Innocent cast of white iron

"Marshal, how should the traitor be dealt with?"

Zhao Qi put down the pen and paper in his hand, tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, and asked after a while, "Where is this person now?"

"Responding to the marshal, this person is currently locked in a prison. Last night, the interrogation for a long time has not resulted in any results. We are only waiting for the marshal to make a decision." The attendant replied.

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, and said lightly, "If that's the case, it's useless to keep it." The implication was that he was ordered to be killed.

The guard said again, "Marshal, that traitor said he wanted to see the Marshal, and as long as he saw the Marshal, he would tell him everything."

Zhao Qi glanced at him, but smiled, and said, "This commander is busy with affairs, so he sees him whenever he wants, and kills him if he doesn't want to, so as not to dirty my eyes."

The guard hurriedly said, "Yes! This subordinate understands!" After saying that, he bowed respectfully before getting up and retreating.

"Wait." Zhao Qi stopped him suddenly, as if remembering something, he said, "Take me to take a look."

"Yes."

For such an insignificant person, just die.But Zhao Qi remembered another thing.The traitor was also the man in black who used to be a spy by his side. At that time, Zhao Qi felt that he looked familiar, and he always wanted to see what he looked like, maybe he was an acquaintance in private or something.In the current scene, even though the man had been with him for nearly eight years and still betrayed him, Zhao Qi was still driven by curiosity to take a look.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, he was greeted with a damp and cold air, the musty smell mixed with the strong smell of blood was disgusting.Although Zhao Qi went to the battlefield, it's just that he doesn't like blood and dust. He has fought a few battles, big and small, but he has always just sat leisurely in his tent, drinking tea and reading idle books. Naturally, he didn't suffer any hardships. .

Having never seen such a scene before, Zhao Qi frowned and said, "Where is the person?"

The soldier on the side quickly said, "My lord, the prison cell where the traitor is strong in martial arts and chained inside. Go this way!"

Zhao Qi followed the soldier, and there was a straight distance away. In the cell next to him, a prisoner jumped on the iron gate and shouted, "Let me out!! Let me out quickly! I'm going to kill you!" The prison was knocked loudly, and the head of the guard on the side immediately knocked on the door and window with an iron rod in his hand, and shouted, "Beast! Shut up! Or your throat will be smashed!"

The prisoners immediately quieted down, but they still stared at them fiercely with hatred.

Zhao Qi had never seen such a violent scene, but it was true when he thought about it. There are all kinds of prisoners in this dungeon. If the head of the prison is easy to bully, wouldn't it be a mess.

Just as he was thinking about it, the head of the prison ran over obsequiously, stretched out his hand and waved away the soldiers behind him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is laughing, these bastards have to be beaten hard to be obedient. The people you want to see Here." After speaking, he turned a corner and led Zhao Qi to the cell at the corner.

Here is roughly the terrain of brackets, the noise outside can no longer be heard clearly, but the sound of water dripping slowly from the top can be heard.clatter clatter.

Zhao Qi looked through a row of iron windows, and saw that the traitor was being shackled firmly to the wall, with iron chains on his hands and feet.

The man who often wears night clothes now has his upper body naked, with more than a dozen ferocious whip wounds lying in the middle, dripping with blood, there are new wounds, but there are also old wounds.The man bowed his head, his messy hair hanging down to cover his entire face.

Zhao Qi lifted his chin, motioning for the prison head to open the cell.The warden quickly took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and after searching for a while, he took out one of them and opened the heavy iron door.

"Adults, please come in. The younger ones are waiting outside. If you have something to do, just give orders."

Zhao Qi nodded, raised his foot and stepped in, and the iron gate was closed behind him.Probably when he heard the movement, the man moved his body with difficulty, but did not raise his head, his voice was hoarse and low, "My lord...you are here."

"Yeah." Zhao Qi found a clean stone bench next to him and sat down, "You see me, what do you want to say?"

"Ahem," the man seemed to want to laugh, but he coughed for a while before saying, "Then Xu Shan belongs to Luo Qingzhou."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and said flatly, "It's just this matter?"

"The two commanders under General Tang Mu were also bought by Luo Qingzhou."

This is not noticed.Zhao Qi said again, "Tell me what this commander is doing?"

"My lord, I am your secret agent." The man suddenly said, "You never take me to heart..."

Zhao Qi glanced at him, but smiled sarcastically, "I'm just a slave, if I put you in my heart, where will I put state affairs?"

"Your Excellency said so." The man first smiled, and then said, "Now I'm no longer a secret agent, but I didn't expect to meet you in this way."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, it seems that he is really an acquaintance?

"Your Excellency, it is likely that the nobleman has forgotten things too much, and I don't remember that I met you many years ago."

"I have met so many people, I can't remember clearly," Zhao Qi said.

"Oh, my lord doesn't remember, but I do remember clearly." The man said, "I remember that day in my lord's high school, I heard that the new champion was riding a horse in the street. Many people went to join in the fun, so I went too. Who knows, I When I was young, my body was unstable and I was knocked out, blocking your way. At that time, several knives were put on my neck, and I thought my life was gone. It was the adults who saved me. You let me go. I always remember the adults gently asking if I was hurt..."

Zhao Qi looked at him indifferently, without interrupting his speech.At that time, he himself was the prince's Taifu, the number one scholar in high school, and he routinely rode through the streets, but a young man jumped out and blocked his way.Zhao Qi thought to himself, that day he just gave him a pitiful look and let him go, just like letting a dog get in the way.Why did I remember it for so long?

The man said again, "I used to practice martial arts without paying attention, but later I thought that I would do things for you in the future, no matter what it was. I heard that Yihonglou is your official building, so I often went to talk to the flower fairy After inquiring about the news, she finally got her wish and let her take me under her command."

Seeing that Zhao Qi was still silent, the man gave a wry smile and said, "Your Excellency still can't remember me." Then he raised his head, and he could vaguely see a distressed face in the messy hair.

Zhao Qi was taken aback, and said, "Aren't you dead?"

The man coughed and said again, "Your Excellency is confused, how could I kill myself?"

It turns out that this person is Lu Ziyao who should have been dead for a long time!Leaning in the red building that day, Lu Ziyao implied to provoke the relationship between Zhao Qi and Liu Changqing, but Zhao Qi was jealous of him later, so he sent someone to remove him.

After that, Lu Ziyao disappeared and there was no news from him.Zhao Qi naturally couldn't imagine that Lu Ziyao was not only alive, but also living under his nose!

No wonder Zhao Qi asked about this that day, and what this person said was "There is no more Lu Ziyao in the world" instead of "Lu Ziyao's head has been taken off".

Zhao Qi suddenly understood, sneered, and said, "So, you didn't expect this commander to kill you, so you lurk beside him and wait for an opportunity to take revenge?"

Lu Ziyao shook his head, struggled a few times, and the shackles on his hands collided with each other and made a sharp and harsh sound, "My lord... this subordinate has never hurt your heart. The subordinate did help Naluo Qingzhou, but there was never a relationship To the safety of adults!"

"This is really new." Zhao Qi stood up, walked slowly in front of him, brushed his hair away with his fingers, pinched his chin instead, and said coldly, "So, you admire me?"

Lu Ziyao was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhao Qi frowned, his face was frosty, and he said, "Is this what you're referring to? Luo Qingzhou noticed your dirty thoughts and asked you to help him?"

Lu Ziyao said, "Yes..."

Zhao Qi thought clearly in his heart, and asked again, "Then, in Yihonglou, the person you are talking about is not Liu Changqing, but yourself?"

Lu Ziyao nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, whether I have admired you for eight years or put your portrait on the bedside, that person is me. I just want to tell you what is in my heart, who knows You are going to kill me."

"Even now, this Commander still wants to kill you." Zhao Qi let go of his chin, and said, "Who knows that Lu Ziyao, a playboy who is said by others to have a leaf among thousands of flowers without touching his body, is just a servant of this Commander. "

Lu Ziyao didn't answer, and said after a while, "I saw you again that day in Zhuge Ming's Yongle residence. I thought you would recognize me, but I didn't expect you to have no impression of me."

Zhao Qi didn't change his face, as if what he heard had nothing to do with him. In fact, it had nothing to do with him at all.

"Slap." Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and slapped him hard on the face, Lu Ziyao was taken aback, his face was turned to one side, but he didn't speak.

Zhao Qi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "Since you are with me, you should stop those dirty thoughts. Do you remember this slap?"

"This subordinate understands." Lu Ziyao said quickly.

Zhao Qi nodded, looked at him for a while, and then said, "This commander can give you a chance to make a contribution."

Lu Ziyao was taken aback, and quickly said, "Thank you, sir!" He thought that Zhao Qi would definitely kill him if these things were revealed.After all, when this matter was placed on Liu Changqing that day, Zhao Qi was also moved to kill him.

Zhao Qi naturally didn't care what he was thinking, and said, "After the injury is healed, immediately set off to Guangluo and take the head of that dog emperor Luo Zheng. I will give you ten days, or bring back your own head and give it to me."

Lu Ziyao said, "Yes! The subordinates must live up to their mission!"

"Very good." Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Open your mouth."

Lu Ziyao opened his mouth, but saw Zhao Qi pour out two pills from the bottle in his arms and stuff them into his mouth.

"My lord... this is?"

Zhao Qi glanced at him, and said lightly, "One for wound healing. One for poison."

Lu Ziyao was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Thank you for the reward, my lord."

Zhao Qi ignored him, turned around and walked out of the cell, and said to the head of the prison, "Take him down and ask the military doctor to give some medicine to heal his wounds. This man is still useful to me."

"Yes!" The head of the prison was respectful on the surface, but he was very worried in his heart. This person is still useful. He received the news yesterday that he was going to die.Fortunately, it was not killed, otherwise it would be a disaster!However, this person seemed to have only a few whips, and the torture inside was probably not very good.

Tsk, the people above are always going back and forth, it's really bad!
