Chapter 255
This time, Concubine Xu did not panic, did not appear weak, but let Lin Qingyang hold her still, and slowly stroked her belly with her hands at the same frequency, with a smile on her mouth, and said in a tactful voice: "The poisonous snake ?What's the meaning?"
"A poisonous snake who cooperates with the regent of Tianheng Kingdom." Lin Qingyang tentatively.In fact, he wasn't 100% sure, but Xu Bin's reaction was already stronger than her father's. The mysterious person Jing Rouyin mentioned was most likely her. Although Lin Qingyang was shocked, he felt that the person in front of him was more powerful Possibly a venomous snake.
Xu Bin paused for a moment, then laughed out loud, rolled his eyes lightly, and then admitted directly, "The regent king of Tianheng Kingdom did help me, but how do you know? Give me back the money." Such an ugly title."
Lin Qingyang's breathing stagnated for an instant, and Xu Pin's aura suddenly changed, which made Lin Qingyang feel that what he was strangling was not a weak woman, but a real poisonous snake.
"Ah, could it be that Chu Lishu found it again? Strange, I should have hidden it very well. No wonder Yusuoxi said that the existence of Chu Lishu would eventually hinder my plan. Such a powerful person should be eliminated. , but fortunately, he has played all the roles he should have played, without him and Prime Minister Li... Hehe... I really don't know how many years I have to wait to get to this point, thank you for clearing the obstacles for me."
"You... It's because I saved you back then!" Lin Qingyang felt completely fooled, and was so angry that he could only say such a useless sentence.
Concubine Xu smiled, and said in a serious tone: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I don't know martial arts. I didn't expect Concubine Mei to bribe me so quickly and the people around me were eager to harm me. Sometimes it seems that people can't hold back the destiny after all their tricks are exhausted. A frozen lake almost killed me, and I think it's funny to imagine. Thanks to you, otherwise I would really die there. So... I I won't kill you. As for your cousin Chu Lishu, a person like him who can't even be controlled by Prime Minister Li is too dangerous, I can't spare his life."
"It's funny, now who doesn't spare anyone's life, do you think Chu Lishu is someone you can deal with?" Lin Qingyang's eyes were filled with cruelty, his mood was indescribable, the so-called fate made her like this The cannon fodder disappeared, but he changed Xu Pin's life, but he didn't want to leave a poisonous snake behind.
The dagger almost cut through Xu Pin's neck, but Xu Pin didn't move at all. "Mr. Lin, it's better not to struggle, I'm afraid you will hurt yourself."
"You know, it's the Party of Four Princes who has the upper hand now!" Lin Qingyang sneered, and took Xu Concubine hostage and went out. Although he said so, he was worried about Chu Lishu. Now that the poisonous snake had been found, he There's no need to stay here, he's going to find Chu Lishu.
"Tell your people not to follow, otherwise I don't mind sending my saved life away."
Concubine Xu waved her hands cooperatively, and ordered: "You stay and take care of the Queen Mother, don't worry about me."
When the queen mother heard this, she immediately said angrily: "You..."
Lin Qingyang was surprised, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I believe you. You are Wen Ze's friend. As long as I cooperate, I don't think you will kill the weak casually. Don't you even protect Jing Rouyin?" Xu Bin said.
"Oh, I think you are more terrifying than any strong man now." After Lin Qingyang finished speaking, he led Xu Bin away quickly.
He was going to see Chu Lishu, the emperor was there, Empress Cheng and Yuan Ye were also there, the three of them together would definitely hurt Chu Lishu's heart, he had to stay by his side.
The Queen Mother came to her senses, but she was powerless to resist. The guards at the door were all left by Concubine Xu.
"Grandmother, what the hell is going on..." The fourth prince who was left behind was completely confused by the accident.
The queen mother looked at the fourth prince and was suddenly a little surprised. Why... Since Concubine Xu is a person with evil intentions, why didn't she threaten Prime Minister Li with the fourth prince? Isn't Wei Guogong's mansion and Prime Minister Li hostile?
Just as she was thinking, there was a movement at the door suddenly, the queen mother looked over, her face suddenly turned ugly, it turned out that the person who came was Wei Guogong.
Wei Guogong walked in, but respectfully saluted the queen mother, and then asked about the situation of the surrounding guards. Hearing that Concubine Xu was kidnapped by Lin Qingyang, he refused to let anyone follow him, so he nodded.
"What? You, a father, are not worried at all?" The Queen Mother mocked.
Wei Guogong said with a smile: "My daughter is stronger than me, we all listen to her, and she is sure of what she makes."
"Hehe, are you father and daughter rebelling too?" asked the Queen Mother.
"The empress dowager misunderstood. It is the Four Princes' Party headed by Prime Minister Li who rebelled. What does it have to do with us?" Wei Guogong laughed.
"Just now Xu Lanxin admitted, what Tianheng Kingdom, what regent king, you are collaborating with the enemy and traitor!"
Facing the queen mother's questioning, Wei Guogong was not flustered at all, and said directly: "It's just normal exchanges with neighboring countries. We are from the Great Zhou, so we are naturally loyal to the Great Zhou. The queen mother can rest assured about this."
The Empress Dowager looked at Wei Guogong sternly, "You...what are you trying to do?" The Empress Dowager is not stupid, the behavior of the father and daughter of Wei Guogong is not like Qin Wang's escort.
"Of course...after all the dust settles, help my grandson become emperor." Wei Guogong said slowly.
"You want to kill the emperor, and you still want to support the unborn child to ascend the throne?" The queen mother was almost amused, "Even if Xu Lanxin's belly is confirmed to be pregnant with the prince, she is only a few months old. Is he going to be enthroned? You also ask the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty if they agree."
"Whether you agree or not, the Empress Dowager will naturally help you. The Empress Dowager has been emperors for three generations. Everyone will listen to what you say. As long as you support me, everything will come naturally."
The queen mother sneered directly: "You think Aijia is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? You underestimate Aijia too much."
"It's true. When it comes to being cruel, who can compare to you. But people have weaknesses, and there is at least one thing that you care about." After finishing speaking, Wei Guogong handed over a box, in front of the Queen Mother. Slowly opened the lid in front of him.
A bloody hand suddenly appeared inside, which directly frightened the queen mother. The queen mother wanted to avoid her sight, but suddenly she looked away, and she recognized the jade wrench finger on the severed hand, which was clearly...
"You...you..."
"The Queen Mother will cooperate."
The Empress Dowager collapsed immediately, trembling with rage, the only blood of their Xie family...
The fourth prince immediately supported the queen mother, and said anxiously: "Wei Guogong, why are you doing this? Is the father sorry for you? Is the throne so important?"
"If it's not important, what are your relatives working on?" Wei Guogong mocked, "Bring it in."
Duke Wei said.Someone supported a man who was struggling frantically from the outside.
"Mother Concubine!" The fourth prince was shocked and immediately rushed up, the person who came threw Concubine Mei to the fourth prince, and the two of them fell to the ground.
The Queen Mother was already powerless to resist, and could only watch everything helplessly. If Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince were in the hands of Wei Guogong, it would be very difficult for the Party of Four Princes to win.What's worse is that now both the Four Princes' Party and Duke Wei's government want the emperor's life.
"Queen Mother, think about it carefully. After all, apart from my unborn grandson, the emperor has no other objects to inherit."
The queen mother thought they were going to kill the fourth prince, and immediately looked over worriedly, only to see Concubine Mei hugging the fourth prince in a panic, with a very strange expression on her face.
"Look at them!" Wei Guogong said and was about to go out.
The Queen Mother finally held her spirits up and couldn't help but said: "Duke Wei... You and the Xie family almost became in-laws back then, and Xu Lanxin and my grand-nephew were betrothed since childhood. Later, when you retired, my grand-nephew even spoke good words for you. How could you treat him so cruelly just to force me?"
Wei Guogong finally sighed, turned his head and said: "If you want to blame, you have to blame yourself for committing too many crimes. But don't worry, as long as you cooperate, Xie Yiqing's life can still be saved. After all, my daughter is still useful to keep him. "
……
"Where are we going?" Xu Lanxin asked calmly.
"Hall of Qinzheng!" Lin Qingyang said directly.
Xu Lanxin was taken aback for a moment, and then slowed down her pace slightly, "Could it be that Chu Lishu is there, so he won't protect the emperor?"
Lin Qingyang thought that the pregnant woman was tired from walking, but instead of accommodating her, he increased his strength and half dragged her away.
Seeing that Lin Qingyang ignored her, Xu Lanxin said, "Lin Qingyang, I heard that you admire your cousin, but I didn't find anything out of the investigation. I think your cousin relationship is also an obstacle, and I heard that you liked me before. Is it true brother?"
Lin Qingyang didn't expect that Xu Lanxin would still want to chat with him at this time, "Does it have something to do with you?"
"Of course... After all, he is my younger brother. If you two have a good relationship, you can help me better in the future."
"Concubine Xu, you've changed so fast that I can't get used to it. You must be crazy. Do you think it's possible?" Lin Qingyang really didn't expect Concubine Xu to be such a crazy person. "It really is a nest of snakes and rats with the west of the Imperial Palace."
"I'm just telling the truth, Gosho Nishi is really crazy, I'm not, I know what I'm doing."
"Oh, what are you doing? Seeking the throne? Treasoning the country and collaborating with the enemy?"
"Hehe, to sum it up, just like those concubines in the harem, helping my son become the emperor."
"You are obviously the most favored now, and you can be safe and secure..." This is what Lin Qingyang can't figure out the most. No matter what they are planning, at least from the perspective of Wei Guogong's mansion, it is more convenient to support the emperor.
"Heh, who can bear to be a woman to an enemy? I wish he would die day and night. Not only him, but the royal family members are disgusting to me, so I said I thank Chu Lishu. Without him, there is no such thing as this." With the help of talented people, I did not get out of the sea of suffering so quickly."
"You have enmity with the emperor?"
Now Concubine Xu didn't speak, but changed the subject and said, "What about Chu Li Shu, is there any grudge against the emperor? He seems to be helping Prime Minister Li, but he is actually doing things by himself. He must have written all the changes in the six volumes." , He is... he doesn't want to be the emperor himself, or he wants to be a regent like Yusuoxi, intervene in the court, and support the puppet emperor to prove that he has the means?"
Concubine Xu didn't answer, and Lin Qingyang naturally wouldn't be fooled by her routine, but asked directly: "I really can't see that you are so smart? It seems that none of the civil and military men in the dynasty have ever suspected anything."
"I'm not stupid. The time when Prime Minister Li exerted his strength was when you came. Of course I know that Chu Lishu is not a simple character, but did a smart person tell me about the six parts? Otherwise, I would have missed it." It is." Xu Bin laughed.
"Gosho West?"
"It's not him." Xu Bin smiled.
Lin Qingyang's eyes changed slightly, knowing that he couldn't ask, so he could only change the subject, "Since you are not collaborating with the enemy and treason, you and Yusuoxi..."
"Four years ago, he saved my life, and we have been in touch since then. He lent me some strength, probably because he wanted to see how a weak woman can toss, that's all." Xu Bin said casually, Obviously really not familiar with Gosho West.
Lin Qingyang immediately asked: "You just said that Yusuoxi told you that Chu Lishu would hinder your plan, and he told you this time when he came on the Wanshou Festival?"
"Yes, we met. I didn't plan to keep Chu Li's book, but Yusuoxi confirmed what I thought in my heart."
Lin Qingyang gritted his teeth, what on earth does Yusuoxi want to do?He told Concubine Xu that he was going to deal with Chu Lishu, but he did not tell Concubine Xu the identity of Chu Lishu.Lin Qingyang felt that he couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. After all, who can understand what a lunatic does?
"If there's anything else you want to ask, let's ask it together, but I may not be able to answer it." Pin Xu smiled, obviously knowing that Lin Qingyang was talking nonsense.
Looking at the two sides that were already fighting on the way to Qinzheng Hall, no matter which team they met, it was actually safe for Lin Qingyang's current identity.
It's just that it's hard to say that he held Xu Bin hostage, but now I don't care about so much. "
"Last question, is Xu Wenze involved?"
Xu Pin smiled, "You really care about my brother, do you really like it? Don't worry, my brother is too upright and simple, he will not agree to our plan, so I asked my father to guard against him from the beginning, Then use him to give false impressions to the people around, no, you and Chu Lishu, Yue Chen and Huo Luo were all deceived, weren't they?"
Lin Qingyang felt harsh when he heard Xu Bin's laughter. It turned out that they had been calculated into it long ago, and were even used as tools. beautiful.
Lin Qingyang didn't believe that Duke Wei's mansion could deal with the powerful Four Princes Party, even if Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince were taken as hostages, it would only form a confrontation.Wei Guogong's lack of military strength is the biggest weakness.
And Chu Lishu had already been prepared against them, so he didn't have to worry about it. After he killed the emperor, he would deal with them slowly.
Lin Qingyang told himself not to panic, after all, seeing the whole thing now, the most surprising thing is that Concubine Xu is a poisonous snake.
Lin Qingyang took Xu Pin on the road, and finally encountered the rebel army inevitably.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Li and Zhao Cheng were the ones they encountered at the beginning. Obviously, they already had the upper hand. The imperial guards did not act.
Prime Minister Li was also wearing a military uniform, and when he saw Lin Qingyang, he immediately said happily: "Yes, I was about to deal with that old fox Wei Guogong, and Qingyang's hostage was sent just in time. Where are the fourth prince and Concubine Mei?"
"Concubine Mei doesn't know, the fourth prince is with the queen mother." Lin Qingyang just thought about whether to take the fourth prince with him, but if he did so, the enemy might think that the fourth prince could threaten him, and he would not Martial arts, holding one person hostage is already the limit, it is impossible to take the fourth prince with him.So I can only stay with the Queen Mother.
Prime Minister Li frowned slightly and immediately said to Zhao Cheng: "Where are the people you sent, why haven't they been rescued yet?"
Zhao Cheng bowed his head and said something, Prime Minister Li snorted dissatisfiedly, but did not continue to ask.
Lin Qingyang glanced at Zhao Cheng. After all, he was not dead, which always made people uneasy, but since Chu Lishu decided to use Zhao Cheng first, there would be no problem.
"Okay, give us the hostage, Qingyang, are you with us or..."
Lin Qingyang thought for a while, and planned to hand over the poisonous snake to Prime Minister Li, which was the safest way, and he could go to find Chu Lishu without packing.
So he was about to let go, when suddenly there was a scream that pierced the sky. "Lin Qingyang, don't let go, they are in the same group!"
When Lin Qingyang heard it was Lu Shi's voice, he immediately reacted.
Fortunately, Concubine Xu didn't know martial arts, and the others were still a little far away from them, so Lin Qingyang could continue to hold Concubine Xu hostage.
Looking up, Lu Shi had already turned over from behind a wall. When he landed, he was almost unable to stand still. His body was covered in blood and his face was pale. He was already at the end of his battle.
"Take her and run to see the master, I'll stop you!" Lv Shiyi was already standing in front of Lin Qingyang with a knife in his hand, facing death.
Until now, Lin Qingyang didn't understand what was going on, but he still acted obediently and immediately.
On the opposite side, Prime Minister Li said with a blank face, "You...what's the situation?"
At this moment, Xu Bin who was being held hostage to leave slowly said: "Forget it, it's almost done, let's do it."
One sentence made Lin Qingyang tensely tighten Xu Bin's neck instantly, thinking that someone would jump out from all directions immediately.
However, Lu Shi retreated directly, and he was facing Prime Minister Li Zhao Cheng's team.
There was a flash of silver light, blood spattered three feet in an instant, and dozens of heads fell to the ground.
There was a scream, and Li Chengxiang covered his broken throat and looked at Zhao Cheng in horror, his eyes full of disbelief. "For...why..."
Zhao Cheng raised his head slowly, with a mocking smile on his face, "With you here... Meier will never give up, let alone be my wife willingly, so how can my son come back to me, right? ?”
Prime Minister Li stared angrily, and fell down in a deep sense of unwillingness.
Lin Qingyang couldn't care about the changes, and just wanted to escape quickly, but he was already surrounded by soldiers, and Lu Shi wanted to fight, but he was powerless. He was injured too badly, his clothes were soaked in blood, so he could only defend himself With the approach of the enemy, even this is shaky.
Zhao Cheng turned his head to look at Concubine Xu, with a gloomy expression and a terrible scar on his face, completely different from Zhao Cheng in the past.
"Don't worry, General Zhao, I keep my word. When things are done, you can go to the Queen Mother's side and you will naturally get what you want." Xu Bin smiled.
"I'll go to Qinzheng Palace first." Zhao Cheng said.
"Don't bother, just clear the nearby rebels first. I...don't worry about it." After Xu Bin finished speaking with a smile, Zhao Cheng nodded and led some people away, leaving manpower to guard them.
Seeing this, Lu Shi immediately fought back, but the remaining part turned out to be killer-level, and the current Lu Shi couldn't beat it at all.
"Stop!" Seeing that Lu Shi was about to be killed, Lin Qingyang quickly used Xu Pin to shout.
"Okay, stop, it's just a small guard." Xu Bin said.Then he slowly said to Lin Qingyang who was trembling with excitement behind him: "How is it? Now you still think... do we lose?"
"You... together?" Lin Qingyang finally understood what Lv Shi was talking about.
"I have the same purpose as General Zhao, so we are naturally in the same group."
"Purpose..." Lin Qingyang suddenly realized what Zhao Cheng said just now, "Could it be... Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince are... yes..."
"What? Are you scared?" Xu Bin laughed.
Lin Qingyang gritted his teeth and said: "What am I afraid of? You are still in my hands. Since you belong to the same group, he can't let you go. Get out of the way, or I will kill her!"
Lin Qingyang immediately yelled at the soldiers surrounding them, maximizing the role of hostages.The soldiers backed away fearfully. Lin Qingyang glanced at the unconscious Lu Shi, and could only forcefully feed him ginseng pills. Lu Shiqiang opened his eyes, and finally said, "Leave me alone, the master is in danger. go!"
Lin Qingyang held back his sadness, Zhao Cheng turned against him, and he was with Concubine Xu. Concubine Xu had decided to kill Chu Lishu here from the very beginning, so he had to find Chu Lishu first, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
Lin Qingyang took Concubine Xu to the direction of Qinzheng Palace, and the soldiers still followed.
Concubine Xu seemed as relaxed as taking a walk, and said: "Anyway, there is still a distance, why don't I tell you, you must have a lot of doubts about Zhao Cheng and us."
Lin Qingyang was in a confused mood, he didn't understand why Pin Xu wasted time talking nonsense with him, and he didn't bother to interrupt her, so he could only pray to Chu Lishu to deal with it quickly and found something unusual.
"In fact, it all stemmed from an accident. General Zhao got drunk and made a mistake. Concubine Mei had the fourth prince. At that time, she urgently needed Zhao Cheng's strength and the existence of the child, so she swallowed her anger and did not let Zhao Cheng know about the accident. , and used the child in my stomach to secure the position of concubine. I accidentally discovered that the identity of the fourth prince was different. After the investigation, I didn't want General Zhao to be deceived, so I told him after he went to the east. At that time, General Zhao knew that he had been deceived. How miserable he was to take advantage of. He loved Concubine Mei deeply, but was looked down upon by Concubine Mei and Li Cheng. In the end, he turned around and used his son to seek the throne, so he had a goal, which was to reunite with Concubine Mei and the fourth prince's family. .”
It is almost impossible for a courtier to marry a concubine and recognize the prince, unless Concubine Mei and the fourth prince feign death to change their identities, or Zhao Cheng seeks to codify the throne.
After all, Zhao Cheng didn't have the ambition to be an emperor, he only wanted his own small family, so he chose the first option and cooperated with Xu Bin.
Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li are arrogant, so naturally they will not give in easily, so Prime Minister Li must be killed so that Concubine Mei has nothing to rely on.Then he helped Concubine Xu and Concubine Xu's children to take the position, and kept his position as a general, so that Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince had no chance of winning the throne, completely lost hope, and could only rely on him.
Zhao Cheng knew that even if he acted as a licking dog to support his son to the throne and let Concubine Mei become a noble queen mother, she would not look at him more, so in order to get this hateful woman, Zhao Cheng could only interrupt her desire to marry him. Goofy's wings made it impossible for her to climb on top of him forever.
From now on, Concubine Mei can only be the general's wife, and the fourth prince can only be the young general. This is what Zhao Cheng wants.
Xu Bin's proposal was in line with his wishes, so he obediently suspended his death to cooperate with all Xu Bin's plans.
Hearing this, even though Lin Qingyang didn't want to be affected, he couldn't stop his emotional turmoil. He could only force himself to calm down, "It's just Zhao Cheng, I said you are in my hands, everything is still..." It's Qinzheng Palace, they are coming.
"Who said there is only Zhao Cheng?" Xu Bin smiled and said, "There is another person in this court who has surrendered to me, and it is very useful."
"Who?" Lin Qingyang couldn't help asking nervously.
"Director Sheng."
Lin Qingyang was taken aback. Didn't Manager Sheng be demoted to the miscellaneous things... Before Lin Qingyang could think about it, an alarm sounded in his mind, indicating that Chu Lishu's life was in danger.
Lin Qingyang's face changed suddenly, and at this moment, Xu Bin said quietly: "We'd better not get close, it's too dangerous, I guess it's about this time, I wanted the emperor, Empress Cheng and Yuan Ye's family to come together Guixi, unfortunately, Chu Lishu is here, so they are included together..."
Before Pin Xu finished speaking, Lin Qingyang once again felt the explosion that shook the earth along with the earth-shattering rumble.A heat wave hit, almost knocking them down.
The alarms in my mind have become one, and the male lead's vital signs are dropping rapidly.
