Chapter 21: Closing the Journey
Bing Yuanzhi sat in an interrogation room without saying a word, waiting quietly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With a "click", the soundproof door made of stainless steel slowly opened, and two jailers slowly walked in with Cheng Yaojin, who was in shackles.
As the door closed, Bing Yuanzhi looked at Cheng Yaojin calmly for a while, and then said to him in a very flat tone: "Li Mi has been beheaded today, do you have anything to say?"
Cheng Yaojin slowly closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he sighed bitterly.
"Help me persuade the king to surrender, and I will spare your life. Bing Yuanzhi still said to him very calmly.
Cheng Yaojin slowly opened his eyes, and said with a slight sneer: "Wang Bodang is only afraid that he wants to be martyred now, and my eloquence has never been good. If you want to persuade him to surrender, even if Su Qin is reborn and Zhang is still alive, I am afraid it will not be possible. Bingyuanzhen, what do you want, just talk about it happily. ”
Bing Yuanzhi looked at Cheng Yaojin, smiled and said to him: "You are really much smarter than Qin Qiong's idiot. When Li Mi killed himself, you didn't even run away, you even knew that there would be no good end, but you still accompanied him to the last journey. Cheng Yaojin, what you owe Li Mi has now been paid off. In a word, I want you to be loyal to a person, whether you want to live or die, you can choose for yourself. ”
After Cheng Yaojin heard this, he immediately frowned slightly.
From the moment he saw Bing Yuanzhi, he knew that the other party was here to persuade him to surrender, which was not difficult to guess at all, but listening to the meaning of Bing Yuanzhi's words, the person he was loyal to did not seem to be Li Yuan.
This point, that is greatly exceeded, Cheng Yaojin's surprise.
"If you don't tell me the identity of that person, I will consider him the lord at most. Loyalty to this kind of thing is equivalent to handing over your life to the other party, if you are me, will you be loyal so easily? In the end, it is the king of Qin or the crown prince, you don't have to continue to pretend to be mysterious. Cheng Yaojin preached to him disdainfully.
"I swore allegiance to that man for the sake of my life. Hah, you may not believe it, but I only met him once before I swore allegiance to him. Afterwards, I looked down on him very much. However, the end result is, it is worth it! Loyalty, life, or not, death! You choose. Bing Yuanzhi said to Cheng Yaojin with a cold expression.
Cheng Yaojin frowned, in his mind, he had gone through all the possible big names in Datang, but he still couldn't figure out who had such a great ability to make Bing Yuanzhi say the word very worthy.
"You're really stumped me. Let me tell you clearly, the lord who can make you say the word "very worthy" must be worthy of my loyalty. But! I want to make sure one last time, you are not here to fool me, this dying man, right?" After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he stared at the other party's eyes.
Bing Yuanzhi looked at the other party calmly, and said to him very firmly: "The value of my life is to make my lord happy!"
After Cheng Yaojin wrinkled his brows and listened to this, he lowered his head and began to weigh it bitterly, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice to Bingyuanzhen: "I want to live!"
Bing Yuanzhi finally heard the answer he wanted to hear, so he stood up with a smile, dropped a sentence and left the cell: "Give you a task to gain the trust of the man in the general's building." After that, you are eligible to meet the lord. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Cheng Yaojin was treated as a small character who was not important at all, mixed in a bunch of ordinary samurai, and left Datang's prison with his head down.
As a small character, it is already extremely lucky to be able to come out alive, so there is no need to think about things like high-ranking officials and Houlu at all.
So, Cheng Yaojin, who was full of stench and stubbled beard, came to the general's building pitifully.
The proprietor was a very kind-hearted man, and when he saw a beggar wandering back and forth in front of the door, he took out a string of copper coins and walked up to the beggar.
"When everyone is in a dilemma, you can take the money first. In the future, after you get through it, you can pay me back. With that, the boss handed the large string of money to Cheng Yaojin with both hands.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the boss in a daze, he quickly took the copper coin with both hands, and then bent down with the money in his hand and said to the boss: "Thank you for your kindness, you can help me when Cheng Yaojin is in trouble, but I can't accept your money." If you really want to help me, then please tell Xiaodan that I, Cheng Yao, have come to join him today. ”
As soon as the boss heard this, he immediately asked suspiciously, "You...... Come, come, please, please, I'll find you a private room, you rest first. After finishing speaking, he pulled Cheng Yaojin into the general's building.
When Wukong walked into the private room with a head full of fog, as soon as he saw the dirty Cheng Yaojin, he immediately asked in surprise: "yes? You haven't been beheaded? ”
Cheng Yaojin heard what he said, and he was almost angry with Wukong, but for the sake of his own task, he could only endure it.
"Little egg, what you once told me, in the end, does it still count?" Cheng Yaojin asked Wukong dejectedly.
"What do you mean? Did I promise you anything before? Why can't I remember? Give me a little reminder. Wukong asked Cheng Yaojin suspiciously.
As soon as Cheng Yaojin heard this, he was immediately angry half to death, thinking that at the beginning, Wukong was in Li Mi's camp and told Cheng Yaojin that if he couldn't get along in the future, as long as he lifted Wukong's shoes once, Wukong would consider accepting him as a younger brother.
Unexpectedly, now, Wukong has forgotten this!
"Little egg, I'm at the end of my rope now, can you help me for the sake of everyone being fellow villagers?"
"Who is the same countryman as you? You're not missing arms or legs, so why don't you just do something? I won't help you. I'll ask someone to cook you a meal in a moment, and when you're done, you can find your own work. With that, Goku turned around and left the private room.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Wukong's attitude towards a former general like him would be no different from that towards a passerby.
What can I do about this, if he continues to haunt Goku, it will be a little too fake.
So, in the next few days, Cheng Yaojin first became good friends with the boss, and then he became one of the ingredient suppliers of the General Building.
As time progressed, more than two months passed in a blink of an eye.
"Cheng Yaojin, what the hell are you doing again? I let you get close to the little egg, why haven't you acted for a long time? Don't you want to live?" Bing Yuanzhu shouted to Cheng Yaojin angrily.
To be honest, Cheng Yaojin is now doing this small business, and he gradually discovered that this simple life is actually quite good, and he doesn't want to play the game of dominating the world anymore.
"Which eye did you see that I didn't move? I was drinking with that little fat man last night. I don't understand, is it interesting that you let me follow him all day? He's just a simple cook. He didn't think about returning to the court, can't you just let him go?" Cheng Yaojin frowned tightly and persuaded Bing Yuanzhen.
"This arm of mine was broken because of him, do you think I shouldn't take revenge for this revenge? So, if you want to return to the court, you have to help me kill him!" Bing Yuanzhi said coldly to Cheng Yaojin.
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin stood up angrily and said coldly to Bing Yuanzhen: "Although I am not a good person, I assassinate someone who believes in me. This kind of tasteless thing, I still don't care to do. You don't order me here, you don't have the qualifications to do this!" After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin turned around and prepared to leave here.
"Are you really not going to help me kill the little egg? What if I say that this is what the lord means?"
"Take me to see the lord, I want to ask him for an understanding!" Cheng Yaojin frowned, and said coldly as he suppressed his anger.
"Very well, it seems...... , I still didn't choose the wrong person. Haven't you always wanted to know who the lord is? Now, you've guessed it, right?" asked Cheng Yaojin with a smile.
"You...... You...... , little egg, who is he!" Cheng Yaojin was extremely shocked and asked Bing Yuanzhen.
"He will soon become Datang's concubine, and at the same time, he is also the lord of my Bingyuanzhen. Now, you should know what this game of chess looks like, right?" replied slowly with a mysterious smile on his face.
