I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 224

Lin Qingyang was startled, and instinctively looked at Chu Lishu. Chu Lishu knocked Lin Qingyang's head, "Soak well, don't come out."

After Chu Lishu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out from behind the screen, facing Ning Ziheng directly.

"Where is Lin Qingyang?" Ning Ziheng asked with a sullen face. In fact, he already felt that he had been cheated in his heart. After thinking about it, he understood what secrets these people could know about Qi Ci, but he always yearned for a possibility in his heart. Sex, willing to be deceived, but he is not easy to provoke, Lin Qingyang was not an opponent who had to die with him, but if Lin Qingyang really dared to tease him with Qi Ci, he would definitely take Lin Qingyang at all costs. Qing Yang's life.

"My cousin is taking a medicinal bath in it because of the cold. I have heard of his promise. Don't worry, I know what my cousin knows. I will tell you." Chu Lishu walked slowly to the table and sat down. , poured a cup of tea on his own.

Seeing this, Ning Ziheng could only sit down patiently.

Chu Lishu looked at the teacup as if lost in memory, and then said: "When General Qi followed the former crown prince on his expedition, he once begged for a favor from the former crown prince."

Ning Ziheng was taken aback.

"After repelling the Tianheng Kingdom, I am willing to exchange all my military exploits for the chance of saving one person from death."

Ning Ziheng trembled all over, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Chu Lishu slowly raised his head and looked at Ning Ziheng, "He said that there was a person who did a lot of unscrupulous things in order to survive in the palace, to avoid being wronged, and to protect the people he cared about, and sooner or later he would be revealed , and the former crown prince will naturally deal with it fairly and let that person be decapitated. In order to save that person's life, he can sacrifice everything. Change."

Ning Ziheng began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes gradually widened and turned red, his fists were clenched, and he looked at Chu Lishu fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about? You speak as if you saw it with your own eyes, and you made up lies. A little like."

"Is it a lie? We don't know General Qi, and we don't know if he would say such a thing. Only you can judge the truth." Chu Lishu said, narrowing his eyes slightly, examining the expression on Ning Ziheng's face Seeing him gradually sinking into pain, he retracted his gaze.

But after a while Ning Ziheng reacted, and suddenly became violent, "Unless you are someone close to Yuan Ran, unless you were also in the team back then, otherwise..."

Lin Qingyang's heart was about to jump out when he was listening inside. He had an intuition that what Chu Lishu said was true, but wouldn't this be easily exposed?You can make up some other lies, and then use Yuechen and Huo Luo's acquaintance with Qi Ci to help make up the lie, which is also a method you can try.

Lin Qingyang was in a hurry when he suddenly heard the sound of tables and chairs being overturned outside, and Lin Qingyang was about to get up from the water in shock.

Then I heard Chu Lishu's voice, "Continue soaking."

Lin Qingyang froze. Hearing Chu Lishu's tone of voice, he probably...is fine.

Outside, Ning Ziheng had already grabbed Chu Lishu's neck.

"Say, who are you and what are you going to do? Is Yuan Ran still alive? Did Yuan Ran tell you what you said, or was it Qi..."

Chu Lishu sneered, "Boss Ning, have you forgotten that there were a group of deserters on Wuxin Mountain in the past, we stayed there for a long time at the beginning, and it's not surprising to hear some things that shouldn't be heard Bar."

Ning Ziheng's expression changed several times, "Oh, why did they tell you this?"

"I mentioned it unintentionally, maybe because I thought we would not leave alive, so it didn't matter whether we leaked or not. Director Ning should not dream all day long. After so many years, if General Qi is not dead, it will not be long. Have you come back? Whether it is the former crown prince or General Qi, whoever is alive will come back, and if they don't come back, they will all be dead." Chu Lishu began to sneer as he spoke, as if using words as a sharp weapon to stab Ning Ziheng heart.

Sometimes in the face of such a person, beating him violently, stabbing him to death is not considered successful revenge, and it is only useful to find his seven inches.

"However, we really can't judge whether what those deserters said is true or not. You can only judge for yourself. We felt it was a pity when we heard these rumors. If General Qi is still alive, with his military achievements, he will definitely be able to realize his wish. Mr. Ning, who do you think he wants to protect with all his might? If that person doesn’t do evil and cause trouble, then General Qi doesn’t have to go to the battlefield as hard as he can, trying to win all the opportunities to make meritorious deeds.”

Hearing this, Ning Ziheng's hands had lost all strength, the blood on his face gradually receded, his eyes were straight, but unfocused, as if he was suffering some kind of mental attack.

"It is said that... at the beginning, the Crown Prince only suggested it, because General Qi could continue to return to Beijing. After all, in the original plan of the Crown Prince, it was not difficult to win that battle. Having General Qi was just more reassuring, but Qi The general asked for it to be returned."

Chu Lishu looked deeply at Ning Ziheng, watched him let go of his hand tremblingly, and stepped back step by step.

"Among them, being loyal to the Lord, expelling the enemy, protecting the people, and... striving for more military exploits, which one do you think is the most important? Does the person who killed him include the person he wanted to protect?"

"No... No... No one has ever asked him to do this, no..." Ning Ziheng's voice tightened, shaking his head helplessly.

With a bang, Ning Ziheng directly bumped into the chair behind him, and he staggered in embarrassment.

"Boss Ning is okay." Chu Lishu pretended to smile.

Ning Ziheng raised his head, he didn't dare to face the eyes of others, he touched the leather strap on his wrist reflexively, and finally fled in despair.

Lin Qingyang shouted quickly when he heard the door open.

Only then did Chu Lishu come back, "It's all right."

Lin Qingyang was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "If these are true, then General Qi is really... very filial and responsible, it's a pity to meet such an adoptive father. But if he really Thinking about it this way, why didn't you stop Director Ning from doing those evil things, was it because he was too young, or..."

"Firstly, he is young, and secondly, Ning Ziheng regards himself as a father, so how can he listen to his son? What he wants to do is also hidden from Qi Ci. He is a split person. He is used to the darkness, but he doesn't like it. Qi Ci was tainted with darkness. So when Qi Ci had any signs of wanting to stop him, he sent Qi Ci out."

"Sent to His Royal Highness?" Lin Qingyang asked.I heard from Huo Luo that Qi Ci stayed with Yuan Ran when he was a teenager. At that time, he was equivalent to Yuan Ran's accompaniment status. .

Chu Lishu nodded with a smile. He liked that every time Lin Qingyang mentioned himself in the past, he didn't call him the first prince. The words 'His Royal Highness' always made Chu Li feel uncomfortable when he said them. The book feels very moving.but……

"You're not curious, why would I know? It can't be that the bandits really told me." Chu Lishu had a smile in his eyes, which seemed to be probing and chatting unintentionally.

Lin Qingyang looked up at Chu Lishu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think... If you want me to know, you will definitely tell me."

Chu Lishu smiled lightly, reached out to pat Lin Qingyang's head, and said, "It's not that I don't believe you if I don't say it now, but...it's not the time. I will tell you in the future, and tell you everything."

It's not the right time. My identity cannot be revealed. Those who know their identity have already made up their minds. Once they are arrested and interrogated, they will not reveal his identity with the idea of ​​death. Chu Lishu naturally believes that Lin Qing Yang would not have betrayed him if he knew, but how could he be willing to put Lin Qingyang in such a situation, with the idea of ​​self-silencing, the safest way to avoid any torture method is to really not know.

He admitted that his thinking was too extreme, but on Lin Qingyang's issue, he couldn't tolerate any mistakes, and he could only feel at ease if he was extremely careful.

Lin Qingyang smiled indifferently, he will not be entangled in this aspect, and he will not be so serious as to believe it or not. He has hidden more secrets, and he is willing to wait for the day when the two of them are completely honest. He was very relieved, so he discussed the relationship between Qi Ci and Ning Ziheng again.

Hearing that Lin Qingyang felt sorry for Qi Ci, Chu Lishu smiled helplessly and said, "Qi Ci is not as beautiful as you think."

"How to say?" Lin Qingyang had a crush on someone just now, and he couldn't help but question him because he didn't want to lose.

"It was just to stimulate Ning Ziheng to mention the information that can touch his conscience. In fact, the grace Qi Ci wants is more than that."

"Is there anything else?" Lin Qingyang asked curiously.

"And let Ning Ziheng regain his freedom and allow him to leave the palace."

"This is... a good thing." Lin Qingyang was puzzled.

Chu Lishu's faint eyes gradually focused on Lin Qingyang's wet eyes made by the water vapor.

"If he can return from that war smoothly, he can be promoted several levels in a row, and his official position can completely suppress the status of the chief eunuch who is trusted by the queen mother. To regain freedom, leaving the palace is not a choice but a coercion. What he wants is not just Ning Ziheng. Losing the ability to harm others also wants to completely cut off his official power, and then take Ning Ziheng by his side forever and guard him personally. This is the whole proposal of exchanging merit for crime."

Lin Qingyang was dumbfounded, and somehow felt that the water under his body was a little cold, but after thinking about it, he still wondered: "This...is a good thing, according to what you say, Ning Ziheng is so dangerous, since he can't stop it, Rescue the curve, thinking about being restrained, it seems... quite reasonable."

Although it always feels weird, but it seems to be a good thing to 'remove harm for the people'. Qi Ci can't do righteousness and kill relatives. This way fulfills his filial piety and protects his conscience. It is an appropriate way... ?

Chu Lishu looked at Lin Qingyang's thoughtful and tangled expression, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He just felt weird at first, but now he understands what Qi Ci is thinking. more ruthless.

It's a pity that he really planned to fulfill his subordinate's wish back then.There's nothing wrong with "removing harm for the people" in this way, as long as his subordinates are willing.

……

Tong Tongguan border city, a mighty team entered the city to exchange documents.All the guards around looked at them with hatred in their eyes.

The people in the city also stared at them, but the officials flattered them and directly invited them to stay in the mansion for one night.

But when the team settled down, the officials didn't see the true face of the saint, so they could only leave regretfully.

Inside the house, the saint who had been wearing a gauze cap slowly removed her gauze cap, revealing a face that was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. If the official saw it, she might have to cover her heart on the spot.

However, the two men in the same room seemed to be unable to see this beautiful woman. One of them stood aside like a stone sculpture, and the other found a place to lie down carelessly, took out the jug and drank casually, He was still humming a ditty, holding the book of words that he had just bought in the city, and looked at it with great interest.

The saint glanced at the lying man, then turned her gaze to the man standing in the corner, "Ah Wu, do you remember anything?"

The man named Ah Wu shook his head slowly, his eyes were empty, as if he was not thinking about anything, and he didn't care. There was a long scar on his supposedly handsome face, which ran from the bridge of his nose down to his lips. The horn was scratched to the side of the neck and stopped at the collarbone. The wound was very deep and could not be repaired at all. It made the expressionless face look intimidating. Coupled with his already tall figure, he could ride On the horse, I frightened and cried several children along the way.

The saint sighed and said, "It's okay, the memory will come back sooner or later."

"Hehe, the saint is really kind. A little slave is still in charge of the matter from beginning to end. Have you ever thought that he can fight so well? What if he is a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty? If you help, you won't be afraid of getting into trouble." ?"

As soon as the lying man opened his mouth, Ah Wu's whole body tensed instinctively. Seeing this, the saint stood in front of Ah Wu, and first asked Ah Wu to go out to guard, and then couldn't help calling out to the lying man: "Ah Wu West……"

"Don't call me that." Gosho Nishi frowned.

"Okay, my lord, you said that you would go on a mission with me, and I agreed, and the condition is to give me A Wu, so now he is under my control, and you can't interfere." The saint's voice was gentle, but her eyes were very firm.

Yusuoxi raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want, but he has passed through the ten levels of my Colosseum, and his humanity has long been worn out. Be careful that he suddenly bites you back. If you want to run, you are caught." Can't live."

"If he wants to run away, it proves that he has something he wants to do. Naturally, I am willing to fulfill it. The fate of meeting is destined for me to save him, and it is also destined for me to reduce the number of murders for you."

Gosho Nishi turned over impatiently, obviously too lazy to talk again.

The saint smiled gently, "I went with the expectation of peace. Now, can the prince tell me why, as the regent, he doesn't even care about the government affairs of the court, so he deliberately concealed his identity and went with me?"

Yusuoxi suddenly became interested again and said: "After Yuan Ran died, life was too boring. I found that there might be a few more interesting people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I plan to dig to see if there is anyone to play with me. In addition There is also an old acquaintance over there, I don't know how that person is doing, I plan to talk about the old days, and see if there is anything that needs my help, after all, I am a kind person who is willing to help others."

The saint's complexion changed slightly, and the word "help" from the mouth of the imperial palace was definitely bloody, and she was helping out of fear that the world would not be chaotic.

"Don't...make trouble." The saint could only speak helplessly, knowing that she was powerless to stop it.

"Don't worry, we won't let our country's saintesses die in Dazhou." Yusuo Xi smiled with unknown meaning.

The saint's face was ugly, obviously her life was nothing to Gosho Nishi.

Immediately, I heard Gosho Nishi complaining in a low voice, "Ah, it's so boring, it's all your fault, I'm leaving my most satisfied pet now, maybe Nurture Nurture can pass thirteen levels like my cutest little pet, This can also make up for my lonely heart."

The saint couldn't help but feel nauseous when she heard such words. When she first saw Ah Wu, he was about to die in the crocodile pond. There was no part of his body intact, just a blood-stained body, the crocodile's meal.

The saint took a deep breath, "Axi..."

Gosho Nishi slowly raised his eyelids, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold, "My lord, if you make another mistake, I will invite you to visit my king's Colosseum. I don't know how long my lord can survive." ?”

The saintess' face turned pale after a few strokes, and she finally retreated in frustration.

……

On the other side, in the palace, Chu Lishu finally found a free imperial physician to show Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang said that he was fine, but Chu Lishu was worried, but after the diagnosis of the imperial physician, he was indeed fine.

Chu Lishu went out for a trip and also learned about Xu Guiren's situation.

Now Xu Guiren has become Concubine Xu. Not only did he save his life, but he even saved his child. It can be called a miracle. Everyone said that this child has a great fortune and destiny, so he must be a blessed person.The emperor was even more happy to be by Xu Bin's side all the time.

"Did you give Mu Huichun's life-saving medicine to her?" Chu Lishu asked.

Lin Qingyang nodded guiltily, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Did the emperor not investigate this matter?"

"The emperor asked, and Xu Bin said that she just found plum blossoms blooming just right when she was walking, and she wanted to collect some, so she asked the personal maid to go back to get the tools, but she accidentally fell into the water accidentally, she said in detail, and she was almost in trouble after waking up. The emperor thought it was an accident when the emperor's heir apologized to the emperor, except for rewarding Director Ning and a brief interrogation of the maids, the matter was taken care of."

The corner of Lin Qingyang's mouth twitched, this sister is really silly and sweet.

"It seems that you don't think it was an accident?" Chu Lishu raised his eyebrows.

"I don't think it's such a coincidence. In fact, I followed..." Lin Qingyang talked about the previous situation.

Chu Lishu nodded and said: "Even without what you saw, when I heard that Concubine Xu was pregnant, I guessed it..."

The two were talking, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door, Chu Lishu went to open the door and found that it was Xu Wenze who came in.

As soon as Xu Wenze came in, he asked, "Where's Qing Yang?"

Chu Lishu asked people to come in, and Xu Wenze immediately came to Lin Qingyang, heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to kneel down on the spot, but fortunately, Lin Qingyang blocked it with his sharp eyes and hands.

"do not!"

"I heard from my eldest sister that you saved her and the children, and you are their savior." Xu Wenze's eyes were red, and he said seriously: "Although this matter has to be kept secret for your reputation, but you Our Duke Wei's mansion has a great favor, and we will always remember it."

Lin Qingyang was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's good that it's okay, just do what's right, who told me to be a good person, but in the end I have to say that Manager Ning saved people. Otherwise, I really don't know if I can hold on to those people. "In fact, the fact that the system didn't remind him means that he must be able to protect himself, but Xu Bin is enough.

Xu Wenze nodded, said a few more words of thanks, and finally said, "Eldest sister...was killed by someone, right?"

Xu Wenze was not stupid, he could see some problems from the clues, although his sister said it was an accident, but he didn't believe it, how could it be such a coincidence that the accident occurred before the emperor was notified of her pregnancy?

Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu, and this time Chu Lishu chose to speak directly: "It should be Concubine Mei's hand. Cousin saw Concubine Mei's personal maid disappearing strangely near the garden, but we can't prove it for you. , you should understand that you can't do anything except be careful in the future."

Xu Wenze didn't seem to be surprised by this answer, but his expression was painful for a moment, and then he gradually fell silent, "Eldest sister just wants to live in peace and stability, why..."

"Who knows, maybe they are suspicious, maybe it's what you did that made them suspicious. Anyway, that's the truth." Chu Lishu said slowly.

Lin Qingyang chose to remain silent this time. It was impossible for him to destroy Chu Lishu's plan. This was Chu Lishu's most gentle approach. He had to split the Li-Xu alliance.

Xu Wenze was silent for a long time, and finally got up and said: "I see, this matter has nothing to do with you, I will not care about the fourth prince's affairs for the time being, I will protect the eldest sister, and wait for her to give birth smoothly, if one day we really Against the Fourth Prince and the others, I don't want to be your enemy either."

"We will keep our mouths shut on this matter, just pretend that the conversation just now didn't happen." Chu Lishu said seriously.

Xu Wenze thanked him before leaving.

Chu Lishu turned to look at Lin Qingyang, and said, "Prime Minister Li and Wei Guogong will maintain a superficial harmony for the time being, but they will probably fight in the future, and they will probably need to keep a distance from Xu Wenze for a while."

Lin Qingyang nodded and said, "I know."

Chu Lishu thought that Lin Qingyang would feel awkward, but seeing him still obedient, Chu Lishu really felt relieved.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Li and Duke Wei acted as if nothing had happened, and Concubine Xu's falling into the water was just an accident, and they still had a deep love for Concubine Mei, but Concubine Xu was surrounded by tight defenses. Impossible.

Time flies, and there are still three days before the Longevity Festival, and envoys from various countries arrive one after another. They just happened to be outside the palace on this day, and Yuechen came to see them excitedly to watch the Tianheng Kingdom's team enter the city. Yuechen couldn't wait.
