Chapter 7 The past without a future
The next day, Qin Jue indeed configured the antidote and distributed it.
Everyone was grateful. After taking the medicine, a group of people with different minds continued to go south. In this way, a few days later.
I have to say that Qin Jue is a very calm person.
After hearing the plan of the guards, Xie Linlang turned his head and told him, but after hearing this, he neither prepared anything nor asked her to help, as if he could naturally solve those people when the time came.
But Xie Linlang couldn't think of it. Once the two groups joined forces, Qin Jue could get away with it... Could it be that he was so calm that he had no idea, right?
If so, would she give him a step?
Thinking of this, Xie Linlang coughed twice.
"Actually, I thought about it and there was no need to make a bet between us, because if you win, your enemies will only be more careful about you. If you lose, our situation will be very dangerous.
Since winning or losing is not good for us, this bet will be invalid!
I asked Xiao Xi to take us away, and then lead the troops over and take them out in one fell swoop. How about it?"
She thought Qin Jue would go down the pole, but he turned the book in his hand and said calmly.
"The bet continues."
This made Xie Linlang a little puzzled. Her method was obviously simple and direct, but why did Qin Jue insist on sticking to this bet?
She asked in a deep voice, "Can I know why? My method is obviously more effective, why do you have to do it yourself and alert the enemy?"
She paused, her voice lowered, "If your enemy saw you as powerful as you, it would be even more impossible for them to let you go back to Beijing. Wouldn't your road to revenge be even more difficult?"
Qin Jue looked at her in surprise when he heard this, "Who said I want to go back to Beijing?"
Xie Linlang said for granted, "Your enemies are all in the capital, and they are all the people at the top of the pyramid. If you are in a hurry to take revenge, the fastest way is not to return to Beijing as soon as possible, restore your position, and finally become emperor?"
Qin Jue smiled slightly when he heard this and put down the book.
"So Linlang means that I want me to suppress my hatred, regain the emperor's favor, and then endure it step by step until I ascend to the throne and settle the accounts after the autumn?"
Xie Linlang nodded. Although Qin Jue was deposed, it is common to re-establish the prince throughout history, and this is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut.
Seeing this, Qin Jue showed sarcastic expression.
"Why do you think I am so persistent in the throne? Can't you take other ways to take revenge?"
Xie Linlang frowned, "...Isn't this what you said yourself?"
Qin Jue was stunned and heard Xie Linlang continue to say.
"From childhood to adulthood, you are strict with yourself, diligent and studious. Apart from not wanting to disappoint the Queen, don't you just hope that you can become a useful person to the country?
The person you admire most is the founding emperor Qin Ye, and the book you love to study is "Politics of Governance".
The only time I was drunk, you told me that if you had the chance, you would most like to be a prosperous wise ruler like Qin Ye, who can safeguard the country by martial arts and culture! For this reason, you have been working hard and never dared to slack off at all times..."
"Enough!"
Qin Jue suddenly interrupted her, and he pressed his hand on the book, tightly pulling the thin book "On the People's Livelihood" into a ball!
"Enough..."
He said that his previous wish was indeed to become a person who was more capable than the founding emperor and create a truly peaceful and prosperous era, but that was the past!
Now! He no longer dreams...
Seeing his reaction, Xie Linlang paused and whispered, "So, are you rejecting the past?"
Qin Jue was filled with depression, and he asked with a sneer.
"I don't even have a future, so where does the past come from?"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the carriage instantly dropped to freezing point. At this time, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from outside. At the same time, the guards shouted loudly!
"Not good! There are assassins!"
Here comes!
Xie Linlang and Qin Jue thought of these two words at the same time.
The next second, the shouts of killing are shocking!
When Xie Linlang heard the movement, he quickly reached out and lifted the curtain to see what was happening outside. He saw a group of people with faces riding on horseback in the chaos!
They brought up waves of dust and were murderous. It was estimated that the two groups would meet soon!
In the chaos, Zhang Yong, who was temporarily in charge of the guards, stepped forward and said.
"Sir Xie! The enemy is coming in a fierce manner and there are many people. In order to avoid accidental injury, you will take Your Highness away first, and we will block them!"
Xie Linlang looked at him deeply when he heard this, "What should you do?"
After hearing her question, Zhang Yong said loudly, "As our guards, our mission is to protect Your Highness, and we will do whatever we want to die for Your Highness. So you don't have to worry about us. Just take Your Highness first. Everything must be the most important thing!"
Seeing him like this, Xie Linlang sighed and finally said, "Then you take care of yourself."
After saying that, she asked Xiaoxi to leave first and leave the guards to cut off the rear.
Xiaoxi responded, adjusted his horse and left. At this time, the enemy had already reached the sight. At the moment of close combat, the guards really fought to the death to open the way, so that Xie Linlang's carriage could find the gap and run out.
After the carriage broke through, it ran towards the small road, but no one noticed that the back door of Xie Linlang's carriage was opened...
Qin Jue looked at the chaotic battlefield and calmly took down the bow and arrow from the wall of the car, and then shot the people who were fighting!
The arrow was caught in a masked man. Because Qin Jue's right hand was injured and he had no strength, the arrow was not penetrated deep. The person who was caught pulled out the arrow directly, looking at Qin Jue's direction with his eyes blazing fire - but he didn't expect that Qin Jue was also looking at him...
In the flying dust, Qin Jue held the bow in his left hand, and kept shooting archery, but his hand had not yet been put down.
But his eyes were strange, as if he was laughing, and as if he was pity. When the masked man wanted to see clearly, the carriage had already run away.
While driving the car, Xiaoxi said to Xie Linlang, "Young Master, I didn't expect them to really dare to take action! What should we do next? Which direction should we go so that we won't be blocked by them?"
Xie Linlang grabbed the shaft of the car and said in a deep voice, "Go back."
“Where to go back?”
"Back to the road before!"
"But..." Xiaoxi was very puzzled, "But the guards colluded with the assassin and were blocking it. Let's go back, aren't we going to fall into the trap?"
Xie Linlang shook his head, "It's not that you want to go back directly, let's go to the side and go to the hillside next to the main road. I want to see their current situation."
After hearing this, Xiao Xi turned around, but still didn't understand, "Young Master is afraid that we will misunderstand the guards?"
Xie Linlang shook his head and looked back at the carriage, "...I just want to see how he wants to beat me."
She was really curious about how Qin Jue planned to solve this problem, and he insisted on betting with her, what was the purpose of?
Chapter completed!
