The official Shangshu knelt forward and climbed half a step, bowed his head and continued: "Your Majesty, Dazai is dead, and the rest of the party is destroyed. It's just that --- is still in danger at the moment, many courtiers have been killed in the name of Dazai's remnants, and there are three or four vacancies in the court, and no one can rest assured to assist the government. In the long run, it will be detrimental to the country. Moreover, the holy grace is vast, and it is famous all over the world for its generosity, benevolence and righteousness, and the killing is too heavy, which may damage the reputation of Tianwei. ”

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Aiqing has something to say, so you don't have to go around in circles." ”

Wang Guoquan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Wechen--- Wechen has the courage to speak out, and I implore the emperor to make a decree to announce that Dazai and the rest of the party in the world have been ambushed, and others will not be held accountable." So that the ministers can be in politics with peace of mind and assist the Holy God in governing the world. ”

The emperor turned his face and asked Dong Linsong: "The Ministry of Rites, do you also think that the killing is too heavy?" ”

Dong Linsong kowtowed and said, "The minister doesn't think so." In troubled times, it is time to use heavy canons, be holy with an iron fist, be wise and martial, and eliminate evil! ”

The emperor nodded and smiled, and thought with joy: The faint ministers of the Manchu Dynasty finally have someone who understands!

But Wang Guoquan was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart: Dude, we discussed it before we came, and we had already reached a consensus. said that you had a unified voice, but you suddenly changed your words. Fool me?!

Ma Yuanqi joined the Red Turban Army as he wished, and because he had read books and wrote good handwriting, he was assigned to Ruan Wu's account to join the army as a director.

Winter was approaching, Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong discussed with the brothers, suspended the attack, stabilized their positions, and launched an offensive in the spring of the following year.

"After discussing with my eldest brother, we are in Pingzhou. The remaining eight county towns were handed over to a few younger brothers, two each. Registering the population, recruiting strong men, and distributing land should be fair and reasonable. I wonder what objections the brothers have? ”。

Shi Tiangong looked around at Ruan Wu, Zhai Longbiao, Tang Wannian, and Guan Yu, who had returned from injury.

"Second brother, Brother Guan is the youngest, and he is a newlywed Yan'er, let him accompany the two brothers to stay in the county government for a few days! I, as an elder brother, am willing to work harder and take care of those two county towns for him. Ruan Wu stood up with a smile and said.

Before Guan Yu could reply, Zhai Longbiao shouted: "That's not possible!" Sixth Brother Guan also has a large group of brothers who drag their families and families, and they need to divide some arable land to stabilize the morale of the army, what should he do if they are given to you? ”

Guan Yu hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Thank you brothers, the younger brother is lazy by nature and doesn't know how to face many trivial matters." Several elder brothers are willing to help, and the younger brother is grateful. As for the distribution of land, the second brother has just said that it should be fair and reasonable, so naturally all my red scarf brothers are treated equally, and the younger brother can certainly trust several elder brothers. Besides, in the coming year, our army will attack cities and plunder land, and the places we will conquer will not be limited to one state and eight counties? I'm afraid that I won't be able to divide it in the future, so why rush for a while? ”

Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong looked at each other and smiled, nodding their heads.

Liu Qian stroked his palm and smiled: "The sixth brother has a long-term vision, and his words are reasonable!" ”。

Tang Wannian's eyes rolled, and he got up and said, "Since the sixth brother is humble, it is not good for us to be brothers and let the third brother work too hard. Why don't you give the third brother and me three cities each? ”

Zhai Longbiao waved his hand and said: "You two are casual, anyway, it's enough to give me the two county seats, and I don't bother to care about the rest." ”

Wang Guoquan, the secretary of the ministry, returned to the house, depressed in his chest, and was anxious to find someone to spit out the block in his chest, so he asked the servant to arouse the master of the family overnight. The master summoned late at night, and the master didn't dare to slack off, so he put on his clothes and hurried over.

Wang Guoquan explained the dialogue and discussion in the palace, and finally said sullenly: "This Dong Linsong is really angry old man!" ”。

The master hurriedly said, "What is the final reaction of the saint?" ”

Wang Guoquan lowered his head and thought for a while: "The saint neither blamed the old man, nor praised Master Dong, but the old man himself felt really angry!" ”

The master suddenly knelt down and said, "The master is confused!" This is the one surnamed Dong who has taken the lead and fought against the master without declaring a war! ”

Wang Guoquan was shocked: "Oh, how can you say this? ”

The master got up and said, "Master, think about it, there is only one position of Dazai, who can guess the holy will and cater to his thoughts, who will have a chance to win this position!" That Lord Dong is by no means as simple as going back on his word, he has premeditated it and figured out the likes and dislikes of the saint, so he uses you as a stepping stone, and his mind is so vicious! ”

Wang Guoquan pondered for a moment, got up, and said angrily: "If you think about it, it's really so!" So what do we do now? ”

The master said in a low voice: "It is imperative, master, you must fight back with all your might, otherwise once he Dong someone takes the position, I am afraid that you will lose your official affairs and worry about your life!" At present, how to enlist the support of the Holy Gods is the most important thing. Since the saint is angry about the Dazai Yu Party, the lord might as well collect evidence and put the surname Dong in the ranks of the Dazai Yu Party. In addition, the Holy One hates corruption and can make a big fuss about it. ”

Wang Guoquan said worriedly: "He is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he is not as much as me, after all, the old man is in charge of the rise and fall of officials up and down in Daqi, he just wants to be greedy, I'm afraid there are not many opportunities---" Suddenly he felt speechless, and quickly changed the topic and said: "What else can you do?" ”

The master smiled: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? The old man sent someone to check whether his sons and nephews were arrogant and misbehaving. If so, he will be guilty of lax discipline and arson. The worst thing is that his ancestral tomb has broken the royal dragon vein, and his intentions are sinister and his intention is to rebel! It's just that all these masters can only be handed over to the following protégés and students, and you must not come forward in person. ”

Wang Guoquan nodded and smiled: "The old man understands!" ”。

Almost at the same time, Lord Dong Linsong and Dong also gathered several staff members in his mansion and was holding a small secret meeting.

Lord Dong looked around and said, "I have offended Lord Wang in front of the saint today, and the old guy will definitely kill me when he comes back to his senses." How are you preparing? Strike first, we're running out of time! ”。

One of the staff members arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry! The old guy buys and sells officials, and his sons and nephews forcibly expropriate farmland in his ancestral homeland, and we are ready to seize the evidence of land and property, just wait for your lordship to show you, and unite a few courtiers to play the holy lord at any time, and I can't defeat him if I don't believe it! ”

Dong Linsong arched his hand and said: "I have to thank you, I, Dong, will do what I say, once I grasp the power of Dazai, I will be rewarded to you!" ”。

Guan Yu rode on the horse and looked back at the wall and roof behind him from time to time, there was indeed nothing! It's strange, why do you always feel like you're being followed? And it's always felt that way since the Assassin appeared that night?

Cui Dakui urged the horse to catch up and asked in a low voice, "General, is there anything wrong?" ”。

Since the assassin appeared that night, under the strong orders of his eldest brother and military advisor, Guan Yu's guards have increased from a dozen to fifty. Even so, Cui Dakui was still not at ease, he simply carried the big iron rod himself, and he followed Guan Yu wherever he went, and he was ready to fight with others at any time.

Guan Yu whispered to Cui Dakui: "You go first, I'll arrive later, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety." ”

Cui Dakui changed color and said, "That's not good!" The leader and the military advisor have explained, except for your wife's kangtou, we will not leave you an inch! ”

Guan Yu sulked secretly in his chest, but he had nothing to say. He had the intention of flying away, but he thought that his brothers would definitely chase after him with their horses, and that they would scare away the assassins if they were too loud, so they had to be obediently coerced by everyone and continue to move forward. It wasn't until they returned to the gate of the house, leaving a few guards, that the other guards bowed and retreated.

As soon as he returned to the house, he took off his armor, changed into civilian clothes, and stepped out of the door, Pei Zhu greeted him, bowed down and saluted: "The master is back, has the master had dinner?" The young lady told the master that if you haven't used it, I'll give you a hot one. ”

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Why are you still called Miss?" Didn't I tell you to change your name to Madame? ”

Pei Zhu was embarrassed and said, "Miss asked the slave maid to call her Miss." ”

Guan Yu was happy, and said in his heart: This dead girl, let Pei Zhu call her Miss and call me master, won't I become his father, how can I do anything to her in the future? ! He bowed his head and said to Pei Zhu: "In the future, you will still call her Miss in front of her, and call her Mrs. in front of me, okay?" ”

Pei Zhu was relieved and nodded vigorously.

Since that day, after the "cave room", Li Shiqing asked Pei Zhu to clean up a side room, move in by herself, and leave the new house to Guan Yu. Guan Yu understood that there were some things that could not be rushed, so he could only wait for the water to come to fruition, so he also listened to the respect and let it be.

The two were talking in front of the door, Guan Yu suddenly heard a scream from Li Shiqing's room, his scalp was numb, he quickly turned around and went back to the room, picked up a sword in his hand, and flew out.

When Guan Yu's feet just landed in the courtyard, Li Shiqing's door was pushed open, Li Shiqing's face was pale and slowly walked out, with a bright dagger on her snow-white neck, and behind her was a man in black wearing a hat and holding a long whip.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu waved the sword in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "You don't want to hurt her!" She has nothing to do with me, the person you want to kill is me, you let her go, I will go with you! ”

Li Shiqing's eyes widened, staring at Guan Yu stupidly, silent.

The man in black didn't answer, and pointed at the sword in Guan Yu's hand with the tip of his whip.

Death is death! Guan Yu gritted his steel teeth secretly, closed his eyes, and shook the sword in his hand, and the sword was slammed into the ground obliquely, buzzing and shaking.

The man in black withdrew the dagger with his left hand, pushed Li Shiqing to the ground, and swung the long whip in his right hand like a black lightning bolt.

Sure enough, Guan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, faced the whistling long whip, and quickly gave the man in black a "like" in his heart. At the same time, a flash of lightning and fire flashed in my mind: After I die, will I wear it back? Then you can see the "old ghost" master again, don't say it, I miss him a lot!

The strange thing was that the long whip did not hit Guan Yu's vital point, but like a spirit snake, it quickly coiled around Guan Yu's body, like a rope, tightly wrapping his arms and body. The man in black shook his right hand, and at the same time his toes touched the ground, soared into the air, and dragged Guan Yu, who was tied up like a dumpling, and flew straight out of the wall.

Guan Yu only felt that the wind was loud in his ears, and there was a faint cry of panic and urgency from Pei Zhu and Li Shiqing: --- "master" --- "Xianggong". Well, what? What does she call me? Did I hear me right? General Guan, who was dying, suddenly burst into joy.
