The largest post house in Qingzhou City—

At this time, the entire post house was guarded by the Qingzhou City Guards, and it was impossible for even a fly to fly in.

Chu Dongsheng lived in the largest guest room of the post house, and several attendants at the door stood with their eyebrows condensed, their faces heavy, and they were vigilantly observing the surroundings at any time.

At this time, the leader of the guards rushed to push the door in, then turned around and closed the door, and hurriedly came to Chu Dongsheng and bowed to him: "My lord, it still can't work." ”

Chu Dongsheng, who closed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "Can't you find out any news?" ”

The leader of the guards shook his head and said: "The people at the post station don't talk to our people, and they can't find out the wind, just now I wanted to go out on the grounds of buying goods on the street, but I was also stopped by the Qingzhou soldiers at the door, and they didn't let them go, just said what we needed to explain, and they would do it for us." ”

Chu Dongsheng picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, shook his head and said, "The tea leaves in the north are too dry, not as fragrant as the Central Plains. ”

Seeing this, the leader of the guard was impatient, and when did he participate in politics, the adult still had time to drink tea.

"My lord, if Wang Fei will have bad intentions and it will be unfavorable to you, how can I go back and explain to Your Majesty, it is really not good, I am willing to fight to the death to protect your lordship!"

Chu Dongsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the anxious leader of the guards, and said with a smile: "The general is a little restless, although the Qingzhou Army put us under house arrest, it has no intention of harming us, I am afraid that there is another mystery in this matter." ”

"What do you mean?" The leader of the guards wondered.

Chu Dongsheng stood up and said with a wry smile: "I have been classmates with Wang Fei for several years, and I am a sworn brother, so I know his character quite well. My second brother has always been short-tempered, and I came to Qingzhou on behalf of His Majesty to appease him, and in his eyes it must be an insult to him, even if he will not kill me in his brotherhood for many years, he will definitely scold me..."

After a pause, Chu Dongsheng said again: "Now he avoids it, this is definitely not his style." ”

"That's... Do you know why? The leader of the guard asked again.

Chu Dongsheng said: "The reason is nothing more than two possibilities, the first possibility is that my second brother is not in Qingzhou City at all. ”

The leader of the guard said without hesitation: "The Qingzhou soldiers are few and far behind, and now they are being attacked on three sides, and they can support it until now, completely because of the prestige that General Wang Fei has established for many years of military exploits in the north, if he does not sit in Qingzhou to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that no one can take his place." ”

Chu Dongsheng nodded: "Yes, Wang Fei will be the backbone of Qingzhou, once he leaves this position, the consequences are unimaginable, and this possibility is minimal."

Since the possibility that he is not in Qingzhou is ruled out, there is only one reason, and that is that he has a reason why he must not see me. ”

The leader of the guards was taken aback: "Why can't you see your lord?" What is that? ”

Chu Dongsheng glanced at the leader of the guards coldly, and said unhappily: "I am not an immortal, I can predict everything." ”

The leader of the guards trembled in his heart, and hurriedly said, "My subordinates will immediately find a way to investigate!" ”

After the leader of the guards went out, Chu Dongsheng sat down again, holding the teacup but not drinking, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, second brother, why don't you see Dongsheng?" I really don't want to see you defeated..."

On the other day, under Chu Dongsheng's constant protests, Murong Sinan had to come to the post house again to negotiate with him, but this time Murong Sinan did not come to the post house alone, but brought more than a dozen strong entourage.

"Lord Chen Nan, I wonder when General Wang will be free to see Chu?" After Chu Dongsheng bowed, he immediately put forward his own request.

Chen Nan is Murong Sinan, although Chu Dongsheng has never seen Murong Sinan, but just in case, he still changed his name.

Murong Sinan returned his hand and saluted, although the Murong family had declined, but the officialdom etiquette was no stranger to Murong Sinan, and he smiled and said: "Lord Chu, don't be anxious, you and I will sit down and talk in detail." ”

After speaking, Murong Sinan didn't care whether Chu Dongsheng agreed or not, he walked straight to the table and sat down, looking extremely relaxed.

Chu Dongsheng frowned without a trace, so he had to turn around and sit down.

"I don't know what position Lord Chen holds in Qingzhou? Chu also knew a lot of colleagues in Qingdao and Erzhou, but he had never met Master Chen. ”

Chu Dongsheng asked the attendant to drink a cup of tea for each of them, seemingly chatting and asking, but in fact, he was already suspicious of Murong Sinan's identity, not for anything else, just because Qingzhou is now surrounded by enemies on many sides and is in crisis, but the "Chen Nan" in front of him has always been unhurried and impatient, and he doesn't seem to be worried.

Murong Sinan picked up the tea handed over by the attendant, gently shook the tea leaves floating on it twice with the lid of the bowl, and said with a smile: "Lord Chu is joking, Chen is just a petty official in Qingzhou City, where will Lord Chu know where he is below." ”

Chu Dongsheng was even more vigilant when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face, and changed his words and said, "I don't know if my second brother, General Wang Fei, is still satisfied with His Majesty's reward?" ”

Murong Sinan glanced up at Chu Dongsheng, and suddenly smiled: "Satisfied, very satisfied, the second general of my family said that it is the blessing of the Wang family and the blessing of the people of Qingzhou to be favored by His Majesty." ”

Chu Dongsheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this really the case? So when will my second brother see me? ”

Murong Sinan said with a smile: "Lord Chu, don't worry, since my Qingzhou wants to return to the capital, it is not a matter that can be achieved by saying two words, in order to prevent your appeasement from happening, Lord Chu, the second general of my family has been trying to appease the hearts of the army and the people in the past few days, and he really can't spare time." ”

Chu Dongsheng was about to speak, but Murong Sinan said: "Besides, the situation in Qingzhou now Lord Chu must be very clear, there is Wang Xuanqing in the west and the prefecture, there are fierce people in the north, and there are your forbidden troops in Kyoto in the east, which makes the people of Qingzhou panic, and the second general of my family is also busy." ”

When Chu Dongsheng heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "Please tell my second brother that as long as he surrenders to His Majesty, he will be my Daguang orthodox border army, and we will naturally spare no effort to help Qingzhou eliminate troubles and expel the thieves." ”

Murong Sinan said with a smile: "Lord Chu's words are a bit exaggerated, right?" Not to mention that Wang Xuanqing of Bingzhou has tens of thousands of elite troops, the gang of fierce Di people from the grassland alone is very difficult to deal with, and Lord Chu also has to rely on a mouth to make the fierce Di people retreat? ”

Murong Sinan's words were yin and yang, and he was extremely mean, but Chu Dongsheng had been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally wouldn't show his heart to such a tricky remark.

Chu Dongsheng said with a smile: "Lord Chen is too worried, and the king of Xuanqing is a withered ear, my majesty's edict can make him dare not act rashly, as for the fierce people, it is not easy to deal with, but if Qingzhou is attached to my majesty, when the time comes, my elite king division of the Kyoto forbidden army and the Qingzhou army will merge together to fight foreign enemies, why worry about the fierce Di will not retreat?" ”
