288 Portraits that shouldn't exist
Zhu Shang looked at Li Deming, who was angry, and a little disdain rose in his heart.
Although he despised the actions of Li Deming and his father earlier, and hated their inconsistent words and deeds, duplicity, and unscrupulous means, he still thought that they were wise and resourceful people, and this time Li Deming would do such a stupid thing as imprisoning him, which he did not expect.
First, if the news of his imprisonment is reported back to Bianjing, the DPRK and China will definitely have opinions on Xiping Mansion and will become more and more vigilant against Xiping Mansion. Although there may not be generals who are gearing up to drive horses to beat the Western Xia, there will definitely be Wenchen who works hard to write and condemn Li Deming;
Second, imprisoning him is actually something he can't ask for.
Staying here makes it easier for him to do things.
That's why he didn't put up any resistance last night.
Otherwise, with the hands in Li Deming's mansion, he would definitely not be able to move a single hair of his hair.
Although Zhu Shang has not practiced martial arts for a long time, his self-confidence is still retained when his martial arts were at their strongest many years ago.
Many times, many things, although he knows that he is not the first, but the breath in his body wants to tell others that he is the strongest in this aspect.
In the past few months, he has tried to enter Li Deming's study many times in order to find some evidence of Li Deming's alliance with Liao, but he cannot sneak in because of the tight guards.
The more Li Deming attaches importance to this place, and the more closely he guards this place, the more he is sure that there will be something he wants here.
Li Deming's study is in a courtyard guarded by layers in the front yard, which looks inconspicuous, but there are more than 20 guards with strong martial arts to guard it all day.
Last night, because Li Deming continued to increase the number of people to find Hu Ling, a team of guards who were originally going to come to the study to change shifts were transferred to look for people, and the guards who had been standing outside the study all day and could have rested needed to stand all night again.
In the second half of the night, the guards were very tired, and their precautions were much more relaxed than usual.
Zhu Shang waited in the dark, and after finding the opportunity, he climbed over the wall into the courtyard like a black shadow, and quickly walked towards the study against the wall.
There was a lock on the door of the study, and Zhu Shang opened the door while watching the surroundings open the lock, and it only took two breaths to open the door.
He gently pushed the door open and leaned sideways in.
At night, the sky is cloudless, and the moonlight can see through the furnishings.
On the left hand side of the door was a large bookcase with some blank paper on it, and a bookshelf on the right side of the bookcase full of books.
Zhu Shang went to the bookshelf, took a quick look, and found that it was mainly a book on studying marches and wars, as well as a copy of the Tao Te Ching.
He crouched down again and looked at the white paper on the bookcase, and when he turned to the twelfth sheet, he noticed that the hand felt different, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a portrait.
He took out the portrait and held it up, and by the moonlight, he could see the person on the portrait clearly.
In an instant, Zhu Shang's face became extremely ugly, and his mood, which was originally as quiet as moonlight, suddenly became angry, and his eyes that had always squinted opened and looked at the painting, and his deep eyes seemed to be on fire.
He has seen Li Deming's characters and Li Deming's paintings, so he is very sure that the portrait in his hand must be from Li Deming's hand.
However, the person in this painting is actually Hu Ling!
The painting, sketched only with black lines, is not framed, and the edges of the paper are frayed, apparently often being held and viewed.
He had never been so angry that anyone would dare to hit his woman's idea!
Li Deming dared to beat Hu Ling's idea!
At this moment, he was both angry and sober.
The moment I saw that the person on the painting was Hu Ling, a bright light passed through my mind.
Earlier, Li Deming said that he could agree to his request, but he needed to exchange Hu Ling.
He originally thought that Li Deming wanted to use Hu Ling to coerce him because he had seen through Hu Ling's identity, but he didn't expect that he had other thoughts about Hu Ling.
No wonder Li Deming went to search for Hu Ling immediately after imprisoning him!
Zhu Shang put the painting back in its place, making sure that the white paper on it was still eleven, and the fire in his eyes became more and more fierce.
He clenched his fists, got up and began to look for the switch to the secret room.
The interior of the house is simply furnished, and it didn't take long to find a switch to open the secret room in a vase.
He put his hand into the vase and twisted it slightly, and the wall next to it slowly opened.
As soon as Zhu Shang withdrew his hand and was about to go in, he heard a very light footsteps approaching outside.
His face changed slightly, and he quickly entered the secret room, leaving only a gap to look out, only to see a man in the guard's uniform walk in.
This person held a dagger in his hand, vigilantly observing the study, every step and every movement made it impossible to find a chance to sneak attack.
Zhu Shang looked at this person's form very familiarly, and when this person walked to the door of the secret room, he suddenly remembered that this person was the secret guard who promised to arrange for Hu Ling.
At the same time that he recognized Dali, Dali also walked to the front of the secret room, and through a gap, the eyes of the two met together.
Zhu Shang saw a ruthlessness in Dali's eyes, he subconsciously stepped back, and sure enough, after he took half a step back, a dagger stabbed straight through the gap.
Then he vigorously opened the door of the secret room and kicked towards Zhu Shang at the same time.
Zhu Shang blocked the kick with his arm, and said angrily in a low voice: "Vigorous!"
Dali heard that it was Zhu Shang's voice, hurriedly put away the dagger that was almost to Zhu Shang's neck, and then knelt down on one knee: "Sir, Dali thought it was Li Deming in the room." The two quickly confirmed each other's identities with their voices and figures.
It was very dark in the secret room, and when I saw the eyes in the gap by the moonlight just now, Dali's first reaction was to take down this person, but he didn't recognize it as his own husband.
As a secret guard, there is an iron motto that "for the unknown and uncertain, you must first control it".
Therefore, Dali's behavior just now was the right choice, even if he almost hurt Zhu Shang, he didn't have to apologize, this was a long-standing rule.
It's just that Mr. has been squinting all year round, why did his eyes open so wide just now, and he was still angry?
There was a moment of doubt in Dali's heart.
Today was the first time in so many years that he had seen his eyes open, and if he had squinted as before, he would have recognized him.
"What are you doing here?" asked Zhu Shang as he turned to find the documents from the secret room.
"It was Hu Sanniang who asked the little one to come, and she asked me to wait for you here, sir, but I didn't expect you to arrive much earlier than me. After vigorously answering Zhu Shang's question, he stood up and went to the secret room to guard.
The two have been together for many years, and this is a tacit understanding that has long existed.
When Zhu Shang heard that the vigorous was arranged by Hu Ling, a satisfied and smug smile appeared on his face.
She looked heartless day by day, as if she didn't know anything, as if she wasn't afraid of anything, but she knew everything he was thinking.
She must have noticed that Li Deming had sent many people out to search, and knew that the guards in the mansion would be laxer than usual, and concluded that he would definitely find an opportunity to come to the study, so she thoughtfully sent him a helper.
Although this helper had just tried to plunge the dagger into his throat twice.
In the secret room, Zhu Shang quickly found two important letters, took out the originals, and copied the same and put them back in their original places.
After coming out of the secret room, he handed the letter to Dali and said, "You take these things out and give them to Hu Ling, she knows how to dispose of them." ”
His Hu Ling is a person who can lead the army to fight, for her, hiding in the Xiping Mansion, which is already very familiar, is as simple as riding a horse, Li Deming has no possibility of finding her, so he is not in a hurry to go out to join her.
He put the letter paper into his arms, and then said, "Sir, Nagao has pretended to be a guard of Xiping Mansion, guarding outside the room where you are imprisoned, and will cover you to enter." ”
Zhu Shang nodded.
The two of them came out of the study, without any superfluous words or movements, and immediately went their separate ways.
Zhu Shang successfully returned to the imprisoned house under the cover of Changwei, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a basket of fruits, and all the things he washed were neatly placed.
He couldn't help laughing, this kid with the long tail, the whiskers and the ass were filmed here, but this guy was the most sympathetic to him.
