The next day, when Qin Xuechuan woke up, Xiao Yu was no longer by his side.

He froze for a moment... Everything that happened last night should not be a dream, Xiao Yu should have left now.As soon as Qin Xuechuan got up from the bed, he heard the door "creak". At this moment, he raised his spirits and looked over to the door.

The one who can come to him now is probably Jia Changsheng.But when the door opened, two people came in, and those two were the maids who brought him here yesterday.

Qin Xuechuan was a little surprised when he saw this: "Where are you guys in charge?"

At this moment, one of the maids replied: "Your Excellency, our head of the family invites you to gather in the inner hall."

Qin Xuechuan felt something was wrong after hearing this... Didn't Jia Changsheng promise him yesterday that he would let him go as long as he sent the letter?If he wanted to let him go directly, then why did he send two maids to invite him to the inner hall at this moment?

Qin Xuechuan said again at this moment: "You are the boss, I want to see him!"

Seeing Qin Xuechuan walking out alone, the maid quickly reached out her hand to stop him.Qin Xuechuan saw these two maids, they still had a bit of kung fu, and it's really not good to be head-to-head at this moment.

It's just... Jia Changsheng clearly agreed to it at the beginning, but what went wrong now?

Qin Xuechuan stopped, and he agreed to go to the inner hall with the two maids to meet Jia Changsheng.

***

As soon as Qin Xuechuan walked out, he found that apart from the two maids leading the way in front of him, there were several bandits behind him.

In this way, isn't he surrounded by these bandits?In this way, he can't run even if he wants to...

It's only been one night, Qin Xuechuan clenched his fists tightly, his palms were sweating.He thought carefully which step went wrong?Why did this Jia Changsheng change his mind midway?

As he walked, he thought, not long after, he was brought to the so-called "inner hall" by the two maids, but when he entered the inner hall, the people behind suddenly closed the door.

When Qin Xuechuan heard the sound of closing the door, his heart became flustered. He hurriedly looked back, and then looked at the wooden chair covered with tiger skin in the inner hall.

Although he didn't see anyone now, his hearing was extraordinary, and he heard other people breathing in this room besides him.About three people...

Qin Xuechuan felt more and more that something was wrong, and he suddenly shouted: "What does the boss mean?"

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Changsheng came out from behind the wooden screen behind the chair: "What do you mean? You come here, of course I, Jia, will entertain you well."

The tone of his speech was a bit different from yesterday, Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment, and then he continued to ask: "The master promised me yesterday, once the letter is delivered today, he will let me go, now you want to go back on what you said?"

"It's not me, Jia, who backtracked on my word, but you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan's heart was suddenly shaken, but he still pretended to be calm: "Is the boss joking?"

Jia Changsheng suddenly smiled when he heard what he said, and then he smiled and clapped his hands.As soon as the sound fell, Qin Xuechuan's eyes suddenly widened. Standing in front of him was Li Jia who tricked him to Longhu Mountain the day before yesterday.

Seeing his reaction, Jia Changsheng smiled: "His Royal Highness, if you want to act, you still know how to act. I, Jia, didn't find any flaws. If Master Li hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark. Unexpectedly The majestic prince of a country will come to this small place of Caomin, the arrival of His Royal Highness really makes my dragon and tiger mountain flourish!"

Qin Xuechuan saw that he had been exposed, so he didn't try to hide himself, he suddenly sneered: "Li Jia, you are really one way in front of others, and another way behind you, I didn't find out that you had two hearts earlier, it is really me Oversight."

Although Li Jia followed Jia Changsheng, he himself was still as timid as a mouse. At this moment, he continued: "His Royal Highness is over-reputed, and this is just for self-protection. Since this official has committed a heinous crime, it is considered a crime and meritorious service." It is also impossible for the imperial court to spare the subordinate officials, so it is better for the subordinate officials to go to Longhu Mountain and follow the head of the family, and the head of the family can still protect the wife and children of the subordinate officials, than to continue to work for your court."

Qin Xuechuan sneered again when he heard his words: "Lord Li is planning ahead, I really have to admire it, so when did you have a different heart? Was it before I entered the city, or earlier?"

After hearing his question, Li Jia told the truth: "Your Highness, the imperial court clearly knows that there are bandits in Ning'an County, but they have ignored the lives and deaths of our people for several years. Why should we be loyal to the imperial court? The head of the family is very good to the people of Ning'an Prefecture on weekdays, if Ning'an Prefecture is under the management of the head of the family in the future, I think the people here will live and work in peace and contentment."

Qin Xuechuan laughed suddenly when he heard his absurd remarks, and then he looked at Li Jia: "Live and work in peace and contentment? You send women from common people's families to bandit dens, and let these bandits make weapons privately. Do you want to start a war? If you want the common people to live and work in peace, Master Li doesn’t think what you said is just a joke?”

Li Jia's eyes widened suddenly when he heard what he said. Even Jia Changsheng came down from the top. He looked at Qin Xuechuan: "How do you know that we are making weapons privately?"

When Qin Xuechuan heard him ask this question, he laughed again: "Are you admitting it?"

When Jia Changsheng heard his rhetorical question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, we are indeed manufacturing weapons privately, so what's the matter? The emperor is fatuous and incompetent, and the people are complaining. It's just for self-preservation."

"But last night you told me that you were going to join forces with the Xiao family to rebel. You said that, right?"

After hearing what Qin Xuechuan said, Jia Changsheng suddenly laughed: "Your Highness, you must have evidence for what you say, why are you talking nonsense? And who heard it that night, these are just His Highness's one-sided words, that is, the grassroots want to rebel, but The Xiao family has protected the Great Chu River and Mountains for decades, if His Highness speaks out, won't it be true?"

"Besides, His Highness is now in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain. You said that if the grass people use you as the crown prince to threaten your Great Chu Emperor, will your Great Chu Emperor send someone to rescue you?"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Xuechuan took out a sharp dagger from nowhere, and he put the dagger on his neck.

Jia Changsheng, who was still calm just now, suddenly panicked, and he shouted, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Xuechuan said with a smile: "The soldiers of our Great Chu were defeated and captured. In order not to hurt the mother country, they committed suicide to repay the mother country's kindness. How could you, a small bandit, threaten the palace? If you dare to use the palace to threaten the court today, Ben Gong committed suicide here, although Ben Gong died, there are people in Da Chu who can inherit the throne, do you think that Ben Gong died in your place, can you still enjoy the blessings here safe and sound?"

Jia Changsheng was stunned when he heard his words. He had long heard that Da Chu's current prince had been ill since he was a child, cowardly and incompetent.How do you know he is so strong now?

But at this moment, Li Jia who was standing next to him suddenly persuaded him: "The head of the family, he is the crown prince after all, if the crown prince of Chu died here, our situation may be..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Changsheng looked at him and said, "What do you want to do now?"

Qin Xuechuan said coldly after hearing his question: "Where's the maid I brought, bring her here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Changsheng winked at the person next to him.

***

Not long after, Qin Yuan was escorted to Qin Xuechuan's side. Qin Xuechuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. Fortunately, she was fine.

When Qin Yuan first saw Qin Xuechuan, she was extremely excited, but when she saw Qin Xuechuan holding a knife to her neck, she suddenly exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

After Qin Xuechuan saw that Qin Yuan was safe and sound, he still did not relax his vigilance. He tightly held the dagger in his hand. This dagger was obviously given to him by Xiao Yu for self-defense. He kept hiding in his clothes and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Jia Changsheng. I didn't expect to use it on myself in reverse now.

"Prepare to take the two of us out alone. If you dare to play tricks and I die in Longhu Mountain, the imperial court will send troops to raze your place to the ground tomorrow!"

When Jia Changsheng heard it, he quickly waved and called someone over, and he said to a maid beside him, "Do as he says."

Qin Xuechuan has seen the two maids beside him. These two maids have good martial arts. What will they do to them on the road? Let the palace lead the way!"

After Li Jia heard this, he raised his head in surprise, and then said: "Didn't Your Highness still doubt the intention of the official just now, why did you ask the official to lead the way for you at this moment?"

Qin Xuechuan laughed a little after hearing what he said, the traitor wanted to shirk it.Qin Xuechuan said again: "After all, you still care about your life. Since Mr. Li Jia can trick me to this mountain, then you must have a way to take me out, right?"

"This..." Li Jia was speechless at the moment. He turned his head and looked at Jia Changsheng. He leads the way."

After hearing this, Li Jia had no choice but to agree: "Yes!"

Qin Yuan froze for a moment after hearing their conversation, she seemed to have noticed something... It seems that these vicious people already knew Qin Xuechuan's true identity.

***

Li Jia led the way, Qin Xuechuan walked in the middle, and Qin Yuan watched the bandits from behind. After they walked for a long time, the bandits stopped staring at them.

Qin Xuechuan looked at Li Jia at the moment: "Master Li, you were an official of the imperial court anyway, and now you are mixed with bandits, don't you think it's a pity?"

Li Jia has been walking in front, he didn't dare to look back at Qin Xuechuan, he said submissively at this moment: "Your Highness, didn't you just say that when I got down from office, I'd rather find another way than working for the court and waiting to be ransacked by everyone." road."

Qin Yuan walked a little closer now, and she said, "Brother Prince, there is no one behind."

Qin Xuechuan nodded at her, then immediately turned back to Li Jia and continued: "Aren't you afraid that the court will hold you accountable for your crimes? As long as you listen to what I say, I can absolve you of your guilt."

"His Royal Highness is not the emperor. If the emperor wants to punish me, it will not be easy. Your Highness, please don't tease me."

Qin Xuechuan still didn't believe him after hearing what he meant, so he said again: "I will be the emperor in the future, so I will naturally protect you."

Li Jia was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, and then he seemed to be joking: "Your Highness is treasonous when you say this? After all, the current emperor is still alive and well. Even if you are the master of this big Chu in the future, you are now Can’t cover the sky with one hand?”

"Master Li has been refusing. Could it be that he has made up his mind to talk to those bandits?"

After hearing Qin Xuechuan's question, Li Jia never spoke again.

Seeing that he didn't talk to him, Qin Xuechuan felt that his heart was shaken, so he continued: "Those bandits are not good people after all, does Mr. Li think that if he enters the bandit's den, he can be alone? And get rid of the bandits here It's just a matter of sooner or later, now I don't want to hide it from you, the imperial court's reinforcements are already on the way, and it won't be long before this place will be razed to the ground, does Master Li think that he can still live well by then?"

After Li Jia heard Qin Xuechuan's words, his heart was shaken even more seriously. In fact, he was also feeling uneasy at the moment.How could he not know that these bandits are not kind, if not for saving his life, he would not be willing to follow these bandits.

"Your Majesty Li, you should think about it. The worst outcome is not only that I die here, but Da Chu has plenty of princes. It doesn't matter if I die here, but the imperial court will definitely gather troops to raze this place to the ground."

When Li Jia heard his words, he finally stopped. He suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Qin Xuechuan with a "thud" sound: "His Royal Highness! Please forgive me for being confused. I did all this just to save my life, Your Highness." I’ve heard that people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish! When Xiaguan was first transferred to Ning’an County, he wanted to do something big, but he had no choice but to encounter bandits, who threatened his wife and children. If the officials don't follow the advice of those bandits, those bandits will go down the mountain and slaughter the people! Your Highness thinks why those bandits store up so much food in one year, it's because those bandits robbed us around Ning'an County People! And they spread rumors outside, saying that they robbed the rich and donated to the poor, leaving them a good reputation, and it is really helpless to be dismissed!"

Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he looked at Li Jia: "Then I will give you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. If you take me out now, I will protect you. Also, you are here When you were leaving, Jia Changsheng stopped you and said something, Ben Gong thought, he really wants you to take me out of Longhu Mountain, right?"

After Li Jia heard what he said, he quickly said: "Your Highness Mingjian, it is indeed the case. Then Jia Changsheng did ask me to take you to a remote place on Longhu Mountain. There are people guarding it. Wait until the officials bring His Highness to Someone came out there and snatched the dagger in His Highness's hand, and then captured His Highness."
