Chapter 88 Scheduled Conflict 8
While Qi Che was hesitating, his confidant Li Wei came to see him.
"Your Highness. Report from the front.
He took the letterhead he handed over, read ten lines at a glance, and then burned the paper. The burning flame lit up Qi Che's unpredictable face for a moment. The paper turned into ashes and annihilated with the wind.
In the dark night, his eyes flashed with hunter-like lustful light, and the reason was undoubtedly the message just now.
"Your Highness?" Li Wei looked up and tried puzzledly.
"Ha ha, it's really God to help me. I ordered to mobilize troops in front of the palace gate, and replace the dark guards in the palace with my own people."
"Your Highness, gathering troops in the palace privately is..." Li Wei can't believe what he heard. If the division is unknown, he will be criticized. In fact, it is the next way to break the boat. This is a great danger!
"Don't doubt," Qi Che certainly knew what he was worried about. "As for the excuse," a sneer suddenly drew out, "Tai-zi-rebellion."
Li Wei below was obviously stunned. Looking at Qi Che's confident appearance, he was heartbroken. It seemed that the weather was really going to change.
"Yes." Immediately, you should exit in a hard voice.
Qi Che spread out the rice paper, wrote, rendered the ink on the paper, finished writing, carried the pen, the ink condensed at the tip of the pen, and finally dripped.
Looking at the word "Xi" blurred by ink on the paper, he stood silently, so they were left.
The silence in the room has returned, but under the tranquility before the storm, what kind of stormy waves will immediately set off?
Overnight, rumors of the prince's rebellion came one after another, spread in large and small corners of the capital, and quickly spread outward at a plague-like speed. The inner courtyard of the palace was heavily defended and heavily guarded, and the connections between the palaces were invisibly isolated, not communicating with each other, like isolated islands.
The huge palace is as silent as an empty city, but the countless sharp arrows hidden in it are hidden in a place that no one is about to give a fatal blow when the so-called traitor comes back.
The prince rebelled and the emperor became ill. For a while, there was no leader. At this time, the seventh prince Qi Che naturally became the agent of the national supervisor who was "the people expected to return", dealing with the affairs of the court.
However, General Xi, who was urgently recalled by Emperor Qi, was invited back to the palace again that late that night, and never came out again.
A few days later. General's Mansion.
In the lobby.
All the people led by Xi Xinmiao gathered here. Chu Yinhao sat in the lower seat with a leisurely look and was quite mood to enjoy tea. It means that it is none of his business, but the deep touch that passes by inadvertently in his eyes makes people feel that it is not the case.
Bing Ning stood on Xi Xinmiao's side, always with a cold face, a little more serious than before. Whenever she sees Bing Ning like this, Chu Yinhao seriously suspects that she is really in danger of facial paralysis if she goes on like this!
And the door shadow, with no expression, is fierce all day long, as if no one in the world can get along with him. A facial paralysis, an iceberg, what kind of person is that woman looking for?
Of course, these words were rotten in his stomach. He took a sip of tea, pouted his mouth, and gently withdrew his sight.
Chu Yinhao's little actions can't escape Xi Xinmiao's eyes at all, but she doesn't want to waste time arguing with him now.
"Miss, I'm going to the palace to rescue the general."
Ying took the lead in his voice. He thought that it was not difficult to sneak into the palace with his martial arts. Although it was difficult to save the general, it was not impossible.
"No." Xi Xinmiao stopped her. Looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to be worried.
"This is the old man's own decision. Let him go. Although the palace is dangerous, I believe he is safe at this time, and it seems that he should be under house arrest."
"Does house arrest?"
"That's right, and I guess it's not Emperor Qi himself who summoned the old man into the palace."
"You mean-----" Chu Yinhao put away the scoundrel, sat down a little, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Xin.
In response to the inquiry from Chu Yinhao, Xi Xinmiao nodded slightly and affirmed, "The Emperor of Qi has been bedridden for a long time. Can the people who can spread rumors of the prince's rebellion and reorganize the army of the palace overnight be so peaceful to spare the only stumbling blockage, the general?"
"In this way, the biggest purpose of putting the general under house arrest is not..."
"Tiger charm." Xi Xinqi opened his teeth coldly and frowned slightly. The reason why the old man can scare so many people is that he holds a tiger charm that is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops. With it, the garrison palace will be truly righteous and have a large number of contingent troops.
"What are you going to do next?"
Chu Yinhao asked, and everyone's eyes turned to the woman in the first seat. The courage of Xi Xinmiao has never weakened because she is a woman. Looking at her, they know that she does have a power to stabilize people's hearts, which can convince people for no reason...
Time passes quietly, and the sunset and moonrise alternate as usual.
I don't know if it's because of the tense and depressing atmosphere in the imperial city. Even at night, in addition to the previous silence, it seems to be a little more horrible.
The sound was even more leaky, the window shadow was mottled, and in the secluded alley, the sound of horseshoe trampling came out. Soon, a figure riding and galloping appeared in the dark.
The houses on both sides were thrown back quickly, and the people on the horse's back were almost invisible under the cover of the wide cloak. The only thing that could be seen was the cloak flying freely in the air because of the wind, like a fluttering wing, stirring the airflow and bringing a lot of wind.
Several guards at the gate heard the sound of horses' hoofs from afar. They saw a man driving a horse getting closer and closer. They just wanted to intercept it, but they couldn't move, and they couldn't make a sound. They watched the man go away...
Out of the gate, the scenery on both sides of the avenue was replaced by trees. The shadows of the trees were mottled, people shuttled between them, and the sound of hooves echoed.
"Hoo--"
"hiss--" The horse roared in the air. Under the faint moon shadow, the horse raised its head and roared, and its front hooves were off the ground. It was slightly raised high. The mane was fluttering in the air, the horse's tail was thrown high, and the root hair could almost be clearly seen in the empty dark night.
The galloping horse was running wildly in the momentum of getting out of the reins. The owner on the back of the cooked horse suddenly pulled the reins and was strangled. The person on the horse's back violently because of the movement of the horse's pedaling. Almost at the same time, he clenched the reins, and then stepped on the stab and stood upright. At that moment, the cloak turned over, and the man and the horse were like This is shocking, and even the shadow reflected on the ground is so wild and unrestrained! That feeling is called heaven and earth! It's the arrogant posture of heaven and earth!
Qi Che, who was in the way, didn't realize that he was a little crazy, and there were many kinds of emotions in his eyes, and one of them was called envy.
"Is that you?" The brim of the hat slipped, revealing a cold beauty. I didn't expect to meet him here, but according to this situation, he seemed to be deliberately waiting here.
"Do you know I'll go out?" Xi Xinmiao sat on the back of the horse, and the horse shook its head restlessly, making a "sneer-sneer" sound, kicking his hooves and pounding the soil on the ground from time to time.
"I don't know, I just stayed here all the time, but I didn't expect you to show up." Qi Che's tone was slightly mocked, and a pair of star eyes shone brightly in the dark.
"So, you're here to stop me."
"Yes."
"Do you think you can stop it?"
"I don't know, but I dare to bet that you dare not take risks."
"I hate being threatened the most. Are you sure you want to try it?"
"You know, if I can choose, I don't want to do this."
"Well, it goes without saying that it's so high-sounding. Your 'don't want to do this' is that you have already set up an ambush hidden in the dark, just waiting for your order to shoot me to death?"
Looking at Qi Che in the sign language, the sarcasm of Xi Xin's lips is even more serious, and the eyes looking at Qi Che are even more contemptuous. Does he really think that she doesn't know that there have been countless shooters lurking nearby? As long as she dares to walk, she will be the corpse on the ground without running half a step.
The disdain in the woman's eyes stung his eyes, and her heart was more like being cut out fiercely. She closed her eyes and finally suppressed the roll in her abdomen, and cleaned up her mood and opened her eyes again.
"Yes, there is indeed an ambush nearby."
"Qi Che, I asked you for the last time, are you really not allowed to go there?" In cold eyes, she didn't have much time. She had to get there as soon as possible. The uneasiness of the past few days had made her inexplicably irritable.
Qi Che looked at the woman opposite. Her face, which rarely showed her expression, was stained with impatience. She couldn't help wondering why she was so anxious.
However, thinking of his painstaking hegemony, he is still ruthless, and his plan must not fail!
"Go back. I don't want to embarrass you." He turned his face. This is already his concession. Don't force him anymore.
"Qi Che, how about we make a deal?"
"Transaction?"
"That's right. You let me go. In exchange, I'll give you what you want." With that, he took out something from his arms and threw it at Qi Che.
The items thrown by Xi Xinmiao crossed the beautiful half arc in the air and fell accurately in Qi Che's hands.
Spreading out his palm, Qi Che was almost surprised. "This is--" Feel the hardness made by Hufu Xuantie, and there is also the lingering warmth of the woman on it. He looked up at each other, and the doubt and shock in his eyes did not diminish.
"Do you know what kind of consequences it will bring to me now?"
"What you lack is an excuse. Now, I'll give you this excuse."
"You..."
"I'm still saying that. Don't implicate me in your affairs. Also, the old man in my family, you treat me well. If I lose a beard before I come back, I'll settle accounts with you. At that time, I don't care what you are--" Xi Xinmiao approached him, looking at the distance and pulling his lips. He said, "It's the son of heaven!"
Regardless of the stiffness of the people around him, he shook the reins and said, "Drive!"
The dust is flying at the horse's hoof, and there is no trace for a moment.
Qi Che hasn't moved for a long time and let the woman leave. He heard what she just said, the emperor? The curvature of the corners of his mouth continued to rise, and finally he laughed uncontrollably.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I will definitely get to this position!" He shouted in the direction of the woman's disappearance, as if he were promising. Looking down at the tiger charm in his hand, he gently stroked the lines on it. The bright and charming in the star eyes is firm...
After all, she didn't hear his vows. At this time, she galloped her horse, and her dark eyes looked at a certain direction in the sky. Her eyes were firm: the water was cold. Without my permission, you were not allowed to die!
