Chapter 21: Trust Collapses
"Are you sure this hand must be your queen mother's?" Yu Gu wanted to hear a negative answer from Lan Chen, not only for the sake of herring, but also because he couldn't believe why the family affection in the world could not stand up to consideration.
Lan Chen knew Yu Gu's thoughts, but in the face of the facts, he couldn't deny it at all, so he simply confessed it all at once.
"Nandu's hand is divided into three kinds, the first is the deity card, see the card as if you see people, that is, the command card; The second type of card is the internal card, which is only available to personal guards, and is not common; The third type of card, this is it, the assassination card, a card that only the Assassins see. ”
Yu Gu has always been curious, why did Lan Chen know this kind of card, could it be that Lan Chen had also carried out an assassination mission for Empress Dowager Ye? Then now following Qingyu as a Deadpool, was it sent by Empress Dowager Ye?
Lan Chen could see that Yu Gu had doubts, but he also knew that he was not sent by the Queen Mother to monitor the princess, and he was afraid that Yu Gu would misunderstand, so he immediately explained, "Don't worry, I was not sent by the Queen Mother Ye." I was rescued by the princess, and Empress Dowager Ye trained me to be a killer, and she was kind to me, I killed people for her. But the herring has saved my life, and I will not betray her. ”
Yu Gu patted Lan Chen's shoulder, showing his trust in Lan Chen.
Yu Gu has never been able to find a chance to ask about the internal power chain in Nandu, and now he can ask Lan Chen with the help of the hand, "The hand is Empress Dowager Ye's, but the person is not necessarily sent by Empress Dowager Ye." This group of people is not ordinary assassins, revealing the identity of the master is a taboo in their profession, how could they make such a low-level mistake? Don't you think it's suspicious? ”
Lan Chen knew in his heart: Yu Gu's problem was not groundless, the contradiction between Emperor Qing and Empress Dowager Ye was clearly revealed, but Yu Gu, as a person from another country, was able to guess so accurately, and his thoughtfulness can be seen.
Although it is not yet possible to determine Yu Gu's true intention to go south this time, and the speculation on the rivers and lakes that Yu Gu is avenging the country is by no means like groundless speculation, and then looking at Yu Gu's faction, I am afraid that it will be okay to set off a bloody storm in the southern capital in the future.
But in the end, this assassination was also caused by Yu Gu, the princess just happened to be brought in, and now let the princess lick her wounds alone, isn't this the result of the competition between the snipe and the clam fighting?
The more Lan Chen thought about it, the more he felt that the princess was really innocent and was involved, and the three princes in front of him could stay out of the matter, completely push the pain and pressure to the princess, and let the princess bear it with him.
"Third prince, as for any internal contradictions within our southern capital, that's our own business, so I won't bother you. The princess and I can stay out of it today, but are you trying to bring me and the princess in? ”
The change in Lan Chen's position made Yu Gu not expect that he was just blindly thinking about solving the matter in front of him, completely ignoring the problem of his position.
"Yes, this group of people is coming for me, but they are not here to kill me, they are here to get the so-called fisheye." When Yu Gu talked about fish eyes, Lan Chen's reaction was indeed a little unpredictable, but it could be seen that this matter was related to herring.
Yu Gu continued, "After thinking about it, I really can't figure it out, what is this fish eye? You said that this matter has nothing to do with you, since Emperor Qing wants me to go to Nandu, it must be to use me to achieve some unknown purpose, and don't forget, there is also a herring fish among them, she will also be implicated, Tiger Venom is not a child, Emperor Qing is really ruthless. ”
Lan Chen also knew that Yu Gu was also reasonable, but he always felt that this battle was not so simple, and what he could do was only what the best Deadpool should do, "What is Fisheye, I don't know, this matter is strange, but once that group of people finds out that something is not what they want, they will not let us go, and they will definitely repay it twice." ”
Lan Chen concealed it as if he was deliberately concealing it, and quickly diverted the topic, and at the same time, Yu Gu was also keenly aware that when he talked about fish eyes, the herring fish's reaction was not so ordinary, and it must have something to do with the herring fish.
"It's useless to hide, when our skills can't reach the level of the divine soul, we don't have to think about hiding, we can only pray that people will be left under the knife." It seemed to be joking and serious, Lan Chen couldn't hear the slightest tendentious meaning.
"The contradiction between the emperor and the queen mother has been a long time, as for why they are full of contradictions, I don't know, in the past few years by the queen mother's side, I can't figure out the queen mother's behavior, but one thing I can be sure of is that she is absolutely sincere to herring."
Yu Gu was a little surprised by Lan Chen's sudden showdown, and a wicked smile reappeared, this was the result he wanted, "Thank you for your confession, but what kind of contradiction is there between these two immortals in Nandu, only the two of them know, all we can do is to protect ourselves first, and then spy on other people's secrets, do you say I'm right?" ”
Yu Li watched Lan Chen and Yu Gu test each other on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, Yu Gu went south this time, and he had to face the hostility of a country!
"Are you awake and want water?" Ge Luo looked at the weak herring, changed his previous care, and began to become enthusiastic.
Qingyu shook her head and declined Goro's kindness, she had unconsciously built a line of defense in her heart.
"You're awake, princess, when the rain stops tomorrow, I'll take you back to Nandu immediately." Lan Chen had already thought about it in his heart, the land of right and wrong should not stay for a long time, and he didn't need to care about Yu Gu's life or death, but he must protect the life of the herring fish.
Qingyu still shook his head, one hand wanted to support his upper body, Yu Gu saw it and hurriedly pressed it, and Qingyu's head slammed on the pillow.
"What are you doing? Can you be careful? Lan Chen's dissatisfaction with Yu Gu has been completely undisguised.
Qingyu saw that Lan Chen's gunpowder was full of smell, and knew in his heart that it was difficult for Lan Chen, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, "cough, cough, cough" and cough endlessly.
"Golo, give her this." Yu Gu took out the typhoid medicine from the package he was traveling with him and handed it to Ge Luo.
Before leaving the palace, when he learned that he was going to send to Nandu, he was full of enthusiasm, but at the moment when he was really a big enemy, self-protection became a problem. Looking at the vulnerable herring in front of him, he didn't have that kind of ambition in his heart, and he just wanted to protect the person he liked.
"Yu Gu, you know what? I came to Yucheng this time to kill you, and then we returned to peace in the south, and finally found out that I was wrong. The way the herring fish forced herself to speak in pain was really distressing.
"Whether it's my mother or not this time, but she is right about one thing, whether you die or not, I will be a victim. Because this game of chess is destined for me to be a pawn, and I have to be. ”
Yu Gu chuckled in his heart when he heard the word chess piece, he thought that he would be the only victim in this battle without gunpowder. But now it's not just himself, the Qingdi doesn't even let go of his sister, and the most important thing is that the person he likes has not been spared.
"Stop talking, I'll protect you to the death. Aren't you curious why I agreed to go south? Qingyu didn't expect Yu Gu to talk about this issue head-on now, and this sensitive topic also hit Lan Chen's heart.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, before I met you, my father and I made bold words to enter your southern capital and restore my jade city. But after meeting you, and going through this again, I just want to be with you now, and I know that the love between men and women, which seems to be the most common in the world, has become a luxury desire in us. And now, I just want to be with you. ”
Yu Gu's every word hit Qingyu's heart, she could hear it, Yu Gu was serious, and she also believed that what this man who had known for less than a day said because of empathy and love for each other.
Lan Chen saw the tears flickering in Qingyu's eyes, and he could also hear the openness in Yu Gu's words. Love is indistinguishable from friend and foe, but family affection is conditional.
"If I'm not mistaken, you two sneaked out of the palace this time, right?" Yu Gu asked.
Qingyu and Lan Chen glanced at each other, they should always come, Qing Yu seemed to realize something, and asked, "Do those people know me and Lan Chen?" ”
Yu Gu thought about the whole thing carefully, and thought back and forth about the intersection between the assassin and the herring, and the herring fish did not show his face from beginning to end, and those assassins only saw Lan Chen.
"Blue Dust, have you dealt with those assassins before?" If that group of people didn't know Lan Chen, then this matter would be simple, but if they did, the whereabouts of the herring fish would definitely be exposed.
Lan Chen barely thought about it, and blurted out, "If it was sent by the Queen Mother, then they must know me; But if it's from the emperor's side, you don't necessarily know me. ”
Regardless of whether the assassin knows or doesn't know Lan Chen and Qingyu, the Nandu Palace will definitely know that Qingyu left the palace without permission tomorrow, and then he will naturally find out on his head, Yu Gu thought so, and immediately thought of a countermeasure.
"Qingyu, you can leave tomorrow. Whether these people know you or not, your queen mother will definitely know that you have escaped from the palace, and hurry back to the palace before they can connect you with me. ”
What Yu Gu didn't know was that Empress Dowager Ye was supportive of his relationship with Qingyu, which Qingyu didn't expect. But does Empress Dowager Ye really support herself and Yu Gu?
Trust is like a sand tower, as long as the root collapses a little bit, and there is no need to destroy it with external force, the whole tower will become a plate of loose sand.
I used to believe so much, but now it's just a little speculation, and I start to doubt. It's not that family affection is not worth testing, it's just that people's hearts can't stand the test.
"Let's talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow, in extraordinary times, plans can't catch up with changes, so let's have a good rest. What won't necessarily happen tomorrow? ”
Looking at this girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, Yu Gu also understands: growing up is just a change of mind.
