After everyone left, Cheng Jiuyuan slowly approached Jiang Xiubai and reached out to untie his mute point.

"It's you again." Jiang Xiubai was very confident in his kung fu, but he was defeated by Cheng Jiuyuan twice in a row, which made him very frustrated.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him with disdain: "You say you are a seven-foot-tall man, why do you do this kind of kidnapping every time I see you?"

Jiang Xiubai rolled his eyes: "What can I do? The master has given orders, and I can only obey them."

He looked at Cheng Jiuyuan again, with curiosity and vigilance in his eyes.

"Miss Cheng, you let me go last time because you didn't want my life. What do you want from me?"

Cheng Jiuyuan squatted down and smiled.

She was covered with a black scarf, and Jiang Xiubai could only see her pair of cunning eyes, which were exceptionally bright.

"I want you to work for me."

Jiang Xiubai was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Then you'd better take my life."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and looked down at him: "You are so loyal."

"The Royal Secret Guards are naturally loyal."

"I mean you are really loyal to the Wei family."

Jiang Xiubai's face changed, "Nonsense, as a royal secret guard, I am naturally loyal to the royal family."

"Don't quibble. If I want to use you, I will naturally understand your past."

"Now that you know my past, you know even better that I can't be used by you."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Jiang Xiubai with pity in her eyes.

"Do you really think it was Wei Tiankuang who saved you from the dire situation?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiubai's eyes were full of vigilance.

"The person you thought was your savior might actually be the culprit who pushed you into the abyss?"

Jiang Xiubai's face changed drastically, and he suddenly found it funny.

"Don't waste your breath. I will never betray him."

Cheng Jiuyuan stretched out her hand and Biluo flew back into her sleeve.

"I hope that after you learn the truth, you won't want to slap yourself in the face today."

Cheng Jiuyuan finished speaking and was about to leave, but then he spoke again: "It was Master Wuwang who saved Zhu Jin, do you understand?"

After saying this, she tiptoed and disappeared on the spot.

"Don't even think about bewitching me!" Jiang Xiubai shouted in the direction where Cheng Jiuyuan disappeared.

No one knew that at this moment he was extremely uneasy inside, and was repeatedly in doubt and denial.

That night many years ago seemed like it happened just yesterday, he remembered everything clearly.

The endless sea of ​​fire, the grinning faces of the Northern Qi soldiers, and the cries of the villagers.

When he thought he was going to die at the hands of the Northern Qi cavalry, someone shouted, "General Wei is coming!" Then he saw the man walking out of the firelight and killing the Northern Qi soldiers one by one with his sword.

He is the god in the hearts of the people in the border town.

How could he be shaken by a few words from a little girl!

Jiang Xiubai raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

but……

After going through many hardships, he was finally able to work for the Wei family.

He could have been General Wei's personal guard, but because General Wei's orders were too ruthless a few times, he questioned a few times and ended up becoming the Fourth Princess's secret guard.

Later, he convinced himself.

As a general, of course you cannot be too soft-hearted.

It is right to rather kill someone by mistake than let anyone go.

But Cheng Jiuyuan’s eyes and words just now lingered in his mind.

He thought that he had to find a way to get back to General Wei.

He didn't want to be a royal secret guard. He wanted to make great achievements and be like General Wei, go to the battlefield to kill all the Northern Qi people and become a god in the hearts of the people.

He wanted to prove that Cheng Jiuyuan had lied to him!

This woman is so cunning!

……

Madam Zhu returned to the Huguo Temple. Her mind was blank and she went straight to the Fourth Princess's courtyard.

Two guards stopped her outside the door, and she fell to her knees.

"Fourth Princess, please, give my daughter back to me."

"If my daughter has offended the princess in any way, I will kowtow and apologize to her on her behalf, and only ask for mercy."

The official's wife nearby was shocked. She thought Madam Zhu came to ask the Fourth Princess for help in finding her daughter, but she actually said that it was the Fourth Prince who took the initiative.

She deeply regretted getting involved in this matter.

More and more people gathered around to watch the fun, including ministers, officials' families, and ordinary people.

Everyone was guessing what Mrs. Zhu meant by this.

Madam Zhu didn't care about so many things and just wanted the Fourth Princess to release her daughter.

"Fourth Princess, I kowtow to you..."

In the room, Chu Qing sipped tea with a smirk on his lips, in a very good mood.

The maid beside her whispered, "Princess, there are so many people outside now. Madam Zhu insisted that it was you..."

"So what? She has no evidence."

"But she is the Majesty's wife after all. She is kneeling outside like this..."

"Just say I'm taking a nap later."

……

Outside the house, Mrs. Zhu kept crying and begging, pushing the soldiers, wanting to go in to find Chu Qing.

"Madam Taifu, do you have any evidence to prove that this matter is related to the Fourth Princess?"

"That's right. This is a Buddhist holy land. It would be a great sin to put such a hat on you."

Someone nearby asked, and some adults who were on good terms with the Zhu family sent people to help find Zhu Jin.

Even Cheng Zongyang hurried over.

When Mrs. Zhu saw Cheng Zongyang, she immediately cried for help.

"Madam, please get up quickly. I will send someone to catch the thief right away."

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Chu Qing came out with a frown.

"What happened? I can't even sleep well."

Madam Zhu immediately rushed forward, but was blocked by the maid beside Chu Qing.

"Princess! Princess! Please let my daughter go. If you have anything to say to me, come to me, even if it means taking my life!"

Chu Qing looked puzzled: "What do you mean? Your daughter is missing, and you're asking me for her?"

She looked at the maid: "What happened?"

The maid replied immediately: "Princess, Madam Zhu brought Miss Zhu to burn incense, and on the way back, they encountered robbers. The robbers saw that Miss Zhu was beautiful, so they... kidnapped Miss Zhu."

Chu Qing covered her lips in surprise and said in astonishment: "Oh my God!"

She looked at Madam Zhu with sympathy: "Why are you looking for me instead of reporting to the authorities? It's too late. Even if your daughter comes back, she may not be healthy..."

"Royal sister!" Chu Wan hurried over and stopped Chu Qing from speaking dirty words.

Everyone knew what the unfinished words were, and they just looked at Mrs. Zhu with sympathy.

Mrs. Zhu was about to fall, and Chu Wan immediately walked to her side and supported her.

"Mrs. Zhu, don't worry. Miss Zhu will be blessed by heaven and will return safely."

Chu Qing smiled sweetly and said, "Return safely? I heard that the robbers are all extremely vicious people. I wish you a beautiful and beautiful girl..."

Mrs. Zhu became furious when she saw Chu Qing gloating over his misfortune.

She was 100% sure that it was Chu Qing who did it.

She suddenly became furious, broke free from Chu Wan, and ran straight towards Chu Qing.

Cheng Zongyang quickly stopped her and said, "Madam Taifu, calm down."

"It's her! It's her!"

Mrs. Zhu struggled to move forward.

Chu Qing secretly blamed Cheng Zongyang for being nosy. It would have been better if Madam Zhu had rushed forward. The knife in her guard's hand accidentally took her life, so it was her who offended first.

So Chu Qing continued to provoke Mrs. Zhu: "Hey, the Zhu family has high standards. Now they choose a gangster as their son-in-law..."

"Ah! Ah!"

Madam Zhu struggled desperately, and Chu Qing smiled smugly.

People nearby tried to persuade and stop them, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

At this moment, a clear voice came from behind everyone: "Mom."
