In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the dinner party.As mentioned earlier, Li Mingyue really did the cooking herself and cooked a dish for everyone.

Meanwhile, Qin Rong helped her, from cutting vegetables to lighting the fire.If it is in the capital, such behavior will not be laughed at.But at the border, other people just said it was normal.

Everyone has to fight the enemy.When encountering foreign rangers, not to mention men and women, even the boundaries between old and young are not very clear.People can say at most two sentences, "The general has been in the capital for several years, and he is no stranger to doing work", and nothing else is mentioned.

All the way to the opening of the banquet, Qin Rong first raised the cup and proposed to drink.Everyone responded, unexpectedly, after taking a sip, the cup turned out to be tea, not wine.

Amidst the astonishment, Li Mingyue smiled and said: "The wine is not hot yet, but the tea is pretty good. Let's drink it first."

Madam sister-in-law said so, and everyone naturally obeyed.During this period, Li Zhuo stood up and said "I'll go to the kitchen to see", but no one else noticed.

Only Qin Zong looked at him.It's just that Li Zhuo was in a hurry and didn't notice the young man's gaze.

Soon, Li Mingyue called "A Zong".Qin Zong heard it, turned his eyes away, and faced the uncles in front of him again.

Not long after, Li Zhuo came over with a drink.

He first personally poured a glass for Qin Rong and Li Mingyue, then smiled and handed the jug to the soldiers present, and they poured it to everyone.

"The general hasn't arrived in Ye City for many years," Li Zhuo said, "Looking at it now, how is the city?"

When he was speaking, intentionally or not, he stared at Qin Rong's hand holding the wine glass.

Qin Rong smiled and replied: "Everything is fine." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it all in one gulp.

But at this time, Qin Zong called out: "Father."

Qin Rong stopped his movements and looked sideways.

Seeing this, Li Zhuo felt tense.

If he wasn't worried about being seen by others, he would probably be gnashing his teeth at this moment.

It's just that close!Qin Rong was about to drink it down, why did Qin Rong speak at this moment?

He felt "sudden" in his heart, and suddenly began to worry, if Qin Zong had already discovered his abnormality, what would happen to him?

However, Qin Zong didn't want to stop his father, but said: "I told Aunt earlier that Yecheng is obviously different after this trip."

Qin Rong smiled and said, "Oh?"

Qin Zong counted them one by one: "The city wall seems to be higher, and there are many objects on it that I have never seen before. Uncle Zhao, why don't you come and tell us?"

Zhao Yong responded with a smile, and began to introduce the magical functions of various devices on the city wall to the Qin family.

Li Zhuo wanted to interrupt the topic several times, but he always seemed to speak bluntly, so he had to sit back in his seat depressed.

No problem.

His eyes swept over Qin Rong, Li Mingyue, and everyone's wine glasses.

At that moment, he said he was checking to see if the wine was hot, but in fact, he poured sweat medicine into it.

After a few sips, they should be down.When the time comes, the officials from the capital who have already told him about their achievements in the future will enter the banquet hall, take away the three members of the Qin family, and then detain all those present who did not report the matter.

Thinking of this, Li Zhuo felt a little hot.There was a secret smile on the corner of his lips, and he suppressed it by eating.

He waited and waited.

Finally waited until everyone started drinking.

Li Zhuo excused himself to go to the backyard to change, and left again.This time, it is to bring in the Beijing officials.

In the border town for many years, I saw Zhao Yong and others every day.They would find it troublesome to play around and talk.The only way to get along is to go straight.

In this environment, in Li Zhuo's view, he was flattering enough to the Beijing officials.But in the eyes of Beijing officials, his flattery still seems low-level, which makes people get goosebumps.

If this person hadn't said that he could capture the little general of the Qin family, the Beijing officials would have ignored him at all.Now following Li Zhuo's footsteps into the room, they still had a subtle dislike on their faces, trying to stay away from this person as much as possible.

Li Zhuo saw it, but he only thought that the people from the capital were arrogant, but he became more cautious and respectful.

He walked ahead, and soon reached the door.Before pushing the door open, Li Zhuo lay on the door and listened quietly for a while.Make sure that there is no more sound in it, most of the people have already collapsed, so I feel relieved and push the door open.

He heard a long, trembling sound: "Squeak——"

Then he saw the banquet hall that he had just left and was still very familiar with.

There were also colleagues who looked at him in unison, with expressions ranging from surprise to coldness.

Li Zhuo was stunned.

The blood all over his body was cold at this moment, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he instinctively said: "No, it's not!"

Behind him, there were still officials in the capital who were eager to catch Qin Zong, and returned to the capital to receive the reward, and couldn't wait to take a step forward.

This person was also shocked, stumbled and said, "Run, run—!"

He staggered to leave, but unexpectedly, before he could take any steps, he was grabbed by a general sitting by the door and pressed to the ground.

Li Zhuo still wanted to defend himself, saying, "I don't know. They forced me, yes, they came here suddenly, and I must bring them in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "spit" from the person beside him, and then something wet fell on his face.

If it was normal, Li Zhuo would be furious.But at the moment he has a guilty conscience, how dare he shout out to others.

He was still struggling, and said, "What I said is true! You don't save me, but you want to doubt me?"

Hearing this, those Beijing officials who failed to arrest people but were detained instead were not happy, and immediately exposed his lies, saying: "General Li is really a noble man who forgets things! It is clear that you came to my house and told me The Qin family appeared. You also intend to propose that you can gather them together and wipe them all out!"

Li Zhuo glared at them, at this moment, he heard the other people beside him sneer.

The former colleagues looked at him as if looking at another stranger.

Li Zhuo was full of fear, no matter what he couldn't understand why the situation was completely different from what he thought before in such a short period of time.

At this time, Qin Rong finally spoke.

He said, "Take people down."

Li Zhuo was uneasy, thinking: take it down?Where to take it?

Qin Rong also said: "In just a few years, it is not easy to build Yecheng to the solid state."

Zhao Yong sighed: "Among them, many people died of exhaustion."

Naturally, even if the people in the city do work, they still work for one day and receive one day's food.The "tired to death" he said at this moment refers to the death row prisoners sent from various places, the criminals in the city, and sporadic captured foreign rangers.

The words were neither light nor heavy, Li Zhuo almost trembled when he heard it.

This is asking him to do hard labor!Several Beijing officials still have no idea, but Li Zhuo knows that once they end up in such a situation, it is really impossible to survive or die.

He looked at Qin Rong, Zhao Yong and others with hatred in his eyes.Seeing that they couldn't believe him, and there were several Beijing officials interrupting him, Li Zhuo simply broke his can and cursed: "The emperor personally ordered these three people to be taken back! If you hang out with them now, you won't be afraid of consequences." Are you going to be held accountable by the emperor?! Hurry up and join me, ah——!!!"

There was a pain in his face, and he tilted his head to the side, and it was Zhao Yong who was so angry that he hit him directly on the face in a circle.

Tasting the smell of blood in his mouth, Li Zhuo was even hoarse, and mocked: "Why, am I wrong?! To tell you the truth, Mr. Liu sent the report of Qin Zong's appearance to Beijing a long time ago—uh! "

His pupils narrowed suddenly, and he lowered his head slowly, seeing the dagger pierced into his chest.

Holding the knife was a slender and straight hand with well-defined knuckles.

Looking up again, it wasn't Qin Zong who appeared in front of him, but who was it?

Li Zhuo looked at him, the hatred in his eyes became more distinct, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

He scolded Qin Zong: "What are you talking about 'little general'? You are just a rabbit! You can't serve the emperor well, but..."

He was stabbed at the vital point, and after just a few words, his face was ashen and defeated, and he couldn't stand steadily.

At this time, only a slight "pop" sound was heard.

Qin Zong pulled out the dagger and wiped off the blood on it.

The indifferent and chilling action made several Beijing officials feel chills in their hearts.

One of them still wanted to scold, saying: "Okay, what a guts!" At the first sip, he revealed his timidity, "How, how dare you treat the court officials like this?!"

Qin Zong ignored him.

His eyes flicked across the uncles beside him, and he said in a heavy tone, "He brought those Beijing officials here because he wanted to put us to death. I killed him this time—"

Zhao Yong slapped Qin Zong's shoulder and said, "Good job!"

Following his words, the others also opened their mouths one by one, saying: "Li Zhuo is really hateful! We never feel sorry for him, but he wants to treat you and me like this!"

"When I saw him in the past, I always felt that he was not of one mind with us. But at that time, it was really difficult to say that."

After scolding like this a few times, someone remembered Li Zhuo's words before he died.

With heavy eyes, they turned to the Beijing officials next to them and asked, "Didn't they say that they passed the news of the little general back to Beijing? Hey, what should I do?"

"Someone to stop?"

"I just don't know how long the letter has been gone."

"If it is urgent at eight hundred miles, I'm afraid it has already been sent to the capital."

The last sentence was said by Li Mingyue.

Her voice was deep.The meaning in the words made everyone feel heavy.

Zhao Yong couldn't hold back, he immediately went to pull the collar of a Beijing official, and asked, "Is Madam Sister-in-law right?"

The Beijing official didn't answer at first, whether he was shocked or didn't know how to explain.It wasn't until another Beijing official coughed violently that the former said, "No, no! It's just a trivial matter, how can it be expedited at eight hundred miles?"

It was originally used to deny, but because the tone of the speech was too weak, it made people feel depressed.

Everyone knows that most of Li Mingyue's guesses are true.

The situation changed so quickly that many generals did not know how to react.

They kicked Li Zhuo resentfully, and then scolded: "You've been killed by this disaster, it's all over! So what if we stay?"

When the Beijing officials heard this, their complexions became more and more gray.

One of them's eyes lit up, and he suggested: "It's not as good as this! I'm going to write a note, and I'm going to expose it to His Majesty, saying that Liu Heng is so eager to make meritorious service that he wants to pretend to be a little general—" Halfway through the speech, he was called "Liu Heng" Jingguan struggled to put his foot on his stomach.This person let out an "ouch", even though the atmosphere was serious, the scene at this moment still seemed a bit funny.

In such a situation, Qin Zong took a deep breath.

he asked himself.If he hadn't met Guanlan back then, and hadn't heard his words that he could save the world, what would he have done in the current situation?

——All the uncles present, except for one Li Zhuo, are relatives second only to his parents to him.

The parents were detained by Yin Xuan, and he would send them to the door to exchange for the safety of the parents.The lives of Uncle Zhao and the others were threatened, Qin Zong thought, it was actually the same.

He closed his eyes and said firmly, "The emperor just wants me to..."

"No!" Zhao Yong said faster than him, "How can a man of eight feet be so humiliated!"

In border towns with open folk customs, although it is rare for two men to live together, it is not uncommon.

In the eyes of Zhao Yong and other former members of the Qin family, the humiliation lies in the fact that "Qin Zong was clearly unwilling, but Yin Xuan forced him into the palace", and this was enough to make them furious.

"Big deal," another person beside Zhao Yong said bluntly, "We're going the other way!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The Beijing officials looked at them in horror, seeing that this voice that sounded too impulsive gradually became the words of all the guards in the border town.

Inverted!

It's for Qin Zong, but it's not just for Qin Zong!

Merchants from the east and south mentioned the new monarch. Apart from the words of the empress dowager, there was another thing that was repeatedly mentioned.

After the remonstrance, the courtier was beaten to pieces and thrown into prison!

However, if there was any discussion, they were captured by the Jinlin Guards, people who didn't know if they were alive or dead!

There is also a sentence of corpses carried out from the palace when the emperor was still Prince Rui.

Such a tyrant, do you still want their allegiance?

"opposite!"

Zhao Yong said firmly.

"Reverse!" "Reverse!" "Reverse!"

The echoing voice was louder and louder, echoing in the room like a wave.

Qin Zong was in the center of the wave, and let out a long and slow breath.

With unprecedented clarity in his eyes, he also said: "Reverse."
