When I looked up, I was facing Qin Lang's phoenix eyes, and when I saw him bowing slightly at me, he gave me an encouraging look.

I instantly adjusted my mentality: Yes, now that the fat man and Pan Gongzi are still in the hands of Ping'an Hou, the juncture of all kinds of crises is not the time to show pity.

Previously, we also speculated that the Marquis of Ping An was unwilling to exchange the Marseille race for the prince, and thought of a way to do it.

It's just that this trick is really vicious, and I really don't want to show it if I'm helpless.

I pretended to sneer mercilessly: "What a non-toxic husband!" It seems that Master Hou is planning to sacrifice Miss Ma's life. Turning around and coming to Marseille's side, he took a sharp dagger from the dark guard's hand, "Miss Ma, you also heard it, it's your father who doesn't want to keep you, so you have to figure out who you want to ask for your life when you turn into a ghost!" โ€

With that, I ordered the two guards to put the limp Marseille back up, and I reached out and ripped open the placket of her clothes.

"What are you doing, little brute?!" Seeing that his daughter was indecently insulted, Ping'an Hou ran away again, but was pressed to death by Qin Lang and the two secret guards, so he had to struggle in vain, "Lao Tzu killed you!" โ€

I stared at his red eyes without fear, and pretended to be a hideous and cruel look: "Since Master Hou doesn't want to keep this daughter, I will take action for you, and I will kill her." โ€

As I spoke, I slowly pressed the tip of the dagger against her sternum, deliberately squeezing the force, only shallowly cutting through the skin, and blood gushed out at once,

"From the left acromion, to the sternum." I deliberately said word by word, clearly and slowly, in line with the movement of my hands, "and then diagonally up to the right acromion." A "V"-shaped blood mark appeared on Marseille's fair skin with these words.

Marseille was already frightened, and only repeated mechanically: "Don't ...... Don't kill me......"

I also strongly restrained my hand that almost trembled and abandoned the knife, and did not dare to look at the miserable white ghostly face of Marseille, so I had to turn my gaze to Ping'an Hou, and try to make my tone flat and weird, like the perverted murderer I saw in the movie in my previous life:

"Master Hou, do you know how to disembowel your stomach so that you can take out the same things inside?" With the dagger in my hand, I gently descended from the wound on Marseille's chest and said, "Just go down from here, all the way down to the pubic bone." The "V" shape had an extra blood stain and became a "Y" shape, "Look, isn't it convenient?" I made a vicious smile at Ping'an Hou, "From here, you can open Miss Ma's belly, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys inside are clearly visible." โ€

At this point, Marseille had already rolled his eyes and fainted, and Ping'an Hou was completely torn apart, and his heavy breathing was like a defeated beast.

Seeing that he was still silent after restraining himself, I continued to laugh miserably: "Master Hou, do you know how to win people's hearts? โ€

"Enough!"

Ping'an Hou suddenly roared, startling many birds in the forest, and even I, the initiator, couldn't help but tremble in horror.

And after that roar, Ping'an Hou's originally violent body, holding Pu Dao's hand, finally fell.

"Dungeon." I heard him say in a barely audible voice.

"Where's the dungeon?" Qin Lang on the side asked loudly.

"Backyard, under the pond."

"How do I get in?"

He threw down the Pu knife with a trembling hand, and took out a dark gold bronze medal from his arms, and under the bronze medal was a key, "In the Taihu Stone Cave, use my waist card, and this key." โ€

Ping'an Hou can choose to sacrifice his daughter for ambition, but it is impossible to watch his beloved daughter being abused and killed in front of him, this is the bottom line of human nature.

I threw the dagger in my hand and leaned against the tree next to me, gasping for breath.

It turns out that being a wicked person is also so hard, and the huge psychological pressure makes people almost suffocate.

But Qin Lang couldn't take care of me at this time, took the key and gave me a concerned look, I waved my hand to show that it was okay, and found that my voice was hoarse: "Go quickly!" โ€

Qin Lang motioned to the secret guard to tie the Ping'an Hou strongly, and then led the people to the Ping'an Hou Mansion quickly.

I steadied myself, reached out to probe Marseille's snort and pulse, made sure she was okay, and then walked towards Ping'anhou.

At this moment, Ping'an Hou seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and became a dying old man.

"Master Hou, the matter is urgent, what I did was not out of my heart, I hope Lord Hou will forgive me."

I don't know why, knowing that the person in front of me is inhumane and sinful, I still want to apologize to him.

From my previous life to this life, I have never done anything against my conscience, but what I did to Ping'anhou's father and daughter is definitely a major stain on my life, and it will make me feel guilty for the rest of my life.

Ping'an Hou waved his hand weakly, "Can you let me see Saisai?" โ€

It was clearly an old father's plea, and I quickly had the unconscious Marseille race over.

Ping'an Hou was tied to the tree with his hands behind his back, and motioned for the dark guard to put Marseille's head on his lap, looking down at the pretty face that was once as beautiful as a peach and plum, but now it was pale and bloodless.

"Saisai, I'm afraid you'll never forgive me again."

I really don't know what to say about such a father who abandons first and then pities him: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." โ€

Ping'an Hou sneered in a low voice: "Even if you kidnap me and rescue the prince, with a few of you, you can get out of Huai'an City and cross Gaoyou Lake?" โ€

I also sneered back: "What Master Hou is worried about is also what I think. It was this morning that the soldiers of Zhenhaiwei had already attacked Taixuan, arrested all the lake bandits, and then turned around and headed south, and when the Hou Ye went out to run here, he had surrounded the Ping'an Hou Mansion. By the way, together with the dead soldiers who Hou Ye secretly brought to ambush on the mountainside, they were also solved. I looked down at him and smiled sarcastically, "Otherwise, where do you think I have the confidence to argue with Hou Ye?" โ€

Last night, Qin Lang ordered the Jishui Leopard to take the Jinyi Guard's highest seal letter Golden Feather Arrow, and went to see the commander of Zhenhaiwei overnight, and asked him to urgently transfer 1,000 horses to Huai'an Qinwang to escort him, which was already the largest range of troops and horses that Jinyi Wei could authorize to move.

Hearing this, Ping'an Hou let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in despair.

But after an hour's effort, Qin Lang came back.

To my surprise, the fat man and Pan Gongzi, who had just been rescued, also came.

"Your Highness!" For the rest of my life, I couldn't help but be excited, so I rushed to the fat man in three steps and two steps, and looked him up and down: "Are you okay?" โ€

Seeing that the fat man was unharmed except for some embarrassment, he relieved himself and turned to the figure in green shirt on the side: "...... Are you alright? โ€

Pan Gongzi's hair was a little messy, but he still had a light smile: "It's okay, don't worry." โ€

My nose suddenly ached, and I felt the urge to cry.

was in a state of affection, but saw the fat man push away the guards and take a few steps forward and came to the Ping'an Hou.

"Ma De, five years ago in Beijing City, you and I had a relationship."

The fat man's tone was very flat, chatting and chatting, as if he had forgotten that the person in front of him had almost put him to death.

"Unexpectedly, when I said goodbye that day, it was like this when we met again."

The corners of Ping'anhou's mouth tugged decadently, but he still didn't say a word.

The fat man ignored Ping'an Hou's silence, looked up at the sky in the distance, and vaguely fell into the look of memory, "At that time, the old marquis was still alive, and he could also leap on the horse.

At that time, my father and the emperor raised an army to appease, and the old marquis generously led his troops to follow. In October of that year, my father led a large army to attack Yongping, and asked the old marquis to help me defend Beijing, and you were strongly recommended by the old marquis to my second brother and became an urgent vanguard.

Soon after the army left, Li Jinglong led 500,000 southern troops to invade Beijing. At that time, the old marquis and I had only 10,000 defenders in Beijing, which was tantamount to a drop in the bucket, but the old marquis put life and death out of the way, defended the city with me, and forced 500,000 southern troops outside the city wall for three days!

Later, the army came to the aid and relieved the siege of Beijing, and the old marquis and I both had the good fortune of the rest of our lives. At that time, the old marquis and I were standing at the head of the city, and I promised to celebrate his achievements and become an official and knight. Guess what the old marquis said to me? โ€

Hearing that the fat man recalled his father's old story, a look appeared on Ping'anhou's deathly face, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he shook his head helplessly.

"The old marquis said: I am dying of old age, and I can't do much for King Yan anymore. On the contrary, my son Ma De seems to be rough and acute, but in fact he is rough and fine, and he is a man worthy of great responsibility, much better than me. In the future, if the son wants to achieve great things, my son, can be used. โ€

Hearing this, Ping'an Hou's body was shocked, and two lines of turbid tears finally fell in a pair of godless eyes.

Seeing that he was moved, the fat man took a step forward again, "The old marquis and I are friends of life and death, I believe his words." Although I have never deliberately interacted with you over the years, I have always regarded you as the pillar of the army and the pillar of the country. Looking at the speechless Ping'an Hou, the fat man's eyes flashed with a touch of anger and indisputable sadness, "So far, I just want to ask you: Qingben is a beautiful woman, why do you want to be a thief?" โ€

The fat man's words were moved, and the Marquis of Ping'an finally let out a helpless sigh: "I don't know what kind of person the second prince is, but the Marquis of Ping'an Mansion holds the four guards, and he has a high position in the army, and with his suspicious nature, how can he rest assured." If I don't find a backer, how can I protect myself in the future? The second prince, after all, was born in the army, and naturally relied more on military generals such as us than His Royal Highness the Prince. โ€

Hearing him say this, the fat man did not get angry but laughed: "This is bad! It is precisely because my second brother was born as a military general and thought that the reincarnation of the martial god was unparalleled in the world, so I would regard you military generals as vassals. โ€

"And I," he deliberately pointed to himself, "you have also seen that I am a man with a wide heart and a fat body, and I can't hold a horse or a gun, if I don't rely on you generals, who do I count on to open up territory and defend against the enemy for me?" โ€

The fat man's words made Ping'an Hou tremble like an initiation, and Liang Jiufang laughed bitterly at himself: "Yes, I didn't even understand such a simple truth. It's just that the big mistake has been made, and it's too late! โ€

The fat man smiled: "Fortunately, I am still standing here dignifiedly, but it is not a big mistake that has been made, if you are willing to go back to Beijing with me to ask for guilt, I should judge it for you in front of my father." โ€

The Marquis of Peace stared for a moment, and finally sighed: "That's it, everything is arranged by His Highness." โ€

Until this time, Marseille, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked at the Ping'an Hou in front of her, who was tied up with five flowers and her face was like ashes: "Dad...... What happened to you? โ€

Hearing this soft call, Ping'an Hou was a little choked, "Saisai ......"

Then in the next second, a cold light flashed in Marseille's eyes, as if he remembered something terrible, he suddenly got up and staggered back a few steps, stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at her father, "I remember...... You don't want me anymore...... You want me dead! Then he cried and cried, "How can you ...... How can you bear it, Dad! โ€

This scene of questioning human nature made my heart tense for a while.

Unexpectedly, the Ping'an Hou, who originally had a loveless face, shouted at Marseille in disgust at this moment: "Yes! I don't want you anymore! Because you're not my daughter at all! Stop calling me Daddy! โ€

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

Marseille, who was crying incessantly, was so frightened by Ping'an Hou's sentence that he couldn't believe it: "How is it possible...... You only have a daughter like me...... How could I not be your daughter? โ€

Seeing Ping'an Hou, he sneered: "I never told you that you are a mongrel born to my wife and his cousin in fornication, I didn't want to keep you at that time, but your mother had a difficult birth and blood collapse when she gave birth to you, and when she saw that she couldn't live, she begged me to leave you behind when she was dying, and I was merciful enough to raise you for seventeen years!" โ€

Marseille was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, holding his head with both hands: "This ...... No way! โ€

As if turning a deaf ear to her pain, Ping'anhou's voice became colder and colder: "Get out!" Go back to your biological father! โ€

Marseille fell to his knees in horror, like a frightened little beast, "Daddy......"

"Don't call me Daddy! Get lost! โ€

After a long time, Marseille staggered to his feet, bit his blue lip and said sadly: "Good! I'm leaving! I'll never see you again! โ€

With that, he turned and ran down the mountain.

I stared at her bloody red dress and gradually moved away until there was no trace, and then turned around, but in the eyes of Ping'an Hou Dingge, two lines of turbid tears slowly flowed.

Yes, with what Ping'an Hou did, even if the prince is not investigated, he will not be able to escape the accountability of today.

Hijacking the prince, colluding with the prince, raising lake bandits, and controlling official salt, the four crimes add up, and the nine clans should be punished.

However, just now, he severed the blood relationship between Marseille and him with a single word, and placed her outside the Nine Clans.

This is a father who used the last bit of ability and wisdom in his life to save his daughter's life.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

On the way back to Beijing by boat, because of the escort of the Zhenhaiwei Naval Army, it can be said that the wind and waves are calm and calm.

Unexpectedly, Ping'an Hou was poisoned and died on the ship.

This matter is quite strange, the fat man has been on the boat for two days but still unsuccessful, and the girl Fuyuan, who has been appointed to be in charge of Ping'anhou's diet, is aggrieved and almost wants to jump into the river to prove her innocence.

The death of the Marquis of Peace is a matter of time. The girl standing on the bow of the boat blowing the night breeze thought to myself, and if he died, the fat man would be open to what he had done, and he would save his life.

It's just that Ping'an Hou died, Yangzhou Governor He Kui committed suicide in fear of crime, and Yan Ye was also stubbornly resisted and sentenced in the encirclement and suppression of Taixuan, and the three key witnesses were gone, so there was no one to testify to the involvement of the second prince in this matter.

It's a pity......

Thinking about this, I feel a little puzzled: the game between the fat man and the second prince, every time it comes to a critical juncture, someone leaks the news, or erases all the key person certificates, so that the second prince repeatedly returns with his whole body.

Obviously, there is a mole next to the fat man.

It's just that who is this mole?

I was thinking about it, but I didn't realize that there was an inky figure standing quietly behind me, so quiet that it almost melted into the night, and a pair of watery eyes reflected the clear light of the moon and the starlight......

"Yue'er ......"
