Chapter 279: Put a fire in exchange for peace

When Liu Ling saw Xue Ze, he was sitting in the hall drinking tea, looking completely leisurely. This person's face is very ordinary, but he has the elegance of a scholar in his gestures. Seeing Liu Ling come in, Xue Ze, who was over half a hundred years old, got up and arched his hand: "Lord Lingweng." ”

"Prime Minister Xue, what kind of wind blew you here?" Liu Ling walked over lightly, his smile turned away, and the sound made the people who heard it couldn't help but feel soft to the ground.

"Lord Lingweng's tea has a unique flavor in Chang'an, I don't taste it for a few days, and the old man is hungry again, so I came to ask for a cup of tea." Xue Ze said with a smile.

Liu Ling and Xue Ze sat opposite each other, "I'm afraid that the tea that the prime minister wants to drink today is not the same as in the past, right?" Which kind of drink does the prime minister want to drink today? ”

"Naturally, it's a good tea for the new arrival." Xue Ze looked at Liu Lingdao.

"Oh? I haven't had any new tea in this hall these days, could it be that the prime minister is better informed than me? Liu Ling chuckled.

Xue Ze shook his head, with an expression that you can't fool me, "Don't you still want to enjoy it exclusively?" The name of this tea is called Qincheng. ”

"What do you mean by that?" When Liu Ling heard this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, and his voice suddenly became cold.

"What do you mean?" Xue Ze snorted coldly, his face turned cold and was the same as Liu Ling, the ability of the two of them to change their faces was like changing masks, clean and neat, "You made such a big move in Chang'an City, and you still want to hide it from the old man?" A fire, more than a dozen lives, and more than a dozen swords at the scene, even His Majesty knows about this now! Master Weng, you're having a lot of fun this time! ”

"The emotional prime minister is here to ask the teacher about the crime?" Liu Ling was unnatural for a moment, and then looked at Xue Ze with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, fake and real.

"Humph!" Xue Ze flicked his sleeves, and his anger did not decrease, "The old man wants to tell Lord Weng that your hand has crossed the line!" Today, Li Guang has stabbed the news of Qin Cheng's disappearance to His Majesty, and His Majesty was furious, and asked the old man in front of all the ministers how to manage the security of Chang'an, and the old man was so ashamed that he was almost embarrassed!

Who is Qin Cheng, and which one of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty is comparable to him now? At this juncture, you actually caused more than a dozen lives to make him disappear in Chang'an! It's stupid! To make such a fuss, the owner still wants to hide it from the old man? The old man might as well say ugly things in front, you have to deal with the aftermath of this incident! ”

"Prime Minister Xue!" Liu Ling interrupted him coldly, "According to what you say, do you want to lose the car and protect the handsome?" Don't forget, we have an agreement! At this time, I'm afraid it's not that easy for you to let go, right?! ”

"Liu Ling, don't threaten the old man!" Even if Xue Ze's cultivation was good, he couldn't help but be angry at this time, and directly called Liu Ling's name, "You have to make it clear that the old man just agreed to cooperate with you at the beginning, suppress Qin Cheng in the court, and resist the momentum of those generals!" You also promised that there would be no leaks! Otherwise, how could the old man join forces with you? Now that you have caused a human death, the dignified second-class general of the imperial court said that he would disappear if he disappeared, have you ever given the old man a pass in advance? You don't think about whether the old man is better in front of His Majesty, why does the old man wipe your ass?! ”

"......" Faced with the accusation of angry Xue Ze, Liu Ling surprisingly did not shout back angrily, but said coldly: "I have already said that the lord of Ben Weng did not kidnap Qin Cheng, let alone kill him!" ”

"Huh!" Xue Ze laughed angrily, "Liu Ling, do you think the old man will believe you?" ”

In fact, Prime Minister Xue really wanted to ask: Ya, can I swear?

"That's the case, the prime minister believes that this is the case, and he doesn't believe it! Now, is it necessary for the Lord to hide anything? Liu Ling's heart turned upside down, and she had already been blown up by those people under her command, but now she wants Xue Ze to wipe her ass, how can she pretend to Xue Ze?

Taking a deep breath, Liu Ling knew that it would be difficult for Xue Ze to believe in himself if he didn't tell the truth at this time, after all, he was the one who suffered the biggest dumb loss, so he said slowly: "At this point, the lord of Ben Weng might as well tell the prime minister directly." Yesterday's action was originally just to invite Qin Cheng to come over and see him, knowing himself and knowing his opponent can survive a hundred battles, and it is always necessary to see him. However, when his subordinates went to do errands, they still underestimated Qin Cheng, this person not only gave birth to a smart mind, but also was very vicious, and directly moved the killer while the people below were unprepared, which led to the more than ten lives! As for the fire, it was not set by the people of the lord of Ben Wen!

Now that everyone is in the same boat, there is no need for the lord to hide it. ”

Of course, Liu Ling would not tell the fact that those people under him were countercalculated by Qin Cheng, his subordinates were so stupid, what brilliance did he have on his master's face? It's just that it doesn't seem to be useful.

Xue Ze's face softened a little after listening to Liu Ling's words, but he still looked skeptical, and after thinking for a while, Xue Ze said: "That fire was not set by your people, so who put it?" ”

Comparatively speaking, this is a problem that Xue Ze is relatively concerned about. Because if there was no sky-high fire, there were only more than ten corpses, if Xue Ze, the prime minister, wanted to hide some things, it would still be okay, for example, there were no swords in the courtyard, and the corpses were not eleven or twelve, but only three or two...... Under normal circumstances, Xue Ze might not take such a big risk to lie about this matter, because the risk is big and the benefits are not enough, but this thing was done by Liu Ling, and Xue Ze also has this reason. But it was because of that fire that everyone knew about it, so that Xue Ze had no way to hide this matter, which was also the fundamental reason why Xue Ze was now in an extremely passive situation!

"The people I sent are all dead, so naturally it won't be my people." Liu Ling said, naturally there was no good tone when he said this.

"Someone who is not the lord of the king, is not it...... Qin Cheng?! Xue Ze pondered.

When he said the words "Qin Cheng", Xue Ze's face suddenly became ugly.

"It can't be!" Originally, when he heard Xue Ze call the words "Lord Weng" instead of "you", Liu Ling's heart relaxed a little, because it meant a change in Xue Ze's attitude, but when he heard Xue Ze say the words "Qincheng", Liu Ling suddenly panicked.

"How could it be?" Xue Ze knew that Liu Ling had also figured this out, and his voice was so cold that people felt chills, "You also said just now, you didn't tie up Qin Cheng, but now Qin Cheng is really missing!" The only explanation is that this is simply Qin Cheng's own intentional disappearance! ”

After Xue Ze finished speaking, his face gradually turned hideous, and his face that was dissatisfied with the wrinkles was extremely distorted.

"How is this possible? How could Qin Cheng have deliberately disappeared?! Liu Ling panicked, almost screaming out. The reason for this gaffe was because she thought of a reason that she absolutely did not want to accept, but it was most likely true.

Xue Ze sneered again and again, "Knowingly ask!" Not to mention, you haven't thought about why Qin Cheng would deliberately disappear by himself!

This Qin Cheng, you and I are too underestimated by him! Didn't the old man give His Majesty an excerpt to impeach Qin Cheng two days ago? Qin Cheng must have already known about this! Before your subordinates take action, maybe Qin Cheng is still thinking about how to deal with the old man's criticism and the excerpts of the ministers who are immediately following the old man's impeachment - don't believe it, according to the current situation, Qin Cheng and this guy may definitely have foreseen this. And your subordinates appeared at the right time, giving Qin Cheng, who couldn't figure out how to deal with it, a ready-made excuse!

The second-rank general of the dignified imperial court, who helped the army defeat the Hun army, forced the military minister Shan Yu to death, and forced the Huns to withdraw from Chahadi, is such a hero, who was assassinated by an unknown figure not long after arriving in Chang'an! And as soon as it came up, there were more than a dozen lives, with swords and swords! If such a thing is known to His Majesty, will His Majesty not be angry? His Majesty was furious, and the old man was responsible for dereliction of duty, and the Manchu Dynasty opposed the ministers who used troops against the Xiongnu, who else would impeach Qin Cheng? Who else would dare to impeach Qin Cheng after this happened? Isn't this a basin on your head! Even if you are the forces of the rivers and lakes, can you dare to come out again to find trouble in Qin Cheng for a year and a half?

Qin Cheng simply burned a fire afterwards, and after disappearing for a few days, he could stir up the water bigger and bigger, and it became more and more muddy! Not to mention how His Majesty did for Qincheng, it was for the thousands of soldiers who fought against the Huns, and we couldn't help but seek a great justice for Qincheng, their outstanding representative! At that time, I don't know how many people will be implicated in this matter, and I don't know how many people will be dismissed from office because of this matter, and even go to prison and lose their lives! In this way, this also means that Qin Cheng no longer has anyone in Chang'an who can deal with him! He can let go of his hands and feet to reorganize the army, in preparation for the next day to fight the Huns, it can be said that this is really a good way to do it once and for all!

And this, just because Qin Cheng took advantage of the situation to set a fire and took the opportunity to disappear for a few days! But you and I have no place to reason, so I can only stretch out my neck and cut it with a knife!

This Qin City is too hateful, too hateful, too hateful! ”

Xue Ze finished speaking in one breath, and finally said three sentences in a row, "It's too hateful", and he was so angry that he slammed the tea bowl.

Liu Ling was already faceless, and he sat there in a daze, as if he had lost more than half of his three souls and seven spirits. After a long time, Liu Ling spoke miserably, "This Qin City, can you really think so far-reaching?" According to my men, he was injured a lot yesterday......"

Xue Ze snorted coldly, and then sighed, "The most surprising thing is that Qin Cheng can still have such careful thinking and decisive skills when he is so seriously injured and in such a mortal situation, he takes this step extremely boldly, because if he is not careful, he may be discovered by you and my people and lose his life!" After a pause, he said, "This person is really ...... It's horrible! ”

"yes...... It's horrible! Liu Ling's eyes were scattered and unfocused, and he muttered subconsciously.

The room fell silent for a while, and both of them were perhaps shocked by Qin Cheng's mind and guts.

Of course, if Qin Cheng, who was still in a coma at this time, heard the conversation between the two, he didn't know if he would wake up laughing and laugh all the scars all over his body.
