When Chang'an opened her eyes sleepily, she found that in the dim light, a man was pointing a knife at Bei Mingxuan's heart, and Bei Mingxuan seemed unable to move. Looking closely, her hair and eyebrows were covered with a layer of ice.
"Ah!" Chang'an exclaimed.
Such a thing was unexpected. "Prince?"
"Gu Chang'an?" The man holding the knife said sternly, "Don't worry, I'm only interested in the Qilin Weapon Talisman, and your lives are worthless to me."
"..." Chang'an was annoyed, "Not worth a penny? Not worth a penny, yet you're threatening me with his life in exchange for something that's obviously very valuable."
“!!!”
The visitor had not expected that at this time, this Gu Changan still had the mind to play tricks on him. "It seems that the rumors in the world are also true. He really doesn't have enough brains."
"Chang... An." Bei Mingxuan's voice was extremely low, as if he had exhausted all his strength to utter these words. "The military token is the dowry given to you by the Southern Emperor. It's yours. Don't waste it on someone like me who won't live long..."
Bei Mingxuan didn't finish his words.
He was hit by a palm and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Oh! Isn't what I said right?"
Only then did Chang'an notice that there was a person sitting in the darkest corner of the room. The blood that Bei Mingxuan spat out was caused by this person.
"Prince?" The figure in the darkness said with full of sarcasm, "It's just an empty title, yet you dare to call yourself a king? You really think you are so important and overestimate your own abilities."
"Who are you?" Chang'an finally saw the person in front of him clearly. He was wearing a white ghost face mask and a Tibetan robe. There was a cluster of golden peony flowers embroidered on the left cuff and the lower right side of the robe, and the two peonies were symmetrical.
Dongfang Ge? Chang'an hadn't expected him to come in person. "Prince Dongfang?"
"Oh? I'm very interested. I wonder how Princess Xuan found out." His voice was filled with strong interest as he walked up to Chang'an. "Or rather, I should call you Miss Gu. After all, you two... well, you know the answer!"
Chang'an's heart skipped a beat. This Dongfang Ge was much stronger than he had imagined.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Bei Mingxuan's voice, "He is deliberately deceiving you."
The sound disappeared, and Bei Mingxuan spat out another mouthful of blood on the ground.
At this moment, Chang An realized that Bei Mingxuan was really suffering from the cold poison. "Someone come... someone come quickly."
"Don't waste your energy. All of you are controlled by this prince." Dongfang Ge's voice was filled with disdain. "As long as you hand over the things, this prince guarantees that none of you will lose a single hair."
Chang'an certainly knew that his people must have been controlled, otherwise they would not have disappeared, especially Fu Cheng and Bai Lu.
But I still have a fantasy in my heart, "What if I don't give it to you?"
"Princess Xuan, if you don't care about these people's lives, you can of course withhold them for now." Dongfang Ge said slowly, "But it won't prevent me from searching you myself."
As he said this, he pretended to touch Chang'an.
"It's not on me." Chang'an's face was extremely frightened. He looked terrified. "Don't touch me."
Changan was trembling as he spoke, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, "Don't touch me, I, I'll give it to you. But I, I want to see everyone safe."
"Haha, Gu Chang'an, you are so scared, and you still have the courage to negotiate conditions with this prince? You are not qualified." There was a hint of anger in Dongfang Ge's voice, and if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a bit of disgust.
He looked down on such women, who were timid and stupid. In his eyes, Chang'an was just born with a good appearance.
"Okay." Chang'an's voice was moving, but her eyes were staring at the eyes behind the mask with extreme seriousness. "Then we will perish together. The prince and I cannot live together. Then you can forget about getting what you want. You will never get it, because only I, Gu Chang'an, know where the Qilin military talisman is."
"You dare!" The face behind the mask began to distort.
"What are you afraid of? You're a coward, and you're wearing a mask. I need to think carefully about whether you are the Prince of the East. Maybe you're just an imposter."
After several conversations, Chang'an had already seen that Dongfang Ge was extremely conceited and arrogant. If he wanted to disrupt his rhythm, it would be inevitable to make him angry.
She was certain that if this person was really Dongfang Ge, he would definitely agree to her conditions in order to obtain the Qilin Military Talisman.
In the eyes of such an extremely conceited person, he is the master of the world, he is God, and everything is under his control.
"Okay! This prince promises you." Dongfang Ge ordered the people staring at Bei Mingxuan, "Gather everyone in the hall."
"yes."
Soon everyone gathered in the hall. Chang'an supported Bei Mingxuan and followed Dongfang Ge, walking out slowly.
Chang'an saw that all the people seemed to have no strength left, lying limply, and were tied up. Fu Cheng, Bai Lu, and Nangong Rui were among them.
"There's another person." Chang'an looked at Dongfang Ge stubbornly, "Where's Doctor Yu?"
"Doctor Yu?" Dongfang Ge sneered, "You mean that loser is dead?"
He waved his hand and someone immediately dragged Doctor Yu's body into the hall.
Chang'an took a breath and looked down at Bei Mingxuan, who was about to faint and was still trembling.
She knew that this matter had to be resolved quickly, otherwise Bei Mingxuan would be in real trouble. "Are you really the Dongfang Prince of Shijin Kingdom?"
"Gu Chang'an!" Dongfang Ge said, practically gritting his teeth, "This prince's patience is limited."
"Why can't they move?" Although she knew that Bei Mingxuan's body might not hold out for much longer, she had to ensure that the emperor's secret guards were alive. At least two of them had to be alive. Only then would the emperor believe everything that happened today. "I want to see them safe and sound."
Dongfang Ge clenched his fists tightly, and Chang'an could clearly hear the sound of bones cracking.
She understood that Dongfang Ge was on the verge of anger, and she knew that she could not ask for anything else, otherwise it would backfire.
So they stopped waiting for Dongfang Ge and gave them the antidote.
Chang'an took a deep breath, let down his hair, and took out the Qilin military talisman from his bun.
Dongfang Ge looked at Chang'an in surprise. He never expected that this person would comb the Qilin military talisman into his hair.
"This is the Qilin Military Talisman." Chang'an held it in his palm, "I can give it to you and let them go."
