Chapter 17: A Thousand Faces
"The king... Rajah... Big things are wrong! Mrs. Cai has been held hostage! ”
The maid panted and said in a panic.
Cai Wenzhao?
"Lead the way," Yang Qice said coldly.
After listening to Yang Qice's sonorous and powerful order, the maid's body trembled, and then nodded, and hurriedly led the way, Yang Qice followed closely behind the maid, and rushed to the backyard after a while.
Yang Qice came to the backyard and saw Cai Wenzhao being held to the neck by a masked man with a knife at the moment.
Seeing the masked man's eyes, seeing that the eyes were sharp and cold, Yang Qice unconsciously raised his vigilance in his heart.
At this time, Cai Wenzhao, who was being held hostage, saw Yang Qice's arrival, and a pair of clear eyes as clear as water immediately shed a line of tears, and endless grievances came to her heart, and they all collapsed at the moment she saw Yang Qice.
Since that day Yang Qice and her lingered, although Yang Qice was cold and indifferent to her, she felt Yang Qice's meticulous care all the time, I don't know when, there was a trace of inexplicable feelings in her heart, and as time went by, her body and mind were gradually captured by Yang Qice.
Lin Yixiao, who heard the news, was panicked and hurried over, and as soon as she arrived in the backyard, she was stopped by the maid next to Yang Qice and the maid who came with her.
Seeing that his mother was being held hostage, he almost couldn't cry and shouted to his mother
"Mother~!"
Lin Yixiao's voice was miserable and desperate, and people couldn't help but tremble when they heard it.
Yang Qice looked back at Lin Yixiao, waved his hand at the two maids beside Lin Yixiao, and motioned for them to take him away.
Seeing that Lin Yixiao was struggling and unwilling to leave, Yang Qice couldn't help but look cold and said to Lin Yixiao
"Here, I'll take care of it."
Lin Yixiao looked at Cai Wenzhao anxiously, her eyes were full of worry, but her voice was much quieter: "Mother... Mother... Young Master Yang, little girl, please..."
"Alright, take it!"
Without waiting for Lin Yixiao to finish speaking, Yang Qice directly shouted coldly.
The two maids were immediately frightened by Yang Qice's coldness and determination, and the little hands subconsciously dragged Lin Yixiao out of here even harder.
Lin Yixiao was also shocked by Yang Qice at this moment, she choked up, stopped speaking, and obediently left with the two maids.
It wasn't until Lin Yixiao's back completely disappeared in the backyard that Yang Qice took a leisurely step forward and approached the masked man Hua Qianmian.
"Yo, isn't this the prince who has just been promoted from the first rank? I can't imagine being so fierce to my own women? ”
Hua Qianmian's voice was extremely frivolous and weird, and it sounded extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Qice glanced at Hua Qianmian and did not answer his words directly, but said coldly
"Let her go, I don't blame the past, you can leave safely."
Hua Qianmian was holding Cai Wenzhao with both hands, a dagger was held at her neck, after hearing Yang Qice's words, the dagger in his hand was closer to Cai Wenzhao, only a fraction of a second, Cai Wenzhao moved a little at the moment, and the sharp blade could cut her throat.
"Hehehehehehe, now that people are in my hands, the initiative is on my side, are you qualified to negotiate terms with me? Wang Ye~"
Hua Qianmian trembled and laughed, she glanced at Cai Wenzhao and then at Yang Qice, her eyes flashing with provocation.
Yang Qice looked coldly at Hua Qianmian with an evil face, stepped forward with a solemn expression, and said word by word
"Let her go, and I promise you'll leave safely."
His voice was low, and every word he said seemed to carry endless coercion.
I saw Hua Qianmian frowning slightly after hearing this, and said with disdain on his face
"Oh, what if I don't?"
As he spoke, the blade in Hua Qianmian's hand was directly against Cai Wenzhao's neck, and the tough blade slashed through Cai Wenzhao's snow-white neck, and when he landed, a trace of blood flowed out.
Seeing a faint trace of blood on Cai Wenzhao's neck, Yang Qice immediately stopped and said coldly
"Good. You let her go, I can give her whatever you want. ”
"Yikes! I thought you'd ignore her life and death! Hua Qianmian smiled even deeper, her attitude as usual frivolous and disdainful.
Hua Qianmian looked at Yang Qice leisurely, and his smart eyes were like stars.
"What I want, it's your life, do you give it or not? If you don't give it, then I don't mind if she dies for you~! Oh, if she wants to live, she will eat this pill."
When the words fell, Hua Qianmian didn't know when there was an extra pill in his hand, and he casually threw the pill to Yang Qice.
As Yang Qice caught the pill, a faint aroma came with the cold wind, the aroma was pleasant, but it made Yang Qice feel extremely familiar.
When he landed, Yang Qice looked at Hua Qianmian with a hint of doubt in his expression, and he looked Hua Qianmian up and down as if he were exploring.
Being looked at like this by Yang Qice, Hua Qianmian suddenly felt uncomfortable, and felt a little weak
"Why, don't you dare?"
Seeing Yang Qice holding the pill in his hand, Cai Wenzhao was full of panic and fear at the moment.
Will Yang Qice save himself....... He couldn't save himself, how could he lay down his life for himself.......
Thinking of this, Cai Wenzhao's expression instantly darkened, she was ready to die, and there was only one hope in her heart, that is, after she left, Yang Qice could treat her daughter well.
After Hua Qianmian's words fell, Yang Qice actually put the pill directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
Seeing this scene, Cai Wenji's face was full of disbelief, her eyes were round, and the whole person was stunned, but suddenly she reacted and roared loudly
"Don't !!"
"Heh, you really don't hesitate?"
Hua Qianmian's voice was full of sarcasm, but there was a hint of vinegar in those words.
Because her voice was young at the moment, it sounded a little strange.
Yang Qice was originally worried that Cai Wenzhao would be in danger, but with the aroma left on the elixir, Yang Qice was very familiar with it, and he guessed that it was Hua Qianmian himself who held Cai Wenzhao hostage.
After Yang Qice received the elixir, he was a little puzzled in the face of the familiar fragrance, looked at Hua Qianmian and thought for a moment, but inadvertently saw Hua Qianmian revealing a sense of weakness in his eyes, even if he understood.
It is impossible for the pill to be taken out of Cai Wenzhao's body, and that aroma, although Cai Wenzhao also has it, can never be contaminated with the pill in a short period of time, unless this pill has always been stored on someone's body.
If it was really a thousand faces, she really wanted to die in Huangquan, then she would admit it.......
Hua Qianmian looked straight at Yang Qice with his eyes, noticed the subtle change in expression on his face, and couldn't help but raise his delicate brows slightly.
"You can let her go, right?"
After Yang Qice swallowed the elixir, he looked at Hua Qianmian, the corners of his mouth raised a shallow arc, and his voice was much softer than Fang at this moment.
Hearing this, Hua Qianmian slowly withdrew the dagger in her hand from Cai Wenzhao's neck, and Cai Wenzhao, who had regained her freedom, instantly ran towards Yang Qice, she hurriedly grabbed Yang Qice's sleeve, and said with a worried face
"Yang... Yang Lang, are you alright..."
Yang Qice looked directly at Hua Qianmian, did not look down at Cai Wenzhao, and said lightly: "I'm fine." ”
The dagger in Hua Qianmian's hand fell to the ground, his eyes were full of self-deprecation and melancholy, and he smiled: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
