Everyone present felt embarrassed. Why did they feel that it was super unnecessary for them to be here at this moment?

We were having a good conversation about business, but suddenly the atmosphere changed. My lord, they are still here, can't you wait until they are gone to express your feelings?

Worried that the lord would think they were in the way, everyone raised their heads and pretended not to understand, and wore transparent casual clothes with their heads lowered, pretending that they did not exist, and tried hard to reduce their sense of existence.

Chen Baiqi's thoughts now are also very simple. She only wants to talk about her career and not her relationship. However, she feels upset because of King Qi's pressing steps. She takes a deep breath and then exhales heavily.

"My lord, if you give an order, Huanxian will obey."

She looked up at him, her eyelashes and moon pupils were as straight and bright as black feathers, and her eyes were as clear and cool as a pool of water.

King Qi's expression froze and his jaw tightened.

These eyes were still beautiful and fresh, but they were too clean and clear inside. Even though he was reflected in them, there was nothing he wanted at all.

King Qi stared into her eyes, his pupils constricted, and there was a pain in his eyes that could not be concealed by being stabbed.

"Chen Huan Xian..."

He closed his eyes quickly to cover up the thin scarlet bloodshot in his eyes. After calling her name, he seemed reluctant to use harsh words to scold her for a moment. The last words stopped abruptly, leaving only his suppressed breathing and

Erratic breathing.

Seeing his eyes closed, Chen Baiqi suddenly felt like a basin of ice water pouring down from her head. She woke up and suddenly realized that her current attitude of acting and speaking based on her emotions was a bit "petty and coquettish".

Since she does not accept other relationships other than those of superiors and subordinates, she should always be careful about her duties. She reflected for a moment and immediately took on the attitude of a minister. She lowered her head and said humbly: "My lord, I am the great remonstrator of the State of Qi. You personally give it to me."

It was sealed, do you still remember?"

King Qi let go of his hand, and the five fingers that were slowly stretched behind his back clenched again the moment he opened his eyes.

Is this using the relationship between king and minister to contain him?

He sneered inwardly.

"Remember."

Seeing that he had regained his calm voice and answered, Chen Baiqi looked at him carefully, but she could not guess his attitude for a moment, but she still decided to make it clear: "Huanxian will do his best for you and make Qi a prosperous country."

Great cause, but Huanxian is not afraid of life and death, but he is only afraid of one thing."

King Qi raised the corners of his mouth, his eyelashes hanging down slantingly, and he asked quietly: "Oh, what's the matter?"

She calmed down her emotions and said calmly: "It's the Lord's distrust."

King Qi couldn't suppress his resentment when he heard the words. He chuckled, as if he was mocking himself, sarcastically, or both. He nodded repeatedly: "It turns out that in Huanxian's heart, if you are not allowed to take risks, it means distrust. If you are worried,

Because your safety is in danger, you are forced to stay by force. You can really convince anyone with your words. You are upright and awe-inspiring, and you can use both force and softness. Even if it is a kind of rebellion, you can turn it into a righteous and solemn one.

I can only accept it silently, right?"

It should be said that King Qi rarely used such harsh words to speak to Chen Baiqi. Although King Qi was seen as a profit-seeking, cold-blooded and selfish image in the eyes of others, he would always carefully restrain himself in front of her.

Although he has a bad temper, he smiles sincerely, not narrowly, not sinisterly, and not treating her with a double heart.

Now that he can't control himself like this, it means that he is really angry.

Chen Baiqi's heart trembled. She lowered her eyelids, lifted her robe and immediately knelt down on the ground. She said with sincere fear: "I don't dare."

The other people were shocked, seeing that King Qi was so angry, and they all knelt down.

"Lord, calm down!"

King Qi ignored the three of them. He only stared coldly at the top of Chen Baiqi's dark hair. She did not raise her head, her back straightened into a straight line, like an unbreakable steel bone. She also did not defend or explain herself.

She just knelt in front of him with a silent gesture of abdication.

Both hateful and hateful!

In the past, he admired her wisdom and coldness in front of others, and her emotional yet principled side in dealing with things. For example, her disciples had always opposed her following a lord like him, and Shanchang Peinan had always been loyal to her in private.

He knew that he had a lot of complaints about him, but although she had always respected her teacher very much, she never compromised or hesitated. She could be said to be stubborn and tenacious about what she wanted to insist on.

In the past, he had secretly compared himself with Chief Peinan, and was secretly happy to learn that she had unswervingly chosen him. However, when her usual calmness, desolateness and stubbornness were applied to him, he knew that he was rejected.

How uncomfortable it is for one party.

There was a sudden dull pain in his heart, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart, including anger and hatred, as well as lingering disappointment and loss.

What can he do to her, and what should he do to her?

King Qi's eyes were blank and desolate, with self-mockery.

For a long time, he passed by her without saying a word. After the footsteps gradually faded away, the others slowly looked up.

Looking back and forth, they saw that their master had left. They breathed a sigh of relief and stood up one after another, as if they were reborn after a disaster.

Seeing that Chen Baiqi was still kneeling on the ground in his previous posture, motionless, like a sculpture, Wei Yan frowned and stepped forward to pull him away.

"Huanxian, how long are you going to kneel down? The lord is gone." Because the arms under his palms were too slender and weak, Wei Yan's big palms were closed, feeling that he did not dare to use too much force for fear of breaking her bones.

Chen Baiqi lowered his head and slowly stood up with Wei Yan's strength.

"Tell me, why do you have to do this!" Su Fang patted his knees, and seeing "Chen Huanxian" and Wei Yan standing together, he took a few steps forward and said angrily.

Chen Baiqi turned his head sideways, his expression somewhat dull and calm: "Otherwise, could we all hold him together and wait to die?"

Su Fang choked.

Is this what he’s talking about? Ah, is this what he’s talking about?!

I know that she is pretending to be confused, but Su Fang can't clarify the matter at this time. The matter between her and the lord... well, it is really confusing and confusing.

Yuan Ping on the side didn't think too deeply. He only felt that the conversation between the lord and Huanxian was weird and smelled of gunpowder. He frowned and persuaded: "Then you can explain to the lord in a tactful tone."

"How to be tactful?" Chen Baiqi turned to look at him again, his dark eyes staring at him unblinkingly.

This...makes sense. Yuan Ping blinked his eyes guiltily. He also felt that the problem with "Chen Huanxian" was not big and reasonable, but..."You, you can negotiate with the lord Haosheng in private to explain, in front of so many people

My lord, you don’t want to lose face.”

When Wei Yan heard this, he stuck his head out and interjected strangely: "I don't understand why the Lord is so opposed to this matter. Huanxian is a smart person, so I believe her. She will definitely have a way to obtain the enemy's information.

"

After hearing this, the other two people rolled their eyes at him.

"You know nothing!"

——

Since King Qi left without saying a word, after Chen Bai's uprising, he took it as his acquiescence that she would go to Luoyang to work as a spy.

Without further ado, once the decision was made, she proposed to leave on the same day.

Before leaving, she specially bid farewell to King Qi, but King Qi stayed behind closed doors.

Chen Baiqi stared at the closed door with complex eyes, stood quietly on the doorstep for a while, and then said: "My lord, Huanxian is leaving for Luoyang immediately, and I came here to say goodbye."

The house was as quiet as ever.

"I wonder, my lord, do you have something important to ask Huanxian?"

For a long time, there was still no sound in the room. Seeing that he was determined to fight to the end, Chen Baiqi sighed softly.

"Huanxian bids farewell."

She turned around and just took a few steps when she heard the door creaking behind her.

She immediately turned around on her toes and turned around, only to see King Qi standing there with the door open.

Her expression showed a hint of surprise at the right time.

She was standing in the courtyard, and he was standing under the threshold, one in the dark and the other in the light, at opposite ends, as if they were standing on a bank.

Finally, he spoke.

"I am here alone, waiting for good news."

The wind blew his hair up and down, and he was dressed in brocade and fox fur, but he still had a cold and evil face, and his red lips were fluttering.

Chen Baiqi also laughed.

She folded her palms and bowed deeply.

"Determined... to live up to the great trust."

——

Chen Baiqi left Weishahe Town on horseback with his two masters and servants overnight. They walked quietly, running along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and finally dismounted next to an ancient road pavilion.

She looked at the end of the trail and waited patiently. Soon she saw a fast horse galloping towards her.

Chen Baiqi's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him, while Juye picked up two horses and followed him.

The horse stopped and immediately turned over a man, who was also carrying a gray hemp bag on his back.

There was a large living creature inside the sack, which was moaning and struggling.

"Give."

The person who came was none other than Hu Lixiu. He slid the bag off his shoulders and threw it directly to Ju.

Juban straightened his face, opened his arms and easily caught it, then straightened the bag and placed it on the ground.
