Zeng Fan returned to Jiangzuo Prison with his thoughts, Qi Xianyu had just changed Tang Ning's medicine, and Liu Ling came again.

Regarding Tang Ning's injury, Liu Ling didn't say a word. It seems that this guy also knows a little bit of the inside story, he only said to let Tang Ning get dressed and go into the palace with him to see Zhao Xu.

The last time someone said that, it turned out that Downing was kidnapped. This time, Zhao Xu probably took Tang Ning's feelings into account, so he specially sent Liu Ling to find him.

After putting on his clothes, Tang Ning entered the palace with Liu Ling.

"Brother Liu, do you know what the official family is looking for me?" On the way, Tang Ning asked Liu Ling in a whisper.

Liu Ling shook his head and said, "I know, but I can't tell you." However, I can still give you a little reminder that the official family is looking for you to talk to you about things that I wanted to talk to you about a long time ago.

Before the kidnapping came out, on the one hand, it was because the official family had a lot of affairs, and on the other hand, it was also the official family who was fighting for some power for you.

But after the news of your abduction came out, the officials realized that continuing to keep you in Tokyo would only make you more and more dangerous.

So after this conversation is over, the official family should not see you again. And the day you left for duty is not a few days.

I've told you everything I can say, but don't say that I'm not righteous enough, brother. Wait a while to meet the official family, you can do it yourself. ”

When the two said this, they had already entered the palace and arrived at the door of the imperial study.

This place is completely different from Zhao Xu's main hall for handling official business, and after the eunuch reports, Tang Ning felt very narrow as soon as he entered.

It is like a mud house in the countryside in later generations, when you enter the door, you turn a corner and there is a kang, opposite the kang is a table, and there are four bookcases on both sides, which seems to be very rich in books.

Zhao Xu sat cross-legged on the kang, if he was given a cigarette pouch, it would be no different from the old farmer who went home after farm work to smoke a bag of cigarettes.

In front of him was a small coffee table with a teapot and two cups on it. The cup in front of him contained steaming tea soup in it, and the one on the other side was buckled.

As soon as Tang Ning came in, Zhao Xu stretched out his hand, pointed to the seat opposite him, and motioned for Tang Ning to come and sit down.

Tang Ning, who was born in the north, was very familiar with this kind of thing, bowed and saluted, stepped on the heels of the two shoes, took off the shoes and got on the kang, and sat opposite Zhao Xu.

As if after some consideration, Zhao Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "You were kidnapped yesterday, and I am also at fault on my side. ”

Zhao Xu went straight to the point, which surprised Tang Ning a little, but he still bowed his head and said: "It has nothing to do with the official family, it is Weichen who is too imprudent." If you look at it carefully, or try it again, it won't fall into the hands of the villain. ”

"You don't have to be inhibited in the Imperial Study. I didn't call you here today to hear you say these things. In a short period of time, this may be the last time you and I will talk. So let's talk less nonsense, let's talk openly and honestly. ”

Downing

Slander in my heart, be open and honest, isn't that still my unilateral side? You, an emperor, how can you tell me what is in your heart? I don't know how many bad things you've done......

Just thinking of this, I heard Zhao Xu continue: "I can't hide it, the person who came here after yesterday and tortured you with a whip was one of my internal servants. He was also sent out by me, and in the same way, his torture of you was also at my behest. ”

“……”

"Sounds hard to accept, does it? But when I heard the waiter report that you were determined and refused to say anything, I knew that you should have seen the clue, am I right? ”

"Official, Weichen is the people of the Great Song Dynasty and your courtier. The formula of gunpowder is a secret of the Great Song Dynasty, how can Weichen ......"

"Open, sincere, cloth, public." Zhao Xu paused when he said a word, and at the same time tapped his fingers on the small coffee table in front of him: "Today, the two of us are telling the truth in my study." ”

“…… Well, Wechen admits that Wechen had already seen it at that time. Tang Ning saw Zhao Xu's aggressive gaze, so he subconsciously retreated.

He decided to believe Zhao Xu once, believing that he was willing to exchange hearts with him.

Zhao Xu smiled and was about to speak, maybe he felt it, so he took a breath and began to cough.

Tang Ning hurriedly stretched out his hand to pat Zhao Xu's back, but his hand was only halfway out, and his neck was cold.

"What are you going to do, Hiroha?"

The old eunuch came out of nowhere, and what he was holding in his hand turned out to be the dagger that Tang Ning had thrown on the carriage that day.

"I know everything...... Ahem...... You...... Cough...... You go out ......," Zhao Xu said with difficulty while coughing.

The old eunuch snorted and said, "Such a traitorous villain knows no fear in his heart. There is no official position, and there is no position of my holy pilgrimage. Let him be alone with you, the old slave is not at ease! ”

Zhao Xu slapped the coffee table fiercely, and then waved his hand vigorously. The mouth was busy coughing, and he couldn't say a word, but he stared at the old eunuch fiercely.

The old eunuch took a deep breath and turned his gaze on Tang Ning. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "If something goes wrong with the official family, you, and all the people related to you, don't want to get a good end." ”

After speaking, he patted Zhao Xu's back in the past, and gently covered the front of Zhao Xu's mouth with a handkerchief. When Zhao Xu finished coughing, he clutched the handkerchief into a ball and bowed to retreat.

Zhao Xu's cough this time was not bad, but his face was still a little flushed. smiled bitterly and said to Tang Ning self-deprecatingly: "It's ironic, isn't it?"

As the king of a country, the world is so big, I give what I want, but I am infected with an illness that makes the imperial doctors helpless.

Since I want to tell the truth openly and honestly today, then I will tell you.

Downing, I don't have much time. ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Ning was shaking all over.

Big brother, can you not play so exciting. How long have we known each other? We don't know each other very well, and even if we're in love, we don't get married so quickly, right?

Zhao Xu's ability to say this sentence proves that he has no intention of hiding anything about himself.

This treatment made Tang Ning honestly afraid, and at the same time, he was a little unbearable. Because the identity of Emperor Zhao Xu is here, can you imagine the scene where a dragon pulls out his heart and shows you?

Downing couldn't have imagined, or hadn't imagined it at all. So when he was in this kind of scenario, his mind began to mess up.

"Official, you ...... What do you mean by that? ”

Zhao Xu's face was pale, he reached out and turned over the teacup held in front of Tang Ning, poured another cup of tea for Tang Ning, and chuckled: "I haven't been in good health since I was a child, others can run and jump, but I have to worry about whether running and jumping will make me lie in bed for several days."

Even when I walk, I have to walk a little slower than others.

But because of this, I deeply realized that one person's power is ultimately limited. Even I, a person known as the Son of Heaven, will always have some sand flowing between my fingers when I grab a handful of sand.

So I need a helper, or a lot of helpers, to help me collect the sand that runs between my fingers. ”

Zhao Xu said this, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Tang Ning didn't dare to speak, and he didn't know what to say. Zhao Xu obviously began to tell the truth, and at this time, it was better for him to only bring ears and no mouth.

After two sounds, I heard Zhao Xu sigh and say, "A while ago, my idea was not so urgent. Do you know when I started converting? ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Zhao Xu pursed his lips and smiled: "You might as well guess." ”

That's what it means to involve Downing in the conversation.

So Tang Ning scratched his head and said, "If you want Weichen, it's ...... The Battle of Hundberg is over. ”

Zhao Xu didn't say anything, raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"Before the First World War of Hindburg, the thieves who claimed to be the descendants of wolves called the people of the Great Song Dynasty cowardly lambs. They think it's okay for wolves to eat sheep, and they think it's a natural law.

And although I don't want to admit it, the facts of the previous decades have proved that it is. Tang Ning said this head-on. looked up at Zhao Xu, there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, but encouragement, so he boldly continued:

But the First Battle of Hundberg completely reversed this situation, from wolves eating sheep to sheep eating wolves. It was difficult for the thief to understand and accept this situation for a while.

Not only them, Weichen thinks that the Liao people should also think so.

Therefore, Weichen dared to say that in today's situation in the world, my Great Song Dynasty is facing great changes that have not been seen in the more than 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China......"
