A few days later, Chenshi;
"Master Tang! There is news. The murder of Vice General Zhou has now come to light. After comparison, the murderer turned out to be the deputy commander of the camp!
When we found him, he did not resist. Instead, he admitted frankly and told the motive and reasons for the crime. It was really upsetting! It seems that the people around me are not completely trustworthy! "
A Fei said while stamping his foot.
He lifted up his robe fiercely and complained angrily to Tang Jianqiu.
"Now that the murderer has been brought to justice, why are you still upset?"
Tang Jianqiu couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, the matter was settled, but now he reacted like this. I really don't know why he was bothered.
Ah Fei was already aggrieved, but now he was even more angry when he encountered such a thing, and he poured out all his bitterness;
"My lord, I don't know. It's true that this can save trouble. What really makes my subordinates incomprehensible is the reason why the deputy commander murdered the other party. Why do you think that person did this?"
"I don't want to guess, so just tell me."
Tang Jianqiu knew that there were many reasons for killing, such as killing for love, killing for vendetta, killing for money, clearing obstacles, manslaughter, etc. The deputy commander's real purpose of killing was probably to take this opportunity to get promoted.
Hearing this, Ah Fei was completely out of breath. He didn't seem to expect that such an answer would come to him, and he felt even more helpless when he spoke.
"Sir, it's boring for you to do this! Uh, okay, okay, my subordinate will tell you now."
The latter sentence was added after noticing something was wrong in Tang Jianqiu's eyes. After all, he still wanted to live.
"At first, I thought that he wanted to get rid of someone else's official position so that he could ascend to the position. Who knew that the man was just unhappy with Vice General Zhou?
On weekdays, Vice Commander Zhou is very strict with others and has a bad temper. It is difficult to get along with the soldiers. Over time, the seeds of hatred have been planted in the heart of the deputy commander.
Do you think this is unfair? It is estimated that Vice General Zhou will not understand why he was buried. "
Tang Jianqiu: "..."
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in official circles. It is very possible to change the whole person's opinion just because of one sentence, and even lead to death!
And he doesn't know whether this life will change because of his intervention.
Seeing that Tang Jianqiu was silent, A Fei was confused, and then said: "Master Tang, who is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
"There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. Even if it is reasonable, I can't tell. Ah Fei, please look after Beizhen Fusi for me for the time being. I'll be back soon."
Ah Fei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling unbelievable.
His chin jutted forward, and he pointed at himself in surprise.
"Sir, are you talking about me? Are you kidding?"
"I don't have time to joke with you. The weapon I ordered from the blacksmith a few days ago should be ready soon. I just went to pick it up." Tang Jianqiu said casually.
Ah Fei suddenly realized, "I see, you can just leave this matter to me, why bother you to do it yourself?"
"That's not necessary. It's better for me to go by myself."
Tang Jianqiu has made up his mind. Only when he goes there can he know whether the forged weapons are suitable and whether they are defective.
Not long after, Tang Jianqiu arrived at the blacksmith's place.
The owner of this blacksmith's shop is very enthusiastic. Although the shop is a bit small, the craftsmanship of forging weapons is even more outstanding. Everyone who comes here to ask the shop owner to make weapons will praise him.
And Tang Jianqiu often came to their store, and he became familiar with them after going back and forth, so he could communicate better.
Several guys in the shop were busy washing sand, and the owner of the blacksmith shop was busy making iron, but now he was even more excited to see regular customers coming.
After finishing the work, he happily came forward to show his courtesy, with a flattering look on his face.
"Mr. Tang, you are here. I have strictly followed the drawings you gave me and used high-quality materials. I guarantee you will like it!
It's just that the time you gave me is a bit tight. I've already tried my best. Please allow Mr. Tang some more time. I promise to deliver it to your house personally! "
Since the boss said so, Tang Jianqiu didn't want to be embarrassed, so he agreed, "That's fine, in this case you should hurry up."
"Don't worry, I will try my best!"
Since the knife was not finished yet, Tang Jianqiu had to turn back the way he came, but by chance, he met Su Jing who was doing nothing on the way.
Su Jing also noticed him and greeted him warmly.
"Jianqiu, how come it's such a coincidence? You're here too!"
I still remember that the first time we met in this life was by chance, but the location and timeline were different.
"I just have something to do, Su Jing. Are you finished with the Dali Temple matter?"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Tang Jianqiu just said it in a normal tone, but for Su Jing, it had another meaning:
"I said this is too disappointing for you. Why are you talking about business when you are here? Haha, you are joking. If the business is not finished, how can I dare to go out and wander around? If this spreads out, people will talk about it."
Tang Jianqiu disagreed, "Even so, we can't completely relax our vigilance."
Su Jing just waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, do you still remember what happened when you were young?"
At first Tang Jianqiu didn't take it to heart, but after he mentioned it, he suddenly had an impression.
"Oh? When you said that, I remembered it. I was really hurt by you at that time."
Su Jing was a little unhappy after hearing this, and seemed to think that Tang Jianqiu's choice of words was inappropriate, so he said: "Why do you say that?
If I hadn't been the one to bring you and the Shen family's legitimate daughter together, how would you have gotten to this point? I guess we grew up together and know each other somewhat.
It is said that these days are the days for competitions to recruit brides. There must be a lot of people coming to participate. After all, they are all coveting the beauty of the girl. Aren't you worried? "
"The method of provoking generals is useless to me." Tang Jianqiu replied calmly.
That being said, he actually cared about Shen Hongluan more than anyone else, but he was just not good at expressing it.
Even though he didn't say anything, his body's reaction was beyond instinct, and an inexplicable jealousy arose spontaneously.
Su Jing stretched out his big hand, put it on Tang Jianqiu's shoulder, and said with a hint of ridicule:
"I said Jianqiu, you are not being kind. This girl has been a Shui Ling since she was a child. When she grows up, she has nothing to say. There are countless people who like her. Do you dare to say that you have no intention of her? Even wood like you should melt, right?”
"Long-winded."
After saying that, Tang Jianqiu stood up from his seat and was about to leave when Su Jing stopped him.
"I said Jianqiu, why are you running so fast? Are you looking for Miss Shen's family?"
"Why are you so noisy? If you have nothing to do, just ask your little lady."
Tang Jianqiu was planning to ignore him, but who would have thought that Su Jing refused to let him go and insisted on asking him clearly.
"Jianqiu, you are being unkind! Why are you just thinking of sending me away? Why did I find that when I mention Miss Shen, you run faster than anything else?"
Tang Jianqiu was already a little impatient, so he accelerated his original pace.
The reason why he can bear it is because the other person is his best friend. It would be uncomfortable if he keeps asking questions.
However, Su Jing became a little anxious when he saw Tang Jianqiu like this, "Hey, Jianqiu, Tang Jianqiu! Wait for me!"
Su Jing chased towards where Tang Jianqiu was, and in an instant, the memories of their childhood began.
At that time, Tang Jianqiu was only in his early twenties. He was very focused on wielding the relatively light long knife, and the movements of his hand became faster and faster with the bleak autumn wind.
Thinking of what his master had taught him, Xiao Tang Jianqiu worked harder and harder, his eyes filled with a killing intent that was inappropriate for this age group.
Little Tang Jianqiu's childish shouts rang out, while little Shen Hongluan lay on the ground blankly, staring blankly at Xiao Tang Jianqiu, her watery eyes filled with admiration.
I saw her holding her soft cheeks with her two tender hands, pouting her little mouth, with a cute face, and her short legs dangling from time to time.
"Brother Tang is so awesome!"
She seemed to be looking at a peerless hero, with indescribable excitement.
As for Su Jing, he was still considered a playboy in the eyes of outsiders, and since he was young, there was nothing to say about it.
At that time, he could be said to be quite naughty and actually planned to tease Tang Jianqiu.
Seeing that Xiao Tang Jianqiu was concentrating on practicing martial arts without any defense, Xiao Su Jing took this opportunity to come to Xiao Shen Hongluan and whispered to her in a low voice:
"Do you still remember what I taught you earlier? Just use the trick I just taught you and attack from behind! I don't believe that Tang Jianqiu can react!"
Little Su Jing couldn't wait any longer and just wanted to catch him off guard.
After hearing this, Xiao Shen Hongluan fell into a brief hesitation, like an aggrieved rabbit, and said tangledly:
"Okay, brother Su Jing, will this make it impossible to win?"
Little Su Jing didn't take it seriously. He raised his thumb proudly and pointed at himself:
"This is called controlling the enemy wisely! You are a girl, much thinner than Tang Jianqiu. If you want to defeat him, you have to rely on your brain, do you understand?"
Little Shen Hongluan suddenly realized, she slapped her young palm, "Yes, that seems to be the truth. I definitely can't beat him head-on! Look at me!"
Just do it, little Shen Hongluan took advantage of little Tang Jianqiu's unpreparedness to slow down his steps. When he was about to approach him, little Shen Hongluan suddenly made a childish voice.
"Hey, ah, ah, ah—Brother Tang, watch your move!"
Xiao Tang Jianqiu was caught off guard and had to drop the weapon in his hand for fear of hurting her, but his body fell to the ground due to inertia.
As a result, Xiao Tang Jianqiu's whole body lay on his body, but Xiao Shen Hongluan took this opportunity to perform a fatal scissor kick, so that his breathing became rough.
Little Shen Hongluan was so proud of this, like a child who had received a reward, she made a childish cry like a warbler.
"Yeah~ I won! I defeated Brother Tang!!!"
"Hongluan! What are you doing?"
Xiao Tang Jianqiu struggled desperately, but now he was forcibly suppressed by Xiao Shen Hongluan, and he was still riding a horse, which was a bit embarrassing for him.
Shen Hongluan's lotus-like tender feet locked onto Xiao Tang Jianqiu's throat, making him unable to break away for a moment and his face turned red.
Seeing this scene, little Su Jing laughed instead of getting angry. He sat on the ground and laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.
"Hahaha! It's really more interesting than I thought."
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the tools for traditional Chinese painting, he would have painted this interesting scene with pen and ink, so as to make fun of Tang Jianqiu.
"Hong Luan, you are unworthy of martial ethics!"
This was the first time that he encountered such a thing. Xiao Tang Jianqiu felt quite embarrassed. He wanted to resist but was afraid that the force would be too strong and hurt her.
"Su Jing! What did you teach her?!"
Xiao Tang Jianqiu roared angrily, and he swore that as long as he got rid of Xiao Shen Hongluan, he would never let Su Jing go!
Little Su Jing didn't take it seriously, but was proud of it: "Teach her how to outsmart her. Who wants to be a lump like you~"
After that, he picked up a piece of straw from the ground, held it in his mouth, and hummed briskly.
Xiao Tang Jianqiu almost fainted from anger, but what Xiao Shen Hongluan said next made him feel even more desperate:
"Hahaha, brother Tang, let's come again~!"
After saying that Xiao Shen Hongluan planned to use the same move on Xiao Tang Jianqiu, Xiao Tang Jianqiu quickly shouted in surprise:
"Hong Luan - it's against the rules for you to sit on me like this!"
Seeing the other party in such pain, Xiao Su Jing was overjoyed. He patted the grass as he spoke, "Hahaha! It won't work. He is on guard now. We have to find another way!"
"Su Jing! You'd better wash your neck for me!"
Xiao Tang Jianqiu was completely angry now. No matter how good their relationship was, he had to teach this bastard a lesson now!
Xiao Su Jing pretended to be surprised, so he could try to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger: "Hey, the wooden bump is going to hit someone, I'd better take the best strategy~ Jianqiu, enjoy it."
After that, Xiao Su Jing pretended to leave, and Xiao Tang Jianqiu almost fainted on the spot because of his anger.
"You! Su Jing——"
Fortunately, Tang Jianqiu was not too profound about this matter, otherwise if he thought of Su Jing again today, he would probably "doomed".
