America's strong and miserable desire to destroy the world

Chapter 23 "They Are Ready to Elope"

The crown prince Xue Wunian is low-key by nature. The world knows that he is talented and possesses the world's most immortal sword, but few people know what his martial arts are.

But judging from the fact that the general was forced to vomit blood just now, the prince's martial arts must be among the best in today's world.

Yan Jingyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, stood up solemnly and stood in front of Wen Qiusheng. He knew that he was not the prince's opponent, but he had no intention of giving in at all.

"His Royal Highness, please think twice before acting. The current situation is not caused by the Queen. Even if His Highness forces the Queen to prove her innocence, Your Majesty will not believe it."

He had just been forced to retreat by Xue Wunian's move, and he hadn't heard what Xue Wunian said to Wen Qiusheng, so he thought that the prince came this time to harm Wen Qiusheng.

Seeing that he was protecting Wen Qiusheng, Xue Wunian relaxed, "Gu won't hurt him, Gu just wants to take him away, General get out of the way."

Take the queen away?

Yan Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, "But you are the Crown Prince of Great Yan..." How could you just leave like this?

However, Xue Wunian's eyebrows turned cold in an instant, and the blade came out straight, "Get out of the way."

Yan Jingyuan frowned, standing between Xue Wunian and Wen Qiusheng like a door god.For a moment, he didn't know whether he was sticking to his position because he couldn't let the prince abandon the Great Yan Kingdom, or because he didn't want Wen Qiusheng to disappear.

The two were confronting each other, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter, and saw Wen Qiusheng standing behind Yan Jingyuan, smiling very heartily.

"It's really interesting," Wen Qiusheng put his hand on Yan Jingyuan's back, feeling the tenseness of the person in front of him for a moment, "I think the first time I met the general, the general yelled at me in order to protect His Royal Highness, but now But because of me, I confronted His Highness with swords."

"What a sinner I am."

He said so, but there was no guilt on his face.

"But the general needn't worry, I won't go with him."

After hearing his words, Yan Jingyuan's expression was complicated, but Xue Wunian's heart sank, "You don't have to worry about not being able to escape, I have a way to make you escape completely, and I will never put you in any danger."

He thought that Wen Qiusheng was afraid that he would not be able to escape, and that he would be captured by His Majesty in the end.

But Wen Qiusheng just looked at him quietly, with a look of pity in his eyes.

Before Xue Wunian could understand this look, he heard a sudden sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a group of imperial guards suddenly appeared on the eaves. They set up bows and arrows, and surrounded the outer wall of Tai Chi Hall tightly.

A familiar cold voice came from a distance, "It's a good one to retreat! It's a good one to be in no danger at all! Look, father, I'm not lying to you, Your Highness the Crown Prince really has thoughts about the queen!"

The third prince followed behind Xue Yan and led a large group of people into the courtyard.His eyes were full of pride and viciousness, as if he was showing the joy of a winner in front of Xue Wunian.

The important courtiers in the entire court are here, let them see what kind of dirty intentions the next Mingjun they are looking forward to has!

A group of young officials headed by Guo Ziye remained silent, while the old officials who had always supported the crown prince's ascension to the throne were heartbroken, but after all they watched the prince grow up, and they couldn't bear to give up, so they pleaded with His Majesty one after another, and let His Majesty see that the Prince was young. For the sake of impulsiveness, let him go this time.

Xue Yan looked unpredictable, but the third prince sneered first, "Young and impulsive? I think the prince has been planning for this moment for a long time. If you go to the prince's mansion, you can see how many people the prince killed to get out." !"

"The prince didn't pay attention to the imperial father's prohibition at all, and broke into the palace with the intention of taking the queen away under the obstruction of the imperial guards. How can this be summed up by a young impulsive sentence?! Even if today's incident is regarded as treason There is nothing wrong with that!"

The faces of all the ministers changed, and they all knelt down to plead for the prince.Having an affair with the queen is still a trivial matter, if he is labeled as treason, it will be even more difficult for the prince!

"Okay!" Xue Yan yelled angrily, looked at Wen Qiusheng with deep eyes, "Qiusheng, tell me."

At this point, he still wanted to hear Qiu Sheng's explanation.

Wen Qiusheng passed the general and walked towards Xue Yan, but was grabbed by the wrist when he passed by the prince.

The opponent grabbed so hard that Wen Qiusheng could barely move, only Xue Yan's angry voice was heard.The archers on the courtyard wall are ready to shoot, and they will shoot arrows at the prince as soon as His Majesty gives an order.

Xue Wunian couldn't hear any sounds around him, only Wen Qiusheng's shadow was in his eyes.

This person is not beautiful for a moment, his beauty is not only in the skin and bones, but also in his wanton and careless behavior.When he smiles, it is like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into the heart, and those who are bewitched by him will never forget it, even if they can pull it out, only an empty shell will be left.

Xue Wunian wanted to ask him, why didn't he want to go with him?

But after hearing the other party's complaint of "it hurts so much", he instinctively let go of his hand.

Wen Qiusheng looked at the prince in a trance, feeling a little surprised.Although he had calculated that the prince would come to rescue him, he did not expect that in the prince's heart, his weight would be so heavy, as if his every move affected the prince's heart and soul.

With a thought in his mind, he whispered in Xue Wunian's ear, "His Royal Highness, if you really want to do something for me, why don't you just get caught?"

With the lessons learned from the death of the imperial guards, the archers and the guards with knives were extremely vigilant, guarding against any actions of the prince.However, when their nerves were tense, they discovered that His Highness the Crown Prince had lowered his eyelids and had actually thrown the Immortal Sword aside.

He has no sharp weapon in his body, and he looks like he is going to catch him without a fight, but the imperial guards are even more vigilant.

The old ministers beside His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief, since His Highness the Crown Prince had stopped, at least the matter hadn't gotten worse.Just as they were thinking this way, they heard the third prince speak again.

"Your Majesty, I just learned the new news. It turns out that today's Crown Prince's private invasion of the palace was not his own plan, but a conspiracy with the Queen!"

As he spoke, he handed a letter to Xue Yan, "Father, look, the empress and the crown prince's affair is clearly revealed in the letter! They were ready to elope early in the morning, and they did not show your face, Father, at all. And the face of the Great Yan Kingdom is in your eyes!"

Guo Ziye's face changed suddenly when he saw the letter, it was a letter he sent to the prince under the entrustment of Wen Qiusheng, how could it be in the hands of the third prince?

Wen Qiusheng couldn't help looking at the third prince in surprise.

He and the third prince conspired together to invite the king into the urn. Now that the play is not over, is the third prince going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?It's really... wonderful.

Seeing Xue Yan accepting the letter, the third prince's face became more and more ugly, and his heart was extremely happy.What happened in Wushan, he made up his mind not to let anyone know. When Wen Qiusheng told him about the plan, he was unwilling to cooperate, but after thinking about it, this was a good opportunity to marry the prince and Wen Qiusheng. Let's eradicate together, why not do it.

He was fine when he went to Wushan, but he lost his ability to move after he came back. If Wen Qiusheng didn't do it, the third prince wouldn't believe it.

When Wen Qiusheng saw the cold and piercing eyes of the third prince, he knew that he probably knew who did the good thing when his life was gone.But what does it matter if you know?

He smiled at the third prince, and looked at him with satisfaction as his expression became even uglier.

Xue Yan finished reading the letter with a gloomy expression, "Qiu Sheng, is this letter full of your true thoughts?"

Wen Qiusheng raised his eyebrows, and said innocently in the cannibalistic eyes of the third prince, "Of course not, I just wrote to deceive His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, you locked me in the room and didn't allow me to go out, it's too boring, I Just have to have some fun.”

The third prince was stunned. He didn't expect Wen Qiusheng to be so easy to tell lies, "You! Father, don't listen to his nonsense. The empress clearly has an affair with the prince. They are secretly cheating on your face, father. I don't pay attention to you at all!"

"Your Majesty," Guo Ziye couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and said, "The empress is innocent and simple, and she rarely interacts with His Highness the Crown Prince. There must be a misunderstanding about this matter."

"What's the misunderstanding? We came one step too late, and everyone was robbed! Guo Yushi defended the queen like this, did he also have some embarrassing thoughts for the queen?!" The third prince sneered.

Seeing that Xue Yan's complexion became darker, the third prince thought that his persuasion was effective, even Xue Wunian, who was on the sidelines, looked alert, ready to protect Wen Qiusheng if there was any change.

The third prince's heart gradually settled down, his fear grew stronger, and he turned to Wen Qiusheng and said viciously, "A slut like you, who is easy-going, capable, and full of lies, deserves to be soaked in a pig cage! Father, you -"

The third prince's head just turned towards Xue Yan's direction, when he felt a sudden void under his neck, lightly, he stared blankly at the sky and turned around in front of him, before turning into the ground again in a blink of an eye.

In front of her eyes were bright yellow shoes, with dragon patterns on them showing her identity.His face was icy cold, dripping down his skin to his mouth like rain...

Before he could taste the fishy smell of "rainwater", he saw a fallen person not far away, that headless corpse covered in blood... Fear seized his heart for a moment, and the belated pain made him stare wide eyes.

That's him!That's his body!

he died?How did he die?He hasn't killed Xue Wunian yet, and the queen who turned him into such a ghost!He hasn't taken revenge yet!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

He opened his mouth wide, and the intense pain and hatred merged into an angry roar in his mind, but in reality there were only a few intermittent groans.Blood was spilled all over the ground, he lost consciousness in the strong smell of blood and hatred, and died with regret.

"Third Prince!" "Your Majesty, this—"

The scene of tragic death stunned everyone for a long time, and finally someone reacted, but after making a sound, they also realized that this scene was irreversible.

The tip of the knife in Xue Yan's hand was still dripping blood. He had just cut his own son, but his expression was extremely calm.However, compared to the previous rage, this unusual calm made everyone startled, with cold sweat running down their backs.

It should be said that His Majesty was indeed tyrannical and murderous before, but today he killed the third prince, his only remaining son!Even though tiger poison does not eat children, His Majesty did not hesitate to kill the third prince!

Who can not be terrified by this?

Even Wen Qiusheng was stunned for a while, he originally planned that since the third prince crossed the river and demolished the bridge, he would take this opportunity to catch the third prince as well.But no matter what, he never expected that His Majesty would kill the Third Prince on the spot.

Has His Majesty gone mad?

The blade landed with a crisp sound, Xue Yan pulled Wen Qiusheng to his side, his eyes were dangerous and calm, he distorted the facts openly.

"Come here! The prince intends to seek rebellion. After I found out, I disregarded the brotherhood, brutally killed the third prince, put him in prison, deprived him of the position of the crown prince, and will be executed at another time!"

All the ministers were shocked and there was an uproar.

……

It was winter, and the prison was extremely gloomy and cold, and the cold wind pierced through the cracks in the bricks, freezing people to the bone.

Xue Wunian heard someone unlocking the cell door, his expression remained motionless, as quietly as a stone sculpture.Since that day, his clothes have not been changed, and the blood on the white clothes has long since dried up. If you don't look carefully, it looks like a large ink stain.

In the past few days, the cell was extremely quiet, because of his special status, the guards guarding the prison did not dare to neglect him.However, it is obvious that His Majesty has not changed his mind since the prince was imprisoned, and the jailer's eyes on him have gradually become unfriendly.

Taifu Meng came to see him, but because Xue Wunian refused to listen to persuasion, and was unwilling to admit his mistakes to Xue Yan, Taifu Meng finally returned without success.

Apart from His Majesty, no one will come here now, right?

Thinking of that night when His Majesty suddenly came to the Prince's Mansion and told him the story of his relationship with Wen Qiusheng in detail, Xue Wunian's expression could not restrain his coldness.Even the moles on Wen Qiusheng's ankles, and the red waist when he was emotional, Xue Yan told him in detail, forcing him to listen.

His Majesty obviously wanted to provoke him, and he didn't hide his purpose at all, and he did it very easily.That night, a thought passed through his mind, which was contrary to the world and outrageous, but it was very clear——

The Immortal Juejian has killed so many people, but has not yet killed a king.

This thought has not stopped until now, Xue Wunian frowned slightly.Perhaps when His Majesty steps into this cell, he will implement this idea, even if Xianjuejian is not by his side at this time.

But when he raised his eyes, he was stunned, and his cold eyes froze for a moment.

It wasn't Xue Yan who came, but Wen Qiusheng.

The person who came put down his cloak, skimmed off his snowy body, revealing a beautiful face.

The jailer retreated, leaving only the two of them in the cell.Xue Wunian didn't say anything for a long time, he still hesitated, after that day's surprise, he already realized that he had stepped into a trap.

He really wanted to ask why Wen Qiusheng carefully planned such a trap, was it to bring down the third prince, or...

For another possibility, he instinctively avoided it.

But when thousands of thoughts touched the snowflakes on Wen Qiusheng's hair, they turned into a simple but warm greeting, "Is it snowing outside?"

"En." Wen Qiusheng nodded.

The first snow in winter fell early this morning.

He looked so calm, as if they were not in prison at this time, but just ordinary greetings at home.

Xue Wunian was a little dazed, he couldn't help thinking, maybe, maybe Wen Qiusheng didn't want to go with him because he was in public, after all, this person has always been proud and didn't want to show weakness in front of anyone.

At this time, secretly coming to see him in the prison was his true inner thoughts.

Just at this time, Wen Qiusheng squatted down again, his eyes level with his.So Xue Wunian couldn't help but grabbed his hand, and asked that sentence again, "I can take you away now, are you willing?"

Wen Qiusheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

His Royal Highness has said this sentence three times.

"Now? Your Royal Highness, you can't protect yourself. What else can you do to take me away?"

Just as Xue Wunian was about to explain, Qiu Sheng chuckled, "I told His Highness a long time ago that if you stretch out your hand to me, you will die. Unfortunately, Your Highness just doesn't believe it. Besides, haven't you already heard my explanation in front of His Majesty?" ? The letter I wrote was all a lie to you, and you have fallen into the trap from the very beginning. Your Highness is so smart, how can you not understand it?"

Xue Wunian didn't believe it, he stared closely at Wen Qiusheng's eyes, trying to find a trace of lying in them.

"Impossible, isn't there any truth in what you said to me?"

He thought that Wen Qiusheng had at least a little liking for him, and that's why he would not ask others for help when danger approached.

"What do you mean by cheating, don't you understand?" Wen Qiusheng threw off his hand impatiently, but was held down by his shoulder instead. The prince's expression was a little pale, but his hands were quite strong, and he pushed him down. on the wall.

Wen Qiusheng couldn't struggle, and was about to sneer when he heard the prince ask him in a low voice, "Then why did you do all this? For the evil monk you've been looking for?"

It was spotted?

Wen Qiusheng's eyes flashed, and he asked back, "So what?"

"Is the Wushan Evil Monk really that good? It's worth your effort, even disregarding your own safety, to find him?"

Xue Wunian said it was difficult.From the Wushan fire to this palace change plan, it was all for one person, and he had never met him before. Why did this evil monk occupy such a heavy weight in his heart?

He couldn't help but start to envy this man.

"Of course it's worth it. The evil monk Wushan does whatever he wants, and never cares about the eyes of the world. His martial arts are the best in the world, he dares to do anything, he is free and wanton. He is the person I admire. Apart from martial arts, you are still passable. How can you compare with him?" Compared to him?"

Looking at the longing in Wen Qiusheng's eyes when he talked about that person, Xue Wunian only felt that his heart was soaked in acid water.

"... In your eyes, am I so useless?"

"How can His Highness be useless?" Wen Qiusheng seemed to have just noticed Xue Wunian's pale face, and smiled in surprise, "Your Highness is cold and out of the dust, his talents and strategies are well known to the world, and he is the noble prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. Above all, no one can match the glory of the crown prince."

"But you hate me." Xue Wunian affirmed.

Wen Qiusheng was silent for a while.

Sure enough, it was still discovered?It's all right.

"Yeah, does your Highness think that others should like you for granted? I just can't understand people like you, who are arrogant and artificial, with a cold face all day long, as if talking to you is a gift. You are the son of Dayan, you have been the crown prince since you were a child, and you grew up with the expectations of thousands of people, how can you understand the pain of other people in this world?"

Wen Qiusheng sneered coldly, his usually smiling eyes were now indifferent, like ice piercing into Xue Wunian's heart.

"You are right, I hate you. There is no way, His Royal Highness is the kind of person I hate the most by nature, noble and hypocritical. Do you think you can save others by extending your hand? You can make me treat you Grateful? You are wrong, I don't need your hypocritical kindness."

"No, I didn't think so..." Xue Wunian explained anxiously, "I really want to help you..."

He suddenly thought of the fire in Osan, and he seemed to grasp some life-saving straw, "Do you remember the fire in Osan that night? I was there that night, and I searched for a long time before I found you, you Lying at the bottom of the mountain, I almost thought you were dead. Then I got up on my back, and heard you crying and whispering softly. You thought it was your family who came to pick you up. At that time... I decided at that time, no matter what take you home."

And that nightmare, he saw Wen Qiusheng die in the fire of Tai Chi Hall, the pain in the dream was beyond words.He really wanted to help Wen Qiusheng, and when he thought that this person would be swallowed by flames, the familiar despair hit his heart.

Wushan was on fire, was it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved him?

Wen Qiusheng was a little shocked, but the next moment he waved Xue Wunian's hand away, "Enough! Your Highness, don't make your image worse in my heart. Who doesn't know that His Highness is afraid of fire, and you are affected by even a little candlelight?" No, how could it be possible to break into the flames and save me? Besides, His Highness was doing disaster relief in the west at that time, so even if you want to deceive people, you have to pay attention to the facts!"

And crying on his back, he didn't have the slightest impression!

"Obviously it was Guo Yushi who saved me, so what does it have to do with you?! Your Royal Highness, I came here today just to tell you that I will try my best to intercede for you in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty will not execute you, but exile is inevitable." , I hope His Highness will take care of himself."

The excited expression gradually faded, Xue Wunian looked at Wen Qiusheng, and suddenly laughed lowly, "That's right, you hate me, you won't believe anything I say."

As long as he is still the prince, Wen Qiusheng's prejudice and dislike for him will never disappear.

His tone sounded very penetrating, Wen Qiusheng didn't bother to talk to him anymore, when the time came, the jailer led him out of the cell.

Xue Wunian quietly stared at Wen Qiusheng's back until he could no longer see him, then he lowered his head, his eyes were already dark.

Late at night, the jailers dozed off, and there was a slight noise from the brick cracks in the cell.

A figure came out from the pushed brick wall, knelt behind Xue Wunian, and said in a respectful tone, "Your Highness, the Wei Clan is all ready, and we can act immediately just waiting for His Highness's order."

The moonlight slanted, illuminating the face of the person who came. It was a young man entrusted by Wei Xun to pretend to be an evil monk and enter the palace to meet the prince.
