Chapter 344: This quid pro quo
He Linwan seemed to smile: "I don't know what Lord Xue has to do this time?"
Xue Xingyi ignored He Linwan's sarcasm, his face was as cold and detached as ever, he raised his hand and made a gesture of please, "The courtyard has been arranged, Miss He, please come with me." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Xue Xingyi walked forward first, and He Linwan didn't want to have any argument with Xue Xingyi at the door, so he followed him in silence.
He Guanglie originally wanted to send He Linwan over, but because Wei did not agree, He Linwan ran out secretly, so she only brought Chunxiao with a big burden by her side.
Xue Xingyi walked in front without looking back, and He Linwan looked at Yun Zeyuan as he walked. It wasn't the first time she had been here, but it was the first time she had seen such a deserted Yunze Garden.
In the past, as the courtyard of the Five Princes, it was naturally indispensable for guards and attendants, but now that he has walked down this way, He Linwan actually didn't see half a figure. However, there seemed to be people living in the courtyards that he passed by on the way, and He Lin could hear some sounds in the courtyard at night, but the courtyard gate was closed, and no one came out.
Xue Xingyi led He Linwan to an elegant and tidy, but somewhat remote courtyard, and said in an undulating voice: "You live here." ”
He Linwan stood in the courtyard and glanced at it casually, this courtyard was not big, there were only six rooms in total, but she didn't care about these.
Xue Xingyi moved his gaze to Chunxiao: "Your maid ......"
Chunxiao hurriedly hid behind He Linwan, only poked out his head, and said in a resolute tone: "I want to take care of my girl!"
He Linwan said lightly: "There are several rooms in this courtyard, she can just choose one to live in." We don't have contact with people outside, and we can't hurt you. ”
Xue Xingyi glanced at her, "Whatever you want." ”
He Linwan entered the main hall and found that the furniture inside was very elegant and fine, the bedding and so on seemed to be newly replaced, and there was a pot of peony that was being opened on the desk by the window, which unexpectedly made He Linwan feel comfortable.
Xue Xingyi saw He Linwan looking down at the pot of peony, and said lightly: "If you don't like it, you can change it to something else." Someone comes to clean up every day, and you can ask if you need anything. ”
He Linwan nodded casually: "Thank you, I don't have anything to dislike about, it's just a temporary place to stay." ”
Saying that, He Linwan looked at Xue Xingyi and smiled slightly, with a cold smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, there is no need to foreshadow, there is no point." ”
Xue Xingyi thought for a while and said, "I don't know what Miss He thinks about this epidemic?"
He Linwan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You ask so...... Isn't this epidemic simple?"
Xue Xingyi sighed slightly: "I doubt it...... This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. ”
He Linwan was shocked when he heard this, "Oh? Lord Xue has a basis?"
Xue Xingyi pondered for a moment, but then started to say something else, "Do you know what Chen Hong used to exchange his life with me that day?"
He Linwan smiled coldly, "If I knew, Chen Hong would not have left Donglin alive." ”
Xue Xingyi didn't seem to be able to hear He Linwan's ridicule, and said to himself: "The remnants of the previous dynasty plan to use the entire Donglin to worship the Zhao royal family, and this time it is their so-called plan to destroy the city. ”
"What?" Even He Linwan, who had always been moody, couldn't help but show a look of disbelief when he heard Xue Xingyi's words.
"When His Majesty learned of this, he gave Chen Hong a secret decree to stop it. There are some things in His Majesty's decree that only Chen Hong knows, so Chen Hong can't die yet. ”
He Linwan was stunned for a while before he suddenly came back to his senses, "So, Chen Hong has not left Donglin at all now, but is hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity?"
Xue Xingyi didn't speak, so he acquiesced.
He Linwan carefully digested what Xue Xingyi said, and quickly regained his composure.
"Why are you telling me all this, and what does it have to do with me?"
Xue Xingyi looked at He Linwan and said directly: "Because there is one thing that requires your cooperation." ”
"Tell me what? He Linwan was noncommittal.
"I need you to cooperate with Lord He to act in a scene. Xue Xingyi said lightly.
He Linwan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, "What do you mean?"
"It's just that you need to release the news that you're sick when the time comes. Xue Xingyi's voice was not in a hurry.
He Linwan smiled coldly, "What kind of idea are you fighting again?"
"It doesn't matter what I fight, my purpose is to save people. ”
He Linwan was unmoved: "If you want to save people, just save you, what do you have to do with me? Why should I cooperate with you." ”
Xue Xingyi was silent for a moment and looked at He Linwan: "Old rules, you can make a request." ”
"What if I want Chen Hong's life?" He Linwan smiled.
Xue Xingyi said without hesitation: "When this matter is over, he will let you deal with it." ”
Xue Xingyi said this arrogantly, but He Linwan didn't think so, she smiled faintly and said: "But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not cost-effective to exchange the lives of the entire Donglin people for him, so I still don't want it." ”
"What do you want?" asked Xue Xingyi.
He Linwan smiled, looked at Xue Xingyi and said word by word: "I want Jimo Camp." ”
Facing He Linwan's lion's big mouth, Xue Xingyi's entire brow furrowed.
He Linwan sat on the chair in a relaxed posture, looked at Xue Xingyi, and said jokingly: "Lord Xue, don't say that I used a real Donglin to negotiate with you on the conditions of despicable and cold-blooded, you know that I am such a person." Not to mention that I want Jimo Camp to find you instead of the Five Princes, it's too insincere. As far as I know, the Jimo camp has recently undergone a major blood change in a short period of time, if you tell me that you didn't do anything, I won't believe it, I'm not the fifth prince. ”
"Did you ask for him?" Xue Xingyi asked expressionlessly.
He Lin said lately: "This is my business. You just have to answer yes or no. ”
Seeing that Xue Xingyi didn't speak, the corners of He Linwan's mouth hooked slightly, "Why? Lord Xue, who has always loved the people like a son, has a heart that the lives of the people in the city are not as good as the strength of a battalion? ”
"Good. Xue Xingyi finally replied lightly.
When He Lin saw that the agreement had been reached, he didn't say more, "Since the matter has been negotiated, Lord Xue, please go back, and I will cooperate when the time comes." ”
Xue Xingyi calmly took his eyes off He Linwan, turned around and walked out, "The courtyard gate will be locked, although it may not be of much use to you, but please don't leave the courtyard unless necessary." ”
After Xue Xingyi left the courtyard, the polite smile on He Linwan's face gradually retracted, and finally turned into a solemn face. (To be continued.) )
