The fire went out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Including the Janissaries who were ambushed near Yiguang Gate.
When they were shouting for water in the distance before, the people hiding in the dark suddenly lost their temper. They were afraid that the fire would come to this place, and they were also worried that Liu Dan would escape in the chaos.
When the danger passed, the person in charge of investigating the situation said that there was no movement at the General's Mansion, which was very abnormal.
It stands to reason that there is such a strong wind outside, and there is still a fire in the distance. Even if you don't run away, you should come out to see it!
"Could it be that he has already run away?" The deputy commander who led the Guards Corps said to himself.
He is not a close associate of Prime Minister Zhang. In fact, the order he received was that the bandit general Liu Dan harbored rebellion, colluded with bandits in the rivers and lakes, and was also involved in a series of cases such as the destruction of the imperial mausoleum.
Liu Dan and his personal soldiers were born in the northern Xinjiang army and Han, and they were brave and good at fighting. The deputy commander did not want to fall into trouble, so he followed the advice of his capable subordinates and brought all the crossbows he could deploy, trying to be foolproof and to catch rebellion and make merit.
Because the news was blocked, the deputy commander has been patrolling the outer city. He didn't even know that the emperor Lu Zhang was seriously injured and comatose, and he thought that this was a good opportunity to win the holy family.
"...It's impossible to run away. No one appeared on this street after nightfall, and even the watchman was impersonated by our people! Unless that General Liu is a moth in the sky or a mouse in the ground, he can't be unknowingly. to escape the eyes of the brethren."
"Then tell me, why is there no movement inside?" The deputy commander stared at his subordinates.
The person who answered was also worried, and hesitantly said, "The wind is so strong that even the dead are woken up, are they already drunk enough to lose consciousness—"
"Nonsense!" the deputy commander said angrily.
The situation in the capital is so tense, how big of a heart do you dare to drink and get drunk
"Xiaowei Fei, what do you think?"
The capable subordinate rolled his eyes and said, "This subordinate thinks this is an empty city plan!"
"How?" The deputy commander was taken aback.
"What is true is what is true, what is true is false. They must have guessed that there is an ambush outside, but they don't know how many people there are, and they don't know which side is easy to break through, so they wait for us to be impatient. As long as we move, they will We can take advantage of the chaos to find a way to break through the encirclement, so we can’t act rashly.”
The deputy commander nodded thoughtfully.
Fei Xiaowei, his capable subordinate, was quietly relieved. The deputy commander came for meritorious service, but he was not.
Zhang Xiang wanted Liu Dan's life. This is what the Minister of War said. As a person who had served Zhang Zhang early, Captain Fei just took the opportunity of being stationed in the imperial city to spread news, such as who the emperor summoned, who went to see the emperor, etc. , the same words can be done by others, Fei Xiaowei has never been able to get the opportunity to succeed.
Just as the deputy commander was looking forward to making meritorious deeds to gain the opportunity to be promoted to rank, Captain Fei also wanted to be promoted, but he was more flexible and chose to go to powerful courtiers. This behavior is not strange, many people do it.
To be remembered by Zhang Xiang, Fei Xiaowei is already very impressive. He can say what others like to hear, and he knows how to do things to be appreciated by his boss.
The deputy commander wants to stabilize people's hearts.
In the middle of the night, it was almost two hours after squatting here, and the prey didn't move at all, and everyone was inevitably restless.
"According to my subordinates, we must keep our composure and not relax for a moment. General Liu must be more anxious than us."
"good."
The deputy commander scolded in a low voice, "All orders will be passed on. If something breaks, be careful of your own skin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gust of wind in his ears, the deputy commander was pushed away, and his teeth were knocked against the wall.
Immediately after, there was a crisp sound, the sound of tiles falling.
The deputy commander turned his head angrily and found that there was a pile of broken tiles where he was standing. If he hadn't been pushed away just now, he would probably be lying down by now.
"What's the matter?" The vice commander's mouth was full of blood, and his eyes narrowed in pain.
"Yes, the wind blows..."
The nearby janissaries did not dare to speak, but they all checked the eaves above their heads.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the deputy commander immediately stopped: "Squat back, are you afraid that others will not know where the ambush is?"
Everyone froze for a while, and when the deputy commander turned his head, they continued to stretch out their hands to push the tiles, or stay away from the wall, and no longer hid as tightly as before.
The deputy commander is not stupid, he soon discovered that his subordinates were yang and yin.
He picked up a janitor in a rage, and was about to go down, when Captain Fei quickly took a step forward and strongly advised: "The commander calms down and the voice is too loud to attract attention from there. Besides, it is pitch-black, even if Someone in the General's Mansion is staring, but you can't see it!"
The deputy commander gave Fei Xiaowei a stern look. The only person standing behind him was Xiaowei Fei. Although the other party just pushed him with a quick hand, so that he could avoid the bad luck of being smashed by a tile, but this push Also too harsh.
His mouth was full of blood, and when he reached out to touch it, it seemed that his chin was also bruised.
Fei Xiaowei was very inexplicable. He couldn't figure out what the deputy commander meant. His mind was flexible, and he quickly thought of the feat of the deputy commander who was standing well just now, and suddenly the soles of his feet slipped and his chin hit the wall.
Others thought it was an accident because the deputy commander couldn't dodge, but Fei Xiaowei saw it for real. The moment the tile loosened, the deputy commander suddenly rushed forward, but he just avoided the tile.
Fei Xiaowei was still muttering about the vice-commander's luck in his heart, and now he was so stunned that he couldn't help but feel indignant and indignant. What's the matter, when someone saw the flat wrestling, he became angry and embarrassed? This deputy commander may not be too careful!
The two of them were thinking about each other and didn't say a word.
In the dark night, because he was not afraid of being seen, his expression was very obvious.
The ink carp sitting on the eaves of the high pavilion of an official mansion next to him: "..."
Doctor Mo turned his head silently, Meng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the guards below with a half-smile.
The tiles fell to the ground and pushed people in the air - this was all done by Meng Guoshi.
Mo Li initially thought that Meng Qi was going to teach the deputy commander a lesson and scare him, but then the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became. In a blink of an eye, the deputy commander became separated from his subordinates. Mo Li thought for a while before he understood what was going on. matter.
So, the human mind is such a complicated thing
Although Mo Li didn't know that the deputy commander's dissatisfaction was "pushed" so hard, why he didn't say it directly, but using people's hearts is really a terrible thing, and what's even more terrible is that the people behind the scenes are not deliberately targeting them.
- It's casual, it's a casual wave to see them not pleasing to the eye.
Mo Li's mood was very complicated. He thought he would have a disapproving opinion. After all, this was against the way of a gentleman, but when he turned his head and saw Meng Qi's face, his thoughts instantly became helpless.
Rather than playing tricks on people's hearts, Meng Qi was more likely to cause them some trouble.
This kind of maliciousness is the same as stealing rice jars and stealing official uniforms.
"They also obey orders, how did they provoke you?" Mo Li asked helplessly.
"It's the Guards who really obey orders. The deputy commander is not the captain, especially the captain." Meng Qi approached Mo Li and said lazily, "Since someone wants Liu Dan's life, And when it comes to the secrets of military rations or even deeper in the northern Xinjiang, then he will definitely send people he trusts to listen to the tone of their words, the deputy commander does not seem to know the inside story, but the captain is very suspicious."
"So... to alienate them?"
Meng Qi laughed when he heard the words and said, "This can be called alienation, it's just a small estrangement. My purpose is not this, but to make them not so close. Doctor, people are like this, no matter what happens, they will be punished in advance. The influence of this person's opinion. The captain is very good at talking, but as long as the deputy commander has an opinion on him, he will keep an eye on him. The captain wants to kill Liu Dan secretly, and then pretends to be an accident and makes the deputy commander bear the guilt. It will be so easy."
After all, Liu Dan is a money bag. He is still the landlord and can't die.
Meng Qi decided to help reluctantly.
Doctor Mo was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "It's not just people like this."
"… "
Meng Qi paused and turned to look at the ink carp blankly.
"There may be no monsters in the world, and people won't turn into ghosts after death. I don't know what ghosts think, but the dragon veins will be biased in my heart. So in our eyes, the bad is the worse, and the good..."
Even though he clearly violated his principles of dealing with the world, he still couldn't help making excuses for him in his heart.
After listening to the explanation, it was determined that the fat mouse was really not playing with people's hearts, but was saving people's layout, and the sudden joy was more like proving that his vision was right.
What people love is what they love, and what they hate is what they hate.
This is a sentence that Mo Li has long known, and Mr. Qin taught it when he was reading and literate.
People will always favor those they are close to, and they will not be fair to those they hate. Mo Li doesn't think that is the case. Little junior brother Tang Xiaotang accidentally got into trouble while playing with the children next door and broke things. Mo Li would not subconsciously think that it was definitely not Tang Xiaotang's fault, but that someone else brought down the always well-behaved junior brother.
Qin Lu and the magistrate Xue started to fight after talking about pharmacology for a while. Mo Li would not think that the reason must be on the teacher's side because his teacher was a doctor and the magistrate Xue was a master of poison.
He always had to listen to the whole process and listen to everyone's words before he was sure to come to a conclusion.
This is the habit of a doctor. You cannot rely on years of experience to prescribe a prescription for a patient without reading it carefully. You cannot listen to the patient's conclusion of what disease he thinks he has, or listen to the patient's oral condition.
It is a taboo for doctors to come to a conclusion without a diagnosis.
If you can't see the fisherman's leg pain, you can conclude that he has rheumatism, and if you can't see the dark circles around the eyes of the playboy, it is determined that this is due to excessive indulgence of kidney deficiency and yang failure.
Mo Li always thought that he was calm and would not become like that.
Now he's not sure.
In a trance, Mo Li suddenly remembered that Mr. Qin said that it is difficult for doctors not only to heal themselves, but also to diagnose and treat people close to them.
It's easy to worry about gains and losses, and you can't decide on a prescription. Taking more medicine is afraid that your body won't be able to bear it, and using less medicine feels that it won't be cured.
It turned out to be such a feeling.
Mo Li is not good at concealing his inner thoughts. When he is calm, no one can see what he is thinking, even Meng Qi.
But when his emotions were up and down, and the culprit behind all this was in front of him, Mo Li stared at Meng Qi, his eyes revealing too many thoughts.
Meng Qi: "..."
I don't know what happened, let alone what the doctor was thinking, but suddenly I realized that the doctor's happiness was not an illusion.
It's not really an illusion!
The author has something to say:
