"Wang Cheng, Doctor Xia, on this day next year, I will give you two more sticks of incense."
Zhao Tuo held a long sword and came to the cell where Wang Cheng and Xia Wuji were imprisoned. He sneered and said, "I blame you for being so close to Zhao Hao!"
"Ah!"
Wang Cheng chuckled and sneered: "You think if you kill us, no one will know about the things you did? Do you think Young Master Hao will let you two go? It's just one after another on the road to hell!"
"what do you know?!"
Zhao Tuo's face instantly turned ugly and he asked sternly.
Wang Cheng glanced at him disdainfully and said coldly, "How can you hide the murder of the old general from others, even from me? You still want to frame me and put the blame on me. It's just a wishful thinking!"
"Hmph, when it comes to evidence, do you have evidence to prove what you said? Do we have evidence to prove that you colluded with Zhao Hao and rebelled against Da Qin? Even if we kill you now, His Majesty will not blame us!"
Ren Xiao walked in with a cold expression, then softened his tone and continued:
"Wang Cheng, you are with the old general and have worked with us for many years. You should understand us. We are also helpless;
Ever since Zhao Hao came to Nanhai, he has been unfriendly to us;
The reason why he took this tactic was simply because he had no choice but to protect himself.
If you are willing to work with us to impeach Zhao Hao for murdering the old general and plotting rebellion, we can protect your life! "
"Ren Xiao, do you still dare to talk to me about our past colleagues?"
Wang Cheng sneered: "Don't you know how much the old general trusts you? How did you treat the old general? You actually conspired with Zhao Tuo to kill the old general, and you shamelessly involved Young Master Hao!"
"If you hadn't murdered the old general first, would Young Master Hao be unfriendly to you?"
Seeing that Wang Cheng had a faint tendency to irritate Ren Xiao, Xia Wuji on the side grabbed something and threw it directly at him.
There was no other way. He was used to throwing when he first rescued the First Emperor. Now whenever he encounters danger, he wants to throw him.
This Wang Cheng seems to be quite smart, but in fact he is also a man who can't hold his breath. If he continues talking, I'm afraid Zhao Hao's plan will be exposed.
After Xia Wuji stopped Wang Cheng, he rolled his eyes twice and said with a smile: "Two generals, this matter has nothing to do with me. I am just a doctor, and my relationship with Zhao Hao has nothing to do with you. It’s so deep as you can imagine!”
"oh?"
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he suddenly felt happy and hurriedly asked: "What does Lao Ling mean, is he willing to cooperate with us to impeach Zhao Hao?"
"I didn't say I was unwilling, it's just that Zhao Hao is deeply favored by His Majesty. Even if the evidence is conclusive, it may be difficult for us to impeach him successfully if there is no one in the court!"
"Hahaha--!"
Zhao Tuo raised his head and laughed for a while, then said confidently:
"Don't worry about this. We have His Majesty's favorite minister Zhao Gao to bridge the gap between the court and the government. As long as you are willing to stab Zhao Hao in the back, he will be dead!"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and added: "What Your Majesty hates most is betrayal. Even if Zhao Hao is favored again, he will not be able to avoid the fate of his car being broken."
"Oh~~~"
After listening to Zhao Tuo's words, Xia Wuqi made a long note with sudden realization, and then looked at Wang Cheng with a meaningful smile.
The latter nodded immediately: "It turns out that Zhao Gao is making plans behind you two. No wonder you two are so arrogant. It seems that Zhao Gao also has a lot of power in the court!"
Hearing this, Ren Xiao's face turned dark and he cursed wildly at Zhao Tuo:
"Idiot! Kill them quickly! They are trying to trick you! Kill them!"
"Hahaha, kill if you want, what nonsense is that! I wish you an early death and a quick recovery. Maybe we can meet each other on the road to hell!"
Zhao Tuo looked at Wang Cheng who had a mean look on his face, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment.
Damn it, why didn’t I think Wang Cheng was so cheap before?
Could it be that after the death of the old general, he completely let himself go? Don’t want to live anymore?
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo pulled out his sword with a ferocious smile on his face and yelled wildly: "You are seeking death yourself, don't blame us, go to hell!" As he said this, he was about to stab Wang Cheng and Xia Wuji to death.
However, at this moment, an ecstatic voice suddenly came from outside the door: "General Zhao, Ren Junwei, good news, good news, your majesty has sent people to arrest Young Master Hao, and he is waiting for you to go back and testify." his guilt;
In addition, Your Majesty will reward you because you defeated the Vietnamese army! "
"What?"
When Ren Xiao heard this, he was slightly startled and looked at the visitor with disbelief.
This person is his confidant and will never betray him, so his words are not false.
But, what is going on? It seems that the two of them haven't exerted much force yet. How come Zhao Hao was caught and was rewarded for no reason?
Is it because of Zhao Gao's operation?
Thinking of this, Ren Xiao quickly stopped Zhao Tuo and said: "Don't worry about them for now, go out and see what's going on!"
"But."
Zhao Tuo hesitated a little, thinking that it was you who asked me to kill them, and it was you who asked me not to kill them. What on earth are you doing?
However, Zhao Tuo also heard what the soldier said, and his heart was also full of doubts.
Seeing Zhao Tuo's hesitation, the soldier said again: "Two generals, I specifically asked the censor who announced the decree. Your Majesty not only sent people to arrest Gongzi Hao, but also the generals related to Gongzi Hao. stand up;
In addition, the credit for the surrender of Xiou to Da Qin belongs to these two generals!
If the two generals hadn't defeated the Ouyue allied forces, Xiou would not have surrendered so quickly. His Majesty said that the two of you have destroyed a country and should be made marquises and generals! "
"this"
Hearing this, Ren Xiao was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He couldn't help but raised his head and roared, kicked Zhao Tuo who was still hesitating, and shouted: "Go the hell away, hurry up and accept the order!"
Zhao Tuo was kicked until he was stunned, and then he realized what he was doing and cursed: "Are you fucking crazy? Why are you kicking me!"
"Can't you see it? Zhao Fu's order is helping us, His Majesty already believes in us, and the imperial edict of the reward has been issued;
We don’t need to deal with these two people, just leave them to His Majesty;
There is no need for us to go out of our way and be charged with killing imperial prisoners without permission."
"Wait a minute!"
"what happened again?"
Before Ren Xiao could finish his words, Zhao Tuo raised his hand to interrupt him and said with a frown: "I remember that yesterday the two security bureau personnel notified us to go to Linchen City to meet His Majesty. Why did His Majesty issue a reward today?" Us? Don’t you think there’s something fishy about this matter?”
"The Security Bureau is a government agency established by Zhao Hao. Do you trust his people?" Ren Xiao asked Zhao Tuo in a funny tone.
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment and seemed to think it made sense.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't trust the people in the Security Bureau, he wouldn't have come here to kill Wang Cheng and Xia Wuji today.
As for the censor who declared the decree, he had plenty of ways to verify its authenticity, so there was no need to worry at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo immediately made up his mind, put away his sword and walked out of the cell with Ren Xiao.
At this time, two burly eunuchs stood behind a fair-skinned eunuch who looked like a woman, looking straight and as calm as a mountain.
Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao came to the living room and saw the three of them at a glance. They couldn't help but frown: "The faces of the three of them seem a little unfamiliar. They are not like the eunuchs who came to the South China Sea with your Majesty this time. Dare I ask who the three of them are?" Come on time?"
"hehe."
The censor who looked like a woman smiled and said, "I guess this is General Zhao Tuo who is speaking, right?"
"Oh? You haven't seen me?"
"Although it is our first time to meet him, at first glance, General Zhao is extraordinary, and he looks like a dragon or a phoenix!"
"hehe."
Zhao Tuo smiled noncommittally, then changed the subject and said: "Since this is the first time we meet, the required procedures still need to be verified. I wonder if the censor has credentials?"
"Yes! This is Zhao Fuling's belt, and this is the inheritance test!"
"Zhao Fu Ling? Are you Zhao Gao's people?"
"Exactly!"
Nodding and saying that, the eunuch who looked like a woman took out all the things that proved his identity.
Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao looked at each other, and the latter decisively stepped forward to check them one by one.
After all, Ren Xiao was in Nanhai, mainly engaged in government affairs, and was very familiar with the imperial seal.
As long as he personally inspects it, he can distinguish the authenticity.
Soon, Ren Xiao verified the other party's identity and found that he was indeed Zhao Gao's person.
Seeing Ren Xiao finish checking himself, the eunuch who looked like a woman turned to look at the two sturdy eunuchs behind him and said with a smile: "Do they need to prove their identities?"
"No."
Zhao Tuo received Ren Xiao's confirmation and immediately smiled and waved his hand: "Let's read out His Majesty's decree first!"
"The two generals have misunderstood. I am just the deputy envoy. I am located ten miles outside the camp. If the two generals have nothing to do, you can follow me there!"
"What does this mean?"
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
Ren Xiao on the side also looked suspicious. Why didn't the envoy come to the camp? Is there any fraud in this?
This person's identity has been verified by himself, and there is absolutely no way it is false.
Could it be that Zhao Gao suddenly rebelled? Want to kill both of you?
Impossible!
How could Zhao Gao turn against him?
If this matter is exposed, he will be the one who suffers the most!
You know, it was not easy for him to lie dormant beside the First Emperor for decades.
After thinking for a moment, Ren Xiao glanced at Zhao Tuo again and asked tentatively: "May I ask the deputy envoy, why doesn't the envoy come to the camp?"
"Yes, deputy envoy, we have a close relationship with Zhao Fuling. If he comes to the camp, he will be greatly thanked!" Zhao Tuo also agreed with a smile.
Hearing this, the fair-skinned eunuch suddenly became angry: "Those people from the Security Bureau are simply lawless. In order to delay Young Master Hao's time, they actually administered laxatives to Zheng Zheng while we were on our way to the camp!
It’s so heartbreaking and crazy to the extreme!
You don’t know that if you take a step now and pull a bunch, your intestines are almost pulled out, and you don’t dare to move any further. If you hadn’t kept in mind the mission given by Zhao Fuling, you would have put the pulled intestines around your neck. , hanged himself! "
"Ah? This"
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao were surprised at the same time and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I took one step and pooped out a lot, and even my intestines were about to come out. What kind of laxative is this, so strong? !
Also, the people from the Security Bureau turned out to be so despicable. Fortunately, the two of them did not believe their words!
You don't need to think about it to know that the order from His Majesty yesterday must have been Zhao Hao's idea, and the purpose was to attack the two of them first!
"You are in the South China Sea. You don't know how weird the methods of those people from the Security Bureau are. Da Tian Ling, as an official of the imperial court, was poisoned and committed suicide by people from the Security Bureau just because he offended Young Master Hao. Moreover, he was the kind of person who was not respected by himself. Controlled suicide, even no evidence can be found!”
"this"
When Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao heard this, they immediately believed it.
Because Datian Ling was Shi Lu's immediate superior and was responsible for the backup work of Lingqu, Shi Lu once mentioned this matter in front of Wang Jian, hoping that Wang Jian would save him, but Wang Jian refused directly because Wang Jian did not want to go against Zhao Hao.
At that time, they were beside Wang Jian and listened to Shi Lu's story throughout.
Unexpectedly, that Da Tian Ling actually died like this.
"May I ask the deputy envoy, is the chief envoy okay?"
After coming back to his senses, Ren Xiao tentatively said:
"We have military doctors in the camp, as well as His Majesty's imperial physician, and doctors from the Daqin Medical Center. They are all here. Do you want to take them with you?"
"This, isn't this Daqin Medical Center run by Zhao Hao?"
The deputy envoy looked hesitant, but he was overjoyed.
At this time, Zhao Tuo helped: "Don't worry, deputy envoy, as long as we don't tell them who they are treating and threaten Wang Cheng's life, they will never dare to do anything wrong!"
"That's very good, then let's take it with us."
"OK!"
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed and quickly asked his bodyguard to take Xia Wuji and the doctors from Daqin Medical Center with him, and follow these three eunuchs to see the so-called envoy.
Of course, he did not completely trust these three eunuchs, and asked Ren Xiao to lead 800 personal guards to protect them.
If there is any fraud, these 800 personal guards can protect them from the siege.
There was an envoy opposite, with only two to three hundred people in total.
When Wang Jian went to Shouying to recuperate, apart from the 3,000 elites led by Tu Sui, there were only 500 guards. If a mission exceeded this number, it would be considered arrogant.
Your Majesty may still ask questions at that time.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao could not hold back the excitement of the feudal lord for a long time, and immediately accelerated their efforts.
Along the way, they did not forget to mock Wang Cheng and Xia Wuji.
One of the two people was tied like a rice dumpling on the back of a horse, and the other was on a horse. They were stared at by dozens of guards and couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
As for the doctors at Daqin Medical Center, they were as honest as quails. They didn't dare to make a sound and just kept their heads down and rode their horses.
At this time, Wang Cheng, who was trapped on his horse, did not forget to curse:
"God has no eyes to see. He allowed such traitors to harm the old general and the young master!"
However, Xia Wuji, who was sitting in the prison car, looked at the deputy envoy carefully and felt that he looked familiar.
When the deputy envoy saw this, he immediately slapped the prison car with a whip and said angrily: "What are you looking at? If you look at it again, I'll dig out your eyeballs. Old man, is this the poison you researched? It's poisoning my uncle! It's harming our family." The uncle has diarrhea and is about to die!"
When Xia Wuji heard this, his face suddenly filled with anger:
"I have been practicing medicine all my life and have saved countless lives. I have never harmed anyone. You can stop talking nonsense!"
"Stop talking nonsense, if you can't save me, I will cut you into pieces!"
"you!"
Xia Wuqe blushed with anger and his neck was thick. He pointed at the deputy envoy and said: "You little eunuch, you are so lawless. It is simply unreasonable!"
Zhao Tuo came over and said with a smile: "Why should the deputy be as familiar with him? I will leave him to you later and vent your anger at will!"
"Very good, our family will take off his beard later. We hate men with beards the most!"
Zhao Tuo: "."
Ren Xiao: "."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, the two of them touched their beards awkwardly and turned their heads to the side.
After about half a quarter of an hour, the group finally came to a small forest.
The surrounding vegetation is lush and the shadows of the trees are swaying.
More than a hundred war horses were grazing freely on the grass.
More than a hundred guards surrounded a man wearing official robes and squatting on the ground, asking for help.
Presumably, this person is Zhao Gao's confidant and the official envoy of this decree.
