"Then the Duke of Zhenguo doesn't have to speak." Liao Zhongping shook his head and said, "Duke of Zhenguo also said that you and I have been in love for several years, so you should know what Liao is."

Wu Zheng sighed: "But I think General Liao should be a sensible person. The current situation should be a joint cooperation..."

Liao Zhongping interrupted: "Forgive me, Duke Zhenguo, I understand the truth... But Liao thought that the reason why Duke Zhenguo wanted to recruit me was because he was afraid of Liao's loyalty? Liao believed that there was nothing else to be desired in this life except the word "loyalty". But if I promised Duke Zhenguo, Duke Zhenguo would probably be uneasy."

Wu Zheng also understood the meaning of Liao Zhongping's words.

It is really not easy for a person to stick to loyalty.

Loyalty cannot be desecrated!

If there is a betrayal, it will be difficult to eliminate the second and third time.

This is like a woman. After the first time, it seems like there is no line of defense.

If Liao Zhongping really agreed to Wu Zheng and chose to betray the emperor, then he would probably not be the Liao Zhongping that Wu Zheng wanted.

This is an opposition and contradiction that left Wu Zheng helpless.

Wu Zheng sighed, "Okay, I don't force anyone to do anything. But it's not too late to read the emperor's secret decree before you decide."

As he said that, he handed the secret decree brought by Qian Sule to Liao Zhongping.

Liao Zhongping took it in surprise. When he saw it, his face turned pale so much that no one looked.

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "This is the emperor you chose to be loyal to. He shirked all the responsibility of your order to you, saying that the order was clear to you to reinforce Shaoxing Prefecture, but you refused to resist the order and had ulterior motives. You wanted to frame me in a dangerous place. In the will, I asked me to capture you and let me detain you... General Liao, don't you understand that you are the worthless pawn that has been discarded by him?"

Liao Zhongping's face twitched, and he smiled bitterly: "If the king wants his minister to die, his minister has to die. This is my fate. If the Duke of Zhenguo thinks that you and I still have some friendship, please treat Liao's family well and give them food and clothing... Liao is grateful to him in the nine springs!"

Wu Zheng was speechless and stared at Liao Zhongping for a long time. Wu Zheng stood up, "I won't kill you, you... go back! I just hope that he can tolerate you!"

Liao Zhongping froze immediately when he heard this, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Although he was killed by Wu Zheng, he was extremely wronged, at least it means that he was loyal, so his family could receive additional pensions and rewards.

When Wu Zheng was released back, it means that Wu Zheng had a friendship with him, and even he deliberately gave up the command of the Five Thousand Kings Guards. How could the emperor trust him and allow him?

He suddenly knelt down and hissed, begging, "Please kill Liao!"

Wu Zheng said angrily: "I want to kill you, what are you talking about?"

"If Duke Zhenguo kills me, I can still gain the reputation of a loyal minister. But if I go back like this, I will definitely not be able to escape the reputation of a traitor. I will die a little and will also affect my family... I hope Duke Zhenguo will fulfill it!"

"Fuck!" Wu Zheng cursed angrily, "Loyalty is a virtue. But I don't understand. What you are flowing with is the blood of the Han people. Tens of millions of compatriots in the world are in the enslavement, massacre, and dire straits of the Tartars. You turn a blind eye to it? You know the purpose of the emperor sending you, but for the so-called loyalty in your heart, you can be numb? Do you know that once I really die in Pinggang Mountain, the Qing army will occupy Shaoxing and Jinhua prefectures. Once these two prefectures are lost, Yanzhou will not be protected. Yanzhou will not be protected. Hangzhou prefecture will face east-west siege. Do you really think that with your 5,000 people and the only 7,000 remaining Hangzhou prefecture can block the Qing army on the south bank of the Qiantang River? A mere ten thousand people can defend against the bank of the Thousand Miles of River? It's a dream!"

"Liao Zhongping, I respect you as a loyal and righteous person, but this does not mean that your loyal and righteous person is correct. A man who killed a pig in Shaoxing Prefecture can still raise his arms and shout and gather thousands and eight hundred people to recover Shaoxing Prefecture. Although it was almost gone in the end, this battle demonstrated the blood of the Han people and made the Tartars in the city frightened... And you, the commander of the third-rank Jingwei, are not as good as a butcher?"

"Get out! I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. I'm just thinking about the friendship between you and I have shared the Tartars in the Three Realms. Go back and die with your so-called loyalty. I want to see how you can face those compatriots who died in vain and your ancestors."

Wu Zheng turned around and left.

This is a deafness.

Liao Zhongping's face turned pale and cold sweat was like rain.

When Wu Zheng stepped out of the door, Liao Zhongping's voice came from behind, "Please ask Duke Zhenguo... to stay."

Wu Zheng took a deep breath, withdrew his stepping foot, and slowly turned around to look at Liao Zhongping.

Liao Zhongping said: "Do you dare to ask the Duke of Zhenguo, do you have to fight the Northern Expedition?"

Wu Zheng replied in a deep voice: "Just! The four guards under my command are known as the Northern Expedition Army, how can we not fight the Northern Expedition?"

"The Duke of Zhenguo misunderstood. I mean Yingtian Prefecture."

Wu Zheng knew that at this time, Liao Zhongping could not have any thoughts, so he replied firmly: "Of course! But that's not called the Northern Expedition, to be precise, it's called the Northward Expedition!"

Liao Zhongping asked bitterly and difficultly: "When you stretch out your butcher knife to your own people, isn't there any hint of unbearableness in your heart?"

"What can't you bear?" Wu Zheng replied more firmly, "If millions of Han people can survive well, I will never mind killing anyone in the imperial city."

Liao Zhongping's face twitched violently, and his body trembled violently.

Wu Zheng did not urge him this time, but looked at Liao Zhongping quietly.

After half a stick of incense, Liao Zhongping finally made a choice. He pushed the golden mountain and turned his knees to kneel in front of Wu Zheng, and worshiped him with great gifts: "Liao Zhongping is willing to follow his lord and be loyal to his lord!"

Wu Zheng let out a long sigh and said, "I don't want to force you, although I really want to recruit you. Have you really made a decision?"

Liao Zhongping raised his head, looked at Wu Zheng's eyes firmly, and bowed: "Liao hopes to die on the battlefield of the Anti-Qing Dynasty, rather than die in the civil war between the north and the south."

Wu Zheng stepped forward and helped Liao Zhongping up and said, "One plus one is definitely better than one minus one, I understand! Let's say that, as long as he doesn't extend his butcher knife to me, I am willing to fight against the Qing Dynasty together with him under the same banner of the Ming Dynasty."

Liao Zhongping said excitedly: "The lord is wise. In this way, Liao will feel relieved. After today, his subordinates will follow the lord and let him drive..."

"No." Wu Zheng interrupted simply, "You can't be by my side."

When Liao Zhongping heard this, his face suddenly became bitter. The surrendered generals on the way were really unable to win the trust of others!

Wu Zheng continued: "You have to go back."

Liao Zhongping was stunned, then suddenly realized, and he asked miserably: "Does the lord want Liao to go to the capital to be undercover?"

"yes."

"My lord or is he thinking about going north?"
