Chapter 77 Chapter 76
Li Kong's smile froze, he didn't expect not to see Xiao Qi for so many years, it was even more difficult to resist than before.He simply smiled, and took out the gold medal from Shifang from his pocket and showed it to Xiao Qi.

"Shifang wanted to win me over and serve the emperor together. I had nothing against it, but he knew about Miss Meng's stay in my house, so I couldn't keep him.

I'm not afraid to tell you that I did stand by and watch you and His Highness Jiarou fall off the cliff this time, so why can't you help me here? "

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead twitched, and with difficulty endured the urge to fight Li Kong now.

It's one thing for him to guess Li Kong's motives, and another thing to hear him say it so brazenly, but he can't, he knows this kind of person too well, except for Meng Keshu who can touch all his emotions, who is his fate? Didn't care, didn't even have awe.

"So, why do you think we will help you now?"

Xiao Qi deliberately used "we" to convince Li Kong that he was representing Wei Huai'en.

Li Kong didn't doubt the relationship between Xiao Qi and Wei Huai'en, he had seen Xiao Qi and Wei Huai'en's intimacy, so he directly expressed his bargaining chip.

"I can work for His Royal Highness Jiarou. I will inform His Highness of any order from today's majesty before making any plans. But I want a guarantee that if His Highness succeeds in his great career, I can give Miss Meng an upright status."

Li Kong waited for Xiao Qi's answer.

Xiao Qi tapped the ground with a tree branch, and said casually: "It's not that you don't know the enmity between His Highness and Yan Weiguang's party, Li Kong, your price is too high."

"You don't agree?"

Li Kong clenched the gold medal tightly, but Xiao Qi patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were deep, and he suppressed his violent anger at a glance.

"Your Highness will not agree, but I can."

Li Kong frowned subconsciously: "Only because of you? Because you can reverse the case of the Meng family? You are only one rank higher than me, not to mention that you think you will be safe and sound when you return to Beijing this time?"

"It seems that you still know a lot. But you should believe me."

Xiao Qi was not offended by his taunt, turned around and walked towards a hillside, Li Kong put away the gold medal and reluctantly followed.

Looking from this high slope, you can see the lush valleys and majestic peaks of Mengshan Mountain. The mountains and ravines start from the bottom of the foot and rush to the capital continuously.

This is the source of the dragon veins of the Liang Dynasty, and it is the magnificent mountains and rivers that inherit the heaven and the earth.

Long live the millennium, the vicissitudes of life, the ancient wind passing by, just this moment is enough to make people feel awe-inspiring, and feel that the sky is high and the earth is far away, and I have a drop of life.

The corners of Xiao Qi's robe flapped, he closed his eyes and faced the bright sunshine, like a banished fairy, like a ghost, like an expert who can't eat fireworks in the world, but every word he said hit Li Li like a thunderbolt. hollow.

"I want you to be loyal to me. From now on, you will only be used by me. When His Highness ascends the throne, I will allow you to be the four generals in front of the palace, and I will also acquit Meng Keshu in the case of the Meng family.

But listen clearly, it's me, not His Highness Jiarou. "

"Do you know what you're talking about? You're nothing more than a deputy envoy next to His Highness Jiarou, how dare you allow me this? Don't be too arrogant."

Li Kong only felt that Xiao Qi was a fool for being assassinated twice, and even regretted that he only let the gatekeeper pass to Xiao Qi.He shouldn't think that because he has friendship with Xiao Qi, he wants Xiao Qi to be a matchmaker. It's better to waste all this time and deal with His Highness Jiarou directly.

"His Royal Highness Jiarou loves me, you don't know that."

Xiao Qi stopped Li Kong's footsteps with only one sentence.

"I'm in a bad situation now, so it's up to you to hide the fact that His Highness fell off the cliff with me. But if you help me pass this test, from now on, Your Highness's power will be my power, and His Highness won't do anything. I can do it.

Think about it clearly, you carry the life of Shifang, the former captain of the Tiger Guard Camp, on your back, besides me, do you think His Highness will let you go?

Li Kong, you have no other choice. "

Xiao Qi looked at a falcon patrolling its territory in the air, watched it easily control the bird, whistled triumphantly, and went to its old nest on the cliff.

"But why are you helping me?"

Li Kongyou couldn't make up his mind, Xiao Qi only needed to exchange Shifang's life for him to conceal the matter of falling off the cliff, and the predicament of both of them would be solved by then.

Xiao Qi doesn't need to promise anything else.

What's more, he is one of the four generals who control the imperial city army and monitor the troops from all directions. He doesn't believe that Xiao Qi can fulfill his promise.

"Because you are smart enough and ruthless enough, and most importantly, you have weaknesses.

It's okay to tell you, do you know Eunuch Le? "

"How do I not know this?"

Xiao Qi turned his face sideways, the sunlight cut his face into Yin and Yang sides, he hooked the corner of the dark side's mouth, and said: "Then how can you not know, how far we eunuchs can hold the master up?
If it wasn't for the great prestige of His Highness and the separation of King Duan and His Highness, you should have discovered that the first thing you handed over is Eunuch Le's hands.

So what position do you think I will climb based on His Highness's love for me now? "

Li Kong lowered his head and looked at Xiao Qi's "Prisoner" written on the ground with his stick as a pen.

"People are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed. The so-called world and the so-called Miyagi are nothing but the four directions of heaven and earth.

One day, His Highness will find that only I can make her live a comfortable and stable life.

How can it be said that I am not a slave who wants to protect the master in this four-sided besieged city? "

Xiao Qi and Li Kong looked at each other, and saw the same madness in each other's eyes.

"Eunuch Xiao, what you said is true."

Li Kong heaved a sigh of relief, and lifted his foot to smooth the writing on the ground.

"This world is difficult, how can there be no loyal minister like Eunuch Xiao to shield His Highness from the wind and rain?"

The light clouds came out of Xiuxiu, and after a while, they condensed together, softly covering the too bright sun.

"Li Sijun is going to stay in Beijing this time. How about sending Miss Meng to the academy so that you can relax with His Highness, and then return to Beijing with His Highness. Is there someone to take care of you?"

There are many people in the capital, and the city gate is very strict. Li Kong is trying to figure out how to confuse Meng Keshu, when he hears the good news that Xiao Qi is willing to let Meng Keshu return to Beijing with Wei Huai'en's frame.

Xiao Qi handed Li Kong an immediate benefit, Li Kong had no more hesitation, he simply raised his robe and half-kneeled, bowing.

"Li Kong, I am willing to be driven by my father-in-law, to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Get up."

Xiao Qi helped him, threw him a bone whistle, and told him how to deliver the secret letter.

"Don't worry about Ms. Meng's return to the capital. Send it up the mountain one night. The female officer next to His Highness will go back to the capital immediately after receiving orders. Ms. Meng will be on top."

"Yes, yes, thank you father-in-law for your help. It's just that Shifang..."

"Shifang? Wasn't it because he captured a Beizhai man alive that he was assassinated by King Duan's mole?"

Xiao Qi gave Li Kong two names, which were the real traitors he had discovered a long time ago, and just took this opportunity to hand them over to Li Kong to eradicate them.

The best of both worlds.

"You go find a guard named Dongqing, he is my man, let him play a show with you, and get rid of those two traitors by the way."

"But aren't all the guards in the Princess Mansion from the Tiger Guards? Then why did Dongqing help conceal Shifang's real cause of death?"

Li Kong was puzzled.

"Aren't those traitors also from the Tiger Guards? Are they also willing to sell His Highness and the General's Mansion without hesitation for that little benefit? He is just a smart person like you, and he knows that the one who should really be loyal is His Highness."

Xiao Qi sneered, as if he hadn't heard such words for a long time, so he just thought it was funny.

Although Li Kong still couldn't believe that the Huwei Camp of the Xijun Army in Northwest Town, which has always been known for its strict military discipline and one-hearted unity, could accept the fact that the chief was killed by an outsider like him, but Xiao Qi obviously didn't want to confuse him anymore. .

So he had no choice but to ride down the mountain with doubts.

However, Li Kong suddenly understood the reason why Xiao Qi trusted Dongqing so much on the way back.

Shifang is dead and cannot be changed, so the post of guard commander of the Princess Mansion must be vacant.And Xiao Qi is in charge of the princess mansion's big and small affairs, isn't it easy to support a trustworthy person?

It seems that the man is still modest, he doesn't need to wait until His Highness ascends the throne before he can cover the sky with one hand, but now he can easily hold His Highness Jiarou empty.

Li Kong felt relieved, he was only glad that it was not too late for him to seek refuge in this kind of organization.

As for King Duan and the Emperor, one is a fool and the other is destined to be replaced. How can they compare to His Highness Jiarou who is soaring upwards.

a few days later.

Capital, Princess Jiafu Mansion.

When Zhao Xingde put Wei Huaining under house arrest in Lanfang Pavilion for the past few days, she couldn't sleep peacefully every night, because as long as she closed her eyes, it would be the bloody scene of people's heads rolling to the ground in the flower hall that day.

If it wasn't for Qingyun who was by her side almost every step of the way, just such a dead and silent courtyard would drive Wei Huaining, who always loves to be lively, crazy.

She was like a drowning person grabbing the only life-saving straw. Because of Qingyun's company, she was able to take a breather from the anxiety that that lunatic would break in at any time.

The other actors and male favorites she likes are either good at singing and dancing, or proficient in poetry and painting, or they can play the strings with two hands, and they will always change their tricks to please her.

But Qingyun, he's different, he doesn't know anything, and even the bed is limited by flaws, he can't compare with those male favorites who are sloppy in nature.

But after so many years, the number of people around Wei Huaining has increased and decreased, they have left and come again, she is too fond of novelty, it is rare for those actors to even stay by her side for half a year.Except Qingyun.

He was just a servant sent by the palace to support her princess when she got married. If she didn't like him, or if there were enough people in the palace, she could send him back at any time.

It's just that once he came, he never left.

The weather is fine today, Qingyun asked her to sit on the porch so that he could watch him roll up his sleeves and clean up the water hyacinth in the fish tank, so that she would not feel bored watching the fish.

He was extremely conscientious in his work, in bed as well as at other times.

Wei Huaining looked at it but started to wander.

She was thinking, if she hadn't entered the palace that day and hadn't brought Qingyun with her, would it be someone else who she saved in the end?
If it was someone else, who did she want to save?
Siyun?He sings well, maybe at this time he can sing a few lines to carry the spring away, to respond to the scene of late spring.

No, no, Wei Huaining changed his mind and thought that the courtyard is so quiet, if Siyun was here, people outside the wall would definitely hear it, and that lunatic Zhao Xingde would definitely come looking for trouble.

Then you can't make a sound, so save Lanfeng's head office.He is very good at making jokes, and once something comes to his mouth, no matter how ordinary it is, it can become interesting.With so many stories in his belly, she will definitely not be bored.

"Master, wait a little longer, it will be healed soon."

The koi in the fish tank seemed to be annoyed by Qingyun's agitation, and it flicked Qingyun's face with water with a flick of its tail.Qingyun rubbed his face against his sleeve, turned his face to Wei Huaining and raised the water hyacinth in his hand.

"Ok!"

Wei Huaining lit up his eyes almost instinctively, nodded vigorously at Qingyun, and secretly pursed his lips, laughing that his temples were thrown into the water by that fat fish.

Qingyun quickly cleaned up the fish tank, cleaned his hands and came to sit beside Wei Huaining.

"What was the master thinking just now?"

Wei Huaining met his gentle gaze, suddenly raised his arms around his neck, and buried himself in his arms.

"I was thinking, lucky to have you."

She obviously didn't think about these things, even if her hypotheses were a bit hurtful, it was nothing to her who was always outspoken.

But these few days of being trapped here seemed to make her understand for the first time how to treat the sincerity of others.

No, not others, only Qingyun.

The other male favorites are not like Qingyun, she knows that all their abilities are to get benefits from her, whether it is gold, silver, or power, in short, they will never really care that she loves this today, Loved that again tomorrow.

She doesn't love them either, just like raising a cat, a puppy, or a clever parrot, her liking is always short-lived.

But now she understands how good Qingyun treats her.She even felt that what she just thought was nonsense, even if she saved others, they would not be willing to stand by her side like Qingyun, a fallen princess.

"Did I treat you too badly before..."

Wei Huaining hugged his somewhat thin waist, rubbing his hands, she vaguely remembered that he was not so thin before.

Qingyun hugged her back, wrapped her arms around her back, and gently pressed the back of her neck with the other to calm her flustered heart.

"Master, stop thinking about it, the slave will not go anywhere, don't worry, don't worry."

Wei Huaining actually didn't want to hear his loyal answer, even though his answer couldn't find a single flaw.

So she asked: "Don't you blame me for always ignoring you before? If it wasn't for entering the palace, I could only take you with me, maybe I wouldn't be able to save you in time."

Qingyun froze for a moment, then used some strength to hug her even tighter.

There was regret in her words that she didn't even notice, but he caught it.

Enough is enough, he has been looking up at the back, and now he is finally willing to look back at him.

 Qingyun: Who is not selfish?

  I also have selfishness, I want comments and votes, woo woo woo
