Chapter 790: Night Visit
readx;
After Zhu Qing came out of Chongzhen's study, he did not return to Qinglong Mansion immediately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He walked alone to the Bird Cat Villa, the place where he had embarked on the road of the Jinyi Guard, the door was now closed, and the claustrophobic path was rarely walked at night, and in the early spring night, it looked particularly bleak.
Zhu Qing walked on the path, and many past events gently emerged. It's been two years since I thought I had traveled to Daming. Being involved in these rights and wrongs made him unexpected, and he seemed so helpless, saying that modern people are very awesome, and they are even more awesome after crossing, but they did not meet the so-called golden finger after crossing. Today's achievements are all made by myself and a few masters. It's just those vain so-called national righteousness, but I still hold on stupidly.
"Hmph, why don't you marry a little daughter-in-law and live an idyllic life without asking about the world?" Zhu Qing suddenly remembered the women who walked into his life and laughed at himself. Chen Yuanyuan, Li Yufeng, Ning Er, and ......
"Hello?" Suddenly, a figure floated down from the tree and patted Zhu Qing on the shoulder, "It's so late, what are you muttering here alone?" Zhu Qing looked back, but it was Suzaku, the owner of the Bird Cat Villa.
"Oh, it's you. I just came back from the emperor's side, and I didn't feel sleepy, so I walked around casually, and I didn't want to come here. Zhu Qing said.
When Suzaku heard that Zhu Qing could walk to his home casually, a trace of indescribable relief suddenly rose in his heart.
"Oh, yes. You don't protect the queen in the harem, why did you run out? Zhu Qing looked at Suzaku and asked.
"Oh oh, I...... I'm out on patrol, and there's Lord Liu watching in the palace, so it's okay. Suzaku replied, "By the way, I heard that you were promoted to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, congratulations!" ā
Zhu Qing smiled and shook his head, "Congratulations on what." I'm worried about this. I don't want to be a commander of everything, I'm so busy fighting outside, how can I have the time and energy to take care of the affairs of the capital? ā
"Then you still entered Beijing without permission?"
"I ......"
"If you don't say it, we also know that you entered Beijing for Chen Yuanyuan and Li Yufeng." Suzaku said coldly.
"You don't know that they have a life-saving grace for me, and if they have a mistake in the capital, Kaifeng is Shanhaiguan will be in chaos." Zhu Qing explained.
"You also know that there is danger in the capital, don't you think that once the incident in the capital happens, the border will lose its meaning?" Suzaku asked.
"I didn't think of that. Just ......"
Zhu Qing wanted to explain again, but was interrupted by Suzaku, "Since you know, you should understand the emperor's hard work, the reason why he dared to do it to Wang Chengen and them tonight is because you have returned to the capital, he can rest assured." Now he has handed over the West Factory to Lord Killing Wind and handed over the Jinyi Guard to you, just hoping that you master and apprentice can help him get through the difficulties. "It seems that Suzaku already knows these things. Also, as the supreme protector of the queen, the queen naturally trusts her, and it is not difficult to know these news.
"However, you should know that Wang Chengen's forces are not so easy to subdue, especially the iron mask." Zhu Qing said.
The defeated iron mask of his subordinates has still become the biggest force threatening Zhu Qing to take over Jinyiwei.
"Actually, the Iron Mask is not unbreakable." Suzaku said suddenly, but Zhu Qing obviously didn't notice Suzaku's true meaning.
"I know, in terms of martial arts, I am naturally not under him, but how to make people's hearts surrender is what I want." Zhu Qingdao.
"I'm not talking about martial arts, it's people's hearts."
"Oh? How is it? Zhu Qing listened carefully.
"I checked Iron Mask in my early years. I should have told you about it. The Tie family was beheaded because of the case of General Yuan back then, and it was the current stepfather of Tie Mian who was ordered to execute it. At that time, Iron Mask was young, but he had already shown his talent for martial arts in the killing, and Ghost Fire wanted to take it for his own use, so he secretly knocked him unconscious, and then brought it home to raise him, and when Iron Mask became an adult, he joined Jinyiwei. These things were all derived from the mouths of those brocade killers in the process of investigation, and the ghost fire and blood washed the iron family, and since then they have been on the rise, but they have not given the brothers who were born and died with him at all. Suzaku recalled.
"So you're able to get these things out of their mouths?" Zhu Qing asked.
Suzaku nodded, "There's an old brocade guard who is very good with Iron Mask and gave me one thing." Suzaku said, took out a waist card and handed it to Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing took a look and asked, "What is this?" ā
"This is the token held by the Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of destroying the Iron Family, and those Jinyi Guards who participated in this matter engraved their names on it. You see, whose token is this? Suzaku said.
Zhu Qing looked at it through the faint moonlight and was taken aback, "Ghost fire? ā
"That's right, this is the token of the Ghost Fire. The old brocade guard who gave me the token said that when the killing was about to end, General Tie's friend brought people to the rescue, and the ghost fire ordered to retreat, but he was injured, in order not to stop it, he begged himself to stay and lure the rescuers away, at that time, the ghost fire was still very affectionate, so he ripped off his waist card and gave it to him, promising that if he was lucky enough to live, he would take the waist card to find the ghost fire. But later, after Ghost Fire became the commander of the capital, in order to cover up his bloodstained past, he secretly got rid of the brocade guards who acted with him back then. When the old brocade guard heard this, he stayed away from the capital. Suzaku said.
"I didn't expect that Ghost Fire and Iron Mask would have such an irreconcilable relationship." Zhu Qing pondered, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ā
"Did you ask me?" Suzaku asked rhetorically, and then muttered, "Anyway, you never look at me squarely." ā
"Huh? What the? Zhu Qing seemed to be a little inaudible and asked.
"I say, you can now take this waist card and find a way to get close to the Iron Mask." Suzaku said, glanced at Zhu Qing, and strode towards his villa, seemingly a little angry.
Zhu Qing had no choice but to follow, walking and walking, and suddenly two people came out of the alley, but they were those who heard Wang Chengen's group discussing.
"Who?" Suzaku, who had always been alert, drew his sword and stopped him. Zhu Qing also quickly rushed up and clicked on the two of them, and the two stopped, and Zhu Qing took the knife of the two.
"It's the guard with a sword in front of the king." Zhu Qing said to Suzaku.
"Come on, you two are not in the palace to protect the emperor in the middle of the night, what are you sneaking here for?" Suzaku asked sharply, quite like the momentum of the first female head catcher in the capital back then.
"The two adults spared their lives, and it was at the emperor's order that we came to monitor Wang Chengen."
"That's right, we just heard that Wang Chengen and Ghost Fire and others want to rebel against the dynasty tomorrow morning."
The two guards with knives in front of the emperor hurriedly explained.
"Are you telling the truth?" Suzaku asked.
"It's true!"
"What to do? Do you want to tell the emperor to take them down now, in case of tomorrow's worries? Suzaku asked Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing thought for a while, raised his hand to stop Suzaku, shook his head and said, "No, the matter hasn't been figured out yet, the factory guards are still in the hands of Wang Chengen and Ghost Fire, and now they do it, they don't want to be forced to rebel by us." You just need to tell the emperor that there will be a change in the court guards tomorrow morning, so that the emperor does not need to panic and do not need to ask. Let's just say that Qinglong only has arrangements! ā
Zhu Qing said, motioning for Suzaku to put away the sword, and after Zhu Qing returned the knife to the two guards with the knife, the two Zhu Qing and Suzaku clasped their fists and responded, "The last general understands!" ā
With a wave of Zhu Qing's hand, the two disappeared into the night.
"What are your plans?" After the two guards left, Suzaku asked.
"I think I should pay a visit to Iron Mask." Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked out of the alley.
"Huh?" Seeing that Zhu Qing didn't make it clear and leaving, Suzaku pouted at Zhu Qing's back, and turned to leave.
Zhu Qing came to the Iron Mask Mansion and gently knocked on the door of the Iron Mask, and when the little guy who opened the door saw that it was Zhu Qing, he was startled, and he wanted to close the door casually, but Zhu Qing stretched out his hand to block it.
"You...... What do you want? The little guy was frightened.
"I want to meet your family." Zhu Qing smiled slightly.
"My family is not here." As soon as the little guy was scared, he revealed the whereabouts of Iron Mask.
"Hmph, he wasn't anymore just now, and he must have just been lying down now, right?" Zhu Qing knew that Tie Mian had just returned from the factory mansion.
"Since you know that my adults sleep, why do you still not know etiquette so much? Can't come back tomorrow? The little guy talked about Zhu Qing.
"The stakes are high, and we can't wait." Zhu Qing said, and he was going to break through.
"Someone! The green dragon has broken in! "How can that little guy stop Zhu Qing? He screamed as he stepped back.
The cry quickly alarmed Iron Mask, who was not yet asleep. As soon as Tie Mian heard the word Qinglong, he slammed the bed board in anger and kicked up, put on his clothes, lifted the gun at the head of the bed and rushed out.
"In the middle of the night, who is spreading wild here?" Iron Mask rushed out and asked knowingly.
"General Tie, it's getting dark, it's time to get up." Zhu Qinglang said.
"Hmph, it turned out to be Qinglong. What advice do you have for trespassing on the Iron Mask Mansion? Iron Mask sneered, and a dark iron spear pointed angrily at Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing was unmoved, opened the broadsword and spear of the guards of the Iron Mask Mansion with his bare hands, and walked straight to the front of Iron Mask, "I want to ask General Tie alone about something important." ā
Tie Mian looked at Zhu Qing and didn't feel murderous, and after looking carefully, Zhu Qing didn't bring the Ming Fourteen Potential, so he was relieved in his heart. He then waved his hand to the left and right hands, signaling them to stand back.
"This way, please!" Tie Mian said coldly, leading Zhu Qing to a pavilion in the courtyard, and did not ask his subordinates to watch tea.
Zhu Qing smiled and followed.
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it here. Tie Mian didn't have a good airway, so he casually poured a cup of tea and drank it, it was cold.
"Who! Why is tea cold? "Iron noodles are really eggs and stones, in the middle of the night, can the tea in the gazebo be hot?
Under the angry drinking, a small servant hurriedly ran over and took the teapot away to change the hot tea.
After the little guy left, Zhu Qing didn't say anything, and immediately took out the waist card that Suzaku had just given him, and when he looked at it, he was surprised!
When the little guy came over with hot tea, Tie Mian lightly ordered, "Show tea to Lord Qinglong." ā
Zhu Qing smiled slightly, and the two chatted like this until the sky was slightly bright.
