Chapter 1030 Dangerous (2)

Zhao Yuelou is not a well-known restaurant in the capital, but it is on the road from Tiefu to the main gate of the capital.

At Zhao Yuelou, Tie Kui got off his horse and said to Ashao, "It's already noon now, I'll go back to the barracks after dinner."

Ashao nodded: "Okay."

When entering the box, there was no one else in the room. But after the food was served, Falcon just walked out through the secret door.

Seeing Ah Shao pull out the knife, Tie Kui hurriedly said, "My own." He didn't tell Ah Shao before because he didn't trust him, but the less people know about it, the better.

In these years, Tie Kui has not revealed his identity and his dealings with Northwest to Ashao. But as Tie Kui's confidant, he didn't find any clue that it was impossible. It's just that Tie Kui saved the lives of his whole family, even if he had doubts, he never asked.

Hearing this, Ah Shao put the knife back into the tip of the knife, and said in a low voice, "Master, I'll go outside to keep watch."

"No need." If you go out to watch the wind, it will attract suspicion. And since Tie Kui was able to come out through the secret door, it showed that Zhao Yuelou was their territory. That being the case, there is no need to be cautious.

Zhao Yuelou has been open in the capital for more than 30 years, and the owner of the restaurant used to be the Huangshang dealer. The Zhuang family later took refuge in Yan Wushuang and sent his daughter to the palace as a concubine. Unexpectedly, Zhuang's family also took refuge in King Ming.

Tie Kui asked Falcon who was sitting down, "What's so urgent?" If it wasn't urgent, I wouldn't see him at this juncture.

Falcon said with a sullen face: "Gao Dongnan is going to bring tung oil into the palace, and he is going to burn the whole palace down." If you only burn one or two palaces, you don't need so much tung oil.

Tie Kui was not surprised at all: "I would rather destroy it than leave it to the enemy, this is Yan Wushuang's style."

"It would be a pity if the palace burned down." The construction of this palace did not know how much manpower, material and financial resources were spent. It is impossible to rebuild in a short time.

Tie Kui understood as soon as he heard the words, and asked, "You mean you want me to stop Gao Dongnan?"

Tie Kui nodded.

Seeing that Tie Kui did not refuse, but fell into deep thought, Ah Shao became anxious immediately: "Master, this is too dangerous. Yan Wushuang has been worried about you, and put many people under surveillance. If the general makes any moves, he will definitely be caught by him." I found it." Once discovered, the master will definitely die.

Falcon didn't speak, just looked at Tie Kui.

After a while, Tie Kui asked: "Is this what you mean, or what the prince and princess mean?" For Tie Kui, this is very important.

Falcon said: "The concubine has already ordered you not to force my uncle to do what he doesn't want to do."

Hearing the word uncle, Ah Shao's eyes widened. He seemed to know a great thing.

Tie Kui felt much more relieved, Yu Xi didn't send him to die just because of a palace.

"Where is the prince now? When will he arrive?" This is very important. Only when Yun Qing arrives with an army, will he act. Otherwise, he will be in danger. No matter how important the imperial palace is, it is not as important as his wealth and life.

Tie Kui said: "According to my calculations, the army will not arrive until noon tomorrow at the earliest." After a pause, Tie Kui said: "I'm afraid that Gao Dongnan will set fire to the palace at night."

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, Gao Dongnan will not order the palace to be burned until the last moment." The burning of the palace will definitely be recorded in the history books. Unless there is no way, no one wants to leave a bad name in the history books.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. But looking at Tie Kui's expression, Falcon didn't say that either. Tie Kui was different from the others, and he didn't dare to force it: "Once Gao Dongnan orders the palace to be set on fire, we will do it. Uncle, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay." If it really came to the point of burning down the palace, it means that the capital is about to lose its hold.

Although everyone knew that the capital could not be defended, since Gao Dongnan had made up his mind to die, he would definitely be able to defend it for some time.

After a pause, Tie Kui asked, "How is Ah Zhan now?" What he missed most was his son.

Falcon has not received any news about Ning Zhan recently: "Young master is in the palace, the princess will definitely take good care of him." Ning Zhan is the cousin of the princess, and Tie Kui is working for him, so why not take good care of him of.

At this time, Yan Kai, the follower, said outside: "General, General Gui sent someone to summon you back."

Tie Kui asked in a low voice, "Did the rebels come?" If it weren't for the rebels, Gao Dongnan wouldn't have rushed him back in such a hurry.

Yan Kai walked into the house, and Falcon was no longer there: "I don't know, the person who came didn't say anything." Even if it wasn't the arrival of the rebels, it must have something to do with it.

Seeing that there was still a table of untouched food, Tie Kui said to Ashao, "Pack it up and take it home." Although Zhao Yuelou's food is not as expensive as Wangyuelou's, it is not cheap either.

Seeing Gao Dongnan, Tie Kui asked eagerly, "General, what's the matter? Are the rebels calling?"

Gao Dongnan said solemnly: "The rebels are already fifty miles away." He didn't expect the rebels to come so quickly.

Tie Kui was overjoyed in his heart, but still deliberately showed a horrified expression on his face: "So fast? Doesn't it mean that we won't arrive until noon tomorrow at the earliest?"

"They were also marching last night." In other words, the Northwest Army did not rest, and they were on their way day and night. Before that, he rested in Baoding for three days, but now he is on the road day and night, and Gao Dongnan can't figure out the number of Yunqing's roads.

Gui Sanliang's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "Doesn't that mean we can arrive tonight?" According to the speed of the Northwest Army, it is enough to reach outside the city at night.

Gao Dongnan nodded with an ugly expression. The speed of the Northwest Army is no longer fighting, it is simply rushing.

Thinking of this, Gao Dongnan seriously expressed despair. He originally thought he could keep it for a month or two. But in the current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for half a month.

In fact, many people have doubts about Yunqing's behavior. Feng Zhiao asked Feng Dajun: "Father, the prince rested in Baoding for many days before, and now he is on his way day and night. It doesn't feel right." I always feel that there is something strange here.

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "You can do what the prince told you to do. Why are there so many problems?"

"Father, so you don't know?" He thought Feng Dajun knew! I didn't know for a long time.

"My lord didn't tell me, so it must be something serious." After finishing speaking, Feng Dajun looked at Feng Zhiao and said, "In the future, you will listen, watch and think more with the son, but you can't ask too many questions." I want you to know You will naturally tell you, and you can't ask more if you don't want to know. If you ask too many questions, it's still a trivial matter to be dismissed. I'm afraid you will think you have a big heart.

Feng Zhiao nodded and said, "I know that."

Just as he was talking, he saw Lu Bai come over and say, "General Feng, the lord is here to invite you." The army is in front and they are behind. The main reason is that they ride horses and are faster.

At the end of Haishi, the Qianfeng Battalion arrived outside the capital. After resting for a few hours, they began to attack the city after dawn, and the attack was very fierce.

When Gui Sanliang got the news, he couldn't help cursing: "Are these really a bunch of lunatics?"

Tie Kui said with a straight face: "They have 550,000 horses, and they can take turns attacking the city." Some of them attacked the city, and some rested. And they are few in number, and their weapons and equipment are not as good as others. If it is not for the strong city wall, they will lose their armor and armor in at most three days.

Gao Dongnan was about to speak when he saw his personal attendant walking over and whispering something in his ear.

Gao Dongnan frowned, but still nodded, and then went down the city wall.

After a quarter of an hour, Gao Dongnan's entourage went up to the tower and said to Tie Kui, "General Tie, the general has something to ask for you."

Tie Kui's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay."

After going down the city wall, Tie Kui entered the camp.

Gao Dongnan stared at Tie Kui with a complicated expression and said, "Why did you go to Zhao Yuelou on the way back from home yesterday?"

Tie Kui guessed that it was because of this: "General, I told you about this yesterday." Yesterday he casually mentioned a few words, saying that he wanted to have a good meal before the battle. At that time, Gao Dongnan didn't think much about it, but now he had to think about it.

Gao Dongnan looked at the table lightly, and said, "Really? Then why are you and your confidantes the only ones accompanying you when eating?" Before Tie Kui could speak, Gao Dongnan sneered: "Eating is fake, but meeting people is real. Right?"

If it was an ordinary person, their legs would probably be weak after hearing this, but Tie Kui's psychological quality is very strong. Not only did he not panic, but he showed a sarcasm smile: "General Gao, there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit crimes. If you want to kill me, just do it directly. You don't need to deal with everything."

Gao Dongnan didn't argue with Tie Kui about this matter: "I misunderstood you or you had a different heart, and you will know soon." the truth. Even the emperor didn't catch him, so it was even more impossible for him. However, that follower may not have such a psychological quality.

Tie Kui said coldly: "These people like to be tortured the most. Instead of waiting for their confession, it's better to punish me now."

Gao Dongnan stood up and said, "You come with me." Since Tie Kui is not convinced, let him be convinced.

After being beaten, there was no good meat all over his body, and Ah Shao didn't utter a word. But when he saw his wife and children, Ah Shao's complexion changed: "If something comes at me, don't touch them."

Bai Po, the spy chief who stayed behind in charge of intelligence in the capital, stood in front of Ashao and said, "If you tell everything you know, I will not only spare them, but I will also let you go."

Ah Shao gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly do you want me to say? I've told you everything I know." He confessed all about Tie Kui's corruption and bribery. But these are not what Bai Ke wants.

After branding a piece of red-hot Tie Kui on Ah Shao's body, Bai Po sneered and said, "Should I say so?"

Ah Shao's daughter-in-law had never seen such a posture before, so she didn't faint. After finally regaining her composure, she cried and said, "The head of the family, you tell them what they want to know." Keeping your family alive is the most important thing, and as for Tie Kui, he can't control that much anymore.

Ashao still said the same thing, he said everything he knew. I don't know, he doesn't want to make up things.

Bai Po pointed the arrow at the chest of Ashao's eldest son, and said, "If you don't say anything, I will kill him with one arrow."

Ah Shao's daughter-in-law knelt on the ground and said: "The head of the family, you can tell everything you know." Although Tie Kui is not mean to their family, how can this be compared with his son.

Ah Shao wished he could eat white scallops, but for the sake of his son, he could only compromise: "I will say whatever you want me to say."

As soon as these words fell, Bai Ke's sword pierced into the child's chest. After the child fell to the ground, Bai Po's sword pointed at the chest of Ashao's eldest daughter: "Say it?"

A Shao's wife wanted to rush over to fight Bai Ke, but he was kicked to the ground before he approached. Ah Shao's daughter-in-law cried heart-rendingly: "The head of the family, you speak quickly, speak quickly!"

Ah Shao roared angrily: "What do you want me to say? If there is nothing, how can I say it?" If there was no incident yesterday, he might confess under this kind of pressure. But now that he knew that Tie Kui was Yu Xi's uncle, how could he dare to confess? Once he confessed, Tie Kui would die, so he, the chief culprit who killed Tie Kui, would not even want to live. Not only his family would not be able to survive, but even his parents and brothers and sisters would not be able to survive.

When Tie Kui and Gao Dongnan came over, they happened to see this scene. Tie Kui kicked the door open and said with a sneer, "If you have the ability, come at me and force my subordinates to do something."

Gao Dongnan's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and he said to Bai Ke, "This is the evidence you said is convincing?" If he was not rational, he would really want to cut Bai Po. When he made such a fuss during the war, he thought he was too free or he was afraid that they would not lose fast enough.

Bai Po didn't expect that Ah Shao's mouth would be so harsh, and he didn't expect Gao Dongnan to come over in person: "General, Tie Kui has long since defected to the Northwest. This is an indisputable fact."

"Pa..." A slap slap successfully made Bai Ke shut up.

Gao Dongnan said coldly: "If it wasn't for the sake of the emperor, I would have chopped off your head right now." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Tie Kui asked the guards who followed to put Ah Shao off the iron frame, and looked at Bai Ke before leaving: "If I don't die in this battle, then you will die." If you don't do anything, it's not like his style of acting .

In a blink of an eye, there were only white people left in the torture room.

After a while, Bai Po sneered and said, "I don't believe you can hide for a lifetime." One day, the fox's tail will be exposed.

Tie Kui took Ah Shao back to Tiefu, then called Yan Kai into the house, and said to him, "Go and tell Gao Dongnan that my old illness has broken out and I can't fight anymore." Southeast will not doubt him.

Yan Kai was taken aback.

Tie Kui said sharply: "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up." He knew that it was impossible to stay at home, but this gesture had to be shown. Otherwise, it would be more doubtful not to be angry after being wronged.

"Yes, General." After finishing speaking, Yan Kai hurriedly walked out.

When Zhong Shantong knew this, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead: "It's so dangerous." If Ah Shao confessed, his master would definitely be beheaded by Gao Dongnan.

Tie Kui said: "This is the last time." He no longer wants to be a fish on the chopping board and let others slaughter him.

Zhong Shantong said with some concern: "Master, can General Gao let you rest at home?"

"No." But before Gao Dongnan forced him to go to the front line, he could do many things. (to be continued)
