Ahem, Qinglong's legs weakened and he fell hard from the horse. Shangguan Haitang immediately helped him up when he saw this.
"If you bear with it a little longer, there will be no more pursuers. We will reach the safe house soon."
Cheng Shifei used Qinggong to climb to the top of a tree and looked at the Qing army's camp from a distance. The opponent obviously didn't pursue him for too long, but the whole thing was a bit bizarre and he couldn't really be sure of anything.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you coming back?"
Qinglong took a long breath, and the pain on his body improved slightly. He needed to rest now.
"Compared with our safety, uncovering the spies is more important." Shangguan Haitang said so decisively, but Qinglong felt a little funny.
"This sentence is very funny coming from your mouth."
Cheng Shifei frowned, "Why do you say that?'
"We are all just outcasts, and now you are telling me that you want to investigate spies? Don't you think it's ridiculous?
"What abandoned son? What do you know?" Shangguan Haitang grabbed Qinglong's shoulders, his whole face distorted.
This frightened Cheng Shifei. He never thought that one day he would see such an expression on this beautiful face. But... he could vaguely understand that when they were sent to rescue Zhu Qizhen,
You can roughly understand it.
"I don't know anything, and I don't want to know." Qinglong pushed Shangguan Haitang's hand away and sat slumped under a tree, his face full of fatigue. "If you want to go back, remember to say that I have been seriously injured and will not die."
Dropped it. This will save the brave Lord from having to kill me again.
"What do you mean? Do you want to say...that your adoptive father sent you to die? What do you know, and why would your adoptive father target you?"
"Haha, how could a little person like me be remembered by the Lord God!"
Qinglong's inconsistent words were intended to drive Shangguan Haitang crazy. Cheng Shifei patted Shangguan Haitang on the shoulder, "Because he is a royalist!"
Shangguan Haitang turned around blankly, Cheng Shifei had already given an answer.
However, before Shangguan Haitang asked carefully, Qinglong had already corrected him: "I am not only a royalist, but my boss is a staunch royalist, so I must die too!"
Shangguan Haitang looked at the two people who were silent one after another, and her eyes became grayer. How could she be so smart and not be able to figure it out? However, everything was a huge blow to her.
Although Zhu Wuwu did a lot of dirty work at Hulong Villa, those things were well-founded and could strengthen the Ming Dynasty, so her belief has never wavered.
But now, he found that his belief seemed to be about to collapse!
"So, the new emperor will soon ascend the throne!'
The sudden sound frightened Qinglong. He quickly sat up and showed his two swords. He saw a man standing on the treetops slowly rising and falling with the wind. He put his hands behind his back and squinted at 45 degrees. He was very pretentious!
'General Lee!'
Shangguan Haitang revealed Zuo Zhou's identity to remind Qinglong not to be impulsive, we can't do this.
Zuo Zhou looked down at the three people and suddenly sighed. Zhu Wuwu did a great job. He not only walked up to the front desk, but also followed him to do the cutting!
"What do you mean by what General Li just said?" Cheng Shifei smiled. He had met Zuo Zhou before when he came back from a mission. He knew this man's strength. If he had malicious intentions, they would have died countless times.
"Zhu Wuli is very loyal to the royal family, you should know this.'
"This is natural." Shangguan Haitang nodded.
"No, you don't know that he is loyal to the royal family, but not necessarily to Zhu Qizhen."
Zuo Zhou's words were too harsh. It was almost clear that Zhu Wuwang wanted to usurp the throne. Shangguan Haitang was shaken for a moment. The rebels turned into Shi Fei and Qing Long, both of whom were silent.
"People, regardless of their deeds or their intentions, who doesn't want to be the emperor? The question is whether you can do it and how to do it. If you follow the normal procedure, then after Zhu Qizhen is dead, or after a while, you will Many ministers re-elected a new emperor on the grounds that the country cannot live without a king. Unfortunately, the Qing army's attempt to absorb Zhu Qizhen's luck exposed them all, so Zhu Mingli had to implement the plan quickly. , ascended the throne immediately, in order to form a fate rivalry with Zhu Qizhen and limit the theft of those fortunes.'
Qinglong sat back under the tree again and smiled mockingly, "There are not many ministers in the whole dynasty who really want to save His Majesty, otherwise they wouldn't be arguing every day without coming up with a plan. And for him. What I am most concerned about is the Queen Mother and my boss Menda, who are all people with interests. If they cannot rescue Zhu Qizhen, then no matter who the new emperor is, these people will have no good fruits. "
"No, if that's the case, why did the adoptive father want us to come over?" Shangguan Haitang denied Zuo Zhou's guess.
"Then you have to ask yourself. In your mind, if Zhu Wuwu wants to be the emperor, is it considered usurping the throne?" Zuo Zhou shook his head in amusement.
Looking at Shangguan Haitang's silence, Zuo Zhou suddenly felt very ironic. In order to reflect his superior persona, Zhu Wuwu raised several adopted sons and daughters to be "upright and awe-inspiring". However, because of this, when he was about to leave... When you go from behind the scenes to the stage, you need to break away from the past. How can the emperor of a country do intelligence? How can he do dirty work? How can it be possible? In short, even if everyone knows, this is an open secret. Just keep it in mind, if anyone brings it up he won't admit it and will kill you behind your back.
"Huh? That's not right. I can understand Zhu Wuli sending Haitang to die, but my moral bottom line is so flexible, it makes no sense for him to trick me too!'
Cheng Shifei suddenly raised his hand and clarified his question very clearly.
Zuo Zhou was happy, "You are really self-aware, but... your situation is a bit complicated, but I don't want to talk about it, so I'll leave it to you to investigate on your own.
Cheng Shifei pursed his lips in displeasure, why did the general become the Riddler? He asked helplessly: "Then what does the general think we should do? Also, if you want to say that Zhu Wuwu sent us to die, I believe it." !However, the Qing army obviously made arrangements in advance. Zhu Mingwu should not cooperate with Dorgon, right?'
Shangguan Haitang raised his head and stared at Zuo Zhou. This was indeed unreasonable, "So your guesses just now are all wrong. The adoptive father is definitely not who you said!'
Zuo Zhou was too lazy to answer her and just looked at Cheng Shifei in a funny way, "Yes, I don't believe that Zhu Wuwu will cooperate with Dorgon. But my belief is of little value. After all, they were working with people from the Shishamen before. Let's ambush me together."
Cheng Shifei was a little embarrassed. He also knew about this. His expression suddenly turned bitter and he didn't know what to say.
"So what are your plans in the future? Do you want to follow me? I am very optimistic about you!" Zuo Zhou said, sitting cross-legged on the tree, looking quite approachable.
Qinglong waved his hand, "I plan to leave the Ming Dynasty and find a place to farm."
Zuo Zhou:
Cheng Shifei said with a smile: "If we don't agree, won't we be able to leave?"
"That's not the case, but if I'm unhappy, I'll probably give you a good slap, specifically in the face!"
Cheng Shifei's face changed drastically, he rubbed his face with his hands and said sternly, "It is the dream of a passionate man like me to be able to follow the general and create unparalleled achievements. I hope the general will take more care of you in the future."
Zuo Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Shangguan Haitang. Compared to Cheng Shifei, he actually valued Shangguan Haitang more. After all, Jiang Yuyan was a little too busy developing Qinglong Club by herself, and she didn't even have time to play cards with him. No, if there is no one at hand who can help with planning, details will inevitably be missed.
"I want to go back. Unless my adoptive father admits it, I won't believe it!"
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes, a little helpless, why is this girl so stubborn? If he goes back now, he might be killed by Zhu Wuli. Of course, even if he is not killed, he will be under house arrest for a lifetime. This has to be Zhu. Under the premise of ignoring the importance of emotions.
"Are you going to stop me? Although I am not your opponent, I still will not give in."
Zuo Zhou turned away in disgust, "Although I don't have any woman that I can't beat, I can't really beat your chest, right? You can leave if you want, but I have solicited a woman three times. In my opinion, you Although not as good as her, I am still willing to give you a second chance. If you don't die, you can come to me."
Shangguan Haitang was a little surprised. Both her knowledge and previous intelligence basically showed that this Li Yuanfang was actually very rude. But now it seems that sometimes, he is also an extraordinarily gentleman!
At the same time, the Qing army camp
Dorgon brought Zhu Qizhen back, and Zhu Qizhen's face was still glowing. Why was he so happy?
Because Dorgon took Zhu Qizhen away for hunting reasons, he had a great time accompanying Zhu Qizhen.
After letting his men send Zhu Qizhen back to the tent, Dorgon went to find Tang Ruowang. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw two people, one was Tang Ruowang, and the other was the eunuch next to Zhu Qizhen, Wang Zhen!
"Thank you for your hard work, General."
Dorgon nodded and smiled: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise Zhu Qizhen might have been rescued!"
Wang Zhen immediately replied respectfully: "What are you talking about, General? With the three or two kittens, it is impossible to get past Lord Tang and rescue the person."
Dorgon didn't care either. He had already instigated Wang Zhen's rebellion not long after he arrived. Speaking of Zhu Qizhen, it was ridiculous. There was no one who was loyal and not afraid of bribery. It could be said that he was rotten from the inside out.
Wang Zhen was sent by the Ming Dynasty court as an envoy. If the two countries were at war, they would not cut off the envoys. Dorgon still followed the rules. What's more, he also needed Wang Zhen to be more free. Otherwise, how could he deliver the message to him?
"How are the preparations going?'
"The materials are all here, we can start the formation again tonight!"
