Chapter 395: Purge
Chapter 395: Purge
If these words came out of Qi Lu's mouth, the bound Zhuge Hong would definitely spit on it, and then scold 'sanctimonious'...... But these words came out of the mouth of a young official dressed in official uniform, who looked serious and spoke seriously.
Zhou Ziqiu's scholarly appearance, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes seem to have a righteous and awe-inspiring scholarly style. As soon as he said this, Zhuge Hong's face turned red, but he found that he couldn't refute it.
He was unwilling, he felt that his son was at fault, but was it right for the sons of those powerful people in Beijing? is also at fault, his son died tragically in the end, but those sons and brothers are still glamorous and romantic. He felt that his son had died unjustly.
No matter how appeased the emperor was, he couldn't let him extinguish the anger in his heart.
After such a day after day, where can he still take care of his ancestors. All he thought about was that he had no son, and he also wanted to let those powerful people who were pampered in the capital taste the pain of losing their sons.
“…… My son died tragically, and it is only natural that I avenge my son. ”
Zhou Ziqiu was originally full of fear, because the look on Zhuge Hong's face at this time could really be called miserable.
Xu is the reason for being hidden for a long time, the momentum that belongs to the military general on Zhuge Hong's body has become more and more sharp, and being glanced at by him is enough for Zhou Ziqiu to tremble in fright.
If it weren't for Qi Lu by his side, Zhou Ziqiu would probably have to hug his head and run away.
But Zhuge Hong's words made Zhou Ziqiu uncontrollable again. "Your son died a tragic death, and your heart aches. But you let the northern mob into the customs. You can't hit the capital for a while. The northern mob is not your Zhuge family's own soldiers. Hit whoever you tell you to hit.
Ru Mao drinks blood, whose blood is it drinking?
It's from the people of my Great Wei. Are the tens of thousands of poor people your murderers?
When the sons of poor people are killed, who will they turn to for justice? Your Zhuge family has been loyal for several generations, so for that breath, because of you, you will let the surname Zhuge bear the crime of betrayal and treason. Zhuge Hong, you are confused. ”
Zhou Ziqiu said very happily, and the tone was subdued, so that Zhuge Hong's face turned white. I don't know if it was said by Zhou Ziqiu. Or tonight's big defeat to the thrill.
On the side, Qi Lu smiled and slapped his face. Zhou Ziqiu's stomach was full of righteousness, and it seemed to be punctured in an instant.
His whole body shriveled down instantly, and he looked at Qi Lu with a worried expression.
He was so carried away. He actually forgot about the master beside him. He's ...... The more you do.
The owner didn't say anything. He didn't care about it. "Second master. Subordinate, subordinate overstepped. Please forgive the second master. Zhou Ziqiu felt afraid at this time, and his thin body trembled. Shrink as much as possible, for fear that the 'great' figure just now would anger Qi Lu.
The scene is actually quite ridiculous.
Since Zhuge Hong was arrested, Qi Lu has never had the opportunity to intervene in Zhou Ziqiu's 'eloquent talk' except for opening his mouth to introduce it, but Qi Lu doesn't mind that his drama is robbed. In Qi Lu's opinion, Zhou Ziqiu's exit is much stronger than his sworn enemy.
If he speaks, even if what he says is right, Zhuge Hong will definitely not buy it. Maybe he will be angry, and he will step on his feet and scold him for 'bewitching the public'. But Zhou Ziqiu was different, and his righteous and awe-inspiring expression made him a little convinced.
“…… That's right. You're tired, too, so take a break. Qi Lu said softly.
Zhou Ziqiu nodded and moved aside. It's just that a pair of eyes still can't help but look at Zhuge Hong and Qi Lu.
It is really hard to say that there is a deep hatred between these two. He hadn't heard that Qi Lu had something to do with the death of Zhuge Gongzi. Zhou Ziqiu thought about the first two big, but he really couldn't figure out why this former Zhuge general came all the way to Yecheng.
And look at that look, that frame. If it weren't for Second Master Qi's insight into the opportunity, although Zhou Ziqiu didn't know how Qi Lu arranged it at this time. But things speak louder than words, although the Qi family and his party looked quite miserable, but in the end Zhuge Hong was defeated.
If it weren't for the prescient name of Second Master Qi, he would have been deployed long ago. At this time, he is afraid that he will really have to collect the body of Second Master Qi.
Zhou Ziqiu really didn't want to do this work.
"General Zhuge , you have a grudge because your only son was killed. Why can't you get along with me alone? Because I sabotaged the long-planned rebellion in the North? Qi Lu sneered and asked, for Zhuge Hong, he couldn't say disgust, but he felt bored, from the north to the south, from the capital to Yecheng.
traveled thousands of miles, just to kill him.
He Qi Lu himself didn't know when his life was so precious.
"Yes." The prince and the loser, at this time, there is nothing to hide. Zhuge Hong has all the questions to answer.
“…… Don't you think my actions in the North have helped you? If the northern mob really broke into the hinterland of Great Wei as you think, how many killings would they have to make. These are all because of you, but they must be recorded on your Zhuge Hong's head. I calmed the war and helped you accumulate virtue, you shouldn't be thankful, but why are you chasing each other, you have to take my life. Zhuge Hong, what do you mean by this? "This is really not a place for interrogation, nor is it an opportunity for interrogation, but Qi Lu doesn't care.
He knew that Xie Ke was waiting for him, and he also knew that Yecheng must have made some moves.
But he is not afraid, he believes in Xie Ke, he always believes in her, in this world, except for Xie Ke, no one can make him let go of his guard like this, and he believes it without reason. So he won't mess up and can't mess up.
“…… What is there to say, if it weren't for what you did in the North. Now the Great Wei is afraid that it has already changed the dynasty. What is loyalty? What is Filial Piety? All I know is that my only son died, and he died a terrible death. Without my son, what hope do I have for my Zhuge lineage?
Cut off children and grandchildren. What if I am loyal? A hundred years later, my Zhuge clan is still in ashes. It's better to give up your life. It's just that my life is not good, and I didn't calculate that all kinds of big things were in the hands of a merry man. Qi Lu, I really hate you very much.
Even if you die, I will pull you up. I, Zhuge Hong, have nothing. in this world. I have nothing to fear, but you're different.
You have a wife and a daughter, the favor of the emperor, and a fief.
I want you to die, I want you to have nothing. Zhuge Hong finished speaking with a sneer, his eyes were red and almost bloodshot, it was hatred.
Qi Lu looked at Zhuge Hong, and suddenly he was very happy.
is also destined to have no children in this life, but he lives a frank life and has a daughter. He was even more grateful. I feel that God treats him well. He thought that he was destined to have no children and no daughters in this life, and he would not let hatred eat his heart like Zhuge Hong.
It is childless. But in this life, I am living by myself.
Could it be these decades. Is it all wiped out because of the word childless? these decades. Can't you live for yourself? Thinking of this, Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Zhuge Hong......
“…… In fact, I am destined to have no children in my life. "It's getting dark. The eastern sky glowed a faint red, and in the thin morning mist, Qi Lu suddenly chuckled and spoke.
What the?
The surprise on Zhuge Hong's face was hard to describe in words.

When it was dawn, Xie Ke rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up straight. Yuhui came in with a curtain at this time. The warm water in the copper basin is steaming. "Young grandma, let's clean your face first."
Xie Ke nodded, and his brows were almost knotted when he got up.
She leaned on the low couch all night, woke up from her sleep, and did not know how many dreams she had in one night. The blood light in the dream scared her into tears in the dream, and when she woke up, she only felt that her eyes were astringent yesterday. "Isn't there any news from the second master?"
Yuhui nodded. "Not yet, but don't worry, young grandma, there is no one in this world who can win against the second master. Maybe it was delayed by last night's strong wind, and it will be back in a while. These comforting words were so empty that even Yuhui herself didn't believe it, but she didn't know what else they could do except wait. Last night, the young grandmother quietly captured Quan Sheng and the others, which is extremely rare.
If she was Yuhui, she must have capsized in the gutter, she really didn't expect Quan Sheng to collude with foreign enemies. And what he wanted was the life of Yecheng and the second master.
"I know that the second master and Ah Jin will return safely." Xie Ke said softly.
She thought, God wouldn't be so harsh on her, they broke through all the way to the north and south, and they also broke through the Longtan Tiger's Den in the capital, and they wouldn't let Qi Lu be defeated in this small Yecheng.
Zhuge Hong......
Qi Lu waits for work, Zhuge Hong must not be an opponent.
Xie Ke took the warm veil and slowly covered her face, under the veil, she blinked her eyes hard, blinking away the worry and astringency in her eyes. No matter what happens, she can't always fall, just like entering Beijing for the first time, even if Qi Lu loses faith at that time, she can't give up.
There are many truths in this world. But there is only one life, and Qi Lu will not bear to leave her and her daughter behind.
Gradually, there began to be movement in the courtyard, the mother-in-law got up to sprinkle water and sweep the dust, and the girls began to walk around under the porch. What happened last night, no one seems to know......
Compared to yesterday, the only thing that has changed in Qi Mansion is that there is one less person in the guest house. And that person, it doesn't matter.
After an hour, the nurse smiled and hugged Mingyue in. "Young grandma, Miss is clamoring for a hug in the morning." The nurse handed the little girl to Xie Ke's arms, Xiao Mingyue blinked her big round eyes, and then threw herself into Xie Ke's arms, the nurse looked at her with a smile on the side, and said that her daughter was the closest to her mother.
Yuhui watched from the sidelines, and tried to put a smile on her face.
Xie Ke coaxed her daughter to eat breakfast, put her daughter on the couch, and let her play by herself.
Xie Ke looked at her daughter, the little girl was getting more and more beautiful, at first glance, she looked like Qi Lu. The eyes, nose, and slap-sized face all looked like their fathers.
It is said that the birth of a daughter follows the father, and it is true.
At this time, the little girl suddenly raised her head and called 'mother' in a milky voice. Listening to the call, Xie Ke's heart softened. She smiled and spread her arms, and the little girl stood up and threw herself into Xie Ke's arms. Holding the soft and fragrant lump in his arms, Xie Ke slowly closed his eyes.
For the sake of this hard-won daughter, no matter what happens, she must be strong.
It wasn't until near noon that Yuhui opened the curtain with an eager face and a little joy. "Young grandma, Ah Jin is back." Yuhui almost cried happily, she and Cheng Jin had a deep relationship, they admired each other when they were in Xie's, and then came all the way to the capital, the two worked together, Cheng Jin usually handed over the accounts to her, and then she handed them over to her young grandmother. Sometimes the exchange of news between the master and the servant is also through her mouth.
Among the sisters, only she and Cheng Jin are familiar with each other's roots.
After getting married, it is needless to say that their young couple has a deep relationship. This time, it seems that Cheng Jin just didn't return overnight, but since getting married, this is the only time Cheng Gong hasn't returned home at night, and she is naturally worried.
Fortunately, Cheng Jin returned safely.
“…… Just come back. Is there any news of the second master? ”
"Yes, before noon last night, the second master and Zhou Ziqiu went out of the city, and before the second master left the city, he told Ah Jin that he must strictly guard the collapsed city wall, and the second master suspected that there must be something strange about this matter. Ah Jin stayed on guard until late at night, and was going to send someone back to report the news, but he found that several suspicious people appeared on the street. In the end, it was found that these people had scattered in all directions, and Ah Jin sent people to follow carefully, and found that these people had actually poisoned the well water.
The young grandmother also knows that there is no water in this Yecheng, and every well is a matter of human life.
If the water is polluted, the second master and the young grandmother will probably work in vain.
So Ah Jin scattered his hands and went around to intercept those who had poisoned them......
Ah Jin thought that this was the other party's trick, but he didn't expect that in the middle of the night, as expected by the second master, someone really touched in from the broken city wall.
Fortunately, the second master took precautions, and none of the dead and wounded of those people could break into the city.
Before returning home just now, Ah Jin received a message from the second master, saying that he had captured the mastermind, and he was rushing back at this time. In less than an hour, you will be able to return home. After Yuhui finished speaking in one breath, Xie Ke listened to it and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was in the inner house, and what she experienced last night was naturally not worth mentioning compared to Qi Lu and Cheng Jin.
In the dark night, the rogues are running around, and Cheng Jin wants to chase them to prevent them from poisoning the well, and he also has to strictly guard the bad parts of the city wall.
Qi Lu even confronted Zhuge Hong with his guards all the way, and finally captured him. This night, it can really be called a stormy sea...... "Boil some hot water, prepare some light food, and come back after a while, let them have a good rest." "Yuhui responded, went out to arrange.
Sure enough, for most of the hour, Xie Ke heard a commotion in the courtyard, and the next moment, the curtain was raised, revealing the young man's beautiful smile.
It's just that when Xie Ke saw it, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.
By the door, Qi Lu's smiling expression couldn't help but froze, and then he blinked his eyes and looked down. Then he looked annoyed.
He is so stupid, he ran and ran all night, and with the last fight, he naturally didn't look good. The robe he wore yesterday was black, and the hem was cut by a sword.
As for him......
Qi Lu carefully touched his face.
Seemingly, there were some minor injuries. Compared to those seriously injured guards, this small injury is naturally nothing. Just ......, "Sister Bao, I'll go wash up first, and I'll talk to you later." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xie Ke to respond, he turned around and was about to leave.
"...... Alu" (To be continued.) )
