With a snap, a fine Jun porcelain tea bowl was smashed to the ground and suddenly shattered its bones, which made several relatives and guards in front of the hall hang their heads down, and even their breathing became much lighter, and they didn't dare to look up at Zeng Kaiqian, who was already angry and his face turned blue, for fear that he would be angry.

Sun Tu ordered people to severely punish Jin Kui and a few people, and after beating a hundred military sticks in public, he put people in shackles on the cross street, which was naturally extremely difficult for Zeng Jian Jun to accept, because in his opinion, this was clearly not getting along with himself, and when the people were pointing and talking about the identity and crimes of those forbidden soldiers, there was no difference between talking about him.

So Zeng Kaiqian sent someone to the barracks to see Sun Tu, hoping that he could open up on the Internet for the sake of his face and release the person back. But this time, Sun Tu seemed to be extremely iron-faced and selfless, and he didn't have the slightest intention of accommodating at all, so he sent people back, and he also had a lot of complaints about him, the prison army, thinking that it was because of his indulgence that such chaos occurred in Qingzhou City.

In this way, it naturally annoyed Zeng Kaiqian, he really didn't expect that his face would not be able to save even a few of his subordinates, but what Jin Kui and the others did was seen by many people, so that even if he was angry, he had nowhere to vent, and in the end he could only throw things at his residence to vent his anger, and then curse a few words behind his back Sun Tu was bold and reckless.

At the same time, he also hated Jin Kui for refusing to obey orders to stay in Xingyuan, if they hadn't sneaked out despite their own warnings, how could such a thing have happened? Therefore, they are completely to blame for their suffering, and it is only the key to disgrace themselves. For this reason, he once again issued a strict order with those forbidden troops, and anyone who dared to go out without permission against the order would have to be severely punished.

Of course, after seeing Jin Kui's tragic ending, others didn't dare to go out easily, and it wasn't until this time that these self-righteous guys with an inexplicable sense of superiority over the local soldiers finally recognized the reality and knew that this Qingzhou was not where they could be presumptuous.

Zeng Kaiqian's breath couldn't be spread out after all, so when he saw Lu Qian, who was probably already co-opted by Sun Tu, he was even more angry, and he used words to squeeze the other party several times, which made Lu Yuhou also secretly angry, but because of the identity of the other party, he could only endure it, and finally had to avoid going to the side courtyard, not daring to dangle in front of him anymore. It's just that when he does this, in the eyes of people who are already suspicious, it is even more of a sign of weakness.

"Now that Lu Qian has been co-opted by Sun Tu, and I am a bunch of waste under my hands, it is dangerous to even enter the barracks now, but what should I do? I can't just stay in Xingyuan and do nothing, otherwise the court won't spare me after a while......" After dropping the tea bowl, Zeng Kaiqian walked around the hall restlessly, he has been here for more than 20 days, but he only entered the barracks once, and then he said that he was sick and shrunk in Xingyuan, even he himself was a little unable to accept such progress.

Just when he felt helpless, a cronie came to the door: "Master, the villain has something important to report." ”

Seeing the person coming, Zeng Kaiqian's heart suddenly rejoiced, and immediately called him in and closed the door. Because this person was the person he had sent to secretly investigate Qi Shengsheng before, because he was not from the forbidden army, he was not found by the people in the scout camp, so he naturally completed the errand safely.

Now, in front of Zeng Kaiqian, he told the truth about what he had heard: "That Qi Desheng is indeed a local veteran general in Qingzhou, he was the commander of the army when Murong Yanchao was in charge, and now he still holds this position. However, he had made a lot of contributions to Sun Tu in the past few years, and the Qingzhou Army had only slowly grown under his careful training, and it had reached the point where it is today. But because he is not a descendant of Sun Tu and is not good at stammering, his status has not been promoted.

"Originally, Sun Tu had given up the post of Qingzhou Soldier and Horse Supervisor last year, and it stands to reason that this position should be succeeded by Qi Desheng. But as a result, he would rather transfer Dong Ping from Dongping Mansion to take over than hand over the position to Qi Desheng...... It is said that many officers and soldiers in the army were dissatisfied with this, and Qi Desheng himself said that he was sick at home for many days, and he did not return to the barracks until Sun Tu personally came to the door. This is a good hand at inquiring about things, and in a few days, he has found out the relevant news of Qi Desheng.

When Zeng Kaiqian heard this, his spirit was even more uplifted: "From this point of view, Qi Desheng definitely has a big complaint against Sun Tu, okay, this is our opportunity." What's more, he is still the main general of the Qingzhou Army, as long as he can pull him to my side, it will be much easier to seize power in the shadows. By the way, can you find out when he will be able to leave the barracks and where he lives? ”

"The generals in the barracks generally don't go out, but he has a family in the city, so he is allowed by Sun Tu to go home once every five days. It's time for him to go home tonight, and his home is in Swallow Lane, south of the city. ”

"Okay, then you'll be ...... No, the official has to go to him in person, so that we can show our sincerity. "It is related to the overall situation of his own situation in Qingzhou, Zeng Kaiqian does not dare to slack off at all, even if the other party is just a small eight-rank military attaché, he has to condescend to this trip.

After dusk, he quietly walked out of the side gate accompanied by three or five personal guards, and cautiously came all the way to the south of the city, and found the house that looked really ordinary: "This is Qi Desheng's residence?" It seems that his situation in Qingzhou is indeed very bad, and Sun Tu is too bad at employing people! ”

With a complaint in his mouth, he obviously ignored that the other party was just the most inconspicuous military attaché, and it was impossible to have a big mansion and power in any state capital. Of course, these arguments can naturally be used by him to persuade the other party to use them for his own use.

After knocking on the door to attract people in the house and revealing his identity, Zeng Kaiqian was quickly let into the house by Qi Desheng, who was surprised to greet him. The general looked really bad at this time, and his face was a little gray, it should be because he was not less excluded in the barracks, so he was in a bad mood.

After inviting Zeng Jianjun to sit in the hall, Qi Desheng asked with some hesitation: "I don't know why the prison army suddenly came to see the last general, but do you have any orders?" ”

"Hehe, General Qi doesn't have to be so nervous, this official doesn't have any bad intentions when he comes to see you." Zeng Kaiqian smiled at him kindly, and only after a few words of relief did he say: "I just heard that the general had worked hard for the establishment of the Qingzhou Army and made great contributions, but now he was excluded by Sun Tu so that I felt unfair for you, and I came to see you." ”

"Sun Dujian has never been sorry for his humble duties, I ......" Qi Desheng just wanted to say a few words, but was interrupted by the other party waving his hand: "I know that you are not good at telling the truth because you have concerns." Yes, Sun Tu is now in Qingzhou, and even in the whole of Shandong, he is like a one-handed existence, sometimes he doesn't even pay attention to the imperial court, how can he not make people feel afraid?

"Your difficulties, the official also knows. For a capable and hard-working general like you, the court should have promoted him greatly. But now? I'm afraid that more than half of your credit has fallen on Sun Tu's own head, he has become the prisoner of Shandong all the way, but what about you, but you can't even get the prisoner of Qingzhou, you are depressed and sick, haven't you thought about taking back everything that belongs to you? ”

Zeng Kaiqian was like the poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, constantly tugging at Qi Sheng's heartstrings: "This official knows that you are afraid of Sun Tu's power and methods, but with this official here, I will be able to protect you." I am the military supervisor ordered by the imperial court, and I am not under Sun Tu's capital prison in terms of power, as long as I am here, he will not hurt you in the slightest. And as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, this official guarantees that once Sun Tu is driven out of this position, the position of Jingdong Road Supervisor will be in your pocket! ”

Well, this person's tone is really big, and after a few words, he promised Qi Desheng such a big piece of cake. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that this kind of prison all the way was not arbitrary, but he expected that the other party did not know the inside story, so he simply painted an excellent prospect.

Sure enough, Qi Desheng's eyes showed a look of struggle: "I am naturally grateful to the prison army for looking up to villains so much, but after all, I am only a small role in the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility." ”

"Hey, General Qi, you're too arrogant. As I said, you are the foundation of Qingzhou Junneng today, how can he dare to put all the credit on himself? Others may not know, but the generals and soldiers in the army know very well in their hearts, so as long as you are willing to stand on my side, you don't have to worry about not being able to balance Sun Tu! Anyway, this kind of opportunity is not always available, a good future is at your fingertips, it just depends on whether you have the courage to do so! In the end, Zeng Kaiqian's eyes were already fixed on Qi Desheng's face.

To say that Zeng Kaiqian is indeed worthy of being a squire in the court, and his eloquence is not something that a warrior like Qi Desheng can deal with at all, and in an instant, he has been flustered, his eyes are constantly drooping, and he does not dare to look at him.

And after a long while, Qi Desheng finally mustered up his courage and said in a low voice: "The last general...... The last general is willing to work for the prison army, but this matter is too big for me to do. ”

Zeng Kaiqian, who heard this answer, was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "This is very simple, you just need to meet more with familiar subordinate generals and let them follow you when the time comes." As for what to do, it's simple, and when the time comes, when the officer goes to the barracks, you just listen to my orders. ”

After a pause, he remembered a little more: "By the way, there is another thing I also want you to help me investigate, that is, Lu Qian has been very close to Sun Tu recently, whether he has been co-opted by Sun Tu, you gave me the answer earlier." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands." Qi Desheng hurriedly responded.

Zeng Kaiqian, who received a satisfactory answer, was in a good mood, and the sullenness that had been stagnant in his heart for many days finally dissipated most of it at this moment-you Sun Tu wanted to suppress me by winning over Lu Qian, and you must not have thought that I would repay the favor with my own way, so that you can also taste the taste of being betrayed!
