Chapter 691: Ordinary Mortals

At this time, Erben found something from the side, it was a red rope, the thumb was thick, and it was knotted one by one, the knot was a little big, and the distance of the knot was about the same, and the Erben Taoist looked at Shen Leng with the red rope: "Senior brother, what is this?" Why does my face turn redder when I see it? ”

Shen Leng glanced back, but he didn't know what it was.

He didn't know, but he had his mature thinking: "It should be a torture instrument." ”

The second Daoist handed the red rope to Shen Leng: "Then you use this to force him!" ”

Shen Leng took the red rope over and looked at it, and felt that this thing should be better than the belly pocket just now, after all, this is a real rope, he carried the rope close to Cao Chun, and he didn't know why Cao Chun, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hid back after seeing this rope, Shen Leng knew from Cao Chun's reaction that he had guessed correctly, this was a torture instrument!

The second Taoist came over: "This rope can't be knotted for no reason, so this knot should be useful, and with my wisdom I guess where this thing should be stuffed." ”

He circled around Cao Chun: "Nostrils! ”

Shen Leng: "Okay! ”

He strangled Cao Chun's face with a rope, and the second Taoist moved the position of the red rope, and then found that his speculation should be wrong.

"It's not the nostrils, it can only be a knotted place, and the distance between the two is relatively large."

Shen Leng said: "I know." ”

He began to pull the rope and rub it back and forth on Cao Chun's face, the knot went in and out of Cao Chun's nostrils, rubbed back and forth, and sometimes rubbed into his mouth, Gollum went in and Gollum came out, Cao Chun's lips were swollen back and forth, and the bald skin and nose of his lips were the same, I don't know why Cao Chun didn't hold on to it and spit it out, lying on that big gulp.

"Recruit, I recruit ......"

Shen Leng threw the red rope to Erben: "I'll show the people of Tingwei Mansion what this thing is in a while, maybe they understand." ”

Erben snorted, carried the red rope and walked out of the house, and it didn't take long for a burst of laughter to come from outside, among which the black-eyed laughter was the loudest.

Cao Chun knelt there and said, "I don't know who masterminded killing Ye Liuyun and Han Zhaozhi, I really don't know the truth, I only know a few hiding places, let me tell you, you just go and find it...... I don't know where the elder is now, I can only wait for the elder to contact me, but a person like you who makes trouble with the elder will naturally notice it, and no one will contact me in the future, if the elder doesn't want to show up, no one in this world can easily find him. ”

Shen Leng felt that Mu Zhaotong did have such an ability, so he hummed and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Mu Zhaotong?" ”

"No, it doesn't matter."

Cao Chun coughed and replied: "I was born in a poor family, and I ran out of money when I went to Chang'an to take the exam. ”

Shen Leng didn't suspect anything, after all, Mu Zhaotong had indeed funded many people, he got up and prepared to leave: "Write down all the addresses you know, and also, do you know where the person who holds the truth in Fengning Guan is, and what is his identity?" ”

"His real name is Zhen Killing Shang, and he is the son of Zhen Xuanyuan."

Cao Chun simply said it, he was really afraid that Shen Leng would torture him again.

Shen Leng went out and handed over the person to the black eye and asked him to send him to the Tingwei Mansion, and then walked out of Jin Xiufang to prepare to go to the next place, he didn't have much time, and soon the palace would get the news, although he appeared in the costume of a Taoist, His Majesty should guess that it was him who came back, if he couldn't find the Zhen Killing Shang tonight, he might not have a chance to avenge Ye Liuyun and them.

The people who wanted to kill Han Zhaozhi all died on the farm, but the people who wanted to kill Ye Liuyun were still alive, which was why Shen Leng came back.

Outside the door of Jinxiufang, as soon as Shen Leng went out, he saw the second Taoist seriously asking Yun Hongsleeve not far away, the second Taoist looked harmless, carrying the red rope and asked: "They all laugh at me, but what is this?" ”

There was a faint chill in Yun Hong's eyes, and the black eyes on the side saw that something was going to happen, so he hurriedly went over and pulled the two Daoists aside, nodded and apologized to Yun Hongsleeves, the two Daoists didn't know Yun Hongsleeves, but the black eyes were naturally familiar, if Yun Hongsleeves thought that the two Daoists were a pervert, she made a move, and the martial arts of the two Daoists might not be able to stop it.

"Even if you still cover your face with a black scarf, don't others know who you are?"

Yun Hongsleeve glanced at Shen Leng.

Shen Leng replied: "You have to pretend to be pretended, thank you Yun, I still have something to do, don't leave it at that." ”

Yun Hongsleeve said slowly: "I said it, Ye Liuyun is my friend. ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "It's better for everyone Yun not to leave Xiaohuaihe, if you leave here, the movement will become very big." ”

Yun Hongsleeves frowned: "Isn't it big enough for you to come back?" ”

Shen Leng: "I don't care. ”

Yun Hongsleeve didn't understand: "You don't care?" You are the sole leader of an officer in an important position, and your arbitrary actions may make all this come to naught, and what you once fought for will disappear, and there may even be your life. ”

"My first goal in life was to raise pigs."

Shen Leng replied: "I think you should be able to make a lot of money by raising pigs, and there is meat to eat, but later the goal is bigger, and people will always adjust their goals as they grow." ”

Yun Hongsleeve didn't expect Shen Leng to say this, but he was still curious and couldn't help asking, "What is the goal in the future?" ”

Shen Leng replied seriously: "Raise two pigs." ”

Yun Hongsleeve: "......"

What a smart woman she is, many of Daning's national policies actually stem from her advice to His Majesty, the woman standing in front of Shen Leng should be the most legendary woman in Daning's founding for hundreds of years, even more legendary than Concubine Zhen, this woman can be an Anbang and a martial artist can roam the rivers and lakes, she is from a humble background but has everyone's bearing, the most important thing is that she knows the emperor very well, just talking about the emperor's thoughts on Daning's governance, she knows the emperor better than Concubine Zhen.

So Shen Leng's seemingly absurd and uninhibited answer made her react keenly to something, she looked at Shen Leng seriously, and there was a little distress in her eyes.

"Is it worth it?"

She asked.

Shen Leng was stunned.

What he wants to do, his thoughts, his goals, maybe even the tea master has not seen through, everyone around him has not seen through, far-sighted like an emperor, thoughtful like Han Zhaozhi, these people would not have thought that Shen Leng came back not only to vent his anger to Han Zhaozhi and Ye Liuyun, but also to have a deeper purpose, this purpose, Shen Leng will not tell anyone, but at this moment he saw it in Yun Hongsleeve's eyes, Yun Hongsleeve understood his thoughts.

"Is it worth it?"

Yun Hongsleeve asked again.

Shen Leng didn't know how to answer, and he didn't want to answer.

"They're treating you so well, aren't they?"

Yun Hongsleeve shook his head slightly, and the two of them stood at the door of the Red Sleeve Building, only the two of them, and the others avoided it.

For the first time, Yun Hongsleeve felt that a man's choice was so distressing.

"You don't know who you are, you don't know why someone will arrange something for you, you feel that the people around you are too good to you, and this kind of goodness may not be simply because of yourself, you can't find the answer, no one tells you the answer, even the closest person to you will not tell you the answer, such as Mr. Shen."

Shen Leng's face turned slightly pale, because he had already determined that the woman in front of him who had seen him for the first time had seen through his mind, and he had no intersection with Yun Hongsleeve before, but at this moment he became the one who understood him best, so he was a little scared and a little scared, and he didn't know why he was afraid.

Yun Hongsleeve said in a somewhat sad tone: "You don't know anything, but because of this, you are afraid, you don't know, because they want to protect you and don't want you to be hurt again, but you find that doing so is very likely to bring very bad consequences to the people you care about, and if they continue to help you, you may face a huge disaster." ”

Shen Leng couldn't speak, only shocked.

Before he left Chang'an City, His Majesty summoned him alone, and His Majesty told him to tell Mr. Shen and Zhuang Yong not to go too far, and to transfer Zhuang Yong back from Qiuli...... This is a deterrent from His Majesty.

Shen Leng knew that if Mr. Shen and the others really didn't understand His Majesty's anger, then His Majesty might really make some harsh decisions in the future.

"You want to let go."

Yun Hongsleeve continued: "You came back, first of all, to help Han Zhaozhi and Ye Liuyun get angry, it seems that you are careful not to let people know that you are back, but you know very well that as long as you come back, Your Majesty will definitely know, not just Your Majesty...... Tomorrow morning, there may be people who participate in your performance to stand up, you have resisted the decree several times, and this time you have returned to Beijing privately, Your Majesty will not kill you, but will also beat you to the end, making you a common man. ”

Shen Leng still didn't speak.

Yun Hongsleeve sighed slightly: "They are to protect you, so they make a choice, they would rather be punished by His Majesty to help you, and you also have your own trade-offs, you would rather give up your fame and give up high-ranking officials...... But General Shen, are you stupid? If you do this, won't all their efforts be in vain? ”

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "If I am not in the court, have no fame and fortune, and have no officials, they don't have to do anything for me, besides...... I may not have been a person who pursued these things wholeheartedly from the beginning, and for me, the title of Marquis of General Armor is better than living a dull life with the people I care about. ”

Yun Hongsleeve was silent for a long time, and nodded: "Understood." ”

Shen Leng came back, just to let the emperor remove him from all his official positions, he was gambling, betting that the emperor would not kill him, as long as he didn't kill him, he would be able to end all the threats to the people he cared about, he was not a general, he was no longer leading troops, what else did Mr. Shen need for them to arrange? He wants to be an ideal ordinary man, who rises at sunrise and rests at sunset.

"You say you're not a person who is bent on pursuing these things, but if you lose them, will you be reluctant?"

Yun Hongsleeve suddenly asked.

Shen Leng stood there, thought carefully, and replied truthfully: "Yes, after all, that's what I worked hard for." ”

Yun Hongsleeve's tone returned to the plain she was used to: "If a man has no ambition and is an ordinary man, even if the stir-fry tastes better, even if he is in love with his wife, even if he has both children under his knees, but he is mediocre and inactive, inaction is useless, men are useless, and there are too many shames." ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "Do you really think that Daning can't do without me?" People like me have a lot of people, there are fierce generals in the army, and there are thousands of wise ministers in the court, and I am really just an ordinary man. ”

At this moment, the door of the Red Sleeve Building creaked open, and a voice came out with anger.

"Get out of here!"
