At that moment, Qin Mubai and the soldier left the military camp and headed for the small woods.
"Are any brothers injured?" he asked.
"Three brothers failed." The soldier said angrily, "That woman is so cruel, and her martial arts skills are also very good..."
Qin Mubai frowned and thought: It seems that after the assassination was revealed, Chen Yan realized that I might be suspicious of her, so she struggled to escape. That proves even more that there is something wrong with this woman, otherwise why would she be afraid of seeing me again when she comes back!
All mysteries should be answered in her!
Not long after, the grove arrived.
More than ten hundred knights were distributed throughout the woods, closely monitoring the area to ensure the absolute peace and safety of this place.
When they arrived at the cabin, a member of the Hundred Cavalry Troop came up to pay homage and said, "General, he is in the house. He is tied up."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Qin Mubai nodded approvingly and walked into the wooden house.
Chen Yan sat on the ground with her face turned away, her hands tied behind her back, her feet tied and bent backwards, connected to the ropes on her hands and wrapped around her waist.
Such a cold, voluptuous and thorny beauty was tied up and put to the ground. Qin Mubai felt a little cruel for a moment, but a strange pleasure passed through his heart.
Everyone else wisely exited the cabin and walked a few feet away.
Qin Mubai walked to Chen Yan and stood three steps in front of him, and said calmly: "Why is this necessary?"
"Hmph!" Chen Yan sneered without saying a word, not even turning her head to look at Qin Mubai.
"Actually, people have their own ambitions, and they don't agree with each other. I don't force you to cooperate with me." Qin Mubai walked to her and knelt down in front of her and said, "But since you have chosen to stand on the same front as me, then We should abide by the agreement between us. Is it consistent with your ethics if you go back on your word?"
"Sacrificing small righteousness for the sake of great righteousness is what a chivalrous person does!" Chen Yan said in a deep voice, still as cold as ice and as hard as iron.
"Which is a small righteousness or a great righteousness?" Qin Mubai sneered, touched his waist and took out a sharp dagger.
The bright blade reflected the moonlight reflected from the window, and it happened to shine on Chen Yan's pretty and cold face.
"Kill if you want, why bother talking nonsense!" Chen Yan turned her head, her phoenix eyes with angry eyelashes trembling, and she bit her silver teeth and shouted.
"Wouldn't it be a pity to kill you like this?" The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth raised slightly, revealing a weird smile that was completely evil with a hint of wandering.
"You... dare!!" Chen Yan had never seen anything in the world before. She obviously realized what Qin Mubai was implying and shouted angrily.
"Actually, this is not a question of whether I dare or not, but whether I am interested in something." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, gently patted the cold blade on her delicate face, and said, "Such a beautiful and delicate face. Isn't it a pity that your face is scratched like this? It's even more outrageous that such an attractive and plump body is so beautiful. Chen Yan, in normal times I might have done something to you. What. But now, I’m not very interested.”
"Take your dirty hands off and get out!" Kai Yan yelled angrily and twisted her body to avoid it. Unexpectedly, she was tied into such a snake shape, and the curves became more prominent when twisted, which actually increased her attractiveness.
Qin Mubai couldn't control his eyes and lingered on her plump breasts for several times. He shook his head and sighed: "You are really a beauty. However, your danger is far greater than your attractiveness. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid the man has already been obsessed with you, but fortunately I won't."
As he spoke, Qin Mubai moved the knife along her fair and tender face, down to her slender and tender jade neck, and gradually landed in front of a pair of plump breasts.
"Beast! I usually see you being sanctimonious, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless!" Chen Yan blushed with shame and anger, and spat in Qin Mubai's face in embarrassment.
Qin Mubai quickly turned his head to avoid the spittle and quickly returned to his original position. Chen Yan stared in shock, obviously shocked by Qin Mubai's quick reaction.
The knife still stopped between Chen Yan's breasts.
"I'll ask a few questions and you answer them. If you answer well, I'll let you go. If you don't answer well... there are always many ways for men to torture women." Qin Mubai sneered, even a little ferocious. And evil.
In fact, he is not very used to this type of "torture to extract confessions." It's just that Chen Yan is such a special woman that she doesn't accept either soft or hard advice. The better you treat her, the more she will think you have ulterior motives and be dismissive of you; the more respect you treat her, the more she will look down on you. Because of this, if you want to have a good conversation with her and ask her why, she has a thousand lies to deceive you.
I had no choice but to resort to such dirty tricks.
Chen Yan lowered her head and looked at the knife on her chest. She suppressed her anger and took a deep breath: "You ask! Take your dirty hands away first."
Qin Mubai took back the knife, but put the blade between his nose and smelled it, with a frivolous smile on his face.
"Shameless!" Chen Yan blushed and gritted her teeth.
"It's time to get down to business." Qin Mubai asked casually, playing with the knife, "First question, what is your relationship with Zhu Chengwen?"
"I didn't lie to you about our affairs." Chen Yan said.
"Okay, I believe what you said. Since you are her widow, then I have a second question." Qin Mubai said, "Did you really come to Jishan just to avenge him?"
Chen Yan's expression remained as cold as ice with a hint of anger, and she said, "Of course."
"Then why are you so anxious to kill Zhang Tianci now?" Qin Mubai asked, "I have clearly told you that it was a group of people who killed Zhu Chengwen, not a single person. You are going to assassinate like this. , even if you succeed, you will definitely be able to alert the snake, and it will be difficult to find out the accomplices behind the scenes. This is completely contrary to your original intention of revenge. What is the purpose of your eagerness to kill Zhang Tianci? "
"It's very simple, I can't trust you." Chen Yan snorted coldly and said, "The bigger the official position, the more hypocritical the person. You only know that officials protect each other. Yesterday Zhang Tianci came to the military camp to give you money and food. God knows Is there any conspiracy between you? So I must kill him personally to avenge my husband! And I must leave you because you may betray me at any time!"
"You lied!" Qin Mubai suddenly shouted, "You actually have the nerve to bite me back. Even now, you are still lying!"
"You are so smart, you are very arrogant. But people like you often die miserably for no reason." Chen Yan sneered with disdain and turned her head.
"Really? It seems that you are a little confident, so your background must be very strong, right?" Qin Mubai smiled nonchalantly and said, "You just talked about the word 'righteousness' with me, which is good. I would like to ask you, what is righteousness? I believe that you are Zhu Chengwen's widow. It is not wrong for you to avenge your husband, but this is a small righteousness if more innocent people are killed because of your reckless actions. Man, what's the difference between you and Zhang Tianci and others? Furthermore, let me assume that you killed Zhang Tianci to silence someone, to hide the big boss behind you from being exposed, whether you were punished by others or out of necessity. If you act like this out of repayment, you are still attached to your own selfish interests and petty righteousness.”
"You can shut up." Chen Yan sneered indifferently, "You have brought out the state of affairs and the great man of chivalry again. I have seen many officials like you. You talk about hypocrisy, but in fact you are full of male thieves and female prostitutes. . You are hypocritical, insidious, and cunning, and you will do anything to achieve your goals. In contrast, I draw my sword and take five steps to achieve my grudges, which is much easier than you. Don't talk too much. I will kill you if you want. I don’t want to hear any nonsense from you! Also, if you want to be scornful of me, I will kill myself immediately! After becoming a ghost, I will make sure you have no peace day and night!”
Qin Mubai looked at Chen Yan with great disappointment and confusion, shook his head and sighed, swung his knife down to cut off the rope that bound her, and turned his back: "Let's go!"
Chen Yan was stunned for a long time, then untied the rope and stood up: "Do you think I will be grateful to you? Are you ashamed of yourself, playing hard to get, or sending someone to follow you secretly? I advise you to think clearly. Although you The skill is not bad, but if you really push me into a hurry, you and these people outside will not be able to stop me. "
"Go away-" Qin Mubai roared angrily, so frightened that the pawns standing far away jumped in shock.
"Our general seems to have never been so angry!..."
Chen Yan's pretty face trembled and she was a little shocked for a moment. She stared at Qin Mubai's back in confusion, and for a moment she felt entangled and hesitant: Why can't I understand this man
"You asked me to leave, but I refused to leave!" Chen Yan said stubbornly, chuckled, leaned against a pillar in the room with her elbows, and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly let me go. "
"Because I don't want to kill you." Qin Mubai said quietly, still facing her.
Chen Yan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a slight look of horror appeared on her face: "So, you really have murderous intentions towards me?"
"good."
"Why?"
"Because if you don't die, more people will die." Qin Mubai said lightly, "There will be many innocent people among them, and it may include me. If it is more serious, Chao Gang will be in chaos because of this, and the world will be troubled. Only by killing you can these be eliminated."
"Then why did you suddenly let me go again?"
"Because I really don't want to kill someone who values love and justice." Qin Mubai sighed softly and said, "There are big righteousness and small righteousness among righteous people. Some people are born for righteousness, and some people are born for righteousness all their lives. Those who uphold righteousness look down on those who uphold righteousness, and those who uphold righteousness cannot understand those who uphold righteousness. Neither of them can force the other party to act according to their own ideas. , such people have their own beliefs and opinions, and live a persistent and wonderful life. Now, there are fewer and fewer such people in the world. To tell you the truth, I had the same purpose yesterday afternoon without hesitation. I killed six people, six strangers to me. I didn’t feel guilty about killing them, but I couldn’t bear to kill you.”
After hearing this, Chen Yan was silent for a moment, lowering her head as if in deep thought. After a long time, she said: "I really don't know whether I should believe you."
"It's best not to." Qin Mubai said, "Sometimes, I can't trust myself. Because I can't help myself with many things. You just said something that made my heart tremble. You You scold me and say, "You are hypocritical, insidious, and cunning, and you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. In contrast, I draw my sword and fight for my grudges." You are right. In fact, I want to be like you. Ruyi's grudges are cut to pieces, just like how I treated Liao Lirong that day in Longmen Village. I really want to cut him into pieces, but I can't. I have more responsibilities than you to consider. There are more problems, and I want to take care of more people’s lives!”
"Is this what you call... a person who upholds righteousness?" Chen Yan said lightly. Although the words are still a bit cold, they are obviously less hostile.
"I'm not that noble. It's just that in my position, I have to seek a position. And if I don't do it well, I can easily lose my life." Qin Mubai said, "You look down on officials, but I also look down on them. Because being an official is not as good as being a dog. You can show off your power in front of others, but you can only cry bitterly when you are behind. You must have the same feeling, especially those who are known as invincible. Wei Feng, who knows how much they suffered?"
"Then why do you still want to be an official?"
"Then why do you still travel around the world? Then have you ever asked Zhu Chengwen this question, and how did he answer you?"
Chen Yan was speechless for a moment. She held her lips in her mouth and turned her head: "I don't read as much as you, so I can't compete with you."
"Stop talking, let's go!" Qin Mubai sighed and said, "You and I are from two different worlds. I can't guess what you are thinking, and you won't understand my thoughts. I only hope that you Take care of yourself in the future, and think more about others before doing anything. It is extremely satisfying to draw a sword and splash blood five steps after you are happy with your grudge, but have you really never regretted it? "
Chen Yan stopped talking and walked out the door silently.
Qin Mubai still had his back to her, and his heart was beating for a while: No, is this woman really so unfeeling and unfaithful, and does she really want to turn around and leave
Chen Yan stopped.
"Let me go, how will you explain to Li Ke?"
"That's my business, don't worry about it."
Chen Yan walked a few more steps and stopped again: "Stop playing this hard-to-get trick. Will I be captured by countless ambushed elite soldiers as soon as I walk out?"
"You all should evacuate. No one is allowed to stop Miss Chen from leaving! Anyone who disobeys the order will be dealt with according to military law!" Qin Mubai shouted.
"Promise-" A chorus of promises came from outside, and more than a dozen shadows flashed away like ghosts in the dark night.
Chen Yan silently lowered her eyelids and pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened her eyes: "Qin Mubai, should I really believe you?"
Qin Mubai turned around and said with a solemn and calm expression: "Actually, you can also give it a try."
