Qi Xun, who was thousands of miles away, looked at Zhao Li expressionlessly, exuding a coldness that no one should enter.

"You mean that the Wu family has withdrawn from the marriage, and she is already on her way to Beijing. ”

This her, Zhao Li naturally understands who it is.

"Yes. ”

Qi Xun's face sank, and an uncontrollable dangerous anger flashed in his eyes.

"What was she to say when you gave her the seal that day?"

Zhao Li cautiously peeked at the master's eyes, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Nope. ”

When the words fell, the atmosphere in the room froze and was uncomfortably cold.

Zhao Li didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of accidentally igniting the anger of the lord.

In this oppressive atmosphere, Miss Xi'er's crisp laughter broke the chill in the room.

Qi Xun quickly put away the chill all over his body, and replaced it with a warm smile, which was the same as the two of them just now.

Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief, touched the cold sweat on his head, and quickly disappeared into the room after throwing a grateful glance at Xi'er.

Xi'er blinked mischievously, looking at the back of the fleeing for her life in amusement.

"Brother Qian, who provoked you again?"

Qi Xun patted the chair next to him and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Xi'er rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and sat beside him with a food box.

"I heard that you didn't eat much at night, I'm afraid you're hungry, No, this is what I prepared for you, and I said okay, you must finish eating, don't waste it. ”

Xi'er's bright eyes made Qi Xun unbearable to refuse, but he really didn't have much appetite, and he didn't know how to eat the food in his mouth.

"Brother Qian, today I listened to my aunt and grandmother discuss marrying you", Xi'er stared at Qi Xun with a smile, and said mysteriously: "Guess which sister is the candidate in their minds." ”

Qi Xun's action of picking up vegetables paused in the air, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and then he ate indifferently.

"Not interested. ”

Xi'er's expectant eyes turned into disappointment, but she still didn't give up.

"Brother Qian, this is your life's event, why don't you care at all. ”

Qi Xun sneered, a touch of pain flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he caught a glimpse of Xi'er's worried eyes in the corner of his eye, and he was shocked to lose his temper.

touched Xi'er's head and smiled.

"Brother Qian's okay, it's night, you're weak, go back and rest early." ”

"But ······" Xi'er was not at ease.

"Brother Ask you still has official business to deal with, I will ask Zhao Gao to send you back. ”

Zhao Gao, who was guarding outside the house, heard the lord's order and immediately entered the house.

Xi'er was worried, turned around three times in one step, and saw that Qi Xun was not unusual, so she was relieved.

Until he was sure that Qi Xun couldn't see it, his eyes were red, his nose was sour, and he said timidly in a low voice: "Zhao Gao, did I say the wrong thing, and I made Brother Xun unhappy." ”

Zhao Gao didn't know how to appease the sad Xi'er, so he scratched the back of his head helplessly, opened his mouth, and was about to persuade him, when a teenager walked out of the path.

The young man wore a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair on his head, his face was as clear as a carving, and his angular face was unusually handsome.

It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it.

Xi'er's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, but she quickly put it away, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stepped forward to salute.

"Second cousin. ”

The corners of the young man's mouth rose, and he looked at Zhao Gao with a smile.

"Xi'er girl was bullied by the eldest brother again", turned her head to Zhao Gao and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhao Gao, as the personal guard of the eldest brother, you don't persuade him." ”

Zhao Gao clasped his fists and saluted expressionlessly.

"The second son was too worried, and the lord didn't bully Miss Xi'er. ”

Xi'er saw that Qi Lei blamed Brother Qian, and glared at him dissatisfiedly, "It's not about asking my brother, it's Xi'er who can't think about it, if the second cousin is fine, Xi'er will retire first." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Qi Lei's reaction and walked towards his residence.

Qi Lei squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the distant back, revealing a touch of playful sarcasm.

The little guy Qi Liu muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Miss Xi'er doesn't take the second son too seriously. ”

Qi Lei looked at Qi Liu coldly.

"You have transgressed. ”

Qi Liu's face turned pale and he knelt down in fear.

"Minions deserve to die. As he spoke, he slapped himself hard.

··················

Zhao Li grabbed the carrier pigeon in his hand, took out the note from its foot, spread it out and took a quick look, his brows furrowed slightly.

Turning back and walking towards the study.

"Lord, this is news from Handcheng. ”

Qi Xun put down the pen in his hand, took the note in Zhao Li's hand, suppressed the anger of the night, unconsciously dissipated a lot, and smiled happily.

"Tell them to go down and do what Miss Liu wants, so that they must protect the safety of Mr. and Mrs. Liu. ”

"Yes. Zhao Li waited, and seeing that the lord had no other instructions, he silently retreated and closed the door with his hand.

As soon as he turned around, he almost collided with Jiang Hua with a serious face.

Zhao Li looked up at the sky and said in surprise: "Why is Mr. Jiang here?" ”

Jiang Hua arched his hand and returned the salute, and said with a wry smile: "The Lord is resting." ”

"Not yet. ”

Qi Xun heard the movement of the outer door, his dark and deep eyes flashed a trace of solemnity, flicked the robe on his body, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, come in." ”

Zhao Li opened the door, Jiang Hua thanked him, and hurriedly stepped into the house.

"Mr. Jiang, please be seated. ”

"Thank you, Lord. ”

Qi Xun waited for him to sit down before asking.

"Mr. Jiang came to me so late, but what happened?"

Jiang Hua nodded, took the tea handed over by Zhao Li, and said: "The minister just got the information from the front line, three days ago, the generalissimo Jiang Huai was assassinated, and his life was in danger, and the deputy marshal Liu Zhen was in danger and was ordered to take charge of the handsome seal, a day ago, Liu Zhen suddenly ordered the withdrawal of the army, abandoned Dongguan City, left the people of a city, and retreated to Taifeng Mansion. ”

Qi Xun tapped his fingers on the table, his movements getting faster and faster, and his dark and deep eyes flashed with essence.

Get up and walk over to the map behind the bookshelf and take a closer look at the terrain above.

"Dongguan City is the last checkpoint to contain the Qianghu tribe and Beiliang, if it is breached, the mainland of Chu will be opened to the enemy. Liu Zhen is a famous general in the Chu State, how could he be so confused, by the way, what are the actions of Prince Shou?"

Jiang Hua shook his head solemnly.

"The minister didn't get any news. ”

Qi Xun's sword eyebrows tightened, and he turned his gaze to the map again.

After a long time, Qi Xun's frowning brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Looking back at Jiang Hua on the side, he saw that he looked suddenly enlightened, and knew that the two of them had the same idea.

Jiang Hua shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Liu Zhen's desperate plan is not afraid to put himself in. ”

"Putting him to death and then coming to life, Liu Zhen's hand is ruthless, but it is a pity for the people in Dongguan City. Qi Xun pursed his lips disdainfully.

Thinking that so many people were about to die under the Qianghu tribe and the Beiliang Iron Horse, Jiang Hua felt heavy and uncomfortable.
