"Brother Qin!"

When Qin Wei was earnestly instructed by Lord Jia and Zhao Yuan, and returned to his residence with a heavy heart, Liu Xunyi had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

As if broken by Liu Xunyi's voice, Qin Wei woke up suddenly, looking at Liu Xunyi who was walking towards him with dull eyes, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At this time, Liu Xunyi was carrying a jar of wine in his hand, the wine seal had been opened, and the rich aroma of wine overflowed the entire courtyard.

"Brother Liu, you are ......"

"Please drink!" Liu Xunyi smiled slightly, and at the same time raised the wine jar in his hand in front of Qin Wei and shook it a few times, jokingly, "One is to repay you for saving your life, and the other is to say goodbye to you." ”

"Farewell?" Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, instantly figured out the reason, and nodded plausibly, "Yes, you are about to leave Lin'an, you should say goodbye." ”

"After I leave, the people who are chasing me will also leave one after another. At that time, the chaos in Lin'an will be cured, and the Hou Ye and the prime minister will be able to explain in front of the emperor. Liu Xunyi said, "It can be regarded as my atonement." ”

"It is expected that those Jianghu grass cowards will not dare to act rashly against the Mongolian team. Qin Wei couldn't deny it, "In this way, you can also escape for the time being." ”

"Brother Qin, Brother Su has told me everything, it was you who ignored the Prime Minister's ban and the Hou Ye's obstruction, and ventured to Banjing Pavilion to beg him to come forward to save me......" Liu Xunyi's words changed, his expression became a little embarrassed, and his voice sounded a little unnatural, "If it weren't for your perseverance, my life would ...... I'm afraid it's long gone. Brother Qin, thank you!"

"Brothers, what do you talk about each other? besides, what about you and Princess Xinde...... It's my fault. Qin Wei's eyes turned red, and he choked up, "If I hadn't separated your feelings from it, Princess Xinde might not have agreed to kiss, and it would be ...... today."

"That's it!" Liu Xunyi didn't seem to want to mention the sad things again, and waved his hand quite freely, "There is no need to mention the past, everything is fate." As Hou Ye and Xiao Wang Ye said, even if you don't help it, there will be others who will get in the way. All in all, what the emperor and Prince Rong decided will never be shaken by Xin'er's wishes. In other words, Xin'er and I...... Destined to be today. ”

"Do you really think so?" Qin Wei's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "You really don't blame me anymore?"

Facing Qin Wei's nervous and expectant gaze, Liu Xunyi's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he finally nodded with a smile to show his sincerity.

Although Qin Wei was at fault, he acted on orders, and Liu Xunyi, as a minister, could naturally understand the difficulties.

What's more, Qin Wei sacrificed his life again and again to save him, and he stepped forward at the critical moment when Liu Xunyi was unpopular and everyone betrayed his relatives, which was especially commendable, which moved Liu Xunyi.

In addition, the two have been friends since childhood, how can the deep friendship be broken?

Qin Wei took the wine glass, and the two sat down in the courtyard. If there is nothing else to say, tonight to untie the knot, you must first drink three full cups.

"Brother Qin, is it because of my business that Hou Ye and Master Jia were looking for you just now?" Liu Xunyi picked up the wine jar and asked worriedly while pouring it for Qin Wei, "Is it because you are looking for Brother Su...... They're getting to know about it?"

Facing Liu Xunyi's concern, Qin Wei's expression froze, hesitated slightly, and then nodded with a wry smile.

"Hiss!" Liu Xunyi was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "What? Did they trouble you? It was the emperor's will to send me to the prison, and now that Brother Su came forward to save me, the emperor was bound to lose face, this matter ...... I don't think the emperor will give up. ”

"That's right!" Qin Wei didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "The emperor has ordered the Hou Ye to investigate this matter thoroughly. Lord Jia said that the emperor may not show his heart in the past two days, but when Princess Xinde and the Mongols leave, he will definitely settle accounts with us. And the emperor also said...... "Qin Wei wanted to speak and stopped, and his expression became more and more lonely."

In order to save himself and make Qin Wei get into trouble, Liu Xunyi was full of guilt, and asked impatiently: "What else does the emperor say?"

The emperor also said...... It's better to be in vain than to indulge. ”

"This ......"

Liu Xunyi knows very well the meaning of "rather than indulge", and being able to make the emperor say such a request shows how angry he is in his heart?

"Brother Qin, it's me who is the ...... you are doing" Liu Xunyi's heart was confused and hesitant, "It's better to ...... I'll go to Brother Su or Xin'er and ask them to intercede for you in front of the emperor?"

"No! The more we do this, the more angry the emperor becomes, how can the king of a country be willing to be restrained again and again?"

"But ......"

"Brother Liu, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to interfere. One person does the work and one person bears the responsibility, since I plan to save you, I am ready to meet all the consequences. Qin Wei's righteous words made Liu Xunyi a little overwhelmed.

"That'...... What do Lord Jia and Hou Ye say?" Liu Xunyi cautiously probed, "Have they thought of a way for you?" After all, if the emperor really finds out about you, Hou Ye and even the prime minister will be implicated......

"Liu Xunyi is worthy of Liu Xunyi, he is really smart, and he hit the nail on the head with one word. Qin Wei said with a smile, "They are looking for me tonight, it is indeed to help me shirk responsibility......" As for this, Qin Wei suddenly frowned, and hurriedly changed his words, "No! To be precise, they are to help the prime minister and Dongfu shirk their responsibility." As for me...... It's just an inconsequential pawn. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Brother Liu, you and I are brothers who depend on each other for life and death, there are some things I can hide from everyone in the world, but I can't hide it from you. Qin Wei's expression was furnished, so he lowered his voice a few points, and said, "Do you know, what did Master Jia tell me?"

Liu Xunyi seemed to be deeply infected by Qin Wei's emotions, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he slowly shook his head with a solemn expression.

"Lord Jia told me that once the emperor investigates this matter, I will never admit that I am the mastermind, but I will take all the blame...... It's all pushed to the head of the little prince......"

"What?" Before Qin Wei's words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly exclaimed, his eyes were round, full of horror, "Lord Jia actually taught you ......" seemed to realize that his reaction was too intense, Liu Xunyi's voice stopped abruptly, and he was silent for a moment, before he suppressed his voice and sighed in a low voice, "He actually taught you to drag the little prince into the water?"

"How?" Qin Wei stared at the flustered Liu Xunyi, and asked in a wordy manner, "Do you also notice that this matter is a little suspicious?"

"I ......" was asked by Qin Wei so treacherously, Liu Xunyi's answer that he wanted to blurt out stopped at the corner of his mouth, thought for a while, and suddenly changed his words and said tentatively, "Do you think this matter is suspicious?"

Facing Liu Xunyi's non-answering rhetorical question, Qin Wei laughed at himself and said: "Master Jia told me that as long as I put all the blame on the little prince, I will act on orders to bite myself to death, and I will be forced to be helpless, I will be able to get out of danger safely, at most...... Another board is a meal. Master Jia swore to me that the emperor knew that you had a close relationship with the little prince, so he would definitely believe that the mastermind of this matter was the little prince. In this way, not only can I get rid of the crime, but the prime minister and Dongfu can also get rid of suspicion. ”

"This ......"

At this moment, a terrible thought sprouted in Liu Xunyi's heart, but because of the identities of Master Jia and Zhao Yuan and Qin Wei's situation, he didn't know how to explain for a while.

"Brother Liu, do you think Master Jia's 'method of exonerating crimes' is feasible?" Qin Wei asked secretly, "If I put the blame on the little prince, can I get out of danger smoothly?"

"This ......" Liu Xunyi was timid and uneasy, "I can't say ......"

"Are you not sure?" or don't you dare to say it?" Qin Wei said bluntly, "You must have noticed something strange, but it was just because of everyone's face, right?"

Just this word made Liu Xunyi stunned, dumbfounded, and looked at Qin Wei with an inexplicable expression, unable to speak for a long time in surprise.

"If you don't say it, I'll say it. Qin Weiman didn't care, "The method that Lord Jia taught me will not only not save me, but will make the emperor firm in his determination to kill me." He...... Not to help me, but to push me to death!"

"Click!"

Worried by Qin Wei's words, Liu Xunyi's hand holding the wine glass subconsciously tightened his fingers, and with a crisp sound, the wine glass was crushed into pieces.

Qin Wei looked at the fragments between Liu Xunyi's fingers meaningfully, and said unhurriedly: "Lord Jia asked me to put the blame on the little prince, with only one purpose, to get the prime minister and Dongfu out of suspicion. In other words, they asked me to do this with the same intention that you flogged you after being imprisoned in a prison, to draw a line with us. Although I am not smart, I am not a fool, and if I put all the blame on the little prince, how can the emperor believe it? Even if he believes it in his heart, he will definitely not admit it with his mouth. Once this matter is publicized, the world does not know how many fictitious secret histories of the imperial family will be compiled? How many nonsensical and absurd infamy will the Zhao dynasty bear? How can the emperor allow such a scandal to be widely implicated and involved? Even if it happens, how can he admit it in public? Moreover, if I drag the little prince into the water, Prince Rong and Xifu will not let me go. At that time, I will not only have to be convicted of 'resisting the order to save people', but I will also have to bear one more capital crime of 'framing Zhongliang'. ”

"Brother Qin......"

"Lord Jia is ruthless and vicious, obviously wanting to put me to death and turn me into a pawn to fight back against Xifu, but just now he pretended to be a righteous and merciful appearance, and kept saying to help me and save me, it's really hypocritical and ridiculous!" Qin Wei laughed angrily, gritting his teeth with hatred, "I misunderstood them before, thinking that Dongfu was our solid backer, but in fact, they were not only unreliable, but they would flee from the battle, or even fall into the well." Luckily, they misjudged me, and I wasn't the young and ignorant child I used to be, nor was I a foolish reckless man. Their tricks have long since failed to deceive my eyes. They want to borrow a knife to kill people, and it is even more impossible for me to be willing to be the scapegoat of the prime minister and Dongfu!"

Qin Wei's words tonight made Liu Xunyi's heart chill and panic. He felt that Qin Wei in front of him was very unfamiliar, and he was like Qin Wei who was gagging and impulsive with him in the past.

Three years of separation is enough to change all the impressions one person has of another, even if it ...... That man had been a close friend who thought he knew everything.

"Brother Qin, are you ...... What are you going to do?"

"If they are unkind, they will blame me for being unjust!" Qin Wei's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said viciously, "I will not be at the mercy of them like a fool, I will use my own methods to resist and struggle, and survive in the cracks." ”

"What's the solution?"

Hearing this, Qin Wei's eyes changed suddenly, the ruthlessness on his face quickly converged, and he changed into a harmless and honest appearance, and said with a smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." I can only ...... Let's take it one step at a time!"

"Brother Qin, you ......"

"That's right!" Qin Wei changed his words and interrupted, "Brother Liu, you are going to see off your relatives, if you have a chance halfway...... Will you go away with the princess?"

"This ......" Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, so he felt sad and shook his head slowly, "No." ”

"That's it!" Qin Wei didn't dwell on it, and kindly reminded, "Whether you take the princess away or not, remember not to return to Lin'an." The emperor has a grudge against you, if you come back, it is difficult to guarantee that the court will not turn its face and be ruthless, and the time will ...... I'm afraid you're going to be more than lucky. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, if I can survive the catastrophe and turn into a butterfly, I will try to help you settle everything. Wouldn't it be nice for you and my brother to create a great cause together?" Qin Wei smiled wryly and said meaningfully, "I only hope that when the time comes, you can be as considerate as I am for you, and understand my involuntary body, my helplessness, my good intentions, and my ...... Dream!"
