I Persuade People With Reason

After a moment of silence, Qin Mo said, "I don't understand what Your Highness means."

"You really don't understand?" Yuan Buwei looked at him.

His eyes were flat, his tone more flat.

It's not stern, but it seems to be able to penetrate the heart.

Meeting his eyes, Qin Mo took a breath.

- He knows it all! He must have known!

There was an eerie silence in the study.

"Today in the eldest princess' mansion, I almost killed a person alone. It's like something happened suddenly..." Yuan Buwei recalled his previous state, and said with a half-smile, "Are you saying it's strange? "

At the end, his tone cooled down.

In his pointed eyes, Qin Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground.

"What is this for?"

The tone that was not cold turned to gentle again, and there was a slight smile on his lips. The last moment was stern, and the next moment was like a gentle drizzle.

He smiled and flipped through the memory left by the original body:

"Nine years ago, when I rescued you from the refugee pile, you swore that from now on, this life would belong to me, and only be loyal to me..."

"When I first entered the battlefield, I was careless for a while, and was almost killed by a secret arrow that was mixed into the camp. It was you who blocked it and saved my life..."

This is the most impressive thing in the original body's memory. At this time, the original body did not write it lightly, without any superfluous emotions. But it made the atmosphere in the study inexplicably quiet.

In his calm narration, Qin Mo lowered his head unconsciously, and most of his face fell into the shadows.

He knelt straight on the ground, silent. But the emotional ups and downs in the heart are far less calm than the surface.

It was not as if he didn't see it, he walked up to him.

"I said that then..."

"From now on, you will not be alone, nor will you be alone."

The change in title also seemed to imply a change in attitude. Qin Mo's shoulders heaved violently, and his body fell deeply to the ground.

"...It was I who owed His Highness."

It wasn't: "Oh."

"Let me guess, whether it was you who broke your promise and broke your oath..." He tilted his head slightly and analyzed himself, "Or, from the beginning to the end, you have never been loyal to me... The real master is another Anyone?"

Speaking of which, he looked at him inquisitively.

Qin Mo had always been expressionless, his mouth tightly closed like a clam shell. But when I heard this, I couldn't help but startled slightly, and my eyes fluctuated instantly.

"Oh, it looks like it's the latter."

Yuan Buwei's expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest, and he just continued to satisfy his curiosity: "So, most of the life-saving grace is fake."

Qin Mo remained silent.

It was not immediately obvious.

There is no need to ask any further questions.

Many times, the authorities are often confused and blinded. And once that leaf is uncovered, the truth is always unbearable.

And all these calculations may have been unfolded since Qin Mo came to the original body.

only…

"Nine years ago, I was just a little prince who fled south in a hurry. How can He De get so much attention?"

The original words seemed doubtful, but somehow, Qin Mo felt that he had seen through everything.

His attitude is calm, his tone seems to be commonplace, every word is flat, and there is even a smile on his lips, but it brings a lot of pressure to Qin Mo.

Just looking at the eyes of the Crown Prince, he always had a hunch that he would give in sooner or later.

Qin Mo could sense the shaking in his heart.

...No, I can't let His Royal Highness continue talking!

"Chong!"

A clear sound.

Qin Mo took off the jet-black knife on his waist and put it in front of him. At the same time, his forehead hit the ground heavily.

Blood dripped all over his face.

He didn't wipe it, just raised his head and looked at Yuan Buwei silently. In the sight blurred by blood, he saw only a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.

"It's me who has lost to His Highness, let His Highness handle it."

After repeating what he said before, Qin Mo immediately closed his mouth tightly. I was deeply afraid that I would accidentally say something that shouldn't be said in the eyes of His Royal Highness that seemed to see everything.

… the choice was made long ago. If he betrayed the prince first, and then betrayed that person because of a momentary sway, what is the significance of what he has done all these years?

His reaction was not unexpected at all.

The original Qi Xuan is not bad for Qin Mo. On the surface, he is a master and a servant, but in fact he is like a brother. After he ascended the throne, he even handed over the commander of the forbidden army to the other party. This is an important position that is directly responsible for the safety of the entire palace. If it is not absolutely trusted My confidant, why would you give it to him with confidence?

With such trust, and the feeling that he has followed for many years and lived and died together on the battlefield, if Qin Mo was willing, he could have chosen to rely on Qi Xuan completely and reveal the plan of the people behind the scenes - with Qi Xuan's generosity and the two of them Years of friendship will certainly forgive him.

If you are unwilling to betray the old master, you can first fulfill the loyalty of your subjects, and then fulfill the righteousness of your brothers. At least Bao Qi Xuan died.

But he was just silent, and at the critical moment of forcing the palace, he counterattacked and sent Qi Xuan into the most complete desperate situation.

This has proved his loyalty and sincerity.

— to another person, of course.

If the real Qi Xuan is here, I am afraid that I will be angry and angry, and I cannot restrain myself. Qin Mo's slaughtered attitude of being loyal and righteous will only make him even more angry. Perhaps because of this, the strange poison in the body will be triggered, and once again, it will be controlled by anger and do irreversible things.

- And this, has the person in front of you ever thought about it?

When Yuan did not abandon his detached perspective and brought himself into the role of Qi Xuan, only to find that the other party was surrounded by so many conspiracies and tricks, and his too pure heart could not bear these truths, no wonder Qi Xuanhui later became so suspicious and violent.

I'm afraid it's not just the cause of poisoning.

The library was quiet.

Only Qin Mo's rapid and tense breathing could be heard.

The youth's neat robes had become messy at this time, his forehead was bloody, and the pitch-black scimitar was placed in front of him.

It doesn't seem that I can draw the knife at any time, and then... kill him!

It wasn't because he didn't move, he just looked at him calmly.

This silent, cold, unsmiling face is the same as before, and it still looks so loyal and reliable. Yuan Buwei seemed to see another face full of insidious calculations behind the scenes from this face.

...Even if the original body, Qi Xuan, is talented and has extraordinary knowledge, how could he expect that someone would start planning early when he was the weakest and most embarrassed, secretly peeping and calculating against him?

"Crack, snap, snap."

It wasn't because he suddenly clapped his hands a few times.

"It is admirable to be brave and loyal." He had no anger, and the tone of admiration was entirely sincere.

This strange reaction surprised Qin Mo.

After being together for nine years, he asked himself that he knew the Crown Prince very well. The other party did have the heart and mind to cover the world. He was often able to see small things in many important matters, and his military talent was even more outstanding.

But no one is perfect, so he is not good at worldly human relationships.

To be precise, he spent too much energy on the battlefield, and behind him he had the emperor's unremitting support. No one's slander and slander ever made the emperor misunderstand him and affected him on the front line.

He was strictly protected by the emperor. Over time, he lost his sensitivity to understand people's hearts. There is a kind of purity that is rare in the royal family.

But today he made Qin Mo unable to see through.

Seeing this, he said indifferently: "Why, do you think that I will force you to ask who is behind it?"

Qin Mo suddenly raised his head in astonishment, his expression changed for the first time: "His Royal Highness?"

Yuan Buwei reached out and picked up the pitch-black machete, stroked the hilt with his palm, and suddenly pulled out the machete.

"Don't be nervous, I won't kill you. I don't want to dig out any secrets from your mouth. I'm just curious about one thing..."

The machete was slowly pulled out, and the momentary Xue Liang was extremely dazzling.

In the light of the knife, a smile on the man's indifferent face was fleeting. In Qin Mo's eyes, there was an unspeakable vileness.

In an instant, a bad premonition came to mind, and Qin Mo suddenly widened his eyes.

·

From Qin Mo, he tried to find the answer he wanted, which further verified Yuan Buwei's guess about the culprit behind the scenes, so he released System 999 again:

"I'm here, where did Qi Xuan's soul go?"

In the face of this ruthless man who throws and pulls X when he runs out, System 999 wants to refuse directly.

There is a saying in human beings, eating people is soft, but taking people is short. Asking people to do things has to show an attitude. However, this host is simply not human!

Before, I locked it in a small dark room without blinking, and released it when I needed to use it as a universal search engine.

After being cheated once, System 999 is not as stupid as before, and learned to bargain: [The host must agree first, and the system cannot be blocked after asking questions. 】

Originally: "...Huh?"

When System 999 saw the show, he immediately akimbo proudly said: [Not only this time, if the host wants to maintain a good relationship with the human system and get the most timely system services, you can no longer block this system in the future. 】

...Does the host think it is still the original simple system 999? No, after two rounds of tour of the little black house, it has become [Super Evolution · System 999]!

Originally: "That's fine."

There was no hesitation for a second. I didn't want to grab the conscious body bound to the soul, so I had to throw it into the small black room again. He'd rather find out for himself than endure a noisy system all the time.

[Wait wait I said! 】Seeing that he is about to enter the palace three times, System 999 is going crazy, 【This system does not know where Qi Xuan's soul went. 】

Yuan Buwei immediately became interested: "You don't know? Didn't you choose this identity?"

[It wasn't that the system took the initiative to choose him, it was he who took the initiative to give up his identity. 】

After System 999 was silent, he chose to tell the truth. This is a treatment that those hosts did not have in the past.

[This sea of ​​​​cosmos, the world of trillions of trillions, always has many mysterious and incomprehensible phenomena. Like the tides of the river of destiny. If every drop of water corresponds to a person, it is impossible for ordinary people to see the water droplets in the river of destiny in advance, but there are always some people who, because of some accidents, see the light and shadow refracted by the water droplets at a certain moment - that is, know in advance. Fragments of your own future destiny. Qi Xuan is probably such a person. 】

Yuan Buwei probably understood: "... Then, he chose to give up and leave directly?"

System 999 gave a positive answer: [Therefore, the host can take over his life. 】

[As for Qi Xuan's soul, it may have left this small world with the power of the tide of fate, or it may have directly plunged into reincarnation, which this system cannot detect. 】

"It seems that you are not completely useless."

It was not for a compliment.

...At this time, he doesn't seem to dislike the noise of System 999 anymore. Maybe even wish it said more.

...it's very real.

After being praised by him, System 999 was rarely excited: [That's right, this system knows a lot. 】

After that, System 999 responded.

—Isn’t this the way it trained those hosts in the past? If you do well, you will be encouraged; if you do not, you will be severely punished. Over time, the host will naturally become obedient.

Originally the same routine, it was going to be used on Yuan Buwei, but who knew it would be locked in a small dark room.

Now... is it being reversed by the host?

Before System 999 could fully understand it, Yuan Buwei said, "Keep going, I won't block you this time."

Anyway, give it a little sweetness, and the system will answer questions more actively next time.

System 999:…

...It really is a routine, a real hammer.

I really want to be tough and take the initiative to close the host's little black house, but it can't control its curiosity: [Host, what are you asking about Qi Xuan's whereabouts? Do you still want to return the ownership of this body to him? 】

"No, just make sure." Yuan Buwei pondered, "Does this body allow me to do whatever I want..."

The author has something to say:

The logic of System 999 (forcible?):

The host blocked it unilaterally = the host cut off contact with it = it also blocked the host

The host closes its small dark room = one person is separated from it = it also closes the host’s small dark room

Therefore, to take the initiative to close the host's small black room is to resolutely resist to the end, let the host block it, and throw it into the small black room 233333.
