Tang Xi sat in the carriage, the carriage ran wildly all the way, her internal organs were about to shift, and she couldn't tell the heart to see where she was going to be taken, I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally stabilized, and she was also tossed and had no strength, fortunately she lay motionless, anyway, the other party did not kill her directly, at least it means that her life is not in danger for the time being.

And the third prince, thinking about it, didn't know his importance to the emperor, so he deliberately betrayed himself, and estimated that he was just dissatisfied with her as a member of the royal family of Daqian but wanted to make peace, and felt that she had embarrassed Daqian, and the emperor would be angry when he got the news, and he would know his importance at that time, and he was not afraid that he would not do his best to save her.

The carriage traveled for a long time before it finally stopped, and then Tang Xi felt in a daze that someone had taken her out of the carriage, she barely opened her eyes and saw that it seemed to be just a ruined temple in the wilderness, and those people took her in and placed her on a broken grass pile, and then did not tie her up, leaving only two people to take care of her, and the rest of the people left.

Probably thinking that Tang Xi's face was really pale and ugly, one of them handed her a glass of water, "Drink a little, I'll send it later." ”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that the kidnapper's temper was quite good, and then took the water cup and thanked him, drank a glass of water, and his spirit finally eased up a lot, she glanced at the person who had just handed her water, and said in a weak voice, "Who are you?" What are you trying to do with me here? ”

The man's face remained unchanged, "The girl will find out later." ”

Tang Xi didn't speak anymore, but he also had points in his heart, he only thought that the other party was a robber before, but now when he thinks back to the skills of those people and the cooperation between each other, he feels that there is a bit of a problem, plus the other party is not arrogant when he speaks at this time, which is completely different from the rudeness of the bandits in Black Eagle Village, she faintly felt that the other party was probably coming for her, and the robbery was just to hide people's eyes.

So she carefully thought in her heart about who would want to do something to her, but she didn't have a clue when she thought about it, so she could only give up, anyway, the other party also said that she would know later, it was better to save some effort and wait for the person behind her to appear.

As soon as the spirit relaxed, soon she fell asleep in a daze, this sleep was very heavy, when she woke up, it was already dark, and there was no one to see in the darkness all around, she struggled to get up, and when she moved, she found that she was covered with a quilt at some point, and the material was unexpectedly soft and slippery to the touch......

Surprised, she looked around and asked, "Is there anyone?" ”

"You're awake."

The simple three words made her heart twitch, she never thought that the person who arrested her and came here turned out to be him.

In the midst of the chaos in his heart, a fire suddenly lit up, and then Tang Xi saw Huo Jinyan holding a lamp in his hand and walking towards him step by step.

He walked very slowly, every step seemed to knock on her heart, she couldn't help but shrink a little, her eyes subconsciously looked away, and then stabilized her mind before she said lightly, "I haven't seen you for a few months, I didn't expect adults to start a robber?" ”

Huo Jinyan stopped in front of her, looked at the top of her head condescendingly, and was silent for a long time.

This long silence made Tang Xi a little flustered, she knew that since Huo Jinyan had arrested her, it was certain that he had already doubted her, since this was the case, if he questioned directly, she would probably feel normal, but now that he didn't say anything, it made her even more flustered.

So at last she couldn't help but raise her head, and then she crashed into his eyes as deep as an ancient well, the night was dark, only the beating fire in his hand was reflected in his eyes, as bright as stars.

For a moment, she saw a deep longing in his eyes, and ...... Complex and intense love.

She seemed to be burned by that gaze, and instantly looked away, but the beating heart in her chest could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Tang Xi." After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and called her.

Obviously it was very common to call her name, but she inexplicably heard the lingering meaning from it, and her ears began to burn inexplicably, and just as she was thinking crankily, guessing how he would question her next, he continued, "Are you hungry? I'll let you warm the food, do you want to eat it now? ”

"Huh?" Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in astonishment, "Uh...... Oh...... Good. ”

Since she decided to go to Fengyuan, she had imagined countless scenes of them meeting again, and countless of his reactions, but she never imagined that when they met again, they would be in such a dilapidated temple, and the first thing he said to her was not a question and a reproach, but a ...... Are you hungry?

When she lost her mind, Huo Jinyan had already brought in the food, the dishes were very rich, and every dish was her favorite food...... Tang Xi loves to eat, in those days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she thought that he never cared about her, but now, he knows what she likes to eat.

Eating the warm and delicious meal, Tang Xi's eyes were red inexplicably, the food was stuffed into her mouth and she couldn't taste anything at all, she chewed mechanically, trying not to let her tears fall.

“…… But not to your taste? He sat across from her, frowning.

Tang Xi hurriedly shook his head, "No...... It's delicious. ”

He seemed relieved, "That's good, I remember that you love to eat these, and I thought that when you came back from a trip to Daqian, your taste would change." ”

Tang Xi's movements paused, and the food in his mouth suddenly couldn't swallow, his sparse and ordinary tone, as if she had just gone to Daqian to play around and came back, as if nothing had changed between them.

She closed her eyes and put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Huo Jinyan, I am now the princess of Daqian, why did you rob me here today?" After a pause, she raised her eyes, with a solemn look in her eyes, "Do you know that as the prime minister of Fengyuan, if this matter is known by others, it will definitely cause war between the two countries?" ”

Huo Jinyan looked away from her gaze, and his tone carried some indescribable meaning, word by word, "I have always been this prime minister just because of you." ”

Her heart throbbed, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and he really ...... Still knowing, he doesn't even need to ask anymore, he is already so sure.

In this way, she didn't need to refute anymore, because he wouldn't believe in herself anymore, so she pursed her lips slightly, "Huo Jinyan, aren't you the prime minister to show your ambitions?" What does this have to do with me? ”

Huo Jinyan trembled slightly, even if he was sure in his heart, but when he heard her answer, which was almost a direct admit, his limbs and bones still instantly swelled with a strange joy, she ...... Really back.

"I didn't go to Beijing to take the exam, I didn't want to gain fame." His voice sounded in a deep voice, calmly recounting the past that Tang Xi didn't know, "Because of the pursuit of the enemy, I fled all the way to Fengyuan's capital, I have never been a student rushing to take the exam, even Huo Jinyan's identity is fake." ”

Tang Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at him stunned, "You say...... What the? Her tone was full of disbelief, and then she seemed to suddenly think of something, she looked at Huo Jinyan tightly, "That ......"

Huo Jinyan curled the corners of his lips, "I know what you want to ask, this person called Huo Jinyan was killed by me, and then his identity became mine." The expression on his face was cold, and his voice was even colder, "I met this man by accident when I was on the run, and I learned from him that his parents and brothers were all dead, and he was a real orphan, so I chose him." ”

At this time, Huo Jinyan made her very unfamiliar, and the coldness exuded from her body made her shiver instantly, "Huo Jinyan ......"

As if sensing her emotions, he turned to her, "I said a long time ago, I have never been a good person, and in order to survive, I can easily take someone else's life." ”

Tang Xi's heart is very chaotic now, he just wanted to stimulate him and part ways with him completely, but he didn't expect that he would be such a shocking secret as soon as he opened his mouth!

His words continued, "So I didn't intend to be an official, just to avoid the enemy, but I met you that day...... I recognized the person who embarrassed me that day, his father was a second-grade official, and it was not difficult to guess the identity of the person who could make him afraid of him for a moment, so I instantly guessed that I met the emperor and princess of Fengyuan. ”

It seemed that because he remembered something good, he had a warm smile on his face, "The innocent smile on your face at that time made me suddenly feel that Feng Yuan is probably really a beautiful country, and a princess can be so innocent...... It's really desirable, so the ghost sent the gods, and I decided to enter the court as an official. ”

"When I first became an official, I only adhered to my duty, because I knew that those enemies would never have thought that I would become an official of Fengyuan, and I knew that I could finally get rid of them completely."

"Until...... You became the princess, see you again, your face is full of hard majestic, you can't see the innocence of the past, inexplicably, I feel irritable, I decided to enter the office because of your smile, but after I entered the office, you changed, which made me feel cheated, so I want to work hard, try to make you become what you used to be...... Then there was the unconscious sinking of the mud feet, and I stepped into this quagmire and could never get out of it. ”

"Feng Xi, I can't get out for a long time, why can you just walk away and try to get rid of me completely?" His tone was very light, but with unspeakable stubbornness, and his eyes also became a little red, "I wanted to let you go, but you lied to me, you say...... What shall I do with you? ”

“…… I'm sorry. After listening to his words, Tang Xi felt all kinds of complicated emotions surging in his heart, but in the end, all he could say seemed to be this "I'm sorry".

"Huo Jinyan, I'm sorry for letting you meet me, I'm sorry for letting me disrupt your life...... But everything in the past has gone nowhere, you and I have no chance, why should you be persistent? You should have thought that the purpose of my trip to Fengyuan was to Feng Lie......"

Even though her heart was sour and unbearable, Tang Xi also had to say this, she still needed to strive to let herself live for a few more years, if she just left with Huo Jinyan, what she could get was only a short year, what should Huo Jinyan do when the time comes? Instead of enjoying the moment irresponsibly, it is better not to give him a glimmer of hope! Go your own way, go by yourself, she shouldn't tie Huo Jinyan's life anymore!

"Feng Lie...... He's your brother, are you going to marry him? ”

“…… I have long said that we are not biological siblings...... So why not? ”

"Huh...... But you are not the princess of Daqian, so what is your purpose for doing things for Daqian? ”

“…… Revenge, Feng An has trampled my life so badly, shouldn't I have hatred in my heart? Everything I did in my previous life was enough to repay his nurturing grace, and since God gave me a new life in this life, why can't I avenge myself in my previous life? Scold...... Whether it's the Fengyuan Dynasty or Fenglie, I will destroy them all! She had a crazy smile on her face, as if she hated Feng Yuan.

Huo Jinyan looked at her for a long time, but he couldn't find a flaw on her face, "Sending you here, what did the emperor of Daqian use to control you?" ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips, "Control?" Scold...... There is no need to control it at all, because this was originally proposed by myself, I admitted my identity, and then I went to propose to the emperor of Daqian, and imagined a grand blueprint for him, so I ...... Do you feel the need for control? ”

"I still don't believe it." He looked at her quietly, "Feng Xi I know has never been such a person. ”

"Huh...... This conversation is familiar, isn't it what I just told you? Huo Jinyan, even if you claim to have liked me for so many years, but in the end, none of us actually know anyone, why do you say such things to me? I was indeed living this life freely, but I just let me know Tang Xi's life experience, so isn't God giving me a chance? I didn't have the right to touch the high emperor in the past, let alone subvert the entire dynasty, but now I am standing behind an ambitious leader, I have such a sharp weapon, why can't I marry for revenge? ”

"Alright, I'll help you." After she said that, he said almost without hesitation, "Don't marry Feng Lie, I can help you take revenge, and it will be much easier for me to cooperate with Daqianli than you." ”

Tang Xi's heart trembled inexplicably, she could see that Huo Jinyan was serious, he was really willing to help her take revenge on Feng Yuan without hesitation, although he said that he was not Feng Yuan's person, but he had lived in Feng Yuan for more than ten years and had done so many things for Feng Yuan's people, she thought that he should have feelings for Feng Yuan, and he should have stopped her after she said such a thing, but ...... He didn't.

It's so cold-blooded that it makes people chill, but such a cold-blooded person is only affectionate to her, should he be condemned? But she is clearly the most unqualified, she changed his life, and she stimulated him to become crazy, so why should she condemn him?

"Huo Jinyan, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with you."

"From now on you will be mine, and your business will be mine."

"Huo Jinyan! I don't like you, why do you force me because of your one-man show? The words were already very serious, Tang Xi felt uncomfortable, but he had to say this, now Huo Jinyan can't listen to anything, probably the only way to stimulate him in this way can have some effect?

However, there was no imaginary injury or imaginary anger, and he smiled softly, "Huh...... If you don't like me, why do you kiss me? ”

"When will I ......" Halfway through the words, Tang Xi was stunned again, thinking of the kiss she gave after he was drunk that day, could it be ...... He wasn't asleep at all?

Huo Jinyan sneered, "Remembered? What else are you going to say next? Say it was just an accident? ”

Tang Xi was speechless, and said dejectedly for a while, "Okay, I admit that I liked you at the time, after all, no one can look at your affection for me and be indifferent, but you insisted on marrying me to Lu Zheng, which broke my heart, and at that time I decided to forget you, and since I decided to marry Feng Lie, I have never thought about you again." ”

“…… I'm sorry. Speaking of that incident, Huo Jinyan also knew that he had done something wrong, so he didn't argue in the slightest, simply admitted his mistake, and continued to say firmly, "But I don't believe you completely forgot about me." ”

Although the words were firm, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, what if she really didn't like him anymore because of that incident?

Tang Xi sighed, "Send me back, I still have my business to do." ”

"I won't send you back, since you won't listen to me, then I'll take you away from Fengyuan directly."

"Are you crazy?" Tang Xi looked at him in surprise, and subconsciously said, "Do you know that this will cause a war between Feng Yuan and Da Qian!" ”

Huo Jinyan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Wouldn't you want to do it?" ”

"......," Tang Xi pursed his lips, "This is different, what you will do will cause is only a meaningless war, but I am different...... I will let Da Qian replace Feng Yuan. ”

"Rest well, I'll take you away tomorrow." With that, Huo Jinyan got up and was about to leave.

Tang Xi saw that he couldn't listen at all, so he immediately took out the dagger he was carrying and put it on his neck, "Huo Jinyan!" If you don't let me go, I'll die before you today." ”

Huo Jinyan's body stiffened suddenly, and his gaze at her became cold, and he faintly felt a little hurt, "You just want to get rid of me like that?" Knowing that Feng Xi's death was the biggest wound in his heart, she still wanted to threaten him with death...... Perhaps, she really doesn't care about him anymore.

Tang Xi pursed his lips and said firmly, "That's right, if you insist on keeping me, I will die in front of you!" ”

His fists tightened slightly, and finally a cold smile suddenly appeared, "Okay, then you will die." ”

Tang Xi looked at his eyes, and then his hand suddenly exerted force, the sharp blade instantly cut through the skin, and red blood oozed out.

At the same time, Huo Jinyan almost immediately roared and replied, "I'll let you go!" ”

The knife in her hand didn't go any deeper.

Huo Jinyan stood there and looked at her quietly, he knew that she would not really commit suicide, but he didn't dare to gamble, and she just knew that he didn't dare to gamble, so she would threaten him so fearlessly.

A bitter smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You always know how to hurt me the most...... I'll let you go this time, but ...... to you I'm never going to let go again. ”

Looking at Huo Jinyan, who turned around to leave, she hurriedly said, "Where are you going!" ”

He paused, and his voice was sarcastic, "Don't worry, I won't regret it, and I'll take you back in a while." ”

Looking at the back of opening the door and disappearing into the night, the strength of her whole body gradually disappeared, first the dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and then the whole person also sat on the ground.

The blood on her neck soaked the collar, and she subconsciously raised her hand to touch the wound, hissing...... It really hurts, but it is not as good as half of the pain in her heart, her cold words and the threat of her life, while hurting Huo Jinyan, it is also herself who hurts.

She raised her hand and looked at her wrist, the scalded scar was now completely invisible, and at the same time that the rouge color erased this scar, it seemed that it had also erased the life and death experienced with Huo Jinyan in the past, as long as her rouge poison was still there, she would not be able to be with Huo Jinyan.

This is probably, that is, fate.

Huo Jinyan didn't break her promise, she waited for a long time, someone came, first smeared medicine on the wound on her neck, and then took her out to get into the original carriage.

Tang Xi couldn't help but look around, but he never saw that figure, so he couldn't help but ask, "What about Huo Jinyan?" ”

"The master has already taken the lead."

Tang Xi nodded, feeling a little empty in his heart.

Tang Xi, along with several truckloads of belongings, was finally sent back.

Then Tang Xi saw Huo Jinyan in Yan Ning's tent, his face was as usual, and he seemed to have a good conversation with Yan Ning, and when he saw her come in, the two stopped talking at the same time and looked at her.

Yan Ning tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Imperial sister, this is Feng Yuan's Prime Minister Huo Jinyan, and he helped save you this time." ”

"......" Tang Xi glanced at Huo Jinyan speechlessly, obviously he was the one he kidnapped, why did he become a lifesaver at this time?

Seeming to see Tang Xi's puzzlement, Yan Ning explained, "After you were kidnapped, we happened to meet Feng Yuan's mission to my big qian, and it happened that this time it was Prime Minister Huo Cheng who led the team, I heard that you were kidnapped by thieves, so I mobilized my subordinates to help find you, but I didn't expect to be really found by him, don't you thank Prime Minister Huo Cheng?" ”

"I see...... it turns out that Huo Jinyan has already left a trick, if she agrees not to marry Feng Lie and marry him, then he will send her back for such a reason, if she doesn't agree, he will take her away directly, but he thinks very comprehensively.

"Then Yan Xi thanked Prime Minister Huo Cheng here."

Huo Jinyan's face was pale, "No need to be polite." After speaking, he turned his head to Yan Ning and said, "But speaking of which, this time Princess Xi was robbed, your team suffered heavy losses, and now there are less than three hundred people left, I am afraid that it is not enough to maintain this lot of property to the capital, and now it is close to the junction with Fengyuan, the manpower here is not easy to transfer at will, I thought about it again and again, and decided to personally escort the third prince and Princess Xi to the capital, what do the three princes think?" ”

The third prince was already worried about this matter, but when he heard Huo Jinyan take the initiative to ask for help, his face immediately showed joy, "Is this true?" After a pause, he hesitated, "But wouldn't this be too troublesome for Prime Minister Huo Cheng?" ”

Huo Jinyan smiled, "It's okay, I just wanted to come to Daqian with the mission to visit, it belongs to the extra team, and there is another minister in the mission who leads the team, so it won't be a big problem." ”

"So...... Then thank you Prime Minister Huo. ”
