Chapter 57: Get Out

The carriage galloped for a while, and Rushuang estimated that the officers and soldiers had been thrown away, so it slowed down.

"Lord Squire, how about you see us say goodbye?" Rushuang quipped.

"Whatever you want, they shouldn't be so quick to catch up anyway."

"The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, and we will meet again if we have a fate!" Rushuang hugged her fists and made a very Jianghu action.

Zhong Nan was about to get out of the carriage, and Liao Qing'er, who had been silent for a long time, asked softly, "Can't you really help save my father?" ”

Zhong Nan was a little big, and said in his heart: Do you think your father is an ordinary criminal, he is a reactionary rebel that the government focuses on, who has the ability to save him. But seeing Liao Qing'er's pitiful appearance, she couldn't bear to tell the truth, so she had to be perfunctory, "Let's talk about it when I understand the specific situation when I go back." ”

"Thank you." Liao Qing'er thought that Zhong Nan had promised to help, and her mood was a little better.

"This ......" Zhong Nan didn't know how to answer - to tell the truth, I just talked casually, and I was worried that the other party wouldn't let him go; If you really want to save people, he really doesn't have that ability. Thinking about it, just let it go, the indecisiveness in Zhong Nan's character is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Liao Qing'er thought that Zhong Nan was thinking about what to call her, so she answered, "My name is Liao Qing'er." What do you call Squiro-sama? ”

Zhong Nan remembered that the other party asked him his name in Dongchang, but he didn't answer, and if he didn't say it again this time, he always felt a little rude.

"Zhong Nan, he will meet again in the future!" After saying that, he got out of the carriage and walked away without looking back in the direction in which he had been going.

Rushuang was worried that the soldiers would catch up, and urged the brother who was driving to raise the whip, and Liao Qing'er watched Zhong Nan's figure disappear quickly in front of her eyes.

"Sister, don't look at it, it's long gone." Rushuang grinned.

"Why, I ...... I ......"

"Okay, okay, sister, tell me how you met?"

Liao Qing'er briefly told the story of the two acquaintances, and after listening to it, Rushuang sighed, "Sister, you are really 'not fighting and not knowing'!" ”

Liao Qing'er also felt strange, how could two people who had no trajectories at all meet again and again, is it really fate?

"Sister, you said you didn't even know someone's surname before, why did you like him?"

"I don't like him, it's just ...... Most...... I guess I have a good impression of him! Liao Qing'er told the truth, she didn't like Zhong Nan's feelings yet, but she definitely had a good impression. She also wondered in her heart: When did she start to have a good impression of Zhong Nan? At first, I thought that the other party was a "prodigal son", but why did he change his attitude later? It should have started when he was arrested in Dongchang and Zhong Nan let himself go, right? The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt.

……

Back to the other side.

After Zhong Nan got out of the car, he only walked back a few steps before stopping. He thought that the officers and soldiers would definitely chase after him along the way, so it was better to wait where he was, so as not to miss the rescue team.

Ten minutes later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and Zhong Nan waved his hand to the other party. When the other party approached, Zhong Nan recognized it as Hu Huanshan and others. He didn't speak, flipped onto the horse that one of the team members had laid, and led the group back to the makeshift command center.

Seeing Zhong Nan come back safely, the originally serious faces of Shen Shixing and the three of them had a little smile. Xu Wenbi and Zhang Yuangong were also very happy, this time the rescue work was led by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, although the assistance of other people was indispensable, but it made them look good.

After thanking everyone one by one, Zhong Nan and everyone in the field parted ways. After returning to Zhongfu and settling down, it was almost noon, Zhong Nan had lunch and went back to his room to take a nap.

Since the emperor ordered that the kidnapped four people be allowed to recuperate for a few more days, Zhong Nan planned to wait two days before going to work in the military department.

Since you want to cultivate, you must stay comfortable at home. When he went to bed at night, Zhong Nan noticed that Qiu Xiang's eyes were wrong, and when Yun Xiyu was over, he hugged Qiu Xiang and asked, "Qiu Xiang, is there something you haven't told me?" ”

Qiu Xiang was puzzled, "No, what is Brother Zhong talking about?" ”

"Then what do I think, your eyes are a little weird."

At the mention of this, Qiu Xiang covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Zhong, I didn't see that you are quite capable of recruiting women!" ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhong Nan was confused.

"Brother Zhong, you don't have to hide it from me, if you really have a woman who is in love outside, you can take her into the house."

Qiu Xiang's words made Zhong Nan stop, "Where is this, where am I outside!" ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely not!" Zhong Nan almost swore a curse.

"But when you were kidnapped, I saw you and the woman in yellow eyebrows, she is really not your good friend Brother Zhong?"

Zhong Nan thought about it for a while, and realized that Qiu Xiang was talking about Liao Qing'er, but why did he ever make eye contact with the other party? Although Zhong Nan knew that Qiu Xiang did not object to him taking a concubine, he really hadn't thought about it for the time being.

"I've met her twice before, and I didn't know each other's names until this time, how could the two of us have that kind of relationship!" Zhong Nan categorically refused, he is not a person who "dares to do but dare not be", but he will never admit what he does not have.

"That's strange, judging from my woman's intuition, that woman may not have that meaning to Brother Zhong." Akika judged.

"Probably not, right?" Recalling the scene before separating from Liao Qing'er, Zhong Nan was not sure.

"Not only that, but I found that Miss Jiang also has a good impression of Brother Zhong." Qiu Xiang burst out another gossip, "That's why I just said that Brother Zhong is quite a woman!" ”

"No, why did you get involved with Miss Jiang again?" Zhong Nan felt that the more his wife talked about it, the more outrageous it became.

Qiu Xiang told the reason: it turned out that after Zhong Nan disappeared, Jiang Mo had been paying attention to the progress of the rescue work, and had asked Qiu Xiang many times about Zhong Nan's safety.

What does this mean? Everyone is under the same roof, and it's okay to care about each other, right? Zhong Nan didn't think that Jiang Mo's behavior contained other meanings in it.

"Hmph, I don't think it's that simple anyway." Qiu Xiang still insisted on her opinion, "But it's also normal, a man like Brother Zhong, presumably no one in the world can stand out, and it is natural for them to admire and fall in love!" ”

Zhong Nan didn't feel blushing, and accepted Qiu Xiang's praise in full. However, for Jiang Mo's judgment, Qiu Xiang was really wrong this time. The reason why Jiang Mo cares about Zhong Nan's safety is very simple, just because when she was very young, a fortune teller said that her Ming is very hard, and she will be able to overcome her parents, go down to Kefujun, and people who are close to her will also fly to cause trouble.

Later, her parents were really killed; None of the other relatives and friends who were in the same room at the time were spared. Later, there were several incidents of accidental injuries of friends who were close to her, so Jiang Mo confirmed her judgment that she would "remedy" people.

The kidnapping of Zhong Nan happened on the first day that Jiang Mo just stayed in the same house, which inevitably made her think about it a lot, and she always felt that she "restrained" Zhong Nan, so she was taken away without explanation. Fortunately, Zhong Nan was in danger, and was finally rescued unharmed, otherwise Jiang Mo would definitely feel very guilty.

Two days later, Zhong Nan and Shen Shixing and the other four ended their holidays together and returned to work. It happened that this day was going to be early, and Emperor Wanli took this opportunity to propose to add another battalion in addition to the "three major battalions", and even the name was chosen, called "new military camp". The battalion will be temporarily commanded by Jing Tianchu, a former guerrilla in Jizhou, and another officer will be arranged to take over when the time is right.

The "three major battalions" were originally directly subordinate to the emperor's army, and the nature of the newly established "new military battalions" was the same as that of the "three major battalions", and they were also regarded as the emperor's direct subordinate army. In this way, neither the military department nor the official department had much reason to interfere or oppose it, and the "new military camp" was thus established.

Three days later, Jing Tianchu came to Beijing with the expanded "new military camp", and the emperor specially assigned Zhong Nan, the new right attendant of the military department, to go to the acceptance. Everyone knew what this wave of operations meant, but there was not a trace of different voices coming from the entire court. Even the group of speech officials who like to do nothing on weekdays are collectively silenced, allowing the emperor to act arbitrarily and not criticizing them.

At the "New Military Camp" on the outskirts of Beijing, Zhong Nanzheng was talking with a group of subordinates, and the theme was to let Jing, Chen, Cui and others build the "New Military Camp" into an army benchmark for the Ming Dynasty. Zhong Nan made a promise: whether it is weapons and equipment or the level of salary, he will strive for the best for the "new military camp"; As for everyone's official positions, when the time is right, he will also go to the operation and arrangement.

After a short meeting, Zhong Nan deliberately left Jing Tianchu. In the original idea, Zhong Nan wanted Jing Tianchu to return to the background and become one of Zhong Nan's staff after straightening out the affairs of the "new military camp".

Zhong Nan has the characteristics of a modern person, and it is one of them that it is difficult not to be strong. When he asked Jing Tianchu for his opinion on this arrangement, Jing Tianchu never expressed his position.

"In that case, Houguang, you can build a 'new military camp' with peace of mind first, and if you have the opportunity, I will let you get your wish." Jing Zhongnan knew Jing Tianchu's thoughts, "everyone has their own ambitions", some people don't value fame, but more people still hope to make achievements in their careers.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I ...... I know that you are now in a shortage of people, and it stands to reason that I should follow your arrangement, but I ...... "Jing Tianchu wants to get ahead too much, and he hopes that he can be in a high position and enjoy the pleasure of power; Instead of hiding behind the scenes, admiring the glory of others in front of the stage. It's just that this will also lead to the worst setback in his life in the future, but this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

"It's okay, Houguang, I understand!" Zhong Nan didn't let the other party continue, there are not many descendants of his family at the moment, and he doesn't want to cause a gap between the two.

"My lord, I actually have a suitable person to recommend to you."
