Chapter 43 The Wicked
Chapter 43 Evil Man
Walking out of the lobby, Li Zijing didn't have much joy on his face.
Regarding the front camp's view, he was somewhat too optimistic before.
Li Zijing only knew that the front camp was behind the main force of the Dashun Army in the Battle of Qingdu and suffered a disastrous defeat, but he did not know the real situation of the front camp now.
After listening to what Li Zicheng said just now, Li Zijing felt that this former battalion general was not that easy to be.
First of all, Li Zijing did not have much management experience. There were only more than a hundred people before, but the number suddenly increased tenfold. Not only did the camp affairs become complicated, but he also had to rely on himself to lead the troops in battle.
Secondly, the front camp is basically an empty shell now, and as a general, he only has a headquarters of more than a thousand people under his command.
The original strength of more than a thousand people is the smallest even among the five battalions of Dashun today, and it is not even as large as some Dashun generals stationed in places.
The entire front camp is like a microcosm of Dashun, and it is not easy to rebuild.
Thinking about these things, Li Zijing walked quickly towards the front camp.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Zongmin, wearing a brand new green arrow suit, looked at Li Zijing's back, came to Niu Jinxing, and snorted coldly.
Liu Zongmin looked gloomy and did not answer anything. He just stood up suddenly, raised his feet and left directly.
"This will not only save your majesty's safety, but also relieve Jingxiang's urgent need."
Niu Jinxing's big tent was not far from the Tongguan General Military Mansion. The two arrived quickly. The red candles were high in the tent, and documents from all over the place were placed on the table.
"Didn't you say that Li Zijing would be a threat to King Chuang?"
He didn't want the country that Li Zicheng had struggled with for many years to fall into the hands of a brother-killer, and he didn't want Li Zicheng to be in such danger, not even a little bit.
Liu Zongmin looked slightly startled, feeling that what this wise old man said did make a lot of sense.
"General Quan is still so impatient."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. In a few days, the army will break camp and return to Xi'an. I don't have much time to chat with you!"
When Liu Zongmin walked in, he saw Niu Jinxing sitting in front of the desk, pouring him a cup of hot tea.
"What does prime minister mean?"
"Your Majesty is unwilling to take action because of brotherly love. Doesn't General Quan understand?"
When he left, the flattering smile on Niu Jinxing's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by extreme disgust.
Niu Jinxing looked surprised, her eyes uncertain.
"King Xiao Chuang's temperament has changed drastically. These days, even Liu Fangliang and others have begun to think of him as their main character. This is not a good sign."
"General Quan, do you know why I like to drink tea?"
Ever since Niu Jinxing told Li Shimin about his father-killing and brother-killing after he came to power, Liu Zongmin has always had a thorn in his heart.
"Tsk, what a pity these two cups of good tea are!"
"When it comes to the mouth of this Prime Minister, after going through ups and downs, it will return to that plain and refreshing fragrance in the end."
Why do you suddenly understand everything in these few days?
"Because life is like this cup of tea. At the beginning, it is dry and bitter, but after brewing with hot water, it will become full and fragrant."
Niu Jinxing squinted at Liu Zongmin and shook his head slightly.
"Yesterday I told General Quan about Tang Taizong Li Shimin's murder of his father and brother after he came to power. General Quan still remembers it."
Nowadays, if a king has no queen, if something unexpected happens in the future, and the world is prosperous, wouldn’t he give it up to others?
At this time, Niu Jinxing was still wagging her lips and bulging her tongue.
"Also, what did you mean by winking just now?"
"The front camp has been destroyed by the Qing army. There is no harm in handing it over to Li Zijing. If General Quan is worried about this, he is really worrying too much."
"General Quan wants to advise His Majesty to send King Xiaochuang to Jingxiang in the name of determining the overall situation."
Liu Zongmin himself hated such a formal environment, and he was not very fond of Niu Jinxing.
This Li Zijing is known as the Little Chuang King, but he has been with the camp for many years and has made no achievements. It is even more impossible to say that he knows any military tactics and strategies.
"General Quan is asking questions knowingly!"
After staring at Liu Zongmin for a while, Niu Jinxing was finally defeated by his momentum and decided to get straight to the point.
After Liu Zongmin left, he returned to his camp and looked at the darkening sky, his eyes becoming cold.
Niu Jinxing curled her lips slightly and put down the tea cup.
"General Quan has never thought about it. Why?"
"Now, the same crisis is still brewing in Dashun!"
Liu Zongmin sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
"King Xiao Chuang's temperament has changed drastically these days. It's like he's a different person. He's very skilled in using military tactics and tactics, and he even knows how to fight in a cave city."
The reason why Li Zijing was displeased with Li Zijing in the hall today and what he said by chance was because of this story.
Liu Zongmin became furious and overturned the table.
In just a few days, he became the commander-in-chief and then the commander-in-chief.
He knelt down, picked up the fragment of the tea cup, and drank a small sip of tea from the fragment.
"If you have anything to say, just say it and stop pretending! Otherwise I will leave!"
Liu Zongmin stared at Niu Jinxing, thought for a moment, and followed him.
"This matter is of great importance, so we'd better discuss it in my account."
Liu Zongmin's chest kept rising and falling as he stared at Niu Jinxing.
"Niu Jinxing, let me tell you, I have no interest in drinking tea!"
"Jingxiang is in chaos now. After King Xiaochuang goes, he will definitely escape death. There is no need for His Majesty to take action and gain another bad reputation."
"It doesn't matter whether General Quan believes it or not. This incident really happened. Then Li Shimin killed his father and brother in order to fight for power and gain. There is nothing he can do."
He didn't reply, but just watched a group of Dashun generals filing out of the hall and walking towards a tent behind the hall.
"This is the way to enjoy tea, does General Quan understand?"
Liu Zongmin's eyes tightened slightly, and his tone was still cold, but gradually relaxed.
"snort!"
The lights in the tent were brightly lit, and soldiers from the Chinese army wearing green arrow-coats were patrolling back and forth, with no more than ten steps between sentry posts.
Obviously compared with Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing's city is still deeper.
Niu Jinxing looked like a child who could be taught, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers outside the tent to stay farther away, and then said.
"Why didn't you say a word?"
Behind the desk is a mahogany bookshelf that was looted from unknown sources. There are all kinds of books on it, most of which are about the art of war.
The hot tea on the table flowed all over the floor as the tea cup was tipped over, and the fragrant smell hit my face and then quickly dissipated.
The reason why he is here now is entirely related to Li Zijing.
"Now, I am in the same camp as General Quan."
Liu Zongmin glanced at the hot tea in front of him and sneered, but did not reply.
The hot tea on the table exuded a rich and fragrant smell. Niu Jinxing's eyes moved slightly, but in the face of Liu Zongmin's disrespect, he did not show any anger.
The aroma of the original hot tea has long since dissipated, and the tea has cooled down, just like the state of mind of Niu Jinxing.
"It's a pity that a rough guy who doesn't know etiquette has missed these two cups of good tea!"
Niu Jinxing smiled and shook his head.
"Then according to the Prime Minister's intention, Xiao Chuang Wang has been pretending before, and he is just waiting for something to happen to Dashun so that he can replace King Chuang?"
He held up the teacup and tasted it carefully.
On the one hand, he really didn't have a good impression of Niu Jinxing, and he was extremely disgusted with all civilized officials.
On the other hand, I think Niu Jinxing’s statement makes some sense.
Liu Zongmin placed the bloody sword at his feet, stared at the sky, and gradually clenched his fists.
For the sake of King Chuang's safety, it would be better for my old brother to do this evil thing!
I haven't been in the right state these past few days. The stools in my hometown are too small and short, and my waist hurts a bit. It's very uncomfortable to type. I have a train ticket to go home tomorrow. I'll probably get home in the evening. I will adjust my condition as soon as possible. For Brother Xiao Binghe
The extra update will be placed two days after tomorrow, and it will definitely be honored!
