Ninety-one. Dark Meeting (2)
Qin Nanxi waited quietly for Liu Qi to sigh, listening to the meaning of his words, she knew how much he had believed in his innocence, and then let go of half of his heart, returned to the topic and said earnestly: "In the end, it was also because of my carelessness that I hurt Brother Yi!" I understand my husband's annoyance! But I still implore my husband to believe that I am innocent. The current situation no longer allows us to waste our energy in guessing each other. The crown prince's canonization ceremony is imminent, if you can't rescue Brother Yi before then, I'm afraid it will be more difficult later. ”
Liu Qi listened to her, and was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did he raise his head and glance at her lightly, and said slowly: "There is another thing, the nursery rhyme passed on by Miss Tuo Xiaofei seems to be more than half a sentence than the one that has been circulated in the market, I don't know what is going on?" ”
Qin Nanxi was a little surprised that he would care about this matter, bit the corner of his lip, and admitted: "The first half of the sentence is indeed the one that has been widely circulated among the people, and the second half of the sentence is made up by Nanxi." ”
"What does the second half of the sentence that the young lady add?" Liu Qi's cold eyes flashed with a knowing light. Qin Nanxi understood that with his intelligence and erudition, it was impossible for him not to guess the simple story of the word splitting fan and the jade seal of the country.
"I want to use the false words of the jade seal of the country to reverse the argument that Brother Yi is in chaos in the first half of the sentence." Qin Nanxi didn't say anything dark in front of the Mingren, and explained his motives and thoughts as simply as possible.
"The jade seal of the country? How could Miss Qin have thought of pulling this thing out? That's just a legend, nonsense. Did Miss expect Zhou Huan to suppress the Yasukuni Mansion because of this, but let Muyun go? Liu Qi sneered.
Qin Nanxi didn't notice Liu Qi's slight uneasiness and nervousness when he talked about the jade seal of the country. He only shook his head and asked: "I don't expect them to let Brother Yi go because of this, but Zhou Huan killed his father and usurped the throne, so he naturally wants to get the words 'ordered by heaven' more than anyone else." If that heirloom jade seal was really in Brother Yi's hands, would he still kill him easily? ”
"Humph! Heirloom jade seal! I'm asking how you came up with this thing? Liu Qi held on tightly to another word.
The second half of the nursery rhyme that Qin Nanxi passed on to Liu Qi has some similarities with the second half of the sentence that Mr. Su taught her, and her father said that this nursery rhyme had caused a big storm back then. If she hadn't been forced to be helpless, she would never have said the second half of the sentence involving the jade seal. But now Liu Qi grabbed this and asked suddenly, she didn't think about it in advance, and she was very at a loss at the moment.
Liu Qi glanced at her and continued: "It is said that thirty years ago, there was a nursery rhyme alluding to the jade seal of the country in Youzhou, and then the war on the border of Youzhou continued, and the matter of the jade seal was over. The rumor of this matter was deliberately killed by the first emperor, so not many people know about it. At your age, you can't possibly know this, how did you come up with the idea of continuing the nursery rhyme halfway? How did you come up with the idea of mentioning the jade seal of the country in it? ”
Qin Nanxi was speechless, Liu Qi was erudite, and it was not strange to know some secrets, but it was really difficult to explain why he knew. After thinking for a moment, she calmly said another reasonable explanation: "This is the instruction of my father, my father has gone through two dynasties and three emperors, and he is in a high position, so he naturally knows what was rumored back then." It's just that my father didn't know the specific content of the nursery rhymes that circulated at that time, so I arranged these sentences myself according to the events of the time. ”
"Oh?" Liu Qi obviously didn't believe it when he heard it: "Since it was instructed by Lord Qin, why didn't Miss tell me clearly, and let me slander Lord Qin's reputation?" ”
Qin Nanxi was speechless again, and could only stare at Liu Qi in confusion, wondering why he always held on to this question that didn't matter if he had brought himself in. Putting the cart before the horse in this way, and not distinguishing between priority and priority is really not like Liu Qi's behavior.
Seeing that she was silent, Liu Qi seemed to realize that something was wrong, and then silently. After a while, he slowly moved his steps, leaned his body towards the white tower base, changed his posture, and then his tone was much softer: "But Miss Qin's idea is also a good way to delay time." Don't worry, Miss, I'll get this song out as soon as possible. ”
Qin Nanxi was silent, waiting for him to continue, she knew that with Liu Qi's cleverness, she must understand all her motives and thoughts.
"After listening to the young lady's narration, I can roughly judge who the traitor in the pro-cavalry camp is. At the moment, only in addition to this harm, I can use it with confidence. ”
Qin Nanxi very much agreed with what Liu Qi said, in the current situation, it is necessary to ensure that the pro-cavalry battalion is completely loyal before it can be used. But she was still a little surprised when she heard Liu Qi's words, it turned out that Liu Qi also decided that there was a traitor around Situ Yi.
"As for Uda's ambitions, we have long understood them...... It's just that now that Mu Yun is imprisoned, and the Northern Army is thousands of miles away, I really don't have any more bargaining chips in my hands to negotiate with Wuda, who is guarding outside Chang'an City. As for Li San, Miss must also know that it is not a person who can be restrained by blood and family, although I know where Yun'er is, I can only do my best. We don't have many people at hand, and if we don't take advantage of the situation, we are afraid that we will not be able to do so. Therefore, I want to ...... at the time of the ceremony" Liu Qi's tone was solemn, and he was discussing with her. The provocative and critical tone in his tone at first sight has disappeared.
Qin Nanxi didn't have time to think about it, and only quickly judged the feasibility of Liu Qi's plan: "However, we don't even know where Brother Yi is being held!" At the time of the ceremony, Chang'an's garrison must have been several times that of normal days, and it was difficult to insert a needle in the palace, so how to take advantage of the chaos? ”
"This, Miss don't worry, Mu Yun is not locked up in the palace." Liu Qi's tone was affirmative.
"Brother Yi is not in the palace?" Qin Nanxi was surprised.
Liu Qi looked at the deep worry at the center of her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth pulled unnaturally, and continued: "Yes, Mu Yun is not in the palace, Zhou Huan imprisoned him in his own courtyard!" ”
"Sir, are you saying that Brother Yi is being locked up in a separate courtyard in the west of Wangcheng in Changning County?" After Qin Nanxi was surprised, he was slightly happy. In the end, the terrain outside the city is remote, and the defense is slight, Rao is like this, and the chance of saving Situ Yi is naturally much greater than in the palace.
Liu Qi nodded and said: "It was an eventful time in the palace, and Zhou Huan didn't dare to imprison Mu Yun in the palace, so he locked him up in his own mansion." ”
Qin Nanxi listened, while his thoughts were flying, Zhou Huan didn't know that Situ Yi had his own secret informant in Chang'an, so he locked him in his own courtyard and said in the past, but he also knew that Situ Yi's iron cavalry camp was stationed outside the city, and the information about the place where Situ Yi was imprisoned should be extremely confidential, and I am afraid that few people would know.
"How careless would he be? How could the news of Brother Yi's being locked up in his other courtyard leak out so easily? Isn't it another lurk? Qin Nanxi twisted two cigarette eyebrows and questioned the truth of the news, Liu Qi was her remaining hope, and he couldn't have any more accidents.
The corners of Liu Qi's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of appreciation, and said, "Miss don't worry, this news is true." I didn't dare to gamble with Mu Yun's life. ”
Qin Nanxi stared at Liu Qi and nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: "Sir, when Nan Xi came, my father said that someone would help with Brother Yi's matter. Although my father was not involved, as a person, this was not a matter of faith. Therefore, please also ask Mr. to scrutinize and see if you can think of who the person who will make the shot? Knowing in advance is also convenient for the time to respond. ”
When Liu Qi heard this, the corners of his pale lips twitched a few times, and he said for a long time: "Lord Qin's sea has been up and down for half a life, and his words naturally make sense." It's just that like Miss, I can't guess what happened here for a while. But don't worry, Miss will think about it carefully. Seven or eight days is enough time to prepare. Liu Qi will definitely do his best, and he will never let Mu Yun fall! As he spoke, Liu Qi bowed his hand and bowed to Qin Nanxi.
Although Qin Nanxi was skeptical that seven or eight days was enough time to prepare, Liu Qi's tone was certain, and she couldn't refute it any more, so she had to return the salute deeply, pinning all her hopes on Liu Qi and the "yellow sparrow" who was not obvious.
Don't pass Liu Qi, it's almost the end of the day, and the carriage and horses don't have time to rush back to Chang'an City, so Qin Nanxi had to take Mama Cheng and Xiaofei to live in Ruoshui Nunnery nearby.
Early the next morning, the three of them left the guest house of Wakasui Nunnery and were walking towards the carriage waiting outside the hermitage, when they heard a strange sound of squeaking behind them......
