Chapter 552: Aftershocks (2)

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, but the sky is not cold, but it is a little hotter, especially at noon, even if it is only a single dress, it can also be hot and sweaty, but Wu Sidao obviously does not care much about this unbearable heat, sitting in front of a few children, holding a pen and writing quickly, swaying freely, a pair of wild grass is already jumping on the paper, the gestures are connected and round, the glyphs are wild and changeable, quite the charm of the grass saint Zhang Xu, when I see such a masterpiece, several scholars waiting on the side can't help but applaud, But Wu Sidao didn't have a smug look, just smiled indifferently, with a calm bearing.

"The prince is back."

Wu Sidao's good mood didn't last long, but when he heard a chaotic footsteps, the fourth master with a gloomy face had already dragged his feet out from behind the screen, ignoring the courtesy of the scholars, hooked his head to the back of the copywriter in the middle, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down heavily.

"Hmmm......"

The fourth master's mood was obviously extremely bad, even if it was Wu Sidao's greeting, the fourth master didn't want to say much, just let out a long breath.

"Lord Wang, but has something gone wrong with Jingcheng?"

Wu Sidao is not an ordinary person in the end, although the fourth master is just a sigh, he has been keenly aware of where the problem may be, and his heart can't help but sink, and he doesn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly asked,

"Alas, ......, defeated, because of incompetence, I missed a big thing!"

The reason why the fourth master rushed back to the house at noon was that he was ready to discuss a countermeasure with Wu Sidao, and at this time, seeing that Wu Sidao had already guessed the root, the fourth master would not have anything to hide, but seeing that he shook his head with a bitter face, he sighed and sighed.

"Defeated? How to lose? ”

Although he had already guessed the result before, he really heard the fourth master confirm it himself, Wu Sidao's heart still couldn't help but twitch, but the stakes were very high, and Wu Sidao didn't care about what the fourth master thought, so he hurriedly asked the bottom of the question.

"This king doesn't know the details, but I learned some news from the bastard boy's report, according to his statement, Jing Cheng wiped out a total of 989 White Lotus Sect bandits in the first battle, none of them lived, and this king still doesn't know whether the bald donkey is alive or dead, alas......"

As soon as it came to the battle of Jingcheng, the fourth master's face became more and more ugly, there was no side, if this matter really made a fuss, it was really difficult to guarantee that the old man would not be angry and hurt the killer, besides, even if the old man did not die to investigate this matter, the loss of the elite of the "blood drops" alone was not something that the fourth master could afford, you must know that the fourth master was not as generous as the eighth master, in order to form the "blood drops" This dead soldier force, the fourth master has invested blood money in frugality, and now the elite has lost everything, How can you call the fourth master without being very sad.

"How could this be? It's too bizarre. ”

In his opinion, although such a detailed plan cannot be said to be perfect, but in general, it is almost perfect, not to mention that the strength of the tripartite alliance is more than three times that of Hongqing's side, not to mention that the tripartite alliance is more than three times that of Hongqing's side, not to mention that the tripartite alliance is as good as a cloud of masters, just to say that the strength of the two-way guard army is enough to destroy Hongqing's department, this advantage is not insignificant, but the result is actually Hongqing's victory, or a complete victory, which makes Wu Sidao inevitably a little unbelievable.

"Alas, it is said that the guy hid a large number of firearms in the ranks and secretly set up an ambush, so he ......"

The fourth master couldn't believe that he would end up in a fiasco when he had such a big advantage, and after explaining a sentence, he was so sad that he couldn't speak.

"Firearms? Hmmm......"

As soon as he heard the fourth master mention firearms, Wu Sidao's eyes immediately lit up, and he already had some plans in his heart, but he hadn't made a plan yet, but he was not in a hurry to break it, but thought about it with a slight frown.

"Lord Wang, the eighth master sent someone to send a letter, please take a look at the prince."

Just when Wu Sidao was hesitating, he saw the head of the palace hurriedly turn out of the screen, hurriedly grabbed the copywriter where the fourth master was sitting, bowed down, and handed the letter in his hand to the fourth master.

"Hmm."

This is a letter from the eighth master, the fourth master can't help but be a burst of fire, no side, the last time is the letter from the eighth master, otherwise, the fourth master really didn't think about it, and now the eighth master has such a hand, the fourth master is angry is inevitable, but, it didn't come out on the spot, but said with a cold face, impatiently grabbed the letter, tore open the seal hard, took out a piece of paper full of words from the inside, quickly glanced at it, his face suddenly became wonderful, and he was stunned for a long time. didn't say much, but handed the letter to Wu Sidao.

"This article can be done, but it may not be able to succeed, since Hongqing Xiaoer dares to act so arbitrarily, there must be a way to deal with it, and it may be difficult to move its roots, however, there is some hope for dividing its authority."

Most of the letters from the eighth master are greetings and nonsense, and they are rambling a lot, and they are all short in the parents, only in the end they mentioned a few words about firearms, and they only said that firearms are extremely sharp, which can be seen from the great victory of Jingcheng, and said that if such sharp weapons are not well controlled, I am afraid that there will be endless disasters, as for how to control it, but it is vague, literally, this letter is just an ordinary greeting private message, but how can the meaning of the inside be hidden from people like Wu Sidao, only a little calculation, already knew where the eighth master's calculation was, but Wu Sidao didn't object to trying it.

"Well, according to Mr., if you let Li'er take care of it, Huang Ama will allow it?"

The power of firearms in the Ministry of Industry is really coveted, and the fourth master is no exception.

"Let's go five-five."

Wu Sidao thought about it, and then gave an uncertain answer.

"Fifty percent? Then you might as well give it a try, it's just that the old bastard ......"

Fifty percent of the hope is not low, let alone five into it, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, the fourth master also wants to fight for it, not for anything else, just because the sharpness of firearms is too tempting, who can control it, who has the foundation of the great cause, the fourth master is impossible not to be moved, but he can't help but be suspicious of the eighth master's intention to propose this matter, and he doesn't believe that the eighth master will support himself aimlessly.

"The eighth master is not thinking about this, heh, even if he wants to, His Majesty will definitely not be approved, if according to Wu's view, the eighth master estimates that he wants to take advantage of the situation to promote firearms, there is no other, when it comes to the forces in the army, when it comes to the eighth master, once the firearms are popularized, the eighth master will inevitably benefit the most, from this point of view, this time the eighth master will fully support the prince."

Wu Sidao is a wise man in the world, since he has long seen through the hidden intentions of the eighth master, and at this time, seeing that the fourth master is quite wary of joining forces with the eighth master again, he couldn't help laughing, and his words definitely revealed the true intentions of the eighth master.

"Hmmm......"

Thinking of the huge hidden power of the eighth master in the army, the fourth master couldn't help but hesitate again, no side, he was only a usable talent in the army, not to mention compared with the eighth master, it is compared with the third master and the thirteenth master, they are extremely far behind, if firearms are popularized, the fourth master really does not dare to guarantee that he can take advantage of it at that moment in the future, and he can't help but feel a little more annoyed under the indecision, this silence is a long time, but he has never made a decision......

"Your Majesty has a will, Xuan, Renjun Wang Hongqing Yang Xin Palace to meet you!"

**Before, Qin Wuyong, the head of the performance office, looked at Hongqing, who was kneeling on the ground, expressionlessly, and procrastinated the old man's message.

"Grandson Commander Thanksgiving, Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Since leaving Jingcheng, Hongqing went all the way to the capital, but because the team not only has baggage, but also has a large number of injuries, the speed is really not very fast, from Jingcheng to Jingshi, walked for three days, until last night when it was dark, only arrived in Beijing, since it is impossible to face the saint in a timely manner, according to the court rules, before the delivery of the envoy, can not go back to their own house, can only live in the post station outside the city, this morning rushed to the ** outside, handed the sign to see, but did not wait long, got the old man's command, At this time, thank you for it, and it is the proper meaning of the question.

"Lord Wang, please, Your Majesty and all the brothers are already waiting inside."

Qin Wuyong obviously wanted to sell Hongqing a good one, and when he saw Hongqing get up, he hurriedly said something.

"There is Lao Qin's father-in-law, please."

Although Qin Wuyong's reminder was extremely vague, Hongqing knew something strange as soon as he heard it, nothing else, just to remind Hongqing that things had changed, and this, it had long been expected by Hongqing, but he didn't care too much, of course, Qin Wuyong handed over the olive branch, Hongqing would not refuse, so he waved his hand with a smile, and when the two sides were staggered, with a flick of his fingers, a folded hundred taels of silver ticket had already unknowingly slipped into Qin Wuyong's wide sleeves, Even if Qin Wuyong smiled so much that his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, he didn't say any more, but bowed diligently to lead the way for Hongqing.

Oh, it's going to start again, so come on!

Although the heart hall is not close to **, it is not far away, all the way down, it is only half a pillar of incense time has reached the ground, before entering the hall, Hongqing has always been calm footsteps slightly paused, so as to quickly adjust the mentality, and then proudly walked up the steps in front of the hall......
