Xiao Mansion, the residence of Xiao Su, the deputy general of the Qingbei Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiao Su is Qiao Yuanshan's most powerful lieutenant, and he is also the person he picked up. Since Qiao Yuanshan sent the border, Xiao Su has been in charge of the entire Qingbei Army. In the past few days, Xiao Su has been busy dealing with the affairs of the army, and he is busy until dark every day before returning to the mansion.
After Xiao Su hurriedly had a few mouthfuls of dinner, he returned to the room to change his clothes, wanting to rest early, but unexpectedly, there was a figure hidden in the dark room. Xiao Su immediately scolded: "Who?!" ”
The figure slowly stepped out of the darkness, looking like a man in his sixtieth birthday in the faint candlelight.
After Xiao Su saw the face of the person who came, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "Master Huo?!!Why are you here?" ”
"What? Don't you want to see the old man? Is it because the old man is in decline now, so he doesn't want to see me? Huo Pei'an slowly walked into the light, his wrinkled face even more vicissitudes in the light of the candlelight.
"How so? Regardless of Lord Huo's friendship with General Qiao at the beginning, just because Lord Huo promoted his subordinates at the beginning, he also remembered them in his heart, how could he be like those laymen in the court, seeing the wind and making the rudder? Xiao Su smiled flatteringly, hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Huo Pei'an, and motioned for the other party to sit down. Xiao Su asked with pretended concern: "I just heard that Master Huo has been sick these days and has been recuperating in the mansion, but I didn't expect you to appear in my mansion, and your illness is cured?" ”
"The old man is not sick at all, and the reason why he lied that he was unwell was just to deliberately create the illusion of submission and weakness to deceive Liang Yinhao." Huo Pei'an said calmly, his eyes emitting a cold light,
Hearing Huo Pei'an call the emperor's name, Xiao Su couldn't help but be surprised, and an ominous premonition suddenly hit his heart. He asked tremblingly, "Why did your lord deliberately deceive the emperor?" ”
Huo Pei'an did not answer Xiao Su's question directly, but remembered the past with deep meaning: "Xiao Su, you are the most trusted deputy general in Yuanshan, and you are also recommended by me, since you still remember the kindness of the old man to you, it is time to repay the favor." ”
Xiao Su's heart sank, and he asked uneasily: "My lord doesn't understand what he said, what do you want me to do?" ”
Huo Pei'an looked at the inky sky outside the window and said softly, "It's time for the emperor to hunt in spring, right?" ”
"Count the days, it should be soon." Xiao Su hesitated, still looking confused.
Huo Pei'an's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and a terrifying chill emanated from his body, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you remember what happened seven years ago, when the first emperor was hunting in spring? ”
Speaking of the past seven years ago, although Xiao Su is not clear about the ins and outs of the whole thing, everyone in the world knows about Yun Xu's rebellion seven years ago. And Xiao Su has followed Qiao Yuanshan for many years, and he knows some hidden secrets about the case back then. Xiao Su beat a drum in his heart: What is Huo Pei'an doing now mentioning this? He looked like he was planning something.
Huo Pei'an turned his head to look at Xiao Su, and said in a resolute tone: "The old man wants to follow the example of seven years ago, and hopes that the Qingbei Army can help the old man and attack the Hunting Palace!" ”
"What?" Xiao Su looked at Huo Pei'an in astonishment, his mouth was open for a long time and he couldn't close it, and said in disbelief, "My lord, don't joke with this kind of talk, this is a capital crime to destroy the Nine Clans!" ”
"Since I've said it, of course I've already thought it all out. How much did I help Liang Yinhao at the beginning, if it weren't for me, would he be able to become the emperor smoothly? I didn't expect this wolf-hearted thing to cross the river and tear down the bridge, eat inside and out, kick me away in a blink of an eye, and abolish my daughter's posteriority, making her a waste in the palace. Since Liang Yinhao completely ignored the friendship of the year, he was unkind first, then he can't blame the old man for being unjust, the old man has the ability to put him on the throne, and naturally he also has the ability to pull him down! ”
Xiao Su still couldn't recover from the shocking news, and stammered and asked, "My lord....Lord wants to...."
Huo Pei'an paced slowly in the room, half of his body hidden in the darkness, and the whole person seemed even more weird and gloomy. "Not bad! I just want to raise troops into the palace when Liang Yinhao is out of the palace for spring hunting, and if I can capture Liang Yinhao alive, I will threaten him to hand over the throne. If he was forced to kill him, then he claimed that King Rui rebelled, although he finally pacified the rebellious army, but in the end he still failed to save Liang Yinhao's life. After returning to Beijing, I will support Liang Yinhao's son as the puppet emperor, but in fact, I will control the overall situation behind it. ”
Xiao Su said in a trance: "Kill the emperor?!" Raise troops? Rebel? This... This is really a big rebellion, in the next..."
Seeing that Xiao Su wanted to refuse himself, Huo Pei'an immediately released a big move and threatened: "Why should Vice General Xiao pretend to be loyal here, the military salary you have privately collected over the years is not to mention millions of taels, where has the courage and courage to fill your pockets at that time gone?" ”
"Your Excellency... There are still young and old in the next family, and I really can't take on this big responsibility, so you can let me go! Xiao Su knelt down in front of Huo Pei'an with a 'plop' and begged bitterly.
Huo Pei'an kicked Xiao Su away angrily, and scolded angrily: "Useless thing! You have to do this thing, and you have to do it if you don't do it, otherwise I will expose your excesses in military salaries, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape from prison at that time, and maybe you will have to involve your family and children to be exiled to the border, I don't think this is what you want to see, right?!"
Xiao Su was stunned for a long time, his expression was so sluggish that he was a little wooden, and the panic in his eyes became more and more intense. Huo Pei'an saw that the other party had begun to hesitate a little, so he changed his words and said softly: "Don't worry, I have a lot of control over me in this matter, otherwise I wouldn't dare to risk my own life, right?" As long as you help me successfully ascend to the throne this time, the future marquis and knighthood are indispensable, and the prosperity is just around the corner! ”
The room fell into a deathly silence, and for a moment, Xiao Su finally couldn't resist Huo Pei'an's soft and hard measures, and nodded helplessly to agree.
Huo Pei'an nodded with satisfaction, patted Xiao Su's shoulder and said, "Very good, you are really a person who knows current affairs." Don't worry, I've already made preliminary inquiries, this spring hunt, Yin Zheng will bring 20,000 forbidden troops to escort him, and the Qingbei Army has 50,000 people, as long as we plan carefully and take advantage of it, we will definitely be able to smash Huanglong! ”
"There are 20,000 forbidden troops, and Yin Zheng and King Rui are in charge, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what? You have 50,000 troops in the Northern Army, and you can't even defeat the 20,000 forbidden army? Isn't it a joke! Huo Pei'an said confidently, "If you are still not at ease, then I will put someone in the eunuchs who went to the spring hunt with me, and secretly do some tricks and feet in their diet to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
