Chapter Ninety-Five: The Chain of Tricks is Meticulous
Qin Xingyi led the convoy overnight and returned to the temporary camp set up yesterday.
The makeshift camp was heavily guarded, with more than a dozen of Zephyr's men patrolling the perimeter of the camp with torches held high to prevent wolves and uninvited guests from breaking in.
"Senior brother, let everyone get off the horse and rest, and wait until dawn to set off." Qin Xingyi ordered.
"Yes." Bai Yinfan got the order and hurriedly went to arrange the relevant matters.
Qin Xingyi got off the horse, walked to the back of the carriage, and ordered: "People inside, open the curtain." β
The two subordinates sitting in the carriage hurriedly lifted the curtains one left and one right, and asked Qin Xingyi to get on the train.
"Is he awake?" Qin Xingyi raised her eyes to observe Xuanyuan Mingyu's complexion, and raised her legs to board the carriage.
Without waiting for the two subordinates to answer, Xuanyuan Mingyu's eyes trembled a few times, and he took the initiative to open his red and swollen eyes to indicate that he was awake.
"Are you still mad at me?" Qin Xingyi sensed a bit of contempt from Xuanyuan Mingyu's gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and asked knowingly.
Xuanyuan Mingyu sat in a corner of the carriage, really angry with Qin Xingyi in her heart, blaming her for not giving herself a chance to heal, it was rare that the patriarch of the Rota tribe was willing to use secret techniques to treat his amnesia, and now he has no chance.
"Yes, I'm angry! What the hell do you want to do? Where are you taking me? Xuanyuan Mingyu didn't want to ignore Qin Xingyi, but he had doubts in his heart, so he had to ask them.
Qin Xingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said disdainfully: "Whatever you want, you can't help it if you get angry, it's all your own fault!" You can't escape the blood debt you owe to my father, and you must pay it back. β
Xuanyuan Mingyu sighed deeply, unable to figure out why Qin Xingyi insisted that she was her father-killing enemy, and asked, "Do you have time?" Let's talk about it, shall we? β
"Of course, there is time! There is still an hour before dawn, so let's go into the tent and talk. Qin Xingyi said and jumped out of the carriage.
Xuanyuan Mingyu wanted to get out of the carriage by himself, moved slightly, the wounds all over his body were in severe pain, his legs were weak, he knelt down in the carriage, bowed his head and gasped, and thought very sadly: Is his body so weak? I can't even walk!
Suddenly, the wind sounded in his ears, and a figure flashed, Xuanyuan Mingyu felt two hands pinching his arms, dragging his body out, and at the same time heard Bai Yinfan's voice.
"Senior sister, there is no need to be soft-hearted towards this little thief, he is your enemy, you just need to hate him." Yin Fan stiffly dragged Xuanyuan Mingyu off the carriage and threw it to the ground, ordering his men to find a rope and prepare to tie it up to prevent him from escaping.
"Senior brother, can't you just be gentle with him? I promised Mu Zhuangshi not to treat him abusively, and he couldn't go back on his word. Qin Xingyi was a little displeased.
"Senior sister, it's not abusive, this thief should enjoy this kind of treatment if he is a prisoner, and he can't be soft on this kind of person." Bai Yinfan is not angry, why is the senior sister always merciful to the enemy?
"Senior brother, are you blaming me?" Qin Xingyi was a little embarrassed, because the matter was clear, and what was going to happen next was the most critical part of the implementation of the serial plan, which was to use Xuanyuan Mingyu to sabotage peace and obstruct the alliance between the two countries, and Xuanyuan Mingyu would innocently be detained on trumped-up charges such as adultery, adultery, and incest! His fate can be imagined, Qin Xingyi couldn't help but soften when he thought of it.
"Senior sister, I don't dare to blame, but I am angry with this little thief, and I feel that my senior sister is too good to him, almost beyond common sense." Silver Sail's jealousy began to swell.
Xuanyuan Mingyu struggled to turn over and crawl up, knelt on the ground on one leg, listening to the conversation between the two of them, and felt ridiculous, is this still good for himself? It's unreasonable!
"What do you know? Don't talk nonsense! Qin Xingyi was very dissatisfied with her junior brother's accusations, she didn't give Xuanyuan Mingyu any benefits, and her junior brother was too sensitive.
Xuanyuan Mingyu stood up slowly, feeling extremely top-heavy, endured dizziness, and asked, "You have no right to detain me and let me go!" β
Bai Yinfan was scolded by his senior sister, and his heart was unhappy, and when he heard Xuanyuan Mingyu's question, his heart was on fire, he turned around angrily, pushed Xuanyuan Mingyu's body hard, and at the same time stretched out his foot and stumbled, watching him fall on his back with a "poof", and hummed: "Let you go?" Don't think about you! What are you dreaming about? β
Qin Xingyi saw that Bai Yinfan's temper was unreasonable, so he was so angry that he ignored him, squatted down, and asked Xuanyuan Mingyu, "You didn't fall and get hurt, did you?" Let's go, Miss Ben helped you into the tent, don't you want to talk? β
Xuanyuan Mingyu's current situation is equivalent to being under the eaves, how can he not bow his head, "um", with Qin Xingyi's support, he stood up slowly, and walked into the camp step by step.
The tent was empty, with only a red box in the center. It was a wooden box specially made by Qin Xingyi in advance, with a mezzanine layer inside, the shallower layer on the top to place some gold and silver jewelry, and the lower layer was slightly larger, Qin Xingyi thought that there was enough space for hiding a thin teenager.
Xuanyuan Mingyu didn't know that this red box was about to be used to hold himself, and because his body was unstable, he sat calmly on top of the box, and heard Qin Xingyi say to several subordinates and Bai Yinfan: "You go out first, I'll talk to him alone." β
"Senior sister, tell them all to go out and let me stay, right? I don't worry, in case this thief cheats, I can't prevent it. Bai Yinfan said, went around behind Xuanyuan Mingyu, and forcibly twisted his hands behind his back, not allowing him to move.
Qin Xingyi had a headache about Bai Yinfan's stubborn behavior, and considering that Bai Yinfan was also thinking about his own safety, it was not good to accuse him too much of acting recklessly.
Xuanyuan Mingyu's arms were maliciously twisted up by Bai Yinfan, and he bent down in pain, thinking: It's not a way to go on like this for a long time, you still have to find a way to escape.
Xuanyuan Mingyu twisted his body in pain, and his eyes flickered, and he saw a scimitar worn by Bai Yinfan's waist. The knife! I'm going to take it myself! He had a plan in his heart.
However, Xuanyuan Mingyu's idea fell through! He felt a numbness on his body, and was tapped on the acupoint on his waist by Bai Yinfan, and his whole body suddenly became soft and unable to focus.
"Senior brother, don't be nervous, let him go." Qin Xingyi raised the silver sail a little fussily, there was no need to be so close to the enemy, Xuanyuan Mingyu could still escape like this? Unless the sun hits the west and comes out.
"Yes." Bai Yinfan smiled darkly, and instead of twisting Xuanyuan Mingyu's arm, he lifted his arm to prevent him from slipping to the ground.
There were only three people left in the tent and it was time to start talking. Qin Xingyi stretched out her hand to hold Xuanyuan Mingyu's jaw, and when she saw that his eyes were full of despair, her heart jumped suddenly, and she blurted out comfort: "If you can prove that you are not my father-killing enemy, maybe you still have hope." β
"Count on ...... What the? Xuanyuan Mingyu asked a little breathlessly.
"I hope that the eldest princess will marry you in the future!" Qin Xingyi said the words of anticipation that had been suppressed in her heart for four years again.
"Huh!" When Bai Yinfan heard this, he almost burned his eyebrows, which was called a gas! Marry him? How is it not to marry yourself?
Bai Yinfan was furious, grabbed Xuanyuan Mingyu's arm, his fingernails almost pinched into his flesh, and Xuanyuan Mingyu grinned in pain, begging: "Little star, don't be kidding!" If you keep talking, I will be strangled to death by your junior brother. β
"Senior brother, you go out!" Qin Xingyi finally found out that something was wrong, and couldn't bear Bai Yinfan anymore, and ordered him to leave the camp.
"Senior sister, I will kill him sooner or later!" Bai Yinfan didn't expect Qin Xingyi to turn his face, let go of his hand angrily, pointed at Xuanyuan Mingyu and yelled, turned his head and walked out of the tent.
Xuanyuan Mingyu couldn't sit still because he was hit by Bai Yinfan, and his body began to tilt down. Qin Xingyi hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Xuanyuan Mingyu's waist, and whispered, "Mingyu be careful, don't fall." β
Xuanyuan Mingyu was suffering from not having half of his strength, so he leaned into Qin Xingyi's arms in desperation and asked, "Little Xing, I've been dreaming a lot lately...... There is a small river, you rescue me from the river and go ashore! I wonder if that scenario is real? β
"It's true. It happened four years ago. Qin Xingyi was brought up by the topic of Xuanyuan Mingyu, and her thoughts also turned back to four years ago, that night, that small river, she rescued Xuanyuan Mingyu who threw herself into the water, hugged him, comforted him, and loved him so much at that time!
"It's been so long...... Why did you save me at that time? Xuanyuan Mingyu felt that it was very difficult to speak, so in order to save strength, he closed his eyes and leaned into Qin Xingyi's arms for the time being.
Qin Xingyi, like Xuanyuan Mingyu, was also mentally stimulated for two days and two nights, and did not sleep and rest at ease. At this moment, when she was overtired, she felt that Xuanyuan Mingyu was very fragile in a trance, as if she was holding a simple and naΓ―ve baby in her arms, and couldn't help but stroke his hair and confessed: "I used to love you!" β
"You loved me?" Xuanyuan Mingyu asked.
"Yes, you don't know, four years ago, in order to save you, I sneaked into Prime Minister Hu Cheng's mansion with makeup, and later revealed my identity, the senior brother was drugged by them, and I could only take one away, so I couldn't rescue you, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone at that time."
Qin Xingyi was full of remorse and continued: "How good it would be if I rescued you at that time!" It wouldn't have happened so much! I won't hate you to the core, and I won't set up a series of schemes with my stepfather to hurt you and lose your memory. β
"Little Star, I'm innocent, please stop." Xuanyuan Mingyu felt that Qin Xingyi seemed to have an unbroken love for her, even if she broke the thread, and hoped that she would raise her noble hand, restrain herself from the precipice, and stop persecuting herself.
"I'm sorry, Mingyu, I can't stop! The chain is meticulous, and it must be pushed forward, for the development and strength of our Western Qin State. Qin Xingyi no longer hides it, and is honest with her lover and enemy.
"Serial Scheme...... What is it? "Xuanyuan Mingyu heard this plan for the first time, and she didn't know what it had to do with herself.
"The serial plan is to destroy the princess of Danjiang Kingdom and the emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, prevent them from forming an alliance, and then take advantage of the situation, destroy the Danjiang Kingdom, and finally seize the Xuanyuan Dynasty." Qin Xingyi said confidently.
