Chapter 132: The truth comes out

Views:

After leaving the living room, Qin Mubai walked to the gate of the palace in silence, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.

Could it be that Li Daozong is an ignorant person? I risked it all to give him a heads up, and he kicked me out like this? ... No, what he just said is very problematic!

"I am already familiar with it, so why bother to read it again?" - He just glanced at it a few times, is it possible that he can still remember it? !

With a bright idea in his heart, Qin Mubai turned to look at Chen Yan who was walking beside him. The light that shot out from his eyes was sharp and sharp, staring at Chen Yan until she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Yan scolded in a low voice.

"Actually, I should have figured something out a long time ago... I'm so stupid!" Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed.

"How do you explain this?" Chen Yan frowned slightly and asked.

"You should know better than me, so why bother to expose it?" Qin Mubai laughed scornfully and strode forward with his feet raised.

Chen Yan's delicate body trembled slightly, she bit her lips in shame and annoyance and stood there for a long time, then turned and walked towards the hall.

Li Daozong was sitting upright, as if waiting for Chen Yan to come back. Seeing her approaching, he didn't say anything but smiled slightly. A few crow's feet wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were much softer than before, and there was still some affection and teasing in them.

"Your Majesty... I have been wronged this time!" Chen Yan stepped forward, stamped her feet, and said angrily.

"What's the matter, Yan'er? Did that kid Qin Mubai expose it?" Li Daozong laughed, walked up and patted Chen Yan's shoulder gently, "Forget it! Paper can't cover up the fire anyway, let's It's the same if he knows it sooner or later. I can finally see that this Qin Mubai is a talented person, smart, intelligent and quick-witted, and even the slightest clue cannot escape his eyes. "

"Did you deliberately expose the secret to him?" Chen Yan, who had always been cold and frosty, actually curled her lips and behaved like a little girl, "Why did you tell him just now that you already know the account books by heart?"

"If I don't say that, how can he go back and report to Li Ke?" Li Daozong laughed and said, "He is a smart man and must know what I mean. Without further ado, I will leave for Chang'an immediately to meet him. Your Majesty. Yan'er, you have really made a great contribution this time. My reputation was almost ruined by those monsters like Zhang Tianci. Thank you so much!"

"See if you are still greedy for money in the future!" Chen Yan glared at Li Daozong angrily.

"Okay, okay, I will immediately give an order to allocate all family resources to provide food for disaster relief, okay? Firstly, it means that I repent, and secondly, I can go to the emperor to plead guilty and beg for mercy!" Li Daozong said.

"Okay, you leave for Chang'an quickly. If you are late, it will be too late!" Chen Yan gently tugged on Li Daozong's sleeves and said, "When we left in the morning, I heard them say that the emperor's imperial edict was very It may have been issued, and it may be on its way now. You can rush to Chang'an as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, my sapphire snow-hoofed horse can travel thousands of miles in a day and can reach Chang'an in an instant." Li Daozong looked at Chen Yan and nodded and smiled, and reached out to caress her head, "Yan'er, you are a girl who lives in the world. It’s not a serious matter, why don’t you find a good husband to marry as soon as possible?”

"Stop talking and leave for Chang'an!" Chen Yan blushed and urged hurriedly.

"I think Qin Mubai is pretty good..."

"Besides, I won't pay attention to you anymore!"

"Okay, let's stop talking!" Li Daozong laughed, "My good daughter, go and do it for your father!"

Qin Mubai returned to the inn, and several of the accompanying Baiqi pawns were waiting for him in the room. Seeing him coming back alone, everyone was a little surprised and asked: "General, why didn't Chen Yan come?"

"She should stay in the palace as a guest, right? I don't know." Qin Mubai said casually, turning over and lying on the bed, "Everyone must be exhausted, so they should go back to their rooms and have a good rest. After waking up, they will eat well. After we’ve had enough to drink, we’ll head back to Jishan.”

"Yes, General." The soldiers did not dare to say any more and left the room to rest.

Qin Mubai put his hands on the back of his head and let out a long breath, and couldn't help but sigh: "Whether it is officialdom or the world, people are really separated from each other. I never expected that this Chen Yan has always been hiding something from me. In fact, I am really stupid. I should have thought that she would show the account book to Li Daozong first. Zhu Chengwen died because of Li Daozong, and left a last word to protect Li Daozong before he died... If I were Chen Yan, I would definitely do the same. Take the account book and go to see Li Daozong immediately!"

"Then, under the guidance of Li Daozong, Chen Yan did a number of things. Including her sneaking into us and asking about Li Ke and I's intentions and attitudes, she was actually spying on the emperor's intentions. After that, she Go and assassinate Zhang Tianci... The account book is in her hands. Once Zhang Tianci is dead, there will be no evidence in the case and Li Daozong will not be traced. Furthermore, even if the assassination fails, we can alert the enemy and find out the true intention and position of our camp!"

"Awesome, Li Daozong! He knows that Li Ke and I were sent by the emperor, but he doesn't understand what the emperor's intention is. After such repeated spying, plus my trip to the palace today, he knows everything well. Firstly, he understood that the case had been thoroughly investigated by us, and it was impossible for him to deny it; secondly, he understood that Li Ke and I were willing to help him; thirdly, he also understood The emperor wants to use Jishan's disaster relief to appease the people, investigate and eradicate the corrupt officials in this area, and intends to give him a warning to the King of Jiangxia! "

"This is actually a game between the emperor and the king of Jiangxia! Everyone else is a pawn! That's why he didn't accept my favor today and immediately kicked me away. On the surface, he was extremely unhappy with me. Being polite is actually an expression of gratitude to Li Ke and me and an intention to protect him. Because we secretly helped him in public and private matters, it was actually tantamount to dereliction of duty and was suspected of deceiving the emperor. If the charges were spread, it would be a crime. It doesn't matter. If nothing goes wrong, he will definitely leave for Chang'an immediately and take the initiative to confess his mistake to the emperor... What a comprehensive plan! Li Daozong is really not easy to do! Chen Yan is also an amazing woman. After spending so long with her, I really don’t know which of her words are true and which are lies, and what relationship she has with King Jiang Xia. It seems that everything she says is already questionable. ”

After thinking so much, Qin Mubai felt a little upset. He took a long breath and stretched his limbs: "I don't want to think about it anymore. Go to sleep! Everything has been sorted out anyway, so there's no point thinking about it!"

Half an hour later, Chen Yan walked into the inn. Dressed in black and holding a sword, she stood out, and everyone in the inn paid attention to her. She went straight to the guest room on the second floor and saw two Hundred Cavalry soldiers standing outside a guest room, so she walked over.

When the two Baiqi saw Chen Yan approaching, they looked at each other with confusion in their hearts. Because Qin Mubai said just now that Chen Yan might have stayed in the palace of King Jiangxia as a guest... That would be strange. Baiqi Shi didn't stay, but she, Chen Yan, stayed

"Where is your general?" Chen Yan stepped forward and asked coldly as usual.

"The general has gone to bed. You can go back to your room and rest." The soldier replied harshly.

"I have something to tell him."

"It won't be too late. The general is tired, please don't disturb."

"Get out of the way!" Chen Yan scolded.

"Let her in!" Qin Mubai's voice came from inside, and the two Baiqi soldiers had to step aside and let her in.

Chen Yan opened the door and glared at the two Baiqi when she entered: "You guys stay away!"

The two hundred knights laughed strangely at the same time and walked away obediently. Looking at their eyes and expressions, it seems that they are saying: A man and a woman alone... what good things are they going to do

Chen Yan didn't care anymore. She stepped in and closed the door. She put her sword on the table and let out a long breath.

Qin Mubai lay on the bed with his back stretched out, his hands on the back of his head, his eyes closed to rest. Chen Yan glanced at him, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing where to start the topic.

After all, I had deceived him and hid too many things from him, which was a bit unreasonable.

Qin Mubai just lay there with his eyes closed and said nothing, treating her like air.

After sitting for a long time, Chen Yan felt embarrassed and annoyed, and said in a straight line: "I have shown the account book to King Jiang Xia a long time ago. At that time, King Jiang Xia was going to personally deal with Zhang Tianci and then go to the emperor to plead guilty. That happened to be At that time, you and Li Ke arrived at Jishan on the emperor's orders. The King of Jiangxia didn't know what the emperor meant, so he sent me to you to find out the news. In fact, there was no harm in it. I saw that you were very close to Zhang Tianci, and I was afraid of Zhang Tianci. Tianci came back and put the blame on King Jiang Xia, so he took the risk and went to assassinate him. "That's what happened!"

After she finished speaking, Qin Mubai still didn't move, lying on his bed as if he was asleep.

"My relationship with Zhu Chengwen didn't lie to you. I didn't know the King of Jiangxia before coming to Jishan! It was after Zhu Chengwen died that I took the account book to see the prince. He was very sad and hit it off with me and accepted me. Be a foster daughter." Chen Yan said to herself as if she was singing a one-man show, "I didn't mean to hide this from you, but I didn't know the enemy at first, especially your attitude towards King Jiang Xia, so I didn't dare to make any mistakes. His big thing. As you said, if there is conflict and suspicion between King Jiangxia and the emperor, it will be the biggest trouble. So I have to be cautious until you see King Jiangxia and express your intention to him. Only after I show him the account book can I fully trust you. You are a smart person, and you should be able to understand my feelings. Would you do the same thing if it were you

Qin Mubai still didn't say anything, and even snored softly, seemingly asleep.

"Small man! Narrow-minded!" Chen Yan cursed angrily and stood up to leave.

"Remember to close the door!" Qin Mubai said behind her, "Your room is next to mine. If you haven't eaten, just tell the waiter."

For a moment, Chen Yan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, she spat: "Pretend to be dead!" She pushed open the door and walked out.

At this time, she seemed to feel that all the burdens on her body were instantly lifted, and her whole body felt lighter.

After taking a long breath, Chen Yan opened the door of her room and walked in. She sat down on the bed and meditated silently: Zhu Chengwen, you and I are destined to be destined to be inseparable, and now we are even more separated by yin and yang. I have helped you fulfill your last wish. If there is an afterlife... we are destined to meet again!
