In other people's territory, even a dragon has to be temporarily restrained. Everyone knows this truth. The two armies that were previously arrogant suddenly felt a little sense of crisis. They no longer focused on nailing each other, but deliberately guarded against the movements around them.

.

As a result, the two parties faced each other and turned into a three-party confrontation. No one made any rash moves and maintained a strange level of balance, only waiting for instructions from the person who gave the order in their family.

Looking at the Netherworld Legion that had been ambushing all around, Houqing was not surprised. She always took one step at a time and looked at ten steps before doing anything. She was very resourceful. She had expected that they were coming today, so how could she not be prepared.

Ever since Chen Baiqi interrupted them, Hou Qing had been looking at her. Even though her innocent little face had no expression, it still had an indescribable beauty. Even among the thousands of maple trees, she was the most deadly.

attraction.

He knew he couldn't take anyone away today.

It wasn't because of Chu Cangyue or the Netherworld Army, but her will was not shaken by him.

No... maybe there was a moment.

He looked at Chen Baiqi. Her face was very beautiful now, more delicate and beautiful than that of "Chen Jiao Niang" and "Chen Rong". But when he looked at her, he never looked at her face. He was always looking for her face.

A pair of eyes, serious and focused, a gaze that made his heart tremble.

When he didn't see her, he ran through countless ways in his mind that he could use to manipulate her, destroy her, just destroy her, so that she would be his alone, he clearly thought so.

But as soon as they saw her, people would uncontrollably become soft-hearted towards her, compromise, and even hate her until their hearts ached, thinking of leaving a way out for her.

How ridiculous, his pursuit only resulted in being given up again and again, but his legs seemed to be useless and he stubbornly stayed where he was and refused to leave.

Chu Cangyue was right, he was the one who refused to turn around even after being chased away.

What can we do? Everyone has a destined fate in this life, and there is no way to avoid it. There is no other way but to sink deeper and deeper.

She is his "doom".

He is doomed.

Thinking of her unfinished "if", he didn't know what he was recalling. He crossed Chu Cangyue and stepped on a burned-out Kongming lantern stand. The cracking and shattering sound made him pause. He lowered his eyes.

I saw that part of the Kongming Lantern had not been completely burned by the fire, and someone had written eight lingering and pathos-like characters on it with cinnabar mixed with ink.

He wanted to take her away by any means necessary, but he completely ignored her reluctance and her thoughts. His greed for her day after day had already become a disease implanted in his bone marrow, but his heart was obviously not cruel enough for her.

.

Who would have thought that such a person, who was called wolfishly ambitious by the courtiers and kings of various countries, and who was always ruthless and unscrupulous in his actions, would seem to have a different heart when he came to her. She would knead him casually and become completely soft.

.

He stared blankly for a while, then bent down and tore off the small half of unburned yellow paper from the Kongming Lantern. He dusted it off and the writing was still clearly visible.

"Chen Baiqi, I know what you were going to say just now, and I allow you to."

Chen Baiqi was stunned. He didn't know why at first, but after thinking about it for a moment, he looked at him in surprise, his pupils trembling slightly.

The ripples spread out in circles, accumulating wider and wider, and finally set off a wave.

"Do you... know what you are talking about?" she asked with a frown, somewhat confused as to how he understood it.

He raised his eyes, his exquisite jade eyes were slightly narrowed, and his thin lips curved slightly: "Of course I know, but you, do you still remember the hostages you left in Zhao country?" After asking, without waiting for Chen Baiqi to answer, he stared at

He stared at her eyes and continued slowly: "If you let me know that you and Xie Yingyi have become a real couple, then I will chop them into pieces one by one, make them into meat, and send them to the Qin State Tutor's house to share with others.

And eating it, you know... I can do it."

Real couple?

Did he want them to be a couple in name only?

Chen Baiqi was "threatened" by him, thought of something, and asked: "Is this your condition?"

She had indeed promised him when she left, and she would let him impose any conditions when redeeming her.

"How can this be a condition?" Hou Qing disagreed. He talked to her while approaching her. This time Chu Cangyue did not intervene. He gently placed the folded paper in her hand: "This

That's my condition."

Chen Baiqi subconsciously looked at the paper in his hand. There were stains on the paper. It was stained on Hou Qing's hand. Not much, because his wound was not big and the blood had dried up. She knew it was the blood stain he had just removed from the Kongming lantern on the ground.

It was torn off... is there anything written on it?

She was not in a hurry to read it, and Hou Qing did not urge her to read it either.

As for the threat he said, it was a real threat, unless she really didn't care about so many lives under her control.

Doesn't Chen Baiqi care?

No, of course she cares.

Therefore, this is not a condition for negotiation for Hou Qing, because he has the bargaining chip in his hand, so why waste another "condition".

After all, Hou Qing and Chu Cangyue were not young people with bright minds who turned into beauties in anger. In the end, they did not trigger this small-scale Three Kingdoms war, but this war would come sooner or later. This was what they knew in their hearts.

Things that are obvious.

Not here, but later.

Hou Qing got on the carriage, lifted up the black gauze curtain, and his sight fell into the dark forest where the light could not reach. Zhao's army was neatly lined up behind and waiting. In the quiet night, his voice was cooler than the night wind.

"Chen Baiqi, you have to remember that what happened today will never be over with me..."

The fact that she wore a wedding dress and married someone else will always remain in his memory like a thorn.

Every word of this sentence hit Chen Baiqi's heart hard. After he took Zhao Jun away for a long time, Chen Baiqi stood there without moving.

"You care about him."

Chen Baiqi heard Chu Cangyue talking, but she didn't respond.

"I know what you are thinking, but Chen Baiqi...it's useless. I can't give up on you."

She turned around and looked at him inexplicably.

He said calmly: "It's like, will you give up your life?"

Chen Baiqi was stunned.

He smiled bitterly and tenderly at her, like him but not like him: "Your Majesty is different from me. He can get preferential treatment and tolerance from you, but I don't, because I squandered those years ago.

So I am not qualified to force you to do anything."

But the Queen can appeal and get angry with confidence.

After Hou Qing left, Chu Cangyue did not stay long. He did not force her, nor did he want to take her away. He would not do anything in front of her. He would only follow what he thought in his heart and walk to her step by step.

Let her have no other choice.

When he was leaving, he left a message to her.

"I will wait for you. In this life, until the last moment of my death, I will wait for you to look back."

When the wedding scene was empty again, leaving only messy footprints and messes, Chen Baiqi looked at the wedding scene that had passed through the hurricane, his dark eyes clear and calm.

She felt that her breathing was not smooth, and the flickering light of the fire pulled the shadow into pieces. She tore off her valuable new wedding dress with one hand, and wore a close-fitting and thin magnolia vine buttoned uniform underneath. The sleeves and arms were narrow and straight, and the hem was

Like orchids blooming, her gaze inadvertently swept across the broken cup on the ground, and then froze.

Such an ordinary cup had dark red blood stains on it, but just now they seemed to be fighting for something important.

What's so special about it?

She stretched out her hand, and at this moment, she saw the paper that was unconsciously clenched in her hand. This was the "condition" given to her by Hou Qing before leaving.

She slowly unfolded it.

Illuminated by the fire, eight words were clearly written on it - a perfect match, a lifelong alliance.

Chen Bai raised his lips and smiled, but then he stopped laughing.

"A perfect match, a lifelong alliance..."

She read it softly, but another sentence of his came to mind.

"Chen Baiqi, you have to remember that what happened today will never be over with me..."

She lowered her head, her expression blending into the darkness so that no one could detect her.

Qin Wei behind him stepped forward hesitantly: "Master..."

"Walk."

She only uttered one word coldly.

They suddenly noticed a difference in the atmosphere, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated with others.

When she was left alone, Chen Baiqi raised his face. There were no tears in his eyes, but his eyes were red as if he was about to cry.

She asked as if talking to herself: "Why do you do this?"
