A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1356

[Chapter 1346 Imperial Token]

“Everything is for the Chu Kingdom!” Qu Xiaocang repeated: “Everything is for… the Holy One!”

Hong Mendao’s expression returned to calm, he pondered for a while, and finally said: “When I return to the capital, every time I fall asleep , you will dream of the wind in the north, the sesame dumplings are delicious, but…the taste seems to be not as good as the mutton burritos, let alone the large wide noodles sprinkled with chopped green onion.” He sighed: ” So I suddenly realized that I was already used to the life there. Sometimes people are really strange. They want to escape from the original life every day, and when they really lose it, they realize that it is what they like the most.

” Are you… going back to the north?” Qu Xiaocang frowned slightly.

Hong Mendao smiled and said, “I just want to live a life that I really want to live. I have already packed up and am ready to set off tomorrow.”

Qu Xiaocang was silent for a moment, before saying: “Compared to the north, Shenhou Mansion needs you more now. ”

It’s like I’ve never come back.” Hong Mendao smiled and said, “Second Senior Brother, Shenhou once said that once you enter the Shenhou mansion, you will always be a person of the Shenhou man. I never thought about leaving the Shenhou mansion, I just hope that you In two years, let me take a walk and see for myself.”

Qu Xiaocang thought about it for a while before saying, “Go, wait for you to think about the dumplings in Zao’er Lane, just come back.”

Hong Men said, “Thank you two .

Senior Brother.” After a pause, he said, “There is one more thing I want to ask you.”

“You say it!”

“Even though Senior Senior Brother has done things that shouldn’t be done, in private, we were brothers.” Hong Mendao said slowly: “If the second senior brother can send someone to bury the senior brother properly, I think the brothers will all be grateful.”

Qu Xiaocang hesitated for a while, and then said softly: “He has been buried, you don’t have to worry about this. Hong

Mendao got up, bowed deeply to Qu Xiaocang, and without saying a word, turned around to the door, suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, “Little Junior Sister has not entered a grain of rice for three days, she has respected Senior Senior Brother and You, we can’t persuade us.” He went out and didn’t look back.

Qu Xiaocang sat for a long time and finally got up.

Ximen Zhanying was placed under house arrest in a separate courtyard in Shenhou Mansion. This is Ximen Wuhen’s office in Shenhou Mansion. It is said that it is an office, but it is actually a bookstore. The real secret of Shenhou Mansion , and never here.

Qu Xiaocang came to the door, and outside the door were two female officials of the Shenhou Mansion.

Although the Shenhou Mansion is dominated by men, it has also trained a group of female officials. The number is not large, but they are all smart and capable.

The door of the house was locked from the outside. In fact, this lock was not needed. In the whole world, it was very rare to be able to escape easily from the house arrest of the Shenhou Mansion. When he walked to the door, Qu Xiaocang heard a strange movement inside. It seemed to be the sound of sharpening a knife. He ordered the door to be unlocked and entered the house. Sure enough, he saw Ximen Zhanying holding a knife and sharpening a knife on a sharpening stone.

After Qu Xiaocang came in, Ximen Zhanying didn’t even lift his head.

“This knife is already very sharp, there is no need to continue to sharpen it.” Qu Xiaocang sat down on the chair and said lightly: “I sent someone to bring you books, which are all classics left by ancient sages, read more Reading the teachings of saints is not harmful to you.”

Ximen Zhanying raised her head and sneered, “I didn’t like reading since I was a child, you should know better than anyone else.”

”

Why don’t you eat?” Qu Xiaocang stared at Ximen Zhanying

, that beautiful face has obviously lost a lot of weight: “When you were young, Shenhou told you that no matter when you are, you should never let yourself lose your physical strength,

and never say no to food.”

Ximen Zhanying stood up .

, retracted the knife into the sheath around his waist, stared at Qu Xiaocang and said coldly, “What are you trying to do? What wrong did I make, why are you putting me under house arrest?”

“House arrest?” Qu Xiaocang He frowned and said, “Did you forget that I told you that this is what the Lord of God meant, and the Lord of God asked you to stay here for two months and study hard. When he comes back, he will personally ask him, if he can let him If the old man is satisfied, you can leave.”

“Examination?” Ximen Zhanying said, “Second Senior Brother, do you believe in such a reason?” He clenched his fist and said coldly, “Tell me the truth, the Qi family is in the end. what happened?”

Qu Xiaocang did not change his face, and said lightly, “Why do you ask this?”

Ximen Zhanying sneered, “You know very well that you put me under house arrest just to separate me from the Qi family.” In front of Xiao Cang, her beautiful eyes were full of coldness: “What happened?”

Qu Xiaocang pondered for a moment, and finally said: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to the Qi family, it’s just some small trouble, soon It

can be solved.”

“You lied to me.” Ximen Zhanying said angrily: “If it’s just a little trouble, why do you put me under house arrest? You…you’re just worried that I’ll be involved in the Qi family’s disaster. Isn’t it?”

“Since you know, why ask more?” Qu Xiaocang frowned and said, “No one dares to touch a single hair of you here, I can assure you.” He sighed, “Little Junior Sister, don’t. If the child is angry again, I am your senior brother, and I will never do anything to harm you.”

Ximen Zhanying snorted coldly, and said, “Then you know, I have already married into the Qi family, and I will take care of everything in the Qi family. I can’t get rid of the relationship, and I don’t want to let it go. From the day I started my family, I was ready to share the blessings and misfortunes with the Qi family.” After a pause, his voice softened slightly: “Second senior brother, tell me, Qi What happened to the family, and… how is he now?”

Although Ximen Zhanying is impulsive and even reckless, he is by no means a dull person. If there is any change in the starting price, it must be from Qi It started on Ning, she understood this, and naturally she was extremely worried about Qi Ning’s safety.

“He’s fine.” Qu Xiaocang said, “Just stay here with peace of mind.” Staring into Ximen Zhanying’s eyes, he said, “Since you really care about him that much, you should naturally understand that if he knows that you are being held by the Marquis of God. He will naturally feel at ease with the protection of the government, but he definitely doesn’t want to see you torture yourself. If you want to see him, you have to live, and if you want to live, you can only eat.”

Ximen Zhanying stared at Qu Xiaocang His eyes suddenly turned and walked out of the door. When he walked to the front of the door, the two officials who were guarding the door immediately raised their knives and blocked Ximen Zhanying’s way.

“Get out of the way!” Ximen Zhanying had already drawn the knife in his hand, and raised the knife to challenge. Those two knives changed quickly, which did not hurt Ximen Zhanying, but made Ximen Zhanying unable to move forward at all.

“Stop it!” Qu Xiaocang stood up abruptly and shouted sharply, “Little Junior Sister, what are you doing?”

“I’m going to find him!”

Qu Xiaocang’s figure flashed, and he had reached Ximen Zhanying

‘s side, reaching out to reach out

On Ximen Zhanying’s shoulder, he pulled hard, and Ximen Zhanying had been pulled away, with a cold expression: “I told you, staying here, you can’t get out of Shenhou’s mansion, if you use your anger, it will only make things worse. , even… it will kill the person you have been worried about!”

Ximen Zhan Ying was stunned, Qu Xiaocang did not explain much, and said solemnly: “Watch her.” He never looked back. Go with your hands behind your back.

At dusk, the eunuch Guihe came to the Shenhou Mansion. Qu Xiaocang was no stranger to this person. When he was called into the palace for the first time, he knew that Qi Ning was suspected of treason. The emperor of the bead curtain didn’t say anything at that time.

Qi Ning suspected that the grey robe was a master of the eldest disciple of Baiyun Island. It was also Guihe who personally introduced Qu Xiaocang to know him in the palace. In fact, the plan to assassinate Qi Ning was precisely the eunuch who was facing Qu in front of the emperor. Xiao Cang explained.

Qu Xiaocang knew that Guihe was indeed the most trusted person by the emperor today. After Eunuch Fan der Haifan, who was beside the emperor, disappeared, Guihe became the closest eunuch around the emperor.

The arrival of Guihe immediately let Qu Xiaocang know that the emperor had a new will.

After taking Guihe to a room that would never have ears separated by walls, Guihe took out half a black iron card from his arms, and Qu Xiaocang immediately took out half a black iron card from his body, neither of them said a word. Zizi put the black iron plate together, and it fits seamlessly into a complete iron plate. The front of the iron plate carries the word “emperor”, and the back is a carved word “order”.

The Shenhou Mansion was directly under the leadership of the emperor, and all the people, including the Shenhou, were of course obeyed by the emperor’s orders.

When the emperor ordered, UU read www.sonicmtl.com In addition to occasionally summoning the gods to the palace to personally assign tasks, more often they sent confidant eunuchs to use this imperial edict as a token to convey the will, half of which was in the emperor’s office. In his hand, the other half was in the hands of the Marquis of God. After Ximen Wuhen’s body returned to the capital, the imperial edict that was carried by Ximen Wuhen was naturally found. When Xuanyuan Po was not in the capital, he was the second emperor. Senior brother Qu Xiaocang naturally took on the important task of protecting half of the imperial edict. He always carried it on his body. At this moment, the imperial edict was merged into one, which proved that Guihe was ordered by the emperor to convey the secret decree.

Qu Xiaocang determined that there was no problem with the imperial edict, put away the token, knelt on the ground, and waited for Gui He to convey the secret message.

Guihe, however, stretched out his hand to support Qu Xiaocang, and said with a smile, “The Lord of God, please get up first, there is a decree from the sage, which can only be read by the prince, and it will be destroyed after reading it.” He took the secret order and handed it to Qu Xiaocang, Qu Xiaocang took it with both hands and glanced at it, his face changed slightly, but he quickly held the secret order into a ball, and when he opened his hand again, the secret order had become powder.

“The Marquis of God is really good.” Gui He whispered with a smile: “The sage has a decree. After completing the task, the Marquis of God will bring things into the palace to receive the reward in person.”

Qu Xiaocang looked calm and asked, “The secret decree does not say a time limit. , I wonder if my father-in-law can tell me!”

“Three days!” Guihe said: “Within three days, the Marquis of God must handle this matter neatly. Marquis of God knows that if this matter is negligent, it is very likely that It has caused a lot of trouble, and the emperor knows that the Shenhou Mansion will not let him down, so I entrust this important task to you.”

Qu Xiaocang nodded and said, “Don’t worry, father-in-law, within three days, I will enter the palace to resume my life!”
