The heater had gone out, and it was a little cold inside the carriage. The carriage had stopped and was not moving, and it was quiet outside.
The most important thing is that the light in the car was extremely dim at this time, as if it had become dark.
He got up early in the morning and went out to look for Su Yunruo, but he took a nap in the car...
Is it already night? Qin Peiyou's heart sank, and he called out, "Rong Liang."
There was no response. After a long time, there was some movement outside.
It was a sneer.
Although the voice was soft, it was full of sarcasm.
Qin Peiyou suddenly became completely awake and even more alert. He first tightly grasped the dagger hidden in his sleeve, then carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, trying to see the situation outside.
What comes into view is the bluestone wall and the oil lamp hanging on the wall, which is burning brightly.
The horses in front of the carriage had long disappeared, leaving only the carriage parked here.
There was no sight of Rong Liang and the servant Liu Wen, but in front of the carriage, there were a few unfamiliar servants.
To the side was a stone table. Behind the table sat a man, holding a cup and drinking tea slowly.
Qin Peiyou narrowed his eyes and looked the man up and down. When he was sure that he had never seen the other person's face before, he frowned.
The man didn't know him.
But they went to great lengths to bring him here, and used Su Yunruo's name.
What about Su Yunruo? Is she here too? What on earth does she want to do...
After thinking for a while, Qin Peiyou stood up, reached out to lift the car curtain, and walked out.
Since you can't guess, just ask carefully.
Qin Peiyou walked straight to the stone table and said in a cold tone, "I don't know who you are and why you took so much trouble to bring me here. Where is Miss Su now?"
"I am the Great Wizard of Xijinyun Country." The Great Wizard didn't even raise his eyelids, but just stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."
The Great Wizard? The one who had assisted Tuoba Duan in his fight for the throne, encouraged Tuoba Duan to invade the Qin Kingdom, and even resorted to all means to win the war for the Western Jinyun Kingdom?
He Yanxiu and others had sent a letter to explain everything that had happened since Tuoba Yu returned to Beilun County of Xijinyun Kingdom, which mentioned that the great wizard of Xijinyun Kingdom had escaped from Beilun County.
"I thought the great wizard would save his life after escaping from Beilun County, but I never thought he would do the opposite and come to Xueyue Mansion."
Qin Peiyou said, "The great wizard is really confident about his own life."
"It doesn't make any difference whether you can let it go or not. It's just that there are people and things in your heart that you have to put to rest."
The great wizard reached out and took the empty cup beside him, filled it with tea for Qin Peiyou, and pushed it in front of him, "Drink tea."
Qin Peiyou did not reach out to take the teacup. He just looked coldly at the calm demeanor of the person in front of him and clenched his teeth unconsciously.
The great wizard picked up his teacup and raised his eyes. Seeing Qin Peiyou's angry face, he curled the corners of his lips and said, "Maybe you think my tea is unpalatable? That's right, you are the Crown Prince now, so you should eat and drink the best. You are naturally not used to drinking this kind of folk tea."
"It's a pity that these are all I can find right now, so Your Highness will just have to make do with this."
Now it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
The tone clearly sounded like an old acquaintance.
But Qin Peiyou couldn't remember the face of the man in front of him no matter what, so he could only ask in a stern voice, "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" The great wizard sneered, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly a forgetful person. In less than two years, you have completely forgotten me."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince framed me and staged a poisoning drama, and pushed me out as the culprit. Later, he ordered people to blow up the imperial mausoleum and kill me. He even killed my mother to prevent me from making a comeback!"
"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely forgotten all these things? Or has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince done so many evil things that these are not worth mentioning, so he doesn't take them to heart at all!"
Faced with the questioning of the person in front of him, Qin Peiyou was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, "You are... the second brother?"
But, this appearance...
Besides, didn't Qin Peiheng already die when the imperial mausoleum collapsed? When the body was examined, it was confirmed to be Qin Peiheng. Why was it that now...
Qin Peiyou's suspicious eyes wandered back and forth on Qin Peiheng's face, and he asked in a lost voice, "Are you still alive?"
"I'm still alive. You should be disappointed." Qin Peiheng sneered, "But God has blessed me. Although I was seriously injured, I have survived. I will recover in a few months."
"So you went to Xijinyun State and became the so-called great wizard beside Tuoba Duan, provoking a war between the two countries, not sparing lives and putting the people in dire straits?"
Since Qin Peiyou arrived in Xueyue Prefecture, he was unable to go to the front line due to the strict requirements of Duke Dingguo and He Yanxiu, and could not see the cruelty of the war directly.
But looking at the number of deaths in the war counted by the generals of the Lu family, the pensions distributed, the disabled soldiers everywhere in Xueyue Prefecture, and the people who had to flee everywhere to survive and froze to death or starved to death on the way...
Qin Peiyou knew very well that war meant a catastrophe for the people.
A catastrophe that could kill people at any time.
Qin Peiyou could accept Qin Peiheng's targeting and coveting of him in the early years, and could even understand what Qin Peiheng did to him.
But he could not accept disregarding the innocent lives of ordinary people for one's own selfish interests!
Qin Peiyou was furious, and he glared at Qin Peiheng viciously, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Qin Peiheng disagreed and even sneered, "Are you worried about the lives of the people right now?"
"After two years, my third brother is still so pretentious. His hypocritical face is really annoying. Those people's lives are lives, but what about my life and my mother's life? Aren't they lives?"
"How can I not take revenge for such a deep hatred? Not to mention the people living on the border, even if I have to let the whole world be buried with me, that is what I deserve!"
"It's you, Qin Peiyou, who framed me and caused the death of my mother. You even wanted to get rid of me, but now you are accusing me with a high-sounding excuse. Do you know how ridiculous you are?"
Qin Peiyou was also stunned when he heard Qin Peiheng mention this matter again.
At the beginning, he was poisoned by opium. Fortunately, Su Yujin discovered it early, otherwise his life would be in danger.
At that time, the imperial physician took the blame for the incident and said that he was taking revenge because of his son.
