Xiahou Fang, in the main courtyard of the valve.

After listening to Xiahou Ba's words, the senior executives of Xiahou Valve were all very excited and said: "Yes, he doesn't dare to do such a big advantage, it's really contemptible!" ”

"Yes, if he really dares to attack the old man, the old man will respect him as a man." Xiahou Ba was also afraid for a while, he knew that he had won this gamble, and he was really Meng Lang. If the initial emperor ignores it and strikes first, he will really be more than lucky.

However, there are no ifs in this world, and people never ask only about the results. Now the result is that he won the bet, the initial emperor didn't dare to attack him at all, and Xiahou Ba completely reversed the unfavorable situation, so naturally everything can be said to be right.

"The lord's move is dangerous enough, and it is desperate!" Zhu Xiuyi smiled bitterly and shook the feather fan and said: "But fortunately, the lord won the bet, and then we should reap the fruits of victory, let the emperor regret his green intestines." ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed. Last night, they were still mourning, and they felt that the days to come were going to be sad. Who knew that the situation was reversed in one day, and the initiative returned to the side of Xiahou Valve.

"Don't laugh, the old man is still unconscious." Xiahou Ba stiffened his face and forced a smile: "Now it's time for your group of filial sons and grandsons to perform, let go of your hands and feet and make trouble, don't turn Luodu City upside down, don't come back to see me!" ”

"Understood!" Xiahou Valve and everyone were all excited. discussed in front of Xiahou Ba's couch how to split up, turning Luodu upside down, and the discussion did not disperse until dark.

。

Everyone else was assigned an errand, but Xiahou Lei didn't catch anything, and walked towards his yard sullenly.

"The second master stays." But he heard Zhu Xiuyi call him behind him.

"Sir." Xiahou Lei hurriedly stood on his feet and bowed his hand to Zhu Xiuyi respectfully.

"Why isn't the second master so happy? I just shouted at you a few times from behind, but I didn't answer me. Zhu Xiuyi and Xiahoulei have been very close in the past six months, and the two walked forward side by side, talking casually.

"Alas, I didn't hear Mr. shouting, otherwise how could I pretend to be dumb?" Xiahou Lei sighed and said: "I was panicked in my heart, when it was so dangerous today, I was the one who brought people into the palace to save the eldest brother, but the third child didn't dare to take this risk." But the eldest brother still let him be in charge for the time being, can I be happy? ”

"Hey, the third master's performance today is indeed not as good as the second master, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the valve owner is still used to trusting the third master." Zhu Xiuyi sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "I also thought that the second master's good days had arrived, but now it seems that I have to endure another while." ”

"Hey......" Xiahou Lei walked into the door of his house depressedly, glanced at the east cross courtyard where the house was empty, and said: "I'm this age, just stay up." But the child who was promoted to Tongguan was sent to Tongguan for more than half a year, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to Luodu. ”

Saying that, he looked at Zhu Xiuyi and said: "Sir, if I let Rongsheng take this opportunity to come back, anyway, there will be trouble up and down the valve, he is also the grandson of the valve owner, there is no reason why he can't come back and make trouble, right?" ”

"The second master's words are wrong," Zhu Xiuyi shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "It's not a bad thing for Rongsheng to leave Luodu, what you have to do now is to help him become the general of Tongguan as soon as possible, this position is inconspicuous now, but as long as there is a major event, you will immediately control the life and death of the whole clan." That's when he will show his strength! ”

"That's it......" Although Xiahou Lei was a little confused, he was used to obeying Zhu Xiuyi's words, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mr." ”

"That's right." Zhu Xiuyi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Rongsheng's blind involvement in the affairs of the capital will only make those people more unhappy with him, so let's make a fortune outside." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhu Xiuyi declined Xiahoulei's invitation and returned to his residence.

。

As soon as he separated from Xiahou Lei, Zhu Xiuyi's face became gloomy.

Today, Xiahou Ba didn't discuss with him, so he came to such a show, which really overturned Zhu Xiuyi's wishful thinking. In his plan, the Xiahou Valve should fight the initial emperor to the death, and then pull each valve into it little by little, and all of them will be greatly damaged. shattered the mountains and rivers of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and thousands of miles of white bones were the result he wanted most.

But Xiahou Ba's risky move continued, but the situation that he had worked so hard to break suddenly became clear again. The initial emperor's cowardice completely exposed the weak nature, how could Xiahou still take him in his eyes? There is no need for Zhu Xiuyi, a dog-headed military master, to come up with ideas, and the people of Xiahou Valve know what to do.

Zhu Xiuyi had already seen the tragic end of the Initial Emperor, and the victory of the Xiahou Valve seemed to be unstoppable. How can His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness of the Qianchao, who has been incognito for more than ten years, be willing?

Although he was still provoking Xiahou Lei just now, he didn't know when he would be able to use idle chess, and he couldn't change the current situation at all.

However, when he thought of Lu Valve's magical boy, he had a glimmer of hope. Although he can't do anything because of his identity, the father and son shouldn't admit defeat so easily, right?

There is also Pei Valve's ironclad army, which came a little too fast. If it were faster, wouldn't it just keep Xiahou Rongguang's elite rider out of the Tianjin Bridge?

Zhu Xiuyi carefully reviewed what happened today, and suddenly smelled something unusual from the clues.

'Yes, Pei Du is really in a hurry to rescue, why don't you bring cavalry like Glory? The more Zhu Xiuyi thought about it, the more she realized that Pei Valve's motives were very impure. It seems that I am not the only one who wants to fish in troubled waters, and it is far from the time when the winner is already decided. ’

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuyi cheered up again and walked towards his residence without hurrying.

When he turned a corner, he encountered a group of guards patrolling the night, and the leading officer asked in a deep voice.

"Who?"

"It's me." Zhu Xiuyi replied in his magnetic voice: "Old Niu, are you on duty again?" ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhu." The guard often patrolled near his house, so he was naturally familiar with Zhu Xiuyi for a long time. "The alley is dark, and the little one will send Mr. home."

"I'm tired." Zhu Xiuyi did not refuse, this is not the first time such a scene has been staged.

The officer gave orders to his men to continue patrolling, and he himself drove ahead with a lantern.

When he was about to walk to the door, Zhu Xiuyi suddenly asked the officer softly: "Has your family been running in the north recently?" ”

"Here, the north has not been peaceful recently, there are fewer business trips, and my family has no business." The officer replied in a whisper.

"So what's the matter, the more times like this, the more money you will make from a trip." Zhu Xiuyi seemed to be directing the business of the officer's family, but in fact he gave an order: "Bet all the capital and go to Zhenbei Pass to collect the old ginseng, I don't think there may be so evil over there, is it that the Zhenbei Army is not a decoration?" ”

"Okay, I'll tell my family, what the gentleman said must be right." The officer nodded gratefully.
