Chapter 5 Don't die

The atmosphere at the banquet began to become strange, and everyone's eyes always unconsciously fell on Leng Changxi, but Changxi was as stable as an iceberg. He did not move or speak. He naturally put his right hand on the table, put his left hand on his leg and looked at Queen Chen, as if everything only obeyed Queen Chen's arrangement. .

Queen Chen's phoenix eyes narrowed into a narrow arc, which seemed to be thoughtful for a long time before ordering, "Since he is unwilling, bring it up. I want to hear what he wants to say to me." It doesn't matter what to say. It depends on how Leng Changxi will react. As a young general who has just emerged, whether he can successfully pull Leng Changxi to his side will be known later.

Qin Yunuan rubbed the wine glass while secretly looking at the expressions of Empress Chen and others. The place of execution is far away from Meiyuan. Even if this man has magical power, it is difficult to break away from the execution of the strong man and run to such a far place. This matter is really strange.

"What's your sister thinking?" Qin Yunzhuang, who was beside her, rarely took the initiative to talk to Qin Yunuan. She had observed Qin Yunuan for a long time. Qin Yunuan's thoughtful appearance from time to time always made her feel a little uncomfortable. She smiled so carelessly, but it made people feel that there was something interesting behind her smile.

"My sister just doesn't understand," Qin Yunuan blinked. "I've only heard of Meng Jiajun before. When did this Leng Jiajun emerge?"

After listening to Qin Yunuan's visionless question, Qin Yunzhuang turned his head with some disgust and responded to the general explanation, "It's just a small group of rabbles that emerged after the Battle of Eastern Qin. There is nothing to mention."

While talking, the person crying outside the Meiyuan was brought up. He wore loose hair and looked like a haggard and boneless decay. The generous prison clothes were worn on his body like a overhead shelf, as if he had blown down.

"The last general... Ding Yue visited the queen and the third prince," he raised his dirty face and made two big salutes. When he saw Leng Changxi, his eyes suddenly stagnated and trembling on the ground, "General Leng... General Leng." He is as humble as a speck of dust, and there is no momentum of roaring outside the garden.

Leng Changxi was motionless, like an ice sculpture. His eyes were disdainful except indifference, and he even refused to give a look to Ding Yue, who was kneeling on the ground.

Queen Chen picked up the armor cover and motioned the prisoner who claimed to be Ding Yue to raise his head. "It's really thin and invisible. You have been shouting to see this palace and General Leng. What's the matter?"

When Qin Yunuan saw Ding Yue's throat, she seemed to be quite dodged from Leng Changxi beside her, but suddenly said, "The Empress wants to be the last general. The last general has been in the army for 15 years. She asked herself to be loyal and strictly abided by the military order, but this time on the way back, the old injury on the back recurred. The pain was unbearable. She asked the chef of the army to replace him. The last general changed the medicine and went back and again. She and I fell in love with each other. One day... One day, the last general could not hold it. When the love came, he was found by General Leng, but he abruptly said that the general wanted the people's daughter and sentenced him to 80 military sticks.

80 military sticks are not tickling. If they are really solid, most of their lives will be gone.

Queen Chen sighed, "Since it's your wish, now that you die, you have really become a desperate mandarin duck."

Ding Yue hurriedly bent down and shouted, "Empress Mingjian."

Queen Chen didn't say much. First, she turned around and asked Sima Rui, "Rui'er, what do you think?"

Sima Ruiduan made a righteous salute before he stood up with his hands. "General Ding has been in the army for 15 years, and he is also a veteran. He has also sacrificed his blood and loyalty to Daqi, but now he is still alone. It is inevitable that he will be a little lonely. Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty. Moreover, General Ding has worked hard and made great contributions, 80th Army The stick was hit down, but..." Sima Rui said, and then tested Leng Changxi, "General Leng, what do you think?"

The mother and son sing very well, one tone after another, which is nothing more than telling him that Ding Yue is the person they want to protect, depending on their attitude.

Leng Changxi couldn't understand it. His face was still indifferent and indifferent. He only raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Ding Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly said, "I, I'll give you another chance."

Ding Yue just glanced slightly in the eyes of Empress Chen. That's all, the honor and humiliation of life and death were at this moment. If General Leng was willing to let go, not to mention his crime was washed away, he could still get the favor of the queen. If he was defeated, he would be just a dying person sooner or later. He kowtowed heavily against the ground and was covered with blood stains. He said, "If the last general has half a lie, it will be thunder and he will die."

"Oh, isn't it?" Leng Changxi sneered, "First, there has never been a woman in the army of the Leng family. Where does the job of chef you mentioned come from? Second, on the second day of your so-called mutual love**, the woman hanged herself. If it's really love, why don't you just follow the woman? Speaking of this, Leng Changxi paused slightly and continued, "Third, I am not sentenced to 80 military sticks, but 200 military sticks."

Two hundred military sticks! If 80 military sticks can barely leave a trace of breath, 200 military sticks are going to beat people to death. Three sentences hit the key in Ding Yue's confession, making people unable to breathe.

"General Leng, isn't it still 80 military sticks? How can you do it all of a sudden... Isn't this a reversal of your word? Sima Rui looked like he was fighting for Ding Yue. The Ding family is a nail buried in the army by the queen, and it is also their right-hand man who will achieve great things in the future. Although Ding Yue is only a distant relative of the Ding family, there is always no harm in selling the Ding family's favor.

"Why should the third prince be excited?" Leng Changxi slowly rubbed the white jade cup. The grapes in the cup slowly smoked out the intoxicating fragrance because of the temperature of Leng Changxi's fingers, which was charming and seductive. "The prisoner had already said it. If he had a lie, the sky would not die of thunder. God did not dare to figure out. However, it's not easy to die. Weichen can still help a group to change 80 military sticks to 200. Didn't he just fulfill his wish?

Qin Yunuan sighed in her heart. It seemed that this Leng Changxi's method was really not simple. Under the guise of giving people another chance, she secretly confirmed the charges after the incident. Even Queen Chen had nothing to say about dealing with it like this.

Looking at Ding Yue kneeling on the ground repeatedly handed her eyes to Empress Chen, Qin Yunuan only felt that the relationship between the former court and the backyard was really inextricably. Empress Chen's hand seemed to have reached out to the outer court, but Qin Yunuan knew that this time, Empress Chen, who was hiding needles in Mian, was afraid this time. I met an impeccable hard stone.

Empress Chen closed her eyes slightly and said leisurely for a long time, "But even so, today is a good day for my palace to hold a flower festival banquet. I'm afraid it's unlucky to be stained with blood." What's more, she promised the Ding family to save Ding Yue's life.

Now the eldest prince Sima Ruo has the support of his uncle Menghua. Menghua is a descendant of the Mongolian army and has a lot of prestige in the army. Although the Ding family is not in high status, it has been in the army for a long time and has a wide range of contacts.

"This is simple," Leng Changxi raised his eyelashes slightly and answered implausably, "Weichen can take Ding Yue back to the barracks in the suburbs of Beijing to execute military law, and will never stain the Queen's banquet." Although the words are respectful, the attitude is very clear.

Sima Rui's eyes were a little gloomy, but suddenly became sharp. He secretly looked at Leng Changxi, who was about his age. This man's words were correct but not leaky. I'm afraid it's impossible for him to take it for his own use.

In consideration, Sima Rui looked at Queen Chen with misty eyes again. It seemed that the two were thinking the same thing.

"This is very good." Empress Chen nodded and refused to give a trace of favor to Ding Yue. This time, she just tested Leng Changxi's attitude from him. She didn't want to do her best to save him at all. If she could save him, it would naturally be good. If she couldn't save it, the Ding family would casually give another idle official and sealed the mouth of the power, but...< /P>

This Leng Changxi is really a cruel character. He is young, but his means are so sophisticated and decisive, just like when the emperor gave him the whole palace man to death.

Ding Yue heard that the crime was not only not exempted, but also aggravated to 200 military sticks. He immediately shouted crazily, "Empress, Empress, you can't do this. You are...uh...uh." Before he finished speaking, the dragged palace man gagged his mouth with a silk cloth. Ding Yue opened his eyes wide and stared at Empress Chen. The woman smiled and promised to save her life when she took the list of military generals provided by the Ding family.

"It's too noisy." In the face of Ding Yue's noise, Empress Chen just covered her veil and sighed. She just ordered the banquet to continue. On the contrary, Concubine Yun couldn't help laughing twice. Her voice was a little harsh, which sounded like goose bumps.

"What is your sister laughing at?" Queen Chen asked without raising her head while concentrating on the butterfly crisp in the white porcelain blue and white plate.

Concubine Yun smiled gently and said, "My sister just thinks that this play is really good. I don't know this. I thought it was specially arranged by my sister to relieve everyone's boredom."

"My sister is really joking," Queen Chen smiled. "I can't arrange such a wonderful play."

The banquet continued, and it was nothing more than singing and dancing. Qin Yunuan quietly paid attention to Leng Changxi through the ribbon waved by the dancer, and his heart was always a little uneasy. Such an unpredictable person, did he know whether he knew her small movements of changing flower bags? Will there be any hints at the banquet?

Such worries continued until after a song and dance, Leng Changxi suddenly stood up and arched to Queen Chen, "Although today's banquet is good, it's a pity that I still have important things to stay for a long time. Let's take a step first."

Queen Chen nodded with a smile. Naturally, she didn't want to stay for such a person. And Qin Yunuan also suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Leng Changxi turned around and glanced at the noble girl at the banquet very quickly. When he saw Qin Yunuan, his pupils narrowed slightly, and there was a flash of examination in his eyes. Qin Yunuan wanted to turn a blind eye, but he thought that if this was the case, he was afraid of more annoying gossip. He simply raised his head and boldly met Leng Changxi's attention. , the two looked at each other, but for a moment, they looked at each other and were calm.

As soon as Leng Changxi left the banquet, Qin Yunzhuang beside him immediately said to Qin Yunuan, "We just saw General Leng staring at his sister several times. Looking at her, there is no favor, isn't it..." Before the words went on, the meaning was clear.

"What's your sister's words," Qin Yunuan pointed to the little rouge she had just deliberately pointed to the neckline and laughed, "I'm afraid it's my sister's unkempt appearance that made the cold general laugh."

Qin Yun's makeup returned without success, but said, "By the way, it's your turn to draw lots later. Is your sister ready?"
