Death Princess

Passing by an undead killer, Qin Hui drew his sword out of its sheath expressionlessly, and stabbed it through very quickly.Withdrawing the sword and shaking off the blood on the sword, he turned to look at Shishi with a cold expression, and moved away without saying a word when he met his gaze.Afterwards, as if he had never done this action before, he turned his head and put away his sword, and trotted to He Yi's side.

Shi Shi stood stiffly on the spot, not daring to move forward.

Qin Hui lightly hugged He Yi in his arms, turned around and walked towards the exit of the forest. When passing by Leng Tong, he paused, "Hurry up and get out of here, it won't be long before the Jingshi garrison The guards will surround this place, your status is inconvenient..." At least you can't appear in the eyes of the emperor at this juncture.

Leng Tong nodded, accepted He Yi's complicated look, and walked in the opposite direction.

"Thank you." The voice behind made Leng Tong stop, and Leng Tong turned around, only to find that the owner of the voice, Qin Hui, was not facing him.

"Yeah." Leng Tong turned back.

"She's waiting for you."

My heart skipped a beat.Leng Tong actually understood the meaning of these endless words. "...Mmm." Taking a deep breath, holding back the emotions welling up in his heart, Leng Tong forced himself to run out of this land of right and wrong before showing his flaws.

"Leng Tong, I'm just such a younger sister." Qin Hui's voice was left far behind.

"I... know." After a long time, until Qin Hui, He Yi and the others had long disappeared, Leng Tong answered seriously.However, no one could hear her answer.

To you, she is the only daughter, only sister, and only sister, but to me, she is also...

. . .

After half an hour.

The sudden appearance of the guards surrounded half of the city, and scared the crap out of those who harbored evil intentions.After waking up, the people who were grounded in the house were discussing in a low voice in panic, wondering which ancestor who did not want to die, which Buddha he offended.People with more information were speculating that it was that wishful-thinking generation who made trouble again, not only Feng Yuwei, but even the guards in charge of the prince were alarmed.Some even claimed that apart from the crown prince and King Ping, they also saw His Majesty's chariot.

However, Princess Changping, who caused the chaos and panic, yawned on the couch after dismissing the imperial doctors and maids, and fell asleep, or, in people's eyes, fell asleep.

But her consciousness followed a bird that entered the room by mistake, and entered the illusion created by the Chao brothers and sisters.

The scene in the illusion is the maple leaf forest of Jianzong.The woods are full of red in autumn, the red trees and the red ground are in stark contrast to the white snow in reality.He Yi vaguely remembered that when creating the illusion, it was deliberately different from the reality. It seemed to be to prevent people from confusing the two and avoiding getting stuck in it.After all, for many people in this world, the illusion of worry-free is far better than the cruel reality.

Walking through the woods familiarly, he walked to the place where the three brothers and sisters used to play when they were young, and He Yi found Qin Hui and Zhao Lu there as expected.However, unlike the gentle smiles in the past, what greeted her this time was the guilt and self-blame that couldn't fade from the faces of the brother and sister.Seeing the expressions of the two of them, He Yi's heart ached involuntarily.

"Yi'er is here."

"Yi'er is here."

The two brothers and sisters are trying to squeeze out a smile, but the smile is extremely awkward.

"You..." He Yi sat on the floor opposite the two, "I have grown up, and I am no longer the Yi'er who needs you to protect me. This matter is my own responsibility, you..." Shaking his head, he didn't know what he was negating, "If you feel sorry for me and didn't protect me because of this, then I... what should I do?"

"You were all involved in all this because of me," the more you said, the more painful it became, and the redder your eyes became, "You could have been carefree in Jianzong... but because of me... I caused you to be hurt and hurt. To make you suffer, to cause you to blame yourself, I..."

"Yi'er!" With a firm embrace, "Stop talking, we won't talk, it's fine as long as it's okay, it's fine when you come back, it's fine when you come back." Qin Hui's voice was choked and trembling.

Leaning his body forward, He Yi greedily enjoyed the embrace that he almost couldn't reach anymore.She rubbed her cheeks into that embrace, trying to cover up the tears welling up in her eyes and the fear that surged in her heart.But when a hot and wet thing dripped on her body, she realized that she was not the only one who was crying so frightened and disregarding her image.

"Brother Hui, you...?" Crying?With his head removed from his embrace, He Yi met Qin Hui's red eyes with his own red eyes.

"No, no," Qin Hui wiped his eye sockets in a panic, tried his best to argue, but couldn't hide the crying in his voice, "Brother Hui, why am I crying? It's just sand in my eyes."

"Then..." He Yi curled up his lips, and looked at the arms that were still tightly hugging him.

"I..." Qin Hui was a little embarrassed and flustered, and he withdrew his hand reluctantly, "I'm just...not reconciled, why can the prince keep you by his side, but I, the legendary "guardian"? It was locked away far away. Even when I saw you, I had to secretly use illusions."

"Cough." There was an unbearable dry cough from Chaolu, "It's a pity that you, the 'guard hero', were picked."

"……"It really is.

"You two," Zhao Lu curled her lips inexplicably, "but is it sticky enough? Can you start talking about business? If not, do you need me to withdraw to make room for you?"

"..." I almost forgot that Sister Lu was still by my side.

"Cough cough." Completely letting go of He Yi, Qin Hui rubbed his nose, "Then... let's get back to business." His expression became serious, "Who did this thing, and why did it happen, Wuyouzu , He Yupeng and Jiang Tang——He Kunshu, and what roles each plays in it."

"I have roughly figured out the matter between He Kunshu and He Yupeng." He Yi told the Chao brothers and sisters the conversation he had with Leng Tong last night in a compressed manner.

"I haven't seen you for a night. These two cousins ​​are married to Jinlan." How do you know, before I could tell the truth, I waited for Qin Hui's lukewarm teasing and a meaningful look for Zhaolu. , "Little Lulu, what do you think about this? It's a crisis, a crisis."

"Indeed, the person was saved by Leng Tong, and the people behind the scenes were also investigated by Leng Tong, but you were just an afterthought for being late." Zhao Lu also unceremoniously gave Qin Hui a meaningful look, "Xiao Hui Hui, what do you think about this? It's a crisis, a crisis."

As if doing it deliberately to ease the depression just now, the childlike brothers and sisters spoke some words that they thought only they could understand, and stared at each other unabashedly, taking this fantasy Maple Leaf Forest as a Bickering battlefield.

"Ahem." Two ancestors, you two want to use this matter to open your mouth, can you find a time when the person involved is not present?

"Humph."

"cut."

The two brothers and sisters stared at each other, withdrawing their childishness.

"The matter of Wuyouzu," Zhao Lu straightened his expression, "I have heard a little bit about it from Father and Uncle Palm. After the current Majesty He Kunju came to the throne, he has done several important things non-stop. One of them is the well-known To recover the Qi State, put all the adult male heirs of the four remaining royal families under house arrest in the capital, and majestically confer the title of county king on one person, in an attempt to slowly and completely assimilate the Qi State. The second is ..." Eight years ago and the Spirit Clan, "The third is to count the royal family of secret guards——Wuzhi."

"The imperial guard family?" He Yi raised his eyebrows, "Why have I never heard of it?"

"Because that family no longer exists." It was Qin Hui who answered, "I heard that as early as the period of chaos, the Wu family and the Wu family were allies of the He family. For example, the Liu family, the Ding family, etc. Several aristocratic families are the founding heroes of the He family on the surface, and the Wu family is the one in the dark. Because they have always done things that cannot be put on the table, so when the Tai Zu talked about rewarding meritorious deeds, And he didn't put Wuzhi on the bright side."

"However, Tai Zu did not treat Wuzhi badly. Instead, while giving them endless glory and wealth, he transformed Wuzhi into an exclusive secret guard of the royal family and an exclusive secret service organization. His status was once higher than that of the current Fengyuwei. , is a knife hanging over the heads of court officials in many places. The only difference is that Fengyuwei was recruited from all over the world, while Wuzhiwei is a family."

"This kind of family that can influence the court situation," Zhao Lu continued after glancing at Qin Hui, "when the chaos was initially established, it was the help of the new country. The existence of Clan Guards has become a bit of an eyesore. Fortunately, the late Emperor did not do anything wrong, but just established Feng Yu Guards to decentralize power, trying to use time to slowly drive Wu Clan out of the court."

"It's a pity that the first emperor passed away before he succeeded." Qin Hui glanced back at Zhao Lu, and continued, "Your Majesty, He Kunjue succeeds to the throne today. Yi'er, you know He Kunju's temperament better than us, since he forced Uncle Palm away back then. Looking at it with my father, I knew that he definitely couldn't tolerate the existence of Wu Zhi. He was thinking about recovering Qi State and dealing with the Lingzu every day, so he didn't have the extra patience to grind slowly with Wu Zhi. His power has been greatly weakened by the late emperor."

"So, he gave an order," Zhao Lu continued, making a slashing movement, "like planting the spirit clan, he randomly put a hat on Wuzhi, so that he could drive them out overnight. Even the evidence of Wuzhi's existence has been obliterated in the history books." Turning around, Qin Hui said, "Xiao Huihui, the Wuyou beside you is the descendant of Wuzhi, right? He was the one who told you about Wuzhi of?"

Qin Hui nodded.

"So, then their purpose is to take revenge on the emperor's uncle, and even the entire He family?" He Yi said.

"Staying by the prince's side looking for opportunities for revenge, no matter where, the status of 'Princess Changping' is not suitable." Zhao Lu nodded, "So, they teamed up with Jiang Tang to get what they need."

Qin Hui took a deep breath, "Yi'er, I..."

"It's not your fault, Brother Hui," He Yi interrupted Qin Hui before he could apologize, "It's better to say that it was because of that non-existent existence that this crisis appeared in advance and wiped out many hidden people. The forces in the dark dug it out. Besides, Na Wu did not frame King Ping, it should be his personal action, that is to say, he gave us a chance." Even if the price of this opportunity is not easy, at least, it is a Chance.

Qin Hui sighed, "Then...you have no plan..."

"Keep it, watch it, but don't move it for the time being," He Yi replied quickly, "When the time is right, add fire and let him really be used by Brother Hui."

"……it is good."
