Dragon?

Bi Chong'an and Qiao Xi had known each other since childhood.He is the son of a loyal minister, and he is the fifth prince. Even if the country is subjugated, their identities have not changed.

After Qiao Zhi left, Qiao Xi called Bi Chong'an into the army tent.

The two of them hadn't talked alone for a long time.Bi Chongan was slightly surprised and hurried to go.

Qiao Xi played a game of chess and invited him to sit down on the couch.

The long fingers are like jade, and the fingers are not slow or fast. The young man loosens his hair freely, and there is a smile on the corner of his lips.

Without the military uniform, he lost a little bit of his usual majesty, and a little more casual and intimate.

Bi Chong'an didn't dare to look at him, his brows were frowned, and his eyes were locked on the chessboard.

"It seems that Chong'an really wants to win this game of chess, sitting opposite me, but doesn't even look at me." Qiao Xi laughed.

"Fifth Master..." Even though he knew that he was deliberately teasing himself, Bi Chong'an could only look up at him.

"When I was young, do you remember? I said that the geese in the lake were beautiful, and you immediately jumped down to catch them for me; when you were seven years old in the scorching heat, you were afraid that I would be hot, so you brought me a piece of ice from home, and when you saw me in the palace, It's all gone; after the country is subjugated, you have to learn martial arts to protect me, and in order to learn from your teacher, you went to prison..."

Qiao Xi squinted her eyes and looked at the person sitting opposite: "Chong'an, we were not born in such a way at that time."

Holding a small chess piece in the tiger's palm, Bi Chong'an swallowed and pursed his lips.

He is stupid, I don't know what to say to him. ——Perhaps it is more appropriate not to mention it.

Not minding his hesitation, Qiao Xi stepped forward and sat a little closer.

"Chong'an, do you think Qiao Zhi can be trusted?" He tilted his head and asked casually.

Only then did Bi Chong'an realize that Qiao Xi had asked him to come here to ask about this matter.

After thinking for a moment, he replied in a deep voice: "Qiye, it is certainly believable."

Qiao Xi didn't refute, and his eyes signaled him to continue talking.

"Qi Ye is your blood relative, and what he harbors in his heart must be the desire to avenge and restore the old country..."

Qiao Xi's eyes froze.

Bi Zhong settled down, and stated based on the facts: "Over the years, most of our information has been provided by Lord Qi, and the information is true."

"Qiao Zhi is not my blood relative." Qiao Xi frowned slightly. After saying that, he seemed to hesitate again: "Actually, I don't know..."

"This seventh brother was not close to me when I was a child. His mother and concubine were once a prostitute in a brothel. It was rumored that she had an affair with a general. The late emperor alienated their mother and son because of this. I also went to the old department to investigate a few days ago. Only then did I remember... that general is Xu Zhengyang."

Bi Chong'an was horrified: "Does Qi Ye know about this?"

"Probably, I don't know..." Qiao Xi sighed: "There are too many possibilities for this matter... Besides, the identity of Prince Qiao Zhi was exposed, and he was chased and killed by people sent by Xu Zhengyang."

"You mean, maybe the two don't know each other? It's also possible that the rumors are just rumors..." Bi Chong'an still prefers that Qiao Zhi is on their side.

Qiao Xi shook his head.

"Fifth Master, in my opinion..."

Putting down the chess piece in his hand, Bi Chong'an said in a deep voice: "Qiye is like this chess piece in my hand. He is available, and we need him right now. Even if we don't know where he will go next, there are people around you who can restrain him." chess..."

"Dragon." Qiao Xi looked at Bi Chong'an.

The two looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.

……

Su Tianshi had been out of the palace for nearly a month, and Emperor Zhengyang fell ill.

When Qiao Zhi came back, he went directly to visit him in the dormitory. He didn't find a reason to explain why he left the palace, and he stood quietly by the couch.

If Emperor Zheng Yang wanted to investigate, he must have known his whereabouts.

There was a long-lasting smell of medicine in the room, the more powerful Qiao Xi was, the more deadly the palace was.

The maidservants standing in a row hung their heads like a lifeless decoration.

Joe is one of them.

The year is coming to an end, winter is approaching, and everything is dying.

He held that expressionless face, and his intense and boiling emotions were buried under several thick mounds of soil.They wait for the next spring to break ground, or to disappear silently.

A pair of trembling hands stretched out from the bed curtain, Qiao Zhi didn't pull back, and let him grab his sleeves.

"Su... Celestial Master?" The seriously ill man regained consciousness for a rare moment, but after saying a few words, he coughed again.

Qiao Zhi looked at the hand on the sleeve, dry and thin, like a branch that fell to the ground and was easily broken.

This tyrant who once held a lot of power has become so old at some point.

"Don't go away...can I...cough cough...what can I give you?" With phlegm stuck in his throat, he spoke eagerly and coughed harder.

In fact, there is no need for Tianshi Su to explain more, Emperor Zhengyang is looking forward to it day and night, only hoping that he will come back.

In order to keep the dragon, he is willing to give more things.

But what else could he give Joe?Qiao Zhi has already taken everything he can give from him, wealth, power, and unreserved trust.

"Tonight, I will interrogate Jiang Ningxu." Qiao Zhi smiled and informed him.

Emperor Zhengyang stared at the profile of the celestial master, trying to find out some emotions in his eyes that he had never expressed.

The young man had a gentle smile, without any hint of impatience, and there was even a deep hole on his face.

He has always been so disinterested in fame and wealth, and looks as indifferent as a spring breeze.As long as he smiled like this, it seemed that nothing had changed, and his walking for half a month was just his own illusion.

"Okay, okay... If you want, I'll leave it to you to interrogate." Emperor Zheng Yang heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart cleared like a flash of light: "Before that, can you sit with me for a while?"

Qiao Zhi didn't agree or sit down, but he didn't leave either.

Even though he was unwilling to close his eyes and let the celestial master leave him, Emperor Zheng Yang couldn't help but fell asleep at last, his body was dilapidated after a long illness, and he was already exhausted.

Surrounded by nightmares, Emperor Zhengyang never let go of the celestial master's sleeves, babbled nonsense.

Qiao Zhi, who was standing beside his couch, became more startled the more he heard it.

Xu Zhengyang called his mother's name again and again.

Qiao Zhi wanted to deny it, but he heard it more and more clearly. Later, he finally heard it clearly, and it couldn't be clearer.

It wasn't until Xu Zhengyang fell into a coma that he quietly left.

——In fact, whether it is true or not is meaningless to Qiao Zhi.

——His mother died a long time ago, his father died too, he has no siblings, he only has dragons.

The weather is very cold, and when I press my chest, I feel that the skin is constantly sunken, and my heart is terribly hollow.

The cold and damp water vapor soaked into the skin, and it was bitingly cold, Qiao Zhi walked step by step towards Xu Zhengyang's privately set up dungeon.

Jiang Ningxu was locked in the innermost room with several locks and heavy guards.

Seeing Qiao Zhi, surprise flashed across his face.

Although it was a dungeon, the room where Jiang Ningxu lived was covered with silk and satin, and there were all kinds of furnishings.

As early as when Emperor Zheng Yang put him in the dungeon, Jiang Ningxu knew that the person he trusted was not a wise king.But he didn't expect that Qiao Zhi could come so quickly, and he was more capable than he imagined.

"You dare to come to me alone..."

Staring at Qiao Zhi's face, Jiang Ningxu smiled and said, "You are not a dragon."

That day when he broke into the Destiny Pavilion to arrest people, the magic weapon didn't respond to Qiao Zhi, so Jiang Ningxu dared to test him with the magic weapon in the court.

Since the "Su Tianshi" in the court hall can transform the dragon, it means that he is not the same person as the one in the Tianming Pavilion.

Heavenly Master Transforming Dragon, he was put into prison immediately, Jiang Ningxu is such a smart person, he naturally kept some words from Emperor Zhengyang.

Qiao Zhi frowned: "Things, would you like to hand them over now, or after being sentenced?"

Jiang Ningxu walked to his side unhurriedly, and looked at him with dark eyes without blinking: "I am not your enemy, I did not expose your deception, did I?"

"It's just a way to save your life." Qiao Zhi was unmoved, with undisguised contempt in his tone.

"A last move to save your life? I am to you, so why not a last move to save your life."

Jiang Ningxu chuckled and said: "Since you are not a dragon, you may not be able to use that magic weapon in the future, and I am the only one who knows how to use it."

"It seems that you have chosen to hand it over after being sentenced."

Qiao Zhi's tone was cool, obviously he didn't want to waste any more time listening to him.

"Even if the person chosen by the dragon is you, once you become king, the dragon will ascend to the ascension. At that time, it will not demand anything from you like it is now."

All the large instruments of torture were put up, and Jiang Ningxu kept talking.

Qiao Zhi sat on the official chair outside the cell, sipping a cup of tea calmly.

"Half my life I have devoted myself to dragons! No one can tell you what I say next except me!"

Jiang Ningxu was put on the rack, and the guards took cloth to gag him.

He shook his head desperately, struggling and looking fierce, like a poisonous snake.

"Su Tianshi! The magic weapon is still useful now. It can make the dragon show its original shape and lose its cultivation! If you don't want to cooperate with me and destroy this magic weapon, once the dragon ascends and has the inner alchemy, the magic weapon will only be used as a magic weapon." You can temporarily lock the dragon's cultivation, but you can't damage its roots! Do you just watch it become a fairy like this? Your current position is held up by it, and you are not afraid that one day in the future, it will choose someone else as the emperor? "

The noisy sound was strictly blocked, and the cell returned to deathly silence.

Of course, just for a moment, this night is destined to be unstable.

Qiao Zhi stared at his wrist in rapt attention.

——No need to wait for ascension, the dragon has already chosen someone else.

No one else knew that when he was unhappy, he subconsciously made this action. —Look at your wrist.

There was a red string there, and when he looked at it, he remembered his wish.

That made him feel better, as if there was hope for everything.

In fact, Qiao Zhi didn't know.

There is no hope, what he wants, he cannot get.
