() "Childe, there's news from the deceased, asking you to meet him tonight." Feng Sheng said to Wang Laohu.

"I also want to see him, this time is getting closer and closer, and there are some things that I am not sure about."

"Are we really going to duel the Eight Tigers so soon?"

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." Wang Laohu said, "Now that the arrow is on the bow, I have to send it." ”

"The three major battalions in the capital, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang have not solved these problems, and if you want to do it, the chances of winning are not great." Feng Shengdao.

"So we still need to work harder, the military department does not have the power to deploy soldiers and horses, which is a hard injury. If we enter Beijing with a large number of soldiers and horses, the men and horses of the three major battalions in the capital will not sit idly by, and Liu Jin will also be aware of it. ”

"Childe, can we think of a way to divide the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions in the capital."

"That's a good idea, but how can we tear them apart? We don't have that power. ”

"Or split the three battalions?" Feng Sheng said again.

"Whichever of the two is successful, it's good for us. In addition, we also have to take into account that the three battalions are the main force in the capital, and the emperor will still need them in the future, so we can keep as much strength as we can. ”

"That means Childe plans not to kill more." Feng Shengdao, if you want to take the capital with a peaceful attitude, it will be even more difficult.

Joy Inn.

"My mission in the capital is about to begin, and the Armageddon is coming, lady, after this incident, you stay in the capital, I don't want you to be separated from me." Wang Laohu said.

"I see you're worried about this, but you weren't like that in the past."

"The old me?" Wang Laohu was a little skeptical, "Although I was confident in the past, I think this kind of indiscriminate self-confidence is still forgotten." ”

"Xianggong, where did you go, how can there be self-confidence, when I met you, your absolute confidence in doing things should not be underestimated."

"But this matter is different from other things, just one step away, there is a possibility of separation, and it will also affect the family." Wang Laohu said.

"Xianggong knew that this thing was so dangerous, but he still chose to do it, although I don't understand why Xianggong did this, but I support Xianggong."

"The lady is strong in kung fu, she must help me." Wang Laohu said, "However, as the lady said, I still have no confidence. ”

"The Lord will not have faith, so what should others do?" The lady in the white dress said.

Wang Laohu stood at the inn and looked outside, there are not many people in the suburbs of the capital, but you can vaguely see the crowd coming and going, some enter Beijing, some go out of Beijing, some go home, and some enter Beijing to do business.

"People, that's it, sometimes, you have to leave your hometown, and in the end, you will find that tranquility is the destination of life." Wang Laohu couldn't help but sigh again.

The lady in the white dress also came to the window and looked at the crowd outside the window: "These people who come and go don't think so, they are running desperately, not for themselves, but also for their families." ”

"For the family? Sometimes people's lives do not belong to you, you live, not for yourself, but for your family, for the people you love. Wang Laohu thought of the meaning of his life, "Lady, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"Be so kind to me, you say."

Wang Laohu just returned home from the military department, he heard the sound of laughter in the hall, but he didn't expect that Wang Laohu was in the military department all day, but when he came back, he saw such a good atmosphere at home, the family was harmonious, and the women got along harmoniously, which is the most important thing.

Wang Laohu stepped into the house and said, "Madam, I'm back." I thought they would be very excited, but I didn't expect Bian Chengcheng to say: "Xianggong, who do you see coming?" ”

At this time, Wang Laohu found that there were guests in the house, only to see a strange girl sitting in the hall, chatting with Feng Liuer and Bian Chengcheng, Wang Laohu also felt rude at this time, usually when he returned to the house, he called his wife like this, never thought that at this time, there was a guest in the house, and it was a girl.

"Oh, here comes the guest." Wang Laohu was a little embarrassed.

Feng Liu'er said: "Xianggong, do you remember who she is?" ”

This young and beautiful girl looks the same size as Feng Liu'er, and the age difference is not too big. This should be Wang Laohu's acquaintance, but Wang Laohu can't remember it for a while. Seeing Wang Laohu stunned there, Bian Chengcheng said: "When I see a beautiful girl, I can't take my eyes off it." ”

Feng Liu'er said: "Xianggong, you really forgot, she is my master!" ”

Hearing her say this, Wang Laohu remembered that Feng Liu'er did have a master, and he was as old as her, but she always went out and couldn't meet a few times.

"Oh, it's Master." Wang Laohu immediately reacted and said, "Madam, it is rare for Master to come to the capital, so I will invite her to stay in the mansion for a few more days." ”

"She's an old man, are you so old when I teach you?" Feng Liuer said.

The old man laughed at the master, and she asked Feng Liu'er, "Is Wang Gongzi so funny when he speaks?" ”

Feng Liu'er said: "Xianggong respects you very much, every time he calls you an old man, and another time, I didn't keep you for dinner when you came, and you counted me down?" ”

"Sister, you don't know Xianggong's thoughts yet, the master has come to the door, and it is not far away, so it is necessary to stay and eat." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

"Or my second lady speaks beautifully, and everyone who comes is a guest, even if it is not a guest, we must serve each other with courtesy." Wang Laohu said, "Butler, housekeeper ......"

"Xianggong, you are." Feng Liu'er asked.

"Master comes

I have to leave her at the house for a meal, arrange a house for her, and let her stay in Beijing for a few days. Wang Laohu said.

"I don't have to worry about this, I have already instructed the housekeeper to make arrangements." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

Wang Laohu also smiled and said that he had said more. "Master is here, as an apprentice, you have to accompany Master more, madam, Master has just come to the capital, and it is really rare, tomorrow, you will accompany Master more, and walk more in the capital."

"You're here to arrange it again, what I do with Master tomorrow, we have the final say." Feng Liuer said.

"Yes, yes."

"Wang Gongzi, it's ...... now," Master asked.

"He is now in the Ministry of War, and he has a book in the Ministry of War." Feng Liuer said.

"No wonder the head is in charge of your brain, and arranges your affairs properly." Master said.

"Master, you have wronged me, I just said a few more words because I was happy today, and I don't usually have so many words." Wang Laohu said, "I don't understand your woman's affairs, I'll go back to the study first." With that, he bowed to the master and went back to his study.

Den.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to see Yu An, and I'm going to see the old man in the evening, have you arranged these two things?" Wang Laohu asked Feng Shengdao.

"Childe, it's all arranged." As soon as Feng Sheng finished saying this, a voice came from outside the door, "Childe." ”

Listen to the sound, it should be Jinling. I saw her come in from outside the room, holding tea in her hand, and I saw her come to Wang Laohu and say, "Son, drink tea." ”

"There are still a few brocades in the house, and the girl treats me best, and as soon as I return to the house, this tea will be served." Wang Laohu said.

"Childe, I'll give you a massage." Jin Ling said while putting down the tea set he was holding, and pressed it up with both hands for Wang Laohu, Wang Laohu remembered Ruyi in his mind, this girl looked exactly the same as Jin Ling in front of him, if it wasn't for the accident, Ruyi should still live in this world.

Jin Ling's technique was gentle, and when he pressed it, it was very comfortable, and the soreness of Wang Laohu's body was immediately alleviated a lot. He raised his cup and took a sip of tea. Said: "I just want to enjoy the massage again, but now I still have something to do, Miss Jinling, you step down first, I have something to discuss with Feng Sheng." ”

Jin Ling said: "Yes, Childe." She picked up her plate and stepped out, closing the door as she left.

Feng Sheng looked outside the door, and only after there was no movement outside the door did Feng Sheng say to Wang Laohu: "Everything is going according to plan. ”

Wang Laohu nodded, "This afternoon's meeting with Yu An is very important, and it is related to the issue of the three battalions of soldiers and horses. If the three major battalions have him as our internal response, we will ignore the other soldiers and horses in the capital for the time being. ”

"Childe is right, in addition to the three major battalions, the rest are Jinyiwei and Dongchang. These two sides can use our agents, as well as Childe's Ming Tiger team, and the god of flowers will deal with it. Feng Sheng said.

Wang Laohu nodded. In addition to these horses, what Feng Sheng didn't know was the emperor's Tiger God Army. Taking down Liu Jin and cutting off all ties between him and his dog minions is the key to victory.

Now it seems that the situation is becoming clearer and clearer, and the key is to look at Yu'an.

Wang Laohu took Feng Sheng and two guards to the place where he met with Yu An in advance, this place is quiet, it is a forest, and choosing such a place is conducive to his retreat, and it is some distance from the capital, which is not easy to be discovered by his minions.

But the accident still happened, Wang Laohu waited for a long time in the agreed place, and did not see Yu An's arrival. This made Wang Laohu very frightened, every time he met Feng Sheng, he would arrive on time, but he didn't expect that when Wang Laohu came to meet him in person, he didn't come.

There are all kinds of possibilities here, one is that Yu'an can't come if he has something; The second is that he is still on the way here, if this is the case, it means that he is too unpunctual, and such an extremely unpunctual Yu'an is not what he wants. There is a third possibility, this is the last thing Wang Laohu wants to see, Yu An was discovered by someone, and something happened to him.

Either way, the wait is anxious, especially right now.

Wang Laohu said to Feng Sheng: "Has Yu'an ever been in such a situation before? ”

Feng Sheng thought for a moment and said, "He is very punctual every time, I don't want to think that something happened this time?" ”

Wang Laohu said, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”

At this time, the people who were on the periphery came to report, "Childe, someone is coming. ”

"How many?" At this time, it became very sensitive when someone came, this place was the place where Wang Laohu met with Yu'an, and no one would come.

"Hui Gongzi, one person."

When he heard that there was only one person, Wang Laohu was relieved.

Came to the human: "I was sent by General Yu, and he can't come today because of something." ”

Hearing this, Wang Laohu was even more relieved, Yu An's failure this time was not a concept of time, nor was it because of exposure, but because of something, the person who came continued: "The general asked me to tell me that the time of the next appointment is the night after tomorrow, and the location is at the plum pharmacy in the capital. ”

Yu An not only did not come this time, but also arranged the time and place for Wang Laohu to meet next time. The time of this meeting is not a problem, but the location is in the bustling plum pharmacy in the capital, why did he meet like this, could this pharmacy be their secret location.

Wang Laohu guessed.

Yu An's affairs have eyebrows, Wang Laohu is happy in his heart, but he has not really had an in-depth conversation with Yu An, and this heart is always hanging and can't be put down.

"Childe, there was a murder in the capital last night, and Lord Hu in the middle of the court was killed." Feng Shengdao.

Lord Hu? Wang Laohu remembered the name on the list, "Isn't it Lord Hu Dinghu." ”

"Childe is right, it is Lord Hu Ding."

Wang Laohu guessed that Liu Jin was seizing the time to eradicate dissent, "Liu Jin is seizing the time to do it, eradicating dissent, and we must also hurry up and do the right thing." ”

In the evening, according to the place of the appointment, Wang Laohu went to the appointment, but as a courtier, he still arrived a little early. It's a lake, a wild lake by the woods, with a little moonlight. At this time, the weather was very cold, and Wang Laohu had already put on thick clothes when he came out.

The meeting with Yu An during the day has already failed, and whether the arrangement with the deceased at night will be the same fate, the more critical it is, the more difficult it will be to have any situation.

While waiting, Wang Laohu saw someone coming. The waiter approached, and Wang Laohu saw clearly that the person who came was not the emperor, but Cao Hongting.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Wang." Cao Hongting's position is far below Wang Laohu, and it is right to salute him.

"Lord Cao, there is no need to be polite at this time." The emperor asked Cao Hongting to come, and he must have fully trusted him. "What new instructions do the old men have?"

In this place, there were only the two of them, because it involved secrets, Feng Sheng, the guards, and the two people brought by Cao Hongting were all standing at a distance.

"The old man asked you, are you ready?"

"There are still active preparations." Wang Laohu didn't dare to say that he was ready, at least he was ready for now.

"The Tiger God Army is already on the way back, and this time I have assigned specific tasks to the deceased." Cao Hongting said, "The Tiger God Army will escort you in the leopard room, and your people will guard the three major battalions in the capital, as well as the people of the Jinyi Guard." The people in Dongchang are arranged by my people, but I have a limited number of people, so I will have to trouble Lord Wang and you at that time. ”

From Lord Cao's words, Wang Laohu heard something, the emperor relied on an ace army in his hand, and the Tiger God Army wanted to regain the power in the hands of the Eight Tigers, which seemed to be a bit risky, and he bet the cards in his hand on his own hand. "I have limited soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid I can't take care of that much." Wang Laohu was a little apprehensive about such an arrangement.

"In addition to the Flower God Society, there are also the righteous army in Shandong, and you also plan to transfer troops from the Hangcheng Guard, these people will add up, but it will exceed 100,000." Hearing Cao Hongting's words, Wang Laohu was stunned, he had never told anyone about these things, how could Cao Hongting know? He knows, does it mean that the emperor also knows.

"I stayed in Hangchengwei, and the old man meant that he wanted me to be in Hangzhou, and then help him when he got into trouble. I have indeed ordered people to go to the Hangcheng Guard, and I don't know how many people I can bring. Wang Laohu said.

"There's your old subordinate there, and you'll be able to bring some with you. The old man also gave you a chess piece in Hangzhou, and General Shi will definitely help you. "Cao Hongting knows a lot of things.

Wang Laohu smiled, for this meeting, Wang Laohu not only knew the emperor's arrangement, but even knew what he did not know. "Lord Cao, we need to refine our specific matters, for example, what do we use as a number?"

"This matter has a great impact, and it is an annoyance to transfer people from outside Beijing, and it is impossible to transfer people to the capital in a very short period of time without a single sound. Therefore, the meaning of the old man is that Lord Wang will lead his cronies to take the lead in the uprising, control the gates of the capital, and then control the main gates of the palace, and go straight to the lair of Liu Jin and other eight tigers. ”

The emperor handed over the first shot to himself again, how many people are there in his cronies' troops? Thousands of people in the second team of Minghu, plus the Shandong rebels controlled the gate of the capital, let other rebels enter the city, and some people controlled the main gate of the imperial city. "Lord Cao, these operations are almost going to be carried out in the same place, and if any of them fall, one of them will inevitably be hit hard."

"Lord Wang, sometimes when you do big things, you have to make trade-offs." Cao Hongting Road.

Wang Laohu knew that this sentence must have been said by the emperor. Cao Hongting continued: "We used the Yongding Gate of the capital city as bait, let the Eight Tigers come forward to suppress each other, and then break through the Imperial City with heavy troops and smash the Eight Tigers' nest. ”

One place is erbium, if this is the case, wouldn't the people in this place have to be under great pressure, no matter who it is, it is extremely bad.

"What do you think, Lord Wang?" Cao Hongting asked.

This is what the emperor asked him to ask himself.

"Lord Cao, we don't have many soldiers and horses, and the people who resist the Eight Tigers in Yongding Gate are hitting stones with eggs, and these brothers are more than lucky. And we can't have too few people over there, too few to resist, too many to take care of other places. It's a real dilemma. ”

"The old man knew it was difficult, but it was the best way. We can't control the three major battalions in the capital, this Yongding Gate is the best place to stop them, if we can catch the Eight Tigers early, the war will end earlier, so holding Yongding Gate is the key to success. ”

"The pressure of the three battalions is big enough, I know, Lord Cao, is there such a possibility, we have our own people in the three battalions, maybe the resistance will not be so great at that time."

"There are their own people in the three battalions?" Cao Hongting said, "This is a bit of a big problem, Liu Jin controls the military power, can the three battalions poach people?" ”

Wang Laohu once personally told the emperor about recruiting An Yu'an, but now Cao Hongting doesn't know about it, which means that the emperor didn't say anything about it. "No organization can be stubborn, and we are reaching out to some people in the hope of making a breakthrough in the three major battalions."

"This is the best way, the three battalions are not in their own hands, they are always passive, if we can convince some of the three battalions, our success rate will be higher."
