Chapter 55: Treacherous Calculations
In the darkness, there was a sharp pain in the palm of the hand, as if something was tearing the palm violently. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I woke up from my dream, and I looked under my arm by the flickering wind lantern and candle on the wall of the corridor outside the prison. The fire monkey called "General Kangxiu" widened his eyes and hugged my palm and devoured it, my left palm was dripping with blood, and when I dragged my tired body to the door of the prison to take a closer look, the rotten flesh on my palm exploded, and the blood splashed everywhere. Enraged, I kicked the bloodthirsty and greedy fire monkey, his body slamming into the stone wall to the west like a broken kite, and then with blood and screams, the jailer's footsteps and the fire monkey's corpse slowly landed in front of me.
"What's going on?" A handful of old jailers in a green coat and soap robe asked, his cheeks sunken, his stubble gray, his damp eyes down, and when he saw my bloody hand, his eyes welled up with a slightly dull surprise, and he waved his hand and scratched his chin and shouted violently, "Someone, something has happenedβ"
β¦β¦
The next day, I was temporarily taken out of the cell by Qin Qiong and sent to Wu Xize's mansion on the island to live temporarily. This mansion is very new, not very big, but the courtyard of the three entrances, but the layout of the green mountains and beautiful water birds chirping, different from the tropical scene in the area of Xia Mi Island, the quiet courtyard in the breeze swaying, the water is thin and refreshing, enveloped with a unique faint sea fog, I sat on the carved wooden window, the wound on my left hand has been bandaged, and the body has also changed into a clean and simple embroidered white robe to accompany the five sheep clogs, while looking at the book Wu Xize brought to me "Luo Zhishi Words", while chatting with Wu Xize. There was a fluttering commotion around the bed, and dozens of tropical messenger pigeons with dove-headed and crow-tailed pigeons hovered and sneered. I looked up, lowered my head again, and continued to look at the handwriting on the book. This book seems to have been printed for some time, but it is in line with the vicissitudes of time on the old pages that I like repeatedly, and the handwriting is very square, although it is Luo Wei script, but it is not ancient and obscure: only the handwriting on it is stacked line by line, leaving a refreshing eye distance:
β¦β¦ During the Asuka period, the Tianping period, the Jeongkan period, the Fujiwara period, and the Kamakura period, my ancestors of Sainte, on the four islands of the great mainland, felt that the civilization of the neighboring countries such as China and Buddhism of India were conscientious and conscientious, and created their own long and long history. Unexpectedly, the Jeju people were treacherous, using the water master of Tang Gaozong to stop my samurai in the Baekchon River, I knew that I was fledgling, forbearance and self-improvement, lying on the salary and tasting courage, and introverted skills such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony, jiu-jitsu, and ninjutsu......
"That 'General Kangxiu' injured General Fu, but it was really so that the general could come out to recuperate and investigate in detail, but General Qin Qiong confessed, and I ask General Fu to forgive that brute for being ruthless." Wu Xize is still a series of green robes and single clothes today, and he put on the carved mandarin duck bronze octagonal incense burner next to him, and after a while, the healing breath of benzoin is rising.
"Thank you, too," I said softly, looking at his clear eyes and somewhat tired and wrinkled eyes. Then I turned my eyes to the handwriting on the book...... Looking at the nation of my holy Luo, they are the people of heaven, fulfilling their duties, working hard to make the country prosperous, and growing and self-reliant at a dazzling speed. I am the merchant of Shengluo, the capital of Semu, and the warrior of my Shengluo, and the military god of the protector of the country. The tradition of industriousness, hard work, perseverance, conscientiousness, collectivity and dedication, and unyielding vows to achieve the goal, when poured into a seed, can blossom and bear fruit, intimidating thousands of miles...... Seeing this, I secretly said in my heart, it really bloomed a poisonous flower, bore evil fruits, turned into a demon, and the disaster was thousands of miles away, and it was difficult to contain.
Wu Xize heard the rumors of the little people outside, so he asked me to rest by myself, and he went to the front hall to entertain guests. Not long after, Qin Qiong's dusty and swallow-fronted tiger beard figure was already followed by a jade-faced young man with a Confucian scarf. When I saw it, I not only looked happy, but stepped forward and said, "General Qin, hard work, Huang Chun, why are you here, come in and sit." "With that, Wu Xize and I have already brought the two of them in. After arranging for the three of us to sit next to each side, and letting the little guy serve refreshments, Wu Xize withdrew by himself. It's not as polite as us, and it's very free and easy between actions. I saw that Huang Chun and Qin Qiong both looked dignified, and it was not good to take the idle book again, and I didn't want them to be too sad, so I joked, "I made a mistake this time, thank you for saving me and Xiao Chunzi." β
Who knew that as soon as the title of "Xiao Chunzi" came out, Qin Qiong squirted out the tea in his mouth as soon as he took it, and because he was still wearing a battle suit, there was soft armor on the cuffs of the robe, so it was inconvenient to wipe it, so he rolled his eyes at me and said, "There is still a bad mind, the Jeju envoy told Pengcheng that my sister was in a hurry." I'm afraid that you will suffer in prison, so I came up with such a bitter plan to save you first, although the strategy is a little stupid, fortunately, the Lord originally let you go to prison first is just a gesture, and my heart is not confused, but this matter involves the people of Jeju, and the people of Jeju are the vassal states of Xinyue. β
"Yes," I listened to what Qin Qiong, who has always been silent, and when I thought of Qin Qing, I also felt a little depressed and sour in my heart, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly on my lips, "I also pondered, this Jeju envoy actually came to rebuke, could it be that they didn't know that this was my Beiming Haijiang, they entered without saying a word, and rescued their prisoners of war but did not cooperate with my Beiming, they deserved to be beaten, not to mention that they were injured by Luo Wei's 'swarm of bees' and the ambush of the sailor, I Beiming rescued people, but was bitten back, it is really barbarian and unreasonable." β
"Hey, this matter, from the perspective of the Jeju general Shen Yun'er, and from the perspective of the subordinates who helped them survive, it is naturally to admit that because their general Shen Yun'er himself was afraid of being tortured, writing a letter to induce his own casualties is equivalent to admitting his own guilt, and he will inevitably be blamed when he goes back. As for those people below, the middle and lower levels of the army obey their superiors, and they will have to mix under their subordinates in the future, so naturally no one will let go of their future for the sake of me, a Beiming general who once saved them, to tell the truth. I slightly re-swung my left hand, and said slowly, "Blame me for being an afterthought before I thought of these joints and fell into this situation." However, I wonder if the corpses killed by their landing on the west side of Ryu Island can be asked by the two countries to conduct a joint autopsy to explain the cause of their death, or whether the craftsmen of the War Division can find out the cause of the ship's destruction on the ruins of the turtle ship that sank in the area of the great cyclone that day? β
Qin Qiong bit her lip slightly and said, "If you can do it, you have to try it, I will know General Feng Wenqing, so I will send someone to investigate." β
"Slow-" Huang Chun, who had been sitting quietly on the side with a serious expression, suddenly said, "This matter is not just a problem between General Shen Yun'er and the group of rescued subordinates below," as he spoke, he turned his face to me and said, "Fu Yannian, do you think, in the army, a country's own generals wrote a letter to induce a large number of their own people to fall into the trap and suffer casualties, and then he still wants to continue to lead troops to fight, or Jeju still needs him to continue to lead troops to fight, so does he still have face?" What is the face of his country? However, as far as I know, this Shen Yuna is a leader in the command of Jeju Jung, otherwise he would not have sent so many ships to meet him. β
"You mean?" I was startled, sighed softly, and looked at him, and he nodded at me.
"Alright, when is it, stop playing dumb riddles." Qin Qiong next to him said, "You came out, but Sheng Zheng was imprisoned for you, it's better to come up with countermeasures earlier, if Sheng Zheng suffers from a little flesh and skin, Sheng Zheng is our friend, he is very righteous, in order to give you a book to explain the facts, he was also bitten by Jeju Guoyi, and Prince Ning has a newly hired fiancΓ©e, and in the future, our Princess Ning is Sheng Zheng's own sister, and he has to move him out as soon as possible." Settle this matter. β
"What? Sheng Zheng locked me in? I was shocked and said, "How can this work?" I'm in it myself, it's nothing more than sleeping in the dark for a few days, no one tortures me, I am from a secret sentinel martial arts school, and it is easy to guard against poisoning, but Sheng Zheng is from the Sailor Academy, where can he be wary of those, this is not good," I said and was about to get up and walk out, "I have to change him back." β
"Oh, okay, sit down" Huang Chun frowned, and suddenly said, "He went in because you came out and needed an explanation, but nominally not for you, but his letter to state the facts, we went to find the rescued sergeant and the general Shen Yun'er, people naturally denied it, and said that he made a false accusation, he was angry for a while, hit the messenger with one eye full of black green, and also knocked a Jeju soldier who followed him with his scabbard to break the leg bone, and then he was imprisoned...... Okay, don't talk about this, I said Fu Yannian, do you think things are not messy enough? For now, it is best to solve this matter as soon as possible. β
I heard this, flicked my sleeves, sat back in my chair, and said with some willfulness, "Then what do you say to do?" Since the most critical part of this matter is not whether the truth can be physically evidenced, but whether the relationship between the two parties can be preserved and not the public can tear their faces, is it necessary to endure this breath? β
"Of course not," Huang Chun slanted his eyebrows helplessly, picked up the tea on the table at hand and took a sip, "Even if you are willing to endure this breath, as this scapegoat, Beiming can't be this wronged leader." β
"That is, they should live and die when they come to our territory, they are at a loss, and they have turned around to save people and become harmful, this farmer and snake thing, too much fire," Qin Qiong stood up with his fists clenched, smashed the wall next to him with one hand, the dust fell, and walked to Huang Chun's side and said, "Huang Tuwen, you don't want this one, that one can't work, hang my appetite, you say, what is going on?" What now? Fu Yannian wants to be confined here to recuperate, and I will listen to your orders. β
Huang Chun suddenly turned to look at me, then looked at Qin Qiong, and said jokingly, "It's really a family, it's different, when did General Qin have the grace to listen to my Huang Mou's orders?" β
This teasing, Qin Qiong and I both blushed and laughed, I punched Huang Chun in the chest with my right hand, and said, "You kid, okay, don't sell it, tell me your plans." β
"This matter, naturally, you can't suffer a dumb loss, but you can't open the case on the surface, Jeju doesn't have to pay much attention to it, but to give Xinyue this face, you still have to give it," Huang Chun shook his head, and analyzed it lightly, "I mean, the evidence must be conclusively investigated and clear, and moreover, this evidence should be sent to Xinyue friends to express my goodwill in Beiming, but there is no need to openly declare it to the outside world, we will give Xinyue a step down, Xinyue naturally has to clean up their disobedient vassal states, these opportunistic and shirking responsibility, well, we have to let that Shen Yun'er come to us for a while, let him make meritorious contributions, as for how to use him in the war against Luo Wei, I think that the best destination for him is to complete his death on the battlefield, kill Luo Wei, complete his fame, and help me in the decisive battle of Beiming. β
His response was so transparent, but so thorough and powerful, that Qin Qiong and I were stunned for a moment, and we couldn't help but be afraid and respectful. And he was just talking and laughing, and he slowly continued to explain the details of his actions without living up to his name as a little Zhuge and so on, listening to Qin Qiong again and again.
