The young general saw that Bai Ye was in a coma, and he had no choice but to let someone send him to the wing room to rest, and he went to the council hall first.

"Coming?" A middle-aged man in his forties, with gray hair, was sitting behind the desk, looking at a book in his hand, when he saw the young man come in and said, "How is the city patrol?" ”

The young man clasped his fists and said: "Father, a person who fled back from Jiaozhou, said that it was a family member in the Tang He Mansion, and more than five days ago, someone suddenly attacked the Assassin Shi Mansion and killed more than 100 people in the Tang He Mansion, and there was a great intention of rebellion. ”

These two people are Zhao Fang, the general of the silent guard, and his eldest son Zhao De.

After listening to this, Zhao Fang put down the bamboo slip in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Where is the person who reported the news?" ”

"After being helped up by my attendants, I suddenly fainted, and now I am in the wing. Father, in my opinion, this matter should be prepared as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Fang pondered for a moment, got up and walked around, "This Tang He, I have never liked it very much, there is a grass on the wall, and recently it has made the people of Jiaozhou miserable, and it is common for people to be killed, just report to the court, and let the court decide on its own." Our father and son just need to guard the pass, and we don't have to worry about anything else. ”

After hearing this, Zhao De hurriedly said: "Father, that person's tone is quite urgent, I am afraid that something big will happen, why don't we send someone to Jiaozhou to inquire about the news, so that we can rest assured." ”

"Boss, you, you're just too careful, for the sake of the way, sometimes you have to take some risks, so that you can win by surprise." Zhao Fang smiled and said. Then he waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.

Zhao De had no choice but to go out, and when he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly walked in from the gate, dressed in bright silver armor, wearing a white cloak on his back, with a fair complexion, and his appearance looked like Zhao De. He is Zhao Yan, the second son of Zhao Fang and the second brother of Zhao De.

Zhao Yan walked in in a hurry, and when he saw the eldest brother coming out of the council hall with a worried look, he was a little puzzled, and came over and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" Didn't you patrol the city today, why are you still here? Was he scolded by his father? ”

Zhao Yan circled around his eldest brother, patted his chest, and said, "If there is anything wrong with my brother, I will help you do it." ”

Zhao De looked at his younger brother, his mind turned, and he took his hand and walked to the wing. Zhao Yan looked at Bai Ye, who was drowsy, "Brother, what's going on?" How did you save a beggar? It's not that my father didn't save him, it's really that there are too many beggars who escaped from Jiaozhou, how can we have the spare strength to take care of it. ”

"Brother, he's not a beggar." Zhao De explained to Zhao Yan in detail the origin of Bai Ye.

Zhao Yan was taken aback after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "What is my father's plan?" Suddenly remembered the worried look of the eldest brother when he came out, and instantly understood, "Brother, I'm going to find my father!" As he spoke, he was about to go out the door, but Zhao De grabbed him: "It's useless to go to my father now, you know that my father has never liked to take care of Jiaozhou's affairs." ”

"So what to do? You say in case it's really ...... There were only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the rest went to Pingzhou to collect grain. With only this bit of soldiers and horses, even if you have to arrange the troops, you can't get a larger formation, what should I do? Zhao Yan clapped his hands and walked around the room.

Zhao De suddenly said: "Brother Yan, I want to send someone to Jiaozhou to find out the truth in private, you have to keep it secret for me, don't let my father know." ”

"I know, but if you want to use horses, you have to get your father's permission, otherwise you ......"

"I have a way to do this. You're going to do something for me. You go to your mother, and remember to ask her to leave your father in her room tonight, no matter what. ”

Zhao Yan was puzzled and asked, "Brother, what's the use of you?" The use of horses requires a handwritten letter from the father. ”

"I naturally know that my father's seal is in the study, and tonight is also the day when Mr. Miaoshou comes to the house to play against me." Zhao De smiled.

Zhao Yan suddenly realized, "Brother, you want him to imitate his father's handwriting......"

"Ahem," Zhao De interrupted his brother and said, "Go quickly, remember what I said, don't show your stuff." ”

"Got it." Zhao Yan went out. Zhao De called a person, leaned down and said something in his ear, and the man turned around and went out after hearing this. Zhao De went to the bedside and waited quietly for Bai Ye to wake up.

Near the end of the evening, Bai Ye woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao De sitting on the side, and hurriedly said, "Quick, take me to General Zhao!" ”

"Tomorrow, my father has a habit of going to dinner with my mother at this time, and no one is allowed to disturb him. And I'll tell you, my father is at odds with your Lord Tang, so you'd better think about what to say when you see you tomorrow, or he'll throw you out. ”

Zhao De looked at Bai Ye, because of his father, although the two brothers had never seen Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Tang He, they also hated it a little. Now the people in his house are also very indifferent.

Zhao De got up and said, "When you wake up, eat the food on the desk, but this silent pass is different from your Assassin's Mansion, there are only some coarse grains here, we are all people in the army, a bunch of big old and coarse, no one will help you do big fish and meat." After Zhao De finished speaking, he went out.

Bai Ye was a little anxious, he couldn't see General Zhao today, six days have passed, who knows what happened to Jiaozhou in these six days.

Bai Ye knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he simply ate the meal first, so he got out of bed and walked to the desk and just sat down, when someone outside spoke: "Brother, my father has already gone to my mother's place, and I asked my mother to keep my father no matter what, hehe......"

The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Yan. Zhao De pointed to the wing room, and hurriedly signaled to Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan understood, the two were about to leave, Bai Ye walked out: "Two young generals, please take me to see General Zhao earlier, otherwise there will be unforeseen circumstances." ”

Bai Ye's voice was very loud, Zhao Yan hurriedly pounced on him and clamped his head under his armpit, covered his mouth with one hand, and pulled Bai Ye back into the house. Zhao De followed, looked around the door, and saw that no one noticed them, so he immediately relaxed and closed the door.

Zhao Yan patted Bai Ye's head, "You fool, why are you making such a loud voice at this time, I'm afraid that no one will notice you!" ”

Bai Ye was a little aggrieved, "Two young generals, why don't you let me go to see General Zhao?" ”

Zhao De said: "Let's tell you the truth, my father didn't believe that there would be a rebellion in Jiaozhou, and he had written a note during the day and sent it to the imperial city to report to the Son of Heaven. ”

Bai Ye was about to say something after listening, but Zhao De hurriedly said, "You have a quieter voice." Brother Yan and I felt that things couldn't wait so passively, so I had to forge my father's seal and handwriting tonight, make a handwritten handwriting, and send someone to Jiaozhou overnight to inquire about the news. ”

"I see." Bai Ye was about to say something, but Zhao Yan slapped him on the back of the head and said, "I know, it's still noisy, be careful that my father knows, this matter will be completely ruined." ”

The night fell slightly, and a small old man with squinted eyes and a kind face came to the general's mansion, Zhao De hurriedly went out to greet him, and the two walked to the study and sat down.

Zhao De said: "Mr. came on time." Come, Zhao De is ready. ”

"Okay, you kid, let me come over and play chess with you every ten days. Sooner or later, this old bone of mine will be tormented by you. ”

"Hahaha...... Sir said "No, you have strong bones and good spirits......"

The old man saw that Zhao De was a little speechless and stopped, "What's the matter, I'm still talking to me, just say anything straight." ”

After hearing this, Zhao De bowed his head and said, "Sir, I would like to ask you to forge a copy of my father's handwritten letter for me." I know that you often exchanged classics with my father, and you know my father's handwriting best. ”

The old man was stunned, "This ...... Okay, if the second boy comes and asks for it, I will definitely not give it, but you have always been calm, and it must be of great use. Okay, give me pen and ink. ”

Zhao De took out the pen and ink and brocade cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, waited for the old man to finish writing, picked it up and blew the ink on it, and then ran to the study to get the letter, and hurriedly sent it to the stable, there was already a person waiting outside the stable, took the handbook from Zhao De's hand, and went straight into the stable, and after a short time, a fast horse went out of the general's mansion.

Zhao De let out a sigh, and Zhao Yan's voice came from behind him: "Okay? ”

"Alright." The two of them walked towards the house, and there were distinguished guests waiting.
