Chapter 357: Who Dumped Whom (1st Update)

"What's going on? Dragon Phoenix Villa has always been heavily guarded, and even a fly can't fly in, how can a good big living person disappear out of thin air? ”

Jin Xin was shocked when he heard the news of Zhang Yunxi's disappearance, and asked people to take care of the two children, so he hurried to Qiao Qiren, talking to Ziqin beside him while walking.

Ziqin frowned, also a little worried.

Soon the two arrived at the place, as soon as Zhang Yunxi entered, he saw Qiao Qiren sitting there with his body slightly sideways, half of his face was calm, and below, Zhang Yunxi's personal maid Luluo and a group of maids and guards were all standing there, bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes.

Jin Xin walked over and asked, "Owner, how is it?" Any clues? ”

Qiao Qiren turned his head to look at Jin Xin, was quiet, and then said: "At this juncture, there is no one else who can rob Xiao Xi from Longfeng Villa except that person." ”

Jin Xin's expression was slightly stunned, although Qiao Qiren did not name him, she immediately guessed who that person was.

It's Bai Qi.

The pothos raised her head and said reproachfully, "It's all my fault." The owner of the village has ordered me to stay by my wife's side every inch for the past few days, and if I hadn't been careless at the time and ran to the small kitchen, maybe ......"

Qiao Qiren frowned and didn't speak.

Ziqin comforted the pothos in a low voice: "Okay, pothos, with your ability, I'm afraid that even if you were there at the time, you wouldn't be able to change the current situation." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ziqin felt a chill coming from a certain direction, and as soon as her heart tightened, she saw Qiao Qiren's brows furrowed even tighter, and she hurriedly shut up.

Jin Xin looked at him and asked, "Then the owner, what are you going to do now?" ”

"At this moment, Xiao Xin is either hidden somewhere in Mingcheng, or on the way to Kyoto, I have already asked someone to check, there should be news soon, no matter what, as long as she can be snatched back before being brought into Kyoto, there will be no problem with the rest."

Qiao Qiren said in a deep voice, his tone was very calm, but there was still an anxious look in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Jin Xin was thoughtful: "Something like this, unless Bai Qi personally gives an order, they will never dare to act rashly." But didn't that assassin come the day before yesterday? Even if he sent the news back to Kyoto as soon as possible, it would be impossible for him to get the order so quickly to take Yunxi away, right? ”

Jin Xin muttered in confusion, his voice was not loud, but Qiao Qiren's face changed when he heard it, and he stood up from his position suddenly.

Jin Xin also realized something, and his face changed suddenly.

The two looked at each other.

"He's in Mingcheng!"

"Did he come in person?"

The two men cried out in unison.

I never thought that Bai Qi himself would find this possibility here.

Qiao Qiren pondered for a moment, and immediately turned his head and ordered: "Go, turn Mingcheng carefully for me!" Keep an eye out for deliberate outsiders! ”

"Yes! Owner! ”

Someone immediately went out.

After waiting for about a day, the people below replied.

"The owner, I've checked it all, and there is one person who is the most suspicious."

Qiao Qiren narrowed his eyes: "What person?" Let's talk about it. ”

"It's a noble son, Mingcheng, who only arrived a few days ago, lives in Yimingxuan. According to Yi Mingxuan's shopkeeper and the guy, his bearing is different from others, and he looks either rich or expensive. Even more suspicious is that this person checked out this morning. We searched the whole city of Mingcheng and did not find anyone, and later inquired many times to find out that as soon as the person left the room, he immediately went out of the city. ”

When Qiao Qiren heard this, his expression tensed, "Didn't the people who went down Kyoto to check catch up on anyone?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No. ”

"How could it not be!"

Jin Xin had been listening from the sidelines, and when he heard this, he interjected: "Maybe they didn't go back to Moon City right away, but were near Mingcheng?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You mean? ”

Jin Xin frowned slightly, and said: "Bai Qi is a smart person, he can think of anything you can think of." Moreover, he is not afraid of you in his heart, in his opinion, he does not need to run away after robbing someone. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Qiao Qiren pursed his lips and didn't speak, but his clenched fists still showed his anger at the moment.

Luluo said: "It's been a day, and Madam has fallen into the hands of that person, I don't know what's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Ziqin quietly pulled down the hand of the pothos and gave her a silent look.

The pothos was stunned, and although she didn't realize what she meant, she still obediently shut up.

Jin Xin glanced at the pothos, looked at Qiao Qiren's worried and gloomy face, and said, "The top priority is to increase efforts to find out the whereabouts of people first." ”

Qiao Qiren raised his eyes and glanced at Jin Xin, nodded silently, and said, "If you care, it's chaotic, I'm afraid that many issues are not very comprehensive now." Jin Xin, I'm afraid I want you to help me pay more attention to come up with ideas. ”

Jin Xin nodded: "It's natural." ”

In a closed room in a farmhouse outside the east gate of Mingcheng.

Zhang Yunxi had just woken up from his coma, and as far as he could see, all he saw was darkness, only a faint oil lamp flickering in the corner of the table.

My head was still a little dizzy, and I wanted to raise my hand to rub it, only to find that my hands were firmly tied behind me, frowning, struggling a few times, the knot was tied very strongly, and I couldn't break free at all.

Zhang Yunxi had to give up, sitting with his back against the wall behind him, a pair of eyes kept scanning the environment inside, too far away to see clearly, only to see that he was on a simple bed, covered with straw mats, and a square table at the end of the bed, and the oil light on the table was slightly warm in his heart.

She calmed down, trying to think about the ins and outs of the matter, she was obviously sleeping on the bed in her bedroom, how could she wake up in this place?

Someone must have done it!

At that moment, I thought of Hanbi Pavilion, this organization was founded by her at the beginning, when she left that year, Hanbi Pavilion had developed to a certain scale, and then fell into the hands of Bai Qi, although she did not contact Hanbi Pavilion again, but she also paid attention, and the organization that was emerging back then has long been extraordinary.

On that day, Xiaodao naturally had no way to take her away from Longfeng Villa alone, but if Hanbi Pavilion came forward, then it would not be difficult to take her away from Longfeng Villa quietly.

So, the question is, now that they got her out of the villa, is the next step to take her to Kyoto?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunxi calmed her mind, to be honest, she really didn't want to see Bai Qi again, not for anything else, but she felt that after so many years, she had already let go of him, and there was really no need to see him again.

Alas. Now I can only hope that Qiao Qiren can do his best to bring her back.

Just as I was thinking about it, the door creaked.

Zhang Yunxi looked in the direction of the door, and saw two people walking in outside one after another, one of whom was holding a night pearl in his hand, which instantly illuminated the night.

Zhang Yunxi, who woke up, couldn't stand the sudden bright light, couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and when the pupils finally adapted to the sense of light, she slowly reopened her eyes, she looked at the door, there were already a lot of people, and when she saw the noble and elegant man who walked in at the end, the whole person was stunned.

It seemed to be a long time before she found her voice: "Bai, Bai Qi......"

With a vague smile on his face, Bai Qi walked over slowly, stood still in front of the bed, bent down slightly, with an unfathomable look on his magnified handsome face, looked at her stunned face, and said elegantly word by word: "Long time no see." My dear Queen. ”

Zhang Yunxi seemed to be dumb again, his mouth opened and closed, and in the end, he couldn't pronounce a syllable.

"Let's all get out."

Bai Qi said a word to the few entourages behind him, and those people put down the Night Pearl and retreated obediently.

The door creaked and closed again.

Zhang Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Bai Qi so quietly, with a little stunned in his eyes, as if he had not recovered from the surprise of seeing him.

Bai Qi looked at her like that, reached out and touched her face, and asked with a smile, "What?" Didn't you expect me to be here? ”

When he was touched like that, Zhang Yunxi was like being scalded by boiling water, so he dodged his touch backwards, turned his head away, stopped looking at him, and his tone was a little cold: "Bai Qi, what do you mean by treating me like this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Bai Qi chewed her words carefully, the smile on his face was deeper, but with a little hidden anger, he squinted his eyes at Zhang Yunxi, and suddenly grabbed her shoulders, pressing her whole person on the bed, the bed board was very hard, and his strength was not small, Zhang Yunxi hit the bed board so hard, and her back hurt so much that she frowned.

Bai Qi saw her painful appearance, and the expression on his face softened, but he quickly changed to an angry look again, and said viciously: "Zhang Yunxi, you tell me personally, are those words said by Xiaodao true?" ”

Zhang Yunxi was still a little stunned, but after listening to his words, he slowly came back to his senses, and when he realized what Xiaodao said to him, he smiled: "Bai Qi, is it because you asked such a question that you took such a great effort to get me here?" ”

"Zhang Yunxi, don't care about him, you just sue me, is it true!" He pinched Zhang Yunxi's jaw hard.

"Yes! It's true! ”

Zhang Yunxi was so pinched by him that tears were about to fall out, but he still said loudly: "Xiaodao is right, I have been with Qiao Qiren for a long time, and the two of us are very affectionate and happy!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yunxi felt that the strength of her jaw was even stronger, and she even felt that her jaw was about to be crushed entirely.

The pain contorted her face, and tears kept pouring out.

Bai Qi had been pinching her hard, and his eyes, which had always been lazy and calm, were rarely dyed with anger and bloodthirsty.

Zhang Yunxi looked at him with half-open eyes, she knew that the man in front of her had never been as gentle and casual as he seemed on the outside, it was just the appearance of his disguise, just like back then, when the emperor was still alive, so many princes, all competing for merit and please, just to leave a good impression on the emperor, so that the emperor could see his excellent side, and he was the only one, who had never looked careless and lazy, every time the emperor threw something to him, he could always avoid it, and when he really took it, But he also pretended to be forced to be helpless, and when he did it, he always pretended to be crooked and lucky. However, in the end, it was such a leisurely prince who had no quarrel with the world, who was quick and ruthless at the last moment, and almost in the shortest possible time, he stepped down from the power of the crown prince Bai Youla, who was sure to win at that time, and he became the honor of the Ninety-Five.

How many people thought that he had picked up a big bargain after many princes fought for their heads and suffered casualties, but they didn't know that this was a whole game of chess that he had strategized.

Sitting in that position, how can it be possible not to get blood on your clothes?

Bloodthirsty is actually one of his true faces, isn't it?

Zhang Yunxi's eyes radiated a faint light in the night, he looked at Bai Qi so quietly, and sneered: "Bai Qi, if you have the ability, you will kill me!" ”

"You ......"

Although Bai Qi was in a rage, he also knew that if he continued, he would really crush her, but he didn't expect that this woman was still so stubborn, at this time, she didn't know how to beg him for mercy!

He was so angry, but he couldn't really destroy her, this is the woman he has stubbornly guarded for many years? Ruined her with your own hands? No matter how hard his heart is, he ...... How can you give it?

Thinking of this, he was a little depressed, so angry that he shook off his hand, Zhang Yunxi fell backwards due to inertia, and fell directly on the table on the side, the oil lamp was knocked over, and it was extinguished in an instant.

Fortunately, there is still that pearl of the night, and it doesn't matter whether an oil lamp is stored or not.

Zhang Yunxi gasped, and there was still a dense pain in her jaw, if it weren't for this pain, she would almost feel that this jaw was not her own.

She wanted to raise her hand to touch her chin, but her hand was tied and she couldn't move.

Bai Qi was still standing there, his blood-red eyes staring at her deadly: "Zhang Yunxi, do you know how many years I have been looking for you?" ”

Zhang Yunxi was stunned.

How many years has he been looking for her, she naturally knows, otherwise, so many years of cat and mouse games are not in vain?

It's just that she had deliberately left him a message a long time ago to make him give up looking. Who knows, this man is really so persistent, as if he can't find her and won't give up, so many years have passed, and he is still persevering in looking for it.

She also knew that he cared about her really deeply.

If she had known his intentions at the beginning, she would have been so happy that she would have had a few days and nights, and she would only be moved to a mess, and she would only love him even more so much that she couldn't extricate herself. However, by now, YiqiΔ“ has long been a person, even if he knows his feelings, although he is moved, but when it comes to love, it is really not at all.

Savor it, and only sadness remains.

Zhang Yunxi turned her head and looked at the man's unwilling and angry expression, but he couldn't hide the injured expression he revealed, and there were a lot of feelings intertwined in his heart, and in the end, she could only sigh helplessly, and her voice was very soft: "Bai Qi, we ended a long time ago." You and I are well aware. ”

"When did it end, why don't I remember?"

Bai Qi seemed to laugh, a bitter smile.

Zhang Yunxi raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Didn't we even sign the resignation book?" ”

When Hu Lishu said the three words, Bai Qi's whole body was shocked.

If she hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Back then, Zhang Yunxi's sister Zhang Yunyun was defiled by Bai Jun, and finally committed suicide with hatred. Zhang Yunxi has always loved that sister, and he couldn't bear that kind of ending, forcing him to severely punish Bai Jun, and even ask Bai Jun to pay for his life. But due to some unavoidable reasons, he couldn't do what she wanted, and even spared Bai Jun.

His action made Yu Zijing, who was Zhang Yunyun's fiancΓ© at the time, very dissatisfied, and would rather give up his personal relationship with the two of them and openly argue with him, and Zhang Yunxi was also furious, and directly threw out a letter of resignation and threatened him: "If you have to let Bai Jun go, you can also sign this letter of resignation!" ”

He was in a dilemma at the time, and repeatedly dissuaded Zhang Yunxi, but it couldn't be used, and the reality forced him to follow her, so he had no choice but to sign the letter of resignation.

In this way, he ignored Zhang Yunxi and Yu Zijing's obstruction, and forcefully let Bai Jun go.

And Zhang Yunxi was angry, but he really didn't interfere with her decision.

For several days after that, Zhang Yunxi was very quiet, but he treated him very coldly. He tried every means to persuade and obey, thinking that she was just angry, and the relationship between the two was so deep that he would definitely not really break up with him.

As it turned out, he was too confident.

She suddenly softened her attitude towards him, which made him wonder if she had forgiven herself. Unexpectedly, just when he relaxed his vigilance, she left the palace, and that time for many years, he searched for a lot, but he didn't find his whereabouts. And so it went on, and so on.

And now, I finally saw the person I thought about for a long time, but the result was that she had been with other men for a long time, and she was very loving and happy?

Bai Qi's heart was on fire, how could he accept this?

"Yunxi, don't tell me about that letter of resignation, from the beginning, I didn't take it seriously. I signed it because I thought you were angry. ”

Zhang Yunxi sneered: "I don't care what you think, if you sign it, you sign it, in my opinion, it is proof of the break between you and me." ”

"Yunxi, you should know, I don't admit it, it's just a piece of waste paper."

"So what?" Zhang Yunxi raised his eyebrows: "What I do, I have always been worthy of myself, and I don't need your admission." ”

"Zhang Yunxi!"

Bai Qi finally couldn't hold back any longer, suddenly raised his voice, bullied, and stretched out his hand to drag Zhang Yunxi directly in front of him: "For so many years, it's okay if you hide from me and stay by other men's side, I don't have to worry about you, but do you really plan to get rid of me now?" ”

Zhang Yunxi felt that his accusation was simply vexatious, and she said angrily: "Bai Qi, don't forget, you got rid of me first!" I don't care what you think of that letter of resignation, but in my opinion, the moment you sign the letter of resignation, you are equivalent to having dumped me, and my love for you is completely dead at that time! ”

Bai Qi's body shook suddenly, and the whole person froze there for a long time, unable to speak.

In my heart, there was a sharp pain spreading, making people flustered and helpless, and I couldn't stop the pain.

He suddenly remembered that day, when he signed the book of resignation, her expression was as white as paper, as if she had been greatly stimulated, and her originally red lips had lost their color.

He never thought about the situation again, and if he wanted to, he couldn't remember it, he just didn't remember it. I didn't expect it to appear so clearly in front of me on this night.

In a trance, I realized that maybe it wasn't that he forgot and couldn't remember, but that he instinctively refused to recall and deliberately forgot that scene.

He was afraid to recall her expression, because, when he really remembered it, he would hate himself at that time, how could he hurt her heart like that!

Like now.

He was even thinking, perhaps, he didn't dare to think about that scene after losing her all these years, maybe it was because he was also subconsciously afraid, afraid that he would hurt her heart like that, for many years, maybe she had already given up on herself, and even chose someone else.

And he has always been reluctant to admit it, afraid to admit that possibility.

Unfortunately, what I feared the most became a reality.

Bai Qi looked down at Zhang Yunxi, this woman, after so many years, is already twenty years old, but, looking at it, it seems to be a lot more tender than in the past, and there are no traces of age seen on her body at all, except for the unique charm that has precipitated, which makes people excited.

Bai Qi suddenly thought of a question: "Zhang Yunxi, is your body still mine?" ”

Zhang Yunxi didn't expect him to ask such a question, his expression froze, and then he smiled: "Bai Qi, don't you want to touch me?" ”

He raised an eyebrow: "What, no?" ”

"Are you sure you want to touch a married woman? Even if you are the emperor today, you can do whatever you want, but isn't your cleanliness very strict? In the past, when other men just accidentally wiped the corners of my clothes, you could be so angry that you would immediately drag me back to my room, force me to change my clothes, and tear those clothes to shreds, and warn me through gritted teeth that I should not let anyone touch me, because I felt dirty. What, now it's gone? ”

Zhang Yunxi's words undoubtedly indirectly show that she and Qiao Qiren have long been husband and wife.

Bai Qi was so smart, he immediately heard the key, and he was furious: "Zhang Yunxi, you ......"

Zhang Yunxi raised his head fearlessly: "Bai Qi, let go of me!" ”

"How dare you really ......"

Bai Qi was annoyed, and the words behind him were not spoken, his eyes that were about to breathe fire stared at her, and he suddenly used force to detain Zhang Yunxi again and suppress her.

Zhang Yunxi was taken aback and wanted to struggle, but Bai Qi quickly clicked on her acupoint, making her unable to move.

His hand wandered on her body, rubbing it for a while, and then went around behind her, and then, the shackles of her hands were untied, but, because she was pointed at the acupuncture points, she couldn't move at all, her arrogance suddenly disappeared, and she looked at Bai Qi's face in panic and vigilance: "Bai Qi, what are you doing, don't move me!" ”

Bai Qi's deep eyes looked at her and said, "Since you are disobedient and let other men touch you, then, I think I have the obligation to clean your body again." ...... with my body"

As he spoke, his fingers were lightly picked, and he had already picked open Zhang Yunxi's placket.

The coolness instantly drilled in.

Zhang Yunxi snorted and shouted, "Bai Qi, what are you doing!" You're a psycho! You let go of me, don't touch me! I ......"

She looked resistant and excited, and there was even more disgust in her eyes that was difficult to hide.

Bai Qi looked at it, and his heart was very unhappy.

This woman used to be so passionate about him, but now? Resisting his touch like this?

She really dared to give up on him!

couldn't bear it anymore and ripped off her dress directly.

"Bastard!"

Zhang Yunxi scolded angrily, and tears were about to fall from his eyes.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the closed door was kicked open from the outside.

A person broke in from the black, Bai Qi quickly turned around, and saw the cold light and cold sword attacking him.

His expression narrowed slightly, and he planned to pick up Zhang Yunxi and dodge it, but the person who came seemed to realize his move, immediately stopped his movements, and shouted: "Don't move her!" ”

Zhang Yunxi was lying on the bed, on the one hand, she was glad that someone had interrupted Bai Qi, but on the other hand, she was very embarrassed about her current appearance, and at this time, she could hear the voice of the person, and only joy remained, she hurriedly shouted: "Qiren, is it you!" ”

Her words of surprise made Bai Qi's breath stagnate, and the sound of joy that he relied on made his heart ache slightly, and he froze there for a while.

Qiao Qiren saw the opportunity, quickly made a move, jumped over, and went directly around him to the bedside, raising his sword in his hand, Bai Qi quickly came back to his senses and retreated.

When he looked up again, Qiao Qiren had already unlocked Zhang Yunxi's acupuncture points and hugged her tightly.

Bai Qi stood there, quietly watching the unclothed Zhang Yunxi snuggled in Qiao Qiren's arms, with tears in the corners of his eyes, such a dependent look made him feel a fire in his heart, but in addition to the nest fire, there was more sharp pain.

Once upon a time, he was the one who had to be treated like that by her. And now, the one who creates opportunities for other men has become him!

His hands were secretly clenched into fists and clenched.

Qiao Qiren just glanced at him coldly, that look was not like looking at an emperor, but more like looking at an enemy, and even had an undisguised killing intent.

However, he didn't do anything in the end, but withdrew his gaze, put down the sword in his hand, took off his wide robe, and completely wrapped Zhang Yunxi's entire body and tightened it.

Zhang Yunxi let him move, raised the back of his hand and wiped his tears silently, looking very obedient.

After getting it done for Zhang Yunxi, Qiao Qiren raised his head again, looked at her, and smiled softly with his eyebrows: "Xiaoxi, don't be afraid." I'm here. ”

Hearing this, it was as if the rain had passed and the sky was clear, and all the grievances in Zhang Yunxi's heart seemed to have disappeared, and he burst into tears and smiled, nodding heavily: "Hmm!" ”

Qiao Qiren gently touched her head and said, "It's not too early, let's go home." ”

Zhang Yunxi nodded again.

Seven thousand words. There is one more more.
