Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 445 I'm Not Joking
Zhu Liangzu stared at Su Jing, his body tense.

Now he will explode at any time.

The killing intent is accumulating little by little.

"Su Jing, do you know that doing this will only make me more determined to kill you."

If you can't say it, then you can only break up.

After all, Zhu Liangzu was a military commander, and he was not very good at verbal exchanges.

Threat was the most direct and straightforward way he could think of.

Su Jing's face was expressionless as she walked slowly to Zhu Liangzu and sat down in front of the table:

"Yongjia Hou, if you want to kill someone, it is always best to do it directly instead of telling him first."

"Verbal threats often mean that the situation is out of control. This is a sign of incompetence."

"You are also a hero of the Ming Dynasty and a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. It's not like you don't understand this truth."

While talking, Su Jing directly picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a glass of water.

It was late at night, and the Su Mansion was very quiet.

Under this silence, who could have imagined the murderous intention hidden in it?

"Su Jing! Are you really not afraid?"

Zhu Liangzu stood up, and at some point, he had a dagger in his hand.

The moonlight shines in from the window and falls on the blade, shining with a frightening cold light.

"Zhu Liangzu, do you really dare to do it?"

Su Jing's voice was still calm, she drank a glass of water and said, "Among the two of us, I am the one with bare feet, and you are the one wearing shoes."

To say that I am not afraid at all would be a lie.

But Su Jing also believed that Zhu Liangzu had gone to such great lengths to see her, certainly not to kill him.

If you really want to kill yourself, there is no need to do it yourself.

"you!"

Zhu Liangzu looked at Su Jing who was so indifferent and felt extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do against Su Jing.

Kill Su Jing?
That is simply unrealistic. Zhu Liangzu had already considered this matter carefully before.

Although Zhu Liangzu's mind is not very good, he is not an indecisive person.

"Okay, Zhu Liangzu, take a sip of water and take your time. There is still time in this long night, so don't be in a hurry."

Su Jing poured Zhu Liangzu a glass of water with a smile on his face, completely calm and relaxed.

Zhu Liangzu's hand held the dagger tightly, as if he would slash at Su Jing at any time.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Liangzu sat down and put away his dagger.

This dagger was not brought to kill Su Jing, but to intimidate Su Jing in fear that Su Jing would shout loudly after seeing him.

I just didn't expect that this filing would be useless at all.

This feeling made Zhu Liangzu very bad.

He would rather see Su Jing yelling in a panic than to have the result like this.

The calmer Su Jing became, the more he regretted it.

"That's right, what does it look like to fight and kill?"

Su Jing smiled slightly and pushed the water glass over.

Zhu Liangzu took a deep breath, looked at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, I'm here to make peace."

Zhu Liangzu was not good at this kind of thing, so he was very direct.

"Make peace?"

Su Jing frowned and said calmly: "Yongjia Hou, since we are making peace, can you tell me the story of the future?"

"After all, there must have been conflicts and contradictions before making peace. I just want to know what is the reason that makes you, a dignified prince, insist on killing me?"

Su Jing was really puzzled by the fact that Zhu Liangzu wanted to kill her.

I am so isolated from the world, and I don't even stay in the capital. It is really strange that I would be targeted like this by a marquis.

Zhu Liangzu sneered and said tauntingly: "Su Jing, you are not interesting anymore. Everything is clearly within your expectation, and now you are still asking me such stupid questions. Are you teasing me?"

In Zhu Liangzu's view, his plans were easily resolved by Su Jing, and all his thoughts were anticipated by Su Jing.

With Su Jing's intelligence, how could she not know why she wanted to attack him?
Su Jing shook her head and said: "Zhu Liangzu, I have indeed thought about why, but no matter what I think, the reason for you to put me to death is not enough."

"So, I want to hear what you have to say. This matter is very important and will greatly affect the direction of our next conversation. You'd better tell the truth."

When someone targets you like this, you still have to figure out why.

Su Jing's temper isn't bad, but it's not very good either.

Zhu Liangzu paused and said: "Su Jing, are you really unclear? Your current status in His Majesty's mind can be said to be the only one receiving divine grace."

"It is said that everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. If you receive too much favor from the emperor, you will naturally be hated by others."

Su Jing frowned when he heard this and said: "Is this the reason? I know that His Majesty is indeed a favor to me, but I, Su Jing, have not even entered the court, so what do you have to worry about?"

Su Jing really didn't believe that there was such a reason.

Zhu Liangzu immediately said: "Su Jing, you are too naive! Have you forgotten that you still have the identity of the prince's tutor? His Majesty's throne will one day be passed to the prince. Who can guarantee that? Will you change your mind at that time?"

"Based on His Highness the Prince's attitude towards you, I'm afraid it was justifiable for you to be the Imperial Master at that time. In the court of the Ming Dynasty, you were the one person below ten thousand people. The most important thing is that you are still so young! You How can we be reassured?"

Zhu Biao!

Su Jing suddenly realized that she had indeed ignored it before.

The current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the future emperor in the eyes of all civil and military officials, have considerable trust and favor in him.

It makes sense to say that a man is not guilty of carrying a jade, but he is being remembered now.

"So, is this the reason why you want to kill me?"

Su Jing asked back.

Even if what Zhu Liangzu said was correct, this reason was still too weak for Su Jing.

After all, the cost of dealing with yourself is not small.

"Is that not enough?"

Zhu Liangzu said with an ugly expression.

"Ah!"

Su Jing sneered and said: "It seems that I really underestimated myself. I didn't expect that I would bring you such huge pressure."

"Don't you think it's better to deal with me now than to deal with me in the future if I am really difficult to deal with in the court?"

Following what Zhu Liangzu said, Su Jing felt that such an assassination was not unreasonable.

"As long as you know!"

Zhu Liangzu snorted coldly, seeming to be dissatisfied and helpless.

Su Jing smiled and said, "Then why do you want to come for peace talks now?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Liangzu's face immediately jumped.

Peace Talk!

This is really embarrassing for him.

"Su Jing, do you like humiliating me so much? You should know this kind of thing very well!" Zhu Liangzu wanted to get up and scold Su Jing, but when he thought that this was the Su Mansion, he could only continue to endure it.

Su Jing said lightly: "Zhu Liangzu, I just like to humiliate you, so what? Or do you really not care about the peace talks?"

Simple and direct, such words were really ridiculing to Zhu Liangzu.

"Humph!"

Zhu Liangzu angrily scolded Su Jing and said: "Su Jing, do you really want to fight to the death? Although I, Zhu Liangzu, have come to you for peace talks, I am not asking for compromise. You'd better understand this!"

After all, he was also the Marquis of Yongjia, a founding hero who was personally awarded by Zhu Yuanzhang. When had he ever been treated like this?

Su Jing chuckled lightly and said: "Zhu Liangzu, you are the one who should understand that today you are not here for peace talks, but for peace. You are just asking for it from me."

"I just said a few words to you and you can't stand it? Why don't you think about how you wanted to assassinate me before?"

Su Jing didn't think there was anything excessive about herself, it was just a few words. If Zhu Liangzu couldn't stand it, there would be no need to continue the conversation.

Under the moonlight, Zhu Liangzu's face turned red. He was very angry, but could not vent it.

In fact, he knew very well that Su Jing was right.

The so-called peace talks are actually his own unilateral peace talks.

"Su Jing, what do you want?"

Zhu Liangzu asked Su Jing.

He really didn't want to continue to be humiliated by Su Jing here. He just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be offended here.

Su Jing shook her head slightly and said: "Zhu Liangzu, you are wrong again. What do you want to do now? Aren't you here to seek peace? At least you must show sincerity."

"Do you think that if you come here and say a word, this matter will be over?"

This……

Zhu Liangzu felt depressed in his breath. Su Jing's words really choked him and he didn't know what to say.

"Okay! Then I will tell you that from now on, I, Zhu Liangzu, promise that I will not assassinate you again, nor will I target you."

Zhu Liangzu said to Su Jing, with a hint of charity in his words.

Su Jing didn't say anything, just looked at Zhu Liangzu.

Zhu Liangzu was a little confused. Under the moonlight, his doubts could be clearly seen.

However, he didn't know what Su Jing was thinking, and he didn't want to be bullied by Su Jing's words anymore, so he waited.

The two of them sat like this for about the time it took to burn a stick of incense.

"Su Jing, can you please give me something accurate?"

Zhu Liangzu couldn't bear it anymore. This meeting with Su Jing was quite secret. He felt really uncomfortable with such a waste of time.

Su Jing stared at Zhu Liangzu and said calmly: "Zhu Liangzu, I really want to ask you, is this your sincerity?"

"Or do you think that this will make me not care about your assassination of me? Are you thinking too beautifully?"

This was not Su Jing's deliberate ridicule, but Zhu Liangzu's words were too ridiculous.

Su Jing really didn't expect that Zhu Liangzu's request for peace would be like this.

"Su Jing, isn't my sincerity enough? Do you know how many people you have provoked in both the government and the public? No matter who comes to me in the future, I will never target you. What are you dissatisfied with!"

Zhu Liangzu looked matter-of-fact.

From his perspective, he was too sincere.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Liangzu carefully and said, "Zhu Liangzu, since you think you are sincere, you might as well do this. You have assassinated me several times, and I have also come several times. How about it?"

Su Jing knew that it would not make sense to talk to Zhu Liangzu.

This is a fixed mindset that will not change just because of a few words of your own.

He just felt that he was sincere enough in doing so.

"Su Jing, what do you mean?"

Zhu Liangzu narrowed his eyes, stared at Su Jing and said, "Is it interesting to joke like this?"

Zhu Liangzu didn't think Su Jing could assassinate him. In this case, it was probably just to gain advantage from him.

After all, he is a general of an army, has superb martial arts skills, and is protected by elite soldiers.

Assassinate him?It's impossible!
Su Jing shook her head and said: "No, Zhu Liangzu, you may be joking, but I am not joking."

"If you agree, then it's not that I can't accept your request for peace."

After all, she had promised Lao Zhou not to reveal what he said, so Su Jing felt that this method was quite good.

Zhu Liangzu hesitated. Just listening to Su Jing's words, he just felt that Su Jing was teasing him.

But looking at Su Jing's serious expression now, he clearly felt that Su Jing was not kidding, it was true!

Su Jing assassinated herself?

Zhu Liangzu still couldn't believe it, or in other words, he had never thought about it at all.

"What? Zhu Liangzu, is it possible that you don't dare?"

Su Jing said with a smile.

Zhu Liangzu snorted coldly: "Su Jing, such a low-level provoking method is completely meaningless."

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Zhu Liangzu, do you think I can deal with you in a provocative way?"

Zhu Liangzu was silent.

He had to admit that he was far inferior to Su Jing in terms of their IQ.

"It seems you don't want to, so forget it."

Su Jing said lightly that he did not expect Zhu Liangzu to agree to this matter, he just mentioned it as he wanted.

"Su Jing, I come here sincerely, must you make it difficult for everyone?"

Zhu Liangzu looked at Su Jing with anger and confusion.

Su Jing said coldly: "Zhu Liangzu, you really have the nerve to say that! In your eyes, my life, Su Jing's, is really worthless. It's just an assassination in Lishui County. I came back from Shandong with the prince." You must have done it on the way, do you really think I don’t know anything?”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Liangzu's expression immediately changed.

He didn't even mention the assassination on the way back from Shandong to Su Jing.

Zhu Liangzu didn't think Hu Weiyong, the other only insider, would reveal anything.

This incident was much more serious than the assassination in Lishui County this time, because Su Jing was traveling with Prince Zhu Biao at that time.

Since Su Jing can be assassinated, it means that Zhu Biao can also be assassinated.

If this matter is revealed, no matter how great his contribution is, he will never be able to escape Zhu Yuanzhang's wrath.

"Su Jing, don't talk nonsense. When did I assassinate you somewhere again?"

Zhu Liangzu came to his senses and immediately denied it.

Zhu Liangzu had sent people to conduct a detailed investigation after the first assassination, and no evidence was left.

If you can’t admit this kind of thing, then you can’t admit it!
Su Jing smiled and said: "Zhu Liangzu, don't worry, since I can let you talk to me here so much, I have no intention of telling what you did directly in front of His Majesty."

"You are so kind?"

Zhu Liangzu asked rhetorically.

Su Jing said calmly: "Yes, I am not so kind, but I just agreed to Lao Zhou, the Lao Zhou you want to send people to silence."
