Faced with the princess's question, Qi Yu answered simply and simply: "I am Qi Yu!"
There is nothing to hide.
Princess Sichuan smiled faintly when she heard this and said: "You look a little fatter than the rumors say; your character is a little more ruthless than I thought."
The statement that you are fatter can be ignored, but the second half of the sentence is more harsh, so how should you understand it?
Could it be that in the eyes of others, I was originally a very gentle and kind person?
I guess you guessed it right.
Because Princess Chuan quickly expressed her opinion: "I have heard a lot of rumors about you. From my impression, I feel that you are quite talented and gentle, and can barely be regarded as a modest gentleman.
.”
Qi Yu was startled and said with a smile: "Princess, you are exaggerating. Qi Yu comes from a poor family and has little talent and virtue. He dare not accept such comments."
"Young master Qi, you don't have to be modest. You know, I am also from Yongchuan. As a fellow countryman, I still know a lot about you."
Princess Sichuan smiled faintly and continued: "As far as I know, you are not only good at literary talent, but also good at painting and arithmetic. It is said that you are also involved in weapons. From this, it is not difficult to see that you are a very knowledgeable person. But I
What I never expected is that beneath your humility and kindness, you conceal a ruthless and decisive heart."
Qi Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this, nodded and said, "You're right! To tell you the truth, I once received advice from a famous person. He said that people should behave like a leech, able to bend and stretch freely, and be able to do well in good times.
When you are in adversity, you must assess the situation. Once you encounter the right opportunity to take action, you must make a decisive decision. Once you bite, you will be able to hit the target with a bloody blow."
These words were the teachings Meng Lanshan had given to Qi Yu back then, and the latter had always kept them in mind. Now, after having truly applied them, Qi Dalang finally understood them.
This kind of realization is like a pony crossing a river. Only after you really try it can you realize the depth of water and the shallowness of the water on the road to killing. Otherwise, you will just argue and talk on paper.
After the opening remarks, Qi Yu began to sit up straightly and said seriously: "I still have some unanswered questions in my heart. I hope the princess will give you some advice and help me solve my doubts."
Princess Chuan glanced at the restraints on her body, and then said calmly: "What do you want to know?"
This time, Qi Yu didn't hide it at all and said calmly: "I want to know all the secrets you know."
Princess Chuan chuckled and said, "Then, if I tell you, will you let me go?"
"No!" Qi Yu shook his head decisively and said clearly: "I don't want to lie to you. If you don't say it, it will be death, but after you tell it, it will be death as well."
"Haha..." Princess Chuan sneered a few times and said: "Since I will die if I say it or not, why should I say it? Give me a reason!"
Qi Yu said: "The reason is that after you tell me, I will make it easier for you."
"What's convenient?"
Qi Yu spoke very straightforwardly and told her directly: "I will give you a dignified death."
Princess Chuan was startled when she heard this, and her expression changed a few times. However, she didn't say anything, she was just thinking secretly.
Qi Yu continued: "Let's put it this way, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise to let you rest in peace after death, and will not tolerate any blasphemy by others. If not, I will transfer you to the inner guard, and you will be handed over by the Ministry of Punishment.
People will torture you, but I won’t list them for you one by one as to how miserable it is..."
Princess Chuan frowned slightly and continued thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Qi Yu advised again: "You must also know that my identity is just a censor. Theoretically, I have no power to decide your life or death. In other words, once the internal guards arrive, you will become
They've eaten the food in their bowls. At that point, even if you beg me to kill you, I won't be able to do anything. Haha, you'd better think about it carefully, there isn't much time left for you."
Princess Chuan still seemed unwilling to give up, and turned to Qi Yu to persuade her: "As long as you don't kill me, I will do anything you ask me to do. Also, I can also give you the wealth that the emperor can give you."
"Haha, I disappoint you. This kind of temptation doesn't work for me at all." Qi Yu smiled up to the sky and said: "To tell you the truth, I only have hatred and no pity for you.
Therefore, you must die. In fact, it’s okay if you don’t tell me, I’m just prompted by pure curiosity.”
Princess Sichuan's delicate body trembled, an undisguised sense of loss appeared on her face, and her white teeth began to bite her red lips.
Qi Yu stood with his hands behind his back, suddenly turned cold and said: "My patience time is up, I will count down to five. If you are still hesitant, you will never have a chance again! Five! Four!...
…”
"slow!"
Princess Sichuan stopped drinking first, and then sighed softly: "I am willing to say it! But, I have three conditions!"
"Conditions? You tell me first!" Qi Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
…
The three conditions for Princess Sichuan are as follows:
First, after she dies, no one is allowed to blaspheme her, especially her peerless appearance must be protected.
Second, she asked for a coffin and wanted to be buried in peace after her death. However, after her death, Qi Yu could not reveal her burial place.
Third, she wanted to put on makeup before she died and go to another world with a beautiful appearance.
"Do you agree?"
"Let me think about it..."
In the end, except for the third condition that needed to be negotiated, the other two conditions were agreed to by her.
The third reason why she was not allowed to do so was mainly because she was afraid that something unexpected would happen after she loosened her restraints. Yes, if she seized the opportunity to escape, her work would be in vain.
Seeing that he was cautious, Princess Chuan had no choice but to think of a compromise method.
That is, Qi Yu helped her tie up her hair in a messy bun without loosening her hair.
Well, there seems to be no risk in this, so I can agree to it.
Qi Yu thought about it for a while, then nodded solemnly, and praised her: "I didn't expect the princess to be so cooperative. Thank you very much, Qi Yu."
Princess Chuan first smiled miserably, and then explained: "Actually, these secrets are not important to me, and there is nothing difficult to tell, so I chose to tell you."
…
Then say it!
As the saying goes, when a bird is about to die, its song is sad; when a man is about to die, his words are also kind.
The conversation went very smoothly this time. Qi Yu basically didn't need to take the initiative to ask, Princess Chuan just talked about it in an orderly manner.
She spoke softly, as if she were telling a story.
A secret was revealed layer by layer.
The big cause of the whole thing starts with Emperor Taizong...
