Chapter 120 He Zudao
Wu Dechang knelt outside the door. The oil lamp hanging on the black wall behind him stretched his shadow thin and long on the opposite wall.
Tilting his head and sticking out his tongue, Wu De looked at the movements of the shadow on the wall and smiled.
The door opened silently, and He Binghu appeared at the door with a smile on his face. Wu De quickly knelt straight and his expression became solemn.
“You are so generous!” He Kuan threw down his sleeves and said, “Do you know how much trouble you have brought to Heibingtai?”
"It's my subordinate's fault!" Wu De accepted the criticism humbly.
“To carry out the errand assigned by Dayin like this, and only kneel down as a punishment, it seems that Dayin really likes you!” He Bing’s face showed a rare look of envy. "Go in!"
"Deputy Yin, where are you going? Should I go to see Dayin alone?" Wu De felt guilty.
"What am I going to do? I'm going to wipe your ass!" He Bing showed a headache expression, put his hands behind his back, kicked and stomped away.
Wu De looked at his back and didn't think he meant to embarrass himself.
In fact, He Bing is very happy.
Anyway, this time Black Ice Platform made everyone regain their respect for him.
Earlier, the word "simple" could no longer describe their attitude towards Heibingtai.
Hmph, so what?
The commotion in the court is just a commotion!
Are you saying that our Heibingtai kills people?
Bring out the evidence!
If you can’t show it, it’s slander and false accusation.
He Bing doesn't have the guts to do such a thing, but he is very good at stretching.
Dayin is responsible for such things.
Dayin is still alive!
Wu De walked into the room step by step.
What greeted him was Dayin Kou Zhong’s butt.
Kou Zhong is facing inside and seems to be sleeping!
Wu De walked over honestly and knelt in front of the bed.
"Heibingtai's methods of assassinating people range from one thousand to eight hundred." Kou Zhong's voice reached his ears: "Although Heibingtai is not as good as before, the talents gathered in the capital are enough to instantly kill anyone in the world. Gang, why do you want to make this matter so dramatic?"
"My subordinates have a problem in their hearts, and it's hard to calm down!" Wu De swallowed and said, "This matter is a matter of personal responsibility. The investigation was carried out by my subordinates from beginning to end. But in the past, Da Yin did not allow me to move, so the anger in my heart became deeper and deeper. This time, when I have the opportunity to do something, my subordinates want them to die clearly and assassinate them. , leaving them confused and feeling uncomfortable."
There was a sound of turning over on the couch, Wu De looked up and saw a pair of eyes burning like will-o'-the-wisps.
"You actually broke through?" Kou Zhong said with some surprise: "I originally thought you would be stuck for several more years, but it is a good thing. I have another ninth-grade Xuanyuan in Black Ice Platform."< br>
"My subordinates are determined to fight hard and make Chang'an red with their blood. My heart aches, but I don't expect that the shackles will be released!" Wu De said. "I just brought you trouble, Dayin. I am willing to accept any punishment!"
"Why should I punish you?" Kou Zhong laughed: "I made you kneel outside because you didn't tell me before you did this. I can forgive you for hiding it from He Bing, but you can be forgiven for hiding it from me." It makes me very angry!"
"I'm afraid that if something happens, my subordinates will be responsible for it alone, so I don't have to involve Dayin and Deputy Yin!" Wu De said quickly.
Kou Zhong laughed, and the shrill laughter echoed in the room.
"Implicated? Such nonsense? Just kill him. Even if the ancestor of the Liu family stood in front of me and I wanted to kill his great-great-grandson, I would stab him with a knife. He still wouldn't dare to fart. One! Good kill. This time I can regain my authority in the Black Ice Platform! Stop working in the Criminal Department and come back!"
"I obey, but I don't know what my subordinates will be responsible for after coming back? ”
"Temporarily take up the post of inspector!" Kou Zhong said: "There is nothing that cannot be supervised!"
"Huh?" Wu De looked up at Kou Zhong in shock.
"Heibingtai needs to be renovated. The city of Chang'an is relatively clean, but outside, what needs to be cleaned up must be cleaned up vigorously. Those who need to be killed should be killed. Some who cannot be killed, let them go!"
"Understood!" Wu De suppressed the joy in his heart. With this Shangfang sword, he wanted to do something, but it was too simple.
“Go to the fourth floor and carry He Zudao away!” Kou Zhong pointed to the top of his head and said: “Next, those guys who are hiding will definitely take action and take He Zudao to the south. , Let’s form a usable army! Since someone wants to give us a good look, we will naturally use the force of thunder to sweep away the fallen leaves.”
"Yes!" Wu De kowtowed, stood up, walked backwards out of the house, and the moment he closed the door, Wu De could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
I really didn’t expect that this time I thought my reckless behavior could have such a good effect.
The fifth underground floor is the residence of Dayin Kou Zhong, and the fourth underground floor is the cell where important prisoners are held in Heibingtai.
The stone door several feet thick slowly retracted into the wall in front of Wu De's eyes. The long alleyway and the cold, shining green lights reflected people like ghosts.
If someone is imprisoned here, the chance of getting out is basically very low.
Wu De walked to the second cell on the right, and an old soldier who was almost unable to stand up opened the cell door for him.
"General He!" Wu De stood at the door and looked at a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged inside. The Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, bulbous nose, wide ears, and big mouth, just looking at the appearance, they are exactly the same as the old general He Qiku. They are really carved from the same mold.
Even in prison, he was still neatly dressed and his hair was combed meticulously.
This is an extremely self-disciplined person.
It's so hard to become famous very late, get married very late, and have children even later.
His son He Zudao was born when he was forty-five years old.
Forty-five years old, for ordinary people, he has basically become a grandfather, or is already waiting at home to die. The average life span of Da Qin is only fifty years old.
But for He Qiku, it was just the beginning of his meteoric rise in career.
At the age of fifty, he became the commander of the left camp of the Forbidden Army.
He Zudao is thirty-five years old this year, which is when a person is most young and powerful.
Seeing Wu De, He Zudao showed a smile on his face.
"Brother Wu, can I go out?"
He Qiku has served as the commander of the southern town army for more than 20 years. The southern town army is full of generals from all walks of life. Last year, the soldiers If defeated, why should the imperial court return to the court to report on its duties in such a painful and insignificant way?
It is because although He Zudao is young, his personal martial arts cultivation and military command ability are closely matched by his father's, and he has huge influence among the southern army.
No matter how hard it is to return, why there is no way to return, then the southern army still belongs to his family.
He Zudao is unwilling to come back.
One person returns to show the court their loyalty to the He family, and the other person stays to put pressure on the court appropriately. This is the most perfect strategy.
You know, at that time Kou Zhong directly sent someone to tell He Qiku that not to return to Chang'an was to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty.
But he couldn't defeat his father. Not only did He Qiku come back, but he also brought him back with him.
In the next year, the southern army was just as many people hoped. The soldiers were disheartened, some were disappointed, some were angry, some betrayed, and some left.
One year is enough for a lot of things to happen.
"The Southern Suppression Army is no longer the Southern Suppression Army in the past!" Wu De said directly.
"As long as I go back, it won't take long to rebuild a southern army!" He Zudao said with confidence.
Wu De sighed: "One year is enough to change things and people. If you return to the Southern Army, I am afraid that the Southern Army will be divided again. That will make their strength worse. Down a notch”
The smile on He Zudao's face disappeared: "What does Brother Wu mean?"
"What Dayin means is, General He, just take away a few thousand completely trustworthy people from the Southern Army. I'm afraid we'll have to fight a few battles, both big and small." Wu De said with a smile.
“Understood!” He Zudao nodded and said, “Start again and build a new army?”
“Let’s talk as we walk!” Wu De smiled and let the door open.
He Zudao stepped out of the cell door and strode outward without even looking back.
"Some time ago, I went to the outside of the pass and saw the army outside the pass for the first time!" Wu De said: "General He, with all due respect, the powerful army outside the pass is much stronger than your southern town army. I said this is still an ordinary army outside the pass He Zudao stopped, tightened his body slightly, clenched his fists, relaxed again, and continued to move forward.
"This is also Dayin's original intention to reorganize the new army!" Wu De followed closely beside him and said: "Because it is meaningless just to revive the southern army."
< br>"Is Linghuye going to rebel?"
"That's not the case!" Wu De did not tell He Zudao the truth: "I just saw such an army but it cannot be controlled by the imperial court. No one has any idea. Isn't it? As long as Brother He can train three to five thousand soldiers like this, resources will flow to you in an endless stream."
"I will!" He Zudao nodded.
"Let's go, I'll accompany you home! The old general has had a hard time these past two years!" Wu De said. "Not only did you come out, but you also regained control of the army. For the old general, this is a happy event!"
While speaking, the two of them had already walked out of the black ice platform. He Zudao narrowed his eyes. Some were not used to the dazzling light outside. It took him a long time to adapt, but he turned sideways and bowed to Wu De beside him: "I won't go back. Brother Wu, please tell my father for me. Please take care of yourself, father. When I finish training this army, I will go back."
Wu De was startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, like father, like son. It’s the same stubbornness”
“I’m different from him”
He Zudao shook his head, affirming.
