Arknights, are you a good person?

"You have already removed most of my pawns in the court, and you two are too secretive. If you don't tell me, I can only ask Qi Yuan himself."

"You tell me."

The Grand Tutor pushed the Grand Commandant out, and the latter's face turned pale and he started coughing violently.

Shocked.

doubt.

How did the second year old become like this?

435: The three ministers of Dayan are equal, I won’t lie to you

There were many question marks in the general's mind, huge question marks.

For example, why would the 28-year-old Lao Er return to prison, and look willing to do so? This prison has neither top masters guarding it nor strict security, so how could it trap the elusive Wang?

His eyes swept over the second-year cellmates one by one.

From the harmless Kingslayer, to the peacefully eating Lappland, to the expressionless Huai Tianpei.

The general's gaze lingered on Huai Tianpei for a moment.

"This is a bit strong, but still not good enough... Is this another case of self-imprisonment?"

Huai Tianpei did not look up, but his erect ears trembled, and his tail was like a hard iron spear, leaving a striking white mark on the ground.

But he didn't argue.

Because we are not in a position to refute, everyone here is a prisoner of the same person.

"What exactly is your conspiracy?" The general stared at him warily.

"Ugh."

Wang put away the chessboard without interest and sat cross-legged in the shadows: "Do you know the story of the man who worries about the sky falling?"

In ancient times, the people of Qi were worried about the collapse of heaven and earth and their own death, so they lost sleep and food, ran around to tell others about the news, and were in a state of panic all day long, and finally succeeded in driving themselves crazy.

Used here, it is a precise irony, mocking the general who seems to be running around but is actually driven crazy by the year beast.

All his actions were the boring behavior of a madman after witnessing an indescribable great existence.

The general was silent in confusion, then he said, "Stop talking nonsense."

"What exactly do you want to do? Why did you stop? And why did you approach Qi Yuan?"

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Wang smiled grimly and said in a tone of support for the younger generation: "In my eyes, you two are actually the same. The Taifu who can teleport with a thought was a young scholar wearing a green shirt and compiling books in the Baizao Academy. The Taiwei who commands the world's troops was just a eunuch in the Baizao Imperial Guard."

Using allusions and showing off seniority to insult people is only useful among the older generation. If it was Qi Yuan... As he was speaking, Wang suddenly thought of Qi Yuan's innocent expression.

It’s not like this guy doesn’t understand all this, but for some reason he just doesn’t buy it.

Qi Yuan only knows how to ridicule the old man, saying that his idioms are too weak to be offensive.

As for showing off seniority…ever since I got beaten, I have given up this naive idea of ​​showing off seniority.

"Be quiet."

The old tutor was originally watching from the sidelines, but when she heard Wang rambling on, she coughed and forced the conversation to the point: "Just say what you need to say, and end the conversation quickly. Qi Yuan is still waiting at Bai Zao."

"Are you afraid that if you go back too late, there will be no place for you in the capital?" Wang was fighting against two old men alone without losing the upper hand.

"..."

"..."

A casual chat.

The night passed slowly and the sun rose slowly.

The Taiwei and Wang had always disliked each other, and even if some changes had occurred, the two of them simply could not talk to each other. Light-handed sarcasm dominated the conversation, with all kinds of allusions and parallel prose, just like two scholars having a leisurely conversation.

The Grand Tutor looked at it and shook his head.

Finally, at dawn, the war of words ended and it was time to get down to business.

"What happened to you, Qi Yuan?"

Wang asked calmly. This land had been invaded by so many of Qi Yuan's people that a simple encounter could not possibly arouse his interest. The general looked like this, and it was obvious that he was not Qi Yuan's pawn.

How could Qi Yuan’s chess piece not know that he is a chess piece?

Not only do they know it, they are also proud of it.

"Last night, I arranged a rainy night raid for Qi Yuan." The general sat down and clenched his hands. The wound on his hand, which had just healed, suddenly broke and began to bleed. However, he didn't care at all, looking like he had given up everything.

"Oh?"

With just one sentence, Wang's interest was aroused and he nodded, "Then you are very brave."

"Elaborate."

The general sighed when he heard the voice, sat down with a weathered look on his face, let the wound on his hand bleed quietly, and began to recount the attack that took place on the rainy night.

"I was listening to the rain in the small pavilion on the roof, watching what was happening, and then the Grand Tutor suddenly arrived..."

His voice was hoarse, like gravel rubbing against each other, and was occasionally accompanied by long, broken breaths. The sword that was deeply embedded in his mind, and the half-hour electric shock, seemed to have almost cost the general half his life.

The general told the story slowly.

This was a simple event. The only difficulty was that we couldn't let Sui Lao Er know some things, such as the fact that Qi Yuan's aura when he drew his sword was like that of the living Zulong.

He originally thought that he would be ridiculed again.

however--

"Oh I got it."

Wang just lowered his head in thought, said a few perfunctorily, and then said nothing more.

"You guys go." The man with black and white flowered arms shook his sleeves lightly, and sat in the darkness, quiet and solemn.

It was as if he was the master of this place.

The tutor nodded slightly and carried the other old man out of the prison. The old prison guard who was about to retire at the gate hurriedly grabbed the electric baton, looking as if he was facing a great enemy.

The Taifu's eyes suddenly became complicated and he waved his hand gently.

The same type of lightning as the electric baton flashed slightly, and two lightning talismans stuck on the baton fell to the ground with a bang. The electric baton with its own lightning special effect turned into an ordinary baton again.

Prison guard: "..."

I can't afford to offend him, I just slipped away.

They turned away and didn't look at the majestic old man and the disheveled and seriously injured old man behind him.

"Why would the old man ..."

"There is nothing to be confused about. What happened to you also happened to him." The tutor replied calmly.

"Why didn't I get the information?"

"Maybe it's because I'm good at observation." The Grand Tutor answered calmly.

"..."

He could immediately find out what he wanted to know; but as for the things he didn't want others to know, even the Grand Marshal, who was also one of the Three Dukes, could not figure it out. The old Grand Tutor was such a person.

"It turns out that you have kept me completely in the dark." The general sighed with emotion.

"You can't say I'm kept in the dark. I respect all your choices. I won't break up with you until the very end."

The Grand Tutor said calmly: "After all, the three dukes are equal in status."

"Let's go."

His hand rested on the captain's shoulder again.

The old man burst out with the speed of a 100-meter sprint in the army and instantly broke free from the old man's hand. He no longer looked sickly.

"No need to bother, I can go back by myself."

"The journey from Longmen to Baizao is long. Even if you set out at full speed now, it will still take one to two weeks. Are you sure you want to give up returning to Baizao as quickly as possible just to suffer less?" the Grand Tutor asked doubtfully.

Let the general suffer again.

"You go first, I will follow slowly from behind. No matter what punishment your majesty gives me, I will accept it." The general said respectfully.

I won't get in the car no matter what.

436: The shock brought by Longmen

Lightning flashed across the sky.

The general looked solemnly at the empty side of him. He was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said, "How can the three officials be equal?"

The Taifu is in charge of the promotion of officials, Dayan’s finances, education, and the imperial examinations… The Taiwei also controls the world’s military. In theory, he is no weaker than anyone else, but all the generals under the Taiwei’s jurisdiction must go through the Taifu’s assessment process. There is a kind of beauty that “my people are my people, and your people are also my people.”

The general is also the leader of all civil engineering brothers.

"..."

There is nothing much to say about this.

The general walked dejectedly on the streets of Longmen, with disheveled hair and blood dripping down his fingers, leaving a trail of blood.

"Why does your majesty trust the Grand Tutor so much? Is it because he was your teacher and you have a bond with him? And your majesty doesn't like to get involved in government affairs? So you ask the Grand Tutor about everything, big or small?"

His heart was filled with doubts and even resentment.

"Hey, old man."

The general looked up blankly, looking at the newcomer in great surprise: "Year?"

The one coming is Nian.

She was wearing a white long-sleeved windbreaker, her long hair casually spread out, and she was strolling leisurely on the commercial street. Nian was chewing a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake, but the soybean powder and liquid brown sugar were replaced with hot sauce.

"You are also in Longmen? How come you are in Longmen?!" Seeing this, the general started coughing heavily again.

"You, who was arrested by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, didn't even know that I moved recently?"

Nian shrugged helplessly:

"It seems that you haven't personally inquired about the Ministry of Works for a long time. When you were the eunuch, you would diligently deliver plywood to the Ministry of Works. I didn't expect that after taking charge of the Ministry of War, you no longer care about the civil engineering masters."

"..."

The relationship between Nian and the Ministry of Industry is actually not that close.

Basically, the Ministry of Works prints the demand form and submits it to the Ministry of Rites, which then passes it to the Si Sui Tai, and finally to the Nian by a special official. It is subcontracted layer by layer, with a long chain in between.

But the general already knew the movements of the Sui beasts.

But now...

"Unless you knew before that someone wanted you to know, and now that person suddenly doesn't want you to know, you don't know anymore, and you don't even find it strange...tsk tsk tsk." Nian shook his head, looking gloating.

"Forget it. I won't chat with the old man who has lost his power any more."

Nian shook his head and said, "I recommend you surrender, but considering your life span, it is possible that both sides will be destroyed. You should cherish your life. It is so good to be alive."

Nian chewed the sticky spicy rice cake and left quickly.

The furnace behind him was rumbling, and steam with a spicy flavor was constantly coming out of the cauldron. He was holding a bag of fresh ingredients in his hand, which showed that Nian was already doing very well in Longmen and even knew the locations of the vegetable markets.

Lieutenant: "..."

He watched Nian walk away with a complicated look in his eyes.

The following things were done somewhat numbly, and all the procedures were almost entirely based on instinct. The general seemed to have become an old autistic patient.

The Imperial Guard Bureau had never imagined that one day they would receive one of the Three Dukes with a dull look in his eyes.

Dragons are flying and tigers are leaping, chickens and ghosts are restless.

Lian Shi Huaiya was so scared that she broke the cat claw cup.

It was not until Wei Yanwu appeared in the bureau with a puzzled look on his face that he managed to control the situation. He tapped his pipe, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Master Taiwei?"

"Duke Wei." The general greeted him wearily.
