In the general's mansion, there is still singing and dancing, and the scenery is rich and rich. Whether it was an ominous fire and a secret discussion of several people, it could not stop the peaceful atmosphere of the General's Mansion.

Cao Ze likes to listen to operas, and the opera in the house is indispensable for a day. I used to like to listen to martial arts dramas such as "Li Kui's Havoc in Zhongyitang", "Capturing San Lang Alive", and "Lin Chong Running at Night", and when I was in good spirits, I went up to show my hands in person, and I never got tired of it. In the past two years, I have grown older, but I like Kunqu Opera more, the water mill is tactful and melodious, and the beat is slow and brisk, like a good medicine, which can relax his mind.

Today's singing is the Kunqu opera "Water Margin Captures San Lang alive", the domestic troupe in the water pavilion opposite is playing vigorously on stage, the female Hua Dan's voice is clear and poignant, her body is slender and soft, the long white sleeves are flipped from time to time, and the miserable expression is pitiful, but it makes people forget that it is Yan Po who is stained with flowers and grass, just as it is the down-and-out daughter of which family, the figure in the play is shaking on the frozen pond water, which is very meaningful. If it was usual, Cao Ze would hum a couple of lines along with the beat, and then reward them heavily. But today, Cao Ze didn't have the heart to look at it, and he couldn't hear a word.

Cao Ze, Xiao Yan, Cao Shuang, Luo Shi, Tai Hengyu, and Sun Fei all boiled their eyes red, but they were not tired. Cao Ze has been sick since the fire in Jiyi Building, and it has been a few days. At this moment, he was lying comfortably on the couch, closing his eyes and listening to the discussion.

They are plotting a specific way to get rid of Xiao Zhen.

The matter of getting rid of the second child in the Taihe Hall has been decided. Because most of the guards of the Taihe Hall are Cao Ze's people. Xiao Zhen's daily court affairs must go almost every day, and it is very appropriate to do it here, but just now Xiao Yan proposed to close the two gates of Longzong and Jingyun and cut off the traffic in the palace, which caused everyone's controversy.

Cao Shuang didn't look down on Xiao Yan's posture of shaking a goose feather fan the most, so he stood up and said loudly: "Most of the guards on duty in the Taihe Hall are our people, why bother to make the second child suspicious?" ”

Taiheng Yu went against the norm in the past, and said very calmly: "The situation in Yuqing Palace is unknown, in case the other party is prepared, what will we do?" ”

"Yuqing Palace? The palace was in ruins. Cao Shuang said disdainfully, "There is only one road leading to the Jingyun Gate in front, the second child dares to go in, let's transfer all the guards nearby, such a siege, trap him to death!" ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Luo Shi interjected unhurriedly: "No, no, no, this kind of thing can only be resolved quickly, and one step slow will become a hatred for eternity." ”

"Luo Shi is right," Cao Ze suddenly spoke, "so the palace gate must be sealed, and the most competent person must be used to do this." ”

Xiao Yan said, "Master Sun Fei is very suitable. You're now a soldier in the war. Now holding the big seal, a sentry is transferred to guard the Jingyun Gate, respond to the Taihe Palace, intercept the king's guards outside, and kill the fleeing eunuchs inside. Besides, those forbidden soldiers are familiar with you, so if you just pretend to say that someone is making trouble, everyone will follow you. ”

"Me!" Sun Fei was slightly shocked, glanced at Cao Ze, and said with a smile, "How can I take on such a big responsibility." Wu Haoze is in charge of guarding inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, if he refuses to let him go and refuses to help, it will be in vain. ”

"You've come this far, and you still want to retreat?" Cao Shuang raised his hand impatiently and said, "Behind you is an abyss!" ”

"I don't want to retreat," Sun Fei said coldly, "I'm telling the truth!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Cao Shuang was a little impatient, "I'll block the Jingyun door, will it be?" ”

Cao Shuang looked at Sun Fei provocatively and said, "With me, I won't even be able to close a door!" Then Wu Haoze should be dealt with by you! ”

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face, "The general's 200,000 taels of silver have sent this general guarding the city!" But in my opinion, the surname Wu is definitely not 200,000 yuan to buy, as long as you can buy a delaying strategy, it will be worth buying him a slow soldier's heart. We don't ask him to help me, as long as he is unprepared for me, everything outside of the Great Inner can be assured. He swept the people present with his eyes, "I'm afraid this is really biased against Master Sun Fei." If you want to lead the troops to take over the Praetorian Guard, the military power is in hand, and the surname Wu is beheaded, and the palace is in response, then there will be no husband. ”

Cao Ze sat up straight at this time and said, "If you don't get rid of this hidden danger, you will have to worry about getting things done." He coughed lightly, and then continued, "If this nail is removed, the sovereignty will be in my hands, and it doesn't matter if the palace is not good for a while." There is urgency, and this credit is worth a prince! ”

The word "Prince" hit the hearts of all the people present like an electric current, and everyone was shocked. Sun Fei humbly said embarrassedly: "Prince, I can't bear it." - When the time comes, I will be able to take over the Praetorian Guard smoothly as an officer of the military department! ”

"By you?" When Cao Shuang heard the word "prince", he also felt that his ears were hot and his eyes were red, and he took off his hat and said, "Then who is in Wu Haoze's eyes, it's hard to say whether you ignore you or not!" Sun Fei smiled coldly and pushed back, "Lord Cao Shuang thinks that my sword can't cut people's heads?" ”

Xiao Yan saw that Cao Shuang had the heart to fight for merit, and was afraid that they would cause disputes and affect the overall situation, so he hurriedly diverted his words, "Brother Shi! Xiao Yan called softly, "Naturally, you can't let Master Sun Fei leave empty-handed, of course he is in the identity of Qincha!" As he spoke, he smiled with the flask in his hand.

When the big event was decided, everyone felt relieved, and when they were about to go on, a guard on the door ran out of breath and reported with sweat on his head: "Yu, General, Wang Jia has arrived at the house!" Suddenly, the air became like condensation, and the room was full of people who were so cold that their faces were scorched, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"How many people did you bring?" Xiao Yan asked anxiously.

"There are five in total, and the minions are not allowed to report it, saying that they want to see the general's garden, and laugh as they walk. I'm afraid I'm going to get to the West Flower Hall soon. The slave was afraid that the master was not prepared, so he dared to tell him first. ”

"What a fast leg! Avoid it, I'll take over! Cao Ze and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, and said kindly: "You go and wait!" The guard withdrew, Xiao Yan changed his calm demeanor, and hurriedly said to everyone, "Let's go from this side and go back to the house from the East Corner Gate!" He whispered a few more words to Cao Ze, and then left quickly with everyone.

Xiao Zhen's visit to the General's Mansion this time was carefully considered. He felt that before he made a big move, he had to visit this minister who was not in the court, and create an atmosphere of harmony between the monarch and the minister. First, it can stabilize the nervous mood of the foreign ministers and show the political stability of the imperial court; second, it can show grace to the nations, and show Cao Ze's crime of rebellion; At the same time, he also spared the tongue of others, saying that he, the king, "punished without teaching". It was Song Qinglian's side, so that the old man could know that he was not weak, incompetent, greedy and afraid of death.

Of course, for the sake of safety, he secretly ordered several shadow guards to find out in advance, and there was no abnormal movement among the soldiers inside and outside the capital. After everything was ready to stop, and the internal affairs office recorded the file, he followed the car lightly and went straight to the general's mansion, and only took Xie Lan, Rong Xuan and Fang Fei with him. Rong Xuan was still very worried, so he brought almost all the shadow guards, disguised themselves as ordinary people, and scattered around the General's Mansion in case of accidents.

"So, don't be so careful, Cao Ze won't do anything to me in his mansion." Thinking about his experience as a thief in his previous life, he was already very cautious. Xiao Zhen scratched his head and said with a smile, "Why are you less daring than me." ”

"This is not certain, in case he has secretly raised an army in his own mansion, it is not necessary!" Rong Xuan looked panicked, "If you want me to say, it's better for the king not to go, Cao Ze is too dangerous now, who knows what he will do." ”

"No matter what, it's absolutely impossible to raise an army!" Xiao Zhi shook his head, "Your brain hole is really big!" ”

"The king must not make a mistake no matter what." Fang Fei suddenly interjected, her serious expression and her fair-skinned and delicate face were a little incompatible, "We must make sure that the king is safe, don't worry!" ”

Xie Lan and Rong Xuan also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Zhi was defeated, "As you please." ”

Xie Lan, Fang Fei, Rong Xuan and Su Wan are loyal to Xiao Zhen, needless to say. The old queen mother is even more affectionate, although Sima Qing and Xiao Zhi are not husband and wife, they are also respectful and affectionate. Although Shen Lian and Rashomon have plans, and although Guo Zhang doesn't know his true identity, he is also a gentleman's friend to Xiao Zhen, and treats each other with sincerity, which he looks at.

It's just that he is not the real Xiao Zhen, he is Xu Zi'an who stole Xiao Zhen's body, and these good things never really belong to him.

It has been several years since he came to this world, and he has long been accustomed to living as Xiao Zhen, managing the government and giving orders. even once thought that he was Xiao Zhi - the lord of the Qi country who was less than twenty years old. It wasn't until that day that Song Qinglian took the initiative to reveal his identity and inform the "Nuwa Plan" that he gradually understood.

I'm not the only one.

No matter how hard he tries, he will never be the real Xiao Zhen, and now that Song Qinglian knows his identity, there will be more traversers and more people who know his identity in the future. At that time, if they had known the truth, would they still be as sincere about themselves as they are now?

Since he is not the real Xiao Zhen, from what angle should he deal with Cao Ze and Xiao Yan's rebels? Do you really have the right to take their lives?

These questions would pop up in his mind from time to time, and at times he would be overwhelmed.

Then let this secret sink into the sea forever, you have occupied this body, and there is nowhere to escape! I can only live like this! Live well as Xiao Zhen! He made up his mind again.

Whether it is Xu Zi'an, who is a thief, or Xiao Zhen, the current King of Qi, he has always been a strange man full of contradictions, timid and cautious, and with a special sense of humor.

And on the streets of the capital, another strange man walked on the street, the man was tall, with deep facial features, and his eyes were especially sharp, like knives, which made people dare not look directly. The long scar on the left side of his face resembles a medallion, showing off the glorious days of the owner's bloody battle. His erect body, shining armor and swords studded with refined stones indicate his extraordinary status, and what does not match his noble status is his hair tied up haphazardly, and the long cigarette stick in his hand.

The man walked into an inconspicuous teahouse, the teahouse was in the innermost part of a remote alley, the appearance was dilapidated, there was no greeting from the guys, and there was not even a figure in broad daylight, which looked a little gloomy.

He walked into the teahouse, where several tables and benches were set up crookedly, and the man sat on one stool at random, and did not greet the man, but only smoked one mouthful. After a while, a girl with glasses yawned and sleepy-eyed came out from behind, suddenly saw the man sitting on the stool, startled, the petite figure shrunk into a ball, and saw the man's face clearly, before she relaxed her vigilance.

"You're here to say something, scare me!" The girl complained, "Uncle Song, someone is here." ”

"Oh, got it." Hearing the shout, a little old man hurriedly ran down from the second floor of the teahouse, the little old man was thin and withered, with a pair of triangular eyes squinting, it was Song Qinglian! He looked at the silent man, "It's on time!" ”

"I think it's good to get used to it." The man explained succinctly, "Xiao Yan contacted me. ”

"This is natural, if you want to take the capital of Qi State, you are the key to holding the power of guarding inside and outside the Forbidden Palace." Song Qinglian asked with great interest, "What benefits does he promise you?" ”

"200,000 taels of silver, after the matter is completed, I will be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers." The man replied.

"That's a lot of money!" Song Qinglian brought out refreshments from the back, sat down opposite the man, and quipped, "You are really valuable!" ”

"But I don't think he really believes me, and he will probably kill me when it happens!" The man said with a sip of tea.

"It's a soldier's intuition again, it's quite accurate." Song Qinglian smiled.

"No one can believe you with such a fierce and vicious face." The girl with glasses said, "Keep smiling, create small surprises from time to time, and occasionally show a sense of humor and masculinity, so as to improve the relationship of the opposite sex, "Love Magic!! How to Attract the Right Sex is written in the book. ”

"So it's not about finding a partner, you should also read more serious books."

"I've taken the money now." The man pulled the topic back, "How are you in the palace, is that Xiao Zhi also from time travel?" ”

"Yes, but it's a special situation." Song Qinglian paused, "He crossed over unintentionally, and it was his soul that crossed into King Qi's body. ”

"It's a strange thing." The girl frowned and thought, "Even the teleportation system over there hasn't developed to this extent." ”

"It is not excluded that the technology here has developed rapidly." The man said, looking at the little old man meaningfully, "Recently, the Houhan has not been very peaceful, and has sent a lot of sectarians to preach, and it seems that they are also looking for something, after all, that old friend of yours is not a vegetarian." ”

"It's possible with that experimental maniac." The girl sneered, "This continent has become what it is today, all thanks to him." However, from a researcher's point of view, I still respect him very much. ”

"Okay, there are too many possibilities for this matter, and then we will study it slowly, and now you just need to protect Xiao Zhen." The old man interrupted the two of them's conjecture, "We have to gain a firm foothold in the Qi country first." ”

"It seems that you already believe in this Xiao Zhen." The girl was very perceptive and calmly asked, "Are you sure you're on his side?" ”

"This person is not reliable, but he is also a person who has crossed over, and he will be easier to communicate." Song Qinglian thought for a while, "And he himself has a lot of unknowns. ”

"Isn't the unknown all good?"

"It's better than nothing." Song Qinglian smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "Even if it's a straw now, you have to grasp it, otherwise there will be no chance at all." ”

"Got it." After the man answered, he stood up and walked out, his movements clean.

"Eh, wait, the specific plan hasn't been decided yet!" Song Qinglian stopped him, "Haoze, let's talk about it in detail." ”

"Just kill all of them." Wu Haoze stood still and didn't look back, "I just want to fight and kill freely, this is the purpose of my crossing, and it is also the reason why I joined forces with you." As for taking out the enemy, I don't need you to teach me, I know better than you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Song Qinglian to answer, Wu Haoze took a puff of cigarette, stepped out of his long legs, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the two.

"Eh, what a weirdo." The girl shook her head and sighed, "You can't get a girlfriend anywhere." ”

"You're not much better." Song Qinglian looked at her with a little headache, "You two are quite strange. ”
