Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Chapter 151 Chapter 151, keep you safe and sound

Pei Qi didn't have time to recover, so she straightened up and looked at Xing Luo and Zong Zheng Wuyan in the distance, then turned to look at Rong Qin, who was standing not far from her.

She is not a fool, of course she knows that she has been forced into the situation.

But she didn't expect that it would be Xingluo who could deceive her in the end.

I didn't even expect that Rong Qin would be here. I subconsciously thought that these two people had been in cahoots with each other for a long time.

"Are you and Zong Zheng Wuyan in the same group?" Pei Qi faced Rong Qin and asked coldly.

If not, why would he be here?

Rong Qin couldn't help but look at him as if he were a fool, and sneered: "I want to be on the same side with him. After all, there is an extra regent in Beiding for no reason, and I really want it."

"It's a pity that his accomplice is your good student who is far away in the imperial capital."

If he guessed correctly.

Pei Yunjiang returned to the court, and Jiang Mingcang's help was inevitable. Now Pei Yunjiang, a mere nobody, actually bothered him, the regent of Beiding, to come forward to protect him...

It is not difficult to guess the relationship between Zong Zheng Wuyan and Jiang Mingcang.

It's a pity that Pei Qi trusts Jiang Mingcang in every possible way. This kind of relationship is beyond her imagination.

Even if I thought about it, I would probably force myself not to believe it.

"The right minister has a keen mind, and seventy percent of his guesses are true. I admire him very much." Zongzheng smiled silently, and then changed the subject: "But the other three points, I think the right minister should not be able to guess. "

After saying that, before Rong Qin could say anything, Zong Zheng Wuyan and Xing Luo took the lead, descending the secret passage step by step.

"Don't you two want to go to the underground store? Come with me."

Rong Qin raised his eyebrows with interest and was about to follow, but was stopped by Pei Qi behind him.

"Hey...wait a minute!" Pei Qi arrived behind him at some point, pulling on his sleeves and hesitantly trying to dissuade him: "That underground store is his place, and if you follow him like this, you're like a sheep in a tiger's mouth. , aren’t you afraid that you will never come out again?”

What's more, the three hundred shadow guards are still missing, and even Xu Chi can't be found. How dare she put herself in danger?
And...Rong Qin is also alone.

She was really afraid something would happen.

Rong Qin paused in his steps, looked at her with contempt, and said with ridicule in his tone: "Are you afraid?"

"If he wanted to kill you, you would have died in the inn by now."

"Why?" Pei Qi was puzzled.

"Do you think you are as sharp as the Cui family's three hundred shadow guards? Why has there been no movement yet?"

Rong Qin gave an explanation calmly and didn't want to waste any more words.

He simply grabbed Pei Qi's wrist with his backhand, and before she had time to react, he dragged her down the secret passage.

"Don't worry, the truth is here to keep you safe."

At least, between Zong Zheng Wuyan and Pei Qi, he still disliked people with unclear intentions.

"Rong Qin, let go...I will leave on my own!"

……

In the dark secret passage, only the flickering oil lamps on both sides of the wall illuminated the way forward. Zong Zheng walked in front of him silently, followed by the petite Xing Luo, and behind him, Rong Qin and...

Pei Qi followed him cautiously.

Pei Qi was so nervous that he almost stopped every step. Xingluo slowed down at some point and reached Pei Qi's side before he knew it, and suddenly held her sweaty hand.

"Sister Pei, don't be afraid. That guy just wants to talk to you and won't hurt you."

Feeling the warmth coming from her hands, Pei Qi froze. When she lowered her head to look at Xing Luo, she still had that childish and harmless smile on her face.

It's just that he speaks much more fluently.

Although Pei Qi knew that he had been completely deceived by her in the past few days, no matter what, he couldn't complain as long as he looked at her little face.

Pei Qi sighed, knowing that the "boy" Xingluo was referring to was Zong Zheng Wuyan, but the age difference between the two could be seen at a glance, so she called her...

Is there something wrong?
Zongzheng was speechless and didn't need to look back. He just listened to the conversation between the two and guessed what Pei Qi was thinking.

The next second, he was leading the way and said quietly: "Her name is not Xingluo, but Ah Ling. Also, she is not a child."

"But...even she herself doesn't know how old this thing is."

In short, he is older than everyone here.

"Sister Pei is much taller than me. Calling her sister is not too much." Xingluo blinked, and the nonsensical reason made Pei Qi speechless.

But she was still confused by Zongzheng's speechless words.

"You said Xingluo is not a child? But she is only so old..."

Anyone who hears this will think it is a joke.

Zong Zheng Wuyan walked around a corner and took the opportunity to look in the direction of Xiang Xingluo. He saw her jumping up and down beside Pei Qi, as if he liked her very much.

"The Imperial Preceptor and Your Prime Minister are far away in Dasheng. They should have never heard of Beiding's telegraph."

Pei Qi couldn't see clearly Zongzheng's speechless expression, and could only see his deep voice echoing in the secret passage, revealing Xingluo's past bit by bit.

"Sheyuanhou has been ambitious since he entered the court, and he is especially good at the art of refining poison. Therefore, countless people died at his hands."

"That year, my father had just ascended the throne. Naturally, such a dangerous person could not be tolerated in my father's eyes. However, it was not easy to deal with him. It took my father five years to conquer the entire Sheyuan Marquis Mansion. Uprooted."

"As for A Ling, she was discovered during a house raid."

Zong Zheng Wuyan suddenly stopped and slowly turned his body, his bottomless eyes tightly locked on Xing Luo with an unknown emotion.

"It was also from that time that my father discovered that the Prime Minister had captured an unknown number of children over the years, and used these children as a medium to refine poison day and night, in order to become a person without any mind who could be controlled by him. Poisonous people.”

"But the final result of those children was nothing more than to die from the torture of countless poisons, and A-Ling was the only one who was made poisonous."

"She also stayed at the age of seven forever because of those poisons."

The horrifying story made Pei Qi's hand tighten inadvertently, and even Rong Qin couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xing Luo.

But she acted as if it wasn't her, tilting her head and humming a tune without any tune.

Pei Qi squatted down, one hand trembling, and slowly touched her little face.

She didn't believe that Xingluo wouldn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable hearing about her past. There must be so much helplessness and panic behind such a smile...

"Aling..."

Xingluo laughed out loud, held Pei Qi's hand behind his back, and gritted his teeth: "I like the name Sister Pei gave me very much."

"From now on, I'll call you Xingluo, not A-Ling."
