During the whole celebration banquet, Yao Xue was out of her mind.

There is only one thought left in his mind: Qiu Chen is really crazy.

Qiu Chen forced him to sit beside her, and teased him again and again, making all the officials look sideways.

But that King of Liang indulged Qiu Chen's wanton indulgence and let Qiu Chen mess around, no one dared to say a word more.

Through the dialogue during the meeting, Yao Xue finally knew why he lost.

The Liang army put hallucinogenic Gu insects on the arrow feathers shot at the Yong army. When the arrow feathers fell to the ground, the Gu insects crawled on the soldiers of the Yong State, causing the army to collapse.

Yao Xue's heart was ashamed when he heard that, his [-] soldiers and horses had really been wiped out.He remembered that he had knocked down a few arrows with his sword when he was out of the battle, and he thought it must be full of Gu insects, that's why he fell down so quickly.

Then his lieutenant, Bai Yu, and his subordinate, Qin Luo, also...

He thought so, only to hear King Liang raised his wine glass and concluded in his slightly green voice: This time our country has defeated the Yong army and captured Baicheng and the five surrounding cities. It is really gratifying!Everyone, drink this cup to the full, and wish the Yong Kingdom will be defeated in the future! "

All the officials stood up, congratulated one after another, and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.Qiu Chen put down the wine glass, looked at King Liang with a smile and said, "I will act like a dog and a horse for Your Majesty, and wipe out the Yong Kingdom in one fell swoop in the future." As he spoke, he looked at Yao Xue provocatively.

Looking at this happy scene, Yao Xue gritted her teeth fiercely.

In any case, he could not stay in the enemy country.He wants to escape first, return to Yong Kingdom, and then lead the army to attack Liang to avenge his dead brothers.

He stared at Qiu Chen, and secretly made up his mind to take revenge.

After finally surviving the celebration banquet, the pain in Yao Xue's abdomen eased slightly.Qiuchen bid farewell to King Liang, and took Yao Xue back to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Shuo'an is the capital of the Liang Kingdom, located in the extreme north. Although it was spring, it suddenly snowed heavily again.

Qiuchen stood on the porch waiting for the servants to set up the car, while Yao Xue stood by his side.

Two attendants pressed him firmly from behind Yao Xue, Yao Xue's strength was not as good as before after Yao Xue got a Gu, he struggled a few times without moving, and just turned his head to stare at Qiu Chen fiercely.

Qiu Chen looked at his ferocious look, remained silent for a while, and finally said, "Let him go."

Yao Xue looked at Qiu Chen with some puzzlement.Qiu Chen reached into his cuff self-consciously, and took out a very long ribbon from it.

It was supposed to be a hair tie, but the color had faded to the point where it was almost invisible.Qiu Chen smoothed the hair band, raised his eyes to look at Yao Xue, and then slowly tied one end of the ribbon around his wrist with his slender fingers.He reached out and grabbed Yao Xue's wrist, and slowly tied the other end of the hairband on it.

This was the first time that Qiuchen touched Yao Xue actively since the two reunited.

His fingers were so cold that Yao Xue shrank almost subconsciously.Qiu Chen lowered his head and tied it carefully, a few strands of hair hung down and brushed Yao Xue's skin, which made people feel a little itchy.

"Okay, then you won't be able to run away." Qiu Chen tugged the ribbon on his wrist, and said calmly.

Yao Xue pursed her lips and said nothing.He felt more and more that Qiu Chen was moody, and what he did was not in line with common sense, he was really crazy.

But Qiu Chen lowered his head and looked very patient, which made Yao Xue unable to restrain himself from thinking about a long time ago.He went out to play and scratched his elbow, Qiuchen sterilized him, fetched gauze, wrapped it gently around his wound, then slowly tied the knot with his slender fingers, raised his eyes to him He smiled and said, "Okay. It won't hurt anymore."

Just now when Qiuchen was talking to him, there was a familiarity in his tone that he hadn't even noticed.

But that Qiu Chen who cared about him and healed his wounds was gone forever.Qiuchen became the national teacher of the enemy country, and killed his cronies and subordinates.

Thinking of this, Yao Xue clenched her fists secretly.Meanwhile, the car arrives.

Qiuchen dragged Yao Xue into the car with a hair tie.The space in the car is small enough for two people to sit. Yao Xue tried to keep a distance from each other, but her feet inevitably bumped into Qiu Chen's.

However, Qiu Chen changed his previous dislike towards Yao Xue and didn't say anything.

Yao Xue didn't want to think about it, he lifted the curtain on the car window slightly, and silently looked at the street scene of Shuo'an City.

The streets of Shuo'an City are not as wide as those of Yanyang, and the buildings on both sides of the road are almost the same as those of Yong Kingdom.It happened to be snowing heavily and the ground was slippery, so the carriage moved very slowly.

Yao Xue had never seen such a heavy snow before.His hometown is in the south of Yong Kingdom, where it is warm all year round. Later, he moved to Yanyang, and the winter in Yanyang City is only one or two light snowfalls.

He suddenly remembered that many, many years ago, he asked his mother why he took the word "Snow" in his name.

The mother touched his head and said with a smile: "When I was pregnant with you, I dreamed of heavy snowfall. I guess it was God's will, so I named you like this."

Thinking of this, Yao Xue felt mixed emotions.He never thought that one day, he would see heavy snow on such an occasion.

His heart moved slightly, without turning his head, he just called softly: "Qiu Chen." He tried to slow down his tone, and said sincerely: "Why are you like this now?

This was the first time Yao Xue called each other's name since the two met.

Qiu Chen's lazy voice came from beside him: "Who is Qiu Chen?"

Yao Xue turned her head a little surprised.

Qiu Chen didn't look at him, but just looked at the snowy scenery outside the window, and said calmly: "There is no Qiu Chen in this world, only Xuanwu Guoshi."

Yao Xue was startled when she heard the words, and seeing that Qiu Chen just lowered her eyelashes and said nothing, she didn't intend to continue, so she said anxiously: "But you are Yong..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen again.

Qiu Chen put on that gloomy look again, stared at him and said, "Shut up. If you talk any more, be careful, I will make you unable to speak again."

Yao Xue gritted her teeth and endured the pain, her eyes were full of disbelief and unwillingness.

During the stalemate, the car stopped.

The curtain in front of the car was lifted, and Qiu Chen leaned over and got out of the car.A young man took a cloak and put it on Qiu Chen, and opened an umbrella for him, and the two walked slowly towards the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.Yao Xue's wrists were tied, and she followed behind somewhat staggeringly.

The young man glanced at Yao Xue with some disgust, looked at Qiu Chen and said cautiously: "Master, why...why did he follow here?"

Qiu Chen said: "I begged him from His Majesty."

Yao Xue observed the young man secretly, and felt that although Qiu Chen was cold to him on the face, in reality he had a sense of intimacy that ordinary people could not detect.

After walking a few more steps, several people came to the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.Yao Xue raised her eyes and saw that it was really a magnificent mansion, much better than his general's mansion in Yanyang City.

Qiu Chen and Yao Xue's hands were still tied together with a belt, and all the servants who passed by in the mansion looked sideways.Yao Xue thought for a long time and still couldn't figure it out: From the banquet just now, Qiu Chen has devoted himself to creating some kind of misunderstanding between the two of them. What good does this do for him?

The two of them seemed to be parading through the street, passing through most of the courtyard, Qiu Chen finally stopped, and said to the young man, "Sile, let him go."

Si Le stepped forward to untie the hair tie from Yao Xue's hand, and Qiu Chen also untied his own, folded the hair tie, and put it back into the cuff.

Yao Xue looked at him silently.

This person treats this hair tie like a treasure.He wouldn't look at anyone on the street, so he would take out the belt from his cuff and tie him back to his house, would he?

Yao Xue thought in her heart, she is crazy, she is really crazy.

Qiu Chen didn't look at him much, and walked into the house.The boy named Sile grabbed his arm and pushed him forward.

Seeing that he was born thin and weak, Yao Xue wanted to use her strength to knock him down secretly, but she didn't expect Sile to say first: "If you want to knock me down, I advise you to save your strength."

Yao Xue was secretly taken aback when she was told about the central matter, and said, "Why?"

"The Gu in you, if you exercise your skills, you will feel unbearable pain all over your body. You should also have a deep understanding of this." Sile said.

Yao Xue gritted her teeth and said, "It hurts, if you endure it, you will get used to it!"

Si Le chuckled: "The good thing about this Gu is that if you exercise your kung fu more than a certain number of times, you will bleed to death from your seven orifices."

Yao Xue froze upon hearing that.He had also heard of Gu before, but he always thought it was just a trick and nothing to be afraid of.He never thought that there would be such a vicious Gu in this world, and he never thought that the person who put the Gu on him would be Qiu Chen.If this goes on, don't mention revenge, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself.

He raised his eyes to look at Si Le, his eyes were full of urgency: "What is the solution to this Gu?"

Si Le curled her lips and said, "How would I know. This Gu was made by the master, so naturally only the master can solve it."

Yao Xue wanted to ask again, but Sile had already pushed him into a broken room: "The master is kind, I don't know how much you have done to the master, so that the master treats you like this."

The door closed with a bang, and a young man's voice came from outside the door: "You should just sit here and meditate. Master will call you when he needs it."

Qiu Chen walked into the room, immediately covered his mouth with his hands and coughed violently.He hurriedly picked up the needle from the table, gave himself two needles, and barely stopped coughing.

When he entered the room, he pushed back the attendants, and he was relieved when he saw that no one saw his actions just now.The exhaustion of several days of fighting, coupled with the banquet just now, has seriously exhausted his physical strength.

Ever since Qiu Chen practiced Gu art, his body has not been as good as before.He can't blow the wind, and it is even more difficult to encounter this kind of rainy and snowy weather, which often leads to cough and severe fever.

Raising Gu is not a difficult task for Qiu Chen, he has superb medical skills, and his research on Gu skills is also unrivaled.It's just that raising Gu is an extremely energy-consuming thing, because Gu insects rely on the blood of the person who drives the Gu to survive. Ordinary Gu techniques are fine, but some secret techniques require the painstaking efforts of the person who raised the Gu.

In the last battle with Yong Guo in Baicheng, although ordinary Gu insects were used, it also consumed too much physical strength of Qiu Chen.He has been coughing a lot these days, although he looks radiant in front of people, in fact, in a short period of time, he has no more room to raise Gu worms for war.

Qiu Chen pursed his lips, thinking that this matter must never be known to others.As he thought about it, he slowly took out the hair tie tied between the two wrists just now from his sleeve.He stared at the hair tie in his hand in a daze, and after a while, he folded it flat and put it in the small box beside the bed.

After a short rest, the snow outside gradually became smaller.Qiu Chen stood up and was about to go to the backyard to have a look, but he didn't expect someone to come to inform him that King Liang had sent him into the palace.

So Qiuchen followed the servant and came to the Palace of Magic Music, where King Liang stayed the most on weekdays.

Liang Mo was sitting in front of the desk and reading at the moment. When he saw Qiu Chen coming in, he put down the book in his hand and nodded slightly to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen saluted briefly, and said to Liang Mo, "Your Majesty summoned his ministers, but what are your orders?"

Liang Mo nodded, and said, "I'm not feeling well today. Maybe it's a relapse of an old illness. I'll send you to take a look." He said as he got down from his seat, and moved to the small case next to him with Qiu Chen. .

Liang Mo stretched out his hand and put it on the table, turning his wrist out.Qiu Chen stretched out three fingers, resting on Liang Mo's veins.He felt it carefully, and felt that there was nothing serious. Finally, he withdrew his hand, looked at Liang Mo and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is fine, but the root cause of the disease has fallen and needs to be recuperated."

Liang Mo is very young, only twenty and four this year, the same age as Yao Xue.His childishness was still on his face, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.His physique was very poor, and he had been lingering on the sick bed until he met Qiuchen, and his health gradually improved.

Although Liang Mo usually looks weak, he actually has insight beyond ordinary people.Looking at his hesitant to speak, Qiu Chen knew it.

So Qiu Chen smoothed Liang Mo's sleeves very carefully, knelt down and saluted, "I brought Yao Xue back to the mansion, not for my own selfish desire as said at the banquet, but for testing Gu."

Liang Mo pursed his lips and asked questioningly, "Try Gu?"

Qiu Chen nodded, and patiently explained: "Yao Xue is different from ordinary prisoners. As a military commander, he is physically stronger and more resistant. He is most suitable for cultivating mighty Gu." He paused He paused and said again: "It's just... Gu skills are the key to Da Liang's victory on the battlefield. It's better not to say anything about using others to test Gu skills."

Liang Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, acquiescing.After a while, he looked at Qiu Chen with a keen light in his eyes: "You knew that general before?"

Qiu Chen's expression froze when he heard the words, and he saluted and said, "Yao Xue is a general of the Yong Kingdom, Liang and Yong have not met much, and I have never met him before."

Liang Mo was thoughtful, and finally just waved his hands and said: "That's all. Just ask casually. Back off."

Qiu Chen's hands under his sleeves had already clenched into fists. Seeing that Liang Mo didn't care much, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and exited the Palace of Magical Music.
