The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

When they came out of the palace before, Xiao Jiuqin was sent to this place before the two had time to talk privately.

Bai Yan didn't think much of the marriage decree before it was delivered to the two, but Xiao Jiuqin always felt uneasy.

This guy Bai Yan is too eye-catching, if he doesn't pay attention, he will be easily abducted by others, and there are always many people around him who are thinking about it. It was solved, so that the person who was finally caught would not run away again.

"Are you injured?" Bai Yan was dizzy from being kissed just now, and now he finally found some reason. He pulled Xiao Jiuqin and turned around, looking him up and down.

Except for the messy clothes and a big tear in one sleeve, there seemed to be no blood stains anywhere, so Bai Yan was reluctantly heaved a sigh of relief.

"How is the inspection?" Xiao Jiuqin teased him, "Do you want me to untie my clothes and check?"

Bai Yan originally wanted to see it this way, but when Xiao Jiuqin opened his mouth, he didn't want to.

There is a kind of thought in my heart, and it is obviously disgusting to talk about it, "You are the one who is hurt, what does it have to do with me, after all, you are the one who hurts."

"Is that so..." Xiao Jiuqin pulled out his voice, "I thought Mr. Bai traveled thousands of miles to find him under this cliff regardless of his own safety, because he was worried about my safety, but it turned out that he was just afraid that he would become a widower. "

He purposely used his tone, which was exaggerated and boring, Bai Yan slapped it directly, "I haven't married yet, where is the little widower!"

"Oh, so you think I haven't married you yet..." Xiao Jiuqin said, pulling him over, and before Bai Yan could react, he kissed him heavily on the forehead, "Don't worry, we'll get married when we go back .”

Bai Yan: "..." Suddenly I really wanted to resist the order and didn't obey it.

The two quarreled for a while before they remembered the current predicament.

"The garrison of Suiyang Mansion is about to be called back. Now there are only a hundred or eighty officers and soldiers up there, and a lot of people have been recruited. When I came down, I told the people above that as long as I don't respond, I have found your signal. They'll be able to send someone down another rope shortly."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, Xiao Jiuqin didn't speak immediately, but led him further into the cave.

"What's inside?" Bai Yan was full of doubts.

"The collapse of the mine was not accidental." Xiao Jiuqin said such a sentence, and Bai Yan had already reacted, "You have been prepared for a long time?"

"Naturally." Xiao Jiuqin turned his head to look at Bai Yan's surprised expression, and was amused, "If I hadn't been careful, I would have fallen to pieces."

After walking for a while, the cave was quite dark, but there seemed to be a faint light above Qi Yi's head.

"What's this up there?" Bai Yan had only seen the Ye Mingzhu glow.

"I don't know, most of these things are in the shape of grains, and they can emit some light during the day, but they are useless at night." Going further inside, the thing gradually dimmed, and Xiao Jiuqin took a fire bag , Barely shining some light.

Bai Yan's feet were a little sticky, and he moved his feet uncomfortably, "It's too humid here."

"There's a lot of water seeping from the stone wall, and there's more moss, just walk forward." Just as Xiao Jiuqin finished speaking, Bai Yan's feet slipped, and he subconsciously reached out to grab Xiao Jiuqin.

Xiao Jiuqin reacted faster than him, and directly dragged him into his arms.

"Put him in your arms?" The corners of Xiao Jiuqin's mouth curled up, it was clear that he was the one who pulled her into his arms first, but now he slapped him backwards.

In the darkness, Bai Yan also became more thoughtful. He grabbed Xiao Jiuqin's skirt, leaned closer and kissed him on the chin.

"Not only do I want to throw myself into my arms, but I also want to kiss you. Why, don't you want to?" He intentionally slapped Xiao Jiuqin viciously on the back.

Xiao Jiuqin's eyes were slightly dark, Bai Yan knew nothing, and he continued to tease without fear of death, "There is nothing you can do if you don't want to, the emperor has given you to me, my family has a strict family tradition, only marriage is allowed , no reconciliation is allowed."

"That's it..." Xiao Jiuqin's subordinates intensified their strength a little bit, "Doesn't that mean that I can only rely on you, Mr. Bai, for the rest of my life?"

"Don't worry, the family style returns to the family style. I still understand the righteousness. As long as you don't go out to make trouble, your position as the wife will naturally be stable." Hold tight, and move on.

Bai Yan thought that this cave would lead to other places, but he didn't expect it to be a huge mine.

It looks like it has been abandoned for many years, and there are still some decayed utensils in the corners, including the pot for boiling water. Xiao Jiuqin took Bai Yan to look at it, "That ambitious emperor originally wanted to Suiyang Mountain was turned into a firearms camp in Daliang, "

"But I didn't expect such a commotion/chaos," Bai Yan understood now, "So you discovered this, and you didn't fall off a cliff, but found another way to get here? "

"I just found an exit before, but those two groups of bandits came at the wrong time. I had no other choice at the critical moment, so I just came in." Xiao Jiuqin also felt that it was a coincidence, and it happened that there was a lot of chaos outside, so he Stay here temporarily to investigate the situation.

It's just that he didn't expect that he just followed the cave and saw Bai Yan at a glance. What he didn't say was that at that moment, he was more frightened than happy.

If he was one step late, Bai Yan would definitely be injured.

"You are really courageous." Xiao Jiuqin couldn't help but said, Bai Yan turned his head, and felt a little embarrassed after knowing it. When he heard about Xiao Jiuqin's accident, he lost all reason. Looking at the mountain wall, I don't have time to think about it, but thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared.

"Why didn't you bring He Zhaoyuan with you when you came to Suiyang Mountain this time?" Bai Yan didn't want to talk about the previous things, so he abruptly changed the subject.

Xiao Jiuqin swept out a clean place for Bai Yan to sit down, "The rebuilding of the firearms battalion will not be done in a short while, I just started it now, and it has already provoked people from all over the world to inquire about it." information."

During this period of time, everything seemed to be going well for Xiao Jiuqin, but there were always stumbling blocks in the dark.

"The master of the Suiyang mansion sent the garrison to the neighboring mansion. Who knows what the masters of the two mansions are up to? I came to Suiyang, and he only appeared once. Every time I sent someone to borrow someone, he politely refused. , and the timing of the appearance of the two groups of bandits this time is too coincidental."

"You suspect that the Lord of Suiyang Mansion is in collusion with the bandits?" When Bai Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the bandits in Yongzhou Mansion before.

"It's hard to say, but there must be something I don't know about it." Xiao Jiuqin has no evidence at hand, so he can't impeach him, but Bai Yan is different from him.

I heard Bai Yan laughing, "You have no one around now, and you have to take care of the mine, so leave the matter of the Suiyang Mansion to me."

"You?" Xiao Jiuqin shook his head, "You'd better go back earlier. You came to Suiyang without the emperor's edict, wouldn't it be justified?"

"What if I'm looking for a husband for thousands of miles?" The corners of Bai Yan's mouth curled up, "That day you said in front of the emperor that we were deeply in love, but now I went to Suiyang Mountain for my own selfishness, it's not a big deal. And don't worry, it won't take long for Huai Chun to send me a hand letter, and when the time comes, the name will be justified and no one will be able to gossip."

Xiao Jiuqin didn't know what to say for a while, but after a long while he complained, "You and Huai Chun are too in harmony."

Bai Yan: "..."

Xiao Jiuqin couldn't persuade Bai Yan, so he could only let him go.

The two checked around the mine again, but found nothing new, but the current one was already a great harvest.

When they went out from the exit, the people outside were already looking crazy.

The cliff was too high, very few people dared to go down, but they were all relieved after Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin appeared.

Not long after, the head of the Suiyang Mansion also arrived. He was tall and looked more like a military general. When he saw Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin, he smiled, "Your Majesty came late due to business delays. Hope the Marquis And my lord Haihan."

"Oh, so it's because I'm busy with business," Bai Yan frowned, "I thought that Marquis Pingjin and I were worthless, and Mr. Wen didn't even want to see each other."

It had been two days since the mine collapsed, and Suiyang Mansion was not far from Suiyang Mountain, so it was impossible for him to be so busy that he didn't even have the time to come and have a look.

Bai Yan was used to seeing such things, so he didn't find it surprising, but there was a bit more sarcasm when he opened his mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yan got angry, that lord Wen hurriedly confessed, "My lord is too serious, how dare I be an official, but the official affairs in the mansion are really complicated. When I heard that something happened in Suiyang Mountain, I hurried over here."

He pretended to speak, and Bai Yan was no worse than him, "Since Mrs. Wen is busy, please do as you please. As for the matter of the garrison, I will submit to His Majesty to listen to the imperial edict."

After he finished speaking, he and Xiao Jiuqin walked away. When Mr. Wen saw that the two of them were so straightforward, he couldn't put on the costume anymore. He heard the letter from his cronies and came here, but he didn't expect that Mr. Bai was really as rumored. That's not easy to get along with.

"Hold on, my lord." Wen lord hurriedly walked to the front and stopped the two of them, "It is really helpless to garrison the army. If my lord..."

"Let's keep these explanations in front of His Majesty. I can't make the decision. After all, it violates the rules and regulations."

At first, Bai Yan wanted to have a detailed chat with this Master Wen, but he didn't expect that the other party was not even half as smart as Fang Yue, so he immediately lost interest.

It's just that he didn't want to talk about it, so it doesn't mean that Master Wen is willing to let him go, so he put on a nervous look and admitted his mistake, "My lord, this matter in Suiyang Mansion is really beyond words."

"Then let's make a long story short." Bai Yan glanced at Xiao Jiuqin's face calmly. The two of them each had some understanding in their hearts. If the rescue fails, you will also be held responsible."

"What your lord said is true." The other party seemed to admit it completely at the moment, and Bai Yan said again, "I also know about the affairs between you and the neighboring house, but no matter what, it is against the court's law. If it is true It's a trivial matter to be stabbed to His Majesty. If you are caught by someone with a heart, no one can save you, Mr. Wen..."

"My lord..." Mr. Wen panicked, "All of this was really not my intention, but..."

He suddenly stopped, his face pale, as if he remembered something unspeakable, Bai Yan looked at him, "If there is something else hidden, please tell Mr. Wen the truth, so I can help you with it."
