As Zhong Changrong's confidant, Xiao Shan naturally knew the identity of Mu Mianhong, so he stopped attacking, but remained on guard.

Zhong Changrong closed his eyes: "Get out."

Xiao Shan also yelled: "Did you hear that, the general asked you, um, to go out."

Although he knew that Zhong Changrong had a bad attitude towards this woman, he thought that she was the one who attacked Xiliang royal court and solved Xie Yanlai's crisis. She was my savior, and Xiao Shan didn't want to speak ill of her.

Zhong Changrong opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Shan: "I tell you to get out."

Xiao Shan flicked his sleeves: "General, you are really not as caring as my young master. Don't ask me to serve you next time." After finishing speaking, he stepped out.

Zhong Changrong sighed: "I can't stand your service either."

Mu Mianhong walked over with a smile, looked at Zhong Changrong with tea residue on his face, and asked with concern, "Do you want me to wipe your face for you?"

Zhong Changrong said coldly: "No need."

But he didn't wipe it himself. His left arm was bound with a wound cloth, which was stiff and unable to move. His right arm was empty.

At the last moment of the ambush, reinforcements came and defeated the Xiliang soldiers. Zhong Changrong narrowly escaped death, but lost his right arm.

Mu Mianhong looked at his right arm and said, "I'm here to remind you to tell Ah Zhao about this."

Zhong Changrong's first thought was to refuse, he couldn't make Ah Zhao feel sorry for him, worried——

"So that she can know your situation." Mu Mianhong continued, "Deciding whether to change candidates, so as to avoid a crisis in the frontier army."

Zhong Changrong froze and took a deep breath. Yes, this is the most important thing. He is already disabled, and there may be problems with the frontier army, and this problem also involves the capital.

"Okay." He said, "Tell her immediately, including the details of my attack."

After speaking, he took a look at Kapok Red.

"You didn't tell her in advance? I thought you told her the moment something happened to me. "

Mu Mianhong smiled and said: "I don't want her to worry. Besides, there is nothing to worry about. Even if you die, I will still be here."

Zhong Changrong opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed it back.

Mu Mianhong reminded him, turned around and left from the window, and the room was quiet again, but Zhong Changrong still couldn't fall asleep, because there were noisy sounds outside, with many people walking around, mixed with shouting.

"Lieutenant Liang—"

"Lieutenant Liang, you are back—"

One after another, it seems that many people are calling this name.

Now the frontier soldier Xie Yanlai is a legend, and Liang Qiang can be called the second. Although he did not have such a terrifying feat of capturing the King of Xiliang alive, he was named a guerrilla general after only two years of hard work. Demotion is punished, but this adds to the legendary nature.

This time Zhong Changrong was saved, and Liang Qiang's reputation in the frontier army became even greater.

Liang Qiang walked into the room and saluted Zhong Changrong who was on the bed: "General, the last general has already visited in person, and the royal court of Xiliang has moved out."

He was wearing a military robe and wrapped in a cloak, and he looked normal, but Zhong Changrong knew that at that time, the young general rushed into the killing field alone, and after a fight, he was bruised and brought back.

Zhong Changrong said: "I haven't thanked Lieutenant Liang for saving my life."

Liang Qiang saluted again: "The last general dare not be a general, killing the enemy is the duty of the last general."

The room fell into silence again, Liang Qiang could feel the eyes of the general lying on the bed lingering on her body, the eyes did not have the slightest gratitude, but cold scrutiny instead.

"What a coincidence." Zhong Changrong's voice sounded again, "Why did Captain Liang save me?"

In fact, someone asked about this matter before, but they got an answer right away, because Liang Qiang kept begging Zhong Changrong to kill Deng Yi for meritorious service, but Zhong Changrong kept refusing. Being attacked, timely warning to attract reinforcements.

There is no need for Liang Qiang to say this, everyone knows it.

Liang Qiang raised her head, looked at Zhong Changrong with a calm face, and said something that not everyone knew.

"Because someone made you die," he said, "but I didn't agree to it."

Chapter 65 Self-reading

The room was like an ice cave for a moment.

Zhong Changrong's first thought was to call Zhu Yong back.

His guess has evidence.

"So, Mr. Liang, did you know your way back when you lost your way?" He said coldly.

He has a lot to pour out, since when?What have you done?You were responsible for the fall of Shipo City?But the words are swallowed when they are on the lips.

"Who is that person!" He only asked the most important thing.

Liang Qiang's expression remained the same, she didn't feel that what she said was so scary, nor did she feel that Zhong Changrong in front of her was so dangerous.

He shook his head: "It's not that I don't tell you, but that I don't know either."

have no idea?Zhong Changrong looked at him.

"Whether the general believes it or not, I'm telling the truth." Liang Qiang said, smiling, "Besides, I'm not a lost man. I saved you for myself."

Zhong Changrong sneered: "Maybe interrogation and prison can help you find out."

Liang Qiang nodded: "And I can always find something from the people around me."

He also offered to introduce the method?Zhong Changrong looked at him.

"However, the other party is not dead. If you move, he will definitely notice and cut off the clues." Liang Qiang said, laughing at herself again, "As for me, I can be put in prison for interrogation, or I can be killed directly. What's the matter, I actually don't count anything, I won't lose anything to the other party if I die, and it won't do you any good either."

He looked at Zhong Changrong.

"I'm dead, and you can't live either."

"I can't guarantee that the next time you are in danger, someone will be as soft-hearted as I am."

The room was once again condensed.

After a while, Zhong Changrong said coldly: "You are not soft-hearted, you are asking for something."

Liang Qiang nodded without denying, "Yes, General, what I want is the same. I don't want to die, and I don't want to die worthless."

Without waiting for Zhong Changrong to speak, he took a step forward and knelt down on one knee.

"Get rid of me, you won't be able to find out who is behind it, and there will be more hidden dangers around you, so please keep me, the general. I have confessed my secrets to the general, and I am no danger to the general."

The scene at this moment was something that Zhong Changrong had never imagined. He looked at the young man kneeling in front of him with unconcealable shock in his eyes.

Liang Qiang actually——

It would be like this——

It turned out to be Liang Qiang——

Although he was wary of the Liang family and his son, that was all. He had never looked at the Liang family son carefully, let alone explored what kind of person he was.

This young man was about the same age as Xie Yanlai, although his appearance was not as bright as Xie Yanlai's, but he was still very good-looking, no matter whether it was the previous hard labor or the two years of fighting on the battlefield, he did not wear away his aristocratic bearing.

That is a different attitude from Xie Yanlai.

Zhong Changrong sneered again in his heart, with a warm and decadent demeanor, no matter how happy his face was, his body was covered with a layer of haze, which the sunlight could not penetrate.

As for Xie Yanlai, no matter how gloomy his eyebrows and eyes are, his body always bursts with light, trying to tear the gloom away.

"Young Master Liang is really a bold man." He said slowly.

Liang Qiang moved her lips, wanting to tell Zhong Changrong, Miss Azhao, the queen said he was a brave man.

He stabilized his mind and did not speak, listening to Zhong Changrong continue to speak.

"...You have done such a thing, and you dare to come and negotiate with me?"

Liang Qiang shook her head: "It's not that I'm bold, I just don't want to die. Of course, if the general wants me to die, I will die immediately."

Having said that, he looked at Zhong Changrong.

"All you can get is a dead me, and I won't say a word."

Zhong Changrong said coldly, "Is this a threat?"

Liang Qiang shook her head again: "It's a fact. That person can do so many incredible things. Do you think you can find him from me? I'm just a tool. When a tool is not needed, it is nothing."

Zhong Changrong looked at him and smiled mockingly: "That man is so powerful, if you disobeyed his orders, he would still let you live?"

Liang Qiang leaned over and bowed again: "So I need the general's trust in me, so I can hide him, persuade him, and deceive him."

The room froze again.

It seems that a long time has passed, and it seems that between breaths.

Zhong Changrong said lightly, "Go out."

"Thank you General." Liang Qiang said, without saying a word, got up to leave.

After Liang Qiang walked out, the room returned to silence, and the noise outside surrounded Liang Qiang. Zhong Changrong lay on the bed with serious eyes, as if he was still thinking, and then he sighed.

"General." He murmured, "This general is really hard to do."

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to rub his forehead, only to realize that he lost his right hand and could not move his left hand for the time being.

He sighed again, then took a deep breath and called out to Koyama.

After yelling several times, Xiao Shan looked out of the window: "What does the general want, there is someone outside to listen, I am a captain, and there are many things—"

Zhong Changrong glared at him, interrupting his chatter.

"Master Zhu, please come," he said, adding, "Take the head of the Xiliang man."

Xiao Shan looked at the case on the table and muttered: "Why didn't you let him take it away just now? General, you really hurt your head." After finishing speaking, Zhong Changrong put down the window and ran away.

Zhong Changrong breathed out on the bed, not only did my head not hurt, but I also became smarter.

Zhu Yong, who hadn't gone far, came soon after entering the door without looking at the head on the table, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, general?"

It's still easy to talk to smart people, Zhong Changrong sighed, knowing that coming back to get the head was just an excuse and cover-up.

"What I said earlier." He looked at Zhu Yong, "It has been confirmed."

……

……

Although such a major event as the commander being ambushed happened, the atmosphere in the barracks was not depressed. The attackers were annihilated in time, and the soldiers and horses went to the Xiliang King City in one go, forcing the Xiliang King to get into the car and take the Xiliang people who were full of the city. Liang people migrated further west.

As long as Zhong Shuai gives an order, they can also march further west.

Seeing Liang Qiang coming on horseback, the barracks became even more ebullient.

"Lieutenant Liang!"

"Lieutenant Liang, why are we going to fight the King of Xiliang!"

"Cut off an arm of the King of Xiliang!"

Hearing these shouts, Liang Qiang smiled: "I met Zhong Shuai just now, and Zhong Shuai said that he will personally take everyone to do this."

The soldiers cheered.

Liang Qiang jumped off her horse and walked into the wounded soldiers' camp amid cheers. Seeing him coming in, the soldiers in the wounded soldiers' camp also warmly greeted him.

"Lieutenant Liang is here."

"Your companion is much better."

Liang Qiang was demoted from a guerrilla general to a school lieutenant, and lost the right to lead [-] soldiers, but her own soldiers still followed. In the previous battle to aid General Zhong, many people were killed or injured.

Liang Qiang thanked them, and walked into a room under everyone's watch.

There were only two beds in this room, on which two soldiers seemed to be asleep.

"I think it's right for me to do this." Liang Qiang looked at them and said directly.

One of the soldiers opened his eyes and smiled: "What? Does Mr. Liang want a reward?"

Liang Qiang didn't care about his ridicule, and said: "Just like I said earlier that keeping my arm won't affect the transaction between us, so keeping Zhong Changrong's life won't affect what we're going to do. Zhong Changrong is dead. , It is not easy to inherit everything from him, and it will attract more people to fight for it. It is better to let him live, and I won his trust and be reused by him, which is even easier."

The soldier looked cold: "Young Master Liang, you only need to do things and how to do them, you don't need to think about it."

"Young Master Liang." Another soldier also opened his eyes, and said calmly, "Go and arrange funeral affairs, don't waste time here."

They wanted to kill Liang Qiang in that scuffle, but they were not in charge of being involved in the fight. Those crazy Xiliang soldiers became a human wall protecting Liang Qiang.

But it doesn't matter, there are many ways to die alone.

Liang Qiang, traitor, you are doomed.
