Chapter 219: Game within a Game
Qin Zheng suddenly said to the old man: "Go down!"
The old man looked at Xia Bitu.
Xia Bitu nodded.
The old man left.
"Qin Zheng..." Xia Bitu wanted to explain that this was definitely not his idea.
Just as he opened his mouth, Qin Zheng waved his hand and said, "Xia Tianjiao killed Qu Zhaoming not because of coercion from that person, nor was it your instruction, but Cheng Kun.
How could Cheng Kun dare to leave Qu Zhaoming, a wanted criminal, behind when Qu Zhengzhuo rebelled? He had no idea that person existed and was only trying to protect himself. After all, with Qu Zhengzhuo dead, he was no longer of any use.
The reason why I let Xia Tianjiao take action is simply because I want your disciples to see how you treat them. This is murderous and heartbreaking!"
"Qin Zheng..." Xia Bitu's eyes were filled with tears.
He thought he could never clear himself of the blame.
"I was wrong. I didn't want Tian Jiao to know too much, but Cheng Kun took advantage of it. If I had explained everything to Tian Jiao, this wouldn't have happened."
Qin Zheng nodded: "You are wrong. No iron-blooded soldier will allow treason to exist."
Xia Bitu gnashed his teeth and said, "That man is so calculating! He's really trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Even I was fooled."
Qin Zheng sighed, "Even if Qu Zhaoming doesn't join the Northern Border Army, he will die because he can't escape the court's wanted list. Even if he joins the Northern Border Army, he will die because the soldiers won't tolerate him.
That's why I asked you to go and save him. Because your son is the God of War in the North, and a single word could save a life. I didn't expect you to even think of this, not only didn't tell him the truth, but also mobilized those useless undercover agents of yours!"
Qin Zheng was sure that Xia Bitu's undercover agent in the Northern Border Army was the executor of the rescue, because since it was not Xia Tianjiao who went to rescue Qu Zhengzhuo, the Northern Border Army must have Xia Bitu's undercover agent!
Xia Bitu's face flushed. "I thought I could get Qu Zhaoming out by planting an undercover agent in the Northern Army. I also didn't want Tian Jiao to get too involved."
In fact, Tian Jiao didn't know many things. Even when he was controlled by that person, I only said that he was born with the poison. That's why, when he was declared dead that year, no one doubted it!
Qin Zheng frowned. "He was poisoned since birth? Were you controlled by that person back then?"
Xia Bitu nodded.
Qin Zheng asked again, "Was Qu Zhengzhuo controlled later? When was Qu Zhaoming poisoned?"
Xia Bitu sighed, "Ten years ago, that person probably saw that I was difficult to deal with, but he couldn't bear to kill Tian Jiao to threaten me, so he controlled Qu Zhengzhuo. Speaking of which, Qu Zhengzhuo was harmed by me, so I took the initiative to volunteer to save Qu Zhaoming!"
Qin Zheng nodded and asked, "This poison is invisible and cannot be seen on the surface. Do you know what the symptoms are when it attacks?"
Xia Bitu remembered the poison vividly. He shuddered and said, "It attacks once a year. When it's not attacking, nothing happens. But when it does, the itching becomes unbearable, forcing you to scratch. I saw with my own eyes a martial artist who, after an attack, scratched himself until only bones remained. Finally, he ripped out his own heart and crushed it... only then did he find relief."
Qin Zhengdu shuddered: "How vicious!"
Xia Bitu clenched his fists and said angrily, "So, as a mother, who can bear to see their children suffer like this? You can only surrender!"
Qin Zheng also felt like he had too much energy to use. He was hiding too well.
Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "What should we do next?"
He really had no idea what to do and was very worried about Xia Tianjiao's safety.
Qin Zheng: "Send Qu Zhaoming's body to Hongtong County. As long as we can find the antidote, that person's plan will be thwarted..."
Xia Bitu nodded: "I'll do it."
Qin Zheng stood up: "Let me do it. If you lose the body, I can only use your son for the experiment."
Xia Bitu's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Qin Zheng in fear: "You, you, you are in the Northern Army..."
Qin Zheng interrupted him: "There are some things that Xia Tianjiao should be told. You will kill him if you do this. If he doesn't know, he will be less wary of this."
Xia Bitu shuddered: "I know."
Qin Zheng left.
Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng's back, his eyes becoming more fearful.
He actually has an undercover agent in the Northern Army?
This is Qin Zheng, his undercover agent, how could he be bad?
Suddenly, Xia Bitu's eyes widened and his face turned pale.
Since Qin Zheng has an undercover agent who is stronger than his, why did he agree to let him take action?
Wouldn't it be safer to do it yourself?
Qin Zheng never wanted Qu Zhaoming to live?
He, Xia Bitu, acted as the executioner?
Given Qin Zheng's intelligence, he certainly wouldn't promise Qu Zhengzhuo that he could rescue the person. He would probably just try his best.
In this case, Qin Zheng's trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife would not violate his promise?
Qin Zheng's methods are comparable to that man's!
broken!
Xia Bitu's expression changed again.
This time he rescued Qu Zhengzhuo, but he mobilized his undercover agent who had been lurking in the Northern Army for many years.
Could it be that Qin Zheng was using this incident to expose his undercover agent?
Exposed to Qin Zheng!
Xia Bitu was sweating profusely.
Another of his trump cards was turned over by Qin Zheng!
It was only at this moment that he realized he had been deceived.
Qin Zheng, so scary!
Qin Zheng returned to his study and called Lu Dong: "Send a pigeon to Zhang Mingli, saying that Qu Zhengzhuo's illegitimate son is safe and can be settled in Hongtong County."
"Yes!" Lu Dong was not surprised.
There are many things that adults will not hide from them. He was the one who moved the illegitimate child away personally.
Even he knew that the adults' strategy this time was a game within a game!
Lu Dong left, and Qin Zheng sighed: "Qu Zhengzhuo, my promise is fulfilled. You, rest in peace!"
It turned out that Qu Zhengzhuo asked Qin Zheng to protect not Qu Zhaoming, but his illegitimate son.
How could Qu Zhengzhuo not know what the outcome would be if he failed when he wanted to rebel?
So, I kept a backup plan.
In fact, Qu Zhengzhuo knew very well that Qu Zhaoming was an obvious card and he could not protect him no matter what!
Even Qin Zheng admired Qu Zhengzhuo's methods. He even had an illegitimate child.
In this respect, he is even more foxy than an old fox.
At that time, Qin Zheng was very surprised.
Qin Zheng helped Qu Zhengzhuo not out of mercy.
Qu Zhengzhuo rebelled and deserved death. Even if his entire clan was exterminated, there would be nothing wrong with that. After all, that was the law of Daqian.
But, Qu Zhengzhuo was forced to do so after all, so leaving behind some incense is not excessive!
After a busy day today, Qin Zheng felt a little tired and went to bed. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
But, Xia Bitu next door couldn't fall asleep.
Originally, he only had to deal with Zhou Lun, but now, there was another person, Qin Zheng.
This made him, an old fox, feel a little breathless.
In fact, when he first got to know Qin Zheng, he had already made up his mind to let Qin Zheng and that person get into a fight while he watched from the other side.
Things did develop as he wished, but Qin Zheng was too cunning. Although he was pushing things forward, he gradually revealed his cards one by one during the process.
This is terrible.
Once all his cards were exposed to Qin Zheng, he was sure that he would be completely controlled by Qin Zheng.
And Qin Zheng will never give him any chance to turn things around.
Just thinking about it, Xia Bitu was terrified and broke out in cold sweat.
No, I have to follow Qin Zheng closely.
Only by following closely can you understand Qin Zheng better and find out more about him.
He didn't dare to think about defeating Qin Zheng.
But at least, we have to take precautions before it happens, right?
Xia Bitu made up his mind that from today on, he would pester Qin Zheng.
Wherever you go, I will follow.
He is the prime minister and does not have to attend the morning court. Many things can be done by others. He has time!
