The cold stars are scarce, and the sky is dark and cloudy.

In the Governor's Palace, in the living room under heavy security, Shen Mo and Nian Yongkang also stayed awake all night, in order to pass the time and drive away the sleepiness, the two have been playing chess. Nian Yongkang was born in the army, likes to play chess, and is not very interested in Go, although Shen Mo is the opposite of him, he is still willing to accompany him.

At first, Yongkang was still full of interest, but in the Chu River and Han realms, he came to a few games, and he was killed, and he finally knew that the chess strength of the two sides was too far apart, so he gradually lost the interest in the game, pinched a chess piece and refused to fall, and asked Shen Mo: "My lord, what if those people don't come?" ”

Shen Mo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "If they don't come, they can't say it, we have to do it." ”

Oh Nian Yongkang nodded, but the corners of his mouth flashed a wry smile and said, "That would make a big deal." ”

"yes." Shen Mo said: "You really can't do that unless you have to." He smiled slightly: "But I'm confident that I'll see you before dawn." ”

"My lord has always been very confident," Nian Yongkang said with a smile.

"Oh?" Shen Mo glanced at him and said, "It seems that you are still drumming in your heart." He smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "I'll give you a reassurance, I'm not fighting alone." ”

Nian Yongkang was a little confused and said: "Is there any other powerful character in Xuanfu?" ”

"No" Shen Mo shook his head, pointed to the chessboard and said: "It's like this game of chess, you can't just focus on the battle in a corner, you have to stand taller and see farther." In fact, this Xuanfu is like a battlefield, we, Yang Shun Lukai, and those Xuanfu natives are like the opposing tripartite armies, and it is very important to rush and kill before the battle! But where the real decision is made or lost, maybe hundreds of miles outside the battlefield, you know? ”

Nian Yongkang seemed to understand a little: "What do you mean by the adult, in the midst of planning and planning, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away?" ”

"Even if you don't hit it, it's not far away." Shen Mo said: "You are my teacher's benefactor, and you are also my benefactor, so I won't hide it from you, although the current court seems to be business as usual, in fact, it has reached the darkness before dawn, the key point of the transition." This is well known to all forces, and everyone is preparing for that Shi Xuan, and they are doing their best to prepare for it. Saying that, he glanced at him and said slowly: "Xuanfu is no exception here. "Words can only be clicked and stopped, and it is inappropriate to say too much.

Nian Yongkang was thrilled when he heard it, and it took a long time before he swallowed and said, "So, this time we have won?" ”

"You can't say that," Shen Mo shook his head and said: "It's still like a war, no matter how superb the commander's planning is, no matter how sufficient the logistics supply is, if the front-line soldiers don't fight to the death, it will be in vain to win." ”

"I understand" Nian Yongkang nodded slowly: "What my lord means, now we should put aside all our worries and have a good time!" ”

"Not bad" the leader of the silent approving said: "Your understanding is indeed good" said and looked at him meaningfully: "You shouldn't just succumb to Xuanda, you should get a broader stage." ”

This is even if the comprehension is not good, he can understand it, Nian Yongkang knelt down on one knee excitedly and said: "Master Xie cultivates!" ”

Shen Mo smiled and helped him up, and said: "I, an outsider, can only make a suggestion, the key depends on how well you do, and if you do well, someone will buy it." ”

At this time, the rooster crowed all over the place, and Nian Yongkang said softly: "It's almost dawn"

Shen Mo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether it is good or bad, the result is about to come out." One sentence revealed his psychology, and it turned out that he was not so sure.

A quarter of an hour later, the results came out, and there was a soft knock on the door outside.

Shen Mo asked softly, "What's the matter?" Nian Yongkang seemed to hear a tremor from it.

"My lord, Chen Futai took you adults and asked to see you outside." Sanchi said slowly.

The silence was almost solidified, and he immediately calmed down, looked at Nian Yongkang and smiled, and said loudly: "Hurry up, please!" A few families were happy and a few were sad, watching his subordinates leave one after another, and in the end only he was left staggering, Yang Shun's heart was full of feelings of betrayal and separation, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The old road, the matter has come to this, we can only fight with them!" ”

Lu Kai also looked defeated, nodded heavily, and said: "Since you don't give us a way to live, what do we care about!" I can only fight to the death! ”

"Okay, since you also agree" Yang Shun said: "I'll gather my own soldiers and take them off!" ”

Lu Kai cried and laughed: "I didn't mean what I said, and he lowered his voice and said: "After all, the surname Shen is under the name of Qincha, so we can't use force with him."

"It's all at this time, do you care if he's bad or not?" Yang Shun's eyes widened like bull's eyes, and said, "Just make up a reason, just say that he has to die of illness and report to the Xiaoge Elder to play a round for us." ”

"Well, it's no better than ever." Lu Kai shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Ge Lao can't save us,"

"You're too pessimistic, old way." Yang Shun disagreed.

"Think about it, a small four-grade imperial history, single-handedly came to Xuanfu, and dared to serve the local civil and military in one pot, if it wasn't for someone behind him, what would he do?" Lu Kai said with a gloomy face: "Except."

"Who's backing him?" Yang Shun said.

"Who else but Xu Jie?" Lu Kai said hatefully: "Only that old thing can say that Yang Bo's old slippery head!" ”

"Yang Bo? Why did you get involved with Yang Bo again? Yang Shun was completely confused by him.

"How can you not talk about Yang Bo? . Lu Kai said hatefully: "Today we are bad because we are calculated" Don't forget, that Cui Lao'er is Yang Bo's cousin, and those people all listen to him, today this old man is cold and indifferent, and he is not hot at all, he must have a ghost in his heart. As he spoke, his fists clenched and he said, "I think eighty percent, he instructed those people before he came, and he was ready to sell us!" ”

"Why? Why did Yang Bo do this? Yang Shun still didn't believe.

"Why?" Lu Kai sneered: "He will be in the spring next year, and you and Xu Lun will get in the way of him."

"He's not like that, is he," Lu Kai said weakly.

"Why not?. Lu Kai said: "Do you know? Xiao Ge Lao smiled at the civil and military officials, and said, "The so-called geniuses of the world, looking at today, there are only three people!" ”

I seem to have heard of Yang Shundao: "One is Xiaoge Lao, the other is Lu Taibao, and the other seems to be Yang Bo." ”

How high is the vision of the little pavilion? Lu Kai said: "Lu Bing doesn't need to say, then Yang Bo was only the governor of Gansu at that time, but he can be so admired by the elder of the pavilion, do you think he is a character?" ”

Yang Bo Yang Shun read the name of this family lightly, shook his head and said, "It's far away, what should I do now?" ”

"There is a way," said the self-helper Tianzhu Dao Kai with a hateful face: "Fortunately, we also have a trick." As he spoke, he attached his ear to Yang Shun's side, and whispered: "When Huang Taiji comes, the handsome man is so so."

"Ah, I really want to" Yang Shun was halfway through his words, thinking that he was going to work hard just now, and he also said ruthlessly: "Okay, just do it!" "Confessions, and their signatures; Of course, he also vowed to guarantee that this incident would not implicate the people present, as well as their relatives and friends. Sometimes some compromises are necessary in exchange for the support of the other party.

Touching the thick stack of confessions, he breathed a sigh of relief in silence, and smiled at the anxious people: "With everyone's evidence, this case can be concluded with Yang Shun and Lu Kai who are treacherous on the outside, afraid of the enemy, cowardly, lying about their military exploits, mutilating the people, and deceiving the court, they have committed a mortal crime!" Even Da Luo Tianxian can't save them! As he spoke, he said silently, "Unless you take them to heaven." ”

Although it was not funny, everyone tried very hard to echo and laughed: "Evil does not suppress good, evil does not suppress good."

"Well said" Shen Mo smiled, stretched his waist, yawned and said: "You can go back, tossing all night, you are all sleepy, right?" ”

Everyone laughed and said, "My lord got up and said goodbye after working hard." The evil general stood still and asked Shen Mo softly: "My lord, since the matter is over, can you talk to Jinyiwei and let those officers go?" When everyone heard this, they also stood still, and they all agreed: "Yes, yes, yes," most of those people are their relatives and friends, of course, they must be protected.

A strange smile hung on the corner of Shen Mo's mouth, his eyes swept over these pleading people, he shook his head and said slowly: "I can't agree." ”

"Why?" Everyone became nervous and asked him anxiously, "Didn't the adults say that they would not be held responsible?" And the anxious said: "You can't talk and don't count."

Unexpectedly, Shen Mo and Nian Yongkang looked at each other and smiled, and they both smiled very happily. Everyone was at a loss, so they listened to Shen Mo and said to Nian Yongkang: "Nian Qianhu, you can explain this problem." ”

Okay Nian Yongkang nodded and smiled: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, Lord Qincha will not speak and will not count, because Jinyiwei did not go to the barracks at all, nor did he capture any officers."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar and said in disbelief: "Really? ”

"Whether it's true or not, everyone will know when they go back." Nian Yongkang stretched out his hand and said, "Please!" ”

They left the governor's palace in disbelief, and did not return home, but went straight to the barracks, and when they arrived, everything was as it was, and no one was taken away, and there was no reward.

At this time, Vice President Luo, who thought he had been arrested, appeared in front of everyone yawning and said strangely: "Why did you come here early in the morning?" ”

Only then did everyone believe that nothing had happened in the barracks,

"Ball, it turned out to be a fraud to us!" The evil general took a sip and said, "I was asked for by someone who was taken for a fool." Many people were also very depressed, and said: "Yes, this Lord Qincha is cunning and cunning, so that we all thought that we were going to show the stuffing here, but in the end, we did all the tricks, and we didn't even dare to bargain, and as a result, it turned out to be a bluff!" It's so infuriating! ”

But there are also those who are full of praise for Shen Mo, and Chen Futai, who was praised by him for his calligraphy, twisted his beard and said: "Lord Qincha has a good strategy, our border army is strong, not as docile as the Beijing camp, and Jinyiwei does not dare to rashly break into the barracks to arrest people, in case of a mutiny that cannot be cleaned up, and the matter is big, the emperor will definitely punish him" Even without the emperor, Yang Shun can use the pretext of stabilizing the army's heart to ask the king to kill him! ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and Chen Futai said with a look of appreciation: "His trick is called "Capture the thief first."

Sticker. Unprepared, arrest Yang Shun, the ten soldiers have no leader, and they naturally dare not act rashly, and then ask us to recruit the confession and handle the case into an iron case, and no one will treat Yang Shun as the governor, Xuanfu City will naturally not be in chaos, and he will only have no merit

"What a bold man he is." Everyone pondered that this was indeed the case, but if it was changed, they would not dare to do it.

The evil general thought for a while, and said convincingly: "This person is really Shen Daring, and I am convinced!" ”

According to the research of historians, the people of Xuanfu have always called Shen Mo "Shen Daring", which should have originated here, but what really made him "bold." The name is a series of events that happened later, the head, yawning again and again, no matter what changes the sky or the sky, they each went home and went sleepy.

Early the next morning, the civil and military officials of the Xuan Mansion received a notice ordering them to dress up immediately. Rush to the east gate and gather to greet Lord Qincha!

Everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, or that the messenger had passed it on wrong, and that Lord Qincha was already in the city, so why did he have to go out of the city to greet him?

"It's supposed to be a gift, right?" Chen Futai's question is very representative.

But the little official who came to deliver the message was very sure: "We have also asked, but the chief of the guard of Lord Qincha emphasized that it was a greeting, not a greeting. ”

"What kind of song is this?. Chen Futai muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, hurriedly put on his official uniform, and rushed to the east gate in a sedan chair, saying in his heart: Be careful, it's a big deal. When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that the big guys had basically arrived, this was the psychological yin left by the silent night tossing and turning for the officials, who would dare to provoke such a bold and scheming lord?

The crowd asked each other, "Do you want to greet or send off?" The result was "Congratulations."

"So walk in or walk out?" The people were not afraid to wait, but they did not know which way to wait.

"You don't care if you walk in or walk out, you have to be respectful anyway." The evil general still had an idea, and said: "Let's look at both sides, so we divide into two sides, watch inside and outside the city, and see if we can walk out or walk in." Extremely boring, these guys actually opened a market, betting on whether to be out of the gong or into the gong later.

After a while, I saw a silent sedan chair fluttering from the city. Those who won cheered: "Sure enough, get out of Gong!" "Those who lose are frustrated.

When the sedan chair came to him, he fell silent and said with a smile: "Why is it half empty and half crying?" ”

Everyone said in their hearts, didn't it make you "flattering and making trouble?" Chen Futai bowed down and said: "Some people are happy to see adults, and some people are sad when they think of separating from adults."

"Respectively?. Shen Mo walked out and asked with a smile, "Why are you separated?" ”

"Didn't you tell us to send you?" Chenfutai Road.

"Oh?" Shen Mo looked back and glared at Sanqi and said, "How did you pass the word?" ”

Sanchi said aggrievedly: "The humble position has been repeatedly emphasized, and it is to welcome the Qincha."

"That's exactly what I said." Everyone was confused and said, "But the adults are obviously going out." ”

"Go and greet the Qincha," Shen Mo said and looked into the distance: "Look, this is not coming!" ”

Everyone followed his gaze and looked up the mountain road, only to see a long procession galloping down the mountain.

"Lord Qincha, dare to ask who is coming?" Chen Futai asked cautiously.

Shen Mo replied solemnly: "Qincha." ”

"And who are you?" And the hearts of the people said, Is he a fake? From time to time, Yang Shun checked the edict at that time, and it was indeed written by the emperor!

"Of course I'm also a chap." Silently, everyone was confused, and laughed: "Who said that there can only be one Qincha, I'm just one of them!" ”

Everyone was amazed, and the Qincha's team arrived, and the leading flag bearer said in a loud voice: "Lord Qincha has come here, and he hasn't knelt down quickly to greet him." ”

Everyone hurriedly knelt down first and greeted: "Of course, the ministers respectfully ask Sheng'an to be silent, and he will not kneel, because he is also a chincha, and no one kneels when he sees a chincha."

The guards who carried Lord Qincha flashed out, revealing their true faces, it turned out to be Tu Li, the right attendant of the military department, and said with a silent smile: "I've seen Lord Tu." ”

Although Tu Li is a student of Yan Shifan, he is one level higher than Shen Mo, but he does not dare to slack off at all, "This is not unusual, as long as you are a Beijing official, as long as you have long eyes, and you have seen the thrilling scenes in Beijing, you will deeply realize that this little Lord Shen is no longer able to move anyone."

After the two greeted each other affectionately, Chen Futai, on behalf of the Xuanfu officials, expressed his sincere condolences to the newly arrived Lord Qincha, and said, "Please invite the two Lord Qincha to enter the city." ”

Who knew that although Tu Li's face was full of tiredness, he forced himself to say: "Wait a little longer, you have to go out again to meet you after a while." ”

"Huh? And Qincha? ”
