Chapter 275: The Unscrupulous
Qingcheng was upset by Lai Xing'er's mouthful, but he couldn't do anything about this stubborn boy, so he had to follow his words and asked, "What did Qingmang say to you?" How do you know that I have also taken in an apprentice? Say that my apprentice killed your master, do you have any credentials? If you talk nonsense in front of me, I'll take care of Qingmang for you first. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lai Xing'er also asked Jing Zhao to help last night, wanting to use the power of the government to force Qingcheng to enter Beijing and subdue Ying'er, and today he met her in front of the Muwang Mansion, he should have been overjoyed, but for some reason, he didn't have a good impression of the predecessor in front of him. On the contrary, he felt that she was too domineering and willful, and secretly called Qu for the ancestor Qingmang: I think the ancestor must have been confused by her beauty, so he was very affectionate to her, and if he was himself, he would never have a trace of nostalgia for her.
Thinking like this in his heart, Lai Xing'er deliberately deceived Qingcheng and said, "The master has told me everything. Not only do I know that ten years ago, you also accepted an apprentice in Chang'an, but I also know that there is a ten-year covenant between you and your ancestor. May I ask my grandmother, you came to Beijing this time to go to the ten-year appointment, do you want to compete with my master and your apprentice in martial arts? Hey, no. When my ancestor left Chang'an a year ago, he told me that he wanted to go to the bank of Huanhua River in Shudi to look for you, haven't you met? ”
Qingcheng smiled and asked, "If he goes to find me, do I have to see him?" How much do you know about my apprentice? Who is your master, who really died at the hands of my disciples? ”
Lai Xing'er saw that she really didn't know anything about Jing Xuan being Qingmang's apprentice, so she deliberately scared her and said, "My master's name is usually something I don't want to know. Since you are my grandmother, don't worry about it. I might as well tell you the truth, my master is the Empress Zhenyi by the side of the saint today. A year ago, when Chang'an was captured by the Tibetans, just outside the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City of Chang'an, he was killed by your apprentice with a secret weapon. The reason why I call you Grandma today is because you don't know about it. You always know what kind of apprentice you've taken in this time, right? ”
Qingcheng never expected that the apprentice that Senior Brother Qingcheng accepted ten years ago was actually a queen, and he couldn't help but be depressed, and muttered: "He actually accepted a queen as an apprentice, do I have to bow down in front of him in this life?" ”
Lai Xing'er snorted and reminded her: "My master is not only a queen, but also a great hero who saves the country in danger, unlike what you accepted, but a poisonous snake that only hides in the dark and hurts people. ”
"Let me ask you again, how did you know that your master was killed by my apprentice?" Qingcheng raised his eyebrows upward, and asked Lai Xing'er a little angrily.
"Senior Lady, is the apprentice you took in habitually using a bone-piercing nail as a hidden weapon? Is she a woman, and she is also a person close to the emperor? Lai Xing'er stared at Qingcheng with both eyes, trying to confirm from her reaction whether Sakura was the apprentice she had accepted.
"Haha," Qingcheng let out a sharp laugh and pointed at Lai Xing'er and said, "It's really worthy of being a good apprentice accepted by Qingmang, and even this self-righteous style is very similar to him." Where are the more people in the world who use the bone piercing nail as a hidden weapon, and you judge her as my apprentice based on this alone, isn't it too ridiculous? As for saying that she is also the same as your master, she is a person next to the emperor, I tell you honestly, I don't have the ability of your master, and I can be the queen by accepting an apprentice casually. This is even more wrong. It seems that if I hadn't come to you today, you would still regard your uncle as an enemy. ”
Lai Xing'er listened to her explain with a smile, her heart sank first, and then she thought of something, so she also responded to Qingcheng with a smile: "Grandma, don't laugh at me first, this apprentice you accepted is a woman, this can't be wrong, right?" Ten years ago, when you accepted her as an apprentice, she was still a seven or eight-year-old child, how could she be someone close to the emperor, but I knew that she was in the prince's east palace at that time, right? ”
This time, Qingcheng couldn't laugh at all, her eyes widened, and she looked at Lai Xing'er with an unbelievable gaze, and after a long time, she asked, "So, is it really her who assassinated your master?" No, how could she, such a dignified and quiet child, hide in the dark and hurt people's lives with unprovoked dark weapons? Tell me, son, what is this for? ”
Lai Xing'er saw Qingcheng's face change, and said secretly in her heart: Look at her expression, it seems that she doesn't know what Sakura is doing. If that's the case, she came to Beijing this time, and she might be able to do her a great favor invisibly. So, he slowed down his tone and said to Qingcheng: "Grandma, forgive me for talking too much, may I ask, when you accepted this apprentice, did you know her origin, how did you choose her to be your apprentice?" ”
Qingcheng glanced at Lai Xing'er, endured the unhappiness of being interrogated by the juniors, and replied: "I chose her to teach martial arts, mainly because she was born with strange bones, which is a rare material for practicing martial arts. As for her origins, I only heard that she was born into the world, an orphan with no father and no mother, and was adopted by a kind grandmother, and I don't know anything else. Is there any secret about her origins? ”
Hearing this, Lai Xing'er could basically conclude that Sakura was the apprentice that Qingcheng had accepted ten years ago. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to be open and honest with Qingcheng about everything Sakura had done.
"Senior Lady, do you know that the apprentice you accepted back then was not an orphan, but a nail that someone carefully planned and buried deep beside the prince of the East Palace. Not only did she assassinate the mother who was loyal to the country, but she was also my master, and she also held a grudge against me for assassinating Zhang Liang, the leader of the remnants of the Zhang family, on the spot, and wanted to assassinate me several times. Not only that, but just a few months ago, in order to avoid investigation, she also killed the righteous son of the grandmother who raised her. Do you know all about this kind of perverseness? ”
"What? You say that my apprentice, she is an informant who is ambushed by others in the East Palace? It's strange that every time I come to Beijing to teach her martial arts, I look at her little person, always as if she is full of thoughts, but I didn't expect that I chose her out of thousands of choices, which is really a creation and a trick. Qingcheng listened to Xing'er's words and sighed.
Lai Xing'er listened to the meaning of her words, and was obviously dissatisfied with Ying'er, and secretly happy in her heart, so she made a request to Qingcheng while the iron was hot: "Today, I am fortunate to meet my grandmother to enter Beijing, and I hope that my grandmother can uphold justice for my master, take down this unscrupulous disciple with her own hands, and hate my master and all the people who died tragically under her hands."
