Inside the prison, Xu Chang seemed to have expected Feng Qingmo's departure and return, and as such, was not the least bit surprised. On the contrary, there was a sympathetic smile on his face. "If I'm not wrong, is the Crown Prince here to seek an answer?"

Feng Qingmo stared at Xu Chang, "Everything that has happened today, was it all part of your plan?"

Xu Chang didn't hide it and said, "If one can't take revenge for the sea of blood, living in this world will be a type of torture. Now that he was able to use his own death in exchange for the two nations' conflict to intensify, to Dan Shu, his death can be considered to be well-deserved. "

"You're all freaks!" Qi Yu could not help but ask, "Can you really avenge yourself at all costs? Not sparing to bring the people of Dongluo and the people of both countries into the flames of war? "

Xu Chang's face turned cold: You are not her, so how can you understand the pain of her entire family dying at the same time?

This... Qi Yu choked, "But... Are the people of the two countries innocent? We should at least find the right target to take revenge on, right? "

Xu Chang closed his eyes coldly, "What does the life and death of others have to do with me? If no one cares about me, why should I care about others! "

"Cold-blooded!" Qi Yu was furious.

Xu Chang was already silent, with a look of an old monk meditating. Feng Qingmo asked him: "How did you spread the news out of the city?"

Xu Chang said: "We have our own ways. Even if the crown prince were to ask, I wouldn't say anything. The Kang City will be ready, and we'll wait for the Eastern Barbarian to counterattack! "

"This is impossible!" Qi Yu said, "The Eastern Barbarian have already been withdrawn, how can they still attack? Helian Cheng's feelings for Dan Shu are not as deep as you think! "

Xu Chang slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

"You are wrong, my daughter. You still have to learn to see the essence through appearances! Helian Cheng's feelings for Dan Shu, are definitely not inferior to Helian Jing's feelings for Princess Zhuo Hua. "

"What did you say?"

Qi Yu stared blankly for a moment, then sneered: "You're not just casually saying it, we will all believe it."

Xu Chang was not in a hurry to refute, and only asked a question in reply: "Do you know who accompanied Helian Jing to the Ji City Graveyard to celebrate that year?"

Qi Yu did not answer, but she had a knot in her heart. Could it be that Helian Cheng went with Helian Jing all those years ago?

Xu Chang said: "That year, Eastern Barbarian sent Third Prince Helian Cheng to pay a visit to the Ji City together with Fourth Prince. The two brothers Helian Cheng and Helian Jing, a man of letters and a warrior, one was in charge of communicating with the imperial government of Dongluo, with a humble attitude, to coordinate the relationship between the two countries. The other was responsible for displaying the strength of the Eastern Barbarian, making it impossible for the latter to underestimate the power of the two nations. Helian Cheng was talented, but because he was facing the imperial government with their Dongluo, they did not attract Princess Zhuo Hua's attention. Instead, it was Helian Jing, who was in charge of displaying her strength, who attracted Princess Zhuo Hua's attention. You must have heard Helian Jing's ridicule towards Helian Cheng from the Eastern Barbarian Army. Indeed, Helian Cheng was quite interested in Princess Zhuo Hua at that time. "However, you do not know that other than these two brothers, there is another person who has hidden himself under the splendor of the two princes. However, he has also revealed his head."

"It's Helian Cheng?"

"When the two princes came to the capital, the Emperor of Eastern Barbarian had naturally sent out his most skilled imperial guards to accompany them. The Emperor has a great deal of respect for his skills. Therefore, as the commander of the Forbidden Army at that time, Helian Cheng accompanied the two princes to the Ji City to celebrate with them. "

"And Dan Shu, as Princess Zhuo Hua's Sword Attendant, her skills are also not bad, so she attracted Helian Cheng's attention?"

Xu Chang glanced at Qi Yu: "As expected, smart, it hit the mark."

Qi Yu frowned, and looked at Feng Qingmo. Was what the old man said true?

Feng Qingmo did not say anything. Because, he was not at the scene back then, and had only heard about everything from Jun Zibi. As Jun Zibi's attention was on Princess Zhuo Hua, he did not pay much attention to Dan Shu, so, even if Dan Shu had any interactions with Helian Chengzhen, he might have missed it.

Qi Yu looked at Xu Chang: "Such an old person, to make up a love story like this, isn't it simple?"

Xu Chang laughed: "Dan Shu is the bloodline of my old friend, and is also like my daughter. I am naturally clear about her situation, how could I possibly tell you a story?"

"But Dan Shu clearly likes Jun Zibi!"

"The swordmaster who taught the skills to Princess Zhuo Hua?"

"That's right!"

"This is true. Dan Shu did indeed have some feelings for this sword master. However, the matters of revenge were too serious. She couldn't delay her relationship with a girl. After there was no hope of revenge for the Ji City, she left the Imperial Palace. At that time, Princess Zhuo Hua had already married into the Western Xia. Dan Shu had initially hoped that by getting close to Helian Jing, he would be able to incite Helian Jing's hatred towards his Dongluo and draw his Eastern Barbarian to attack them. Unfortunately, at that time, his Eastern Barbarian was still weak, so Helian Jing did not take the initiative to start fighting. Helian Jing was very clear about the feelings Helian Cheng had for Dan Shu, so the two of them requested for and Helian Cheng to marry each other. However, Helian Cheng was also a man who understood the reason why Dan Shu came to the Eastern Barbarian. He understood that Dan Shu did not take him seriously at all, and was thus resentful in her heart. Her attitude towards Dan Shu was extremely vile. This is called deep love and hate, understand? "

Qi Yu finally understood!

Presumably, what Xu Chang had said was not a lie. She had also heard and seen Helian Cheng's attitude towards Dan Shu from within his Eastern Barbarian Army, and judging from that, it was most likely what Xu Chang had said.

Sigh, to think that the relationship between the Eastern Barbarian Imperial Family and the Dongluo Imperial Family would be twisted and entangled, to the point of confusion!

She shrugged. "So, you mean, Eastern Barbarian Army will definitely return and attack Dongluo again?"

Xu Chang said confidently: "Of course. Although Helian Cheng blamed Dan Shu for being merciless to him, if he knew that Dan Shu had died in Kang City without reason, he would definitely not let go of his Kang City and would definitely make a comeback. "

Qi Yu did not believe him, "But the Eastern Barbarian Army should still be Helian Jing's choice, right? If Helian Jing did not let him come, would he dare to disobey? "

Xu Chang laughed again. That smile was truly meaningful and thought-provoking: "I'm afraid Helian Jing is no longer in the Eastern Barbarian Army!"

Qi Yu immediately became alert: "What do you mean?"

However, Xu Chang changed the subject. "Helian Jing has always been a courageous and radical person, which was why he was liked by the Emperor of Eastern Barbarian. If he suddenly and innocently withdrew his troops, he would definitely offend Long Yan and invite disaster upon himself. This time, his Eastern Barbarian Army will not be able to be decided by him. "

"What did you mean by that?" Qi Yu was not willing to let it go, "Earlier, you said that he might no longer be in Eastern Barbarian Army.

Xu Chang laughed but did not say a word, nor gave an answer.

Feng Qingmo frowned as he looked at Xu Chang: "You know about Princess Zhuo Hua?"

Qi Yu was startled, then looked at Xu Chang again: "You know about Princess Zhuo Hua's disappearance? Could it be that you are still in the Kang City? "

Xu Chang said indifferently, "Princess Zhuo Hua has endured the pain of being yearning for three years. Now, she has brought Lin'er to persuade her to surrender. "Once someone says something in her ear that arouses her courage to run away in search of her lover, everything becomes logical!"

"You actually arranged for people to be by Princess Zhuo Hua's side?" Qi Yu was startled, who was it?

"You came here with the crown prince probably not just to investigate about Dan Shu, right?" The smile on Xu Chang's face became even more unclear, "Do you still want to know if the person you are worried about is really still alive?"

Qi Yu was in a mess!

What did Old Xu mean by this!?

He knew that she was here to ask about Chu Yixuan's whereabouts. Could it be, what he meant to say was that the person he arranged to be by Princess Zhuo Hua's side, was Chu Yixuan?

"This is impossible!" Qi Yu sneered, "If I'm not a fool, then it's just rain!"

Xu Chang laughed: "But, you guessed the answer correctly."

"You're lying!" Qi Yu shouted.

Xu Chang looked at Feng Qingmo, laughed, and then lowered his eyes.

Feng Qingmo stood at the side, frowning from start to finish, not saying a word. He slowly pulled Qi Yu's shoulder, "Alright, let's go back first."

Qi Yu stomped her feet in hatred, "Old man, don't play tricks on me, no one's IQ is negative!"

Xu Chang said: "I've already told you the truth, whether you believe it or not, it all depends on you. — Crown Prince, be careful of the people closest to you!"

Feng Qingmo said with a dark face, "Since Crown’s Master is in such a mood, you should worry about your own fate a little!"

Xu Chang laughed loudly, "The crown prince has the authority, but can also take me on the spot. There's no need to escort me back to the Ji City anymore!"

Qi Yu said bitterly: "You wish! I won't let you taste the torture of Justice Division one by one.

Xu Chang looked at Qi Yu: "You really aren't my own flesh and blood, that's why your heart is so ruthless. No matter what, I still advise you that if you don't die at the hands of your own father, you will die at the hands of your own husband. This is her life. Even if you weren't her, you still wouldn't be able to escape. "

Qi Yu laughed coldly: "I'll wait and see if you're accurate or not!"

Xu Chang squinted his eyes with a smile that was not a smile and did not speak anymore.

When Feng Qingmo was brought out of the prison, he still did not say a word.

Qi Yu looked at him: "Do you believe what the old man said?"

Feng Qingmo stared at her. "Which part is it about?"

"Of course it's the part about Chu Yixuan." Qi Yu said.

The part regarding Dan Shu, was not important to her at all.

As for the part of her that wasn't Xu Rouzhi, she didn't even feel like she was part of it. Feng Qingmo already knew that she was Qi Yu, not Xu Rouzhi.

Feng Qingmo's gaze was deep as he looked at Qi Yu silently: "I know you don't believe me."

"Of course! And you shouldn't believe it, either, right? " Qi Yu cried out, "You have interacted quite a bit with Chu Yixuan, you should know him very well, right?"

Looking at the silent Feng Qingmo, Qi Yu's righteousness slowly disappeared, and her tone was not so certain anymore, "Um, he probably did want to compete for the throne with Chu Yizhao at the beginning, but … But didn't he slowly change? "Later on, he no longer cared so much about the throne. You should be able to tell …"

Uh, maybe, Feng Qingmo did not notice.

After all, Feng Qingmo and Chu Yixuan did not interact much.

Even she hadn't interacted enough with Chu Yixuan! Did she dare say that he had given up the idea of fighting for the throne? When he came to the Kang City, he had said that he wanted to use this opportunity to save himself. He wanted to let the people of the Kang City to display the effect of being able to carry a boat with water …

Was this the result of him letting go of the competition, or was this his intention to fall deeper into the trap?

Feng Qingmo's face was calm as he stared at Qi Yu: "Then do you think that he's really worth your trust?"

"I believe him!" After hesitating for a moment, Qi Yu said with determination.

Although she didn't dare say whether or not Chu Yixuan had let down his ambition, she believed that he wouldn't be as innocent and exhausted as Xu Chang. He did not dare say what happened after that, but from everything that had happened, fighting Chu Yizhao and Chu Yiyun, Chu Yixuan had only fought them to protect himself, he had never seen him injuring any innocent people. He could take out his own speed to secretly help the commoners, and could also take care of the weak Yu Er, Oda and the others. How could such a person be as sinister as Xu Chang had said?

He was someone she had already determined. No matter what, she would not give up. She had to find him and face everything together! If he made a mistake, she would help him correct it; if he was wronged, she would help him clear it up!
