Jiang Huaihe hesitated for a moment and slowly raised his head. As he expected, he looked up and saw a gloomy face.

Jiang Huaihe opened his mouth to say something, but he found that he had nothing to say.

The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and then they heard Zhou Jingxuan say: "Where did you learn this trick?"

"What's the relationship between you and me? Just ask me to save Liu Qi,"

"Although Liu Qi did some things with Zhou Zhaohe, I have to say that he is a good official."

"And at the critical moment, he was the one who killed all of Zhou Zhaohe's men."

"Although he is guilty, his sin does not lead to death."

"The merits and demerits are equal to each other, and the most you can do is to be dismissed."

"You beg me, can I still help you?"

"But are you going to kneel down?"

"Jiang Huaihe, you are getting more and more outrageous!"

Jiang Huaihe, who Zhou Jingxuan said, was stunned for a moment. After a moment, Jiang Huaihe's eyes turned red, but he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Jingxuan rolled his eyes at him: "Why don't you get up even if you are addicted to kneeling on the ground?"

Jiang Huaihe made a gesture to get up, but the next moment he looked up at Zhou Jingxuan.

Zhou Jingxuan frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Are you really addicted?"

Jiang Huaihe glared at him: "My legs are numb!"

Zhou Jingxuan's eyebrows softened a bit, and Jiang Huaihe, who was reaching out to the ground, smiled and passed his hand over to use his strength to get up from the ground.

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at him: "Tell me, what's going on with Liu Qi?"

Jiang Huaihe repeated Liu Qi's words and then looked at Zhou Jingxuan nervously: "If Liu Xiang dies, Yixue will definitely be extremely sad."

"I...I have no choice."

"I just want him to survive."

Zhou Jingxuan patted him on the shoulder: "I know, Liu Qi will send someone to protect him later."

"He has made a great contribution today. If he did something like that, Uncle Zhaohe will definitely not let him go."

"I, Zhou Jingxuan, am not the kind of person who burns bridges by crossing rivers."

"Since Liu Qi betrayed Zhou Zhaohe because of us and for Da Zhou, he should naturally protect him."

"The things he did will naturally be liquidated under national law."

After receiving Zhou Jingxuan's words, Jiang Huaihe felt relieved.

He has known Zhou Jingxuan for many years, so he naturally understands him, and he will definitely do what he says.

Since he said this, Liu Qi will not die.

When Liu Qi returned to the mansion, the sky had completely darkened.

Lanterns had been hung up in the mansion, and as soon as he returned, his servants came to report that Jiang Huaihe had left with the young lady.

Liu Qi nodded, indicating that he understood, and waved his hand to let the servants go down.

Sitting alone in the yard, he asked his servant to prepare a pot of warm wine.

He has been with Zhou Zhaohe for so many years, so he naturally knows his temperament.

He hates betrayal the most, and he will never let him go if he does such a thing.

If it's tonight, if it's too late, it'll only be three or four days.

Now that Yixue has been taken away by Jiang Huaihe, he no longer has any worries in his heart, and he will die as soon as he dies.

When the food and wine were delivered, Liu Qi poured himself a glass, recalling that he had been satisfied for half his life.

Back then, his only wish was to become a parent and official for the people to benefit them.

And later, he climbed step by step to his current position. What regrets does he have?

After a glass of wine, Liu Qi felt relieved again, but he had struggled for half his life, but now he felt a little lonely.

Liu Qi drank one glass after another.

In the past, he was cautious in his words and actions and never got drunk.

He was in a high position, and his words and deeds were all being watched, but now he could finally get drunk for a while.

A cold wind passed by, and Liu Qi was shaken all over.

He raised his eyes and looked somewhere, only to see a short figure appearing on the wall.

Liu Qi knew that his killer was coming.

Although he already knew that he would die, he was still a little scared when the moment actually came.

The figure standing on the wall glanced at him coldly, then jumped down.

It was Zhou Zhaohe, the old man in the yard.

The old man put one hand behind his back and stared at Liu Qi with a gloomy gaze: "Liu Qi, the master regards you as his confidant, but this is how you repay the master?"

"Wang San, Liu Siniang, and Xiao Wu all died for their masters."

"But you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Now the old man is here to take away your life."

After saying that, before Liu Qi could say anything, he grabbed Liu Qi's neck with all his fingers.

Liu Qi was just a scholar, and the old man in front of him was a master among masters, better than his twin brother.

Of course, Liu Qi couldn't hide. Just as the hand was about to grab him, a cold light flashed at the very edge of life and death.

The old man immediately retracted his hand, and a long sword not far away was inserted into the ground, and the sword body was shaking.

An Er breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and luckily he caught up.

Otherwise, if he had taken one step too late, Prime Minister Liu's life would have been lost.

An Er looked at the old man with cold eyes, and was stunned when he saw the old man's appearance clearly, because he had seen this old man before.

It was this old man who hurt An Yi last time, but wasn't he killed by his master later?

He saw it with his own eyes!

Why are you alive again!

An Er stared at the old man, and his subordinates quietly gestured for someone to move in for reinforcements.

No matter whether the old man came back from the dead or looked similar to him.

It looks unfathomable.

An Er knew clearly that he would not be able to defeat the man in front of him. It didn't matter if he died. What was important was to fulfill his master's orders and protect Prime Minister Lin.

The old man glanced at An Er and said sharply: "Zhou Jingxuan's people?"

Then he looked at Lin Qi bitterly: "Lin Qi, you traitor, you actually colluded with Zhou Jingxuan."

"You know that the master will not let you go, so you should seek protection from Zhou Jingxuan."

"Humph, so what, do you think this group of rabble is my opponent?"

"I must take your life today."

After that, he kicked off his feet and flew towards Lin Qi very quickly.

There was a cold light in his hand, and he actually held a steel needle in his hand.

If this happens, Lin Qi will die immediately.

But how could An Er let him succeed? He stepped forward to stop the old man.

There was a huge gap in martial arts between An Er and the old man. If he hadn't experienced hundreds of battles, he wouldn't have been able to hold him back for a while.

An Er was soon defeated. He half-knelt on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The old man looked at him with gloomy eyes: "There is a way to heaven but you don't take it, but there is no way to hell and you insist on coming."

"Since you want to protect Lin Qi, the old man will take your life first!"

A cold light flashed on the old man's face. He thought that as long as he killed Zhou Jingxuan's people, it would create trouble for Zhou Jingxuan.

He happened to kill the kid in front of him so that Zhou Jingxuan would know that even if his master failed this time, he was not someone to be trifled with.

Originally, he was just planning to kill Liu Qi, but since he took the initiative, he would naturally not be merciful when facing Zhou Jingxuan's people!
