Chapter 234: The whip is beyond the reach of the whip

Now that I think about it, this trip to the palace is actually full of dangers.

Fortunately, Qi Lu's move did not change to respond to all changes, and finally let them get out of danger...... It's just that Hele has that temperament, like a grudge.

There is also Queen Song, who did not achieve her goal this time, I don't know if there will be a follow-up. As for Li Guifei, the mother of the King of Xiang, Xie Ke instinctively felt that she was not simple, and she was not as straightforward as she appeared, and she seemed to have no heart in front of the emperor. But...... In the previous life, her son finally won the supreme position of the Ninety-Five.

How can a noble concubine who has no heart in the city help her son ascend to the throne in the palace.

In short, whether it is Queen Song or Concubine Li Guifei, they all have an eight-sided exquisite mind.

Seeing Xie Ke frowning, Qi Lu couldn't help but speak lightly. "You're thinking nonsense again, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Whether it is the queen or Concubine Li, they will never blatantly attack me. Even the emperor will not plot against me now. What else do you have to worry about? In Qi Lu's opinion, Xie Ke is really too careful.

People are all changeable, one moment they want to harm him, the next moment they may do their best to protect him.

There are always two sides to the matter, and it is impossible to conclude the coffin until the final moment. Xie Ke is not as generous as Qi Lu...... Although the emperor looks okay, but who knows if the emperor will suddenly get sick, just like in the previous life, the capital was in turmoil, and finally the king of Xiang ascended the throne as the emperor......

If Qi Lu Xing in the previous life would have defected to the king of Xiang, he would eventually become a powerful person in the new dynasty.

But now, although they and King Xiang did not tear their faces on the surface. But whether it is the king of Xiang or Qi Lu, they are very scruptuous.

Although Qi Lu did not explicitly say who he hoped would eventually inherit the unification, he would definitely not be the king of Xiang. "Since Your Majesty has set a date, we can only set up a banquet in three days, and I will send someone to prepare it when we return home."

Xie Ke nodded worriedly.

Before entering the mansion, He Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear beside Qi Lu, Qi Lu's face did not move after hearing this, but Xie Ke, who knew him well, was still sensitive to it, and the young man's suppressed anger seemed to be gradually evaporating.

"Sister Bao. You take your daughter back to the back house first. I have important business to attend to. ”

Xie Ke nodded. Whatever happens, it's not a good time to ask. She believed that what needed to be known to the man would tell her later.

Seeing that Xie Ke obediently hugged Sister Pian and walked to the backyard, Qi Lu no longer hid the anger on his face. He asked in a cold voice...... "You say it again." What happened in Hele Town? ”

He Zhang felt the fear he had not felt for a long time. It seems that his grandfather has suddenly returned to before marrying a young grandmother, and the anger around him is not concealed at all. He Zhang hadn't seen his grandfather's straightforward anger for a long time, and he couldn't help but have a cool voice. “…… Zhao Song's family died. The dark piles arranged by the master in Hele have also lost contact. ”

After entering the Beichen Pass. Qi Lu then instructed Zhao Song to still go to Lezhen.

In Qi Lu's opinion, it was a very important place for him to stay. Moreover, Xie Ke and his entourage hid their traces in Hele, whether it was the emperor's people or the prince's people, they did not find any trace of Xie Ke, so naturally Zhao Song's identity was revealed. Although Zhao Song preferred to return to Beijing with Qi Lu, he also knew that he had offended his young grandmother Xie Ke. The young grandmother is benevolent and righteous, so she didn't sue in front of her second master, but what she did, it was impossible to escape the ears and eyes of the second master no matter what, so it was better to turn to Lezhen.

On the one hand, he plans to run for his master, and on the other hand, he hopes to make a turn in Hele and atone for his sins.

When he didn't see how his grandfather treated his young grandmother, he could still comfort himself...... My own father is a man who stands up to the sky, so naturally he will not make a big fight for a woman. But I saw that the grandfather was like a jewel to the young grandmother. and after the young grandmother gave birth to her daughter, the grandfather's happy look. For a full month, the lord's face was smiling for twelve hours, that is, he fell asleep, and the corners of his lips also hung a light smile.

At that moment, Zhao Song understood that he had made a big mistake.

So he didn't say much about Qi Lu's arrangement of instructing him to still be happy.

It's just that......

But I didn't want this to be a farewell. Although Zhao Song is not a great talent, he is an extremely loyal person.

Because of his faithfulness, although most people thought he was foolish. However, Qi Lu admired Zhao Song's loyalty very much. So he knew that he had felt sorry for Xie Ke, and he didn't punish him severely, but punished him for guarding the tent for a few days.

Although the man was not of great use, he was still reassured by putting it in Hele.

Hele was the only way to his fiefdom.

Therefore, Zhao Song's existence seems to be insignificant, but it is actually very important...... But he didn't want him to return to the capital for only a few days, and he received the news that Zhao Song was slaughtered. According to the hour, Zhao Song was killed before he returned to Hele Town, which means that Zhao Song's identity has been exposed, and the other party may be waiting for Zhao Song to surrender himself in Hele Town. Or there are always people who keep an eye on the movements of his subordinates. Seeing that Zhao Song had fallen into order, he took the opportunity to kill him.

in order to weaken him.

Although a Zhao Song will not affect his overall situation.

But after all, he was single-handedly cultivated, and he was loyal to him, and suddenly received the news that his entire family was dead. Qi Lu's heart was like a fish thorn.

I can't spit it out and can't swallow it.

Seeing that Qi Lu finally gradually withdrew the lust in his eyes, He Zhang spoke again. "The message was delivered by the Dark Guard. It is said that the dark guard noticed something wrong, and Zhao Song should have contacted the dark guard every other day. The dark guard didn't see anyone and thought it was strange, so he ventured into Hele Town to investigate.

After a look, I found out that there were robbers in the Zhao Mansion the night before.

The bandit was discovered by the Zhao Mansion's subordinates, and it seemed that he had not stolen anything valuable.

But I didn't want to start a fire in Zhao's mansion overnight, and when it was discovered by neighbors, Zhao's mansion was already in flames. The fire burned overnight, and on the second day, a bold man entered the house and found several corpses in the house.

In the inner room of the main house, there are two skeletons, and there is a small skeleton next door, where Zhao Song's five-year-old son lives. The official investigation and control of the cause of the fire did not find any traces of arson, and it can only be speculated that the fire candle was used improperly. The Dark Guard noticed something was wrong, and then quickly reported it.

"Pack up our things, and we'll go out to Hele Town in three days." Qi Lu said coldly.

He wanted to see for himself who was against him. Naturally, his people can't die in vain...... "Is it safe to leave the young grandmother and young lady in the house?" He Zhang nodded, it was simple to pack up, but his grandfather left Beijing at this time, but he didn't know if the enemy would take advantage of the chaos. After all, the situation in the capital is unclear now, and my grandfather's trip to the north has really revealed his big face, and everyone in the capital is watching, from the emperor to the people.

At this time, it is really inconvenient to leave Beijing.

"I'll find someone to take care of their mother and daughter." Qi Lu frowned slightly.

He didn't know that this was not the opportunity to leave Beijing at this time, but Zhao Song's vain death made it difficult for him to ignore it after all. It's better to take the opportunity to take a trip to Hele and find out for yourself.

He already had doubts in his mind. Just have to confirm it yourself.

At this time, there was a risk, and the other party was ruthless, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to bring Xie Ke by his side, so he had to find a safe person...... He Zhang went to arrange the itinerary and prepare the feast.

The post had already been sent, and it was originally scheduled to be five days later, but since the emperor personally ordered it, the Qi family naturally sent someone to inform him. The person who received the news couldn't help but sigh secretly, sighing that the emperor really had high hopes for the second son of the Qi family, the daughter of the second son of Qi, that is, the seal of the county lord, and the emperor personally inquired about the banquet. This is no longer favoritism, this is simply doting.

Both Kwon and Xie Yan received the news.

Quan Sheng was naturally very happy and envious, thinking that he must become friends with Qi Lu on this trip......

If you add the relationship between Xie Yu and Xie Ke who are sisters of the same clan, his Quan clan is not far from the day of soaring. As for what Xie Yu did when he was in Xie's family. Kwon Sheng felt that it was just a misunderstanding.

Xie Yu is the wife he is marrying, in fact, they have been together for a long time, and Quan Sheng feels that Xie Yu is quite pitiful.

I want to come to Qilu as a big man, and I don't care about the behavior of those little daughters.

When Quan's mother got the news, she even invited Aunt Quan's grandmother back to discuss with her daughter what gifts to give that day. Aunt Quan is naturally very happy that her younger brother can tie up Qi Lu.

If Quan Sheng can really have a relationship with Qi Lu.

Even she will be looked down upon by her husband's family......

Therefore, Aunt Quan's grandmother went back to her parents' house every day for the past two days, and discussed with Quan's mother what gifts to give.

Xie Yan looked at the post and finally just sighed lightly. Thinking that he was a little anxious after all, how good it would be if he waited for the banquet to find an opportunity to say some heart-to-heart words to Qi Lu, but he couldn't wait to disturb Xie Ke. I don't know if Xie Ke has made his intentions clear to Qi Lu?

It would be nice if Xie Ke hadn't said it.

He also took the opportunity to pretend to ask each other unintentionally, with his identity, even more on the day but the emperor designated, Qi Lu is no matter how uninhibited, he will not disturb the feast for his daughter, and then he will observe the words and emotions again, and he will naturally have a plan in his heart. In addition, the family who told his daughter to kiss was also very anxious. said that the other party's grandfather's body was not as good as day by day. I want to settle the family affairs of my eldest grandson before his grandfather dies.

When the other party and Sister Xia have passed the filial piety period, they can get married.

He was indeed very satisfied with this family business in his heart, but he always vaguely felt that Qi Lu was a ...... Confidants.

It's not that Qi Lu will do anything rebellious, but I feel that Qi Lu's actions are always unpredictable. Don't let him go to the prince with all his heart, but Qi Lu unexpectedly went against his father and brother, and then finally affected him.

He didn't want to be convicted.

***

The news that Qi Lu was going to travel did not tell Xie Ke that night.

When Qi Lu came back that night, Xie Ke had already taken his daughter to rest, and when Xie Ke got up the next day, Qi Lu left the house early.

For two days, Xie Ke didn't see Qi Lu.

If it weren't for the mark that someone had slept with her, she would have thought that Qi Lu would not return at night. (To be continued.) )
