Outside a not-so-conspicuous Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital, Xie Yan stood by the woods and looked at Zhuangzi not far away.
It was just after noon, but the sky was still gray. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky, always making people feel as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
Gu Jue followed Xie Yan and said with some confusion: "Your Majesty, is Qu Tiange really here?"
Xie Yan did not speak, but nodded slightly.
Gu Jue tightened his sword in his hand and said, "Then let's go in?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said, "You guys wait outside while I go in."
"Your Majesty, this..." Although Qu Tiange was injured, no one knew how seriously he was injured. What if he deliberately lured the prince here to set up an ambush for a sneak attack...
Xie Yan said: "No need to say more, I will come back as soon as I go." Gu Jue had no choice but to nod in agreement and wait outside with his people.
The village of Luo Mingxiang was her dowry. The area of the village is not small. There are five or six families living on the village. They are responsible for cultivating the land on the village and taking care of the entire village. This is Luo Mingxiang's private property, and the income from the village belongs to her alone.
human.
Mrs. Su hoped that her daughter could live a stable and prosperous life in her husband's family. Not only did she choose Zhuangzi to marry people with good crops, but the people who managed Zhuangzi also chose people who were loyal to the Luo family and worthy of trust.
Although the master doesn't usually live here, he can't guarantee that he will come over occasionally to visit or rest. There is still a two-entry courtyard on the village dedicated to the master's residence.
Xie Yan appeared quietly in the courtyard. The entire courtyard was silent, not even a human figure.
At this time, all the farmers on Zhuangzi were working outside, so it was naturally quiet inside.
Xie Yan stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands. After a moment, a low and weak voice came from inside, "Prince Regent, please come in."
Xie Yan strolled to the door, opened the door and saw Qu Tiange leaning on the couch in the hall. Although his clothes were clean and neat, he was wearing a coarse cloth.
Apparently it was taken from the home of an unknown young man in Zhuangzi.
Before entering the door, Xie Yan smelled a faint smell of blood mixed with the aroma of medicine, and couldn't help but look at Qu Tiange with slightly raised eyebrows.
Qu Tiange smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks to the regent, the prince has married a good princess." Even Qu Tiange himself did not expect that he would fall into Luo Junyao's hands.
Therefore, it is bad to underestimate the enemy and be careless.
Xie Yan stepped into the hall and looked at Qu Tiange condescendingly.
Qu Tiange said: "I don't mean to offend Miss Luo, but the injury has worsened in the past two days, and I really don't have the strength to walk to the capital." If he hadn't entered the village at that time, and it snowed for two days, the injury would have worsened.
Sleeping in the wild again, even he may have to give a full account.
Xie Yan said calmly: "You can talk to General Luo and Miss Luo about this matter."
Qu Tiange said nothing. Although he grew up outside the Great Wall, he still knew some of Dasheng's rules after staying in the Central Plains for a long time.
Thinking of the trouble he caused Miss Luo twice, it was really unkind.
As for Luo Yun, he really didn't want to provoke the general.
Qu Tiange sighed, looked up and said to Xie Yan: "Since the prince has not sent troops to hunt me down, he must not want my life. I had no choice but to offend the princess before, so just say whatever you want."
Xie Yan didn't answer, just looked at him indifferently.
Qu Tiange asked directly: "How can the regent be willing to let his master go?"
Xie Yan said: "Let him go? Let him go back and continue to be Bai Jingrong's dog?"
A trace of anger flashed in Qu Tiange's eyes. Although he had always found Qu Fang's appearance of being driven by Bai Jingrong annoying, like a puppet who had been possessed by his soul. This had once made him very disappointed with this master and decided to stay away.
he.
But this does not mean that he can calmly listen to others scolding others for playing music like a dog.
"Regent……"
Xie Yan didn't want to take care of his mood, so he interrupted him directly and said: "You serve me for ten years in exchange for Qu Fang's life. I can let him go immediately, but he will abolish his martial arts and will not be allowed to leave for the rest of his life."
Shangyong."
Qu Tiange frowned, "No." As a martial arts practitioner, he naturally knew what it meant to abolish martial arts, although he didn't know if Qu Fang still had the intention to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts.
Xie Yan didn't care and said: "It's okay if you don't want to abolish your martial arts. He will continue to live in the prison. Of course... for your sake, I will change him to a better environment."
"How long?" Qu Tiange couldn't help but start to consider the possibility of Tian Jie Prison. Of course, it is definitely not possible now.
Xie Yan seemed to see Qu Tiange's thoughts and said: "I have not restricted Qu Fang's martial arts cultivation. If he can't get out, you can try to challenge the newly designed defense mechanisms of Tianlao in recent years. However,
You'd better remember that if you fail once, I will cut off the music and let go of one hand."
Qu Tiange took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The prince wants me to serve you for ten years. What will happen after ten years? What will my master do?"
Xie Yan said: "There is no time limit for this. When will Bai Jingrong die, I will release the song."
"..." Qu Tiange was a little suspicious. Xie Yan was instigating him to go back and kill Bai Jingrong as soon as possible.
I don't know how long it took before Qu Tiange's voice finally sounded in the room, "Okay, I promise the prince. I hope the prince will do what he says and no one will trample on or humiliate the master."
"I don't have such a hobby." Xie Yan said calmly.
Kill people, kill people, Xie Yan has never been interested in humiliating and abusing others.
Gu Jue waited outside Zhuangzi for no more than a quarter of an hour when he saw Xie Yan carrying someone out.
Even though he was holding a person whose stature was almost the same as his own, His Highness the Regent still looked as graceful and at ease as a swan flying in the sky.
After falling in front of Gu Jue, Xie Yan threw Qu Tiange to the ground. Qu Tiange snorted and took a breath before slowly standing up holding the tree.
Gu Jue looked at the other person and found that it was indeed Qu Tiange. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Isn't this Mr. Qu? The injury is not healed yet?"
Gu Jue knew that Qu Tiange was injured by Luo Junyao's gun, and it had been several days, but looking at Qu Tiange's condition, it still seemed very serious.
You know, a master of Qu Tiange's level has a much stronger wound healing ability than ordinary people. Even if he is injured by an arrow, as long as he is treated properly, he should be better in a few days. Qu Tiange, this
Instead of looking better, he looks more serious. He is just relying on his deep inner strength to support himself.
Qu Tiange said: "It made General Gu laugh."
Gu Jue smiled and said: "Young Master Qu is serious."
Without waiting for them to exchange greetings, Xie Yan ordered: "Take him back and let the imperial doctor come and take a look."
Gu Jue accepted with his hand and summoned two guards to take Qu Tiange away.
Qu Tiange nodded towards the two of them and walked forward without being escorted.
After only taking a few steps, he fell to the ground with a plop.
"Huh?" Gu Jue raised his eyebrows in surprise. It wasn't until the guards carried Qu Tiange away that he said, "Is he hurt so badly?"
Xie Yan said indifferently: "The injury has worsened."
Therefore, it is hard to say whether the deal between him and Qu Tiange will be successful. These days, once the injury worsens and ulcerates, there are not many medicines that can treat it, and survival depends mostly on life. Although people with strong martial arts skills can survive
It may be bigger, but it's not like no master has lost his life due to a little accidental injury.
Gu Jue clicked his tongue and said: "The princess is really powerful, she can knock down a top master with one shot."
"If his injury is healed, how does the prince plan to deal with him?" It is actually difficult to deal with a master like Qu Tiange. It would be a pity to kill him, but it is also difficult to control him if he wants to use him for his own use.
Bai Jingrong was so powerful, and she had so many masters under her, even Qu Fang obeyed her. But Qu Tiange was so polite to her, no matter how he tried to win over her, it was useless, and he had to give up in the end.
Xie Yan said calmly: "He served me for ten years, and I spared Qu Fang."
Hearing this, Gu Jue couldn't help but frown, "Do you really want to play music?"
"Of course not." Xie Yan strolled forward, "In two months, try to let Qu Fang know that Qu Tiange sacrificed his life to save him and voluntarily took Qin Yao'er's poison."
Gu Jue looked at his prince in surprise, "Do you really want to give Qu Tiange poison? Could it be..." Not good?
Top masters are all arrogant. If you use poison to control this kind of thing, you will be overturned if you are not careful. It is really a dangerous thing to leave a top master with a resentment by your side.
Xie Yan said: "No, let Qin Yao'er send the poison to Qu Fang to take."
"Where is Naqu Tiange..."
"If he survives, I will tell him personally." Xie Yan left these words and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Gu Jue, who was left behind, looked puzzled, "Put poison on Qu? Why?" Why poison a person who is imprisoned in the sky prison? Isn't this a waste?
A slightly charming laugh sounded from behind him, "This is not simple, the prince wants to use music to play. How wasteful it would be to lock such a top master in a sky prison? Maybe he can even make Qu Tiange owe a debt
The prince is just a favor."
Gu Jue turned to look at Cui Zheyu who was walking out of the forest, frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
Cui Zheyu smiled sweetly and said: "The prince ordered me to deal with the aftermath. This is the eldest daughter of the Luo family. We can't let anyone find out that a man has lived here, right? And don't all the blood stains and dirt need to be cleaned up?"
Gu Jue looked at Cui Zheyu and nodded.
Cui Zheyu has changed a lot these days. Although it doesn't look like much, people who know her well know the difference.
The smile on his face is less than before, but it is much more sincere.
The gloom and hostility hidden between his eyebrows have also dissipated a lot, and he looks more lively, as if he is a bit younger.
Gu Jue said: "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Cui. I'll leave first."
Cui Zheyu waved his hand, indicating that he could help himself.
Gu Jue thought for a while and suddenly said: "By the way, is the young master from Prince Ancheng's palace still chasing you?"
Hearing this, the smile on Cui Zheyu's face faded, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Jue said: "When Yu Chen dies, forget about the past. In fact, that guy is not bad, you can consider it."
"..." Cui Zheyu was silent for a long time before he couldn't help but scolded: "Get out of here, no big or small! I think I should tell the princess to worry about your marriage."
Gu Jue smiled and said: "I do want to marry, isn't it true?"
Who else wants to be alone like her and Wei Changting? He wishes he could find a wife of his choice as soon as possible.
Doesn’t it smell good when your wife and children are hot on the kang?
