"Changzhai, you said she is a witch, so she naturally knows some witchcraft. How could a mere mortal kill her so easily? This witch is indeed weird. She has clearly never practiced martial arts. Not only can she evade my A killer move, and in the end he was evenly matched with me..."

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged man in a black gown. Because he was well maintained, he looked two years younger than Xie Qian.

"I will feel uneasy if I don't kill the witch."

The middle-aged man known as "Chang Zhai" walked into the room and sat not far from Xie Qian, with a gloomy look on his thin cheeks.

The man's surname was Wan, his given name was Xuan, and his courtesy name was Changzhai. He was a respected and sought-after great Confucian, a talented and famous person at that time.

Xie Qian sneered, "What a coincidence, that's what I thought too. The temptress has evil ways, and mortal power alone may not be able to kill her. She is hiding in the palace and is heavily guarded... With what happened today, she I will be more careful and it will be difficult to kill her next time.”

After hearing this, Wan Xuan clenched his fists secretly, with a bit of despair in his eyes.

"The witch actually has immortal methods?"

How can mortals fight against demons and immortals?

This temptress had ruined his family. Could it be that no one could deal with her?

Three or four years ago, Wan Xuan's daughter was only fifteen years old, barely reaching the age of hairpins.

That year, my daughter went to a Buddhist temple to offer incense and pray for her family. She accidentally lost a fragrant handkerchief and was picked up by a rogue.

It was just a matter of picking it up, but this scoundrel also spread the word everywhere, claiming that it was a fragrant handkerchief given to him by a lady from a certain family. Everyone thought that his daughter and this scoundrel had an unclean and illicit relationship, and the originally arranged marriage was ruined. The husband's family can't avoid him.

The rigid clan leader felt deeply embarrassed and took advantage of his absence to lead a group of people to take his daughter away to Shen Tang.

The euphemistic name is: die to clear your daughter's innocence, preserve her chastity, and preserve the reputation of the Wan family.

Not only that, Lian Wanxuan got married in his early years, and later he and his biological sister who left home also received the same treatment.

Overnight, he lost two of his closest relatives.

In anger, Wan Xuan not only hated the Wan clan, but also hated the source of all this - Queen Zhongzhao!

If this woman hadn't been a demon,

What kind of nonsense "Four Books for Women" will cause his daughter and biological sister to die?

He never believed in these claims about strange powers and gods, but he had to believe in people who couldn't even kill Xie Qian.

Xie Qian scoffed.

"Even if the witch has methods, they are evil methods."

Immortal?

Is that temptress who is so worthless and destitute of a living being worthy of this word?

Wan Xuan calmed down and asked, "Shaohe, what should we do now?"

Wan Xuan and Xie Qian used their connections and made careful arrangements, which gave Xie Qian the opportunity to sneak into Tianfeng Palace and assassinate the queen. Now that the assassination has failed, if the emperor sincerely pursues the investigation, Wan Xuan feels that he will not be able to hide it for long, and sooner or later they will be found out. superior.

They made preparations to escape before the emperor could react.

If you continue to stay in Zhongzhao, you will be caught sooner or later and cut into pieces.

Xie Qian paused in his movements of tying up the wounds, as if he was deep in thought.

He said, "For the present plan, we must first protect ourselves before making any plans. If we continue to stay in Zhongzhao, we will die sooner or later. It is better to flee to other countries. There are wars in Nansheng and it is difficult to protect ourselves. It is unwise to go there. Beiyuan Kingdom is at peace. Xichang is too far away, and the two countries have good relations with Zhongzhao. Going there is also asking for death. Now it seems that Dongqing is safer. Both father and son grew up drinking ink. , and also has a deep hatred for the temptress, so it should be a good choice to seek refuge with them and his son. "

Wan Xuan listened carefully and agreed without hesitation.

"I'm going to pack up my belongings and leave at night."

Xie Qian grabbed Wan Xuan's sleeve to stop him from being stupid.

He is not a stay-at-home guy like Wan Xuan. He is very experienced in the world. "We can't do it now. The timing is too sensitive. Let's calm down and wait for a day or two. As soon as the queen was assassinated, you just packed up all the money and prepared to move. Isn't that right?" Self-inflicted?"

"Just do whatever you need to do these two days, don't show off your flaws."

Wan Xuan had no choice but to follow Xie Qian's advice.

Xie Qian put on his clothes, tied his waist slowly, and asked.

"You are leaving, what should Wanshi do?"

Wan Xuan's face turned gloomy and cold.

"I can't control it anymore, just let it happen. After all, they owe me."

Wan Xuan also lost his wife when he was young. He originally wanted to get married again for the sake of his daughter. After all, a daughter's upbringing is inseparable from her mistress. But at that time, his younger sister was having conflicts and divorce with her husband's family, so he simply asked her to help him educate his daughter. I gave up the idea of ​​renewing my relationship, devoted myself to studying, and gradually became famous. Not only did he make good friends with many celebrities, he also made certain achievements in the officialdom and won honor for the Wan family.

To put it bluntly, Wan Xuan takes 80% of the credit for Wan's success in Zhongzhao.

However, the Wan clan is not only ungrateful, but also tries to push their noses and cheeks.

In the end, Wan Xuan's two most important relatives were forcibly submerged in the pond on the grounds of preserving their chastity and maintaining family tradition...

If he hadn't still been holding on to hatred in his heart, he might have been unable to withstand the successive blows and would have died long ago.

Implicate the Wan family?

They owed him this, and they would have to pay it back sooner or later.

Xie Qian didn't say much. This was Wan Xuan's private matter and he had nothing to do with it.

Two days later, the imperial city was on alert inside and outside, and the search area was further expanded. Seeing this, Xie Qian asked Wan Xuan to prepare to leave.

At this moment, Wan Xuan's connections played a significant role.

Not long after, the wheels of the carriage slowly rolled towards Dongqing, and the imperial city was left far behind.

Wan Xuan looked back with regret.

"We have left the imperial city... Alas, I guess we will never come back in this life."

He was over 40 years old, and half of his body was buried in the ground. Now he had to endure the pain of being away from his homeland.

If it weren't for that witch, he wouldn't have fallen into such a situation where he was almost a lost dog.

Xie Qian's injuries had not healed yet, so he couldn't ride a horse and could only sit in the carriage.

Hearing the sigh of Wan Xuan's old friend, he sneered.

"If you can live longer, maybe you can come back."

Wan Xuan looked at him in surprise.

Xie Qian said, "Look at the current situation in Zhongzhao. It's just the second Dongqing..."

The emperor is incompetent and favors the evil queen. He allows those who are in office but do nothing to exploit the people and enrich themselves, without caring about the people's livelihood.

The struggle between the court and the opposition is getting more intense. How many innocent and famous people have become cannon fodder for the fight between gods?

As for the powerful aristocratic families in Zhongzhao, it's even more ridiculous. Everyone has a high position and a generous salary. Half of the power of the court is in their hands. Economically, they have locked up the mountains and swamps, seized large tracts of land and tenants by trickery, and avoided paying taxes... On the other hand, they squeezed the people to the utmost.

In such a comfortable environment, a large number of aristocratic children who indulged in leisure and debauchery were born. They held power but disdained government affairs.

I wonder if there is any hope for Zhongzhao like this?

Eat the jujube pill!

Wan Xuan lowered his eyes and thought.

Xie Qian said, "Let's take it one step at a time. If Zhongzhao is in chaos, it may be a good opportunity for us."

The witch is fearless, in large part because she is the queen of Zhongzhao, and the whole country is her backer.

If Zhongzhao is gone, it will be much easier to deal with this witch.

Wan Xuan sighed and said, "I hope so."
