The eyes of everyone in the camp were condensed on his face. Deng Ming had no idea for a long time. He couldn't figure out which drama Zhou Kaihuang was singing. Deng Ming didn't know how to explain Zhou Kaihuang to everyone after Zhou Kaihuang's words. At the same time, he was thinking about what Zhou Kaihuang wanted to set up himself on the stove and roast him like this. He thought from time to time: "What kind of craftsmanship? To be honest, you can pour out all of them!" This idea kept coming up again and again after being pressed again and again.

Although Deng Ming was angry, he was still rational. Although it was a fact that he traveled through time and space, he could not tell the truth. In everyone's ears, this matter would only seem more absurd than the biggest lie. Once it was told, it was not a solution to the problem but a slap. "Calm down, calm down, I know you are eager to do it. Didn't you handle it well before in Yuan Zongdi? You have successfully won their trust."

Everyone had been waiting quietly for a long time, but Deng Ming still didn't come up with any solution. Deng Ming comforted himself in his heart, and at the same time he kept suppressing the increasingly high anger in his heart: "What exactly did Zhou Kaihuang want to do? Does he think I am the lying king? Even if he is making up lies, you must at least confess with me in advance! If you are forced to force me, I will tell the truth, and no one can think of stepping down!"

Deng Ming's silence made Li Xinghan's suspicion become heavier. He had heard Zhou Kaihuang's words before, and he believed in Deng Ming's identity as a clan. Now Deng Ming did not answer Zhou Kaihuang's remarks, and Li Xinghan felt that this was a bit unreasonable. Yes or no, this is a very simple issue for a clan and a major issue. If so, naturally, he cannot deny his ancestors; if not, he cannot pretend to be - if this continues, it will not take long for Li Xinghan to begin to doubt Deng Ming's identity as a clan.

"My life experience is really hard to describe," Deng Ming couldn't think of any way to help Zhou Kaihuang to make a lie. He would not have any good results when he told him about his time and space travel. Deng Ming had to continue dealing with it: "When it comes to Fengjie, I will naturally explain it to Master Wen."

This is actually Deng Ming’s admission failure. There are all unambiguous soldiers on the other side. If the lies are discovered, they may be beaten up angrily by them. Deng Ming feels that it will take some time to go to Fengjie, and he can think about countermeasures calmly. Zhou Kaihuang is really the root of trouble, but Wen Anzhi is a literati and may be a reasoning person. As long as he explains it clearly to him, he will probably understand his own difficulties. In order to boost the morale of the entire army, he had to pretend to be a clan of the royal family to Li Xinghan and his gang in a critical moment.

Li Xinghan remembered that when he first met Deng Ming, the other party said this, and he could understand the other party's difficulties in danger. However, the guy Zhou Kaihuang said this for no reason, right? Thinking of this, Li Xinghan stopped asking Deng Ming, but instead started a trouble for Zhou Kaihuang: "Mr. Zhou Qian, is this to make fun of your brothers?"

Zhou Kaihuang suddenly turned into a big blush. Deng Ming had already agreed just now, but he broke his promise in a blink of an eye and sold him. However, Zhou Kaihuang felt that it was not easy to have an attack with Deng Ming, so he had to explain: "This is what our old man Jingguo Gong saw..."

Zhou Kaihuang, who was half drunk, talked in a mess for a long time. His tongue was a little big, first with a strange cotton jacket and boots, and then with pig legs that had not eaten away from his bone marrow. He talked for a long time, but most of the people present didn't understand at all, and they were even more confused, and they didn't even know what he wanted to say.

Deng Ming finally confirmed that he had no urgency. It turned out that the other party had never believed in what kind of scholar he was from the beginning. When Zhou Kaihuang told the story that the pig's leg bone was not knocked open, Deng Ming felt very wronged - he had already eaten so much that he had no meat residue, but he actually thought he was making a fuss!

"... Especially the string of beads, that is a forbidden thing." Zhou Kaihuang was talking, and suddenly his mind changed. In order to strengthen his persuasion, he ran over and pulled Zhao Tianba to testify for him: "Even if the beads given to the prince of Jin today are far from comparable to the treasures in the hands of His Highness, this is what Zhao Qianhu said."

"I haven't said that." When Zhao Tianba heard that he asked to testify, he shook his head and denied it. The Ming court where he was loyal to Emperor Yongli was mainly because King Jin was loyal to the Ming court, and he, Zhao Tianba, had always been loyal to King Jin. Today, Deng Ming's performance made him feel a little uneasy. If this person was supported, he might one day give the person who would be loyal to the King of Jin? - When today I caused some trouble, Zhao Tianba had made up his mind and reported his concerns to the Wenshu sent by the court as soon as he returned to Fengjie. For this reason, Zhao Tianba did not plan to help Deng Ming win over the morale of the army.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianba went back on his word, and Zhou Kaihuang was shocked and angry: "You said it! Lord Jingguo heard it, and I heard it too."

"I haven't said it!"

"You said it! You said that day in Lord Jingguo's tent."

"I haven't said it!"

"You said it!"

"I haven't said it!"

The two of them went over and over again, and they couldn't get any result. Deng Ming used the excuse that it was getting late and it was getting late tomorrow and asked for a meeting to end. Except for Zhou, Zhao and others who were arguing with each other, Deng Ming was probably the only person in the tent who knew what they were fighting for. He decided to avoid the limelight when everyone still didn't understand.

Deng Ming already knew that Zhou Kaihuang was not using any strategy at all, but was really mistakenly thinking that he was a clan of the royal family. Deng Ming estimated that the people of the Ming Dynasty impersonating the royal family was not a very light crime. In his impression, impersonation may constitute a criminal offense.

After the meeting, Deng Ming quickly left the central army tent and grabbed the guards standing guard at the door as soon as he went out: "Please take me to Tan Hong's tent."

Seeing that the royal family spoke so politely, several guards at the door were frightened one by one. Facing Deng Ming's guard, they hurriedly led the way, and the others also apologized repeatedly: "Your Highness killed the villain."

Zhou Kaihuang arranged Deng Ming to rest in Tan Hong's tent.

In the past, when he was in Yuan Zongdi's army, Deng Ming often used his next move when he was alone, especially when it was late at night. However, in most cases, Deng Ming fell asleep before he could think of anything. His thinking quickly turned into a fantasy, and then he fell asleep with these irrelevant thoughts.

According to his experience, if he lay down, he would soon think about it until he was confused and entered the dream. So after entering the tent, Deng Ming did not lie down but walked around the tent. He accidentally got a lot of information tonight, and it was very important. Deng Ming must ensure that he could analyze this information clearly and then respond reasonably.

"I have never told anyone that I am a clan of the royal family, so I have not impersonated it." Deng Ming thought that if the Ming Dynasty's laws also require the provision of criminal facts, then he should be safe: "I don't know what the consequences of ordinary people pretending to be a clan? In the feudal dynasty, this is probably a great crime, right? These are all Yuan Zongdi and Zhou Kaihuang and their speculations have nothing to do with me."

Based on Deng Ming's understanding of Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba's personalities, he estimated that Zhou Kaihuang had not lie. Perhaps Zhao Tianba had said that his beads were treasures in forbidden. Thinking of this, Deng Ming couldn't help but touch the beads under his clothes: "I thought of changing them to eat when I was hungry, but if it was so precious, I'm afraid no one would dare to take them away. Well... Maybe I can take the beads apart and sell them one by one..."

After fantasizing about selling pearls for a while, Deng Ming found that he was a bit off-topic and hurriedly pulled his thoughts back: "How should I explain my identity after seeing Wen Anzhi? I read and read, but almost no one in this era recognizes words, and the reason for amnesia cannot be used forever. How should I explain my origin?" Although Deng Ming thought hard, he could not come up with a good solution because he did not understand this era.

Suddenly, a bold idea came up: "Or why don't I just call the royal family? I asked indirectly what kind of clan relatives were killed by the Qing Dynasty. I said I was alone. It would be easy to explain what I read and read, and these strings of pearls can help me strengthen my persuasion."

However, this idea was just a flash. Deng Ming thought about it for a moment and realized that it was more difficult to pretend to be a royal family than to make up for it: "If I pretend to be a passerby, others will not be able to find out my family background. If I pretend to be a royal family and still don't know it, I will immediately reveal it. It turns out that the descendants of the royal family in the court still pay attention to, I can't even know my name and the old prince of the royal family, right?"

Besides, Wen Anzhi is a scholar, no better than a military general like Yuan Zongdi. I heard that the court sent to Sichuan. He has read books, seen the world, and has also been an official in the court. Even if he is not a sharp-eyed eye, it is almost the same. He can tell at a glance whether he is a royal family. Lie in front of such a person is obviously seeking death.

Deng Ming felt that things became even more difficult. After thinking about it over and over again, he seemed to be able to say that he had lost his memory. However, he had only lost some of his memory. He still remembered some of the knowledge learned in the book: "Just just how to grasp this degree, you must think carefully. If you deal with it in a hurry like when you saw Yuan Zongdi, it would definitely not work, that would be a joke about your own life."

When Deng Ming was wandering around the camp, there were intermittent sad sounds coming from outside. At first, he didn't take them seriously, thinking that it was mostly soldiers who died in battle with relatives and friends venting their sadness. As the sound became louder and louder, it was obvious that more people participated.

"Oh, the end of the battle in Chongqing is so miserable. Perhaps every soldier has some friends and relatives are unknown." Hearing these sad voices, Deng Ming felt a little painful in his heart, and he even remembered the young Shuiying Qiang General who sacrificed his life: "I don't know his name yet. I must ask if I see Zhou Kaihuang next time."

The crying continued, and Deng Ming was also sad: "I always heard that the military discipline of the feudal army was harsh and unkind. Yuan Zongdi told me that not only clamor was strictly prohibited in the army, but the punishment was even more severe, which could make prisoners unable to survive or die. However, listening to the crying outside, the military laws of the Ming Dynasty could also be compatible. Sometimes officers were humane, and the soldiers must be too sad. How could they ban them again? The so-called law was not human feelings, and it was like this in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."

Some shouts and cries came with the sound of crying. Deng Ming listened carefully, and there seemed to be a sound of whipping the whip.

"This must be an officer who has begun to enforce the law. Although the officers know that the soldiers feel uncomfortable, there will always be people who think that the military law should be maintained, right?" Deng Ming was a little dissatisfied with this kind of treatment. Yuan Zongdi and Zhou Kaihuang had introduced various military law to him. When he thought of the punishment of Deng Ming, his hair was standing upside down, he immediately walked out of the camp: "Although I did not pretend to be a royal family, I still have some face. If someone really wanted to strictly enforce the military law, I would always ask for a love for them."

After walking out of the camp, I saw the torches at the edge of the camp. Deng Ming hurriedly walked over there, and the two guards at the gate of the camp followed him. The more he walked over there, the more he shouted and whipped, the more he walked over there. Although Deng Ming did not understand the habits of the Ming Dynasty people, he also noticed something strange.

In the fire, Zhou Kaihuang stood majestic on the high ground. When he saw Deng Ming coming, he ran over. Before Zhou Kaihuang could speak, Deng Ming, who made up his mind to not call himself a royal family, said first: "Mr. Zhou Qian, please call me Mr. Deng in the future."

Although I don’t know what Deng Ming’s plan is, Zhou Kaihuang thought he had fully understood that Deng Ming was not willing to reveal his identity now, so Zhou Kaihuang replied submissively: “Yes, Mr. Deng.”

Hundreds of Ming soldiers in front of them surrounded the circle with bright torches in hand. Inside the circle were nearly a thousand captured soldiers of Tan Hong's troops. Each of the prisoners gave a tool - Tan Hong built a camp here and used tools to dig protective trenches were all moved out of the storage area. The prisoners were digging pits under the surveillance of the Ming army. And more than just digging a pit, these prisoners were digging into groups and digging them on the ground. Some groups dug deeper, while others were very slow.

The crying was made by some of the prisoners. Most of the prisoners were doing their work dejectedly, and the Ming soldiers beside them were looking at them with cold eyes. Some Ming soldiers patrolled around with whips in their hands. Seeing someone deliberately rubbing or moving slowly, they would whip up with a fierce whip. The people who were beaten were both painful and sad, and they were crying while digging a few times. Some people couldn't help but make a loud cry in exchange for anger and new whip.

Deng Ming saw a prisoner's face full of snot and tears. Perhaps because these things blocked his view, he slipped his feet and fell to the edge of the pit. A whip flew to his head. The blood that burst out mixed with the liquid on his face before. But the prisoner did not wipe it with his hands, but struggled to get up and used the shovel in his hand to pry the hard and cold soil on the ground.

"What is this for?" Deng Ming was stunned. During this period, Li Xinghan also came over, and Deng Ming hurriedly asked him and Zhou Kaihuang again.

Li Xinghan hesitated for a moment, as if he was still considering how to answer. Zhou Kaihuang rushed in front of him and replied: "It's so that Mr. Deng can know. After the gentleman left just now, we were discussing how many people were going to cheat."

Zhou Kaihuang's answer made Deng Ming stunned for a moment. After he understood, he couldn't help but raise his tone and pointed at the hundreds of prisoners and asked, "Is this a trick?"

"Shh!" Zhou Kaihuang quickly waved his hand to signal Deng Ming to whisper. The place where they are standing is not far from the prisoners. If they answer loudly, it would be easy for the prisoners to hear it.

"Mr. Deng misunderstood. Our army still needs to work now and can still use them for the time being. We will not kill them all tonight because of a moment of anger."

With the beginning of Zhou's land reclamation, Li Xinghan explained: "Don't worry, sir, we still know that we should put the overall situation first, and our army also needs troops and will not kill all of them because of anger."

"What did they do tonight?" Deng Ming heard that Li Xinghan seemed to have to settle accounts with these prisoners sooner or later, but it would not be tonight. Deng Ming wanted to know why the prisoners were asked to dig a hole, and why these prisoners cried so sadly.

"Mr. Deng doesn't know anything," compared to Li Xinghan, Zhou Kaihuang already knows Deng Ming better. He knew that Deng Ming knew nothing about military affairs, so he pointed to the prisoners who were digging pits around him and gave Deng Ming a 17th century military common sense: "We plan to cheat all the guards of Tan Hong. Those dozens of people are Tan Hong's confidants. Keeping them with them will definitely be a disaster. As for these guys... they didn't give them food today, and if they were hungry, they would be honest, and they wouldn't have the energy to make trouble."

"They thought they were digging a pit for themselves, so they cried and shouted. After a while, they knew that it was not them who were pitted, and they would be grateful to us." After hearing Zhou Kaihuang's words, Li Xinghan realized that Deng Ming was completely a layman, so he quickly showed his tactical strategy: "This is the military strategy taught by Fuhou to Beizhi before."

Zhou Kaihuang looked around and felt that the depth of the pit was almost the same, so he ordered to stop.

Some prisoners felt that such a shallow pit could not be put down hundreds of people, and seemed too small, and looked around with squinted eyes. However, most people could no longer support this order, thinking that they were about to die, and they all became weak, either fell to the ground or knelt on the edge of the pit they had just dug. Those who made sad sounds just now burst into tears, letting Mingjun's whip fly on their heads, and they could not let these people move again.

"Pull out everyone." Zhou Kaihuang ordered the Ming army to recommend Tan Hong's personal guards, that is, the dozens of people who were still guarding Tan Hong's side. These officers, personal soldiers and servants were Tan Hong's best friends, and were capable personnel selected by Tan Hong in the past. They have always enjoyed the treatment of higher than ordinary soldiers. They may find opportunities to incite chaos. At this critical moment, Zhou Kaihuang, Li Xinghan did not intend to leave these hidden dangers.
