"Yes, Li Chongyan, the fake prince, has no enmity with us, neither does the prince next to him, and neither does Cao Feihu who is lying there. However, only by using their deaths can Li Houcong reveal his flaws, and I can make a big deal with Wen Lanli! If you want to blame, you can only blame them for tying their lives to Mu Yun's body in a daze! As for the crown princess......"

Ye Zhiqiu snorted: "Madame doesn't know yet, her father Jinquan is Li Houcong's twin brother, and they are both the sons of Concubine Jing back then!" Like Li Houcong, she has the blood of the Mu Yun clan on her body! Originally, I didn't plan to clean her up today, but Li Chongyan, a fool, actually brought her along, so this opportunity is not to be missed, how could I miss it? Her mother repeatedly refused to allow her to marry Bihai, but she just didn't believe her mother's knowledge, and if she had to marry such a straw bag, her life would be thinner than paper. ”

"You...... You have killed so many people indiscriminately for your so-called plan to restore the country, do you think that if my father is still here, he will sit back and watch you lose his conscience like this?! ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled.

"Your dad will. It is better to say that he knows that I will do whatever it takes to fulfill his wish for him, so he is relieved to hand you over to me. You have this question today, it seems that you still don't understand your father too much. ”

Mrs. Ye shook her head in despair: "You are now mad, you have long forgotten the dignity of your concubine, what am I in your eyes?" Since everyone who stands in your way will be pulled out by you one by one, why don't you just kill me......"

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu heard the words "forget the dignity and humility of the concubine", he suddenly changed his elegant demeanor, his face turned red, he picked up a pot of wine and smashed it against the wall, only to hear the sound of "boom", and immediately smashed it to pieces.

"Humble and humble? You and I are just ants at the feet of the Muyun clan! If the kingdom cannot be restored, how can there be dignity and humility? Hiding in the most remote corner of the southeast of the imperial capital every day, I don't dare to easily approach the palace and the Taishi's Mansion in the west for half a step, I can only get a glimpse of this square inch of the sky, like a prison, where does the humility come from? How can we be humbled to sit back and watch such incompetent people become the kings of the future, and continue to grovel and linger? Isn't that a big joke? Madam, I have not forgotten the dignity of my concubine, but it is precisely because I dare not forget that I have worked so hard to this day! If you really think that I am hateful, if he can accomplish great things one day, then even if you want me to die in front of you immediately after the restoration of the country, to show the dignity and humility of you and me, why not? ”

Mrs. Yip could no longer argue with her husband, she knew that it was like two threads that never intersected and never would ever be.

Suddenly, Chen Qi threw a puzzled look at Ye Zhiqiu, as if he had heard something.

Ye Zhiqiu shouted: "What person, come out!" ”

I saw a brain door appear outside the window, and slowly half of his face was revealed.

Ye Zhiqiu frowned.

How did you forget this guy......

Pei Ran looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a frightened face, and then looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and felt cold in his heart.

I didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to set up this Hongmen banquet today, it's really hell, I broke through.

This is over, this mutton stove is going to eat out of old age.

He tried to squeeze some smiles on his face, but he could only squeeze out a bunch of folds in his heart, and the smile was more frustrating than crying.

"Ye, Lord Ye...... I ......"

Ye Zhiqiu was still as kind as he usually saw, and said with a smile: "Master Pei, it's freezing outside the house, why are you sitting there enjoying the snow?" Why don't you come in and have a drink with me by the fire? ”

Half of the snow house has collapsed, in fact, there is almost no difference between the outside and the inside of the house, it is all cold and windy, but the place near the barbecue is indeed quite warm, after all, there is an open fire.

Where did Pei Ran dare to approach him, not to mention that the body of the crown prince Li Chongyan was not far from the fire, he didn't even dare to look at it anymore, and waved his hand carefully at the moment and said, "This ...... It's snowy here, it's not cold at all, so I'll sit here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a big sneeze.

In fact, he was already frozen, except for a pile of snow on his head and body, and the urine in his crotch and his cotton robe were frozen.

Ye Zhiqiu laughed, and he said loudly: "Uncle Kang! Help the lady back to her room and rest early! Send more subordinates to guard tonight, don't make any mistakes. ”

Uncle Kang responded tremblingly and stepped forward to help the mistress.

Mrs. Ye had a hairpin on her head, and her hair was already scattered, she looked at her husband who didn't care about it, and knew that it was useless to say anything, so she had to shake her head and say, "Zhiqiu...... You will be punished. With that, he dragged his steps out of the snow house with Uncle Kang's hand.

When Ye Zhiqiu heard that, he just smiled faintly.

Retribution? It's just a self-soothing rhetoric.

People freeze to death and starve to death on the street every year, but the sesame oil in the sea lanterns enshrined in front of the Buddha hall has never been exhausted.

Rich people would rather donate money to sesame oil for comfort than give half of it to those who starved to death.

Where is the retribution?

Everyone in this world lives themselves, and when they make a decision to kill, where do they still think about retribution, but they just add a few taels of sesame oil money afterwards.

He picked a small table and placed it by the fire, turned around and found two more glasses to pour wine.

"Master Pei, come, this long night is long, it will take some hours until dawn, let's talk while drinking."

Pei Ran just wanted to find an opportunity to excuse himself, but suddenly saw a fierce light in Chen Qi's eyes beside Ye Zhiqiu, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled into the window and crawled over.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Ye Zhiqiu handed over the wine, and carefully cut some slices of meat from the sheep and put them in front of him.

"Hey, time flies, Master Pei, think about how long it has been since the two of us have been courtiers in the same court?"

Pei Ran saw that he didn't mention the things in front of him at all, but he began to recall the past, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, but he didn't seem to have any plans to kill him immediately, so he was somewhat determined.

"Yes, yes...... Although I am a few years older than Lord Ye, Lord Ye was a well-known talent back then, and he was appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites at a young age, and his days in the court were much longer than mine. How can I ...... How can it be compared to Lord Ye? Pei Ran actually didn't know what he was talking about at all, he just felt that the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be purely instinctive, and he went out without thinking.

"Where, Master Pei, this is humble. As the saying goes, the wind knows the grass. I, Ye someone, have looked at the court coldly over the years, and feel that the facts of Lord Pei are admirable, no matter how Mu Yunzuo of the Taishi Mansion bullied Master Pei back then, Lord Pei can stand tall, just ask the minister of the Taishi Mansion who can bear the Minister of the Taishi Mansion head-on, who else can there be? ”

"This ......" Pei Ran's mind spun fast, and he vaguely heard the conversation between Ye Zhiqiu and Mrs. Ye under the window, saying that he had a grudge against the Mu Yun clan, and secretly thought that Ye Zhiqiu must have hated the Taishi Mansion. Since he was always trampled under Mu Yunzuo's feet at the beginning, he could at least prove that he was also hostile to Mu Yunzuo.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, is it because of this that Ye Zhiqiu didn't kill me with a knife?

Pei Ran decided to test the temptation, and replied: "The Taishi Mansion is arrogant and domineering, which is a big worry in the court, but the tail is too big to fall, and I Pei Ran has no choice but to endure the humiliation, but in fact, it is ...... In fact, it is for the sake of national security! ”

What Pei Ran thought was that Ye Zhiqiu even dared to kill the crown prince, and said that Emperor Wen was also the Muyun clan, so it was best not to show loyalty at the moment and say who he was loyal to, regardless of who was in charge of the country, I was always right for the sake of the country's security.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and poured another cup for him: "Lord Pei said very much, I also like Lord Pei very much, he can not only control the lifeblood of a country like Hubu, but also judge the situation, he is really a rare minister, but it is a pity that Li Houcong ......"

Pei Ran heard him call Emperor Wen by his name, and he was even more sure that he was right, and said perfunctorily: "Lord Ye praises falsely, Pei just knows how to dial a few abacus and read a few accounts, and only thinks that the few taels of silver in the treasury are not enough." To be honest, I Pei Ran is very stupid in the matter of open and secret battles between the DPRK and China, and I can't get involved, so Lord Ye wants to ...... Why don't you let me finish this glass of wine and let me go home? ”

As he spoke, he suddenly put down his wine glass, kowtowed and begged with a bitter face: "Lord Ye, I didn't see anything tonight, I didn't hear anything, I ...... I had just drunk too much to climb out the window. Yes, I was looking at the ducks outside the window, but I fell asleep in a daze, I really didn't see anything, Lord Ye! ”

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing, he pointed to the corpse on the side and said, "Master Pei, you said that you fell asleep outside the window, but now that you are sitting here drinking, don't you see who is lying there?" ”

Pei Ran naturally knew that Ye Zhiqiu was referring to Li Chongyan, so he immediately fell to the ground tightly and buried his face, and only begged bitterly: "I didn't see it, I really didn't see it, I ...... I don't know anything. ”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Pei Ran with a smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Master Pei, I didn't say I wanted your life, why are you so panicked?"

When Pei Ran heard this, he looked up in surprise and asked, "You...... You didn't want to kill me? ”

"Master Pei, do you remember what I said to you on the beacon tower?"

"What?" Pei Ran searched hard in his mind, but he was at a loss.

"At that time, I had just returned from the Bihai envoy, and I talked to Master Pei about the matter that Zhao Wuyun took over after the death of Lu Wenchi, the head of the household department of the Bihai Kingdom, and asked Lord Pei how the matter of mining and coinage was returned to the household department."

"Oh...... Oh, yes, yes, I remember, there was such a thing. ”

"Ye Mou sighed at that time, with Master Pei's talent in warp and weft, don't say that a household, even if you take the household department of the blue sea together, you will definitely be able to cook well......

"Oh, yes, yes. Lord Ye did say it! ”

Pei Ran finally remembered that when he was chatting with Ye Zhiqiu on the beacon tower, Ye Zhiqiu said something for no reason, and at that time he felt quite profound but did not understand its meaning.

Of course, he is still puzzled.
