"Red clay?" Huberwin was stunned, and involuntarily looked down at the boots. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Lord Hu can take off his boots now to take a look, on the soles of your feet, there should be red clay stuck on them, it really didn't look very remarkable at that time, but I suddenly thought that Lord Hu, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, pays great attention to his appearance, not only will his clothes be clean and tidy every day, but also every night before resting, he will send someone to wash his boots, this is not wrong, right?" ”

Along the way, everyone knew that Hu Bowen did have this habit, but no one cared.

"Before going to bed last night, Lord Hu let people brush their boots as always, and after setting off this morning, there was only one break on the way, and Lord Hu didn't go anywhere at that time, I still remember that there was no red clay in the resting place." Qi Ning said slowly: "Before Lord Hu arrived in this deserted village, he almost always rode horses, and his boots rarely stuck to the ground, so before arriving at the deserted village, it was naturally impossible for the boots to be stained with red soil. ”

Huberwin's face was ugly and he did not speak.

"So when Ben Hou returned to the house, he also checked his boots, but there was not a trace of red clay on my boots." Qi Ning sighed: "After the incident with Master Hu, we both walked around the village, if Lord Hu's boots were stained with red soil, I should be no exception, but why is this not the case?" So I asked Qi Feng to check carefully, there was no red soil and mud in the village, and when they were searching for assassins, they searched near the village, Lord Hu, guess what they found? ”

Hu Bowen said lightly: "What did you find?" ”

"Beyond the entrance of the village, there is a small pond." Qi Ning said with a smile: "It's strange to say, on the edge of the pond, the soil is very peculiar, and the color is reddish, Qi Feng took the soil back, I can see at a glance that it is exactly the same as the red clay on Lord Hu's boots, if Lord Hu doesn't believe it, we can go to the pond to compare now." ”

Hu Bowen sneered, but his face was obviously pale.

Qi Ning sighed and said, "I thought about it carefully, in fact, it is not difficult to figure it out, Lord Hu said that he has been staying in the house, he should not be telling the truth, you went to the pond at least once, it was so pouring, Lord Hu didn't stay in his own house, but he had to brave the rain to the pond, why?" I then thought that Liang Xiong said that after the mission left Beijing, it was targeted, but this was not wrong, but the people who followed were not Wu Dalin's henchmen, but precisely your Lord Hu's people ......, well, this is not necessarily accurate, but the people and horses on the road are at least closely related to Lord Hu, and Lord Hu came out in the rain, of course, there is something to discuss with the visitor. ”

Hu Bowen said with a smile: "Master Hou, this is all conjecture, there is no real evidence, you said that I came out to meet with others, what evidence do you have?" ”

Qi Ning ignored it and continued: "Lord Hu went out of the village to meet people, of course, there is a reason why he must meet in secret, but Wu Dalin has arranged guards around the village, and if Lord Hu wants to go out of the village, it is inevitable that he will be seen. Of course, Liang Xiong can also transfer people away and find a gap for Master Hu to leave, but in doing so, there will still be loopholes, who can guarantee that Liang Xiong's transfer will not leak out, you may think that Ben Hou is young and easy to fool, but you don't dare to underestimate Team Leader Wu. ”

Wu Dalin's expression was cold, the big knife in his hand was always against Liang Xiong, Liang Xiong was lying on the ground, he was slashed by Li Tang on the shoulder, and the blood flowed, mixed with the rain on the ground.

"If Lord Hu has an urgent matter to go out of the village and meet with people, he can only find out his deeds, but if he wants to cover up this matter, he can only kill people and kill people." Qi Ning sighed: "It's a pity that the three Yulin brothers couldn't have thought that just because seeing you out of the village would lead to death." ”

Hu Bowen sneered: "Master Hou's words are strange, you said that Liang Xiong and I colluded, since this is the case, I sent Liang Xiong out of the village to see him, why should I go in the rain in person?" If Liang Xiong said that he was patrolling around the village, and if he went out of the village, naturally no one would suspect anything, so why did I have to venture out of the village by myself? ”

"You can see the people you want to meet, but Liang Xiong may not be able to see them." Qi Ning said lightly: "Liang Xiong's purpose is not different from yours, or...... From the beginning, Liang Xiong was just a pawn in the hands of your Lord Hu. ”

"Chess pieces?"

"The purpose of Liang Xiong's participation in the conspiracy, if I am not mistaken, he did not come for the mission, but for Wu Dalin." Qi Ning said: "Wu Dalin entered the Yulin Battalion, the time was not long, and he was directly transferred from the Xuanwu Battalion to the Yulin Battalion as the deputy commander, which was nothing, but Liang Xiong held a grudge because of it. ”

Liang Xiong lost a lot of blood, but he was born in a martial arts and was strong and strong, so he could barely hold on at this time, and sneered: "Hold a grudge? Why should I hold a grudge? ”

"Benhou ordered Qi Feng and them to test with the Yulin soldiers, and from their mouths, they knew something." Qi Ning said with a smile: "After your deputy leader Liang entered the Yulin Battalion, he was kind and kind, and he also had some skills, and even had a good relationship with Chi Fengdian, over the years, you have been promoted step by step, if nothing else, in the past two years, you are likely to be promoted to the deputy commander of the Yulin Battalion, but you never thought that the Yulin Battalion suddenly transferred two deputy commanders, and suddenly blocked your promotion path, if nothing else, it will be three or five years, and the position of the deputy commander will not be your turn." ”

Wu Dalin sneered: "It's just ridiculous that when I was transferred to the Yulin camp, this person still looked like he was in his heart, and it seemed that he met me very late. Staring at Liang Xiong condescendingly, he said lightly: "Liang Xiong, that day you invited me to drink, and said that you admired me a lot, and I was transferred to serve as the deputy commander, and you were convinced." ”

Liang Xiong's eyes leaked a fierce light, and he hissed: "I entered the Yulin camp, step by step until today, up and down the Yulin camp, I am accompanied by a smiling face, and I am usually more cautious, lest something go wrong, Chi Fengdian has already promised me that I will soon be qualified as the deputy commander." But as soon as you came, everything was ruined, and my years of hard work were in vain. He also stared at Wu Dalin and said: "You committed a crime back then, and the Jinyi Qi family also participated in the impeachment of you and transferred you to the border, I have not made any mistakes over the years, why can you still ride on my head?" ”

Hu Bowen's face changed slightly when he heard Liang Xiong say this, Liang Xiong said this, that is, he admitted that he did have hatred for Wu Dalin, and this guy was excited, but he was afraid that he would have to give it all up.

However, Liang Xiong is obviously quite cunning, and deliberately mentioning the grudge between Wu Dalin and the Jinyi Qi family is obviously intentional.

Wu Dalin smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to sow discord here. Everyone saw that I was ordered by General Qi to be beaten with 50 military sticks, and they all knew that the general later impeached me, but few people knew that after being beaten with 50 military sticks that day, in the middle of the night, the general personally came over and personally dressed me with medicine. That night, the general said directly to me that although we were slow to transport grain, although it was because of the heavy rain, but the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, and if the rewards and punishments are not clear, it will be difficult to convince the soldiers, so he wants to go to the court to impeach. He raised his head slightly and said: "That night, I also told the general that as a soldier, I will be punished, and I have nothing to say, and the general also gave me a dagger, which is still preserved." ”

Hu Bowen and Liang Xiong immediately changed color, they only thought that the Jinyi Qi family had participated in the impeachment of Wu Dalin, and Wu Dalin would inevitably be full of hatred for the Qi family, but they never imagined that there would be such a thing back then, at this time Wu Dalin talked about the matter, and naturally it was impossible to have any grudges with the Qi family.

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said: "Some men have clear grievances and know right and wrong, good and evil, but some people are unscrupulous and shameless for their own personal grievances. Staring at Liang Xiong: "This time the envoy, Wu Dalin is the team leader, you are the deputy team leader, after knowing this, you know that it is a great opportunity, and it just so happens that at this time, someone secretly found you, you smell the same, maybe someone also promised you that once you get rid of Wu Dalin, you can ascend to the position of deputy commander, this is exactly what you dream, you will naturally not let go of this great opportunity, so you have become a chess piece controlled by others." ”

Hu Bowen snorted coldly and said, "Master Hou's guess is really exciting. ”

"Guess or not, you know, I know." Qi Ning smiled and said: "Liang Xiong's purpose is to get rid of Wu Dalin, and your Lord Hu's goal is even greater, not only to get rid of Wu Dalin, but also to prevent the mission from going east, all this, you naturally have careful arrangements in advance, within the mission, you have Liang Xiong as a helper, outside the mission, you do have a team of men to respond, but from the beginning, you Gu Bu was confused, and wanted to use Liang Xiong to mislead Ben Hou, so that Ben Hou mistakenly thought that the team was Wu Dalin's henchmen." ”

"Centaurs?" Hu Bowen laughed, "But I don't see any of them now. ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Qi Ning said: "When it's time to come out, they will definitely come out, and I believe that just tonight, they are likely to make a move." ”

Hu Bowen frowned, Qi Ning continued: "When you go out of the village to meet with people secretly, you should discuss how to act next, and one day later, you will arrive at the Huai River, and after crossing the river, you will leave the territory of Chu State, and you will only be afraid of inconvenience at that time, so you can only seize this last opportunity." If the three guards found out that you were out of the village, you naturally wanted to kill people and kill people, if I guessed correctly, it was naturally Liang Xiong who gathered those three people together at that time, Liang Xiong attracted the idea of those three people, and your comrades took the opportunity to sneak attack from behind, you Lord Hu don't have that kind of martial arts, even if those three people will show you behind the back, with your ability, it is impossible to kill three people in a row. He smiled slightly and said, "Master Hu, I don't know how accurate my random guess is?" ”

Hu Bowen sighed: "If Master Hou goes to the teahouse to tell stories, he will definitely be welcomed by many people." ”

"If I really believe your words tonight and get rid of Wu Dalin here, the next team leader will naturally be Liang Xiong." Qi Ning said: "Liang Xiong has become the leader, without Wu Dalin's constraints, the entire mission will be controlled by you, and when the time comes, the team that will receive you will be killed, and the leader of the mission is an internal ghost, and the goods will naturally not be saved, you can even take this opportunity to kill Ben Hou in the chaotic battle, so that after returning to Beijing, the matter will become Wu Dalin colluded with others to sabotage the eastward movement of the mission, and Jinyi Hou also died at the hands of Wu Dalin's comrades, although you Lord Hu and your deputy team leader Liang also have to bear some responsibilities, But after all, there are still people behind you to protect you, and it will naturally be safe and sound at that time. Coughed, smiled, and said slowly: "The final result, Wu Dalin died, Liang Xiong became the deputy commander of the Yulin Battalion, the goods of the mission were destroyed, and it was naturally difficult to make another trip...... That's pretty much it, Master Hu, what I'm talking about in this book is wonderful, right? ”
