Save the tragic villain in progress!

Chu Xinian was just in his early twenties, and his youthful temperament has never been determined. It is also common for him to cheat and refuse to admit his debts. Mei is not surprised when he sees this.

Chu Xinian said solemnly: "Mother must have heard wrong."

Mrs. Mei thought she heard wrong?What did you hear wrong?She was so angry that her hands were shaking, it was clear that it was Chu Xinian who made a scene, crying and shouting that she didn't want to marry a disfigured ugly monster, and she was not deaf!

The middle door of the Buddhist hall was open, and although the servants outside did not dare to watch the excitement blatantly, their ears were all pricked up.

"It's just a skin, even if you are in the prime of your life, you will be overwhelmed by the country, and you will have gray hair and dry bones when you grow old. If everyone in the world proposes to marry because of their looks, in the end they will only be happy overnight,"

Chu Xinian said and looked at Mrs. Mei: "I heard that when my mother was not out of the cabinet in the past, she was one of the most beautiful women in Beijing. There were countless children from famous families who asked to marry her. Now that she is no longer young, my father still loves him as much as before, let alone accepting her. A concubine raises a child, and the child thinks this is the way of husband and wife."

Mei Shi was stunned by what he said, speechless.

As Chu Xinian said, when she was young, the Mei family was stunningly beautiful and came from a scholarly family. Ten thousand people in Beijing wanted to marry her.Who would have thought that she would pick and choose, and marry Qu Yanghou, who was still a dude at the time, and the world would only feel that the pearl was dusted.

However, for so many years, although Qu Yanghou had made no achievements in the imperial court, he loved Mei's wife very much.

It's a pity that people in the world are ignorant and bewitched by gold and jade, so they can't see through the filth and filth inside.

Mrs. Mei couldn't quite believe that these words came from her ignorant son, and her eyes were a little surprised.Even Chu Jiaoping on the side looked surprised, and frowned: "Second brother, you have to think about it, the royal family is no different from ordinary people's families, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be a serious crime to lose your head."

Because he is the protagonist in his own writing, Chu Xinian couldn't help but look at him twice: "Don't worry, big brother. Although I am stubborn, I know how to measure it. After I get married, I must take care of myself and stop messing around."

Chu Jiao looked straight at him, and said in a low voice, "Do you know that Xie Jingyuan is cruel by nature?"

"I know," Chu Xinian didn't seem to care, he met Chu Jiaoping's eyes with a frank expression, "But no matter how cruel a person is, he should know good and bad, people's hearts are not made of stone, I will treat him with sincerity in the future, Trust me he won't hurt me."

After all, he is a pen holder, and he can speak eloquently, and with a few words, he dispelled Mei's wavering thoughts just now.

Chu Jiaoping wanted to say more, but Mei raised his hand to stop him: "That's all."

Mei looked at Chu Xinian with complicated eyes, and felt that this incompetent young son had finally grown a lot after being beaten up: "I didn't agree with your elder brother's idea at first, it's really inappropriate to spread it, since you said so , take a good rest today... Tomorrow I will personally send you back."

Chu Xinian is the second son, and if the title of Quyanghou's Mansion does not fall to him, he naturally has no qualifications to divide the mansion.Although she is married to Xie Jingyuan, she doesn't even have a decent mansion, and she has to live in the other's general's mansion, which looks like an upside-down door.

I can't blame the Quyang Houfu for being so dissatisfied with this marriage.

Chu Xinian froze for a moment: "So fast?"

Mrs. Mei didn't say anything, she walked towards the door, and left the small Buddhist hall with her maid.

Seeing his mother go away, Chu Jiaoping slowly looked away.He sighed, and said to Chu Xinian with deep meaning: "In a few days, Sheng Jia will return to Beijing."

There is a lot of light rain in early spring, and it is inevitable to be cold at night.In the evening, there was a patter of rain, which stopped after a while.The stagnant water drips down the dark blue tiles and falls on the bluestone slabs of the corridor, the sound is particularly clear.

Xie Jingyuan held the military power in his hand, but he also made great achievements. No one knew whether the emperor's attitude towards him was close or close.If it is said that he loves him, the emperor chose to give him to that dude Chu Xinian to be his husband's wife. If he said he did not love him, then the Chu family still bears the title of a relative of the emperor, which is a bit dignified.

A thousand people have a thousand opinions, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and no one knows the truth of the matter.

The general's mansion was heavily guarded, and outside the door stood Xuanjia guards with swords on duty. All of them had cold eyes, and they were radiating cold air from inside to outside.Although Jiuyong is Xie Jingyuan's confidant, he has to remove his sword outside to enter the cabinet.

"Master, the spies sent news today."

There is a strong smell of medicine in the air, bitter and pungent, lingering, which is the result of perennial use of medicinal materials.But Jiuyong took it for granted, without changing his face, he took out a roll of secret letters from his sleeve, and handed it to the man sitting behind the desk with both hands.

A candle was placed on the corner of the carved red sandalwood table, and it shook slightly for a moment, illuminating the man's face clearly.The eyebrows flew into the temples, the tails of the eyes were slender, and the pupils were bright and dark. It looked a bit like a fox, but more like a black snake cruising in a cold pool.

A beautiful half face.

However, when the man raised his head slightly from the shadows, the dim candlelight illuminated the other half of his face clearly.I saw a few hideous scars shining brightly on the right side of the face, as if someone had slashed several times with a sword, it was shocking to watch.

The white wall is covered with dust, and the beautiful jade is flawed, but that's all.

Xie Jingyuan didn't take it apart: "From the Quyang Houfu?"

Jiu Yong lowered his head: "Yes."

Xie Jingyuan was indeed as rumored, he was seriously ill and looked terminally ill.He covered his lips with a white handkerchief, suppressed the piercing low cough in his chest, then took a breath, and asked, "Why, their family wants to divorce?"

Jiu Yong didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Xie Jingyuan raised his eyes, and finally opened the secret letter, only to find that it described what happened after Chu Xinian was brought back to Quyang Hou's Mansion by his servants. Everything was detailed, and even the words spoken in the Buddhist hall were written verbatim up.

"He treats me with sincerity...?"

When Xie Jingyuan saw this line of words, he paused slightly imperceptibly. He shook the paper in front of the candle, not knowing what it meant.Finally, he threw the white handkerchief in his hand aside. There was a mass of thick bloodstains on it, faintly black.

Jiuyong raised his head, stared at Xie Jingyuan's strangely blue lips and said, "I heard that Mrs. Qu Yanghou will bring Chu Xinian to visit tomorrow, presumably to make amends..."

It's an apology, not a divorce.

That's right, the mere Marquis's mansion naturally dare not withdraw the marriage bestowed by the emperor himself.

Naturally, Xie Jingyuan couldn't either.

What is the difference between a general who is seriously ill and can no longer lead troops to fight?How can the status compare to the glory of the past?

Xie Jingyuan coughed again.He pressed his fist to his lips, suppressed the fishy sweetness welling up in his throat, stared at the paper without looking at Jiu Yong, and said hoarsely, "If they want to come, let them come."

Quyanghou's Mansion is just the most inconspicuous of the many declining nobles. It is only because of Chu Xinian, a bastard son, that there are many "talking materials" that are widely circulated in Beijing.

However, Xie Jingyuan's situation is not much better now, it can be said that he is walking on thin ice.

Since the death of the previous empress, the prince's situation has been not good. Some time ago, he offended His Majesty, and he was even confined in the mansion, and has not left yet.There are even rumors that the emperor intends to abolish the prince.

Xie Jingyuan is the prince's right-hand man, and many people want to get rid of him. This marriage is just a game of chess played by the women in the palace. Not only can a chess piece be inserted, but it is also a kind of humiliation.

Chu Xinian's newly married fled, this move has already made Xie Jingyuan a laughingstock in Beijing.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive, Jiuyong said: "The eldest son of the Chu family has already joined the Jin family. Although Chu Xinian is frivolous, there is no guarantee that he is a spy sent by there. Master, do you want to get rid of him?"

Xie Jingyuan smiled suddenly: "Get rid of it?"

He clenched the thin paper in his hand tightly, making a loud crash, but slowly fell into the chair, as expected, he was moody as rumored, and laughed softly: "I heard that Chu Jiaoping is extremely intelligent, which is rare in Beijing." My Junjie, why is his younger brother not very smart?"

Everyone in the world knows that he killed countless people, regardless of the reason, gods and ghosts avoid him.Chu Jiaoping had already told Chu Xinian that he was cruel, but the other party thought that he would not hurt him?

Treat it sincerely?

Xie Jingyuan suddenly suppressed his smile.He slowly closed his eyes, and stroked the hideous scar on his right face expressionlessly, as if remembering something old.

He never believed in that kind of thing...

Jiu Yong couldn't figure out what his master was thinking, so he could only stare at the lamp at the corner of the table.I don't know how long I stood there, until a candle burned halfway, Xie Jingyuan finally opened his eyes: "Keep it..."

He slowly said three words: "Don't kill."

If he was killed, wouldn't it just be a case for King Jin.The prince is not favored now, Xie Jingyuan can only dormant and forbear.

Even if the emperor wants to marry him to a dude as his wife,

Even if he, a general fighting on the battlefield, is forced to lie between the beds,

Xie Jingyuan could only endure it.

This is royal power.

And the only thing Xie Jingyuan wanted to do was to pull that person off the throne.As long as this big Yan can change the dynasty, he can bear anything and do anything...

Chu Xinian didn't know that he had narrowly escaped death. At night, he was alone in front of the table, quickly recording something, and there was already a thick stack of papers in his hand.

"Qianqiu Fenghou" is a work he started to prepare five years ago. He has written more than 300 million words one after another. Although the main plot has not been forgotten, many details have been revised too many times, so I can't remember clearly. , It is a bit difficult to recall.

A ball of light squatted quietly at the corner of the table. Although he didn't speak, he had a high sense of presence.

The system asked: [Are you recalling the original plot?The plot direction of this world has been revised long ago, and it is useless if you think about it. 】

Chu Xinian: "How will you know if you don't try?"

His book has a total of 300 million words. Assuming that he reads [-] words a day, it will take at least a month.And his manuscript was only put in a friend's house for a few days before he got it back, and the other party must have had no time to change it much.

In other words, although the previous plot has collapsed, it may be stable later.

Willow shoots on the moon, the night is getting darker.Chu Xinian packed up the pens and papers and was about to go to bed, but suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps outside, followed by the voice of the skylark: "My lord, why are you here?"

Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words: Chu Jiaoping?What did he come to find himself in the middle of the night?

Apart from his wife Mei, the entire Hou Mansion has no female relatives, so naturally there is nothing to avoid.Chu Jiaoping directly opened the curtain and came in, only to see his ignorant younger brother sitting behind the desk, he couldn't help but pause.

"Second brother?" Chu Jiaoping stared at him with doubts.

Chu Xinian put down the brush in his hand, and got up from the chair in a calm manner: "Brother, why are you here?"

Chu Jiaoping didn't speak. He felt that Chu Xinian was very abnormal today. He was usually the most annoyed by writing and writing, so why was he still staying in the study late at night.He glanced at the table without any trace of sight, but saw a shining big buffalo drawn on the paper.

Chu Jiaoping: "..."

Sure enough, he was worrying too much.

Chu Jiaoping's late-night visit was definitely not for the purpose of having a candle-lit night chat with Chu Xinian and sharing brotherhood.He sat down at the table, the blue clothes hanging down quietly, he was a gentleman, but it was like this: "Second brother, you will leave the house tomorrow, and it is too late to regret it now."

Straight to the point, no nonsense.

Chu Xinian was noncommittal when he heard the words, and thought that even if he regretted it now, he would have no chance. There are eighteen strong men guarding outside his yard, all of whom were sent by the Mei family to watch over him.If he dared to take a step, his leg was immediately broken.

"What did the elder brother say?" Chu Xinian slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, his eyes were unfathomable in the candlelight, "Can you go back on His Majesty's will?"

Chu Jiaoping's character design in "A Thousand Years of Marquis" is a career-oriented male protagonist, who cares about his family and the common people. For these, he can even get involved with himself: "Second brother, big brother still says the same thing, if you don't Wish, I will replace you."

In troubled times, compared with the continuation and rise and fall of a family, human life is really worthless.

Chu Xinian was not surprised by Chu Jiaoping's attitude at all, but he must not be allowed to replace him.If he takes his place, Xie Jingyuan will surely die.

Chu Xinian: "Brother, you are the eldest son, and you will inherit the title of the family in the future. Leave this matter to me. The Quyang Hou Mansion cannot cut off the incense."

He "learned and applied" the words he heard from the maid today.

Chu Jiaoping probably didn't expect his ignorant younger brother to have such awareness, so he looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that Xie Jingyuan will kill you?"

I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell.Chu Xinian has already understood this sentence very thoroughly: "He won't."

Once he died, the biggest suspect was Xie Jingyuan.In this way, the king of Jin has a handle to question the crime, and the prince will also cause endless troubles, and the other party will not be so stupid.

Chu Jiaoping looked away, and there was guilt in his eyes that only he knew: "Second brother, you...don't hate mother..."

Chu Xinian: "She's not wrong, it's good that I can do something for the family, there is always someone to go."

Hearing the words, Chu Jiaoping lowered his head and pondered, as if he had fallen into some kind of difficult decision. He didn't know what decision to make at the end, and suddenly looked at him with burning eyes: "...In that case, would you like to help elder brother?"

Chu Xinian continued to pretend: "Of course I'm willing... um? Help for what?"

He noticed something was wrong, opened his eyes in an instant, and subconsciously looked at Chu Jiaoping, but he heard the other party say: "Although my Chu family is not doing well, it is also considered a noble family, and it will inevitably stir up the muddy waters of the court. The king of Jin is virtuous and benevolent. Being courageous and resourceful is indeed the choice of the Lord."

Chu Jiaoping implied that his family had already taken refuge in King Jin, and with so many princes vying for the throne, he was most optimistic about King Jin, who must be a wise king in the future.

Chu Xinian had an intuition that something was wrong, so he tentatively said without any trace: "Brother, what do you mean, the Chu family wants to take refuge with the King of Jin? But the crown prince is still in the position of prince, there is nothing wrong with it."

Chu Jiaoping frowned slightly, disapproving: "Although the crown prince was descended from the former empress, he occupies the position of the son-in-law. However, he acts harshly and is not a benevolent king. What's more, our family is related to the king of Jin, and we have already stood with the king of Jin." We are on the same boat, and the crown prince will not let us go when he ascends the throne in the future."

King Jin's mother, Concubine Mei, and Mrs. Quyanghou's wife, Mei, are sisters of the same clan. Considering that they have so many nepotism, in the eyes of outsiders, the Chu family has long been a firm member of the King of Jin's party.

Now King Jin and the prince are fighting openly and secretly, and the situation in the court has long been like fire and water. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne and counts old scores, it is likely that the Quyang Hou Mansion will be in bad luck.

In short, the Chu family has been tightly tied to the King of Jin. It is easy to get on this ship, but difficult to get off.For the current plan, there is only one way to go to the dark, and find a way to help King Jin ascend the throne.

Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words, and asked inexplicably, "Then how can I help elder brother?"

Chu Jiaoping slightly lowered his voice, and in the dark night he was a bit solemn: "Xie Jingyuan has a map of the army formation in his hand, and there is a list of all his trusted friends in the army at the back of the map. If you have the opportunity, Find a way to make a copy."

Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words: "Tuo?"

Brother, are you sure you didn't steal?

Chu Jiaoping seemed to see through his thoughts: "It's okay to steal."

Chu Xinian: "Oh..."

Brother Cheap is trying to save the country with curves, let him go to Xie Jingyuan's side as an undercover agent?
