Chapter 524: Closing the Net and Returning Home (4)

"You're going to watch me die?"

Song Zhengben asked Kong Deshao with some unwillingness.

Condesau nodded and said, "This is the one thing I look forward to the most, and fortunately I did it." ”

Song Zhengben nodded, and then asked in a flat tone, "Can I wait until dawn before I die?" You and I can sit down and have a drink, of course, the poisonous wine will be left for me to drink last, you and I have been hostile and hateful for so long, but I have never had a good conversation, I don't know if you have this stomach. ”

"It doesn't matter ......"

Kong Deshao sat down in the chair, crossed his legs and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, what else am I anxious about at this point?" I will fulfill your request, and I will not let you fail to fulfill your last wish before you die. Actually, I have a very good heart, especially for the dead. ”

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, you're dying slowly."

He said he was going to talk about wine, but it was clear that the two of them really didn't have anything to say. Most of the time it was silent, and it wasn't long before dawn at this time, and after only a few words, the two of them seemed to feel bored, so they just drank and didn't talk again. I don't know if Kong Deshao has a good heart, so he waited until the sun rose before urging: "It's not too early, I should also go back to report to King Xia." ”

After more than an hour of precipitation, his emotions have obviously calmed down a lot.

Song Zhengben withdrew his gaze from the sun outside the window, rubbed his eyes that could no longer see clearly, looked at Kong Deshao and said word by word: "Thank you for letting me see the sun's rays again, but your kindness may not be rewarded." What I said before was by no means angry, Condesau, you will never end up better than me. King Xia suspects me of collaborating with the enemy, what you hold in your hand is evidence, if I don't expect, this evidence is given to you by Wang Yunyan. Who is Wang Yunyan? Will he help you make up lies to frame me for nothing? I also figured out last night that Wang Yunyan is from Yanyunzhai. Wang Yunyan, King Yanyun, don't you think this person is very interesting? ”

He laughed and said, "King Xia is not an idiot, you and I are." ”

Kong Deshaw's face changed dramatically, as ugly as if he had eaten a dead mouse. He stood up sharply and walked quickly to the door, but he tripped and fell to the ground because of his hurry, and this time he looked extremely embarrassed, and his official hat was crooked to the side.

"It's late, even if you want to explain. At this time, the city gate has been opened, and Wang Yunyan may have left the city a long time ago. I sent Oniya to kill him last night, and until now Oniya hasn't come back can only mean one thing, he's not dead, Oniya is dead. And now that he's out of the city, you're dying. ”

Song Zhengben laughed rampantly and said, "I'm waiting for you in the Netherworld, don't make me anxious to wait." ”

"Song Zhengben!"

Kong Deshao stood up and slapped the dust on his body while scolding angrily: "You bastard, you still say that you are not a collaborator? You actually dragged me just to let Wang Yunyan escape, you are a fucking spy at all! ”

"No, no, no"

Song Zhengben picked up the poisoned wine and gestured to Kong Deshao, and said politely: "I saved him, I just wanted to kill you, it's as simple as that, don't think nonsense." If the scenery on the side of the Huangquan Road is really charming and provokes me to linger, maybe I can't walk the bridge and you can catch up with me. ”

"I--you-ancestor!"

The literati Kong Deshao scolded fiercely, and then ran out quickly.

"Floating Like a Dream"

Song Zhengben didn't know what he remembered, he sighed and said four words, then raised his neck and drank the poisonous wine, slowly sat down on the chair, he closed his eyes and smiled.

Before he died, he suddenly remembered that when he was still a small county official, Dou Jiande personally untied the rope for him on the day the city was broken, and then took his hand and said that Lone was not a rebel against the people, and Lone was to save the suffering of the people in the world before he rose up to fight against the Sui. The king is a big ship, the people are the river, and a good official like you is the dam that keeps the river from overflowing.

Because of these words, he chose to rebel with Dou Jiande.

He always felt that he was the dam of Great Xia that would never let the rivers flood. Today, he suddenly sighed, where is the embankment, but he is just a good dog chosen by Dou Jiande, and Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang are the hard bows in Dou Jiande's hands. In fact, I already knew the truth that the rabbit died and the dog cooked, but I didn't expect Dou Jiande to be so impatient...... The rabbit is not dead, the dog is cooked. The birds are endless, and the bow has collapsed.

Floating like a dream.

……

……

Just when Song Baolai persuaded Wang Fubao to drink the poisoned wine, the little man Wu Bushan, the chief arrester of the Zhaozhou Mansion, was drinking with another person in the dungeon. There are no dishes to accompany the wine, and there is only one word to accompany the wine.

"General Cheng is a masterpiece, but Dou Jiande is not a person who can tolerate a general."

Wu Bushan handed the wine jug to Cheng Mingzhen and said: "This is not poisonous wine, what is in front of General Wang Fubao is a pot of poisonous wine, but don't worry, Wang Fubao can't die, it's Song Zhengben who died, you can not believe it, but this news will reach your ears early tomorrow morning, but unfortunately, I definitely can't wait for that time to tell you the news in person." Because I still have something to do, and if I'm lucky, I'll see you again. ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Cheng Mingzhen didn't take the wine jug, but looked at Wu Bushan and asked seriously.

"At this point, even if you don't ask, I'll definitely say. I said that I would help you take your family out of Zhaozhou, but I would take some benefits, Xingxinglou has been doing a loss-making business, but I will never leave at a loss. After drinking this glass of wine, please go with your family, the city of Zhaozhou is definitely not a place for you to stay. I am from Yanyunzhai and do things for King Yan. If General Cheng is willing, he can go back to Yanyunzhai with me to assist His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

"What if I don't go?"

Cheng Mingzhen asked.

"How could you not go?"

Wu Bushan smiled and said: "If your family members leave the city early tomorrow morning, if Dou Jiande knows about it, will he let you go?" I promise you that you will not break your promise to send your family away, and it is not up to you to decide when you leave. Your family is gone, and you don't have time to wait for later. Unless you don't have a dead heart on Dou Jiande, capture me now and bring it to Dou Jiande to tell everything. But in this way, are you sure that Dou Jiande will change his mind about you? ”

"Looks like I really have to go."

Cheng Mingzhen sighed: "You take away my family, does this mean that you have to go to Yanyun Village to coerce me?" ”

Wu Bushan smiled: "If you firmly think so, I can't deny it." ”

"Despicable?"

Cheng Mingzhen asked.

"It's a little, but it's very genuinely mean."

"Yan Wang ......"

Cheng Mingzhen nodded, took a sip of the wine and asked, "Let's leave now?" ”

"Let's go now."

Wu Bushan smiled: "If you don't leave, Dou Jiande will come." ”

"Can you go out of the city now?"

"When you have to entrust me with your life, you have no choice but to trust me. So, the next thing you have to do is come with me, and if you don't worry, you can even get into the carriage for a while and get some sleep, and maybe you will be out of town when you wake up. ”

Cheng Mingzhen really fell asleep, and even he felt a little incredible. How could he sleep in such a situation? Maybe a slightly rocking carriage makes it easy to fall asleep? Or is there something wrong with that glass of wine in the wee hours of the morning? But it didn't matter, the important thing was that he suddenly found that it was really not difficult to get out of the city. He heard the conversation between the city gate guards and a person, and the three words "Xinglou" were particularly clear, so he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep, planning to ask Wu Bushan why he had given himself some drugs when he woke up.

He only got this answer at sunset, because Wu Bushan rode a horse with Ye Chuanyun to catch up with the team.

"The reason for the drug is to calm you down. I don't know if you'll change your mind when you're out of town, and we'll all have to die with you if you shout. I'm sorry that the dosage is less, you are too healthy and strong, you woke up too early, next time I pay attention, this is also a lesson from the past, and I will give you the medicine again in the future. ”

Wu Bushan said seriously.

……

……

After the convoy stopped to rest, they changed horses, and everyone only rested for a while and hurried overnight, got off the official road and took the path, and to Cheng Mingzhen's expectation, Wang Qinian did not choose to go back to Yanyunzhai directly, dozens of people rode horses around the circle and galloped all the way to the northwest, almost rubbing the past of Zhaozhou City, this courage made Cheng Mingzhen have to say admiration.

In the next few days, he found out that Wang Qinian and the others really didn't plan to go south back to Dongping County, but kept going west, and it seemed that they were going to run in one breath until they hit Taihang Mountain before they would stop. In fact, the team did not stop when it hit Taihang Mountain. In this era, it is not practical to climb over such a steep mountain, but it is obvious that Wang Qinian has been prepared, in a small village under Taihang Mountain, the secret spy who has been waiting for several months took them up the mountain, and it took more than 20 days to finally cross the mountains, and when Cheng Mingzhen understood that they had already reached the ground east of the river.

In a farmstead, they took a shower and changed their clothes, the horses were prepared here, and after resting for two days, the team continued on the road, this time galloping all the way to the north, still walking day and night, and arrived in Taiyuan for another ten days, Wang Qinian sent someone out to inquire about it, and then the team continued to set off, and after another arduous trek, the team appeared outside a pass that was not very majestic.

And what surprised Cheng Mingzhen beyond nothing was that the scene he saw made him unforgettable.

Outside the city, which had been renamed Niangzi Pass, about 100,000 Turkic wolf riders chose to surrender. The team of the Li family in Taiyuan was stationed outside the city, and the battalions were densely packed and stretched out for more than ten miles, and the Central Plains men and horses of each battalion were heavily guarded, and the Turkic wolf riders outside the city had formed a joint encirclement.

What is even more surprising is that the people of the Li family in Taiyuan do not seem to have intervened in the surrender. Because after arriving here, Cheng Mingzhen heard the most name was Yan King Li Xian, and the most heard thing was that 100,000 wolf riders surrendered, but they were only willing to surrender Yan King Li Xian.

The people of the Li family are not fools, and it is impossible for them not to know what a huge force the 100,000 wolf riders are. But they didn't reach out to grab it, and there was a weirdness in it. What happened in this, Cheng Mingzhen finally figured it out after entering the Niangzi Pass. And because of this incident, he really couldn't express his opinion of Yanwang Li Xian.

He was shocked, but shocked.

Why did the Turkic wolf riders surrender? What happened to Ashina Eliver?
