Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"So, the person you want to take revenge on is Emperor Chengyuan Song Yi." Jiang Xue said, "This revenge is difficult to take."

"Song Yi is still cruel and ruthless." Xiao Zhan sighed. Song Yi is known for his cruelty. If he can't get something, he would rather destroy it than leave it to others.

"How many of you were there at that time?" Si Ruochen asked, as if he had heard something about it.

"About a dozen people." Qiu Qianhuan replied.

"How did you escape from the siege of three thousand people?" Xiao Zhan asked.

No matter how powerful one is, the chance of winning is almost zero when faced with an absolute numerical advantage.

Qiu Qianhuan was tightly surrounded by his companions, who built a barrier with their lives. Whenever night fell, he would always dream of his fallen comrades, who repeatedly told him in their last moments: Stay alive.

"Are you still awake?" Xiao Zhan found that Jiang Xue was not by the fire, so he went to the lake to look for her, and indeed saw her. Although the climate in Changle was getting warmer, the night was still chilly, especially for Jiang Xue who was afraid of the cold.

In order to prevent her from catching a cold, Xiao Zhan gently embraced her from behind.

When he felt the warmth of her fingertips, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief - at least he didn't catch a cold.

"I'm thinking about Qiu Qianhuan." The moonlight was like water, covering Jiang Xue with a layer of silver gauze, making her look even more radiant.

Although he knew that she was just thinking about Qiu Qianhuan's words, Xiao Zhan still felt a little unhappy when he thought that she had another man in her heart.

"It makes me sad that you're thinking about someone else while you're in my arms." He sighed softly, knowing that his reaction was a little childish, but it was always difficult to remain calm in front of his loved one.

Noticing his change in mood, Jiang Xue smiled and tiptoed to give him a gentle kiss on the cheek, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Much better." Xiao Zhan's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Regarding Qiu Qianhuan, I don't think what he said is entirely true." Jiang Xue shared her doubts: "The cruel methods he used in battle are not something that ordinary rangers can possess."

"If his story is true, then these actions are not surprising," Xiao Zhan responded:

"People who have experienced the test of life and death often go to two extremes. Some people will cherish life and treat others well; while others may become hateful like him and take more violent revenge."

"Maybe. Fortunately, he usually hides well, which also reduces unnecessary trouble." Jiang Xue said.

Then, she mentioned what really worried her: "But what I am more concerned about is how he knew my identity of Nirvana and my brother's secret? Just now he called my brother Your Highness. Could it be that my brother is a member of the royal family?"

As the wind grew stronger, Jiang Xue's fingers became cold. Xiao Zhan took off his coat and put it on her, hugging her tighter, as if this could dispel all the anxiety and coldness.

Xiao Zhan said to her, "I have asked people to investigate Si Ruochen's background, especially the mysterious cases that have occurred in the royal families of various countries in the past ten years, to see if they are related to the succession to the throne of any country. However, these secrets are not so easy to uncover, and it will take some time."

He looked at her and continued, "As for how he knew about you, since he is with us now, it won't be too difficult to find out."

"I thought you would oppose my decision." After all, Xiao Zhan was determined not to let Qiu Qianhuan follow them at the beginning.

"You're right. He has too much information, and we don't know where he got it from. If we deal with him hastily, we will lose an important source of clues. If someone does something bad to you, we will be in a passive situation."

Xiao Zhan is not a simple person. He knows that things in the world are complex and changeable, and one cannot draw conclusions easily.

Beside the fire, Qiu Qianhuan opened his eyes.

In fact, he had been awake since the moment Xiao Zhan stood up.

Years of wandering life have left him in a light sleep at night, and any noise would make him alert.

After Xiao Zhan walked away, he turned his gaze to Si Ruochen who was sleeping beside the tree. That face looked just like the imperial concubine Ying Xia back then.

Rumor has it that Emperor Yingxia has been looking for the missing prince. If he sees Si Ruochen, he will surely be very happy.

Thinking of this, Qiu Qianhuan showed a gentle smile on his face. That gentle woman, as gentle as orchid, was like a ray of light in his wandering life.

"You don't have a name yet? Then just call me Qian Huan."

He remembered that on that snowy night, he collapsed at the entrance of the post station, suffering from hunger and cold, and was rescued by a passing noble lady.

After giving him a meal, she also gave him the name Qian Huan, which means to become the pillar of the country and bring benefits to the people.

"Your Highness..." he called softly, this title was a remembrance of the person in his heart.

"What do you know?" Si Ruochen also woke up and felt that the other person's gaze made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

"Your Highness will understand everything when the time comes." Qiu Qianhuan replied with a smile, then closed his eyes and went to rest.

What a mysterious character.

Si Ruochen stared at the man in front of him. He always respectfully called him "Your Highness", but never revealed any secrets about his life.

He had asked his master about this in the past, but the answer he got was always that the time was not right.

But so many years have passed, when will that so-called opportunity come?

This made Si Ruochen very confused.

Just then, a light breeze blew, and the leaves rustled and slowly fell.

Qiu Qianhuan suddenly became alert.

"If Your Highness can't sleep, why not stretch your muscles with me?" After he said that, he quickly left the place.

Almost at the same time, Si Ruochen also felt the dangerous atmosphere in the air and immediately followed.

By the lake, Jiang Xue keenly sensed the faint smell of blood in the air.

"Xiao Yan's people are here." She said in a low voice.

Not far away, Xiao Zhan had already drawn his sword and pierced the heart of a man in black who was trying to sneak attack. The man fell down before he could even scream.

"You just need to rest for a while. You have already used up a lot of energy dealing with those alchemists just now." As he said that, Xiao Zhan gently stopped Jiang Xue who wanted to help, and quickly turned around and dealt with the other two enemies.

Facing the assassins sent by Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan seemed to be at ease, and in a few moves, all the attackers lost their ability to move. When Si Ruochen and his men arrived at the scene, the battle was already over, and Xiao Zhan was putting away his sword.

"That strike was fatal. It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Gong's martial arts have improved even more." After checking around, Qiu Qianhuan exclaimed in admiration.

From this battle, we can see that Xiao Zhan is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also makes rapid progress, which is incomparable to ordinary people.

Xiao Yan's fear of him was not groundless. Even the emperors of Chengyuan and Yingxia looked at him differently.
