Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fish Is Hooked

Back in the house, Zhong Nan originally thought that Qiu Xiang had arrived home, but he didn't find her figure. On the contrary, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw Liao Qing'er, who had not appeared for a long time.

"How did you get back today?" Zhong Nan asked with a smile.

"Guess?" Liao Qing'er smiled slyly.

"Seeing that you're in such a good mood, it won't be a happy event, right?" Zhong Nam joked.

"It's about the same," Liao Qing'er paused and said a little mysteriously, "Daddy has been rescued!" ”

Zhong Nan, who reacted after a few seconds, turned around and asked three times: "Your father was rescued?" When was this? Where are the others now? ”

"Brother Nan, even I was so surprised. At first, I thought they were joking, but it wasn't until my dad stood in front of me that I believed it was true. Liao Qing'er replied.

"Are you sure it's your father and not someone else pretending?" Zhong Nan was a little brainy.

"Of course, Brother Nan, how can I not even tell if my father is real or not!" Liao Qinger gave an affirmative answer.

"Miss Liao, sit down and tell me what happened slowly."

After Liao Qing'er's narration, Zhong Nan understood the ins and outs of the matter, and at the same time, he knew a lot more about Miss He.

It turned out that the last time the White Lotus Sect made a big fanfare to rescue Liao Chuanzhi, it was just to deceive the imperial court and make the imperial court relax its vigilance. From the very beginning, they did not intend to launch a rescue at that time.

According to Miss He, the last time they made a rescue gesture, first, they could find out the truth, and second, they could familiarize themselves with the escort process of the imperial court. What's more, she has always been worried that there will be an ambush in the imperial court, so she is careful every step of the way, for fear of being caught in the net.

And after the last time in vain, there were also a lot of discordant voices within the White Lotus Sect, and Miss He took advantage of the situation and pressed down the most ferocious people. In this way, the purpose of rectifying academic affairs has been achieved.

In fact, the White Lotus Sect has not relaxed, and they are keeping an eye on the progress of the repair of the Heavenly Prison at any time. On the afternoon of 28 March, the repair work of the prison of the Criminal Department was completed.

This morning, the prisoners were escorted back to the prison in batches, and Liao Chuanzhi was in the first batch of escort teams.

All the processes were similar to the last time, except that as soon as the escort team left the door of the Shuntianfu prison, they were stunned by a group of people.

There are less than thirty people who rob the road, but there are many people who are strong in martial arts. Taking advantage of the chaos of the escort team, the other party directly killed Liao Chuanzhi's prison car and quickly rescued Liao.

The entire rescue operation was clean and clean, without any mud and water, and the time was less than ten minutes. It is difficult for Zhong Nan to imagine that this is in ancient times, because in his impression, only in film and television dramas can there be such amazing scenes.

"Is your father safe now?" Zhong Nan asked with concern.

"Safe, he's with the big boss now." Liao Qing'er then added, "Daddy asked me to thank you on his behalf, and he also said that he would do his best if you asked him to do something." ”

"Okay, I know, you let him pay attention to safety, and help me tell him, don't worry, I can afford to wait." Seeing that Liao Qing'er wanted to speak and stopped, Zhong Nan asked, "Just ask whatever you want!" ”

"Did you and Daddy make a deal, look at your mysterious appearance." Liao Qing'er still couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just to ask him to pay more attention to Miss He's situation, because I always think she is not simple." Zhong Nan only said part of the content, he didn't want Liao Qing'er to know too much, and he didn't say anything, and he brought danger to her for no reason.

"Why do you think it's a big deal! Don't worry, Brother Nan, I'll help you keep an eye out for you. Liao Qinger was relieved.

"What, you're not going to live on my side anymore?" Zhong Nan was a little surprised.

"My father has already come out, and he still lives with you, so what do others think." Liao Qing'er was a little shy.

Zhong Nan remembered that this was the Ming Dynasty, and an unmarried woman stayed in a man's house for a long time for no reason, which really damaged her innocence. Before, Liao Qinger could be said to have temporarily lived in Zhongfu in order to rescue her father, but now that her father has been rescued, it is a bit too much to say if she lives in Zhongfu again.

After figuring out the inside story, Zhong Nan was inconvenient to keep the other party.

"That's okay, you will be with your father first, but you have to be careful in everything and strive to get out of the White Lotus Sect as soon as possible."

"Why don't you keep me!" Liao Qing'er was angry.

Zhong Nan thought to himself, didn't I think about your innocence? Why is it my fault again? But he said: "I really want you to stay, it depends on whether you want to or not?" ”

"Hmph, you still have a little conscience." Liao Qing'er turned her anger into joy, "However, I'd better go back to the White Lotus Sect first." If you really want me to move in, go find my dad as soon as possible. ”

"What are you looking for him?" Zhong Nan was a little confused.

"Stupid, ask my dad to propose!" Liao Qing'er stomped her foot.

Zhong Nan suddenly realized and let out an "oh".

"Also, when I'm not there, you are not allowed to eat secretly, especially not with that Du Xiaoman...... In that case, otherwise, I won't come back. Although Liao Qing'er said it in a hurry, Zhong Nan understood it very well.

"Miss Du is not in the house!" Zhong Nan said deliberately.

"Count the days, it's almost time for her to come back. When the time comes, don't be fooled by her, you must ...... Be sure to hold on. Later, Liao Qing'er's voice became smaller and quieter. Although she is a free and uninhibited woman in the rivers and lakes, the women in the rivers and lakes are also women, and if she is a woman, she will inevitably have some worries.

"Okay, I got it." Zhong Nan was inexplicably moved in his heart - someone remembered that he was so good. Thinking about it, he took Liao Qing'er into his arms and spoke softly, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, you are a woman, you must pay attention to protect yourself, don't let me worry." ”

This is the first time Zhong Nan has said such tender words to Liao Qing'er, and the other party feels like drinking honey. Liao Qing'er was emotional, plucked up her courage, and gently kissed Zhong Nan on the mouth.

This kiss was much sweeter than the last one, at least it didn't leave a wound on Zhong Nam's face.

Zhong Nan only felt that the other party's warm honey lips, like dragonflies dotting water, brushed the corners of his lips, fleeting. Before he had time to reminisce, he was pushed away by Liao Qing'er.

Zhong Nan didn't know why, but he saw Liao Qing'er looking behind him, and then lowered his blushing face again. He turned around and saw Qiu Xiang standing at the backyard door with a smile.

"Brother Zhong, am I not at the right time?" Qiu Xiang quipped.

"Where, Miss Liao came to say goodbye to me, so I ......" Rao is Zhong Nan was thick-skinned, and he also felt that his face was slightly hot.

Liao Qing'er heard Zhong Nan's words, and she was even more ashamed. She first glanced at Zhong Nan, then walked up to Qiu Xiang, and said, "Sister Qiu Xiang, I'll go first", and then trotted away.

When Liao Qing'er walked away, Qiu Xiang stepped forward to hold Zhong Nan's hand, the two hadn't seen each other for several days, so they naturally had to whisper for a while.

After that, Zhong Nan called Hu Huanshan and asked him to inquire about what happened outside the Shuntianfu prison today.

After more than half an hour, Hu Huanshan reported the news to Zhong Nan.

The basic situation is similar to what Liao Qinger said. It is estimated that the Criminal Department feels a little embarrassed, so it is still blocking the news for the time being. It is said that after the prisoner was rescued, the officers and soldiers planned to chase him back immediately, but they were dragged back by several people with super martial arts. It's just such a delay, and when they chase them out again, they can't even see the human figure.

Zhong Nan thinks this is very good, "I have the intention to plant flowers but not bloom, and I have no intention to plant willows and willows." At least, the White Lotus Sect and that cautious Miss He would not suspect Liao Chuanzhi, and it would be more convenient for Liao Chuanzhi to privately inquire about the news of the treasure map and split the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking that the Criminal Department and Shuntianfu had just suffered a dumb loss, Zhong Nan didn't go to ask Xiong Jiazheng about anything, and he was wrong. Anyway, isn't their purpose just to let go of Liao Chuanzhi.

Since the fish has been hooked, the next thing to do is to wait patiently. Zhong Nan believes that Liao Chuanzhi is a person who keeps his promises, not to mention the relationship between Liao Qing'er, and the other party will never do anything treacherous.

At the beginning of April, Lou Dong sent an express report from Fujian, which mentioned that the recent sharp rise in grain prices in the country has led to a significant increase in overall prices; Not only that, but the Wa Kingdom also built a lot of large ships, and it seems that they are preparing for the expedition.

Zhong Nan presented this information to Zhu Yijun, but the emperor was domineering and leaked, and only said one sentence: If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will not be afraid of him!

After saying cruel words, Zhu Yijun sighed again, "There is no silver in the treasury, if there is really a war, I have to pay out of my own pocket!" ”

Regarding the emperor's inconsistent statement, Zhong Nan could also see that the emperor did not want to go to war in his heart. However, Zhu Yijun was just reluctant to spend money, if the Japanese people hit North Korea, he would still take out the silver and let the Ming soldiers beat him.

I remember that some people in later generations commented on Zhu Yijun, saying that he was very greedy for money, collected a lot of wealth from the treasury of the inner government, and sometimes embezzled money from the treasury. Zhong Nan now seems to have at least this point, and there is no deviation in the historical records.

After figuring out the emperor's mentality, Zhong Nan has the bottom. Although the emperor did not allow him to prepare in advance, so as not to waste the silver, Zhong Nan still made some preparations in private. He took advantage of his position as the right attendant of the military department to transfer the information of Ma Gui, Chen Lan and other generals.

In Zhong Nan's view, the most important thing in fighting a war is to rely on the main general, as long as the main general is selected correctly, the possibility of victory is much greater. Since the Second Korean War was won by Ma Gui and others in the original time and space, there is no need to choose other generals.
