When Wang Qi was dragged and thrown at the foot of Zhongli Mountain, he was still screaming for injustice.

"I am wronged! Master, I am really wronged! I was framed by traitors! I am loyal to Qingping Mountain, and I have never thought of betrayal!" Because of the heavy ties on his body, Wang Qi couldn't get up on the ground, so he could only wriggle towards Zhongli Mountain. He stepped closer, but was kicked away by Zhong Lishan, this kick was so hard that his mouth was bleeding.

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, so why do you have to argue?" Zhong Lishan was furious, the way he looked at Wang Qi was obviously looking at a dead person, as long as he thought that this person was the one who caused Gan'er, he would want to peel him off and cramp .Zhong Lishan pointed to the two middle-aged men dressed as farmers standing under the hall, "During the few days when the envoy from Liangzhou was in the mountains, you took advantage of the night to communicate with him in private, thinking you weren't seen?"

Wang Qi was so intimidated by Zhonglishan's murderous aura that he shivered. When he first came to Qingpingshan, it happened just in time for Mrs. Zhongli's death. Zhonglishan was depressed because of the death of his wife. Said that he had never paid attention to the real master of Qingping Mountain, until now, in the dim light of the room full of torches, facing this man who looked like a ghost from hell, he clearly realized for the first time It turns out that this Qingping Mountain is a den of bandits who kill without blinking an eye, and none of the bandits inside is good. In the ground under their feet, there are countless bones and carrion buried.

"I was wronged, I was really wronged..." Wang Qi seemed to be able to say only this sentence, but if you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are constantly looking around, as if looking for something.

Ling Xun was originally sitting on Zhonglishan's side, seeing him like this, he suddenly felt bad, and sure enough, when his eyes fell on him, his eyes suddenly narrowed, flashing a venomous edge.

"Okay, you said you were wronged, so what is this letter found in your room?" Zhong Lishan sneered and took out a few sheets of paper full of words from the table, unfolded it and ordered someone to read it out in class.The mountain bandits only listened to a few words, and they all showed horror and anger. It turned out that this was a secret letter to surrender to Liangzhou. In order to provide information when Liangzhou soldiers capture Qingping Mountain in the future.

"Slander! Absolutely slander! I didn't write this letter! You forged my handwriting by relying on your mastery of sorcery!" Wang Qi's face turned green and white, and he suddenly raised his head to stare at Ling Xun, and said hoarsely: "It's you! You clearly know that I am working for the second head of Wu, but you let people frame me as a collaborator with foreign enemies to murder the young master. You really want to punish me! What do you want to do? You want to provoke the relationship between the two heads, so that you can catch the fisherman... "

Before the word "利" was finished, Wang Qi kicked Zhong Lishan again, with a thud, he spit out two teeth.

"What are you, you dare to involve the second leader!" Zhong Lishan was so angry that he almost killed Wang Qi with a knife.

At this moment, Wu Qing rushed over upon hearing the news, glanced at Wang Qi, and then at Zhongli Shan, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.As soon as Wang Qi heard that the second master was coming, he suddenly seemed to see a savior, and he didn't care about his teeth being knocked out, so he crawled desperately to his feet, crying while crawling: "Second master, second master, you have to make decisions for the little one!" , small injustice..."

Seeing Wang Qi's bloodstained face and describing it as tragic, Wu Qing couldn't help frowning slightly, and hid aside in disgust, but she still walked up to Zhong Lishan and said, "Beating a dog depends on the owner. Wang Qi is mine. The head of the family said He is the traitor who colluded with Liangzhou, do you have evidence?"

Zhong Lishan began to feel a headache again, he just didn't want Wu Qing to be involved, so when Wang Qi mentioned him, he wished he could kill him to make it clear, but he didn't expect that Wu Qing didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all, insisted on Stir this muddy water.

What is Wang Qi?It's just a villain who is following the trend, why bother to mess with this body?

"Look for yourself. These two people saw him privately meet with the Liangzhou envoy, and this letter. When I ordered someone to search his residence, he was burning the letter paper. This is the last one left."

I don't know if it was because of the light problem, Wu Qing's face was a little pale, he walked forward slowly, took the letter and glanced at it, then looked coldly at the two farmers standing beside him.

The two farmers were so frightened that they all retreated, not even daring to breathe.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Wu Qing asked softly.

"Yes... yes." The farmers' voices became smaller and smaller. They were just ordinary farmers at the foot of Qingping Mountain.

"Second leader, I am really wronged. I am loyal to you, you must be the master for me! Don't let those evil villains succeed!" Wang Qi's teeth leaked, the more he talked, the more he spoke, and he made up his mind that Wu Qing would definitely do it. protect him.He knew that Wu Qing and Feng Wuge were incompatible, and he still needed him to advise him and do some unscrupulous deeds. How could he die so easily?When he escapes this catastrophe, he must make that Feng look good!

Wang Qi was still thinking about it, but suddenly he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, and suddenly his neck felt cold. When he widened his eyes in surprise, the sky and the ground suddenly turned around, and he saw the scar on his neck the size of a bowl. Hot blood was gurgling out.

"Wu Qing! What are you doing!" Zhong Lishan shouted angrily.

Wu Qing held the saber he had just snatched from the middle of Zhongli Mountain, and stood beside the headless Wang Qi, half of his robe was splattered with blood, and even his clean and frail face was stained with blood spots, which made his complexion even more beautiful Pale as paper.

"Isn't the head of the family complete with evidence? This person is collaborating with the enemy and traitor. According to Qingpingshan's rules, he should be beheaded for public display. I killed the traitor, and the head of the family is not satisfied?" Wu Qing stared straight into Zhong Lishan's eyes when he spoke, until the end Suddenly he laughed softly, "Or is it that the head of the family thinks that Wang Qi has another mastermind behind him, and wants to tie me up for interrogation?"

"Second leader! What did you say? How could the first leader suspect you?" All the bandits in Qingping Mountain rushed forward to appease you.

"Ah Qing..." Zhong Lishan frowned, took a deep breath, and finally stopped talking.

Wu Qing took one last look at Zhong Lishan, threw the knife with a clang, hooked the corners of his lips, and flung his sleeves away under everyone's gaze.

Zhong Lishan slumped back to the main seat, rubbing his temples, feeling tired again.Every time he faced Wu Qing, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.He is not ignorant of Wu Qing's feelings for him, but he has always regarded him as a brother, so how could he respond?Seeing his eccentric and paranoid personality day after day, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Let's all go away. Since the collaborators have been executed, this matter will come to an end."

All the mountain bandits obeyed the order and dispersed one after another. Some people stepped forward to collect Wang Qi's body and clean up the aftermath.Seeing Zhong Lishan pressing his temples impatiently, Ling Xun seemed to be suffering from a headache, and wanted to ask a few questions, but was held back by Mu Jiu.

When Ling Xun turned his head, Mu Jiu shook his head slowly at him, meaning that he should not go to Zhong Lishan at this time and let him be alone for a while, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Is Wang Qi the one who murdered Gan'er?" Ling Xun asked Mu Jiu after returning to his courtyard. "Why do I always feel that this matter is strange?"

Mu Jiudao: "The lord didn't find those two farmers himself? Why do you still have doubts?"

Ling Xun shook his head, "I don't know, but judging from that letter, there is still a big problem. Since he let poisonous snakes harm Gan'er, it means that he had colluded with Liangzhou at that time. But since he is already from Liangzhou People, why do you still have a letter of surrender? The envoy from Liangzhou came, shouldn’t he act more carefully to avoid suspicion, how could he risk being found out and communicate with the envoy in private? Now it seems that it is After the Liangzhou envoy came, he tried to express his heart of surrender to him, and wrote a letter but had not had time to send it."

Mu Jiu heard Ling Xun's doubts in his heart, but he didn't respond immediately. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying: "He is not a clean person after all, and he deserves to die."

Ling Xun thought about it, and then felt that maybe he was thinking too much. Wang Qi was ambitious, limited in talent, and dirty in heart.

"But that Wu Qing, I've been getting more and more worried about him recently. In fact, I've always had something about him stuck in my heart, and I don't know whether I should tell Brother Zhongli or not."

Mu Jiu raised his head to look at Ling Xun with doubts on his face.

"At the beginning, I was kidnapped by Sun Lang to the capital, and because I didn't want to work for Qin Chao, I was sent to prison. I met Zhong Lishan and others who were also in prison. They were all waiting for the autumn queen to be killed, but they were not in a hurry , said that when the day of execution came, brothers from Qingpingshan would come to meet him. Unfortunately, just as the day of execution was approaching, Liangzhou raised troops and the Nine Cities were sealed off. The people from the building robbed them out."

Mu Jiu nodded: "I have heard about this incident. I was not in the capital at the time, so I only greeted Jinyan in advance and asked him to help you as much as possible."

Ling Xun really wanted to ask Mu Jiu, did he have the idea to help him at that time, otherwise why would he help him?It's a pity that he didn't know the details of Mu Jiu at the beginning, so he didn't dare to entrust him with all his heart. After robbing the dharma field, he didn't go directly to Mu's residence to take refuge, but went out of the city directly. It was also a glimpse at the gate of the city. heartbeat.

At that time, I didn't expect that the two would have the relationship they have today.

"Later, Zhong Lishan and I fled back to Qingping Mountain. The first time I saw Wu Qing, he was so excited to see Zhong Lishan come back that he wept bitterly. He repeatedly accused him of not being able to rescue him in time because the capital was closed. But I I feel that there are some problems here. Shouldn’t the plan be started several months ago for such a major event as robbery? Even if they are afraid of entering and exiting the capital as bandits and causing suspicion, they should have at least half a month to prepare in the city. When the city closure order was issued, there were only three to five days before the execution day of Zhong Lishan and others, but none of them came. Could it be that there was no city closure order, and they would not enter the city until the execution day?"

"So my lord thinks that Wu Qing didn't intend to rescue Lord Zhongli at all?"

Ling Xun was also in a state of confusion, "I'm not sure either. You can see that Wu Qing's feelings for Zhonglishan don't seem to be fake. How could he want Zhonglishan to die?"

Before Mu Jiu could answer in time, he heard a loud bang, and the whole Qingping Mountain seemed to be shaken by it.

"What's the matter?" Ling Xun was surprised.

Mu Jiu looked out of the window, and the candlelight in the room shimmered in the depths of his quiet and dark eyes.

"Liangzhou soldiers have begun to attack Hanzhong." He said lightly.

There were several knocks on the door, and the little Tonger came in with a food box. As usual, it was the night food that was delivered every night.
