readx;?readx; Chapter 306 I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
Qinghe Park covers a large area, and only one-fifth of the northern side has houses built. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe rest is a large open space and a few lonely cottages. These huts were the outposts of the night guards, and were often deserted during the day.
Outside a hut in the southeast corner today, there were more than a dozen heavily armed black-clad guards. Although the expressions of these guards were as cold as ever, there was still a trace of complexity between their eyebrows, showing the waves in their hearts.
They caught an inner ghost, although as the prince's personal guard, they cleared out the spies lurking in the palace countless times. Except for the black-clothed guards, almost all the teams have found spies, and this is what they are most proud of - loyalty, infinite loyalty to the prince.
But just yesterday, their pride was shattered, because the inner demon came from among them, and the pure banner of the black-clothed guard was painted with a stain that could never be erased. Their annoyance and sadness can be imagined.
But they were a little unbearable, after all, it was a brother who ate in a pot with them and slept in the same room, even if he hated it, could he bear to see him fall into the palace of Hades.
A heavy footstep sounded, and the black-clothed guards finally ended their inner tormentβthe prince came, and all the decisions were made to him alone, and all the pain was borne by him alone.
Qin Lei had already changed out of his court clothes, wearing an ordinary black-clothed guard casual clothes, with a gloomy face and heavy steps. Shen Qing, Shen Bing, and Yu Qian also had solemn faces, pressed the handle of the knife with their backhands, and followed behind the prince unhurriedly.
This oppressive and murderous atmosphere frightened Qiao Tiancai, although he was not small, but he had never seen this kind of scene, and wanted to run away, but he was worried about Qin Lei's words: 'If you don't leave me for a day, if you can't stand it, you will die as far as you want." The heart said: "The most important thing is to save face, if you run away like this, you will no longer have the face to roam the rivers and lakes." So he followed Qin Lei to the front of the hut.
"Inside?" Qin Lei asked calmly, "Have you used the torture?" β
The black-clothed guard at the door saluted respectfully and said, "Inside, there is no use of torture." β
Qin Lei nodded, strode to the door, and reached out to push the wooden door. As soon as his fingers touched the door panel, he suddenly felt that his right hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it was very difficult to move an inch forward. I pushed open the door and sent away a brother. He said helplessly in his heart: "I hope that the brothers can have a decent ending......
Shen Qing behind him, knowing the entanglement in the prince's heart, stood quietly behind him, waiting for the prince's decision.
A gust of north wind blew, blowing down some snow from the trees, and landed on the back of Qin Lei's hand, and the cold feeling suddenly reached his heart, and the door was also pushed open by him......
The light fell into the hut with the sound of the door opening, causing the man tied to the chair to squint.
When his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a figure that he most wanted to see and the least dared to see. His throat shook violently a few times, and he hung his head deeply.
"Raise your head!" As soon as he pushed open the door, the hesitation in Qin Lei's heart vanished, and he returned to his former seriousness: "Have you been depressed?" The lone soldier should always hold his head high! β
Hearing the familiar scolding, the body of the man in the chair trembled even more, but he still raised his head obediently. The face of a young man with deep-set eyes, a haggard face, and a scruffy beard came into Qin Lei's eyes.
Looking at his former personal guard, he was haggard in just one day. Qin Lei sighed lightly and said to Shen Bing, who followed up, "Let go." β
Shen Bing snorted coldly, pulled out the short blade on his waist, shook his hand and flew out, the flying knife cut the rope that bound the man, and stuck it on the wooden wall opposite, trembling. Although he had retired from the Black Guard, he was the most annoyed among these people, because this person was the one who entered the Black Guard when he was the chief of the guard, and he was trained and raised under him, and even the 'qualified' seal on this person's certificate was stamped by his own hands.
As soon as the rope was released, the man didn't have time to move his sore arms, so he knelt down with a puff and said on the ground: "Qin Wei is ashamed of the prince......
This person is indeed Qin Wei. That day, Le Buyi made a trick and made a clever plan for Qin Lei, just to let Qin Lei fall out. But there is no such thing as a good idea, because the situation is changing quickly and varied, and it is all up to the moment. No matter how strong Le Buyi is, he will never use a bullshit strategy to restrain Qin Lei's judgment at that time.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if there is any plan, can't you say it in person? Therefore, Le Buyi set up this bureau just to arouse the gluttony of the ghosts inside, and really frightened Qin Wei.
Qin Lei deliberately left the bag in the room that day, but hid Yu Qian in the cabinet. Yu Qian saw the scene of Qin Wei reciting the contents of the letter, and later arrested him in one fell swoop after he sent the news.
The evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to argue. So when Yu Qian asked, Qin Wei poured beans into a bamboo tube and explained everything. The only requirement is that I want to see the prince again.
Qin Lei sat down at the table and said calmly: "Sit up and talk, the Lone King is here to talk to you." β
Qin Wei lay on the ground and rubbed for a while, then he got up and stood beside Qin Lei with his head down.
"Sit down." Qin Lei said softly.
Qin Wei shook his head, not daring to sit on an equal footing with the prince.
"Sit!" Qin Lei felt irritable in his heart, slammed the table, and shouted.
Qin Wei was so frightened that he trembled all over, and sat on the stool under him.
Yu Qian and Qiao Tiancai also entered the house with a food box, and brought the steaming dishes in the food box to the table, and after a while, the small table was full, but the dishes in the food box were only half served.
Qiao was just about to close the lid of the food box, and Qin Lei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Take out that vinegared fish fillet." Qiao Tiancai was confused, but how dare he gag, just do it quickly.
But the tip of Qin Wei's heart was pinched fiercely - when he was in the south, he once said to Qin Lei that what he wanted to eat most was the vinegared fish fillet from Sanweiju in the south of the central capital. I didn't expect the prince to still remember it......
The tears that had been holding back were pouring down, fear, shame, sadness, gratitude...... Countless emotions poured out of his eyes, and he had to cover his cheeks tightly with his hands to avoid crying.
The corners of Qin Lei's eyes were also moist, his eyes were red, and a teardrop rolled down from his eyes. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, then picked up the wine cup and raised his head to drink the spirits, only to suppress the sourness in his heart.
Qin Lei waved his hand and asked everyone to withdraw, leaving only Qiao Tiancai, who Qin Wei didn't know, to serve. Raising his head and squeezing his eyes, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath with the smell of wine, and Qin Lei said astringently: "You are a soldier of the sixteenth year of Zhaowu, and you came to me with Qin Surabaya." β
Qin Wei nodded without crying, tears seeping out of his fingers and flowing down the back of his hand into his sleeve.
Lifting the wine jug and pouring a cup for Qin Wei with his own hands, Qin Lei said with nostalgia in his eyes: "I remember when I first arrived at the grassland, you were still a gentleman, stealing and playing tricks all day long, pretending to be sick and deceitful. The ability is sparse and fucked, which is worse than the crown prince of Huangfu Zhanwen. If it weren't for your brother's sake, Lao Tzu would have kicked you back to the Central Capital. In the end, the corners of Qin Lei's mouth curled slightly, obviously immersed in memories.
This made Qiao Tiancai, who was waiting on the side, frightened, and said in his heart: "If this person takes the opportunity to make trouble, I will never be able to resist it." Why is my brother-in-law so big? He couldn't understand the feelings between Qin Lei and the black-clothed guard.
Qiao Tiancai peeked in, but saw that Qin Wei, who made him afraid of inexplicability, had no intention of hurting people at all, and it seemed that he was also caught in the remembrance of the past.
I saw Qin Wei smile embarrassedly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and hissed: "At that time, the prince hated iron and steel, and he didn't put me to death. He cleared his throat again, straightened his chest and said: "But after my subordinates survived that half a year, they were also reborn, and all the assessments were excellent, and they became a qualified black-clothed ......" As he spoke, he suddenly thought of what he had done, but he was shameless to mention the black-clothed guard again.
Qin Lei shook his head and said: "Meritorious service, meritorious service, you were indeed very good at that time, and you were a qualified black-clothed guard, which no one can erase." β
Qin Wei nodded gratefully, and then heard Qin Lei smile gently: "Shouldn't you give your instructor a glass and thank me for my strict discipline?" β
Qin Wei hurriedly responded, picked up the wine cup with both hands, and arched his hand to Qin Lei: "Thank you, instructor!" Qin Lei also raised his wine glass, touched him lightly, and the two of them raised their heads and drank it. Qiao Tiancai hurriedly filled it again.
Qin Lei raised his chopsticks and beckoned him: "These are all your favorite dishes, let's go, don't get cold." Qin Wei saw Qin Lei holding chopsticks and waiting for him, his heart trembled suddenly, as if the blood in his whole body was concentrated in his heart, his limbs went weak for a while, and he almost fell off the chair.
Except for those limited number of people, who else in the world can move chopsticks in front of the prince? Now the prince refuses to get off the chopstick, and he has to wait for him to use it first, what does this mean? 'Guillotine rice' is undoubted.
Although I know that I will not escape death, but when I really face it, anyone will collapse......
Seeing his trembling appearance, Qin Lei said softly: "You often say: 'If there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, let him be unlucky tomorrow.'" "The lonely king will accompany you to finish this meal first." β
Nodding his head with difficulty, Qin Wei trembled and lifted the chopstick, picked up a piece of vinegared fish fillet, and was about to retrieve it, but the fish slice fell back into the plate with a snap. After going back and forth three times, he put the golden fillet into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
In the past, he salivated when he thought about it, but now it tastes like chewing wax, and he can't eat anything at all, but he still chews and swallows it very seriously......
Seeing him move his chopsticks, Qin Lei put a piece of yuba into his mouth, but he couldn't taste it at all, and after barely swallowing it, he raised the wine cup and said: "In the winter of the sixteenth year of Zhaowu, Gu Gucheng was assassinated outside the mansion, and you were in the rescue team, and you used your body to cover the lonely king, and Gu wanted to give you a cup." β
Qin Wei raised his wine glass and drank it with tears in his eyes. Listen to Qin Lei again: "It's still that year, in Taozhu Street, the lonely king was pointed at by the bow of the Tiance army again, and it was you and the robes, who used their bodies to cover the lonely king, and the lonely had to give you a cup." β
Qin Wei drank this cup again, looked at the prince with teary eyes, and listened to him continue: "After that, you have been following Gu's side, whether it is in the central capital, going to the south, whether it is in Jingzhou City, or by the Xiangyang Lake Water Village; Whether it was on the way to inspect Shannan, or on the way to be pursued and killed by the Broken Army; Whether it was in the process of ambushing the bloody killing, or in the action to retaliate against the Li family, you did not leave the lone king one step. You have accompanied the lonely king through the most difficult period, and you can really say that you will never give up, life and death together. The lonely king toasts you for the third cup. β
Qin Wei drank this cup with tears in his eyes, and he realized that he had never looked back on the bloody journey and green years that he had accompanied the prince, maybe he would not have fallen into this day if he thought of these earlier.
Qin Lei's tears also swirled in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said astringently: "When we return to Zhongdu, the situation in our palace is much better, everything is thriving and flourishing, and you have also been promoted to squadron leader, and after Shi Dang left office, you became the personal guard of the Lone King." As he spoke, he glanced up at him and asked in confusion, "You don't know what the personal guard of the Lone King means, do you?" β
Qin Wei nodded vigorously and sobbed: "The officer that the prince focuses on cultivating. β
Qin Lei glanced at him and said, "Yes, you are smart, unforgettable, extremely perceptive, and can quickly get started with all kinds of subjects." And in the past battles, sacrificing life and forgetting death, saying that you are both wise and brave is not flattery, it is indeed worth focusing on cultivating. Qin Wei sat up straight with a slight excitement, it was worth being happy to be praised by the prince no matter what time it was.
I heard Qin Lei say softly: "The first personal guard of the Lone King is Tie Ying, and now he is the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, and he is only one step away from the general; The second personal guard is Shen Qing, who is now one of the three giants under the Lone King, on an equal footing with Yang Wenyu Huangfu Zhanwen, and even Shi Yong is willing to live in the palace army; The third is Shen Bing, who knows best how he is now; The fourth is Qin Surabaya, this old guy is the most unlucky, but the lone king still arranges him as the head of the craftsman department according to his wishes, responsible for the research and development of the palace's equipment; The fifth is your prefect Shi Kang, although he is now trapped in the Hot Spring Palace, but it is the place where the Lone King is most concerned, and only he can reassure me. As for his future, he will never be worse than Shen Bing. β
counted the personal guards of the past two years, and finally it was Qin Wei's turn to be the sixth. Although there was no future, Qin Wei still couldn't help but say bitterly: "If you don't stumble, your subordinates will definitely become one of the generals under the command of the prince." β
But he heard Qin Lei say in a deep voice: "Do you think that if you become the personal guard of the Lone King, you will definitely soar?" You couldn't be more wrong! As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the table, lest he lose control of his anger and slap the table.
I only heard Qin Lei say angrily: "Since I returned to Zhongdu, I have found that you are impetuous, unscrupulous, and all the thoughts you originally put into studying subjects are all used to meet the horses and fly camps!" β
Qin Lei clenched his fists, looked at Qin Wei's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, I planned to let Shi Meng come back to Lone's side first. But seeing you standing on the edge of the cliff, how could the lonely king not pull you? That's why I put you on the top of the stone, and beat it from time to time, hoping that you can wake up, clamp your tail and be a man, so that you can bear the burden that belongs to you in the future. β
Saying that, he finally couldn't help but be angry: "But your eyes have grown to the top of your head, and you turn a blind eye to the side knocks of the lonely king, once the lonely king speaks more seriously, you are still full of dissatisfaction, holding grudges, what do you think?" Do you have a conscience that dogs eat it? β
Qin Wei knelt down and sobbed on the ground: "After I came back this year, my mother told me a few family things, and the woman thought I was a Qiu Ba, and she was not even allowed to go on a blind date. Although my mother has climbed high, if I am a big official, they will climb high. β
Qin Lei frowned and said, "So you're busy drilling upwards?" If you find that you can't go up here, go to those eagle dogs for help? β
Qin Wei shook his head and said in a low voice: "They took the initiative to find me, saying that they admired the prince's way of leading troops, as long as I can copy a copy of your handouts to them, I will be filial piety, take off this military uniform, and go to be the prefect." At that time, the prince didn't give me a good face all day long, and I thought about it, thinking that although this violated military regulations, it could not cause harm to the prince, so I agreed in a daze. He cried bitterly: "Who knew that these people used this thing as a handle to blackmail me into continuing to provide information......
