In another courtyard away from Chuquan, Yan Xichao stood by the window, quietly listening to a young man behind him report Chuquan's latest whereabouts to him.Yan Xichao first asked him what Yan Qingyuan had said to Chu Quan in the middle of the night.The servant has received professional training and has an excellent memory. He almost repeated the conversation between the two of them to Yan Xichao.

After the boy finished his report, Zhuang Sui said to him: "Go back quickly, be careful not to make people suspicious. If there is any situation, report back." The boy quickly said yes, and retreated.

Yan Xichao didn't turn around, Zhuang Sui couldn't see his expression, so he could only call tentatively: "My lord?"

Yan Xichao took a deep breath, as if he was desperately suppressing the anger gushing out of his heart.When Zhuang Sui saw Yan Xichao's face, he was still as cold as usual.

Zhuang Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He has been with Yan Xichao for so many years, and he knows very well that this master usually doesn't get angry very much. Once he gets angry, even his most trusted person will be scared. "I didn't expect that the emperor would fall in love with Chu Quan."

"Is it strange?"

"I just think the emperor wants someone, why does he want a man?"

Yan Xichao said lightly: "Sometimes it's like this, you can have everything, but you can't have the person you want the most." Speaking of this, Yan Xichao's eyes darkened, "However, I don't allow myself to have the person you want the most." Be that kind of person."

Zhuang Sui still couldn't understand, but he was too lazy to think about these romantic things. "My lord, the spies sent out a few days ago came to report that they have entered the capital of Bixiao Kingdom."

Yan Xichao nodded, "Very good."

Zhuang Sui said excitedly: "Everything is under our control. If we go ahead according to our plan, the prince will be able to take back Dayan's country within a year."

"One year..." Yan Xichao murmured, "One year is too long, I can't wait."

Zhuang Sui was stunned, and said anxiously: "My lord, now is the critical moment, we must not rush! We have waited for seven years, do we still care about the last year?"

"I can wait, but can he wait?" Mentioning that person, Yan Xichao's heart skipped a beat, the beating was so heavy that even his chest hurt a little.

Everything he can feel, sunshine, rain, wind, even his every breath is inseparable from Chuquan.Chu Quan gave him a second life, but he...

However, Yan Xichao had to admit that if given another chance, he would still make the same choice.

"Order to go ahead and advance all the plans..."

"No!" Zhuang Sui immediately retorted, "My lord, we have finally come to this point, so we can take such a big risk because of a Chu Quan? If Grandpa knew about it, he would definitely not agree. My lord, think twice. !"

Amid Zhuang Sui's persuasion, Yan Xichao gradually calmed down.He couldn't help laughing at himself, he was clearly indifferent and unintentional, a person who could abandon even the love in his heart for the sake of his purpose, now just because he knew the emperor's intentions for Chu Quan, did he mess up his steps?It's ridiculous.

Yan Xichao rubbed between his brows wearily, "I was negligent."

Zhuang Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, my lord, one year is the most conservative estimate. If things go well, my lord will ascend to the throne of God, just around the corner."

Yan Xichao suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhuang Sui, "Where's Yunzhou?"

"That kid drank a lot at night, and he is probably still sleeping now."

"You let him pack his luggage and get ready to go. I have an important thing to do for him."

"Let's go?" Zhuang Sui was baffled. Apart from knowing some spirit control techniques, Yin Yunzhou is just a scholar with no power to restrain himself. What important things can he do? "Where does the prince plan to send him?"

"Wangchuan River. I should have gone there myself, but..." Yan Xichao saw Chu Quan lying on the boat covered in blood, eyes wide open, and his breathing became short of breath, "Let him go Find the old man who sent Chu Quan across the Wangchuan River back then, and find out what happened in the past seven years." Did Chu Quan fall asleep for seven years, or did he wake up early and just didn't want to come to him?No matter what kind of situation it was, Yan Xichao's heart ached.

The boy cautiously went all the way back to the courtyard where Chu Quan lived, and was surprised to find that the lights were still on in the main hall.He thought that some of the servants hadn't slept yet, so he didn't care. Just as he was about to go back to his room, he heard a male voice: "It's so late, where have you been?"

The boy was startled, and saw Chu Quan was wearing an inner coat and a robe over it, leaning on the pillar, looking at him with a smile.Beside Chu Quan, there were still a few bodyguards who were protecting him.

The servant forced himself to calm down, "I just have some insomnia, let's go for a walk."

"Oh?" Chu Quan raised his eyebrows, "You are quite leisurely and courageous, and you dare to wander around in this palace. But I don't know where you went? Is it the general?"

The little servant's heart sank, he lowered his head and dared not look directly at Chu Quan, "I don't know what the young master means."

Chu Quan lazily said: "It will be dawn soon, so don't pretend, just recruit early, and I can go back and sleep with the beauty."

The boy was sweating profusely, but he still bite the bullet and said, "I really don't know you, Master..."

Chu Quan sighed, shook his head, and did not continue this topic, but asked, "Have you heard of the breath of the underworld?"

"No, no."

"The breath of the underworld, the most painful punishment from hell." Chu Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling something, "Your master also used it on me. I thought it was quite interesting, so I learned it. Don't worry, it won't cause any harm to the human body, it can only bring harm to the spirit and soul." Chu Quan hooked his lips, "Well, as long as you can stay in the breath of the underworld for half an hour , I will spare your life as a dog."

The little servant went limp and collapsed on the ground powerlessly.

Chu Quan didn't do anything on the surface, just stood beside the boy and stared at him coldly.The boy showed a dazed expression at first, and within a moment, he began to yell in pain, tossing and turning on the ground, his clothes were soaked in sweat.

Chu Quan frowned and muttered, "It's so noisy, cut off his tongue."

The guard standing aside carried out Chu Quan's order without hesitation, and the servant let out a desperate scream, leaving blood all over the place.

The double torment both physically and mentally made him close to collapse. He tried his best to crawl to Chu Quan, grabbed Chu Quan's ankle, and yelled non-stop.

"Are you begging me for mercy? Uh... no, you are begging me to kill you." Chu Quan lowered his head and took a step back, "You stained my clothes, it's so annoying, it seems that your hands are also dirty. Can't stay."

The guard understood what Chu Quan meant, and cut him down again...

"Master Chu, he has passed out."

"Oh." Chu Quan walked up to the boy, kicked the hand that had just been cut off, and said softly, "I'm not a cruel person, it's just...you betrayed me, even if you wanted to kill me, I would Give you a dead body. Who told you to betray me..."

"Master Chu, what should we do now?"

"Dispose of the body."

"Corpse? But he's not dead."

Chu Quan wrote lightly; "Then let him die. By the way, give him a good time while he is unconscious now, and if he becomes a wraith, there will be an extra trouble."

"Yes!"

Chu Quan watched the guards drag him out, and then asked someone to clean up the blood on the ground. After a while, he wrapped his robe tightly and went back to the room.

Feichen was still asleep on the bed, breathing much louder than usual, Chu Quan walked to the bedside, and obviously saw Feichen's body stiffen.

Chu Quan took Feichen's hand and said softly, "Don't pretend to be asleep, I know you are awake."

Feichen opened his eyes tremblingly. In the darkness, he couldn't see the expression on Chu Quan's face, but could only see the outline of Chu Quan. "Chu, Chu Quan..."

"Have you seen it all?"

"I..." Fei Chen swallowed, thinking of the scene he just saw, he shuddered.In his opinion, Chu Quan was always gentle and personable, and he was completely different from the one who cut off people's tongues and hands with a smile just now. "Rather, why did you kill him?"

Chu Quan simply explained: "He is a spy placed by my side."

"How did you find out?"

"When the general was standing in the yard, he stood aside and peeked for a long time. I became suspicious and asked someone to follow him."

After hearing Chu Quan's explanation, Feichen's heartbeat slowed down.It's just that when he thought of the bloody scene he had just witnessed, he felt that he didn't know the man in front of him.

Chu Quan sensed Feichen's nervousness and wanted to hug him, but Feichen backed away subconsciously.

The tenderness in Chu Quan's eyes gradually dissipated, he lit a lamp, and said slowly: "Now you know what kind of person I am. I can give you another chance, you have two choices, you can choose to leave, I won't do anything to you, and I will arrange everything for you. You don't have to go back to the brothel, you can go wherever you want. If you choose to stay with me, I will treat you as well as before, or even better. But One thing, if you dare to betray me and abandon me, I will break your legs."
