Thousands of Mountains

Yin Cen drank a lot of wine, from his rebirth to now, he has only been very drunk twice.

Last time at the Pingjing school grounds, he violated Shen Cang's rules and passed out drunk in the valley. When he returned home, he saw the town of Chaha that had been slaughtered.

Since then, he has never been drunk again, and whenever he drinks, he thinks of the guilt and self-blame that pierced his heart.

Now, seeing Yin Cistan closing his eyes in his arms, he felt that there was a huge hole in his heart, and no amount of food could numb it, nor could it fill it.

Chen Ji had never seen Yin Cen like this before. When he found Yin Cen, he was alone in the wasteland on the edge of Zhenbeiying, drinking like a corpse without saying a word.

Chen Ji stepped forward and snatched the jug, "You are still injured!"

Yin Cen was powerless to resist, and sat slumped on the ground, covering his face, tears streaming from between his fingers.Chen Ji squatted in front of him, folded his hands, and gently stroked his hands, his tears, and his face.

After a long time, Yin Cen let go of his hand, his eyes were as red as blood, he turned his head to look at Chen Ji, his voice was like a handful of dead grass, and he said slowly, "When I first saw you, I thought I saw Cistan , I couldn't protect her, so I thought in my heart that I must protect you."

Chen Ji got closer, and hugged Yin Cen into his arms, "You protect me, the incense of Han Wangyan is scattered, ride the horse on the shooting ground for me, return to the water swing of Yunhu Lake, kill Yuanyuan Mountain, and Entering the court for me, and coming to this dangerous place to investigate cases...it's all because of me." Chen Ji held Yin Cen's face in his hands, and he was also very sad because of the past events, he was afraid that Yin Cen would lose all hope because of this, so he repeated it Said all over, "Pingshan, I need you, in the whole world, I only want you."

Yin Cun's tears came more fiercely. Yin Cun's death made him realize clearly that he is not a superman, not everything he wants to protect, and he can protect it. If one day it is Chen Ji lying in his arms, What should he do?

Tonight Chen Ji was extremely gentle, he used back everything that Yin Cen had used on him in the past, hugged Yin Cen and patted him on the back gently, "Ping Shan, Ping Shan, don't be sad, there is me, and me."

He kissed Yin Cen's face and swallowed the tears one by one.

Seeing his beloved being hurt and suffering so much, Chen Ji seemed to have grown up overnight, and the character of a child in front of Yin Cen in the past seemed to have disappeared overnight. He vaguely felt some responsibility, and in his arms This extremely painful person is his responsibility. He must treat this person well and give everything he has, just like this person treats himself.

It wasn't until midnight that Chen Ji carried Yin Cen, who was completely drunk to death, back to the camp tent. He estimated that Qin Nianqin and Luo Qingshan would arrive soon, and after meeting here, they would go on the road together, heading east all the way back to the capital.

At this time, it had been more than five months since he left Beijing that day. As for how to deal with the real truth that he learned from Yin Cun and Lin Moyan, Chen Ji thought that he would wait for Yin Cen's spirit to recover before discussing it separately.

The world is dangerous, but the truth is a sharp weapon, which can kill others as well as oneself.

------

At noon the next day, Qin Nianqin and Luo Qingshan arrived at Zhenbei Camp. Yin Cen woke up with a splitting headache, and the pain in his chest was still unbearable. He sat quietly and mobilized his internal energy to adjust his breath. , but found that the smooth inner breath in the past seemed to be shaken out of a cliff at this moment. No matter how he adjusted it, he felt depressed in his heart. He didn't know how to deal with this situation. Cang.

But he didn't want Chen Ji to worry, so he forced himself to greet Qin Nianqin and Luo Qingshan with a calm demeanor. Seeing this, Chen Ji relaxed, thinking that the most difficult time had passed.

Qin Nianqin didn't know what happened to Shule Barracks and Yin Cistan later. After Chen Ji briefly explained it on his behalf, Qin Nianqin was silent for a long while, and then sighed, "It turned out that the disaster came from within."

Chen Ji frowned and bowed his head in silence. Seeing this, Yin Cen quilted to Qin Nian, "The catastrophe caused by one person's mistake can still be cured."

Qin Nianqin sneered, "The queen is certainly wrong, but if she is not the queen and has no power in her hands, how can she do whatever she wants? Even if she is the queen, even if she cheats and sows discord, is she alone at fault? The queen's fault stems from the emperor's inaction!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ji suddenly raised his head. He didn't know what he was feeling at the moment. Of course he hated the queen, and all the culprits were caused by her. However... Qin Nianqin's "rebellious" remarks at this time made him Can't refute.

Qin Nianqin continued, "The officials always say when impeaching, that they deceived the Holy Majesty, but I don't like this rhetoric. The treacherous ministers will certainly deceive the Holy Majesty, but the Holy Majesty can be easily deceived, which means that he is not a wise king, and his eyes are not clear. Unclear ears naturally gave treacherous ministers an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Yin Cen was also silent, he naturally knew where the root of everything was, but the difference between him and Qin Nianqin was that he had seen a world without the emperor, relying on one person, even if this person was For the emperor to solve all the problems in this world by hoping that he will be a sage, a wise king, and a fairy descended from the mortal world, it is really, too idealistic.

But now Yin Cen did not object to Qin Nianqin, they lived in this era, so they had to act according to the rules of this era, even Yin Cen himself had to follow the rules.

At this time, Lin Moyan also finished patrolling and returned to the camp. Everyone was present, and Yin Cen began to discuss with everyone how to deal with the "truth" they had obtained this time.

The same truth is related to the tea tax case, and even the Kansai massacre that shocked the government and the public earlier. This must be handled with caution.

Yin Cen first asked Lin Moyan what he meant, and Lin Moyan said calmly, "This matter involves a lot, and they are all high-ranking and powerful people who are trusted by the emperor. If we can't produce enough evidence, and in countless rounds of trials If you win, you will die without a place to die, how are our chances of winning now?"

Yin Cen was silent. He also knew that if he missed the first hit, he would have no chance. In the case of tea tax, there was an account book for the sale of stolen goods, but the name of the queen was hidden. "With the inside story, there is no real evidence that can be presented, which is not conducive to their rash impeachment.

At this time, Chen Ji said, "It's about the father and the queen. I'm not qualified to say more here, but since I entered Yunnan, I have witnessed the corruption of the current government step by step. Master Qin is right, everything is right. Because of my father's inaction, but to change this situation, it is useless to rely on a three-inch tongue and a lonesome courage. It will only allow treacherous officials to take the opportunity to eradicate more dissidents. I hope that the iron evidence we have is enough If they hit it with one hit, they have no chance of refuting it, so they have a chance to win."

Yin Cen looked at him, "It's consistent with what I think, the time for impeachment has not yet come, and we still need to be patient."

Qin Nianqin asked Yin Cen, "Lord Yin, after finding out so many inside stories, after returning to Beijing, even if you hold back, will the other party secretly harm you?

Yin Cen shook his head, "Ye Mingzhi handed over the remaining account books to me, and he will not inform the queen in time in the future, but now that he is dead, the whereabouts of the account books has become an unsolved case. I'm here, but she's not sure, so she won't attack me easily, and in the Kansai case, she won't know that we already know all the facts, so don't worry."

Both Qin Nianqin and Chen Ji nodded, and Chen Ji said to Qin Nianqin, "If the queen really does something unfavorable, I'm still in Beijing."

These words reminded Yin Cen, he said to Qin Nianqin, "This time you and Master Luo will come to Beijing with us, and with the merits of the tea tax case, I will formally recommend you to be an official in the court."

Qin Nianqin's face hesitated for a moment, and Wu Ye'er was shocked when he saw it, "Why are you still hesitating? Don't you want to go to the capital and stay with me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Qin Nianqin laughed, Mr. Qin was very embarrassed... How can I make this kid talk properly in different occasions...

He replied to Yin Cen, "Thank you Lord Yin for the recommendation, but I'm such a clumsy person, I don't know if I will die quickly if I become a Beijing official..."

Yin Cen smiled faintly, and said, "Master Qin is not ignorant of worldly sophistication, but he is just too lazy to do it. He fought wits and bravery with the higher-level government in the border of Yunnan. Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't use his talents in court? "

Qin Nianqin also laughed when he heard the words. He actually thought about it very much. He didn't feel any discouragement when he was dispatched to this wild place. Now that he has the opportunity to return to Beijing, he might as well... give it a try.

So he nodded at Yin Cen, and when he turned around, he saw Wu Ye'er grinning grinningly.

Luo Qingshan was a little at a loss, why, do I have to go to the capital too?I have no fame and cannot be an official, so what should I do?

After talking about Qin Nianqin, Yin Cen said to Luo Qingshan, "Master doesn't need to be an official, I have other arrangements, you are satisfied."

Fatty Luo raised his head, his face trembling.

Yin Cen continued, "In addition to the tea business on the border, Ye Mingzhi also has a large number of businesses in Beijing. Now that he is dead, these businesses have become ownerless property. I want you to take over those businesses and secretly let the people who own them Knowing that he died in my hands, now everything is under your control," Yin Chen looked at Luo Qingshan with a smile, "You are allowed to do this business, what do you think?

Luo Qingshan laughed so that his eyebrows flew wildly, and his eyebrows were huddled together, "Very good, very good!"

Qin Nianqin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kicked him, "It's for you to take care of it, not for you to swallow it, you know? The monthly book profits should be clearer."

Luo Qingshan hid and said, "Of course I know! I took care of Mr. Yin, and all the profits I got belonged to Mr. Qin Zhixian, I have settled the debt for you for so long anyway, how can you pay it back? Think I'm stupid..."

Chen Ji also couldn't laugh or cry, Brother Pingshan is really powerful, he took his life and took his property, tsk tsk tsk.

Yin Cen looked at Chen Ji, knowing what he thought in his heart, and thought, what do I want the money for? Isn’t it all prepared for you, the poorest prince in history? Well, once and for all, don't thank me yet.

Thinking of this, Yin Cen couldn't help but give him a blank look.

Chen Ji: ...

Hell, I can't even secretly hurt my heart...

After discussing everything, they were about to leave for Beijing. Yin Cen had already set off in advance with the secret guard to report.

Saying goodbye to General Lin Moyan, when Yin Cen had never met the general before, he had an inexplicable trust in him, because Shen Cang said when he was in Chaha Town when he was a child, "The peace in Kansai today is due to the guarding of General Lin Moyan." ", and then in the capital, the general with white hair on his temples was ordered to recover Kansai. What Yin Cen saw that time, he had the feeling of treating him as a father, and this time, Lin Moyan greeted him in Liangzhou. He even saved his life, Yin Cen was speechless, knowing that after this experience, the two of them had formed a bond like an alliance.

Finally set off. When I came, I knew that the future was dangerous, but I came here bravely and bravely. Now that the return journey is imminent, I also expected that a treacherous scene is waiting in front of me. You can't break the world's heart to rebuild a new order.
