After Xiao Jingqi came to Qiangcheng, things went smoothly.
I once thought that I would encounter a series of difficulties and obstacles, but I never thought that everything would be as Xiao Jingqi thought.
Gradually, Xiao Jingqi felt that Beidou Camp was under his control.
And he also began to "entangle" Qiu Ruoruo.
After all, Xiao Jingqi's identity is that of the fifth prince, and his status is noble.
As the daughter of the Qiu family, Qiu Ruoruo should abide by her duties as a minister.
The prince invites you, so it's not easy to refuse casually.
Therefore, in the past few days, Qiu Ruoruo could not bear to be disturbed and could only watch Xiao Jingqi, a fly, dangling in front of his eyes.
On this day, Xiao Jingqi came to Taiping Villa again to look for Qiu Ruoruo.
The guards at the door were familiar with Xiao Jingqi, and Xiao Jingqi was also a good person. Once the money bag was opened, he rewarded these guards without hesitation.
After these few days of contact, Xiao Jingqi became very attracted to Qiu Ruoruo, not only because of Qiu Ruoruo's family background, but also because of Qiu Ruoruo's appearance and talent.
There is a virtuous wife in the prince's house, who can also help him on the road to winning the heir apparent.
If I marry Ruoruo, the Qiu family will turn to me, and at least one-third of the ministers in the court will be dependent on me. Furthermore, Qiu Ruoruo is definitely the best choice to study under Li Qingru and make suggestions for this palace.
Xiao Jingqi seemed to feel that Qiu Ruoruo was already his princess.
Walking into the lobby, Qiu Ruoruo's unhappy look was instantly erased.
Today, if Qiu Ruo wanted to go to Lianyun Mountain, Xiao Jingqi heard that he wanted to follow him.
"The fifth prince..."
"If you don't have to be so reserved. I'm a few years older than you, just call me Brother Jingqi."
Shameless... Qiu Ruoruo smiled lightly, covering up the nausea in her heart well.
"The mountain road is bumpy today, we'd better go back quickly." Qiu Ruoruo said.
Xiao Jingqi nodded and said, "Let's go, we'll set off right away."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the other courtyard, Yu Zhi chased them from behind and shouted, "Wait a minute."
I saw Yu Zhi running towards him, followed by someone else.
"Ruoruo, it's dangerous in the mountains. I'm worried about you going out as a weak woman." Yu Zhi said worriedly.
"It just so happens that Lei Jun has nothing to do these days, let him be your bodyguard."
Yu Zhi pushed forward and pushed Lei Jun forward.
The one-armed Lei Jun carried a knife behind his back and smiled heartily.
Yesterday, Yu Zhi asked him to come to Taiping Villa.
If you are idle, you are idle. Why not be a guard for my sister?
Lei Jun did not refuse. Li Haomiao was very kind to him, and Yu Zhi gave him the inheritance of Wuqin Lake.
Being a guard is just a trivial matter.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jingqi looked at the broken-arm Lei Jun and sneered: "Master Yu, you are worrying too much. With me protecting Ruoruo, who dares to act arrogant? As for this disabled person... I thought there would be no need for trouble."
Lei Jun looked at Xiao Jingqi without any anger.
The look in his eyes was as if the light of a thundering sword was extremely domineering.
"Below the ninth level of the Open Monument, I am invincible!"
This simple sentence made Xiao Jingqi look sideways.
Yu Zhi ignored Xiao Jingqi's reaction and smiled inwardly.
"Lei Jun, repeat what I told you!"
Lei Jun glanced at Xiao Jingqi again, and couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart... This guy should never have had the idea to set up Miss Ruoruo. Brother Yu was being polite enough by not killing him now.
"First, if Miss Ruoruo is here, I will be here. If Miss Ruoruo is not here... Bah, if Miss Ruoruo is not here, I will not be there."
"Second, you must follow Miss Ruoruo every step of the way."
"Third, if someone has evil intentions, no matter who they are, they will be killed directly."
As he finished speaking, Xiao Jingqi had an illusion, as if the Thunder Blade behind Lei Jun was on his neck.
Yu Zhi patted Lei Jun on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Very good, Ruoruo's safety will be left to you."
"Miss Ruoruo, come this way. Let's take this carriage." Lei Jun said.
Xiao Jingqi also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lei Jun.
"go away!"
Lei Jun's eyes flashed with blue lightning, as if he would take action at any time.
Xiao Jingqi gritted his teeth, walked away, and sat back in his carriage.
This is obviously to protect me!
Even a fool can see it.
Yu Zhi looked at this scene with great joy.
What he told Lei Jun was far more than that.
After the two carriages left towards Lianyun Mountain, Yu Zhi was about to walk into Taiping Villa when Xiao Jinghong's voice came from behind.
"His Royal Highness?"
"Brother Yu, you're welcome."
Xiao Jinghong's appearance in Qiang City also surprised Yu Zhi.
This idle prince who wandered the streets of Kyoto all day also participated in the court affairs and also made some achievements.
It can be seen that Jamel Xiao is not simple.
The two of them entered the mansion and sat across from each other to talk.
"Brother Yu, do you know the purpose of the fifth prince's trip?" Xiao Jinghong asked.
Yu Zhi glanced at Xiao Jinghong and said, "I know. Emperor Chu wants Beidou Camp and Qiang City. When the corn sticks are slowly ripe, the bears will come to pick them."
"Since Brother Yu knows, why do you still let the fifth prince do what he does?" Xiao Jinghong was puzzled.
In Xiao Jinghong's perception, Yu Zhi is not such a person who swallows his anger.
The calmer it is now, the more terrifying the storms will be in the future.
At this moment, Yu Zhi stared at Xiao Jinghong and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, what do you think I should do?"
Jamel Xiao also looked at Yu Zhi, trying to see something from his smiling face.
Xiao Jinghong sighed and said: "Although Brother Yu and I have only met each other a few times, I think I know Brother Yu well. In the past half month, the fifth prince has been able to win over people in Beidou Camp and can act freely in Qiang City. , it’s just that Brother Yu doesn’t want to interfere.”
"If the fifth prince really touches Brother Yu's bottom line, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the fifth prince to return to Kyoto alive."
Yu Zhi said with a smile: "The prince is joking. How could I take action against the fifth prince? Murdering the prince is a serious crime of treason."
Only a fool would admit such thoughts.
Faced with Yu Zhi pretending to be dumbfounded, Xiao Jinghong said nonchalantly: "Brother Yu, the fifth prince sees this trip to the west as an opportunity to seize the throne. What he does will inevitably touch your bottom line. But I want to live... ....”
Jamel Xiao’s intention is obvious.
After Xiao Jingqi left Qiangcheng, Xiao Jinghong came to Yu Zhi behind Xiao Jingqi's back, which already explained a lot of things.
Yu Zhi was silent for a moment, examining Xiao Jamhong.
After several months of management by Qiu Ruoruo, Qiang City has become Yu Zhi's territory.
There are two major sects, Shenyin Pavilion and Duandao Sect, in Lianyun Mountain outside the city, and most of their disciples have returned.
These are all forces that Yu Zhi can turn to.
"Living also comes with a price. Prince, what are your plans?"
"..."
An hour later, Xiao Jinghong walked out of Taiping Villa.
He came here just to have a showdown with Yu Zhi.
Sooner or later, Xiao Jingqi's behavior will lead to murderous intent, but Xiao Jingqi also has an unruly temper and does not take Yu Zhi seriously.
Jamel Xiao had to find a way out for himself in advance.
"What a pitiful life I have!" Jamel Xiao sighed quietly.
Meng Duanzhang appeared beside Xiao Jinghong at some unknown time.
"Your Majesty has foresight. Whether this trip will be a blessing or a curse is still unknown."
Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm borrowing your good words. However, Jing Qi really thought that His Majesty gave him the opportunity to seize the throne. Huh. As everyone knows, he is just a son that Your Majesty can abandon at any time."
Meng Duanzhang's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty made a huge bet. If the bet is successful, Beidou Camp will be owned by the royal family, and the Western Desert will be pacified, and there will be no more wars."
"If you lose the bet, the worst result is that one of the fifth princes will die."
Jamel Xiao said unhappily: "Sir, you are wrong. If we really lose, your and my lives will have to be handed down here. Our lives are also our lives."
Xiao Jinghong's bitterness and hatred made Meng Duanzhang laugh.
He had followed Jamel Xiao for many years, and after an encounter in Kyoto, he became Jamel Xiao's staff.
He understands Jamel Xiao.
This idle Prince Zhao is by no means a wanderer who only knows good wine and delicious food.
When it comes to political talent and learning, Jamel Xiao is not weak.
Xiao Jinghong is the eldest son of Prince Zhao. If the eldest son of the prince's family is too outstanding, he will arouse the fear of the royal family.
Bones and flesh cannibalism, brother and sister cannibalism... are all common occurrences.
Xiao Jinghong chose to live and also chose to stand on Yu Zhi's side.
He didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong. What mattered was that he could survive.
...
On the mountain road of Lianyun Mountain, Lei Jun stood unceremoniously between Qiu Ruoruo and Xiao Jingqi, separating them.
Xiao Jingqi said with disgust: "As a guard, just follow Ruoruo."
Lei Jun scratched his head and said, "Brother Yu said that we should never leave."
Xiao Jingqi said: "I have something to discuss with Ruoruo."
Lei Jun said again: "Just say what you say, it's not like you can't hear me."
"The secrets of the imperial court are not yours to know."
"Then don't say it. Wait until we get back to Qiang City."
Lei Jun was like a piece of brown candy, stuck to Qiu Ruoruo's body, not giving Xiao Jingqi a chance.
Recalling Yu Zhiqian's instructions, Lei Jun felt that what he was doing now was not enough.
Girl Ruoruo is such a good cabbage, she can't be spoiled by this pig.
Qiu Ruoruo smiled in her heart and said, "Brother Xiaoyu's idea is indeed a good one."
Lianyun Mountain is much more lively than before, with Shenyin Pavilion and Duandaomen temporarily settling here.
Shenyin Pavilion also began to build a sect formation, not only for Shenyin Pavilion itself, but also for Lianyun Mountain.
Nowadays, there are many more buildings in the mountain, which are no less impressive than the sects in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
For this reason, Qiu Ruoruo didn't care about manpower and material resources, and used whatever was available.
With Lei Jun blocking him, every time Xiao Jingqi wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Lei Jun.
Xiao Jingqi wanted to kill Lei Jun.
After watching the construction progress in Lianyun Mountain, it was already dusk when the three of them returned to Qiang City.
Xiao Jingqi held his breath and left in a hurry.
Qiu Ruoruo turned around and laughed out loud, jumping up and down and ran into the Taiping Villa, completely inconsistent with the lady she usually was.
"Thank you very much for today." Qiu Ruoruo turned around and thanked her while running.
Lei Jun looked at the lively Qiu Ruoruo. Just as he was about to speak out, Qiu Ruoruo's figure disappeared from his sight.
This is the first time in several days that Qiu Ruoruo is so happy.
In Qiu Ruoruo's impression, there is only one word to describe Xiao Jingqi - self-righteous.
He was proud of some clever things.
It seemed as if the Qiu family was bound to fall to him.
This made Qiu Ruoruo feel even more disgusted.
Qiu Ruoruo also dealt with it if she could. If she couldn't, she kept silent.
