Chapter 80: Conspiracy and Counter-Conspiracy (2)
After the guy went, the strong man didn't mean to communicate with others, so he stood upright and straight in the lobby, although he didn't say anything, but it gave a group of shop guys an indescribable sense of depression, and the original laughing voice disappeared unconsciously, and the hall was full of dead silence.
"This guest officer, please inside."
The guy who went to report the news went quickly and came back quickly, and after a while, he was already trotting out of the back hall, holding the jade pendant in both hands, and respectfully handed it to the strong man, with a hint of flattery with a smiling face.
"I'm tired."
The strong man took the jade pendant very carefully, cautiously put it into his arms, and then hugged his fist, thanked him very politely, followed behind the guy, and slowly walked into the back hall, all the way through the hall and alley, to the deepest part of the "Qilin Firm".
"Guest, please!"
When he got the door of a side room, the man cautiously stopped, did not push the door in, just bowed down and waved his hand, and let the strong man into the room.
"The last general, Geng Sanbiao, knock to see the prince, knock to see the little prince!"
The strong man was obviously a little anxious at this time, and did not pay attention to the courtesy of the guy, only nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand, pushed open the hidden door, and walked into the room, and saw Hongqing standing beside a young man in white, the strong man's body couldn't help but be shocked, obviously hesitated, but quickly reacted, but saw that he hurriedly rushed to the front, hurriedly unloaded the hat, put it beside him, and then respectfully bowed to worship.
"Have you seen this king?"
The third master came secretly this time, specifically to investigate Geng Sanbiao and his person, and he was strictly ordered not to disclose the news in advance, but he just asked Hongqing to send someone to summon Geng Sanbiao to the "Qilin Firm" to meet, but he didn't expect Geng Sanbiao to recognize his identity as soon as he came, which really made the third master quite curious.
"If you go back to the prince, the last general will never see the prince in person."
Geng Sanbiao kowtowed respectfully and replied in a proper manner.
"Oh? Tell me, how did you know the king was here? ”
When the third master was in Beijing, he was ordered to go to the Yamen to run errands, showing a lot of faces, I thought that Geng Sanbiao recognized himself in this way, but I didn't expect Geng Sanbiao to answer like this, which really made the third master a little interested.
"Lord Wang, although the last general has never recognized the true face of the prince, it may make the little prince serve so respectfully, in this realm, besides the prince, who else is there?"
In front of the third master, Geng Sanbiao naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense at will, that is, he answered whatever he thought.
"Oh? Hahaha......, okay, Geng Qian is really a talent, get up and talk back. ”
At this time of employing people, of course, the third master has to keep a few more eyes, if Geng Sanbiao believes nonsense and is very purple, extravagant and other compliments, the third master must have beaten Geng Sanbiao to death with a stick, after all, the of those Jianghu warlocks sounds refreshing, but it is all nonsense, the third master has never believed in that, at this time, seeing that Geng Sanbiao answered truthfully, and his reasoning and logical ability were also good, he was very satisfied, and shouted with laughter.
"Thank you, Lord Longen!"
Geng Sanbiao naturally didn't know that the answer he just gave was the biggest success in his life, although he doubted the purpose of the third master's coming here, he didn't dare to ask more, so he just thanked him cleanly, stood with his hands down, and made a group of respectful instructions.
"Geng Qian has been here for less than 20 days, can he be under the rule?"
The third master was obviously very satisfied with Geng Sanbiao's performance, and he didn't be polite, nor did he say anything more to investigate, and cut to the chase straightforwardly.
"Back to the words of the prince, although the last general has been in office for a short time, the royal majesty can still provide guidance, the whole camp is full of one thousand and thirty people, and among the total ten people, except for two doubts, the rest can act according to the orders of the last general, but where the prince has an order, the last general should swear to die!"
Speaking of His Majesty, Geng Sanbiao obviously has enough self-confidence, not for anything else, just because before he came to office, Hongqing specially allocated three thousand taels of silver, which was to let Geng Sanbiao buy the hearts of the army, just because he was full of confidence in his pocket, Geng Sanbiao spent money without scruples, in just a few days, he had won over most of his subordinates, and even the officers and soldiers under him did not get some cheap from Geng Sanbiao, so that it would be difficult for these well-fed and well-fed Qiu Ba to do the rebellion. But if they were asked to listen to the order to do an errand for the third master, Geng Sanbiao still had enough confidence, and he was extraordinarily resolute when he answered.
"Okay, Geng Qian can always have this confidence, and this king will rest assured, I invite Geng Qian to come today, there is really something that needs Geng Qian's strong cooperation, I don't know if Geng Qian is willing to do it?"
Although the third master was very satisfied with Geng Sanbiao's performance, he did not give an order directly, after all, Geng Sanbiao was not his third master's person, but Hongqing's subordinate, even if Hongqing was his third master's son, but after all, it was separated by a layer, and the politeness that should be there should be should be paid attention to.
"The prince has an order, and the last general should be the force of death, and please ask the prince to stop the training!"
For the third master's politeness, Geng Sanbiao did not have the slightest ambiguity, and the answer was crisp and neat, but before answering, Geng Sanbiao glanced at Hongqing quickly, and only after getting Hongqing's slight bow signal, did he express his attitude impassionedly.
"Well, that's good, Zicheng, you and tell Geng Qian of the action plan, and I'll wait for the livelihood to be discussed, so as to make sure that everything is foolproof."
Seeing that Geng Sanbiao responded so decisively, the third master was very satisfied, so he didn't talk any more nonsense, waved his hand, motioned to Li Minquan, who was standing beside him, to come out of the ranks, and explained the action plan in detail, and then everyone grinded around the plan carefully......
"Is there anything on Qing'er's mind?"
If you want to do great things, you must be cautious, not to mention that this is still in someone else's home field, such a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, even if there is a holy will, but it should not be neglected, but if you are not careful, it will be the disaster of the nest, just like that, discuss and discuss, a discussion down, the time will inevitably drag on for a long time, and after it is agreed, the sky is already dark, the third master and father and son did not dare to delay more, while the city gate was not closed, they rushed out of the city in an unmarked carriage, until this time, The third master, who was extremely excited, found that Hongqing was not only silent and silent during the previous discussion, but also had a solemn look on his face at this time, and his curiosity couldn't help but rise, so he frowned slightly, and asked a question.
"Back to his father's words, the child is just a little worried about tomorrow morning's actions."
In the past few days, an ominous premonition has always been hovering in Hongqing's heart, but under repeated deductions, he can't find the root of the problem, and this is the reason why Hongqing can't be relieved, but this kind of mind is not enough for outsiders, so in the face of his father's inquiry, Hongqing can only deal with it vaguely.
"Well, being careful can make the ship of ten thousand years, Ming'er's war is related to the overall situation, and there is no room for mistakes, however, caution is necessary, but those who want to do great things, looking forward and looking backward are unacceptable, this one, Qing'er must keep it in mind."
The third master himself is full of confidence in tomorrow's actions, and he is also quite looking forward to it, so this is the first time that the third master is in charge of the overall situation, and he doesn't want to have any mistakes.
Looking ahead? That's how you've always behaved, right? Why did you put it on our heads, don't you feel panicked with a fever on your face?
As soon as he heard the third master make such a comment to himself, Hongqing was really a little crying and laughing, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only despise his father fiercely in his heart, but he replied respectfully: "Father taught me a lesson, and the child remembers." ”
"Well, just remember, Huang Ama is waiting in Beijing, I will wait for tomorrow's battle, only success, not failure!"
Thinking of the big waves that tomorrow's action will set off, the third master couldn't help but feel agitated for a while, and his hands clenched unconsciously, as if teaching Hongqing a lesson, and as if he was cheering for him to express his determination to act.
"Father is wise."
The third master is confident, that is a good thing, Hongqing can't say anything discouraged at this time, so he can only praise and perfunctory, but his brain is running at high speed.
There should be no problem, even if the enemy is outnumbered, but by surprise, attack it unprepared, there should be no mistakes, as long as the granary can be controlled in hand, let the other party can, there should be no possibility of turning the tables, unless they really dare to pull the flag to rebel, and this, is obviously asking for a dead end, although the tenth master is reckless, but he is not a fool, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing, besides, even if he dares, others may not be willing to follow him to the dead end, this one should not be suspicious, but where will the problem be?
Hongqing ignored the chatter behind the third master, carefully went through the action plan again, and analyzed the other party's possible countermeasures, but he didn't find where the lingering shadow in his heart came from, and his head couldn't help but hurt a little.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, something happened!"
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
Just when Hongqing was irritable, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, which made Hongqing wake up excitedly, but before Hongqing could understand what was going on, the third master had suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head out.
"What's the fuss, huh?"
The third master has always been a person who pays attention to the rules, and when he heard the noise outside, his face was very ugly, and the tone of the question was full of chills.
"Lord Wang, there is a fire rising in the direction of the Hecao Yamen, and it is suspected that the water has gone."
As soon as they heard the third master's question, everyone didn't dare to make any more noise, and everyone quieted down, and Heda came forward to report the matter.
"What?"
As soon as he heard this, the third master couldn't help but be surprised, and he didn't care about reprimanding everyone anymore, he quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Hecao Yamen......
