Xie Ming

Continuation of the article.
"Old Qiu, that's not right."

"This, this method sounds promising."

"But, after all, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"Mobilizing troops is a time-consuming task. It will take more than a day or two to complete."

"Can we survive that long?"

Xie Sufu has great ambitions but little talent, and his big plans are incompetent, but when it comes to small calculations, he is not inferior.

Moreover, he was originally a military officer, and even though he had never led troops in battle, he knew a lot about the art of deploying troops, so he could make such a defense.

"Alas..." After hearing this, Qiu Maohua sighed weakly.

"What else can I do?"

"Let's try it for now."

"Think of me, Qiu Maohua. I was born a Jinshi, but I wasted half my life in the officialdom."

"Looking for the golden millet in the books of sages, I experienced the ups and downs in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty."

"I am so old, and I am not able to return home in glory. What a pity!"

"The book says, 'When a bird is about to die, its cry is sad, and when a person is about to die, his words are kind.'"

"Oh, when you and I finish this last thing, it will be a complete beginning and an end."

"Although I am dying, I am still alive." Qiu Maohua pretended to raise his hands and bow in the air.

"Old Xie, I really have no other ideas."

"Let's work together for this last chance and give it a try. If we succeed, all the old shit will be forgotten."

"Even if I die, I will be worthy of my ancestors and the Ming Dynasty."

"It's better than being branded as a traitor and a running dog, and being despised by the world for eternity!"

When Qiu Maohua died, he knew that this was unavoidable, but the patriotism that he had discarded in the past was suddenly ignited again in his heart. He thought that if he ignited him one last time, it would offset his sins and merits.

But, it was obvious that he was not afraid of death at all, but Xie Sufu did not have such a fearless attitude towards death.

"Ah?! You."

"Puh!" Xie Lai spat in Lao Qiu's face, startling him.

"Old bastard Qiu, you are lacking a virtuous person, just forget it!"

"After all the dirty things you've done in the local area over the years, do you still want to be a saint?"

"Go fuck yourself!"

"Do you think that if we just pass on a message, we will be worthy of our ancestors and our families?"

"Ah, you, you have transformed yourself into a good person, and the bad reputation has become a good story!"

"I say, are you really getting old and confused, Old Qiu?"

"Can you come up with any ideas at all?"

"If I really can't rely on you, then don't blame me for not cooperating!"

"You can do it. You want to wait for death, right? Okay, you can do it."

"I can't rely on you. I'll figure it out myself!"

As he spoke, Xie Sufu became more and more anxious as Qiu Maohua talked to him.

He paced around twice and suddenly, his sharp eyes glanced at the slumped Old Qiu. Anger rose from his heart and evil thoughts formed in his heart.

The man's eyes were red, and he took a teapot and walked towards where Qiu Maohua was.

"Ah, this, this"

"You, you, what are you going to do?!" Qiu was shocked for a moment when he saw such a posture.

"do what?!"

"Lend me your brain, Old Qiu!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Qiu Maohua to react.

Suddenly, Xie Sufu raised the teapot and swung it in a circle. With a dull thud, he used all his strength and smashed the teapot on Qiu Maohua's forehead with one palm!
Immediately, the broken porcelain shattered into pieces.

Following this, Qiu Maohua was also knocked unconscious by the blow.

Several streaks of blood flowed out from the bun on his forehead, covering half of his face.

Tick, tick, tick
After a pause, Xie Sufu gasped and looked at Old Qiu in front of him with blood on his face. His disgust was evident in his words and he muttered to himself.

"reputation?!"

"Humph!"

"Reputation is useless."

"You are an old man who will never die. You have lived enough and don't care about me."

"Then don't blame me for coming up with a plan!"

"The way out is made by people." "Even if it means death, it's better than wasting time here and waiting for something to happen!"

After saying this, he paused twice and took his last breath.

Suddenly, Xie Sufu walked quickly to the door, knocked on it and shouted!
"Come here, come here!"

"Someone committed suicide!"

"Someone come quickly."

After a long while, there were hurried footsteps approaching from the outer courtyard.

Then there was the sound of a series of door locks being opened.

With a whoosh, four or five garrison soldiers holding weapons rushed in from outside the door.

After entering the room, he saw Qiu Maohua lying unconscious in the reclining chair with blood all over his face, and he was at a loss for what to do.

After looking at each other, two of them hurriedly went out of the house to call the doctor on duty in the yamen.

Half a minute later, when the doctor hurriedly asked someone to bring him in, the side room was in a mess.

Xie Sufu seized the opportunity, rolled over and jumped, and rushed out of the door!

Suddenly, the guards in the house responded.

"Oh no! That person is trying to escape!"

"Chase, stop him!"

beep—

Then the other two soldiers chased out, whistling sharp warnings.

Upon hearing the noise, Wu Sangui's garrisons in various places in the government office mobilized together.

Xie Sufu has a big body, but his martial arts skills are very poor.

Moreover, compared with Wu Sangui's garrison, there are many skilled people who can take on this job.

So Xie Sufu didn't have time to run far. As soon as he stepped into the second courtyard, he was captured alive.

This happened late at night, and Wu Sangui was alone in his study, racking his brains over the issue of military supervision.

But when I heard this comic scene, I felt even more annoyed.

So, they simply didn't bother to interrogate him, but simply tied up Xie Sufu and took him to another room for solitary confinement.

In fact, if Wu Sangui had been the one who usually led the army, Xie Sufu would have died many times over if he had behaved like this.

The reason why Wu Laosan was willing to hold his breath for the time being was also to keep something in reserve for the future events in Zhuxian Town and to increase his chances of success.

And what about Qiu Maohua, who was still lying unconscious in a pool of blood?

In order to prevent the man from dying prematurely, Wu Sangui actually called a doctor to carry him back to his room for treatment.

Try to save the patient, whether alive or dead.

It is like this, it is like this.

Stealing a chicken but losing the rice, a rotten tree and a withered willow will surely meet spring.

In a blink of an eye, it was already before midnight.

The lights were flickering. Feng Wu, the doctor in charge, who was working at the gate of the yamen, stood by the candle in front of the couch in the room, poking his arm.

Qiu Maohua was lying flat on the bed with a bandage on his forehead.

Then more than an hour passed, and at this moment, he miraculously woke up again.

It turns out that this person is from the same hometown as Feng Wu, and they have known each other for a long time.

Now, seeing that Feng Wu was the only one in the room, he hurriedly called out in a low voice.

After calling out several times, Feng Wu woke up in panic. Qiu Maohua started talking about the matter again and explained the pros and cons.

Helplessly, Feng Wu moved closer, trembling, and told him the whole story of the accident.

After hearing this, a gleam of evil light flashed in Qiu Maohua's eyes, and a plan came to him.

The man took advantage of the situation and used both coaxing and intimidation, and after a lot of spitting, he finally dragged Feng Wu into the water.

He was asked to find a reason to go out and make the announcement the next morning after the yamen opened.

And give the letter to a trusted person.

As for myself, I will continue to pretend to be dead here.

According to his thinking, in this way, the task of sending intelligence abroad might be accomplished.

As for myself, it was because of Xie Sufu that he acted so recklessly that I had a chance to be reborn.

Just pretend to be dead for a few days and you will get through this disaster.

As long as Wu Sangui was careless, he would think that Qiu Maohua was about to die and would be too lazy to take action.

Then there is a real chance that his life can be saved!
