Chapter 450: Connivance

Qin Zeng and the others were located in a higher position, he looked at the mountain in front of him and observed for a moment, and said, "This is two mountains away from the Great Pudu Temple."

He was obviously very familiar with the terrain around the capital, and even in the mountains, he could tell where he was from the trees and rivers.

The two of them ran through the night, and before they knew it, they ran so far.

But it is precisely because of this that the people who pursued them could not easily find their traces in the mountains.

But at the same time, the guards of the East Factory could not quickly join them.

"Shall we go back in the direction of the capital?"

Qin Zeng shook his head: "My body has not recovered yet, and the people who are chasing us may not stop immediately, so it is better to wait for Changze and them to appear before returning to the capital." Walking along this stream, you should come across a wooden house where Orion lives temporarily, or a dilapidated temple, so let's find a place to settle down and give me some time to recover."

Li Qingyi nodded, and the two continued to move forward.

Lei Shou walked very slowly, but the road in the mountains and forests was uneven, and they sat on their horses, inevitably swaying.

Li Qingyi was afraid that Qin Zeng would fall from his horse, so he subconsciously hugged him hard, and felt that this was too intimate and a little ashamed, so he found something to distract his attention, "Do you also think that the people who set up the hidden weapon and the bow and crossbow ambush are not in the same group?"

Qin Zeng obviously thought of this as well, and he let out a soft "um" and said, "If you and the county lord are stabbed by a hidden weapon, it will be quite difficult for me to break through while protecting you. If you want to escape, you will definitely have to pay more casualties and costs."

"The other party can be equipped with a nine-repeater crossbow, and his identity is definitely not ordinary."

Qin Zeng agreed with Li Qingyi's statement and nodded.

Li Qingyi saw that he had a good idea in his heart, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic, but said, "There are many people who want to kill you, but there are only a few people who want to kill me."

She has only been in the capital for about a year, and there are really not many people who have enmity with her, and even fewer can reach the point of life and death.

Especially at such a sensitive juncture when she and Qin Zeng were given marriage, the people who wanted to kill her were either Mu Guifei hated her bad things and wanted to kill her to vent her anger, and at the same time give Qin Zeng some color. Either Wei Lan'er, who felt that she obstructed her family affairs three times and twice, coupled with the anger of the broken leg, it was very likely that she would be murderous.

She asked Qin Zeng, "Do you think the person who did it to me was Mu Guifei or Wei Lan'er?"

"Mu Guifei is equal to the four princes."

Li Qingyi's heart sank when he heard this, and pondered his words, "What do you mean, if Mu Guifei's mother and son make a move, the people who will kill at the beginning are the two of us, then there will be no two groups of people to attack today." Therefore, it is possible that the secret weapon was arranged by Wei Lan'er, but where can Wei Lan'er get such a powerful secret weapon?"

"She can ask the Guo family for help."

"In other words, Wei Lan'er asked the Guo family to get a secret weapon, and used the little novice to deliver things to me, and even didn't care about my mother's life, and wanted to kill me. But someone else knew about her plan, and set up an ambush with the plan, and could he still detain this black cauldron on Wei Laner and even the Guo family when he turned around?"

Qin Zeng looked around vigilantly and replied, "The Guo family represents the household department, and the construction of the nine-story building requires a large amount of funding, and the household department has repeatedly admonished the emperor to give up this plan."

Whether the emperor really wants to build a nine-story building Let's not talk about it, the household department will definitely offend Mu Guifei if he does something like this.

"The Guo family doesn't give Mu Guifei face so much, isn't it the same as the Mu family? But the Guo family didn't seem to show closeness to the crown prince. Is it neutral or, like Wei Shicheng, loyal to unknown people?"

Qin Zeng shook his head: "I don't know yet, what we see may only be the appearance."

Li Qingyi paused, and then said, "Would the Guo family be so indulgent to Wei Lan'er? Killing me is tantamount to making a feud with you and our Li family, isn't the Guo family afraid of losing big because of small things?"

"Everyone in the Guo family has the surname Guo, but it may not be a heart."

Li Qingyi suddenly said, "It seems that there is a split within the Guo family...... So who is the person who is very close to Wei Lan'er, or rather, to the Guo family, and is willing to help her kill me?"

"Guo

The old man has two sons-in-law and a daughter-in-law, Guo Lingyi, the eldest master Guo Lingyi, and Guo Chongli, the second master Guo, who follows the literature, the son inherits his father's business, the father and son are in the same household, and they are close to their sister Guo's age, and they have the best relationship, and they almost respond to Guo's mother and daughter."

"So, the person who helped Guo's mother and daughter kill me may be Guo Chongli? Then, the person who ambushed you is planning to give this black cauldron to Guo Chongli's back, so that the father and son of the household department can learn some lessons."

"Quite possibly."

Li Qingyi sighed and said, "Being in a place like the capital, things really can't be thought of simply, and a small battle in the inner house can also connect the major events of the court. But Wei Lan'er, this girl, actually put such a heavy hand on me, and wanted to take my mother's life by the way, isn't it something that is not cleaned up?"

Qin Zeng heard that she was really angry this time, and said, "Let go and do it, if something happens, I'll take care of it for you."

Li Qingyi was stunned when he heard this, and then burst out laughing, "Why is your tone so similar to my second uncle?"

Qin Zeng said, "Your second uncle is like your father, even if you are ordinary......

"Then why do you indulge me so much?"

Li Qingyi didn't wait for Qin Zeng to finish speaking, and then interrupted him to ask.

Seeing that she was teasing herself again, Qin Zeng did not suppress his emotions as usual, but genuinely raised his lips and smiled, "You are my wife, I condone you, isn't it a matter of course?"

Hearing him say such a solemn thing, Li Qingyi couldn't get up, but the strength of his hand around him tightened, and he pressed his cheek against his back.

Qin Zeng covered the back of her hand with his hand, as if it was a response, a tacit understanding.

Li Qingyi's heart throbbed, and he let Lei Shou walk forward in silence.

The birds chirped in the dense forest, the blades of grass squirmed, and the two walked for nearly two pillars of incense, and finally saw a building in front of them.

"It looks like a temple up ahead."

Li Qingyi looked forward when he heard this, and said in surprise: "It seems to be a dilapidated and barren temple, but it is enough to shelter us from the wind and rain."

She jumped off the horse and carefully helped Qin Zeng down.

Qin Zeng looked at him amusedly, "I'm not that fragile."

Li Qingyi shook his head: "In this barren mountain and wild mountains, there is no way to heal well, it is better not to toss it, or not to toss."

The temple in front of you is very small, even the firewood room in the corner of the big Pudu Temple can not be compared, enter the door, there is only a front hall and a back hall, not only collapse in many places, because the mountain is cool and damp, the wooden doors and windows are full of rotten musty smell, all around are overgrown with weeds, and the roof is no exception.

Fortunately, there were people lying on the low bed in the wing room next to the hall, Li Qingyi took the strip of cloth that he was reluctant to discard and did a simple cleaning, and hurriedly helped Qin Zeng to sit down.
