When Yao Xue heard this, she looked at Qiuchen in surprise.

Qiu Chen glanced at him, got up and came to the mirror.He stared fixedly at his own image in the mirror, and said coldly, "Don't get me wrong. Sometimes, living is like dying and suffering."

For a moment Yao Xue didn't even know how to react.After getting along these days, he always felt that the other party was not as cruel as he appeared on the surface.

While Yao Xue was thinking, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her shoulder.Only then did he remember that Chen Wuyang had cut his shoulder and neck earlier.He unconsciously raised his hand to touch the shoulder, only to find that the injury had already been treated, the bandage was wrapped very neatly, and there was a beautiful knot at the end, no doubt it was done by Qiu Chen.

... Yao Xue's mood became more and more complicated.

Qiuchen over there didn't notice Yao Xue's actions, he was checking the tooth marks left on his neck.Although the tooth mark is not deep, it is very obvious.Qiu Chen looked at Yao Xue from the bronze mirror with some resentment, and Yao Xue turned her head unnaturally under the pressure of his gaze.

Yao Xue thought in her heart, just now... she lost her mind and went crazy again.

Is it because of being infected by a Gu, why do I always make such out-of-control actions?He sat on the edge of the couch, a little puzzled.Moreover, the state of the two of them right now, one sitting on the edge of the couch and the other sitting in front of the mirror, seemed like something happened between them.Thinking of this, Yao Xue had many thoughts for no reason, and her heart became restless.

He shook his head and stood up. Just as he was about to walk towards the door, he heard the door being slapped loudly.

Qiu Chen walked over impatiently, and said displeasedly through the door: "What's the matter?"

The person outside the door yelled: "National teacher! It's not good! Yongguo ambushed the army from somewhere, and they have already set up camp in the outskirts of Wuling!"

Qiu Chen suddenly pushed the door open, and said in surprise, "How could this be?"

The attendant said again: "Yong Guo said that Liang Guo killed Chen Wuyang, the prefect of Wuling, and then tore up the covenant. These troops seem to have been arranged long ago."

When Qiu Chen heard the words, he finally understood in his heart.It turned out that from the beginning to the end, all of this was a bureau set up by Emperor Yong to crusade against Liang.Yong State never thought of giving up the Five Cities to Liang State, and this handover was just to lure him and Gu Xing into Yong State, and find an opportunity to remove them together.

Qiu Chen sneered in his heart, after all, he still underestimated the degree of cunning of Emperor Ning Yuan.After tidying up briefly, he hurried to the main hall.

Yao Xue also followed behind because of the relationship of "two inseparable". Qiu Chen seemed very anxious and didn't pay much attention to him.

Qiu Chen walked into the main hall, saw Gu Xing, first gave him a hard look, and then asked: "How is the situation now?"

However, Gu Xing played with the sand table unhurriedly, without raising his head, and said: "The national teacher should not get involved in the war."

Qiu Chen's eyes were bloodshot because of anger: "Don't ask me? If you didn't kill Chen Wuyang impulsively, why would Yong Guo have a reason to call?"

Gu Xing said disapprovingly: "No matter what actions Yong Guo makes, it's a fight. With the strength we brought this time, will we not be able to defeat it?"

Qiu Chen said angrily: "This time they are famous in the army and have more troops than us, how can they win?"

Gu Xing finally raised his head, looked at Qiu Chen and said arrogantly: "I am the one who leads the army to fight, and the national teacher only needs to bring up the Gu worms needed for the war."

When Qiu Chen heard this, he hesitated for a moment.

His body has not recovered recently, and he has not raised Gu worms that can support a war.Liang Kingdom only brought [-] troops this time, so it was more than enough to defend the city, but none of them were elite soldiers, and they couldn't deal with the tens of thousands of troops from Yong Kingdom.

Gu Xing still noticed something strange about Qiu Chen.He stared at the other party, his eyes full of probing: "Master, you can't...can't make Gu?"

Qiu Chen froze, and asked back, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Xing got up and walked towards Qiu Chen, and whispered in his ear: "No matter what method you use, you are limited to three days to make the Gu, and when I win the battle, it doesn't matter who you want at that time." He After a pause, the tone of voice was full of joy: "But if the battle is missed due to insufficient Gu, and His Majesty blames it, you and I can't bear it."

"As for the one you keep in the house, it is just a bargaining chip, and it will be convenient for you to buy a little more time when you send it back to Yong Kingdom."

Qiu Chen didn't answer for a while, as if he was thinking about it.At the same time, the little scorpion slowly crawled out of his cuff and onto his hand.

He frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xing: "What if I say no?" Hearing that Gu Xing wanted to exchange Yao Xue, Qiu Chen's eyebrows and eyes were full of evil spirits: "No one wants to touch him."

Gu Xing stared coldly: "That's up to you." He raised his hand abruptly to signal, and in an instant, several masked men in black came out from every corner of the hall without a sound.

Seeing this, Qiu Chen just stretched out his hand unhurriedly, took out something from his cuff, and quickly threw it at the group of men in black.

What he threw was a Gu worm that could kill a person instantly, once touched, he would surely die.

But those men in black didn't dodge, they just let the Gu worms melt into their bodies without even reacting at all.

Seeing that Gu worms didn't work on those people, Qiu Chen was secretly surprised.At the same time, several men in black had already arrived in front of him.

Gu Xing said with a smile: "They are all dead soldiers who have received special training, and they will not be easily infected." He slowly walked forward, his tone full of joy: "National Teacher, you lost."

……

Yao Xue was not allowed to enter the main hall, but stood outside the hall and waited.He couldn't hear what was said in the hall very clearly, he only knew that the two of them seemed to have a dispute, but then they fell silent again.

His mood at the moment is very complicated.Emperor Ningyuan made every move right, and now Yongguo has a great possibility to regain the lost city, but all of this is based on Chen Wuyang's death.

Chen Wuyang is undoubtedly a member of Emperor Ningyuan, and he will go through fire and water for him, and he will die. Therefore, Chen Wuyang should be ordered by Emperor Ningyuan to take his life.

Although Yao Xue thought so in her heart, she was not quite sure.The army of his home country, which he thought about day and night, was just outside the city. He hesitated again and again, but still made up his mind to return to the army no matter what, and then find out everything.

The antidote he got from Qiu Chen last time, he has been secretly hiding one, and now is the opportunity to use it.He took out a medicine and swallowed it, and was about to leave quietly, but unexpectedly the door opened suddenly, Gu Xing came out from inside, pointed to Yao Xue and said to the attendants beside him, "Give him a rest, tonight Send it to the military camp of Yong State sometime."

Gu Xing was the only one who came out of the room, and Qiu Chen was not seen.Yao Xue felt a little strange about Liang Guo's sudden change of attitude, and asked Gu Xing, "Is this what your national teacher meant?"

Gu Xing just sneered at him, turned and left.

Yao Xue felt a little strange in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and followed the servants away.

He changed into the fine clothes worn by the dignitaries of the Yong Kingdom again, and was sent by a group of people to the camp of the Yong Kingdom stationed in the outskirts of Wuling.

Yao Xue saw the military flag with "Yong" flying from a long distance, and was filled with emotion in his heart.But he was a little uneasy.On the one hand, he has no idea about the current attitude towards the people of Yongguo, nor can he be sure whether Emperor Ningyuan really wants to get rid of him; Something is wrong.

The person who escorted him explained his purpose to the guards in the barracks, and after a while, several people were invited into the main camp.

Yao Xue raised her eyes and looked forward, it was none other than his other lieutenant general, Ji Xi, who was in the main battalion.

Ji Xi was standing in the tent at the moment, just watching Yao Xue and Liangguo's guards walk into the tent coldly, his eyes dim.

Yao Xue became more and more anxious. At the same time, he also noticed that the opponent's uniform had changed, from the deputy general to the chief general.

Ji Xi is two years younger than him, and is the same age as Bai Yu.He was very delicate, with a pair of phoenix eyes that were a little raised, and it seemed difficult to speak.

In fact, Ji Xi is not difficult to get along with, he just has a tough temper, he is kind in every possible way to those he believes in, and extremely bad to those he hates.

Yao Xue entered the capital at the age of 17 and became a general at the age of 20. Since then, Bai Yu and Ji Xi have always been by his side, and it has been four or five years now.Bai Yu has a lively personality, and he often surrounds Yao Xue and makes noises on weekdays. Ji Xi has the opposite temperament, most of the time he is extremely cold, but he treats both Yao Xue and Bai Yu very well.He doesn't like to talk very much, and often just watches silently from the sidelines.

Thinking of this, Yao Xue looked at Ji Xi eagerly.This time, he only brought Bai Yu with him.He hasn't seen Ji Xi for a long time, but anyway, he is still very happy in his heart.

Liangguo's envoy briefly explained to Ji Xi the purpose of their visit. Most likely, he was willing to return Yao Xue as a prisoner of war. At the same time, the matter of Chen Wuyang was just a misunderstanding. He hoped that Yongguo would withdraw its troops and stop attacking Wuling.

After hearing this, Ji Xi just sneered, turned his head to the subordinates beside him and said, "Drag all these cool people down and kill them."

Seeing him being so decisive, Yao Xue felt a little surprised, and at the same time felt more and more uneasy, and said: "Yong Kingdom has never beheaded envoys since ancient times, have you even forgotten this?"

Ji Xi finally turned his head and met Yao Xue's gaze: "What's the matter? Did you feel distressed seeing me kill people from the Liang Kingdom?"

Yao Xue's reaction to Ji Xi was a bit puzzled. The other party seemed to have changed his temperament drastically, and he was making trouble for no reason. He took two steps forward angrily, and said angrily, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Ji Xi didn't seem to want to talk to him, so he raised his eyes and stared at him: "I just want to ask you one thing. Is Bai Yu still alive?"

When Yao Xue heard this, she suddenly stopped.

"I don't know." After a while, he said in a low voice.

This answer seemed to be expected by Ji Xi, he sneered, and said, "Everyone has rumored that you are collaborating with the enemy and treason, and that you have an affair with that mischievous Gu king. It seems that this is indeed true."

Yao Xue looked at Ji Xi and was beyond shocked.After a while, he said with a trembling voice, "I didn't."

"It's fine for others to think of me that way, why even you..."

Ji Xi interrupted him: ""You took 2 troops to the Northland, but within a few days, those [-] people seemed to have evaporated, and you were the only one who survived.And after that, you were with that Gu king every day, are half of these sentences false? "

Yao Xue stared into Ji Xi's eyes, and said anxiously: "The people of Liangguo used hallucinogenic Gu, defeated the army, and captured me to their capital Shuo'an. These days, I have been thinking about it all the time. How to escape back, how to avenge them."

He said sincerely: "I know you care about Bai Yu. You and him are both my lieutenants and the people I trust the most. How could I abandon him, and how could I betray the country?"

Yao Xue's words seemed to have stimulated Ji Xi, he suddenly became very excited, and shouted with red eyes: "Don't be hypocritical here! You are no longer that high-ranking Hussar General! I am no longer your lieutenant general ! And Bai Yu," his eyes were full of pain: "Bai Yu will never come back again!"

Yao Xue looked at Ji Xi and froze in place for a while.

After Ji Xi finished speaking, he seemed to realize his gaffe.He turned his head away from looking at Yao Xue, calmed down a bit, and said again: "Do you know that His Majesty has decreed that anyone who captures you, whether dead or alive, can be sealed as Marquis of ten thousand households."
