Chapter 784 Conscience

When Xiao Ruxun woke up from the coma, it was dusk, the sky was dim, and it was not yet dark.

Opening his eyes, Xiao Ruxun found himself leaning on the root of an old tree, covered with a single garment, Ma Hu was sitting in front of his eyes, stirring a bonfire with sticks, and a few sticks were inserted obliquely beside the fire. There are three roasted browned hares stuck on the wooden stick.

"Tiger..."

Xiao Ruxun moved his lips, and called out in a weak voice, Mahu immediately turned his head, and Xiao Ruxun woke up, and immediately showed excitement.

"Shiro! You finally woke up! You scared me!"

Mahu ran to Xiao Ruxun's side in a few steps and helped Xiao Ruxun up.

Xiao Ruxun was supported to sit up, stretched out her arms and moved around, feeling somewhat refreshed.

"Am I... fainted?"

Mahu nodded.

"Yes, Shiro, you scared me. We escaped with difficulty. You vomited a mouthful of blood as soon as you got to a safe place, and then passed out. You said that if something happened to you, what would I do if I was alive? What do you mean? I might as well die immediately!"

Mahu said that his eyes were red.

"Don't talk nonsense, live as long as you can. Living these days is much more difficult than dying. I think of those brothers who died for me, Song Butang, and the old Shoufu. I...cough cough cough cough……"

When Xiao Ruxun thought of this, his thoughts moved, and he coughed again. Ma Hu hurried forward to caress Xiao Ruxun's back.

"Shiro, don't think about it anymore, it's not Shiro's fault, it's the thief who is too treacherous and cruel!"

"Ahem... It's my fault. I underestimated the enemy. I underestimated the enemy and let so many brothers die for me. Don't worry, Huzi, will I die easily? I haven't taken revenge yet! So many Human life, I haven't taken revenge..."

There was a little cold light in Xiao Ruxun's eyes.

Shen consistent, Shen consistent.

You really deserve to be the person who can become the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty!
"Goo..."

Before he could say a few words, Xiao Ruxun's stomach growled, and Mahu smiled a little, and hurriedly said: "The rabbit is ready, Shiro, hurry up and eat something, you haven't eaten for more than a day."

As Mahu said, he took a roasted rabbit and handed it to Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun took the roasted rabbit and looked at Mahu again.

"What about you? Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, Chu Ying, Xu Yong and I have eaten. We took turns running with you on our backs for a day, and we didn't delay the journey."

"What about the two of them?"

"Go find something else to eat. These few rabbits are not enough for us to eat for a long time. By the way, we will also explore the road. Now we have to travel overnight."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, took the fragrant roasted hare, swallowed, blew a few breaths, and began to eat.

"Silang, tell me, Mr. Liu and the others stay in a place like the capital, so nothing will happen, right?"

Xiao Ruxun's chewing mouth suddenly stopped, paused for a while, and then slowly moved again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu and I have an old relationship. Mr. Liu is a very smart person, and he has the trust of Daheng Xiao. Nothing will happen."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Mahu nodded, and then asked again: "Silang, why did you trust Mr. Liu? At that time, I really couldn't trust anyone."

"In that case, whether you believe it or not, do you think we have a great chance of surviving? Anyway, we are dead, there is a little hope, why not try it? A dead end is a dead end, There is no worse end than death when you are in a situation where you must die."

Xiao Ruxun said slowly.

"But even so, I don't quite understand why Mr. Liu took such a big risk to save us."

Mahu looked at Xiao Ruxun.

"I don't have much friendship with Mr. Liu. Although we are old acquaintances on the Korean battlefield, compared with Mr. Yuan Huang, of course, we are not so close. I never thought that he would take such a big risk. Save me, probably, as he said, out of conscience!"

Although he said so, Xiao Ruxun didn't quite agree with his words in his heart.

At this time, there is only one thing that is certain, that is, if there is no Liu Huangshang, I will really die in the capital, don't even think about escaping, the gates of the capital are blocked, and I can't fly or not How can I escape?
Anyway, Xiao Ruxun really didn't expect that this time, it was Liu Huangshang who insisted on saving himself in this dead situation that was obviously aimed at his own life, and Liu Huangshang was actually a member of Shen Yiguan's party. He took refuge in the Shen Yiguan Group and became a collaborator in the coup.

And it was him who actually saved himself under the noses of Shen Yiguan and Xiao Daheng.

Xiao Ruxun really didn't know Liu Huangshang's motives, could it be that it was really for conscience?

If so, why didn't he show up early to reveal this conspiracy to himself, but suddenly appeared when he was desperate?

In fact, Xiao Ruxun and Liu Huangshang really didn't have much friendship.

That is, during the Korean War, the army had two official praise paintings, one was Yuan Huang who was following Xiao Ruxun now, and the other was Liu Huangshang who stayed with Song Yingchang to handle the army's logistics.

Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang got along day and night and formed a deep friendship. So after Xiao Ruxun went to Myanmar, Yuan Huang gave up his official position and came to Myanmar to help Xiao Ruxun develop the poor and barren land to where it is today, while Liu Huangshang has always stayed behind. In the capital.

Like Song Yingchang, Liu Huangshang was also one of the meritorious civil servants who stayed in the capital for development after the war, but his contribution was obviously not as great as that of Xiao Ruxun and Song Yingchang, so after Song Yingchang was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Huangshang still stayed in the Ministry of War, just serving as a member of the Ministry of Justice. Wai Lang was promoted to be a doctor.

He has been working as a doctor for three years, but he has not been promoted in the end.

It's not that his ability and qualifications are not enough, but that his father Liu Hui once offended certain forces in the court when he was an official, so some people put the blame on Liu Huangshang, and even brought him His brother Liu Huangding was also depressed.

It is because of some credit that Brother Liu Huangshang was able to make a living in the capital, but they don't want to make any achievements, they can only earn their qualifications steadily.

During this period, Liu Huangshang also liked the art of war because of his experience in war, so through the introduction of some friends, Liu Huangshang got to know Xiao Daheng, and became friends with Xiao Daheng through the same hobbies and ambitions.

After going back and forth, the two got along very well, Xiao Daheng was also a celebrity around Shen Yiguan, Liu Huangshang also got Shen Yiguan's favor, so when Xiao Daheng was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War to take over Shi Xing's position, Xiao Daheng The tycoon used his relationship to arrange Liu Huangshang in the position of the military arsenal secretary.

Liu Huangshang was originally the doctor of the Chajia Division, which is the least promising department in the Ministry of War, while the Armory Division is a fat job with a different status.

Xiao Daheng felt that such an important position should be given to someone he trusted, so he handed over this position to Liu Huangshang, whom he trusted and admired the most.

Of course, Liu Huangshang was also conscientious, but he didn't want to work for a long time. Just the night before Xiao Ruxun arrived in the capital with his troops, Daheng Xiao mysteriously invited Liu Huangshang to dinner.

It was a meal in the secret room of Xiao Daheng's own house, and Xiao Daheng told Liu Huangshang what Shen always wanted to do.

He also told Liu Huangshang that this was a crucial period for him to complete the great leap from being a doctor of the Ministry of War to being a minister of the Ministry of War. As long as he stood in the right team, Liu Huangshang could become a popular person in front of Shen Yiguan, and thus wipe away his father's love for him. Negative impressions from the past, from now on to the pinnacle of life!
Xiao Daheng also said that after he became Minister of the Ministry of War, he needed the help of a minister of the Ministry of War with real talents and knowledge like Liu Huangshang to succeed.

Xiao Daheng made it clear that he wanted to recruit Liu Huangshang into the group, and he had great expectations and trust in him. Liu Huangshang was shocked, and his brain was spinning rapidly to weigh the pros and cons.

He agreed.

So Xiao Daheng took Liu Huangshang to the next two secret meetings. As Xiao Daheng's confidant, Liu Huangshang knew all the details of the coup, including Shen's consistent ambition and real purpose.

Even though he was promoted by Daheng Xiao and favored by Daheng Xiao, Liu Huangshang still had difficulty recognizing what Shen Yiguan and Daheng Xiao were going to do.

He knew it was wrong to do so, and it was outrageous, but he also knew that it would not be good if the emperor and Xiao Ruxun succeeded as Shen Yiguan said.

A lot of people have to die, and a lot of people have to be implicated, including him, who may also be implicated.

He was worried.
