Chapter 17 Between Life and Death

In fact, Ye Zhiming also expected that the Spike Army would be the only ones who would plan to stir up internal conflicts between the imperial court and the Central Plains martial arts, and make troubles.

The sneaky man was still a little unconvinced, and said, "Why don't you suspect Shence Army?"

"If Mr. Xia hadn't happened to pass by this time, your plan would probably have succeeded. General Li Min was pulled down by you, and everyone's attention would naturally be drawn to those who had conflicts with the Tiance Mansion. Shence Army Maybe there are suspicions, but don't forget..." Ye Zhiming snorted coldly, "Compared with the Shence Army, the Spike Army is more suspicious. Common people, in the matter of dealing with foreign enemies, there has never been any disagreement between Divine Strategy and Tiance Strategy!"

The sneaky man stopped talking, Zhou Xian stared at his side face for a long time, and suddenly said: "I recognize you."

Both Ye Zhiming and Xia Yu looked at him, Zhou Xian frowned and thought for a while, "It is said that it is a small staff officer next to Shanlang, called... Zhang Zhi?"

Zhang Zhi's face turned pale, and he blurted out, "How do you know me? I have never shown my face outside, and no one around Mr. Mountain Wolf knows my true identity!"

"Zhang Zhi..." Xia Yu rubbed his chin and thought of something, "I heard from a brother who went to the front line that Tianbao's 14th An Lushan rebellion, one of the Han spies was sent to General Xue at the time Medicine, so that General Xue was exhausted and finally died on the battlefield, that Han... seems to be called Zhang Zhi."

Zhang Zhideng's face was pale and purple, cold sweat poured down, his eyes seemed to fall out of their sockets because of fear, his hands and feet were bound, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and his eyes were fixed on the ground all the time Don't dare to look up.

Zhou Xiandao: "That's right, I've also heard about this incident. When I first entered Tiance Mansion, I heard a blind old man in the camp mention it. He said that he would never forget the appearance of that Han spy in his life. I will never forget his voice either. He once said that the man's sneaky face is very recognizable, his stature is shorter than ordinary people, his bones can be stretched freely, and he is especially good at light work."

"Is that person from Cangyun's old department?" Ye Zhiming asked.

"Perhaps, he never mentioned his life experience. Later, Qu Shuai recruited the former Cangyun Department that had been lost. He disappeared not long after the news came. " Zhou Xian was thoughtful, "I always thought that he was just an ordinary battlefield veteran."

"If you are blind in both eyes, you have to go back to the place where you should go. This kind of sentiment is really admirable." Xia Yu nodded, and looked at Zhang Zhi again, "The face is sneaky, the stature is short, and he is good at light work..."

"He can also shrink bones." Zhou Xian said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Even if it's a coincidence, it's not such a coincidence." Xia Yu sneered, "Whether it is true or not, as long as he is handed over to the eldest grandson commander, we will see."

Zhou Xian nodded, and Zhang Zhi on the other end screamed.

"No! Don't! You kill me! Kill me!!"

"That can't be done." Ye Zhiming kicked his wound, "If you are really Zhang Zhi, you should be handed over to the Cang Yun Army. It's easy to die? Hehe, dreaming!"

Zhang Zhi's face was distorted in horror, and he shouted for a long time: "I, I can tell you the movement of the Spike Army! As long as you don't hand me over to the eldest grandson Wangqing, I will tell you anything you ask me, and I will do anything you ask me." Can!"

"It seems that you are really Zhang Zhi." Xia Yu nodded, "You said, you just say whatever we ask you?"

"Tell me, I'll tell you everything!" Zhang Zhi hurriedly nodded, he knew what would happen to him if he was handed over to the Cangyun Army, just imagining him was already scared out of his wits.

"The first question." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, "Is Tianshan Village a conspiracy that you want to plant for Huo Tu? By the way, let Tiance Mansion go into the water?"

"Yes..." Zhang Zhi swallowed his saliva, and quickly said: "Apart from the Cangyun Army, the Tiance Mansion is the biggest obstacle for us to enter the Central Plains. If the emperor suspects that the Tiance Mansion has ulterior motives and plans to conspire with the Cangyun Army, The Tiance Mansion will not be sent by the emperor to reinforce the Cangyun army in a short period of time. After our pressure suddenly subsides, we will eradicate the emperor's eyeliner in the arena and cause conflicts between the imperial court and the Central Plains martial arts. Bigger."

"People fight outside first and then settle inside first. You do the opposite, provoking first and then taking advantage of the chaos, which can be regarded as extraordinary ability." Xia Yu turned the pen back and forth in his hand, making Zhang Zhi covered in cold sweat, and said for a long time : "Tian, ​​Tianshan Village is just a lead, coupled with the secret technique of the Five Immortals Sect, the surviving villagers are confused and can't remember exactly what happened. I, I want to mix in to find out what your next plan is." It's more convenient."

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, "Are you among the villagers?"

"……Yes."

Ye Zhiming understood, no wonder this person knew their whereabouts so well, he didn't know whether to say that this person was brave or something else, but he sneaked under their noses in a grandiose manner.

"If all the villagers are killed, the clues left intentionally will be cut off, so there must be a few people left." Zhang Zhidao: "Just let them remember the logo of Huotu, the rest is not important."

Xia Yu's expression was indifferent, and he suddenly hit Zhang Zhi's acupoints, causing Zhang Zhi to scream and roll all over the floor.

"Human lives are used by you as tools, and you take it for granted without shame!" Xia Yu was so angry that a storm rolled up in his eyes, and he turned the pen in his hand again. Zhang Zhi's screams became louder and louder, and finally He passed out.

Liang Yi grabbed Xia Yu, stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, Ye Zhiming glanced at Xia Yu, although this person was smiling all day long and seemed easy to talk, but he was from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley after all, as a doctor, the most intolerable It's someone's fate.

Ye Zhiming said: "Things are similar to what we guessed. The only thing that went wrong was this scumbag who leaked the news. We pretended all the way. It's a joke to think about it."

Zhou Xiandao: "Then Yuan Lang may have been waiting for you to throw yourself into the trap, maybe Li Yang in the inn was also the bait they threw out, waiting for us to take the bait."

"Then Yuan Lang's illness is real." Xia Yu said coldly, "These people really do everything they can to lure us into the bait."

"At any rate, the matter was resolved smoothly, as long as he is taken back to Chang'an and convicted of Tiance Mansion and Huotu's suspicion, he will be cleared." Zhou Xiandao.

Xia Yu remained silent, as if thinking about something.

Ye Zhiming looked at him, "What's wrong? The case is solved, are you unhappy?"

"If you send him back to Chang'an, do you think the emperor will send him to the eldest grandson for disposal?" Xia Yudao: "There is also the matter of Huo Tu. After this incident, the court naturally knows that everyone in the world knows their tricks." , there is still no need for Huotu to continue to exist.”

In other words, whether this person is sent back now, or not, whether he is guilty or not, Huo Tu's fate is already doomed.

As the emperor's shady dark chess player, he must think that sooner or later he will be regarded as an abandoned child.

Liang Yi didn't care much, "I make my own decision, and I will bear it myself."

"Yes, Huo Tu is also eating their own bad results, but they will definitely not be willing to accept this result." Xia Yu said: "Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a group of people who eat meat?"

Ye Zhiming frowned, "What do you mean?"

Xia Yu said meaningfully: "In order to survive, there is a saying called 'do it as a last resort'."

Ye Zhiming pondered for a moment, then he was startled, "You mean, if we don't help, Huo Tu might simply fall to the enemy for his life?"

"It's not impossible." Xia Yu shrugged.

Zhou Xian's eyes widened, "This is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

Xia Yu was amused, "People can't live anymore, why do you care about this?"

"But, but..." Zhou Xian felt that the reasoning didn't make sense, but he couldn't refute it. His righteous face was tangled together, and the doubts and puzzles hidden in his eyes were clearly revealed.

In the past, Ye Zhiming would laugh at him for being a single-minded piece of wood. Not everyone like him can die without any reason. It seems that just the action of "going to die" has great meaning and meaning. value.

There are many people in this world who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and what is more than greedy for life and fearful of death is "not wanting to die".

Even if there is only a little hope of surviving, I don’t want to leave so simply. There are still many things I haven’t done, many things I haven’t said to anyone, there are lovers and family members I want to protect, and many things I regret I didn't make up for it, there are still many scenery I want to see, people I want to meet...

The idea of ​​"living for whom" is not at fault in itself, just like Zhou Xian's idea of ​​"willing to die for whom", no one has the right to criticize anyone.

Ye Zhiming had many emotions in his eyes, but he restrained them one by one. He patted Zhou Xian on the shoulder, but when Zhou Xian turned his head in doubt, he didn't say anything.

A few people didn't stay in the hotel that night, they wrapped their clothes in the woods with a bonfire but didn't want to sleep.

The disciples of the Tang Sect have already rushed back to the Tang Sect to report the news temporarily, asking for reinforcements for the missing Huotu Gangzhu and others, while the remaining disciples of the Tang Sect helped guard and escort Zhang Zhi and others.

The Chengdu Mansion is still very peaceful for the time being, perhaps even those officials who have dealings with Li Yang, Yuan Lang and others don't know that they almost became treasonous sinners through the ages.

Ye Zhiming thought a lot of things in his mind, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking for a while. In the middle of the night, he got up and went to urinate in the woods. He just stopped in front of a tree, and followed behind him. Come to Xixi Suoso's voice.

He glanced back and knew who it was without even thinking about it.

It really was Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian stopped three steps behind him and didn't speak for a long time.Ye Zhiming held back for a while, and said angrily, "I can't pee like this!"

Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps back and turned his back to Ye Zhiming.

Ye Zhiming had blue veins popping out of his forehead, he turned around after finally urinating, and walked deep into the forest again.

Zhou Xian followed, "Where are you going?"

"Look for a water source, wash your hands and wipe your face. I can't even take a shower after tossing around for so long, it's so uncomfortable."

Zhou Xian was speechless, this young master was the one who was the most particular about this journey, he simply did his own thing regardless of the occasion.Of course, if you can restrain yourself according to the occasion, I'm afraid you won't be able to do your own thing.

Zhou Xian followed him to search, and the two of them were silent all the way. After finding a small stream, Ye Zhiming washed his hands first, and then took out a handkerchief that he knew was not ordinary after looking at the material, and rubbed it gently in the water. After a while, he carefully wrung dry and wiped his face.

The moon in the sky was still very bright, and it was reflected in the water with a silver light. Zhou Xian squatted on one side, unconsciously grabbing the stem of the grass, and watched Ye Zhiming's movements sideways.

After Ye Zhiming wiped his face, he wiped his neck again. Finally, he washed the handkerchief and casually put it on his wrist, and turned to look at Zhou Xian.

"In the middle of the night, are you still finished?"

Zhou Xian lowered his head in embarrassment, but he didn't get angry, he just said: "I have...doubts in my heart."

"If you have any doubts in your heart, go to the Taoist monk to help you resolve them. Why do you want me?"

"..." Zhou Xian ignored his rebuttal, and said to himself: "There are so many people in this world who sacrificed their lives for their family and country, and they didn't even leave their names, but why do some people do it for their own selfishness? Hurting the comrades, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and chilling the hearts of those dead?"

"Because the forest is so big, there are all kinds of birds." Ye Zhiming pouted, turned and walked back, "You said you are not those bald monks in Shaolin Temple, why do you think about this all day long? What do other people's affairs have to do with you? Is it up to you alone to decide what the family, country and world should look like?"

Zhou Xian caught up and said stubbornly: "But if everyone doesn't take the family, country and world as their own business, the country's subjugation will only happen sooner or later!"

Ye Zhiming stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at Zhou Xian, Zhou Xian was surprised to find that Ye Zhiming's eyes were filled with anger.

"Let me ask you." Ye Zhiming said word by word, "I, Xia Yu, Liang Yi, seem to be willing to die, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and not hesitating to hurt my colleagues for my own selfishness?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Xian was taken aback, "I don't mean you..."

"Then Miss Qin Wan, General Li Min, those Tang Sect disciples, do they look like the kind of people you mentioned?"

"No... not."

"We don't talk about family and country affairs every day, and we don't worry about family and country affairs. To tell you the truth, I think that emperor boy is not pleasing to the eye for a long time. The court owes me the hidden sword villa." The money can already fill three treasuries!"

Zhou Xian: "..."

Ye Zhiming said: "You don't know what it's like to fight at all, you haven't been to the front line, you just want to go to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country, but you don't even know what the land you're standing on looks like! "

Zhou Xian was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he said after a while: "Then, what should I do? I... I am from the Tiance Mansion, and I was supposed to go to the front to fight, I think..."

"You just want to die." Ye Zhiming narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Find a high-sounding excuse for your own death, so that people will admit that all your words and actions are correct."

Ye Zhiming approached Zhou Xian, and stretched out his hand to poke his heart. Zhou Xian was forced to look up, looking at Ye Zhiming's fair skin under the moonlight, his delicate outline, and his slender and deep eyebrows.

Ye Zhiming broke all the thoughts that Zhou Xian had relied on so far, saying, "A hero doesn't mean dying."
