Chapter Seventy-Two: The Thief Couldn't Help Himself
At dawn, the barracks began to get busy, and the soldiers were supposed to get up in the early hours of the morning to prepare for the march, but due to the riots last night, Qian Buli specially ordered the soldiers to rest for a while.
Of course, the assassin was not caught, but last night, Cheng Da, the captain of the personal guard, who was inseparable from the money, ignored the obstruction of the patrol team, risked his life to break into the handsome tent, and used his life to guarantee Sun Zhongde's innocence! Cheng Da has already made mental preparations, but there are two results, one is that the commander is furious, sees himself as Sun Zhongde's comrade, and is likely to execute himself in a serious way; The second is that the commander listened to his statement and gave Sun Zhongde a chance to discern; It's a pity that Cheng Da finally got a result that made him dazed and at a loss, the commander was not angry, and praised him for his devotion and courage, but the official document instructing the traitor Sun Zhongde to be hunted down everywhere should still be sent as it should be.
Cheng Da was unwilling and wanted to continue to confess, but found that Her Royal Highness the princess and the lord showed impatient looks, so he had to retreat in a huff. However, Cheng Da did not have a trace of resentment towards Qian in his heart, and if he changed to another commander, he could be executed just for the crime of breaking into the manager's account!
But when Cheng Da heard from his old boss General Du that the commander had seen Sun Zhongde's assassination with his own eyes, Cheng Da was stunned, on the one hand, he hated Sun Zhongde's behavior, on the other hand, he felt sorry for his old friend, and at the same time there was a little doubt, it stands to reason that Sun Zhongde would not do such a thing, who was he coerced? Once the idea was generated, it took root in his heart, Cheng Da was silent on the surface, but he secretly stared at everyone around him with suspicion, of course, except for the commander.
Qian Buli slowly opened his eyes, he slept very uncomfortably this night, last night he left Ji Shengqing on the grounds of an assassin outside, but Qian Buli is not a person who is in a hurry, at least before Ji Shengqing's heart defense is not broken, he will not be in a hurry, so Qian Buli let Ji Shengqing sleep on his bed, and he dealt with it on the chair all night.
"Your Excellency, you're awake." Zhou Yizheng, who was guarding Qian Bu's side, said in a low voice.
Qian Buli nodded: "How is Your Highness sleeping?" ”
"Your Highness sleeps peacefully." Zhou Yizheng smiled: "She snored for a while last night." ”
"Maybe it's because my bed isn't comfortable." Qian Buli also smiled, leaving Ji Shengqing is purposeful, the pursuit of a girl must pay attention to step-by-step means, Qian Buli has to lift the veil of Ji Shengqing's shyness layer by layer, this kind of thing will have a second time if there is a first time, and if there are more times, you can naturally do what you need to do.
Zhou Yizheng handed over Qian Buli's saber, Qian Buli put on it and hung up the saber, but when he turned around, he swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and when there was a bang, the teacup was broken. A low voice sounded in the inner room of the handsome tent, and then Ji Shengqing's voice came out: "Ke Lan, you let them all go out, I'm going to change my clothes." "Qian Buli asked Ke Lan and Ke Li to come over last night, on the one hand, to let Ji Shengqing relax, and on the other hand, to maintain Ji Shengqing's reputation.
Qian Buli stuck out his tongue and whispered to Zhou Yizheng: "Let's withdraw!" ”
Zhou Yizheng never expected that the Lord Commander would also make such a stubborn attitude, he almost didn't laugh out loud, he bit his lip with a smile and walked out of the handsome tent behind Qian Buli.
Du Bing was wandering outside the tent, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhou Yizheng's strange expression, but he didn't ask more, just handed Zhou Yizheng a look, and Zhou Yizheng retreated to the side knowingly.
"My lord, we're pulling out... So what do they do? Du Bing said softly.
"They??" Qian Buli was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to what Du Bing was talking about: "What do you want to do?" Qian Buli was a little hesitant about the handling of those sentries who did not belong to the army system of Snow Plains City, they saw with their own eyes that they had taken their cavalry to the valley, and once the killing of the young knight and his entourage was revealed, it would definitely involve themselves. It would be much safer if he got rid of those sentinels, even if he was bitten by someone, he could quibble and deny it, and the other party would not be able to come up with strong evidence anyway. But if he really did this, he had his own concerns about money, and he was afraid that his reputation would be damaged. Throughout the ages, every person in a position of authority who is well versed in power has to find all kinds of justifiable reasons when killing someone, or else he will try his best to dissociate himself. The first thing that the superior has to learn is hypocrisy, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
Du Bing made a gesture of raising and dropping his hand, and then stared at Qian Buli.
Qian Buli showed a hesitant look: "Isn't it? For no reason... ”
"My lord, they knew that Sir was burning and killing and plundering but didn't tell us, they are obviously in league with that Sir and are not good things!" Du Bing saw that Qian Buli was hesitating, and he was really a little anxious: "My lord, I don't know how many heroes and bad things are bad in the hands of such little people, you can't be indecisive!" ”
Qian Buli smiled: "You misunderstood what I meant." ”
"But... But didn't you say it's bad? ”
"I'm going to focus on the second sentence." Qian Buli searched left and right, and immediately his eyes stopped on Ji Shengqing's carriage.
"What do you mean... Du Bing's eyes suddenly widened: "For no reason??" ”
"That's right!" Qian Buli walked forward as he spoke, until he walked to Ji Shengqing's carriage, jumped up, and there was not much time, Qian Buli got out of the car with a full stuff around his waist.
"What are you doing, sir?" Du Bing looked at the money stupidly.
"Shh Qian Buli raised his index finger, then walked to Du Bing's side, pulled Du Bing into a corner, and quickly took out a handful of gold and silver jewelry from his waist and stuffed it into Du Bing's hand: "You go and give these things to them, just say that I gave them, let them shut up, and they must not spread the news of yesterday." ”
"Your Excellency, how can you trust those people to keep their promises?" Du Bing, who has always been smart, didn't turn this corner.
"Nonsense! If I really wanted to buy them, I wouldn't use His Highness's stuff! Qian Buli said lightly: "When His Highness says that his ornaments have been stolen, you will... ”
