Chapter 1406: The Promise Before Leaving Beijing

After a while, the doubts that rose from the bottom of his heart made him can't help but ask the question he had always wanted to ask clearly. "You...... Tell me, what did the third uncle talk to you about? Why...... Why are you all acting so weirdly? ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at Qi Wang, who was gradually becoming anxious, and sighed slowly. "Well, it's not good to keep you in the dark, and it's time to make it clear to you. That's right, when you just left Beijing, your third uncle approached our family and proposed a deal with our family......"

"Deal? What is the deal? Qi Wang's eyes widened.

Could it be that those accusations turned out to be true, Wei Zhongxian bribed the third uncle and turned him from the person who escorted him to his own bodyguard? If that's the case...... That's it......

"He told our family that he felt that this errand was unusual, and that our family might have to worry about their lives on the road, and even he and you might not be able to get out of the way and return to the capital after the errand, so he proposed to our family that he wanted to rely on his own skills to protect our family as much as possible and walk to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum ......safely."

The third uncle didn't feel good at the beginning? Qi Wang felt a little dizzy.

In that case, why didn't he tell himself when he was in Kyori? Still saying no problem? Third uncle, is there anything that needs to be hidden from yourself?

"Our family was very surprised at the time, I didn't expect him to have such insight as a small brocade guard......" When Qi Wang was still indulging in complicated thoughts, Wei Zhongxian continued, "Heh, at the beginning, our family actually didn't have much hope, but later I found out that the two of you are really skilled, but your personalities are too ...... No wonder you can't get out of the Jinyi Guard, and you can't get into the eyes of our family back then. ”

He ...... What did he ask you for? Qi Wang finally reacted at this time, ignoring Wei Zhongxian's chatter, and asked him directly, "What does he want you to give him?" ”

"Everyone in the world is moved by the golden silk, and your third uncle is naturally no exception." Wei Zhongxian just smiled slightly, "He did his best to protect me, and even had to take his life on his back, not for money, but for what?" ”

Qi Wang's heart was surging, and he directly grabbed Wei Zhongxian's neck, and then shook it.

"You talk nonsense! My third uncle is actually such a villain who forgets his righteousness! He's not going to stoop over to be your pawn for money! ”

Wei Zhongxian let the other party shake his body, just smiled and looked at the other party, and there was even a trace of pity in his eyes.

"You're right, your third uncle is indeed not a villain, he asked our family for money, not for himself......"

"It's not for your own ......," Qi Wang repeated in a low voice, and his hand slowly stopped.

He understood.

"That's right, your third uncle wants to make a fortune for you on the condition of escorting our family all the way to Fengyang safely." Wei Zhongxian was still smiling, but he became a little dizzy again because of the other party's shaking just now, "Most of our family's money has been handed over to the imperial court, in order to be used by Yang Ge Lao and them to maintain the imperial court, but there is still a little bit left in the finger cracks after all." This point is nothing to the imperial court, and to him, I'm afraid it's already a huge amount of money for you...... At least you can lose the identity of Jinyiwei, and you can live a decent life elsewhere. ”

"Third Uncle...... The third uncle ...... "After Qi Wang learned the truth, he didn't know what to say.

He was not only heartbroken that the third uncle he had always admired and respected would actually make a deal with Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people, but also secretly grateful that the other party actually loved him so much, and the two opposite thoughts were intertwined, making his already unstable mood even more chaotic recently.

"I hurt the third uncle...... I hurt the third uncle......" After thinking for a moment, tears appeared in the corners of Qi Wang's eyes, "If I hadn't been impulsive, how could I have crashed into the government?" even affected the third uncle, so that he was also regarded as a traitor...... I...... I ......"

"Little brother, don't be angry about this, I said a long time ago, it's a good thing for young people to have blood! It's not up to you, we all know it. Your third uncle is a smart man, he hasn't read much, but he has a talent and vision! Wei Zhongxian sighed softly and enlightened the young man, "Do you know why in the first place, Jinyi Wei only sent the two of you to escort our family?" That's because Jin Yiwei knows that too many people refuse to let go of our family, and sooner or later they will come to ask for our family's things and our family's lives, and they don't want to wade into this muddy water, so they just throw you out! If our family is killed or robbed halfway, you will definitely not be able to do this errand, and then you will not be rebellious? So, from the beginning, you can only be rebellious, and you can't tolerate you, and I don't want to tolerate you. ”

"Da Ming...... Can't tolerate us? Qi Wang's mind became more and more confused, he looked up at Wei Zhongxian, his eyes were full of confusion, "We are loyal to the errand, we have worked tirelessly, and we almost took our lives, and the result is ...... Daming still can't tolerate us? This...... How is this possible! ”

"Little brother, if Daming is a place where you can stand out and protect yourself if you are loyal and diligent, how can you, our family, and even this big tomorrow fall to such a point?" Wei Zhongxian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Little brother, our family praised you just now, and now our family is going to belittle you, you are just like those scholars who read dead books, and you have gone into the dead world!" At this age, it's time to open your eyes and see what's going on in the world...... If it is in peacetime, you will not be able to get out of it at most, but in today's world, you will have to worry about your life! What's more, you will still have a lot of money in your hands in the future, and you must always be careful not to be deceived by ghost tricks......"

As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian reached into the placket of his coat and took out a few pieces of paper from there. "To tell the truth, when our family was in power at that time, it was not that we didn't think that there might be today, so we made some preparations for no more, no less, and hid a little pension money everywhere, preparing to change our name and surname in case of change. But...... On this day, our family's heart has faded, and I don't want to run away, which is really strange! ”

"What ...... this?" Qi Wang looked at the white piece of paper in his hand and asked involuntarily.

"Didn't our family say it, this is one of the places that our family prepared for themselves back then! This place is in Songjiang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a prosperous place! The world is anointed, that is, over there. Wei Zhongxian said as he handed the piece of paper to Qi Wang, "This is written the address of a house, which has a loyal old servant of our family, and there are some silver coins in it. There are also some agreed code cuts written on the paper, and when you get there, you make the cuts with the servants there, and then the house and some of the silver coins and jewels in it are all yours. The house is not big, and there is not much money in it, but I think you can live a long and peaceful life by saving a little money...... In these days, what is more precious than the birthday of An? Take it, live a good life, don't live up to your third uncle's heart! ”

Qi Wang was still staring blankly at the few pages that Wei Zhongxian was holding in his thin hands.

It's these pieces of paper that can be exchanged for the rest of his life - and the third uncle's hard work?

A sense of absurdity flooded his mind.

"Third Uncle...... Why didn't the third uncle explain this to me? He hissed and asked, "Why do you do this alone?" ”

"Why? Isn't that obvious? Wei Zhongxian asked rhetorically, "You are such a straight gut, if you know about this along the way, then you can pay it back?" Originally, he still planned to hide it from you until the day he arrived in Fengyang, and asked our family to help hide it from you, but unfortunately it seems that he can't hide it now, and it's okay, it's not too late for you to know now. ”

"Alright, boy, don't bother, take it." Wei Zhongxian seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and pushed Qi Wang with his hand again, "Originally, our family planned to give it to you after arriving in Fengyang, but now that it's like this, let's leave it at that." Liu Songping did his best to protect our family along the way, so although he was not there and didn't say anything to you, our family didn't intend to break faith in him, you took these, it can be regarded as the whole deal...... You take it, quickly get rid of the pursuers, and then go to Jiangnan, take those properties, don't go back to Beijing for the rest of your life, and don't ask about the world for the rest of your life, it can be regarded as an explanation for your third uncle. ”

"What about you...... What do you do? Qi Wang asked suddenly.

"What should we do?" Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Of course our family still has to go to Fengyang, the Son of Heaven told us to go, can our family not go?" This world is big, and I'm afraid I can't find a way to Fengyang? ”

"This ...... Have you made it all the way? Qi Wang was a little surprised, "You are already like this now, if you don't have our escort, you ...... How to get there? ”

"Just do your best. If you really can't go, it doesn't matter, there are more people who have fallen along the way, are you afraid of one more of our family? Okay, you take these and go first, and we'll leave when we're rested. Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry, "Don't delay the time, if you don't reluctantly get caught by those people, how can you enjoy the good time ahead?" Hurry up! ”

When these pages were stuffed into Qi Wang's hand, Qi Wang subconsciously took them.

His hands were shaking, and the pages were rattling and rattling, and his eyes were painful.

Just forget your background, forget your ambition, take these and run to Jiangnan, will you never ask about the world again? Just throw away the third uncle, throw away the brocade clothes that have been passed down from generation to generation, and hide in a corner that no one knows to survive? Obviously I didn't do anything wrong, why...... Why did it fall into such a field?
