laughing soul

Although Dong Qi found the prefects of the six counties near the capital in time, but because of his haste and the trick of forgetting that the other party had a fake jade seal, he only convinced two of the counties, and the other four counties were not known by Wang Jiu. What ecstasy potion did Si and Qiu Jing pour into, and they even made a fuss to get this fourth-rank official who was bluffing and destroying the peace to rectify the Fa on the spot. Fortunately, Dong Qi brought some imperial guards to guard the left and right before he set off, otherwise, I really don't know how this old head can do it. Can't keep it.

Ever since his life was saved in the Weizhou Battle of the Northwest Army a few years ago, and now he was almost killed by a gang of unscrupulous people, Dong Qi secretly felt the huge crisis of not being able to protect himself at the end of the festival, and sighed in the carriage ahead of time .

And what chills him the most is that Qiu Sheng's speculation that Qiu Jingran is about to rebel against him has come true.

There is nothing more frustrating than a cub that has been raised so hard, but it turns out to be a Zhongshan wolf.

At this time, Qiu Jingran has already prepared the soldiers of the four major states and counties. On the grounds that the internal thieves disrupted the government and the court was weak and the emperor was fatuous and unable to stop the rape, he was about to lead this group of self-righteous rebels into the capital in one go. go.Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, things have come to this point, Qiu Jing has no way out, and there is nothing but a dead end, so he can only kill a bloody road out of this river of flesh and blood, the so-called family affection etiquette, all at this moment Forget it, don't care about it.

He just waited for Wang Jiusi to inform him that the allied forces in the north and south were already in full battle, and at the appointed time, he could fight his brother-in-law to the death.

And Deng Qi and Shaman Chuanmu, who were gradually falling into a stalemate with the war with Dayue, were waiting anxiously, hoping that Wang Jiusi had settled down with the current prince, and the three parties would attack from one of them, and Dayue would be disintegrated.

The court hall has become a mess of sticky porridge, Jiang Chen temporarily took over the post of Minister of Dali Temple, and ordered his subordinates to prepare iron rods, long whips, and chili water, just waiting for Zhong Han to catch Wang Jiusi and press him on the tiger stool He tasted all kinds of torture instruments of the Dayue Dynasty, but Zhong Han lost them.

Just as Qiu Sheng expected, Wang Jiusi found a man who was very similar in height and build, and handed over an official uniform and an official hat to this greedy and lustful desperado, and told him to keep a low profile Some time later, when Tian'er was free, he went to Zuihualou twice.Everyone wanted to eat and drink, so the two of them took advantage of this time to drop their bags. It was very dark in the toilet in the middle of the night. At such a time, the real king Jiusi successfully shed his shell.

Seeing that the unlucky man was in charge of the foreign affairs, Qiu Sheng hurried back to the capital. Seeing this posture, he knew that something was wrong, so he immediately dispatched almost all the Imperial Forest Army and Huadu's pro-army to fumble along the various forks, and ordered Capture Wang Jiusi alive and offer a reward of a thousand taels of gold.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lord Wang Jiusi, who was ordered by the pilgrim to be wanted throughout the city, and the deity who was eagerly awaited by everyone, did not leave the capital at all.

He tried his best, but on the day after Qiu Sheng returned to Beijing and almost emptied out all the troops in the imperial city, he was blocked by Chu Yu at the secret passage leading to Zuihualou.

No one would bring a group of guards when trying to hide their whereabouts. Even in such a dangerous situation, Wang Jiusi still kept a clear head and insisted on acting alone.However, in his perfect plan of a hundred secrets and one sparse, one Chu Yu was missed.

If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game.

To say that this matter is completely a coincidence, when Chu Yu sensed something was wrong, he really didn't care too much, and directly took away the only horse in Tianyuan Temple, Xue Xue, who ran away for thousands of miles, worrying all the way for fear of delaying the time, who would have thought that this would happen When he came back, he happened to be in time for Qiu Sheng to send troops outside with great fanfare. He was so happy that he didn't have time to tell Qiu Sheng again, so he directly went into the secret road to block people.

According to his thinking, Wang Jiusi will not be the kind of person who takes risks, but if the odds of winning the matter are less than [-]% or [-]%, he will give up this method without pity, so his retreat must be almost foolproof That's right.

The trick of catching a turtle in a urn is really too low-level. Presumably, Qiu Sheng will soon find out that this method is inappropriate, and then he will consider that it is Wang Jiusi who used this trick to trick the tiger away from the mountain. He is eager to stay away from the capital. Fang Lili broke through the encirclement, and when Qiu Sheng came back, everything was a foregone conclusion.

This move is very clever, but also very dangerous, what if Qiu Sheng deliberately left the Imperial Forest Army guarding the city gate?What if Qiu Sheng's footsteps were too fast, so what if he bumped into him when he was rushing out with his men and horses?What if someone among them betrayed and exposed his whereabouts?

It won't be Wang Jiusi's style.

Although Qiu Sheng will send troops back, he must be worried about Huadu, Liancheng and Zheng Nan will definitely stay there, and Zhong Han, who found out that he chased the wrong person halfway, has almost no possibility of returning to the old place of Zuihualou .

Thinking about it this way, for the time being, hide in the middle of the secret path and hide whereabouts. When the time comes and the pursuit of troops is relaxed, Zuihualou will be the best place to stay.

There was too little time, and Chu Yu didn't have time to think about other options. With the mood of taking a gamble, he waited for the protagonist at the secret road entrance of Zuihualou for only a cup of tea.

Wang Jiusi obviously didn't expect to fall into a shit at the last moment, and his expression was obviously stiff for a moment, but the old fox was still an old fox after all, such an unbelievable expression only existed for a moment and then disappeared.He slowly withdrew his right hand behind his back, and smiled calmly, "Young Master Chu, I really didn't expect that you and I would meet in this kind of place."

"Senior said that he killed Chu, this time is an honor for this junior," Chu Yu raised his head to meet his malicious smile, and laughed habitually, "to be able to escape with senior on the escape route." Reaching a consensus is really a fluke for the juniors."

With the hand hidden behind his back, Wang Jiusi gently took out a small package from his sleeve. In the dark secret passage, he could not see his fingers. He quietly put his left hand on his back, groping slowly, and said with a smile : "At this point, I have nothing to say. If Mr. Chu wants the golden thousand taels, he will tie me up as a face saint. Why bother talking here?"

After the words fell, there was no movement on the other side for a long time. Wang Jiusi suspected that the other party had noticed his small movements, and stopped in fear. He was just about to think about what to say to delay the time, when he heard a low sigh from Chu Yu .

He didn't even have time to retract his hands behind him, only to feel a slight wind brush against his ears, and then his wrists were tightly twisted.

"you…"

With a twist of his wrist, Chu Yu snatched the small cloth bag from between his tightly clasped fingers, opened it and smelled the powder inside, chuckled lightly, and sprinkled all of it on the ground.

"It's a pity, my lord, you are so loyal and willing to go to hell to keep their secret, but it seems that your monarch still doesn't trust you very much."

Wang Jiusi stared at him dumbfounded in the darkness. Taking advantage of his momentary blankness, the opponent who was groaning and smiling took the flint from his left hand. Just rubbing his hands lightly, the light instantly lit up. After seeing the entire Zuihualou secret passageway, Wang Jiusi stabilized his mind, and saw pity and sympathy in those eyes that were shining with fire.

The psychological defense line is falling apart. The man in front of him seems to be totally ignoring his thoughts. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. He smiled silently, and before the flames spread to his fingertips, he nonchalantly threw two pieces of flint thrown to the ground.

At that moment, Wang Jiusi subconsciously bent over and squatted down, and made a blunt movement to catch the fire, but suddenly withdrew his hand when the pain was about to burn to his fingertips.

What was sprinkled on the ground was the red blood that Deng Qi had given him for self-defense.

However, the cannonball that was supposed to exhibit unparalleled explosive power allowed the fire to fall on it peacefully, with some dots of fire flashing, and half a moment later, it was suddenly extinguished.

The surroundings were once again reduced to a bone-piercing darkness.

The Sirius totem on his chest suddenly felt an uncontrollable dull pain, as if the fire that had been extinguished by the cannonball ashes burned into his heart and lungs, along the skin and bones all the way up, dispelling those who had been dead in his brain. The broken oath was burnt clean, leaving behind a pile of scorched dross.

Chu Yu leaned against the wall without saying a word, condescendingly looked down at his trembling back, and gently closed his eyes.

What Deng Qi used to fool Wang Jiusi and win his trust was nothing more than the mute that Qiusheng sold to Loulan and Guijue back then. Taiping flowers.

The source of this immoral thing has to be traced to Chu Yu, but he doesn't have the energy to comfort this person at this time.

He was indeed too tired, if he was staying here alone at this time, he would definitely sleep like a dead pig within a moment.

There is no heating device like an earth dragon in the tunnel, and the only heat source was wasted by Chu Yu just now, and the surrounding temperature is dropping rapidly at a perceivable speed, Chu Yu opened his eyes in a daze, squinted, Seeing Wang Jiusi still kneeling on the ground in the same posture, he let out a long sigh, and reached out to help him: "Who is kneeling for? Even if it's still in the first month, there is no reason for juniors to give lucky money to elders."

Wang Jiusi looked like a pool of rotten meat that had been cramped and stripped of bones, but when Chu Yu stretched out his hands, he came alive. He tore open the shirt on the left heart, and took out a small knife that was usually used to peel the fruit. , savagely stabbing down at the Sirius head tattoo, the knife saw blood.

Chu Yu turned his head away.

The increasingly thick smell of blood gradually dissipated, but this person still had important information to explain, so Chu Yu rubbed his eyes, and barely braced himself to restrain his hands, and bandaged them with medicine.

During the process, Wang Jiusi was very quiet. He forced his eyes open, staring at Chu Yu as if he was thinking hard about something.

Originally swearing to follow General Kex's blood, and the loyal heart that voluntarily penetrated into the interior of Dai Viet to avenge the shame of his family and country, was half chilled by the death of the general, and now he meets such a monarch again. As a minister, there is no comparison This is more worthy of shame and embarrassment, and he was a little at a loss.

"You and I are the enemy."

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "It's up to each other, what's right or wrong?" After exhausting his physical strength, he saw that the boy who had been severely stimulated opened his mouth to chat with him again, Chu Yu was speechless. Rolling his eyes, he muttered "offend", just about to make him dumb with a blow of a knife, but he heard a commotion above his head, and someone was actually on top.

Zuihualou was closed long ago, so no one should come in anymore, Chu Yu held down the tunnel entrance, and shouted in a low voice: "Who!"

The door was smooth from the outside, Chu Yu slipped his hand, and the tunnel entrance was pulled open by the person outside, and the dazzling sunlight came in for a moment, his eyes blurred, but the person said in surprise: "Chu Yu Son?"

It was Zhong Han's voice.

He secretly thought it was funny, turned his head and said to Wang Jiusi: "I'm not the only one you missed."

While speaking, Zhong Han had already jumped down. When he saw the man lying limply opposite Chu Yu, he didn't show overly surprised, but turned his head and nodded at Chu Yu, saying, "Thank you."

Chu Yu was already a little sleepy, but when he looked at the old-fashioned Jin Yiwei, who was clearly in his prime, his sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he tilted his head and smiled and said, "Brother, I helped you arrest the most wanted fugitive in the city." , how do you plan to divide this golden thousand taels?"

In this situation and the situation, it was just a joke to amuse the bored, but this idiot actually took it as the truth and pondered it carefully for a long time, and seriously replied: "I can give you all of them. Just one thing, if the silver taels used for the marriage are not enough, I hope the young master will make up for it."

Chu Yu almost laughed out loud, seeing the seriousness on Zhong Han's face, he managed to hold back, nodded, and looked back, only to see that Wang Jiusi had passed out on his own, and quickly squinted his eyes to see After checking to make sure that this person is not in danger of life, he felt relieved and asked, "Where is Zizhan? But he followed the Imperial Forest Army all the way out of the city?"

No matter how unreasonable Qiu Sheng is, the emperor's name is still something that many courtiers must respect and dodge. In addition, Qiu Sheng's name is rarely mentioned, and Zhong Han didn't realize it for a while: "Who ?”

Chu He: "Qiu Sheng."

Zhong Han let out a "huh", and after a while, he seemed to finally realize that something was wrong, and baptized Chu Yu from head to toe with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "... Your Majesty is leaving the city with the army, I am chasing that fake I ran directly to the outskirts of the city, and found that things had changed, so I hurried back to Beijing, and when I found out that His Majesty was not in the city, I calculated back and forth, and guessed that this person might still be hiding in the tunnel, and took advantage of this opportunity to slip away again." He paused, and then went back to Beijing He glanced around at Chu Yu: "Your Excellency? Since it has been gone for a long time, why?"

Chu Yu laughed a few times, raised his thumb and pointed backwards, motioning for Zhong Han to be responsible for transporting the rotten meat back to the imperial court, turned over and exited the tunnel, patted his buttocks and prepared to leave.

Zhong Han: "Where are you going, Your Excellency?"

"Catch Zizhan back, take care of this person, and go with him to Nandaying." Chu Yu finished speaking slowly, and was about to step away, but suddenly turned around and reminded, "Delicious and delicious food to serve Come on, don't judge those who are there or not, send someone to watch him, and don't let him commit suicide easily."

Zhong Han frowned: "What Your Majesty wants is the communication between Wang Jiusi and the Northern Li Nanman. If this situation is broken, the war will turn around. If I do nothing, what if I miss the best time for interrogation?"

Chu Yu raised his hand, and at some point caught a black iron beetle in his palm: "That's not the case. The communication with the Nanman is through a little red bird that is exactly the same as a tomato egg, and it has already been caught right now; as for Deng Qi and Deng Qi rely on this iron bug. Now that these two things are in our hands, even if the two parties make trouble, they will definitely not have the same understanding as before. Since they did not attack at the same time, General Gao and Zizhan must be able to handle it Stay. This man is very smart, if he can use it for his own side, he will be like a tiger with wings."

Zhong Han's brows were furrowed even tighter, and he was about to open his mouth to say something more, but he saw Chu Yu standing on top, waving his hand at him smartly, saying "Farewell", and then disappeared suddenly.

I had to raise my hands and surrender to this person.

Wang Jiusi was disconnected here, and the three parties who relied on him to connect in one place were a little anxious, but Deng Qi and Shaman Chuanmu were people who had seen big scenes no matter what, and they were still calm when they encountered such a dumb situation. You have to hold your breath, so you don't blow up your hair like a teenage boy.

Qiu Jingran's anxiety and worry from the first few days, after some time of experience, finally completely transformed into hysterical madness, he waited for Wang Jiusi for a long time, so he didn't know where in his mind he figured out that this person wanted to abandon him Regardless of the conclusion, together with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who had rested carefree in the prison in the capital for a few days, he scolded the entire court, and finally decided to abandon those so-called allies and fight alone to fight his way out.

Before Wang Jiusi left, he picked a smooth-talking man from among his staff to be used by Qiu Jingran. No one has any objection to the obvious nonsense reason that there is a traitor around the current emperor and he wants to go to the side of the Qing emperor.

Fu Ren tried several times to dissuade Qiu Jingran from carrying out the plan to pick Qiu Sheng single-handedly, but to no avail. So far, there is no way out, so he has to bite the bullet and follow his customers all the way to the end.

To this day, when he looked at Qiu Jingran, who was standing not far away and dispatching troops, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He watched Qiu Jing grow up, so he naturally loved and cherished this child more. When Qiu Sheng was not in the capital, Fu Ren spent most of his time with Fu Ren, but there was some affection for his father and brother.Whether he plays with his temper or fights too much, to Fu Ren, it's nothing more than a child's immature temperament brought out at will, so it is too harsh to blame him as the reason for being deposed.

Then he entered the East Palace and became Qiu Jingran's general. Until today, he was deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself. It was also in the passing time that he realized that he had never really understood His Highness the Crown Prince.

In the mortal world, people become crazy and become demons, most of them want to find a definite or definite reason, whether it is blood feud, love or hate, it involves nothing more than a few words of red lips and white teeth, but they are entangled in their hearts for a lifetime , In the end, it is difficult to be redeemed, so he fell into the abyss and never returned to this world.

And what he couldn't see through was precisely this reason.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept his fate. It turns out that some people are born mad. They don't need to have any reasons or enemies.

Just after the beginning of the first month, Qiu Jingran led the troops of the four prefectures to go out of the city to the side of the Qing emperor.
