The woman in the yellow shirt behind said unconvinced.
"Hmph...... Jokes: My master, how can you see it when you say it? A girl is so rampant? If it weren't for you as a woman, you would have been polite a long time ago?"
"Huh...... I really want to see, how much ability do you have?" the woman said, drawing her sword and pointing at Leng Shuo.
"I don't know you like you?" he glanced at the woman in the yellow shirt, with the expression of a showman meeting a soldier. Then he swept his gaze to Shangguan Yi.
"Master Xia!
"Palace Master, don't go in, there must be an ambush inside!" Yun Cai hurriedly stopped and tugged at her arm. Yaoyaotou seemed to ask her not to go in.
Shangguan still swept around, glancing at the guards.
It seems that if she doesn't go in today, she won't be able to see Xue'er?
What should I do? No, if you don't go in?
Chu Ze: What kind of trick are you playing? Do you know that Yin Qingling has suffered a lot at my hands, and I want to help her take revenge, so I made a move, "Please enter the urn?"
Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! However, Chu Ze is meticulous and does things without leakage, no matter how good his martial arts are, it is good to do light work. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get any bargain from him? Didn't she eat a lot of bones from him three years ago? That kidnapping she will never forget for the rest of her life.
If Chu Ze really dealt with himself for Yin Qingling, then he would definitely die if he went in, and it was impossible for her not to save Xue'er, so now her only way was to let the innocent people leave.
Only in this way will she not be distracted, and she will have to worry about their safety. So she can't harm everyone for her own selfishness?
After thinking about it, she decided to escort Yin Qingling in by herself, depending on the situation, Chu Ze was prepared, how could she refuse, make excuses, and had to go in. Even if what awaits her inside is a tiger's mouth and wolf teeth.
Fortunately, she left a letter with her departure, believing that if nothing else, it would have been given to Abda, but this was only a fluke in her heart, and because she was in a hurry, she did not give the letter to Abuda, but put it in her room.
She took Yuncai's hand away and ordered her subordinates to let go of Yin Qingling, she pulled out her cold sword and quickly put it on Yin Qingling's neck.
"You go back first, and I'll go in by myself." See you at the old place!"
She escorted Yin Qingling to take two steps, this time Yin Qingling was very obedient, unlike the previous unforgiving words, she was dressed in simple cloth clothes, slightly old. The dislocated green silk is messy and has not been taken care of. A few small scars the size of fingernails were clinging to her fair face, making people disgusted at the sight.
There is a world of difference between the beautiful and moving woman with aura in the past, you can't imagine that in the Xingyue Palace, a woman who dances upside down in the palace of the stars and moons is so disgusting, which is not difficult to make people jaw-dropping and surprised.
Yun Cai saw that Shangguan still walked into the palace single-handedly, and was so frightened that he immediately stopped him. "My subordinates are willing to live and die with the palace master and never go back. The cloud followed, kneeling on one knee and pleading. The other Douglas women do the same thing as the clouds.
"It's an order...... Don't you listen to me?"
β...... Palace Master, we!"
"Enough, go back!"
"Ask the palace master to let his subordinates accompany him!" said Yun solemnly. It seems to put life and death out of the way. Moving two steps on her knees, she was also shocked by Shangguan's resoluteness, it was the first time she had seen her so angry.
"No one is allowed to follow, otherwise they will be expelled from the division and will never be allowed to set foot in the Lotus Palace. I do what I say!"
"Don't worry, my master won't do anything to your master!" Leng Shuo saw that they had been entangled like this, and he didn't know when it would be the end, so he interjected.
"Hmph, in that case! Why don't you just let people go? Why do you still let the palace master in? You promise? What guarantee do you take? Your life is not as valuable as our palace master's life!"
"You !!"
"Forget it, I don't care about you!" Leng Shuo said with his arms folded and a non-stubborn expression. "My master is busy with politics, if you don't make a good decision and delay the time to exchange hostages, you will not wait!"
"You ββ!" Yun got up angrily and stomped his feet.
"Okay, listen to my orders, go back-" Shangguan still didn't say anything, and escorted Yin Qingling to the palace gate.
As if everything was unloaded, with a heart that looked at death as if it were home, he stepped into this locked wall.
The clouds kept calling behind him, trying to stop him, but he was stopped by several women in yellow shirts behind him. "Senior sister, focus on the overall situation. The palace master arranged like this, presumably there should be a way to deal with it, let's go back first, tell Senior Sister Yunjin about this matter, and discuss countermeasures together!" After several hard persuasions, more than a dozen people left.
Inside the palace, a towering attic is built on moss. The palace with a wide view is like a space isolated from the world. Green bricks and blue tiles. The trees are thick, the rockeries are picturesque, and all the beautiful scenery is in full view.
Shangguan still pressed Yin Qingling, whose hands were firmly tied together by the rope, all the way forward. Leng Shuo didn't know when, he was already leading the way in front, followed by a few guards.
After a while, I came to a large gate, where the view, the surrounding flowers and trees, and several connected attics.
A young man in a dragon robe stood at the gate in front of him, followed by several guards who protected him, and a personal eunuch.
The bright yellow robe, hugging his majestic body, was so majestic and inviolable.
