Chapter 9 Deceived

Li Xuan left Qinzhou, Qin Xi's life was as calm as in the past, on this day she was reading the documents sent by Qi Ao in the study, she was contemplating her eyebrows, there was someone to Bing, Dugu Hao sat in the front hall and waited to see her. She put down the paperwork and thought to herself what trick Dugu Hao was playing again. With his temperament, when did he not come to the study directly to find her, when did he learn to be polite?

She was led to the front hall by her subordinates, Dugu Hao sat upright in white, holding tea in his hand, the tea is good tea, but it is not the strong tea he usually likes, but the clear tea she likes more, she said casually: "You are strange today, you actually like the Longjing in my house." In the past, I boiled this tea, but you refused to drink it, saying that the taste of the tea was too light and the aftertaste was insufficient. ”

Dugu Hao raised his eyes, his face was very charming, but his smile was not very natural, and he was less pompous: "Is it?" Maybe it's the change of season, and it's okay to take a few sips. ”

Qin Xi sat down on the main seat, raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, why did you come to me?" ”

Murong Ying was locked in the house for nearly a month, she didn't think about tea and dinner, she didn't leave the house, and it was rumored that she was too sad and was about to go crazy. His short-lived husband's family was greatly moved, and asked the elders of the clan to go to Murong Mansion, saying that they would accept Murong Ying as their goddaughter. ”

Qin Xi was not surprised at all, Murong Ying's bitter trick was a last resort, but it was the only way to break through the predicament. She would rather not marry again but also maintain the reputation of the Murong family: "Although her husband's family cannot compete with the Murong Dugu family, in the end, it is a prominent family in Qinzhou, and her harvest is a great luck in misfortune." If you come to me to shut up for this matter, you don't have to, I won't *interfere* in what she wants to do, as long as she doesn't touch my bottom line, I don't mind being blind and deaf. ”

Dugu Hao's expression couldn't hide the surprise: "You are very different from before. ”

"There is such a thing as temperament, as the days go by, it will naturally grind out, and I am not as good as you eleven in terms of the city government."

He smiled slightly, but he was more calm than usual: "I came to you for another matter." ”

"When do you talk to me, you like to go around the bend, and just say it."

Qin Xi has never had much patience with Dugu Hao, and he has known each other since childhood, and he is used to speaking directly, hearing him so gentle, he guessed that something bad was wrong: "I have to face whatever you say." ”

His eyes darkened: "It's really not a good thing." ”

"Murong Ying's marriage has changed, which has somewhat swept the face of the Murong family, there are many people in the clan who oppose her continuing to take the throne, she is forced to hand over part of the power first, according to the news from my side, most of the people who oppose it were instigated by Chu Hong. Chu Hong chose the Murong family to strike first, nothing more than taking into account the strength of the Murong family in making weapons, and wanted to cut off Qinzhou's ability to resist the enemy by force from the source. ”

What he said was what she thought, Qin Xi nodded: "He is a cautious and insidious person, and he will not do thankless things. Once you make a move, you must have planned the next two or three steps, first Murong Ying, and soon you, have you thought of a way to deal with it? ”

He reverted to his impropriety: "I'm not like Murong Ying who is stupid to get married, if you don't marry me, I don't want anyone to marry, and I have no children under my knees, and I don't have a dead hole." Moreover, I have a lot of secrets of the southern royal family in my hands, and I should weigh it when Chu Hong provokes me. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Xi thought and explained what he had been thinking about in the past few days: "If Murong Ying's matter is just a trick, have you ever thought that Chu Hong is a drunkard and does not mean to drink?" The person he wants to hit is me, could it be that his target from the beginning was me, and in order to confuse our sights, he took the lead in attacking Murong Ying? ”

Her intuition has always been sharp, she hasn't been going anywhere these days, staying in the house to think, there must be details that she didn't find and didn't figure out, the war between Daqi and the south is about to end, and the south is defeated, which is very unfavorable to Chu Hong's government. On the other hand, Qinzhou is too quiet, very unusually quiet.

Her searching gaze fell on Dugu Hao's shoulder, something was about to come out of her mind, and it happened that a young guy with a raw eye ran into the front hall, looking flustered, unsteady pace, kneeling straight in front of her, the little guy followed by the subordinates of the Qin Mansion, it seemed that he didn't stop the person, so he ran in recklessly.

Without waiting for Qin Xi to inquire, the man cried and shouted: "Miss Qin, go and see our eldest lady, it's too late——"

The little maid snorted and cried, and her sad appearance didn't look like a fake, and what other young lady of the family dared to run to her house to make such a fuss, Qin Xi's eyes were cold, and the hatred was obvious: "Is there no one in Murong Mansion?" "Murong Ying actually let such a reckless little guy come over, is it already untouchable?

The little girl was shocked by her majesty, frightened to tears, came back to her senses, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Little recklessness, please Miss Qin don't worry about a lot, it's really urgent, my young lady vomited blood in the morning and fainted, the doctor said that someone poisoned the food, and the young lady woke up and ordered me to ask Miss Qin to come over." ”

He seemed to be worried that Qin Xi would not believe it, so he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and held it up in the air: "My young lady said that if Miss Qin is not willing to go this way, as long as she takes out this jade pendant, Miss Qin will definitely believe me." ”

Of course Qin Xi recognized that she threw it in Shanhailou to break off her childhood friendship with Murong Ying, and Murong Ying redeemed it again, she sneered, turned her head and glanced at Dugu Hao, the sarcasm in her eyes was almost imperceptible: "If it is an ordinary poison, I am afraid that she will not think of me, it seems that this poison is heavy, and it is vital to life." She has already betrayed me once, should I go this time, what do you think? ”

Dugu Hao smiled, and he couldn't see any emotion in his eyes: "At the moment, Murong Ying can't die yet, your guess is reasonable, but once Qinzhou and the southern kingdom start a war, the Murong clan will have no leader, and the chaos will affect the overall situation." This trip is a must-go, and I'll go with you. ”

At this time, her status as the city lord came in handy, no matter how bad Murong Ying was, with the support of the city lord on the surface, she would not be defeated. Stabilizing the game is the best policy.

"I know what you mean." Qin Xi said to the little guy, "How did you come to the Qin Mansion?" ”

"Back to Miss Qin, the little one rode a fast horse, and the horse was outside the mansion."

"That's very good." She instructed her subordinates: "Hurry up and prepare two batches of fast horses, and Dugu Hao and I will go to Qinfu." If I haven't turned back before dark, tell Qi Ao to go to the study and finish the rest of the official documents for me. ”

She turned to Dugu Hao and said, "I'll go change my clothes, and you wait for me for a while." ”

Qin Xi and Dugu Hao rode on the road one by one, one after the other, and when they were not far from Murong Mansion, she suddenly proposed to take another road, Dugu Hao hesitated: "That road is-"

"It's the road that Murong Ying's husband was attacked on when he went to greet his relatives." She pulled the reins and rode towards this road, Dugu Hao saw that she insisted, and followed, he couldn't see through what she was thinking, just a little girl hurriedly came to report, she heard the news of Murong Ying's poisoning, she was unexpectedly calm, if she didn't care about Murong Ying's life and death at all, he didn't believe it.

This road is spacious but quiet, and the houses on both sides of the road are neatly regulated, Qin Xi can't remember what this place is for a while: "Dugu Hao, do you think we can go to Murong Mansion safe and sound?" ”

His face changed, and he smiled very unnaturally: "With me, you don't have to worry." ”

Qin Xi deliberately slowed down, her hearing was excellent, her ears had already caught the sound of the tiles moving, someone was following them all the way on the roof, she rode a short distance, suddenly raised her hand knife, and quickly attacked Dugu Hao.

"Qin Xi!" Dugu Hao was unprepared, and when he dodged, his body tilted to the side, and he was about to fall off the horse. He struck the horse's belly with a palm wind, and the horse fell to the other side in pain, but it didn't press him, he knelt down on one knee to stabilize his figure, raised his head to look at Qin Xi who turned the horse's head and stopped, and said with a smile: "Are you crazy?!" ”

He was a little careless, at this time, he was afraid that he had broken his muscles and bones, this woman is so ruthless!

"Dugu Hao" stood up, straightened Liyue's white robe, and his demeanor was as graceful as the moon: "When did you see through me?" "It was a failure to pretend to be an identical person, but to be seen by her in such a short time.

Qin Xi was still sitting on horseback, although he was also dressed in white, his lonely temperament was as quiet as water, which was very different from Dugu Hao's pretending to be flawed: "At the beginning, when you drank tea, you showed flaws. ”

"Oh-" Silent smiled, "Did you see through it from the beginning?" But I don't know where I showed my flaws? ”

One by one, the killers hidden on the roof appeared, and at a cursory glance, there were no less than twenty people, and they surrounded the two of them. Qin Xi understood that Chu Hong was determined to capture her this time, she was already invincible alone, and with twenty killers with superb martial arts, she was doomed. She simply dismounted: "You are nine points similar to him, and you can't see the difference just by your looks." It's just that you came by coincidence, and he just had a fight with me yesterday. Dugu Hao is a person, but if he quarrels, he will definitely have a cold war with me for a few days, and he will not come to me again so soon. ”

"The only explanation he came to me in such a hurry is that he was trapped by Murong Ying, and only this gap can't get out, and you are unwilling to give up this good opportunity."

Silent and smiling, his smile was very warm, with a soft light: "Qin Xi, you have changed, your mind is pure, but you are more meticulous, it is not a good thing for a woman to be too smart, you must know the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng." ”

"When I first saw you in the front hall, I tried it a little, and deliberately said that Dugu Hao likes to drink strong tea, but in fact, his favorite drink is Longjing. He is a frequent visitor to my house, how can my subordinates not know this, and serve him tea that he does not like to drink? ”

"Your biggest flaw is that you have disappeared for too long, Dugu Hao and I secretly sent many people who can't find your traces, only a more powerful person can protect you, the world is so big, besides Chu Hong, who else can you rely on?"

In the few days she has been closed, what she thinks about the most is silence. He appeared, and Chu Hong was not far from her.
