10. First move
When leaving the main courtyard, Xie Qingyao glanced at Xie Qingshu again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking of what she had said to her father in the martial arts hall, she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
She said that she hoped to give Xie Qingshu the identity of a concubine. Look, in her last life, she owed Xie Qingshu something, and she gave it to her in advance in this life. This pair of biological mother and daughter, in terms of name, will be a real mother and daughter from now on. As for whether they will love each other or kill each other, this is no longer Xie Qingyao's concern.
When I returned to Qingyao Pavilion, I saw Han Yunqian again. He wore a black night coat, leaned against the window, and flipped through a yellowed book. After seeing Xie Qingyao, he took out a white ribbon from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "Keep it to save your life!" β
The ribbon was cold in his hand, Xie Qingyao shook his internal strength, and suddenly became straight, and if he looked closely, this was actually a sharp soft sword.
"Moonlight?" Xie Qingyao looked at the two slender and long seal characters on the hilt of the sword in surprise: "Made of Xuanbing iron?" This is a rare treasure! β
Han Yunqian smiled faintly: "If you don't like it, you can return it to me!" β
"Of course not!" As soon as Xie Qingyao's wrist was loosened, the silver-white ribbon relaxed, and it was wrapped around her wrist, not like a blade, like an ordinary ornament.
It was a bonus. Not to mention the preciousness of the soft sword's materials, it is in harmony with her cultivation method. In the previous life, Xie Qingyao begged for a blade made of Xuanbing iron but couldn't, but in this life, it sent it to the door by itself. It can be seen that Han Yunqian's net worth as a son of the world is quite considerable.
"Well, is there anything I can do to help you?" No merit is not rewarded, Xie Qingyao said.
"Do you want to go to a good show?"
"Is that the gift you plan to give to Your Majesty?" Xie Qingyao immediately thought of this.
"Clever!" Han Yunqian stood up and walked outside the door.
Xie Qingyao shook her head, also changed into her night clothes, and quietly came to the door.
Han Yunqian is very experienced in entering the house through the wall, and the two of them avoided the bright and dark guards along the way, and actually slipped out of the mansion door smoothly. They quietly turned the long street and slipped into the back door of a nondescript teahouse. Here, there were already two men in the same night clothes waiting.
"Shizi!" After the two of them saw the ceremony, they couldn't help but look at the little Xie Qingyao twice.
"Let's go!" Han Yunqian gave an order, and quietly led a few people to the barren mountains in the outer city.
Instead of going up the mountain, they stopped at a pavilion not far from the bottom of the mountain. From this position, you can see the dark and charming mountains and forests at night.
A short time later, a firework lit up on the barren mountain. Several people looked stunned and stood up.
"Here we go!" Han Yunqian stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly.
"Whose people are they?" Xie Qingyao asked, "Is it Qinglongwei or Baihuwei?" β
There are four parts of the Royal Secret Guard, named after the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu. Generally speaking, Xuanwu Wei was in charge of intelligence, Suzaku Wei was in charge of the security of members of the imperial family, and Qinglong and Baihu were directly under the orders of the emperor to carry out various secret missions conveyed by the emperor. For example, when the prince of the Han Wangfu returned to the imperial capital, he killed people and killed people.
"It's the most elite Qinglongwei, and they're almost all out of force!" Han Yunqian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Xie Qingyao knew quite a lot.
After the fireworks were lit up, there was a bustle in the mountains and forests in the distance. Even if it was far away, Xie Qingyao could feel that there must be corpses all over the field, and there must be rivers of blood.
Soon, several explosions sounded. Well, even explosives were used. Now, the scene should escalate to the point where there are no bones left! There was no need to think about it, Xie Qingyao also knew that this must have been an ambush made by Han Yunqian's people in advance.
Han Yunqian's body moved, turned around and said, "You wait here, don't run around!" β
Xie Qingyao nodded, and Han Yunqian had disappeared.
The barren mountains in the night became more and more lively, with the sound of undulating explosions, the sound of fighting mixed with the wind, and the sound of blades intersecting and internal force splitting into the air.
This means that the remnants of the defeated army who were ambushed are evacuating towards here.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Yunqian left one of the guards frowning and said, "Miss, let's quit some first, shall we?" It's getting more and more dangerous here. β
"It's good!" Xie Qingyao listened to the sound of the wind, and was about to leave, when he saw a silver-faced man flying from the mountains and forests like a meteor, and a red long sword was directly towards Xie Qingyao.
This person's cultivation is much higher than Xie Qingyao's, probably the level of a six-star warrior. The two black-clothed guards didn't have time to rescue them, so they saw that Xie Qingyao was caught by someone who came.
"Han Yunqian, if you want this girl to live, take your people and leave!" The silver-faced man's voice was very hoarse, as if he had deliberately disguised it.
"Do you know who that girl you have? The dignified Qinglong Guardian Lord, actually taking a girl as a hostage, your Murong clan is really getting more and more promising! Han Yunqian quickly led someone to appear in front of the silver-masked man and surrounded him tightly.
"Who is it? The name of the eldest lady of the Xie family, who doesn't know the entire imperial capital, who doesn't know? Han Yunqian, if Miss Xie dies because of you, if you want to come, Xie Jinzhi will definitely take good care of you! β
"That is also dead in the hands of Murong He!" Han Yunqian said lightly: "Before cleaning me up, the head of the Xie family should be more interested in your master, Murong He. β
"No one will know that this girl died at the hands of Qinglongwei. They will only know that Han Yunqian took Miss Xie out, but did not bring Miss Xie back safely! β
Han Yunqian smiled at this time, took a step back, and said, "Okay, if you're lucky, Xie Qingyao must not have an accident in my hands." So, how about I let you go? β
"Han Shizi really knows the severity!" The silver-faced man said this, but the hand that grabbed Xie Qingyao's throat did not mean to let go at all.
Seeing this, Han Yunqian took another step back, and even put the long sword in his hand on the ground.
"You guys go back first, and I'll put Miss Xie three miles away from here. When the time comes, remember to bring her back! β
"But, how does this son know if what you left behind will be a corpse?" Han Yunqian said slowly.
"You can believe it or not! It's just that in that case, Miss Xie will now turn into a corpse. β
"Okay, this son will let you go, but you have to talk about it." Han Yunqian waved his hand helplessly, and the guards made a way.
The silver-faced man suddenly lifted his breath and turned around and ran in the direction of the inner city of the imperial capital.
Xie Qingyao was still caught by the silver-faced man, and after escaping a mile, he removed the hand that was stuck in her throat.
Without Han Yunqian, who could take his life at any time, he didn't need to control Xie Qingyao so tightly.
But this gave Xie Qingyao a good opportunity!
She struggled in mid-air, the soft sword wrapped around her wrist stabbed out.
The silver-faced man was shocked, he didn't expect that Xie Qingyao actually had a soft sword on his body, and he didn't expect that this girl would dare to risk her life to attack him.
The soft sword failed to stab the silver-faced person's heart, and the cultivation gap was there. With Xie Qingyao's little strength, if it was an ordinary weapon, it would be a little difficult to pierce the skin of the silver-faced person.
However, this soft sword is not an ordinary weapon, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is iron-sharpened.
A layer of moonlight erupted on the silver sword, which happened to pierce the silver-faced man's right arm.
Xie Qingyao took the opportunity to get out and desperately fled towards the deserted pavilion.
The silver-masked man was in hot pursuit, and even if he was injured, he was sure that he would regain control of the girl before she could escape back.
However, at this time, the sword that had injured the silver-faced man suddenly glowed with a layer of blood, and it actually left its owner and automatically stopped in front of the silver-faced man.
"This is the Sword of Blood Sacrifice?" The silver-faced people were horrified. As the blood light lit up, another long sword flew like a rainbow.
The two swords both stopped in front of the silver-faced man, buying Xie Qingyao some time.
At this time, Han Yunqian also quickly brought people over. The silver-faced man gritted his teeth, finally abandoned Xie Qingyao and fled.
"This is the Twin Blood Sword?" Xie Qingyao beckoned to withdraw the Moon Spirit Sword and said coldly.
"Well, a moon spirit, a Yanhua." Han Yunqian smiled and said, "The twin swords have mutual inductions, and they can also spontaneously protect the master. This time, weren't they the ones who saved your life? β
"However, there is also a distinction between the twin swords, and the master of the main sword can control the whereabouts of the secondary sword, and can also command the secondary sword from afar. By doing this, aren't you planting a whisper in front of me? β
The eyes of the guards surrounding Han Yunqian gradually became weird, Han Yunqian frowned, waved these guards away, and said, "The twin sword can't devour the master, and I can't use it to your detriment." And when you're in danger, I can still help you, just like this time, okay? I remember you said that Xie Qingyao only looks at the results and doesn't ask the reason. If the result is good, why should you care about anything else? β
"I'm in danger, isn't it all because of you?" Xie Qingyao said in a deep voice: "Okay now, I, Xie Qingyao, are officially on the opposite side of the royal secret guard." Maybe tomorrow morning, the one in the Zhengde Hall will suspect that the Xie family has hooked up with the Han Wangfu, and your goal has been achieved, right? β
Han Yunqian did mean this, otherwise, he would not let the silver-faced man leave. Han Wangfu, which has many brothers, is unreliable, and Han Yunqian needs Xie Fu's help very much. And Xie Qingyao, this cunning little fox, is the best breakthrough.
He approached this girl with a purpose, but he also could afford to give her a future that would not be let down. In this regard, Han Yunqian did not feel so guilty.
"Yaoyao, didn't we 'hook' up together a long time ago? From the moment you came to my rescue! β
"But I already regret it!"
"You have no regrets!" Han Yunqian looked at her deeply and said in a low voice, "I know, Yaoyao, you have no regrets. According to your temperament, if you really regret it, you won't say a word to me at all now, but turn around and leave, and never look back, yes or no? β
"You're right!" Xie Qingyao was silent for a while, then smiled, and took the Moon Spirit Sword back and wrapped it around his wrist.
"Han Yunqian, I really don't like the royal family, and I don't mind cooperating with you. But what can you afford to give me? Xie Qingyao lacks nothing now, and the Xie family has no further ambitions. β
"Yaoyao, you won't be willing to be trapped in the imperial capital, and you won't be willing to live in the circle of your husband and children for the rest of your life, right? I know that you are not a person who rests on your laurels. Ordinary may make ordinary girls happy, but it will only ruin you completely. In that case, why don't you stand side by side with me, stand on the highest place, and overlook the 30,000 miles of rivers and mountains in the world together? You're so smart, you must know what I mean, don't you? β
"What are you talking about? Asking for a kiss? Xie Qingyao's smile faded: "There are never a few men who are determined to be in the world, and you are not the only one." What's more, my ambition has never been in the world! β
However, this question will soon be thrown up by the emperor. Perhaps, just tomorrow. When the time comes, who else can you choose? Oh, you also have a cousin of the crown prince, come to think of it, His Majesty is more than willing to imprison you in his East Palace. But would you be willing to be a caged bird and share a husband with other vulgar women in the future? In this way, who else but me would dare to risk offending the royal family and sacrifice his life to marry you? β
Of course Xie Qingyao understands this truth! Because of tonight's events, she desperately needs a fiancΓ© to come to the top of the tank.
"Say these things to my father. If he agrees, I don't object! Xie Qingyao said this, and added: "However, I have never tolerated betrayal, if you really have this mind, you will be ready to guard me like a jade for the rest of your life!" β
Han Yunqian listened to such a "rebellious" remark, and his heart was relieved. He knew that if this girl suddenly became virtuous and virtuous, it would be his turn to be afraid.
Xie Qingyao said again: "Actually, although the East Palace is not a good place to go, it will not be able to trap me!" It's a cage, but if the cage is removed, heaven and earth will still be mine! β
Seeing Han Yunqian's wry smile as he wished, Xie Qingyao shook his head, but he didn't have any charming thoughts in his heart, but remembered the old things in his previous life.
After Han Yunqian's accident, Han Wangfu gradually entered a decline. And Xie Fu has become a new thorn in the side of the royal family. The crown prince Murong Qian inherited his father's narrow-mindedness, regardless of the relationship between mother and son, repeatedly suppressed Xie Fu, and even forced Xie Qian, who was the queen, to commit suicide.
Xie Yu and Xie Jinzhi are cousins, and they have always loved Xie Qingyao's niece as if she were her own daughter. After her death, Xie Mansion and the royal family completely tore their faces and intervened in the division of the big cake of Han Wangfu. They chose Han Dongping, and through Han Dongping's ascension, they became the winner of this balance of interests.
To a certain extent, Xie Qingyao will choose Han Dongping, and there is also a consideration of using his power to control the Han Wangfu to fight against the imperial family. It's just that, who would have thought that everything went so smoothly, but it was the most unlikely step to fail.
At that time, Xie Qingyao and Han Dongping's accident could not shake the fate of Han Wangfu falling into the hands of the Xie family. No matter from which perspective of interests, Han Dongping's actions are tantamount to digging his own grave. Even if Ye Qingyao didn't kill him, Xie Jinzhi wouldn't let him go.
Puppets, that's something that can be replaced at any time. The disobedient puppet, even if he marries Xie Jinzhi's daughter, can't escape the end of destruction.
Xie Jinzhi is not only a father, but also the head of the Xie family, a family owner who makes the Xie Mansion still stable in the storm, and an excellent politician and strategist. Xie Qingyao is not only the daughter who is favored by Xie Jinzhi, but also his bosom friend and follower.
Therefore, she gave Han Dongping status and identity, but she would never give her any sincerity. It's not ruthless, it's just that among her husband and father, Xie Qingyao chose the latter, and she can sacrifice the former at any time.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyao glanced at Han Yunqian deeply: Han Yunqian, I hope you won't become the second Han Dongping!
The chess game has been set, and it may have been unclear who took the lead.
