Chapter 602: Die together
Chapter 602
The boy took the big bird and left, leaving only Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi outside the car.
"Get in the car and stop." Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Chao and said softly, "Be careful all the way."
Wu Chao nodded "OK", but he didn't move.
Then, he said to her: "Don't worry, when I return to Ningyang, I will write to you to report safety. You are in Linyuan, and you have to deal with everything carefully."
"Well, I know it all." Xu Mingyi nodded.
Wu Chao didn't speak any more, but he still didn't turn around, and just stood there looking at her for a while.
It seems that I have already said what I should say, and it seems verbose to say it again, but in my heart it seems that there is still a lot of time to say in the future.
Looking at each other, the moon is cool and the breeze is light.
Zhong never said clearly, there are still dissatisfaction and worries in the end.
Looking at each other silently, Xu Mingyi suddenly felt a bit astringent in his eye sockets and his nose suddenly became sore.
If it is possible, she doesn’t want to care about people taking risks. When she first returned to this life, she was dreaming about how to become stronger and how to better protect the people around her.
But her power alone is still too slim. It is even more impractical for her to support everything by herself.
But then she gradually felt relieved--
Because all of this was not meant to be supported by her alone, she was surrounded by people who were capable, responsible, and willing to trust her.
Like grandfather, like Wu Chao.
They are all capable and powerful people, but the fetters and worries between people will not be weakened by this.
Looking at each other for a while, under the moonlight, the boy opened his arms.
She rushed forward and hugged him.
The crow green silk robe on the boy is clean and soft, and has a slight coolness that has been soaked in moonlight, with his unique refreshing breath.
He hugged her, pressed his jaw lightly on the top of her hair, and said to her: "Zhao Zhao, since my grandfather has agreed with my aunt and Xu Ershu, then the marriage between you and me is roughly settled..."
Although is an affirmative tone, there are young people's anxiety and temptation in the voice.
He was still a little afraid that she would not agree.
Therefore, this sentence has some tricks to try to "pass through the confusion".
But in the face of the sweetheart, even the skills are used awkwardly, and the minds and cautious temptations of those young people are not completely hidden.
Xu Mingyi buried half of his face on his shoulders, his voice was a little dull but he didn't hesitate: "I think so too, so you have to take care of yourself. We still have many things to do."
She never said "Who wants to talk to you about marriage", "When did I promise to marry you?" Such meaningless words, she wanted to marry him, it was not a secret.
"Okay!" She clearly heard a heart beating fast and powerfully in the chest of the young man in her ears, and some of the ups and downs were also filled with smiles: "Then you are going to get the bride price on this trip--"
"Okay." She raised her head from in front of him, looked at him, curled the corner of her mouth, and said with serious eyes: "Wu Chao, I am waiting for you to hire."
The boy has always had a face without much expression. At this time, he heard a smile, showing a neat row of white teeth.
"Come on, don't delay." Xu Mingyi glanced at the direction of the carriage behind him and said.
Wu Chao responded, seeing the wind rising, and then raised his hand to cover her with the hood behind the sandal-colored cloak, moving carefully to tidy the edges, and finally leaned slightly, gently pressing her cool thin lips on her forehead.
Then I got on the carriage and left.
Xu Mingyi didn't immediately turn around and go back, quietly watching the carriage disappear into the night.
The wind suddenly rose stronger, and she raised her hand to tighten the cloak, and there seemed to be his breath on it.
But she was no longer in tears at this time. She believed that the difference between the present and the day must be to meet better in the future.
The girl turned around and returned to the door. The moon and stars above her head were scarce, and the night was like a river.
……
Eight hundred miles away, the night of the capital suddenly became arrogant and noisy due to a heavy rain.
Halfway through , the sounds of Beizhen Fusine remained unquenched.
In the torture room where the felon was detained, the nose was full of blood and rot. A man wearing a green robe of Wei Baihu walked out of him, wiping the blood on his fingers with a cloth towel, and cursed. : "It's so **** unlucky. I haven't tried anything yet, so I'm so breathless..."
The subordinate next to him answered, "My lord, all these Zixing teaches things are hard bones, and they have never been able to ask any useful clues... just like the endless flies. It seems like there is no trick for anyone to change."
The man wiped his fingers, threw the cloth towel to the subordinates beside him, adjusted his sleeves, and said, "The new commander makes the adults appreciate me in this way. I don't want to be able to make any achievements. Love—"
The subordinate eagerly agreed, but he kept his lips secretly in his heart.
What appreciation and love...
To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of getting a hundred household official positions by sloppy beards and horses.
Han Yan, the former commander of the security guard, was seriously injured on the way out of the city to hunt down the king of town. After some treatment, it was delayed for seven or eight days, but he still did not hold on.
As soon as Han Yan died, Jishiwei changed the sky.
After the new commander Wang Tong took over Jishiwei, he turned up a silent and **** storm that washed away Han Yan's confidant.
If someone comes down, someone wants to go up.
Regardless of high or low.
This Baihu named Zhao Guo was lucky enough to get on this boat.
Between the two of them talking, passing through a cell, the prisoners’ painful groans were heard in their ears, mostly decayed and feeble, as if there was no vitality.
"Zhao... Zhao Guo?"
A slightly faint voice passed into the ears of Baihu.
Zhao Guo stopped and looked at him subconsciously. He saw a man crawling on the ground in a cell next to him. He couldn't distinguish the color of his prison uniform. He was struggling to look up at him with his dirty and messy hair. He covered most of his face, only revealing a pair of faintly familiar eyes.
Who is this?
Zhao Guo was a little curious, he bent his head slightly and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Who am I? It turns out to be Brother Yue!"
"It's... it's me!" Seeing him recognize himself, Yue Pei's eyes brightened, as if he couldn't hear the mockery in the other's tone, or in other words, after many days of torture, he almost failed to hold the last. The experience in one breath has left him no time to take care of the so-called ridicule and face.
Now he just wants to live!
Seeing him like this, Zhao came over with interest, and simply squatted down across the cell, and looked at the blood-stained lower body of the other party, who was obviously unable to move. He could only squat on his lower body, and gave a pitying "tsk": "...Before, brother Wen was involved in the case of Xia Tingzhen's murder of Zhen Guogong, and he was quite worried. When I saw it now, my brother really suffered."
He and Yue Pei grew up together, but from childhood to adulthood, whether it was wrestling with strength when they were young, or the future, the other party always wanted to crush him.
Before that, he had been rolling for so many years, but he was still just a little nameless guard.
After the opponent entered the Beijing camp, he easily obtained the official position of Chief Qian.
Compared with those who are truly superior, these little people are just ordinary people. If there is any enmity worth mentioning between them, there is no one.
is just not pleasing to the eye.
Of course, that was before.
Now when he looks at the other person, he feels more pleasing to the eye.
"But... Brother Yue is obedient to Xia Tingzhen, and the other party has already committed suicide in fear of sin. The case is over. Why was the brother brought into this prison?"
Looking at this, it is clear that he has been severely punished.
Yue Pei lowered his head and gasped, as if he was accumulating energy, and did not answer his question for a while.
The subordinate next to him lowered his voice at the right time and said: "Zhao Baihu didn't know. Although Xia Tingzhen was dead, he had a lot of corruption and bribery for personal gain. After the confiscation of family property was integrated and compared, there were still few. Nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver..."
Two hundred thousand taels is not a small number.
Especially nowadays there are frequent wars, where is no money?
Yes, the palace has made a decree earlier, and must trace the whereabouts of the two hundred thousand taels of cash.
It was not only Yue Pei who was secretly taken to imprisonment, but anyone who was ordered by Xia Tingzhen who might have clues to the matter was sent over.
Zhao Guo cursed in a low voice.
200,000 taels!
He couldn't think of these silvers just by listening to them, and he would not be able to save them for ten lifetimes!
These rich and rich officials are really **** damn!
No wonder everyone wants to climb up!
"Can you find out where you are going?"
"Some eyebrows...It was probably hidden in a few Zhuangzi outside the city. I was searching for it these past two days."
Zhao Guo's eyes moved slightly: "Who handled this matter?"
This is a very greasy job, if you can...
The subordinate faintly guessed his intention, gave a dry laugh, and said: "It's Hu Qianhu..."
Zhao Guo frowned.
This is a goose plucking thing. Both hands have always been held very tightly, and a drop of oil and water does not want to leak out. With this person, fishing a copper plate is nothing!
Inexplicably, Zhao Guo, who had missed a lot of white flowers and silver, looked at Yue Pei again, and lost his thoughts of falling into trouble. He sneered and said: "Since I have eyebrows, it seems that I will live well in a few days, or die. I don’t have to stay here and suffer this crime again."
said, he wanted to get up and leave.
However, the corner of the robe was held tightly by the hand protruding from the cell.
"and many more……"
Yuepei strenuously moved forward and moved her body, her voice was dumb but eagerly: "I have something to tell you..."
"Why? There is still a last word to confess?" Zhao Guo chuckled and said, "There is no one in your house. Who do you want to leave this last word to?"
"No... it's extremely important..." Yue Pei shook his head, and said: "Come here with your ears..."
Zhao Guo patiently leaned over.
The voice was as low as a wisp of weak wind on the bank of a summer river with a fishy smell in his ears: "Earlier I had hidden five hundred taels of silver, where no one knew..."
Zhao Guo's eyes lit up immediately.
After staring at those bloodshot eyes for a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and said, "Go and guard elsewhere, I will reminisce with Brother Yue."
"Yes."
The Qishiwei obeyed his orders and retreated.
"Go ahead, what do you want me to do for you..." Zhao Guo asked bluntly.
He was not stupid enough to think that the friendship between the two of them was too shallow. The other party said this at this time because he wanted to give him silver in vain.
"Other busyness is okay, but if you want me to save you, I'm sorry I can't do it." He said this beforehand.
Although the Lord Zhenguo has turned against him, those who participated in the murder of the Lord Zhenguo in the past will not be charged that much, but Yue Pei is Xia Tingzhen's person——
Now the bloodbath of Xia Tingzhen's party in the DPRK and the Central Government has not stopped.
He finally got the opportunity to become a hundred households, and he barely entered the commander’s sight. He still has a future...
Under this situation, ask him to do this kind of adventure that will lose his head once it is found out. He is afraid that he will be crazy before agreeing.
Silver is tempting, but only when you are alive can you have a life.
He is sober, and Yue Pei is also unable to be so whimsical.
Only because of the two of them, even if they were secretly out of prison, what about after that?
Not to mention the eyes and ears of the imperial court, now that the Lord Zhen Guo has turned against him, he is under martial law, and wanting to leave the capital is simply a dream...
Just say a little bit——
He is now a half-worn body, life and death are in the hands of others, if Zhao Guo takes him out of the prison, and after he gets the silver, he is killed by a single blow for the end of the trouble, he can only bear it!
It is impossible for him to make such a deal that would give him money and his life in vain.
Especially, he is not really desperate right now...
so--
"Naturally not... I just want to ask you to deliver something for me. As long as the item is delivered, I will tell the truth about the place where the silver is buried when I hear back!"
Zhao Guo slightly narrowed his eyes: "What? Who is it for?"
When the voice fell, Yue Pei turned over with difficulty.
"Prickly—"
He tore off a corner of the blood-stained prison uniform.
Then, he bit through the pad of the index finger.
Zhao Guo stared at him—is this writing a blood book?
However, the content of this blood book made him wonder.
The other party tremblingly wrote the word "Pei" on it with a finger, and nothing else.
After finished writing, she tore the linen cloth in half and held it in her hand to Zhao Guo: "Try to send this thing into the palace and give it to Royal Concubine Rong..."
Rong noble concubine? !
Zhao Guo was slightly surprised.
Yue Pei stayed here all day long, almost ignorant of external affairs. Although Zhao Guo was a guard, but his official position was low, he did not know what the Royal Concubine Rong did on the day of the Taimiao-at the emperor. Under the direction of the author, this matter was still kept secret.
It means that even the Rong family members are only Rong noble concubines. Now they are staying in Yongfu Palace gracefully. They are worried and sick because of the kidnapping of the little prince, and are now recuperating.
"Do you want Concubine Rong to help you?" Zhao Guo was suspicious: "Why Concubine Rong can save you?"
A coldness flashed through Yuepei's eyes.
begging?
Heh, he is not begging her!
He waited for so long, and he didn’t see any intention of saving her...This stupid woman was more cruel than he thought!
He suffered all the torture alone this time, but she lived in Yongfu Palace and enjoyed the glory and wealth with peace of mind...
In this case, he can only ‘help himself’!
After sending this thing in front of her, she had better learn more and try to rescue him as soon as possible, otherwise...he is dead, and she has to pull her back!
He is going to die, what reason is there to keep the secret for her!
To die, everyone die together!
