Chapter 58 Narrow Road Encounter
Qin Fei sighed and said, "Uncle Ma is a fine work, but not a thousand snows. Qianrenxue is a frost moon, and Liu Xiwei, who is unintentional, has long known about this. It's a pity that Liu Xiwei was conceited and smart, but in the end, he was put on the table, and even his life was put on the line. β
Wu Buwei said: "How can you tell that Uncle Ma is not Qianrenxue?" β
Qin Fei said: "Because while I put the poison of the White Tiger Gate on the parchment roll, I also smeared the ordinary poison on the ribbon that was sandwiched in the box. Uncle Ma had two poisoning reactions at that time, if he was from Baihumen, how could he not be aware of the bottle of ordinary poison at all? β
Wu Buwei said approvingly: "Qin Fei, your cleverness makes me have to be jealous. β
Xiang Chonghua said: "No, it's impossible. How could Qian Lingxue, the third master of the White Tiger Gate, be imprisoned in the mansion by a mere Liu Xixuan? β
Qin Fei said: "With Shuangyue's martial arts and methods, naturally he will not really be trapped by Liu Xixuan. She pretended to be imprisoned, probably just to attract people's eyes and ears, and secretly plotted her real plan. β
Xiang Chonghua said: "What plan? β
Qin Fei said: "Let Liu Xiwei and Liu Xiwei kill each other first, and then kill Liu Xiwei after he becomes the prince, so that Liu Xiqian will benefit from the fisherman." β
Xiang Chonghua said: "Why did Frost Moon do this? Could it be that she has a love for Liu Xiqian? β
Wu Buwei said coldly: "Liu Xiqian is just a straw bale, how can he be worthy of the favor of Frost Moon?" Liu Xiwei and Liu Xiqian both have a certain amount of power in the DPRK, and their think tanks are also elites, no matter who is in power, it is enough to maintain the stability of the Qi State. But if Liu Xiqian, who has no support and no talent, becomes the crown prince, the Qi State will definitely fall into civil strife. All she wanted was to cause civil strife in the Qi Kingdom. β
Xiang Chonghua said: "Why did Frost Moon do this? β
Qin Fei said: "Because only in this way will the Qi State have no time to take care of the Jiang State." If I'm not mistaken, Brother Wu's biological grandfather should be Jiang Guo's Xiangguo You Weide. Qi Guotian hunting ceremony, Jiang Guo's envoy is not an ordinary minister, but the confidant general of King Jiang who controls the power of soldiers and horses, which has the meaning of transferring the tiger from the mountain. It can be seen that the crown prince of Jiang State has long been ready to move on the throne, I'm afraid that he has already forced the palace now, right? Shuangyue is estimated to have made an agreement with the prince of Jiang Guo, if she can make Qi's internal turmoil and let the prince of Jiang Guo usurp the throne smoothly, the prince of Jiang Guo will wipe out You Weide and avenge Shuangyue. β
Xiang Chonghua said: "So, this is a chess game between you and Shuangyue from the beginning. She pretended to be poisoned in front of us, and she deliberately led the Baihumen people who chased and killed us along the way, just to test our ability to help her achieve her goals. β
Qin Fei nodded and said, "Eight, nine is not far from ten." β
Wu Buwei said: "Actually, I didn't know about it at first. At that time, the reason why I hunted you down with them was only because Frost Moon also had a token that could command the people of the White Tiger Gate in the mezzanine of the box where the Crab Treasure Jade was placed. It wasn't until I received a letter from her when I went to Jiang Guo to look for her that I learned about the whole plan. β
Qin Fei said: "That day I was in Zangchun, the man in white who was with Xiao Xian in the pavilion was actually Shuangyue, she went to see Xiao Xian naturally to talk about the coup d'Γ©tat of Jiang Guo, and Brother Wu was on the side to take care of her. You deliberately stood in front of me to keep me from seeing her, right? Although Shuangyue said that she had never been to the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, the remaining spices unique to the Tibetan Incense Pavilion betrayed her. β
Wu Buwei nodded and said, "You're right again." β
Xiang Chonghua frowned and said, "It turns out that Xiao Xian is a meticulous work sent by the general's side. The general and his entourage are probably more than lucky now. No wonder you want me to ask Zhao Yi to defect to Hangul, and you must not go back. β
Qin Fei said: "And the prince's secret letter in the imperial study, I'm afraid it was also stuffed into the scroll by Brother Wu when he was in chaos." Naturally, that letter was not written by the prince. I have seen the Prince's handwriting in the Prince's study, and although it is almost identical, it is slightly different in the way it is written. Frost Moon is not only literate, but also a master of imitating handwriting. I am afraid that the letter came from her handwriting. I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but it was only a matter of the past two days. At that time, she had already completed all the arrangements, and even if she wanted to stop her, she was afraid that it would be too late. β
Wu Buwei sighed and said, "Qin Fei, you are definitely a terrible opponent. β
Xiang Chonghua said angrily: "I treat you as a friend in vain, but you use us like this." β
Wu Buwei said: "No matter what you think, Wu Buwei still regards the two as close friends." I hid these things from you only because I promised to do three things for her. β
Xiang Chonghua said coldly: "The third thing is to kill Qin Fei and get rid of the troubles forever?" β
Wu Buwei said: "Frost Moon did mean this, but I only promised to watch you for her and not let Qin Fei disturb the situation." As I said, even if Qianrenxue wants to harm you, I will never agree. Stretched out his hand and said: "Early tomorrow morning, the responsibility for killing Liu Xiwei will be put on the head of Wu Zhenyin, who once served under the prince." Frost Moon should be taking care of the final business now. I've already arranged a retreat for you, so let's go! β
Xiang Chonghua couldn't help but hesitate a little, Qin Fei grabbed his hand with one hand, and pulled Wu Buwei with the other and said, "Please Brother Wu." β
Wu Buwei glanced at Qin Fei gratefully, and took the two of them out of the secret passage to catch up with Chen Jie and the others, and escaped along the mountain road together.
Time passed silently, but the sky did not get brighter as usual, and the cold wind blew more and more fiercely. Qin Fei glanced at the sky and said, "It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight." I'm afraid it's going to rain on this day. β
Wu Buwei said: "Hold on a little longer, and you will be safe as soon as you arrive at the dock." β
Xiang Chonghua suddenly felt a sense in his heart and said, "Brother Wu, is there a fork in the road near here that leads to Wu Zhenyin's private house?" β
Wu Buwei said: "Yes, there is one, but by the time they finish taking care of the affairs over there, we will have already run away." β
Qin Fei's face changed, and he said, "What if they start early?" Brother Wu, does Frost Moon really trust you that much? β
Wu Buwei's face also changed, and he said to himself: "Frost Moon, do you really want to kill them all?" He stopped and said to Xiang Chonghua: "What did you sense?" β
Xiang Chonghua said with a heavy face: "There are chasing soldiers rushing here. He closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed, "From the direction over there." β
Wu Buwei said decisively: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways. He took out a map and unfolded it: "Chonghua, you and I have the fastest body, Chen Jie and I will rush to the dock to take a boat first, you take Qin Fei to run this way to lead away the enemy, and jump off the cliff as soon as we give the signal." With your current cultivation, you should be able to land in the ship accurately. This gives you the best chance of escaping. β
Xiang Chonghua rolled up the map and said, "Okay." β
Wu Buwei pulled Chen Jie with one hand and Sun Zhe with the other, and his figure was not affected at all, but much faster than Xiang Chonghua.
Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei ran for half an hour, then suddenly stopped, took out a dagger and handed it to Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and said in a deep voice: "Is it that Frost Moon is coming?" β
Xiang Chonghua said: "After all, she is a woman, I'm afraid she still can't help me." You go first! β
Qin Fei handed the medicine bottle that could trigger 'memories of the past' to Xiang Chonghua and said, "Now you can't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, don't be soft when it's time to make a move." β
Xiang Chonghua said: "I have my own measure. On the contrary, you must follow the main road and don't get lost! β
Qin Fei looked closely into his eyes and said, "Don't forget that you promised me that you would make me the prime minister of the world!" β
Xiang Chonghua nodded vigorously, pulled out the heavy sword with one hand, and clasped the hidden weapon with the other hand and was ready to go. Qin Fei gritted his teeth and took the map in Xiang Chonghua's hand, turned around and ran down the main road. I don't know how long he ran, Qin Fei only felt that his chest was almost breathless, he stopped and gasped a few times, and unfolded the map to see where he saw. There was a sudden sigh in the wind, and he was startled, and the map was swept up in the wind and fell off the cliff.
Qin Fei's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he reached out and pressed it on the dagger while listening carefully. All around is the sound of the wind and the faint sound of running water, where is there any sigh? He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to sit down to rest, when a sigh suddenly sounded again, much closer than just now, almost close in front of him. Qin Fei ran away, but the sigh followed him closely behind him like a shadow.
The wind and sand and dust were entangled in darkness, and when I looked up, I could barely see the narrow mountain roads hovering between the cliffs, and I could not distinguish between cattle and horses. The sound of boiling water came from under the cliffs, roaring in the gap between the wind, and the earth shook with a sound. Qin Fei only felt that if his legs were numb, he would have fallen to the ground. Cold sweat soaked through his clothes, and the sticky coolness was blown by the wind, becoming the only consciousness outside of fear.
A white cloud loomed into view. Qin Fei's heart was cold, but the familiar figure of Frost Moon became clearer and clearer like a crescent moon emerging from the dark clouds.
