Chapter 447: The Man Who Fears Death
The wedding of the five princes did not participate, but it was said to be very exciting.
The envoys of the Qin people and the Yan people had a wonderful wrestling with the officials of the Jin State, and the result naturally ended in a great victory for the officials of the Jin State.
Xie Shence got the news that the defeat of the Qin people was because Zhang Shuo had not spoken, and the official of the Yan State Rite Department was extraordinaryβstill lost at the hands of the Jin people.
In this great war without gunpowder, the officials of the Qi Wang Party showed their might and won countless glory for the country.
Xie Shence smiled after reading the information, then threw it aside, and continued to pick the embroidery mold for Wang Jiehua.
Zhang said that after the wedding of the five princes, he came to Yangzhou City again, and it seems that there is a great posture of stalking.
But you are so subtle, just invite me to dinner, and don't say it, how do I know what you want? It's really confusing
One night, Xie Shence sighed at the stars.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, Zhang said that he did his best, but Zhang said that he didn't say the purpose, could it be that Xie Shence would say, "Come, I'll show you new weapons"?
Even if Zhang said it, it was impossible for Xie Shence to show it to him, let alone if he didn't say it?
Not to mention the beehive's secret actions or something, how many cavalry, how many iron guards were deployed in Yangzhou City, and how tightly defended they were, Xie Shence knew best.
How is that possible
Emperor Jin has already obtained a batch of heavenly thunders, but the batch of heavenly thunders that were secretly delivered to the Shenji Battalion can only be regarded as the first batch of experimental products produced by the artillery battalion, and they have long been eliminated by the artillery battalion.
However, even so, Emperor Jin was happy for a long time.
The Divine Machine Battalion is secretly cracking the composition of explosives. But as far as Xie Shence knows, the progress is extremely slow, and if you want to completely crack it, you don't know the Year of the Monkey. Purification improvements? Wishful thinking.
"Uncle, that Qin man has come to invite you to dinner again, do you want the slave to send him away?"
Xie Shence didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the embroidered cloth, as if he was trying to see something.
Wang Jiehua covered her mouth and laughed silently, waved her hand to signal Xiao Ye'er to go out, Xiao Ye'er also snickered, and then ran out happily.
"Let's go! My aunt is not available. β
"Huh?"
The scholar Zhang said was still to be said, and Xiao Ye'er had already closed the door.
"Hey"
The scholar looked at the door that had been slammed shut and almost hit his nose, sighed and bowed his head and left.
"Young Master"
"Yo, I'm deflated again."
"Young master, you are still laughing, that thanking God is your face!"
Zhang said with a nonchalant smile: "Young master, I'm all here, but I don't care about face." Didn't the people in the Ministry of Rites say a long time ago, young master, that I won't do my job?"
The boy sulked and sat down on the steps, looking down and muttering about how damn it was so hot.
"Say what?"
The scholar was startled and said, "No, nothing. β
Zhang said, "Was it rejected?" β
Young Master of the Scholar's Heart, you were rejected, didn't you say it at the beginning, how can you ask it again?
But then the boy turned red.
The young master is not talking about himself, but about him.
said that he was rejected by the handmaid of the Xie Shence family.
The scholar had a hint of shame, and said in his heart, Young Master, why are you so nosy.
Running to Yangzhou City to see what Xie Shence is nosy, asking what Tianlei is nosy, inquiring about Taihang Mountain thieves is also nosy, and now you have to take care of my private affairs, which is really idle!
But the scholar did not dare to say this.
Looking at Xie Shence, the young master predicted that Xie Shence was unwilling to deal with him, and it came true.
Inquired about Tianlei, the young master's prophecy was destined to have no result, and it came true.
Listening to the news of the Taihang Mountain bandits, the young master's prediction that the Taihang Mountain bandits have run out of qi and come true.
If the young master wants to say that it is impossible for him to be with the servant girl of the Xie Shence family, will it also come true?
The scholar panicked for a while, and didn't know what to say with a red face, so he had to excuse himself and said, "I'll go and see if the luncheon is ready."
Zhang Shuo looked at the back of the scholar who fled in the wilderness, smiled, and said, "If the guests don't come, isn't the luncheon canceled?" β
"Who doesn't have youth?"
As he spoke, a touch of green seemed to appear in front of Zhang Shuo's eyes.
Little bud, where are you?
Zhang Shuo held his chin and looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, thinking about some of the past back then, and thinking that she had been in prison for so many years and had no news, so he had a faint sadness
In Jindu, in a black building, Zhou Jinmian sat in the library's study, looked at the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "Let her know that her lover is under our control." β
A knight took the order, and a short time later, a woman was lifted out of the deep dungeon by the horseman.
The long absence of light made the woman's skin extremely pale, and her face was covered with a thick black cloth, and after a long time, her eyes adjusted to the light, and Tiqi removed the black cloth from her face.
That face was bloodless, and it was the grass sprout that was captured by Xie Shence in the Taihang Mountains.
Several of the women took a rough bath of the grass buds, then changed her into clean clothes and led her to the door of a house.
"Your Excellency, Secretary-General, please."
Qingcao Ya'er was stunned, as if she was trying to remember who the Secretary-General was.
The grass sprouts crouched down and covered their heads, seemingly in extreme pain.
She has been locked up for so many years, from the edict to the dungeon, she has always been alone, and her extreme loneliness and despair made her want to seek death for a while, but in the end she was difficult to suppress.
Of course, she paid a great price - she was already a little delirious, and many things took a long time to think about, and sometimes she could never remember them.
Just like at this time, not only can the grass sprouts not remember who the Secretary-General is, but her head will ache like a pinprick.
It is not ruled out that there is the influence of the Tiqi poison, but more often it is the perennial loneliness and despair.
After a long time, sweat soaked through his clothes, and the grass sprouts slowly stood up.
Her expression had returned to normal, and she pushed open the door to the study.
"Miss Ya'er, please be seated."
Qingcao Ya'er looked at the familiar stranger in front of her and asked, "We know each other?" β
"I don't know." Zhou Jinmian smiled: "Of course, it's only if you don't know me, or if you've seen it before, but you shouldn't remember it." β
Qingcao Ya'er smiled: "After torturing me for so many years, you still don't plan to let me go?" β
"Hehe, Miss Ya'er said with a smile, we did promise to give you freedom before, but because of something, haha, we couldn't do it, but don't worry, now, we are going to fulfill our promise!"
Qingcao Ya'er smiled, disapproving.
Zhou Jinmian seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "To be honest, I was originally going to use you to make a good show, but I just saw your recent situation here - I have a deep sense of guilt." I don't think it's time to be brutal to a girl like you. So"
"Your conscience has been found?"
Zhou Jinmian blushed and said, "Yes, my conscience has found out." β
"Miss Ya'er, you can go."
The grass sprouts still don't believe it.
"Well, Zhang said that it was in Yangzhou City. You can go to him. β
Qingcao Ya'er was stunned for a moment, then thought about who Zhang said, and then her face changed greatly.
"You can't catch it, he's in Qin State, it's impossible for you"
"Yes, yes, how can we catch Zhang Shaofu, it's just that he is doing business in Yangzhou City at this time."
The grass sprouts immediately rushed out.
Sure enough, no one stopped her along the way, but she didn't know the way, so she got lost many times, and finally asked some riders to know the way out.
Zhou Jinmian stood in place, sighed, and said, "Don't even want to be entangled?" β
Three days later, the dusty grass sprouts rushed to Yangzhou City.
inquired about Zhang Shuo's residence, and then secretly observed for a few nights, Qingcao Yaer did not find that anyone was following and monitoring her, nor did she find that Zhang Shuo was in any danger, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She decided to meet with Zhang.
Before meeting, however, she had one thing to do.
That is to kill Xie Shence.
Qingcao Ya'er learned from the roof that Zhang said that she would stay in Yangzhou City for about half a month, so it took her ten days to recover her strength, and then she was ready to start on a dark and windy night.
Xie Shence was unaware of this.
One night, Xie Shence rubbed his sore eyes and complained: "What kind of flowers do you want to embroider, isn't it a sin, it's not a human doing?"
Wang Xie Hua pointed his ears and said, "You don't want to do it?" β
Xie Shence hurriedly said: "It's just a little tired, let me rest for a day?" If I continue like this, I'm going to be myopia, don't ask what myopia is, yes, yes, the force is a little bigger, a little heavier, a little lower."
Wang Jiehua was massaging Xie Shence, and Xie Shence was babbling about these things.
"The five princes are married, and King Qi's life is not easy, of course, the most sad thing is the prince, but the prince is extremely smart and knows how to forbear, so basically don't worry"
"After all, the Northwest Army has not been completely cut, but the transfer of nearly thirty percent of the veterans of the Northwest Army is really a big injury, but the officers above the rank of lieutenant are basically still there, and the establishment is still complete, as long as high-quality soldiers can be recruited, it will not be too bad."
"Well, there has been a move in the fish pond recently, but I was stopped by the Ti Cavalry Division, I heard that I fell out of favor and wanted to trouble me"
"Hehe, I guess that the fish farmer is going to take this opportunity to get rid of you." Wang Jiehua said.
Xie Shence smiled: "That old woman Murong Duan really doesn't have any sense of existence, if she weren't for the fish farmer in the fish pond, it is estimated that the ghost would pay attention to her." β
Wang Jiehua said angrily: "Don't say she's okay, I'll be angry when I say it." β
Xie Shence was puzzled: "What's wrong with Murong Duan?" This is also angry? β
Wang Jiehua slapped Xie Shence and said, "It's not that Murong girl!" β
Xie Shence was embarrassed and said, "It's a long time ago, I still remember it." β
"Yo, was it too early a year ago?"
"Obviously it was the year before last"
"Dare to talk back."
"I don't dare."
The two fought and made trouble, thanking God for begging for mercy for a long time, and Wang Jiehua finally won.
"By the way, you really don't want to pay attention to that Zhang said?"
Xie Shence pursed his lips and said, "The Qin people are on my territory, how can it be so easy to invite me to dinner." β
Wang Jiehua was stunned and said, "What kind of messy reason is this? β
"Anyway, even if I don't see him, but he's been here long enough, and if he doesn't leave, it is estimated that Ying Hei will be in a hurry."
"Then let him stay here, wouldn't it be nice for them to be centrifuged?"
Xie Shence smiled: "How is that possible, if you want to send him away, if you don't send him away, how can you be embarrassed to kill him." β
Wang Jiehua was stunned for a moment and said, "Xianggong, you want to kill him?" β
Xie Shence nodded and said: "He knows that Tianlei, and he also single-handedly planned the internal strife of the Xi people, and helped the new and old nobles of the Qin State to integrate the Qin State is a rare talent, and such a person cannot be used by me, so I can only kill him." β
The people on the roof were shocked.
Xie Shence seemed to feel something, turned over and pressed Wang Jiehua under him, pulled out the dog's leg with his hand, and then threw it vigorously.
"Dangchang!"
The tiles flew wildly, the figure fell, and a cold light stabbed towards Xie Shence.
The dagger was thrown, and the moment the figure was blocked, Xie Shence pulled out his Han knife, strode forward, and slashed towards the figure.
It was just very easy, and the figure was split back.
So weak?
At the moment when Xie Shence was stunned, the figure ran to the bed.
Xie Shence secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurried back to help.
The figure was very fast, faster than Xie Shence, so before Xie Shence came back to help, he put the short sword on Wang Jiehua's neck.
"Don't Move"
Xie Shence threw down the Han knife in his hand and said, "Okay, I won't move, but if you want to let him go, you can come at me, I know that your target has always been me." β
"Don't you want to know who I am?"
Xie Shence tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "Woman, I don't remember you, but if you ask me to guess, I really can't guess." If you want to take revenge, I have too many enemies to remember. β
Qingcao Ya'er smiled: "Lord Admiral is really forgetful, after imprisoning me for so many years, you really don't have any impression at all?" β
Xie Shence was stunned and asked, "We've met?" β
"Why haven't you seen it?! You've locked me up for more than ten years! I'm out now to kill you! β
Xie Shence's mouth opened, Wang Jiehua listened to this, felt holding the short sword added to his neck, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Don't get excited, if you hurt her, I promise, you'll regret it."
Qingcao Ya'er smiled: "You care about her so much, then you must not let her be hurt."
Xie Shence smiled: "Nonsense, that's a certainty." β
"But don't think I'm going to stab myself for that or something, that's a dream. You know, I've never been threatened. β
Qingcao Ya'er said: "Do one thing, I will let her go." Otherwise, you will all die. β
Xie Shence shook his head and sneered.
"By the way, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. The person who has imprisoned you for more than ten years can't be me, after all, I'm only twenty years old. β
"Huh? It's you! I can't be mistaken! β
"I haven't locked you up for more than ten years, if you didn't find the wrong person, then you're lying. You're a little mentally abnormal, if I'm not mistaken, you've been in prison for a long time, maybe you've been in a dungeon, girl, is that you? β
Qingcao Ya'er was stunned for a moment and said, "It's really good, but you must have been locked up for more than ten years!" β
Xie Shence spread his hands and said, "There is nothing to argue about this question, because you already have a delusion. Of course, everyone who can stay in prison for more than two years and still be able to come out really has no impression of time, and it is not an exaggeration to live like a year or something, you can only think that you have been imprisoned for more than ten years, and you can be considered sober. β
Xie Shence chattered, and the grass sprouts were a little anxious, and said, "Don't say it!" Besides, I'll kill her with a sword! β
Xie Shence immediately shut up.
"Hmph"
However, before Qingcao Ya'er could say anything, Xie Shence said, "Oh, you're here to talk to Zhang, right?" β
Qingcao Ya'er opened her mouth, and then said, "Let him leave the Jin Kingdom safely, and I will let her go." β
Xie Shence shook his head and said, "Look, it's all your fault, what do you say, if you don't say it, she may not make such a boring request." β
Wang Jiehua looked angry and said, "What day haven't you mentioned it in the past few days?" I'm just asking as usual, why do you blame me? Besides, you didn't say you were going to kill him two days ago. β
"It's just a whim, how do you know there's an assassin up there?"
"Then I don't even know!"
"Blame me?"
"Or else?"
Qingcao Ya'er was in a trance, she was not used to this kind of scene.
It is hard to imagine that the threatened person and the kidnapped person can chat so "harmoniously", and even the two people have a little quarrel.
Qingcao Ya'er was a little angry, because this was ignoring her, because Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua didn't feel that she was a threat at all.
So she was going to let Wang Jiehua get hurt a little and punish them.
"By the way, Zhang said that there may be danger now, and you won't go to save him?"
Qingcao Ya'er was stunned again, and roared angrily: "Despicable! Thank you! β
Xie Shence smiled: "I have always been despicable, and I am proud of it. β
Qingcao Ya'er said hatefully: "Let him go, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life!" β
Xie Shen took a good time, dug out his ears, and said, "If you don't go back, you will regret it." β
Qingcao Ya'er thought about it, held Wang Jiehua, and slowly withdrew, and finally disappeared in the dark.
Wang Jiehua slapped Xie Shence's chest and said, "If she has no conscience, what if she burns all the jade?" β
Xie Shence said he: "She is reluctant to die, and she is even more reluctant to say death." So I had to give up threatening me. β
"So sure? What if you're wrong? β
"How is that possible! She has not committed suicide for so long in the Tiqi Division, which shows that she is really a greedy person, and the person who can support her to live is Zhang Shuo, which shows that she cares more about Zhang Shuo than about herself."
As Xie Shence spoke, he noticed that Wang Jiehua's face was a little wrong, so he realized that his explanation had mistaken the point.
"No, I just want to say that in that situation, I'm pretty sure"
"You don't care if I'm scared or not"
Xie Shence gasped.
Oh, it's really wrong to say anything
