Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

Qiu'er breathed evenly, but Gongsun Mingyue still didn't feel any sleepiness, he got up gently, sat on the edge of the bed blankly and watched the moonlight coming in through the window.

He put on a cotton coat, stood up and walked to the window, opened the window slightly, looked at the bright moonlight, and said in his heart: Are you okay?

"I'm fine, how are you?" Ponce said softly while standing in the yard looking at the moon in the sky.

Although we are in two places, I would like to share this bright moon with you.

Wu Yong sighed when he saw the general looking at the moon. Ever since Gongsun Mingyue left, the general had never slept peacefully. He didn't understand the reasons for this, but he clearly felt that the general had changed. up.

Wu Yong walked gently behind Pon Ce and was about to speak when Pon Ce suddenly asked, "How is it?"

"General," Wu Yong didn't expect Pon Ce to speak out suddenly, and said awkwardly, "General, you know that your subordinates are here?"

Ponce turned around and said with a smile, "I heard you as soon as you came. You think everyone is like you."

Wu Yong scratched his head embarrassingly, and showed a simple and honest smile: "Wu Yong is indeed not as good as the general's ears."

"Okay." Ponce turned and walked into the room, "Tell me, how is it going?"

Wu Yong regained his serious expression, and said: "What the general said is absolutely correct, we did find some people from the Qian Kingdom and Nanxia in the city, but these people all said that they were innocent, and no one admitted that they were from the Liao Kingdom or the Nanxia Kingdom. Xia's spy."

Pang Ce smiled contemptuously and said, "I guess Yeluliang also hid in the court for many years and no one knew about it a few years ago? So since he is a spy, how could he be discovered so easily by you?"

Wu Yong suddenly realized: "What the general said is true."

"By the way, I asked you to investigate the person who assassinated the king that night. How did the investigation go?" Pang Ce sat down gently at the table and poured a cup of hot tea.

Wu Yong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "General, you are really amazing. I have been staring at him for the past few days, and I feel that there is something wrong with him. He looks like the person who attacked you that night, but it is strange. Yes, why can he suddenly become so powerful?"

"do not know."

"Oh, by the way, how is Yan Xi doing recently?" Pang Ce asked after taking a sip of water.

"It's still the same, sleeping and not waking up." Wu Yong said flatly.

"We have no other way to treat him now, so we can't just procrastinate like this." Pang Ce thought for a moment and said, "You send someone to deliver a letter to Zhao Zhen, just say that Yan Xi has found it, and ask him if he wants to Send it back to the capital."

"General, is this appropriate?" Wu Yong looked at Pang Ce in embarrassment.

Pon Ce glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said, "What? Do you have a better way?"

"No subordinates. But Mr. Gongsun..."

"What's the matter with Gongsun Mingyue?" Pang Ce put down the water glass, "Don't worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, hurry up and do it."

"Yes."

After Wu Yong finished speaking, he immediately left the room, leaving Pon Ce alone at the table thinking.

Pang Ce understood Gongsun Mingyue's kindness, but this time he didn't listen to Gongsun Mingyue's words. Although he knew that Gongsun Mingyue would be unhappy, the opportunity and excuses were all in front of him. How could he let it slip away? Admitting failure after hard work is not something he would do.

It feels like I haven't dreamed for a long time, but tonight Pang Ce actually had a dream all night, in the dream is Gongsun Mingyue, his smile, his shyness, his tears, and the bottomless valley.

Waking up in the morning, Ponce felt dizzy. The scene in the dream was like a scene of real memories buried deep in his heart. He sat up and shook his head vigorously, hoping to wake up, but everything was in vain .

Suddenly someone knocked on the door: "General, are you awake?"

Suzaku's voice made Ponce get up from the bed, put on his coat and said, "Come in."

Suzaku brought in the washing water and said, "General, let's wash your face first."

Yes, he really needed to wash his brain with water, so he walked over and buried his face deeply in the washbasin, without getting up for a long time.

"General." Suzaku asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Pon Ce got up and wiped off the water on his face with a towel, and said lightly, "It's okay."

After washing his face, he tightened his clothes, sat down at the table and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Pan Chenliang is dead." Suzaku lowered his head and said softly, "This subordinate is ineffective, please punish me, General."

"Dead?" Pon Ce was surprised by the news, "Did you watch too closely and was discovered by him?"

Suzaku hurriedly said: "It's impossible. This subordinate has no time to pay attention to his affairs these days. I have withdrawn all the brothers who were following me, and only kept one. Since the general said to relax on him, I told my subordinates to watch if they can, and withdraw if they can’t, and don’t let him find out.”

Ponce felt strange, if they had no flaws, why would he die?Is it because he was drunk and said in a restaurant that he was a secret agent of Qianguo?This should have been arranged in advance by their own people, and Pan Chenliang just followed suit, but...

"Where is his body?"

"In the morgue of the dungeon."

"Let's go and see."

The morgue in the prison is dark and damp, and there is a smell of death and mold. Ponce saw Pan Chenliang's body in the middle, and walked forward. It was the first time he saw this person, and his burly figure was indeed somewhat Like Liao people.

Pon Ce looked at the corpse and asked, "Did you do an autopsy?"

Suzaku followed Pon Ce and said, "I've already experienced it. Because I was found dead last night, my subordinates brought Wu Zuo here overnight to examine the body."

"Did he die last night?" Ponce turned his head and asked in doubt, "Didn't he die at home?"

"No," Suzaku also found it inconceivable, "He died above the city gate, hanging high like a hanged ghost, and the night watchmen saw it, so they came to report it to me."

"Die on the city gate?" Pon Ce thought about this sentence, it sounded reasonable, but there was something unreasonable about it.

How did he get up above the city gate? Did he commit suicide or was he silenced when he hung on it?

"What does Wu Zuo say?" Ponce re-observed the corpse. Except for the deep strangle mark under the neck, there seemed to be no problem on the surface.

"Wu Zuo said he was hanged, he should have committed suicide." Suzaku said.

Pon Ce's face suddenly darkened, and he said unhappily: "What should be? What I want is his exact cause of death."

"Well... Wu Zuo said that he was strangled to death, and the strangle marks on his neck are not a problem, so it should be suicide." Suzaku's voice became lower and lower.

"Everyone is really trash. When Gongsun Mingyue was around, he would never say such words." Pang Ce couldn't help saying something, which made himself and Suzaku startled.

"Yes, Mr. Gongsun is really smart." Suzaku couldn't help laughing in his heart, even if their general thought about others, he would never say it directly.

Pon Ce coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Forget it, this clue is probably broken."

"General, that's not necessarily the case." Suzaku said mysteriously.

Pon Ce felt that there was something in his words, so he turned to stare at him.Suzaku smiled and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I don't think there is anything to see here, let's go back." Ponce turned and left after speaking.

While Pang Ce was busy going around, Gongsun Mingyue was having a hard time.

In the study of Zhang Yuan's mansion in Tiandu Village, Gongsun Mingyue was being attacked by Zhang Yuan and Li Binghao.

"Sun Gongzi, you said yesterday that you can help us attack the imperial court, what's your plan?" Zhang Yuan stood beside Gongsun Mingyue, waving his fan non-stop.

Gongsun Mingyue felt the cold blowing towards him one after another, the cold was unbearable, he had to dodge, but Li Binghao was sitting next to him on the other side, making it impossible for him to hide.

Gongsun Mingyue had no choice but to stand up and walk to the map from the attack of the two.

He pointed to the map and said, "Now that the imperial court has concentrated most of its troops on the border, they must be empty in the interior. Why don't we do the opposite?"

Zhang Yuan walked up to him, watched him pointing to a spot on the map, nodded unconsciously after a while and said, "It's indeed a ruthless move."

"Thank you, Master Guo, but to be successful, we still need the cooperation of Qianguo. A two-sided attack should be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile.

"No." Li Binghao suddenly shouted, "Who knows what that Yelujun is up to."

"No matter what his intentions are, I think you should have the same interests when it comes to the court," Gongsun Mingyue said.

Zhang Yuan stopped Li Binghao from continuing, and he slapped the fan again and said, "I think I'll be the one to lobby for this cooperation with the Liao Kingdom, maybe it will work."

"But..." Li Binghao didn't continue.

"Sun Gongzi, I think Brother Ling needs to go with me this time." Zhang Yuan said meaningfully.

"My brother? What does this have to do with my brother?" Gongsun Mingyue didn't know why.

"It's very simple. Isn't Brother Ling unwilling to cooperate with us? Then I think he might be willing to cooperate with Lord Liao."

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. He means to put me under house arrest so that you have to work hard for them." Sun Zhuling came in from the door and looked at them angrily.

"Why do you want to do this?" Gongsun Mingyue's eyes flashed unbearable.

"Sun Gongzi, we didn't say that we have fully trusted you, so it is always safer to keep a card in our hand, and I have thought about this card, and it seems that there is no better choice except your brother." Zhang Yuan Said.

"Since you want to keep the card, why not just stay here? I will also have scruples." Gongsun Mingyue walked up to Sun Zhuling, and put the note in his hand without a trace.

Zhang Yuan laughed loudly: "Here? Mr. Sun, are you kidding me? This place is so close to the imperial court, he has a chance to escape at any time, and well, the king of Liao Kingdom should like this gift I gave them very much." Gifts and cooperation are much easier to talk about.”
