Lu Qian saw that Nangong Xue was doing everything possible to find a reason to excuse Li Yijie, knowing that she must be enduring great pain in her heart, thinking that she was willing to suffer such a grievance for Li Yijie, her heart became even more annoyed, and she said indignantly: "I'm all for you! When I negotiated reconciliation with Concubine Yun, the first condition I put forward was that I wanted you to be my wife, so she agreed to send someone to save you." And your dignified senior brother, ha, do you know that in order to please Concubine Yun, he once had the idea of dedicating you to me as the wife of the village, in exchange for Qingtianzhai's promise to recruit peace. He also wrote a letter, perfunctory words to Meng Lao'er, and then told him that if you leave for the capital immediately, he will be ready to give you to me as a gift. In his eyes, you are both a burden and a tool for him to use to climb up!"

Nangong Xue said angrily: "Impossible, you ...... I don't allow you to slander my senior brother!" Lu Qian sneered: "I slandered him? Li Yijie said bad things about me, and I am a big villain who deserves death." When I tell you the truth, you say that I am slandering? It is always wrong to betray one's comrades, for the sake of beauty and rights, what is the difference between the two? Xue'er, the way you handled it is really not the right thing for people? However, this is not my nonsense, and many people can testify! The letter sent to Huashan is also the best evidence, and you will know the truth when you see it later. ”

Nangong Xue listened to his words, her expression was calm, and she was indeed calm, and muttered: "Why are you telling me this? What is the purpose of you slandering my senior brother like this?" Lu Qian said: "I want to help you see his true face and let you understand that this person is not worthy of your life at all, and only I am the most suitable destination for you." I'm all for your good!"

Nangong Xue sneered a few times and shouted: "I don't want you to do this for my good! I'll make it clear to you once that even if I am completely dead to my senior brother, I would rather become a monk and become a nun and break off the fate of the world, I will never be with you." You...... I am very touched by your affection for me, but I will never promise you in order to repay the favor. Don't say it's for me anymore, otherwise, I'm a woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and I can't afford such a big hat. Doing this kind of thing will only make me look down on you, even if you, a traitor, save me, I feel that my life is very dirty! I knew that you had this deal with Concubine Yun, and I would have cut myself off at the top of Huashan, and I would never owe you the slightest favor. When I was soft-hearted, I caused such a big disaster, but I wasted my years in vain for you, a traitor. You...... You give me back the time I have spent for the past six years!" said with uncontrollable sadness, and beat him with fists one after another.

Lu Qian patiently shook her fist and said, "Xue'er, you can't just see a little fur and beat me to death with a stick. You really wronged me, although I was an official in the court, but I didn't mean it, so I gave up the plan to drive away Xinghan, why didn't you even give me a chance to explain? Back then, on the top of Kunlun Mountain, I was framed by others, and everyone betrayed my relatives, and you were the only one present who was merciful and tolerant of me, where was the tacit understanding at that time?" Nangong Xue was suddenly stunned when she heard this, remembering that at that time, she would also complain that decent people were too arbitrary, and what is the difference between herself now? Stopped making noise, lowered her eyebrows, and waited for him to explain.

Lu Qian sighed and said, "The aliens have been eyeing our Central Plains territory all year round, and they have never stopped for decades, and there have been many wars on the frontier. I am a disciple of the Kunlun faction, and my master has taught us since I was a child that we must defend the land in which we live, and if every Han can unite as one, how can we be attacked by foreign tribes? I have said a long time ago, surrendering them is just an expedient measure, as the saying goes, it is difficult to prevent thieves, and the right is to restore the Han family, and I can only be cheeky and be this shameless thief. When I peek inside, find out their troop lineup and combat strategy, know myself and the enemy, and then a counteroffensive can be expected. In order to achieve great things, we must first endure humiliation that ordinary people cannot endure. ”

Nangong Xue's heart was soft at the moment, and in all fairness, as long as the reason was enough to convince herself, she was still very willing to believe him. asked lightly, "What did you say...... Is it all true?" Lu Qian said categorically: "Yes, if there is half a lie, let me hit five thunderbolts in the sky, and there is no place to die! Even outsiders can't understand me and spit on me, as long as you Xue'er alone understand me and forgive me, I can have the perseverance to persevere." ”

Nangong Xue was also ashamed that she had always been too strict with Lu Qian, smiled gently, and said, "It's good if it's true." I originally thought that although you like to take advantage of small profits, you should still be able to stand firm in the face of major rights and wrongs, and you will not do treason with the enemy. Thank you very much...... Let me be convinced that I am not looking at the wrong person. ”

Lu Qian said the truth this time, and his voice was even more sincere, and said: "When I make a move and drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains, I will be the emperor at that time, and you will be my queen mother of the main palace." Li Yijie, for your sake, I can let him continue to be an official, but at that time he was your subordinate, and he didn't dare to disobey him as you wanted to deal with him. ”

Nangong Xue smiled and said: "You are beautiful, who will be the emperor, and it will not be your turn! Speaking of senior brother, I don't want to punish him, but he hasn't paid attention to me for six years, I want him to spend more time with me, accompany me to practice swords, laugh, and ......" My heart was sour, and I couldn't go on. Lu Qian answered: "Also, let him never see Concubine Yun again." ”

Nangong Xue was stunned, this was indeed a very hidden idea in her heart, and she was extremely embarrassed by Lu Qian's words, and said with a forced smile: "Do you think everyone is as petty as you? Senior brother's feelings for Shen Shiyun have always been in my eyes." Senior brother can change his temperament so much for her, if he really can't see him again, it must be sadder than killing him. Instead of letting my brother stay by my side with hatred, it is better to let go calmly and let him pursue the happiness he wants, at least to be able to get a little bit of his gratitude. Feeling that the atmosphere was too heavy, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Okay, think about one out of ten thousand, if you really become the emperor, I don't want to be the queen, you can make me the queen mother." He covered his mouth and snickered.

Lu Qian suddenly stopped talking, holding the corner of his forehead, just staring at her. Nangong Xue was uncomfortable by his hot eyes, coughed lightly, turned her gaze away, and said, "What are you looking at me for......?" What's dirty?" He tentatively wiped it on his cheek, but he felt nothing unusual, and he was even more puzzled. Lu Qian smiled and said: "Xue'er, it's been a long time since I've seen you smile so happily, your smile is so beautiful, like a hundred flowers blooming in heaven and earth." This means that the two of us can be very happy together, right?"

Nangong Xue was embarrassed for a while, and said lightly: "Lu ...... Senior Brother Lu, don't say such things, you will make me very embarrassed. ”

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't say it." Actually, I have a different opinion about your previous view. If it is the woman I love, no matter what way it takes, I must let her stay with me, even if it makes her hate me. The memories I leave behind are enough to comfort me for the rest of my life, and it is not worth it to give up my life's happiness in exchange for the other party's insignificant gratitude. Of all kinds of emotions, only gratitude is the most unreliable, otherwise how can there be so many ungrateful people? I don't believe in sacrifice and dedication, everything I chase is in my own hands. ”

Nangong Xue couldn't agree with his point of view, and she didn't like to hear him belittle his kindness so much. He turned his head away and said nothing.

Lu Qian stood up and said thoughtfully: "By the way, you haven't eaten for a few days, you must be very hungry now, right?" I'll help you go to the imperial dining room to have a look." Speaking of which, you're in good hands, and not everyone is lucky enough to eat the delicacies in the palace. Nangong Xue saw him walk to the door, suddenly remembered something, and called: "Senior Brother Lu!" Lu Qian suddenly stopped, and turned around one hundred and eighty degrees in place, the speed was so fast that even Nangong Xue was stunned, and after a little adaptation, he whispered: "Senior Brother Lu, I'm not hungry...... It's just that I want to ask you for help with something, and it's hard to ask. ”

Lu Qianxi said: "What's the hurry? Just mention it! Since it is Xue'er's junior sister begging for each other, don't say it's one, it's ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, and I can do it all for you!" Nangong Xue reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "Not so much, just one is enough." You just said that this place is the palace, so my senior brother, do you also stay here? Can you take me to see him?" Lu Qian's face slowly froze with joy, and he said in a cold voice: "Li Yijie, he may not want to see you." ”

Nangong Xue noticed that his expression was strange, and knew that this request would definitely hurt his heart, but he could only pretend not to know, and said faintly: "I know, I won't destroy his current life, as long as I look at him from a distance, it's enough." Senior brother is a very diligent person, and as soon as he starts practicing, he forgets to sleep and eat, and it is not good for his body for a long time. I want to see with my own eyes whether my brother is fat or thin, black or white......"

Every time she said a word, her tone was extremely gentle, but to Lu Qian's ears, it was like a knife cut in her heart, and she secretly thought: "I fell off the cliff and didn't die, if you don't care about it, don't ask the reason, that's it." But as soon as he heard that I was an official in the imperial court, regardless of whether I had other troubles or not, he immediately criticized me. Li Yijie's brute hurts your heart like this, and you still think about him!" The whole person was burned crazy by the fire of jealousy, and said in a strange tone: "Okay, okay, I'll take you to Li Yijie." But don't be in a hurry, get things done first, and I'll take you there. As he spoke, he walked towards the head of the bed.

Nangong Xue had a sense of foreboding, and forced a smile: "What are you doing?" Lu Qian smiled cruelly: "Of course it's our business! Li Yijie doesn't know how to cherish you at all, he has hurt you again and again, if you have flesh and blood with me, let Li Yijie know that he missed a good girl like you, shouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life? Then this tone is finally out. ”

Nangong Xue was so sensitive, she had heard his intentions, she was horrified, and she desperately shrank back, her face remained unchanged, and said, "Senior Brother Lu, you ...... What are you talking about?" Lu Qian's eyes glowed green, like a wild wolf wantonly playing with his prey under his paws, and said viciously: "You have a deep love for Li Yijie, what about me? In your heart, what am I? I have done so much for you, don't you feel it at all? You woman, your heart can't be made of stone?"

Nangong Xue said: "Of course not, Senior Brother Lu, you treat me well, and I am also very grateful...... Lu Qian shouted: "I just said that gratitude is the most unreliable emotion, you are going to use it to perfunctory me now?"

Nangong Xue carefully considered the words and said, "No, you know that my heart belongs." To use a clumsy analogy, my love for Brother Li is ...... It's like...... It's like your love for me, sincere, passionate, until the sea withers and the rocks rot, it will not change. What will happen if someone forces you to give up on me? If you really love someone, falling in love, it's a lifetime thing, and you don't want me to be a half-hearted frivolous woman......, right? I hope we can make a pair...... Very good friends, honest with each other, telling each other their hearts, only friendship, not love......"
