Xiao Qinghuan

Chapter 86

Yan Qing didn't go far.

He leaned against the door panel, only one door separated him from Jiang Xiaohan.

Not to mention acquaintance, from Liujia Village to now, Yan Qing thinks that he has slept with Jiang Xiaohan for a long time, and this is the first time he heard him speak in such a cold tone.It sounds so understatement, every word that comes out is like a knife, like a life-long death without changing his face.

With the strength of his ears, the thin layer of door panels can't isolate any sound at all, even the sound of cloth rubbing is very clear - Jiang Xiaohan must know this too.

Yan Qing looked up at the waning moon in the sky, feeling a little dazed for a moment.He really couldn't connect Jiang Xiaohan who remembered bringing candied haws to the child when he returned home, with the Jiang Xiaohan who was threatening He Liuyun to commit suicide in the room.

When Wen Zui had a stroke, Yan Qing was not in Pingjiang City.Jiang Xiaohan's letter to him was also a few sentences, without mentioning the specific situation.Up to now, Yan Qing suddenly wondered whether Wen Zui was also a king and a loser like He Liuyun at that time.

This may be the first time that Yan Qing has truly realized what kind of life Jiang Xiaohan has lived in the past ten years.He Liuyun may have had the greatest confidence, but in an instant, he fell from a stable win situation to this situation.

Not even as good as Wen Zui.

The bigger the cards in your hand, the harder you will fall if you make a careless move.

It really is walking on thin ice.

He Liuyun had much more backbone than Wen Zui, Yan Qing heard Jiang Xiaohan fall silent, and within a moment there was a crisp sound of unsheathing, followed by a heavy muffled sound.

It seemed to be the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The sound of heavy boots stomping on the ground approached step by step from behind, Wei Shen directed the guards to carry He Liuyun's body out of the lobby, and when he went out, he found that Yan Qing hadn't left yet, so he couldn't help being stunned.

"Mr. Yan."

Yan Qing nodded, his eyes fell on He Liuyun - the other person was wrapped in a black silk cloth, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on underneath.

The uncomfortable feeling of chest tightness came up again, but it was more serious than the previous few days.

Jiang Xiaohan couldn't help rubbing his chest vigorously, only to feel a bit better.

He Liuyun was more open-minded than he imagined. After realizing that he was bound to die, he still pulled out Wei Shen's saber and killed himself, which was considered the last of his face.

The warm blood soaked into the mud, showing a shocking dark brown under the dim candlelight.The smell of blood spread in the air, reminding Jiang Xiaohan that he just took a life himself.

Guan Zhong seemed to be ready to take the fact that "Xie Jue was drunk and talking nonsense" a fact, and his attack was ruthless and steady, until he was dragged out of the door with resistance, Xie Jue didn't even have the slightest intention of waking up.

The inexplicable fatigue surged up again, and he was so tired that he didn't even have the energy to stand up and speak.

Jiang Xiaohan watched the people in the Shenwei camp clean up the house in silence, and then retreated lightly.The blood on the ground stained the feet of the heavy boots, following their footsteps to make a bloody road.

The candle beside the bed was torn by the wind, and the scattered sparks fell to the ground, right where He Liuyun had committed suicide just now, Jiang Xiaohan looked like he was being scalded, and hurriedly rolled his eyes away.

Xie Jue was taken away by Guan Zhong, and Shenwei Ying did not dare to stay for long in order to avoid suspicion. The room became quiet again in an instant, as if everything was just an illusion.

Jiang Xiaohan stood up holding the table case, walked down the case with stagnant steps, bent down and wiped the ground lightly with his fingertips.

The blood stains that hadn't dried up wrapped around his fingertips in an instant, and slowly seeped into his skin, like a branding mark on his body.

Jiang Xiaohan was a little dazed. He twisted his thumb slightly, and the dark blood stains melted on his fingertips, which couldn't be wiped clean no matter how much he rubbed.

There were footsteps coming towards him outside the door, the footsteps were steady and light, it was familiar to Jiang Xiaohan who had heard it thousands of times.Jiang Xiaohan used to be overjoyed every time he heard these footsteps.

But only this time, he wished it was his own illusion.

Yan Qing stood still two steps away from him, and called out: "Xiaohan."

Jiang Xiaohan stood up, and subconsciously put his blood-stained hands behind his back, as if to hide.

He didn't want to ask how Yan Qing appeared here at all - there was no need to ask.

Yan Qing had never seen him so panic-stricken, and couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

"What Xie Jue said is true?" Yan Qing asked.

"It's true." Jiang Xiaohan said.

Yan Qing pursed her lips, and asked again: "Did you personally order those lives to be wiped out?"

His tone was very flat, without even the slightest hint of questioning, as if he was simply asking for his answer.

Jiang Xiaohan was about to say something, but stopped.He suddenly realized a problem - Yan Qing would not come to the government office for no reason, he never liked to be involved in these official matters, and he would not even ask about them unless necessary.

And Yan Qing happened to appear here at this time tonight, which almost made him lose his mind.Jiang Xiaohan suddenly remembered that day when Yan Qing said that someone in his family had sent him a message, and he didn't care about it at that time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, there is still something he doesn't understand.

That night outside the government office in Pingjiang Mansion, He Liuyun probably saw his relationship with Yan Qing, so he wanted to use provocations to mess with Yan Qing.

He Liuyun could see this at a glance, but what about others.

Jiang Xiaohan understood in an instant that he would never bring Yan Qing back to the capital.With the imperial power at the top, being the heir of Kunlun will only push Yan Qing into the abyss with him.

What's more, he was really indisputable about this matter.Although He Liuyun has ambitions, no matter what happens in the future, at least until today, he still does not deserve to die.On the contrary, Jiang Xiaohan personally ordered the obliteration of those lives, and He Liuyun was threatened to death by him in front of Yan Qing.

No matter what, it was because he looked more like a ruthless power minister who disregarded human lives.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Jiang Xiaohan's flustered heart calmed down, with a kind of all-or-nothing determination.

Jiang Xiaohan said, "Yes."

The words were out of his mouth, but Jiang Xiaohan felt relieved, mixed with a secret pleasure.The last layer of barrier that had been making him panic all this time was torn apart by his own hands, revealing the bright red and real wound in his heart.It seemed that he was finally able to speak out, and finally he was able to cut himself completely open for Yan Qing to see, and told him that he was such an unscrupulous and ruthless person, and that he would do anything to achieve his goal.

The fine pain spread from the heart, along his meridians, extending to all the limbs.

Jiang Xiaohan suddenly thought, in fact, from a certain point of view, he is no different from He Liuyun and Wen Zui.Even a little bit more ruthless than them, Wen Zui and He Liuyun are at least greedy for their own life and power, while he is not even afraid of anything.

Yan Qing didn't speak.

Due to emotion and reason, Yan Qing believed that he did not stand in Jiang Xiaohan's position, so naturally he had no right to judge his actions.He just raised his head, and his eyes fell on the plaque above Jiang Xiaohan's head behind the mirror.

The plaque hangs high above the main hall, but it has faded due to the difficulty of repairing for a long time.

Yan Qing sighed very lightly, lowered his eyes, avoiding Jiang Xiaohan's gaze.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't miss the disappointment that flickered in his eyes.

Yan Qing didn't speak again, nor did he look at Jiang Xiaohan again, he took half a step back slightly, turned around and walked out of the mansion step by step.

It wasn't until his back disappeared into the night that he could no longer see clearly, Jiang Xiaohan flickered, staggered back two steps, and leaned on the table.

His chest has been in severe pain since just now, and the arms holding the table are trembling violently.

Jiang Ying, who had been hiding in the dark since just now, walked up a few steps to hold his arm to help him stabilize his body, and said worriedly: "...Young Master, there is still time for this subordinate to chase after him."

Jiang Xiaohan only felt that his chest was so painful that it was about to explode. He gasped intermittently, and his eyes turned black.

He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he choked out a mouthful of black blood.

"Son!"

Jiang Xiaohan waved his hand, and he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood intermittently, and the oppression that had been stagnant in his chest was much better.He raised his hand nonchalantly to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "There's no need to chase... You'll take a few people back to the house in a while. I'm worried that Ah Ling will be alone at home."

"My lord..." Jiang Ying didn't move: "Why don't you tell Mr. Yan that most of those people are criminals in custody."

"He Liuyun committed suicide in fear of crime, so they must be innocent people." Jiang Xiaohan said, "Understood."

"But--"

"Not to mention that they are criminals." Jiang Xiaohan laughed at himself: "Do they all deserve to die for their crimes, or should they die today?"

Jiang Ying was speechless for a moment.

"Since it's not true, it makes no difference whether it's a commoner or a criminal." Jiang Xiaohan pushed Jiang Ying's hand away from him, and stood firm: "In the final analysis, it's all the blood on my hands. What Ah Qing sees is the truth. What's wrong with that."

Jiang Xiaohan's cuffs were stained with a few drops of coughed up blood, looking a little embarrassed.

"Go." Jiang Xiaohan waved his hands tiredly: "Don't make Ah Ling afraid at home alone."

"What about the young master?" Jiang Ying asked: "Aren't you going back to the mansion, young master?"

Jiang Xiaohan seemed to subconsciously avoid this question, and hastily refused: "No. I... I'll go and see Xie Jue."

This secret trial didn't take much time, and Shenwei Ying's swift hands and feet had already sent He Liuyun's body back to the official post without anyone noticing it.

The sky was getting darker, and the vendors in the original market began to pack their things and go home one after another. The guards at the top of the city were drowsy, and they only waited for the time to close the city gate and go back to rest on duty.

A moment later, a pitch-black steed suddenly approached the city from far to near, brushing the half-closed city gate menacingly and submerging into the moonlight outside the city.

Jing Zhan's cheeks were sore from the autumn wind, so he could only bend down and hold on tight to the rein, and asked loudly, "Master, where are we going?"

The jade pendant around his waist was tapped on the saddle, making a startling muffled sound.

Yan Qing said in a deep voice, "Go back to Kunlun."

PS: No divorce, no divorce, after all, I already have a baby, for the sake of the child [bushi].The "difference of ideas" between the two of them has always been there, but there have been no sharp incidents that lead to conflicts.It was the first clue to appear at Granny Wen's place, and it was already made clear when Jiang Xiaohan slipped his tongue in the Betao incident.In fact, Mr. Jiang should have discovered this earlier, but he has a prejudice against himself, so he has not made any effective solutions.This temporary conflict is also to adjust the different concepts of the two parties. After all, when it comes to love, the solution should be resolved XD~ And thanks to the enthusiastic citizens for pork, bells, ordinary hazy sky, and the fish fed by Zi Qi Food~thank you very much~
