Chapter 31: Mid-Autumn Death
,
Ji Ge didn't spend much time in the Great Wall of Lishan, and he spent most of his time in the city, so he may not know the status of the word Zhongqiu in the minds of the million-strong soldiers of the Great Qin Tiger Division.
If you want to convict this old man in the current military tent on the basis of the following crimes alone, I am afraid that not only will he not agree to Zhongqiu, but also the millions of elite soldiers of the Great Qin Tiger Division will not agree to take people away.
Maybe it will lead to a mutiny in the barracks at that time, and even if General Wu Qi comes forward at that time, it will not end easily.
Therefore, if you want to confess your guilt today, you need another crime.
And this crime must also arouse the excitement of all the soldiers, and they will not be asked to stand up and say half a word for Zhongqiu.
This crime may not be there, so the current Zhongqiu looks like he is immobile and steady, so he has the time to drink and reverie here, and he is not panicked at all about Wu Qi and Ji Ge's arrival.
"Since we know that just what the Overseer is doing can't condemn him, then what are we doing here?" Ji Ge asked Wu Qi opposite him with the ripples of the heart lake, "Do you sit down and watch him drink?"
Wu Qi, who was sitting opposite, replied quietly with ripples in his heart: "Maybe you can finally drink and spit out the truth?"
Hearing Wu Qi's voice in his heart, Ji Ge also endured his temperament, this is not just his own business, since the general is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry.
The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, can he be full of food?
Seeing Wu Qi and Ji Ge's "eyebrows", Zhongqiu smiled, it seems that there is no need for him to spend it with these two people anymore.
So he palmed his hand, and there was an extra jade slip suspended in the void in his palm.
"Actually, why bother so much if the general wants me to die. Even if the jade slip in his hand was so important that he could judge his life and death, Zhongqiu God still said calmly.
"I don't understand what the general is saying. Wu Qi's gaze fell on Zhongqiu's body slightly, to be precise, it was on the jade slip in his hand, if he was not mistaken, it should be a messenger jade slip.
"Is the general curious about what is written on this jade slip?" Zhongqiu asked, holding the table with one hand, as if with some difficulty, as if standing up with some difficulty.
"Don't guess, I can tell the Admiral right now. Zhongqiu asked himself and replied: "This is a record of my recent dealings with the Wu Clan, and there is my special seal on it, so I can't fake it at all." ”
"What?!" Ji Ge's expression turned grim when he heard this, and he looked at the old man who stood up with a few shocks in his eyes, and said in disbelief.
In fact, it wasn't just Ji Ge, even Wu Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly covered it up.
Ji Ge looked at Zhongqiu with a stunned expression, and even now he still suspected that he had heard it wrong.
How could the great general of the Great Wall of Lishan who was in charge of millions of Great Qin Tiger Divisions have fornicated with the Wu Clan, and how could he have fornicated with the Wu Clan?
And now he said it calmly in front of himself and Wu Qi, and even the incriminating evidence was taken out.
And Ji Ge thinks that the reason why he did such a contrary thing is nothing more than two points, one is that he concluded that he and Wu Qi can't get out of this Chinese military tent, so they have to be a ghost when they die, and the other possibility is that the general in front of him already has the will to die.
Of course, Ji Ge is still more inclined to the first possibility, after all, no one will kill themselves, let alone Zhongqiu, who is in a high position and supports the army and is self-respecting.
But I thought that if it was really the first possibility I guessed, wouldn't I and Wu Qi be in prison now?
At this thought, Ji Ge spread his divine sense to the maximum, but under his divine sense, he didn't find anything unusual in the barracks.
Ji Ge and Wu Qi glanced at each other, and the latter also shook his head at him and remained silent.
Ji Ge, who already understood, pursed his thin lips, which means that now Zhongqiu has chosen the second path.
That road is called self-defeating.
"Don't doubt it. Zhongqiu turned his head to look at Ji Ge with a complicated expression, and said in a vicissitudes of voice: "What you have in mind is what I am doing now. ”
"Or... Or I can say that I am doing what you guessed now. Zhongqiu said with a smile: "It's just that now that people are going to die, they don't pay so much attention." ”
Ji Ge didn't take the words when he heard this, and was silent.
He still can't figure out that Zhongqiu will kill himself, and of course he won't take the initiative to ask.
Zhongqiu flicked the messenger jade that represented his own life to Wu Qi and said, "It's up to the general, you to decide." ”
Wu Qi took the jade slip steadily, holding it in his hand, "I thanked the old general for the Great Wall of Lishan." ”
Ji Ge, who was still confused, didn't understand how the current chess game could have become like this.
It seems that Zhongqiu has swept away the whole game after he has been out of the way, and he won't give you a chance to review the game at all.
Perhaps at this time, the only person in the world who knows Zhongqiu's mind best is Wu Qi, who played against him before.
"Let's go. Wu Qi stood up, put the jade slip that was enough to cause a sensation in the entire Lishan Great Wall as long as it was passed out, and kept it in his arms, and said softly to Ji Ge.
"Just let him go?" Ji Ge asked in a way that the martial arts were gathering sounds.
"He's already drunk a thousand wines, and he doesn't have much time left even if I don't make a move. Wu Qi's rich voice came from Ji Ge's heart lake.
"You already knew there was a problem with his drink?" Ji Ge asked with a grim expression and a slight frown.
Wu Qi did not answer his question, but walked towards the outside of the military tent.
Just as Ji Ge was about to follow, Mu Ran was stopped by a sound, and Wu Qi, who was walking in front, stopped his figure with him.
"General, I wonder if I can talk to General Chen alone?"
At this time, there were only three people in the military tent, and the person who opened his mouth was naturally the old general of Zhongqiu who had already drunk his own wine.
Wu Qi didn't nod or shake his head, just said lightly, "I'll wait for you outside the tent" and walked straight out, leaving Ji Ge and Zhongqiu alone in the military tent.
"I don't know what advice the old general Zhongqiu has?" Ji Ge Mouran turned around and asked with a smile at Zhongqiu.
Zhongqiu looked at the Ji Ge in front of him, who was better than the Great Qin Siya, as long as he experienced a few more battles, his name would really resound on the Great Wall of Lishan, and even among the young generation of the Great Wall in his mind, only he could take over the position of Wu Qi's general.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But he could see that the young man in front of him was not here, and the Lishan Great Wall would not be the place where he "turned into a dragon".
Thinking of this, he sighed softly, it's a pity.
Of course, Ji Ge didn't know that Zhongqiu would have so many thoughts just by looking at herself.
"I can't talk about advice, I just want to talk to you about family life. Zhongqiu said with a smile on his face.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhongqiu's gourd, as Wu Qi said, he was already a dying person after drinking Qianyu wine, and Wu Qi was still guarding outside the military tent, so he couldn't imagine how Zhongqiu would do anything to himself.
"How is your father?" asked Zhong Qiu abruptly in the midst of Ji Ge's thoughts.
"My father, he..."Ji Ge subconsciously replied, but as if he realized something, he stopped, and suddenly he looked up at the white man in front of him, who was only a foot and a half away, with a solemn expression.
"I haven't received a letter from my father since I came to the Great Wall, but I'm afraid that my father has forgotten me as a son. Ji Ge laughed at himself and said truthfully in the identity of Chen Ge.
As a minister, he really didn't receive a half-letter from the minister's family.
"You just have to talk about this in front of me, an outsider, if Ji Qingyun stands in front of you, I don't believe you dare to say that. Zhongqiu looked at Ji Ge, whose face was not red and his heart was not beating, and said with a smile.
Hearing Zhongqiu mention the word Ji Qingyun, Ji Ge's expression was grim, his hands hidden in his sleeve robe were clenched tightly because of nervousness, and his palms were full of sweat, "Forgive the younger generation for being stupid, I don't know what the mid-autumn seniors mean." ”
"Are you stupid?" Zhongqiu asked with a smile when he heard this, "If you are stupid, I'm afraid there will be no smart people on the Lishan Great Wall." ”
At this time, although Ji Ge's expression was calm, there were already huge waves on the lake in his heart.
How did he know where he came from? When did he know about it? Who else but him knew about it, and what should he do?
"Don't be so cautious, no one but me knows where you came from. As if he had seen through Ji Ge's thoughts, Zhongqiu waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to worry so much, and said.
"Since you don't want to admit it, forget it. Zhongqiu said softly: "Just when I said a dispensable joke, just listen to it." ”
Immediately afterwards, he said to himself: "When that kid Ji Qingyun first came to the Great Wall, he was in my Great Qin Tiger Master, and at that time, I could see at a glance that he was different from others. ”
"The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and when they encounter the wind and clouds, the dragon changes. Zhongqiu looked at Ji Ge with deep eyes, and said leisurely.
"The reason why I say that you are his son is because when I first saw you, I felt that your eyebrows and eyes looked like that kid, and then I followed the slightest clues to investigate, and you and Ji Qingyun had an intersection when they were in the army town at the earliest. ”
Ji Ge's narrow eyes narrowed when he heard this, waiting for his next words.
"But don't worry, I've cleared all the traces you left behind, so as long as nothing goes wrong, I'll be the last person on the Great Wall of Lishan to know your true identity. Zhongqiu comforted in a vicissitudes of voice.
"The juniors thanked the old general. Finally, hearing Zhongqiu say this, Ji Ge pursed his thin lips and saluted the old general who was standing and said, "The junior has thanked the old general. ”
In fact, this sentence is already a disguised admission of what Zhongqiu said before.
Zhongqiu, who heard the meaning of Ji Ge's words, stroked his white beard, and at this time, there was already black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, but the latter still didn't know it.
"No thanks, this is what I, as an elder, should do, and it should be regarded as a parting gift for you. Zhongqiu said with a smile.
Black blood trickled down his gray beard, which in turn dipped his beard into jet-black, and he didn't notice it until then.
"I've made you see the joke. Zhongqiu vomited a large mouthful of dirty blood, and even stained blood dripped down his beard and fell onto the placket of his chest, slightly embarrassed.
"There's something about the junior, I don't know if I should ask it?" Ji Ge said with a complicated expression at this time.
"Do you want to ask why I would self-destruct my reputation and be saddled with such an eternal infamy of colluding with foreign races when I am old?" Before Ji Ge could speak, the extremely empathetic Zhongqiu had already said for him.
Ji Ge nodded, originally he didn't want to have too much to do with the old man in front of him, but now that he has revealed his life experience, if he hides it anymore, it won't be him Ji Ge.
"If you can ask that, it means that another possibility has been born in your heart. Zhongqiu said with great satisfaction: "So I'm very happy." ”
"You guessed right, I deliberately had a relationship with the Wu Clan, and the place of contact was still that Hangu Soldier Town. Zhongqiu's voice became a little unnatural after saying this, and he reluctantly sat down slowly on the table, and at this time, there was black blood flowing from his nose.
"Senior, why is this?" asked Ji Ge puzzled.
"First, it is to make the matter of handing over the military power Tiger Fu justifiable, so that I will become a spurned person, and the millions of soldiers of the Great Qin Tiger Division will not be dissatisfied with Wu Qi because of their treatment of me. After all, he told Ji Ge all the plans in his heart and said: "Maybe in the end, some people will think that I am cheap to die like this." ”
"Of course, the next and most important thing is that I have communicated with the Wu Clan in order to obtain their military information, but the Wu Clan is not all stupid people, so if I don't gain their trust, they won't believe me. ”
"That's why you planned the Overseer's rebellion. After a little reminder from mid-autumn, Ji Ge quickly understood.
Zhongqiu nodded when he heard this, and continued: "Song Xiaoshan is just one of my fallen sons, but I didn't tell him the truth, first, this riot needs to be faked, and it is best to die, otherwise the Wu clan will still not believe it." ”
Hearing Zhongqiu say this, Ji Ge, who was quick with his mind, immediately thought of a possibility, and he looked at Zhongqiu with wide-eyed eyes, looking incredulous.
"That's right, there are spies of the Wu clan on the Great Wall of Lishan, although they are from the heavens and hundreds of clans, but they are still so lowly that they are the lackeys of the Wu clan. Zhongqiu's face was gloomy when he said this, and his killing intent was revealed.
If it weren't for the existence of the Wu Clan's secret agents, he wouldn't have gotten to this point.
"Do you know who it is?" Ji Ge asked in a condensed voice.
Zhongqiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and shook his head, "Don't worry, there will definitely not be only one." ”
"To be honest, what I'm most sorry for in the whole game of chess is Tao Jiren and his tiger camp, he was blinded by me from beginning to end. Zhongqiu said with a guilty face: "If you can, I hope you can talk to Wu Qi,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Let him let the pottery send people and horses. ”
Ji Ge touched his nose when he heard this, but did not make a sound.
"There can be one less Tao sender in the Great Qin Tiger Division, and of course Wei Wu can have one more Tao under the fence, you can convey this sentence to Wu Qi as it is. Seeing Ji Ge's embarrassment, Zhongqiu took the initiative to give him advice.
"I'll try. Ji Ge nodded and said, "It's just that the general didn't agree in the end, and I didn't dare to guarantee it." ”
At this time, Zhongqiu, who was sitting in the chair, had a pale face without the slightest blood, and he said weakly: "I have nothing to explain to me." ”
Zhongqiu waved at Ji Ge, signaling that he could go out.
"Finally, help me tell Wu Qi that he must be kind to the soldiers of the Great Qin Tiger Division. ”
"The last general will obey!" Ji Ge bowed and said heavily.
At this time, Ji Ge was no longer the commander of Wei Wushu, but a member of the Great Qin Tiger Division's Black Armor Mingrui, like his father many years ago, was a soldier under his Zhongqiu.
After Ji Ge walked out of the military tent, Zhongqiu, who was already sitting on the chair and had exhausted the spirit accumulated from hundreds of battles, looked at the back who walked out of the tent with cloudy eyes, and muttered inarticulately: "Ji Qingyun, you kid is such a tiger father without a dog." ”
In the end, the old man, who was already bleeding from seven orifices, slowly closed his eyes, and the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse and banner hunting echoed in his ears.
"Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fall into a dream. There were two tears in the corners of the eyes of the old general with blood on his face, "Old man, I did my best." ”
At the same time, above the canopy of the Lishan Great Wall, a star whose light had dimmed to the extreme finally fell.
Standing at the head of the city with a long sword on his back, Wuya stared at the flying fire meteor that fell to the sky, and he already understood something, he sighed faintly, and said with emotion: "Go all the way." ”
Ji Ge, who walked out of the military tent, tilted his head to look at Wu Qi, who had been standing outside the door, and was silent.
"I heard it all. Wu Qi said bluntly: "From now on, the Tao Jiren of the Great Qin Tiger Master has died because of his intention to rebel, and the one who is alive is under the Tao fence of Wei Wushu." ”
Hearing this, Ji Ge bowed to Wu Qi and said, "Chen Ge thanked the general. ”
"Let's go, we can go back. Wu Qi said lightly.
"There's one more thing I don't understand. Ji Ge took this opportunity to say something that he had been suspicious of for a long time, "Did you already know the intentions of the old general Zhongqiu, so you deliberately made a show for some people in front of the Yamen of the Overseer's Office?"
Wu Qi smiled noncommittally and did not reply to him.
"Do you want to let the soldiers of the three armies pay homage to the old general of Zhongqiu and then release the news on the jade slip?" Ji Ge did not dwell on this issue again, but changed his words and proposed.
Hearing Ji Ge say this, Wu Qi looked at Ji Ge and said with a serious expression: "No." ”
Then he looked at the towering city, put his hands behind his back and held his breath and said, "I know that you are trying to make Zhongqiu walk more steadily, but in fact, there is not much time left for us. ”
Without waiting for Ji Ge to speak again, Wu Qi's right hand was already on Ji Ge's shoulder.
"Again!" Ji Ge shouted with tears in her eyes.
It's just that Wu Qi didn't give him a chance to refuse, and suddenly his figure rose from the ground and disappeared into the sea of clouds.
In the General's Palace.
Wu Qi, who had returned to the mansion, came to a study with Ji Ge.
When Ji Ge walked into the study, he had already seen two acquaintances who seemed to have been waiting for him and Wu Qi for a long time.
The boundless old-timers of the Red Armor Inlaid Dragon Army and the Bai Liang of the white-robed Qi Division.
Bai Liang, who was the first to see Wu Qi and Ji Ge walk into the room, stood up.
He first bowed to Wu Qi and clasped his fists, and then nodded to Ji Ge, and asked him with the means of gathering the sound of martial arts, "Are you okay?"
Ji Ge shook his head slightly, and replied: "It's just that I suffered some skin trauma, and I won't die." ”
"It's over there. Wu Qi said to the boundless old-timers.
"I saw it when I was in the city. Wuya nodded softly and said.
The star that fell into the mountains and rivers of the world is the dead mid-autumn.
"I didn't expect him to die like this. The Boundless Old Senior's face was a little ugly and said, "He shouldn't have died like this." ”
Wu Qi walked to the window and said, "It's already like this, it's his own choice." ”
"Let's get down to business. Wu Qi turned to look at the three people in the study, and said.
The three people in front of him are not only the generals on the Great Wall, but also the three people he Wu Qi trusts the most.
Hearing Wu Qi say this, Ji Ge and the others all looked awe-inspired, especially Bai Liang, the strong and extreme battle intent on his body could still be felt even if he had deliberately suppressed Ji Ge, who was close at hand.
"I will release the news of Mid-Autumn's death soon, and I believe that this news will also be transmitted back to Hangu Bingzhen by the Wu Clan's internal Ying soon, so if my deduction with the Boundless Seniors is not wrong, the Wu Clan's side will definitely not miss this golden opportunity. ”
"What does the Admiral mean?" Ji Ge couldn't help but ask.
Of the four people in the room, only Ji Ge may still be full of confusion, as for Bai Liang, the previous Wuya old-timer had already vaguely mentioned it to him, according to the latter's understanding, although he had not heard Wu Qi really close the coffin, but in fact, he had already guessed in his heart.
Wu Qi glanced at the Wuya seniors when he heard this, the latter nodded, and the long sword behind him, which was originally named the Empress Jiang and was renamed the Thorn Whale, suddenly came out of its sheath, and the long sword slashed out four swords in the void, and these four sword moves were all different worlds.
Therefore, although this study room in the General's Mansion is still in place in the eyes of outsiders, it has actually been truly isolated from the world.
The reason why the Boundless old-timers did this was to avoid having ears on the wall, or even "having ears across the city".
"Okay, now we can say that. After seeing the long sword returned to the sheath and nodded to himself, Wu Qi said with a serious expression.
Immediately after that, Wu Qi waved his sleeves, and in an instant, a map of the battle with extremely vast terrain appeared in front of him, including the Lishan Great Wall and the Hangu Soldier Town.
On that battle map, the large and small military soldiers were scattered, and on it they all exuded a faint halo like stars.
Among them, the most halo is located in the southwest corner of the map, called Hangu Bingzhen.
Ji Ge saw Wu Qi stretch out his right hand and hold the light tightly in his hand, and said word by word: "Pull it out." ”
