Chapter 86

"Okay." She gently fixed his face, looked into his calm eyes, and after a long time, she made a promise softly.

He caressed the end of the woman's eyes with his hands, the gentleness of his fingertips was clearly visible, maybe he didn't even realize that when the emperor, who had always planned strategies, looked at her, under the gentleness in his eyes was the shadow of paranoia to the extreme mood.

He holds everything in his hands, thinking that he is omnipotent and that man can conquer the sky, but no matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person with flesh and blood.

So there will be other emotions besides indifference.

For example, he has also been afraid, panicked, and at a loss.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Seeing that he had been silent, Gu Ruzhen blinked and called him.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that if these two months pass faster, I can see you every day."

Gu Ruzhen slowly closed her eyes, pulled him to sit beside him, leaned against his shoulder, and hooked his fingers with her fingers one after another.

"In the beginning, how did you appear in the slave market?"

Several countries, when they were still countries, had slave markets, and Qingxuan was no exception.

Some have no money in their families and sell their children to be slaves. Actually, there are not many such cruel-hearted families. Selling as slaves and serving as slaves are two completely different endings.

One still has the possibility to live as a human being, but the other is a stray cat and dog on the side of the road who is hungry and full. Both of them live more comfortably than them.

Except for those sold by their parents on their own initiative, the rest are people without household registration.

People without household registration include those who were abducted, taken captive, or others, but it is not known which one he belongs to.

"Have you heard of Hu Jie?"

Hu Jie...

Gu Ruzhen frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head.

"Has someone in Qingxuan ever disappeared for no reason?"

"There is such a thing, but the government has not found out for a long time. Even those people disappeared, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. After that, it will be nothing."

Emperor Tianqin had fought in the north and south for many years, and he had seen countless killings, so he rarely expressed shock at bloody scenes.

That was the only time he felt sick during his many years of fighting, except for the initial discomfort.

"Of course I can't find it, because the corpse has already been eaten by the Hujie people." At that time, when he was resting not far from Qingxuan after attacking Kongyun and Youshan, he suddenly found that a guard had disappeared.

Some people thought that the man had escaped, but Emperor Tianqin knew best what his soldiers were like. If there were deserters among his subordinates, he would not have won many battles and victories in the past few years.

Until later, they found several human bones at the foot of a mountain, and around the human bones, there were many traces of struggle, as well as incomplete cloth hanging on the branches not far away.

After checking for a long time, they determined that it was the cloth on the clothes of the Tian Qin soldiers, and the human bones on the ground were the missing guard.

"Cui Shao wanted to lead the army to attack, or burn the mountain to force out the Hujie people inside, but..."

But the ideas that Cui Shao can think of, the Hujie people can naturally think of them, they are very smart, if they are not smart, they will not succeed frequently and no one knows their existence.

Whether it was attacking or setting fire to the mountain, they were unsuccessful, and even to some extent, they failed.

Because immediately after that, another guard disappeared, and the next day only bones were found not far from where they were stationed.

"Did you go?"

"Yes, at that time I ordered Cui Shao, Cui Ling and the other five generals to divide into eight groups, guard all the exits and entrances of that mountain, and march into it."

"and after?"

"I don't know why, a fog suddenly formed around, and when the fog cleared, I had already lost them, and there were those Hujie people in front of me."

"What did they do?" Gu Ruzhen asked nervously.

The man looked at her and chuckled lightly for a long time, "Isn't I all right now?"

"I don't remember exactly what they did, but I only remember that the leader of the Hujie people walked up to me and read something, and then his face changed drastically, as if he was unwilling, and wanted to kill me with a knife several times. "

Thinking of this until now, Emperor Tian Qin would feel strange, he was an early governor and had a good memory, there were very few things he did not remember.

"Although I failed to kill them all, they also failed to kill me. When I got to the back, I suddenly felt unconscious, and my steps were heavy, and I fell down the cliff."

"That cliff is exactly the one that Chu Lichen sent people to hunt down and I jumped off."

In fact, it shouldn't be the same one, at least in his impression, it shouldn't be the same one.

The mountain where the Hujie people hid was outside the Qingxuan land, while the mountain where Chu Lichen sent people to hunt him down was within the Qingxuan land.

He wasn't so sure at the time, he just saw many sword edges on a tree by the cliff and thought it was the one he saw when he woke up, so he took a gamble and jumped down.

"Under the cliff, there are a few horizontal trees that can support an adult man. There are caves beside the trees that can accommodate people. I stayed there for a few days."

"You don't remember?" Gu Ruzhen asked speculatively, because if he remembered, he should have gone to Tian Qin's soldiers first, and he would always have a way to contact Wei Shengsi and them.

Instead of being picked up by Qingxuan slave sellers and pushed to sell in the slave market.

The man nodded, "That's right, I didn't hit my head, and I didn't suffer any other serious injuries, but I just don't remember."

"I jumped off that cliff for the second time, and when I was waiting for the pursuers to leave, I took Cui Shao and the others to find me day by day, and then I suddenly remembered all the memories."

"After dealing with what happened during that period of time, I want to come to you." His voice paused for a while, his voice hoarse, "But that day was the day you married Chu Lichen."

At that time, he wanted to snatch the marriage, but he didn't have the guts. He was afraid that hatred would appear in her eyes.

"So, did you see the back?" Gu Ruzhen asked him, "Did you see the wedding day?"

"No, Zhenzhen..." He held her hand, lifted his thin lips with a hint of a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of everything."

"The breaking of the appointment at the city gate was the secret of Ah Yin's report. She made a deal with Chu Lichen. Chu Lichen accepted her as his concubine, and she told him where our agreement is." In fact, she agreed to leave because of her own will Impulsive, she will regret it when she recovers, because she can't let her willfulness harm her family.

So after being caught and tied up, she was relieved after she realized it.
