"Help me kill someone?" Lu Qingchen asked with a smile.

Zhao Que suddenly laughed: "Killing people is too simple for me, how many kills?"

Lu Qingchen's hand on the table stretched out a finger.

"Kill whom?" Zhao Que asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Ma River. Lu Qingchen seemed to see through him and said lightly.

Zhao Que pursed his lips and smiled: "I was just going to kill him." ”

Ma Hechuan is now in the Ministry of Zuo Langzhong, is the five-rank court official, and there is a natural difference between the local officials, in the officialdom of the Great Xia Dynasty, in the imperial court, compared with the local officials, even if the official rank is the same, he is superior to others, and Ma Hechuan is a celebrity in the Ministry of Officials, in the hot position of Zuo Langzhong.

When he went to Nanyangzhou, even if he was a feudal official such as the state pastor and the state assassin, he had to serve and listen to the dispatch, which was equivalent to the minister of the Qin Mission. Otherwise, as long as Ma Hechuan returns to Beijing and says a few bad words, they will have a headache and brain fever, so they should quickly let people take care of it, save the small things from dragging into big things, and an edict will come down, and the official hat will be lost.

"Why did you kill him?" Lu Qingchen was slightly surprised.

Ma Hechuan is low-key, he knows that he is in the ministry, and his every move is being monitored, so he is very careful in everything, and the court knows that Ma Hechuan is in the prime of life, and the official department is already old, he may be a popular candidate for the ministry secretary in the future.

After all, the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the appointment and dismissal, assessment, promotion, transfer, impeachment, etc. of officials across the country, and it is really a high position, but some people disagree, saying that it is the head of the six books of the Ministry of Rites, and all the officials in the world are scholars, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of important matters such as sacrifices.

This is also one of the reasons why Xie Zhiwei, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, died in the court, and there will be such a big turmoil, as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, it has attracted people's attention, and there is such a big incident, I heard that the Son of Heaven who shouted angrily that day "Xie Zhiwei, if you want to die, no one will stop you", also felt tricky afterwards, and could only kill batch after batch of people, hoping to suppress the aftermath of this matter in a slaughtering way.

"Ma Hechuan only needs to take three more steps carefully, and he can sit on the big seat of the secretary of the ministry, sir, I don't want to be left to the world like this. ”

Immediately, Zhao Que told Lu Qingchen the truth about Zhu Luo, and as for other things, he hid it.

Lu Qingchen personally poured tea for Zhao Que, and with one hand blocked Li Mujian's move to do it for him: "I want to kill him for personal reasons." ”

"In short, Ma Hechuan must be a dead man. Zhao Que said with certainty, and then asked, "Can the student ask, where did Mr. learn about the secret that Ma Hechuan is going to Nanyang to inspect Yangzhou?"

Lu Qingchen chuckled: "I have my own channels, but I'm very curious, I haven't seen you for seven years, you can achieve such a point, it is beyond my expectations." ”

Zhao Que turned the teacup: "If I don't become strong, I will die." ”

"Yes, life is helpless everywhere, and everything can't go well, right?"

"In addition to the news that Ma Hechuan went to Nanyang to inspect Yangzhou, what else does Mr. know?"

Lu Qingchen stood up, said a word, and went to the courtyard with me.

Zhao Que walked side by side with him.

"It was originally scheduled for October 4th, but I wonder if Ma Hechuan felt the danger of this trip, changed the date, delayed it, and has not yet been decided. Lu Qingchen said.

The lark spy report received by Zhao Que only mentioned that Ma Hechuan was going to Nanyang to inspect, which was one thing. However, as soon as Ma Hechuan got up from the capital, the lark would immediately fly pigeons and send a message. And in Lu Qingchen's words, people wonder, who is Lu Qingchen's correspondent in the capital, and why does he know it so clearly?

This Confucian scholar, who lives in the Chao Academy, is scolded by the old master of the academy, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After Zhao Que heard this, his footsteps stopped and looked at Lu Qingchen, who was becoming more and more mysterious.

He was old, half white, and the wrinkles on his face were very noticeable.

"What's wrong? General Auxiliary State, Zhao Gou Chen?" Lu Qingchen asked lightly.

Zhao Que smiled: "It turns out that Mr. knows everything." ”

"Naturally, what you made in Bluestone City, my ears are calloused. ”

"Mr. is a martial artist from the lower realm of Penglai?"

"How can it be so high as you say, if I were in Penglai Realm, the long-rumored Heavenly Stem and Earth Branch Two Lists on the rivers and lakes, I would have tried my best to add me to it, just imagine, the master of Juchao Academy, one of the one hundred and eight academies in Great Xia, has such a high martial arts realm, how eye-catching. ”

"The masters of so many academies are not without Confucian scholars with high realms. ”

"That's right, the power of people is deep and big, how can I twist my arms over my thighs in a small Juchao Academy? They don't want to be on the list of rivers and lakes, just say a word, the forces on the list, dare not give them face? I can't do it, I can only hide and hide, scolded by the master of the academy. ”

Zhao Que followed him and said with a smile: "But since Mr. took over the helm of Juchao Academy, the changes in the academy are visible to the naked eye. Those old masters, perhaps because of their own identity, are not good at praising Mr., but they always admit Mr. in their hearts and do a good job. ”

There was a pause.

"As far as I know, in addition to the two lists of the Heavenly Stems and the Earth, there is also a list of rivers and lakes that is more authoritative and mysterious, with the masters on the list above, as well as the great powerhouses of the three realms on the top of the mountain. ”

The three martial arts realms above the six realms of the world, some people in the rivers and lakes praised them as half-immortals in the world, saying that they are martial artists in the three realms of Tianji, Anming, and Penglai, and they have been able to reluctantly open mountains and rivers, which are the same as the half-immortals written by the novelist, and some people say that the so-called three realms, in the minds of cultivators, are only a big mountain and climb to the half-mountainside, which is far from enough to be called a half-immortal, and this part of the people call it the three realms of the half-mountain.

Whether it is the three realms of the half-immortal or the three realms of the half-mountain, there are three martial arts realms above, and the magic is that no one has any objection to the names of these three martial arts realms, all of which are called the three realms on the top of the mountain.

Lu Qingchen smiled and said: "You are now an auxiliary general, although your power is not heavy, your position is high, as long as you want to, it is not impossible to raise your arms and lead your troops and horses to the rivers and lakes, what do you care about?"

Zhao Que replied: "The rivers and lakes are still a little interesting. ”

"What? Want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to go through the rivers and lakes?"

"Since Mr. has mentioned it, this matter is over, and I will be like a tiger, going on a trip to the so-called rivers and lakes. Forget it about pretending to be a pig, how can you abuse yourself so badly. ”

"Haha...... You, when I was young, I traveled around to study, experienced a lot of rivers and lakes, it was not very interesting, there was nothing new under the sun, it was all old-fashioned book stories, you will be disappointed. Lu Qingchen waved his long sleeves, turned around and took Zhao Que and Li Muhibiscus back to the house.

As the tea cooled, he shook his head and casually spilled the old tea and replaced it with new one.

He said: "The list of rivers and lakes that you said is even more mysterious than the two lists of the heavenly and earthly branches is listed by the imperial court Qin Tianjian. ”

Zhao Que was mentally prepared and did not feel surprised.

It scared Li Muhibiscus, after she was rescued by Zhao Que, she was in the Xisai Campaign, the mysterious court institution like Qin Tianjian was limited to the conversation between Zhao Que and Pan Jitao and others.

Zhao Que agreed.

Seeing that there was still a box of tea leaves on the windowsill in Lu Qingchen's room, he went to lift the lid, sniffed it, and then came back with a smile and brewed it for himself.

Lu Qingchen was helpless, pointed at Zhao Que and laughed: "The tea is picked from the mountains, just a few tea trees, I take care of them carefully, I usually never entertain guests, I drink them myself." ”

"Mr.'s roasting tea is also a must, and the aroma is tangy. ”

Lu Qingchen smiled: "You sycophant, I accept it calmly." ”

Zhao Que sniffed his nose, this tea fragrance was very appetizing to him: "There are several mysterious Qi Refiners in Qin Tianjian?"

"Yes, I know the true identity of one of them?"

"Oh? ”

"Minami Aoki. ”

Zhao Que was surprised: "It is rumored that Nan Qingshu sat in a Taoist temple twenty years ago?"

"You've said it's a rumor. ”

Zhao Que seems to be digesting such a secret news, if it is said that the master of the three realms on the top of the mountain is treacherous and does not appear in the world, then he is sure that Nan Qingshu is the master of the three realms on the top of the mountain!

"Qin Tianjian was ordered to raise a 'dragon' for Great Xia, listening to a letter from an insider, the dragon of Great Xia has lost a few laps, if you have the heart, in a few years, you may be able to change the dynasty. Lu Qingchen said unhurriedly.

Zhao Que's face tightened.

Li Mujian's right hand was on the hilt of the knife.

Saying this from Lu Qingchen's mouth, especially in front of the general of the auxiliary state of the current dynasty, he simply had the intention of rebellion.

It's much more serious than killing the Nama River.

Zhao Que patted the back of Li Mujian's hand, signaling that she didn't have to be nervous.

The student listened to him. Zhao Que said.

Lu Qingchen narrowed his eyes: "Did you really listen to it?"

"Really. ”

Immediately, the two changed the topic and said some inconsequential things, mostly about the current situation of Juchao Academy, and the wonderful things he had with Qi Sheng when he was studying in the academy.

Until the sun goes down.

Lu Qingchen personally sent the two out of the academy.

Looking at the stone monument that stretched down the mountain, the owner of the courtyard, who could almost be called an old man, patted Zhao Que on the shoulder: "I have heard a little about your affairs on the front line of the Cisse, and you can get to this day, and you have done it perfectly." ”

Zhao Que thanked Mr. for the compliment.

Lu Qingchen sighed faintly, and said solemnly: "I can't do anything about your physical problems, find Shen Shisan, maybe you can be saved." ”

Shen Shisan is Shen Shen Divine Doctor.

Zhao Que looked ordinary, and was not the slightest surprised by Lu Qingchen's sudden words: "Life and death are fateful, students try their best to do it, my fate is up to me." ”

"Well, that's my missionary student. ”

"The student quits. ”

Zhao Que caught a glimpse of Kong Fenghan standing under a cypress tree, watching the two leave.

Lu Qingchen seemed to remember something, and suddenly spoke: "Qin Tianjian has collected all the masters in the rivers and lakes who can threaten the imperial court, and the martial artists and qi refiners in the three realms on the top of the mountain are also inexceptable. ”

Zhao Que, who had not walked a few steps, turned around and thanked him again.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Que sighed to Li Mujian: "Mr. has changed a lot. ”

Li Mujin scratched her head, she didn't understand where the change was, Lu Qingchen gave her the feeling that she was a Confucian scholar, and like a rebel thief with a bad heart, unfathomable, even Ma Hechuan to Nanyangzhou, she knew everything about it, this kind of means, the Juchao Academy, which was at the end of almost one hundred and eight academies, seemed to be a big Bodhisattva sitting in a small temple.

"In the past, when it came to learning, he quoted scriptures and classics, and in his conversations, he was full of sages and sages, but now he no longer talks about it, but his heart is like ashes, and he is extremely disappointed in the world. Zhao Que muttered to himself, "Xie Kui passed through Qingshi City, Mr. must have known, poor two brocade girls, after calculating so many people and things, Huang Que, who was dormant behind, was actually the master of the academy." ”

"What realm is Lu Qingchen in?" she asked.

Zhao Que thought for a moment and asserted: "If you don't say anything, it's also a safe life." ”

Bluestone City, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger.

"Could it be that Xie Zhiwei's death admonition stimulated him?"

Zhao Que walked towards Bluestone City in a leisurely manner: "Only Mr. himself knows." ”

"Then are we still doing Jinyi Niang a favor?" asked Li Mujian.

Since General Zhao's husband is also waiting for Xie Kui's arrival, it has become a question whether to help Jinyi Niang.

Zhao Que said as a matter of course: "Of course help, Mr. Mo Fei brought Xie Kui back, can he ensure Xie Kui's life?"

"Why, I don't feel like I'm a good person?"

"Alas, people's hearts are complicated, how can there be a clear distinction between good people and bad people?" he asked rhetorically.

"By the way, by the way, we haven't asked yet, why did Lu Qingchen kill Ma Hechuan!" Li Mujin tugged at the corner of Zhao Que's clothes.

Zhao Que groaned: "Why bother to reveal Mr.'s scar again." ”
