Chapter 148
Ren Jinglei was right. Qin Nuo was indeed in pain at this time, but more, it was a kind of anger.
Within the court.
Qin Nuo wandered back and forth in the Beginning-of-Creation Palace alone, blocking everyone's entry.
Including Huo Youjuan, only looking nervously at the inner hall from outside the hall, feeling heavy.
Everyone understood that the emperor needed a space to calm down.
It was not as they had imagined that the emperor looked angry or confused in the hall. Qin Nuo's expression was so calm, he just walked around in a daze.
The so-called anger eventually turned into one sentence: "This liar..."
After just half an hour, Qin Nuo walked out of the hall.
The time is shorter than everyone imagined. Xu Mincai quietly let out a sigh of relief, but when they were half relieved, they heard the emperor speak.
"Are the drinks ready? I will deliver it myself."
"The emperor!" Xu Mincai's face changed drastically, "The emperor's dragon body is tied to the world Antai, so you must not take risks easily."
Qin Nuo shook his head: "If he wants to kill me, how many chances does he have in this palace? He hasn't done anything before, how can he do it now."
"That's different." Xu Mincai insisted. Fang Yuan lurked next to the emperor before, and did not do anything. Perhaps it was to obtain more information and hide more safely. Now his identity has been revealed...
"Grandpa Xu, please ask the emperor to take a trip." Huo Youjuan opened his mouth, his voice calm and self-sufficient.
Unexpectedly, as the person most concerned about the safety of the emperor, he even agreed with this risky move.
Huo Youjuan whispered: "Don't let the emperor pass, he will only be unable to let this matter go for a lifetime."
Xu Mincai looked hesitant and entangled. In fact, Fang Yuan had already drunk the poison of scattered the art the first time he was taken back to the palace. The reason is that his body is controlled and there is no threat, but he always feels that it is still very dangerous.
"Go away." Qin Nuo lowered his face.
The young emperor rarely showed his majestic side, and in the end, he could only step back obediently.
Qin Nuo walked quickly across the corridor. Arrived at the door of Fang Yuan's room.
After taking the person back to the palace, Qin Nuo didn't put the person in those places of the Shen Xing Department, but put the person in the room where he originally lived.
The guard guard bowed and saluted, then unlocked the door.
Qin Nuo entered the room.
Although the two were close, it was the first time for him to enter Fang Yuan's room. Looking across, the room was surprisingly simple and surprisingly clean.
The tables, chairs and benches are spotlessly clean, except for these essential daily necessities, there is almost no extraneous decorations. From such a room, the owner's preferences and fun are almost invisible.
It was his negligence. He never thought that Fang Yuan's life would be so depressing in a corner he couldn't see.
And Fang Yuan himself was sitting at the table, his expression as calm as usual.
Seeing Qin Nuo coming in, he got up and bowed to salute. At that moment, Qin Nuo had an illusion that all the previous changes were just nightmares during his nap.
As always between himself and Fang Yuan.
Soon, this conjecture was broken, and there was a crisp sound of chains. Fang Yuan's hands and feet were all tied with fine iron. Although martial arts had been restrained, the palace still did not relax at all.
"The emperor shouldn't have come here." Fang Yuan said.
"I'm just not reconciled." Qin Nuo stared at him.
Fang Yuan smiled: "Is there anything else the emperor wants to ask?"
"I know everything I should know." Qin Nuo lowered his gaze, "I just don't understand. In your opinion, does Nanchen have any chance of winning?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said: "I hope the emperor will remember his previous promise and treat the people of Nanchen kindly."
"It turns out that you are not optimistic about the future, why do you have to choose this dead end?" Qin Nuo asked through gritted teeth.
"There are some roads, even if you know that you will be crushed by walking down, you have to choose." Fang Yuan lowered his eyes.
Qin Nuo glared at him suddenly: "You deceived me before, you said that there is nothing to worry about in Nanchen."
"So, does the emperor want to come over and ask the crime?" Fang Yuan even showed a smile on his mouth.
"Then, the minister is already convicted of the crime, please give the emperor the crime."
His eyes fell on the table, and Lee Maru followed Qin Nuo, and he had already put a pot of wine on the table.
Following his gaze, Qin Nuo turned his head away: "Do you really want to get there?"
"Does the emperor think that there is still room for relaxation?" Fang Yuan asked rhetorically.
"If there is such a deep hatred, why haven't you done anything against me before?" Qin Nuo asked.
"A gentleman has something to do and what he does not. The emperor has a good grace for me, and the minister does not want to live up to this kindness." After a pause, Fang Yuan continued, "As for General Pei, his martial arts is too high and he is still Above the minister, the minister has thought about doing it several times, but couldn't find the flaw."
"He should have noticed it. He told the emperor the true identity of the minister, right?" Fang Yuan said flatly.
Perfect rhetoric, no flaws. Qin Nuo stared at him, trying to find a point on this familiar face and shake it.
After a moment of silence, Qin Nuo suddenly asked, "Except for me, have you taught anyone else martial arts before?" This is the second time the emperor asked him this question. Between daily martial arts teaching, he also asked these past events with a smile.
Fang Yuan answered the same question.
He closed his eyes: "The minister has no memory of the past."
After waiting for a while, seeing that the emperor still had no idea of doing anything, he urged: "It's over, the emperor, everything is over."
Qin Nuo bit his lip and finally nodded and said, "Okay, as you wish, it's over, I will give you a ride."
He walked to the table and poured a glass of wine by himself, and the sweet aroma came out, the taste of viburnum stuffed that Qin Nuo liked.
Fang Yuan's hand was imprisoned, Qin Nuo held the wine glass and brought it to his lips.
With the hands of the young emperor, Fang Yuan drank the poisoned alcohol.
Throwing the cup on the ground, Qin Nuo whispered: "You and I are the fate of master and apprentice, and I will remember it in my life."
After a pause, he asked: "At this point, is there nothing to tell me?"
Fang Yuan closed his eyes and stopped answering.
Qin Nuo didn't linger, turned and left. He knew that Fang Yuan was a proud man in his bones, and he didn't want to let people see the embarrassed posture. More importantly, he still had plans to plan for the future.
Walking to the door, Qin Nuo heard the man's low voice again.
"The minister wished the emperor everything goes well, and the wind will rise and the world will be leveled..."
**********
Back to the Beginning-of-Creation Palace, Xu Mincai cautiously informed, "See you right."
Qin Nuo was silent for a moment before summoning Pei Ling to enter.
Pei Ling, who was waiting outside, was not in a hurry, asking casually about the emperor's diet and daily life these days, Lee Maru answered carefully.
After entering the hall, Pei Ling carefully looked at Qin Nuo's expression, tired but still calm. He felt at ease.
Noting that Pei Ling was observing herself, Qin Nuo smiled casually, "I'm fine, Minister Pei don't have to worry, I can bear these setbacks."
"The emperor is open-minded, so he can rest assured when he waits." Pei Ling smiled. The emperor was so calm, it was beyond his expectation.
Qin Nuo smiled bitterly, "It's not necessarily open-minded, it's just the pain in my heart, it's not easy to share with others."
Pei Ling said warmly: "The emperor, between people, we always pay attention to a word of predestiny.
Qin Nuo looked up and stared at him, "Is this the sentiment of Minister Pei decades ago? Listening to these words, I should think that some high monk came here to save sentient beings."
Pei Ling laughed dumbly, "It's just that I have lost a lot, sometimes with emotion. As long as your life is a little longer, you will find that there are always irreparable regrets and irreversible passing away. If human resources can't reach, they can only choose to look away. endure."
Qin Nuo stared at him, suddenly an impulse came up, and asked, "What if you don't want to let go? In Minister Pei's life, what will be there. Would you rather give up everything and keep it?"
Pei Ling was startled, and seemed to be stopped by Qin Nuo's question.
After a pause, he smiled and said: "The minister has always looked open. Perseverance is suffering, but the sea of suffering is boundless. Turning back is the shore."
Qin Nuo lowered his gaze, and his long eyelashes concealed the strange look in his eyes: "It was my question that made me abrupt."
He stood up, didn't want to entangle this topic any more, and asked directly: "Minister Pei is here to care about Nanchen's war."
"You came just right. This is an emergency secret report from Mi State on the front line. As for the next strategy, I am about to discuss with Minister Pei." The emperor said as he signaled Xu Mincai to pass a secret report of the battle to Pei. Ling.
Hearing that the emperor turned to talk about business, Pei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and took a closer look.
Inside is the next strategy plan for the Southern Army.
Although the Nanchen envoy went to Beijing for peace talks, the war between the two countries did not stop, and even more intense, to obtain a greater advantage, they can also have more bargaining chips and occupy a more active position in the following negotiations.
Raiders Kang City? This plan is good. Kang City is an important town and a transportation hub in the central part of the Southern Dynasties, echoing Jianye in the north. Once Kang City fell, Jianye became a lonely city. This was a shrewd strategy of attacking snakes and seven inches.
Pei Ling put down the secret report and said with a smile: "Du Kang is an old man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He was known for his calmness in the Southern Army before."
The implication is that very much agree with this strategy.
Qin Nuo smiled and said, "Since the general said the same, I am relieved, and I look forward to a good news this time, so that the court and the people can feel relieved."
Pei Ling smiled and said: "Maybe in seven days, there will be news that satisfies the emperor."
There is a certain degree of lag in the communication with the front line. The Kang City strategy was reported, and the offensive has actually been launched. Maybe during the conversation between the two, the border soldiers are fighting life and death.
"Maybe earlier than the general expected." A smile appeared on Qin Nuo's face, "I look forward to it very much..."
The two talked about two or three more about recent political affairs, and then Pei Ling got up and resigned.
Pei Ling left the court and rode on the road. The emperor's spirit and mood are good, even better than the best situation he imagined. While reassuring him, there was an inexplicable anxiety coming up.
