After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight
Chapter 649 Confess the truth
Chapter 649 Confess the truth
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
The night that Magistrate Cao spent with the beauty from Loulan in his room was worth a thousand gold coins.
Suddenly, a guard with great martial arts skills hurriedly stepped up the stairs, walked to the door and reported anxiously: "Sir! Something happened!"
Prefect Cao was in high spirits when he was suddenly interrupted. He frowned in displeasure and said, "Get lost! Come back to me tomorrow if you have any serious problems!"
"Sir, come on~"
The beauty of Loulan flirted with Governor Cao and made him completely bewildered.
Prefect Cao immediately pounced on the beauty again.
"My lord, Prince Loulan... was killed!"
Prefect Cao's body stiffened violently.
The Loulan beauty under him pushed him away, lifted the curtain and walked down, not caring about her disheveled clothes. She walked to the door in two steps, opened the door and asked, "What did you say? Who was killed?"
The guard said, "Prince Loulan."
The Loulan beauty held on to a last glimmer of hope: "Which Loulan prince?"
The guard said with a stiff upper lip: "Prince Amushan."
"Bastard!"
The Loulan beauty slapped the guard to the ground and then ran out of the door.
"Beauty! Beauty!"
Prefect Cao ran out with his belt in hand, but the beauty was nowhere to be seen.
He gnashed his teeth and asked, "What happened? Who is so bold as to kill my nephew?"
The guard said, "I didn't know. I followed your orders and secretly protected Prince Amushan. Prince Amushan's horse was running too fast and left me far behind. When I caught up with him, Prince Amushan had already been killed."
Prefect Cao staggered back a few steps, his face pale: "Where is the body?"
The guard said: "They were taken away by the Loulan people."
Prefect Cao paced back and forth in the room: "I've heard that the Loulan people eat raw meat and drink blood, and now the Loulan prince died on my territory. This is bad... Wait... He just said that he was going to kill the court official living in the Meng family. Could it be... that he was silenced by the other party? If so, then it's none of my business!"
He paused, "You heard it too. I did try to stop him! I told him not to be impulsive and to take a long-term view. But he just didn't listen and insisted on doing it his own way..."
"This official, this official, this official wants to report to the court! He said that he killed the Prince of Loulan!"
"Oh? How is Lord Cao going to report this to the court?"
A nonchalant voice came from outside the door slowly.
It was like a breeze blowing in the night, but it brought with it a chilling sense of danger and murderous intent.
Prefect Cao was shocked.
The guard quickly drew his sword and turned around, standing in front of him warily: "Who is it?"
Shangguan Ling kicked the guard away.
Lu Yuan put his hands behind his back, walked in leisurely under the cool moonlight.
He has an upright posture and a slender figure. Although he has a stunning face, he has a pair of dangerous eyes like the devil.
This was not the first time that Magistrate Cao had seen Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan at this moment was completely different from the one he was during the day.
He looked like he had walked out of purgatory, with endless blood emanating from his body.
Magistrate Cao didn't know if he was dazzled, but he felt that there was a layer of blood mist lingering around this person.
He suddenly remembered what Amu Shan had said to him at night: A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
He agreed with it deeply at that time.
But now I feel inexplicably guilty.
"Big... big... sir!"
He bowed and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Shangguan Ling moved a chair for Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan sat down and just hummed in confusion.
Prefect Cao was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
Shangguan Ling held the hilt of the Xiuchun Sword with one hand and stood majestically beside Lu Yuan.
The guard who was kicked away by him had already fainted.
Prefect Cao's eyes darted around.
Lu Yuan said calmly: "Don't look at it, your people have been dealt with."
Prefect Cao's heart skipped a beat.
This man defeated all the masters of the Cao family with only one guard?
And it was done silently...
What a perverted master this person must be...
"May I ask your Excellency...was Amu Shan...killed by you?"
Lu Yuan asked, "Are you questioning me?"
"I don't dare!"
Prefect Cao knocked his head to the ground and said, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate advised Amu Shan not to be disrespectful to you, but he didn't listen. He... He is the prince of Loulan. Your subordinate tried his best to stop him and even sent someone to inform you..."
Shangguan Ling sneered: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Prefect Cao was furious: "Sir, spare my life!"
Lu Yuan said: "Tell us what you know."
Prefect Cao asked with lingering fear: "Sir...what do you mean?"
Shangguan Ling said coldly: "If you continue to play tricks, I won't be able to hold down my embroidered spring sword!"
Embroidered Spring Blade...This is the Imperial Guard!
Prefect Cao was so frightened that he trembled and dared not hesitate any longer, and told Amu Shan everything about his relationship with him.
It turned out that it was Amushan who took the initiative to approach Prefect Cao, and the way to impress Prefect Cao was very simple - it was the beauty from Loulan.
"I was bewitched for a moment... It must be... It must be that bitch who used some low-class tricks on me, which caused me to lose control of my emotions... Please understand, sir!"
"Bullshit."
Shangguan Ling glared at him.
Lu Yuan said lazily: "This little bit of information can't buy your life."
Keng!
Shangguan Ling moved his thumb and pushed out the three-inch embroidered spring knife.
Prefect Cao said hurriedly: "Also...Also the King of Loulan is ill...He is very ill...It is said...He is dying...Several princes are secretly competing for the throne, and Amushan...Amushan came to Youzhou to make achievements! However, I don't know what kind of achievements he wants to make..."
"Every word I said is true! Please understand my lord!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Shangguan Ling whispered, "Grand Commander, the King of Loulan is the leader of the ten great princes. He is seriously ill. Loulan is in turmoil, and the ten great princes must have also been experiencing turmoil. No wonder he didn't attend the wedding banquet between the Liang royal family and Qianji Pavilion."
Lu Yuan hummed.
This makes sense.
As for Amushan’s purpose of going to Youzhou, I think it was Chenlong.
Chen Long is the eldest son of the King of Loulan. As long as he lives, he will always be a serious concern for several princes.
Or maybe the King of Loulan also wanted to kill this son.
"Who is the military advisor behind Amu Shan?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Prefect Cao asked hesitantly, "Sir...what do you mean?"
Shangguan Ling snorted coldly: "With Amu Shan, that blockhead, no military advisor could come up with such a complicated plan. Even though it's still a pile of shit, it's still a good idea after all!"
Prefect Cao: “…”
Shangguan Ling pulled out the Xiuchun Sword about an inch more.
Prefect Cao was so scared that he peed his pants: "I remember now! I remember now! There is indeed a powerful teacher beside Amu Shan... Amu Shan often asks for his opinion when doing things. He is not here tonight, otherwise... he would definitely persuade Amu Shan to stay!"
Shangguan Ling asked: "What are the characteristics?"
Prefect Cao racked his brains: "Features...features...he...he has six fingers!"
A pair of brand new boots stepped into the Cao family’s door.
Lu Yuan's ears moved: "Yu Zichuan."
Yu Zichuan, who was on the roof, carried Houyi's bow on his back and ran towards the gate like lightning.
-
Meng family.
Meng Qianqian finally met Mr. Meng.
Meng Tianhe, Meng Tianlan, Ji, and Yan were also there. Lu Yuan grabbed the hydrangea, and everyone should be happy, but Lu Yuan was not there.
The atmosphere in the room was also a little weird.
Meng Tianhe sighed and broke the deadlock: "Qianqian, I'm sorry for making you suffer this time. The old man doesn't really want to break you up. He is worried that the Grand Commander is another Lu Lingxiao, so he wants to test him this way."
Before Meng Qianqian could speak, Meng Tianlan spoke up first: "Is it really that probing? What kind of person is A Yuan and how he treats Qianqian? I've told you many times that Qianqian married the right person, the right person, but you just don't believe it!"
"I believe it!"
Yan said.
Meng Tianlan: "Wife, I didn't say you."
Yan whispered, "Second sister-in-law also believed it. She persuaded father."
"Good good."
Meng Tianlan couldn't do anything about his wife.
He also knew that this was the old man's idea. No matter how dissatisfied they were with this marriage, without the old man's approval, there would be no ridiculous marriage proposal.
What's all this about?
Meng Tianlan was really angry.
Even if the old man beat him up, he would still let it out.
"Dad, you're doing this wrong!"
He said seriously.
Mr. Meng didn't say anything.
Meng Qianqian said: "Second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, I want to talk to grandfather alone."
Yan looked at her worriedly: "Qianqian..."
Meng Tianlan pulled his wife over: "We'll go out and wait for you."
Yan asked in surprise, "Are you really not going to care?"
Meng Tianlan said: "Qianqian knows what's going on."
He went to the capital, and his biggest feeling was that the third girl was no longer the little crybaby she used to be, and she could stand on her own.
She had changed so much that he could hardly recognize her.
But obviously, the face is still the same face.
Meng Tianhe and Ji also left the house.
Old Master Meng spoke quietly: "You blame me, don't you? You blame me for insisting on marrying you to the Lu family, and you blame me for forcing you to find a husband now?"
Meng Qianqian shook her head: "I don't blame my grandfather."
Mr. Meng was startled and looked at her in disbelief.
Meng Qianqian continued: "Because I am not qualified."
Mr. Meng was puzzled: "What kind of angry words are these?"
Meng Qianqian's calm eyes were like an ancient well that had not changed for thousands of years: "I don't know if she blames me for what happened seven years ago, and I am not qualified to forgive her on her behalf. As for the marriage proposal, if I don't agree, no one can force me."
"I have my own plans, so if you're worried about the marriage proposal, there's no need to worry. You don't owe me anything, and you didn't force me. If you really feel guilty, go burn some paper money and tell her yourself."
Mr. Meng stood up from his chair and stared at Meng Qianqian in a daze: "You..."
Meng Qianqian said: "May 21, You hour, happens to be tomorrow."
After saying that, she turned around, resolutely opened the door, and disappeared into the endless night.
Mr. Meng felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
In a trance, something in his heart collapsed, and he collapsed to the ground, trembling and shedding tears!
……
Yan saw Meng Qianqian leaving the yard from afar and was about to call her, but was stopped by Meng Tianlan.
Meng Tianlan said: "Let her stay alone for a while."
Yan nodded with concern.
Meng Qianqian was not sad.
Life is not always perfect.
In the Meng family, she met people who cherished her and understood her, which was enough.
She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and murmured to herself, "Will your spirit in heaven blame me for being so heartless?"
A night breeze blew by, bringing with it the faint scent of lily of the valley.
"Come out."
Meng Qianqian said.
Meng Lang appeared, nibbling on a crisp, sweet and juicy peach, and walked leisurely to Meng Qianqian's side.
He handed Meng Qianqian a peach: "Do you want to eat it? Wash it."
Meng Qianqian didn't go to answer it.
Meng Lang asked: "What did you say to the old man? What irritated him like that?"
Meng Qianqian didn't answer him, but said: "Your move is not very smart."
Meng Lang smiled and said, "But at least I lured the snake out of its hole."
Meng Qianqian didn't deny it.
Meng Lang said: "I thought you would refuse, but I didn't expect you to join in. My lazy brother-in-law actually agreed. You two are really more daring than each other."
Meng Qianqian said: "Compared to him, you are the lazy one."
Meng Lang finished a peach and quickly started to eat the one that Meng Qianqian didn't want to eat: "I've talked so much, is this your main point?"
Meng Qianqian didn't say anything.
Meng Lang was not embarrassed and continued, "Did you know from the beginning that I would do something bad?"
Meng Qianqian said: "Yes."
Meng Lang asked again: "So you are using my trick against me?"
Meng Qianqian said: "That's right."
Meng Lang shook his head and said, "You really are..."
Meng Qianqian asked: "What is it really?"
Meng Lang was suddenly at a loss for words. He thought for a while and said with a smile, "Smart."
Meng Qianqian looked at him calmly: "Just smart? I know much more than you think."
Meng Lang smiled meaningfully: "Oh?"
Meng Qianqian's eyes were sharp: "For example, maybe I should call you..."
She moved her fingertips and suddenly shot a Thirteen Ghost Needles at Meng Lang!
Meng Lang's hair stood on end!
The silver needle pierced through his peach and shot into the small garden behind him.
There was only a muffled groan, and someone fell to the ground.
Meng Lang turned around, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Another snake came out of the hole?"
"Was there a fight?"
Tan'er rushed out of the house, ran quickly on the roof, jumping up and down, sometimes like a jade rabbit, sometimes turning into a flying bird.
"Here I come——"
She was on the roof facing Meng Qianqian when she suddenly braked, and the soles of her shoes scraped against the tiles, creating a series of sparks.
"Finally, we can fight! Ugh, I'm almost dying of suffocation!"
She twisted her waist, raised her knees and jumped high, her eyes glowed green, and punched Meng Lang: "Get out of the way, eh?"
"Why did you hit me——"
Tan'er hit Meng Lang with a heavy punch, and he turned into a sandbag and flew out.
Tan'er landed steadily and stood in his original position, with a bit of indifference and seriousness on his little face.
She turned around and glanced at Meng Lang who was beaten up to the treetop by her: "I beat you up for bullying my sister. No one can bully her, not even me."
This girl is really heavy-handed...
Meng Lang hung on a branch like a shrimp, holding his aching stomach: "I didn't bully her——"
Tan Er pointed at his nose and said, "Ni is plotting against her! He is bullying her! After I have dealt with them, I will deal with Ni first!"
Meng Qianqian took two steps forward.
Tan Er stretched out her hand domineeringly to stop Meng Qianqian, and looked at the group of assassins with sharp eyes and said:
"Sister, this time, it's E's turn to protect Ni."
