Chapter 372: Wooing
Cooperate? Chi Pengtian was a little surprised. But this is not something that cannot be considered, he and Deng Xiaoxian are trying their best to get rid of each other, but they have been deadlocked, and now that Qi Jingyun has killed Deng Xiaoxian, he has to thank him.
"His Royal Highness King Jin's proposal is good, but I don't know what kind of cooperation method it is?" Chi Pengtian asked.
Hearing his words, Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue both breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was hope.
The heart was happy, but the faces of the two did not show a single bit, Qi Jingyun said calmly: "It's very simple, I just hope that General Chi can replace Deng Xiaoxian and let him die justifiably." ”
Chi Pengtian said: "Yes, it's very simple. I have one request, though. ”
Qi Jingyun frowned slightly, "What request?" ”
Chi Pengtian glanced at the county lord of Baocheng who was lying on the bed and said, "I want her." ”
Before Qi Jingyun could say anything, Qiao Mingyue refused, "No! ”
Chi Pengtian's face instantly became gloomy, and he stared at Qiao Mingyue deadly. Qiao Mingyue also met his gaze without fear. Joke! The people in this world who can scare her Qiao Mingyue haven't gone out yet!
"His Royal Highness King Jin, your princess is a little ignorant of the rules." Chi Pengtian's tone was gloomy.
Qi Jingyun protected Qiao Mingyue behind him and said, "General Chi, what the princess means is what this king means." If the general has other requirements, maybe we can discuss them, but this matter cannot be obeyed. ”
Chi Pengtian was even more furious, "Your Royal Highness King Jin, aren't you afraid that I will report your killing of Deng Xiaoxian?" ”
"If you report it, you can report it, so what? We can work with you, we can work with others, and we are not so mean as to betray our friends. It was Qiao Mingyue who spoke, but Qi Jingyun didn't interrupt her, which meant that he acquiesced to Qiao Mingyue's statement. It's just that if he said this, it also means that if Chi Pengtian insists on going his own way, then they will completely break up.
Chi Pengtian didn't expect them to care so much about a woman, after thinking about it, he actually didn't have much interest in that woman, all women were the same in his eyes. The reason why I asked her was only because when she entered the door just now, her eyes looked very clear, like a deer in the woods.
For the sake of a woman, it is not cost-effective to lose an ally.
"Okay, I can work with you."
……
Chi Pengtian left when it was almost dawn, but Deng Xiaoxian was still here. Too many things happened this night, and the most important thing at the moment is that they want Deng Xiaoxian to die naturally in front of everyone.
The people sent by the emperor were still ambushed in Zhengxi Village, and they couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so Qi Jingyun suggested that everyone stay here for a few days. He didn't explain the reason, although it was a little strange, but everyone didn't say anything when they saw that Deng Xiaoxian didn't object.
"Let's go to the restaurant for a few drinks in the evening!" "Deng Xiaoxian" proposed.
The crowd agreed.
……
It's not too early after drinking, although it's to drink, but everyone doesn't drink much, and when you go out, there will be a lot of inconvenience when you get drunk, so most people are just slightly drunk.
As soon as he entered the inn, Deng Xiaoxian suddenly fell to the ground.
"Deng Gongzi! Deng Gongzi! Are you okay? The people who were walking behind him saw him fall to the ground motionless, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
His shout attracted the attention of others, including Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue. Qi Jingyun stepped forward to help Deng Xiaoxian and tried to call him, "Brother Deng, Brother Deng, how are you?" As he spoke, he patted his cheek with his hand.
Suddenly, he realized something, tested his pulse with his hand, and suddenly his face changed, "He's dead." ”
He's dead! Everyone was in an uproar, how could they suddenly die? Obviously it was fine just now.
Someone unbelievably tested his pulse, and immediately retracted his hand, his face stiffened, "Really, dead." ”
Deng Xiaoxian's death was not a trivial matter, and the news was quickly transmitted back to Nanzhao. The crowd was forced to stay for a few more days.
Three days later, it was Chi Pengtian who came again, but this time, he came with a holy decree.
Chi Pengtian naturally took over Deng Xiaoxian's position, although some people were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say anything in the end, who let him be appointed by the emperor himself.
At night, Qiao Mingyue lay in bed and couldn't sleep, things developed like this, she was still worried about the things in Zhengxi Village. The strength of the emperor's elite soldiers is not weak, since the emperor has given a heavy responsibility, it means that the number of people he sent is definitely quite a lot, after all, he sent 3,000 elite soldiers to kill Qi Jingyun at the beginning. Qiao Mingyue's mouth was a little bitter, it was definitely not possible to resist hard, and she wanted to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
When she was drowsy, Qiao Mingyue heard a soft sound, it was the sound of someone falling to the ground, and it was not a person.
Qiao Mingyue gently held Qi Jingyun's hand, Qi Jingyun pinched her in response, and he woke up when those people came in just now.
Someone touched the side of the bed slightly, and when he raised the knife and was about to stab it, the person on the bed suddenly bounced.
Qi Jingyun jumped up and wrapped the quilt around the man's arm, the man didn't notice it for a while, his hands were tightly entangled, Qiao Mingyue was not idle, grabbed a handful of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on a few people.
This is the soft tendon powder she developed before, because she has tried that feeling of weakness all over her body, and she knows the power of this medicine.
Although several people held their breath the moment she spilled, their whole body was still paralyzed.
Qiao Mingyue fed Qi Jingyun the antidote, lit the lamp, and began to look at a few uninvited guests.
"Who sent you?" Qiao Mingyue asked. Who wants to kill them? It shouldn't be the emperor, he has already laid an ambush, so there is no need to do more. It won't be Chi Pengtian, they are now in a cooperative relationship.
"You don't know what you've done?" The leader fell to the ground and laboriously spat out the words.
Inexplicably, Qiao Mingyue felt that he was a little familiar, and she stepped forward to take off his mask, which was an ordinary face, the kind that would not be noticed if thrown in the crowd. Qiao Mingyue frowned, she was sure that she hadn't seen this person.
"It's Deng Xiaoxian's secret guard." Qi Jingyun has recovered.
Qiao Mingyue suddenly realized, she had seen him a few times before, but she was wearing a mask all the time, no wonder she felt familiar but didn't remember seeing him.
"Tell me, why assassinate us?" Qi Jingyun asked.
The dark guard snorted coldly, "The master died in your hands, and you still ask me why?" ”
Qi Jingyun was slightly surprised when he saw that he knew about this, "How did you know?" ”
The dark guard gasped slightly, and said, "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." ”
Seeing that he didn't want to say it, Qi Jingyun no longer dwelled on this issue.
"Well, be my secret guard, and I'll spare your lives, how about it?" Qi Jingyun said.
The guard's eyes widened in disbelief, is this person a fool? The man who wants to assassinate him will be his secret guard!
"You're not joking, are you?" The corners of the Dark Guard's mouth twitched.
Qi Jingyun said seriously: "Of course not. "He's very short of people right now, and it's one that can win over one.
"Deng Xiaoxian is dead, I don't know how much you know about his death, but what I want to say is that he is definitely innocent. If you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you badly, but if you are not, you can leave at any time. Of course, if one day you don't want to do things for me, you can leave at any time. ”
