In Chen Mo's impression, the black-faced captain showed no emotion or anger. Ever since they met, he had never seen him smile.
Even when he spoke, he was serious and serious.
It was only at this time that his expression changed significantly.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is no different from seeing a ghost.
Chen Mo didn't expect that Huamei Shu was not like this. He stood dumbly with the dagger in his hand and felt a little confused for a moment.
On the other hand, the black-faced captain seemed not to notice the change in the expressions of the two men, and walked a few steps to Huameishu.
Staring at the dagger, his breathing became a little short.
"The dagger...can you let me see it?"
"Chen Mo..."
Huameishu was a little scared and couldn't help but lean to the side.
"Give him a beautiful book."
The black-faced lieutenant's expression changed when he saw things, so he must have some hidden secret. Chen Mo also wanted to know what the relationship between the other party and the owner of the dagger was.
If you can build a relationship, it will be a live move to keep the balance intact.
Huameishu responded and handed over the dagger. The black-faced captain took it nervously and began to look at it carefully.
At first, there was doubt.
Then came the shock.
Finally, it was settled in an indescribable solemnity.
"I have something to ask, can you tell me the truth?"
The black-faced captain held the dagger in both hands and looked at Hua Meishu. Although his face was still stern, his attitude when speaking was much better.
"Please tell me."
At this moment, Huamei Shu has regained its former indifference.
"What is your relationship with the owner of this dagger?" When he asked, Captain Hei's voice was a little trembling.
It's like having some kind of expectations and at the same time worrying about failure.
"The dagger belongs to him." Hua Meishu pointed at Chen Mo, "So if there is any problem, you should talk about it."
After Hua Meishu finished speaking, he walked straight to one side.
The black-faced captain nodded, looked at Chen Mo, and asked the same question as before.
"This thing..."
"Sit down and talk."
Chen Mo interrupted, motioned to sit down, and then explained the matter about the dagger.
The reason why he didn't hide anything was because he could see that the relationship between the other party and the owner of the dagger was benign.
As expected, after listening to Chen Mo's words, the black-faced captain suppressed his excitement and asked.
"What's the name of the person who gave you the dagger?"
"Bai Zhenbei!"
This name is still fresh in Chen Mo's memory.
But what he didn't expect was that the black-faced captain was slightly stunned for a moment, and then respectfully returned the dagger.
"My dear Zhong Kui, I have offended you in some way before. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhong Kui?
Chen Mo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, why did he call him this name?
Not to mention, in terms of skin color and taciturn personality, he is somewhat similar to the cold-faced Heavenly Master.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Mo took the dagger.
At the same time, he quickly responded politely.
"General, you are serious. I would like to ask you, what is the relationship between you and my old friend?"
Friendship for the New Year?
These three words made Zhong Kui's heart skip a beat.
In an instant, it became clear in my heart.
That's right, in terms of age, the two of them can only be friends forever.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the marshal to give away the treasure he carries with him.
Others may not know what this dagger means to the marshal, but Zhong Kui, who was once a personal guard, knows it all too well.
It can even be said that the dagger is half the marshal's life.
Giving half of your life to others is enough to show how close the relationship between the two is.
Just like this, Zhong Kui was in trouble.
First they brought Chen Mo and the others here, and later when Hou Yong launched an attack, they chose to be spectators. Now they were even locked up in a tent, waiting for military law to be dealt with. Not to mention all of these together, just take them out.
He couldn't eat any of it and walked around.
what to do?
Apologize!
I can only apologize!
Moreover, it must be the kind of person who regrets his mistakes and is sincere.
Thinking of this, Zhong Kui was heartbroken and knelt down in front of Chen Mo.
"Sir, please forgive me."
"Chen Mo, what's going on?"
Huameishu stood nearby and quickly stepped forward when he saw this scene.
Chen Mo was also a little confused, but he didn't show it too obviously.
Because he had already guessed the relationship between Zhong Kui and Bai Zhenbei. If his guess was correct, the two had a superior-subordinate relationship.
Moreover, the relationship is very close.
Only in this way can we explain Zhong Kui's reaction after seeing the dagger and why he knelt down to plead guilty.
"Unexpectedly, Bai Zhenbei actually served here?"
While muttering in his heart, Chen Mo also suddenly realized something.
Bai Zhenbei, could he be the original Marshal Zhenbei?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Chen Mo was startled by his own thoughts, and after a little thought, he rejected this speculation.
First of all, if Bai Zhenbei is really a marshal, then the place where he lives will definitely be protected watertight.
But what about the facts?
That night I went to visit and saw only one servant, Alai.
Second, it’s Bai Qi.
If Bai Zhenbei was the marshal, how could he not find his daughter?
With one order, let alone Baihe County, the entire Taizhou City, and even the whole country could be turned upside down.
The most important thing is, how could the majestic grand marshal sit down with me and have a drink and talk.
Isn't this a joke?
coincide.
Definitely a coincidence.
With several thoughts running through his mind, Chen Mo quickly helped Zhong Kui up.
"The general just calls me Chen Mo. I can't bear the word sir."
Zhong Kui stood up, took a deep breath and said, "Sir, there is no need to say this. I just inquired privately that you are the instructor of the academy, and you can teach in all academies in the county. This is enough to show your knowledge."
"He's just a teacher. The general doesn't need to take him to heart."
After finishing speaking, Chen Mo asked the previous question again.
What is the connection between Zhong Kui and Bai Zhenbei?
After the other party's explanation, Chen Mo finally understood the reason.
As previously speculated, Bai Zhenbei had served in the fortress, and Zhong Kui was one of his personal guards at that time.
Later, Bai Zhenbei left, and Zhong Kui was recruited by Hou Yong because he was outstanding in all aspects.
"Sir, it's all my fault for what happened before. I didn't figure out your identity. Now I'll take you two out of here."
"Where are you going?" Huameishu suddenly looked happy.
"Go to Nanying." Zhong Kui said lowly and urgently, "I know Yang Qi, and I can only see him if I go there."
"Great, Chen Mo, let's go." Hua Meishu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"No rush."
Chen Mo waved his hand and looked at Zhong Kui.
"The general was ordered to imprison us. If we were to let us go privately, the consequences would be disastrous, so we should make other plans."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhong Kui shook his head and looked at the dagger in Chen Mo's hand.
"I am a soldier and I understand the importance of military orders, but... that was before."
"From now on, I will only obey the orders of Sir."
"Not to mention going to Nanying, even if your husband wants to go to the enemy's country, I will risk my life to accompany you."
