Chapter 436: Losing Big Because of a Small Loss
Yuan Ying has been silently following Qian Qianqian, not daring to speak out, now that Qian Qianqian is angry, he doesn't know how to persuade him, this matter was ordered by Xiao Mohan, he just did what he was ordered, so he was also very embarrassed.
"Miss Qian, you can't go out, General Xiao hasn't come back to me yet, the situation outside is unknown, you better stay here and wait for the general first."
Yuan Ying saw that Qian Qianqian was about to leave the mansion, so he immediately went over to stop her, Xiao Mohan asked him to escort Qian Qianqian out of the general's mansion and go to a safe place, but he didn't expect Qian Qianqian not to leave, and it has been delayed until now, and the plan can't catch up with the changes, so Qian Qianqian can't leave.
"See for yourself, what has become of this general's mansion? There are corpses everywhere, the smell of blood is disgusting, I want to stay here, but can I stay? And Xue Yi is seriously injured and needs to be treated, if I don't go out to find someone else to help, will I let Xue Yi wait for death? ”
Qian Qianqian suddenly raised her eyes, her tone became excited, she frowned, and the corners of her forehead were covered with blue tendons.
Yuan Ying was also stunned, he didn't expect Qian Qianqian to be so annoyed, in this way, the General's Mansion was really unbearable, but even so, he couldn't let Qian Qianqian go out alone.
The rescuers brought by Yuanying were guarding all over the General's Mansion, and those maids and maids who were still alive were all terrified, some were injured, and those who were not injured were also like ashes, and the entire General's Mansion was shrouded in a heavy and lifeless air, which made people breathless.
"My subordinates will go with you." Yuan Ying had been following Qian Qianqian, but Qian Qianqian stopped and turned her head to glance at him coldly.
"If you leave, what will Xue Yi do? She is still in a coma, this general's mansion is in chaos, who will take care of her? ”
Qian Qianqian said it as a matter of course, reasonable, no one knows the specific situation of the capital at the moment, in case another group of enemy troops emerges from the shadows, wouldn't Xue Yi be in danger?
"But your subordinates can't let you go out alone, if General Xiao knows, he won't be able to spare his subordinates."
Yuan Ying is very persistent, in his opinion, Qian Qianqian is much more important than Xue Yi, these dead soldiers were originally for Xiao Mohan, and their lives are all Xiao Mohan's, Xue Yi is no exception, but Qian Qianqian is very different.
"General Xiao doesn't know where it is right now, and when he knows, I will explain to you that Xue Yi has protected me for so long, and I have long had feelings for her, so you should help me, stay here and take care of her, and I will go back as soon as I go."
Qian Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, her long and thick eyelashes blocked her emotions, although she was angry in her heart, she still tried her best to suppress her emotions and did not explode immediately.
Yuan Ying was also moved by her, and after thinking about it again, Yuan Ying still stayed, and Qian Qianqian went out of the house alone.
As soon as she went out, Qian Qianqian was shocked by the desertion outside, there was no one on the long street, and she could see a few corpses without walking a few steps, looking at the clothes on their bodies, there were both Xiao Heng's people and the imperial court soldiers and horses, it seemed that the capital had just experienced a fierce battle.
Qian Qianqian didn't care about this, and went straight to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the situation in the palace was unknown at the moment, and she couldn't get in, so it was most appropriate to go to Shao Huaigu, after all, Shao Huaigu must know the inside story of this matter.
The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were many officials waiting outside the door, and when they saw Qian Qianqian, they stopped her.
"Stop, who's who?"
The official asked coldly, with a vigilant face, and his hand subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife, as if he would draw the knife at any time and result in Qian Qianqian.
"I'm Qian Qianqian, I want to see Master Shao." Qian Qianqian's expression was solemn, she just spit out a few words lightly, and she didn't look at these officers and soldiers at all, such a bearing is really staggering.
"I'm from the General's Mansion, if you don't report it immediately, something big happens, I promise, you will definitely fall to the ground."
Qian Qianqian saw that these officials did not move at all, so she opened her mouth to remind her, her eyes were sharp, her face was full of indifference, and her eyes were full of indescribable stubbornness, as if she was hiding a sharp blade.
As soon as the official heard the general's mansion, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately went in to report, and after a while, he walked out and asked Qian Qianqian to come in.
Shao Huaigu seemed to have guessed that Qian Qianqian would come, so he waited in the courtyard early this morning, and when he saw Qian Qianqian, a smile appeared on his face, but he didn't get up to greet him.
"I've had another leg problem, so Miss Qian, please forgive me for not being able to get up to greet me."
Shao Huaigu touched his legs, put down the fold in his hand, and explained.
Qian Qianqian naturally doesn't stick to this kind of thing, she came to ask Shao Huaigu about business, as for whether Shao Huaigu can get up to greet her, she doesn't care at all.
"Xue Yi was seriously injured, left a lot of blood, and is unconscious at the moment, and I can't get a doctor, so Lord Shao, can you send someone to the General's Mansion to give Xue Yi a good look."
Qian Qianqian walked in front of Shao Huaigu, there was no superfluous look on her face, her eyebrows were cold, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she didn't look like a discussion at all, as if she had already decided on this matter.
"Really? Naturally, there is no problem, Xue Yi is General Xiao's most powerful subordinate, she was injured, and I should send someone to save her. ”
Shao Huaigu smiled lightly, still warm as jade, as soon as the words fell, he called the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to personally take the best doctor in the house to the general's mansion to treat Xueyi.
"Right now, the General's Mansion is full of mourning, but this Right Prime Minister's Mansion is peaceful, Lord Shao, it's really time for you to have a leg disease, you chose yourself out so easily, and you have nothing to lose."
Qian Qianqian sneered and spoke slowly, her tone was strange, and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Miss Qian, I think you also know that this matter is General Xiao's meaning, I don't come forward, I also take care of the overall situation, I am not a military general, I have no soldiers in my hands, and this leg and foot are inconvenient, if I enter the palace, not only can I not help, but also become a burden, so it is better to live and raise in this mansion, not to mix with external affairs, and save General Xiao trouble."
Shao Huaigu looked at Qian Qianqian's expression, and knew what should have happened, if Qian Qianqian didn't know anything about Xiao Mohan's arrangement, she would never have come here in such a hurry, and the blood stains on her body hadn't dried yet, it seemed that she should have escaped death.
"Do you know how many people died in the General's Mansion last night? As a courtier of Xiao Guo, how can you speak so easily? There is also leisure to watch excerpts here, are you worthy of this right phase? ”
Qian Qianqian saw Shao Huaigu so leisurely, and she couldn't get angry in her heart, she didn't deliberately target Shao Huaigu, but just hugged the innocent undead in the General's Mansion.
"Miss Qian, I know you are kind-hearted, but sometimes you are too kind, you are ignorant, you only saw this time, how many people died in the General's Mansion, and you don't want to think about it, if you don't kill Xiao Heng earlier, once Xiao Heng openly rebels, the two armies will inevitably fight, how many people will die on the battlefield, and how many innocent people will be implicated?"
Shao Huaigu lifted his thin lips lightly, his expression was still relaxed, if it was really a right phase, it was different from Yuan Ying, and he was the first to be the way in theory.
"Just because of this, you can abandon the General's Mansion? If it weren't for Yuanying to rescue the soldiers, I would have died, what you did was too ruthless. ”
Qian Qianqian couldn't help but get excited, her eyebrows were tightly locked, her hands were clenched into fists, and a layer of sticky sweat appeared in her palms.
"Although we abandoned the General's Mansion, we never thought of leaving you, if you didn't stay at that time, but followed Yuan Ying and Xue Yi, Xue Yi would not have been seriously injured, and everything that followed would not have happened."
Shao Huaigu said lightly, he knew Xiao Mohan's plan, so he was a little surprised to learn that Yuan Ying came here to move the rescue troops last night, in his opinion, Qian Qianqian should have followed Yuan Ying and Xue Yi to a safe place a long time ago.
"If I don't stay, there will be hundreds of people in the general's mansion, not a single one of them will survive, and all those maids will be ruined, I know that there will be sacrifices in the war, but I can't stand by and watch those innocent people die so miserably one by one."
Qian Qianqian's expression was gloomy, today's Shao Huaigu really made her very strange, she always thought that Shao Huaigu cared about the people of Xiao Guo the most, but she didn't expect that it was not what she thought at all, Shao Huaigu was ruthless, it was like a changed person.
"Miss Qian, you did save a lot of lives in the General's Mansion by staying, but have you ever thought that those officials who followed Yuanying back to save you, they didn't have to die, but now they are dying because of you, their lives are also lives, and using their lives to exchange the lives of those maids in the General's Mansion, is it worth the loss?"
Shao Huaigu spoke in a soft tone, as if he felt that Qian Qianqian's idea was very ridiculous, his face was cold, his face was already pale, and now he was becoming more and more detached.
Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, she patronized the people who wanted to be in the General's Mansion, and she didn't realize the price paid to keep those people, sure enough, Shao Huaigu, the right minister, was not for nothing, he really had real skills.
"So, I'm out of thought this time?"
Although Qian Qianqian felt that Shao Huaigu was right, she still didn't agree with it from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't be as rational as Shao Huaigu, she had to weigh the pros and cons every step she took, she was more focused on the present, and she wanted to protect as many people as she could keep now.
"It's not that you don't think about it, it's that you think too thoughtfully, but you make a mistake, you care about the lives of everyone in the General's Mansion, and you'd rather put yourself in danger than protect them, that's right, but you forgot, by sacrificing them, you can protect more people, and you think thoughtfully for them, so you ignore this."
Shao Huaigu hit the nail on the head and said it very firmly, so that Qian Qianqian suddenly had nothing to say.
"General Xiao is also helpless this time, if you are angry in your heart, just sprinkle it on me, when General Xiao comes back, you must not be like this, what he is most worried about these days is you, in order to protect your safety, he even gave me a death order, if you have three long and two short, let me be buried with me, and when Xiao Heng and Yang Guo are destroyed, he will also come down to accompany us."
Shao Huaigu knew Qian Qianqian's temperament, so he kindly reminded him, Xiao Mohan has been managing every opportunity in the past few days, and it is not easy to deploy everything, although he doesn't know the final result yet, but if Xiao Mohan wins, he will definitely be very depressed if he is blamed by Qian Qianqian like this.
"I understand, don't worry, I don't blame him."
Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, tearing the corners of her mouth, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.
