As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 398 Doubt

"no!"

Xie Changzhi flatly refused: "I have said before that no one can touch her until I reach cooperation with you."

Chu Nanxuan squinted his eyes and turned his head: "Oh?"

"Don't blame me for being suspicious and seriously ill." Xie Changzhi said expressionlessly: "What you said is really too much. I have never seen those armored soldiers, and I have never seen your inexhaustible money."

"If I believe you so easily, won't there be no way out in the future?"

"With Xie Zhaozhao in my hand, I can at least use her to control Xie Changqing."

A gloomy look flashed in Chu Nanxuan's eyes.

He has endured the humiliation over the years.

In the past two years, things that were supposed to be smooth sailing frequently went wrong, and he suffered a series of declines in Beijing.

To be suspected, to be suspected.

Yang died trying to cover his departure from Beijing, and the entire Chu family in Beijing was destroyed.

Years of hard planning were in vain.

This made all the complicated feelings he had towards Xie Zhaozhao disappear completely.

Moreover, because she heard that she and Yun Qi were married, and the outside world praised them as a match made in heaven, they had a very strong hatred.

Now this woman is right in front of him.

In his mind, he had already thought of many ways to humiliate and bully her.

But Xie Changzhi was so insistent that he would not be released.

"Don't worry." Xie Changzhi patted Chu Nanxuan's shoulder, "When I see it and am convinced of your strength, I will leave it to you to do whatever you want."

Chu Nanxuan's eyes flickered, and he said with a faint smile: "Brother Changzhi's insistence makes me suspect that you are not really cooperating with me."

Xie Changzhi was shocked, but his face remained expressionless.

He said indifferently: "You can also choose not to believe me, it's up to you."

Xie Zhaozhao once said that Chu Nanxuan would definitely make concessions.

Because after the Qizhou incident broke out, it was only a matter of time before the imperial court targeted Danzhou, and Chu Nanxuan and the others were not fully prepared.

If the soldiers and horses of Danzhou and Yaocheng cannot be united to defend immediately, let alone the imperial troops pressing down on the border, even the soldiers and horses of Yaocheng hundreds of miles away can defeat Danzhou.

Chu Nanxuan and the others couldn't bear it, so they wanted to neutralize the threat to Yao City from within.

They also had to turn Yaocheng into their own front.

Therefore, Xie Changzhi is very important.

Xie Changzhi was deeply trusted by Xie Changqing. Once he turned him against him, all the soldiers and horses of Yao City would be in his pocket.

Therefore, Xie Changzhi can be more aggressive and aggressive, and don't buy into his fault.

In the previous confrontation with Chu Nanxuan, Xie Changzhi used the method suggested by Xie Zhaozhao, and it achieved the expected results. This time, Xie Changzhi still felt that there would not be too many mistakes.

Sure enough, Chu Nanxuan took a deep look at Xie Changzhi and said, "Brother Changzhi is really cautious. Well, in that case, then set off tomorrow and come with me to Black Dragon Pond. After you have seen what you want to see, It won’t be too late to return the person to me.”

"it is good!"

After Xie Changzhi agreed, Chu Nanxuan sent someone to take him down to rest. Xie Zhaozhao was still dragged out, and then to the place where Xie Changzhi was settled.

The farmer who had led the way came in and said, "Master, this Xie Changzhi insists on seeing the soldiers, and he is not allowed to get close to Xie Zhaozhao. This makes people a little uneasy."

"He is not afraid even if he is pretending to surrender." Chu Nanxuan said calmly: "Ordinary people cannot go to Black Dragon Pond."

The Black Dragon Pond can only be reached with a special guide.

If Xie Changzhi pretended to surrender and insisted on going to the Black Dragon Pond, then if Xie Changqing led others to follow him, he would lose his way as soon as he reached the outside of the Black Dragon Pond.

As far as Chu Nanxuan is concerned, it will not cause any loss. If he is sure that Xie Changzhi cannot be used, he will kill him directly and then use Xie Zhaozhao as a bait to find another way to deal with Xie Changqing.But if this is the case, it is naturally not as fast as letting Xie Changzhi take action directly against Xie Changqing.

It takes more time and is harder.

If you are not careful, you will suffer heavy losses.

This was the key reason for Chu Nanxuan's concession.

Chu Nanxuan raised his chin slightly, "Don't worry, just use a day or two to verify whether a person can be used. If it doesn't work, just kill him. Not much effort will be wasted."

The farmer said no more.

Chu Nanxuan asked again: "Is sir back?"

"No..." The farmer shook his head and said: "There has been no news. Maybe he went to study some strange things again. It's not like this before."

Chu Nanxuan frowned, "Send someone to guard Mr.'s thatched cottage at all times, and send a message as soon as he comes back."

"Yes!"

……

Xie Changzhi and Xie Zhaozhao were settled in Cuiyuan.

There is a lot of greenery here, and there is not a single pot of camellias.

Xie Zhaozhao walked along the road and observed carefully. It seemed that the courtyard where Chu Nanxuan was after the entire courtyard was filled with camellias.

Then Yang... is most likely dead?
At this moment, Xie Changzhi raised his hand to signal that the soldiers got up to get water for Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head very slightly to stop.

Xie Changzhi was silent for a moment and gestured to the soldiers.

The soldier sensiblely made the tea and delivered it to Xie Changzhi.

All day and night, Xie Zhaozhao was tied up in the yard.

Xie Changzhi rested in the house, thinking about the cold wind outside, and worried about Xie Zhaozhao, but he didn't sleep well.

Xie Zhaozhao closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk to rest his mind.

After entering Danzhou, she was no longer the same as before when she was on the road with Xie Changzhi. She had not eaten any water or rice that day and night, and she had discarded the beef jerky and other items in her sleeve pocket early.

By daybreak the next day, my lips were dry and cracked, and I looked even more haggard and sickly.

Chu Nanxuan sent someone to inform Xie Changzhi to prepare for departure.

Because Xie Zhaozhao had warned him before, Xie Changzhi was very careful about the breakfast and dinner delivered, the furnishings in the house, etc., for fear of falling into the trap.

After breakfast, Xie Changzhi followed the people sent by Chu Nanxuan to the door of the house.

Chu Nanxuan was already sitting on his horse and had prepared two more horses: "We must first pass through Anqing Mountain and go to the Black Dragon Pond from the water vein behind the mountain."

"understood."

Xie Changzhi got on his horse and said, "I have to take Xie Zhaozhao with me. How will she get there?"

Chu Nanxuan smiled and said: "Brother Changzhi, you and this Xie Zhaozhao are really inseparable. Those who know it think you are enemies, and you might have an accident if you leave her here. Those who don't know it think you have some ambiguous relationship."

Xie Changzhi sneered: "If I let her here, wouldn't your people kill her at will? How will I deal with Xie Changqing then? Stop talking nonsense, how can she get there?"

Chu Nanxuan ordered someone to bring in another horse.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xie Zhaozhao to sit on the horse, but he directly picked up the person and threw him on it.

His abdomen was stuck on the hard saddle. Xie Zhaozhao had not eaten or drank for a whole day and night. This time it was really painful and he coughed several times.

Chu Nanxuan looked away indifferently, "Let's go."

The horse carrying Xie Zhaozhao was tied to Xie Changzhi's saddle ring with a stiff sound, and the group headed out of the city.
