In the dimly lit prison, Qin Ming completely lost his former demeanor, and the prisoner looked weakly shrunk in the corner. Now, all I think about is the high spirit of riding on a war horse in the past.

Zhao Cheng had been watching him outside for a while.

Now Qin Ming is not stupid to the end, knowing that it is difficult to break out of the encirclement this time, basically he, the general of the defeated army, has now become embarrassed, and countless people are waiting for him to die, so he will keep his mouth shut by the way.

Although Qin Ming didn't deal with Zhao Cheng from the beginning, he also knew that although he was taken by the people of Guichi County this time, it was not necessarily that this Zhao Cheng needed to die by himself, he just couldn't help himself.

In addition, the injury is very serious now, and he was hit hard by the peerless master Fang La, and now the chest rise and fall caused by just wheezing, it is all a sharp pain, so Qin Ming continued to lean on it without thinking, too lazy to speak.

"Qin Ming, seeing you like this, it can be regarded as precipitating, you seem to understand something?" Zhao Cheng said.

Qin Ming couldn't be popular now, and shook his head reluctantly, "Lord Zhao is here to see Qin's last joke?" ”

Zhao Cheng said, "I don't think you have anything to laugh about, Liu Qishan's jokes are too many to finish, and Chen Hao is even more of a joke in ordinary times, including me, a bunch of people behind my back say that I am a faint official, that I am funny, and that I can't wear a hat well." It can be seen that if you want to be laughed at and ridiculed, you have to be qualified, right? As the general of the defeated army, nearly 100 people were lost in Lingyang Mountain, in addition to the fact that you are about to die of infamy, your family is also facing the confiscation of the army in the northwest to send the seed master Dao, don't you see what are the good jokes about these? ”

Qin Ming was even more sad, "Qin is really ...... Is it damn so? ”

Zhao Cheng hesitated and said, "This has to be said separately, Cai Wenji really doesn't want you to die." I don't care, you can die or not. In this case, I tend to you not to die, after all, I don't like to kill so much, and in addition, I tacitly know that you are the back, this is not justice, which is not good for the entire unusable Xiang army at the moment, so theoretically your death is not good for my goal. ”

Listening to his rhetoric, Qin Ming's mood perked up a little, but after thinking about it carefully, he was discouraged, "My lord is a person who really understands, and there is a saying that is very reasonable: become a king and lose a villain." Qin Ming lost the battle of Lingyang Mountain, no matter what the reason was, after all. According to the convention, the crime of disobedience will be determined, in this case, it is impossible for Huang Wenping to admit that he gave a special order to let me act independently, and Lord He will inevitably get rid of his responsibilities and will not admit that he gave advice to the last general with the army. So it's all mine, it's not. ”

Zhao Cheng nodded, "Yes, you didn't think about it, to put it simply, they can't sleep if you don't die." With the current trend and public opinion in the defeat of Lingyang Mountain, someone must be responsible, and they all said, 'I don't carry this pot', so I can't let me carry the defeat into victory, right? What's more, in terms of political components, I am in league with them, and I am a species. So the default will fall on you, which is called the unspoken rule. ”

Qin Ming wanted to say something.

Zhao Cheng interrupted again, "Okay, they're not children anymore, so there's no need to call nonsense like 'unfair'." The definition of survival is to make choices under unfair rules repeatedly. To put it simply, this era is this virtue, and this is more virtuous than this civilized age. The rule is: there must be a price to pay for your choice, but you can always choose. For example, even if there is interference from Huang Wenbing and He Zhi, you can choose not to give them face, right? Of course, there will be a price to choose this way, and it is difficult to say whether it is evil or auspicious. Because you need some luck to do anything, isn't it worse than you are now? ”

"Leading the team to participate in the battle of Lingyang Mountain is a choice made by me Zhao Cheng. If you want to be fair, is this fair to me? The partial defeat in this battle was caused by you and Fang La, not my Zhao Cheng's fault. But when the situation is reversed, we need scholars, more than 30 hardcore brothers, and Liang Hongyu, who is only five years old, to bet their heads together! I chose and won, so I'm standing outside and you're inside. ”

Hearing this, Qin Ming smiled bitterly, "My lord has seen through everything...... But what's the use of saying that now? ”

"I'm not going to say useless nonsense."

Zhao Cheng said lightly, "Nagging with you means that I have a way to save you." This Nima is also my choice, there must be a price, and it is unpredictable whether it is evil or auspicious. When I came to talk to you this time, I wondered why I did this, and whether it was worth it. To put it simply: what good am I doing to save you? ”

“……”

Qin Ming didn't know what to say, but his mind was also active, after all, no one wanted to die.

"It's okay if you want me to take risks, but the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, and there must be predictable profits when you take risks, I think you know this?" Zhao Cheng blinked again.

“……”

After Qin Ming was stunned for a while, he reluctantly got up, and knelt on the ground with a standard military salute after tidying up his posture, "Qin Ming's dying person has a rotten life, if he does not give up his life, he will sell a rotten life to Xianggong, and since then he has been saddled before and after the horse, and he has taken the lead." ”

Zhao Cheng touched his chin and hesitated, it is not easy to say how this kind of heart is for the time being, but in fact, stupid people also have stupid usage. In addition, this guy is not cowardly, he dares to take the lead and is very sure, judging from the situation at the time, it is okay to swear to protect Cai Wenji and others to retreat.

"If the prime minister doesn't believe in Qin Ming, Qin Ming can cut off an arm to clarify his mind." Qin Ming said loudly again.

"You are really stupid and a little outrageous, and there is a logical relationship between cutting off an arm and Ming's mind. Do you think this will increase persuasiveness rather than detract points? ”

Zhao Cheng continued to touch his chin and hesitated.

"The last general...... Forehead ......"

Qin Ming scratched his head for a long time and was eager to survive, and he didn't say anything, so his face turned red, "Then how can the prime minister believe Qin Ming?" ”

Zhao Cheng said: "Actually, I don't believe you no matter what you say, but if you don't believe you, there is no good way for the time being, okay, I decided to believe you this time, and I won't believe it again next time." Anyway, I will always have a way, and I can always clean up the people who are working against me, none of you are as smart as me, and you are not as hard as me, so you will always be suppressed by me. ”

“……”

Qin Ming's heart was sour, and he finally knew why he was always against this guy, because he was really an existence that could provoke people, and he spoke very well.

Shaking his head and not thinking much about it, Qin Ming said again, "But the last general has now become the most embarrassing existence, and it is difficult for Xianggong to rescue Qin Ming in a comprehensive way." As long as you deliberately relax your guards, let Qin Ming find an opportunity to get out of the mountains, go up the mountain and fall into the grass, and from then on keep the great kindness of the prime minister in mind, and the name of a traitor will not implicate the adult. Is that good? ”

"Damn, I got you out so that you can protect me, give me the service to kill the bandits, and you will become my opponent instead, and let me take risks?" Zhao Cheng pointed to his nose, "You think I'm as stupid as you?" ”

Qin Ming was also anxious, "But if this is not the case, they want to kill Qin Ming, and if Xianggong doesn't kill and doesn't let Qin Ming escape, will Xianggong be affected?" ”

"If it's not so difficult, you still need to say that it's early, and you need to delay it for so many days? Do you really think I have a bad taste for the cat sadists and want to lock up and abuse you? Zhao Cheng said.

Qin Ming didn't know much about the cat abuse party, but he probably understood that it was indeed difficult. On the premise that he does not rebel and does not allow himself to defect to the grass, it is really difficult to break these unspoken political rules.

Originally, I thought that it was rumored that he had something to do with the cottage, so he could flee to the village of Bai Agarwood for refuge.

But Zhao Cheng is not an idiot, if it was really that simple, he would have done it a long time ago. It is easy for Qin Ming to escape, but what should he do if his family is small, in addition, if he really goes to the White Agarwood Department, it is equivalent to pitting the White Agarwood Department, and people who didn't pay attention to her will put Yangshan in the spotlight because of the existence of this rebel general, and directly rise to the blacklist at the same level as Wang Xiu.

To be honest, this is also a road, but it is okay, but it is very extreme and not in Zhao Cheng's interests.

"Let's take these two pills, and I'll talk about the rest when I think about it. I don't promise, but I'll do my best to save you, trust you once. ”

Zhao Cheng decisively handed him two white pills that had recently been brushed out in the system, and gave him a pot of wine by the way. This thing works wonders for treating internal injuries, and it just so happens that internal injuries need to be taken with alcohol.

This pill looked very strange, but now there was nothing to scruple about, not to mention wine, so Qin Ming swallowed it decisively, and began to drink.

After drinking, he was about to say two words of allegiance, but he was stunned, Zhao Cheng's figure was no longer here......
