A large group of people came from afar, shaking the earth and heaven faintly.Because they were located on a higher ground around them, she couldn't see the traces of the crowd yet.

It must be Yan Xin's person!They are finally here!Shen Qiaohuan's mood that had just sunk into a trough suddenly soared and became more relaxed.

However, it took only a moment for this joy to arise, and Shen Qiaohuan suddenly noticed something unusual.

No, the person who came was not Yan Xin!

These people advanced very fast, and the number of them was beyond imagination. They were like an army, and they were definitely not a force that Yan Xin could control.Just now he could only faintly hear some sounds, but now he could clearly feel the tremors of the ground he was in.And she could already tell that these people didn't come from one side, but surrounded them from all directions, as if they were going to trap them in a cage.

Such mobilization of teachers and crowds must be due to bad intentions, trying to put them to death!

If it wasn't Yan Xin who came, who could it be?How could this person know their plan of action this time?Except for Yan Xin, she didn't reveal it to anyone!

She refused to think about the greatest possibility.This plan is interlocking and there are many insiders. No matter what happens in any link, it may lead to the leakage of secrets and ambushes.In short, the most urgent task is not to get entangled in this, but—

escape!

"There has been an ambush here! Chen Xian, let out the signal flares and notify our troops to come as soon as possible. Before the encirclement has narrowed, take half of the people to hide and break out to the west; Lei Ming, take the other half to the south. Break out from the encirclement; I will go to the north alone! Hurry up!"

As her thoughts flowed rapidly, everyone noticed the sudden change in the situation, and the situation became extremely critical in an instant, and they immediately ran away according to her order.

The only way out now is to gamble.She vaguely guessed who the person behind the scenes was, which actually gave her a little confidence to fight with her life.That person was of high status, and he was able to control so many people. He must have come in person. The so-called capturing the thief first captured the king. Shen Qiaohuan couldn't see where the person was. She made a choice in one direction, and tried her best to hold that person hostage in order to gain a chance of survival—at this point, it was almost impossible for her to get out of her body, and she only wanted to reduce casualties.She heard that there seemed to be more people in the north, so she guessed that the person's approximate location should be there.

The rest of the people had already taken their orders to leave, and there was only one person who refused to leave Shen Qiaohuan.

That person was Zhao Ya who had been sticking to Shen Qiaohuan's side from the beginning to the end.

"Little Joe, I want to go with you!"

"Xiaoya, be obedient!" Shen Qiaohuan couldn't help frowning when she saw this stubborn childhood sweetheart who was pulling her sleeves, and her tone intensified unconsciously at the critical moment, "I have my own plan, follow them quickly, this is an order!"

"I don't give orders, I'm not them! Xiaoya's only mission is to protect Xiao Qiao, and I will go wherever Xiao Qiao goes! If you want to go, go together, if you want to escape, run away together!"

Shen Qiaohuan was about to explode when she heard a cold male voice not far behind her:

"Hahahaha, what a 'run away together'! I tell you, with the thousand Royal Forest Army my father ambushed here, none of you rebels can escape!"

Shen Qiaohuan suddenly turned her head to the north, and two men came out from the support of the army on horseback. The young man at the head was the third prince Qi Heng who had just spoken out.From her perspective, the other man happened to be blocked by Qi Heng, and only the yellow robe he was wearing could be seen.

In a blink of an eye, the roads in all directions have been blocked by the crowd; looking around, these soldiers in rubber armor and equipped with sharp swords have surrounded them tightly, and they are surrounded by darkness, as if they are rolling over their heads. The sky is full of dark clouds that want to destroy the city.The two men she had sent to the southwest to break out of the encirclement had retreated behind her and shook their heads slightly at her.

"There are too many people gathered from all directions, and there is no gap at all," Chen Xian loosened and tightened his fists at the side, and looked around the man in yellow who stopped not far away, with endless sadness in his throat, He murmured, "Qiyu, it's finally your move that surpasses you."

Shen Qiaohuan's brain was still running fast and she was looking for a way to have more enemies with fewer enemies. Hearing Chen Xian's words, he was as silent as everyone else.

1000 people is really too many.

There were 20 of them, surrounded by a thousand well-trained and well-equipped soldiers.It was as if a monster with bloody eyes had opened its big black mouth, just waiting to swallow them and turn them into dross.

Among the thousands of elite soldiers, there were cavalry and bows. The cavalry galloped ahead and quickly advanced to narrow the encirclement to trap them. The archers followed behind, drawing full bows one by one. , Waiting for an order, they can be shot to death with random arrows.

I don't know what it's like to be pierced by hundreds of arrows at the same time.

The so-called besieged on all sides, the so-called isolated and helpless.

They were all soldiers who had been baptized in blood on the battlefield, and the killing intent in those thousand pairs of eyes was so undisguised, shooting directly at them, as if they wanted to tear them alive.

Even if the 200 people behind them came to the rebel army, it was just a drop in the bucket, and the deaths would only increase.

Anyway, Shen Qiaohuan didn't feel nervous even after she died.She turned around calmly and faced the north, looking at the person who came, her eyes were full of magnanimity.

The third prince, Qi Heng, has never been as excited as he is now in his life.When he was full of irritability and anxiety because of the matter of Yujian Villa and Diu Yanxin, he received a personal edict from his father asking him to bring troops here to wipe out the rebellious party!Not only did his father give him the opportunity to accompany him on the expedition, but he also entrusted someone to hand him the tiger talisman of the Imperial Forest Army... How could he not understand the meaning of such an obvious hint?He could hardly wait to put on the dragon robe and sit on the long-coveted throne!

Isn't it as simple as crushing an ant to death with only 1000 of my 20 elite soldiers?Qi Heng, who was full of excitement and just wanted to make a quick decision, was about to wave his hand and give orders. He glanced at Shen Qiaohuan in the center, thinking that this girl looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that this was the day of the riding and archery meeting, with his ninth younger sister. the maid?

Qi Heng's bloodshot eyes suddenly showed a more terrifying light, he turned his head and cupped his fists and said to the man in yellow beside him:

"Father, I found out that the woman in yellow at the center of the rebellious party is the personal maid of the ninth younger sister. I have seen this person at the riding and archery meeting, and found that the two are almost inseparable. It is really sisterly love. Today, I found out that this person was conspiring against the rebel party. I am not disregarding brotherhood, but rebellion is not a child's play. I am worried whether the ninth younger sister is someone who knows? Why don't my father agree with my son to send someone to investigate thoroughly! "

Qi Heng's enthusiasm was extinguished by the light "no need" from the man in yellow.

"Heng'er, don't be suspicious of Xin'er with such malice." The man in yellow rode his horse forward slowly from behind Qi Heng, his voice was vigorous and full of energy, but he didn't look like he was rumored to be seriously ill and died soon.

Perhaps, that was false news deliberately released by the suspicious emperor.

For the first time, Shen Qiaohuan took a good look at this great founding emperor who was recorded in the history of Daqi.

This so-called Mingjun ascended to the throne by stepping on the corpses of her biological parents and hundreds of clan members.

Holding the reins in his hand, he rode on the horse, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe to show that he was the supreme emperor, looking down on Shen Qiaohuan and the others from afar.Even though most of his hair had turned gray and his face was no longer young, those eyes that seemed to see through everything still showed the noble status of this person above ten thousand people.

Qi Yu's gaze swept over Qi Heng as if there was weight, then over Shen Qiaohuan, and finally withdrew his gaze, and continued with a slightly accentuated tone:

"Thanks to Xin'er, I was able to know their plans in advance. Just stay here, and wait for them to throw themselves into the trap and wipe them out in one fell swoop. You just step aside, I have something to say to my old friend."

Qi Yu's words seemed to be speaking to Qi Heng, but the voice was just loud enough for Shen Qiaohuan to hear clearly.

Thanks to Xin'er, I was able to know their plans in advance...

Thanks to Xiner...

Xiner...

Qi Yu's just words kept echoing in his mind, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shaking Shen Qiaohuan as if all internal organs were damaged and all internal strength was lost.

Qi Yu seemed very satisfied with Shen Qiaohuan's reaction, raised his gray eyebrows, but looked at Chen Xian who was beside Shen Qiaohuan who was silent with his head down, and said:

"You really didn't die. It seems that ten years ago, I followed your path. Unexpectedly, after 26 years, Chen Xian, you are still the same skin."

Chen Xian raised his head and looked at the person who came and smiled slightly: "My Miaojiang bloodline is the most respected in the world, and the appearance of my people is excellent, and they will not age with time. I never thought, Qiyu, you are so old. "

Qi Yu sneered:

"What is the most respected in the world? It's just a group of monsters. It is irresistible to look old, and I accept it with pleasure. Your monster clan doesn't look old, but how many of you have lived past fifty?"

"If you hadn't chased and killed them wantonly, they wouldn't have died!"

"The monster race is born with different pupils, the blood is highly poisonous and the demon law is rampant, everyone should be punished!" Qi Yu said, the disdain on his face became more and more obvious, "If you don't die, your descendants will be buried in the descendants In the hands of the emperor, I just announced your death in advance. If you want to blame, blame your saint who married the former thief and became the queen! If she is not the queen of Ji Kang, I am afraid I can keep you alive some time."

"Needless to say. Now you are a knife and I am a fish, and if you want to kill it, you will have a good time." Chen Xian didn't want to listen to this person's old story again, and he didn't want to hear any words about Ji Kang—every word, every word, It cut his heart like a knife, reminding him that the 26-year revenge failed.

Qi Yu reined in the reins, laughed and said:

"I won't necessarily let you die happily, but I will definitely let you die knowingly. You know, the one who revealed to me all about your monster clan's rebellion is the saint whom you miss so much and dare not disobey!"

These words pointed the finger at Shen Qiaohuan.Shen Qiaohuan believed that although she leaked the secret to Yan Xin, she only wanted to stop the bloodshed, and she definitely did not seek death to inform the emperor.All around looked at her with different emotions, Shen Qiaohuan only felt that the old man in yellow robe in front of him was extremely disgusting, and retorted loudly:

"Emperor Dog, why did I tell you? I only left a book for Yan Xin, and you must have stolen it to read it! It's really shameless, so shameless!"

Although she said the words, Shen Qiaohuan was extremely self-doubt in her heart.Yan Xin's temperament is calm and worry-free, and she will definitely not let others steal such a life-threatening thing.She can also be sure that as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival morning when Yan Xin regained her vision, Yan Xin's people had already found them and protected them, and there was no possibility of the letter being snatched...

The only and most likely guess is that Yan Xin got the letter and handed it over to the emperor.

But how could she believe that?It was so cold that even thinking about it made her feel like her heart was being torn apart again. If it was true, how would she face it?This world is so cruel to her. She thought that she could start a new life in a new world by traveling once, and she could have a warm family, beautiful love, and a smooth life, but she never expected that she had already entered the world from the moment she traveled The chess game set up by others has been calculated, suspected, and concealed from the beginning to the end, and the only love that still has a sliver of warmth, the only woman she has imagined spending her whole life hand in hand with the countryside, will it also be severely torn in the end? , Disappeared?Are all these sweet or warm pasts just another thrilling drama?

"However, Xiner handed it over to me," Qi Yu sneered, "I have long since found out that Leimen is the hiding place of your monster clan, so I have guessed [-]% of your identity. Then why do you think I let you go?" Wanting Xin'er to approach you? Xin'er has always listened to my words since she was a child. In order to draw out all your previous desires, I knew that you had an old relationship, so I made her approach you intentionally. Don't you really think that Xin'er is right? Are you moved by the truth? The young girl of the demon clan should not think too highly of herself and be affectionate! My daughter, is it something you and other monsters can covet? I said that whenever someone kills, I must let that person die clearly. I have let you know about this scene, so you can go to the underworld with your monster brothers and sisters at ease!"

The more Qi Yu said, the more Shen Qiaohuan calmed down strangely.

Whether it is true or not is not so important to her.Even though all the warmth and beauty she has been given in this life are illusions, at least she lives happily most of the time.

The world is impermanent and cold, didn't she know it in the previous life?

She turned her head and looked behind her. The emperor's words made everyone's faces change again and again, only Xiaoya looked at her with a worried face:

"Little Qiao, Grandpa Emperor is a bad person, don't believe what he said! Your face is so pale... Are you okay..."

Zhao Ya's eyes were still clear, as if hatred had not polluted the purity of her heart.Maybe it's not bad to live like this with a few tendons. Right is right and wrong is wrong. If you meet someone you like, you will be nice to him, and if you meet someone you hate, you will never communicate with each other.Being teased by fate, Xiaoya was much simpler than she thought.

"I'm fine, Xiaoya." Shen Qiaohuan smiled gratefully at her, turned her head to meet Chen Xian's eyes that were as still as still water, and said softly:

"sorry."

Chen Xian shook his head with a smile on the other hand. His fair face, which has not left many traces of time, vaguely still looks like the father who spoiled her ten years ago:

"I deceived you first. I am not a qualified adoptive father. You don't have to apologize to me. Saint... No, Xiao Qiao, no matter what you do, we will not blame you."

Yeah, no one is to blame.These people, Chen Xian, Yan Xin, Qi Heng and even the emperor, no matter who they were, from his standpoint, they just did what was right for him.

The rain started pattering down.A drop fell on the corner of Shen Qiaohuan's eye, and slowly slid down her cheek like a teardrop.

She smiled, facing the direction of the visitor, with a soft tone that seemed to be whispering to herself:

"Chen Xian, my identity as a saint orders you to promise me one thing..."

Shen Qiaohuan's voice was too low, Chen Xian tilted his head, he was stunned for a moment before realizing what the other party said, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

At the same time, Qi Heng, who had retreated to the side and hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke in a dark voice like a call from hell:

"Your last words, but finished? Then let Gu, come and finish you! The Royal Forest Army obeys the order—"

"--kill!"

******

"Zheng!"

All six strings snapped!

The tingling came from the fingertips.Yan Xin raised her hand and saw that a bright red quickly spread from the small crack and condensed into drops, which then fell to the ground.

His right hand was trembling slightly.

The ominous premonition in my heart grew bigger and bigger.

what is itWhat is the uneasiness that has been lingering in her heart since she woke up today? In the past 22 years, her heart has never been so flustered, as if she is about to lose something extremely important in her life, which makes her restless and has a splitting headache.Originally, she thought that playing the qin would relieve her a little, but unexpectedly all six strings broke, which added to her gloomy mood.

But what exactly went wrong?The eyeliner she planted near Leimen told her that everything was normal; Gu Ning received the imperial decree and was finally able to bring Yang Huan down; Proclaiming the emperor and building momentum... In order to actually gain power before Shen Qiaohuan took any action, she had no choice but to put the plan of forcing the palace to usurp the throne on the agenda.Once the royal father abdicates and all the military power will be handed over to her, Xiao Qiao's situation will be safer - only in this way is the best way to avoid bloodshed on both sides.

only……

She has not solved the mystery of the letter that Xiao Qiao left her.

After parting last night, she returned to the inn as Xiao Qiao said, and indeed found the letter she had left behind.But the letter inside the envelope was a blank sheet of paper.She knew that Xiao Qiao was good at using medicine, so she guessed whether the other party was afraid of the secret being leaked and used some special medicine to write it. She tried various methods in just one night, but the paper was still blank.

Her people had discovered their traces as early as yesterday morning, so when they sent people to follow, they also left a few people at the inn to guard, and there was no possibility that the letter would be stolen by someone with a heart.

Most of her subordinates came from a miserable life experience when they were young, and they were taken in by her and gradually cultivated.Yan Xin had [-]% confidence in their loyalty.

Could it be that she hasn't found the right way to crack it yet?

While thinking about it, someone approached and handed her a veil coated with wound medicine:

"Princess, please use this to stop the bleeding."

The person who came was dressed in blue, his face was white and beardless, and his voice was indistinguishable.

It was He Quan.

"I'm interested." Yan Xin stood up, took the handkerchief, wrapped her fingers, and nodded towards He Quan.

"It's my subordinate's blessing to be able to relieve the princess's worries." He Quan still kept his eyebrows down and spoke softly, "Princess, it's time for dinner."

The Princess Mansion is twice as big as the other courtyards, so it will take some time to walk from the pavilion to the main hall.

He Quan raised his umbrella and slowly followed behind Yan Xin.Yan Xin glanced at He Quan in the last moment of his life, suddenly he had a thought, and said:

"He Quan, you have always been loyal to this palace, and you have never had any second thoughts. However, in the past few months, this palace has assigned you to a border city and fiefdom. Do you blame this palace for being unkind?"

He Quandao:

"What did the princess say? My parents died when I was young. When I was eight years old, I was murdered by my uncle and sent to the palace. I almost died in someone's intentional frame. Thanks to the princess who rescued me and took me in, my subordinate was able to survive." To this day, the rest of my subordinates only want to repay their kindness, how can they harbor resentment towards the princess?"

"It's so good," Yan Xin's tone seemed relieved, she raised her eyebrows but changed the subject, "If you don't blame me, then you blame Xiao Qiao?"

He Quan gave a "thud" in his heart, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "This subordinate dare not."

"Then why did you dare to drop that letter?" Yan Xin just had a thought, thinking that it would be too coincidental for He Quan to return that day, so he came up with this guess.However, He Quan didn't deny it but knelt down straight behind him, but it made her furious. Thinking that Shen Qiaohuan was probably in danger at this time, her eyes turned black and she felt a mouthful of sweetness in her throat, and said angrily:

"You actually did this?! He Quan, He Quan...you are really good! Tell me quickly, where did you put that letter at this time!"

He Quan knelt down and kowtowed, lowering his eyes and said forcefully: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly! That woman is a former imperial evil and belongs to the demon clan. She must be the one who must be eliminated on the way for the princess to become emperor! Princess, you must never do it again!" Have a relationship with this girl!"

With a "crash", the soft sword was drawn out, and the sharp blade was already resting on He Quan's neck with a cold light.

Almost at the same moment, a woman in official uniform broke into the mansion in a panic from outside, she was panting and wet, she leaned against the door and shouted at Yan Xin:

"Princess——! The emperor and the third prince brought 1000 people to ambush at the southeast gate of the imperial city, most likely to besiege Mr. Shen! Tell Tang Mubai to bring elite soldiers. If you don't hurry up, it may be too late!"
