Yuchi Lianghong also went to report errands to Zhongli Kuang every now and then. Hearing what Qiu Yizhi said, he felt a little strange and couldn't help but feel nervous. He quickly said: "It's useless for us to talk more. Let's go in and take a look." After that, He jumped up to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qiu Yizhi did not dare to delay, so he quickly followed up and pushed open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his own hands. Just as he was about to look inside, he saw a spear on the left and right, stabbing towards his sides, about to kill him completely. pierce.
Yuchi Lianghong saw the opportunity and quickly pulled Qiu Yizhi back half a step. He immediately released his hands, grabbed the two spears tightly, and then used his internal strength to send and pull the spears outward. How could the two soldiers who originally held the spears resist such superb martial arts? Their hands were overwhelmed, and the two spears had already been seized by Yuchi Lianghong.
Qiu Yizhi broke out in a cold sweat. She was lucky to have such a martial arts master guarding her. She quickly calmed down and looked at the two soldiers who were intent on committing murder. I saw that the clothes they were wearing all looked like northwest sergeants, and they hurriedly asked: "Who sent you all? What are you doing here at the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The two soldiers were frightened out of their wits and couldn't tell what to say.
However, from their northwest accents, Qiu Yizhi had already guessed what was going on and hurriedly said to Yuchi Lianghong: "Brother, things are not going well. Zheng Xin has sent people over. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Master Zhongli. Let's hurry up." Come into the house!"
Yuchi Lianghong quickly nodded in agreement, then pointed at the two soldiers lying on the ground and asked, "What about these two people?"
Qiu Yi wanted to see Zhongli Kuang, so she replied casually: "These two are in the way, so just kill them." After that, she walked quickly towards the depths of the temporary prime minister's house.
Yuchi Lianghong was afraid that there was still danger in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he thrust two spears into the chests of the two soldiers and followed them quickly.
Things are developing in the direction that Qiu Yizhi least wants to see. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been occupied by people from the northwest. The guards, clerks, and doormen he was familiar with have all disappeared, and the only ones left are those who come up for questioning from time to time. of Northwest Sgt.
Qiu Yizhi became more and more sure that Zheng Xin had taken action against his master Zhongli Kuang, and he felt cruel in his heart. No matter how kind-hearted the strangers in the Prime Minister's Mansion were, as long as they spoke with a northwest accent, they would call Yuchi Lianghong and Yuchi Jiming to kill them. die.
The two fathers and daughters of the Yuchi family were also furious, but over time, they each took seventeen or eighteen lives in their hands.
The temporary residence of Prime Minister Zhongli Kuang was borrowed from a courtyard of the former Jiangnan Dafu Yamen. Qiu Yizhi had been here several times and was very familiar with the terrain. Under the guard of Yuchi and his daughter, he walked from the door to the inner hall where his master worked and met people. When he looked up, he saw a group of about ten sergeants standing at the door of the inner hall. They all looked like the Northwest Army. With a serious and alert look on his face, it was expected that Zhongli Kuang must still be in the inner hall.
Qiu Yizhi was nervous and happy at the same time - the nervous thing was that Zhongli Kuang had been controlled by the people sent by Zheng Xin, but the happy thing was that he had not been escorted to a confidential place for custody after all, and was still within the scope of his rescue. Inside.
So Qiu Yizhi did not hesitate and immediately ordered Yuchi Lianghong and his daughter: "Quickly, kill the group of watchdogs coming from the northwest in front of you. Do it quietly and don't disturb the people in the house."
After receiving the order, Yuchi Lianghong and his daughter immediately moved forward, each made a half circle to the left and right, and moved to the side and rear of the group of soldiers. Then they took out unknown hidden weapons from their arms, and each of them fired at the group of soldiers. The soldiers threw away the vital points.
The Yuchi father and his daughter's hidden weapon skills were indeed accurate and ruthless. The team of northwest people were unprepared and were killed in the blink of an eye. Yuchi Lianghong was experienced in martial arts, so he was still uneasy. He stepped forward to confirm again and saw that they were indeed dead. Then he looked at Qiu Yizhi and nodded at him.
Qiu Yizhi saw it and knew that there was no danger. He immediately stepped forward and kicked open the closed door of the inner hall. However, he saw that there was no one in the room. Only Zhongli Kuang was sitting feebly among the teachings in the hall, with his limbs drooped. When he came down, he seemed to be dead.
Qiu Yizhi was extremely anxious, and quickly stepped forward to support Zhongli Kuang, calling anxiously: "Master! Master! Master!"
Zhongli Kuang woke up after being called out so loudly by him. He opened his eyes slightly and moved his lips: "Yizhi, you are here. Zheng Xin rebelled..."
Seeing that the master was still breathing, Qiu Yizhi retracted the tears that were about to fall, and said with a smile: "Master, I know everything, I know everything. How to suppress the rebellion now depends entirely on the master's control."
Zhongli Kuang shrugged his shoulders, as if he wanted to lift his arm. However, he was exhausted. After trying twice without success, he finally gave up and said, "Master, it didn't work. Zheng Xin came here just now and gave me I have two things, one is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I used to write the emperor's abdication edict, and the other is poisonous wine..."
As he spoke, Zhongli Kuang burped in great pain, and what came out of his intestines was an extremely foul smell.
After hearing these words and smelling this smell, Qiu Yizhi was already in a state of confusion, and his whole body was trembling involuntarily. He hurriedly comforted Zhongli Kuang and said: "Master, please don't speak. The most important thing is to stabilize your vitality. In the world, As soon as there is poison, there is an antidote. If you take the poison for a short time, you will definitely be able to turn the danger into safety. In the future..."
Before Qiu Yi finished speaking, Zhongli Kuang's body was suddenly filled with strength from nowhere, and he suddenly jumped up from his seat. He stretched out a dry and thin hand and grabbed Qiu Yizhi's shirt tightly. , roared: "Yizhi, you are the only one who can deal with Zheng Xin now! Lin Shuhan, Zhao Chengxiao, Yuchi Lianghong, Yuchi Jiming, Li Shengjie and others under you are all people who can be reused; Prince Heluo may not want to speak for a while. , but my heart is towards you; Dai Luanxiang will arrive at Jiangnan soon. You have a life-long friendship with him, and you can rely on him. All etiquette, authority, and titles are all empty. He has control over Jinling, Jiangnan, and Jiangnan. Even the military power in the world is the most important. Only in this way can Zheng Xin be killed. Do you understand
Qiu Yi's general Zhongli Kuang heard every word clearly, and he replied hurriedly: "Student understands, student understands, student understands..." At the end of the sentence, he started sobbing.
After hearing this, Zhongli Kuang was very pleased and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. Don't worry about me, just go and do things."
After saying these last words, Prime Minister Zhongli, who had worked hard for half his life, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, slumped down weakly, his eyes were slightly closed, but with a smile on his face - he finally passed away.
Qiu Yizhi suddenly felt that Zhongli Kuang's skinny body in his arms was so light and yet so heavy. Thinking of the teachings he had taught her since childhood, she finally couldn't control her emotions anymore and said "Wow" Crying out in pain, he repeated the call "Master! Master! Master!"
Everyone knew about the relationship between Qiu Yizhi and Zhongli Kuang, and no one dared to interrupt.
However, Qiu Yizhi could only cry bitterly like this, which would easily hurt his body and delay things. Wen Lingjiao walked up to Qiu Yizhi, patted his shoulder gently and said, "Master, you can't die." Resurrection, please forgive me!"
Qiu Yizhi suddenly turned his head, glared at Wen Lingjiao fiercely, and roared: "It's all your fault for that brother. Without him, how could Zheng Xin rebel? How could Master Zhongli die?"
Wen Lingjiao had never seen such a fierce expression on Qiu Yizhi's face or heard such merciless words from Qiu Yizhi, and was speechless for a moment.
After venting these two harsh words, Qiu Yizhi finally returned to normal and apologized to Wen Lingjiao: "I just said something out of my mind, don't take it to heart."
Wen Lingjiao pursed her lips and smiled: "I know. But now that Prime Minister Zhongli is dead, we only have you as our backbone. We must listen to you in everything. You can't have any accidents."
These words reminded Qiu Yizhi that now is not the time to mourn Zhongli Kuang. The eldest son of the emperor, Zheng Xin, dared to kill even his master. This shows that he has reached the point of frenzy. Thunderous methods must be implemented immediately to capture him, which is the top priority now.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi immediately cheered up from his grief, carefully laid the body of his master Zhongli Kuang flat on the ground, stood up suddenly, and said: "Everyone heard the last words of Prime Minister Zhongli just now. Zheng Xin rebelled against his superiors and killed his division commander. It is against the law of nature. I am determined to put down the rebellion both publicly and privately!"
Although father and daughter Yuchi Lianghong and Yuchi Jiming are figures in the world, their future and destiny are closely linked to the imperial court. After hearing Qiu Yizhi's words, they immediately held up their hands and said, "I am willing to listen to your orders!"
Wen Lingjiao on the side had other ideas: after she heard the news that Wen Honghui wanted to instigate Zheng Xin to rebel, she immediately found Yuchi Jiming and broke into the prison with her to report the news. She did this because she wanted to Saving the life of his sweetheart first, and then taking this opportunity to retreat to the mountains and forests with him, was not just to help Qiu Yizhi put down Zheng Xin's rebellion.
Therefore, Qiu Yi's words were settled, but Wen Lingjiao did not express her position immediately, but there was a look of uncertainty on her face.
Qiu Yizhi is a very insightful person, and he is very familiar with Wen Lingjiao's wishes and ideas, so he added: "What Zheng Xin wants is to usurp the throne. He has no virtue or talent." People are now determined by their ancestors, the country, and the people. How can such a person be unable to do such perverse things when he becomes the emperor? Now we have to eliminate all evil, otherwise there will be no peace in the world. There is no place to stand!"
Of course, Wen Lingjiao heard the meaning of what he said - it was that unless Zheng Xin was eliminated, Qiu Yi's dream of becoming a commoner with a flat head might not be possible - it was indeed very reasonable, so she gritted her teeth and nodded.
Seeing this, Qiu Yi felt relieved and immediately said: "Zheng Xin asked the master to write an abdication edict but failed. The next step must be to go to the emperor and force him to personally issue an edict to abdicate. The safety of his old man is a fundamental matter for the Han Dynasty. However, other small things cannot be taken lightly.”
Qiu Yizhi said while sorting out his thoughts: "In this case, Yuchi Jiming and Miss Wen, please follow me to escort them to the 'Qingya Temple' first. Brother Yuchi has extraordinary qigong skills. Please take a few more steps in Jinling City. Firstly, I want to see Lin Shuhan, tell him what is going on here, and tell him to be careful in everything and be prepared for all responses; secondly, I want to go to Li Shengjie and ask him to order the fleet to weigh anchor and leave Yanziji Pier, and immediately block the river. It is strictly forbidden for all ships to go south or north. Third, you have to find Liu Qing and see if you can use his name as Jiangnan Dao Jiedushi to control the defenders of Jinling City. After these things are done, your brother will immediately go to Qingya Temple. 'I will make peace with you, there must be no mistakes!"
