That's right, I'm the girl who hides in the golden house

=======================

Palace banquets in Guijue Palace were always grand. Ruan Peixu was introduced into the palace, and when he entered the main entrance, he was blindfolded as required. He could probably know where there were people by listening only by his ears, but he didn't know if there were too many or few people.

After reaching Fulu Hall, someone came to untie the cloth strips for him. Ruan Peixu adjusted to the light, and opened his eyes to look forward.

The banquet had already been prepared in the hall, and Old King Guijue was sitting right above, with ministers of Guijue sitting on both sides, leaving two seats at the front.

Under Wen Lou's signal, Ruan Peixu walked to the front of the hall, Yan Qi lowered his head, and followed Wen Lou to kneel down.

Yan Qi narrowed his eyes, satisfied with Ruan Peixu's understanding of current affairs, he waved his hand, and said, "Uncle Guo and General Ruan don't need to be polite, please take a seat quickly."

Wen Lou said "Thank you, King", got up and sat down on the vacant seat on the right, Ruan Peixu did the same after seeing this, stood up and sat down on the left.

Chuolai followed them into the palace, but he was placed in the back row at the end. Although he could lead troops to fight, his status was only the prince's bodyguard, which was not enough for him to sit down.

Yan Qi sat in the upper seat and observed Ruan Peixu. He was eight feet tall and had a handsome face, but his face was a little pale, and he seemed not in a good mood. Yan Qi asked: "I heard that the general was seriously injured earlier, but is he better?"

Ruan Peixu bowed his hands and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, it's much better."

"Thank you." Yan Qi raised his glass, signaling Ruan Peixu to lift it up, "Today is a welcome banquet, let's not talk about business, we will go to rest after eating and drinking, if we have anything to say tomorrow."

This is considered to be considerate of him, the surrendered general of the enemy country, and to show the kindness and kindness of the king. Ruan Peixu was not reserved, and he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Yan Qi called out "Okay" and told the palace servants with a smile: "The banquet begins, go and call the fighting beasts to perform."

Ruan Peixu has heard about Guijue's beast fighting performance. It is roughly that two fierce beasts are locked in a cage. The master uses whips or other methods to make the fierce beasts in the cage feel frightened, thinking that they will be punished if they lose, and thus fiercely fight. Attack each other continuously until one side completely loses its ability to attack.

The endless fighting is somewhat tragic, Ruan Peixu can't appreciate it, he doesn't understand why the Guijue people like this kind of bloody performance, the taste is so heavy, but I heard that the beast fighting in the Guijue Palace is about intelligence, relatively Gentle, the old king Guijue called, it should be a battle of wits, right?

If it was a battle of wits, it would be quite elegant. Ruan Peixu stared at the food on the table. He hadn't eaten for a day, and hoped that he could eat this meal in peace.

After a while, more than a dozen palace people brought a big iron cage, and Ruan Peixu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the momentum: Oh, it's not Xu's fault that the sky is going to starve me.

Placing this kind of cage in the elegant hall is somewhat against the law. Ruan Peixu suddenly remembered what Chuolai said, and suddenly became concerned, and calmly swept around the guards in the hall. I didn't want to take the opportunity to end him.

Taking another look at Yan Qi, Yan Qi was sitting at the top, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was trying to do.

Ruan Peixu slowly put down his chopsticks, he had a premonition that this meal would not be very tasty.

It turns out that his premonition was correct. The first person to come in was a strong man with a tiger behind him. He had thick arms and thick legs, and he was fat and strong. He was so fat that it would take a long time to roll over. ?

Ruan Peixu smiled secretly, but when he saw the people behind the tiger, he couldn't laugh for a moment. He stood up almost instantly, and the people in the palace seemed to have been prepared for Ruan Peixu's reaction. Howe was not surprised, and even looked at him as if he was watching a play.

The person who came in was none other than Qing Tianliang, with an iron chain tied around his neck, his eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth were drooling.

Ruan Peixu clenched his fists, looked at Old King Guijue, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "My lord, it seems that you want to watch a tiger fight a man?"

Yan Qi smiled and shook his head, explaining: "It's not a human being, it's my son's pet. It's a wild and unruly vicious dog. It looks docile on the surface like a domesticated dog, but it's actually very good at biting people, but it's very vicious."

Ruan Peixu gritted his teeth and looked at the tiger that had been locked in the cage. That thing, no matter how fat it is, is still a tiger, and its fangs are not fake.

"Isn't that appropriate?" Ruan Peixu continued to laugh, "Such a thin vicious dog is nothing to look at."

Wen Lou stood up and said, "Isn't it the most interesting thing to fight the strong with the weak? We Guijue people worship the strong. As the prince's pet, to win glory for the prince is the meaning of his existence."

Ruan Peixu was so angry that his chest was tight and painful. Under the eyes of everyone, he could not react too aggressively. When he was annoyed, Chuolai walked quickly to the front of the hall, knelt down in front of Old King Guijue, and said, "Please, Your Majesty. Think twice, the young master belongs to the crown prince, please take the prince's face and send the young master back to the palace."

Your Majesty was too daring to treat the young master like this while the prince was not in the palace. Chuolai, who knew the inside story, broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking that the prince would find out later, he would definitely not let it go.

Yan Qi didn't even give him a look, Wen Lou waved to him: "The attendant back down."

Chuolai's heart sank, brows hardened, and he nodded heavily again: "Your Majesty, please take care of the Prince and send you back to the palace."

Wen Lou's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Come here, drag him out."

Chuolai raised his head, glanced at Ruan Peixu with a panicked expression, and was dragged down by the eunuch who came forward.

Seeing the palace guards driving Qing Tianliang into the cage, Ruan Peixu endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, strode to the iron cage, and pressed down on the iron door so that the strong man couldn't close it.

Yan Qi looked a little displeased, and asked, "What do you mean, General?"

Ruan Peixu raised his head and looked at Yan Qi, he could no longer pretend to be smiling, and said: "I was born in Dajia Country, and I am used to pity and cherish jade. This is the first time I see such a beautiful person, and I feel very sorry for him. If the king really wants to see a play , why not let me replace him, I am quite interested in fighting tigers."

Yan Qi smiled and didn't speak, Wen Lou walked slowly to Ruan Peixu, straightened his back, and said softly: "Why don't you take a good look, General, you really don't know this man?"

Ruan Peixu's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Uncle Guo, what does this mean?"

"It is said that he is the son of the prime minister of the Great Jia Kingdom, the sweetheart of the young prince Huo Yunchao, and your stepbrother, General." Wen Lou looked at Ruan Peixu, not wanting to let go of his emotions, "The General will serve me, Guijue." , You have to do something, the owner of Duan Baishan Villa surrendered to our country before, but you killed his wife with your own hands, you can't do nothing, can you?"

Ruan Peixu stared at him without saying a word. These people knew who Qing Tianliang was, and today's attack was specially prepared for him. If he continued to stop him, he would be beheaded by Yan Qi and others in the palace. If you don't stop him, Qing Tianliang may die in the jaws of a tiger.

After a long time, Ruan Peixu sneered, and turned to look at Qing Tianliang. He was chained, and he didn't struggle or make a fuss. He just stared at the people in front of him with eyes that were getting redder and redder, as if as long as the master loosened the iron. chain, he would rush up and tear people apart.

"Is it drugged?" Ruan Peixu asked the strong man.

The strong man looked at Wen Lou, as if asking him if he should answer the question.

Wen Lou said: "No, he is naturally manic."

Ruan Peixu pressed his cheeks and gave a "tsk", he had seen it, no one can compare to Guijue than opening his eyes and telling nonsense.

Planning or Qing Tianliang, which one is more important?Ruan Peixu is weighing this issue.

The plan he wants to implement determines the success or failure of the war between Dajia Kingdom and Guijue. If he abandons the plan and chooses to take Qing Tianliang to go out, then Dajia Kingdom may lose the battle, and in serious cases, the country will perish. This is one, and the other is that they It is not necessarily possible to escape, and there is a high possibility of dying in this palace.

If he gives up saving Qing Tianliang, then he can gain the trust of King Guijue and successfully complete the plan, resulting in the destruction of Guijue country, but the consequences are: Qing Tianliang's death leads to the split of Dajia country, or Huo Yun goes crazy and leads to Dajia's death. The country is divided.

And the divided Dajia Kingdom will be swallowed by other countries in a short time. Even if it is not swallowed up, it will be no different from the current Guijue and Dajia Kingdoms. The people will always live in fear of possible wars and get tired of wars It is also possible that the common people will revolt and seize power.

No matter which one you choose, the final result seems to be the worst one, Ruan Peixu is really embarrassed.

When he didn't speak for a long time, Qing Tianhao, who had always been quiet, seemed to be pushed to the extreme by the effects of the medicine, and suddenly struggled. The tiger sleeping in the cage was woken up, and looked up at the struggling person at the door of the cage.

The strong man pulled on the iron chain with all his strength, trying to stabilize Qing Tianliang, but he didn't expect that Qing Tianliang's strength was unexpectedly strong, and he couldn't control it for a while.

Ruan Peixu subconsciously held down the person, he didn't want him to bump into him and hurt himself, but Qing Tianliang seemed to have found the target of attack, turned his head and directly bit Ruan Peixu's tiger's mouth.

Ruan Peixu frowned in pain, and pulled his hand out, but he couldn't pull it out, so he had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pinch Qing Tianliang's mouth vigorously, and freed his hand from under his mouth.

The bite was so hard that the tiger's mouth was torn, and blood dripped down mixed with saliva. Ruan Peixu casually wiped his clothes, stared at Qing Tianliang and asked, "Fool, do you know me?"

Qing Tianliang stretched his neck and just wanted to bite someone.

Wen Lou and Yan Qi looked at each other, Yan Qi gave him a wink, Wen Lou accepted, and said to Ruan Peixu: "General, it's time to make a decision."

Ruan Peixu clenched his fists, glanced at Wen Lou coldly, and said, "This is my younger brother."

Wen Lou said: "When Huo Yunchao sent people to chase you down, he never considered that you were his brother. You are so kind and soft-hearted, what did you get in return? When your life is on the line, don't forget who saved you."

Ruan Peixu thought about his words, and after a long while, he compromised: "Can I ask for mercy and let him live."

Wen Lou said with a smile: "This wild beast fighting with each other is beyond human control. Don't be joking, general."

This was determined to kill Qing Tianliang, Ruan Peixu clenched his fists, and under the gaze of Wen Lou and other ministers, he said, "I want soldiers and horses to kill Huo Yunchao."

This is talking about conditions, if Old King Guijue gives him troops, he will not stop Qing Tianliang.

Only then did Yan Qi smile, and said: "As long as you express your opinion, this king will definitely not treat you badly."

Ruan Peixu pursed his lips, slowly let go of his fist, and slowly took two steps back under the gaze of the crowd.

Wen Lou winked at the strong man, and the strong man caught the struggling man and threw him into the cage, and closed the cage door with a "bang".

When the tiger saw the opponent coming in, he got up from the ground, with the tiger's head facing the opponent. Qing Tianliang was like a fighting cock, looking straight at the tiger, as if he was going to charge directly.

Standing outside the iron cage, Ruan Peixu couldn't help sweating in his heart when he looked inside. When Qing Tianliang bit him just now, he secretly licked his palm, which completely didn't match his fierce appearance.

There must be a demon in everything that happens, Qing Tianliang, this is a code word for him.

Ruan Peixu ventured to guess that Qing Tianliang told him to leave it alone, and he hoped that he guessed right, otherwise he would have a hard time explaining to anyone.
