Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

He tightly grasped the dagger in his hand, and slowly drew it out, the sharp blade of the dagger shone with a cold light.

He bought this on purpose before, naturally for self-defense, but... has a vague feeling that this dagger is useless right now.Although at first glance there was only Liu Shi driving the car outside, but He Yun and He Yu were watching in the dark. To be more sure, he specially asked them to find a few off-duty nursing homes from the Qi family, saying that someone was watching He's dead, please ask them for help for a few days, don't say anything, catch it and talk about it later.

He is Qi Yun's nephew, and everyone knows that the Qi family values ​​this nephew, and such a thing is not a problem, and he can be rewarded if he does it well, so these few people agreed.

Qiao Mo originally thought that the accident happened in the past few days, but now he felt more clearly that it was today.

The carriage kept moving forward, and when it reached a turning point, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Qiao Mo's heart tightened: "Liu Shi?"

No one answered the car door, and Qiao Mo didn't dare to check it immediately. He listened carefully, and could vaguely hear the sound of fighting not far away.He Yun and the others who must have been hiding in the dark were discovered.You must know that although He Yun and the others are guards, they are really good at reaching out. There are five people in total, so it shouldn't be able to resist.After all, this place is very close to the lively street, even if there are people with evil intentions, they dare not bring too many people to hijack them. With the same number of people, how could He Yun and the others be defeated?

Who is the other party?And why against him?

He thought about this question for a long time without an answer.

Seeing that He Yun couldn't stop him, Qiao Mo felt that he could no longer sit still, so he lifted the curtain of the car, jumped out of the car, and ran to the street.He only heard a gust of wind behind him, followed by a pain in the back of his neck, and he lost consciousness.

When Qiao Mo regained consciousness and woke up, he felt his surroundings were shaking all the time and his head hurt a little.Someone helped him up, held a glass of water to his lips, and instinctively drank a couple of sips. His thinking became much clearer. Remembering that something had happened to him before, he immediately vigilantly pushed away the people around him and sat up.

Only then did he see clearly that he was in a carriage, which was well laid out comfortably and carefully, and the person sitting in the carriage made his eyes widen and he was terrified in his heart.

——Situ Xuan!

Why is he here?Didn't the emperor put him in prison?I heard that outsiders can't enter without an imperial decree, but he sat here so leisurely, except for his slightly thinner face, his complexion and demeanor were the same as before, including the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You..." Qiao Mo felt a little afraid of Situ Xuan deep in his heart, subconsciously backed away, and this retreat also found a change in himself.This dress is obviously not the one he wore before. The bright blue material is silky and soft, and the embroidery is exquisite and labor-intensive. There is also a warm and moist jade pendant around the waist. You can tell without looking at it, and the hair must be done again. pass.

Pian Situxuan took a mirror, and asked with a smile: "See if you are satisfied, it's all your favorite clothes."

Qiao Mo just wanted to refute, but was shocked by the appearance of the person in the mirror.If the person in the mirror is silent, at first glance he looks like an aristocratic son, but what surprises him is not this, but the familiar attire, which he saw in Qi Yun's study, which was left by Qi Nan on his birthday image.Qi Yun specially showed him some of Qi Nan's things, among which this portrait is the most precious.

This, this Situ Xuan really regarded him as Qi Nan's substitute, and even got a little crazy.

Qiao Mo took a deep breath, and asked him directly without resisting needlessly or talking nonsense, "Where are you taking me?"

"Naturally go to a good place." Situ Xuan groaned with a smile, but he didn't show the slightest hint, which made Qiao Mo wonder if he was really crazy, why he was so rational and cautious.

Listening to the carriage moving forward quickly, Qiao Mo guessed that he must have left the capital.This Situ Xuan really could bear it, in order to escape smoothly, he endured the terrible situation in the sky prison all the time, and only escaped after waiting for the emperor's imperial conscript to leave.Qiao Mo didn't have much interest in how he escaped.

"What happened to He Yun and the others?" It was impossible for Qiao Mo not to care about how many lives were lost, especially since He Yun and He Yu had been with him for a long time.

"Not dead." Situ Xuan didn't have a strange expression on this, but he also refused to talk about their specific situation.

Qiao Mo found that it was really different.

Situ Xuan, who had pretended to approach him before, had a good temper and was easy to talk to, but now this Situ Xuan was different, revealing his unconcealed intentions, which made Qiao Mo, who had a keen sense, very uncomfortable, as if there were thousands of pairs of eyes always looking at him. Staring at himself, kept looking.Once they stopped talking to each other, the atmosphere became very stagnant, and the air was heavy, and the pressure was heavy on the heart, making it hard to breathe.

Qiao Mo took a long breath and asked a very sensitive question: "Why did you kill me?"

According to Situ Xuan's character and methods, he shouldn't be so rude and decisive.

Situ Xuan's eyes changed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit cruel: "Ah Nan, why am I willing to hurt him? It's just that Mo Wenxuan is really an eyesore. If he is willing to follow me, maybe I will stay in Mo Wenxuan with good intentions." Wenxuan dies. But he refuses to say anything, and Mo Wenxuan dares to mock me, well, if that's the case, let them go underground to make love."

"Are you really..." Qiao Mo didn't know how to ask for a while, Situ Xuan was so possessive, he was able to use himself as Qi Nan's substitute after more than ten years, and he would have killed them both so kindly back then ?

Situ Xuan seemed to understand what he was thinking, and suddenly let out a deep laugh: "You are as smart as Ah Nan. You guessed it right, how could I be so cheap to them, since you don't want to live with me, then after death Always stay by my side."

Speaking of which, Situ Xuan looked towards a part of the carriage, where there was an exquisite and small three-color glazed plum bottle, which was a treasure at first glance, but Situ Xuan's eyes were not looking at the bottle, but with affection pulse, like looking at a beloved lover.

Qiao Mo seemed to think of something, and his whole body trembled - Qi Nan's ashes?

"With this bottle here, he can't be reincarnated. He can only stay with me day and night." Situ Xuan caressed the glazed plum bottle lovingly, smiling very gently.

However, Qiao Mo had goose bumps all over his body, and felt that the whole carriage was blowing with a gloomy wind.

The ancients were not like modern cremation. Burning a person to ashes in ancient times undoubtedly made people die without a whole body and could not be reborn as a human being again. There is nothing more vicious than this.This Situ Xuan didn't look abnormal on the outside, but there was always a madness hidden in his heart. It's not surprising that such a person wants to rebel.

only……

Qiao Mo has a deeper understanding of his own situation, and it is even more difficult to escape.

At this time, Qi Yun was hurriedly invited back from the palace, and learned the news that Qiao Mo had been kidnapped.

It was He Yun who delivered the news.

He Yun and He Yu were placed next to Qiao Mo by Qi Yun in order to prevent the real culprit of the tragedy from attacking again. They are very skillful and alert. The only thing to do is to send the news, otherwise the Qi family would not know the inside story, let alone be able to rescue them.He Yun and He Yu have been together all year round, and they have a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other's meaning with just one look, so He Yu used cover to let He Yun escape.

After all, Qi Yun is an old fox in the officialdom, so he immediately thought of Situ Xuan.

Qiao Mo is just the nephew of the Qi family who has been missing for more than ten years. His personal relationship is very simple, and the only Ma family in Fengcheng who has a grudge is also defeated.If the political opponents of the Qi family want to use Qiao Mo to vent their anger or threaten them, the possibility is not very high. He Yun and He Yu have a total of five people who are not simple. Which political opponent would have such ability or blood to attack Qiao Mo?

What's more, it was hijacking, there was no sign of harm at all, and He Yun and others were dragged away as soon as he made a move, and Qiao Mo was taken away.

In the entire capital, only Situxuan, the former king of Kangjun, has the motivation and ability, but Situxuan has been imprisoned in the sky prison, and there is no news of his escape until now.

In order to be cautious, Qi Yun immediately went to the Zong Ling of the clan's mansion and asked to see if Situ Xuan was still in the prison.Zong Ling naturally disagreed at first, even though Qi Yun was high and powerful, Zong Ling did not dare to disobey the emperor's order.Zong Ling was shocked until Qi Yun told the reason, and hurriedly took Qi Yun to the prison together.

Situ Xuan was locked up in the deepest cell, and Zong Ling was relieved to see him sitting on the broken straw mat with his back as usual.

Qi Yun suddenly raised her voice, "Tell him to turn around."

"What?" Zong Ling was puzzled for a moment, and although he didn't quite believe it when he realized it, he couldn't help but beat his heart.The emperor's personal conquest went to Jincheng, if something went wrong with the felon who was imprisoned for treason that day, how would he explain it?

So Zongling hurriedly called someone to open the cell door.

The sitting person turned around when he heard the noise, even though he was only wearing white clothes and his hair was loose, even though his face was somewhat similar to Situ Xuan's, he was not himself after all.

"Who are you?! Where's Situ Xuan?" Zong Ling's eyes were full of horror, thinking that the real King of Kang County had escaped at this time, and the result...

Qi Yun had a certain amount of mental preparation and was fairly calm, but her face was also extremely ugly.Immediately said to Zong Ling: "The most urgent task is to find Situ Xuan back."

"I also ask Grand Tutor Qi for advice." Although Zong Ling is a member of the royal family, he is still inferior to Qi Yun in terms of favor and trust.

"This matter should not be made public, lest people panic. If it spreads to the ears of the border emperor, Long Yan will be furious. It is you and me who are blamed. It is a small crime. It is a big crime to affect the war at the border. Situ Xuan is a rebel. This time You and I can't do things arbitrarily, and now His Royal Highness is in charge of the country, so I should report to the prince to know." Even though Qi Yun was very anxious, he couldn't make mistakes in this kind of matter.

"Yes, yes, report to the prince immediately." Zong Ling also came to his senses, not because he was ignoring the prince, but because the prince is only a ten-year-old half-old child, and the general government affairs are handled by the four auxiliary ministers. , the prince followed suit, and the so-called supervision of the country to make decisions was just a formality.

But the imperial power is like this, no matter what the form is, the procedure cannot be wrong, otherwise if one charge is deducted, the official career will be ruined, and the life will be lost at the worst.

After all, the prince was young, and he hadn't experienced many things, his face changed in shock when he heard the news.Fortunately, there were four ministers who stabilized the crown prince, and they discussed the regulations as soon as possible, and the decision was conveyed immediately.

Although Qi Yun didn't want to associate Qiao Mo with a rebel, he was worried that the imperial court would slander him, so he had to explain that Situ Xuan had kidnapped Qiao Mo before leaving Beijing.Several other adults, including the young crown prince, all looked stunned. After all, since the defeat of Situ Xuan, the nobles in the capital who are good at gossip have heard about Qi Nan, Qiao Mo and other personnel.

Seeing this, Qi Yun was even more annoyed. Even though Situ Xuan was caught and hacked into pieces, Qiao Mo could no longer stay in the capital.Maybe it's good, anyway, this nephew never wants to live in the capital for a long time, the capital is always too complicated.
