The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me
Chapter 144 Grasshopper on a rope
When Qi Heng woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. He looked around vigilantly. It was a dilapidated small room, which, if he guessed correctly, should be the woodshed.
He clearly remembered that he was caught by the palace guards and was about to be executed the next second, but suddenly he saw a man in black falling from the sky and throwing a smoke bomb, and he didn't remember what happened after that.
So, it was this man in black who saved him? He couldn't wait to find out who this man in black was.
Soon, the answer Qi Heng wanted came.
"Hey, General Qi, are you awake?" Facing the dazzling sunlight, Qi Heng couldn't see the person standing at the door, but he was very familiar with this person's voice.
"Mu Zhou? It's you!" Qi Heng said in disbelief.
"It was me who saved you. Shouldn't you kowtow twice to express your gratitude to your benefactor?" Mu Zhou crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked down at him condescendingly.
Although Qi Heng was injured, his dignity and face made him stand straight, even though he was in so much pain that he was sweating all over.
"Mu Zhou, don't push your luck! If it weren't for the thousand-year-old ginseng I gave you, you would have died a long time ago! In the end, you saved me, and I saved you, so we're even now!"
"Hey, that's not the way I said it. First of all, you saved me, and my cousin, Xu Bingxia, has already repaid your favor by agreeing to marry you as a concubine. But you weren't destined to do that. You were caught by those people before you even got married. You can't blame us for that! Secondly, stop talking about me as a general all the time. Do you dare to go down the mountain now? There's a wanted warrant for you every two steps you take. The emperor has now ordered a nationwide arrest warrant for you. Do you know what the charge is? Treason and collaborating with the enemy! This charge, tut tut tut! It's enough to execute all nine generations of your clan!"
Qi Heng's eyes widened again: "Impossible! I absolutely did not commit treason or collude with the enemy! This is pure slander!"
"Tsk~ You say it is slander, so it is slander? The emperor has determined that you are a rebel and collaborator with the enemy. So, even if you have a hundred mouths, it will be useless! If you are not giving up and want to appeal to the emperor, you can just go down the mountain and try to see the emperor." Mu Zhou attacked Qi Heng, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Qi Heng psychologically.
Qi Heng lost all his momentum and looked dejected.
"Why did you save me?"
"Don't you think about how many bad things you have done in order to torture you better?" Mu Zhou looked at him with disdain: "How can we watch you die so easily?"
"In that case, you can kill me or cut me up as you like!" Qi Heng seemed to have lost his soul.
"Don't worry about that. We will definitely not kill you now. It's better to keep you alive than to kill you! This depends on you!" Mu Zhou sneered: "By the way, let me introduce you. This is the Xuantian Gang. You will live here in the future! If you want to go down the mountain, I promise no one will stop you. But when you go down the mountain and get caught, don't expect me to save you a second time."
Qi Heng suddenly burst into laughter: "This is ridiculous, extremely ridiculous! God, you really like to play tricks on me! Hahahaha! This is ridiculous!"
"There's something even more ridiculous. Chief Du, let him see what is the most ridiculous!" Mu Zhou shouted towards the door. Du Ran appeared in front of Qi Heng. Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"You are... you are actually Du Ran? No... Du Ran is obviously dead. The emperor said that you and the queen were burned to death together. It is absolutely impossible. You just look alike! This must be the case!" Qi Heng talked to himself.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm the real Du Ran! Didn't expect that the emperor also wanted to burn me to death, but I managed to escape, just like you yesterday. If it was any later, I would have really turned into a ghost!" Du Ran stuck out his tongue and smiled: "Now you know, this old emperor can kill anyone he wants, no matter who you are, whether you are a prince or a general, as long as he thinks you are no good, you have to die! If he accuses you of a crime, your whole family will be gone!"
"So..." Qi Heng said tremblingly: "The emperor has disliked me for a long time, and wants to kill me?"
"Is there any need to think about it? It's true that you cheated on the prince, right? Everyone knows who the prince is. He is the emperor's younger brother. Aren't you indirectly ruining the emperor's reputation? It's like this, don't you think about whether the emperor can still keep you? The most important thing is that you hold the military power and you deliberately embarrass him. He will definitely strip you of your military power! Don't even think about it! Just wait and see. At the latest tomorrow, your title of general will be replaced." Du Ran said seriously.
Qi Heng finally understood that he was in control of the army and had touched the emperor's cake. If he didn't die, who would die? But he was unwilling to accept it. He had worked diligently for so many years, fought in the battlefield countless times, and escaped death countless times. It seemed that he was too proud and made the emperor afraid. He blamed himself! He blamed himself for believing in his own merits too much, and blamed himself for thinking that everything was fine because of his merits!
"I might as well tell you one more thing. The emperor has found out about my fake death, and he's very angry and is trying to catch me! I had no choice but to come to the mountain and set up the Xuantian Gang to protect myself. Otherwise, I would have died long ago! I am unwilling to die. Why should I die?" Du Ran lied a little, just a white lie. Anyway, this emperor was really not a good person, and she was just doing his job!
"The emperor wants to kill you too?" Qi Heng was shocked again: "Why would the emperor kill you? You treated him..."
"There is a threat! Did the emperor send you to Yuecheng to assign you a mission? Are you opposing us everywhere just for the legendary secret left by the late emperor in the palace that can turn the world around?" Du Ran said indifferently.
Qi Heng remained silent again, indicating his agreement.
"But you definitely didn't find it, right? You turned the palace upside down and still couldn't find it, right?" Du Ran said with certainty: "Because I know the secret, the emperor wants to kill me! He is afraid that once the secret comes out, he will no longer be able to be the emperor! He is afraid of me, so he wants to kill me."
"What secret?" Qi Heng was also somewhat interested. After all, the emperor attached great importance to this secret. Although he had searched the prince's mansion and found no useful information, the emperor still did not let him return to the imperial capital and asked him to guard the mansion strictly and arrest any suspicious person who entered the mansion.
"This... I can't tell you yet, you'll know when the time comes!" Du Ran said mysteriously: "After all, the fewer people who know, the better. Whoever knows, the emperor will kill!"
This is true.
After saying this, Du Ran had already made Qi Heng a grasshopper on the same rope as himself.
