Chapter 143: Crown of Thorns
If it weren't for Yi Chenjing's sudden ...... Suddenly nervous, Bai Qige would not notice the abnormality of the tent, the thick tung oil cloth and the ground met inward, a piece the size of an egg bulged inward, confused for a moment, Bai Qige suddenly understood, it should be caused by someone accidentally kicking the tent when eavesdropping.
Yi Chenjing silently picked up the short sword on the case, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, Bai Qige shook his head and pressed his wrist, and quickly wrote a line of scribbled handwriting on the paper.
The plan is calculated, and the defense is the offense.
"You go get busy first, anyway, I have to rest for a while after drawing the formation diagram, and I'm really tired of running around these days." Taking the short sword in Yi Chenjing's hand and shrinking it into his sleeve, Bai Qige raised his chin towards the tent curtain and signaled him to leave, his tone was not at all abnormal, "I'll be fine, I promise." ”
The three words "I promise" bit very hard, a pun, Yi Chenjing could only let her do it even if she didn't want to, and kissed her lightly on the soft red lips like a dragonfly before going out, which made Bai Qige's eyes fly. It was far away from the tent that Yi Chenjing took off his calm face, and wanted to find someone to spy on him, but found that there was no half credible person at hand.
Indeed, as Bai Qige said, his suspicions are heavy, ordinary people can't believe it, and looking at the entire expeditionary force, Xiao Baishan and Qiao Erhe can be entrusted with important tasks, but those two are not in front of them now, who else is available? The time spent with her may not be long, but Bai Qige knows his temperament best in this world, and it is not an accident that such a smart and tenacious woman has fallen in love with him, but an inevitable result.
In the silent main general's tent, Bai Qige calmly studied the ink carefully, and most of the originally drawn formation was completely covered with thick ink - she and Yi Chenjing both knew in their hearts who was eavesdropping outside, although the possibility of the other party doing something in the war was extremely small, she still didn't want that person to know that she was going to put on a military formation, and her years of special forces career taught her to be cautious to prevent accidental dangers.
"Come in if you're here, it's not the first time we've met, so why be so shy?" Seeing that the protrusion in the tent was still there, Bai Qige guessed that the watcher should not have left, so he simply put down his pen and opened his mouth to invite.
There was silence outside the unguarded tent of the main general, and after a long while, there was a slight rustling sound, and then a breeze poured in, and the light suddenly brightened, and a figure opened the curtain and entered, bringing a murderous atmosphere in the tent.
"Don't you tell your master that I've returned?" Looking up at the expressionless delicate face, Bai Qige was calm. In fact, if you think about it simply, you can guess who the person who is watching and eavesdropping outside, who has sufficient reasons and motives and the ability not to be discovered by Yi Chenjing, the only person who can do this is Su Jinyan.
The blue eyes shimmered with cold light, Su Jinyan stood in front of the desk and looked down at Bai Qige, her almost bewitching face did not change at all, and she was still so captivating.
It seems that the word "alluring country and alluring city" is a little inappropriate for men, but Bai Qige can't find other words to describe Su Jinyan's appearance, and maybe he can't even describe the four words "alluring country and alluring city". The emerald jade eyes can not read any feelings, more and more mysterious people want to get closer to find out, the porcelain white delicate skin like coagulated fat makes the pampered ladies also dwarfed, and the delicate facial features seem to come from the hands of the gods, every inch, every point is carved just right, one more is redundant, one less is missing, integrated together there is a unique face, amazing heaven.
It's a pity that the peerless beauty is a male pet, and he must have suffered a lot under a psychologically distorted man like Yi Chenxuan, so he fell into indifference from the inside out. For some reason, Bai Qige was hostile to Su Jinyan and always had some sympathy mixed with it, feeling sorry for the violent destruction of heavenly things.
Could it be that without Yi Chenxuan, the current Su Jinyan can be like a gentle man with the same appearance as him?
Su Jinyan's staring was quite displeased, and she turned sideways to avoid Bai Qige's gaze, and her slender and slender silhouette fell on the case: "I promised not to give up and not kill you for the time being, provided that you honestly don't make trouble again, if I find out that you are ruining his future in private, I don't mind taking your life at any time." ”
"Don't give up? The one who saved me that day? There were too many questions in one sentence, and Bai Qige was confused for a while, "Whose future did I destroy?" Yi Chenxuan? ”
"Don't you know and don't give up?" After hearing repeated questions, Su Jinyan was also a little surprised.
The appearance can be so similar that it is almost carved out of a mold, and I can't think of anything else except the relationship between twin brothers, so that person is called Su Buqi? Bai Qige, who is cautious in his words and deeds, is not sure whether to ask Su Buqi about his identity, the atmosphere was not very harmonious when their brothers met last time, and they always felt that there was a gap between the two, and it was very likely that it would backfire and anger Su Jinyan.
As expected, after being surprised at the first moment, Su Jinyan quickly snorted coldly, and the aura around her body became more and more cold: "It's best if you don't know, at least you will feel that there are good people in the world." ”
"It's a brother, even if the personalities are incompatible, no matter how bad they are, they have the same blood in their bones, why be so degraded?"
Su Jinyan didn't refute, it seems that the brotherly relationship is ironclad, but he just listened to his tone as if Su Buqi was a wicked person, and in Bai Qige's memory, although Su Buqi was indifferent when he saved her a few times, he had no malice, and his eyes were also clear and clear, not like a hypocrite at all.
Two brothers who are like a mystery......
A crisp click shattered Bai Qige's contemplation, and when he looked down, two thin neck porcelain bottles, one green and one brown, rolled to his hand, and the mouth of the bottle was tightly sealed with a cork, and the shape was almost the same as what he had seen in the Yao Closed Hall in the past. Raising her eyebrows and raising her head, Bai Qige looked at Su Jinyan inquiringly.
"This medicine can protect you and the Seven Princes from poison, although the effect of the medicine is not long, it is enough to survive ten days."
What did you do with the medicine for her? It's not that I'm worried that Yi Chenjing will vomit and diarrhea after eating her grilled fish and poison it into the bone marrow. Taking the medicine bottle and playing with it in his hand, Bai Qi Singer hooked a faint smile on the side of his face: "You want to help us?" ”
"I don't want Yi Chenxuan to succeed."
Su Jinyan called Yi Chenjing the Seventh Prince when he called him, it can be seen that he is not a person without etiquette, it stands to reason that the title of the master Yi Chenxuan should be more respectful, why do you call him by his name without any respect? Full of confusion and forced the bottom of his heart, Bai Qige quietly put away the medicine bottle: "I always thought you were Yi Chenxuan's loyal minion. ”
"It has nothing to do with you, you just have to take care of the Seven Princes. There has been news from the palace for Yi Chenxuan to return as soon as possible, three days at the earliest and ten days at the latest, during this period, he is very likely to be desperate to kill the killer, what you have to do is to be a hundred times more careful, Yi Chenxuan's proficiency in poison is far beyond your imagination. As if remembering something terrible, Su Jinyan's body stiffened, and her face turned pale and white.
Bai Qige had seen Yi Chenxuan use poison, the room that looked like a torture room in the remote hall was burning with a strange fragrance that made people weak all the year round, and Yi Chenjing's crazy eyes when he violently favored her, what he didn't expect was that all these strange poisons came from Yi Chenxuan's hands and I don't know how many more terrible poisons he had. It is easy to dodge with open knives and guns, but it is difficult to prevent it by attacking it secretly, especially poison, for her and Yi Chenjing, who are not proficient in this Daohao, it is undoubtedly a terrible tool to kill people invisibly.
A big stone was pressed on his heart, how did Rao want to behave fearlessly, Bai Qige still couldn't help but lower his voice: "Why did you mess up Yi Chenxuan's plan?" Isn't he your master? ”
"He only has one confidant, and I am the only one who can beat the Seven Princes in martial arts, if I insist on not making a move, he will only have poison as a way out." Su Jinyan avoided answering Bai Qige's question, and turned around to change the topic, "Besides, those people who attacked you were not Yi Chenxuan's subordinates, and I don't know who sent them, I can be sure about this." After a short silence, those eyes full of mystery and charm returned to Bai Qige, and hesitated for a moment: "Just take it as a reward, you have to do a little - you can't kill Yi Chenxuan no matter what." ”
Bai Qige took a deep breath and was full of inexplicability, raised her eyes and wanted to ask in detail, but Su Jinyan didn't give her a chance at all, opened the curtain and strode away.
The already chaotic clues are becoming more and more complex and intertwined, and the people who seem to be Yi Chenxuan's most loyal subordinates are secretly hindering his ambitions, as well as third-party forces who come from nowhere and are instructed by whom, the mysterious and looming Su Bu abandon......
The storm is coming.
Regaining the pen and ink and slowly sketching, several thorns jumped onto the paper, and at the top of the thorns was a pitch-black ink stain, like an impenetrable mist, more like Yi Chenjing's deep pupils.
They are walking a thorny road, at the end of the road is his wish, his world, is the goal he has endured for many years, maybe he will be bleeding and injured in the process of overcoming thorns, but Bai Qige has no intention of retreating. Break free of the shackles and penetrate the fog, one day he will become the king of Zhongzhou, and she is the blade that cuts the obstacles for him, and the crown of thorns must be worn by him even if it is dyed with crimson blood - only he is the dragon among the people she recognizes.
There is a vacant lot in the center of the camp, the wood originally used to set up the stake has been deeply inserted under the ground, the thirty people tied to the stake have been skinned and bloody, and the terrible screams are endless, and a hundred steps away is the camp tent where the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan is temporarily resting, and the screams of pain can be heard clearly.
"The old guy does have a set, but it's a pity that he underestimated the brains of me and my seventh brother." Yi Chenxuan, who was lazy and half-leaning on the soft couch, let out a mocking sneer.
Su Jinyan said casually: "Prime Minister Zuo? Or the right prime minister? ”
"Prime Minister Zuo is not so bold, the concubine is not favored, he still has to rely on me to contain the forces of the crown princess, he should always understand that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and he will not be stupid enough to kill himself." Gou Gou gestured to Su Jinyan to get closer to him, Yi Chenxuan's lips showed a hint of a smile, Yin Yu was cold, "It's you who give me a headache - Jinyan, I said don't touch Bai Qige for the time being, right?" Do you know how sad I am to find that you are not in the camp? ”
The slender body trembled suddenly, Su Jinyan's scalp was numb, and she knelt on one knee: "My subordinates are worried that her escape is fake, and it is true that she took the opportunity to move the rescuers, so it is too late to follow and chase His Highness without authorization, please punish His Highness." ”
Yi Chenxuan sneered: "And then? How did you come back again? ”
Once she tells Bai Qige that she has returned to the camp, the cunning Yi Chenxuan will definitely suspect that what Yi Chenjing did before is to protect her, so the vigilance against those two people will also increase, and the next move is probably to poison and assassinate herself.
Su Jinyan really didn't want to tell the truth, but the face that was forced to be raised was facing the Yin Owl smile, and all plans and determinations were shaken and shattered in an instant.
"Because...... Bai Qige didn't leave, she came back again. ”
Fear has long been ingrained in the bones and lungs, and after all, it is not something that can be counteracted by impulses overnight.
