Chapter 25: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
After late at night, at dawn, when Chan'er woke up, the sky was still not bright. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info opened her eyes, Chan'er recalled, and suddenly remembered what happened in Qu Han's courtyard the night before.
Although Chan'er's body was weak, she was able to sit up supportively, and at this moment, she suddenly noticed something wrong with her body, and a trace of panic flashed in her heart. With a little uncertainty, Chan'er tried to swim in her body with internal force, and it didn't take much effort to accumulate her true qi in her hands.
Chan'er looked at her hands, knowing that everything was irreparable, and it was almost dark in front of her. After a while, I realized that the night had passed, and I didn't know how the situation had evolved, and whether everyone was safe or not. Thinking of this, Chan'er bit her lower lip and got up to the ground.
Walking out of the door, I saw Shen Xiao and Long Youru kneeling and standing in the courtyard. When Long Youqian saw Chan'er, he stepped forward and stopped talking, and then knelt down silently. Shen Xiao lowered her gaze from beginning to end and knelt silently.
Chan'er looked at the two people in front of her, and instantly had an answer in her heart.
It's Shen Xiao.
Before I could think about it, my first reaction was tears rolling down my cheeks. Although it was known that he was there to save her. But why is my heart so sad?
That snowy and moonlit night in the mountain stream seemed to have become a vain dream. The dream is vague, and the figure is mottled.
Something has collapsed.
It's just that there is another vision in my mind.
The figure of a under the moon. A man who follows who jumps off a cliff. This is a desperate Saburo who cares about who is more important than his own life.
This person's silent dedication all the time will make her heart have a hint of sweetness in the bitterness and a hint of warmth in the coldness.
Some.
What's more, he didn't finish his words and speak clearly.
Then what can you be angry about, what can you resent about.
But after all, you can't treat it as if it didn't happen. Scene after scene freezes, regresses until it cracks into pieces, and can no longer be patched together.
Chan'er's stunned work in place can be described as extremely difficult for Shen Xiao, as if the sun, moon and stars have been reversed, and the seasons have been reincarnated. I don't know how long it took to see in the afterglow, Chan'er suddenly took two steps forward.
When walking past Long Youzhuan's side, Chan'er stood still for a moment, suddenly pulled out Long Youchuang's sword, and when he didn't have time to react, he took another step towards Shen Xiao, and at the same time stepped forward with the sword in his right hand, and the tip of the sword pierced Shen Xiao's left shoulder, almost penetrating his body.
"Princess!" Long Youqian turned around and shouted nervously.
And Shen Xiao only snorted, steadied herself and took the sword, without the slightest retreat. Seeing this, Chan'er's hand holding the sword shook imperceptibly, and then she grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled the sword body out.
"Third Brother ......" Long Youxuan took two steps towards Shen Xiao's knees, and saw blood gushing out of Shen Xiao's left shoulder, and immediately wanted to seal Shen Xiao's acupoint, but was stopped by Shen Xiao stretching out his right hand.
Shen Xiao immediately raised her gaze and looked at Chan'er, but at this moment Chan'er turned her back, and the eyes of the two were just staggered. Shen Xiao didn't see Chan'er's tears in her eyes because of this.
"Shen Xiao hurt the princess, please bear all the blame, just ask the princess not to be sad and hurt her body." Shen Xiao was injured under Chan'er's sword, only to feel that her grief was greater than her heart was dead, but she had no regrets. The heartache was so terrible, the physical pain, almost numb, I couldn't feel it.
Long You was reluctant but cautious, so he had to turn around and say to Chan'er:
The princess was angry. The third brother's old injuries have not healed, and he can't afford to add new injuries. I implore the princess to agree to let the crippled heal the third brother. After that, the princess will punish him, and he will punish the crippled. ”
Chan'er immediately let go of her hand, and the long sword fell to the ground, and then said in a very soft but firm voice:
"You take the sword and escort him back to the Marquis of Leqi's mansion, without my order, the two of you are not allowed to leave half a step."
"Even Shibuya's situation in the Night Country is unknown, the lord of Qugu is a dangerous person, and the princess needs someone to protect her."
"I don't need anyone who is an asserter, you disappear from here in no time."
"Princess ......"
"If you don't want him to bleed too much, just leave." Chan'er said coldly.
"I can't go......" Shen Xiao was excited, and pulled the wound, the old wound was stacked with new wounds, and the body was already completely weak, and the right hand was supported on the ground for a while, so as to avoid falling to the ground due to weakness.
Long Youyan hurriedly made a move, and successively tapped several acupoints around Shen Xiao's left shoulder, curbing his blood loss.
"The princess is alone here, at least one of us is left?" The dragon said again.
"I have my own measure, and you are my burden. If you don't want to make me angry again, do what you are told. Chan'er was dizzy for a while, and said almost in a breath.
Long Youyan didn't dare to disobey anymore, so he picked up the sword on the ground and helped Shen Xiao to stand up. Shen Xiao still insisted on refusing to leave, but her body no longer obeyed.
"Let's go!" Chan'er urged again.
"Take care, princess." Long Youxuan could only respond, and then half-supported and half-dragged Shen Xiao away.
After the two walked away, Chan'er turned around slowly and said in her heart:
Forgive me for stabbing me so that you don't have the strength to hold on. If you stay, once Qu Hanyan knows about this night, he will definitely take action against you. Just like you want me to live, even if I don't want to see you again in this life, I want you to live a good life in the world......
After exhausting all night, Chan'er couldn't hold on for a moment, and as soon as her body was weak, she was about to faint and collapse. At the moment before Chan'er's body touched the ground, Tian Qianli suddenly appeared, caught Chan'er and protected her in his arms.
As soon as Tian Qianli returned to Shibuya in the early morning, he noticed that there was chaos in many places in the valley, and he had not seen Qu Hanyan and others, so he looked for Chan'er everywhere, and it was very surprising to see Chan'er appear in his courtyard, and the subsequent occurrence of this scene was very surprising.
Tian Qianli didn't know why Chan'er was so weak, so he immediately raised his hand to take the pulse, and at this moment, Chan'er's pulse shocked him on the spot.
Chan'er actually fell into the "Gentle Township".
"Gentle Township" is almost only in Shibuya's mystery (separator) medicine, has an aphrodisiac effect, this medicine can not be solved, but it will not be fatal, such as an hour does not dissipate the medicinal properties, in the fan (separator) medicine is equivalent to martial arts is abolished, although the skill is not reduced, but a little reckless internal force, it will hurt the muscles and veins, and the heavy is life-threatening.
However, the effect of the medicine in Chan'er's body is no longer obvious, that is, someone has solved the medicine for her.
Lenovo just saw the scene, the antidote is Shen Xiao!
So the person who drugged Chan'er...... Who is it?
"Lord of the Seven Grains." After a period of dizziness, Chan'er consciously withdrew her hand and said softly.
Tian Qian suddenly came back to his senses and helped Chan'er to stand up.
"Your body ......" Tian Qianli paused, or asked sideways, "What happened last night?" ”
"The lord of Qugu wants to do rude things, and Chanyuan's innocence is almost guaranteed." Chan'er concealed something related to Shen Xiao and said roughly.
"You mean...... Big brother has drugged you with a separator? Tian Qianli's heart suddenly shook.
Chan'er nodded and said:
"It happened suddenly, my brother was led away in advance, and at the critical moment, I relied on two friends to rescue me, but I don't know how they are now."
"Big brother turned out to be ...... Intentionally harming you. Tian Qianli couldn't accept it for a while, and muttered to himself.
"I saw that his expression was different from before...... Chan'er said as she recalled, "and it seemed quite violent." So I'm worried about my big brother and two friends. ”
"Does your expression reveal a violent aura......" Tian Qianli pondered, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xue Indigo shouldn't matter, when I came back, I heard that he was just restrained and locked up by Bai Chun's three people. But who are your friends? ”
"Yes...... Friends I made in Yi Guo in the past. ”
"Yi Guo?" Tian Qianli's expression moved slightly, and his mood was slightly complicated, "Lonely, Yi is an enemy all year round, I didn't expect you to make friends in Yi Country." ”
"It's really surprising, and I'm so grateful that they're here because of me. Can you please accompany me back to the Qugu Lord? I can't ignore them. ”
"I'm also going to meet with my eldest brother to make sure of something." Tian Qianli nodded and said.
"Then let's go." Chan'er said, step ahead.
Between the eldest brother and herself, Chan'er chose to trust herself, which made Tian Qianli feel a little moved in her heart.
"You don't have a relationship with your big brother, do you?" Tian Qianli said suddenly.
Chan'er stopped when she heard this, turned around and looked at Tian Qianli:
"After last night, that's the definite answer."
"But big brother...... I won't let you go easily. ”
"He made a covenant with me, but he didn't really believe in me."
"People who have been betrayed are insecure. But I have an idea so he doesn't have to bother with you. ”
"What?"
Tian Qianli's gaze immediately shifted to the bell on Chan'er's left ankle, and substituted his answer for answering.
~~~
After the first half of the night's fighting, Xiuxi and Chen were defeated by Qu Hanyan and Meng Ben after all, and were wounded and captured. Qu Hanyan regained his senses, and there was a faint feeling of guilt in his heart, but he did not send anyone to trace Chan'er's whereabouts, but only stood silently in the courtyard, waiting for Chan'er to appear again.
Hearing the sound of footsteps at the door of the courtyard, accompanied by the crisp sound of bells, Qu Hanyan's heart shook slightly, turned his head sideways, and Chan'er's figure appeared in front of him. And with Chan'er, there is also Tian Qianli.
Qu Hanyan's gaze stayed on Chan'er's left ankle for a moment, and he understood a little in his heart, and silently said in a low voice:
"Qu was rude last night."
Before Chan'er could answer, Tian Qianli opened her mouth first and said:
"Big brother used that medicine to induce internal force, didn't he?"
Qu Hanyan glanced at Tian Qianli and nodded slowly.
"I know you're anxious, but the medicine is risky and you can't control it at will." Tian Qianli looked slightly annoyed and said.
"I was too careless to listen to your admonition. I'm sorry. Qu Hanyan personally tried the effects of the medicine and experienced a situation that was almost mad, and only then did he give up this hope in his heart.
"I will destroy that field of flowers, so as not to harm others again." Tian Qianli said in a solemn voice.
"Okay." Qu Han responded and subconsciously looked at Chan'er.
"As you can see, you're satisfied." Chan'er said softly, as if she had lost her soul in her voice.
"I didn't mean to...... But that's really my responsibility. Qu Hanyan frowned, and said in a rare softened voice, "Qu was fascinated by a certain time, and he offended the princess a lot, please forgive me." ”
"What the Lord of Qugu has done has shattered the already shaky trust between me and you, and I don't think there's any need for me to stay. Shen Xiao and the others have returned to the lonely country, ready to take me back to the palace. ”
Qu assured that there could be no second time for something like this. As long as the princess can dissipate her anger, I can promise you any conditions, but you can't leave Renshibuya. As soon as Qu Hanyan said this, Chan'er and Tian Qianli's hearts were relieved, and sure enough, they thought the same as Tian Qianli.
On the one hand, Chan'er is "unable to use internal force", and the matter of wanting to leave the valley will not be repeated, and her freedom is in the hands of Qu Hanyan. On the other hand, when Shen Xiao and Long Youxuan left, there was no threat to Qu Hanyan's rear stability. In this case, of course, Qu Hanyan couldn't allow Chan'er to give up his promise - he still had chips in Chan'er's hand that Chan'er had to take care of.
Hearing this, Chan'er thought for a moment and said:
"I need to meet my eldest brother and my friends before I can talk to you about the next conditions."
"Yes." Qu Hanyan nodded, and then sent an order to inform Meng Ben.
Not long after, Xue Feng, Xiuxi and Chen, who were restrained in the acupuncture path, were brought over by Meng Ben and Bai Chun. Chan'er immediately stepped forward.
"Girl!" Xue Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chan'er move a little, and the bell on her ankle jingled.
Chan'er was inconvenient to explain, so she only shook her head at Xue Feng and signaled him not to worry.
"Are you alright?" Xiu Xi also said with a concerned expression.
"I'm glad you're here, I don't care." Chan'er smiled at Xiuxi, and looked back and forth at Xiuxi and Chen, "You are injured." ”
"I used to be idle, but now I hate myself for not being good at learning." Xiuxi pretended to be relaxed and said a little jokingly.
"Since I promised you, how can I break my promise." Chen then said, although his expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, his words revealed a little warmth.
Tian Qianli watched Chan'er and the two of them talk from afar, and looked at Xiuxi for a moment, only to feel that they had met, but the memory was very vague and long, and he couldn't really think about it for a while. Then Chan'er spoke again, suddenly interrupting his thoughts.
"How about the three chapters of our covenant?" Chan'er turned around and said to Qu Hanyan.
"Princess, please speak." Qu Hanyan smiled and said.
"You promised in front of everyone that what happened last night would not happen again, and that you would let my friend leave Renshibuya, and that your people would never be able to do anything to my brother in the future, so I will act as if yesterday's incident had not happened."
"You don't have to be wronged by us." When Xiuxi heard this, he took the lead.
Qu Hanyan ignored Xiuxi, only looked at Chan'er and said:
"I won't be rude to the princess again, and I can let the two of them go, if Xue Indigo doesn't interfere with my affairs, even Shibuya will treat him like a guest. I swear in the name of the composer that the princess will not doubt my sincerity. ”
"Well, today's appointment is done." Chan'er nodded.
"What about the name of the composer? I don't believe in this person. Xiuxi said again.
"Although the lord of Qugu has a perverse temperament, he has always valued his family, and this promise is credible." Chan'er looked at Xiuxi and said.
Chen looked at Chan'er, had something to say and had some scruples, and didn't speak. Seeing this, Chan'er said:
"I can take care of myself, don't worry. I'll give you a paragraph. ”
After Chan'er finished speaking, she looked at Qu Hanyan again. Qu Hanyan waved his hand casually, signaling Chan'er to do whatever she wanted. Chan'er nodded to Tian Qianli, said hello, and walked away with Xue Feng and the others.
After a few people left, Qu Hanyan turned his head to Tian Qianli and said:
"Seventh brother, you have seen the pulse of the princess."
"She's badly injured this time." Tian Qianli said with far-reaching eyes.
"Her status in the valley is higher than mine, I hurt her, you, Sixth Sister and Yuehuai have to settle accounts with me." Qu Hanyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This time it was an accident, I don't have any extra thoughts about her at the moment." ”
"And what about after that?" Tian Qianli asked.
"I have to have her accompany me in and out of Liancheng, so we naturally have to get along well." Qu Hanyan deliberately misinterpreted Tian Qianli's "later" and replied.
He didn't understand what Tian Qianli was worried about, but Princess Chanyuan's usefulness didn't stop there. If Qu Yuehuai and Tian Qianli knew Qu Hanyan's intentions, things would definitely become tricky, so Qu Hanyan would not deal with it head-on.
Chan'er and Xue Feng sent Xiuxi and Chen a few miles away, and the surrounding sight suddenly widened, and Chan'er said:
"Even the people in Shibuya can't keep up with it, so it's inconvenient to say it, but it shouldn't hurt now."
"They treat you like this, why do you insist on staying?" Xiuxi couldn't help but say.
"If my guess is correct, it has something to do with the true identity of the Qugu Lord, right?" Chen said.
"What real identity?" Xue Feng still didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't help asking.
"You know." Chan'er felt this way when she saw Chen's eyes in Qu Han's courtyard, so she said.
Chan'er's words were equivalent to confirming Chen's conjecture, and Chen and Xiuxi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Actually, I haven't told my eldest brother about this. After Qu Hanyan was originally the royal family of the Night Kingdom, the throne of the Night Kingdom was usurped by Emperor Tao and Emperor Luo, and in order to concentrate on dealing with Emperor Luo, Qu Hanyan needed me to help him block the troubles of the four kingdoms in the west. Chan'er then explained to Xue Feng.
When Xue Feng heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. Chen was also a little surprised, and said:
"I just said that he was the royal blood of the Night Kingdom, but I never thought that he really had the heart to subvert the current imperial power."
"You will know the past of the Qu family because of your blood relationship with the second prince of the Night Kingdom, right?" Chan'er was relieved and said, "I haven't thanked the two highnesses for sacrificing their lives to save me." ”
"You know a lot about me, too." Chen snorted with a smile, and said, "It is precisely because I impersonated the identity of Nanying's cousin when I was in the royal court that I read the documents of the Night Kingdom in the library and accidentally read the records of the Qu family. ”
"His Royal Highness abandons the throne like a shoe, and he is so open-minded, it is indeed the same as Prince Xiuxi."
"Since you know how much favor we have taken to save you, you have to take care of yourself and repay us, understand?" Chen said, glancing at Xiuxi.
"Two enemy princes rescued a princess, which can be regarded as a legend through the ages." Xiuxi smiled inexplicably and said, "It's really fast to have such a divine relationship!" ”
"Yes, aside from your old positions, you are my true friends." Chan'er was warm in her heart, and she couldn't help but be a little sensational.
"Who said back then, didn't you have to do it and didn't want to see me?" Chen looked disgusted and teased.
"Master Chen has a lot, don't be like a little girl."
Chan'er bowed to Chen in a decent manner, which provoked Chen to dodge aside:
"We're just two wandering people, and we can't afford the princess's gift."
"Do you live with your family now?" Chan'er stopped teasing Chen, and turned to look at Xiuxi.
"Well, me, Xiuxuan, Chen, and my aunt." Xiuxi said.
"It's so warm."
"Later...... If you want to come and see us, you are always welcome. ”
"Just find any bank, right?"
"It's not that easy." Chen said as he took out the bright red wrench and handed it to Chan'er, "Oh." ”
"What is this for?" Chan'er subconsciously took it and asked.
"Don't do it again next time, the one hundred taels of silver you should be worthless than one-tenth of the value of this wrench."
"Show this to any of the bankhouses, and we will know that you are here, and we will set up a banquet to welcome you." Xiuxi took over and said.
"I'll cherish this wrench, for sure." Chan'er said seriously.
"Alright, let's send it here." Xiuxi said again, "Let Lian Shibuya solve the affairs of the Night Country by himself, and you don't get too involved." ”
"Okay."
"This stupid woman will ask you." Chen then said to Xue Feng.
"Well, thank you." Xue Feng knew very well the friendship between the two of them for Chan'er, so he didn't care about Chen's words.
"There will be a date later." Chan'er then said.
Chen thought that Chan'er was echoing her sentence back then, "There will be no time in the future", and couldn't help but smile and glanced at Chan'er, and then waved goodbye. Xiuxi stretched out her hand and patted Chan'er's shoulder, then said goodbye to the two and turned to walk away.
"Why does your bell keep ringing?" Xue Feng had a chance to ask.
"When I met Qu Hanyan last night, I was hit by a drug, and only by making him think that I could no longer gather internal strength, could he relax and not use other methods to tempt." Chan'er said simply.
"Is that all? There are many other things that you are responsible for alone. Xue Feng frowned, not worrying.
"The affairs of the Qu family are very important, and I am worried that if I tell my eldest brother, Qu Hanyan will be jealous."
"I wanted to protect you, but I dragged you to others because of this."
"Big brother has protected me many times, let's take care of each other, and we will definitely save the day."
However, the next time Qu Hanyan invited Chan'er to go to Liancheng, Xue Feng still couldn't go along.
