Save the tragic villain in progress!

Chu Xinian clasped Xie Jingyuan's shoulders with both hands, fell into hesitation and thought, and didn't know whether to push him away or hug him tightly.It wasn't until the person in his arms gradually woke up, frowning and uttering an indistinct raving, that he withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

Chu Xinian hurriedly pushed Xie Jingyuan aside so that the other party wouldn't be able to explain clearly when he woke up, but before he could make a move in the future, he was caught off guard by a pair of narrow, half-squinted eyes.

"..."

Chu Xinian didn't expect Xie Jingyuan to wake up so quickly, so he asked slowly, "...are you awake?"

Xie Jingyuan didn't seem to wake up, he closed his eyes again without saying a word, and unconsciously rubbed against Chu Xinian's shoulder.After a while, he asked hoarsely, "What are you doing?"

He looked lazy, his eyes half-closed, like some kind of ferocious animal with its claws retracted, at least at this stage, it was harmless.

Chu Xinian thought for a long time, and answered him with a more rigorous word: "Heating."

Hearing this, Xie Jingyuan stared at him motionlessly, then closed his eyes, hummed without audible emotion, and said to himself: "It's quite warm."

His answer was different from Chu Xinian's imagination, in short, he was too calm.Xie Jingyuan was stripped of his clothes and lying in bed with a man, it's fine if he isn't angry, his attitude can even be called peaceful, it's not so unusual for the sun to come out from the west.

Chu Xinian felt that it was necessary for him to explain: "Don't blame the general if you act in a hurry."

Xie Jingyuan didn't seem to care much, and even changed a more comfortable position to lie in his arms, still not even lifting his eyelids: "Yeah."

Does anyone know what his "um" means?Chu Xinian, who can see through people's hearts, doesn't know either.

It was rare in Chu Xinian's life that he ran out of words.Seeing that Xie Jingyuan had no intention of getting up, he could only throw off the quilt and get out of bed, but suddenly his waist tightened, and Xie Jingyuan pulled him back, and fell into the bed again.

The current posture is that Chu Xinian is on the top and Xie Jingyuan is on the bottom.

In order to stabilize his figure, Chu Xinian could only stand by Xie Jingyuan's side, his black long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he couldn't touch the fireworks in the world, so he said in a low voice, "General?"

"Didn't it mean to keep warm?" Xie Jingyuan lay under him, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, his lips were still pale and bloodless, and he raised his eyebrows: "How do you get it when you leave?"

His shoulders were exposed outside the quilt, exposed to the air, and quickly cooled down. Those burning coals were useless.

After hearing the words, Chu Xinian seemed to have got a reasonable reason.This reason can convince him as well as Xie Jingyuan.A few seconds later, he slowly lay back, hugged Xie Jingyuan into his arms again, and hummed, which was his answer to the question just now.

They are so airtight that it is difficult for even a little air to squeeze in.

Xie Jingyuan pressed against Chu Xinian's chest, thinking of something, he raised his head inadvertently, but his dry lips brushed against Chu Xinian's chin impartially, and the two froze at the same time.

"..."

Chu Xinian held Xie Jingyuan's hand tightly, telling himself in his heart to calm down and not to panic.He knew that the more critical the situation was, the less he could panic. Calmness was the most important thing.

calm.

Chu Xinian could only act as if nothing had happened, but his sudden heartbeat gave away his emotions.

Xie Jingyuan pressed against Chu Xinian's chest, and naturally discovered the clue.His eyelashes trembled, he stared at Chu Xinian's slightly protruding Adam's apple, stretched out his hand to rub it lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chu Xinian..."

Chu Xinian moved his fingertips, as if he wanted to reach out to stop him, but he didn't make any moves.Enduring the strange itching at his Adam's apple, he uttered a word with some doubts: "Huh?"

"It's nothing."

Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes without saying a word, then slowly withdrew his hand, and landed on Chu Xinian's waist again, hugging the big human-shaped heater.

The candles burned out, and the scene in the inner room gradually dimmed and blurred.In the dark, people's sense of touch will be magnified countless times.

Chu Xinian could even feel the warm jade that Xie Jingyuan wore around his neck, as well as the uneven scar on the right side of the other side's face, and the smoothness and delicacy of the left side like jade.

Xie Jingyuan's body was still strong and strong when he led the soldiers to fight, but he was covered with a layer of weakness due to being bedridden all year round, so he was lying in his arms quietly and obediently at this moment.

Chu Xinian couldn't resist reaching out, and gently touched Xie Jingyuan's injured right cheek in the dark, then pulled the quilt for him, closed his eyes and went to sleep.He thought he couldn't fall asleep, but it only took a moment for the drowsiness to strike, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

He naturally missed the system beep.

【Ding! 】

[Attention the host, the villain's blackness has dropped to 83%, please continue to work hard, come on, come on~]

Early the next morning, Chu Xinian rarely got up late.When he woke up, there was no one in the room, only the bedding around him was still warm, and Xie Jingyuan had disappeared.

He was stunned for a while, then he came to his senses, slowly lifted the quilt, got out of bed and dressed.Skylark heard the movement and came in with a basin of water to wait for him to wash: "My lord, the breakfast is ready and it's warming on the stove. I see that you slept late yesterday and didn't call you this morning."

Chu Xinian hummed, "Where's the general?"

Yunque glanced out, then lowered his voice and said: "I have asked someone to inquire about it. It is said that the man in black brought back yesterday wanted to commit suicide. Both the general and the crown prince have gone, and so has Dr. Wan."

Qin Shuang wanted to commit suicide?

Chu Xinian smiled when he heard this.That's right, strictly speaking, this person is actually Qin Daoyan's dead soldier. If he fails in his mission, and Qin Daoyan might be involved, the best way is to commit suicide.

It's just... there are many more painful things in this world than death.

Chu Xinian threw the towel into the basin, asked where Qin Shuang was locked up, and went with Yunque.But when he walked to the door of the dungeon, he was stopped by Jiuyong again as expected.

Skylark quite disliked this coffin face: "Why are you haunted, get out of the way quickly."

Jiuyong gave Yunque a cold look, raised his sword to stop her, and pointedly said: "This is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

Chu Xinian glanced at him thoughtfully when he heard the words, and quickly understood what Jiu Yong meant.Smiling, he went straight down the steps and entered the entrance of the dungeon, but Jiu Yong didn't stop him.

Seeing this, Skylark blinked blankly, didn't understand the meaning, subconsciously wanted to follow in, but was blocked by Jiuyong again.

Skylark was angry: "What are you stopping me for?!"

Jiu Yong frowned: "I told you, idlers are not allowed to enter."

The general only ordered that Chu Xinian could be let in, but he didn't say that this little bird could be let in.

The dungeon is deep and dark, with damp everywhere.The smell of decay in the ground was mixed with the rust of blood, forming a unique smell of death.

Ignoring the armored guards on both sides, Chu Xinian followed the lights illuminating the road, making twists and turns, and finally stopped in front of a prison door.

Qin Shuang was lying in it half dead, and Dr. Wan was bandaging him.The back of the head was smashed into blood and flesh, and it was not difficult to see the desire to die. Fortunately, there is such a thing as internal force in this era, otherwise Qin Shuang would have returned to Jiuyou.

The prince covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and stood by to watch the excitement.Xie Jingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, and when he heard movement behind him, he looked back as if feeling something, only to see Chu Xinian standing outside.

"Don't come in yet, what are you doing standing there?" Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, the other half of his face was covered by a mask, making it impossible to put together a complete expression.

Chu Xinian was really out of place in this dungeon.He often wears white clothes, his whole body is spotless, and his eyes always have a faint smile, which is unpredictable.The blood and screams around him were cut off by an invisible barrier, and they couldn't touch him in the slightest.

Xie Jingyuan's eyes darkened.

But the calmer Chu Xinian was, the more people wanted to see what he looked like when he was distracted and infatuated.The cleaner he is, the more he wants people to stain him with dirt.

Xie Jingyuan raised his hand, and slowly closed the wind cloak on his shoulders, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, a dead thing is a dead thing after all, how can there be warmth from the living people last night.He walked to the cell door, untied the iron chain, and made a loud noise.

"I knew you would come." Xie Jingyuan looked at Chu Xinian and smiled strangely.

Hearing the words, the prince seemed to want to show his intelligence, and he also echoed: "Gu also guessed that you would come."

Xie Jingyuan gave him a sad look.

Chu Xinian didn't pay attention to the undercurrent of the three of them.He remembered what happened last night, and still felt a little strange in his heart. He subconsciously avoided Xie Jingyuan's eyes, and turned to look at Qin Shuang: "What's wrong with him?"

The prince snorted coldly: "He hit his head against the wall, trying to seek death, but was discovered by the guards. It's useless to keep this person, and he can't pry things out."

Qin Shuang's chin was fixed by Wan Jimiao, but the limbs and joints were removed, and it was still difficult to move.Hearing this, he stared at the prince with scarlet eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't say anything, you guys kill me!"

The prince had bad intentions, misfortune was diverted, and he deliberately pointed at Chu Xinian: "It's him who sprinkled you with chili powder, not Gu, what's the use of staring at Gu."

Hearing the words, Qin Shuang glared at Chu Xinian again, his teeth creaking. Obviously, he didn't expect that he would stumble and be defeated by a helpless dude.

So Chu Xinian discovered that Qin Shuang didn't have independent thinking and was easily swayed by others' words.He thought for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Are you protecting Qin Daoyan?"

The tone of his words was very strange, with a hint of pity, and his eyes also concealed sympathy.It seems that Qin Shuang is very pitiful.

As soon as the word "Qin Daoyan" was mentioned, Qin Shuang immediately shut his mouth tightly and did not reveal a word.It's just that he was still curious by Chu Xinian's tone, and stared at him motionlessly with his eyes swollen from pepper powder.

Chu Xinian slowly rubbed his cuffs, and asked aloud: "You killed Jiuniang, right? They were born from the same root, so why bother each other?"

The prince didn't understand what Chu Xinian was going to do, but he still didn't think Chu Xinian could pry Qin Shuang's mouth open.

Xie Jingyuan observed Chu Xinian calmly, wondering what was going on in his mind.

Qin Shuang was so excited that he spit out a sentence, and said angrily: "She betrayed her adoptive father's upbringing, damn it!"

"Upbringing?"

Chu Xinian is best at catching people's weaknesses. He chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and said unhurriedly: "You are all born good seedlings who practice martial arts, with excellent bones, but it's a pity that you recognize a thief as your father. Know."

The thief in his mouth naturally refers to Qin Daoyan.

Qin Shuang respected this adoptive father very much. Hearing this, regardless of his injuries, he struggled hard, wishing to kill Chu Xinian: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Still unhurried, Chu Xinian asked slowly, "Aren't you curious about how your biological parents died?"

"Don't you wonder where Qin Daoyan found so many orphans to adopt, and why these orphans happen to be excellent martial arts geniuses?"

Qin Shuang's body froze for a moment, her eyes widened suddenly, she gasped for breath, nervously waiting for Chu Xinian's next answer.Even the prince pricked up his ears to hear the reason.

At this moment, Chu Xinian closed his mouth again and closed his eyes.

Qin Shuang gritted his teeth and spat out two words: "Say it!"

He was emotional: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"

There were gravels on the ground, Xie Jingyuan kicked hard, and smashed towards Qin Shuang impartially, knocking out a tooth of his, making him sobbing uncontrollably.

Xie Jingyuan's eyes were dark, and he said in a cold tone: "I'll kill you first!"

This person can't stay, if he seeks revenge in the future, the disaster will be endless.

Doctor Wan was beside him, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he dropped the medicine box: "If you want to kill him, what do you ask me to save him for? This old man has been busy decocting medicine and administering needles for him for a long time, but you said If you want to kill him, are you playing tricks on the old man?!"

He was so angry that he almost tore off his beard, and rushed forward to reason with Xie Jingyuan.Chu Xinian stopped him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Doctor Wan, the general said something in anger, so naturally we won't kill him."

Xie Jingyuan grinned, and snorted coldly.

Dr. Wan was trembling with anger: "You guys who killed thousands of knives will have a headache in the future, don't come to this old man again, kill and save, save and kill, are you playing with human life?!"

After saying that, he packed up the medicine box, turned around and left the dungeon angrily.

The prince snorted, and looked at Chu Xinian again: "What did you want to say just now, why didn't you continue, I'm still waiting to hear."

Chu Xinian smiled: "The prince knows that 16 years ago, Qin Daoyan led an army to conquer the Hu tribe in the north and killed [-] people."

The prince thought for a moment, then nodded: "It seems to be the case."

Chu Xinian walked slowly in front of Qin Shuang, copying his facial features across the void, chatting casually: "This man has extremely deep eye sockets, pale yellow eyes, a nose shaped like an eagle, and half of his beard. human lineage."

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and instantly understood what he meant, ignoring Qin Shuang's pale face, and added as if watching a show: "Qin Daoyan slaughtered thirteen tribes of the Hu tribe, and there are dozens of villages, no matter men, women, old or young, one No one was left alive, and he was impeached by the censor at the beginning, saying that he was too ruthless."

Where in the world are there so many orphans, and they all happen to be martial arts prodigies.

It can only be said that these orphans were carefully selected.

But what if you meet a young child with both parents?How to make them orphans?

The answer is self-evident.

Qin Shuang felt as if struck by lightning when he heard the words, his whole body trembled like chaff, and he was panting heavily, but he couldn't even say a word.What does Chu Xinian mean? !Did Qin Daoyan kill his parents? !

Chu Xinian glanced at Qin Shuang, said nothing, and signaled Xie Jingyuan and the prince to leave the dungeon together.

The cell door was locked, and behind them came Qin Shuang's crazily shouting.

Chu Xinian seemed to have never heard of it, and when he was far away, he said to Xie Jingyuan: "General, if he still refuses to say a word before tonight, then let him go back."

Xie Jingyuan frowned: "Why?"

Chu Xinian: "It's useless to keep a witness who doesn't want to speak up. If he didn't come back overnight, Qin Daoyan must be suspicious. Putting this person back on the contrary can calm his doubts, so that Qin Daoyan will not increase his vigilance against us and send killers. Silence."

The prince fell into deep thought: "Aren't you afraid that he will tell the truth and tell Qin Daoyan that we have arrested him?"

Chu Xinian asked him back: "Will you tell the truth to someone who is likely to be your father and enemy?"

The words just now planted the seeds of doubt in Qin Shuang's heart.Watching his behavior is definitely not indifferent.If Qin Shuang really wanted to find out the truth and returned to Qin Daoyan, he would definitely conceal the fact that he was caught by Xie Jingyuan.

The prince asked in a foxy tone: "Then how do you know that Qin Daoyan killed his parents, what if it is found out?"

Chu Xinian raised his eyebrows and asked back: "When did I say that Qin Daoyan killed his parents?"

He just said that Qin Daoyan had slaughtered a Hu village more than ten years ago, and that Qin Shuang happened to have some Hu blood in appearance, but he didn't say a word about anything else.

Some things are said in too much detail but are false, half-covered and half-revealed, which can increase credibility.

Chu Xinian just felt that Qin Daoyan's orphans had suspicious origins, so he put forward a hypothetical guess, and led Qin Shuang in that direction without any trace, and slightly separated his relationship with Qin Daoyan.

As for whether Qin Daoyan killed the parents of those orphans, probably only God knows.

The prince let out a breath slowly: "Chu Xinian, you are really insidious."

He suddenly began to believe that Chu Xinian was not from King Jin's side, and King Jin couldn't control such a person.

However, the crown prince didn't like Chu Xinian's appearance that he had the chance to win, so he lashed out, "If he doesn't do what you guessed, it depends on how you end up."

Chu Xinian smiled: "Your Highness, there are no sure things in the world, most of them rely on gambling."

The crown prince waved his hand and didn't say much to him: "I went back alone, and I didn't return all night. It's shameful for others to see. Remember to hide that letter well."

The latter sentence was addressed to Xie Jingyuan.In the letter written by Jiu Niang, the sentence "remembering the chaos in Tai'anmen in the past" hides too many secrets, and the relationship is very important.The prince and Xie Jingyuan seemed to know something, but they just didn't tell Chu Xinian.

Chu Xinian didn't think it mattered, anyway, he would find out sooner or later, and these two people couldn't hide it from him for long.

Before the prince left, he remembered something, and suddenly asked Xie Jingyuan with great interest: "By the way, the king of the small county of Guangping is going to host a banquet for the heroes tomorrow. I remember that he also posted a message for you. Will you go?"

Xie Jingyuan lost interest: "I won't go."

Chu Xinian: "Go."

The three of them spoke at the same time, causing the prince to look at it several times.

Xie Jingyuan squinted at Chu Xinian, his slender brows furrowed: "What's there to do, a group of sour scholars."

"Hey, I don't agree with you, Chu Xinian, don't listen to him, the banquet of heroes is fun. If he doesn't take you there, I will take you there."

After the prince finished speaking, he gave Chu Xinian a knowing look, which made people feel that he was not going to the feast of heroes, but a brothel.

The author has something to say: Prince: Take you to play, do you want to go?

Chu Xinian (excited): Go, go, go, go!

Xie Jingyuan: ...
