Vol 4 Chapter 820: Knee bend

Dou Kui's expression was terrified. Qi Ning knew his thoughts and said softly: "Tracing Yu Dang can't stop it, but I'm worried that there will be a lot of wrongs and wrongs." He had a good relationship with Huainan King, and at the time of the Emperor's Mausoleum, Lord Dou also spoke for King Huainan. Lord Dou think about it for yourself. Who can it be if Sima's family is not the first to pull you out? "
Dou Kui's face was even more ugly, and he said anxiously: "Hou Ye, Xiaguan ... The Xiaguan was just telling the truth at the time, there was no ..... it did not mean to defend the Huainan King."
"But others will not think so, and the Sima family will not think so." Qi Ning sighed: "Once the big case is launched, Master Dou is afraid that the first one will be tried."
Dou Kui only felt that his whole body was soft, unable to look at his face, got up and knelt down to the ground: "Hou Ye, Xiaguan .... Xiaguan knows that there are many places that are not right before, it is all Xiaguan confused, I hope ... I hope Lord Hou will not blame. "
Qi Ning said: "Sir Dou, don't you be like this. You are also a comrade, how can you be like this." Qian Qi lifted up, said: "I know what you are worried about, but there is a good saying, and the Qing clarifies, If your lord Dou is innocent, he will naturally be able to overcome the difficulties. "
Su Zhen said aside: "If Sima Lan opened the case, no matter who was innocent, but everyone who is not him, he must always find a way to clear it. Jinyi, you are one of the four hereditary herds, and also appreciated by the emperor. At this time, you can't just watch Sima's behavior. "
"Wuxiang Hou is also a hereditary candidate, and my qualifications are much higher. If I really want to stop the Sima family from being framed innocently, it is naturally Wu Xianghou who came forward to stop it." Qi Ning seemed to smile.
Su Zhen's face was a little embarrassed, but Qi Ning already sneered, and said lightly: "Wuxianghou, you come here tonight, we don't have to turn around and talk nonsense. You are a marquise, but you are not far away from Huainan King, If the Sima family really wants to track it down, it may not be able to involve you, so you should also come forward to prevent it for self-protection. "Stand up and stretch your waist, said:" These two days are too sleepy, two If there is nothing else, I will go to rest first. "High voice said:" Qi Feng, see you off! "
Su Zhen's expression was even more embarrassing. Dou Kui continued to wink. Su Zhen hesitated before finally saying: "Jin Yihou, I come here with Master Dou, there is indeed something serious to discuss." Awkward said: "You sit down and speak first."
Qi Ning said, "Oh", "What's the big deal?"
"You also know that although I am a marquis, I have no military power in my hand." Su Zhen embarrassed: "And there is no other real power in hand. In the final analysis, it's just a ..... just a happy Lord Hou. ... Although I really want to stop the Sima family, that's also ... that's too much for my strength. "
"I have more heart but not enough strength?" Qi Ning smiled faintly, and then sat down, said: "Wuxiang Hou said in the middle of the night, and this sentence is still true."
Su Zhen couldn't hold her face, but Dou Kui said: "Hou Ye, Shu Xiaguan bluntly said that the Sima family's ambitions in the emperor's mausoleum are already obvious. King Huainan has been removed by him ... Looking at Manchao Wu, only Jinyi Qi family and Jindao Dantai family can still compete with him. The gold sword has been waiting for years, and it is almost not about political affairs, and although you are a rising star, Houye, you won the emperor. Appreciation, bravery and tactics, hands and military power, how can the Sima family rest assured of your existence? "
"Sir Dou means that the Sima family will deal with me next to the Qiyi family?" Qi Ning smiled.
Dou Kui nodded and said: "Hou Ye presided over the justice in the tomb of the emperor. The heart of loyalty is naturally admirable, but in this way, it will inevitably incur the hatred of the Sima family, so ...!"
"Sir Dou, your means is not very clever." Qi Ning smiled disdainfully: "You said these, but you just want me to stand up and fight against the Sima family. You feel that if I want to fight against the Sima family, I must Engage the forces, such as your Dou Dou, who is in charge of the household department. If the Jinyi Qi family can help the household department, the strength will naturally increase, so you think I will definitely protect you because of it, right? "
Dou Kui couldn't think of Qi Ning's young age. He actually broke his mind and said a bit, but Ma Dao said: "Hou Ye, Xiaguan ... Xiaguan never had this idea ..."
"Whether you have it or not, the Zhen Guo Gong that Ben Hou saw did not seek to usurp the throne." Qi Ning said lightly: "You are here to speculate without permission, are you not slander the Gong Gong? People dare to rebel. The Qi family is considered to be crushed, and it will certainly protect the emperor. "
"Yes, yes ..." Cold sweat permeated from Dou Kui's forehead: "Xiaguan's speechlessness."
"Of course, if the Sima family really wants to take advantage of the problem and frame Zhongliang, Benhou will not sit back and ignore it." Qi Ning said: "If your Dou family really did not get involved in this rebellion, even if your Dou family used to be with me There are some holidays at home, and I wo n’t let others insult your innocence. "
Dou Kui was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed his gratitude, and gave a deep salute, saying: "Hou Ye is fair and honest, and he can't repay if he is dead." Xuan Kuan was next to Qi Ning, low Voice said: "Hou Ye, Xiaguan is still in charge of the Hubu. Although the finances are stretched, Xiaguan is here to assure Houye that as long as the Xiaguan is in the Hubu for a day, the reconstruction of the Black Scale Camp will be first. The equipment horses needed by Scale Camp are considered to be digging the ground three feet, and they also need to take out silver to make up. "
At this time, the domestic servants had already come to tea. After the domestic servants withdrew, Qi Ning picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "Master Dou is good at doing things impartially, and there is no need to do more for the Black Scale Camp." Back, the Black Scale Camp is really difficult right now, whether it is equipment or horses, it is very scarce. If Lord Dou can allocate money to supplement, Ben Hou will thank Master Dou here on behalf of Black Scale Camp. "
"Don't dare." Dou Kui is a veteran of the officialdom, obedient, and happy: "It is the emperor's will to rebuild the Black Scale Camp. If the Black Scale Camp is delayed, it is against the Holy Spirit. Treat this as a top priority. "
Qi Ning smiled slightly and suddenly thought of something. He asked softly, "Sir Dou, I have heard this person Duan Qingchen?"
"Duan Qingchen?" Dou Kui thought for a moment and shook his head: "Hou Ye, who is this?"
"This person is a Helianthus, I heard that he has sneaked into the capital." Qi Ning stared at Dou Kui's eyes: "Master Dou think carefully, has anyone heard of this person?"
Dou Kui was surprised and said: "Heren of the black lotus?" Frowning and contemplating, he shook his head a moment later: "Hou Ye, Xiaguan really did not hear the name of this person. Xiaguan didn't know much about Helian. Only I heard that Hei Lian is a great master, yes, there is also a poison king. This person is also very fierce. The name Duan Qingchen was heard for the first time.
Qi Ning knew that Dou Kui was very treacherous, but looking at his eyes, he knew that he didn't lie this time.
Duan Qingchen is one of the four holy envoys of Helianism, but few people know this person's name and surname.
For this shadow mouse, the grey crow was brought in by Duan Qingchen, but the shadow crow was used by the Huainan king. Qi Ning knew that Duan Qingchen must be connected with the Huainan king.
Whether Duan Qingchen died in the emperor ’s mausoleum, Qi Ning could not be sure that Dou Kui and the Huainan King were very close. Qi Ning thought that since Duan Qingchen was involved with the Huainan King, as one of Huainan ’s confidants, Dou Kui might know Duan Qingchen ’s existence However, it now appears that the Huainan King apparently concealed the existence of the shadow mouse from Dou Kui.
Su Zhen couldn't help but say: "What are you looking for Duan Qingchen to do? This person dives into the capital, what do you want to do?"
Qi Ning knew very clearly that although Su Zhen surrendered to the Huainan King, the day was not long, and the Huainan King might not see Su Zhen in his heart, and even things that Dou Kui didn't know, Su Zhen was even more unlikely to know, and smiled lightly, saying: "I just heard that this person has sneaked into the capital and I don't know what to do."
Dou Kui arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye has worked hard for days, and the official hasn't bothered much, so he will retire for the time being."
Qi Ning arched his hand, Su Zhen adjusted his entire shirt, and then slowly walked out. When he was about to walk out of the door, Qi Ning suddenly said: "Wu Xianghou, Miss Su will soon marry Dong Qi and become Dong Qi's prince Concubine, is really gratifying. "
Su Zhen didn't know why Qi Ning mentioned this stubbornness, and then he looked back and saw that Qi Ning was looking at himself. After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly.
"Miss Lady is beautiful, but I don't know if Wu Xianghou occasionally thinks of another person." Qi Ning sat down.
Dou Kui knew that Qi Ning had something to say, but he was also interested. He said to Su Zhen: "Hou Ye, go out and wait for the next officer." Quickly left.
Su Zhen frowned, carrying her hands, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything," Qi Ning said: "Maybe I'm busy with business, I just want to ask Wu Xianghou, after all these years, you have no guilt in Xiaoyao's heart?"
Su Zhen's eyes twitched ~ EbookFREE.me ~ His face was a little ugly, silent for a moment, and finally said: "You didn't help me take care of her, she ... now seems to be okay."
"It seems that you are not indifferent to her." Qi Ning picked up the tea cup and did not look at Su Zhen. Su Zhen stood for a moment, and finally turned around and walked away quickly.
When Su Zhen and Dou Kui left, Qi Feng, who was guarding the door, came in and disdain: "Hou Ye, beware of this kind of man with Dou on both sides and three knives. Be careful of this kind of person. He even went to King Huainan, hum, today he still faces the door of Houhou Palace. "
Qi Ning put down the teacup and said: "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies. What is the character of Dou Kui, I do n’t care, and I have never thought of being friends with him. If you want to grow, you will need silver. If he can use it for me, he might as well use it first. "
Qi Feng had been standing outside the door before, and the conversations of several people were also indistinguishable. He whispered: "Hou Ye, King Huainan is dead. It will not be easy to deal with the Sima family. Fortunately, we still have black scales in our hands Battalion, besides the Black Sword Battalion, Sima's family has not been able to control the other soldiers and horses, and he dare not treat us. "
"You're not wrong in saying this." Qi Ning's eyes were deep: "The Sima family must have hatred for our Qi family. If we want to keep the Qi family, not only can they not get more military power, but they must quickly expand the black scale camp. This is the only force we can control. "Speaking of which, stop talking and think deeply.
At this moment, a person hurried in from outside the door and said: "Hou Ye, there is a customer to ask for a look!"
Qi Ning looked at the sky, it was almost dawn, frowned: "Who is still running at this time?" Before he finished, he saw a figure has floated into the hall, and said with a deep voice: "It's me!"
