The two of them got up and replied respectfully, "A little injury, it didn't hurt the vital point at all, and it will be as good as ever in three or five days, thank you for your concern!" ”

"The two generals don't have to stand up to answer, the main reason for coming here today is to thank the few of you for your timely action yesterday, and by the way, I also want to chat with you casually, I hope Xiaomin and the three of you don't have to be restrained." As he spoke, he gestured to General Lu slightly.

General Lu then took out two bags made of fine silk embroidered with gold and silver threads from his side, stood up and respectfully presented them to the two of them.

The two immediately stood up and said in fear: "Some trivial things, how dare you accept the prince's thank you, and ask the prince to take it back." ”

Li Shouyi next to him smiled slightly and said: "Since the prince has already arranged it, don't shirk it, once the prince has something to send in the future, you two can share one or two for the prince!" ”

After listening to Li Shouyi's words, Liu Fan secretly said in his heart: "This can't be a deed of sale, right?" Immediately pulled Wang Kai and stood up again and said, "Thank you for your love, if the prince needs us for any small things in the future, please just give me orders, we will go to the soup and the fire, and we will not hesitate to do anything!" ”

After speaking, he respectfully bowed down with Wang Kai and took the bag in General Lu's hand.

The second prince saw that the two had accepted his thank you, his eyes were full of smiles, and when the two sat down, he turned his head and whispered to Li Min, "I didn't prepare other gifts for you, I know that you have liked swords since you were a child, I got a good thing in Shu two years ago, and I sent it to you this time." As he spoke, he handed a seemingly simple and elegant short sword to Li Min.

When Li Min gently pulled out the sword body, everyone suddenly realized that this was not one sword, but two swords. Liu Fan muttered to himself in his heart: "Damn, I got a Xuantie Treasure Knife, you won't get a Mandarin Duck Sword, right?" ”

I saw that the two short sword bodies were estimated to be only more than 20 centimeters long, the surface was yellow and white, smooth as new, and the whole body was covered with exquisite diamond-shaped dark checkered patterns, which turned out to be male and female bronze double swords, which was too rare.

Li Min's eyes were already full of surprise......

"Okay, don't show it off here, take it back and enjoy it slowly." Li Shouyi interjected.

After Li Min put away the short sword, the second prince spoke: "First of all, I want to ask General Liu Fan something, it was so dark in the venue yesterday, how did you find out that the narcissus girl on the stage was abnormal and shot instantly?" ”

After Liu Fan came out of the venue yesterday, he thought that there must be many people who would have questions on this point, so he slowly sorted out his thoughts and said: "Actually, I didn't think more about it at the beginning, but it was Brother Wang's words that reminded me. ”

"Oh?" Several people couldn't help but wonder at the same time, and even Wang Kai himself pointed his finger at himself and asked, "What did I say?" ”

"Yes, it's Brother Wang's words, after the dozens of lanterns around it were extinguished one after another, the venue was extremely dark, which was mainly to set off the scene inside the stage.

The background of the shallow girl in front is also at night, which is to set off the scene of Chang'e running to the moon. And the night battle under the moon doesn't know what to stand out? ”

"I remember what Brother Wang said at the time, and I still remember it very clearly, the original words were like this, 'This scene is weird and weird, since it is a Mulan dance, it is designed as a battlefield where the sun is like blood, why do you have to design it as a night, everything is vague.'" ”

"It was this sentence that suddenly made me have a trace of doubt about such a design, but it only left a trace of doubt in my heart, and it was impossible to immediately doubt the performer."

After listening to Liu Fan's words, Wang Kai also nodded and said: "Yes, I was a little puzzled at the time, generally the wars conducted at night are mostly stealing camps and swindling villages, but the scene of yesterday's performance is obviously an attack between the two armies, and it is a bit incredible to set it at night." ”

After Wang Kai finished speaking, Liu Fan continued, "The second is that the dance design is bland, I once watched with Brother Wang in Liangzhou Yihong Courtyard a girl named A Xia performed the 'Gongsun Auntie Sword Dance', which was performed by Yihong Courtyard every night for the guests. It is a bit strange that the dance designed by the Narcissus Girl, as the Qinglou Oiran in the capital second only to the Qiuhua Girl, is inferior to the dances performed at random in the Yihong Courtyard in Liangzhou. ”

"Third, before the performance of the Narcissus began, I was chatting with Xiao Min and Ling Han casually, and I heard from Ling Han's mouth that the dance that the Narcissus first reported to the organizers of the conference was not the Mulan Dance, but a soft dance, which was temporarily changed yesterday afternoon, which is also very puzzling, because generally speaking, there can only be one dance that each girl is best at, and the temporary change is not for any special purpose, not to mention that it has been changed to a bland dance."

"Fourth, the eyes of the narcissus, I think Brother Wang can also see this, right?"

"Huh? Eye? Oh...... I remember that after the drumming slowed down, she kept turning around the stage, and when she was facing the stage, although the light was dim, I could still feel that her eyes were very focused, and there was a faint murderous aura. ”

Li Min next to him also interjected, "I also seem to have seen this, when the drum beat slowed down for a little time, only then it immediately got faster, just when the drum slowed down, every time he turned to the stage, I also felt that her eyes were not right." ”

"That's it, in fact, those of us who have been on the battlefield are very sensitive to other people's eyes, and if everyone has a murderous aura in their hearts, they can reveal it from their eyes, so the drum beat slowed down for a little time, because she was determining the specific location of the prince."

"Oh, is that sure the person in charge of drumming backstage is his accomplice?"

"I can't be sure of this, because all the scenes of the dance must have been designed by Narcissus herself, including the background, music, etc., she designed the rhythm and gentleness of the drum in advance, and the drummer just completed the specified task according to her design and requirements."

In addition, it should be noted that the above four points were extracted after the fact according to the scene at that time, and there was certainly no such system and such a clear organization in the mind at that time. But little by little, it accumulated in my mind, and I subconsciously had doubts about this performance, and finally made a timely move because of this doubt in my subconscious. ”

"Moreover, this suspicion has not only been generated in my mind, but also in Brother Wang's mind. Because of the suspicion at the same time, almost at the same time as I shouted, Brother Wang flew up, in the final analysis, because he had subconsciously expected that there was something wrong with this performance. ”

"So that's the case, I've always wondered, Liu Fan, when did you and Wang Kai cooperate so tacitly." Li Min said suddenly.

After Liu Fan finished speaking, the conference hall was quiet for a while, and after a long time, the second prince said slowly, "General Liu is not only brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but also has such a talent in investigating cases, which is really breathtaking!" ”

"The prince has a good reputation, so what is the ability to investigate the case, in fact, at that time, these doubts may have been in the hearts of not only Brother Wang and Xiaomin, but also in the hearts of many people, but I will say some of them, and I have summarized them all."

"Okay, thank you General Xiao Liu for answering our questions, and one more thing I want to hear from General Xiao Liu and a few of you, this year, with the joint efforts of all the armies in the northwest camp, the first major victory in the war against the Khitan State since the third year of Zhizheng has been achieved, and it has also greatly enhanced the confidence of the whole army in defeating the Khitan Army, so what should our army do next, or how should Daqi deal with the next invasion of the Khitan State?"

The second prince paused slightly, giving the three of them a moment to think, and then continued, "Which of the three of you will say first, well, Xiao Min will say it first!" ”

"Damn, this is a proposition essay, can I not answer it? Alas, it doesn't seem to work, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, people are under the eaves, they can only bow their heads, even Xiaomin can't escape, let alone me and Brother Wang. Liu Fan secretly slandered in his heart.

"Let me speak first?" Hearing that the second prince was the first to point to himself, Li Min asked in disbelief.

"That's right, let me say first, you are already a senior general in the army at the Sima level, how to fight this war next, you must already have some specific ideas in your heart!"

"Oh, I think...... We must strive for the initiative on the battlefield, or in other words, we must use all possible opportunities to gain the first opportunity on the battlefield, so as to grasp the initiative on the battlefield...... We may win the next war again. ”

"That's all I can say, I haven't thought about anything else......
