Chapter 49 Cooperation
Late at night, Tang Ning, Lin Wei, Xiaoshi and Fang La, also returned to the Zhenjiang military camp.
It's just one more person, and that is Pei Xiantong.
After Tang Ning discovered Pei Xiantong's bad behavior, he wanted to escape from this place for a while. But Pei Xiantong chased after him and opened the door to invite Tang Ning in for a cup of tea.
Tang Ning was very restrained, but he still did not refuse under Pei Xiantong's kind invitation.
After going in and having a cup of tea, he said come with me.
Pei Xiantong didn't hesitate for a moment, took out the luggage she had prepared for an unknown amount of time from the cabinet, then picked up the sword and left with Tang Ning.
Before leaving, Tang Ning and Pei Xiantong also went to see He Xiangu. He Xiangu was very relieved and told Tang Ning to take care of her favorite apprentice.
For Pei Xiantong, He Xiangu is like a mother in her heart. Many Taoist priests in the Yin Ling Temple, both men and women, have this idea.
Most of the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple are orphans. There are very few elders in the family who send their children to Taoist temples to learn art.
Even if there were, He Xiangu was unwilling to accept it. What the reason, Downing did not know. However, Tang Ning guessed that He Xiangu may not want to see the scene of family separation.
Pei Xiantong cried like a rabbit with his two eyes, was held by Tang Ning, and left the Taoist temple step by step.
It is not only her who is about to leave the Taoist Temple, but also the senior sister of the Yinling Temple.
It's just that the senior sister wants to accompany He Xiangu more, so Qi Fu discussed with Tang Ningyi and decided to wait for the end of this battle to conquer Jiaozhi, and on the way back, he would take another trip to Chuzhou to pick up the senior sister.
Back in the camp, Pei Xiantong's mood was very low. Tang Ning can understand, it is useless to persuade at this time, it is better to let her recover slowly.
After helping Pei Xiantong lay out the futon, Tang Ning talked to Pei Xiantong for a while. Seeing that Pei Xiantong was not in the mood to respond to him, Tang Ning sighed. Remembering the two assassins he had caught during the day today, he asked Pei Xiantong to go to bed early, and he left the big tent to find Sun He.
Together with Lin Wei, they went straight to the big tent occupied by Wu Desi, and Sun He's interrogation work was coming to an end.
Another clerk pulled out the silver needles on Qiao Chu's toes and fingers, and then disinfected them with the alcohol specially provided by the Tang family.
The pain was intense, but Qiao Chu gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. Maybe it's not that she doesn't want to shout, but because she doesn't have the strength to shout.
"Brother Sun, what did you ask?"
Sun He shook his head and said, "This woman's mouth is very hard, her companions have already done everything, but she didn't say anything." After that, I wanted to use gibberish to confuse the public, and after I poked it, I didn't say a word.
It seems that I can't ask anything today, so let's wait until tomorrow. We have time, and we can afford to spend it with her. ”
Tang Ning nodded when he heard this, and then walked to Qiao Chu with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Chu raised his head and looked at Tang Ning hard, opened his mouth, and said angrily: "Finally...... I'm finally talking to you, Lord Tang......"
Tang Ning turned a deaf ear and walked around Qiao Chu. Suddenly came to Qiao Chu's back, took out a dagger from his waist, and carefully cut off part of Qiao Chu's clothes.
Looking at the pear blossom tattooed on Qiao Chu's back, Tang Ning sighed.
Qi Xianyu also has exactly the same tattoo on her back, and this tattoo alone is enough to explain her origin.
A piece of the clothes on Qiao Chu's back was cut off, and the whole dress became loose, and she could even see her red belly pocket exposed in the front.
However, Qiao Chu was not embarrassed at all, and instead asked, "Lord Tang...... Good...... Is it good-looking? ”
"It's not pretty." Tang Ning shook his head: "Whenever I see this tattoo, I will think of what the White Lotus Society did to my wife. In my heart, there will be irrepressible anger.
If it weren't for my wife persuading me not to oppose the White Lotus Society, I would have killed all of you demons sooner or later. ”
"Worthy of ...... worthy of her man...... I kind of understand it now...... Why did she choose you......"
Tang Ning went around again, walked in front of Qiao Chu, stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Chu's loose clothes up, blocking her exposed belly pocket, and then sighed and said: "There are only a handful of damned people, you are all poor people."
You and my wife should know each other, right? She was abducted by the people of the White Lotus Society since she was a child, and later she was kept in the dark, so she worked for the White Lotus Society. When she knew the truth, she immediately left the White Lotus Society.
Why did you join the White Lotus Society? ”
"My parents...... It's all in their hands...... And my brother...... If I resist...... They're going to die......"
Tang Ning's words seemed to defeat Qiao Chu's last insistence. When he was treated by Sun He with brutal methods, Qiao Chu didn't shed tears. Now, however, she is in tears.
"Got it." Tang Ning nodded: "Sure enough, as I expected, the White Lotus Society's means of controlling its subordinates are only this kind of clumsiness. ”
Qiao Chu looked at Tang Ning with tears in his eyes and said, "You kill me...... I can't really say anything ......."
"I understand, I understand." Tang Ning said softly, and then he pointed to Sun He, who looked like a ghost behind him, and said, "This person, do you know what he came from?"
Have you heard of it? However, the scope of responsibility of the Imperial City Division is limited to Kaifeng Prefecture. He is Wu Desi's, and Wu Desi is in charge of the affairs of the whole world.
Since the White Lotus Society has sent you to assassinate me, then it is time to be on the list of Wu Desi's purge.
I'm not telling you this to make you despair. Rather, there is a great opportunity for you
In front of you, if you are willing to cooperate, with the ability of Wu Desi, you will definitely be able to transfer your family from the White Lotus Society's surveillance unconsciously.
When you're free, no matter what you want to do, no one cares about you. ”
Tang Ning said as he went to the back to get the key and threw it to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei immediately understood that Tang Ning wanted to untie this woman by himself.
So he stepped forward to unlock the locks one by one, but Qiao Chu was about to fall to the ground because of his weakness.
Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and fished Qiao Chu into his arms. And Qiao Chu, who was afraid of falling, also clutched the clothes on Lin Wei's chest.
Lin Wei smelled the aroma mixed with the smell of blood, which made his heart, which had been silent for a long time, start beating for no reason.
But Qiao Chu obviously didn't notice this, she looked at Tang Ning nervously and excitedly and said, "What did you say...... It's all true? ”
"Do I have to lie to you?" Tang Ning smiled: "And you and my wife are old acquaintances, my wife has been very unhappy since she hit Tokyo City and couldn't do what she wanted to do."
If you, an old friend you haven't seen in years, can catch up with her, I think she'll be happy too. ”
"But......" Qiao Chu slumped again after a short period of excitement. The head that had just been raised hung down again.
Lin Wei felt that this posture was a little uncomfortable, so he simply copied Qiao Chu horizontally.
"But...... How can I trust you...... It's not something you can say you can. After all, my family's lives are in their hands, and if they are not careful, my family will ......"
"You can rest assured of that." Tang Ning laughed: "I'm not a person who is in a hurry, and in the same way, neither is this Lord Sun."
No one will ask you anything until your family is out of danger. You just have to stay in the army and don't wreak havoc.
Of course, if you're in a good mood and want to do something for us, we're welcome. If you can't say anything, you can wait until you meet your family and tell us, so it's okay. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Ning turned his head to look at Sun He and said, "Did you say yes, Brother Sun!" ”
Sun He was confused in his heart, but he still nodded very cooperatively: "For this matter, our Wu Desi has full confidence. ”
"Well, can you rest assured?"
Qiao Chu's eyes were full of helplessness, and her expression seemed to be struggling violently in her heart. Lin Wei kept looking down at her, and suddenly Qiao Chu's helpless gaze flickered, and he looked at him all the time.
Knock knock......
Lin Wei hurriedly looked away, and it didn't take long for Qiao Chu to let out a long breath and said, "That...... I'll just ask a few adults......"
