Still in Qi Wuyin's private house, Qi Wuyin looked down at the young woman in front of him, and beckoned her to come over.

The woman walked over with fear, knelt down on one knee and kowtowed, "My subordinates have come to see Qi Zhangshi." ”

"Su Ling, you go back and prepare, and you and I will leave for Jinling early tomorrow morning. If this matter is done smoothly, the old man will take you to a good position after the matter is completed. Qi Wuyin stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the woman in front of him, his tone was cold, "In order to make the other party believe in you more, you have to suffer a little." ”

"Subordinates obey."

After instructing the others to take Su Ling away, Qi Wuyin looked up at the remnant sun in the sky, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. Feelings are the most useless, harming others and harming oneself. No matter how strong King Ren Jin is now, he still has to be hurt by feelings.

In the early morning of the second day, Qi Wuyin asked Emperor Li for an edict

After that, he took Su Ling all the way to Jinling. By the time Xie Yaoguang got the news from Gu Qingzhi, Qi Wuyin had already been out of Beijing for about two hours.

"What did Qi Wuyin do when he went to Jinling in a good manner." Frowning, Xie Yaoguang's eyes were anxious, and even his tone was extremely impatient, "It was my negligence that allowed him to take advantage of this loophole." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi looked at her with heavy eyes, and her voice was gentle, "According to Qi Wuyin's speed, it will take three days to arrive in Jinling at the earliest." We still have a chance. ”

Although she knew that Gu Qingzhi was telling the truth, the worry in Xie Yaoguang's eyes still did not dissipate. Qi Wu's methods are not only insidious and vicious, but also directly attack the most feared existence in the other party's heart.

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoguang's hand was clasped on the sleeve stove, and his fingertips rubbed the treasure pattern on it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Qingzhi, are you free today?" After rubbing the corners of his forehead tiredly, Xie Yaoguang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, I took the time to go to the Gu family's cemetery, originally wanting to see in the secret room to find my grandfather's record of Qi Wuyin. I didn't find anything, but I found a letter, the handwriting on which I had never seen. But I think Hou Ye Li should know more than me. ”

"Are you going to see Marquis Li? I don't have anything to do here, I can go with you. When the words fell, Gu Qingzhi smiled and took Xie Yao's bare arm and walked away.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the place where several people met was chosen in the Moon and Star Building. When he received the letter sent by Xie Yaoguang, Li Qi was quite surprised, but he didn't think much time, and after cleaning up a little, he followed the person directly to Lanxing Tower to make an appointment.

Originally, Xie Yaoguang was talking to Gu Qingzhi, and when he heard Suzaku outside, he reported that Li Qi was here, and he went out with Gu Qingzhi to greet him. "Marquis Li."

The two of them folded their sleeves at the same time and called respectfully.

Hearing this, Li Qi frowned and chuckled, patted Gu Qingzhi on the shoulder, and said, "There are no outsiders here, why don't you two call me Uncle Li?" ”

"Uncle Li, why do you always like to pat me on the shoulder?" Gu Qingzhi quietly moved a few steps behind Xie Yaoguang and poked her head out, "Since I can remember, every time you come, you have been looking at me with a smile, you are really eccentric." ”

"She's well-behaved and sensible, who doesn't like it." Saying that, Li Qi's gaze fell on Xie Yaoguang, and a trace of regret crossed his eyes.

When she heard Li Qi say that Xie Yaoguang was well-behaved and sensible, Gu Qingzhi's eyes widened. It's the first time she's heard someone say this about Xie Yaoguang, who doesn't know that when Xie Yaoguang was still Gu Changge, she was the one who tore up Prince Shouwang's homework, and she hadn't done anything about climbing trees to pick fruits and going down to the Taiye Pond to catch fish. It's just that every time after she finishes this thing, King Jin takes all the charges for her. "She's well-behaved?" Before Gu Qingzhi finished speaking, she noticed Xie Yaoguang looking at her with a smile, her eyes sharp and distinct.

Seeing this, she swallowed her words back very calmly, bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them entered the room before they entered the room. This room was the place he used to meet with Ye Linchen before, and there was an organ outside, if there was no one to guide him, he wouldn't be able to enter here. However, despite this, Xie Yaoguang still ordered Suzaku to arrange for someone to guard outside, and if he encountered anyone who wanted to break into this place, he would be immediately beheaded by his sword.

After serving the tea, the maids all withdrew, but did not go far, but stayed not far away.

After pouring tea for Li Qi, Xie Yaoguang took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, "It's not too late for you to use the tea first and then read my letter." ”

Looking at the yellowed letter that Xie Yaoguang handed in front of him, a trace of doubt crossed Li Qi's eyes. After hurriedly drinking the tea, he directly took out the letterhead inside, and the handwriting that greeted him was very familiar, which made a trace of resentment flash in Li Qi's eyes.

"Uncle Lai knows the words on this letter?" After seeing that Li Qi's expression was different, Xie Yaoguang turned his head and asked.

As the words fell, Li Qi grabbed the letter with his fingers, and the anger in his eyes could not be concealed, and he took a deep breath and put the letter back in its place.

Looking at the letter in front of him, Xie Yaoguang sighed lightly. She always felt that Li Qi's various distinctions were clearly telling her that she also knew this person.

"It's not just recognition, even if he turns to ashes, I can recognize him." As he spoke, Li Qi took a sip of tea and then put it on the table heavily, "Auntie, then again, you will know the person who wrote this letter." This person is Qi Wuyin. ”

After the idea was confirmed, a trace of indignation flashed in Xie Yaoguang's eyes, "Sure enough, it's him." It seems that the grudge between him and the Gu family is not as simple as King Qin's desire to abolish the Privy Council, otherwise he would never have written such a letter to his grandfather. Uncle Li, what kind of person do you think Qi Wuyin is? ”

Hearing this, Qi Wuyin did not answer immediately, but looked at the white sail returning ship in the distance with heavy eyes, and it seemed that some far-reaching memories had been hooked. What kind of person Qi Wuyin is, he can't say clearly.

Although the two had an old friendship when they were young, he never felt that he had ever known Qi Wuyin, and for him, Qi Wuyin would always be much more difficult to get along with than Su Qinglin. In his impression, at some times, when Mrs. Gu heard what Qi Wuyin had done, in addition to sighing helplessly, what he felt the most was that this person was too thoughtful and difficult to continue.

"Taifu has a comment about him, 'The mind is too deep to continue'. Auntie, I think dealing with the Gu family is just an excuse for him, and the most important thing is that the Gu family is blocking his way to seize power. When he said this, there was an unconcealed disgust in his eyes.

In this maelstrom of power, everyone is nothing more than a pawn in the hands of those who call power. Some people seize power for fame and profit, some people seize power for lust, and some people seize power for the world, but in the end, they are driven by the forces of all parties, and finally abandon the beliefs they insist on and the feelings they carry, and fall into the abyss step by step, and never get out.
