The entire Qin Mansion was exceptionally quiet in the empty cool autumn, and the night was getting thicker but no one came to save He Gui, and He Gui's arm was tied with a rope for too long, leaving blood stasis.

"Boy, do you see? No one cares if you live or die. Qin Guan walked up to He Gui and hooked his chin and said.

He Gui glared at Qin Guan with disdain, spat the blood in his mouth on the ground, and said, "So what?"

He Gui never believed in the warmth and coldness of this world, he only believed in himself. At least in his opinion, he is not worth letting Jing Li and them fight for their lives.

Qin Guan admired He Gui's determination, and he ordered someone to loosen the tie for He Gui.

He Gui said to Qin Guanyan, "What? Don't kill me?"

Of course, Qin Guan is not an impulsive person, he knows that he can't kill him easily before His Majesty interrogates him, otherwise he will not be able to explain in front of His Majesty.

Qin Guan is a person who is good at strategy, and every step he takes carries a strong sense of purpose. He tried to say to He Guiyan, "I heard that you are a hard bone, and they can't pry your mouth open by any means in the dungeon, are you really not afraid of death?"

He Gui lowered his head and let out a muffled laugh from his chest, and he mocked, "Death? Didn't your Qin family kill enough people? Are you not afraid of death? ”

Qin Guan was a very resilient person, no matter how others evaluated his merits and demerits, it was not enough to make him sad and happy, so he filled the wine cup on the table and took a sip.

"Everyone in the world says so, our Qin family is the devil who brings war and disaster, they only see the short-term grief in front of them, but they don't know that this world needs war to wash away its dirt!" Qin Guan smashed the wine bottle on the floor.

He walked over to He Gui and said, "What if I catch you? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty still think that our Qin family is the mastermind behind this. ”

"Since you can't wash away this filth all over your body, why not take advantage of the trend, what about my Qin family? What if not? What can they do to me? Qin Guan touched his forehead and was sad and smiling, like a crazy devil.

"Someone! Take him down to me! Qin Guan flicked his cuffs and ordered someone to take He Gui away.

On a late autumn night in Southern Qi, the windows of the dungeon were filled with a few rays of moonlight outside, and the black clouds shrouded the bright moon......

"Bang!" The door to the dungeon was opened, and a man walked in with a cloak.

He Gui was already asleep at the moment, he heard a movement, opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Where are you going?

He Xiang untied her cloak and leaned against the wall like He Gui, she held up a pot of wine and handed it to He Guiyan and said, "My lord said that you are my relative, let me come and see you." ”

"My lord? Qin Guan? He Gui's tone was full of doubt.

He Xiang picked up the flask and took a sip, and responded with his head bowed. She looked at He Gui and said, "Are you really my relative?" ”

He Gui was weak at the moment, he propped up his body and looked at He Xiang with an expression, and said, "I'm your brother!" Where to go. ”

He Xiang looked at He Gui with eyes, but there was no trace of emotion in her pupils, as if she had met a stranger.

He Gui leaned the back of his head against the wall, turned half of his face and asked, "Where have you been all these years?" Why is it above this Qin Mansion?"

He Xiang shook his head and only said two words: "I don't know ......"

"When I opened my eyes, it was Lord Qin Guan who was healing me, I have been living in his house all these years, I have no past and no family......" He Xiang recalled his past.

He Gui immediately held He Xiang's cheeks with dirty hands and said, "How is it possible! You still have my brother! ”

As soon as He Xiangyi heard the word "brother", there were constant cries and scolding in his head, as if they were from a long memory. She heard the sound of two children hugging each other and crying, and she saw a city covered with snow......

He Xiang clenched her head in pain, as if she was trying to remember something.

Suddenly, Qin Guan walked into the dungeon, stunned He Xiang with his spiritual power, and then ordered the subordinates behind him to take her down.

Seeing this, He Gui immediately swelled with anger, pointed at him and roared, "What are you going to do!" ”

Qin Guan pressed He Gui in place with his hand and couldn't move, he said, "You have stimulated her memory, if she falls into the memories of the past and can't help herself, she is likely to become a fool!" ”

Only then did He Gui calm down and stop his anger. Qin Guan disdained to argue with He Gui, he got up and closed the door of the prison, and was about to leave, He Gui asked in one word, "Why are you helping us?"

Qin Guan stood there for a long time and didn't answer, he raised his head and sighed, "I'm just helping myself......"

Qin Guan left a lonely back, stepping on the steps of the dungeon and disappearing from He Gui's sight. For He Gui, Qin Guan is a complicated person, he is both evil and good, and his mind is even more inscrutable, but He Gui can clearly see one thing from him, that is, his disgust with this world!

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Guan brought He Gui outside the main hall, and he walked alone in front of the Southern Qi Jun Shang to report, "Minister, Qin Guan, meet the king!" ”

"Excuse me~"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Guan dared to come to the palace today to explain that he had caught the assassin who had stolen him, and at this time, His Royal Highness began to talk about it.

"Qin Guoshi has caught an assassin?" The lord of the country knows Qin Guan's temperament very well.

"Back to Your Majesty, yesterday the minister just captured this person!" Qin Guan replied with a fist.

The lord of the Southern Qi Kingdom lifted his cuffs, stretched out his hand and ordered, "Bring people up." ”

"Yes."

He Gui was held down by several guards and brought to the court, which made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel a faint unease, and even the Prince of Lingqu standing aside was inconceivable that Qin Guan could capture the assassin in such a short time.

He Guiyi was thrown in front of Qin Guan, Qin Guan stepped on his back with his foot, and said, "Your Majesty, this person is the person who assassinated the temple that day, and his name is gone." ”

At this time, one of the ministers below stood up and asked, "How did you find this assassin?"

Qin Guan turned his head and glanced at the old minister, the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile, and said, "No comment......

Then Qin Guan hurriedly pushed forward his plan in the palace, he immediately called the name of Lord Chen, the prison envoy, stood in front of him and said, "I heard that Lord Chen has tried all his means to make this kid tell the truth, this is Lord Chen's incompetence, since Lord Chen has no ability to ask what is missing, it is better to leave it to me, let me personally pry open this kid's mouth!" ”

"This ......," the ministers began to think about it.

Qin Guan knew that most of the ministers below would not agree easily, so he raised his head and looked at Nan Qi Junshang on the dragon chair and asked, "What does Your Majesty think?"

The Southern Qi monarch was originally jealous of Qin Guan's power in the court, and his family controlled the economic, military and political lifelines of the Southern Qi Dynasty, so what qualifications did he have to say no?

"I've got it!" The Southern Qi monarch made a hasty decision.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this move, if this person is handed over to Lord Qin, this is a black and white decision, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone." Secretary Wen immediately came out to stop it.

Qin Guan asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask what is black and white?" Could it be that I'm Qin Guan! Or are you white! ”

Qin Guan shocked all the ministers in the field, he flicked his sleeves angrily, stood in the center of the court, and said to the ministers, "Our Qin family assisted the third emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and we have been loyal for generations, and there is no second heart, if it were not for the ancestors of our Qin family who followed the emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty to fight in the south and the north, and laid down the country of the Southern Qi!" Do you think any of you can stand here in this official uniform! ”

"It's you, the Minister of Culture, your Excellency! Or who! Qin Guan had a strong murderous aura in his eyes, and he pointed at Lord Wen Si and asked.

Qin Guan turned around and looked at the Emperor of Southern Qi on the dragon chair, and he said coldly, "What does Your Majesty think?"

"Stop all Aiqing! The Qin family has assisted me for generations in Nanqi Heaven and Earth, since Lord Qin has said so, he should naturally believe in the ability of Qin Guoshi, but there are still doubts...... "Nanqi Jun knows that he must give Qin Guan a step, and if he doesn't open his mouth, he is afraid that this court will be chaotic."

Qin Guan seemed to be even more rampant, and simply pulled out the sword at his waist and stuck it in the court, saying, "Since you want to be the mastermind behind the scenes, I will let you see tomorrow!" ”

"Someone! Take him down, tie him up tomorrow in the field of the Green Bird Garden, and execute him at noon, if anyone robs the field and kills him! After Qin Guan finished explaining, Xu Xing left the palace with his hands.

And at this moment, when the county lord of Dongran, who was hiding outside the palace and eavesdropping, learned of Qin Guan's plan, he immediately ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, and rushed out of the palace in a panic to Helian Sheng's Nanyun Mansion to report the matter.

"What! Qin Guan didn't even interrogate and killed him directly?" Helian Sheng couldn't believe that Qin Guan's methods would be so extreme.

"He's giving us an ultimatum! It's forcing you to show up! The county lord of Dongran grabbed Helian Sheng's arm and said worriedly.

"Don't tell Jing Li about this, I'll go alone tomorrow!" Helian Sheng pleaded with the county lord of Dongran.

"Your Highness...... Are you going to take the blame for it? "The county lord of Dongran was embarrassed.

There was no expression on Helian Sheng's cold face, and he said quietly, "I can't let Jing Li and them be implicated, I am a disciple of Huangyu and the prince of Northern Chu, even if they want to attack me, they have to be scrupulous a few times." ”

"Your Highness, you are really stubborn!" The tears of the county lord of Dongran were shining with tears.

Helian Sheng took off the abyss on the shelf and put it on his waist, got up and walked towards the outside of the mansion, and the county lord of Dongran immediately got up and called Helian Sheng, "Have you thought about it!" What do you do! ”

Helian Sheng stopped, he turned around and threw a calm smile at the Dongran County Lord, and said, "There are more important things in this world than my life that are worthy of my protection......

The county lord of Dongran immediately ran up, hugged Helian Sheng's waist with both hands, buried his head in his chest, and cried, "Fool...... There's nothing for you to fight for alone, I'll be with you......"

Helian Sheng was suddenly stunned by the words of the county lord of Dongran, he knew very well in his heart that the county lord of Dongran had the affection for him, but his life was too short to love one person, even if he was killed, he could not let the person he loved hurt.

Helian Sheng had to push away the county lord of Dongran, knelt down on one knee, held the sword against the floor with his left hand, covered his left atrium with his right hand, and said solemnly, "Come to Nanqi these days, thank you for the county lord's care, this is my own decision, I will never let the county lord be implicated with me, I beg the county lord not to interfere!" ”

Helian Sheng stood up and turned away without looking back, his dignified back reflected in the eyes of the county lord of Dongran.

"You always think about others, but ......what about you," the trembling cry of the county lord of Dongran gradually blurred.
