"What child?" Xiao Shao was slightly stunned and said immediately.

"So you still don't know the way?" Yuan Chuan pretended to look at Xiao Shao in surprise, then slapped his head suddenly, as if he had just remembered, and said slowly: "No wonder you don't know the Dao, because I have just known the Dao." The princess kept a lot of secrets about her body, and no one knew anything about her there. even raised a dog, and snatched food from the dog's mouth in the name of raising a dog, which is an unthinkable thing, probably for the sake of the belly. It's just that the last one is still one corpse and two lives, tsk, pity your little son of Jinying Wangfu, who died in his mother's belly before he was born. ”

Before Yuan Chuan's words fell, he felt that his shoulder blade was suddenly wrong, Xiao Shao did not kill him, but he did not tolerate him being able to master so easily. was originally from a martial arts training background, and he didn't show mercy at this time, so he misplaced Yuan Chuan's shoulder blades, and Yuan Chuan couldn't help screaming.

"Third brother......." Mo Cong was a little dazed, Yuan Chuan even said this kind of thing, he was afraid that Xiao Shao would be out of proportion because of this. But Xiao Shao just said coldly: "You are lying." ”

Yuan Chuan endured a bitter smile and said: "Why should Prince Xiao deceive himself, don't say that the princess is not dead just because he can't bear the news." My life is the most ruthless and can be replaced by Jiang Ruan and Jinying's little prince, it is also worth it, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

"If you want to kill yourself by my hand, I will not be able to do what you want." Xiao Shao's gaze was very cold, and his tone was even colder: "You are loyal to Danzhen, as soon as Danzhen dies, you will only have revenge." If you say, "If you have revenge, why don't you die?" also had to survive to avoid Xuanli's pursuit. It can be seen that Ah Ruan is still alive, and you are looking for her whereabouts! ”

Xiao Shao's words made Yuan Chuan couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, indeed, that day he watched Jiang Ruan fall off the cliff, it was a foolproof life, but when he sent people down the mountain to look for the body, he couldn't find the whereabouts of the body. Immediately after that, the people who announced the departure found the clue. Qi Man probably thought that he had succeeded, and he betrayed him quickly, and Xuan Li knew that Jiang Ruan died at the hands of Yuan Chuan, so he naturally wanted to kill Yuan Chuan and die. Originally, Yuan Chuan also planned to follow Danzhen after killing Jiang Ruan, but now that Jiang Ruan's body is not found, he will not be able to settle down for a day. always felt that Jiang Ruan had some other tricks, he couldn't confirm Jiang Ruan's death, so he couldn't die in Xuanli's hands so easily. It was only like a lost dog to avoid Xuanli's pursuit, while asking around about Jiang Ruan's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, this point was also noticed by Xiao Shao, Xuanli's people had not caught him yet, but Xiao Shao had already caught him. Being caught by Xiao Shao must have no chance of escaping, the only thing he can do now is to disgust Xiao Shao and tell him that Jiang Ruan is dead. He knew that Jiang Ruan was pregnant after the most reluctance, and if Xiao Shao learned that Jiang Ruan was pregnant and died, he would probably not be able to let go of his feelings for the rest of his life. Dan Zhen followed Xiao Shao all his life, and everything he did was to imprison Xiao Shao by his side, but he lost his life for this and buried him in the strange land of the Great Jin Dynasty. Since Yuan Chuan couldn't confirm whether Jiang Ruan was alive or dead, let Xiao Shao live in pain, and live in guilt and self-blame all his life, it was also for Dan to really breathe a bad breath.

He was right to think like this, but he didn't expect that his intentions would be seen through by Xiao Shao. Yuan Chuan raised his head and met Xiao Shao's star-like eyes, only to feel that the gaze was very sharp, almost trying to see through his heart. He was shocked in his heart, but he raised his lips and said, "How can I make this clear to you, Lord Xiao seems to know me very well." But I'm not alive for Jiang Ruan, there is more than one enemy who killed the saint, Jiang Ruan is just the most ruthless one, I want to kill her. Since you don't believe it like this, you might as well ask Her Royal Highness the princess, by the way, Xuanli is the same, the fire burned the whole house that day, and she was burned to death inside. There are not even ashes left, Xuan Li is chasing and killing me, isn't it because of this reason, otherwise, do you think that as long as Jiang Ruan is still alive, at this moment, why won't Xuan Li hand her over and make a deal with you? ”

Xiao Shao didn't speak, but Yuan Chuan felt a slight tremor of the dagger against his throat, even if it was just a moment of smiling, Yuan Chuan still felt it, Xiao Shao was nervous.

Xiao Shao is a cold-hearted person who is rumored outside, but once such a person has concern, it will be a lifetime. Dan really likes Xiao Shao, so Yuan Chuan naturally inquired about Xiao Shao's news, and knew that Xiao Shao had a deep affection for Jiang Ruan. No matter how rational and calm a man is, he will not be indifferent in the face of a scene where he may never lose his love. Xiao Shao is still an ordinary person in the end, he is not a god, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, thinking about Yuan Chuan's words at this moment, it still makes him feel confused in his heart.

When the fire broke out that day, Xuanli's people were stunned by Yuanchuan medicine, and those who were left behind were their own people, and Qi Man had already cleaned up those people, so when Xuanli's people woke up, what they knew was nothing more than that Jiang Ruan died in this fire. And the starry bones left behind in the fire are indeed in the past. In order to avoid Xuanli's anger, those guards will naturally unanimously put things aside from themselves, and since Qi Man said that it was Yuanchuan who set the fire, it is equivalent to having a scapegoat. Naturally, all the charges were pointed at Yuanchuan in unison. And Yuan Chuan will not tell the fact that Jiang Ruan may still be alive even if he dies, as long as Xuanli Zhilu Dao Jiang Ruan may have the slightest chance of survival, he will try his best to rescue Jiang Ruan.

So up to now, all Xuan Li knew about was that Yuanchuan burned Jiang Ruan's house with a fire, and also burned Jiang Ruan to death.

This is exactly what Yuan Chuan wants to achieve, confirming Jiang Ruan's death, on the one hand, it can make Xiao Shao suffer for a lifetime, and on the other hand, it can completely cut off the possibility that Xuanli can get anything from Xiao Shao. Jiang Ruan's words are right, if it is Jiang Ruan who calculated to let Dan Zhen burn the holy decree and get the most unfortunate ending, Xuan Li is the direct murderer who killed Dan Zhen. Yuan Chuan has no way to compete with Xuanli head-on, but he will never let Xuanli get a benefit. As long as Jiang Ruan is dead, Xiao Shao and Xuanli will inevitably have a common hatred, and throughout his life, Xiao Shao will find a way to avenge this revenge. Isn't it nice to see the enemies killing each other?

"Third child," Qi Feng stepped forward quickly and glanced at Yuan Chuan. Naturally, his heart also made waves because of Yuan Chuan's words, but he still had some sense. Xiao Shao was looking at Jiang Ruan from the eyes of his husband and wife, and naturally thought that Jiang Ruan must be having a very hard time. But in Qi Feng's eyes, Jiang Ruan is not such a weak person, if she is so easy to die, it must not be her. If she is pregnant with a child, she will try her best to survive. So he looked at Xiao Shao and said, "I'm afraid this person is deceitful when he speaks, and the third sister-in-law is not a person who can be killed so easily." If she is pregnant with a child, she will only be stronger. We still need to check this person's words, and as for the ...... now. ”

"Take it away." Xiao Shao suddenly withdrew his dagger and looked down at Yuan Chuan condescendingly, Yuan Chuan was looking at Xiao Shao with some pride, but at this moment, he was stared at by Xiao Shao's gaze, and he actually had a fear from the bottom of his heart, and subconsciously had an urge to escape. It was a coldness that completely abandoned human emotion, as if looking at a dead corpse, even something that was inferior to a dead corpse. What does he want to do?

Xiao Shao said lightly: "Jinyi Wei interrogated the prisoners, and if there are any means, they will all be used." Don't let him die. With that, he turned around and got on his horse, ignoring the people behind him, and rode away.

"Hey......" Mo Cong wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by Qi Feng, looked at Xiao Shao's back in a bit of a complicated way, and said, "Let him be quiet alone." ”

"And what about him?" Mo Cong looked at Yuan Chuan on the ground and asked.

A strange smile appeared on Qi Feng's face, he was already handsome, and he looked polite on weekdays, but this smile appeared on his face, but it seemed to make his face suddenly have a trace of murderous aura, which was similar to Xiao Shao for a moment. He said slowly: "Didn't you hear what the master said, bring back the Jinyi Guard, and serve the big punishment." ”

At this moment, even the Jinyi Jinji on the side showed a strange expression.

Jin Yiwei is a group of killers, and they never say that they are good people, and the methods of interrogating prisoners are endless, and they don't get any benefits. Only Xiao Shao has always been accustomed to killing with a knife that sweeps away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and he rarely uses the criminal laws stipulated by King Lao Jinying.

Several brocade guards stepped forward to abolish Yuan Chuan's martial arts, broke his limbs to prevent him from committing suicide, and carefully searched for the poison hidden in his body, and almost threw him naked on horseback, and then shouted back together.

……。

On the night of this day, Xiao Shao didn't come back until the third watch, and after he came back, he didn't say anything, locked himself in the study, and no one was allowed to come in. Steward Lin stood at the door and watched, sighing, Qi Feng walked over, looking at the lamp in the study and a little distracted.

After catching Yuanchuan, Xiao Shao immediately took Jinyiwei to check the temple in Yuanchuan's mouth, which was dozens of miles away from the capital, and it was already a long way, but Xiao Shao didn't care about it. It was a place where lepers lived, and there was a ruined temple where the monks were all lepers. The people of southern Xinjiang killed local patients and disguised themselves as patients and monks, so they were naturally able to deceive the people who came to inspect. After all, no one thought that someone would hide here, and if one accidentally contracted leprosy, it would be ruined.

By the time Xiao Shao arrived there with the brocade guards, all the people in southern Xinjiang had left, and the building was empty, leaving only the original patient's body hastily buried in the ground. One of the temples was so charred that it was almost destroyed to ashes.

Xiao Shao was shocked when he saw the ruins, and went in to check it himself, along with the fellow Jinyi Guard, the room had been burned beyond recognition, but the deep marks on the wall that the person scratched on the wall before dying could be faintly seen, which was the woman's fingerprints. The bed curtains and the like had been burned clean, but the layout of the room could be seen to be inhabited by a woman. And there's a chain to tie the dog.

Yuan Chuan once said that Jiang Ruan raised a dog in order to hide the fact that he was pregnant, and even used the dog's mouth as a cover. The chaining of this bolted dog is undoubtedly proof of something.

And Ye Feng, who went to search for other things, finally found the medicinal materials for the fetus in a subordinate room.

What all kinds of signs say, at least it shows that Jiang Ruan's current situation is not very optimistic, and perhaps there is more luck than luck. The Jinyi guards present all knew this fact, but no one dared to say it. The most embarrassed was Ye Feng couldn't help but feel sad, walked to Xiao Shao's side and said, "Master, ......"

All burned to ashes. Even the ashes are mixed up with it, how to bury it, is it difficult to establish a clothed grave? In any case, Xiao Shao must have endured great grief in his heart. But Xiao Shao glanced at the ruins lightly and said, "The princess is not here, continue to look for it." ”

Where else can Jiang Ruan be if he is not here? Xuanli did not send anyone to search for Jiang Ruan's whereabouts, there are only two possibilities, either Jiang Ruan is in Xuanli's hands, or Jiang Ruan is dead. But if Jiang Ruan was still in Xuanli's hands, Xuanli would not hide it and not show it to others, and everything in front of him seemed to show that Yuan Chuan was not lying. There was only one thought in the hearts of all the Jinyi guards, and that was that Xiao Shao was deceiving himself.

This man, who has always been calm and rational, and who is powerful and able to face any situation in a variety of undisturbed states, is now very afraid to face the facts. So he was running away from the facts, but everyone couldn't bear to expose this fact, they didn't want to brutally expose Xiao Shao.

Then let's assume that Jiang Ruan is still alive, Princess Jinying is still alive, after all, the body hasn't been found yet, right? No body was found, so I guess it's still alive. Everyone can only deceive themselves like this.

"Young Master Qi," Steward Lin said, "You ......." Let's persuade the young master. ”

"Steward Lin, don't kill me, I can't persuade him." Qi Feng smiled bitterly: "I regret dying now." I can't even persuade myself, he said silently in his heart. Jiang Ruan's plan had been discussed with him at the beginning, and he agreed. When Jin Yiwei's news reached his ears, Qi Feng only felt that time had stopped at that moment. What appeared in front of his eyes was Jiang Ruan's resolute eyes that day, he couldn't stop it, and in the end, he thought it was a good way, and he didn't stop it at all. So in the end, he just watched Jiang Ruan walk onto Huangquan Road.

Xiao Shao couldn't forgive himself, and he couldn't forgive himself. Especially when he learned that Jiang Ruan was still pregnant, he was not only sorry for Jiang Ruan, but also for the child in Jiang Ruan's belly, as well as Xiao Shao. The living have to endure 10,000 times more pain than the dead, and Qi Feng knows this better than others.

When King Jinying and his wife died, Xiao Shao had already endured such a pain. He completely closed himself off, and when he met Jiang Ruan, it was easy to get out of it, but now that he was going to suffer such a blow again, for Xiao Shao, this may mean that the last trace of tenderness in his life has also been wiped out, and from then on, this person can really no longer be counted as a "person".

How could Jiang Ruan be willing to do it? Qi Feng closed his eyes, he felt that the wind was very cold on this spring day, and the light in the study was also very dim, as if it was going to be extinguished in the next moment.

Steward Lin stopped talking, and only said after a while: "It's the old man who is confused, he is the same as his father, he is a lover, and he ...... at the beginning" Steward Lin didn't continue, Prince Hongxi didn't have the will to live because Xiang Xiaoyuan no longer had the will to live, and he followed Xiang Xiaoyuan in such a tragic way. The Xiao family, no, it should be the amorous species of the Xuan family, the son Lao Tzu is the same, Prince Hongxi is gentle as a lotus, Xiao Shao is as cold as water, he looks a little colder and harder than Prince Hongxi, in fact, his heart is softer than anyone else, and now even the most soft is about to be taken away? Steward Lin looked at the sky and said silently in his heart: "Prince, open your eyes, if there is a spirit in the sky, don't let your only son suffer like this."

In the room, Xiao Shao sat at the table, his body was still wearing a black gold robe, stained with cold dew outside, he didn't have the heart to change clothes, just sat at the table in a daze.

The pen on the table was touched by her, the paper was used by her, the quilt was drunk by her, and the chair was sat on by her. Every part of the room seemed to be filled with her smile and brightness, and she was always here with a lamp waiting for him to return at night, and every time he rebuked her for going to bed early, and there was no such picture now.

Xiao Shao looked at it in a daze, thinking of what Yuan Chuan said that Jiang Ruan was still pregnant with their child in his belly, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to have never really fulfilled the responsibility of a husband. She behaved very strongly, and he thought she was strong, but forgot that she was just an ordinary woman.

Jiang Ruan had a miserable life before, and he was determined to protect her well in this life, but this is how he protected her?

Xiao Shao suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his face, the wind in this room was very cold, and this small study suddenly became huge and empty, and he felt very lonely.

He slowly let go of his hand, lifted a piece of letter paper on the table, pulled a pen from the pen holder on the side, sharpened the ink, and began to write.

He wrote: "My wife, Ah Nguyen....... ”

He writes carefully and carefully, his eyelashes are straight and slender in the light, and his side face is heroic and handsome, but he looks very sad.

After he finished writing word by word, he put away a large piece of letterhead. Folded into an envelope and rolled into a small iron pipe, a whistle was blown, and a snow pigeon flew in. Xiao Shao tied the small iron pipe to the snow pigeon's leg, stretched out his finger and touched the snow pigeon's head, and then raised his hand, and the snow pigeon flew out of the window.

He stared at the window.

Outside the house, Qi Feng and Steward Lin both looked at the snow pigeon that flew out of the house and disappeared into the night, and they both sighed softly.

Where will this snow pigeon send the letters of the people in the house? Can it still be delivered?
