Chapter 39: Turning Around (Part II)
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Turning Around (Part II)
"Yue Kuo Cha'er used to be very close to Queen Qi's people some time ago!" Seeing the obvious hesitation on Chef Lu's face, Shopkeeper Tang thought about it and reminded cautiously.
The Northern Expedition is imminent, and seeing that the friends who joined the army together in the past are going to make a lot of contributions, their positions are swaying like a tornado. And he had to squat patiently in the capital to spend time, listening to the bad words of others arranging the Great Governor's Mansion all day long but couldn't refute it, he didn't know how irritable he was. I really can't do something earth-shattering right away to prove that I haven't wasted my time.
Chef Loman, on the other hand, is much more cautious than him, and he is more suitable for a professional work. frowned, and responded in a low voice: "I know, but that doesn't mean he will fall to us easily." He, hum, he once got rid of it with the two brothers Hama and Xuexue! A few months ago, when Hama lost power, he still didn't forget to turn his head and step on it! ”
These words were too concise and powerful, which made the heat in Tang's shopkeeper's heart immediately cool down by more than half. Yue Kuocha'er is a person, it is said that the Huai'an Army has dealt with him a lot. Thinking that he was on the edge of the Yellow River back then, he almost captured this man alive. It was only Lu Lu who proposed to keep this person to tear off his hind legs, so everyone deliberately opened the net and let him escape from Shengtian.
Subsequently, the Huai'an army confronted Totoku several times, Xuexue and the Huai'an army cooperated to dig a pit for Toto, and Yuekuo Chaer basically participated. Even Huaiyang's wool business with the northern parts of the country and several other lucrative business dealings, this man took a large share of it. But no one dares to guarantee the credibility of this person. Because this man is the most pure and direct villain, as long as it is good for himself, he never cares about betraying any of his friends.
Including the father-son dispute between Tuhuan Timur and Aiyu Zhilidara some time ago, according to the prejudgment of everyone, since there are many entanglements of interests between Yuekuochaer and the Goryeo people under the command of Empress Qi, and he gets along well with the prince, as a prominent figure in the forbidden army, he should not hesitate to fall to the side of the crown prince and queen. However, the truth was beyond anyone's expectations, this person did not hesitate to lead the forbidden army to Tuhuan Timur, and gave the Crown Prince and Empress Qi Alliance a blow to the head! Immediately, he took over all the businesses and shops left by the Koreans in the capital, and made a lot of money.
Therefore, judging from Yuekuochaer's past style of doing things, it is difficult to say that his current gesture of goodwill to the Military Intelligence Service does not harbor any evil intentions. Unless, in the early days of the Northern Expedition, the Huai'an Army was able to win countless battles one after another, otherwise, in case the First Army encountered any setbacks, or the temporary advance was slow, this person would have to repeat his old tricks and sell most of the military intelligence offices to the Mengyuan Imperial Court!
"Humble, humble, reckless! Please, please sir? After blushing and groaning for a long time, the shopkeeper Tang finally pleaded guilty with difficulty.
"It's not your fault, it's just as hard to choose if you change me!" Lu Wen smiled and waved his hand generously. In his heart, he is also very hesitant now. Not only was he reluctant to plot against the miraculous exploits of a country's captain, but he was also afraid that because of his own greed for merit, most of the capital intelligence stations that the Military Intelligence Department had painstakingly established would be destroyed.
"What else?" Seeing that his boss took such good care, Shopkeeper Tang gritted his teeth and proposed in a low voice, "Let your subordinates pretend to be your identity to see him, anyway, he doesn't know who is in charge of Dadu." Anyway, the life of his subordinates was also fished out of the flood by the chief manager, even if he died in the hands of Yue Kuocha'er, he finally found out his true intentions! ”
"When he wants to see me, it's definitely not just to get acquainted, and then there will be a series of related actions. You can't say yes on the spot, and you won't have time to ask me for advice later! Lu Wen smiled and continued to shake his head slightly. This person is very difficult to deal with, he only has interests in his eyes, and he never pays attention to the bottom line of doing things. If we find out that we are perfunctory and hold him over there, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky! ”
Thinking that there were still important people on his side who were caught in the hands of the other party, his mood sank again, he gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "You first send a letter to the owner of Huanzhu Mansion, and ask him to make an appointment with Yue Kuocha'er, three days, no, five days later, find a restaurant on the Tonghui River to enjoy the ice lanterns." The place and time are determined by the other party, and Lu will go to the appointment by himself at that time! ”
"This, Chief Road, you ——?" Shopkeeper Tang didn't expect that Lu Wen would rather go to the meeting alone in order to rescue the owner of Huanzhu Mansion when he knew that there was danger, but he was slightly stunned, and immediately, there was a warm feeling, which surged from his heart to the bottom of his eyes.
"It's okay, we have to stabilize him first. Create a chance for the owner of the pearl house to get out safely. There were five days, which was enough time for most of the brothers to prepare accordingly. Guessing what the other party would say, Lu Wen patted him on the shoulder and interrupted with a smile. You're right, everyone's lives were fished out of the water by the lord. If you can live for a few more years, and you can learn with your own ears that your enemies are ruined and ruined, what is there to regret in this life?! If you give up your life, you can make a few fewer brothers die during the Northern Expedition, why should Lu regret this? Let's do it this way, our Huai'an Army, it has always been the rule that the brothers follow the chief, and there is no chief to hide behind and let the brothers go to the road for him! ”
After all, I won't be verbose. Turned around and strode away. The fat and fat body was instantly stretched upright by the sun!
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Tang raised his hand and saluted solemnly at the back of Chef Lu Wen. The heart that was originally a little unconvinced was full of genuine respect at this moment.
No one is allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices. When I charged, it was the brothers who followed me, not the brothers. When Zhu Chongjiu founded the Huai'an Army, he did not think about the specific value of these principles at all. I just happened to have it in my memory, so I borrowed it from my hand. However, a few years later, these principles constituted the soul of the entire Huai'an Army, and even the Huaiyang system. This force stands out to any other force of the same era.
In line with this rule, the first thing Chef Lu Wen did after leaving the tavern was to arrange the retreat of the entire Dadu Station. After making an appointment with Yue Kuocha'er for five days, it is not only to leave enough time for the two sides to formally meet, but also to let the other party not make too many moves within five days, and then give the entire Dadu Station time to adjust, so as not to fall into destruction because of a sudden blow.
When the days are busy, it is like a white horse. Five days later, in the evening, Chef Lu Wen led an old horse, with a complete set of barbecue utensils, and slowly walked to a drunken fairy building on the Tonghui River that had been hung with fixed lanterns in advance.
Although the father and son of Tuhuan Timur and Aiyu Zhilidara killed each other, this year's wax moon has become somewhat cold. But there are houses in the capital that are Zhong Ming Ding Food. No matter what time these people are, they can't forget the pomp and circumstance of wealth and wealth. Therefore, the end of the Tonghui River is close to the imperial city, and every restaurant is full of friends. On the surface of the river, which was frozen as smooth as a mirror, hundreds of pavilions carved from ice cubes were erected early, and under the reflection of candlelight, the light and shadow swayed, intrigue, and did not look like the world.
It is also a common move for large families to borrow a restaurant to feast on the ice, and they make a special trip to invite a smart chef to take charge of the cooking. Therefore, no one thinks that there is anything strange about a fat cook and an old horse walking between Qionglou and Yuyu. There are no troublesome errands, and they dare to come forward and ask Chef Lu if he is qualified to carry so many knives.
There is a way, the prime minister's concierge four officials. Everything is scarce in the capital, but there is no shortage of officials. People who can eat themselves so fat and walk so calmly are indispensable to the royal spoon of which prince. It's okay to provoke him, which is equivalent to slapping the prince in the face. Even if the prince doesn't open his mouth to investigate, that daredevil will quickly disappear from the world. It will not be until the next year, when the ice and snow are gone, that it will become an unclaimed skeleton in the Yongding River and beyond. No more trouble for your bosses!
So in the last part of the road, Chef Lu Wen walked very calmly. He even took a closer look at dozens of ice lanterns and was amazed by the ingenious shapes. It's as if I've never noticed the beauty of this thing in the whole winter that is about to pass. It seems that before going away, the last time I miss the prosperity on the Tonghui River.
Dayuan Taiwei Yue Kuocha'er, in the window on the second floor of the Zuixian Building, saw the behavior of the visitors without losing a penny. He not only invited Boyan to accompany him today, but also brought four confidant generals from the forbidden army, all of whom were first-class good skills and experienced in hand-to-hand combat. In addition, in other private rooms on the second floor of the Zuixian Building and the loose table on the first floor, he also arranged more than 70 family members in casual clothes in advance. I was going to fight back immediately in case the other party made trouble at the wine table. Who expected to wait and wait, but only waited for Chef Lu Wen to be alone.
Compared with the two, which side has more confidence is not asked. Looking at it, Yue Kuocha'er felt that her face was hot. However, he does not regret that he prepared too complicated. He was one of the three princes of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and his status was extremely noble. And the other party is just a grass people, although he rebelled and followed the right person, and the final official position was no higher than the fifth grade. The two sides are not on the same level in the first place, and they naturally do not consider their own security in the same way.
"This is the leader of the spies that Zhu Butcher planted under the emperor's nose? Sure enough, you are bold enough! ”
"It is worthy of being the minions of the Zhu butcher, and he dares to come to the appointment with a few kitchen knives! No wonder the thief has won every battle in the past two years! Even a spy can have such courage, so wouldn't Xu Da and Hu Dahai be even more bulls? ! ”
"What a man, what a deserved"
Unlike Yue Kuocha'er, his henchmen and generals did not think too much about the difference in identity between "jade and stone". Seeing the other party coming alone, he couldn't help but whisper in admiration.
"What are you yelling about? How many people don't know about it? Or do you think the old man has been getting it for too long?! Listening to the low voices of discussion around her, Yue Kuocha'er suddenly became upset and irritable. Turning his head and glaring at a few henchmen, he said viciously, "Go down two people, bring him here!" Don't just stand stupidly and ramble, wait for a while to have kung fu, let you pay tribute to him in person! ”
