Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter Ninety-Four: Qingwu's Words, the Danger of Haihou
There were no outsiders in the Liang Mansion, and the Marquis of Zhenhai asked for the truth and asked Qingcheng for an understanding. As for Qingcheng, he knew that Zhenhaihou would not believe Mu Huang's statement, and he also thought that he would ask himself to verify this matter again. However, Qingcheng was a little hesitant, and it seemed that even if Zhenhaihou was the only one left, he was unwilling to tell the truth.
In Gong, Liang Feng has atoned for his sins, and as Zhenhaihou's first confidant, if Qingcheng really tells the truth himself, he is afraid that Zhenhaihou will not be able to withstand such a blow. Anyway, everyone is dead, and Liang Feng is not a traitor, but it is just a truth, but Qingcheng is willing to keep his mouth shut for him.
In private, Qingcheng has always been reluctant to believe the fact that Liang Feng is an inner ghost, and he is even more reluctant to tell the truth in person, because not only Zhenhaihou, who has been with Liang Feng day and night and has been friends for many years, can't accept this matter, but even Qingcheng is the same. Therefore, when Zhenhaihou asked Qingcheng questions, Qingcheng was indeed hesitant.
However, Qingcheng didn't want to deceive Zhenhaihou, because in his opinion, Liang Feng's incident was also a lesson for Zhenhaihou, and if he wasn't vigilant, it would inevitably happen again in the future. What's more, what Liang Feng did wholeheartedly was Zhenhaihou, and one of the reasons for Qingcheng's hesitation was whether he should let Zhenhaihou know Liang Feng's intentions.
After hesitating for a long time, when Qingcheng looked at the bodies of Liang Feng and the old housekeeper again, he thought of an ambiguous answer, "The inner ghost is dead." That's right, whether it's the real inner ghost or the inner ghost that everyone thinks, they are indeed dead. Qingcheng did not deceive Zhenhaihou.
Listening to his answer, Zhenhaihou fell into a deep thought. He has some understanding of Qingcheng's temperament, and he knows that Qingcheng is a person who distinguishes between right and wrong and is loyal and righteous, so there is only one reason why he answered so intriguingly, he didn't want to tell the truth in person.
Thinking of this, Zhenhaihou seemed to understand. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, closing his eyes and being silent. Seeing him like this, Qingcheng knew that he should have understood, and wanted to say something to convince him, but before he could say it, Zhenhaihou took a deep breath, looked at Qingcheng and said solemnly: "Qingcheng, Benhou thank you for Liang Feng." ”
Zhenhai Hou suddenly said this, Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed lightly, and said: "Hou Ye doesn't have to say this, Brother Liang and I are also acquainted, and I originally made an appointment that the day of triumph was the time to worship, but I didn't want these things to happen, hey." However, Master Hou, Qingcheng has something to say, no matter what the truth is, Qingcheng always believes that Brother Liang is a loyal and righteous person who is worthy of Qingcheng's admiration. ”
"That's nature."
Hearing Qingcheng's evaluation of Liang Feng, Zhenhaihou agreed without hesitation, but he savored Qingcheng's praise for him, and the sentence "loyal and righteous man" made Zhenhaihou raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think about whether Liang Feng's matter would have anything to do with him?
Zhenhaihou is not a mediocre person, so he can naturally hear Qingcheng's hints, and after he goes back, calm down and think about it carefully, I believe it is not difficult to guess that Liang Feng's matter is because of him.
No matter what happened, Ben Hou had no doubts about his brothers, especially Liang Feng. Ben Hou knows him too well, and knows that he is by no means a traitor seeking glory, and everything must have a reason. It's just that most of this matter started because of Ben Hou, if this is the case, then Ben Hou has affected him. ”
Zhenhai Hou deliberately tricked Qingcheng's words, the latter was not difficult to hear, but he didn't intend to tell Zhenhai Hou the truth, but sighed lightly and said: "Qingcheng has no relatives or friends here, Brother Liang's future affairs, most of them still have to worry about Hou Ye, but where it is useful, Hou Ye, please do his best." ”
Seeing that Qingcheng took the initiative to change the topic, Zhenhaihou understood that he didn't know or didn't plan to tell him about Liang Feng, so he had to give up for the time being.
"It's nature. Liang Feng has followed Ben Hou for many years, and he has done his best for Linhai City for half his life, and Ben Hou should let him go in style. You don't have to worry about his future, Ben Hou will arrange it. As for the 'inner ghost', he has no relatives alive and is alone, and Ben Hou thinks that he is a master and servant of Liang Feng after all, no matter what he does, he is worthy of Liang Feng. Even if he is guilty, he should go down and say a word to Liang Feng face to face, so Ben Hou plans to arrange the future for him and continue to be with Liang Feng. ”
Since Zhenhaihou guessed the truth, he naturally understood that the old housekeeper was a loyal servant, and thought about dealing with his aftermath together, so he said this.
Qingcheng listened to Zhenhaihou's words, and after a moment of silence, he sighed secretly, thinking that since Zhenhaihou had done all the things on the surface, then he didn't have to worry about the old housekeeper's affairs. After all, if no one was willing to pay attention to the aftermath of this old butler, and let King Guhong really deal with him as an internal ghost, then Qingcheng would have some regrets in his heart.
"Hou Ye is benevolent and righteous, Qingcheng admires it, and he also thanked Hou Ye for the old gentleman. In this way, Qingcheng will have nothing to worry about, and when Brother Liang's aftermath is dealt with, Wan Lijun should also return to the station, and then Qingcheng will be able to leave without worry. ”
Qingcheng mentioned the matter of Wan Li's army's return to defense, and Zhenhai Hou didn't know what he thought, and his eyebrows inadvertently raised slightly, as if he was a little stunned. Although he quickly adjusted back, Qingcheng still caught his change.
Qingcheng pondered for a moment, suddenly realized, and thought: Master Hou should be worried about His Majesty's "reward". After all, the current Linhai City, the foreign enemy has been cleared, and Haichuan has been difficult to have the strength to fight for decades, there should be few wars in the east in a short period of time, and judging from the performance of the Haichuan bandit Hou Ye this time, if someone really wants to get rid of him, it is a good opportunity at this time. Hey, it's a pity that Brother Liang didn't hesitate to cooperate with the enemy to buy time for Hou Ye, but he didn't want me to wipe out the elite of Haichuan in one battle, not to mention the end of Haichuan's banditry, plus the situation caused by him before, Hou Ye will inevitably be criticized, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that even the "reward" will be gone......
Thinking of this, Qingcheng couldn't help but feel worthless for Liang Feng's matter, and also worried about Zhenhai Houping. He pondered for a moment, looked at the slightly worried appearance of the Marquis of Zhenhai, and couldn't help but speak: "Master Hou, my father once said: 'People are not afraid of historical book reviews, and they are not afraid of the world', Hou Ye is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, has fought for half his life, cares about the people, and does his best, I think, Your Majesty will not be unaware." Even if the villain is troubled for a while, it is difficult to hide the Sacred Heart. As long as we are worthy of our conscience, even if we suffer for a while, sooner or later the truth will be revealed, and we will get through the day of suffering. Therefore, Qingcheng's heartfelt hope is cherished by Hou Ye. ”
Qingcheng said it was relatively straightforward, and Zhenhaihou could naturally understand that he should know something, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. And he thought about Liang Feng's matter, coupled with what Qingcheng said, after pondering for a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Don't worry, Ben Hou understands." It's not too early, you've been working hard lately, and today's events have made you worry a lot, so go back and rest quickly. By the way, if you have the opportunity, thank that Mu Huang for Ben Hou. ”
Listening to Zhenhaihou's words, Qingcheng just wanted to accept it, and the words of Mu Huang scolding himself suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but think helplessly: Then you have to be mentally prepared and be scolded again......
"Master Hou...... Don't worry, I'll talk to her when I get the chance. The hour is not early, Hou Ye also please rest early, all hope is cherished, Qingcheng retired first. ”
With that, Qingcheng greeted a thunder shadow and a blast of wind, and turned around to leave. And looking at his movements, Zhenhaihou suddenly remembered something in silence and hurriedly stopped him.
"Qingcheng. In the past few days, there will be more things, but no matter what happens, you just need to remember Ben Hou's words: everything is done by heart. In this coastal city, Ben Hou doesn't agree, no one can let you do what you don't want to do, and you will definitely not be moved. ”
Qingcheng stopped, listening to what Zhenhai Hou said coldly, and felt a little confused. But he understands that Zhenhaihou should be referring to something, and he thinks that his so-called "more things" will also be related to himself, but he doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. But listening to Zhenhaihou's tone, it was as if someone was going to force Qingcheng to do something.
"Hou Ye is kind, Qingcheng is grateful, and please rest assured that Hou Ye has always done things with his heart. If someone wants to force me, then we also have to see how capable this person is. Hou Ye cherished, Qingcheng retired. ”
After saying that, Qingcheng left with Thunder Shadow and Wind. And after he left, Zhenhaihou didn't know what he thought, and couldn't help but sigh, looking very worried. I don't know, he's worried about his own business, or Qingcheng.
"I'm sorry for you, old man. You can rest in peace, I believe that it won't be long before Ben Hou will accompany you......"
Looking at the body of his confidant and beloved general, Zhenhaihou was uncomfortable. I don't know why he would say such an unlucky thing. I don't know what he mentioned about Qingcheng.
At this moment, in another place, in the post house arranged by the Marquis of Zhenhai for King Guhong, the latter had just returned. Thinking about what happened tonight, the anger in his heart was difficult to suppress, and he snorted angrily and threw the object he was playing with to the ground. It turned out to be a silver ingot, or an official silver.
Xu Lin on the side knew that King Guhong was difficult to get out, and looked at the one on the ground, which they wanted to use to expose Liang Feng's identity, and walked over silently, bent down and picked it up.
"This kid is really becoming more and more bold, he didn't even listen to the words of this king, so that we were busy working in vain, but it was cheaper that Liang Feng, and that Tang Wujing, hmph, the more I think about it, the more angry I become."
Could the "child" that King Guhong said be Qingcheng? It's impossible to guess. However, Xu Lin listened to his words, thinking that he was just saying, no matter how much trouble he said, just say a few words, and he never saw him really deal with anyone.
"Why should the prince be angry, if you want to deal with him, Tang Wujing has no chance. The emperor has long wanted to be the commander of Linhai City, and he Tang Wujing is already the target of the public, if you add the incident of the Haichuan bandits, the last general thinks that it is not necessary for the prince to do it himself. ”
King Guhong naturally understood this truth, but he was so angry that he didn't care about it. And after Xu Lin mentioned this, he finally calmed down.
"Hmph, this king is angry with that child, so naturally he can't be angry with him Tang Wujing. But what you said is that this time the matter is over, and the threat on the eastern sea is temporarily gone, and the emperor will naturally not let go of this opportunity, so there is no need for this king to bother. Hmph, I still want to use this trick to fool this king, so I will make you happy for a few days, and there will be times when you cry. ”
It turned out that King Guhong had indeed seen Mu Huang's trick, but he hadn't broken it. And it is not difficult to see from this that Qingcheng and Liang Feng's worries are not unreasonable, and Zhenhai Hou is also in danger......
