Chapter 496: Hidden Knife (Plus more to ask for a monthly ticket, light smile light yarn spirit pet fate +2)
Ying Sleeve let out a long breath, the whole person was much more relaxed, the big stone that had been pressing on the bottom of her heart since she was reborn, was finally completely removed.
She looked back at Xie Donglian, blinked, and said playfully: "I'm stupid, and I don't want to give up too many things, so in the end, I can only fight for my life." She's different, she can give up anything, but she can't give up her life. β
In order to be able to live, or live better, everyone is willing to do anything in the Spring Festival, and it is common to treat others as stepping stones.
Yingsleeve is different, she also wants to live and is willing to live better, but her bottom line is higher, and many things are more important to her than her own life, such as family affection, such as dignity.
"But for me, I just want you to live." Xie Dongli looked at her with some distress, "Nothing else matters, the important thing is that you can live ......"
Yingsleeve's smile became brighter and brighter, "This time I will definitely live well, and I will not be as useless as in the previous life." She wrinkled her nose as she spoke, "Master, in my last life, why did you only teach me to distinguish medicine and swim?" How good would it be if you taught me kung fu too? β
If she had also had kung fu in her previous life, she would not have been forced to jump off the White Tower by a few prisoners on the White Tower Prison and commit suicide.
Xie Dongli was silent, his voice was very erratic, "...... Because, I don't have that much time ......."
So it's too late to teach her more.
"Don't have that much time? Won't you? I obviously see that you are still doing your vice-chancellor, doing a good job. Ying Sleeve grabbed Xie Dongli's arm and shook it, tilting his head to look at him. Said a little coquettishly.
Xie Dongli closed his eyes, "I'll tell you later." As he spoke, he took her shoulders around. Go to the Xichengfang District where their home is located, "We have to pack up our things and leave for the capital of Northern Qi in a few days." β
Yingsleeve let out a low cry and said in surprise: "Huh? Are you going to make a move on Northern Qi? β
Xie Dongli didn't say a word and took her back.
A few days later, Xie Dongli took the initiative to post and invited Murong Changqing to come over as a guest.
Murong Changqing looked at Xie Dong's post under the fence, and his face was particularly distorted. He struggled all night before replying to the post and agreeing to go to the banquet.
Ying Sleeve was very surprised when she heard that Xie Dongli was going to invite Murong Changqing to dinner. Ask him, "What are you going to do?" β
Murong Changqing has always refused to give up on Ying Sleeve, but he didn't have any particularly out-of-the-ordinary actions, and Ying Sleeve couldn't do anything, so he just didn't see it.
But Xie Dongli ...... Shouldn't he want to beat Murong Changqing? Invite him to dinner?
"What can I do? Poisoning him, of course. Let's see if he dares to beat my daughter-in-law's idea. Xie Dongli said calmly. While holding Yingsleeve's hand, he taught her to practice calligraphy.
"You just." Yingsleeve tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Say it quickly, it's a lot!" β
Xie Dongli warmly grasped her hand, and led her to write a few words on the snow-white rice paper one by one: "The strange soldiers rush forward and go straight to the Yellow Dragon." β
Ying Sleeves was stunned, "Surprise soldiers? What do you want him to do? After speaking, he said a little sourly: "It turned out that it wasn't for me?" β
"For you, of course." Xie Dongli put down the brush and touched her head. "The mouth that eats people is soft, and the hands that take people are soft. I invited him to dinner, and he naturally didn't dare to beat you again. β
"Again!" Ying Sleeve brushed aside Xie Donglian's hand, knowing that he didn't tell the truth, but she didn't care too much, because she trusted Xie Donglian's ability, even if Murong Changqing wanted to fight, he was not Xie Donglian's opponent.
Soon it was time for the feast.
On this day, Xie Dongli was at home, and Murong Changqing came to Xie's house and was led to Xie Dongli's study in the outer courtyard by several subordinates.
"Murong Shizi is here, please take a seat." Xie Dongli ordered someone to bring a circle chair and put it opposite his desk.
Murong Changqing sat down and exchanged a few words with him, and Xie Dongli took him to the flower hall where the guests were feasting to eat wine.
A table has been set up there.
"Murong Shizi, I'll give you a glass first." Xie Dongli picked up the amphora dragon lying water ice porcelain wine glass and arched his hand to Murong Changqing.
Murong Changqing shook the wine glass in his hand with a smile, and didn't say to drink, nor did he say whether he would drink it, but just asked, "Vice Minister Xie, what kind of banquet are you setting up today?" β
Xie Dongli smiled slightly, he first raised his glass and drank the wine, and then lit up the bottom of the glass to Murong Changqing before saying, "Of course it's a thank-you banquet." I want to thank Murong Shizi for standing up and leading the troops to kill the enemy when the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was in danger! β
Murong Changqing was stunned, and slowly put down the wine glass, his eyes gradually became dark, and his voice was also very low: "Oh? Since Vice Minister Xie said so, do you know that people say that I am Murong Changqing for ...... Did the princess who protected the country come forward? β
"The person who says this is either a mediocre person with no eyes, or a wicked person with ulterior motives, why should Murong Shizi care about the words of mediocrity and wicked people?" Xie Dongli lifted the wine bottle, filled it for himself, then raised it, and said to Murong Changqing: "This second cup, I, Xie Murong Shizi, have done Neizi a great favor." She is a woman, it is not good to come forward to thank you, I am her husband, so I naturally have to work for her. β
Murong Changqing sat up straight, the corners of his lips pursed, a little overwhelmed.
He was actually ready to endure the thorny abuse and humiliation in Xie Dong's words.
He always thought that Xie Dongli invited him to dinner, but in fact, the drunkard did not mean to drink, but to warn him to stay away from his wife.
He didn't expect that Xie Dongli didn't mention the selfishness he had towards Yingsleeve, but put one big hat after another on his head, making him feel heavy and a little frightened.
He would rather Xie Dongli point at his nose and scold, warning him to break his legs......
"Vice Minister Xie, you are a gentleman, but I ......" Murong Changqing opened his mouth, wanting to say what was in his heart, but Xie Dongli raised his hand and looked at him calmly, his eyes were extremely dark, and there was a faint blue in the center, "Murong Shizi, I know that you had a marriage contract with Sleeve Sleeve before, and you didn't marry her, I am very grateful to you, otherwise there would be nothing to do with me." β
Murong Changqing: "!! β
He retracted what he had just said that he thought Xie Dongli was a gentleman!
This thing is simply a big-tailed wolf with a knife hidden in his smile!
These words are more lethal to him than directly scolding him or even beating him in the face.
"Huh. Vice Minister Xie really has a sharp mouth! Murong Changqing raised the wine glass in front of him and finally drank it all.
Boom!
He put down his wine glass heavily and glared at Xie Dongli. "If there are any other ugly words, you can say them all!"
Xie Dongli poured him another glass of wine, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why is Murong Shizi so angry? I'm speaking from my heart. Actually, I can completely understand that you still can't let go of your sleeves. If I were you, I'd just snatch her back. She won't let anyone else marry her at all. β
These words beat Murong Changqing's grievances with a stick.
Murong Changqing was even more depressed, raised his glass and drank the wine again.
Yes, why doesn't he have the pride and courage of Xie Dongli. How about snatching the sleeves back?
Therefore, the person who caused today's situation is self-inflicted, and he really can't blame others.
Yingsleeve was originally his. It's his own brain that doesn't know. single-handedly pushed her to Xie Dongli.
In the final analysis, it is because he is not as attentive to Yingsleeve as Xie Dongli.
Xie Dongli filled Murong Changqing with another glass, and said with a smile: "Murong Shizi, a manly man, acts up to the sky. Besides, you haven't done anything out of the ordinary, Neiko and I are both understanding people, and we won't be angry with you, and it's not good to pretend to be generous and make you embarrassed. β
Murong Changqing let out a long breath. Shaking his head, he said, "Vice Minister Xie, don't say it." I...... I...... I just can't get past myself. β
"You don't have to rush, when you can pass, it will naturally pass, and don't think about it every day." Xie Dongli said quietly, "I invited the prince to the banquet this time, but I actually had a serious discussion. β
"Oh? Serious business? You're not afraid that I'll tear down your platform? Murong Changqing crossed Erlang's legs and made a very unbeaten look.
"You may tear down my platform, but you won't tear down the platform of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom." Xie Dongli straightened his waist, looked at Murong Changqing quietly, and took out a picture of Kanyu, "Murong Shizi, look at what this is?" β
Murong Changqing only glanced at it, and his pupils shrank rapidly, "How is it possible?!" Where did you get that?! This is...... The map of the Northern Qi Dynasty! β
"There is a hidden path here, which can lead from Xingzhou to our north to the capital of Northern Qi." Xie Dongxuan's voice became low and cold, and his fingers tapped on the map, "Do you see this red line?" Murong Shizi, can you take 10,000 soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom within ten days, unknowingly, along this hidden path, and go straight to the capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom! β
Murong Changqing looked at Xie Dongli in shock, couldn't help but pat his forehead, and muttered, "Crazy!" Lose your marbles! You're crazy! But he put down his arm, his eyes seemed to be burning with a fire, and he jumped up: "With the way of others, he will also treat others!" ββVice Minister Xie, are we going to face the Northern Qi troops in the city as they are! β
Two years ago, the Northern Qi State suddenly came to the city, which really made Murong Changqing angry, and also made the subjects of the Eastern Yuan State very uneasy, as if the Northern Qi could go south again to fight at any time and anywhere.
And the Northern Qi State also despised the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, although they finally withdrew their troops last time, they believed that if they wanted to come to the city again, it would be effortless.
Xie Dongli showed a smile in his eyes, and he nodded heavily: "Exactly." After speaking, he said: "This matter must be kept very confidential and not let anyone know." Three days later, you led the troops north, and I and Sleeve Sleeve were waiting for you in the capital of Northern Qi. β
"Huh? You're going too? Murong Changqing put away the Kanyu map, "Where did you get this picture?" β
"Hehe, how did the secret passage of our Eastern Yuan Kingdom be known by the Northern Qi Kingdom, how did I get this picture." A sneering smile appeared on Xie Dongli's face.
Murong Changqing's eyes rolled, and he remembered that the secret passage of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was betrayed by Wang Jinyi to the people of Northern Qi, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that there are traitors in Northern Qi!" β
"Hehe, there are traitors everywhere, the difference is what price they sell, and there is no way for us to deal with these traitors." Xie Dongli watched Murong Changqing sit down, then removed the cups and plates on the table, dipped the wine in the table and drew a picture, and told him: "I am still a little dissatisfied with his picture, here and here, I will change the way for you, remember this place, take the waterway, don't take the mountain road." And I've calculated that it's twice as long to walk by water as it is by mountain, and what you need is a boat that can hide people from passing through this water. β
"What can I do?" Murong Changqing was stunned, "If you use the building ship of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the news will leak." β
"It's not hard. Our Cao Gang of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom has been sailing in the waters of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom and the Northern Qi Kingdom for several years. When the time comes, let the sleeves give them an order, and let the Cao gang leader transfer the building ship of the Northern Qi to pick you up from the Northern Qi Dynasty. This waterway is not long, and it is only a meal back and forth, so it should not be discovered. Xie Dongli has all envisioned them and explained them one by one.
Murong Changqing didn't mind, Xie Donglian's grade was higher than him, and he was also a commander and led troops back then.
Murong Changqing looked at Xie Dongli and explained to him in an authentic manner, although he was very convinced, but he was not aggrieved.
He is a civil official, but he is not only inferior to others in literature, but also inferior to others in martial arts, and he is better than himself for his sleeves, so why should he fight with him?
While Murong Changqing listened, he didn't pour enough wine on himself.
By the end of the meal, he was drunk and unconscious.
Xie Dongli asked Ah Shun to send him back, and watched him enter the corner gate with his own eyes before coming back to report the news.
As soon as Ah Shun left, Murong Changqing stood up straight, pushed the little guy who was holding him, and said, "I'll go by myself, you don't care about me." β
Murong Changqing was actually not that drunk.
He just faced Xie Donglian's calmness and felt that he was too embarrassed, so he just borrowed wine to pretend to be drunk.
Xie Dongli sent Murong Changqing away, returned to the inner courtyard, and saw Ying Sleeve still sitting under the lamp waiting for him.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Xie Dongli walked in with a smell of alcohol.
Ying Sleeve wrinkled his nose, "How much alcohol did you drink?" It fell into a vat, right? β
Xie Dongli smiled: "Almost, it's a little too much." So saying, he went to the bathroom to wash up, and then changed his clothes and came out.
Ying Sleeve had already sat on the bed, Xie Dongli got on the bed, put down the curtain, and told Ying Sleeve the purpose of inviting Murong Changqing to eat wine today.
Ying Sleeve was taken aback when he heard the map of the Northern Qi Secret Dao, and said, "How can you have this?" Who gave it to you? β
Xie Dongli smiled and said, "Qi Yanrong, the great prince of Northern Qi, returned to Northern Qi, but he didn't go back in vain. β
"Is that him?! This puppet man is so powerful?! Yingsleeve said in surprise.
Xie Dongli put a finger to her mouth and said with a smile: "That's the Great Prince of Northern Qi, how can you say that others are puppets?" But you have to remember clearly, and you can't talk nonsense. β
Yingsleeve nodded, suddenly naughtily stretched out the tip of his tongue, licked Xie Dongli's fingers, and then opened his mouth, took his index finger in his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at him.
Xie Dongli's heart tightened, his whole body became hot, he simply stretched out his finger and moved it in her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Disobedient again?" Still want to be concocted in the same way? β
"Don't dare...... The little woman didn't dare...... "Yingsleeve spit out his fingers and hurriedly hid in the quilt.
"It's late." Xie Dongli waved his hand, and with a snort, the mahogany octagonal palace lamp in the house went out in response, and the curtain fell, and there was no wind.
β¦β¦
And the families of the big families and high-ranking officials in the capital of Northern Qi have been circulating a sensational news recently.
That is, Qi Yanrong, the eldest prince who has been missing for many years, has finally escaped and returned!
With the safe return of the eldest prince Qi Yanrong, another rumor is also very popular in the capital of Northern Qi.
That is, it is said that the person who assassinated the eldest prince Qi Yanrong in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom back then, and there are other people, who are not the four princes as everyone thinks, but a certain person who "fights with the clam and makes a profit".
This kind of statement is simply the hand of the eighth prince who is now the emperor......
The eighth prince, who had ascended the throne as Emperor Qi Cheng, heard the news and was so angry that he broke his favorite glass cup, but on the surface, he was still silent, and asked the eunuch next to him with a smile: "Big brother is back?" It's so nice, invite him into the palace. We haven't seen my brother for years, and we miss it so much. β
