Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 9 It's You
When Qi Wen was released home, Qi Yuan and Qi Chen hurried up to express condolences.Seeing that Qi Wen didn't change his clothes except that his clothes were dirty in the prison for the past few days.His complexion was a little pale, he was not tortured, he was still able to walk, and his body was not very weak, so he was relieved.

Li-shi looked at Qi Wen, who was thinner than the previous few days, and burst into tears with distress, and hurriedly asked the maid to help Qi Wen into the house, and she followed in to serve.Afraid of being seen by Qi Yuan crying at a woman's house, he felt bad luck and useless to be disgusting.

When Qi Ze saw Qi Wen who was safe and sound, he knew that her guess was right. Emperor Zhaozheng really had the heart to rectify the court, otherwise he would not let the Qi family go.However, the speed and personnel of this official to fill the vacancy are a bit strange, but she couldn't say clearly why it was so strange, she just thought that she was too sensitive, so she had to put it aside and not think about it.

In a quiet and deep forest, there is a pavilion with exquisite structure and scattered scattered.Surrounded by willows drooping, pines and cypresses stand tall.Incense is lit around the pavilion, and the smoke curls up in strands.In the center there are two young men who are playing chess, their aura is compelling, if you look carefully, you will find that there is hostility entangled in it, and they are fighting endlessly.

"I'm glad that the Qi family was able to turn the crisis into peace this time, and my father must be very happy too. The matter of accepting bribes in the imperial examination has come to an end, and the court has also been quiet. What do you think? Fourth emperor brother." Said the gentle-looking man among them.

"That's right! Father is relieved. Brother Sanhuang, who do you think the Qi family was able to rely on this time? This person is really mysterious." Another handsome man took the conversation.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, who do you think is it? Anyway, this person should be from the Qi family." Murong Sheng looked at Murong Xiu with a smile.

"Oh, my brother also thinks that he is from the Qi family. With Qi Yuan alone, he can't think of such a way. It's a pity that such a talented person is buried." Murong Xiu looked at the opposite person, with determination in his eyes, The black chess piece in hand captured a white chess piece. "Brother Sanhuang, you have to pay attention, the younger brother is about to win."

"Fourth Emperor Brother, I haven't played chess with you for a long time. I didn't expect that your chess skills have improved a lot. However, I have not been idle during this period of time. I often think about how to play every move well. Fourth Emperor Brother. Be careful." As he said that, the white chess in his hand immediately bypassed the black chess, occupying a territory of his own, comparable to the black chess.

"Brother Sanhuang's chess skill is still so high, I admire it." Murong Xiupi said with a smile.

"Fourth emperor brother is not bad either." Murong Sheng greeted him with a meaningful light in his eyes.

The two looked up at each other at the same time, with the same unfathomable inscrutability in their eyes, but they were not humble at all.This time, the Qi family's affairs are full of weirdness, it seems that we have to investigate carefully, and we can't let the other party take the lead.

At the same time, in Chenyue Building, Que Yu was playing with a delicate and small dagger in his hand. The handle was inlaid with various diamonds. The blade was thin and sharp, and it looked expensive at first glance.

Phytolaca next to him was half-bent and reporting the situation with his hands arched. "Master, according to reports from the spies, the Qi family's solution this time comes from a letter written by Qi Ze, the third son of Qi."

Qi Ze?Why is it him again?Looking at this method, one can tell that it was definitely not the old man Qi Yuan who came up with it, but he did not expect it to be him, a member of the military department who just took office a while ago.

When Meng Yanxi heard it, he exclaimed in surprise: "What? It turned out to be him? The person who asked me to treat horse disease a few days ago." Meng Yanxi felt that it was a pity that the Qi family was not destroyed, why did Qi Ze stay behind? , He hasn't heard the name for a long time.He had just stepped out of the shadow of Old Madam Mu, and he managed to coax Old Madam Mu away in the past few days.

Que Yu put away the dagger he was playing with, put it on his waist, stood up and was about to leave.

"Alas, Yelan, where are you going?" Meng Yanxi asked quickly seeing that Que Yu was about to leave.

"That goes without saying, of course I'm going to meet this third young master Qi, and let me see what kind of person he is who can bring the Qi family back from the death line and destroy my plan." After finishing speaking, he opened the curtain walked out.

He actually knows how to write in a letter and send it out secretly. It seems that he is a person who knows how to hide and restrain. Generally, this kind of person should not be taken lightly.

Seeing Que Yu's leaving back, Meng Yanxi couldn't help but feel sympathy for Qi Ze. Originally, the crown prince and King Jin didn't intend to take care of the Qi family. If they hadn't given advice to the Qi family, the Qi family would not be far from death. A Qi Ze appeared to guide the Qi family.

Although it is understandable for Qi Ze to come up with ideas for the Qi family as a member of the Qi family, he did not know that offending this master is definitely more terrifying than exterminating the clan. After that, he will not be able to live in peace and stability. It is estimated that he should send out members of the military department tomorrow. News of Uiro's sudden death.

Thinking about it carefully, this Qi Ze is quite pitiful, forget about the fact that he asked him to treat the horse's disease, just treat him as unlucky.

Qi Ze didn't know what was going to happen to her at this time, and was looking at the official documents accumulated in the past few days at the horse farm of the Ministry of War.She had been observing the situation at Qi's house a few days ago when there was trouble at Qi's house, and she didn't come to the racecourse in time to read the official documents.

It would be fine if I read a little every day, but now I have accumulated so much that the table cannot fit.Qi Ze sighed as he looked at the official documents that were piled higher than hers. It seemed that he had been working hard these few days, so he went to bed late.

Qi Ze felt a little bored just after reading some official documents, and wanted to stand up and move around, and read them later.But as soon as he stood up, he felt something was wrong, and a strong wind blew past his face.Before the brain could react, the body reacted first, dodging the strong wind.

When Qi Ze wanted to see what was going on, the strong wind came again, and at the same time he saw the purple corner of his clothes, which flashed past quickly, as if what he saw just now was an illusion.Purple clothes?Could it be...

Just as he was thinking, the strong wind suddenly reached his chest, Qi Ze wanted to dodge quickly, but this time he didn't have time, the owner of the strong wind hit him hard on the shoulder.There was a sharp pain in her shoulder, and Qi Ze was in pain, but before Qi Ze could yell out, the other party pressed her against the wall behind her, the wind whistled bitterly in her ears, her back ached, and the other party's hand was still firm on the injured shoulder.

Qi Ze felt dizzy, couldn't help lowering his head, and couldn't open his eyes.Her martial arts is not weak, but obviously the opponent's is higher, which makes her a little powerless to parry.The force that hit her shoulder was not small, and the other party was still crushing the sore spot on the wound viciously, so painful that she almost bit her tongue.

"Huh? Isn't martial arts weak, and you can escape my first blow."

A very magnetic voice came from my ears, deep and thick, with an indescribable charm and low hoarseness, like a jar of mellow and rich thousand-year-old wine, which made people fascinated.

Qi Ze couldn't help looking up, his vision was a little blurry at first, but then it gradually became clear enough for her to see his face clearly.The captivating peach-blossom eyes like that day, with dark waves flowing, gorgeous and willful.Looking at it up close this time, I found that it looks better than looking at it from a distance. The skin is like jade and has no blemishes.

As expected, it was him, Que Xiaogongye Que Yu, who did not expect him to know that it was her who did it.

While Qi Ze was looking over, Que Yu was also looking at her.After being dazed, he smiled next to Qi Ze's ear and said, "I was still thinking about who this third young master Qi Ze is? So it was you, the one who took care of the army and horses in the training ground that day."

Qi Ze couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, did he notice her that day?She originally thought that he would not notice her, after all, no one would go to see someone in a very low-status martial arts training ground.

While Qi Ze was surprised, Que Yu was also a little depressed, why his brain was not working anymore.Qi Ze was looking after the military horses that day, and he was a member of the military department, Wailang, who had just taken office, and his demeanor did not look like ordinary personnel in a martial arts training ground.After such a calculation, he knew that the person who had been staring at him that day should be Qi Ze.

Thinking of the way Qi Ze looked at him that day made Que Yu feel irritable for no reason, and then he let go of the hand that was on Qi Ze's shoulder, walked to the table and sat down, picked up a cup and poured himself a glass Tea.

He really doesn't regard himself as an outsider, and he can still be so casual in the horse farm of the Ministry of war.

Qi Ze covered the sore spot on his shoulder, carefully staring at Que Yu to prevent him from attacking again suddenly.She may not be able to avoid being injured, but she still has to ask what should be asked.

"Is it yours to fill in the vacancies of local officials?" Although the tone was questioning, it was full of affirmation.

Que Yu didn't seem to expect Qi Ze to react so quickly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled casually: "Yes."

Seeing Que Yu admit it so readily made Qi Ze a little stunned, she thought it was strange, until she saw Que Yu she understood a little bit.Since he already knew that Emperor Zhaozheng wanted to rectify the court, if he didn't do something after that, he wouldn't be him.

As an emerging family, the Que family was very domineering and aggressive as soon as their methods appeared, suppressing many established families.Just like the Qi family, although they have a profound background, they can't compare to the rookie of the Que family.This has already caused dissatisfaction among many aristocratic families, and it is certain that the Que family will be suppressed in private.

After all, who didn't come here step by step, and it took hundreds of years to stop in this Ding capital to achieve the achievement that is admired by thousands of people today and no one dares to mess with it.Unexpectedly, the Que family had a faint tendency to overwhelm them in just over ten years in Southern Chu, and this was unbearable for anyone.

The Que family had a long way to go if they wanted to gain a foothold in Southern Chu, but no one thought that the young master Que would take this opportunity to install his own people in the court, and now there would be fewer people who could oppose the Que family.Even if they still want to take the opportunity to make trouble, the huge power is already prohibitive.

"Then why did you destroy the Qi family? There is no conflict of interest between the Qi family and the Que family right now?"

Since Que Yu's purpose this time was to install people, why did he have to destroy the Qi family.Although Qi Yun and Que Mu were equally famous before, the two did argue endlessly, which was very embarrassing.But now that Qi Yun is dead, the Que family dominates the generals, so there is no need to target them.Why did Que Yu still do this?Could it be because of the Qi family's secret?
Que Yu glanced at Qi Ze and said with a smile: "It's okay to tell you, my purpose this time is just to install people, and destroying the Qi family is just incidental. Whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter to me. Not much impact."

Qi Ze stared at Que Yu, not knowing what to say.One of his incidents made the Qi family uneasy these days, and people panicked. Asking the original perpetrator got only an understatement of incidents.But what he said is also true, the current Qi family is no longer the opponent of the Que family, and it really doesn't matter much to the Que family whether it is destroyed or not.

"How much do you know about the Qi family?"

Qi Ze's way of asking is also based on luck. She asked this way, but she didn't really answer, and who knows how much the other party knows.Besides, she is from the Qi family, things that she doesn't even know, does Que Yu know?At the same time, it also revealed her background, she really didn't know much about the Qi family.

When Qi Ze thought that Que Yu would not answer, he heard Que Yu's sneer.

"I really don't know much about the Qi family, but I definitely know more than you. Although you are from the Qi family, you yourself have never really understood the Qi family behind you."

After speaking, Que Yu stood up, turned around and was about to leave.After walking a few steps, he turned his head and looked at Qi Ze, "Qi Ze, one day you will regret that you protected the Qi family this time." Afterwards, he said meaningfully: "This Qi family's secret is not few."

After finishing speaking, she left, leaving behind Qi Ze who was a little dazed.

What's the meaning?She will regret, what the Qi family did will make her regret.But it is true that the Qi family has a secret, and it happened a long time ago.Regardless of the fact that this might be Que Yu's divorce scheme, she really needs to investigate the Qi family's affairs clearly.

When Que Yu returned to Chenyue Tower, Meng Yanxi was a little surprised.It's a bit quick to come back, and there's no smell of blood on her body, so didn't Yelan kill Qi Ze?
Seeing Que Yu drinking tea quietly at the table, Meng Yanxi couldn't help asking: "Yelan, what are you planning to do with the Qi family this time? Also, should Qi Ze send someone over?"

Que Yu put the teacup in his hand on the table and turned his head to look at the scenery of Shenyue Lake outside. The clouds were rolling and relaxing in the blue sky, and there were a few small boats shaking faintly on the lake. There were green willow trees all around, reflected in the clear water. The lake, the tree shadows and the ripples are inseparable.

As if the beautiful scenery was intoxicating, Que Yu looked at the scenery outside and kept silent. After a long while, he said, "The Qi family will ignore it this time, maybe it's just our carelessness."

Meng Yanxi looked up at Que Yu, don't you care?Is this planning to let the Qi family go?
Then I saw Que Yu's mouth curled up, and he sneered and said, "Even if we don't take action, the Qi family will not be in a good place. With Brother Murong around, how can the Qi family be alone. Besides, we have to investigate the secrets of the Qi family. What a pity to lose it. It is more interesting to play with it slowly and let them disappear in this battle for the succession."

Alas, he already knew that this was Ye Lan's style.The Qi family no longer needed them to take action. A dispensable thing is a delicacy in the eyes of others, and it will inevitably make people feel like playing around.

Just like the cat that catches a mouse, it usually teases it until the mouse is dizzy and has no hope of escaping before eating it.It's not that the cat doesn't let the mouse go, but that the mouse itself is in a state of panic and doesn't dare to move forward, even if it knows there is a possibility of escape, it will voluntarily give up.

This Qi family is the mouse, but they are not the cat, it is the regime change in Southern Chu, which is caused by intrigue.They can only be the bystanders, silently watching the mouse change from struggling to desperate but indifferent.

"Besides, the Qi family managed to find someone smarter this time. I want to see how long this Qi Yun's son can protect the Qi family." The young man's eyes were full of sharpness and fun, but the same indifference and ruthlessness remained in his eyes. .

Meng Yanxi looked at Que Yu like this, and shook his head, this Qi Ze is even more pitiful than he imagined, I don't know if he did something evil in his previous life to offend this King of Hell, let's mourn for him!
But this Qi Ze is really capable, he can rescue the Qi family under Que Yu's plan, and even let Que Yu let him go temporarily.Although the life of the Qi family will not be easy in the future, correspondingly, it will definitely last longer if the crown prince and King Jin do it than Que Yu does.It can be regarded as the rest of the life after the catastrophe, although the rest of the life is not so wonderful.

Qi Ze, who had returned to Fusheng Pavilion, naturally couldn't hear Meng Yanxi's silent tribute to her, and now she only felt a tingling pain on her shoulder, which was so hot.

He unbuttoned his outer garment, revealing his smooth and fair shoulders. Now there was a patch of bruises on his shoulders, which set off his fair skin even more shockingly.

This Que Yu shot was really ruthless, if it wasn't for her martial arts, it wouldn't have been particularly serious, it was just swollen.If someone has no martial arts, the strength may crush the opponent's shoulder bones.He was so ruthless as soon as he shot, he really deserved to be a member of the Que family, with his demeanor.

Qi Ze picked up the ointment on the table and carefully applied it to the swollen area, and the wound felt a little cool so that it didn't hurt so badly.Fortunately, the man's clothes were already loose, so he couldn't tell if they were a little swollen.In the future, try not to confront him, as it is better to confront Murong Sheng and Murong Xiu than to confront him.

After the ointment dried a little, Qi Ze put on his clothes.Although there are Zhu Yu and others guarding the Fusheng Pavilion to prevent others from entering.But the fact that she is a woman should be concealed. No one knows her identity as a woman except herself, even if Zhu Yu followed her a long time ago.

Thinking about the current situation, Que Yu probably won't attack the Qi family anymore, and she can relax a bit.Qi Chen also joined the Ministry of Officials because of this official vacancy, and now he is the head of the Ministry of Officials of the sixth rank, and is in the same department as Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng also took good care of Qi Chen in the official department, and he was not afraid that Qi Chen would surpass him in the future.Because Qi Chen was originally trained as the future heir of the Qi family, if he is very outstanding in the future, it's okay to surpass Qi Cheng in official position, and Qi Yuan will feel gratified because of this.

Qi Ze felt that although Qi Cheng was a bit of a jerk in matters of the backyard, he was quite open about matters of the previous court, and he never had half-hearted thoughts on the eldest family of the Qi family.

Originally Qi Wen wanted Qi Chen to go to the Ministry of Rites, but because of this incident, Qi Wen's prestige in the Ministry of Rites is not as good as before.Furthermore, it was Qi Chen himself who proposed to go to the Ministry of Officials. Compared with the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials has greater real power in the imperial court, and it is in charge of the transfer of civil servants in the court. It is no wonder that Qi Chen proposed to go to the Ministry of Officials.

After the turmoil of the past few days, Qi Yuan wrote a letter and sent people to join other families to write a letter, and finally won the consent of other families.Because of this, Qi Yuan felt exhausted and looked a little older than before. Fortunately, this matter was resolved perfectly.

After several months of recuperation, Qi Yuan has recovered his previous demeanor, and his face is radiant.It makes people feel that the previous catastrophe of the Qi family was just a dream, and the Qi family did not show signs of decline because of this incident.It's just that when eating in Que Xi Tang, everyone in the Qi family was not as naturally happy as before, they were speechless for a while, and the surroundings seemed very deserted.

Qi Zhe still reads every day as before, completes his homework, and prepares for the next palace exam.Sometimes at night, she would play with Cuiyu, and Cang Zhu looked at Qi Zhe with an expression of "I knew it", squatting in the grass and watching silently.

Seeing that her son was hungry, Mrs. Zhao would bring Qi Zhe supper every day, and would say a few words when seeing Qi Zhe having fun.Qi Zhe responded impatiently. Seeing this, Zhao knew that Qi Zhe would not listen, so she could only leave with a sigh.
