Taiping Lake, the palace of the prince of the alcohol county.

As soon as Rong Lu entered the door, he saw that Encheng and Wen Heng had already arrived, and the three of them greeted each other, and then fell into silence.

Rong Lu found that although Encheng and Wen Heng were trying to maintain their apparent calmness, their posture and expression still showed that their hearts were turbulent. It's just that the performance of Eun and Wen is just the opposite: Eun Cheng can't hide his confusion and anxiety; Wen Heng had a vague excitement on his face.

What about Rong Lu himself?

He didn't know what his demeanor looked like in the eyes of others, but he knew what a strong premonition of uneasiness in his heart.

He slowly sipped the tea to hide this strong uneasy premonition, Encheng and Wen Heng, but from beginning to end, they had no intention of touching the tea on the table.

Outside the door, footsteps sounded, "The prince has arrived!" ”

Rong Lu, Encheng, and Wen Heng immediately stood up and stood with their hands down.

King Alcohol and Liu Baodi walked in.

Rong, En, and Wen made a few "snaps", pulled down the horseshoe sleeves, and stepped forward to salute Qian'er, "Please Wang Ye'an!" ”

The alcohol king let out an "um".

Liu Baodi said loudly: "Irrelevant people, all retreat!" ”

The servants inside and outside the outer study were quickly evacuated.

The alcohol king coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "There is a secret order! ”

The secret purpose?

Rong Lu's brain "buzzed" slightly, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately lifted his robe, changed the half-kneeling posture of beating Qian'er to kneeling on both knees, and then leaned down.

The same is true for Encheng and Wen Heng.

King Alcohol took out a roll of white silk from his arms, unfolded it, coughed lightly, and then read aloud:

"The king of the alcoholic county and others: Guan Zhuofan called the army to create chaos, hijacked the Holy Mother, and rebelled! The Qing Dynasty is in danger, and the king of the alcohol county will join forces with Ronglu, Encheng, and Wen Heng to capture Guan Rebellion and save the sect! Encyclical! ”

Rong Lu's brain, "boom", exploded.

In the "boom" sound in his head, he only heard Wen Heng say loudly: "Queen Mother and Queen Mother Shengming!" Obey the decree! Belch...... This, the minister's liver and brain are smeared, and he will die after himself! ”

After Wen Heng's nondescript statement, the study fell into a deathly silence, and Rong Lu could hear his "pounding" heartbeat and heavy breathing.

The most feared thing...... It's finally happening!

What to do?!

However, there is no time to carefully analyze the benefits and losses!

In any case, first-

He gritted his teeth, and although he tried his best, his voice still trembled a little: "Minister, the order." ”

He heard a soft "hum" from the Alcohol King.

Rong Lu knew that this was because King Alcohol was dissatisfied that he was not like Wen Heng, as soon as the "special edict" came out, he immediately "obeyed the decree of the minister" - however, listening to the tone, it should be fine, and he would not really have any prejudices against himself, after all, this kind of earth-shattering "secret decree" should also allow the listener to be "shocked" for a moment.

"Like," Liu Baodi smiled, "There is another one, there is no movement?" Why, Enlupu, are you going not to obey the order? ”

At this time, Encheng, the seven souls had already gone to the six spirits, and when they heard the three words "not obeying the order", they shook violently, almost knelt down, barely stabilized their bodies, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare, don't dare!" It's just, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"Uh, uh," Eun Cheng could barely speak, "it's just, it's just, this, this, the Queen Mother...... Sure enough, sure enough, so, so ......"

King Alcohol raised his eyebrows, and said in a loud voice: "What, what do you mean, do you mean that I am pretentious?" ”

"Don't dare! Don't dare! En Cheng's soul flew away and kowtowed, "This is not what lowly duty means, this is not what lowly duty means!" ”

Hey, why did Enjunmen suddenly slip away?

"Then what do you mean?!"

In King Alcohol's words, there was a huge coercion, and Eun Cheng really couldn't kneel, he swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say the words "obey the order".

"You two," said the Alcohol King, "get up first." ”

The two of you - naturally refer to Rong Lu and Wen Heng.

Rong Lu and Wen Heng stood up, kneeling on the ground, only Encheng was left, this kind of pressure on all sides was like a blockage, Encheng couldn't bear it anymore, he shook for a while, the whole person almost lay on the ground, and whispered in his mouth: "Humble, humble, obey...... Purpose. ”

When receiving the order, they are all "obeying the order", and no one has ever said anything about "despicable obedience".

The alcohol king didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?" ”

"Minister...... Follow...... Purpose. ”

The Alcohol King secretly exhaled.

But-

He turned his head, glanced at Liu Bao for the first time, and frowned slightly.

Didn't you originally say that he was "only the king's head and the horse's head"? How does this look like ...... Reluctant?

Besides, how can you do big things with such a pus-filled appearance?

Liu Baodi knew what King Alcohol meant, smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Wang, this secret decree is indeed a bit thrilling. In any case, the open garden is still ordered in the end, and that's good! Insignificant! Insignificant! ”

The Alcohol King snorted, "That's it." ”

After a pause, "You should get up too!" ”

Encheng said in a low voice, "Thank you, Lord Wang", and struggled for a while, however, his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't stand up for a while.

Rong Lu and Wen Heng hurriedly picked him up from left to right.

Eun Cheng's clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Lupu has some doubts," Liu Baodi said, "It's not surprising, even Zhonghua and Qizhong, there will be a little strange - after Guan said that the army caused chaos, the prince was ordered to 'go back to the house to study, and think about it behind closed doors', and never left Taiping Lake, how did this secret decree come about?" ”

Rong Lu thought to himself, I am indeed "a little strange" about this matter - but if you don't say it, I don't dare to take the initiative to ask.

"Of course," Liu Baodi said, "the so-called will of the prince is nothing but the edict of Guan and his henchmen, and at that time, the queen mother and queen mother had already held them hostage and could not be the master." ”

After a pause, "However, although Guan Mou controlled the palace ban, he didn't think of prohibiting the palace dependents from entering the palace - this secret decree was secretly handed over by the Queen Mother to Fujin, the king of the alcohol county, and brought out of the palace." ”

Yes?

Liu Baodi turned to King Alcohol, "Lord Wang, I see, please Zhonghua, Lupu, and Qizhong take a look at the secret edict?" - In this way, everyone will feel more at ease! ”

"Okay!"

King Alcohol handed the roll of white silk to Liu Baodi.

Liu Baodi took it and stepped forward, "Zhonghua." ”

Rong Lu hurriedly took it with both hands, and the eyes of Encheng and Wen Heng also gathered.

As soon as it was opened, the three of them, involuntarily, all said "huh".

On the white silk, every word is red, and it turns out to be a blood edict!

Liu Baodi said slowly: "The Queen Mother and Queen Mother bit her fingers in front of Fujin, the king of Alcohol County, and wrote this blood edict!" ”

Wen Heng was indignant and said loudly: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death!" Please give the order immediately, the whole battalion will be dispatched, and the side of the monarch will be cleared! ”

"Loyal to love to sex!" Liu Baodi praised, "However, this matter still needs to be carefully arranged-this, let's talk about it later." ”

Rong Lu looked at the blood edict carefully, the handwriting was crooked, unconventional, and there were several other words, for example, the word "alcohol" in "alcohol county king", "unitary" was written as "west", and "enjoy" was written as "heng"; The "Lu character" of "Ronglu" is a little more next to the word show, and it is written next to the word clothes; The word "Heng" in "Wen Heng" is simply written as "horizontal".

It is indeed very similar to the handwriting of the queen mother who has never read any books.

It's just-

It's just that now is not the time to ponder.

Rong Lu saw it and passed it on to Encheng; Eun Cheng read it and passed it to Wen Heng.

When Encheng and Wen Heng "read", their hands trembled slightly-one seemed to be frightened, the other seemed to be angry, Wen Heng even had tears in his eyes, choked up and said: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, the lord humiliates the ministers to death!" ”

Rong Lu secretly said in his heart: In this Wenqi, it is really "loyalty and love" so far? Before, you didn't see much of it, did you?

After reading it, the blood edict was passed back to Rong Lu's hands, he bowed slightly, held it with both hands, and handed it back to Liu Baodi, and Liu Baodi also handed it back to King Alcohol in the same posture.

After receiving the edict, King Alcohol said, "Sit down, let's sum up." ”

After everyone sat down, King Alcohol said: "This matter, in fact, has a very detailed plan, but it is guaranteed to win!" Mr. Liu, tell everyone about it. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Baodi began a long speech, saying "The Shenji Battalion is one against the Xuanjun in the city", "Plus outside the city, the strength of the Xuanjun is not as much as that of the Shenji Battalion", "The Xuanjun in the city is extremely scattered, and the strength is weak, let's use fists to fingers, each of which is broken", "Street fighting, close combat, is the director of the Shenji Battalion", "I didn't expect that the prince would do 'Qingjun's side of the wise decision', a thunderous blow, will have miraculous results", and so on, one by one.

When Liu Baodi was gushing, Wen Heng looked excited and kept echoing; As for Encheng, listening to it, I feel that there does seem to be some truth, and slowly it is not so pale.

However, as far as Rong Lu is concerned, although he heard every word of Liu Baodi clearly, he really listened to not a single word.

It's just that, on the surface, he tries to stay calm, and from time to time he bows his head slightly, indicating that he is approving.

After analyzing the contrast between the forces of the enemy and us, Liu Baodi began to tell the specific plan: use the drill, gather the troops, read the secret edict, and attack by different routes. Among them, Rong Lu led the "Weiyuan Team" to take the Forbidden City directly and capture Guan Rebellion; At the same time, what Encheng does, what Wen Heng does, one by one, so and so, so and so.

After Liu Baodi finished speaking, Wen Heng glanced at Rong Lu and said with a smile: "Zhonghua, your messenger is the first merit!" To tell you the truth, I'm a little jealous! ”

Since the word "jealousy" was said, it is not real jealousy, Rong Lu smiled reluctantly, and was about to answer, when the alcohol king had already smiled "hehe" and said: "It's all the same, it's all the same!" There is no distinction between the first merit and the second merit, the big thing is decided, and the credit is the big guy! ”

"Yes!" Wen Heng said, "I'm joking, whatever the prince says, we'll do it!" ”

After a pause, "But I remember something—"

"What's the matter?"

"Guan Yi's earliest origin," Wen Heng said, "was the Xiao Cavalry Battalion - he was later transferred to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army!" At present, the left and right wing commanders of the Yamen under the command of the infantry army, Alhatu and Cai Erjia, are also from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion - it is rumored that these two people are both brothers of Guan Yi! ”

After a pause, "Lord Wang, Mr. Liu, you see, the 'Xiao Cavalry' I brought ......"

As mentioned above, the Shenji Battalion only has one "own team", the "Weiyuan Team", and the other teams are all drawn from the flag battalions in the capital and drawn from the forward battalion, which is called the "Forward Team", and those drawn from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are called the "Xiao Cavalry Team".

Several people understood what Wen Heng meant, and they were afraid that in the "Xiao Cavalry Team", some people would collude with Guan, A, Cai, etc., and when they did something, they would have a lot to do with it; At least, when it comes to the match, it may not be able to make a dead hand.

King Alcohol was stunned for a moment, and turned to Liu Baodi: "Why do you think Mr. is worried?" ”

"Guan Yi left the Xiaoqi camp early," Liu Baodi said in a deep voice, "At that time, he was just a foreign commissioner Lan Ling, and he was nothing; However, Alhatu and Cai Erjia can't be completely unguarded - well, it's a good reminder! ”

After a pause, "That's it, Lord Wang, the Shenji Battalion should also keep people to watch the house, and the 'Xiao Cavalry Team' will stay on Wangfujing Street and Cinder Hutong to watch over the house, anyway, among the teams, the 'Xiao Cavalry Team' has the smallest number of people, and if they are not sent out, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." ”

The alcohol king thought for a moment, "Done!" ”

Look at Wen Heng: "Qizhong, what do you think?" ”

"Obey the king's commands!"

"Any questions?"

No one spoke for a while.

After a while, Encheng said cautiously: "Xuanjun in Beijing, this ...... Uh, don't worry about it, then, what about Tianjin? ”
