Save the tragic villain in progress!

Chapter 38



Chu Xinian felt that his work didn't need to be called "The Marquis of Thousand Years", and it might be more appropriate to change the name to "Infernal Affairs for Thousand Years".

Chu Jiaoping didn't want to say more, so as not to leak the secrets, but he was afraid that Chu Xinian would not know the seriousness of the matter, so he explained: "The king of Jin has received the holy order, and he will go to Shuofang to wipe out the rebels next month, it is imminent , but most of the army is Xie Jingyuan's former troops, if they attack secretly, it is really unavoidable, if we can get the roster, we should take precautions early."

The purpose of counselors is to make suggestions and protect the Lord's safety.If the lord is dead, um...you know everything, then you must not be a qualified counselor.

Chu Xinian raised his eyebrows slightly to express his understanding.He smiled, and decided to fool Brother Cheap first: "Don't worry, brother, I will find a way to steal the list."

If he refuses, Chu Jiaoping will not persecute him, but he will definitely find another plan.Instead of being blind, it's better to put it under your own nose, so as to inquire about the situation on King Jin's side.

This is how the court's strategy is like this, each of them makes their own moves, and whoever wins counts, there is no such thing as despicable and shameless.Xie Jingyuan's mansion was guarded like an iron bucket, watertight. If there was no other way, Chu Jiaoping didn't want to take the risk of pinning his hopes on his younger brother.

Before leaving, Chu Jiaoping thought of something, stopped and looked back at Chu Xinian: "Second brother..."

Chu Xinian raised his head subconsciously: "Brother, what else do you need to steal?"

"..."

Chu Jiaoping shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, I want to say that you should pay attention to your own safety. It's good if you can get the roster, but it's okay if you don't get it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around with a solemn expression, opened the door and left, with heavy steps.It seems that what Chu Xinian went to was not the bridal chamber, but the Longtan and Tiger's Cave.

Chu Xinian himself didn't care much, and lay down on the bed to sleep.It's a pity that with so many things happening in one day, he obviously couldn't sleep, and he tossed and turned for several hours without closing his eyes. In the middle of the night, he heard some noises in a daze, and felt that someone was sitting beside his bed.

Chu Xinian closed his eyes and remained motionless, but he became vigilant in his heart, worried that someone would harm him.

However, the man just sat by the bed and looked at Chu Xinian quietly, then stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for him, touched the wound on his head, let out a low, inaudible sigh, and finally left the room quietly.

Chu Xinian quietly opened his eyes, the night was hazy, and he felt that the man's back looked a bit like Mrs. Mei.

In the early morning of the next day, the car was ready outside Quyang Hou's mansion.Mei's eldest maid was ordered to come outside the courtyard gate to see if Chu Xinian was awake, but she saw that he was fully dressed and looked ready to leave at any time.

The servant girl was a little surprised, she bowed her knees and said: "Second Young Master, the car is ready, please come with your servant."

Chu Xinian held a decorative folding fan in his hand. Although he didn't need it in cold weather, he wanted to study the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists on it.Hearing this, he looked around, but did not see Mrs. Mei: "Where's mother?"

The servant girl said: "Go back to Second Young Master, Madam is dressing up and will be there later."

The guards guarding outside the courtyard were probably afraid that Chu Xinian would run away again, and seven or eight of them followed him with sabers in their hands to guard against him.God knows how Chu Xinian, a son whose body was hollowed out by wine, escaped from the wedding last time. Let him run away again, and the faces of these guards will not be needed.

The servants made a bet in private yesterday, guessing what kind of posture their second son would be "sent" out of the house this morning, whether they were crying father and mother, or cursing the world?

But it's a pity, Chu Xinian just took a look at them, then looked away, and walked towards the door of the mansion.Dressed in white and calm, the servants almost mistook him for the eldest son Chu Jiaoping in a daze.

Qu Yanghou had just come back from a bird walk early in the morning, and he was still holding a birdcage. Seeing that Chu Xinian was about to get into the carriage, he quickly chased after him: "Xi'er!"

"Huh?" Chu Xinian turned his head when he heard the sound, but saw that it was the cheap father, and retracted his legs that were about to get into the car, "Father, why are you here?"

Qu Yanghou stuffed the birdcage into the servant's hand, walked up to Chu Xinian, and asked in a low voice like a thief, "Xi'er, are you still running?"

Chu Xinian raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

Qu Yanghou fumbled in his sleeve, took out a stack of crumpled bank notes, and quietly stuffed them into Chu Xinian's hands: "Son, if you want to run, run, these bank notes are for use, and I will drag them over to your mother's side." on."

Chu Xinian glanced behind him, thinking that he is an exemplary father: "Father, where did you get these banknotes?"

Chu Xinian likes to gamble, and his father didn't push him too much. In order to prevent the two of them from ruining the house, the financial power has always been in the hands of his wife, Mrs. Mei.The origin of so many banknotes is very suspicious.

Qu Yanghou: "Of course I saved it."

Chu Xinian: "Mother isn't angry?"

Qu Yanghou snorted: "This entire Marquis Mansion is mine, who is your mother, when did she talk... Ouch!! It hurts, it hurts! Madam, let go!"

Before Quyanghou's prestige was shaken, Mrs. Mei appeared behind him at some point, twisted Quyanghou's ear with one hand, sneered and turned half a circle: "I thought where Lord Hou went, so it's here , but you are not in good health, you should go back to the house and take a good rest!"

As soon as the words fell, a servant immediately "helped" Qu Yanghou in forcibly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out after two or three days of confinement.

Seeing this, Chu Xinian hid the banknote in his sleeve and called "Mother".

Mei Shi glanced at him, didn't say anything, just said: "Get in the car, don't miss the hour."

Chu Xinian knew that he was going to the General's Mansion: "Isn't Father going?"

Mei said: "Your father has such a temper, he is afraid of bad things if he goes there, he claims to be sick, Lord Xie Hou should not say anything."

Quyanghou's mansion is indeed in decline, and now the mansion is full, and can only be supported by a woman.No matter what to do, if the dynasties change in the future and the title will decrease, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the end of three generations of decline.

Hearing the crackling sound of whips in the air, the two-driver carriage began to drive unhurriedly. The wheels rolled over the bluestone slab heavily. Because of the accumulated rain last night, some water splashed, and the ground was covered with messy water marks.

Chu Xinian was in a daze as he was about to meet his own villain soon.

He actually spent a lot of pen and ink on the role of Xie Jingyuan at the beginning, and his level of care is not inferior to that of the protagonist Chu Jiaoping.In a sense, it occupies no less space than the protagonist.

Just put your heart into it, and it is true that it is difficult to save.As long as such a person lives, he will definitely end up with King Jin forever.

unless……

Unless the prince ascends the throne...

Seeing that Chu Xinian was quiet, Mrs. Mei thought that he was afraid. After all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body. She felt pain in her heart, and she hated iron and steel: "Wei Nuo Nuo is like a quail, what are you afraid of? The marriage was bestowed by His Majesty, can Xie Jingyuan still kill you?!"

Chu Xinian thought it's hard to say, after all, the plot has collapsed, but he said: "What mother said is true."

While speaking, he had already arrived at the general's mansion.When Chu Xinian got out of the carriage, he felt that a corner of the sky was gloomy, and the mansion in front of him was so impartial that it happened to be located in a place where the sun couldn't even shine.

Four guards with sabers stood at the gate of Zhuhong, dressed in black armor, with a icy aura.When they saw someone coming from Quyanghou's mansion, they turned around and went in to report. After a while, an old butler with a kind face came out.

"I have seen Mrs. Chu, I have seen Mr. Chu, the general has been waiting in the main hall for a long time, please come with the two servants."

He only listened to the voice, and was out of place in this cold general's mansion. The other party had a natural smile and wrinkles all over his face.

Mrs. Mei pressed Chu Xinian's hand, motioning him to keep quiet, followed the housekeeper in, and greeted with a smile: "Thank you, I'm a rebel, I just found it yesterday, I was afraid that the general would be worried, so I brought him here It's..."

Then she paused: "After all, I'm married and should live together."

Chu Xinian was silent from the beginning to the end, the old butler smiled, bowed and said: "Mr. Chu is a lucky man, and he is blessed by Buddha. Yesterday the general sent soldiers and horses to look for him. Fortunately, he was found. It also saves the general from worrying."

The housekeeper is also a wonderful person, knowing that what Mei said was an excuse, he just continued to follow along.

They passed through four or five arches, passed through a garden, and passed through a verandah. When their legs were about to go numb, they finally arrived at the main hall.

Mrs. Mei straightened her clothes and was about to go in when she saw a man covered in blood suddenly being carried out from the main hall. His eyes were wide open and his eyeballs protruded, obviously he had been dead for a long time.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper turned sideways skillfully to avoid it, and then continued to lead the way in front as if nothing had happened.However, Mei's face turned pale with fright, her legs gave way and almost fell to the ground, Chu Xinian quickly supported her with his eyesight, and said in a concerned voice, "Mother?"

He felt something strange, frowned slightly, and glanced at the corpse without any trace.

Generally, about one to three hours after a person dies, rigor mortis begins to appear; after about twelve hours, rigor rigor spreads all over the body.

And the whole body of the corpse was stiff and stiff, and the death time was at least more than one night.

Black lips, bruised nails, bleeding from the seven orifices, died of poisoning?

There are cyan tattoos on the side of his face. He is a desperado who has been in prison. He is dressed in black night clothes. No matter how you look at it, he is definitely not a kind person.Could it be the unlucky guy who came to assassinate in the middle of the night last night and died under Xie Jingyuan's hands?

Chu Xinian had studied medicine for a few years before, and in order to collect writing materials, he also stayed in a funeral parlor for a while. Corpses were not uncommon, so he wouldn't be frightened.

He opened the folding fan with a swish, stood in front of Mei Shi, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Mother, it's just a dead person, probably a servant who did something wrong, it's fine."

When others saw this scene, they would only feel that Xie Jingyuan had killed innocent people indiscriminately, and Chu Xinian had lightly exposed him as a servant who had done something wrong.

The old housekeeper who was leading the way stopped when he heard this, and looked back at him.

Chu Xinian's reputation outside the world is in ruins, and he gives people the impression that he is just a licentious person.He fled so fast that day when he got married that he didn't even see her face, but when he saw it today, it was not quite the same as the rumors.

When the Mei family was not married in the past, she was a stunning and gorgeous figure in the capital.Chu Xinian inherited her good looks, light and handsome, looking forward to brilliance, and dressed in a white shirt, he has an extraordinary demeanor.He didn't panic when he saw the corpse just now, and it inevitably made people add a steady and self-restraining evaluation.

It doesn't look like someone who would run away from marriage.

The old housekeeper smiled without changing the curvature of his mouth: "Mrs. Chu, I'm sorry, but the strict rules in the house frightened you."

Upon hearing this, Mei tightly clenched Chu Xinian's hand, her lips trembled so that she couldn't speak, she wished she could run away from the door.Xie Jingyuan killed someone as soon as they entered the door. Can her stupid son survive if she stays here!

No matter how much Mei family thinks about the family, she can't just watch her own son jump into the fire pit.She is regretful now, she shouldn't have agreed to this marriage under the persuasion of Concubine Mei Gui, and she has already made up her mind to go to the palace to find her a solution.

Chu Xinian didn't know what Mei was thinking.He supported Mrs. Mei, walked in with the butler, and when he saw the man on the high seat in the main hall, he couldn't help being stunned for a while.

It is early morning now, the cold dew has not faded, and the coldness hits the bone.Xie Jingyuan was seriously ill and couldn't bear the wind. Wearing a black wind cloak, his eyes became more and more like lacquer and his face was like a crown of jade.

Half of his silver mask was on the right side of his face, covering the too hideous scar.The remaining half of the face is unblemished, in stark contrast.Xie Jingyuan put a white handkerchief to his lips, suppressing the cough from his lungs.The bony hands are so thin that even the stretched blue tendons can be clearly seen.

He is like a sharp poisonous needle, dangerous and weak, contradictory and self-consistent.

The body wrapped in the wind cloak is still strong and strong, and he can vaguely see some shadows of leading troops to fight in the past.

Xie Jingyuan is the most evil character in Chu Xinian's works, even the author can't imagine what he looks like, but now he came out of the book so alive, but it only makes people feel that it is perfect.

Chu Xinian was a little fascinated: Is this the villain I wrote?

Although the plot has been changed in a bad way, fortunately, the characters have not changed.

The system reminded him: [Host, the target villain appears. 】
