Chapter 152: Reconciliation and Trust
Zhao Er was taken aback, he had already received a tip-off that this time the Qianren had sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they must have invested a lot of money to break through this mining valley, but they retreated easily in just one day, and they really couldn't guess what the Qianqian people thought. Immediately asked Yang Liqing: "Brother Yang, why do you think that the people of the Monkey are retiring so quickly?"
"I don't know why, but we do have to be cautious not to fall for the tricks of the sinisters. Yang Liqing said.
Zhao Er nodded and said: "Brother Yang is reasonable, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone!" I saw a herald running next to him, Zhao Er said: "Pass down the order, without my permission, you must not send troops to pursue without authorization." And the herald hurried out.
Zhao Er said to Yang Liqing: "Brother Yang hasn't eaten breakfast yet, why don't you eat with Brother Lin at my house?"
Yang Liqing didn't shirk either, and said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." So I had breakfast with Kong Rui and Zhao Xiuying.
As soon as the four of them sat down, they saw Zhao Er stand up, and bowed deeply to Yang Liqing: "Brother Yang, Zhao Er was a little suspicious of his brother a few days ago, and the truth was not revealed until yesterday. Zhao Er apologized to his brother for this this time, and hoped that his brother would not mind. ”
Yang Liqing hurriedly stood up, and also returned the salute to Zhao Er: "Whatever the second brother says, this time it is all the credit of Brother Lin." ”
This is obviously Gu left and right about him, Kong Rui was stunned, and said: "Where is it, this is Second Brother Zhao's command." ”
Zhao Er was originally a rough man, and when he saw that Yang Liqing pulled Kong Rui in, and Kong Rui pushed the credit to himself, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, everyone is a brother, and you don't have to be polite." Come on, come on, eat together. ”
It turned out that after Lao Xie disappeared for no reason, Zhao Er thought that there might be a mole in the mining valley, and under the secret investigation, he saw that most of the evidence pointed to Tian Hecheng and Yang Liqing, after all, the number of people who knew about this matter was very limited. Although it was later found that most of the evidence pointed to Tian Hecheng, given the relationship between Tian Hecheng and Zhao Er, Zhao Er was unwilling to admit that Tian Hecheng was a mole, and suspected more that Yang Liqing was a mole. At this time, the truth had been revealed, and Zhao Er did not hide his mistakes at all, so he directly apologized to Yang Liqing.
Yang Liqing saw that Zhao Er had such a mind, and he was also very moved at the moment, but he was not polite to him, so he said directly: "If Second Brother Zhao had been more low-key yesterday, we might have been able to kill Gu Jianhuo." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Er was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"Yesterday, we waited for the release of water to attack the Qianren, the second brother was too strong, how could the Qianjianren not be afraid? If they hesitated a little, maybe Captain Li would be able to catch up with Gu Jianhuo. Yang Liqing explained.
Zhao Er thought about it carefully, and there was indeed some truth, and hurriedly said to Yang Liqing: "It's Zhao Er's fault, you must listen to Brother Yang more in the future." ”
Zhao Xiuying saw that the mutual trust between the two had strengthened a lot, and she was also very happy, and hurriedly greeted everyone: "Don't patronize and talk, talk while eating." ”
It turned out that Yang Liqing had also guessed that there were traitors in the mining valley, but he was a little suspicious of some people, because he joined the mining valley late, he couldn't compare with those old people who had been following Zhao Er, so Yang Liqing acted relatively low-key and steady.
Sometimes, when Yang Liqing's suggestion to Zhao Er was not adopted, Yang Liqing also did some actions in private, such as those iron boxes used to shoot the soldiers at close range, Zhao Er thought that the city tower would not be lost, and there was no need to do this kind of thing, so he ignored Yang Liqing's suggestion, but fortunately, Yang Liqing saw that Zhao Er was unwilling to adopt his own suggestion, so he still insisted on making a batch, and there was a lot of pig iron in this mine, Zhao Er saw Yang Liqing like this, and he didn't mind, so he let him arrange it.
Zhao Er actually thought about the traitor in the mining valley, but he suspected Yang Liqing more, and he also adopted many good suggestions, but some things were not all up to him; when he saw what Yang Liqing wanted to do, Zhao Er sometimes ignored it, but in fact, he secretly monitored behind his back, but he didn't find any flaws in Yang Liqing.
Especially seeing that Yang Liqing had made such a batch of iron boxes in private, Zhao Er couldn't think of where they would be used, but seeing that these things were huge and bulky, he couldn't see any offensive effect, so he just arranged his own affairs first and watched how Yang Liqing moved. It wasn't until Kong Rui and he inspected the city tower together that he raised the issue of protecting the crossbowmen, and Zhao Er saw those wooden boxes again, so he thought that he might have misunderstood Yang Liqing, but the situation was tense at that time, and he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he just knew that Yang Liqing would not be a traitor, so he had to go down according to Yang Liqing's plan first.
Sure enough, everything went very smoothly, although there was Tian Hecheng, a real traitor, he was easily taken down by Kong Rui, and it did not affect anything; But these things have passed, and neither of them minds, but the trust between the two has deepened a lot, which is also very beneficial to the stable development of the mine valley in the future. Zhao Xiuying was also very happy to see the two of them like this next to her, so she opened her mouth and said to Zhao Er: "Second brother, you should listen to Brother Yang's advice more, just like those city towers, they don't even have a name, they are always the first, second, and third, how ugly." ”
It turned out that Zhao Er felt very uncomfortable with the names of these Wen Crepe, and just thought about being simple, and all the towers that had never given these three lines of defense a name, so they kept calling them "the first line of defense", "the second line of defense" and "the third line of defense". This time, Zhao Xiuying brought it up again, and Zhao Er also thought about it, so he said: "Okay, then take Brother Yang here and give these towers a name, don't really end up like your second brother, I only know that he is the second in line, and he doesn't even have a name." Everyone laughed.
Yang Liqing pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll rely on the second brother and reluctantly give them a name." This first line of defense of the city tower is called the city of the chieftain, this time we will beat the enemy chief to the ground, forcing him to flee the city, let's take this meaning of the tower. Kong Rui and the other three applauded in unison.
Yang Liqing said again: "The city tower of this second line of defense is called Fu Demon City, this time we have killed a number of demon cultivators on this city tower, this is also a great achievement for ordinary people such as me, let's take this meaning of this city tower." ”
Zhao Er couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Brother Yang really has goods in his belly, a good name." What about the third tower?" Yang Liqing's face became solemn, and he said, "The tower of this third line of defense is called Kongsu City." ”
Everyone was puzzled for a while, but Kong Rui faintly felt a little heavy, he thought that if the city tower here was named after the surnames of Kong Blacksmith and Su Qingyun, it would be to tell everyone, first, once this city was broken by the Qi people, everyone would be ashamed of the sacrifice made by Kong Blacksmith and Su Qingyun for everyone to take the mine valley later, and second, this is the last line of defense, once it is lost, everyone will really have to go underground to see Kong Blacksmith and Su Qingyun.
"Brother Yang, what does this mean?" The second brother and sister Zhao still didn't react, and Zhao Er hurriedly asked him.
"Second Brother Zhao forgot the surname of our original shopkeeper?" Yang Liqing asked rhetorically.
The second brother and sister Zhao looked stunned, immediately reacted, and said to Yang Liqing: "Okay, Brother Yang has a good name! Then I'll join in the fun and call the dam in front of the city of Kongsu Qingyunba. Everyone said, "Good name, good name." ”
It turned out that this dam was Zhao Er's thought that Su Qingyun had temporarily built a dam to divert water to flood the mine in order to completely destroy the mine, and he also built a dam in front of this third line of defense, and released water to impact the invading enemy when necessary, but he never named the dam。
