Chapter 70
"I know." Pei Chuan closed his eyes, feeling helpless, he didn't know what to say.

It was still raining outside, but the patter was not too heavy. The remaining tiles were dripping with water, which outlined a dilapidated but extravagant look.

"Have you found the Liu family's chess record?" Mixed with the lingering sound of rain, Jiang Huaiqi poured a cup of tea.

Pei Chuan shook his head, and said, "That old guy's mouth is too hard to pry it open."

"After so many years, you still haven't made any progress." Jiang Huaiqi satirized Pei Chuan unceremoniously, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was about to overflow.

"I'll take care of this as soon as possible."

"No need, after you deal with it, another hundred years will have passed."

Pei Chuan lowered his head in embarrassment, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Jiang Huaiqi took out a list of Liu's questionnaires from the table, pointed to a name at random, and directly questioned the guilt and conviction, "Give him a cannonball, remember to let Liu Yiheng witness the whole process."

Pei Chuan nodded, and immediately asked people to start arranging the matter.

After he left, Tao Zhi came to Jiang Huaiqi mainly for two things.

Seeing Jiang Huaiqi in the main hall, Tao Zhi was still instinctively frightened, especially when he was feeding himself blood in the evening.

That scene seems to be engraved in Tao Zhi's blood, and every time he thinks about it, he feels more embarrassment.

The surrounding servants were all dispersed, and there were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Tao Zhi looked at Jiang Huaiqi secretly, and found that Jiang Huaiqi was in a good mood, so he mustered up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, Tao Zhi has a heartfelt request."

After finishing speaking, she pinched herself severely, thinking about the saddest thing in her life, and squeezed out two tears.

Jiang Huaiqi took out the folding fan he hadn't used for a long time, the weather was getting colder, but it didn't affect him to fan the wind.He raised his head and glanced at Tao Zhi, "Is there only one?"

Tao Zhi took a deep breath, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Two."

Jiang Huai said: "Say."

Tao Zhi unexpectedly felt that Jiang Huai was easy to talk and became more courageous. She said directly: "I want your heart and soul."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Huaiqi vetoed: "No, next."

The accident came too fast like a tornado, and Tao Zhi shrank his courage just now, just like a concrete pavement in summer, interpreting the expansion of heat and contraction of cold to the extreme.

Undeterred, Tao Zhi continued: "Your Majesty, I think humans and demon spirits are at war with each other, and there is an urgent need for an opportunity to ease it."

Jianghuai refused to enter oil and salt, and vetoed it in one sentence: "There is no need for that."

Eagerness appeared in Tao Zhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but take a small step closer to Jianghuai: "When is the time for retribution, if you want to resolve the current conflict, the best way is for both sides to take a step back."

Inadvertently pulling into the distance between the two, Tao Zhi looked up and saw Jiang Huaiqi, her heart beat faster, she wanted to back up, but Jiang Huaiqi grabbed her arm.

"What if I don't retreat?"

The rhetorical question did not dilute the distance between the two, the tension followed like a shadow, and Tao Zhi's brain fell into a short-circuit state.

Facing Jiang Huaiqi who is not allowed to enter, she has nothing to do.

But the tens of thousands of demon spirits in the capital are still waiting for her. For them and to go home, she must get Jiang Huaiqi's help.

"Your Majesty." Tao Zhi knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Jiang Huai, "Tao Zhi please."

She hated the red tape of the feudal society, but she had to blend in. She raised her head stubbornly to see Jiang Huaiqi's ruthlessness in her eyes, and she obviously felt her heartbeat speeding up again.

Jiang Huai raised his eyes and sank slightly, a storm was brewing from an angle that Tao Zhi couldn't see.

The voice from the bottom of his heart seemed to be breaking out of his shell. He carefully looked at Tao Zhi in front of him, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Jiang Huai said: "When you ask for help, you must have a begging attitude, not just talking about it."

Tao Zhi drooped his eyelids, hesitated for a moment, and said, "As long as it's not too much, I can promise you anything."

Jiang Huaiqi snorted softly, "Heh, you make the second request first, I'll weigh it."

Tao Zhi looked at Jiang Huaiqi seriously, he didn't seem to be joking.

The second request was even worse than the first.

Jiang Huai looked at Tao Zhi intently, as if he had already guessed what she was going to say, but he just waited for Tao Zhi to say it himself.

The rain weakened, and the wind slipped away quietly, as if the world was waiting for Tao Zhi to speak.

"If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Jiang Huaiqi sincerely teased Tao Zhi, he was about to issue an order to evict the guest, but he heard Tao Zhi speak in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, can you let Liu Ruoyan go?"

Jiang Huai looked at the distressed Tao Zhi together, and couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.The folding fan in his hand pulled out a flower, and when the fan was opened, Tao Zhi could clearly see the inscription on it.

[Whimsical. 】

The four big characters were facing Tao Zhi, as if slapping his face, Tao Zhi became more and more ashamed, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself.
Her face and ears were red, and Tao Zhi felt the sweat on her back wet her underwear, and a gust of wind blew by, she shivered, and her kneeling body was staggered to this side.

Jiang Huaiqi: "Haha...Tao Zhi, you are really interesting."

This doesn't sound like a compliment at all, Tao Zhi lowered his head, "I know this is too much."

Jiang Huaiqi hardly gave her a chance to defend herself, and directly said sarcastically: "You know it's too much to mention it."

Because, I want to go home...

Tao Zhi didn't dare to say the real answer, but she couldn't weave a fake reason, her little face was flushed, and her fingers were about to pull out the scar when they mingled together.

Tao Zhi always likes to pick her fingers when she is anxious, just like she used to get very flustered when she was unable to solve math problems in the college entrance examination.

But at this time Tao Zhi discovered that the anxiety in the face of Jianghuai is far better than the exam, and he will always release a strong aura. Bow down.

Jiang Huaiqi took her small actions into his eyes, grasped Tao Zhi's embarrassment, and proposed: "I can promise you these two conditions, but you have to be my concubine."

"Ah? What are you talking about? Prickly heat? Are you still getting prickly heat this day?"

Tao Zhi's empty ears successfully made Jiang Huaiqi feel embarrassed, he gritted his teeth and replaced the words: "Be my concubine."

Tao Zhi: "..." She clutched her chest subconsciously, and was about to say that she was a showman rather than a person, when she heard Jiang Huai's cold voice.

"Think it over, my patience is limited."

There was a backlog of strength in his chest, Jiang Huaiqi forcibly suppressed the discomfort, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, as if giving Tao Zhi the right to choose.

Tao Zhi was delighted with the first half of the sentence, but Tao Zhi froze in place like a lightning strike at the latter sentence.

"Are you serious?" He is a demon spirit, even in human form, but there is an essential species difference between her and Jiang Huaiqi.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Jiang Huaiqi's expression was extremely serious, and Tao Zhi carefully looked at his facial features, even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were not overlooked.

He just looked back at Tao Zhi quietly, without saying a word, but it showed that he was extremely serious.

"Do you like me?" Tao Zhi asked cautiously.

"I don't like it." Jiang Huaiqi responded quickly without any hesitation, as if the answer had been engraved in his mind, and he could bounce it out without going through a reflex arc.

"Then why do you want me to be your concubine?" Tao Zhi said that she didn't understand, she couldn't keep up with the tyrant's brain circuit.

"Because I want to imprison you, I haven't raised mosquitoes yet."

Tao Zhi: "..." This guy is definitely sick!
However, in the situation of extremely unequal power and status, Tao Zhi's living space is squeezed. She can say no, but she cannot exchange resources.

At this moment, Tao Zhi felt the powerlessness of an adult, and stared at Jiang Huaiqi helplessly.

The higher-ranking people don't feel the sadness of the lower-ranking people, Jiang Huaiqi just said indifferently: "I can give you half a day to think about it."

Su Jiaqi's life and death are uncertain.

Both Li Yun and Wang Meng were dying.

There are thousands of innocent demon spirits affected by the disaster.

And most importantly, the way home.

Tao Zhi is like a lone wolf wandering in the desert short of food and water. Jiang Huaiqi brings her the most needed water and food, but demands to be possessed and tamed.

Looking up at Jiang Huaiqi again, his big watery eyes were filled with unwillingness.

The eyes of the two were on the church in the air. Compared with Tao Zhi's resentment, Jiang Huaiqi was very indifferent.

The mountain of power crushed Tao Zhi's head, forcing her to submit.

Tao Zhi lowered his eyes, "No need, I promise you."

Because of the injury, she has been delayed a lot,
The demon spirits in the city were in great pain, and the task of returning home was imminent. Tao Zhi could only agree to Jiang Huaiqi after quickly weighing the interests in his brain.

A sense of powerlessness came to her heart, she felt like a leaf of duckweed floating in the sea, unable to control her own destiny at all.

Jiang Huaiqi retracted his gaze and picked up a roll of memorial: "Yes, you can go back and wait for the news."

Jiang Huai flicked four fingers, signaling Tao Zhi to go out first.

After Tao Zhi left, Jiang Huaiqi stood up abruptly.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, leopard prints appeared on his face, and the voice in his heart continued to shout.

"If you dare to touch her hair, I will die with you."

Chi Yuan sneered, "Jiang Huaiqi, what do you use to negotiate terms with me? Now this body is mine, and I can do whatever I want. You will become a soul that never sees the light of day. As for the one you love, it depends on you." For the sake of dedicating my body, I am willing to take care of it for you."

"Ah..." The heart-piercing cry, but only Chi Yuan could hear it, his limbs broke away from the control of the brain and began to go their own way, dancing an untimely dance in the spacious room.

Dechun stood outside and was about to come in to report, but saw His Majesty acting strangely, as if possessed by a ghost.

"You will hand over this memorial to Your Majesty later." Suppressing the anxiety and fear in his heart, Dechun handed the memorial to the little eunuch next to him, and then hurried to Qin Tianjian.

"Oh, I'll go, why is the water so deep!"

The water reached Dechun's knees. Obviously, the palace was organizing personnel to drain water, but it would not go down for a while.

I heard that there are floods in the north and drought in the south. This year is destined to be an uneasy year.

With water dripping down to his knees, Dechun went to Qin Tianjian with all his hardships, and there was no dry place on his body. When he saw Yu Feng, he ran over in a hurry.

"Guard, something has happened!"
