Chapter 13 Reasonable and Unexpected

The rain fell as soon as it was spoken, crackling and hitting the eaves, and falling in strings of pearls.

Qin Lei thought about the stormy night when he first came, and the situation was much better at this time, he said to himself.

After adjusting his mood, he instructed Tie Ying to invite Shen Luo.

The conversation with Guan Tao came to an end, and Guan Tao, who was full of wine, went to sleep in the wing. At today's banquet, the prime minister has issued an eviction order, but he is free, and even his luggage has been moved.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was dark and I couldn't tell the time. When Shen Luo came, Qin Lei was already in charge of the lamp.

He took Shen Luo's umbrella, saw that most of his body was wet, handed over the towel, and said guiltily: "If it weren't for the temporary change, I wouldn't have tossed my uncle so much." ”

Shen Luo said with a smile: "Your Highness underestimates it as an uncle, in previous years, he traveled south and north, often slept in the open air, hugged the ice and snow, and was not so squeamish." ”

Qin Lei lifted the teapot from the small peat stove, Tie Ying hurriedly took it, and poured out a rich ginger soup. Qin Lei handed Shen Luo a bowl first, and then motioned for Tie Ying to drink some himself.

Qin Lei asked Shen Luo and Tie Ying to change out of their wet clothes, and drank three bowls of ginger soup in a row before he talked about the conversation with Guantao in detail.

Shen Luo pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "According to His Highness's intentions, our people will not set off for the time being?" ”

Qin Lei nodded and said, "Since the Baisheng Army has been involved, the original plan cannot be used, and our people cannot be sent to death in vain." ”

At this time, the iron eagle guarding the door signaled that Mr. Guantao was awake.

Qin Lei looked at Shen Luo, he nodded, Qin Lei instructed Tie Ying, "Go and ask Mr. Tao." ”

After the pavilion Tao came, he greeted Shen Luo, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries. Only then did Qin Lei know that Mr. Guantao's real name is Zhang Jizhi, a native of Yunzhou, and a disciple of Yunzhou Sanren Shenjizi, three years younger than Shen Luo.

Time was pressing, and the conversation quickly got to the point.

Qin Lei said to Shen Luo: "Uncle might as well tell Mr. about our strategy, so that Mr. can help with it." ”

Shen Luo nodded and said to Guan Tao: "Half a month ago, His Royal Highness made a plan, and personally communicated with the first disciple of Huineng Zen Master, the best monk, Lu Mingde, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Emperor of Qi's personal eunuch Huang Gonggong, who was originally visited by Li Shaoqing of Great Qin, used some small means that could not be used to communicate to the Empress Dowager of Qi, Zen Master and Xiangguo in the name of the Empress Dowager of Great Qin's grandson. ”

Tie Ying sighed in his heart, these people were too fake to speak, and the three thousand Dongzhu given to Eunuch Huang alone cost one million taels of silver. If this is called a small means, I don't know what a big means will become.

"With the efforts of His Highness, the first thing we saw was Hui Neng, the Zen sect is trying to preach in the territory of my Great Qin, and once the war starts, his efforts will be in vain. We promised him that once he returned to China, he would contribute to the preaching of Zen Buddhism, and he would contribute 100,000 taels of gold to make a golden body for his Buddha, and finally he agreed to say to the emperor. ”

Later, he used a set of coral screens to open the way, met Prime Minister Qi, and stated the disadvantages of starting a war at this time; Today, I finally used a 10,000-year-old person to see the Empress Dowager Qi, and aroused the humanity of the old man. Only then did he teach Qi to unify his opinion and send our Highness back to China. Speaking of screens and ginseng, Shen Luo's face was painful, which was an effect that was not achieved by just 100,000 taels of gold.

He said a little verbose, anyone who spends so much money and meets so many big people will be very eager to talk.

Mr. Guantao Zhang Jizhi has been living in embarrassment, and he has never had more than 100 taels of silver on his body, and he has no feeling for Shen Luo's description. He tapped down the table and said softly, "So the return date of His Highness is near. Are there any arrangements on the way? ”

Shen Luo nodded admiringly and said, "We are worried that we will annoy our Great Qin military, and we are preparing to pretend to be an assassin of Qi State on the road to assassinate His Highness and give the military a reason to go to war." ”

Guan Tao said with a smile: "Now that the Qi Congress has sent people to exterminate us, there is no reason to worry." ”

Shen Luo smiled embarrassedly and said, "We have other arrangements, but if we want to confront the army, it is really delusional." ”

Guan Tao thought for a moment and asked, "Has the assassin who assassinated His Highness last month been found?" ”

Shen Luo nodded and said, "I found out, it's Nanchu's Black Flag agent." ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I was quite sought-after."

Guan Tao also began to get used to the character of this highness who was off the line, he tapped his fingers on the table, and analyzed: "The state of Chu is definitely willing to go to war with Qin Qi, and it is very likely that it will also make a move." ”

Shen Luo smiled bitterly: "If the Great Qin military knew that the Qi people had released our Highness, most of them would have taken action. Coupled with my Great Qin Royal Spy, there are enough six or seven forces entangled, and it is chaotic. ”

Guantao stopped tapping, pressed his hand on the table and said: "The more chaotic, the better, and the chaos is good for fishing in troubled waters." If there is only us and the Yum Army, we will not be able to get out. ”

Qin Lei got up and paced a few steps, and said resolutely: "Mr. Zhizhi is right, we must let the situation become chaotic. Uncle, tell our people, step up and turn it upside down. ”

Shen Luo got up to receive the order, Qin Lei pointed to a certain place on the map, and gave him a detailed order, Guan Tao listened on the side, and became more and more admired, this fifth prince is thoughtful and well-planned, and what is even more rare is that Qi Zheng is harmonious, not blindly taking risks, he really does not look like a sixteen-year-old boy.

~~~~~~~

The rain stopped, Shen Luo left, and Guantao also went to rest.

Qin Lei immersed himself in the darkness and carefully wiped down the strange equipment. The affairs of the Baisheng Army put a lot of pressure on him, and in the face of absolute power, any intrigue and trickery were extremely vulnerable. Zhang Zhizhi said that the Baisheng Army is undefeated, and it all depends on Baisheng Gong to fight a battle that must be won. Therefore, the army that will besiege and kill you at that time must be overwhelming in terms of quantity and quality, and it is impossible to break through by luck.

He inserted small crossbow arrows into his arm crossbow, and suddenly laughed at himself: "If you don't do these actions, you can survive for a while." Now he has become an old birthday boy eating arsenic, and he thinks that his life is long. ”

After that, his mood inexplicably improved, and he hummed a pop song out of tune.

Iron Eagle still stood dutifully outside the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three days later, the father-in-law Huang, who had eaten 20,000 well-off family's rations for a year, came to announce the decree and said: Emperor Qin has a son, whose name is Lei, whose character is gentle, and whose virtue is good, and who has worked hard for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now I feel his sincerity, sympathize with his filial piety, the emperor's grace is vast, and he gives money to return to the country......

As soon as the old eunuch Huang left, Qin Lei took Huang Cancan's holy decree off the desk, looked at it carefully, and rubbed it gently. smiled at Tie Ying: "This is a good thing, look at this workmanship, look at this fabric." After thousands of years, it will be worth the old nose money. ”

Tie Ying automatically ignored this sentence and said to Qin Lei: "Your Highness, the things you ordered have been done. ”

When Qin Lei heard this, he rolled up the holy decree and threw it into the porcelain vase with a feather duster. laughed loudly: "Hurry up." ”

With a wave of Tie Ying's hand, the four Shen family guards carried a pitch-black iron box in, this box was five feet long, two feet wide, and three feet high, and it was also wrapped in iron hoops, and the most surprising thing was that there were more than a dozen keyholes on it. Iron Eagle stepped forward, took out a dozen keys, took out another piece of paper, and opened all the locks in turn according to the order above, before the box popped open with a 'click'.

There was a trembling sack inside, Qin Lei stepped forward and kicked the box, and the sack stopped moving. He asked Tie Ying, "What is this?" ”

Tie Ying and the four guards looked at each other and smiled, and said to Qin Lei: "This is the nephew of the national teacher, this kid is wandering around the street alone, and when he sees the box we carried, he has to see what is inside." We're going to kidnap him to see you where no one is. ”

Qin Lei smiled happily and ordered the guards to bring out the sack, and the iron eagle kicked two feet on it, whining like a pig killing inside.

Qin Lei Tieying bared his teeth and said, "This is not good, release this son quickly." ”

Tie Ying did not refute, drew his waist knife, and with a 'swish', sliced the sack open, revealing a young man with a frightened horse-faced face, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was stuffed with stinky socks by somebody, looking extremely miserable.

Qin Lei looked at it for a moment, raised his leg to kick the horse's face, and his body curled up in a ball, trembling. Qin Lei said to Tie Ying: "I can't see anything through the sack, how good is this......"

~~~~~~~~~~~

The horse's face kept kowtowing, and tears and snot poured out together, apparently frightened.

Qin Lei said to him gently: "Don't be afraid, son, you are going to be beaten anyway, it is better to be more comfortable." ”

The horse's face whined, as if begging for mercy.

Qin Lei took out a guard's waist knife, danced it in his hand a few times, and said to Tie Ying: "When you are tired of playing, chop it up and feed it to the dog, don't get blood everywhere like last time." ”

Tie Ying took the knife with a smile, nodded fiercely, and said in a rough voice: "Childe, let's break this kid's bones first, and he will be honest." ”

The horse-faced youth finally fainted in fright......

Qin Lei and Tie Ying exchanged glances and asked the guards to drag the horse's face down.

Tie Ying leaned in and asked, "Your Highness, are you really going to chop it?" ”

Qin Lei glanced at him angrily, and then said happily: "I originally wanted to play tricks to the best, but this kid actually threw himself into the net, hey, God will take it, and he will be punished by God." ”
