Five days later, Chan'er came to Qu Hanyan's courtyard for the first time, and saw that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were colorful and full of vitality. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qu Hanyan walked out of the room, saw Chan'er standing in front of the flowers and plants, and immediately reminded him:

"The princess knows that the more colorful the life, the more likely it is to hurt people. ”

Chan'er heard the sound and turned sideways, as if she understood the meaning of Qu Hanyan's words, and then took a step back.

"These are all poisonous flowers and plants planted by Qu Mou in his spare time, but I am afraid that it will disturb the princess's interest. Qu Hanyan paused and said bluntly, "The princess moved to Qu's courtyard, I don't know what it is?"

"There is news, presumably the Qugu Lord has heard it. Chan'er didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

Qu Hanyan looked directly at Chan'er, smiled and said:

"The princess refers to ...... Do you have anything to do with me?"

"It's engagement. Chan'er corrected herself, and then said, "This is my gratitude to the valley master, are you still satisfied?"

"You're engaged to me...... Qu Hanyan raised his eyebrows, and said in a deliberately lengthened voice, "That is, the Lonely Kingdom Imperial Family and the Night Kingdom even Shibuya for a hundred years." ”

Chan'er didn't say anything, and raised her eyebrows in response. Qu Hanyan seemed to be in a good mood, and he showed an incomparably bright smile, and said happily:

The princess was really trustworthy, but Qu was disrespectful. ”

"I have shown my sincerity, should the Lord of Qu Gu also show it?" Chan'er looked at Qu Hanyan, wanting to see him in the bottom of his heart.

"What does the princess mean by this?" Qu Hanyan's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, although his expression was smiling, what he thought in his heart was not allowed to be explored by outsiders.

Chan'er saw that Qu Hanyan was like a drunken person who was going crazy to repay his debts, and put on this appearance that it had nothing to do with herself, and the depression in her mood for many days couldn't help but be like a flood bursting the embankment, and then she raised her tone and asked repeatedly:

"Since it was the valley lord who invited Chan Yuan to come here and put me in the whirlpool of forces that connect Shibuya and the outside, do I have the right to know why you asked me to come, what I can do, and what do you want to do?"

Only then did Qu Hanyan put away the smile on his face, and said:

"The princess is thoughtful and intelligent, has she been aware of the conflict between Shibuya and the outside world in a short period of time?"

"If it weren't for that, why would Shibuya lend me this external force. During this time, I have speculated many possibilities myself, but you are the only one who can explain to me your true purpose. ”

Qu Hanyan groaned for a while, and finally spoke:

"My goal is above the night kingdom court, and I have lived all my life to bring down Emperor Liu. ”

Chan'er looked at the ruthless light flashing in Qu Hanyan's eyes, only to feel that at this moment, her surroundings were full of murderous aura, and she couldn't help but shudder. The next moment, Qu Hanyan's gaze was fixed on Chan'er's face.

"Does the princess know who the emperor of the Night Kingdom was before Emperor Luo?" asked Qu Hanyan.

"The father of Emperor Luo is Emperor Tao. Chan'er replied.

"What about Emperor Tao?"

"The Lonely Country and the Night Country have never had anything to do with each other, and I really don't know what happened to Emperor Tao. ”

"It's not a matter of whether the two countries have interacted with each other, but someone has deliberately obliterated the past, but in just 30 years, few people know about it, and it's really sad. ”

"Do you have anything to do with the Night Kingdom Imperial Hall......

"My grandmother was the princess of the night kingdom before Emperor Tao ascended the throne, and my grandmother's father was the emperor above Emperor Tao. ”

"Emperor Tao's throne was usurped from your great-grandfather. Chan'er gradually understood Qu Hanyan's life experience and position.

"Not bad. My grandmother was my great-grandfather's only daughter, so my father, my great-grandfather's grandson, was the undisputed prince of the Night Kingdom. However, twenty-nine years ago, when my great-grandfather was critically ill, Emperor Tao, who was still in charge of Yin, led an army to cause a palace rebellion and killed my grandfather and grandmother. My father fled with my mother and me, who was only one year old, and later lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Because his great-grandfather had no children, Emperor Tao actually called the throne the result of his great-grandfather's concession, and became the new emperor in a grand manner, and killed all those who openly opposed it. Jiang Yanpei participated in the palace change that year and was an accomplice of Emperor Tao. You Huan looked at this coldly, taking advantage of the situation to defend one side, and he was also a betrayer. ”

"What about your parents...... What happened?"

"We lived in seclusion for 14 years, until one day when my mother fell ill, my father went to the city to buy medicine for my mother, and overheard that Meng Shangqing was convicted of having his house raided. Meng Shangqing is the father of the second brother, and he is also the father when he was young, and the two have a deep relationship, but Meng Shangqing was transferred out a few years before the palace change, and he did not have close contact with his father on the surface, so later Emperor Tao transferred him back to the night capital and did not kill him. Although Meng Shangqing did not hear from his father for 14 years, he still worked hard for his father, consolidating many courtiers who were loyal to his grandmother and father in the past, hoping that one day he could get rid of Emperor Tao and welcome his father back to the night capital. It's a pity that he mistrusted people once, and the assassination was learned by Emperor Tao, which made the family suffer. I followed my father into the night capital, and tried everything to save only the second brother, and accidentally showed his whereabouts.

Emperor Tao and Luo, father and son, stole the throne of the Qu family, but for more than ten years, they didn't know where their father was hiding, and they were already uneasy. With the passage of time, he is no longer the child who witnessed the palace changes back then, and the longer he is in the palace, the more he longs for the high imperial power, so the existence of the Qu family is slightly more difficult to accept than Emperor Tao. In the future seclusion, we only guarded against Emperor Tao's people, but we did not guard against cultivating our own forces, and gradually co-opted Jiang Yanpei and 'Liu' for our own use. Half a year later, the 'Liu' people found our seclusion, washed the valley in blood, and my father and mother died tragically. My second brother and I fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, stopped Yuehuai who had returned from entering the city halfway, and started a new escape. Fortunately, Yuehuai never showed up, and Taohuang and Luo didn't know that the Qu family had a second bloodline.

After escaping like this for half a year, we broke into the deep valley of Lingmiao Peak by chance, which is not only a wonderful hiding place, but also the backing of the condensation of strength to counterattack, and my second brother and I created a Shibuya here, and it took five years to establish a foothold, and endured for many years, and gradually we were able to compete with Emperor Tao and a little. When the four countries of Gu, Heng, Yi and Wei were fighting, it was a good opportunity for us to make a move, but after the death of Emperor Tao, he ascended the throne and his strength grew again, and we still could not shake his foundation. However, after years of internal and external efforts, today's Night Kingdom Dynasty is full of holes, and if you go head-to-head, you should have a five-point chance of winning. But I had to worry about the four countries to the west. ”

"You kept me in Renshibuya in order to exchange my freedom for the stability of Shikoku. ”

"I know that the princess has always cherished human life, but I can imagine that the river of blood is definitely not the scene you want to see. Only when the remaining four kingdoms are no longer at war can I narrow the scope of the impact to the territory of the Night Country and concentrate on subverting the thief of the Emperor Liu. ”

"After the scourge of war in the past two years, countries will not easily provoke wars. ”

"Has the princess ever heard the truth of using war to feed war? In the event of civil strife at night, as long as each country leads its army around the night country, the material wealth intercepted will be enough for rest and recuperation. Besides, as you said, the Night Country has not had close contact with the countries to the west for many years, so who would take care of the situation and let go of such an opportunity. ”

"If there are really enough attractive results to attract the four countries to send troops, how can Chan Yuan affect the overall situation alone? Could it be that for the monarchs of various countries, Chan Yuan is more important than the prosperity of a country. ”

"For the Wei Kingdom, the princess is naturally not important, but with the Nan Kingdom in the middle, it is difficult for the Wei Kingdom to touch the interests of the Night Country. And as the triple identity of Princess Chanyuan of the Lonely Country, Princess Kuichan of Hengguo, and niece of the Emperor of the Elder Kingdom, you have capital worthy of consideration by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms. Unless the three countries don't care about the safety of the princess and join forces to fight against the Night Kingdom, on the contrary, as long as one country puts the princess first, the cost and risk of the other two countries sending troops will increase significantly. The lonely country and the Nanguo country originally had a family relationship with the princess, coupled with the friendship between the forces of the rivers and lakes of various countries and the princess, no one wanted to be the first to hurt the princess, and sending troops to the night country became a thing that outweighed the loss. ”

Chan'er couldn't refute Qu Hanyan's thoughtfulness, and after a moment of silence, Chan'er only said:

"Even if you exclude the interference of the four countries in the west, my people with family and friendship will not move at most, but they will not help you increase your chances of victory. ”

"I know, that's enough. In a year's time, I still have a way to increase my odds by two points. ”

"Will it hurt innocent people?"

"The princess should really care about the world, and even the people of the night country also care. A warm color flashed imperceptibly in Qu Hanyan's eyes, and then said, "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light." Although I am avenging, I will not sacrifice my people, otherwise what is the meaning of my country. ”

At this moment, Chan'er suddenly remembered Xiuxi, and the thoughts of the two were quite similar. It is a blessing for a monarch to be able to put the well-being of his people first. What immediately flashed in Chan'er's mind was Xiuxi's advice:

"There is no marriage worthy of your sacrifice to compromise, the fate of the country and the glory of the king are not something that a mere woman can bear. Today is that I can't bear to do it to you, he has changed someone else, how should you deal with yourself, and how can I be embarrassed......? The only thing I can recognize is the twilight night. ”

Thinking of this, Chan'er suddenly stared at Qu Hanyan and bit her lower lip.

"Does the princess have any questions?" Qu Hanyan asked.

"I have one more condition. Chan'er said.

"The princess doesn't seem to have any bargaining chips to negotiate with me. ”

"Half of the people you rescued from Prince Gong's Mansion were at my request, and half for yourself. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and if you save them, it is equivalent to adding a block to Jiang Lingyin, isn't it?"

This time, Qu Hanyan really had a smile in his eyes, he stared at Chan'er for a moment, and said bluntly:

"What are your conditions?"

"My marriage contract with you must be in name only. ”

"What is the name and what is the truth?" Qu Hanyan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask.

"In front of people, I confess this family affair. But you...... I...... Do not sleep in the same room. Chan'er said with her eyes open, and there seemed to be a flush on her cheeks as she spoke.

"Good. Qu Hanyan nodded seriously, and said, "Then you remember that you have to respect and rely on me in front of people." ”

"It's a deal. ”

"Also, you have to take care of my face in this matter, and you can't tell others. ”

"Yes. ”

"Well, it's a deal. Qu Hanyan then high-fived Chan'er as an alliance.

When Tian Qianli returned to Lian Shibuya, the news of the engagement between the Lord of Lian Shibuya and Princess Chanyuan had spread throughout the five countries.

Before he left, the eldest brother had not returned to the valley, and in just half a month, the eldest brother had set up a marriage with her, so what was his affection for her?

When Tian Qianli first heard about this, he rushed back to Lingmiao Peak day and night, and the first thing he did after returning to the valley was to go to Chan'er's courtyard, and he had to confirm the news in person.

The moment he walked into the courtyard, Tian Qianli saw that Chan'er was not alone, beside Chan'er, Qu Hanyan was boiling water and cooking tea himself, and Chan'er peeled the fruit and fed it to his mouth at Qu Hanyan's request.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Tian Qianli still felt sad and painful although he didn't believe that Chan'er would empathize with Qu Hanyan from Zhan Dusk.

The karma between him and Chan'er is the secret that Tian Qianli has hidden in his heart for many years. The shock when she fell off the cliff, the doubts of Chanyuan County's master bedroom who had been ill for many years, and the amazement of Princess Chanyuan's glory step by step, Tian Qianli watched Chan'er from afar for seven years, and all the curiosity, attention and appreciation in the seven years unconsciously converged into a feeling of admiration, not to mention a little envy, jealousy and unwillingness to be troubled by Zhan Duxiao and Tuoba Yabu.

Although he has a deep relationship with Zhan Duxiao, Tian Qianli doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with competing with Zhan Duxiao, but competing with his eldest brother for his beloved is something Tian Qianli never thought of.

Since he was ignorant and fearless, robbed the rich and helped the poor for survival, stole the treasures and antiques in Jiang Yanpei's brother-in-law's house, and was chased and killed by Jiang Yanpei and "Liu", he met and intersected with Qu Hanyan, accepted his life-saving grace and invited Irigu to become the lord of the seven valleys of Shibuya.

Love and righteousness are in a dilemma, besides, Chan'er has no intention of Tian Qianli, Qu Hanyan is kind to Tian Qianli, Tian Qianli can't do anything, and he can't even show his heart to Chan'er, he is really full of depression and has nothing to dispel, so he can only hide back in the courtyard on the top of the cave peak, drink alone in the courtyard, send love strings, sing to the moon, and cry.

When Tian Qianli came to see Chan'er, Qu Hanyan was aware of it, and he deliberately guided Chan'er to get close to him, just to cut off Tian Qianli's thoughts about Chan'er.

Regarding Tian Qianli's "day and night harassment" of Chan'er, Qu Hanyan heard about it in Liancheng, whether Tian Qianli deliberately targeted it out of suspicion with Zhan Duxiao, or was sincere to Chan'er, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and entanglements in the future, Qu Hanyan could not let Tian Qianli indulge in this feeling.

But Qu Hanyan still underestimated the depth of Tian Qianli's affection.

After knowing how sad and depressed Tian Qianli was, Qu Hanyan only felt that he was also lonely in his heart, hurting his brother and hurting himself at the same time.

Unlike Qu Hanyan, Meng Ben, Qu Yuehuai, Yinyin, and Xian'er, Ning Yan, Yuan Qian, and Tian Qianli have no deep hatred with Emperor Luo and Jiang Yanpei. Yuan Qian empathized with Shibuya because of his friendship with Qu Yuehuai, and Ning Yan and Tian Qianli had a deeper and deeper bond with the people in Shibuya out of a heart of retribution.

Compared with the help he extended to Tian Qianli when he was in danger, Tian Qianli's kindness to help him in the years that followed was many times deeper. Tian Qianli's only two violations of the principle of medical treatment and rescue of people, once Qu Yuehuai was seriously injured by the people of Taiwumen, and once was now for the sake of Yinyin to save Yuan Han - both because of the affection of the people in Shibuya. And he was behind Tian Qianli, hindering his deep affection.

In order to numb the faint stinging pain in his heart, Qu Hanyan simply lay down in the wine cellar, picked up a jar of wine and poured it on his head, and soon a small jar of wine bottomed out. Qu Hanyan threw the wine jar aside, casually grabbed a wine jar two or three times larger, hugged the booze with both hands, and went down, as if he wanted to get drunk.

One altar is drunk, and the next altar is the next, and Qu Hanyan no longer has any thinking ability.

Years of hatred and forbearance, years of painstaking planning, years of licking blood from the knife edge, and years of tightened heartstrings, as if they were released on this night, Qu Hanyan's sense of physical and mental exhaustion suddenly spread throughout his body.

Just get drunk and wake up, just get drunk to death. This exclamation finally flashed through Qu Hanyan's mind.

Chan'er is trapped in Shibuya, and she still envies the free birds in the air, while Xue Feng and Yujie are trapped here, and many constraints are even more unbearable. During the day, Qu Hanyan mentioned to Chan'er that even the wine cellar in Shibuya was hidden, and Chan'er could come and go freely, so Chan'er groped for it that night, wanting to choose two good wines for Xue Feng and Yujie to relieve her loneliness.

The moment she opened the door of the wine cellar, Chan'er was really taken aback when she saw Qu Hanyan who was drunk and lying by the wall. In Chan'er's cognition, Qu Hanyan seems to have never relaxed her mind, and at this moment, Qu Hanyan has no power to resist, Chan'er even believes that as long as she wants to make a move, this person will not be a little defenseless.

Subsequently, Chan'er also seemed to understand that because this person had never let his body and mind really rest and relax, once he got drunk, he was completely drunk.

Chan'er frowned and looked around the cellar. During this season, it is already hot during the day, but it is quite cool at night due to the deep valley. After thinking about it, Chan'er's eyes were fixed on the tarpaulins covered by the tops of several wine jars, and then she walked over and folded the tarpaulin slightly in her arms, then walked in front of Qu Hanyan, squatted down, and gently draped the tarpaulin over Qu Hanyan's body.

When I looked sideways, I saw that there were three wine jars opened on Qu Hanyan's right hand. A small wine jar was dumped on the ground, a large wine jar could almost be seen at the bottom of the altar, and the nearest wine jar was also drunk by Qu Hanyan half of the jar.

Chan'er's gaze couldn't help but turn back to Qu Hanyan's face. This person...... Don't you want to die?

Out of a little worry about Qu Hanyan, Chan'er softened for a while and couldn't bear to ignore it, so she sat down by the wall on the other side and accompanied her silently.

Then Chan'er's mind suddenly came to mind a night similar to tonight, the snowy night spent with Zhan Dusk in the mountain stream canyon under the Zhongnan Ancient Road......

With the support of memories and longing, Chan'er's heart was instantly full of warmth, and in the middle of the night, she fell asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, when Qu Hanyan woke up, he suddenly felt a headache, and then realized that he had a hangover overnight. As soon as he wanted to get up, he suddenly noticed that he was wearing a tarpaulin in front of him, and subconsciously looked up, and Chan'er's dozing figure next to him unexpectedly broke into Qu Hanyan's eyes.

She didn't wake up from a hangover, and she didn't return all night.

Qu Hanyan looked at Chan'er quietly, and he lost his mind for a while, Xu is wine strength did not retreat, and he couldn't help but be poetic, and muttered:

"The turbid wine is sorrowful, and the night is not young. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists. ”

It turns out that this girl is really a beauty.

Facing Chan'er, who was full of warmth, Qu Hanyan, who was cold in her heart, suddenly longed for a fiery one.

At this time, Chan'er's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and seeing that Chan'er was about to wake up, Qu Han hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Chan'er opened her eyes and felt that there seemed to be a glimmer of light shining through the wine cellar, and the sky should be about to brighten. then looked at Qu Hanyan and saw that Qu Hanyan was still "sleeping".

Thinking that she hadn't returned overnight, letting Xue Feng and Yujie know that she must be very worried, Chan'er hurriedly stood up, patted the dust on her clothes, and was about to leave. As soon as he took a step, he remembered something, turned around and squatted down, looked at Qu Hanyan and whispered:

"You said I could come, so I won't be polite to you. Take two jars of wine from you. ”

Chan'er immediately hugged two small jars of wine nearby, first picked up one jar in her arms with her right hand, and stacked the wine jar in her left hand on top of it, and then stood up carefully.

Before going out, Chan'er thought about it, and then said to Qu Hanyan:

"I think I can understand the pain in your heart. You must be tired after holding up alone for so long. But I believe that after dawn the sun will always rise, and the shadows in the darkness will disappear......"

After Chan'er left, Qu Hanyan suddenly opened his eyes and stared thoughtfully at the door of the wine cellar.
