Chapter 166: The Blood That Fell from the Sky
The night is deep, but the candle flame illuminates this world as if it were day.
The cool breeze was blowing, and through the crack in the door, the hall was empty, and it seemed that there was a faint sound of wind in the ears. Feeling Xia Yunfeng's cold eyes, Qin Luan couldn't help but shudder viciously, he lowered his head silently, his thin lips snorted without a trace, his throat slid and swallowed with difficulty, took a deep breath, raised his hand to pick up the teacup in front of him, raised it towards Xia Yunfeng, smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and drank it in small sips, in order to hide his embarrassment and the indescribable fear that suddenly came to his heart.
"Lord Xia said with a smile!" he took a long breath before he took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible.
Xia Yunfeng didn't demolish him, such a person is an emperor, and his means are more than ruthless, but unfortunately he lacks courage and can't become a big climate; he glanced at Qin Luan coldly, his face did not change, and even his tone did not seem to have changed in the slightest, "The lord of the country never jokes." He snorted lightly, ignoring Qin Luan's suddenly stiff face, and just said, "Let's talk about Xirou." ”
The tone was not hurried, the expression was not arrogant or impatient, just opened his mouth lightly, and his light tone was natural; Qin Luan, who was sitting opposite him, even had the illusion that the person who said that sentence just now was not Xia Yunfeng; Emperor Yuan's treasure, if the Xia clan's royal family had long coveted Emperor Yuan's treasure, then they must also have the key fragment of Yuan's treasure in their hands. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he was about to ask, but he heard that Xia Yunfeng had changed the topic.
"What does Lord Xia want to talk about?" Qin Luan lowered his head and held the teacup and seemed to take small sips, but the doubts and a little anxious expression on his face couldn't be concealed.
"I think the lord's request has already been made clear to you. Xia Yunfeng lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling, but his dark eyes seemed to reveal something that people couldn't see.
Princess Qianyue, who was standing behind Xia Yunfeng, lowered her head when she heard this, her body seemed to tremble slightly, as if she was frightened, Gu Huai condescendingly took in everyone's expressions, this seemingly kind and peaceful Xia Country Lord was afraid that it was not as simple as it seemed, and he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart.
Hearing this, Qin Luan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Xia Yunfeng, who was sitting opposite, with contemplation and thought in his eyes, since Xia Liang had the key to Emperor Yuan's treasure, could he take the opportunity...... It's just that such a thought just came to mind, looking at the appearance of Xia Yunfeng, who was sitting opposite, the old god was there, and suddenly he felt a little weak, picked up the teacup, and drank it in small sips, so as to hide his nervousness and embarrassment, he thought that no one had found out, but in fact, his smile had already fallen in the eyes of the main Liang Gu Huai and Xia Yunfeng who was sitting opposite him.
"Your country's Princess Xirou is in the territory of my Western Chu, and the Qin mission team who openly attacked my Western Chu is a stolen person, and everyone knows it. If I let go of Princess Xirou so easily, then ......" Saying that, Qin Luan looked at Xia Yunfeng who was sitting opposite with a little embarrassment on his face, "If that's really the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
"For the losses suffered by Xichu, how about our Xia Liangguo willing to compensate twice?" Xia Yunfeng looked at Qin Luan, his eyes were dark.
Hearing this, Gu Huai, who was originally curled up and leaning on the main beam, couldn't help but prick up his ears. After all, Gu Ziqi was the target of Princess Xirou's attack, and he was also the only one who was not out of danger now, so he wanted to know how Xia Liangguo would compensate. Urging this kind of poison, thanks to his previous identity, he also knows a little, could it be that Xia Liangguo still has an antidote to urging him? His brain turned rapidly, and the torn wound on his lower abdomen became more and more painful, and he could even feel the warm liquid constantly flowing out, because of excessive bleeding, no one saw Gu Huai's complexion at this moment, it was difficult to see the extreme, and he was as pale as a living dead.
When Qin Luan heard this, his mind spun quickly and kept thinking about how to get more information about Emperor Yuan's treasure from Xia Yunfeng's mouth, but this Xia Yunfeng was just pretending to be stupid, as if what he said just now was not what he said at all; he hadn't felt so powerless for a long time, and raised his eyes to stare at Xia Yunfeng, "It's not that the compensation is negotiable, but it's ......."
"But what?" Xia Yunfeng was not in a hurry, his tone was not in a hurry, not arrogant or impatient.
Suddenly, even Qin Luan couldn't grasp this Xia Yunfeng's thoughts, if he had confidence, but now that he was obviously on his territory in Xichu, what confidence could the emperor of his other country have when he stepped into the enemy country alone, but from his late night visit to the present, the initiative between the two from beginning to end was clearly on Xia Yunfeng's body. This perception made him feel terrible. Thinking of this, Qin Luan lowered his head, "Didn't Princess Qianyue report to you, Princess Xirou attacked my Xichu's Qin Mission, and she also gave a secret poison to my Xichu's ministers." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Xia Yunfeng, his eyes were a little bitter, but he didn't know how much it was true or how much it was false, the Heavenly Family had always been ruthless, and the truth was false, true, who could really say clearly, "Originally, the alliance between the two countries was very good to the royal family or the common people, but now that such a thing is happening......
Hearing Qin Luan's words, Gu Huai's eyes also had a few hints of relief. People are subject to change, not to mention that he sits on the dragon chair that is envied by tens of thousands of people, holding the authority in his hand, holding the power of life and death of tens of millions of people up and down in Xichu, and facing open and secret battles from all sides all the time, insidious calculations, how can it remain the same, but he can still think of himself and his son occasionally in his heart, which is enough.
"This ......" Xia Yunfeng's face was a little solemn for the first time.
"It is rumored that this urging was developed by the ancestors of the Xia Liang royal family, if the Xia Kingdom Lord can hand over the antidote......" Qin Luan's thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a faint smile on his face, "That's everything easy to say." ”
Xia Yunfeng's thin lips pursed slightly, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he looked at Qin Luan opposite through his eyes, "Isn't it clear that Emperor Chu is not clear about urging his life?" Even if this urging is from the hands of the ancestors of the Xia clan, since the Emperor Chu knows this, he should also know that the ancestors of the Xia clan died in urging his life back then, if there is really an antidote, hehe......" Speaking of this, he lowered his head, and the words behind it were self-evident.
"If there is no antidote, there is no way. Qin Luan shook his head a little helplessly, the love in his eyes was sincere, if he didn't know clearly what kind of character Qin Luan was, I was afraid that even Xia Yunfeng would be deceived by him. Xia Yunfeng didn't speak, just looked at Qin Luan in a daze, waiting for his later words.
Sure enough, Qin Luan looked at Xia Yunfeng in a daze for a long time, until he confirmed that there was really no antidote to the urging of life, then he lowered his head, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyebrows were embarrassed, "But if Xia Liangguo is willing to exchange a treasure key fragment, then ......"
Gu Huai, who was lurking on the main beam of the main hall, heard this, and the original moment of relief suddenly vanished; his eyes were half-squinted and condescending, looking at Qin Luan, his face was much older than back then, but he could still see the shadow of the past, thinking of the words he said when he traveled the rivers and lakes together, suddenly the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, revealing endless bitterness; Somewhat uncomfortably, he moved his stiff neck and shook his head inwardly.
Xia Yunfeng's half-squinted eyes looked Qin Luan up and down, with a faint understanding in his eyes, and an expression on his face that was really like this, seemingly thoughtful, but his heart was full of disdain, as an emperor, it is no wonder that the rich and strong Western Chu would fall to the current point in his hands, if it weren't for the Qi family, the protector general of Western Chu, he would have already waved his troops to incorporate Western Chu into Xia Liang's territory.
"Of course, Lord Xia, you can think about it. Qin Luan looked at Xia Yunfeng's thoughtful appearance, and he already had seven or eight points of confidence in his heart. However, the treasure of Emperor Yuan is too tempting, and it is not at all comparable to that useless Xia Xirou. If Xia Yunfeng was willing to give up a piece of the key fragment in exchange for Xia Xirou's life, he would naturally be happy to accept it; seeing that Xia Yunfeng was already starting to think, he threw out a sentence lightly, "But this matter has been suppressed by me for a few days, and the Lord Xia had better give me an answer as soon as possible; in this way, I can give an explanation to the court, the people of the world, and the Gu family!"
The corners of Xia Yunfeng's mouth hooked obliquely, he was so open-minded to exchange for others and tried in vain to give others an explanation, what kind of explanation? There is no antidote to the poison in Gu Ziqi's body, so he generously gave his father, mother, brother and sister?
"Just a minister to change the fragment of a key, Emperor Chu's abacus is really good. Xia Yunfeng's thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyes were shining with a sharp glow, so he looked at Qin Luan in a daze. The royal family, who also coveted the treasures of Emperor Yuan, naturally understood better than anyone how difficult the key fragments of those treasures could be, but unlike the royal family of the Qin family, their Xia clan had never destroyed any family that had been handed down from that year, even after knowing that they were the family with the key fragments of the treasure of Emperor Yuan.
He's not the idiot sitting across from him. Emperor Yuan a thousand years ago, others don't know, how can they still know? What a shrewd and wise person he was, how could he easily leave the key to his eternal resting place to others; 10,000 steps back to the eight guards of the year didn't know why he had to divide the key into multiple parts and hand them over to different people for safekeeping, but even if he got the key, wouldn't Emperor Yuan have made the slightest arrangement? The temptation of swallowing the treasure of Emperor Yuan alone is great, and the courage must be life to enjoy it. Instead of destroying those families and letting them die meaninglessly, it is better to let them contribute their part on the way to explore the treasures of Emperor Yuan.
Gu Huai, who was lying on the main beam, naturally didn't know what Xia Yunfeng was thinking in his heart, and between the two of them, you could faintly hear what Yuan Emperor treasures, what keys and the like in their mouths. Could it be that the legend of Emperor Yuan was really there?
With too much blood loss, Gu Huai's brain had begun to dizzy at this moment, and even the bottom of his eyes seemed to be glowing black.
Qin Luan didn't care, his eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Xia Yunfeng, "Whether Princess Xirou is worth a piece of key fragment or not, it depends on how you think about it, Lord Xia." If you say she's worth it, it's worth it. But although he said this, he knew better than anyone else that this Xia Xirou was just a waste now, even if he was brought back to Xia Liang by Xia Yunfeng, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape a dead word after all. It's just that where you die and whose hands you die in are very particular.
"The lord of the country is watching, what the Chu Emperor said is. Xia Yunfeng looked at Qin Luan on the opposite side and took a deep breath, "It's just a Xia Xirou, and the lord of the country will not ignore the ancestral training of my Xia clan because of a Xia Xirou." ”
Over the years, Xia Liangguo didn't seem to be drastic, and he had never made such a blatant attack on the medicine family as Xi Chu, but the fragments of the Yuan Emperor's treasure key that their ancestors had collected for generations were already as many as three, and if they could get two pieces from the Qin clan and the Xie family, I am afraid that the difference would not be too much.
Even though there is no very definite news, everyone is speculating that Emperor Yuan's subordinates are the eight guardian generals, and the key to this treasure should also be divided into eight parts by him;
"Oh?" Qin Luan looked at Xia Yunfeng, who seemed to be insincere, and did not comment on his words, just took the tea, took one sip after another, and smiled lightly, "If this is really the case, why should the dignified Xia Liang Kingdom Lord condescend to come to my Xichu in person for a trip?"
When Xia Yunfeng heard this, his thin lips pursed lightly, and he said with a light smile, "The lord of this country thinks that Emperor Chu knows it. "Now the secret of Emperor Yuan's treasure on the rivers and lakes is spreading, where is there any secret to speak of. If it's just those boring literati who don't even write their works, they still say it clearly, and there is even a sarcasm that the Qin royal family turned their faces and didn't recognize people, and directly destroyed the entire medicine family. If it's a side matter, forget it, when it comes to the treasure of Emperor Yuan, Rao is always as calm as Xia Yunfeng can't sit still.
"Huh. Qin Luan lowered his head and laughed heavily.
"If Emperor Chu insists, then it seems that this time it is the lord of the country who has done more. Xia Yunfeng said and got up from the soft couch, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked with a shallow smile, "In this way, the lord of the country will not disturb the purity of the Chu Emperor, and he will leave!"
With his ability, the possibility of getting the Xie family's key fragment is definitely greater than Qin Luan's. He can be simple and rude, but Qin Luan can't care about his identity on the surface, he originally thought that although this Qin Luan is ruthless and has a city, he can still analyze the most basic pros and cons of being an emperor, but in the end, he thinks highly of Qin Luan.
Qin Luan also had a momentary panic at this moment, the treasure of Emperor Yuan, their Qin clan has been around since hundreds of years ago, and they are not ...... Or even earlier. As early as knowing that Emperor Yuan had left behind a batch of treasures after his death, they had already made up the idea of those treasures. Later, before leaving, the main general, one of the eight generals, handed over a piece of things to the ancestors of the Qin royal family, telling them that they must be passed on from generation to generation, which strengthened their determination to get those treasures. The ancestors of the Qin family have a cloud, as long as they get those treasures, they can at least ensure that the Qin family will prosper for another thousand years.
For thousands of generations, that is the result that every family desperately wants to see, who doesn't want to see their own bloodline for eternity, not to mention that after the original guardian eight generals left, they never appeared again; there are even people who wonder if they have already died, or have found another continent across the wide ocean, since they haven't come back for so long, why can't they use these things.
At first, it was just a little bit of this idea, but as time went by, this idea became stronger and stronger, and it was not until later that the people who took over the guardianship of the family had completely lost the idea of being loyal to the main general and the Yuan Emperor, and instead planned more for themselves. How to find that treasure faster before other families did it became a problem for them to think about.
Naturally, when Qin Luan knew the news, he was undoubtedly the same joy in his heart, but he knew that there was such a treasure, but it was really not good to not be able to find it. That's why I knew that when the ancestor of the medicine family was one of the imperial doctors who participated in the development of the elixir of the Yuan Emperor, he eagerly destroyed the medicine family and got the key fragment guarded by the medicine family, which felt like smoking marijuana; 。 Seeing that it was hard to have an opportunity to find out the Xie family thoroughly, but it didn't say anything about it, and it attracted this person.
The Xia clan is a fierce rival, even though he is not a wise emperor, but he is very self-aware, if he is facing the Xia clan head-on, their Qin clan will not even win by five points.
"Lord Xia stays!" his mind turned quickly, and just as Qin Luan was thinking, Xia Yunfeng had already returned to the way he came, dressed in black, and followed behind Princess Qianyue, looking like a Xia Liang envoy.
Hearing Qin Luan's voice, Princess Qianyue's footsteps suddenly froze, and her hanging heart finally let go a little. Xia Xirou's matter is not solved for a day, it is always a thorn in her heart, I don't know why, she always has a very strange feeling in her heart, urging this poison is impossible to get as an imperial aunt. But obviously, his father was not surprised by the urging of the imperial aunt, and there was only one possibility in this situation, the poison was given to her by the father at all! But why did the father urge the imperial aunt, is there really no antidote to the urging of the imperial aunt?
Xia Yunfeng's thin lips were slightly hooked, a trace of realization quickly flashed under his eyes, and even the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, as if he was full of confidence in Qin Luan's sudden opening. However, when he turned around to face Qin Luan again, he had that Gu Jing Wubo expression, and he didn't even have the slightest wave in his tone, "Emperor Chu still has something?"
"Let's talk!" Qin Luan raised his glass to Xia Yunfeng, as if he meant to show goodwill.
"Oh?" Xia Yunfeng looked at Qin Luan puzzled, "If you want to talk about what you just did, then you don't have to." As the so-called prince violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, since she has done such a foolish thing, she must have the consciousness of bearing the consequences, and my Xia royal family has no bad seeds. "Although the royal family of Xia Liang Kingdom does not have many heirs, there is no shortage of Xia Xirou's princess. And himself, even because of the disappearance of the eldest prince, he really languished for a while, and then, the harem concubines were all women, and they have been looking for so many years but there has been no news, the show girl who stole his own emperor, thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but sink, but fortunately, Xia Liang is not Xichu, there are not so many rules, and the princess is not unable to inherit the throne.
Hearing this, Qin Luan's thin lips pursed slightly, looking at Xia Yunfeng, he was really puzzled in his heart, where did this Xia Yunfeng get the confidence to talk to himself like this in the territory of Western Chu and even in the palace of Western Chu.
“......”
Suddenly, in the entire hall, the two emperors looked at each other and said nothing to each other.
Gu Huai, who was lurking on the main beam of the main hall, originally just wanted to ask Qin Luan why, but now there was no need to ask, and he wanted to leave quietly, but because of the wound in his lower abdomen, he lost too much blood, and his brain was a little sore, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Qin Luan is no longer the open-minded Qin Luan he was back then, if he really discovers himself, I'm afraid that the name of an assassin will kill him. It is not a pity for him to die, but if his wife and children are affected because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.
In the temple, for a long time.
Looking at Xia Yunfeng's expressionless face, he just smiled faintly but didn't speak, Qin Luan's heart became heavier and colder, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, if he had been generous just now and took a step back, would it not be what he is now.
Although the national strength of Xia Liang is nominally on par with Western Chu, don't forget that there is a famous Chu family in Xia Liang, and if the Chu family makes a move, Western Chu will definitely be defeated. If Xia Yunfeng wanted to snatch the two key fragments from the hands of their Qin clan, it was not impossible, and then thinking of Xia Yunfeng's meaningful eyes just now, if that was really the case, then he would become the sinner of the Qin clan through the ages. Rather than having to lose the last bit of benefit, and having to compensate the Qin clan for the hard work of the country, and not taking a step back, the key fragments in the hands of the royal families of the two countries may be able to find some other clues, and it is not known.
In the duel of masters, it is always the one who moves first who loses. In the negotiations between the two countries, naturally whoever speaks first will lose the upper hand, and it has nothing to do with anything else, it is just confidence. Don't look at the place where the two of them are now, it is the territory of Western Chu or even the palace of Western Chu, but if you really want to talk about it, Xia Yunfeng's confidence is not known how many times more than Qin Luan.
Qin Luan finally couldn't help it, "About the treasure of Emperor Yuan." As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids to hide the eagerness and worry in his eyes, "Could it be that the Lord of Xia doesn't want to find the secret of the treasure?"
"Uh-huh. Xia Yunfeng only snorted softly and looked at Qin Luan. It wasn't until now that he finally glanced at Qin Luan, and it wasn't too bad to be able to distinguish the pros and cons of gains and losses so quickly.
Lord Xia sat down and said. Qin Luan didn't get up, but just made a gesture of please.
Since Xia Yunfeng would come to Western Chu alone because of the rumors of the Yuan Emperor's treasure on the rivers and lakes, he naturally would not sit back on the soft couch with a light smile because of the momentary anger, and looked at Qin Luan, who was sitting opposite, "Since the Emperor of Chu wants to talk, take some sincerity." ”
"One yard to one yard, Princess Xirou's matter is suspected to be too extensive, even if I have the heart, I can't do it. Presumably, Lord Xia also deeply understands this. "Even if it is the emperor, it seems that he has the power to kill people in the world, but only they know how helpless they are after sitting in that position.
Xia Yunfeng nodded, he didn't come here specifically for Xia Xirou, he just looked at Qin Luan in a daze.
"Since the Xia royal family is also looking for the treasure of Emperor Yuan, it is better to ...... How about we join forces?" Qin Luan thought for a long time, this approach was already the best way he could come up with now. Joining forces, the chances of opening the treasure are a few points greater.
Xia Yunfeng originally had this intention, but since Qin Luan took the initiative to bring it up, he never agreed easily, at least he had to fight for some favorable conditions, "If you find it, how will it be distributed?"
"......" Qin Luan frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Xia Yunfeng puzzled, he really thought so. Half of the treasure was already the maximum he could accept, and any more, he wouldn't be able to accept it.
The corners of Xia Yunfeng's mouth hooked obliquely, and a cold snort came out of his nose, "Now the rumors of Emperor Yuan's treasure are all over the rivers and lakes, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, does Emperor Chu think that with such a big fortune, those people in the rivers and lakes will not be tempted?" Seeing Qin Luan's face change slightly, he paused and continued, "Don't think that those people in the rivers and lakes are all stragglers, they are more united than anyone else when they are united with the outside world, especially when they are against the imperial court." "What's more, there are many of those people who are masters of the inner family, and once they are all united, it is not at all that their armies can resist.
"Then according to the Xia Lord......" Qin Luan lowered his voice, his eyebrows frowning slightly.
"Since Emperor Yuan's treasure is no longer a secret, why not spread the news, and finally find the treasure according to the number of key fragments in his hand?" Xia Yunfeng had already thought about it before he came, there were thousands of treasures in Emperor Yuan, he was not greedy, he only needed to get a small portion of it, too much, and he might not be able to keep it.
Hearing this, Qin Luan's thin lips pursed slightly and fell silent. The current Qin clan only has two key fragments in their hands, and if it is based on this share, although they will get a lot, they will not get much.
"The number of key fragments is unknown, and once this news is released, those families with key fragments will inevitably be ready to move, which is better than looking for a needle in a haystack like we are now. Xia Yunfeng looked at Qin Luan and spoke again.
"......" Qin Luan was silent for a long time before nodding, "It's okay, but the number of key fragments, how to obtain them, we all rely on our abilities, and no one is allowed to put cold arrows in the back!"
Xia Yunfeng nodded, "Since they are allies, this is natural. ”
"There is no basis for words, but blood is proof. Qin Luan's eyes were lightly picked, crisp and neat.
"Please!" Xia Yunfeng was not ambiguous, Princess Qianyue had already taken two teacups with great discernment, and when they arrived at Baishui, Xia Liang was open, and the delicate little dagger she carried with her was handed to Xia Yunfeng.
"There is no wine here, so let's replace it with water!"
Xia Yunfeng is also a resolute person, as he spoke, he directly pulled out the dagger, the two of his left hands were cut, and the blood splashed directly into the two teacups; Seeing this, Qin Luan only felt that the tip of his heart was in pain, but he brought it up by himself, so he had to follow Xia Yunfeng's appearance and drip a drop of blood in each of the two teacups, and then picked up one of the cups and held it up to Xia Yunfeng, "Lord Xia, please!"
"Please!" The corners of Xia Yunfeng's mouth were slightly hooked, but at the moment when the teacup was held, he suddenly only heard a crisp sound, and there was another drop of bright red blood in the clear water that was originally only two drops of blood, and the blood stain was too obvious, Xia Yunfeng's eyes glanced at the main beam directly opposite him jerkyly, and clearly saw a black corner of his clothes in the corner; 。
Princess Qianyue looked at her father who was on the spot, and suddenly became a little anxious, "Father, father!"
"Huh?" Xia Yunfeng had just come back from his stunned stupor, but only saw Xia Qianyue with an anxious face and Qin Luan with a puzzled face; he raised his head and smiled apologetically, "I suddenly thought of something else just now, please!" said and drank all the water in the bowl, as it represented the meaning that each other's blood was blended and there was no regret.
Seeing this, Qin Luan's originally hanging heart finally sank, and he laughed at this moment, "I still have something to say to Lord Xia, but it's not too early now, how about we talk another day?"
"It's okay, I'm a little tired, too. "Where does Xia Yunfeng still have the heart to talk to Qin Luan about the treasure of Emperor Yuan at this moment, no matter how good the treasure is, it is a dead thing, and now his heart is full of eyes on the drop of blood that fell from the sky that he saw just now, could it be that this is the tip given to him by God, when he thought that his emperor would never be found again, it came so suddenly.
But suddenly as if he thought of something, his thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a touch of worry between his eyebrows, this is the palace of Western Chu, how did he get injured, what did he do in the palace of the emperor of Chu? What kind of life has he lived all these years, is it ...... Assassin?
In fact, it is not surprising that he thinks too much, the person who appeared in the palace in a night suit so late, as an emperor, his first reaction must be an assassin.
As if sensing that her father was wrong, Princess Qianyue said cautiously, "Father, you...... Are you alright?"
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became; Xia Yunfeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Qian Yue with a worried face, and when he just walked into the dark, he paused and instructed Qian Yue, "You go back to the post station first, my father still has something to do, just go back!"
"No, father, are you ......" Princess Qianyue was anxious, and just wanted to speak, but Xia Yunfeng had already lightly toes, and swept quickly in the direction of the Chengqian Palace, he didn't want his son to die under the sword of the guards of the Xichu Palace before he could find it, it would be too much to lose.
Seeing this, Princess Qianyue could only pout.
"Princess, the lord of the country has always been measured, there must be something important, let's go back to the post station first. "The one who spoke was Xia Yunfeng's personal guard Ye Ge, who followed Xia Yunfeng's side every step of the way on weekdays, and his status was comparable to that of the chief eunuch of Xia Liang Palace.
Princess Akane nodded, "It's fine." ”
Gu Huai, who was lurking on the main beam of the Chengqian Palace, watched Xia Yunfeng and Princess Qianyue and his party finally leave, Qin Luan called Du Changhai recently, he seemed to be in a good mood, and asked him a few words, he was relieved, moved slightly because of the curled up and sore body, crawled, uncovered the tiles above his head, moved extremely fast, endured the pain of tearing in his lower abdomen, and quickly came out of the Chengqian Palace, lying on the roof and not even having the strength to cover the tiles back and gasp for breath.
The hand gently lifted the lower abdomen, the tentacles were full of damp heat, and the blood had soaked the clothes, and I didn't have to think about it to know that the wound on the lower abdomen must have been torn open, thinking of Gu Jinxi's expression after knowing it, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked but it was just a bitter smile, and now the girl is in a coma, where can I see it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and went down through the untied window, several eunuchs carried a quilt wrapped in a quilt and quickly put it on the dragon bed, the emperor had already finished bathing and changing clothes, looking at the people on the bed, his eyes were shining, but when he walked somewhere, suddenly a drop of liquid fell on his forehead, and he raised his hand to wipe it, all bright red. Looking up, there was a big hole, Qin Luan's face suddenly turned angry, "Someone, there are assassins!"
"There are assassins!" Suddenly the entire Chengqian Hall and even the palace were in a boil, Gu Huai lay weakly on the roof of the Chengqian Palace, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a hint of bitterness, it was too difficult to escape with his current situation, it was better to die completely to save dragging down his wife and children.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, holding on to his last breath, no matter what, he couldn't be caught by Qin Luan's people. If it really fell into the hands of that person, with his jealousy of the Gu Xie family, he really didn't know what would happen at that time. Taking out a pill from his bosom can quickly restore a person's physical strength, but after the effect of the medicine, the whole person will completely collapse and even be unable to move, with his current situation, it is unknown if he will die directly, but he doesn't have time to think about it so much.
"Catch the assassins, catch the assassins!" the palace, which was already brightly lit, was now illuminated as if it were daylight.
There were blazing torches everywhere, and the entire Chengqian Hall was surrounded by regiments, and the Imperial Forest Army, the guards, were layered on top of each other. Gu Huai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his hand and just wanted to take the pill but was suddenly grabbed by someone, he was startled and just wanted to resist but heard the person lower his voice in his ear, "Don't struggle, follow me." ”
"......" Almost instantly, Gu Huai heard the owner of this voice, Xia Yunfeng, the lord of Xia Liang, why did he know that he was here, and what he was helping himself for, but before he could ask, the whole person had already lost consciousness.
When Gu Huai woke up again, the wounds on his body had been rearranged and bandaged, and even the clothes on his body had been changed, the room was very unfamiliar, but he knew the people who came in and out, Princess Qianyue's personal maid Qiu Ruo, but sitting not far from the bed, the man with a kind but dignified face, Xia Yunfeng, yes, he saved himself last night.
Forced to get up, Gu Huai's eyebrows frowned slightly, he didn't return all night last night, if he was found by Su Su, he should be worried, no, he had to rush back as soon as possible, thinking that he was about to get out of bed, but he alarmed Xia Yunfeng, who was holding his head in his hand just now, when he saw Gu Huai, he hurriedly came over, with a concerned face, "How are you feeling?"
“...... Thank you Lord Xia for saving your life. Gu Huai arched his hand towards Xia Yunfeng, "It's not too early, Gu Huai should go back." ”
"But the injuries on your body?" Xia Yunfeng's eyebrows frowned slightly, with a little disapproval in his eyes.
"Manly man, this little injury is not in the way. Gu Huai just smiled faintly, after recuperating all night, Xia Yunfeng let people treat him regardless of the cost, Gu Huai's spirit was good at this moment, "The lord of the country saves his life, Gu Huai is grateful, but we are each our own master, some things ......"
"I understand. Xia Yunfeng stared deeply at Gu Huai's eyebrows, and even the light under his eyes was shining, his son, this is his son, he finally found his son, but he couldn't imagine that his son turned out to be him, Gu Guogong's only seedling Gu Huai.
After Gu Huai left, looking at Xia Yunfeng who was sitting on the chair with tears in her eyes, Princess Qianyue frowned slightly, pouting, "Father, why did you save him?" To Gu Huai, Princess Qianyue couldn't say what it felt, as if there was a closeness for no reason, but this closeness was a little repulsive. And if it weren't for Gu Jinxi, how could Xia Liangguo encounter so many bad things, how could his majesty in the country be suspected, and how could his father risk his life and come alone.
It's just that Xia Yunfeng didn't have the heart to guess Princess Qianyue's thoughts at the moment, with a thick smile and gratitude on his face.
"Lord, you are tired, go back to your room to rest first. It's a long time coming. Night Song lowered her head, her voice low, but with a soothing taste.
