Chu Xianzhao lay on the bed with a pale face, the pain that came from his back from time to time made him grin his teeth, and there was a silver plate under the bed, which was soaked in a blood-stained black cloth.

Yu Yutian's claw pierced five blood holes in his back, fortunately, the physique of the sunrise blood gave him the ability to recover beyond ordinary people, Shen Huayu went to sleep after applying the medicine to himself, Chu Xianzhao didn't want this "godsister" to be frightened for him, but this eunuch's methods were really ruthless, and he felt that his body was really swept by his qi, but fortunately, the injured position was the back instead of the chest and abdomen, and it would take three or five days to get better.

He recalled the terrible scene of the black-whipped eunuch in red, it was like a picture that would only appear in the Huangquan Purgatory, and he was almost planted in the hands of this old eunuch, which reminded him that Zhu Ziwei was also like this when his hands were wrapped in red silk, and now it seems that the strength of this old eunuch is unfathomable, even if he is at the peak of his past state, it will probably be very difficult to deal with him, maybe he can barely kill him with the Tai'a sword.

It was pouring rain outside, and a cold woman with bright rouge on her mouth was standing by the window, looking at the hazy rain curtain without any focus, like a begonia that the wind blows and the rain does not break.

Chu Xianzhao chuckled in his heart, thinking that this woman who was both a plague god and a savior hadn't left yet, exhaled lightly, and asked, "What should I call it?"

The woman's voice said softly: "Jiang Tang, I usually don't tell others my real name casually, they all call me "Rouge""

"I like to eat ginger candy. Chu Xianzhao was very happy that he was still in the mood to entertain himself.

She emphasized: "Jiang Tang, the Tang of Begonia, the head of the Crow Qi Wei Liuwei." ”

Of course, Chu Xianzhao knew about Crow Qiwei, and he had also heard of the director of Crow Qiwei codenamed "Xiao", who made the hundred officials of the imperial court tremble just by hearing his name, but he didn't expect Chu Xiaohua to really send someone to Nanlu to find him, and he was also the person who dispatched Crow Qiwei, it seems that the emperor Lao Tzu has a deep grudge against his escape, and plans to tie him up and arrest him back for trial.

In the eyes of many people, the guard of Crow Qiwei is simply the Huangquan Hell in the prosperous city of Lin'an City, and any official who is invited to drink tea in Crow Qiwei often has no chance to come out again, because this organization is specifically aimed at court officials, they are the most loyal crow hunters under Chu Xiaohua, and it is also a shadow cast by this iron-blooded monarch in Lin'an City, and at this moment, this shadow has fallen on his head across the entire Northern Regions.

Chu Xianzhao was silent for a moment: "I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Not long after you left the Yin Kingdom, the princess of the Bottle Kingdom, who was supposed to be the princess, also disappeared into the palace, and other than that, the people you care about are very good...... At least they're not in danger. Jiang Tang guessed the question he wanted to ask himself.

Chu Xianzhao was shocked, Ye Weiwei actually left the palace, but it was no longer something he could interfere in.

And she knew what she wanted to ask.

"I won't go back for the time being, don't force me, this is Sunset, I don't want to have any argument with you, this will make us be wiped out by the people of the Zhao royal family. Chu Xianzhao said, "Although you have already killed many people because of me, I don't want you to continue to die. ”

Jiang Tang said lightly: "Chu Xiaohua asked me to persuade you to go back, on the way I thought a lot of words to persuade you to go home, but in the end I felt that you should make your own choice, if I were you, I would choose to go home, because I am from Xilin, and my home was gone many years ago." ”

"I'm sorry about the West......"

Jiang Tang's ice-sculpted face didn't have any expression, "Any sorry words after that are meaningless, now that we have found your whereabouts, the task is half completed, when you want to go back, we will go back, I won't force you." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled slightly, it felt very comfortable to talk to her, although her memory was still a little confused now, but last night she took herself out of the palace under the cover of a flock of crows, and the women's green silk jumped and a group of crows flew, and there was a huge full moon above their heads.

Chu Xianzhao asked, "What about your companion?"

Jiang Tang said: "They will find a place to settle themselves, you don't have to worry about this, Your Royal Highness the Prince of the World, Chu Xiaohua only let me negotiate with you alone." ”

Chu Xianzhao sighed: "I am no longer His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, nor is it the Chu Xianzhao of the past. ”

"This is your new home? Jiang Tang looked at his living environment.

Chu Xianzhao was a little embarrassed and said: "Yes, I have found a new ally here in Nanlu, and now I am temporarily living in his house as his illegitimate son, and my new name is Tang Huang." ”

"I'd rather be someone else's illegitimate son than go back to Yinguo to be your son, if Chu Xiaohua knows your thoughts, I don't know if he will be half angry, is this your purpose?

"The heart of the Daqing Dynasty, now the six princes and kings are all in Luoyang, they plan to discuss the war against the Yin Kingdom, I want to know the plan between them, but not for Chu Xiaohua, for myself. ”

Jiang Tang's voice was so cold that he said, "That's why you were so stupid to contact the people of the Zhao royal family, and even killed my companions to save them?"

Chu Xianzhao turned over with difficulty, sat on the bed and rubbed his cheeks, which were a little hot, "You shouldn't have appeared at that time, as for me and the people of the Zhao royal family, there is nothing to talk about, I approached them just to get what I wanted, even if I left the Yin Kingdom, I would not take refuge in them, I am not like Chu Xiaohua, I have my own bottom line." ”

"I have already told you the purpose, even if you don't go back with us for a while, we won't

It's the best way you can get rid of us, but we won't reveal your identity. ”

"You think I'm going to do you bad?"

Jiang Tang turned to face him, and said indifferently: "If it were someone else, we might have taken a little risk and took him away, but you are His Royal Highness Chu Xuanzhao, the most valued son of the Iron Emperor Chu Xiaohua, who has conquered Yan Mang and Shu Yue, no one in this world can override you, we believe that your actions are meaningful, at least not to kill yourself." ”

Chu Xianzhao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect my fame to be so big, but you said the wrong thing, you are Chu Xiaohua's most disappointed son." ”

Jiang Tang explained: "We have a detailed record about you, I have seriously analyzed your living habits and character, I think people like you are unwilling to be persecuted, maybe a little domineering, but for a child who has conquered two dynasties, your temperament can be regarded as restrained, so it is good for all of us to push the boat down the river." But you don't have to inch in, our patience is limited, and so is Chu Xiaohua's patience, once he forces us to take you back, we won't say anything to you, so whatever you want to do in Nanlu, please hurry. ”

The first time Chu Zhaozhao saw a woman who spoke so frankly, he was a little speechless, and could only shake his head and smile.

It was the second time he had seen this woman, no matter how much he resisted, she didn't kill him, probably because she wanted to show her sincerity, but she didn't want to be saved by her in the end.

"My men and I saved your life last night, and now we have a few questions to ask Your Highness. The woman's slender fingers wrapped around a strand of green silk and looked at him with a lowered eyebrow.

"What do you want to ask me?" Chu Xianzhao glanced at her alertly.

Jiang Tang asked with a calm face, "What about the woman who defected abroad with you?

"I can't answer that question for you. Chu Xianzhao said.

"Then listen well. Jiang Tang seemed to guess that he would explain like this, and said: "Because of your stupid move, now the people of the entire Great Yin Dynasty will have to pay the price for this, first the Bottle Kingdom announced the dissolution of the alliance with the Yin Kingdom, and then the princess disappeared into Lin'an City, this is not the worst thing, your uncle, the young and vigorous Golden Horde Monarch Tiemuzun Handa Garsu controls the land north of the Northern Regions, but now he is facing the crisis of famine in the whole country, and he has no time to blame Chu Xiaohua for your affairs." As for the Xilin side, I have to say that our empress is really in love with you, although Xilin is contained by the Yin State and cannot form an army on a large scale, but some people have seen countless sword armor warriors passing through the clouds above the west, the number is more than tens of thousands, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border, maybe one day she will take revenge on Chu Xiaohua because of your affairs, or for her brother and father, in short, the future of the Northern Regions is now unclear,

As a former Xilin person, I would love to see the current situation of the Dayin Dynasty. ”

Chu Xianzhao fell silent.

"The allies of the Yin State are left in Shuyue in the west, and that little girl successfully ascended the throne of Shuyue with the help of you and Chu Xiaohua, but Hou Chu began to move, and there was the idea of encroaching on Shu Yue, Chu Xiaohua expected Hou Chu's restlessness, so now he has sent troops to Shu Yue Tiannan Road to establish a battle line, that is, to prepare for the war in the south, but also to conquer Hou Chu, there are so many things I know, you should tell me the real purpose of your coming to Nanlu. ”

"I understand what happened in the Northern Regions. Chu Xianzhao nodded, "In exchange, I can tell you that Emperor Qing has convened the princes of the six countries to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the Yin Kingdom, in fact, the six princes are not all loyal to Emperor Qing, some of them are likely to have the idea of rebellion, and the royal family also does not trust the princes, just for the army in their hands, and the mastermind behind all this is the princess of the Qing Kingdom, Queen Zhao......"

Jiang Tang interjected and asked: "You know a lot, but why do you know that the mastermind behind the scenes is Princess Qingguo?"

"I'm not alone on this side of the South Continent. "Chu Xianzhao didn't say anything about Lu Qi and the Shadow Moon Sect, "Qingguo's dragoon was fiercely restrained by the Iron Shura Legion, then the people of the Zhao royal family will inevitably gather all the strength of the Southern Continent, but I believe that no matter what kind of power the little emperor has in his hands, he will never be able to occupy an advantage in front of Chu Xianzhao." ”

"So you came to Nanlu to spy on the military strength of the Daqing Dynasty, your goal is the same as Chu Xiaohua's, they all hope to destroy this dynasty, it seems that you are not a traitor to the Yin Kingdom as everyone says, just a stupid child who is angry with his father. ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't know why she came to such a conclusion, pouted and said: "He and him have severed the father-son relationship, even if our goal is the same, but we will never reconcile in this life, as for you are just a chess piece in Chu Xiaohua's hands, just like me in the past, when you are a chess piece, you have to have the consciousness of being abandoned, like you who is willing to sail across the ocean for him to carry out orders and fight to the end, I really admire, have you forgotten that your homeland was destroyed by his own hands?"

Chu Xianzhao deliberately sarcastically mocked her, perhaps to arouse her hatred for Chu Xiaohua, but Jiang Tang still had a cold expression, and continued to give Chu Xianzhao an idea: "The son of a daughter doesn't sit in the hall, why do you want to risk yourself to do such a thing, you must know that spying on intelligence is one of the things that Crow Qiwei is best at, according to Chu Xiaohua's meaning, the slave family will assist you to complete some things that you feel necessary to do." ”

Chu Xianzhao looked at Jiang Tang's eyes and said softly: "What does Chu Xiaohua mean? This can't be your desire to indulge again, you want to win my trust and then lead me into the urn step by step, right?"

Jiang Tang said in a sincere tone: "Yes, after all, we Crow Qiwei people all want to go back to the Northern Regions, the premise is to bring you home, otherwise we."

Homeless. ”

Chu Xianzhao said: "Do you want me to feel guilty when you say such things? You are the people sent by Chu Xiaohua to arrest me back or spy on me, so I don't care about your life or death." ”

Jiang Tang said calmly: "We care about your life or death. ”

Chu Xianzhao was speechless for a while, feeling that he was a little too selfish, Jiang Tang's face was even colder than just now, "Don't do anything to kill yourself, this is not a request, but an order, please trust us." ”

Chu Xianzhao obviously didn't eat her set, and sneered: "Put away your rhetoric, I can't trust a person who met twice, and both times brought people to arrest me, trusting this kind of thing takes time to accumulate, you are just a stranger to me, even if you die in front of me now, I will not mourn for you for even a moment, because you are Chu Xiaohua's person." ”

Jiang Tang nodded indifferently and said bluntly: "Since this is the case, then I must make one thing clear, although we obey Chu Xiaohua's orders, he is the one who destroyed our homeland after all, and he is not only your enemy but also our enemy." And I am a Xilin, and all of the Raven Qiwei are Xilin, and we have a common enemy. ”

Chu Xianzhao asked suspiciously, "Why should I believe your words?"

Jiang Tang slowly approached him and said word by word: "If you want to be an enemy with Chu Xiaohua, you shouldn't go abroad in anger at all, as for the time to start anew, you don't have time to start a new stove at all, you should go to the enemy he wants to deal with the most at the beginning, if the slave family is you." ”

Chu Xianzhao shook his head and said, "Your thoughts are really crazy, do you know that the people of the Zhao clan want me to die, isn't this self-defeating?"

"They just want Chu Xianzhao, the son of Yinguo, to die, but you are no longer Chu Zhao, but Tang Huang, the illegitimate son of the whole city. Jiang Tang stretched out his slender finger and pointed at the door of his head, "You've already gained their favor, why don't you try to get more from them?"

Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but sigh and said, "The people of the Zhao family are all crazy, and it is difficult to test the mind of a madman. ”

"Crazy people are often very paranoid people, and at the same time they are people who want to prove themselves to the world. The two of them seemed to smell each other, the faint body fragrance on Jiang Tang's body always lingered at the bottom of Chu Xianzhao's nose, and the woman breathed like a land: "People who are paranoid and want to prove themselves need companions." ”

Chu Xianzhao glanced at her, and really didn't understand what this graceful beauty had gone through, and she had a gloomy and resolute heart now.

After an extremely long silence, Chu Xianzhao looked at her face and said, "If I don't tell Chu Xiaohua about my current situation, I can trust you." ”

Jiang Tang said: "This is a foreign country, what is more worthy of your trust than the old man?"

Chu Xianzhao slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Tang's hand unconsciously put it on his shoulder, relieving his fatigue and his voice was soft

Judo: "Don't worry, this is a little secret between the two of us, but I have to tell Chu Xiaohua that I have found your whereabouts, I will tell him that you are safe now and under our protection, but you are not in a good mood now, and you don't want to go back to Yinguo for the time being, this is for your good and for the good of my companions, otherwise he thinks that our Crow Qiwei is not in a good position, and will send even more terrible people to Nanlu to find you, and he may not be willing to negotiate conditions with you at that time." ”

A woman like her, who is as cold as ice, can easily arouse a man's soul when she is gentle, as if an iceberg is melting and warm water is rushing.

Chu Xianzhao deliberately ignored the beauty trick she had used on her, and said softly: "Yes, but you have to promise me one more condition, any creed sent to you from Yinguo, you must let me look at it, don't want to play double agent with me, if I find out that you betrayed me......"

"Will His Royal Highness the Prince kill me with his own hands?" she reached out and touched Chu Xianzhao's face, Chu Xuanzhao did not dodge, nor did he continue, his eyes quenched with a cold purple glow.

Jiang Tang took a deep look at this young man who was eight years younger than her, and did not make a gesture of a woman's affection, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Since His Royal Highness is not willing to make a decision for the time being, then the slave family will quietly wait for the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince, in addition to killing people, I will also do a lot of things, and it is okay to warm the bed." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "You think too much." ”

Jiang Tang swore and said: "Don't worry, although the Yin Kingdom, including Xilin, is his now, it will eventually fall into your hands, and someone is secretly helping you." ”

Chu instantaneously laughed and did not answer.

After Jiang Tang finished saying what he had to say, he left through the window, leaving Chu Xianzhao who was looking at the wall in a trance.
