Chu Huan thought about Linlang, he hadn't seen him for a while, but a sense of longing rose in his heart, he groaned slightly, and finally asked, "What does Mr. mean by the last harvest?" ”

"Actually, the adults have already taken this step." Du Fu said fairly: "It is not only the gentry of Xiguan who are excluded and suppressed in Xiguan, but also the local officials in Xiguan. This is headed by Gongsun Chu...... This time, in addition to the intention of demonstrating to adults, he was actually demonstrating to the officials of Xiguan! ”

Chu Huan frowned, and Du Fugong continued: "Now the situation in Xiguan, the important positions in the state capital are very short, and seven or eight out of ten are occupied by the people of the Zhu Party. Now that the Zhu Party is powerful, but the power of local officials in Xiguan still exists, beheading Gongsun Chu in public is actually to give those officials a warning and let them understand that there is no good end to being an enemy of the Zhu Party. ”

Chu Huan understood and asked, "What does Mr. mean is that this last heart is to collect the hearts of Gongsun Chu, a group of Xiguan officials?" ”

"The enemy of your enemy is your friend." Du Fu said fairly: "Your Excellency is now sitting in this position, Zhu Dang is your opponent, there is no doubt about this, and Zhu Dang wantonly squeezed out the officials of Xiguan, the two sides are like fire and water, the officials of Xiguan and the adults have common opponents, so the adults and the officials of Xiguan naturally have common interests, so if the adults can take over this group of people, it will naturally be of great benefit to the adults." ”

Chu Huan said thoughtfully: "Actually, I don't know that to deal with Zhu Lingyue's henchmen, I can't be their opponent at all with my own strength...... If the officials in Xiguan are really used by me, I will naturally not be able to ask for them, but ...... And why would they listen to me? Zhu Dang is an alien force, but in the eyes of Xiguan officials, I also belong to the ...... outsiders! ”

"So adults should try to make them think of you as one of their own as much as possible." Du Fu said fairly: "The lord saved Gongsun Chu and others this time, he is already close to them, the local officials in Xiguan have always been regarded as leaderless, and now the lord has saved Gongsun Chu, Gongsun Chu should be a well-deserved leader among the local officials, and now his charges are cleared, and the officials of Xiguan will regard him as a leader, if the adults can make good use of Gongsun Chu, and then reuse and promote the local officials in Xiguan, they should be able to lean towards the adults." ”

Chu Huan said: "Actually, I don't want them to bow down to their orders, I just want to work together to change the chaotic situation in Xiguan." ”

Du Fugong shook his head and said: "My lord's words are wrong, the so-called concerted efforts, in the final analysis, we still have to order up and down, and adults must have absolute authority." If you want to gain a foothold in the Northwest and change the current situation, there are three things that are indispensable......! ”

"Three things?"

Du Fugong's expression was solemn, and he said word by word: "Knife, pen, money!" ”

Chu Huan repeated in a low voice, and then said with a wry smile: "Except for the pen of Mr., I seem to ...... Two things are missing! ”

"It's not just two things." Du Fugong said solemnly: "The power of Du is not a big deal, the so-called nose is the hearts of the people, the prestige, and a group of staff who have done their best for the adults...... The adult only has two hundred guards, which is not a knife, but ...... money! Du Fugong shook his head and sighed: "Let me ask my lord, how much money and food can adults mobilize?" ”

Chu Huan leaned back in his chair, was silent for a moment, seemed to understand something, and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, Mr. has benefited a lot from every word, ......!" He sat up straight and said, "As the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe, sir, since you have come here, let's stay well, get the knife, get the pen, get the money!" ”

Chu Huanxin was extremely grateful to Du Fugong at this time, he came to Xiguan, in fact, he crossed the river by feeling the stones, and the road ahead was confused, he knew that it would not be easy to gain a foothold in Xiguan, but it was just a feeling, and the understanding of the situation was not very clear, but Du Fugong's words today made Chu Huan suddenly understand his own disadvantages and advantages, and the road ahead seemed to become clearer, at least he understood what he needed to do next.

Du Fugong stayed in the study to moisten Chu Huan, Chu Huan was still thinking about Su Niang in his heart, and when he got out of the study, he found that it was already midnight, and before he knew it, he was talking to Du Fugong in the study for a long time.

A gust of wind blew, Chu Huan only felt refreshed, glanced back at the study, the lonely lamp flickered, but his heart was emotional, he only brought Du Fugong home for the peacock opening picture, but he never thought that this Du Fugong was brilliant and intelligent, and he could be called his own behind-the-scenes think tank, at this time, this kind of person is indeed indispensable around him.

With his hands on his back, he walked on the path, thinking in his heart that the first thing he had to deal with next was the plague, but tomorrow he would gather the officials together to discuss how to organize and resist the plague.

Walking outside the gate of Su Niang Courtyard and bumping into a person head-on, Chu Huan reacted quickly, flashed to the side, and saw clearly that it was Sun Boliu, Sun Boliu was also startled, saw Huan clearly, and said busily: "My lord!" ”

Chu Huan knew that Sun Boliu was for Su Niang's diagnosis and treatment, although Su Niang's condition had already improved greatly, and the swelling of her body had already dissipated, but Chu Huan still asked Sun Boliu to diagnose Su Niang every day, last time when she was separated from Pei Ji in Beiyuan County, Pei Ji asked Chu Huan to bring back some medicines, and let Su Niang insist on taking them, those drugs can not only completely remove the epidemic poison in Su Niang's body, but also replenish qi and clear blood.

"How's Madame doing?" Chu Huan asked gently.

Sun Boliu immediately said: "Madame has fully recovered, her pulse is stable, there is no hindrance, and her qi and blood are unimpeded...... Don't worry, adults. Last time, there was still some of those medicinal herbs left, although it was said to replenish qi and clear blood, but it was only a three-point poison, if the body was healthy, there was no need to take it again, I was going to let my wife take it for two more days, so I didn't take it again. ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Mr. Sun is proficient in pharmacology, so he will do what you want...... Has Madame fallen asleep? ”

"Just went to bed." Sun Boliu said: "By the way, do you know that Lin Gongzi's body also seems to be in trouble?" ”

"Young Master Lin?" Chu Huan was stunned, and reacted instantly, Lin Gongzi naturally pointed to Lin Dai'er, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Lin Gongzi?" ”

"I heard that I am feeling a little unwell." Sun Boliu said: "The villain heard that from yesterday when he entered the city to today, the food sent to Lin Gongzi was sent out intact, and he didn't eat anything for a whole day, and in the afternoon, the two foreign girls came to find the villain, and asked the villain to show Lin Gongzi, the villain went over there, but Lin Gongzi closed the door and didn't let him ...... the door!" Sun Boliu showed a puzzled and embarrassed expression on his face, "That Lin Gongzi's personality is a little weird, his health is sick, it's okay to take a look, there are some diseases, there is no doubt that it will be delayed for a long time, and it is ......!" After a pause, he said worriedly: "My lord also knows that now that the plague is spreading in Xiguan, Lin Gongzi's situation is not right, and it is not that the villain suspects that he is infected with the plague, but if he is really infected with the plague, the sooner he knows, the better...... ”

Chu Huan's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that since he left the capital, in order to avoid suspicion, he had taken too little care of Lin Dai'er, thinking that he had been trapped in Yan Pingshan, or Lin Dai'er found out the flaw and asked Xuanyuan Sheng to save him, and he didn't say a word of gratitude to Lin Dai'er later, his heart suddenly became a little uneasy.

It's not that he doesn't want to be alone with Lin Dai'er, but along the way, there are not many opportunities to be alone, Lin Dai'er sits on the carriage, which can be regarded as a closed car, Chu Huan can't always get into the carriage to stay with Lin Dai'er, in full view of everyone, always pay attention, not to mention that the pair of sisters seem to be very close to Lin Dai'er, and often go to talk, that's the case, Lin Dai'er even refused the pair of sisters to get on the car to talk, in this case, Chu Huan is even more difficult to approach, plus there are indeed many affairs, after entering the city, Chu Huan hadn't even seen Lin Dai'er's face yet, and at this time, when he heard Sun Boliu mention Lin Dai'er, he even suspected that Lin Dai'er might be infected with the plague, which made Chu Huan surprised and a little self-blamed, so without saying a word, he turned around and left, saying, "You come with me!" "Go straight to Lin Dai'er's yard.

When Lin Daier chose a place to live, she specially chose a quiet courtyard in the corner of the mansion, the area of the Governor's Mansion is not small, Chu Huan turned left and right for a long time, and finally came to this courtyard, seeing that it was very deserted in all directions, there were not many people living here in the house, Lin Daier obviously also deliberately chose here, it was cold and lonely, Chu Huan stood outside the courtyard door, silent for a moment, and finally stepped forward, through the crack in the door, and looked inside, but saw the fire reflected in the window paper of the room inside, knowing that Lin Daier had not slept yet, Raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was no reaction in the house, Chu Huan frowned slightly, and finally said loudly: "Open the door, it's me!" ”

There was still no movement in the house, Sun Boliu was a little surprised beside him, what kind of identity Chu Huan was, it was a governor of the territory, that Lin Gongzi heard Chu Huan's call, but he turned a deaf ear, which made Sun Boliu can't guess the identity of Lin Gongzi, who has such guts, even ignoring the call of the governor.

Chu Huan didn't have the slightest movement in his heart, but he was worried in his heart, glanced at Sun Boliu, and saw that Sun Boliu was looking at him with a strange look, in fact, he also understood that Sun Boliu would have this kind of look in his retrospective, and said seriously: "Mr. Sun, it may be that he is asleep, you wait outside first, and I will go in and take a look!" "Walked to the edge of the courtyard wall, took a deep breath, jumped suddenly, the bounce was amazing, when it rose, a hand had been placed on the courtyard wall, and as soon as the arm was forced, the whole person had flipped over the wall, and then jumped into the courtyard from the wall.

Sun Boliu opened his mouth, dumbfounded, Chu Huan's light martial arts certainly surprised Sun Boliu, and what surprised Sun Boliu even more, but it was the dignified governor who couldn't call the door in his own mansion, and he had to climb over the wall to enter the hospital, which is probably also a strange talk in the world.
