In the cell, half of Yu Xian's face was hidden in the shadow of the lamplight, and Cheng Qing could only see the half of his face with a scar on his cheek.

This scar made Cheng Qing feel very sorry, just like Yu Xian's injured eye, this young man should be arrogant and flawless, Cheng Qing is willing to Yu Xian to always keep the comfort and freshness of the fresh clothes and angry horses - it's a pity that that Yu Xian can only be the son of the prefect, and he can't be a Yu Qianhu who is not a good Jinyi guard.

Of course, when Yu Xian was still a carefree prefect, Cheng Qing would never trust him and tell him the secret of life and death, this is the contradiction between ideals and reality, no one can be carefree all his life.

The so-called years are quiet, but there are others who are carrying the weight for themselves!

Hearing Yu Xian's hint, Cheng Qing had confidence in what he was going to say next.

"Of course I didn't participate in the rebellion, and after seeing with my own eyes those people who were displaced and trapped by natural disasters and rebellions, I hope that Dawei can be stable more than anyone else, and I believe you are not without a little touch. When I participated in the scientific expedition, at the beginning it was just to protect my family, and at the time of six yuan and the first, this wish was basically achieved, what is the difference between being an official and being a bigger official? Others are thousands of miles away from officials just for money, if I want to, how much money I want. I'm not saying that I'm a saint who doesn't greed for power or money, but after money and power are easy to get, people always have a higher pursuit, right? ”

When there is no substance, the most basic material needs are met first.

When material needs are satisfied, people will pursue spiritual satisfaction.

This is why Cheng Qing's goal is getting higher and higher, from the initial scientific examination to reverse the situation of orphans and widows, and now trying to draw more power from the extremely human minister.

It is useless to have silver in Dawei, the feudal dynasty, it is better to have money than to have power, only with power, from being bound by rules to becoming a rule-making person, Cheng Qing can do things according to his own ideas!

In this process, Cheng Qing will encounter many setbacks and difficulties, she has to deal with all kinds of people, she has to disguise herself as a qualified scholar on the premise of protecting herself from being assimilated by feudal society, and she also has to wait for the opportunity to find her companions, so that she will not be alone on the cliff road with no way out!

Some setbacks can be overcome by ability, and some setbacks really depend on luck and fate.

For example, she can work hard in the scientific examination to create the auspicious fortune of "six yuan and the first", so that her career has a higher starting point, but there is no way to solve the poison in herself, let alone completely change herself from a woman to a man, and fundamentally relieve the biggest crisis she is facing!

If Old Man Li doesn't reveal the secret of her disguised as a man, and says that she will die of an incurable poison, then after Old Man Li appears for the first time, Cheng Qing will find a way to get rid of the sneaky Old Man Li, and he will not interact with the other party at all, let alone know Mr. Zhang through Old Man Li...... Even if Cheng Zhiyuan had a secret before his death, it was strange to die, in order to protect himself and his family, Cheng Qing was absolutely willing to cut off all "old friends" who would threaten their family.

Whether she is "Cheng Jing" or "Cheng Qing", she has been working hard for what she wants for two lifetimes, and she won it when she was "Cheng Jing", but now she is just lacking a little luck, and she fell behind in the process of fighting with others and playing with the sky, and fell into a dead end.

Cheng Qing thought back to the five years after she crossed over, and she lived a very fulfilling life every day, so now there is nothing to regret and fear, and she is willing to gamble and admit defeat!

Cheng Qing didn't have a chance to talk to Yu Xian before, but now she is not afraid to talk, in order to clean up her family and friends, she must tell Yu Xian the truth.

Telling the truth is also about skills, how to say it, how much to say, Cheng Qing was thinking about it when he was taken away by Jinyiwei.

Yu Xian was quite surprised, Cheng Qing put on a posture of wanting to talk to him - Yu Xian's mood was not surprise, but fear!

What kind of character is Cheng Qing, if he is not desperate, how can he show weakness to him?

Cheng Qing wouldn't fail to understand his hints.

There is only one reason why I will talk to him so much now: Cheng Qing is really going to die, at least Cheng Qing himself thinks so!

Yu Xian suppressed the deep fear in his heart and followed Cheng Qing's words and asked, "What are you pursuing, you have dealings with Mr. Zhang's people, and they can give you what you want?" ”

Cheng Qing nodded, "There are many things in this world that make me feel uncomfortable, and I want Dawei to change according to my ideas, which is what I pursue." Mr. Zhang, they know my secrets and grasp my weakness, I can stick to my principles and not do things for them, but when they take the initiative to find me, I can't completely turn them away...... Yu Xian, I'm just an ordinary person, the seven emotions and six desires that ordinary people have, of course I also have them, if I can live, who wants to die? I was indeed lucky, and I sought the skin of the tiger, and now I am being eaten by the tiger, and I am to blame! ”

When Yu Xian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It was Mr. Zhang's gang who took the initiative to find Cheng Qing and used Cheng Qing's weakness to threaten him, but Cheng Qing had not yet agreed to help.

- That is to say, now that people are sent to Cheng's house to search, most of them will not find any "evidence".

Yu Xian felt that this was already the best situation.

As for Cheng Qing saying that he was coerced by Mr. Zhang's group, it was the easiest solution for Yu Xian, and now Luo Jun went to investigate Meng Huaijin's life experience, and Yu Xian was fully responsible for chasing Mr. Zhang's gang of thieves, and after catching Mr. Zhang's people, Yu Xian could pick Cheng Qing clean - provided that Cheng Qing had to cooperate with him, and if necessary, he would use his example as bait to prove his loyalty to the emperor, so that Yu Xian could keep Cheng Qing!

It's really not good, and there are examples of Wang Daqi to refer to.

Dead people don't threaten Cheng Qing, right?

Although Yu Xian didn't speak, Cheng Qing saw that his body language obviously changed from tight to relaxed, and he also guessed Yu Xian's thoughts a little, and said with a wry smile at the moment:

"Do you think that if I get rid of Mr. Zhang's people, I won't have to die? I wasn't being threatened with my life, in fact, they were now renewing my life, I had a strange poison in my body, and if I couldn't find an antidote, I would die of poison in a few months! ”

Poisoning?

Cheng Qing, who was standing in front of him, had a ruddy complexion, except that he was a little thinner, but he didn't look like he was dying at all.

Yu Xian believed Cheng Qing's statement, but he didn't think so.

The poison that can't be solved in the Jianghu Lang, as well as the imperial doctor in the palace.

Ordinary medicinal materials are useless, and there are many rare and secret medicines hidden in the palace.

As long as he can catch Mr. Zhang and his group, make great contributions, and open his mouth like the emperor to ask for each other, Cheng Qingzhong's poison may not be unsolvable.

Yu Xian was a little surprised: "Just because of this, you were pinched by them?" ”

Cheng Qing shook his head, "Of course not, because they still know my biggest secret." ”

Cheng Qing said, stretching out his hand to the placket.

In Yu Xian's surprised gaze, Cheng Qing took off his belt and took off his heavy official uniform.
