Xu Shi's eyes narrowed.

He has fought all his life, he has seen bloody pestles, thousands of corpses in the river, and I don't know how many cruel and terrifying pictures he has seen, but at this time, the gentle smile and calm expression on Ning Que's face seem to be more thrilling than those pictures in the past.

In an instant, his evaluation of Ning Que was a little higher, and Cheng Dù was more vigilant about the danger of this son, and the sympathy and pity that had occasionally flashed before disappeared without a trace.

Ning Que continued: "Of course, the story of the Orion family being burned to death has nothing to do with me, I also heard it, I'm just curious, in that case, how will the general choose? I also want to continue to ask the previous question, is there really a person in the world who is as white as a lotus? General, have you ever killed a prisoner on the battlefield? Is it a violation of Tang law to kill a prisoner? General, when your subordinates rode through the fortress, did they kill the barbarian women and children on the grassland? If so, can it be regarded as a violation of Tang law?"

Then he looked at the general's old face and asked: "The general, as an important minister of the emperor, should stand on my position in the Tang Dynasty, but when the strong of the enemy country entered, instead of being cautious, you revealed my whereabouts to the other party, I want to ask, even if this is not against the Tang law, it can violate your conscience?"

asked for advice even after another, as if a heavy punch kept smashing into the old general's heart. However, how could Xu Shi be shaken by Ning Que's few words, he smiled slightly angrily and said: "Since you want to enter the WTO on behalf of the academy, you have to accept the challenge of the strong people in the world, why don't you want those people to know your whereabouts? Could it be that you are afraid, you have no confidence, and you are afraid of embarrassing Datang and the master?"

Don't wait for Ning Que to speak...... The general smiled suddenly, looked at him indifferently and said, "Even if you were ruthless when you were young, what about after you came to Chang'an from Weicheng?"

After coming to Chang'an, Ning Que's eyebrows slowly raised.

Suddenly the wind rose in the garden, it was slightly cold, the sky was dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

"In the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, when Yushi Zhang Yi died, where were you?"

"Where were you when the old blacksmith in the east of the city died?"

"When the tea master Yan Suqing died...... Where are you?"

The general looked at him and asked indifferently.

The expression on Ning Que's face remained unchanged...... However, his body became stiff, if his previous questioning of the general was just a little trick to scratch his boots, then the three sentences that the general asked in a row at this time where are you are are a really sharp cold knife...... It can cut off the wind and rain and cut off people's heads.

He finally understood why Xu Shi was so cautious about himself, and even secretly investigated and suppressed, confirming that from Lin Ling, until now, the first person in the Tang Dynasty military, many people have noticed those murders, and even smelled the smell behind those murders.

In the general's mansion today, the general had this conversation with himself.

It's the general.

"When the imperial history Zhang Yi rode to death...... You were in the red sleeves, when Chen Zixian died, you were in Dongcheng, and when Yan Suqing died, no one knew where you were, but that day was the exam of the academy, and you had a gambling contract with Nanjin Xie Chengyun, but for some reason you didn't go to the exam...... Two days of sick leave were also taken afterwards. ”

The general stared into his eyes, and his words contained endless coercion...... Said slowly: "Don't think that you are really powerful, don't think that you can really hide from all the people in the world, don't think that you can erase the past by becoming a disciple of the master, I said that I know everything about you, then everything, one thing will not be less." ”

No one is missing, no one is missing.

This is the courage of the first person in the Datang military.

Ning Que heard the general say something like this for the third time today, and he fell silent for the first time.

There was silence in the room, and the poplars in the garden trembled slightly in the wind of the rain waves, and the leaves of the trees that should have lived further north whistled and seemed to fall to the ground at any moment.

I don't know how long it has been.

The general said: "The master once said, Tang Law first, this is not only the Academy, but also the highest creed of my entire Tang Empire, I will investigate the past matters, and if I let me know that you violated Tang Law, interfered in court politics or even plotted misdeeds in the future, I will punish you with Tang Law." ”

Ning Que suddenly stretched out his hand and folded the dishes that Mian Tao was sweating on.

Then he stood up, looked at the general and said, "Tang Lu is the first to pay attention to evidence, if the general can get the evidence of these murders, I will wait for the general in Chang'an Mansion." ”

After saying this, he saluted the general and then left Qingqing.

Walking out of the General's Mansion, not far away is the familiar Vermilion Bird Avenue, Ning Que walked on the smooth bluestone paved avenue, his expression was calm, and his mood was also very calm.

In the end, he was still guessed to be connected to those murders, which made him nervous, but he was not shocked by the conversation in the general's mansion.

Even if Xu Shi could sweep the world on behalf of the entire Tang Dynasty military, in the absence of evidence, he would not be able to accuse Ning Que at all, let alone cause him any harm.

Because he is not a small soldier in Weicheng now, nor is he a foreigner who has just arrived in Chang'an City, he is now a student on the second floor of the academy, and a great scholar who is close to His Majesty.

Now if you want to move him, you must first convince Your Majesty, and most importantly, you need to convince Fumou.

The attitude of His Majesty the Emperor, Ning Que could not guess, but he knew very well that the master would never care how many people his students killed, because the master did not care about the affairs of the world.

However, some parts of the conversation in the General's Mansion did have some emotional impact on him.

Xu Shi is right.

From escaping from Chang'an City, crossing thousands of miles of starvation, and entering the sinister and vicious mountains, in those turbulent years, from a certain point of view, Ning Que is a person who does nothing evil.

The reason why he does all kinds of evil is because there are all kinds of sins in the world in which he lives.

In order to survive in the world of all evil, he must do all kinds of evil.

Later, when he came to Weicheng and then to Chang'an, he came to the world of joy in Qingping and found that there were still many good people in the world, so he began to try to be a good person in the general sense.

No one is unwilling to be a good person.

Ning Que also wants to be a good person.

So since Weicheng, he has been learning how to be a good person, all the way to Chang'an City.

This and learning can be described as some kind of disguise, or even more like the formation of a second personality.

That and personality is very unstable dìng, sometimes bitter and mean, sometimes nagging, pretending to be shameless to please, some little fresh, some cute.

But the truest temperament in his bones actually stayed at the moment when he was four years old, holding a blood-dripping firewood knife in the firewood room of the General Doctor's Mansion.

If he faced external pressure, if he faced death again, that fierce and cold temperament would burst out from the deepest part of his body without hesitation.

This was the case on the night I climbed the mountain to the second floor.

This is true when you encounter a horse thief in the wasteland.

The same is true when the arrow shoots the prince of Longqing on the shore of Daming Lake.

It's always like that, it's not like that.

That's what Ning Lack.

Before he knew it, he had walked up to the Suzaku statue.

At this moment, the long-planned rain of late spring finally fell.
