Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

He has lost his memory, but he knows that Du Bufan has always treated him very well. He and Ye Qingxiao have been fighting for power for many years. Although Du Bufan is the uncle of both of them, he chose to support him without hesitation. Extraordinary kindness.After he returned to Beijing, he seldom went to Du's mansion. On the surface, he alienated Du Bufan, but in fact he avoided disaster.

Since Ye Qingxiao came to the throne, Du Bufan's outward appearance remained the same, but in fact, his power in the court was not as good as before.Although Ye Chenxi had an agreement with Mo Yichen to keep Du Bufan, but he knew very well that what Ye Qingxiao promised was "don't blame the past", and if Du Bufan caused trouble again, it would be self-promoting his death.

In order to break Du Bufan's mind, Ye Chenxi gradually alienated Du Bufan.However, Du Bufan has been in business for many years and has placed all bets on him. How can he be allowed to give up easily?After these days, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to come to my door.

After lunch, Concubine Long was a little sleepy and wanted to go back to her room to rest, so Du Bufan asked Ye Chenxi to accompany him for a walk in the courtyard.

Kangwang Mansion is built near the mountain. A stream flows down from the mountain. There are pavilions along the stream. Peach blossoms are next to the water. The wind blows the fragrance, and the petals flow with the water, and the colors are gorgeous.

Du Bufan strolled along the bank of the stream, occasionally touched the beard of his chin, and sighed: "It's been a long time since we took a walk like this? Before when you suspended animation, you would be careful every time you came back, lest Ye Qingxiao find out. It's a pity that I can come back in a fair and honest manner..."

Although Ye Chenxi knew that Du Bufan would mention this matter, but now that he really heard this, he still couldn't help frowning, and said: "Those things are in the past, this king is only a general, but not a talent for governing the country." , Brother Huang is the talent for governing the country."

Hearing this, Du Bufan said angrily: "How can you grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? You are both civil and military, how can you not govern the country? What you lose is not talent, but not enough heart! If you would have listened to me back then, he would have died Mensucao, why are you here?"

Ye Chenxi was very glad that he was not cruel to Ye Qingxiao back then, he had lost his memory, he had no recollection of how Ye Qingxiao treated him cruelly back then, now all he remembered was his kindness, and he only hoped to be able to have a peaceful relationship with him Day and night.In the past, he always laughed at other people's shortness of breath and love for their children, but now he is deeply involved in it.

Ye Chenxi met Du Bufan's anxious eyes, and said earnestly: "Uncle, the emperor has been on the throne for nearly three years, but he still allows you to be in a high position. In fact, the emperor has treated you well, let the past things go. !"

"What nonsense! You have been fighting with him for many years. Do you think he will really let us go? Now he wants to stabilize the ruling and opposition parties, so he holds back for the time being. When he frees up, how can we have a happy life? Seeing Ye Chenxi's disapproval, Du Bufan became even more anxious, and continued, "The Tian family is the most ruthless. You know how his mother died back then. How could he let go of killing his mother and enemy? Even if you don't do it for yourself." For your sake, you should also think about your sister."

After hearing this, Ye Chenxi became agitated, walked to a peach tree, plucked a peach blossom, and said, "He promised to let the past go."

Du Bufan gasped, and said in disbelief: "Do you believe what he said?"

"I believe!" Just two words, firm as iron.Ye Chenxi straightened her back, still holding the peach branch in her hand, the expression between her brows was slightly restrained, replaced by firmness and calmness.

"Your Highness, haven't you learned a lesson yet? I said earlier that I would kill him, but you refused, but he buried you in Tianshan Mountain. What kind of person is Ye Qingxiao? You are the son of his mother-killing enemy. He has been fighting for power for several years, and he is still the God of War in East Vietnam, how could he let you live? Even if you believe in him, does he believe in you?"

The more Du Bufan spoke, the more excited he became, as if he hated iron but steel.Their party once forced Ye Qingxiao to leave the capital, and Ye Chenxi was only one step away from the throne, but in the end they still lost to Ye Qingxiao.After Ye Qingxiao ascended the throne, he was in constant fear, always worried that one day Ye Qingxiao would give him a glass of cold snow wine and end up dying.

There is no room for improvement in the relationship between him and Ye Qingxiao, even if Ye Qingxiao really let him go today, she might change her mind someday and settle accounts after the autumn.Ye Chenxi was his only hope, how could he let Ye Chenxi give up easily?

"Uncle, I have been fighting for the throne for many years, and now I don't want to fight anymore. As the emperor, I am indeed not as good as him." Ye Chenxi said firmly, without giving in.

"Your Highness, you..."

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need for uncle to persuade you." Ye Chenxi stood under the peach tree, his face reflected by the peach blossoms on the tree was very handsome, but his lips were tightly pursed, and the lines of his facial features looked very strong.

Du Bufan saw that he didn't give in, he was very angry for a while, and said angrily: "You will regret it one day!" After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Ye Chenxi looked at his back, feeling bitter in her heart, and couldn't help sighing softly.

The author has something to say:

Dear friends, remember to watch the prequel~~~

☆, ([-]) avoid soup and enter fire

On the seventeenth day, Ye Qingxiao hiked to Bairen Mountain in the suburbs of the capital to pray for rain, all officials accompanied her, and Ye Chenxi also accompanied her.

Ye Chenxi was escorting not far behind Ye Qingxiao. He watched Ye Qingxiao walk forward step by step. The gorgeous crown was rattled by the cold wind, and the twelve chapters on the crown were vivid. , his pair of bare boats were covered with dust, but his back was always as straight as a sword, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

At that moment, Ye Chenxi was distressed and proud.Such a person actually belonged to him.

That night, they stayed in a hotel at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.Most of the officials were elderly, they followed Ye Qingxiao on foot for most of the day, they were miserable and went to bed early.

Ye Chenxi knew that Ye Qingxiao was tired today, so she didn't dare to pester him for too long, so she helped him soak his feet, massaged him for a while, and then went back to sleep.

After Ye Chenxi left, Ye Qingxiao changed into regular clothes, summoned his guard Qin Shinan, and ordered: "Send down the order and order Longwei to stand by outside the gate. I want to go to Cangshan Mountain."

The so-called Dragon Guards are the thirty guards trained by Ye Chenxi. When Ye Chenxi handed them over to Ye Qingxiao, Ye Qingxiao bestowed them with the name Dragon Guards, and they have been guarding Ye Qingxiao's side ever since.

Qin Shinan is one of the members of Thirty Dragon Guards. He has an ordinary appearance and rough features, but has a cautious temperament, which Ye Qingxiao appreciates.He heard Ye Qingxiao say that he was going to Cangshan Mountain, so he hurriedly said: "If Your Majesty wants to go to Cangshan Mountain, is it too little to bring only thirty dragon guards?"

Ye Qingxiao neatly put on the fox fur cloak, and said: "No, just those 30 people."

"Your Majesty..." Qin Shinan was worried when he saw Ye Qingxiao insisting on going his own way, but before he finished speaking, Ye Qingxiao interrupted him: "Shinan, this matter is related to my throne, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything." , I can't let others know."

Qin Shinan was slightly startled, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, as if a stone had been crushed in his heart, it was really uncomfortable.

Ye Qingxiao approached Qin Shinan, and whispered in his ear: "Among my thirty dragon guards, you are the closest to me, and I only tell you about this matter. I must never let the third person know about it. Understand?"

Qin Shinan felt excited, straightened his back, and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ye Qingxiao's eyebrows were frowned, and her eyes were slowly stained with worry under the candlelight: "When the father passed on the throne to me, he made another will. If I lose my virtue, I will be abolished and a new one will be established. Jun. At that time, my father handed over the edict to Wang Kai, the commander of Jinyiwei."

Qin Shinan was startled, and blurted out: "Then Mr. Wang already..."

The candlelight on the candlestick jumped suddenly, and Ye Qingxiao's brows intertwined with each other, which made people feel uneasy.Ye Qingxiao pressed the center of her eyebrows and said: "That year Wang Kaiding was worried about returning to his hometown, but he encountered robbers in the suburbs of Beijing and unfortunately died."

This matter was a sensation for a while, so Qin Shinan heard about it a little, but he was concerned about Ye Qingxiao's will, so naturally he didn't care about Wang Kai's death, and asked anxiously: "What happened to the will?"

Ye Qingxiao smiled bitterly, as if she was overwhelmed, took a step back, put her right hand on the case, and said: "I only recently learned about this, and I heard that Wang Kai hid his will in a cave on the top of Cangshan Mountain before he died. It must be found, or there will be endless troubles."

Seeing Ye Qingxiao's exhausted appearance, Qin Shinan hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty is enlightened and capable. Even if the edict falls into the hands of others, they will not be able to shake His Majesty's throne."

"That being said, there will always be endless troubles if you keep this will. Tonight, I will take Longwei up to Cangshan Mountain, saying that I want to watch the sunrise. When I reach the top of the mountain, I will send them away, and I will go into the cave with you to find the will."

When Qin Shinan heard the words, his heart was pounding with excitement, and he replied loudly: "Yes!"

Ye Qingxiao's eyes flashed, and her expression was solemn: "This matter must be kept secret, even with a knife on your body, you can't say it, you know?"

Seeing this, Qin Shinan's expression changed, and he replied: "Even if I am smashed to pieces, I will not reveal this secret!"

Ye Qingxiao's expression gradually eased, she nodded and said: "Then go and summon the Dragon Guards!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Shinan respectfully saluted Ye Qingxiao, and then retreated.

Ye Qingxiao kept looking at Qin Shinan's back, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were deep.

_______________________________________________________________________________

After summoning the Dragon Guards, Ye Qingxiao threatened to go up to Cangshan Mountain to watch the sunrise, so she took them up the mountain.

Cangshan Mountain is not steep, but there are many trails, deep grass and lush forests, and you will get lost if you are not careful.

A cold moon hangs in the night sky, and the exquisite and dim light fills the mountain. Several dragon guards are clearing the way in front with lanterns. At this time, the green forest is dew cold, and the mountain wind is whistling. The rocks are rugged, Ye Qingxiao is exhausted after a day of walking, but she still drags her tired body forward.

When they walked halfway up the mountain, Ye Qingxiao suddenly lost her footing and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Shinan turned pale with shock, and immediately rushed over to help him.At this moment, Ye Qingxiao, who was half sitting on the ground, suddenly closed her eyes and fell down.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Shinan went to help Ye Qingxiao at a loss, but just halfway through the help, he found that the Longwei not far away was falling down one after another. Pulling out the long sword and slashing at his arm, forcing himself to wake up from the pain, he carried Ye Qingxiao on his back and rushed down the mountain.

Seeing this, several dragon guards also forced themselves to wake up, and followed Qin Shinan to escort him.After they rushed more than ten feet away, dozens of figures appeared, their long swords gleaming coldly under the moonlight, and they came straight towards them.

"I swear to protect Your Majesty to the death!" Qin Shinan yelled, raised his sword and rushed forward, parried a long sword that was coming towards him, swung it with his backhand, and stabbed the man's leg, taking advantage of the moment when the man retreated in pain rushed out.The other dragon guards who were still awake were in charge of breaking the back and fought with the man in black, but they had already been poisoned by the fragrance, and they could barely hold on, maybe they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Qin Shinan was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he rushed forward with Ye Qingxiao on his back. After he charged tens of feet, he tripped and fell to the ground. He tried his best to protect Ye Qingxiao, and his body bumped into the The trunk felt a dull pain, and couldn't help moaning.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was the horse rope that had tripped him just now. The man in black who was lurking behind the tree trunk saw Qin Shinan tripped, and immediately surrounded him.Qin Shinan was dizzy at this time, his body strength seemed to have been drained, his heart was full of despair, he exhausted his last strength to glance at Ye Qingxiao who was comatose beside him, and then remembered what Ye Chenxi said that day I can't help but feel sad from the words: "The minister's escort is not strong enough, and I have failed His Highness's entrustment..."

After all, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

_______________________________________________________________________________

When Qin Shinan woke up, he found himself lying in a cave, his hands and feet were bound, and his body was limp.The cave was not deep, and the cold wind howled, making people feel chills all over the body, and Qin Shinan couldn't help shivering.

"Are you awake?" A deep male voice rang in his ears. Hearing this, Qin Shinan immediately looked around the entire cave vigilantly, and found that there were only two men in black in the cave, and the others had disappeared.His heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "What about Your Majesty? What have you done with him?"

The person who spoke just now snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "He's not dead yet."

Qin Shinan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but when he thought of the current situation, he was both worried and angry: "How dare you disrespect His Majesty, let him go immediately!"

While he was speaking, his eyes flicked to the outside of the cave. At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and only a few rays of moonlight slanted down.If they can't return to the hotel before dawn, God knows what kind of chaos the officials will be in, and this group of people is obviously targeting Ye Qingxiao, and now that they are in their hands, even if King Kang finds this place, he will be afraid .

Another man in black impatiently kicked Qin Shinan in the abdomen and said, "Why are you telling him so much? Just hit him until he is willing to move."

The sudden severe pain made Qin Shinan subconsciously curl up his body, his forehead was soon covered with a layer of cold sweat, and bursts of sharp pain spread in his abdomen. In a trance, he heard the man in black asking in a rough voice: "The late emperor's Where is that legacy?"

Qin Shinan felt stunned, and reluctantly raised his head to look at the man in black wearing a face scarf, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Hearing this, the man in black kicked Qin Shinan's thigh again, and said coldly, "Don't pretend, you went up the mountain just to get back the will."

The severe pain began to spread from the thigh again, Qin Shinan gritted his teeth to bear the pain, his back was drenched in cold sweat.It wasn't until the pain gradually subsided that he said: "Your Majesty only went up the mountain to watch the sunrise, so how can there be any will?"

The man in black sneered, took out a long whip from his waist, swung it down mercilessly, and hit Qin Shinan on the right arm: "I'll see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the whip rang again, and the crisp sound of the whip echoed in the cave, which seemed particularly strange in the middle of the night. Qin Shinan gritted his teeth and did not grunt. His back was beaten to a bloody mess, and he was sweating profusely from the pain, but his heart was very firm, and he would never be the one who betrayed the monarch.

After whipping a hundred whips but getting nothing, the man in black finally got annoyed, turned his eyes to the fire in the middle of the cave, pulled out a piece of red-hot wood, put it close to Qin Shinan's chest, and threatened in a cold voice: "As long as you say it, you don't have to." Suffering again, after our lord ascends to the ninth stage of honor, you will be a hero, and the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible at that time, why do you need to think about it?"

The red-burning wood was right in front of his eyes, and the scorching heat came to his face, and the sound of burning wood was heard next to his ears, which was creepy, but it couldn't melt his heart.He turned his face away, and said coldly: "I really don't know what the will is."

"It seems to be a loyal dog. Since you don't know the current affairs, don't blame me for being ruthless." After finishing speaking, the man in black mercilessly burned the red-hot wood into Qin Shinan's chest.

Qin Shinan groaned in pain. He bit his lower lip tightly, allowing the blood on his lip to slide down his chin, and a salty taste spread in his mouth.His whole body twitched in pain, but he was very fortunate that he had never been stubborn.When his consciousness gradually dimmed, he raised his eyes to look at the sky outside the cave again, and secretly prayed in his heart that King Kang would find out that His Majesty was missing as soon as possible and find His Majesty as soon as possible.

And he, from the moment he was captured, knew that he had no way out, and just silently waited for that moment to come.

The author has something to say:

☆, ([-]) Emotional dilemma

The man in black saw that Qin Shinan looked at death like home, and couldn't help showing a touch of respect in his eyes: "I think you are a tough guy, and you are still unwilling to betray Ye Qingxiao."

Qin Shinan spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, snorted coldly, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

The man in black smiled instead of anger, took out an old silver hairpin from his sleeve pocket, threw it at Qin Shinan's feet, and said coldly, "You should recognize this silver hairpin, right?"

Qin Shinan was startled when he saw this, and then roared angrily, "What did you do to my mother?"

Another man in black came over, smiled strangely, and said, "It's not too bad now, but if you don't know the current affairs, don't blame us for being ruthless. I heard that you are a filial son, you should know how to choose."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the silver hairpin with one foot, only to hear a crisp sound, and the silver hairpin broke.Qin Shinan stared blankly at the silver hairpin that broke in two at the feet of the man in black, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression mourned.

"What's there to think about? As long as you tell the will, not only will you save your mother, but you will also enjoy endless glory and wealth." The man in black said impatiently.

Qin Shinan was in a trance for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, looked at the man in black, and said without mercy: "If my mother knows about this, she will not want me to be that unfaithful person. Your Majesty is a wise king. If I betray him, Even if I am a filial son, I don’t want to take advantage of the common people’s misfortune.”

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and stretched his neck to wait for the attack.

_______________________________________________________________________________

In the early morning of the next day, just after Ye Chenxi finished washing, a guard came in tremblingly to report the news of Ye Qingxiao's disappearance. Ye Chenxi's expression changed suddenly when she heard the words, she stepped forward anxiously, and asked in a cold voice: "What did you say?" ?”

The indifferent tone that was not inferior to the cold wind outside caused the soldier to shiver uncontrollably, and replied in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty... disappeared together with his thirty dragon guards."

Ye Chenxi tried her best to calm her breathing and force herself to calm down, but the graceful silhouette still looked too cold and hard, and the aura on her body was even more frosty, making people dare not look up.

"Have you searched the whole hotel?" His voice was low, as if he was suppressing something.

"Your Highness, I have already searched, but I have not found His Majesty." The last sentence made the soldier's speech extremely difficult, as if his throat had been pricked by a needle, and his voice trembled.

Ye Chenxi took two deep breaths to calm herself down a bit.If Ye Qingxiao was taken captive, then all the dragon guards wouldn't disappear together, it looks like they went out with Ye Qingxiao together.But now outside the palace, Ye Qingxiao only brought thirty dragon guards with her, once she was ambushed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Ye Chenxi couldn't help feeling anxious, and ordered decisively: "Go to the guard on duty last night and ask if anyone has seen His Majesty. If anyone has seen His Majesty, bring him here immediately. Ask yourself."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The soldier retreated in a hurry as if he had received an amnesty.

Ye Chenxi stayed alone in the wing room, but felt that the surroundings were terribly quiet. He even heard his own violent heartbeat, as if his anxious heart was about to jump out of his chest, which made him almost suffocate.He warned himself not to mess up his position, and to find Ye Qingxiao as soon as possible.

He took several deep breaths until the guard left and returned, so that he could continue to maintain his superficial calm. Looking at the several guards who walked in tremblingly, he asked loudly, "How is it?"

"Your Highness, these guards were in charge of guarding the door last night. They all saw His Majesty taking thirty dragon guards out, and His Majesty warned them not to make any noise."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi turned her gaze to the guards, her eyes were sharp like knives, and she asked, "Did you see which direction His Majesty is going?"

Those guards didn't dare to take a breath at first, until Ye Chenxi asked, and only one of them replied tremblingly: "Go back to Your Highness, I saw that His Majesty is going in the direction of Cangshan Mountain."

"Cangshan?" Ye Chenxi was startled, then frowned, and said to herself in a low voice: "Why did he go to Cangshan?"

Although puzzled, the most urgent task is to find Ye Qingxiao, so Ye Chenxi quickly ordered: "Send the order, all the standard guards will be divided into two teams, one team will search along the way they came, and the other team will follow the king to Cangshan Mountain. Find Your Majesty..."

Before Ye Chenxi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a clear shout: "No need!"

At the same time, a handsome figure in a leather uniform stepped over the threshold and walked in, his peerless demeanor can't help but make people's eyes shine.

Ye Youran glanced at the guards, and ordered: "You go out first."

Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and waved her hand to signal them to back off.Seeing this, all the guards withdrew like a tide, leaving only the two brothers in the room.

Since learning the news of Ye Qingxiao's disappearance, Ye Chenxi's head has been tense. Seeing Ye Youran who is calm and composed, Ye Chenxi felt a little at a loss, and asked directly: "What do you mean?"

Ye Youran hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty is not in danger, don't disturb the officials."

Ye Chenxi said excitedly: "He went up to Cangshan Mountain with only [-] dragon guards, what if he was ambush?"

"Before Your Majesty went up the mountain, I sent people to sweep it. Now Cangshan Mountain is full of my people, Your Majesty will not be in danger." Ye Youran stood upright, her tone was calm, and even her eyes were very open.

Ye Chenxi was slightly startled when she heard the words, then narrowed her eyes, stared at Ye Youran sharply, and asked, "Is there something you guys are hiding from me?"

Ye Youran looked at Ye Chenxi, and said: "We took advantage of this sacrifice to heaven and set a final test for the Thirty Dragon Guards. Only by passing this test can we stay with His Majesty."

Ye Chenxi only felt a buzzing sound in his head, his heart was beating like a drum, and he could hardly even breathe smoothly. He struggled to force out his voice and asked, "What's the test?"

"Loyalty!" After a pause, Ye Youran explained: "You should know how His Majesty was captured by the Rising Sun Kingdom in the frontier back then. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, I propose this final test. As long as they pass, in the future me and Your Majesty will They will absolutely trust them.”

How could Ye Chenxi not know about the fact that Ye Qingxiao was captured back then?At that time, the two countries were at war, the Rising Sun Kingdom had been defeated, and only some people were dying, but Ye Qingxiao's personal bodyguard, Zhu Li, hijacked Ye Qingxiao and made him fall into the enemy's hands in order to save his elder brother.

It's understandable that Ye Qingxiao wanted to test Long Wei's loyalty, but they kept it from him!He gave everything for Ye Qingxiao, but Ye Qingxiao still didn't trust him.Ye Chenxi's heart felt like a knife was twisting at this moment, the pain was so painful that even every breath seemed to be burned by a raging fire, and the flying look in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Ye Youran is a person with an exquisite mind, so she naturally understood what Ye Chenxi was thinking, and immediately said: "Don't blame your majesty, he never doubted you, he would not agree to hide it from you, but I knelt in front of him for half a night, and then He was forced to agree. In fact, he was very embarrassed."

"Because I chose Longwei, so you are worried that I have planted eyeliner in Longwei?" Ye Chenxi's voice was hoarse and his expression was tired: "You are worried that I will get the news, so you will notify my people in advance and let them take the opportunity Show loyalty, pass the test, don't you?"

"Yes!" The matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide anything anymore, Ye Youran looked at Ye Chenxi without a moment, and said: "I know you will not hurt His Majesty, but there is no guarantee that you will not keep the dark chess and use it when necessary. And I want to make sure that His Majesty is surrounded by his people and cannot betray him when necessary."

"Where's Mo Yichen? He also knows about it?" Actually, before asking, Ye Chenxi already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to hear it again, even though the answer would burn his heart like a fire.

Ye Youran's eyelids were half-drooped, and the long eyelashes covered the emotions in the eyes, only the crisp voice of jade and stones revealed a bit of guilt: "Yes, Yichen not only knows about this, but also participates behind the scenes."

Ye Chenxi sneered, with an indescribable sadness in that laugh, he gave Ye Youran a cold look, and walked away.

"Chen Xi, Your Majesty..." Ye Youran followed two steps and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Chenxi blankly: "I want to hear from him himself, don't interfere!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ye Youran and walked away.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Before and after leaving Beijing, Ye Qingxiao found an opportunity to reveal the last emperor's decree to each of the dragon guards individually, making them all think that Ye Qingxiao only trusted him, and then Ye Qingxiao set up a situation in Cangshan, taking them to Cangshan at night, Pretend to be attacked, hold them alone to torture them, and threaten their relatives when they are most vulnerable to test their loyalty.

Among the thirty dragon guards, five finally confessed the location of the will and lost their qualifications as dragon guards, leaving 25 people.When these 25 people were brought back to the foot of Cangshan Mountain, they were covered with scars, and they looked blankly at Ye Qingxiao, who was dressed in fine clothes, standing awe-inspiringly under the rising sun.

Ye Qingxiao glanced at the 25 dragon guards with a serious expression, and said: "You have passed the final test, and from now on, you are the real dragon guards, the people I trust the most, and I will not hesitate to let you go!" I leave the back to you, thank you for your loyalty to me."

Although most of the Long Wei felt awkward when they vaguely understood the truth of the matter, they immediately felt relieved when they heard Ye Qingxiao's words.When they looked at the man who was a man of heaven and earth in front of them, even though their bodies were covered with scars, their hearts were aroused with ambition and pride, even if they threw their heads and blood.

At this time, Ye Qingxiao had ordered someone to fetch several jars of rose dew, slapped open the mud, then took out a dagger, cut open the palm of his left hand, and let the blood drip into the wine.

Seeing this, all the dragon guards kowtowed in fear and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

After Ye Qingxiao dripped the blood, she ordered the guards to pour wine for the 25 dragon guards, and the aroma of the wine was immediately strong, even if she didn't drink it, she was intoxicated.Ye Qingxiao took a bowl of wine and said: "I know that you have resentment in your hearts, but I am the father of a dynasty, and I belong to the country, so I dare not trust others. I have tested your loyalty today, and I swear with blood, he There is no doubt about the day."

After speaking, he raised his neck and drank first as a respect.Before the cut palm had time to bandage, blood slid down his fingers, staining his sleeves red, but it didn't damage his dignity at all.After drinking, he threw away the porcelain bowl in his hand, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the domineering arrogance that roared across the sky made all the dragon guards stand upright.

All the dragon guards were already moved, and they took the porcelain bowls and drank them all in one gulp. After drinking, they put down the porcelain bowls and shouted long live, the voice resounded through the mountains and fields, echoing endlessly.

Ye Qingxiao ordered people to bring the excited dragon guards back to the hotel to heal their wounds. Just as they were about to leave, they saw a person riding fast one by one. , Everyone who saw it felt uneasy.

Ye Qingxiao's eyes were half drooped, and she hid her injured left hand behind her back, waiting for Ye Chenxi's arrival.

Ye Chenxi reined in the horse's reins in front of Ye Qingxiao, flew off the horse, glanced at everyone present, and then turned her gaze to Ye Qingxiao, that gaze was as fierce as a cold wind, making people tremble: "Aren't you owe me an explanation?"

Ye Qingxiao said to the guards around her: "You all step down, King Kang will protect me."

Although the guards felt that the atmosphere was weird, but the king's order was hard to violate, so they had to retreat.

It wasn't until the two of them were left in this empty mountain field that Ye Qingxiao raised her eyes to look at Ye Chenxi, her eyes were disturbed: "You already know..."

"If I didn't know the truth, I would have brought my guards to look for you like crazy at this moment. I have given everything to you. I don't want the world. I give military power with both hands. I just want to be an idle prince who is laughed at. I thought you You already understand my sincerity, but it turns out...it's all my wishful thinking!"

Ye Chenxi's expression was ashen, her tone was agitated, and her eyes seemed to gather a storm, which was frighteningly fierce.Seeing this, Ye Qingxiao immediately hugged him, and explained: "Chen Xi, no! I have always believed in you, but Youran wants me to explain to the people all over the world. He has a stubborn temperament and refuses to get up after kneeling for half a night. , I agreed to him out of helplessness."

"You can't bear to hurt Ye Youran, but you have the heart to hurt me. Do you know how I feel when I hear the truth? I hold my sincerity in front of you, but you are so heartless to cut a knife. Should I bear it with a smile? Ye Qing Xiao, you are so cruel!" Ye Chenxi became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally pushed Ye Qingxiao away, Ye Qingxiao staggered a few steps, almost fell down, and managed to stabilize her body.

The moment Ye Qingxiao was about to fall, Ye Chenxi almost reflexively stretched out his hand to help him, but as soon as he moved his hand, he came back to his senses, held it back forcibly, and stared at him with a blank expression. Ye Qingxiao's eyes are sharp like knives.

Ye Qingxiao froze in place, although Ye Chenxi's gaze was cold and frightening, but he still slowly met Ye Chenxi's gaze without retreating: "Chenxi, you should know what kind of person I am, if you don't Believe you, I will never hand over Longwei to you for training. I am the one who makes the final decision on this matter. I know that I ignored your feelings. It is my fault. But you have to believe me, it is definitely not me Intention."

The morning light pierced through the clouds and fell to the ground, illuminating their pale and sad faces, and the originally melodious mountain birdsong was a bit sad to the ears.At this moment, Ye Qingxiao suddenly understood that the saddest thing in this world is not being relatively silent, but that no matter how much you say, you can't convince the other party.

At this moment, Ye Chenxi's heart was as cold as embers, and she didn't want to say much, but just let out a cold snort and walked away.

Ye Qingxiao was startled when she saw this, and immediately grabbed Ye Chenxi's hand, but was thrown away. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Chenxi mounted the horse and galloped away, rolling up a wave of yellow sand on the ground.

It wasn't until Ye Chenxi's figure gradually disappeared that Ye Qingxiao looked back and covered her face with her sleeves.They have gone through the fright and split the shore, thinking that they will finally be together, but unexpectedly, a crack appeared in this experiment.

After a long time, Ye Qingxiao's emotions calmed down a little. He was about to walk forward, but he accidentally saw a broken old pine tree not far away. At the broken place, he saw circles of annual rings on it. , he seemed to see that he and Ye Chenxi had experienced ups and downs in the long years, and it was like cutting out a heart with a knife.At the end, all thoughts turned into a broken call: "Chen Xi..."

The man in black saw that Qin Shinan looked at death like home, and couldn't help showing a touch of respect in his eyes: "I think you are a tough guy, and you are still unwilling to betray Ye Qingxiao."

Qin Shinan spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, snorted coldly, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

The man in black smiled instead of anger, took out an old silver hairpin from his sleeve pocket, threw it at Qin Shinan's feet, and said coldly, "You should recognize this silver hairpin, right?"

Qin Shinan was startled when he saw this, and then roared angrily, "What did you do to my mother?"

Another man in black came over, smiled strangely, and said, "It's not too bad now, but if you don't know the current affairs, don't blame us for being ruthless. I heard that you are a filial son, you should know how to choose."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the silver hairpin with one foot, only to hear a crisp sound, and the silver hairpin broke.Qin Shinan stared blankly at the silver hairpin that broke in two at the feet of the man in black, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression mourned.

"What's there to think about? As long as you tell the will, not only will you save your mother, but you will also enjoy endless glory and wealth." The man in black said impatiently.

Qin Shinan was in a trance for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, looked at the man in black, and said without mercy: "If my mother knows about this, she will not want me to be that unfaithful person. Your Majesty is a wise king. If I betray him, Even if I am a filial son, I don’t want to take advantage of the common people’s misfortune.”

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and stretched his neck to wait for the attack.

In the early morning of the next day, just after Ye Chenxi finished washing, a guard came in tremblingly to report the news of Ye Qingxiao's disappearance. Ye Chenxi's expression changed suddenly when she heard the words, she stepped forward anxiously, and asked in a cold voice: "What did you say?" ?”

The indifferent voice that was not inferior to the cold wind outside made the soldier shiver uncontrollably, and replied in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty... together with his Thirty Dragon Guards
