The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River at the beginning of June are moist and beautiful.

Qi Qiaoyan carried a basket on her arm, walked on the bluestone road, and walked towards her home step by step. Her intended person finally went to high school, but she offended the third prince and was not reused, so she was relegated to this remote place to be a county magistrate, although her life was poor, but she was also satisfied.

She didn't know why her father suddenly agreed to her being with her sweetheart, maybe her father finally compromised, this more than a month, she lived a happy and sweet life, although she was married, but she herself knew that her body and her heart had never been given to him alone.

After his father returns, he will discuss marriage with his father, and with his father's support, he may soon be able to return to the capital, do what he is best at, and give full play to his talents.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Yuanzhi sat on the stone bench under the tree, his body was a little stiff, and his face was pale.

"What's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Qi Qiaoyan put down the basket and walked quickly to him and asked.

"I'm ......" Zhang Yuanzhi licked his tongue and said in a somewhat dry voice, "I'm fine...... It's nothing! ”

Qi Qiaoyan hugged her arms and looked at him deeply: "You don't lie at all, it's an official matter?" Can't even say that? If you look ugly like this, is it a tricky thing? Do I need help from my father? It's time for my father to go back to the capital! ”

Zhang Yuanzhi raised his eyes to look at Qi Qiaoyan, his eyes were pitying and fearful, he pushed a letter on the stone table, and motioned for Qi Qiaoyan to take a look.

Qi Qiaoyan opened it suspiciously, glanced at it, her face suddenly turned pale, she almost collapsed on the ground, was helped by Zhang Yuanzhi to sit down, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Disorder? Conspiracy? Qi Qiaoyan felt as if she was in a dream, "Father has always been loyal to His Majesty, how can he make trouble?" Who wrote it to you, it's impossible! ”

"This was given to me by a friend of mine who was an official in the capital!" Zhang Yuanzhi said, "He definitely doesn't dare to talk nonsense about such a big thing!" ”

"How so? What the hell is going on? Qi Qiaoyan endured the shock and grief, and read the entire letter, the rebellion must be from the Zhulian Nine Clans, how could she, as her father's only daughter, be spared? His friends in Beijing hoped that he could judge the situation and escort her back to Beijing, so as to dissociate himself from the Qi family, and perhaps go to the next level.

Her father, who she thought would never grow old, is actually dead, and she may now know why her father sent her to Jiangnan to find him, maybe her father had expected this result a long time ago.

It's just that such a painful result is still too unacceptable for her, and in a short period of time, her family is ruined! She didn't know the reason why her father chose to rebel, but maybe she could understand Jiang Xiaoyu's feelings of misfortune back then, so desperate, so frightened, as if the sky had fallen, but when she endured this, she was just a child.

Qi Qiaoyan wiped her tears, endured her grief, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Yuanzhi was also hit by this sudden change and was at a loss, since he was a child, his parents and teachers have taught him that he needs to be loyal and patriotic, he has no reason to argue for Qi Siyuan's matter, and it should be unforgivable for his family, but for Qiao Yan, his beloved woman, how can he bear it?

"I don't know ......"

"When such a big thing happens, I know that I am also in a catastrophe, but I am afraid that now that the person who arrested me is already on the way, I will not escape, rather than being caught by others, it is better for you to send me back to the capital in person!" Qi Qiaoyan took a deep breath and said, "In this way, you can still accompany me on the last journey!" ”

"What are you and me!" Zhang Yuanzhi said angrily, "Am I in your heart a person who will do anything for the future?" ”

"So what? If not, you'll be implicated by me! Qi Qiaoyan said with tears in her eyes, "You finally got high school, and finally had the opportunity to display your talents, do you want to destroy your future for me?" ”

"But I can't catch you with my own hands!" Zhang Yuanzhi roared, "In this way, what is the difference between me and a beast!" Since your father sent you to me, he must have asked me to protect you, no matter what, I will not let you be harmed, and it is a big deal that we will die together! ”

He bit his lip, took a deep breath, and made up his mind to say, "Go!" Let's go together! Leaving Da Zhou, even if it is the end of the world, I want to be with you! ”

"Why bother?" Qi Qiaoyan smiled bitterly, "I'm very satisfied knowing your intentions, but I know that we can't go far, we have no future!" ”

"In my most difficult times, you have always been by my side, without you I would have died of poverty and poverty, how can I abandon you now? What's the point of me living alone without you? I'll pack my bags now, and we'll go now! ”

Since the two of them had made up their minds, as soon as it was dark, they immediately cleaned up and prepared to die, but before the escape of the two began, they were already surrounded by black-clothed killers.

Although facing these black-clothed rakshasas, Zhang Yuanzhi still protected Qi Qiaoyan behind him, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

"Who do you think we are? Do you have no measure in your hearts? The black-clothed killer said coldly.

didn't expect them to come so quickly, catching them off guard, Qi Qiaoyan looked at them coldly: "The person you are looking for is me!" It has nothing to do with him, I'll go with you, don't embarrass him! ”

"Humph! Harboring a rebel is the same sin as a conspiracy! You yourself are dying, and you are in the mood to intercede for others, since you are so in love, it is better to go to Huangquan together! Above! As his words fell, a group of people attacked Zhang Yuanzhi and Qi Qiaoyan, the sword came out of the sheath and the cold light was shining, how could two people who didn't know martial arts be their opponents?

The killing machine is overflowing, the shadow of death is like a shadow, between the sword and the sword, the two are most concerned about each other's lives, Qi Qiaoyan is a tiger girl, naturally she will not be caught, but how can these few tricks of kung fu be able to defeat Shura in these dark nights, she is not to be able to escape, just to be able to be with Zhang Yuanzhi's death.

It's just that no amount of struggle is in vain, and after a short time, the two have been caught.

"What we want is this woman, it's useless to keep this man, let's kill it!" The man in black said.

Qi Qiaoyan was shocked: "He is an official of the imperial court, what right do you have to deal with it privately?" ”

"It's just a small official with a sesame seed, if you kill it, you will kill it, not to mention, it is a capital crime for him to participate in the rebellion!" The man in black said lightly, not giving them any more chance to speak, and slashed Zhang Yuanzhi's throat with a knife.

"Don't!" Qi Qiaoyan shouted heartbreakingly, "Don't! Far away, far away! ”

Zhang Yuanzhi's gaze began to drift, and blood continued to gush out of his mouth, he knelt on the ground, whimpering in his throat, his body pulled out, and fell to the ground.

"Bastard! You bastards! Qi Qiaoyan roared with red eyes, "You are not from the imperial court!" Who the hell are you? ”

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that you offend people who shouldn't be offended!" The man in black said lightly, "Take her away!" Saying that, they said that Qi Qiaoyan was knocked unconscious and taken away, and a fire burned the courtyard.

Capital.

"What do you mean by all these days running to me?" Princess Xiuwen touched her round nails and said lightly, "Is it to look at this princess pitiful?" If you have this spare time, you might as well go and spend time with your dying grandmother, and don't waste time with this princess! ”

"Princess forgot, I don't have much to do with the Jiang family anymore!" Jiang Yiran smiled faintly, "I often come to visit the princess, but the eldest princess mentioned that now the queen mother is not in the capital, so as not to make the princess boring!" ”

"You don't have to pretend in front of me, your princess knows what you think!" Princess Xiuwen said lightly, "You just want me to deal with Jiang Xiaoyu with you, right?" ”

"I know I can't hide anything from the princess!" Jiang Yiran smiled, "Isn't the princess also hated Jiang Xiaoyu to the core?" Shouldn't it be good for both of us to work together? ”

"I hate Jiang Xiaoyu, that's my own business, the last thing this princess likes is to be used as a gun, if this princess wants to deal with her, she has her own way, and she doesn't need to be pointed at by others!" Princess Xiuwen said coldly.

Jiang Yiran smiled and continued unhurriedly: "The princess has already suffered a loss in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, hasn't she? What's more, Jiang Xiaoyu's identity is far from being comparable to last year, not to mention that she is now a lihou, there are Chu Wangfu and Jin Wangfu and the second prince behind her, the princess wants to deal with her on her own, it seems to be a little difficult, and the best way for everyone at the moment is to join forces......"

"Listen to what you mean, it seems that there is a way to deal with Jiang Xiaoyu?" Princess Xiuwen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me about it?" ”

"Yi Ran is weak, where can she be her opponent? It's not like you need to rely on you, princess! ”

"Will your mother-in-law sit idly by?" Princess Xiuwen asked, "Since you don't have any strength, then you are not qualified to talk to me, let the eldest princess talk to me!" ”

"This ......" Jiang Yiran thought for a while and said, "Jiang Xiaoyu is too popular, this time in the grassland and killed Qi Siyuan with his own hands, it is a thorn in the side of the eldest grandson's family, many people are killing her quickly, I heard that the prince seems to have begun to prepare for their marriage, I am thinking of any way to prevent her from joining the Chu Palace, her royal status is even more troublesome for us, and the princess doesn't want her, a person of humble blood, to marry into the heavenly family, right?" ”
