Chapter 477: Trade-offs
"You want to use us to help you deal with Yu Wenzheng and the others, but you can't let go of the hatred in your heart."
"But Yue Qian, no matter what happens, there is always a trade-off."
Qi Wenfu tilted his head slightly in the direction in front of the door,
"Or, you directly kill me and Su Ruan to vent your anger, and then watch your old main soldier come to the capital and seize the imperial power, and you can only live like a mouse in the dark from now on."
"Or, you help us."
Qi Wenfu said in a deep voice, "As long as you can solve this siege of Jingzhong with us, I will give you the opportunity to kill Shen Fengnian and your old master with your own hands, avenge your father, and promise afterwards that no one will pursue your past." ”
"As for the future, if you want to continue to be a general, I will change your name and surname for you and let you stay in the court."
"If you want to enjoy the landscape, I will give you gold and silver to make you rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and you will not be burdened by the past, and there will be no such person in this world from now on."
Without Yueqian, no one will remember what he did.
Although he can no longer bear his original name, he doesn't have to hide, he doesn't have to dare to show his face in the outside world like now, and he can't see the sun like a rat in the gutter.
The expression on Yue Qian's face changed constantly, even if he still had a grudge against Qi Wenfu in his heart, but Qi Wenfu's words were too tempting for him.
After the explosion in the mountain behind Taoyuanpo that day, he narrowly escaped from it, but he was also blown up with his skin and half of his face.
The imperial court has been searching for him everywhere, and Shen Fengnian and others have also sent people to secretly look for him.
At the beginning, he wanted to go to find the old master, but later he almost died at the hands of those people, only to know that the gunpowder in the mountain was not buried by them in Qiwen Mansion, but that his master wanted the lives of his father and son.
Since then, he has been in hiding from all over the world, and no one has passed by.
Yue Qian has never had the idea of seeking death, even after taking revenge, he still wants to live in peace and stability, once Yuwen Zheng and they really seize the imperial power, they will definitely not tolerate him as a "traitor".
But if the Qiwen Mansion turns over, it will keep the current royal family......
Yue Qian pursed her lips for a long time before turning back to Qi Wenfu and saying, "Why should I believe you?" ”
Qi Wenfu raised his lips: "You can only believe me." ”
"Believe me, at least there is hope, but if you don't believe it, there is nothing."
Su Ruan sat on the dry grass and looked at Yue Qian, and with the light on the fire, she could clearly see the struggle on his face hidden under the red cover, and she said, "You'd better make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise wait until Yuwen Zheng's army reaches the capital, and Shen Fengnian is in the capital to join him inside and out." ”
"As soon as the gate of the city in Beijing was opened, His Majesty died, and after he ascended to the throne as the grandson of the first emperor, even me and Qi Wenfu would have no skills to return to heaven at that time."
When Yue Qian heard Su Ruan's words, his face struggled for a moment before he said: "But now that their army is attacking the city, there is no resistance in the capital at all, and Cao Xiong, the commander of the forbidden army, has also been bought by Shen Fengnian, you are ...... like this now."
"One is blind, the other is lame, what can he do?"
When Qi Wenfu heard this, he knew that Yue Qian had promised to help them, his heart was slightly relieved, and he moved his back and said, "As long as you are willing, I naturally have a way." ”
Seeing this, Yue Qian thought of Xiao Mian, who was good friends with Qi Wenfu, and said inexplicably: "Do you want to help the Salt Seeking Gang and the Xiao family?" ”
The imperial court is tied, and borrowing the power of the rivers and lakes is indeed a way out.
But Qi Wenfu shook his head: "No, there is a problem on the Xiao family's side, and the salt gang may not be clean, Xiao Mian almost died on the dock with us this time, and looking for them is like throwing himself into a net." ”
Yue Qian had already told him before that Xiao Mian and Xuan Longan were rescued, only Sima Yu and the others died on the dock, and more than half of the Xie family's guards died, although the few people left behind were still in Jingzhou, but I am afraid that there are people around them from time to time.
Qi Wenfu was already smart, if he hadn't noticed that something was wrong with the Xiao family in the morning, but he and Su Ruan had been locked up in this hut for the past few days, and the darkness was enough for him to think about many things clearly.
He didn't suspect Xiao Mian, if the explosion was really Xiao Mian's doing, then how could he almost die on the dock with them, but something must have happened to the Xiao family, once they go back to Jingzhou, whether they find Xiao Mian or others, it is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.
Moreover, if he and Su Ruan had made a detour to Jingnan, the time delayed would have caused the rebels to attack the capital long ago.
If Yu Wenzheng and them take the capital, no matter how much they do, it will be in vain.
Yue Qian knew that there was something wrong with the Xiao family, but he didn't expect Qi Wenfu to guess it, he suddenly had more confidence in Qi Wenfu and them, walked back to the fire, and then took out a few bottles of wound medicine from his arms and threw them into Su Ruan's arms.
"The red ones are eaten, the white ones are dressed, which can relieve pain and heal wounds."
"In addition, the box is for eye treatment, I asked the doctor, you may have injured your head and accumulated blood when you fell into the Nanhe, and the medicine can only clear the blood first, and you may not be able to regain your sight, so it can only depend on your own luck."
Su Ruan was a little surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly put away the medicine, then opened the red bottle and took some of it, and after swallowing it, he felt fine, so he fed it to Qi Wenfu again.
Seeing the neat appearance of her hands, Yue Qian couldn't help but say, "You're not afraid that I will poison you?" ”
"So I tried first."
Su Ruan stuffed the red bottle back into his arms, then took out the white bottle again, lifted Qi Wenfu's sleeve and applied medicine to his arm, and said in a low voice: "It's not dead." ”
The corners of Yue Qian's mouth twitched slightly, even if he thought he was a ruthless person before, but this one also felt that it was a big difference between the two people in front of him.
One dares to eat, the other dares to feed.
There really is no one who can compare to them!
Yue Qian simply sat on the edge of the fire, looking at Su Ruan's pale face and not caring about his legs, but instead giving medicine to Qi Wenfu, he couldn't help but say: "Then how are you going to deal with Yuwen Zheng and them, you won't let me take you back to the capital single-handedly, right?" ”
"Of course not."
Qi Wenfu is not stupid, in the current situation in Beijing, he and Su Ruan are two and a half crippled, even if they add a Yue Qian who can fight, they will go to death when they return to the capital.
Besides, the Xie family has fallen, and I am afraid that there is something wrong around him.
Just go back like this, and they all have to explain it inside.
Qi Wenfu said, "Don't go back to the capital for the time being, you take us to Anchang first." ”
"Anchang?" Yue Qian was puzzled.
Anchang is not far from the capital, and it is not close to it.
That place is not as prosperous as the capital, and most importantly, it is a Shucheng.
No soldiers, no generals, no people, no money.
Yue Qian's eyebrows tightened and said, "There are less than 5,000 defenders in Anchang City, and the distance from the capital is not close, if you want to move the rescue troops, shouldn't you go to Dingkang?" ”
