When Liu Gouwa came back from Manxianglou, it was already night, and she had planned to find Meng Tao, so she had to push it until tomorrow. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Radar and Gao Qiang, sent Liu Gouwa back to the guest embassy arranged by the palace, and also said goodbye and returned to the barracks.

The guest embassy is the place where the capital of Shu receives officials from all over the country who return to Beijing and is to be summoned to meet guests, and there are more than 30 official rooms. Liu Gouwa was a doctor who entered the palace to treat the Empress Dowager Li, and belonged to foreign guests, and was also arranged by the palace to stay in this guest embassy. Wen Bin and Qiu Shao'an, the envoys of the Tang State, were arranged in the embassy of a higher level, and did not live with Liu Gouwa and others.

Liu Gouwa returned to the house of the guest embassy, saw Li Si and Tang Bohu and others, still bragging with candles, and saw Liu Gouwa coming back, they all came up to ask long and short questions, they had never seen the palace in their lives, and couldn't help but be very curious about the Shu Palace.

When Liu Gouwa finished talking about what he had seen and heard in the palace, Li Si suddenly heard something, and hurriedly said to Liu Gouwa: "Yes, brother, today I found a black-faced man, always wandering in front of our room, lingering, the brothers asked him what was the matter, he was still angry, ignoring us, the brothers always felt a little strange." ”

As soon as Liu Gouwa heard Li Si's words, she knew that the black-faced man was General Xu, and she didn't expect that she had only been in the palace for a day, so Meng Tao sent someone over in a hurry to contact him.

Liu Gouwa hadn't spoken yet, and Zhou Botong also said: "I went out to buy some food today, and I also found that outside the guest embassy where we lived, there were many people here, and their eyes were strange, always staring at the place where we lived." ”

Liu Gouwa listened to Zhou Botong's words, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, this Meng Tao couldn't believe himself in the end, and even sent someone to keep an eye on these brothers of hers as a threat.

Liu Gouwa didn't care about Meng Tao's stalking, after all, there was no need to betray them, they were just using each other, and when their goal was achieved, they would take the brothers away and go back to Hutou Mountain, forgiving them for wanting to cook dogs.

However, Liu Gouwa can't be careless, to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, so she has to prepare various countermeasures in advance, and can't help but say to Li Si and the others: "From tomorrow onwards, you have nothing to do, so don't act alone anymore, stay in the guest embassy courtyard more, and don't cause trouble outside." ”

"Brother, what's wrong?" Li Si couldn't help but ask puzzled when he saw Liu Gouwa's face heavy and her serious speech.

"Now, the political situation in Shu is surging, there is a crisis everywhere, a little careless, it will cause a fatal disaster, we are not familiar with life, we still have to be careful, only take precautions, arrange a retreat in advance." Liu Gouwa explained.

"Let's take care of his political situation, as long as we get the money and food promised by Shu State, let's pat our butts and leave immediately." Tang Bohu snorted and said.

"We can't leave yet, my brother still has some personal matters that have not been resolved, there is still someone to save, and I am tired of the brothers accompanying my brother to take risks, please forgive me." Liu Gouwa said frankly.

"Where did my brother say, my brother's business is our business, what do you say is not involved, do you say?" When Li Si heard this, he didn't ask Liu Gouwa what was going on or who, and immediately said in a cool voice. When the people in the room heard this, they gladly agreed.

So, Liu Gouwa, Li Si and others discussed how to avoid danger and how to escape in the event of any accident, and it was not arranged until the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, the eunuchs in the palace of Shu came to summon him, saying that he was summoned by Meng Chang, and Liu Gouwa felt in his heart that he had cured the illness of the Empress Dowager Li, and Meng Chang should have promised to give him money and food. With such a mentality, Liu Gouwa went to the palace to see Meng Chang.

Under the guidance of a little eunuch, Liu Gouwa came to the Chongming Hall, the main hall of the Shu Imperial Palace, which is also the place where Meng Chang handled state affairs and met the ministers. I saw that there were Yongchang Wangye and his son and several ministers standing in the hall early, Wenbin Qiu Shao'an of the Tang Kingdom, Wang Juma and others, and when they saw Liu Gouwa coming in, they couldn't help but look at Liu Gouwa, and they looked a little embarrassed by Liu Gouwa.

Liu Gouwa entered the hall, and only bowed to Meng Chang, his Hutou Mountain belonged to the Sanzhi cottage, the Jin State could not manage it, and the Tang and Shu countries could not manage it. Therefore, Liu Gouwa saw that no one knelt and bowed, and Meng Chang was not surprised, so he calmly accepted this flat salute, and then said: "Lord Liu Zhai is exempt from courtesy." ”

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhai was once an official of the Jin Kingdom, but he was repeatedly persecuted, and he had to go to Hutou Mountain as a last resort, and he fell into the grass, but he made Shi Weiyi anxious and miserable in Songcheng, and he was a rare talent, and his brother is willing to recommend him to serve our Shu Kingdom, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." After the senior brother finished Liu Gouwa's ceremony, he stood up and said to Meng Chang.

When Meng Chang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Gouwa, and said loudly: "The feat of Lord Liu Zhai, I have already heard Prince Renqing say, now that our Tang and Shu countries have married and formed an alliance, and they are about to join the Northern Expedition in the near future. ”

Liu Gouwa couldn't imagine that the senior brother looked up to himself so much, and before he could catch his breath when he came in, the senior brother immediately went straight to the point and recommended himself to Meng Chang, without any reserved posture, without any roundabouts, if people disagree, wouldn't they be embarrassed by others, Liu Gouwa thought wildly in his heart.

But think about it, Liu Gouwa really didn't dare to refuse on the spot, not giving face is a trivial matter, now these are still secrets, you know these secrets, you refused on the spot, will they still let you, swaggering out, muttering everywhere that Tang and Shu want to go north, so that the Jin State can be prepared.

Liu Gouwa had no choice but to salute Meng Chang again, and said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, the villain is in Hutou Mountain, and he has already told Prince Renqing that as long as there is food to grab, gold and silver to grab, we people in Hutou Mountain will be duty-bound." ”

"Okay, I will appoint you as the deputy general of the left front vanguard of the Northern Expedition, the general of the rangers, return to Hutou Mountain on a certain day, prepare for the attack, and respond to the vanguard army of our Northern Expedition Coalition Army, what do you think?" Meng Chang looked at Liu Gouwa and asked with a smile.

What else can I do, the officials have been sealed by you, can I still refuse, isn't that looking for death, Liu Gouwa muttered in her heart. However, this Meng Chang is really willing to pay the capital, although Liu Gouwa doesn't know what the hell is the deputy general of the pioneer in the front, in the final analysis, he still leads those brothers in Hutou Mountain, but the name of the ranger general still sounds quite powerful, at least one level higher than the senior brother's Zhaowu captain.

Liu Gouwa pretended to be moved and said: "Thank you for the emperor's appreciation and support." ”
