Rong Qin, who thought the matter had been settled, suddenly trembled after hearing Cui Shaogong's voice.
When he turned around, the originally majestic army had naturally opened a gap, allowing Cui Shaogong to enter the palace unimpeded on his horse.
Behind him was naturally the famous Cui Jiajun.
Captain Cui?
Pei Qi was as shocked as Rong Qin. She climbed up from the ground with difficulty, supported her whole body with both hands, and looked back at the young captain who was wearing armor and was about the same age as her.
He actually came!
Pei Qi's eyes instantly filled with tears, whether it was surprise or excitement.
She asked Duan Qianjun to find Cui Shaogong, just to try her luck. She knew that in Cui Shaogong's eyes, his father's last words asking him to protect the Cui family were more important than anything else. The chance of him coming to contaminate the court was only a three-point chance. .
And these three points only came from the awe-inspiring Ling Yunzhi she had seen in Cui Shaogong's eyes.
From now on, I am afraid that the Cui family will never be able to escape from the disputes in the court.
Just think that she owed Cui Shaogong.
Rong Qin tried his best to control his emotions so that he didn't look too flustered, but the deliberately lowered voice had completely betrayed him: "Little Lieutenant Cui has never wanted to get involved in court affairs, why did he come here to disrupt the situation today?" ?”
Cui Shaogong got off his horse, and the spear he was holding tightly in his hand was being dragged to the ground. The friction between the tip of the spear and the ground produced eye-catching sparks and a harsh sound.
He walked towards Rong Qin slowly and finally stopped beside Pei Qi.
"The Cui family works for the king. Since this edict is the last words of the late emperor, I have the obligation to save the life of the imperial master. Master Rong wants to kill her, unless you have the ability to kill me first."
"Otherwise... Master Rong won't be able to touch her."
As Cui Shaogong said, although Rong Qin has more military power than Cui Shaogong, how can those arrogant soldiers stationed outside the city who are stationed in the imperial capital all day long compare to the soldiers far away on the border?
What's more, the legend of Lieutenant Cui is known to everyone in the military camp. Although these soldiers are not his subordinates, they must always be polite when meeting him. Just three words of Cui Shaogong are enough to intimidate the three armies.
Rong Qin's internal strength is unfathomable, but Cui Shaogong is a born warrior. How easy is it to defeat him?
But Pei Qi never expected that Duan Qianjun could persuade Cui Shaogong.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
In the tense and anxious atmosphere, several heavy claps of hands suddenly erupted.
It's Rong Qin.
Pei Qi raised his head and saw that his eyes, which had always been deep and cold, were now only a bright red, staring at her.
"Okay... okay!" Under the unclear gazes of the ministers, Rong Qin clapped his hands and shouted hello twice to Pei Qi.
Then, he raised his head high and closed his eyes tightly. The tears that almost burst out of his eyes were forced back by him.
After a long time, he calmed down and spoke slowly: "Duan Qianjun, Jiang Lingfeng, the eldest princess, the late emperor's edict... Pei Qi, Pei Qi, it turns out that Cui Shaogong is your last source of confidence?"
"After knowing that Su Yushi is you, I am still quite curious. Mr. Pei obviously never fights an uncertain battle, but why can Jiang Lingfeng, a few unscrupulous cranes, defeat you, who has no hope of success?" People who have gained even half of the power will appear here even if they risk their lives."
"It turns out that your last trump card is the Taiwei Mansion..."
It's not that he didn't try to win over the Cui family, it's just that he tried all means to make the Cui family sway even a little bit.
However, the Cui family has great achievements. He wants to get rid of him, but there is no way.
The Cui family simply wanted to protect the general Lang Wuyou and never interfered with the affairs of the court. Even Pei Qi couldn't persuade him, so he ignored the Cui family.
Unexpectedly, it became the unbreakable wall today.
At that time, he should have abandoned Zhaolan Palace and killed Pei Qi in prison, otherwise he would not have today, and all his preparations and hard work would be destroyed at this moment.
So far, there is nothing to struggle with. Jiang Fengchuan is afraid... that he will not be able to ascend the throne.
Everything has to be done again.
How long can the Great Anni Dynasty wait for him?
Oh, Pei Qi, what a good plan.
Just as Rong Qin was thinking about it, Pei Qi suddenly spoke.
"Rong Qin, Cui Shaogong is not my trump card."
"It's my desperate struggle."
Hearing this, Rong Qin's eyes became filled with confusion: "What do you mean?"
"As you think, his coming is not part of my plan at all." After Pei Qi finished speaking, he glanced sideways at the spear in Cui Shaogong's hand. Regardless of Cui Shaogong's unexpected look, he casually held the gun body and used it. The spear was used as a support and he got up from the ground.
Seeing that Cui Shaogong was still there like a wooden pestle, Pei Qi frowned and said dissatisfied: "You put it up, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to hold it."
"After all, he is a lieutenant. Why don't he have any eyesight?"
Cui Shaogong: "..."
"Then let me go?" Although Cui Shaogong was very accommodating to her and raised his spear after a short silence, he still couldn't help but want to fight back.
Hearing what he said, Pei Qi didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly admitted his mistake with a smile on his face: "No, no, no, no, it's not my fault."
You have military power, you are the father!
Standing up straight, Pei Qi took advantage of the quarrel with Cui Shaogong to stop talking, and then looked at Rong Qin again.
She gave a smile that was neither sad nor happy, and raised her head: "To be honest, when I showed up here today, I didn't expect to go back alive. No matter whether Jiang Fengchuan ascended the throne or not, whether I was Su Yushi or Pei Qi. , I will all die.”
Rong Qin's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little confused: "Before you revealed your identity, the true purpose was just to let Jiang Fengchuan ascend the throne, and I had no intention of killing you."
Even if he wanted to kill him, he would have to wait until he finished Jiang Fengchuan's affairs.
Su Yushi did not pose a threat to him.
"No, Rong Qin, you are not the only one who wants to kill me." After hearing Rong Qin's denial, Pei Qi shook his head: "As you wish, I will lose the Zhaolan Palace and the power of the court. Without the support of my family, this palace banquet is nothing more than a banquet to die for me. Apart from Jiang Lingfeng, my only bargaining chip and support is the gold medal arrow that was destroyed by you. Other than that, There is nothing more.”
"What about him?" Rong Qin suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Duan Qianjun: "You two have been singing in harmony since the beginning of this palace banquet. Do you dare to say that you are not on the same side?"
Pei Qi also followed Rong Qin's finger and looked at Duan Qianjun, but she only glanced at it and turned her head back.
The curvature of the corner of his mouth seemed extremely sarcastic: "Master Rong has been in the court for so many years, and you have expected every twist and turn."
"But as smart as you are, you actually believe that Duan Qianjun can help anyone sincerely... It's simply ridiculous."
