Chapter 1422: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
A rather quiet and spacious house.
There are Qin soldiers standing guard outside and guards patrolling inside... Although it cannot be said to be airtight and difficult for mosquitoes and flies to enter, it is also heavily guarded. It can be seen that the people living here must be either rich or noble, and their status in the Xianyang Palace is extraordinary.
In fact.
Wei Yang is one of the three dukes and nine ministers. Except when facing Qin Zheng, he is as soft as a quail. Most of the time, even the crown prince Qin Su has to give him some face...
Qin Zheng employs people in an unconventional way. Even if they are surrendered ministers, as long as they have real talents and knowledge, he dares to use them.
Absolute strength allows him to achieve absolute centralization.
And what he has done over the years is indeed very wise, he has worked hard to govern, and he has strict management of his officials, often punishing them severely. However, he cares about the people very much. Xianyang City has been expanded several times, and the density of people has increased instead of decreased compared to the original Chu King City. It can be seen that in terms of ability, he is indeed superior to the former Chu Emperor Chu Tian.
Inspired by his ability, even if those surrendered ministers may not be sincere in serving him at the beginning, they can be said to be sincere in submitting to him now... and dare not be disrespectful at all.
Qin Zheng also trusts people when he employs them, and dares to put the power in their hands without any doubt.
Unfortunately...
Who can imagine that in this heavily guarded Jiuqing Mansion, there is actually a wanted criminal who has been wanted for more than ten years.
Or this wanted criminal may just be used to cover up the truth.
"How do you feel today, Senior Brother?"
A woman in rather luxurious clothes walked into the room with a teacup and saw the middle-aged man sitting quietly at the table.
After not seeing him for several years, he was still as handsome as ever...
But seeing the empty sleeve on his right arm, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
They had studied together at the Fa School in the past.
The three of them were close friends, and because of this, when he arrived, she took him in without any hesitation.
As for her husband...
She didn't care at the time.
But her husband's behavior afterwards really made her feel relieved. He didn't tell His Majesty about this matter, but quietly concealed it.
"It's Zichan."
Han Wujiu slowly put away his left hand that was healing himself, and said with a smile: "It's not that easy to heal. I was injured by a Taoist weapon, and this Taoist weapon is extremely evil and entangled in my body. Even if I use the power of words to follow the power, I can't force it out in a short time. However, after two days of recuperation, the injury has recovered a lot and it no longer affects my movements. I also plan to leave."
"Brother, are you in a hurry to leave?"
Zichan said in surprise: "Your injury has not healed, and from your tone, it seems that the person who hurt you is still in Xianyang City. If you go out rashly..."
"It doesn't matter. The most strict two days have passed. I should also stay out of the limelight."
Thinking of the spiritual consciousness that he sensed wandering around the entire Xianyang City two days ago, he felt shocked just thinking about it.
Han Wujiu knew that Su Jing practiced both Taoism and martial arts, but he could never imagine that a person's spiritual consciousness could be so strong that he could wander between heaven and earth for several days without dispersing at all...
At that time, he was fighting with his wounded body and desperately protecting himself with the power of the legalist, and with the protection of his junior brothers and sisters, he was able to escape the powerful spiritual consciousness inspection.
It's a pity that I can't leave.
Otherwise, I really want to stay away from that kid...
Han Wujiu couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, sighing: "It's only three years, three years... Qin Zheng took three years to step from the innate to the Tao realm, I was deeply shocked, but now Nan'er is not inferior at all. When he escaped, I knew how powerful he was, but now I see... It's too scary."
"Where are you going, brother?"
"Don't worry, I have my own place to go."
Han Wujiu smiled and said, "And it's a very safe place."
I can only go to Qin Zheng's place.
Although I had predicted that I was next to Qin Zheng with Taixiao before, I still couldn't escape death by Nan'er... But now, I have to choose the lesser of two evils. It is undoubtedly safer to be next to Qin Zheng.
And once Nan'er has the idea of attacking me and puts it into action, I can immediately sense it with Taixiao, and then I can escape in advance. Although it is difficult to deal with, it is not impossible to deal with it.
On the contrary, that little girl is much more difficult to deal with.
Taixiao can't predict even a little of her actions...
However, Qin Zheng can allow Nan'er to fight in the Afang Palace, but he will never allow others to use weapons in the palace. I don't know who the little girl is, but if I want to tie her hands and feet, I have to go to the Afang Palace.
At the moment, she is a more difficult opponent than Nan'er.
Thinking of this, Han Wujiu said: "Don't worry, Zichan, since I am leaving, I am absolutely sure to protect my own safety."
The voice fell.
A cold voice rang out, "Want to leave? You can't go anywhere..."
"Who?"
Zi Chan instantly turned pale with a look of alertness.
Han Wu Gou's expression also changed drastically... He looked at Su Jing who came in from outside in shock.
He said in surprise: "Nan'er... is... it's you? How is this possible?"
"Are you shocked that Tai Xiao didn't react at all?"
Su Jing stood quietly in front of Han Wugou, with a slightly surprised smile on his face, and said: "To be honest, I was really surprised. I thought Wei Yang was lying to me, but I didn't expect... you turned out to be serious. Hidden in his house.”
"What? Is it... is Yangyang?"
Zichan's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Wei Yang who walked in from behind the door in shock, and said in horror: "Yang, you...you actually betrayed your senior brother? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for the senior brother's arrangement in the past, you and I would have been together?" It is impossible for the two of them to have the marriage they have today, how could you..."
"Sorry, Zichan, I have a hard time!"
Wei Yang lowered his head and did not dare to look at his wife. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I hope you understand, I have to do this."
"Junior brother, you..."
Han Wugou looked at Wei Yang in shock. After a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly realized: "Someone forced you to do this, right? It was Qin Zheng... he forced you... right?"
"Yes or no, does it matter?"
Wei Yang sighed: "Senior brother, it was a mistake for you to come to me from the very beginning..."
"Yes, it is a mistake, it is indeed a mistake!"
Han Wugou seemed to have come to his senses and couldn't help laughing. He laughed loudly and said, "Sure enough, Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng, everyone in the world knows that you have a deep mind. I have been with you for more than ten years, so I should know more about you." Now that your goal is about to be achieved, you can't wait to get rid of me as a stepping stone... It's a pity that I have Taixiao's body protection. If you attack rashly, you may not be able to kill me. That's why you use the borrowed knife to kill me... Qin Zheng, what a Qin Zheng... I knew that you wanted to monopolize me, and you never planned to fulfill your promise to me from the beginning!"
Su Jing suddenly realized, looked at Wei Yang in surprise, and said, "I thought you were jealous and wanted to betray him, but I didn't expect Qin Zheng to have a hand in it?"
Wei Yang just smiled bitterly.
As he said, it doesn't matter what the reason is, what's important is... he still betrayed his former best friend.
