The third time he re-entered the barracks, Lu Qian was obviously much more relaxed than the first two times, and he no longer had to tremble and walk on thin ice, after all, Sun Tuke had said that he would no longer care about the harm to Lin Chong in the past few years, and with the other party's current status, he would never lie and deceive himself in this matter.

It is true that he entered the barracks smoothly, and Sun Tu also took the time to see him. It's just that when he explained his intention, the smile on his face was narrow: "There is such a thing?" Several soldiers of the forbidden army in the Qincha guard disappeared in my Qingzhou for no reason? How is this possible? In the past few years, there have been very few cases in Qingzhou, even women and children have not been lost, let alone a few big men! Could this be an excuse for Zeng Jianjun to try to beat me? ”

Being stared at by Sun Tu with suspicion made Lu Qian a little uneasy, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "All the prisoners are Mingjian, the villain doesn't dare to coax and calculate against you." This matter is absolutely true, or the people below reported to me first after discovering that they were missing, and the squire only knew that they were missing. ”

"But this fact doesn't make sense......" Sun Tu frowned, and only after a moment did he say loudly: "Someone! When the guards guarding the gate came in, he commanded: "Go to the government and ask if anyone has been detained for the past two days of trouble in the city." Also, the Department of Military Justice can also go and inquire, and now there are only these two yamen in the city who can take people without my approval. The last sentence was said to Lu Qian.

The latter also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his soldiers were ordered to leave: "If the capital eunuch can be so concerned, this matter will definitely be investigated quickly." After all, those people are soldiers of the forbidden army, so they can't make any mistakes here. ”

"yes, otherwise it would be true." Sun Tu said with a smile: "By the way, I wonder if Marquis Lu Yu knows what his plans are for Zeng Supervising the Army recently?" ”

Sun Tu's seemingly unintentional question made Lu Qian's heart sink down, and he hurriedly said vaguely: "I don't know about this lower official, I have always just acted according to orders." ”

"Really? This makes this official a little incomprehensible, it is clearly written in the will that Zeng Jian Jun is the main and you Lu Yuhou are the deputies, why don't you even have the right to know his intentions? Or did Zeng Jianjun always look down on Lu Yuhou and didn't treat you as a colleague? Sun Tu squinted at him and asked.

"I ......" Lu Qian didn't know how to respond for a while, and at the same time, he was really uncomfortable, whether it was all the way or after arriving in Qingzhou, although he tried hard to please Zeng Kaiqian and wanted to show something, but the other party didn't appreciate it, and some words and deeds could still see contempt for himself.

In fact, this is also reasonable, who called him just a military general with no real power, and a military general who was still excluded and neglected before? And what made him feel even more emotional was Sun Tu's concern for himself, which was in stark contrast to Zeng Kaiqian's attitude.

"Zeng Kaiqian, he came here to supervise the army, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface, right? He came to Qingzhou after being ordered by some people in the court to seize the military power of Shandong from me, right? Sun Tu saw that his heart was shaken, so he suddenly threw out such a question.

These words immediately shocked Lu Qian's body, Huo Di raised his head, and looked at the other party with panicked eyes, looking at him like this, it seemed that he might get up and run for his life at any time. Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled again: "Lu Yuhou doesn't have to be nervous, I have already guessed such things, but it was not easy to talk about them in front of others before." But I can see that you are different from everyone else, and you are a fellow soldier in my army, so I thought of asking you what you really think. ”

Even though he was relieved, the tension in Lu Qian's heart did not diminish much, and he muttered for a long time before he said, "Villain...... The villain really doesn't mean to be an enemy of Sun Dujian you......"

Of course, this is false, when he was in Bianjing, he only turned over by reporting Sun Tu's impeachment of Cai Jing, and later got the opportunity to follow Zeng Kaiqian to Qingzhou, he had already made up his mind to cooperate with the other party to get Sun Tu and the others done. However, these thoughts completely disappeared after coming to Qingzhou and seeing Sun Tu's power and popularity here.

In the final analysis, Lu Qian is just a villain who is wise and self-protecting, there is no loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in his heart at all, he was able to betray his friend Lin Chong for many years in order to cling to Gao Yanei, so it is not difficult to sell Zeng Kaiqian for self-protection or wealth today.

However, there is one thing that makes him feel embarrassed, although Sun Tu is in Qingzhou, he is a court official after all, and Qingzhou is only a corner of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Hehe, Marquis Lu Yu's loyalty to the court officials is still very admired, but there are some black and white differences, and I hope you can see it clearly. Now our enemy is the Liangshan Bo thief, if this matter goes wrong because of something that Zeng Jian Jun is doing behind his back, it will be very unfavorable to the court and the world. Even for you, this is also a mistake, even if someone protects you, your career will be greatly affected in the future, do you know what I mean? Sun Tu continued to bewitch the other party.

The last few words had a great impact on Lu Qian, and when he mentioned it, he really felt that he would be implicated once Sun Tu was defeated. Compared with Zeng Kaiqian, a civilian official who supervised the army, his military general will inevitably be included in the culprit of defeat, and he has no roots and no bottom, and the possibility of being dragged and made a scapegoat is still very high!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a little scary, it turned out that he was being used, and he thought that he could take this opportunity to soar, but now looking back on it, it is so ridiculous.

Sun Tu saw that his expression changed for a while and knew that his words had an effect, so he finally said: "Lu Yuhou, in fact, for you, it is the best choice to help me pacify the Liangshan bandits together, and then I can still ask the court to ask you to join my army, so that you don't have to be afraid of anyone anymore, and you have also become a meritorious man, isn't it much better than now that you can only send people under the fence?"

"Of course, the choice in this matter is yours, and I will never force you. In addition, if you really have a heart, you have to report to me every move of Zeng Jianjun, so as to ensure that he will not disturb our army's mind and affect the overall plan. ”

"This ...... Let me also consider it before replying. Although he said so, he could already see the answer from Lu Qian's reaction, especially when he said this, he confessed in disguise the serious fact that Zeng Kaiqian came to Qingzhou to harbor evil intentions!

Sun Tu smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. At the same time, the soldiers also rushed back and reported to him: "Governor, just two days ago, someone made a disturbance in the restaurant in the city and alarmed the people of the government office, but when they were arrested, they actually injured several more officials. Fortunately, at that time, my soldiers who patrolled the city passed by and took them. And as far as they said, they are subordinates of Zeng Jianjun, and they are forbidden troops from the capital. But the brothers didn't believe it, so they took them into custody......"

"Is there such a thing? What a bold man they are! As soon as Sun Tu heard this, he stretched out his hand and slammed the table, and said with an angry face: "My Qingzhou City has not dared to say that the road is not left behind and the door is not closed at night these days, but few people dare to make trouble at will, these forbidden soldiers dare to ignore my ban to hurt people and make trouble, it is really unreasonable!" ”

"Sun Dujian ......" Lu Qian was also a little anxious when he heard this, and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Tu waving his hand: "Lu Yuhou doesn't have to explain anything to these guys, I know very well what these people think, isn't it just that he is from the capital, so he looks down on us Qingzhou soldiers and doesn't take our laws and decrees seriously?" If even they can't be rectified, what else will this official use to order the three armies? Come, pull all of them to the cross street in front of the government, each of them will be heavily punished with a hundred military sticks, and then they will be flailed to the public for three days and nights to set an example! If it weren't for the fact that they were forbidden troops, the official would have shown them to the public a long time ago! ”

This murderous order made Lu Qian stunned and frightened. He really didn't expect Sun Tu's military law to be so strict, it was just a fight with people, and he was about to kill people. But then, he felt a pang in his heart, in this way, how could he explain to Zeng Kaiqian, he was ordered to find those people, but they were going to be beaten to death, and they had to be hung up to show the public.

But in the face of Sun Tu's anger, he was weak-hearted, and he finally got a good relationship with Sun Tu, but he couldn't be ruined because of this trivial matter. In the end, after some hesitation, he didn't say anything more after all, and reluctantly left to return to his life.

It wasn't until after he left that the anger on Sun Tu's face disappeared, replaced by a playful sneer, and looked at Zhu Wudao, who had already come over: "Do you think that this kind of practice can make Zeng Kaiqian and Lu Qian suspicious of each other, so that we can take advantage of it?" ”

"The overseers are scheming, and I expect them to turn against each other soon. And once he comes to this point, Lu Qian will definitely completely fall to the capital eunuch, so as to be used by us. This person is not a loyal person at first glance, as long as it is beneficial to himself, he can sell anything, let alone Zeng Kaiqian. ”

"Hehe, villain, it's always like this. Therefore, it is not right for some people to always mention that villains are not useful, whether it is a gentleman or a villain, it is just a matter of how you use it. A villain like Lu Qian can have an excellent effect as long as we use it properly. Of course, a villain like this should be cleaned up after using it. Until this time, Sun Tu's eyes showed hatred and murderous intent towards Lu Qian, but it was a pity that Lu Yuhou, who had already left the barracks, could not know.
