Xue Mo stiffened, Princess Xingran and Emperor Dongqi were also stiff, and except for Wan Qishu, who had not changed his face for a moment, all the princes and ministers present and the young handsome couldn't help but stiffen. The sudden reversal of the situation left everyone stunned.

This is probably Xue Mo's most memorable retrospective.

This glance was originally a glance at him from being a subservient to a subordinate to dominating Dongqi, but now, it has become a glance at him from a shining star to a prisoner under the stairs. The world is unpredictable so far, so that the historians who later recorded this incident could not hide their sighs.

Wan Qishu half-closed his eyes, as if he was very tired after waiting for a night, and even his eyes and tone became lazy: "General Xue, do you know what crime should be committed for premeditated rebellion in "The Law of Eastern Qi"? ”

Xue Mo's throat moved, his expression was extremely stiff, and his voice was extremely hoarse: "Left and right are just a dead word." ”

"No, the Criminal Department proofreads, adds and subtracts from the previous "Dongqi Great Law" last winter, which adds to the crime of premeditated rebellion, if General Xue can say the person who commanded it, he can be spared death." Wan Qi Shu Dao.

If you don't know Wan Qianshu, I'm afraid you think that he is trying to persuade Xue Mo with good words and find a way to survive, but the ministers present all know Wan Qianshu's behavior and methods, so when everyone hears his words, they understand that Xue Mo will definitely die.

Why?

Because the word "instructed" is too damning. Influenced by the thieves over the years, Xue Mo followed General Xue Chu to garrison and fight on the East Coast all the year round, and General Xue Lao was upright and did not swear allegiance to the Dongqi Emperor, and he was extremely disgusted with the collusion between officials. Therefore, the only person who can instruct Xue Mo is the father of Xue Mo, who just passed away this spring and was buried in the imperial mausoleum by the Eastern Qi Emperor with the funeral of the country-General Xue Chuxue.

If Xue Mo said that he was instructed by his father, his father had passed away, and there was no proof of death, he followed Wan Qishu's words, and it was really, very easy to live.

But Xue Mo could not choose this path of life, he would not allow his father, who was already brilliant in history, who had been buried in a beautiful way, and whose father who had been buried in the ground, to be dug out of the grave, whipped and trampled on the body, and was scolded by thousands of people.

This is where Wan Qishu's ruthlessness lies, he is showing Xue Mo the way on the surface, but in fact, he has made up his mind to put Xue Mo to death.

With such thoughts and routines, how Xue Mo didn't know, how Xing Ran didn't know. In the silence, the suppressed emotions are like thousands of resentful souls in the gloomy and treacherous underworld, trying to find an exit to release and break through the dreary summer night with a bloody attitude.

Xing Ran was afraid that she also smelled the murderous intent and raging hidden in this quiet night, so she hurriedly spoke in a panic and chaos, she was afraid that it would be too late if she didn't speak: "Lord Wan Qi! If it weren't for the princess who was going to choose a horse tonight, if it wasn't for the princess who had expressed her intentions with Xue Mo before, he would never have made such a big mistake on the spur of the moment! General Xue has been buried in Qingshan for a long time, and Major General Xue is a rare general in the army. ”

Wan Qishu's always peaceful gaze suddenly cooled, and then he sneered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are wrong. The more we employ people, the more we must select them according to strict criteria. If you don't choose food, clothing, or people when you're hungry, why don't you recruit generals directly from Jinguo, Beiyu, Ning, or even from the Wa Kingdom? After a pause, he turned to Xue Mo, his wide sleeves vibrating, and his posture was dignified, "Can General Xue agree with what he said?" ”

This is the first time Xue Mo has looked at the child in front of him so closely, no, this genius boy who has been famous in the Dongqi Dynasty since he was six years old, and was promoted from the head of the Criminal Department to the waiter of the Criminal Department within two years, suddenly gave birth to a wandering image in his mind, in that image, he became a piece of land, a brick, a step, a lonely young man, lightly dressed in a robe, climbed the steps, from the head of the Criminal Department, to the head of the Criminal Department, to the Shilang of the Criminal Department, and then to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and finally the official to the Prime Minister, one person under ten thousand people.

He is a step on Wan Qishu's official path, and stepping on this step, Wan Qishu is one step closer to the highest right.

Thinking of this, he probably smiled, and there was a damp mist in his deep eyes: "I didn't expect that I, Xue Mo, a twenty-two-year-old general, would be defeated by an eight-year-old child. It is really not easy for Lord Wan Qi to get this matter out of the mouths of those who swear allegiance to this general, and detain them all and replace them with yours. ”

Wan Qishu's expression relaxed a lot: "Speaking of which, General Xue's cronies are really remarkable, when there are few interrogations for more than six hours, the people who can stay here for six hours are all people who disregard life and death, and regard loyalty and benevolence as tens of millions of dollars more important than their lives." ”

"Why are you telling me this?"

"In order to let General Xue know, you have not seen the wrong person."

The night breeze finally cooled down, and when it blew through Xue Mo's cheeks, it brought up a few locks of his sideburns, revealing the young man's unique uninhibited and carefree beauty, the extremely long and thick eyelashes bent in the wind, and there was no sadness in his voice: "Thank you, Lord Wan Qi, for telling me, Xue Mo regrets not knowing you earlier." ”

"Your Majesty," the young general Huo Ran turned around, raised his dark robe, and saluted solemnly to the emperor on the throne, "Xue Mo deserves death, but all this is Xue Mo's own idea, and it has nothing to do with his father." When my father was alive, he told the guilty ministers that those who are ministers are loyal to the king and love the people. All this today should be despised by my father. The minister begged for a clean death, and begged His Majesty to throw the remains of the minister into the East China Sea, and never bury them on land, so as to tarnish my father's reputation as a hero. ”

Speaking of this, the man turned his head with a light smile, obviously he had reached the abyss, but he smiled more truly and gently than ever, and his eyelashes fluttered lightly and inconspicuously, like the wings of the most beautiful butterfly moth, which made Xing Ran's heart tremble.

"Your Royal Highness, there is nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with you, and even in many ways you are better than the girl I like. If he hadn't met Qin Buxian in the south in advance, then Xue Mo would have been extremely happy tonight. But fate is such a thing, extremely mysterious, how much you can't forget, how much you can't ask. Fortunately, the princess is still young, and she still has a good time to meet the young man who is happy with each other. ”

A sharp stinging pain overflowed from Xing Ran's heart, and she suddenly found that she couldn't control everything that happened under the night sky, and she wouldn't listen to what she said, and Xue Mo wouldn't listen to it.

But she really couldn't accept that a living life was passed away like this, and it was the life that she had watched, looked at the whole girlhood, disturbed her and made her ecstatic, but it seemed that it was too late.

A cold light suddenly appeared in Xue Mo's right hand, and the cold light tore through the dark night, and finally sank into his chest with a swift attitude. The bitter spirits tearing and wailing in the dungeon finally found an outlet forged by blood and water, pushing and squeezing and rushing out—

"Xue Mo————"

Before that, Xing Ran thought that he would never be able to lose his temper like this, and he would never be able to hold a corpse in front of so many princes and ministers, and tears poured down.

It's summer, and it's raining. The rootless water washed over the boy she liked, and there was a dagger on his chest, which she had drawn on rice paper during her break from designing the cannonball, and had been processed by the best craftsmen of the Military Cooperation Division, and she had given Xue Mo a gift on his twentieth birthday. Tonight, perhaps he took the gift to give her back, but in the end it did not reach her, and twenty sank into his own chest.

Xiaoxiao rain fell, and the starlight on the silver dress was dimmed and loosened, but the jade-like hand grabbed Xue Mo's clothes and never let go for a moment.

Emperor Dongqi failed to persuade her away, the princes and ministers, and the handsome sons failed to persuade her to leave, and in the end, Wan Qishu was by her side and held up an umbrella for her. Yes, Wan Qishu will not only try the case, but also watch the celestial phenomena, Bu Ji, he expected it to rain tonight, so he brought an umbrella. It seemed that not only the rain, but also this terrible change was expected by him.

"How long are you going to hold him?" The young man with the umbrella said tiredly.

She heard something, looked up in a daze, looked at the alienated and lonely young man under the umbrella, wanted to laugh but couldn't: "Brother Xiaoshu, are you happy, he finally got what you wanted...... He's dead. ”

The boy laughed for her, and he smiled so brightly and dazzlingly that even the rain curtains around him became a foil: "Yes, I'm very happy." Exactly as I had planned, I didn't waste a single second. ”
