The atmosphere is chilling, and the needle drop can be heard.
Xi Hongxuan held the handle of the chair, and reacted quickly in this terrifying atmosphere. He said, "Confused with the true and false, you are throwing the fascination again! Shen Lanzhou, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"The knife is already on my neck," Shen Zechuan tilted his head to look at the blade, "you can give me an order to take the head on my neck."
Xi Hongxuan did not dare to relax in the slightest, and in this confrontation, he refused to let go of any subtle expressions of Shen Zechuan. Although he was firmly seated, he was more anxious than Shen Zechuan, but the more he warned himself not to be influenced by Shen Zechuan, the more he would be moved by Shen Zechuan's eyes and tone.
"We're brothers anyway," Xi Hongxuan said with a smile, "Lanzhou, tell the truth, I'll leave you a whole body."
"Murder is nothing but a nod, you can do it anyway," Shen Zechuan said, "Come on."
Xi Hongxuan pinched his fingers on the chair handle tightly and looked at Shen Zechuan, but Shen Zechuan was too calm, so Xi Hongxuan said, "Aren't you worried about Qi Huilian? If you die, I will peel the old dog's skin and put him Sell it to the Queen Mother for a favor!"
Shen Zechuan said: "If you had handed Qi Huilian over to the Queen Mother twenty years earlier, she might have forgiven you for your negligence, but Qi Huilian is worthless now. He is worthless alive, and even more worthless when he is dead. You are also a veteran of the business. , Do you feel comfortable doing such a loss-making business? I think you are fascinated and stupid. "
"Qi Hui is just pretending to be crazy," said Xi Hongxuan, "Do you think I can't see it? He is lingering with his tail tucked between his tails. In order to survive, he looks so good!"
Shen Zechuan sneered: "Try me at this time? He's a lunatic."
"If he's a lunatic, who are you apprenticing to?" Xi Hongxuan stretched his neck, "Zhaosin Temple made you reborn, how did the pug-like remnant of the Shen family six years ago become so daring and resourceful, ah? Lan Zhou, say it!"
"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen." Shen Zechuan looked gloomy, "It's like being a pug, snorting at people, and being kicked and kicked, don't you know? Myself. You and I are both escaping from danger, but now we have to fight with each other, Xi Hongxuan, you have a good time with the words "Xie Mo and Kill the Donkey."
"If you hadn't disclosed the rumors, how could the Ouhualou collapse for no reason? We call ourselves brothers and sisters inside, and if you come out, you will stab you in the backhand. In terms of cruelty, I can't compare to you! But the sky doesn't go as expected, I'm not dead!" Xi Hongxuan said coldly. , "You want to please both ends, it's not such a cheap thing, right?"
"What can Xiao Er give me," Shen Zechuan sarcastically, "is it worth your suspicion? He is not Xiao Jiming, he can't be the King of Libei, and he can't order Libei Iron Cavalry, he is just a trapped beast in this capital! What's the difference between him and me? I don't lack what he has."
"He has a good fortune that you don't have," said Xi Hongxuan, "he is the second son of King Libei, born in a straight line, and is from the same mother as Xiao Jiming. Even if he can't inherit the throne of Libei, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses willing to obey orders. What you lack are soldiers?"
Shen Zechuan's brows were cold, and he said, "I am serving as Jinyiwei, why do I need troops and horses? Only in Qedu can I survive, and if I leave Qedu, I will be useless. I am the eighth son of Shen Wei, you are the second son of the Xi clan, you and I Who is better? It can be seen that there is no difference between the descendants. People, if they haven't come to an end, the world can't decide."
"When you say such rebellious words, you have already regarded the order of this world as nothing," Xi Hongxuan raised his finger and pointed to his toes, "but you still have to recognize that some people are born to be masters, and the upper class of the family maintains and changes, this is the Life! If there is no difference between the descendants, how can the bloodline maintain the orthodoxy? His surname Li is higher than your surname Shen!"
Shen Zechuan stared at Xi Hongxuan and laughed aloud. The madness in his affectionate eyes returned, and he said, "Yes, yes..."
At this moment, when Qiao Tianya saw Shen Zechuan's killing intent, he almost thought he was about to draw his sword. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Shen Zechuan said again with a pleasant face: "If that's the case, what future do I have with him, Xiao Er? You hear the wind is the rain. If you set up a plan to kill me today, you will regret it in the future."
Xi Hongxuan was in shock and indecision. He didn't show his face, only lowered his eyes, and said, "When death is imminent, you still dare to pretend! You only leave Zhaoxin Temple with your front feet, and come here with your back feet, doesn't it mean that this is an important place for you?"
"That's natural," Shen Zechuan's emotions seemed to sink into a deep pool, and he couldn't see even a ripple. He said, "That's Qi Huilian, even if he's crazy, he was Qi Huilian who was in the middle of the three-year league back then, and was personally invited out of the mountain by the East Palace. In my hands, unless it is death, I will never give him to anyone else."
Shen Zechuan expected it well, Xi Hongxuan was setting up a game to deceive himself, and he didn't know whether Qi Huilian was really crazy or fake, but he wanted to preempt Shen Zechuan by surprise. Although Xi Hongxuan doesn't have the ability of Xue Xiuzhuo, he has one ability that others can't keep up with, which is eloquence. He was able to instigate a shocking change in Taixue with just a teahouse meeting that day, just because of his clever tongue, and this was his flaw.
If he was really sure that Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye were setting up a game to play with him, he would not give Shen Zechuan a chance to speak. Since he dragged his sick body here, it was because he was not sure whether Shen Zechuan had joined forces with Xiao Chiye, so he had to show his housekeeping skills and put Shen Zechuan's words in his mouth.
"What do you want Qi Huilian to do?" Xi Hongxuan asked fearfully.
Shen Zechuan suddenly had a plan in his mind, so he leaned over and said to Xi Hongxuan: "Qi Huilian is the teacher of the prince, when the East Palace incident, I heard that there was a grandson still in swaddling, Ji Lei didn't tell me where he went before he died. , I'm afraid Qi Huilian will know, so I'll keep an eye on him."
Xi Hongxuan couldn't help but change his color, and said, "The Queen Mother has nothing left under her sword. Cutting grass and rooting is the norm! What are you doing in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Shen Zechuan said: "If there is no emperor's heir, who would dare to murder the emperor like this? If he is dead, Da Zhou will no longer have the surname Li. You did not do this, nor did I do it. You are here to turn against me. , why don't you put down the knife and discuss countermeasures with me."
"How do I know it wasn't you who did it?" Xi Hongxuan didn't move, "No one else knows what the structure of the Ouhualou is, but you know it best, and it's the most convenient to move your hands and feet. Besides, I've been robbed in a row, but you have a liter. Going up again, great credit!"
"I only got the grace, and it's when I want to build up my strength to climb up. What are you doing to kill him? Besides, you and I have been collaborating for a long time, empty talk, why did Xiao Er believe me?" Shen Zechuan smiled slowly at him. Get up, "I kill you, it's time for greater benefits."
He made this statement half-truth, and the people who listened were horrified. Xi Hongxuan covered his lips and coughed, taking advantage of this gap to avoid Shen Zechuan's gaze.
Although they colluded and murdered many people successively, Xi Hongxuan still couldn't confront Shen Zechuan head-on. This is not a momentary fear, it is a fear that accumulates with acquaintance. He couldn't forget what Ji Lei looked like after he was cut, so this time he became suspicious and wanted to act quickly.
This person cannot stay.
Xi Hongxuan thought.
When the time is right, kill him no matter what! Such a person will definitely not use it for himself, and his words about the indiscretions have revealed that he has no reverence for the Eight Great Families. Everyone is scheming with tigers, and the comparison is who will be faster in the future.
Xi Hongxuan made up his mind secretly, also smiled, and said, "I'm scared to scare you, but also because I was scared when I was pressed in that pit, Lan Zhou, if you go in and lie down, you will understand. What are you still doing? Put away the knife, don't hurt Lord Zhenfu."
The surrounding knives were successively sheathed, but Xi Hongxuan did not let them out. He pulled the fox fur and said, "The incident has happened suddenly in the past few days, and we can't communicate with each other. It is inevitable that we will be suspicious of each other. Just say it clearly, come, Lan Zhou, and have a discussion."
Shen Zechuan said: "The sword has no eyes. Next time, Second Young Master will say hello to me first, so that I can prepare and not be in a hurry like today."
"You're very good at keeping things calm in the face of danger." Xi Hongxuan raised the pot to make tea, "You know, we're doing something to lift our heads, and this time it really hit our face, otherwise, when would I ever treat you like this? They're all being forced! I see Xiao Er is going to be complacent again, and I'm anxious. Come, come, sit down, are you still complaining about me?"
"My surname Shen is not worthy of a high position," Shen Zechuan looked inside the room, "How dare I sit next to you?"
Xi Hongxuan laughed and said, "That's all nonsense! Saying it out is to insult others. Can you be the same as others? Sit down."
Shen Zechuan just sat down.
Xi Hongxuan gave him the tea, and said with an apologetic smile: "If you want me to tell you, you are really delayed by this surname, do you say it yourself? If you were born in the Han family or the Fei family, there is nothing between us. So many quarrels? Lan Zhou, calm down! Tell me, why are you keeping this Qi Huilian?"
Shen Zechuan touched his sleeve pocket and remembered that he had lost the ivory fan. He said, "The old madman was frightened by the fact that the prince committed suicide. I bowed my head to see him at Zhaosin Temple, and I heard some intermittent crazy talk. I wanted to keep him for later."
"You should ask me about the emperor's grandson." Xi Hongxuan poked the tea foam, "Don't think about it, it's impossible."
"Is there no door at all?" Shen Zechuan turned the tea cup gently and didn't drink it.
Xi Hongxuan snorted twice after eating the tea, and said, "Ji Lei and Shen Wei did the errand together, both of them are ruthless people, the beautiful princess was strangled to death by them, you expect them to be able to deal with the emperor. Sun Liuqing? What's more, the emperor and the grandson have an undeniable revenge for killing their father.
"Xue Xiuzhuo said the same thing?"
Xi Hongxuan glanced at him and said, "Why did you specifically ask about Yanqing?"
"Acquaintance," Shen Zechuan's eyes were fixed, "you have a good relationship with him. Didn't you listen to him when you were promoted to the Examination Division this time?"
"Both of you are Zhuge Liang. I'll listen to whoever speaks more reasonable." Xi Hongxuan kicked the ball back and said, "It is said that literati treat each other lightly, and how can you smart people despise each other."
"That's really not true," Shen Zechuan said, "you were transferred to the Kao Gong Division before Ducha, and you put this red-hot job on yourself, which is just making people jealous and jealous. It's hard to guarantee that there is no reason why you were framed this time. Xue Xiuzhuo He has been an official for some years, can't he think of it? If he thinks of it, why would he advise you to go?"
Xi Hongxuan stopped eating tea and said, "Who would have thought that someone would dare to attack me? I don't blame Yanqing."
"He was successful in escorting the Nanlin Hunting Ground, but at that time he knew how to keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Instead, he went to Dali Temple to practice."
As if he hadn't heard it, Xi Hongxuan also smiled: "Oh! I almost forgot about this interruption. Lan Zhou, now that I'm sick and the emperor is awake, it is time for the Supreme Court to start impeaching me. Think of a way, I can't be transferred from Yedu."
"This time it was the emperor's fault, but no one blamed him, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household shied the blame. You happened to fall inside, and everyone would naturally be willing to use you." Shen Zechuan put the tea cup away, "It's difficult."
"Pan Xiangjie and Wei Huaigu!" Xi Hongxuan said, "In the final analysis, they just want money, and it's not a big deal to scold one by one. How many people died this time? As long as the emperor is okay, everything else can be bought."
"There are not tens of thousands of taels this time, I'm afraid it will not be settled." Shen Zechuan said with a smile.
"I have the money," Xi Hongxuan said, putting the tea cup away, "but I am reluctant to give it to them. My mistake was to accompany the emperor to visit the kiln, but Guangou has nothing to do with me. ."
"The first level of the official university crushes people, and the top wants to deal with you. You are both right and wrong. Reasoning won't work, and it's useless to leave a stall." Shen Zechuan said calmly, "It's still difficult to handle."
Xi Hongxuan said: "It's not difficult to do, I tell you, the Sacred Heart is with me, even if they want to deal with it strictly, they have to look at the holy face. Xiao Er hasn't solved it yet, so he can't be in a mess. I'm sure that the emperor woke up this time. It's definitely not what it used to be."
