Ren is what kind of rhetoric Lu Fatzi has, what kind of tongue is lotus, what kind of sweet words are like springs, but it's a pity that Kong Sizhen, who has long had enough of Lu Fatzi's suffering, is saying that he won't be fooled - just kidding, Lu Fatzi is known as the three good, but what he actually does, that one is not a lack of virtue and black smoke from the ancestral tomb? Didn't that one sell someone and ask someone to count the money for him? Kong Sizhen, who was the first to be alerted to this in the Qing court, still dares to be fooled casually?

Fortunately, our Lu Yifeng Lu Fat Man Lu Sanhao has always been reasonable and kind, seeing that Kong Sizhen has always refused to accept his love, let alone believe his true feelings from the bottom of his heart, he has neither excited questioning and questioning, nor has he been angry and angry, but he is depressed and sad and never says a word. Kong Sizhen also stopped talking, but peeked at Fat Lu's fat face, which was definitely not ugly, from time to time, thoughtfully.

In such a stalemate, the green hat king Sun Yanling also returned to the living room, and really brought Lu Fatzi the best wine and food that he could get in Wuchang City, and invited Lu Fatzi to eat, but he ignored Kong Sizhen, and finally Lu Fatzi opened his mouth to invite, and Kong Sizhen reluctantly sat at the table. But when it came to the banquet, Sun Yanling always ignored Kong Sizhen, as if there was no such person at all - but to put it in good conscience, with Kong Sizhen's actions, Sun Yanling was reasonable to her, and it was not excessive.

"The relationship between husband and wife has come to this point, what else is the point? It's better to disperse early, it's a relief for both parties,"

Observing the indifferent relationship between Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen like a passerby, Lu Fatzi is not only quite sympathetic, but also feels helpless for Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen, their marriage is completely a typical political marriage, Sun Yanling, who is relatively low-born and ambitious, must rely on Kong Sizhen's special identity, Kong Sizhen was born in a family of mites and nobles, and his own ability is far superior to Sun Yanling, but as a woman, he cannot officially lead the army or hold important positions, It is also necessary to continue the bloodline of Dingnan Wangfu and control the old department of Dingnan Wangfu through Sun Yanling. Both parties want to leave each other, and neither can leave each other, so married life can only be described as torment.

"Wait, why don't I make a fuss about that?" Thinking of this, Fat Lu suddenly felt a move in his heart, and another idea of lack of morality gradually came to mind. After thinking about it in a hurry, Fat Lu hurriedly opened his mouth and said solemnly: "Sigege, the lower official has a heartfelt word, I don't know if Sigege is willing to listen to it?" ”

Fat Lu suddenly spoke so seriously, Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen were inevitably the same, Sun Yanling hurriedly pricked up his ears, and Kong Sizhen replied softly: "Lord Lu, please give advice, and the slave family will listen to you." ”

"I don't dare to teach." Lu Fatzi was modest and said seriously: "Xiaguan just thinks that Sun Junmen and Sigege are your husband and wife, the military gate is in the southwest, and Gege is in the capital, and the two places are thousands of miles apart, not only is it difficult to get along day and night, but it is even difficult to see each other." And Sun Junmen and Sigege's age is not young, and it is time to have a child, if this continues, how can the bloodline of the Sun family of Junmen and the bloodline of Gege's Dingnan Wangfu continue? ”

"Therefore, if you are humble and courageous, you want to ask Sigege to stay, first, to get along with Sun Junmen day and night, and secondly, to take the opportunity to have a child, so as not to cut off Sun Kong's bloodline, wouldn't it be wonderful?" Fat Lu asked with a sincere expression.

Sun Yanling's heart, which was already like a dead ash, gradually rekindled a glimmer of hope, and secretly looked at Kong Sizhen to reply out of the corner of his eye. And Kong Sizhen was flustered at first, saying that he didn't expect that Lu Fatzi would turn around to surrender himself, and then his heart moved, thinking that he could get along with Lu Fatzi day and night in the future, and see each other every day, his heart was inevitably a little hot, but after thinking about it, thinking of Wu Lao Han's indifference and hostility towards him, and thinking of being a ruthless, unrighteous and ambitious straw bag fool like Sun Yanling, Kong Sizhen's eyes flashed a glimmer of light and quickly dimmed again.

"Thank you, for your kindness." Kong Sizhen replied with a gloomy expression: "But the slave family is the emperor's errand, and he is a first-class guard in front of the emperor, shouldering the responsibility of guarding the safety of the palace, without the emperor's holy decree, the slave family really does not dare to stay without authorization." ”

"Bang!" Sun Yanling slapped his palm on the table, stood up with a blushing face, pointed to the door and shouted, "Then you get out now!" Shameless slut, you fuck me out now, never come back! ”

"Sun Junmen, Sun Junmen, please calm down, calm down ......." Fat Lu was anxious, and quickly got up to persuade him. Sun Yanling didn't listen, just slapped the table and yelled frantically: "Stinky bitch, get out!" Get out of here now! Love to go there and go there, never come back, Lao Tzu is a living widower for the rest of his life, and he never wants to see a stinky bitch like you! ”

If someone else insulted Kong Sizhen like this, then Kong Sizhen would definitely just hate that person to the bone, and there would be no emotional fluctuations. But in fact, her husband Sun Yanling scolded herself like this, but Kong Sizhen said that she couldn't control her feelings, she got up and covered her face with shame and anger, and cried and rushed away from the door, so that Lu Fatzi pulled no one, so she could only bow and bow to Sun Yanling, and apologized again and again, "Sun Junmen, it was the lower official who lost his words, and the lower official did not take into account Sigege's position, which made Sigege embarrassed, and also made the military sad, the lower official should die, the lower official made amends to the military gate, please forgive the military gate." ”

"Brother Lu, you don't need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong! You don't know what this slut is doing out there! My Sun Yanling Hero I, my prestige, is ruined in the hands of this shameless slut ......! ”

………………

Finally persuaded the angry Sun Yanling, Lu Fatzi hurriedly said goodbye and left, but Lu Fatzi did not take this opportunity to courtship Kong Sizhen again, but hurriedly returned to Wu Lao Han to ask to see Hu Guozhu, and then first kept his promise to let Hu Guozhu change a mansion for Sun Yanling, so as to establish an image of treating the generals well, and then truthfully reported his plans to Hu Guozhu. And after Hu Guozhu listened to Lu Fatzi's shameless tricks, he first scolded Lu Fatzi for being despicable and obscene, and then questioned whether Lu Fatzi's plan would work?

"Uncle, please rest assured, my nephew has already thought about it carefully, even if he is not ten percent sure, at least five or six percent of the hope." Lu Fatzi patted his chest and promised, and said in a low voice: "And the nephew thinks that with Kong Sizhen's cunning as a person, if it is really the Emperor Mangou who ordered her to kill our son, then for the sake of her own future, she will definitely leave a life talisman for herself and leave a way out, if this plan is successful, we will find out the truth of the murder of the son, and it is just around the corner!" ”

Hu Guozhu blinked his little eyes and carefully calculated, and after a long time, Hu Guozhu clapped and said, "It's worth a try!" Anyway, even if we fail, our Pingxi Royal Mansion will not have the slightest loss, but if we succeed in one fell swoop, the benefits will be endless! Lu Fatzi was overjoyed, and quickly discussed the details of the plan with Hu Guozhu carefully, and then went to find Wu Laohan, who had a good relationship with him, and pulled him into the secret room, and discussed and explained in the secret room............

After some intense preparations, in the evening, Hu Guozhu personally suggested to Wu Lao Han Jian, proposing to hold a military parade of the Wu army outside Wuchang at noon and noon the next day, inviting all the envoys of the Qing Dynasty to watch, and explaining that it could not only boost morale, but also have the effect of establishing authority, which could have a deterrent effect and force the Qing court to abide by its promise to pay money and grain. Wu Laohan was very moved when he heard this, and Lu Fatzi also pulled Wang Shirong to raise his hands in support, Wu Laohan immediately made a decision and decided to send 1,000 elite cavalry under Gao Dejie and 2,000 elite infantry under Wu Yingjing to jointly hold a military parade.

That night, Hu Guozhu sent an envoy to inform Wang Xu and others, and invited Wang Xu to lead the Mites Qing delegation to observe the military parade, Wang Xu and Xiong Cilu and others were not stupid, and immediately understood that Wu Laohan was planning to establish his authority and show off his force, forcing them to abide by the peace agreement and pay money and food, but they were suffering from being under the roof, so they had to force a smile to agree, and ordered everyone in the Mites Qing Mission to be present at noon the next day to observe, Kong Sizhen was naturally among them.

At noon the next day, all the Mites Qing delegation arrived at the military exercise ground in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang, and most of the important civil and military officials of the Pingxi Royal Mansion were also ordered to participate in the military parade, and overnight, the Wu army had set up a huge wooden platform on the exercise ground, the military flag fluttered on the wooden platform, the black character Pingxi Wang flag on a white background was in the middle, and the flags of the generals of the Wu army were all on both sides, and the three thousand Wu army horses and infantry under the stage were all in good spirits, standing solemnly like a mountain in the flying snowflakes, and they did not move at all. And when Wu Laohan sat down on the handsome platform, Wu Yingjing, who commanded the drill, waved the red flag, and the three thousand Wu soldiers in the audience immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison, "The prince is a thousand years old!" ”

Wu Laohan nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and shouted: "All the soldiers are flat." ”

Wu Yingjing waved the red flag again, and the three thousand soldiers of the Wu army shouted in unison, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" Then they stood up together, and the movements were unison, and it was spectacular.

When Wu Lao Han waved his hand again, the red flag in Wu Yingjing's hand waved for the third time, the Wu army's war drum sounded immediately, the horn sounded, and the Wu army's infantry cavalry participating in the drill was defended, with the red flag in Wu Yingjing's hand advancing and retreating into the formation, the infantry ran and changed formations, slashing and slashing, neat as one, and the momentum was like a mountain; The cavalry was like a wild squall, sometimes interspersed with sprints, sometimes rushing forward, sometimes branching out countless tentacles, encircling and outflanking. The snow and dust were rolling on the exercise ground, the military flags were flying like flying, the soldiers and horses were as vigorous as dragons, and the people of Wuchang who were watching the outside of the exercise ground were like thunder, and the applause was continuous.

Infantry cavalry drills such a thing, Wang Xu, Xiong Cixu, Zhou Peigong and Kong Sizhen and others as early as the capital, have long been tired of seeing, except for feeling that the spirit and morale of the Wu army is slightly better than the current Eight Banners army, they are not too surprised, the only thing that makes them interested and shocked is the Wu army's firearms drill, whether it is the Wu army's rocket fire, or Wu Jun's grenade throwing, it is enough to make Wang Xu and others stunned, secretly frightened. At the same time, in order to warn the Qing army, Hu Guozhu and Lu Fatzi also deliberately pulled a Qing army warship with a broken keel that had lost its repair value but was only painted brand-new, and practiced infantry attack ships on the spot, and when they saw the incendiary bottles of the Wu army instantly turned the warship into a fire ship, Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu and others turned their faces even paler, knowing that once the Wu army was equipped with a large number of such weapons, in the water battle, the various advantages of the Qing army's naval division would inevitably cease to exist!

Seeing the pale faces of Wang Xu, Xiong Cixu and others, Wu Laohan, who was a villain, was naturally very proud, and asked: "Wang Shangshu, Xiong Zhongtang, after watching this Wang Xiongshi's drill, do you have any feelings and evaluation?" ”

Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu and the others were silent together, and after a while, Wang Xu reluctantly replied: "The Western King Xiongshi is indeed worthy of its reputation, especially the firearms in the Western Wang's army, which is absolutely invincible in the world." Wu Laohan laughed when he heard it, and he was so complacent, Wang Xu asked curiously: "Xiaguan dares to ask the prince again, I heard that in the prince's army, there is a kind of giant ship that can fly into the sky, why don't you see the drill today?" ”

"That's called an airship, ...... today." Wu Laohan corrected the name by the way, and wanted to introduce that the north wind was too strong today, which was not suitable for the airship to be dispatched, but fortunately he woke up in time and closed his mouth, so as to avoid the weakness of the Wu army's airship from being exposed, but he pointed to Lu Fatzi next to him and said: "Ask your friend Yifeng, the airship was made by him for this king, why didn't he arrange a drill today, you ask him." ”

Wang Xu's curious gaze turned to Fat Lu, who naturally would not expose the weakness of his army's killer weapon, but replied with a smile: "Don't blame Brother Zi, you are an angel of Qincha, holding the holy decree as if the Holy One was coming in person, if the younger brother arranged an airship drill and flew to the head of Brother Zizhu, he was afraid of the crime of disrespect, so the younger brother did not arrange it." ”

Wang Xu was silent, shook his head for a while, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, otherwise, the foolish brother really wants to be cheeky and beg the virtuous brother to let the foolish brother also go to the sky." ”

"Brother Zishu doesn't have to regret it." Lu Fatzi smiled and said: "After the brother Zishu went to the court and asked the court to send the general's salary and grass to Wuchang on schedule, the younger brother invited the prince to send the airship to take the brother Zishu to the sky and enjoy the magnificent rivers and mountains of China." ”

Wang Xu was silent again, and only after a while did he ask Wu Lao Han in a pleading tone: "Lord Wang, when the military salary and food are paid, you can't think about it again, and give us a grace appropriately?" ”

"Yifeng has made it very clear, a gentleman is still worth a thousand gold, not to mention long live my emperor?" Wu Laohan replied with a smile: "As a minister, the old man naturally does not dare to trap the monarch in a land of unbelief and injustice, so the old man really does not dare to agree. ”

"What about the humble position in the name of the secretary of the military department and the minister of the Qin Mission, and make a plea to the prince?" Wang Xu pleaded unrelentingly: "Please look at the thin face of the lower officials, appropriately forgive some time, or appropriately reduce some down payments, and give the lower officials a little room to toss and turn, all the consequences, I don't know if the prince can agree." ”

"This ......." Wu Lao Hanjian hesitated a little, considering whether to give in slightly, give Wang Xu a little face, and ensure that the military salary, money and food can be received. Over there, Hu Guozhu stood up and arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law, Wang Tangguan, this is not a place to speak, and it is snowing and cold in the open air, and my father-in-law is old, so it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, why don't we discuss this matter in the father-in-law's line instead?" It's a bit grander. ”

Wang Xu looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and then at the gray-haired Wu Lao Han Jian, nodded helplessly in agreement, and asked, "So, can General Jinwu determine an accurate time?" It's November 25th, and we really don't have much time. ”

"And how about noon the day after tomorrow?" Hu Guozhu replied casually, then turned to Wu Lao Hanjian and asked, "Father-in-law, the son-in-law has the courage to make such an arrangement, I don't know if my grandfather can be satisfied." ”

"Success, noon the day after tomorrow." Wu Laohan nodded and agreed casually. Over there, Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had gained two more nights to prepare, and whether they could make concessions by bribing Wu Laohan's henchmen and cronies would depend on these two nights - but fortunately, Xiong Cixu's action to buy Wu Jun's generals was quite smooth, and now Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoxiang and Ma Bao, the three veterans of the Wu army who had an extremely close relationship with Wu Laohan, had made a commitment under the rare treasure offensive of the Qing Dynasty. promised to do his best to persuade Wu Lao Hanjian to make appropriate concessions.

Wang Xu, who didn't know that Xiong Cilu and others were in a hurry to give Kang Mazi a promise, was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, Wu Lao Hanjian stood up again, and ordered to reward the soldiers in the formation, Wu Yingjing conveyed the order, and among the three thousand soldiers, there was naturally a cheer again. And Wu Lao Hanjian coughed again and said: "Lord Wang, Xiong Zhongtang, this king is old and frail, I have to go back to rest first, and I won't accompany you." Guozhu, Yifeng, you two will give a banquet on behalf of this king, remember, be warm in hospitality, and don't let others say that this king is stingy. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Wang Xu, Xiong Cixu and others hurriedly saluted and thanked them. Hu Guozhu, Lu Fatzi and others also hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and watched Wu Laohan leave with the support of the guards. After that, Hu Guozhu first ordered the army to disband, collect the troops and return to the camp, and then invited Wang Xu and Xiong Cilu and others to accompany them to the city for a banquet.

When he went down to the stage and got on the horse, Gao Dejie happened to lead the Wu cavalry back to the camp, and rubbed shoulders with Hu Guozhu and others. ”

"Someone here knows me, too?" Kong Sizhen looked up suspiciously, but saw a grassroots general of the Wu army wearing a sentry uniform flashing behind Gao Dejie, who looked very clear and beautiful, looked like a dog, and asked with a smile on his face: "Sigege, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you changed a man?" ”

"What did you say?" Kong Sizhen's pretty face suddenly changed color. Over there, Sun Yanling suddenly clenched his fists, Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu, Kong Sizhen and others were at a loss, and Gao Dejie turned around and shouted: "Li Ya, what are you farting about?" ”

"Back to the general, the last general will not dare to talk nonsense." The Wu military sentry officer named Li Ya said with a smile: "The last time the last time the last general was ordered to go to the capital on a business trip, this Sigege once had a dewy marriage with the last general. At that time, Sigege also said that she had met countless men, and I was a more powerful one, better than any Zhongtang surnamed Xiong! ”

"Hahaha......!" The surrounding Wu soldiers burst into laughter together. Kong Sizhen's face turned pale, and for a while he couldn't remember whether he had a super-friendly relationship with this general of the Wu army named Li Ya - because there were too many. And the expressions on Xiong Cilu and Sun Yanling's faces were more wonderful than the other, green and white, purple and red, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"Bastard!" Hu Guozhu couldn't bear it anymore, rushed up and pulled that Li Ya down, first slapped him in the face, and roared angrily: "That bastard thing, do you know what you're doing?" What kind of person is Sigege, someone like you can insult at will? ”

"General Jinwu, the last general didn't dare to insult Sigege, the last general told the truth." Li Ya covered his face and said with great grievance: "If General Jinwu doesn't believe it, you can ask Sigege - is there a red mole on her inner thigh, half a fingernail?" If not, the last general will be willing to accept the death penalty! ”

Kong Sizhen's pretty face turned completely white, and the faces of Sun Yanling, Xiong Cixu, Zhou Peigong, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong and others were even more wonderful - because they all knew that Kong Sizhen did have such a characteristic, especially Shang Zhixiao, who had once blown this thing in front of Lu Fatzi. In the snowflakes, these people and Hu Guozhu, Gao Dejie and others were silent, only Li Ya's voice was echoing, "That time, Sigege wanted to betray the prince at the end of the general, but the last general was loyal to the prince, of course he didn't agree, but just took advantage ......of it by the way." ”

"Smack!" When a new slap came, Fat Lu was furious, first slapped Li Ya hard, and then pulled out his waist knife, and roared with a blue face: "If you fucking talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will cut you now!" ”

Li Ya looked at the fierce and vicious appearance of Lu Fatzi, and finally closed his stinky mouth, Gao Dejie also kicked on him, and roared: "Drag back to the camp and beat eighty military sticks!" One more slap in the mouth! ”

The soldiers around Gao Dejie rushed up, dragged Li Ya up and walked out, Lu Fatzi kicked his ass again, and then threw the waist knife to Hong Xiguan next to him, turned to Wang Xu, Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling and others and bowed to the ground, and said very sincerely: "Brother Zizhu, Sigege, Sun Junmen, my lords, the last general and others have no way to govern the army, and connived at the nonsense of the subordinate soldiers, sorry!" Please rest assured, the last general will definitely show the prince, please punish this person again! ”

"Yes, this matter is indeed our fault." Hu Guozhu also hurriedly saluted and covered up: "And the last general believes that with the four-grid golden branches and jade leaves, what the madman said just now is absolutely nonsense, and there is absolutely no such thing!" The last general will be the prince of Mingming, and ask the prince to behead that madman and show it to the public, and apologize to Sigege. ”

Gao Dejie, who had no way to govern the army, also quickly apologized and expressed his absolute support for Hu Guozhu's decision. Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu and the others were silent, as if they didn't hear it, while Kong Sizhen stood silently in the snowflakes with a blank expression, letting the wind and snow cover his body, always motionless, as if his soul had been out of his body. Only Sun Yanling's whole body trembled, and the expression on his face changed and kept changing color.

Suddenly, Sun Yanling suddenly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, raised the knife and rushed towards Kong Sizhen, roaring heartbreakingly: "Slut-!" ”

When the steel knife was approaching, Kong Sizhen was still motionless, as if he was ready to die calmly, while Xiong Cixu, Zhou Peigong and others quickly retreated, for fear of suffering from the disaster of the fish pond. Only our fat man Lu didn't know where to come out of a surge of courage, roared "Si Gege" and pounced, pressed Kong Sizhen under him, and blocked Sun Yanling's steel knife for Kong Sizhen with his back.

"Bang!" In the middle of the golden and iron body, a steel knife suddenly stretched out to frame Sun Yanling's waist knife, the two knives intersected, and Sun Yanling's steel knife flew into the air. When everyone was surprised to look at people, they saw that the person who held Sun Yanling's steel knife was a cross-eyed soldier who would never leave Lu Fatzi's left and right at any time. Hu Guozhu, Gao Dejie and others were all startled, and hurriedly rushed up, grabbed Sun Yanling together, and persuaded loudly, "Sun Junmen, Sun Junmen, calm down!" Please calm down! ”

"Let go! Let me go! Sun Yanling struggled desperately, and shouted with red eyes: "Let go of me!" I'm going to die with this slut today! I'm going to die with her! ”

"Yifeng, you take Sigege away!" Hu Guozhu shouted and ordered.

"Sigege, let's go!" Lu Fatzi, who secretly regretted that he had died too much, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly pulled up Kong Sizhen and ran out, but Kong Sizhen was like a puppet, not struggling at all, just letting Lu Fatzi drag and run to no man's land, tears rolling in his beautiful eyes, but he always refused to flow out of his eyes.

"Don't pull me! Don't pull me! I'm going to kill this! I'm going to die with this slut! ”

In Sun Yanling's crazy and desperate howl, Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong and other Kong Sizhen's former faces were either blank, or gloating, or secretly shaking their heads in regret, regretting that Sun Yanling's knife just now didn't kill the scourge of Lu Fatzi? But no one was willing to catch up with Kong Sizhen, expressing his comfort even if he was a symbol of his surname. And after Kong Sizhen looked back and saw this scene, the tears that had accumulated for a long time in her beautiful eyes finally slid down her cheeks, bit by bit, and slowly hit the cold land covered with snow.
