Chapter 177 Encirclement and Suppression
Su Yiqing picked up the bag and left without looking back.
Jing Gang walked for a while before she remembered that there were secret whistles set up by brothers at the foot of the mountain. She, a woman, was afraid that it was not easy to go down the mountain. She was about to chase her out and found someone to take her down the mountain. After walking a few steps, someone behind her smiled and said, "Where is the place where is the head of Jing who is so hurrying?"
Jing Gang turned around and saw that it was Zhang Mao, so he said impatiently: "It's not your business."
Zhang Mao said, "If you want to chase the girl who has just walked out, there is no need to worry about the head of the family, she can't leave."
When Jing Gang heard this, his eyes suddenly shot at Zhang Mao in a mess, took two steps forward, and said sternly: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Look at my mouth, I can say the wrong thing if I don't pay attention to it. I mean, she didn't want to leave at all. This is just a trick played by a woman. It's just a move that goes against her. Jing Tang should be familiar with this."
Jing Gang's face suddenly looked even more ugly. Yes, this trick has been used by him before, but he couldn't find him. He told him about his hardships and had no choice but to do so. When he was hesitating whether to help, he said righteously that day he would not implicate his brothers and so on, and asked him to take the initiative to help.
Could it be that Su Yiqing used this trick just now, but what if I say it, there is always something wrong. At least he has no intention of changing his mind and trying to keep it. After thinking about it, he sneered at Zhang Mao and said, "It seems that your sign will be smashed this time. If you don't say it, I don't want to chase it at all. I just want to notify the brothers at the foot of the mountain not to make things difficult for her."
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Is that so, do you dare to gamble with me?"
Jing Gang said: "What are you betting on?"
Zhang Mao said: "I bet that girl will come back. If I win by chance, I hope the head of the family will follow God's will."
Jing Gang did not prove that he would answer Zhang Mao’s question, but asked back: “What does this have to do with you? If God wants someone to succeed, the thigh you should hold is not me, why waste your lips and tongue on me?”
Zhang Maogao's unfathomable smile: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
"I'm not interested in gambling. If I lose, I will change it and implicate everyone. If you lose, what can you give me? You old guy will give me your life. I have to care about your food, clothing, burning and burying." Jing Gang sneered, and the fool would agree to such a bet.
Zhang Mao didn't get too entangled and left with a smile.
After this interruption, Jing Gang broke the mind of informing the brothers at the foot of the mountain, because he thought of Su Yiqing's ghostly light skills, and it was easy to avoid the guard post. He didn't need to be troubled at all, and he didn't want to get into trouble anymore.
I was feeling a little bored and was about to go for some wine. Hei Tan hurriedly came: "Brother Jing, General Zhao just looked for Miss Su, and I said Miss Su left with the bag. He rushed out quickly."
Jing Gang couldn't help but shook his head secretly, and the old guy really guessed it. The woman did retreat as a step forward, but the target of the trap was not him.
Jing Gang was extremely vigilant about this and must not be deceived by the sweet words of the two people, and he was confused and just like that.
However, Su Yiqing did not come back with Zhao Boyang.
Zhao Boyang came back alone and said goodbye to Jing Gang in front of him.
Jing Gang naturally hoped that he would leave early, and there was no special friendship between them. Just say it, Jing Gang tried hard to suppress his curiosity. He did not ask if he had chased Su Yiqing or what he planned to do in the future. Some things could not be asked, and if he asked, he would easily fall into other people's verbal traps. These royal relatives and nobles were too cunning.
Just as Zhao Boyang was about to leave, Hei Tan rushed in again and said, "Jing Dangjia, the foot of the mountain is surrounded by many officers and soldiers."
Jing Gang was shocked and said, "What's going on? Where are the officers and soldiers?"
Hei Tan said: "I don't know very well, but the leader looks like General Zhang of Yunzhou from a distance, and it seems that he is called Pang Jin. It's too far away, and I don't see clearly."
From Yunzhou, Jing Gang frowned. They had finally cooperated with the Yunzhou defenders. Both sides fought against the enemy together and had a short-term alliance. Although they were under Chen Kui's rule at that time, he was handling all the contact matters. They did not add any trouble to Yunzhou during this period. Now they sent people to encircle and suppress the enemy. Isn't it morally unreasonable?
Jing Gang then asked, "What's the reason they said?"
Hei Tan shook his head, "I just said that we are the one who harmed the other and asked us to surrender sooner."
Zhao Boyang interrupted, "I'm afraid the drunken man's intention is not to drink. Maybe Zhao has implicated everyone. I'm really coming for Zhao, so I'll go out and make it clear."
Jing Gang pondered for a while and said, "The news about General Zhao is extremely secretive. I don't think it's for the general. If I guess correctly, it's for Miss Su."
Miss Su, Zhao Boyang was puzzled: "She is just a woman, how can the labor army come?"
"Miss Su didn't tell the general about her relationship with the Yunzhou garrison?" Jing Gang asked with a frown.
"Zhang Qifeng wants to use her to instigate me? I heard her say it, but I have fought with Zhang Qifeng, so he wouldn't naively think that it would be possible with a woman." Zhao Boyang added after saying that, "He knows that I am not a person who ignores the overall situation for women."
Jing Gang said: "Apart from hoping to instigate the general, Miss Su didn't tell you what she did in Yunzhou?"
"What else did she do in Yunzhou?" Zhao Boyang really didn't know much.
Jing Gang said in a deep voice: "Zhang Qifeng can defend Yunzhou with his weak force. It was Miss Su who offered his plans at the last moment, digging tunnels, setting up ambush to launch street battles. Only in Yunzhou City could this Yunzhou City be preserved. After that, Zhang Qifeng's people kept watching Miss Su and refused to leave Yunzhou. If it weren't for General Zhao, she wouldn't let people know that she could do martial arts. She knew that King Ping was ill-behaved."
Zhao Boyang understood that as a general, he knew the importance of talent, especially such a person who could turn the world around. Perhaps Su Yiqing had just had a momentary inspiration, but he would rather kill the wrong one than let go. Military wizards should never fall into the hands of their opponents and could not be used by him, so he could only kill them. What's more, Su Yiqing is likely to know Zhang Qifeng's secret.
Although there have been many impeachment voices in the court, some words have been said from some people, and the effect is different. With Princess Su Yiqing's identity, the Su family is in trouble now. If Su Yiqing exposes Ping Wang's rebellion and makes meritorious efforts to protect the Su family, and with himself on the sidelines, it may be a different situation.
Hei Tan was so anxious that he was the one who was responsible for passing messages. He had no choice but to speak for big things. Today he walked along the way, and the situation below was very scary. Many old people said that they had never seen this scene in their lifetime. They surrounded a clerk and dispatched so many officers and soldiers.
After a while, another brother passed a message saying that several leaders were waiting in Juyitang.
Jing Gang frowned and told Hei Tan not to talk nonsense later. Then he clasped his fists at Zhao Boyang and left without saying anything.
As soon as Jing Gang left, Su Yiqing slipped in through the back door and said to Zhao Boyang: "Let's go quickly while they are in chaos."
Zhao Boyang said: "There is something wrong with this copycat. We will leave now. Isn't it too unrighteous?"
Su Yiqing said: "What else should I do? You can't watch them tie me up and send me out, right? I don't want to die yet."
After thinking about it, Zhao Boyang said, "Although there are many officers and soldiers, this copycat is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is not easy to attack."
"They have to be willing to defend themselves." Su Yiqing said with some disdain, "I don't want to challenge human nature. I'm sending a little woman down the mountain and fighting against the officers and soldiers is more cost-effective, you can measure it."
Zhao Boyang said seriously: "The Jing family is not such a person who ignores morality, Miss Su should not be so guessing."
"He has done nothing before. In short, I'm leaving now and there's nothing to do, so why take such a risk?" Su Yiqing didn't want to talk about Jing Gang's right and wrong behind his back, and told her about the idea of Jing Gang coming back to get the reward in order to save him. However, as the lessons of the past, she didn't believe that Jing Gang would take such a big risk for her.
Men and women have different ideas. Zhao Boyang thought for a while and said, "With your skills, even if you are surrounded by others, you can get out easily, and there is no need to rush for a moment."
"It is easy to hide open guns, but it is hard to prevent hidden arrows. They are all kinds of despicable means such as incense. If there is really something that makes me faint and I am packed with ropes and sent them out, it will be useless even if I can fly." Su Yiqing thought about it and said, "Besides, I can't help them even if I stay. I have already said I'm leaving. Now I think I haven't come back, I don't know anything, and it doesn't go against morality."
Zhao Boyang knew that she had suffered a lot and had been betrayed by someone. Maybe she had already felt heartbroken. What she said made sense. This was not his military camp. He didn't know what path these bandits would choose in the end, so he said, "Well, you go down the mountain first and find a place to hide."
"What about you, don't go with me." Su Yiqing asked, "You just said you have changed your mind and wanted to...you have regretted it again now?"
Zhao Boyang said with a serious expression: "A real man does something and does not do anything. The people in this village are very good to me. I cannot leave at this time. I decided to stay and help them resist foreign enemies. If God agrees with my decision, I will pass the test safely. If it is not, it is difficult for Zhao to accomplish great things. The girl will take care of herself in the future."
Zhao Boyang spoke with great righteousness, and Su Yiqing suddenly felt a little ashamed. Many times she only thought of herself, never thought of others, and only told the truth, afraid of implicating this and that, and caring about gains and losses. Perhaps this is also the reason why she has come to this point.
Because she has limited efforts to others and requires equal rewards from others. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
