Chapter 51: The Ghost's Dilemma
Recalling the past, he, the young master, who was more humble than a slave, sat alone in the courtyard rubbing the cracked washboard, although he had the life of a young master, but lived the life of a slave, and those slaves outside lived a life like a pig, sleeping all day long, eating and sleeping, and I don't know who was a slave?
hired some slaves and maids, cleaned up the already shabby broken yard, removed the dust, worse than a general rich and noble family, the appearance is very high-end and high-grade, but into the inside, it is poor and white, except for a small broken table with missing legs, plus a broken wooden lump made of unformed stools, plus a thin bed board, there is nothing else.
The cotton wool on top has long been gnawed by rats to the left, and the residue of the east and west is left. There are also several cup-sized holes in the roof, which seem to have been polished by whetstones, and the traces of man-made are particularly obvious. The hole was aimed at the bed board that was cushioned by large stones, and it had been pierced by the long-lasting rain, which was embarrassing.
Ma Wen and the others were also eye-opening, they had never seen such a cold young master? Ning Que didn't care, and found someone to renovate the house, place the furniture, and rearrange the small courtyard, which had a new atmosphere.
As for everyone, they can only return to the inn and stay for the time being.
......
A remote mountain villa, the walls have been peeled off layer after layer, and it looks a little dilapidated. But the flowers inside are blooming, colorful, and the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, and the concubine Yue is sitting in the garden, and the ghost on one side is biting her lip tightly, her eyes are full of tears.
"Qi'er, don't be sad, there is no hurdle in this world that can't be passed, that kid doesn't know what to do, and he breaks off his love, you don't have to be sincere, it's okay, so as not to increase sadness in the future. However, in the current situation, you have to firmly grasp him and use him to draw out the Tranquility Divine Power, and we can make the next move to determine the situation. "Concubine Yue comforted on the one hand, and calculated on the other.
Ghost Ling'er is getting more and more disappointed, the former self, carefree, running back and forth between the palace and the ghost sect, can be regarded as comfortable. But with the decision of his father two years ago, he entered the Tai Killing Hall alone, even if he worshipped his second aunt as a teacher, but because of his mission, he suppressed his heart and became a ruthless and unrighteous killer, and the defeat some time ago, not only his father was disappointed, but even the queen mother was quite complaining, and there was no less blame behind it.
And now, Concubine Yue is calculating step by step, and even she has become a pawn in her hands, in order to achieve her goal, she is unscrupulous, crazy enough to let herself be hypocritical, betray herself, marry Ning Que, and take the opportunity to win over Ning Shentong, so as to borrow the momentum of the Ning family and win back the defeat of Platform County.
The ghost was speechless.
At this moment, she found that in the eyes of Emperor Yue, there was a deep madness, the desire for power, the thirst for the golden dragon throne, at all costs, as for herself and her brother, they were just tools in her eyes.
"Qi'er, do you understand?" Princess Yue looked at the distracted ghost, and her tone was a few points heavier. Ghost Ling'er said in a trance: "Ah, Queen Mother, I don't understand, my uncle's power is not small, plus the Ghost Sect, it is enough to deal with those small children, why bother."
If you want to make compromises, you must help the Ning family?"
Concubine Yue's voice was a little louder, and she said: "Qi'er, there are some things you don't understand, just like Platform County, didn't the original elite Netherworld Army also be buried on the Qingyan River? Do you think this matter is so simple? On the surface, it is calm, but in fact it is weird, not to mention, you also know a little bit about the power of the Ning family in Qinghe County, if you make a move, do you think that without the Netherworld Army, I can fight with the power of the Marquis of Qingyue alone? This is not the City Lord's Mansion, and you don't know the sluts in the palace, what kind of goods are they? This city lord and us are not of the same mind, plus those intricate forces are stirring up, the Xuan family of the Long family not far away, which one is a vegetarian? If there are more than 1,000 people, no one will dare to blatantly chase and intercept them, but now that I have no wings, I am a toothless tiger, in a dilemma, only by relying on the Ning family, can I successfully win the treasure. ”
Ghost Ling'er was indifferent, with the current situation, those high-level powerhouses had already spread all over Qingyue County, stirring up the peace of Qingyue County, and they were always on the lookout, and even those who were bold and reckless, deliberately caused trouble and forced Emperor Yue to show up. And the Marquis of Qingyue had already sent messages several times to explain the situation, and under pressure, he couldn't draw troops at all. What's more, if the movement is too loud and attracts those who are greedy, the situation will be even worse.
Now, only the Ning family can suppress one side by mobilizing troops, and the head snake is the head snake after all, even if all directions gather, it can keep one side safe.
"Can the Ning family suppress these carp crossing the river?" "Ghost Ling'er came to Qinghe County, and he also had a spectrum of the situation in Qinghe County, feeling that the Ning family was declining day by day, and there was no prosperity in the past.
Concubine Yue smiled proudly, "Qi'er, you are still too young, do you think that the Four Lords and Eight Families of the Great Jin Dynasty are just a title and a title? The Ning family, first, there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and second, there is no mutiny and splitting, just a small fight of the Fu family, even if the branches and leaves of the leafy trees are unloaded and cut the leaves and pick the fruits little by little over the years, it is difficult to shake the fundamentals. Isn't the recent transfer the best proof of this?"
Ghost Ling'er nodded, and shook her head again, her mother was too powerful, and she actually let herself use the beauty trick to commit herself to Ning Que, and use this as a bargaining chip to force the Ning family to marry herself, and intervene sideways, when the Yue Imperial Concubine was in trouble, the Ning family had to be involved in this matter and help the Yue Imperial Concubine.
Although this plan is good, he also likes Ning Que very much, but what is the difference between this and selling himself? Besides, Ning Que has always been a little wary of himself, minding, and ignoring it, as if there is a faint barrier. The mother added fuel to the fire again, making it difficult for herself to be caught in the middle.
"Qi'er, I know your intentions to make such a decision, I am now on the fire, your brother is the prince, the matter of seizing the heir is imperative, one is lost, and one is prosperous. If your brother fails to win the heir, it is not just as simple as being reduced to 108,000 miles away, the battle for the heir thirty years ago was bloody and bloody, and there are only a handful of your imperial uncles who are still alive. Again, it's not just you and I who suffer
Implicated, when the entire Yue family is spared, think about it!"
Ghost Ling'er could only nod with difficulty, her heart was filled with endless bitterness, the true transmission failed, she had just escaped the quagmire, but she was in prison, once upon a time, the kind and harmonious mother was still vague, and what remained was only a shell of power.
Wait until the ghost is lost and gone. Imperial Concubine Yue's eyes were deep, her little finger trembled a few times, and two ghost shadows appeared, the skeleton was slightly smaller, and her body was thin, even if she was dressed in black and masked, she could see that it was two women, and said coldly: "Remember, with Hao Qi'er, I'm afraid she won't be able to do this well, if necessary, add a fire." ”
The two black shadows came and went as fast as they could.
Concubine Yue looked at her, her heart was cold, her slender jade fingers were clenched, her face turned pale, she smiled bitterly, and muttered to herself: "Qi'er, don't blame your mother, things have come to this point, and there is no way back." Then the two figures came over with an inhuman-shaped flesh, covered in blood, the skin was open, and one eyeball was picked out, dragged to the ground, pulling out a long blood mark, and the flesh was still trembling slightly.
"Niangniang, this person has already been recruited, it was done by the Xiong family, I heard that Xiong Lianqing wanted to prolong his life for a hundred years in order to live forever, so he first set a trap to get rid of the Netherworld, and, according to the informant, the ships we forcibly occupied were all the things of the Xiong family, so it can be seen that even if this matter was not done by the Xiong family, it was inseparable from it. The cute girl showed her white teeth, her hands were stained with a thick layer of blood lipids, forming a shell, and even her face was dotted with a lot of blood spots, and she said with a smile.
Concubine Yue frowned deeply, the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce has always been low-key, not involved in any struggle other than business, this is a traditional tradition, and it is also the way to live in peace, and it is also the reason why the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce can be famous all over the world.
What's even more strange is that so far, I haven't heard of any masters from the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce coming, so he shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand with a gloomy face.
The meat paste seemed to have sensed something, and he tried to open the remaining eye, and suddenly a sword light, a fine line of blood on his throat, splashed to the ground.
The ghost returned to the room, packed her luggage, and was in a gloomy and complicated mood. Although I don't dare to agree with my mother's affairs, I can't ignore it. Perhaps, she shouldn't have been smart at all, and sent someone to invite Ning Que to go forward together, wanting to protect him from being taken advantage of by villains.
But think about it carefully, this matter is a little strange, she didn't expect this stubble at the beginning, it was her father and queen mother who asked about this son, she was quick for a while, and then the two of them saw the clues, and then reminded herself that Ning Que would have a grudge with others if she got the true biography, and she was anxious for a while before she made this decision.
Now it seems that my parents have already prepared this move, and they have played such an abacus, using themselves to open the door of the Ning family, which is closed to their eyes, and win it over.
After tidying up, he said goodbye to Concubine Yue, and soon left the villa, walked all the way, turned over a few small dirt bags, and again
Once I entered the lively and noisy city, I heard a lot of things about Ning Que in my ears, and the big and small stories could be drawn into a book.
Among them, the old accounts with Fu Qingyan were like turning a book, one by one, page by page by someone with a heart, adding oil and vinegar, and even the servants up and down the Ning family had a word to spread the contradictions and grudges between Ning Que and Mrs. Fu.
It is talked about and a refreshment after a meal. Ghost Ling'er finally had a deeper understanding, as if she saw the picture of Ning Que being tortured, and her heart was filled with waves.
When they met again, the ghost smiled strongly, but in her heart, she kept thinking about her mother's admonitions again and again, and the milky white and pink satin skirt was clenched a little tightly by her hands.
