"I don't think it's a coincidence." Li Gai's face showed a disapproving look.

"I know what you're trying to say." The emperor smiled and continued: "Indeed, since I knew that the third brother gave Liao Shi the seal of his Qian Zhuang, I ordered someone to make a replica as soon as possible, and made a good contact with Qian Zhuang. ”

However, after he said this, he immediately turned around a little helplessly: "But I didn't expect that Liao Shi had never used the money in the bank, so I want to know where he is, and I can't find the magic eye." ”

"Even so, I don't think it's a coincidence." Li Gai groaned and said: "Doctor Liao didn't use the money in the bank, I'm afraid he guessed something in advance, but now that he has used the seal again, I think he also has a purpose." He has no basis for knowing about your imitation of the seal, because you only used the seal as a guide, and did not leave any traces in the money village, so based on the effect of the seal, he probably wanted to determine the location of the third child. ”

The emperor asked casually, "Then why do you think he suddenly looked for the third brother?" ”

"There are still unsolved beams between the third child and Liao Shi!" Li Gai sighed first, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "Liao Shi is very afraid of trouble, so he does not hesitate to go to the mountains to be a savage. However, this also indirectly confirms the essence of his promise, too much faith will show that he has to alienate others, because his reputation is too easy to attract responsibility for him...... If Liao Shi has been missing for a few years, and he still has any promise on his back, there is only one thing about that child. ”

"You guessed it right." A faint smile crossed the Emperor's face, "Actually, there's one thing I haven't mentioned to you all along. In the early years, when Yan Qing returned to Beijing after the New Year's Festival in his hometown. He once told me that the boy had changed his prescription, but the third brother soon found out and stopped him. Five years of treatment, if it is said that there are no business trips, it is really not easy, presumably Liao Shi will definitely tell something when he meets with the third brother for the last time. Despite this, Yan Qing was still a little uneasy about this. Let his grandson Yan Xingzhi go to find Liao Shi and send a message to him on his behalf. ”

"But in the days that followed, although Yan Xingzhi had a letter back, stating that he had found Liao Shi, Liao Shi never returned, and his whereabouts became more and more erratic." The emperor paused, looked at Li Gai for a few breaths, and then asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Li Gai looked cautious. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Doctor Liao must have his plans and arrangements for this, although we can't fully know what he thinks in his heart, but it is enough to be sure that he will keep his promise." ”

The emperor nodded, and after being silent for a while, he sighed softly: "Isn't that child's body not yet well?" ”

Li Gai smiled slightly, and said slowly: "It may be that there are some problems." But it shouldn't be in the way, otherwise Liao Shi wouldn't know that she was in front of you, and he could still chase after her with swagger. ”

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "You are ...... Am I like a hunter who has set a trap and waited for the little beast to take the bait? ”

"Listening to what you just said, it seems to be so." Li Gai said with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Although Doctor Liao's behavior is careless, so that you still have to use it in the end, I am a little worried, with his temperament. Even if you force him to stay. Will he be able to make a move? ”

"This concern of yours, Wan Ting also said just now, but these problems are already in my deployment, and before Liao Shi returns. I've already gotten results that I'm quite happy with. The emperor's face flashed with confidence, "At the beginning of a person's life, no one dictates what he should do or what he should not do, but since Liao Shi knows medical skills and has good talent and skills, then his life path should be destined by heaven." What binds him now is nothing more than a vow he has made himself, and if this vow is broken, then his mission of survival should go on. ”

The look in the emperor's eyes must be certain: "Since he has interfered in the emperor's family affairs, he originally didn't have so many choices, and the idle days in the past few years can be regarded as the greatest grace I have given him." ”

It was a bit overbearing, but he could have said it, and it should have been said a long time ago.

Because he is the emperor.

Li Gai noticed the change in his tone of voice, and his eyes moved, but he didn't answer.

After the emperor sat back at his desk, he reached out and picked up a wolf on the pen holder that seemed to have not been used for a long time, and after playing aimlessly for a while, he looked at Li Gai and asked, "You should not be difficult to guess what method I will use to break Liao Shi's oath, right?" ”

The meaning of what he said was more like asking: Why don't you suddenly answer such a simple question?

Li Gai only spoke, but there was more hesitation in his tone: "It should be...... The group of night riders sent to the Great Wind Ridge brought back a few people who had been rescued by Dr. Liao. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction with the accuracy of this reply, and also took the initiative to explain: "Actually, this should be the last step I have prepared for him, whether he wants it or not, the result is a given." ”

Ligai fell silent again.

From the moment the emperor showed his attitude towards Liao Shi just now, Li Gai's enthusiasm for talking to him began to decrease unconsciously. And the reason for such a change in Li Gai's feelings is the rapid elevation of the momentum in the tone of the emperor's speech.

The undoubted tone, the absolute power of appropriation, will make many words of discussion be extinguished in the germination before they have time to think about whether it is necessary to say.

With Li Gai's silence, the emperor did not speak again, and his hand resting on the desk stopped playing with the pen, and the expression in his eyes gradually became solemn, as if he was deciding something.

After a moment he spoke again, and what he said was something else entirely.

"Ah Li, on the trip to Qingchuan, I want you to raise the flag."

Although this decision had been speculated by him one step ahead when he was walking with Lin Shan during the day, when he heard the emperor say this sentence in person at this moment, Li Gai's heart couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Of course, the emperor's 'raising the flag' is not the kind of meaning on the word list, and this kind of Weihao's position must be more moral than ideographic when it comes out of him.

He didn't directly say that he would let Li Gai be in charge, which made Li Gai then breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly speculated about the ** mission he might take on this westward trip.

It seems that the third child's inferences will all become trustworthy, and the eldest brother is also concerned that my main attainments are in personal martial arts, and the art of war has to rely on a veteran with rich experience on the battlefield. And the main task of his trip should be to pull out the thorn in the Qingchuan Rebellion, and reduce the useless consumption of our army's forward soldiers with strong defeat/strength.

Despite this preparation in his heart, Li Gai still asked in a deep voice, "What is my mission?" ”

The Emperor motioned for Li Gai to take a step closer to speak, and then he leaned close to his ear and moved his lips, and a few words that made people feel unfamiliar fell into his ears, and Li Gai memorized them intently.

"Except for that person, the enemy army will lose their wings and will not be able to fly into the sky, and the ground will be full of pitfalls prepared by the third brother, and this battle will be easy to win." The emperor smiled faintly, and then said: "This is the first big battle of the Zhao Kingdom after the founding of the country, I just want to win a beautiful game in the treacherous mountains and rivers of Qingchuan, so that the restless people in the north can see that the uninhabited dry and cold grassland in the north cannot be a backup guarantee for them to repeatedly violate our borders!" ”

"The minister will not fail in his mission." Li Gai handed over the order.

The Emperor thought for a moment and then said, "Although this matter is not a small risk in any case, I still hope that you can take action after their army has been drawn out." Once you've taken your prey, hang it high so that they can mess up enough and don't give them a chance to block the news. ”

Ligai nodded. When it comes to the trip to Qingchuan, he has another question in his heart, and he always wants to ask it in person.

"The idea of the third child, does His Majesty already know?"

The Emperor did not speak, only nodded.

Finally convinced, Li Gai couldn't help frowning.

This time, without waiting for him to ask, the emperor took the initiative to explain: "The third child has his considerations for doing this, and he is going to play a big show." Helping me cut off those miscellaneous feathers in Kyoto is just adding firewood to his drama, and it's all in the plan, don't worry! ”

Li Gai nodded when he heard this. That's the end of tonight's business. As for the trip to Qingchuan, although he has been planning, there are still doubts about the selection of commanders and the date of the army. What the Emperor said to Li Gai was just a hint in advance as a close friend and courtier.

……

In the outer city of Kyoto, Ah San Liquor Store, standing in the counter, Xiao San'er, the owner of the liquor store, was in a somewhat complicated mood, he was wiping the countertop repeatedly with a dry rag, which was soaked in wine stains and oil stains all year round, and the wooden countertop that reflected the gray and black color made the unclean rag in his hand wipe out the light.

Opposite him, a young man sat upright at the table, and there were several empty jars under the table, but he still picked up the wine bowl in front of him from time to time, and tilted his neck to make a bowl dry.

The reason for Boss Xiao's complicated mood is not that this young man who drinks heavily does not pay for wine. In fact, he is very familiar with this young man, the wine shop wants to make wine, a lot of firewood is cut by this young man from the deep mountains, this Xiaochao cut to sell firewood does not contain water, the fire is good to burn, a few years of intersection, Boss Xiao not only values Xiaochao's work, but also has some admiration for this young man in his heart.

This young man is really practical.

Therefore, it is rare to drink in the wine shop, and Xiao Chao, who has zero drunken records, came to the wine shop today, and then he drank indiscriminately, Boss Xiao thought that he was troubled, if he wanted to pay on credit, maybe Boss Xiao would allow it today......
