Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 181 True Victory

No one expected the lieutenant general's attack.

After all, Chen Hu committed suicide before, and he didn't say who was the mastermind behind it, and no one regarded the lieutenant as an object of suspicion.

So his shot at this moment was sudden enough.

There was even a hint of complacency on the lieutenant's face.

He felt that the timing of his choice was very good. If he did it later, Qin Zheng would be on guard against him, and the difficulty would be doubled.

As for what happens after Qin Zheng is killed in public, the lieutenant general doesn't care, because as long as Qin Zheng dies, someone in the army will naturally save his life.

He was very accurate in grasping people's thoughts, even Qin Zheng didn't expect that the other party would attack at the moment when the suspicion was temporarily cleared.

In fact, the order he received was to wait until he went to the Northwest before attacking Qin Zheng, and then there would be more room for manipulation.

But today's ambush prevented by the foreign race not only did not cause Qin Zheng to lose too much prestige of the manpower, but even made his prestige deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Qin Zheng couldn't continue on. Several people in the army who had other thoughts were thinking this way at the moment, and the lieutenant general had the best chance of making a move now.

It's just that the deputy general underestimated. First, he didn't expect Xie Jinhua to be so vigilant, and he had already pulled Qin Zheng the moment his hand moved, and second, he didn't expect Qin Zheng's skill.

The moment Qin Zheng followed Xie Jinhua's hand and turned his body sideways, the silver needle that the lieutenant general was confident in was caught between Qin Zheng's fingers, just like when he caught the giant ax of the alien race just now and saved the lieutenant general's life. Life is generally the same action.

The silver needle was also returned by Qin Zheng, and returned to the deputy general.

There was a rattling sound in his throat, and the life-threatening silver needle was stuck right in his throat. The silver needle was stained with poison that could seal his throat when the needle tip pierced his skin. His body was completely numb and unable to move.

He wanted to point at someone, but he couldn't move a finger at all.

"Crack!" With a sound, the lieutenant fell to the ground.

Two soldiers rushed to the lieutenant general: "He's dead."

The two soldiers looked at the small silver needle on the neck of the general with fear in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, even if you suspect Vice-General Wang, you can't kill him directly, not to mention that Vice-General Wang has been cleared of suspicion just now."

A voice suddenly appeared, it was a voice from a group of soldiers.

"That's right, Prince of the County, even if you are the chief general sent by His Majesty, and you are a descendant of the royal family, you can't kill the generals of the army for no reason. The Deputy General Wang has made no credit or hard work in the army over the years. You can't rely on the fact that you have worked hard, Prince of the County." Identity is too deceiving!"

Another voice also came from the other side.

Both voices were hidden among the numerous soldiers, and the voices were also a little erratic. It was because the speakers were constantly moving, preventing Qin Zheng from finding their tracks.

Many soldiers also couldn't help showing a little doubt and fear towards Qin Zheng.

Xi Yuan worships heroes and people who can defeat the enemy on the battlefield, especially Qin Zheng who leads them to victory despite the disparity between the enemy and ourselves.

But there is one thing that the soldiers are most afraid of. In the army, what everyone fears most is not the impact and killing from the enemy's front.

What I hate and fear the most is the knives from my comrades behind me.

The silver needle shot by the lieutenant at Qin Zheng was too small and sudden, and no one saw it except for a few with good eyes. In the eyes of everyone, Qin Zheng killed the lieutenant Wang for no reason and was brutal.

It is clearly the battlefield after the victory, but at this moment there is a stagnant atmosphere spreading.

Xie Jinhua's hand was still holding Qin Zheng's. Facing such a situation, she didn't move or speak.

She believed that Qin Zheng would not have killed the Vice-General Wang impulsively, and he must have his own ideas.

And this is not a blind belief, because Xie Jinhua discovered the movement of Qin Zheng's other hand.

A few actions that seem to be inadvertent, but in fact, have meaning.

Xie Jinhua noticed a slight change in the voices of those who spoke ill of Qin Zheng and provoked the morale of the army.

Even the companions of those people didn't notice this, but Xie Jinhua did.

As if Qin Zheng sensed Xie Jinhua's observing gaze, the corners of his lips hooked slightly invisible.

Holding Xie Jinhua's palm behind his back, he was confirming her guess.

He really has a plan in mind.

If you don't make a move now, when will you wait?

What's more, Xie Jinhua is by his side now, so he has nothing to worry about.

Qin Zheng never thought of waiting until he was in the Northwest Army to guard against spies among the group of people he brought.

The longer the delay, the greater the threat of spies infiltrating the army.

Qin Zheng has no idea of ​​taking a long line to catch big fish. The more he wants, the more he will lose in the end.

The 800 people following him are the direct descendants that he intends to subdue completely.

After all, they are the elites who are sent to the hand, given by God, if you don't take them, you will be devoured by them. "

At this moment, Qin Zheng stood there, he seemed to have no way to explain it, let those spies, those tumors hidden in the soldiers of the Western Yuan Dynasty continue to slander him and stir up the emotions of the soldiers.

When the atmosphere became more and more tense, as if the taut bowstring was about to break accidentally, Qin Zheng said: "Do it!"

As soon as the order was issued, it was like thunder shaking, humming and cursing came from all directions in the army, and there were figures of people trying to escape.

But it was simply too late.

Because behind everyone, they have already unknowingly caught up with Qin Zheng's real confidant.

He had guards by his side, never to protect himself.

Before anyone else noticed, half of Qin Zheng's guards had quietly blended into the soldiers.

Just now, Qin Zheng was using gestures to instruct the guards among the soldiers who were hiding and where those shouters were.

A figure was picked out by the guards.

"Didn't you say that I have no evidence that Vice General Wang betrayed us and became a spy?"

Qin Zheng walked up to those men dressed as gagged soldiers, and chuckled lightly: "I'll show you the evidence now."

"Bring it up."

"I, I am a fellow villager of Chen Huzi. I heard with my own ears that Vice General Wang threatened Chen Huzi, saying that he would help him deliver the news. Otherwise, his wife and children would be killed. Chen Huzi didn't believe Vice General Wang, so he hid it secretly. Something belonging to Vice-General Wang is in his left chest pocket! He told me that if necessary, I would help him expose Vice-General Wang."

A soldier was led out and said this to everyone.

When it is necessary, it is when Vice General Wang is about to touch Chen Huzi's wife and children, or when Vice General Wang is arrested and killed.

That Chen Huzi is quite a character.

Xie Jinhua couldn't help thinking.

There is a brass tube in Chen Huzi's inner pocket on the left side of his chest. Inside the brass tube is a piece of paper with a line written on it.

It said the amount of luggage and food that Qin Zheng and the others were carrying, and there was a small red stamp at the bottom of the note.

"This is, this is the seal of Vice-General Wang."

Someone pointed to the lower left corner of the note and couldn't help shouting.

The handwriting on the note could be disguised, it wasn't Vice Admiral Wang's handwriting, just like the note in the brass pipe that Qin Zheng threw out to lead the way earlier, there was no way to determine who was the spy.

But the seal is different, it is a small seal that only lieutenant generals or generals of higher ranks have, and it will not be easily obtained by others.

But now, this piece of paper, which apparently informed the foreign soldiers, contained the seal of Vice-General Wang, which was more credible than anyone else's testimony.

The two soldiers beside Deputy General Wang searched for a chance to find a seal from his clothes, which was exactly the same as the seal on the note.

For a moment, everyone looked at the corpse of Deputy General Wang on the ground, and there was no more grief, no pain, no anger.

Even most people's eyes were stained with resentment.

In that battle just now, if it wasn't for Qin Zheng, they faced an enemy twice as large as themselves, and I'm afraid they would have to explain most of it here today.

"Chen Huzi finally got an order from Deputy General Wang to put medicine in the soup that everyone drank, the medicine that can make people have diarrhea, but he couldn't bear it and didn't do it."

The soldier who came out to correct him spoke again.

As he spoke, he took out a pack of medicinal powder from his waist, "This is the medicinal powder that Deputy General Wang gave him. If you look around with this medicinal powder, you may be able to find someone to make it. Chen Huzi said that it should be in the Vice-General Wang gave the things to him the day before the desert."

"Your Majesty, Chen Huzi was just forced to do nothing. It's all the fault of these villains. He already knew how to repent, so he told me so many things. I beg the Lord of the County to show mercy. The crime is not as serious as his family, so let Chen Huzi's wife and children be spared."

The soldier kowtowed.

"I have no intention of harming my wife and children."

One sentence from Qin Zheng made the pleading soldier heave a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you are wise."

Those who had their mouths covered got their mouths free, scolding Qin Zheng angrily, talking about Qin Zheng's framing of Zhongliang, talking about his wolf ambition, saying that he was playing games with foreigners, and they had already colluded with each other.

It's a pity that no one believes what they said at this moment.

The soldiers present were full of resentment towards Vice General Wang and the dozen or so arrested rumormongers.

As Qin Zheng thought, the remaining 1000 or so soldiers have completely become his confidantes at this moment. Even if someone pours dirty water on his head in the future, these people will no longer believe in the slightest. "

This is the real victory.

-

"Sister, you just saved my life again."

Qin Zheng glanced at Xie Jinhua, and she changed a new face, even though she couldn't bear the face of a strange man on the person she liked, but every time Xie Jinhua appeared in front of Qin Zheng, he You can recognize her without hesitation.

This made Xie Jinhua not know whether to be depressed or happy.

"This time it doesn't count, don't say you didn't plan ahead."

Xie Jinhua snorted, looking not in a high mood.

Qin Zheng shook the other party's hand, and moved his fingers on Xie Jinhua's palm, with some ambiguity: "I have a plan in advance, and my sister must care about me, so my plan can be successful."

Qin Zheng smiled flatteringly.

The last goal of today is to force Xie Jinhua to stand up ahead of schedule.

If you go further down, you will go to the northwest. At that time, it will be even more difficult to find Xie Jinhua again.

And the danger Xie Jinhua encountered was definitely not at the level it is now.

"You'll be fine."

Looking at Qin Zheng's smiling face, Xie Jinhua couldn't help but smile too.

"Who are those people?"

After she finished laughing, she asked about business.

"The person who is not my father is the person of other princes, princes and grandchildren."

Qin Zheng said indifferently.

"The position I am going to get now is still very popular."

"That's really stupid, to send an idiot like Deputy General Wang to act."

Xie Jin let out a sigh.

Qin Zheng clenched Xie Jinhua's hand, hesitating for a moment: "His every move is always under my eyes, and those evidences were concocted by me, and the soldier who corrected him is mine."

It wasn't the foreign race that he colluded with, but it was Qin Zheng who let it go, and counted all the people from several parties step by step.

He was worried that Xie Jinhua would say that he was plotting.

But let Qin Zheng tell lies to deceive Xie Jinhua, he can't do it.

It is not a matter of her life or death, Qin Zheng will not and does not want to lie to her.

"No wonder."

The curvature of Xie Jinhua's lips is very real.

Qin Zheng is still her Ah Zheng.

That's good.
