Liu Xunyi told Su He his secret, in addition to admiring Su He's personality and thanking him for taking care of him, in fact, he also had a mind that even he didn't want to admit, which was to take this opportunity to completely cut off his emotional entanglement with Zhao Xin.

In the depths of Liu Xunyi's heart, an incredible thought has indeed irresistibly poured out, that is, to give up the bitter entanglement with Zhao Xin, and from now on, there will be no intersection.

This is the last trace of reason buried in the depths of Liu Xunyi's heart, whether it is Qin Wei and Zhao Yu's hard persuasion, or Zhao Yuan and Su He's earnest teachings, Liu Xunyi sneered on the surface, but in fact, his heart is like a mirror, and he has already pondered the pros and cons of this matter countless times, the priorities, right and wrong, and even more insightful, clear in his chest.

Zhao Yu once said a word that was not good to hear, but it was a very thorough truth, "Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin were cut in two, although such an ending is cruel, but at least it is a good thing for most people." ”

Liu Xunyi also knew in his heart that under the general trend of Song Menghe, the chances of saving the situation by himself were very small.

Hugh listened to what he said lightly, but in fact, even if he was asked to assassinate the Mongolian envoy and destroy the peace between the two countries, Zhao Xin would not be able to marry him, and it would be impossible for the two to go away. At that time, the emperor, the imperial court, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty will be angry with them, and there will be no place in the world, and Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin will end up dead without a place to be buried.

However, reason is reason, even if Liu Xunyi thinks about everything again, it is still impossible for him to take the initiative to give up Zhao Xin.

Therefore, Liu Xunyi was willing to die in front of Murong Bai and spoke outright in front of Su He, all of which were aimed at forcing himself to break off his relationship with Zhao Xin. If he died, if he could not find the opportunity to assassinate the Mongol envoy, he would naturally not be able to destroy the Songmeng and Qin, thus indirectly achieving the outcome that "most people" wanted to see.

In a helpless way, he passively forced himself to give up Zhao Xin.

This is Liu Xunyi's greatest efforts and self-sacrifice for the "righteousness of the family and country".

Having said that, once Liu Xunyi finds an opportunity, he will definitely rekindle his old relationship with Zhao Xin desperately. In this section, Liu Xunyi also knows it. Therefore, the only thing he can do is try not to allow himself to find such an opportunity.

Human feelings are the most complicated thing in the world, and he is the one who sinks into the sea of love and is desperate. He is also the one who is ruthless and cuts off the love thread. On the one hand, he overcame all obstacles and dangers to meet Zhao Xin, but on the other hand, he was digging his own grave, cutting off his own back road, desperately blocking all possibilities between himself and Zhao Xin......

In the end, how much pain he swallowed and how much pain he endured? Only Liu Xunyi knew best in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed like a white horse.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, in the evening.

Qin Wei accepted Zhao Yuan's order and came to the study of Tianji Pavilion alone.

"How's Clothes Going?"

Facing Zhao Yuan's straightforward inquiry, Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, Brother Liu has been recuperating in Tianji Pavilion recently, and everything is as usual. ”

"As usual?" Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed with suspicion, "This is not like his temperament." ”

"Yes!" Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "Brother Liu's attitude towards me these days is very cold, it seems that ...... He had already sensed the clues. ”

"You've cleared your suspicions, why is he like this?"

"I'm weird too. Qin Wei pondered, "Brother Liu's indifference to me is not obvious, but ...... A feeling of indescribability and incomprehension. But my instinct told me that Brother Liu no longer trusted me. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that he already knows about you asking for a secret letter from the little prince?"

"Brother Liu did go to the little prince, but the little prince understood that the matter was big and should be ...... I won't tell him it is. ”

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said: "The little prince is still shallow, and it is almost impossible for him to hide from the sky and the sea in front of Liu Xunyi without revealing a flaw." ”

"What does Hou Ye mean...... Brother Liu already knows that the little prince is secretly communicating with me?"

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Yuan sighed, "but at least he has become suspicious of you, even to the little prince...... Nor trusted. ”

"Why?"

Faced with Qin Wei's confusion, Zhao Yuan did not explain, but changed his words and asked for no reason: "Have you ever heard of a person named 'Su He'?"

"Su He?" Qin Wei thought for a moment, suddenly his eyes changed, and he hurriedly said, "I remember, Su He is one of the Mongolian relatives team, and it is said that this person has some friendship with Brother Liu. ”

"Three days ago, Liu Xunyi encountered some trouble on the outskirts of the city, and it was Su He's help that escaped. ”

"It does. Qin Wei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly complimented, "I didn't expect that Master Hou even knew such a trivial matter." ”

"Benhou sent you to spy on Liu Xunyi, why didn't you report back to me about this matter?" Zhao Yuan asked, "Do you think this is an inconsequential trivial matter?"

"The subordinates don't dare!" Qin Weicheng was terrified, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to make amends, "It's just that I don't know anything about Su He's origins, and I wanted to wait until I found out before reporting to the Hou Ye......"

"Then how did you investigate?" Zhao Yuan interrupted, "Who is Su He, and what position does he hold in Mongolia?"

"Back to the Marquis, Su He is a person from Chifengling, has no official and no position, and can be regarded as a martial arts man who serves the imperial court. Qin Wei replied cautiously, "This person is known as the 'No. 1 Fast Knife in Mobei', and he is quite famous in Saibei. Legend has it that his ancestors were Temujin's close servants and even Su He's blade Blood Shadow Knife was given to their family by Temujin. ”

"So, this person is a martial arts master?"

"The leader of the Dragon Elephant List, how can he be famous?" Qin Wei guessed, "Su He's martial arts...... Or above Brother Liu. ”

"Dragon Elephant List?" The anger on Zhao Yuan's face gradually subsided, and he looked at Qin Wei who was confident with deep meaning, and said with a smile, "You even know the 'Dragon Elephant List', it seems that you have worked hard in this period of time." ”

"Master Hou taught us to 'know ourselves and know our opponents, and we will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. Last year's trip to Luoyang made his subordinates wake up to the fact that temples and rivers and lakes are part of the world. Although we are appointed officials of the imperial court, we cannot abandon the rivers and lakes, let alone despise those rivers and lakes recklessly, but we must recruit the elite among them to be used by the imperial court, so that the country can be rich and the people strong. Qin Wei said humbly, "Even the prime minister and the marquis appreciate the virtuous people in those rivers and lakes, how dare their subordinates pretend to be high?"

"Recklessness also divides people. Zhao Yuan said deeply, "Those who have courage and no strategy can be used by us." Those who are resourceful but not brave can also be used by us. But there are those who are brave and strategic, but we must be extremely careful and cautious. In the past, Luo Tianjin was definitely a leader in the rivers and lakes, but it was precisely because he was so capable that he was unwilling to be subservient to others, and even wanted to rebel against the court. There is no need to talk about this kind of person, and it is most appropriate to directly cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

"Subordinates remember!"

"You don't just have to remember, you have to understand it. ”

"Yes. Qin Wei's eyes rolled, and he cautiously said tentatively, "For no reason, why did Master Hou mention Su He?"

"Because Xifu sued us in front of the emperor, it almost made the prime minister unable to come to power. Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice, "The reason is that Liu Xunyi and Su He met alone. ”

"Shhh

"Qin Wei, it's better to listen more than to watch, it's better to remember more than to watch, and it's better to do more than to remember. Suddenly, Zhao Yuan's words changed sharply, and he asked in a wordy manner, "If there is a person who is both brave and strategic, but he is unwilling to succumb to the arrangement of the imperial court." Ben Hou asks you, what should we do with this person?"

"I don't know what Master Hou is talking about......"

"Liu Xunyi!" Zhao Yuan hit the nail on the head, "He was originally a loyal minister and a good general of the imperial court, and this kind of thing would not be his turn anyway." But this is not the case, because a woman ......"

As for this, Zhao Yuan seemed to sense that something was wrong with his words, so he changed his words: "Of course, since ancient times, 'Chong Guan was angry and became a red face', Liu Xunyi was infatuated with Zhao Xin, and it is not surprising that he had this reaction. Ben Hou means that no matter what the reason, Liu Xunyi should not turn a blind eye to the orders of the imperial court, let alone repeatedly disobey and commit crimes. Although there is no danger these times, if he is allowed to mess around, sooner or later there will be a big mess. The prime minister has always acted in advance, prepared for danger in times of peace, and will not wait for the fire to burn his eyebrows before making plans. Qin Wei, you should understand what Ben Hou meant. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Yuan's words undoubtedly poked at Qin Wei's weakness, making him in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to respond.

Ben Hou ordered him not to leave the Tianji Pavilion without permission, but he secretly ran to King Rong's Mansion in the middle of the night. Ben Hou asked him to cut off contact with Zhao Xin, and he actually asked the little prince to relieve him from the siege. He swore in front of Ben Hou that he would no longer have anything to do with Zhao Xin, but as soon as he turned around, he asked the little prince to enter the palace to deliver a letter for him. Now, he has a secret meeting with the Mongolian envoys, and you and I know exactly what he wants to do. Zhao Yuan said word by word, "In just a few days, Liu Xunyi has made more mistakes than he has been in the cabinet for more than ten years." Now, Ben Hou's order has been reduced to empty words in his heart, and it is even worse than bullshit!"

"Smack!"

Whether it was out of coldness, or out of anger, or out of sorrow, when Zhao Yuan said the last sentence, he couldn't help but crush the teacup in his hand, which shows how angry he was at Liu Xunyi's disobedience in his heart?

Qin Wei was shocked, and persuaded again and again: "Hou Ye is angry!"

"Qin Wei, you are not only Liu Xunyi's brother, but also a colleague of Tianji Pavilion. You say, what should Benhou do to him?"

"Master Hou treats Brother Liu as kind as a mountain, and even destroys the rules of Tianji Pavilion for him, and repeatedly opens up the net, which has long been benevolent and righteous. Qin Wei was hesitant and vomited, wanting to meet the source left and right, "But Brother Liu was also confused for a while, after all, he had known Princess Xinde for many years......"

Zhao Yuan's face sank, his tone became more and more stiff, and he said: "If you only toss in the Tianji Pavilion, Ben Hou can turn a blind eye." But now his nonsense has shocked the court, everyone knows the civil and military officials, the emperor is furious, the troublesome Xifu has a chance, and the troublesome prime minister has no face...... At this point, how can Ben Hou pretend to be confused anymore? I might as well tell you the truth, Xifu added fuel and vinegar in front of the emperor, hated to criticize Dongfu as a traitor who undermined Song Meng's harmony, and even insinuated that the prime minister deliberately connived at Liu Xunyi's misdeeds. Cheng was very angry at this, and strictly ordered Benhou to take care of his subordinates, and let Liu Xunyi do whatever he wanted, so as not to be caught by the people of Xifu again. ”

"This ......" Qin Wei swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and hesitated, "I didn't know that the situation would be so serious, I ......"

"Right now, the Mongolian envoy is in Lin'an City, and at this critical moment, any bit of wind and grass will be maliciously amplified by people with ulterior motives, thus causing an uproar in the court. Zhao Yuan said angrily, "For so many years, Ben Hou has always regarded Xun Yi as his own. But this son was trapped by love, and his heart was covered with lard, and he acted arbitrarily regardless of it, and even forced the entire Dongfu to the end of his rope. Qin Wei, you say, how should Ben Hou discipline him?"

"I ...... I don't know ......."

"Okay!" Seeing Qin Wei's hesitation, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sneer and nodded, "Since you don't want to decide, it's better for Ben Hou to decide for you." ”

"Lord Hou......"

"Qin Wei!" Before Qin Wei could open his mouth to persuade, Zhao Yuan suddenly had a look on his face, and his voice trembled and ordered, "You go...... Bring the head of Liu Xunyi to me. ”
