Save the tragic villain in progress!

Chu Xinian rarely encountered this kind of thing in his rigorous and boring life, so he paused for about two or three seconds before he understood what Xie Jingyuan meant.

"..."

The night was long, he didn't say anything, he took off his boots lightly in the dark, and lay down on the bed.

Xie Jingyuan noticed the falling movement beside him, closed his eyes, and remained motionless, only feeling that he could smell Chu Xinian's unique aura.Very light, very far away, very cold, like a cold rain falling in the deserted mountains and forests.

The bed was covered with a thick mattress, Xie Jingyuan still felt cold, but it was too hot for ordinary people.

Chu Xinian sighed slowly: "General, being soft-hearted is not a good thing..."

He said this sentence again, and named him by name.

Xie Jingyuan opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows blankly, feeling incredible: "Are you talking about me?"

Chu Xinian asked back, "Is there anyone else here?"

Xie Jingyuan's dislike for this word was palpable, and he sarcastically said: "It is more appropriate for you to say these two words to King Jin. Even the emperor once praised him. He is born with a kind heart and has the style of a virtuous king."

Chu Xinian put his hands on his abdomen, and quietly twirled his fingertips, wanting to say that those who can win the throne must not be so easy, how could King Jin be really kind-hearted.

But in the end nothing was said.

The dragon has nine sons, each of which is different.The struggle of the royal family is inherently more ruthless than that of ordinary people. If you lose, you will die, and if you win, you will live. Each of them has a reason to fight for that position.

Perhaps there is no absolute pros and cons in the battle for the heir apparent.It's just that the person who wrote the pen was Chu Xinian, and the protagonist in his pen was named "Chu Jiaoping", so the princelings became villains.

Now from Xie Jingyuan's point of view, the fault may not be entirely his.

Chu Xinian didn't realize at all that this period of getting along with him had gradually tilted the balance in his heart, and he began to have a preference for a certain character in his works, so much so that he even abandoned the original protagonist.

This silent change is the most terrifying.

Chu Xinian accidentally touched the back of Xie Jingyuan's hand in the dark, and found that his body was as cold as ice.Slowly stretched out his hand, pulled the half-slipped quilt for him, and said two words in a low voice: "Go to sleep."

Xie Jingyuan's lingering poison is still unclear, and his body is always not as warm as others.

The latter did not speak, as if falling into sleep again.But Chu Xinian heard the system beep softly in his ears: [Ding, please pay attention to the host, the villain's blackness has dropped to 93%, please continue to work hard~]

Compared with the previous few times, this time the drop was a bit more, but Chu Xinian still didn't know the reason.He opened his eyes and looked at the shiny body of the system, wanting to ask something, but felt that he would never get an answer.

Chu Xinian only said one sentence: "...you can disappear."

At night, dazzling.

The system snorted angrily: [Ignorant human beings!hate hate hate! 】

Is it super expensive? !

In the evening of the next day, Chu Xinian changed into clothes that were easy to move around, tied his hair up high, and prepared to explore the place where the murder occurred at night.He had already asked Chu San and Chu Si in advance. The place where they found themselves was thirty miles south of the outskirts of Beijing. It used to be a deserted village.

Xie Jingyuan sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him, rather looking at the show: "Why, you really plan to go out of the city late at night?"

Chu Xinian wiped the dagger in his hand for self-defense, then hid it in his arms, and asked, "Why, it doesn't look like it?"

Xie Jingyuan shook his head slowly, and smiled maliciously: "The general just wants to know, how can you leave the city late at night without a token?"

There was a curfew in the Great Yan Dynasty.After the day time is over, no night out is allowed. Violators will be imprisoned at least, and will be punished on the spot if they are more serious.

Chu Xinian has no official status and no special purpose, so if he wants to go out of the city in a carriage, I'm afraid it will be impossible.Unless you learn how to drill a hole like a mouse.

"I know."

Chu Xinian didn't panic at all.He lifted the hem of his robe, sat next to Xie Jingyuan, and stretched out his hand to him: "General, why don't you give up your love and lend me the token?"

Xie Jingyuan looked at his slender and white palms, then sneered, feeling absurd: "Why should I borrow you?"

Chu Xinian smiled, slowly lowered his voice, and asked seriously: "If I find out the truth, and I can eliminate an old enemy for the general, will the general borrow it?"

Xie Jingyuan paused when he heard the words, and looked at him sharply: "Old enemy?"

He chewed on these two words, and asked with a smile that didn't make sense: "How do you know who my old enemy is? Let's wait until you find out the murderer."

Chu Xinian was about to say something when he heard the words, but he heard a notification from outside: "General, His Royal Highness is here—"

Chu Xinian looked at Xie Jingyuan subconsciously, and frowned: "Why did the prince visit late at night?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open.I saw the prince, who was rarely seen in plain clothes and robes, walked in with his hands behind his back, still in the same unfocused manner: "Gu also wants to know why I came to visit late at night, don't you think so, General Xie?"

He stared at Xie Jingyuan with a bad tone.

Xie Jingyuan didn't move, Chu Xinian got up and gave a salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"no."

The prince still did not pretend to speak to him.He waved his hand and found a place to sit down.His gaze first fell on Chu Xinian, and then on Xie Jingyuan, and asked with a half-smile, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the wilderness outside the city? Why, the general is tired of being a general, and you want to be a junior?" thief?"

Obviously, Xie Jingyuan sent the prince here.

Xie Jingyuan ignored Chu Xinian's probing eyes, ordered someone to fetch two black attendant clothes, and threw one to him: "Put it on."

After saying this, he said to the prince: "The tiger and ben army guarding the city gate today are very strict. I am now calling myself sick, so I will attract attention if I go out of the city with a token, so I want to borrow your chariot and horses to go out together."

Chu Xinian heard some tricks: "His Royal Highness is going out of the city?"

The prince was silent.Xie Jingyuan took a look at Chu Xinian, and explained: "Tomorrow is the day of the late empress's sacrifice, and the prince will go to the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs of Beijing every year to burn incense and pay homage."

Chu Xinian put on his clothes in silence, thinking that Xie Jingyuan might have borrowed the prince's connection to make it easier for him to leave the city.Isn't he afraid of plotting against him?

Chu Xinian looked at Xie Jingyuan thoughtfully, and seeing that he had also changed his attire, he asked in confusion, "The general is going too?"

Xie Jingyuan sneered: "Why, you can go, but I can't?"

Chu Xinian went if he wanted to, anyway, he didn't do anything shady, so he smiled: "Of course I can go."

The night was thick.Those watching outside saw the prince staying in the general's mansion for a while, and then came out again.He got into the carriage and drove straight out of the city, but no one noticed the two attendants who got into the carriage and waited on him.

The prince sat in the carriage with a blank expression, feeling the rickety carriage and feeling very uncomfortable.It's nothing more than taking Xie Jingyuan out of the city, but what is the purpose of bringing Chu Xinian, the "enemy's spy"?Suspicious eyes always fell on him uncontrollably.

Xie Jingyuan sat across from Chu Xinian, staring at him, wondering what he was thinking.

Chu Xinian held a medium-sized wine gourd in his hand, which contained some kind of liquid, and it shook lightly every now and then.He faced the double gaze of Xie Jingyuan and the prince, and smiled, with a pure and harmless appearance.

The prince curled his lips, thinking that he was as good at pretending as King Jin, that hypocrite.

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Xinian shook his head: "It's nothing."

I just find it weird.When he returns to modern times later, I don't know if anyone will believe this experience.

When the carriage reached the city gate, it was stopped.The deputy commander of the Huben Army saw the royal decoration on the eaves of the car, frowned, held his sword and asked: "Dare to ask who is sitting in the car, please show up and see."

The eunuch driving the car scolded in a sharp voice: "Bold, this is the prince's car, how dare you stop it?!"

The deputy commander was indifferent: "The banditry in the city has been rampant recently, and a thousand-faced snitch has appeared. This person is very good at disguise, and the general is also thinking about the safety of the city."

The eunuch stared, and was about to speak out angrily, but the crown prince lifted the curtain with a bang, exposed his head, frowned impatiently and said, "If you want to go out of the city to go to the imperial mausoleum to sacrifice before and after, if you dare to stop me, you will definitely be killed!"

The face is the face of the prince, and the temper is also the temper of the prince. Most people can't imitate his arrogance.

Seeing this, the deputy commander took the order and quickly signaled to let him go.

It was inevitable that the prince would reveal himself when he lifted the curtain, so Chu Xinian and Xie Jingyuan squeezed together and sat together, and asked thoughtfully when he saw this, "Is the prince always like this?"

He remembered that when he first wrote about the prince, although there were words such as "simply dude", the character should not be so arrogant.Hu Huijun was His Majesty's personal guard anyway, so he was too shameless.

Xie Jingyuan cast a sidelong glance at Chu Xinian: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, he is very small-minded, so it's best not to ask such things."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince sat back and looked at the two of them back and forth, with a suspicious tone: "Are you two speaking ill of Gu?"

Sure enough, be careful.

Chu Xinian remained silent, Xie Jingyuan looked away.

The carriage staggered towards the outskirts of the city, leaving deep ruts on the dirt road.It was dark outside, and stars could be seen faintly.Chu Xinian pinched the time in his heart, and after about three hours, the carriage stopped.

Xie Jingyuan jumped out of the carriage, and the cold wind poured in. He coughed twice, and frowned to hold back.

Chu Xinian was holding a wind cloak in his hand and wanted to tie it on him, but seeing the prince beside him, he hesitated and did not move.

Sitting in the car, the crown prince raised half of the curtain: "Go to the imperial mausoleum to burn incense, and come here to pick you up in half an hour."

After saying that, he ordered everyone to set off.The young eunuch who was driving flicked his whip, the wheels rolled into the distance, and soon disappeared at the end of the path.

Chu Xinian watched the prince go away, but he was puzzled in his heart: it is a big event for the mother of the country to pay homage to the national day, and all members of the royal family should burn incense and worship, so why is only the prince going away alone at night.

Xie Jingyuan seemed to see his doubts, but he didn't open his mouth to explain, he just said: "You came here late at night just to stand here in a daze?"

Chu Xinian handed him the wind cloak, then lit the lantern in his hand with a torch, picked up a stick and walked towards the depths of the forest.Under the light of the faint light, as we walked, we beat the grass with wooden sticks to find the way.

Seeing the wind cloak, Xie Jingyuan paused, then took it and tied it on his body in twos and twos: "At your speed, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the place by daybreak."

Chu Xinian did it strictly according to the requirements in the field survival guide.In the dark and dangerous mountain forest, in order to avoid the attacks of snakes, insects, rats and ants, it is necessary to use wooden sticks to explore the way: "Safety is important."

Xie Jingyuan picked up a piece of gravel and smashed the wooden stick into two pieces with a whoosh.He hooked his lips and said sarcastically: "With this general here, are you still afraid of danger?"

"..."

Chu Xinian stared at the remaining half of the stick in his hand in silence for a few seconds, thought about what Xie Jingyuan said, and felt that it made sense, so he threw it away and continued walking with a lantern.

Xie Jingyuan speeded up and walked in front of him to explore the way.A martial arts practitioner has excellent eyesight, and he keenly noticed that the surrounding trees grew in different shapes. When he looked closer, he saw that many branches had been cut off by people, as if there had been a fierce fight.

Chu Xinian walked up to him, touched the smooth cut surface of the branch with his hand: "It was broken by the sword's edge."

The crime scene should be nearby.

Chu Xinian looked at the dimly lit lantern in his hand, recalled something, and called out, "System?"

A big diamond flew out in response, and the bulingbuling body illuminated the surroundings extremely brightly, comparable to the lights of a nightclub. It said angrily: [What are you calling me in the middle of the night! 】

The system also needs to sleep, okay!

Chu Xinian thought it was nothing, and just asked you to come out and shine a light: "...I'm a little confused about the way ahead, and I want you to guide me in the direction."

The system likes guiding lost lambs the most. Hearing this, he came over excitedly: [Dear~ How should I guide you? 】

Chu Xinian smiled and said softly, "You just stay here and don't move."

system:【……】

Only Chu Xinian can see the light of the system.He saw that the nearby grass was messy and there were large indentations, which was probably the scene of the murder.It's a pity that there was a rain a few days ago, and the blood stains were washed away.

He took out the small gourd he had prepared in advance, poured the liquid inside into his palm, and evenly sprinkled it on the ground.

Xie Jingyuan smelled a sour smell, like wine and vinegar, and frowned: "What are you doing?"

Chu Xinian said, "Look for bloodstains."

As early as the 30s, forensic doctors began to use luminol reagent to test bloodstains.This reagent fluoresces when it reacts with the hemoglobin in the blood.

But the Great Yan Dynasty obviously didn't have this kind of thing, so Chu Xinian could only mix vinegar and bad wine and sprinkle it evenly on the grass.This liquid will also react when it encounters bloodstains.

Although Xie Jingyuan didn't know what he was doing, he still picked up a lantern and lit it aside.When Chu Xinian sprinkled the liquid from the gourd, some white marks suddenly appeared on the grass. Although the color was extremely light, they could barely be seen under the light of the lantern.

Xie Jingyuan obviously had never seen this kind of battle, he frowned suspiciously and said, "Is this the bloodstain you mentioned?"

Chu Xinian nodded: "The power of science."

Xie Jingyuan snorted, and said with a sneer, "Is this man called Science very powerful?"

He thought science was personal.

A smile flashed across Chu Xinian's eyes, and he said slowly, "Well... probably a little better than you."

Half of Xie Jingyuan's face turned dark, he gritted his teeth silently, against the silver mask on his face, he became more and more eerie like a ghost in the darkness.

Chu Xinian didn't notice it, so he concentrated on examining the bloodstains on the ground, and finally found that among the messy bloodstains, there seemed to be a crawling trace in the southeast direction.

He poured out the liquid from the gourd and continued to sprinkle, a bloodstain that was so faint that it was almost invisible went straight to the depths of the dense forest.

Chu Xinian said to Xie Jingyuan: "When Jiu Niang was dying, she crawled for a certain distance, let's go and have a look."

Xie Jingyuan's face was foul-smelling, and he refused to move.But seeing that Chu Xinian was already walking in, he reluctantly followed.

The bloodstain is very long, and it becomes lighter and lighter in the back, and it is almost invisible.Chu Xinian could only throw away the empty gourd in his hand, and leaned over to look around for clues.The weeds here are so lush that they grow up to the height of his knees, so that he didn't even notice that there was a dry well under his feet.

"Xie Jingyuan!"

Chu Xinian's heart tightened, and he called out the name out of desperation.Xie Jingyuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and immediately grabbed his arm as quickly as lightning, but the whole person was still brought in together due to inertia.

Xie Jingyuan turned his palms into claws, tightly gripping the edge of the well, trying to support the two of them.However, the masonry was rotten, and he crushed it into powder, and the three of them fell straight into the deep well.

"Puff--!"

Water splashes everywhere.

It is good that there is water in the well.

This was Chu Xinian's first thought after falling into the well.

It would be great if Xie Jingyuan didn't throw away his pathfinding stick, so there is a high probability that they won't fall in.

This was the third thought in Chu Xinian's mind.

The two of them fell into the well together, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and then came up.Xie Jingyuan held onto Chu Xinian's arm tightly, went to check on his situation immediately, and frowned, "Chu Xinian!"

"I am fine."

Chu Xinian wiped the water from his face with his sleeve. Maybe he was used to being calm in the past thirty years or so. Even if he was in a difficult situation, he would calm down after a moment of panic.

Xie Jingyuan said, "We fell into the well."

Chu Xinian: "Yes, I know."

"..."

Xie Jingyuan didn't know what to say for a while, but his hand was still tightly clenched, and after a while he sneered and said: "You have to go to the suburbs of Beijing, why, fell into the well?"

Chu Xinian felt that the water in the well was really cold, which made people feel cold all over his body: "The general is very skilled in martial arts, can he climb up?"

As soon as he said it, he thought it was impossible.It's like a bird falling into a well and not getting out.They require a lateral run-up for some distance before they can fly.Animals with wings are like this, let alone Xie Jingyuan.

Although there is light work in this era, it should not be possible to go against the sky to that extent.

"No," Xie Jingyuan shook his head as expected, "The wall of the well is too high, at least ten feet. If I jumped, it would be five feet at most."

Chu Xinian now has only one thought in his mind, it's a miracle they didn't fall to death.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xie Jingyuan grabbed the well wall to buffer the force when he fell just now.

Xie Jingyuan pursed his lips and mocked: "Why don't you let that man named Science come to save you? Isn't he better than this general?"

Chu Xinian hummed, "He's not here now."

Science is such a mysterious thing, sometimes it exists, sometimes it doesn’t.

Probably because the well was too quiet, people unconsciously wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.Chu Xinian was silent for a moment, and said, "The general doesn't have to come in with me..."

As long as Xie Jingyuan let go, everything will be solved easily.

Xie Jingyuan looked at him when he heard the words, most of his body was in the shadows, making it hard to see: "Really?"

He said: "I didn't react just now, next time you fall in, I won't hold you."

After Xie Jingyuan finished speaking, he slowly let go of Chu Xinian, turned his back to him, thinking about something alone.

Looking at his back, Chu Xinian suddenly felt that this person did not look like a villain, and the ending of being imprisoned to death by the new emperor in the original book seemed too harsh.

He hesitated and stretched out his hand, and gently placed it on Xie Jingyuan's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I guess the prince will come later, I hope he can find him."

Xie Jingyuan thought of the prince's reckless temper, and sneered, "It's fine if he doesn't fall in."

His mouth seemed to have been opened, and not long after he finished speaking, he heard a sudden loud voice from above, as if someone was shouting something, but the distance was too far to hear clearly.

Xie Jingyuan looked up subconsciously, probably the prince, who was about to remind him to pay attention to his feet.However, before he could open his mouth, he heard the movement of bricks and stones falling, and a group of black shadows fell straight down——

"Puff--!"

Water splashes everywhere.

The prince really lived up to Xie Jingyuan's entrustment and successfully fell down.
