Chapter 187: The Gullibles

The hall of Nuoda was brightly lit, but there was only Shi Chaoqing alone, and Zhou Zhi, the official of Peng, had just been ordered to arrest Zhang Tongru, and there was no news so far, so he was anxious.

Zhang Yan's arrival eased his anxiety somewhat, and Shi Chaoqing stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Zhang Yan.

"What do you gain when you go out of town?"

The officials in this generation of palaces, except for Zhou Zhi, are Zhang Yan's most trusted. Seeing Shi Chaoqing's look of trust so much, Zhang Yan felt a little sorry in his heart, but this is the price of abandoning the dark and turning to the light, the eldest husband was born in this troubled world, so he naturally had to do something, not do nothing.

As soon as he thought of this, there was not much of the apology left in Zhang Yan's heart, he raised his head, looked directly at Shi Chaoqing, and said:

"When the subordinate goes out of the city, he has to meet a strange person, and he has a message to enter!"

Zhang Yan said it very mysteriously, Shi Chaoqing blinked, a little stunned, and then his eyes showed a look of joy.

"Where is this strange man now, bring him to me, no, I'm going to meet him myself......"

Under the excitement, Shi Chaoqing was a little incoherent. Zhang Yan knew that this matter was already halfway there.

"Don't worry, this strange man is waiting outside the door, ready to ...... at any time"

Without waiting for Zhang Yan to finish speaking, Shi Chaoqing was already impatient to rush out. Seeing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seemed that the acting king, who was also the supervisor of the country, had been frightened by the crisis.

Once he jumped out of the existing circle and looked back at his former self, Zhang Yan felt that it was ridiculous. In terms of qualifications, Shi Chaoqing is not even a Chinese person, even if you want to support such a person, how can you support it?

Qiu Bai, who was standing outside the gate of the Daiwang Mansion, was taken aback, and suddenly the middle door was opened, and a young man in a brocade robe without a crown rushed out, and then looked at the young man in the brocade robe followed by Zhang Yan who was trotting, and he also understood that this must be Shi Chaoqing.

Shi Chaoqing called out almost as he walked.

"Sir, laughter, Chaoqing greets the late ......"

This battle can surprise Qiu Bai a lot, he was still thinking about how to convince Shi Chaoqing with great effort, but now looking at this person's attitude, he actually regarded himself as a savior, I really don't know what Zhang Yan said in it.

It was only at this time that Shi Chaoqing woke up, and actually forgot to ask Zhang Yan about the name of this strange man, and he looked a little embarrassed when he stood in front of Qiu Bai.

Zhang Yan naturally understands these human etiquette, and immediately introduced:

"This is Mr. Qiu from Jiangxian County, Hedong!"

"Meet the acting king in Xiahedong Qiu Bai......"

Saying that, Qiu Bai wanted to worship, Shi Chaoqing had already regarded it as a life-saving straw, how could he really let him worship? Hurriedly held Qiu Bai's arms with both hands, and said in fear:

"Sir, don't bother Chaoqing, sir, please follow Chaoqing into the house!"

At the same time as entering the palace of the king, Shi Chaoqing instructed people to prepare wine and food, even if dinner was used at this hour, a long time had passed, and it could be used as a supper, drinking and talking.

The wine and meat were quickly served, but Qiu Bai secretly laughed, although the son of this traitor was clothed and fed, he did not know the etiquette of the Central Plains, how could he be entertained with wine and food when they met for the first time? Even if it was to show his attention, he only needed to meet in the main hall and serve tea and soup.

However, Qiu Bai entered the city this time as a lobbyist, the purpose was to persuade Shi Chaoqing that as for what etiquette is not etiquette, who can take care of it. Moreover, he was in a hurry to travel today, and now before the water and rice have entered, he has long been hungry, so he has opened up to eat meat and drink wine.

When the wine and meat were down, Ju Boden felt full of strength again.

Shi Chao, who was sitting with him, was so anxious early in the morning that he was sitting on pins and needles, but he had to pretend to be very patient, and when he saw Qiu Bai slowing down his action of drinking wine and eating meat, he straightened up and said:

"Chaoqing is facing a dilemma, please teach me sir without hesitation!"

At this time, Qiu Bai wiped the grease stains from his mouth and said:

"There is a big problem with the arrangement of the acting king, dare to ask why the soldiers and horses of King Qin outside the city are blocked outside the city gate and are not allowed to enter the city?"

"This ......"

Shi Chaoqing hesitated for a moment, but still said the original suggestion of Zhou Zhi.

Hearing this, Qiu Bai shook his head.

"The acting king is very wrong, the soldiers and horses of the Qin King in the military towns have an ambiguous attitude, and they are watching from the side, if they are regarded as a wall of flesh that consumes the rebels, how can they be restrained and wait to be killed?

The traitor in Qiu Bai's mouth naturally refers to Shi Chaoqing's brother Shi Chaoyi, and just from this point, he can see that Shi Chaoqing is indeed a person with little ability, although it is a bit too much to say that he is a fool, but it is not a person to let him take on such a heavy responsibility.

For example, when meeting Qiu Bai, according to ordinary people and common sense, at least ask about the origin of the teacher, and test the truth and reality. This Shi Chaoqing put on a heartfelt appearance when they met for the first time, and did some things to talk about in a simple way, although it was to express his attention, but it was a little too much.

Finding out Shi Chaoqing's thoughts, Qiu Bai also had a bottom in his heart, all the words he had prepared before didn't need to be said, and now he could go straight to the topic, and save time.

Suddenly, Zhang Yan seemed to remember something, and asked nervously:

"Dare to ask the acting king, where did Zhou Peng's officials go?"

This important detail was ignored, and Shi Chaoqing replied truthfully:

"Mr. Zhou is worried that Zhang Tongru will make trouble in the house, and now he has brought people to arrest him!"

Qiu Bai raised his eyebrows, of course he had heard of Zhang Tongru's reputation, An Lushan had this person in all the wars of his reign, Zhou Zhi was just a small palace official, how could he be Zhang Tongru's opponent?

Seeing Qiu Bai's expression change suddenly, Shi Chaoqing also realized something, and asked worriedly:

"Sir, do you think there's something wrong?"

At this time, Qiu Bai's heart was weighing the order of several things, Zhang Tongru's problem was indeed unexpected, but the top priority was to quickly transfer Feng Changqing's soldiers and horses into the city.

"Thanks to the wrong love of the acting king, I am willing to recommend a good general for the acting king today, so that he can defend the city!"

Qiu Bai's words can be said to have touched Shi Chaoqing's heart, for a period of time, he has been unable to sleep day and night, just because there is no capable general who can defend the city. Now that he learned that this "strange man" was going to introduce a general for himself to defend the city, of course he was excited and excited.

"Sir, where is this man now?"

This is also what he asked Zhang Yan before. Zhang Yan introduced Qiu Bai, but he didn't know who Qiu Bai would recommend?

"Under the account of General Zheng as Sima, I know General Zheng's talent the most, and it is more than enough to defend the city and retreat from the enemy!"

Shi Chaoqing didn't understand who General Zheng was in Qiu Bai's mouth for a while, and Zhang Yan reminded him in time:

"It's the * guard Zheng Jing!"

Zheng Jing's name, Shi Chaoqing had heard of it, but it was not the same as the generals he had seen, so he asked with some hesitation:

"Can General Zheng be among the soldiers and horses of King Qin outside the city today?"

"Back to the king's words, General Zheng is outside the North City Gate, and more than 1,000 soldiers and horses are gathered outside Fanyang City!"

Qiu Bai replied respectfully.

Shi Chaoqing stood up excitedly,

"Quick, quick, I'm going to see General Zheng now. No, I'm going to go outside the city to welcome General Zheng into the city in person!"

Seeing Shi Chaoqing's reaction, Qiu Bai almost couldn't hold back his laughter, this Shi Chaoqing only relied on the words of the person he met for the first time, and he trusted him like this, which is not the quality that a superior person should have.

However, Shi Chaoqing's reaction was what Qiu Bai needed, as long as he was willing to let Zheng Jing enter the city, then Feng Changqing's more than 1,000 people could all enter Fanyang City.

With Shi Chaoqing's character, he will definitely be used more heavily on Zheng Jingda, so it is equivalent to Feng Changqing stepping into the core of traitors in Fanyang City in one step. This result really exceeded expectations, and Jubber immediately said:

"The body of the king's daughter cannot be easily risked, after all, there are many soldiers outside the city, and in case of an accident, the consequences will be immeasurable. The acting king only needs to appoint Zhang Yan to go with him at dawn the next day!"

After a pause, Qiu Bai said again:

"The only thing I'm worried about is that Zhou Peng's arrest of Zhang Tongru has not yet yielded results......"

This time it can be regarded as talking about Shi Chaoqing's soft place, Zhou Zhi has been away from the Daiwang Mansion for nearly an hour, but the good news has not yet come.

"Now, send someone to inquire about the situation now, come on, come on......"

Soon, an assistant official entered the hall in response, and Shi Chaoqing almost immediately ordered the assistant to hurry up to find Zhou Zhi to inquire about the situation, no matter whether it was good or bad, he must return as soon as possible.

However, Shi Chaoqing's innocence has been spreading, so that he can no longer sit still.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan persuaded from the side:

"This is an extraordinary time, in order to prevent accidents and accidents, why don't the acting kings transfer General Zheng's soldiers and horses into the city, and they can be relied on as help!"

This reminded Shi Chaoqing, and Shi Chaoqing immediately slapped his thigh.

"Yes, yes, yes, now, transfer Zheng Jing's troops into the city now!"

So, Shi Chaoqing summoned the assistant again, ordered him to go with Zhang Yan, and opened the city gate overnight to transfer Zheng Jing's troops into the city. This order was risky, but Shi Chaoqing had absolute trust in Zhang Yan, so he naturally had absolute trust in Qiu Bai, and so on, and Zheng Jing recommended by Qiu Bai.

After all, Shi Chaoqing has no trusted generals by his side, and the generals who lead the troops in Fan Yang City are either his father or his brother's generals, and he has almost no descendants who can be used. And the guards owned by the acting king as a prisoner are all improvised patchwork, and they are not familiar with each other.

Now that Zheng Jing's appearance is really at the right time, Shi Chaoqing can't wait to meet this general Zheng Jing who can help him defend the city.

Zheng Jing was a * town general before, stationed at the northern gateway of Fanyang, and he has never been a mediocre talent, and it can even be said that he buried his general's talent, as long as this catastrophe survives safely, Shi Chaoqing secretly thought that he must be solemnly recommended to his father!
