Chapter 236: Reckoning
When I returned to the camp, the first thing I did was to take stock of the results of this operation:
A total of 11 people were killed and more than 70 were injured, most of whom were injured in the rain of hidden weapons that fell from the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Qi and I examined for them, and what they possessed was not a tangible hidden weapon, but like a special poison, but fortunately, it was not a threat to life except for corroding the skin and flesh like acid.
At that time, Qin Qi looked at the white appearance of the venom ash, and couldn't help but whisper to me: "Look at it...... It's really like bird droppings! ”
Indeed, when the black and oppressive bird array was hovering at the zenith, and then this white thing was lowered, it really looked like ...... Countless guano droppings fell!
If this is someone deliberately designed this murder weapon to hurt people like this, this person's mentality is quite turtle hair!
I nodded and said, "It's really extreme!" It's a good thing you came late, otherwise you would have been hit. ”
It seems that the other party's arrangement has been planned for a long time, so the other party's people specially prepared the utensils to cover these venoms, which is the small umbrella held up on the head!
But judging from the results, the other side left a total of 38 corpses on the battlefield, as well as 23 people who were seriously injured and could not escape in time with flying birds, which is quite a heavy loss. After all, what these people have worked so hard in exchange for is a pounce!
As for the traitors who were ambushed in the camp of Lishan Mausoleum, the main culprit Zhao Xi escaped, and the two accomplices who followed Sang Qing were captured when they tried to escape down the mountain. I knew that there must be more than these three people, but in the absence of evidence, I could only stand still for the time being, and slowly observe it afterwards.
Such an ending is really a mixed blessing, but Zhang Han called me alone and praised me greatly. When I told him about Zhao Xi's situation, he was shocked and deeply regretted that he had lost a young official who could have been useful.
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you." I said.
"Huh?" Zhang Han was stunned.
"At that time, I temporarily asked you to cooperate with me to lie that the patrol schedule was ahead of schedule, you can let me mess around like this, Mo Yan is really impressed!" I bowed deeply to him.
"It's not a lie." He smiled.
I was stunned and looked at him inexplicably.
"Actually, the patrol team really set off, but they didn't go straight to us, but went to Zhiyang Mausoleum first." He said.
"Zhiyang Mausoleum", I immediately realized that it was the location of the ancestral tomb of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, that is, this person went to worship the ancestral tomb before coming to see his own tomb.
"That ......"
Zhang Han guessed what I was going to ask, nodded and said, "Yes, it is estimated that I will be here in three days." ”
I sighed silently, it seems that it is impossible to take a break, although this time it has weakened Zhaoxi's main forces, but it is difficult to guarantee whether he has a corresponding follow-up move. With his strong character, the contest between us is far from over, as he said, "there will be a period later".
"By the way, there is one more thing to tell you," Zhang Han said, "that girl in green clothes that you caught earlier was robbed." ”
"Huh? When? I asked.
"Even today when you are away. It is said that the guards inside were all brought down, and the door of the prison was opened, but the guards on the perimeter did not see any suspicious people at all. ”
His tone was lighthearted, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, but to me, it sounded like a bolt from the blue!
I'm still wondering in my heart whether Zhao Xi will have a plan for the next step, which simply gives me an answer!
Zhao Xi kept saying that he wanted to snipe and win politics and achieve his hegemony, but when he was busy with business, he obviously didn't forget to save one of his former "tools". If it weren't for his so-called "boring ties", it could only be said that he had left a way out for his exposure, so as to prevent someone from breaking down their relationship, and find more clues about him from Green Yi in the future.
As for how he managed to get people out of the heavily guarded military prison, I probably have a good idea of it. I didn't see the "me" on the opposite cliff during the rout of the bird formation, so I wonder if he escaped by other means, or if he disguised himself as someone and mixed into our team. Unknown.
It's probably not difficult for such a person who can dress up others so realistically to go anywhere and take anyone away.
Ambition aside, what kind of person Zhaoxi himself is, I also have a real sense during this time. It is unimaginable that such a person is not assisted by a capable person, whether it is the disguise master, or the person who drives the flock of birds to save him, it makes me deeply feel that our battle is definitely not against him alone, but with a team!
Luckily, I'm not alone.
Seeing my solemn face, Zhang Han suddenly said: "Mo Yan, it may not be appropriate to say this, but after hearing your comprehensive analysis, I really feel that Zhaoxi is very similar to you, and he is very similar...... An opposite you, like a person and his reflection in the water. ”
"Really?" I smiled, "Then I'll have to think about how I can keep this shadow from going berserk." ”
Back at the camp, I went straight to my tent, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, I suddenly felt an extremely unfriendly momentum rushing towards me!
When I looked closely, Sang Qing was sitting on the couch, holding a bowl and drinking something, and next to her sat an uncle with a vicissitudes of life, looking at her with concern.
On my own couch opposite, there were two people sitting side by side, one was Qin Qi, with an inexplicable face; The other, of course, was Yue Bi, his face was tense, his eyes were staring at the man in black opposite for a moment, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only have an unhappy constipated expression.
I immediately realized that it was quite an inopportune time for me to come at this time, but it was even more inappropriate to turn around and go out now, so I could only smile at Sang Qing and say, "You...... Are you alright? ”
Sang Qing looked up and saw that it was me, and said calmly: "When I first came back, there was nothing wrong, if it wasn't for Lao Mu stopping me from going out." ”
"Ah, yes, that's good!" I took the opportunity to say to the old man beside him, "Old Mu, thank you this time." ”
As soon as I said this, Yue Bi's face on the other side became even more ugly. I couldn't help but clear my throat in embarrassment and said, "Everyone has worked hard this time, let's take a good rest." ”
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to walk away, but Lao Mu, who had been facing away from me, suddenly said, "Slow! I have something to say to you. ”
“…… Oh, what words? I asked.
He stood up, walked straight up to me, looked at me with a serious face, said "come out," lifted the curtain and went out. I had no choice but to go out.
Walking to an open space behind the tent, he stopped, turned around and asked, "Should I call you 'Mo Yan' or 'Qi Chu'?" ”
"This ...... As you see fit. I said.
"Then let's call Mo Yan, if you weren't Mo Yan, you wouldn't be qualified to stand here and listen to me say this."
"Uh...... Do you need any qualifications to speak? ...... "I'm sweating, I thought to myself, how can Lao Mu be like my father-in-law in this current atmosphere......
I saw him staring at me fiercely for a few seconds and said, "You know what? I don't even want to send her back. Halfway through, I wanted to leave and take her to a place where you can't find her. Because I feel that if she mixes with you again, she will have to take this life sooner or later! ”
Seeing that he was so frank, I also straightened up and asked seriously, "Then why did you still come back?" ”
"You don't know?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at me defiantly.
"I know what Sang Qing thinks, I don't know yours, and I'm not qualified to know, right?" I laughed.
He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed me by the collar, and said angrily, "It's your attitude that annoys me the most, as if others should do everything for you." Do you only care about yourself doing things right and doing things well, and do you care about the feelings of the people around you? ”
"Old Mu," I said calmly, "don't forget how you got here. If it weren't for your concern for Sang Qing, there would be nothing to do with you here. I want to do things right, but if I really want to talk about sacrificing my life to protect Sang Qing, it won't be your turn! With that, I pressed his hands and pushed them out, out of his grasp.
Then he pulled his clothes and continued: "I really thank you this time, I owe you a favor, but if you think you can point fingers at me, then you are very wrong. Sang Qing is the same, she will choose her own path, and she will not be at your disposal because you saved her and said a word for her good. Not just you, no one! ”
He was a little surprised by my words, and was stunned for a while, then suddenly sighed and said in a low voice: "She will choose her own path...... Well, maybe you really know her better than I do......"
I looked at the slight indifference on his face, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, and just said, "Actually, ......"
But I saw that Lao Mu suddenly raised his head again, looked at me with his usual sleek and sophisticated expression and said, "One day she will willingly go with me." ”
"If I told you, it would be impossible......" I said quietly.
"How dare you speak to your boss like that?" He suddenly threatened.
"You still owe me half a month's salary, and you're embarrassed to say that you're the boss?!" I don't show any weakness.
"What kind of person is to say such things to a benefactor in distress!" He shouted.
"That's the favor you took the opportunity to sell Sang Qing!" I immediately punctured his little bit of caution.
"Whether to sell her favor or not is a matter between us, helping you in your most difficult time is a matter between you and me, I helped you in your most difficult time, so that you can avoid living on the streets, don't you admit this fact? Do you dare to say that you can do things well and do it right? He had a sly look on his face.
"This ......," I said for a moment. I really hate my amnesia at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have taken refuge in such a guy! It's like losing your body, I'm afraid I'm going to become a stain on my life! (To be continued.) )
