Chapter 317: Xiao Yan's whereabouts
Cloud City Yunshui Inn.
Li Yuanxiao has been recuperating here for three days, and the injuries on his body are not serious, and he can basically get out of bed and move. Li Yuanxiao packed up his things and was about to leave the inn when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Guest, a girl said she wanted to see you."
"Girl?!" Li Yuanxiao muttered it again in his mouth, thinking in his heart that only Yan Zixi knew about his residence, could it be that Yan Zixi was here?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanxiao ran to the back of the door with joy and opened the door, but after the door opened, what caught his eye was the face that Li Yuanxiao didn't want to see.
"How are you?" Li Yuanxiao said in surprise.
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Dugu Xuerou, the eldest princess of Liang who had just met with Xiao Jingcong last night. It's just that Dugu Xuerou changed into a peasant girl's coarse linen clothes, which is not so eye-catching, but Li Yuanxiao still recognized Dugu Xuerou at a glance, and the phoenix eyes alone are unsightly.
"Can we go in and talk?" Dugu Xuerou saw Li Yuanxiao standing at the door and didn't react, so she couldn't help but ask.
Although Li Yuanxiao was very reluctant, he still welcomed Dugu Xuerou in, and then asked the shopkeeper to go out to busy him.
After closing the door, Li Yuanxiao asked about Dugu Xuerou with some impatience, "Say, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"Hmph, no wonder after so many days, you haven't moved at all in Cloud City, it turns out that you are injured?" Dugu Xuerou glanced at the bloody gauze scattered in the corner, and seemed to see through Li Yuanxiao's injury at once.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really observant, and I really bothered you." Li Yuanxiao responded expressionlessly.
Dugu Xuerou didn't care about it, because she didn't come here to find Li Yuanxiao this time because of Dugu Yunliu and Beiliang's attack on Cloud City, but for Yan Zixi's matter.
Thinking of this, Dugu Xuerou asked Li Yuanxiao in a cold voice, "Li Yuanxiao, you should know, what am I coming to you for this time?" ”
Li Yuanxiao pretended not to know, shook his head slightly, and replied: "Yuanxiao is stupid, please ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to give a famous word!" ”
"Hmph, Li Yuanxiao, don't pretend to be confused for me there! Let me ask you, what about Yan Zixi? Where did you get that little slut Yan Zixi? Dugu Xuerou tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, stared at Li Yuanxiao in front of her with cold eyes, and asked through gritted teeth.
Li Yuanxiao's face showed a hint of surprise when he heard this, and he deliberately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Her Royal Highness the eldest princess say this?" Where is Yan Zixi, how will I know? ”
"You don't know? Don't pretend to be garlic! Li Yuanxiao, do you think this princess is so easy to deceive? You caught Yan Zixi's dead girl before, and now you sent her to Cloud City and handed her back into Xiao Jingcong's hands, you think that if you do this, Yan Zixi's little slut will be grateful to you and treat you differently, don't be ......"
Before the word "dream" could be spoken, Li Yuanxiao ignored the injury on his arm, grabbed Dugu Xuerou and clasped her wrist tightly.
"Li Yuanxiao, what do you want to do? How dare you be rude to Princess Ben? In the face of Li Yuanxiao's sudden attack, Dugu Xuerou was also a little flustered, which didn't seem to be what he expected, so it was inevitable that he was a little at a loss.
Li Yuanxiao had a dark face, his face was very ugly, with a hint of anger, and warned Dugu Xuerou in front of him, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, if you say that Miss Zixi is a slut in front of me again, beware of me screwing off your head!" After speaking, a powerful momentum rushed out into the sky, and boundless killing intent emanated from his body.
At such a close distance, Dugu Xuerou could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from Li Yuanxiao's body, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and even her voice became a little unnatural, "Li ...... Li Yuanxiao...... You let go of me......"
Li Yuanxiao didn't answer, he directly threw off Lonely Xue Rou, and then picked up his bags and planned to leave here.
"Stop, Li Yuanxiao!" Dugu Xuerou was so angry, she didn't expect Li Yuanxiao to dare to do this to herself, how could he endure it?
It's okay for a Xiao Jingcong to treat him like this, and now even this Li Yuanxiao is like this, and Dugu Xuerou's anger was also ignited at this moment.
"Li Yuanxiao, I warn you, if you dare to take half a step out of this door today, I will immediately let Yan Zixi know about the conspiracy between you and this palace!" Dugu Xuerou gritted her teeth and threatened Li Yuanxiao again.
Li Yuanxiao suddenly laughed out loud, and after laughing, his tone became extremely cold, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, now that the matter has come to this, do you think I still care about this?" If you want to expose it, please take care of it, I won't be with you! After dropping these words, Li Yuanxiao packed his bags, opened the door, and left the house without looking back.
Only Dugu Xuerou stood in place stunned, with a blank face, and after a long time, Dugu Xuerou recovered from the shock, and in an instant, her silver teeth gritted "gurgle" and sounded, "Li Yuanxiao, this palace will definitely not let you have a good time!" ”
…… Soaring Chinese
Thousands of miles away, the capital of Xiao State, the residence of the second prince of Beijing.
Xiao Yuxian, the second prince of Da Xiao, was sitting on a high seat drinking tea, and a masked spy kneeling in the hall was reporting something to him.
After Xiao Yuxian listened, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face, and then he waved his hand and asked the spy to step back and accept the reward.
At this time, the second princess also walked out from behind the curtain, and when she saw her husband smiling happily, she hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Husband, when did you become so happy?"
"Madame came just in time, I just learned of a great happy event...... Xiao Yuxian called his wife, and then leaned into his ear and said.
After hearing this, the second princess was also overjoyed, "Is this really the case?" It seems that Xiao Jingcong's qi is exhausted, haha, I'm afraid it won't last long! ”
"Hmph, as long as Xiao Jingcong dies, no one in the entire Xiao Kingdom will be able to hinder me anymore!" Xiao Yuxian's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, as if everything was already under his control.
After saying that, he walked alone to the backyard of the mansion and came to the underground prison.
Walking down the steps, the dark dungeon held a tortured imhuman-like man.
If Xiao Jingcong was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this man was none other than Xiao Yan, who had rushed back from the northern border pass to report to Xiao Jingcong and report the military situation - that Xiao Jingcong's most trusted and capable subordinate.
When the prison guards in the dungeon saw Xiao Yuxian coming, they hurriedly woke up from their sleep, and then knelt in front of Xiao Yuxian and saluted him.
"See His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
"Hmph, why did he pass out?" Xiao Yuxian glanced coldly at Xiao Yan, who was tied up in the dungeon, and snorted.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qiqi, according to your orders, we whipped and tortured him day and night, but this guy refused to betray Xiao Jingcong, nor did he want to tell any military information, he has been fighting for several days, even a fierce beast can't support it, let alone just an ordinary person, it's normal to pass out." The prison officer truthfully reported to Xiao Yuxian.
"Really?" Xiao Yuxian stretched out his hand and plucked his ears, and snorted lightly, "Go, splash him with cold water to wake him up, this prince has something to say to him." ”
"Yes!"
When the prison guard heard this, he immediately went outside and fetched a bucket of cold water, and then poured it all on Xiao Yan's head.
"Boom la la !!"
After a bucket of cold water was splashed down, Xiao Yan subconsciously shivered, and then slowly opened his blood-colored eyes, and his blurred vision gradually became clear.
"Don't struggle, Xiao Yan, these shackles are made of cold iron, even if a martial arts master comes, he can't break free, let alone a little general." Xiao Yuxian said smugly.
"Xiao Yuxian, you bastard with wolf ambitions, for the sake of your own power, you want to ignore the entire Great Xiao, if you become the king of the Great Xiao, won't the Great Xiao be forgotten on you, a despicable and shameless person?!" Although Xiao Yan had been tortured for a long time and had no strength in his body, he still held his breath and scolded there when he saw Xiao Yuxian in front of him.
Xiao Yuxian showed a trace of anger on his face when he heard this, and immediately glanced at the prison guard next to him, the prison guard played a clever blow, and suddenly he would understand, picked up the leather whip hanging next to the cage, opened the cell door and walked in, and Xiao Yan's body was beaten badly.
After more than a dozen whips were drawn, there were more than a dozen new scars under Xiao Yan's tattered clothes, and the flesh and blood were blurred, sticking together with the fabric, making people's scalps tingle for a while.
Then Xiao Yan didn't scream from beginning to end, as if he had long been accustomed to such torture.
"Hahahaha, fight, why don't you fight! Keep fighting, if you have the ability, you will kill me! Xiao Yan suddenly laughed maniacally, he was bent on death, he had no fear at all, maybe death was a relief for him.
However, Xiao Yuxian seemed to see his intentions, and responded with a sneer: "Xiao Yan, don't worry, I will never let you die so easily." Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, the one you respect the most, General Xiao Jingcong, had already led his troops to the Northern Frontier a month ago to fight against the combined forces of Northern Liang and Yuan Xia! ”
"What, what did you say?!" After Xiao Yan heard Xiao Jingcong's news, he immediately became calm, and hurriedly asked: "General Xiao, how is he, tell me quickly!" ”
"What, now I know I'm nervous and scared? Very well, I just love the look of fear on your face! ”
