Chapter 67: Where is the Princess (3)
"This ...... I really don't know. Ah Cai said hesitantly, "At that time, it was said that it was night, but in fact, it was not dark yet, and the mole would not be fake." β
After hearing this, Zhuang Ji said affirmatively: "This detail that Ah Cai said is very important. I remember that when Wu Guanliang was interrogated, he had a black mole on his chin and a beard on it. But left or right, I don't remember exactly. β
Zhong Yitong said excitedly: "It's okay now, General Zhuang has confirmed that what Ah Cai said is true." General, let's go find the person with a black mole on his chin. β
Zhuang Ji showed relief on his face, and agreed with Zhong Yitong's opinion: "Okay, the pieces have finally been put together, let's go our separate ways." β
"Reportβ" Zhuang Ji's guard shouted in a long voice as he ran.
Zhuang Ji was taken aback, the princess's affairs have just come to an eyebrow, is it the king who wants to see it.
The guards gasped and reported to Zhuang Ji: "General Zhuang, it's not good, the king is ordering the royal guards to arrest you." β
Zhong Yitong listened and said in surprise: "Huh? What's going on? β
Ah Cai cried again and said, "Brother Zhuang, hide quickly, King Chu was not at ease with you, but this time I am afraid that he will not spare your life." β
Zhuang Ji calmly asked the guards, "Why did the king arrest me, do you know the reason?" β
The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason, but I saw that there were royal guards searching all over the street, and the little one quietly inquired, and only then did he know that he was searching for the general, so he came to report." β
Zhuang Ji thought about it again and said: "No, if the king has the intention of taking me down, he doesn't need to be so loud at all, he just orders to summon me, and then the hidden guards pounce on me together, won't I fall into his trap?" β
Zhong Yitong sighed and said: "Oh, it would be nice if General Bu Zuo was Xiaobu, now there is no one under the general who is powerful, if the king really wants to arrest the general, what should we do?" β
Ah Cai also cried and said, "Yes, Brother Zhuang, what should we do if the king attacks you?" β
Zhuang Ji comforted everyone: "The matter is not as serious as you imagined, you all feel at ease to do your own work, remember, no matter what happens, don't act rashly, everything is up to me." β
Zhong Yitong excitedly defended and said: "General Zhuang, I shouldn't have said this, but now General Xiao Buzuo is far away in Tongcheng, and there are not many soldiers left in the city, and the king of Chu is suspicious, plus Dr. Jin's instigation, if, here I say that if you encounter an accident, we can't sit still." β
Ah Cai also said: "Yes, even if we fight hard, we have to save you." β
Zhuang Ji comforted him as if he was fine: "Okay, okay, I will take the initiative to visit the king, see what is going on, don't be afraid, I will go back when I go." β
Gou Han, who had not spoken, spoke: "General Zhuang, if you believe me, the little one is willing to accompany you to see the king." β
Zhong Yitong said suspiciously: "Dog, you? What's the use of you going? β
Gou Han said without question: "The little one can figure out why the king wants to arrest the general, and Doctor Jin must know about it." β
Zhuang Ji agreed: "Okay, let's go." After walking a few steps, he turned back to Ah Cai, Zhong Yitong and the others and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine when Princess Jingyin comes back." β
Zhong Yitong saw that Zhuang Ji was fine, and also said to Ah Cai and Gou Han: "Don't be afraid, don't go to Gou Han, we still have thousands of people in the city garrison, what are you afraid of?" General Zhuang, you go boldly, and I will arrange the backup. β
Gou Han said: "Yes, I and Zhiyue have something else to do, let's talk clearly, go to the princess, although this matter is difficult, but what if it happens?" β
Princess Jingyin was swept away by two masked men last night and hidden near her residence.
Among the two masked people, the one who claimed to be Liu Huaibei was actually Wu Guanliang, a spy from Qianzhong County of the Qin Army, and the other was a catty of water that Sima successfully escaped when he wanted to kill him.
It turned out that after these two Qin army spies were released by General Zhuang, a pound of water became a two-sided spy, and the other Wu Guanliang was a stuffy turtle who didn't speak, but he was quite stubborn.
After Wu Guanliang was let go by the generous Zhuang Ji, he did not repent, but took advantage of the few days he spent in the Chu army to familiarize himself with the convenience of some Chu army figures, pretending to be Liu Huaibei of the Chu army, and hiding at the sentry post on the Qin army river to further listen to the intelligence of the Chu army.
After they learned that Wucheng was lost, they spent a few days in the city incognito. At this time, the two of them hid under a boulder by the river, discussing their respective futures.
Although Wu Guanliang is a sullen type, he is not sullen at this time, he took the initiative to propose to be entangled with a pound of water and do an earth-shattering career.
At the beginning, Wu Guanliang said that he would do his best to avenge General Sima Cuo and recapture Wucheng.
After hearing this, Yijin Shui shook his head and said, "I escaped from under the tip of Sima Cuo's sword to avenge the enemy who killed me?" Why is this so awkward? If this is the case, it will definitely become a historical joke. β
Wu Guanliang's turn turned quickly, and he echoed: "Yes, Sima killed you by mistake, but he died first, whether to avenge him or not is just a saying, I just want to take advantage of the fact that I am still alive and get an official and a half-job, not to mention the glory of the ancestors, at least I can get a three wives and four concubines to enjoy it." β
After hearing this, Yijin Shui smiled and said: "You want to be an official, that's right, how many unofficial fans are there in the world?" It's even more wrong to have three wives and four concubines, which is higher than my ideals. I'm just thinking in my dreams, how dare you say it in broad daylight. β
Wu Guanliang said tentatively: "You also tell me your plans, if the two of us can agree and do him well, won't we have everything?" β
A pound of water said weakly: "I don't have any plans, I just want to survive and have something to eat." From the bottom of my heart, General Zhuang of the Chu army is good, he doesn't kill the enemy, and you and I have to thank him for this. Although the task he gave me was not successfully completed, it actually helped them recover Wushan. Alas, I don't know how to gain his trust. β
Wu Guanliang nodded: "You, you are still a famous mouth in the Qin army, with your famous mouth who can speak well, are you afraid that General Zhuang will not believe you?" Of course, it is better to beg him to believe...... It's better to ......" At this point, he stopped talking.
This stuffy chicken Wu Guanliang spoke like this, and hung up a pound of water. He urged, "What are you not as good as, speak up and listen." β
Wu Guanliang sighed, alas-let's not say it, for a famous person like you, I'm afraid it's useless to say it.
A pound of water said excitedly: "Look, even you don't believe me, and you also pointed out why I should ask for Zhuang Ji with a name." Alas, come to think of it, I've been too much of a failure in my life. β
"Good, good!" Wu Guanliang clapped his hands again and again when he heard this, "You can feel that you are too much of a failure, so it's good, because this is progress, and a clear understanding of yourself is the first step to success." β
A catty of water looked at Wu Guanliang with a confused face, and said puzzledly: "I failed, okay?" Yours is the real thing. He stood up and walked away, saying, "If you can succeed if you know yourself clearly, then there will be no losers in this world." β
Wu Guanliang pulled him and pressed him on the stone where he was sitting and said, "You, listen to my words backwards." It's a good thing that you can feel like you're failing. Because since ancient times, great men have recognized failure first, and then become great. β
A pound of water said impatiently: "Don't go around, say something quickly." β
Wu Guanliang raised his head and said with a serious face: "The two of us are old and cooperative, if you are a man and a woman, we will already become a good couple." In this way, I thought about it for many days, let's join forces to do a vote, I have found the goal, it is in this city, and I guarantee that after the completion of the work, Zhuang Ji will say good things to you and will reuse you. β
A pound of water looked at Wu Guanliang with wide eyes in surprise and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to really have great ambitions." said, what do you do with one vote or two votes, stealing money, let's not do it. β
"Look at you, as the famous mouth of Qin Jun, you want to do some petty things." Wu Guanliang said with great courage, "Let me tell you, what we are going to do is directly related to the royal family." To be a great official, there must be a great king behind him. Husband, if you don't do something earth-shattering, do you do it, or don't you do it? β
In fact, a pound of water didn't understand yet, but he didn't want to ask anymore, so he pretended to answer decisively: "!" Grandma's husband, anyway, is a death, earth-shattering death, better than a nest to die! β
In this way, the two reached a high degree of agreement on the major issues of life.
That night, Wu Guanliang waited alone outside the courtyard of the Wucheng Mansion where Princess Jingyin stayed, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
In the middle of the night, the temperature difference between Wushan City, which hangs by the river, increased, and the two young guards squatted by the door with their bodies around their respective arms and fell asleep.
Wu Guanliang really deserved to be a spy agent, he summoned a pound of water, and one-on-one moved the two young guards to the side with their necks strangled, and ruthlessly ended their lives.
Princess Jingyin's continuous fatigue caused her to sleep deeply, unaware of everything that was happening outside.
After Wu Guanliang cleaned up the two guards, he went to the bedroom where she slept and pried open the window. It turned out that there must have been a sound of this window prying, but unfortunately the princess didn't notice anything.
Princess Jingyin, who was wrapped in a quilt with a pound of water, ran as fast as she could.
Wu Guanliang followed behind them, looking back as he ran. Obviously, he has a ghost in his heart, and he is afraid that there will be a yellow finch behind.
Carried Princess Jingyin to an old wall not far from her residence, built a straw hut along the wall, and put her in it.
Princess Jingyin struggled, but she couldn't move because she had already been tied up by them, and her mouth was also tightly blocked by rotten things, and she could only breathe through her nostrils and make a buzzing sound.
Wu Guanliang saw that Princess Jingyin had been dealt with properly, and said to a catty of water: "Famous mouth, you bother to take care of her, I have to continue to do this." β
A pound of water was puzzled and tentatively asked, "What do you want to do next?" Or is it something else? β
Wu Guanliang fooled him and said: "Now you listen to me, that's right, when the time comes, I guarantee that your official is bigger than me, and you will get more girls than me." β
