Why are we always BE

Seven days had passed since the general saw Su Qing again.

The sound of the prison door opening spread throughout the prison, and the general raised his eyes to look curiously at who was coming.

Su Qing walked in wearing mourning clothes. When he saw the general who had gained at least ten pounds, he frowned and said, "Did you have nothing to eat in Shang? You are consuming food here."

In the past few days, only the prison has been open to meat. The reason is that the captive general asked for meat. The people in the prison asked, and Su Qing thought that he had to get some information about the assassination of his mother from this person, so he agreed.

"You are an enemy camp. If I eat more, your army will eat less. This may be the key to defeating Beiming." The general said with a glow on his face.

"There is no shortage of food for anyone in Beiming." Su Qing said coldly: "Tell me your name."

"Gu Zisheng."

"I don't have any information about you. Are you a scapegoat who was promoted temporarily?" Su Qing sat on the chair given by the prison guard, crossing her legs. There was no childishness of a ten-year-old child on her face. She was holding a hand that was half her height. Sword.

"Yes. I was originally an exile. I was exiled at the age of eighteen and was sent to a military camp." Gu Zisheng sat against the wall and said, "I just didn't expect that I would be promoted to the deputy commander of a small soldier just a few days ago. Heaven ascends to the position of ruler.”

"Shang Dynasty has regulations that all exiles are slaves for generations. Even if they are exiled to the army, they are still slaves. It is really not easy to work hard to reach this position."

"Actually, my position as deputy commander was promoted not long ago."

"Oh?" Su Qing raised the corner of her mouth curiously and asked, "No reward for no merit, what benefits did they give you to make you willing to die?"

Gu Zisheng thought for a while and said, "They allowed me to lead the troops on the condition that my two sons be freed from slavery."

"So honest. Is it because you think Shang's people will not fulfill their promises?"

"Yes. Relationships in the military camp are complicated, and having connections is king. The reason why I was chosen is because I have talent but no background. Although I have gained a certain prestige in the military for fifteen years, I have never been promoted. Now choose me as the leader. I stand out because I can command the soldiers without fear. As for my two slave sons, there is no need to worry whether they are alive or dead."

"And you, for your son, you have no choice at all, even if the price is your own life."

"Yes."

"Then I'll make you a promise." Su Qing held her chin and said with a smile: "I will bring your two sons back and let them live safely in Beiming as civilians in Beiming. Not only them, you can also Live well, okay?"

"What do you want? I have no real power and I don't know many military secrets." Gu Zisheng asked cautiously.

"Once a person has a weakness, he can do anything. You do it, and so do I." Su Qing's eyes were full of killing.

"1. I want to know how you learned about the mountain roads of the two mountains in the northwest."

"Second, why do you set the ultimate goal on assassinating my mother? What is your real purpose?"

"3. Who is the person who is secretly assisting you? What does he look like? Have you seen him? What is his purpose?"

Gu Zisheng took a breath and said, "How do you know that someone is helping you secretly?"

"You can tell if you think about it with your feet. With your stupidity, how could you know the routes of those two mountains, and how could you inexplicably spend so much effort aiming to assassinate my mother." Su Qing said lazily.

"If I answer these questions, you will agree to save my son, right?"

"Then it depends on how you answer. Another question, why did you give me a robe? Is it just because you think I look thin and worry that I will die from the cold and not be able to lead you?"

"..."

What's the last question... Gu Zisheng thought to himself silently.

"I'll answer them one by one." Gu Zisheng took a deep breath and said.

"Why did I give you the robe? It's not just because I'm afraid you'll die. People from the North Ming Dynasty have always had the habit of swimming in the cold winter months. Even if they walk in the snow without clothes, they won't die. The reason why I gave it to you is because you let me I thought about my two sons. Because of their father’s incompetence, he could not give them enough warm clothes, enough food, and a safe enough environment to grow up. The sons of exiles are just like ants. Whoever passes by You can kick or chop. When you said that your fake mother died and you were the only one, I thought of my two poor sons. My situation at that time was really similar to the situation you told the lie. . I wanted to kill you so that you wouldn’t have to suffer in the world like my two sons. Who would have thought? You said you could lead the way. The idea of ​​revenge is too strong. I think if I die, my My son should do the same. So I gave you a chance. Giving you a coat also hopes that in the future, my son will also be given a coat to keep him warm when he grows up. I never thought that this move of mine would save me. Taking his own life also brought hope to my son’s future.”

Su Qing's eyebrows moved, as if she didn't expect this answer at all.

"Now that I think about it, although you are a child, your deception and acting skills are quite good. I was actually deceived by you." Gu Zisheng smiled mockingly.

But now, I don't have a mother either... Su Qing thought to herself.

Su Qing was a child after all, and tears filled her eyes.

Gu Zisheng did not look at Su Qing and continued: "I don't know how they found out about the mountain road northwest of your camp, and I don't know their marching route. But recently, a white-haired man about eighty years old appeared in Shang's military camp. Old man. I think it probably has something to do with him. This person may also be the answer to the third question you want to know."

Old man? Su Qing became alert and signaled the guard to take out the portrait and hand it to Gu Zisheng.

Gu Zisheng took it with a confused expression.

"Open it and see if it's this person."

Gu Zisheng opened it with a shocked look on his face: "It's him, why do you have his portrait?"

"This is not what you should know." Su Qing said indifferently.

Su Zian was good at painting, and his photographic memory kept the old man's appearance etched in Su Zian's mind. Therefore, Su Zian quickly drew the appearance of the old man who told Beiming Mountain Road back then.

People cannot be resurrected after death, so it is now almost certain that the person who faked his death back then and suddenly appears now must be planning a new storm.

A conspiracy to weaken the national power of Shang and Beiming at the same time.

Su Qing thought to herself, this is going to be troublesome.

"I don't know who the other person is, but I heard my superior call him the Great Immortal. I respect him very much and don't dare to show any slights."

"I've answered the first, third, and fourth questions for you. I can answer the second question, but you have to be mentally prepared."

"You said."

"The reason why we target the assassination of your mother is because your mother is one of your father's few weaknesses."
