To be honest, if it weren't for the side quest, Tang Ning really wouldn't want to cooperate with Guo Jia anymore, so he held back his anger and said: "Okay, this matter is over, but if there is such a major event related to my life safety in the future, you must notify me in advance, understand?" ”

"Understood, understood, villain understood." As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out another big bag and handed it to Tang Ning and said, "The military advisor heard that Lord Jiao is happy to take a concubine, so he specially sent a hundred taels of gold as a congratulatory gift, and I ask you to accept it." ”

Tang Ning said in his heart, if you really give me a concubine, as for delaying it for several months, this is obviously compensation for me, so he arched his hand and said: "Then thank you to the military advisor." ”

A few days later, Li Shu suddenly found Tang Ning with a serious face and said, "Zhongqing, something is wrong!" Originally, Dong Cheng Chongji and others, who had been in contact with us and planned to kill Cao Thief together, were killed by Cao Thief because the incident was not secret, Dong Cheng, Chongji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, and even Dong Cheng's daughter Dong Guiren were killed by Cao Cao! ”

"Huh?! So, did you find out how exactly the information was leaked? Tang Ning asked as he pretended to be shocked.

Li Shu said impatiently: "Where is the problem of investigating how to leak the news now, the most important thing now is that since the Cao thief has caught Dong Chengzhongji, then they will definitely find out their conspiracy with my Jiangdong, and if the Cao thief attacks because of this, what should I do?" ”

Tang Ning had been thinking about this question for a long time in the past few days, so he pretended to think about it, and then replied: "My lord, I don't think you need to worry too much about this matter. This matter is nothing more than the following possibilities, the first is whether Dong Taishi and others will leak the conspiracy with my Jiangdong, if they want to keep Jiangdong, a force loyal to the royal family, it is very likely that they will resist to the death and not say it, if they don't say it, then naturally it has nothing to do with us.

Then there will be the conspiracy with Jiangdong that Taishi Dong will confess, then there will be two situations. The first is that although Cao Thief will be angry with Jiangdong, but at this time he is fighting with Er Yuan, and he can't spare the time and energy to deal with us, so he can only temporarily suppress his anger, which is very likely to be done with Cao Thief's scheming character. ”

"Then what if the Cao thief really uses this as an excuse to attack Jiangdong?" Li Shu asked.

Tang Ning hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "My lord, I don't know if I should say a big disrespectful word about my humble position?" ”

"You're my confidant, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Li Shu urged.

Tang Ning looked left and right for a moment, then took a step closer and whispered: "My lord, now is a troubled time, and heroes should make immortal achievements." Don't you think that if Prime Minister Cao really comes to attack Jiangdong, this is a godsend for you to become the overlord of your own side?! ”

The reason why Tang Ning dared to say this was because he knew that Li Shu was extremely ambitious, and in history, after Sun Ce was assassinated, he supported the army and stood on his own, so Tang Ning's words were exactly what he liked.

Sure enough, after hearing Tang Ning's rebellious words, Li Shu not only did not get angry, but asked quite emotionally: "When Cao Gong was crusading against Sun Ce, how could I be alone?" Unconsciously, Cao Cao has changed from a Cao thief to Cao Gong in his mouth, which shows that he has long had this intention.

"Even if Cao Gong crusades against Sun Ce, it is impossible to win the battle easily, so if you can come forward at that time, take out the ironclad evidence of Sun Ce's collusion with Dong Cheng, and publicly support Cao Gong, I think that even if Cao Gong only buys horse bones for a thousand catties, he will definitely treat the adults well." Tang Ning pouted.

Li Shu nodded and said, "What you said does have some truth, but where is this ironclad evidence?" ”

"It's in the humble home, isn't Qin Luofu the best witness?" Although Tang Ning said so, he had already thought about it, once the assassination of Sun Ce was successful, he would immediately leave Lujiang with Qin Luofu and his family, and now he could only use this method to appease Li Shu, otherwise Qin Luofu's life would not be guaranteed.

Li Shu clapped his hands excitedly: "That's right, take out the letters you usually use for communication, and then there will be all the human and material evidence." Then he instructed Tang Ning: "Zhongqing, you have to take a good look at your concubine, you must appease her before the matter reaches the last step, and she will be of great use at the critical moment." ”

"Please rest assured, please rest assured, I will tell her when I go back from my humble position, my lord is a loyal and righteous person, and he will treat the family of the captain well, please rest assured." Tang Ning agreed respectfully.

Li Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well said! Thinking about it, this statement should put her at ease. Then he patted Tang Ning on the shoulder and praised: "Zhongqing is really my son's room, such a big thing has been analyzed by you in all aspects, and all possible strategies have been thought of to deal with it, it seems that the position of the upper planner is really too wronged by you, it just so happens that Xu Can, the superintendent, is seriously ill, and you will replace him in the future." ”

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the post supervisor was a light and powerful position, responsible for conveying fatwas, supervising subordinate officials, inspecting criminal prisons, and checking illegality, which can almost be said to be everything, so when he heard that he was about to be promoted to post superintendent, Tang Ning was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Lord Xie promoted!" ”

As soon as the complacent Tang Ning arrived home, he saw Liu Lanzhi anxiously and said to him: "Xianggong, Sister Luo Fu is going home today to save her relatives for some reason, and she is packing her things, no matter how you stop it, you can persuade her quickly." ”

Then he leaned into his ear and whispered, "Xianggong, is it because you spend the night with me every night, so Sister Luo Shi is unhappy?" Hey, I told you, even if you feel sorry for your concubine, you have to do it about the same, otherwise outsiders will say that I am jealous. ”

Tang Ning said in his heart, where is this? Qin Luofu didn't want to leave because of this, so he said casually: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely persuade Luofu." ”

When he arrived at Qin Luofu's room, Tang Ning grabbed Qin Luofu, who was packing up his clothes, and asked, "Miss Qin, where are you going?" ”

Qin Luofu replied anxiously: "I can't continue to stay in Lujiang anywhere, otherwise my life will not be guaranteed." ”

"With me here, how can you let something happen to you, Miss Qin?"

"Second Brother Jiao, you don't know what's going on, don't hide it, my husband and Master Dong Cheng have been killed by Cao Thief!" As he spoke, Qin Luoji's tears were about to fall.

"I've learned about this from Taishou-sama just now, and I've already discussed how to deal with it next." Tang Ning replied in a deep voice.

PS: I wish you all a happy New Year's Day in advance!
