Innocent cast of white iron

Marshal's camp.

"The last general, Mu Jiancheng, has a meeting with the marshal!"

"The last general Xu Shan sees the marshal!"

Zhao Qi glanced at the two of them and said, "The one-day deadline has come, is there any news from the supervising army?"

Mu Jiancheng took a deep breath and replied, "Report to the marshal, the last general and General Xu checked all the bushes and grass within three miles of the barracks yesterday, but found no clues."

"A bunch of trash!" Zhao Qi waved the inkstone on the table to the ground, stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and said with a sneer, "There are tens of thousands of people in such a large military camp, but let that thief come and go freely, three times." We have taken people from our army four times, and now we have even set fire to the camp. Could it be that you have to wait until the head of my commander falls, so that you can grow some brains!"

Mu Jiancheng and Xu Shan hurriedly said, "Marshal, calm down! Marshal, calm down!"

Zhao Qi squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on Xu Shan. He picked up the black box from the table, threw it at the foot of Xu Shan, and said, "Calm your anger? General Xu, take a good look at what this is?"

Xu Shan raised his head and was startled when he saw the black box, but then his face was pale, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, "Yuan, marshal..."

Zhao Qi said, "What? General Xu's explanation?"

Knowing that the evidence had exposed his identity, Xu Shan stopped talking, and his simple and honest face disappeared, replaced by a cunning and sinister look. Xu Shan snorted coldly and said, "Since the Marshal has evidence, I am naturally speechless." Can say."

It can be said that Mu Jiancheng and Xu Shan have known each other for many years, and he never thought that he was a spy of Guangluo. Apart from the shock on his face, he couldn't believe it, and said in a trembling voice, "Xu, General Xu... you, you... "

But Xu Shan said, "Zhao Qi, since you already have my identity, I will do whatever you want to kill or cut. Anyway, my business has been done. As for Liu Changqing, you will not find out his whereabouts!"

Upon hearing Liu Changqing, Zhao Qi frowned, looked at him dangerously, and said coldly, "Do you know where Liu Changqing is?"

Xu Shan smiled lowly, and said, "Zhao Qi, all of this is your own cocoon. As for who the murderer is, you can guess for yourself! I will never tell you Liu Changqing's whereabouts."

"Really," Zhao Qi said with a smile, "Since that's the case, it's useless for you to keep it." As he spoke, he pulled out the saber beside him and stabbed it into his chest.

Xu Shan was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized that his chest was already cold, warm blood spurted out, and the blood splashed on the man's cold face, which looked horrifying.

"Zhao Qi...you..." Xu Shan's eyes widened, and he died before he finished speaking.

Mu Jiancheng was also taken aback. He thought that Zhao Qi was just a scholar. Let alone killing people, he couldn't even imagine using a knife or a gun. Who knows that he stabbed someone to death with a single sword? hesitantly.

Mu Jiancheng was shocked, and went to see Zhao Qi again. At this time, Zhao Qi had drawn out the sword as if nothing happened, shook the blood on the sword casually, and put it on the desk again.Those cold and dark eyes looked directly into Mu Jiancheng's eyes. The terrifying eyes and the blood stains on his face really looked like a devil crawling out of hell. Mu Jiancheng had no doubt that if he said a word No, the next thing the sword was going to pierce was his heart.

"Yuan, Marshal!" Even Mu Jiancheng, who was used to fighting and killing on the battlefield, couldn't help shivering, and said, "The last general, the last general has nothing to do with Guang Luo, please check it out!"

Zhao Qi turned his head and didn't look at him again. He wiped off the blood stains on his face with his fingers, and after a while he said calmly, "Immediately send troops to Rongcheng to arrest Song Shide."

Mu Jiancheng was taken aback, and was about to ask why, but was blinded by the cold light of the long sword on the table, and hurriedly said, "The last general will go here!"

Zhao Qi glanced at the corpse on the ground again, frowned, and called someone into the house, saying, "Come here, clean up here."

The attendant was startled when he saw the dead man, and hurried forward to drag the corpse away, only to find that the man was none other than General Xu!Immediately, he was scared out of his wits again, he hurriedly picked up the corpse and retreated, not daring to say anything.

The grassland has a wide view, and it has never been a hiding place. Since the thief kidnapped Liu Changqing, the place he is going to is either Tusu or Rongcheng. Now there is no one in Tusu city except soldiers. What Zheng said before was also ignored by Zhao Qi. That Zheng's intentional nonsense was leaking the news, saying that he was going to Rongcheng, and he emphasized it several times. Doesn't this mean that he is in Rongcheng?

The fact that no one notices that people have been in Rongcheng for so long can only show that the city lord Song Shide must have been bought by thieves.But this is really strange, what kind of person with such a great status can buy so many people to work for him, and what kind of hatred can there be between that person and Zhao Qi?

If you want to talk about deep hatred, I'm afraid there is no one else except the little emperor.He, Zhao Qi, killed his elder brother and father, could it be Han Zhen?But Han Zhen's character is weak, and he doesn't have such a brain, how could he use a series of tricks so cleverly?

Li Shouyi?But it wasn't true. Li Shouyi ransacked his family's family. Although he had a deep hatred, even if he had a living, the lord of Rongcheng, Song Shide, couldn't afford to risk his life for a lost dog.

Who else...

There must be some clues that I have overlooked.Zhao Qi sat back on the chair, tapped the table with his index finger, and suddenly asked Lu Ziyao beside him, "Ziyao, have you been with me for eight years?"

"Yes."

"I have many enemies?"

Lu Ziyao hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes."

"Who do you think has the ability to do this?" Zhao Qi asked.

Lu Ziyao thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, but then said for a long time, "Then Song Shide is the lord of Rongcheng, so there is no need to make trouble with your lord. It can be seen that there must be someone behind him. If you can talk about Song Shide, it must be an ordinary person who set up such a trap. There is someone to choose as a subordinate... However, it stands to reason that he should be dead, let alone appear in Xijiang."

Zhao Qi frowned, and asked again, "You mean?"

Lu Ziyao looked around and was sure that there was no one else, so he lowered his voice and whispered in Zhao Qi's ear, "The First Emperor."

Zhao Qi was stunned for a while, then murmured in disbelief, "Impossible...he's already dead!" Han Liang is definitely dead!He watched with his own eyes that Han Liang drank the poison and died, and his body was buried in the imperial tomb. How could it be!

Lu Ziyao said again, "My lord, this subordinate is just guessing. The late emperor has been dead for several years. Even if he is still alive, he will not come to the western border, let alone kidnap Lord Liu."

However, if Han Liang is still alive... what does he imply by kidnapping Liu Changqing and Zhao Lu?

One thing is certain, he, Zhao Qi, will be ruined for murdering the former emperor and attempting to rebel, which will be several times more miserable than his fate in the previous life.

Han Liang, must not live!

Zhao Qi never thought that a person who had been dead for so many years would come back to life again.He clearly watched him die that day, how could he appear in Xijiang!I must have been suspicious.However, Han Liang is very cunning, and it is not ruled out that he foresaw that he poisoned him to steal the throne that day.

The more Zhao Qi thought about it, the more terrified he became. If Han Liang hadn't died, then Song Shide must have known everything this time. Maybe Rongcheng was already ready to catch him as a traitor.Just now Mu Jiancheng was asked to go to Rongcheng to bring Song Shide here, mainly to make sure that Song Shide was really on the enemy side. Now it seems that Han Liang is also in Rongcheng.

This time there was more than a little trouble, not to mention that Mu Jiancheng himself was a soldier of the Great Korea, if he saw Han Liang at this time, it would be normal for him to defect.Zhang Xiang and Zhuge Ming are now in Rongcheng, I am afraid they have heard the news, and they may have already taken refuge in Han Liang...

Zhao Qi took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled and said, "Everything in the past will eventually be returned, which shows karma."

Lu Ziyao waited at the side, heard what Zhao Qi said and said, "Don't think too much, my lord, there is still a turning point in this matter, and we are not sure that that person is the former emperor." He said again, "My lord has not rested for a long time, or Take a nap."

Zhao Qi waved his hand and sighed in a low voice, "I can't sleep without any news."

Lu Ziyao didn't reply, and after a while he smiled lightly, "Chang Qing doesn't talk much since childhood, and he's easily shy. He doesn't have much contact with me on weekdays. I didn't expect to be favored by adults."

Zhao Qi didn't speak, rested with one hand on his forehead, closed his eyes.It's just one thing after another in my mind that still can't go away.

Around early in the morning, Mu Jiancheng hurried back. As soon as he got back to the barracks, he rushed to the marshal's tent, begging to see Zhao Qi.When Zhao Qi saw that he hadn't brought Song Shide back, naturally everything became clear.

"Report to Marshal! Song Shide is unwilling to open the city gate, so he will not be able to enter!" Mu Jiancheng said, "However, Song Shide asked the general to give the Marshal a secret letter, saying that the Marshal will know the ins and outs of the matter just by looking at it."

Then he presented a secret letter.

Zhao Qi received it in his hand, but opened it in no hurry, and said, "This commander knows, you go down first."

"Yes! I will retire at the end!"

As soon as Mu Jiancheng left, Zhao Qi sat back on his chair and opened the secret letter, which only wrote a few words.

[If you want Liu Changqing and Zhao Lin to survive, rush to Rongcheng immediately. 】

There was no signature on the letter, but Zhao Qi only needed to glance at it to see clearly that the handwriting was not Han Liang, who else would it be! ?Since Han Liang kidnapped Liu Changqing and Zhao Lin, and clearly understood where his weakness lies, he might have been lurking in the dark and observing for a long time.

But what has to be faced is always to be faced. He, Zhao Qi, has planted evil fruits in the past, and today he must end it.After seeing this letter and knowing Han Liang's intentions, Zhao Qi became more at ease. The most Han Liang wanted was his life, so what else?

"Zi Yao, lead a hundred elite soldiers, and head to Rongcheng immediately with this commander!" Zhao Qi stood up, pinching the letter paper in his palm, his dark eyes were full of cold determination.

As soon as Lu Ziyao heard his order, he quickly said yes, and went out of the house to gather soldiers and horses.

After integrating the soldiers and horses, the team rushed to Rongcheng non-stop.The distance between Rongcheng and the military camp is less than a hundred miles, and it will take three hours to rush there quickly, and they can arrive immediately in the evening.

"My lord, just go to Rongcheng like this, what if Han Liang sets up an ambush? Why don't you wait here first, and your subordinates take some soldiers and horses to find out the truth first, in case there is any fraud." Lu Ziyao suggested.

"No need, if he just wanted to kill me, he might have already killed me, why bother." Zhao Qi said calmly, pulled the rein abruptly, stopped the horse, but said to Lu Ziyao, "If I If anything happens, please keep Liu Changqing safe."

Lu Ziyao was taken aback, and took a while to reply, "I understand." He said he understood, but he was thinking in his heart, how could something unexpected happen to you?At that time, I'm afraid I'm dead, so how can I keep Liu Changqing safe?

"lets go."

"Yes."

The group of people raised their whips again, and saw hundreds of fine horses galloping across the grassland, their strength was deafening.It was autumn, and the withered and yellow grass blades were trampled by horses, drooping and half-buried in the soil, but returned to their original state after a while, as if no horse had ever appeared.

At about three o'clock, they finally arrived at Rongcheng. At this time, Song Shide, the lord of Rongcheng, was already standing on the city wall, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

When Song Shide saw Zhao Qi, he smiled and said, "Zhao Qi, you are finally here!"
