Chapter 488: Life and Death

Feathered arrows flew in the air.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was hysterical and furious, sent out a fire, tested some people, and also made arrangements to deal with it.

Many generals dispersed, unable to go back, preparing to change their guards overnight.

But there was one person who was left behind by Ma Long, that is, Liu Minzi, who was about to change to the east gate.

Ma Long left Liu Minzi, and naturally explained: "Minzi, the twenty-second day is the day after tomorrow, and you must pay more attention at night." ”

Liu Minzi is really an honest man, even if he is murderous now, he is still an honest man, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, is it true that the Song people are really going to attack the east gate on the night of the twenty-second day?" ”

Ma Long was extremely convinced, but said, "I hope nothing happened that night. ”

Ma Long's words spoke with a sense of melancholy, he seemed to have really seen through everything, and only needed a real corroboration.

Maybe Gan Qi was really seen through by Ma Long.

On the night of the twenty-second day, in the east of Luanzhou City, accompanied by the moonlight, if you look closely, there are really a lot of people between the shadows and shadows.

The patrols at the head of the city kept their eyes on the outside of the city, and the bonfires on the top of the city burned more than before, shining a bright light.

Someone looked at it again and again, confirmed it a few times, and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

At this time, the figures outside the city were finally clear, and a group of cavalry swarmed over, and when they arrived not far from the city gate, they shouted in unison: "Open the door, open the door, open the door, we are coming." ”

"Why hasn't the door opened yet?"

"Open the door, it's time!"

Liu Minzi at the head of the city didn't sleep tonight, he waited early, and said at this time: "Your Majesty is really like a god!" ”

Then he shouted, "Arrows, arrows!" ”

There was also a shout from under the city: "Eh, don't let go of the arrows, your own people." ”

"Don't let go of the arrows, your own people!"

The people at the head of the city paid no attention to it, and continued to shoot.

The people under the city were shocked one by one, and while beating their horses and turning their heads, they shouted: "I have a plan, I have a plan, I am ...... withdraw."

The cavalry swarmed and then ebbed away, accompanied by shouts and shouts, accompanied by all kinds of shouting.

Liu Minzi laughed out loud in the city: "Your Majesty is really scheming, thwarting the enemy's conspiracy, and he dares to show his ugliness even if he has a small plan." ”

While talking, Liu Minzi happily went down to the city, and today he won another battle, so he had to hurry up to report to His Majesty the Emperor, and he had to talk about today's events.

Under the city, five or six hundred steps away, Di Yong followed Gan Qi to the city, and acted in such a play, Di Yong was also laughing, and said: "Big brother, this arrow has completely flew." ”

"Let's wait and see what happens, let the soldiers not sleep tonight, and see how the feather arrow flies and where it flies." Gan Qi smiled and turned back, the matter has been done, it depends on how the city is fermenting.

Liu Minzi rushed to the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor Ma Long was also sleepless, waiting for news from Dongcheng.

As soon as Liu Minzi rushed in and was about to report the good news, he heard Ma Long say in a sad tone: "I already know about the matter, you go back and bring dozens of henchmen over, ambushed left and right." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you want?" Liu Minzi asked.

"You don't need to care, just do it."

Liu Minzi rushed back and brought a group of his henchmen into the palace, and Emperor Ma Long personally commanded and arranged dozens of people to ambush them.

Then I only heard Ma Long whisper to Liu Minzi: "Minzi, you go in person and go to recruit Deng Zhong, just say that I have a private word to say to him." ”

No matter how upright Liu Minzi is, he understands what the emperor wants to do at this time, but he is silent and just goes to do things.

Liu Minzi flew away, and Ma Long began to enter a sad and melancholy mood, and said to himself: "Deng Zhong, Deng Zhong, you have followed me since you were a child, and you have been at the forefront of everything you do, and you have lived hard days together, but you can't enjoy this blessing together." What is the charm of Di Yong, and what benefits have you promised so that you can abandon your brothers and betray me? Could it be that his official of the Great Song Dynasty is an official? My Dayan's official is not an official? ”

Ma Long is completely determined, he just waits for tonight to see if the Song people will really come to sneak attack, whether there are really people who will join forces in the city, which is very important. As long as there is this, who else can Deng Zhong who is not guarding the east gate?

The letter was shot at Deng Zhong, and Deng Zhong also guarded the east gate, and the enemy really came as promised.

If it's not Deng Zhong, who else can it be?

Today is Deng Zhong's death, and Ma Long is very sad and melancholy. Ma Long also has some soft-heartedness in his heart, after all, they have grown up together since childhood, even if they are peeled off the skin and bones, there is no need to cut them all over the house, just kill Deng Zhong's sons, and the graves of the eighteenth generations of ancestors will not be dug.

This is the last grace of His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Minzi went to invite Deng Zhong, the road is very familiar, and Deng Zhong's current garrison is the place where Liu Minzi is stationed.

In fact, Deng Zhong didn't sleep either, the worries in his heart didn't have to be any less, many things, he seemed to have a premonition, at night, on the east gate, there was really a fight.

The Song army really arrived as promised.

This is a big problem.

Liu Minzi came: "Brother Zhong, Your Majesty has summoned you to go, and you have private words to say." ”

Deng Zhong's brows had already condensed, and he asked, "Minzi, did the Song army really attack the east gate tonight?" ”

Liu Minzi nodded: "Well, they thought that someone would really open the door for them, so they rushed over on a horse, and they didn't bring a single body on the long ladder." I was desperately shouting for me to open the door, but I just shot so hard that they cried and ran away. Ha ha...... Won another battle! ”

Deng Zhong hurriedly asked again: "Minzi, you tell me the truth, who do you think is a spy in the city?" Who exactly is that letter for? ”

"I don't dare to say it, and I can't say why."

Deng Zhong said again: "I'll tell you, I've been thinking about it, the Song people must have shot the arrow in the wrong place, sent the letter to the wrong place, I am in the south of the East Gate, Shen Heizi is in the north of the East Gate, I am really not a spy, they should have been preparing to send the letter to Shen Heizi, but accidentally sent it to me." It must be so, and it can only be explained in this way. ”

Liu Minzi was noncommittal, he really didn't understand, but he was a little anxious, and said: "Brother Zhong, Your Majesty is waiting for you, take what you say to your Majesty." ”

Deng Zhong seemed to be still thinking, his figure paused, and waved his hand: "No, it's not right, if it's Shen Heizi, he is near the south gate tonight, such a good opportunity, he should have already done it, no, it's not Shen Heizi." ”

Liu Minzi said again: "Brother Zhong, why don't we go to the palace to see Your Majesty?" ”

Deng Zhong seemed to be a little nervous, and he was still stuck in his own thinking, and waved his hand: "No, let me think about it first, if I don't figure it out, I don't know what to say when I see Your Majesty......"

Liu Minzi was really anxious, and said: "Brother Zhong, if you don't hurry up to see you, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, maybe you really think you have two hearts!" ”

"Your Majesty already thinks that I have two hearts, if I can't figure things out, just go like this, there will definitely be problems." Deng Zhong understood his situation, so he became more and more anxious, and kept thinking about it in his head.

Liu Minzi heard Deng Zhong's words, and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhong, where are you talking about this, how can Your Majesty suspect you?" ”

Deng Zhong suddenly became excited, and said loudly: "Liu Minzi, you tell me the truth, does Your Majesty suspect that I am a spy?" Your Majesty called me into the palace in the middle of the night, but didn't call anyone else, and asked you to call me personally, does Your Majesty think that I am a spy? ”

Liu Minzi hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Zhong, don't be suspicious, Your Majesty just has a secret matter to discuss with you, let me call you, just because I happened to enter the palace to report the victory, so it was a coincidence." ”

Deng Zhong suddenly flicked his body, and the person took several steps back, kept a distance from Liu Minzi, and said: "Liu Minzi, you are an honest man, don't lie to me." Let me tell you, Shen Heizi is right, he is not a spy, and I am not a spy, that letter is the Song people's divisive plan, do you believe me? ”

Liu Minzi nodded: "I naturally believe in Brother Zhong's you." ”

"No, Your Majesty believes in you, so you are asked to guard the east gate, Your Majesty believes in you, so you are asked to summon me, but you don't believe me!" Deng Zhong took a few steps back and raised his hand to point: "You, are you trying to kill me?" ”

Liu Minzi was covered in sweat, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhong, don't think nonsense, you don't believe me, don't you still believe Your Majesty?" ”

"Liu Minzi, you are an honest man, right, you didn't want to kill me, did you? Your Majesty doesn't doubt me, does you? Deng Zhong asked over and over again at this time, his nerves were tense, he was very sensitive, this kind of thing, he was the most weak person, and he was even more weak at this time, he suddenly guessed something, cautious, very cautious, like walking on thin ice.

"Your Majesty has no suspicion of you!" Liu Minzi tried to tell a lie with the honest appearance of an honest person.

"Your Majesty has actually been suspicious of me for a long time, otherwise he would not have transferred me from the East Gate." Deng Zhong has his own feelings and conjectures.

Liu Minzi really had no choice, this errand couldn't be done now, he said sharply: "Brother Zhong, if you don't go, it's just that if you don't go, I'll go back to the palace to restore my life." You don't want to think about it, if you don't go today, this spy is not you, it's you! ”

"Sure enough, sure enough, you all think I'm a spy, and I go around to see people during the day, trying to help me figure it out, but no one dares to see me. You all doubt me, you ......" Deng Zhong did not retreat at this time, but walked forward, his hand already on the hilt of the knife.

The actual situation is not exactly as he said, Deng Zhong really went to see people everywhere during the day, and wanted everyone to help investigate the matter and clear his suspicion. But not everyone didn't see him, at least Shen Heizi saw him, and also expressed his trust in him, and tried his best to help him come up with advice to clear his suspicion.

So when Deng Zhong suspected Shen Heizi, he found a reason to rule out Shen Heizi's suspicion. This reason is also tenable, if it is really Shen Heizi, the east gate should have been opened at this time.

"Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong, you calm down, Your Majesty is not an unreasonable person, you just need to see Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty your reasoning, how can Your Majesty not believe you? If you go with me to see Your Majesty, your doubts will naturally be dispelled. "Liu Minzi has used all his brains to persuade Deng Zhong to enter the palace. He didn't expect this matter to be so difficult before, and Emperor Ma Long didn't expect that Deng Zhong would not enter the palace to see him at this time.

Deng Zhong waved his hand again and again: "I won't go, I will definitely die if I go, you all think I am a spy, you all doubt me, you all slander in front of your eldest brother, and no one will help me speak after saying bad things." You all want me dead! ”

"Brother Zhong, no one wants you to die, they all want you to get rid of suspicion."

Where can Deng Zhong still care about this, and shouted: "Come on, come on." ”

A small group of soldiers immediately rushed in from outside the room, and the leader of the air asked, "What do you command?" ”

Deng Zhong pointed to Liu Minzi and said, "Take him down, he is a spy, arrest him first, and I will send him to Your Majesty later!" ”

Where are the soldiers waiting, they first spread out and surrounded Liu Minzi, and several people rushed up and pressed Liu Minzi to the ground.

While struggling, Liu Minzi shouted: "Deng Zhong, do you want to rebel?" You're going to rebel, aren't you? He also said that the spy is not you, what you are doing now is what the spy does. You let me go, you let me go, I will believe you, I will go to Your Majesty to help you intercede, I will help you. ”

"Plug him, gag his mouth, tie him up." Deng Zhong raised his hand in the air and pointed at it, but this hand was also trembling, he didn't even plan what to do next, but he caught Liu Minzi, and this was already a desperate road.

Liu Minzi was tied to the side, and his mouth was tightly gagged.

The military men stared wide-eyed, standing without knowing what to do, and not knowing what to say.

"What to do? What to do? What should I do......" This is Deng Zhong's self-question in his heart, he is on a dead end, this is a dead end.

Everyone knows that there are spies in the city, which is the foreshadowing that Di Yong buried in the city, and the spies arranged by Di Yong. But the generals of the city, no matter how big or small, before Di Yong left, everyone had dinner with him, and everyone had a detailed conversation with him. Deng Zhong was no exception, but Deng Zhong really didn't have any conspiracy with Di Yong at that time. At that time, who would have thought that Di Yong would commit treason, this Great Yan Kingdom was established by Di Yong, who would have thought that Di Yong would commit treason?

At that time, everyone who ate with Di Yong even felt honored.

Spies, there must be.

But Deng Zhong is really not a spy. Deng Zhong himself knows that he is not a spy!

What to do?

Now it seems that everyone thinks that he Deng Zhong is a spy, even the emperor thinks so, and even the emperor has sent someone to kill him. Just like when the emperor wanted to kill Di Yong.

Don't? Di Junshi, Di Xianggong, never thought about treason at all?

Don't? Is it that His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill Di Junshi directly for the sake of power?

Just like today, suddenly start killing someone?

Yes, this Great Yan Kingdom was created by Di Junshi, and it was not difficult for Di Junshi to be the emperor even if he wanted to be the emperor himself, so His Majesty wanted to kill him?

Deng Zhong thought nonsense, and shook his head again, what is the use of thinking about this at this time? Di Junshi almost died, and he escaped by luck.

Now it's your turn?

What to do?

Deng Zhong has no master, and his steps are chaotic.

Suddenly, he thought of someone, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, go and get Shen Heizi ...... General Shen invited him, and said that I had an urgent matter to see him, and life and death were at stake, so I told him to come quickly! ”

Deng Zhong originally wanted to go to see Shen Heizi by himself, but after thinking about it, it was better for him not to leave the barracks, because in his own barracks, safety could be guaranteed. But he was afraid that Shen Heizi would not come, so he shouted again: "If General Shen doesn't come, you will say that I, Deng Zhong, begged him to come, and begged him to save his life!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, the villain is going, this is going!"
