Chapter 581: Sacrificing Life for Righteousness
After returning from the Chengdong Mansion, Liu Xunyi locked himself in his room and did not show up for the whole afternoon.
The black fan is closed, the deputy fan is nowhere to be found, and the dragons in the lower three doors are leaderless, and the chaos is like a plate of loose sand.
Xu Heng, Ling Qing, and Luo Ningyu each had one idea, arguing with each other, but they couldn't come up with a safe way.
Without Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku presiding over the overall situation, no one dared to call the shots on their own, and everything was in chaos.
However, they knew that Liu Xunyi was physically and mentally exhausted, so they didn't dare to come to the door to disturb, so they could only gather in the courtyard or talk to each other, or pace back and forth, or beat their chests and feet, or sigh in annoyance.
One by one, they are like ants on a hot pot, anxious and round, but helpless.
Until the sky was dark, everyone still could not dispel the doubts in their hearts, but became more and more melancholy.
"We want Qin Ming to stop, but we can't damage the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion......," Ling Qing said bitterly, "This time...... The lord of the mansion fanned the black executive a big problem. ”
"In any case, you must not let the search for clothes fail. Luo Ningyu's tone was unquestionable.
"Having said that, but if the Mansion Master has made a promise, how can we change it at will?" Ling Qing said bitterly, "Unless...... We're tired of ......."
"There are still four days to go, and there will definitely be a turnaround. Liao Chuan was relieved, "I believe that the black fan will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and successfully overcome the difficulties." ”
Liao Chuan's words made everyone fall silent again.
These words, if they had been said three days ago, might have boosted morale. But today, even they don't believe it.
"It's better to ......," Xu Heng, who had been silent for a long time, proposed, "Let's go find Miss Xunqin?" she is very clever and will definitely be able to come up with a proper solution for us. ”
"This ......"
"No!" Without waiting for others to answer, Luo Ningyu categorically refused, "Solve your own affairs by yourself, why bother asking an outsider?"
"But ......"
"No need!" Luo Ningyu didn't give Xu Heng any chance to argue, and said solemnly, "If I say no, I can't do it!
Luo Ningyu is called the master of the Shocking Gate, but in fact she is still the eldest lady of the Xianwang Mansion. Once the eldest lady moves out of the posture of the eldest lady, Mo said that Xu Heng and Ling Qing dare not contradict each other, even Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku have to be polite and give three points.
"Where did Qin Ku go?" Seeing everyone looking at each other, Luo Ningyu knew that his attitude was too arrogant, so he changed his words and asked curiously, "Why didn't you see him all afternoon?"
Facing Luo Ningyu's questioning, everyone was at a loss, as if no one knew Qin Ku's whereabouts.
"It's a good Qin Ku, and when it comes to the critical moment, he retreats from the battle, he is really a gutless rat, and he can't be reused......"
"Ahem!"
In Luo Ningyu's indignant complaints, a slightly embarrassing cough sounded from outside the hospital. Immediately afterwards, Qin Ku, who was holding a jar of fine wine, walked to the front in a leisurely manner.
As soon as they saw Qin Ku, Xu Heng and the others hurriedly bowed their hands, and at the same time squeezed their eyebrows at Luo Ningyu, signaling her to stop talking.
However, Luo Ningyu did not shy away from it, rushed to Qin Ku with an arrow step, and asked with a slashed face, "Where have you been?"
"Is Lord Luomen really interested in knowing?" Qin Ku asked with a wicked smile.
"Can't I know?"
"Of course I can!" Qin replied bitterly, "Mingling Yayuan reopened in the afternoon, and I haven't hugged left and right for several days, so my heart is tickling......"
"That's enough!" Seeing that Qin Ku was so unashamed, Luo Ningyu's cheeks turned red and said angrily, "So far, you actually went shopping...... Hmph!"
The word "Qinglou", Luo Ning really couldn't say it, so he could only vent his dissatisfaction with an angry snort.
"Since everyone can't think of a good way, instead of getting together and making sad faces, it's better to have a good time, at least ...... Relax physically and mentally. ”
"Phew, shameless!" Luo Ningyu suddenly turned around, no longer paying attention to Qin Ku, who was oily and smooth.
"The black fan locked himself in his room for a whole afternoon, and we racked our brains, but there was still nothing we could do. The deputy fanned you ......"
"I knew that the black fan was in a bad mood, so I bought a jar of good wine to drink with him. ”
Qin Ku interrupted Ling Qing's words and walked towards Liu Xunyi's room as if he were strolling leisurely.
"Deputy Fan, you ......"
"It's all gone!"
Qin Ku waved his hand without looking back, and then didn't even say hello, and pushed the door in.
In the courtyard, the people who were at a loss didn't leave, nor did they stay, which was very embarrassing.
"Be generous and unforgettable. How can we solve our worries? Only Du Kang. ”
In the room, Qin Ku carried the wine jar and shook it in front of Liu Xunyi's eyes, and jokingly said: "Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you." ”
With that, Qin Ku poured the wine into two sea bowls. Suddenly, the aroma of the wine overflowed, which was refreshing, and at the same time, the wine worm in the belly was also hoisted high.
"It's still Brother Qin who knows my mind. ”
Liu Xunyi smiled knowingly, picked up the sea bowl and drank it all, and suddenly felt that his throat was clear and refreshing.
"Good wine!"
"Hey, hey!" Qin Ku looked at the empty wine bowl with a distressed face, and complained, "Drink it slowly, this wine is not cheap." If you drink like this, won't you be blind to fine wine?"
Although he kept complaining, Qin Ku still filled another bowl for Liu Xunyi, and at the same time asked casually, "Have you seen Qin Ming?"
"See. Liu Xunyi picked up the wine bowl and drank half of it, "It's a pity that it's an old fox, and he doesn't give me any room for bargaining at all." ”
"Guessed. Qin Ku smiled helplessly and said curiously, "There are still four days left, what are you going to do?"
"No way. Liu Xunyi picked up the wine bowl, touched it lightly with Qin Ku, and said with a smile, "Since you can't discuss it, you can only go sideways." ”
"What do you mean......"
"Find an opportunity to sneak into the mansion in the east of the city and ...... Qin Ming" Liu Xunyi's voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time gently wiped his hand on his neck, the meaning was self-evident.
"Are you crazy?" Qin Ku subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then hurriedly lowered his voice and said in astonishment, "You want to assassinate Qin Ming?"
"There's nothing else you can do. ”
"Whether you are his opponent or not, if he dies at your hands, rumors will spread in the rivers and lakes. At that time, not only your future will be ruined, but even the lord of the mansion will be implicated. ”
"I know. Liu Xunyi said indifferently, "But for today's plan, only by getting rid of Qin Ming can we solve the problem of the mansion master." Moreover, Qin Ming was killed by me, and it has nothing to do with the mansion master......"
"What do you mean?" Qin Ku glared at him thoughtfully, "You are willing to be the scapegoat of the mansion master?"
"This matter, it is inconvenient for the mansion owner to take action directly, so he will ask us to solve it for him. Liu Xunyi laughed at himself, "In fact, from the beginning, this is what the mansion master meant. Remember what the lord of the house said to us? He said, 'If necessary, he will not hesitate to break his arm to heal'. What is 'broken arm healing', this is the case at the moment. Before, I was unwilling to seek the best of both worlds. But it turns out that you can't have it both ways, and it's just wishful thinking on my part. ”
"If you kill Qin Ming, the lord of the mansion will take care of the overall situation, even if he doesn't kill you to calm the anger of the people, he will expel you from the Xianwang Mansion and leave you to fend for yourself. Qin said worriedly, "Once you lose the blessing of the Xianwang Mansion, you will definitely be hunted down by the enemies of the rivers and lakes." Then you will be notorious, and everyone will shout and beat you like a rat crossing the street, and you will never see the light of day. It's unfair to break your arm to heal your wounds, to heal his wounds!"
"It's better to be infamous than to die. ”
"Looking for clothes, the lord of the mansion has always valued you, so he shouldn't kill you......"
"If it's a private threat, maybe I still have a chance to live. Liu Xunyi said bitterly, "But if the lord of the mansion admonishes me righteously in front of the public, it must not be a joke." Otherwise, how can the Lord of the Martial Arts Alliance have face?"
"This ......"
"Brother Qin!" Liu Xunyi drank the wine, stretched out his hand on Qin Ku's shoulder, and chuckled, "If I don't go back, you can take good care of the next three doors for me." ”
"Actually......" Seeing Liu Xunyi's relaxed face, Qin Ku's heart was really not good, and he hesitated, "Actually, there is another way to keep both you and the mansion master safe......"
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Xunyi's face gradually solidified, but he didn't open his mouth to ask.
"I'll go back with Qin Ming, or...... Hand over the 'Genshui Scroll'. Qin said reluctantly, "In this way, Qin Ming will achieve his goal, and naturally he will no longer stay in Luoyang City." ”
"Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Liu Xunyi said with a straight face, "If you go back with Qin Ming, it will be a dead end." Hand over the 'Xuanshui Scroll', once Qin Ming is allowed to practice the "Returning to the Sea Sword Method", he will also not let you go, and the result is still a dead end. ”
"This is because of me, and it is better for me to die than for you to die......"
"Confused!" Liu Xunyi interrupted righteously, "If I can successfully assassinate Qin Ming, it will be a big deal to die in the world, and there is still a glimmer of life." But you are different, Qin Ming regards you as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, if you don't die for a day, he won't give up for a day. I went to assassinate Qin Ming, not only to solve the trouble for the mansion master, but also to help you get rid of a hidden danger. ”
"Clothes ...... Hunt"
"Don't say it!" Liu Xunyi resolutely interrupted, "You and my brother, let's have a drink tonight." On the eve of dawn, I will go to Qin Ming to fight for life and death. ”
Facing Liu Xunyi's pride, Qin Ku's eyes hesitated, but he didn't say a word, just silently accompanied him to drink another bowl.
"Happy!"
Throwing down the wine bowl, Liu Xunyi slowly got up, stretched his limbs to his heart's content, and jokingly said: "Brother Qin, although your wine is good, but the portion is insufficient, wait for me to get the wine again......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt dizzy, his legs were weak, and an irresistible feeling of weakness made him confused and drowsy.
"Brother Qin, what kind of wine is this? It's only three bowls, and the stamina is so great......
However, in the face of Liu Xunyi's vague words and staggering, Qin Ku still sat at the table, not saying a word, motionless.
"This wine ......"
As he spoke, Liu Xunyi's feet stumbled and fell on the bed with a "bang".
Suddenly, the snoring sounded everywhere, and I was asleep.
Seeing this, Qin Ku took out a pill from his arms and put it in his mouth. After closing his eyes and concentrating for a moment, his drowsy head gradually became sober, and his wandering eyes became shining, and murderous opportunities emerged.
"Looking for clothes, I have been living a hard life since I was a child, and I have been living a life of exile and no fixed place for more than ten years, living by the pit and abduction, living a day is a day, and even living is not as good as a dog. Qin Ku walked to the side of the bed, took off his boots and covered the quilt for Liu Xunyi, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, muttering to himself, "Before I met you, I only lived for two things, revenge and making money. After getting to know you, I gradually tasted the taste of friendship between friends. I only have one friend of yours, if you die, who will I go to for a drink? Who to talk to? Who to talk to about money and women? Besides, Qin Ming and I have a grudge against my father, so it is reasonable for me to kill him, and it is not your turn to interfere. I admit that I am still not ready for revenge, so I have not dared to bear this matter in front of you and the lord of the mansion, and even cowered a little...... Fortunately, you have a lot of adults, and you don't care about me, but shoulder the pressure that should belong to me. This time, I'll give you back the favor!"
After that, Qin Ku blew out the candlestick, picked up the long empty knife, opened the door, looked back at the sleeping Liu Xunyi again, and then walked towards the courtyard without looking back.
