Liu Qing knew very well that among the seven kings, choosing Xiao Ning would be a dead end!
Even after choosing him, the Seven Kings may not be able to compete for hegemony. Xiao Ning has already been removed from Dayao.
However, she is willing to do it.
Moreover, after choosing the master, she will really concentrate on assisting Xiao Ning.
The reason for all this is simple, just because she wants to help her adoptive father do something.
Helping Xiao Ning and protecting Xiao Ning is what the adoptive father wants to do most now.
The adoptive father has the grace to save his life and the kindness to raise him.
Now, my adoptive father is seriously ill and I don't have much time left to fulfill my filial piety.
Therefore, the only thing I can do is to help my adoptive father and continue to complete some of the things he wants to do after he passes away.
In terms of respecting her teachers and fulfilling her filial piety, she chose the latter.
Although, this decision will disappoint the masters and brothers on Mount Confucianism.
But she doesn't hesitate!
Join Xiao Ning's camp, yes, escape from death.
As for what, in the battle of seven kings, to complete the unification?
That is something completely impossible to accomplish.
But does it all matter?
I did what I really wanted to do, and I reassured my adoptive father, and that's the most important thing.
This is what Liu Qing is thinking now.
She knew that her big gamble would definitely fail.
Choosing this Xiao Ning has no chance of winning at all.
But she is willing to do it!
She looked at Xiao Ning quietly. Ever since she saw Xiao Ning today, her eyes had been falling on the man she was determined to help.
Whether it was the first meeting or later through the analysis of his words and deeds, what Liu Qing saw in the other person was that he was a playboy, unambitious, and dissolute, etc. that were consistent with the rumors...
only.
I don't know why, at this moment, when my eyes fell on the face of the new emperor again.
She seemed to suddenly feel that the temperament of the new emperor in front of her was a little different from just now!
This kind of temperament is a kind of enveloping feeling that is indescribable and unclear, but makes people unaware of it!
She had only seen it in one person before!
Back then, on the top of Confucian Mountain, there was the most omniscient saint in the world, Kong Nan!
strangeness.
When the new emperor entered the palace just now, he gave people the feeling of being in a pool.
Why at this moment, he suddenly gave people the illusion that he would turn into a dragon when encountering wind and rain?
You know, this kind of temperament cannot be disguised casually, right?
That has to be gradually tempered after going through vicissitudes of life.
What has this new emperor experienced before?
Could it be possible that the seemingly dandy new emperor in front of him actually has something extraordinary!
What he said just now, "The lion is pretending to sleep," was it a prophecy?
Guo Yi stood aside, seeing this scene and listening to Liu Qing's words, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
How could he not see what Liu Qing was thinking.
At the same time, he also understood Liu Qing's temper.
This girl, despite her quiet and elegant appearance, is actually very stubborn and ruthless.
Once she makes a decision, no one can change it.
It's just a pity, Xiao Ning is really not worth helping.
In fact, for Guo Yi, he didn't hope that Liu Qing could assist Xiao Ning.
If Xiao Ning is really this material, he will definitely dissuade Liu Qing and go to assist Xiao Ning.
However, he knows best what Xiao Ning looks like.
Although I don't want to say it, the phrase "mud can't hold up the wall" to describe Xiao Ning is indeed the most appropriate one.
Isn't the veteran Pei Shiji a good example?
He tried so hard to dissuade her, but as a result, he killed someone this morning.
Such Xiao Ning, let alone Liu Qing, even if the best counselor in the world came to assist, it would probably be of no avail.
Guo Yi is willing to assist Xiao Ning because he really regards Xiao Ning as his own.
He could not watch helplessly as his descendants walked towards destruction step by step in the court.
But Liu Qing, she has no feelings for Xiao Ning, and the two of them have almost never interacted in the past. There is absolutely no need for her to wade into this muddy water!
But now, I'm afraid I can't stop all this.
What a pity Qing'er.
As the ninth person on the list of counselors in Tianji Mountain, if she goes out and chooses a wise master, her future will really be limitless.
Thinking of this, Guo Yi felt a pang of regret in her heart.
"Ahem~~~"
For a moment, Guo Yi felt anxious thinking about the future of Xiao Ning and Liu Qing, so she had to leave the hall temporarily and go to the pharmacy to get medicine.
In the hall, only Liu Qing and Xiao Ning were left again.
Liu Qing's eyes still stayed on Xiao Ning.
After noticing something strange about Xiao Ning, she was still examining Xiao Ning carefully.
Xiao Ning didn't expect that Liu Qing would come out suddenly, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
He could see that Liu Qing's surrender was sincere.
He looked slightly serious, glanced at Liu Qing, and spoke slowly:
"This matter is no child's play. Have you thought about it? Now that you have anticipated the situation of the seven kings fighting for hegemony in the future."
"Then you should know that my throne will most likely not last long."
"It is inevitable that the seven kings will fight for hegemony in the future. And I am the one least worthy of assistance among the seven kings."
"This is a road of nine deaths. Have you thought about it?"
At this moment, Xiao Ning completely put away his previous casualness and replaced it with endless solemnity.
Seeing Xiao Ning like this, Liu Qing was stunned for the first time in front of Xiao Ning because of the new emperor.
It seems that my intuition is not wrong.
It seems that the new emperor is not as simple as the rumors say!
At least, you can hear it from what he just said.
He is very clear about his current situation.
The new emperor is not confused.
If you remove the first impression of the new emperor when he entered the palace, just look at this moment.
Based on the other person's behavior, Liu Qing will judge that the other person is a wise king who is forging ahead and has a big heart.
"Qing'er has thought about it. Moreover, Qing'er's choice to assist His Majesty was never for any great cause."
"Guo Daxiang regards the following as his own, and I am Guo Daxiang's adopted daughter. You and I are a family. How can there be any reason in this world not to help one's own family but to help outsiders instead?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Qing'er will definitely assist your Majesty with all her strength in the future."
Liu Qing cupped her hands and said with firm eyes.
What a loyal and filial woman.
this moment.
From the figure of Liu Qing in front of him, Xiao Ning felt that he even saw a few traces of Wei Qingwan.
Of course, not emotionally, but temperamentally.
"In this case, I think I will not let you down."
Facing Liu Qing, Xiao Ning put on a serious look and promised.
Facing the suddenly serious Xiao Ning, Liu Qing felt a little uncomfortable.
To be honest, she really didn't know what Xiao Ning said. Where did the new emperor get his confidence?
Reason also tells me that the so-called will not let me down is absolutely impossible.
Xiao Ning has no chance of winning in the future chaos.
This is for sure, Liu Qing knows it very well.
But, I don't know why.
Facing Xiao Ning, when he said these words, his voice seemed to have some magic power.
Liu Qing just couldn't help but want to believe it!
"In that case, today's agreement between you and me is fulfilled."
"I was supposed to go to Rushan early today. In order to see His Majesty, Qing'er waited until now."
"Now, everything that Qing'er wanted to do has been completed. Qing'er will temporarily excuse me and go to Confucianism Mountain to meet the Master."
"See you later."
Liu Qing bowed her hands, except in the main hall.
After that, it seems that he went to the pharmacy again to help Guo Yi prepare medicine.
Inside the pharmacy.
"Come on, let me do it."
Liu Qing took the fan from the servant and said.
Guo Yi on the side saw Liu Qing coming in and asked:
"Have you discussed it with Xiao Ning?"
"It's been discussed."
Liu Qing nodded.
"Tell me, why are you doing this? You have great potential, but now the troubled times of Dayao are coming. This is the best stage God has prepared for you!"
"But, you chose Xiao Ning for my Guo family!"
"Unfaithful father, this is not only your Guo family, but also Qing'er's Guo family."
Liu Qing replied simply while moving.
"Even if this is the case, you also know this Xiao Ning. If you assist him, it's just like, hey..."
Guo Yi hesitated to speak. He really didn't want to drag down Liu Qing, who was in his prime and should have accomplished something because of himself.
But when he saw Liu Qing, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around and said:
"Father, do you think you really understand Xiao Ning?"
"I grew up watching him, of course I know him."
"But, I feel that he is not as simple as we seem."
"I have an intuition that maybe my adoptive father doesn't know the real Xiao Ning."
"Besides, if I assist Xiao Ning, it may not mean a narrow escape from death."
"Our new emperor is not necessarily worse than the other six kings!"
Liu Qing analyzed.
After hearing this, Guo Yi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes became serious.
Lu Qing was also brought up by him.
He could tell at a glance whether this little girl was lying.
For example, just now, the reason Lu Qing said in the main hall for assisting Xiao Ning was a lie.
And what I’m saying before me is the truth!
It’s not necessarily worse than the Six Kings!
Liu Qing is not a guy who likes to praise others.
It is really rare to hear such comments from her mouth.
Don’t you know the real Xiao Ning?
So what does the real Xiao Ning look like?
Guo Yi thought lightly, already taking these words to heart.
You know, Liu Qing's vision of people has always been very accurate.
It is precisely because of this that Guo Yi takes this matter so seriously.
"How can I see it?"
"There is no real basis. It's just an intuition that there may be another side to Xiao Ning that we haven't seen before."
"It will take me about another year and a half to go to Confucian Mountain. On Confucian Mountain, I will also keep an eye on the capital and help His Majesty keep an eye on this side."
"When my adoptive father comes into contact with Xiao Ning, he can pay attention intentionally to verify the possibility of what I said."
After Liu Qing finished speaking, she poured the fried medicine into a bowl and put it aside to help Guo Yi cool down.
Looking at the hot steam rising from the pill, Liu Qing clasped her fists:
"Father, don't forget to take your medicine on time. Qing'er is leaving first."
Looking at Liu Qing's leaving figure.
Guo Yi held the medicine bowl in his hand and threw it to the ground without any warning.
The medicine bowl was caught off guard and smashed into pieces.
"hahahahahahahahahahaha……"
Guo Yi raised his head and laughed.
He is really happy.
This is a smile of relief, a smile of peace of mind.
"Master, how did you take the medicine? You are not injured."
The servant heard the noise and ran over to ask.
In response, Guo Yi just raised his eyebrows:
"In those days, I also drew a long bow, defeated fierce horses, went to the battlefield, and killed enemy bandits."
"How can a dignified man deal with this decoction every day?"
"Life and death are determined by themselves, so why should we be afraid of death? From today on, I will no longer take medicine."
After Guo Yi finished speaking, he waved and walked towards the outside of the pharmacy.
In fact.
Guo Yi was never afraid of death.
The reason why he took medicine in the past was because he was worried about Xiao Ning.
nowadays.
After listening to Liu Qing's evaluation of Xiao Ning, plus Liu Qing's assistance and care for Xiao Ning.
Guo Yi suddenly felt that her tense heart seemed to be relieved.
I can definitely go down and see those old friends.
You know your own body.
As long as he survives seven days, he will get back the life he saved back then.
You can leave with peace of mind.
So, what medicine should I take?
At this moment, Guo Yi's old body seemed to suddenly become lighter.
This is called returning light.
Guo Yi did not go to the main hall this time. Instead, he went to the side of the main hall, a side house that looked older than the entire courtyard and was built with high quality.
This is the ancestral hall used by Guo Mansion to worship ancestors and display the ranking of ancestors.
at this time.
In the last row above the display table inside, there is also a memorial tablet of Xiao's Luo family.
Inside the ancestral hall.
Guo Yi, with joy in her heart and relaxed body, stood quietly in front of the memorial tablet, burned three sticks of incense, and said:
"Brother Xiao, now, this is all I can do."
"Since I was hit by those two arrows ten years ago, my body has suffered from serious illnesses."
"I can already feel that my body is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid I don't have much time left."
"You also know that Xiao Ning's temperament makes it difficult for him to be reused. I was really worried before."
"He has been a playboy since he was a child and has no strategy. In this capital, if there is no one to help him keep an eye on things, he may not be able to move forward alone."
"I was really worried about this at the beginning."
"Fortunately, Qing'er is here. Qing'er is a sensible girl. In order to make me feel at ease, she just gave up the Confucian sect's expectations of her."
"She is the ninth-ranked counselor on Jishan's counselor list that day. With her around, Xiao Ning will feel more comfortable in the court."
"We shouldn't need to worry too much about ordinary minor problems."
"Taking a step back, when the time comes, even if you can't secure the throne, with her here, there will still be no problem in protecting Xiao Ning's life."
"In this way, you and I, two old guys, can feel at ease."
"What's more, Qing'er also said that Xiao Ning is not necessarily worse than others."
"Qing'er has always judged people very accurately and never talks nonsense. Since he said it, it means that Xiao Ning may really have some hidden cards."
"Knowing this, I really feel at ease."
"In six more days, after I resolve the cause and effect of the Hexi Military Camp, I will go down to reunite with you."
Guo Yi stood under the thick rising smoke and muttered.
After bowing deeply, he returned to the main hall.
In the main hall, Guo Yi folded the rice paper that had just been dried and handed it to Xiao Ning, saying:
"Your Majesty, that's all I want to say. I just said it all."
"This piece of rice paper records all my advice. Your Majesty, please keep it."
"As for the matter of breaking your heart, if you do this, it will really relieve your majesty's resentment towards the old minister."
"Your Majesty has done this. You can really do what I said and be a good emperor."
"Then your Majesty will come to the house to find me in six days."
Guo Yi made a promise with a firm tone.
When he saw Xiao Ning sitting and drinking tea, he suddenly spoke.
"Come back in six days. Why, do you want me to wait for you to kill Prime Minister Mu before I come to take your life?"
"Today's weather is indeed getting colder and colder."
"But, even so, if you keep a ferocious beast in your house, you probably won't be able to keep warm."
Xiao Ning said, slowly stood up straight, and looked at Guo Yi sharply!
All of a sudden.
The entire Guo Mansion became quiet!
But outside the house, I heard the wind and clouds surging, and there was a sudden thunder!
