Marriage Under the Heavens

He strode to the assassin and said coldly: "What are you telling the truth?"

"No—dare—there's half a lie!" The assassin said shiveringly, after all he couldn't help being tortured, and begged, "Please—give me joy!"

Qin Jiu lazily smiled, "How can I do it? My best method is useless!"

The assassins were already tortured and couldn't stand it anymore. They were all trained to do their job. If the mission fails, they will commit suicide. He didn't expect Qin Jiu's martial arts to be so powerful that he could not even commit suicide when he was caught. He had never thought that this person's methods were harsh and the torture was unbearable for him. By this time, he said that there were even more powerful methods of no use. Suddenly he was frightened and prayed with a hoarse voice: "I have recruited. I have recruited everything I know, so please have a good time!"

"In your job, how many people did you kill, remember? This is your retribution. Even if you get to the Yan Luo Temple, it won't give you joy." Qin Jiu said coldly.

In the end, Yuan Ba ​​couldn't stand it anymore. He strode forward and pointed at the assassin's dead spot, which ended up killing him.

Qin Jiu smiled slightly, "Master Yuan, since it was sent by someone in the palace, it looks like someone in the palace has taken the seat of your commander."

Yuan Ba's heart sank. If it was in the past, he would naturally not take this to heart, but now, because of a rift with Emperor Qing, he can't help but feel uneasy. Some suspect that these assassins were sent by Emperor Qing.

Thinking of the low laughter in the room, Qin Jiu looked at Yuan Ba’s uncertain face and said slowly: "Master, these assassins will not be sent by the sage. If he wants to kill you, why bother so much? The imperial decree can make your family ruined."

These words shocked Yuan Ba's heart, and he didn't expect Qin Jiu to see what he was thinking. He narrowed his expression and looked up calmly, staring sharply at Qin Jiu, as if to see through the black scarf covering her face.

"I'm really sorry for making you bump into something like this. Your Excellency visited late at night, I think there must be something wrong? Why don't you tell me." Yuan Ba ​​deserves to be the leader of Xiaoqi for many years. Although he was surprised in his heart, he quickly recovered his calm, frowned and asked coldly. Tao.

"Does President Yuan suspect that we instructed these people to come to the assassination, and then appeared on purpose and saved him?" Loquat asked indifferently. After all, they also covered their face towels and came to visit late at night.

Yuan Ba ​​sat on the chair and said solemnly: "The acting is still a real assassination, I can still tell it." If it is a false assassination, how can he escape Yuan Ba's eyes. These assassins were so numerous in number and they used fierce moves, obviously they were killing him.

Qin Jiu laughed loudly, "Tong leader Yuan has great eyesight and admiration. To be honest, our visit tonight is indeed something important."

"I will repay the two of you for helping each other today. But no matter what you want to talk to me tonight, I will never agree. A person who dare not show his true face will not be trusted. Please!" Yuan Ba ​​got up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Loquat sneered coldly, "Master, I just said, with Yuan commander's stubborn temperament, I'm afraid he won't cooperate with us. It seems that we are here for nothing."

Qin Jiu smiled softly, "Commander Yuan Da has misunderstood. We came tonight and planned to have a frank talk with the commander. The reason we covered was because we were afraid that some young people would see our true face." She said. , Stretched out the white jade finger, slowly tore off the covered black scarf.

The smoky candlelight passed through the lampshade, lightly diffused, and enveloped Qin Jiu's face.

A bright smile bloomed in the dim light.

"It's you? Qin Jiuye of Tianchen Sect?" Yuan Ba ​​raised his eyebrows in disbelief. He had never expected that this person would be Qin Jiu, the Jiajia Sect Master of Tianchen Sect.

Qin Jiu's understanding of Yuan Ba ​​is not only based on her years of observation, but also on the evaluation of her aunt, the White Queen.

Yuan Ba ​​is a man with strong martial arts and broad-mindedness, and he is open and upright in his work. However, such a person is generally extremely difficult to surrender.

"Yes, it's me! I know that Dao Yuan always doesn't like to talk to Tianchen Sect, because you think Tianchen Sect has a rebellious mind. Yes, the leader guessed well, but let's be honest with Master Yuan, I Although he is a member of the Tianchen Sect, he has not done anything for the Tianchen Sect." Qin Jiu's voice is low and dumb, but it contains a power that cannot be ignored.

Yuan Ba's expression condensed, but he said sarcastically: "So, Jiu Ye is not a member of the Tianchen Sect, but a member of the court?"

Qin Jiu smiled coldly, "Do you still remember the White Queen?"

Yuan Ba ​​suddenly raised his head, looking at Qin Jiu, the color of astonishment in his black eyes was so obvious. The White Queen is an offender, and ordinary people would never mention it easily. Is this person related to the White Queen? Thinking of this, he said sharply: "I naturally remember the White Queen, but she has been dead for more than three years. Why did Jiu Ye mention her?"

Qin Jiu did not answer, but reached out his hand, took out a white chess piece from his body and placed it on the table in a low voice, "Master, do you still remember this chess piece?"

Yuan Ba's gaze fell on the white chess piece, his fingers trembling slightly. He slowly pinched the chess piece, and stretched out his fingers to gently stroke the surface of the chess piece. There was a storm in his heart, but his face remained calm. , Slowly asked: "It's just a chess piece, you can see it everywhere, what's weird?"

Qin Jiu smiled sweetly, took the chess piece from Yuan Ba's hand, lifted it up, and shone at the light, only to see that there was a vaguely curved crack on the chess piece.

"Master, don’t you remember? You used to play chess with the White Queen in the Imperial Study Room. At that time, the black piece of the White Queen pushed your white piece into a desperate situation. When you pinched the piece and thought, you used too much force for a while, then pinched the piece. There must be a crack. Nuo, this is the one. At that time, the White Queen won you a game, saying that you want you to promise her one thing in the future. If necessary, she will send someone to bring this chess piece to the commander. , Don't you really remember?" Yuan Ba ​​naturally remembered.

The reason why he pretended to be stupid was to test Qin Jiu, and now that Qin Jiu explained the inside story, his original doubts were resolved.

This crack was indeed pinched by him back then.

On that day, he had the honor to play chess with the White Queen. Although his chess skills are not high, there are really rare people who can force him to almost squeeze a chess piece in half. I have to say that the White Queen is a strange woman, and her chess skills are very real. In the days when Emperor Qing became seriously ill, the White Queen went to court to listen to politics, and his courage and method of acting made him extremely admired. Therefore, he was dubious about the White Queen's rebellion. However, the evidence was solid, and he had to believe it.

"Who are you from the White Queen?" Yuan Ba ​​asked word by word.

Ordinary people would naturally not own this chess piece. Even if they did, they would never have thought that this chess piece of the White Queen would have something to do with him.

Qin Jiu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, but I am a trivial person. I followed the White Queen back then."

"That said, you are a member of the Suyi Bureau who assisted the White Queen. You deliberately hid in the Tianchen Sect for other purposes. But the White Queen is an offender, and you should also be implicated. Tonight, you come to me. , Are you afraid that I will catch you?" Yuan Ba ​​said slowly.

"You won't!" Qin Jiu squinted and smiled.

If it was Yuan Ba ​​a few days ago, perhaps there is a little chance of doing so. But now he definitely won't.

"Because the White Queen was wronged!" Qin Jiu looked at Yuan overbearing directly, "This, the case back then, presumably the general leader also had doubts in his heart." Yuan Ba's heart moved slightly.

Back then, he was half-believing, but now, after experiencing Mipuguo, he somewhat believed it.

"So, what do you want me to do when you come to me?"

"Grand Commander, I don't want the Grand Commander to do anything against his heart. If I remember well, the Emperor Xian was kind to you, and you vowed to protect the Emperor Xian, but the Emperor died young, you don't want to check that year. Is the truth about the death of the first emperor? Do you really believe that King Yan killed the first emperor?" Qin Jiu asked word by word, although his face was smiling, it gave people an aggressive aura. Upon hearing the words, Yuan Ba ​​started to breathe shortly.

The death of the first emperor has always been a thorn in his heart.

"Since you are visiting late at night, you must have a plan, then, what are you going to do?" Yuan Ba ​​asked slowly.

Qin Jiu smiled and stood up.

"I remember, the imperial mausoleum was guarded by the general leader? The first emperor's favorite concubine, Jing Taifei, is still alive in the imperial mausoleum?"

"Are you going to the imperial mausoleum?" Yuan Ba ​​frowned and asked incredulously.

Qin Jiu stretched his hands and smiled and said: "Relax, Commander, did I go to the tomb and only met Princess Jing. The death of the first emperor back then was said to be the poison that Princess Jing ordered Yan Yuxia. Many years have passed. Thinking, maybe Toffee Jing might have something else to say."

"No, it's too dangerous to enter the imperial tomb."

"Is there another way for the commander?"

Yuan Ba ​​frowned, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay! I'll arrange it. But, will Princess Jing really tell us?"

Qin Jiu said with a smile: "She may not tell us, but she will tell his son."

Yuan Ba ​​raised his eyebrows again, "You want Yan Yu to also go in?"

"Why not? Commander, Lord Yan hasn't seen his biological mother for many years, so he must have missed it tightly, and he will definitely accept your love."

"But, King Yan, is he reliable? What if he told the Lord, wouldn't we..." Yuan Ba ​​expressed extreme distrust of Yan Yu.

Qin Jiu smiled and said: "The leader can rest assured, Lord Yan may be a little unreliable, but he will never say anything about this."
