Part Three, Chapter 12: Sea of ??Ice and Dragon's Rest 6
[69 Book Bar - www.] Entering the Muyu House, it was much darker inside. It was too late, the banquet had dispersed long ago, and the surroundings were quiet. I looked around and confirmed that there were no patrols nearby.
I was walking towards my residence when I suddenly heard Qian Wenyi whisper to the side: "General Chu."
I said, "It's me. Brother Qian, have you been waiting here for me?"
Qian Wenyi stepped out from the side, and I noticed that his face was a little stiff, which was very unusual. I thought for a moment and whispered, "What happened?" Looking at his look, it seemed like something was wrong.
An accident happened.
Qian Wenyi didn't say anything. Suddenly, someone walked out from behind him and said, "General Chu, why are you back so late?"
As soon as I heard this voice, I was scared out of my mind. It was Zheng Zhao's voice! I put my hand on the handle of the knife. At this time, Zheng Zhao walked out of the room. He reached out and patted Qian Wenyi on the shoulder.
He said: "General Qian, this is a nightmare. You can go back to sleep. When you wake up, you will forget everything."
Qian Wenyi nodded and staggered away, almost like a puppet. I knew in my heart that he must have fallen under Zheng Zhao's mind-telling spell, but I didn't know what Zheng Zhao was going to do. When Qian Wenyi left, I thought
"Why are you waiting for me here, Mr. Zheng?"
Zheng Zhao bit his lip, a trace of pain flashed across his face, and said: "General Chu, I wish I could kill you!"
I was shocked. Although I knew Zheng Zhao had no good intentions towards me, I didn't expect him to speak so directly. I tightened my grip on the knife and said, "Don't forget, I am the deputy envoy."
Zheng Zhaodao: "What about the deputy envoy? If I can kill you, I really want to cut you into pieces!" When he said these words, he was not as easy-going as usual, and his tone was very urgent. My heart moved, and I suddenly realized.
He knew about Bai Wei coming to see me! Bai Wei kissed me, so he must have known about it, but he kept the secret of his mind-reading ability from Bai Wei. It was really uncomfortable to hold such humiliation in his heart. Think about it
Knowing this, I felt relieved and sneered: "Mr. Zheng, I don't know how I can offend you."
Zheng Zhao looked at me and said: "General Chu, in today's world, you and I are probably the only two people who have the ability to control minds. Now that we have no six ears, we don't need to be secretive. Let's be honest. I am
I came alone. If General Chu wants to attack me, Zheng is certainly no match for you. It will be easy to kill me."
When he said this, I was surprised for a moment. I really couldn't figure out what Zheng Zhao was going to do. He came to see me alone, so he couldn't ask me to kill him, right? I let go of my hand from the handle of the knife and said, "Okay.
Well, I don’t tell lies in front of real people, and Mr. Zheng doesn’t treat me as a despicable person. If you have anything to say, just say it and I’ll just listen.”
Zheng Zhao looked at me, suddenly smiled and said: "I fell into your trap. I actually gave you a splitting headache when I used your mind-reading skills. This is really an 80-year-old woman who has lost her child and capsized in the gutter. But General Chu, you
But I should thank you for not destroying my mind-reading skills."
I secretly regretted that I should have hinted to him that using mind-reading and mind-telepathy techniques would give him a terrible headache, so that I could get rid of him once and for all. But it was too late to regret it now, and now it was too late to use mind-telepathy techniques on him again.
It was impossible. I just smiled lightly and said: "To give a prize is not something I don't do, it's something I can't do."
Zheng Zhao actually smiled and said: "As expected. Although I should hate you very much because of Xiaowei's incident, I really can't hate you because of your uprightness, General Chu."
When he mentioned Bai Wei, I felt a little sorry. I said sternly: "Mr. Zheng, don't make wild guesses. Miss Bai Wei has not done anything sorry for you."
Zheng Zhao snorted and said, "Sit down, that's not what I want to talk about today."
He pointed to a stone chair next to him and sat down first. I also sat in front of him and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zheng has any advice?"
Zheng Zhao took a long breath and said, "Since you have already gone to Ye Ming Tower, you must already know the cause and effect."
I sighed secretly. Although I thought I was more meticulous in my work, I still didn't think it through completely. I really shouldn't have told Bai Wei that I was going to kill those Japanese envoys. I said: "Of course."
Zheng Zhaodao: "I didn't expect the captain of Wufeng to be so courageous. It's really admirable. But now that they have been subdued, the discussion of joining forces with the Japanese islands has naturally come to an end. If we discuss some conditions tomorrow, you can return in triumph. General Chu,
You have made another great contribution this time."
I smiled and said, "It's God's will. It's hard to recover with manpower." Thinking that he actually subdued the Wufeng captain, I felt a little worried. These pirates are very powerful at sea, and the navy of Wuyang City was originally
Even if they are famous all over the world, if they reach a higher level like this, if the empire really has a chance to meet the swordsmen of Wuyang City in the future, Deng Canglan and Li Yaotian will have a very hard time.
Zheng Zhao sighed and said: "I had known that the Japanese were accustomed to back-and-forth, so I had always advocated joining forces with the empire. However, the city lord had his own plan, and I couldn't explain it to him before. Fortunately, starting from today, he finally fully accepted my plan."
I said: "Actually, regardless of north, south or east, we are all brothers and sisters. If we unite, we will prosper, if we divide, we will lose. Of course the city lord also understands this truth."
Zheng Zhaodao: "That's right. Although the monarchy and the republic are incompatible, people are still people after all. In the face of a powerful enemy, other things are secondary. I have always insisted on this, so even though Marquis Zhen once wanted to kill me, I still insisted on killing him.
Join forces with the Empire."
When I thought about the time I went after him on the orders of Marquis Wen, I felt a little uneasy and said, "Mr. Zheng, you are so generous and generous. That is very true."
Zheng Zhao snorted from his nose and said: "Are you generous? I can't compare to Mr. Hai. Your grandson was killed by Mr. Hai, and he still insists that joining forces with the empire is the best option."
Hai Lao's grandson? I was a little confused when I first heard about it, but suddenly a person who came with Zheng Zhao that time jumped out of my mind.
That ugly swordsman! Although the swordsman didn’t look like Ebi, both of them had sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, and were extremely ugly. I asked, “Is he the swordsman who came with you that time?”
Zheng Zhao said: "Exactly." When he said this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I said: "This moment is the same as that moment. Mr. Zheng, since our two armies are going to unite, I hope we can treat each other with sincerity and go through the national crisis together. The future of the Republican Army will definitely have a good development."
Zheng Zhao glanced at me and sneered: "General Chu, you think too highly of yourself. You probably don't have the right to decide the future of the Republican Army."
Although I was ridiculed by him, I still didn't feel dissatisfied and said: "Although I can't do it now, I will try my best."
Zheng Zhao looked at me, as if he wanted to see what I was thinking in my heart. I knew he couldn't use mind reading on me, but I wouldn't be afraid even if he used it. That's what I really thought. When I followed Wu Hou on his southern expedition, I felt
Everyone in the Republican Army is a criminal who will not be pardoned, but after all these years, my thoughts are completely different. The Republican Army
We are all human beings. We can't live in peace with the snake people. Can't we live in peace with the Republican Army? The Republican Army did not do well in the creed of "people first, people first", but this is right.
Compared to the Republican Army, the Empire actually doesn't even have this bit of hypocrisy, it just treats the people as worthless weeds.
Zheng Zhao looked at me for a long time. Just as I was getting scared, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "General Chu, don't be too happy. There is still another difficulty. You have to overcome it before you can truly celebrate."
