"That scepter is carved from the same jade quality as the jade medallion, so you only need to shine in the sun to know the authenticity." Nie Wuzheng said.

The three of them were a little surprised, that jade medal was rare enough, a scepter carved with that kind of jade was really priceless.

"Such a good thing, if we find it, we will give it to you so easily?" Xu Xiaozi said disdainfully.

Nie Wuzheng smiled faintly, "If you don't care about Jia Qianqian, then you don't have to give it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were silent, indeed, no matter how valuable the scepter was, it could not compare to Jia Qianqian.

Long Jie asked, "Is this jade medallion and scepter just precious because of the rarity of jade?" Is there anything else special? ”

Nie Wuzheng naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, and said: "The scepter is something that belongs to Xuancheng, naturally it can't be left out for a long time, so to find it, one of you is a leader of the alliance in the rivers and lakes, and the other is the prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is rare to have such a good opportunity to use your power, if you give up, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

At this time, Nie Wuzheng looked like a villain, and it seemed that he was really just deliberately using this opportunity to send Long Jie and Shangguan Lei to do things for him. Long Jie and Shangguan Lei were both thinking that if the scepter was really mysterious, he shouldn't make it public, but it would be better for his own people to look for it slowly. Why the search with all the fanfare?

They didn't know that Nie Wuzheng had his own plans, and the scepter didn't know where it had gone, and relying on their own people to find it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but if the two major forces of the Great Yan Kingdom joined in the search, it would naturally be much easier. As long as the scepter appears, even if it is brought into the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom by Long Jie, there is a chance to get it. And most importantly, they don't have jade medallions and don't know the mysteries in them.

"Hmph, why should we be at your mercy? If you don't let go of thousands of thousands, the forces of the imperial court, plus Shangguan Lei's forces in the rivers and lakes, come together to attack Xuancheng, have you thought of the consequences? Xu Xiaozi said unwillingly.

Nie Wuzheng smiled indifferently, "If Xuancheng is in trouble, Qianqian will be the first person in trouble." ”

"Despicable and shameless!" Xu Xiaozi immediately scolded angrily, and Shangguan Lei and Long Jie also looked at him with disdain. Nie Wuzheng didn't care at all, and said with a light smile: "Yes, I'm just despicable and shameless, so what?" The three of them are all noble people, so naturally they can't bear to watch Jia Qianqian die, so they won't do stupid things, right? ”

Nie Wuzheng made it clear that he wanted to be a villain, and the three of them had nothing to say, Shangguan Lei said in a deep voice: "It's okay to help you find the scepter, but you have to let us see Qianqian and see if she is okay, otherwise, it would be better to break the jade than to be complete." ”

Xu Xiaozi also echoed: "Yes, yes, we haven't seen Qianqian since we came to Xuancheng, who knows what happened to you, you let us meet, are you still afraid that we will snatch her in your territory?" ”

Nie Wuzheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, it's okay to meet each other, but you can't talk closely, and after you meet, leave Xuancheng immediately!" ”

"How can you do it if you don't speak, Nie Wuzheng, if you still think that you are the young master of Xuancheng, show a little generosity and courage, don't be so petty." Long Jie excitedly.

"Hmph, whether I am the young master of Xuancheng or not, I don't need to make a conclusion on this matter, okay, it's decided, I will arrange for you to meet." After Nie Wuzheng finished speaking, he got up and brushed his sleeves away.

Xu Xiaozi hammered the table and said angrily: "I really didn't expect this Nie Wuzheng to be so despicable and use thousands of dollars to blackmail us." ”

Long Jie's face was gloomy and said: "Nie Wuzheng is so arrogant, sooner or later there will be a time for a public rebellion, one day, I will come over with the army and destroy his Xuancheng." ”

Shangguan Lei glanced at him and did not speak. In Long Jie's view, Nie Wuzheng is a rebel usurper, and in Nie Wuzheng's heart, Emperor Taizu of the Dayan Kingdom is not a person who plots against usurpation. If you become a king or lose, how can you distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

Nie Wuzheng returned to the inner city and came to * to visit Jia Qianqian, but Jia Qianqian at this time was not noisy or noisy, and sat in * in a daze. Seeing Nie Wuzheng's arrival, he glanced at him, did not speak, and there was no joy or sadness on his face. Nie Wuzheng's heart ached suddenly, he didn't want to see the lifeless Jia Qianqian, he would rather her be angry and angry, and he wanted to see her laugh happily.

"Qianqian!" Nie Wuzheng shouted, and Jia Qianqian only hummed lightly, indicating that he heard it. "Qianqian, in a few days, I'll take you to Khotan to play and see the strange customs of Khotan, okay?"

Jia Qianqian's eyes lit up for a moment, and then dimmed again, "What did you do to them?" Didn't do anything stupid, did you? I believe you should know better than me that you really hurt them and the consequences for you Xuancheng. ”

Nie Wuzheng's face became gloomy again, why did she always think about them in her heart? No, we have to make her die!

"They will leave Xuancheng tomorrow, I promised Long Jie that he would help him win the position of the crown prince, and I also promised Shangguan Lei that he would help him ascend to the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, so they will not come to Xuancheng to pester you again. Men always aim to achieve great things, and women are just embellishments in their lives, so don't have illusions in the future. ”

Jia Qianqian suddenly smiled and said: "Men all aim to achieve great things, so why do you bother to negotiate terms with them for me?" Don't tell me you're different from them, you're a love saint! ”

Nie Wuzheng was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "I negotiated a deal with them, although I was helping them, in fact, it was also for the safety of Xuancheng, so everyone takes what they need, but my true feelings for you can be seen by the sun and the moon!" ”

Jia Qianqian laughed and said: "Nie Wuzheng, you are really funny, you still swear an alliance, if you really like me and treat me well, you won't imprison me, you won't make me unhappy, unhappy, you know that I hate living like this the most." ”

"Qianqian, I said, this is only temporary, when I deal with the little things in hand, I will take you to Khotan to play, so that you can open your eyes. The Khotanese are nomadic peoples, they can sing and dance, they are fierce and brave, they eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in large bowls, their eyes are dark blue, and they have their own unique language. Also, if you get there, ride a horse on a horse and gallop on the vast grassland, the feeling of the vastness of the world and the insignificance of human beings will make you forget all the disputes and worries in the world. ”

Jia Qianqian was immediately attracted by his description, and her eyes lit up, "Will you really take me there?" Really didn't you imprison me here for the rest of my life? ”

Nie Wuzheng looked at her affectionately and said softly, "How could I be willing to make you unhappy and unhappy?" I'm doing this now because I'm afraid of losing you, and if I had to choose between letting you go and making you hate me, I'd rather you hate me than lose you. But I believe that one day, I will make you only think of me, remember me, love me, and willingly stay by my side forever. ”

No girl can resist such an affectionate statement, and Jia Qianqian's heart has also softened.

"But, do you know that I'm locked up here, and I'm really living like a year, and life is better than death." Jia Qianqian thought of the days of being imprisoned in the past few days, and couldn't help but complain again.

"Not anymore, tomorrow, I will take you to see a wrestling match in the base camp, and then you can still place bets like those who love to gamble, betting on who wins and who loses. However, Xuancheng does not allow women to participate in gambling, so you can bet on me at that time and help me win. ”

Nie Wuzheng knew that Qianqian loved to gamble, so he did what he liked, and sure enough, Jia Qianqian was immediately very happy, and said with excitement on his face: "Okay, I'll help you bet, I just need to be addicted to gambling." Then he pouted and said, "Oh, I have to wait all night, I really hope it will come early tomorrow." ”

Looking at her impatient appearance, Nie Wuzheng couldn't help but laugh, feeling in his heart, in fact, it was really easy to coax her, and she was really easy to satisfy, a little bit of interesting things could make her very happy, no wonder she always lived carefree and sunny before.

On the second day, a lot of young people from Xuancheng gathered in the martial arts arena because there was one of their favorite activities today, wrestling matches. After Jia Qianqian had breakfast, he followed Nie Wuzheng's side, so much so that Nie Wuzheng had to cancel his routine meeting with the important managers of Xuancheng in the main hall every day.

took Jia Qianqian to the martial arts arena, walked to the VIP seat in the ring and sat down. Jia Qianqian also sat beside him in a big way, not noticing the surprised eyes of the people around him. What Nie Wuzheng wants is this effect, he not only wants the people in the base camp to know that he favors Jia Qianqian, but also wants Shangguan Lei Longjie and others who will watch from a distance later to know that Jia Qianqian is willing and happy to follow him.

In the ring, there were already two young men with five big and three thick who started to compete, and the audience began to applaud, and the atmosphere in the martial arts arena was suddenly warm. At this moment, Shangguan Lei, Long Jie, and Xu Xiaozi were arranged to enter the scene.

The three of them were tricked into drinking cartilage powder, and they were weak, but there were still more than ten selected masters from the base camp to form a human wall, surrounding the three of them in the middle, and the leader Mu Sichen warned at the same time: "If you want to make trouble, don't blame us for being ruthless." ”

Shangguan Lei and Long Jie looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they really didn't expect Nie Wuzheng to do a dime without leakage, and the precautions were so strict. That cartilage powder only had the effect of half an hour, so the three of them stayed in the martial arts arena for a quarter of an hour at most.

The three people wrapped in the crowd saw Jia Qianqian on the high platform from a distance. Jia Qianqian is still dressed in men's clothes, her hair is tied with a jade crown, and she is as eye-catching as Nie Wuzheng, who is dressed in brocade clothes next to her. Jia Qianqian smiled happily, and Nie Wuzheng pointed to the two wrestling, explained the rules of wrestling to her, and told her the rules of gambling. Jia Qianqian discussed with him with a smile on his face who to bet on, and the intimate attitude of the two not only stung the heart of the Xuancheng girl, but also deeply stung Shangguan Lei and Long Jie in the distance. Xu Xiaozi couldn't help but mutter, "If I knew she was so happy and happy, I wouldn't have to worry about it for so long." ”

For Xu Xiaozi, Qianqian is his godsister who sincerely worships, in his heart, as long as Qianqian is happy and happy, it doesn't matter who he is with. But Shangguan Lei and Long Jie's feelings are completely different, and their hearts are cold and cold. Qianqian, maybe they don't need to rescue them at all, they are all self-inflicted.

"It's time, please come back." Mu Sichen saw that the quarter of an hour was up, and urged.

The three of them glanced at Jia Qianqian on the high platform again, and finally went out of the city under the escort of Mu Sichen.

Standing outside Xuancheng, looking at the high city wall, the three of them were all speechless, do they need to find the scepter to exchange for Jia Qianqian? Since Jia Qianqian is so happy and happy in Xuancheng, does it mean that the three of them can let go, and they don't have to accept Nie Wuzheng's conditions, and they don't need to worry about Qianqian anymore?
