Now the eldest prince is eager to eliminate dissidents. Knowing that Guan Xiang has been hiding his identity, the suspicious eldest prince must think that Guan Xiang is greedy.

How could he possibly leave Guan Xiang alive?

Ah Hu looked at Qu Xinyue with fascination and sighed: "Xiaoyue, you are still as smart as usual."

Qu Xinyue pursed her lips and advised: "Brother Ah Hu, please stop. We will still be friends in the future. Otherwise, when Jing Rui comes back..."

When talking about Jing Rui, Ah Hu was obviously in a very bad mood.

He raised his hand, and suddenly several men in black walked out from behind him and approached Qu Xinyue's side.

If Qu Xinyue doesn't obey and follow him, he will knock her out and take her away.

Ah Hu sneered.

"Don't worry, Guan Xiang's death is true, otherwise Jing Rui and those elites would not be fooled, but what awaits them is a trap that the eldest prince has already set."

Qu Xinyue's face also turned cold and asked.

"What do you want to do? What does the eldest prince want to do?"

Ah Hu looked at Qu Xinyue affectionately, and reached out to gently hook the loose hair hanging by Qu Xinyue's ears behind her ears.

"Xiao Yue, I just want to have you. My sister and I depended on each other at the beginning, but my sister was in poor health and needed a lot of my precious medicinal herbs."

"The eldest prince said that as long as I enter the Qu Mansion as an insider and investigate the secrets of Master Qu, he will help me save my sister."

"But when I left Qu's house, my sister was gone, so you are the only one left in this world."

Seeing that his words failed to move Qu Xinyue, Ah Hu's eyes suddenly showed a gloomy look.

In order to make Qu Xinyue give up, he spoke in a deep voice.

"The eldest prince wants to keep Jing Rui in Dayan. He has his eyes on Hanjiang and the mineral resources and lands conquered from Yuguo."

Qu Xinyue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard that.

The eldest prince is ugly but he has beautiful thoughts.

Indeed, as long as Jing Rui was left behind, the Han territory and some of the conquered countries could be incorporated into the territory of Dayan.

But the premise is that Dayan is not so chaotic.

The six ministries of Dayan are now in name only, and even the morning court cannot proceed normally.

He was already in a state of panic, and yet he greedily coveted Han territory.

Do you want to become a big fat man in one bite? You are not afraid of choking to death.

Qu Xinyue knew what she wanted to know, so she walked to Ah Hu and said calmly, "I'll go with you."

Although Ah Hu was sad about Qu Xinyue's attitude towards him, he thought that Qu Xinyue would have to stay with him in the future and wait for them to fall in love.

Enough.

He believed that even a stone would be warmed up if kept for a long time.

Even if it doesn't get hot after ten years, then keep it for twenty years, thirty years...

Anyway, as long as Qu Xinyue is always with him, it will be fine.

Thinking of the days when they would be together day and night in the future, Ah Hu's tense face softened and his lips slowly and gently curled up.

"do not move!"

Suddenly, a sharp hairpin pressed against Ah Hu's carotid artery.

The cold, stinging sensation brought Ah Hu back to his senses. His pupils suddenly shrank, and there was sadness and grief in his pupils.

The man in black who followed Ah Hu didn't expect that the weak-looking Qu Xinyue would suddenly attack?

And he was able to successfully launch a sneak attack on Ah Hu right under their noses?

But now seeing the sharp tip of the hairpin against Ah Hu's neck, they were afraid to act rashly.

Ah Hu pursed his lips tightly.

Qu Xinyue pushed Ah Hu and said coldly: "Now take me to Guan Xiang's place."

Ah Hu frowned: "There's already a fight going on over there, what if you get hurt by mistake?"

What he didn't want to say was that the eldest prince had some intention but not any intention, and Jing Rui was facing traps, and he would be in danger of death if he went there.

"Then you don't need to worry about it, let's go." Qu Xinyue urged with a serious face.

Seeing that Qu Xinyue was serious, Ah Hu had no choice but to move forward.

Then, he discovered that more and more elites appeared and gathered behind Qu Xinyue.

As soon as the elites appeared, they immediately subdued Ah Hu's men.

Ah Hu was stunned by the agile skills.

"You, why do you still have so many manpower?" Ah Hu was so shocked that he stuttered, and asked Qu Xinyue with a grim expression.

Yuan Ying smiled nonchalantly: "We have had so many people from the beginning, but we didn't put it on the surface, so you didn't know. And why do we have to tell you everything?"

No matter how you listen to it, it feels like a mockery of him.

Ah Hu showed an expression of disbelief on his face and remained silent for a while.

He was not afraid of the sharp hairpin piercing his skin. He turned his head to look at Qu Xinyue, sadness in his eyes and asked in a trembling voice.

"Xiao Yue, have you been suspicious of me for a long time? And have you been on guard against me all the time?" Otherwise, he would know nothing about so many guards hiding in the dark.

If he knew that Xiaoyue had so many talented people around him, he would not be so reckless...

In addition, Ah Hu wanted to ask, but did not dare to ask a question: Was Xiaoyue's kindness to him during this period all fake?

Qu Xinyue let go of Ah Hu. Now Yuan Ying was standing next to him on guard. With so many elites around her, her life was absolutely safe. Ah Hu could not do anything to her anymore.

She shook her head: "I really didn't know at first. It was true that I took people to the dungeon of Qu Mansion to rescue you, until you followed me to the Sixth Princess' Mansion."

Ah Hu looked at Qu Xinyue intently, not understanding what had gone wrong and how he had exposed himself since he had been so careful.

"Brother Ah Hu, if you were just a servant of the Qu Mansion, it would be impossible for you to have such a clear understanding of all the connections in the Qu Mansion."

"And Brother Hu, you are very good at recognizing people. If you hadn't received special training, you would never be so good at this."

There is one thing Qu Xinyue didn't say. In fact, after escaping from Kyoto, she slowly came to realize that Brother Ahu's identity was not simple!

After all, she was one of those people who was under strict surveillance, and there was always someone guarding outside the house.

But every time when she was about to faint from hunger, Ah Hu would avoid all the guards and come to see her with food.

She felt that since Brother Ahu was unwilling to reveal his true identity, she would treat him as a friend or brother.

But when she found out, Brother Ah Hu knew all the overt and covert forces of Master Qu very clearly.

Qu Xinyue then suddenly realized something.

Since Brother Ah Hu knows all of Master Qu's connections, how could Ah Hu, who lives in Qu's mansion, not know her talent as a master?

Perhaps Ah Hu knew this, so he tried to find a way to show some kindness to her.

But he would deliberately put her in desperate situations, when she was extremely hungry, or when she was seriously injured and had a high fever, and then he would appear to help her.

This practice is no less than starving an eagle.

Qu Xinyue didn't want to think so badly of people, so when she rescued Ah Hu, she never completely believed him.

He also asked Yuan Ying to keep an eye on Ah Hu in secret to see who he would contact.

As a result, Yuan Ying really saw it. Ah Hu secretly went to see the eldest prince.

The sounds of fighting became clearer and clearer.

In front of me is a large courtyard that looks very ordinary.

The courtyard wall was built high. This was the eldest prince's villa. Jing Rui and Guan Xiang were both led here.

The elites smashed the door open, and Qu Xinyue followed the crowd in.

After passing the screen wall, you will see an empty square like a parade ground.

There were a lot of soldiers wearing soft armor inside, surrounding Jing Rui, Guan Xiang and others.

In a pavilion not far away, the eldest prince, wearing a yellow dragon robe and a golden crown with oriental pearls on his head, was suave and handsome, but his cold eyes ruined his beauty.

"Sixth Princess." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, tapping his palms lightly with the folding fan in his hand, pretending to be thoughtful and asked, "Should I call you Qu Xinyue?"

Ah Hu avoided looking at Qu Xinyue when he heard that, for fear of seeing a look of disgust on Qu Xinyue's face.

Guan Xiang, who was in the encirclement and had to stop fighting temporarily because Qu Xinyue and her men suddenly broke in, was stunned when he heard the eldest prince's words.

He stared at Qu Xinyue blankly, his expression dazed.

He had few relatives since childhood.

Although he was born into a royal family, he dared not admit his identity and had to wear a mask every day.

Although the Guan family is his maternal family, they are too harsh on him.

He still remembers that when he was a child, he saw his cousins ​​buy a few crickets to play with, so he bought one too.

As a result, my grandfather found out about this. Not only did the crickets he bought get stepped on to death, he was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

My grandfather always said that if he didn’t work hard, how could he be worthy of his dead mother?

Although my uncle and others were polite, their politeness seemed like they were trying to draw a clear line between them and him.

One day, he fell asleep in the rockery and was suddenly awakened by a burst of voices.

He heard the conversation between his two uncles.

"Father is really foolish. He brought Guan Xiang back to live in Guan Mansion. If his identity as a prince is exposed, the entire Guan Mansion will suffer."

"...When father is gone, we must drive him out of the Guan Mansion."

"Then let's be careful. If his identity is leaked and kicking him out doesn't work, we don't mind making him disappear forever to prevent future troubles..."

Guan Xiang could no longer hear what his two uncles said. All that was left in his head was a buzzing sound of shock and the feeling of loneliness that he was the only one left in the world.

Until I met the Sixth Princess in Qu Mansion.

He had met the Sixth Princess before, but due to their status, the two of them had no contact.

However, news about the Sixth Princess is still heard every day.

After all, the Sixth Princess is the Emperor's most beloved princess and lives a very free life every day.

Such people have the capital to be arrogant and indulgent.

The Sixth Princess was indeed arrogant and spoiled to the end. Whenever he met her occasionally, she would roll her eyes to the sky with a look of disgust on her face.

However, this time when he met the Sixth Princess in Qu Mansion, she spoke to him in a gentle and soft voice.

She would let him go to the Sixth Princess's Mansion and would indulge him greatly.

Guan Xiang couldn't help feeling a desire, he tentatively and cautiously called her sister.

A sweet and inclusive smile is received every time.

At this moment, he finally felt the warmth of love.

For this family relationship, Guan Xiangxiang is willing to give everything.

But what did he hear now?

The imperial sister is not the real imperial sister!

But it’s Qu Xinyue!

Guan Xiang sneered. Qu Xinyue's surname was also Qu. No wonder she wanted to conflict with the great Taoist Qu.

Just when Guan was in a trance, a guard of a great prince behind him suddenly stabbed Guan in the back with a sword in his hand.

Guan Xiang only felt the sound of cold wind coming from behind him, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he rolled on the ground in a hurry.

But he was a few breaths too slow, and a big cut appeared on his back near his heart.

Guan Xiang staggered and his face turned pale.

Guan Xiang was attacked, which seemed to be the beginning of a fight again.

Yuan Ying directly carried Ah Hu into the battle circle and the fight started fiercely. The elites chose their opponents one after another.

Ah Hu's fighting ability is not good, and he was brought into the battle circle by Hanjiang Yuanying.

In the past, every time Ah Hu met the eldest prince, he would meet in private and had never met these guards, so he didn't recognize them as his own people as soon as they met.

Instead, he saw the Hanjiang elites helping to chop off some of the arrows that were about to hit him.

No matter how you look at it, they look like people from Hanjiang.

Qu Xinyue took a look at the battle situation. Guan Xiang was injured and his movements were obviously not as agile as before.

Moreover, Guan Xiang’s martial arts skills are indeed mediocre. If he continues, he will probably suffer a great loss.

At this moment, a whistle suddenly was heard.

What followed was a barrage of flaming arrows wrapped in pine oil that shot in from outside the courtyard.

After the feather arrows were shot in, the fire spread rapidly and they felt like they were in a huge furnace in an instant!

Looking at the dense flaming arrows, all those who were fighting stopped attacking.

The eldest prince's guards looked at the flaming arrows with pale faces, and then looked around. Because it was a training ground, there were few buildings and the place was very empty.

As a result, there is no place to hide now!

There was no trace of leisure on the eldest prince's face. His complexion was tense and gloomy.

I guess you already know who is the person who had people shooting fire feather arrows outside the courtyard.

The people standing in front of the eldest prince fell one after another.

Guan Xiang happened to be right in front of him, so he grabbed Guan Xiang without hesitation.

Guan Xiang had been injured and had difficulty moving, so he was caught red-handed by him without paying attention.

When Qu Xinyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but frown.

She decisively walked towards Guan Xiang who was being held hostage.

"What do you want to do?" She looked at the eldest prince unhappily.

The eldest prince was proud of his decision when he saw that Qu Xinyue cared so much about Guan Xiang.

He clamped his palms tightly around Guan Xiang's neck and threatened with a vicious look.

"This prince hopes you can help, as long as you help this prince fight his way out.

Qu Xinyue almost laughed when she heard this. The eldest prince was very scheming. Was he openly asking the elites to die for him?

"The eldest prince is joking..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly increased the strength of his hands, pinching Guan Xiang's face until it turned red and black.

He didn't like people interrupting him while he was speaking, as it made him look like he had no dignity.

"If you don't want Guan Xiang to suffer, then you can be his hostage instead." The eldest prince raised a malicious smile.

Qu Xinyue took a step forward without hesitation, with a smile on her pale lips, "Okay."

Her answer immediately shocked Guan Xiang and the eldest prince.

Neither of them expected this outcome.

The eldest prince was a little reluctant to hand over Guan Xiang, but who knew that Guan Xiang was more valued by Qu Xinyue than he imagined?

"Don't come over here." Guan Xiang saw Qu Xinyue slowly approaching him, his nose began to ache, and he murmured, "Sister."

The eldest prince was pleased to see Qu Xinyue obediently walking towards him without resistance.

But he overlooked one problem: wherever Qu Xinyue was, Jing Rui would focus most of his attention on her.

While the eldest prince's attention was all on Qu Xinyue, Jing Rui, who had circled behind the eldest prince, moved!

He punched the eldest prince.

The sneak attack was successful, and when the eldest prince was seeing stars, he unexpectedly pulled Guan Xiang behind him, and then, under the protection of the elites, he moved away from the eldest prince.

Seeing that Guan Xiang had been rescued, Qu Xinyue decisively took a few steps back, and at the same time, she continued to ridicule him, "Prince, you don't have any hostages left!"

The eldest prince:......
