Chapter 358: Questioning
readx;
A storm gradually recedes in the night of Fireworks Alley, and will soon be forgotten by those crazy men and women who only want to come and go, at most it is just to add some after-dinner conversations, such things happen every day in the capital, this is an era of war, this is just a farce of the rivers and lakes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhu Qing only cares about one question about this matter, why is it Nadamon, as for the actions of the army, he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't need to know, because these are all under his control, if it weren't for him, the army would have been devastated in the capital, after all, the soldiers who entered Beijing this time were all the kings of the army, and they were Li Zicheng's right-hand man. Now that it's finally safe, as for the matter of visiting the kiln, let Li Zicheng justify himself in front of the emperor tomorrow.
"Suzaku-sama will let her come to see me immediately after dealing with the affairs of Baihualou." Zhu Qing, who returned to the Bird Cat Villa, was a little impatient, and he took a big sip of a bowl of water.
"Yes, General." A brocade guard took the order.
"What happened?" Ning Er woke up in the middle of the night, she naturally knew that Zhu Qing must have just come back from going out to run errands. She rarely asks about Zhu Qing's whereabouts, but Zhu Qing's expression this time is a little different from usual.
"I just came back from Baihualou." Zhu Qing replied and poured another half bowl of water.
Ning Er saw that the water in the pot was almost poured by Zhu Qing, so she hurriedly added it to him.
Seeing that Ning'er didn't respond, Zhu Qing stared at Ning'er and explained, "I'll go to Baihualou for business." ”
Ning Er smiled slightly, gently held Zhu Qing's hand, looked at him tenderly, and said, "Where do you want to go?" Of course I know you're going to the office. I'm just worried that your face is so ugly. Didn't things go well? ”
Zhu Qing shook his head, "The enemies are all subdued, it's just that they are not ordinary people." Zhu Qing said, glanced at Ning'er, and paused.
"Oh?" Ning Er read a little embarrassment in Zhu Qing's eyes, "Maybe I shouldn't ask." Ning'er said and was about to get up and leave.
Zhu Qing grabbed Ning'er's hand and stood up, "No, you should know, because, they are Nadamon ......"
When Ning Er heard this, she felt that her heart was struck, "That Damon? She knew that a while ago, Nadamon had just acted, and was wiped out by Zhu Qing in Kaifeng, if it wasn't for Ning'er's intercession, those brothers would definitely not be able to go back, and later when they went back, it was still difficult to escape the fate of being killed.
Zhu Qing nodded, he let go of Ning'er's hand, paced a few steps, and said, "Your brother has started to act again." ”
When Ning'er heard this, her head was in a trance, what she was most worried about was such news, her hometown and her lover were enemies of each other for their respective beliefs and glory.
"You killed them all?" Ning'er asked, you know, those Damon are all Ning'er's clansmen, and they have the same blood relationship.
Zhu Qing knew that for Ning Er, this was a cruel answer, he nodded, "They assassinated the ...... of the imperial court's peace group" Zhu Qing paused, this is a good reason, no one can destroy the overall situation of the imperial court's negotiations, at this time, even a small intruder can become an excuse for Li Zicheng to tear up the peace. But Zhu Qing also knew that this was not the most sufficient reason for Ning'er. "They're going to die when they go back." Zhu Qing added.
This answer made Ning'er silent, she had already seen such a bloody lesson, these Nadamon who came out to carry out the mission, whether they succeeded or not, they had only one fate, death!
After a long silence, Ning'er asked, "What can you do for you?" ”
Zhu Qing turned around and grabbed Ning Er's hand again, "Protect yourself." Zhu Qing was most worried that Ning'er, who was caught in the middle, would not be able to bear it and would do something stupid.
Ning Er leaned on Zhu Qing's shoulder, this is the man she has entrusted her life, no matter how busy and tired he is, he still has a place for himself in his heart, which can make people feel down-to-earth.
"You'll protect me, won't you?" Ning and the others asked softly.
Zhu Qing didn't return, but just held Ning Er tightly with his hand.
"Report to the general, Suzaku-sama asks to see ......"
Before the words fell, the door had been pushed open, Suzaku broke in, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhu Qing hugging Ning'er, which made Suzaku extremely embarrassed and a little disappointed, although she swore that she would no longer love this man.
Zhu Qing and Ning Er were also shocked by Suzaku's sudden convening, the two of them quickly let go, and the three of them looked at each other in embarrassment for a long time. Ning Er smiled awkwardly, "You talk about business, I'll go and add tea to you." With that, Ning Er walked out of Zhu Qing's room and walked past Suzaku, both of whom smiled unnaturally.
"Tell me, what's going on?" After Ning'er left, Zhu Qing spoke first, he knew that he couldn't think of the love of children like in the past, and those feelings that were still messy had to be cut with a knife.
Suzaku also soothed his emotions and said, "Report...... Report to your lordship, nineteen assassins were killed in this incident, none of the people in Baihualou were injured, and two people were injured in the invasion army, but there was no major problem. I have sent someone to escort them back to the lodge, and arrangements have been made. ”
Zhu Qing nodded, "Well done." ”
"Lord Xie's praise." Suzaku replied.
"By the way, there are no brothers killed or injured in the Suzaku Gate, right?" Zhu Qing asked with concern.
"Thanks to the general's timely rescue, the Suzaku Gate was not damaged." Suzaku replied.
"That's good, the Suzaku Gate has done a great job this time, by the way, how about the news that I asked you to inquire about?" Zhu Qing remembered the main purpose of this mission.
"All the questions have been figured out." Suzaku said, handing a letter to Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing took a look and nodded, the questions he wanted to know were all listed on it, and the answers were taken out from Liu Zongmin's mouth through Miss Xiangyu's beauty trick.
"Hmph, the Chuang army really has one heart, I see how long they can pretend this time!" Zhu Qing nodded with satisfaction while watching.
Suddenly, his face changed, he stopped, glared at Suzaku, and asked sharply, "What's the matter with the last sentence?" Did I say anything like that? ”
Suzaku knew what Zhu Qing was referring to, and she had already expected that she would make the decision without permission, and she would definitely anger Zhu Qing, but she still decided to do it. Suzaku plucked up his courage and said to Zhu Qing, "My lord, the last general thinks that it will be a matter of time before Wu Sangui is going to rebel, if Liu Zongmin moves Chen Yuanyuan, wouldn't he just borrow a knife to kill someone?" It turned out that this was a ploy by Suzaku, she thought that Zhu Qing would praise her, but no, if it was someone else, if it was someone else, maybe Suzaku would be greatly appreciated for this trick, but here, in front of Zhu Qing, it was undoubtedly looking for scolding.
"Slap" Zhu Qing slapped the letter on the desk, panting and shouting, "Nonsense! ”
Suzaku had never seen Zhu Qing have such a big temper, she knew that she had done something wrong, but it was too late, so she had to wait quietly for the punishment from Zhu Qing.
"I just want to share the general's worries." Suzaku said softly, with a little choked in her voice, if it was an ordinary person scolding her, she would naturally remain silent, after all, she was also the female catcher of the famous town capital, how could she be frightened? But this person is Zhu Qing, but this man scolds himself, Suzaku is scared and more aggrieved at the same time, she felt aggrieved from the moment she entered the door just now, and now it finally broke out.
Zhu Qing glanced at Suzaku and knew that he was really speaking too loudly, Suzaku Gate had just completed the task of defending it brilliantly, and as Suzaku said, this was indeed a good plan, and he also knew that this day would come sooner or later. But Suzaku made such a fuss, which really made Zhu Qing a little worried.
"I understand your intentions, but have you thought about it? Now is an extraordinary period, the negotiations have not yet come to a conclusion, if Liu Zongmin really wants to make something happen and force Wu Sangui to rebel, won't we be suffering from the enemy? Zhu Qing said bitterly to Zhu Que, and after a while, Zhu Qing continued, "Besides, we can't sacrifice Miss Chen to achieve our goals. Obviously, Zhu Qing's tone was much softer, and there must have been a lot of personal feelings mixed with it.
"Zhu Qing, I'm doing this for your good, don't you understand? Miss Chen has refused to talk to you again and again, why do you still protect her everywhere? That's right, I did have selfish intentions when I asked Xiangyu to reveal the news of Miss Chen, and I also asked myself if I should do this, is it too selfish? However, struggle is struggle, there will be sacrifice if there is a struggle, if one day, you need me Suzaku for you or for Jinyiwei, for the Ming sacrifice, I Suzaku will never complain. The deepest confession was just a heart-to-heart confession, and Suzaku's sincere words made Zhu Qing fall silent. He knew that Liu Zongmin and Wu Sangui had historical grievances, and knew that day would come sooner or later, but he was really not ready, and perhaps he was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who knew what the arrival of that moment meant. He didn't want to condemn Suzaku too much, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a trace of affection for Chen Yuanyuan, maybe he wouldn't be so angry just now, he would gladly accept this fact like a real conspirator.
"I know. That's why I'm worried, worried about Daming, worried about Jinyiwei, worried about you. All Zhu Qing's worries were just that Suzaku's actions were one step ahead of his plan, and that step was destined by history, but what he wanted to do now was to change history.
"It would be nice if one day you got rid of that 'guys'." Only an emotional woman can say emotional words, and Suzaku at this moment has put aside the position relationship, perhaps, she really can't let go of it in her heart.
Two people have a lot of words to silence each other, and that's one sentence.
"Report to the general, Baihualou has found that an assassin has absconded!" A voice broke the silence.
When Zhu Qing and Suzaku heard this, they were all taken aback, this is not a simple piece of information, it is a taboo for Jinyiwei to keep his mouth alive!
Zhu Qing and Suzaku rushed out of the door one after another.
"Tell me what's going on?" Suzaku asked, this is the mission carried out by Suzaku Gate, and it is also a major mistake of Suzaku Gate.
"When the brothers of the Suzaku Gate were checking the scene, they saw someone running away from the window of the Dark Incense Pavilion, and the brothers of the Suzaku Gate had already chased them out." The one who came to report answered.
"Do you know who it is?" Zhu Qing asked.
"Although I can't see my face clearly, I am dressed exactly like the assassins, so I should be the same group!"
"Tell me to go down, and all the Suzaku Gates will be dispatched to track down the absconding assassins." Suzaku ordered.
Zhu Qing hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, "No, the top priority is to protect the safety of personnel, he can lurk in the Dark Incense Pavilion for so long, he must already know the conversation between Xiangyu and Liu Zongmin." Go to Hutong No. 36, Chengdong Village! ”
When Suzaku heard this, he pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, General!" Suzaku led people to Hutong No. 36 in Chengdong Village.
There are two women living there!
