Chapter 190: Weakness

In the next half hour, in Cong Rui's opinion, his grandfather and his young grandmother were always tired of talking about love together.

The young grandmother occasionally makes a voice of surprise or doubt, but the master is patient, it seems that what the older generation says is also reasonable, man, once he becomes a father, he will always change.

Although he is still a few months away from becoming a father, people have changed now...... There is no need to mention the gentleness of the young grandmother, and he even said in the young grandmother's ear what the young grandmother likes to hear, and coaxed the young grandmother.

Cong Rui's face was not good when he saw his grandfather coming back just now, so he deliberately reminded Xie Ke loudly. Now she can finally put her mind at ease.

And Qi Lu, who moved Cong Rui in a mess, said something very 'sword light and ......sword shadow', but it turned out that Zhuge Hong only had one son, and no one dared to provoke him in Beichen Pass...... So that his only son had no one in his eyes, and he was ordered to return to Beijing five years ago and took his son with him.

But he didn't want his son to fight with a group of evil young people in Beijing.

In the end, he was killed in the chaos.

Xie Ke listened very seriously, but what Qi Lu said was very flat and had no emotion. What kind of pity, hatred is indisputable, all these feelings will not appear in Qi Lu's tone. In his opinion, Zhuge Hong is simply a godson.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, is that a place where the strong can be punished?

Maybe with a single voice, you can stand up for the sons-in-law of several high-ranking officials. Compared with those hundred-year-old clans that respect etiquette and religion, the sons of the official family are obviously more difficult to get along with.

The son of Zhuge Hong, who was born partially, has no eyes, and it is not good to compete with anyone. But he fought with the sons of several important ministers in the court, and finally caused a tragedy. It is said that the emperor also personally interrogated at that time, and also ordered the punishment of the sons of those high-ranking officials. It's just ...... "It's just that, after all, it was his only son, and the only son died tragically, how could he be indifferent as a father." Xie Ke finally sighed.

has the same temperament, but the son of the Zhuge family is diametrically opposed to Qi Lu. Qi Lu's domineering, according to what he said, is based on the time and local conditions, and he doesn't mess around. Some people are not at ease. Over time, he felt that he should have been like that yesterday, acting recklessly and lawlessly......

Besides, Qi Lu has a backer. He messed around again. In the emperor's eyes, it was just a child's temper.

And Qi Lu's cleverness is that he never provokes the son-in-law of high-ranking officials.

Those people are doing anything wrong in Beijing. Even do no evil. It stands to reason that Qi Lu should be the originator of Gongzi's buddies, after all, his nonsense nature is known to everyone in Beijing.

But there is a clear barrier between him and those people...... And those people are used to hearing Qi Lu's reputation for doing everything, and they will not provoke him lightly. Therefore, Qi Lu is as famous as those sons and brothers in Beijing. But he never officially recruited.

But Zhuge Gongzi didn't care about 3721, and when he came up, he moved what he did in Beichen Pass to Beijing.

In the end, he ended up dying in the capital. "Ah Lu, since there is this hidden worry, why does the emperor still let Zhuge Hong guard this Beichen Pass, Your Majesty is not afraid of Zhuge Hong's changes?"

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, and Zhuge Hong's son died tragically in Beijing, which is like burying a hidden danger. With the emperor's caution, how could he not doubt that Zhuge Hong still sent him to garrison Beichen Pass.

On the same day, Zhuge Gongzi was killed, and Zhuge Hong went directly to the palace to ask to see His Majesty, and said in tears that he knew that his son was stubborn...... Now that he has ended up like this, his son is to blame. He does not ask for murder to pay for his life, but only asks His Majesty to deal with it according to the law.

He behaved very rationally, and in His Majesty's opinion, this was a loyal minister who put the safety of Great Wei first.

But in my opinion, his move is to retreat into advance. At the beginning, those boys and Zhuge boys were all wrong...... It's just that in the end, Zhuge Gongzi died, so he became a bitter master.

At that time, if Your Majesty caught the first evil, and then corrected the law...... Maybe it can really appease Zhuge Hong. It's just that His Majesty thinks that the offenders are the sons of high-ranking officials. Although there is a criminal law that the Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people, who will take it seriously?

That's the case, the more you are in a high position, the more you value your heirs.

Afterwards, several high-ranking officials came forward to confess their guilt on behalf of their son, although their words were full of His Majesty's guilt. But that's naturally not right.

In the emperor's opinion, everyone is dead, and killing a few more is just adding fuel to the fire. He could only try his best to appease Zhuge Hong and make him forget the pain of losing his son...... Therefore, in order to show his trust in Zhuzhuhong, the emperor still asked him to garrison Beichen Pass.

Zhuge Hong has been conscientious in recent years.

The emperor may still be suspicious for the first two years, but after five years of guarding the pass, Beichen Pass has been very quiet...... The emperor really put down Zhuge Hong's bento, and kindly sent Zhuge Hong a few beautiful girls.

Those girls were all petty officials or from small clans.

It is more than enough to be a concubine for Zhuge Hong...... It is said that Zhuge Hong happily accepted it, and held a banquet that day to take a concubine. Later, I also wrote a thanksgiving excerpt. ”

When Qi Lu said this, he looked at Xie Ke with a light smile. "So Your Majesty thought that Zhuge Hong had really let go. didn't know that all this was just him acting, he never faded away the pain of losing his son, but the pain became worse over time. This time I found an opportunity, so I simply made peace with the rebel army in the north.

If the emperor does not give an order, let him lead his troops to destroy the rebels in the north...... He may let the rebels from the north enter the customs.

The emperor's arrangement may have been beyond Zhuge Hong's expectations. After all, His Majesty is suspicious, Zhuge Hong may not have expected His Majesty to trust him so much, and he would entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Xie Ke shrunk into Qi Lu's arms and guessed with half-squinted eyes.

Qi Lu smiled and nodded, not forgetting Momo Xie Ke's head to show his appreciation. "Yes, he had to lead his troops into the north. And Chu Ye and I took the opportunity to capture Beichen Pass.

Zhuge Hong knew that I had already seen through his yang and yin, so he would definitely not let me leave the north alive...... Right now, he's sent people around to hear from me, and he's going to leave my life in the north. And he ...... Then it will be decided according to the situation.

While making friends with the north, he showed loyalty to His Majesty.

It's just that Beichen Pass is lost, and he has no way out...... Now the only way to let all the people who know * be buried in the north can he regain control of the Beichen Pass...... Regain your grip on the bargaining chips with the North. ”

Xie Ke couldn't help but snort lightly. "He thinks well, he steps on two boats with one foot, and he is not afraid of the destruction of the boat."

"He, after all, was blinded by power, at first he may have been really unwilling, and he was bent on avenging his son, but now, he is only doing it for himself. Sister Bao, I'm actually thinking, what will happen to me if something happens to our child? When he said this, Qi Lu's hand was gently placed on Xie Ke's small* abdomen.

There, it's their children.

When Qi Lu said this, Xie Ke couldn't help but think deeply. yes, what will happen to them?

Xie Ke thought that he was willing to do anything for Sister Ying in his previous life.

Even if she exchanged her life for Sister Ying'er's life, she would not hesitate.

And now, although the child is still in her womb, she already loves it very much. She didn't dare to think that something would happen to her child in the future......

Just think about it, and the sky will fall apart.

So Zhuge Hong finally chose to embark on this road, in fact, there are some excusables. "I think I will also be like Zhuge Hong, vowing to avenge the child. It's just that I won't betray my country, my conscience because of this. Sister Bao, I won't. ”

"I know you won't." That person hurt him so much, Qi Lu actually still respected him in his heart. Who he was, she and Qi Lu both knew.

If you really want to retaliate, in fact, Qi Lu has more reason than Zhuge Honglai...... The emperor only shielded a few official sons who were fighting with Zhuge Gongzi. However, the poison in Qi Lu's body was personally inflicted by the emperor, and he poisoned it, and imprisoned Qi Lu.

If everyone is as open as Zhuge Hong, Qi Lu obviously has more reasons to betray.

It's just that he won't.

No matter how much he hates, he hates only one person. It will not implicate the Great Wei, and it will not join forces with the rebels in the north to cause misery.

He will not lead the enemy into the customs for his own selfishness.

"Once we find out this, it will naturally be easier to deal with Zhuge Hong. All he did was to not want the news to return to the capital. In that way, whether the chaotic army wins or the Great Wei finally wipes out the chaotic army, he will not be implicated. ”

"So we just need to hold Beichen firmly in our hands and make him 'homeless' so that he has to face each other in the end. At that time, it will naturally be difficult to hide the news of his rebellion......" Xie Ke's eyes lit up.

Qi Lu nodded, although this method is dangerous, it can be done once and for all. He didn't want to be on guard all the time, and he didn't want to give Zhuge Hong the slightest chance. They're completely at odds with each other. Kindness to the enemy will put Sister Bao and the child in danger, and he will not do such a stupid thing.

"Then when you come back at this time, isn't it just in Zhuge Hong's arms...... "At this time, shouldn't he stay in the camp and command the overall situation?" Why did he run to the hinterland of the north?

There are only a few dozen guards here, plus a group of old and weak women and children, if there is a case, how can he get out? Seeing that Xie Ke's little face was flushed, the smile on Qi Lu's face deepened...... What a silly girl, she always thinks of him first when something happens.

In the same way, he will also think about her safety first when he encounters trouble.

She has been living here for three months.

Although it is a secret place, it is difficult to guarantee that the correspondence will be seen through by those who are interested. This is also the reason why he rushed back, if she nodded, he would really take her back to Beijing desperately.

He is in the capital, Zhuge Hong just wants to make a move on him, and he also has to weigh his own ability. But he also knew that the little girl wouldn't nod...... She cares about him as much as he cares about her. So he still has his first move.

That is to use oneself as bait......

There is no thousand-day thief guard in the world, and he doesn't plan to play this kind of game with Zhuge Hong anymore.

What's more, if the rebellion in the north is uneven for a day, the little girl will be worried. Seeing that her belly was about to grow, he didn't want the little girl to really give birth in the north. No matter how dangerous the capital is, it is his home after all.

His children naturally have to land in their own homes. (To be continued......)
