Chapter 041: Asking for Reason
The room in front of him was slightly dim, Xiao Qise shrunk his neck, looked at Zhan Xiao silently, and didn't dare to make a sound.
She was brought in by Zhan Xiao and did not alarm anyone.
Xiao Qi didn't understand his intentions, obviously she had discovered Xiao Yi's secret, but Zhan Xiao didn't plan to deal with her, but took him to a safer room to help her escape the catastrophe.
This shouldn't have been done by Zhan Xiao.
He is the most powerful God of War general under Xiao Yi, and he is also Xiao Yi's most trusted person. used to be a personal guard, and now a confidant general. She, a native of Hunan, knew Xiao Yi's secret, and Zhan Xiao should have killed her and never had trouble.
"Why, you're scared? I'm your savior, if I don't do it just now, the Secret Guard will take your life. I saved you, why are you still afraid of me?"
Zhan Xiao poured a cup of tea leisurely as if he had entered his own home, and then drank it all.
His posture of drinking water is rough and elegant.
The warm tea slowly flowed down the throat, and the Adam's apple fluctuated up and down, making people can't bear to look at it.
However, even if Zhan Xiao's appearance was good, Xiao Qi was not in the mood to appreciate it.
She didn't dare to let her guard down, and she couldn't give up any chance to escape until she was sure why Zhan Xiao didn't make a noise.
"Aren't you going to thank me? ”
Zhan Xiao put down the kettle and continued.
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Slave, General Xie Zhan helps." ”
She subconsciously stepped back a little, her thin back resting on the cold pillar, and her hand slowly moved down until she touched the pill hidden in the cuff, and the queen had prepared for her to kill Mei Ji.
Xiao Qi left some during the last sweet soup incident, and she didn't plan to use this one again, but she just wanted to use it in case of emergency.
Now, here's the 'unnecessary'.
In terms of strength in all aspects, Xiao Qi is not Zhan Xiao's opponent. However, she can poison ducks. Although the spiritual power on the seventh grade may not feel ordinary poison at all, this may not hurt him much, but it is better than nothing. As long as he has no strength, Xiao Qi can choose to run away, or even kill him directly.
Xiao Qi secretly gritted his teeth.
Eavesdropping on the king's secrets is a capital crime for ordinary Chu people, not to mention her humble slave. If it didn't work well, she hadn't been able to change her life against the sky, so she went directly to the king of Hades.
It's so easy to be reborn, and she doesn't want to die like this.
However, instead of killing Zhan Xiao, she may choose to escape.
In addition to Xiao Yi, there are other ways to get close to Xiao Rui.
After all, Zhan Xiao really saved her in the palace, and Xiao Qi still misses this kindness.
"You thank you very reluctantly. Zhan Xiao smiled like a spring breeze, but for Xiao Qi, it was like the last kindness before death.
"There is also the title of general, which doesn't sound very pleasant, even the soldiers in the army also call me by my real name. Why don't you call me Zhan Xiao too? ”
Xiao Qi hurriedly lowered his head: "The humble body of the slave and maid, I really don't dare!"
"Where do you not dare. Before, outside the Fengtian Pavilion, I saw that you were bolder than the sky, and you dared to kneel on the way that the king had to go to Tangquan Palace. At that time you claimed to be kneeling in the wrong place, and I believed it. But today, how do you explain it? Could it be that following the king is also following the wrong person?"
“......”
Xiao Qiyi didn't know how to answer Zhan Xiao for a while.
"If you are so bold that you just call me by my name, why not. ”
"Slave maid ......" Xiao Qi's eyes rolled: "The last time the slave and maid knelt there, it was a coincidence, but fortunately, there was a general to guide the way, so that she would not lose her head." As for this time......"
"What's wrong this time?" Zhan Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"This time, the slave maid followed the instructions of Mei Ji Niangniang and went out of the palace to buy Buddhist paper for her. The king was seriously ill, and his mother couldn't think about it day and night, and she was very anxious. Later, I heard Yu Ji Niangniang say that using Buddhist paper to make welfare, you can make your wishes come true if you burn them in the temple, so she started to do welfare in the palace every day. Now that the Buddhist paper is not enough, I asked the slaves and maids to come out and buy it. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Qi took out the token in the basket and the golden beans given by Mei Ji.
These are all excuses that Mei Ji found for her, but I didn't expect them to really come in handy.
Glancing at the token and the golden bean in Xiao Qi's hand, the smile on Zhan Xiao's face faded.
"Mei Ji let you out...... I remember that the Queen Mother liked to worship the Buddha the most, and these Buddhist things should be very well prepared by the Shang Palace Bureau. ”
"It is precisely because of the use of the Queen Mother that my mother does not dare to call it. These days, the Queen Mother in order to pray for the king, are tired and sick, if the Queen Mother at this moment to disturb the Queen Mother's Buddhist paper, in case the Queen Mother asks the Shanggong Bureau, will not delay her old man's Buddha. My mother was anxious, and she didn't want to disturb the queen mother and her old man too much, so she wanted to let the slave maid go out of the palace to buy and go back for her use. ”
This excuse was seamless, and Zhan Xiao couldn't find fault with it for a while.
However, this kind of procurement work is generally for the person in charge. But Mei Ji entrusted important things such as golden beans and waist cards to a small slave.
"Look at your mother, she trusts you very much, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem to understand what kind of person the little slave she trusts. ”
Zhan Xiao took a few steps forward and quickly grabbed Xiao Qi's wrist.
That hand was the hand that Xiao Qi secretly picked up the poison pill.
"Shouldn't I remind Mei Ji to let her know you and the good things you have in your hands thoroughly. ”
Seeing that he was recognized, Xiao Qi's heart was about to jump out. But on the surface, she was surprisingly calm.
With this action, the basket overturned and the golden beans spilled on the ground.
Zhan Xiao's hand was extremely strong, like a chain, locking her wrist tightly. At this time, Xiao Qi couldn't escape completely.
With each word he spoke, the strength in his hand increased. Xiao Qi gritted his teeth, only feeling that his wrist was about to be crushed by him at any time.
Xiao Qi persevered for a while, but after all, he couldn't bear the strong squeezing sensation, so he had to let go and hand over the pill in his hand.
"A little slave, who didn't serve his master well in the palace, went out of the palace. It's just a matter of leaving the palace, and he also follows the king and eavesdrops on the side. Eavesdropping on the corners of the wall, and being highly toxic. Do you know what this crime is? Don't say it's you, in such a situation, even your master will not escape death. ”
Zhan Xiao's words are not half water, all of them are golden words.
Xiao Qi knew how big this sin was, and Aunt Yuhu had already made it clear to them back then. Either the five horses were divided, or Ling Chi died.
In short, the most painful punishment could not make up for her sins.
Xiao Qi's chest was suffocated.
She hated how her body was not a master of spiritual power, so that her five senses became sensitive, and she would not know that the dark guard was approaching, let alone bother Zhan Xiao to solve the dark guard, and now she was forced to ask the Jedi.
