Chapter Twenty-Five: Everything Depends on Deception
Because Bao Fu has a military position, he got up to say goodbye after having dinner with Zhao Liang and others, and prepared to rush back to the guard station to order. Before leaving, Baofu did not forget to tell Shen Changlie to take good care, and if there was any need, he would send someone to send it. In addition, Bao Fu told Zhao Liang that the 1,000 heavy armored troops under his command were stationed at the west gate of Haojing, not far from here, and as long as Zhao Liang gave an order, he could come to serve at any time.
Zhao Liang felt more and more that this fat general seemed to be a wreck, but in fact, he valued love and righteousness, and was a friend worth making. So he agreed, saying that he would definitely go to Baofu for help if he had something.
After Baofu left, only Zhao Liang, Wang Xiaosi, Xuan Li and Shen Changlie were left in the room. Since Shen Changlie came in, he hasn't given Wang Xiaosi any good looks, and he keeps calling him to drink, serving tea and pouring water, and scolding him from time to time. Wang Xiaosi knew that Shen Changlie was not small, and he didn't want to make a branch at this time, so he had to swallow his anger and let him bully, looking quite pitiful. Looking at the excitement happily, he suddenly whispered to Zhao Liang next to him: "Sister Ni, it seems that this kid Shen Changlie is also interesting to you." ”
Zhao Liang frowned when he heard this: "What nonsense! Where do you see that he's interested in me? ”
"Tsk, you still don't believe me?" Qi Li smiled: "Look at the way he gritted his teeth at that male pet Xiaosi, it is obvious that he is jealous." ”
Zhao Liang sneered, and then asked curiously, "What about you?" Aren't you jealous? ”
Su Li shook his head and said casually: "I'm not jealous." As soon as I am willing to gamble and lose, I will know enough to be able to protect Ni Mei in this life, and I have no other thoughts. Second, if men can have wives and concubines, why can't women? ”
"Hey, I can't see it, your thinking is quite advanced." Zhao Liang quipped: "Could it be that you also want to be my male pet like Wang Xiaosi?" ”
I don't know if it's because the other party guessed his mind, but after listening to Zhao Liang's words, he couldn't help laughing.
Shen Changlie, who was sitting opposite, was scolding Wang Xiaosi, but suddenly saw Zhao Liang and Su Li getting together and whispering, talking and laughing, and couldn't help but be slightly angry: "What are you muttering?" ”
"Nothing." Leaving smiled: "I'm discussing the matter of men and women with Ni Mei." ”
Zhao Liang saw Shen Changlie's appearance when he heard that he was going to be angry, and hurriedly played a round: "Don't listen to the nonsense. Just now he was reminiscing to me about the troubles of Rich on the Demon King Ridge, and you don't know it. ”
At this time, Wang Xiaosi was also annoyed enough by Shen Changlie, and interjected: "General, it's not too early, I think let's go to bed early." "He originally wanted to separate both Su Li and Shen Changlie, and then go with Zhao Liang to visit Zheng Luya at night. But he didn't expect Shen Changlie to hear the word "sleep", and his heart became even more angry, he slapped the table and said angrily: "What are you sleeping?!" It's your turn to call the shots for the general! ”
"Hey, I said Shen Changlie, don't kick your nose in the face!" Wang Xiaosi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said not to be outdone: "Lao Tzu has endured you all night, what a cheap man, speak politely!" ”
Shen Changlie is the son of a dignified family, how can he be angry with men, seeing that Wang Xiaosi dares to stab himself, he will turn his face and beat people. The man next to him was quick to move, held him down, and said, "Prince Changlie, you should be restrained, don't damage the general's face!" ”
"That's it, it depends on the owner to beat the dog," Wang Xiaosi had already seen that Shen Changlie liked Zheng Ni, so he deliberately pasted it on Zhao Liang, and said with a delicate anger: "People are the meat of the general's heart." ”
Zhao Liang pushed away Wang Xiaosi's head crookedly, and said depressedly: "Okay, okay, you two stop messing around." It's an eventful time now, everyone has their own troubles, and there's no reason to turn around in the nest first. He paused and said nonsense: "You don't know, Xiao Si is nominally my male favorite to the outside world, but in fact, he is a powerful general in the border army. He came to Hokyo with me on another secret mission, so he had to disguise himself as a lowly person to make things easier. There is no innocent relationship between me and him, and there is nothing male or female. ”
When Shen Changlie heard him say this, his uncomfortable mood was immediately relieved by half, and he said to Wang Xiaosi embarrassedly: "I don't know the identity of the general, but Changlie has offended." ”
Wang Xiaosi immediately understood Zhao Liang's intentions, and got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Hey, it's okay to do something." I originally planned to keep the humiliation and conceal it, but I didn't expect the general to make it clear instead, which shows her trust in the two. ”
This was a slap in the face, and Shen Changlie, who was filmed, was very useful, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy. Su Li was not as innocent as him, and asked curiously: "I don't know what secret mission the little four brothers are taught, can you say it and let Ji do his best?" ”
Zhao Liang had already prepared his words and said: "I won't tell you anything, when I was serving the country in Western Xinjiang, I met a girl of the Yi tribe, who once saved my life on the battlefield, so we married Jinlan and became good sisters. Some time ago, this girl was framed by an adulterer and was arrested by the imperial court as a spy and returned to Hojing. I came back this time to take the opportunity to save her, so I specially arranged for Xiaosi to disguise herself and act secretly. ”
Wang Xiaosi hurriedly excused himself: "I have inquired clearly a few days ago, she is now locked in a cell in the palace, waiting for the general to come back and make a decision." ”
Shen Changlie said loudly: "Since this is the case, then it is my duty to help the general rescue his sisters." ”
"Are you still half a prisoner, and you still save others?" I couldn't help but tease. This Demon King Ridge Dazhai Lord is not so easy to deceive, and still wonders: "If you are framed by someone, and you are just an ordinary character, with the face of Ni Mei, the general of the army, can't you directly explain to the king and release people?" ”
Zhao Liang scolded secretly in his heart: Damn, the thief is the thief, and the real Nima is not easy to fool.
When he was worried about using one lie to make up for another lie, Wang Xiaosi said in a big fool: "Hey, if only things were as simple as you said!" You don't use your brain to think about it, can an ordinary woman bow to a general? Can a normal character save a general on the battlefield? You think about it yourself, what the hell is going on? ”
Su Li was stunned by him, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he hesitated: "You mean to say that this Yi girl has an extremely special identity?" Don't...... Could it be the princess of Inurong? ”
"Hey, smart! He is worthy of being the world-famous Mr. Divorce! Wang Xiaosi slapped his thigh and exclaimed. He is very clever in this trick, and the lie must be led to the other party, so that there is no need to defend too much.
Sure enough, Su Li was taken directly into the ditch by Wang Xiaosi, and Wu Zi analyzed: "Now I understand!" The princess of the Yi tribe and the general of the Zhou Dynasty sympathized with each other and became sisters of the opposite sex, which was difficult for both sides to accept. Ni Mei couldn't easily reveal the reason to the Son of Heaven because she was worried that she would be caught by the political enemies of the DPRK and China, and she would be charged with connecting with foreign countries for no reason. So in this way, you can't talk about it explicitly, you can only save it secretly, right? ”
Zhao Liang nodded vaguely, thinking: This is all what you thought about yourself, I didn't say anything.
Shen Changlie said on the side: "If that's the case, then the general can't come forward." Mr. Leave, let's find a way to share our worries. ”
Divorce nodded: "That's nature." Su is Ni Mei's dead soldier, and his life has long been handed over to the master, who will do the errand of robbing the prison and saving people? Besides, not to brag, none of you here have as much experience as I do in this area. ”
Wang Xiaosi hurriedly said: "It's not that step yet. I waited for the general to come back, just to use her identity to meet and contact my sister in the prison first, and then rescue her after everything was settled. So ......"
"So you two hurry up and give me a good rest now," Zhao Liang said, "I'll make plans when I come back from prison!" ”
"Fourth brother, does Director Tu have any new instructions?" Zhao Liang asked as he walked.
Wang Xiaosi said with a bitter face: "Yes." Lao Tu said, no matter how fucking the ink, I'm going to notify the Ministry of Discipline to come and eradicate us. ”
Zhao Liang's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I'll go, how can I say that this is also the first time that the Xianqin Department has carried out a mission, where can it be smooth?" Isn't it trying to force people to death if they have to enforce military discipline at every turn? ”
"You don't know," Wang Xiaosi explained, "The slaughter department told me that the signs of interference with the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty by the illegal traveler are becoming more and more obvious, and we have not made any progress for a long time, and this situation has alarmed the high-level of the anti-penetration bureau." Now a deputy director has come to the town in person to supervise the handling of cases, so there is a lot of pressure on his side. ”
Zhao Liang shook his head helplessly: "Alas, until now, I haven't figured out a way to make King Zhou You arrested, what should I do?" ”
Wang Xiaosi enlightened him and said: "Don't be in a hurry, let's talk to Xiaoya first and then watch." Now it's not just a matter of catching King Zhou You, but also rescuing Zheng Luya at the same time to complete the task. Well, when we get to the place, there is a cell in front of us. ”
When Zhao Liang heard this, he raised his eyes and looked, only to see a semi-underground building made of stone not far in front of him, which looked gloomy in the dark night. There is only a small doorway in the building, and there is a stone carved lampshade on each side of the doorway, and the wind lamp is placed in the lampshade. Four or five palace guards stood in front of the door with Changge in their hands, with solemn expressions.
Seeing someone approaching, the officer led by the leader shouted, "Who is coming? ”
"It's me, Zheng Ni." Zhao Liang deliberately put his tone very relaxed, and said as he walked.
As soon as the officer heard that it was Zheng Ni coming, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted respectfully: "I don't know if the general has arrived, and I ask the general for forgiveness for the offense." ”
Zhao Liang smiled and said that it didn't matter, but he stopped at his feet and walked straight to the door of the dungeon. The officer was surprised for a moment, and immediately followed Wang Xiaosi and followed Zhao Liang to the small door.
The officer cautiously asked, "General, it's getting late, I don't know what you're doing here?" ”
Zhao Liang didn't answer and asked: "Who are you locked up here?" ”
"Back to the general, the main thing here is to imprison the convicted ministers of the court." The officer introduced: "In addition, there are some people who offend the great king's authority, such as handmaidens, handymen, musicians, warlocks, or Praetorian Guards, anyway. ”
"I heard that when I wasn't there a while ago, I also caught a female spy?" Zhao Liang asked casually.
The officer looked at Wang Xiaosi vigilantly, and didn't dare to hide it: "Yes, general, there is indeed a strange woman who entered the palace to assassinate." ”
Zhao Liang nodded: "Oh, open the prison door, I will interrogate it myself." ”
The officer was quite embarrassed: "This ...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”
"What's the matter? Old lady general, it's not easy to speak here with you? ”
"No, no, no, there is absolutely no such meaning in lowly office." The officer said with sincere fear: "Don't hide it from the general, less than half an hour ago, the king suddenly sent someone to take away the female assassin, saying that he wanted to interrogate him personally. ”
