A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 179 Hatred
The two of them don't wait to see each other.

especially--

Now it's because of Qi Huan...

It means a little bit extra jealous.

Qin Song kept his face cold and didn't respond.

Gu Zhan said: "Miss Qi's family caught a cold."

It is clear at a glance who Qin Song is aiming at, what he means is that even if you go in, you won't be able to see him.

But due to the presence of the servants of the Qi family, he still had to care about Qi Huan's reputation, so he didn't say anything directly.

After Gu Zhan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Song's answer, so he walked over to lead the horse.

Qin Song came here this time...

Saying thank you is just an excuse to see Qi Huan.

His eyes darkened.

At this moment, I was really annoyed.

During the day in Prince Rui's Mansion, because Qi Huan was taken away by Qi Wenyan, he didn't think much about it. Now that he bumped into Gu Zhan coming out of the gate of Marquis Changning's mansion, he realized later——

Qi Wenyan went and came back, Gu Zhan disappeared when a group of them grabbed Ye Xunyi to speak.

Gu Zhan's thoughts on Qi Huan...

Although neither of the two families made a clear statement, everyone in the capital now knows about it.

This is really his carelessness!

Qin Song is not a person who likes to think about nothing, but at this moment, the thoughts in his mind went back and forth several times.

Gu Zhan led the horse away, while the young servant of the Qi family waited hesitantly.

Seeing that he finally looked at him again, he immediately became cautious: "Master Qin, you..."

The last time Qin Song came over, the house was turned upside down, although most of the servants didn't know what happened, but at that time there was even a death...

No matter how you look at it, the relationship between the two families should be at odds now.

Although Mrs. Qin and the second son of Qin came to the door to withdraw their marriage, they looked at each other in a friendly manner, but there were different opinions about the reasons for the Qin family's withdrawal. In short, the relationship between the Qi and Qin families is definitely delicate and abnormal. .

Qin Song said: "Thanks to Miss Qi for helping my sister today, I am here to thank you. Since Miss Qi is not feeling well, I will come back another day."

After speaking, he led the horse away without looking back.

The little boy of the Qi family stood there and let out a sigh of relief, but he only felt that he had escaped——

You came to thank you empty-handed ah?And with such a stinky face, it's more likely that she came to find fault!
After all, Qin Xiaohou didn't come in, which is a good thing for the mansion. After all, if the old Houye and the others didn't socialize, it's time to go back, and the servant hurriedly cheered up to do things again.

At sunset, the whole city is full of smoke, and the roads are crowded, full of pedestrians returning home.

At this time, the restaurant is also crowded with people, so it is not suitable for talking about things.

Two pairs of master and servant led the horses and walked on foot. Gu Zhan chose the nearest tea house with a big face.

The capital is bustling, and there are night shows for storytellers and singers in teahouses, but this hour is relatively quiet.

Gu Zhan took the two adjacent private rooms upstairs, and entered the innermost room with Qin Song.

Jiang Xuan and Jian Xinghai looked like door gods, one on the left and the other on the right, poking at the door, staring at each other and ignoring each other.

The clerk rushed to deliver some ready-made melon and fruit snacks, and then said: "The tea should be brewed fresh, what kind of tea do you two drink? We have..."

"No need." Qin Song was in a bad mood and dismissed him directly.

The guy is also a sensible person. The two of them are well-dressed and well-behaved. One can see that if you are rich, you are expensive. This teahouse is in the business of receiving and delivering. Just look at the two of them entering the door but they asked for two rooms together. This is for talking about things.

The room should be on the farthest side, and there is an empty room next door, just to prevent the partition wall from having ears and people listening to the bottom of the wall.

"Okay, you two sit down slowly, and if you need anything, just say hello downstairs, the little ones are always there." The man was very witty, and he left with a smile on his face.

The door is closed.

Qin Song is in a bad mood at the moment, and his patience is even worse.

He tapped his fingers on the table, raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Zhan, "What do you want to talk about? Just say it if you have something to say."

"Let's say everything clearly at once." Gu Zhan said: "I never got into the matter of your interception and killing in the suburbs last time, but there has never been any enmity between you and me. Marquis Wu Cheng, you can't afford to take such a big risk Go make things difficult for me. It happened at that moment, I know you are targeting the prince."

Although Gu Zhan, the heir of the Pingguo government, can kill whatever he wants, but for him and for the crown prince——

These are two distinct things again.

No matter what excuse Qin Song had, if he went after the crown prince, that would be murdering the king and plotting rebellion, a serious crime that can be punished by the nine clans!
Even if this kind of thing is seen through by Gu Zhan...

At least verbally, Qin Song would never admit it face to face anyway.

but--

It's the most boring thing to hide with some people who know each other well.

Therefore, although Qin Song didn't admit it, he chose to remain silent, and gave a cold snort with a half-smile.

Jiang Xuan, who was guarding the door, first heard that his family's eldest son hastily exposed Qin Xiaohou's old background in person. The news was too violent, and he was suddenly shocked, every string in his body was tensed, and he turned his head to look at it. The door of the room was closed, thinking that if Lord Qin Xiaohou was furious and killed someone to silence him, he would have to rush in to help block the knife.

Then Qin Song showed his default attitude...

Jian Xinghai on the other side of the door also staggered, turning his head suddenly, staring at the door, clenching his fists and getting ready to punch Gu Shizi back once he rushed out.

but--

The two people in the room were calm, and there was no sign of making a move, or about to do it.

The two of them looked at each other outside the door...

The masters didn't fight inside, so they couldn't do it first!

The two of them embarrassed each other for a moment, then straightened their backs pretending to be nonchalant, retreated to their respective positions and stood up decently.

In the room, Qin Song sneered and said, "You don't intend to report on me. What's the use of saying this in private? Could it be that you want to blackmail me?"

After this happened, Gu Zhan saw through it immediately.

But after meeting several times, he never mentioned it.

Although he has no real evidence, this is one aspect, but his direct sister is gaining power, if he wants to seize this matter and make something out of it...

It is also difficult for Qin Song to escape perfectly!
Gu Zhan didn't say anything before, but now he's looking for him for a showdown...

Everyone is discerning, and Qin Song is also very clear, it's because of Qi Huan!
Gu Zhan wanted to use this as an excuse to warn him to stay away from Qi Huan!
However, he didn't mention Qi Huan's name explicitly.

Gu Zhan understood what he meant, and also understood the sarcasm in his words, but he didn't follow along. He still went back to the previous topic, and asked Qin Song coldly: "I want to know what you dare to say?" The reason why the world is in disarray.”

"The reason?" Qin Song pulled the corners of his lips mockingly, showing a non-cooperative attitude.

What happened that day is actually very clear——

The remnants of King Xin were besieged by the imperial mausoleum and were about to put the prince to death, but Qin Song justly led people to sneak out of the capital secretly, and intercepted and killed Gu Zhan who was going to rescue him.

In the face of such facts, normal people's thinking would directly determine that Qin Song and those traitors are together.

Now Gu Zhan asked him this in person...

Seems redundant!
"Back then, King Xin wanted to win the throne by killing his father and king. This move was not tolerated by the laws of heaven and morality. In the end, he was punished and cast aside by the world. This is a foregone conclusion. Now, he still has the remnants of his crimes and is unwilling to do so. He is still secretly looking for opportunities to overthrow the court, but let alone the fact that King Xin was such a critic at the time. The throne is not stable, and now, the descendants of his line have been cut off long ago. Even if his remnants are lucky enough to assassinate the prince, or even His Majesty, who will take the throne to? After so many years, the power of Xinwang Dynasty has long been Even if they succeed in killing the king now, they are just making wedding dresses for others.” Gu Zhan frowned slightly, fixed his eyes on him, and his expression was always serious: “You Wu Chenghou You became famous at such a young age, not just relying on the legacy of your ancestors, but relying on your brains and vision... You didn't even respond to the courtship of the princes of His Majesty, and there was no reason to associate with the remnants of King Xin."

Qin Song didn't admit it or deny it, he just turned his eyes away.

Gu Zhan sighed slightly, and said again: "I know you won't do anything that has no benefit at all, not to mention that you are not alone, and you have the Qin family and the entire Wuchenghou Mansion behind you."

Qin Song simply closed his eyes, still ignoring him.

Gu Zhan didn't care either, he continued: "You are not an accomplice of Xin Wang Yu Ei, but you want to take advantage of the fire to push and buy time and opportunity for their assassination. You just want to put the prince to death, why?"

Qin Song's actions seem contradictory at first glance, but Gu Zhan can see through him at a glance.

Qin Song is not a desperate lunatic, he still cares about his family and close relatives, so on the surface, he will never take the initiative to design or participate in any disputes in the court. Blending, it is even more impossible to take the initiative to kill the king.

But that day—

He was indeed the one who tried to drag the prince to death!

In the eyes of outsiders, this Marquis Wu Cheng should be a neutral and pure minister who does not form cliques and is loyal to the imperial court. However, when the incident of interception and killing happened last time, Gu Zhan discovered that Qin Song's thoughts were very serious. not simple.

This person is actually not loyal to the court, nor to the emperor!

At this stage, he is only forced to put on the mask of a good courtier because of the pressure of the imperial power and the burden of his family.

Of course, you can't say that he is a traitor——

Because when nothing happens, he is also conscientiously working for the court, managing his own official career and family.

And the last time he did that, it was obvious that there was a suitable opportunity and he just happened to bump into it.

He did that without anyone noticing it. If he succeeded at that time, he would sneak back to the city in the dark and go to court the next day. He would still be the conscientious, loyal and patriotic Marquis of Wucheng Qin Song, and he would not participate. After that, any partisan disputes among the princes.

In his heart, he had a deep hatred towards the royal family, or towards the emperor and prince.

But he is too aware of the terrible backlash consequences once this hatred is exposed, in order to protect his family and himself...

This hatred, he can actually hide and put it aside indefinitely.

It was because he understood his thoughts that Gu Zhan didn't report it to the emperor, and dared to talk openly and honestly with him in private.

But Qin Song doesn't want to talk about it!
There are some things that he buries in his heart, and no one can do anything about him...

But as Gu Zhan said, there are still his entire family and close relatives behind him who need to worry, he can't drag them all out and put them on the fire.

Therefore, he has been trying his best to suppress his emotions, ignoring Gu Zhan's questioning.

And the reason why it took so long for Gu Zhan to come to him for a showdown was naturally because it took time to think about and check some things.

He does not fight uncertain battles!

Now that the topic has been picked, Gu Zhan continued on his own: "If I'm not wrong, you must be because of the old story that your old Hou Ye died in the battle in Nanjiang, right?"

This topic really cannot be brought up!

Qin Song's suppressed emotions finally exploded out of control at the moment when Gu Zhan mentioned his father.

Huo De opened his eyes, stood up against the table, and stared fiercely at Gu Zhan's face: "You want to say that I am unreasonable and unreasonable, don't you? Or do you want to say that death in battle is a matter for every general? Things that the family has to bear? For example, Gu Shizi, you have endured these things since you were a child, and even you have lost more relatives than me because of this? Or you still want to tell me that my father's death, I don't care about it at all. There's nothing to be aggrieved about, because with his death, he has earned our Qin family a title that can be honored as the sixth king?"

Qin Songyue became more and more angry when he spoke, and finally had nowhere to vent, so he raised his hand and waved the fruit plate on the table.

Jiang Xuan and Jian Xinghai at the door heard a crackling sound inside, and their scalps went numb again.

Qin Song turned around the room violently, and finally turned back to Zhan, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Gu Zhan, stop pretending to be smart here."

Qin Song is actually a good hand at hiding emotions.

His gaffe was a bit beyond Gu Zhan's expectation.

Gu Zhan also didn't want to mention those tragic past events on the battlefield,
For others, these things are a legend, a piece of history. Speaking of it, it can be a medal or a merit, but for people like them who have lost their loved ones...

All that's left is pain and wounds.

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. After a battle, life and death are unpredictable." He just said perfunctorily.

How much bitterness and powerlessness are there when I say these words...

Only he himself knows best!

Then, Qin Song laughed out loud again.

After laughing, he gritted his teeth and said in an even more ironic tone: "The city in southern Xinjiang has been guarded for so many years, but it was destroyed when King Lin was defending the city. You really never doubted it and took it seriously. Do you think this is all in order?"

The titles of most of the extant lords of the Dajin family are from the beginning of the founding of the country, and the ancestors of each family got it because of the merits of the dragon. The Qin family in Wuchenghou's mansion is Qin Song's father, Qin Yufeng, who died in the southern border fifteen years ago. The emperor chased after him.

At that time, the battle was lost, because the line of defense collapsed, and even caused heavy losses to the court, and Dacheng robbed three cities in total.

Dajin's army retreated to the current Tianxian Yanling Pass, and only then re-established a new line of defense and guarded the southern border.

In the next decade or so, Dacheng tried dozens of times to commit crimes in the north, but all failed.

In the battle in southern Xinjiang that year, the coach of Dajin was the emperor's only direct brother, and he was even younger by a whole round of Lin Wang.

During that battle, Qin Song and Gu Zhan were still very young, but they only heard that it was an extremely tragic battle.

Coach Lin Wang Yunxiang and Deputy Commander Qin Yufeng led more than ten thousand city defenders in a bloody battle for three days, but they were finally defeated by the Dacheng army. They tried their best to buy time for the people in the cities along the way to retreat to Yanling Pass to avoid disaster, but in the end the whole army Annihilated, including generals, all [-] people were killed.

Therefore, although this battle was defeated, it completely aroused the blood and anger of the people of the Great Hall.

It is said that in that year, the imperial court did not even enforce conscription. Among the common people who escaped from the border towns to Yanling Pass, almost [-]% of the able-bodied men volunteered to join the army.

The imperial court has always flaunted that in that battle, the Dajin was a glorious defeat.

It is also because of this that Qin Yufeng left the title of Marquis of Wucheng for Qin Song.

The title of Marquis can be passed on for three generations, and then it can be passed down to the Earl's Mansion, and it can be passed on for another three generations——

With his death alone, the glory of six generations of the family was changed.

In fact, it’s not a loss at all!
But at this moment, Qin Song's eyes were already filled with monstrous hatred.

Gu Zhan faintly realized what he was going to say, and frowned for a moment.

But before he could stop talking, Qin Song sneered again, full of malice: "It is said that the corpse of His Royal Highness Lin Wang was collected by Miss Gu from Pingguo Duke's Mansion for thousands of miles, and went outside the pass to collect it for him!"
