Chapter 227: Help

No one could imagine that the queen mother said something secret in Xiao Li's ear, and when the secret blurted out, Xiao Li was also shocked, although this time there was a lot of risk, Xiao Li could not resist the disrespect, she could only be loyal to her master.

Compared with the smart one, Zhi Lan prefers the honest one, at least the honest one is easy to show his feet in front of his eyes when he wants to do something in private, so it is conducive to manipulation, but once the smart person wants to hide something, Zhi Lan will be difficult to detect the clues, and maybe she will be betrayed by the people around the smart people. The people around him are the most reliable, but also the most dangerous, Yan Qi really understands this, so he chose Xiaoli for Zhilan. However, he didn't know that his action was also pushing his own dangerous intentions into the fire pit.

After all, Zhilan and Yan Qi are very often of the same mind.

It was almost the sky that revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the bloody battle in the palace was roughly over. After the end of the battle, Yan Qi came to report.

"Queen Mother, the Xun people were wiped out, and only the remnants of the enemy led by the general and his remnants escaped from our hands, but a few of them were highly poisonous, and I am afraid they will not be able to go far."

Yan Qi deliberately emphasized the 'Xun people', in order to facilitate the peek into where the thoughts of the people in front of him are now. In the end, this Zhilan often does things that are unexpected, do you want to say that Yan Qi fully believes her now? Not really. Allegiance does not mean belief, it is just that the two are temporarily on the same side and have to fight together.

"Poisonous? How can you be poisonous? ”

"Of course, it's because on the eve of the battle, the blades of our Yin soldiers were smeared with venom, since the Xun people don't have long eyes and have to come to gnaw on our hard bones, our Yin people naturally have to catch them off guard and kill them without leaving a piece of armor. The venom is deadly, and in less than three hours they will die in the middle of the road, and they will probably not be able to escape from our Yin people's territory. ”

Yan Qi has always emphasized the positions of the two parties, Zhi Lan only frowned at first, but then she didn't even frown anymore, inexplicably covering her face, she seemed to suddenly don't care about anything.

"Really? Then you really have a heart, fortunately, this time you have prepared first, otherwise the Yin Palace will definitely fall into turmoil again. ”

Zhi Lan didn't care, she just continued to stack her gaze on the sleeping face of the Son of Heaven, and ignored Yan Qi anymore. Despite this, she also knew that Yan Qi must be watching her expression at this time, wanting to see if she would still have compassion for Sui Jing now, Zhi Lan would not expose her emotions in front of people, especially before Yan Qi, this kind of secret emotion is impossible for others to know except for Xiao Li.

After staring at it for a long time, Yan Qi finally opened his mouth. Maybe it was because Zhi Lan's expression was too indifferent, so bizarre, so indifferent that it was weird, but it made Yan Qi suspicious and had to ask on the spot.

"Queen Mother, aren't you worried about General Sui's life? If it weren't for him, you would have died at your hands in the morning. ”

Hearing this, Zhilan did not change her expression, and Ran Ran looked back and replied; "Worried, this palace is naturally still worried, after all, after so many years of affection, this palace can't be as ruthless as you. However, this palace is now the queen of the Yin Palace, the palace can distinguish the position, although they are compatriots of the palace, but they are also the enemies of the Yin country, the palace will not kill them personally, but the palace will not prevent you from killing, it is a fool to be captured, life and death victory or defeat is not a common thing in the army, and the palace will not beak anything. Even if Sui Jing dies in the middle of the road, it is the result of their own self-inflicted, and this palace can't help. ”

seems to fall on deaf ears, but in fact, Zhilan's heart is more anxious than anyone else. But in order not to make the people in front of her suspicious, Zhilan could only pretend to be calm, in order to win Yan Qi's trust and buy time for Xiaoli's departure.

After these words fell, Yan Qi stared at Zhi Lan for a long time, and Zhi Lan also looked back at him, and their eyes were staggered in the condensed air.

In the end, the first to break this mysterious atmosphere was still Zhilan.

"What? Do you not believe what Hongu is saying now? Yan Qi, if you have any doubts, you can confide them all, this palace doesn't like to be like you palace people who are always surging underneath, but you don't make your words clear. This palace has always liked to be straightforward, and you don't have to secretly cast suspicious eyes, this palace is straightforward and open, not afraid of your suspicions, but at the same time disgusted with your actions at all times. ”

Zhi Lan was obviously out of luck, and seemed to be despising the actions of the person in front of her, but in fact, she was just covering up her own hasty mood. Whoever is opposite to Yan Qi's dry well-like eyes, even if there is no weakness in his heart, he will inexplicably feel cold and jealous, and in the end, innocent people seem to have done something wrong. It's a pity that Zhilan is not innocent in this matter.

When the words fell, Yan Qi instantly revealed a decent smile.

"I'm sorry, it's a faux pas, and I hope that the queen has a lot of you, and I want to blame you for your unintentional actions."

"An apology can make up for your mistakes? Hmph, Yan Qi, you have to remember that this palace is not the head of Qingwulou now, but the queen of this Great Yin Palace, no matter what your former identity was, now you are under this palace, this palace hopes that you will not show such an uncomfortable expression in the future. Do you know that some people are originally of the same mind as Yin Gong, if you are suspicious all day long, you have to cast suspicion, and the former heart may be able to quietly make a difference in the future. ”

"Yes, I am clear, I will definitely keep in mind your teachings today, and I will never forget them, but at the same time, I sincerely hope that what you said today is indeed true, and there is no adulteration in it."

"It's natural, Hongu never lies, and never lies to smart people."

"Then I'll leave it at that."

The confrontation between the two ended in mutual temptation, and Zhilan couldn't be clearer, even in the end, Yan Qi didn't fully believe in herself, but as long as she could win temporary trust, it would be a huge victory for Zhilan. And as long as Xiaoli can successfully do what the queen told her, Zhilan no longer needs Yan Qi's trust.

When Yan Qi left, Zhi Lan took a deep breath, but her thoughts had jumped into the distance.

At the same time, the Yindi mountains and forests.

Sui Jing has been absconding in the territory of Yin with the remnants of Xun State, and now for them, the jackals and wild wolves in the mountains and forests are not afraid, and the only thing that people are afraid of is the pursuers of Yin State.

At this time, they all collapsed in some unknown wild mountain, and could be taken by the beasts that infested here at any time.

"General...... They have poison on their blades......"

"I know......

The soldier who spoke was already covered in purple and blue, and the answerer, Sui Jing, also had a terrifying face, and no one was healthy.

"General, you run away first, in case there is still a chance to live, we can also delay time for you here."

"Yes! General, run away! The farther you run, the better! The growth of Xun Kingdom now depends on you alone! ”

"Nonsense! How can I resist the huge power of the Yin Kingdom with my own strength! If there is no contribution from every soldier, today's Xun country is afraid that it will have been carved up by the countries next to it! General Ben tells you that all of us are equal, and no one is superior or inferior! If you can't live today, this general won't live in the world! ”

"General......

In the face of Sui Jing's bold words, the remnants of the group of soldiers were moved in every way, but they saw that their tears kept surging down their eyes, and then hit Ziqing's face.

"A group of strong soldiers, what a system! Don't wipe your tears at every turn like a woman, we are still alive, as long as we are alive, there is hope, even if there is only a glimmer of life, who dares to be sure that this glimmer of life will not be realized? ”

Sui Jing endured the severe pain caused by the poison in his body, endlessly encouraging the people in front of him. Although he knew that his life was short, as a general, he still couldn't bring the negative emotions in his heart to everyone, which was the minimum bottom line, even if everyone's life was about to disappear on this land.

At this moment, Sui Jing, the dying man, unconsciously remembered the figure of Zhi Lan, although he knew that it was impossible to see each other in this life, Sui Jing still held a pitiful delusion, wanting to see Zhi Lan again before he died, even if it was just a glance. If time could be turned back, this fearless general might still choose to capture the Yin Palace without hesitation, because just thinking that Zhilan becoming his wife was enough to keep Sui Jing awake all night, how could he stick to Xundi and not resist fate? At least after the resistance, despair can sweep in, if you just sit back and wait to die, then Sui Jing will be completely tormented by the lovesickness in the bottom of his heart into a resentful person full of depression. Yes, isn't the most painful thing in this world lovesickness? It would not be a good thing if the present death could be completely freed from this longing for so long.

With this in mind, Sui Jing subconsciously closed his eyes and silently waited for the judgment of hell.

However, Hell didn't want to contain him for the time being, and the next moment, Sui Jing, who was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly felt some kind of touch, as if someone was suddenly dragging him on the edge of Hell.

I don't know if it's an illusion or reality, Sui Jing suddenly woke up in such a mysterious feeling, at this time, the eyes in front of him were really a hand, a girl's hand, looking up along this hand, a beautiful woman's face jumped into the bottom of the eye.

"You're the general! Xiaoli has finally found you! ”

At this time, Sui Jing is almost shallow in consciousness, but his gaze can still clearly describe the image of the person in front of him. But seeing that the woman who didn't know the origin was panting, it seemed that she was rushing all the way here, because Sui Jing was weak, so he didn't want to speculate too much about whether the person in front of him was coming with malice or good intentions, anyway, he was a dying person, and everything was no different.

Without waiting for Sui Jing to say anything, Xiao Li hurriedly took out a large bundle of items from his arms, including herbs and bottles and jars, all of which looked like healing things.

Seeing this, Sui Jing fell into a complete confusion. Why did this woman come to this point? And why do you want to find yourself, someone who doesn't know her at all? And why did the bottles and cans on the ground prepare in their arms in advance? All of this is puzzling to Sui Jing, but he vaguely feels that the glimmer of life he said seems to be about to come true.

With some cautious hope, Sui Jing finally opened his mouth.

"You...... Who are you......"

He had thought of Zhi Lan, but such delusions finally made Sui Jing extinguish in his heart.

"The slave maid is the queen's mother's person, and the queen mother ordered the slave maid to save you."

As the words fell, Xiao Liden stuffed the pill into everyone's mouth, and immediately applied the plaster to their bodies, looking particularly anxious.
