Chapter 19: Go Back
"These are your task lists and rankings, if you are not convinced, just ask me. He Xianqing, who is at the bottom of the ranking, is conscientious and has never done these things, but his ability is not enough, he is demoted to one position, and he still trains with you, as for the other nine traitors, they will be put in and disposed of in the future. Duan Bailan commanded lightly.
Wang Xun and Chen Qin's faces are not very good-looking, after all, they are brothers who have died, but if they are wrong, they are wrong.
Liu Nianru didn't know what Duan Bailan was thinking at the moment, looking at the surface, she really couldn't see through this person.
Hearing the word "disposal", Qing Ling finally couldn't help it, and shouted at Duan Bailan: "Brother Duan!"
Duan Bailan turned his head to look at Qing Ling, his eyes were calm, and he lost his usual spoiling: "Qing Ling, you said you wanted to see it, but now you can see it."
"Brother Duan, did you misunderstand something, Lu Gong, how could Lu Gong betray you." Qing Ling said in disbelief.
When Lu Gong heard Qing Ling's words, he glanced at Qing Ling quickly, and turned his head away.
Liu Nianru suddenly felt that things had become interesting, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something between them.
"There was no mistake, but he didn't deny it either." Duan Bailan said undoubtedly. He saw Qing Ling's teary eyes, and said with a hard heart: "If you want to keep him, how about I let him go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you?"
"No!" Qing Ling hurriedly denied it.
At this time, even Chen Qin understood that once the dark line was exposed, then there would be only a dead end. Back in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister will not let him have a good time.
"Qingling, it was you who recommended him to join the army, and he came to this position step by step, and I also promoted him because of your involvement, and he is indeed capable and able to afford this position, but now that this kind of thing has happened, I have also lost a capable cadre, you say, is it my fault? How did you stand here and intercede for him? Duan Bailan walked towards Qingling step by step, and asked unhurriedly.
"You said you wanted to see the martial arts arena, so I brought you here, I trust you so much, but what about you? I guess you've heard of the things that the prime minister did. โ
Qing Ling listened to Duan Bailan's words, tears couldn't stop falling, and she explained in a choked voice: "No, it's not like this."
"Let's go, we'll be as good as ever, Qingling." Duan Bailan said softly.
Liu Nianru looked at them silently, yes, people like the county lord of Qingling should not be involved in these things.
But sometimes it's just that you can't help yourself, and the involvement of interests is to make you make a choice. On the one hand, there are close relatives, and on the other hand, there are good friends from childhood to adulthood, and you can only choose one.
She must have grown up in the glass since she was a child, so pure and transparent, but as time passed, she was destined to come into contact with the gray sky outside.
"Brother Duan, you must have a way, right?" Qing Ling said unwillingly, she knelt in front of Duan Bailan, knelt on the ground, and shrunk into a small ball. "Brother Duan, please, save Lu Gong's life."
"County Lord, you don't ask for him." Lu Gong saw Qing Ling's appearance, and he couldn't help it when he didn't speak: "Duan Bailan, if you want to kill, kill it, why bother to bring Qing Ling over."
Duan Bailan didn't match, he chuckled, turned his head and asked Liu Nianru: "Ru'er, what do you think?"
Liu Nianru didn't expect Duan Bailan to ask herself.
What's the matter with her?
"That's naturally up to the prince." Liu Nianru threw this hot potato back again, so she didn't want to get involved in the entanglement between them.
As soon as her words fell, Chen Qin immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "Lord, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, although Lu Gong is loyal to the prime minister, but he is trapped in the injustice of the prince and cannot be let go."
Duan Bailan just wanted her to find a step down, and when Liu Nianru saw Chen Qin's words, she suddenly realized.
"Qingling, do you understand?" Duan Bailan turned her head and no longer looked at Qingling, took Liu Nianru's hand and went out.
Qing Ling didn't react yet, and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
The sun is like fire, and the ground is hot and hot, but Qingling's plain white and slender jade hands are just allowed to bake the earth, and the whole person is like a flower.
Liu Nianru was pulled out by Duan Bailan, and after Qi Qi got on the horse, she spoke: "Do you just let Qingling kneel here?"
Don't say Duan Bailan, Qingling's appearance, even if she looks at it, she feels very distressed.
"It won't be long before Chen Qin will naturally send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this time it's just a lesson for Qing Ling." Duan Bailan said lightly, there was no emotion in his eyes, as if nothing had happened.
"Are you really going to kill Lu Gong?" Liu Nianru asked.
Duan Bailan didn't look like that kind of unkind person, and even in her opinion, he was sometimes too tolerant.
"Otherwise, can this stay? Ru'er, there must be a bottom line in governing the army. Duan Bailan asked rhetorically.
Liu Nianru also stopped answering, and she realized that many things were not as simple as she imagined.
Three days laterโ
Despite Liu Nianru's reluctance, Changwu still dressed her in a light blue wide-sleeved liuxian skirt, and according to her wishes, she only inserted a jasper hairpin on her head and a white jade bracelet on her hand.
Changwu said that the prince knew that Liu Nianru didn't want more accessories, so he specially found this hairpin, and others knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and he would not lose his identity.
Liu Nianru has never cared about these mundane things, but she just sighed, Duan Bailan is quite careful. It's just that when she went out, Wang Xun told her that Duan Bailan still had to deal with some matters in the palace, so she and Chen Qin entered the palace first.
"Wang Xun, can you often enter the palace? Can you be familiar with the palace? "Liu Nianru has never entered the palace, and she is not familiar with the personnel in the palace, if there is no one around to mention it, she may make a mistake.
"Miss Liu, don't worry, I'm familiar, I'm very familiar!" Wang Xun smiled a flower on his face, and with some teasing: "The prince specially instructed me to let me protect you closely!"
In Wang Xun's opinion, Liu Nianru could no longer escape the palm of his lord's hand, so he was extraordinarily attentive.
"That's good." Liu Nianru nodded, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.
The prince's mansion is quite far from the palace, and although the road is smooth, Liu Nianru is about to fall asleep.
After estimating that more than two hours had passed, Wang Xun asked Liu Nianru to dismount.
Liu Nianru lifted the curtain, and there was a carriage parked in front of the meeting, the wheel was made of mahogany, and the body was painted with dark cyan paint, and only a few lines were simply carved, which did not look monotonous.
