"Who cares about this title?" Liu Qiong'er saw Xu Huai still looking playful and smiling. She gritted her teeth angrily and said bitterly, "Don't you know that there is no point in what you are doing?"
"A few days ago, you were worried that I would do nothing to protect Wang Zhen and the others. Why has it become meaningless today? Women are so fickle!" Xu Huai said with a smile.
"I, I, you know what I mean, don't argue with me! If Mr. Wang has a chance to make a comeback, of course we will fight for it, but when did I ever say that I want you to take such a big risk?
risk to assassinate the imperial official?"
Seeing that Xu Huai didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until now, Liu Qiong'er stared at his shoulder and was so angry that she wanted to pounce on him and take a bite, and said,
"You kill Guo Caoling now, but what problem will you solve? Are the people behind him willing to stop? Will they come back with more force after some time? You are pretending to be a ghost, even if you can fool them for a while, you can still fool them.
Their life? If they kill Wang Zhen next time, what can you do? Is it possible that you can persuade Wang Zhen to leave the military stronghold and hide in the mountains and forests for the time being?"
"I have tried to persuade Wang Zhen, but it is obvious that even if he dies, he also wants to die in the open. There is no way he is willing to disappear without knowing anything; he is different from us after all." Xu Huai said.
"You know everything, why are you still so rash? Mr. Wang doesn't mean to seek compromise, but he wants to sacrifice his life for benevolence and justice. What else can we do besides fulfilling him?" Liu Qiong'er asked angrily.
"Do you think what Liu Qiong'er said makes sense?" Xu Huaixiao asked the dark-faced Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun.
"You are just messing around this time!" Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun said unceremoniously.
"How can you bear it when Zheng Hui deceives me that there are no heroes in Tongbai Mountain?" Xu Huai took off his bamboo hat and saber and put them on the steps and asked.
"If you want to kill Guo Caoling, just tell us and come and kill him together. Do you think we dare not do it?" Xu Wuliang said dissatisfied, "If we were afraid of this and that, how could we have gone through life and death with your father back then?
?”
"Didn't I want to hide it from you?" Xu Huai said with a bitter smile, "Uncle Seventeen and the others must be very angry, right?"
"Wu Jiang, Di Niang is still worried about your safety after all, but other people are more or less concerned about their own situation. Don't expect everyone to have righteousness in their hearts..." Xu Wukun has a gentle temper and feels that other people in Xinzhai are more concerned about their own situation.
It is normal for people to be angry about the assassination if they know the inside story.
Xu Wuliang was dissatisfied with some people and told Xu Huai in more detail about the situation at Shituoling:
"Everything else is fine. Since we have all fallen into the trap, we don't think too much about it. I just feel a little puzzled. However, Xu Guanshan and Su Laochang are two ignorant people who are afraid of getting into trouble; Su Lao
Chang even scolded Miss Liu, saying that it was Miss Liu who encouraged you to do this stupid thing; Miss Liu was so angry that she cried..."
The reactions of many people were not beyond Xu Huai's expectations: Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu and others were young and energetic, and they had fallen into the trap of bandits, so they would not care too much about it, but Xu Guanshan, Su Laochang, and Zhu Jia Xiaoze did.
Passively involved in this matter.
As the saying goes, the older you get, the less courageous you are. This refers to people like Xu Guanshan and Su Laochang.
However, this cannot be said to be their fault.
Liu Qiong'er said: "Even if you fall into the trap and become a bandit, you don't need to think about everything. But in the final analysis, everyone still wants to protect themselves, and not everyone wants to be a hero. You'd better come up with some rhetoric to make everyone think that you assassinated Guo Guo alone."
Cao Ling, you should bear the danger! Otherwise, there is no reason for everyone to be afraid of you!"
Xu Wukun and Xu Wuliang nodded.
Although Xu Wujiang, Su Di, Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu and others are more concerned about Xu Huai's safety, Xu Guanshan and Su Laochang have such big opinions, it is best to have a rationale to explain something.
Even if they looked at Xu Guanshan, Mr. Su couldn't afford it. He thought they were too weak and too forward-thinking, but after all, we are all grasshoppers tied to a tree, right?
Su Laochang and Xu Guanshan were legitimately ranked second and fourth, and Xu Wujiang had to listen to their opinions.
"Is this idea of helping the Prime Minister to make a comeback effective?" Xu Huai asked.
"It doesn't work. They all know that this matter can only be used to upset the people below. There is little hope. At least it is not worth taking such a big risk." Liu Qiong'er said.
"Mr. Su often said that you encouraged me to do this stupid thing. Did you have any excuse at the time?" Xu Huai asked.
"I don't know whether you are dead or alive, and I don't know if you can escape arrest. What does it mean if I get scolded a few times?" Liu Qiong'er said, "Besides, it's normal for Mr. Su to complain a few times. I can still be here.
Why should I argue with them at this critical moment?"
"Then I'll just say that you instigated me, otherwise it would be too troublesome to explain." Xu Huai said.
Liu Qiong'er's beautiful eyes widened and she scolded: "Why did I offend you?"
"Don't you think the name Chushan Yaksha Fox really suits you?" Xu Huai said.
"Did you forcefully push me to be the leader of this bullshit third village, and you just want me to take the blame for you?" Liu Qiong'er suddenly thought of the key point and asked with widened beautiful eyes.
"That's right," Xu Huai said calmly, "As you said, not everyone wants to be a hero, but there are some things I have to do. If I act against other people's will in everything,
Relationships are very difficult. Now you are taking the blame. I say it was you who instigated it. Even if others blame you, they can at most think in their hearts, "Only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise." They will not dare to offend you, the third boss, in the future.
Already..."
"Do you believe that I came into the room and threw a chair at your face?" Only then did Liu Qiong'er truly understand Xu Huai's true intention of asking her to take the third spot.
"Well, it's not advisable to stay in Huaiyuan Town for a long time. Zheng Hui should also know the news. Even though Deng Gui guessed that I might be hiding with the Prime Minister last night, he didn't dare to bear the crime of forcing the Prime Minister to death, so he didn't dare
Let's search. However, he asked Tang Tiande to raid the market with the intention of spreading news," Xu Huai said. "Zheng Hui may regard it as a trap, but we should leave Huaiyuan first to avoid any complications..."
"You also know that extraneous problems can cause problems!" Liu Qiong'er felt that after she learned about the assassination at the military camp in the early morning, the anger in her chest would take several days to dissipate.
"Before arriving at Shituoling, you should think about your words first," Xu Huai said to Liu Qiong'er.
"Have you ever seen such a bastard in your life?" Liu Qiong'er laughed angrily and turned to ask Xu Wukun and Xu Wuliang.
"I'd better trouble Miss Liu to think more..." Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang are still quite worried about Xu Wujiang, Di Niang and others have a grudge against Xu Huai because of this matter. After all, Xu Wujiang and the others were involved for no reason before.
I just hope that Liu Qiong'er will be more patient and take the blame.
"You just think that I, a female classmate, am easy to bully!" Liu Qiong'er said dissatisfied.
"We recognize you as the third leader. The worst we can do is keep an eye on Xu Huai from now on and prevent you from causing trouble to the third leader!" Xu Wuliang said.
"You can fool a ghost with your words!" Liu Qiong'er shouted.
"I'll hire a carriage to come over." Xu Wuliang called.
Seeing that Xu Huai was still injured and unable to ride a horse, Xu Wuliang took his daughter Xiaohuan and went out to hire a carriage; Xu Wukun also walked to the alley to observe the movements in the market, in case Zheng Hui and other assassins were unwilling to let Guo Caoling die in an unknown way.
white.
"Where are you injured?" Liu Qiong'er could see Xu Huai sitting on the steps, his body a little stiff. She was worried that he was too seriously injured.
"Fortunately, the next three to five days may only be enough to kill the little frog thief," Xu Huai played with the saber across his knees and asked Liu Qiong'er, "Are you really unwilling to bear this evil calamity?"
"Xu Wujiang and the others fell into the trap of bandits, but they were forced to do nothing. They thought more about self-protection. Perhaps their greatest ambition was to wait for one day to recruit people. And when it comes to recruiting people, it doesn't have to be the king. Who will punish the thieves?
They can't negotiate terms for who they surrender to. They don't care about Wang Zhen's life and death, which is actually normal. But I always feel that you seem to enjoy this thrilling feeling every step of the way. The danger in the eyes of others has a great influence on you.
lure,"
Liu Qiong'er smiled bitterly and sighed,
"I don't know why you give people such a weird feeling at such a young age, but you and Xu Wujiang are not the same people after all. Even if you may be recruited in the future, you will probably dismiss it? Whether it is to avoid interacting with
Xu Wujiang has a disagreement, or one day, you can leave at your convenience, and you still need me to be your puppet, right?"
"Don't talk about yourself in such a miserable way, I think you are quite happy with it!" Xu Huai said, "But you are right, I am not determined to be a copycat!"
"Where is your ambition?" Liu Qiong'er asked with her beautiful eyes open.
"I don't know either," Xu Huai said truthfully, "It's precisely because I don't know that I act like this..."
Rationally speaking, Xu Wujiang's position is not problematic.
They should wait for the situation to completely pass; at this time, they are not even small fish, and they are incapable of getting involved in such a deep and complicated political struggle.
His successful assassination of Guo Caoling this time only alleviated the immediate urgency, but the waves surging behind the scenes became more and more sinister.
For Tongbai Mountain, the situation has become more serious - Zheng Hui and the others cannot give up.
However, there was always an emotion in his heart that prevented him from standing idly by, just as strong as when he stood on the shore of the hawk's mouth that day.
After regaining consciousness, the occasional flash of memory fragments gave him great warning and reminders, but they were still too few.
However, he always felt that these emotions could not be without reason. Xu Huai deeply suspected that this might be related to those memories that he could not remember.
Therefore, he has no way to exclude these strong emotions when weighing the pros and cons.
But there was no way to explain this to Xu Wujiang and the others.
