"Where did the thugs go?" Chen Bai lifted his slender chin, leaned over and said seductively.

His eyes were blank and empty, as if he had fallen into a dream she had weaved for him.

"Cai Guo."

Cai Guo?

Why did Cai Guo suddenly pop up again?

This answer really surprised Chen Baiqi, but she did not doubt that Posuo could not tell lies under her control. She frowned and said, "Could the thugs be sent by Marquis Cai Wen?"

Marquis Cai Wen, now the head of the Cai Kingdom, had met him at Lord Mengchang's banquet not long ago when she was disguised as "Chen Rong" to complete her mission as a dancer. At that time, he came to Caocheng to ask Lord Mengchang to advise him on marrying Princess Zheng.

, the two of them were smiling at the banquet, and Yan Yan reached a friendship, but they didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, he would change his face and stab Mengchang Jun in the back secretly.

Whispering nodded: "Indeed."

Chen Baiqi murmured: "Why is Marquis Cai Wen..." She stopped and asked directly: "Haosuo, do you know the truth?"

Whispering said: "The State of Cai has already formed a private alliance with the State of Zhao, and now both countries are probably affiliated with the State of Chu. If we align... we should have the intention of invading."

The last sentence may be just Wusha's private self-analysis through certain situational fragments and clues. It has not been confirmed by the actual truth. Therefore, when he said it, he used "should" and did not dare to be too sure.

Chen Baiqi's preliminary guess was that, in this case, Cai Wenhou chose this situation and time to come to Caocheng, not for the marriage of Zheng, but to spy on Caocheng's military situation.

"Since the two countries have formed a private alliance, then the previous conflicts were just to hide their eyes from others?"

Whispering: "Half truth and half lie, Marquis Cai Wen is too ambitious. Lord Zhao is not willing to marry his favorite princess, so he has been prevaricating."

Chen Bai only touched on this matter and did not investigate in depth. She said: "Then who did this deal with the Assassin League? Is it Marquis Cai Wen?"

He shook his head: "Marquis Cai Wen is only responsible for secretly arranging people to create chaos inside and outside Caocheng. The rest is arranged by Zhao Guo."

"Their purpose...is Lord Mengchang?"

Whispering blinked and hesitated before saying: "Not... not exactly."

"What's the meaning?"

"Sir said that."

Not entirely...that means there are other reasons that attract them to take action.

In Chen Baiqi's opinion, there is nothing special about the entire Caocheng, except that there may be secrets hidden in "Beiwai Alley".

"Is there any involvement from Chu State in this?" Chen Baiqi suddenly asked.

Whirlpool: "Not sure."

Chen Baiqi was silent for a while, then sighed: "I'm afraid the people sent from Chu State have already arrived."

Whispering didn't react to her talking to herself.

"What's going on in Beiwai Alley in Caocheng? Why did you come to Beiwai Alley?" When Chen Baiqi asked this question, he couldn't help but breathe lightly.

Whisper opened her mouth: "For..."

Just when Chen Baiqi was concentrating on listening to Whistle's reply, there was a loud bang, and the half-closed door was pushed open with great force.

Chen Baiqi raised his eyes for the first time and saw Hou Qing standing by the door with eyes as deep as water. Behind him was a fit and graceful beauty in warrior attire - Ya.

Chen Baiqi looked at him, his eyes had turned pitch black, and the black fluid spread out its wings. There seemed to be a lot of things inside, but it seemed as if they all dissipated into smoke in an instant.

As for Whistle, because of the sudden explosion in the quiet room, his dilated pupils seemed to have been pricked by needles, and his whole body convulsed for a moment before he suddenly woke up.

His hand reflexively pushed away Chen Baiqi who was blocking his chest, turned over and landed on the bedside, supporting the bed with one hand and stroking his swollen forehead with the other. He wrinkled his face in confusion for a while, and then

The memory came back quickly, and he remembered something, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Chen Baiqi's pale and weak harmless face, his eyes widened as if he saw a ferocious monster.

"you--"

"What a pity." Chen Baiqi looked away from Hou Qing, turned to Whispering, pursed his lips and smiled, and spread his hands.

Unfortunately, I only asked part of what I wanted to know.

His face, which was as beautiful as a flower, suddenly turned the color of pig liver. He clenched his teeth, his eyes were about to burst, his chest was rising and falling, and he said with unsteady breath: "How could you... possibly... be able to control..."

What a shame!

The soul-obsessing technique was broken, but instead he was controlled by the caster, and she did whatever she wanted!

This is the second time!

This makes Posuo, who has always been proud of his ability to control, almost collapse and go crazy!

He looked at Chen Baiqi's eyes with sparkling blue light, as if he was about to pounce on him at any moment and devour him!

Chen Baiqi still maintained his position of lying on his side after being pushed away by him, but his whole body was already gathering the strength to counterattack.

At this time, Hou Qing said calmly: "Worsa, that's enough."

The whirling was stopped by Hou Qing. He turned his head suddenly, the purple and red honey intertwined in his eyes filled with strangeness, and the sweet voice was full of venom: "Mr."

"I said, that's enough." Hou Qing's voice was still calm, but it had an irresistible power that made people listen.

Ya here also used a strange tone of Chinese dialect to say: "Bishao, don't disobey sir's orders."

Whirlpool's face changed again and again. He clenched his fists, turned around and glared at Chen Baiqi fiercely, then laughed evilly and said silently with his lips as pink and moist as petals: I will definitely get this debt back again.

System: Wusha's anger towards you is worth 40.

Chen Baiqi didn't expect that such a young man as sweet as the stamen of morning dew would have a sharp and narrow heart, and he would hold grudges whenever he disagreed. However, she did take advantage of him, so it wouldn't matter if he verbally criticized her like this.

gas.

She smiled back - OK, I'll wait.

But when he saw that she was still smiling, her smiling face froze, and then he glared at her with an even fiercer look, the fire in his eyes blazing.

She was provoking him, and she actually dared to provoke him again. He would never let her go!

System: Wusha's anger towards you is worth 10.

Even if Hou Qing knew what Chen Baiqi had done to Po Sua, he had no intention of interrogating her or "talking" to her. He only left a sentence asking her to have a good rest and took Po Sua away.

This unusual and strange attitude made Chen Baiqi unable to feel at ease.

After they left, Chen Baiqi felt an uncontrollable sweetness rush out of his throat, squirting out of the corner of his mouth. Spots dotted the bed, turning into red plums.

Her chest was tight and she felt a splitting headache, as if someone had split her head in half with an ax and pulled her soul out alive. She leaned back and fell heavily on the lacquered bed.

She squinted her eyes, her pupils gradually dilated, she summoned Xiaobai and told it: "Xiaobai, hide it and monitor it for me..."

Chen Baiqi only had time to give instructions halfway before his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

——

In the mist of chaos, there was a huge cone-shaped stone platform suspended in mid-air, and Chen Baiqi's consciousness returned to the system.

"You shouldn't take such a risk. If I don't bring your consciousness back to the system, you will lose your consciousness completely." After a long time, it was not the sound of mechanical prompts, but the cold and inorganic voice of the system in Chen Baiqi's mind.

sounded.

When Chen Baiqi met a "person" who could make people relax their guard, his entire "spiritual consciousness" fell into a ball, and he complained in distress: "I don't want to either, but I don't have time."

Seeing that Meng Changjun was about to attack the "Beiwai Alley", there were still so many mysteries that remained unsolved, and there were so many questions and hidden dangers. If she didn't use any means to attack by force, she would just keep her eyes open.

If you are blind and crawl forward gropingly, let alone Mengchangjun, even she will have to follow you.

system:"……"

Chen Baiqi's mind was like a ball of light. It wandered around and asked: "You haven't appeared for a long time."

The system did not reply.

"When you were away, the table system released basically just daily tasks." There was really very little "oil and water" in daily tasks, and Chen Baiqi had been resenting this for a long time.

"What is the table system?" the system asked.

Chen Baiqi explained to it: "Both of you belong to the system, but one is the outside and the other is the inside. The outside system is mechanical and the inside system is flexible. Add a nickname so that I can distinguish them easily."

The system did not deny her distinction. It said: "If you are reborn once, the system needs to make corresponding optimization and upgrades, and during the upgrade period, I will fall into sleep and run the code."

Chen Baiqi said she didn't understand it very well, but she caught an important point. She asked: "If you can appear now, it means the upgrade is successful. So, are there any changes in the system after the upgrade?"

"The use of skills in character professions has been simplified and strengthened. Many redundant functions in the old version have been eliminated. The new functions have added various professional-specific applications. Some aspects of the mall have been closed, leaving only the 'system mall'.

' and the 'merit value' mall make it easier to get started with the characters. Every time you upgrade to a level, you can conduct a roulette lottery. There are also some optimizations. You can open the system to explore by yourself."

Chen Baiqi said: "Then why can I suddenly be bound to Lord Mengchang? Is it because of the evolution of the system?"

System: "That's right, now the choice of master will be divided into two forms, one is voluntary, and the other... is to meet certain hidden conditions, and if you are bound to Lord Mengchang, you just agree with the latter, and the hidden conditions are also

It’s not an item that needs to be triggered to appear.”

When Chen Baiqi heard this, if it wasn't for the state of his soul, he would have really wanted to roll his eyes.

This is clearly one voluntary and one compulsory.

"That's all, what's my physical condition now? When can I wake up in reality?"

System: "It will take at least three days to recover before you can wake up."

When Chen Baiqi heard this, he felt his head pounding: "...Isn't that the day when Lord Mengchang attacked Beiwai Alley?"
