Hu Zongxian's eyes sparkled: "Heavenly Wolf, can you be responsible for what you just said?" ”

The wolf puffed up his chest without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if Yan Song thinks so, but Yan Shifan must have this thought, he is now rich and rivals the country, inside and outside the government and the opposition, the north and south of the river are full of his henchmen, there are few people like the ministry who still care about the country, what the wolf has seen all the way, most of the members of the Yan Party are by bribing Yan Shifan to get office, and when they go to the local area, they desperately loot the people, embezzle and accept bribes, in order to recover the cost, and the country has made a miasma, and Yan's father and son are the root cause, And the Yan family now has so much money, no matter how much money there is, it has no meaning for them, and what they want to keep is nothing more than the glory and wealth that they have already received. ”

"Hu Butang, you also said just now, Yan Song is almost eighty years old, at this age, his energy and body are no longer enough to be qualified as the first assistant of the cabinet, and he should have retired bravely, but why does he still occupy this position? I have been in the country for more than 100 years, but which cabinet chief assistant has stayed in this position longer and older than him? ”

"In fact, his thoughts, you know best, is nothing more than afraid that after he steps down, he will be liquidated by someone for more than 20 years, and the accumulated property of his family is enough to buy one or two provinces, who can't look at such a big fat meat? Once you lose your power, you lose your life. ”

"So even if Yan Song dies of illness and old age in this phase, Yan Shifan will continue to do it, just so that the Yan family will not be beheaded by the whole family, they will also firmly hold this power and make it a hereditary thing of his Yan family. Hu Butang. If you have the talent to help the world, would you like to see that? The position of the head of the cabinet should be yours!"

Hu Zongxian's pupils contracted suddenly. He shouted in a deep voice: "Heavenly wolf, be cautious! Hu has no merit and fame, and the position of the head of the cabinet cannot fall on my head. ”

The Heavenly Wolf suddenly understood that the Yan Party was going to fall sooner or later, even Hu Zongxian, who was eager not to let Yan Shifan spoil his major affairs in the southeast. will also go up to push the strict party at a critical time, but as soon as the strict party falls, the officials and ministers promoted by Yan Song's father and son over the years will be implicated. When the time comes, even if an important minister like Hu Zongxian cares about the country and makes great contributions, he will at least be dismissed and demoted. and even went to prison to convict him. The political struggle has always been so cruel and ruthless, and the position of the head of the cabinet cannot be Hu Zongxian's turn to sit in any case.

Hu Zongxian's expression became lonely: "I still know that although he has his own weaknesses, he will not bring disaster to the country and the people, but now that he is old, the East Building is unscrupulous and has gone too far." His reputation was also ruined early on his son. I only hope that he can recognize the shape clearly, and not go all the way to the dark and leave an infamy in the history books. ”

Xu Wenchang didn't speak just now, and then he couldn't help but speak: "Ministry, in that case, why don't you repair a book, or take advantage of the time you return to Beijing every year to talk to Yan Ge Lao, let him let Yan Shifan restrain a little bit, the country has collapsed, is it good for his Yan family?" ”

Hu Zongxian sighed: "You all don't know, now the old man basically can't see Yan Ge Lao, in the past two years back to Beijing, every time I go to Yan Mansion to visit, but I have been rejected by the East Building, and the letters to him have never been replied to, presumably they have also been intercepted by the East Building, the so-called inseparable, the East Building is still living with Yan Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao is meeting with the old man, how can he listen to my words and offend his son." ”

Tianluo nodded: "What Hu Butang said is extremely true, and I heard that the emperor likes to cultivate the Tao, and every day he will write some green words that others can't understand and burn them, in order to seek the will of heaven, among the cabinet ministers, only Yan Shifan is the best at writing this thing, Yan Song is now old, and the matter of this green word completely depends on Yan Shifan, and even the usual political affairs are not handled properly in the cabinet, but to be brought home and handed over to Yan Shifan to handle, so Yan Shifan, who has not yet entered the cabinet, is known as the old man of the small cabinet." ”

Hu Zongxian nodded: "Heavenly Wolf, you said that Donglou will definitely collude with foreign enemies, is this your conjecture or did you see it with your own eyes?" The last time he was in the Mongol camp, you seemed to just say that he bribed Altan Khan and told them to withdraw when they had enough, so that they would not establish further contact with Altan. ”

Sky Wolf sneered: "That was just their first meeting, and I just happened to bump into it, and who knows if they still have contact afterwards." The current Xuanda Governor Xu Lun is Yan Song's hardcore party member, and if he switches and lets people go out to connect with Altan Khan, it is not a matter of words. ”

Hu Zongxian stood up, paced back and forth a few steps behind his back, sighed, and didn't look at the wolf, and muttered: "The wolf, you said that the East Building also had contact with the wolf, but did you see it with your own eyes?" ”

Heavenly Wolf Zhengse said: "This matter is not a lie, that day the humble position found in Nanjing City that once had a relationship with Shangquan Xinzhi, at this time he has changed his name to Luo Longwen, and that Xu Hai, Mao Haifeng, with more than 20 Japanese swordsmen, Han people dressed up, the humble position immediately followed them, until outside the city, only to bump into their meeting with Yan Shifan. ”

"These widows, heard about Yan Shifan's lustful things, they wanted to find a stunning woman to give to Yan Shifan, originally found a stunning singer on the Qinhuai River, but never thought that the woman was Xu Hai's former lover, so Xu Hai ransomed the woman and bought, last year when Yan Shifan made a deal with the Mongols, he was bumped into by the Mulanxiang woman of the Wudang faction, and almost died under the sword of Mu Nuxia."

"So these Oriental people wanted to kidnap Mu Nuxia and dedicate it to Yan Shifan as a meeting gift, they wanted to ambush Mu Nuxia outside Nanjing, but they were hit by a lowly mistake, and then Yan Shifan appeared, and these Orientals were also intrigued, and finally found out that my storage zài, so they broke away from these widows and negotiated with me."

Hu Zongxian nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "But since you said that Donglou hates you to the bone, and you are aware of your existence, why don't you join forces with those Japanese robbers and put you to death?" ”

Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "Yan Shifan has a request for Commander-in-Chief Lu, and a while ago, Yang Jisheng, a member of the military department, and Jinyiwei experienced Shen Lian, who successively impeached Yan Song's father and son. Although the emperor sent Yang Jisheng to prison, Yan Shifan wanted to kill him as soon as possible, and he didn't want to make the relationship with Jinyiwei too stiff now. So I took the initiative to show favor to me that day, and wanted to bring a message to Commander Lu under the command of his humble position, so that he could kill Lord Yang as proof of re-cooperation with them. ”

Hu Zongxian sighed: "This is very similar to what Donglou did." So, you didn't hear what he was talking about with the pirates? ”

Heavenly Wolf Zhengse said: "Yes, Yan Shifan realized my existence from the beginning, so naturally it is impossible to say anything important. He's just making an appointment with those would-be robbers, but my lord, they're in private contact behind your back. What is being talked about will not be something that is good for the country, but some dirty deals, which will not be seen in the dark. ”

Hu Zongxian said: "If there is no evidence of Donglou's collaboration with the enemy and treason, you can't just conclude lightly, maybe he is just greedy for money." Maybe he just wants to raise his own self-esteem. The Yan family's property is too huge, if I can't tolerate him in the Ming Dynasty, and if he goes to a foreign country, he is just a fat sheep to be slaughtered. But in any case, at least for now, my ostensible proposal of temporarily reconciling with the Japanese and secretly opening the sea ban still coincides with the East Building. It's impossible for us to tear our faces with the East Building now, Sky Wolf. Do you understand? ”

Heavenly Wolf nodded: "The humble position fully understands that if the Yan Party collapses now, at least here in the southeast, it may not be a good thing, the Lord of the Ministry has been working hard here for several years, and finally stabilized the situation, and has a big plan, and it is difficult to do this by changing the minister of the Qing School, plus now the Yan Party is powerful in the middle of the court, and it will not fall in the short term, so now it can only temporarily cooperate with Yan Shifan, appease the Japanese Kou, provoke their cannibalism, and at the same time reorganize the army to wait for the fighters." ”

Hu Zongxian smiled with satisfaction: "The wolf really understands people, there is no need for the old man to mention more, now the officials in Zhejiang, from the political envoy Zheng Bichang, according to the envoy He Maocai, most of them are people sent by the East Building, in the past two years, in Zhejiang, it is also a big search, the old man from the overall situation, he can only turn a blind eye to his greedy ink trip, as long as you don't miss the anti-Japanese event, so the things in Hangzhou City, by them to toss, the bottom line is not to miss the military expenses and food on the front line, This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the old man and Donglou. ”

Tian Wolf smiled: "No wonder there is a group of drunken gold fans in Hangzhou City, it turns out that Hu Butang deliberately did it. It's not too early, let's prepare for it, and leave early tomorrow morning, as for Feng Wu, I will have Lord Lao Butang and Mr. Xu to take care of it. ”

Hu Zongxian smiled and said nothing, Xu Wenchang walked out of the big tent with the wolf, and as the footsteps of the two disappeared a hundred steps away, the smile on Hu Zongxian's face gradually solidified, and he shouted in a deep voice outside: "Come here, take my name, please invite the political envoy in the city, Lord Zheng, and the envoy He will come to the camp tomorrow!"

After leaving Hu Zongxian's tent, the wolf let out a long sigh of relief, stopped, and Xu Wenchang on the side looked at the wolf's face carefully by the firelight, and shook his head: "I can't imagine that there is really such a way to change people's appearance in the world, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Xu Mou really can't believe it." It's just that since Brother Sky Wolf has the ability to change, how can we confirm your identity the next time we meet? ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "Today's voice is my true voice, and I also have the gold medal of the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the person is in the card, as long as I take out this, then I can confirm my identity." ”

Xu Wenchang laughed: "That day, Brother Wolf didn't know if it was convenient for Xu to see the true face of Lushan?" See you next time, as long as you show your true face, won't you have to be so troublesome? ”

Sky Wolf waved his hand: "Forget it, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who know this disguise technique, such as the Fengwu girl who came with me, she is a master in this, and there is no shortage of such people in other factions, as for the voice, you can change it through the guò voice change pill, so it's better to recognize me for this gold medal." In this way, this time in Zhejiang, if there is no emergency, it will not be easy for me to tolerate, and I have been showing people with this mask, how about it? ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Wenchang's eyes: "It's just that Brother Tianwolf's appearance as a businessman can't show your true heroic colors, Xu really wants to see your appearance." ”

Tianluo sighed: "Mr. Xu, I won't tell you, back then, out of the need to conceal his identity, he has always shown people in a false face, if the true face of Xia is exposed to the world, it will cause an uproar in the martial arts, and when the time comes, waves of people from both good and evil sides will be constantly attracted to the southeast, but I am afraid that it will not be good for the overall situation against the Japanese." Lu Bing just knew my hardships, so I kept wearing a mask to act, not that the wolf didn't want to be honest with Brother Xu. But Brother Xu. I promise you that when it's convenient, I'll take off my mask and have a good time with you. ”

Xu Wenchang's brows widened, and he said with a smile: "I knew that Brother Tianluo must have his own unspeakable secrets, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a person with many stories." All right. In the future, when you and I meet honestly, we must drink happily for three days and three nights, Xu is very interested in listening to your past. ”

The two talked and laughed all the way to the gate of the Chinese army's camp. Xu Wenchang stopped and took out a waist card with the word "Hu" written on it: "Brother Tianwolf, you bring this, you can come and go freely in my camp." Xu still has military affairs. You also heard just now that tomorrow the wolf soldiers from Guangxi will come, and I have to go back to provide them with logistical food and grass. At present, the new recruits have not been trained, and the main force of land warfare in the next two years will have to rely on them. ”

The Sky Wolf didn't know much about the wolf soil soldiers, frowned, and asked, "Are these soldiers reliable?" ”

Xu Wenchang smiled: "The wolf Tubing is the Dong people of Guangxi, the private soldiers of the Tusi. The combat effectiveness is very fierce, but the military discipline is not very good. I like to rob the people, now my Daming Wei army can't fight, and the new army can't be counted on for a while, so I can only rely on them for the time being, these people's salaries are much higher than ordinary soldiers, and if the supply is insufficient, it is possible to rob the people here, so Xu has to plan an all-night today and serve these uncles well. ”

Heavenly Wolf shook his head helplessly: "It's really hard Mr. Xu." Then don't bother much, you are busy first, I will go to Feng Wu, after entering the camp, General Qi will send someone to send her to the doctor's account. ”

Xu Wenchang nodded and said: "Don't worry, as soon as the reception task of those wolf soldiers is over tomorrow, I will go to see Feng Wu, after all, there are many people in the barracks, it is not suitable for her to stay here as a woman, as long as the injury is a little better, I will transfer her to the governor yamen of Hu Butang in the city." You can rest assured. ”

A hint of gratitude flashed in the wolf's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Then thank you, Mr. Xu, I didn't tell Hu Butang just now, I will tell you here, you just know it in your heart, don't tell Hu Butang, this Feng Wu is a killer trained by Commander Lu for many years, and he is regarded as a treasure, and he also has the duty to monitor me when he comes to Hangzhou this time, you better let her raise her for a while, don't let her run around, otherwise I won't be free to do anything." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Wenchang's eyes: "What's the matter, Lu Bing still sent someone to spy on you?" ”

Heavenly Wolf sighed: "Commander Lu will not trust anyone, except for this Feng Wu who was raised by him since he was a child, and he is a woman, so he trusts everyone else, especially me, Jinyiwei, who left home halfway, has a lot of disagreements with him, and the last time I went to Shanxi, I let Feng Wu keep staring at me, this time again, cough, I won't hide it from you, in fact, Feng Wu was injured by mistake, so I didn't dare to go to Jinyiwei's Hangzhou branch." ”

Xu Wenchang was taken aback, and suddenly showed a strange smile: "Brother Heavenly Wolf, does this Phoenix Dance girl belong to you?" ”

There was a hint of panic in the eyes of the heavenly wolf, and he regained his composure and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Xu say this? ”

Xu Wenchang laughed: "It's very simple, if Miss Fengwu doesn't like you and hurts you like this, why are you still willing to be at your mercy?" If it were me, my life would almost be gone, so I must go back to the branch of Jinyiwei first and find Lu Bing to complain. ”

Tianluo sighed: "You guessed it right, this girl is sticking to me now, I will follow me wherever I go, Lu Bing also happened to use this to let her spy on me, I can't hurt her, and I can't drive her away, this time I followed General Qi to train the army, and after I came back, I also went to Shuangyu to deliver a letter, I didn't want her to see it, so I asked Mr. Xu to help with this." ”

Xu Wenchang put away his smile and said, "Brother Heavenly Wolf, please rest assured, it is a major matter related to the military aircraft, and we will not let any Jinyi Wei except you know." If Miss Feng Wu asks about your whereabouts, we only say that you followed General Qi out to recruit new soldiers, and you will come back after a while, okay? ”

The wolf nodded, and then said goodbye to Xu Wenchang tacitly, after leaving the camp of the Chinese army, he turned to the left camp of Qi Jiguang's department, only to see that the military discipline here is strict, and the tents in the camp are all scattered and orderly, secretly combining the art of war, the wolf has read some of the military books left by Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty, and there is also a detailed description of the camping and camping, and Qi Jiguang's camp is also different from the famous generals of the ancients, and the wolf nodded again and again, and secretly sighed that Qi Jiguang is really a rare good general, As long as there are elite soldiers like Liu Yu's Beifu soldiers back then, it is not too difficult to attack Mongolia in the south and Mongolia in the north.

Sky Wolf thought all the way, walked around the camp all the way, and passed by several groups of patrolling soldiers, all of whom needed to show Hu Zongxian's waist card to be able to pass guò, which made him even more impressed by Qi Jiguang's strict management of the army, but these Shaoxing soldiers who were disciplined and would camp lacked the courage to fight with the enemy after they went to the battlefield, and this kind of character in the bone marrow was something that Qi Jiguang, who was a famous general, could not overcome.
