So you mean, you've never tried to rebel from the beginning to the end?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Feng Qingyang said: "I have been guarding the frontier for the empire so far, squandering my blood and blood, but I have never had a complaint. How could I personally destroy this empire that I had guarded for half my life? If I really moved, and all sides rose up together, then no one could really keep the world of the empire. At that time, the six nations will easily encroach on the territory of our empire. ”

After hearing these words, Dongfang Shuo exhaled deeply.

His eyes fell on the chessboard, which he was dragged by Feng Qingyang from beginning to end, and unconsciously pieced together a crooked loyalist on the chessboard.

It can be seen that perhaps he had planned this statement from the beginning.

"At the same time, I am glad that I was able to die at your hands. ”

At this time, Feng Qingyang had already turned around and returned to his position, and when he sat down, he said so.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at him and said, "I have never met you, and I haven't even heard of your name before this, how fortunate is it?"

"You haven't heard of me, but I've heard of you. In just a few months, you've gone from being a nobody to one of the brightest stars in the Empire. Such a speed has never been seen before. ”

"It just shows that I'm lucky. ”

"No, it's more than that. ”

"How so?"

"Actually, from the moment you stepped into my courtyard, I was already watching you. ”

"How did you observe?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

At this time, Feng Qingyang pointed to the generals under the court: "When I asked him to stop you, not only did you not panic in the slightest, but you also reacted very rationally, and said the sentence 'let the whole city be buried', such courage and courage are really rare at your age." ”

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "So, you're testing me?"

"I've been tempting you. ”

"Where else?"

"I threatened to kill you when I was playing chess just now, but you didn't show the slightest panic, and I was quite surprised by such a city and composure. Feng Qingyang said.

Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze and said, "Is there anything else?"

"And after that, when I let you go, if you were gone, I wouldn't have kept you at all. Feng Qingyang said, "But at that time, you chose to stay, so it can be seen that you had already noticed that this matter was unusual at that time, right?"

"You can't say it's wrong. ”

So, you also have the ability and the will to be able to discern the facts. Feng Qingyang said, "The above is enough to prove that you have been able to get to where you are in a short period of time, not just because of luck, but also because it must not be accidental." ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled.

"The analysis is straightforward. Dongfang Shuo said, "But these are not reasons for you to kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

The corners of Feng Qingyang's mouth hooked: "Indiscriminate killing of innocents, do you mean the general you brought?"

Dongfang Shuo stared.

To this day, his face remained calm, as if he didn't care.

"Don't tell me, that's tempting me, too. Dongfang Shuo stared, "I was at the door just now, and I didn't notice his breath." ”

But Feng Qingyang didn't say anything, but picked up the jade bottle next to the table and reopened the seal of the jade bottle.

But this time, Feng Qingyang turned his back directly to the sky and poured the contents of the jade bottle into his own mouth.

"It's just a bottle of water. ”

Feng Qingyang said with a smile.

And Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment.

Looking at his face at the moment, it didn't seem like he was lying at all.

And this fact can just explain why Dongfang Shuo didn't smell any poisonous gas.

After Feng Qingyang put the jade bottle on the table, he said, "As your first reaction said, if there was really a colorless and tasteless poison in the world that could kill the powerful and invisible, the Seven Kingdoms would have been in chaos a long time ago. And if I only have a poison prescription but no solution, then I will not dare to use this poison at all, and who knows if it will be used on myself one day. ”

There is no flaw in this statement.

And that's exactly what happened.

Although Dongfang Shuo had long sensed the strangeness, he did not delve into it.

"Then why can't I feel his breath?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Feng Qingyang smiled, but did not speak, but looked at the generals under the hall.

The general suddenly got up and left in a hurry.

After a while, two footsteps came from outside the house, and finally the red shawl followed behind the general and appeared in front of Dongfang Shuo.

"Lord Dongfang, are you injured?"

Red Shawl asked immediately after standing still.

Dongfang Shuo didn't answer him, but turned his head to look at Feng Qingyang, and his eyes were even more mixed.

"Why are you tempting me, it doesn't make any sense at all. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

Feng Qingyang shook his head: "You are wrong, it means a lot." ”

"What's the point?"

The answer lies in the decree in your hand. ”

"Divine decree?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at Na Ring suspiciously.

At this moment, the decree was placed in the vows by him.

And the content of this holy decree is to allow Dongfang Shuo to mobilize soldiers and horses from various counties.

But Dongfang Shuo didn't understand what Feng Qingyang meant after thinking about it.

"Don't you understand?" Seeing that he was silent, Feng Qingyang said, "When you have the qualifications to mobilize the soldiers and horses of various counties, then you have the ability to destroy the foundation of the feudal officials. Your Majesty wants to make you a sword, sweeping away Yuyu in order to help the great cause. And when everything is done, you will definitely be crowned with great merit, and even His Majesty will no longer be able to control you. So the meaning of the pen is already very clear, he did not hesitate to temporarily give up the imperial power for the sake of the great cause of the empire. ”

Feng Qingyang paused, then looked at Dongfang Shuo's gaze and suddenly became serious, "And I, if I want to pass the last pass for Your Majesty, if you don't have the ability to master Huangquan, then I will really have to rebel today." Rather than let the empire be ruined at your hands and add more infamy to the empire, it is better to let it be destroyed by my own hands. ”

At this time, Dongfang Shuo let out a long breath.

The real Feng Qingyang was completely different from what he imagined before he came.

Perhaps from the beginning, he was already wrong.

Feng Qingyang had no intention of rebelling at all, and that letter could not stand scrutiny at all.

And to Dongfang Shuo's surprise, the emperor's meaning turned out to be like this.

Before leaving the court, Dongfang Shuo already knew two things. First, the Empire State Building will fall, this is what Ji Zhaoning said. Second, the emperor saw that Dongfang Shuo had bad intentions, but he still spared no effort to reuse him, which must be to win in danger. What he didn't expect was that in Feng Qingyang's opinion, the emperor wanted to transfer the imperial power.

If this is the case, Dongfang Shuo really needs to hesitate, should he kill the emperor.

"So now, is the game going on?"

Feng Qingyang looked at Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Feng Qingyang, but did not speak.

Feng Qingyang said: "I mean, it's still that game of chess, betting on my head." ”

Dongfang Shuo stared.

Looking at the chessboard with the word 'loyalty' arranged by the sunspots, he was silent for a long time.

Finally, he let out a long sigh of relief.

But then, just as a flash of disappointment flashed in Feng Qingyang's eyes, Dongfang Shuo raised his hand and fell again, and laid down a sunspot very neatly.

Seeing this scene and hearing the sound of Luozi, the disappointment in Feng Qingyang's eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a burst of laughter.

After laughing, he looked at the chessboard, raised his hand, and brushed the sleeves of his arm over the surface of the chessboard, which immediately caused the black and white pieces on the entire chessboard to 'crackle' and scatter to the ground.

"I lost. ”

He said as he got up.

As soon as the words fell, he moved his steps and walked out of the house unhurriedly.

When he got under the eaves, he looked up and saw that the snow that had stopped before was falling again.

After a moment of silence, he continued to pac forward, walking barefoot and thinly clothed into the snow in the courtyard, leaving a shallow trail from the doorway.

He stood in the center of the courtyard and looked up at the snowflakes falling.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and in the blink of an eye, it had covered all the footprints he had walked.

He raised his hands, caught a few snowflakes, and withdrew his gaze from looking up at the sky.

Watching the snowflakes melt in the palm of his hand, the corners of his mouth showed a meaningful smile.

Whew!

Suddenly, a sharp blade protruded from his chest, and blood instantly stained the snow around him.

Soon, he had fallen silently in the red and white snow, cut off his breath.

And the bloody blade swung in the wind, and the sharp edge did not leave a trace of blood.

This sharp blade was supposed to pierce the emperor's chest, but at this time, it pierced Feng Qingyang's body first.

Feng Qingyang worked hard for the country, and this is the case in the end.

And this is also the second Zhongliang killed by Dongfang Shuo.
