Mask of Rebirth

The death row prisoner was tortured for a whole night, and was hanged for a long time before dying.

Wei Ziyang also had no sleep all night and day, and felt a little tired after finishing the drawings during the day, and was about to take a break when he was summoned back to the barracks by a command from His Royal Highness.

Unexpectedly, Qin Long's attitude towards him turned 180 degrees. Not only did he not ask about yesterday's disobedience, but instead he asked someone to serve him with food and drinks.

"Why does Mr. Wei look so bad, but he is not feeling well?"

"Your Majesty is concerned, and I am very kind." Wei Ziyang didn't buy into his account at all, and it was the same yesterday. Although the two of them had never had any feuds, Wei Ziyang just disliked him. Wei Ziyang, who had long put life and death aside, naturally didn't bother to curry favor with him. .

"That's good, Wei Canling hasn't eaten yet, right? Come, please sit down!"

The face of ignoring and ignoring Qin Long was completely invisible, and he still gave a warm invitation. Unfortunately, Wei Ziyang is the master of soft and hard. He cast a glance at Qin Long, bowed his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, I have already eaten. , I will not accompany you."

Qin Long was almost at the limit of his patience, and tried to maintain the smile on his face, "Then His Highness will not be difficult for others. I don't know about the list..."

"It has already been handed over to the Ninth Prince. If His Highness wants to see the order delivered."

Qin Long smiled, "It seems that Wei Canling and Ninth Brother really have a good friendship." Judging by Wei Ziyang's expression, it seems that the two have indeed developed a estrangement.

"My lord is too worried. I'm just following orders, and I don't dare to make friends with anyone in private!"

One sentence not only negates the relationship between him and the prince, but even Qin Long's solicitation has been branded as a bad name for forming a party for personal gain.Qin Long was annoyed, and the smile on his face had become almost distorted, "Mr. Wei, why bother to tell lies in front of others, the relationship between you and my ninth younger brother, no one in the army knows, why should Mr. Wei lie to himself!"

"So what? I don't know which law of Daqin I violated?"

Qin Long looked him up and down sideways, but Wei Ziyang didn't even bother to look at him. He stood there neither humble nor overbearing, slightly raised his chin, his thin body was full of arrogance, his tone was not good, and his eyes were not kind. The posture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.Thinking of the spy's report, this person really doesn't care about life and death, and he looks indifferent even if he is seriously injured and half his life is almost gone. You may not be able to settle anything with such a person.Thinking of this, he softened his expression, and said, "Mr. Wei misunderstood, my highness is just envious of the ninth younger brother who can know himself."

envious?snort!You treat me like a three-year-old child!

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Wei had risked his life to save the life of his ninth younger brother. His Highness was really moved when he heard that."

"This official just did what he was supposed to do in his job!"

Qin Long sighed, "If His Highness can have a confidant like you in this life, then he will die without regret."

"Your Highness is too flattering."

"It's not flattery, it's the truth... If His Highness can get a confidant like you, I will definitely give you a high official, generous salary, and supreme wealth, and share the world with you!"

Finally got to the point!It turned out to be a Hongmen Banquet!Wei Ziyang secretly rolled his eyes, "Your Highness is too flattering! I can't afford it!"

"Wei Canling may not be aware of it, but my father has long intended to make me the crown prince. Since you serve Qin, you will be my subject when I become king in the future. Will Wei Canling want to serve me then? "

"Your Majesty may not know it. I have planned for a long time. I will resign from the official position after the army is attacked and retreated. Whether it's a seclusion in the mountains or a shaved monk, I don't care about these trivial matters of the world! So..." The corner of the mouth raised. With an unshakable smile, "The lower officials don't care about those extraneous things at all."

Qin Long sneered twice, the way he looked at Wei Ziyang changed, and his anger was full of viciousness, "Wei Canling is really different, no wonder he is favored by the ninth brother."

"The so-called drinking with a bosom friend is less than a thousand cups, and it's not speculative to talk more than a few words. I hit it off with the Ninth Prince, so naturally we can talk."

"Indeed, His Highness is also very surprised that the ninth brother even disobeyed the sacred edict for you. But there is one thing that Mr. Wei must understand. Men love beauty, otherwise the ninth brother will not ignore you now, and hug him. The little beauty is so happy. From this point of view, the ninth brother treats you just on a whim."

Wei Ziyang listened to each word without refuting a single word. When he arrived, he sneered, raised his eyelids and said, "So what? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

Qin Long didn't expect him to be so open-minded, and then he was taken aback, "You don't mind?"

"The lower official ranks in the second rank. He cares about the people of the world, and the only thing he cares about is the safety of the people! Now that the enemy still cares about the love of his children, what kind of man is he!...Your Highness, I also advise you If you have this time, why don't you think about how to bring Lu Guo's army back to his hometown and restore peace to the world, don't waste time on these sowing discords!"

"you!"

Qin Long was furious when he scolded him!It's a pity that Wei Ziyang didn't give him a chance to get angry at all, saying "If your highness has no other regrets, I will leave as an officer." He left without looking back!

In a fit of anger, Qin Long smashed the wine glass in his hand fiercely, thinking in his heart: Don't eat the soft ones, you are forcing my highness to come down hard!You don't care about money, wealth, rights, status, life and death, I don't believe that you don't have any weaknesses!

Yes, everyone has weaknesses, and so do you!It's just that you don't know it yourself!

Wei Ziyang wanted to leave quickly when he got out of the tent, but unexpectedly, his luck was too low, and he happened to see a person he didn't want to see the most.

Xiao Nian was dressed as a soldier, and happened to pass by him, Wei Ziyang tightened the reins unconsciously, and turned his head to stare at his back.Xiao Nian seemed to have noticed his gaze, and turned around to meet his gaze.

It's true that the rival in love is extremely jealous when meeting, don't look at Xiao Nian who is usually timid and fearful, but there are times when she is not reconciled.Seeing Wei Ziyang looking him up and down without any scruples, he swept him unceremoniously, and finally landed on the mask under the bamboo hat, his eyes quietly revealed a look of contempt, and he thought: With your face Also want to climb the dragon and the phoenix?Stop dreaming!

"Ziyang!"

Wei Ziyang shifted his gaze to Qin Mu who was walking towards him, and immediately remembered the scene last night, his heart was filled with panic and discomfort, and he was about to leave, but Xiao Nian changed his expression instantly as if changing his face.

There was a forced smile on the corner of his mouth, and he wanted to step forward to hold Qin Mu's arm. Concerned about the presence of others, he raised his hand halfway and then retracted it. He just saluted Qin Mu, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of She was full of tears, and her eyes were about to fall.

Seeing him like this, Qin Mu was naturally suspicious, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Nian pursed her lips and did not speak, hid behind Qin Mu and quietly looked at Wei Ziyang, lowered his head as if afraid again, and shook his head slightly, "It's nothing."

From the beginning to the end, he only said these three words, but all the meanings have been expressed with that look.The play was so perfect that it fooled Qin Mu, and he looked at Wei Ziyang with dissatisfaction, "He is young, why should you make things difficult for him!"

Wei Ziyang thought to himself: It's true that you can get shot while lying down!

He couldn't help but gave a wry smile, whipped the whip down without saying a word, and rode off on his horse.

This time Qin Mu didn't chase after him, Wei Ziyang also expected it.Not only did he not chase him at this time, but Qin Mu also ignored him as if he had forgotten him in the next few days.

Wei Ziyang was quiet, and after finishing his business every day, he sat alone on the cliff with the jug, watching the moonlight and drank strong wine until the sky was bright, day after day.

That night Xue Tian went up the mountain to discuss important matters with Wei Ziyang. When the defenders went up the mountain to report, they found out that the leader was not in the camp at all, so he panicked and sent people to look for him.This search lasted a whole night, and when Xue Tian was furious and wanted to question each of them, Wei Ziyang came back unsteadily.

"Where did you go, brother? I've been looking for you all night."

"Brother is here." Wei Ziyang grabbed the teacup and poured it in regardless of whether it was hot or cold, touched his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

"you've been drinking?"

"Drink some, don't worry, you won't delay the business."

Wei Ziyang regards the military order like a mountain, and has never drank alcohol since he came to the army. Xue Tian knows him very well, and if nothing happened, he would definitely not disobey the prohibition order! "Tell me, brother, what happened?"

Wei Ziyang waved his hand lazily, "What can I do, it's nothing more than a glutton for wine."

"My dear brother, don't blame the elder brother for not showing affection. This country has state laws, and the army has military regulations..."

"I was caught by you just this once... If my elder brother wants to ask for a crime, I am willing to accept the punishment." Wei Ziyang spread his hands, "Is the punishment thirty lashes?"

"Add a class to the crime of officials!"

"Okay!" Wei Ziyang showed a drunken smile, and took off his clothes nonchalantly.During the torture, they could only wear the white clothes underneath, mainly to prevent the whip from being whipped in the same place, so as to prevent the wound from being too deep and touching the vitals. "Isn't it just sixty lashes, I can bear it."

Xue Tian originally wanted to frighten him and force him to tell the truth, if he was really tortured, let alone sixty lashes for his small body, twenty lashes would definitely kill him!Who knows that Wei Ziyang is not afraid at all, no wonder the people below say that he is a person who is not afraid of death, "You want to piss off big brother!"

Wei Ziyang knew that he couldn't fight anymore, curled his lips, and closed his clothes again, "Just don't drink from now on."

"Forget it, it's useless to force you if you don't want to. It's important."

"Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Xue Tian took out something from the package he was carrying with him and showed it to Wei Ziyang, "The weapon that the spies just intercepted is said to be made by Lu Guoshen Barracks, and it is extremely powerful."

Wei Ziyang looked at the thing carefully, and slowly frowned. Although it was only a simple prototype, made of bronze, without a bow or string, he could still guess what it was.Xindao: Actually a bow and crossbow has been made, Lu Yang is really amazing!

Seeing his stern expression, Xue Tian couldn't help feeling uneasy, "I wonder if the weapon made by my virtuous brother can withstand it?"

Wei Ziyang didn't speak for a while, and finally smiled a little bit, looked at Xue Tian sideways, and said with a smile: "I thought it was something powerful, but it's just a bow and crossbow, pediatrics!"

"Huh? Pediatrics?"

"It's childish, like a child's toy, it's not a problem at all!"

That was the artifact that Lu Guoshenbing had researched for a long time before he created it. He actually said it was a child's toy?Could it be that the weapons he made are more powerful than this? "My dear brother, what kind of weapon did you make, maybe let the elder brother have a sneak peek?"

Wei Ziyang thought for a while, looked at Xue Tian's face full of anticipation, and finally shook his head, "No, I will let you see clearly when I go to the battlefield."

"My dear brother, is that why you can't trust me?"

"Brother misunderstood, I just want to give you a surprise."

Xue Tian scratched his hair impatiently, "Aren't you making me sleepless!"

"Oh, brother, don't worry about it." Wei Ziyang turned around and picked up the most primitive crossbow and played with it for a while, "If I'm not wrong, Lu Yang will go to war immediately when he gets the weapon. I will delay it for a few days, at least three days, at most five days! When the time comes..." Wei Ziyang sneered, "I will give him a big gift!"

"Okay, big brother will definitely do it!" Xue Tian slapped him on the shoulder so hard that Wei Ziyang was immediately shortened, "Look at your body, you should take good care of it."

As expected of being a martial artist, his body became numb after being slapped down halfway, Wei Ziyang rubbed his shoulders helplessly, "Understood, if you're fine, brother, go back."

"Oh, by the way, when I came here, my lord asked me to send you a message, telling you to go back to the camp tonight and discuss something important."

Wei Ziyang laughed without hesitation, raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "Tell him, I'm not free!"
