【Seventy-one】Force into Ping Village
Deng Ling smiled bitterly and said, "The file file that Ms. Jiang handed it to me all points to A Qing. Do you know why I didn't doubt the authenticity of this case file?"
Wen Zhu shook her head: "I don't know."
"I had long noticed that the case was done by people from the Deng clan. My father hurriedly urged the Tingwei Mansion to capture the murderer and released a tea customer whom I had never seen before. I knew... The person who poisoned me was either the eldest brother who had the closest blood relationship with me, or the cousins in my uncle's house. Although I never thought it was A Qing, and I was a little surprised when I saw the file, the pieces recorded in the silk book were all suspicious that I had checked but did not go on. Therefore, I immediately realized that this volume was not a fake, and the real murderer behind the poisoning case that year was A Qing."
Wen Zhu sighed lightly and said helplessly: "The lord clearly has high hopes for the general of the Protector, but he is so heartbreaking..."
Deng Ling held back all the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "Today, Yu Changqi Mountain Villa discovered Changming Jun's affairs... Don't disclose a word to his father and elder brother."
Wen Zhu asked: "Does the lord want to... look for an opportunity to fight back?"
"No." Deng Ling shook his head, opened his eyes and looked at the bamboo board in the compartment, and said firmly: "At this time, it is best to protect Deng's family. As for A Qing... In the future, I will find an opportunity to confront him and let him understand the mistakes he made. My body is already a broken body. Deng's future still needs A Qing's support, and he must not have anything to do."
Wen Zhu was surprised and surprised: "The lord...is not going to let the general of the Protector receive the punishment he deserves?"
Deng Ling said bitterly: "A Qing, this child, has been close to me since childhood and is very smart. But... I asked my father to send him to the north to experience it. He left his hometown for more than ten years and felt resentful and angry with me, which is naturally normal. I know what he is thinking, and I also know that he is afraid that I will succeed to the throne of the family and pass the position of the head of the family to A Yuan. Therefore, he is so cruel to me."
"The position of the head of the family... has always been passed down by the father and son... But I heard that the lord wanted to pass it to the general of the Protector a hundred years later? Could it be that the lord did not consider the Left Chief of the Shangshu?" Wen Zhu was puzzled.
Deng Ling shook his head again and said, "A Yuan... is too weak and cannot bear the big things. Although I was trained since I was a child, I don't know how to do it, but I don't have the wisdom to control the family. I am reckless and impulsive in doing things, and I can't end the wrong thing. Last year, in the Laba explosion, he was helpless and could not save himself, nor could he let the entire Deng family be implicated. If he was allowed to serve as the head of the family, the Deng family would decline until it fell into the clouds."
Deng Ling was full of the glory of the Deng family. As long as he could make the Deng family firmly in the clouds, he could sacrifice himself to fulfill his life.
This made Wen Zhu sigh from the bottom of his heart and admire his lord even more.
"Wen Zhu, you must instruct the soldiers not to reveal a trace of the long-term military entry into Beijing to the outside world. This matter... we should not know. At this moment... A Qing would not attack me for the time being." Deng Ling looked vicissitudes and leaned against the wooden wheel and was exhausted. "Today, the actions of Jiang and Mu were nothing more than to cause internal conflicts in the Deng family... We naturally cannot jump into the trap they set. The place where the Lingyi team was imprisoned must be replaced immediately. Tomorrow, these two girls must make big moves. We need to prevent problems before they happen."
Wen Zhu felt sad and felt distressed. He nodded silently and said, "Don't worry, lord... I will continue to give instructions."
The mountain wind suddenly blew past and suddenly hit the candlestick in front of the door. The faint candlelight disappeared in an instant, as if it was dispersed, as if it was a sign of something.
Wen Zhu was determined and vowed to protect Deng Ling's vigor even if he put his life into it.
The willow trees in front of the door swayed in the dark night. When the strong wind blew, willow catkins were floating all over the yard, scattering and splashing, forming a picture.
The next morning, Deng Ling woke up from a nightmare and sat up in sweat. Just as he was calming down, Wen Zhu suddenly kicked open the bamboo door and rushed in.
Deng Ling was startled by the loud noise, turned his head and looked out of the compartment, and pretended to be angry, "What is this doing? Such a big movement?"
Immediately afterwards, he heard footsteps of dongdong. Wen Zhu broke into the compartment, walked to the bed without saying a word, picked him up in the waist, and placed him on the wooden wheel. His years of illness made Deng Ling light and had no weight at all. A seven-foot man could easily hold him.
Seeing Wen Zhu's series of actions, Deng Ling couldn't help but say angrily: "Wen Zhu, what are you doing? How dare you be so rude?"
Wen Zhu didn't care about anything, hurriedly covered him with a few clothes, pushed the wooden wheel and walked out of the house: "Don't say anything, lord... I just passed your instructions to the soldiers last night. This morning I found... General Protector led Changming Army to cover the outer edge of Pingcun... as if he was about to take action immediately. This place must not be left for a long time. At present, only the valley in the back mountain can hide for a while, and when I find a way to escape from the outside of the village. The soldiers have already set out a way and can protect you into the valley immediately."
Deng Ling opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief over and over again: "A Qing... has surrounded Pingcun? Is he so eager to kill me?"
Without time to explain carefully, Wen Zhu ran wildly and sent Deng Ling to the secret passage. Under the protection of the soldiers, he walked towards the mountain. Everyone passed through the secret passage and came to a clearing in the mountain. Wen Zhu led everyone to walk a hundred meters before he thought he had reached a safe area, so he stopped slowly and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot. He pushed the wooden wheel aside and whispered to Deng Ling: "As soon as I got up this morning, my subordinates found that Changming's army surrounded Pingcun, so they sent someone to inquire about the cause and effect... The spy has not returned to the team yet, so please wait for a moment."
The words were about to end. A person ran over from the other end of the mountain road panting and rushed to Deng Ling and Wen Zhu.
"It's really time to say it." Wen Zhu sighed, immediately attracted the person to a corner, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any clues about what's going on?"
The spy took several breaths and said, "The subordinates sneaked into the Changming Army to inquire and inquire. Now it seems that it is because of the legend among the woodcutters in the suburbs of Beijing that they saw soldiers of the Deng Mansion sneaking into the Changqi Mountain Villa last night. The news spread to ten, ten hundred, and then it reached the ears of the Protector General. Before dawn, they received the order from the Protector General and all rushed to Pingcun."
"What?" Wen Zhu said in surprise: "How did this news spread? How could the woodcutters in the suburbs of Beijing know about Changqi Mountain Villa?"
Deng Ling did not respond, and lowered his eyes silently, gathering his fingers into fists.
The spy continued, "I don't know what's going on... In order to find out the reason, I stayed in Changming's army for a long time. But I found that they couldn't figure out why such words were heard among the woodcutters."
"It's Jiang Nu."
Just as Wen Zhu and the spy looked at each other, Deng Ling, who was silent, suddenly spoke.
Wen Zhu looked at him, frowned and said in surprise: "Jiangnu and Munu alone... how could all the woodcutters in the suburbs of Beijing know about Changqi Mountain Villa overnight?"
"Did you forget? There is a water pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing. Jiang Chengyi cannot keep people to monitor. These people... have been living in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time, and they must have some connections to spread the news." Deng Ling analyzed, and his eyes darkened: "This girl Jiang should not be underestimated. Her mind is so heavy that she is even more serious than Jiang Chengyi. She had long guessed that I would not ignore the entire Deng family and fight with A Qing at this time, so she simply used A Qing who was ignoring the inside story... to deal with me.
I guess those woodcutters' words were very sensible, making Aqing think that I wanted to fight back secretly and force him to take action now. But I don't know... How much does this Jiang girl know about Aqing's plan? If she has already figured it out... then today, you and I will most likely not be able to escape from this plain village. Then Jiang girl will definitely block our back path."
Wen Zhu took a long breath and said, "This woman's scheming is so vicious?"
"What's the situation outside Ping Village?" Deng Ling ignored his sigh and asked with his head raised.
Wen Zhu: "Changming army has entered the village, but it is still wandering downhill at this moment, so I dare not go up the mountain easily. However,... I guess in half an hour... the Protector General will rush into the mountain with his troops."
Deng Ling locked his eyebrows and looked around, staring at the personal soldiers guarding him, falling into deep thought.
When he spread his eyebrows and looked up at Wen Zhu, all the personal soldiers in front of him knelt on one knee, holding a long sword in his hand, with a firm expression. He was a little stunned and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
Wen Zhu replied: "I know... At this moment, the lord wants us to leave first. Since the lord has taken action, he will not let everyone in the valley go. In order to avoid the Taiwei's discovery, he will definitely kill us all and destroy us all. I thank my lord for saving my life, and even more for my lord's intention of cultivating me, and I am unwilling to leave in times of crisis... Please allow my lord to advance and retreat with you!"
Before he could finish his words, the personal soldiers kneeling in front of Deng Ling immediately shouted loudly: "Please allow my subordinates to advance and retreat with you!"
Deng Ling looked at him and didn't know what it felt in his heart, warm and sour, bitter and sad. Outside the Pingcun, the one who wanted to kill him was his nephew; and within the valley, those who were willing to live and die with him were these different surnames and people from the family were not.
What a ridiculous scene?
Deng Ling closed his eyes, restrained his nose and said in a trembling voice: "Okay... Today, I will live and die with you! Promise me! If the long-term army breaks in, you must focus on your own safety. Don't show off to protect me... If you leave the green mountains, why worry about no firewood?"
