Second minister and thief

"It's natural." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Cen knew what Chu Linqiu said. He lowered his head and lightly rubbed Chu Linqiu's neck, and said in a normal tone, "It's been arranged. It won't take a while." , that person will be killed immediately in Feilingwei's public office. At that time, we may bite back, wouldn't it be fun?"

"..."

"Jiu Shang, the few pages you asked me to find are of great use, this time they are of great help. It's just...you buried you everywhere and even in the palace... secretly Zhuang, if you know it, you are not afraid that one day, I will point the tip of the knife at you?"

"Will Lord Hou know?" Chu Linqiu asked without hesitation, with a very calm tone, and even smiled silently in a place where Xiao Cen could not see.

"Of course not." Xiao Cen unconsciously tightened his arms around Chu Linqiu even more, "Master Chu told me earlier that if you throw a peach, you will return it with a plum, so... The way of a gentleman. Right now, I will return the words to you as they are."

"..."

"Lord Chu, no matter what the Xiao Clan and the Mobei Army will face in the future, Benhou... I will thank you."

"What about Lord Hou?"

"Ok?"

"Hou Ye mentioned the Xiao family and the Mobei army, but he didn't mention himself. Why?"

"Can you still not know about this?" Xiao Cen probably tilted his head to one side, leaned into his ear and gently parted his lips and said, "Since my heart belongs to you, in the future you and I will be... We share honor and disgrace, and life and death are the same. Therefore, what does it matter if you say it or not? But Lord Chu, how do you plan to respond to this sincerity of this Marquis?"

"My Lord, you..."

"Don't talk." Xiao Cen suddenly stretched out a finger, and lightly touched Chu Linqiu's soft lips, preventing him from saying the next words, "I already know what you are thinking."

"But Benhou has one more thing to say - Jiushang, you are very good and deserve to be treated like this."

"..."

It was not the first time for Chu Linqiu to see Xiao Cen expressing love to him so bluntly, but he still felt his heart beating like a drum and dizzy, as if he was about to have an attack. He couldn't help stretching out his hand to clamp Xiao Cen's wrist, An extremely weak and tired voice asked, "Master Hou really recognizes his true heart, a hundred deaths...do you not regret it?"

"Ben Hou recognizes his true heart, and he will never regret it!" Xiao Cen quickly finished this sentence, then took Chu Linqiu's hand and put it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Jiu Shang, just look at Chu Linqiu. Well, the heart of this Marquis, the world can learn from it, and I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances in the future."

"..." After hearing this, Chu Linqiu said nothing for a long time. He let himself fall into Xiao Cen's arms, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. To be honest, Xiao Cen's answer was not the promise he really wanted, and this His stubbornness and sincerity made him flinch even more.

"Jiu Shang, you don't need to respond immediately, wait until the next year's spring sacrifice, and then..."

"it is good."

"You, what did you say?"

"Okay." Chu Linqiu closed his eyes abruptly, and when he opened them again, it was clear, "Master Chu has taken advantage of Chu these days, Chu...cough cough... .Aside from being obedient, is there any...other way?"

"You... are you really?! Benhou, Benhou heard it right? Ha! Jiushang, I..." Xiao Cen was so excited that he could not speak coherently, as if he was swallowing the sugar glutinous rice cake He unconsciously shrunk his arms tighter and tighter, declaring his sovereignty, so that Chu Linqiu gradually felt a little stuffy in his chest.

But he didn't let Xiao Cen notice, but carried it silently.Although Chu Linqiu said teasing words, his eyes were full of desolation.

Just as the two were affectionately in the room, the emperor's Zhishu hall was full of swords and swords.The leader of the Feiling Guard, Zhong Dushi, knelt in front of the imperial case and kept trembling. He buried his head deeply between his arms and did not dare to move at all. Beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping on the ground.

And above him, the emperor sat on the throne, his lips were tightly pressed, and his expression was difficult to distinguish.

"Zhong Qing, is this the evidence you presented?"

"Report to Your Majesty! I, I don't know how this evidence turned into this thing... What I presented, it's clearly a seal! It's..."

"Bold!!! Zhong Dushi, I am so disappointed in you! You said that Xuanwuwei's progress was too slow, which made people in the capital panic, and you have strange people under your command, and you can solve the case within two days. In the end, you are like that Have you betrayed my trust in you?!"

"Your Majesty! I have been wronged! I..."

"Strictly speaking, I passed on my oral order. Zhong Yupeng deceived the emperor, lost his dignity in front of the emperor, framed his colleagues, and insulted Zhongliang. He dismissed him from the post of commander of Feiling Guard and relegated him to be the chief of Jinghe. Return to Beijing."

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty! Your ministers have wronged you...Your Majesty!!! It's Chu...it must be him...he's the one who cheated... Please investigate strictly, Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty..." Unfortunately, when Zhong Dushi yelled out the last few words, he was dragged to the corridor outside the door by two Huang Menlang, and he was never seen again. Opportunity to shed light on grievances.

For the sake of the Zhong family, the Son of Heaven did not impose too severe a punishment, but even so, the harsh weather in the Jinghe area was enough to make him miserable for a lifetime.

Zhong Dushi never understood until his death, where exactly did he lose?And in times of crisis, why didn't those two people who he regarded as gods show up for a moment?When he wanted to reveal the secret again, he found that his voice had been hoarse from the poison.

"You mean...the breakthrough point is on the surname Zhong? That's right, how can it be enough just to have a hoarse voice? You have to make him unable to write anymore. Although this time Zhong is making a big mistake It's all up to me, but I feel...somewhat uncomfortable. If the third uncle finally...then I, then I..."

"Master Hou, no matter how difficult the road is, I chose it myself. Even if the mountains ahead are blocked by heavy snow, I still have to go on bravely. Just like now, I have no regrets." After finishing speaking, Chu Linqiu stopped what he was doing. , a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Xiao Cen restlessly trying to twist Baizi's hand.

"Don't play anymore." Seeing that he was seen through, Xiao Cen simply overturned the chessboard, causing the black and white chess pieces on it to scatter all over the ground in an instant, "Master Chu, if you let this rough man like Benhou accompany you to do such elegant things, you won't do it at all." Do you find it difficult to be strong?"

"Then what does Lord Hou want to do?"

"It's a pity that you are still ill, otherwise... Benhou would like to make gestures with you." Ever since he heard about Chu Linqiu's past from Uncle Ning, Xiao Cen has been bringing the topic here all day long. Trying to let him know that there has never been a moment of indifference in his heart.
