Qin Yining nodded in agreement, "It is necessary to be on guard. Uncle Zhongyi is also a big man with high power. In his eyes, you and I are both dispensable little people. It's better to prepare more. However, I have always had one. The doubts are hidden in my heart, and I have a good relationship with the two dear brothers today, so I will be open and honest, and ask the two brothers to help me solve my doubts.”
When Lu Xiong and Shi Fang heard the words, they nodded with a straight look and said, "Boss Qiu, please speak."
Qin Yining looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "The two brothers just said that they don't know why Prince Zhongshun would pursue and kill Hall Master Qiao and other brothers?"
The two of them jumped in their hearts, seeing that Qin Yining had come before the soldiers, everything went according to their wishes just now, everything promised them and gave them hope, but suddenly asked this question at this moment.
They thought she hadn't thought of it for a while!
Looking at her calm and wise appearance now, the two of them truly realized what a serious mistake they had made, and they shouldn't deceive this woman as an ordinary woman.
The two of them thought of this at the same time, and they were speechless for a while.
Qin Yining said with a wry smile: "Are you two brothers unwilling to say anything? Well, I actually have doubts these days. Since everyone is a member of the Qingtian Alliance, and Princess Zhongshun is also the leader of the Qingtian Alliance, how could she let her husband What about the son-in-law chasing Hall Master Qiao and everyone
"After thinking about it, it took me a long time to realize that maybe there was something unexplainable that made Princess Zhongshun kill her subordinates. As the leader of the alliance, she would never kill all of her subordinates, so she killed them. This part of the people must be part of her ideas and opinions that are different from hers, you say that what I guess is true or not?"
Lu Xiong and Shi Fang looked at each other and finally reached a consensus silently.
The two stood up at the same time and knelt down to Qin Yining.
"Boss Qiu, we didn't hide it intentionally, but someone deceived you before, so it's been hard to tell."
Qin Yining frowned and said softly, "What's the matter?"
Shi Fang and Lu Xiong supplemented each other's difficult words: "Actually, there is a reason why this treasure is known to us. When the leader of the alliance led us to capture the treasure, when it was transported, she actually took the lead in transporting it. Hand over to Prince Zhongshun for disposal.
"Our Qingtian Alliance exists to benefit the common people. We never thought that one day we would become the eagle dog of the court. As a woman, the leader of the alliance will marry her husband and follow her husband. We have also repeatedly asked us to do things for Prince Zhongshun, and those of us are already very disappointed in our hearts.
"It wasn't until she decided to see that the treasure from the Dayan Dynasty was also handed over to Prince Zhongshun, and we finally disappointed her. When there was a Mrs. Liao in the alliance, she planned to transfer the treasure in the hands of the alliance leader. At that time, it was just in time for the saint to build the imperial mausoleum to deliver the stone, so Mrs. Liao thought of a way to hide the treasure in the stone.
"Up to now, Prince Zhongshun's pursuit of us must be the command of the leader of the alliance. We maintain the original belief of the Qingtian Alliance, but the leader hates us for transferring the treasure, thinking that we are traitors of the Qingtian alliance and will kill us."
The two of you spoke to me one sentence at a time, and explained their thoughts clearly.
Qin Yining, the leader of the alliance, sat here and was a little confused for a while. It turned out that in their hearts, they had such an image.
Lu Xiong said: "Because of the alliance leader, the entire Qingtian Alliance has become the eagle dog of the imperial court. It is really difficult for us to stick to the right path for our original intention, but you also know that Boss Qiu, if we want to adhere to the truth, we often have to pay a painful price. "
Qin Yining nodded, "I understand. When you say this, all the doubts will be explained. In fact, at the beginning, Hall Master Qiao came to tell me that you are from the Qingtian Alliance, and when you were the leader of the alliance and the princess, I thought about it. However, since you already know the whereabouts of the treasure, why don't you work on your allies, but do it in private? I guess Hall Master Qiao intends to take the treasure for himself, and I also want to share a piece of the pie. But now it sounds like you don't just want to take the treasure for yourself. , but do not want the treasure to fall into the hands of the imperial court."
Lu Xiong nodded ashamedly, "That's right. Now you know that we, together with the eight dead brothers, are all traitors in the eyes of the Qingtian League. Our philosophy is different from that of the leader and other brothers of the Qingtian League."
The implication is that if Boss Qiu wants to look forward to a relationship with the princess one day because he is a member of the Qingtian Alliance, this is unlikely.
Qin Yining understood it and smiled bitterly, "I see. Well, it's not your fault. Since I joined the Qingtian Alliance, we are still brothers. You can stick to your original aspirations because of your princess and the leader of the alliance. It has been involved in too many court battles, which has changed the quality of the entire Qingtian League. You are few, but the truth is in your hands. This does not count as your defections, but they have all changed. It's my chance."
Lu Xiong and Shi Fang couldn't imagine that the person in front of them thought this way, and could not help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"It's best if Boss Qiu can think like this."
Lu Xiong rolled his eyes and said, "In my opinion, we have no leader now. It's better for Boss Qiu to be our hall master. In the future, we will have more brothers, so we can do something meaningful together."
Qin Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They add up to a total of three people, what else do you need to say for her to be the head of the hall? Isn't this hall master just kidding
However, Shi Fang agreed with Lu Xiong's proposal, nodded and said, "I think it makes sense." Then he kowtowed to Qin Yining earnestly, "Master Qiu."
"Master Qiu." Lu Xiong also saluted.
Qin Yining suppressed the helplessness, helped the two to get up, and said shyly, "If that's the case, I will be disrespectful. Two brothers, please get up."
Seeing the words "Senior Qiu", they coaxed Qin Yining into coaxing her to stop worrying about what to hide. Both Lu Xiong and Shi Fang sighed.
Qin Yining said: "If you want to take revenge for the dead brothers, you must act as soon as possible. The two of you discuss it, who will tell the situation at Bo Zhongyi
Shi Fang was hesitant, he was afraid that he would fall into a quagmire.
Lu Xiong was also afraid, but Lu Xiong thought more. If Lu Heng gets the treasure because of this, he will be able to hug the thigh of the Lumen family, will he not be rich and rich in the rest of his life? Even if it doesn't work, in the end he just runs away, and no one forces him to retire in the Lu family.
Lu Xiong said solemnly: "I'll go. Brother Shi and Hall Master Qiu are waiting for my news."
Qin Yining and Shi Fang nodded their heads, "Okay, Lu Xiong is careful, we are waiting for your good news."
"Yes, I will not be humiliated." Lu Xiong said seriously.
After discussing some countermeasures, Qin Yining got up to leave. Shi Fang continued to return to the cellar where he was hiding, while Lu Xiong left Sitong first in the rain.
Qin Yining sat down for a while before taking the guards and maid and saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Yin Da.
"These days, I have to worry about the big shopkeeper Yin, and the people in the cellar have to think about it from time to time."
"Don't worry." The shopkeeper Yin Da nodded with a smile, "If anything happens, the old man will send someone to inform you immediately."
Qin Yining just nodded and got into the car to go back to the palace.
Along the way, Pang Xiao sat in the carriage, talking with Qin Yining, while Mu Jinghu kept his disguise and sat on the carriage to drive the car.
Qin Yining said in a low voice, "I never knew that these people actually thought so. It's no wonder why Mrs. Liao suddenly changed her mind and hid the treasure. It turned out that in their hearts, I was relying on the imperial court. already."
Pang Xiao rubbed Qin Yining's forehead with his big hand, "Don't think so much. You can lead everyone on the right path, at least you won't be careful to hide from the court like you did in Dayan before. The big guy is on the right path, and he once helped the sage regain the throne. The great credit and glory of this day belong to you and the Qingtian Alliance. You, the leader of the alliance, have done a good job, why should you deny yourself because of the thoughts of a small group of people ?"
"I know, I know the reason, but I still feel a little uncomfortable when I hear these words." Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's okay if they don't tell the truth, and now I'm just waiting to see Lu Heng's reaction. "
Pang Xiao also nodded, "I think, with Lu Heng's character, whether he believes it or not, he will personally check it out. As long as it is checked, he will fall into this pit and never climb out again."
Qin Yining said, "Since ancient times, wealth and silk have moved people's hearts, and even the head of a Lumen family cannot be exempted from the vulgarity."
Pang Xiao also smiled and nodded.
The carriage did not return directly to the palace, but spared a few circles in the city, and then changed to a carriage belonging to the palace in a quiet alley halfway.
Mu Jinghu and the bodyguard who acted as the driver were hiding in rain gear.
Qin Yining helped Zi Yuan and Han Xiao's men to get out of the car, and stepped on the wooden bench with the help of Pang Xiao.
As a result, at this moment, someone suddenly walked past the entrance of the alley.
Bian Ruohan was wearing a cape and a group of maids and old ladies came towards her. She saw someone changing carriages in the alley, and looked over strangely.
Bian Ruohan glanced curiously at a woman with a handsome face in men's clothing. Bian Ruohan's eyes showed a bit of ridicule when his eyes fell on the tall, ordinary-looking guard who actually reached out to support the woman dressed as a man.
It turned out that this woman had an affair with the guard!
Although Bian Ruohan was curious, he didn't want to do much, and continued to lead people forward.
At this time, there was the sound of a carriage moving in the alley. Bian Ruohan turned around suddenly, and saw that the other party's carriage had already driven away.
Bian Ruohan clicked his tongue twice, "Such a beautiful woman likes to wear men's clothes, and she hooks up with an ordinary-looking guard."
The maids and old ladies who followed them didn't dare to say much. They were all new to Bian Ruohan and served by their side. Knowing what happened to the people in front of them, where would they dare to make trouble
Who knew that after a few steps, Bian Ruohan suddenly stopped.
"That's not right... Why are the two maids next to that person so familiar... "
