Afterwards, he sneered and said, "Oh? I heard that Da Dangjia means that he wants to keep me here as a hostage?"

Jia Changsheng shook his head at this moment to defend himself and said: "Hey... the son is wrong to blame me, Jia, I am just afraid that the son will not come back after leaving alone, so I want to keep the son here for a few more days Forget it, anyway, my Longhu Mountain has a beautiful scenery, and the people down here will definitely serve the prince with good food and drink. Of course, if someone is not well received, the prince can tell me directly, and I will personally deal with those people for the prince. "

Hearing Jia Changsheng's words, Qin Xuechuan decided to keep him here. Since Jia Changsheng didn't break up with him in the name of face, Qin Xuechuan can also follow him. After all, this is a bandit village, and something will happen if it is not kept clean.

"Since everyone in charge has said this, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Jia Changsheng was very happy after hearing his answer: "Come here, send the distinguished guest to rest."

After finishing speaking, two well-dressed women walked in from outside the door. Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan winked at Qin Yuan who was standing behind him. Qin Yuan immediately recovered and followed behind Qin Xuechuan.

***

Xiao Yu and his party were led down the mountain by those bandits, but they did not reach the mountain pass after walking for a long time, so he turned his head and glanced at the people behind him: "I dare to ask, I remember that when I came, I only left It’s a short distance to Dadang’s house, but now why have we walked for so long and haven’t reached the mountain pass yet?”

The bandits behind him suddenly laughed when they heard his question: "I can't go anymore! If you want to go, you should go to Huangquan Road!"

After finishing speaking, many bandits wearing leather armor suddenly jumped down from the narrow mountain path. These leather armors were all made according to the regulations of marching soldiers.Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned pale after seeing those people.

He didn't expect that he would be put together.

That damn Li Jia!

Xiao Yu suddenly took out the dagger he hid behind his back and blocked the throat of the bandit holding the knife at the front, then he snatched the bandit's weapon: "Do it!"

As soon as the words fell, the guards who followed him disguised as bandits also rushed forward to deal with the bandits in front of him.

These bandits seemed tougher than any bandits they had ever encountered.This Jia Changsheng had been a soldier before, and these bandits were trained like a marching army, so they did not panic when they surrounded Xiao Yu and the others.

"Damn it! These people are really hard to deal with!" Li Ying scolded at this moment.

Xiao Yu said again at this moment: "Don't love to fight, run when you get the chance!"

"Yes!"

Fortunately, although these bandits have been trained, they are not serious soldiers, and they can only know the kung fu of some three-legged cats. Xiao Yu and the others quickly settled down the bandits in front of them. This opportunity jumped onto the nearby mountain path and ran out.

But when they wanted to run out, Xiao Yu suddenly found that there were many bandits guarding around the mountain road. Although their martial arts were better than those bandits, they were outnumbered after all. Once they fought with these people, their physical strength would be very weak It will run out soon.And in the end they were either captured by these bandits or killed...

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth when he thought of this, and said to the people behind him: "Run back, find a place to hide first!"

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

***

After Qin Xuechuan was taken to a remote room by those people, he heard someone close the door, and there was a sound of locks being locked outside.

And at this moment, as if suddenly unable to suppress his anger, he slammed the round table next to him with his hands: "Damn it! That old fox Li Jia dared to plot against me!"

Qin Yuan has never seen Qin Xuechuan so angry before, and the makeup on his face is already worn out... Qin Yuan wanted to go forward and wipe him off with a handkerchief, but when she saw his angry face, she didn't dare to went.

"Brother Prince..."

Qin Xuechuan came back to his senses after hearing Qin Yuan's voice, he hurried to the door and put his ears on it for a while?Then he went to the window and the corner to check.

Seeing that his behavior was so abnormal, Qin Yuan asked, "Brother Prince, what's wrong with you...?"

When Qin Xuechuan came back to his senses, he made a "shh" gesture. At this moment, he walked slowly in front of Qin Yuan and said in a low voice, "Be careful when speaking in this place, and be careful that the walls have ears."

Qin Yuan nodded after hearing what he said: "Yes! Yuan'er understands."

After finishing speaking, she asked cautiously: "Brother Prince, who do you think plotted against you?"

Qin Xuechuan said: "It was Li Jia who sent us up the mountain, he pretended to be cowardly on the surface, but in the end he dared to inform these bandits secretly."

After hearing what he said, Qin Yuan suddenly said in disbelief: "In this case, then... will the bandits here use their identity as the prince's brother to blackmail the father?"

Qin Xuechuan shook his head after hearing her question: "Not yet, it was last night when Shizi Xiao and I went to find Li Jia and asked him to take us up the mountain together, although I don't know what method he used to contact these bandits , but the bandit leader Jia Changsheng definitely doesn’t know my real identity, otherwise we two wouldn’t be able to stay here safely now.”

When Qin Yuan heard this, she suddenly lowered her head guiltily, and tears fell from her eyes: "Yes... I'm sorry, Brother Prince... it's Yuan'er who dragged you down this time. , if Yuan'er hadn't acted recklessly, perhaps our plan would have succeeded long ago."

After seeing her self-blaming appearance, Qin Xuechuan comforted her and said, "Ah Yuan is not to blame for this matter, Li Jia made it clear that he wanted to plot against us, he has long been in collusion with these bandits, no matter what we do, it will be useless. "

After hearing his words, Qin Yuan suddenly wrinkled her face full of tears from crying, and she said angrily: "This thief is really hateful! When I go out, I must tell Father about this, Kill their nine clans!"

Qin Yuan's temperament is the gentlest among the princesses, and Qin Xuechuan was really surprised that she could say such hostile words.

Qin Xuechuan frowned at this moment: "A Yuan, do you know what Zhu Jiu Clan means?"

Qin Yuan nodded her head at this moment and said: "Of course I know, it means killing the whole family of that dog official. If we don't set an example to others and someone will commit another crime in the future, wouldn't we be full of corrupt officials everywhere in Dachu?"

Qin Yuan's words really surprised Qin Xuechuan, he didn't expect the princess who has been living in the palace for a long time to say such words.But what she said is also very reasonable, the emperor's way has always been like this.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan thought about it, has he been too soft-hearted all this time?If he could learn to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Qin Yuan, maybe he wouldn't have to worry about being killed all day long.

It's just that Qin Yuan still doesn't quite understand what the "Zhu Jiu Clan" means... The Zhu Jiu Clan in Dachu is to dig out that person's genealogy, and no one's name can be found on it, from the elderly to the children.This is also one of the heaviest punishments imposed by Da Chu. Except for those treasonous ministers, few families can bear such a punishment.

Maybe... Qin Yuan heard it from someone.

***

Qin Xuechuan and Qin Yuan were quiet for a while.Qin Yuan saw that Qin Xuechuan's anger had subsided a little, so she wiped off all the makeup on his face. Although the room where the two of them were locked up was small, fortunately there were things for washing. Qin Xuechuan didn't like these things at first. The smell of rouge and gouache, and after his face was wiped clean, he suddenly sighed as if he was relieved.

At this moment, Qin Yuan wiped the powder on his face and asked, "Brother Prince, what should we do next?"

Qin Xuechuan closed his eyes and said helplessly: "We are being plotted against, but your brother is still guarding in Ning'an Prefecture with those bandit suppressing soldiers. If it is really Li Jia plotting against us, then he should be here at this moment. On the way to escape. As long as your brother finds out that Li Jia is missing, he will realize that Xiao Shizi and I are also gone, and then he will come to Longhu Mountain to join us. Besides, the letter asking for reinforcements has been sent out. I believe that soon..."

When saying this, Qin Xuechuan suddenly stopped.

Qin Yuan heard that he suddenly stopped talking, so she asked again: "Does the prince brother really believe in Luo brother?"

Qin Xuechuan froze for a moment after hearing her question... The answer to this question is of course.Qin Xuechuan may not trust those in the court, but he will trust Qin Luochuan. Even if the current plot does not follow the original book, Qin Luochuan is expected to be an emperor no matter what, and he will not be so stupid that he will abandon his troops and run away.

Just when the two of them finished talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly, it sounded like there were two people.

And at this moment one of them opened the door with a key.It was the maid who brought the two of them here who came in, and one of them said, "My lord, please go and have a talk with us."

After Qin Xuechuan heard this, he looked back at Qin Yuan: "You wait here, don't move around until I come back."

Qin Yuan understood what he meant, and she nodded at this moment: "Yes, this servant knows."

The drama of master and servant continued between the two of them.

After hearing what she said, Qin Xuechuan followed the two maids and left.At this moment, he glanced to the side from the corner of his eye - the taller maid put away the key and put it on the pendant around her waist.

The pendant seemed to be made of white jade. These two people were probably Jia Changsheng's confidantes, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to use this kind of thing.

***

The terrain of Longhu Mountain is indeed complicated. The mountains here have different ups and downs, and the mountain roads are narrow. It is indeed as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the rumors say.This Jia Changsheng used to be a soldier. Although he came here from his home country in the end, he has not forgotten the skills he practiced as a soldier. Otherwise, he would not have ruled the cottage for more than ten years.

But again, what country is Jia Changsheng from?The accents of the countries around Chu State are also slightly different. Although this Jia Changsheng intentionally imitated Chu people's speech, Qin Xuechuan still noticed that he had a special oral habit, which should not be the Chu people's speaking habit.

……

Not long after they walked, those two people brought Qin Xuechuan into a large room. As soon as Qin Xuechuan entered, the two maids closed the door.Qin Xuechuan felt that something was wrong at this moment, he hurriedly wanted to go up to open the door, but at this moment he found that the door had been locked.

Qin Xuechuan was imprisoned here suddenly, and he panicked... Didn't he have been imprisoned with Qin Yuan just now?Why did Jia Changsheng trick him here and lock him up alone?

Just when Qin Xuechuan wanted to find a way out, the man with a long vertical scar on his face suddenly came out from behind the gauze curtain: "Why are you so anxious, are you afraid that I, Jia, will eat you up?"

Qin Xuechuan pretended to be calm when he heard this and smiled: "If the head of the family has something to say, we can talk during the day, you see it's almost dark now."

Jia Changsheng laughed suddenly: "It's just because it's dark that I can talk." As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the pen and ink on the table next to him, "My lord, I have prepared all the things for you to write the letter. You edited a book and sent it to Fengdu."

Qin Xuechuan saw him like this, so he said again: "The head of the family really wants to do this? The ugly words can be said first, and I, Xiao Yu, are just a courtier. Now the emperor is afraid of the power of our Xiao family, and he wants to get rid of our Xiao family all day long." Master, if I pass such a letter to Fengdu at this moment, the emperor might suspect that I have colluded with the head of the family and plotted to seize his country?"

After Jia Changsheng heard what he said at this moment, the smile on his face became brighter than before: "Then wouldn't it be better? In addition to writing a letter to Fengdu, the son will also send a letter from home to your father who is guarding the border." , so how about we cooperate inside and outside to seize the country of Great Chu?"

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan tried very hard to control the surprised expression on his face.He really didn't think of this person. He didn't want to be a fiefdom king at all. He, a bandit leader, still wanted to be emperor?

Jia Changsheng seemed to have noticed the subtle expression on Qin Xuechuan's face, and he continued: "Da Chu's strength is exhausted, since the Xiao family holds the military power, why not take this opportunity to overthrow the emperor of Da Chu, How about a change of dynasty?"

It is true that the Xiao family holds the military power, but the emperor holds the military talisman to mobilize the generals of Chu.This Jia Changsheng was also a soldier before, so he doesn't even know about this, does he?

After Qin Xuechuan heard his boldly premeditated rebellion, he deliberately put on a very surprised expression. He frowned and looked at Jia Changsheng: "Does the master know what he is talking about? Just because you are not enough on Longhu Mountain Will ten thousand people come to overthrow Da Chu?"

"Of course I know that I don't have enough manpower, so I have to ask the prince for help. In terms of family background or merits on the battlefield, how can your Xiao family be inferior to the emperor? You guard the country of Dachu tremblingly, but the one who sits on the throne But it's not you, don't you think it's a little unfair?"

Qin Xuechuan thought that Jia Changsheng had some abilities, so it turned out that he was playing tricks here.

Since Qin Xuechuan already knew how big his ambitions were, he decided to use his tactics to find out whether Jia Changsheng had been in contact with Linchuan Wang Xiao's family in recent years.

"As the master, I still say the same thing: Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land. This world is destined to be the world of Da Chu from the beginning, and it is the world of their Qin family, and our Xiao family is just It's just a courtier, if you want mercenaries to rebel, you'll leave behind traitors and traitors who seek power and usurp the throne!"

After Jia Changsheng heard this, he said again: "Hey... the son's words are wrong. Your aunt already has an inside line in Fengdu City, and your father and king lead an army of 10,000+ at the border. If you want to seek power If you want to usurp the throne, why not? Historians have always been determined by the victors. If your Xiao family became emperor, these infamys would naturally be erased from the history books. Besides, when the Qin family proclaimed themselves emperor, you The Xiao family is also one of the aristocratic families, in terms of merit, you should be emperors."

When hearing this, Qin Xuechuan suddenly admired Jia Changsheng's eloquence.Not long ago he said that he was a vulgar person who didn't know how to speak, but isn't his ability to be eccentric now pretty good?

Qin Xuechuan suddenly wondered if Xiao Yu was really sitting here, would he be brainwashed by Jia Changsheng's words.

But what made him even more unexpected was that this bandit leader who had lived in Longhu Mountain for more than ten years would know about Concubine Xiao Xian.He said Concubine Xiao Xian already had an insider in Fengdu, so how did he know about it?

Also... Concubine Xiao Xian once approached him before the Phoenix God Sacrifice, and said that she hoped that he would protect their mother and son after he ascended the throne in the future. Could it be that what Concubine Xiao Xian said was just a lie, in fact, her purpose was also the same as Xiao's. Like the family - they all want to rebel?

After hearing Jia Changsheng's words, Qin Xuechuan looked at him and asked, "The head of the family wants our Xiao family to rebel and become emperor so much, but what benefits can you get from it?"

After Jia Changsheng heard what Qin Xuechuan said, he thought he was shaken, so he quickly smiled and said: "If the prince agrees to do this, then I, Jia, will definitely help me, as long as the king of Linchuan promises to give me an official Half-time is fine."

Qin Xuechuan felt contradictory when he heard his words... The condition he proposed to Fengdu at the beginning was to give him Ning'an Prefecture and give him a title of prince.But if the Xiao family's rebellion succeeds, all he needs to do is find an official job, so what does he think?

Qin Xuechuan pondered for a long time, at this moment he suddenly raised his head and looked at Jia Changsheng: "Has the Qin royal family ever had any enmity with you?"

Jia Changsheng's face suddenly changed when he heard him ask this question, and his expression became very ugly at the moment.

It seems that this is right. He does not seek money or power but wants to incite the Xiao family to rebel. There is only one reason for him to target the Qin royal family in this way - he hates the royal family, so as long as the people of the Dachu royal family are rushed Kill him, it doesn't matter what he does.

Qin Xuechuan saw that his expression was a bit bad, so he said again: "I guessed it right?"

Jia Changsheng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he knelt down in front of Qin Xuechuan: "My lord, you have to do this matter if you want to, and you have to do it if you don't want to, otherwise I, Jia, can only offend you and lock you up here. Send someone to the border to send a letter to King Linchuan to see if he will send troops to rescue you."

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan looked at him even more puzzled... This person must have taken Xiao Yu too seriously. The king of Linchuan was willing to let Xiao Yu enter Fengdu as a hostage, so he didn't take his son seriously if he made it clear.Jia Changsheng's move is really stupid.
