Shi Min led the horse and followed the man, and the two walked through several secluded alleys to a private house.

The man pushed open the door, turned to Shi Min and said, "Childe, please!" ”

Shi Min handed the reins to the man and commanded, "Don't get too close to my horse, it's very strong!" ”

The man couldn't help but take a step back, looked at the horse, and then at Shi Min, and responded, "Don't worry, Childe." ”

Shi Min smiled and turned around and walked in.

The house was very simple, with only an oil lamp lit, and was surrounded by peeling adobe, and even the pillars of the roof looked a little rotten and cracked.

A man in a cloak, with his back to Shi Min, heard the movement and said slowly: "Master Min, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

After speaking, the man turned his head, who was not Zhang Bao.

"Master Zhang!" Shi Min raised his hand slightly and saluted and looked at Zhang Bao.

Seeing Shi Min staring at him, he asked with a smile: "Is Childe wondering, there are rumors outside that he is crazy, why is he standing in front of you now?" ”

Shi Min sneered and said, "Lord Zhang has always been resourceful, and he is the brains of the Yan Palace, how could he go crazy so easily?" At most, it's just pretending to be crazy and stupid! ”

"Childe is really witty! You ......"

"Okay, Master Zhang, you ask me to come here at night, just say it directly, you don't have to detour, and polite words are avoided." Shi Min waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Bao's compliments.

"The Yanwang Mansion has fallen into the abyss, doesn't the Xihua Marquis Mansion plan to rescue it?"

"Rescue? How to rescue? Could it be that I want to take someone to rob Dali Temple? Shi Min asked.

"No, of course not!" Zhang Bao shook his head.

"What's that?" Shi Min was puzzled.

"What is robbing Dali Temple? If you want to rob, you will rob the entire Zhao country! I don't know if Gongzi and Hou Ye have this interest? Zhang Bao said.

Shi Min was about to speak, when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Lord Zhang, you are not small!" I dare to say such a rebellious thing! ”

Shi Min looked back and saw that it was his father Shi Zhan, and he couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Father! You're back so soon? ”

Shi Zhan walked in with a serious face, looked at Shi Min, and then at Zhang Bao, and said, "You asked our father and son to come here just to listen to your rebellious words?" ”

"I've seen Master Hou!" Zhang Bao was not in a hurry, and saluted respectfully.

"Don't be so polite, what you said, our father and son are not interested, farewell!" Shi Zhan said, and instructed Shi Min: "Let's go!" ”

Shi Min glanced at Zhang Bao, didn't say anything more, turned around and followed Shi Zhan to leave.

"It is said that Xihuahou is the first good general of Zhao State, but I didn't expect that he is also a shallow person." Zhang Bao said suddenly.

"Shallow?" Shi Zhan stopped, looked back at Zhang Bao, and asked, "Then according to Lord Zhang, is the rebellion prescient?" ”

"Don't you know the truth that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold?" Zhang Bao asked rhetorically.

"The matter of witch Gu, Your Majesty has not yet decided, how can Lord Zhang conclude that the Yan Wangfu has been defeated?"

"King Qing has returned to Beijing, isn't the development of the situation clear enough? Are you too paranoid or are you deceiving yourself? ”

"What about King Qing as the crown prince? Xihuahou Mansion acts above board, worthy of heaven and earth, why be afraid! ”

"Hahahaha, Master Hou, you are really naïve!" Zhang Bao's laughter was tinged with a hint of mockery.

Shi Min was a little impatient when he heard this, and said, "Lord Zhang, you have your idea for your wording!" ”

Zhang Bao glanced at Shi Min, and then said to Shi Zhan: "It seems that Hou Ye is really like Han Xin, he is a genius in the art of war and strategy, but he is an out-and-out fool in terms of political means!" ”

"You're so daring!" When Shi Min heard such rude words, he pulled out his knife and put it on Zhang Bao's neck.

Outside, Zhang Bao's entourage saw that his master was being held hostage, and immediately wanted to rush up, but Zhang Bao calmly ordered: "All retreat and go outside to stay!" ”

The people looked at each other, and when they saw Zhang Bao so calm, they slowly retreated.

Zhang Bao looked at the knife in Shi Min's hand and asked with a smile: "Childe, the knife is a good knife, but don't you plan to let Zai finish the sentence?" ”

"Xiao Min, step down!" Shi Zhan raised his hand and commanded.

Shi Min looked at Zhang Bao with some anger, neatly put the knife back into its sheath, and retreated to Shi Zhan's side.

Zhang Bao touched his neck, smiled slightly, looked at Shi Zhan, and asked, "Master Hou, do you know what Han Xin said before he died?" ”

Shi Zhan and Shi Min didn't answer, they just looked at him with a serious face.

"I regret that I didn't listen to Kui Che's words at the beginning, so it's so difficult!" Zhang Bao said, looked at the father and son, and asked, "I wonder if you have ever heard this sentence?" ”

"Ben Hou is not Han Xin, and you are not Kuaiche, Lord Zhang, such far-fetched words, you don't have to think about convincing Ben Hou!"

"Really? Hou Ye is not afraid of life and death, the lives of more than 30 people in the Xihua Hou Mansion, and the net worth of tens of thousands of soldiers in Handan City, Hou Ye has to pull them together to make a cushion? In vain for your lifetime, such a superficial truth, I still can't understand it? ”

"Ben Hou has made great contributions to Zhao Guoguo, even if King Qing succeeds to the throne in the future, what can he do to me?"

"There is a way that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers can't not die! What's more, King Qing has always regarded Xihuahou Mansion as a thorn in his side. Han Xin once thought so, just because Liu Bang had promised him not to kill when he saw the sky, not to kill when he saw the ground, not to kill when he saw the light, and not to kill when he saw the sword, so he thought that he would be fine, and he still died at the hands of the woman. I'm afraid that when King Qing succeeds to the throne, even if the current saint leaves a life-saving decree for Hou Ye, he will not be able to save the Xihua Hou Mansion at that time, and Hou Ye will really become Han Xin's second, and King Qing is that Lu Pheasant! Hahahaha. ”

"In your opinion, the tens of thousands of soldiers in my Xihua Marquis Mansion and Handan City should fight for their lives, is it right or not that King Fuyan is on the throne?"

"Could it be that Hou Ye thinks there are other better strategies? His Royal Highness King Yan is now on death row and is in dire straits, if the Hou Ye makes a move at this time, he will be the first-class hero in the future. Why worry about glory and wealth? Why can't you go down in history? You can also expand your territory and make contributions! Why not? ”

"Lord Zhang's plan for Ben Hou is very good! It seems that our father and son can't do it if they are not moved! Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min with a smile.

Zhang Bao naturally didn't think that Shi Zhan would agree, so he asked, "What does Master Hou think?" ”

"Since Lord Zhang thinks about the problem so comprehensively, then Ben Hou still has some doubts, I don't know if my lord can solve it?" Shi Zhan asked.

Zhang Bao frowned slightly and said, "Master Hou, please speak." ”

"If you want to seize the throne by force, it is not without the certainty of success......"

"With the strategy of the Hou Ye and the elite soldiers under his command, it will definitely ......"

"Ben Hou hasn't finished talking yet!" Shi Zhan ruthlessly interrupted Zhang Bao's words, which made Zhang Bao's face a little embarrassed.

"Master Hou, please speak!" Zhang Bao took a breath, and his face sank.

"Once Zhao has a civil war, Xianbei and the Xiongnu will definitely take the opportunity to enter the customs, and the people of Zhao will be ravaged by iron hooves! Who will bear this sin? Is it His Royal Highness King Yan, or my Xihua Marquis Mansion, or you Lord Zhang? ”

"I ......"

"And! Your Majesty treats my father and son well, and it can be said that he is as kind as a mountain! If Ben Hou rebels, he will be ridiculed and scolded by the people of the world, and then the infamy of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice will be added to our father and son, who will we talk to? You, Lord Zhang, have earned the reputation of a loyal minister from His Royal Highness King Yan, what about us? What do you get? ”

"If that's the case, how can His Royal Highness King Yan treat the Hou Ye and the prince lightly?"

"The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, Lord Zhang must understand, right? Ben Hou can rebel against His Majesty today, and when His Royal Highness King Yan ascends to the throne, he will not be afraid of the Xihua Marquis Mansion with elite soldiers? Hehe, I'm afraid it will happen like unloading the mill and killing the donkey, right? Rather than this? Why did Benhou gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of brothers? ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan regards the Marquis as a sibling, how can he treat the Xihua Marquis Mansion with great merit like this? Hou Ye is too worried! ”

Shi Zhan sneered: "Lord Zhang, maybe you are right, Ben Hou is a paranoid person, and he does not have the foresight and wisdom of Lord Zhang!" But the four words of the master of high merit, Ben Hou still knows! The Tao is different, not the same! Leave! ”
