Chapter 234: Opportunity
Liu Tong looked at King Rui quietly, and the panic in his heart spread infinitely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The fifth brother's words seemed to be explaining the aftermath in case of emergency.
"Fifth brother......" He licked his dry lips, his eyes blinking sharply.
Twenty years with Liu Tong's brothers, what he is thinking, King Rui can know at a glance.
He smiled, patted Liu Tong's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't worry, I spare my life and won't let myself have trouble." I'm not afraid of real swords and guns, but it's you, there are too many calculations that you can't see in the dark, you must be cautious. ”
King Rui continued to walk forward, Liu Tong followed, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Liu Tong still had to follow, but King Rui stopped him and said: "Military affairs, my father did not order you to accompany him, so it is better for you not to contact him." Let's go back. ”
"Fifth Brother ......"
"That's right." King Rui turned to look at Liu Tong: "After I leave, you usually take your ninth brother and sister to Ruiwang's Mansion if you have nothing to do, and let the ninth brother and sister talk to your fifth sister-in-law, so as not to make her cranky; Second, it is also good for Qian'er and their brothers to communicate more with their fathers and uncles, especially Qian'er, who is the age of remembering, and begins to be ignorant of the governor, raised in the hands of women, may be raised to be peaceful and timid, you talk to him more, take him out more, so that he can be more knowledgeable, and he can act more generously in the future. ”
Liu Tong naturally bowed his head, and King Rui didn't have anything to explain after thinking about it, so he leaned close to him and whispered in his ear that he would come to King Rui's mansion late at night, and then let him go back, and he rushed straight in the direction of the military horse station.
Liu Tong didn't leave, watching the back of King Rui leaving in a hurry.
I don't know how long he stood before a chuckle suddenly erupted from behind him.
Liu Tong turned around suddenly, and saw King Cen squinting at him with a smile.
"Ninth brother, what are you doing?" King Cen smiled and unfolded the folding fan, fanned the wind twice, perhaps because he felt a little cold, and then retracted the fan and knocked on his back: "I've been standing here for a while, aren't you boring?" ”
Liu Tong said in a flat voice: "King Cen doesn't feel bored standing here watching me stand, how boring can I be when I stand dry?" At least it can't compare to King Cen. ”
After Liu Tong finished speaking, he bypassed King Cen and was about to leave, King Cen hurriedly chased two steps, and said with a hippie smile: "Ninth brother, don't go!" What a happy day today......"
Liu Tong paused abruptly, and looked at King Cen with a fierce gaze: "King Cen thinks that today is a happy day?" ”
"Isn't it?" King Cen laughed: "A great opportunity to make a contribution, the prince gave it to King Rui." Isn't this a happy day, you say? ”
Liu Tong's eyes were obscure and dark, and he didn't say anything.
King Cen sighed twice: "Ninth brother, just care about chaos, in your opinion, going to Yanbei Pass is a dangerous matter, but for King Rui, this is a great opportunity, otherwise, how could King Rui not have a word, the prince ordered him, and he received the order?" investigated the murder case in the brothel before, and he finally said a few words. ”
Liu Tong remained silent and walked away.
He has always been unable to see through the person of King Cen, saying that he is right, and there are some things he has done, which make people confused, and he only feels that he has caused confusion to others - for example, he sent a well-trained maidservant girl to his brother.
It can be said that he is evil, and it is impossible to say exactly where he is evil, and it seems that he has not done anything bad - except for adding obstacles to all his brothers, including the crown prince, from time to time.
Before King Rui and Liu Tong looked at it, they also felt that King Cen also had the ambition to seize power. But later I found out that he was so unpredictable that he was really a weird person.
Liu Tong made up his mind not to accept King Cen's words, and King Cen didn't seem to expect Liu Tong to talk to him, so he kept up with Liu Tong's footsteps and said happily.
"This time I went to Yanbei, and I brought 50,000 soldiers and horses. The so-called generals are outside, the military order is not subject to it, King Rui arrived at Yanbei Pass, if he wants to recruit troops and buy horses, the court is also beyond the reach of the whip. The courtiers are all saying that this battle with the Xianbei people is estimated to take some time...... Tsk, in this way, King Rui will operate in the border pass for a few years, and when he returns to the dynasty in triumph, that power is not the same as now. ”
King Cen looked at Liu Tong with a smile: "Ninth brother, you said yes?" ”
Liu Tong's eyebrows were lowered, and he walked by himself.
"The ninth brother is silent, I also know that I am afraid that trouble will come out of my mouth." King Cen had an expression of "I understand" and patted his chest: "Ninth brother, don't worry, I won't say these words to the second person anymore." ”
King Cen smiled and looked happy, Liu Tong looked at him so unpleasantly, silently found the place where Hua Ze was waiting for the horse, pulled the reins and got on the horse, bowed his hand to King Cen, and drove away.
King Cen tapped his palm with a folding fan, squinted at the distant sky of the high bright hall, and stretched.
"That's right, if Wen can't get through, you have to take the road of martial arts. What are you afraid of? I'm afraid it's not peaceful, haha......"
Liu Tong returned to the house, and Chang Runzhi greeted him, his eyes a little anxious.
When Yanbei Pass started the war, the news was still blocked from the people, but there was a well-informed one, and he learned one or two from the side channels. Chang Runzhi is also one of them.
The early dynasty has been talking for so long, which is enough to see how tricky this matter is.
Catching up with Liu Tong's hurried footsteps, Chang Runzhi hurriedly asked the maid to serve him tea to quench his thirst, and asked, "Is it okay to go up early?" Have you eaten enough in the palace? ”
Liu Tong stepped into the house in a few steps, poured a large sip of tea first, and then took a deep breath and said, "Let the kitchen serve a bowl of porridge." ”
Chang Runzhi hurriedly ordered, sat down with Liu Tong, and stared at Liu Tong.
Liu Tong smiled bitterly: "My father asked the prince to go to Yanbei Pass, and the prince ordered the fifth brother." ”
"Rui Wang?!"
Chang Runzhi was stunned: "King Rui has never marched to fight, how can he ......?"
"There is no need for the fifth brother to march to fight." Liu Tong said: "What Yanbeiguan needs now is a backbone who can guard the rear, this candidate needs to represent the imperial court, needs to have a certain prestige, and people with royal blood are the best." ”
Liu Tong sighed: "My father made the fifth brother a loyal general, but to put it bluntly, the fifth brother is a supervising army, responsible for the operation of the rear Yanbei Pass war, and the matter of the war cannot be left by the fifth brother." ”
"King Narui goes to Yanbei Pass ......"
Isn't this a trip for nothing?
Liu Tong didn't say a word, rubbed the edge of the teacup, and said after a while: "Fifth brother is calm, maybe he has other plans." Perhaps, the battle of Yanbeiguan is a rare opportunity for him. ”
The more he said this, the lower Liu Tong's voice became.
But Chang Runzhi still listened to it completely.
She admits that Liu Tong's words are possible, but how difficult it is, presumably Liu Tong also knows it clearly.
If you want to gain a foothold in a war-torn land, you must first ensure your personal safety. This alone is enough to make people scared, let alone find ways to win over people's hearts and build up power in that environment where they pin their heads to their belts all day long......
And all of this, all of which do not need to be planned and opened up by Ruiwang himself.
This time, King Rui did not have a partner close enough to entrust his life, and if he was in danger, he would be alone.
For him, the danger of Yanbeiguan is far greater than the opportunity. (To be continued.) )
