As soon as Yao Xue said that, everyone in the hall looked at him in shock.

Liang Mo didn't expect Yao Xue to act so recklessly, and he choked up for a while.

There was a deathly silence in the hall.

Many people lowered their heads one after another, but secretly observed Qiuchen's face on the steps.

——Dare to speak such wild words to the Xuanwu national teacher? I am afraid that he will die without a place to bury him.

But their national teacher was just holding a wine glass, drinking with his head down, so that people couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.Some people in the hall with good eyesight can still see,? The hands of their national teachers? It seems to be shaking a little.

Could it be that he was trembling with anger.

After a long time, Qiu Chen finally spoke unhurriedly. Although his tone was severe, his voice was a little tense: "Don't talk nonsense." Turning his head to look at Liang Mo, he said slowly, "Your Majesty, it's the minister who neglected to discipline the people in the house, but the minister will punish you by His Majesty. Don't want to be as knowledgeable as him, Your Majesty."

The officials sitting under the steps were once again in disbelief.

That ruthless, murderous Gu King who is a disaster for the world? Heard that a lowly servant had that kind of intention towards him? He didn't get angry right away? On the contrary, he protected the other party with every word?

Qiu Chen was extremely conniving towards Yao Xue both in and out of his words. Although his words were polite, in the final analysis, he had no intention of accepting punishment with guilt.

Liang Mo was annoyed, "Qiu Chen has always been like this, always sticking to his own judgment in everything, and never...never take him, King Liang, seriously."Thinking of this,? He was once again shrouded in a strong sense of inferiority, and clenched his fists involuntarily.

Since the appearance of this general from the Yong Kingdom, Qiu Chen has intensified his actions. He acted arrogantly and decisively, and he also tried his best to protect this prisoner of war, not allowing anyone to touch him.There have been many questioning voices in the court, some veterans often express their dissatisfaction with the King of Liang, openly or secretly, and the Gu family even advises the King of Liang to get rid of Qiuchen every now and then.

Liang Mo already had this intention in his heart, but because Liang country is currently in the period of territorial expansion, this Xuanwu national teacher can still be used in many places, so he still has to stabilize the other party first.

Thinking of this, Liang Mo still swallowed the words of punishment, and said to Qiu Chen: "He played for you, since he doesn't want a reward, then I will give you this reward."

"I will give you the hot spring of Qingfeng Pond to bathe in. I will reward those who perform well in the hunting."

Qingfeng Pool is the largest hot spring near the snow mountain, and only royal relatives are eligible to bathe there.There is a palace at the bathing pool, which is extremely luxurious.Liang Mo alone rewarded Qiu Chen to take a bath here, which was enough face, but it was not a substantive reward. At the same time, it also made other nobles envious, enough to make Qiu Chen a target of public criticism.

The turmoil of the banquet subsided temporarily, and the music of singing and dancing sounded again.

Qiu Chen stayed in the seat for a while, then found an excuse and left quietly.

Seeing this, Yao Xue also sneaked out after a while.As soon as he came to the small garden in the palace, he found Qiu Chen waiting for him standing in the gazebo by the pool.

He walked forward with some joy, but Qiu Chen took a step back, stared at him and said, "Stay away from me."

Yao Xue stopped obediently.

Qiu Chen looked at him angrily and said, "What you said just now in the hall, did you think it took too long?" The more he said, the more angry he was, his knuckles were tightly pinching his sleeves, so hard that they turned white: "If it's not I opened my mouth, do you think King Liang will let you go easily? Why are you still the same as when you were a child, saying whatever comes to your mind?"

Yao Xue was slightly taken aback by what he said, and after a while, she said hesitantly, "Are you, are you protecting me?" Hearing Qiu Chen mentioning his childhood, he felt a hint of sweetness in his heart, and then He took another step forward and said, "What? You don't want me to die?"

Qiu Chen didn't answer him, just stared at Yao Xue ferociously, and didn't speak for a while.

Yao Xue folded her arms and leaned against the pillar of the gazebo, said in a slow voice, "I will definitely not be an official, and I don't want any beauties of gold and silver. Could it be that you want me to accept those rewards from King Liang?"

Qiu Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then turned his head away: "Should I follow you or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Yao Xue smiled slightly, straightened up, and gently squeezed Qiu Chen's hand: "Don't worry, I'm not from Liangguo anyway, if he really wants to do something, I'll take you and run away." .”

Qiu Chen hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked up and looked around, and said cautiously: "Stop talking."

Yao Xue raised her hand to hold Qiu Chen's wrist: "I'm serious, you...would you like to go back to Yong Kingdom with me?"

Qiu Chen froze for a moment, looked at Yao Xue with extremely complicated eyes, and finally shook off the opponent's hand suddenly, and hurriedly said "If you want to go crazy, don't pull me", turned and left the pavilion.

Yao Xue stared at the person's back for a long time, until she couldn't see clearly, she finally looked away.He sighed silently, turned and walked into the hall.

He had just walked a few steps when he bumped into Gu Min head-on.

Yao Xue didn't even look at him, she just walked over.

Gu Ming moved his footsteps and stood in front of him: "Wait."

Yao Xue looked up at the other party impatiently: "What's the matter?"

Gu Ming smiled kindly on his face, and said, "The relationship between you and the national teacher is really good."

Yao Xue was shocked when she heard this.He immediately understood that Gu Min should have heard their conversation just now.It's just that Gu Ming completely concealed his breath, and he didn't even notice it.

But Yao Xue said calmly on the surface: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here." He said, turned away in disgust, and walked forward.

Gu Ming smiled slightly, looked at Yao Xue's back and said, "Don't you know that your good national teacher is hiding something from you?"

Yao Xue stopped abruptly when she heard that.

He turned around and looked at Gu Min suspiciously.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Gu Ming said while the iron was hot: "It seems that you really don't know. Your national teacher, he has kept you a big secret." When he said this, he said in a mysterious way: "You I'm not curious, what did he hide from you?"

Yao Xue clenched her fists unconsciously, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the secret?"

Seeing this, Gu Ming showed a smug smile: "The secret is just outside the city, you can come with me, there is no proof for what you say, you need to see it yourself."

Yao Xue looked at Gu Ming and hesitated for a moment, but finally followed his pace.

As he walked, he said coldly: "If you dare to try to cheat, I will not spare you."

Gu Ming didn't respond to him, but just sneered.

The two left the city gate one after the other, and arrived near the military camp on the outskirts of Qingchi City.This time King Liang came to Qingchi to hunt, and brought many defenders, all of whom were stationed outside the city.

As Yao Xue walked, she kept vigilant against Gu Ming at all times. He was worried that the other party was actually deliberately luring him out and trying to harm him.

It was night, and dozens of military tents were brightly lit. There was no need to march and fight this time, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Many corporals were gathering together to drink and punch, and it was very lively.

Gu Huan led Yao Xue across the noisy field to a more remote military tent.

This place is quieter, the soldiers in charge of the night watch are patrolling the barracks in an orderly manner, while the others are silently resting in their respective tents.

Yao Xue intuitively sensed that there was something strange about these soldiers, and he walked a little closer, and saw a very hideous scar on the face of a night watchman, stretching from the corner of his eyes across the bridge of his nose, which made him feel familiar for no reason.

He seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

Feeling more and more uneasy in Yao Xue's heart, he walked around the barracks again, and finally came to the bonfire outside the barracks.

He glanced around aimlessly at first, and when he saw the people sitting by the campfire clearly, his eyes widened suddenly.

That soldier was none other than Bai Yu.
