Chapter 131: The Truth Revealed
Out of the living room, Qin Mubai walked silently towards the gate of the palace, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.
Li Daozong, is he a person who doesn't know what to do? I took the risk to give him a wake-up call, and he just blasted me out like that? …… No, what he just said is very problematic!
"This king is already familiar with his chest, so why bother looking at it again?" - He just rolled his eyes a few times, could it be that he can still remember it?!
With a light in his heart, Qin Mubai turned his head to look at Chen Yan who was walking beside him. The light bursting from his eyes was sharp and sharp, staring at Chen Yan a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Yan reprimanded in a low voice.
"Actually, I should have figured something out a long time ago...... I'm so stupid! Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed.
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Yan frowned slightly and asked.
"You should know better than I do in your heart, so why bother to break it?" Qin Mubai laughed contemptuously, and strode forward with his feet raised.
Chen Yanjiao's body trembled slightly, she bit her lip in shame and annoyance, and stood still for a long time, then turned her head and walked towards the hall.
Li Daozong sat upright, as if waiting for Chen Yan to come back. Seeing her coming, he didn't speak but smiled slightly, a few crow's feet wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were much softer than just now, and there was some pity and banter in them.
"Lord Wang...... I've been wronged this time! Chen Yan stepped forward, stomped her foot, and said in annoyance.
"What's the matter, Yan'er, was pierced by Qin Mubai's kid?" Li Daozong laughed, stepped forward and patted Chen Yan's shoulder gently, "Forget it!" Anyway, paper can't contain the fire, so it's the same if he knows it sooner or later. This king can see that this Qin Mubai is a talented person, smart, wise and quick-witted, and even the slightest clue will not escape his eyes. ”
"Didn't you deliberately show him the stuff?" Chen Yan, who has always been as cold as frost, actually pursed her lips and acted like a little woman, "Why did you tell him just now, you already know the account book in your chest?" ”
"If I don't say that, how can he go back and report to Li Ke?" Li Daozong smiled and said, "He is a smart man, he must know what I mean." Without further ado, I immediately left for Chang'an to meet the Holy One. Yan'er, you really made a great contribution this time. The reputation of this king was almost ruined in the hands of Zhang Tianci's demons, thank you so much! ”
"Look at your greed for money in the future!" Chen Yan glared at Li Daozong angrily.
"Okay, okay, this king immediately ordered to disperse all the family resources to relieve the disaster and release food, okay? First, it is my repentance, and second, I can go to the emperor to ask for mercy! Li Daozong said.
"Okay, you can leave for Chang'an, it's too late!" Chen Yan gently tugged at Li Daozong's sleeve robe and said, "When we left in the morning, I heard them say that the emperor's imperial decree is very likely to have been issued, maybe it is already on the way. You can rush to Chang'an as soon as possible. ”
"Rest assured, this king's green jade snowhoe horse travels thousands of miles a day, and it can reach Chang'an in an instant." Li Daozong looked at Chen Yan and nodded and smiled, and reached out to stroke her head, "Yan'er, it's not a serious matter for you to have a girl's family floating in the rivers and lakes, so find a good husband to marry as soon as possible?" ”
"Don't say it, you leave for Chang'an!" Chen Yan blushed and hurriedly urged.
"I think this Qin Mubai is not bad......"
"Besides, I won't pay attention to you in the future!"
"Okay, let's stop talking!" Li Daozong laughed, "Good daughter, go for your father!" ”
……
Qin Mubai returned to the inn, and several accompanying hundred horsemen were waiting for him in the room. Seeing him come back alone, they were a little surprised and asked, "General, why didn't Chen Yan come?" ”
"She should stay in the palace as a guest, right? I don't know. Qin Mubai casually threw a sentence, turned over and lay on the bed, "Everyone must be tired, go back to their rooms to rest." After waking up, we ate and drank to our heart's content, and then hurried back to Jishan. ”
"Yes, General." The pawns didn't dare to say anything more, and left the room to rest.
Qin Mubai took a long breath with his hands on the back of his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "Whether it's officialdom or rivers and lakes, it's really people's hearts and minds." I never expected that this Chen Yan would always have something to hide from me. Actually, I'm really stupid, I should have thought that she would show the account book to Li Daozong first. Zhu Chengwen died because of Li Daozong, and when he was dying, he left his last words to protect Li Daozong...... If I were Chen Yan, I would definitely take the account book to see Li Daozong as soon as possible! ”
Then next, Chen Yan did these things under the guidance of Li Daozong. Including her blending in with us and inquiring about the intentions and attitudes of me and Li Ke, she was actually spying on the emperor's intentions. After that, she went to assassinate Zhang Tianci...... The ledger is in her hands, and as soon as Zhang Tianci dies, there is no evidence to prove the case, and Li Daozong's head cannot be found again. Moreover, even if the assassination fails, it can still find out the true intentions and positions of our camp! ”
"Amazing, Li Daozong! He knew that Li Ke and I were sent by the emperor, but he didn't understand what the emperor's intentions were. With so many times and two spies, plus my trip to the palace today, he knows everything well. First, he knew that the case had been thoroughly investigated by us, and it was impossible for him to deny it; Second, he understood that Li Ke and I were willing to help him; Thirdly, he also understood that the emperor was going to take advantage of Jishan's disaster relief and soothe the people, investigate the corrupt officials and corrupt officials on this side to eradicate the roots, and deliberately knocked on the mountain and shocked the tiger to him Jiangxia King and give him a wake-up call! ”
"This is actually a game between the emperor and the king of Jiangxia! Everyone else is a pawn! That's why he didn't accept my affection today and immediately blew me away. On the surface, it was extremely unkind to me, but in fact, it was to express gratitude to me and Li Ke and the intention of protection. Because we secretly helped him with public and private affairs, it is actually tantamount to dereliction of duty, and there is a suspicion of deceiving the emperor, and if it is spread, the crime can be big or small. If it is not expected, he will definitely leave for Chang'an immediately and take the initiative to admit his mistake to the emperor...... What a well-thought-out plan! Li Daozong, it's really not simple! has been hiding behind the scenes and has not made a move, but he has controlled the overall situation thoroughly. and Chen Yan, a woman who is also powerful, has been with her for so long, I really don't know which of her words is true and which is false, and what is the relationship with King Jiangxia. As if everything she said was already questionable. ”
After thinking about it so much, Qin Mubai didn't feel a little upset, and stretched his limbs with a long breath: "I don't want to, sleep!" Anyway, things are almost done, and it's useless to think about it! ”
Half an hour later, Chen Yan walked into the inn. Dressed in black and carrying a sword, she was eye-catching, and the people in the entire inn were paying attention to her. She went straight to the guest room on the second floor, saw two hundred horsemen standing outside a guest room, and walked over.
The two hundred horsemen saw Chen Yan coming and glanced at each other, puzzled in their hearts. Because Qin Mubai said just now that Chen Yan may have stayed in the palace of King Jiangxia as a guest...... That's weird, the hundred horsemen didn't stay, but she Chen Yan stayed?
"Where's your general?" Chen Yan stepped forward and asked coldly as usual.
"The general has slept, you go back to your room to rest." The pawn's reply was also stiff.
"I have something to tell him."
"It's not too late later. The general is tired, do not disturb. ”
"Get out of the way!" Chen Yan snorted.
"Let her in!" Qin Mubai's voice came from inside, and the two hundred cavalry soldiers had no choice but to get out of the way and let her in.
Chen Yan pushed open the door, and glared at the two hundred horsemen when she entered the door: "You guys go far!" ”
The two hundred horsemen laughed at the same time, and walked away obediently. Looking at their facial expressions, it seems to say: lonely men and widows...... What good things to do?
Chen Yan didn't care so much, she dodged in and closed the door, put the sword on the table, and let out a long breath.
Qin Mubai lay on the bed on all fours, pillowed the back of his head with his hands, and closed his eyes to recuperate. Chen Yan glanced at him, a little embarrassed for a while, and didn't know where to start with this topic.
After all, it was he who deceived him and hid too many things from him, and he was a little at a loss.
Qin Mubai just closed his eyes and lay down, without saying a word, all treating her as if she were air.
After sitting for a long time, Chen Yan was embarrassed and annoyed, and simply said: "I have already shown the account book to King Jiangxia, and at that time, King Jiangxia was ready to clean up Zhang Tianci with his own hands, and then go to the emperor to ask for guilt." At that time, you and Li Ke arrived at Jishan on the orders of the emperor, and the king of Jiangxia didn't know what the emperor meant by this, so he sent me to your side to find out the news, but there was no malicious intent. At that time, I saw that you were very close to Zhang Tianci, and I was afraid that Zhang Tianci would bite back and put the blame on the head of the king of Jiangxia at this time, so I took the risk to assassinate him. That's the way it is! ”
After she finished speaking, Qin Mubai still didn't move, lying on the bed as if she was asleep.
"I didn't lie to you about my relationship with Zhu Chengwen, and I didn't know King Jiangxia before I came to Jishan! It was after Zhu Chengwen's death that I took the account book to see the prince, and he was very sad and hit it off with me, and accepted me as a righteous daughter. Chen Yan said as if singing a one-man show, talking to herself, "I didn't mean to hide this from you, but I didn't know the enemy and me at the beginning, especially I didn't know your attitude towards King Jiangxia, so I didn't dare to mistake his big thing." As you said, if there is a contradiction and suspicion between the king of Jiangxia and the emperor, it will be the biggest trouble. So I had to be cautious. It is not until you have seen King Jiangxia express his intentions to him in person and personally show him the account book that I can fully believe you. You're smart, you should be able to understand my feelings. If it were you, you would do the same, wouldn't you? ”
Qin Mubai still didn't say anything, and he also let out a low snoring sound, and it seemed that he was really asleep.
"The man of the little instrument! Narrow-minded! Chen Yan scolded angrily, and suddenly got up and prepared to leave.
"Remember to close the door!" Qin Mubai said behind her, "Your room is next door to me. If you haven't eaten, just tell the shopkeeper to say. ”
For a while, Chen Yan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and whispered: "Pretend to be dead!" He pushed the door open and walked out.
At this time, she seemed to feel that all the burdens on her body were instantly lifted, and the whole person was light.
After taking a long breath, Chen Yan pushed open her door and walked in, sat down on the bed, and pondered silently: Zhu Chengwen, you and I are destined to be fateful, and now we are separated by yin and yang. I have fulfilled your last wish for you, if there is an afterlife...... We'll see you soon!
