Chapter 244: Mutual Suspicion
The door was opened, and the sunlight poured in, Qi Lichen didn't feel surprised, just raised his head and squinted slightly at King Mu Jun, "It's a little unexpected that the county king came so soon." ”
"Stop acting here." King Mu Jun sat down in front of him, and then said, "You expected it a long time ago, didn't you? He snorted coldly, and then said, "I have arranged people early in the morning to protect that batch of jewels, and you know that I am bound to get it." ”
"What are you talking about?" Qi Lichen frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression, "Even if you think I'm a smart person, but these inexplicable words, even if you can understand people's hearts, there's no way to understand them, right?" As he spoke, he smiled faintly.
"Don't fill me with garlic, you didn't make it, so who will it be?" King Mu Jun said viciously: "Tell me honestly, where did you transport that batch of jewels?" ”
"Lost something, didn't look at it?" Qi Lichen frowned, "Such a treasure that is rich and rivals the country, there are naturally many people who covet it, you are not optimistic that it is a matter of your ability, King Mu Jun, I was tied here by you, and since I stepped here, I have been controlled by your subordinates to be free, where do I have time to deploy more things, is it possible, you really regard me as a person who can go to heaven and earth, King Mu Jun, I don't have that much ability!" ”
King Mu thought about it carefully, in fact, what Qi Lichen said was not completely unreasonable.
It is not necessary that something is lost, it is Qi Lichen's doing.
He took a deep breath before he said, "Have you thought about what I asked you to think about just now?" ”
"You don't know who I am, so I dare to use me for my purpose, I want to know what your purpose is, you are not afraid of ......" Qi Lichen chuckled.
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by King Mu Jun, "I don't care about your purpose at all, or rather, I don't care about your Jianghu organization at all, even if you want to do any tricks, you can't escape my eyes." ”
"You're so confident." Qi Lichen seemed to be emotional, and seemed to feel ridiculous, with an inexplicable feeling in his tone.
King Mu Jun vaguely felt a little uncomfortable, but there was no way, now that everything was imminent, he really couldn't spend more time on Qi Lichen.
"In a word, yes or no?" King Mu said.
"Our alliance must be built on mutual trust." Qi Lichen said: "First, you must keep my identity secret, second, you must find the treasure and give me half of it, I will treat it as if I have never been to the treasure place, I have never seen these things, you don't have to hand it in the court, I know that you don't have such a noble mind, you don't have to pretend in front of me, this deal is already very cost-effective." ”
King Mu Jun just thought for a moment, opening a silver ticket that could never be redeemed, it was just a trivial matter.
He smiled, "Deal." Turning around to leave, as if remembering something, he turned his head and asked, "What is the purpose of your incarnation to the prime minister?" ”
"Are you scared?" Qi Lichen raised his head and looked at him with a cold look in his eyes.
"I'm just curious, I don't want to say it, and I won't force it." King Mu Jun said and walked towards the door.
Qi Lichen said in a low voice: "It's just some personal grudges, King Mujun, can you let your people let me go?" We have to find the treasure. ”
King Mu Jun just thought about it for a while, and immediately waved his hand to let the people next to him let go of Qi Lichen.
"My subordinates." Qi Lichen said.
King Mujun looked back at Lan Luo, "Go and let them all go." ”
"King Mujun is really refreshing." Qi Lichen smiled, and there was no look in his eyes.
King Mujun let him go, probably because he felt that the enemy of his enemy was his friend.
After the treasure incident, the trust between King Mu and the prime minister may not exist, and the power of the prime minister in the court is still not to be underestimated, and King Mu Jun may want to use the internal contradictions between him and the prime minister to tie up the prime minister.
Qi Lichen is not such a stupid person, and he will not let King Mu Jun take advantage of it like that.
After coming out, King Mu Jun smiled and said, "Qi Lichen, how does it feel to regain your freedom?" ”
"Yes, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it was still a cold winter when I left, and now it is spring, and I haven't been home for a long time." Qi Lichen said with a smile: "I miss the pastries made at home." ”
King Mu Jun smiled, "I understand what you mean, but the person who robbed those treasures is likely to be the prime minister's person, and it's not convenient for me to interfere too much in the affairs over there, so ......"
Qi Lichen knew that this old fox wanted to take advantage of himself, and when he and the prime minister were so amusing that they couldn't get along, he would sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But if the truth of the matter is not what they imagined, then what will happen? The corners of Qi Lichen's mouth were slightly hooked.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan, peach blossoms flowing water mandarin fish fat, life in the small mountain village is always so peaceful.
Xi Duyun asked Cuiyun to go out and check the news several times, but the reward was that he was heavily guarded and couldn't find anything, but the valuable person who had just arrived was still there, and he heard from others that something was wrong on the mountain road, and a caravan encountered robbers when it passed by the mountain road, and all of them died.
Xi Duyun felt nervous after hearing this, for fear that the injured team was Qi Lichen's caravan, so she immediately went to see it and confirmed that it was a false alarm, but she was not unfamiliar with these people, they were those killers lurking in the inn, and they would be thrown into the wilderness and die here, which made her strange.
It's just that she can't think about it so much now, and Qi Lichen's safety worries her even more.
On the way back, I suddenly heard a noisy sound in front of me, and I ran over to take a look to find out that it was a person floating in the river, and everyone didn't know whether this person was dead or alive, so I had to catch it first.
Several strong young men who were familiar with water jumped down and pulled the man half-dragged to the river, and an old man stepped forward to probe his snort, shook his head and said, "The breath is so weak, I'm afraid I won't survive." ”
"Hey, I say, didn't a caravan just die on this mountain road two days ago? Isn't this guy related to that caravan? A young man said.
Xi Duyun's expression became nervous when he heard this, and he immediately stepped forward to take a look, the person lying on the ground, perhaps because he had been floating in the water for a long time, his face was pale, and his skin was a little swollen, but he could clearly see that his chest was still rising and falling, and he should still be alive.
After identifying it for a long time, he finally recognized it, isn't this the shopkeeper who does chores in the store?
Perhaps only he knew the truth about the slaughter of the caravan on the mountain road, Xi Duyun thought about this, and immediately said: "As long as you live, there is hope, everyone go and ask Lang Zhong to save people." ”
"But asking Langzhong for money is asking for money, and people may not be able to save it." The old man stroked his beard and said.
"How can money matter? Well, I'll pay for it. Xi Duyun said in a deep voice.
Cuiyun looked at the shopkeeper lying on the ground, his whole body convulsed, and he immediately exclaimed, "He can't do it." ”
"I'm afraid that I'm choking on water in my lungs, so you should hurry up and invite Langzhong." Xi Duyun took out a piece of broken silver from his body and handed it to the young man beside the old man, who immediately answered and ran away.
She looked at the others again, "You can help me, turn him over, let him face down, hold his body, pat him on the back, lift his head slightly, let him spit out the choking water in his lungs, and then wait for Lang Zhong to come and take a look, it should be fine." ”
