Han Shantong spoke, and Li Xixi and Sheng Wenyu got up to leave, their eyes still-for-tat, and they didn't give in.

Luo Wensu helped to lift up the fallen chair before saluting the three people in the room, and Han Shantong nodded to him, slightly relieved.

After everyone dispersed, Han Shantong couldn't control his anger anymore in the face of his right-hand man, and reprimanded: "Finally, a big thing is about to start, and you can't think about it in one place, how should the brothers in the sect deal with themselves?" Do you want us to follow in the footsteps of the Yuan Court? ”

Du Zundao's emotions adjusted quickly, and he turned into a good old man again, and comforted: "Don't worry, sect leader, we are also thinking about the overall situation, some arguments are inevitable in the process of deliberations, and it is good to dissipate their anger after that." ”

Although Liu Futong was unhappy in his heart, he could only stop his anger and persuade patiently: "Brother Han, it's me who is wrong, Master Du Helm's strategy is good, but my temperament is a little anxious, so I interrupted him, don't blame me." ”

Han Shantong knows the two very well, and he knows Du Zundao's careful thinking very well, but no matter how strategic he is, he can't compare to Liu Futong's weight in his heart. This rebuke is aimed at temporarily stabilizing the two, after all, if you want to succeed, you can't lack a strategist like Du Zundao, and you can't lack a loyal person like Liu Futong.

Knowing that the two of them were against their hearts, Han Shantong didn't force it, and pretended to be relieved and said, "That's right." ”

Liu Futong didn't want to dwell more on this matter, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother Han, do you really want Lin Er to bury the stone man?" This trip is bound to be extremely dangerous, so it is better to let me go. ”

Han Shantong thought for a moment and replied: "Lin Er is older, I want him to exercise more, but I am also worried that he will miss a big thing." That's it, it's hard for you to accompany him on a trip, so I can rest assured. ”

Liu Futong readily agreed.

Han Shantong turned his head and said: "Zundao, your idea is indeed a clever plan, but the foundation of our Ming Sect is to think about the people, if you follow your plan, I am afraid that it will make the people resentful, and we need to think about it again and think of a more secure way." ”

Du Zundao smiled after hearing this, hugged his fists and said: "It's me who didn't think about it, and the sect leader is punished." ”

Han Shantong patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about?" The rapid development of my Ming Sect is due to your outstanding strategy. ”

Du Zundao hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"It's not too early, that's it for today. Obey the word, and we will not bother you. ”

"Sect Master, walk slowly." Du Zundao got up and sent the two away from his residence.

As soon as the two left, Sheng Wenyu turned back and said eagerly: "Brother Du, how is it?" ”

Du Zundao no longer hid his emotions in front of Sheng Wenyu, his face instantly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "The sect leader still trusts that Liu Futong more, and I am willing to serve him for so many years!" ”

Sheng Wenyu sighed, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"They just left, and you send a reliable henchman to follow and see if you can hear what they have to say?"

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Han Shantong and the two went out and chatted as they walked, "I know you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Liu Futong smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I don't have to talk about this, in order to complete the great cause, is there anything I can't pay?" ”

Han Shantong knew that he remembered his wife and daughter, and said softly: "Isn't there any news from Yue'er yet?" ”

"Li Xixi personally traveled around and searched for two years, but there was still no news at all, otherwise he would not have become so targeted at Du Zundao."

"This matter is indeed suspicious, although Yue'er went to Huangzhou after receiving Du Zundao's letter before she disappeared, but after that, she also received letters from you and me, if you suspect that Du Zundao is a little unreasonable, as for the White Lotus Sect, there should be no reason to hurt Yue'er, after all, you have to cooperate with us."

Liu Futong sighed heavily, became silent, and while the two of them walked, they had already arrived at Han Shantong's residence.

Han Shantong led Liu Futong into the door, "Come in and say." ”

The henchmen sent by Sheng Wenyu secretly followed the two, and when they saw them enter the house, they hid their bodies under the window and eavesdropped on what the two said.

Han Shantong took the lead in sitting by the window and explained: "Futong, I have actually thought of the specific plan, and going to Du Zundao today is just to do superficial work, which will save him from being unhappy." ”

Liu Futong was a little puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and asked, "Big brother, please speak." ”

"I originally thought that the people would be even more overwhelmed after the Yuan court changed money, and then I would be publicly present in the name of the eighth grandson of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and you would claim to be the descendants of the famous general Liu Guangshi of the Southern Song Dynasty. And with the clever plan you just came up with, the two strategies complement each other, and the name of Mingjiao will surely resound all over the world at that time, and we can overthrow the Yuan Room in one fell swoop! ”

Liu Futong said with emotion: "It is not in vain that we have been operating for many years, and now we have finally seen a glimmer of light!" Then he thought of the jealous Du Zundao, and said with some worry: "But if this is the case, then Du Zundao will not be reconciled, will he have two hearts because of this!" ”

Han Shantong smiled and said: "Although this person has a strategy, he has a scheming heart and is extremely insidious, how can he be of great use?" ”

Liu Futong suddenly realized: "It turns out that the eldest brother has long known his character!" ”

"Before, we were weak, so we had to reuse people like him, but now it is not like the situation of the day, if he keeps to himself, he can still be appointed, if not, ......" Han Shantong narrowed his eyes, "Those who spoil my big things and disturb the hearts of our army - there is no forgiveness!" ”

Although Liu Futong and Du Zundao fought a lot in private, they were still shocked after listening to Han Shantong's words, and they couldn't imagine that a hero like Brother Han would be so cold-blooded and ruthless once it came to the power struggle.

The person eavesdropping outside the window was even more cold sweat, and hurriedly got up and fled, and went back to report the situation.

Sheng Wenyu and Du Zundao were shocked when they heard the reply of their henchmen, and Sheng Wenyu panicked: "I can't imagine that the sect leader is kind and benevolent on the surface, but in fact he is so ruthless. Brother Du, let's be careful in the future! ”

Du Zundao's face was as gloomy as water, and he said fiercely: "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Sheng Wenyu said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, what do you think?" ”

"In this troubled world, how can you be willing to be a fish and meat? You still need to start first! ”

"But they are the main and deputy sect leaders of the Ming Sect, even if we have some henchmen, where can we compete with them head-on?"

"Idiot! Isn't it frightening? If you can't fight head-on, you can think of some other way, Han Shantong is unfathomable, and this time there is a killing intent, we must get rid of him. ”

Sheng Wenyu was not angry when he was scolded, he suddenly had an idea after thinking about it, and said happily: "Big brother, why don't we borrow a knife to kill!" ”

Du Zundao squinted, "What do you mean ......?"

Sheng Wenyu showed an infiltrating smile on his face, and said slowly: "Before the incident, as long as we send someone to deliberately release some rumors to the government to reveal where Han Shantong is, why worry that no one will kill him for us?" ”

"What about Liu Futong? As soon as Han Shantong died, didn't Liu Futong become the leader of the sect as a matter of course? ”

"Big brother, don't forget, they want to call themselves orthodox in the Song Dynasty, once Han Shantong dies, the position of the sect leader can only belong to Han Lin'er, Han Lin'er is quite close to us, and will definitely reuse us! When the time comes, I will slowly clean up Liu Futong. ”

Du Zundao laughed wildly after hearing this, and exclaimed: "What a trick to kill with a knife!" If this matter is successful, the two of us will no longer have to swallow our anger, and then use Mingjiao to destroy the Yuan Room, and we will go down in history! ”

Sheng Wenyu hurriedly showed his loyalty and flattered: "With the talent of the eldest brother, he will definitely be the master of the world!" ”

Du Zundao was in a good mood, so he planned specific matters with Sheng Wenyu.

While Du and Sheng were planning the layout, in the mansion of Deto, Ru Zhongbai, Wugu Sun Liangzhen, Gong Bosui and other subordinates were sitting in danger, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

After a long time, Tokhoff carried an old man into the main hall, and a group of subordinates hurriedly got up to say hello.

Totoku introduced to everyone: "This is Jia Lu, the water supervisor of Xingdu, whether he can control the raging Yellow River or not depends on him." ”

Jia Lu and Totoku are old acquaintances, as early as the third year of Zhizheng, when Totoku was the first to be a friend, he was appointed as an official of the Song History Bureau. After the book was completed, he moved to Nanshan Shandong Province to serve as an envoy to proclaim the shogunate. During his tenure, he wrote tens of thousands of words, pointing out the disadvantages of the loss of state rental income due to the merger of the rich and the poor and the exiled population at that time. Soon afterward, he was appointed as the superintendent of the imperial history, and proposed that the imperial history should be presented directly to the emperor and should not go through other officials, which was deeply appreciated by the emperor. Later, he was recalled to the Ministry of Works, and put forward 19 suggestions on the construction of the project, which were valued by Toto. From the ninth year of Zhizheng to the Zheng Emperor, he personally appointed Jia Lu as the water supervisor of Xingdu to preside over the water control work in Shandong, Henan and other places.

Jia Lu Shi said respectfully: "The old minister is ashamed, and he has the expectations of the saint and the prime minister. ”

Totokh waved his hand and said: "Lord Jia is dedicated to the people, and has been running on the front line of river control for many years, and I have heard that in order to investigate the flood situation, he has worked tirelessly for thousands of miles. If such a good ruler still has bad hopes, will not our courtiers die of shame? He immediately looked at the subordinates, "You should also learn more from Master Jia." ”

Although Jia Lu is a Han Chinese, he is famous for being a man and an official, and everyone Rao is a Mongolian nobleman, and they all sincerely admire him.

After the greetings, he asked straight to the point: "Lord Jia, this time you are called back to Beijing because the holy will has been decided, do you have a good plan to rectify the Yellow River?" ”

Jia Lu had a difficult face and replied: "The policy of controlling the river, Lao Chen has already said a few years ago, there are only two plans: one is to build an embankment on the north bank of the new river below the breach, restrict the crossflow of the river, and the amount of work is small; The first is to block the breach, and at the same time dredge the downstream river channel to save the river back to its original course, which is a practice of getting twice the result with half the effort. ”

Totoku smiled bitterly: "A few years ago, when the court discussed this matter, I was not able to control the overall situation, so that Lord Jia was wronged. Now I have asked the Holy Lord to appoint you as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the chief envoy of river control, this time the river will use the latter plan, no matter how much financial, material, and human resources are needed, I will prepare for you, please be sure to calm down the raging Yellow River! ”

Jia Lu was moved to tears when he heard this, and cried: "This time, Lao Chen is fighting for his life, and he must block the Yellow River!" ”
