Si Tian Guan

Qu Shenzhou signaled Liu Chongming to go back to the bedroom with his eyes, and then invited Jiang Xingzhi to go outside the Chuihua Gate.

The lotus is in full bloom in the pond, and the dark water below cannot be seen, only the sound of frightened frogs falling into the water can be heard.

The two sat down opposite each other in the pavilion in the pool, and there was no need for any ostentation of tea and wine.

"I only thought you were extremely smart, but I didn't expect that you could still use me." Jiang Xingzhi sneered softly.

"Excellent reputation, it is my dereliction of duty to put someone like Jiang Sichen on the bench. If it weren't for you, we would still be going around in circles."

"If you tell me such a secret inside story, you won't be afraid that I will take it out and take all of you together?"

"They are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Once they are set on fire, Jiang Sichen will be familiar with them much faster than us." Qu Chenzhou laughed off his threat, and stopped talking nonsense to him: "I want it." What about things?"

Jiang Xingzhi fumbled in his arms, and threw a booklet on the stone table.

Qu Shenzhou looked at the lanterns hanging by the eaves and pillars, flipping through the pages.

Jiang Xingzhi also followed, leaning on one side, and said casually: "At the end of this month, Ren Rui and Liao Guangming will leave camp and go to Los Angeles. If you want Ren Rui to catch up with this year's autumn hunting, you have to hurry up. You can't be in Los Angeles. The city has been delayed for too long."

"I can't adjust Ren Rui here," Qu Chenzhou didn't look up: "You urge me, Ren Rui must go during the autumn hunting."

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Xingzhi couldn't help asking. He has always led others, and he has never been led away like this. Although the other party promised to let him achieve his goal, the taste of emptiness is not very good.

"Everyone takes what they need, Ren Rui is indispensable if you want to achieve your goal."

Jiang Xingzhi's heart moved slightly, his eyes glanced in the direction of the inner courtyard inadvertently, and he turned his head to look at the page turned in Qu Shenzhou's hand.

"Mu Jingde's side, I'm watching, Ren Rui has limited troops to bring out this time, give Liao Guangming more chances of winning, what about King Ning's side?"

If you want a quick solution to the bandit suppression in Luo City, it is best to have King Ning step in.

After King Ning was designed to make a bet, Tang Shizhong got the news immediately.

The emperor didn't say anything, and Tang Shizhong and the queen couldn't take King Ning to apologize, but King Ning was scolded in private, so he dared not make any more noise. The courtyard suffers.

Qu Shenzhou's gaze flicked ten lines on the paper, and he tried his best to write down the current arrangement of King Qi's movable hands, while answering Jiang Xingzhi's words.

"Ning Wang's kind of trash can only do bad things, and Tang Shizhong knows what to do."

"Jinxiuying is a piece of fat. In order to fight for a piece of military power for King Ning, he has had conflicts with Liao Guangming all these years."

"Liao Guangming's position is vacant, and everyone is happy to hear it. They are counting on the emperor's mercy to fall on their heads."

"You also have a few words with Mu Jingde, so that Ren Rui doesn't have to fight in this place, protect him, and keep Ren Rui when he is in Qiushou."

Jiang Xingzhi wrote it down silently.

Qu Chenzhou flipped through the booklet again, and was memorizing it silently. He didn't want to disturb him until the booklet was handed back, and he couldn't help asking: "Qu Chenzhou, who are you?"

He was originally concentrating on his own affairs, so he was not good at poaching people's backgrounds, but this person in front of him was really strange, and he was so familiar with everyone and everything in the court that it made him feel scared.

It couldn't be taught by Liu Chongming, Shizi himself probably didn't see it so thoroughly.

He couldn't figure out what kind of monster Liu Chongming had raised.

Qu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled at him: "I remember, in the agreement between us, I have no obligation to answer you."

"Then our agreement..." Jiang Xingzhi guessed that there would be no answer, and he didn't care. He stuffed the booklet into his arms and didn't leave immediately: "Does the prince know?"

He asked this knowingly.

If Liu Chongming knew, Qu Shenzhou didn't have to come to him in private.

Qu Chenzhou looked at him quietly: "Jiang Xingzhi, don't forget, the person who can help you is me."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Shizi, I am useful to you, and you are also useful to me, I don't have to offend you for Shizi."

Jiang Xingzhi glanced at the direction of the hanging flower door. The candle in the bedroom had not been extinguished, and he could see a faint light at the hanging flower door.

"I'm just curious, Shizi trusts you to protect you, why do you do this in private?"

Qu Chenzhou smiled, and asked him back: "Mu Jingde trusts you to protect you, but you still come to us in private, why on earth?"

The two of them were not speculative and stopped talking.

Jiang Xingzhi bowed his hands and left.

Qu Chenzhou sent him to the gate of the corner gate, stopped him suddenly, and said softly: "Jiang Xingzhi, you came to me, and you always asked about Mu Jingde's hexagrams, why didn't you ask yourself?"

Jiang Xingzhi paused at the threshold, turned around and said with a smile, "Me? The worst is death. As long as you help me get the result, what does life and death matter?"

"Why don't you care?" Qu Chenzhou asked: "For Jing Chen, don't you want to live?"

Jiang Xingzhi suddenly sneered: "Qu Chenzhou, you impress me? I thought that a cold-blooded and cold-hearted person like you would not worry about life and death."

Qu Chenzhou also smiled: "Occasionally."

Maybe it's because no one has ever asked this question before, and no one has ever wanted to know the answer. After Jiang Xingzhi smiled for a while, he gradually calmed down and answered the question seriously.

"Jing Chen... is my noble man. Without him, I wouldn't have the strength to survive until now."

"However, he is the bright moon, and I am the dust. I am afraid that is all there is between us."

"Qu Chenzhou, if you were given two choices - one is to give up hatred for love, and the other is to give up love for hatred, which one would you choose?"

"So you chose the latter, right?" Qu Chenzhou asked.

Jiang Xingzhi's eyes fell on the swaying shadow under his feet, and he didn't deny it, but said: "We are the same kind of people, if it were you, you would choose the same way."

"If it was before, I would indeed," Qu Chenzhou pushed open the corner door and sent him out: "But now, I won't."

Jiang Xingzhi was a little stunned. Judging from his contact these days, he didn't think Qu Shenzhou would choose the former.

"why?"

"Because I have someone I want to protect, so... I can give up both love and hatred."

Jiang Xingzhi didn't expect him to give such an answer, thought for a long time, and bowed to him.

"I can not do it."

Jiang Xingzhi had gone away, but Qu Shenzhou still stood at the threshold for a long time before walking back slowly.

Liu Chongming had already been waiting in the corridor outside the bedroom door, shaking off a cloak to welcome down the steps.

"The matter with King Qi is very troublesome? After talking for so long?"

Qu Chenzhou was wrapped and brought back into the room, sat down beside the bed, and hummed lightly.

Liu Chongming saw that he was thoughtful, as if he had something on his mind, so he did it himself, took off his outer robe, and stuffed him into the quilt.

"Is there something tricky, do you need my help?"

Qu Shenzhou shook his head.

"Who do you want to use, take your waist card to adjust, what else do you want, just tell me."

"What if the prince is used?" Qu Chenzhou raised his head and asked.

Liu Chongming laughed: "This is the best thing to do, you don't even need a waist card, just open your mouth. It's late at night, go to bed first."

Qu Chenzhou grabbed the corner of his clothes and refused to let him go.

"Can't sleep."

Liu Chongming lifted the quilt and squeezed in too - in fact, he couldn't sleep at all, but fortunately, the two of us can be together, so we don't feel lonely.

The two of them just watched the moonlight move westward through the window. After a long time, Qu Chenzhou took the initiative to ask, "Why don't you ask King Qi if there is any news?"

"Didn't you say it before? I'll leave it to you to take care of it, don't you want me to ask?" Liu Chongming turned sideways and touched the top of his head: "You said let me focus on Pan He and open up the relationship between Jinxiu Camp. The emperor has to take care of it too, I'm so busy—what's the trouble?"

"There is no trouble. Everything is going well with Jiang Xingzhi. After all, King Qi is used to relying on him." Qu Chenzhou tilted his head and leaned over: "On the Shizi's side, have you thought about what to do? If it is really the worst What's the situation?"

In the worst case, the two people that Pan He had concealed were really gone.

In one grass replacement a year, two are missing.

In this case, there is only one way for Liu Chongming to return to the emperor with the most beautiful posture and take a step forward.

Or it should be said that since Yu Dexi said the words "Bingdilian" to Liu Chongming, there was a ravine in front of Liu Chongming.

If in the past, Liao Guangming held on to Pan He, Liu Chongming might still pretend that he didn't know anything. At most, he would just spend more time, take more detours, and go around.

But now that Pan He is in his hands, if Liu Chongming backs down again, in the eyes of the emperor, there is only one possibility—Liu Chongming already knows, and knows the emperor's most secret that cannot be revealed to the public.

Or use innocent flesh and blood to fill out a way forward.

Either step on the ground and fall down.

By that time, Liu Chongming might end up worse than Pan He today.

At that time, even if the Liu family offered Liu Chongming's life, it might not be able to calm down the turmoil.

There is only one road left.

"One will be successful and all bones will be destroyed..." Liu Chongming spread his palms on the brocade quilt, stared at the hand that fell in, slowly clenched it tightly, and said in a low voice: "Shen Zhou, I don't know what others will say in the future. , but I decided to do it."

Even if you want to become an extremely evil person, you have to raise your butcher knife to women and children who have no resistance.

Qu Shenzhou turned his hands over and clasped his fingers, his voice was difficult.

"Chongming, I'm sorry... If I had known that things would develop to the present situation..."

He has never been on a battlefield, and he doesn't know how to kill people on the battlefield, but he understands the taste of killing better than anyone else. A living person is wrapped in sticky blood and turns into a pile of dead meat.

Fear and nausea are frightening and insane.

Back then, he watched with his own eyes the people in front of the Zhonghe Palace burst into flesh and blood under the rain of arrows, and when they couldn't get sick, they couldn't help vomiting no matter what they stuffed into their mouths.

But this time, Liu Chongming shouldered the burden.

"What nonsense."

Liu Chongming's tone is still gentle, those days and nights of torment seem to have never existed, and they will not reveal half of them in front of people.

"You have done your best, other things should be mine."

Liu Chongming counted Qu Shenzhou's fingers one by one, and felt that as long as he had the warmth of the touch, he would be able to move forward on this road where he couldn't see clearly, without looking around in a daze.

"Shen Zhou, I've thought about it many times, why Eunuch Yu suddenly mentioned Bing Tilian to me at that joint."

Qu Chenzhou thought about "that joint" carefully, Pan He had already committed a crime, and that day, Chongming went to the palace and reported to the emperor the money that Pan He had put in the fleet.

He had never thought about this detail before, but now he was reminded by Liu Chongming, so he grasped that tiny reason.

"Accounts..."

"Yes, the account. Since I submitted the account, the emperor knew that I had swallowed Pan He's money." Liu Chongming stared out the window, it was the darkest time before dawn.

"No matter how greedy Pan He is, he shouldn't have so much money. The money was originally allocated to him by the emperor to support those sins and have children."

"More than that," Qu Shenzhou added for him: "There are also people who go out every year to find people."

Liu Chongming nodded and smiled.

"The Liu family has always been the emperor's hope to be in his hands. Now that there is finally a greedy Liu Chongming, the emperor must be very happy. Is this the price of greed? Shen Zhou, if I become a villain in the future man of……"

"No!" Qu Chenzhou suddenly raised his head and kissed his lips: "With me here, I won't let you..."

"It's good to have you here." Liu Chongming leaned over and pressed the man back to the pillow: "As long as you are here, I will not be afraid of anything."

The author has something to say: what emmm said yesterday about taking off the vest voluntarily is not quite accurate, it should be said that Chongming wanted to pick it up, but he couldn’t hide it, so it’s better to take it off, so of course Chongming remembered it! !
