At the critical moment, Hechul actually gave up his cousin's life just to protect himself, which made everyone sigh. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qing Ming looked at his blood-spattered shirt and the cunning eyes that were glad to have escaped death, and his mind began to think quickly and weigh the pros and cons.
If Hechuer is severely punished, firstly, the empirical evidence is insufficient, he has already found a scapegoat for himself with Herringer's death, and secondly, to punish Hercule, which will completely expose the clues that Qingming already knows, which will inevitably startle the snake.
After thinking about it, the best plan at the moment is to go down the steps built by Hechuer with blood, keep the life of this spy, and maybe there will be unexpected effects in the future, anyway, in addition to Yun Li, there are not a few spies around, and there are not many more than him, just be careful.
But after thinking about it, if he is released, this guy will report to his owner as soon as he goes back, and his clues still can't be saved, so he must not speak!
Yang Yong rushed up and grabbed Heqiu'er, lest he make more outrageous actions and jeopardize Qingming's safety.
Hechul was calm and unrelenting.
After being silent for a long time, Qing Ming stomped his feet, pointed to the corpse of Herin'er on the ground, and said loudly: "You thief! I see you silent on weekdays, but I didn't expect that it was such a treacherous and forgetful of profit, and now, your brother has personally punished you bastard, and you really deserve it!"
Qing Ji, Long Xing and others were stunned when they heard this, looking at Qing Ming, they didn't know what he was going to do, especially Long Xing, he knew that Heqiu Er must not be a good person, and was about to persuade him, Qing Ming waved his hand at everyone, signaling everyone not to talk much.
He turned to Hechuer and said, "Heqiuer, your cousin has gone astray, and now that he has rectified the Fa, you must never follow in his footsteps, in the future, you must be cautious and cautious, if there is any violation, I will not spare it!"
When Heqiuer heard this, he knew that Qing Ming had forgiven him, so he immediately broke free from Yang Yong's shackles, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Long live King Ming!
Qing Ming said with a smile: "Convergence is a must, serve me, I don't see it!
Hechuer kowtowed again, and cried: "Your Majesty King Ming! Since the little one entered the Qingzhen Palace, he has been living for you! If he doesn't serve you, the little one can't do anything else, please be kind to King Ming!"
General Watari shouted: "Bold traitor! Your cousin is a great rebel who betrayed the Bronze King, as your cousin, how can King Ming use you? Such a simple truth, still making noise here!"
Hechul wiped away her tears pitifully, unable to answer.
Qing Ming pulled Qing Zhao aside, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zhao, you study medicine, is there any medicine that will not harm his life, but can make him exhausted and bedridden for a period of time?"
Qing Zhao smiled slightly, nodded, and immediately understood, and immediately turned around and went to the second basement floor to dispense medicine.
Qing Ming returned to the chair and sat down, motioned for Yang Yong to hold Heqiu'er, and asked calmly: "In this way, I spare your life, but I don't know if you are really grateful, have you heard any news from Helin'er? For example, who is the one who instructed him to lurk around me? Who is the person who received his news? Who is the mastermind behind the attack on me?"
Hechuer didn't think much about it, his head shook like a rattle, and he said tremblingly: "The little one really doesn't know! It's all done by Herin'er! The little one doesn't know at all! King Ming! The little one is loyal, and the sky can see it!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Qing Ming's eyes, and he felt a chill, after a fight, he knew that Hechuer was ruthless and stubborn, and he really didn't know what kind of means the mastermind behind the scenes used to make this spy so desperate for him, and would rather sacrifice his cousin's life than reveal any words related to the mastermind behind the scenes.
Hechul didn't know that he had just lost his last chance by resisting stubbornly.
Not long after, Qing Zhao returned to the third basement floor, holding a glass of water in his hand, he exchanged a look with Qing Ming, Qing Ming took the water glass, walked to Heqiuer, his expression was majestic and sincere, and said: "Heqiuer, since I woke up, thanks to your care, meticulous, in my heart, I have always thanked you!"
Heqiu'er looked frightened and looked at Qing Ming suspiciously.
I only heard him continue: "Today's incident, I know that you are innocent! Since Herlin'er has already surrendered to the law, I will not pursue you again! However, you also know that Herlin'er is just a small attendant, what ability can he have to send someone to attack me! Therefore, I want to find out who is behind the scenes, and I need your help!"
When Hechuer heard this, he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "The mastermind behind the scenes, of course! Of course! King Ming, you say, what you want me to do, I will definitely do it!"
Qing Ming nodded and said, "Okay! Since you said that you are loyal to me, then I will test you, I will give you this glass of water, do you dare to drink it? If you are willing to follow King Ming, then you will drink it all! Don't worry, this thing will not hurt your life! When the matter is over, if you behave well, you will naturally be released!"
Heqiu'er just because of the suddenness of the incident, according to his understanding of Qingming's knowledgeable personality on weekdays, he thought that Qingming's soul had been thrown into a foreign land for eighteen years, and he didn't quite understand the human feelings in Xuantian Dao.
Now, hearing Qing Ming's request, he realized that after this period of experience, Qing Ming was far from the level he originally understood, and his performance did not make the king of Ming, who had just woken up, believe that it seemed that the death penalty had escaped for the time being, and the living crime was inevitable!
Hechuer said in his heart, whatever! It is better than being directly executed, and I hope that once the limelight passes, this life can be saved. With this in mind, he took the cup and drank it up.
He raised his voice and said, "King Ming, you see, the little one is really willing to go to the soup for you......" Before the words fell, he blinked his eyes and fell asleep deeply.
Long Xing and the others were all shocked, Qing Zhao saw that Heqiu'er had already fallen asleep, and said loudly: "Add some sleeping ingredients to the medicine, and you will wake up after a while, but this glass of water, the real effect, will make him tired, and it will be very difficult to even move his fingers! The effect of the medicine is enough to affect him for about ten days, I also have some dry medicinal materials prepared here, you can take them back, and every ninth day, boil another pair and pour it on him, until Brother Wang decides to let him wake up." ”
General Wataru quickly took the medicine bag from Qingzhao's hand.
Qing Ming arched his hand to Qing Zhao and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry! I stained your place! I also trouble you to dispense medicine!"
Qingzhao replied: "Why should Brother Wang say this, the younger brother is just doing his best!"
Qing Ji was only free at this time, came to Qing Ming's side, and said with a heavy face: "Ah Ming, someone really wants to take your life? Hmph! If I know who it is, so bold to attack my little nephew, I will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces! Oh! By the way, last time I was responsible for preparing the materials for your soul alchemy, and they also poisoned the charcoal through small thorns! New accounts and old accounts, I will settle them together when the time comes!"
Qing Ming said calmly and gratefully: "Uncle, don't be angry! The enemy is in the dark, don't act rashly! I invite you to come this time, one is because before I ascended the throne, I often went out with my uncle, and invited you to go out hunting together, which can make the enemy relax their vigilance, and second, my uncle's martial arts are strong, and I can also rely on my uncle's martial arts, and my safety is more guaranteed!"
Actually, the reason for the front is true, the back one is purely a compliment, after such a long period of contact, Qing Ming has established trust in this Uncle Qingji from the heart, he is simple, sincere, and I don't know how, whenever he is with him, Qing Ming is in a better mood, and his body strength is more abundant, perhaps, this is the power of family affection!
Qing Ji obviously believed in the latter reason even more, he held his head high, stood behind Qing Ming, and said triumphantly: "Ah Ming, don't worry, uncle will definitely protect you!"
The group returned to the palace with the unconscious Hechuer, and Herin'er's body was secretly disposed of by Qingzhao.
In accordance with Qingming's explanation, General Watani announced to the public: "When he went out hunting, Heringer suddenly suffered misfortune, because the soles of his feet slipped, he accidentally fell from the cliff, hit his head against a stone, and died on the spot! When his cousin had an accident, Hechuer reached out to rescue him and was taken out of the cliff, but fortunately fell into the bushes, but he was seriously injured and unconscious! In view of the fact that Hechuer usually takes care of King Ming, he is meticulous, and King Ming is grateful for his kindness, and will settle Hechuer in the palace and recuperate alone!"
The so-called solitary retreat, of course, took the opportunity to put this spy under house arrest. In order to ensure the effect of confusing the crowd, Qing Ming asked General Du Sheng to whip Hechuer vigorously with a tree branch, making the illusion of falling off a cliff.
There was quite a stir in the palace, and everyone was surprised by the accident of the Hechul brothers.
Yun Li usually in order to get close to Qing Ming, she has a lot of contact with the He family brothers who are King Ming's personal attendants, and she is quite familiar with it in private, so she also rushed over to check the situation as soon as possible.
At night, leaving only General Watari to accompany him, Qing Ming couldn't suppress the loneliness in his heart, he originally thought that the two Hechuer brothers could be used for themselves, but he didn't expect this to be the result, and he couldn't help but sigh.
General Wataru Sheng said in a low voice: "King Ming doesn't have to be sad, in the royal family, it is inevitable to fight for power and profit! However, according to his subordinates, nowadays, there are not many people available around King Ming, and the most intimate people are naturally your parents, but now, the prince has been transferred out of the royal city due to changes in the border pass, and the situation is really unfavorable to you!"
Qing Ming didn't answer, called in a guard, and asked, "Has Princess Yun Li ever slept?"
The guard arched his hand and said: "King Ming, rest assured, the maid sent to monitor just now came to report that the princess is already asleep!"
Qing Ming nodded with satisfaction and let the guards retreat, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief and said to Du Sheng: "Why don't I visit Uncle Qingyuan tomorrow and ask him to introduce a few of his right-hand men to my use?"
General Wataru arched his hand and said: "King Ming, everyone is suspicious of Dusheng. However, the dispute between the royal family has always been chaotic and changeable, and peace between father and son cannot be guaranteed! According to your subordinates, although King Qingyuan is your uncle, after all, he is not as close as his biological father! King Ming must find a way to invite King Qingzhen back to the city as soon as possible!"
Qing Ming nodded and said: "What the general said is very true! But guarding the Yanqing Mine is an edict of the previous Bronze King, and the border pass is undecided, and the father must not have a reason to come back!"
General Watayu fell into deep thought.
Qing Ming interrupted his train of thought and said, "However, Long Xing has brought back a piece of news from the Flame Country, although it has not been confirmed, you might as well say it and ask the general to refer to it together!"
When Dusheng heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed to Qing Ming: "King Ming trusts him so much!
Qing Ming helped him up and said, "The general doesn't have to be polite, if it weren't for your great help, I'm afraid that Qing Ming's soul would still be in the world to waste his time!"
When he stood up, Qing Ming lowered his voice, put his mouth to his ear, and said: "There is a Huo Xiujun in the Flame Country, who claims to be a full-time salesman for intelligence, and Long Xing exchanged it for gold. The purpose is to involve the forces of my great vassal country, and in my opinion, this move is actually intended to transfer my father from the royal city!"
When General Watari heard this, he was taken aback, and replied in a low voice: "Huo Xiujun, if this is really the person, I'm afraid the news is true! This guy is famous in the rivers and lakes, he is the illegitimate son of the King of Deep Oxygen of the Angry Country, and he has no right to inherit the throne, but the King of Deep Oxygen is quite fond of him because he is ashamed of him. All the post stations in the country of Anger are under his management, so he has a wide range of sources, and he is indeed a well-known intelligence merchant in the rivers and lakes!"
After a little contemplation, General Dusheng bowed and said: "King Ming, my subordinates suggest, you might as well believe him once! Please King Ming immediately send someone to the Qixia military camp to inform King Qingzhen of the news, and ask the prince to decide!"
