Chapter 309: Twisted Desire
Bai Haocheng's words had a vague ominous taste, Bai Qige and Yu Che were both very concerned, and they didn't dare to relax after him for a day and a night, and they were a little relieved to see that he didn't have any unexpected actions.
However, Bai Qige could no longer go to the city to lookout, and the angry people in the war surrounded the palace and demanded that the Bai family hand over Bai Qige to surrender to the Yao army.
"The second young master has lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets have sunken, and his face is not as good as day by day." Listening to the noisy voices outside the courtyard in a daze, Yu Che muttered to himself, his hands twisted together and kept rubbing, and his nervousness and worry were obvious.
Bai Qige already knew the little girl's intentions, and her stomach was depressed and deep, but she also understood that the current situation could not be willful, so she could only lean on the head of the bed with the Cuihuang Sword in her arms, and recall over and over again the pitiful happy trivial things in her memory.
"Crown Princess! Crown Princess! The panic outside the courtyard was shouted from far and near, Qiao Erhe recklessly broke into the room, and almost knocked over Yu Che and fell in front of Bai Qige, "Princess, it's not good!" The Yaojun released news that as long as General Bai was willing to hand over the crown princess, he would withdraw his troops, and now the people have broken into the palace to make trouble! β
Bai Qige almost couldn't lift it in one breath, his figure paused, and he gritted his teeth and pinned the Cuihuang Sword to his waist: "I'll go to the palace." β
"No, Miss can't go out!" Before Qiao Erhe could stop him, Yu Che took the first step in front of Bai Qige, and the two eye circles on her delicate face were red, "The second young master ordered that Miss should not be allowed to go out, those people are crazy, and they can't reason with them at all, so they won't let Miss go to death!" β
"Yuche, get out of the way, do you know what the situation is now? I can't solve this matter if I don't show up! β
"No just no way! Death doesn't get out of the way! β
Qiao Erhe originally came to inform the situation, but he didn't expect it to cause Bai Qige and Yu Che's master and servant to quarrel fiercely, and he was stunned in place for a while, so Yu Che didn't react when he suddenly pushed Bai Qige to the side, and saw Bai Qige hit the edge of the table hard, unable to move for a long time.
"What are you staring at, are you stupid? Don't help yet! Yu Che quickly pushed Qiao Erhe out of the room, took advantage of Bai Qige's pain and bent over the moment to slam the door with a bang, and then picked up a large iron lock from the ground next to him.
The lock cylinder was closed, the light was cut off, and Bai Qige was locked in the room.
Bai Qige had also wondered why the windows of this house were nailed with wooden planks, and it was not until Yu Che locked the door that he suddenly realized that all this had been arranged in advanceβwhether it was a sealed window, a big iron lock that should not be there, and a door that was much thicker than ordinary people...... The action of locking her in the room was already secretly planned.
"Yuche, Yuche, open the door! Open the door! Bai Qige didn't care about the pain in her body, she threw herself on the door panel and pounded in a panic, her voice was unprecedentedly nervous, "Did the second brother let you do this?" You listen to me say Yu Che, the second brother must be going to do something stupid, you open the door and let me out, it's too late! β
The door panel was pounded and shook, and Yu Che raised his head with his back against the door, and two tears couldn't stop sliding down his cheeks. After standing up for a long time, Yu Che grabbed his sleeve and wiped away his tears, pursed his lips and found an iron chain from the corner, and wrapped it around the iron lock.
Qiao Erhe was dumbfounded: "Jade, Miss Yuche...... You're ......."
"Don't ask so much. Come, be strong, tighten the chain, and lock the door. Yu Che handed one end of the chain into Qiao Erhe's hands and ordered neatly.
"The crown princess is still inside......" Qiao Erhe muttered blankly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Yu Che saw that he hesitated and refused to move, so he picked up the hem of his skirt in a hurry, and the tears that had just been collected rolled down like an embankment: "Let you ask, let you ask!" Don't lock it up yet! Do you want Miss to be safe? Listen to me if you want to! β
Hearing that Bai Qige was safe and sound, Qiao Erhe no longer hesitated, nodded heavily, and used all his strength to wrap the iron chain around the doorknob and iron lock.
The sound of angry scolding outside the door did not fall into Bai Qige's ears, and the mess in his heart turned into an ominous premonition spread and spread, holding the door with both hands, Bai Qige almost lost his voice: "Don't make trouble anymore Yuche, do you hear it!" Do you want to kill the second brother?! β
That's the person I admired and loved the most since I was a child, how could I hope that something would happen to him? Although he knew that Bai Qige was talking angrily, Yu Che was still wrapped in monstrous grievances, and his tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Can't Miss take a break? I'm tired and scared, but I have to do it anyway! The two hands kept wiping the tears rolling down, and Yu Che cried like a child, "I like Miss and I like the second young master, I don't want to see any of you have an accident, Miss, will you listen to Yu Che this time?" If the young lady has three longs and two shorts, how do you let the second young master, the master, the lady and His Royal Highness live? They have done this for you, does Miss want them to waste all their efforts? The sound of pounding on the door in the house gradually slowed down, Yu Che's crying became smaller and smaller, he sniffed hard, and his tone was a little more strong and calm: "Miss, don't worry, isn't there me, I will guard the second young master and not let him do stupid things-Miss you know, Yu Che's favorite and favorite in this world is you and the second young master, even if this life is gone, it doesn't matter, as long as the young lady and the second young master can be safe......
Qiao Erhe, who was standing on the sidelines, kept looking at Yu Che, feeling more and more confused, why did she still show such a clean smile even though she was crying?
"Miss, let's go to Zehu Lake to fly a kite when everything is over, you, me, and the second young master, we have agreed that no one will die."
When the soft voice became softer and softer, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hear clearly, Bai Qige knew that Yu Che had already left, and no one could predict what would happen after this farewell, maybe it would be as dangerous as a prayer, or ...... Or, she will be bound by guilt and remorse for the rest of her life.
The capital of Zhaoguo, which was cut off from food and water, was shrouded in great panic, and many people had not eaten a full meal for two or three days. What's even more terrifying is the dense array of soldiers of the remote army under the city, those foreign uninvited guests in red clothes and iron armor set up four two-person high wooden frames outside the city of Liangshi, and more than 20 bloody corpses were hung on each wooden frame, all of which were the people of Zhaoguo who fled out of the city.
"Fear is the best poison."
In the most inconspicuous corner of the remote army, a carriage stopped quietly, and the man sitting in the carriage listened to the sound of small discussions outside, and even happily poured a glass of wine and pasted it to the lips of the line-shaped beauty, every movement was elegant and calm.
"The prince's strategy is really vicious, and the ones I did are not even one ten-thousandth in comparison. If you continue like this, it won't take long to call you the prince anymore, but it's time to change your name to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or call the emperor directly, right? The enchanting woman next to her giggled, her charming posture was enchanting, but a trace of unnaturalness flashed in her eyes without a trace.
Ruan Yanluo has not seen a vicious person, and he has also taken the lives of others with his own hands, but it is the first time in his life that he has seen Yi Chenxuan who kills innocents indiscriminately and does not hesitate to let the world be stained with blood for his own selfish interests. Sometimes Ruan Yanluo also wonders, is it good or bad to cooperate with the ghostly Yi Chenxuan? However, she has no choice, if she wants to get the Rouhu Kingdom out of the Anling Kingdom, she must rely on the overlord of Zhongzhou, Yaoguo, and the one who can really dominate the world must be the strongest of the strong, ruthless, and strong, such as Yi Chenxuan.
"By the way, on the way here, I found that the young man under the prince was also rushing here, so I sent some people to solve it just in case." Ruan Yanluo stopped thinking, poured a glass of wine and gently knocked it on Yi Chenxuan's wine glass.
"Except for the battle court and the occasional Suiliang, no one else has to take it seriously, just dispose of it casually. How is the situation in the palace, nothing has changed, right? β
Ruan Yanluo shook his head, and his fingertips swept over Yi Chenxuan's handsome face: "There are three thousand and Wu here, even if it is a general, he is helpless, and now even the queen has become a caged bird, isn't it up to you to decide inside and outside the palace?" It's just that I don't understand, why do you want to put the prince and the woman surnamed Bai to death? One moment to mention what conditions for withdrawing troops, and the next moment to force the prince to write a letter of resignation, just let the old emperor issue a holy decree to abolish the prince? Toss and turn, beware of things going wrong. β
"Heh, you simple-minded women who don't know how to enjoy naturally don't understand." Yi Chenxuan sneered, and his mockery was undisguised, "If I want to kill the two of them, I can do it at any time, and I can raise my finger without much effort." People always have a goal to pursue in life, and when the goal is achieved, it is inevitable that they will feel empty, and they have been playing with Lao Qi for so long, except for the last time he was careless and took advantage of the loophole, which time was not I let him? If even he is gone, no one in this world can compete with me, wouldn't that life be boring and difficult? β
The slender fingers lifted Ruan Yanluo's jaw and approached it, the cold color in Yi Chenxuan's eyes was with a cold smile, and with a little force, two red marks appeared on his delicate cheeks.
"You know, many times I can't help but think about how nice it would be if the woman who was circling around me every day was Bai Qige, then I wouldn't have to explain it to you. It's a pity that she is resourceful enough but her appearance is not good, and you have empty skin and no brains, no one is the woman I want. β
"I can't keep up with her, otherwise do I need to please the prince? It seems that the prince has not suffered less from that woman. Ruan Yanluo's face was red and white for a while, and he made up his mind and sneered at him. Probably worried about angering Yi Chenxuan, just after sneering, Ruan Yan showed a charming smile again, and stuck in front of Yi Chenxuan: "Okay, even if it is an alliance, there is an alliance, how boring it is to quarrel around, I admire the prince very much." β
The meaningless flattery was only nonsense for Yi Chenxuan, squinting his eyes slightly, raising his head and drinking the remaining wine in the cup, the corners of his lips once again provoked a smile of expectation.
"Love and kill each other, the end of the world is forever separated, and let hatred become an insurmountable gap between them...... Wait to see the show, and see if Bai Qige loves Lao Qi more or hates him more. β
