477. Chapter 477 Approaching the truth
Ning Jun still did not recover at this time, and looked at Zhou Shao in disappointment, feeling angry. He said to himself: "I didn't mess with you, why did you Zhou Shao get angry at me today? It's really unreasonable!"
Su Qin knew why Zhou Shao was angry, so he quickly waved his hand to the guards and asked them to avoid the tent for the time being. Then he said to Zhou Shao: "General Zhou worked hard and was seriously injured. He came to the Central Army tent in the middle of the night. There must be something important to report. However, if it is about the leaks inside the Hezong Army, please tell me later. The matter is not what you think."
Because Ning Jun is by his side, Su Qin was inconvenient to tell Zhou Shao not to doubt Ning Jun anymore, so he indirectly told Zhou Shao not to mention this matter and would like to explain it in detail in the future.
People who are average in Su Qin's words have long understood it, but Zhou Shao was angry. Moreover, since he was injured, he has been thinking about resolving the score with Ning Jun. He has planted the idea that Ning Jun is a spy in his heart. How can he change his course easily?
In fact, Zhou Shaoben had thought he would die on the Qin army's crossbow arrow position before, but at that time he had made up his mind to settle the score with Ning Jun when he arrived at the underworld.
Even if a smart person is convinced for a long time that a bad thing is someone doing, he may not be able to make the turn in a while.
Su Qin advised Zhou Shao with kind words, but Zhou Shao seemed to have not heard a word at all. He glared at Ning Jun angrily, making Ning Jun feel so shivered.
Ning Jun hadn't seen Zhou Shao for a while and felt that old acquaintances should say hello, so he exchanged greetings: "General Zhou has always been good?"
Zhou Shao replied coldly with a blue face: "It's not good at all. I've been hurt like this hedgehog. What's more, let's talk about? Besides, whether I'm good or not, what's the point of doing with you? You're good at everything and you're proud of yourself, why bother with us?"
When Ning Jun heard this, he was so angry that he thought to himself: "I kindly helped you just now, and you opened my arm without hesitation. I haven't bothered you yet. I asked you kindly, but you spoke ill of you. What are you doing?"
Ning Jun is an extremely self-respecting person with a thin skin. He blushed suddenly. He pointed at Zhou Shao, his arms were so angry that he shivered, and he stuttered: "You, why are you?..."
Su Qin was worried about an quarrel between the two, so he quickly advised Zhou Shao again: "General Zhou, please restrain your temper and not act rashly. General Ning Jun did not offend you, why should you smear his kindness?"
As Su Qin said, his face also became a little gloomy. Zhou Shao glanced at Su Qin and found that the Prime Minister was not very happy. He had to restrain himself, because Su Qin was the Prime Minister in the State of Zhao, and he himself was the chief lieutenant of the Prime Minister's Office. He still had to care about the Prime Minister's intention.
Zhou Shao snorted at Ning Jun and turned his face to the side. The meaning was clearly that he still couldn't stand what Ning Jun did and disdained to be with him.
Ning Jun was embarrassed, but he was also a smart person. He knew that Zhou Shao would be angry and would have misunderstood. But at what stage did he misunderstand himself?
Although Ning Jun was not clear about it, he felt that he was a real man who could take it and let it go. He believed that he had a clear conscience and asked Zhou Shao straight: "General Zhou Shao seems to have a view of me, Ning Jun. I don't know where I offended you. Please make it clear to me. It will also make my heart light up so that I can be so arrogant to avoid being so arrogant with you."
Zhou Shao turned his face, stared at Ning Jun, and said to himself: "The Prime Minister didn't let me continue, but you asked me to make it clear. This is what you asked. You can't blame me for not giving the Prime Minister face."
Zhou Shao then said, "We are wise people, don't do secret things. Let me ask you, that day, the envoy of Qin State, Pang Ci, came to Chongguang City. Did you take him to the city to inquire about it? When I left, I clearly passed on the Prime Minister's order to tell you that after you reminisce about the past with Pang Ci, you will immediately send him out of the West Gate."
Ning Jun rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know the Prime Minister's order, but I just took Pang Ci to meet an old friend. Have you ever inquired about it in Chongguang City? Why should I let him spy on the military information of our army at will?"
When Su Qin heard this, he suddenly realized the crux of the problem. He frowned and suddenly interrupted and asked Ning Jun: "I wonder who General Ning took Pang Ci to meet? Can you tell us? It's not that I'm asking about your private affairs, but that this matter is of great importance, so we have to learn more details."
Ning Jun looked hesitant, and he stuttered again, "This, I promised Pang Ci not to tell me about this situation."
Seeing that Ning Jun was still hesitating and covering up, Zhou Shao felt annoyed in his heart and said bluntly: "I, Zhou Shao, are almost dead here. Thousands of soldiers were buried in the ambush formation of the Qin army, just because someone in our army defected to Qin and revealed his combat plan to Sima Cuo. What else can you cover up with Ning Jun?"
Zhou Shao gritted his teeth in hatred, making a sound, and said in anger: "It's a pity that I'm injured now. Otherwise, I must fight you for a fight and beat you up with the pain."
Su Qin knew that Ning Jun was suffering, so he must have agreed to Pang Ci's conditions, otherwise how could he be so tight-lipped and unwilling to reveal the inside story. Su Qin remembered the conversation with Ning Jun before the war, and then realized why he was hesitant and deliberately hid the inside story.
Seeing that Zhou Shao’s words were too stiff, Su Qin was afraid that Ning Jun would not come to Taiwan, so he winked at Zhou Shao and criticized Zhou Shao: "General Zhou, don’t be anxious. General Ning must have a hidden secret. We must respect his own wishes."
When Zhou Shao saw Su Qin's eyes, he turned his head and ignored anyone again, feeling sulky. It seemed that he was indeed subject to serious injuries on his body, otherwise he would have really gotten up and fought with Ning Jun.
Zhou Shao's words were a stimulation to Ning Jun, especially accusing him of deliberately concealing the truth despite the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, which made him particularly sad. He was also a soldier who loved soldiers as much as his son. Now, so many soldiers were sprinkled in the Qin army's ambush formation, which made Ning Jun feel so happy?
Ning Jun lowered his head and thought for a while. When he raised his head again, his lips tightly pursed, and his expression was sad. Ning Jun said, "I am not a person who breaks my promise. If I promise others, it will not count. But this time, facing so many fallen soldiers, it seems that I cannot help but adjust my principles."
Ning Jun paused and said, "Pang Ci asked me to take him to meet a general of Wei that day. He promised to persuade Sima Cuo to let Wen Qi and Ning Chao in Xianyang City go. Pang Ci said that he was just sending a message to the generals of Wei, not intending to observe the military situation of the Hezong Army. He patted his chest and promised that I agreed to him. I can only say so much, and I don't know anything else."
When Zhou Shao heard what Ning Jun said, "Wen Qi" and "Ning Chao" he didn't know which immortal he was. He thought to himself: "You said you should adjust the principles. Isn't this the same as saying it? Even if you don't say the name of General Wei, you are clearly fooling us."
Zhou Shao then pointed at Ning Jun again and said dissatisfiedly: "I thought you would be more happy, but I still thought it was a bit mysterious. This is really angering me!" Zhou Shao was anxious and even stuttered.
Su Qin knew the whole story like a mirror in his heart. He knew that Ning Jun's personality was like this. He would not change his principles of being a human being because of heavy pressure. If that were true, Pang Ci would not have agreed on that condition with him. It was because Pang Ci took a fancy to Ning Jun's principle of never changing his life that he was relieved and boldly reached a deal with him.
As for Ning Jun himself, if he loses this principle and bottom line, he will always feel upset in the future, and may even be depressed for half a lifetime. Su Qin knows this well, and he really doesn't want Ning Jun to break through the psychological bottom line.
Since Su Qin had understood the whole story, he didn't have to ask Ning Jun to say the name of Wei General himself, so that Ning Jun would feel better. Su Qin decided to take this matter completely and come up with a complete solution, turning passive into initiative.
Although Ning Jun was unwilling to say the name of the Wei general in the end, Su Qin also guessed that this person was Lu Ji, because he was originally a surrendered general of Qin. Pang Ci talked about Lu Ji's past to Ning Jun, and naturally asked Ning Jun to take him to see this person.
However, Lu Ji himself may have regretted his resignation because he saw Qin as the dominant and dominating the world. He regretted his resignation on the day when he defected to Wei. This was a common thing to rebel in the frequent wars between the seven heroes. However, if Lu Ji wanted to return to the Qin army, he flattered the Qin army and revealed the battle plan of the Joint Army and took the lives of so many soldiers of the Joint Army, it would be unforgivable.
If this matter is true, how could Su Qin spare this person easily? If this beast is not eliminated, how could he be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Hezong Army who died!
Seeing that Zhou Shao was still angry, Su Qin widened his eyes and wanted to force Ning Jun again. He quickly sank his face and said to Zhou Shao: "General Zhou, I have already told you that the leak of military information has nothing to do with General Ning, why are you still not willing to forgive me? Do you even have to listen to my command and insist on giving me the position of the head coach to you?"
When Zhou Shao heard Su Qin's harsh words, he looked at his face gloomy and terrible. He felt a little nervous and could only put away the harsh words he was about to say. He was anxious and angry for a moment, so he lowered his head hard and stopped talking. In fact, there were tears in Zhou Shao's eyes. He was dissatisfied and sad for the death of his eyes and the soldiers joining the army.
