Chapter 436: Closing the Distance
Ouyang Mingzhu only cared about chasing people, didn't hear clearly for a while, turned his head loudly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
I said, "I said, do you like Marshal Xiao?" ”
"Huh?" Ouyang Mingzhu didn't seem to expect me to ask so directly, she was stunned for a while, and her riding speed couldn't help but slow down.
Her apricot eyes widened, "What are you talking nonsense?" I...... I...... There is no ...... Like...... Like ......" she seemed embarrassed and blushed afterwards.
"It turns out that the county lord doesn't like Marshal Xiao. I see that Marshal Xiao is extraordinary to the county lord, and I think you two are ......" I sighed with great regret: "What a match made in heaven, what a pity!" ”
Ouyang Mingzhu lit up when she heard this, and she suddenly pulled the reins of the horse and stopped the horse. I saw that she stopped, and the horse stopped.
She asked with a happy face, "Do you say that he is not ordinary to me?" ”
She glanced at the figure in front of her who was riding away on a horse and was about to lose sight, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, her face became dark, and she muttered in a sad tone: "He is not ordinary to me, just because of my identity." ”
I was surprised in my heart, listening to Ouyang Mingzhu's meaning, Qin Yichang didn't like her, she was just unrequited love?
I hesitated, if that's the case, do I want to match them? Forget it, let's understand the situation first, so as not to be self-defeating.
I said: "County Lord, Marshal Xiao treats you unusually, it must be because you are a person who impresses him, not something else. "In Qi he is the king of Qi, in the military camp he is a marshal, and there is no need to please anyone at all. Now he shouldn't have to wronged himself for anything, right?
She pulled her gaze back from a distance to look at me, "Are you telling the truth?" Although it was a question, there was hope in her eyes.
I affirmed, "Of course it's true." I'm his friend and I know him. ”
She looked at me, was silent for a moment, and said with a suspicious gaze, "Are you really his friend?" ”
I nodded, "I am indeed his friend, if the county lord doesn't believe it, you can go and ask Marshal Xiao!" ”
"Don't ask him, I take your word for it." Those big dark eyes looked at me sincerely, and the gaze was very sincere, so that people could not feel the slightest hypocrisy.
When she said believe me, I was surprised, "You believe me? ”
She nodded, "In the barracks, only Brother Yao knows my identity, and no one else knows." I didn't expect him to tell you, which shows that he trusts you very much, and the person that Brother Yao trusts is definitely not a bad person. ”
Seeing that she suddenly changed her attitude towards me, I was a little suspicious. Is she like this because she saw that Qin Yichang was not ordinary to me? Or is it because she is simple-minded and not good at hiding her thoughts?
Although this Ouyang Mingzhu seems to be telling the truth, I am used to seeing deceit in the palace, and I will not easily believe anyone, and I naturally will not believe all of Ouyang Mingzhu's words.
I also said sincerely, "Thank you for your trust." Rest assured, we are not bad people! ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Ouyang Mingzhu's eyes, "It's just ......" She hesitated for a moment and asked, "What I don't understand is: Since you are his friend, why did you appear on the city tower in the battle of Yecheng?" Why help our enemies? ”
I was a little helpless to hear her ask this question. At that time, there was also a lack of consideration, only thinking about stopping the war, and nothing else, which made it so difficult to explain now.
We appeared on the tower while they were attacking the city, and although we were only saving people and doing nothing else, in their eyes, we were helping the enemy defend the city. Before Ouyang Mingzhu came, Qin Yichang also asked me this question, but I was interrupted by Ouyang Mingzhu before I could explain clearly. He would ask me that, explaining that he didn't fully believe what I had said in the camp, and that he still had a grudge in his heart, and it seemed that I had to find an opportunity to talk to him as soon as possible.
Ouyang Mingzhu looked at me silently, her face changed, and the guard that had just been finally let down returned to her eyes.
I sighed, "Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want!" I looked at Ouyang Mingzhu and said, "I said that we were helping Marshal Xiao, do you believe it?" ”
"You're helping him?" Ouyang Mingzhu was surprised, and his tone was full of disbelief.
"We heard that Marshal Xiao was in Qidi, so we planned to go to Qidi to find Marshal Xiao. When passing by Yecheng, we heard that the Qi army was going to attack Yecheng, and it was Marshal Xiao who led the troops. We thought, as his friends, we have to help him. A few of us discussed it and decided to sneak into Yecheng and Marshal Xiao to meet with each other. We sneaked into Yecheng, pretending to be the common people of Yecheng, planning to capture the thief and capture the king, starting with Liao Zhiyong, the defender of Yecheng, and persuading him to surrender, so that Marshal Xiao could take Yecheng without spending a single soldier. ”
“……”
"It's a pity that we were a step too late, and by the time we got to the tower, you were already fighting. Liao Zhiyong was guarding the city in the city tower, so we had to go to the city tower to meet him, and by the way, we saved a few of his soldiers in order to gain his trust. Liao Zhiyong saw that we had saved his brother, and sure enough, he believed us, and after gaining his trust, we persuaded Liao Zhiyong to surrender. Liao Zhiyong finally agreed to surrender after our efforts to persuade us to surrender and sent us over to negotiate. You said that we let Marshal Xiao take Yecheng without attacking the city, aren't we helping him? ”
"I see!" Ouyang Mingzhu suddenly realized when he heard this, "I said that day, why did Brother Yao see you alone?" I broke in and had people kick me out. She muttered in a low voice with grievances, "Really, why can't you tell me, I've been worried for a long time!" ”
"County Lord, so you have wronged Marshal Xiao, we didn't discuss this matter with Marshal Xiao at the beginning, and he only found out when he met with us, how can you tell the county lord?" I laughed in my heart, don't say you're weird, I was weird too.
She clenched her fist at me, her face apologetic, "I'm sorry, I treated you like that at the beginning, I really didn't know that you were helping Brother Yao." ”
I smiled and said, "How can you blame the county lord for this, don't you blame those who don't know!" ”
She looked at my smile with something strange in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I ask you a question?" ”
I smiled and said, "Yes, you say!" ”
"You...... You...... You look like ...... Are you ...... Is it a woman dressed as a man? ”
"Ah...... Belch...... That's right, the county lord has good eyesight, how can the county lord see it? I asked, with a blank face.
