Qin Mubai smiled to himself: "I have admired your host for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to get acquainted." This time, if you can do a little bit for your host, it will be regarded as a face-to-face gift. ”

"General Qin is really smart, and I admire him to the fullest." Su Gan Chengji smiled brightly, his face was like a chrysanthemum blooming, he arched his hand and said flatteringly: "At the time of the temporary time, the owner repeatedly told him that no matter what the general sent or needed, he must let the subordinates do their best to meet them. After thinking about it again and again, the general is in a high position and proud, and he is a rich and noble person, and there will be no shortage of yellow and white vulgar things. It's just that it's hard to see an outstanding woman in this poor place in Jiangzhou...... So he made a vain proposition for the general, and more than ten first-class beauties were placed in Quwo, a neighboring county in Jishan. If the general doesn't dislike it, why don't you take a time to take a trip to Quwo? ”

Qin Mubai laughed: "No wonder the owner sent you here, you are really a person who is very good at doing things." To tell the truth, I am busy in the military camp every day, and all I see are men helping me...... Even His Royal Highness King Wu couldn't stand it a little and ordered the assassin of Jiangzhou to look for a concubine. But how can those of us who are subordinates have such privileges. In this case, you can go back to Quwo and agree on a place to wait for me. When I go back, make up an excuse to get out of my body, and I'll go there to meet you. In addition, I also want to bring a letter to the owner, there is no pen and ink here, and I have no private seal, so I have to go back to the camp to prepare. ”

"That's very good." Su Gan Chengji arched his hand and smiled: "Then you are waiting for the general in the Qingming Tea Garden in Quwo County?" It was a secluded and elegant place that my friend had set up. Although it is not as good as the world's first wine in Chang'an, it guarantees that the general will feel at home after he goes, satisfied and comfortable. ”

"Good! That's it! Qin Mubai stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "This is really a long-term drought and nectar, and I have met my old acquaintance in another country." I want to thank you! ”

"How dare you be able to do the errand ordered by the owner, and be able to serve the general one or two, and it is an honor to be here."

"Then I shall go back to the camp first, lest he be suspicious? Later, when you return to Quwo, don't make a big fuss. ”

"The general is relieved that he is always cautious in doing things."

After a while, Qin Mubai left here, got in the carriage, and returned to the flood control embankment along the same road. Naturally, no one asked Qin Mubai about his private affairs. Immediately, he secretly summoned a team of henchmen of the Hundred Horsemen to secretly teach him a secret.

"Go ahead! It's just in time to hit the road. Remember to do it cleanly! For the first time, Qin Mubai's eyes burst out with such a fierce killing intent.

"Don't worry, general, I'll wait!"

Seeing a team of hundred horsemen disappearing into the woods like ghosts, Qin Mubai couldn't help but snort coldly, and a trace of cruel pleasure flashed through his heart!

You must die!

Otherwise, I, Qin Mubai, will die!

It's just that Li Chengqian is too confused because he doesn't know the current affairs, and he actually sent someone to criticize me at this time. If there is no intervention from the emperor in this matter, it will be a big deal, and I will pass the trouble to Li Ke to deal with.

Now that Rigan Chengji has appeared, he must become a substitute for the dead. Otherwise, I will either disobey the emperor and betray Li Ke, or I will swear to the crown prince from now on!

Two hours later it was night.

Qin Mubai lit a lamp and read in his military tent.

At this time, a hundred horsemen flickered into the military tent and bowed down in front of Qin Mubai.

"How's it going?"

"It's already done. None of the six people were left alive - the class finger is here! With that, the pawn handed it over in a small cloth bag.

Qin Mubai unfolded it and saw that it was indeed the leading class finger he had just seen.

The pawn continued: "We will kill these six people according to the general's orders, and then hand over the corpses to the Quwo County Ya. Let's just say that these six people are Jiang Yang, who stole the treasures of the East Palace, and then swaggered around. We are waiting for the identity of the hundred horsemen to be revealed, and the other party is convinced. ”

"Well done." Qin Mubai looked at the class finger for a while and said, "Later, you work hard, set off overnight and rush to Chang'an to return the class finger to the prince of the East Palace." If he interrogates you, you will do what you have just said. ”

"The villain saves the general's peace of mind."

"Go ahead!"

The pawn answered and went out.

Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief.

This is probably the most ruthless thing I have ever done in my life. Six human lives themselves just disappeared in an instant with a wave of their hands.

The struggle in officialdom is so dangerous, if you want not to be killed or be cannon fodder, you have to step on other people's corpses and move forward, and use more other people as guns and cannon fodder.

Qin Mubai thought very clearly, although he was the one who killed Li Chengqian's henchman, the other party not only did not hate him, but he had to be grateful to himself.

The reason is very simple - Qin Mubai is undoubtedly hinting to the prince in doing this: You have a stupid move! It's too late to repent of it!

If Li Chengqian hadn't been stupid enough to point fingers, he would definitely have figured out Qin Mubai's reason for doing this! - A subordinate dares to kill a prince's henchman, is he crazy? The only reason that prompted him to do so was because there were people more powerful than the crown prince watching his every move behind his back!

Who else could there be?!

If Li Chengqian wakes up now, it is not too late for the emperor to order Qin Mubai to handle this case. The most important thing he should do now is to get rid of Shengnanhou as soon as possible. Unless you do so, you can't protect yourself.

Qin Mubai wanted to protect himself and killed six people, including Su Gan Chengji; If Li Chengqian wants to protect himself, he must fall into the well against Shengnanhou, Zhang Tianci and others!

That's the rule of the game!

In fact, Qin Mubai didn't have a good impression of Li Chengqian, nor did he hate it, and he didn't even see him. He is doing this now for no more than two purposes: one is, of course, to neither disobey Li Shimin, betray Li Ke, nor offend the prince. He has always understood the truth of multiple friends, multiple roads, fewer enemies, and fewer walls, not to mention that both sides are not easy to offend; Second, he also hoped that Li Chengqian would wake up and take action in advance to minimize the turmoil in this case.

If Li Chengqian is smart, at this time, he can go to Li Shimin to preemptively report and expose Nanhou, then he will not only have no fault, but may also have merit. In this way, those with ill-intentioned intentions who secretly want to take advantage of this case to stir up trouble and talk about the abolition of the establishment will have no way to start, and the court will be able to avoid a major shock.

There are no eggs under the nest, and the great earthquake of the imperial court is not good for anyone. Qin Mubai didn't want to engage in any political speculation, and at such a time, he speculated and reversed the target in order to achieve the goal of rising to the top. Especially if he is in such a sensitive position as a hundred horsemen, and he comes out to handle this sensitive case this time, once there is a turmoil, he will be in the center of the most dangerous whirlpool.

It's so simple to be an official in a peaceful and prosperous world. Qin Mubai just wanted that this time the case should not be particularly noisy to the point where the imperial court abolished the prince. Regardless of whether Li Shimin really wants to abolish the crown prince, it is his business, and he used it as a gun for no reason, and then he was involved in the battle for the heir and suffered a disaster.

After I get out of the matter, it's none of my business for you Li Shimin to toss as much as you like.

Moreover, Qin Mubai also had a little intention of taking care of Li Ke in his heart.

In the Jiangzhou case, Li Shimin sent Li Ke to investigate, which undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront and tested him many times. If the storm can begin to calm down from Li Chengqian, it will be tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and Li Shimin's attention will be directly turned to Li Chengqian, which is the best way.

In this way, Li Ke's pressure will be much less. As Li Ke's partner, he is naturally much more peaceful.

Why not kill a Su Gan Chengji, the cheap prince, King Wu and so many people himself?

Maybe he was already destined to be cannon fodder and a substitute for the dead......

The matter was done, and Qin Mubai felt a little calmer in his heart. Although he took six lives, it was far more comfortable than facing countless cold guns and arrows and even guillotines by himself.

At this moment, Qin Mubai finally understood the meaning of a sentence: all politicians are black-hearted and ruthless. Otherwise, he would not have become a "family", and he would have already become a stepping stone for others or a substitute for the dead before that.

After coming to Datang and stepping into the official career, he completely changed in less than a year. I couldn't do this kind of thing before.

That's also because...... Never faced a life-and-death crisis before!

At this time, Qin Mubai finally realized that history has always been written by the victors, and political struggles have only the final success or failure, and there is no absolute good or evil...... Even if he is a generation of saint monarch Li Shimin who is praised by later generations, he has more blood on his hands than anyone else!

……

After all, it was the first time to kill so many people, although he didn't do it himself, Qin Mubai's heart was inevitably a little turbulent, and he didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. And he was thinking about whether it was necessary to tell Li Ke about this matter of Sugan Chengji......

In the end, he decided that he didn't want to!

If Li Ke knew that he had done this, with his shrewdness and mental skills, he would soon be able to think of Qin Mubai's behavior, although it was for the good of the two of them, but it also meant to help Li Chengqian secretly.

Who can know what kind of views and attitudes Li Ke has towards this East Palace prince in his heart, and whether he is in a state of absolute hatred with him? It's better to have more than less, and not to tell him!

If Li Chengqian is smart enough, not only will he not grudge with him this time, but he will also be tantamount to making a favor to him. Although there is no need to befriend him, it is better than revenge!

The night was dark, the horn of sleeping had already sounded in the army, and there was only silence all around, and occasionally the soldiers patrolling the camp walked neatly.

Qin Mubai finally felt a little tired, and soon after lying down, someone suddenly ran outside the tent and asked to see him.

"The general's subordinates have something important to report!" He is a man of a hundred horsemen.

"Come in!" Qin Mubai turned over and sat up.

"General Chen Yan is gone!" Coming in was one of the two hundred horsemen who were in charge of monitoring and guarding Chen Yan.

"What?!" Qin Mubai frowned, "When did it appear?" ”

"Half of the incense stick was still seen walking back and forth in the room with the lamp lit before. The villain just went to relieve himself, and when he came back, he disappeared, and no one could be found! The pawn said a little nervously and panickedly.

Qin Mubai's brows tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he was suddenly surprised and annoyed, and shouted: "Not good!" ”
