Late at night, in a secret and quiet courtyard in Ji County, a wooden house with dim lights, only bursts of call for help were heard.

When he looked inside, he saw Chu Qiao being tied to a wooden pillar, struggling with the rope on his body with force. His pretty and cute round face was filled with a hint of anxiety. He looked at the man in black in front of him and shouted: "Who are you? Help, help!"

"Stop shouting," the man in black said lightly, slowly took out a sharp knife, played with it flexibly between his fingers, and said softly: "I don't want to hurt you, as long as I am obedient, I can even let you go immediately."

"Do you know who I am? I am a first-class maid from the governor's mansion. Once I disappear, my wife, or even the governor's mansion, will look for me," Chu Qiao said angrily.

"Haha, I naturally know this, and your name was given by Yuan Xi. Because of this, as long as you have the chance to get close to Yuan Xi, there is a bottle of poison here. As long as you put it quietly into Yuan Xi's meals, everything will be considered as never before, and you will even get a rich compensation." The man in black smiled.

"What!" Chu Qiao's pupils shrank, and she said in disbelief: "You want to harm the marquis."

"Yes, Yuan Xi has developed too fast, which has affected my master. I can't stay anymore. As long as you can get things done well, you will have endless wealth and glory in the future."

"You're dreaming" Chu Qiao immediately burst into tears in anxiety and said loudly: "The Marquis will definitely kill you."

The man in black shook his head in disappointment, holding the dagger in hand, slowly walked towards Chu Qiao, looking at the pretty face and said, "Do you think you should just scratch the left first or the right first?"

"Anyway, even if I die, I will never harm the marquis." Chu Qiao looked at the man in black with hatred, with determination in her eyes.

"Haha, it's interesting. I heard that although Yuan Xi gave you a name, he still treated you as an ordinary maid. Why should you be so loyal?" The man in black smiled contemptuously.

"I was originally a maid, the marquis' maid," Chu Qiao said unmoved at all.

"It seems that it's not okay if you don't give you a little bit of pain, come here." The man in black shouted outside, and saw two other men in black walking in and said respectfully: "Chief"

"Take her well, wait until you understand, let me know again."

"promise!"

Chu Qiao gritted her teeth and looked at a large water tank that was suddenly placed in front of her, with a firm look in her eyes.

After the man in black left the room, he gently put his hood down and saw a handsome face appearing in front of him. When he heard the sound of choking water coming from the room, he smiled bitterly: "Hey! Why should I leave this difficult problem to me!"

"Jiu Master" At this time, a strong man ran over and whispered.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Jiu asked angrily.

"The general manager lets you go over"

"I understand." Zhang Jiu turned his head and looked at the door and left directly.

At noon the next day, Yuan Xi, dressed in a gorgeous costume, appeared under a locust tree. Zhang Nan was standing aside, and Zhang Jiu respectfully knelt on one knee.

"How is it?" Yuan Xi asked softly.

"Report to Marquis, Chu Qiao is very loyal. It is already quite good to be able to persist after coming out in this night. Many newcomers from the Black Demon are far from this perseverance, especially since she has not yet undergone special training," Zhang Jiu replied immediately.

"Go and see" Yuan Xi stood up expectantly.

"promise!"

When the three of them came to the door of a wooden box, Zhang Jiu gently opened a secret small wooden window. After Yuan Xi looked in, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw Chu Qiao's hair was tied to a wooden pillar with a trace of blood on his body, which was caused by the whipping at that time.

"Bastard" Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi turned cold and looked at Zhang Nan and said, "Didn't Xi ask you to mean it?"

Zhang Nan was stunned and hurriedly said, "Marty, this is already the lowest."

Yuan Xi's eyes narrowed. For some reason, when he saw Chu Qiao's appearance, he felt a little distressed.

"Open the door immediately," Yuan Xi ordered.

Zhang Jiu was shocked and said anxiously: "Marty, it's only one day. At this scale, it takes three days to test the level of loyalty. Chu Qiao has excellent qualifications and will definitely become the trump card of the black demon. Why don't you wait?"

But soon, a slap had already pulled Zhang Jiu out. Zhang Nan came to Zhang Jiu with evil spirits and said without any emotion: "Xiao Jiuzi, have you forgotten the first rule I taught you back then? The Marquis' words are the truth of the black demon. You are not qualified to give your opinions. Did you violate it just now? Should you let Lao Liu train you?"

Hearing the words Lao Liu, Zhang Jiu's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Marty, I was wrong."

"Forget it, open the door." Yuan Xi waved his hand. It was not a big deal about Zhang Jiu. He felt that he was wrong.

After the door was opened, Yuan Xi rushed in, looked at Chu Qiao with his head down, quickly picked up his pale little face and said, "Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao."

Chu Qiao opened her eyes with difficulty, and after seeing Yuan Xi in a confused way, she murmured: "Mr. Marquis, I won't harm you even if I die."

Yuan Xi was shocked and pulled the rope off with one hand. Chu Qiao was about to fall down, and she picked her up and said, "Go and find a doctor."

"No!" Zhang Jiu rushed out immediately.

Looking at Chu Qiao, who was covered in wounds, Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Zhang Nan, you are right. Xi's state is under his command, with 200,000 soldiers, a full of civil and military officials, and there are no less than 10,000 secret spies. There is no need to make the women around him work so hard. Just pretend that Xi has never mentioned this matter, and give up the following series of plans for Chu Qiao."

"Half Marquis is wise" Zhang Nan nodded with a smile.

At about dusk, Chu Qiao slowly opened her eyes and saw Yuan Xi sitting beside her. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's an illusion again."

Yuan Xi smiled and said gently: "Girl Chu, isn't an illusion, is it okay?"

Chu Qiao was stunned, then reacted, quickly looked around, and found that he was no longer in the dark room, and immediately rushed into Yuan Xi's arms and started crying loudly, "Marty, you are finally here, Chu Qiao thought he wouldn't see you even if he is here."

"A group of clowns who can't make trouble here." Yuan Xi stroked Chu Qiao's hair and said a lie. It would be better to hide such things forever, otherwise it would probably hurt Chu Qiao's heart.

"I just knew that the Marquis was the most powerful," Chu Qiao said happily.

Looking at the very attractive little face, Yuan Xi said softly: "You suffered this time. I heard that you were very loyal when you were tortured. After you go back, you will compensate you. Don't you like to learn martial arts? Go and learn from Lingqi in the future!"

"Really," Chu Qiao said excitedly.

"Of course, Xi is giving you the identity of a pampered girl." Yuan Xi smiled slightly. He had already thought about it. After this incident, he could give her a title in the name of Chu Qiao's loyalty to protect the master. This would not only calm the storm in the governor's mansion, but also make those who target her be honest.

As for the dark demon today, there is no shortage of Chu Qiao. Since she can't bear to suffer in her heart, then forget it.

After half an hour, Yuan Xi stepped out of the villa. Liu Quan ran over and said excitedly: "Report to the Marquis, just now, Malai reported that Lord Tian had officially entered the territory of Zuoxian King of the Huns three days ago. Zuoxian King did not refuse, but instead opened the way directly. At the latest today or tomorrow, the two sides will officially meet to discuss the issue of Miss Cai's return to Han."

"Okay," Yuan Xi nodded, and after a gleam in his eyes, he said, "How old is Miss Cai this year?"

"It seems that there is six in twenty," Liu Quan replied unsure.

"Immediately send an order to the Government Affairs Hall to integrate all the list of officials aged 27 to 32 in our Youzhou, as well as military generals, and to me," Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly. After so much effort, although he was mainly pitying this talented man, he still had to share half of the fruits. If Cai Wenji married an official under his command, then this reputation would belong to him sooner or later. He must be fast. He must be ahead of his father and choose a good match to write a letter. Otherwise, if his father takes the initiative to give him a marriage, he will have no chance.

I was wrong. I just found that the title seems to be ambiguous. Everyone must understand it correctly!! It is not possible to change it at the moment.
