Chapter 1301 1301: You have a serious illness (Part 2) [Please vote for me]
"Ho **** ho ho..."
As Miao Ne's strength gradually increased, the eyes of Lord Qi's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, almost protruding from the sockets. She desperately made meaningless whooshing noises, and her strength in struggling with her hands and feet became weaker and weaker. She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure out why "You Bao" would betray him.
Obviously everything "You Bao" has is based on her as the king! Once it loses the trust of the king, "You Bao" is nothing. Why betrayal? Why was she the one who betrayed! The force in his throat was so heavy that the king's neck felt like it was about to be strangled, and the scene before his eyes gradually blurred: "For..."
She just wanted to ask why!
Miao Ne was not a good man and a woman of faith, so naturally he would not let the other party know it clearly. He was about to kill the person in one go, but the string in his hand broke unexpectedly. When the leader of the Qi Kingdom was about to fall into coma, he felt the fatal restraint on his neck loosen.
Her body rolled half a circle.
The joy of escaping from death had not yet reached her brain, she saw "You Bao" above her with an impatient expression on her face, her fingers turned into claws, and she grabbed the blood stains from the strings. With decisive force, the bones under the fingertips shattered. The leader of the Qi Kingdom tilted his head and lost his breath, but his eyes were still wide open. Miao Ne bent her fingers and checked her breathing. She was convinced that the person was completely dead, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally dead." When Miao Ne came back to his senses, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands were so tense that they had no strength. The man in front of her was the lord of a country after all. She had even called her "Lord" for several years, so he could be regarded as her serious lord. It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous about assassinating the opponent single-handedly.
Miao Ne didn't have time to sigh.
She regained her strength a little, stood up, put the body of Lord Qi into a sleeping position, put down the tent hooks, and used the little tricks she had learned from traveling around the world to disguise the sound of a living person breathing. The guards who were transferred will come back quickly, and the sound of breathing can deceive them for a while.
Erasing the traces of the king's struggle and mess before his death, everything is done. Miao Ne took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and left with a normal expression. Returning to her residence, she was thinking about her next step—leaving before everyone noticed the death of the king, or continuing to lurk and pretend? Both paths carry risks.
Continue to lurk and pretend?
No one knows how many magical spirits there are in the world. Can these spirits trace the scene before death from the corpse?
Leave now?
All the passes here are strictly guarded and no one is allowed to enter or exit.
Breaking through the barrier rashly is just asking for trouble.
Hiding in the pass is also easy to catch a turtle in the urn.
Miao Ne was not afraid of death. She encountered more dangers when she was wandering around than she does now, but if she could live, no one would want to die. She rubbed her tea cup and thought about whether to use Cui Xiong. As Cui Xiong's current interlocutor, whether he is threatening him as a hostage or coaxing him into sending him out, his chances of success are high. Miao Ne took a sip of herbal tea and made a decision.
The footsteps of servants came from outside the door: "Female Master."
"What's the matter?"
The servant said: "Cui Langjun is here to visit."
Miao Ne raised an eyebrow, is this too much of a coincidence?
I was just about to coax Cui Xiong, but Cui Xiong came?
I really dozed off with only a pillow.
"Don't be lazy and invite people in."
Cui Xiong was still dressed in daytime clothes, looking worried, and Miao Ne stood up to greet him. When Cui Xiong heard the sound of her footsteps, he came back to his senses. He naturally held her cold hand with familiarity, frowned and said, "Why don't you let someone light the lamp at this time?"
"After all, I'm not used to it. It's normal for me to be lazy occasionally."
Cui Xiong said: "You are too lenient to them."
"Now you are living under someone else's roof. How can you be picky?" The generals in this area cannot be completely trusted. Whether he suffered a defeat and fled to someone else's territory, he still has to keep his tail between his legs and be a good man.
Cui Xiong took out the fire stick and lit the oil lamp.
The candlelight reflected his angular and pretty face.
Miao Ne had to admit that the children of the Cui family were quite capable. Taking advantage of their parents' appearance, Cui Xiong's appearance ranked among the top ten among the people she had ever seen. If you count his personality, he would be ranked number one. Others are too picky.
Cui Xiong didn't know what she was thinking: "You don't have to be so aggrieved."
"Do you mean you want me to pretend to be powerful?"
"Why not? No one can neglect the future wife of the Cui family. To neglect you is to neglect me, and to neglect me is to go against the Cui family." Cui Xiong's words made Miao Na wary.
She tentatively asked: "Are you unhappy that someone is looking for you?"
Otherwise, how could Cui Xiong have such a "big change in temperament"?
He was usually humble and gentle, and could not say such a thing.
Cui Xiong put away the fire fold, lifted up the hem of his clothes, and sat down elegantly opposite Miao Ne. He didn't speak, but stared at Miao Ne with deep and obscure eyes, which made Miao Ne's spine feel cold. He couldn't help but use his long sleeves to cover up, and touched the dagger on his wrist: "You-"
"Hou Bai."
"Um?"
"Call me Hou Bai, I rarely hear Baojun call me like this." Cui Xiong blinked, and the deep and obscure look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by Miao Ne's familiar gentleness, "Or call me Brother Bai?"
Both titles seemed too intimate.
Miao Ne didn’t choose any of them.
She wanted to know what kind of hooligan Cui Xiong was playing when he came over at night. Even for an unmarried couple who had been engaged for many years, it was a bit rude for someone to call them "Brother Bai" out of the blue. If Cui Xiong's aura was not normal, she would suspect that the other party was fake.
Cui Xiong definitely concealed things.
"Why did you come here this time?"
Cui Xiong's rhetorical question forced Miao Ne to lift the table first: "Does Mr. Bao know that there are Cui's confidants among the royal guards?"
The table rolled several times.
Cui Xiong had a dagger pressed against his neck.
Miao Na said: "You know?"
Cui Xiong was stiff, as if he didn't expect Miao Ne's reaction to be so crisp and ruthless. Without knowing his intentions, Miao Ne had already assumed that he was an enemy? He calmed down and said: "The guard change is different from the past. There is half a quarter of an hour of emptiness... You usually wouldn't make such a mistake... It's just that I didn't expect that Baojun actually committed regicide. Why did you do this?"
The question that the king had no time to ask was asked by him.
Miao Na said: "What do you think?"
Cui Xiong's tense muscles gradually relaxed, and his eyebrows relaxed - before seeing Miao Ne, he thought that an enemy had secretly replaced You Bao, but now he was sure that this was her true identity.
Cui Xiong whispered: "You underestimate the holder of the national seal too much. Without special means, the self-protection ability of a ruler who is a scribe is much lower than that of a ruler who is a warrior... I don't know how many times he has been assassinated."
His words made Miao Ne's pupils tremble.
She said ferociously: "She's not dead?"
The dagger in his hand scratched Cui Xiong's skin, leaving blood marks.
Cui Xiong ignored the existence of the dagger, and gently patted her tense back with his other hand that was not suppressed by Miao Ne's knees, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, people are dead, fake death becomes real death."
A simple sentence, a huge amount of information.
Miao Ne said: "Did you kill him?"
He was planning in his mind whether to follow his plan or not.
Cui Xiong was completely unaware: "No, the injuries you left were too severe. She woke up midway but no one called a doctor for her."
The imperial guards were deaf and did not hear any strange noises in the house, nor did they look. Considering that there was no Xinglin doctor nearby, even if the imperial guards broke in and found out, the chance of the king surviving was unlikely, but Yubao's regicide would definitely happen. If exposed, it will be difficult to fly.
The person was killed by You Bao.
At best, he is an accomplice who refuses to save himself.
Miao Ne's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, but there was a more difficult problem in front of him: "Cui Houbai, what is your purpose?"
Knowing that she had killed her master, he helped her hide it?
Cui Xiong whispered: "It's my turn to ask this question."
Such a big thing cannot happen on a whim. Miao Ne wanted to laugh after hearing this: "What's so difficult about this problem? People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. She is gone, and I don't want to continue to be a grandson. If I don't find another way out, will I be hanged by a tree? Just kill him if you want. Is this a satisfactory answer?"
Cui Xiong was not satisfied at all.
"You're not telling the truth."
"If I tell you the truth, you won't survive!"
To admit in disguise, the above paragraph is perfunctory.
Cui Xiong said: "I don't want anything to happen to you."
"What?"
"Didn't Baojun ask me what my purpose is? I don't want anything to happen to you! The king and you, naturally... you are more important."
Miao Ne's hand holding the dagger was trembling.
Not because I was moved, but because I was shocked.
He was shocked that Cui Xiong, an honest man who followed the rules, had such a crazy side. Just because someone "doesn't want anything to happen to you" dares to drag the king to death and cover up the murderer? Is there any problem with Cui's tutoring? It was as if Miao Na had met Cui Houbai for the first time.
"Do you think..." She swallowed, "I would believe it?"
Can't believe it at all.
She was even more expecting Cui Xiong to say something like - Qi State is in doom, and he wants to make plans as soon as possible to benefit the Cui family.
Cui Xiong said: "Why don't you believe it?"
Miao Ne: "..."
Why should she believe it? If Cui Xiong is a normal person, how can he trust a person who is hypocritical from beginning to end?
Miao Ne looked at the young man below her with sincere eyes.
"Cui Houbai."
"Baojun?"
"I'll lend you as a hostage!"
Miao Ne struck out swiftly and decisively, and Cui Xiong received a heavy blow on the neck. If Cui Xiong lied, his lie would be exposed; if he didn't lie, he would be cleared of suspicion as a hostage, and he would be able to get out of trouble smoothly, which is killing two birds with one stone...
It is indeed easy to use Cui Xiong to open the gateway.
The guard himself owed the Cui family a favor, so naturally he would not allow the young master of the Cui family to be killed by gangsters in front of his eyes, so he opened the gate and let Miao Ne leave. Cui Xiong was thrown on the horse, but he still tried to persuade Miao Ne: "Baojun, you don't have to be like this."
Cui Xiong said: "Actually, changing the country's owner now will bring more benefits than harm to the Cui family. You and I are on the same page..."
He is not entirely for his fiancée, half and half.
"Shut up!"
"oh."
The hostages cooperated very well, and Miao Ne managed to escape without any danger.
After running for fifty or sixty miles, he finally saw a river. Miao Ne left Cui Xiong behind and said, "If you stay here, someone will come looking for you."
"Baojun!"
"I'm not!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he actually heard the truth, Cui Xiong's breathing became heavy for a moment, and his heart seemed to be squeezed by something, making him breathless. Are they all fake?
Miao Ne used one hand to seal the secret and set up a spiritual prison.
"When I'm safe, I'll untie it."
After saying that, he used his spirit spirit [Crossing the River with a Reed], and his body disappeared into the vast river at an extremely fast speed. Cui Xiong stepped forward but was blocked by the spirit of words under his feet. His lips were burnt and his mouth was dry, but there was nothing he could do. Less than half an hour later, Cui's guard came over with the guard's confidants.
Cui Xiong was relieved: "I'm fine."
"But your neck is still bleeding..."
"It doesn't matter." Cui Xiong bandaged the wound with a handkerchief. This handkerchief was a return gift from Baojun. He always carries it with him. "The bad guy has been picked up by someone. If you chase him now, you can't catch him. Don't wait. If you’re delayed here, go back and investigate quickly!”
Cui Xiong didn't pursue the bad guys, and the guard's confidants were happy to see the results. He was most afraid of these aristocratic family members using the issue to make things difficult for others.
However, I never expected that the leader of the country would be assassinated! Not only did the king die, but the body of the king's confidant was also found in the pond. It is said that this queen of the You family was Cui Dalang's fiancée. Cui Dalang, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, heard about this and fainted on the spot!
Miao Ne restored his original appearance, dressed up as a male ranger, and wandered around the city, but he did not hear even a few words of news about the assassination of the king, let alone the death of the king. On the contrary, I heard rumors that Cui Xiong was seriously ill and Cui Zhi came here despite his illness.
She did see a motorcade carrying the Cui clan emblem along the way.
"Is Cui Jishan really here?"
Miao Ne lowered the brim of his hat and blended into the crowd.
Anyway, what happens next has nothing to do with her.
Little did they know that Cui Zhi was now one of the top two.
Cui Zhi, who was seriously ill in the outside world, now walked as fast as flying and rushed all the way to the eldest son's room. There was a strong smell of soup in the room, and Cui Xiong looked pale and sickly. Seeing his father standing outside the house, Cui Xiong put down the soup and stood up to salute.
Then, he was slapped by his father.
"Cui Houbai, you are so brave!"
Cui Xiong did not argue and leaned forward to plead guilty.
Cui Zhi said: "Did you kill her?"
Cui Xiong swallowed the blood secreted from his gums: "Yes."
He admitted it so readily that Cui Zhi couldn't let go of his second slap. He thought that the eldest son would be the most worry-free, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him a "surprise" out of the blue. Cui Zhi lifted up his clothes and sat down, angrily saying, "You'd better explain clearly!"
Cui Xiong said: "There is no easy explanation."
Cui Zhi almost crushed the tea cup.
He lowered his voice and said: "Cui Houbai, why are you crazy! Do you know that you are taking your own future as your own will now? If the news of the lord murder spreads, who will be able to tolerate you and the Cui family in the future?"
Cui Zhi is worried about his son's future.
Due to various reasons, Cui Zhi's retirement is inevitable.
It is inevitable that Cui Xiong will be pushed to the forefront, but he is too young, and it is difficult to deal with the elders in the clan. In the future, he will need to deal with the royal court and the Kang family when integrating into Kang State... Cui Xiong cannot be without edge, but he cannot be too sharp. , oneself cannot leave anything to criticize. Everything is fine, Cui Xiong went to kill the king?
Cui Zhi never imagined that it was his eldest son who did it.
"Who are you hiding it for?"
Without moving his eyelids, Cui Xiong asked, "When will my father plan to announce the news that the Lord is suffering from a serious illness?"
Cui Zhi laughed angrily.
"Okay, okay, what a lawless person!"
After doing such a big thing, you can still lie without hesitation.
However, Cui Zhi only had two sons and only one heir whom he focused on cultivating. He could only hold his nose and deal with the aftermath.
"Go back and wait for the family to serve you!"

Cui Xiong saved his life.
PS: Love brain is probably the biggest misunderstanding about Cui Xiong.
