【Three-in-one Chapter】

In the palace, the night banquet.

Xue Rui drank very well, and even ten altars and eight altars couldn't get him drunk on weekdays, but tonight he didn't refuse to come, and he really drank too much. Who said that he did it on purpose, and showed a little madness after drinking, in order to induce some ministers who were jealous of his rise to provoking him to provoke him.

Party struggle is always indispensable in the court, and the pursuit of fame and fortune is the norm in officialdom, and the heroes who followed Emperor Yan to fight the country will inevitably have unevenness when it comes time to share the soup.

As he expected, some people were not accustomed to seeing him complacent, so they jumped out in the middle of the banquet and first accused him of wantonly recovering the officials of the previous dynasty, taking the opportunity to collect money, and buying people's hearts.

If Emperor Yan is not a broad-minded monarch, with this article, I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied with Xue Rui. Fortunately, Xue Rui had already reported to the emperor in advance, and the resumption of the officials of the previous dynasty was approved by the emperor.

Xue Rui defended himself and spit out his bitterness in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military - do you think Zhao'an is a good errand, and you can make those scholars who regard their reputation as more important than their lives work for the court for those few stones?

Zhao'an, that's a technical job. Do you really think anyone can do it?

Xue Rui was a little drunk, and said bluntly: "The younger brother told them that the king is a saint and a corporal of Lixian, it is difficult to have a benevolent heart, as long as they can plot for the people of Li and contribute to the society of the country, the king will not mind their origins." The younger brother said bitterly, this side said that three percent of people with lofty ideals will be loyal to my Dayan court. ”

"In addition, the war is over, the world is difficult to help, the court is turbulent, and foreign countries are coveting. In addition, the king does not kill the king of the former dynasty. Touched the temperament of Sancheng. Willing to serve the king. ”

This remark not only praised the emperor, but also praised the group of old ministers, who would expose his methods of coercion and temptation. The old faces turned red. They all made a look of annoyance, shame and anger. Glaring at the minister who accused His Royal Highness King Ping of betraying his official beard, if he dared to say more, they would rush up and fight with him.

Even Emperor Yan nodded again and again when he heard this. Reassured Xue Rui and said: "I know that it is not easy for you, and the resumption of the matter is my personal permission, from now on, whoever says that you are not a word, I will never spare him." ”

This clearly shows that he is supporting Xue Rui.

The new Hubu Shangshu who was against Xue Rui was not convinced, relying on his own achievements in following the Jiang family for decades, he refused to let go of Xue Rui, and asked the big lama: "Then what is the explanation for King Ping's harboring of the important ministers of the previous dynasty?" ”

Xue Rui frowned and said, "Why did Lord Shangshu say this? ”

Ning Shangshu is reasonable: "The prince doesn't have to pretend to be stupid, the lower officials have already found out, half a month ago, you were ordered to attack Beijing, and at that time, not only did you capture the king of the dead country, but also captured Yu Shu, the former emperor of the Tianjian Dynasty, and took people back to the barracks to detain them privately. It is said that she studied under the fairy family, and has the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers to call for wind and rain, and even more, some people say that the reason why the previous dynasty can have three hundred years of peace and prosperity is all maintained by Si Tianjian, as the master of Si Tianjian, Da Ti is very important, you have caught this woman, but you don't immediately dedicate it to the saint, isn't it because you have ulterior motives and plot against you? ”

Xue Rui pursed his lips, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't immediately refute it, which made Ning Shangshu even more convinced that he had a ghost, and became more and more aggressive.

"The prince doesn't speak, I'm afraid it's not a weak heart."

Xue Rui ignored him and turned his head to face the emperor, looking unspeakable, "Rong Chen made it clear in private. ”

Emperor Yan knew that he had a marriage contract with the female minister, but when he was selfish, it was not good to talk in front of the public, and he was about to nod his head in agreement, but Ning Shangshu was unforgiving, and he inserted a lever horizontally-

"Why don't you dare to explain in front of people, could it be that you have something unsightly to do with that woman?"

He is deliberately provocative, just waiting for Xue Rui to be angry and unscrupulous, the means are not clever, in normal times, Xue Rui will only laugh at it, but tonight he is drunk, but he is not as good-tempered as usual, I don't know where he was stepped on and hurt his feet, his eyes were red angrily, he sneered, and his two fingers turned into a sword and pointed angrily at others-

"If you are filthy, how can the heart of a villain be a gentleman's belly. This king is open-minded, and you slander two sentences, but he only thinks that he is a dog barking, and he does not want to argue with you. But that Lord Yu, what a character like Lan Yuanzhi, this king admires her as a person, and he can't tolerate you being so insulted! ”

Ning Shangshu was stunned by his blatant words of protection, and everyone was also in an uproar.

But Xue Rui didn't wait for the other party to grab his handle this time, so he turned to Emperor Yan again, held back his indignation, and said truthfully: "Regardless of the previous dynasty or this dynasty, those who have been ministers throughout the ages have been secondary, and their talents and abilities are secondary, and they must have a loyal heart first." On the same day, the younger brother led the troops to break through Anling, captured the king of the dead country, inside and outside the capital, only one person came to the rescue, although it was weak, and was finally surrendered by the younger brother, but when it came to loyalty and courage, it was respectable. As a woman, she is more responsible than most men in this world. ”

"Fang Cai Ning Shangshu is not wrong about one thing, before entering Beijing this time, the younger brother had a secret report and learned that the three hundred years of prosperity and peace in the previous dynasty were indeed closely related to Si Tianjian." He took a deep breath and brought up the matter of Zhao'an again:

"The minister has words first, relying on the virtue of the sage of the king, and the incorruptible tongue of the minister, it is indeed persuaded that ninety percent of the wise men abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but there is also one percent left, and the other minister is helpless - the officials of the heavenly prison are twisted together, and they will not submit to them for a day if they don't see their big mention. It can be seen that if you want to subdue Si Tianjian, you need to subdue the big mention first. ”

"It's a shame to say that after the captives were mentioned that day, her brother tried to persuade her to submit to my Dayan, but she refused to give in to the coercion and temptation, if I hadn't told her that Emperor Da'an was trapped and not dead, she would have committed suicide and martyrdom at this time."

Xue Rui sighed and shook his head, looking at the emperor with a little shame and a little guilty.

Such a look fell in the eyes of Emperor Yan. It made him suddenly realize, and said in his heart: No wonder this kid was hesitant before, it turned out that he hadn't gotten rid of other people's girls yet, so he came to him to ask for marriage first.

Emperor Yan felt angry and funny, but his focus was still on the sentence "Si Tianjian is closely related to the peaceful and prosperous world", and after a moment of silence, he glanced at the seat, opened his mouth and said loudly: "Such a woman with high ambitions and amazing talents, it is indeed a pity to kill." If you can return to our court. I will treat each other with courtesy. I won't humiliate her. ”

Xue Rui lowered his eyes, and his eyes flashed. How Ning Shangshu learned that Yu Shu was taken captive by him, and how he heard that Si Tianjian was secret, it was all arranged by him. to provoke others. Ning Shangshu questioned him in public.

And what he was waiting for was Emperor Yan's words. Everyone was watching, hundreds of ears heard it, and Yu Shu surrendered to Dayan in the future. Others have nothing to criticize. He set up this game tonight just to let the emperor personally correct her name!

"The gentleman's benevolence and benevolence will go down in history for thousands of years." Xue Rui unveiled his robe and knelt on the ground, bowed down sincerely, and drank in his mouth.

There was a buzz in the hall, and then, I saw dozens of former ministers of the former dynasty leaving the table and kowtowing with excitement, impressed by the benevolence of the current emperor, and even the important ministers of the former dynasty who mentioned the point could put aside their prejudices and treat them kindly, let alone them. Everyone resolved the anxiety in their hearts, and a sense of belonging was born, from now on, the previous dynasty has become an old dream, and they are the courtiers of this Dayan.

The ministers returned to their hearts, and Emperor Yan saw this scene, of course, he was happy to see it, and immediately smiled, not caring about Xue Rui's tricks under his nose.

Seeing this situation, all the ministers present knew in their hearts that their arms could not twist their thighs, and when it came to wrists and favors, Ning Shangshu was difficult to pat at the horse.

"Alright, let's all be flat." Emperor Yan raised his hand, motioned for everyone to return to their seats, and glanced at Ning Shangshu, who was standing there blowing his beard and staring, he didn't like him to have no eyes, and it was not good to attack him on the spot, so he lightly revealed: "You are all the pillars of Dayan, you are my courtiers, no matter what your background, I will treat everyone equally, and I will not mention anything about the previous dynasty and this dynasty in the future." ”

There was another shout of Long Live Shengming. After the banquet was dispersed, Emperor Yan summoned Xue Rui to the side hall to "talk"

"What's going on with Si Tianjian, why haven't I heard you say it before today?" Emperor Yan deliberately kept a straight face.

Xue Rui shook his head, with a three-point drunken intent, and his tone was slow: "The younger brother only knows a little about some rumors, and it has not yet been confirmed, how dare you talk nonsense in front of the king, it is a crime of bullying the king." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Emperor Yan put down the emperor's shelf, pointed to a chair and asked him to sit down and speak, "There is no need to keep your set of courtesies in private." ”

Xue Rui lowered his shoulders, looking less restrained, he stroked his forehead, and said eloquently: "The background of the minister's brother, the monarch is clear, the department that raised me is Xue Lingnan, the right minister of the former dynasty, and the Xue family has been the secretary of the world, there are always some unknown things to see, it is related to Si Tianjian, there is indeed such a rumor - three hundred years ago, Emperor Anwu unified the country by virtue of the power of the six founding instruments, and the An Dynasty can continue to stand for three hundred years, and it is precisely because of the existence of the founding six instruments." And the purpose of Empress Ning Zhen's establishment of Si Tianjian is to let the past dynasties inherit the six weapons of the founding of the country and bless the royal family. ”

Five years ago, he took his father and brothers to Ningdongcheng to join Jiang Huaiying, who had not yet stood on his own, and did not leak the secret of the "Xuannu Liuren Book" at that time, but he confessed his life experience.

falsely claimed that his biological father Yunhua was assassinated more than 20 years ago because he participated in the battle for succession, and had to entrust him to the Xue family to raise, but his adoptive father Xue Soap suffered because of this. Later, he recognized Yunhua's father and son, and learned that the murderer who killed his adoptive father Xue Soap was Zhu Muzhao, the incumbent Si Tianjian Dati Zhu Muzhao, and it was also this person who sent people to hunt down and kill his biological mother, and the main messenger behind the scenes was Emperor Zhaoqing.

"I have also heard of the six founding weapons, and the rumors are just exaggerated, otherwise how would I win the world?" Emperor Yan was very unimpressed.

Xue Rui shook his head, leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashed, and said: "Your Excellency doesn't know, Da'an's founding six instruments were lost many years ago, and the national fortune has been declining since then, otherwise these three hundred years of foundation will not be easily subverted with my five years of Dayan's work." ”

Emperor Yan's expression changed, and he looked at him in disbelief.

Xue Rui added another handful of dry firewood and struck while the iron was hot, "What's the truth." I don't dare to say for sure, but I know of one person who knows for sure the secrets of the Six Founding Instruments. ”

"You're talking about the Yu family?"

"It's her." Xue Rui aroused the emperor's curiosity, did not sell Guan Zi again, and said bluntly: "It is not good for Zhu Muzhao to pass on the position of the big mention point, but it was passed on to her, there must be something strange in it, I have probed her tone, although she refused to explain, but it is inevitable that one or two things will be leaked between the lines, so I speculated." Her ability to rise to prominence must be related to the founding of the country. It is very likely that she knew the whereabouts of the missing six weapons, so Zhu Muzhao bet on her the hope of rejuvenating the country, and tried his best to put her in charge of Si Tianjian despite public opinion. ”

Listen to him confess. Emperor Yan paid attention to Yu Shu. Take a look at Xue Rui. He asked meaningfully: "If you tell me the truth, aren't you afraid that I will execute the Yu family in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?"

Xue Rui actually laughed a little proudly. Showing a drunken state, his words couldn't help but be presumptuous: "I'm afraid, so I locked her up and tried every means to persuade her to submit to Dayan, so that you won't kill her, brother-in-law, not only won't kill her, but you have to reuse her." ”

Emperor Yan looked at him for a moment, suddenly shook his head and smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at him, and said, "What a seed of infatuation." "Going around, it's not to help the Yu family say good things in front of him, for fear of wronging her.

However, the matter of the founding of the six weapons would rather be believed than not believed.

"I will give you a three-day deadline, if Yu is willing to explain the secrets of the founding six weapons clearly, I promise you, and let her take the position of Si Tianjian Damen, and then assign marriage to the two of you."

Xue Rui's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and bowed down, for fear that he would regret it: "Brother Yu thanked Lord Longen on behalf of the Yu family." ”

Late at night, the feast is over.

Outside the Donghua Gate, several drunken officials could be seen hanging shoulders and backs, calling them brothers and sisters, and they were reluctant to leave in the car. Xue Rui's feet were a little floating, he was supported by the servants to sit in the sedan chair, the curtain was lowered, he let out a long breath, supported his hot forehead with one hand, and unbuttoned the jasper buckle on the round neck with the other, and his chest and back were soaked with sweat.

Tonight, he played tricks in front of the emperor, but in fact, he took a lot of risks, and he walked carefully step by step, for fear that it would be self-defeating if he was not careful, so that the emperor suspected that he had other intentions to protect Yu Shu. So he expressed his heart to the emperor early on, and confessed that he and Yu Shu had a private lifelong agreement, preconceived, and let the emperor blame his every move on the personal affairs of his children, and did not doubt him.

He paved the way for Yu Shu, as long as she took a step, she could rise to the top.

Xue Rui had a matter on his mind and put his mind at ease. Sitting in the sedan chair and staggering, he took a nap after a while, and in the haze he felt that the sedan chair stopped, and when he heard someone outside whispering, he frowned, still closed his eyes, and asked, "Where are you?" ”

It was not his entourage who answered outside, "Lord Wang, something happened outside the city, and someone set fire to the camp at night and burned a few tents. ”

Xue Rui woke up suddenly, tore open the sedan curtain, and asked in a deep voice: "Are there any casualties?" The visitor hurriedly replied: "Only two soldiers who put out the fire were slightly injured, and it was Lord Yu who caught the arsonist, please go back and ask for the guilt." ”

Xue Rui's heart tightened and relaxed, and his drunkenness disappeared, so he immediately got off the sedan chair to summon people to prepare horses and rushed to the camp outside the city. There was a curfew in the city, but fortunately, the defenders of the eastern city were all soldiers brought out by him, and there was no reason why people who saw him were not allowed to leave the city.

All the way to the camp, at dawn, the fire had been extinguished, and the air was full of a scorched smell, Xue Rui saw that the collapsed tents were not far from the accommodation he arranged for Yu Shu, and his face was very ugly.

"Where is Lord Yu?"

Xue Rui's personal guards all knew that their prince treated this female minister of the An Dynasty very unusually, so no one was ignorantly imprisoned as a human prisoner, and tonight something happened, Yu Shu hid, and when the fire was extinguished, no one forced her to return to her residence.

"Back to the prince, Lord Yu is now in the East Tent."

Xue Rui turned around and went to the east, and after walking not far, he saw the maid guarding outside the tent yawning, and saw that he hurriedly covered his mouth, lowered his body and said, "The prince is back, the master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Xue Rui nodded, pulled the curtain in, there were a few lights and candles in the tent, and three people were illuminated in the dim, Yu Shu sat in the position where he used to send troops, dozing off with his head propped up, her clothes were thin, and she could see that she was not injured. He was relieved at first, although he had heard that nothing had happened to her, and he was not relieved until he saw the person intact with his own eyes.

He then turned his attention to the other two men, men with expressionless faces. There is also Jiang Huan, who is obviously controlled by others. In the blink of an eye, he guessed who was to blame for tonight's riot.

Jiang Huan stared at a pair of phoenix eyes, stared viciously at Xue Rui, who had just come in from outside, gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Shining, let them release this princess, otherwise you will look good!" ”

Yu Shu was woken up by her voice, and when she opened her eyes and saw Xue Rui coming, she stretched her waist, rubbed her neck, pointed at Jiang Huan, and said to him, "You can be regarded as back." Here. I caught the thief who set the fire, what do you say to do with it? But he didn't take the initiative to mention Jiang Huan's assassination of her. It's not that she is jealous of Jiang Huan's identity, but she doesn't want to say it to embarrass Xue Rui.

Xue Rui ignored Jiang Huan's fire-breathing gaze and walked to Yu Shu's side. Unfastened the cloak and put it over her. A hand on her shoulder. The gesture was gentle, "It was my inconsiderate thought that frightened you." ”

Yu Shu patted the back of his hand. Say you're fine.

"Liu Shining!" Jiang Huan was angered by the intimate behavior of the two of them, and took the case, but was sat back by Gu Hong behind her by pressing her shoulder, how could she have suffered this humiliation, turned her head and glared at him angrily and said: "Dog slave, do you dare to compare with me outside, see if I don't cut off your dog paws." ”

Gu Hong looked down at her and said, "You are not my opponent. "Let her have one hand, and she won't be able to beat him.

"Phew, you were the one who sneaked up behind before, and you have the ability to let go of me and fight again!"

Gu Hong ignored her this time, but when he looked at her, the words "defeated under his hands" were clearly written in his eyes. Jiang Huan was annoyed, hating that she was being controlled by others at the moment, and she couldn't beat this bastard, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she looked back at Xue Rui and Yu Shu, laughed angrily, and asked them:

"One of you is a minister of the dead country, and the other is a general of the enemy country, and you actually fornicate in private, aren't you afraid that you will be scolded by the whole world if the matter spreads?"

Xue Rui and Yu Shu glanced at each other, and they both saw from each other's eyes that they were fearless and unrepentant. Xue Rui said: "The eldest princess did not attend tonight's celebration banquet, I don't know the king's words, the former dynasty Si Tianjian mentioned that Yu Shu has the talent of the world, as long as she is willing to return to Dayan, she will definitely treat each other with courtesy, and she will not blame the past." ”

Hearing this, Yu Shu's eyes flashed, and he said with the same positive color: "As long as Emperor Dayan promises not to kill Emperor Chongzhen, I am willing to bow down and be a minister." ”

The two sang and harmonized, completely ignoring Jiang Huan's threat. The two of them want to stand side by side and stand in front of the world openly, how can they not plan for the future.

"You, you-" Jiang Huan's eyes turned red angrily, and she pointed at them and scolded: "Blame me for having no beads, I didn't see through the relationship between you two dog men and women earlier!" ”

Yu Shu didn't like to hear this, squinted at her, and sneered: "What is the relationship between the two of us, it's not your turn to point fingers." The princess trespassed into the camp and was caught by me for arson in the middle of the night, and you have no remorse and blindly mess around, thinking that this will be perfunctory? ”

Xue Rui vaguely guessed that Jiang Huan was absent from the palace banquet tonight, and sneaked into the barracks not just to set a fire, so he asked sharply, "Why are you here tonight?" ”

Jiang Huan disdained to hide it: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fires, why do you say I came?" Yu Shu didn't complain, but she admitted it herself, she came to set fire to kill people, as for who she wanted to kill, it was self-evident.

Yu Shu suddenly felt the palm on his shoulder sink, and when he looked up, he saw Xue Rui's face gloomy, his handsome facial features condensed with a sense of anger, his eyes glowed with red light, and the whole person was so angry that he looked like a black-faced god, so it was not terrifying. She didn't know that people who have been on the battlefield for a long time have a lot of blood on their hands, and they are used to seeing dead people, so they will inevitably be infected with ferocity, and if they don't get angry, they will be angry, and if they are angry, they will be people who block and kill, and Buddhas will block and kill Buddhas.

"The princess visited the barracks at night, how many people know? Who are the accomplices? The more annoyed Xue Rui was, the calmer he became.

"No one knows, it's just killing someone, what kind of helper do I need." Jiang Huan said frankly, she was sure that they couldn't help her. That's right, as the eldest princess of Dayan, she wants to kill a minister who has died in the country, even if someone dies, who would dare to let her pay for her life, besides, she is defeated, and the person is not dead.

Xue Rui lowered his head and asked Yu Shu, "Who else has seen her?" ”

Yu Shu thought about it for a while, "At that time, everyone was fighting the fire, and no one noticed that I had arrested her, only my two maids, and then Gu Hong, my dead soldier." She said Gu Hong's identity, and she was not sure whether Xue Rui had recognized that Gu Hong was the sword bearer who followed Zhu Muzhao on the night of Shengyun Guan.

"That means no one has seen her except you, and that's fine." Xue Rui nodded, turned around and walked to a row of weapon racks in the corner. He took a heavy sword and pulled it out of its scabbard.

In the tent, Yu Shu and Jiang Huan were confused by his move, Fang Jue was weird, and the next moment he saw Xue Rui striding towards Jiang Huan with his sword, raising his arm and swinging a sword, which was actually about to behead Jiang Huan!

"Wait!" Yu Shu hurriedly shouted, but her voice was not as fast as Xue Rui's sword, and in an instant, the blade was already attached to her neck. A frightened face was reflected on the sword's body.

Jiang Huan's mind was empty. opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, his eyes were full of Xue Rui's cold expression from swinging his sword, and the last thought flashed through his mind - why did he kill her!?

"Bell!"

In a moment of life and death, it was Gu Hong who stopped him. Xue Rui's sword slashed at his armguard. There was a slam on the ground. Gu Hong's face changed slightly, he didn't dare to hold it up, and he retreated with one touch. With the other hand, he picked up Jiang Huan, who had escaped death, and quickly dodged and retreated to the corner. As soon as his arm moved, the arm guard made of gold and steel shattered in half and fell to the ground, which showed that Xue Rui was powerful, and if that sword was slashed at Jiang Huan's neck, his head would fall to the ground on the spot.

Seeing this, Yu Shu hurriedly rushed forward, hugged Xue Rui's arm, and dragged him down. Although she was angry that Jiang Huan stabbed her late at night, she didn't think about putting people to death!

"Big brother, don't, stop quickly." After the reunion, after getting along for more than half a month, she didn't notice that his temper had become so irritable now, and his impulsiveness was simply terrifying.

Jiang Huan leaned on Gu Hong, her legs were weak, looking at her face like dead ashes, where was there any indifference, her eyes were red, and she asked stupidly, "You want to kill me?" ”

She thought that they had known each other for nine years, and they had fought together in weal and woe, even if he didn't have a heart for her, there was always a love for her, and in the end, it was all her wishful thinking.

Xue Rui couldn't kill her, and said without changing his face: "In my heart, Ah Shu is already my wife, since you have murderous intentions for her, how can I spare you." If you don't succeed today, it's hard to guarantee that you won't do it again in the future, and if you are a princess, you will have nothing to fear, if I don't get rid of you, there will be endless troubles. You're giving me a reason not to kill you? ”

No one knows, he and Ah Shu have been separated for five years, how many nightmares, dreaming that she is trapped in the capital, dying in this cage, and can't wait for him to pick her up. He overcame all obstacles, just to come to her one day earlier. After a lot of hardships, he finally got what he wanted, and whoever destroys it is his enemy!

Jiang Huan's face turned pale, looking at Xue Rui's eyes, as if she had only recognized him today, "If I die, the imperial brother will definitely not let you go." ”

"No one thought that I killed you," Xue Rui calmed down too much, he raised his sword and pointed at her: "After tonight, the eldest princess disappeared, and the fire in the camp outside the city was done by spies to steal secrets in the army, and these two things have nothing to do with each other." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Huan's cold hair stood up, and he couldn't lie to himself anymore Xue Rui had any affection for her, he was not scaring her, but really wanted her life!

Of course, Jiang Huan is afraid of death, her willfulness and recklessness are only because she has something to rely on, not because she doesn't have a long brain. When death came, she finally knew that she was afraid, she didn't want to die here, and cheapened this pair of dog men and women.

She wolf bèi retreated, stepped on one foot, looked back and saw Gu Hong, suddenly thought that he had saved her, and thought that his martial arts were strong and elusive, she was in a hurry, grabbed his arm, gritted her teeth and said:

"You, you escort this princess out of here, and when I return to the palace safely, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold!"

However, Gu Hong glanced at her coldly, and said in his heart: Did this stupid woman misunderstand something, if he hadn't heard his nominal master stop it just now, he wouldn't care if she was dead or alive.

"Are you too little for a thousand taels of gold?" Jiang Huan grabbed him and refused to let go, like grasping the last straw: "Okay, good, I will let the imperial brother make you an official, give you a mansion and a beauty, what else do you want, I will promise you everything!" ”

Gu Hong remained motionless, looking at Yu Shu with impatience in his eyes.

Yu Shu knew that she shouldn't laugh at this time, but Jiang Huan's stupidity at this time amused her, she chuckled, and couldn't help but joke: "Instead of begging him, the princess should beg me, as long as you bow your head and admit your mistake to me, I will consider sparing you." ”

"Humph!" Jiang Huan hated Yu Shu very much, how could she bow her head to her and admit her mistakes, it was better to die.

Xue Rui was still holding his sword, turning his head to look at Yu Shu, with an inexplicable expression: "When did you learn to be soft-hearted, if you spare her today, she will spare you in the future?" ”

Yu Shu, seeing that he was stubborn about killing Jiang Huan and wanted to eradicate future troubles for her regardless of the consequences, I have to say that she was very happy in her heart. However, she couldn't really watch him kill Jiang Huan on the spur of the moment and kill the emperor's own sister.

She stretched out her hand and pressed it on Xue Rui's wrist holding the sword, and pressed it down gently, meeting his eyes and silently stopping it. The anger in his eyes did not abate, but he still lowered his sword according to her wishes, intending to see what she was going to do.

"I'm not dead yet, you're so angry, what if I really die at her hands, what will you do?"

Xue Rui said without thinking: "I will kill her first to avenge you, and then meet you in Huangquan." "What's the point of living without her in this world.

Yu Shu unconsciously operated the Great Insight Technique, stared at him for a moment, suddenly smiled, turned his head to Jiang Huan and said: "You have seen and heard, if you want to kill me, he will avenge me, unless you kill the two of us together, you will not escape death." Let me ask you, what is the deep hatred between me and you, and I have to make trouble to the point of your life and death? ”

"I-" Jiang Huan was originally arrogant, in her opinion, she had already decided that Xue Rui was her future concubine, who wanted to kill a Yu Shu halfway, ruined her good deeds, of course it was Yu Shu's fault, she was angry in her heart, she just wanted to kill Yu Shu to relieve her hatred.

But when Yu Shu asked so seriously, she was a little speechless, what kind of hatred is it to snatch love with a knife? When she said it, it looked like she had a small belly.

Seeing her tangled, Yu Shu put away his smile and asked Xue Rui for the sword in his hand, in his deep gaze, he held up the heavy sword in both hands, walked in front of Jiang Huan, handed the hilt forward and said:

"I know you like him, but I like him more than you, and if I can't stay with him in this life, glory, wealth, fame and fortune will be useless to me. So I'll give you a chance, you can kill both of us now, lest he seek revenge on you in the future. Otherwise, please let the princess raise her noble hand and let us go, so that the lovers will eventually become married. ”

She didn't see Xue Rui's suddenly burning eyes behind her, and she didn't see the tenderness raised at the corners of his mouth, but Jiang Huan in front of her could see the dazzling smile.

"Do you think I don't dare?" Jiang Huan stretched out her hand to hold the hilt of the sword with a gloomy expression, as long as she stabbed forward a little harder, Yu Shu would not escape death, but Xue Rui, who was standing not far away, did not move, unhindered, as if he was ready to die with her.

Yu Shu let go of his hand and let Jiang Huan hold the sword and point it at her heart, not caring whether it was dead or alive at the next moment, turning around and entangled with Xue Rui's gaze, the two only had each other in their eyes, nothing else.

"Damn!" "Bang dang!"

Jiang Huan threw the sword on the ground with all her might, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Isn't it just a stinky man, when I have to be him, if you want to die together, you have to go to the lake, go to the fire, go to the poison, go to take poison!" ”

Gu Hong was startled by her sudden madness, so he looked at her a few more times, and inadvertently found that a moist trace slipped through the corners of her red eyes, which made him feel a little awkward.

Yu Shu was scolded by her but was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Does the princess still want to kill me?" ”

"If you don't kill it, you won't kill it," Jiang Huan glared at her angrily, and then glared at Xue Rui, and said angrily: "This princess is full of words, if she is murdered one day, you don't wronged me." ”

It's hard to hear, but it's true.

Yu Shu finally put his mind at ease, walked to Xue Rui's side, and persuaded him in a low voice, he hesitated for a while, after listening to her, he said to Jiang Huan: "I'll spare you once, and there will be a next time, I will not be soft." ”

After speaking, he hugged Yu Shu and left, leaving Jiang Huan and Gu Hong staring at each other.

"Since it's okay, then I'm leaving." Jiang Huan's mouth was stubborn, but in fact, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she was afraid for a while, dizzy and just wanted to leave this ghost place quickly.

Gu Hong grabbed her by the collar without a sound and pulled the person back.

"Alas! What are you holding me for, let go, you let me go! ”

"The master didn't open his mouth to let him go, you can't leave yet."

"You're blind! I didn't see the two of them leaving, why don't you let go of this princess, believe it or not, I let you unload eight pieces and feed the dogs? ”

"Hmph."

He's not afraid, stupid woman. (To be continued......)
