Innocent cast of white iron

Within the time for a cup of tea, Xu Shan had already rushed back.As soon as he entered the marshal's tent, he fell to his knees with a plop, crying, "Marshal! You have been wronged!"

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, and said, "This Commander hasn't convicted you yet, so you're calling for wrongdoing first? Don't you think that Commander-in-Chief is confused and can't figure it out?"

Xu Shan hurriedly said, "Back to Marshal, the last general has no such intentions. It's just that just now... General Mu told the last general everything on the way back just now. Marshal, the last general is indeed suspected of this matter, but these are all thieves." What a conspiracy! The last general has never had the heart to murder the military supervisor, let alone betray Dahan, I beg the Marshal to investigate!"

Mu Jiancheng on the side also quickly chimed in, saying, "Marshal, there are indeed many doubts about this matter, and it cannot be concluded that General Xu did it because of this matter. Besides, General Xu is loyal to us, Dahan, and the world can learn from his heart!"

Zhao Qi glanced at him, and smiled slightly with his lips raised, but it was meant to be mocking.He tapped his fingers on the table, and asked lightly, "So, General Mu guarded himself and lied about the theft, and the thieves plotted against him?"

Mu Jiancheng was taken aback, and quickly knelt down on the ground, repeatedly defending, "Marshal, this... this matter, this matter has nothing to do with the last general!" Seeing Zhao Qi's black eyes looking at him indifferently, It was hard to tell whether it was a cold intent or a murderous intent. Mu Jiancheng was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for his life, "Marshal, please give the general two days! The general must have captured the thief alive and found out the whereabouts of the military supervisor! "

"Two days?" Zhao Qi sneered and said, "You might as well wait until the prisoner is dead before you catch the murderer."

Mu Jiancheng shuddered, and hurriedly said, "One day! Marshal, give the general one day, and the general will definitely find out the real culprit!"

"What if we can't find out?" Zhao Qi asked.

Mu Jiancheng secretly thought that he would not escape death after all, took a deep breath, and then shouted aggressively, "Everything is due to the general's negligence. If the murderer cannot be found after a day, the general is willing to die to apologize!"

"Very good." Zhao Qi nodded, and said to Xu Shan, "Xu Shan, I ordered you and Mu Jiancheng to search for clues to the murderer immediately, within a day. If the real murderer cannot be found after one day, Don't blame me for being handsome."

"Yes! The last general takes orders!"

"Yes! The last general takes orders!"

As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, a figure rushed in, and even lied to the guards at the door to sneak into the camp without a sound. It wasn't until Zhao Qi stood still in front of Zhao Qi that Zhao Qi suddenly realized that someone had come in.

That person is Lu Ziyao.It was obvious that he had recovered from his internal injuries, but he was supposed to be with Liu Zhao at this time, so why did he come here?

Suddenly a person appeared in front of him, Zhao Qi frowned naturally, and said that no matter how many hidden guards he changed, they were all in vain, no different from a dead person, and the person who should appear in front of him would eventually appear.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Qi only glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.

Lu Ziyao was silent for a long time, standing on the spot like a wooden stake, and said after a long time, "Your Excellency, leave the matter to your subordinates. Within four hours, your subordinates will be able to bring Master Liu back."

Zhao Qi raised his lips and smiled when he heard the words, put down the things in his hand, raised his eyes to look at him, the calmness in his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, only to hear Zhao Qi say lightly, "You just count How many things have you done to betray this commander these days."

Lu Ziyao stood aside, no longer the black clothes worn by secret guards or secret agents before, but the plain white long clothes worn in Zhuge Ming's Yongle Ju Peach Blossom Forest when they met for the first time, he looked naturally a gentleman , it's no wonder that people call him the playboy Lu Ziyao.

I saw that Lu Ziyao lowered his head, he was not as unrestrained and calm as he was that day, but he was respectful and restrained, looking at the ground quietly, without saying a word.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Qi said again, "Can't count?"

Lu Ziyao lowered his head even lower, and said, "This subordinate deserves death."

"Has the poison occurred?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Ah."

"How does it feel?"

"It hurts so much."

Zhao Qi stared at him with a half-smile, put his chin on one hand and smiled in satisfaction, and said, "Do you have a long memory?"

When Lu Ziyao heard this, he quickly knelt down to show his loyalty, and said sincerely, "My lord, my subordinates will never disagree again. From now on, Ziyao must obey what your lord says."

Zhao Qi didn't answer his words, since Lu Ziyao could betray once, who knows if there will be a second time, it is already unbelievable.Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, otherwise Zhao Qi would not use him.

"From now on, the toxicity will occur every three days. If you don't want to suffer, follow the orders of the commander. This is the antidote, come and get it every day." Zhao Qi said, took out a porcelain bottle from the drawer under the table, and threw it into his hand.

Lu Ziyao was taken aback for a moment, the porcelain vase felt like burning coals in his hand, and his burning palms were extremely painful.Lu Ziyao stared at the porcelain vase in disbelief for a while, then knelt down on the ground, and said in a low voice, "I understand." His heart ached like insects.Now Zhao Qi and him no longer trust each other, without this poison, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get half a step closer.

After all, it was his own fault.It was already close enough, so close that it was only one step away, but now there is a cliff between them, and it is impossible to take another step forward.Betrayal has always been unforgivable.

"Go down if you don't have anything to do." Zhao Qi stopped looking at him, got up and put on the cloak on the screen and walked out of the tent.

Speaking of this cloak, it was the one that Liu Changqing took off and put on him back then.I still remember that day when he hurried back to the prime minister's mansion from the palace, in Suqiu's weather, he was only wearing a cold inner coat, he was in such a mess, when he got off the carriage, he saw Liu Changqing standing at the door, and then took off the cloak and put it on his shoulders, After carefully tying it up for him, he said, 'Teacher, why did you come back dressed like this? '

Oh, by the way, Liu Changqing still called him 'teacher' at that time.

Zhao Qi curled up his mouth and smiled softly, stroked the fox fur on the edge of the cloak with his fingers, thinking, Liu Changqing has only been gone for a day, and he is actually thinking like crazy.One more day, and his heart would be tossed to death by him.She thought that Liu Changqing was the one who hated her own suffering the most, but she didn't expect her to be duplicity and frightened him so much. When she comes back, she must give him a good lesson.

"See the Marshal!"

"See the Marshal!"

"See the Marshal!"

All the patrolling soldiers or soldiers in the past kowtowed to him, and then went back to their own business.Without even looking at it, Zhao Qi walked out of the barracks and stood on the huge grassland.It was already sunset at this time, and a huge orange sun had already set halfway over the vast grassland, and the layers of fiery red clouds reflected in the surrounding area looked dazzling.

Xijiang is dry and hot during the day, but humid and cold at night.After a while, the sun went down and the temperature plummeted. Without firewood to keep warm, it is absolutely impossible to stay on the grassland for an hour.

Zhao Qi stood for a while, then suddenly raised his lips and smiled in a low voice, his eyes gradually darkened.Liu Changqing, if you have a little brain, you should know how to get me to find you.

"Come on!"

"Your subordinate is here!" The soldiers stood at attention quickly and waited for the order.

Zhao Qi held back his smile, looked into the distance quietly, and after a while he revealed a smile that was sure to win, and said, "Send a pair of men and horses, and after dinner, I will go out to the camp with the commander to find the whereabouts of the supervising army!" In the huge grassland, there is no trace of him during the day, but at night there is naturally a way to make that person invisible!

"Yes!"

After dinner, the sky dimmed, and there was only a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by stars, which was really beautiful.But at the moment, no one paid attention to the beautiful scenery.The iron hooves stepped on the grass and made a passionate and majestic 'dongdong' sound, from far to near.After a while, I saw the dust raised up, beating one after another under the dim moonlight.

Zhao Qi pulled up the reins, and the horse raised its front legs high, stopped after turning half a circle on the spot, took a few steps forward slowly with small steps, sniffed the moisture on the ground with its nose, and then He raised his head and let out a long breath.

Zhao Qi reached out and patted the top of its head, then looked at the remaining fire beside it, which was still emitting green smoke.It can be seen that the man has not gone far.

"Marshal, this person is nearby. Apart from the grassland, there are only bushes half a person's height in this place. I will ask someone to search for it."

"Go."

"Yes!" The leader was Mu Jiancheng's Commander-in-Chief at that time. Seeing that he was calm and unhurried, he sent two groups of soldiers to patrol around, and sent several soldiers to search in different directions.

Zhao Qi comforted the horse under him for a while, then asked casually, "What's your name?"

The commander replied, "My subordinate Zheng Ze is from Quanzhou."

Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Very well, after this incident, I will ask the emperor to order you to be the deputy general."

The commander-in-chief was favored like a king, and hurriedly replied, "Marshal must not! Subordinates, subordinates have no merit or virtue, why should they serve as deputy generals!"

Zhao Qi didn't speak any more, and looked at a group of soldiers who came back not far away.

"Bang" the leader dropped a woman from his horse, and said to Zhao Qi, "Marshal Qi, the subordinates just found this woman in the bushes, she must be hiding here secretly The disappearance of the supervising army cannot be separated!"

The woman quickly got up and knelt down on Zhao Qi's horse, begging for mercy and crying, "My lord! The women don't know anything! The women escaped from Tusu City and went to Rongcheng a few days ago. I was about to rush back, but when I met these military masters, the women were just afraid of the knives in the hands of the military masters!"

Zhao Qi frowned, it was not just a woman who was able to bring Liu Changqing out of the barracks, besides, this lady looked weak, she might be seriously ill, let alone that.However, a woman appeared in this place, saying that she escaped from Tusu City, Zhao Qi didn't believe it at all.Although I don't know where this woman came from, there must be something strange about this person.

At this time, seeing the woman trembling, she raised her head to look at the soldiers as if she had been frightened, and immediately lowered her head in panic and begged for mercy, "Please let the woman go, my lord!"

Looking at her face, Zhao Qi seemed to be thinking of something, but couldn't remember clearly, so he said, "Just raise your head."

When the woman heard this, she lowered her head even more, trembling all over, crying loudly in fright.

But seeing Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, he suddenly asked, "Zheng?"

The woman was startled, raised her head and glanced at Zhao Qi, shrank back again and again, and said, "No, it's not...the woman's surname is Li."

Is this refusing to admit it?Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes and asked again, "Where's your child?"

Poor parents all over the world, the woman who refused to admit it just now changed her appearance when she heard about her child, and threw herself directly under Zhao Qi's horse, crying, "My lord! My lord, please help me!" My child! The women of the people are willing to be cows and horses!"

It should be said that this Zheng family is the wife of Zheng Gang, the magistrate of Quanzhou County, who was executed when Zhao Qi and Liu Changqing went to Quanzhou to control the water.

During the flood in Quanzhou in the second year of Mingde, Zheng Gang, the county magistrate of Quanzhou, took away the money from the yamen with his wife and belt, and fled overnight. Later, he was trapped in the mountains due to mudslides, and was finally captured by Liu Changqing.The next day, Zheng Gang was beheaded, his family ransacked all his homes, and all adult men and women were demoted to slavery and sent to Xijiang.

In this way, it is not surprising to see this Zheng family in Xijiang.

Zhao Qi frowned when she heard about the child, and asked, "What's wrong with your child?"

Mrs. Zheng cried, "My lord! You have to decide for the women!" As Mrs. Zheng said, for some reason, the horse under Zhao Qi was suddenly frightened, and immediately screamed and jumped up!The two front legs were raised high and jumped for a while.

The soldiers behind were terrified, and after a while of panic, they shouted, "Protect the Marshal!"

Fortunately, Zhao Qi was quite skilled in horsemanship, so he was startled first, then tightened the rein, and took a while to calm the horse.When the matter settled down, he saw that Mrs. Zhao had lost her breath and collapsed on the grass, with a shining long knife stuck across his back, which was exactly the long knife carried by the soldiers!

Zhao Qi was taken aback, then frowned, and said coldly, "Who is it?"

Zheng Ze quickly rolled off his horse and said, "Marshal, calm down! That crazy woman just now was clearly trying to harm the Marshal, and the subordinates also lost their sense of proportion..."

Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes and said after a while, "You take the woman's body back first, and the rest of the people continue to search in this area."

"Yes."
