"Ah!"

The girl who was counting the books for the last time suddenly sneezed and almost threw the pen in her hand.

"Aqiao? Are you okay?" Bai Xiao looked up at her from the side, "It's a little cold in the north. After this matter is over, why don't we go back first?"

Bai Qiao rubbed his nose and waved his hands, "It's okay, the East is not necessarily much safer than the North, and we can adapt to the situation here."

As she spoke, the girl glanced across the young man's face indistinctly, her heart sinking slightly.

It has been a month, and even with medication, the young man's complexion is still visible to the naked eye, and his jaw is more prominent, which is a sign that the toxicity has begun to consume the body.

According to the poison master next to Qi Yunzheng, if Bai Xiao still can't get two Capricornus scorpions in another month, he will be completely poisoned and his life will be in danger.

Right now, Qi Yunzheng and Qi Changting are helping to find her. She has been staying in Beidi and will not go back, so she thinks that once there is news, she can take medicine directly and don't have to wait for the journey from the frontier to the eastern capital.

In fact, Bai Xiao also knew the reason, sighed, and finally did not say those high-sounding words.

They are brothers and sisters, so there is no need to talk about that.

But Bai Qiao, thinking of this, suddenly gave his elder brother a suspicious look.

In fact, it was beyond her expectation that Qi Changting would agree to help, let's just say that he felt guilty that Bai Xiao and she went to the banquet because of him.

But why, even the dignified Second Highness agreed to help Bai Xiao pay attention to Dongjie Scorpio?

And it was the same in the banquet hall at that time, he was the emperor's son after all, and he actually helped his third brother's personal guard to heal his wounds.

No matter how you think about it, it's not normal.

The girl frowned slightly.

Could it be that because they were all hurt by Qi Jingmin, they felt sorry for each other?

still is……

"Is there something on my face?" The young man is a martial artist, how could he not notice the gaze on the other side.

Bai Qiao turned her head away calmly, stroking the folding fan Qi Changting gave her with her fingers.

After a long while, he said crisply: "It's nothing! Brother, just stay at ease."

What's more, apart from Bai Xiao, she has other doubts.

That fellow Qi Changting, since he sent her a letter saying everything was fine a month ago, he has never sent another letter.

Didn't he say that he was near the Xifu army barracks, so it was safe?

In such a severe situation before, everyone knew to report that they were safe, but now that the situation has improved, there has been no news?

A faint uneasiness clouded the girl's heart, and she wanted to ask He Cheng, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.

While she was struggling, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Before Baiqiao could open the door, He Cheng's joyful voice came in:

"Miss Bai, I found it, I found the whereabouts of a Capricornus and Scorpion!"

squeak--

The ear-piercing sound of the chair scraping across the ground was accompanied by the girl's surprise: "Really?!"

Bai Qiao hadn't shown such a lively expression for a long time, she turned to Bai Xiao, originally wanting to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, his eye sockets and nose suddenly started to feel sour.

The girl raised her hand to wipe her eyes, turned around and raised her head, not daring to look again.

The corner of Bai Xiao's lips couldn't help a smile, first handed a tissue to Bai Qiao, then turned around and gave He Cheng a deep salute.

Out of politeness, he didn't look at He Cheng's expression, and he naturally missed the flickering disappointment in the guard's eyes when he looked at Baiqiao.

He Cheng respected Bai Qiao from the bottom of his heart, and was very happy to get the news.

But now seeing Miss Bai weeping with joy, he couldn't help but think of his Highness who was still far away in the hinterland of Western Turks feeding a tiger with his body.

In order to save Miss Bai, His Highness was also poisoned by that southern border poison.

Although the symptoms are much milder than Bai Xiao's, and there are still four or five months to go, but...

His Highness insisted on keeping the truth from Miss Bai, but if one day, Miss Bai found out.

Will he feel sorry for his Highness as much as his brother?

He Cheng didn't know.

He pursed his lower lip, put the secret letter in his hand on the table, and left quietly.

Baiqiao couldn't stop crying for a while, and he didn't want to lose face in front of his brother, so he drove him to open the letter and read it to her.

Just listen, the girl's tears stopped, because not all the good news in the letter.

——Although the scorpion has been found, it is not easy to get it.

The Capricornus scorpion that Qi Yunzheng found was made by a poison master in Northern Turkic for nearly five years. It was made a few days ago, and it is said to be of high quality.

But when Qi Yunzheng sent someone to contact that person in secret, he learned that the other person had set off for a mission to the Western Turks yesterday, and counting the time it took for the letter to be sent from the Beifu army to the inn where they stayed at Baiqiao, it might be almost here by then.

It turned out that the Poison Master was a close friend of the Northern Turkic Khan, because the Western Turkic always shied away from Lian Heng's proposal to attack the Dahui border these days, so he planned to find out for himself and see what the Western Turkic meant.

Qi Yunzheng felt that it was not easy to scare the snake, so he wanted to wait for the man to come back before making any plans. Anyway, he already had a whereabouts, and even if he managed to escape, the monk would not be able to escape from the temple.

Although Bai Qiao was impatient, he also knew the truth of the opposite, so he nodded to express his understanding.

Interrupted by the matter of Capricornus and Scorpio, the girl's thoughts drifted to this.

The original doubts about Qi Changting's never reporting safety were suppressed for the time being.

However, she soon knew that there were some things she had forgotten, and sooner or later, she would hit her in a more tragic way.

Another five days later, Baiqiao got up in the morning and went for a walk in the yard on a whim, when he ran into He Cheng who was talking to the old farmer in charge of delivering vegetables to their yard at the inn.

This old farmer is also one of Qi Changting's secret guards. Since they lived in this courtyard, the old farmer has been in charge of secret external communication.

Bai Qiao glanced there, and the doubts about Qi Changting flooded up in his mind again.

For a moment, she actually wanted to go over to eavesdrop, after all, she couldn't bear to ask about Qi Changting's situation.

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

It's not because of how noble the conscience is, it's just because they communicate with a special scroll, and she can't eavesdrop even if she wants to.

The girl walked away regretfully.

However, at this moment, the old farmer's trembling voice suddenly drifted into her ears faintly.

"Something has happened," the old farmer tried his best to keep his voice steady, but his voice was still trembling. "I dare not write it on paper, for fear that someone will cut it off."

After these words, the courtyard was silent for a moment, as if the man took a deep breath.

Bai Qiao couldn't help but hold his breath, stopped involuntarily, and quietly pricked up his ears.

In the next moment, an extremely light but thunderous news split the clear sky.

"His Highness has been exposed."

"I was captured by the Turks!"

On the grassland, a gust of strong wind created ripples on the surface of Lake Lausanne.

"Zheng!" A rough voice suddenly came from behind.

Qi Changting turned his head from afar and saw Khan's personal guards waving at him.

The young man raised his arms in response, and began to walk in the direction of Wang Zhang.

He saw that there seemed to be someone behind the personal guard outside the king's tent, waiting for Khan to receive him.

Qi Changting squinted his eyes and looked, suddenly feeling uneasy for some reason.

When he got closer, he saw that the small group of people were all wearing pure black cloaks with the brim of their hats pulled down, and a gray cloth draped over their backs.

And it was this gray cloth that brought back some bad memories of the boy.

Nearly eight years ago, Qi Yunzheng and Bai Xiaochu met in the rebellion in Mobei, and he was actually involved in it.

What he told the Khan a month ago was not a lie. At that time, his elder brother and mother concubine passed away one after another, and his grandfather was bullied to the point where he almost lost his place in the east. His heart was ashamed, and he came to Mobei by chance.

It was also at that time that Xiao Wu, who later became one of his hidden guards, was rescued from the Turks.

At that time, Xiao Wu and his elder brother were being pressed by masked Turks to ask about Qi Yunzheng's whereabouts.

The person next to Qi Changting didn't remember it, but he remembered that the man also had a gray cloth on his shoulders.

I don't know what the elder brother said, but suddenly the Turkic grinned and opened the young man's mouth, took something out of the hole and poured it into it.

Qi Changting didn't know what it was, but he soon knew it was a poison.

The young man rolled on the ground in pain, his forehead was covered with blue veins, and after half a cup of tea, black blood gushed out from his mouth along with pieces of internal organs, and he swallowed his breath completely.

So Qi Changting knew that Huibukanzi was the symbol of the Turkic Poison Master.

The poison master killed his elder brother, then turned to Xiao Wu who was still young at the time.

The little boy looked at his brother's body, his gaze was initially shocked and terrified, and then filled with deep hatred.

Called Qi Changting's deja vu hatred.

Xiao Wu shook his hands and pulled out the broken blade at his waist, and when he was about to pounce on him desperately, Qi Changting made a move.

The youth's immature hidden weapon at that time directly cut off one hand of the Turkic poison master.

It's a pity that the poison master used many methods, but finally escaped from his hands.

Another gust of early spring cold wind blowing from the lake brushed his cheeks, blowing back Qi Changting's thoughts.

After the memory was over, he also walked up to Wang Zhang.

Poison Master and his party have already entered.

The young man deftly looked at the guard beside him with innocent and confused eyes, wondering why Khan called him back again.

However, for the first time, this elder brother Wei who was obviously very talkative did not follow his example, and just signaled him to go in first with his eyes.

Qi Changting's hand on the tent door paused for a moment, with a smile on his face, but he took a step back abruptly.

Almost at the same time, a noose made of iron chains flew out of the tent.

The lasso missed a hit, and more than ten guards like iron towers appeared behind the king's tent, and surrounded the boy's place.

Qi Changting's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Khan's personal guards beside him with surprise and anger.

But he saw that the other party also pulled out the saber from his waist, and charged at him with the sword.

The curtain of the king's tent was slowly opened.

Khan, who had smiled kindly at him a month ago, paced out, followed by the poison master who still covered his face in black robe.

And along with the footsteps of these two people, there were some strange sounds.

The young man stared intently, and then his pupils suddenly constricted.

From the sleeve of the poison master's right hand, a long iron chain was pulled out, which was probably the noose.

But the poison master raised his hand again, and when he pulled the iron chain, the sleeve robe fell down, revealing a bare forearm and the iron chain connected to the bones.

This poison master has no right hand!

"Do it!" Khan's personal guard gave an order, and more than a dozen guards swarmed forward with matsuo in their hands.

But until those people rushed forward, the boy remained motionless.

Scared like a fool.

Only Poison Master, who was always looking at the young man's smirk, caught a glimpse of those dark and indifferent eyes and a hint of sarcasm inside.

He hid in the ridge, subconsciously clenched his trump card with his intact left hand.

The lasso was danced vigorously by the strong men, but when it reached the boy's feet, it turned into a ladder.

The young man was as light as a swallow, with his toes on the rope, he twisted suddenly, pulled over one of the guards, and then stepped on the man's shoulder and rushed towards the eldest prince in front of the tent.

There was a sneer on the corner of his lips.

Anyway, the purpose of delaying time has been achieved, since there is no way to leave quietly, let's make a big fuss.

These people haven't been able to stop him yet!

But just when the dagger in the boy's hand was about to cut the side of the prince's neck, something familiar suddenly broke into him from the corner of his eye.

The poison master suddenly took out a hooked object from the kanzi.

The boy's movements stopped abruptly.

That is, Sagittarius and Scorpio!

That night, the image of the girl holding Bai Xiao crying and crying suddenly came into my mind.

The boy was caught in breath.

No, he wants the scorpion!

His figure froze suddenly, and finally a rope caught up behind him.

"Caught it! Caught the spy!"

The chaotic shouts resounded in the ears, and the guards who rushed forward blocked the sight. The boy was pressed to the ground, and his throat moved slightly.

Aqiao, wait for me to come back.
