Chapter 843: Indecision (2)
"Master Hou, we're here!"
With the greeting of the dragon slayer, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Privy Council.
"Quick!"
Before the car stopped, Qin Wei had already flown out, jumped up the steps with an arrow, and walked towards the closed gate in a hurry.
However, before he could knock on the door, there was a sudden "creaking" sound of a carriage at the end of the street.
Qin Wei was suspicious, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a carriage coming under the escort of dozens of armor soldiers.
"This ......"
Looking at the familiar carriage, Qin Wei couldn't help but be stunned, and hesitated: "It seems to be ...... Lord Qian's car?"
With that, Qin Wei turned around and walked down the steps, heading towards the carriage with suspicious eyes.
"Is it Lord Qian, the privy deputy envoy in the car?"
As he got closer, Qin Wei questioned loudly, as if he couldn't believe what he had seen.
"Qin Wei, it's not dawning, why are you here?"
With an old inquiry, Master Qian slowly stepped out of the carriage with the support of Bai Jin.
"Is it really an adult?" Qin Wei was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground, "Xia Guan has seen an adult!"
"Get up and speak. ”
At this time, Lord Qian seemed to be very tired, his spirit was sluggish, his eyes were cloudy and lazy, his voice was weak, and his steps were staggering.
"My lord, you are ...... in the middle of the night."
"The emperor summoned him, and the official has just returned from the saint. Master Qian waved his hand disappreciatively, "You came here suddenly, could it be that you are in some emergency?"
"If the adults look at the fire, the villains admire!"
Qin Wei took over from Bai Jin and grabbed Lord Qian's arm, and while helping him walk towards the Privy Council, he told his intentions.
"Oh!"
Surprisingly, Lord Qian reacted mediocre to Qin Wei's worries, and instead of being surprised, he showed a calm appearance that he had predicted.
"This official has long said that there is no impermeable wall in the world. ”
"Adults are taught. Qin Wei said ashamedly, "It's imminent now, ask the adults to teach me how to deal with it." ”
Hearing this, Master Qian suddenly stopped, looked Qin Wei who was at a loss up and down with a pair of surging eyes, and asked with a smile: "Let me ask you, the position of 'Tianji Hou'...... Do you want to sit down any longer?"
"Of course I want to!" Qin Wei replied without thinking, "Why do you ask that?"
"If you want to keep your position, you have to learn to take advantage and avoid disadvantage. Master Qian smiled meaningfully, "When life and death are at stake, you can sacrifice everything by any means." ”
"This ......" Qin Wei's heart tightened, and he vaguely felt a hint of ominousness.
"What you just said is right, Qiu Han is a dying person, Ding Chou's milk stinks and has not dried up, and the two of them are not worth it. Master Qian continued, "But Liu Xunyi is different from them, your current position ...... It was originally his. ”
"My ......, my lord"
"Hugh said that he was a lie about sharing weal and woe. Master Qian interrupted Qin Wei's defense and asked secretly, "You obviously own a river, but now it has become a scoop of water, if it were you, would you be willing?"
"This ......"
"Your relationship with Liu Xunyi is similar to this metaphor. Master Qian smiled, "Although you strongly recommend him to be the deputy pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, the deputy pavilion master is ultimately subservient to others, not arbitrary. As everyone knows, Liu Xunyi should have been the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, not the arm of the Lord of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. ”
"Brother Liu won't bother with me about these ......"
"He may not, but what about you?" Lord Qian asked bluntly, "If you really have a deep brotherhood with him, and firmly believe that he will not compete with you for the throne of the 'Heavenly Machine Marquis', why do you send people to monitor him day and night, and even follow him every step of the way?" In the final analysis, you have no confidence in yourself and are wary of Liu Xunyi. ”
was exposed by Master Qian for his selfishness, Qin Wei suddenly felt ashamed, and his face was red for a while, and he was speechless.
"Actually, you don't have to be ashamed. Master Qian soothed, "Do you think that Liu Xunyi is sincere and unguarded to you?"
"What?" Qin Wei's eyes changed, and he was stunned, "How do you say this?"
"If he really believes you, why did he deliberately tell you the whereabouts of Qiu Han and Ding Chou, instead of directly bringing them back to Tianji Pavilion?" Lord Qian explained unhurriedly, "This trick is obviously a stone throwing to ask for directions, can't you see it? This official dares to bet with you, even if you rush to the City God Temple now, you will definitely not find Qiu Han and Ding Chou." On the contrary, whether you are loyal or treacherous, good or evil, will be accompanied by your attitude and reaction to this matter, and will be completely exposed to Liu Xunyi. ”
"This ......"
"As I expected, long before Liu Xunyi told you the news of Ding Chou and Qiu Han, he had already placed the two of them properly. Tell you, just to lure you in. If something happens to the temple, even if it's just an accidental fire, he will put all the blame on you. Lord Qian's words made Qin Wei deep in thought and unable to extricate himself, "Your good brother is so ill-intentioned, it is really ...... that you came here in the middle of the night to seek a way to save him It's ridiculous and pitiful. ”
"No......" Qin Wei shook his head in disbelief, "Why did he do this? If he wants to ask my Xingshi for guilt, he can have a showdown with me, so why bother to lure me into the bait?"
"You underestimate Liu Xunyi too much, a person who can lurk by Luo Tianjin's side for many years without leaking, how can it be as simple as you think? If he confronts you face to face, the result is nothing more than two things. One, you are well prepared, he is single-handed, and he dies. Second, you are not prepared, he is taken by surprise, and you die. Then he became a wanted criminal, was brought to justice by the government, and was sentenced to death. No matter which one it is, it will be a loss for Liu Xunyi, neither can he regain everything he lost, nor can he avenge Zhao Yuan's shame, and he can't even save his own life. How smart is Liu Xunyi, how could he choose a dead end?"
"But......" Qin Wei was in a mess and incoherent, "but he has no other way to choose......"
"Who said that?" Lord Qian sneered, "This official has long said that this person has the ability to turn over rivers and seas. On his own, he may not be able to set off any storms, but once he meets someone who is willing to help him...... It can turn the world upside down and turn things around. ”
"This ......" Qin Wei didn't seem to understand what Master Qian meant, so he humbly asked for advice, "I know his ability, but I don't know 'the person who is willing to help him'...... Who is it?"
"Tianji Pavilion is the Dongfu Martial Pavilion, and the person who can influence the overall situation of Tianji Pavilion is naturally the biggest backer of Dongfu. ”
"That's what the adults say...... Lord Jia?"
"More than anyone else, he hopes that the Lord of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will be loyal to the 'own people' of the Eastern Mansion, and not a 'spy' who should cooperate with the outside of the Western Mansion, isn't he?"
"Shhh
As soon as Lord Qian said this, Qin Wei's face suddenly turned pale as paper.
Of course, he understood the meaning of Lord Qian's words, and the "own person" in Lord Jia's mind was, of course, Liu Xunyi, who was loyal to Dongfu. As for the "spy", there is no doubt that he refers to himself.
Thinking about it carefully, Lord Jia really wants to depose Qin Wei more than anyone else, but Qin Wei is the "Marquis of Heavenly Machine" enshrined by the emperor, even if Lord Jia is dissatisfied, he is helpless.
However, helplessness does not mean sitting still. Once Master Jia finds the right person and seizes the right opportunity, he will definitely not hesitate to make a move against Qin Wei in order to consolidate his position in the Eastern Mansion.
Right now, isn't Liu Xunyi the most suitable person? Isn't it the most suitable time to expose the conspiracy between Qin Wei and Xifu?
Liu Xunyi may not be able to bear to kill Qin Wei, but Lord Jia is ruthless and will definitely not let the tiger return to the mountain.
This section made Qin Wei, who realized it later, more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"If Liu Xunyi ...... If I really join forces with Lord Jia, even if I have 10,000 lives, it will not be enough for them to kill. Qin Wei was worried and muttered to himself, "Thinking about it like this, the mysterious person who rescued Qiu Han and Ding Chou in the woods on the outskirts of the country was ...... Could it be that Lord Jia arranged it?"
"Definitely. Master Qian muttered, "First, Master Jia has just experienced the turmoil of dismissal, and Dongfu has just experienced a liquidation, so he will not dare to act rashly at this juncture, so as not to make matters worse." On the contrary, he must be behaving in a proper manner and keep a low profile in everything, so as not to be caught by others again. The two, if he saved Qiu Han and Ding Chou, then they would not be reduced to beggars in the City God Temple, with Master Jia's ability, it is easy to hide the two people. Three, if Master Jia had a plan, he would not let Liu Xunyi and Ding Chou meet under Chu Mao's nose, but would find an opportunity to make them reunite secretly, so that they could hide from people's eyes and ears, not arouse the notice of you and me, and it would be easier to get things done. ”
"That's fine......" Qin Wei let out a sigh of relief.
"Do you think that everything will be fine if Lord Jia and Liu Xunyi join forces?" Lord Qian reminded, "Lin'an City is just a place with a big palm, Liu Xunyi, Ding Chou, and Qiu Han are all here, although they are not colluded for the time being, but once Lord Jia smells a hint of wind, he will use the momentum of thunder to disrupt the situation and help ...... even forced Liu Xunyi to replace you. Now, you should know why Liu Xunyi only asks you for directions, instead of confronting you face-to-face, because he wants to oppose the customer and firmly hold the initiative in his own hands. As long as his evidence is conclusive, he can get rid of you with the help of Lord Jia, not only to save his own life, but also to regain everything he has lost. As for you, you will be completely reduced to a stepping stone for Liu Xunyi's ascension. ”
"This ......"
It was only at this moment that Qin Wei truly realized how dangerous his situation was, and his trembling eyes were full of urgency and fear.
"Adults save me!"
Qin Wei fell to his knees with a "poof", and begged in panic: "Everything I have today is hard-won, and I must not lose it, please save me!
Looking at Qin Wei, who was scattered, Lord Qian looked embarrassed, and hesitated: "You are the offspring cultivated by this official, and if you are implicated, I will be implicated, how can this official not save him when he dies? It's just that the method proposed by this official ...... You may not agree with it. ”
"My lord, it's okay to say it, and all the officials will obey!"
"As the saying goes, 'let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless'. Only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can we sit back and relax. Looking at Qin Wei, who was impatient, Lord Qian deliberately sold Guanzi, "If you and Liu Xunyi can only live one in the end, who do you want to die?"
"I ......" Lord Qian's questioning made Qin Wei tremble, his face was cold, he was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and his lips and teeth trembled slightly.
I don't know how long he was silent, but Qin Wei, who was full of entanglement, finally made up his mind, and wept silently, and the words were hideous: "What if...... It's really to the point where you're alive or dead, I'm ...... It must be the one who survived. ”
