This sleep can only be described as "miserable". Qin Mubai had never known that "sleeping" could be so painful.
Complete loss of consciousness, absolute coma!
When he woke up leisurely, he almost didn't have the strength to open his eyes. Lying down, I couldn't move. My limbs felt sore and numb and felt as soft as cotton. It was like being pressed down on the bed by a ghost. I wanted to turn over it, but I didn't have the slightest strength in my body.
"You are in good health and have a strong will. You woke up several hours earlier than expected." A man's voice came from the side, low and low, with a hint of pride in his voice.
Qin Mubai's heart tightened, and he suddenly became more awake. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw that he was lying on a simple and rough bed, surrounded by ordinary furnishings of ordinary people's houses.
Moving his eyes, he saw Yin Hongzhi standing next to him.
Qin Mubai wanted to speak, but his throat felt as dry as fire. He moved his throat with difficulty, but still couldn't make a sound.
"Come here, serve General Qin with soup." Yin Hongzhi spoke.
Two men and two women walked in from the door. The men knew them as Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao. The two women have pretty faces, hot bodies, and are quite young. They both dress up to look like figures in the world. There is an evil spirit between their eyebrows, and they are obviously not good people.
"I've wronged you, General Qin." Yin Hongzhi smiled half-heartedly, "These four people were specially sent by His Highness to protect and serve you. You don't have to be polite to them, just ask for anything. Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, General Qin is awake. You two must not neglect your duties, let alone neglect General Qin."
"Yes, sir." The two of them clasped their fists in agreement and glanced at the two women.
The two women nodded, brought a food box, took out the steaming food and soup, then walked to Qin Mubai's bed and said, "I will serve the general for dinner."
"Put it down." Qin Mubai was still lying down, unable to move, so he simply closed his eyes to recharge his batteries.
The current scene is too clear - he has been placed under house arrest!
This is not what he is most worried about. In any case, Li You has no reason to kill himself. What worries him is - "Li You is so bold as to put me under house arrest, so what does he want to do!"
Almost reflexively, Qin Mubai thought of the prince!
Now that the prince has come to Xiangzhou, and Li You suddenly made such a strange and bold move, isn't it aimed at him
"General Qin is really a calm man. It's not in vain that His Highness values you so highly." Yin Hongzhi said with a weird smile, "You must be guessing now why His Highness did this. Bar?"
"Yes." Qin Mubai did not deny it. Feeling weak, he simply said this word.
"You are such a smart person, you should have guessed it!" Yin Hongzhi smiled triumphantly, sat down on a chair, and drank tea slowly and politely.
Qin Mubai closed his eyes and meditated for a while. Suddenly he was startled and asked aloud: "How long have I been unconscious and what time is it now?"
"It's not too long. We expected you to wake up at noon, but we didn't expect you to be at least four hours early." Yin Hongzhi said lazily, "Now, the Xihetrough should be busy, and we are preparing to proceed. It’s time for the grand ceremony at Emperor Yang’s Mausoleum.”
Qin Mubai cried out in his heart: It seems the worst is about to happen! This drug was so powerful that I actually fell into a coma for a day and two nights!
"You guessed something, right?" Yin Hongzhi smiled sinisterly and proudly.
"You want to assassinate the prince." Qin Mubai still closed his eyes and said these words through his teeth.
"Oh! Qin Mubai is indeed worthy of his reputation, he is so powerful, so powerful!" Yin Hongzhi clicked his tongue in surprise, "No wonder His Highness said that if you want the plan to succeed, you must make a fuss about Qin Mubai. In Xiangzhou You are our only fear in this world, so His Highness has said that you can come to our aid, but this is unlikely..."
"So you just dragged me into the water, right?" Qin Mubai said.
"Correct answer. You are really unusually smart, hehe!" Yin Hongzhi smiled more and more proudly.
Speaking of this, Qin Mubai finally understood.
Li You and Yin Hongzhi devised a conspiracy to assassinate the prince in Xiangzhou. Regardless of whether their assassination was successful or not, it would cause an uproar.
If it succeeds, the prince will be killed. As the landlord of Xiangzhou, Wu Wang Li Ke and I, Qin Mubai, will inevitably be implicated, or at least they will be guilty of dereliction of duty; if it fails, they can frame the blame! At the same time, I, the person who should be present at the ceremony, disappeared for no reason, which could not but arouse suspicion. If they use some tricks to drag me into the water, it won't be difficult.
An extremely despicable conspiracy!
"The King of Qi couldn't think of such a vicious and insidious plan, so you must be the one who ordered him." Qin Mubai said.
"Thank you for the compliment." Yin Hongzhi smiled proudly and said lazily, "Didn't you scold you very much yesterday? You were righteous and generous, with the face of a loyal minister of the country. I just want to see, when you are What will it look like after being wronged and forced to become a traitor? Don't worry, my plan is absolutely flawless. Regardless of whether the assassination is successful, Li You's enemies will be severely damaged, and you will have no choice. Stand with us from now on.”
"Really? You only have so much ability, and you know how to plot against your relatives or people who trust you." Qin Mubai smiled coldly, "How can it be possible to shake the power of the gods with such devious tricks? I advise you to do it as soon as possible. It's not too late to stop. If it leads to tragedy, it's too late to regret it!"
"Young man, I don't need you to teach me how to do things. You are too conceited and arrogant." Yin Hongzhi snorted coldly and said, "If you witnessed your whole family being beheaded, what would you do? What do you think? I admit that I have selfish motives, and I want revenge. But doesn’t Yuer also have selfish motives? As the saying goes, a slap in the face can’t make a difference. Do you think he is really that stupid and is willing to be on the same path as me? "
"It's not you who instigated it." Qin Mubai said, "He was born in the royal family and has enjoyed endless wealth and splendor throughout his life. What's wrong with being a Taiping Prince?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions, you don't understand." Yin Hongzhi smiled sadly, "When a person is hungry, he is always eager to fill his stomach; when he is full, he will also want to Clothes that cover the body; when you have food and clothing, you will still miss your wife and house; when you have these, you will still miss your farmland and concubines, and you will want to be promoted and make a fortune. Human desires are always expanding and will not be satisfied. You ask yourself, Have you been willing to be mediocre and mediocre ever since you were an official?"
"So you took advantage of Li You's weakness and constantly instigated him to get everything you needed through unconventional means, right?" Qin Mubai said.
"He has never been willing to do anything without my instigation." Yin Hongzhi said, "Although I am his uncle, we are both a master and a minister. Can a minister really influence the master? You don’t understand such a simple truth. At best, I only add fuel to the flames. In fact, if you were Li You, you might not have the same thoughts and actions as you did today.”
"What nonsense!" Qin Mubai sneered, "No matter how ambitious I am, I would never think of murdering my brothers, harming my family, or disobeying my father!"
"Oh, what a high-sounding statement!" Yin Hongzhi sneered nonchalantly and said, "Let me use an analogy, General Qin. I know that you are also the son of a concubine. If your father and brothers never regard you as family, They just treat you like a piece of shit and don't even bother to look at you, so what do you think? Moreover, your mother's family still has a blood feud with your father's family. How can they not care about you and treat you differently? Then, your father neglects your mother and sister, can you bear this tone and continue to live in this home leisurely and contentedly? "
"You are sophistry, looking for ridiculous excuses for your ridiculous evil deeds." Qin Mubai was too lazy to argue with him and said, "I only want to say one thing, you will lose, there will be no other outcome!"
"Really? Let's wait and see!" Yin Hongzhi didn't get angry. He picked up the cup and slowly drank the tea, saying, "Why are you still standing there? Help the general up quickly and feed him some soup. ! Don't worry, General Qin, there will never be any drugs in these meals. It's very safe here, and no one will find it, and there's no way you can escape. So, it's better to save your energy. It's delicious. Have a good drink and rest, wait with me for His Highness to come back, and listen to the good news soon!"
The two women followed the order and stepped forward. One of them climbed to the bed. The two worked together to lift Qin Mubai up, stuffed a ball cotton back pillow behind his back, picked up the soup and fed him with a spoon.
Qin Mubai didn't say much and just opened his mouth to eat. Even if this meal is still drugged, there is no choice. The current situation is that if you don't eat, you will starve to death. Moreover, if you are not full, where will you have the energy to think about countermeasures, and where will you have the strength to think about escape
The small house is quiet at the moment, but at the mausoleum of Emperor Yangdi in Xihetao, there is a shocking conspiracy about to take place!
If you don't find a way to stop it, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous!
A woman who was feeding soup saw Qin Mubai drinking foreign meat soup with his brows furrowed in thought. She couldn't help but grinned and said politely: "The general is indeed handsome, and his appearance is worthy of his reputation. My sister The two of us are destined to serve the general, which is also a blessing from our previous lives. But general, I will also tell you the ugly words. If you stay here with peace of mind, my two sisters will obey the general's advice. But if the general thinks about it. If you run away, it will be very unreasonable for both of us."
Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little startled, and looked at the two women carefully. They are both around 20 years old, and they really look like twins. Judging from their speech and behavior, although they are young, they must be veterans and they all know how to look at faces.
At this time, Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao next to them laughed and said: "Good girls, don't scare General Qin. With your two methods, how can a fierce man escape from your grasp? General Qin, please forgive me. The villain talks a lot, but we must tell you the truth. This pair of sisters are famous as Shura Yaksha. Although they look pretty and have a gentle, virtuous and generous attitude, they are really murderous. Without blinking. Moreover, the skill of killing is so exquisite."
"In short, they are all top-notch killers in the world." Yin Hongzhi said briefly, then smiled, "Because we all know that General Qin is both civil and military. In addition to being extremely smart, he also has a lot of talents. I'm afraid we mere mortals can't retain the general, so we take this step. If there is any unreasonable offense, I hope the general will forgive you!"
Qin Mubai couldn't help feeling nervous: It seemed that what they said was probably true. These two women reminded me of Su Lianqing when I first glanced at them. Moreover, there was more "violence" in their eyes than Su Lianqing's. They were probably really cruel and ruthless people. I have five people "waiting" for me when I'm stunned, which shows how thorough and rigorous their plan is!
It seems that this time, we are really in big trouble!
