When Zhang Mingqi opened his eyes again, his ears were filled with the clanging of shackles on his feet, and the figure in front of him stood quietly, like a high mountain watching over the fields, and he could hardly hear the sound of breathing.

He glanced at it slightly, and didn't pay much attention to it, just lay on the straw and stretched, and smiled: "It's not a good habit to peek at other people's sleep, not to mention a dirty and smelly death row inmate, it's nothing worth seeing." ”

Last night's fighting had made him now covered in dark red blood, with some yellow straw mixed between his dirty hair, and a bruise on his forehead, making him look dirty and embarrassed.

Sun Qing, who was standing upright, raised his brows slightly when he heard this, and then said softly to the jailer outside the prison door: "Boil some hot water and wash him." ”

There is no temporary prison in the army, but this prison in Kangzhou has been established for a long time and has everything available.

It was just a bland sentence, and the jailers who were eager to please the eldest young master of the Sun family quickly got busy, and with the sound of whirring and panting, several jailers carried hot water into the cell door, and retreated respectfully.

Zhang Mingqi sat up at this time, looked at Sun Qing, chuckled, but he was not polite, he directly picked up the water scoop, took the snow-white towel, and began to seriously clean the blood stains on his body.

He felt a little pain as the cold well water and hot water slid across his skin, carrying away the clotted blood and the knife cut on his back.

But Zhang Mingqi didn't blink, just scooped one scoop after another, washing his body seriously, as if he regarded these two buckets of water as the last precious gift in his life.

After changing into a pair of dirty and tattered clothes, Zhang Mingqi, who felt dry and clean, let out a sigh of relief, drank a well water with a scoop of water, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Come out and have a drink together. Seeing Zhang Mingqi take care of himself, Sun Qing turned around, let the door of the cage open, and walked straight towards the table that the jailer usually used.

He didn't do any guarding, and he didn't send jailers to escort him, naturally because Sun Qing had such confidence, even if Zhang Mingqi wanted to escape, he could guarantee that he would stab this student who Gao Changgong valued most in a single breath.

Zhang Mingqi naturally knew this truth, in the battle last night, he saw Sun Qing fight three little grandmasters alone and kill them one by one, this young man who was originally the talent of the Sun family is now becoming more and more like a monster.

Perhaps, he can really break Gao Changgong's speed of breaking the mirror and become the youngest grandmaster master in the world?

So he followed behind Sun Qing generously, but he dragged the shackles under his feet, walked a little slowly, and pulled down a few positions.

On the table was roast chicken, elbows, and a few green side dishes, Zhang Mingqi sat down, saw Sun Qing was about to pour him wine, and shook his head: "No need, I'll quit." ”

"Quit?" Sun Qing's hand stopped in mid-air and did not tremble at all.

"Quit it. Zhang Mingqi nodded affirmatively, stretched out his hands to tear the roast chicken, and said with a smile: "You know, I got married recently, and the insiders always kept me from drinking, for fear that I would delay my business." ”

"I remember that you used to like to drink the most, especially Du Kang from Yulinju. Sun Qing still slowly poured the white porcelain wine glass, poured it for himself, and picked up the wine glass, "I respect you." ”

Since he mentioned it before, even Zhang Mingqi had to sell Sun Qing's face, so he also raised his glass and entered this cup with Sun Qing, and found that the wine in this cup was really Du Kang of Yulinju, a little surprised and a little moved.

Yulin lives far away in Jianye, so naturally it is impossible to transport it here overnight, presumably Sun Qing has prepared some in Kangzhou in advance.

Although when the Zhang and Sun families were friends, he also came to Kangzhou to play, Sun Qing even went with him to hunt wild bears and roast rabbits in the mountains.

In fact, anyone who has really gotten along with Sun Qing will know that although this person is very indifferent on his face, he is also a loving and righteous person.

It's just that his temperament is too proud, and he is always unwilling to show the warm and weak side to others, which gives him a feeling of rejection from thousands of miles away.

Those who gathered around him were either to make friends with this young talent who represented the future of the Sun family, or to get some benefits from the Sun family.

These people may be able to cheer for Sun Qing on weekdays, but when it comes to life and death, I'm afraid none of them will be willing to stick a knife in his ribs.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingqi also sighed slightly, and said, "I can probably guess why you are doing this, but I still want to say that it is really not a wise move to pull the entire Jing Wu just to be an enemy of your father." ”

Sun Qing didn't rush to answer, just continued to pour himself wine, this time he was drinking alone, and there seemed to be some thinking in his eyes.

Zhang Mingqi saw that Sun Qing seemed to be a little loose, and continued: "What's more, what if you kidnap the general? Paper can't contain the fire, sooner or later, these 100,000 troops will realize the problem. Your uncle Sun Tong is really an idiot, and the 'Qingjun side' banner he raised is a joke at all. Few people in the entire Jing Wu cared about the young little country lord, but he wanted to let others beat his own people in such a name, and he could only be the one who failed in the end. ”

Although such words are somewhat irreverent, they are true.

As long as anyone who really understands the Jingwu Dynasty knows that the reason why Zhuge Wanling chose the child of the Liu family with the blood of King Ye as the lord of the country was actually the result of mutual concessions between the Heshi clan.

It is impossible for the scholars to accept Zhuge Wanling as their own king, because this means that Zhuge Wanling is a "king", and they have become "ministers", and the cooperation between the two has become unequal cooperation.

Carrying out that child can be used as a buffer, so that the Jingchu Gang and the Shi Clan can check and balance each other, so that neither side can easily sit down.

Although this would involve the sacrifice of an innocent child, these things are obviously not in the consideration of both sides.

"When you're done, let me tell you. When Sun Qing heard this, the eyes in his pupils recondensed, and he said with a bit of sarcasm: "Do you know why you were defeated by me last night? Because from the beginning, you made a mistake, I have never kidnapped the general, and I don't need to hijack the general, because this is what the general himself is willing to do." ”

Zhang Mingqi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asserted: "Impossible, how could a general make such a decision." ”

"Believe it or not. Sun Qing still had that indifferent expression, and gently shook the wine glass with one hand to make waves inside, "I just want you now, do you descend or not?"

"What if it falls, what if it doesn't?" Zhang Mingqi showed a bleak smile, knowing that this was Sun Qing's intention, but could he give a satisfactory answer?

"Down, we can still be brothers, and I will even help you regain what your father lost. Sun Qing's eyes were deep, "I remember that you once swore that you would definitely take back everything you lost, and even take back the price from those who turned their backs on your father, and now that the opportunity is in front of you, isn't it just what you want?"

Everything Lost...... Zhang Mingqi was a little distracted for a while.

He still remembers the helplessness of his father when he was imprisoned, and despite the mechanical knocking of his hand on the heavy vermilion lacquer doors, the response he received was either silence, "powerless" persuasion, and even a frightened and malicious expulsion.

Those uncles and uncles, who were originally very kind and could talk and laugh, seemed to have changed their faces overnight, showing their original green fangs, which really made him feel the cold of the world and the sinister hearts of people.

In that heavy rain, he finally angrily complained to the sky against the closed gate of the Sun Mansion.

He said that if he could regain power one day, he must take back everything from the Zhang family and punish everyone who turned his back on the Zhang family.

Originally, this was just a roar from his anger and despair, but he didn't expect Sun Qing to remember it and say it at this moment.

However, at that time, Sun Qing never showed up, let alone said a word of comfort to him, but Gao Changgong took him in again, and Qin Ke, Abu and others put aside their prejudices and accepted him, so if these words are said today, can they still be said in the same way as in that rain?
