Chapter 148 She is no longer alone. Ouyang Hengxi raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the best candidate for the leader of the Yu Kingdom was his son and not anyone else. Now it seems that his original bet was not wrong.
, at least you won’t help the wrong person anymore.
"Now it's your turn to choose the wine." The old voice sounded again, "Dong Jie, you choose first." "Yes," Dong Jie was more determined that the person the king wanted to save his life was him, let's not talk about the king's surrender.
He has the priority to choose. Not to mention that the king now knows that he knows which glass of wine is not poisonous wine and still allows him to make a choice. The question Ouyang Hengxi asked just now is already in a state of seeking death.
Dong Jie chose the wine on the left without hesitation. The king nodded in the tent, "Since you have made your choice, you two will drink it together." "Yes." Dong Jie took the wine glass from the slave's hand and put it in
The wine in the cup was poured in one gulp, but Ouyang Hengxi made no move while holding the wine.
The king stared at Ouyang Hengxi for a long time, "Why do you want to resist the decree?" "The common people don't dare, but since the king has already made the damn people drink the poisonous wine, there is no need for more common people."
By drinking this glass of poisonous wine, you will save the king the trouble of wasting an antidote." Ouyang Hengxi handed the wine glass back to the slave, "The king thinks the common people are right?"
Dong Jie stared at Ouyang Hengxi in shock, "What are you talking about? The king clearly said that the wine on the left is non-toxic."
"I have never heard the king say such a thing. If I heard correctly, the king's answer just now was the wine on the left, but he did not say that you would be safe if you drank the wine on the left." Ouyang Hengxi smiled lightly, "The king said
Although the Lord answered, he did not lie, but this does not mean that his answer is complete. Of course, his answer could also be that the wine on the left is poisonous. Brother Dong, you trust the Lord too much."
"Bold, how could the king lie to me..." Before Dong Jie finished speaking, something seemed to be stuck in his throat. Finally, it seemed that a force suppressed his breathing ability, and Dong Jie pulled his neck.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't breathe any fresh air. My cheeks gradually turned pale, and I fell to the ground suffocating under a completely unclear situation.
Ouyang Hengxi squatted sadly in front of Dong Jie, "The saddest thing is that you don't even know how you died." "You are indeed very smart, but how did you know that both glasses of wine were poisonous?"
The Lord asked.
Ouyang Hengxi stood up straight, "Actually, it's very simple. The king will think carefully about everything he does. If we were really asked to choose one of the two to test our luck today, then there would be no chance to ask a question each. Since the king
When we ask questions, we naturally have our own judgment standards. When the king himself doesn’t know who he will choose to be the Taifu, two glasses of wine will only have one state, either they are not poisonous at the same time, or they are both poisoned at the same time.”
If that's the case, how can you be sure that everyone has been poisoned?"
"Originally, the common people were not sure, but after answering the questions of the common people, the moment the king asked Dong Jie to continue to make the first choice, the common people knew that the wine was poisonous wine, because the king wanted to execute Dong Jie, so of course he used the simplest method to directly
After drinking this glass of poisonous wine, if there is no poisonous country leader, there is no need to waste time and use another reason." Ouyang Hengxi answered affirmatively.
The king sneered, "How did you know that I would definitely kill Dong Jie instead of you." "This trap is caused by the grassroots people fighting for Dong Jie. The grassroots people naturally have confidence." Ouyang Hengxi continued: "In fact, this matter is easy to talk about.
It’s even simpler. The king has always chosen to ignore and remain silent during the war between King Junqi and the prince, so not many civil and military officials know what your real thoughts are in your heart. The common people believe that the king has his own plans, so this
Naturally, I would not easily tell others about this matter, but now I have asked such a question. In addition to the cronies of the king in Youlong Palace, Cao Min and Dong Jie know the answer. If the king wants to kill me, he will know the truth.
People will be left with Dong Jie. Dong Jie is Ling Yuechong's people, and Ling Yuechong's people are also the people of King Junqi. The common people don't think that the king will let Jie walk out of this room alive. On the contrary, if the person who wants to die is Dong
Realm, then only the common people know about this matter, and the common people are the people who Qin is loyal to. The prince of the state is much smarter than the common people. When the Taifu supports the prince, not only does he not have to worry about the secret being leaked, but it will also increase the enthusiasm of the ordinary people to do things for the prince.
"You are smarter than I think, but what should you do if the person I answered originally was King Junqi? At that time, you will be the one who deserves death."
Ouyang Hengxi smiled deeply, "Master, it's better not to make assumptions, because hypothetical things will only happen in hypotheticals." "You are not only smart but also not afraid of death. From now on, you will be the Taifu appointed by everyone.
"In the Yu Kingdom, there are more than ten thousand people," the king looked directly at Ouyang Hengxi through the gauze, "I want to see what the people Qin Zhongwei found this time can do to stop him."
"King Junqi." "The common people don't understand. Since the king knows that King Junqi has evil intentions, why doesn't he directly take action to reduce King Junqi's title or suppress his military power? Now he is just watching a show.
"Looks like." Ouyang Hengxi asked boldly. In fact, he had wanted to ask Qin Zhonggui about this matter for a long time. Why did the king take no action against a person who peeked at his throne, and also gave him the country as an agent?
, isn’t this standard letting things go? It really makes people wonder whether his answer just now is true or false, and whether Bu Xiguo is the best candidate in his heart.
"Go down!" He didn't wait for the answer, and the answer seemed much harsher than before. Ouyang Hengxi raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the royal family of the Yu Kingdom also had secrets. Just based on his desperate attitude, he could already guess that Yu
There is a secret between the king of the country and King Junqi.
Ouyang Hengxi saluted the king, glanced at the dead Dong Jie on the ground, and left Youlong Palace expressionlessly. The rainstorm outside was fierce, and it didn't seem to stop at all. In fact, Ouyang Hengxi just avoided the important and took the easy.
He didn't answer the king's question because he didn't want him to feel that he was not easy to suppress. He didn't want to tell him that if he had just answered that the candidate in his mind was King Junqi, then he would have rushed out of the palace and left a mere palace.
Hundreds of guards seem to be unable to trap him. If you want to kill him, you are not qualified enough.
Ouyang Hengxi put away his thoughts and got on the carriage that the king was preparing to leave for him. Only then did he feel hungry in his stomach. Thinking about it, Nalan Qingyi should be worried if he knew the situation he was facing, but Qin Zhongwei would not
Foolish enough to tell them the truth.
In fact, Ouyang Hengxi's worries were correct. As soon as Qin Zhonggui returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could not withstand the interrogation of the three Nalan brothers and told the whole truth.
Nalan Qingyi was worried in panic, "What if, what if she..." Nalan Qingyi was trembling and couldn't say anything else. Nalan Zhenqi hurriedly patted Nalan Qingyi's shoulder to comfort him, "Brother
Don't worry, the master will be fine. She is so smart and powerful. How could something happen to her?" "But if the person the leader of the Yu Kingdom wants to stay is Dong Jie, wouldn't the master be in danger?" Na
Lan Zhijin said worriedly: "Seventh brother, no matter how powerful the master is, can he defeat hundreds of soldiers in the imperial city? We have seen that kind of battle when my father wanted to kill the master before..." "That's enough.
Tenth brother." Nalan Zhenqi lowered his voice and interrupted Nalan Zhijin's words. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Nalan Qingyi. Only then did Nalan Zhijin understand the meaning of Nalan Zhenqi's words and lowered his head.
No more talking about the head.
Qiao Shuang'er touched Nalan Zhijin's head, "Little one, I believe your master is not omnipotent. She can't even read her thoughts, so there is probably no one in the world who can conquer him."
There was a roar, and the sky suddenly thought, and then thunder and lightning struck, and within a short time it began to rain heavily in the sky. The raindrops hitting the ground made a loud sound, which was like hitting people's hearts so deeply that they couldn't even laugh.
Nalan Qingyi stood up, looked at the rain curtain, and suddenly rushed out of the house.
"Brother!" Nalan Zhenqi and Nalan Zhijin immediately followed him out. Nalan Qingyi stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion and looked quietly towards the street, waiting for the man's return.
Nalan Zhenqi and Nalan Zhijin knew in their hearts that Nalan Qingyi was waiting for the master to come back. They were no less worried than Nalan Qingyi, so they didn't say anything and stayed in the rain curtain waiting for the master.
After returning, perhaps only the icy rain can extinguish the helpless and eager flames in their hearts.
Xiao Yan slowly walked towards Nalan Qingyi, letting the rain drip on her cheek, "Master Nalan, I will wait for the master with you."
Qiao Shuang'er looked at the four people in the rain and felt warm in her heart. Then she rushed into the rain and grabbed Nalan Zhenqi's arm, "Although I can't share your sorrow with you, I can accompany you and wait for your master.
return."
Yue Ya stood a few meters away and quietly watched Qiao Shuang'er clinging to Xiao Yan's arm. Qiao Shuang'er seemed to feel something and turned to look at Yue Ya, seeing that the sadness in her eyes actually gave rise to a kind of sympathy.
Qiao Shuang'er let go of Nalan Zhenqi's arm and counted the steps backward, then smiled at Yue Ya, as if to tell her that the person Nalan Zhenqi cared about was her and not him.
Qin Zhongxu and Shen Zhenzhu looked at the people in the rain and stood under the eaves and shouted, "Master Nalan, come in with a cold and wait. We can understand your mood, but you can't make fun of your body." "We are fine."
Nalan Zhenqi wiped the rain from his face.
Shen Zhenzhu sincerely felt sorry for these people, "You should go inside, it's not a good idea to wait outside like this." "Mrs. Qin, thank you for your thoughtfulness," Nalan Qingyi, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said, "Qin
Madam, although this is not a good idea, at least it will not make us look too useless. Madam Qin, if Bu Xiguo encounters danger in the palace now, you may not be able to sit quietly in the room. Now I just want to wait for Yi Rong to come back and let her
Seeing that we are willing to wait for her in this storm, let her understand that she is no longer alone."
