Xiao Yizheng took a short break in the meeting hall, and when he got up, the sun was already setting.
The attendant came to report that Xin Zhao was waiting outside with Chikina.
He straightened his clothes and ordered people to come in.
When the curtain of the meeting hall was opened, he raised his eyes and saw that the first thing that entered his eyes was still the fiery red color. He waved his hand, and Xin Zhao stepped aside and stood.
Chikina was obviously in a state of embarrassment, but she still raised her head proudly, unwilling to take any twists and turns.
Xiao Yizheng saw that although she was haggard and no longer as flamboyant as when he first saw her, her whole person did not look like she was wasted. He said calmly: "It seems that the princess has been doing well in my Dacheng for a few days," he pointed out.
Pointing to the round stool beside him: "Sit down."
Chikina's eyes were bright and she felt a little sad. She stood up straight and said straightforwardly: "Prince Heng, I want to welcome back the body of my father Khan."
Xiao Yizheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a slight smile: "Welcome back? Welcome to where? Prisoner of war camp?"
"Yes!" Chikina said decisively, "With me."
Xiao Yizheng moved his body and leaned on the back of the chair, looking strong and lazy: "Why should I agree to you?"
Kikina seemed to hesitate.
Xiao Yizheng looked at her with a broad smile and said gently: "You must have come to me with good conditions. You might as well tell her directly. Sit down and talk slowly."
His attitude surprised Kikina. As brave as he was in fighting and decisive in killing, he turned out to be so gentle and approachable, as elegant as jade, and different from the men in Danta. The warriors in Danta were true heroes, but most of them
It was impossible for him to be rough and generous. What's more, his sword was about to kill him, but he could still show such a smile to her. After thinking about it, she realized that this man was full of thoughts, and she quickly came back to her senses.
"My father Khan told me when he left Ulantu that if he dies in this battle, Danda will be in chaos, and the Western Region will be completely ruled by Dacheng. He said that if I want to protect myself, I can only retreat with attack.
."
Xiao Yizheng thought about her words and nodded slightly to indicate her to continue.
"I have been thinking about it for the past two days, and what I hope is that the internal strife in the six tribes of Danta will continue. After all, my father Khan has a high prestige in Danta. If you hold his body, it will be of no use to you. On the contrary, it will arouse the people of Danta.
Fighting spirit. If...you allow me to go back with Father Khan's body, I promise that the Zhenghong Department will remember this sentiment."
Xiao Yizheng laughed heartily: "It turns out that what the princess wants is her own freedom." Suddenly, he stopped laughing and said sternly: "Do you think Dacheng will be afraid of your fighting spirit? Do you think your Danda can stir up any disturbance?
?" He could feel Chikina clenching her teeth, and her eyes were shining with a very complicated look. "Although your father Khan is my enemy in Dacheng, he is still a hero. His body will be buried with high standards in Dacheng, so you don't need to worry.
."
Chikina's eyes paused and softened a bit.
"If the princess doesn't have a better reason to persuade you, please go back to the prisoner of war camp."
"If you let me go back, Danda will have more fighting power, which will only make the chaos worse. Wouldn't this be better for you?" she said anxiously.
Xiao Yizheng's eyes focused: "Why do you think that our great success will be happy to see the civil strife in your pill? And why do you think that I will let you go for such a trivial reason?"
Kikina was stunned. Isn’t it?
"Danda and Dachen can coexist peacefully and jointly maintain the peace of the countries in the Western Region. Why do they have to be tit-for-tat? To be honest, I hope that there will be peace and no war within Danda."
Chikina was stunned and found his remarks incredible.
Xiao Yizheng smiled slightly: "So, if the princess has this intention, how can I take the risk and let you go back to regroup?"
"Danda is no longer able to fight with Dacheng. I just want to welcome my father Khan back to Ulantu for burial. My father Khan was a hero for a lifetime. I, Danda, cannot be left alone. We must return to the embrace of Changshengtian. I need to go back and help me stay."
You can rest assured that Ulantu’s brother has saved his life. As you said, it is already difficult for us to protect ourselves, and there will not be any force to shake Dacheng’s interests. If you don’t believe it, I can write a covenant with you today.
I am willing to do business with Dacheng forever."
"In what capacity do you make this promise to me? The princess seems to have no such power?" Xiao Yizheng's tone was still unhurried.
"You can send heavy troops to go back to Ulan Tu with me. I will ask my brother to sign a letter of credence with you. Even if he can do it in the future,
We will stabilize the six parts of Danda and not change this commitment. We are willing to swear to the Immortal Heaven."
"Send heavy troops?" Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly: "Aren't you afraid that I, the king, will take the opportunity to defeat Ulan Tu?"
Chikina replied neatly: "Even so, it doesn't matter. I just want to send my father Khan back."
Xiao Yizheng looked at her straightly. He saw the unyielding stubbornness and desperate determination on the face of a seventeen-year-old girl. "You are very filial." He stood up, walked to her, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the princess is still here."
What bargaining chips are there?”
Seeing him approaching, Chikina's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated. She clenched her fists, not knowing what else to say.
Any other chips?
Suddenly, hope suddenly appeared in her eyes. She raised her voice and said, "I have the antidote to the Seven Kills."
Xiao Yizheng was shocked, but he didn't expect her to say this. Whether it was the palace doctor, Mr. Bai, or Xie Zhi who was proficient in northwest medicinal materials, they all said that there is no immediate antidote for the seven-kill poison, and it can only be dispelled slowly.
To this day, there is still poison left in his body, but his face remains calm, "This is not a good bargaining chip. I, Dacheng, can also detoxify this poison."
"I'm talking about the kind that can detoxify immediately. I don't believe that your poison can be detoxified immediately. Besides, the seven-kill poison is a poison unique to the Western Region. As far as I know, everyone who is poisoned will die immediately.
"Although I don't know why you were able to survive the poisonous attack and return to Beisu, not everyone has this luck. I will give you the antidote."
"Although I don't think the antidote will be of much use to me at this moment. But I'm still curious, how did you get the formula for the antidote?"
"Because I've been hit seven times!"
Xiao Yizheng twisted his eyebrows, and his mind quickly flashed through what Hu Le had said. He said that he was the second person who could withstand the seven-kill poison. So, the first one was Chikina?
"I was assassinated while hunting in the wild and was poisoned by the seven-kill poison. At that time, my father Khan threw me into the thousand-year ice to suppress the poison. You have also been poisoned by this poison. You should know how long it takes for the poison to occur.
Pain, and my pain is even more painful, and I have to resist the biting coldness."
Zhao Xin on the side took a deep breath when he heard this. He, a tough-minded man like him, felt goosebumps suddenly appear on his skin. It was cruel to think about it.
Xiao Yizheng's face also froze. He had experienced the pain caused by Qishao poison, and he was still protected by Qing Ning Pills, so he still felt unbearable pain. And for a girl like her, what she endured was even more unbearable.
He saw that Chikina's pure color had turned white, but he couldn't bear to let her recall such past events. "How can you have the antidote?" he asked in a low voice.
After entering the house, Chikina had kept her head raised, but now she lowered her head and said in a soft voice: "Test poison with yourself. In order to save me, my father Khan kept trying various medicines, some of which were poisons, and used poison to fight poison."
I went in and out of the ice, and eventually I got used to it." Her voice became softer and softer, and she even choked on it.
Xiao Yizheng also felt a little short of breath and sighed pitifully.
This sigh fell in Chikiner's ears, filling her heart with an inexplicable warmth. She raised her head again and said, "Anyway, I have tried out the formula for this antidote."
Xin Zhao couldn't help but said: "How dare other people take it? It might also be highly poisonous." He looked at Chikina with a strange look in his eyes and thought, "Is it rare that your body is full of poison?"
Kikina glanced at him sideways, with a sharp look. She could catch the inquiry in his eyes. She hated this look very much, and it was precisely because she didn't want others to look at her like this. Everyone in Ulantu knew about this.
Very rarely. Hule also ordered anyone who revealed this matter to be killed. It can be said that this is her biggest secret. Now in order to let her father Khan return to Ulan Tu, she has nothing to sacrifice.
"The seven-kill poison is very toxic. Even if the antidote is poison, it will melt it, so what harm will happen? Besides, it's good if it can save your life." She glared at Xin Zhao angrily, and then turned her eyes.
Look at Xiao Yizheng.
She wanted to know what Xiao Yizheng would think of her and whether he would also regard him as a monster.
Xiao Yizheng's face showed unabashed sympathy and compassion.
She was in a trance. This was both the expression she wanted to see and the emotion she didn't want to see.
When she choked, Xin Zhao immediately replied: "Since you have gone through this yourself, you still want to use this to poison our Highness. It is really abominable."
hear this
Kikina felt chilled by the sentence, but she said with a smile on her face, "You and I were enemies back then, and I don't think anything was wrong."
Zhao Xin wanted to refute, but Xiao Yizheng raised his hand to stop him.
His expression did not change, at least it seemed to Chikina that he did not intend to use this incident to humiliate and retaliate against himself.
"The princess said a lot today. Let's go back to the prisoner of war camp first."
What does this mean? Chikina is not sure. She came here with a last-ditch mentality and cannot go back without knowing anything. She said anxiously: "Don't you believe what I said? I didn't lie to you!"
In order to prove that what she said today was true, she pulled open her collar without thinking, exposing a piece of skin on her right shoulder. However, her skin was not the snow-white color of a girl, but green with purple.
"This is what happened when I stayed in the ice for a long time, and my whole body looked like this. You can trust me!"
Xiao Yizheng and Zhao Xin never thought that she would be like this, and they didn't have time to stop her. At this moment, they could stop her, but it was hard to do anything.
Especially when Xiao Yizheng was very close to her, she immediately wanted to take a step back.
But at this moment, the curtain of the meeting hall was opened, and Qingxi walked in with a smile on his face.
She had just taken half a step forward when she saw this scene.
Xiao Yizheng stood so close to a disheveled woman. Not only was her clothes disheveled, she was clearly "topless".
Her steps stopped, her smile froze, she quickly stepped back from the half-step she had taken, and the door curtain was lowered again.
"Your Highness!" Xin Zhao called sadly.
Xiao Yizheng closed his eyes and his face was earth-colored.
