The prime minister laughed, "To be honest, I don't feel at ease with people like you, so I will investigate your details, I didn't expect you to do so well, as long as I found out that you have a wife, there is nothing else, so I will leave you with peace of mind by my side, but what I never expected is that the more I wish, the more seamless, the more problematic it really is." ”

"Prime Minister, I really wanted to surrender at the beginning, but I never expected that a lot of things would happen later." Huang Xu lowered his head, "Can you let my wife go?" ”

"Let your wife go, who will let me go, after Qi Lichen returned to the capital, the five princes who followed him were in full swing, I, an old courtier in front of the emperor, I'm afraid there is no place for me, either you die or I die." The prime minister smiled grimly, "Since he can install people around me, then I can also install people around him, which is called treating others in the way of others." ”

Huang Xu was completely desperate, if he moved Qi Lichen, the poison in his body would definitely attack, and then he would return to Huangquan, no matter how much beauty in this world there was, it had nothing to do with him, and his wife would be lonely for the rest of his life.

But if he chose to let his wife die, he couldn't bear it, and his wife gave him a rare tenderness in the world, which made him feel very fond of many things in this world.

He made a difficult decision, and the prime minister smiled, "I'm not trying to force you to die, the Qi Pavilion Lord should trust you very much, you just need to go to him and find an opportunity to assassinate him, this task is actually very simple, much simpler than us outsiders." ”

Huang Xu smiled bitterly, if he could really kill Qi Lichen so easily, then his prestige status in the rivers and lakes would probably no longer exist.

He was just the lowest person in the Qingyu Pavilion, and he didn't know a lot of secrets and news.

What's more, when he defected, Qi Lichen had no trust in him for a long time, and all he had to do was to use it, how could he use his trust to kill people? It seems that for today's plan, we can only agree to it first, and then talk later.

"Okay, Prime Minister, I promise you." Huang Xu said.

The prime minister smiled with satisfaction, "Those who know the times are Junjie, go down, if you really do this for me, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Where can Huang Xu still think about these problems, but he just thinks that if his family can be safe, it will be fine, otherwise he may not be able to live in this world without shame, because of him, a lot of things have happened in his family.

After Huang Xu retreated, the prime minister's cronies asked, "Has the prime minister planned it a long time ago?" ”

The prime minister shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not that I have planned it a long time ago, I still have to do it, and I will investigate it well when this matter is over, but now that I think about it, wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of such a traitor." ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that this time I'm going to die." The cronies sighed.

"It's because there is little chance of surviving that I won't send you." The prime minister sighed, and after a long time, he said: "Hurry up and investigate, take his wife to the prime minister's mansion, when such a handle is in your hand, you can rest assured that he can do things, don't be in a hurry to let him out of the mansion, in case he doesn't come back after he goes out, it will be a trouble to find him, let him go later." ”

The cronie nodded, "The subordinates understand." ”

As soon as the reward order was issued, countless people rushed to go, and the 100,000 taels of gold on the surface were already exciting, not to mention the unspeakable benefits in secret.

The spring rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and as soon as he arrived at the boundary of Jiangzhou, Qi Lichen felt that he was being targeted by a group of people.

He doesn't come to Jiangzhou often, and there is really nothing surprising here, so when he was considering the construction of the Qingyu Pavilion branch, he didn't take Jiangzhou into account.

There are few people here, and they are not familiar with the terrain of Jiangzhou, but this is indeed one of the best rest areas in the capital.

It's just that as soon as I entered the inn, I felt that something was vaguely wrong around me.

The shopkeeper was unusually enthusiastic and helped them lead the carriage to the back yard, Qi Lichen frowned and asked, "Are there any other guests here?" I like to be quiet and don't like to live under the same roof with strangers. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Business is not good this year, and you are the only one in the store." ”

Qi Lichen was relieved.

There are not many people in the store, only two small servants and a shopkeeper, and it looks normal, nothing special.

Qi Lichen took Xi Muyun to the second floor, "The situation has been a little wrong recently." ”

Xi Muyun nodded and said, "You can feel it too, I thought it was my illusion, I always feel that there are many pairs of eyes following us." ”

Qi Lichen nodded, and then said: "He is still a person sent by the prime minister, he doesn't want me to return to the capital alive, in fact, if it weren't for the emperor wanting to see you, I wouldn't want to go back to the capital, how good it would be for us to go to Qixian." ”

"Otherwise, we won't go to Jincheng, you see more on this road, if the emperor asks, he will say that I am not in good health, and I really can't go to the capital to recover my life, I need to lie down and recuperate, and I can't do without the business over there." Xi Muyun grabbed Qi Lichen and said.

Qi Lichen thought about it, sighed and said: "I think so too, it may be a capital crime to kill the head if people catch the handle." ”

Xi Muyun nodded, "Why don't you talk to the fifth prince?" ”

Qi Lichen thought about it, "It's okay." ”

"Aren't you on good terms with the Five Princes? When I was in Yanzhou before, how did you feel a little alienated? Xi Muyun asked curiously.

"Actually, we're not supposed to be friends." Qi Lichen shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Actually, he is a good person, but we may just be opposites. ”

"There's no conflict between the two." Xi Muyun smiled, but she didn't want to care about the reasons and things involved, everything went naturally, maybe it would be better.

As he spoke, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Qi Lichen glanced out, only to find that it seemed to be Huang Xu.

How could he be here at this time?

Qi Lichen thought about it and decided to open the door and let Huang Xu in.

Huang Xu hesitated a little, and only said after a long time: "Pavilion Master, can you give me this month's antidote first?" The Prime Minister sent me to complete an impossible task, which is estimated to be delayed for a long time, and I will not be able to come back for a long time, and the next medicine will be ten days later. ”

"You can just go to Bai Bing Bai Ze for this kind of thing, you don't have to come to me in person." Qi Lichen said expressionlessly.

"This matter is not big, it is not small, I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to be the master, so I came here in person, the prime minister seems to be gathering some people in the rivers and lakes recently, I don't know what to do, the pavilion master must be careful."

Qi Lichen looked at him, he seemed to have something else to say, but he thought about it and swallowed all those words.

Qi Lichen saw that he was strange, so he asked, "Do you want to go back?" ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master Qi, I know that my betrayal pig and dog are not as good, you are good to me, and I have taken refuge in others." Huang Xu said, paused slightly, and said after a long time: "I also have my own suffering. ”

Qi Lichen looked at him and said a little strangely: "Are you afraid that I won't fulfill my promise?" ”

"Of course not, that's not what I thought." Huang Xu hurriedly shook his head and said: "If Cheng Xiao dies, my mission will be over, this is what you said, I have always kept it in my heart, and I believe that if the task is completed in the future, the pavilion master will also fulfill your promise." ”
