"Master, my subordinates just received a secret report that the woman raised by Shi Hu in White Horse City was killed two days ago."

Gao Yuanhe looked at Li Zhong and asked in surprise, "Killed?" How to die. ”

Li Zhong replied, "I was hit by several swords in my body, and I bled to death!" ”

"Who did it so cruelly?"

"I haven't found out yet, but it's certain that it wasn't our people."

Gao Yuanhe pondered for a long time, and said coldly, "No wonder Shi Hu secretly communicated with Ma Tangfeng, it turned out that he knew about this woman's death, and Shi Hu put the account on our heads." If I'm not mistaken, it should be the killer of the Ma Tang faction who killed this woman! Hmph, Ma Tang Feng, Ma Tang Feng, your calculations are not deep! ”

"Father, what did Ma Tangfeng do again." Gao Hongyi walked over quickly from outside, approached Gao Yuanhe and said, "Father should speak quietly, so as not to have ears on the wall." ”

Gao Yuanhe said with a smile, "It's not in the way, there are guards all around, if there is a spy, he will not come back." ”

"It's better to be cautious."

Gao Yuanhe nodded, only then did he notice that his adopted son looked tired, and said with concern, "Have you seen Xing'er?" ”

Gao Hongyi nodded heavily, "See, what is my father looking for me?" ”

Gao Yuanhe sighed and said slowly, "The general who secretly communicated with Ma Tangfeng found out that that person was none other than Shi Hu, the deputy general who had always been valued by his father. ”

Gao Hongyi paused and said, "The child has already guessed." ”

"Although my father has always doubted him, I really want to be sure that it is him, but in my heart, alas!" Gao Yuanhe said, and sighed again, "The last three generations of Shi Huzu have been loyal to our Gao family, and I want to think that back then, what a scenery it was for the Gao and Shi families to join forces to protect the north.

Mr. Shi Po, the father of his father and Shi Hu, can be regarded as a close friend of his year, and he was often instructed by him when he was young, and respected him as a teacher. After Shi Po's death, his father complied with his last wishes, and despite the opposition of the generals, he directly promoted Shi Hu, who was still the deputy commander of the capital, to be the deputy general of the Northern Protector.

Shi Hu fell in love with Miss Chen, asked his father to help protect the media, and his father tried his best to persuade the very stubborn Mr. Chen to marry his daughter to him. But now, he wants to collude with outsiders to oppose me! His conscience was eaten by dogs? ”

The more Gao Yuanhe spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he said, the more he felt that he shouldn't, Gao Hongyi was afraid that his father would be too sad, so he hurriedly comforted, "Father, it's not worth it to be sad for a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted disciple." From the child's point of view, Shi Hu should be arrested immediately for the sake of today, so as to get rid of future troubles! ”

Gao Yuanhe calmed down and said viciously, "It's easy to catch him, but I can't understand the hatred in my father's heart!" Tomorrow, the city lords will go back, and Ma Tangfeng and the others will also go back, and the father has arranged a banquet in the city lord's mansion and saw them off. Just wait for tomorrow's banquet, and the father will wipe out Shi Hu and the disloyal and unrighteous thieves who colluded with him to fight back, and the father will take a good look at who these people are, who gave them so much courage!

"Yi'er, you go back and prepare, bring a team of tiger killing battalion soldiers from the north gate to come in and quietly deploy around the city lord's mansion, if there is any change in the banquet tomorrow, the father will immediately give an order, you will come in directly to capture the thief, if you encounter Shi Hu's people and some self-conscious people who want to trespass into the city lord's mansion, they will be killed!"

Gao Hongyi said worriedly, "Father, Shi Hu's city defense battalion is responsible for the guards of the entire northern moat, and the child brought so many people into the city at once, Shi Hu must have found that our strategy will not be easy to implement." ”

Gao Yuanhe said sinisterly, "Don't worry, the guards at the North City Gate are all old people from the City Lord's Mansion, and they have been arranged for their father, and Shi Hu won't find out." Besides, he found out what else could he do, his father had already given Li Zhong an order to general, and there was no general to transfer troops and tiger talismans, and no one was allowed to transfer a single soldier of the city defense battalion after dawn tomorrow! At that time, Shi Hu is a light pole, no matter how deep he and Ma Tangfeng's plan is, if there are no soldiers and horses, they will lose all the games! ”

Gao Hongyi nodded, looking at his father with a little more helplessness. He felt that since it had reached this point, it was really unwise to keep Shi Hu, if there was no change tomorrow, everyone would be happy, but if there was an accident, it would be a river of blood! But he looked at his father's confident appearance and knew that he had already made a decision, and Gao Hongyi dispelled the idea of wanting to arrest Shi Hu again. After all, he is still young, after all, he is not the general of the Northern Guardian Horse Division!

"Father has made so many preparations, tomorrow should be foolproof." Gao Hongyi thought secretly, however, he thought of Ma Tangfeng, and suddenly asked curiously, "Father, what should I do with Ma Tangfeng and others tomorrow, is it to be killed together!" ”

Gao Yuanhe reluctantly returned to his position and sat down, pondered for a long time and said, "Let him go." ”

"Put? Why! Tomorrow is a great time to eradicate Ma Tangfeng and annex Xihu! Now Ma Tangfeng instigated the family to counter-sentence, let's force the thief to obey and grasp the evidence of his provocation, and when the time comes, just get a head first and then play, the court will see Ma Tangfeng to be killed, and it won't be like us, at most, punish my father for a few years to set an example. ”

"Yi'er, we can think of these, how could Ma Tangfeng not think of it. This scheming and treacherous old fox, why did he dare to come to Beihu, not only did he bring so many hundreds of people and ten wives, he also deployed as many as 50,000 soldiers on our Beihu border, just to deter us in case of accidents. ”

Gao Hongyi pondered for a moment and reminded, "I'm afraid it's more than that!" Father still remembers that you said earlier that the main purpose of Ma Tangfeng's coming here is to destroy our Gao family and unify the northwest. ”

"Of course I do."

"Then why did my father kill him directly to prevent future troubles?" Gao Hongyi was quite puzzled, "Even if he has set up troops on our border and is ready for battle, but without him as the main general, how can his soldiers be the opponents of our Northern Protectors." And we can completely plan a little, slaughter and slaughter with one blow, and at that time, the West Protector has no soldiers and no generals, and we can directly take the West Protector's nest, and then unify the Northwest and complete the father's hegemony! ”

"Son, you don't know what you are talking about as a father! How can you not want to, but these are just ideas, and how difficult it is to get such a result!

You may not know that the general sent by the Matang Feng Chen soldiers on our border is the famous and fierce general Peng Qi! Although the father is not afraid of him, if he wants to defeat this person with one blow, it is really a fantasy, and at that time the two armies will definitely be ruined, and how will the people of the North Protector be peaceful! Gao Yuanhe sat down with a heavy face and looked at the dark outside, "The people of the North Protector have just lived and worked in peace and contentment for a few years, and my father really can't bear to let them be involved in the disaster of swords and soldiers again. ”

Gao Hongyi couldn't believe that his father had just reached middle age, how could he have such a thought, where did all the previous rhetoric go? He gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice, "Father, how can you miss this wonderful opportunity!" If Ma Tangfeng is released tomorrow, won't he immediately lead his troops to conquer us? At that time, what will happen to the people of Beihu, and what will happen to my father!? ”

"At that time, Ma Tang's reputation was not right, and he would know which was more important."

"Father, no."

Gao Yuanhe interrupted loudly, "Okay, I've made up my mind, you go back and prepare!" ”

At this time, the subordinates of the inner government came to report that it was getting late, and Cheng asked Gao Yuanhe when he would go back to rest, and Gao Yuanhe instructed Li Zhong to go back after a few words.

Gao Hongyi looked at the back of his father leaving, and his face showed endless helplessness.

He was depressed in his heart, and went back to the room listlessly, and on the way he saw that the light was still on in Li Xian's room, thinking that he hadn't rested yet, and decided to talk to Li Xian.
