The maid's eyes widened again, and the redness in them seemed to dissipate.
It was obvious that her brother was the only relative she had in the world.
And she had just said that the other party was not going to die soon, and that her parents and sister had suffered accidents.
Does this mean that the reason why she came here with the determination to die has something to do with the fact that she will soon have no relatives anymore?
Qi Xiao didn't know if her little Phoenix had thought so much, but her words just now undoubtedly hit the target and made the other party a little shaken.
But this is obviously not enough...
"Oh, you nobles all act like dogs and talk sweetly. Is this another trick you use to play on stupid people like me? Do you think I will believe it?"
The maid thought that if she said this, Feng Xi would explain something to her, or offer a better condition.
However, Feng Xi just said:
"Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you will be defeated."
maid:"?"
Is this how you treat people who threaten you?
Feng Jing and others on the side were almost numb to this.
Apart from anything else, at least they all accepted the fact that Feng Xi was a madman.
Seeing that the matter had reached a deadlock, and the life and death of the hostages in her hands seemed to be no longer a threat to Feng Xi, the maid finally said coldly:
"What opportunity are you talking about to change the status quo? And what do you mean when you say my brother and I don't have to die?"
Feng Xi tilted her head and didn't even look at the maid. She looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Obviously, she felt that the negotiation was too tiring and she didn't want to talk anymore, especially Feng Yunxuan, who she didn't think was a good person.
But the maid became more anxious and said:
"Say it! What do you mean!"
No one wanted to die, not even her, nor her brother. If there was a chance of survival, who wouldn't want to give it a try?
Seeing the maid looking at her unblinkingly, and Feng Jing and others beside her seeming to want to open their mouths to help, Feng Xi finally reached out and grabbed Qi Xiao's sleeve.
And while Qi Xiao raised her hand in confusion, she dragged the person forward and placed her where she originally stood.
Facing the maid's confusion, she kindly explained this time:
"Do you know who he is? He is my consort, the young minister of Dali Temple in Dazhao."
maid:"?"
so?
"His surname is Qi. He is from the Qi family in the North. He is the only person in charge of the Qi family today. You don't know about Qi Commander Qi Yuanming who has been guarding the Jokhang border for thirty years, right?"
The maid was stunned.
She looked at Qi Xiao in front of her, and then at Feng Xi who was confident, her eyes clearly showed knowing.
Mingzhou is the fiefdom of Zhaoming Princess Feng Xi. They naturally know something about the princess surrendering to the youngest son of the Qi family, but as far as they know, he is not favored and is still a waste.
Seeing the maid's hesitation, Feng Xi added the fire slowly and said:
"Rumors, they are all rumors! Now the prince-in-law is the chief, ahem, butler of my palace. He said that no one dares to say anything, and I don't care at all. You can't believe my character, the Qi family After protecting you for so many years, don’t you believe it?”
"I……"
The maid hesitated to speak, while Feng Jing and others on the side even opened their mouths to scold Feng Xi for being sinister!
Isn't it just insidious?
The Qi family has defended the Jokhang border for thirty years and has fought countless battles. Their military achievements are even second to none in the dynasty.
Not to mention that Qi Shuai, the crown prince, and the second son have all died for the country one after another. The people have a high tolerance for the Qi family. Since two years ago, all forces in the court and China have wanted to attack Qi Xiao, and the princess Feng Xi has not protected Qi Xiao. It can be seen that Qi Xiao is still alive and well.
If Qi Xiao wants to die, he must die without any flaws, or he must deserve it.
Otherwise, the common people will be the first to be unable to explain!
Is Feng Xi using Qi Xiao to silence the maid?
Well, not only that, she was also gagging them.
Because if they wanted to interrupt, they couldn't say anything wrong with the Qi family. Even if they attacked Qi Xiao, they would be suspected of being good and getting an advantage.
However, the lazy Feng Xi didn't think so much at all, she just patted Qi Xiao on the shoulder with a trusting look and said:
"If you have any grievances, you can tell him, and he will definitely make the decision for you. Moreover, his sister-in-law is a miracle doctor, you know the one who is number one in the imperial court, right?"
Seeing that no one here questioned Feng Xi's words, the redness in the maid's eyes gradually faded away.
But out of caution, she still said:
"What if you deceive me into believing that I am powerless and you go back on your word as soon as I release the hostages?"
This time it was no longer Feng Xi who answered the maid, but Qi Xiao, a good long-term worker who was introduced by Feng Xi and who was obviously about to start working again:
"This girl, Little Phoenix, she has been very obedient in negotiating with you today. If she hadn't seen you as a kind person, you would have been forced to this point by circumstances. Do you think you can hold the eldest princess hostage in front of us until now? What?"
The maid was startled. She was just about to ask Qi Xiao what he meant by this, when she felt a chill on her neck. It was the feeling of a dagger touching her skin.
"you……"
Just as she was about to die together with Feng Yunxuan in front of her, she noticed that the person behind her who was holding her hostage withdrew the dagger and quietly retreated.
At this moment, she felt terrified, and her eyes changed when she looked at Qi Xiao and Feng Xi.
Because she didn't realize there was anyone behind her until the person behind her put the dagger against her neck.
If that person really wanted to kill her, she might have just...
While her back was getting chills, Qi Xiao flicked her finger again, and saw an air blade flying, directly cutting open an iron lamp stand holding a lantern.
If this air-repelling blade falls on her...
"Did you see that? If the princess wants to kill you, I have many ways to take your life. I won't even give you a chance to tell you about the princess's alleged evil deeds."
Reaching out and pinching the back of Feng Xi's neck again, Qi Xiao was really proving to the maid in front of him that Feng Xi was harmless.
After all, the little phoenix usually beat him up, but he was really not an easy phoenix to deal with.
"You really didn't lie to me..."
The struggle in the maid's eyes was already very weak, and Qi Xiao gave the camel the last straw at this moment:
"To say the least, if you kill the eldest princess, you will die. I believe that the worst outcome of the Princess Protector's Mansion will be death. The difference is that if you choose the former, you and your brother will definitely die, but if you choose the latter, you will survive."
The maid took a heavy breath, and the force holding Feng Yunxuan gradually relaxed.
Qi Xiao also turned around at this moment, looked at her again and said:
"Girl, I won't say too much. I can only say that it's up to you whether you want to bet or not, but you absolutely can't kill my little Phoenix."
So even if you kill Feng Yunxuan in front of you, Princess Zhaoming you want to kill will be fine.
Clang.
The dagger in the maid's hand fell to the ground. She understood the implication of Qi Xiao's words and put everything she had on the gambling table.
She wanted to live and live with her brother.
