Qiu Wenshu turned a deaf ear to Li Zi's call, although his eyes fell on the dagger, Ning Chen's decisive expression was all in his mind.

——You said you liked me, what do you like about me?face?

——There is nothing you like.

As long as he recalled this scene, Qiu Wenshu's internal organs were in pain.

He didn't understand.

After the reunion, Ning Chen treats him sincerely, but asks him to remember that he is a person who seeks benefits by any means.

He kept it in mind, and he was also mentally prepared for Ning Chen to dedicate him to the young master of the three seedlings for these five cities, and found his own way out.

He thought he did a good job, but in the end, Ning Chen came to reprimand him for his lack of trust.

Could it be that in Ning Chen's heart, he is more important than the five cities that have been built so hard?

Could it be that he, Qiu Wenshu, can still override Ning Chen's interests?

Qiu Wenshu's heart was very stuffy, he was pulling at the front of his clothes, and his eyes showed pain.

Li Zi at the side looked startled, supported Qiu Wenshu's shoulder, and asked, "Mr. Qiu, are you alright?"

Qiu Wenshu pushed Li Zi away in a trance, with a hoarse voice: "Ask clearly, I want to ask clearly." After speaking, Qiu Wenshu coughed again and again, and he staggered out of bed with a dagger in his hand.

Li Zi remembered Ning Chen's left brow bone injury, and immediately stopped Qiu Wenshu.

But after stopping him, he was a little bit restrained.

Qiu Wenshu hurt the prince, but the prince did not order him to be killed, let alone any punishment. It can be seen that he still has affection for Qiu Wenshu...

He can't offend Qiu Wenshu...

"Uh... Mr. Qiu... where are you going?"

"I want to see you, my lord."

Li Zi smirked awkwardly, "Are you planning to go out to meet people like this?"

Qiu Wenshu lowered his head, with a few strands of long hair hanging down, haggard and depressed, he looked at himself, the messy mid laner was inappropriate at all.

Li Zi said: "You change first, I'll help you see if the prince is free now."

After all, without waiting for Qiu Wenshu to respond, Li Zi closed the door and reported the letter.

The inn they occupied was not big, Qiu Wenshu's wing room was in Ning Chen's yard, Li Zi reported the matter to Ning Chen within a short time.

Ning Chen was looking at the military book, and when he heard the words, he said expressionlessly: "If you mention this name in the future, this king will cut your tongue."

Li Zi immediately stopped talking, and asked cautiously: "My lord, should you see a doctor for the wound on your face? If there is a scar, then—"

Ning Chen glanced at Li Zi calmly, and Li Zi immediately stopped with a chill down his spine.

Ning Chen's deputy came in hastily, sweating on his face, lowered his head, and anxiously reported: "My lord, King Tiezhen hastened to report that Young Master Sanmiao sent troops ahead of time, and will besiege this place within half an hour."

Li Zi was stunned, and looked anxiously at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen immediately put down the book of war: "Send the order, put on your armor, and prepare for battle."

Li Zi anxiously said: "This battle is more fierce than good, your lord is a man of gold, please—"

There was a clattering sound, and Li Zi looked up in astonishment.

Ning Chen took off the armor, accidentally crushed a piece of armor, paused, and lowered his eyes and said: "You take a few elite subordinates and send Qiu Wenshu back to his clinic safely."

Li Zi was taken aback, and said: "The battle is ahead, let him do it—"

"This is a military order."

"...Yes." Li Zi bowed his head in response, turned around and raised the bamboo curtain, and met Qiu Wenshu's eyes under the eaves.

It was rumored in the room that Ning Chen had a pre-war discussion with the lieutenant general. During the detailed multi-party deployment, Qiu Wenshu had already pieced together the whole picture of the incident, his eyelashes fluttered and his eyes were slightly moist.

Ning Chen's words from last night rang in his ears.

——I told you that I will rescue you when you arrive in Beijing, do you believe me?

——If I said, I saw you take King Qi's knife, I have been waiting for your verdict, would you believe it?

These words tossed and turned in his heart, tearing him in two, one side believed in Ning Chen's sincerity, and the other side struggled rationally, doubting that Ning Chen would be the same as three years ago.

These self-disputes have answers at this moment.

——This battle is more dangerous than good.

——You take a few elite subordinates and send Qiu Wenshu back to his medical center safely.

When Ning Chen himself is in danger, if he wants to protect him, what doubts does he have?

All the things in the past were all due to him treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Looking at the tall figure vaguely visible in the bamboo curtain, Qiu Wenshu was full of guilt.

At this time, the discussion in the room gradually came to an end.

The lieutenant lifted the curtain and stepped out, murmuring: "If there are more than [-] people, we might be able to last until General Meng arrives..."

After hearing this, Qiu Wenshu broke into Ning Chen's room immediately: "Ning Chen!"

Ning Chen turned his head, his eyes passed him indifferently, and fell on Li Zi who was behind him: "Li Zi, this king asked you to take him away, didn't you hear?"

Li Zi stepped forward hesitantly, while Qiu Wenshu quickly ran in front of Ning Chen, took out his jade pendant, and said, "Our Qiuqiu family has kept private slaves in Sanmiao, and you let someone take my jade—"

Ning Chen strode past Qiu Wenshu without looking sideways, the wound on the tip of his left eyebrow was shocking.

Qiu Wenshu chased after him and said, "It's true."

Seeing that Ning Chen was about to step over the threshold and turn around to disappear, Qiu Wenshu became anxious and said, "That dagger of King Qi was used by me after I finished it."

Ning Chen stopped.

Qiu Wenshu ignited hope, coughed and said: "Three years ago, you, you saved me, I believe it."

"From now on, as long as you say it's true, I'll believe it."

Under the shady scene, Ning Chen's expression was difficult to understand.

Qiu Wenshu chased after him, took Ning Chen's hand, put the jade pendant engraved with the Qiu Clan emblem on his palm, and said, "The catastrophe is coming, don't worry about me, okay?"

Ning Chen silently looked at the jade pendant on his palm, feeling turbulent.

If Qiu Wenshu's private slave is really taken away, if he is defeated, Qiu Wenshu will definitely not be able to escape from Sanmiao...

After a while, he showed a very bored expression, tilted his head slightly to look at Qiu Wenshu, and asked, "I don't even have a [-]% chance of winning this battle, do you know?"

Qiu Wenshu nodded hastily, and said, "So, I, I want to help you even more."

"It's because I have saved your life before, and the words 'ungrateful' must never fall on you, Qiu Wenshu, so you gave me the jade pendant, right?"

Ning Chen took a step forward, while Qiu Wenshu stepped back unconsciously, staring blankly at him.

"A person who can't even get rid of worldly views for me, in a critical moment, because of courtesy, righteousness and shame, he said that he wants to accompany me to die, are you humiliating me?"

Qiu Wenshu shook his head: "No, it's not..."

"No? What is that for? You can't love me so much, can you?" Ning Chen approached step by step, Qiu Wenshu retreated step by step, Ning Chen gritted his teeth, he didn't even dare to look up at him. "Three years ago, you misunderstood me like this, which made me deeply involved and in great pain!"

Qiu Wenshu remembered Ning Chen's suicide last night, his hands trembled slightly.

"Do you still want me to go on like this?"

"If you really saved me, you will only make me repeat the same mistakes."

Qiu Wenshu shook his head. In a panic, he saw Ning Chen throwing his Qiu's Jade Pendant towards the center of the lake. He reached out to catch it uncontrollably, but the jade pendant jumped over his fingertips and fell into the lake. There is a little ripple, and there is no trace.

Qiu Wenshu stared blankly at the surface of the lake without any trace, and heard Ning Chen say decisively: "If you really want to repay your kindness, you should leave without hesitation and break with me from now on."

Qiu Wenshu's heart seemed to have been gouged out, his eyes were red with pain, Ning Chen beside him strode away, the red tassels on his phoenix-winged helmet fluttered slightly, his profile was indifferent.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zi stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qiu, don't waste time, we have to leave quickly."

Distraught, Qiu Wenshu was dragged into the carriage, and the carriage quickly staggered out of the inn.

Looking back and forth, the inn is getting smaller and smaller.

The sound of hooves of the three Miao troops from far to near, trampled on his heart.
