"Shhh

Qiu Han's words made Liu Xunyi feel a tingling scalp and a chill in his back.

What really made him uneasy was not the elusive masked men, but the increasingly confusing situation in Lin'an City.

It was only April before and after Liu Xunyi sent his relatives, but there were more changes in Lin'an City than he had lived in for more than ten years.

First of all, someone outside the city used the secret code of the Xian Wangfu to secretly contact, and then many strange faces appeared in the Tianji Pavilion, and then learned of Zhao Yuan's shocking news, and then the East Mansion changed hands, and the Tianji Pavilion changed hands, today Qiu Han and Ding Chou suddenly appeared, and blamed Liu Xunyi's good brother who was like a sibling, and now said that he was ambushed outside the city and was helped by a group of mysterious people of unknown origin......

Liu Xunyi has only returned for a few days, but the people, things, and things in Lin'an City have changed again and again, as if everyone is good, everyone is evil, everyone is wooing him, and everyone is suspicious of him......

Is it "true feelings" or "false intentions"? Is it a "friend" or an "enemy"? Is it "protection" or "house arrest"? Is it "help" or "use"......

At this moment, Liu Xunyi was full of confusion and mixed tastes, he no longer knew who to believe, and who to watch out for?

As if seeing that Liu Xunyi was hesitant, a trace of anger suddenly appeared in Qiu Han's eyes, and he asked sharply: "What? Don't you want to believe us?"

"I ......"

"Do you think my injuries are fake? I'm lying here pretending? I'm deliberately provoking you and Brother Qin Wei against each other...... Ahem......"

Seeing that Qiu Han's face was getting more and more ugly, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel worried, and wanted to say something to comfort, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Brother Qiu, I ......"

"I know my injuries best, in fact, I should ......have died a long time ago," Qiu Han gasped intermittently as if he had exhausted all his strength, "But why am I struggling to hold on to my breath? Because I am unwilling! I am not willing to let Hou Ye's death be unknown, and I am not willing to die in a blur...... I don't want to die, I want to see the day when Qin Wei has evil retribution......"

"Brother Qiu!" Liu Xunyi frowned and said tentatively, "Are you so sure that the culprit is Qin Wei, is it because of those people in black...... Is it Qin Wei's newly recruited subordinate?"

"No!" Qiu Han said in frustration, "Those people are all fresh faces, we ...... I don't know any of them. Want...... Qin Wei had already expected the worst outcome, so he didn't leave himself a single handle. ”

Hearing this, the frightened Liu Xunyi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Brother Qiu, it's not that I'm stubborn, it's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that ......" His eyes were full of confusion, and he swallowed, "In the absence of conclusive evidence, why do you insist that Qin Wei is the real murderer behind the scenes?" I know that you may be resentful that he took over the position of Lord Hou and took over the position of the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but ...... This is the emperor's will, how can Qin Wei influence it?"

"Liu Xunyi, you were deceived by Qin Wei......"

"Brother Qiu, don't be angry, and listen to what I have to say. Liu Xunyi was heartbroken, and his words were righteous, "I have known Qin Wei since childhood, although he has some small problems with greed for merit, but he is by no means a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, and he will not go against the grain and harm the innocent." Take a step back, even if Qin Wei is dissatisfied with you, he even ...... If he wants to kill you to vent his anger, he can do it in the Tianji Pavilion, so why should he entangle you and send you out of the city?

"Confused!" Qiu Hanqi's voice trembled, "He has just succeeded as the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, so he naturally wants to pretend to buy people's hearts. If he kills all the old ministers of Tianji Pavilion as soon as he takes office, not only will it be difficult to explain in front of the emperor and the court, but it will also cause great obstacles to his future future. The most important thing is that if people know that he has scales in his belly and is ruthless, who will willingly die for him in the future......?

Due to his agitation, Qiu Han coughed violently, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and the frightened Liu Xunyi and Ding Chou hurriedly stepped forward to appease him.

"I know what you think......" Qiu Han's eyes widened, staring at Liu Xunyi, who was in a dilemma, and said sadly, "You think that Qin Wei and I were at odds in the past, so I deliberately targeted him and framed him." No, you underestimate me, I am by no means the kind of person who is jealous of the virtuous and has little energy...... I only have a public grudge against Qin Wei, no personal grudge......"

"This ......"

Qiu Han's words concealed a mystery, which made Liu Xunyi hesitate.

However, he still can't believe that the good brother who has played with him since he was a child would be the kind of duplicitous villain in Qiu Han's mouth. Therefore, Liu Xunyi was reluctant to admit it in his bones, and preferred to attribute the contradiction to the old grudge between Qiu Han and Qin Wei, and even his dissatisfaction and jealousy of Qin Wei's latecomers.

After all, in Liu Xunyi's heart, Qin Wei's weight is far more important than Qiu Han and Ding Chou.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi once again defended Qin Wei: "What's more, Qin Wei ...... There's no need to kill you all. After all, you have left the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and you are no longer a thorn in his side or a thorn in his flesh, it is pointless for him to kill you, it will only add to the trouble......"

"The person he really wants to get rid of is not me, but Ding Chou!" Qiu Han ignored Liu Xunyi's persuasion and said word by word, "Kill me, just because I was too close to Ding Chou during those days, which made Qin Wei worried." ”

"What do you mean?"

Qiu Han's answer sounded tantamount to strange talk to Liu Xunyi, and he was immediately stunned, like a monk who was at a loss.

"Why did he kill Ding Chou?"

"What?" Seeing that Liu Xunyi looked dazed and didn't seem to be pretending, Qiu Han couldn't help frowning, and turned his suspicious gaze to the restless Ding Chou, and asked, "So far, you haven't told him the truth?"

"The truth?" Liu Xunyi was stunned again, looking at the two people with entangled eyes in amazement, and said curiously, "What truth?"

"Of course it'......"

"Lord Qiu!"

As soon as Qiu Han spoke, Ding Chou's eyes changed suddenly, and at the same time he interrupted: "Think about it carefully, this matter ...... It's better not to tell Lord Liu. ”

Ding Chou didn't dare to look directly into Qiu Han's eyes when he said this, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he looked like a child who had done something wrong.

"What are you talking about?" Qiu Han was shocked, and a monstrous anger appeared in his eyes, "Ding Chou, are you crazy or stupid? Do you know what you are talking about? Liu Xunyi is the only hope to help Hou Ye settle Zhaoxue's grievances, and it is also the only hope for you and me to return to Lin'an after all the hard work. We are starving in this dark place, looking forward to the stars and the moon all day long, only hoping that one day Liu Xunyi will return. Now that he's finally standing here, what nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that you're cowardly and want to escape?"

"Yes!" Ding Chou forcibly endured the tears that kept rolling in his eyes, and said stubbornly, "I'm afraid! It's enough! We finally picked up a small life, why can't we cherish it? Why did we deliberately send it to death?"

"Bastard!" Qiu Han was furious, hating to stare out his eyes, and scolded angrily, "If the eldest husband can't live against the sky, what's the use of stealing his life?"

"Aren't we living in steal now......?"

"Of course not!" Qiu Han roared, "We are now bearing the burden of humiliation!"

"To be able to take revenge is to endure humiliation, if you can't take revenge...... It's just stealing a living!"

For the first time in his life, Ding Chou confronted Qiu Han, and in a tough way that did not give an inch, not only made Qiu Han speechless for a while, but even Liu Xunyi was stunned.

"Little Dingzi, you...... What's going on?"

"Lord Liu, let's go!" Ding Chou turned his head, as if he didn't want Liu Xunyi to see his cowardly appearance, and said disheartenedly, "I have thought very clearly just now, what Chu Mao said is right...... You will soon be the deputy pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, a great future awaits you, we should not 'bewitch the people', let alone drag you into the water because of a hopeless thing, causing you to become a beggar like us......"

"This ......"

"Ding Chou, are you willing to extinguish your conscience in order to survive?" Qiu Han, who gradually woke up, was no longer as excited as he was just now, and his tone was full of sadness, "My life is short, and it is not a pity to die!" But you are different...... You still have a long way to go in the future, and once you sell your conscience, you will never be able to find peace in this life......"

"It's not that I'm betraying my conscience, it's that we can't stand up to them. Ding Chou sobbed, "People are powerful and powerful, don't say that they have deep roots in Lin'an, and even in the Great Song Dynasty, they are also big people with hands and eyes." It is easier to pinch us to death than to pinch an ant to death, what can we do to fight with others? How can we win the fight? Even if we tell Brother Liu the truth? Can Brother Liu defeat them? Of course not, in the end, there will only be one more person in prison, and there is no other meaning, and the outcome will not change in any way. What's more, Qin Wei is a good brother of Brother Liu, if we don't say anything, Qin Wei will not only not embarrass Brother Liu, but will help him get promoted and make a fortune. But if we say what we shouldn't say, Brother Liu will not only lose his good future, but also have to endure great suffering and pain. If so, we are not helping him, but harming him......"

"This ......"

Ding Chou's words made Qiu Han fall into deep thought.

Although he scoffed at Ding Chou's "resignation", he had to admit that what Ding Chou said was not unreasonable. In the past, Qiu Han may uphold his beliefs and be maverick, but now he is paralyzed in bed, and the end is approaching...... Naturally, the mood is very different from what it used to be.

As the saying goes, "When a person is dying, his words are good, and when a bird is dying, his song is also mourning."

Before today, Ding Chou and Qiu Han were carried away by anger, and they only wanted to use Liu Xunyi's hand to deal with Qin Wei.

However, when Ding Chou saw Liu Xunyi repeatedly and repeatedly justifying Qin Wei, his heart suddenly opened up, and his judgment of the current situation returned to rationality, so his thinking changed dramatically in an instant.

It's just that today's great changes in thinking are not limited to Ding Chou and Qiu Han?
