Huo Zizhen sat in the tent, his face gloomy, he hadn't closed his eyes for three consecutive days.

It's not that I'm not sleepy, but I can't sleep.

Now what he was worried about was not the battle situation in Beihe, but about the assassination of Meng Yang, which was not his intention, but he had to do it.

And the one who helped him contact the killer turned out to be the temporary fourth recruit division of the Flying Tiger Second Army, General Cen Shen. In fact, this sentence is more appropriate to say the other way around, in fact, Cen Shen found Huo Zizhen and asked Huo Zizhen if he wanted to kill Meng Yang. Huo Zizhen did not make a clear statement at that time, and he also counted Cen Shen in a weird way.

But he didn't punish Cen Shen for this, which in itself was a kind of connivance. - Under normal circumstances, Huo Zizhen should have pulled Cen Shen out and cut it; Or report this matter to the eldest prince of the Meng family for adjudication, Cen Shen intends to collude with the same party and murder the gate lord, which must be a capital crime.

Cen Shen was a little undecided at that time, but at this time, his wife Lu, who came with the army, said to Cen Shen: The marshal has actually agreed. Now it's just a matter of how well you perform, and if you perform well, you'll be considered a league in the future.

Cen Shen suddenly realized that he began to plan this assassination operation.

Cen Shen has a junior brother named Cao Feihu, of course, this is just his nickname, and what his real name is, Cen Shen doesn't say.

Huo Zizhen just knew that they were all a mysterious killer organization from Datong Mansion, and later that organization was exterminated by the imperial court, and the person responsible for the extermination operation was Meng Du, the fifth son of the Meng family.

At that time, Cen Shen abandoned the secret and surrendered to the light, and took a step ahead of Meng Du to join the command, adding a fire to the extermination plan, so that Meng Du could completely complete this seemingly almost impossible task.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Du became famous in the Meng family and even in the Great Liang Dynasty, and once surpassed the prestige of Meng Zong, the eldest son of the Meng family.

But later, after the test of more events, the ability of Meng Du and Cen Shen was questioned.

"Report to the marshal, temporarily ask for a meeting with the fourth division."

"Let him in."

"Whoa."

There are two retreat rooms on either side of the marshal's tent, which are specially used to discuss confidential matters. After all, there were a lot of people in the marshal's tent, and many secretaries, generals, and officials were very busy. You can't blast everyone out at this time.

Although their status is not high, but their work is very important, thousands of troops are fighting, war reports are flying like snowflakes, you can't always let the marshal make decisions on everything, many problems, in the secretary Lang Lang and the generals, will get good opinions with a view of the overall situation, quickly sent to the troops. Unless they encounter something they are not sure about, they will report to the commander.

And when they made a decision, the commander, the chief army, the general staff, the deputy marshal, etc., sat not far away, the general read out the battle plan, and the secretary Lang took quick notes, this process was under the supervision of the commander, and it was absolutely impossible and never allowed to make any mistakes.

Huo Zizhen led Cen Shen to the retreat room, and Cen Shen whispered to him.

Huo Zizhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Did the fifth prince really tell you that?" ”

"Yes."

"And when is he going to do it?"

"Please talk to the fifth prince about this."

"Talk to the fifth son?" Huo Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart: At this time, I am fighting in Hebei, where can I find the fifth son?

Huo Zizhen glanced at Cen Shen and said, "Could it be that the fifth prince has already come?" ”

"Yes, in the barracks of the subordinates. I wonder if Huo Shuai is willing to deign to go? ”

"In front of the son of the Meng family, I, the handsome, can't trespass the courtesy. When he got to your tent, he became my superior. Although I have been the eldest prince for a long time, after all, they may be the future patriarch of the Meng family. I still understand this rule. Huo Zizhen seemed to be explaining something to Cen Shen.

Cen Shen waved his hand expressionlessly and motioned to Huo Zizhen: Please go.

Huo Zizhen walked out and whispered a few words to Deputy Marshal Zhang Zhikui, Zhang Zhikui looked at Cen Shen sideways, and then nodded at Huo Zizhen.

Then Huo Zizhen left with Cen Shen.

In the eyes of others, the marshal has something to leave, and before leaving, let the deputy marshal stare at the changes in the battle situation. At this time, Zhao Guangda, the commander of the Northern Army, was squinting his eyes and closing his eyes there.

I don't know if he knows the news of Huo Zizhen's departure from the tent, and soon, someone reminded him in Zhao Guangda's ear, he just squinted his eyes slightly, and then he didn't follow. It feels like everything is under control.

The camp of the Fourth Division was next to the Shuai Wei Division, and he rode on his horse, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he came to Cen Shen's camp.

Cen Shen is really a person who pays attention to his spiritual outlook, and the soldiers in his army also have this temperament. It can be seen that Cen Shen is still quite attentive to the troops in peacetime.

Huo Zizhen just glanced at it lightly, and then walked into the tent quickly, and his mind was in turmoil at this time.

As soon as he came in, he saw the fifth son, Meng Du, Meng Du's face was extremely ugly, even if he saw Huo Zizhen, he just forced out some smiles, sat down with each other, and didn't even say a polite word, Meng Du asked directly: "Meng Yang is dead, this is a big loss for our Meng family." I don't know what Huo Shuai thinks about this. ”

What can I think?

Huo Zizhen muttered in his heart and said, "I am shocked and heartbroken by General Meng's death. I've dealt with him a few times, and I have to say that he is a prodigy who arranges troops and practices martial arts. ”

"Let's not say such polite words." Meng Du lowered his head, and behind him stood several servants, one of whom was dressed in a simple suit, but the cloth was of the highest quality.

This man was Meng Du's personal servant, and he followed him wherever Meng Du went. His name is Ji Yifa, a swordsman under the nine pins. In the face of such a person, even Huo Zizhen felt worried. If the fifth prince suddenly attacked and let Ji Yifa attack him, he would have almost no chance of escaping.

"I don't know what the fifth prince wants to hear."

As soon as Huo Zizhen said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. In fact, the atmosphere in the room has been quite tense since the two of them met. From the moment they didn't greet each other when they should have greeted each other, everyone had a little count in their hearts.

When he came to see the fifth prince, Huo Zizhen didn't bring a guard, so it was also to show his loyalty to the Meng family. But right now, his heart was beating the drum, and he said in his heart: Could it be that Cen Shen sold me?

After all, Cen Shen has always been the person of the fifth son.

"I wonder if Meng Yang sent you a letter before he rushed to Hebei; whether you will arrange for someone to contact him; Also, I'd like to take a look at your letterhead and contacts. Meng Du still kept his head down, putting on a cynical look, fiddling with his fingers.

The more he looked like this, the more tense the atmosphere in the tent became.

Huo Zizhen glanced at Cen Shen, who had an indifferent expression, as if he was out of the matter.

Huo Zizhen said: "I contacted Meng Yang through General Cen. And the letterheads that Meng Yang sent to me were also official documents, and Cen Shen had seen the contents of them. ”

Since it is an official document, it must not be mixed with any strange things, and it will be put into the marching cabinet by the secretary of the commander's department, and these documents are not of much use, but they must be kept for a while. Maybe something went wrong suddenly, and these documents are mostly some evidence.

But when the army marches and fights, these things will not be taken far away, maybe take a city, and throw it into the archives of the county government for management, and tell the officials to either send it to Luoyang, or destroy it regularly.

"So are you sure he received all the letters you wrote to Meng Yang?"

"This is also handled by General Cen Shen."

"You didn't send someone to meet Meng Yang privately?" As soon as Meng Du said this, the tension in the room was raised again, and he felt that the atmosphere was very depressing.

Huo Zizhen didn't speak for a while.

Meng Du suddenly smiled bitterly: "I didn't doubt what you meant, I just wanted to learn more about the situation through the side." This time, my father sent me to find the murderer who killed Meng Yang, and I made a bold statement from my father that I must find out the real culprit behind the scenes. I hope Huo Shuai can also help me. ”

Huo Zizhen sat in the chair and hugged his fists and said, "It must be so." ”

It seems that Cen Shen did not betray himself; It seems that what Cen Shen said to himself is also true. This guy who was born as a killer has a lot of ambitions. And Huo Zizhen's mind at this time, in a sense, coincides with Cen Shen, of course, their ultimate goals are not the same. It's just one of the paths that can be used for each other.

"Hehe, but in the end, I, Huo Zizhen, will be the real winner." Walking out of the camp, Huo Zizhen sneered in his heart.
