Chapter 33: The Darkness That Consumes All
The same bright moon.
In the inn, Zhao Chengzong sat alone, and the shadows were also in pairs.
Eating delicate pastries, his eyes are downcast.
There was a person standing next to him, but it was the eyeliner shop Xiao Er that Lao Wang used to stare at Zhao Chengzong in the inn.
is actually a hidden master.
Zhao Chengzong suddenly asked with a smile: "What happened to Shuangyang City before, even Liang Qi and Zhou Xing died." ”
The shopkeeper lowered his head and said softly: "If you return to Gongzi, it is a bureau set up by Chen Bi, and it will be decided by Qi Pingchuan, and in the end, Zhou Xing and Liang Qi will die together, but it is also an accident, and the crooked attack is correct, and it actually leads to the real Taizu sword." ”
Zhao Chengzong's face sank, "Huh?!" ”
The shopkeeper's heart jumped, but his face was silent, "The subordinates should be damned, a slip of the tongue is the murder weapon of the traitor." ”
Zhao Chengzong sighed, "I don't blame you, even I, the royal family of the previous dynasty, have to be convinced by the great ancestor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is comparable to my Zhao family ancestor." ”
Founding Taizu, which one is not a talent?
Dare to face the light of the great sign and face the darkness of the Zhao family's demise, in order to forge ahead and restore the country, this truth, Zhao Chengzong understands better than the other remaining brothers.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper sighed, "There have been many emperors throughout the ages, and there are a few famous names in history." ”
Zhao Chengzong glanced at him in surprise, "It's not a small growth." ”
The shopkeeper could only laugh at himself, "I also read some books in my spare time, which made my son laugh." ”
Zhao Chengzong pondered for a long time, "During this period of time, you will obey Qi Pingchuan's wishes, and report my actions according to the truth, well, by the way, the current Shuangyang City, besides me, there are any suspicious people." ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while, "The new woman in Zuiyanlou is a little suspicious, she and Liang Qi entered the city on the same day, and her subordinates suspect that she is a secret son laid by King Ming in Shuangyang City." ”
Zhao Chengzong nodded and did not comment, "There is more." ”
"And the maid in Qi Pingchuan's mansion, I've been in Shuangyang for a year or two, and my subordinates have gone to investigate, but when I found Kyoto, I was pinched off all the clues by a pair of invisible hands, and I think this maid named Shang Yousu has a lot of origin." The shopkeeper smiled confidently, "The rest of the people are waiting, don't be afraid." ”
"County?"
"In the midst of filial piety, and he is a sycophant, there is no need to worry."
"Jiang Zhutou, Lao Wang?"
"The subordinate triad can be killed."
"That old priest Xu Siqing from the Guozi Prison?"
"Rotten ear."
Zhao Chengzong thought for a while, "Xu Siqing's rotten Confucianism is not beneficial to the country, but my Zhao family's restoration of the country also needs the support of literati, and the merit articles of scholars are indispensable, you pay attention to it and see if you can win this old teaching." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, "The subordinates have written it down." ”
Zhao Chengzong got up excitedly, walked a few steps, and looked back at the shopkeeper, "Jiang Ran, remember the words of this king, you must tell Qi Pingchuan my whereabouts these days, don't make any claims." ”
The shopkeeper bowed, "The subordinates don't dare." ”
……
……
Qi Pingchuan heard Lao Wang say that Zhao Chengzong stayed in the inn honestly, and waved his hand: "Of course he has to stay honest, it is useless for the forces of the previous dynasty to get that edict, and it is most beneficial for them to fall into the hands of the vassal king." ”
Who wants to see chaos in the world?
Of course, it was the Zhao family of the former dynasty who was determined to restore the country, and they had a chance because of the chaos.
Suddenly, he jokingly asked Lao Wang, "Did you succeed last night?" ”
If before last night, he was very envious of Lao Wang and Jiang Zhutou, then not now.
Because I have little Lori!
Lao Wang sighed angrily, "Sensei said, the one in the drunken Yanlou said that there were no guests during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we ate the closed door soup and went home early to rest." ”
Qi Pingchuan lowered his voice, "Lao Wang, are we friends?" ”
Lao Wang patted his chest, his face full of generosity, "Lord Qi, where are you talking about this, if there is anyone in Shuangyang County who is willing to stick a knife in the ribs for Lord Qi, that person must be my Lao Wang!" ”
Qi Pingchuan didn't raise his eyelids, believing that you have a ghost, and a smile floated, "I don't need you to stick a knife in both ribs, it's just that I've been a little tight recently...... Borrow some money to use? ”
"Farewell!"
Lao Wang slipped away, leaving only the ground full of festivals.
Qi Pingchuan was speechless......
It's not that I have to borrow money, but I don't know why, I just want to give a gift to Little Lori, but now I have no private money, so I want to find Lao Wang to turn around.
I didn't expect Lao Wang's product to be too realistic.
Come on, let's talk about it.
Leaving the county government and coming to the East City Gate, Jiang Zhutou had already led people to set up a card check.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the autumn is slightly warm.
Qi Pingchuan sat in the sun with Erlang's legs crossed, and Jiang Zhutou next to him was sitting in a precarious position, not that he was restrained, Jiang Zhutou had always been like this, only when he was with Lao Wang, he revealed the side of the market.
Qi Pingchuan plucked his ears and asked lightly: "Jiang Zhutou, was it okay to eat last night behind closed doors?" ”
Jiang Zhutou was stunned, "Closed door? ”
Qi Pingchuan said with a smile: "There's nothing embarrassing, after all, everyone in Drunken Yanlou is also going to have a festival." ”
Jiang Zhutou laughed embarrassedly, "I didn't go last night." ”
Qi Pingchuan's heart jumped, didn't go?
The king is lying to me!
Quietly, he said: "It turned out that Lao Wang went to eat alone alone." ”
Jiang Zhutou raised his eyebrows, a little vigilant, and said without thinking: "Maybe." Immediately, he changed his words without a trace, "If King Ming and Lu Bing's people lurk in Shuangyang City, what are your plans?" ”
Qi Pingchuan's attitude is still a little disdainful.
However, compared to before, it has been a earth-shaking change, at least he has no intention of being embarrassed everywhere now.
Qi Pingchuan smiled but did not speak.
Jiang Zhutou didn't ask any more questions, but his mind kept echoing the words that his brother-in-law Chen Bi, who was still wrapped in gauze after the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet last night, said to him.
The brother-in-law said that the chess pieces in Shuangyang City are no longer chess pieces, but entrants.
Jiang Zhutou has been figuring it out.
Brother-in-law Chen Bi has ambitions and wants to be that peerless national soldier, and he does have this talent, but the good birds choose trees to perch, Jiang Zhutou doesn't understand why his brother-in-law Chen Bi has to choose Qi Pingchuan.
Even though Qi Hanqing is a legend of Dazheng, Qi Pingchuan is not.
Qi Pingchuan is just a soft egg county lieutenant!
Well......
It seems that after the last incident, the word "soft egg" is open to discussion.
Qi Pingchuan, is there still an invisible side of himself?
However, this doesn't matter, even if he is the reincarnation of Qi Hanqing, but the power of Shuangyang City is not able to compete with the vassal king, the traitor, and Lu Bing, how can he compete for a place in this general trend of the world.
Did my brother-in-law go crazy?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qi Pingchuan had already gotten up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Work hard." ”
A horse-drawn carriage on the official road outside the city came in a hurry.
Seeing the carriage from afar, Qi Pingchuan felt that his eyes were a little stinging, and in an instant, everything in front of him was breeding, and the dark clouds on the sky behind the carriage were all over the sky, emptying and rolling in, swallowing the autumn day, the shadows cast by the dark clouds, a line like a tide, from a distance like a river overflowing the earth, devouring everything.
He also wants to devour himself and the Shuangyang City behind him.
In the shadows, there seemed to be countless figures of powerful ghosts twisting and wailing......
When I fixed my eyes again, the Haiyan River was clear.
Just an illusion!
Qi Pingchuan's heart jumped, the people in the carriage were extraordinary.
And who is going to make a strong debut?
