Chapter 874: Wanting to Cover Up (1)

The imperial court made a desperate move, the privy deputy was assassinated, and the mysterious master rescued people late at night......

The Lin'an incident is not trivial, and Liu Xunyi's earth-shattering move is even more appalling.

As the saying goes, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles". Almost overnight, Lin'an, the privy deputy envoy, Liu Xunyi, and the mysterious man ...... All of them have become the object of everyone's conversation, and all kinds of gossip have spread far and wide, and they are all known in the rivers and lakes.

Especially Liu Xunyi, the "exploits of a hundred battles" in the past are no match for today's "absconding in fear of crime".

In just a few days, under the echo of the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, the public opinion of the people has undergone earth-shaking changes. Gradually, no one mentioned Liu Xunyi's hard work in Mobei, and no one praised him for the tragic price he paid to keep the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, people "prefer" to regard him as a traitorous lackey with foreign countries, an insatiable and despicable villain, and a cruel and unkind ferocious fanatic. The people in the rivers and lakes hated him for eating inside and out, and plotted to kill Luo Tianjin, the leader of the martial arts alliance. The people of Xingdou resented him for acting as a tiger, causing the grain depot of Xingyuan Sanfu to be robbed.

Coupled with the sensational Lin'an Incident, Liu Xunyi's assassination of the privy deputy was not only a contempt for the royal law, but also regarded as a blatant confrontation with the imperial court, and even the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation.

Today, Liu Xunyi has offended the court, martial arts, and the people. It is notorious, people and gods are indignant, and it has completely fallen into the embarrassing situation of "everyone in the world is punished for it".

However, despite the storms and thunder and lightning in the outside world, Liu Xunyi, who was in the center of the whirlpool, seemed to have evaporated from the world, and since the assassination of the privy deputy failed, there has been no news.

Ten days later, Lin'an City, Privy Council.

"Qi Qi Xiangye, the privy deputy envoy's injury has not healed, and he still needs to stay in bed to recuperate, so he can only meet guests in the inner room and look at Lord Haihan!"

On a sunny morning, Lord Jia, who was the acting prime minister of Dongfu, came to the Privy Council uncharacteristically to visit his "old enemy" Lord Qian.

Interestingly, today's companion to Lord Jia is also a "frequent visitor" of the Privy Council, Tianji Hou Qinwei.

Qin Wei had no idea about Lord Jia's arrangements in advance, and he was temporarily called by him early this morning, so he didn't know anything about his true intentions, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

As the "military attache commander" of the Eastern Mansion and the "loyal supporter" of Lord Qian, it has long been commonplace for Qin Wei to meet with Lord Qian or Lord Jia alone, and he can deal with it easily. But today, meeting two adults at the same time like this is the first time in the world.

From the moment Qin Wei stepped into the Privy Council, his thoughts, expressions, eyes, words and deeds were all jerky and sluggish, sandwiched between the two powerful military ministers, in case Lord Jia and Lord Qian disagreed, who should he help to speak?

However, compared to Qin Wei, who was anxious, Lord Jia behaved calmly and calmly.

Under the guidance of the two guards, Lord Jia and Qin Wei walked through the courtyard and went straight to Lord Qian's bedroom.

Today, Lord Qian's external injuries have recovered, and his face still looks a little pale, but the spirit of the whole person has changed greatly compared to the previous few days.

"Lord Jia and Lord Qin were able to take time out of their busy schedules to come, and the old man was grateful. I have never been far away, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

As soon as he saw the two of them, Lord Qian, who was leaning on the head of the bed and being fed medicine by two maidservants, couldn't help but change his eyes and wanted to get up, but was politely rejected by Lord Jia, who stepped forward quickly: "There are no outsiders here, Lord Qian doesn't have to be polite! You are sick, you should cultivate well, hehe......"

"It's just old, how dare Lord Laojia worry. Master Qian did not refuse, leaned back on the head of the bed, and instructed the two maidservants, "You go down first, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb you." ”

"Yes. ”

After the order was given, the two maidservants tiptoed out of the inner room with the decoction in hand. In a moment, only Lord Jia, Lord Qian, and Qin Wei were left in the room, and the three of them looked at each other, with different thoughts, and the atmosphere gradually became a little subtle.

"Master Jia has always had a lot of opportunities, and he has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, since there are no outsiders here, please dare to speak up. After a long silence, Lord Qian, as the master, took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

"Since Lord Qian is quick to talk, the official is no longer pretending to be mysterious, so he simply opens the skylight and speaks brightly. Master Jia looked full of expression, and said with a straight face, "Actually, this official came here today for two things. One is to visit Lord Qian for the emperor, he is very concerned about you, and he will inquire every time he goes to court. ”

"The emperor is long, the old minister will die hard!" Lord Qian arched his hand to the sky, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of emotion.

"The second is to find clothes for Liu. ”

"Shhh

Lord Jia's words changed suddenly, which made the hearts of Lord Qian and Qin Wei, who were caught off guard, tighten.

"Liu Xunyi?"

Lord Qian frowned, and quickly calculated in his heart. At this moment, compared to Liu Xunyi, he was more curious about Lord Jia's voice. After all, Master Jia is cunning and cunning, and it is profitable to do anything, and it is impossible to be untargeted.

Today, he came uninvited, and suddenly mentioned Liu Xunyi, there must be another purpose.

Thinking of this, Master Qian deliberately pretended to be confused, and asked, "What's the matter with Liu Xunyi?"

"Right now, Liu Xunyi is not only Lord Qian's sworn enemy, but also a piece of the emperor's heart......"

"Lord Jia is serious!" Lord Qian corrected seriously, "Lao Yu and Liu Xunyi only have a national enmity, and have no personal grudges, so he should not be the mortal enemy of Lao Xuan, but the mortal enemy of the imperial court, the mortal enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the mortal enemy of the people of the world." ”

"What Lord Qian said is extremely true, and the official is speechless. A faint light flashed in Lord Jia's eyes when he looked at Lord Qian, and he said, "Now, this official thinks that the danger of the imperial court has overridden the political opinions of the two eastern and western governments, so he made a special trip here to ...... Seek common ground while reserving differences, and tide over difficulties together. As the saying goes, 'gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are the same but not harmonious', this official thinks that the privy envoy, Lord Qian, and even colleagues up and down in the Xifu are all loyal and righteous gentlemen, and they will never fight in the same room when the country is in danger. After all, the sages taught that 'those who want to be outside must first settle inside'. ”

"This ......"

Looking at Lord Jia who spoke earnestly, Lord Qian couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his hesitant gaze to Qin Wei, who was stunned, hesitated for a long time but didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, the self-aware Qin Wei hurriedly bowed to Lord Jia and Lord Qian, and said embarrassedly: "Since the two adults have something to discuss, then the lower official will retire first......

"No need!" Lord Jia interrupted with a righteous wave of his hand, "This official just said that there are no outsiders here. Therefore, today's ...... No! It should be that from now on, you don't have to avoid my conversation with Master Qian. ”

"This ......" Qin Wei didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lord Jia's gourd, and he didn't dare to ask or refuse, so he could only bow his hand and thank him under Lord Qian's suspicious gaze, "Thank you Xiangye for your trust, and go down to the official...... Flattered. ”

"Young people dare to fight, the future is terrifying, and they will be able to make great achievements in the future. Master Jia said with a smile, "There were some small misunderstandings between you and me in the past, and it just so happened that Lord Qian was here today, so it is better to be a witness for us." You and I are both ministers of the Eastern Mansion, and we will inevitably deal with each other in the future, and if we have always been estranged, we are only afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the country. I mean, the past grievances are not to blame, you and I will work together in the future to share worries for the king. Ignorance...... What do you think?"

"It's so good, the officials can't ask for it......"

As for this, the ecstatic Qin Wei suddenly noticed that Lord Qian's face seemed to be a little gloomy, and his heart was full of fire as if it was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water, and his excited voice subconsciously stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, Lord Jia raised his eyebrows, cast a meaningful gaze on the thoughtful Lord Qian, and asked quietly, "I don't know what Lord Qian thinks?"

"Haha......" Lord Qian faced Lord Jia and Qin Wei as if they were two people, but instead of being displeased, he smiled and celebrated, "The old man can pick up this life because Lord Qin saves him in time, and he is my life-saving benefactor." Now, regardless of his previous suspicions, Lord Jia is willing to give him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and the old man is sincerely happy for him. To tell you the truth, I also think that this son is brave and strategic, brave and loyal, and will become a great weapon in time. ”

"Qin Wei, did you hear that?" Lord Jia was anti-guest, and urged Qin Wei, who was in turmoil, "It's rare that Lord Qian has raised you so much, why don't you thank you quickly?"

"Oh! Thank you, Lord Qian, for your praise!"

"No need to be polite!" Lord Qian waved his hand casually, and then asked Lord Jia, who was pretending to be pretending, "My lord just mentioned Liu Xunyi, I don't know ......."

"Actually, this official knows that Xifu has always maintained an inextricable relationship with some martial arts people, and even when Liu Xunyi sneaked into the Xianwang Mansion, when the emperor explicitly forbade Xifu from meddling in the Central Plains martial arts...... You haven't really severed contact with the Jianghu people. ”

"Master Jia, this matter ......"

"Huh!" Before the frightened Lord Qian could explain, Master Jia smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry! This official came here today to ask the teacher for guilt, let alone to threaten and intimidate. What's more, the official doesn't have the slightest credential in his hand, so how dare he use this to blackmail......? When I mentioned these, in the final analysis, it is still related to Liu Xunyi. ”

"I want to hear it!" Lord Qian's heart was up and down, but on the surface, he was not shocked.

"The relationship between the Xifu and the martial arts people does not want to delve into it, after all, the plan of the Dongfu Zhao'an has been completed, and the emperor no longer trusts us. Since ancient times, 'the capable are above and the mediocre are down', since our Dongfu does not have the ability to control the Central Plains martial arts, we should abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and your Xifu will take over. In the end, no matter who can succeed in the east and west provinces, it will be for the imperial court to gather strength and seek benefits for the common people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Lord Jia takes care of the overall situation, in a word, he admires the old decay!"

"In this case, this official should not keep any news secret, especially not from his colleagues in Xifu. ”

"News?" Lord Qian was secretly taken aback, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that Lord Feijia has news of Liu Xunyi?"

"To be precise, it's the news of the group of mysterious people who rescued Liu Xunyi. It's just that those people are haunted and very good at hiding, and I am afraid that the wanted people of the court and the government alone will not be enough to find them. Therefore, those martial arts people who need to be befriended by Xifu ...... Help. ”

"Who are those?" In the face of Lord Jia's repeated mention of "martial arts people", Lord Qian neither admitted nor denied it, but waited for an opportunity to test it, "How does Lord Jia know?"

"It doesn't matter who those are, what matters is that the forces behind them are extraordinary. As for how the official knows...... It's a shame to say that those people have held their officials hostage, and Qin Wei also knows about this. Since the official was robbed, I have been secretly searching for news about them, until Liu Xunyi inadvertently mentioned a mysterious person during his infiltration into the Xianwang Mansion, which made the official suddenly, and then little by little, I finally found out who was behind the scenes. This person had been in cahoots with Luo Tianjin and plotted to rebel. His ambitions, power, and means cannot be underestimated, and now that he has sent someone to rescue Liu Xunyi, he is by no means nosy, he must have other plans. At this critical moment, if the east and west governments cannot release their previous suspicions, if the court and the martial arts cannot share the same hatred, once this person makes a career in the Central Plains through Liu Xunyi, it will definitely endanger the world and cause endless troubles in the future. ”

"Xiangye is talking about ......" Qin Wei frowned, and recalled carefully, "Xun Qin?"

"Xun Qin is just his 'incarnation' in the Central Plains, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is a descendant of the Western Liao royal family, the 'King of Shaoqin' Yelutai!"
