Chapter 1622: Not just you
"Come on, Lord Yang, I'll give you a glass." Zhu Ci was already drinking a little high, his face was flushed, but he was still diligently carrying the wine pot and filling Yang Chuang's cup. Although Yang Chuang is a civil servant and Zhu Ci is a military general, when it comes to drinking, Yang Chuang is obviously better.
Yang Chuang smiled and covered the wine glass with his hands, "General Zhu, you have drunk too much. You are afraid you will have to patrol the city after a while. Now the enemy is in front of you. If the soldiers below see your appearance, it will be a bit unbeautiful. It will be even worse when you reach His Majesty's ears."
"Is it useless to patrol or not?" Zhu Ci sneered, "The morale has been so low now, Lord Yang, you may not know. A few days ago, Feng Dao returned from a crushing defeat. He was the 30,000 troops who entered the city from my south gate. There were 10,000 troops of Fire Phoenix. How many have they returned? Less than one third! In just one day, 30,000 people lost 20,000 people. Tell me, how much morale can my subordinates have when they see Feng Dao and the others?"
"Feng Dao is incompetent to ruin the country!" Yang Chuang sighed, letting go of his hand covering the wine glass, let Zhu Ci fill it up, picked up the cup, drank it all in one go, looking worried about the country and the people.
"Feng Dao is a veteran." Zhu Ci shook his head and said, "To this day, it is difficult to return. Lord Yang, either I am discouraged or the rebirth of the emperor, it is probably difficult to save the fate of the destruction of the country. We are just struggling to death."
"Mr. Zhu, be careful!" Yang Chuang said softly.
"Mr. Yang is not an outsider, so naturally he will not betray me." Zhu Ci didn't care. "My family is all saved by Lord Yang. You are the savior of my family. What can I trust you? Lord. Lord. You escaped from Jinzhou and experienced the Xiangzhou War. What is the situation of the Ming army? It is better to know more than me. Just tell me, what hope do we have?"
Yang Chuang sighed: "To be honest with General Zhu, in my opinion, there is indeed no hope. Nandaying and Yanglingyi have been lost. Next, Beidaying and Dinglingyi can last for a few more days to go to the capital. Now it is like a big girl, standing in front of a fierce man with stripped off. What else can you do? His Majesty the Emperor...ah..."
"What else will the Emperor do besides killing people and establishing authority?" Zhu Ci said dissatisfiedly: "When the enemy is in front of him, shouldn't we try our best to unite people to fight against foreign enemies? Our Emperor is killing and killing. If you have any dissatisfaction, you will be killed. Everyone will be killed and everyone will be scared. To be honest, Lord Yang, you said, as soon as I go to court, whenever I go to court, I will be trembling, afraid that I will have the will to go to court and go home without a fate. Feng Dao has been fighting for the country for many years, and was already retired at home. When the country is in danger, he came out of the mountain to command soldiers again in his sixties. He was defeated in one battle and was actually thirty rods from the emperor outside the hall. Hehe, I picked up my life from the battlefield, but now I am lying on the bed and dying. I don't know how many days we can last. Feng Dao is still like this, what are we?"
Yang Chuang nodded repeatedly, "General Zhu said that if you are not safe in the morning, you will be unable to sleep or eat."
Zhu Ci played with the wine glass, "Mr. Yang, tell me, are we just sitting there waiting for death?"
Yang Chuang was shocked, "General Zhu, what do you mean by saying that?"
Zhu Ci paused the wine glass, "Mr. Yang is the savior of my family, so I don't go around in circles. I think Mr. Yang won't betray me, I don't want to do it anymore."
"General Zhu wants to leave with the crown, I'm afraid this is unrealistic, right?" Yang Chuang shook his head and said.
"Go away?" Zhu Ci sneered: "I'm afraid that I'll do this last moment, and my head will be outside the Meridian Gate the next moment. Lord Yang, tell you the truth, I have a friend of life and death, and I am from the Xie family."
"Xie?"
"Yes, when I was drinking with me a few days ago, it was vaguely revealed in my words that Xie was colluding with the Ming army." Zhu Ci lowered his voice.
"God!" Yang Chuang said in surprise: "Xie's power in the capital is quite strong."
"I don't believe that the other families will remain honest. In this situation, everyone is thinking of ways to find a way out for themselves." Zhu Ci said. "So, I think we should also find some way out for ourselves."
"Are you connected with them?" Yang Chuang asked in surprise.
"How dare you disclose such a thing casually? If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the extermination of the clan." Zhu Ci shook his head and said, "After thinking about it, only Lord Yang can believe it."
"You trust me, don't forget, I am the descendant." Yang Chuang smiled bitterly.
Zhu Ci said with a whisper: "You, the clan of the clan, have turned a few turns, so what, at that time, not only will this identity not help you, but will also harm you. Lord Yang, you saved the lives of my family, and I am willing to plan a big deal with you. I am in charge of the South Gate and still have 10,000 soldiers in my hand. When the Ming army attacks, you will be a great achievement. If you don't ask for much reward from the Ming people, at least you can make us rich and prosperous in the future."
Yang Chuang was stunned for a while. He was still planning how to pull Zhu Ci into the water. He didn't expect the other party to turn around and wanted to pull himself into the water.
"Mr. Yang, Lord. Yang?" Zhu Ci saw Yang Chuang who was stunned and silent, and called out a few times before he woke the other party up from his trance.
Yang Chuang coughed lightly, calming himself down: "General Zhu, what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to disturb anyone else in this matter. Isn't Lord Yang holding those Ming military doctors now? I want to ask Lord Yang to bring one of them to me quietly, go out of the city from my south gate, and bring our wishes to Ming people. I have no other way. After thinking about it, only Lord Yang has such a line." Zhu Ci whispered.
"All the officers in your hands are willing to follow you?" Yang Chuang asked.
"Of course, there are obedient people, and there are disobedient people. But Lord Yang, don't forget that it is time for war, and it is not too easy to deal with such people." Zhu Ci smiled and said, "Besides, Lord Yang's relative Yang's tribe, Yang Miao, won't he not even listen to Lord Yang's words, right?"
"I understand. Can I let me think about this matter again?" Yang Chuang thought for a moment and said.
"Mr. Yang, I'm not waiting for time."
"Don't worry, I'll give you a reply tomorrow." Yang Chuang looked at Zhu Ci and said, "You won't worry that I will betray you and silence me, right?"
"What is Mr. Yang saying?" Zhu Ci smiled and took out a pill from his arms. "As long as Lord Yang takes this pill, I will not be worried at all."
"General Zhu!" Yang Chuang changed color.
"Mr. Yang, don't blame me. After all, this is related to the lives of my whole family. You don't want them to be killed by the emperor just now after being rescued by you, right? As long as Lord Yang and I have a big deal, there is no problem with the antidote." Zhu Ci still laughed so hard that people and animals were harmless, but Yang Chuang felt a cold on his back. Looking at Zhu Ci's appearance, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave this door today.
He picked up the pills, smiled bitterly and swallowed them.
"Okay, I promise you that after I go back, I will send you such a person." Yang Chuang said.
"Mr. Yang is so happy." Zhu Ci said happily.
When Yang Chuang returned home, he felt as if he had eaten a dead mouse. Is this a thing called? At first he doubted whether Zhu Ci was testing him, but when he saw the pill, he understood that this guy was here to be the real one. People are now scattered in the capital. I don’t know how many people like Zhu Ci are, of course, including himself.
"Sir, what should I do now?" He looked at the man sitting quietly in the shadow in the study, "I was forced to take poison. If I don't have any good luck, I will die!"
The man in the shadow came over, turned on Yang Chuang's eyelids and looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "I was already thinking about Zhu Ci, but I didn't expect that he would come over himself. This is an unexpected surprise. Lord Yang doesn't have to worry about this poison. In front of us, there are really not many poisons that cannot be cured in this world."
"Really?" Yang Chuang was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true." The man shrugged, "But I really have to think about this matter carefully. Judging from what Zhu Ci meant, several major families also took action. It seems that this is another line. I don't know. It's not a good thing to do each other without knowing each other. It seems that I have to report it upwards. It's time to put all the lines together and twist them into a rope."
"So there are many people besides me?" Yang Chuang was a little shocked.
"Of course, but we are not on the same line, and only the big guys above can take the overall situation. But now several lines have begun to be connected." The man smiled, "It's almost time, so that it won't be beautiful if the time makes some misunderstandings."
Yang Chuang nodded repeatedly: "If I had known about these situations earlier, I wouldn't have been forced to take poison."
Seeing his sighing look, the man smiled and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out three pills of medicine and said, "Take one pill every day for three days, and the poison will be relieved by itself. You promise Zhu Ci first and send the person over. I will report to the upper house to see when I can gather everyone together to plan and attack the capital. It is already urgent for Meijie."
When he went to the inner city of the capital, Lei Wei walked into his study with a tired look on his face. He just sat down but jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on. In the corner of the study, a woman was sitting there, looking through a file.
"Sir!" Lei Wei whispered: "You are here."
Yinggu nodded, "The things are almost done, right?"
"Yes, according to the requirements of the adults, the people you sent have been placed in various important departments of the inner guard. Now the inner guard can be said to belong to us completely." Lei Wei said.
