Suzaku Divine Monarch just sighed quietly. www.biquge.info I could have killed her, or I could have killed you, and I had already done it—but now that I chose to stop it, I won't do it again.

Thank you, God. Zhuo Yan didn't explain much.

You can take her away now. Suzaku Divine Monarch said. If someone asks about her identity, tell him that she is a new envoy.

Qiu Guanghan's heart jumped.

Be. Zhuo Yan just responded lightly.

Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch's gaze turned to Qiu Guanghan's face again. She is very beautiful, whether it is her own or Zhuo Yan's, she is also very beautiful. Of course, he knew that there were lies in the words of the two of them, but the flash that Zhuo Yan blocked for Qiu Guanghan would not be fake. To let a person like Zhuo Yan, who has always been sensible, do such a thing--he sighed in his heart--probably it can only be such a woman, right?

He also felt that it was a pity to kill her, and he didn't want to lose such a good subordinate as Zhuo Yan. It is better to give her to him.

Zhuo Yan pulled Qiu Guanghan out of the door. As soon as the door closed, Qiu Guanghan clenched his hand. Brother Zhuo. She said softly. But Zhuo Yan didn't speak. He just kept walking, walking briskly, until he walked out of a distance of more than 100 steps, Qiu Guanghan could barely keep up, he only had time to call Brother Zhuo a few times, and he didn't have time to say anything.

After more than a hundred steps, Zhuo Yan suddenly stopped, let go of her hand, and slowly leaned against the wall. He looked like he had collapsed, his back against the wall, just gasping slightly.

Qiu Guanghan had never seen him like this. He was also afraid of Fang Cai's affairs in his heart, but her mood seemed to be much calmer, so she was not so nervous for a long time, and just gently took his hand at the moment, and said, Brother Zhuo, Fang Cai......

Who knew that Zhuo Yan shook her off. As I said, you'd better not call me that. He said coldly.

Qiu Guanghan's complexion changed slightly. What happened to you?

I'll send you back to your room now. Zhuo Yan said bluntly. You are now the envoy of Suzaku Villa, and when this name comes out, no one in the villa will dare to provoke you.

Am I not your woman?" Qiu Guanghan teased.

I can't afford it. Zhuo Yan seemed to have finished resting, and pulled her to leave, but this choking tone made Qiu Guanghan unbearable. This time, she threw him away with her backhand, and said, what do you mean, didn't you just say that you like me?

Don't get me wrong. Zhuo Yan said. I just want to save your life -- only in this way can I bring out the fact that you killed the envoy last year, so that he thinks I was trying to hide it for you, so I didn't give him an explanation last year. This also happens to give you the identity of this envoy - because among the Seven Envoys of Suzaku, there are many people who have killed the previous envoy and sat in this position. And you are the daughter of pure yin, with your ruthlessness, it may be considered a merit in the eyes of the Divine Monarch.

Am I ruthless? Qiu Guanghan felt like he was about to cry. You're ruthless, you're clear...... She snorted, and suddenly thought of the block he was in front of her, and the cold sweat on his body. You...... Don't lie to me! I don't believe that if you tell a lie, how can you be willing to stand in the way of such danger!

Zhuo Yan snorted. Why should I lie to you. I stopped that, only because I said I would protect your life—and I promised the man who entrusted me. I've never been able to hide from people like you, how dare I like it!

Who entrusted you with your life?

It's worth it, because you don't know how much I owe him.

More than life......

This kind of thing is not worth mentioning compared to the price he paid!Zhuo Yan said. So if you dare to say anything bad about him in front of me, don't blame me for not treating you as a woman.

When did I say anything bad about him? I don't even know who he is! Qiu Guanghan said, but suddenly there was a stir. Could it be...... Could it be the ...... That one......

She wanted to say "that yin and yang weird man", but she didn't dare, so she had to stop, and said, I still don't understand, who is he? I don't know him at all!

Do you understand why he suddenly appeared yesterday and kicked you out of the Divine Monarch's room?

I...... I see, it wasn't you who told him to save me, it was he who came on his own - but you said yesterday that you didn't expect him to be like this, and if he entrusted you, how could you not expect it?

My dad didn't expect it, because he had been just begging me to take care of Ling Li, but I didn't expect that he would have to take care of even a sharp woman. Although I didn't mention that you are a pure yin body, I told him that you are a woman that Ling Li likes. Do you know -- you know that he actually hates the Divine Monarch to the core, and if the Divine Monarch had not been pestering and coercing him, he probably would not have been willing to see the Divine Monarch at all, and if the Divine Monarch really married a new love one day, it would be a great joy for him - but for your sake, he would rather do that kind of thing that he never wanted to do to be coquettish to others, do you know how painful it is for him?

Qiu Guanghan was silent. She wanted to say something, but she didn't want to add fuel to the fire. She only felt that this thing was too unbelievable, and it was as difficult for her to believe that the pretentious man was actually pretending, just as it was difficult for her to see the pretentious man at first and not feel disgusting.

But...... But I've said those bad things a long time ago, why are you angry with me now? After a while, she whispered and said aggrievedly.

Because you have an identity now. Zhuo Yan's voice softened. Therefore, there is no need to hide a lot of things from you here.

That...... So...... Qiu Guanghan thought for a while and said, Originally, you only said that you were entrusted to take care of me, but yesterday you suddenly said that you would take care of me, and it was because he only said this to you yesterday?

Zhuo Yan nodded and smiled bitterly. I seem to have more and more people to take care of......

But...... He...... What is his relationship with Ling Li, and why should he be so kind to him, or even to me?

His surname is Qu, his name is An, this name must be known to you? Zhuo Yan's words, word by word, seemed to hit Qiu Guanghan's heart.

Qu An? She almost cried out. This one...... This man is Qu An?

Zhuo Yan nodded.

How did he end up here? How did he become...... It became......

Zhuo Yan smiled bitterly. It's because of me.

Qiu Guanghan's eyes widened. You?

Zhuo Yan looked at her. That's how much I owe him.

Exactly......

How about we say these things in a different place?

What do you mean...... Linyun Cliff?

Zhuo Yan nodded. Linyun Cliff.

------------------

Linyun Cliff.

Zhuo Yan's brows were rarely stretched.

-------------------

After I made that bet with Ling Li about you last year, you seem to have gone to the martial arts tournament then, right?

It seems to be. Didn't you go too?

I'll go back to Suzaku Mountain Resort. Zhuo Yan said. The envoy died in the Vermilion Bird Cave, and I let you go, so I can't explain to the Divine Monarch.

Yes, I've heard.

Even so, I had to go back to Suzaku Villa. Zhuo Yan said. Because if I don't hide, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain.

Well.

But it was near the glacier that I met Qu'an.

Qiu Guanghan knew that he would continue to speak, so he didn't say anything.

He appears to have suffered severe internal injuries and is unconscious. I saw that this person looked like Ling Li, and I was immediately curious.

He...... Qiu Guanghan had obviously seen Qu An, but he hadn't thought back to the place where he had come up with it.

I don't know why, although I can't say anything similar when I look closely, but I just feel very similar.

So you saved him?

Zhuo Yan nodded. I took him to Suzaku Villa.

But this ...... Isn't this a big taboo in Suzaku Villa?

But only the cold air of this glacier can temporarily suppress the wounds in his body.

But in this way, it is you who saved his life, how can it become that you owe him a favor?

Because I didn't expect the Divine Monarch to take a fancy to him.

Qiu Guanghan was speechless. When a man falls in love with a man, she doesn't even think about it, it's as ridiculous as asking her to fall in love with a woman. Of course, it is not surprising that Zhuo Yan did not expect it.

But I should actually be careful. Zhuo Yan smiled bitterly again. I only later remembered that in addition to many women, Shenjun did find some men to accompany him in the past. He likes those beautiful men who are pale and thin, Qu An is already pale and thin after his injury, and he happens to be a beautiful man. It's a pity that I've been away from the villa for so long that I've forgotten this habit of the god king.

But...... Even so, I can't blame you, after all, you were kind enough to save him.

Zhuo Yan shook her head. When I went back to the villa to meet with the Divine Monarch, I said that the murderer had not been found, and that I had brought a stranger into the Villa, both of which annoyed the Divine Monarch. These two things combined, even if he asked me to apologize with death, I didn't say a word. But he obviously didn't make up his mind either, so he asked me to go to the "unbearable cold" to reflect on it.

Is that a very cold place? Qiu Guanghan pointed to the peak on the side.

Zhuo Yan nodded. There it is.

His gaze was fixed on the peak, and there seemed to be a rare sadness.

I spent the whole night up there, and it was cold and the breath was ice, and I am afraid that the cold was not something you can imagine. I had to fight the cold all night, and by the time I came down in the morning, I was almost exhausted.

He paused.

But I didn't know that on this very night, Shenjun had already done something I never dared to believe he would do—he had powdered Qu An's medicine. When Qu An regained consciousness, he realized that he had become one of the many male favorites of the Divine Monarch.

He--Suzaku Kami-kun-he's-he's--

He never had this way before. He never used drugs as a method, and it was even more cowardly to force others to do that kind of thing while they were asleep - but the Divine Monarch used it that day. Later, I learned that long before that day, when Shenjun first knew that such a person had come to Suzaku Villa, he had already approached Qu An without my knowledge, trying to do something to him, but of course he didn't succeed, because how could a normal man agree to such a request. It's a pity that Qu An was grateful to me for saving him, and he was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so he didn't tell me about it.

When he learned of this misfortune that morning, he was naturally in pain. Imagine a dignified man, especially a man with enough backbone like Qu An, if this kind of thing happens, will he feel worse than death? But he is also a bloody man - even if he wants to die, he must first kill the god king to avenge it.

That day, when I came down from "Invincible Cold" and went to Shenjun again, I didn't know about it, what I saw was Qu An attacking Shenjun from behind. He used to be the gold medal killer of Black Bamboo, so I naturally thought that he had fallen for his tricks, thinking that he had infiltrated Suzaku Mountain Villa with bitter meat to assassinate the Divine Monarch - so I intervened to stop him, and - injured his left arm. He should have had time to wipe the blade in his hand into his neck, but because he was injured, he was stopped by the Divine Monarch.

Then, Qiu Guanghan was so nervous that he only had time to say, "Then?"

And then—and then the Divine Monarch looked at me and came up with an idea.

He......

He looked at me and said that it was all my Zhuo Yan's fault that this kind of thing happened, and coupled with the previous incident, he had already thought about it and decided to execute me.

Qiu Guanghan suddenly understood. He wants you to die - because you made a mistake. But you are Qu An's life-saving benefactor, Qu An will not watch you die, so he actually used your life to blackmail Qu An?

Not bad. Zhuo Yan said painfully. He could have killed me, but what he really wanted was not my life, but Qu An. He wanted Qu An to agree to be his man - no man should agree to such a ridiculous request, and if it were me, even if someone had saved my life, I probably wouldn't have agreed.

But Qu An agreed?

Zhuo Yan had turned her face away. I don't know how much humiliation he had to endure to accede to such conditions. Or maybe he thinks that he has been insulted anyway, and even if he is dead now, he can't change this fact, so ......

He stopped and said no more, because Qiu Guanghan had already held his hand. I'm sorry. She muttered. Sorry I was ...... before I was talking nonsense before, I didn't know about him...... I don't know if he's ...... Wretched......

She suddenly hugged Zhuo Yan. You can't be blamed for that. She hugged him tightly. It's just that Suzaku Shenjun is too cruel and inhumane......! Don't think about it anymore, okay?

Zhuo Yan didn't move. Hugged by her cold body, it seems that she can really calm down a little. He really calmed down, and even smiled, and said weakly, You don't have to feel sorry for me, because I brought you here in the hope that the Divine Monarch would turn to favor you and let Qu An no longer suffer so much - but unfortunately it didn't work. Is there anything else you want to ask now?

Qiu Guanghan did not speak. She suddenly remembered the way the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch looked at Zhuo Yan and the iron claw he had withdrawn.

He should have heard our lies. He didn't kill Zhuo Yan, maybe not because he wanted to keep Zhuo Yan at all, but just to keep Qu An.

She still didn't move. She suddenly remembered another person, another thing.

Early that morning, outside the inn, she clearly heard Su Fufeng pestering Yu Rui many times and preventing him from leaving the bed.

How similar this is to Qu An's performance yesterday!

Could it be that she, like Qu An, was also trying to save someone? Did she know that once Yu Rui left that bed, she would go to attack Ling Li?

Qiu Guanghan thought in a daze, and even forgot that he had hugged Zhuo Yan for a long time. Zhuo Yan had no choice but to say, Qiu Zhen, if you want to hug me, you can wait until the dead of night.

Qiu Guanghan hurriedly let go of him, but his expression was still stunned. Brother Ling, perhaps...... Still misunderstanding her. She muttered.

What did Ling Li misunderstand about him? Zhuo Yan obviously didn't know that she had thought of someone else.

Not...... No. Qiu Guanghan came back to his senses. I wondered, what kind of friendship did they have? It seems that when Qu An left Heizhu, Ling Li was still very young, but since they are very similar, will they be brothers?

Qu An is about thirty-six or seven this year. Zhuo Yan said. How's that?

He was twenty-one years old. Qiu Guanghan said. Although it is far away, it is not impossible.

If not, Qu An shouldn't have any special reason to take care of him, right? He is generally reluctant to ask for help, and since he asks me for help, it must be very important.

He didn't tell you why?

Zhuo Yan shook her head.

It turns out that Qu An, who has never been found, will be here. Qiu Guanghan was a little gloomy. But this was last year, so many years ago, where did Qu An go? What happened when he fought Liu Jing?

This kind of question, you have to ask him yourself.

Will I be able to meet him?

Now, it may be a little harder.

Why?

Because Shenjun is afraid that if you are jealous, it will be detrimental to Qu An.

Am I jealous? Qiu Guanghan was stunned, but when he thought about it carefully, he also had some truth, and he couldn't help laughing.

Because you behave the way you do in front of him today—the Divine Monarch naturally thinks that you still want to win his favor. Zhuo Yan added.

I meant to be.

Zhuo Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly. Qiu Guanghan also smiled. Actually, I was still very nervous - you see, from yesterday to today, I was so nervous that I forgot to give him the sword.

Can you still remember this?, Zhuo Yan laughed again.

What about you, look at you, your clothes are soaked with nervousness! Qiu Guanghan also made fun of him.

Suddenly there was silence. Qiu Guanghan's hair flew in the mountain wind.

Just suddenly.

-------------------------

The banquet was ready, and the bow was as long as meat was already on the cutting board.

Tuoba looked at him with a smile, but a dagger was in his hand, and it was obvious that it was not good.

Xia Zheng, the owner of Xiajiazhuang, who has always been famous for his chivalry, did not seem to object to such a threat, and sat silently on the side, silent.

Tuoba Guling poured wine. Everyone had a glass in front of them. The wine was still in the glass, and the heavy aroma had wafted in, indicating that the wine was unusually strong.

Zhang envoy please. Tuoba made a gesture. Zhang Gongchang was so nervous that his throat rolled several times, he picked up his wine glass, and said in his heart, You will not poison me with the first glass of wine--if you poison me, who will you ask?

The wine is unusually spicy. Zhang Gongchang believes that he has a good amount of alcohol, so he is not taboo a lot, and he will never get drunk - the location of Suzaku Villa, no matter how you talk about it, I won't say it. Tuoba looked at him, but the wine in his hand did not move.

If the sect leader doesn't drink it himself, it will inevitably ...... Zhang Gongchang provoked.

Instead, Tuoba put the cup down. Zhang is so bold, I Tuoba Gu's wine, you dare to drink it?

Why don't you dare?" Zhang Gongchang snorted coldly. It's just death, and there's no way you're going to poison it!

Naturally, there is no poison in the wine, but I don't know if Zhang Envoy has heard a statement. Tuoba is lonely and authentic. It is said that if the person who has won the green dragon palm drinks alcohol, what will happen?

Zhang Gongchang's heart flickered. If you are in the palm of the green dragon, you must not drink, and he has heard of this statement. But he has not received the power of the green dragon, could it be that Tuoba Gu wants to do it now?

He gritted his teeth again, drank the second glass of wine, wiped his lips and said, if the Tuoba Sect Master wants to force him after all, then Zhang Mou can't lose the face of Suzaku Villa, and he will accompany him to the end!

But after the second glass of wine, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a hot current in his body, and the numb and itchy taste made him feel weak. He was horrified in his heart and said, "You...... You're still in the wine after all......

Before the words were finished, he saw Tuoba Gu pick up his wine glass, drank it all, and said, What did you say?

I...... Zhang Gongchang was speechless.

Tuoba Gu swung the dagger in his hand forward, and said, If you feel uncomfortable, you might as well cut a few knives on your body and let the wine flow some, and it will be fine.

But I didn't fall into your green dragon's palm, why did I ......

The day before yesterday, you were instructed by him to seal six key points, and the internal strength hurt the internal organs, how could you get better so quickly. Xia Zheng said on the side.

Originally...... I see...... Zhang Gongchang only felt that the strength of the wine urged the internal injuries to attack, not only the pain and itching, but also the shortness of breath, even his face became red.

So if you answer his question well, you won't have to be so painful. Xia Zheng said again.

Zhang Gongchang laughed and said hoarsely, unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly, the hero Xia Zheng is also such a villain...... Hey......

Tuoba Gu used the dagger to play with again. You don't have to provoke him--the owner of Xia Zhuang said this, but he sympathized with you--he had also been hit by the green dragon palm back then, and he had drunk wine after that--he knew it very well. If you still want a good end, it's better not to be smart.

Despicable villain...... Zhang Gongchang only had time to say these words, and he bit his lip uncomfortably. But even his lips were a little numb, his eyes were red, and the blood was exposed.

Do you know the whereabouts of Ling Li?

I don't know. Zhang Gongchang replied subconsciously.

When was the last time you saw him?

I've only seen him before...... Once!

Tuoba Gu looked at Xia Zheng, Xia Zheng frowned slightly, but also nodded slightly.

With your martial arts, why can't you kill Ling Li?

Zhang Gongchang snorted lightly. Because he has a good woman!

Tuoba Gu had heard Xia Zheng say this, and Zhang Gongchang said so, and he was sure that there was no lie in it. In fact, under Zhang Gongchang's pain, he just said or didn't say two choices, and how could he have the strength to compile it.

Who are the seven "Seven Envoys of the Vermilion Bird"? Tuoba Gu asked again.

Zhang Gongchang snorted and said, You may not know each other. (To be continued.) )
