Chapter 140: Drag Emperor Qing for a month!
Xue Rong was both scared and happy.
Of course, it's more about ease.
Because, compared to Jiang Zhihong, he believed what this subordinate said.
As long as this subordinate is not lying, then this must be the means of Taiping Dao from beginning to end.
Burning down the granary, artificially magnifying the consequences of natural disasters, delaying the relief of the imperial court, in order to incite a large number of refugees to rebel.
"That Jiang Zhihong, it's really damned."
"You actually want to trick me into betraying the court...... Fortunately, I didn't rush to do it. ”
"Jiang Zhihong is afraid that he will not be able to imagine that he will die, and I have a subordinate who just knows the truth."
"It's so dangerous."
"Millions of anti-thieves...... One bad thing is that lives are ruined. ”
"I almost became a sinner for the ages."
"Hmm...... In this way, in disguise, I don't believe Jiang Zhihong's words, it is to save the whole world. ”
"Well, that's true."
The more Xue Rong thought about it, the more noble he felt.
And that subordinate, the position in his heart has also been invisibly raised.
But just as he was about to say a few more words and motivate this subordinate, he suddenly found that something was wrong with the other party!
His eyes were a little evasive...... He's lying!
Xue Rong's heart suddenly cooled by half.
Looking at this subordinate again, that expression seemed to be mixed with a trace of fear.
Fear?
Why fear?
Xue Rong suddenly remembered the previous scene.
When he thought that the dust had settled and he was walking towards Jiang Zhihong, this subordinate was obviously the closest one to the city gate.
But when everyone caught up behind and asked him what he was going to do, this subordinate fell last......
Why is this happening?
Xue Rong narrowed his eyes.
He could only think of one possibility.
That is this subordinate, who heard what Jiang Zhihong said to himself!!
The sentence 'I advise you to kill those men of yours, try your best to delay time, and take this opportunity to escape to Taiping Dao'!
If so, everything makes sense!
This subordinate, from the front of the line, fell to the back of the line because he was afraid of killing people himself!
And that's not all.
This subordinate even came up with a solution!
What Taiping Road burned down the granary, what a large number of local officials were replaced, and what cousins served in the ministry.
It's all fake!
It's a lie made up by this subordinate in order to survive!
As long as he believes this lie, he will take Jiang Zhihong's words as a lie, and then return to the capital in a grand manner, and finally be secretly executed by His Majesty.
It's so ruthless, it's so poisonous, it's so powerful!
Thinking of this, Xue Rong's heart was cold.
"By the way, what's the name of your cousin in the ministry?"
Xue Rongpi asked with a smile.
"I don't hide this, my lord."
The subordinate hesitated a little, and said: "The cousin of the subordinate is of very low grade and has no reputation, but I am afraid that the adults have not heard of it......"
Click!
The man's head spun and twisted from his neck.
"Ho ho ...... Want to trick me into going back to Beijing and sending me to death? ”
Xue Rong's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and low, "It's a pity that Ling's lies are too clumsy. ”
“…… Adult"
The cavalry looked stunned, and some couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The last moment was a happy conversation, how can you kill people the next moment???
The general usually has to report a little, when did he become so moody?!
"Did he tell you anything else besides that?"
Xue Rong looked at his subordinates coldly.
“……”
Everyone looked at each other and moved back vigilantly.
Not to mention that it was originally a horse ride all the way, and there was no kung fu to say anything at all.
Even if he really said something, with the general's current appearance of choosing people to devour, he can't admit it.
"Didn't you say that...... Forget it, it doesn't matter. ”
Xue Rong smiled lowly, "Because, you all have to die!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the remaining twenty-one cavalry invariably chose to retreat.
There is no doubt that the general must have misunderstood something.
They don't know where this misunderstanding came from, but they know that whether they can resolve this misunderstanding or not, they have to save their lives first.
Pity.
As soon as they took a few steps back, the golden jade armor that had provided them with great strength and protection in the past suddenly began to squeeze inward.
Arms, torso, legs.
In an instant, they were firmly confined to their place.
"Whether it is the Silver Armor Floating Slaughter or the Golden Armor Floating Slaughter, the main general can control the life and death of his subordinates."
Xue Rong explained with a terrifying face, and disappeared in an instant.
Then there was a series of broken neck bones.
At this point, he was the only one left in the 6,000 Golden Armor Futu.
Xue Rong shook his bloodstained palm, his face was extremely cold, "If you escape, how will General Ben live?" If you want to blame your colleagues, who let him hear what Jiang Zhihong said to me by coincidence? ”
Xu Chong hid in greed, just stood in front of Xue Rong, carefully observing the other party's expression.
In fact, if you wrap it in a yin god, you will definitely look at it more carefully than the physical gaze.
Heartbeat, breathing, eyes, and the most subtle expressions, all add up to a rough judgment of psychological changes.
But the problem is that his three Yin Gods have shrunk to the size of a palm, and they can't wrap a complete person at all, so they can only use their naked eyes to collect information.
But now it seems that it is enough.
"This method is really outrageous......"
"I just strengthened a person's red light, so that Xue Rong could independently generate evil thoughts on him, and find enough support to continue to expand the evil thoughts, and finally put them into action."
"It's a pity, the Yin God is still too weak."
"Just controlling the blessings and misfortunes of a Tongmai martial artist consumes so much."
"It seems that we still have to find a way to improve."
Thinking of this, Xu Chong frowned slightly.
From the time Jiang Zhihong made a move on the Golden Armor Futu, until now, he has not gained anything.
For example, Jiang Zhihong.
Although Xu Chong didn't think about absorbing Jiang Zhihong's spiritual source at all, after all, he was close at hand watching Jiang Zhihong die.
So close is a fact that can't be escaped.
And the cavalry who died at the city gates, plus the twenty-two horsemen who died at the moment.
From the beginning to the end, he was not provided with even a little spiritual source.
You must know that the panel absorbs the spiritual source, but there is no restriction on killing it with your own hands.
As long as you are newly dead, you can suck it while standing on the sidelines.
It's just a matter of how much.
"So...... Is this the effect of an act of God? ”
Xu Chong was thoughtful.
There seems to be only one explanation.
At this time, Xue Rong suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
"I ......"
"How could I suddenly make a move?!"
"Obviously, I obviously believe in the words of my subordinates...... Why did it suddenly change!! ”
As if waking up from a dream, Xue Rong sat on the ground, his face full of horror and trance.
"Will the death of the manipulated remove its conscious effect on the rest? It's not good......"
Xu Chong frowned and continued to observe.
After a trance, Xue Rong's face became completely ugly.
He found that he had no choice now.
If he returned to Beijing to face the saint, he could be sure that he would not be able to hide the real cause of death of these twenty or so subordinates......
"Damn!!"
Xue Rong cursed angrily and stood up.
First, he walked to a slightly hidden place and dug a deep pit with his bare hands.
Then he turned around and killed the horses.
In the end, twenty-two human corpses and twenty-two horse corpses were buried.
After doing all this, Xue Rong sat back and buried his head in contemplation.
The whole thing, now in two versions.
First, Jiang Zhihong said that there is no Taiping Road at all, and it is Emperor Qing who is plotting to kill Yongzhou refugees.
The second is what his subordinates said, there is no Emperor Qing at all, and it is Taiping Dao who is obstructing disaster relief and taking the opportunity to incite refugees to rebel.
To be honest, no matter how he thought about it, Xue Rong felt that the latter was the real truth.
The dignified Emperor Daqing, what are you doing to kill refugees if you have nothing to do?
What's more, even if you want to kill, wouldn't it be over if you directly crush the army, why bother making it so complicated?
It's a pity that no matter what the truth is, he killed twenty-two Jinjia Futu.
After all the calculations, there is only one way left to go to Taiping Road.
"Taiping Road ......"
Making a decision, Xue Rong immediately stopped being distracted, frowned and thought, "I must find the people of Taiping Dao as quickly as possible and participate in unblocking." ”
"But no matter how fast it is, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a month to set it aside."
"A month, how can it be delayed?"
"If the Bloody Guards can discover the plot of Taiping Dao, then it proves that there must be someone left in Yongzhou...... Once the news of Jiang Zhihong's death came back, it seemed unusual for me to delay my return to Kyoto for any reason. ”
"And even if it can drag on for a month...... In what capacity should I approach Taiping Road?! ”
"Damn ......"
Xue Rong cursed again.
It was only then that he realized that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.
Finding Taiping Road is easy.
He still retains the identity of Dingtianwei, and if he goes to any bloody thousand households to inquire, he can get a lot of clues.
Even if there is no one in Yongzhou, it is too late to go to Linzhou.
But the problem is that Jiang Zhihong died, and he killed himself.
As the person in charge of Taiping Dao's plan, Jiang Zhihong's identity is likely to be not simple.
If you can't determine what kind of attitude Taiping Dao is, you must not contact Taiping Dao in your original identity.
Of course, it is not impossible to fabricate a fake identity, and Taiping Dao will accept it.
But the question is, in that case, why does Taiping Dao attach so much importance to it?
There are so many people in line, why should I arrange for you to be unblocked as soon as you come?
Xue Rong's mood plummeted into the abyss.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"You seem to be distressed?"
“!!!”
In an instant, Xue Rong's hairs stood on end, and his figure retreated violently.
"Don't be so nervous."
Xu Chong maintained his greed for light, and said lightly: "The old man is very curious to see you kill your own subordinates with your own hands, so come and take a look...... Can infiltrate the Golden Armor Floating Massacre, which family are you a descendant? ”
"Which one...... Six families?! ”
Xue Rong's face changed wildly, "You are a person from Taiping Dao?" ”
"Aren't you too, what's there to be surprised about?"
Xu Chong's tone revealed a hint of puzzlement.
"I ......"
Xue Rong hesitated for a while and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's identity?" ”
"Old man Zheng Huaikong, he should be regarded as your elder."
Xu Chong said lightly.
This is the name I heard from Hua Langyue.
"Zheng Huaikong!"
Xue Rong's scalp was numb.
He remembered the name.
Zheng Huaikong, the younger brother of the head of the Zheng family!
In the intelligence of the Bloody Guard, at least it is also a ninefold wash.
One-on-one, invincible!
"Why, you seem to be afraid of me?"
Xu Chong's voice froze, "You...... Not a person from Taiping Dao? ”
A move to pick up the stars pinched in his hand, and locked Xue Rong from afar.
At the same time, Xu Chong was a little puzzled.
It stands to reason that what Xue Rong wants to see most at this time should be the talent of Taiping Dao.
Therefore, he fabricated this identity, intending to guide Xue Rong on how to delay time.
Why are you scared?
"Spare your life!"
A huge threat loomed in his heart, and Xue Rong no longer doubted the identity of 'Zheng Huaikong', so he knelt down with a puff.
"Spare your life!"
"The villain was bewitched by Emperor Naqing, and he was confused for a moment to make such a big mistake!"
"Fortunately, Lord Jiang woke up, and the villain was able to get lost and return, and planned to completely break with the imperial court!"
"Please be enlightened, the villain really has no intention of killing Lord Jiang!"
Xue Rong kowtowed again and again, crying and shouting.
It turned out that I was worried about this......
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, increased the power of picking stars a little, and raised his voice slightly: "What! Jiang Zhihong is dead?! The old man has only been away for a few days, and Jiang Zhihong is actually dead? ”
"Adults spare your life......"
Xue Rong trembled violently, "The villain must change his past mistakes, and he is incompatible with the violent celebration!" ”
"It will be said in detail, if there is anything to hide...... You should know that verifying what you say is very simple. ”
In the spirit of doing a full set of dramas, the cold words spit out from Xu Chong's mouth.
And this, on the contrary, made Xue Rong's heart feel a little relieved.
He was afraid that Jiang Zhihong would be a key figure who could not be killed or killed, and now it seems that this is not the case.
At least this 'Zheng Huaikong' didn't do it for the first time.
As long as you don't do it, you have a chance.
So, Xue Rong honestly told the whole story.
Xu Chong frowned when he heard this.
This Xue Rong, there are too many ingredients, right?
actually completely blended what his subordinates said and what Jiang Zhihong said.
The whole thing has changed dramatically, and it has become 'Emperor Qing conspired to assassinate the people of Yongzhou, and the Taiping Morality Bo Yuntian reached out to help'.
said that his original intention was actually to let Jiang Zhihong be arrested and return to Beijing with him.
After all, there are so many subordinates, and there are many people, so I can only do that.
There are also things like waking up after being awakened, but regretting it is too late.
Xue Rong tried his best to package himself as a righteous man who was originally loyal to Daqing, but after knowing the true face of Daqing, he categorically chose to break up.
After a long discussion together, Xu Chong was stunned and impatient when he heard it, and it finally ended.
"It's not that the villain is greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really that the villain hates this storm, even if he dies, he has to die on the way to overthrow the storm!"
Xue Rong pressed his forehead to the ground and said bitterly: "Ask Senior Zheng to give the villain a chance!" ”
“……”
Xu Chong rubbed his eyebrows and said lightly: "Get up, Jiang Zhihong is dead when he dies, and since the old man has already learned about it, just send another person to continue." ”
"Thank you, senior!"
Xue Rong was overjoyed and kowtowed a few more times before standing up.
It seems that Jiang Zhihong is nothing remarkable.
"But ......"
Xu Chong's words changed, "If you want to join the Taiping Dao, it's useless to just rely on loyalty." ”
Here it comes!
I'm not afraid that you will make conditions, but I am afraid that you will not mention conditions.
Xue Rong's spirits perked up, "Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Help Taiping Dao and drag the court!"
Xu Chong spoke, "The longer the better." ”
"This ......"
Xue Rong's face changed slightly, and said: "The predecessors don't know, the matter of Yongzhou was found out by the Bloody Guards and transmitted back to the capital, and the villain guessed that there were still Bloody Guards lurking in Yongzhou at this time......
"You don't have to worry about this anymore, the old man left this time to deal with this matter."
Xu Chong said casually.
In fact, long before the locust plague, all the blood-clothed guards in Yongzhou turned into silence, either nesting in thousands of households or in provincial branches.
Needless to ask, this is deliberately done by Emperor Qing to delay the transmission of the disaster back to the capital.
And now...... The Bloodcoat will keep it that way.
Don't worry about anything at all.
"Seniors solved the Bloody Guard?"
Xue Rong was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "As long as there is no other person who delivers the news, I can delay it for at least a month." ”
At least a month?
This is different from what Dou Tianyuan said.
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "Tell me more." ”
"First of all, if you want to delay the court, everything must look real."
Xue Rong opened his mouth, showing his value as much as possible, "Therefore, Jiang Zhihong's death cannot be concealed...... Not only can you not hide it, but it is best to truthfully report what happened, as well as Jiang Zhihong's identity. ”
"I'll show you how to write this."
Xu Chong didn't care, "Go on." ”
That Emperor Qing must have known that Jiang Zhihong was not a thief.
If the report is conclusive and says that Jiang Zhihong is an important figure in the Taiping Dao, it will only backfire.
"Yes."
Xue Rong didn't care, and continued: "In addition to the news of Jiang Zhihong's death, I plan to fabricate some traces of the infestation of Taiping Dao and ask Emperor Qing whether I should return to Beijing directly with Jiang Zhihong's body, or stay in Yongzhou for the time being, and beware of Taiping Dao." ”
Reasonable......
Xu Chong glanced at Xue Rong in some surprise.
This Xue Rong has a bit of brains.
"If you count it down, twenty days will pass."
After a pause, Xue Rong explained, "The local post stations in Yongzhou have all been abandoned, and they have to be reported to Linxing, and it takes three days to return to the capital with the foot strength of Jinjia Futu, and it will take seven days to send the report back to the capital at the earliest...... This back and forth is twenty days. ”
"Even if the new will is for me to return to Beijing with the Golden Armor Futu, plus the time to rush on the road, it will be almost a month."
"If I want to be longer, I have to see if Emperor Qing will let me stay in Yongzhou."
Is it only a month......
Xu Chong thought about it and said unconcernedly: "It's okay, one month is enough." ”
It is not realistic to save Yongzhou just by delaying time.
In the end, it still depends on the 'other method' that Dou Tianyuan said.
"Senpai."
Xue Rong struggled, gritted his teeth after a while, and said: "It's okay for the villain to help delay for a month, but this matter is too risky, and in the worst case, after a month, I will be immediately cut off from my household registration ......."
"Don't worry, the Zheng family has a blood pool of heaven and earth."
Xu Chong smiled, "Even if you become a waste, the old man can still take you back to unseal and regain your memory." ”
"Thank you, senior!"
Xue Rong was overjoyed.
It's not that he doesn't doubt it at all, it's that he can only choose to believe it now.
