Chapter Forty-Eight: Throwing Yourself into the Net

Unlike the chaos on the other side, King Huan led more than a thousand people to eradicate all the remaining members of the puppet palace Ming Palace. As they got the news, the Ming Palace was already empty, and there were less than three hundred people left. Zhao Qingyan opened several defensive organs, and the guards rushed in and directly killed half of them while they were unprepared. After that, the situation lasted for three hours, and everything was calm.

The biggest reliance of the puppet palace is the many mechanisms and formations inside, and Zhao Qingyan, who knows the layout of the palace by heart, divides the Ming Palace into several areas and draws drawings to distribute to the guards. Until the entire Ming Palace was cleaned, their losses were less than sixty people.

Zhao Qingyan was breathing in the fresh air outside the palace, and he was about to walk, only to find that his feet were caught. Looking down, a man with half of his body stained with blood was prostrate on the ground, waving his arms with difficulty, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into his calf. The blood-stained face raised to look at himself, and he couldn't see what was in his eyes that began to loosen, but the corners of his lips slowly hooked up a reassuring smile, and then, he fell headlong.

"Xiao Wang......" The guards who saw the situation here hurriedly rushed over.

Zhao Qingyan raised his hand and signaled that he didn't need to come: "He's dead." Slowly crouched down, removed his hand holding the dagger, and gently placed it on the ground. The trouser tube was cut by an inch by the dagger, revealing the bracket inside, and the dagger didn't even make a small scratch on the bracket.

Zhao Qingyan tidied up his shirt and stood up, the hem of his clothes covered the hole that was not easy to be detected. He looked down at the slowly cooling corpse again, with a slight sigh on his face, and walked slowly into the distance, but he wanted to vomit inexplicably.

I am used to seeing life and death, but it is still difficult to ignore life and death.

A slight whistle sounded, Zhao Qingyan's face changed slightly, and Ran Haoyan, who was not far from him, also looked in that direction vigilantly, and then looked at his young master inquiringly.

Zhao Qingyan glanced at the guards who were cleaning up the corpses, and seeing that no one noticed, he nodded slightly to Ran Haoxuan to signal that he didn't have to follow him, and then walked in the direction where the sound came from. Ran Haoxuan looked a little hesitant, but stayed where he was.

"Little prince, the speed is quite fast. In the collapsed corner, Tang Xiaoyu, who was dressed in a black robe, leaned against the wall, with a sneer in his eyes, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Zhao Qingyan stopped and looked at him quietly: "You are really here." ”

Tang Xiaoyu squinted and smiled: "Yes, I am really here." You know I'm still here? You should be hiding in the pile of guards, hiding next to your uncle. In that case, I won't be able to approach you and scare you. ”

Zhao Qingyan's eyes moved slightly, and he simply replied: "You asked me to come over." ”

Tang Xiaoyu straightened up, stepped in front of him, and looked into his eyes: "Are you a dog?"

Zhao Qingyan looked back behind him, as if he wanted to dodge, but he didn't move, and looked back at him: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Tang Xiaoyu punched him in the stomach and grabbed his neck when he bent over in pain: "Don't stand so straight, I hate people looking at me condescendingly." ”

Zhao Qingyan choked and coughed, and reached out to hold the pillar next to him to stabilize his figure: "You can't blame me if you grow tall." ”

Tang Xiaoyu's fingers tightened a little, making him look up at him, and his voice with a smile was fluttering: "You are also very powerful, you can still continue to deceive the trust of your uncles, and let the prince let you go." ”

A trace of disgust appeared in Zhao Qingyan's eyes: "You let go of me." ”

Tang Xiaoyu's fingers increased in strength, as if he was going to crush his neck, and smiled coldly: "What's the matter?

Zhao Qingyan raised his hand and wanted to pull his hand away, but he put it down silently halfway through, and the disgust in his eyes did not diminish at all: "Let go." ”

"Are you ordering me?" Tang Xiaoyu was unmoved, "I said a long time ago, I don't care what kind of little prince you are, no matter what kind of cleanliness you are or your funny self-esteem." Since I can't resist, I can either endure it, or I will come to beg me like the rest of the people, wagging my tail like a dog and begging for mercy. I'll admit you're prettier, smarter, and more interesting than all of them, but I don't feel bad about it. ”

Zhao Qingyan forcibly endured the uncomfortable feeling caused by poor breathing, simply closed his eyes, and did not resist or pay attention to him.

Tang Xiaoyu pursed his lips in disappointment and let go of his hand: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to play today." ”

Zhao Qingyan took two steps back and leaned against the pillar, took a few deep breaths to ease up, and immediately said, "Then I'll go." ”

"Don't go, I'm not done yet. Tang Xiaoyu stretched out his fingers and injected a little internal force into his body, watching him fall to the ground in pain, and laughed playfully, "Zhao Qingyan, I like your words." Aren't you admitting that you're coming and going when you are called?"

Zhao Qingyan curled up in pain, and waited for the pain of biting the meridians in his body to subside, and then said slowly: "This is not something I admit or not, right?

Tang Xiaoyu squatted down and looked at his calm eyes, and raised his eyebrows: "You're not angry?"

Zhao Qingyan's face was pale, but there was ridicule in his eyes: "Angry? I've known you for more than a month for ten years, do you think I'll still do that kind of stupid thing? Wouldn't you be happier when I'm angry?"

Tang Xiaoyu poked his finger into his chest, losing his internal strength a little bit: "You not only know each other, but you are also very tolerant." ”

Zhao Qingyan sweat oozed from his forehead, but his complexion did not change, and his eyes were light: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Tang Xiaoyu increased the intensity of transportation, but smiled extremely gently: "Do you think I am praising you?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I don't think so, I just hope you can lose interest quickly, so that I can leave." ”

Tang Xiaoyu asked softly, "Don't you think it's good for us to chat like this?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "It's very good. Swallowing the groan that was almost out of his mouth, he tilted his head: "I have time to chat with you, but I'm afraid that you will go back late and ruin your big business." ”

Tang Xiaoyu blinked: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Since you don't object, can you tell me what you have done? I'm curious, you killed Bao Zheng, and you can still come here unscathed?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I didn't do anything, and Lord Bao's death has nothing to do with me." ”

Tang Xiaoyu pretended to be surprised: "Is it? Bao Zheng's death has nothing to do with you?"

Zhao Qingyan gave him a big smile back, and his ink-colored eyes also brought a happy smile: "Does it have anything to do with me, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Tang Xiaoyu was stunned, but he didn't get angry, but laughed with interest: "It's okay, I don't care about this matter." I'm more concerned about who can make you risk such a big risk and ask the imperial court to send troops to help?" The internal force flowing from his fingertips strengthened a little: "You should know what I'm talking about." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "Of course I know—but are you sure you really want to hear it?" Sweat was already running down his cheeks, dripping down his chin, wetting the dirt below. The eyes are so deep that they can't see any fluctuations in their hearts.

Tang Xiaoyu's face inadvertently brought a bit of seriousness: "Of course." ”

Zhao Qingyan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, wiped the beads of sweat on his face on his shoulders, and then looked back at Tang Xiaoyu's eyes: "Then I won't even say it?" In less than a cup of tea, his face was as pale as paper, and the sweat he shed had gathered into a puddle on the ground.

Tang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, it's the same as before, it's still so enduring, I'm relieved." ”

Zhao Qingyan naturally knew what he wanted to do, his eyes were unyielding, and the corners of his lips showed a hint of ridicule: "Even if you can ask his identity from me, it's useless, your mother Gu can't threaten all the people who have been affected by Zhu Yanchang." ”

Tang Xiaoyu squinted, completely angered by him, and didn't spare any strength, turned his palm and slapped it directly on him, and his internal strength was swallowed.

Zhao Qingyan screamed uncontrollably, convulsed, the severe pain made his face distorted, and a few traces of blood oozed from his mouth and nose.

Tang Xiaoyu saw that his mouth and nose were oozing blood, and he knew that he was ruthless, but seeing that he didn't seem to have a big problem, he just reduced his internal force output a little bit, and didn't stop.

"Mo'er!" King Huan rushed to the scene when he heard the sound, and what he saw was that Zhao Qingyan, who couldn't even scream, curled up in a ball and convulsed on the ground, while Tang Xiaoyu squatted to the side and watched with a smile.

Tang Xiaoyu saw him and said hello: "Hello Prince Huan." ”

King Huan wanted to step forward to save Zhao Qingyan, but he was afraid that he would offend Tang Xiao and harm his nephew, so he had to stand in place: "What do you want to do?"

Tang Xiaoyu said: "I don't want to do anything, I see that he is poisonous, and I kindly help him force poison." As for now, he is disobedient and makes me angry, so I just punish him. He pointed to the cloudy gray sweat next to him.

King Huan probably knew that most of what he said was true, but when he saw Zhao Qingyan's appearance, he was extremely distressed, hesitated for a while, and asked out loud, "What else do you want to do?"

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Qingyan, who had fainted: "I plan to take him back and clean up the poison." Of course, if you don't want to, I'll go, he can come to me when he wakes up, and I'll seriously consider whether to help him or not. ”

When King Huan heard this, he hurriedly said, "You take him away." ”

Tang Xiaoyu laughed, and stopped laughing for a long time: "This is what you said, think clearly?"

King Huan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded, "Take him away." ”

Tang Xiaoyu got up, and then picked up Zhao Qingyan and carried it on his shoulder: "I'm leaving, I'll naturally let him go back in a few days." Well, leave his horse here, so he can ride it back on his own. "Walk past King Huan.

King Huan silently turned sideways to get out of the way, even if he was dissatisfied with his simple and violent behavior of "taking away" Zhao Qingyan, he could only watch him leave.

"Young Master......" Ran Haoxuan had already come over when he heard the screams just now, but because Zhao Qingyan had asked him not to follow before, he didn't approach. At this time, seeing Tang Xiaoyu carrying Zhao Qingyan out, Ran Haoyu's pupils shrank and he exclaimed, but he stood in place and did not move. Obviously, he and King Huan have the same idea.

Tang Xiaoyu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, you just wait." "Walk away.

Seeing that Ran Haoxuan's eyes were still looking at the direction Tang Xiaoyu had left, King Huan sighed helplessly: "It's getting dark, let's go back to the inn to rest." ”

Ran Haoxuan nodded silently and lowered his eyes.
