my wife, my wife, my wife

In the palace, no matter whether it is the officials working in the palace or the servants who serve others, since the night before, everyone has been in fear.

Why is this?

The reason was that Qiang City was destroyed and the news that the entire city was slaughtered reached the emperor's ears the night before. After the emperor heard the news, he immediately became furious.

That night, the big bell outside the court rang thunderously throughout the capital, and all the officials who heard the bell changed their colors.

The big bell outside the court hall has not sounded for nearly 30 years. Once it rings, something big must have happened.

In less than half an hour, the officials who usually walked with a dignified posture rushed into the palace in a panic.

Upon receiving the news that Qiang City had been massacred, some officials had some feelings for Qiang City, and tears rolled down their chests.And those who are not familiar with Qiang City, either put on a sad look and bowed their heads in silence, or cursed angrily with red faces.

The whole court hall was full of commotion, the emperor who had a gloomy face yelled angrily for this, so all the officials fell to their knees in silence.

The emperor was extremely angry about the massacre of Qiang City, but he didn't want to be discussing countermeasures with all the officials when another news came up—the northern massacre of Tianyu City.

The Emperor's dragon body has been slightly ill these days, and the news of the slaughter of Qiang City has already made him angry, but as soon as the news of the slaughter of Tianyu City came, he spit out a mouthful of blood in front of all civil and military officials. Passed out under the dragon chair.

……

The Great Ying Dynasty has been unstable in recent years, but fortunately, according to the national strength of the Great Ying Dynasty, it is not enough to fear those small countries on the border. It was only the year before last that Chen Guo, who was slightly inferior to the Great Ying Dynasty, also began to settle in Longzhou. The frequent actions in the area made Da Yingchao feel a sense of crisis. Fortunately, Chen Guo was not determined to fight for a long time. After the defeat, he withdrew from Longzhou and returned to Chen Guo.

When he first saw Chen Guo like this, the emperor doubted Chen Guo's motives. He believed that Chen Guo's seemingly ineffective action last year was aimed at provocation, and it was also a disguised "war in the afternoon".But after Chen Guo withdrew, he kept letting the spies watch Chen Guo, and the left minister Fang Minzhi also started to make moves.

After Chen Tianmu, the general of Chen Guo Zhen Guo, was defeated and returned to the country, the spies listened to Fang Min's order and began to provoke some courtiers of Chen Guo to target Chen Tianmu.Chen Tianmu has power all over the world in Chen Guo, how can those few courtiers shake Chen Tianmu in the slightest?But Dafang Minzhi's purpose is not here, his purpose is——

The little emperor of Chen Guo ascended to the throne thanks to Chen Tianmu's power, although the little emperor was grateful, but he must have a grudge and a defensive heart.

Fang Minzhi is a sinister person, how to provoke the young emperor of Chen Guo to choose Chen Tianmu's method, the reason is that he was not able to see with his own eyes how his family seized power from the powerful Prince Kang, nor did he choose Chen Tianmu's method Seeing the fate of Prince Kang with his own eyes, he wanted to reproduce his own emperor's "Road to Power".

After the news that came back in the past few months, the young emperor of Chen Guo really became dissatisfied with Chen Tianmu as he expected. Not long ago, Chen Tianmu broke down in the court hall of Chen Guo and left the court alone...

Before Qiang City and Tianyu City were slaughtered, Fang Minzhi was not completely ignorant.

Fang Minzhi burned the secret letter that was sent back, and at the same time had someone secretly kill the spies who sent back the message.Looking at the 'Seven Buds' flower sent by Wu Qi, he said softly, "My son suffered in the previous life, and the father in this life will definitely get it back for you."

Playing with the emperor of a country, and even playing with the country's future, in today's world, only one person, Du Fangmin, would dare to do it.

Arrogant minister?Traitor? ...Fang Minzhi sneered.

……

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and Wu Qi, who was standing in front of the painting table and taught the eleven princes to paint, raised his head unhurriedly.

The Xiaogui who walked in looked at him with a pale face, and then waved to the eleventh prince, "Ruier, come here."

Seeing this, the eleventh prince hurried over.

After Xiaogui knelt down and picked him up, he said softly to Wu Qi: "A quarter of a hour."

Wu Qi's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands calmly and thanked: "Thank you, Xiaogui."

"As soon as Maoshi arrives, someone will come to meet him, Mr. Qi..." Xiaogui looked at him and hesitated to speak, and finally pursed his lips and said, "Please be more careful" and hugged the eleventh prince's head. I went back and left.

Wu Qi slowly withdrew his hand, looked down at the unfinished painting on the painting table and was silent for a while, when he raised his head, his eyes were completely cold.

……

It's a moment in the unitary hour.

As Xiaogui said, the Winter Jubilee Palace is here.

"Who is Li Yunqi?" The prince of the Winter Jubilee Palace stood in front of the door of the painting workshop, with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over everyone arrogantly.

Li Yunqi's eyes lit up, he walked over in three steps at a time, cupped his hands in confusion and said, "The villain is Li Yunqi, I don't know if this is your father-in-law?"

Wang Gonggong raised his eyebrows, looked at him for a while, and then nodded: "This father-in-law is the prince of the Dongxi Palace. Concubine Donggui heard that there was a painter named Li in the palace, so I asked this father-in-law to invite Li to come to Dongxi Palace. The palace made a painting for Concubine Dong."

Li Yunqi was overjoyed when he heard that, "This..."

Before Wang Gonggong came, he knew that he was the right minister Shiji. Seeing him so unrestrained, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart, "Pack up your things quickly and follow me, Concubine Dong is still waiting."

Li Yunqi excitedly began to pack up the things needed for painting, seeing Qi Wuqi walking in from the door, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly at him.

Wu Qi lowered his eyes as if he didn't see it, and after saluting the prince and father beside him, he went back to his studio on his own.

……

As soon as Eunuch Wang left with Li Yunqi, Qi Wuqi was called over by Master Zhang.

Zhang painter's office.

As soon as Wu Qi came out after changing his clothes, Master Zhang walked up to him and said in a low voice, "You must come back before [-] o'clock, otherwise something bad will happen."

Wu Qi nodded, "Painter Zhang, don't worry.

"follow me."

Painter Zhang led him around the backyard door of the workshop, carefully opened the door and stretched out his head to look around. Seeing Eunuch Sun waiting outside, he waved to him.

Seeing this, Eunuch Sun walked over quickly, and when he saw Wu Qi, he saluted him slightly and said softly: "Please follow the old slave, sir, and don't raise your head no matter who you meet or what happens along the way."

"Wu Xiu understands, I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch." Wu Qi thanked him in a deep voice.

……

The harem is huge, and it took more than half an hour to walk from the painting workshop to the Winter Palace.I met a lot of people along the way, Eunuch Sun was an old man in the palace, and the other servants had no choice but to bend over and bow their heads when they saw him.

Panting slightly, Wu Qi raised his head and looked at the Winter Jubilee Palace in front of him, thinking that the woman was inside, his nervous heartbeat gradually subsided.

——Concubine Dong!In the previous life, you made Qinglu crippled and suffered day and night. Although you haven't done anything in this life, you have the heart to murder Qinglu. If I don't kill you, you will attack Qinglu again sooner or later.Concubine Dong, don't blame me, Qi Wuqi, for not being able to tolerate you!

81 chapter

The rainwater from the eaves dripped down in strings and fell onto the stone steps on the ground, splashing in all directions.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Bao Dan, who had been staring at the sky under the eaves, suddenly stood up and rushed over in the rain.

Shuangdie Shuangyan in the house also heard the knock on the door, and when they ran out of the house, they happened to see Baodan open the door.

Bao Dan was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming, and immediately opened his eyes wide.

I saw a black-haired man in black clothes standing outside the courtyard gate with an umbrella and a smile on his mouth. The cold wind and rain fell on the hem of his clothes, and the sleeves fluttered with the wind. The umbrella reflected an inhuman charm.

"you you you……"

People outside the door are not surprised to see Baodan, although he has not been out in the palace these days, how could he not know about people and things related to Wuqi?Seeing Baodan staring at him in a daze, a pair of black pupils reflected under the thick eyelashes, his smile became more and more seductive.

Bao Dan was caught by that glaring gaze, and stood in a daze within the threshold, unable to close his mouth. When he came back to his senses, the man had already entered the courtyard.

"Shuangdie (Shuangyan) has met the prince." The two girls under the eaves politely bowed to the person.

Ying Qinglu nodded, "Where's your son?"

Fufushen with double discs, "Go back to the lord, my son is on duty in the palace and has not come back yet."

Ying Qinglu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and before he could ask why, Duan Jing, who was drenched by the rain, leaped in from outside the courtyard.Seeing his master, he quickly walked up to him and knelt straight on the ground, his originally expressionless face was now full of color.

Duan Jing's kneeling caused Ying Qinglu's expression to change.

Duan Jing has been by his side for many years, thus avoiding the etiquette of kneeling. Over the years, the number of times Duan Jing has knelt by himself can be counted on the fingers, and today is one of them!

Kneeling in the rain, Duan Jing clenched his sword tightly and remained silent for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice: "Qiang City, Tianyu was slaughtered."

Ying Qinglu felt a sledgehammer hanging on his heart, and the umbrella in his hand rolled down to the stone steps under the eaves.

He opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make any sound.

There are two bells in the palace, one is the court bell for urgent recruitment of officials, and the other is the death bell for the emperor's death.

Combined with the memory in the dream, he knew that the bell was definitely not the death knell of the emperor's death, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew why the bell rang.

Although I have already experienced this, but hearing this with my own ears, my state of mind is different.

In my previous life, I never went to the battlefield, let alone get close to those soldiers, those civilians, but in this life...

Closing his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the scene after the massacre of the city. A gust of chill spread from his heart to his limbs, and he felt icy cold.

The Shuangdie and Shuangyan on the side were all red-eyed when they heard the news of the slaughter of Qiang City and Tianyu City, especially Bao Dan, who was still walking back in the rain, seemed stupid when he heard the news of the slaughter of Qiang City Generally standing motionless in the rain.

Quwu is less than three hundred miles away from the Qiang City, and the Qiang City was slaughtered. Isn't that Quwu...

"Big Mother!" Baodan turned and ran after recovering

"Baby Egg? Where are you going, Baodan? Baodan..." Seeing this, Shuangdie and Shuangyan chased after her.

After the three of them ran out, Ying Qinglu finally recovered his voice.

"That's why the bell rang last night?"

Duan Jing bowed his head and remained silent.

"When did you get the news, and why did you report it now?"

"Last night, master was inconvenient."

"..."

After watching him for a while, Ying Qinglu finally looked up at the sky expressionlessly. This autumn rain started ten days ago and has not stopped for a moment until today...

In the past life, where is the self at this time?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a silent smile.

"Baby, listen to me, what's the use of you going back alone? From here to Quwu, there are thousands of miles to go... With your own strength, it's too late to say something else when you go back, and if you meet someone along the way What are you going to do with bandits? You go back with us, and when the young master comes back from the palace..."

The voice of Shuangdie persuading Bao Dan came from outside the courtyard, Ying Qinglu seemed to have thought of something, and his smile froze.

……

Two cities were slaughtered, the situation in the previous dynasty was tense, the emperor was critically ill, and the women in the harem no longer laughed and compared each other like they used to.Because they knew in their hearts that if something happened to the emperor, some of them would end badly.

The huge harem was silent, and everyone was taut and dared not make the slightest mistake.

In front of the gate of the Winter Jubilee Palace, Qi Wuqi stood motionless with his head lowered and his eyes fixed on his nose and heart.

Generally speaking, there are three doors, the outside, the middle, and the inside, where a woman lives in a wealthy mansion. Strangers can only say that it is even more difficult to get in, let alone the place where the concubine lives in the harem.

Wu Qi is very lucky, thankful that someone can help him, if he were to rely on him alone, it would take countless energy and time to enter the inner courtyard of the Winter Jubilee Palace...

"cough."

Hearing the sound, Wu Qi raised his head and saw Eunuch Sun walking out of the Winter Palace with a person.

Eunuch Sun looked around, saw no one around, and quickly said in a low voice: "He is the left minister, Jia Chun, Eunuch Jia."

After Eunuch Sun finished speaking, Jia Chun, who was standing behind him, waved to Wu Qi, "Follow the slaves in."

Wu Qi suppressed the tension in his heart, thanked Eunuch Sun in a low voice, and followed him into the gate of the Winter Palace.

……

There are three noble concubines in the harem, among which Dong Guifei lives in the Winter Jubilee Palace.

Concubine Dong was born to have a son and a daughter, the son is the seventh prince of the current dynasty, and the daughter is the second princess of the current dynasty.The second princess has already recruited a consort, and the seventh prince Ying Qihan also appointed the king last year to build a mansion.

Concubine Dong Gui is quiet, dignified, well-educated, and doesn't like to fight for the limelight. She is kind to the servants in the palace, punishes them lightly and rewards them heavily. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a good master who is easy to get close to.

She is such a good master, but who knows that her appearance is inconsistent?

Seeing the woman lying sideways on the soft chair in the distance eating the pastries presented by Eunuch Jia, Wu Qi lowered his head with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just after three o'clock in the unitary hour, Dong Guifei, who was sitting on the soft chair, stood up and walked towards Li Yunqi who was painting. Seeing this, Li Yunqi bowed and stepped aside.

Wu Qi was far away, so he couldn't hear what the two were talking about, only Concubine Dong picked up the millstone and sprinkled the ink inside on the painting, and then Li Yunqi knelt on the ground in fright.

She took a look at Li Yunqi, and finally left without saying anything while being served by Eunuch Jia.

Just after the fifth quarter of the You hour, with the panicked screams of Eunuch Jia, the Dongxi Palace was in chaos.

because……

Concubine Dong Gui disappeared out of thin air.

……

At the seven quarters of the unitary hour, before half a cup of tea at the hour of Mao, someone knocked lightly on the back door of the painting workshop.

Painter Zhang, who had been waiting inside, opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming.

Without saying a word, the two rushed to Master Zhang's painting office. Just as Wu Qi changed his clothes and sat down in front of the painting table to pick up a brush, Zhao He came.

"Master Zhao, why are you here?" Painter Zhang, who was washing his brushes, looked at the visitor with a cold face and displeasure.

Painter Zhang is the most experienced painter in the painting workshop. He has a taboo in painting. When he is painting in the painting workshop without his permission, no one can easily disturb him, but... Zhao He is an exception. Who is called an official? Big class crushes people, doesn't it?

It was rare for Zhao He to pay attention to this weird person, so he simply said to Wu Qi as if he hadn't heard it: "The eleventh prince is here."

82 chapter

The imperial palaces built in the past dynasties all have secret passages, which extend in all directions. Its existence and function are known to be of great use without elaborating on it.

It stands to reason that there are no more than three people who know the opening of the secret passage of the imperial palace and have a connection with the secret passage of the imperial palace.Apart from the emperor, it is the knowledge of the informant who is extremely trusted by the emperor and delivers the news for the emperor's secrets, but——

Looking at the map in his hand, Wu Qi felt very complicated. He never thought that his godfather would have a map of the secret passages of the palace, and it was because of it that he easily robbed Concubine Dong in the Dongxi Palace where there were many servants. out.

Walk slowly to the incense burner, uncover the lid, put it in, and then cover it again. After a while, thick smoke comes out through the lid eye of the incense burner.Seeing that it was almost done, he opened the lid of the censer to check again, and saw that the paper on which the map of the palace was drawn had burned completely, so he closed the lid again.

The palace was already in panic because of the emperor's serious illness, and the sky was filled with gloom, but now that Concubine Dong has disappeared suddenly, the atmosphere in the palace is needless to say.

Since the news of Concubine Dong's disappearance came out, the number of guards guarding the eight gates of the palace has doubled, and people entering and leaving the palace have to go through multiple checks.

After leaving the palace, Wu Qi did not go home immediately.Hired a carriage and went straight to the outside of the city.

He is not worried about being followed by anyone at all. He is just a small painter. He has never been there today except to teach him how to paint at the Eleventh Prince. No matter how the people in the palace search, they can't find out. Come on him.

Because of Concubine Dong's disappearance, the gates of the capital are also heavily guarded, so those who enter the city are better off, but those who leave the city, especially the carriages carrying goods or carriages carrying people, need to be strictly checked.

After leaving the city, Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the crowded city gate, and then leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes.

For the past few days, in order to rob Concubine Dong, he has not had a good rest for several days.At first, his plan was to directly kill people in the Winter Palace, but the Concubine Dong usually stays close to people, and even if she does, it will never take more than half a cup of tea.

He had never killed anyone before, but before he got the map, he had been thinking about how to kill people silently within half a cup of tea and then retreat.

I have never had a complete plan, I am worried every day, and I am tossing and turning at night, and I can't feel at ease.Fortunately, his godfather sent him a map of the secret road.

Before confessing to his godfather, he had never told him about Concubine Dong, so godfather must not know what his purpose of entering the palace was.The godfather sent the map without asking why, he must have guessed something.

While being confused, a groom's call came from outside.

Suddenly waking up, he opened the curtain and looked out, well, it was indeed here.

After getting out of the carriage, paying the silver and sending the groom away, he turned around and walked towards the farmyard not far away.

Not long after knocking on the courtyard door, someone came to answer the door.After Wu Qi replied in a low voice, the courtyard door was opened from the inside.

The other party was an old man. After looking him up and down, the old man turned his body sideways and let him in without saying a word.

Wu Qi smiled at him gently, and walked in.

The old man closed the courtyard door again, and said hoarsely to Wu Qi who was waiting on the side: "My lord, come with me." After saying that, he walked inside without waiting for Wu Qi's reaction.

Wu Qi looked at his back as he limped and strenuously walked forward, thinking that this person must not be simple - even though his feet were inconvenient, every step he took, he landed silently.

Inside the house, with a slight sound, the ground that was originally paved with stones opened a hole that could accommodate one person to pass through.The old man lifted a kerosene lamp, "People are below, come with me."

After Wu Qi followed the old man down, the entrance of the cave was closed again.It's dark underground, all relying on the faint light of the kerosene lamp to illuminate the way.The two walked along the tunnel for a while, and through the light, Wu Qi saw two closed stone gates ahead.

The old man lit a torch next to a door with a kerosene lamp, so that the light was bright for an instant.The old man took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into a hole next to the door. With a slight twist, the door on the right creaked open.

"People are inside." The old man glanced at him, took off the torch and handed it to him, then turned and walked away.

Wu Qi stood outside the door and hesitated for a while, took a breath before stepping into the stone room.

The area of ​​the stone room is not large, only twenty or thirty square meters.It is very simple, except for stone beds and stone tables, there is nothing left.

Through the light of the torch, he saw Concubine Dong.

The gagged Concubine Dong huddled in the corner of the bed, her eyes widened when she saw Wu Qi coming in, and she began to struggle with a whine from her throat.

"Imperial concubine, long time no see." Wu Qi gave her a gentle smile without changing his face, stuck the torch in his hand on the wall, opened his clothes and sat down at the stone table not far from her.

Concubine Dong's eyes showed confusion when she heard his words.

"Heh..." Seeing this, Wu Qi smiled slightly at her, "Does Concubine Dong really hate Prince Yun? Why do you hate him? Why don't you let me guess?"

Concubine Dong suddenly stopped struggling when she heard the words, but stared at Wu Qi with a vicious look in her eyes,

Wu Qi didn't respond to her gaze, and tapped his fingers on the stone table, "Back then when Concubine De Gui was still in love with three thousand people, your sister who was also a concubine wanted to marry her again and again because of jealousy. Harming Concubine Degui failed one after another. Later, Concubine Degui was pregnant with Queen Yun, and her favor became even stronger. So your sister was anxious, so she arrested the relatives of the imperial physician who was Concubine Degui's Pinganmai, and forced the imperial doctor to stay in Germany. The concubine's anti-abortion medicine was drugged. Unexpectedly, Concubine De Gui knew about this matter. Not only did she not blame the imperial doctor, but she also asked his brother, Prince Kang, to secretly rescue the relatives of the imperial physician before she revealed the incident. When I went to the emperor, the emperor was furious and threw your sister into limbo, and your Dong family business was hit hard by this.

Prince Kang is a man who will take revenge. If your elder sister wants to harm Concubine Degui or even Concubine Degui's nephew, how can he let your Dong family go?Your father and sister lost their lives because of this, but fortunately, because your father once rescued the first emperor, the first emperor issued an edict when he was in power, as long as your Dong family did not commit any crime of treason, you can be exempted from being implicated The disaster is that even if Prince Kang wants to destroy your Dong family, the current emperor will not allow it.

After your father and sister passed away one after another, your elder brother won your father's official title and kept a low profile in the court, thus saving the Dong family.

It wasn't until the Holy Majesty became full-winged that he began to suppress Prince De, and finally Concubine De Gui and Prince Kang were bestowed to death by the Holy Majesty, and your Dong family was crowned with glory in the court, and you followed into the palace, and then gave birth to the seventh prince.

You hate King Yun because his uncle and concubine killed your father and sister. Why have you endured it for so many years? "

Wu Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Concubine Dong, and saw Concubine Dong's wide-open eyes were drooping, and a sound of "hehehe" came out of her throat.Wu Qi slowly got up and walked to think about her, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the thing that blocked her mouth.

The mouth was blocked for too long, and after pulling out the thing, Concubine Dong Gui's chin closed a little bit, and she couldn't control it to close for a while, but the vague voice and laughter became much clearer.

Chapter 83 (Catching Bugs)

Wu Qi took a step back and looked down at her.

"Prince Kang made great achievements back then, but he bowed and was proud, but he never had the intention of rebellion. His only idea was to let Prince Yun be promoted to the crown prince, and after the death of the saint, let Prince Yun Shun Shun take the throne, but in the end Prince Kang But it was punished as treason, I think, your brother, the current Lord Donghou has done a lot of merit in this matter. After you enter the palace, ask the Holy Lord to let Lord Yun recognize you as your mother, knowing that his uncle is her biological mother Concubine, you still have to lose two relatives, what's the point of treating him like relatives and asking him about his health?"

Speaking of this, Wu Qi sneered, "You have been in the palace for nearly 20 years. In these 20 years, why don't you have the chance to attack him? You didn't do it because you hated him to the core, too deeply. , but you don’t want him to die easily. You are waiting, waiting for him to fight for the throne before you start.

You clearly made your own son act cowardly and incompetent, and made the Holy Majesty dislike him very much and have no hope of competing for the position. You can only support Prince Yun's appearance, but in fact, you and Donghou Lord have planned everything in secret. After the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he began to torture him slowly. As the saying goes, life is better than death, and this is what you want. "

Concubine Dong Gui's chin was able to close on her own, and upon hearing this, she laughed idiotically. Through her blurred eyes, she seemed to see Ying Qinglu's pain in her hands.

She has never received such treatment in her life. Before entering the palace, she had acquired a bitter personality because of being spoiled and spoiled. After entering the palace, she learned to endure for various reasons, but after being hijacked, her heart panicked. Kung fu collapses like a mountain rock.

Concubine Dong Gui was imprisoned in this dark stone room for a long time after being robbed, and she was already soaked in fear.After Wu Qi came in, he didn't give Concubine Dong Gui the opportunity to quibble. As soon as he came in, he opened his mouth in a narrative tone, and the panicked Concubine Dong Gui's first reaction was not to quibble, but to follow his words and face reality.

Wu Qi bent down slowly, facing her, the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, "Do you want to whip King Yun, and let him soak in salt water day and night to continue whipping, leaving him with only one After taking a deep breath, amputate his hands and feet, and then smear bone-eroding poison on his hands and feet, let him suffer from the pain of thousands of ants and scorpions, and then kill him?"——These, It's just part of the suffering that Qinglu suffered, which he deduced after seeing it. As for what he couldn't see, Qinglu didn't say it, and he didn't know...Qinglu never mentioned what happened in prison.

After hearing this, Concubine Dong also nodded her head and laughed, "What you said is nothing more than mediocrity."

But a little?Wu Qi originally thought that what he said was the biggest harm to Qinglu, but he didn't want to...

His face sank, "Then what kind of method have you figured out?"

Concubine Dong raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter? You want me to practice my skills?"

Wu Qi and her stared at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up straight, "Concubine Dong Gui has a very rich imagination, why don't you come up with one or two ways to listen?"

As he spoke, he took out a sharp dagger from the inner pocket of his cuff.

Concubine Dong shrank back in shock when she saw the dagger in his hand, but unfortunately her body was too stiff after being tied up for too long, and if she moved a little, she fell on her side on the stone bed and couldn't get up.

Wu Qi's facial features are not outstanding individually, but together they are exceptionally harmonious. Among the facial features, those soft and quiet eyes are the finishing touch. When he quietly looks at a person, The sense of tranquility is natural.However, it is the sense of tranquility that radiates around the body that falls into the eyes of those who care about it, and it becomes a kind of deepness.

Wu Qi slowly pulled the dagger out of its sheath, the hazy light shone on the sharp edge of the dagger, refracting cold light that made people chill, he raised his head and smiled slightly at her.

"Actually, I have studied one or two ways to torture people, how about... how about we try it?"

……

The sky is already dark, and the wind and rain continue to show a tendency to become bigger.

The gate of the capital city had already been locked at this time, and Wu Qi rested at the old man's house, but he didn't know that someone was going crazy looking for him.

Qinglu pretended to be sick in the government, because she had too many scruples, she didn't dare to make a big show of sending people to look for it, so she had to send the shadow guards around her to investigate.

While waiting for the news, the news of the disappearance of Concubine Dong came from the palace.Concubine Dong was his adoptive mother, and when his adoptive mother disappeared, the palace officials sent someone to report to the palace.

Concubine Dong Gui had an accident at this juncture, how could he fail to guess who did it?After hearing the process before and after Concubine Dong's disappearance, he knew that Wu Qi was not alone. ...Who is helping Wu Qi?

Although he had guesses in his heart, but according to the current situation, he didn't dare to take the risk of sending someone to ask.

——has already left the palace, and left the city alone, this is what the shadow guards have found out.

Not listening to Eunuch Xu's repeated dissuasion, he took people out of the city directly and secretly.

Most of the eyes and ears of the major forces are gathered in the capital city. When they leave the city, Qing Lu still does not dare to act unscrupulously. There are also many eyes and ears within a radius of three hundred miles outside the city.

In the night rain, riding a horse at a fork, Wu Qi, Wu Qi, where have you gone?

The road runs from east to west, north to south, and he knows that Wu Qi cannot go far, but he doesn't know where to start.The two finally came to this life. They were supposed to stay with the love in their hearts all the time, but they were forced to go around because of troubles...

Stay away from the capital, stay away from the imperial court, there is no room for comment, and you must settle everything before you leave.If you don't know how to leave recklessly, I'm afraid that after the new emperor ascends the throne, according to his ruthless methods, how can he not be allowed to be out of control?

The long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the road ahead, his gaze was frighteningly cold.

The chilly night wind mixed with icy rain hit that handsome cheek, and the lips raised up. It seemed that there was something urgent!

……

Messy long hair, covered in cold sweat, neither human nor ghost.

Limbs were tied tightly with soft cloth strips, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes for a long time.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at himself, through those eyes, he saw 'life is better than death'...

……

Waking up in shock, the heart-wrenching aftertaste of the dream is still there.

In the previous life, whenever it rained, Qing Lu would be tormented by the pain to the point of dying.

After returning to this life and separating from Quwu with Qing Lu, he has been dreaming, not the same dream, but every dream is Qing Lu suffering from illness, and as time goes by, he will stop dreaming over time. …Unexpectedly, because of Concubine Dong, he dreamed of the past again.

Clutching his chest tightly, he got out of bed and opened the door. The sound of crackling rain was particularly abrupt in this silent night.Every time it rains, he can't sleep. This kind of habit is subconsciously bringing the habits of the previous life to this life. Didn't he know that Qinglu, who has the memory of the previous life, is the same as him?For eight full years, Qinglu and him in the previous life had eight years when it rained and they couldn't live in peace.

But a little...

Thinking of Concubine Dong's words, Wu Qi's heart ached unbearably. What kind of suffering did Qing Lu in his previous life suffer?

With a creak, the door of the next room was opened.

"Come in and have a drink with the old man?"

Wu Qi turned his head and stared at the other party in a daze, now it was past ugly time (after three o'clock in the morning), but he didn't want his insomnia to disturb other people's peaceful sleep, thinking of this, he said uncomfortably: "But disturbed the old man's rest? "

The old man waved his hand, "Come in." After saying that, he turned and went back to the house.

"..."

This person who cherishes words like gold looks very much like a person.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile.

……

Even if there is a cloak to keep out the rain, after being in the rain for a long time, this body can't stop the rain from soaking through.Ying Qinglu didn't dare to use his skills to resist, the cold night wind and the icy rain made his body shiver.

His face was pale and his lips were purple and black, making Duan Jing, Yingwei and others worried for a while.

After searching for several hours, there was still no trace of Wu Qi, and Ying Qinglu's temper became more and more irritable.

"Mr. Qi came out of the city from the north gate. There are three roads out of the north gate. I searched along the other two routes before. Since I couldn't find it, Mr. Qi must have taken this route." Brown Shadow began to analyze.

Ying Qinglu glanced coldly at his face, tightened the reins, and lashed the horse's hip with the whip in his hand, "Let's go."

Chapter 84 (bug repair)

Drinking with the old man just doesn't relieve boredom, but the more you drink, the more bored you become.

Wu Qi didn't talk much in the first place, but when he met a boring old man who was as good as Duan Mutou and couldn't give a fart, there was no need to say much about the result.

Wu Qi is not an arty person, and so is the old man, so the two of them drank the wine like water.Wu Qi's drinking capacity is shallow, and the two maids, Shuangdie and Shuangyan, are not allowed to drink freely after he is by his side. However, under such circumstances, the expressionless old man is still sitting on his seat, sober as before, while Wu Qi Xi was lying on the table with a red face and smell of alcohol, laughing and weeping at the same time.

The old man shook his head helplessly, "Dreams are hard to come true, hatred is hard to flatten. Don't be sad and people don't like to hear it. The empty steps will drip until the light."

He was about to move him to the bed to rest, but at this moment he heard the sound of horseshoes.

The old man's expression changed, and he blew out the light and jumped out instantly.

……

The village here is not big, only a dozen or so households, and the people behind him spread out without responding to Qinglu's orders.

At this time, it was near the end of Yin time, and peasants got up early since ancient times. At this time, some peasants got up, and when they heard the knock on the door, they all went to answer the door with tense faces.

Ying Qinglu's eyes swept across the doors of the farmhouses, and finally stopped in front of a certain house. The owner of the farmhouse nodded after talking with the shadow guard, and then raised his hand to a house not far to the west. Point to the farmhouse.

The horse under him seemed to feel his uneasiness and paced back and forth with his hooves. Qing Lu squeezed his whip tightly and watched the shadow guard running towards him with joy, without the other party saying that he already knew it.

He got off his horse and went straight to the farmhouse on the west side.

The old man in the courtyard was startled, and hurried into the house to hide the drunken Wu Qi.It's a pity that the drunk Wu Qi was extremely unruly, feeling that he was being lifted up, he instinctively gave a low cry and began to struggle.

Ying Qinglu and the others, who already felt that there was no time to knock on the door, had amazing hearing. As soon as they heard a familiar voice, they rushed in directly.

Although the old man had some martial arts skills, he was far inferior to the strictly trained shadow guards. Before he had time to hide him, Ying Qinglu's people had already appeared in front of him.

Brown Shadow and the others were already familiar with Qi Wuqi, when they saw that he was being carried by the old man on his shoulders, everyone's expressions changed, and after looking at each other, they rushed to save him.

When Qing Lu entered the room, the atmosphere in the room was weird, and he saw an old man who was seriously injured, holding Wu Qi behind him with his arms outstretched, while the shadow guards in the room had expressions of astonishment—they were obviously trying to save someone, why? The matter turned into the old man protecting Qi Wuqi with death?

No matter what the atmosphere in the house is like, Qinglu
