Chapter 34: Defection
Xie Hong was at a loss of words, and stood in place in embarrassment for a while, but he didn't dare to touch Bai Muye. He didn't move, Bai Muye didn't move, and the surrounding courtyards didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that if he moved the evil star slightly, he would pinch Huang Qingfeng to death.
The atmosphere was at a stalemate.
The public nursing home is also you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.
In the middle of the night, there was a sound of "dangchang", which broke the silence in the room. It turned out to be a nursing home that moved slightly and accidentally kicked a copper kettle at his feet.
Xie Hong suddenly opened his mind, and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "You all go out!" β
Seeing that everyone hesitated, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go out and go outβcarry out the dead!" No one is allowed to come in. β
Bai Muye tugged at the corners of his mouth - count you as acquaintances!
When everyone was finished, he threw Huang Qingfeng in his hand towards the door, and Huang Qingfeng spun out like a spinning top.
Huang Qingfeng stood at the door and shook a few times, finally holding on to the door and standing firmly, and closed the door from the outside with a very eye-catching look, which provoked Xie Hong to scold angrily in his heart!
He blinked his eyes again, but saw that Bai Muye had already pressed towards him.
Bai Muye took a step forward, Xie Hong took a step back, and a cold sweat had already appeared in his palm.
"Hero, do you want benefits? I'll give, whatever you say, I'll give it! Xie Hong pulled out his chips as he stepped back.
"Xie Tingshi, I only ask you a few things, and give me a truthful answer, otherwise I ......" Bai Muye's calm voice came to Xie Hong's ears.
Xie Hong nodded hurriedly, but he "chuckled" in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good.
"Qi Shanxing came to you, what did you say?"
Really...... It's a terrible question!
He asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" β
"Less nonsense!" Bai Muye was a little impatient, he was worried that Xie Hong was cheating, he just wanted to ask about Qi Shanxing, the sooner the better!
Seeing his uncertain expression, Xie Hong no longer dwelled on the matter, and instead asked, "I told you, what's the benefit?" β
"I'll let you go away and fly high."
"What if you don't say it? Do you dare to kill me as an assassin? β
Bai Muye sneered: "Did you forget Xie Tingshi, your house deed and title deed are all in my hands, I make these public, what will happen to you...... Would you like to give it a try? β
"Despicable!" Xie Hong gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Don't make you look like an innocent victim!
Bai Muye rolled his eyelids disapplauded.
"Say it! My patience is limited! β
Xie Hong hesitated for a long time, and then asked Bai Muye again to confirm: "I said, do you really let me go?" β
"Put!"
"Okay, I say!" Xie Hong licked his dry lips and finally made up his mind.
Since I didn't want to stay in this state for a long time, I will leave tomorrow, so what does it matter if I say it?
"Qi Fushu came back early yesterday morning and called me over, saying that King Xia was in the hands of the Tang Army, and there was no possibility of turning over, and he wanted to support King Xia's adopted son Dou Jiatian as the new king."
What? The history books lied to me again?
Didn't it say that good deeds are the heroes who overcame the public opinion and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty?
Originally, he was only worried that Qi Shanxing would have side effects, but he never expected him to go against history! What the hell is this thing doing!
Did I break my brain?
Sin! Sin!
Xie Hong continued: "It seems that he has already made up his mind, and he just asked the hundred officials to go over, but he just informed him. I have a low status, so naturally it is impossible to talk much. However, I see that King Xia's subordinates are already at the end of their strong crossbows, and they are embarrassed to take on the task, and it is a matter of time before the Tang army breaks through the city, so I simply ...... it."
So you're going to run away?
You have a keen sense of smell, uncle!
"When is he going to bring the new king to power...... Enthronement? β
"He said as soon as possible, however ......"
"And yet what?"
"However, there seems to be a disagreement with the queen Cao."
"Cao? What did she say? β
"She is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and beg the Tang Dynasty to let the King of Xia return safely, but she is not allowed to shoot at the servants."
Bai Muye suddenly felt that his brain was a little unbright!
This Nima is not right!
Qi Shanxing kept saying from beginning to end that he wanted to catch King Qin in exchange for Dou Jiande, and he was so loyal that he didn't want it, but now he suddenly came out like this?
Or, did he feel that he couldn't save Dou Jiande, so he insisted on supporting the new monarch and vowing to fight with the Tang Dynasty to the end?
β¦β¦
Wrong!
He once wanted to burn King Qin to death!
That fire, did he change his mind temporarily?
Or did he have long been wishful thinking about usurping the throne, and that fire was just a small episode in his ambitions?
"A few days ago, he took someone to save King Xia, whose idea was it?"
"It is said that he took the initiative to bring it up."
Bai Muye was even more puzzled.
What the hell is this Qi good deed!
He looked out the window with a gloomy face, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "What else do you want to tell me?" β
Xie Hong shook his head again and again, and then said, "What do you want to know, I can go to the palace to investigate!" β
Bai Muye looked at him in surprise - what?
Only then did he realize that Xie Hong now has answers to his questions, and he is too honest to speak!
It turned out that Xie Hong had already seen Bai Muye's face different, combined with the question he asked, and then thought about Chijin, who had never been seen in that place, and suddenly had a rough guess about his identity, and there were ripples in his heart.
Did the Tang King send someone into Zhaozhou?
But this man already knows my family background, and if he continues to stay here......
Yangzhou, a strange place thousands of miles away, compared with Zhaozhou, which has been a native of the government for more than ten years, Xie Hong is worthy of being an old fritter who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he made a decision in a blink of an eye.
"No matter what Bai Langjun wants to do, I will do my best to assist!"
Ha?
Xie Hong took out Bai Muye's money bag and presented it to Bai Muye with both hands: "Bai Langjun's gold, all of it will be returned!" House...... Bai Langjun and his family live there, and they can live as long as they want! β
it?
"I, Xie Hong, am loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and I was threatened by the chaotic army before, and it is really helpless to serve the new master! Now that the King of Xia has fallen, the people's desire is the King of Tang, but Qi Shanxing wants to regenerate branches! I didn't want to be with him anymore, so I decided to leave Zhaozhou with my family, and I swore that I would not want to be with the thieves! β
Speaking of indignation, Xie Hong puffed out his chest, and his iron-clad appearance was moving.
"Now that the Tang King is about to recover Yuzhou, how can I, Xie Hong, stay out of the matter? I can't go! I can't abandon the people of Zhaozhou in fire and water! I will do my best for the Tang King, return me to the Tang Dynasty, and prosper forever! β
Bai Muye almost applauded!
This level of speech, you are really a thorn in history!
He understood that Xie Hong saw his intention to come to Zhaozhou, and he didn't plan to leave. He wants to ask himself for credit, and then after the change of ownership in Zhaozhou, he can continue to guard this acre and three points of land, and he can hold on to money!
Awesome my uncle!
If you want to say that you are slippery, you have to be old and treacherous!
