Chapter 185: Showdown
Zhong Tianmao decided to give it a try, how bad can he be in this situation? Zuo is just that he really crippled his leg, and then died, so that his cronies took Zhong Lexin, and no one would investigate it deeply.
If you want to continue the fake death plan, you must first find a showdown between the tiger head and the big tiger.
After eating, Zhong Tianmao sent Zhong Ping and Zhong Lexin down. There were only three people left in the living room: Zhong Tianmao, Mo Twelve and Zhen Duoduo.
The three of them didn't speak, and the atmosphere should have been very condensed, but Zhen Duoduo didn't seem to feel this condensation at all when he sat on the chair.
Zhen Duoduo took an apple and took a bite of it, and the atmosphere of confrontation between the two parties disappeared, more like the three of them had a tea party.
Zhen Duoduo knew that rescuing Xue Junhan would alarm Zhong Tianmao, there was no conflict of interest between the two parties, there was no need to be tense and nervous, just spread the words out. "Old man, if you have something, just say it. ”
"You took the people away?" Zhong Tianmao was cunning in the end, and he didn't reveal his hole cards first, he left himself room to maneuver. Even if he wasn't the one the tiger head took away, he wouldn't expose anything.
Zhen Duoduo took another bite of the apple, "You said that the prince of Nanwang, well, I took it away, there is a debtor and a master, I don't think the old man wants to harm a life like this, so I will do a small favor, you don't have to be polite."
Really, it is said that when the little servant does something that suits the master's heart, there is a reward, or you can reward me with eight thousand taels. ”
The corners of Zhong Tianmao's mouth twitched, he could be sure that this tiger head was not a spy, he just didn't put the door on his mouth and left everything, whose master was so big-hearted, he dared to use this product as a spy, he was not afraid that he didn't hear the secret, but sold all his own affairs.
"What is the purpose of your coming to the Zhong Mansion?"
"You"
Zhong Tianmao's waist board kept going, and he grabbed the short sword in his sleeve.
Zhen Duoduo "clicked" and took another bite of the apple, Zhong Tianmao listened to this voice, and was inexplicably not so nervous.
Zhen Duoduo swallowed the apple in his mouth before he said, "You said that your general's mansion is the province of these three people, who is worthy of my trip?
Zhong Tianmao smiled bitterly and said, "I, Zhong Tianmao, am just a horse lover now, and I can't help anyone anymore, let alone have nothing for you to covet."
Zhen Duoduo waved his hand, "Old man, don't say that, you are still the one who stands tall with his fist and walks on his arm, but he can stabilize the country and expand the territory, isn't it?"
Zhen Duoduo's words made Zhong Tianmao say that he was not disabled. Is it necessary to keep it secretive at this time?
Zhong Tianmao was silent.
Zhen Duoduo smiled and said, "Old man, I don't go around in circles with you, I just want you to be a gentleman who teaches the boys the art of war, if you don't dislike my family's simplicity, I can also give you and your grandson a place to stay." ”
"You're thinking too simply, since you've seen things in the tunnel, you should know that I can only die, otherwise people outside won't let me go, how can you protect me and Le Xin?"
"What if you weren't you, and Zhong Lexin wasn't Zhong Lexin anymore?"
Zhong Tianmao raised his head suddenly, "This ......"
"You're right, that's what I mean, if I'm not mistaken, the man who hurt him at the time left him alive in order to make him a hindrance to you.
And the exaggerated scars on his face are so that he can't melt into the sea of people, and he carries a sign that can be easily tracked wherever he goes. "Love me
Zhong Tianmao nodded fiercely.
Zhen Duoduo didn't continue, "Old Man Zhong, I've always been saying it, it's time for you to show some sincerity." ”
Zhong Tianmao said to a mechanism in the room, "Meng Fei, let the brothers put away all the crossbow arrows." ”
Mo Twelve touched the armor on his body, the next time he begged the little master to create a full-body armor, he hadn't married yet, if the lower half of his body was pierced like a hedgehog, it would be too bad.
"Crunch, crunch......" The floor tiles actually opened a hole, and the big man who flew out walked out.
He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "The crossbow arrows are all put away, but the brethren are not worried about the safety of the general, let me come and protect you, I will watch, I will not speak." ”
Mo Twelve was a little embarrassed, he boasted that he could barely be regarded as a first-class master. At this time, he found that his strength was not enough at all, and the innate masters were all like cabbages, and they were popping up in piles.
The feeling that the big man in front of him gave him was also at the level of an innate master, otherwise, he would not have brought him huge pressure just by his momentum.
Since the two sides met each other frankly, Zhen Duoduo asked straightforwardly, "What happened on the battlefield in Nanling?"
Zhong Tianmao was silent and obviously didn't want to say anything, Meng Fei said, "There is nothing to hide from others, the result is there, everyone can see it, if you don't say the hidden secret, it's like a general, you are a wine bag and rice bag, which led to the defeat of the Battle of Nanling." ”
Zhong Tianmao pondered for a while before he spoke: "Empress Yao Yuewan of Ming Qin urgently summoned Mo Ning, the guard of Yannan Valley, back to Beijing.
At this moment, the Jin Ling Dynasty suddenly launched an attack on Nanling under the pretext that I had killed their prince Jin Hongye.
At the critical juncture, the generals under Xue Chengqi, the king of the south, abandoned the defensive line, causing our Tianshi army to enter the encirclement, and there were no reinforcements behind.
After that, the Jinling Dynasty outnumbered our forces ten times and quickly bulldozed Nanling. ”
Zhen Duoduo frowned and asked, "How did General Zhong save his life while surrounded by the army?"
This question is very sharp, but Zhen Duoduo must ask.
Zhong Tianmao was silent for a long time, and then said, "At the last moment, the military advisor knocked me out and handed me over to the masters of Bai Xiaotang, and my two sons pretended to be me and broke through in two directions, attracting the attention of the army of the Jinling Dynasty, so as to open the way for Bai Xiaotang's people, but they all... I died in battle, and I survived. ”
Zhen Duoduo also fell silent, this is too tragic.
Zhong Tianmao said self-deprecatingly, "So until the last moment, I can't give up this life, I have to live on behalf of my sons, otherwise I would have freed myself a long time ago, and no one would have paid attention to my little grandson anymore." ”
Zhen Duoduo knew that Zhong Tianmao didn't need other people's comfort and sympathy, "I promise that if anything happens, I will definitely keep Zhong Lexin's safety." ”
Zhong Tianmao stood up and solemnly saluted Zhen Duoduo, "The old man thanked Xiaoyou first, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." I know that there is no end to what I say."
Zhen Duoduo was not polite either, she did have questions about the battle of Nanling, "Even if Mo Ning has returned to Beijing, but the strength of Yannan Valley is still there, since it is an offensive and defensive alliance, why is the Tianshi Army in trouble, but they ignore it?"
"Empress Yao Yuewan has long been suspicious because my general is stationed in the fiefdom of the Southern King, because Mo Ning took away the Tiger Talisman, and the Empress Yao's prison army rejected our request for help on the grounds that there is no Tiger Talisman and cannot mobilize the three armies.
Moreover, after the Nanwang's people retreated, they were stationed at the border of Nanling, and the Tianyi Army did not dare to act rashly for fear of a sudden attack by the Nanwang's army. ”
