Chapter 90: A Gamble of Life and Death (2)

Jin Shang went to the door to look at the sky and looked at the sun and said, "Qu Lao'er, I'm sorry, the old man still has other things, so I won't accompany you." ”

As soon as Qu Yuan heard this, he stood up and left, saying as he walked: "It's really not more than half a sentence of speculation." ”

Jin Shang looked at Qu Yuan's back and complained: "It's really old and confused, ask about Zhuang Ji, don't look for him, find the old man, aren't you here to hit the south wall?" ”

In fact, the moment Qu Yuan stood up from the seat in Jin Shang's office, he thought of Zhuang Ji. I also blamed myself in my heart that I got up too early and went to the wrong door. sighed to himself, alas, let's talk to Zhuang Ji.

Zhuang Ji got the news that Xiao Bu had taken the city of Tongcheng, and his military affairs were even busier.

At this time, Zhong Yitong was asking him whether to replace the guards who guarded Wu Guanliang and a pound of water, saying that he was afraid that something would happen to those guards.

Zhuang Ji thought about it for a while and said: "Don't panic, the issue of prison guards has been handed over to the local government, and the king is here, our army has interfered too much, and it does not meet the regulations." ”

Zhong Yitong said helplessly: "Alas, I'm afraid that Jin Shang will secretly make ghosts, and then use Wu Guanliang to deal with the princess, no, this time I will use the life of the princess and General Zhuang." ”

"Is there really something fatal?" A voice came into Zhuang Ji's ears.

He looked up, hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Doctor Qu, hello, Zhuang Ji has a lot of things to do in the past two days, hey, yes, why didn't you go to court yesterday?" ”

Qu Yuan took Zhuang Ji's hand and walked inside, then sat down separately before he spoke: "The old man accidentally caught a cold, and he heard about you and Jin Shang's gambling in the morning, so he came to ask about the truth." ”

Zhuang Ji said indifferently: "Thank you, Doctor Qu, for worrying, the reason why Ji agreed to take the head as a bet at that time was because he wanted to become Princess Quanjingyin's dream, and he had nothing else to do." ”

Qu Yuan regretted it a little late and said, "You, why don't you think about the consequences? Princess Jingyin, the old man understands, is innocent, and always thinks about poetry and distance. The old man writes poetry, but he also takes reality into account. You have to fulfill her dreams, but you also have to face reality. ”

Zhuang Ji said with relief: "Qu Lao, don't worry, who has no death in life, and who has no gambling?" Even if he loses, he doesn't fall to the ground, and now with the help of Qu Lao, he has recovered the city of Western Chu, and his life is enough to live. ”

Qu Yuan retorted and said: "Hey, you can't think like this, Jin Shang is as cunning as a fox, the old man heard that you are betting on a U-turn, he is only gambling on being laid off and returning to his hometown, this is clearly a gambling game specially set for you, why did you get into it, and you still have to admit this death?" ”

Zhong Yitong, who had been listening quietly on the side, agreed with Qu Yuan's words and asked, "What if you don't admit it?" The king himself testified that the gambling has become a dead end, and there is no possibility of changing it. ”

Qu Yuan reminded: "You, the temper of a soldier depends on strength in battle, and the decision of victory or defeat depends on your head. Now the gamble is dead, but before the results are out, people are alive. ”

Zhong Yitong said honestly: "The next official came to discuss this matter with General Zhuang, I am afraid that Jin Shang will set up a series of games again, and we have not dealt with it in advance, and I am afraid that we will really end up with a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and I can't say anything about my suffering." ”

Qu Yuan said with certainty: "You are right, the old man went to see Jin Shang in the morning, he deduced that there was something, it is estimated that he must be grasping the layout and putting you to death, so General Zhuang, you must not be unguarded, let alone indifferent." ”

Zhong Yitong saw that Zhuang Ji was speechless, and said anxiously: "General Zhuang is busy with military affairs, and the pair is like nothing after gambling, and he will work as usual." The lower officials were worried that Jin Shang would make up his mind from Wu Guanliang, which was a disaster that Princess Jingyin did not have time to deal with. ”

Zhuang Ji thanked Qu Yuan from the bottom of his heart for his support, and understood his worries about himself, in order to dispel Qu Yuan's unnecessary worries, he said: "Doctor Qu, don't worry, Princess Jingyin is a sensible person, and Zongcheng is currently the head of Xiaobu, I believe he will arrange everything." ”

Qu Yuan refused and said: "Now I don't talk about distant things, just say that Jin Shang is moving around, what should you do?" You can't just look at the dead end and be indifferent. ”

Zhong Yitong said worriedly: "Wu Guanliang is not only a spy, but also a ruthless killer, I think, we must take good care of him, and we can't let him escape again." ”

Qu Yuan praised when he heard this: "That's right, the old man suggested that you should take advantage of the advantages of the army, and the various passes should be tightly guarded, so that the opponent has no chance to take advantage of it." ”

In order to have absolute certainty of winning the gamble, Jin Shang really thought of Wu Guanliang, a spy of the Qin Army who was imprisoned online.

After pushing Qu Yuan out of the door, he took a king's guard and went to the side of the street to call for a sliding rod.

As soon as he slid the pole, someone ran to pay the gold sheet to the mountain people who carried the pole, and helped him go up to the tea house, and the runner who paid the gold sheet whispered: "Doctor Jin, the person you are looking for has arrived as promised." ”

The guards were stunned in front of the teahouse and said, "Hey, where are you going to help Dr. Jin?" Why don't you say hello to me? He hurried two steps, pushed the payer away, and helped Jin Shang himself.

Jin Shang explained to the payer: "Don't blame him, he is the king's guard, and he is usually used to speaking ill of people. As he spoke, he put aside the guards and said, "Don't go upstairs, just stand at the door and watch, and if there is any change, go upstairs and report it in time." ”

Zhong Yitong personally went to the prison warden to discuss the matter of the garrison.

The officer on duty said that the prison was not there. When I asked him where he was going, I got three words: I don't know.

He felt that things were not so simple, so he grabbed the collar of the guard and asked, "I don't know where the head of the prison is, what are you worth, what are you guarding?" ”

The watchman was not afraid, but shut up and did not spit out a word.

Zhong Yitong's temper is that the harder he encounters, the more he will gnaw him down. He saw that the guard was making a soft resistance without saying a word, so he ordered: "Okay, if you don't say it, go and find Lao Tzu immediately, if you can't find it, don't come to work again." ”

The guard on duty finally spoke: "The prison warden said, tell the little one not to leave the post, if there is no order from him, the little one will not go out to look for him." ”

Zhong Yi listened to it in unison, and looked up and down at the guard in front of him, but he couldn't see through what he was thinking, so he had to say: "Cough his father, it's really better than the current one." In this way, I won't go back and forth with you, you go to find it, don't ask you to be laid off, I will guard it, and I will be responsible for what happens. ”

The guard on duty still refused: "This is a small post arranged by the head of the prison, why do you want to occupy the magpie's nest?" The little one is really not convinced. ”

Zhong Yitong glanced at him again, thinking to himself, this is the kraft candy. He was thinking about how to deal with it, when a soldier-like man came, with a loose fist in his right hand, and touched the watchman's hand, and the watchman's head tilted and let him in.

Zhong Yitong saw it clearly, went up and grabbed the hand that was on duty, and broke it open.

The grip on duty tightened.

Zhong Yitong did not believe in evil, gritted his teeth and broke vigorously, and moved his hand to his mouth. It may be that the guard felt that if he didn't let go, his hand might suffer the pain of biting, so when it was almost time to touch Zhong Yitong's mouth, he let go of his hand.

Zhong Yi looked at it uniformly, and in the palm of the guard's hand was a golden sheet called Ying. This gold sheet is very valuable, and a gold sheet is enough for a person's living expenses for a month.

Good fellow, a little guard in the prison, who manages the entry and exit of people, can charge so much at one time.

After the secret in the guard's hand was exposed, he knelt down in front of Zhong Yitong and begged: "Master Jun, it was all a small mistake just now, a thousand mistakes, and the small fault is not to say the ...... of the prison warden."

At this time, Zhong Yitong didn't care about the warden, he pointed to the person who had just entered and asked, "Who is the person who went in?" He's quite broad, and he'll give you a gold sheet at a time. ”

The guard on duty said hesitantly, "This ...... This person who can use gold sheets, you know it, Master Jun, and it's boring to talk about it any further. ”

Zhong Yitong said sharply: "It's boring to say, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to play with you interestingly, it's still boring, say, say it quickly." ”

The guard on duty had no choice but to confess: "That person was a palace guard just now, and the little one didn't dare to offend him." The money he gave, in fact, the small ones that he couldn't get, were all given to the prison masters. ”

"Okay, what about the warden?" Zhong Yitong feels that they have become a line of work, the small one collects money, and the boss sits on the ground to share dividends.

At this time, the prison warden was drinking tea with Jin Shang on his new knot in the teahouse.

Jin Shang picked up the goblet and took a sip of tea, then gently put down the cup and said: "You have to cooperate well this time, a big game of chess played by the king himself, and on the day of the end, the old man will recommend you to meet the king, in the future, depending on your performance, anyway, Yingdu National Prison is also short of people......"

The prison warden quickly stood up and bowed to Jin Shang repeatedly, nodding his head so many times in a row, he himself couldn't remember. Then he said: "Xiaguan will go back and prepare to ensure that there will be no problems." ”

Zhong Yitong was afraid that something would go wrong, so he wanted to rush into the prison to chase the guard, but he was dragged by the guard on duty and said, "Master Jun, you can't go in, this is stipulated above." ”

Zhong Yitong twisted his two arms with force, and the guard was driven forward a few steps, but was dragged straight into the door by Zhong Yitong.

In front of them, two people wearing twig hats appeared, their heads bowed, as if they were deliberately avoiding people.

As they passed by Zhong Yitong, he pulled a man's twig cap, but he didn't pull it down. The two people quickened their pace and successfully passed the level of Zhong Yitong.

When he turned to chase after him, he was held back by the guard and couldn't move. Zhong Yitong hurriedly beat his body with his fist and said, "Let go, let go." ”

While the two of them were entangled, a man came in and shouted, "Where are the bandits who dare to sprinkle here?" ”

When the guard heard this, he knew that the great savior was coming, so he begged: "Prison warden, come and help, he wants to make trouble in it." ”

Zhong Yitong corrected and said: "Wrong, I want to go out, and you drag me and can't move." 166 Reading Network
