"General Qiu is slow." Zhu Ningyao's voice came from behind him.

Qiu Yue stopped and turned around, and asked in a low voice, "What does the prince command?" Yes, the prince must personally arrest me and send it to Song Nan to deal with, and he will never resist if he is humble, let the prince dispose of it. ”

Zhu Ningxiao stood up and walked in front of Qiu Yue, his eyes were fixed on Qiu Yue's eyes, as if he wanted to see the secret in Qiu Yue's heart, Qiu Yue didn't dare to face it, and hung his head silently.

"How will General Qiu deal with the arrest of Jinyiwei when he goes?" Zhu Ningxiao's slightly chubby face had a strange expression, which seemed to be a smile and a mockery.

"The lowly position is naturally going to surrender, then Song Nan wants to arrest me, and the lowly position has no way, even if it escapes, it will not help, it will drag down my wife and children, which I never want to see."

"How many years has General Qiu been in the army?" Zhu Ningxiao's voice suddenly became gentle, and he asked about irrelevant matters.

"Humble ...... Since the age of eighteen, he has been in the army for twenty-five years......"

"Hmm...... Twenty-five years, how many twenty-five years are there in life? General Qiu can be regarded as dedicating all his good years to the Ming Dynasty, and in 25 years, General Qiu has been promoted from 100 households to the position of guerrilla general. ”

"I am ashamed of my humble position, and the emperor's grace is mighty, but my humble position is ultimately a failure to the emperor's grace and commit such a great crime." Qiu Yue's face was full of shame.

"How many people has General Qiu killed in his life?" Zhu Ningxiao began to ask about irrelevant things again.

"This ...... I can't remember clearly, I was in the border army, I fought countless battles with the Tartars, and I am afraid that there are dozens of people killed with my own hands. ”

"Dozens, not much. But if you count the deaths and injuries caused by your order, how many? ”

"This ...... The humble position can't answer the prince, I am afraid that it can only be said that there are countless people. The prince asked, "What are you doing?" ”

King Anhua didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Has General Qiu been injured?" ”

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "I have been injured countless times, and I almost died several times; Ten years ago, in a battle at the North Pass Pass of Helan Mountain, he was shot through the right chest by a Tartar arrow and almost died. Eight years ago, in the battle of the Great Wall Pass of Dongshankou, the waist and abdomen were seen through by a Tartar scimitar, and the intestines flowed out at that time, but the humble position still survived. These are all big wounds, if you say small wounds and small scars, there is not a single intact place on the whole body, and there are hundreds of wounds large and small......"

King Anhua laughed, looked at Qiu Yue and said, "General Qiu seems to be very proud of your past." ”

Qiu Yue lowered his eyes and said: "Despicable duty is just dutifully guarding the border town of Daming. ”

King Anhua said softly: "You are responsible for Da Ming, how does Da Ming treat you?" You have killed countless Tartars, escaped death several times, and your whole body is covered with scars, but in the past 25 years, you have only taken your life to refute the rank of a guerrilla general and commander from the fourth rank. Now, because you killed a woman by mistake while drunk, this qiē of your twenty-five years of struggle will be gone, do you think it's fair? ”

"This ...... I didn't think about that. ”

"You haven't thought about it, but this king has thought about it for you, you have worked hard to defend tens of thousands of people in Ningxia Town, a certain Cheng dù said that their lives were given by you, and now you just mistakenly killed their lives that should have been taken by the Tartars, and the court will never remember your previous desperate actions to protect them, do you think it's fair?"

"This ......"

"It took you twenty-five years to achieve a small rank of official from the fourth rank, and whether you lose him or not, but in this case, someone can be crowned a marquis in a few years without sweating blood and sweat, and become an important minister in the court in a few years; Do you think your 25 years of struggle are fair compared to others? ”

Qiu Yue's face was dazed, he shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, how can you compare with others in a lowly position, a lowly position is just a matter of doing your best." ”

King Anhua smiled and said: "Stupid, this is the sorrow of your Qiu General, you have lived most of your life, but you haven't figured out how to live in this life." The Ming Dynasty, to which you tried your best to be allegiant, abandoned you the moment you killed that woman by mistake, and it's ridiculous that you still want to do your best and do your best. If you want to take your Song Nan as a teenager, he became the commander of the Jinyi Guard without much effort, and at the age of twenty-one, he became my noble marquis of the Ming Dynasty, compared to him, your life is really boring. ”

Qiu Yue bit his lower lip and said: "People have the ability of their families, and they don't have that life." ”

"Stupid, when you are desperate, people are slapping horses and seducing the granddaughter of the British prince to pull nepotism, which is also called ability? Now that you have done something wrong, he is going to take you to justice, kill people to pay for your life, and your death will become a stroke in Song Nan's credit book, and become his further capital, and your wife and daughter's family will be humiliated for a lifetime, and you will not be able to let go of your ugly things for the rest of your life, is this the result you want? ”

Qiu Yue became excited, his nose was agitated, and his panting was rough and he shouted: "I bear the mistakes I have made, what does it have to do with my wife and children?" ”

King Anhua smiled and said: "General Qiu, you know that it will be related, and this king doesn't need to explain more to you, you know it very well in your heart." And I know the style of the Jinyi guards, they can't wait to dig out your ancestors for eight generations to investigate, even if it won't harm your wife and children, your family's property will be squeezed out by them, which is the fate that all prisoners will suffer; You know this in your heart, you just don't want to think about it. ”

Qiu Yue squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and shouted, "What should I do? What am I going to do? What evil did I create in my last life, and I will go through this calamity in this life? How innocent is my wife and children? ”

"General Qiu, this king has realized a truth over the years, do you want this king to tell you?"

"Lord Wang, your humble duty is as chaotic as ......"

"It may be helpful for you to calm down and listen to the words of this king."

"Lord Wang, please speak."

"This king has realized a truth over the years, there is actually no fairness in this world, and the fairness in this world is not obtained by charity, you must take it yourself if you want, otherwise no one will pity you, no one will sympathize with you, and no one will find out that you are fair in conscience. This principle applies to you, Qiu Yue, and it also applies to this king. ”

“…… Rajah...... I didn't understand the humble position too much, could it be that there is something unfair about the prince? ”

"Hahaha, of course there is, the unfairness in you is insignificant compared to the unfairness of this king."

Qiu Yue looked at King Anhua as if he didn't understand, and King Anhua smiled and said: "This king has a way to save you, and it can make you compensate for your hard work for the past twenty-five years, and give you the greatest fairness; You no longer need to worry about being arrested by others for killing a woman by mistake, and the fate of ruining your family business and official position, but this qiē requires you to have courage, as this king said, no one will give it to you, you need to take it yourself. ”

"How to take it? I don't understand what the prince said more and more. ”

King Anhua said with a faint sneer on his face: "Whoever wants to take away your qiē, you have to strike first and take his qiē, so that you are safe." ”

Qiu Yue's face changed and said, "What does the prince mean...... Do you want to be humble......? How does this work? ”

"How not? You have a guard in your hand, and he has only a few hundred men, so why are you afraid of him? ”

"Imperial Court ...... How will the court bypass me? Qiu Yue rubbed his hands and said.

"Hehehe, the court? This king is the court, and this king has instructed you to do this, and you will do it rightly. ”

Qiu Yue opened his mouth wide in astonishment and said, "The prince is going to ...... Is it to seek ......? ”

"Wrong, this king just wants to get back the fairness that belongs to me, my Qingwangfu is also orthodox with dragon blood, why can someone be the master of the world, and this king has no chance? This king is not convinced, this king is also a descendant of Taizu, and this king is also qualified. If they don't give, the king will take it. King Anhua's face was full of muscles twisted, and he gritted his teeth.

Qiu Yue was silent, trembling and unable to speak.

"General Qiu, this king might as well tell you, He Jin and Zhou Ang are all people of this king, two of the three guards in Ningxia Town have been attached to me, you are unwilling to obey this king, and it is difficult to resist the strangulation of my palace guards plus two guards and horses, and now that you have been arrested by Song Nan, if you know the current affairs, you will not refuse the king's kindness."

"In fact, whether you are willing to follow this king to achieve great things, this king does not care. for the king has made all preparations. But if you can help this king to achieve great things, you will be rewarded with something that you have not been able to get for twenty-five years, and you will become a meritorious minister of this king. Today's emperor is lazy and ignorant of the government and people's grievances, you don't know, last year Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi unveiled the rod and the responders gathered, although they were wiped out, but the court has been greatly injured, this is a good time for the king to act in an orthodox capacity. When the king ascends to the heights, the people of the world and the officials from all over the world will raise their arms accordingly, and the big thing will be done with a snap of a finger, and then the king will be crowned your king, so that your children and grandchildren can enjoy all the glory and wealth, and let you enjoy the greatest fairness in this world. ”

"Of course, this king will not force you, and this king will not kill you just because you know this king's secret, Song Nan will want your life. How to choose, you decide for yourself, whether you want to die or a bright future, you decide. ”
