Chapter 460: The Way of Life
The firelight reflected on Zhuoge's face, and it was clearly extinguished.
In the middle of the light and half in the dark, Ouyang Kang kept quietly staring at his face. The expression was fearful, uneasy and slightly timid, but there was a calculating cunning hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Sir said that wealth and power are always temptations that the world cannot get rid of. The more ambitious a person is, the easier it is to be fooled sometimes. Especially when Zhuo Ge fell to this step, even if he knew that there was only a one percent chance, he would not be willing to let it go.
The treasure of the previous dynasty, a scam that is not new, but because of this confusion, it is particularly difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Looking at Zhuoge's expression, there was some inexplicable excitement and some disbelief.
He was swaying and hesitating, but Ouyang Kang felt that he would be fooled sooner or later.
Ouyang Kang didn't want to die.
He wanted to go back to the capital, and he didn't want his Nianfu, grandmother, and husband to feel sorry for him. He had to see them well, or he wouldn't be at ease.
Especially Mr., when he thought of Su Cheng, Ouyang Kang's heart hurt and his eyes were hot again. Zhong Shan's appearance had already made him vaguely guess that Mr. was most likely affected by the dealer, or more importantly, his own involvement, to suffer this catastrophe.
He was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly back with his wings!
But he had to wait, waiting for Zhuoge to make a decision.
After a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, "Okay! If you go out and kill Gongsun Hong now, I will believe you once. β
Ouyang Kang's heart sank, but his face was very sincere, and he still had an undried nosebleed and told him, "Since I have chosen the second prince." According to the rules, you should submit your name, but Gongsun Hong really can't be killed. Please think about it, if even he dies and I go back unharmed, will the emperor believe me? Wouldn't he suspect that there was some collusion between you and me? Besides, the Gongsun family is extremely powerful in the army, if he can be ambushed, how much help will it give the second prince a great cause in the future? β
Zhuo Ge's pupils shrank suddenly, "Do you have a way to move him?" β
Of course, he knew that if he could subdue Gongsun Hong. How beneficial it will be for itself. The man had a stubborn temper. is witty and brave, is there any way to make him truly surrender?
Ouyang Kang said, "It's actually very simple. If you ask him to write a letter, he will not dare to betray you in his life. Maybe you steppe people don't believe it. But our girders pay the most attention to black and white. Landing as a basis. If he doesn't obey one day. You take this and hand it over to the emperor, it is enough for him to raid his family and exterminate his family. I can help you with the draft. β
Zhuo Ge's eyes narrowed, and his smile was a little sinister. "So you're going to come and see?"
Ouyang Kang held the branch in his hand, thought for a while, and quickly wrote a letter on the ground.
Zorg read through it three times from beginning to end, and there was nothing to fault with it. No matter who is in the Great Liang Dynasty, if he still writes a letter like this to him, it will definitely be a crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
After drawing a few branches and modifying them slightly, Zhuo Ge looked at Ouyang Kang with a smile, "Otherwise, you can write me a copy first." β
Ouyang Kang's face turned pale, as if he couldn't believe it, Zhuo Ge stared at his eyes, and spit out two words with a slight smugness, "Use blood." β
Ouyang Kang's eyes flickered, and he struggled for a long time, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and tore the sleeve of his white underwear, and wrote a letter with a nosebleed. After handing it over to Zhuoge, his expression was obviously different. With a mixture of flattery and fear, Zhuo Ge was very satisfied.
"Bring Gongsun Hong in."
When Gongsun Hong came in and saw the letter on the ground, he was furious. Although his hands were tied, he still raised his feet angrily and kicked at Ouyang Kang, "You actually hurt me like this?" β
The tip of his toe happened to touch Ouyang Kanggang's nose that had just been hit hard, and blood flowed again. It was pitiful and terrible.
Ouyang Kang covered his nose and looked at him with a wry smile, "Ants are still stealing, let alone people?" If General Gongsun is not afraid of death, he can not write. But I still want to go home, get married, have children, and serve my grandmother. If you die, at most you can earn a false name, what's the point? β
He didn't persuade a word, but he was extremely touching.
Zhuo Ge saw Gongsun Hong's eyes glaring, entangled again and again, and finally knelt down on one knee and said, "Do you want blood?" Untie, I write! β
Zhuo Ge smiled with satisfaction, but ordered someone to find a pen and paper for him.
"It's all blood, and that's going to make people suspicious. General Gongsun, you can copy a copy. β
When Gongsun Hong finished writing, his whole body sat on the ground as if he was prostrating, and Zhuo Ge was even more satisfied.
After the stick was beaten, he was about to open his mouth to give a few sweet dates, when he suddenly heard Ouyang Kang say, "What are those soldiers going to do outside?" There are so many people, it's hard to guarantee that the news won't leak out, orβ" he gestured with a knife and his eyes were grim, "and then he will say that if he encounters a wolf pack, he will all die in battle." Gongsun Hong escorted me to break through the siege, and fortunately I was rescued by the second prince, which is reasonable. β
"You're still not human, aren't you?" When Gongsun Hong wrote the letter, his hands were loosely tied, but his feet were tied. But Rao was like this, and he climbed up to Ouyang Kang in three or two clicks, dragged him and beat him.
Zogg watched them fight and scuffle together, evoking a smile. But when Gongsun Hong still wanted to fight, he lowered his tone coldly, "Ouyang Kang is right. What, General Gongsun, are you reluctant? β
Gongsun Hong is like a big goose who suddenly pinched someone's neck, with his mouth open, unable to speak.
Zhuo Ge coldly threw a knife in front of him, "Go, kill them, or I'll kill you." β
Gongsun Hong's eyes changed, obviously extremely painful, but he finally picked up the knife and crawled out of the cave.
But Zhuo Ge suddenly stopped him again, "Forget it, bring all these people back to be coolies, Gongsun Hong, as long as you serve me well, I will leave them a way to live." β
He already had a handwritten letter from the two of them, and their letters of submission were actually handed over. No matter when Emperor Daliang turns over this account, it is a dead end.
If Gongsun Hong is forced to kill his brothers, he is afraid that he will plant a seed of hatred in his heart, but it is better to do a favor and spare their lives, which will make Gongsun Hong even more scruples.
But I didn't expect Ouyang Kang to be ruthless, only he was so greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he knocked and knocked from time to time in the future, he was not afraid that he would be disobedient.
It's just that I have to think of a way to make the contradiction between him and Gongsun Hong deeper, so that it will be easy to check and balance in the future.
The calculation has been decided, Zhuo Ge said, "Ouyang Kang's idea is good, but it needs to be changed slightly. Let's just say that you met robbers on the road, and then all the army was destroyed. In order to make the emperor trust, the two adults have to be wronged. β
He looked at Gongsun Hong, who was still carrying a knife, with a sneer, and said, "You go and cut Ouyang Kang a few times, and then let him cut you a few times, don't be too serious, just hurt the point." β
Gongsun Hong glanced at Ouyang Kang coldly, "If you want to hurt him, you don't need a knife." β
Because he was still tied, he was half a body shorter than Ouyang Kang, but when a punch hit his right knee, Ouyang Kang screamed and rolled to the ground.
Zhuo Ge is also a practitioner, and immediately heard the sound of Ouyang Kang's bone injury Gaba, thinking that he was dislocated. This kind of injury is not as troublesome as breaking tendons and bones, but it takes a month to recover. The key is that the dislocated bones are very easy to form inertia, and it is a part like the knee, it seems that Gongsun Hong hated Ouyang Kang for proposing to kill his brother.
When Ouyang Kang fought back, he naturally would not show mercy, although he was a weak scholar, he was a man in the end, a knife slashed from Gongsun Hong's right shoulder, straight into the waist, and the bones were almost visible.
Looking at Gongsun Hong's face full of resentment, Zhuo Ge knew that the two of them had already been married, and he didn't have to be suspicious anymore.
even asked Ouyang Kang to boil porridge again and share food with Gongsun Hong's brothers, so that he could sleep with peace of mind.
Listening to the shallow sound of snoring, Ouyang Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
Holding his injured right knee with difficulty, he moved slightly to a slightly more comfortable place. But even so, the right knee, which was already high and swollen, still hurt him in a cold sweat.
Quietly, a small vial of wound medicine was thrown into his arms without mistake.
Ouyang Kang raised his eyes, and looked at Shanggong Sun Hong with a little apology and gratitude.
If it weren't for him today, it's hard to say whether he and those brothers would have been able to save their lives.
Ouyang Dashao didn't appreciate it, but glared at him fiercely.
Don't you think you're dying fast enough? To be so noticeable? Immediately throwing the medicine into the small gap behind the cave, Ouyang Kang knew that the longer he was injured, the more realistic the effect of the play became.
But his grandfather's pain is so good!
Ouyang Kang gritted his teeth and told himself, go to sleep, it won't hurt when you fall asleep.
When he returned, he asked his daughter-in-law to stew him more bone broth to make up for it. The daughter-in-law's corn and carrot soup is stewed well, sweet and moist, red, yellow and yellow, and the color is beautiful, he can drink three bowls in one go......
His grandfather's! I also made it, in the middle of the night, what do you want to eat?
The more he thought about it, the hungrier he became, and he couldn't sleep.
The next day. Zhuo Ge, who was better injured, led the team to the capital of Daliang.
But everyone can go, but only one person must not go, and that is Zhongshan. He is a death row prisoner, how can he return to the capital?
Zhuo Ge assigned him a task to escort Gongsun Hong's men to his secret base with Thorpe and a few other henchmen.
Before parting, he called Zhong Shan over and secretly told him a few words.
Zhong Shan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he walked away with his head down.
Then, Thorpe looked empty and asked with concern, "What the hell is wrong?" If it's troublesome, tell me about it, and I'll help you figure it out. β
He still has a certain brotherhood with Zhuang Ke, and he has always been sad that Zhuo Ge let Zhuang Ke die in the capital. Although this is Zhuang Ke's own willingness, Thorpe always feels that being a brother should not be like this. After meeting Zhong Shan, he has always been quite protective of him.
Zhong Shan said, "Are you really willing to help me?" β
"Of course, we-" Thorpe's "is a brother" Before he could say it, Zhong Shan stabbed him in the right abdomen.
Zhong Shan raised his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm sorry." Wait until hell, I'll pay you back. β
(There will continue to be three more today~~~) (To be continued......)
