"Xiao Tingchen ......"

She murmured.

Rong Zheng stood beside her, his face cold, "He is smarter than I thought, according to my plan, it will be at least ten more days before he realizes that there is a palace change in Chang'an City." But at that time, the new emperor had already succeeded to the throne, and he could only be reduced to an unjustified outcast, and the whole world would condemn him......"

Su Jiu glanced at him.

The famous son of the Rong family, full of poetry and books, amazing talents, but born with a dark and vicious heart.

He calculates the throne and calculates the world, but after all, it is only on paper.

She said lightly: "There are only 50,000 Janissaries in Chang'an City, even if the Northwest Su King is willing to send troops to Chang'an for you, it will take them half a month to travel from Liangzhou at the earliest." And Xiao Tingchen used his troops like a god to capture Chang'an, but it was only a matter of three or five days. Rong Zheng, what are you going to do to fight him? ”

Rong Zheng stared at Xiao Tingchen from afar.

His eyes were as deep as the mountains and cold pools, "So, what do you think I brought you here from the palace?" ”

"You want to use me to contain Xiao Tingchen." Su Jiu smiled, "But have you forgotten?" For Xiao Tingchen, my Su wine is just a beautiful woman who adds to his country, and in his heart, the country and the throne are the most important. As for me, although I have a complexion, there are not many women who are far superior to me in appearance, such as Xiao Fengxian and Hua Yueji...... If he wins the world, the ends of the earth, he can always find a more beautiful girl. ”

"Beauty is like a flower, and the most important thing in Chang'an City is beauty." Rong Zheng slowly turned to Su Jiu, "But Su Jiu, Su Jiu, who accompanied him from nothing to today, and Su Jiu who accompanied him from Jinling to Chang'an, there is only one." How will he choose? Does Sister Su want to gamble? ”

Su Jiu's face was expressionless.

She didn't want to gamble.

She was afraid in her heart, because she knew that Xiao Tingchen would choose the country without hesitation.

But in addition to being afraid, there is still a small hope hidden in the bottom of my heart.

Like a small flame in a raging storm, insignificant, but real.

Her small white hands clutched the straps tightly, and she shook her head slowly, keeping back.

She still didn't dare to bet.

She's afraid of despair!

An old roar suddenly came from behind:

"Arrest her for the old man!"

Su Jiu turned around, and Rong Xiang appeared at some point, with his hands behind his back, and gave orders to the Praetorian Guards with a black face.

The two Praetorian Guards stepped forward without hesitation.

Rong Xiang pinched Su Jiu's delicate white jaw, and smiled coldly: "Zheng'er, at the moment of war, how can you continue to grow up with your children?" Use Su wine to let Xiao Tingchen retreat twenty miles, if he refuses, we will cut off Su Jiu's hand in front of thousands of troops! If he still refuses, he will continue to cut! If he refuses, we will throw his beloved woman to the soldiers to play in public. Do! The old man wants to take a look, he Xiao Tingchen doesn't care about this woman! ”

His tone was fierce, mixed with a strong hatred for Xiao Tingchen.

The so-called method of retreating from the army is more like the venting of personal grievances.

Su Jiu understands very well that his hatred comes from Xiao Tingchen's attack on the Rong family and causing him to lose his position as prime minister.

Therefore, he wanted to take revenge on Xiao Tingchen......

In the face of Rong Xiang's cruelty, Rong Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and he quietly condensed Su wine.

He whispered: "Sister Su, as long as you are soft, I am willing to keep you safe." ”

Su Jiu shook his head.

She no longer wants to have a little trust in this capricious and cold-blooded man!

The light in Rong Zheng's eyes gradually faded, and he allowed the Praetorian Guards to bind Su Jiu and hang her from the city tower.

Rong Xiang put his hands on the heavy city tower and smiled, "Xiao Tingchen, your woman is in our hands, I order you to retreat twenty miles immediately, otherwise, I will personally chop off your beloved woman's hands!" ”

Xiao Tingchen was still calmly sipping tea.

He smacked his lips, glanced at the city tower, and said with a smile: "My sister is beautiful and fragrant, why is Rong Xiang so cruel to her?" I really don't have any pity for the jade...... Look at Mr. Rong, he is different from you, his eyes have never left my sister. ”

Rong Xiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Rong Zheng.

Sure enough, although his baby son had a calm face, his eyes were always staring at Su Jiu, as if he was afraid that she would fall from the city tower, the concern in his eyes was almost overflowing, and the tight lip line could vaguely see how nervous he was.

"Sign!"

He shouted angrily, "Don't forget, the snow is the wife you are marrying!" ”

Rong Zheng didn't say anything.

Rong Xiang frowned and ordered the Praetorian Guards to escort Su Jiu over.

He personally untied the rope that bound Su Jiu, pressed one of her hands on the city wall, and stared at Xiao Tingchen fiercely, "Are you retreating or not?!" ”

Xiao Tingchen was noncommittal.

"Good, good!" Rong Xiang laughed a few times, "Bring a knife to the old man!" ”

The sharp long knife was delivered to him, and Su Jiu was pressed by the Praetorian Guards, unable to break free at all.

She looked at her hands, breathing heavily.

Rong Xiang smiled, "Miss Su's hands are so good-looking, ice muscles and jade bones, and her fingertips are clear, it would be a pity if she cut them off...... If you want to blame, blame Xiao Tingchen for being ruthless and unrighteous to you! ”

Su Jiu looked at Xiao Tingchen.

He still sat calmly on the Taishi chair, his thin red lips hooked into a wicked smile, and he seemed to raise an eyebrow at her.

As if to say that he would not save her......

Su Jiu slowly retracted his gaze, and a coolness spread in his heart.

Although she had long expected Xiao Tingchen's choice, when he really showed it, she couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart......

Uncomfortable and depressing, as if the whole heart has been hollowed out......

She closed her eyes in silence, her lips curling with mockery.

She and Xiao Tingchen have not been husband and wife for a long time, how can she expect him to save her?

Rong Xiang slashed down at her right palm!

At the moment when the long knife was about to fall, Rong Zheng suddenly blocked Rong Xiang.

He kept Su Jiu behind him.

His frost-moon-like face was stained with a layer of clouds, he lowered his eyelashes, and his voice was extremely soft: "No. ”

"What are you talking about?!" Rong Xiang was shocked, "Zheng'er, Su Jiu is the best handle for Xiao Tingchen!" If you don't chop off one of her hands, Xiao Tingchen will think that we don't dare to do anything to Su Jiu at all! At the moment of big things, you can't be confused! ”

Rong Zheng smiled indifferently.

He raised his eyes and looked cold, "What kind of bargaining chips do women use as chips in the war between men?" Father, if we win Xiao Tingchen by such despicable means, even if we can support Yuan Qin to ascend to the throne, our Rong family will be despised by the world. I refused, using Su wine as bait. ”

"Rebel!" Rong Xiang was furious, "I think you are lustful, and you have lost your soul and lost your mind by Su wine!" What kind of means are despicable, which of the methods you have used over the years is above board?! Oh, now that the old man wants to hurt Su Jiu, you are giving the old man a sentence of disdain? ! The old man is going to chop off her hand today, you get out of the way for me! ”
