In the middle of the night, in a secluded and quiet courtyard in Jixian County, in a wooden house lit with dim lights, only the sound of distress was heard.

When he raised his eyes and looked inside, he saw that Chu Qiao was tied to a wooden post, struggling with the rope on his body, with a hint of uneasiness on his pretty and lovely round face, looking at the man in black in front of him, and shouting, "Who are you??" Help, help! ”

"Don't shout" The man in black said lightly, slowly took out a sharp knife, played with it flexibly between his fingers, and said softly: "I don't want to hurt you, as long as I am obedient, I can even let you go immediately"

"Do you know who I am? I am a first-class maidservant of the Assassin's Mansion, once I disappear, Madame, even the Assassin's Mansion will look for me" Chu Qiao said angrily.

"Haha, this one naturally knows, and your name is still given by Yuan Xi, and because of this, as long as you have the opportunity to get close to Yuan Xi, there is a bottle of poison here, as long as you quietly put it into Yuan Xi's meal, everything will be treated as if nothing happened, and you will even get a rich compensation" The man in black smiled.

"What!" Chu Qiao's pupils shrank, and he couldn't believe it: "You want to harm Lord Hou"

"Yes, Yuan Xi's development is too fast, it has affected my master, I can't stay, as long as you can do things well, you will have endless glory and wealth in the future"

"You are dreaming" Chu Qiao's anxious tears suddenly flowed down, and he said loudly: "Master Hou will definitely kill you"

The man in black shook his head in disappointment, slowly walked towards Chu Qiao with this dagger in his hand, looked at the pretty face and said, "Do you say that you should draw the left side first, or the right side first?"

"Whatever you want, even if I die, I will never harm the Hou Ye" Chu Qiao looked at the man in black with hatred, his big eyes full of determination.

"Haha, interesting, I heard that although Yuan Xi gave you a name, he still treats you as an ordinary maid, why are you so loyal?" The man in black smiled contemptuously.

"I was originally a maid, Hou Ye's maid" Chu Qiao said unmoved.

"It seems that I won't give you a little hardship, it's not going to work, come here" The man in black shouted outside, only to see two other men in black walk in and said respectfully: "Leader"

"Take care of her, and when you understand, come and let me know"

"No!"

Chu Qiao gritted his teeth and looked at a large water tank that was suddenly placed in front of him, his eyes were full of determination.

When the man in black left the room, he gently put down the hood, only to see a handsome and extraordinary face appear in front of him, and when he heard the sound of choking water from the house, he smiled bitterly: "Hey! Why did the consul leave such a thorny question to me! ”

"Ninth Master" At this time, a strong man ran over and said in a low voice.

"What are you doing?" asked Zhang Jiu angrily.

"The Commander-in-Chief asked you to come over"

"Got it" Zhang Jiu turned his head and glanced at the door, and left directly.

At noon the next day, in this hidden courtyard, Yuan Xi, dressed in a fancy dress, appeared under a locust tree, Zhang Nanzheng was standing aside, and Zhang Jiu knelt on one knee respectfully.

"That's it?" Yuan Xi asked softly.

"Lord Houhou, Chu Qiao is very loyal, after such a night, he can still persevere, it is already quite good, many newcomers to the black devil are far from having this perseverance, especially since she has not undergone special training" Zhang Jiu immediately replied.

"Let's take a look," Yuan Xi stood up expectantly.

"No!"

When the three of them came to the door of a wooden box, Zhang Jiu gently opened a small hidden wooden window, and after Yuan Xi looked in, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that Chu Qiao's hair was tied to a wooden pillar, and there was still a trace of blood on his body, which was caused by whipping at that time.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi's face turned cold, and he looked at Zhang Nandao: "Didn't Xi mean what you mean?" ”

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this is already the lowest"

Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and for some reason, when he saw Chu Qiao's appearance, he actually felt a little distressed.

"Open the door immediately," Yuan Xi ordered.

Zhang Jiu was taken aback, and said anxiously: "Master Hou, it's only been one day, with this scale, it takes three days to try to be loyal to the end, Chu Qiao's qualifications are excellent, and he will definitely become the ace of the black devil, why don't you wait?" ”

But soon a slap had already whipped Zhang Jiu away, and Zhang Nan came to Zhang Jiu with a vicious face, and said without the slightest emotion: "Little Jiuzi, have you forgotten the first rule I taught you back then?" Hou Ye's words are the truth of the black devil, you are not qualified to give an opinion, did you violate it just now? Do you want the sixth to train you?"

Hearing the words "Lao Liu", Zhang Jiu's face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Master Hou, I was wrong."

"Forget it, open the door" Yuan Xi waved his hand, this is not to blame Zhang Jiu, he feels that he is wrong.

After the door was opened, Yuan Xi rushed in, looked at Chu Qiao who lowered his head, and hurriedly picked up the pale little face, and said, "Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao"

Chu Qiao's eyes opened with difficulty, and after seeing Yuan Xi in a daze, he muttered: "Master Hou, I won't hurt you if I die."

Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and directly tore off the rope with one hand, and Chu Qiao, who was about to fall down, hugged her whole person, and said, "Go find the doctor."

"No!" Zhang Jiu immediately rushed out.

Looking at Chu Qiao, who was covered in injuries, Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "Zhang Nan, you are right, Xi has a state of 200,000 soldiers, a full of military generals, and there are no less than 10,000 secret spies, there is no need to let the women around him work so hard, this matter should be said by Xi Xi, give up the following series of plans for Chu Qiao"

"Hou Ye is wise," Zhang Nan nodded with a smile.

Around dusk, Chu Qiao slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Yuan Xi sitting on the side, he shook his head with a wry smile, "It's an illusion again"

Yuan Xi smiled and said gently: "Chu girl, it's not an illusion, it's okay?" ”

Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, quickly glanced around, and found that he was no longer in the small black room, he immediately threw himself into Yuan Xi's arms and cried loudly, "Master Hou, you are finally here, Chu Qiao thought that he would not be able to see you anymore."

"A group of clowns who jump off the beam, they can't afford to turn up the wind and waves here" Yuan Xi stroked Chu Qiao's hair and said a lie, it is better to hide such a thing forever, otherwise it will probably hurt Chu Qiao's heart.

"I knew that Master Hou was the most powerful," Chu Qiao said happily.

Looking at the very attractive little face, Yuan Xi said softly: "You suffered this time, I heard that when you were tortured, you were very loyal, and after you go back, someone will compensate you, don't you like to learn martial arts?" Let's learn from Lingqi in the future! ”

"Really," Chu Qiao said excitedly.

"Of course, in addition, Xi is giving you the identity of a godsister" Yuan Xi smiled lightly, he had already thought about it, after this incident, he could completely seal her in the name of Chu Qiao's loyal protector, so that not only could calm the turmoil in the Assassin's Mansion, but also make those who targeted her completely honest.

As for the current black devil, there is no shortage of Chu Qiao, since he is reluctant to let her suffer in his heart, then forget it.

Half an hour later, Yuan Xi stepped out of this courtyard, only to see Liu Quan running over, and said excitedly: "Lord Hou, just now quickly reported that Lord Tian had officially entered the territory of King Zuo Xian of the Huns three days ago, and King Zuo Xian did not refuse, but opened the road directly, at the latest today, or tomorrow, the two parties will officially meet to discuss Miss Cai's return to Han."

"Okay" Yuan Xi nodded, and after a flash of light in his eyes, he said, "How old is Miss Cai this year?"

"It seems that there are six out of twenty," Liu Quan replied uncertainly.

"Immediately send an order to the Government Affairs Hall to compile to me the list of all officials between the ages of twenty-seven and thirty-two and the generals in my Youzhou," Yuan Xi ordered.

"No!"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, it took so much effort, although he mainly pitied this talented woman, but he still had to share half of the fruits of this, if Cai Wenji married an official under his command, then this fame would belong to him sooner or later, the speed must be fast, he must rush in front of his father, choose a good match, and go to the book, otherwise his father will give him a marriage, and he will have no chance.
