The villain is far from my CP!

I took the initiative to lie under the high-hanging guillotine and show you everything.

Can you not leave?

There was an abyss of ink rolling in the boy's dark eyes.

He didn't let the ministers lie down, and didn't even give them any glances. After getting off the carriage, he turned around and stared at his carriage for a moment.

It seems that there are some rare treasures in it.

Ever since Qi Changting tried his best to endure thirty court sticks to tear off a piece of Qi Jingmin's flesh, the court's impression of the third prince's mediocrity and cowardice has been shattered.

The bloody killing stick, and the boy's straight spine when he walked out of the Zichen Palace, no one dared to treat him as a little sheep for several years.

Now that the young man is silent, they dare not move, and the arc of their bows is not even the slightest difference.

However, there was still no movement in the carriage.

Qi Changting's heart sank little by little, and finally turned into a pool of dead silence.

He rolled his throat and took a light breath,

The young man who was as hard as a steel plate in front of the courtiers took a step closer to the carriage, and whispered in a pleading tone that only the two of them could hear:

"Follow me."

Even if it's just tonight, follow me closely.

Qi Changting stretched out his hand, submerged in the curtain of the car, as gently as if he was beckoning a precious cat.

Finally, after a few breaths, the curtain moved.

From the other side protruded a snow-white and delicate woman's hand, and the girl dressed as a maid got out of the carriage.

——Flowers actually bloomed in the car of His Highness the Third Highness.

The ministers still bowed their bodies and did not dare to raise their heads, but by the side of the woods, a group of girls quietly hid in the bushes, wanting to see the three elegant girls of His Royal Highness, all of them had such thoughts in their hearts.

The girl's face is like new snow, her hair is like ebony, her waist is full of hands, and the willows are supporting the wind, but she has a bit of character.

For example——completely ignoring the outstretched hand of His Highness the Third Highness, and got off the carriage from the other side.

She is so arrogant, yet has the trust of the third prince, so that no one notices that she is actually dressed as a maid.

Even Baiqiao himself forgot that he is Qi Changting's servant girl.

He is the third prince, he is the villain's third prince!

How is it possible...how is it possible?

The brain was blank at first, and then a flood of chaotic thoughts flooded in.

It was he who was assassinated by his own brother in the rainy night, he was the one who raised his hands and raised his hands to be a modest son, he was the one with red moles on his ears, and he was the one who worked hard to raise food and clean up the silt.

This is so different from the villain in the book who is ruthless, disregards human life, and treats people as nothing!

Even the reason why Ye Huan was so hostile to her on the painting boat before was obviously because of this person in front of him.

Baiqiao's hands and feet were icy cold, trying to find any clues, what went wrong.

However completely in vain.

Once his undeniable cognition was subverted, Bai Qiao suddenly felt his teeth turn cold.

There can be no mistakes in the book, so has he been pretending for so long?

Pretend that she, an outsider who has read the original novel, can't see any flaws, what kind of deep-minded person this is.

At this time, a young man suddenly begged softly from outside the curtain: "Follow me closely."

Bai Qiao's fingers twitched, and then he clenched his fist instantly.

follow him?

How could he still say such a thing!

Bai Qiao got up, resolutely avoided the hand that came in to help her, and got out of the carriage by himself.

As a result, he was caught off guard by a group of ministers bowing behind the young man to salute.

This jump finally reminded her of her situation.

She is now pretending to be a maid, and Qi Changting has just reached out to help her a "servant" under the eyes of everyone.

Damn, he did it on purpose!

The girl's eyes wished she could poke two holes in the boy's body, but Qi Changting just lowered his eyes slightly and didn't look at her.

Bai Qiao took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and stood behind Qi Changting pretending nothing happened.

So, when the ministers finally straightened up, everything was beyond normal.

Qi Changting was the last of the three princes to arrive.

Because the officials had to follow the old rules, they could only sit at the table after welcoming the emperor and prince. At this time, the banquet hall was empty, and Qi Jingmin and Qi Yunzheng were sitting in the side hall silently.

Behind the two stood their two personal guards, and the air was very quiet.

Although Qi Yunzheng is also a bastard, he is not as tactful as Qi Changting in the past. He is backed by Duke Cheng'en and only dealt with the Turkic people on the battlefield since he was a child.

Finally, it was Qi Jingmin who couldn't help breaking the deadlock first, and the faint laughter of the young man resounded in the room.

"It's such a grand occasion in Changting, let the two elder brothers wait here for him to take a seat."

Qi Yunzheng hummed indifferently, glanced lightly at the corner of the second floor of the banquet hall, and frowned imperceptibly.

He has been leading the army all year round and is not familiar with the East, but he has a wolf-like intuition for potential bloodshed and crises.

Always feel that things are not quite right.

But the question is whether it is Qi Changting or Qi Jingmin.

Opposite him, Qi Jingmin narrowed his eyes slightly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Very good, if you don't take him seriously, don't blame him for being cruel.

The young man stood up and looked towards the long corridor not far away. Officials flocked to the banquet hall from all directions, and Qi Changting fell at the end with two personal guards and a maid.

Is that Baiqiao? Qi Changting really brought her here.

It's true that she looks like a fairy, but it's a pity.

The corner of the young man's lips raised a dark smile, he said to Qi Yunzheng quietly without turning his head: "Second brother, the banquet is about to start, let's take a seat."

Qi Yunzheng raised his eyes to look at Qi Jingmin's back, stepped up to follow, and the moment the two of them stepped into the front hall one by one——

laugh!

The finger-length thin blade glowing with black light galloped obliquely from above, cut off half of Qi Jingmin's temple hair in front, and stabbed directly at Qi Yunzheng's throat.

At the same time, because Qi Changting was the last to arrive among the three princes, he was being coerced by officials into the banquet hall.

"Get down!" The boy yelled, and pulled the girl beside him into his arms.

It was too late and then soon, Qi Yunzheng dodged the hidden weapon, but it was just a note, the door of the banquet hall was slammed shut behind Qi Changting, and then the fine rain of arrows was like a movement, shooting at the living creatures in the hall regardless of enemy or friend.

In the hall, from the prime minister of the first rank to the minister of the third rank, there are all figures who can make the whole emblem tremble at the touch of a single move, but under the sudden rain of arrows, they can only run away screaming "there is an assassin".

"Come on, go up to the second floor and arrest people!" Qi Jingmin yelled out in a panic.

Taking advantage of the rest of the arrows on the second floor, the guards in bronze armor rushed to the second floor of the banquet hall in just a few breaths, but found nothing.

"Reporting to Your Highness, there are no assassins, they are all organs!" The repeated voices of replies on the second floor made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom of the valley.

The officials frantically stood up holding their caps, and then looked at each other.

——If it is really a mechanism, except for the two timid people who fainted from fright, the rest of them may have got a small prize, but they are still standing upright.

The organs already under the control of the guards did not launch a second wave of attacks.

"Thanks to the third highness, you just said get down!" The Minister of the Ministry of War suddenly turned around and bowed to Qi Changting, "The direction set by the agency is at the height of a person standing. When your highness asks people to lie down, most of the arrows will fold in half in midair. , the minister can escape his life!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately resonated, but Qi Changting, who was thanked by everyone, looked solemnly, and looked at Qi Jingmin inside from afar.

Qi Jingmin smiled lightly at this gaze, and suddenly said loudly: "But Your Highness, how do you know where the arrow is aiming?"

The noise in the hall gradually quieted down.

The officials suddenly stopped talking, hearing what Qi Jingmin meant, and looked towards Qi Changting with horror on their faces.

The young man's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his right hand was still firmly grasping the wrist of the "servant", refusing to let go even a single step.

At this time, Qi Yunzheng also suddenly said, "The arrow just now may be a mechanism, but the black blade that shot at me and His Highness,"

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, pulled out the small knife with the length of his index finger from the door leaf of the side hall, and displayed it in front of everyone.

"A hidden weapon of this shape, with its strength just now, can never be done by an agency."

Qi Yunzheng didn't want to say more when he said this, he only explained the facts, but he didn't say what the facts showed.

No one noticed the disappointment that flashed across Qi Jingmin's eyes.

After another breath, Qi Jingmin finally spoke again: "Could it be that the mechanism set up by the third brother is just a confusing obstacle, and it is true to kill me and the second brother if you get mixed up in it!"

"Chang Ting, are you going to rebel!" Qi Jingmin flicked his wide sleeves, suddenly attacking.

All the officials were horrified when they heard the words, and Qi Changting's body suddenly became vacant.

However, the boy remained silent.

Just when everyone thought that Qi Changting had acquiesced, the "servant" who had been hiding behind him from the beginning to the end suddenly shook off the young man's hand and shouted coldly:

"Bullshit!"

Everyone in the hall was taken aback for a moment, and the young man also had a look of astonishment, belatedly looking at the girl beside him.

But Bai Qiao didn't look at him, stared at Qi Jingmin and said: "There is also a machine crossbow directly opposite the door, he was able to warn in time because he saw it in advance."

Qi Jingmin smiled, "How do you know?"

"I saw it too," Bai Qiao said without showing any weakness, "I'm a merchant woman who has never seen the world, so I don't keep my etiquette and don't look around like you adults. When the door was closed, I clearly saw the door facing the hall The window of the private room on the second floor opened, and a crossbow protruded from it!"

The smile on Qi Jingmin's face gradually faded.

"You are with him, and the testimony is not credible."

The girl's apricot eyes were stern, and she was aroused, and was about to speak again, but her mouth was covered by a warm and dry palm.

"Well."

"Shh."

The boy's palm was so big that it almost covered half of the girl's small face.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Baiqiao seems to hear a smile in this breath.

Bai Qiao: "..." Help what she was doing just now!

That's the hero!

But it's too late.

The young man held the girl who had suddenly become quiet, covered her face and half embraced her in his arms, and said calmly: "Your Highness doesn't have to be so aggressive, I also have doubts and I hope His Highness can solve it."

Without waiting for Qi Jingmin's response, he asked directly, "Why did the guards called in by His Highness come so quickly?"

Qi Jingmin's pupils narrowed slightly, and he was about to speak, but was cut off again.

"Your Highness naturally has His Highness's reasons, just like I have my reasons, but I only know," Qi Changting said here, his eyes suddenly passed Qi Jingmin, and fell on Qi Yunzheng who was next to him, "I only know that there is nothing in this room. Originally, there were only a few dead objects, but now, there are still soldiers who obey the orders of His Highness!"

The process is complicated and needless to say, but it is clear at a glance who will benefit from the result.

Qi Jingmin's complexion changed drastically, and in the next moment, his neck suddenly felt cold.

Qi Yunzheng, who seemed to be standing by his side just now, suddenly pulled out a short dagger from nowhere and put it around his neck.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that shocked all the officials and three views in the hall happened.

The banquet hall guards, who hadn't shown any inclination, suddenly pointed their weapons at Qi Yunzheng in unison.

Qi Jingmin's "Don't move rashly" stuck in his throat, his complexion pale.

Can't these idiots see that Qi Yunzheng is deceiving them!

But it was too late, and the subconscious reaction could not be faked.

These people are not the original guards of the palace at all, but Qi Jingmin's own people!

The ministers were in an uproar, except for a few senior officials surrounding the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the rest all retreated one after another.

"Don't move!" Qi Jingmin completely tore off the mask of hypocrisy.

Originally, he wanted to kill Qi Yunzheng, then put the matter on Qi Changting's head, and then justifiably enter the palace to ask for the crown prince, but he didn't want to come to this step in the end!

"Second brother, put the knife away, otherwise none of the two thousand Xingyang garrisons that have already stationed in the back mountain will be left alive!"

Qi Yunzheng's pupils shrank sharply, "Xingyang Garrison, you really want to rebel!"

Qi Jingmin sneered twice and did not answer. Instead, he shouted at all the officials in the hall: "Tonight, those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish!"

Next to the neck, the dagger was slowly moved away, and in the hall, Qi Changting also slowly raised his hands.

The boy was still holding the folding fan in his left hand. At this moment, two silver lights shot from the corner of the corridor on the second floor and from the end of the fan of the boy suddenly collided in the hall.

The harsh sound of gold and iron intersecting was followed by the sound of an iron blade being nailed into wood and a man's scream.

The assassin dressed in black smashed into the hall on the first floor from the corner of the second floor, startling the officials to cry.

Qi Jingmin's face changed drastically, "You!"

When did Qi Changting have such abilities!

However, Qi Changting didn't give him a chance to speak again, and another short blade flew straight at Qi Jingmin's eyebrows.

Qi Jingmin's pupils shrank sharply.

He wants to kill him!

How dare he kill him!

Isn't he afraid of dozens of guards in the palace, and the [-] Xingyang garrison outside the palace?

Qi Jingmin didn't have time to figure this out, at the very moment, he subconsciously grabbed at his side, trying to pull someone to block him, but he forgot that beside him was Qi Yunzheng with superb martial arts.

Qi Yunzheng dodged Qi Jingmin's hand unceremoniously.

He could see clearly that Qi Changting's hidden weapon was not aimed at Qi Jingmin's vitals - if he didn't move around.

"what--"

Suddenly, a scream mixed with rage resounded throughout the banquet hall.

The officials in the hall were almost tortured to the point of neurasthenia, and they all crouched on the ground in fright from the howling.

On the high platform, the next emperor in the Dahui court system, the current eldest prince, covered his right ear and bowed down.

Stains of blood slid down his wrist and forearm.

"My ears!" Qi Jingmin's face was distorted in pain, "The imperial physician, where is the imperial physician!"

However, the imperial hospital is still in the palace city of the eastern capital, guarding the sick emperor, how did he know that someone in the palace called him?

Qi Jingmin finally realized this, and at the same time, he also realized something even more terrifying.

——Those with physical disabilities cannot inherit the ancestral system!

He may not be able to succeed!

"Qi Changting!" Qi Jingmin was furious, "Kill him!"

Dozens of guards in fine armor in the hall rushed towards Qi Changting like tigers and wolves.

Qi Yunzheng clenched his fingers, wanting to go down to help, but he didn't know whether he should get involved in this mess.

At this moment, a low shout suddenly made his head empty.

"Aqiao is hiding behind me!" The young man dressed as a personal guard stood back to back with He Cheng, keeping Qi Changting and Bai Qiao firmly in the middle.

Qi Yunzheng: "...?!"

Bai Xiao? !Why is he here!

Qi Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, and dozens of spears/spears had already been unleashed.

Bai Xiao knows martial arts, and can parry one or two guards, but the current situation is that ten or twenty people are trying to find a breakthrough from him.

Bai Xiao even heard someone shout excitedly, "This person is weak, start from here!"

The young man raised his long sword and scabbard high to block the four spears that fell at the same time, but two spears stabbed straight at his lower abdomen.

"Brother!" Bai Qiao exclaimed.

At this moment, a slender Mo Dao suddenly plunged in obliquely, and the young man in red flew forward and stepped on the four spears. The huge weight pressed Bai Xiao down to the ground, narrowly avoiding it. The two gun tips that were stabbed.

The slender blade of Mo Dao drew a bright red arc in the air, and blood spattered everywhere.

Bai Xiaoji sat on the ground with his head up, staring blankly at the familiar figure that descended from the sky in front of him, feeling like he was dreaming.

What the hell...

She, how could she be here...

This, isn't this a palace banquet?

Bai Xiao was born and bred in the ancient times, and his awe of the royal family is deep in his bones. When Bai Qiao entered the banquet hall, he dared to look around, but he always followed Qi Changting's shadow, not paying attention to who was on the high platform.

That's right, he didn't recognize it for a while, wasn't the voice that spoke just now was her?

It's just a little different from before him, no longer cruel, but calm and convincing.

But, she is also the prince? !

Moreover, when the second prince? !

The word "also" is wonderful, Bai Xiao was so enraged by this incredible news that he forgot to move for a moment.

Could it be that he and Bai Qiao did something extraordinary in their previous lives, so that they fell into the prince's nest in this life? !

Qi Yunzheng blocked the spear/spear for him again, and finally couldn't help stabbing the handle of the knife back hard.

"If you don't want to live, let me die far away!"

Bai Xiao was hit on the chest by the handle of the knife, and he came back to his senses under the excruciating pain.

He hastily picked up the long sword, and was about to meet the tip of the next spear when Zhongguan's sharp voice suddenly came from outside the banquet hall.

"His Majesty has a decree—"

"The second prince received the order—"

The Zhongguan's voice was so penetrating that even the sound of swords and swords in the banquet hall couldn't cover it up.

Even the movements of the guards' hands paused for a moment.

Lieutenant?Your Majesty has a purpose?

What's the situation, are they at the scene of treason now, aren't they?

The only thing related to the current emperor that should appear in a treason scene should be a corpse...

There was an eerie silence in the chaotic banquet hall.

His eyes focused on Qi Jingmin for a moment, didn't it mean that there were two thousand troops stationed in Xingyang outside?How did the emperor's will come in?

I can't, it's the will of the throne...

Thinking of this, everyone's heart shuddered suddenly, and they looked at the second prince in unison.

It is the second prince who will receive the order!

Qi Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Qi Changting, apparently thinking it was his trick.

But Qi Changting also frowned slightly, and shook his head imperceptibly.

The emperor in the palace should have been controlled by the Queen's party, that's why Qi Jingmin dared to be so unscrupulous, and Qi Jingmin dispatched the Xingyang [-] garrisons to solve it, but he didn't know where it came from.

Outside the door, the Zhongguan waited for a long time for no movement, and shouted loudly again: "The second prince accepts the order—"

Qi Yunzheng pursed his lips slightly, looked at a guard who was still in a stalemate with him, and said a little strangely: "I want to accept the order, do you want to stop it?"

The situation right now is a bit weird.

The guard was stunned, and turned to look at his master, but Qi Jingmin covered his ears and his eyes were scarlet, obviously not looking like he wanted to let him go.

Can……

The guard couldn't help beating his heart, he was not stupid, he also knew that his biggest support was the [-] garrisons outside, but right now, there was obviously nothing wrong with the [-] garrisons.

This so-called coercion tonight is like a joke.

The strength in his hand couldn't help but loosen, and then he slowly moved away from the spear.

One person's movement was like a switch, and the remaining nearly twenty guards in the arena hesitated to stop.

Qi Yunzheng walked out in such a swaggering way, and did not forget to close the door with his backhand after going out, blocking the mess in the hall.

——Although it is just meaning.

But outside the door, with the sound of the Zhongguan's announcement, the people inside were all shocked.

"East Turkic and Western Turkic forces jointly invaded, Western Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang were in emergency at the same time, Cheng Engong was plotted against by Eastern Turkic Khan, and was seriously injured. The second prince is now ordered to lead the troops to the northern Xinjiang to deploy the defense immediately. There must be no mistakes. !"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then there was a commotion.

"East Turkic and Western Turkic have always been at odds, why did they suddenly invade the Central Plains at the same time!" Minister of the Ministry of War turned pale, and the other ministers were even more at a loss.

No one noticed that the girl behind Qi Changting froze suddenly.

The Eastern and Western Turks invaded Dahui at the same time. This is written in the book, but the reason given at the time was that Dahui was severely damaged by the flood in Huainan, and the famine continued. They took advantage of the lack of food and grass in Dahui’s logistics to invade. .

But now the consequences caused by Ling Xun are not so serious, why is it still here!

"This year, the snowstorm in the north is severe. The Turkic people lack clothing and food. Countless cattle and sheep froze to death. I'm afraid that's why they mobilized their troops." The young man's voice rang in his ear, timely resolving Baiqiao's confusion.

Bai Qiao subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the boy's profile.

Maybe it's a coincidence, or it's really a tacit understanding. After so long, they are familiar with each other's every move, every frown and frown.

He's fine, or at least pretends to be.

If he can keep pretending, then she will stop knocking on the not very reliable cp.

But he happened to be the villain, the one who would be killed by the author.

The ending cannot be changed, just like this Turkic invasion, even if there is no flood disaster, the world in this book will still find other motives to lead everything to the final ending.

The male protagonist will be the emperor, the female protagonist will be the queen, and the young man in front of him will be overwhelmed by hatred and die tragically on that snowy night.

Hot blood stained the pale snow red.

It's fine if she doesn't know, but she does.

Is she going to die with him?

Their relationship is not that close.

Bai Qiao glanced past the side face of the young man looking outside the door, then turned his head to look at Qi Jingmin in the hall, his pupils shrank suddenly!

"Get out of the way!" She violently pushed the boy beside her away.

The crossbow on Qi Jingmin's wrist suddenly shot out a cold silver light.

Qi Changting was caught off guard and staggered, and when he suddenly looked back, his heartbeat almost stopped.

"Aqiao!" He reached out suddenly, intending to stop the white blade with his bare hands.

However, the center of gravity had been pushed away by the girl, he tried his best, but his arm just barely brushed against the shaft of the arrow.

The young man's eyes were about to crack, his breathing was stagnant, and a black shadow suddenly flashed beside him.

laugh.

The sound of iron blades piercing flesh is no different from the sound of wooden stakes being driven into snow.

Just the former, with bright red flowers blooming.

"Hmm." Bai Xiao stretched his arms wide and held the girl in his arms, with a mouthful of blood pouring out of his mouth.

The girl stiffened her neck and bowed her head, her eyes were blood red from the arrow piercing into the young man's back through the thin armor.

"...Brother, brother!"

Her teeth were chattering, and the next moment, the young man fell on her body powerlessly.

"elder brother!"

The author has something to say:

Qi Changting: Thanks to my wife for saving me.

Bai Xiao: Get out of the way, it's my turn, madam, come and save me!
