This question elicited strange looks from the two people present.
"What's wrong? Isn't it bad? The rough guy has never read. You scholars are very particular and have taboos...and so on. Don't be offended." The man was anxious.
Zhao Zheng became even more curious.
If you want to ask why Zhao Gao was so surprised when he heard the word "Weng Zhong [1]", we should start with the stone figures standing next to the mausoleum shrine that he saw in his previous life.
The tall stone figures guarding the tomb are none other than the stone statues of Weng Zhong. When Zhao Gao thought that this dear man would be compared or imagined to be made into a statue before his soul by the princes and generals in the future, he felt a little incomprehensible, and he also wanted to know unkindly, if the brother Weng Zhong in front of him knew this. How to think about things.
"No... I'm not surprised." After finally regaining his composure, Zhao Gao caught on to Brother Weng Zhong's problem when he spoke. He glanced at Zhao Zheng guiltily and saw that he was smiling with evil intentions, as if to say: Teacher has the same problem. today.
"Hey, rice." Brother Weng Zhong was embarrassed, but he did not forget what Zhao Zheng said before, and he proudly handed his rations to the injured Zhao Gao.
But Zhao Gao always looked at him and unconsciously chased these half-cold meals, knowing that he was actually reluctant to part with them. He shook his head and said, "Thank you, but no need. The strong man can eat it himself."
Weng Zhong didn't expect that he would refuse. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was obviously a little happy. However, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhao Zheng looking at him. Remembering what he had just promised, he insisted: "Poison...it's not poisonous...just do it."
Zhao Gao was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he looked at the small pottery bottle on the side and said, "I believe you. Is that wine? I'll just take a sip to quench my thirst."
"Are you really bad?" Weng Zhong wondered why someone would have trouble with food.
Zhao Gao smiled and said politely: "I just ate it."
Only then did Weng Zhong remember that he had targeted these two people in the wine shop before. In fact, these things are not enough for me, but something is better than nothing. Zhao Gao said no, he thought it was an unexpected surprise.
After giving Zhao Gao a sip of wine, he was about to squat aside and wolf down the food, but he heard Zhao Zheng say, "You won't give me a sip? I'm thirsty too."
He didn't buy it this time, and his words became crisper: "You're not hurt." After saying that, he squatted down decisively and never looked at Zhao Zheng again.
This time it was Political Commissar Zhao's turn to look at Zhao Gao with aggrieved expression and silently accuse him.
But Zhao Gao didn't look at him at all. He was fascinated by the way he was eating, thinking: Is this guy a glutton?
Zhao Zheng followed his gaze and looked at Weng Zhong. If looks could kill, then Zhao Zheng's sharp gaze could probably poke Weng Zhong into a hornet's nest.
The good times did not last long. Weng Zhong seemed to have remembered something when he was halfway through eating. He decisively put down the bean cake in his hand and said to Zhao Gao with a straight face: "I did this... because you are not in good health, but don't get me wrong. You are a spy. I will not Bullying you, but...if there is an order from above to kill you, it will not...I will not show mercy, and you." The last sentence was said to Zhao Zheng.
In fact, people are not stupid, they are just more realistic and very accurate in deciding between right and wrong. Zhao Zheng finished his evaluation calmly, his expression finally softened, and he nodded matter-of-factly: "The two armies are fighting, that's how it should be."
Zhao Gao also said: "This is natural."
After explaining this, Weng Zhong held his hair and thought about it carefully. After making sure that nothing was missing, he began to eat with peace of mind. He saw that he was full of wind and clouds, and in a few breaths, the pot and bowl were empty.
Not long after Weng Zhong finished eating, the outside of the tent became noisy. A group of people ignored Weng Zhong who was squatting on the ground and opened the curtain to talk to themselves. Zhao Gao saw the people clearly and found that it was the team leader who had left earlier and brought people over.
With a "crash" sound, Zhao Gao and Zhao Zheng were unceremoniously poured a basin of water on their faces, and their clothes and hair were instantly soaked. The remaining water on their faces and hair dripped down their necks and hair, dripping onto the ground, making them look particularly embarrassed.
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Gao laughed at himself and thought: Bad idea.
Zhao Zheng had no time to take care of himself and looked at Zhao Gao with concern, wanting to make sure he was okay. However, the other party didn't give him a chance. He grabbed his hair with a piece of coarse cloth and started to wipe it hard on his face.
As for Zhao Gao, his hair was only fixed with a wooden hairpin. When he was grabbed like this, the hairpin fell to the ground and all his hair spread out. There seemed to be countless needles pricking at the roots of his hair, and the flesh on his face was sore from the coarse cloth. His cold, wet clothes clung tightly to his body, making his whole body uncomfortable.
Although Zhao Zheng couldn't move, his eyes were sharp and the majestic energy suddenly filled his body. When the other party finished wiping the lotion on his face and looked at him, his heart tightened uncontrollably. After taking a step back, he still felt lingering fear and dared not Look him straight in the eyes again.
It happened that he turned his head at this time, and his eyes met Zhao Gao unexpectedly. It was obviously just a simple exchange of glances, but the eyes of the two people who looked embarrassed instantly became a little brighter. The next moment, they closed their eyes in tacit agreement. My heart fell silent.
The red marks on Zhao Gao's face not only failed to cover up the beauty of his face, but also gave Baijiang a different kind of lingering meaning. The Baijiang couldn't help but licked his lower lip, unable to bear it. It stayed on Zhao Gao's face and lingered on his soaked clothes again and again.
How could Zhao Gao not notice such an explicit reaction? But in a blink of an eye, the peaceful aura in his body was swept away, replaced by the cold and solemn air of the snow-covered Cangshan Mountain. He, who had rarely shown his emotions, now had a look of disgust on his face, and he could not even hide it.
Seeing Zhao Gao being coveted by such a disgusting villain, Zhao Zheng had a strong murderous intention. If Zhao Gao hadn't seen what he was thinking and calmly shook his head at him, he might have exploded on the spot. .
Baijiang didn't know that he had just walked away from the gate of hell. When he came back to his senses and saw the appearance and demeanor of the two of them, he realized that he might have really captured two big shots this time, and he looked surprised. He asked to the left and right: "Since this is a detailed work, have you ever searched me?"
The Wu Chief hurriedly flattered: "The identities of these two people may be very important, and they are waiting for Bai Lai to seek justice. If any important items are found but the news is leaked, I will not be able to defend myself."
Zhao Zheng glanced at the Wu Commander and the Hundred Generals gloomily, and thought jokingly: It turns out to be the Hundred Generals. It's incredible. In just a short time, this news has reached hundreds of generals.
The team leader accidentally met Zhao Zheng's stern gaze, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and immediately shrank back.
Although Baijiang also felt a little frightened, he knew that he had to hide it and not let his subordinates see it. Zhao Gao and Zhao Zheng glanced at his slightly vibrating sleeves and felt relieved.
At this time, in order to cover up his emotions, Baijiang shouted impatiently to the left and right: "What are you doing standing here? Search quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the tent. The soldiers on the left and right looked at me, and I looked at you, and they started to make decisions. They looked at each other fiercely, but no one dared to raise their head and look Zhao Zheng in the eyes, let alone step forward to take action.
Some people saw that Zhao Gaorong was weak and wanted to take advantage of him, but Zhao Zheng's eyes immediately caught up with him. He was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up and he stopped angrily.
In fact, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. Everyone knows that in a war, you will die or I will live. There are enemies a hundred times more ferocious than Zhao Zheng everywhere. When it comes to killing the enemy with all their strength, they are also willing to go all out. Because they are Lao Qin people, and Lao Qin people are not cowards!
But it's strange. Now this man is in a miserable state, just looking at them silently. He doesn't have a deadly sword in his hand, and even his movements are restricted. But looking at him, everyone still feels... Under great pressure.
Although there was a reason that this was not a battlefield and the person had not yet been forced to a dead end, the more reason was that the sense of oppression on his body was too strong. It was unlike anyone they had seen before. This kind of magnificence radiated from the inside out. His magnanimity, even without deliberately showing off, can easily envelope them, forming a force as heavy as a million, suppressing them until they can't breathe.
Facing such people, they instinctively feel scared.
"You go." Although the generals were not particularly afraid of Zhao Zheng, they did not want to lose the dignity of the commander. As for Zhao Gao, if possible, he would like to go forward and search Zhao Gao himself, but with such an identity, it would be too obvious to do it himself. He looked at the team leader, who transferred the task to Weng Zhong: "Go and search yourself. This is an order."
Weng Zhong hesitated at first, but when he heard the word "order", he said nothing more and turned around to take action. I don’t know if it was other people’s misunderstanding, but after Weng Zhong passed by, Zhao Zheng’s aura became much weaker. They thought to themselves: If you encounter someone who is arrogant, you won’t have to worry about being able to deal with him if you find someone more arrogant than him, let alone , this fool’s appearance is horrifying, but it’s actually quite useful at times like this.
Only Zhao Gao knew that Zhao Zheng had not allowed anyone to touch him before. Firstly, he did not want these people to get close to him casually, and secondly, considering that his body had not recovered, he was afraid that others would attack him lightly.
Of course, there are things that Zhao Gao doesn’t know. In fact, if it was Zhao Zheng himself who let people get close to him in this situation, he would not be so resistant. What he didn't want was for Zhao Gao to be touched casually. Now that he is willing to take back his aura, it is nothing more than changing into an honest person that he admires more. Although he will still be unwilling to accept it, he can feel more at ease after all.
Zhao Gao only had a small bottle of liquid for wiping his face with him, but Zhao Zheng, on the other hand, had a fine iron dagger and a jade seal, which were quickly found. What a coincidence, these two things were gifts from Zhao Gao, and they were both treasured by him.
Watching Weng Zhong search these two things out of Zhao Zheng's arms and present them to the generals, Zhao Gao glanced at Zhao Zheng with a strange expression. There were so many things in his eyes that even he himself couldn't explain what he felt in his heart. , in short, mixed tastes.
And Zhao Zheng, watching his most precious things being searched out, was unwilling to agree. He happened to ignore Zhao Gao's gaze by staring at the things, but as long as he turned around at this time, he would definitely be able to see Zhao Gao clearly. What a soft luster filled the dark eyes.
The potion for wiping the face is not rare. Bai Jiang didn't even look at it. He only took the jade seal in his hand and looked at it in surprise. Although he didn't understand it, he intuitively felt that it should be worth a lot of money.
Someone on the side didn't even blink. At this time, he was actually mentioning something else: "The decoration on the dagger belongs to the State of Zhao. Maybe it's a token."
Baijiang nodded casually. The dagger was ordinary and too tight. He was not interested in it. What he was interested in was the jade: "What about the jade?" When he asked, he even showed the jade without extending his hand, which clearly shows his possessiveness about this thing. How strong it is.
"My subordinates can't read either, but it looks like it might be some important token."
Baijiang put the things in his arms, glanced at Zhao Gao and Zhao Zheng, and said: "You all go out, I want to ask questions." The clueless order confused everyone, but the captain was clever. , pulling his own people out. General Bai said gloomily to these careless people: "You can also find out the secrets of the army?"
After everyone was gone, Zhao Zheng moved back with difficulty, leaned on the wooden stake to borrow some strength, then looked at General Bai with a depressed look and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Baijiang lowered his head and looked at him arrogantly, sneered, raised his leg and stepped hard on Zhao Zheng's shoulder, then bent down and looked at him and asked: "Don't forget that you are a prisoner. How dare you act in front of me and seek death?"
