At dusk that day, because of a big quarrel with Li Quanzhong, Han Hong came out of the palace in advance and returned to his mansion in Dunhoufang, Luoyang, he was really angry this time, and Li Quanzhong was angry with him, if it wasn't for his old age, he wanted to flip the table and play a showdown with him.

However, after returning to the mansion in the city, his anger disappeared, because his son Han Gongwu came back from Bianzhou, which is of course not the key, the key is that Han Gongwu brought his most beloved grandson Han Shaozong over.

Han Shaozong is not yet twenty years old, but he is young, hard-hearted, ruthless, strategic, more successful than all his sons, and is Han Hong's favorite successor.

After living for such a long time, he may die at any time, if there is no reliable person to inherit such a big stall as Xuanwu, he will die without a blind eye. Now that he has Han Shaozong, he has a thought, that is, he will die at night, and there will be no regrets.

Han Gongwu returned to Bianzhou to deal with the case of the ship's warehouse being burned, and the ship's gang fully supported Li Mao's march into Guanzhong, and transferred grain and grass for him at any cost, but there were always some people who didn't want Li Mao's life to be better, and they wished that Li Mao would be unlucky, and they would be unlucky immediately, but they didn't dare to challenge Li Mao publicly, so they privately used a trick to move in Bianzhou, and wanted to ask Han Hong to carry this black cauldron.

Han Hong didn't want Li Mao's life to be easy, but he didn't want to offend Li Mao either, the incident happened in his own jurisdiction, so he had to give Li Mao an explanation, so he sent his son Han Gongwu back to deal with the matter.

Han Gongwu adhered to his father's will, turned a big incident into a small matter, lost a sum of money to the boat gang, and promised to send troops to suppress the bandits to ensure the safety of Cao Yun in Xuanwu, and finally settled the matter.

Although the matter was settled, Han Gongwu was a little resentful in his heart, so he complained to his father: "Li Mao's rebellion has appeared, why do you still allow his concubine to transport grain to him, isn't this an enemy?" ”

Han Hong stroked his beard and smiled, and asked Han Shaozong: "Shaozong, is what your father said right or wrong?" ”

Han Shaozong's face sank like water: "Father is wrong. This is not called a capital enemy, this is called raising tigers for trouble. ”

Han Hong laughed, glanced at his grandson with loving eyes, and said to Han Shaozong: "Kurama Lawton, you go and rest first, I still have something to discuss with your father." ”

Han Shaozong got up to say goodbye, and rushed out with the left and right, the door was closed, and only Han Hong's father and son were left in the house. Han Hong sank his face and said to Han Gongwu dissatisfiedly: "You, it's better for Shaozong to calm down." Li Mao's antipathy has appeared, but the people have done a good job on the surface, and they are asking for a return to Luan, sending an envoy to comfort the Son of Heaven, and they want to withdraw the army back to Youzhou, and they invite Li Jiang to preside over the government affairs of Chang'an, and everything is done without leakage, what can you do about it? This kind of thing can only be used secretly, slowly trapping him, don't be in a hurry, too radical is easy to give people a tongue, but it is not beautiful. ”

Han Gongwu sighed heavily, and said: "Your Majesty, with the help of Zhu Kerong and Tutu Chenghua, his power is getting stronger, and he occupies the name of righteousness, and if it continues like this, it may not be good for us." ”

Han Hong said with a smile: "That's an attic built on the sandy ground, it looks good, but it's actually not worth it." Seeing that his son didn't understand, he said: "There is no territory, where is the military rations, even if Li Quanzhong does not eat or drink to supply the emperor, how long can he supply it?" ”

Li Quanzhong is now the envoy of the Yicheng Army, occupying Zhengzhou, Huazhou, and Xuzhou, and the 50,000 Shence army that supports himself and Zhu Kerong with the products produced by the three states has long been very difficult.

Han Gongwu nodded: "No wonder he hasn't eaten well recently and slept restlessly, it turns out that he can't support it." ”

Han Hong said: "The early lintel is rotten first, let him do it for a few more days, and boil it until the oil runs out and the lamp dries up, wouldn't it be beneficial to us?" ”

Xuanwu soldiers are strong and strong, with abundant grain and grass, but they are pressed by the Yicheng Army everywhere in Luoyang, Han Hong endures Li Quanzhong again and again, and lets it go again, so that Han Gongwu is not used to it, and has always understood his father's intentions. ”

Han Hong said: "Li Quanzhong is not worried, but Liu Wu must pay attention, this person is pretending to be crazy and stupid, but he is a difficult guy, so he must be very careful." ”

Han Gongwu said: "I understand." Shaozong wants to see you, so I will let him come, and I will send him back to Bianzhou tomorrow to sit in the town. We have to beware of the Liu family's father and son jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”

Han Hong wrinkled his brows and said, "Shaozong stays, you go back to Bianzhou, command the soldiers and horses of Bianzhou, and prevent the Liu family's father and son from jumping off the wall in a hurry." Then there is to raise a lot of food and grass, once Li Quanzhong falls, let's take the emperor over, and it is not easy to support an emperor. In the end, he said, "When my son grows up, I will be relieved." ”

Han Hong has many children, a hundred years later, who will be handed over to the handsome position has not been decided, he does not look down on Han Gongwu, but he loves Han Gongwu's son Han Shaozong very much, Han Gongwu saw this, so he played the card of his son, love the house and Wu, for Han Shaozong, Han Hong will also favor him. Father's last sentence had a deep meaning, and Han Gongwu was ecstatic in his heart.

The father and son agreed, Han Gongwu got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he reminded his father again to beware of Li Quanzhong's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry and doing something out of the ordinary.

Han Hong nodded and said to his son: "Assassins are such a thing, you must not be guarded against, and you don't have to take it too seriously, as long as you are cautious, you will not be able to make any big deal with them." ”

After his son went, the old man called out his personal attendant Han Baoyi and asked him to arrange a supper. Han Baoyi has followed Han Hong for more than 30 years and is the most reliable person around Han Hong. Han Baoyi was carrying a food box in his hand, which contained Han Hong's supper: two dishes of vegetarian dishes, a small bowl of rice porridge, and a pot of rice wine. He cooked it all by himself.

Han Hong never eats against others, he always eats quietly alone, he is afraid that people will poison his dishes.

Ziqing has a bronze tiger head, Wei Bo has Shannan Society, Chang'an has Wufang Envoy and Long Xiangjun, and Li Mao has a pro-army right wing and internal security office, all of which are frightening secret agencies. Xuanwu also has such an organization, this organization has never had an official name, this is not to increase the mystery of the organization, but Han Hong has always looked down on these sneaky things that can't be put on the table, this nameless organization is famous because there is a legendary figure, Sun Bohu, who was originally a member of the tiger general, because he broke his legs and disarmed with hatred, but since then he has walked out of a legend on another road.

The organization he trained single-handedly, called "Sun Fu" in the Tao, is not inferior in terms of professional quality compared to Tonghutou, Shannan Society, Wufang Envoy and even Long Xiangjun, and several of his disciples and disciples are recognized as top masters in the industry.

Over the years, Han Hong has killed many people with their hands, and he can't count them, what are the methods of these people, he knows it, how can he not be vigilant? Beware not only of their peers, but also of the people of the "Sun Mansion".

There is a word "tiger" in the name of Tang Taizu, and the subjects are not allowed to use "tiger" in the name in order to avoid secrecy, but this Sun Bohu prefers to have a "tiger" in his name, which is the same as the copper tiger head, which is a great disrespect to the emperor. Han Hong took advantage of this reason to beat the "dead tiger" fiercely after Sun Bohu's death.

An excuse is an excuse, and the reason for liquidating it is that this "tiger" has too strong bones and a surprisingly better appetite, and Han Hong is worried that he will be counterattacked.

Sun Bohu has died of illness, Sun Mansion has also been banned, the tree has fallen and scattered, Sun Mansion as a force no longer exists, but we must also beware of its henchmen taking risks, they must hate themselves to death at this moment.

After eating supper, Han Hong went to the bathhouse and called two young women to serve in the bath. He is old, and some of the functions of his body have been severely degenerated, but his heart is not old.

He is willing to stay with young people, because young people are full of vitality, he needs vitality, and only by staying with young people can he feel the heat of life, so that he can feel that he is not alive and not a walking corpse.

After laughing and sweating profusely, two graceful girls served him to dry his fat body, Han Hong wrapped a burlap bath towel with several patches and weak cicada wings worn in some parts around his waist, and returned to the bedroom with a shy stomach.

He never wanted women to sleep, and he feared that they would murder him while he was asleep.

The sleepiness has arrived, he has to sleep well, the day is over, tomorrow he will open his eyes again is another day, in the new day he has to face all kinds of people, intrigue with them, pretend to be ruthless with them, pretend to be crazy and stupid with them, he must play his part of the spirit.

He can't afford to make mistakes, and even the slightest mistake can lead to a catastrophe.

After a few hours of sleep, he woke up from his dream, the old man felt light, and the slightest strange noise would wake him up, and he had just heard a creaking sound at the door.

Did the wind blow open the door? It's not like the night stripe wind doesn't move.

Did Han Baoyi come in and cover himself with a quilt? This old dog still has this mind, and he is snoring straight up at this time.

What's going on here?

Han Hong quietly held the saber under the pillow and pricked up his ears to listen to the surroundings, although it was very light, slight to the point that it looked like a cat walking at night, but Han Hong still judged that someone was tiptoeing over.

He turned over with a bone, and his seemingly fat body was abnormally strong at the moment, and the knife was out of the sheath, but that was all, a cold long knife was already on his neck.

A cold voice shouted, "Don't move. ”

"Everything is negotiable. How much good he has done, I will multiply it a hundredfold. ”

"Thanks, but I don't want money."

"And what do you want?"

"All I need is your head."
