560 Trade-offs
"Naturally, you can go." Ye Zhun responded, his footsteps did not stop, just right, he walked to a palace gate, and sure enough, he was not stopped by the forbidden army guarding the door.
But Pei Jinzhen involuntarily stopped.
Ye Zhun heard that she didn't follow, stopped and looked back, but his eyebrows were slightly raised, "What's wrong?" ”
Pei Jinzhen struggled a little on his face, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "After leaving the palace, my brother will go by himself, I thought about it, Brother Sheng'er should not be in danger of his life, I will negotiate with Xiao Qi, and my brother will not have to go." ”
Ye Zhun looked at her for a moment with deep eyes, "Don't think too much." Dropping this sentence, he turned around and continued to move forward.
Pei Jinzhen hurriedly grabbed the corner of his skirt and trotted to follow.
Leaving the palace gate, it was a long sandwich road, and there was no one left and right, so Pei Jinzhen quickly followed, and while walking side by side with Ye Zhun, he whispered, "Last night, I thought a lot, this matter is really strange." How could Xiao Qi think of using Brother Sheng to blackmail you? Not to mention, what does he want to blackmail his brother, why does he think that Brother Sheng can blackmail you? Naturally, it was because he knew something, but how did he know about it? ”
Ye Zhun finally stopped, and looked at her calmly as if with two points of patience, "Since you have thought of this, you should know that this trip, I have to go." ”
"Brother can't go." Pei Jinzhen had a white face, but she was very persistent, she could think of it, and Ye Zhun naturally thought of it a long time ago, from the beginning, this was the layout for him.
Even Xiao Qi is just a knife in the hands of others.
"If I don't go through this experience, do you think we can get out of this palace safely? Even if you can get out of the palace gate, what then? Escape from Fengjing City? Even if you escape, so what? I'm just barely breathing, and I don't know how many years I have to live, what about you? What about the time? And what about Brother Sheng? What do you do? ”
Every time Ye Zhun said a word, Pei Jinzhen's face turned pale.
"Using the life of my dying man in exchange for your long-term peace in the future, this business is still very cost-effective. And he had already decided that I would not have any other choice. ”
Pei Jinzhen heard that his heart seemed to have broken a hole, and the cold wind swished straight into it.
Ye Zhun had already taken another step.
Pei Jinzhen had a white face and chased after him in a trance.
There was nothing to say all the way, and I went out of Wuding Gate. Zhao An had already driven the carriage, waited outside the door, and got into the carriage one after another.
When the carriage swayed and ran up, Pei Jinzhen said in a muffled voice, "Brother has already guessed it?" "Xiao Qi will know the relationship between Yan Chong and Ye Zhun, and he will inevitably be inseparable from Emperor Yonghe. In other words, Emperor Yonghe wants him to know, and he will know.
And when Xiao Qi knew, he would definitely feel that Ye Zhun had deceived him from the beginning, and with his heart, he would even blame Ye Zhun for his current failure.
He has nothing at this time, like a lost dog, where will Ye Zhun be better? There will inevitably be revenge.
That's why Brother Sheng was kidnapped.
Ye Zhun half-closed his eyes and said "um" softly.
"Not just guessed, he admitted it himself."
Confessed it in person? How dare he? Pei Jinzhen has mixed feelings in her heart, she has always respected Emperor Yonghe in the past, for Daliang, he is a Ming Jun, for them, he is a generous and loving elder, but he didn't expect that in order to deal with Ye Zhun, he actually ......
Pei Jinzhen bit his lip, and the change in his expression couldn't avoid Ye Zhun's sharp eyes. There was no need to dig deeper, Ye Zhun already knew her thoughts.
"Actually, human nature is the same for everyone, if it were me, I was afraid that it would be even more ruthless."
This remark caused Pei Jinzhen to look at him in disbelief.
Why did it happen that overnight, his attitude towards Emperor Yonghe had also changed?
"He just guessed that I wasn't dead, and felt that it was dangerous to let me go, and that he wouldn't be able to take the time crookedly, so he thought about forcing me, at least letting me show up, and I couldn't hide in the shadows anymore. But how do you force it? Xiao Qi is a ready-made candidate. He knew Xiao Qi, and he expected that he would go crazy if he knew about my relationship with Xu Shi, but he didn't expect Xiao Qi to attack Brother Sheng, let alone hurt Jing Anhou. ”
After saying this, Ye Zhun raised his eyes, and saw Pei Jinzhen looking at him inexplicably, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "What?" But I wonder how I can say this so calmly? ”
Pei Jinzhen looked a little embarrassed, "I just thought about ......" How could he be such a paranoid person, how could he let go of his obsession so easily?
"In any case, I have to admit that he is indeed more fit to be a king than my father, perhaps...... The time is right. ”
Ye Zhun said ominously.
Pei Jinzhen wanted to say something more, but the carriage slowly stopped at this moment, and Zhao An's voice came from outside the car, "Young master, it's here!" ”
"Here we are." Ye Zhun looked calm, lifted the thick sheepskin felt, and got out of the carriage.
Pei Jinzhen came back to her senses in a trance, just to see his back, and it wasn't until soon later that she realized that he let go of the obsession he had been obsessed with for half his life, but it was just because, in the face of more important things, he already knew how to choose and guard.
The place agreed on the note is here, outside the south gate, a section of the abandoned city wall.
This was the location of the south gate at the beginning of the previous dynasty, and later, due to the diversion of the Lujiang River, the root of the city wall was eroded, and the south gate was moved back to the current place.
The original city gate has not been demolished, it stands on the side of the Lujiang River, and it is also a ready-made embankment, but over time, the city wall and city gate have been washed away by the flowing water, and only a section of the broken wall remains, silently telling the changes of the years.
Last night, it snowed heavily all night, and the Lujiang River was even more solid, and the thorn bushes under the city wall were full of ice strips.
"Young master!" Zhao An raised his hand and pointed towards the top of the city wall.
Ye Zhun and Pei Jinzhen both looked up, and sure enough, they saw a figure standing faintly on the edge of the battlements of the city wall.
Pei Jinzhen couldn't hold back the urgency in his heart anymore, and took the corner of his skirt and hurriedly stepped over.
Ye Zhun grabbed Zhao An and commanded in a low voice, "Later, I will definitely protect the second young lady." ”
Zhao An was silent, staring at him, and after a while, he finally lowered his head and responded in a dumb voice, "Yes." ”
There is still a stone staircase left in the city wall, and after so many years, although it is slightly damaged, it is still quite smooth.
Halfway through, Pei Jinzhen was caught up by Ye Zhun, and with a look, she was asked to "go behind".
Ye Zhun was the first to open the way in front, she was one step behind, and behind her was Zhao An.
The three of them went up to the city wall, facing the north wind, Pei Jinzhen saw Xiao Qi at a glance, and also saw the small figure behind him, who was holding in his arms, Brother Sheng was still wearing yesterday's royal blue tuanhua jacket, however, his little face was red from the cold.
When Pei Jinzhen saw it, his eyes turned red.
