Save the tragic villain in progress!

Chu Xinian is a person full of tricks and tricks, no matter what he does, he likes to think over and over again.Xie Jingyuan's blunt words made him froze on the spot, his pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't know how to answer.

"..."

None of them spoke.Insects were buzzing outside, and the moonlight quietly shone into the house, sprinkling clear light all over the floor.

The silver mask quietly fell on the brocade quilt, Xie Jingyuan stretched out his hand to grab it without a trace, the sharp edge left a red mark on the palm, revealing the unknowing tension.

He stared at Chu Xinian closely, breathing heavily while speaking, and asked in a low voice word by word in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Chu Xinian, do you dare..."

Chu Xinian did not move.

At this time, a little regret suddenly rose in his heart, maybe he shouldn't rush over to check on Xie Jingyuan's situation, and now he is in a dilemma, he can't get up or down.

The words that the system once said echoed in my ears——

Don't become emotionally attached to the quest target.

Don't worry about mission goals...

Produce emotions……

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Chu Xinian didn't make any moves.He never left, but he never followed Xie Jingyuan's words, as if caught in some kind of battle between heaven and man.

Xie Jingyuan grabbed his wrist, but his voice was a little lower this time, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Chu Xinian...?"

"...It's getting late, the general should rest early."

Chu Xinian closed his eyes, but after all his heart became cold.He didn't dare to look at Xie Jingyuan, gently pulled down the other's cold hand, turned and walked out of the inner room.The white robe brushed lightly on the carpet, making a soft sound.

"Chu Xinian—!"

Xie Jingyuan called out his name suddenly and coldly, his chest heaved and fluctuated, and there was a hint of coldness and coldness when he listened carefully.

Chu Xinian unconsciously stopped in his tracks, but he still couldn't help looking back at him.However, most of Xie Jingyuan's figure was hidden in the darkness, and his outline was indistinct.

Chu Xinian thought he would say something, but Xie Jingyuan didn't make any movement, his head was lowered, unable to see his expression clearly.After a long while, there was only a mocking chuckle on his lips, which was especially obvious in the silent night.

He seemed to be laughing at others, and at the same time he seemed to be laughing at himself, the mask in his hand was almost deformed.

"...Nothing, go to bed with you."

After a while, Xie Jingyuan spit out such a sentence, and the hazy night covered his mocking expression.He raised his hand to remove the bed curtain, covered everything tightly, and lay back on the bed with only a little bit of warmth, covering his scarred side face, closing his eyes and not making a sound.

Seeing this, Chu Xinian couldn't explain why, but suddenly felt pain like a blunt knife cutting flesh.He slowly walked back to the couch in the outer room, looking a bit lost.

Xie Jingyuan likes herself...

After several days of confusion, Chu Xinian finally came up with this answer. It would be a lie to say that he was not surprised, but he didn't seem to be too surprised.He sat on the side of the couch, unconsciously touched the jade pendant around his neck, and began to think about his feelings for Xie Jingyuan, but this kind of thing was obviously not his specialty.

For the first time in his life, Chu Xinian encountered something he couldn't understand.After thinking for a long time, I couldn't find the answer, so I could only call out the system: "System."

【I hate it, what are you calling me for in the middle of the night】

The system woke up from a dormant state, and a body shining like a diamond appeared in front of Chu Xinian's eyes in an instant, with a brilliance that was unmatched by the sun, and he grumbled disapprovingly.

For the first time, Chu Xinian didn't find it dazzling, and said to himself: "Tell me, how can a person see his own heart clearly?"

The system was a little confused about this question: [What what? 】

Chu Xinian could only ask a more common question: "How do I know if I like someone or not?"

The system thought to itself, how do I know, I have never met the little diamond I like in my life.But it didn't want to lose face in front of Chu Xinian, so it coughed a few times, and gave Chu Xinian some advice: [If you never see him again, will you be sad? 】

Chu Xinian said nothing: "..."

The system didn't realize what a stupid thing he had done at this time, so he continued to ask: [If he is with someone else in the future, will you regret it? 】

Chu Xinian couldn't imagine that scene, and unconsciously clenched his knees with his fingertips.

The system finally asked: [Are you special to him? 】

Chu Xinian fell into complete silence.

The system waited quietly for a long time, seeing that he was silent, and was about to say something.But Chu Xinian suddenly raised his hand to stop, signaling it to stop.

His white shirt has never been stained with dust.Now the tedious thoughts suddenly cleared up in the few questions just now.Chu Xinian smiled, his black long hair was scattered on his shoulders, like an immortal under the moon, he said with a firm tone, "I know the answer, thank you."

#Brother, is it a little too fast for you to understand#

The system had prepared a lot of words, but it didn't have time to give full play to it.It moved towards Chu Xinian, and only now remembered a very important question: 【Then who do you like? 】

Chu Xinian didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the inner room quietly.I thought that Xie Jingyuan should have fallen asleep at this time, let's talk to him tomorrow...

He finally lay down on the couch, covered himself with a quilt and prepared to sleep.

The system was terrified, and after realizing something, it panicked: [Wait!Dear, dear, don't sleep first, tell me who you like first? ! 】

Don't be Xie Jingyuan! ! !

Chu Xinian closed his eyes, and whispered meaningfully: "People are different from stones."

Stones are not emotional, but people are.Even if it is the same object, there will be feelings after wearing it for a long time.What's more, getting along every day is close at hand.

The system didn't have time to consider whether he was saying that he was hard-hearted, so she threw herself on the pillow with tears in her eyes: [Dear, don't!Don't have feelings for mission goals, it will affect my performance! 】

Chu Xinian hummed: "I know, you have said it many times."

but……

What does the performance of the system have to do with Chu Xinian? ? ? ?

You are right.

#system dies in place#

Although it was peaceful tonight, the people inside and outside the room were sleepless all night, and they all had their own thoughts.Early the next morning, when it was time to enter the palace for a banquet, Chu Xinian wanted to say something to Xie Jingyuan several times, but he never found the opportunity.

Xie Jingyuan had aroused the emperor's fear, so he should have kept a low profile, after all, no one knew what would happen at the banquet, so if he went, he would inevitably cause trouble.But he went anyway.

The four carriages staggered towards the palace, and the wheels rolled across the bluestone floor, making a rattling sound.

Xie Jingyuan was sitting in the carriage, wearing a black and luxurious robe, making his whole person look more and more gloomy.He was still wearing a thick wind cloak, and covered his lips with a handkerchief. From time to time, he let out a suppressed low cough, and there was a pale sickness between his brows.

He was expressionless, neither talking to Chu Xinian nor looking at Chu Xinian.His expression was a bit colder than the mask on his face.

There was a low table inside the carriage, Chu Xinian poured a cup of hot tea, and then gently stuffed the cup into Xie Jingyuan's cold hands: "General, drink some hot tea."

He smiled as usual, even a little deeper than usual.The white robe and jade belt, with the charm of a fairy, can make most of the daughters of Jingzhong fall in love with each other.Xie Jingyuan didn't look at him, closed his eyes and withdrew his hand.

Chu Xinian was taken aback when he saw this, he held the porcelain cup and rubbed it unconsciously, guessing that Xie Jingyuan might be angry.It's just that I want to talk about it in the carriage, it always feels a little out of place.

He put down the cup, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to hold Xie Jingyuan's hand.Although it was done before, but it was all ignorant behavior, this time the meaning is quite different.

Xie Jingyuan's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to shake him off, but Chu Xinian clasped his fingertips hard, unable to break free, and asked in a low voice: "Is the general angry with me?"

Xie Jingyuan didn't answer, but looked at him with long and narrow eyes, and threatened with indistinct emotion: "Chu Xinian, do you want your hands anymore?"

He clasped Chu Xinian's hand back hard, as long as he moved a little, the opponent's tendons would be broken immediately.

Chu Xinian knew people's hearts well, so he naturally guessed that Xie Jingyuan would not do this, and the other party didn't even use three points of strength.He let Xie Jingyuan hold it tightly, smiled suddenly, and asked suddenly: "When did the general like me?"

These words were like thunder on the ground, and Xie Jingyuan let go of him like an electric shock.

Chu Xinian calmly shook his sleeve robe, trying to break free from Xie Jingyuan's shackles, he had no less than twenty ways.Look, the other party just let go.

He asked again: "When did the general like me?"

Xie Jingyuan twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, he probably wanted to make a sneer and sarcasm expression, but he failed.Two clusters of anger suddenly ignited in the dark eyes: "Who said this general likes you?!"

He didn't know how desperate and flustered his expression was.

Chu Xinian stared at him for a moment, then suddenly leaned over to Xie Jingyuan, and pushed him against the carriage wall.Nose tip to nose tip, forehead to forehead, the rest of his breath was hot when he spoke, and he felt a little itchy: "If the general doesn't like me, why did you kiss me?"

It was Chu Xinian who Xie Jingyuan first kissed, so he lost.

When encountering such a situation, it is only natural that he is defeated, and he has searched and searched and failed to find an answer that does not lose face.

Xie Jingyuan's face was stiff and he couldn't speak.He squinted his eyes, with an unruly expression on his face: "So what if I kiss you, I can kiss you if I want to. Do I need your permission?"

What I said is really unreasonable to stir up three points.

Chu Xinian couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the words, why didn't he think Xie Jingyuan was so interesting before.He touched the cold mask on Xie Jingyuan's face, and said slowly: "Well...if it's someone else, of course it won't work, if it's a general..."

Xie Jingyuan subconsciously tilted his head to avoid his touch, only felt that half of his injured face was so obtrusive, it was embarrassing that even the mask couldn't cover it.His fingertips slowly clenched into fists, thinking about what happened last night, he couldn't help feeling even more embarrassed.

He felt that Chu Xinian had nothing good to say.

But Chu Xinian said in a low voice: "If you're a general, you can do anything..."

Xie Jingyuan paused when he heard the words, and looked up at Chu Xinian in surprise, not understanding what this sentence meant.However, before he had time to say anything, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Jiuyong's voice sounded from outside: "General, you have arrived outside the palace gate."

Xie Jingyuan's thoughts were interrupted, and his expression was irritable.

Chu Xinian looked out, raised his eyebrows lightly, thinking that he was not in a hurry.He sat back to his original position, held Xie Jingyuan's hand again, this time tightly, and said with a smile: "General, get out of the carriage."

Xie Jingyuan was disturbed by what he said just now, so he was taken out of the carriage by Chu Xinian in a daze.

The gates of the palace were strictly checked, and the gatekeepers carefully checked whether the ministers of civil and military affairs who were attending the banquet were carrying weapons. If they had swords or knives, they were not allowed to enter.This is the rule set by Emperor Yan, even first-rank ministers like Qin Daoyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Xie Jingyuan, General of Bingma, are no exception.

Chu Xinian let the soldiers check, thinking that Emperor Yan was as suspicious as in the original book.He has a polite demeanor and a good demeanor, and at the same time he was a big hit at the group of heroes banquet a few days ago, which attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials who came to the banquet.

Jin Ruhai also came to the banquet, dressed in a crimson robe, adding to his majesty.He didn't appear to be very close to Chu Xinian in full view, he only nodded slightly when he passed by.

Chu Xinian smiled faintly, and also bowed his hands in salute.Their gazes meet him in mid-air, silently conveying information that only they themselves know.

Chu Xinian did not shy away from showing his closeness to Xie Jingyuan in front of others. They walked side by side along the way, looking harmonious and harmonious.

Xie Jingyuan's mind was in a mess, he was still thinking about what Chu Xinian said just now, and he couldn't calm down even after he was seated.However, there were too many people in the palace, so it was inconvenient to ask questions, so I had to hold back for the time being.

Chu Xinian came today to watch white opera.Observe what Emperor Yan looks like, and see if Zhou Wenchen, the commander of the imperial army, has changed his personality. Of course, the most important thing is to give Qin Daoyan a fatal blow.

Xie Jingyuan hated Qin Daoyan.

This was the conclusion Chu Xinian came to after secretly observing for a long time.Although he hasn't found out the reason yet, it would be fine if he can eradicate an old enemy for Xie Jingyuan, and maybe he can reduce the degree of blackness of the opponent.

Chu Xinian couldn't help but look up at the scarlet-robed official opposite.The other party has gray hair on the temples, an old face, and a black eye patch on his right eye. He looks quite different among the guests, and he is Qin Daoyan.

His eyes were shrewd, and when he landed on Xie Jingyuan, he pierced like a knife.

Chu Xinian smiled and patted Xie Jingyuan's hand under the table, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How about I get rid of this person for the general today?"

Xie Jingyuan once thought about killing Qin Daoyan, but failed.The other party has hundreds of adoptive sons under their knees, and they guard each other all night. It is really difficult to eradicate them, so they can only wait for the right time.But Chu Xinian directly chose the simplest method, killing people with a borrowed knife.

Xie Jingyuan may not be able to kill Qin Daoyan, but Emperor Yan can.

Xie Jingyuan squinted at Chu Xinian, always feeling that he had unknowingly been dug out of many secrets by this person: "When did this general say that he wanted to get rid of Qin Daoyan?"

Chu Xinian remained silent, and motioned to him for the prince who had just entered the table, with a slight curl on his lips: "Even if the general doesn't want to, the prince definitely does."

On the day the prince left the palace to offer sacrifices to his mother, Qin Shuang killed all the attendants around him, and almost died on the spot.With new and old hatred added together, it would be strange if he didn't kill Qin Daoyan.

Xie Jingyuan's deep gaze fell on Qin Daoyan, and he didn't know what kind of emotion was mixed with it. He only felt that the strong sun in the sky could not ease the gloomy cold air.

He pinched the cup on the table, pressed it to his lips, closed his eyes, seemed to recall something from the past, and said word by word: "Chu Xinian, if you get rid of Qin Daoyan today, half of my life, Xie Jingyuan, will be yours."

Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words, thinking that Xie Jingyuan really had an old grudge with Qin Daoyan, he smiled: "What do I want to do with half my life, why don't you tell me, General, how to get the other half of my life?"

They were talking, when suddenly a eunuch's singing came from outside: "Your Majesty is here—"
