Si Tian Guan Chapter 146

    When the sun slants west, people who enter the city in the morning leave the city one after another, walking, riding or riding, all rushing home before sunset.

      After that, it was completely out of Beijing.

    Where there are people, there is business.

    By this time, the number of guests will naturally decrease.

      , like the sound of a stick hitting the door.

    When he looked up, a teenager was holding a wooden switch to enter the door. The wooden switch was on the ground, and he was looking for a way out, and then he knocked on the door randomly.

    Little Er saw that the boy was carrying a simple package, tied a knot on his chest, and covered his eyes with a black cloth.

    "Where are you going, little brother?" He eagerly wiped the table and asked curiously, "Why don't you find someone to accompany you? How can you go out of Beijing to travel long distances like this?"

    The boy nodded to him following the voice, and smiled: "It's just me, no one else."

    Little Er heard the voice so gentle and soothing, so good that the bones were brittle, and he raised his head suddenly, only to see the boy's face clearly, "Yeah".

    "What?" The boy's hand on the table curled up unconsciously, as if frightened.

    "It's alright, it's alright," Xiao Er hurriedly wiped the table with his hands and feet diligently, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't say that the villain is ignorant, the villain has been living on this road for more than ten years, Thousands of people have been sent to us, and I have never seen a person as beautiful as your fairy."

    The young man seemed to have something on his mind, so he lowered his head slightly and replied, "The second brother is too famous, just an ordinary passerby."

    Little Er actually wanted to say it was a pity, but on the one hand it was a pity for others, and on the other hand, she felt that there were no eyes in this world that could match this face—what kind of eyes would they be? Just sighed sadly.

    "What would you like to eat?"

    "Trouble the second brother, you can choose two kinds of dishes you like in the store, don't be spicy."

    "Yes! Are you going to pass Shili Pavilion?"

      Now that the night is cold and dewy, it is more inconvenient for you to be like this. Why don't you stay here for one night before leaving?"

    These words seemed to hit the young man's mind, he simply hummed, noncommittal.

    Xiao Er saw that he was unwilling to talk to people, and took a second glance before turning and leaving.

    Qu Chenzhou sighed softly and tightened the cloak.

    It has been more than half a month since the autumn hunting team set off. If it was in the past, it would have stayed for about 20 days.

    Besides counting the days, he couldn't help but worry about Baishiyan.

    The hexagram of "living towards death" is too vague, what kind of choice is towards death, can you be sure to seize the chance of life, let alone Baishiyan, even he himself does not know.

    In case Baishiyan really unfortunately died in Chengfeng paddock, all his previous plans would come to nothing.

    But he divination several times, and the words of the divination have not changed.

    Everyone is not around, the future is like a layer of fog that cannot be cleared, shrouded in front of him, he stands at the fork in the road, looking around at a loss.

    Back to the previous life.

    Every step is on the tip of the knife, every step is a gamble.

    "Living towards death..." Qu Chenzhou muttered to himself.

    He was in a daze, and there were footsteps at the door, coming straight to the table.

    This time, the second brother knows not to disturb his quietness, not as noisy as before.

    The porcelain plate touched the wooden table, making a crisp ding sound, and two plates and a bowl were placed in front of them.

    It's not convenient for him to look at it, but the smell seems to be what he likes.

    The little Er was attentive. Not only did he arrange the dishes for him, but it sounded like there was tea, and then handed the chopsticks to him.

    "Thank you."

    The chopsticks that were not caught fell to the ground with two muffled sounds, like a hammer hitting the heart.

    Almost at the same time, the front of his eyelids lit up, the black cloth covering his eyes was torn off by someone, and the voice that made him tremble was on the opposite side.

    "Shen Zhou..." The man leaned over the table and leaned over to him: "The autumn colors are charming, you also want to come out and see, don't you?"

    Qu Chenzhou's face turned pale, he stood up, the stool under him knocked over to the ground, making a loud noise in the quiet shop.

    "Sir..."

    Liu Chongming was standing in front of him, but after being separated for half a month, the smile in front of him became unfamiliar and eerie.

    Qu Chenzhou's eyes swept around calmly, there were only the two of them in this humble tavern, and even Xiao Er didn't know where to go.

    Second way.

    I don't know whether to say his luck is good or bad.

    "Prince," he tried to calm his breathing and nodded slightly: "Prince came back so quickly."

      Home, I thought I could see you, but I didn't expect you to run out by yourself - it made me find it easy."

    "Sorry..." Qu Chenzhou didn't sit down, filled Liu Chongming with tea, took a step back, and said, "Sorry."

    Liu Chongming twirled the tea cup with two fingers, and the smell of rough tea with almost no fragrance swept his nose, like a dry hand, peeling off his disguise layer by layer.

    The anger has been ups and downs in my heart, but when I meet people face to face, I still calm down.

    He couldn't understand why this happened, why did Qu Chenzhou treat him like this.

    "Are you sorry?" Through the curling heat, he looked up and asked softly, "What are you sorry for? Are you running away without permission?"

    Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips and refused to speak.

    Liu Chongming smiled, the tea in his mouth was too astringent to swallow.

    "When did you find the wrench? I left the shadow guard to concentrate on you. I didn't expect you to run out. I underestimated you."

    "But it's my fault, I don't blame you. Shen Zhou..."

    He adjusted his breathing before speaking again.

    "Don't you know a lot of things? I just said to send my sister back to the palace, why don't you ask why?"

    "When I was in the paddock, a raccoon ran up to see the city. My sister was frightened. When the imperial doctor checked her pulse, she found out that her sister was more than a month pregnant."

    "You know, right? Right? You shook your head at me before, did you not know, or did you refuse to answer?"

    Listening to this series of non-stop questions, Qu Chenzhou moved his lips and asked after a long while, "Are the concubine and the little prince okay?"

    Liu Chongming lowered his eyes, looked at the table, and did not answer his words: "Shen Zhou, compared to my sister, have you forgotten another person?"

    He waited for those three words to be uttered, waiting for the other party to explain the note hidden in the sachet.

    But there is only silence in the air.

    "It's Baishiyan!" He drank, shook his hand, and poured the whole cup of tea on Qu Chenzhou's face: "Why don't you ask, how is Shiyan now?! "

    "What's wrong with big brother?"

    Liu Chongming suddenly kicked the table between the two of them with one foot, and the old wood slammed into the table and chair beside him, breaking several sections, and a large amount of dust was scattered.

    "You still dare to call him big brother?" He suppressed the hysteria in his throat.

    "Tell me, did you write that note - yes! Only you can write it! Only your handwriting is exactly the same as mine! Say it! Did you let Shi Yan go to Beiwang alone? South of Poe?"

    Qu Chenzhou's silence explains everything.

    "It's the Dragoons, right?"

    Liu Chongming laughed miserably, he was blind, he personally brought Qu Shenzhou to the Dragon Cavalry camp, and he was the accomplice who killed Shi Yan.

    "You asked me to take you there twice to see the Dragoon Army, and you took great pains. I really underestimated you. Isn't it, Qu Chenzhou," he spit out three words from his teeth: "Qu Sitian..."

      You may also get dizzy and fool yourself.

    But Qu Chenzhou didn't even bother to maintain the disguise of his emptiness and guile, and the silence in these three words was chilling.

    "What did the prince remember?"

    Liu Chongming choked in his throat and laughed.

    He really likes Qu Chenzhou's cleverness, and he should have thought that just because of this cleverness, Qu Chenzhou is also intelligent and won't make unnecessary struggles, he knows how to deal with him calmly and negotiate , is the best way.

    But this time, Qu Chenzhou may have miscalculated.

    Hope dissipates like a bubble, how much **** desire in the past, how much disgusting now, so disgusting that even seeing that face, I can't wait to poke my eyes out.

    In fact, he has no room for bargaining at all.

    He doesn't want to be led by the nose, so naturally he won't answer this question.

    "After Shi Yan's accident, I thought about it for a long time, some things I figured out clearly, and some things I couldn't understand. Can you ask Qu Sitian to explain my doubts?"

    Qu Chenzhou took a few steps back, sat down silently, and motioned for him to continue.

    They were still strangers in the study.

    The last eagerness in Liu Chongming's eyes dissipated, like a beast caught by a hunter, trying his best to break free, but it was already bloody.

    "You told me that the first move to King Qi is because King Qi has military power in his hands. Once the military power is released, the remaining two will inevitably compete for power. chance to give birth to a prince."

    "It's a flawless statement, but..." He sneered.

    "I only realized now that the Bai family also has military power in their hands, which is only a little bigger than the temptation of King Qi."

     "When Shi Yan had an accident, Beiya also had no leader. Once Shi Yan died, Shi Lei was still unstable, and it was difficult for him to take on a great responsibility. He succeeded in unloading my right arm, right?"

    "The fetus in my sister's womb is unstable. If I don't arrive in time, I can't keep it at all. The Liu family wants to win the heir, but it will take longer."

    "The King of Qi has a Nanya, so naturally he has no relationship with the Beiya. King Ning is a mess, not to mention."

    "So... who are you for!"

    Liu Chongming suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, stepped forward a few steps, and pinched his palm on Qu Shenzhou's neck.

    He admits that he doesn't want to endure it anymore, doesn't want to pretend to be this ridiculous calm, just wants to bite the throat in front of him like in a dream.

    Blood to vent anger.

    "Why!"

    Qu Chenzhou grabbed his wrists with both hands, panting with his neck up, but he seemed to be mocking him in his eyes.

    "For who? What does the prince think? I have a lot of things I want. Since you can't give me, I will get it myself."

    Liu Chongming was furious, raised his hand suddenly, and slapped Qu Chenzhou's cheek.

    "What do you want, I didn't give you? Ah? Tell me! What do you want!"

    "Do you only see prosperity and wealth? Is it so important to you to climb up?"

    "Where did I, Liu Chongming, feel sorry for you?

    "Where is Shi Yan sorry for you? Aunt and uncle treat you as a parent and child, and treat you with heart and soul. Do you dare to visit aunt?"

    "Shi Yan's whereabouts are unknown now. Auntie stays up all day and night, waiting for news from Shiyan! Do you dare to visit Aunt?"

    "Qu Shenzhou, where is your heart! Is it made of stone?"

    Qu Chenzhou licked the smell of blood on his lips, suddenly smiled, gave up resistance completely, and climbed up with his hands along Liu Chongming's arms little by little.

    "The prince and the Bai family treat me well, are they as good as what I want?"

    "When you accused me of just thinking about climbing up, did you ever think about how I lived in slavery? Have you ever tasted it?"

    "Dare to ask the prince, who would like to be a slave forever? Without suffering, what qualifications do you have to persuade people to be kind?"

    "How can I be a heart made of stone? When I am with the prince, it is not a lie to be happy with the prince."

    "But when the prince left the capital in a hurry, did you think about me? How did the prince treat me when he entered the capital? Do you want me to be grateful to the prince now?"

    Liu Chongming was stunned for a moment: "I entered the capital? How did I treat you?"

    "..." Qu Chenzhou's surprise was fleeting, and he smiled quickly: "I don't care about what happened in the past, the prince might as well be more generous, the past is gone."

    "The prince is open and honest, so I'll just say it straight. The prince's current strength, without the help of nobles, is far from that position..."

    "I'm so anxious to wait, but I'm just judging the situation."

    "Since the prince has caught up, how about we make a deal?"

    Liu Chongming's eyes flashed: "What deal?"

    Perceiving that the force of pinching around the neck was getting weaker, Qu Chenzhou's hand wrapped around Liu Chongming's neck with a full smile.

    "No matter what I have done in the past, who I have done for anyone, and now I am willing to sacrifice my life for the prince, you should understand that I can do a lot of things."

    "I can undertake three things for the prince. First, the prince will be in charge of the army. Second, let the concubine give birth to the little prince. Third, help the little prince to ascend to the supreme position. …”

    He changed his words: "I also have three requests."

    Liu Chongming seemed to be persuaded, and his expression softened: "You say it."

    "First, the prince is not allowed to doubt me again, second, obey me, third..."

    Qu Chenzhou's wrist suddenly moved, and an inch-long spike emerged from his sleeve, stabbing straight at the back of Liu Chongming's neck.

     But in the flash of light and flint, he suddenly screamed, clutching his pierced shoulders and falling to the ground, trembling and curling into a ball.

    The shadow guard who appeared silently stood behind Liu Chongming.

    "Qu Chenzhou, good luck," Liu Chongming stepped on his wound and smiled: "If you want to plot against me, I will make you regret it!"
