Second minister and thief

"If you're only missing that memory, so can they."

"You mean..." Xiao Cen slowly widened his eyes, and said in disbelief, "So it's still a drug. This drug can not only make people stunned, but also make people confused. Your subordinates... It's not that I didn't see the murderer, it's just that...don't remember?"

"Yeah. Cough..." Chu Linqiu raised his eyes and glanced at him.For some reason, Xiao Cen could see a trace of grievance in the wave of his eyes. This terrible realization made the hairs stand on his back instantly, making him unable to say the next words at all.

"Master Hou, now I can tell you... the truth about Ling Zu's death..."

"Go to sleep first, and talk about it when you feel better." Seeing that Chu Linqiu was so weak that he was about to break a sentence into three paragraphs, Xiao Cen couldn't help feeling a little pain in his heart.

"Master Hou! If you don't say anything today, I'm afraid someone will take advantage of you in the future..." No one would have thought that Chu Linqiu would suddenly get angry, put his head on Xiao Cen's shoulder, and said such a sentence with sharp eyes .It's just that he was exhausted after all, not long after, his voice was as big as a mosquito humming, not only that, but he fell back into Xiao Cen's arms completely, and was picked up by the unsuspecting Marquis Dingnan. with.

"Okay, tell me." Xiao Cen really had nothing to do with this man, so he sat up on top, took the initiative to hug him, and was careful not to touch his wound.At this time, Chu Linqiu's clothes were half off, revealing a large snow-white chest.Xiao Cen glanced at it inadvertently, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and there seemed to be an evil fire rushing up in his lower abdomen.

"You...are you still in pain? Mr. Liu will be here soon...bear it."

"Hmm. Lord Hou, your voice is also very strange. Do you want Mr...."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Cen exclaimed as if his tail had been stepped on, "I'm fine!" Finally, as if worried about scaring the person in his arms, Xiao Cen hastily softly comforted, "Don't worry, Ben Hou was just tired for a while. But you, this face is really too ugly."

"Speak, Benhou, listen." In fact, Xiao Cen was far from being as calm as he appeared on the surface, and he was very disturbed in his heart, for fear that what Chu Linqiu said next would be unbearable for him.He hasn't figured it out yet, if Chu Linqiu is really involved in this matter, then how...how should he treat it?How should I deal with myself?

"Chu Jiushang, you should know that this Marquis is willing to sit here and listen to you, because he obeys his heart and doesn't want to doubt you. But if you have half a lie, then Benhou will lead the Mobei Army Stepping down the threshold of your Chu Mansion! Locking you alive in a dark room, torturing you every day, and humiliating you every night, let me see how long you can last, you sick bastard." Xiao Cen's cruel words made his ears Quietly stained with a layer of crimson.

Chu Linqiu heard it and found it interesting, but he didn't laugh out loud, but said solemnly following the man's words, "Don't worry, Lord Hou. Chu can swear to God, if there is even half a lie ..."

"Then there is no need!"

"...Thank you. Lord Hou treats me sincerely regardless of previous suspicions. Although Chu thinks...he is not a good person, he will definitely...repay him with Li."

After Chu Linqiu tried his best to finish saying this, he became more and more dazed and drowsy. He couldn't even sit still leaning against Xiao Cen, and he was about to fall down crookedly.Seeing this, Xiao Cen couldn't help heaving a long sigh, he simply supported his back and put it down on his lap, listening to him intermittently narrate the past that should have been buried in dust.

In the first year of Fengshuo, the emperor first came to Datong, and the Daqi Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles.At that time, the Nanrong army raised its troops to the north, and it was like a broken bamboo. They broke through twelve cities in a row, and they were about to attack the imperial city, threatening the precarious century-old foundation.At this time of crisis, Old General Xiao took the initiative to invite Ying, led three thousand cavalry to drive straight in, and beheaded Tianhong Zhide, a famous Nanrong general, among tens of thousands of troops.After this battle, their prestige was established. The Xiao family, who could only be regarded as outsiders, became the object of friendship overnight among Tao Capital's powerful and powerful.

Today, in just over ten years, there has been a prince, three princes, and a Zhaoxun empress.There is even a nursery rhyme among the folks, "The Xiao family and the Xiao family originated from the disaster of war. As soon as the cavalry came out, the children stopped crying. A family of three nobles, the honor and favor are supreme."

But is such a position really indestructible?

Xiao Cen also understood in his heart that the smartest way is to retreat bravely, take the initiative to surrender military power, and be a wealthy idler, just like his father.But will you really be willing?What's more, as long as the Mobei cavalry is with him, the emperor will not dare to act rashly.

No no no, will it be so?Looking at what happened to grandfather, one should know how crazy Emperor Jingyuan was.

"Hiss..." Chu Linqiu felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if someone was pulling him in the opposite direction. He frowned and opened his eyes to see, but was caught off guard by Xiao Cen's silky eyes. Hateful eyes.

He was startled, and was about to get up to regain his sanity when Xiao Cen asked, "Just because he can't sleep at night, he wants to kill my grandfather? With such a self-destructive act, he is not afraid of revenge on his descendants in the future." On him?!"

"Hou Ye!!!" Chu Linqiu was shocked, jumped up in a hurry, sealed his mouth that was constantly opening and closing with his lips, and tightly hugged his shoulders with both hands.Due to the swift action, the wound on his left forearm oozes out more blood without accident.

"Master Hou, calm down. Although in the Hou Mansion, the servants are all confidantes, but people's hearts are easy to change, and you don't know when you will betray you as a master." Chu Linqiu's words clearly meant something, and he reminded Xiao Cen also euphemistically stated that the assassination of General Xiao was done by "his own people".

"Who is he?"

"..."

"Tell me, who... is he?!" Xiao Cen growled with red eyes.

"he died."

"...how did you die?"

"When he decided to betray the Lord, he could have foreseen his current fate. The saint will not let him live to see the dawn of tomorrow."

"Heh... saint..." Xiao Cen raised the corners of his mouth, and slowly pulled out an extremely ugly smile, "The ancients said that a saint with all talents and virtues. I didn't see that Where did he touch it?"

Such remarks are already very rebellious. If they are heard and spread by interested people, I am afraid it will not be as simple as punishing them immediately.

Seeing this man so lost in spirit, Chu Linqiu felt quite uncomfortable. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand to hold Xiao Cen's wrist, and said to him word by word, "Master Hou, the word forbearance hides the sword in your heart!" .”
