Chapter 262: The Storm Rises

This sleep can only be described by the word "miserable". Qin Mubai never knew that "sleeping" could be so painful.

Completely unconscious, absolutely unconscious!

When he woke up, he barely had the strength to open his eyes. Lying down and unable to move, his limbs were sore, and he was as soft as cotton, very much like being pressed on the bed by a ghost, and he wanted to turn it over, but he didn't have any strength in his body.

"You're in good health, you're strong-willed, and you woke up several hours earlier than expected." A man's voice came from the side, low and deep, with a hint of pride in his voice.

Qin Mubai's heart tightened, and he suddenly sobered up a lot. I opened my eyes with difficulty and saw that I was lying on a simple and rough bed, surrounded by the kind of spring decorations of ordinary people's houses.

Moving his eyes, he saw Yin Hongzhi standing next to him.

Qin Mubai wanted to speak, but he felt that his throat was dry like a fire, and he slid his laryngeal joint with difficulty, but he still couldn't make a sound.

"Come on, serve General Qin's soup." Yin Hongzhi spoke.

Two men and two women walked in from outside the door, and the men knew that they were Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao. The two women have delicate faces and hot bodies, and they are quite young, both of them are dressed up and look like characters in the rivers and lakes, and there is a demonic aura between their eyebrows, which is obviously not good.

"I've wronged you, General Qin." Yin Hongzhi smiled half-yin and said, "These four people were specially sent by His Highness to protect and serve you. You don't have to be polite to them, just ask for anything. Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, General Qin has woken up, you two must not neglect your duties, let alone neglect General Qin. ”

"Yes, sir." The two of them hugged their fists and gave the two women a look.

The second daughter nodded, brought a food box, took out the steaming food and soup from it, and then walked to Qin Mubai's bed and said, "I'll serve the general's meal." ”

"Put it down." Qin Mubai was still lying down and couldn't move, so he simply closed his eyes to recuperate.

The situation is all too clear - he is already under house arrest!

This is not what he is most worried about, no matter what, Li You has no reason to harm himself. What worries him is - "Li You is so bold to detain me under house arrest, then what is he trying to do!" ”

Almost reflexively, Qin Mubai thought of the prince!

Now that the crown prince is coming to Xiangzhou, Li You suddenly made such a strange and bold move, isn't it aimed at him?

"General Qin is really a calm person, it is not in vain that His Highness treats you so seriously and honorably." Yin Hongzhi chattered and said, "You must be guessing now why Your Highness did this, right?" ”

"Yes." Qin Mubai did not deny it. Weak, he simply spat out the word.

"You're such a smart person, you should be able to guess!" Yin Hongzhi smiled triumphantly, sat down on a chair, and drank tea slowly.

Qin Mubai closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly felt a little shocked in his heart, and asked aloud, "How long have I been in a coma, and what time is it?" ”

"It's not too long. We didn't expect you to wake up until noon, but we didn't expect you to be at least four hours early. Yin Hongzhi said lazily, "Now, the West River Trough should be lively, and I am preparing for the Great Sacrifice of Emperor Yang's Mausoleum." ”

Qin Mubai cried out in his heart: It seems that the worst is about to happen! This drug is so powerful, I was in a coma for a day and two nights!

"You guessed something, right?" Yin Hongzhi smiled gloomily and proudly.

"You will assassinate the prince." Qin Mubai still closed his eyes, and these words popped out from between his teeth.

"Oops! Qin Mubai really lives up to his reputation, amazing, amazing! Yin Hongzhi said in surprise, "No wonder His Highness said that if you want to succeed in your strategy, you must make a fuss about Qin Mubai." In the land of Xiangzhou, you are our only fear. So His Highness said, either you will come to help us, but this is unlikely. So......"

"So you're dragging me into the water, aren't you?" Qin Mubai said.

"That's right. You're incredibly smart, hehe! Yin Hongzhi smiled more and more proudly.

Speaking of this, Qin Mubai understands.

Li You and Yin Hongzhi devised a conspiracy to assassinate the prince in Xiangzhou. Whether or not their assassination is successful, it will cause an uproar.

If it succeeds and the prince is killed, Li Ke, the king of Wu, who is the landlord of Xiangzhou, and I, Qin Mubai, will inevitably be implicated, at least it is also a crime of dereliction of duty; If they fail, they can blame it! At the same time, I, the person who should have been present at the ceremony, disappeared for no reason, which cannot but arouse suspicion. If they try to drag me into the water with them, it won't be difficult.

A conspiracy that is despicable to the extreme!

"King Qi can't come up with such a vicious and insidious scheme, you must have supported him." Qin Mubai said.

"Thanks for the compliment." Yin Hongzhi smiled proudly and said lazily, "Didn't you scold very much yesterday?" Righteous and solemn and generous, with the face of a loyal minister. I just want to see what kind of expression you will have when you are wronged and forced to become a rebel and thief. Rest assured, my plan was absolutely seamless. Regardless of whether the assassination succeeds or not, Li You's enemies will be severely damaged, and you will have no choice but to stand with us from now on. ”

"Really? That's how you can count your relatives or those who trust you. Qin Mubai smiled coldly, "Ghost tricks, how can you shake the Heavenly Might?" I advise you to stop before it's too late. If it becomes a bitter drama, it will be too late to regret it! ”

"Young man, I don't need you to teach the old man how to do things, you are too conceited." Yin Hongzhi snorted coldly and said, "How would you feel if you witnessed your entire family being beheaded? I admit that I have selfish intentions and I want revenge. But isn't You'er also selfish? As the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a sound, do you think he is really so stupid that he is willing to become a fellow traveler with me? ”

"You didn't instigate it." Qin Mubai said, "He was born in the royal family, and he enjoys endless glory in brocade clothes, what's wrong with being a prince of peace?" ”

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and you don't understand this." Yin Hongzhi smiled compassionately, "When a person is hungry, he always desperately wants to eat his stomach; When you have a full stomach, you will want clothes to cover your body; With food and clothing, I will also miss my wife's house; With these, I will still want to be a concubine in Tianqing, and I will want to be promoted and make a fortune. Human desires are always inflated and will not be satisfied. You ask yourself, have you been willing to fall into mediocrity and live a life since you were not an official? ”

"So you took advantage of Li You's weakness and constantly instigated him to seek everything he needed through unconventional means, right?" Qin Mubai said.

"No need for me to instigate him, he himself has never been willing." Yin Hongzhi said, "Although I am his uncle, the two of us are the lord and the minister, can the minister really influence the lord?" You don't understand such a simple truth. At best, I'm just adding fuel to the fire, and it's himself who really calls the shots. In fact, if you were Li You, you might not have today's thoughts and actions. ”

"!" Qin Mubai sneered, "No matter how ambitious I am, I won't think of murdering my brother, causing trouble for my own country, and disobeying my father!" ”

"Oh, what a high-sounding statement!" Yin Hongzhi sneered nonchalantly and said, "Let me make an analogy, General Qin." I know that you are also the son of a concubine. What if your father and brother never treated you as a family member, but only as a straw bale seed, and didn't bother to look at you squarely? Moreover, your mother's mother's family still has a blood feud with your father's family, can they not treat you differently without scruples? Then, your father neglected your mother and sister, can you endure this breath and continue to live in this house in peace and quiet? ”

"You are sophistry, looking for absurd excuses for your absurd deeds." Qin Mubai didn't bother to argue with him, and said, "I'll just say one thing, you will be defeated, and there will be no other ending!" ”

"Really? Then let's wait and see! Yin Hongzhi was not angry, picked up the cup and poured the tea slowly, and said, "Why are you still stunned, quickly help the general up and feed the soup!" Don't worry, General Qin, there will never be any more drugs in these teas and rice. It's so safe that no one will find it, and there's no way you'll ever get out. So, it's better to save some effort, eat and drink well, and wait for His Highness to come back with me, and listen to the good news! ”

The two women stepped forward after hearing the order, one of them climbed onto the bed, and the two of them worked together to help Qin Mubai up, stuffed a round ball cotton back pillow behind him, and fed him with a spoon in the soup.

Qin Mubai didn't say much, and stretched out his mouth to eat. Even if this tea and rice are still drugged, there is no choice. The current situation is that if you don't eat, you will starve to death. Moreover, if you don't eat enough, where will you have the mental thinking countermeasures, and where will you have the strength to think about escaping?

At present, it is quiet in this hut, but in the place where Emperor Yang's mausoleum is buried in the West River Channel, there is a shocking conspiracy about to be staged!

If you don't find a way to stop it, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable!

A woman feeding the soup saw Qin Mubai drinking foreign broth, her brows furrowed slightly, she couldn't help but smile toothily, and said politely: "The general is really handsome, and his appearance is worthy of his reputation. My two sisters are destined to serve the general, which is also a blessing from the previous life. But general, I'm going to keep the ugly words in front of me. If you stay here in peace, my sisters will do everything to the general's word. But if the general tries to escape, then the two of us will be very unreasonable. ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, and looked at the two women carefully. They are both in their twenties, and they really look like twins. Judging from their speech and demeanor, although they are young, they must be old rivers and lakes, and they all know how to look at their faces.

At this time, Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao next to him laughed and said, "Good girl, don't scare General Qin." With the means of the two of you, how can a fierce man escape from your palms? General Qin, please forgive the villain's talk, but we must tell you the truth. These sisters are known as Shura Nakshatra. Don't look at them, they look smart, and they are gentle and virtuous, but they are really murderous and unblinking. Moreover, the murderous kung fu is simply outrageous. ”

"In short, they're all top-notch, killers." Yin Hongzhi said briefly, and said with a smile, "Because we know that General Qin is both civil and military, in addition to being extremely smart, he also has a good martial arts. I'm afraid that we ordinary people alone won't be able to keep the general, so we made this decision. If there is any unreasonable offense, I hope that General Haihan will be there! ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart: it seems that most of what they said is true. These two women, when I first saw them, reminded me of Su Lianqing, and there was more "anger" in their eyes than Su Lianqing, most of them were really ruthless. I have five people who have been turned upside down, which shows how meticulous their plan is!

It seems that this time, it is really a big trouble!
