Looking at Xiao Yuankui who sometimes laughed and sometimes howled like crazy, Xiao Ran decided to give him more excitement.

"I regret to tell you that that night, I did nothing and spent the night in the Taoist temple."

"What? No...why?"

"Because the queen came in later and interrupted my conversation with Miss Jing, and drove me away. I was afraid that I would be bothered by you if I went back like this, so I went directly to the Taoist temple and spent the night, and when I went back the next day, I lied to you about me. It worked."

After hearing what Xiao Ran said expressionlessly, several old men from Xiao Yuankui's faction couldn't help looking at Xiao Yuankui with sympathetic eyes.It's a pity that Xiao Yuankui, with all his ambition and ability, ended up giving birth to such a retarded son.

Faced with everyone's sympathetic gazes, veins popped out of Xiao Yuankui's forehead.No wonder, no wonder none of the people I sent out came back.I should have thought of it earlier!Why was it neglected!

"You bastard! You bastard! Since you didn't succeed, why did you help Jing Yannian so much! Do you still think of me as a father!"

"No." Xiao Ran smiled, and spit out the cruelest words, "For so long, you haven't realized that I never let you call 'Daddy'? How can you be so indifferent to your son? What father?"

"you……"

Xiao Yuankui roared hoarsely, but choked on his own saliva, and coughed repeatedly.When he finally calmed down, Xiao Ran seemed as if he was not angry enough with him, and asked again: "Now, do you still look down on women?"

"You... what do you mean by being unfilial?" Xiao Yuankui's eyes were wide open, looking down on women?ha?Why should he look up to it!A woman is just a tool for a man to carry on the family line, why should Xiao Yuankui think highly of him!

"What? Don't you regret it? Do you think that even raising your daughters who are either locked up by you or married off by you is better than dragging me, the eldest son who is a waste of time?"

Seeing Xiao Ran with a big beard on his face, with unconcealable gloating in his eyes, Xiao Yuankui suddenly felt strange, the eldest son in front of him seemed no longer the trash he used to be.After staring blankly at Xiao Ran for a long time, Xiao Yuankui sighed suddenly: "If only you could use your thoughts on women to help me..."

"Painting? No! I didn't spend my time on women at all! Why don't you admit that you lost to Miss Jing, to Her Majesty the Empress, and to a woman you despise?"

"Losing? Hahahaha? I lost, but I definitely didn't lose to these little girls, but..." Sui Xiao Yuankui yelled angrily as he thought of something: "Hmph, women, it's just a matter of defeating me today." Her luck, if I also have those artifacts that she owns, yes! If I also have those artifacts, then the throne..." Xiao Yuankui said while dreaming, the light in his eyes became more and more bright.

"Heh—" Xiao Ran shattered Xiao Yuankui's fantasy with a low smile, "More than half of the artifacts you mentioned were made by the students of the women's college!"

"What? They made it? But why did you bring back only those low-end gadgets?" Xiao Yuankui stared at Xiao Ran, suddenly understood something, and angrily cursed loudly: "I understand, you never You betrayed me from the very beginning! That’s why you purposely used those gadgets to confuse me and make me lose my guard against the Queen! Ha! Hahahaha! I, Xiao Yuankui, really raised a good son!”

"Did you lose your guard against the queen later? You obviously despised the queen from the beginning! Tsk tsk tsk, look at how miserable you are now, be your prime minister well, don't think about rebellion, you won't be what you are now It's over, but why can't you think about it?"

For people he detests, li xuan's poisonous tongue can really piss people off.

"Ha, you're talking about me? What about you?" Xiao Yuankui blushed, and after another violent cough, he looked at Xiao Ran sarcastically, "Look at how you are now, how you helped Jing Jing like that, Aren't you a prisoner with me now? Nizi, let me tell you, even if I go to Huangquan Road, you will be with me!"

"What if I don't accompany you? Maybe I'm just a show

?After all, I've helped Miss Jing so much, so it's impossible for her to ignore me, right? "Xiao Ran is actually not sure, but right now, she can only pin her hopes on Jing Yan. In this world, it is very difficult to live at this point. However, for herself, it may not be that difficult. Really No, the big deal is to expose yourself as "Xue Leifeng". Compared with facing the powerful queen, Xiao Ran wants to complete the task more.

She doesn't want to be completely obliterated, she wants to live!

Xiao Ran didn't know how long Xiao Yuankui had been cursing. He was tired of cursing, and he was tired of hearing it. In this dark dungeon, Xiao Ran slowly closed his eyes.The night passed, and when she opened her eyes again, what she saw were the officers and soldiers who broke into the dungeon suddenly.

"Your Majesty ordered that the two father and son be separated and interrogated separately!"

"What are you going to interrogate? What are you going to interrogate? I'm all here! You just want to torture me!" Xiao Yuankui scolded for almost a whole night. Li, unable to struggle, "If you have found any evidence, just give me a good time! Torturing me like this is indeed a shameless act of a woman!"

"Shut up! Your Majesty said that the letters found from Xiao's house only explained your collusion with the enemy country, and there must be many corrupt officials in this dynasty who are collaborating with you. Your Majesty can remember all the accounts these years." , now it’s time to settle them one by one!”

And Xiao Ran, from the beginning to the end, was very cooperative with the officers and soldiers, but when she was about to be taken away, he asked softly: "Can I see Jing Zhuangyuan?"

"Hehe, what are you still thinking about? You are just a prisoner now, and you still want to see Jing Zhuangyuan, dream about it!" The officers and soldiers under the empress naturally didn't have any good feelings for Xiao Ran, and he pushed hard With a push, Xiao Ran staggered forward several steps.

After Xiao Ran was brought into the discipline room and saw all kinds of horrific instruments of torture, his heart also slowly cooled down.You don't really want to die tragically in this world, do you?

When Xiao Ran was tied to the rack, Jing Yan on the other side was still begging Yin Zhan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, please let Young Master Xiao go? The fact that Xiao Yuankui colluded with the enemy to rebel has nothing to do with Young Master Xiao! Young Master Xiao told me about the secret compartment in Xiao Yuankui's study!"

Yin Zhan looked at Jing Yan, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and said angrily, "Jing Xuan, haven't you seen Xiao Ran's true face until now? He even betrayed his own father. Pretending to be in front of you is counting on such a situation, a fool like you jumped out to save him!"

"No, it's not, Your Majesty!" Jing Yan knelt down in front of Yin Zhan with a "plop", "Your Majesty, Young Master Xiao never stood by Xiao Yuankui's side from the very beginning..."

"Okay, stop talking, you'll know right away if he is the person you said!" Yin Zhan turned his face away from looking at Jing Yan who was kneeling in front of him, and the resentment towards Xiao Ran deepened in his heart.It's all because of Xiao Ran, now she can clearly feel that her friends are not familiar with her!She raised her voice and called the guards outside the door to bring Xiao Yuankui over.

After a while, the guards dragged Xiao Yuankui in who was covered in welts all over his body.Under Yin Zhan's signal, the two guards simply threw the half-dead Xiao Yuankui to the ground, turned around and continued to guard the door.Through the messy long hair in front of him, Xiao Yuankui saw Yin Zhan who was tall and full of murderous intent in front of him. For the first time, he was terrified by the aura of a woman.

"Xiao Yuankui, are you convicted?"

Xiao Yuankui shook his body tremblingly, knelt on the ground with his whole body, and his hoarse voice was like a dilapidated bellows, "The criminal is guilty."

"Up and down, what other accomplices do you have, can you recruit them all?"

"All the criminals have been recruited..." In fact, no matter how majestic Xiao Yuankui was before, he was a weak scholar. While he despised Xiao Ran's lack of manliness, he completely ignored that he was also half-hearted.So when he received the first lash, Xiao Yuankui confessed all his snot and tears, from the first-rank officials to the ninth-rank officials.It may also be that this caning beat Xiao Yuankui's arrogance away. Xiao Yuan, who was clinging to the ground and trembling at this moment,

Kui is like a bereaved dog in a mess.

"All recruited? It seems that you haven't been beaten up yet? Why didn't you tell me what good thing did your good son Xiao Ran do?"

The queen doesn't trust Xiao Ran!

Xiao Yuankui immediately guessed Yin Zhan's meaning, he secretly glanced at Jing Yan who was kneeling on the other side, his eyes turned hard, he kowtowed again, and said to Yin Zhan: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is guilty, the guilty I shouldn't have shielded my only son!"

After hearing Xiao Yuankui's words, Jing Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Xiao Yuankui, you..."

Before Jing Yan could finish speaking, Yin Zhan raised his voice and interrupted Jing Yan: "Then tell all about your son's crimes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The unfilial son of the criminal minister, he was the first to instigate the criminal minister to overthrow your Majesty's regime. On the surface, he refused to accept that you sit on the throne as a woman, but in fact...actually..."

"Actually what?"

"Actually, the dog has been coveting your majesty's beauty for a long time! He persuaded his ministers to rebel, just thinking that one day he could sit on the throne and at the same time imprison you, your majesty, and become a prison for him to vent his desire!" Xiao Yuankui said After that, a sternness flashed in his eyes.Good son, how do you say that we are a father and son, on the way to Huangquan, how can you have the heart to leave your old husband behind?

"presumptuous!"

Along with Yin Zhan's angry roar, Jing Yan's terrified scream sounded at the same time: "No—you're talking nonsense!"

Xiao Yuankui glanced again at Jing Yan, who was blushing from crying and wanted to defend Xiao Ran, with a look of revenge on his face: "The guilty minister has reached such a point, and I know that death is inevitable, so every sentence I say is from the bottom of my heart. , I implore Your Majesty to be aware!"

"Of course I will see clearly!"

After Yin Zhan finished speaking with a sullen face, he wanted the guards to come in again to take Xiao Yuankui away, but Jing Yan crawled several steps towards her on his knees until he reached Yin Zhan.She raised her head, clenched her heart tightly, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she said loudly to Yin Zhan: "Your Majesty, the master of the world that I mentioned before is actually Mr. Xiao! The governance plan of the two states back then, It was Mr. Xiao who gave the engineering drawings for the solution. Your Majesty, the guns and cannons used by your army, as well as bows and bows. Those drawings were given by Mr. Xiao, even small items such as glass mirrors and glass cups. , is also Mr. Xiao..."

"Enough!" Listening to Jing Yan's increasingly outrageous words, Yin Zhan stopped coldly: "Jing Zhuangyuan, in order to save your lover, you are quite capable of going all out!"

Xiao Yuankui also showed a sarcastic smile on his face pressed against the ground. Could it be his useless son who is obsessed with women?

"Your Majesty..." Jing Jing knew that Yin Zhan didn't believe his words, wiped the tears from his face, and began to explain to Yin Zhan seriously: "Your Majesty, you didn't realize that the ang you have been using now, regardless of Mohist No matter how hard the disciples worked, the ang they made later was not as exquisite and small as the one you used? Because the only ang you are using was made by Mr. Xiao himself!"

Yin Zhan's face became even uglier when he thought of the silver ang that he took with him every day and cared for it like a baby.

"Also, if you don't believe in Young Master Xiao's talent, Your Majesty, you can directly verify it! It just so happens that there is something wrong with the newly developed cannon carriages recently developed by the disciples of the Mohists according to the artillery blueprints. You can directly test Young Master Xiao. See Let's see if he can answer it!"

Yin Zhan took out the exquisite ang that he carried with him, neither throwing it away nor keeping it.She glanced at the pleading in Jing Yan's eyes, sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, get up, I'll go and verify it with you now, if Xiao Ran can't answer, then don't Plead for him again!"

Jing Jing stood up excitedly and nodded repeatedly.She knew that it was impossible for Xiao Ran not to be able to answer the question about the gun car, so this time, Young Master Xiao was saved.

As for Xiao Yuankui, he was foolishly dragged up by the guards, and kept muttering: "Impossible! Impossible, this is not my son! This is not my useless son!"

Jing Yan followed Yin Zhan to the door of the discipline room, saw Xiao Ran hanging on the torture rack with his head down, unable to see his face clearly, with blood-red welts on his body, and immediately yelled in distress: "Mr. Xiao! "

Xiao Ran, who was so painful that he fainted several times and woke up again, heard Jing Jing's voice in a daze. After that, he squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Jing... girl... you, here..."

"Yes, yes, I'm coming!"

Jing Yan couldn't wait to urge the guards to open the cell door, Yin Zhan couldn't see the two of them being so "in love", snorted coldly, and took the lead to enter the discipline room after the cell door opened.Jing Yan also followed closely behind, following in.Holding back her tears, she quickly told Xiao Ran about the difficulties encountered by the disciples of the Mohist school when they built the cannon carriage, and then softly comforted: "Young Master Xiao, listen to me, as long as you solve these problems now, His Majesty will trust you It is the master who has been teaching me knowledge, you... His Majesty will let you go out..."

"Hmph, when did I say that?" Yin Zhan, who was watching the two coldly, retorted dissatisfied.

"His Majesty!"

"Okay, let's answer it first!" Now the gun cart is also a powerful weapon that Yin Zhan attaches great importance to at the moment, and she doesn't want to let such a weapon die.She has already killed the eldest prince of Yunguo, and the war with Yunguo is inevitable. Therefore, if the cannon cart can be built, her chances of winning will be even greater!

Jing Yan is not very thorough in the study of these weapons, not even as much as the disciples of the Mohist school, so Xiao Ran's understanding of the questions she relayed was also foggy.After Xiao Ran casually asked Jing Ting Ning a few professional questions, only to get Jing Ting Ning shaking his head in a daze, he sighed helplessly and said softly: "Well then, I'll draw a new blueprint of the cannon carriage for you. Okay?" If you can rely on the blueprints to be rescued without revealing your hidden identity from Yin Zhan, that would be great.

"Okay! Of course!" Jing Jing is also very happy. With the blueprints drawn by Xiao Ran, the cannon carts he can build must be fine. Moreover, as long as Xiao Ran can draw blueprints, it will prove his talent even more.

Yin Zhan, who was silently watching the conversation between the two, listened to the somewhat familiar gentle tone, and for the first time, took a serious look at this person whom he had always looked down upon.Staring at the bearded face, Yin Zhan suddenly felt that the familiarity of those exquisite eyebrows made his heart beat faster.As if to verify the absurd guess in her heart, Yin Zhan interrupted the conversation between the two, and lifted up the messy hair covering Li Ran's face, and then, she saw the familiar scar on Li Ran's forehead.

"breeze……"

Following Yin Zhan's trembling voice, Xiao Ran felt a pain in his cheeks, and when he stared at Yin Zhan inexplicably, he saw her pinching his beard.
