Chapter 175 Chen Mo: You Can Leave Now

At this time, Xia Zhining realized that she had stepped into a trap.

The peace and bustle in Pingting County made her forget that the other party was still a rebel, and they were the family members of the Qingzhou prefect. Her father died for the country and was loyal to the country to prove his reputation. If she, the daughter, would join the rebels To attack the imperial court would not be a kind of blasphemy against his father.

A hundred years later, how could she have the face to meet her father underground?

"Have you already promised him?" Xia Zhiqing asked when she saw her sister who had fallen silent.

Xia Zhining nodded, then rushed out of the room angrily, saying, "I'll go find that bastard to settle the score."

She has realized that she was tricked by the other party.

Main hall.

Chen Mo was discussing with Geng Songfu about sending troops.

Since we do not plan to obtain food from Yuan Youchun, we must now raise food and fodder for sending troops on August 1.

The amount of food and grass is related to the strength of the troops.

At present, Chen Mo has more than 5,000 troops in his hands, including Shenyong Guards, Shenwu Guards, and reserves.

Chen Mo plans to send two thousand troops, including 800 troops from Shenyong Guard and 1,200 troops from Shenwu Guard.

Yuan Youchun did not know the specific number of troops in his hands. When he first attacked Pingting County, the number reported by Chen Mo was less than 1,000. Now he has sent 2,000 troops, and he has actively cooperated.

At the same time, the army goes first, intelligence is the most important, and spies can now be sent to explore around Quanyang County.

Regarding this point, Zhang He had something to say. Because they had done business with the Zhu family in Quanyang County before, they did not stop until Chen Mo took a concubine. It can be said that they already know Quanyang County relatively well.

Speaking of the Zhu family, Geng Songfu asked if the Zhu family could be developed into our internal agents, so that it would be much easier to attack Quanyang County.

Chen Mo said: "Zhu Yongzhi ran away with his family a long time ago. The last time he sent someone to take part in concubinage, he said goodbye."

A private salt dealer like the Zhu family, who has been doing business for decades, is much better informed than him, and has an extremely keen grasp of the current situation, so how could he still stop there.

"Ms. Xia, the county magistrate is discussing matters with the county magistrate. You are not allowed to go there."

Suddenly, Sun Meng's voice sounded, and he stopped Xia Zhining.

"Go away." Xia Zhi said angrily.

"Let her come over." Chen Mo said.

"Miss Xia, please." Sun Meng asked Xia Zhining to come over.

"Zhining, come here and call Uncle Geng." Chen Mo said in the tone of a man like Xia Zhining, then he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said to Geng Songfu: "I wonder if Geng County Cheng still recognizes her?"

"Oh?" Geng Songfu was stunned and looked up.

Xia Zhining originally wanted to question Chen Mo, but when she saw a familiar person, she was still very decent in front of her elders and called out very politely: "Uncle Geng."

"Who is this girl?" Geng Songfu looked at Xia Zhining carefully. His eyebrows looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. After all, how old was Xia Zhining when he first met her.

"Uncle Geng, it's me, Xia Zhining, my father Xia Liangqing, and I am his second daughter." Xia Zhining was choked up when she mentioned her father's voice.

"You are Brother Liangqing's beloved daughter?!"

Hearing this, Geng Songfu was stunned for a moment. No wonder his facial features were so familiar. When he first learned that Xia Liangqing had died for his country, he felt sad for a long time. After all, the other party's behavior was very admirable to scholars.

But in his heart, since Nanyang fell, Xia Liangqing's family might not be able to escape, but he didn't expect to be alive.

Immediately afterwards, Geng Songfu was happy. The daughter of his friend and classmate was still alive. This was a happy thing, but he was not happy for long. He sighed again: "The world is changing so fast. I remember when I passed by Nanyang when I was demoted. , and even chatted over wine with Brother Liangqing, I didn’t expect it to happen now.”

"When my father was alive, he often mentioned you, Geng Bofu. He said that you were strong and unyielding, unafraid of power, and that you were a rare clean stream in the court." Xia Zhining said.

"Don't stand, sit and chat." Chen Mo pulled Xia Zhining to sit down, sitting next to him.

Xia Zhining glanced at Chen Mo.

"Alas, the Holy One has been deceived and the court is corrupt. Even if I have this body of iron, what's the use of it?" Geng Songfu said: "But niece Zhining, why are you in Pingting County? If I remember correctly, you should There is also a twin sister, where is she?"

"Sister, she is in the backyard. As for why she is in Pingting County, it is a long story." When she said this, Xia Zhining glanced at Chen Mo.

Geng Songfu took a look at the two of them, and based on the tone of Chen Mo's words just now, he already knew something in his heart.

With Xia Zhining's beauty and living in the backyard of the Yamen, isn't this a perfect place to hide your beauty in a golden house?

Of course, he didn't care how the two parties met, but based on his current understanding of Chen Mo, if the two sisters followed Chen Mo, it would be a good destination.

Geng Songfu knew that the two of them had something to say, so he left space for them and retreated.

After Geng Songfu left, Chen Mo took a sip of tea, then handed it to Xia Zhining's mouth and said, "I came here angrily, what happened?"

Xia Zhining didn't take Chen Mo's advice and pushed it away. Fortunately, Chen Mo held it steady and didn't spill it. She glared at him and said, "I knew you bastard didn't have any good stuff in your belly. You are a rebel, and I The Xia family is a loyal member of the imperial court. If you let me go to battle with you to kill the enemy, don't you want me to become a rebel like you? Then even if I want to leave, I won't be able to leave, which is exactly what you want."

"That's right."

Chen Mo put down the tea cup, then pulled the other person into his arms, hugged him tightly, and immediately said: "I don't want to let you go from me, but I can't break my promise, so I had to take this step, but My intention was never to harm you, just because I am so obsessed with you that I dare not think about how I would live without you."

After hearing such numb words, Xia Zhining, who was still struggling fiercely, gradually weakened in resistance, and the numb feeling before once again lingered throughout her body.

After a while, she suppressed her chaotic and complicated thoughts and said angrily: "Do you think I will believe your lies?"

"Alas." Chen Mo sighed heavily and said, "I didn't expect that you still wouldn't believe me at this time. I'm doing this all for your own good."

"You hurt me so much and you say it's for my own good?"

"Of course, your father was a loyal member of the court, but how did the court treat your father? Qingzhou had long been in crisis and was isolated and helpless, but the court did not save him, and the kings in the south did not send troops to help. Otherwise, how could your father die?

Also, you said you wanted to order the troops to form and go into battle to kill the enemy. I will do my best to satisfy you, but you doubt me. If you side with the imperial court, will the imperial court allow you to lead the troops?

Secondly, in the eyes of the court, you, like your father, are no longer in this world. I have never revealed your identity in the county. Even if you follow me to kill the enemy, the enemy will not be able to recognize you. In this way, Come, I have never harmed you.

Finally, do you know how attractive you are to the senior officials of the Tianshi Army? Do you know how helpful you are to them? But I am protecting you under tremendous pressure. As a result, in the end, you still don’t believe me over and over again. "

Chen Mo let go of Xia Zhining, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then laughed at himself and said, "My mother is also an idiot, to be obsessed with an enemy. That's all. If you don't believe it, then let's go. Leave Pingting County with your sister, I won’t keep you here anymore.”

After saying that, he got up and said: "Looking at the old friendship between you and me, I would like to remind you one last thing, it is best to leave after the autumn. Now, all the way to the south are spies from the Tianshi Army. If it falls into their hands, you should know what will happen."

After that, he also told Sun Meng that if they wanted to leave, they should not stop them.

Sun Meng understood.

Chen Motou would not leave either.

It's not too early now, it's time to leave the office.

Xia Zhining looked at Chen Mo's back, stunned.

The other party's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting her mind, echoing for a long time and unable to dissipate.

Involuntarily, Xia Zhining felt that her eyes were sore and she wanted to cry. Every word of the young man seemed to come from the heart and was full of emotion.

She suddenly regretted why she had said such words.

He was willing to let himself go.

But Xia Zhining was not happy at all.

The other party was willing to let them leave before their debts were paid off. One can imagine how disappointed the other party was in them.

Maybe what he said is true.

He really likes himself.

What he cares about is not the one hundred whips per se, but himself.

I just want to keep myself by his side in this way.

Now that he is disappointed with himself, there is no need for this approach to exist anymore.

Her mind was confused.

When she returned to the wing, Xia Zhining couldn't hold back any longer and cried.

Xia Zhiqing was stunned when she saw this scene.

Enduring the pain in his body, he wrapped himself in a quilt and walked out of the bed. He came to Xia Zhining and said anxiously: "Zhining, what's wrong with you? Is he bullying you again?"

"No." Xia Zhining shook her head and actually reflected on her own problem and said, "Sister, I seem to have misunderstood him."

Xia Zhiqing was stunned.

Xia Zhining continued: "Sister, I don't want revenge."

Xia Zhiqing was stunned again.

"Sister, we can leave, he promised to let us go." Xia Zhining said.

Xia Zhiqing was stunned again and again.

A few short sentences made Xia Zhiqing want to ask, who am I? where am I? what happened?

Xia Zhiqing quickly asked what happened, but Xia Zhining didn't want to say.

Should he tell his sister that he is not interested in you at all, but in me?

So, sister, which substitute are you?

Perhaps in my sister's eyes, this kind of thing is absolutely unbelievable and unbelievable.

Besides, it's hard for her to say this kind of thing.

"Sister, don't ask, just know that we can leave now." After Xia Zhining finished speaking, she sat down on the bed, lowered her head and hugged her knees, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xia Zhiqing: "..."
