The stars hang down in the wilderness, and the north wind whimpers.

The withered grass shivered in the cold wind. Shen Muzhi hid in the haystack, and the palm of his right hand that was slightly clenched was sweating.

Qingguo, who was sleeping soundly, had already been woken up, and obediently shrunk into Shen Muzhi's arms without the slightest movement.

Not far away, in front of the bridge in Qinghe Town, Wang Qin and his party had already met the guards beside Zhu Guangzhen. The guard didn't know what to say to Wang Qin, so the group followed the guard to Qinghe Town.

Wang Qin and his party were four people, and there was a carriage.

In the simple carriage, I don't know what people were sitting on, from the time Zhu Guangzhen's guards stopped them, to the group walking towards Qinghe Town, they never showed up.

Shen Muzhi didn't come out of the haystack until they were almost out of sight and followed quickly.

The group went all the way to the Kanto Building on Long Street.

At the door of the Kanto Building, Zhu Guangzhen was already waiting.

Seeing the guards coming with Wang Qin and his party, he took a step forward, arched his hand, and after a few words of laughter, he and Wang Qin entered the restaurant.

And the guard stayed.

The three men who had come with Wang Qin turned around and went to the carriage, one of them lifted the curtain, and the other jumped into the carriage, got into the carriage, and soon dragged one out of it. There were two people waiting next to him, and they immediately took over and dragged the person off the car.

The man was paralyzed, his head drooping, like a dead man, tossing with them.

When the guards next to him saw it, they frowned slightly, and asked, "Could it be that this is the Jin General Shen Muping who was captured alive some time ago?"

"What a general is not a general, now he is just a waste!" said one of them, sneering twice.

It's just that he was soon scolded by another person: "Gou Hu, take care of your mouth!"

The man was stunned.

The guards didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly led these people into the restaurant and settled down first.

Not far away, Shen Muzhi hid in the darkness in the corner of the wall, although he didn't hear the conversation between the guards just now, but after seeing the figure that they dragged out of the carriage, his heart suddenly jumped violently.

A thought that he couldn't believe suddenly jumped into his mind.

He smiled bitterly and said in his heart: How could the eldest brother be brought here.

However, when I think about it, there is always a voice in my heart that keeps saying to him: Maybe it is?

Maybe so!

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Muzhi decided to change his plan and go to the Kanto Building to find out what was going on first, to determine if that person was the big brother!

In the Kanto Building, the lobby on the first floor is empty, and only Xiao Er is left to clean inside.

After Shen Muzhi glanced outside the door, he didn't go in directly, but went around the back.

Climbing over the low wall, it is the backyard of the Kanto Building, where Wang Qin's horses and carriages are all locked up. Shen Muzhi quietly walked through the dark backyard and slipped into the building through the back door.

Xiao Er was wiping the table with a rag, and Shen Muzhi had to lure him away before he could go upstairs. He thought for a moment, went out the back door again, ran to the place where the horses were closed, opened the door of the stable, and slapped one of the horses on the buttocks again, and the neighing of the horses suddenly sounded. Not only Xiao Er was alarmed, but also the people who were eating upstairs were also alarmed.

Shen Muzhi quickly hid back in the building, watching the two of them hurriedly go downstairs and run to the backyard, he quickly jumped up to the second floor.

As it happened, he had just gone up to the second floor when he saw the guard come out of one of the rooms. Shen Muzhi had no way to hide, so he had to pretend to walk past him calmly.

As soon as he walked by, before he let go of his breath, he heard the guard suddenly speak behind him: "Wait a minute." ”

Shen Muzhi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Could it be that he recognized himself?

With this uneasiness in his mind, Shen Muzhi slowly turned around, looked at the guards, tried to maintain his apparent composure, frowned slightly, and pretended to be a little dissatisfied and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask, what's going on down here?"

"I don't know, maybe the horse was startled!" Shen Muzhi deliberately pretended to be impatient and asked.

"Oh, thank you. The guard arched his hand as he spoke. Shen Muzhi also arched his hand perfunctorily, turned his head, and continued to walk towards the other end of the corridor.

It's just that this Kanto Building is not big, and the circular corridor is not very long in total, so if this guard doesn't enter the house, he can easily be seen.

Fortunately, soon, the other two people who went down to see the horse came up, and after seeing the guard, they laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the horse was shocked, it should be that the little second-hand foot is not serious, and it was scared." ”

"It's okay. The guard laughed, and as he spoke, he led the two into the house.

He followed and entered the house. As he turned to close the door, he suddenly looked up and looked at the other side. After glancing at it, his brow furrowed slightly, and then he took it back.

Shen Muzhi, who had already walked to the opposite side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the door closing the door. Then, quickly check the rooms.

This Qinghe town is a remote town, and there are very few outsiders, so naturally there are few people staying in the hotel. So there aren't many rooms on the second floor of this Kanto Building.

Soon, Shen Muzhi looked for more than half of them, but each one was empty.

Time passed slowly, and Shen Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After walking to the door of another room, Shen Muyi approached and heard the sound of talking inside. But it is Zhu Guangzhen, and the other should be Wang Qin.

Shen Muzhi heard the name of the eldest brother, and was about to leave, but he couldn't help but stop.

In the room, Zhu Guangzhen was smiling, and Wang Qin was holding a wine glass, and he was also in good spirits.

Zhu Guangzhen picked up the wine jug next to him, and after filling Wang Qin with another glass, he said with a smile: "General He is so young, he can have such a means, it is really admirable!"

Wang Qin put down the wine glass, took the chopsticks and stuffed a chopstick dish into his mouth, chewed it twice, and said a little vaguely: "The general said that it was just luck." If it weren't for the fact that Shen Muping had no way to do it, which caused the cronies around him to rebel, we wouldn't have been able to pick up such a big bargain. ”

Zhu Guangzhen shook his head slightly: "That's General He's modesty, and the cronies around Shen Muping were personally selected by his father Shen Wei, and their loyalty should have been impeccable." But such a person suddenly turned back, which can only show that the general's means can reach the sky!" As he spoke, he gave Wang Qin a thumbs up.

When Wang Qin heard this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, his expression became a little solemn, and after being silent for a while, he asked solemnly, "What does Master Zhu know?"

Zhu Guangzhen smiled and said, "I know something, but not much." ”

Wang Qin's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Zhu Guangzhen glanced at him and said, "Brother Wang doesn't have to be nervous. Zhu is his own family, this matter is related to my great cause, Zhu will keep his mouth shut, and will never leak half of Zhu's knowledge. ”

"Lord Zhu is waiting for me here tonight, shouldn't it be as simple as he said before?" Wang Qin stared at Zhu Guangzhen, and there was already a lot of vigilance in his eyes.

After Zhu Guangzhen saw it, he no longer covered it up, and nodded directly: "Zhu is here tonight, I really want to ask Brother Wang for a favor!"

When Wang Qin heard this, his eyes narrowed: "Lord Zhu won't want to fight this Shen Muping's idea, right? If that's the case, Wang advises you, it's better to dispel this year as soon as possible." This Shen Muping, Wang must be sent to the tuyere, Lord Zhu still don't let Wang be embarrassed! lest everyone see blood when they turn around, it will not end well!"

Shen Muzhi, who heard these words outside the house, suddenly chuckled in his heart.

Send the eldest brother to the outlet?

It seems that the person in the car before is really the big brother. His feelings weren't wrong!

In other words, the eldest brother is in this Kanto building at this time!

Shen Muzhi, who was instantly excited, deliberately suppressed his breathing suddenly became heavy. Fortunately, Shen Muzhi was still aware of his situation at the moment, and before he was discovered by the people inside, he hurriedly left the door and flashed to the side. After composing himself for a moment, he quickly walked towards the remaining rooms.

The conversation in the room continued.

Zhu Guangzhen looked at Wang Qin, who was already very unkind, and hurriedly denied it with a smile: "Of course not." Brother Wang, let's put your mind at ease first, Zhu just said that a certain is his own family. Looking for you tonight, Brother Wang, I want to ask my brother to help give some things to General He. It's not convenient for Zhu to go to see General He now, so I have to wait for you, Brother Wang, here!" he said, took out a letter from his sleeve and put it in front of Wang Qin.

Wang Qin glanced at the letter, then looked up at Zhu Guangzhen, and the vigilance in his eyes did not decrease much: "Lord Zhu, Wang has heard some things about you earlier. Now that the words have come to this extent, there is no need for everyone to play dumb riddles anymore, let's just say what Lord Zhu's purpose is today!"

When Zhu Guangzhen arrived at this time, he finally put away the somewhat careless smile on his face, straightened his expression, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is dying." ”

Wang Qin's face changed, but he didn't speak, still staring at Zhu Guangzhen, waiting for his next step.

"It has not yet been decided which of the three princes Your Majesty prefers to inherit the throne. However, the court has the highest demand for the eldest prince, followed by the second prince. And General He......" Zhu Guangzhen said this, paused slightly, and glanced at Wang Qin: "Please forgive me for being blunt, General He has an embarrassing background, so the voice in the court is the least, and it can even be said that there is almost no support." ”

"And then?" Wang Qin's face was already ugly.

Zhu Guangzhen didn't rush to answer, took the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, and after taking a sip, he smiled slightly: "I can help General He sit on the throne of the unification." ”

"You?" Wang Qin sneered: "It's up to you, Lord Zhu, it's not that my Wang looks down on you, but why do you say this because you are a seven-rank county order?"

Zhu Guangzhen smiled and replied calmly: "There is no need for Brother Wang to worry about this, as long as Brother Wang hands over this letter to General He, when General He reads the letter, he will naturally know why Zhu said this!"

When Wang Qin heard this, he looked down at the letter on the table again.

At this time, Zhu Guangzhen said again: "Brother Wang can take this letter first, but in the end, whether to hand it over or not, Brother Wang can think about it slowly." Deliver, Zhu remembered the love of Brother Wang. If you don't pay it, Zhu will not hold a grudge because of this, so Brother Wang just has to rely on his heart!" After speaking, Zhu Guangzhen raised his wine glass: "Come, drink first!"

Wang Qin's expression changed again and again, and after picking it up, he drank it all after thinking about it. Then, he reached for the letter and tucked it into the hem of his chest.
