After Xiahou Ba became Otsuka Zai, Xiahou Bupo still served as his long history. This little Zhuge of the Xiahou valve already had a chronic illness, and he was in a hurry for so many days, so he naturally couldn't bear it.

"No, you can go back and rest, and let Mr. Zhu come over in the afternoon." Xiahou Ba frowned slightly, and said vaguely while eating a big meal.

"It's an old problem, and it doesn't matter." Xia Hou wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at the bloodshot on it, then held the handkerchief tightly in his hand, and said with a strong spirit: "It's uncle, these days have been eating and drinking, and there are many opportunities for daily management, so I still have to rest more, and the future will be long." ”

"I'll talk about it for a while." Xiahou Ba said categorically: "Strike while the iron is hot, while the valves haven't come up with a perfunctory method, first grab the right to be caught, set up the rules that should be established, pinch their necks, and then slowly cook it later, isn't it simple?" ”

"Uncle is talking about ......" Xiahou Bupo nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiahou Undefeated walking in quickly from outside.

"Undefeated, aren't you in the barracks? Why did you come back now? Xiahou Ba looked at Xiahou undefeated strangely.

"Uncle Qiqi, my nephew received a secret letter, the matter is very important, and I have to come back quickly to report it." Xiahou Undefeated handed an envelope to Xiahou Ba with a solemn expression.

。

The main courtyard of the valve, in the signing room.

After reading the secret letter brought back by Xiahou Undefeated, Xiahou Ba fell into a stupor, and no longer looked like he was excited.

After being silent for a cup of tea, Xiahou Ba handed the letter to Xiahou Bupo, and signaled Xiahou Undefeated to close the door of the signing room.

"Who sent this letter, and did the person who sent it catch it?" Xiahou Ba asked in a deep voice that Xiahou was undefeated.

"Someone sent it to the gate of the barracks, and by the time I ordered someone to arrest it, it was already gone." Xiahou shook his head undefeated.

At this time, Xiahou Bupo read the letter and coughed violently uncontrollably.

"It's, it's true...... Is it fake? How could Mr. Zhu be the fifth prince of Eastern Qi? ”

"Hey, I'm scared too." Xiahou was undefeated and also had a ghostly expression. Zhu Xiuyi is the great military division of the Xiahou Valve, and for many years the Xiahou Ba has obeyed his words, and almost all of the Xiahou Valve's policies are from his handwriting.

If this person is a spy harboring evil intentions, the Xiahou Valve will inevitably fall into chaos for a long time! just reviewed the people who had contact with Zhu Xiuyi, and those who were recommended by Zhu Xiuyi to be appointed and promoted; Examine whether all past decisions and actions have been misled, used, or deceived...... I don't know how long it will take, how much manpower and material resources it will take!

"I'll go and invite him with Immortal, and my uncle will know in the first trial!" Xiahou was undefeated and turned around and was about to go out.

"Stop!" Xiahou Ba stopped Xiahou undefeated with a dark face. "Can this kind of thing be investigated publicly?"

"Yes, if you ask Zhu Xiuyi directly, I'm afraid everyone will be in danger." Xiahou Bupo coughed twice and explained to Xiahou Undefeated.

"Huh......" Xiahou was undefeated, so he stood depressed. In fact, he may not know that he can't make a noise about this matter, but as Xiahou Bupo said, almost everyone in the valve has flattered Zhu Xiuyi, even him, the great grandmaster...... After messing up the assassination of Lu Xin, Xiahou was undefeated and bribed Zhu Xiuyi to avoid punishment and continue to be in charge of the East Battalion.

The reason why he was in a hurry to shout and kill was nothing more than to clear up his own involvement.

But at this time, Xiahou Ba didn't pay attention to these details at all, and all his thoughts were spent on reminiscing and Zhu Xiuyi's bits and pieces over the years, reviewing whether there was anything suspicious.

But he kept thinking about it, and he couldn't think of anything. I only feel that Zhu Xiuyi's idea over the years, although it is not as mysterious and unpredictable as the separation of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty during the Southern Expedition and the change of Bao'en Temple eleven years ago, but it is also decent, and there has never been any big difference.

No, he still helped himself sit firmly on the throne of Otsuka Zai, completely suppressed the initial emperor's party, and the final victory was within reach. Among the strategists throughout the ages, Zhang Liang and Guo Jia are nothing more than that, what else can they force Zhu Xiuyi to?

Could it be that the initial emperor's party was unwilling to fail and deliberately released false news to disturb the military morale of the Xiahou lord? Xiahou Ba naturally inevitably made this conjecture, but the content of the letter was extremely detailed, how the five princes of the former Eastern Qi Dynasty were high, how to incarnate Zhu Xiuyi step by step, and how to gain Xiahou Ba's trust step by step, and step by step to use Xiahou Valve to achieve his goal of causing trouble in the world, the story is very true and credible, as seen and heard.

There are even a lot of records in the letter, which are what Xiahouba said to Zhu Xiuyi alone, and at a glance, you can know that it was said by an insider, and it was definitely not fabricated.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiahou Ba still couldn't get the charter, so he had to look at Xiahou Bupo for help and said, "No, do you have a way?" ”

"Uncle, if I think about it, even if someone frames this matter, we have to investigate it thoroughly, and return Mr. Zhu's innocence, right?" Xiahou coughed a few times and said his opinion: "So a thorough investigation is inevitable, but first, you can't make a big splash, and second, you can't let Zhu Xiuyi notice it." ”

"Of course." Xiahou Ba nodded with a gloomy face. Zhu Xiuyi is not just a strategist, he is also a Heavenly Rank Grand Master. This kind of character who can fight and is cunning, will run away at the slightest breeze. This person knows the secret of Xiahou Valve, and he must not let him escape from Xiahou Fang!

"It's my nephew's suggestion, let's test him." Xiahou Bupo lowered his voice and proposed to Xiahou Ba: "Early tomorrow morning, when this lord is deliberating, my uncle may wish to ask him how we should get along with the emperor in the future, if he said to keep the emperor to take his time, then it should not be a spy." On the contrary, if he instigated his uncle to kill the emperor quickly, he would be a spy with evil intentions......"

"What do you mean by that?" Xiahou Ba frowned and asked.

"Because, for my Xiahou valve, it is the best policy to harvest power steadily and gather people's hearts now. Killing an emperor who has become a complete decoration will cause a commotion. Listening to Xiahou Bupo's deep voice: "But this situation of the virtual monarch is not only beneficial to my Xiahou valve, but also conducive to the stability of Daxuan, and even in ten or twenty years, there will be no more chaos." If he was a rebel and a thief, how could he wait so long? ”

"Not bad." Xiahou Ba's eyes lit up, patted Xiahou Bupo's shoulder and said: "What you said is very reasonable, just do what you say, let's try him tomorrow, and we will know whether it is loyalty or treachery!" ”

"There are many dreams at night, and I can't wait for tomorrow!" Xiahou Ba has always been resolute, once he made up his mind, he didn't want to delay for a moment, so he told Xiahou to be undefeated in a deep voice: "You have someone notify Lingyun Hall to hold a meeting, and then call the uninjured and immortal here......

"Yes." Xiahou nodded heavily, knowing that at the critical moment, the valve owner still only believed in his own family.

"Go ahead, don't let the wind go!" Xiahou Ba's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If that guy is really a spy with evil intentions, the old man will swallow him alive!" ”
