Chapter 265: Wei Rui as a hostage
As soon as Jing Xing's words came out, Pei Ling'an's eyes immediately shone up, and he hurriedly retreated to Jing Xing's body, and said as if in disbelief, "What the prince said, but is it true?" ”
Jing Xing glanced at him, with indescribable emotions in his eyes, and only said, "What am I joking about this kind of thing?" ”
Pei Lingan immediately hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your trust, and you are welcome to join, I believe that as long as you join in, we will definitely be the victorious side." ”
Jingxing glanced at him and said, "There is no problem for me to join, but I have the conditions." ”
"What conditions? Just say it! Pei Ling'an was quite atmospheric, as if he could give Jingxing whatever he wanted.
"Hu Fu is not here, I need to go back to the capital, and you know how much I value the woman next to me, so let her go, don't involve her."
Hearing Jing Xing's request, Pei Ling'an's face quickly turned unsightly, and he seemed to hesitate for a long time before saying, "Lord Wang, it's not that I don't trust you, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, it's really ...... This Wei girl is here now, and she also knows about the tiger talisman, you said that if you let her go, it would be unrealistic. ”
Jing Xing immediately glared at the man next to him, I have the meaning of quitting, but Jing Xing didn't say it, and Pei Lingan pretended that he didn't understand.
continued: "If you don't let her get involved, of course I will do my best, but it is unrealistic to take her back to the capital." But don't worry, no one can find this place, I will arrange a few people to take care of Miss Wei, you can rest assured. ”
"Besides......" he suddenly sighed, with a little sadness in his tone, "Although it is said that with the addition of the prince, we have a great chance of winning this war, but the victory must be accompanied by sacrifice, and the person who sacrificed does not know who it will be, and it may even be you or me, the prince." ”
"So, the capital at this time is really too dangerous, it's really not a wise move to take Miss Wei back, I don't know if the prince can understand what I mean?"
Of course, Jingxing knew what Pei Ling'an meant, and the ultimate goal of saying so much was actually to keep Wei Rui as a hostage, so as to threaten him and make him not act rashly. Although he keeps saying it so well, Jing Xing is not a fool, how can he not know his thoughts?
However, Jing Xing didn't pin much hope here, if Pei Lingan could really let Wei Rui go, then there would definitely be something wrong with his head, and now this move can show that he is normal and is really planning this matter.
However, although Jing Xing understood in his heart, he couldn't be like this on his face, he squinted at Pei Ling'an, and said: "Master Pei Zhai, you are not sincere, in exchange I have already revealed to you the approximate location of what you want, but Master Pei Zhai, you have never met any of my requirements." Do you say, is this a cooperative attitude? ”
Jing Xing simply sat down on the table next to him, and said coldly: "The so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspicious person is not needed, since the master of Pei Zhai doubts me, then why should he talk to me about cooperation?" If you don't trust me, and you still have a backhand to threaten me, how can I trust you? ”
Pei Ling'an was told this by Jing Xing, and immediately didn't know how to answer, and he was weak in heart, because Jing Xing had what he had to get, but he only had Wei Rui as a hostage in his hand, and if he wanted to exchange Jing Xing's things, he had to exchange this hostage as an exchange, but ......
It's not that he doesn't trust Jingxing, it's just that this matter is very important, and he must be cautious in everything, and this point cannot be sloppy at all.
However, if Jingxing's requirements are not met, then it will definitely be difficult to cooperate, and if Jingxing does not cooperate, their chances of winning will be reduced by half, and when he thinks of possible failure, Pei Lingan feels that he can't accept it at all.
He thought for a long time, and then said: "That's it, Lord Wang, you and I each take a step back, it's impossible to let that girl leave at this juncture, and I can't do it anyway, but if the prince cooperates sincerely, then we ...... You can bring Miss Wei with you and bring it to the capital. ”
The corners of Jing Xing's mouth twitched slightly, but Pei Ling'an didn't see it, and only continued: "But when we arrive in the capital, she has to let our people watch, and strictly guard it for twelve hours, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of this girl, and on the other hand, just in case, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”
This is what Jing Xing wants, let them let Wei Rui go now, unless they are fools, but here, it is not realistic for Jing Xing and Minghua to escape with Wei Rui.
The only way is to take her to the capital, and things in the capital will be much easier, but of course Jingxing can't just agree. He slapped the table heavily and said, "In the end, the master of Pei Zhai still doesn't trust me, since this is the case, then the matter of cooperation should be considered more by this king." ”
He got up and walked to the door, intending to leave.
When he opened the door, Pei Ling'an still didn't open his mouth to keep him, Jing Xing was a little puzzled, but the action did not stop, and when he stepped out of the door, Pei Ling'an seemed helpless to say: "Then it's tomorrow morning, I'll ask the prince about his decision, as for Miss Wei's matter, Fang Cai's approach is already my biggest concession." ”
Jing Xing flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
When I returned to the house, Wei Rui was still asleep, presumably because of the tiring travel in the past few days, and now I was frightened again, so I was tired. The egg hurts
Looking at Wei Rui's sleeping face, Jing Xing sighed slowly, if it weren't for this woman, he wouldn't know how boring his life would be.
He remembered that soon after he came back, he met Guan Qing at the gate of the palace, Guan Qing and Wei Rui had already recognized each other at that time, and he said to Jing Xing: "That cousin of mine doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, she actually made the Ming King of the Great Yin Kingdom change, not to be underestimated." ”
Jing Xing's face was inexplicable, but Guan Qing had always been at odds with him, and what Guan Qing said he only regarded as Guan Qing was talking nonsense, and he didn't want to give him a look.
But Guan Qing said: "The prince who came back this time seems to be less murderous and more popular, and he is slowly becoming more humane, I don't know if it's my delusion." ”
Jing Xing felt that his words were really ridiculous, he was a Shura-like existence feared by the enemy on the battlefield, plus he was really not interested in people in his daily life, both men and women, his task was to complete the task given to him by the emperor, and nothing else.
The people in the palace and the court basically know that he is just a pawn in the emperor's hands, what kind of feelings does the chess piece need? You don't need to be emotional, you just need to know what to do next. So even if he is famous, when he comes to the emperor, he can only nod and agree.
He had never considered why he was like this before, and after Guan Qing's reminder, he realized that the important reason why he was willing to make this chess piece was that the emperor had other chess pieces in his hand, and he cared about them very much.
For example, Jingyue.
Obedience is the only way to keep the two of them alive, so ...... He had no choice but to obey.
But since Wei Rui appeared, he began to understand that he had to empathize with others, he began to have emotions, love and hate, he was no longer an obedient wooden man, he seemed to have thoughts. Even, for the sake of this woman, he doesn't know how many times he rejected the emperor, which he had never experienced before.
Now in order to protect this woman, he is going to "rebel" again.
Wei Rui seemed to be very stable in her sleep, and she snored reassuringly, which was very cute.
Jing Xing gently branded a kiss on her forehead, and then lay down on her side.
When Wei Rui woke up, the sky was already bright, Jing Xing was nowhere to be seen, she didn't react for a while, and she saw that Jing Xing was nowhere to be seen, and the whole person was not good, so she rushed out of bed and looked for the guard at the door, shouting and crying.
She really thought that Jingxing had been taken away, whether something had happened, all kinds of terrifying assumptions appeared in her mind, Wei Rui felt that she was extremely scared, her emotions were not controlled at all, and her behavior was even more uncontrollable.
It wasn't until Jingxing appeared in front of her and hugged her tightly that her emotions slowly eased up.
"There's been so much going on lately, I'm really scared of something wrong with you, I'm sorry!" Sitting on the edge of the bed and snuggling in Jingxing's arms, she apologized for losing control of her emotions just now.
Jingxing hugged her tightly, he knew Wei Rui's fear and worry, and he could also feel her fear and helplessness, at this time, there seemed to be no other way to comfort her except hugging.
At this time, Wei Rui didn't know that Jing Xing had promised Pei Ling'an to give him the Tiger Talisman, and when she was about to ask Jing Xing, Jing Xing took the lead and said, "Do you remember the incident when Liu Qing'er faked her death?" ”
Wei Rui sniffed, calmed down her emotions, and looked at Jing Xing with some confusion: "Why did you suddenly say this?" Isn't she in Minglang County? It can't still have anything to do with it, right? ”
Jingxing smiled: "It's not this, I just want to ask you, do you remember, at that time, in order to keep you from destroying our plan, I once trapped you in my courtyard for a long time." ”
Wei Rui remembered it and said excitedly: "Remember, of course, I remember, I remember that I escaped at that time, but the two janitors you are looking for are really terrible." ”
Jingxing looked at her and said a little unbearably: "We can go back to the capital, but there is a problem that you can't go anywhere when you return to the capital, you can't go back to your own shop, and you can't go to Guan Qing, you will be taken to a separate courtyard and guarded." ”
Wei Rui looked at Jing Xing in a daze, Jing Xing's throat moved, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and he said after a while: "I'm sorry, but that courtyard is the same as the one that locked you up at that time, you won't feel strange." ”
Wei Rui frowned and asked, "Are you?" Promised them that thing? ”
Jing Xing was stunned.
