() Dong Yu has been in the palace for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the battles and fights in this palace, and now he is deeply involved in it, and he also cares about benevolence, righteousness and morality, not to mention the sixth elder brother, if it is really his own parents, I am afraid that he will have to fight to the death and fight to the death.

"Li San, come here." Dong Yu called to the subordinate, who was hunched over and curled up together, but he looked like a turtle.

"I have commanded you to keep watch day and night. There can't be a little mistake, if those officers and soldiers really find out something, they will immediately put the peddler who gave him the news to the prison, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, do you understand? ”

"Subordinates understand, understand." There was a sly light in the man's eyes.

"What about Dong Zhe?" Dong Yu asked.

"Back to my lord, my son hasn't come back yet."

"Alas, nothing can be counted on him." Dong Yu shook his head, seemingly disappointed in his son.

Dong Yu has already prepared to contact the Shuzhou garrison and send troops to the capital from all over the country, and now there is only one opportunity left, and this opportunity is the day when the sixth elder brother and Qi Yuan are in a-for-tat confrontation, and it is the time to send troops.

If there is no evidence, with the temperament of other courtiers, I am afraid that they will not help themselves, and it is still too early to tell them, firstly, their own regime in the court is not stable, and secondly, I don't know what the opinions of the civil and military officials are, if the purpose is exposed in advance, I am afraid that it will lead to death.

And since he came to garrison the capital, he has repeatedly sent inspectors and inspectors to inspect in the imperial court, Dong Yu is like a mirror in his heart, that Qi Yuan, not only to inspect all places and be sympathetic to the people's feelings, but more importantly, he sent people to monitor him from time to time, if there are signs of recruiting troops, Qi Yuan will definitely not spare himself.

Dong Yu stroked his beard and sighed, he was not too sure of the hope of this rebellion, he could only say that it was divided into fifty and fifty, in the past, when Dong Zhe was in the court, he had one article and one martial arts, one held the power of soldiers and horses, and the other strategized, so he still had some hope, but now, he has exposed his identity and almost got his son in.

The prefect of Yangzhou betrayed him and intended to escape, Dong Yu was very worried in his heart, fortunately, there was still a newcomer in the court who could be trusted, if the final plan failed, he would directly kill the sixth elder brother, and he could be regarded as the founder of the country, and if he made Qi Yuan happy, he would naturally be in a high position.

In the palace of the sixth elder brother, he sat alone in the study, and the letter in his hand was sent by Xue Tan.

It says that Du Jiang must not be killed for the time being.

Now Dong Yu and Qi Yuan have a secret meeting, and they are sent to investigate the matter of the Jinghong Pavilion, and Dong Yu is in charge of supervising, if something goes wrong with Xue Tan at this time, then Qi Yuan will not let himself go no matter what, and will definitely investigate strictly.

When the time comes, not only the people of Dali Temple, but also in the inner and imperial courts, those who want to try their best to please Qi Yuan will inevitably do their best to find the real culprit.

If Xue Tan revealed his identity at this time, then the plan of the sixth elder brother would never see the light of day.

In addition, in the letter written by Xue Tan to the sixth elder brother, he also told him that the geisha's family had already died in Huangquan, and asked him not to worry, which made the sixth elder brother feel a little relieved.

Xue Tan and Chang Lei went to the barracks to live, met Du Jiang, the prefect of Yangzhou, and made several introductions, and got acquainted with Chen Dongshan, the envoy of Jiedu.

Chen Dongshan said: "A few newcomers, not familiar with the situation in this army, this military camp is not as good as your capital, rules and regulations, writing standards, is very regular, all who come to this army to engage, are vigorous and strong, if you are interested, I will naturally teach you a trick or two, but, see you are skinny, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold on for a few days, and then return to the hometown." ”

Chang Lei glanced at Xue Tan, Xue Tan didn't speak, just stood aside and listened quietly, and he was not angry.

"But since you were personally sent by the crown prince, I naturally have the obligation to help you, but the army is also mixed, if those people don't listen to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to discipline, as long as force and decisiveness, you can mix in this army."

"If you have any concerns, it is better to ask the prefect to introduce you to a detailed job. When I go home, embroider needlework and thread, and read the books of the sages. ”

As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers in the army laughed wildly.

Chang Lei saw that Xue Tan had not moved, so he planned to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Xue Tan.

"Lord Chen, what are you talking about, Xue Gongzi came from Yangzhou thousands of miles away, and he is a candidate appointed by the prince, so he naturally has a strength, so he will go to Yangzhou to take up the position of director. Instead of helping, you laugh and ridicule, what do you think? ”

"Besides, although this Xue Tan is a weak scholar, I don't see that you Wen Taowu is slightly better at him, saying such big words, are you afraid that someone will take away your political achievements in the end, and make people laugh off their big teeth?"

Chang Lei finally couldn't help it and helped Xue Tan speak, but Xue Tan just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Since the adults are right

If you're so confident, why not give it a try? If we lose, we will naturally pack up and leave, but if you lose, not only will you give my brother an official position, but also help us manage the barracks. ”

Xue Tan, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"This ......" Chen Dongshan frowned, the size of the barracks has always been handled by himself, and he has been in the army for a long time, and he finally gained status and respect by force, if he really loses, he will not only be embarrassed, but also lose the connections and trust accumulated over the years.

Although Chang Lei looked ordinary, Chen Dongshan just glanced at it, this person is strong, but he looks like a person who practices martial arts, he doesn't know the roots, and he doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

Suddenly, Xue Tan thought for a moment and said lightly, "Brother Chang, are you sure?" ”

Chang Lei was stunned for a moment, only then did he react to what he meant, understood it, and hurriedly replied to him: "Seventy percent sure." ”

"Okay." Xue Tan didn't look at him, stepped forward, and said to Chen Dongshan, the envoy of the festival: "Since you don't mind, you can fight with my brother." ”

"What, scared? I hope that Mr. Chen will cooperate with my work in the future. Xue Tan sneered, he knew that if Chen Dongshan didn't dare to compete at this time, even if he hadn't lost the bet, in this barracks, he would be somewhat affected, after all, in the barracks, he had always admired such a weak act of force, and there would definitely not be many people who would believe him in the future.

"How...... How so? Chen Dongshan hurriedly said, and secretly glanced at the people in the soldiers, and the bottom had already begun to talk about it, and with a snicker, he was embarrassed.

"Okay, then the rules are up to you." Xue Tan said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's test martial arts, don't come to those things in the examination room, on the battlefield, what is important is real power." Chen Dongshan picked up a bronze three-ring knife and said.

Xue Tan also knew in his heart, after all, Chang Lei was also a person beside Qi Yuan, if it weren't for the sixth elder brother who found out about his appearance, I'm afraid that he would be the one who is in charge now. But one more thing to say: "Be careful." ”

Chang Lei said "um", stepped forward, picked up a sword, the sword was unsheathed, the edge was exposed, and the sound of "呑呑" was rubbed between the blade and the scabbard.

"It's coming!" Chen Dongshan shouted.
