Pretend to die

"……What's the meaning?"

Su Zheng took a long breath and said as relaxed as possible: "My mother, she has brain problems. She was deceived by a man at a young age and became pregnant with me. Later, when the man didn't want her, she went completely crazy. When I was four years old , One day when I went home, I found that there was nothing in the house. It was really nothing. The house was as empty as a coffin. I stayed there for several days. I didn’t go to school, I was hungry, and I had nothing. Eat, my grandma didn't come to pick me up until the landlord came to collect the bill."

"She abandoned me, so she is the person I hate the most. I can't abandon my daughter, or I will become the person I hate the most. Fu Bingying, do you understand?"

In just a few sentences of summary, Su Zheng deliberately omitted a lot, but he still couldn't help the acid in his teeth.These words sound boring, like a dog-blooded ethical drama, but in fact, after the woman abandoned him, all the consequences that happened pierced him like bullets, and he had to bear a lot of malice that had nothing to do with him.

This is what he hates the most.

"..." This is the first time Fu Bingying heard him talk about his mother. In the past, Su Zheng would always use various methods to explain away the past. Although Fu Bingying was curious, as long as Su Zheng didn't like him asking, he wouldn't. Ask... I didn't expect that there would be so many things behind this: "...Then you are also going to die."

"Of course I'm going to die alone." Su Zheng propped his arms on the bed and propped up his upper body: "So I want to ask you a few questions. Don't be angry with me. Believe me, I will definitely have a perfect plan."

"what do you wish to ask?"

"I know that you want to capture the quicksand cave. With your combat power, you are far better than the guards. Why is it so difficult to capture?"

"The quicksand cave's fortifications are strong, and external attacks alone will not be effective. Large stone equipment cannot be transported in the desert. If the city gate is not open for a day, we will not be able to attack for a day."

"Then did you release the captives you found?"

If it was daytime, he would definitely be able to see Fu Bingying looking at the idiot in his eyes. Fu Bingying said: "Of course not. Even if they are released, the prisoners will not want to go back."

"I understand," Su Zheng laughed and found a breakthrough: "Then let me go back, and I will open the city gate for you."

"What do you want to do?"

"They said that if they can go back alive, they will be exempted from slavery."

"..." Fu Bingying raised his eyes and said slowly, "You want to trick them into coming out? What if they don't believe you? What if they kill you directly?"

"That's what I do," Su Zheng retracted into his arms, his voice sounded like he was chanting a spell, as if he was brainwashing: "Don't you know me? As long as I think about it, no one will distrust me. There are countless suffering people there." There are people waiting for me, this is an opportunity, let me try."

Of course Fu Bingying knew how powerful he was, otherwise he wouldn't have been so dazzled by him that he lost all reason.

But he is still hesitating, if he kills Su Zheng tonight, everything will be over, and there will be no incidents, but... this Su Zheng will always carry his memory, if he can't fulfill this wish, Su Zheng will probably regret it too much.

Well now, for Su Zheng, he wants to make trouble for himself?

Fu Bingying has mixed feelings in his heart, should he satisfy Su Zheng?As before, satisfying this ignorant bitch... No, no, this is not satisfying him, Fu Bingying thought, this is an opportunity for Su Zheng to find his own death, he will be tortured to death by the people in Quicksand Cave, so So as not to get your hands dirty.

"... If you want to die, go ahead, I will take you to see the general tomorrow."

The person who came in to report put his hands on the ground, panting: "Report, sir! There is a slave who has escaped and returned." This is a guard. It stands to reason that the chief imperial officer should not perform such a big ceremony, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In this Quicksand Cave, the chief governor is the Emperor Tu. He wants everyone to kneel down, and no one dares to resist.

"Hiss." The Chief Imperial Officer was drinking tea, and he drank a little too quickly, burning his tongue.He piled the saucers on the table, and scolded: "It's a panic, what's the matter? What's going on?"

"My lord, the rebel army invaded two days ago, and the underground soldiers fought against the enemy fiercely. They specially selected a few strong and strong slaves to accompany them. The man who escaped was exactly one of the captives."

"What a mighty one to resist the enemy." The chief commander sneered, didn't he know the twists and turns underneath?But no matter what, the Daxi Kingdom will be finished sooner or later, that is to say, the life of guarding the mine will be easier... However, there are some people who don't have long eyes who repeatedly attack and overestimate themselves.

It's becoming more and more outrageous for the trash below to fill their pockets one by one, guarding the mine and killing the enemy without even showing up, and arresting slaves to make up for it.But in this desert, there is no kingly law, and these generals are not easy to move, it's really annoying...

The chief officer thought about it for a second, and suddenly said: "How did the slave escape?"

"The slave collapsed as soon as he came back. The slave has ordered someone to send him to the cremation pit. How he escaped is still unknown."

"Bold!" The chief officer slapped the table hard, his eyebrows widened: "When is it your turn to call the shots? I don't have a place to talk about the quicksand cave anymore!"

"My lord, calm down! My lord, calm down! This slave deserves death, and this slave is overstepping!"

"..." The Chief Imperial Officer had a sneer on his lips, and said, "Bring him back to me and heal him properly. I have something to ask him."

"Yes, yes! The servant will do it now!"

Su Zheng slapped him hard, without eating or drinking, he walked out of the barracks and walked back to the quicksand cave.After a few days of good life, I feel more and more hard to know the hard work of living in the wind, eating and sleeping in the open, but if you don't pretend to be more careful, you will be joking with your life.

Fortunately, there are still a few officials in the quicksand cave who still have brains.

Opening his eyes, he saw a gauze curtain swaying in the wind. He was relieved, and Su Zheng knew that he had won the bet.

A little girl with a bun head came in with a medicine bowl, saw him sitting up, and hurriedly said: "Lie down, lie down," and then shouted out the door: "Hongyun, call the doctor quickly!" Come on, he's awake."

The little girl looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a few pimples on her face, and she was thin and small. I don't know how a good little girl came to such a hellish place like Quicksand Cave.

"Drink it, it's just boiled, it's a little hot, you can hide it."

Su Zheng took the medicine bowl from her hand and took a few sips. It was extremely bitter, but it was no better than Fu Bingying's here where he could act coquettishly and complain.

"How is it?" the little girl asked.

"How about what?" Su Zheng didn't understand.

"Let me ask you, do you feel hot and cold in your lower abdomen?"

Not to mention that it was nothing, Su Zheng felt it with his heart and found that it was really true.

"What's wrong with me?" He asked, clutching his stomach.

The little girl smiled briskly, and said: "It's not a disease, it's Gu, the confusion of the border, the yin and yang qi in the body of the Gu victim is disordered, if there is no antidote, you will die within three months."

"..." Such a child with a heart of snakes and scorpions, Su Zheng recognized it: "Why did you put a voodoo on me?"

"Heaven has given you a great mandate," the little girl took the bowl from him, and said beamingly: "Congratulations, my lord, for getting rid of slavery. After a while, the chief imperial lord will come to see you in person. You must take care of it." Chance."

Chief Imperial Commander, the supreme commander of Liusha Cave.

Su Zheng lowered his head and began to build up his emotions: "...you tricked me and said congratulations to me, what exactly do you mean, why are you trying to harm me!"

"This is not to harm you, but to help you. If there is no such poison, how can the chief governor trust you?"

"You disregard human life!"

"My lord, not long ago, you were a slave. How can you talk about human life? Do your best to obey the destiny, and your lord has to weigh the importance of it."

"you……!"

"Your servant is retiring, please rest, my lord."

As soon as she left, Su Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, everything is going well, as for the poison... Anyway, there are still three months, so when I go to the Quicksand Cave, and then torture the chief officer, I'm afraid he won't come out with the antidote?

In the afternoon, the temperature gradually turned cooler, and the bright red sunset was like an oily duck egg yolk, which made the whole room crimson. The deputy was still recovering from a serious illness, and looked flustered and depressed.

There was a symbolic knock on the door, and then a man in crepe de chine satin entered. This material is rare in the desert. Su Zheng immediately realized that this man was the Chief Imperial Officer.

But he has to pretend not to know him, because he used to be just a slave, how can a slave distinguish a nobleman.

"who are you?"

The man smiled and said, "I am your savior."

"..." Su Zheng was shocked: "You ordered someone to put a voodoo on me?"

"I don't know what's good or bad. Without me, you would have been thrown into the cremation pit long ago. How can you leave a body to nourish Gu?" The man tried to put away the contempt in his eyes, but it was obviously difficult: "No one has seen the quicksand cave. I'm not polite, but since your body is not healed, you will be spared today."

"...You, you are the Chief Imperial Officer?"

"Hmph, something that doesn't wink." The man smiled, sat on the side of his bed, and said softly: "I don't blame you, after all, you are just a slave, but from now on you have to be loyal to me, don't forget yourself Who owns your life... Come on, now tell me how you escaped?"

"My lord!" Su Zheng fell to the ground suddenly, hugged his thigh, and howled, "I am willing to do my best for my lord, and I only ask my lord to be merciful and spare my daughter's life!"

"Your daughter?" The Chief Imperial Officer narrowed his eyes, does this person have a daughter?

"My lord, the little girl's name is Yin'er, and she's under ten years old. I beg your lord to spare her the work of mining."

"...It's just a small matter." The Chief Chief Officer rolled his eyes and nodded, "I'll order someone to find her later on. Now you tell me what I want to hear carefully and verbatim. listen."
