(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Guo Shifeng circled around Xu Ji and returned to him, still smiling on his face, "Master Lou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"I've changed my surname to Xu."

"Ah, it doesn't matter what your surname is, for the imperial court, you will always be the foundation of the assassin."

"Am I not a 'fellow accomplice' of the assassins?"

"Haha, there are too many 'same parties', and it doesn't show the specialness of Lou Gongzi."

Miao Sa stepped forward and said, "Lord Qincha, do you want to escort the prisoner to the Eastern Capital immediately?" ”

"It's not safe on the road now, so there's no need to rush to escort prisoners, and the court isn't in a hurry to ask for it."

The latter sentence was a little strange, but Miao Sa nodded with a smile, "Lord Qincha is right. ”

"Lou Ji is a fugitive prisoner, shouldn't he be sent to the Eastern Capital immediately?" Shen Cong didn't understand.

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Dongdu has its own arrangements. I'm just a festival envoy sent by the imperial court, and I'm definitely not a messenger, so please don't call me that anymore, I can't afford it. ”

Miao Sa and Shen Cong said yes again and again, and when they spoke, they still called "Qincha", but the word "adult" was removed.

Guo Shifeng said to Shen Cong again: "The Shen family has a master of the Ministry of Industry, which is the luck of the Shen family and the luck of the imperial court. ”

Shen Cong's thin face couldn't help but smile, "It's all the duty of a courtier." Alas, the first emperor abandoned his ministers and left, when he thought of the first emperor's smiling face, sadness came from it, and then when he saw the thief who was assassinated, he was angry......"

In the end, Shen Cong gritted his teeth.

Guo Shifeng also sighed a few times, as if he was missing the Emperor of All Things, "Is Lord Mushou's health better?" I am the envoy of Jinyang this time, and I must see Lord Mushou. ”

"Don't worry, my father is already better, and in a day or two, I will be sick, and I will see Qincha."

"Haha, then I'll wait for good news."

Qin Cha was so polite, Shen Cong was very happy, and most of his heart was relieved, and he gave his hand.

Miao Sa asked, "The prisoner is imprisoned first?" ”

"After all, he is the son of a great general, so he is unusual, sent to my next door, and sent more soldiers to guard it."

"Hey, is the general still the same as before?"

"The world is unpredictable, and the court is a place where the situation changes abruptly, it is beyond you and me to speculate, so it is better to have a normal heart and adapt to the situation."

Although Guo Shifeng did not have an important official position, Miao Sa did not dare to offend, and immediately nodded yes, and ordered someone to send the prisoner to the backyard.

There was a whining sound nearby, Miao Sa frowned, and said to the guards: "Beat Tan out of the senseless." ”

Xu Ji fell into house arrest again, sitting at the table and silently reflecting, why are his plans always interrupted by accidents? Why didn't you anticipate the danger that might come? Why is it that every time something comes to an end, the "name and responsibility" that I have learned is always useless?

The more he thought about his mistakes, the more Xu Ji reflected, and he didn't even notice that the door was opened.

Guo Shifeng coughed and said with a smile: "Brother Brother, are you preparing to become a monk?" ”

Xu Ji got up, "Homeless people, life and death are not up to themselves, how to become a monk?" ”

"Let's have a few drinks." Guo Shifeng sat next to him, put a pot of wine on the table, turned over two cups, and poured the wine himself.

"The first glass of wine, a tribute to the past."

"The past is respectable." Xu Ji raised his glass, the two of them drank it all, the northern wine was strong, the entrance was like fire, Xu Ji was excited, there was no dish to press the wine, and he could only smack his lips.

"It is said that one side of the water and the soil and one side of the people, and the state wine is like this, but people may not." Guo Shifeng poured a second glass, "This glass of wine is a tribute to my brother's unspoken kindness." ”

Xu Ji never revealed Guo Shifeng's details to the imperial court, but he didn't take credit and didn't pick up the wine glass, but asked: "What does 'people not necessarily' mean?" ”

Guo Shifeng put down his cup, "Brother Ji still thinks that Shen Bingzhou is a 'real dragon'?" ”

"Looking at the world, the situation in Bingzhou is the best, as for Shen Mushou, to be honest, I only saw him twice when I was a child, mixed in the brothers, and never spoke, watching his move to recruit talents, it is a little interesting."

"It's Shen Wugongzi in the younger brother's picture, right?"

"At least he has a bit of violentness and dares to choose the opportunity."

Guo Shifeng laughed and toasted again, and the two drank it all again.

"How about we make a bet?"

"Okay, what's the gambling method?"

"Just tonight, I bet that Shen Wugongzi will come to rob people."

"Oh?"

"Shen Da is stupid, sending you directly to the governor's mansion has ruined Shen Wugongzi's plan and also ruined Shen's plan to merge with Zhou. If there is no accident, Shen Bingzhou will inevitably acquiesce to the five sons to make a big fuss, he is outside the city to pull troops, if the five sons win, he takes advantage of the situation to enter the city, publicly raise the flag, if the five sons are defeated, he will follow the general, abandon one son and save the family. What do you think of my guess? ”

Xu Ji poured wine, "The third glass of wine, Jingdong Du Temptation Hall, we are all there to enlighten." ”

After drinking it all again, Guo Shifeng pushed away the wine jug, and his expression became serious, "I have reminded the governor's mansion to lay a trap, if Shen Wu comes, he will be captured alive." ”

Xu Ji smiled, "By the way, Brother Ma fell into the hands of the rebel army, and his life and death are unknown. ”

Guo Shifeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother I don't miss brotherhood?" In any case, before returning to the Eastern Capital, I will protect my brother from hardship. As for Brother Ma, everyone has their own life, if I can do it, I will never sit idly by, if the whip is out of reach, it is useless to think about it, what does Brother Ji think? ”

"Say what you're going to bet on."

"I bet that Shen Wugongzi will be defeated, and after that, Shen Bingzhou will lead his troops south to help the court quell the chaos, and Tiancheng Dynasty can prolong his life for a few years."

"Then I will bet that Shen Wugongzi will win, and within a few days Shen and Zhou will be kings, and Kyushu in the world will lose one of them, and Tiancheng Dynasty will survive for three years."

"Haha, this bet is too big, let's bet on Shen Wugongzi's victory or defeat tonight."

"Okay."

"If Shen Wugongzi doesn't come, I will win."

"If he doesn't dare to show up, I'm already defeated, and naturally you win. What is the stake? I have nothing now. ”

Guo Shifeng pointed to his mouth, "As long as the general can still arrange troops, lying on the couch is also a general, as long as the tongue is not broken and the mouth can be opened, he is still a strategist in prison." ”

"You want me to give you advice?"

"Let's put it this way, if I lose, I will immediately throw myself into the Shen family, and there is no other word."

"I believe Brother Guo can do it."

Guo Shifeng didn't care about the ridicule, but said with a smile: "With the ups and downs of the world, those who know the times are Junjie, as the younger brother said, if the state is opposed, the eastern capital will be in danger, and I am also willing to vote for the master." Besides, I didn't just surrender, but there was also a lot of news from the Eastern Capital, which was urgently needed by Shen Bingzhou. ”

"There is another change in the Eastern Capital?"

"It's a big change, I'll only say one thing now, the Liang family originally agreed to let the younger brother go, but he was wanted, does the younger brother understand the reason?"

"Just guess, on the day I left, something happened in the Eastern Capital, which made the general lose power, and the Liang family felt that there was no need to back down. Thinking about it carefully, it can only be the king of Xiangdong who has changed, and he has not won the power of the forbidden army? Or did he take refuge in the Liang family? ”

"There are some things you would never have thought of, and I wouldn't have thought of them if I hadn't been there. Mrs. Ling Tanglan and Brother Ling Lou went out of the city to meet the general, and the Empress Dowager personally sent each other, but when she returned to the palace, she regretted it, and she didn't know who said that she was moved, and she became very angry, thinking that Mrs. Lan had abandoned herself and had no sisterhood. ”

"The Empress Dowager probably heard that the general had participated in the assassination, right?"

"It's possible, but it's just speculation, at least not to suspect me. In short, the Empress Dowager was angry and made an astonishing decision, she was going to marry the king of Xiangdong. ”

"Huh?" Xu Ji was taken aback, this was really something he would never have imagined, "This...... Impossible, right? ”

"It's a bit too much to say 'marry', transfer the king of Xiangdong into the palace to take charge of the guards, the two can get along day and night, there is no name of husband and wife, but there is a fact."

Xu Ji was dumbfounded, "Is this the so-called 'enemy'?" ”

"Others can't say anything about them, but what is unfavorable to the general is that the king of Xiangdong agreed, and when I left, he had already entered the palace, and the king of Jibei went out of the city to take charge of the forbidden army."

"The King of Jibei has also been reused?"

"After all, he is the own son of the Empress Dowager, and no matter what he has done, he will be forgiven. Oh, King Jibei is still the father-in-law of his younger brother, maybe he can help you. ”

Xu Ji shook his head, finding that he still couldn't completely forget the Lou family, "How did the general react?" ”

"I guess I'm angry, I haven't seen him. I only heard that he pleaded with the Empress Dowager through the Lan family, and I never heard the news that he was arrested, presumably to get some forgiveness. ”

Lou Wen, the once powerful general, was trapped outside the eastern capital, unable to advance or retreat, Xu Ji muttered: "He should go to Tongguan immediately." ”

"It must have been a struggle. Does the younger brother still care about the Lou family? I don't know much about the general. ”

The general quickly lost his position, and he was no longer in the eyes of Guo Shifeng.

Xu Ji shook his head, "So, the Lan family is in power in the Eastern Capital?" ”

"The Emperor of All Things was self-dictating during his lifetime, and his descendants were weakened, so he could only give power to the Lan family. There is also the Liang family, who holds the little emperor in his hands, and the little emperor ...... Tsk, compared to him, the Emperor of All Things is a generation of Ming Jun. ”

"Even so, you still have to be loyal to the court?"

"How so? I know that the imperial court is in danger, but there are some things that I am reluctant to throw away once I have them. As long as there is a glimmer of life, I am willing to help the Tiancheng Dynasty continue for a while, maybe there is really an emperor of Zhongxing. The little emperor is hopeless, but the empress dowager is increasingly dissatisfied with the Liang family, and if she can wake up soon, she will have time to change the emperor. ”

"King Jibei."

Of course, the Empress Dowager will never allow someone else to succeed to the throne. In short, there is still hope for the Tiancheng Dynasty. But I'm not a stubborn person, and if the Shen family really has the guts to take a desperate gamble, I'm willing to take another risk. I'm afraid that Shen Wugongzi will be defeated tonight, and Shen Bingzhou will become more and more hesitant, so that he will miss the opportunity, so I have no choice but to continue to protect the sky. ”

"Brother Guo is really ...... No worries. ”

Guo Shifeng covered his heart, "There must be something here first, in order to give birth to obstacles, I have been working hard for half my life, and everything I have obtained will be lost in a few months." There is nothing in the heart, and there is nothing to worry about. Brother Brother's death this time, don't you have the same feeling? ”

Compared with eloquence, Xu Ji bowed to the wind and arched his hand: "Be taught." ”

"If Shen Wugongzi loses tonight, I hope that my brother can willingly go back to the Eastern Capital with me, the situation over there is chaotic, and there may be a chance for you and me to ride the wind and waves."

"Brother Guo wants to keep the income for a long time?"

"It's good to have nothing to worry about, but if it's empty for a long time, it's inevitably boring, and I want a lifelong career."

Xu Ji took the wine jug, poured wine for the two of them again, raised his glass and said: "Brother Guo's heart is afraid that it will be empty for a while, Shen Wugongzi will come tonight and win." ”

Both laughed at the same time, both thinking they were going to win the game.
