【Pen β™‚ fun Γ· book.】, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

There is no good feast.

Yan Li and Lian Hai Changjin were at a long table, and during the banquet, they only heard pushing cups and changing lamps, being polite to each other, and of course, singing praises for Ji Paper Kite, which is an old example.

Yan Li only talked to the two: "I was separated from Ye Qing, according to Li Rulong, he asked Ye Qing to come back to inform about the Fire Festival, and now the question is, who chose to assassinate Zhang Zhidong at this time, it doesn't make sense at all, isn't it?"

Ma Guanshan's face sank like water, and he shook his head: "You don't know, Rongcheng is not very peaceful, there are some people of unknown origin, lurking in the dark, specifically against the teacher, assassination, often happens." ”

Yan Li said: "Then isn't the problem very clear?Your teacher was assassinated, Ye Qing died to protect him, his loyalty and courage deserve praise, if your teacher is grateful enough, he will ask His Majesty for a commendation for her." ”

Lian Haichang looked left and right today, lowered his voice and said, "But there is a suspicion in the whole thing. ”

"Still have doubts?" Yan said.

Lian Hai Changjin said: "We didn't see Ye Qing's body. ”

Yan Li said: "Then who told you about Ye Qing's death?"

"Old Marshal Zhang. "Even the sea is long and this way.

Yan Li said mockingly: "In other words, you suspect that Zhang Zhidong is lying. ”

Ma Guanshan showed some painful looks at this time, I don't know if it was because he was suffering because he wanted to doubt his beloved teacher, or because of Ye Qing's death.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he nodded and said, "I don't want to doubt the teacher, but when I asked to see the body and track down the fleeing assassin, the teacher suddenly became furious, and accused me of not leaving my post without permission, and said that he would let the saint punish me heavily. ”

Yan Li couldn't help but smile and said, "If it were me, I would also be angry." ”

"Why is that?" said Lian Haichang.

Yan Li said: "The students who have worked so hard to cultivate can leave the battlefield they are guarding for the sake of a woman, will they directly open the city and surrender for the sake of women in the future?"

Ma Guanshan gritted his teeth and was silent, obviously being said to be in the sore spot.

Lian Hai Changjin smiled bitterly: "What a rare fate it is for everyone to get together and become classmates, I think that no matter what, she can't be blinded by death." If she's not dead, she's going to look for it. ”

Yan Li said: "You want to seek the truth?"

Ma Guanshan said: "Yes." ”

Yan Li shook his head and said, "I can't help you." ”

"Why?" Lian Hai Changjin couldn't help but say, "If it's because Brother Ma has offended you, I will apologize to you on his behalf...... We really need your help. ”

Ma Guanshan clenched his fists and did not speak.

Yan Li said lightly: "There are only two results in this matter. ”

Ma Guanshan said: "What is the result?"

Yan Li said: "First, Zhang Zhidong killed Ye Qing in order to hide a secret. ”

Ma Guanshan immediately said, "What about the second?"

Yan Li said: "Second, the murderer is the group of people lurking in the dark. ”

He paused, then continued, "Both sides are equally difficult to mess with, why do you think I should investigate the Ground Snake in a strange place?"

Ma Guanshan said in a deep voice: "I will do my best to help." ”

"That's not going to work either. Yan Lidao.

"No?" Ma Guanshan became a little angry, "She saved you!"

Yan Li said lightly: "At most, she can only say that she helped me." But if it weren't for me, she would still be in Ye Shitian's clutches now. ”

"Okay, if you don't help, I'll check it myself!" Ma Guanshan said and got up angrily.

At this moment, two other students from Zhang Zhidong came over with wine glasses, "Senior brother, don't come back and don't ask me and my brother to drink, it's too unrighteous!"

Dai Shaobao strode over, put his arm around Ma Guanshan's shoulder, and glanced at Yan Li: "Why are you still messing around with this kind of guy, the teacher sent you to the academy for further study, not for you to make some indiscreet ......."

Yan Li slowly raised his head, his eyes cold.

Dai Shaobao suddenly felt a palpitation, and he couldn't say anything about the rest of the words.

"Senior brother, drink with us. Qu Zhengping walked over, glanced at Yan Li lightly, and pulled Ma Guanshan away.

Yan Li felt some kind of warning from this glance, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Lian Hai Changjin suddenly said: "Brother Yan has actually agreed. ”

"Oh?" said Yan.

Lian Hai Changjin said with a smile: "As Zhang Zhidong's students, the two of them may know a little bit of the inside story, you deliberately let Brother Ma fall out with you, just to let him get in and play tricks." ”

Yan Li looked strange and said, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

Lian Hai Changjin was stunned and said, "The last time you broke the Black Mountain, didn't you use this method?"

Yan Li couldn't help but smile and said, "If you use the same move too much, it won't work." ”

Lian Hai Changjin said gloomily: "Brother Yan really doesn't want to care about Ye Qing's life or death?"

Yan Li was about to speak, when he heard a general suddenly say loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general has something to say......

As usual, Ji Paper Kite would leave the venue after drinking one or two glasses of wine at most, but this time she always sat upright, smiling indifferently from time to time and talking to everyone, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Hearing this, she was not surprised, and said, "Speak." ”

The general walked to the middle of the room and landed on one knee, and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know how to judge the merits this time?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

Since ancient times, there have been courtiers who have admonished each other with death, but it is very rare to ask for credit.

Zhang Zhidong sank his face and shouted: "Presumptuous, don't go back and sit yet!"

Xuan turned to Ji Paper Kite again, and said apologetically: "There is a lack of discipline in the army, and the old minister will definitely teach him a good lesson when he turns back." ”

Ji Paper Kite waved her hand, but asked rhetorically, "What do you want to say?" His eyes were cold and majestic.

The general said in a low voice: "The lowly rank has followed Zhang Shuai to fight hard in Rongcheng for more than ten years, and now the whole army is boasting about a person's merits. His voice was already a little trembling, obviously a little unable to stand the aura of Ji Paper Kite.

Ji Paper Kite said: "I don't even know, who is this person?"

The general said: "Yan Li." ”

"Yan Li?" said Ji Paper Kite.

The general said: "Yan Li, a student of the academy, a young thief in Yanshan, a young talent on the Tianjiao list, this one has a lot of halo on his head, but the last general thinks that it is impossible for him to kill A Cuba, who must have been seriously injured by Lord Huaibi at that time to let him succeed." ”

Yan Li was very surprised, this is not something that can be brought to the table, besides, when he killed Aguba, Ji Paper Kite was present, what is the point of this move?

"Shut up!"

Ji Paper Kite didn't say anything, but Zhang Huaibi stood up, his face seemed to be white with anger, and said in a cold tone: "It was Yan Li who killed Ah Cuba, and he has nothing to do with me, he deserves the greatest reward, what's the use of you waiting for ten years of hard fighting? It's better for him to use a sword, Hugh wants me to hear such remarks again!"

Obviously, his dignity does not allow others to reverse the facts.

Yan Li admired him a little.

After Zhang Huaibi finished speaking, he saluted Ji Paper Kite and said, "The minister is a little unwell and has lost his company." After saying that, he turned around and left.

The general stayed where he was, and after half a day, his face turned red, and he said, "The end, the last general is rude......" and then slipped back to his seat.

Shen Liuyun sat down at some point and said, "Brother Shi is the most disgusted person in his life, so he naturally doesn't want to be that kind of person. I wanted to introduce you to him, but then I thought about it, you killed Aguba, you are in the limelight, and the guidance of the world brother may be regarded by you as relying on the old and selling the old. ”

Yan Li asked quietly, "What is the relationship between Mr. and him?"

Shen Liuyun said: "Shijiao, my father and his father grew up together, my brother has taken great care of me since he was a child, he was originally the supervisor of the academy, but he always thought that it was his responsibility to protect his family and defend the country, so he applied for the transfer of Rongcheng, and thought that it was also his responsibility to kill Acuba." You suddenly took away this responsibility in an unreasonable way, can you understand his feelings?"

Yan Li said: "Probably." ”

Shen Liuyun smiled slightly and said, "I said so much, I want you to visit Brother Shi with me later, if you can get Brother Shi's guidance, your strength should be on a higher level." ”

Yan Li's heart moved, and said, "It's all up to Mr. to decide." ”

The banquet continued.

After about a cup of tea, Shen Liuyun was about to pull Yan Li away, when suddenly another general walked to the middle of the room and landed on one knee.

"Your Majesty, the last general has something to say. ”

Yan Li was stunned, because the general was none other than Ma Guanshan.

Ma Guanshan looked like he had drunk a lot of wine, and he could smell it from afar.

Yan Li suddenly glanced at Lian Hai Changjin, and his face changed, because they already knew what Ma Guanshan was going to say.

Lian Hai Changjin hurriedly stood up, ran over and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Brother Ma has drunk a little too much, so I'll help him go down to rest." ”

"Wait. Ji Paper Kite's face was already a little cold, "I would like to hear the reason for your unauthorized departure. ”

Lian Hai Changjin secretly complained in his heart, and said: "The Xiliang army has returned to Liangzhou, and the minister only dared to leave Bingzhou after repeated confirmation. ”

As the saying goes, wine can strengthen courage, Ma Guanshan not only drank a little too much, but also a little drunk, he said directly: "Ye Qing is dead." ”

"What did you say?" Ji Paper Kite squinted slightly.

Ma Guanshan ignored Lian Hai Changjin's dissuasion, and said loudly: "The humble position means that Ye Qing is dead, and the teacher told me that she died at the hands of the assassin who assassinated the teacher, but the teacher didn't let me see her body. ”

"Zhang Zhidong!" Ji Paper Kite was a little angry, the students in the inner courtyard of the academy said that they would die, and she hadn't gotten any news yet.

Zhang Zhidong glanced at Ma Guanshan, slowly stood up, walked to the middle and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty." ”

"Ye Qing is really dead?" Ji Paper Kite said.

"Yes. Zhang Zhidong admitted.

"You dare to hide the death of a Jinwu and not report it!" Ji Paper Kite said coldly.

Zhang Zhidong sighed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is hiding it, it's that this matter is too bizarre, and it is precisely because of this that the old minister doesn't dare to make the body public." ”

"How the hell did she die?"

Zhang Zhidong hesitated for a moment and said, "She died at the hands of the desolate people." ”
