C712 A Show of Strength
Besides, he had to admit that what Mi Shenmeng said... It makes sense. What Fu Lin said to him today was clearly what he thought would be the execution ground tomorrow. It would be a battlefield. He believed that at that time, that place would be a sea of fire and a sea of flames. He really didn't have any reason to do so. He wanted these brothers to work for someone they did not recognize.
At this time, Faang Tiandao slowly spoke. "These few people should probably be saved. They should be our scapegoats. Moreover, with the strength of us, rescuing them... It wasn't a bad thing to beat up the Qing Dynasty. Furthermore, I believe Mr. Zhang already knows that the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese are going to have a marriage alliance. At this critical moment, in the name of solving the plain-cutting case... It was obvious that they were going to use the blood sacrifice to establish their prestige in Ming Dynasty. They wanted to show their determination to deal with the people of Ming Dynasty and Han together. Therefore, we might as well do as they say. Let's give them a good show of strength and let them know. It's very easy to be blown down by the wind by raising a flag. "
Since Faang Tiandao had made his stand clear, it seemed like Mi Shenmeng was very convinced of him. He only twitched his mouth and didn't say anything else. Ye Shiyuan, Mi Ouping and the others naturally didn't have any objections. They had come from afar. Each and every one of them felt an itch in their hands. There was such a chance. First, they could save someone, and second, they could vent their frustrations. Each and every one of them could tell how excited they were.
Zhang Jingxuan was also happy to see that Faang Tiandao had helped him out, but he was still worried.
"I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple. The people of Qing Dynasty must have come prepared to kill someone and sacrifice their flag at this time of the year. Although our strength is not bad, this is their base camp after all. We must make a detailed plan. We must not save someone just because of that. Our own people will be injured again. "
The people around them nodded slowly. What Zhang Jingxuan said had pulled them back from their excitement.
If they really wanted to rescue Qilian Four Evils, they would definitely have to go through a fierce battle. Sabers and swords had no eyes, so it was inevitable that they would be injured. Besides, if the people of the Qing Dynasty set up an inescapable net, did they know that there was a trap? Why would they jump into it?
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't stay for long. As for the specific plan, they would have to discuss it. They would notify him briefly through a special channel later. He used some time and went to see Mei Jiefu again. Mei Jiefu's current treatment had become much better. In fact, it was his own request to live in the cage. Zhang Jingxuan was stunned for a while before he quietly left. After walking a big circle outside, he leisurely came to Saitang Garden and stayed for a while. Only then did he return to the Imperial Palace.
Currently, the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. Zhang Jingxuan and the others had caused a ruckus last night. Perhaps it was one of the reasons. Zhang Jingxuan suddenly remembered that the strange thing was that Fu Lin didn't ask about the giant black python last night. Instead, he had been concerned about the so-called "beauty." He could not help but worry if Fu Lin knew something. Or perhaps he had guessed something. He quickened his steps and soon arrived near the house. He looked around and found nothing unusual. Only then did he feel relieved.
After entering the courtyard, he took a quick glance and discovered at least three restrictions. He carefully bypassed them and accidentally hung a spider web on his face. The feeling of being stuck on the back of his neck from beginning to end was not very pleasant. He wiped it as he did so. He entered the room. Tang Shaoshao clearly knew that he had returned and sat there. She was waiting for him with a smile that was not a smile.
"Isn't it a little itchy?"
When she asked this question, Zhang Jingxuan suddenly felt even more itchy.
"It's more than a little. It's so itchy! What is this thing? Is it something you are doing?" Zhang Jingxuan knew that ordinary things would not cause him to be in such a sorry state.
"You are smart. This thing was not poisonous, but it would make one's heart itch. Consider yourself lucky. If it touches you, then you'll itch for a while. After ten days or half a month, he would actually be fine. It'll be fine."
"Ah! Ten days to half a month! In another fifteen minutes, it will itch to death! Please, please, don't tease me, okay? You're a good girl, but you like to tease people. That's not good. "
Tang Shaoshao heard his words and suddenly became cold and straight.
"Anything is good. You just like to tease people? Hmph! When did you learn to glib your tongue? Let's watch and see!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and hit something. How could Zhang Jingxuan have imagined that before her body recovered, she would hit whenever she wanted to? However, although the thing she threw out was very fast, it did not have much strength after all. Zhang Jingxuan easily dodged it and rolled up his sleeve to look at that thing. It was a small bottle.
"Wipe your neck. Be careful of being poisoned to death!"
Zhang Jingxuan carefully opened the lid of the bottle and found a dark green ointment inside. The itch was really unbearable. He did not hesitate, and with a touch of his finger, he scooped a little bit and rubbed it on his neck.
The effect was really immediate when he wiped it on his neck. A cool and comfortable feeling immediately spread throughout his entire body. This time, Zhang Jingxuan finally experienced it. Even if it was not some poisonous thing... However, when it was used by Tang Shaoshao, it was still difficult to resist. He could be considered an expert in using poison to detoxify poisons, but in front of Tang Shaoshao... It was really like binding one's hands and feet. Of course, in terms of martial arts, he was still a little higher.
For some reason, Zhang Jingxuan did not have any reservations about Tang Shaoshao at this moment. Perhaps he had heard of a saying since he was young that the more beautiful a girl was, the more she liked to lie. The more he couldn't believe it, the more he found it hard to believe that the Tang Shaoshao in front of him was miles away from the word "beautiful."
Zhang Jingxuan briefly repeated what Fu Lin had said to him to Tang Shaoshao. Tang Shaoshao was also a little surprised. She did not expect that Zhu You Jian would actually be willing to give up the throne. This kind of magnanimity was not something an ordinary person could reach. Of course, the collapse of the world had already reached an irreparable situation. There were actually two choices that Zhu Youjin faced. One was to be overthrown by the peasant army led by Zhu Hongji. The other was to be crushed by the cavalry of Qing Dynasty.
He had to admit that he had made an extremely difficult decision. It could be said that he had made the right choice. In this way, the Ming Dynasty could still do something. However, the handover of this power and the arrangements of the various powers... The balance of power in the North and South Capital was not a simple matter. It was even more complicated than simply overthrowing a regime.
As for the connection between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese, it was not something that could be done in a day or two. Now, they could smell the impending crisis. Therefore, the two of them no longer pretended to be sincere and started to work together.
