Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Miss the girl very much?

Jiang Qingwu's mind buzzed, he looked at the man who fell to the ground, and strode over.

"What did you say..." Jiang Qingwu asked, and was pulled by Yan Xiuchen.

But Jiang Qingwu didn't intend to give up, and shouted at the man, "He knows me? Who is he?"

Naturally, since Yan Xiuchen was here, he wouldn't say anything, or rather, he never intended to say anything.

"I... told you to get out!" Yan Xiuchen shouted again, and the man immediately stood up and fled in a hurry.

When Jiang Qingwu saw the man disappear, he turned around and pushed Yan Xiuchen away.

"Before, you told me to stay out of it, not to interfere, not to think, not to guess..."

"I thought the whole thing had nothing to do with me, but now, who is that person, and why does he know me..."

Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly, looked around, walked closer to Jiang Qingwu, and gently held her shoulders.

"He said that on purpose. He just wanted to threaten me with you."

"If what he said was true and he wanted to take you to meet that person, he wouldn't have chosen the time when I was here."

Jiang Qingwu listened to Yan Xiuchen's explanation, but did not believe it.

"Okay, since it has nothing to do with me, it's no big deal for me to go meet that person, I'll go with you."

Jiang Qingwu shook off Yan Xiuchen and went to get the horse.

Seeing this, Jiu Ye quickly stepped forward and was about to say something when Yan Xiuchen suddenly chopped him down with a palm.

Jiu Ye was startled and looked at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment, "Godfather, you... again..."

"Stop talking nonsense, take her back, and tell Tan Xi to watch her and not to leave Beiyuan."

After Yan Xiuchen left a horse for Jiuye, he jumped on the horse and galloped away.

In less than half an hour, they arrived at the river in the Qiduling Valley.

Sure enough, the old man was fishing here, and standing next to him was Bai Ge, who had returned before Yan Xiuchen.

Noticing Yan Xiuchen coming, the old man put down the fishing rod in his hand.

"Are you so angry because of Gu Yanbai or Jiang Qingwu?"

Yan Xiuchen calmed down and walked towards the old man, "It's all for."

"I'm angry too, but it's because of Gu Yanbai." The old man said, sighing heavily.

"Now that you have become more capable, you start to play tricks on me and scheme against me?"

Yan Xiuchen's eyes darkened and he realized something instantly.

"Don't understand what you are saying?"

"Really? Bai Ge went to that cargo ship personally. In the rear cabin, there were only your two men, not Gu Yanbai."

"Are you trying to hide the truth from me?"

Yan Xiuchen was speechless. In the past few years, he had been in the capital, and except for the Shen family and Yan Lin, he had almost everything under his control.

He didn't expect that this matter would be discovered so easily.

"So, is this why you asked Bai Ge to go down the mountain to meet Jiang Qingwu?"

The old man chuckled and turned to look at Bai Ge, saying faintly, "I think he didn't say anything."

"That's what I mean. This is just a warning. If you try to be clever with me again, I will drag everyone down with me."

"Also, I'm letting Shen Wanrong go as a punishment for you."

"besides……"

As he spoke, the old man stood up and walked towards Yan Xiuchen.

"You stay here today and live with me for a few days. Once Baige gets rid of Gu Yanbai, I will let you go back."

Yan Xiuchen was shocked and looked at the old man in disbelief.

"You let Shen Wanrong go? You still want to keep me here? Haha, I said that as long as I'm here, Gu Yanbai won't die."

Having said that, Yan Xiuchen turned around and prepared to leave.

But at the old man's glance, Bai Ge rushed forward and started fighting with Yan Xiuchen.

Bai Ge's martial arts skills are very good and he can be considered a top master.

Yan Xiuchen knew Bai Ge’s ability, so he used all his strength.

Bai Ge held out for a few moves, but was defeated and knocked into the water by a palm.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen turned around to leave, but bumped into the old man standing behind him.

"Well, you have not only not neglected your martial arts in the past few years, but you have also learned some insidious moves. I don't know if my old bones can beat you."

Yan Xiuchen looked at the other party helplessly, then nodded slightly and clasped his fists, "You taught me all my martial arts, Xiuchen doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare, just stay here and accompany me for a few days."

"Impossible!" Yan Xiuchen blurted out with certainty, and the next moment, the old man suddenly took action.

Yan Xiuchen reacted quickly, but after dealing with a few moves, he was unable to hold on.

One is that he didn't dare to use his full strength, and the other is that the opponent's moves were too powerful.

Yan Xiuchen retreated repeatedly without dodging at all, and was hit head-on by the old man's palm.

Yan Xiuchen flew far away, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out blood with a "pu" sound.

The old man was also startled, his face immediately turned panicky, and he flashed to the front.

"You'd rather take a slap from me than go back, right?"

"Yes, unless I die in your hands, I will never let you kill Gu Yanbai."

The old man also became angry and leaned over and grabbed Yan Xiuchen by the collar.

"Are you crazy?"

"Fool, in just a few years, you have ruined yourself for him."

"He's died several times, haven't you learned your lesson? What on earth is there in him that's worthy of your protection?"

Yan Xiuchen sneered and lowered his eyes to think about something, "Do you still remember Queen Mengjia?"

"Back then, the crazy Queen Mengjia kidnapped Gu Yanbai and me, took a bowl of poison, and forced Gu Yanbai and I to kill each other."

"The loser drinks the bowl of poison, and the winner can leave."

"He drank the bowl of poison without thinking, and he stopped Queen Mengjia's men and saved me..."

"Since then, he has suffered from chronic illness, heart and lung damage, and he almost died several times."

The old man listened to Yan Xiuchen's words and slowly let go of him. Bai Ge, who was not far away, also hurried over and helped Yan Xiuchen up from the ground.

Yan Xiuchen's emotions gradually got out of control. He covered his chest, shook off Bai Ge's hand, and walked towards the old man.

"The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't make the same choice as him when we were at the Fuye border."

"I hate that I don't have the ability to fight back. I hate that I can't protect him even if I lose my life."

These were words he had kept hidden for a long time, and if the walls in his heart had not collapsed at this moment, he would not have been able to say them out loud.

Yan Xiuchen approached the old man with bloodshot eyes, slightly trembling hands, and a gradually pale face.

"Do you know the poison of the Heart-Eating Gu?"

Yan Xiuchen said with a wry smile, "The poison was fed with his own blood."

"The Fuye people used him as a container to feed poisonous Gu, hundreds of Gu worms a month."

"His body was covered with wounds and he suffered from the pain of the poison every day for two years."

"And the antidote also requires him. The poison he fed me can only be cured by him..."

"The suffering he endured in Fuye is enough to offset the charges against him."

"All the damned people are dead, why can't we let him go?"

The old man's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment, and he finally understood why Yan Xiuchen had always protected him.

But there was a look of helplessness on his face, and he hid his emotions calmly.

"It's not that I can't let him go, it's...he must die."

As the old man spoke, he winked at Bai Ge.

Just as Bai Ge was about to walk towards Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen waved the golden bronze fan, and the blade of the fan bone appeared and fell on his neck.

"Either I leave or I die, your choice."
