【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

"Wang Kuan? Wang Kuan!"

Wang Kuan suddenly returned to his senses, but saw Zhao Jian, Yuan Bofin and others looking at him worriedly, without taking their eyes off him. He pursed his lips and said calmly, "Sorry, I was distracted."

Xiaojing asked worriedly, "Brother Wang, are you okay?"

Wei Yanei looked left and right, and felt that the atmosphere was too dignified. He laughed a few times and said, "We've been busy for several days, why don't we take a break first?"

Wang Kuan focused his eyes, and he rubbed the center of his eyebrows: "No, continue."

Everyone was speechless, the air slowly stagnated, and for a while, there was no sound in the camp.

Yuan Bofin sighed secretly, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Kuan, how long has it been since you closed your eyes?"

Wang Kuan's movements paused, his voice was a little stiff, with hesitation: "After Yuan Zhongxin left, never."

Before Yuan Bo could speak, Zhao Jian's face darkened. She directly pulled Wang Kuan up from the chair, and walked out of the tent without saying a word.

Wang Kuan was stunned for a moment: "Wait, Zhao Jian..."

Zhao Jian turned her head back, her expression as cold as ice: "Wait? What are you waiting for? When you can't get up from tossing yourself, shall I push you to rest?"

Wang Kuan was helpless: "It's not that I don't want to rest, it's that I can't sleep."

As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Yuan Zhongxin, his heart ached so badly, he was obviously not afraid of the cold, but he felt that he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and the torment was unbearable.

Zhao Jian naturally understood why Wang Kuan couldn't sleep. Yuan Zhongxin went to Yinbing Pavilion alone to meet Ning Qi. Although he promised to come back before leaving, as long as Yuan Zhongxin didn't return for a day, no one could let them go. Xinlai fell asleep peacefully—not to mention Wang Kuan, even herself, every time she woke up, she was still in shock. Yuan Zhongxin's safety was like a nightmare, which made her unbearably entangled.

Zhao Jian pursed her lips: "Even if you can't sleep, you have to go to rest—" Just when Zhao Jian didn't know how to persuade her, she suddenly remembered what Yuan Zhongxin said to herself before leaving, she raised her eyebrows, He leaned over and whispered a few words into Wang Kuan's ear.

Everyone watched Wang Kuan's expression change from embarrassment to helplessness, and then to a bit dumbfounded. Wang Kuan said uncomfortably, "This is absolutely impossible."

Zhao Jian shrugged indifferently: "Who knows, everything is possible."

Wang Kuan had no choice but to step back: "Then I'll go to rest for a while, and come to me directly if I need anything."

Everyone watched Wang Kuan leave the camp in shock, dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that Zhao Jian had subdued Wang Kuan with just a few words.

Xiao Jing looked at Zhao Jian with admiration: "Sister Zhao, what did you say to Brother Wang, it's so effective."

Zhao Jian smiled slyly: "It's nothing, I just said to Wang Kuan, if you are tossing yourself so hard now, once Yuan Zhongxin comes back, he may not be able to commit himself to Yuan Zhongxin. down."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Jian looked innocent: "Why are you looking at me like that? This trick was taught to me by Yuan Zhongxin. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

Wei Yanei shook his head inexplicably: "Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, no man in love can escape the head of the head."

Xue Ying rolled her eyes: "Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps, so you should say a few words less."

Yuan Bo smiled lightly, his face that had been tense for many days finally showed a smile, and he said: "Since Wang Kuan has also gone to rest, let's stop for a while, haste makes waste, war is a matter of decision Can't be in a hurry."

"Sister Zhao, you haven't slept yet?" Xiaojing lifted the curtain of the camp tent, and found that Zhao Jian was sitting on the soft couch in a trance, his eyes drifting away, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Jian was stunned, she was in a daze for too long, and she didn't even realize that someone had entered the tent, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled lightly: "Didn't Xiaojing sleep too?"

Xiao Jing's watery eyes fixedly looked at Zhao Jian, and he said after a long time: "Sister Zhao, you just persuaded Brother Wang so much just now, you got up by yourself."

Zhao Jian paused, then said with a sneer, "Why, I'm not going to sleep now."

Although Zhao Jian smiled, Xiao Jing was even more worried. She stepped forward, sat side by side with Zhao Jian, and said softly: "I am also very worried about Brother Yuan, I am worried that Ning Qi will be unfavorable to Brother Yuan, and I am even more worried about Brother Yuan. I can't come back just like that..."

Zhao Jian's heart constricted uncontrollably, and his fingertips turned slightly white.

She knew very well that it was better to be afraid than worried.

The nightmare three years ago has been lingering in Zhao Jian's mind. Even if Yuan Zhongxin came back, she didn't dare to say it casually. She was afraid that her thoughts would make Yuan Zhongxin's heart hurt worse. She even forced herself to do it. Going back to Zhao Jian when she first entered the secret pavilion, she didn't know if she was successful or not. She only knew that whenever Yuan Zhongxin looked at her, the pure and long eyes seemed to have magical power, stripping away all her strong disguises. Nothing left.

When Yuan Zhongxin proposed to go to the Yinbing Pavilion alone, Zhao Jian thought that Wang Kuan would firmly oppose it, but she didn't expect that Wang Kuan just nodded lightly and agreed without saying anything, but she was It's not that she doesn't understand Yuan Zhongxin, the most violent opponent. Yuan Zhongxin wants to win, thinking like crazy, but the price of victory is so heavy, and Yuan Zhongxin needs to sacrifice his life time and time again.

It was three years ago, and it will be three years later.

In the end, Zhao Jian gave in, but she made an unreasonable request that Yuan Zhongxin go to the Yinbing Pavilion, and she also followed.

Zhao Jian still remembered the helpless smile on Yuan Zhongxin's face when he heard this. He said: Zhao Jian, I need you to stay in Song Dynasty, and I need you to help me take care of Wang Kuan.

He said: This guy Wang Kuan seems to be calm and calm, but as long as his sanity collapses and he goes crazy, he can do anything - so Zhao Jian, here, only you can control Wang Kuan.

On the scheming city, Zhao Jian had to obey Yuan Zhongxin, he thought up an excuse to persuade himself to compromise with just a few words, and even asked people to refute his incompetence.

Xiaojing noticed that Zhao Jian's hand was shaking, she quickly shook it, and shouted nervously, "Sister Zhao."

Zhao Jian gritted her teeth and took a deep breath to calm herself down: "I know, I'm fine, I can't panic, I can't panic..."

Now is an extraordinary period, and the morale of the army must not be disturbed at this time.

Xiaojing comforted Zhao Jian: "Sister Zhao, Brother Yuan will be fine, you have to trust him, Brother Yuan is so powerful, nothing will happen to him."

In order to stop his wild thinking, Zhao Jian cheered up and said with a smile: "You have no doubts in Yuan Zhongxin, and you have never doubted his every decision from the beginning to the end."

Xiao Jing blinked and said with a smile: "Of course, he is Brother Yuan."

Zhao Jian only felt that the boulder weighing on her heart was being let go little by little, and she asked again: "Then Yuan Zhongxin and I, who do you trust more?"

Xiaojing gave the answer instantly: "Brother Yuan."

Zhao Jian twitched the corners of his mouth: "At any rate, you should act hesitant, this is too much for me..."

Xiao Jing smiled and stuck out his tongue slightly: "Brother Yuan is smart."

Zhao Jian squinted his eyes, tapped Xiaojing's forehead with less than two points of force, and said dryly: "Then you can follow Yuan Zhongxin from now on, he is so smart, he will definitely help you get promoted and become rich fiscal."

Xiao Jing: "That won't work, I still like to follow Sister Zhao, money is not important, Sister Zhao is the most important."

Zhao Jian was surprised and amused: "This glib tone is learned from Yuan Zhongxin, he speaks so fluently."

Xiao Jing took Zhao Jian's arm: "That's not it, I thought so myself."

Looking at Xiaojing's sweet smile, Zhao Jian's mood suddenly relaxed a lot. She touched Xiaojing's head: "It's getting late, you go to bed first, I'll go wash up."

Xiao Jing nodded obediently, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared after Zhao Jian walked out of the tent. She looked down at her trembling hands, her lips were slightly pale, and she stared blankly at the crumbling lamp on the table , whispered: "Brother Yuan, you will be fine, right?"

You must be safe and sound, Brother Wang, Sister Zhao, and we can't afford to wait for another three years.

Yuan Zhongxin opened his eyes and saw Lou Changsi looking down at him nervously. He opened his mouth only to find that his throat was dry and painful: "Father?" Yuan Zhongxin's eyes skipped Lou Changsi's eyes. , floated behind him, his eyes immediately became alert.

This is not the cave that I often think about in the prison building, but a room full of rare treasures and glittering gold. At a glance, it looks a bit like the room where Yuan Zhongxin was locked up before entering the Yinbing Pavilion for the first time, but Yuan Zhongxin knew it was not.

Behind Lou Changsi, stood Ning Qi who had just fought against him. He was staring at himself and Lou Changsi for a moment. Yuan Zhongxin didn't know if it was his own illusion. ——This look reminded Yuan Zhongxin of the sentence he heard before he passed out:

"It's obviously you who don't want me first, it's you..."

At that time, only he and Ning Qi were present, and he would never say that sentence, so only Ning Qi was left.

But why would Ning Qi say that?

Obviously this is the second time I met him, let's count the time in Wumu Village, do the two of them have anything else to do with each other?

Lou Changsi didn't know what Yuan Zhongxin was thinking, and asked uneasily, "Yici, do you feel any discomfort? Does the sword wound still hurt?"

Yuan Zhongxin was supported by Lou Changsi to sit up, and slowly shook his head: "Father, why are you here?"

Lou Changsi was also puzzled, he frowned vigilantly, turned to look at Ning Qi behind him: "I don't know, he brought me here."

Yuan Zhongxin lowered his eyes and thought, Lou Changsi's ability to get out of the cave was probably Ning Qi's intention, his eyes shifted to Ning Qi who said nothing, Yuan Zhongxin cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Father, I I have something to say to him, can you leave for a while?"

Lou Chang refused without even thinking about it: "No, it's too dangerous!"

Yuan Zhongxin's expression was unclear: "It's okay, without Ning Qi's permission, he dare not do anything to me."

Lou Changsi looked at Yuan Zhongxin, who was confident, and Ning Qi, who had unfriendly eyes, and suddenly felt a delicate coldness in his palm. He looked down and saw that it was Yuan Zhongxin who was holding his hand. Si pursed his lips, despite all his reluctance, he still obeyed his son's words, obediently got up and walked towards the door, when he walked to Ning Qi's side, Lou Changsi said with a cold face: "Ning Qi, if you dare to attack him, I will I will never let you go!"

Ning Qi stared at Yuan Zhongxin, his eyes were slightly red, he sneered inexplicably, meaningfully: "Don't worry, you know that you treasure your son, the pavilion master also ordered him to come, I will treat him well."

After Lou Changsi left, the two confronted each other silently.

Yuan Zhongxin leaned back easily, looking at ease, without the slightest impetuosity that he had in the stone hall before, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Qi: "You said you would treat me well, why don't you even have a glass of water?"

Ning Qi didn't expect Yuan Zhongxin to actually dare to order him to do things. He was a little stunned for a while, but when he realized it, he frowned dangerously, and his eyes sank in an instant, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of sinister black air.

But Yuan Zhongxin was not afraid of him at all. Compared with Ning Qi's cannibalistic gaze, he seemed much calmer, and even showed a faint yet elegant smile towards him.

Ning Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the raging killing intent in his heart, poured a glass of water roughly, and put it heavily on the chair beside the bed.

Yuan Zhongxin was not angry either, he picked up the water glass and drank it slowly.

Ning Qi said coldly: "I'm not afraid that I will poison you to death."

Yuan Zhongxin: "I said, you dare not."

Ning Qi's gloomy gaze came straight to Yuan Zhongxin, he dodged suddenly, threw the water glass in the opponent's hand to the ground, grabbed Yuan Zhongxin's collar and dragged him to him, and said harshly: "Yuan Zhongxin, you Don't be complacent, the pavilion master only told me not to kill you, but he didn't say that I can't kill you, if you put on airs for me again, believe it or not, I'll break your veins on the spot!"

The door was pushed open by a brute force, and Lou Changsi, who had been guarding the door and refused to leave, rushed in anxiously when he heard the sound of the cup breaking, seeing Ning Qi's obvious murderous intent towards Yuan Zhongxin , he shouted sharply: "Ning Qi! Let him go!"

Yuan Zhongxin looked directly at Ning Qi's dark pupils, and said calmly: "Father, it's okay, you go out first."

Lou Changsi: "But..."

Yuan Zhongxin turned his head to look at Lou Changsi at the door, and interrupted him gently: "Father, trust me, okay?"

Lou Changsi clenched his fists, retreated again, and closed the door.

The smile on Yuan Zhongxin's face disappeared immediately, and his cold gaze lightly fell on Ning Qi's face wearing a black mask: "What did you mean by that sentence before?"

Ning Qi was stunned, he naturally knew what Yuan Zhongxin said, but he didn't expect Yuan Zhongxin to hear it.

Yuan Zhongxin said calmly: "I ask myself that my memory is not bad, and I have never lost my memory. Before I came to the Yinbing Pavilion, the only people I met who were related to you were Ning Shu, Lin Yao, and a few others. A pawn sent to die by Ning Qi, I recalled all the things that happened to me since I grew up, and I don't know what kind of enmity I have with you, you want to hate me so much."

"Looking at you like this, it seems that you grew up hating me since you were young, so you should have seen me when you were very young, but I didn't know it, or you have something that I don't know memory?"

Ning Qi bit his back molars, suddenly loosened Yuan Zhongxin's collar, and looked condescendingly at him sitting on the bed: "Yuan Zhongxin, where did your chain go?"

Yuan Zhongxin's pupils trembled, and he watched Ning Qi pull out a red-headed rope from under his high collar, and a jade-white pendant hung under the rope, which was exactly the same as the one he gave to Wang Kuan—that was him. The jade pendant of the dead brother!

He changed color suddenly, gritted his teeth to maintain reason, and asked word by word: "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

Yuan Zhongxin's fury pleased Ning Qi, he unhurriedly shook the jade pendant, with a bit of schadenfreude in his tone: "Where did it come from? Naturally, I snatched it."

Yuan Zhongxin stared at Ning Qi bitterly: "You fart! This is my brother's thing!"

The smile on the corner of Ning Qi's mouth faded a bit: "Your brother? You still care about your brother..." He hooked the corner of his mouth maliciously: "Yuan Zhongxin, this jade pendant is from Ning It was snatched from the hand of Shu, do you know how Ning Shu got this jade pendant?"

Yuan Zhongxin fell into an ice cellar, speechless.

Ning Qi is not going to let Yuan Zhongxin go: "Ning Shu's jade pendant was sent out by Lou Changsi himself."
