“…”

The next day after Yingying was forced to escape from the palace, she was taken to a dilapidated wooden house by Chen Xue.

There were everything in the wooden house. At that time, they were guarding several men in black. When they saw Chen Xue, they shouted "Lord" in unison. The burly man in charge said angrily: "The prince of the Northern Region is chasing our brothers from Chifeng Tower everywhere. Lord. Just now, the guardian heard that our Chifeng Tower was burned by the people of the court!"

"Oh?" Chen Xue was calm after hearing this, and even looked at Yingying sideways, as if she had expected Qin Rong's method.

"What else is there coming from outside?" Chen Xue asked calmly.

The burly man looked slightly stiff, and he hid his hand behind him, "The guardian also said... There is a mysterious person who rewarded 1,000 taels of gold to buy your head. If the people from Chifenglou attacked first, they would be exempted from death."

There is no mysterious man? There are too many loopholes in the burly man's words. Even Yingying could hear that the mysterious man he said was referring to Qin Rong.

Chen Xue naturally knew the strangeness in the burly man's words. He nodded and sneered: "What a good method, this prince of the Northern Region wants you to rebel against me."

Not only was it against him, Qin Rong's bargaining chip would only cause chaos in Chifeng Tower. There was no need for the court to take action against Chifeng Tower and would be destroyed by internal strife first.

You should know that Chifeng Tower is full of desperate people who lick blood from the knife. Chen Xue can become their lord and repress her entirely by force. No matter how capable he is, he cannot make all the people in the building loyal to him, not to mention that he is not a good person in charge.

"Can anyone resist at present?"

The man paused next time: "No."

Chen Xue smiled faintly, rubbed the hilt of the sword around her waist and said, "It seems that I am a good master."

Yingying moved quietly to the side. She was closest to Chen Xue, and she obviously realized that the man's mood was far less calm than his tone.

Yingying is the type of person who is the least likely to observe his expression. Now even she notices something is wrong with Chen Xue, and this is even more true for several people from Chifenglou.

The burly man stood up the front. He looked at the man beside him and secretly put his hands behind him. No one said anything for a while. Chen Xue said first: "Get in, I've been running around for a few days but still exhausted."

He had just taken a step forward when the burly man suddenly pulled out his weapons from behind and attacked Chen Xue, and the person next to him also chased after him.

Yingying saw something strange early. She stood there and waited for their civil strife. She was about to slip away without thinking. However, without waiting for Yingying to run two steps, she was blocked by the man who flew over. The man hit the ground and vomited a large pool of blood. He looked ahead in disbelief. "You" didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and then he fainted with his eyes.

The man in front of me was the burly man just now. In just a blink of an eye, even another man in black was subdued by other people in the building.

"Do it again, but there is still no progress." Chen Xue held the sword in her right hand and murmured quietly.

Yingying didn't expect Chen Xue to take action so quickly, and she stood there and didn't dare to run away again.

Chen Xue's sword had not been taken back yet, and the sticky blood dripped down the sword body to the ground, soaking a small piece of soil. Yingying had never killed anyone in her previous life. She didn't feel anything when she killed someone herself, but now she saw Chen Xue killing someone but her legs were so weak.

With his wrist slightly moved, Yingying saw Chen Xue looking up at her. He pointed at her with the tip of his sword and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yingying was caught and fled. She stared at the bloody sword tip and shrank her neck, giving in with great care: "I... didn't want to go anywhere, I want to help you bring reinforcements."

Chen Xue believed that she had a ghost. He wiped the sword and took back the scabbard, but he didn't care about Yingying: "Why don't you get back soon."

When Yingying approached, he warned: "I will break your legs next time."

“…”

Although Chen Xue caught her, she did not mean to hurt her. Yingying was locked in a small cabin and did nothing, so she had time to think.

There are so many things in this cabin. There are fresh foods to eat and various clothes to wear. After Yingying stayed here for a day, she had to suspect that Chen Xue had planned it.

Why did this person arrest her? Why did he seem to have been preparing for this plan for a long time? Then how true is his previous statement with her in the stone prison?

Yingying thought about it so much and she really asked. Chen Xue was sitting at the table writing a letter. When she heard Yingying’s question, she raised her eyebrows, "Why are you arresting?"

"What else do you think can be done is naturally for your prince brother."

"For my third brother?" Yingying was puzzled. She had read a lot of messy books in her previous life. Yingying, who did not think there was a grudge between them, had a little change in her eyes when she looked at Chen Xue.

Chen Xue didn't even want to tell the truth to her. He blew the written letter paper and prepared to stuff it into the envelope.

Yingying has been forced to "escape" these days and cannot eat well but sleep well. She has felt uncomfortable since the morning. Now she rubbed her nose when she was thinking about things. Unexpectedly, she felt sticky on the back of her hands when she rubbed her head. She lowered her head and found that she had nosebleeds.

"Give me a handkerchief..." Yingying was stunned and began to stop the nosebleed in panic.

Chen Xue ignored her at all, and she looked up at Yingying until she smelled a faint smell of blood. Seeing Yingying covered in blood, he kindly threw a handkerchief to stop the bleeding. Finally, seeing Yingying rubbing her clumsyly, she simply stepped forward and pointed a few acupoints on her.

"I have observed you for a long time, and I really don't know what Prince Qinrong has liked you."

Chen Xue seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. He squatted in front of Yingying and looked at her with his chin, stretched out his fingers and raised Yingying's chin. After looking at her carefully for a moment, he seemed to say to himself: "How can you make him so crazy?"

Yingying felt that Chen Xue was not normal, so she reached out to push his hand, but ended up rubbing a few drops of blood on the back of his hand.

Chen Xue's face changed and seemed to be about to get angry, but she didn't know what she thought of and calmed down again. She got up and picked up the letter on the table. He pinched Yingying's blood-stained hand and pressed it twice. Then he returned to the table and added a few more strokes, dried the ink marks and sealed the envelope.

"This time you're a bargain." Chen Xue said leisurely after writing a few words on the envelope. If Yingying hadn't had her nose bleeding in time, he wouldn't mind cutting the wound on her body.

Yingying just saw Qin Rong's name on the letter paper. After she stopped bleeding from her nose, she asked, "Who are you writing to?"

"Of course it is written to your prince brother."

Chen Xue stood up and prepared to go out, bent her lips and said in a good mood: "I believe you will meet your prince brother soon."

This letter was indeed written to Qin Rong by Chen Xue. It indicated their location and specifically indicated that the blood on the letter paper came from Yingying. Chen Xue knew Qin Rong's most crazy appearance, so he was looking forward to Qin Rong's state when he saw this letter.

Chen Xue finally didn't expect that most of the chess game he had made was destroyed by Yingying's two drops of nose bleeding.

I thought that the two drops of blood would make Qin Rong come alone, but he didn't expect that Qin Rong would dare to take the people over without caring about Yingying's safety. Is he not caring about her? Or did Qin Rong decide that he wouldn't touch Gu Yingying?

"Protect the Lord!"

"Ada escorts the Lord to evacuate, and we will stop them!"

The accident was that after Chen Xue returned from the road, about an hour after she was about candles flashing in the wooden house, and then a large number of secret guards rushed out.

"Third Brother!" Yingying could tell at a glance that these were Qin Rong's people. When she looked out, she happened to see Qin Rong leading the people around the wooden house.

Before Yingying could run out the door, Chen Xue grabbed her wrist.

"The sword has no eyes, you'd better be honest with me." Chen Xue didn't forget her at this time and rushed out of the wooden house with her.

Perhaps the situation was too urgent, Chen Xue didn't have time to knock Yingying unconscious this time. Yingying wanted to struggle but was pressed by Chen Xue's sword. The group rushed out of the wooden house. About six or seven people were originally protecting Chen Xue's side. Only one was left halfway through the journey, and finally rushed towards the secret guards to protect Chen Xue.

"Lord... go quickly." Yingying heard the man roaring and left a sentence.

There was a chain on her feet and motion was unchanged, so Chen Xue simply picked her up. Yingying watched the man being penetrated by a few swords of the secret guards. Before she died, she did not forget to open her arms to block the secret guards. Chen Xue didn't say anything from beginning to end. He didn't even look back at the person. His cold and decisive attitude made Yingying feel cold from the bottom of her heart.

"Are you scared?" After entering the forest, Chen Xue threw away the secret guards' pursuit before throwing Yingying to the ground.

Yingying shrank back after suffering. Instead of standing up, she hugged her knees and leaned against the tree. Her little face turned slightly white. Her eyes were slightly red and she looked at Chen Xue and accused: "You are not human than me!"

Thinking of the scene just now, Yingying seemed to see Xiao Dai protecting her from the palace in her previous life. Looking at Chen Xue, she could imagine her cold and ruthless look at her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Yingying's face was not good, Chen Xue sarcastically said, "I only now know that I'm afraid of me, don't you think it's too late?"

Yingying was not afraid of him, but remembered herself in her previous life. She was asking herself and Chen Xue: "That person died for you, don't you really regret it?"

At least Yingying regrets it, she regrets it in both her previous life and this life. However, she still doesn't know that human feelings are complicated in her previous life, and she always regards the heartache of missing Xiaodai as a disease.

Chen Xue was silent for a moment and suddenly replied: "His name is Ada."

"The person who just protected me was called Ada, and the person who drove the carriage to lead your brother away was called Shishun. They are all my most loyal subordinates."

"Since you know they are loyal, why should you treat them like this?" This is what Yingying cannot understand the most, and it is also where Yingying feels that he is less like a human than herself.

Chen Xue sneered and sat down on the tree, "Otherwise? What do you want me to treat them?"

"Do you want me not to abandon them and insist on living and dying with them? If I die with them, that will make them die in vain."

"Why did it die in vain? If you didn't catch me, how could they die?!" The group of people were just killers Chen Xueyang. Yingying had never said a few words to them. What she thought was their lives. Only those who had lost and experienced pain in their bodies knew the preciousness of human life.

Chen Xue ignored Yingying anymore, and he was injured. In order to bring Yingying out, his arms and back were injured. If it weren't for the group of secret guards who were afraid of hurting Yingying, he would probably not have walked out of the wooden house alive.

After bandaging himself for a moment, Chen Xue closed her eyes and rested. Now he is still holding Yingying hostage, Qin Rong will not let him go easily, so he needs to maintain his strength the most and be awake enough now.

It was already night, and animals were cries from time to time in the mountains and forests. Yingying was still immersed in the emotions just now. When she saw Chen Xue not speaking, she said to herself: "Until this moment, I don't know why you grabbed me and refused to let go."

"Chen Xue, can you still count how many people died to protect you along the way?"

Yingying didn't expect Chen Xue to pay attention to her, but Chen Xue did reply to her. He said, "I can't remember it."

The silver mask on her face shone with a faint light under the moonlight. Chen Xue opened her eyes and looked at Yingying opposite her, and suddenly asked her: "Do you think they are innocent?"

"All this is fake, only my real ones, aren't I innocent?"

I don’t know if it’s because of the injury, Chen Xue’s voice was slightly hoarse. He paused for a while before saying, “I just want to go home.”

"Then you go home."

Yingying was puzzled, "Why did you hold me and not let me go when you go home?"

Thinking of Chen Xueqi's strange words these days, Yingying made a guess based on the book: "If you tie me up, can you be my father's long-lost son, my other brother?"

The emotions that had finally been brewing were forced back by Yingying, and Chen Xue choked and retorted: "Stop giving on your face, I am not without a stupid sister like you."

"I tied you up and refused to let go, just for your prince brother."

Yingying said ah, originally she thought Chen Xue was a distorted person, and loved the beautiful Prince of the Northern Region. It seems that this is not the direction at present. Since he said he wanted to go home, Yingying naturally thought of an answer: "So you are the prince who has been separated for many years in the Northern Region."

This is the most reasonable reason Yingying thought of at the moment, but it was still rejected by Chen Xue.

"Why are you holding my third brother back?"

Chen Xue didn't say anything anymore. He stood up from the ground and pulled Yingying up to go back on the road. Yingying said so much just now, not to satisfy his curiosity, but the biggest purpose was to reduce Chen Xue's defense.

When Chen Xue stretched out her right arm, Yingying pushed him. Chen Xue was almost injured by her for a moment. She barely avoided Yingying's palm and wind to grab Yingying's hand. Yingying deliberately attacked Chen Xue's injured position, but was still subdued by Chen Xue's few moves.

"Why, do you think your prince's brother has come here, so you are so tough?"
