Chapter 108: Negotiation

At this time, Su Chi did not know that on the night she and Chongyao were imprisoned in the stone chamber, Lan Qi, who she was bent on saving, was engaged in a deal and negotiation with her closest father in the world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On both sides of the road are lush bamboos, and the path is winding, all the way past the birds and flowers, quite a bit of the local landform of Nanqi. Lan Qi obviously felt that these were familiar and cordial, but he was used to seeing the windy and sandy northern climate in Beiwan, and he was even more frightened at the moment.

Lan Qi was escorted forward by the black-clothed men on both sides, but he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, this time in the name of breaking into the mountain to save people, he came to Ge Village to explore the truth and the truth, which was a plan agreed upon by himself and that person. But he is different from him, he is exquisite in body and excellent in martial arts, but he can only rely on his identity to fight for his life.

All the way to the emerald color, the insects and birds in the mountains are very happy, all the buildings are leaning on the side of the mountain, scattered, you can see how exquisite and luxurious the owner here is. The only place that violates the harmony is that there is one post and ten steps and one sentry in four weeks, which is heavily guarded, and everyone is equipped with sharp weapons and covered with black veil.

Lan Qi quietly looked around, and said with a wry smile, even if it is a Da Luo Immortal, I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape here.

Suddenly, I heard an armored guard beside me say, "It's here." ”

Since the master here was invited, Lan Qi stepped forward and was about to step forward, but he heard the other gatekeeper say: "Son, slow down." ”

This voice was very familiar, Lan Qi suddenly raised his head, and faced an expressionless face, and the man said: "The subordinates must check whether the son is carrying sharp weapons, please forgive me for the offense." ”

said the words of please forgiveness, but without waiting for Lan Qi to answer, he had already searched his body, looking at this extremely iconic face, the identity of the owner here was already self-evident. Unexpectedly, Lan Qi suddenly reflected Su Chi's pretty face in his mind, and his throat was astringent. It was only an instant, and he regained his clarity, still with a ruffian smile on his face.

waited until he was touched all over his body before Lan Qi was released. He strode into the wooden house, but saw that all the furnishings in the house were very familiar, the people of Beiwan liked gold and jade, and the rich family especially enjoyed gold and jade ornaments.

However, the people of the Southern Qi Dynasty liked some unique things, such as bamboo and wood carvings, which were all elegant things that the literati loved, and most of these things were priced at a thousand gold in the Southern Qi Dynasty, but they were not sought after in the Northern Wan.

Lan Qi looked at the past one by one, and the breath of his hometown rushed to him, in this little-known small mountain forest, but it clearly contained how much longing and affection for his hometown.

However, when his eyes looked at the man who was sitting with his back to him, these sentiments and sorrows disappeared in an instant, leaving only reason and courage.

Lan Qi had already guessed his identity, but when he turned his face, he still chuckled in his heart.

The man was wearing a brocade robe, embroidered with the unique pear blossom totem of the Su family, elegant and elegant, although there was white hair between the temples, but the demeanor was beautiful, and it looked elegant and gentle.

When Lan Qi saw all this, he had already guessed a huge secret: the Yasukuni Duke of Beiwan and the Sikong of the current dynasty turned out to be from Southern Qi.

Lan Qi's ears suddenly recalled Chongyao's words that persuaded him to cooperate in spying on the false time in Ge Village: "Why do you think the Lan family dares to indulge your brothers to send people to kill you? You are just a pawn of the Lan family to hide people's eyes, and the Lan family's game of chess is really big! In Jinling, a nephew who eats, drinks and has fun, but he has cultivated his wings to the height of a very human minister, guess what, is the current Su family willing to suffer the crime of fornicating with the enemy country to fight your life in Nanqi?"

Lan Qi didn't believe Chongyao's words very much that day, although such news was not shocking, but it was indeed incredible, so Lan Qi retorted: "If Su Yuan is really a spy of Nanqi but refuses to do things for Nanqi, do you think Nanqi has no handle in his hands?

Otherwise, who was responsible for the large and small assassinations of the Yasukuni Mansion over the years? The Yasukuni Mansion has not investigated the case again and again, just because it is afraid that the matter will become a big problem. Chongyao's tone was very disdainful, and he was always arrogant and cold.

Lan Qi sneered: "Isn't it you King Qinghe who has been doing ghosts behind your back all these years?"

Chongyao sneered: "Thanks to love, I really don't dare to be." "The assassination of Yasukuni Gong has been a fact for many years, but Chongyao's action was planned from the day of Qinghe County, so this pot really can't afford to bear.

The Su family has a special favor of concubines in the harem, and the prince of Yasukuni wears many positions in the foreign dynasty, and now this hot and powerful hero and the pillar of the country is actually a native of Southern Qi. What's going on here?

His thoughts returned to reality, and he saw Su Yuan in front of him turn around: "The nephew looks here, can he still sleep in peace?

Everywhere you see is the style of Nanqi, and suddenly it seems to have returned to the old country when Cheng Huan was a child, Lan Qi was stunned for a long time before replying: "Lan Qi was far away from his hometown when he was young, and he can't remember what he looked like back then." It's not Lan Qi who is afraid of homesickness, but Guogong. ”

Su Yuan was not angry, nor did he have emotional fluctuations, just like a loving elder who sympathized with his juniors: "Sit." ”

The two of them don't sit softly, and there are no chairs here, and the two seem to have some kind of tacit understanding, and they both sit on their knees.

Only then did Lan Qi see that the ink under Su Yuan's hand had not dried, it should have been written by Su Yuan just now, and there was a poem on it, a poem that his grandfather loved very much.

Nostalgia for visiting ancient things,

The city is full of autumn.

A bird brings smoke to don't Zhu,

Count the sails and return to the boat in the rain.

Xiao Xiao twilight blows the red leaves,

The miserable cold clouds overwhelm the old building.

The desolation of the homeland who asks,

People's hearts are no longer more romantic.

It was the "Jinling Nostalgia" of the Ming Dynasty of the previous dynasty, a sentimental work that was difficult to harvest after the defeat of the homeland.

Su Yuan still smiled, "Dare to break into my village alone, it is really a hero out of a young man!" Su Yuan has exploration in his eyes, and there is also murder.

Lan Qi laughed and prevaricated: "Guogong raised Lan Qi, but I heard that the bully went up the mountain to rob my Meiji, so I rushed up desperately, I didn't expect to bump into you who are here to take refuge in the summer, it's really a coincidence!"

Both of them are clear-minded, and it is not necessary to say whether it is really "clever".

Lan Qi broke such a big secret, so he naturally wanted to pretend to be crazy and stupid, although he also knew that it was unlikely, but if Nan Qiao could really find Su Chi, maybe Su Yuan would have a turnaround.

Or, Chongyao is also a turning point, but this person is calculating, scheming and vicious, in the end, he is not as kind and generous as Su Chi, straightforward and benevolent.

Good to use.

But Su Yuan didn't intend to let Lan Qi fool the past like this, "Mingren doesn't say dark words, since the nephew has come up, you might as well be straightforward, it's convenient for you and me." Everyone in the world thinks that the village is a place where the cottage green forest dwells, but they don't know that this is the paradise of my Su family. ”

Since he couldn't get mixed up, Lan Qi continued Su Yuan's words: "It's like, everyone in the world thinks that the Su family is loyal and patriotic, and sends their daughters into the palace to serve the emperor, but they don't know that a place of remembrance of other countries has been built outside this imperial city. I don't know which monarch Su Jia is loyal to, and which country he loves?"

Su Yuan stood up and rearranged the books on the bookshelf on the side, not even giving Lan Qi a look, "What do these things have to do with the nephew? If you are not careful, the nephew will probably die in this village, what does these past events have to do with you?"

Lan Qi already knew that he had straightened out so many secrets, and it was normal for Su Yuan not to tolerate himself, so it seemed that even if Su Chi came, he was afraid that Su Yuan would not stop. But since Su Yuan personally talked to him in detail, he either wanted to know something from him, or he had some stakes.

Thinking of this, Lan Qi's confidence finally came back a little, and he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Since the Duke of the Kingdom has given teaching, he must not be willing to give up Lan Qi's life, and please teach me the Duke of the Kingdom." ”

The uninhibited young man who was uninhibited on weekdays suddenly became tame, and Su Yuan had appreciation in his eyes at this time, the young man's spirit was not a bad thing, but if he blindly did not change his arrogance, he would not be likable.

"It's not a difficult thing, for the virtuous nephew, it should be regarded as a great luck. Su Yuan curled his eyebrows and stroked his beard.

Lan Qi said in astonishment, with a face full of disbelief: "Great luck?" "It's great luck to be able to go out today, where do you dare to ask for anything."

Su Yuan practiced his own calligraphy, he was copying a volume of Buddhist scriptures, and said: "The old man intends to help his nephew go home, is this a big luck?"

Lan Qi couldn't help but take a step back, his limbs were uncoordinated and almost tripped himself: "What are you talking about, what? Go home, which home to go back to?" He was so frightened that he couldn't speak incoherently, as if he couldn't hear the voice of others, and he almost bit his tongue when he spoke without regard for etiquette.

Is it to go back to Proton Mansion or back, back to Nanqi?

Su Yuan had already expected him to be like this, after all, he was a young man, and his concentration was still too bad. But he had a gentle and tolerant attitude on his face, as if he was carrying a junior: "Naturally, I went back to the Lan family, Nanqi." ”

Lan Qi realized his gaffe, and sat upright, "Lan Qi is just a proton, if the prince has something to order, I'm afraid I have more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”

Su Yuan seemed to really listen to these words, and he didn't look back, "It makes sense." Then he called out to the door: "Sangyu, send off." “

Lan Qi already knew so many secrets, where did Su Yuan say that he asked Sang Yu to send him back, it was clearly meant to send him on the road. Staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, Lan Qi finally recognized the reality, "The vertical son is ignorant, and the prince of Wangguo will not hesitate to give advice." ”

The first step lowered his head, and the back will naturally be logical, Su Yuan is satisfied: he can bend and stretch, and he is a malleable talent.

At this time, someone came in to serve tea, Lan Qi was thinking about what Su Yuan wanted to do for himself, while drinking white tea from Nanqi, the taste was authentic, and the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, but today it tasted the same as chewing wax, and he didn't have any thoughts.

After half a tea time, Su Yuan saw that Lan Qi's patience had been almost worn out, so he spoke leisurely on the side: "Actually, this is indeed a good deal, the old man can not only help his nephew return to China, but also help his nephew win the position of the head of the Lan family." ”

Lan Qi's heart moved, "Guogong laughed, Lan Qi has an elder brother and a younger brother, he has been hostage for many years and has nothing, how can he be the head of the family?"

Su Yuan took a sip of tea and didn't speak, the fragrance of tea overflowed, but Lan Qi didn't care about it.

Lan Qi still showed his line of defense first: "Even if Lan Qi really has a heart, but today he has been repeatedly assassinated, and he is afraid that he will not have his life to return to China." "Lan Qi is finally no longer hiding, if you can't keep me safe, I'm afraid you won't get what you want.

Su Yuan threw the teacup on the table, his eyes full of ridicule: "If you don't have this ability, I'm afraid you won't be worthy of the support of the Su family." "The Su family never cooperates with the incompetent.

Although Lan Qi bowed down in front of him because of his request for Su Yuan, he was a teenager after all, and he was suddenly stimulated, "Don't worry, no one can take Lan Qi's life." Then he changed his words, "The Su family is so running around for Lan Qi and daring to be the prince of the country, what can Lan Qi bring to the Su family?"

Su Yuan flicked his sleeves and was very arrogant: "It's very simple, I want the Lan family to be used by me from now on." ”

Lan Qi almost had green tendons on his wrist, and blurted out a sentence of "impossible". He slammed the teacup and spoke very quickly: "Lan Qi is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he is willing to do some things in exchange for a living." However, my Lan family is a hairpin family, and has been admired for generations, how can I damage the name of my century-old family for the sake of me? The Lan family is born noble, mourned after death, and will do everything to protect the honor of the family from generation to generation, and Lan Qi will not dare to insult his ancestors until he dies. “

Lan Qi's words are the consistent attitude of the family, and these disciples have memorized the family tree more than the law history books since they were children, and they are proud of their own blood inheritance. Although he has interests with his brothers and uncles, he will try his best to protect the interests of the family when it happens, not to mention the shame of making the family a puppet.

Lan Qi still sat on his knees, and Su Yuan stood still in front of him, condescending, with a bit of compassion and pity: "Actually, if you agree or not, it will be a matter of time before the Lan family falls." You have been in Beiwan for ten years, why did your uncle and brother only think of assassinating you today?"

Lan Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Su Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Because of the current head of the Lan family, your grandfather has been bedridden for several months, and his life is only in the mundane. Look at those brothers of yours, do you think the Lan family can still prosper? The Lan family has been in control of the government for many years, do you guess whether the emperor of Southern Qi will be iron-fisted once? Will those other gate valves fall into the ground?"

Every time Su Yuan said a word, Lan Qi's heart sank a little, because he understood: The person in front of him told the truth, and sometimes the truth was more terrifying than the lie.

I still remember the joy of my youth, I think of the love of my parents, and then I was hostage, and since then the end of the world is separated, and there is nowhere to return home. The Zhumen compound with His Majesty's imperial pen is the hometown that he has dreamed of returning to at midnight for many years.

Thinking that there might be seals, falling trees everywhere, a bleak family, and a rare old garden, thinking of his grandfather, thinking of the big family that was very prosperous, and thinking of those brothers who were like jackals, tigers and leopards, Lan Qi closed his eyes and took a long breath: "I promise." ”

When Lan Qi went out, Sang Yu lingered at the door for a long time before coming in, and saluted: "The stone room is simple, I'm afraid that I have wronged the girl." "Let's hurry up and invite the girl out, what if it's cold?

Su Yuan didn't say a word, Sang Yu thought he was pondering, so just as Sang Yu was about to repeat Fang Cai's words, he saw Su Yuan slam the teacup in his hand on the stone slab.

Sang Yu looked at Su Yuan's favorite white jade teacup on weekdays, and he didn't dare to say a word, so he had to retreat silently.
