For so many years, Dong Qingyun has also imagined that the emperor of Beiqing has forgotten this matter, or he is looking forward to the reunification of Daqing again...... It doesn't matter whether it's North Qingsheng or South Qingsheng, although you may feel guilty in your heart, but in this way, this matter can become history.

But the result is ...... The emperor of Beiqing has not forgotten his important "chess piece", and the only thing he can do is to face it! He didn't dare to tell his family that even if he knew that his wife and children had been worried about this matter since he came to Jinling this time, he could only remain silent...... How many days and nights have he tossed and turned about this, this is a quagmire, a bottomless quagmire.

The guards in the courtyard, including Qiao Cannon, were indeed sent by Emperor Beiqing. Although he is here to help himself, why not to supervise himself?

In this way, Shi Yuan really didn't threaten himself, the only thing that could threaten himself was his current identity......

Thinking in his heart, looking at Shi Yuan, Dong Qingyun couldn't say a word. And Brother Shi saw that his face was ugly, and he couldn't bear it, sighed softly, shook his head, and then looked at him and asked, "Uncle Dong, I want to ask, why are you doing these things?" Seriously, you are now in a high position in Nanqing, so why do you want to come to Jinling to risk your life? ”

Compared with calling Dong Qingyun Lord Dong before, his current "Uncle Dong" sounds much closer. Fang's serious and tense atmosphere seems to have dissipated a little.

But Dong Qingyun, who had a complicated mind, heard him ask, but he still didn't have a good face. I don't know if it's because Brother Shi moved to his sore spot and was depressed, or because of something else, so he replied very dissatisfiedly: "If you know, why do you need to ask me?" I'm talking to you about this Jiangnan Poetry Club, don't change the conversation! ”

Brother Shi didn't pay attention to the words of the Jiangnan Poetry Club he mentioned again, but smiled slightly: "If I didn't guess wrong...... Uncle Dong, you want to protect Brother Dong, Miss Liu and Aunt Liu......"

He was direct, and he opened his mouth to say what he thought in his heart. But when he said this, he paused in tone, looked up at Dong Qingyun deeply, and then asked with deep meaning: "Have you ever thought about it, uncle...... Even if the Jinling affair is completed and the Beiqing Emperor reunifies Daqing, you dare to guarantee that the Beiqing Emperor will treat you well? ”

Dong Qingyun's face flashed with a hint of complexity, and he wanted to speak, but in the end he stopped...... The so-called rabbit dead dog cooking, has been an official for many years, how could he not know this truth?

What's more, he is a chess piece and a spy in Nanqing, even if it is successful, I am afraid that he will not get any reward. Because his identity is not decent, it is not so glorious.

If it succeeds in the future, his best outcome is to return to his hometown. If Emperor Beiqing was ruthless in his heart and gave him a three-foot white cloth, it would not be impossible...... The so-called king is nothing more than a person who wants to be dissatisfied and unscrupulous.

And if it doesn't work out this time, his identity will definitely be exposed. In this way, there is no need to think about the matter of saying goodbye to the old and returning to the hometown, and the head of the person on the item is the old and the young. He could have fled to Beiqing, but how could the Emperor of Beiqing be contained by the defeated general?

Although he felt that with his relationship with Emperor Beiqing, he still had some hope, but he didn't dare to bet. Winning is okay, but losing is ...... He didn't live alone.

All in all, it was a very sharp question, and it was the one he thought about the most.

He also thought about it and thought about his own future...... But under the whole world, if it is not the king's land, where can he hide? What's more, he is now middle-aged, and he is the youngest in the Nanqing Dynasty. Let him completely let go of these things and let go of the ambitions in his heart...... But there is also some reluctance.

He originally wanted to tell Shi Yuan some official words for the government and the people when they met for the first time, but since Shi Yuan had already asked, he was afraid that he already had the answer in his heart! Why would he say any more lies from those who deceive himself?

So, when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and stopped...... At the same time, all of a sudden, he remembered the letter that Baihua had written to him before. In addition, when Shi Yuan asked so now, a very bold idea popped up in his heart.

Although this idea is not like what Shen Wei said to Shi Yuan, "You want to be the emperor?" "It's so direct, but it's so close! It was also this kind of thought, which made him speechless for a while......

Seeing that Dong Qingyun didn't speak, Brother Shi continued: "Uncle Dong, now that the words have come to this point, you and I are both smart people, and you know the meaning of my words...... That's right! I don't plan to help Beiqing, and I don't plan to help Nanqing! I'm ready to ...... Help ourselves! ”

If in the past, according to Dong Qingyun's character of following etiquette, he would definitely be angry at this rebellious remark. But now...... He didn't want to.

Dong Qingyun is a very capable person, even if he is in Nanqing, but he has been able to go from a local official to a minister in Nanqing over the years, and he is still middle-aged, and his future is limitless...... It does take a lot of power. Because even if the means are like a hundred flowers, they have never seen anything abnormal about him.

But he is not an ambitious person, he knows the duty of a courtier, even if he has to do things for Beiqing now, but the emperor of Beiqing is also the second prince of Daqing!

The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. These words sound strong, and they are easy to say. But it's hard to really do it. No one willingly surrenders their lives to someone else! Dong Qingyun is stubborn, although he has no ambition, but he will never be a foolish and loyal person.

Therefore, after seeing Baihua's letter, although he was also surprised, he did not rush to find Shi Yuan. He hesitated in his heart, and he even hoped that Shi Yuan could bring a different hope......

Now, as I thought, such hope has been placed in front of me...... Shi Yuan is really an unconscious master!

"Alas......" With a long sigh, Dong Qingyun sat down again and said: "I was young back then, and I went to Beijing to take the exam, it was Layue, and it had not snowed in the capital for many years, but it snowed that year. I passed by the Beijing Leiyin Temple, the plum blossoms in the temple are blooming, and I want to enjoy the plum blossoms. But I didn't expect that the young second prince was also in the temple at that time......"
