"Yo, the small life is very comfortable, and even the handling of official business is so beautiful, no wonder so many scholars are bent on being officials......"

As soon as the fat man looked up, he saw that it was Ren Yao, so he nodded to him and said hello, casually pointed to him to sit, and then vaguely turned his head and ordered the little yellow door standing outside the palace gate to serve tea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Knowing Ren Xiaoyao, when he got up, he said hello to Ren Xiaoyao, smiled at the fat man, and went to the dormitory with interest.

The fat man looked at the back of the departing man stupidly, with a look of attachment in his eyes, grinning like a flower, and at first glance he was the kind of hairy stupid boy who fell in love and couldn't extricate himself.

Ren Xiaoyao sighed, this woman fascinated the fat man, how is this good?

Looking at the fat man's obsessive expression again, Ren Xiaoyao glared at him hatefully, dead fat! What woman do you like, it's not good, you like such a woman of unknown origin, damn! Your spring is coming, and our big group of people is going to enter the cold winter......

"Why are Brother Ren's eyes so sharp?" The fat man felt very incomprehensible about Ren Xiaoyao's white eyes.

"Oh, I just woke up, I feel radiant, my body is as light as a swallow, as if I have opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, so my eyes are so sharp......" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes casually glanced at the screen of the apse, and his mouth was still talking nonsense.

The fat man had already become immune to Ren Xiaoyao's nonsense, shrugged his shoulders, then smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ren, a few days ago, Zheng Ru proposed to depose the prince, it is estimated that the prince can't sit still now, presumably he will make some moves, have your shadows detected any information?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao rolled his eyes, then straightened his face and said seriously: "No." ”

"I didn't ...... No? The fat man was a little puzzled.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded very seriously and sighed: "Now the shadow under my command has not done this inefficient thing for a long time due to lack of funds......

"Economic ...... Lack of funding? The fat man's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were straight.

"Yes, there is not enough funding. So now the main job of the shadow is to help the lady in the main room in the mansion to follow her husband, or help the husband to follow his wife, catch rapes, eavesdropping, and help the merry and talented people to give aphrodisiacs, and calamity those ignorant girls from good families, etc., charge by the hour, Tong Su is not bullied, and the shadows are doing a good job, and they are currently planning to expand their business to Hangzhou......"

The fat man clutched his heart, and his face turned a little pale.

Ren Xiaoyao still had a straight face, looking at the fat face of the fat man who was about to faint, patted him on the shoulder seriously, and said in a deep voice: "...... What I have said above is false. ”

“……”

The fat man's face was ugly and said, "...... Brother Ren, don't make trouble, now that the situation has reached a critical juncture, let's get down to business. ”

Depend on! You also know that at the critical juncture, there is a sneaky woman hiding around her who is still in the dark, and she actually sits in the apse like this, talking loudly about how the prince is, and no matter how Ren Xiaoyao looks, he feels that the fat man has the potential to be a faint king.

"Okay, get down to business." Ren Xiaoyao once again inadvertently glanced at a screen not far away, and behind the screen, a slender figure loomed.

This girl doesn't seem to be very professional as a spy......

"Congratulations to you in advance...... Ren Xiaoyao looked at the fat man and said with a smile: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Fu on his promotion......

"Liter...... Promotion? The fat man's eyes began to straighten again.

Why is today's fat man like a repeater, always repeating my words?

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said: "The prince has been promoted, of course he is the crown prince, didn't your father reveal it to you?" ”

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" The fat man suddenly began to stutter, his small eyes were wide open, and his eyes flashed with disbelief and surprise.

"Didn't your father tell you?" Ren Xiaoyao was a little surprised, the emperor's tone was tight enough.

"I ...... I'm going to be a prince? The fat man was still in a state of disbelief, staring at two small eyes, muttering to himself as if he were demented.

"I entered the palace a few days ago, and your father personally revealed to me that he planned to depose the crown prince and make you the new prince......"

The fat man muttered to himself for a long time, and suddenly jumped up, his fat body looked as light as a swallow, and then the fat man's fat face turned red, his eyes were full of ecstasy, and he grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's shoulders excitedly, and shouted: "I'm going to be the prince!" ”

Behind the screen, the slender figure moved unconsciously.

"Calm down!" Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his hand, slapped the fat man's head fiercely, woke up the fat man who was about to go crazy with excitement, and shouted in a deep voice: "It's not time to be happy yet, remember, you can only kick the current prince down, you are the new prince, otherwise, you are still the fat man before, and you will become a dead fat man!" ”

When the fat man heard this, he suddenly felt a thrill, like waking up from a dream, and his excited fat face collapsed, and he cried and said: "Yes, the current prince may be transferring troops and usurping the throne directly, I am too happy......

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the screen, then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Don't be afraid! Your father and I have already laid a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for the prince to drill into the trap, do you know why your father and emperor will go to Shenlie Mountain to worship the heavens in five days? Tell you, I have secretly transferred the Longwu army to camp at the foot of Shenlie Mountain, just wait for your father's order, we will take down the crown prince when the sky is sacrificed, and then your father will announce to the Manchu Dynasty that you are the new prince of my Hua Dynasty......"

The fat man blinked, a little incredulous: "Won't it?" It's that easy? ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded confidently: "Being a prince is so easy!" ”

The fat man paused for a while, then his face was full of joy, and he laughed: "So, my prince is decided?" Ha ha! Brother Ren, five days later, it will depend on you and General Feng Qiudao, don't be careless, our net worth depends on whether we can succeed this time......"

"Let's go, today is such a happy event, you and I should go out and find a place to have a few drinks and celebrate, it's boring to stay in the house all the time." The fat man's face was full of joy, and he couldn't help but say, pulled Ren Xiaoyao out of the door, and boarded Ren Xiaoyao's carriage.

The figures of the two have gone away, and at the screen of the apse, the curling shadow flashed out, looking at the two people who were happily moving away, and their pretty faces suddenly floated a little dignified.

※※※

In Ren Xiaoyao's carriage, the fat man sat lazily next to Ren Xiaoyao, leisurely playing with his fingernails, and said lightly: "Brother Ren, you can tell the truth now, what's going on?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "You're not confused, how do you know that I didn't tell the truth just now?" ”

The fat man glared at him and sneered: "I'm a little fat, but I'm not stupid, you may be able to deceive others with your nonsense, but you can't deceive me." ”

"I didn't expect you to be a shrewd fat man, I looked away......" Ren Xiaoyao sighed, and said with a sad face: "It is estimated that it will not be so easy to cheat your money in the future......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, they had known each other for a long time, and the tacit understanding between friends that seemed to have gone deep into the bone marrow was not something that a little spy woman could understand.

The fat man straightened his face and said, "Is there a problem with this woman?" ”

The shrewd fat man faintly realized that Ren Xiaoyao didn't tell the truth just now, and it might have something to do with it.

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head: "I don't know, but I can tell you that the first time I saw her, I felt that something was wrong with this woman, and ...... The shadow still hasn't figured out her details, and her identity is a bit weird......"

The fat man looked stunned when he heard this, and a little sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Fatty, you ......" Ren Xiaoyao wanted to comfort him a few words, but he didn't know where to start, after all, this woman was the person he liked, and now he suddenly told him that there was a conspiracy to approach him, and it was estimated that no one would be able to stand it.

The fat man shook his head vigorously and gritted his teeth, the sadness in his eyes had not faded, but his face had become resolute.

"I'm fine, my father is seriously ill, the prince wants to rebel, this time it is about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in your and my families, how can I harm you for a woman?"

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the fat man with a little apologetic feeling, patted the fat man's shoulder and said: "There is no grass at the end of the world, this spring is gone, and the next spring will come, after this incident, I will help you find a second spring ......"

The fat man couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Ren, can you be sincere when you comfort people?" ――What did you just tell me about catching the prince during the sacrifice to heaven and deposing him in public, that is, for the sake of listening? ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and nodded: "It doesn't matter who instructed her to come to your side to go undercover, anyway, giving her the wrong information is beneficial to us, so why not?" ”

The fat man sighed and said, "But your ghost words are too fake, is the prince so easy to catch?" If you want to catch it early, why wait until the sacrifice to the sky? ”

Ren was free for a moment, and hesitated: "Or...... Let's go back now, catch her behind the screen and stand honestly, and I'll make up some more realistic nonsense? ”

The fat man thought about it, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, and said very seriously: "Forget it, I guess she may not believe ......"

"Well, that makes sense......"

※※※

The guards crowded around Ren Yao's carriage, and the group unknowingly left the city and arrived at the shadow camp.

Tonight, Ren Xiaoyao secretly invited Feng Qiudao of the Long Wu Army and Han Dashi of the Long Xiang Army to the shadow camp to discuss important matters. The crown prince is about to raise his army, and the capital is already cloudy, although it seems to be calm on the surface, in fact, the ministers and generals of the DPRK and the central government have already begun to prepare for the mutation.

The camp was heavily guarded, and because of the turbulent atmosphere of the dark tide in the capital, Feng Qiudao of the Longwu Army sent several thousand elite soldiers to the periphery of the camp, surrounding the entire camp as tightly as an iron bucket.

Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man got out of the carriage, looked at the sergeants around the camp who were holding spears and patrolling vigilantly, feeling the mountain rain coming, facing the murderous aura like a knife scraping the face, Ren Xiaoyao sighed, looked up at the dark night sky, the mountain wind blew, and a smell mixed with swords, gold and iron and bloody gunpowder smoke came to their faces, which made the two of them tremble involuntarily.

"It's going to change." Ren Xiaoyao looked up at the night sky and said lightly.

"yes." The fat man indifferently agreed: "After this spring rain, maybe the real spring will come." ”

The camp was built in an open place with mountains and rivers in the background, and a fence was erected around the camp, and the soldiers of the Longwu Army took three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, only the armor leaves on the patrolling soldiers made a crisp rustling sound, looming in the quiet night.

Walking into the gate, Wen Sen stepped forward, and without saying a word, led Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man to a barracks in the camp, and walked into the barracks, Wen Sen solemnly pushed open a brick wall, and the wall moved, revealing a secret room several feet long.

After inviting the two into the chamber, Vincent closed the wall and ordered the soldiers and his men to surround the barracks, and no one was allowed to approach half a step.

In the secret room, Feng Qiudao, the leading general of the Long Wu Army, and Han Dashi, the leading general of the Long Xiang Army, were sitting on chairs, looking at their predecessors with their eyes level, their waists were straight, and their cold and resolute faces carried a bit of the solemn aura before the big war, and the murderous aura gradually spread, and the temperature of the entire secret room seemed to have dropped a lot.

Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man stepped in with serious expressions, Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi saw the two, hurriedly got up, clasped their hands into fists, and said in unison: "The last general will see His Royal Highness King Fu, and I have seen Lord Ren." ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, then took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms, put on a stiff handsome face, slowly unfolded, and then stared at the two generals, and said in a deep voice word by word: "The emperor personally wrote a secret decree, please kneel down to receive it." ”

Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi were shocked when they heard this, and they hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao said: "The edict said: A family is benevolent, a country is benevolent, a family is benevolent, a country is prosperous, one person is greedy, and a country is in chaos. This is said to be a matter of words, and one person determines the country. Now the prince is immoral, and he wants to do something rebellious and abolish the way of the monarch and his son, I deeply regret it and deeply feel it. The prince disregarded the principles of human ethics and lost his way, so I wanted to depose it, and raised the two armies of Longwu and Longxiang to eliminate the chaos invisible. Order: Feng Qiudao's department of the Longwu Army, and Han Dashi's department of the Longxiang Army, from now on, obey the dispatch of the Loyal and Yong Marquis Ren Yaoyao, in order to save the orthodoxy of the society and the principle of the world. Chin this! ”

Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi kowtowed in unison and said, "The last general's order!" ”

After waiting for the two generals to stand up, he took out two tiger talismans from his arms, handed them to them, and said: "The emperor said, this is the emperor's special order, in order to act confidentially, this time there is no need to go through the official document of the Ministry of War to transfer troops, this is the tiger talisman handed over to me by the emperor, please check the two generals." ”

The two generals took the tiger talisman with both hands, carefully checked it, nodded affirmatively to each other, and cautiously examined the emperor's handwritten secret decree, and then respectfully handed the tiger talisman back to Ren Xiaoyao, and finally the two of them clasped their fists and said in unison: "The last general is willing to be at the disposal of the lord!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and after going back and forth, the 100,000 army finally stood firmly behind them.

Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi glanced at each other, and Feng Qiudao said with a solemn expression: "Lord Ren, His Royal Highness the Prince...... Do you really want to rebel? ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded and sighed: "The prince began to secretly arrange it a few years ago, and now the prince's strength cannot be underestimated, two generals, this time it depends on your full help......"

Han Dashi raised his eyebrows and said violently: "No matter who he is, no matter how strong he is, if he dares to do that rebellious rebellion, he will not agree to it for the first time!" Lord Ren, you give the order, the last general will personally lead the troops and leave him with a piece of armor to repay the emperor's favor! ”

Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly smiled: "General Han is not in a hurry, the prince is not only colluding with the border army now, wanting to take the capital, but also sixty miles away from our capital, he also privately recruited and trained a private army, the current specific situation of that army is unknown, if the two armies join forces and point directly to the capital, we will be passive, so the two generals must not underestimate the enemy!" ”

"How dare the prince recruit a private army? This...... This is simply a big rebellion! Feng Qiudao was stunned, and then said angrily.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't? This is what my subordinates have only recently inquired about, and the prince has secretly harbored a heart of disobedience, but I don't know how many years. Therefore, if we talk about military strength, our current strength is actually on par with the crown prince. ”

Hearing this, the two generals' expressions gradually became solemn.

Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "How to use troops, presumably the two generals know better than me, I won't get the axe, I only give you a rough intention, this is also the emperor's idea, the two generals, please look at the map, what we have to do now is to separate his two armies and attack them, don't make them merge, so this time the emperor went to Shenlie Mountain to worship the sky is a good opportunity......"

Under the dim oil lamp in the secret room, Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man, as well as the two generals, surrounded the map, discussing in a low voice, their fingers constantly swiping over the map, interspersed, and then drawing circles, thousands of soldiers' lives, in the words of the four of them, a finger, a little bit, to live, or die......

It wasn't until late at night that all the matters were roughly discussed, and Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said: "The two generals work hard, if they can defeat the rebel enemy in one fell swoop this time, the two will definitely make great achievements for the emperor and the court." ”

Feng Qiudao glanced at Han Dashi and said coolly: "Serving the emperor is our duty as courtiers, and it is impossible to say whether we have meritorious service or not." This time, we will be ordered by the emperor to rejuvenate the righteous army, and we will surely win a great victory. Lang Lang Qiankun, awe-inspiring and upright, there are still many loyal ministers above the court, how can they let those ghosts gain power? ”

Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly straightened his waist, looked at the fat man and smiled, with a little smugness, and said with a reserved smile: "Oh? I don't know who General Feng refers to when he is talking about loyal ministers? ”

The fat man also hurriedly straightened his waist, looking proud, highlighting his round belly.

Feng Qiudao crossed his fingers and began to count: "There are too many loyal ministers, such as Lord Wei of the Ministry of War, Lord Du of the Ministry of Households, Lord Yang of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Fei of the Ministry of Industry, Lord Zheng of the Imperial Historical Observatory, ......"

Feng Qiudao folded his hands and counted the names of more than a dozen ministers of the court, Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man's waists were so straight that they were about to break, but they still didn't hear their names from Feng Qiudao's mouth, and their faces gradually became a little gloomy.

Who knew that Feng Qiudao's fingers were broken to the end, and his eyes swept over Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man lightly, as if they didn't exist, he continued: "Xiao Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, the king of the Ministry of Households...... Wait a minute. ”

Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man froze, the two looked at each other fixedly, and after a long silence, the two suddenly jumped up as if they were being bitten by a dog, and they were furious together.

“…… What do you mean by 'etc.'? It's so unbelievable! We've been loyal ministers for so long, and when we come, we end up with a 'wait'? ”

"That's it! It's so rude! Don't we have a name? What do you mean by 'etc.'? ”

"Feng Qiudao, what is your attitude? You've broken all ten fingers and it's not our turn yet, are we traitors? ”

“……”

“……”

The cramped secret room suddenly became a chicken-and-dog jump......

The black wind blows the sea outside the sky, and the rain in eastern Zhejiang crosses the river.

After nightfall, it suddenly rained heavily, thunder roared, dark clouds were thick, and under the dark night, a slightly chaotic sound of golden armor rubbing was faintly heard in the noisy thunderstorm.

This is the territory of Jizhou, north of the Yellow River, in the rugged and muddy mountain road, a group of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses are marching rapidly in the thunderstorm in the dark night, hurrying to the south.

Chai Mengshan rode on the war horse, frowned, looking at the soldiers passing by, the long march made their military appearance and armor messy, even the team was not formed, like scattered sand, in the night, this army was like a rabble, as if the enemy could pinch them to death with a little finger.

But Chai Mengshan knew what kind of combat power his army had, and it was by no means something that the enemy could pinch to death by casually stretching out his fingers.

Because they are border troops! They have been stationed in Youzhou for a long time, and for many years they have been at odds with the Turks on the steppe, winning and losing each other. Chai Mengshan can proudly say that the army under his command is not inferior to the strongest Turkic army in the world.

After a long time, Chai Mengshan retracted his gaze, and looked at the night sky with clouds overhead, and his mood was as gloomy and heavy as this weather.

Did you make the right bet this time? Will this Hundred Refining Master be led to a dead end by himself?

"Report - General, the 5,000 men and horses of the forward battalion have arrived in Zunhua, and then go forward is Malan Pass, and the forward General Zhao asked the general, can the soldiers and horses forcibly attack the storm?" Braving the pouring rain, the spies knelt in front of the war horse of Chai Mengshan, and said loudly without moving.

"Order, the forward battalion dismounts and rests, and does not attack!" Chai Mengshan gave the order succinctly, and his tone was flat and cold.

The spies answered loudly, and went to deliver orders non-stop.

Chai Mengshan rode on the war horse, suddenly clenched his fists, and his face became resolute.

There was no turning back from the bow, and from the moment the soldiers and horses left Youzhou and drove south, he was already a border army general suspected of rebellion, and only by following the prince with all his heart and helping him seize this great country could he become a hero from a criminal general, and his official position and status were even more glorious than before.

Strictly speaking, Chai Mengshan is not the prince's descendant, he and the prince are just very simple because of the interests, the prince has been around him for many years, and the gold, silver and jewelry given to him by the prince are enough to fill a room, but these are not the reasons why Chai Mengshan is willing to take the risk of rebelling against the nine clans and raising troops to help the prince seize the throne.

What really moved him was that the prince's messenger analyzed the situation in the capital to him, judging from all indications, the capital has become the prince's bag, and the officials in the capital, the princes and princes, even ...... The emperor has also become his fish and meat, which has to make Chai Mengshan seriously consider it.

If he didn't follow the crown prince, he succeeded in seizing the throne and became the emperor, thinking of the past, what would he get in Chai Mengshan?

But if you help the crown prince to raise an army to seize the throne, what if he fails? What will happen to him?

Chai Mengshan's life was faced with a multiple-choice question that he had to do, and the topic was difficult.

After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the prince's request.

Whether to live with the greatest glory or die in the humiliation of defeat depends on the decisive outcome of the battle five days later.
