Qi Huang

The night was stained with frost, Li Jin covered his face with a large sleeved robe, and drank his third cup of tea tonight.After living for decades, it was the first time he felt what it meant to be on pins and needles.

In order to ensure the safety of Mr. Li, the group of servants who were beaten up and down stood up tenaciously, and stood outside the window together with another group of unspeakable "private soldiers" to continue to protect Li Jin.In order to avoid obstructing the line of sight, before the three of them sat down, the servants "considerately" left a window.

The cold wind slipped into the house along the window cracks, and Li Jin put his hands into his sleeves to keep warm.He lowered his eyes, thinking about something in his heart, and besides thinking, there was a subtle embarrassment on his face.

Because the two people who were face to face with him were talking to each other affectionately.

"Is it cold?" He heard Feng Jiuyuan ask in a low voice.

Xie Xuan nodded, then shook his head: "It's okay."

"Don't hold on, just give me your hand if it's really cold, and I'll warm you up."

Feng Jiuyuan spoke in a soft voice, so it gave people a sense of control.Now he uttered word by word with the cool breeze, like soft fists hitting Li Jin's head after another.

It hit him more and more like a light on his back.

Xie Xuan smiled, and really handed over her hand: "How do you want to keep warm?"

Feng Jiuyuan paused, a tinge of red behind her ears: "His Thirteenth Highness..."

Li Jin: "..."

If you talk about acting, then Feng Jiuyuan's acting is too similar.

Li Jin thinks he knows people very well.Li Jingyang once said that Feng Jiuyuan was like his father Feng Yi, who only knew how to guard a small area in the northern border, and did not dare to venture into it, nor did he dare to seek something for the Feng family.So when Li Jingyang planned to use Li Ranran's toast to let the Li family and the Feng family stand on the same rope, he did not stop him.

But at that time, Li Jin actually thought otherwise. He thought that Feng Jiuyuan must have deeper and wider thoughts.Let Li Ranran test it out, maybe he can really test it out.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuyuan did not refuse the glass of wine.

Now seeing this scene, he began to reflect on himself, could it be that he was really wrong?

Xie Xuan's hands were as cold as iron, visible to the naked eye, and there was no trace of blood on the fingertips. When he raised his hand, it seemed that he could disappear on the spot like a fairy.

These hands were held in Feng Jiuyuan's arms, rubbing and exhaling constantly, and finally they were willing to turn a little red.

"How do you feel now?" Feng Jiuyuan bowed his head and kissed Xie Xuan's fingertips as if no one else was there, "If you still feel cold, Your Highness can go a little further."

Xie Xuan: "How can I be willing to..."

"cough!"

Li Jin stayed for a long time, and also witnessed the love between the two of them for a long time, and finally couldn't listen anymore: "Xie Xuan, what do you want to do?"

"Ah." Xie Xuan came back to his senses, as if he finally remembered Li Jin's existence, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot the business."

He sat up straight and put his hands on the table, as if he was going to talk about business.

Even though the two are no longer glued to each other like glue, Feng Jiuyuan's affectionate gaze still follows him everywhere, with a strong sense of presence.

Li Jin: "..."

Xie Xuan is a boy in his teens, what is there in him that is worth sitting down and talking about!Li Jin thought, wishing he could leave the table on the spot.

Just when Li Jin was thinking about whether to leave or stay, Xie Xuan stood up, but shook twice for some unknown reason, and then gave a small salute to Li Jin with a pale face.

"It was Xinglan's helpless act to break into the mansion just now and treat Lizhou mansion like that. I hope Mr. Li will forgive you." Xie Xuan straightened up and said seriously, "Xinglan's talk about pursuing a great cause and ascending to the nine heavens is not a provocation. But the truth."

When encountering the familiar words again this time, Li Jin no longer changed his expression. Instead, he leaned back in the chair calmly, and replied in a neutral tone: "Oh?"

"Xing Lan knows Master Li doesn't believe it." Xie Xuan smiled helplessly, "Then I have to let Master Li see for himself first."

After saying that, he unbuttoned the buckle on his chest and took off his cloak.

The candle hanging on the wall flickered a few times due to his actions, casting a mottled shadow on the ground, which also alarmed the several servants guarding outside the window.

Among them are many personal guards who have followed Li Jin all the year round.At first, it was Feng Jiuyuan's people who made the first move, and they lost the opportunity to put their master into a passive position.Now that there are lessons learned from the past, if there is another problem, Li Jin's anger may not be the only one who greets them.

So they are more careful.When he saw Xie Xuan making a move, he pulled out the blade three inches in unison.

Feng Jiuyuan, who was out of Li Jin's attention, turned his head slightly and looked out from the gap left between the window and the wall.

In an instant, another group of people immediately pulled out their knives.

The two parties confronted each other, and their swords were tense in an instant.

Feng Jiuyuan took a look with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand to close the window.

The lingering chill and noise were finally isolated.

Li Jin is also very vigilant - although the two people on the opposite side have a good attitude, there is no guarantee that they will suddenly attack.This Xie Xuan seems to be obedient, but actually acts cunningly and elusively. What if he changes his mind again?

But Xie Xuan didn't do what he thought.

He just lifted off the layers of big sleeves used to keep warm, exposed his thin wrist, and handed it to Li Jin's eyes.

Xie Xuan's arms are not thin, and one can see the sense of power wrapped in them at a glance. However, perhaps because of being too fair, this sense of power has been neutralized a lot invisibly. At a glance, only thin.

And above the tiger's mouth, near the side of the wrist bone, there is a birthmark like a spider's silk, which fits on his skin.The black is a bit darker than the ink stain, and if you look closely, you can still see a strange red in it.

Maybe not a birthmark.

With the middle as the center, the red is climbing towards the arm, like a vine, rooting deeply into the deeper part covered by the clothes.

At that time, Feng Jiuyuan had just looked away from the window, and when he saw the dark pattern, a forbearing killing intent flashed in his eyes.But something like killing intent appeared on Feng Jiuyuan's face, which seemed to be full of disobedience by nature, so if others saw it, they would only think that he just blinked.

Li Jin on the opposite side was even more astonished.In the hall just now, he hadn't thought of it, but seeing such a strange thing at close range suddenly, anyone would be stunned for a moment.

It was this moment that was accurately captured by Xie Xuan.

"Master Li also knows him?" Xie Xuan withdrew his hand and smoothed his cuff, "This thing is called 'Hooked Kiss'."

Hook Kiss, aka Junkie.It can be used as medicine or as poison.Appropriate use can numb the pain and relieve the psychological trauma caused by the wound.And if it is prepared, it can be dissolved and made into a poison to control others.

After taking it for the first time, the addictive effect is extremely significant.The main manifestations are convulsions, sweating, weakness, and coma.

Then, people become addicted to it.

The second time the poison occurs, it will not be as painful as the first time.First of all, it will make people feel cold; secondly, it is weak, so weak that you can't walk, you can't recognize people, and you can't clearly produce self-awareness; finally, the effect of the medicine is like exploding fireworks in the body, crackling and rampaging.People will feel that there is a fire in their hearts that cannot be quenched.

It is like ink melting into water. It is not visible at first, but has a strong stamina. It penetrates downwards bit by bit until the whole piece of water is soaked in black.

And if you want to end this pain, you only need to take "Hook Kiss" again.

so repeatedly.

That's where it got its other name, "junkie."

Xie Xuan put on the big cloak and sat down again next to Feng Jiuyuan: "Master Li should have noticed just now that I am afraid of the cold and weak, and not long ago, when you and I met in Ziluan Palace, I was not like this. "

Li Jin thought a lot, and he understood in his heart that the poison was given by the queen mother, and Xie Xuan came here tonight to really discuss cooperation.It's just that he was too wary of him, so he forced his way in.

But what if this was another hook thrown by the Queen Mother?

Li Jin didn't respond, he just picked up the teacup and drank the fourth cup of tea today.

As if knowing what Li Jin was thinking, Xie Xuan smiled and held Feng Jiuyuan's hand back, interlocking his fingers, and then placed it under Li Jin's eyelids.

"If Master Li doesn't believe it, Xinglan still wants to tell Master Li one more thing." He gently circled Feng Jiuyuan's tiger's mouth with his thumb, and the latter also let him do it, "My ninth brother's tiger talisman is no longer in his Got it."

Li Jin finally stopped being indifferent, and there was a wave of waves in his eyes: "What did you say?"

The tiger talisman placed in the hands of the Feng family is the last bottom line for the aristocratic family to face the Xie royal family, and it is also the only thing that can compete with the Queen Mother.

Now Xie Xuan actually said that the Tiger Talisman was gone? !

Xie Xuan: "If Master Li doesn't believe it, you can use your eyeliner to investigate."

Feng Jiuyuan then nodded: "Your Highness Thirteen is right, the Tiger Talisman is indeed no longer in my hands, otherwise how could I leave the fief and come to Yongzhou?"

That's right, Feng Jiuyuan, as the prince of one party, left the fief with a tiger talisman and conspired against him. At that time, Li Jin wondered how he secretly came to Yongzhou without telling the Queen Mother...

When Li Jin was caught in a lot of complicated information, Xie Xuan quietly glanced at Feng Jiuyuan.

What he wanted to do, what he wanted to do, actually didn't mention anything to Feng Jiuyuan.Only the four words with unclear meanings——"Brother, save me."

However, Feng Jiuyuan was still able to cooperate seamlessly with him.

Xie Xuan lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the entangled hands of the two.

Different from the calm and breezy clouds on the surface, the strength from Feng Jiuyuan's side is extremely strong. In addition, there is a steady stream of heat transmitted from the palms that fit together - it should be Feng Jiuyuan who is actively transmitting Inner strength, keep him warm.

It's just that the temperature on Xie Xuan's body is too cold, like an invisible deep pool, no matter how many stones are thrown into it, it will be futile.

Xie Xuan tried to move her fingers slightly, but what she got in return was a tighter force.

"I don't need to say, Mr. Li should know who owns the tiger talisman, right?" Feng Jiuyuan said softly, "The eyes of the aristocratic family have changed, the country has changed hands, and the surname is no longer Xie. In her eyes, Xie's achievements are all insignificant."

Seeing that Li Jin didn't speak, Xie Xuan kept Feng Jiuyuan's words under control and continued, "The aristocratic family can be ruined, but I can't wait to die like this. Mrs. Li, the Li family is the one with the strongest heritage in the aristocratic family. If it is not desperate, I am Not so risky."

After that, his voice changed, and there was a hint of bitterness in his words.

"The days of being controlled by hook kisses are extremely painful, Master Li must not understand. But Master Li should be able to empathize with the feeling of fighting with one's back against the wall in adversity. If I make a living, I will only end up being completely abandoned."

Li Jin never spoke.

He no longer cared only about defense as he did at the beginning, and finally began to look at the two people opposite him with eagle-like eyesight.So undisguised, Xie Xuan and Feng Jiuyuan allowed him to look at them openly.After a long time, Li Jin said, "You want...to use my hand to pull Wang Jinse down?"

Xie Xuan asked back: "Master Li doesn't want to use me?"

Li Jin was silent.

Yes, that's why he didn't flat out refuse.

Xie Xuan was controlled by the queen mother, trying to control Xie Xuan in the same way as Xie Qingshan was controlled again, so as to achieve the goal of staying in a high position forever.Presumably, it was because Xie Qingshan's body was getting worse day by day.Xie Xuan wanted to take advantage of the power of the aristocratic family, so why didn't Li Jin need the power of the Xie royal family?In a way, the two of them are not completely hostile.

But he remained silent.

If you don't speak, you won't reveal your true inner thoughts.Nor will they reveal their hole cards too early and too eagerly.

It was late at night, and at some point outside the window, there was a draft-like wind blowing again, and the whimper sounded like someone hiding in the wind and blowing the tear-jerking Xiao.But the wind doesn't know the rhythm, and the whining sound is unbearably noisy, intermittently disturbing.

When no one spoke, the wind suddenly stopped.

In such a momentary gap, Feng Jiuyuan put one hand on the table, tapped lightly with his fingers, and with a click, attracted the attention of the two of them.

He smiled calmly, somehow because he showed the contemptuous attitude of a person who has been in a high position for a long time: "If Mr. Li still dare not trust me and the two of you... In fact, there is another person in Jiuyuan..."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

Before Feng Jiuyuan finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the closed window.Li Jin came back from deep thinking, thinking he was Li Jingyang's servant, and said coldly: "Presumptuous! Why interrupt!"

No one responded outside the window, presumably because Li Jin sternly yelled back, not daring to do it again.

Li Jin frowned, and raised his head to signal Feng Jiuyuan to continue.

For some reason, he subconsciously felt that if Feng Jiuyuan was interrupted, he could solve all the mysteries that had plagued him for so many days.

Feng Jiuyuan smiled slightly and kept silent.

He just turned sideways, pulled up the cloak on Xie Xuan's body, and clenched his hand behind his back.

The sound of knocking on the window was silent for only a moment, and then it was played from outside again.This time, it was still three unhurried strokes.

Li Jin waved his palm suddenly, wanting to open the window for accountability, but unexpectedly there was a loud "bang" outside the window, which made the teacups on the table jump up.

The precarious window hanging on the wall also cracked due to the loud noise, and ended its lifespan. It was torn apart like peeling wall skin, pattering on the ground.

At the gap where the window was damaged, there was a graceful face.

The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, first glanced around through the window, his eyes circled a few times between Feng Jiuyuan and Xie Xuan's intimate posture, and then fell on Li Jin with a smile.

When the window shattered, Xie Xuan was protected by Feng Jiuyuan, but Li Jin was not so lucky. Half of the broken wooden beam happened to hit his head, causing his hair crown to tilt to one side.

The smile in Qin Ting's eyes was even wider, but also colder.

"Looking for someone?" He spit out a few words, pulled the corners of his mouth, and then carried a burly figure, and pressed him against the broken window with a "bang" again.

"is it him?"
