Chapter 407: Honesty
There is a kind of person in this world who is closest to you, but who is not a lover. He knows your qiΔ, but he is not your relative.
This kind of person is called a fox friend and a dog friend.
"Who's an old woodman!" With the beautiful face of a posthumous immortal, Mu Lao exploded when he opened his mouth.
As a generation of emperors, don't talk foul, even if you are heavy-talking, Mu Lao has never said a few words in his life. The apprentices were dumbfounded.
Lai Xiaochun glared at Luo Chen with resentment on his face. Look, you're always exploding in front of your master, so it's okay this time. In the end, the band went off track. Such a polite and polite master is actually rude. It's true that people can see everything after living for a long time.
Hua Jinshui blinked, pinched his chin and looked at Mu Lao with a surprised face: "Tsk, it's amazing, what are you...... Rejuvenated or with a human skin mask? β
Wei Fuzi and Su Xi even put away their swords and circled around Mu Lao. The surprise in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.
"It shouldn't be a human skin mask, where can I find such a tender human skin mask?" Su Xi pursed his lips, he was used to seeing the folds on Mu Lao's face, and he was replaced by apple-like skin, he was really a little maladapted.
"Hey, Mu Lao has a friend?" Chonghua nestled in Luo Chen's arms and asked in a low voice.
Luo Chen frowned slightly, and he didn't have a good grasp of the situation in front of him: "I haven't heard of it." Mu Lao has always been a lone style. Almost no one in the whole country knows Mu Lao's real name and origin, not even the first emperor. β
Chonghua knew that Mu Lao's origin was mysterious, but he never thought that no one really knew his background. Speaking of the first emperor, will you be too hasty, you don't know what the origin of this person is, you dare to let your son learn from others? What if the teaching is bad?
The four old men over there were making a fuss. Zuo Jichuan was smiling and watching, and suddenly, his face turned cold: "The yellow finch is here." β
Everyone was on guard. It doesn't matter who is a praying mantis and who is a cicada, he can't really let the yellow finch in the back cut off his beard.
The number is not large, there are several thousand. A neat procession, shining silver armor.
When Lai Xiaochun saw the person who came, his face suddenly became bad.
Luo Chen snorted coldly and took Chonghua into his arms. He bowed to the comer: "The general came in time." β
Lai Yeping smiled and saluted Luo Chen: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An, Weichen came to greet the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince on the orders of His Majesty." β
Luo Chen smiled faintly: "I'm tired of coming to the general." The eighth is still there. Lao Qi offended the people in the rivers and lakes, and his head was in a different place. The general was late. β
Zuo Jichuan and others turned their faces away. Covering his mouth, he desperately tried not to let himself laugh. Luo Chen's words are really not good. Anyway, I didn't kill Lao Qi. The people in the rivers and lakes are all present, and if you have the ability, you will argue with others, or don't say anything and find a way to deal with it.
Lai Ye swept the ground, lost his head, and couldn't tell whose body was who.
"Dare to ask, who killed it?" There doesn't seem to be any change in tone. But everyone present felt a chill.
Luo Chen looked up at the three people who were still circling around Mu Lao. Lai Ye smoothed Luo Chen's gaze. Then I saw four old men in a circle.
Or three old men, a little fresh meat.
There was silence for a while. Lai Yeping rode his horse towards the four of them, and bowed respectfully: "A few seniors, bother a few seniors to go down together." β
The three old men who were teasing Mu Lao were suddenly coming to Yeping. The face is hard to look at.
"Who are you?" Su Xi was relatively easy to speak, and seeing that Wei Fuzi's sword was about to be pulled out, he took the lead in asking.
Lai Yeping looked calm: "In Xiashang Guozhen, the general of the country came to Yeping." β
Su Xi blinked, pinched his beard and looked at Ye Ping: "Are you from Heyang?" β
Lai Yeping smiled slightly and nodded: "In the ancestral hometown, it is indeed Heyang." β
"You Lao Tzu came to Chengyang, are you still there?" Wei Fuzi asked coldly.
If you say surprise, Lai Yeping is indeed shaken by a fraction of a second. The other party's familiar tone is that the deaf can hear that they have some relationship with the elders who came to the house. But now he has received the emperor's order to bring all the princes back. Even if you really want to build a relationship, it's not now.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he pulled out a gentle and atmospheric smile, and said indifferently: "My father has passed away for many years, and now the head of the family who comes to the house is down." β
Wei Fuzi's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he couldn't see it, but he didn't eat oil and salt.
The type of person who laughs like Sakai Masato may be the most terrifying. Chonghua sighed, this is really not false at all. Some people, the milder the smile on their faces, the easier it is to stab you unexpectedly.
And they don't think it's a big deal yet.
"The Seven Princes...... How to offend the seniors, I have to give an explanation to His Majesty. "Lai Yeping has already asked people to collect the bodies of the Seven Princes. Because his head flew a little far, he sent five more people to rummage in the grass. The Eighth Prince fainted and still showed no signs of waking up, but fortunately, he was completely prepared when Lai Yeping came out, and Lu Chengfeng was in the team.
As he spoke, someone over there had already lifted the Eighth Prince to the car, and Lu Chengfeng made a simple diagnosis and judged that the Eighth Prince was overfrightened and lost his mind. It is not strictly zhΓ²ng.
Seeing that the three-legged posture at the moment will not be divided for a while. Zuo Jichuan coughed lightly and attracted everyone's attention.
"I think it's really troublesome, and Luo Chen has run out of patience. You see whether this is good or not, everyone has their own needs. We talk about our plans and choose a compromise. What do you think? β
Qinglong and the others listened and silently supported their foreheads. Young master, are you too naΓ―ve, or are you deliberately tricked? Don't talk about Luo Chen, Lai Yeping must have a ghost in his heart. Those three masters are even more bottomless, expecting them to tell their true intentions lightly, why are you kidding me?
Lai Xiaochun looked at his father with a pale face, from childhood to adulthood, his father has always been an example for him to catch up. But now, he can't tell the difference between right and wrong. This dilemma between being loyal to the monarch and guarding the family. It was he who had lived for more than ten years and met it for the first time.
Lai Yeping glanced at Zuo Jichuan deeply, and smiled indifferently: "This is excellent, I have been ordered by His Majesty to take the princes back to the palace, that's all, nothing else." β
is frank and swinging, but it makes everyone who has opened their brains suddenly have a feeling of being put together.
The kind of person you think you can blackmail others, but you never think that they will simply expose all their weaknesses, so that the useful information you hold in your hands will be useless in minutes.
This is more than the feeling of currency depreciation that makes people take a mouthful of old blood pressure in the chest.
Zuo Jichuan's eyes darkened, although he expected that Lai Yeping would say what he meant. But he never thought that the emperor's order would be so simple. He guessed several versions. But no matter which one it is, the emperor asked Lai Yeping to come over and kill people. Just take it back? Isn't it the same to bring it back and kill it?
Luo Chen hugged Chonghua, glanced at Lai Yeping, and said indifferently: "This palace is here to see the old seven and eight." If they want the throne. The palace took them back to meet their father. β
Usually a sentence. But in the middle, a sentence was added that it was difficult to ignore the message that he wanted the throne. Lai Yeping's hand paused slightly, he expected that the crown prince was here to intercept the seventh prince and the eighth prince from entering Beijing. But he didn't expect Luo Chen to have the idea of giving up the throne.
couldn't help frowning slightly, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. It seems that a child is ignorant and has made a prank, and the adult has a very helpless expression.
Three old men, you look at me, I look at you. The royal family is the most troublesome, with seven or eight heart eyes twisting and turning. It's rare to be so honest once, but I am impressed by Luo Chen. It's no wonder that the crown princess is also so indifferent, it's not that the family doesn't enter the door.
Su Xi was the most representative, and said with a smile: "When the annual old monster and the old poison are divided, we will ask Hua Yatou to judge." Hua Yatou is worried about her husband, so let's accompany her. β
Everyone was silent, is this a reason? Other people's reasons are accompanied by conspiracy to kill, will it be too simple for you to do this?
Chonghua's eyes rolled around, and he asked loudly, "Grandpa Su, what did you say about this Gaoyang Town before?" Prince, it's a big rebellion for them to gather here. β
Su Xi was stunned, this little girl actually took the opportunity to sell them.
Wei Fuzi's face suddenly turned bad, and he glared at Chonghua viciously. Just stared, but didn't move.
When Chonghua shouted, Luo Chen's heart almost didn't jump out. This kind of blatant exposing other people's words is out, maybe the other party will definitely kill her to vent her anger. How do you think the seventh hangs? It's not that I didn't say anything, but I provoked the old people and didn't open the forest. When Chonghua said this, they could obviously feel the murderous aura coming from Wei Fuzi's face. Luo Chen froze, pulled his cloak and protected Chonghua in his arms. He whispered in Chonghua's ear: "Shut up." β
Chonghua was pressed into his arms and showed a pair of eyes.
Even Cang Qi and the others were on alert, ready to slash at Wei Fuzi with a sword at any time.
Hua Jinshui sighed: "You remember this, the little girl's memory is really good." β
All:...... Is that the point?
"The old man's purpose is very simple, to bring this master of Yizhu who provoked disputes back for interrogation." Mu Lao suddenly interjected.
The originally tense atmosphere was instantly relieved.
"Master Ichitake?" If you don't mention this person, everyone will forget about it.
Cang Qi turned his face and asked his brother in a low voice: "Brother, is it the old man who does facelifts regularly?" β
Bai Ze nodded: "I heard that he is also an onmyoji, I don't know who is more powerful than Chengren." β
"Of course it's because the master is amazing, do you think you can't hear it if you bite your ears?" Gu Chengren, who had never shown up, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.
Zuo Jichuan's eyes lit up: "What about people?" β
Gu Chengren pointed to the car: "If you fall asleep, you won't wake up until you go to the capital." β
Secret techniques plus some acupoints, if he can still wake up, no one will be able to stop him.
Gu Chengren turned his face to look at Lai Yeping: "Did your emperor send you?" Or did the founding emperor who lived in the Prince's Mansion send you? β
Everyone was stunned by one sentence. Emperor, which one is it?
Fortunately, the eighth prince fainted, otherwise he would have to faint again at this time. If you talk about the emperor, it is naturally the father of these bear children. But Gu Chengren asked the founding emperor.
In Laiye's indifferent eyes, a trace of chill flashed without a trace.
Gu Chengren smiled slightly: "Arrest the Seven Princes and the Eight Princes back, and Qiu Zeyuan will be able to start." It doesn't matter who was originally succeeded to the throne. But Qiu Zeyuan saw Luo Chen's eyes and began to be suspicious of the Dong family. At this time, it is natural to attack the rest of the Dong family. Three Princes and Nine Emperors...... Are you still alive? β
Lai Yeping looked at Gu Chengren, and his cold gaze seemed to be looking for something on Gu Chengren's face. After a while, he smiled faintly: "Naturally, it is safe and sound, after all...... They are also heirs to the throne. β
As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to the correct answer to Gu Chengren's initial question.
Everyone was surprised, and they looked at the posture of swearing allegiance to Emperor Qinglong. Oil and salt are not eaten, and soft and hard are not eaten. They are all worried to death, how can they rebel against the gatekeeper of Lai Yeping. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, didn't he think it was strange? The founding emperor of hundreds of years ago is still alive now? That's it, without saying a word, take someone out to complete the task assigned by others. Don't ask? Come on, general, you ...... It's treason, right?
Facing the scrutinizing eyes of everyone, Lai Yeping looked indifferent. The smile on the corner of his mouth grew thicker.
Gu Chengren glanced at Luo Chen: "You have to be prepared, it is very likely that you are not the Dong family." β
The tone was so light that Luo Chen didn't react for three seconds. After a while, he understood what Gu Chengren was talking about.
Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed: "What nonsense!" β
Gu Chengren sighed and shrugged: "Or your mother should be the Dong family." β
According to the extremely limited information that he and Mu Lao were able to find. It is true that as long as the Qiu family gives birth to a boy, it must be golden eyes. Even if it's a coincidence, it's been a coincidence for hundreds of years.
Qiu Gaoling's identity is also worth scrutinizing. The Qiu family has been hiding in the rivers and lakes for so many years, how did it come to Qiu Gaoling's generation and began to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court.
"The mother of this palace is the current queen, Gu Chengren, pay attention to your words and deeds." Luo Chen was indeed angry. Chonghua, who was nesting in his chest, could directly feel the cold air exuding from Luo Chen's body, and his muscles stiffened.
Gu Chengren pointed to the car: "This will have to wait for Master Yizhu to wake up and explain it to you." It's hard to accept, but you have to listen to it. β
In fact, it's not a conspiracy, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't figure it out. It's just that for a child who respects and loves his parents, it's like the sky is falling apart.
As an onlooker, Chonghua's mind suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light. Could it be that she thinks it is?
Lai Yeping's eyes darkened, and as soon as he raised his hand, a team of elite soldiers surrounded everyone: "Take the prince back to Beijing." β
"Wait!" Wei Fuzi suddenly shouted: "Hua girl, I haven't decided the winner with the old poison yet!" β
Chonghua was dumbfounded, is this the time to talk about this? (To be continued......)
