The two walked to a bonfire and sat down, and Wang Chong asked, "General, who do you think Third Uncle Xu will send here?" ”

"It must be the princess and Miss Qin!" Shi Min said.

"How do you know?"

"Guess! According to Uncle Xu's temperament, he will definitely do this! ”

"If the princess comes, how are you going to tell him about your plans?"

Shi Min sighed and said, "I don't know how to speak!" ”

"Actually...... The last general feels that how to explain to the princess is not the most important thing, but what to do after your plan is completed! ”

Shi Min nodded silently and said, "You got to the point!" I'm just thinking about it! ”

"Why don't you call yourself emperor, we will definitely support you! With our current strength and strength, no one in the Central Plains is our opponent! Wang Chong said.

"You're right! But the Central Plains is still the world of the Hu people, just with tens of thousands of us, once we really do that, we will become the target of everyone, and people from all walks of life will definitely flock to come to crusade! Tigers are hard to beat wolves, how can we resist them then? ”

"That's what the general said."

"At this time, the opportunity for an incident is not yet ripe, but the will of the ancestors dare not forget!"

"There's one thing, I don't know if you've ever cared about it!" Wang Chong asked.

"What?"

"That's what I said before, the rumors that have been circulating in Yecheng recently, I heard Gonggong Lu say that there are only three people who know this secret, including you, who leaked the news? Don't you think it's a bit strange? ”

"I really haven't paid much attention to this matter in the past two days, you reminded me well!" Shi Min suddenly realized.

"The Xihua Marquis Mansion was forced to the point where it is now, purely because someone did it deliberately, and the last general thinks that the general should check how this news leaked!"

"Lu An will not leak the news! His friendship with the Xihua Marquis Mansion is extraordinary, and it can be seen from the previous events, I believe in him! ”

"But Imperial Physician Zhang has long been missing, did the person who spread the rumors know the news from Imperial Physician Zhang?"

Shi Min shook his head and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang is timid and afraid, he has already escaped from Yecheng, and no one doubts the death of the first emperor!" How could anyone else pursue this? ”

"That's why it's a little weird!" Wang Chong said: "It can't be Shi Shi himself who said it, right?" When the last general heard that he had gone mad. ”

"No, Lu An has basically been serving by Shi Shi's side all the time, if Shi Shi said this, Lu An has no reason not to know!"

"The general is right...... Wang Chong scratched his head and said, "You didn't even tell Brother Zhang about this matter before, and there is no reason for it to be revealed from you......"

"At that time, this news was sent to Xihuahou Mansion by Lu An, and after I read it, I put it in the house and never touched it again......"

"General!" Wang Chong suddenly interrupted Shi Min's words and asked, "Could someone have peeked at that letter and spread the news?" ”

Shi Min was stunned for a moment and said, "No!" The people in Xihuahou's Mansion are all their own people! On weekdays, except for Uncle Xu, no one will enter my house, even Uncle Xu, he won't look through my things, so who will find the letter? ”

"Third Uncle Xu is loyal to you and the general, naturally not, but can you make sure that no one else has touched that letter?"

Wang Chong's seemingly crazy speculations made Shi Min suspicious for a while, could it be that the news really leaked from himself? If that's the case, who peeked at the letter? Could it be that in the Xihuahou Mansion, there are really traitors?

"Impossible! The people in the Xihuahou Mansion will not collude with outsiders! Outsiders can't enter Xihuahou Mansion! There must be something wrong somewhere else! Shi Min said.

"No matter who leaks the news, the initiator is Zhang Bao! This old thing is so hateful! ”

"It's providence!" Shi Min looked at Wang Chong and said, "Don't you think so?" At this time, God sent Lu An here, asked him to bring the things of the ancestors, and sent Uncle Li and his son over, so that I knew my true life experience! Let my original firm position begin to waver, if my father was still here, he must have done the same! ”

"The general is right! This is providence! Providence wants you to lead your brethren to fight against the Hu people! Make a difference! If the general knew that His Majesty was his father's killer, he would not have protected him desperately in the first place! ”

Speaking of Shi Zhan, Shi Min's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "This may also be providence!" My father has lived for loyalty all his life, but he doesn't know that the object of his loyalty is a deception and a lie based on feud! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Min's tone trembled a little, and Wang Chong was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to comfort him. Shi Min wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "But in all fairness, the first emperor treated the Xihua Marquis Mansion quite well, and his father's loyalty can be regarded as repaying his kindness for raising him over the years, but the hatred of the Ran family and the Xianbei Xiongnu people is not understood!" One yard to one yard, the heinous sins committed by the Hu people in the Central Plains must be repaid! ”

Looking at Shi Min's gritted teeth, Wang Chong also said, "That's right! I was ruined by the Hu people, and many brothers in our army had the same experience! ”

After speaking, Wang Chong turned his face and said to Shi Min again: "In this life, to be honest, except for following you and my brothers, I, Wang Chong, really don't know where to go, because in this barracks, I feel at home!" ”

Shi Min smiled bitterly, patted Wang Chong's head, and said, "You stinky boy!" ”

The two chatted for a long time unconsciously, and just as Shi Min was about to return to the camp, suddenly a pigeon landed a few steps away.

Wang Chong recognized that it was a pigeon in the camp dedicated to communication, so Wang Chong ran up cautiously, grabbed the pigeon, and then looked at the pigeon's leg, and sure enough, there was a small note tied to it.

"General!" Wang Chong handed the note to Shi Min.

"Let's go!" Shi Min grabbed the note and hurried back to the camp.

Wang Chong helped Shi Min light the oil lamp, Shi Min opened the note, leaned on the side of the oil lamp, and then saw that the note read: "Luoyang soldiers out of more than 30,000 people, heading towards Yecheng, the vanguard can arrive within three days." ”

"General, Zhang Bao is really already deploying people!"

"Sure enough, as Shi Jian said!" Shi Min burned the note.

"What shall we do?" Wang Chong asked.

"Wait! Wait for Zhang Mufeng to come back! I want to see if Shi Jian has broken his promise! ”

......

After receiving the news from the flying pigeon, Shi Min was no longer sleepy, he waited for Zhang Mufeng's news until ten o'clock in the afternoon, and finally a carriage arrived outside the camp.

And it was Zhang Mufeng who brought this carriage.

The soldiers guarding the camp gate did not know what was going on, so they asked, "General, ...... on this carriage?"

Zhang Mufeng took out Shi Min's edict and said, "Release!" ”

The leader looked at it and hurriedly said, "Offended!" General please! ”

Zhang Mufeng personally led the carriage and came to Shi Min's tent, Wang Chong understood and walked into the tent.

A moment later, Shi Min walked out, and Shi Xin also got out of the carriage with Qin Wan's support, and when he saw Shi Min, he ran over crying and fell into Shi Min's arms.

"Why did it suddenly become like this......" Shi Xin said in a choked voice.

Shi Min comforted Shi Xin a little at a loss, but saw Qin Wan subconsciously lower her head, saluted and said, "I've seen Gongzi." ”

Shi Min said to the two: "Let's talk about the big tent first!" ”

The two entered the big tent, Shi Xin's face was full of tears, and Qin Wan stood in the corner with interest, silent.

"I heard you're going to raise troops, right?" Shi Xin asked.

"This is forced to be helpless, if I don't do this, the Xihua Marquis Mansion and my tens of thousands of brothers will be finished!"

"My father was blinded by the villain, and his nature is not bad! Wouldn't it be nice if you made it clear to him face to face? Why do we have to fight each other? ”

"When you entered the palace that day, you also saw your father, and you yourself said that the current father is not the previous father, isn't it?" Shi Min frowned slightly, and said: "Yecheng is now rumored that the death of the first emperor was done by your father......

"That's all rumors! How could the Father Emperor do such a thing! Shi Xin interrupted Shi Min's words.

"But what I want to tell you is that this rumor is true, I learned this secret within two days of the death of the first emperor, but in order to protect your father, I have never revealed this news to the outside, and now for some reason, someone uses this news to kill the Xihua Marquis Mansion, how can I sit still and wait for death?" Shi Min said, stepped forward and said to Shi Xin: "Xin'er, your father has completely lost his mind!" He's no longer the father you know! Do you understand? ”
